[00:00] daftykins, I got it thanks... I knew I was on the right track. [00:02] daftykins, I'm in windows now. How do I check the wired LAN adapter? [00:03] When I install ubuntu server, and it asks to install grub on the master partition is that ok? My master partition is windows 7 [00:03] Ethix: Check it for ___________? [00:03] jeffreylevesque: Yes [00:03] jeffreylevesque: it's ok! [00:03] I just installed ubuntu server 14 but i elected not to install grub [00:03] jeffreylevesque: It's "master boot record" [00:03] should i reinstall? [00:03] or is it hard to install just grub? [00:04] jeffreylevesque, what is the master partition? the exact sdX [00:04] jeffreylevesque: probably it wont boot , install grub [00:04] jeffreylevesque: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:04] do i boot up into the USB installation image? [00:04] jeffreylevesque: yes [00:04] jeffreylevesque: See above link [00:07] daftykins, okay, I think I have it.... Manufacturer: Intel. Description: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM. Driver version: 12.11.77.1 . Is that the information you wanted? [00:07] usr13: i inserted my usb. It has the following options: Default, help, install, command-line install, expert install, command-line expert install, rescue mode, install ubuntu server, multiple server install with maas, check disc for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk [00:09] Etale: yeah, that's a recognisable device. how are you progressing on the 12.04 install idea? will you go ahead with that? [00:10] I uninstalled the previous Ubuntu, and I just now finished burning the iso, daftykins. [00:10] So I'll restart now and do it. [00:10] Etale: ok sounds good. [00:11] Beldar: it probably would be good, but i have no ideas on what to do with 14.04 not UEFI booting [00:11] daftykins, Heh not many if us do, I just wonder if the disk was good or just a nomodeset needed. [00:13] Beldar: mmm, could be! [00:13] eeee + Beldar - i've heard of issues i think in both 12.04 and 14.04 with these 7xxx series intel wifi adapters, either of you had any experience? constant connection dropping i think is the symptom [00:13] Okay, looks like it's loading, unlike the 14.04. So probably I'll be able to install it. [00:14] jeffreylevesque: command-line [00:14] Etale: do you still have the 14.04 DVD to hand? [00:14] Not at the moment, but I have the iso for it. [00:14] daftykins, Not sure there, this computer does have a bug reported on 14.04 boots the user showed, bummer that such a nice computer with gobs of ram does not just work. [00:14] usr13, how do i find out the master boot to install grub to? [00:14] Beldar, right! [00:14] jeffreylevesque: See section "The terminal way" in the above link. [00:15] usr13, sounds good [00:15] usr13, whats the 'XXX' for master boot? [00:15] jeffreylevesque, Do you have more than One HD? [00:15] jeffreylevesque: I think you have to chroot to the filesystem first [00:15] just one [00:15] one disk [00:15] 3 partitions i think [00:15] Oh, hey, looks like the 12.04 install can see wifi, unlike the 13.04 install! [00:16] Etale: ok, if you booted to the 'try' mode it might be useful to see the network adapters working fir.... first :) [00:16] jeffreylevesque, THan it would be sda most likely, you could boot it with supergrub and install to the mbr easier. [00:16] Etale: do you also get an eth0 if you open a terminal and run "ifconfig -a" ? [00:16] jeffreylevesque: Actually, you need rescue mode [00:16] jeffreylevesque, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ [00:17] daftykins, I'll install first, and then play around with the internet.. [00:17] jeffreylevesque: Skip to the bottom on that link, "Using the Ubuntu Alternate CD" [00:17] jeffreylevesque: And then back up to "The terminal way" [00:17] Etale: okie-dokie [00:18] jeffreylevesque: replace xxx with your actual HD designation [00:18] usr13, is that equivealent with me just saying yes to installing grub to master boot? [00:18] jeffreylevesque: sda *(Right)*? [00:18] Yes [00:19] daftykins: my connection was dropping a lot, i added "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf , it supposedly uses another protocol which renders the connection more stable and less prone to reconnections but somewhat slower. It's hard to tell it worked for me, but i've had it off for a while without any disconnections, it's pretty intermittent and i dont know if it really helps or not. [00:19] jeffreylevesque: sudo fdisk -l #Will show you a list of your HDs and Partitions. [00:19] for now, I will use superdisk [00:20] eeee: hmm, forcing to 802.11g only? [00:20] I'm in the partitioning bit now. Can you remind me? Should I make the "device for boot loader installation" the partition mounted on "/" or on "/boot"? [00:20] jeffreylevesque: "superdisk" ? What is that? [00:20] jeffreylevesque, If you get the boot to ubuntu with supergrub just run sudo grub-install /dev/sda than sudo update-grub all this isn the terminal [00:20] supergrub rather [00:21] Hey guys, can someone recommend a good IDE for Ubuntu, GNOME, I'm doing some dev work and I need something clean. Thanks. [00:21] yeah, it seemed to fix the problem, then it reappeared after a while, i can't really say anything about it, i have it off now and everything is ok [00:21] Bisono, IDE? [00:21] jeffreylevesque: As Beldar suggests, you just have to commands to execute. [00:22] *two* not to [00:22] integrated development environment [00:22] yeah.... [00:22] I tried eclipse but I'm not feeling it. [00:22] i'm no dev, but i assume that decision is about what you want to develop in [00:22] php, html, css, etc... [00:22] Bisono: you'd be better off finding a channel for the given language you want to dev [00:23] oh web stuff. yeah, no ideas [00:23] jeffreylevesque: (I'm just giving you fish hooks, Beldar gave you the fish.) ;) [00:23] supergrub rules lol [00:24] thanks ... [00:25] beldar sucks [00:26] i too like lollipops [00:26] Etale: you don't really need a separate /boot, you can get away with just / and swap - you'd only need swap if you wanted to hibernate that system, too. [00:27] so you may be able to install with just everything as / [00:29] daftykins, okay. It's a small partition anyway... And I should make my / the "device for boot loader installation"? [00:29] Etale: isn't there supposed to be an EFI partition for win8 already there? [00:30] eeee: i was getting confused at being asked that too :S [00:31] eeee, maybe? I don't know how to recognize it. There are some partitions there that are Windows' so I just don't touch them. For example, a recovery partition... [00:31] You mean the one that is type "biosgrub"? [00:31] Size 1MB? [00:32] huh [00:32] stranger by the minute.. === whoever is now known as Guest37848 [00:32] Quite small for a EFI partition [00:32] Screw it, I'll just make it the "/" partition. [00:32] i'm guessing win8 is installed in legacy mode? [00:32] eeee, I don't think so. If I take the option of "legacy only" in the setup, nothing runs. [00:32] maybe that's why it says legacy mode first in the bios? [00:33] Etale: Did WIndows 8 come preinstalled? [00:33] saiarcot895, yes. [00:33] Etale: Where did you put the boot device when you installed 13.04 [00:33] Etale: Then I would think that it's EFI, with Microsoft's requirements and all that [00:33] is there no unrar-nonfree anymore ? i cant unrar x my rar file :( [00:34] Etale: i have a feeling the DVD booted on the wrong mode, one moment... [00:34] ryan_46, I don't remember. Anyways, I'm starting installation. Let's see if it works. [00:34] !uefi | Etale [00:34] 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 [00:34] yabbou: Did you just try unrar? [00:34] yep, saiarcot895 and 7zr [00:34] Etale: if you follow the above link, do you see the difference between the black and white menu EFI boot and the purple screen with the little man logo at the bottom? [00:34] "extracting failed" [00:35] rar is in multiverse, see if you enabled multiverse repo in your sources. [00:35] yabbou: unrar-nonfree is in the unrar package, so you should have it installed [00:35] Etale: it's just after "Identifying if the computer boots the Ubuntu DVD in EFI mode" [00:35] !info rar [00:35] rar (source: rar): Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2:4.2.0-1 (trusty), package size 610 kB, installed size 1270 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [00:35] I got the second, daftykins . Purple. [00:35] !info unrar | yabbou [00:35] yabbou: unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:5.0.10-1 (trusty), package size 133 kB, installed size 298 kB [00:35] so its in the unrar package these days [00:35] unrar too [00:35] Etale: then it definitely booted in the wrong mode [00:35] ah, well then i have it.. i have unrar [00:36] daftykins, but this is what happened last time, and that worked fine... [00:36] thanks saiarcot895 [00:36] any ideas what to do when you cant extract a .rar file = [00:36] Etale: i thought you didn't get a tiny man when you booted last time with ubuntu 14.04? [00:36] Etale: ok if you could run a couple of things to check some things first then, a little more time now will help prevent issues further along the line. [00:36] Hey folks, was wondering if anyone would be willing to assist with an odd issue: I'm attempting to upgrade from 13.04 to 14.04 and it's not allowing me to either via software updater or terminal. It's telling me that everything is up to date on the system, which clearly it is not. [00:37] With 14.04 I didn't. With 13.04 I did. [00:37] Etale: if you run a terminal with ctrl+alt+T, then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [00:37] def_anoch: what commands are you using to try to upgrade from 13.04 to 14.04? [00:37] def_anoch: You need to switch the sources.list URLs to old-releases.ubuntu.com [00:37] daftykins, I'll do that once that's available. [00:37] yabbou: Download the file again? [00:37] its not corrupted -,- [00:37] Etale: it'd be best if you did this before attempting to install [00:38] nith1210: How would I go about doing that? [00:38] Etale: you'll need to be connected to the internet for the above [00:38] saiarcot895: I'm using 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' from terminal. [00:39] saiarcot895: and the stand gui software update manager when, for the first time, that didn't work for me. [00:39] def_anoch: 13.04 is a year old, and if you did 'sudo apt-get update', you should be getting 404 errors. [00:39] standard* [00:39] saiarcot895: Yup, sounds about right. [00:39] dist-upgrade does not upgrade distribution version [00:39] Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda9' failed. This is a fatal error. I guess my guess was wrong. [00:40] def_anoch: See http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-old-unsupported-release [00:40] I'll try the '/boot' partition instead. [00:40] saiarcot895: Thanks much, checking that out now. [00:40] Etale: no, guessing is just going to make things worse [00:40] Etale: if you can boot the DVD in 'Try Ubuntu' mode, we can check things with some commands first. [00:40] def_anoch: Note that you'll have to go through 13.10, since a direct upgrade to 14.04 is not supported. [00:41] saiarcot895: That's what I assumed, but it wouldn't even let me upgrade to that. Much appreciated. [00:41] Etale: i think daftykins suggestion is sound, if it's booting into legacy why don't you disable legacy in the bios and let ubuntu install in uefi mode, using the efi partition of win8? [00:44] I'm trying to mount a fakeRAID partition before I dump it off onto a new drive. [00:44] Etale: never mind, i forgot you already have 13.04 installed. [00:44] eeee, I removed it. [00:45] dmraid -ay says everything has been activated, fdisk -l shows the two partitions on the disk, but the corresponding /dev/mapper location it points to doesn't exist. [00:45] Any ideas? [00:45] Okay, I canceled the installation. daftykins , I'll open ubuntu via try now. [00:46] Anyone in here have experience with intels 7260 wireless nic? [00:47] ZZRMike, ask the real question please [00:50] evening [00:50] is it me or is browsing a windows network a PITA on 14.04? [00:51] not for me anyway [00:51] Image, This is support do you have a question related to that? [00:51] I can connect to all shared drives by using the "connect to a server" feature but not by clicking the "browse network" option [00:51] Beldar is that not a support question? [00:51] nautilus shows a 'browse network' option where you can browse to workgroup and see computers [00:51] that helps thanx image [00:52] daftykins, okay I'm in the try ubuntu thing. For some reason I can't apt-get install pastebinit. But I did "sudo parted -l" and I can answer questions about it. [00:52] sorry if it is not [00:52] saiarcot895: Since you helped me so soundly with that last one, I was wondering if you may know why the 13.04 distro all of the sudden won't allow me to connect to a wpa2 encrypted wireless network? The results google showed didn't give me anything that worked. I had to set up a guest access account on the network just to get on [00:52] Actually, I have an internet connection. I'll just put it on pastebin via firefox... [00:52] Image, The complaint does not, but the description is. ;) [00:53] svetlana i tried that but it only shows my printer and my local ubuntu machine using samba [00:53] Beldar, agreed [00:53] daftykins, pastebin.com/LdFDC4Nm [00:53] Image, do you have winbindd installed? [00:53] any programmers here? Where do most of you keep your programming files. I usually make a folder called "Programming" in home, and go from there. [00:54] Akiva-Thinkpad, yes. I call it 'dev'. [00:54] def_anoch: NOt sure why you would no longer connect to an encrypted Wireless AP but just FYI: EOL for 13.04 was January 27, 2014 [00:54] svetlana, interesting [00:54] hmmm [00:54] svetlana, ill check [00:54] svetlana, dev looks out of place though in the home folder. [00:55] "out of place through"? [00:55] Etale: looking now [00:55] svetlana, and in unix, dev afaik refers to device [00:55] usr13: Yah, I know it was a while back. I was just hoping someone might have a quick fix so I can shut down the guest connection setup :) I'm currently updating the distro to 13.10 and then on to 14.04 [00:55] if i install ubuntu server 14 as a dual boot. AFter I select 'yes' to install GRUB to the master boot record, will i be prompted following, where to install GRUB. If so, where should i specify [00:55] devel then, maybe [00:55] def_anoch: If you are going to use Ubuntu, you need to stay on a supported version. [00:55] not like devices live in /home/user/ though :s [00:56] :p [00:56] daftykins, the idea is that one of the partitions will be a shared ntfs partition between linux and windows. [00:56] def_anoch: It would be very hard for us to troubleshoot your LAN setup. [00:56] sda10... [00:56] jeffreylevesque, THe mbr if you are running a msdos or legacy boot in gpt. [00:56] svetlana, i didnt [00:56] sda7 is meant to be /boot, and sda9 is meant to be ubuntu. [00:56] installing now [00:56] def_anoch: The easiest thing to do is to eliminate the encryption, (as you've done). [00:56] usr13: Plan on it. I was updating it from an older laptop that I hadn't used in a while so I was still running the 13.04. I couldn't update because none of the network connections worked anymore for some reason, neither wired or wifi. So I'm using the guest setup now to update :) [00:56] Etale: ok there is no need for a /boot partition, so i would delete all the custom created ones and then work on getting that DVD booting in UEFI mode instead of legacy (so you see the black and white menu instead) [00:56] Beldar: I'm running windows 7 on the primary partition [00:57] jeffreylevesque, This msdos? [00:57] I'm just making general notes in case I need to do this gain [00:57] usr13: I wasn't actually hoping for a "fix" per say, I was more curious as to why it may happen as I don't like running into things that I don't understand heh [00:57] daftykins, how do I do that? [00:57] Just switch to "legacy only"? I guess I can try. [00:57] Etale: no, change the priority so it isn't legacy first [00:57] Etale: the boot change? press F12 at boot and it should list your DVD drive twice... one entry for UEFI and one for legacy. [00:58] def_anoch: If you work with computers very much, you will *always* run into new things that you dont understand. [00:58] Beldar: windows 7 on first partition (ntfs), then ubuntu server 14 on second partition (etf) [00:58] jeffreylevesque, etf? [00:58] usr13: Yup, which is why I like to figure it out ;) [00:58] eeee: oh yeah good spot, Etale yep do as suggested [00:58] svetlana, right on man! that got er done! ;P [00:58] Beldar: ext4 [00:58] def_anoch: But if it was working before, why would it not work now? THat is your question? [00:58] Also, what partition should I pick as my "device for boot loader installation" when I install? [00:58] svetlana thank you sir! [00:58] jeffreylevesque, Thanks, is this a computer with a uefi bios? [00:59] Etale: you won't get that option in UEFI iirc [00:59] usr13: Essentially, yes. I hadn't changed any settings, nor had I changed the network settings themselves. It accepted the password as it did previously, and then just hung up and disconnected. [00:59] okay. [00:59] def_anoch: And if that is the question, you would need to look for changes to the system prior to that date. [00:59] Beldar: not sure [00:59] Etale: it probably won't ask that once it's booting in EFI mode properly, as it'll know to use the EFI FAT partition [01:00] jeffreylevesque, Can you get to a terminal from the ubuntu install disc to run sudo parted -l we can have it dump to a paste bin if needed to see. [01:00] usr13: Roger, that was my thought when a quick google didn't give me an answer. [01:00] Okay, it's loading in UEFI mode! [01:00] def_anoch: Something like ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list [01:00] So I'll just go ahead and install... [01:01] Beldar: the supergrub ISO didn't work with either FAT, or NTFS formatted USB (using UNetbootin), so I'm loading up the rescue mode [01:01] def_anoch: Shift-PageUP [01:01] How would I go about troubleshooting a connection issue with my wifi nic? I can use my phone's connection just fine, but as soon as I try to connect to any traditional access point I start having connection issues. [01:01] usr13: Much obliged. I didn't know about that specifically. [01:01] Etale: this is a HUGE long shot, but why don't you try the ubuntu 14.04 cd ? (if it's on a cd already and you dont have to make a bootable usb) [01:01] Beldar: But, when i write up my documentation, i'd like to have the steps to setup ubuntu properly [01:02] jeffreylevesque, The general problem we see are computers now having UEFI bios and gpt partition tables. People will wipe the disc and go msdos installs but still have gpt remnants messing things up. [01:02] i just don't want to install again [01:02] def_anoch: But if it were me, I'd just get the system updated first, (because you are more-than-likely solving a problem that wont exist afterward, so...). [01:03] usr13: Yup. That's what I'm doing now, and was actually the original driving force behind the upgrade seeing as how my version was so far out of date. [01:03] jeffreylevesque, If it was bootable and you used supergrub correctly and could not get a boot I would say you have a bad install, or gpt issues possibly. [01:04] def_anoch: 14.04 is a good place to be. It is LTS and it is supported until April 2019 [01:05] Beldar, can i install grub to the second partition (/dev/sda2)? Will this allow me to boot into Ubuntu (which is on the second partition) [01:05] usr13: I'm excited to see the changes. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty with it. [01:05] def_anoch: The easiest thing to do would to back up /home/ (and/or, don't format that partition), and do a fresh 14.04 install. [01:05] jeffreylevesque, Why is a server your option, that is kinda advanced stuff, I would not even mess with it and I'm experienced, however I don't need a server. [01:05] def_anoch: I always put /home/ on a partition of it's own. [01:06] def_anoch: But just backing up the files is fine. [01:06] Can a virus disable the wifi button on my laptop??? [01:06] john38: no [01:06] usr13: *nods* as soon as I ensure that the wireless connection works with the update I plan on wiping the box and starting fresh. I just need to back up some photo sets [01:06] john38: BTW, are you on the wrong channel? [01:07] usr13, thanks [01:07] eeee: i was tempted to push for it too, but perhaps we can just try the upgrade approach [01:07] def_anoch: The liveCD or USB will tell you that.... [01:07] jeffreylevesque> Beldar, can i install grub to the second partition (/dev/sda2)? Will this allow me to boot into Ubuntu (which is on the second partition) Not if sda2 is windows. Do you understand my comments on gpt and msdos regarding partition tables? [01:08] usr13: Point ;). It actually worked fine when I set up a liveusb so I suppose I'm just going in circles right now [01:08] jeffreylevesque: Just install grub to the MBR of sda [01:08] jeffreylevesque: /dev/sda [01:08] def_anoch: yep [01:08] daftykins: yeah, it's all good :) [01:09] usr13: Thanks much for the help though, I appreciate your time. [01:09] def_anoch: NP. Glad to be of assistance. === blubberbop is now known as phoenixz [01:11] jeffreylevesque: (grub will detect the other OS and automatically boot it. You get the choice at boot time. [01:12] jeffreylevesque, Any way others are just willing to give you answers without digging deeper like I will, so this is a waste of my time I have to wood shed on an instrument at this time. [01:21] hello [01:21] hi [01:24] Beldar: What does it mean to wood shed an instrument? [01:25] usr13: i believe it means work on his musical instrument, the type of which i've forgotten [01:25] trumpet? [01:25] saxophone [01:26] daftykins: Yea, maybe sax [01:27] sax [01:27] awesome [01:28] eeee, I put in Ubuntu 14.04 to try to install that now. I get a bunch of errors of the type "SQUASHFS error: unable to read page, block blah, size blah". [01:28] Screw it, I'll just install 12.04 instead. [01:28] eeee: bad download? bad burn? [01:28] Etale: rightyo [01:28] daftykins, definitely not a bad burn. I checked. [01:29] Etale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors [01:29] ah, verify mode? [01:29] install 14.04 [01:29] what commands can I use to list raid drives in prepartion for fsck? [01:29] Etale: yeah, it seems it has to do with the laptop model [01:29] fdisk -l and df are not showing me an expected output of /dev/md2 [01:29] derrrrp: Do not run fsck on mounted partition(s) [01:29] Okay, 12.04 it is. Should I try to upgrade later, or is it hopeless/not worth it? [01:29] Etale: just so you know, it appears a downgrade of the bios fixes the problem, i wouldn't suggest it though.. [01:30] usr13: i've already unmounted the partition, i just want to verify now that it is visible, and that it is unmounted [01:30] Etale: see what works after the install and fully updating 12.04, first [01:30] seems messy business, just install 12.04 and upgrade [01:30] eeee: mmm, Lenovo often make their updates uni-directional [01:30] daftykins: mount [01:30] usr13: derrrrp ^ [01:30] derrrrp: mount && sudo fdisk -l [01:31] do my fellow helpers that aren't ops, what do you think about us having our own channel aside from this? [01:31] s/do/to/ [01:31] daftykins: #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics [01:32] usr13: fdisk -l lists my physical drives... should i be running fsck on individual drives or the whole partition? [01:32] for raid ^ [01:32] derrrrp: Run fsck on partition(s) [01:32] roger that [01:32] derrrrp: (one at a time) [01:32] usr13: how do i list the partitions, because no partitions are showing up after i unmounted it [01:33] i want an easy way to see 1) what partitions are currently mounted, and 2) what partitions are not mounted but available [01:33] derrrrp: sudo fdisk -l [01:34] derrrrp: mount #to see which ones are mounted [01:34] I'm sorry Ubuntu [01:34] usr13: fdisk -l is not returning partitions, only physical disks [01:34] derrrrp: lsblk, easy and visually appealing [01:35] it's been a long time coming, but I've finally made my move to OpenSUSE. You were ambitious but much too unstable for me. I will always love your helpful community, something I am surely to miss when I move to SUSE. Adieu! [01:35] eeee: lsblk is not currently installed on this system, or I would have used that :( [01:35] derrrrp: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit #Let's have a look. [01:35] Foxhoundz: enjoy [01:35] derrrrp: sudo parted -l, then? [01:37] Hi, I'd like to know how I can upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04.1 [01:37] eeee, usr13: http://pastebin.com/XsFYVX1n thanks [01:38] eeee: i don't believe i have parted installed either lol [01:38] eeee: i'll check after this preliminary fsck -n pass finishes === Synchunk` is now known as Synchunk [01:38] derrrrp: On drive sda you have 4 partitions, sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda5 [01:39] daftykins: Not a thing, but what is wrong with asking if we can use #ubuntuforums ? [01:39] derrrrp: Same with the others. === magic is now known as Logician [01:40] Bashing-om: that's a good idea, i didn't know of that one [01:40] derrrrp: Correction. sda3 is actually an extended partition, containing one continious logical partition sda5 [01:40] usr13: they're in a raid configuration, i've been told by some people to just fsck the entirety of /dev/md2 [01:40] but i can't seem to see dev/md2 normally, which i'm trying to figure out [01:40] derrrrp: man fsck [01:41] daftykins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/UbuntuIRCHelpers happened a few years ago. It died due to lack of interest. [01:41] rww: :O thanks [01:42] usr13: what is it under fsck would you like me to look at? [01:42] daftykins: Nother one ( thjat is currently not seeing much use) #ubuntuforumsunanswered . [01:43] derrrrp: See section "FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL" [01:44] derrrrp: man man [01:44] derrrrp: (learn to search man files for needed info.) [01:45] usr13: so in otherwords you're telling me to rtfm, thanks. [01:45] derrrrp: You are welcome [01:45] rtfm ? [01:45] Read The Fine Manal [01:45] eeee: "read the fscking manual" [01:46] yeah i kind of understood it right before derrrrp answered, lol [01:46] derrrrp: man files are your friends. === Logician is now known as magic [01:46] if I use the gui file browser and point to ssh://myfileserver, where does that get mounted? [01:46] eeee, daftykins , Ubuntu 12.04 installation worked! BUT! No wlan0? That's pretty weird, seeing as the installation detected the wifi... [01:46] derrrrp: he's trying to teach you how to learn stuff [01:47] That's what we're here for [01:47] eeee: yes I realize that, and it's counterproductive when I am seeking help to solve a problem [01:47] We have fish hooks and we have fish [01:47] Etale: was it connected to the wifi at the time - with 'install updates during install' selected? [01:47] daftykins, yes. [01:47] Etale: yeah, sometimes what works in the live environment breaks once updates are applied [01:48] Etale: daftykins // Maybe fully update 12.04 and see what "additional drivers" offers ? [01:48] Also, I can't see the shared partition for some reason, when doing "df"? [01:48] ^ sounds good, we know it to be intel 7xxx series wifi Bashing-om [01:49] derrrrp: There are a couple of ways to do what you want to do, it is up to you to discover which best fits your needs. [01:49] Etale: it's probably just not mounted [01:49] Etale: depends if you gave it a mount point during the install [01:49] daftykins, I didn't... Should I have? [01:49] Oy... [01:49] Etale: it's no biggy to resolve [01:50] Etale: you just go to the file manager and click on the partition to mount it, [01:50] I told you the way I would do it. I would just do one partition at a time. *(That was my suggestion)* fsck -y /dev/sda1 [01:50] In the "additional drivers" it just has NVIDIA stuff. (Which, btw, it won't allow me to activate...) [01:50] eeee, right! gj! [01:51] And what about the wifi? [01:51] derrrrp: do sda1 sda2 and then sda5 Then move on to sdb [01:52] derrrrp: Or, pick the one you think there may be a problem with. [01:53] Etale: mmm i need to look that up, if you open a terminal and run "lspci" can you remind me of the # ? intel 7260? [01:54] The lspci is long... But I have a Intel Single Band Wireless 7260BN. [01:55] usr13: I want to do a complete scan and I want to make sure that I don't accidentally mess anything up in the process... I'm not familiar w/ scanning LVM raid [01:55] not sure if that has an impact on how I should be using fsck [01:56] hey, is there some tool that i could use to maintain a list of ssh sessions w/credentials, settings, etc. associated with each? [01:56] i could use putty, but i'm wondering if there's anything else [01:57] usr13, wood shed is a slang term for practicing. ;) [01:57] diphtherial, what do you mean? you can put custom settings for different sessions in your ~/.ssh.conf [01:58] ~/.ssh/config [01:58] psusi: to put it simply, i'm looking for a program with a GUI that displays a list of ssh hosts [01:58] that i'd previously added, of course [01:58] I guess I should do "sudo apt-get upgrade"? [01:58] I'll just do that. Maybe this will help the wifi... [01:58] 183 need to be upgraded. [01:58] Etale: that'd require an internet connection. can you do "cat /etc/issue" ? [01:59] Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l [01:59] oh you have working wired, excellent [01:59] Etale: do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" rather than a standard upgrade [01:59] Okay. === aaaas is now known as aaas [01:59] Etale: best to do a "sudo apt-get update" prior to that too :> [01:59] mmm... [02:00] It didn't like that at all... [02:00] E: unable to fetch some arhjives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [02:00] *archives [02:00] Should I do that? [02:01] Is there an ubuntu server 14.04 for 32-bit computers? [02:01] (the --fix-missing)? [02:02] Should I? daftykins , eeee ? [02:02] GeekDude: http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.1-server-i386.iso [02:03] Thank you rww. Any reason the webpage says this? https://db.tt/GpLeKGWC [02:03] Etale: no, you just have no active connection right now by the sounds of it. do you get any interface *other than* 'lo' from "ifconfig -a" ? [02:03] diphtherial, what for? you know where you want to ssh to so you just type sss wheverver... if the host name is too long or you normally specify options, you can put the options and a short alias in your ssh conf file [02:03] daftykins, eth0. [02:04] Etale: ah does it have an IP address on your network? [02:04] working internet connection on the system etc? [02:04] GeekDude: interesting. Not sure, will research it. [02:04] daftykins, you mean an "inet"? [02:04] How do I check? [02:05] Etale: it should have an address like 192.168.x.x [02:05] beside eth0 [02:05] Etale: just try to browse with firefox, or try ping google.com [02:05] (assuming you have your cable plugged in) [02:05] No... [02:05] GeekDude, tried to download the arm version maybe? [02:05] maybe [02:05] unknown host google.com [02:05] * GeekDude double checks [02:06] kostkon: doesn't look like it [02:07] Etale: "ping -c3 8.8.8.8" ? [02:07] Etale: do you know your IP info ? [02:07] no === ubuntu is now known as Guest92494 [02:08] daftykins, network is unreachable. [02:08] ok sounds like you have no IP [02:08] eeee, I can check from another laptop on the same network. Does that count? [02:08] do you see two arrows beside the clock? [02:08] yep check the IP of another system [02:08] Etale: yeah get the gateway and dns [02:09] eeee, the dns you mean from /etc/resolv.conf? [02:09] what? no [02:10] i mean like your home network, e.g 192.168.1.1 [02:10] if it's an ubuntu machine, type ip addr, to get the info [02:10] eeee, what appears after the inet when I type ifconfig? [02:11] Okay, I did this. [02:12] ahooy! any good sandbox for linux mint? (sandbox firefox for security and privacy) [02:12] !mintsupport [02:12] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:13] ok thanks anyway [02:13] eeee, daftykins real life calls! My wife wants me to go to a place. I'll leave irc open for a few more minutes, so if you can give me just enough so that I can do some research on my own later about how to continue, that'd be great! [02:14] And thank you both very very much! [02:15] Etale: i found this for wifi but i have no idea how you'll accomplish it without a working internet connection - wouldn't hurt trying to run "sudo dhclient eth0" though. For WiFi - http://askubuntu.com/questions/331667/no-wireless-for-intel-corporation-7260-version-63 [02:17] Etale: you need to edit the connections > click on the network indicator > edit connections create > ethernet, add the ip address e.g. 192.168.1.2 for your ubuntu 12.04, and the gateway(& dns) e.g 192.168.1.1 [02:20] Okay, thanks again! I'm shutting off. [02:21] Hi, I'm writing an init.d script and of course its not starting properly. Where do errors generated from an init script get logged? [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] hello i want to have an ssh server with multiple users, who have different keys that give them a different level of access on the server [02:24] jakesyl you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [02:25] lol no need to spam jakesyl [02:25] users of the system are users on ssh [02:25] haha sorry new irc client, still not sure how it works brianblaze420 [02:25] hey, anyone know where the best place to find support for a not working old macbook? It won't power on or charge as far as I know, but it might still work [02:26] so how do i remotely add users to the system SchrodingersScat [02:26] install linux install ssh activate keys remove password authentication [02:27] jakesyl: probably through ssh [02:27] why remove pass authentication, i want this to be secure brianblaze420, so i don't know if this was clear in my intro but i have clients connecting to a non-local server and exchanging files [02:27] remove password authentication from sshd config so ppl have to use keys [02:27] jakesyl: you said you wanted to use keys... removing the password options forces the user to use keys instead [02:27] !users | jakesyl [02:27] jakesyl: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "sudo" - See !sudo [02:28] okay thanks geo [02:29] brianblaze420 told you twice, first :P [02:29] no worries, good luck [02:29] Hey, I'm getting an error with sudo apt-get update [02:29] E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en (1) [02:30] It says the "package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened." [02:31] geo, SchrodingersScat and is there any guide/documentation/crashcourse that you could point me to for what i want to do/ [02:31] laspahr: what *does* happen? nothing? [02:32] google ssh server there is tons of documentation and when u r pro with it it can be very secure [02:32] daftykins: well.. I open it up, plug it in, and depending on the charger the cord's LED turns orange flashing or green. the laptop does nothing that I know of [02:32] I copied the /etc/init.d/skeleton and modified it a bit, but the first 'echo' I put under the start case never prints, let alone my service start. Why would that be? [02:33] jakesyl: not sure we're completely clear what you are doing, but here's something about sftp: https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/limiting-access-with-sftp-jails-on-debian-and-ubuntu/ [02:34] jakesyl: google for disable ssh password auth or something similar [02:34] laspahr: mmm, #hardware then [02:34] there should be a lot of documentation out on it, its just removing/modifying an option from the sshd config, iirc [02:36] if you just want sftp plus jails, it is pretty straightforward [02:36] quick question to anyone who thinks they have thoughts on the matter, I really need help with this because I'm puzzled. [02:36] google will get you where you need. [02:36] daftykins: thx [02:36] why is every web browser I install slow as hell [02:36] daftykins: wait join #hardware? [02:36] laspahr: yep [02:36] laspahr: might be double ##, not sure [02:37] yup [02:37] copernicus: OS? version? hardware spec? [02:37] copernicus: could be any number of things [02:37] -nothing to do with bandwidth, my other machines are swift online [02:37] copernicus: bad dns, bad wifi, bad connection, crappy hardware... the list is endless [02:38] well this machine is a dell dimension 4600 pentium 2 at 2.80 ghz, lubuntu, 1GB ram, etc, etc [02:38] copernicus: did you have any iptables rules on this machine? [02:38] this machine runs fine, however chromium, firefox, etc all run laggy [02:38] meganerd, explain [02:39] copernicus: which part? [02:39] copernicus: can you grab the model from "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ? there's no such thing as a pentium 2 at 2.8GHz ;) [02:39] pentium 4, my bad [02:39] is dmesg the only way to see kernel messages? How can I view the complete bootup logging? [02:39] I'm still frazzled form work [02:39] from work** [02:39] copernicus: pentium 4s are still pretty terrible [02:39] ^ [02:39] I know, this machine was free though. [02:39] P4 and 1GB, even with lubuntu is pretty crappy [02:39] copernicus: i'd check the health condition of the hard disk though. [02:39] It's actually swift [02:40] in every way [02:40] ~3GHz P4 is fast enough [02:40] except browsing the web, the browser will lag [02:40] copernicus: it is the browsers, right now FF and chrome are together consuming 4+ GB of RAM on my NUC [02:40] copernicus: "sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" ... "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" [02:40] copernicus: P4 is not swift in anyway, unless you are comparing to ARM. [02:40] daftykins, the hard disk condition is at OK [02:41] copernicus: that would be reported so even if the disk were up the creek, could you run the above to be sure? [02:41] I'm installing luakit now to see if it will be anything better [02:41] copernicus, what's the graphics card, it could be graphics lag or something else like... flash [02:41] one moment daftykins [02:41] hey, is it possible to configure GRUB to automatically shutdown if an OS is not selected within the timeout period? [02:42] copernicus: anyway, are they slow to start, slow to browse, certain sites, there are literally a hundred things that could be going wrong. Flash would be the number 1 suspect for me [02:42] copernicus: have you enabled a firewall at all? [02:42] rocket_calibre, just for fun why? [02:42] rocket_calibre: i'd rather configure myself not to press power. [02:42] kostkon, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 garbage [02:43] meganerd, no, not beyond my router [02:43] copernicus: you could also disable hardware acceleration in the browsers [02:43] copernicus: OK, though on an unrelated note, a router is not a firewall. [02:45] 怎样从14.04升级到14.04.1，用的是麒麟 [02:45] copernicus: in FF preferences -> advanced -> general, uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available". Chrome/Chromium has a similar option at the bottom of their preference page [02:45] !cn | ytc [02:45] ytc: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [02:45] meganerd, I will try that [02:45] copernicus: I would actually uncheck everything else on that screen as well. [02:45] ubottu: THX [02:45] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:46] and my weird centurylink router has a built in firewall [02:46] copernicus: it might work, it probably doesn't though. This is now getting OT, sorry about that. [02:46] @Beldar, @daftykins: got an old laptop alongside lighting hooked up to 1 of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFQeBc-FsCc , would like it to auto shutdown unless a user decides they would like to use the laptop as well as the lights [02:47] how can i get into #ubuntu-cn ? [02:48] "/j #ubuntu-cn" [02:48] meganerd, would it be prudent to download the firewall creator I saw on Apper earlier or compile my own or? [02:48] ytc: type /join #ubuntu-cn [02:48] ProfessorKaos64, the kernel messages are logged in dmesg, syslog and kern.log files located in /var/log directory. The syslog file is a lot more verbose than dmesg. [02:48] brb [02:49] thanks varunendra [02:49] welcome ProfessorKaos64 :) [02:50] I wish I could figure out why my controller works fine on bootup with xboxdrv ,but not if I unplug it and replug in ubuntu (hid_sony module takes over) [02:51] copernicus: firewalls are built in (iptables), the rest are just front end apps. ufw ships with Ubuntu so I would just look at that. [02:51] ProfessorKaos64, what kind of controller? [02:51] ps3 usb/wired [02:51] rocket_calibre, Having the computer set up to start that way us the issue, that is lets say crazy. [02:51] copernicus: the reason I asked about a firewall is that I accidnetally blocked localhost traffic once and my browsers slowed down. [02:51] is* [02:51] no problem if I reboot, but i'm trying to implement hotplugging for the usb devices in my project [02:51] @Beldar, what makes it crazy? [02:52] varunendra, you can kind of get an idea of what I do in one of my helper scripts here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7870362/ [02:52] rocket_calibre, Personal opinion and offtopic. [02:52] ok [02:53] is it possible to configure grub to send a shutdown command? [02:53] thanks meganerd. [02:54] i need to share files to and from my macbook.. and i can't get it to work [02:54] i've created a share in ubuntu 12.04 and i can't see it from osx [02:54] via what method? [02:54] finder browsing? [02:55] FredTom: what did you create the share with? nfs, samba, sftp? [02:55] whatever the built in one is [02:56] rocket_calibre, try #grub they would be more likely to know I think [02:56] right click, sharing options, share this folder [02:56] Thanks @Beldar [02:57] rocket_calibre: what are you trying to achieve ultimately? [02:59] ProfessorKaos64, probably you may try a *logical* usb reset by detaching/re-attaching the usb hub driver from the PCI bus it is on? Works 100% with some devices but with some others, sometimes not or not at all. [02:59] eeee, @Beldar, @daftykins: got an old laptop alongside lighting hooked up to 1 of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFQeBc-FsCc , would like it to auto shutdown unless a user decides they would like to use the laptop as well as the lights [02:59] for conservation of power [02:59] Hey folks. I'm trying to repair an img file of a SSD I once had [02:59] and also pandering to laziness [03:00] it was a partclone made img file so it was in a img.gz.aa .ab .ac etc etc file === bob is now known as Guest2105 [03:00] I managed to assembled them into a simgle img file but it wont muont [03:00] WACOMalt, Not a new partition? [03:00] ? [03:01] no I'm not trying to restore to a new drive [03:01] ust trying to mount the img [03:01] WACOMalt, mount can be a number of issues partition is one, to be honest you are yet to give any relevant info we can work with [03:02] which info do I need to give, I'll happily help you help me, just dont know where to start [03:02] I used this answer to combine the files to one img: http://askubuntu.com/questions/453114/restoring-clonezilla-images-cat-gzip-partclone-not-working [03:03] it was a SSD with a single partition, which wound up being sda2 for the backup [03:03] I cannot for the life of me get VINO autostarting in Lubuntu 14.04. I have ~/.config/autostart/vino-server.desktop. Anyone got some pointers on how to troubleshoot autostart issues on LXDE? [03:03] WACOMalt, This an linux image? [03:03] it's an image of a windows machine [03:03] so in the commands I used ntfs instead [03:04] ProfessorKaos64, probably you may try a *logical* usb reset by detaching/re-attaching the usb hub driver from the PCI bus it is on? Works 100% with some devices but with some others, sometimes not or not at all. [03:04] WACOMalt: what exactly is the command you are using to mount the uncompressed image [03:04] WACOMalt, You did this a while back I remember this right? [03:04] varunendra, interesting, any reading material or hints on how to do that? I don't mind reading some docs if I have to [03:05] Beldar: sorry, left the room. I am trying to familiarize myself with Ubuntu Server, that's why I am trying to use it. I reinstalled ubuntu server 14.04 and made sure to install GRUB to the master boot record. It just finished. When the computer rebooted, there was no GRUB, or prompt to switch partitions. I rebooted windows, pressed F8, to see if I could boot into Ubuntu (Grub), but no luck. [03:05] mount -o loop sda2.img /mnt/oldssd [03:06] WACOMalt: and what is the error? [03:06] jeffreylevesque, Do you have any live ubuntu with a desktop, discs or usb? [03:06] jeffreylevesque: VM'ing with virtualbox would've probably been a far more suitable approach [03:07] ProfessorKaos64, I wrote a post on that a long ago, but my knowledge on the mechanism was very new and immature at that time (still not very strong), but see if it can help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2142366&p=12665382#post12665382 [03:07] Beldar: yes, sir. I created a USB bootstick with ubuntu server 14.04 (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server), with UNetbootin [03:07] is there a dedicated option for `find` to find substring, instead of specifically type`find -iname '*mysubstring*'` ?? [03:07] Anyone got any tips on troubleshooting autostart problems on LXDE? Everything else I want starts, except vino-server.? [03:07] hello [03:07] K I will check that out, and if it doesnt get me all the way, maybe some helpful clues none the less. Thanks! [03:07] please [03:07] NTFS Signature is missing [03:07] jay_why_bee: not to my knowledge. [03:07] jeffreylevesque, with a desktop not a server. [03:08] sudo mount -t ntfs /mnt/M_Drive/sda2.img /mnt/oldssd [03:08] is actually the command, sorry [03:08] when i installed ubuntu on my friends pc [03:08] daftykins, VM, having a OS on an OS slows down processes [03:08] Nickd55345353, ? in one line , ask please in one line ? [03:08] the sound seemed a little bit lower [03:08] WACOMalt: what does "file /mnt/M_Drive/sda2.img" return? [03:08] Nickd55345353, could be a hardware thing, my laptop is quieted under any os [03:08] jeffreylevesque: you wouldn't notice were it done right. [03:08] Beldar: can I use a server? [03:08] Nickd55345353, quieter [03:08] Nickd55345353, Post the actual issue in one post please. [03:09] svetlana when she had windows the sound was a little bit louder [03:09] meganerd, /mnt/M_Drive/sda2.img: data [03:09] WACOMalt: so that is not good, it means that it is not detecting a file system [03:09] I have tried adding to ~/,config/autostart, /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart, ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart. Nothing seems to happen. And I don't know where to get a log of this problem. [03:09] jeffreylevesque, Sure, however I would like to see a script run that outline a lot of info and you need a dektop to do it from. [03:09] daftykins, to get all the nitpicks of making sure ubuntu can access usb, etc. Versus a straight OS / server [03:09] WACOMalt: are you sure that you decompressed it? [03:09] this is odd. long ago I did this same procedure with the segmented img and it worked [03:09] Nickd55345353, then please give hardware details, someone would look into it for you. ask on one line. "with computer of this model the sound appears to be quieter than under another os on the same computer" [03:10] jeffreylevesque: you're doing it wrong if you want a server accessing USB [03:10] but I lost the merged img file [03:10] how do I watch netflix on ubuntu? [03:10] lol [03:10] this is stupid [03:10] !netflix [03:10] If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop [03:10] so Im trying to do it again [03:10] Nickd55345353, and don't address me in particular when you're doing that as such issue is out of my depth [03:10] is daftykins: on? [03:10] Guido1: yeah still floating around [03:10] ok [03:10] WACOMalt: so is this an image with a bunch of partitions, or just a single partition? [03:10] Beldar: what kind of script? [03:10] just a single partition === Rallias is now known as Not-Rallias [03:11] !bootinfo | jeffreylevesque [03:11] jeffreylevesque: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [03:11] I do have the whole backup from clonezilla still with each individual partition [03:11] daftykins: just checked another drive and i don't know how to interpret the results [03:11] thanks Daemoen [03:11] Guido1: ok, pastebin away [03:11] *daftykins [03:11] but no drive to pass it onto. hence why I'm trying to mount [03:12] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7871179/ [03:12] WACOMalt: I have to go, will be back in an hour or so. You want the single partition, not the whole drive. You might want to have a look at that image with ntfsinfo and ntfsfix [03:12] :/ [03:13] WACOMalt: what you want to do is doable, though NTFS is pretty fagile [03:13] yeah previously I used OSFMount on windows once it was combined to mount as a drive [03:13] now it's not working with this file, nor is linux [03:14] WACOMalt: was the windows partition encrypted (bitlocker, truecrypt)? [03:14] no [03:14] Guido1: perfectly fine that drive, nothing in ID's #1, #5, #7 or #199 [03:14] best practices on installing scipy, numpy, pandas, etc? [03:14] WACOMalt: have a look at that image with ntfsinfo, gotta run for real. [03:15] ok thanks [03:15] daftykins: is there somewhere a guide for interpreting the output? [03:15] Guido1: none that i know of, i've just accrued understanding over time and first-hand experience. i've seen a looooot of disks die :) === mcixxpkpphkcjqzm is now known as xxdhtypxymvnfyqo === xxdhtypxymvnfyqo is now known as sepero [03:16] ntfsinfo seems to only work on a device, this is an img file [03:17] daftykins: as you probaply saw, the disk is 530 h in use. it's part of a laptop i bought about a monthe ago [03:17] WACOMalt: -F file? [03:17] I did thaty [03:17] ntfsinfo -F /mnt/M_Drive/sda2.img [03:17] just prints the help [03:18] try --file file [03:18] jeffreylevesque, Any way to get that bootinfo script run? [03:18] same error daftykins You must specify exactly one device. [03:18] WACOMalt: heh, odd program then [03:19] daftykinsso is it also in a state in which it should be after one month of use? [03:19] ugh, if this drive backup is toast I'm gonna be pretty distraught [03:20] daftykins: so is it also in a state in which it should be after one month of use? [03:20] Guido1: yeah there's no sign of any issue with it, it's been powered on a lot of that month though :D [03:21] which linux flavor is the best/ [03:21] ? [03:21] ubuntu or suse?

[03:22] radiogenic, That is not even close to the topic, it is not a joke. [03:22] Beldar are you mad? [03:22] no [03:23] ok good [03:23] you seemed mad there [03:23] looks like a similar troll from a while back [03:23] radiogenic, I tried many distros but I thin the distinctions are artificial. They all come with the same software and great tools for development. -- Please idle for a few moments as people are thinking that you might be heading in a slightly wrong direction. [03:23] radiogenic, project your issue on another channel. [03:23] Beldar are you mad? === Hub is now known as Guest15621 [03:24] (i think Beldar is mad) [03:24] radiogenic: /msg. [03:24] svetlana: do not engage the trolls. [03:24] not everyone can be helped [03:25] daftykins: so is it also in a state in which it should be after one month of use? sorry for posting 3 times - conection to the chat failed [03:25] Guido1: yeah there's no sign of any issue with it, it's been powered on a lot of that month though :D [03:26] daftykins: it's the internal laptop drive [03:27] daftykins: okee, because by starting up it makes for the first one ore two minuts a scratchi sound [03:27] Hello - Is there a website that I can check to see if a Dell RAID card is compatible with Ubuntu 14.04? [03:27] and sometimes later [03:28] how safe is it to kill fsck [03:28] Guido1: yeah, all different brands and models have their own funny tendancies. i'm SSD in all my systems now [03:28] derrrrp: why what's up? process taking forever? [03:28] daftykins: yess... [03:28] daftykins: also, it's not writing to a text file like i wanted it to, :/ [03:29] err why would you try to do that? log output? [03:29] yeah [03:29] derrrrp: guess it depends how much you care for the data on the afflicted volume [03:29] fsck.ext4 -pvfc /dev/vg1000/lv >> ~/fsck.txt [03:30] daftykins: i mean , killing it half way, is it going to randomly write to my volume or something? [03:30] it's just a routine check [03:30] there's nothing wrong (yet) w/ my drive... [03:30] that's an interesting choice of switches for a routine run [03:30] well it's been around 2 years since i've last run any sort of fsck on this [03:30] just being cautious [03:31] hang on lemme check [03:32] derrrrp: it wasn't mounted, right? [03:32] daftykins: that is correct [03:33] daftykins: the general consensus so far that i've read, is that it *should* be safe to kill [03:33] http://serverfault.com/questions/57573/how-dangerous-is-it-to-interrupt-an-fsck [03:33] well, as i say - your data, your gamble :) [03:33] but better safe than sorry [03:33] can you at least see an activity light to tell if it's working or not? [03:33] it's working [03:33] daftykins: okee, I'm just a bit carful as data recovery can be expensive etc. === momma is now known as IPv4 [03:34] i see the proces running and a child process has spawned called: "badblocks -b 4096 -X /dev/vg1000/lv 1461583871" which is a little concerning lol [03:35] i'd say leave it overnight [03:35] daftykins: but then i won't know what's fixed :( it's not outputting to my txt file lol [03:35] daftykins: i tried killing it, but it doesn't seem to want to stop running [03:35] it would've done so to standard out [03:36] well if you ctrl+C'd, it may take some time to interrupt if it's going to exit gracefully [03:36] Beldar: thank you for your assistance today! I used boot-repair-disk after installation to reinstall grub. Now, I am able to choose which partition to load. Any chance I can choose Windows 7 to be the default one to boot, instead of Ubuntu? [03:36] daftykins: will i err, put a ampersand at the end of it, so it detached it from the terminal lol [03:37] derrrrp: @_@ [03:37] wait typically will fsck write to /var/log? [03:37] consider this an official slap on the wrist [03:37] jeffreylevesque, Yes but not my area of help really. [03:38] daftykins: i'm ssh'd into this box, so i didn't want the process to do weird things if i suspended my computer [03:38] i don't think it would... but better safe than sorry :x [03:38] is there anyway to reattach to that process? [03:38] derrrrp: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1323956/how-to-redirect-output-of-an-already-running-process [03:38] you can use gdb to modify it on-the-fly [03:39] jeffreylevesque: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Editing_the_File [03:39] derrrrp: you need to learn how to use screen my friend === bob__ is now known as origcalmchess [03:40] daftykins: yes i regret not setting that up before i started this :/ [03:40] but... remote fsck? honestly this whole tale is worrying [03:40] daftykins: i don't usually touch this box, and i've spent most of my time scraping through shoddy documentation [03:40] daftykins: there is no other way to do it, it's a synology nas box [03:40] jeffreylevesque, Since all you have is a terminal check this link go past the grub customizer to the terminal method. http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order [03:40] was that fsck even of your own volition or taken from online? [03:41] ooooh, not even ubuntu then. [03:41] daftykins: it's of my own volition lol [03:41] daftykins: yeah, it took me hours just to figure out how to umount that volume, beause it kept refusing to mount === richard is now known as Guest12884 [03:42] daftykins: i already tried running it w/ -n and it toook around 2 hours to finish, and it reported errors present [03:42] Beldar: i installed ubuntu desktop with my server. But, this link is very useful. Thank you! [03:42] daftykins: honestly my biggest fear is that running fsck will somehow mess up my raid / lvm [03:42] I wrote a init.d script from skeleton, and now when I do service foo start it doesn't return me to the command line (its running in the foreground?) How do I avoid that === Guest12884 is now known as OERIAS [03:43] I'm going to turn this OSX off now, and start working on my Ubuntu Server [03:43] thank you! [03:44] derrrrp: yeah your tale just keeps getting worse :S [03:44] Do you think Canonical will allow Ubuntu apps run in Android, much in a way how apps for FireFox OS run in Android? [03:44] love synology though \o/ [03:44] OERIAS: totally off topic for this channel, join #ubuntu-touch [03:45] daftkins: tell me something positive :O [03:45] daftykins: *^ [03:45] can't, can't support you either i'm afraid as that's not ubuntu [03:46] Off topic my ass! [03:46] OERIAS: it's not a matter of "Canonical allow", it's a matter of "will someone write an app to convert them [03:46] I don't see why Canonical or Ubuntu would be interested in doing so, so... [03:47] OERIAS: your posterior is indeed also off topic. [03:47] daftykins: http://cdn.alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/svg/rage-super-rage.svg [03:47] lol [03:47] this "this is offtopic" is annoyingly noisy :s [03:47] that's a nice scalable vector graphic [03:47] svetlana: you can either accept policy or go elsewhere [03:48] Let's calm down, folks :) [03:48] daftykins, indeed, I'm just trying to figure out what the questions were among a slightly unusual sort of things :s === IPv4 is now known as Liftbox [03:48] * svetlana nods [03:48] daftykins, I meant the previous message was joke. [03:48] I am sorry. [03:48] okay hypothetically if I were to have done this on ubuntu /w LVM and RAID what should I watch out for when using fsck... should i even be fscking my volumes? [03:49] derrrrp, no fsck unless needed really [03:49] i'm afraid i cannot assist with attempts to try and make a scenario applicable, fact is i would not have messed around with a synology NAS in such a way to begin with [03:49] I wrote a init.d script from skeleton, and now when I do service foo stop (I fixed start by adding --background) it doesn't return me to the command line (its running in the foreground?) How do I avoid that? [03:49] Beldar: i've read you should always check at least after 30 boots or 1000 hours (a year)? [03:49] nor does the service stop [03:50] Beldar: i haven't fsck'd this box... ever lol [03:50] derrrrp, that is old stuff, it was removed from ubuntu years ago. [03:50] Beldar: fsck was? .__.? [03:50] daftykins: there was a powerouttage and i am a bit ocd... [03:50] derrrrp, the every 30 boots [03:51] Beldar: 'o' === Liftbox is now known as alphabet [03:57] hola [03:57] Hola Fantasma. Como estais? [03:58] bueno estoy probando el chat de ubuntu [03:59] que recomendaciones me tienes en este chat [03:59] Sois de Mexico? Iberoamerica? [03:59] Este es un buen sala de chat, pero la mayoria hablan en Ingles. [03:59] si soy de mexico y tu [04:00] !mx [04:01] hm [04:01] !es [04:01] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [04:02] Soy de España [04:02] ok gracias pero no nesesito ayuda por el momento solo quiero probar el chat gracias jajajajaja [04:04] no q chidon de la madre patria segun esto [04:05] fantasma: Please speak only English here. For chat and help in Spanish, see #ubuntu-es. [04:06] (for non-support chat in English, see #ubuntu-offtopic) [04:06] cups-browsed and cups-daemon need to be destroyed before hitting Ubuntu by default. After upgrading some packages it makes it impossible to stop them and uninstall them, so annoying. [04:06] a port open is a port exploit just waiting to happen, and cups-browsed and cups-daemon open up. [04:07] 'tis not good [04:07] Agreed. [04:07] you see someone agrees with me that means I'm right [04:07] this isn't the place to raise disagreeances [04:08] nobody here is an employee that goes into the office Monday morning and says "hey guys look what was said on IRC this weekend" [04:08] * copernicus apologizes, does a backflip and claps his hands [04:08] feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic though [04:08] http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsuperuser.com%2Fquestions%2F82488%2Fwhy-is-it-bad-to-have-open-ports&ei=FnvUU5SDOZa3yASviIHYCA&usg=AFQjCNHvtCuGr4x-ZpEiCf7Ups_pM3uD_g&bvm=bv.71778758,d.aWw [04:09] where do I send this very valuable information to help future releases of Ubuntu? :( [04:09] not a clue [04:09] awesomess3, to apple that's the owner/maintainer of cups [04:10] * awesomess3 sighs [04:10] Sorry if I was being a bother daftykins [04:10] I was just chiming in [04:10] awesomess3, and cups is also used in mac os obviously [04:12] anti-virus or virus scanner for linux? [04:12] oddly enough this question is from my girlfriend [04:13] ubottu: virus [04:13] 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 [04:13] Macs don't get virus. [04:14] Brilliant. Thanks. I had to prove that point to her, and a bot did it for me. [04:14] OERIAS: again, not relevant to here. [04:15] I'm sorry, was joking here again. In seriousness, I recommend a firewall [04:16] Especially if the computer will be networked with Windows based PCs. [04:16] ubottu: ufw [04:16] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [04:16] Brilliant! [04:18] test [04:18] hi [04:18] Just doing a /whois [04:19] Hmm [04:19] How do you do a /whois [04:19] in your status window, "/whois user" [04:19] Status window? [04:19] however, this is not the place to ask [04:19] (Sorry, first IRC ever) [04:20] AH [04:20] So [04:20] join #freenode for more help, by typing "/join #freenode" [04:20] Where should i go to ask [04:20] Ah [04:20] Thank you [04:20] I'm a bug reporting pro, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1349051 [04:20] Ubuntu bug 1349051 in cups (Ubuntu) "Cannot stop cups-daemon, cups-browsed servers after upgrading certain packages 14.04" [Undecided,New] [04:21] Ah. [04:21] awesomess3: are you sure it's not because it's actually "sudo service cupsd stop" ? [04:21] Can anyone chat me my host? [04:22] daftykins, I'm 95% sure that's the same thing [04:22] awesomess3: fair enough, not seen it done without service [04:22] WalleWalle2002: that question doesn't make sense, can you rephrase?

Latex is kind of a pita until you're used to it.

[04:45] Installed - and after that uninstalled - Cairo Dock. I also did an "autoremove" which messed up something. My DE is not working as supposed to. The issue's I've encountered are the following: My 3-monitor setup stopped working. [I "fixed" this by redoing everything in Nvidia-settings.] Whenever I do not focus on an application it goes black and I have to resize the window in order for it to re-appear. [Still [04:45] not solved.] My mouse cursor turned larger. [Still not solved.] [04:45] why is the LyX editor 716mb? [04:45] I've reinstalled Cinnamon, but the problem appears in Unity as well so it ought not to be a DE-problem. [04:47] was there a question? [04:47] GLaDER: is this Mint? [04:47] daftykins: No, it's Ubuntu running Cinnamon on top. [04:47] can I disable ssh access to a server over the internet? i.e. I only want to be able to ssh over LAN. [04:48] john2x: it won't be available over the internet unless the port is forwarded on your router [04:48] I come seeking assistance with GRUB. I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed on one SSD and Windows 8 installed on another. Windows was installed first. When i installed Ubuntu, i chose to encrypt the disk in which it was being installed. This seems to have locked my Windows partition as well, however, and disables me from booting into Win. Now, i mistakenly tried repairing my MBR on the Windows SSD using Boot Repair. That made it so i can't even not [04:48] john2x: assuming you have a NAT router providing the internet connection [04:48] I'm trying to setup a DNS server on my ubuntu box using bind9 and have got it working, but am having an issue with the very last step. I'm unable to type in 'ping router' or similar on my windows clients and have it work. I have to do 'ping router.home.local'. Can anyone help please? [04:48] I have a late 2009 Macbook. Is it possible to install Ubuntu as the sole OS and use it natively [04:48] without compatibility issues [04:48] ? [04:48] edition, sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install lyx [04:48] Excuse my poor capitalization please, as I am using a mobile device. 😃 [04:49] daftykins: ah ok. so it's the other way around? I need to set it up to allow internet access? [04:49] john2x: correct [04:49] Anurizm: No. I have the same computer (I think, a 6.1) and I experienced that the computer was to slow and also I had some issues with the track pad. [04:49] daftykins: got it. thanks [04:49] Anurizm: As far as I remember, one had to install a version < 10.X [04:50] RainMan28: sounds like you need to add a dns-search entry to your config to always try ".home.local" addresses, i think that's right - i can't explain it any clearer than that though sadly [04:50] john2x, are you using a firewall? [04:50] daftykins: on the ubuntu side or on the windows side? thank you [04:51] GLaDER It's not like the hardware isn't good enough; a comparable PC with the same hardware would run Ubuntu just fine [04:51] RainMan28: any client of your server i should think [04:51] ok, thanks [04:51] What is it about the Macbook that makes Ubuntu so difficult to run properly? [04:51] Anurizm: beyond not being intended to run anything beyond OS X you mean? [04:51] Anurizm, drivers [04:51] That's disappointing [04:51] crumpe: no firewall yet.. it's newly setup, just playing around with an old pc.. do I need a firewall even if internet access isn't setup? [04:52] Anurizm: Apple being dicks is the short short version [04:52] Anyone able to help with my boot issues? [04:52] WACOMalt: you still here? [04:52] Anurizm: It's called LOCK IN! It's how Apple tries to keep money flowing into their coffers. [04:52] john2x, no not really [04:52] When dealing with Samba Shares what should the unix permissions be on my directories? [04:52] I noticed Ubuntu has a "64 bit Mac" version. Would that work maybe? [04:53] crumpe: i mean the machine itself *is* connected to the internet, but port forwarding isn't setup. [04:53] odds, in your large message it was cut off at: "That made it so i can't even no" [04:53] Hey all. Has anyone else had problems with amd drivers in 14.04. For some reason gpumanager keeps overwriting my xorg.conf file at boot unless I add nogpumanager in grub.cfg [04:53] Anurizm: maybe worth a shot. I have not tried it since I have been Apple free for 7 years now. [04:53] also, everyone says "ubuntu is great for developers". just curious, what can a dev do on Ubuntu that he/she couldn't do on a Mac? [04:54] Anurizm: But MAC is a Linux kernel no less........ [04:54] developing on Ubuntu is not easy from a Windows perspective... [04:54] Anurizm: that is the wrong question, you can use plan9 and do just about everything that you can on a MAc [04:54] Jeffrey_f, Mac OS X is not Linux [04:54] Why use Ubuntu in the first place if [04:54] Awesomess3: can't boot into either Windows or Ubuntu, [04:54] Anurizm, the kernel ABI is obviously different. [04:54] edition: sure it is, notepad++ plus access to a windows build server [04:55] It is based on BSD/Mach underpinnings. [04:55] then if I start compiz the ui crashes. If I boot without nogpumanager amdccle does not see one of my graphics cards. Its really weird [04:55] john2x, what's the IP? [04:55] Anurizm: I use Linux because I can get it to do what I want. Mac and Windows are constantly getting in my way. [04:55] OERIAS: XNU kernel, which is a mix of the mach microkernel and the BSD monolithic kernel. At least it was. The file system bears a very similar structure to Linux [04:56] Anurizm: you may not care or have the same problems. So maybe Linux is not for you, only you know the answer to that. [04:56] awesomess3, my Ubuntu drive is encrypted. I know the passphrase, i just need to learn how to mount it from within a Live CD environment. [04:56] Anurizm: for me, it is the platform I reach for first when I need to get real work done. [04:56] But why? Can't OS X do everything? [04:56] Anurizm: no [04:57] Anurizm: I am a sysadmin working on a dev team. OS X would be next to useless to me (Windows dev team) [04:57] How do I know which version av X i'm running? I figured I'd re-install it to see if I had some luck. [04:57] john2x, if you enable ssh you have to use a firewall to drop all packets outside the lan address unless you have a router [04:57] Meganerd: what kind of work? [04:58] When doing "apt-get install xserver" I was prompted to specify. [04:58] odds, on the desktop is there no devices that you can right-click and "mount" in your Live CD environment? [04:58] Anurizm: I rely on libvirt, git, browsers, ssh, ddrescue, tcpdump and occasionally wireshark, aiccu (ipv6 tunnels), iptables, and support for a host of languages and tools [04:58] john2x, is a vlan an option? [04:58] I'm not trying to challenge you but I'm just curious. I honestly want to know what Ubuntu has that Mac doesn't [04:59] Anurizm: in short most of what I want *could* be done on OSX, but it would be a pain to get installed and kept up to date. [04:59] meganerd: that's funny we have sysadmins who run macs and devs who runs macs in a mostly windows environment. No problems at all. I prefer linux myself but you can get the job done with any tools if you know how to use them right [04:59] awesomess3, unfortunately not. Venturing a few steps in the install process shows my sdb but it days unknown for partition type prolly because it's encrypted. [04:59] Anurizm, the ability to migrate hardware on a dime [04:59] Anurizm: I can turn my laptop into a server and a router in about 5 minutes, good luck with that on OS X or Windows [05:00] crumpe: yes, I have a router (it's a router/modem). Hmm I'd rather not mess around with vlan.. [05:00] stainedhat: I did not say that you could not get the job done, I have better tools available to me on Linux that make me enjoy working a lot more [05:00] I would use OSX If I didn't need a certain hardware [05:00] So far, the only advantage I know is the ability to seamlessly run a server [05:01] No doubt that Linux is the best for servers [05:01] but besides that? [05:01] I guess what you're trying to say is that developer tools are much more native on Linux? [05:01] Anurizm: debugging, troubleshooting, there is really so much going on when you have a platform made by developers *for* developers [05:02] meganerd, and Sys Admin [05:02] Anurizm: tough to give you a soundbite, basically in 20 years, Linux is the platform I now reach for first when I need to get something done. Even my hobby of high end audio. [05:02] meganerd: I agree with you, i'd rather be sitting at a bash terminal and write my tools in python but I think people adapt to what they use. One of our syseng guys is mac only and he's pretty much a powerhouse. [05:03] I'm seriously considering selling my Macbook and getting a PC just so I can run Linux. I'm tired of OS X [05:03] stainedhat: maybe, I have not been terribly impressed with the last guy who claimed to be a devops but could not figure out git on his MacBook air. [05:03] stainedhat: the platform does not make the man [05:03] stainedhat: so I agree with you [05:03] Meganerd: couldn't agree more there [05:04] stackofcats, he uses mac as his workstation which i agree mac is a great workstation [05:04] crumpe: not for me it isn't [05:04] Anurizm: Google Bootcamp and Ubuntu [05:04] crumpe: I usually recommend that people use what they know, and more importantly what those around them know [05:04] you guys use Android right? I doubt anyone here uses iOS :p [05:05] Anurizm: begrudginly android [05:05] Anurizm: why are you tired of OS X? I think Linux is more "tiring" (wifi setup, printer setup, trackpad, video cards) [05:05] megabit|away, they must be windows admin [05:06] john2x: on the right hardware it is fine. I am sitting in front of an Intel NUC that worked out of the box. The same with my Lenovo laptop. [05:06] One can ALWAYS run a Windows in VirtualBox [05:06] Jeffrey_f: you mean a KVM VM :) [05:06] personally I'm lost on a mac. I can do anything and everything I need on linux and can utilize powershell enough to do anything I need to in a windows environment but on a mac i'd be lucky to get a nic configured haha [05:06] well I'm learning how to code and networking stuff. I heard linux is a good choice [05:06] Linux is great. Some times you can go months without working sound and periodically things which worked for years just stop. [05:06] it's lovely to see you all contributing to conversation, unfortunately this channel is for support questions regarding ubuntu only... so if you could all take the conversation over to #ubuntu-offtopic you may continue it freely.

I'm happy :> [05:07] meganerd: no, right in Linux..... [05:07] anurizm: on android right now :) [05:07] daftykins, copy that [05:07] going to bed anyway, before I anger the OT gods [05:07] Is there a way to re-install Ubuntu that does not interfer with your current setup of Grub? [05:08] Why I can't purge this ppa? [05:08] sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing [05:08] Updating packages lists [05:08] PPA to be removed: ubuntu-audio-dev pulse-testing [05:08] Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-audio-dev pulse-testing [05:08] if an ultrabook with similar specs + price to the Macbook Air and with no hardware compatibility issues comes out, I'd switch in a heartbeat. [05:08] try without the /pulse-testing [05:08] go ahead daftykins [05:08] john2x: enough now thanks [05:09] daftykins: ok [05:09] crumpe: what with? [05:09] oops sorry got carried away [05:09] the question about re installing ubuntu without overwriting the mbr [05:10] crumpe: Yes [05:10] john2x: https://system76.com/ [05:10] GLaDER, Yes but can you share why, you want to be able to boot the install the old grub may not do that. [05:10] crumpe: i respond to questions as i choose, thanks. [05:10] hi, after recent update my laptop doesn't suspend when lid is closed. Damn it, they've fixed xfce4-power-manager [05:11] Beldar: As said earlier I've messed up something - badly - and since I'm dual booting I thought I wouldn't want to mess w/ Grub. [05:11] sorry wrong channel [05:11] Beldar: But maybe that's not a problem anyawy. [05:11] Crumpe: what about an advanced install and just selecting the one partition you want to install at? Or do you not want grub to reread the sytem and create a new grub.cfg file? [05:11] PPA to be removed: ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [05:12] Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [05:12] ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [05:12] GLaDER, grub is in the install and the mbr or a efi partition, so the new install's grub will differ. [05:12] GLaDER, are you sure you just don't need to rediscover your partitions? [05:12] Oh sorry that last msg was for glader [05:12] daftykins: same error when running sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [05:13] Beldar: Okay. I just have to redo it all. I uninstalled Cairo-Dock and did an autoremove which caused my (I think) xserver to brake. I don't know how to fix it so I figure I just have to reinstall. [05:13] reversiblean: ok, i don't know it well enough to be 100% sure on notation - nor do i know the one you mention, so i'd look it up i guess. not sure if the !ppa-purge bot trigger in here would provide some help, possibly... [05:13] !ppa-purge [05:13] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [05:14] hmm, did seem right - maybe something's just a little wrong [05:14] GLaDER, Have you gone to the login window and tried whatever other desktops you have installed? [05:14] GLaDER, do you still have network connection in console? [05:14] Beldar: Yup. Cinnamon, nor Unity, works. [05:15] crumpe: Yes. It's only the DE that's messed upo. [05:15] GLaDER, What ubuntu release is this? [05:15] Beldar: 14.04 (the latest) [05:15] GLaDER, cool Beldar can fix this for you [05:15] Anyway, so I looked through the changelog for 14.04.1 and there is no fix for the gpumanager issues. Anyone havr a workaround besides commenting out the start on line from gpumanagers init script or using nogpumanager at boot? === jeffrey_ is now known as jeffreylevesque [05:16] draftykins, ubottu: $sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing for https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/pulse-testing ?? [05:16] crumpe, Not sure I can removing cairo would not cause this. [05:16] something else is amiss [05:16] Beldar, just need to look at the x log [05:16] that command does not work. [05:17] I am trying to install 'ffmpeg' it says "Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:17] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [05:17] is only available from another source" [05:17] dang [05:17] ffmpeg got replaced by um, avconv? [05:17] !ffmpeg [05:18] Beldar: I did uninstall Cairo Dock, and I did an autoremove. Everything worked fine 'til I restarted the computer. This caused two out of three screens to go black, my cursor to act weird and applications not in focus to black out. [05:18] !avconv [05:18] daftykins: do I have to change my bash script to conform to avconv syntax? [05:18] GLaDER, neither should cause what you describe. [05:19] GLaDER, are those screens physical? [05:19] daftykins: what if i use a ppa - http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-ffmpeg-2-2-0-on-ubuntu-14-04-ubuntu-13-10-ubuntu-12-10-linux-mint-16-and-linux-mint-14/? [05:19] jeffreylevesque: PPAs are bad [05:19] is using a PPA bad practice? [05:19] yep [05:19] why? [05:19] !ppa [05:19] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [05:19] ^ [05:20] Beldar: This is getting weired and weirder :( [05:20] crumpe: They are idd. [05:20] daftykins: why did ubuntu consider ffmpeg obsolete? [05:20] GLaDER, idd? [05:20] crumpe: Indeed [05:21] GLaDER, that explains it [05:21] Beldar, can help you resolve this [05:21] Beldar: Just discoverd something else. On the screen that holds the menubar, things seems more stable. I opened Chromium on it and it appears normal but when I drag it to another screen it goes black. [05:21] jeffreylevesque: i'm no Canonical historian nor employee so i have no information on that [05:21] GLaDER, unity? [05:22] Beldar: Cinnamon [05:22] jeffreylevesque: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/223855 [05:22] Beldar: I can switch though, but it doesn't seem to help. [05:22] GLaDER, That us a ppa and not supported. [05:22] is* [05:23] GLaDER, cinnamon is not in the 14.04 ubuntu repos. [05:23] Does anybody use Ubuntu without the `universe`? And is universe actually LTS? [05:23] Beldar: Okay. It's been working fine since I got it thought. Still, I switched to Unity now but there are still issues. [05:24] GLaDER, and the issues in unity are? === OERIAS is now known as SeanCody [05:24] Beldar: it sucks [05:25] Ok well I'm off to troubleshoot some amd/gpumanager issues. Later #ubuntu [05:25] zubir, real helpful. [05:26] zubir, there are about 50 de choices, I don'y use unity myself this is just support. [05:26] Beldar: I tried opening Chromium. The application goes black and freezes. This is the same for all applications that I use on any other screen except the one considered :0 [05:26] Beldar: no problemo [05:27] Beldar: Though, "terminal" seems to work just fine on either monitor. [05:27] GLaDER, start pastebin ing the log files [05:27] GLaDER, try this sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [05:27] daftykins: I usually find ubuntu to be slow or poor with their packages [05:28] sometimes they are really old [05:28] might just need a reset [05:28] Have you tried to "sudo apt-get update" in terminal? [05:28] it'll download new repositories [05:28] jeffreylevesque: you could join the packaging team [05:28] deimos: thank you. I recorded your link on my issue - https://github.com/jeff1evesque/audio-analyzer/issues/355 [05:28] Beldar: Done. [05:29] Beldar: I guess I should restart X? [05:29] Hello i want to ask how to tell my computer to not to suspend while downloading some stuff in browser or torren one, and while watching films in players like vlc and youtube, or others players in browser? [05:29] compiling libdvdcss didn't work. [05:29] Dominik: power option from system settings should have what you need [05:29] the problem seems to be the config. GLaDER did you re-install docker? [05:30] not/ there is only options for suspending after xxx while acc and batery [05:30] dominik: i think you want the screen not to turn off & lock, right? [05:31] crumpe: That's a negative. [05:31] dominik: settings > brightness & lock [05:31] ill try:) [05:31] GLaDER, that was the last change you made before it broke? [05:32] GLaDER, Did anything reinstall? [05:32] yeah but i want to do that only in some particular events [05:32] is it possible? [05:33] crumpe: I thougt it was doing the "autoremove" thing. [05:33] Beldar: Yes, but where do I find the log so I can see what it was. I rebooted X afterwards. [05:34] hey guys when i was setting up my ubuntu server it gave me an option to install some kind of dns server, do you guys have any idea what it was? [05:34] do it is possible? to set some exeptions ? [05:34] GLaDER, Not sure there it said what is was in the terminal. Is unity working now? [05:35] jakesyl, you don't need it [05:35] Beldar: No, I have the same issue with for instance Chromium. [05:35] crumpe, i just need to know the name of it, and yes i do i'm setting up a web server [05:35] GLaDER, The screen issue? [05:36] it's an option for intsall [05:36] time to shut down this awesome ubuntu server 14.04 [05:36] jakesyl, you don't need it use your modems dns servers [05:36] good night gentlemen [05:36] Beldar: Any application runing on any other screen except :0 will go black and unresponsive. [05:37] crumpe, do you know the name or not, i'm just doing some experimentation, i think it was opendns? [05:37] This is the install log for ubuntu-desktop I just ran. http://pastebin.com/DiDL2TTi [05:37] you know what i'll just start a virtual machine and find out [05:37] Glader what kind if graphics card(s) do you have? [05:37] GLaDER, Are you running proprietary graphic drivers straight from the cards manufacturer? We had a kernel upgrade in the last day or so, these will not follow a upgrade. [05:37] stainedhat: 2xGTX 580 [05:38] jakesyl, not sure about ubuntu but other distro have a log of packages you can search [05:38] Did you note which packages were autoremoved? === ganesh is now known as Guest82677 [05:39] stainedhat, autoremove does not remove installed packages [05:39] stainedhat: No :( [05:39] bind9 thanks anyway! [05:39] Beldar: It did remove Wine for me. [05:39] GLaDER, Are you running proprietary graphic drivers straight from the cards manufacturer? We had a kernel upgrade in the last day or so, these will not follow a upgrade. [05:39] dominik: i don't think there's a feature, maybe some program does it already? if you get the command for the terminal to turn it off, you could write a little cronjob that checks if vlc is running and sets it off before it shuts the screen off.. [05:39] Beldar: I'm using 304.123 from Nvidia 304 (Open Source). [05:40] GLaDER, did you install another package that replaces cairo-dock? [05:40] crumpe: Nope. [05:40] GLaDER, I would reboot and try an early kernel as a test. [05:40] Beldar: How do I do that? [05:40] tkats sound complicated;/ i wanted to make it same as windowsfeature [05:41] Glader advanced options at the grub menu should give you options to boot previous kernals I think [05:41] GLaDER, In the grub menu taping the shift at the reboot or power on to get it to show if it does not automatically. [05:41] *kernels [05:41] GLaDER, I'd like to look at the logs [05:41] Beldar: Okay. I need to fetch some laundry and a laptop, I'll check asap. [05:42] crumpe: Just let me know what you want to see. I'll be back in 5. [05:42] GLaDER, Anyway we have to many hands in the help here, I have to take off for a few, hope you get it resolved. [05:42] hola [05:42] hola [05:43] does ubuntu have syscong yet? [05:43] sysconfig [05:43] que ases [05:43] sysconfig [05:43] dominik, VLC already prevents suspend or even dimming of display while it is playing. Does it not do that for you? [05:43] hello marcos__ [05:46] Beldar: Okay. Hopefully it'll be solved by the time you get back. [05:48] Testing color codes [05:50] hey guys, do you know how I can get apt-get to automatically choose apache's newer config file over my current one?

[06:24] hello, Im testing out ajax queries and Im getting the error "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function main.js:22 showRequest main.js:22 (anonymous function) main.js:9 n.event.dispatch jquery.js:3 r.handle". Heres the js file: http://pastie.org/9424081 what am i doing wrong? [06:25] Etale: did you get the ip addresses? [06:26] Hi eeee . I can type "ip addr" in another laptop. I'm not sure what you meant before about adjusting various things on the edit connections... [06:27] Should I be tampering with the "device mac address" and "cloned mac address"? [06:27] no [06:28] Etale, is your network manager running? $> sudo service network-manager status === eric is now known as Guest68792 [06:28] Yes. [06:28] Etale: you want to change the IPv4 settings, change automatic to manual [06:29] Okay. [06:29] and select an ip address other than the one on the other machine, same gateway and dns and subnet [06:29] hello,is there any way to reduce the size of a file?ty [06:30] Nickd55345353: like compress it? [06:30] well [06:30] i have mp3 but they are big in size [06:30] eeee, I don't know exactly what of the things in the output of "ip addr" are these things. (I ran "ip addr" in a different laptop on the same network. I assume that's what you meant.) [06:30] and i wanted to reduce their size [06:31] Can I just choose 8.8.8.8 as my dns? [06:31] Nickd55345353: you can't compress mp3, it's already compressed up the wazoo, sorry... [06:31] ok thanks [06:32] Etale: yeah i think so [06:33] And what about the "address"? Should it be what appears after "inet" under "wlan0" when I type "ifconfig" in another computer on the same network? I'm really confused about this. In particular I'm confused because it's a wired connection, and the "inet" refers to "wlan0" in the other laptop. [06:33] And about what this gateway? Argh... [06:33] *what about [06:34] do you have a GUI in the other laptop? [06:35] eeee, sure... You mean wicd or nm-applet? [06:35] hello, Im testing out ajax queries and Im getting the error "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function main.js:22 showRequest main.js:22 (anonymous function) main.js:9 n.event.dispatch jquery.js:3 r.handle". Heres the js file: http://pastie.org/9424081 what am i doing wrong? [06:35] I'm currently using wicd, but I can switch... [06:35] Etale: click on the network icon, if it's network manager, and select connection information [06:36] I'm using wicd right now. There's an ip there. I don't see gateway or netmask... === magic_ is now known as magic [06:37] type this nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4 [06:37] Oh man. I'm so sorry. [06:37] the ip after gw is the gateway [06:38] I just finally wanted to apologize for causing such chaos in here, all those years. (2 years, ew). === magic_ is now known as magic [06:39] Okay, eeee . I'll have to disconnect for a bit to try all of this. [06:39] Disconnecting now. [06:39] and to any staff member reading this (most importantly elky) I'm so sorry for the things I said to you (like, "choke on my dick"). You probably do suck irl, but telling you so wasn't very nice. [06:39] My mom said "you can be whatever you want" and I became an asshole. [06:39] No more asshole. [06:40] ./Confession over. I have been blessed, and I am renewed. [06:40] Thank you, Kanye. === brandon is now known as bulletrulz [06:48] hi all :) === amir_ is now known as Guest22473 [06:52] hey does anyone know how to get a static ip in ubuntu [06:53] hello i have burnibng problem. Deb conf stucked and i can not instal/uninstall stuff. [06:53] i wanted to uninstall gdebi [06:53] and debconf stuck whatever i want to do [06:59] hi [06:59] helmut_: hi [07:02] cansomeone interpetate bugsplat while installing? [07:02] Guys - question the zlib 1.2.8 is still the fastest version to use? Is any of you aware of a patched/faster version? [07:02] http://pastebin.com/2u5y4KR7 [07:11] any good mp3 player better than rhythmbox? [07:12] hi all [07:12] I'm trying to setup Android Studio on ubuntu 13.10, and I get a message that OpenJDK shows intermittent performance and they recomment using Oracle JRE/JDK. How can I replace openJDK with oracle JDK? [07:13] napster, 13.10 is eol, you need to upgrade to 14.04 [07:13] do can some interpretate mine bugsplat ? http://pastebin.com/2u5y4KR7 [07:13] hmm, I though it is supported at least an year. [07:13] nope [07:13] 14.04 is an LTS am I right? [07:14] i see that this is java installer but earlier it failed and now in software center i wanted to install fie zilla, but i have debconf stucked and nothing more;/ [07:14] Also: Oracle JDK isn't officially supported, because its license doesn't allow redistribution by Ubuntu. [07:14] which I guess applies to both of you [07:14] 14.04 = LTS; 14.04.1 != LTS ? [07:15] xpand, there are a lot of options you might try some to find what you like. [07:15] !14.04 [07:15] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [07:16] do can some interpretate mine bugsplat ? http://pastebin.com/2u5y4KR7 [07:16] hold on dominik, I'm looking [07:16] dominik: I don't understand that sentence. === conf is now known as laraza111 [07:17] hmmm... sth make stuck debconf. i have grey windows and nothing happens. [07:17] suspend doesn't work on my HP laptop in XUbuntu [07:17] uman he has an error log that's confusing [07:18] i think thats because of : gdebi or previous failed install java 7 from ppa [07:18] copernicus: I see. [07:21] i am not familiar with ubuntu i am new, but that was wrtiten in this bugsplat : thats new : http://pastebin.com/brjGv631 [07:22] dominik, have you retried the download? [07:22] i do not know why but i think that after previous failed install of java 8 from ppa , ubuntu try to download and install it in loop. Do someone can tell me how to end this madness? [07:23] Upgrade question: can I upgrade 12.04 > 14.04 directly from the 14.04 .ISO or must I make a USB for a clean installation? [07:23] yeah many times, no amtter if i want do delete program in software center or install new, its stucing and showing that log [07:26] cfhowlett, You can boot the iso with grub and see if it has that upgrade. [07:26] dominik:http://askubuntu.com/questions/121226/how-to-completely-remove-a-oracle-jdk-that-didnt-install-properly [07:26] ok as u see : http://pl.tinypic.com/r/33be51i/8 i was right, but how to erease it from there [07:27] dominik: you may also need to reboot [07:27] Beldar hmm. have a link to a tutorial for that? [07:27] ok i am going to check it:) [07:27] cfhowlett, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [07:28] Beldar that you! [07:28] no prob [07:29] I LOVE U GUYS:) BIG BOTTLE OF WINE FOR U!!:) [07:30] oh thanks [07:30] * copernicus chugs a bottle of wine [07:30] seriously though, you're welcome. [07:35] can linux malware affect android devices?ty [07:36] can I make rhythmbox download podcasts automatically? How do I do this? [07:36] ubuntu/rhythmbox [07:37] Akiva-Thinkpad, this your 14.10 setup? [07:37] no; just in general [07:37] I am an ignoramous when it comes to subscribing to podcasts or whatever [07:38] I am just tired of using youtube-dl [07:39] Akiva-Thinkpad, can you post lsb_release -a [07:39] Banshee will download stuff auto [07:40] copernicus, oh neat. Do I give it an rss feed? or is that for domething different? [07:40] Nickd55345353, linux malware? [07:41] Beldar, that is strange.... my lsb_release says 15.04 [07:41] * Akiva-Thinkpad heads to #ubuntu+2 [07:41] Akiva-Thinkpad: nah man, totally different monster [07:42] Akiva-Thinkpad, You have been abusing this channel this is release you know where the development channel is we spoke there today. [07:42] Nickd55345353 never heard of such but ask #android [07:42] it automatically downloads new episodes of podcasts you have [07:42] yes beldar [07:42] they are 600 malware for linux [07:42] Beldar, this is an issue I have in 14.04. [07:43] Nickd55345353, right never seen one, root kits are another matter. [07:43] Akiva-Thinkpad: http://banshee.fm/download/ [07:43] copernicus, thanks. [07:43] Akiva-Thinkpad: I think Beldar just wants you to kind of keep the discussion on the topic [07:44] There are other channels for other things. [07:44] But yeah, glad I could help. [07:44] copernicus, no to use the correct channels for the OS running [07:44] deceptive answers are a red flag [07:45] * copernicus is confused === eric is now known as Guest25384 [07:45] * cjhanks Is copernicus [07:45] * copernicus hurt itself in its confusion! [07:46] With all due respect, I would understand the objection if the question was specific to 14.10. Asking how to download or subscribe to podcasts on ubuntu is so general and across the board... that I think it is irrational and frustrating to bother asking what release one is using. [07:47] Akiva-Thinkpad, what the sha1sum of your master boot record? [07:47] >_< [07:47] Beldar is a good guy though; I know he is trying to keep the riff raff out [07:50] why does debian livecd preform better than ubuntu livecd on a notebook? [07:51] rocko2_, define, "Preform Better". [07:51] like the moving of windows acts all messed up [07:51] rocko2_ it just does ( according to you). now if you have an actual UBUNTU support question that we can solve - give the details [07:51] lol [07:52] rocko2_, what is Debian's live cd environment? [07:52] lubuntu also does seem to detect wifi like in debian lxde live cd [07:52] cfhowlett, I would love to see you in customer service. [07:52] ha ha [07:53] hola gente de xubuntu [07:53] saludos a todos [07:53] !es | jacomosi [07:53] jacomosi: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [07:53] !cookie [07:53] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [07:53] how do i start and stop services in ubuntu 14.04 (like squid, for example)? [07:53] cfhowlett, beat me to the punch :P [07:53] cant find it in /etc/init.d/ [07:53] rocko2_, Are you talking about Debian GNOME being more performent than the Ubuntu counterpart? [07:54] pa: look in /etc/init and read the documentation on Upstart, that is currently Ubuntu's init system. [07:54] until systemd [07:55] cjhanks, to that question, and please excuse my ignorance, but would "Gnome System Monitor" ever be a legitimate answer to that question? [07:55] and rc.local sometimes [07:55] what is so funny? [07:55] no cjhanks [07:55] rocko2_, You should answer the questions we asked you :P [07:55] lubuntu and debian lxde livecd comparison [07:56] upstart is horrible, omg!!! [07:56] unity ubuntu acts messed up too [07:56] at least before bash completion helped in finding what to invoke [07:56] now what if one does not know the name of the service?? [07:56] rocko2_, How so? [07:57] rocko2_, debian tends to be lighter than *buntu's in general hence "better performance" [07:57] it is slow [07:57] i hate when self proclaimed software designer screw up life for others [07:57] rocko2_ lubuntu is not lxde/debian. unfair and invalid comparison. as far as unity: it's a hungry beast. lubuntu and xubuntu typically run better because they are less demanding [07:57] Akiva-Thinkpad, Gnome System monitor does give an easy high-level view into system status, It is probably useful for people to loo at. [07:58] pa: restart shows you nothing? [07:58] Or status, start, stop. [07:58] rocko2_, So one thing you have to realize, is that reading from a live cd is very slow, and Unity has a large memory footprint due to its aesthetic and advanced features. [07:58] i googled and found "service nameservice start/stop/restart" [07:58] rocko2_, so it will naturally take "Longer" to do things in that regard. Usually though after you install the system, performance differences are negligable. === ubuntu is now known as Guest13496 [07:59] cjhanks, thanks for answering that for me. [07:59] so which should I install debian or ubuntu? [07:59] thinking debian [08:00] rocko2_ go for it. be happy. [08:00] rocko2_, Ubuntu, if you want a advanced desktop environment. [08:00] I am not sure how Debian's version of Unity is, whether it is stable. [08:00] rocko2_, try all and decide what youre happiest with [08:00] hello, i'm having trouble with bind 9 when i run sudo service bind9 reload i get a reload failed;unexpected token error [08:01] UN EXPECTED!? [08:01] But Unity is awesome; its hud allows you to run menu commands from just search. No other desktop allows that without some hackjob [08:02] i'm following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuVNclBfykw [08:02] Akiva-Thinkpad, but you need to know the app name usually to do that [08:02] cynicallemon, You are talking about the dash [08:02] cynicallemon, I am talking about the hud [08:02] big difference. [08:02] so what is rndc.key [08:02] jakesyl, Have you seen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto [08:03] Akiva-Thinkpad, yep sorry wasnt thinking right there :) [08:03] and even so; the dash will find apps with tags. You don't need to type in "Nautilus" to find the file manager. [08:03] cynicallemon, :) [08:03] cjhanks that's what the video was based off of, and yes [08:03] An unexpected token error is almost certainly in your config file, have you modified your config? [08:04] Akiva-Thinkpad, I can't remember ever not knowing where a while was. [08:04] file* [08:05] lol; I was confused [08:05] one thing that has been bugging me about ubuntu as of late, is its file search. I am glad Nautilus is being dropped; I feel as if it is just becoming worse and worse [08:05] So cjhanks any ideas? [08:06] ~ubuntu, Nautilus has been bugging me. [08:06] jakesyl_mobile, My advice is to mentally scan the config file. Perhaps a missing quote, or semi-colon. [08:06] cjhanks, any chance it's a wrong ip? [08:07] jakesyl, question - why are you bind9? [08:07] jakesyl, question - why are you running bind9? === icecube45 is now known as icecube45[Away] [08:09] cynicallemon i'm just trying to get a static ip [08:09] i tried just configuring but i couldn't get rid of this one dhcp file because it was virtualized or something [08:11] well cynicallemon i'm going to remove bind9 and try to do a regular static ip, can you help with that at all? [08:12] jakesyl, not sure why u need bind9 for a static ip - bind is for DNS [08:13] okay so how do i just so a static ip/ [08:14] okay first question in this tutorial; http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ do i just leave the hostmask and stuff how they are cynicallemon [08:15] jakesyl: why do you want a static ip? [08:16] copernicus i'm setting up an ssh test server, and my friends need to get into it 24/7 [08:16] and if the ip keeps changing then... [08:17] I see. [08:17] maybe this will help: http://www.sudo-juice.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-in-ubuntu-the-proper-way/ [08:17] okay copernicus, i'll try this, will you be on for the next eh-20 minutes if i need help/ [08:18] yes [08:19] just looking at that static ip article, yeah follow that and see [08:21] copernicus- problem i cant even connect to the internet to get gksudo [08:21] jakesyl: Well, that's a problem I'm not sure I can help you with. Details? [08:22] jakesyl, get rid of bind9 if youve installed it and restart [08:22] Because obvs you're online right now [08:22] i already got rid of bind9 should i restart the computer [08:22] yes [08:22] yeah [08:22] and i put this back in my network interface: http://git.io/ScyGtw [08:23] that should do [08:24] reset didn't do anything, are there any other files i would've modified to install bind 9 that would effect me now === xubuntu is now known as Guest45175 [08:24] or can i just reset to network defaults/ [08:25] or should i just do a fresh install/ [08:25] jakesyl, can you ping 127.0.0.1 [08:26] yes, but thats it [08:26] jakesyl, can you ping 74.125.237.163 [08:27] no cynicallemon network is unreachable [08:27] i can't ping anything not local [08:28] jakesyl: sudo nohup sh -c "ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0" === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [08:29] wait do you guys just think i should do a fresh install i have nothing on here/ [08:29] easiest way [08:29] nohup seems pointless there [08:29] okay i'll just do a fresh install, this is a bit pointless [08:30] if there's nothing to lose, why not [08:30] setting to network defaults didn't help? [08:30] thanks for all the help anyway1! [08:30] just out of curiosity, why didnt you use network manager to assign a static ip? [08:31] cynicallemon is that graphical user interface? [08:31] yeah, you at the command line? [08:32] cynicallemon, yeah [08:32] ok [08:32] i'm just installing a gui next time, ubuntu or xubuntu which one you think is best for setting up static and then uninstalling? [08:33] jakesyl, what did you use for install this time? [08:33] like what os? [08:34] ubuntu sever, but that irc room's empty so i came here [08:35] jakesyl, ah i see, i've got a server install with static but i stripped out some stuff like resolvconf and network manager [08:35] cynicallemon is yours just apache? [08:36] jakesyl, just got mine running a few things like samba and transmission etc [08:37] ah okay i'm trying to do something a bit different, haha while i'm waiting for this fresh install maybe you could give me some pointers, do you have any idea how to setup a server just for ssh with multiple users like point me to a tutorial [08:39] http://guylabs.ch/2013/07/25/configure-a-static-ip-in-ubuntu-13-04/ [08:41] jakesyl, you could start here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [08:41] Hi [08:41] I have a question about linux command and php [08:41] is there anyone help me? [08:41] hi mohamadsaleh [08:41] Hi jakesyl [08:41] i might be able to help, i'm pretty good with php [08:41] whats your question? [08:41] jakesyl, ok, thanks. [08:42] MohamamdSaleh: yeah normally just ask your question, don't ask to ask [08:42] jakesyl, I run a command in linux command line ( lsdvb) and return output [08:43] but when I using shell_exec return empty [08:43] Beldar, crumpe, stainedhat: Except for the menu bar being on the wrong monitor everything seem to work now. Although I think this will be my last attempt att fixing this OS. The next time I'm formatting and going back to arch. [08:43] Ben64 someone should really add that to the desc. php and python have it [08:43] Hello! I'm trying to use VNC from my Ubuntu Server to my Windows PC. I've setup a ssh tunnel through which I can connect using Putty. Now I try to connect with my UltraVNC to x11vnc but I'm not sure how I should do that using the tunnel. Can anyone help? [08:44] jakesyl: its in the guidelines or something somewhere, plus ubottu has a trigger for it [08:44] How do I apply a diff from launchpad? [08:44] kasper, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced [08:44] kasper: vnc TO windows? [08:44] jakesyl, I ask it ...... [08:45] ik im researching [08:45] Ben64 x11vnc server is running on my ubuntu machine, I'm trying to connect from my windows [08:46] kasper: ok, then make sure its listening on 127.0.0.1, then use a tunnel that connects to the correct port [08:46] mohamamdsaleh what are you trying to execute pastebin it to us [08:46] hi, morning. I've installed ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. Its drivers video card doesn't work very well. I can't change video resolution from 640x480 to 1920x1080. I saw few tutorials that they didn't work. My configs are: processor i2600K 8GB ram - gpu: intel hd3000 - hd 1.8TB. What can I do? [08:47] Ben64 how can I make sure it is listening to 127.0.0.1? [08:47] kasper: netstat -ln | grep LISTEN | grep 127 [08:48] what's the ubuntu-dev channel [08:48] jakesyl, it's little code: shell_exec('sudo lsdvb'); but return empty, but when run this command in the linux command line return output [08:48] ben64 says listen [08:48] when you run your script from the command line, you're still seeing the output because both streams are shared by the single terminal window; it's just that you're seeing it directly from wget and not from your PHP script; [08:48] in the case of passing it through Apache and to a browser to satisfy a web request, this terminal context is disconnected from the result the user sees. [08:48] In your shell command you can redirect the former to the latter: [08:48] $command = "wget http://mydomain.co/media/bigbigbig.wav 2>&1"; [08:48] bot, I want driver for my video card [08:48] MohamamdSaleh: i'd bet because sudo is interactive [08:49] ubottu, video drivers [08:49] ubottu, video [08:49] novato_br: ubottu is a bot, not a person... [08:49] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:49] Ben64: I have added www_data in sudoers too [08:49] I know, Ben64. I need those drivers for my gpu [08:49] MohamamdSaleh: that is a fantastically terrible idea [08:50] I'm bothered. I pissed off [08:50] novato_br: well intel drivers should already be in the kernel [08:50] There aren't on this kernel [08:50] seems very unlikely [08:51] I can't change the video resolution from 640x480 [08:51] to any other resolution [08:51] Ben64: another commands return output in php properly but this command not working correctly [08:51] weird problem ...... [08:52] in this new ubuntu version you can't find the old xorg.conf file [08:52] MohamamdSaleh: well my advice is to stop doing that. horribly insecure [08:52] novato_br: right, it's not needed anymore [08:52] I see, so you can't change anything anymore [08:52] novato_br: thats not what i said [08:52] Ben64: why? I have required it, and it run in local system not in internet [08:52] Ben64: my vnc desktop is localhost:2 port 5902. The local IP Ubuntu IP is 192.168.1.150. SSH port 2222. How do I set up my putty now? [08:53] novato_br: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [08:53] ? [08:53] MohamamdSaleh: giving www-data sudo access is a bad idea. theres a reason www-data exists, and its security [08:54] kasper: sorry, i don't use putty [08:54] i've tried that, copernicus [08:54] it didn't worked [08:54] Ben64: yes I understand but I can not found another way ...... [08:54] novato_br: just confirmed, the intel drivers are indeed in 14.04 [08:54] work* [08:54] did you restart? [08:54] Ben64, how can I confirm that? [08:54] yes, copernicus [08:55] novato_br: i just informed you of it. pastebin "lshw -C VIDEO" though [08:55] ok [08:55] ok [08:58] sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core [08:58] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:58] sudo update-alternatives --remove gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf [08:58] novato_br [08:58] Ben64: do you any idea instead of using www-data in sudoers? [08:58] I've already tried this tutorial, copernicus [09:00] http://codepaste.net/1roimz === eric is now known as Guest81086 [09:00] look that [09:00] Ben64, http://codepaste.net/1roimz [09:00] virtualbox! === MohamamdSaleh_ is now known as MohamamdSaleh [09:01] what I don't understand is the intel drivers you need are in the 14.04 kernel by default, and you shouldn't have any issue. Sometimes they may not install properly, and you'd have to remove, reinstall and restart... [09:01] novato_br: you definitely should have mentioned that [09:01] I'm sorry [09:01] Oh. [09:01] wtf [09:01] does it matter? [09:01] yes extremely [09:01] ok [09:01] its not an intel card, its not even a computer [09:02] I've got it, Ben64 [09:03] When I've installed ubuntu on Virtual Machine, the system sees driver provided by VM software [09:03] dammit [09:04] Ben64: is there difference between linux command outputs? [09:04] MohamamdSaleh: not sure what you're asking [09:05] anyone about that knows a little about cups? [09:05] !cups | rolfy_ [09:05] rolfy_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [09:05] rolfy_, tea or coffee :) [09:06] ok yes rtfm - thats a good start - i guess i know enough that i know mine isn't working :| [09:06] rolfy_: part of the problem is you didn't ask a real question [09:07] i'm getting files through the 'print queue', they land in /var/spool/cups, and there they stay, printer never seems to get data (wlan printer) [09:07] rolfy_, whats (not) happening when you try to print? [09:07] printer is up and pingable, just never seems to receive the job [09:09] rolfy_, is the printer showing as enabled in printers windows when you open it up? [09:09] hello, i just inserted an audioCD (original) into my xubuntu laptop. aparole did start, but i got the following error message: error from gstreamer-bacgroundservice could not handle CDDA URI. How can I solve it? [09:10] ubuntu server... like the web console? [09:10] idle, accepting jobs [09:10] Ben64, I've installed VBOXGuestAdditions and ubuntu doesn't show resolution different from 640x480 [09:10] Guido1 sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [09:10] novato_br restart the VM [09:11] ok [09:11] novato_br: BEfore rebooting, ensure that the version of the guest additions matches the version of vbox exactly. [09:11] ok [09:11] rolfy_, i mean the printer/cups client - if youre on a ubuntu desktop [09:11] cynicallemon, its ubuntu server im trying the install on so no desktop to look at :| [09:12] ah [09:12] worked in 12.04, just trying to do the same with teh same printer in 14.04 and not so easy [09:13] YES, guys, I got it with your help [09:13] thank you, thank you alot [09:13] cfhowlett: still get the errow with parole (VLC works) [09:14] why do java come by default? [09:15] rolfy_, are you sharing the printer out to clients from the server? [09:15] !java [09:15] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [09:15] cynicallemon, yes hoping to [09:16] no, no, cfhowlett. I need to run websites what they need java installed. [09:16] I don't think I need java developing kit [09:16] rolfy_, is the printer network enabled, like via act5 cable or wireless? [09:16] cynicallemon, i can open that on my linux desktop, print to it and job comes up completed, wifi printer [09:16] novato_br get a browser plugin for java [09:17] yes [09:17] rolfy_, i dont bother with a cups server unless theres a specific need, just print directly to the printer from a workstation [09:18] how can I install this java plugin? [09:18] cynicallemon, mainly for other devices like ipads using air print and kids pc's [09:18] how do I assign a static IP to an Ubuntu VMware (Fusion) guest? [09:18] savantgarde: The same way as you would do on a native install :) [09:18] bekks: I tried yesterday, but failed miserably [09:19] novato_br look for Firefox plugins [09:19] savantgarde: So try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html [09:19] bekks: FWIW, I’ve never configured static IP regardless :) [09:19] ok [09:19] thank you, cfhowlett [09:19] Hi all. I just installed ubuntu 12.04. Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize wlan0. My plan is to do "apt-get upgrade" and hope that'll work. In order to do that I connected it to a wired connection. It recognizes that it's connected to something on eth0, but it won't connect! [09:19] Etale: Why didnt you install 14.04? [09:20] bekks: OK, trying [09:20] rolfy_, not sure about ipads but laptops and workstations here at home print directly to the wireless printer [09:20] bekks, because it doesn't work with Thinkpad T440p, unfortunately! [09:20] cynicallemon, true, might have to settle on that :| [09:20] Etale: I know quite a lot of people who are running 14.04 on a T440p === gusnan_ is now known as gusnan [09:21] bekks, I tried several times, but it kept getting stuck on the ubuntu logo screen, no matter how I toggled the setup options. [09:21] Anyway, do you have a suggestion for the current problem? [09:21] rolfy_, i dont see the need for a cups server these days to be honest [09:21] Etale: Did you configure your wired interface? [09:22] bekks, that sounds like something I probably didn't do... [09:22] cynicallemon, it can just be handy, replicating my old setup [09:22] cynicallemon, thanks anyway :) [09:22] Etale: Then you can refer to this, e.g.: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html [09:22] Java plugins is not working [09:23] rolfy_, ok np, i know a cups server was very useful in the non-networked printer days [09:23] bekks: OK I think I got it right now, thanks! suspect I missed a line in the config yesterday [09:25] bekks, I can't do "sudo apt-get install ethtool" because I'm not connected to the internet... [09:25] rolfy_, just out of curiosity did you check the cups logs? - i seem to remember you had to set permissions for client printing [09:25] that's the thing - status 200 on send document [09:26] so cups sees the job completed [09:26] Etale: Then omit that step. [09:26] novato_br what version of openjdk did you install? [09:27] Hey there! [09:27] rolfy_, is the server a fresh install or upgraded? [09:27] fresh install :| [09:27] Hi everyone [09:27] rolfy_, have you got a copy of the old config files? [09:28] yup - did copy the ppd but not /var/lib etc [09:28] I have an old netbook, with atom processor and 1 gb ram. [09:28] after the real install failed [09:28] ripthejacker lubuntu or xubuntu [09:28] which flavor of Ubuntu should I use for it? [09:29] cfhowlett, yes I brought my choices down to these too, which of these is easier for a linux newbie ( windoze user). [09:30] cfhowlett, I read that Lubuntu is lighter than Xubuntu, but a bit trickier [09:32] rolfy_, have you tried reinstall drivers on client machines? [09:32] ripthejacker trickier? same core, same repos, just different look and default apps Anyway, you'll get used to it. You weren't born using windows but you learned. same with ubuntu. [09:33] xubuntu has ubuntu software center and lubuntu has its own. [09:33] cfhowlett, ^ [09:33] ripthejacker: Thats not true :) [09:33] ripthejacker you're misinformed [09:33] cfhowlett, Not for me, I've been using Ubuntu for 3-4 years now :) [09:33] ripthejacker: the software center is just an application, which uses the same repos as the package manager. [09:34] cfhowlett, bekks Oh, probably, I read it on some blog, [09:34] ripthejacker: That blog is wrong. [09:35] bekks, by app I meant the repos. [09:35] bekks, Ok cool. [09:35] ripthejacker: the repos are the same. [09:35] cfhowlett, bekks: thank you guys, Lubuntu it is then :) [09:35] ripthejacker happy2help [09:37] cfhowlett, bekks : also wifi works out of the box the, right? [09:37] s/the// [09:38] ripthejacker: Depends on your wifi chipset. [09:38] bekks, ok [09:39] hi :) [09:40] i just do-release-upgrade -p when i had cinnamon running on my 12.04.4 lts and now my gui is broken? :( [09:40] ripthejacker completely dependent on the chip [09:40] !info cinnamon [09:40] Package cinnamon does not exist in trusty [09:40] yea i added a PPA [09:40] !ppa [09:40] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [09:41] lol [09:41] okie dokie [09:41] bekks: it’s not working after all :( I’ve edited /etc/network/interfaces like this: http://pastebin.com/dwzBSWZB [09:41] the gateway is my router - it looks OK according to ifconfig, but isn’t able to connect to the Internet [09:42] savantgarde: ifconfig doesnt show any routers. [09:42] savantgarde: Did you setup DNS correctly, too? [09:42] bekks: yes, I meant the status looked OK [09:42] I know the IP of my router [09:42] How come do-release-upgrade says there is no 14.04.1 for me when I'm on 12.04? I thought I was able to update like this. [09:42] savantgarde: Did you setup DNS in /etc/resolv.conf ? [09:42] I didn’t touch DNS, but I couldn’t even reach the router [09:43] savantgarde: So did you restart networking? [09:43] Hi. I have ubuntu 12.04 when i will be able to do do-release-upgrade? [09:43] I noticed before configuring the interface though that the gateway IP was different from the router, maybe it’s due to VMware? [09:43] bekks: I restarted the whole VM [09:43] savantgarde: The gateway to be used depends on vmware. [09:44] !quantal > cfhowlett [09:44] cfhowlett, please see my private message [09:44] bekks: right [09:44] bekks: I’ll try going with the VMware IPs [09:47] tiblock same problem. I understood that at point release .1, do-release-upgrade would work but no deal [09:47] cfhowlett, no release date is published? [09:47] Same here, been annoying me last few days, no one on mailing list seems to complain though [09:48] tiblock point release .1 released 2 days ago [09:48] bekks: should I edit /etc/resolv.conf as well? [09:48] cfhowlett, ah, so we need wait. Okay, thank you. [09:48] I'm tempted to just use the stupid -d flag and get devel release but that'll probably screw up my server somehow. [09:48] tiblock no, it should be working now. [09:49] You both on server or desktop edition BTW? [09:49] Hello. I have problems starting some apps at the moment (Thunderbird and Deluge) because "no D-Bus daemon is running". Should I reboot or is there a way to start that daemon? [09:49] savantgarde: Yes. [09:49] cfhowlett, uh... But you too can't upgrade? [09:50] tiblock not online, it seems. I've got the 14.04 ISO but I thought I'd try the live-upgrade option [09:50] bekks: according to which instructions? [09:51] tiblock there it is! do-release-upgrade -p seems to be the way to go if your system is set to upgrade LTS only [09:51] savantgarde: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution [09:51] cfhowlett, okay, will try in a moment [09:51] bekks: but that says that resolv.conf gets automatically overwritten? [09:52] resolv.conf itself even warns against this [09:52] cfhowlett: really? I recall doing 10.04 to 12.04 without any flags before. [09:52] savantgarde: Please read the entire section first, it covers all those pitfalls. [09:54] Do any of you have a solid state drive ? What are they like? [09:54] !ssd [09:54] Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. [09:55] bekks: I must be missing something, I can only see that it recommends adding DNS instructions to /etc/network/interfaces [09:56] savantgarde: Thats something you can do, too. [09:56] bekks: but how do I determine the DNS servers I should use [09:56] savantgarde: Look at your current network configuration of your host. [09:57] savantgarde: Then configure the same DNS servers in your vm. [09:57] hejhej do-release-upgrade with -p flag seems to do the trick. [09:59] how to list current configured repositories with a apt command? i need a list like: main, contrib, nonfree [10:01] how to change my dns on xubuntu [10:01] !dns | samurai [10:01] samurai: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [10:01] ty [10:02] Dudytz, you mean something like, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [10:02] dove si postano le foto? [10:03] exscuseme [10:04] bekks: what’s the way to restart networking? I’m trying /etc/init.d/networking restart, but it does nothing [10:04] savantgarde, sudo service networking restart [10:04] cynicallemon: ah thanks [10:05] must’ve changed since I learnt Linux [10:05] When can I upgrade with do-release-upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.1? It has been released for days .. [10:05] savantgarde, pretty sure your way should work too [10:06] cynicallemon: nope, it does nothing :( [10:06] kettu should work now. do-release-upgrade -p [10:06] that's proposed [10:06] I even tried stop and start separately, nothing [10:06] not the proper way [10:06] !worksforme [10:06] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [10:07] ironic trigger haha [10:08] "works for me" means everyone else is doing it wrong! [10:09] cfhowlett: just curious, you running server edition? and if so can you paste the results of /etc/lsb-release or whatever please after the upgrade? just curious :D [10:10] kettu no server: ubuntustudio desktop [10:11] kettu actually, as I already downloaded the ISO, I had hoped to use it as a source for the upgrade, but that doesn't seem to be an option. Probably clean install in my future. [10:12] aah, ok. guess I be more patient then. just so bored dying in this Swedish hospital with nothing to do but don't wanna break my server :p [10:13] kettu dying in a Swedish hospital? Chase Swedish nurses. But backup your data first [10:14] mhm yeah but the box itself is like farfarfar away so will be expensive if I break something that needs clean install :( [10:17] hi, i tried to install the wrong version of skype (32 instead of 64) and got a lot of dependencies issues and apt didnt install, now when i try to install the correct package apt still tries to resolve the dependencies from before. How can i get apt to start afresh [10:17] Howdy Everyone [10:18] itai how did you install? [10:18] @itai - have you purged Skype from the system? If its still trying to resolve those old dependancies, try running "sudo apt-get install -f" [10:19] Magentium, when i run that it tries to resolve the dependecies [10:19] cfhowlett, i dpkg -i on a package from skype.co [10:19] .com.... [10:20] itai sudo dpkg -r packagename here will purge from your system [10:20] hi. I've a problem using xfce desktop on ubuntu 13.04. My desktop is empty, every folder is disappeared and mouse right click doesn't run. Yesterday everything was ok. Any ideas? [10:20] cfhowlett, thanks [10:20] intore - Check your Updated Centre to see what updates were done since yesterday, could be a broken package. [10:22] cfhowlett,i purged it,thanks, now i added the partner repo and apt-get install skype and it asks me to download tons of dependencies (I have just install 14.04 today) , does that make sense? [10:22] probably [10:23] itai run this in terminal: apt-get show skype [10:24] itai no dependencies listed here, but I'd be surprised if a number of depends were not required [10:24] cfhowlett, Invalid operation show... [10:25] cfhowlett, i should mention that im using xfce ,if that makes a difference ,,,, [10:25] itai apt-cache show packagename will give valuable info [10:26] cfhowlett, it doesnt show any dependencies in apt-cache show skype, just generic info [10:27] are they new packages or maybe updated partner packages? [10:29] like a fresh apt update and upgrade say no results? [10:29] if a drive shows status: DRDY , or SError 10B8B Disapr Linkseq TrStaTrns } and {Proto 10B8B Dispar Handshk Links} is there a way to clean/correct these errors ? [10:30] cfhowlett, i run apt-get clean and then apt-get install skype but still tons of dependncies, look here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7873858/ [10:30] I have already switched SATA ports and cables to no avail [10:30] hipitihop: where does that error show up? [10:30] bekks, during boot, if there is somewhere a pastbin that I can upload a screenshot ? [10:31] Magentium, where can i check it? i'm in software and updates but i there is not the update downloaded list [10:31] hipitihop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:31] bekks, does paste.ubuntu alow screenshot upload ? [10:32] hipitihop: No it doesnt. You could pastebin "dmesg" instead [10:33] very difficult from that machine as it is early enough in the boot sequence that I don't get network access, that's why I have taken a screenshot via my phone [10:33] bekks, ^^^ [10:34] itai: Skype doesn't provide 64bit binaries IIRC, so you're getting 32bit multiarch dependencies. I wouldn't worry personally [10:34] bekks, the machine is a mythbuntu setup but I suspect this is something more general [10:34] kettu , so i should just click y?.... [10:34] hipitihop: It sounds like a broken hard drive. [10:35] hi all [10:35] As in Ubuntu 14.04/mate disable password when computer resumes from standby? [10:35] I would, yeah. or see if there's an open source replacement for Skype you can try but I can't think of any full features ones off the top of my head [10:36] bekks, I have pulled it out, and mounts fine on my external usb dock. Is there some chec/tes tI can run on it ? [10:36] hi [10:37] hello sausage water I am fox [10:37] lexmark 2620 printer installation on ubuntu 14.04 Ubuntu Questions Question #252252 Asked by Ralf 13 minutes ago Hi, I'm running ubuntu 14.04 lts and want to install a lexmark 2620 printer/scanner. I found a file on the lexmark website named lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh and downloaded it. How can run it to install the printer/scanner? Thanks Ralf [10:37] Hi, I'm running ubuntu 14.04 lts and want to install a lexmark 2620 printer/scanner. I found a file on the lexmark website named lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh and downloaded it. How can run it to install the printer/scanner? Thanks Ralf [10:38] click on it in the file manager and choose run [10:39] when i click on the file, a gedit window is opening and thats it [10:39] the window is not responding [10:40] might be a badly named file, remove the .sh off end and click and see [10:41] if that doesn't work, run it in the terminal [10:41] есть кто по русски разумеет? [10:41] cao e yu ?! [10:41] hipitihop: those symptoms mean you have a hardware fault in your computer, which doesnt involve the disk itself. [10:42] !ru | juriy [10:42] juriy: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [10:42] wuah, removing .sh seems to work [10:42] magic! [10:43] yay [10:43] ah, no, its not working [10:43] bekks, even if the drive partialy allows boot, and I can mount it on another machine (this) as an external usb drive, and both partions mount, display and can be explored in synaptic ? [10:43] also not in the terminal [10:44] it cant find the file [10:44] hipitihop: with synaptic, you cannot explore drives. Synaptic is for installing/removing software. [10:44] or do i need to add a command to open the file? [10:44] bekks, sorry just re-read your message. You are saying that there is prob with the ctual machine not the drive [10:44] cd to the directory and wrote bash filename [10:45] replacing filename with filename of course [10:45] ok, great [10:45] CD downloads and bash printerthing :p probably [10:45] now its working [10:45] :) [10:46] thanks a lot [10:46] bekks, and I meant explore with nautilus, sigh, I'm having a brain fart [10:46] yay hope its not false alarm :p [10:46] Hey guys [10:47] What can I do when I destroyed my apt-get configuration [10:47] ? [10:48] dominik-w: What exactly did you do, resulting in which exact problem? [10:49] Basically I get such errors on apt-get update and I can't install most packages anymore http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80] [10:49] bekks, so if my machine is suspect (which might be likely as this issue started after a temporary power cut here) is this likely something catastrophic like the whole mother board or something ? This is an ION-330 Atom based box used for mythtv [10:50] hipitihop: thats the point to investigate. :) [10:50] bekks, and since I swapped sata ports and cables, what can I test next ? [10:51] hipitihop: Test another disk, to ensure its not the disk which is faulty. If thats to no avail either, your motherboard is broken. [10:51] bekks, can you suggest some diagnostics I can boot from live usb === morpheus is now known as Guest61982 === Guest61982 is now known as morpheus_gr [10:52] hipitihop: You need another known-good harddisk for further investigation. [10:53] whats with firefox and google? google crashes when i try to access it with firefox. [10:54] im on firefox 31.0 [10:55] bekks, no alternative sata disk handy to test with at the moment so I will have to defer and see what I can do. Thanks for your help [10:57] whats with firefox and google? google crashes when i try to access it with firefox. [10:57] im on firefox 31.0 [10:58] hmm when I set my server to use dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces, I can connect to the internet. But if I set it to static, I can't connect to the internet (but I can still ssh to it via the LAN). is there anythig I need to do for static to get internet access? [10:59] pastebin your interfaces file [10:59] one with dhcp [10:59] john2x, maybe also check /etc/resolv.conf [10:59] er static [11:00] http://pastebin.com/bYSyC0pW (commented out the static lines) [11:00] hi [11:01] morph sounds right at first look, no nameservers listed. be my first guess [11:01] can you ping 8.8.8.8 with that static config ? [11:01] here's my resolv.conf http://pastebin.com/sMSyj1Gf [11:01] i'll try [11:04] kettu: yep, I can ping 8.8.8.8 [11:04] gr8 [11:04] add name servers to your interfaces and should be good [11:05] kettu: you mean to /etc/resolv.conf? [11:05] no. interfaces file [11:07] I don't have access to my own server right now but I am pretty sure that's where o have it. resolve.conf gets deleted frequently by some services iirc [11:07] kettu: It gets regenerated upon boot. [11:09] kettu, is right john2x add an extra line eg dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 in your interface configuration [11:09] ooh dns-nameservers.. I just tried with "nameserver" and it didn't work. ok trying again.. [11:10] lol is 8.8.8.8 what everyone pings when something doesn't seem right? [11:10] thanks google ;-) [11:10] hehe [11:11] remember it being 4.4.2.2 but then googles nicer looking one came around [11:12] woot! thanks guys :) [11:15] kettu i don't really believe this though https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq#privacy so i usually avoid using them [11:18] Hey am I right in thinking no two packages identically versioned from ubuntu and debian - should be identical? (i.e. via a hash sum check) [11:18] yeh suppose if you are a bit more strict in your privacy its not the best but not a concern for me personaly as hostnames I go to aren't really that secretive to me :p [11:19] lentizia if it matches a hashcheck it is same else not. debian packages sometimes work on Ubuntu but sometimes not as different compiler and dependencies versions [11:20] other kinda variables like that. but if its in Debian repos its probably in Ubuntu ones too I'd guess [11:21] or a ppa somewhere [11:21] kettu, not what I'm asking really [11:21] ok rephrase question sry :)) [11:22] i don't know how to put it any simpler really :S [11:22] can u guys recommend a distro with sounds built in so i do not have to look for ways to make my keys click everytime i press them. clicking keys must be built in. [11:23] lantizia_: No, checksum should not be the same, since they are repackaged. [11:23] hi [11:23] bekks, if ubuntu packages 100% of its own packages but often uses the same source packages as debian does - then is it theoretically possible the resulting binary package might be the same from both teams? [11:23] i.e. if identically versioned and canonical didn't need to change anything [11:23] lantizia_: No, due to the different dependencies. [11:23] and if they're the same? [11:24] lantizia_: They arent. [11:24] what if a package depends on only one other package and that is the same name/version ? [11:24] lantizia_: Then the version name is different, since the debian package contains "debian" in its name, while the ubuntu package contains "ubuntu". So they are different, always. [11:25] bekks, not all of them have ubuntu in the version name [11:27] lantizia_: Whats the actual issue behind all your questions? :) [11:27] well I suppose my issue now is it's uneasy to think you'd rather refuse to accept the possibility than say "yeah it could happen I guess" [11:28] I still have a problem with installing my lexmark x2620 on ubuntu 14.04 lts. I downloaded the file from lexmark website; lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh If i run it, it gives out an error telling me that he "can't pare the file /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control close to line 9 in package lexmark-inkjet-08-driver because the is a empty space in the value of "Description". o_O [11:28] lantizia_: And whats the issue behind those detailed questions? Which effect will a "yes/no" have for you? [11:28] the chances of it would be almost none and its kinda silly to argue about it instead of getting to your core issue === Cyrano is now known as Guest84489 [11:30] almost none - that answers it, thanks :) [11:31] wurstwasser: sound like the package is faulty, contact the manufacturer [11:31] And .deb.she is a really weird extension [11:32] lantizia_: so all you wanted to know was the chance of a md5 hash collision? [11:33] hm, the file is several years old. If there would be such a large error, I guess they would have correceted it already, or? [11:33] yeah - and there *might* be one - if the same compiler is used, same source package, same dependancies, same version - etc [11:34] in the terminal is the output: Verifying archive integrity...

[13:00] salve i instal kubuntu desktop [13:00] cfhowlett: really? I can't say sha1sum to compare a lot files? [13:00] cause you know the folder structure is the same [13:01] vby you CAN, I merely suggested automating the process. I've not done it, but I don't know that you can do wildcards, e.g. sha1sum allfiles.* [13:01] no sir.

I will try to disconnect everything including Internet connection. will be back later [14:11] ikonia: cfhowlett: Let me explain a little better. I had a problem with a half-installation of wine.

[14:14] can anyone tell me why I would still get the HWE out of support message in MOTD after updating linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty? [14:14] Hypersonic: what chipset is it, doesn't sound highly compatible [14:15] cfhowlett: when I get to the password screen, I give the correct password and it seems to accept it, but it just brings me back to the same password screen [14:15] newbie|2: you shouldn't get options for "low latency" at the boot screen [14:15] ikonia, I don't know [14:15] !details | newbie|2 you're giving out breadcrumbs for your problem description. give it all or none at all.

[15:06] and give it a ip in the vm [15:06] nic2 i should in the vm give it ip 192.168.1.1/24 and on the host give it a ip of 192.168.1.2/24 and point it to default gateway 192.168.1.1/24 is that correct?

[15:09] chroot gives me an error [15:09] gauravb7090: yes, and you where told why [15:09] Muchachao: I can't remember the command but restarting X should do the job [15:09] ohh okay [15:10] ikonia: amd64 version right?

[17:05] maddawg, do u want to delete all in the whole disk or on a specific folder ? [17:05] i dont know what that means darkxploit... you dont set lvm up on a home directory [17:06] you set lvm up as a partition tho [17:06] hm ok [17:06] darkploit specific directory [17:06] but with many directories inside it [17:07] find /your directory -name *.jpg | xargs rm -rf [17:07] find /your directory -name *.jpg | xargs rm -rf [17:08] maddawg, what do u think ?

Can anyone walk me through this? [17:38] That has been solved. ~/Desktop is now just a folder, not a symlink anymore.

[17:41] ~/Desktop is a directory, with files. [17:41] as it should be [17:41] Those files are not shown on Desktop. [17:41] so that is %100 correct [17:41] Instead, files from ~/ are shown [17:42] THAT's the problem. [17:42] Laban: can you give an example of a file name that you see as an icon on the desktop ?

[18:52] havarka: you should be able to see your Windows partitions, even if the installer can't see _that_ they are Windows partitions === newbie is now known as Guest93272 [18:52] havarka: make new partitions and tell Ubuntu to install to those, leave your existing be [18:52] hakim, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.07.27-22%3A52%3A19.png [18:52] workgroup is what its called i believe [18:52] hakim: Doublecheck it then, dont believe. [18:53] hakim, mygroup really? [18:53] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 [18:53] workgroup = mygroup [18:53] hakim, and uncomment browseable [18:53] hakim, and?

I think it may be acpi-cpufreq related, so I installed the i7z software and it reports C7 as being near 97% in every core... is that normal? [19:00] reisio: Could you please help me, sir? [19:00] bekks: I mean I am sometimes the poster child for doing things the hard way, but sometimes easy does equal elegant :) [19:00] brasileiro: no [19:01] i meant this, what can i do? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1F-F6nvjbDwanEzVkhJNTVmTkk/edit?usp=sharing wanna continue using windows ?! [19:01] meganerd, grandma can't do this. Too much. [19:01] Guest52795, I see.. any idea what might be causing that? [19:01] brasileiro: Why do you think your issue is related to acpi-cpufreq? [19:01] any possible reasons why usb stick formatted to ntfs on ubuntu machine isn't readable on windows, same goes other way around when i format it on windows and put files on it from ubuntu, windows will not recognize it (says it is corrupted) [19:01] still no luck [19:02] brasileiro: Most likely you have a troll in your machine [19:02] Guest52795, maybe this page is any help http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ [19:02] bekks, it runs on battery without any problem... i'm think something about the governors or modules [19:02] brasileiro: Why do you think that? [19:02] brasileiro: Check whats using your CPU instead, using top, htop or ps instead :) [19:02] hi everyone [19:02] this is my conf file now loa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7877391/ [19:02] hakim, you really have workgroup called "homegroup" on windows? [19:03] can you prove it?) [19:03] bekks, the process don't even take 20% of the CPU power [19:03] brasileiro: Which process? [19:03] in fact it might be less than 10% [19:03] firefox takes 3% [19:03] the others are less than 1% [19:03] how do i find out for sure in windows? when i click the network on the right in nautilus all the windows PC's show up under WORKGROUP [19:03] hakim, you don't forget about restart of smbd after changing configuration file?

[19:04] hakim, looks like you need WORKGROUP [19:04] hakim, not HOMEGROUP [19:05] jakesyl2, use the gateway you have now, asuming you are on the same lan now [19:05] meganerd, I wouldn't know.. really new into this stuff [19:05] even my opelec shows up under WORKGROUP [19:05] what does that mean oerheks, what do i put in for gateway and how do i find the gateway you have now? [19:05] hakim, so now you know what to do. [19:06] jakesyl2, see your current network connection? open the networkmanager and hit details [19:07] brasileiro: I don't even see a c7 statistic on my Haswell i5 [19:07] sudo restart smbd correct? [19:07] jakesyl2, or use 'ifconfig' in terminal, Bcast = gateway [19:07] hakim, yeah [19:07] let me show my new config again [19:07] meganerd, goku_, bekks, when the lag occurs the fan goes really fast and the C0 on the 4 cores is up to 30-40% [19:07] brasileiro: Then lool at top, htop or ps. [19:07] brasileiro: that means that something is using the processor [19:07] wait 0erheks i thought bcast was broadcast [19:07] *look [19:08] bekks, nothing there mate [19:08] brasileiro: use top, or atop, or htop [19:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7877434/ new config [19:08] Anyone able to assist with changing clock speed in Xubuntu?

[19:26] patricksutliff: That last one might help. Assuming your /boot disk is intact, grub isn't pointing at it correctly. [19:26] dlrk: Doesn't exist as an external module. [19:27] loa: ok it prompted me for a pwd and usr..i got in..now says permission denied but i can see the folders there [19:27] dlrk: Whick makes sense if it's built in. [19:27] using the ip [19:27] jhutchins: What can I do to make my CPU run at the bios speed [19:27] dlrk, if you tweaked your cpu speed in the bios, cputools have no use or give false info [19:28] dlrk: If you can adjust it from the OS try using the cpufreq utility. You might read the man pages. [19:28] oerheks: What do you mean? It's telling me my cpu is at 3.5 [19:28] dlrk, oke, a while ago you said higher [19:28] * in bios === gusnan_ is now known as gusnan [19:28] It should be running at 4.6, everything I've used to check it linux is telling me it's running at 3.5 [19:29] close [19:29] Oerheks: Are you saying I'm not getting accurate info on the CPU speed? [19:30] dlrk, so, you DID set it higher, so the info is false, calculated on the cpu specs, not the actual speed [19:30] hakim, you can get rid of password if you want [19:30] Okay , so your saying there isn't a Linux utility to give me the ACTUAL speed? [19:31] dlrk: cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:31] And cat /proc/cpuinfo is telling me it's running at 3.5 [19:31] Oerheks so what can i do ? [19:32] cpu MHz : 3500.934 [19:32] what about the permissions? [19:32] I want to add KDE as an alternative DE to an existing Ubuntu install *without* rebranding anything or changing the desktop manager/etc. which (meta)package should I use? [19:32] havarka, don't know? [19:32] i can see the folders but access is denied to them [19:33] last time I did it, it turned the computer into full-blown kubuntu (which I do *not* want) [19:33] bekks: That indicates it's running at 3.5 , right? [19:33] are you not everybody expert on ubuntu here? :) [19:33] dlrk: Yes. === eric is now known as Guest66153 [19:33] bekks: Okay, so Oerheks was WRONG [19:33] havarka: So which permissions do the folders have, then? [19:33] Bekks: Do you know how I can get it to run at 4.6 as set it in the BIOS? [19:33] dlrk: Nope. [19:34] dlrk: I'm not overclocking, for various reasons. === akim_ is now known as akim [19:34] bekks: what do you mean? [19:34] dlrk, i am not sure that command sees cpu info or actual speed :-) [19:34] bekks: Me too. The problem is that Xubuntu is running it below the OC speed [19:34] havarka: Sorry, tabfail :) [19:34] dlrk: Because the CPU is designed to run at 3.5 only. [19:34] dlrk: And not at 4.6 [19:35] bekks: I don't follow, that's what overclocking is [19:35] bekks could you help my anyway? anyway? [19:35] It's a semi-normal procedure [19:35] Are you saying Xubuntu blocks OCing? [19:35] dlrk: It a totally non-normal procedure, since it exceeds the specs of the manufacturer. [19:35] dlrk: No, I say ou are overclocking, since you changed the bios to 4.6 [19:36] <_root_> hello [19:36] bekks: I know I am I overclocking , are you saying cpuinfo is giving me the wrong speed? [19:36] dlrk: No. cpuinfo gives you the actual speed. [19:36] <_root_> Could anyone tell what font this is? http://i58.tinypic.com/30w19jq.png [19:37] bekks: Okay, then why isn't it maintaing the OC'd speed? [19:37] dlrk, cpu info takes the standard multiplier, not the one you set [19:37] Oerheks: How do I find the actual, current, clockspeed? [19:37] dlrk: I am not overclocking for various reasons. I cant tell you. [19:37] dlrk: The actual, current speed is told by cpuinfo [19:37] bekks: Oh, I missed the not [19:38] hakim, you need to change little your config [19:38] So, which one of you is right? [19:38] OerHeks says it ignores the multiplier [19:38] dlrk, test this > $ sudo dmidecode -t processor | grep Speed [19:38] 6dlrk: cpu frequency scaling [19:39] oh no, something is wrong! [19:39] OerHeks: That tells me it's at 3.9 [19:39] sudo watch -n 1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [19:39] OerHeks: So, how do I get to 4.5 [19:39] Says no such file or directory [19:40] hakim, try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/7877680/ [19:40] or just> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [19:41] OerHeks: No such file or directory [19:43] loa: tried it.. still cant open folders [19:44] <_root_> Could anyone tell what font this is? http://i58.tinypic.com/30w19jq.png [19:45] hakim, what the result?

[20:02] bekks: i'll just break the SD card in half and flush it if the stasi is at my door :) [20:02] Voyage: obviously, you will need to ssh to somewhere where torrents awork [20:02] ActionParsnip, are there any free such services? [20:02] kaop1: And how do you create a new one each time? [20:03] bekks: i dont [20:03] Voyage: you'd have to look online. It's how I get round stupid proxies at work :-) [20:04] bekks: keyfiles hidden in a very secure place, manual decrypt/reinstall if the sh1t hits the fan [20:04] kaop1: All that can be done with /boot and /boot/efi being on the hardisk. [20:04] anyway, does anyone know how to use the same flashdrive/sd card as /boot for multiple servers? [20:05] ActionParsnip, you know a tool? [20:05] ActionParsnip, you know a tool? by which you get rid :) [20:06] bekks: lets just assume I have a good reason for wanting to use external media, do you know how I could accomplish using it as /boot for multiple servers? [20:06] Compiz crashes at startup with code 5, no windows, or menus will show up, anyone had this problem? [20:06] Voyage: i make an SSH tunnel back home and push all my traffic down that. Like I just said. [20:06] kaop1: By just using it and manually ensuring that one installation doesnt mess up the other one. === Abhishek__ is now known as Abhishek_\ [20:06] ActionParsnip, k [20:06] thanks === Abhishek_\ is now known as KumarAbhishek [20:07] Voyage: why ask, when I just told you.....? [20:07] hi, does anybody knows why would "sudo i8kfan 2 2" always return "-1 2"? this is causing me severe lagging [20:07] bekks: i am using 1404 on all five servers, problem is that the grub entry has hardcoded UUIDs for one of them [20:07] "hardcoded" === CyberJacz is now known as CyberJacob [20:08] kaop1: So manually ensure that one grub install doesnt mess up the config of the other servers. [20:08] What is the shortcut key to use to open a terminal after compiz crashes? [20:09] bekks: and how would I go about doing so? creating efi-grub entries for each server? [20:09] walterwoj: CTRL + ALT + T [20:09] kaop1: Yeah. [20:09] bekks: and make sure that update-grub on one server doesnt mess up the other entried [20:09] kaop1: Exactly. [20:09] bekks: i surmised as much [20:09] :) [20:10] any advice on how would go about doing so? [20:10] Hi again, it seems i have a pb with wineg++, if i type wineg++ version, i have "winegcc: g++ failed, i need it badly!

I have a wireless router behind the model, so when I go to 192.168.1.1 it takes me to the wireless router, however, I want to go to the modem configuration menu. Any ideas how to get this IP? [20:13] _pr0t0type_: whatismyip.com === aaa801_ is now known as aaa801 === sasha| is now known as sasha [20:13] Actionparsnip : it just says "failed" [20:14] i installed this http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [20:14] hello [20:15] Hi everyone! I got two lines or error message when I boot Xubuntu, but I am unable to see what it's written because the splash screen of Xubuntu appears. I don't have any problems in booting into Xubuntu and use it, but I would like to fix those error messages. I take a look in /var/log/boot and there's nothing suspicious... Any idea? [20:15] _pr0t0type_: You can also look at your router's settings under 'default gateway' in the outgoing side and it should tell you your modem's ip or you can drop the router and connect directly to the modem go get what you want. [20:15] <_pr0t0type_> walterwoj: this still takes me to the wireless router configuration menu. I wonder why it's so hard to get to the actual model/gateway configuration menu, not the wireless router [20:15] Hello I was just in hear a bit ago and was told to try repairing grub. I repaired it and when I rebooted it worked. Then when I turned it back off and tryed to turn it back on it comes back up with same issue [20:15] when i install catalyst drivers it breaks my brightness controls [20:16] _pr0t0type_: Because TWC don't want you messing with thier modem. There really arn't any settings there to mess with. what are you really trying to do? [20:16] Hi, I am using Chrome browser under Ubuntu, In a text input, or text field, when I double click the work or text, it will automatically delete the text. It is very annoying. Does anybody know why this happens? and how to fix it? thanks [20:17] Quick question: How do you run a command at start-up? Is that done through .bashrc or is that just for terminal stuff? [20:17] Check the settings in Chrome maybe [20:17] <_pr0t0type_> walterwoj: I dont' think thats it. So basically, if I disable the wireless router, and connect an ethernet cable to the *TWC model* and go to 192.168.0.1, *then* it takes me to the TWC model configuration menu. however, I cannot get to this menu through the wireless network for some reason [20:18] Primus: i cannot find any relevant setting [20:18] toad1, have you tried Google it? [20:18] <_pr0t0type_> walterwoj: I think there is a way to get to it, I just don't know the IP. I was wondering if there was a linux command that maybe shows this IP address [20:19] Primus: yes. I google, but cannot find any [20:19] Never heard of this issue before, sorry dude [20:20] how i can limit resources and security for one application? [20:20] for example it is buggy, luggy and i don't trust to it. [20:20] <_pr0t0type_> walterwoj: anyway, thanks for the help. I'll figure it out [20:21] Hello; I'm looking for a more ...successful alternative to a program that is BleachBit. As it fails to appear as though its compatible (To say the least...) with my version of Xubuntu. [20:21] Shadow}}: What are you trying to do, actually? [20:22] I am haveing ubuntu boot back into initramfs after I have reaired grub once booted system up fine computer did an update shutdown then tried to power back on and it is back to initramfs [20:22] beeks: Clean free-space and all other information/stored data of no usage to me. [20:22] bekks* [20:22] do people actually do the whole "compile to javascript" in the industry? i've only heard people /talk/ about it [20:22] Also, bekks: I'd prefer to have the options of system log cleaning ect ect. [20:23] Shadow}}: you should cleanthose logs manually, to avoid accidential removal of important information. [20:23] hi, how do I report a bug from i8kmon? ubuntu-bug i8kmon won't do the trick [20:24] bekks: I realize that, But I simply don't have the technical know-how to accomplish it by myself. :/ [20:24] Shadow}}: Thenj you should refrain from using tools which do things your have no control over. [20:25] nvm [20:25] bekks: I'll take the chance of removal of important information on the grounds that I'll simply reinstall Xubuntu and start anew, Learning each time. [20:25] Shadow}}: Reinstall is wasting time only, it has nothing to do with learning. Besides memorizing the installer. [20:25] -Sighs- Good day. [20:26] Anyone have a MTA send everything from the server using an external SMTP server? [20:26] I've heard of sSMTP [20:27] Should that do the trick?

[20:32] Try looking up xbacklight [20:32] is it just like miss placed file ? [20:32] or something [20:32] try using 'xev' to see what the system is seeing when you press those keys [20:32] what about acpi event ? [20:33] whatever is in kernel 3.16rc6 fixed this [20:33] but iam wondering what catalyst breaks? [20:33] is there a special key (combination) (on a Lenovo E540) to get it out of the sleep or brake? [20:33] no [20:34] actualy it's Xubuntu [20:34] i don;t think so [20:34] the laptop is an ACER V5 122p-0643 [20:34] if there was i never had to use it [20:34] Guido1: brake? [20:34] Tlan: maybe less enter key... [20:34] i have a samsung 120gb evo ssd and 10gb ddr3 ram [20:35] wwhat does that mean? [20:35] reisio: there a two modes in which i can put it if i close the laptop [20:35] Guido1: there's probably a dedicated wakeup button [20:35] i don't have anything like that on this laptop [20:35] usually the same as the power button === eric is now known as Guest73825 [20:36] i guess i would have to go to the acer site [20:36] read the manual [20:36] reisio: hm, didn found one jet [20:36] Guido1: no power button? [20:36] there is a power button [20:36] Tlan: you Guido1?

[20:38] iam gonna try to install catalyst first than update the kernel to 3.16rc6 [20:38] Guido1: probably a software configuration issue [20:38] Guido1: but you could also poke at your BIOS prefs [20:38] jakesyl: you can set it if you want [20:38] how?

[20:53] and would auto update [20:53] Beldar: i dunno , i installed it and i have problem .. as a website says i should add new repo to install it but anyway i dunno how to fix it [20:54] marandi, If you added the repo it would update with your standard updates. [20:54] Beldar: anyway , do u have any idea what should i do ? [20:55] marandi, Yes just stick to apt-get update and apt-get upgrades [20:55] marandi, What makes you sure you are not at what the repo offers? [20:56] Beldar: actually i dunno much , i just now i cant open video in my chromium [20:57] marandi, I found that the pepper flash although more up to date is a spin and does not work on all videos that the adobe flash in the ubuntu repos do. [20:57] Beldar: why didnt i have this problem on 13.10 then ?! [20:57] I went back to the ubuntu repos flash myself [20:58] marandi, Your guess is as good as mine, just trying to update the way your are is not the answer we can see. [20:59] marandi, If you still have other browsers try them as well just for a variable check. [21:00] when kernel 3.15 will be in the repos? [21:00] ice9: sometime [21:01] reisio: how long? [21:01] htc, Post to the channel not me your wifi hardware, you can find it by running in the terminal lspci if internal. If it is external run lsusb. [21:01] ice9: an interval [21:03] how i can i find my channel [21:03] htc, Your channel? [21:03] yes [21:03] htc: /msg alis list *my* [21:05] hi people, i am tryin to install ubuntu i have 50GB of annolacated place, what should i format to? thanks ahead [21:05] htc, Can you describe what your channel is if alis is not the answer? [21:05] havarka: Ubuntu can choose for you, just point it at the space [21:06] i use this usb of wifi [21:07] htc, Than as I suggested how identify it, I doubt there is a channel for it, and we wont know without that info. [21:07] reisio so just click on freespace and then install now? [21:07] htc: do you mean wifi channel? [21:07] 1 [21:07] ah probably [21:09] havarka: sounds right [21:09] let me see [21:10] reisio that doesnt work ``expert`` i am gonna go with google :P sry bro [21:11] * reisio shrugs [21:12] hello :D I noticed a strange issue with ubuntu and to be more specific ubuntu studio but the issue is exactly the same for both: Sound quality is significantly worse compared to windows and whether I use Jack or Alsa - it's the same [21:12] aethersis: reduce PCM [21:12] It seems like the sound is more grainy and I can't set its level to as high as on windows without distortion [21:12] PCM what? [21:13] Hi. I can't download U1 Downloader script. After clicking the link, I get redirected to the the same page I've been seeing before, https://one.ubuntu.com/shutdown/. "Saving As" gets me a copy of said page in HTML. Anyone else encountered this issue? [21:13] Browser is latest Firefox. [21:13] hi, what is my nick? [21:14] Boohbah: Linus [21:14] somebody1 : http://ubuntuone.com/u1-downloader/u1-downloader.tar.gz [21:14] reisio: thank you, my script is fixed after reloading [21:14] aethersis: I get redirected to https://one.ubuntu.com/shutdown/ after I click it and nothing downloads... [21:14] somebody1 I gave you direct link - doesn't it work? [21:15] maybe try with wget and if that doesn't help, it must be something messed up with your DNS - it works for me [21:15] aethersis: No, as I said, I get redirected to the https://one.ubuntu.com/shutdown/. [21:15] somebody1: open a terminal and type "wget " it'll download fine. [21:15] For me, it doesn't work in a browser, but does work in wget. [21:15] yeah so type wget http://ubuntuone.com/u1-downloader/u1-downloader.tar.gz in your console [21:15] Oh, thanks for the idea. [21:15] and if that doesn't work, I can reupload it to a different location for you [21:16] it will save the file to the directory you are in (you can also check it with pwd command) xD [21:16] Wget worked all right. [21:16] awesome :3 [21:16] brb ima reboot to linux [21:16] That's extremely odd. I think I was using Google's DNS, why would it cause any such issues? [21:17] It's not your DNS. Not sure what it is, though. [21:17] somebody1, did you login? [21:17] Yes. No login = no link. [21:18] ok back [21:18] OerHeks: Oh, yes, I was logged in. [21:18] could somebody scrolll the history up and check who told me to reduce PCM? [21:18] aethersis: it was reisio [21:18] reisio how do I reduce the PCM and what is that [21:19] aethersis: Are you having issues with audio? [21:19] aethersis: alsamixer [21:19] lmao i cant believe i dont have alsa-mixer in ubuntu studio XD [21:20] yeah, usr13 I noticed that sound quality on ubuntu is significantly worse than on winodws [21:20] somebody1: Do you use HTTPS-Everywhere? [21:20] aethersis: Or what ever other audio mixer you have. [21:20] well - significantly worse for me, but for most users it may be unnoticable [21:20] I use alsa - that's for sure [21:20] but when I use JACK it's the same [21:20] aethersis: reisio told you to. [21:20] the sound is not only grittier but I can't also set the volume to as high as on windows [21:20] rww: Uhmm, yes, I forgot about that. [21:20] somebody1: That's why. The file works over http but not https. [21:20] aethersis: You might just try a different sound card. [21:20] somebody1: (I use it too.) [21:21] my sound card is perfectly fine - it's realtek built in my mobo and it's decent [21:21] it works better on windows and im satisfied with the quality [21:21] aethersis: Did you run alsamixer? [21:21] aethersis: 'alsamixer' [21:21] rww: Thanks, it helps. [21:21] somebody1: I have no idea how Canonical managed to set things up such that it breaks that way. [21:21] no problem [21:21] :-) [21:22] aethersis: Sound card is perfectly fine? "sound is grittier"? [21:22] aethersis: Ok...........? [21:22] on windows it's allright [21:22] and it can also play louder [21:22] but on linux it cant [21:23] and it sounds like there was sand on the speaker [21:23] aethersis: it sounds like you have some volume level turned up too high and the sound is clipping [21:23] just very very slightly [21:23] what folder can I place a public key file so that it will be user automatically? [21:23] used* [21:23] aethersis: Slightly ______________ ? [21:23] aethersis: all things you've already said [21:23] did you lower PCM yet or not? [21:23] I did [21:23] but it's just quiter [21:23] on windows it can play louder than that [21:23] like 2x louder and here it wont [21:24] aethersis: Play what_______________? [21:24] anything [21:24] Hello. Does anyone have any experience with getting bridging to work in xen? I want to bridge wlan0 to xenbr0 but I can't find any instructions on how (that actually work) [21:24] the volume level can't be set to as loud as on windows [21:24] aethersis: Try a different sound card. [21:24] hy [21:25] it's strange [21:25] why wouldn't it work as it should? [21:25] xenbr0? [21:26] aethersis: Have you checked if the sound device has an 'amplifier' toggle - some do, so that the output can be line-level or headphone [21:26] usr13: the xen network bridge [21:26] Great, I now get "Exec format error" while trying to execute the U1 script. Permissions are okay. [21:26] i will check it out TJ [21:27] aethersis: Often you can see that control easier with "alsamixer" rather than Pulseaudio [21:27] heracles: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Networking [21:27] it let's me give only +2dB gain [21:28] usr13: Do you have any experience with setting up a domU guest? [21:28] AHAAAAAA [21:28] NOW I CAN SEE WHERE THE ISSUE IS [21:28] sorry for caps [21:29] heracles: No [21:29] it doesn't detect headphones as headphones because they are not connected to headphone port. On windows it's possible to reroute headphones to headphone port but it's broken here... my PC case is broken [21:29] aethersis: I think they have given you all the info they have. [21:29] is it possible to reroute ports like in windows? [21:29] aethersis: What do you mean, it doesn't detect headphones? [21:30] the realtek driver on windows lets you choose what device is connected to any port and when you choose headphones it gives you extra gain because it has built in amp [21:30] aethersis: your PC case is broken? [21:30] however my headphone plug is broken and linux detects haedphones only when you connect them to the specific port [21:31] aethersis: when you say 'reroute headphones to headphone port' that doesn't make much sense, the headphone jack would already be... for headphones. [21:31] so is it possible to direct that the port I have my headphones plugged in is headphones, just like on windows? [21:31] do you mean you have headphones plugged into the *MIC* port? [21:31] no, there are 8 ports [21:31] daftykins: If there's one thing I've learned from pondering sound problems, it's that the things chipset manufacturers will do to cut corners rarely make sense. [21:32] rww: just like you highlighting me with that sentence [21:32] ;) [21:32] 2 fronts in front of the case - broken [21:32] aethersis: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/adding-an-alsa-software-pre-amp-to-fix-low-sound-levels/ [21:32] and 6 ports in the back - headphones are connected to the back port now but it's not physically a headphone port [21:32] daftykins: You're the one talking about things not making sense ;) [21:32] in windows you can set this port as headphone port in the driver and then it gives it a proper boost [21:32] rww: please don't waste my time with your irrelevant ramblings [21:32] so can i do the same on linux? === bp0 is now known as bpZero [21:34] aethersis: Probably not. [21:35] aethersis: You will just have to experiment with it. Not much *we* can do. [21:35] aethersis, maybe you can reroute line out, not the amplified headphone i guess.btw i have never seen routable laptop soundcards [21:35] aethersis: So this is a laptop? [21:36] OerHeks: It's a laptop? [21:36] no, I already said it has 8 ports - it's a PC [21:36] with realtek chip on mobo (GA-990XA-UD3) [21:36] aethersis: Ok, that's what I thought. [21:36] I don't even have the asound.conf file in /etc/ [21:36] aethersis: What does lspci say about it? [21:37] aethersis: So? [21:38] so I can't edit it liek the tutorial says [21:38] aethersis: You create the file. [21:38] http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/adding-an-alsa-software-pre-amp-to-fix-low-sound-levels/ this one [21:39] do people use some kind of program / antivirus with Ubuntu Server? [21:39] do I have to reboot or does it suffice to restart alsa? [21:39] jeffreylevesque: no [21:39] !antivirus | jeffreylevesque [21:39] jeffreylevesque: 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 [21:39] aethersis: Use this one: http://igmrlm.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-add-pre-amp-and-increase-maximum.html [21:40] yeah I already did alsa reload [21:40] now let's see if it's being detected [21:40] aha - no sound at all... [21:40] aethersis: Are you 64bit or 32? [21:40] 64 [21:40] aethersis: Ok [21:42] hmm sound is working but the boost doesn't work [21:42] lol [21:42] I don't want to boost line - what I want to boost is "Front" - any clue what it's called? [21:43] aethersis: Have you installed pavucontrol ? [21:43] nope - what's that? [21:43] oh wait I ahve it [21:43] aethersis: Use it. [21:44] * OerHeks was looking @ Jack [21:44] I tried using it to boost sound but all it gives me is distortion [21:44] I actually have a theory why it doesn't work as it should [21:44] aethersis: What is it? [21:44] windows driver lets me mark the port as Headphones port and then the soundcard activates its built in preamp [21:45] and what linux does by adding the gain is just overdriving it but not using the preamp [21:45] aethersis: I suppose that is possible, not sure. [21:45] and unfortunately my headphones port #@$# up and linux wont let me set the other port as headphones port and thus activating the hardware preamp [21:46] solution: spend $40 on a new case :D [21:46] *housing or whatever you call it [21:46] aethersis: Have you tried other ports? (One of the others may work as expected.) [21:46] yeah, I have but seems like only the front one works as headphones port [21:46] aethersis: What case or housing are you talking about? [21:46] uhm the thing all the guts of your PC are put in [21:47] aethersis: How about another sound card? [21:47] soundcard is good [21:47] the headphone socket in the housing is broken [21:47] aethersis: Yea, sounds really good..... [21:47] I will either solder it (if possible) or get a new one - I already kicked it way too many times xD [21:48] you see - the 2 front sockets are embedded in the housing and connected to mobo with a wire [21:48] and the sockets on the back are built in the mobo so they are fine because I don't kick my mobo when I get angry or when something doesn't compile :p [21:49] (I have 6 or 8 sound cards in a box here... come on over, pick one out.) ;) [21:49] where do you live :D [21:49] Azle, Texas [21:49] I think it would be cheaper even if I bought the most expensive asus xonar :D [21:49] i live in poland :D [21:50] Ok, yea, that is a little too far for a Sunday drive. [21:50] you see - they build stuff out of crap nowadays - older housings didn't break when I kicked them because they were made of metal [21:51] same with a new mouse I bought - I hit it with my hand and the USB socket (it had detachable wire) broke [21:51] I even opened it and tried to solder it back but it was not possible - they did EVERYTHING to prevent people from trying to fix it [21:51] aethersis: I have several boxes of spare parts. If something doesn't work as it should, I just grab one of those boxes and start digging. [21:51] aethersis: I wonder if you could adjust the snd-hda-intel kernel module's 'model' parameter to change the pinset according to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt [21:51] the problem is that they make stuff to break nowadays [21:52] ;3~ [21:52] TJ - I think I will just try to solder it tomorrow or buy a new housing - it's already cracked and broken [21:52] but thanks for your help everyone [21:53] it's so annoying - I can't even get an oldschool housing for my PC under 100 dols because everything is made of plastic now! what the hell is wrong with this world :/ [21:53] Anyone know how to change the names of the workspaces, cant find the option, and cant rightclick the workspace switcher either [21:53] how do I restrict wget to ONLY pull images from one sub domain? I'm trying to scrape the full sized pics from a site, but I'm getting the pics plus the thumbnail [21:53] Gin - you use gnome or what? [21:53] aethersis: switched to unity with 14.04 [21:55] Gin^, maybe right shift+right-click or CTRL+right-click or Alt+right-click? *shrugs* [21:55] *maybe try [21:55] (%@! installed ubuntu and windows doesnt start, GREAT! :-/ === Ridley5 is now known as zzz_Ridley [21:55] havarka - what do you mean it doesn't start? [21:56] havarka, are you using a new laptop? [21:56] can you choose it in bootloader? [21:56] i need to check it out again what does it says there [21:56] awesomess3: tried that but to no avail. I guess Unity dont want ppl to use workspaces :P [21:56] awesomess3: names ones atleast [21:56] yes i do have lenovo e531, and yes i can choose it it in bootloader [21:57] Gin^, I guess try removing it and adding it again [21:58] awesomess3: nah, I'll go back to cinnamon/mint again [21:58] havarka, what happens when you choose it in bootloader? [21:59] Gin^, I use Xubuntu 14.04 and workspaces work well [21:59] Gin^ I also use xubuntu - I have no idea how can anyone use unity, but it's just my preferences xD [21:59] awesomess3: Yep, workspaces work well with Unity aswell, what Im running atm. But it seems to be lacking a option to name them [22:00] aethersis give me a second need to restart to see it [22:00] aethersis: I kinda like Unity tbh :P [22:00] I'd suggest submitting it as a bug, Gin^ [22:00] its starting to feel quite polished aswell [22:00] hey guys how do i know what my previous linux headers slash kernels are too remove [22:01] i am currently using 3.11.0-26 === ronkrt-bnc is now known as ronkrt [22:01] awesomess3: I'll consider it, not sure its a bug in first place. workspaces aint enabled by default either [22:01] how do the numbers work [22:01] Psil0Cybin: there is no supported 3.11 kernel in ubuntu [22:01] 3.11.0-26-generic [22:01] i have linux headers for 3.2.0-41 [22:02] Psil0Cybin: which is the 13.10 kernel and that lost support last week [22:02] oh [22:02] well it just upgraded to that [22:02] on my 12.04.4 machine [22:02] so what should i do? [22:02] I have plenty of old kernels and headers, i just want to remove some to save space. [22:03] Psil0Cybin: you use the hardware enablement stack from saucy. use that one from trusty [22:03] will it change automatically for me? [22:03] or i have to do it my self [22:03] how do i remove my prevous kernels ? [22:03] Psil0Cybin: if you dont need to run 13.10 I suggest that you update to 14. And perhaps 13.04 14.04 releases are better suited for you since theyre long term support [22:03] Gin^: how would i do this? [22:04] psyl0cybin the easiest way to see what headers/kernels you have installed is to either use synaptic or to check it in grub - it has advanced boot options featuer and there you can set the kernel you want to boot [22:04] aethersis: okay, and i guess i would remove the bottom ones [22:04] correct? [22:04] Psil0Cybin: "dpkg -l | grep linux-" [22:04] Psil0Cybin, Gin^ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade #??? [22:04] awesomess3: Gin^ i did that [22:04] and it gave me to this kernel [22:05] awesomess3: not a fan of dist-upgrade myself. But that should work I guess [22:05] Psil0Cybin: you need that lts trusty kernel package [22:05] i have linux-headers-3.2.0-61 all the way to linux-headers-3.2.0-67 [22:05] and plenty more [22:05] yes - the importance of the numbers is from right to left [22:05] linux-image-generic-lts-trusty [22:05] 3.2.0-61 is older than 3.2.0-61 [22:05] awesomess3: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove should bring you to 14.04 [22:06] Psil0Cybin, Gin^ then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade #again? you beat me to it Gin^ [22:06] *61 older than 67 [22:06]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:06] k [22:06] i am so confused [22:06] which kernels would i delete tho [22:06] to save space? [22:06]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:06] Psil0Cybin: those you dont use? [22:06] Gin^, yeah I remember doing a `sudo apt-get upgrade` on my 10.04 and it wouldn't boot on restart :/ upgrading is scary [22:06] i would delete 3.2.0-41 - 58? [22:06] Psil0Cybin, but if you had 3.2.1-anything it would be newer than 3.2.0-anything [22:06] Psil0Cybin: please pastebin that command i gave you [22:07] okay [22:07] Psil0Cybin: "dpkg -l | grep linux-" [22:07]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:07] Psil0Cybin, or just type linux-headers in synaptic [22:07] hr: basic commands, like cd/mv/cp etc? [22:07] and sort it by clicking the first button on the list from the left [22:08] hr, you can search available terminal commands: apropos apt # would search 'apt' commands. [22:08] it will display the installed ones first [22:08] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7878825/ [22:08] can you help me free up space lol [22:08] look how many i have [22:08] Hi. How to make my laptop keep brightness settings after reboot? I've found this script http://askubuntu.com/a/227553 but it does not work for me. [22:08]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:08]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:08] hr: type help [22:08] Psil0Cybin, get rid of line 48 to 56 [22:08] ty aethersis ! [22:09] hr: http://refcard.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/bcs_72_21.png [22:09] but all this stuff doesn;t take much disk space from what i know [22:09] Psil0Cybin: first install the packages: "linux-generic-lts-trusty" and "linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty" [22:09] k1l he want's to save disk space - not to upgrade distro :p [22:10] i am worried to upgrade at the moment [22:10] *kernel [22:10] incase something goes wrong :( [22:10] Psil0Cybin: after that remove "linux-headers-generic-lts-saucy" and "linux-image-generic-lts-saucy" [22:10] aethersis: he _needs_ to get a new kernel since his kernel is EOL [22:10] aethersis: so running that old kernel is not a choice at all. [22:11] oh, so i should do this today? k1l ? [22:11] Psil0Cybin: asap [22:11] okay one second let me remove a few of the packages, to save some space and then i will do this [22:11] upgade [22:11] right now [22:11] yeah, security risk, Psil0Cybin - he's right :p [22:11] and you will save over 1gb by that :p [22:11] I'm trying to run 'grunt' on my ubuntu 14.04, and I get "/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory" [22:11] i was previously using ubuntu 11.04 and it worked [22:12] tbh I've never bothered to remove older versions of headers/kernel [22:13] guys, can you help me? [22:14] jeffreylevesque, `apropos grunt` or `dpkg -l | grep grunt` or `apt-cache search grunt` [22:14] jeffreylevesque, nevermind I don't know what I'm doing [22:15] jeffreylevesque, `dpkg -S /usr/bin/node` ? [22:15] jeffreylevesque, `sudo apt-get install grunt` [22:15] maybe you're missing recommended packages... [22:16] be sure to `apt-get update` === xavier is now known as Guest50289 [22:17] Cyb3rty, you could always create a "set_brightness.sh" in your $HOME/~ directory, and when you boot you can open a terminal and type `bash set_brightness.sh` *shrugs* [22:19] Cyb3rty: did you add that script to start up services? [22:20] awesomess3: i also can and do set brightness manually every boot, but it sucks [22:20] Gin^: yes [22:21] Cyb3rty: update-rc.d defaults ? [22:21] aethersis and k1l im using a acer aspire one D270 its pretty old [22:21] Gin^: yes [22:21] do u think i would have crazy errors [22:21] when i upgrae [22:21] Gin^: the script works, but not properly [22:21] Psil0Cybin: changing the kernel is not an upgrade of the ubuntu version [22:21] Cyb3rty: What should it do, and what does it do? [22:22] k1l: but he said to upgrade to trusty? [22:22] did he not? [22:22] no [22:22] Psil0Cybin: stop [22:22] or sorry you said [22:22] first install the packages: "linux-generic-lts-trusty" and "linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty" [22:23] Cyb3rty: did you check so /var/lib/brightness-level has the correct value? [22:23] since it gets the value from that file [22:23] okay so what is recommended for me to do? when it comes to upgrading my kernel from 3.11.0-26? [22:23] k1l: [22:23] http://askubuntu.com/questions/503475/cd-dvd-drive-not-recognizing [22:23] Psil0Cybin: you use a 12.04 with the saucy backports kernel. that is why you have 3.11. but saucy is dead now and you need to change the kernel to the trusty kenrel (3.13) which got support until the end of 12.04 [22:23] Gin^: it should store current brightness level in a file when it stops and set brightness to that level on boot [22:23] Gin^: but [22:25] k1l: okay so what would i do in order to get this support :), sorry i am newish so it takes me a while to get something through my head [22:25] Psil0Cybin: so you need to install that packages i mentioned and you can remove the saucy ones. [22:25] Gin^: if i stop it manually, it sets 'brightness-level' properly, but after reboot brightness-lever contains max brightness level [22:25] like how would i upgrade what is the best method? [22:25] alright k1l so i will install first install the packages: "linux-generic-lts-trusty" and "linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty" [22:25]
where can i get list of terminal command? [22:25] correct? [22:25] Cyb3rty: Does your laptop by chance have 2 graphics cards? [22:25] Psil0Cybin: and that doesnt mean you make an upgrade to 14.04. you just use that kernel from 14.04 [22:25] Gin^: yes [22:25] Psil0Cybin: yes [22:26] alright k1l i just want to make sure i got the commands right so i do not cause damange. [22:26] alright i am going to download them right now [22:27] Cyb3rty: sec, trying to read through the script [22:28] Cyb3rty: What is max value it resets to after reboot, if you know [22:30] Gin^: 976, as it is in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness === Ozera|| is now known as nonl [22:31] k1l: upgrading now [22:31] Cyb3rty: Do you by change perhaps have some other application installed to control the brightness for you, like xbacklight ? [22:31] by chance* [22:32] Gin^: тщ [22:32] no [22:34] Cyb3rty: can you do /exec -o cat /var/lib/brightness-level in chat [22:34] cat: /var/lib/brightness-level: No such file or directory [22:35] :P [22:35] oh wait [22:35] testing!! [22:35] :D [22:35] Anyone have advice for rockbox troubleshooting? [22:35] i've deleted it already [22:35] semitones: I'd start with /join #rockbox. [22:36] Gin^: wait a minute, i'll reinstall that script [22:36] The script saves current brightness level to that file when you reboot, or atleast it should. And there is where it restores brightness level from. if it is removed or missing, it uses default value of 4 [22:36] Gin^: i know, i know [22:36] k1l: do i need to do more once mykernel is upgraded to trusty? [22:36] will it automatically get the updates i want? [22:37] i just got W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw for module r8169 [22:37] :( [22:37] Psil0Cybin: you installed the meta-package. that will bring you the latest 14.04 kernel every time there is an update for it [22:38] rww: one step ahead of you :) they don't seem to be listening for a half hour. Looking for some non-rockbox experts [22:38] semitones: Unfortunately, #ubuntu is just for Ubuntu, so... [22:38] Psil0Cybin: maybe you need that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39487/possible-missing-firmware-lib-firmware-rtl-nic-rtl8105e-1-fw-for-module-r8169-w [22:38] sometimes y'all know what to do though :) doesn't hurt to ask [22:40] Gin^: ok, i've reinstalled it [22:40] semitones: rockbox for music players? [22:40] k1l: the gitclone? I am usually hesitant to do anything not from offical sources [22:40] it should be supported right? [22:41] Cyb3rty: Okay, any luck so far? [22:41] Psil0Cybin: before removing the old kernels try a reboot and if everything works [22:41] Gin^: yep -- don't want to talk about it here though :P [22:41] Gin^: nope [22:41] k1l: will do right now :D [22:41] thanks for advice. [22:41] semitones: I never used it myself, check http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaFAQ#Problem_47Troubleshooting_Questions [22:42] Cyb3rty: as in it doesnt update default brightness level? [22:43] Gin^: if i do '/etc/init.d/brightness stop', change brightness, and '/etc/init.d/brightness start' script does it's work. But if i reboot, i got max brightness again [22:44] Cyb3rty: can you check if the value of /var/lib/brightness-level changes on boot? [22:45] Gin^: yes, it sets to 976. but i'll recheck it if you wish [22:45] even if you set another value before reboot? [22:45] Gin^: yes === newbie is now known as Guest7215 [22:46] WON! both win and ubuntu running tramtaradida! :P [22:47] Cyb3rty: when you shutdown/reboot your computer does it by change increase brightness level before shutting down from hardware? [22:47] Like you notice a slight increase of light from screen just before it turns off? [22:48] Gin^: i'm not sure, let me check it [22:48] brb [22:49] Is there a way to forcibly recover a passphrase for an encrypted partition - if I have forgotten the passphrase? [22:50] Gin^: no [22:51] Cyb3rty: Then I guess driver behaves aswell, thought it perhaps would reset drivers to default values before a shutdown [22:51] Guest7215: no [22:52] Guest7215: that would rather defeat the point of having passphrases [22:52] Gin^: is there any other ways to keep brightness level after reboot? [22:53] Cyb3rty: I personally never had any issues with brightness levels on my laptops, I usually run the on max brightness, and only fade them when in dark rooms [22:54] rww: I know it sounds like fiction, but the governments always find a way to recover what they decide to recover [22:54] You can set brightness level to a default value on boot, that I know [22:54] k1l: 3.13.0-32-generic is the new kernel [22:54] i want correct? [22:54] seems like the network card still works [22:54] but recover past brightness Im not so sure of [22:54] Psil0Cybin: yep [22:55] thank you [22:55] now you can remove the old saucy metapackages [22:55] Guest7215: You are welcome to contact your local FBI office, then. Here in #ubuntu, we stick with things that are known to be true. [22:55] Gin^: max brightness is too bright for me [22:55] k1l: sorry what command would i use just to make sure i do not remove something i need :) I just want you to list it because i trust you more then my self loll [22:55] rww: I'm sorry, and I know I'm crazy, but I'm upset that I can't recover my partition. [22:56] Guest7215: I expect so. Next time, keep backups. [22:56] k1l: sorry what would be the meta packages? [22:56] Psil0Cybin: after that remove "linux-headers-generic-lts-saucy" and "linux-image-generic-lts-saucy" [22:56] Cyb3rty: You could use xbacklight to set brightness with start up applications [22:56] rww: or write down passphrases [22:56] Guest7215: I know I sound harsh, but there's really nothing we can do to help, by design. [22:56] Guest7215: indeed [22:56] Guest7215: and sometimes this conversation gets rather long, because people assume we're lying and there is some way, but... there isn't :\ [22:57] rww: What's annoying is that I have an idea as to what it is [22:57] rww: but not precise enough to .... [22:57] Gin^: ok, thanks [22:57] Cyb3rty: But that would only be a workaround to the problem [22:58] Cyb3rty: sudo apt-get install xbacklight [22:58] hello all! i need some help :D... any one used OpenOlat? ... i m stuck at tomcat... it says its 'tomcat is started' but i dont see it in netstat... ubuntu server x86 on virtualbox with bridge adapter [22:58] Cyb3rty: and in start up applications add a command like "xbacklight -set 60" or what ever value you like [22:58] rww: btw, how do I "test" my passphrase to recover the partition, should I find the correct passphrase? [22:59] Guest7215: we dont support bruteforcing here since we cant verify if its your system. [22:59] Guest7215: while booted up from another computer, or...? [22:59] k1l: I understand [23:00] Cyb3rty: Well, best of luck to you, I'll head to bed now [23:00] Gin^: good night [23:01] rww: I have a partition of sda1 with Ubunru 14.04 LTS normal and a partition of sda6 with Ubuntu Studio 14.04 LTS. [23:01] rww: I can't seem to recover sda6 - the partition I use most of the time [23:02] Guest7215: I believe you can just click on it in Ubuntu's file manager and it'll prompt for a passphrase. Not sure though, as I don't use Ubuntu's file manager. Someone else here might know. [23:02] rww: And sda6 was associated in the boot screen to Ubuntu low latency [23:02] honestly, I'd probably head over to askubuntu.com for this sort of thing. tends to be a bit messy to walk through over IRC. but that's just my personal opinion [23:03] rww: And I no longer see the boot screen option "low latency" [23:03] rww: Thanks [23:04] bye === FlannelKing is now known as Flannel [23:09] can anyone help ???

[23:52] Zunair, stating the actual issue is your path to help grasshopper. ;) [23:52] semitones: you can try fsck -p, but a chatty fsck is generally a bad sign/// === sins-_v is now known as sins- === xragnar_ is now known as xragnar [23:53] Do you know what should I do to be able to use a disk formatted in Mac system? [23:53] Loshki: it keeps talking about long file names being messed up [23:53] in catalina.out i get warning: SetContextPropertiesRule context Setting property 'debug' to '0' did not find a matching property [23:53] semitones: that [23:53] then Error listnerStart [23:54] mojtaba, this been moved to another computer and you need to just format? [23:54] semitones: that's not good. See if fsck -p will run to completion... [23:54] Loshki: how does fsck -p differ from fsck -y [23:54] mojtaba, More context basically. [23:55] Beldar: No, it is formated in Mac machine, and I want to be able to work with data in Ubuntu. [23:55] mojtaba, So this is a dualbooted apple and ubuntu? [23:56] in the mac still? [23:56] No, mac is my friends machine. I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS [23:56] Beldar: I am in Ubuntu. [23:56] mojtaba, Are my questions ringing any of your bells? [23:56] Beldar: ? [23:57] Beldar> mojtaba, this been moved to another computer and you need to just format? [23:57] what is ? at the end? [23:57] Loshki: it's still going but for pretty much everything it is saying "not auto-correcting this" [23:57] semitones: -p is safer, it won't do anything it thinks might jeopardise the data. -y just goes ahead and acts as though you typed "yes" to every question. Unless you're an fsck guru, "yes" is probably the only answer you'll ever give. [23:58] I want to know if there is a way to read and write HFS filesystem in ubuntu or not. [23:58] mojtaba, So this is a mac formatted HD, and you want to work with the data on it in your ubuntu computer? [23:58] Beldar: yes [23:58] semitones: that means your filesystem is in bad shape. What happened to it? [23:58] mojtaba, Ah cool, not sure myself other than a web search. === FRed is now known as Guest63394
