guzzi_jonesmd0 is sda1 and sdb1 nieither of which have the bootable flag set.  i think i could just go into gparted and set that?00:02
guzzi_jonesthen uncheck the bootable falg for sda2 and sdb2 for md1 which is my original install00:03
guzzi_jonesi thought i could set bootable on md0 and md1, but it won't allow that in gparted.00:03
_TJ_guzzi_jones: did you clone the md arrays, or create the new one fresh using "mdadm --create ..." ?00:05
guzzi_jonesit was an array that was created on installation.00:23
guzzi_jonesit used to be swap00:23
guzzi_jonesi reformated it to ext400:23
guzzi_joneson copied over from md1 to md0 preserving permissions00:23
alfonsojonHi, it seems Ubuntu 14.04 is running much slower in VirtualBox than it did in 12.0400:25
alfonsojonI have 3D acceleration enabled and 2048MB RAM allocated to it, yet it still takes over three minutes to boot.00:26
alfonsojonAny suggestions?00:26
rick68does anyone know how to remove these printer desklets from the desktop?00:26
SachiruDid you install guest additions for 14.04?00:26
alfonsojonSachiru: Yes.00:27
SachiruAlso is 14.04 a clean install?00:27
SachiruOr an in-place upgrade?00:27
alfonsojonClean install.00:27
TJ-guzzi_jones: OK, so you don't have clashing MD GUIDs, so changing fstab and doing "update-grub" should be sufficient00:27
alfonsojonHost system is Elementary OS Luna (based on Precise), but I don't think that should matter much.00:27
koellHod do I enable 256 colors in xterm? I already have the export xterm-256colors in my settings00:28
rick68how did you get 2G of ram, i thought 256M was the limit00:28
alfonsojonrick68: this is not 1994 ;)00:28
rick68for virtualbox00:28
alfonsojonOh.00:28
alfonsojonIt depends on the amount of RAM available to the host system00:28
ObrienDavethat would be 1995 ;P00:28
alfonsojonI have 8GB RAM, so I can give it up to 6 GB safely, but it doesn't need that much00:28
alfonsojonPlus, I have the 32 bit version, so anything above 4GB wouldn't matter anyways00:29
rick68guess i havent used it in a while00:29
alfonsojonwell, nevermind00:29
alfonsojonPAE fixes that00:29
rick68o wait, im thinking of gpu00:30
alfonsojonrick68: ah00:30
rick68thats still the limit, right?00:30
alfonsojonYeah.00:30
rick68too bad00:30
alfonsojonIt can go higher, but you need to give it something like 6 monitors00:30
alfonsojonlol00:31
rick68woah00:31
alfonsojonright now, I'm using it with dual monitor00:31
alfonsojonpretty neat00:31
alfonsojonif it weren't slow as molasses fresh out of the freezer00:31
rick68i used to run androidx86 on it, and 256 was not enough00:32
alfonsojonreally?00:32
TJ-alfonsojon: probably because with 12.04 there was an option of "unity-2d" for non opengl hardware accelerated systems, but with 14.04 there is no such fall-back option?00:32
rick68so do you get 256 for each monitor?00:33
alfonsojonrick68: unfortunately not00:33
TJ-alfonsojon: Also, by "boot" do you to reach the logged-in user's desktop, or to reach the greeter?00:33
alfonsojonTJ-: Boot sequence is extremely slow, lightdm is slow (takes seconds to load), session is even slower (takes around 30 - 45 seconds to load gnome-session-flashback)00:33
alfonsojonusing metacity, not compiz00:34
alfonsojonmeaning it shouldn't be affected by opengl00:34
TJ-alfonsojon: is the underlying VM image a file, or a host block device (e.g. an LV) ?00:34
rick68so i got to admit, im still kind of green to linux, whats the best distro for handling video?00:34
rick68or does it matter00:34
TJ-alfonsojon: I'd boot it in Recovery mode and/or examine the dmesg and kern.log files00:34
alfonsojonrick68: not really00:35
rick68nice00:35
alfonsojonrick68: just get something based on debian or fedora, the others out there may not work with the software00:35
rick68ya i started with ubuntu, but liked the eye candy of kde, so i switched to kubuntu00:36
alfonsojonTJ-: It looks like I can get a speed boost by allocating the full storage rather than dynamically expanding it00:37
guzzi_jonesTJ- thanks yes it looks like i need to just set the boot flag on the corresponding sdb1 and sda1 and undo sda2 and sdb200:37
alfonsojonNot a fair comparison, but Windows XP boots in around 15 seconds in VirtualBox.00:38
alfonsojonWhereas Ubuntu takes around three minutes to reach the desktop00:38
alfonsojon(14.04)00:38
rick68so does anyone know hot to remove these printer desklets? (i think thats what theyre called)00:38
alfonsojonrick68: what distribution?00:39
rick68kubuntu00:39
alfonsojonon the desktop or taskbar?00:39
rick68desktop00:39
alfonsojonyou should be able to hover it, then a little drawer will slide out00:39
rick68they magically appeared00:39
alfonsojonclick the "X" on the drawer00:39
rick68nope00:39
alfonsojondo you see a little button in the top right?00:39
rick68no drawer00:39
alfonsojonkind of looks like a cashew?00:39
rick68i know what youre talking about00:40
alfonsojonalright, do you have that button or no?00:40
WACOMalthey folks. I am looking for how to manually add a public GPG key for a repo I added00:40
rick68oh the one that says desktop00:40
WACOMaltI think the Release.gpg in this folder is what I need to add http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal/dists/3.5/00:40
rick68alfonsojon yes i do00:42
alfonsojonWACOMalt: Not sure, sorry.00:42
alfonsojonrick68: click that00:42
alfonsojonthen the drawers should (not sure, not a kubuntu user) appear00:42
rick68ooooh00:42
rick68let me try00:42
rick68alfonsojon nope, just a drop down menu00:43
alfonsojonwhat are the options?00:43
rick68alfonsojon and its the same menu as a right click00:43
alfonsojonoh.00:43
alfonsojonhmm00:43
alfonsojonI'm not sure then, sorry.00:43
alfonsojonI haven't used Kubuntu in a few months, I switched to Elementary.00:44
alfonsojonSorry :(00:44
rick68np thanks anyways00:44
rick68whats that00:44
alfonsojonIt's another distro based on Ubuntu 12.0400:45
rick68looking at it now....nice00:45
alfonsojonIt looks snazzy.00:45
alfonsojonAnd it's fast.00:45
rick68any tearing issues on video?00:46
alfonsojonnope00:46
rick68that took a while to fix00:46
alfonsojonwell, none that I know of00:46
rick68nvidia card?00:46
rick68with nvidia drivers?00:46
alfonsojonYep00:46
alfonsojonnvidia-331 + GTX 550 Ti00:46
rick68haha00:47
rick68same one00:47
alfonsojonah00:47
alfonsojonI get tearing in some games though00:47
rick68i found a way to disable effects on full screnn video, it helped00:47
rick68does it have the same eye candy that kde has?00:48
rick68i love this magic lamp00:48
alfonsojonnot really00:48

jellowHi I cannot use down arrow keys, When I press down arrow key a notification appears here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/FuK6yFq. Thanks00:57
jellowI don't think ctrl works either00:58
daftykinslooks like your down arrow key is enacting the 'disable touchpad' function00:59
rick68jellow doesnt that mean your trackpad is not enabled <-guessing00:59
alfonsojonjellow: it seems your FN key is toggled on for some reason01:00
rick68i would almost try your hotkey settings01:01

rick68jellow on kubuntu theres a system setting for shortcuts and gestures, dont remember if i saw it on ubuntu01:12
guzzi_joneswell i got the sda2 and sdb2 to have the boot flag but how do i set the boot flag on a software raid device?01:16
daftykinswhat was your issue and what are you trying to achieve?01:17
rick68night everyon01:17
OERIASgood night rick68 switch over to Debian01:18
daftykinstroll alert01:19
guzzi_jonesi suppose i could load up the ubuntu-server installation iso and set it in there?01:19
daftykinsguzzi_jones: got a desktop liveCD handy?01:19
guzzi_jonesdaftykins - yes i do01:21
daftykinsguzzi_jones: use a disk partitioner in that01:22
daftykinsyou didn't really state the general challenge though so i can't be sure that's apt01:22
guzzi_jonesi tried gparted.  it won't see both md0 and md1 raid devices01:22
guzzi_jonesit only sees the physical devices and then the NON boot raid device01:22
daftykinshow rude, some CLI tools might be more relevant then01:23
TJ-guzzi_jones: did you ensure both MD devices are assembled ("cat /proc/mdstat") ?01:23
guzzi_jonesno.  i quit for the night.  the device it did see md0p1 or some wierd naming convention was the device i wanted to set boot on, but i went to manage flags it just said "flags"01:24
guzzi_joneslike the programmer didn't get to that part of the code01:25
guzzi_jones:?01:25
guzzi_jones:/01:25
guzzi_jonesthanks for all your help.01:26
guzzi_jonesit seems to be impossible to change to boot flags on software riad drives.  I will try this weekend with the ubuntu-server cd.  maybe i can do it through that.01:27
TJ-guzzi_jones: md0p1 is partition 1 on /dev/md001:28
guzzi_jonesahh ok that makes sense01:29
guzzi_jonesTJ-: why couldn't it see md1p1 then?01:29
TJ-guzzi_jones: if the md devices aren't whole-disks they don't contain partition tables, so there is no boot flag to set01:30
TJ-guzzi_jones: and if the md devices are whole-disks, and are hosted in partitions, then the boot flags are in the partition table(s) of the two underlying whole disks01:31
guzzi_jonesok so i went and changed the boot flags to the smaller disks sda1 and sdb1 which are part of md001:32
TJ-guzzi_jones: If mdadm hadn't assembled md1 there would be no partitions to find.01:32
guzzi_jonesi then restarted.01:32
guzzi_jonesand it still booted to md101:32
guzzi_jonesoh ok so check to see that md1 is assembled01:33
guzzi_jonesstill doesn't explain how i changed the boot flags and it booted to the wrong partition?01:33
TJ-guzzi_jones: how do you mean "booted to" ? you mean the root file-system was mounted via /dev/md1 ?01:33
guzzi_jonesboot flag was set on sda1 and sdb1 ....01:33
guzzi_jonesthese are part of md001:34
guzzi_jones..01:34
guzzi_jonesmd0 contained an exact copy of my os.01:34
guzzi_jonesfrom md101:34
guzzi_jonesi edited fstab and grub to use md0 UUId01:34
guzzi_jonesi rebooted01:35
guzzi_jonesdf -h returned file size of md1 NOT md001:35
TJ-guzzi_jones: the boot-flag in the partition table has nothing to do with which file-system is used as root. To set the root file-system requires the grub configuration to be updated so it writes a revised /boot/grub/grub.cfg which uses the UUID of the replacement root file-system01:35
guzzi_jonesok.  so on md1 i have a grub.cfg with UUID for md101:36
guzzi_joneson md0 i have a grub.cfg with UUID for md001:36
Churchguzzi: do i understand right that you simply want to increase size of root fs that is placed on md mirror on partitions?01:36
TJ-guzzi_jones: and have you "grub-install /dev/sda /dev/sdb" to update grub's core.img so it knows which File-system contains /boot/ ?01:37
guzzi_jonesi want to transfer my OS from md1 to md001:37
Churchdo you have separate /boot ?01:37
guzzi_jonesi did not do grub-install01:38
=== Synchunk` is now known as Synchunk
guzzi_jonesi do not have separate boot01:38
guzzi_joneswhat is core.img?01:40
Churchbtw, for future setup of mirrored server fs layout on two disks i'd suggest doing it this way: md0 mirror of 512MB partition0 on both disks with /boot on it, then md1 mirror of both disks partition1 (on all the rest disk capacity) on which then use LVM to dynamically change diskspace allocation as you need.01:40
TJ-guzzi_jones: BIOS > valid boot disk (sector 0, offset 254=0x55AA) ? > read sector #0 and write to address 7C00 (this is GRUB MBR boot-strap) > MBR uses BIOS to read core.img from sector #1 onwards, which is the grub core.img > core.img 'mounts' the grub root (fiile-system containing /boot/grub/), reads grub.cfg, loads modules, does "normal" and displays the GRUB menu01:40
TJ-guzzi_jones: So this may be down to the hard disk you've got selected in BIOS boot order *if* you did "grub-install /dev/sdb" but not also "grub-install /dev/sda", for example01:41
cliff1245Hello Everyone, I am trying to get a Ubuntu Server 12.04 network up and running. It is a new build. It is installed as a VM on ESXi on a server.  The ESXi server is also running pfsense inline as my firewall. I wanted to connect the Ubuntu server to my LAN side of the firewall. Everytime I run if Config, the eth0 doesn't show a IP address or a gateway as if it's not getting an address from the dhcp server.  The primary network inter01:41
TJ-Church: I simply RAID1 the entire disks, much easier01:42
daftykinscliff1245: you got cut off at 'The primary network inter...'01:42
cliff1245The primary network interface in the /etc/network/interfaces file says "auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp" If my understanding is correct, I should be requesting my IP address from the DHCP server, is that correct? I have pfsense also running as a DHCP server. It is connected to a linksys switch/router that this machine that I'm using is connected to, so It should be working. Any suggestions as to how to get my ubuntu server connected 01:43
ChurchTJ: LVM gives much much better flexibility .. with enabling doing most of needed reconfiguring later on online01:43
raul782Hi guys, what is the difference between ln -s and ln -nfs ?01:43
daftykinscliff1245: it obviously isn't attached to the right interface DHCP is running on01:44
daftykinscliff1245: you do see an interface yes?01:44
Churchraul782: i'm too lazy to read manpage, but all i ever needed is to use -s or without it for ln, to make soft or hard links that is.01:44
cliff1245yes01:44
raul782I normally use ln -s, but when using capistrano I c they use ln -nfs01:45
guzzi_jonesTJ-: why would i do grub install /dev/sdb?  and grub-install /dev/sda?01:45
raul782f as force that I understand01:45
guzzi_joneseach of those have two partitions.01:45
guzzi_jonesdoes that write the bootable drive to the mbr?01:45
ChurchTJ: and according to setup above which i employ everywhere, i simply drop MD usage, if there is HW raid or it's LUN from already raid-ed SAN. LVM simply imho is must have tool for any sysadmin01:45
raul782I guess the ln  -n option is the one I don't understand completely01:45
cliff1245root01:46
cliff1245boy am I glad I didn't enter in my password!01:46
guzzi_jonesChurch: yes i am going to a smaller parition so i can eventually go to lvm01:47

daftykinscliff1245: whoops!01:48

cliff1245daftykins: how would you set the server up?01:49
Churchguzzi_jones: btw, to that "ideal" setup of mine only one correction. It's best to start "small", as it's always easy to grow size, but much more hassle to reduce.01:49
cliff1245go into /etc/network/interfaces and change auto to static?01:49
cliff1245sorry, not auto, i meant dhcp01:49
daftykinscliff1245: yep then specify address, netmask, gateway - then remove resolvconf and hardcode DNS into /etc/resolv.conf01:49

hopesinerbeldar, ok sorry02:01
ChurchTJ-: of course LVM on MD raid if there is no HW raid beneath. But i avoid using plain partitions with just MD raid. In my sysadmin experience needed to reconfigure layout way too often to NOT use LVM.02:01
TJ-Church: Agreed entirely, /boot/ on a RAID1 primary partition, the rest LVM02:02

somsipsydney: and the contents (of the directory)02:20
sydneysomsip: what if i just tell dejadup to ignore that file? ;) (just a thought) ;)02:21
yoda_ok but the all uses the same repo so one can be converted into the other by installing uninstalling packages correct so there was no real need to do it. Only for the fact that most people want to chose from those 3 standard builds in the general case02:21
somsipsydney: then you wont have a backup of it02:22

tonytanyone know if there is a way to paste in putty?02:45
daftykinsyes, right click02:46

tonyttried that. its not working02:46
ClickbuzzWhat is a .sh file?02:47
somsipClickbuzz: usually, a bash script02:47
yoda_so then I am see sort of a trend on the number of actual in products to the number of products that just change there names ebox, zentyal ,   landscape ,...etc02:47
ObrienDaveyoda_, do you have an actual Ubuntu support question?02:49
Clickbuzzsomsip so I can write commands in a text editor, save the file as a .sh file. Give it executable permissions. and then execute it like a script?02:49
jay__is anyone experienced in dual booting with a natively linux computer?02:50
=== administrator is now known as Guest62846
jay__anyone online?02:56
somsipClickbuzz: basically, yes. Though best to add a shebang to it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%2902:57
daftykinsjay__: yes you disappeared when i was replying... do you want to put Windows on after the fact? is that the idea?02:57
Clickbuzzsomsip: lol I like the way that sounds...add a "SHEBANG!"02:57
jay__my internet disconnected, my bad02:57
jay__and i wanted to dual boot possibly. but i need to know fi my windows xp recovery disc works for dual booting, of if i need to get a windows xp disc from a store or online02:58
somsipClickbuzz: you could add a kerpow, but that would just be silly ;)02:58
LoshkiClickbuzz: a shebang (also called a sha-bang, hashbang, pound-bang, hash-exclam, or hash-pling)...02:59
daftykinsjay__: XP is dead now, nobody should be installing it for anything. ever.02:59
jay__im asking if something like that would work though,. i also have a vista recovery and win 7 recovery02:59
daftykinsjay__: but in a dualboot plan you should really be putting Windows on first to make life easy02:59
Clickbuzzsomsip: so the shebang #!/bin/sh basically passes the rest of my script to a specific program/interpreter for the script?03:00
Clickbuzzsomsip well !# not the other one03:01
Clickbuzzsomsip err #!03:01
somsipClickbuzz: basically, yes...#! (the ! is the bang!)03:01
jay__daftykins: i needed to know is a recovery disc works for dual booting.03:02
daftykinsjay__: it really depends what you define as being a recovery disc, i'd consider it standard Windows install media.03:02
daftykinsjay__: if that's just some packaged up way of putting back on all the cruft that came with a system, then it'll work in a way.03:03
jay__daftykins: it's the factory reset disc's i got when i bought my various computers in the past.03:03
Clickbuzzsomsip: so if I were making a script to configure ufw  #! /bin/sh would let me run the script? Its just a series of ufw commands03:04
daftykinsjay__: you know you can only use those on the ones they came with?03:04
daftykinsClickbuzz: that's how shell scripting works, sure03:05
somsipClickbuzz: yes. Though you would eiter need to sudo {myscript} or have sudo prefix each command in the script (no space in #!/bin/bash)03:05
jay__daftykins: thats what i needed to know lol03:05
Clickbuzzdaftykins: its just kinda confusing picking the right thing to use. there bash, sh when look to point to dash03:06
daftykinsand he left, just like that03:06
daftykinsnot realising he should've been in ##windows this whole time =|03:06
Clickbuzzdaftykins: I never know what runs what03:06
daftykinsstick to bash. also, go to a channel relevant for this topic, such as #bash03:06
Shadow}}Hey daftykins: Can you help me out?03:07
Clickbuzzdaftykins: will do. didnt know it existed03:07
daftykinsdepends if i know anything about your question, Shadow}}03:07
Shadow}}You do as much as I do so greater I presumed. I'm curious which version of Ubuntu is the most user friendly for complete linux newbies.03:08
daftykinsuuuuuh, i don't typically run desktop so i can't really comment on that one03:08
Shadow}}daftykins: Its for my mother's computer so all that is required is easy networking, firefox, and if possible Solitaire... Like windows version of it. Does any Ubuntu version come with that?03:09
daftykinspersonally i'd say unity is horrible for a new user to get to grips with, it makes no sense to me!03:09
daftykinswhat's the spec?03:09
Shadow}}Its a 1.7 APU all-in-one win8 machine.03:09
Shadow}}I intend on disabling the UEFI chipset then allowing Legacy and disabling SafeBoot, Then allow Ubuntu's nifty networking driver/updates during installion to do the work for me.03:11
daftykinsShadow}}: no need to disable UEFI or secure boot03:12
daftykinsupdates during install can bite your ass03:12
Shadow}}You positive? That UEFI in that thing causes alot of unwanted blockage.03:12
grache28Hi - After installing grub was configured with /dev/sda1 as the windows boot loader, sda1 is Windows recovery partition, and sda2 is the actual Windows partition. I've tried editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom with an entry for /dev/sda2, but when I do sudo update-grub it doesn't seem to accept/see that entry03:12
daftykinsi'm pretty confident i can make UEFI installs work on any setup now03:12
TJ-Shadow}}: The issues with UEFI are mostly buggy implementations by the motherboard manufacturers03:13
Shadow}}You may! But I'll be using a simple live cd to do so with networking. I'm not linux savvy by any means.03:13
daftykinsgrache28: sounds like you're attempting to use GRUB v1 methodology to resolve GRUBv203:13
Shadow}}Agreed TJ-03:13
daftykinsShadow}}: right, we all install from simple live media - so that'd be fine yes ;)03:13
daftykinsShadow}}: you just need to know the difference between booting in UEFI mode and not03:13
Shadow}}Alrighty. So its safe to assume that even being a all-in-one machine if I wipe the drives then I can install Ubuntu from Live-CD?03:14
daftykinswell why don't you dualboot to start with? if your mums use-case is as you say, then it's not like disk space will be an issue03:15
Shadow}}Oh? Can Grub be coded to boot in non uefi mode?03:15
Shadow}}It won't.03:15
daftykinsso keep both \o/03:15
Shadow}}Wait, DualBOOT?03:15
daftykinsdo a 50/50 split maybe03:15
daftykinssure03:15
TJ-Shadow}}: If you boot the ISO in EFI mode, then you can install alongside Windows. Both Windows and Ubuntu will have entries in the UEFI boot menu03:16
Shadow}}I tried instaling Mythbuntu alongside win8 a year ago but it blocks the os from starting and i can't even find the menu.lst to remove the mythbuntu..03:16
daftykinsyeah you too are trying to use GRUBv1 methods03:16
TJ-Shadow}}: The default will be Ubuntu, but by pressing, at boot-time, the key that brings up the manual boot menu, you'll be able to choose which OS ... no need for GRUB to deal with Windows chainloader when using UEFI03:16
daftykinsanyway, that was mythbuntu, not normal ubuntu03:17
grache28daftykins: oh, i thought that was grub 2 - http://ubuntuguide.net/manually-addingremoving-entries-to-grub-2-menu03:17
Shadow}}Truetrue. Alright. So, What do ya'll say Ubuntu or a specific version of ubuntu?03:17
daftykinsknowing the spec would still be nice03:18
grache28daftykins: do you have any info on the grub2 methodology?03:18
daftykins!grub03:18
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub203:18
Shadow}}1.7GZ APU, AMD..Erm what else..03:18
daftykinsShadow}}: why not boot live media then see which she likes? at the end of the day you're going to have to support it ;)03:18
daftykinswell the intended network interface would be important to get it online :>03:18
=== Arthur is now known as Guest96334
daftykinsactually i think a lot of the AMD APUs still give graphics issues, not sure if they've all been ironed out yet03:19
Shadow}}Trust me. I despise that machine, Thus why its hers.03:19
Shadow}}But she can't take Windows 8's bullcrap anymore either. And I'm sick of wifi intruders.03:20
daftykinswifi what now?03:20
Shadow}}I really don't know, Some dude has been jacking into any desktops with built-in wifi adapters for years now. That win8 is like..A cess pool every day anew.03:21

daftykinsShadow}}: you have proof of this 0o03:22
Shadow}}I have his mac address but thats beside the point.03:22
grache28According to that it seems I used the correct methodology, which part specificly was grub1?03:22
daftykinsShadow}}: well it's quite interesting because i somewhat doubt that's going on to a patched system (:03:23
daftykinsor if it is, i'd get the guy convicted03:23
Shadow}}Anyway I'm off to bed, Was just checking what to download to install tomorrow. Hm?03:23

Guest4269cos at the graphics kinda tear when i move a video window or play flash games03:52
Guest4269the cursor is pulsating like mad03:53
DanaGSay, do any of you have a 1280x720 display?  I need to EDID-override a system, so it would be a massive help if somebody with such a display would run 'read-edid > somefilename', then either upload the file somewhere, or pastebin the output of 'xxd somefile'.03:54
ObrienDaveGuest4269, try changing cursor sets03:55
daftykinsDanaG: does your display fail to give a correct EDID? is it VGA?03:56
DanaGActually, it's an IPMI device, with no monitor attached.  The device is capable of up to 1920x1080, but running 1280x720 gives me the best balance of real estate and not filling the viewer's screen.03:57
meganerdDanaG: I have a TV that is annoying like that.  Advertises 1024x768 even though it is 720p03:57
Guest4269obrien, where do i look for cursor sets?03:57
daftykinsIPMI 0o03:57
DanaGIf I use drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=<some edid.bin>, the "ast" KMS driver gives a better resolution.  Default is 1024x768.03:58
DanaGThankfuly, llvmpipe on Haswell is fast enough that the network connection is usually the limit, even with Gnome Shell.  Gnome Shell is actually better for it, because the viewer doesn't pass alt-tab.03:59
Guest4269obrien, just noticed if i stop streaming from bbc iplayer the cursor calms down04:00

dadaaloha! what's the status with 14.04 LTS? why Update Manager (currently on 12.04, set to "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For long-term support versions") still doesn't offer me to upgrade?06:30
nikolam_histo, your questions are normal but not helping, thanks.06:30
user123321histo, It seems that the VM with UCARP currently active cannot ping 192.168.1.106:31
nikolam_no those are libraries not applications, and i am not using them06:31
nikolam_problem is with apt / dpkg that has a problem with restarting service that would not restart and then fails to fix state of packages06:31
histonikolam_: I'm trying to figure out if you even need the service. If not just remove it.06:32
user123321histo, Is it a must that the gateway's IP be shown in route command?06:32
nikolam_histo, well to remove it, i need working apt/dpkg, right. and it is not working06:33
histouser123321: no the * is correct06:33
user123321histo, I see, but my host shows 192.168.1.106:33
user123321as gateway06:33
histouser123321: ahh you don't have a gateway defined in your interfaces06:34
histouser123321: define gate 192.168.1.1 udner your netmask line06:35
user123321histo, I did try to define, but it didn't work. Shall I try defining again?06:35
user123321ok06:35

hanumanI am trying to install java on Ubuntu but I couldn't. Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.06:42
user123321histo, with gateway, can't still ping 192.168.1.1. I commented CARP stuff, then I could ping 8.8.8.8, but browser cannot access the internet. DHCP pool summary of my router did not have an IP assigned for my VM, is it because of static ip in interfaces file?06:42
histouser123321: yes, and you can't reach a website because of no nameservers06:42
user123321histo, let me remove static part.06:43
histouser123321: no you can leave it06:43

AbhijitMoundBob, "floppy"??07:29
Abhijitdont you mean cd /dvd/bluray/usbdrive and the latest nasas motion in space invention?07:30
DanaGbah, I no longer use boot sectors, wherever possible.  EFI for the win!  No more start-of-disk magic; instead, you just run proper compiled executables.07:31
histouser123321: comment out the carp stuff and under gateway 192... put dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4    then restart networking and rejoice07:31
Abhijithisto, doesnt restarting networknig overwrites resolve.conf and hence errasing google dns?07:32
histoMoundBob: why are you working with floppies?07:32

trijntjeif I have they are in some tar.gz of my whole home dir, what effect would that have?07:54
trijntjehisto: no, I keep my virtualbox images on the internal harddrive07:54
histotrijntje: It shouldn't be an issue if they are tar.gz'd but if they were just there in theopen then you would see the behavior you are reporting.07:55
histotrijntje: you could try rsync -avS  and see if that has different behavior07:55
histotrijntje: the other thing that could cause it is a bad directory that wasn't deleted properly and the inode is hanging on the source. So the destination would have that different size data.07:56
histotrijntje: but your fsck would have fixed that, if you fsck'd source and dest and rsync'd again.07:57

ObrienDavebosnjak, greetings and welcome11:08
bosnjaki am on 13.04 and it is not supported anymore. I would like to upgrade to 14.04LTS but I'm afraid to mess up my PC since I need it for work. What are the chances I mess it up by do-dist-upgrade? My /home is on a separate partition... Is that enough to be secure?11:09
bosnjakalso, if i would do a clean install, would i be able to just re-use my /home partition again and mount it, and everything would be preserved?11:09
Grillehisto: oookay … i think there is a broken dependency … i have solved my error messages by manually downloading and installing initramfs-tools-bin_0.99ubuntu13.5_amd64.deb because apt-get and aptitude were not able to do so. here again my now solved problem http://pastebin.com/5hQDejVn11:09

rimathats another problem, it doesnt upgrade to the newer version13:37
hydewell, that's not supported any more I think.13:37
hydeI think you can only upgrade it to 13.0413:37
rimai've tried to upgrade it i couldnt, should i uninstall ubuntu and install the latest version?13:38
hyde(and then 13.10 and 14.04... then you can stay with 14.04 until 16.04 comes out, because you can upgrade from LTS to LTS)13:38
hyderima: if reinstall is reasonable, then that's probably the easiest way to get a working system13:38
rimaok thank you very much for your support13:39
hydeit should be possible to fix the issue, then go through those upgrades to latest version, but... probably more hassle than reinstall13:39

fridaynextI'm having some trouble creating a RAID5 array with four disks I've just formatted/partitioned15:38

fridaynextI'm not sure what this output means, but I'm guessing it has something to do with why sdb1 is 'busy' - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=hRfEHjYm15:42

fridaynextThese four drives were used in a previous RAID5 array, and it seems there's still data 'stuck' to them.15:45
fridaynextAh, I just tried to recreate it, and I think it worked...15:45
fridaynextwow, the 'recovery' is going incredibly slow.  Why does it take so long to build a RAID5 array with nothing on it?15:47
ActionParsnipfridaynext: its writing and reading data. Depends on drive speeds etc15:47
fridaynextActionParsnip: but what is it writing/reading?15:48
ActionParsnipfridaynext: its rebuilding the array. Never worked in a server environment?15:48
fridaynextActionParsnip: yes, I set this server up about a year ago, and I'm now migrating it, but I deleted all the data on the drives, so they're all empty15:48
ActionParsnipfridaynext: no, as in a data centre or similar?15:48
fridaynextI guess I haven't totally wrapped my head around what creating a RAID array entails.15:48
fridaynextActionParsnip: nope, haven't ever worked in a DC.15:48
ActionParsnipfridaynext: a drive fails, you pull it out, replace it then the data has to be rebuilt on the new drive15:49
fridaynextActionParsnip: I understand that - I just don't understand why the initial setup - with no data on it whatsoever, would take more than a couple moments.15:49
jayarnever mind. i'll just it from my windows machine15:49
ActionParsnipfridaynext: it still needs to recalculate stuff and setup the array-ness on each drive15:50

ActionParsnipcrazysheep: udisks is an abstraction for enumerating block devices and performing operations on them, such as creating file systems or mounting.

redviperActionParsnip: That's by doing it with the site you gave me?17:05
TJ-Last time I tested GoogleEarth, it fails on both 32-bit and 64-bit17:05
redviperI got it working on Mint 1417:06
nemoSo. Just wondering... This is like the second computer I've upgraded to 14.04 from 13.10 that has run into errors on upgrade that completely blow up17:07
talin1Does anyone have any hints as to how the F#¤% to get a F&!"(/# lenovo laptop to boot GRUB and not Windows in UEFI mode?17:07
nemolike, dpkg complaining that python 2.7 doesn't exist, samba install failing...17:07
nemoHas anyone else noticed a higher than usual level of upgrade SNAFUs with 14.04 ?17:07
talin1im starting to loose my mind here, been trying umptheen different solutions in the last 24 hours17:07
nemobtw, by 2nd commputer, that's 2nd I've tried period, so, so far every upgrade has failed17:08
nemodpkg fix time, but still…17:08
TJ-talin1: Does Ubuntu have an entry in the system's UEFI boot menu?17:08
xanguanemo: did you have third party repositories in your 13.10 install before distro upgrade¿17:09
nemoxangua: yep. MATE, which is now official I believe.17:09
nemoon both machines17:09
nemoxangua: but the errors don't seem to be linked to the desktop install17:09
xanguanemo: next time remove all third party repositories then17:09
nemoI mean, MATE doesn't mess around with samba or python17:09
nemoxangua: well, the update does disable repos…17:10
talin1TJ-: the UEFI/BIOS does not have any detailed view17:10
ActionParsnipredviper: yes, there is a package that wil build you a deb, you can then install that17:10
TJ-redviper: I've just installed the latest 32-bit Google Earth, on 64-bit Trusty, and it works so far... even manages to render its client area - which was the bug last time I checked17:10
talin1TJ-: but bcdedit /enum firmware from windows shows an entry17:10
talin1TJ-: for some reason that entry is not shown when trying "boot from other device" in winpe17:11
TJ-talin1: Shows an entry for Ubuntu? But you don't see that at the system's boot menu choice ?17:11
talin1TJ-: the bios lets me choose which drives to have in my boot order. period17:11
redviperActionParsnip: I'm not too sure what I am doing, putting in the commands in the terminal and following the steps?17:12
TJ-talin1: This is strange - I was helping someone else earlier this week and they had the same issue, efibootmgr showed the Ubuntu boot entry was there and set as default but the firmware refused to show it or use it17:12
talin1TJ-: is efibootmgr installed during 14.04 server install17:12
talin1=17:12
TJ-talin1: For UEFI, alongside the drives, there should be entries for each installed operating system that is UEFI aware, so you should have "Windows" and "Ubuntu"17:12
ActionParsnipredviper: yes those are terminal commands.17:12
buharinhello guys if I installed some app with make install hwo I can remove it just remove folders?17:12
buharindirectories mean17:12
ActionParsnipredviper: you will then get a deb and you can instal that17:12
nemoTJ-: so, I know very little about UEFI, but could that be related to a locked bootloader, one that requires signing?17:13
nemoTJ-: 'cause.. sometimes BIOS let you turn that off.17:13
redviperActionParsnip: Does it make a difference as I already downloaded a .deb file from the Google Earth site?17:13
TJ-talin1: efibootmgr is a core part of an EFI install, it comes in with grub-efi, and it is the interface the OS has with the UEFI firmware for adding/removing/modifying boot entries that the UEFI firmware keeps in its Non-volatile RAM17:13
talin1TJ-: i could try a re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reinstall and see what efibootmgr says before i reboot17:14
ActionParsnipredviper: no, as the commands will do what is needed17:14
TJ-nemo It could be, but in theory, no, since the Ubuntu/GRUB EFI boot-loader is signed by the Microsoft signing key that is shipped in "Windows 8 ready" PCs17:14
talin1TJ-: is it available from the boot medium?17:14
talin1TJ-: the CD boots just fine in UEFI mode both with and without secure boot enabled17:15
redviperActionParsnip: okay well I have put in the commands and it is now downloading the package.17:15
talin1TJ-: but is efibootmgr available from the install medium?17:15
sanuhai17:15
TJ-talin1: If the installer did boot in EFI mode, then yes. You can quickly check which mode the OS booted from by doing "ls /sys/firmware/efi/" and making sure there is the directory "efivars"17:16
talin1TJ-: it is not availabe pre "Install to disk"17:16
redviperActionParsnip: Point 5 says I must Install the created .deb package, where from?17:16
ActionParsnipredviper: always check for documentation like that if you are unsure.17:16
TJ-talin1: and you can read the current boot-menu contents with "sudo efibootmgr -v"17:16
ActionParsnipredviper: i believe it is generated where your terminal is now. Run:   ls17:17
TJ-talin1: If the installer boots in EFI mode, you can install the package with "sudo apt-get install efibootmgr"17:17
ActionParsnipredviper: do you see the file?17:17
TJ-redviper: Are you using Trusty 64-bit? If you are you can simply download the 32-bit .deb file directly from Google - that works (on my system at least) - I just did that to test.17:17
talin1TJ-: ill try17:18

ActionParsnipredviper: its a desktop environment, you can run LXDE in Debian if you like17:27
ActionParsnipredviper: it replaces the Gnome + Compiz you have now, it uses LXDE and OpenBox by default17:27
TJ-redviper: "uname -p" will tell you which architecture the machine is, slowness on GUI systems is generally caused by the desktop environment demanding a good 3D accelerated GPU with drivers - default Ubuntu with the Unity DE is one-such, and makes use of lots of fancy transitions and blends that unless accelerated in hardware, make the machine feel slow and unresponsive17:28
Eduardo_forget windows, jajaja, julian-delphiki tks17:28
Eduardo_anyway its only Windows17:29

Artemis3inv3nt0r, yes, i would try main archive.ubuntu.com or such18:24
inv3nt0rArtemis3: Something like http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu should do?18:24
daftykinssakhre: how did you install virtualbox?18:24
daftykinssakhre: also, which version of ubuntu is this?18:24
Artemis3try and see inv3nt0r18:24
sakhredaftykins, software center. ubuntu 12.04. i updated the kernel and it stopped wroking.18:24

scumdogmoneyHi18:25
daftykinssakhre: try "ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools | sudo xargs -n1 /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start"18:27

daftykinshello.18:27
daftykinsscumdogmoney: do you have a support question?18:28
scumdogmoneyIs legalizing marijuana a good thing daftykins18:28
ldleworkget. out.18:28
coventry`sakhre: Try reinstalling virtualbox-dkms.  If that doesn't work, you might try asking on #vbox.  They will probably scold you if you're not using the official virtualbox packages, they deal with this kind of problem often.18:29
rwwscumdogmoney: let's stick to Ubuntu support, please.18:29
coventry`s/they deal/but they deal/18:29
sakhreproblem occurred while installing software. package: virtualbox-dkms18:30
daftykinscoventry`: there's no need to respond again to someone i already have done.18:30
daftykinssakhre: did you run my suggestion yet?18:30
sakhredaftykins, yes18:30
daftykinsand?18:30
daftykinsdid you see it regenerate modules?18:30
coventry`daftykins: Sorry, read things out of order.18:31
sakhredaftykins, yes, but an error window popped up ^18:31
daftykinssakhre: oh so that error came from that command, not coventry`'s suggestion18:31
daftykinssakhre: in a terminal can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms" and then pastebin the output to share to us via paste.ubuntu.com ?18:32

sakhredaftykins, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7926302/18:34
redviperWhere do I find and download ia32-libs package to install?18:34
rwwredviper: You don't. Modern Ubuntu releases use multiarch instead, where you identify which library/ies you actually need and then install the i386 version of them18:35
daftykinssakhre: can you now do "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox" please18:36
redviperrww: Well how do I do that then as I need that package, there is a dependency on my OS for that file18:36
zacgI am using ubuntu 14.04 lts as a guest os inside virtualbox. After a recent update I can no longer use virtual boxes auto-resize guest display feature, it is disabled in the view menu. I have tried reinstalling guest additions but that didn't fix it. Any ideas?18:36
rwwredviper: what are you trying to install?18:36
sakhredaftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7926316/18:36
redviperrww: Google Earth on a 64 bit OS. I don't quite know what to do or how to do it18:37
daftykinszacg: that'd be virtualbox support, not us so much18:37
MiltonHi, could someone help me?18:37
daftykinsMilton: ask a question first18:37
daftykinssakhre: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox*"18:37
MiltonMy Nokia Lumia 520 changed file-permissions on my MicroSDHC to read-only filesystem somehow. After digging a lot of forums I found that this is typical Windowsoid, and even that I found for Linux is not helpful for me. I formatted SD on Lumia, but still have WPSystem folder, in which I got WPSettings.dat. Unable to cut them, and to paste something over there. Of course, using GParted I see "Unable to format, read-only filesystem".18:37
deltwhat is the command that pops up the "software updates" window periodically? ie. how can i make it appear right now?18:37

rwwredviper: it may install the 32-bit depends automatically when you install the 32-bit version, I can't remember18:43
daftykinsMilton: what distro, version and desktop is that with? or, what file manager? 0o18:43
rwwardan_: yes, minus any used for e.g. video card shared memory18:43
daftykinsardan_: that shows 0's for me :D free -m works however18:44
daftykins(in a VM here though)18:44
redviperrww: So its worth the try, from the official Google Earth site?18:44
rwwredviper: with the 32-bit version, yes. the 64-bit version is not properly packaged for current Ubuntu18:44
Milton<daftykins> Xubuntu 14.04, Thunar is my favourite, Dell Inspiron18:44

redviperrww okay I will try now, internet is slow18:45
daftykinsMilton: i don't think that has MTP support built in18:45
ardan_how the hell do i use swap memory on a vps ?18:45
daftykinsardan_: talk to your provider18:46
ardan_they are gointg to tell me to upgrade my account for $20 a month!18:46
daftykinsto answer one question?18:46
daftykinssounds like you need to change provider.18:46
ardan_no, i need to increase the available ram i have.18:46
ikoniathen buy more ram18:46
ardan_sounds like a waste of money for 1 task.18:47
Miltondaftykins: in the past I'd installed gmtp manually, but actually not needed it. Everything was loading just fine18:47
ardan_eh, i'll figure something out.18:47

youngboyI have had a previous ubuntu 12version, which i uninstalled, and had a ubuntu boot haunting with windows. Then I manually deleted the boot through windows, I suspect it may have something to do with it19:10

daftykinsTrueNhero: ok so set it up in /etc/fstab , you can mount by UUID by getting the UUID from "sudo blkid"19:14
daftykinsjessejazza: the command you're grasping for is "/join #channelname"19:14
bpromptyoungboy:     hehe, is an ok.. yes... turn off a few things there, maybe is just hardware incompatibility with loading drivers19:15

ubottuForgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal.

Then I manually deleted the boot through windows, I suspect it may have something to do with it19:15
daftykinsTrueNhero: that is nothing to do with what i'm telling you to do.19:15

daftykinsLartza: yes, someone did it here the other day - don't remember the answer though. dig in the man page19:17

g1jessejazza: /server "server name", then /join #channelname19:17
cisswhy does http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts still not list 14.04, even though the point release has been published?19:17
youngboyeject cd19:17
LartzaFound it yeah19:18
daftykinsciss: perhaps that's the wrong doc.19:18
TrueNherodaftykins: the UUID is ok19:18
bpromptyoungboy:     hmm.... usually when the GUI starts off something in the background... you can press ESC to remove the UI and check processing lines on the background19:18
daftykinsTrueNhero: you need to *create* a *new line* in fstab with the UUID and options for sdb119:18

ubottujgcampbell300: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.19:20

LartzaHow is it on19:37

LartzaI need it, it's not for general use19:38
ikoniait is dsiabled by default due to sensible security model19:38
ikoniathere are almost no situations to "need it"19:38
Lartzaalso with keys it's relatively safe19:38
ikoniayou do not need it19:38
LartzaI don't have a regular user :P19:38

daftykinsi don't see any reason not to.20:26
daftykinsyou could have /var live on another disk20:26
etronikikonia, because I think that integrated install might set everything up ready to play in default locations, where individual install might allow for better configuration - I don't know that's why I'm asking20:26
ikonianot everything can follow symlinks and the apache internal permissions20:26

I tried restarting the machine, but the network does not go up.

MoPacHello, I am installing on a fresh drive, and I will be putting Ubuntu in a LUKS container. Question: Do I need to create an EFI boot partition *and* a separate partition that has the actual kernel on it and should be mounted at /boot? Or does the new "EFI boot partition" do everything that the old boot partitions did?21:47
BeldarMoPac, Ubuntu has a auto efi install I would assume this is the same eith a luks install21:48
Beldarwith*21:48
MoPacBeldar: Well, I'm also leaving some space at the end of the disk for a different OS, so I didn't want to do the auto install, even though it could include LUKS21:48
hakimhello all.. i am having issues with automounting 2 extra harddrives..when i boot it says "the disk for /mnt/xxxxx" is not ready yet or not present" continue to wait or press s to skip mounting... it wont boot until i press s.. then it will eventually mount by itself.21:49
BeldarMoPac, Have an image/clone and backups of the others OS's to cover any contigency, and recover discs.21:49

MoPacBeldar: This is a fresh drive -- there's nothing at all on it at the moment. I just don't want to have to resize partitions later21:49

BeldarMoPac, Sure, I'm not up on efi manual installs is all.21:50
MoPacWhat I'm wondering is: will the stuff that a legacy system writes to "/boot" now be written to the EFI boot partition? Or is the EFI boot partition just a new object in the cascade, so it will point to a /boot partition, and then the decryption will happen?21:51
feldoh2gomy issue is i really want to get to 14, but nothing would install directly on to the computer...untill i went way back to a live 10.04 that i had from years back.21:51
BeldarMoPac, legacy would be mbr21:51

hakimTJ: what do i do to fix that?22:19
Beldarlorenx, Running a update now to see, however that would be an unusual anomaly.22:19
TJ-hakim: make the mountpoint directory unique. The problem you have though, is you're trying to have the additional file-systems mount on pass 0.... that is reserved for the kernel file-systems like /proc. You need to change the pass numbers to 2, so they mount *after* the root file-system (which is mounted on pass 1)22:19
TJ-hakim: Look at line #7 - that shows the 'column' titles .... change the numbers under the "<pass>" column for your additional file-systems from "0" to "2"22:20
hakimTJ: sorry dude... i understand what your saying but i dont know what to edit to fix that22:21
hakimok22:21
lorenxBeldar: yeah, i think so... i've also tryed the 4.3.0.37 from http://goo.gl/CjhtzJ but it seems it has some problems :)22:21

TrueNherodaftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7927869/22:21

hakimi didnt edit this file at all @TJ22:22
TJ-hakim: Well, whatever did... throw it away ... as *far* as possible because it has seriously broken the fstab22:23

TJ-hakim: Insert additional spaces if you need to, to make the columns align better. Tabs or spaces are allowed as separators.22:24
daftykinsTrueNhero: assuming that's your username, "truenhero", you have read-write access and permissions look ok.22:24
hakimi have it opened in gedit22:25
Beldarlorenx, I have the one from the skype site however never use it I use it in windows, either install does not pull up my 3rd part cam.22:25

helloreisio what more?22:43
helloI might know which files to check22:43
Beldarlorenx, should give more info or return to how the cli starts, try sudo apt-get -f install  I wonder if you have a broken install.22:43
helloso it wont check all22:43
hellosaves time22:43
reisiohello: yes, that would save time22:43
helloreisio are u good with regex?22:44
lorenxBeldar: i don't have any broken thing, apt is fine... it just propose the 4.3 version now... and this sounds weird22:44
Beldarlorenx, How do you know you do not?22:44
helloI am using sudo find -type f -name "*.*" -exec sed -i 's/Votes//g' {} \; to erase Votes text string, however for next step I want to erase text string only from specific files22:44
helloand keep it in da rest22:45
hello:)22:45
lorenxcause all command run fine, update, install, purge, autoremove, autoclean...22:45
daftykinsTrueNhero: it definitely matches your username, yes?22:45
reisiohello: you can 'find' specific files22:45
TrueNherodaftykins: yes it is22:46
hellothing is many files share same string22:46
Beldarlorenx, I have had broken installs and all those run fine, it is if you are reading the cli correctly, the command I gave you is just a check, worth running.22:46
daftykinsreisio / Beldar i could definitely use a second opinion on this one if you could22:46
helloits required to remove it only from a specific type of files22:46
TJ-hello: it might be safer to use "-execdir" instead of "-exec"22:46
helloTJ how come?22:46
lorenxoh, you mean sudo apt-get -f install? yeah, i've already run it also, sorry ;)22:47
hellolinux overload here lol22:47

mikemikemikeI'm planning on installing Ubuntu using only 1 partition. It is easy later on to say, add a swap and home partition?22:47
hakimno22:47
daftykinsreisio or TJ- - /dev/sdb1 has write issues - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7927798/ - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7927869/ - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7928012/ <-- path is non-writable by user with 'touch /media/sea60a/testfile' - ?22:48
hakimnot all just 2 @ TJ-22:48
daftykinsi see nothing wrong.22:48
TrueNherodaftykins: the strange part is that when i delete or do something with files, the permission change22:48
Beldarmikemikemike, You can separate out home yes and make a swap, just be sure you have an understanding of tyoes of partitions and the limitations on a single HD.22:48
reisiodaftykins: what user?22:48
Beldartypes*22:48
mikemikemikeBeldar:Thanks! :)22:49
daftykinsreisio: the one the path is owned by22:49
Beldarmikemikemike,If that makes no sense say so. ;)22:49
reisiodaftykins: that's no kind of answer :p22:49
Beldarbazinga22:49
mikemikemikeIt does. I have 16GB RAM, so figure it's not really needed.22:50
daftykinsreisio: lol, sure it is - "truenhero"22:50
TJ-hakim: OK, well I've added them in ... you can either comment-them out with a "#" at the start of each line, or delete them, as needed. Also, read the comment I've left for the last 2 lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7928076/22:50
hakimok thanks22:50
reisiodaftykins: you try unmounting it and remounting it?22:50
Beldarmikemikemike, Generally I set the swappiness to 10, but I have only 3 gigs.22:51
mikemikemikeSwappieness being the size of the swap partition>22:51
daftykinsTrueNhero: they change? how?22:51
reisiomikemikemike: what?22:51
bekksmikemikemike: Swapiness has nothing to do with the size of the swap partition.22:51
Beldarmikemikemike, No when it starts to swap.22:51
daftykinsreisio: the user in here is TrueNhero - we did do a remount rw before, not sure if we tested it22:52
Beldar!swap | mikemikemike look here22:52
ubottumikemikemike look here: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info22:52
mikemikemikeAlright. then I don't understand what swappiness. means.22:52
reisiodaftykins: how about a 'umount', followed by an explicit 'mount'22:52
mikemikemikeThabnks for the link.22:52
Beldarno prob22:52
mikemikemikeWill read that FAQ.22:52
daftykinsreisio: roger that, TrueNhero try the above ^22:53
TJ-daftykins: TrueNhero I'd be checking "cat /proc/mounts" in case the file system was remounted read-only, and I'd be checking the device hasn't slipped its write-protect switch on22:53
mikemikemikeAlso, I have a spare partition with 20GB~. If I install Ubuntu on there, will dual boot with my Windows partition automatically be configures where I'll see the Grub screen?22:53
daftykinsTJ-: ty sir22:53
Beldarmikemikemike, Grub should show all bootable partitions.22:54
mikemikemikeAlright. Just checking.22:55

BlasterThis happens when I simply try to sign in to Skype.23:09
reisioBlaster: you could try mv'ing ~/.skype (or whatever) and let it make a new one23:10
TJ-hakim: No. If you get failed to mount it is because the storage devices haven't been found, *or* the directories you've defined as the mount points do *not* exist. Have you previously created those directories ("ls /mnt/" will show what is there) ?23:10
svetlanaBlaster, what reisio said, and probably start it from terminal so that it logs something ... iirc they don't have a 14.04 release yet tho23:10

usr13Guest63296: Or what?23:20
Guest63296usr13: yes23:20
TJ-hakim: try "sudo blkid" and compare all the UUIDs of the connected devices with the fstab entries. If you have an fstab UUID that isn't reported by blkid, that'll be your problem. Either have that device connected, or remove/comment it in fstab23:20

TrueNheroi have the dl.exe problem on wine...23:20
