| Matt23456 | TJ: puts me in a shell? | 00:00 |
| TJ- | littledude: No, dhclient is launched by Network Manager after the network is started | 00:00 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: my typo! | 00:00 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: try "hash -p /usr/local/bin/yasm yasm " | 00:01 |
| littledude | TJ- so what could be the cause then ? | 00:01 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: k, did that...still same error, lol! | 00:01 |
| littledude | the whole / is mounted rw | 00:02 |
| littledude | and if I kill and restart dhclient, it works | 00:02 |
| littledude | It's only during the boot that it happens. | 00:02 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: OK, then your compiler script has hard-coded the binary path it seems | 00:02 |
| lccadmin | I've got vlc set up to capture audio and video. Has anyone ever used ubuntu to take somethiing like that and get it onto google hangouts? | 00:02 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: "hash -lt yasm" will show you what bash has cached | 00:02 |
| TJ- | littledude: Do you have a separate file-system for /var/ ? | 00:03 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: yasm not found... | 00:03 |
| littledude | no | 00:03 |
| littledude | it's on / | 00:03 |
| kmyst | is there a build log you can save when you compile a source deb? | 00:04 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: that means you've cleared the cache... it'll be re-added next time it is called. Run the compile, let it call yasm, break the make, and then check what it is set to now, if anything | 00:04 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : tried DD, reinstalling now, will see what happens.....looks like that little partition went away | 00:05 |
| TJ- | kmyst: "fakeroot debian/rules binary 2>&1 | tee /tmp/build.log" | 00:05 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: still yasm not found... | 00:05 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: must be hard coded then, in the Makefile | 00:05 |
| Bashing-om | unclescratchie: Well, That was quick ! .. good luck . | 00:05 |
| kmyst | TJ-: ugh, i was afraid of that :/ | 00:05 |
| kmyst | TJ-: gonna have to recompile eh? | 00:05 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : if this works the next thing will be to get the wifi working | 00:06 |
| TJ- | kmyst: Did you do a customised build? | 00:06 |
| TJ- | kmyst: If it is the default package build, you could look at the build logs on launchpad for that package-version | 00:06 |
| kmyst | TJ-: nah, pulled down latest samba source in precise (3.6.3) tried to compile and it fails, i need to compile it with a new flag but if this can't build i'm up a creek ;) | 00:07 |
| kmyst | TJ-: that's an idea i hadn't thought of that... | 00:07 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : nope still died at boot loader install, lets finish without installing boot and try a manual install | 00:08 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: I don't see any yasm references in the make? | 00:09 |
| Bashing-om | unclescratchie: If it works, the easiest thing to get WIFI working is get the lap top to a wired connection and update/upgrade the software. A real good chance the WIFI drivers will be loaded then. | 00:09 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: hang on! Those instructions for building yasm have "--bindir="$HOME/bin" " and the later instructions to build ffmpeg also have "--bindir="$HOME/bin" " | 00:10 |
| alejandro_ | vatos que onda morros | 00:10 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: I don't follow? | 00:11 |
| alejandro_ | me la jale y salio leche | 00:11 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: So if yasm wasn't installed to "$HOME/bin/" then the $PATH will take precedence ... doesn't explain why it seems to miss "/user/local/bin" unless that isn't in the $PATH right now, or not ahead of "/usr/bin" | 00:11 |
| Bashing-om | unclescratchie: Are you doing a standard install, or getting fancy with directing the installer for particular partitioning ? | 00:12 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: Is there an easy fix? | 00:12 |
| dexx | lads I have a question | 00:13 |
| kmyst | TJ-: where they hide the build log? found the source on launchpad | 00:13 |
| dexx | here in ubuntu, if I hover my mouse over a gif it starts autoplay, which I don't always like... how do I cancel it? | 00:13 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : just a standard install, still having a problem that small partition is gone but I still cant delete the other partitions | 00:13 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: I'm trying to figure out why yasm's configure points to the $HOME/bin when nothing else has been installed at that point, but regardless of that, it should be installing its binaries under "--prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" | 00:14 |
| kmyst | TJ-: nm got it :) | 00:14 |
| Bashing-om | unclescratchie: " I still cant delete the other partitions" are you using GParted from within the install ? or from the liveDVD ? | 00:15 |
| MikeM_ | Is there an ubuntu-md discussion? | 00:15 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: I can't understand why the 12.04 package manager is still running with the old version in the repos | 00:16 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : from live cd but gparted not working, must be some kind of write protect on all of it | 00:16 |

| Matt23456 | ah | 00:17 |
| unclescratchie | Bashing-om, : sorry have to go ....thanks for the help | 00:18 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: I appreciate your time! | 00:18 |
| Bashing-om | unclescratchie: IF the partitions you are attempting to delete are 'logical' that reside in the "extended" container-> a) is it that 'extended' partition; or b) is the swap partition active ( key icon in the GParted window) on the partitions you are trying to delete ? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: I just built yasm, and ran "yasm --version" and now "hash -lt yasm" reports "builtin hash -p /home/tj/bin/yasm yasm" | 00:19 |
| MikeM_ | Is there an ubuntu discussion specific to ubuntu-md? | 00:19 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: can you share your yasm build commands? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: Identical to the Wiki. I think your problem is, the instructions add "$HOME/bin" to the end of the path; it needs to be at the front to beat /usr/bin/yasm from being found. Do "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" and try "yasm --version" again | 00:20 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: ignore that!!! | 00:21 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: too late... | 00:21 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: I wrote it wrong way around, too LOL ... "export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" !! | 00:21 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: that fixed the version! | 00:21 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Looks like the PPA builds failed. :/ | 00:21 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: oh well, it won't hurt to be at both ends :) It'll go away next time you log-out :) | 00:21 |
| TJ- | Matt23456: Yup... their instructions for the PATH are reversed to what they need | 00:22 |
| Matt23456 | TJ: THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! | 00:22 |

| TJ- | chmrr: Doesn't look good; leak test seems to have failed | 00:29 |
| chmrr | TJ-: My wild guess is that the first hunk of the patch you applied is enough to fix the segfault. The fourth is the memory leak, and the middle two may depend on other commits | 00:29 |
| chmrr | Interesting that there are leak tests for that codepath, but that they didn't trigger the segfault | 00:29 |
| TJ- | chmrr: leak tests typically wrap the library being tested with their own malloc/free implementations, similar to valgrind | 00:30 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I'll take a look again tomorrow, and maybe someone else will have taken a look too by then | 00:31 |
| chmrr | Sure, but they require exercising the library in order to test the various malloc/free calls | 00:31 |
| chmrr | Which should have nominally found the free-without-malloc as well | 00:31 |

| cfhowlett | Hilikus, system > update manager settings | 03:08 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Thanks -- I'll keep an eye on the builds | 03:12 |
| ramrebol | Beldar: I'm trying to install that, but dont works. I suposse that is because is outdated | 03:12 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Any idea why those didn't trigger for the previous build? | 03:13 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I'm hoping my fixes for the previous patches will deal with the test-suite failure... can't be sure until it completes though, it's weird stuff | 03:13 |
| TJ- | chmrr: No idea, but the main archive builders can have things like tests ignored | 03:13 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Once this is done, I'm going to build the .14 without any changes here and see if it does build or not, to be certain | 03:14 |
| Beldar | ramrebol, Possibly so, you might run a search for another, the extensions are user made so are available when people contribute. | 03:14 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I'm wondering though, how the update can be applied, if apt-get is SIGSEGV-ing | 03:15 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Hm. Except upstream _did_ take the memmem change as-is. And IIRC there are other feof() calls already in there | 03:15 |
| ala-lala | chmrr: (off-topic) Where did you get your nick from? | 03:15 |
| chmrr | TJ-: I'll scp it and dpkg -i it | 03:15 |
| chmrr | ala-lala: Star Control II | 03:15 |
| ala-lala | I got mine from that too. | 03:15 |
| ala-lala | I totally love that game. | 03:16 |
| ramrebol | Beldar: | 03:16 |
| ramrebol | I have looked for another, but I found none. | 03:16 |
| chmrr | What, an Arilou name? :) | 03:16 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I know you can, but the archive updates need to be possible without manual intervention... I'm thinking a pre-inst script that simply removes "/etc/services" out of the way until the update is done. If the file isn't there, the memory won't be allocated | 03:16 |
| ala-lala | No | 03:16 |
| ala-lala | A Supox name. | 03:16 |
| ala-lala | It's the name of the supox captain you first meet. | 03:16 |
| chmrr | <3 me some Supox. | 03:16 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I'll test that in a VM tomorrow once I've made some progress | 03:16 |
| Beldar | ramrebol, Ah, I guess the web is your oyster grasshopper. ;) | 03:17 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Yeaaaaaah, I don't know how to automatically fix folks who get into my state. The problem is you can't get as far as _getting_ any pre-insta script if apt-get horks. | 03:17 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Are you able to test the bug itself now, by simply renaming "/etc/services" and seeing if the SIGSEGV still happens? | 03:18 |
| chmrr | Sure; one sec. | 03:18 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Thanks, if that works we can add to the pre-inst script | 03:19 |
| chmrr | TJ-: No dice; same failure | 03:19 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Darn! | 03:19 |
| TJ- | chmrr: maybe nsswitch needs changing to just "file" temporarily, too ? | 03:20 |
| TJ- | chmrr: my thinking then is, it will only look for /etc/services, which won't exist, so it'll return | 03:20 |
| chmrr | Nope. It's already just "db files" | 03:20 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Grrr :p | 03:20 |
| TJ- | chmrr: try loosing the "db" | 03:21 |
| chmrr | I did, and both with and without /etc/services it's the same | 03:21 |
| chmrr | :/ | 03:21 |
| TJ- | chmrr: OK ... build completed :) | 03:21 |
| chmrr | Looks like sa sadface on amd64. :/ | 03:22 |

| ala-lala | heh | 03:29 |
| TJ- | chmrr: There's something strange. A build of the plain .14 will help here | 03:30 |

| Bashing-om | Basketball: Check out: apt-cache show software-properties-gtk, that seems to be compatible with most releases. To install -> sudo apt-get install software-properties-gtk <- . | 03:33 |

| cfhowlett | user123321, got it. | 03:33 |
| Basketball | Bashing-om, that doesnt install it | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | user123321, "archive manager" does that, does it not? | 03:34 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Fascinating. Yeah, OK, I think we can file this as "not our problem" then, as long as it doesn't fail any _additional_ changes. | 03:34 |
| user123321 | cfhowlett, Oh does it? I'll check it, since I'm having LUbuntu. | 03:35 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Yeah... back to the original patch then! | 03:36 |
| TJ- | chmrr: But, still can't build it unless we can figure out how they suppress the build errors | 03:36 |
| Bashing-om | Basketball: I did not want it // but I just did install it ... do not know what I can say .. what errors are you getting ? | 03:37 |
| Basketball | Bashing-om, software-properties-gtk is already the newest version. | 03:38 |
| Basketball | software-properties-gtk set to manually installed. | 03:38 |
| Basketball | 03:38 | |
| user123321 | Oh, I already have archive manager. :D | 03:38 |
| chmrr | TJ-: I suspect that ubuntu-security will know the right incants in that regard. Have you heard back from them at all? | 03:38 |
| chmrr | I'm currently compiling upstream to see if it passes its own localplt test | 03:39 |
| fsof | TJ-: there? | 03:39 |
| Bashing-om | Basketball: What is held ? -> apt-mark showholds <- . | 03:40 |
| fsof | Also, have anyone in here used ubuntus signed bootloader to load other distros? | 03:40 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Not so far | 03:41 |
| Basketball | Bashing-om, how do i run that | 03:41 |
| Beldar | fsof, The bootloader I believe is open source others use it. | 03:42 |
| Bashing-om | Basketball: "apt-mark showholds" is a terminal command to list what the package manager has marked as "manual" ..let's look . | 03:42 |
| TJ- | chmrr: That builder log I linked you to last, that *was* the upstream build as uploaded by the security team | 03:42 |
| fsof | Beldar: yes, but the kernel of other distros may not be signed | 03:42 |
| Beldar | fsof, Err a dollar was paid to fork it anyway I think | 03:42 |
| fsof | Beldar: can the signed loader load unsigned kernels? | 03:42 |
| Beldar | no idea | 03:42 |
| Basketball | Bashing-om, it doesnt show anything | 03:42 |
| fsof | Beldar: a dollar? | 03:43 |
| chmrr | TJ-: That was the latest security release from Ubuntu, I thought. I mean straight from glibc's git repo. | 03:43 |
| Nonato | Ahhh | 03:43 |

| fsof | Beldar: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=err+a+dollar+was+paid+to+fork+it&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1 | 03:47 |
| fsof | Beldar: nothing stands out | 03:47 |
| TJ- | chmrr: Precisely. That log - with its failed test-suite - shows it continued to build even after the test-suite failures, and generated the binaries that were copied into the main archive. I have no idea how to reproduce that ignoring the failure | 03:48 |
| TJ- | chmrr: the link to the build status page that in turn links to that log is here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6221477 | 03:48 |
| chmrr | TJ-: Yeah, I get that somehow the release team's build of -0ubuntu7.14 kept right on going despite the test failures, and we don't know how to emulate that. I'm currently curious about the introduction of memmem into the upstream glibc.git repo, and how that has _ever_ passed their localplt test | 03:50 |
| Beldar | fsof, probably closer, that was some terrible foo you used. http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/ | 03:51 |
| chmrr | Determining to finish the build despite the test failures is the more productive thing to do, but one that I have precisely zero insight into; hence why I'm poking at the underlying localplt problem | 03:51 |
| TJ- | chmrr: I followed the upstream guidance on tracking down and fixing the PLT entries | 03:52 |
| fsof | Beldar: terrible foo as specifically? | 03:53 |
| Beldar | Nonato, The key here is clear details for help. | 03:53 |
| chmrr | TJ-: The wiki I linked to? Right. Except the memmem is _still_ in HEAD of glibc.git, and it's not in the localplt file. Sooo do the upstream devs not care about their trunk not passing tests, as well? | 03:54 |
| Beldar | fsof, You just quoted what I said with no reference to secure boot...etc. All of what I said was a I think scenario anyway | 03:54 |
| TJ- | chmrr: It seems that way doesn't it? but if so, why is the package build allowed to fail - why no patch to explicitly allow it, like the other patches that do similar | 03:55 |
| Nonato | i have some problems to instal ubuntu 8.10 | 03:55 |

| Nonato | :( | 03:56 |
| Beldar | Nonato, Those are end of life you want 12.04 or 14.04 | 03:56 |
| OerHeks | Lubuntu can | 03:56 |
| Beldar | Nonato, Go xubuntu or lubuntu | 03:56 |

| Nonato | I have once 12.04 | 03:56 |
| Nonato | but now I cant buy an a new computer | 03:57 |
| Nonato | I will thin about it | 03:58 |
| Nonato | did u know about hayra? | 03:58 |
| TJ- | chmrr: OK, I've figured out why the sbuild from the repos doesn't match what is in the builders! The package sbuild provides /usr/bin/sbuild (a PERL script) whereas the sbuild in the builder is a Python script from the repo launchpad-buildd | 03:59 |
| Beldar | Nonato, Do you understand Portuguese I see no Galician channels, your english is rather broken is all. | 04:00 |
| TJ- | chmrr: correction, a different PERL script in launchpad-buildd | 04:00 |

| Your_Dog | well i didnt follow the guide, i just use the updater it has bundled on | 05:10 |
| Your_Dog | since i wanted to get firefox 31 and 13.04 doesnt have it | 05:10 |
| Your_Dog | so i decided to upgrade | 05:11 |
| metaspike | .. that sucks. any custom repos? | 05:11 |
| Your_Dog | well yeah but not by alot | 05:11 |
| Your_Dog | its just code::blocks and aside from that is a ps2 emulator | 05:12 |
| metaspike | because third party repositories may be incompatible with the new version, you should remove them first, then try to upgrade. you will loose whatever came with them of course | 05:12 |
| Your_Dog | well yeah the updater did warn me that and it did it for me | 05:13 |
| Your_Dog | right now since it failed halfway with the update, i cant boot the system, my only choices are reinstall the os or find a fix | 05:14 |
| Your_Dog | i tried some methods like sudo dpkg --configure a | 05:14 |
| Your_Dog | but it says that those programs are readonly | 05:14 |
| metaspike | you need to do something to make it read/write | 05:14 |
| metaspike | from safemode | 05:15 |
| metaspike | maybe: mount -o remount,rw / | 05:15 |
| metaspike | then, dpkg-reconfigure --all | 05:15 |
| Your_Dog | ok doing it | 05:16 |
| metaspike | then tap your heels together | 05:17 |
| metaspike | and say "there's no place like home" | 05:18 |

| kevinfish | how do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/wRnuaTkz | 05:21 |
| metaspike | hmm maybe just "apt-get install" would have been less slegehammerish | 05:21 |
| Your_Dog | can't, it tells me that package lists or status faile could not be parsed or open | 05:23 |
| Bashing-om | kevinfish: "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main" raring is End_Of_Life. Disable the repository. and now what results -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- ? | 05:23 |
| metaspike | Your_Dog, apt-get clean | 05:24 |
| metaspike | or sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf | 05:25 |
| metaspike | erm. rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf | 05:25 |
| Your_Dog | ok we seem have the problem | 05:25 |
| Your_Dog | both gives me errors | 05:25 |
| Your_Dog | but the latter, tells me in detail that we can do it because its read-only file system | 05:26 |

| kostodo | I need to create 2 users who will be able to fully manage files inside /var/www | 05:43 |
| kostodo | Whats the best way of going about that | 05:43 |
| Bashing-om | Your_Dog: metaspike :: check /etc/apt/sources.list.d directoty also . | 05:43 |
| kostodo | Both users will be web developers who will have to upload files there, delete them, change, edit, etc. | 05:43 |
| Beldar | Your_Dog this command will list all sources. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 05:44 |
| Your_Dog | well atm | 05:45 |
| Your_Dog | i cant do anything | 05:45 |
| Your_Dog | aside to wait for apt-get install to finish | 05:45 |
| metaspike | it takes longer if you watch the kettle boil | 05:46 |
| Your_Dog | yeah sure does | 05:46 |
| * Beldar imagines Zippy the Pinhead watching the dryer spin | 05:46 | |
| metaspike | kostodo, the BEST way would be to have /var/www on a seperate partition | 05:47 |
| metaspike | and mount those with proper access in fstab | 05:47 |
| metaspike | then make that the root dir of their access channels | 05:49 |
| kostodo | metaspike: Its not so much security that I’m concerned with. Its more that I want two different users to be able to seamlessly work on the files together | 05:49 |
| kostodo | metaspike: in the past often end up with permission errors | 05:49 |
| kostodo | if one user made files the other couldnt access them | 05:50 |
| punkgeek | any body can help me how to set domain dns on apache? | 05:51 |
| metaspike | besides basic file change notifications from the IDE itself, i don't know anyway around that, besides a proper svn or git setup | 05:52 |
| svetlana | punkgeek, what's your question? there is #httpd, but they require you to register with nickserv to speak. | 05:53 |

| tiny | After a painful upgrade from 10.10 Maverick to 11.04 natty laptop just powers off at booting OS. | 07:21 |
| tiny | How do I get some verbosity from bootloader? | 07:21 |
| tiny | I also tried with fresh install of 14.04 LTS but nothing shows up after DVD "boots" ... blank screen | 07:22 |
| tiny | DVD works on other laptop | 07:23 |
| Beldar | tiny, Technically only 12.04 and 14.04 are supported any other is not calling the ubuntu repos | 07:23 |
| tiny | Beldar: yes, I used old-releases.ubuntu.com repo | 07:24 |
| Beldar | tiny, Did you check the 14.04's sum and or try a nomodeset boot? | 07:24 |
| tiny | anyway ... it's weird that laptop just shuts off after BIOS handles it to grub/OS | 07:24 |
| tiny | Beldar: DVD works on another laptop, hmm nomodeset, that could be the cause | 07:25 |
| Beldar | tiny, old-releases do not have the updates | 07:25 |
| tiny | Beldar: yes, I was trying to avoid fresh install... since 10.10 wasn't supported and the only way to get to latest releases is trough 11.04 -> 11.10 ... current | 07:26 |
| tiny | anyway ... how do I set nomodeset? | 07:26 |
| tiny | /etc/grub.d/... | 07:26 |
| tiny | ? | 07:26 |
| Beldar | tiny, Sure, what is the gaphic hardware and have you looked on the web with any of the releases and otyher hardware or computer model? | 07:27 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | tiny | 07:27 |
| ubottu | tiny: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:27 |
| Beldar | tiny, is the install grub legacy or grub 2 | 07:28 |
| neo1691 | I want to swap my caps key with esc. I have modified my /etc/default/keyboard accordingly and then using dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, I am able to swap the keys correctly. only problem is that the changes are lost on a reboot. Any help | 07:28 |
| tiny | Beldar: I think it's grub2, stuff is stored in /etc/grub.d/ (I hate grub btw, it became an uncontrollable monster) | 07:29 |
| tiny | I use isolinux on mine | 07:29 |
| Beldar | tiny, grub is simple and /etc/grub.d/ is not where you mess with it. | 07:30 |
| tiny | grub is everything but simple ... who want's to play with configuration of bootloader? It should just load the OS and that's it. | 07:30 |
| eeee | neo1691: just use xmodmap and set it in ~/.profile | 07:31 |
| tiny | time is precious | 07:31 |
| tiny | Beldar: anyway, thanks I will look into setting that option | 07:31 |
| Beldar | tiny, your preaching yet have no working OS. | 07:31 |
| neo1691 | eeee: ok, I am using bspwm so the autostart file should also work, I guess | 07:31 |
| Beldar | may have been a simple nomodeset on 14.04 | 07:31 |
| tiny | Beldar: I have couple hounder working Linux OSes, thank you | 07:31 |
| Beldar | and driver installs | 07:31 |
| tiny | houndred* | 07:32 |
| tiny | so how do you set nomodeset on live DVD? :) | 07:32 |
| Beldar | welcome to the club. ;) | 07:32 |
| Beldar | read the link | 07:32 |
| tiny | ok, ok | 07:32 |
| eeee | neo1691: i guess, if it doesn't the command is xmodmap -e "keycode 66=Escape" | 07:32 |
| tiny | link says "If you boot ubuntu from a livecd (or USB stick), right after the bios splash screen you will get a purple screen with a keyboard logo at the bottom:" | 07:33 |

| Guido1 | 09:17:47 - U kunt geen berichten sturen naar ##hardware. | 07:33 |
| Beldar | tiny, Do you get the try ubuntu install or memory check options | 07:34 |
| tiny | nope | 07:34 |
| Beldar | that is what you should see with a disc boot | 07:34 |
| tiny | I know, but I don't even get the chance to setup grub options | 07:35 |

| Raboo | hi | 08:09 |
| Isvara | I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 to a SanDisk SSD. I'm trying to scp across some DVD images, and performance drops by about 90% after a few megabyte. Writes in general are slow, slow, slow. | 08:09 |
| Isvara | I've run fstrim, and I've added discard in my fstab. Neither of those have helped. | 08:10 |
| Raboo | I have a server that hangs randomly, I've installed linux-crashdump and kexec_crash is loaded. But when my machine hangs i got no dump in /var/crash | 08:10 |
| Raboo | what is my next step? | 08:11 |
| Isvara | scp has gone from 60MB/s to 4MB/s :-/ | 08:11 |
| jasabella | /last mtrr | 08:11 |
| jasabella | er | 08:11 |
| Raboo | Isvara maybe it's an network issue or iptables issue | 08:12 |
| Raboo | have you done a local copy to that ssd to see if it drops when files doesn't go thru network | 08:12 |
| trijntje | Isvara: try dd if=/dev/zero of=empty_file bs=1M count=10240, that will create an empty file 10GB in size, how long does that take? | 08:13 |
| Isvara | It's all writes. I'm using that as an example because the files are big enough for it to be dramatic (and it happens to show the transfer speed.) | 08:14 |
| jasabella | hi | 08:14 |
| jasabella | how do i 'fix' my mtrr? | 08:15 |
| Isvara | trijntje: That would take all night! So far up to 114MB... | 08:15 |
| Isvara | 200MB | 08:16 |
| tiny | Isvara: you should use "conv=fdatasync" or "oflag=dsync " with that dd command to ensure syncing to disk before dd(1) returns. | 08:17 |
| trijntje | Isvara: that is slow, but I don't know what could be the issue. Just let the command run so you have a good measurement, if you mention scp everybody is gonna think its because of the network ;) | 08:17 |
| tiny | I'd also use bigger block size ... | 08:18 |
| Isvara | I'm pretty sure this is specifically an SSD issue. Reads are as fast as you'd expect. | 08:18 |
| tiny | Isvara: so have you ran the dd command? | 08:18 |
| Isvara | tiny: I did. It's about at about 500MB so far. | 08:19 |
| tiny | I see. That's _slow_! | 08:20 |

| APV | Need some help. My fan stopped changing speed, now it constantly runs on the slowest one, even when cpu is near critical temperature. It is not dusty, I clean it about every one or two months, nor it is noisy, nor it has any problems starting up. | 09:46 |

| APV | cristian_c, I had similar problem, nothing helped, but it was fixed after I mounted it on win7 and it asked to check for problems, it found something and fixed it. Not the very unix-ey way, but, whatever helps. | 09:51 |

I followed this guide to doing it manually. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering_Your_Data_Manually but after I mounted it, I could see all the file/dir names but there were ? symbols all over the permissions and user ownership columns of ls -la. And I could not cat the files nor enter the directories. | 10:42 |
| APV | It crashed once on the loading screen, so it is probably not OS problem, the fans control is somewhere deeper. :) Checked BIOS, but nothing concerning fan there :( | 10:42 |

| cfhowlett | !mini | atar yes, usb compliant | 10:53 |
| ubottu | atar yes, usb compliant: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.

| cristian_c | slitux____, I don't know what to do for formatting | 12:13 |
| slitux____ | so, to sumarize, you're not able to format it with gpartred, but may-be you should try with your camera :D | 12:14 |
| cristian_c | slitux____, ok | 12:14 |
| funkt | Hi there I recently did a hardware update and I restarted my desktop to find my screen display locked to 640 x 480 and no way of being able to access many windows in ubuntu because of the locked screen size could anyone help? | 12:14 |
| cristian_c | slitux____, now, I get on my camera: 'card not usable' | 12:15 |

| cristian_c | slitux____, and files too | 12:18 |
| cristian_c | :-/ | 12:19 |
| slitux____ | ok, and if you unmount the card with your file manager, (can you ?) | 12:19 |
| eeee | funkt: type xrandr in the terminal | 12:19 |
| cristian_c | slitux____, now, If I unmount the device from file manager, it disappears | 12:20 |

| cristian_c | slitux____, no | 12:22 |
| cristian_c | only sda | 12:22 |
| cristian_c | because it's not mounted | 12:22 |
| slitux____ | but it sould apears, even if it's not mounted, because the card is connected | 12:23 |
| slitux____ | *should | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | slitux____, no, if I open gparted and the card is not mounted, gparted doesn't show me it | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | it's normal | 12:23 |
| tiny | no it's not | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | lol | 12:23 |
| slitux____ | and what does the 'head /dev/sdb' returns | 12:24 |

| cristian_c | tiny, the problem it's very strange | 12:34 |
| cristian_c | tiny, the story: 1) a day i inserted the micro-sd card in an android device and I got errors | 12:35 |
| cristian_c | tiny, 2) whe | 12:35 |
| cristian_c | tiny, when I plugged to a pc, i had superblock error | 12:35 |
| eeee | funkt: try xrandr -s 800x600 | 12:36 |
| eeee | funkt: does it change? | 12:36 |
| cristian_c | tiny, 3) I was suggested to use fsck | 12:36 |
| cristian_c | tiny, 4) I did a dd backup of the card to my pc | 12:36 |
| Guest91621 | NO AND IT SAYS xrandr -s 800x600 | 12:36 |
| cristian_c | tiny, 5) I executed the fsck | 12:36 |
| Guest91621 | Size 800x600 not found in available modes | 12:36 |
| ObrienDave | latest drivers for your card? | 12:37 |
| funkt | thanks for all your help eeee | 12:37 |
| funkt | no change! | 12:37 |
| cristian_c | tiny, 6) then <cristian_c> now I can mount the micro-sd card, but folders and files are empty and have got strange names | 12:38 |
| cristian_c | tiny, now, I was suggested to format the card and do a reverse backup from dd | 12:38 |
| cristian_c | tiny, any ideas to format it? | 12:39 |
| funkt | Any more ideas eeee? | 12:39 |
| eeee | funkt: try xrandr --output default --gamma 1:1:1 --mode 1280x1024 | 12:39 |
| tiny | cristian_c: hmm, a lot of variables, nothing specific there. If you did a dd(1) backup of card when it was already corrupted then it won't help. | 12:39 |
| tiny | cristian_c: it's easy to format it. | 12:40 |
| cristian_c | I think I must make the partition table again | 12:40 |
| tiny | cristian_c: first make sure you have a backup you can restore! | 12:40 |
| Guest91621 | xrandr: cannot find mode 1280x102 | 12:40 |
| cristian_c | tiny, a dd before executing the fsck | 12:40 |

| Guest91621 | Try 'xrandr --help' for more information. | 12:43 |
| cristian_c | slitux____, now, it's unmounted, but I don't think gparted can see it | 12:43 |

| Crowe167 | Hi | 13:58 |
| luminous | sydney: apt-cache search network | grep tools | less will let you figure out what you want | 13:58 |
| BesTtT | Crowe167 Hi | 13:58 |
| sydney | luminous: it is called 'network tools' in UBC | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | dave_s, that's ... a shameful. On my behalf, please set his desktop language to Old World Latin and change his fonts to dingbats | 13:59 |

| TLoFP | hi everyone, in the terminal is there a command to shorten the path name? | 14:00 |
| Jackmawer | cfhowlett, hi Yoda! | 14:00 |
| luminous | sydney: find it's real name (for the package), and use apt-get install <pkg> | 14:00 |
| dave_s | cfhowlett: That's so horribly devious, I love it. Why have I never thought to do this? | 14:00 |
| TLoFP | lets say I cd into an obsenly long path, how can I tell the terminal NOT to display the entire path | 14:00 |
| dave_s | Our cloud is all Ubuntu though. | 14:01 |
| asianetplus | Hello guys is there any way i can install the driver for ati radeon 8670 i have hp laptop hybrid graphics | 14:01 |
| Jackmawer | TLoFP i think you can change the terminal prompt, not sure | 14:01 |
| cfhowlett | TLoFP, interesting question. I THINK you can set a location alias. Don't know how though. | 14:01 |
| cfhowlett | dave_s, www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge | 14:02 |
| luminous | asianetplus: if you go to the ati/amd site, or maybe ubuntu wiki, there are instructions on adding a PPA for the drivers, then you can get the updated blobs | 14:02 |
| Jackmawer | TLoFP maybe just make a symo symbolic link? | 14:02 |
| Jackmawer | Not symo lol | 14:02 |
| luminous | TLoFP: that's configured in bash/your shell | 14:02 |

| luminous | Crowe167: run the install with wired network, then try sorting out the chip | 14:07 |

| luminous | Crowe167: not specifically, unfortunately. I remove all wifi chips from my laptops | 14:07 |
| Orphis_ | The connection is supposed to be reliable, but ssh fails pretty often, the transfer stalls and then fails | 14:07 |
| Crowe167 | luminous: My english is not good, but wired = LAN/Ethernet? | 14:08 |
| Orphis_ | I got into issues also with rsync breaking protocol in newer versions, which is really ridiculous | 14:08 |
| Orphis_ | Any idea on how I could transfer large files then? | 14:08 |
| Orphis_ | And any idea why ssh became so unreliable in trusty when transferring data? | 14:09 |

| cfhowlett | Crowe167, good luck with that. | 14:13 |

| cfhowlett | Crowe167, because you'll find it difficult to configure a wifi driver during live session. MUCH easier after install is completed | 14:14 |

| dpasqualin | Hi there, I'm having some trouble with apt-get dist-upgrade. I have a package called minicom-server-all which had le-autoupgrade as dependency. Recently I changed the name of the package le-autoupgrade to minicom-autoupgrade (using the replace/conflict/provide thing), and I also changed the name in the Depends of minicom-server-all to minicom-autoupgrade. Unfortunetely apt-get -y --force-yes dist-upgrade will not replace the package, no error, just | 14:24 |
| dpasqualin | "we will keep the le-autoupgrade". However, if I run apt-get install (or upgrade) minicom-server-all, apt replaces the package as expected. | 14:24 |

| vibedigital | someone can help? | 14:56 |
| mlindner | Pici: really? So 14.04 users have to go through special steps to upgrade to 14.10? | 14:57 |
| mlindner | as it will think of it as LTS and not offer it as an option? | 14:57 |
| MonkeyDust | mlindner 14.04 IS an lts | 14:59 |
| DJones | mlindner: By default, LTS releases are set to just upgrade to the next LTS, if a user wants to upgrade to the non-LTS releases, they just have to tick a box in the update manager to show non-LTS upgrades | 15:00 |

| joyce | \join #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:52 |
| Cavani | let me see, kriskropd | 15:52 |
| ldiamond | According to free -m, I have 13GB free memory and 5GB is used: ":-/+ buffers/cache: 5038 13025" | 15:52 |
| kriskropd | joyce: forward slash / | 15:52 |

| capable | matty_r: /var/log/boot.log | 15:52 |
| matty_r | capable: ahh cheers mate, i'll check it out | 15:52 |
| ldiamond | I have almost nothing running though, does anyone know commands that will show me exactly what this memory is committed to? | 15:53 |

| === james is now known as Guest57908 | ||
| matty_r | capable: there is some good info in there but it doesn't have the error I saw. You know the screen that has something like [ 9.2311 ] info goes here. It was before that screen. | 15:54 |
| === Guest57908 is now known as James_M__ | ||
| capable | matty_r: might check /var/log/dmesg | 15:55 |
| capable | matty_r: sometimes if you hit the 'pause' button (y'know that button you never use) | 15:55 |
| capable | matty_r: during boot up, it will actually pause the output | 15:55 |
| Cavani | kriskropd, not exactly in max; + or - 54-60% in any colour... | 15:55 |
| matty_r | capable: ha ha never thought of that. I'll have a look at that log now. | 15:55 |
| kriskropd | Cavani: it sounds like it's running fine then - anything under 75% is usually considered a fair load average | 15:56 |
| kriskropd | Cavani: and yet flash is still lagging, correct? | 15:56 |
| Eldunar | hmm... but i have tray icon:) I need to controll music player y music tray icon ( u know there is volume music player ( previous stop/play next) same with video player and audio settings;) there is gmusic browser but i want there deadbeef | 15:56 |
| capable | matty_r: doesn't always work, but that's essentially its only remaining purpose | 15:56 |
| Cavani | correct, still lagging | 15:56 |
| capable | Eldunar: I find keyboard shortcuts quicker than wiggling mice | 15:56 |
| kriskropd | Cavani: that is strange - you could try re-installing flash, but honestly your lag doesn't make sense and I'm doubtful a reinstall would fix it | 15:57 |
| Eldunar | ok so nvm:) ty:) | 15:57 |
| kriskropd | Cavani: if your game also relies heavily on javascript, that could cause a lot of cpu lag while playing | 15:57 |
| capable | Eldunar: no I mean, you can definitely get a tray icon | 15:57 |
| capable | I Just find them less useful, personally =) | 15:57 |
| kriskropd | Cavani: I'm just throwing ideas now | 15:58 |
| Eldunar | ok ill try your way:) | 15:58 |
| matty_r | capable: Ok so that log didn't have it either, think maybe press pause is the best idea? | 15:59 |
| capable | matty_r: well, it's a quick thing you can try, but there's a log somewhere | 16:00 |
| capable | matty_r: mostly, though | 16:00 |
| capable | matty_r: and I know this can be hard to swallow =) | 16:00 |
| capable | matty_r: but mostly, if an error _message_ isn't actually effecting you | 16:01 |
| capable | you should ignore it =) | 16:01 |

| capable | matty_r: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu%20boot%20logs | 16:04 |
| ldiamond | From what I understand, 5GB is actually used and committed to applications. I guess some of it might be shared memory loading libs and such, but is there a good tool to find out what exactly uses the memory? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a9f2c35966a23ec61f35 | 16:04 |
| matty_r | capable: yea, it was before that dmesg one | 16:05 |
| capable | matty_r: should be in /var/log/ somewhere, although some distros use an app for the boot log | 16:05 |
| capable | matty_r: including potentially systemd, depending | 16:05 |
| matty_r | capable: yea I tried googling it didn't help too much | 16:05 |
| ldiamond | After a few days, I end up w/ a very large amount of memory used so there's little space for buffers and caches. | 16:05 |
| matty_r | capable: i'll look around though thanks | 16:05 |
| capable | someone else here might know, too, g'luck | 16:05 |
| capable | ldiamond: after a few days of what, leaving the same apps open? | 16:06 |
| capable | modern GUI apps are not responsible with memory usage, you really want to close them and restart them every now and then | 16:06 |
| capable | matty_r: /var/log/syslog ? =) | 16:07 |
| capable | matty_r: or kern | 16:07 |

| ldiamond | capable, mostly chrome, shells w/ vim for dev and some gaming on steam. | 16:07 |
| matty_r | capable: i'm looking through the log directory now | 16:07 |
| ldiamond | capable, 5GB is after I close everything opened. | 16:07 |
| ldiamond | That's why I'm wondering where this memory is used. | 16:07 |
| capable | ldiamond: oh | 16:08 |
| adminewb | (trusty/i386/unity) supposing that an app crashes leaving the screen resolution different from desktop size; what shell-based tools are best to restore order to the screen? | 16:08 |
| capable | ldiamond: sure you're not talking about this? http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 16:08 |
| ldiamond | capable, yea I'm taking into account buffers and caches | 16:08 |
| capable | k =) | 16:08 |
| ldiamond | otherwise I'm near 90% | 16:08 |
| capable | ldiamond: you could ask #linux about this | 16:09 |
| ldiamond | I'm guessing most of the 5GB is shared libs (which I guess doesn't count in buffers and caches). But I want to inspect why it's loaded and what uses it. | 16:09 |
| capable | more their game, I'd say | 16:09 |
| matty_r | Ah well, can't find it. If my wifi drops out i'll look into it more, so far it's going ok | 16:12 |
| matty_r | it did have the word Nouveau in it which has nothing to do with wifi | 16:13 |
| capable | matty_r: indeed | 16:14 |
| pdo_fn14 | Sorry reconnect, any reactions for my post before?. | 16:14 |
| capable | matty_r: that's probably just a message about the kernel attempting to load nvidia kms, which you don't need | 16:14 |
| capable | pdo_fn14: which'n? | 16:14 |
| matty_r | capable: yea - oh well.. such is life | 16:14 |
| capable | matty_r: the Ubuntu kernel is very large, and full of things most any system would need | 16:15 |
| capable | matty_r: it basically loads everything any system would need, so there are going to be little error messages about your system not needing something | 16:15 |
| pdo_fn14 | When I talking about to will upgrading Utopic only for systemd introduction. | 16:15 |
| capable | at any rate, yeah, nouveau, nothing to do with wifi | 16:15 |
| capable | pdo_fn14: sometime, or no time | 16:15 |
| capable | try #crystallballs =) | 16:16 |
| capable | if you aren't willing to develop yourself, the answer is always: it's done if and when it is in fact done | 16:16 |
| Pici | pdo_fn14: You can try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 16:17 |
| matty_r | capable: Yea understood - i've been tearing my hair out trying to get the wifi stable so i've been investigating every little thing on the off chance it's causing it. | 16:17 |

| Psil0Cybin | using precise repos | 16:35 |
| daftykins | Psil0Cybin: dist-upgrade'd ? | 16:35 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea dist-upgrade says i am up to date | 16:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | with 3.2.0-67-generic | 16:36 |
| daftykins | to get newer you probably need to grab a newer version's hardware enablement stack | 16:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | daftykins, would i want to do this, or stay where i am right now | 16:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | i just want to make sure my kernel is not out dated | 16:36 |

| Psil0Cybin | okay daftykins before i go to reading, do i have to manually change the stacks from your experience? or would the OS automatically do this, as the time is right? Is this something I need to manually worry about, or will I be informed automatically? | 16:38 |
| Bashing-om | Psil0Cybin: My 2 cents worth: HWE is provided to accomodte newer hardware, if what you have works, leave well enough alone. HWE does have it's heart aches . | 16:38 |
| daftykins | Psil0Cybin: that's what reading will tell you. | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | Bashing-om, so at the moment just stay the way I am :) for now? correct? | 16:39 |
| rww | Bashing-om: Yep, strongly agree with tyhat. | 16:39 |
| daftykins | regardless guys, 12.04.5 moves to 3.13 as a base it would appear. | 16:39 |
| Bashing-om | Psil0Cybin: If all is working .. do not fix it ! stay where you are .. | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay thanks i was worried about vulnerabilities :) but i guess its the same | 16:40 |
| daftykins | Psil0Cybin: sometime this month 12.04.5 will be finalised which'll move you to trusty's kernel | 16:40 |
| daftykins | Psil0Cybin: you do realise that any LTS kernel will get security updates etc? | 16:41 |
| daftykins | anywho read the link for more background, don't rely on just people onlines word :P | 16:41 |

| daftykins | adminewb: that's really really bad advice | 16:42 |
| adminewb | daftykins, say more | 16:42 |

| iamwhoiam | hello people. When i run an application from terminal with '&' at the end, though it works as supposed to do, it continues to print various warnings outputs to the terminal. Can this be avoided? | 16:46 |
| sevard | iamwhoiam: stdout and stderr are not redirected when a process is backgrounded. | 16:46 |
| capable | iamwhoiam: nohup foo > /dev/null & | 16:46 |
| eeee | iamwhoiam: command 2> /dev/null & | 16:46 |
| sevard | capable: that'll only redirect stdout | 16:46 |
| sevard | eeee: that'll only redirect stderr | 16:46 |
| sevard | ;) | 16:46 |
| capable | if it isn't enough, he can come back | 16:47 |
| sevard | haha. | 16:47 |
| eeee | iamwhoiam: command > /dev/null 2>&1 | 16:47 |
| eeee | lol | 16:47 |
| pdo_fn14 | Bashing-om: After entering some pkexec and some password when my cellular signal instability, it will break my internet profile. | 16:47 |
| capable | well, you can do &>/dev/null | 16:47 |
| capable | but it's overkill | 16:47 |
| sevard | that's something i've never tried. | 16:47 |
| dym | iamwhoiam: read here: http://linuxwave.blogspot.de/2008/03/redirecting-stdout-and-stderr.html | 16:47 |
| dym | Probably best to also understand what you#re doing | 16:48 |

| cimmm | Having issues getting install media to boot on a Dell Dimension 8400. HDD was wiped and did UFD install of Debian 7.6.0amd64-CD1 - all Ubuntu media hangs at boot with blinking cursor (14.04.1 amd64 desktop, netinst - both from UFD and CDR, MD5 matches). Is there something different between Deb/Ubu install boots, anything I'd have to change on install media? | 16:51 |
| capable | cimmm: ufd? | 16:52 |
| cimmm | capable: USB Flash Drive | 16:52 |
| capable | cimmm: did you try the 'minimalcd' image? | 16:52 |
| capable | ah, not ever seen that abbreviation | 16:52 |
| daftykins | ^nor me | 16:52 |
| capable | what are you using to image to usb? | 16:52 |
| daftykins | cimmm: you can confirm by pulling the HDDs to see if it has an issue on detecting them | 16:52 |
| cimmm | have tried a few I've used consistently - win32diskimager, unetbootin (doing from win8 main system now) | 16:53 |
| capable | k | 16:53 |
| pdo_fn14 | Bashing-om: Okay folks, let me try to make it cleared. My signal data cellular's bad for now, somehow I tried to remake my internet profile only- because entering password from pkexec and a thing again. | 16:53 |
| capable | cimmm: did you try the 'minimalcd' image? | 16:54 |
| cimmm | capable: yes, I've burned and done USB image | 16:54 |
| adminewb | daftykins, if the kernels were not meant to be used, why publish them? | 16:54 |
| eeee | pdo_fn14: why are you using pkexec ? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | adminewb: you obviously don't get that they're from EOL releases... you know what that means right? | 16:54 |
| capable | cimmm: old hardware? | 16:54 |
| adminewb | daftykins yes | 16:55 |
| daftykins | adminewb: so it's obvious you shouldn't install an EOL kernel that will no longer receive patches and fixes... that's obvious | 16:55 |
| cimmm | Fairly, P4 64bit on 478, DDR2/533, SATA1 onboard | 16:55 |
| cimmm | \ | 16:55 |
| pdo_fn14 | eeee: I don't know somehow why Ubuntu trying to call pkexec and something when I trying to get connected with my internet profile. | 16:56 |
| adminewb | daftykins neither will the kernel they were using be patched | 16:56 |
| cimmm | no extra cards or drives aside from optical. and to dafty earlier: HDD and Opticals have no issue reading, same with USB and different ports, just seems to be ubuntu images | 16:56 |
| daftykins | adminewb: 'they' ? i'm afraid i'm going to have to stop this conversation because it is not my job to make you understand. just please don't link people to outdated things and suggest their use | 16:57 |
| daftykins | cimmm: right but it'd be interesting to pull the OS drive, if it has debian on it, just to see if it changes anything. i'm surprised there's a 64-bit Pentium 4 0o | 16:58 |
| cimmm | daftykins: That I've tried. The Debian HDD is wiped already, no part table, and I've used a different HDD as well as no HDD and I get same media boot to cursor blink | 16:59 |
| daftykins | ok good stuff. | 16:59 |
| eeee | pdo_fn14: so what is the error? and how are you trying to connect? | 17:00 |
| Ace2Race | im on my laptop and it dosent detect my wifi card | 17:01 |
| cimmm | Oh as a side note - It shouldn't be too surprising that P4 are 64b, I can see it being surprising on the old mPGA478 like this, but they still produce P4 as lowest-line non-SOC in current LGA sockets | 17:02 |
| hujjj | Hello! | 17:02 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: new 14.04.1 64-bit install? | 17:02 |
| Ace2Race | yeah | 17:02 |
| Ace2Race | no 32 bit | 17:02 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: ok, run "lspci" in a terminal and identify what your wifi device is | 17:03 |
| Ace2Race | well im using a usb to get by | 17:03 |
| Ace2Race | so that will probuly pop up | 17:03 |
| pdo_fn14 | eeee: Connecting >>> Ubuntu call pkexec and something to entering password >>> I don't want to missing my internet profile >> Waiting for a while >> Reconnect >> Get Connected.. | 17:03 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: not under lspci it won't | 17:04 |
| Ace2Race | where do i patse do i pm you and paste it there? | 17:04 |
| hujjj | On Ubuntu 12.04 there is the package linux-image-3.2.0-67-generic (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-image-3.2.0-67-generic) and the corresponding source package linux-source-3.2.0 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-source-3.2.0), But where is the source package for linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic)? | 17:05 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: paste.ubuntu.com would've been nicer :P - i don't see one in your output | 17:07 |
| Ace2Race | is mine bad then | 17:07 |
| Ace2Race | i have a spare | 17:07 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: well, can you determine the make and model of laptop? | 17:08 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: use paste.ubuntu.com to share 'lsusb' also | 17:08 |

| Oog | i run nginx 1.6.0 on ubuntu - need to upgrade to 1.6.1 to fix smtp bug i got emailed about - how do i do it? | 17:09 |
| Oog | aptitude update/upgrade didnt do it | 17:09 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: gonna need a more specific # there, also when replying use my nickname in front so i get a highlight... i'm in many channels | 17:09 |
| capable | Oog: check packages.ubuntu.com to see if it's even available via the repos yet | 17:09 |
| daftykins | Oog: what version are you on? | 17:09 |
| capable | Oog: if it isn't you'll have to find a ppa, a random deb, or build it the old fashioned way | 17:09 |
| Oog | oh or i just wait until it gets updated? how long will that take usually? | 17:10 |
| daftykins | Oog: what version are you on? | 17:10 |
| capable | not that long, but clearly longer than you'd like =P | 17:10 |
| Ace2Race | ok daftykins... mx8711 is the moddle and its a gateway | 17:10 |
| Oog | 13.10 | 17:10 |
| daftykins | Oog: your release is EOL, you won't be getting anything newer. you need to switch to a supported release, 12.04 or 14.04 | 17:11 |
| Oog | oh no | 17:11 |
| farbod | hi to all | 17:11 |
| xangua | oh yes | 17:11 |
| Oog | why is 13.10 EOL and now 12.04? | 17:12 |
| xangua | Oog: because 12.04 is Long Term Support | 17:12 |
| Oog | so not even security updates for 13.10? nothing? | 17:12 |
| farbod | what is Difference Between ubuntu 14.04 & 14.04.1? | 17:13 |
| daftykins | farbod: .1 is newer, updates. | 17:13 |
| daftykins | Oog: in future, never base a production system off a non-LTS release. | 17:13 |
| Oog | daftykins: yeah i had no idea | 17:14 |
| Oog | i didnt know what lts was | 17:14 |
| farbod | daftykins: which apps get update> | 17:14 |
| capable | daftykins: why not | 17:14 |
| farbod | ? | 17:14 |

| APaternoster_ | Hallo :) I've a problem with microphone. I hear a noise in background that coming from pc. Is there a solution ? Thanks... | 17:14 |
| capable | voidvoid: heya | 17:14 |
| daftykins | Ace2Race: hmm, seeing vague mention of that laptop having broadcom wireless. odd it doesn't show up though, how's that lsusb paste coming along? | 17:14 |
| Oog | so how do i update to 14.04 is there an aptitude command to do it | 17:15 |
| capable | APaternoster_: pardon? | 17:15 |
| daftykins | capable: you're going to have to be a bit more specific than that when asking me a question | 17:15 |
| capable | Oog: yup | 17:15 |
| farbod | daftykins: you use which one of them? | 17:15 |
| capable | daftykins: what's wrong with using non-lts for "production" | 17:15 |
| voidvoid | im using 12.04 i want a user got admin privileges ... but from GUI when i click "ADMIN" it doesnt take effect | 17:15 |
| APaternoster_ | capable: ? | 17:15 |
| voidvoid | how do i do this from command line ? | 17:15 |
| daftykins | capable: you're welcome to have a policy conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic but this is support, not theory. | 17:15 |
| capable | voidvoid: what does 'groups nameOfUser' say? | 17:15 |
| capable | daftykins: wha? | 17:16 |
| daftykins | farbod: if you're downloading now, get 14.04.1 - it's like the equivalent of a first 'service pack' with Windows releases. all the fixes since it came out | 17:16 |
| capable | I don't see a problem using non-lts for "production" | 17:16 |
| daftykins | capable: then you're an idiot | 17:16 |
| farbod | and who know a good site for new CSS codes?(New) | 17:16 |

| capable | daftykins: are those two statements related?... | 17:20 |

| kevinfish | hi everyone. how do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/929Bm7pm | 17:23 |
| capable | don't know what you're on about | 17:23 |
| daftykins | kevinfish: 'cat /etc/issue' please? if it's 13.04 your release is dead, EOL, unsupported. you must update | 17:23 |
| capable | kevinfish: raring is done, AFAIK | 17:23 |
| daftykins | kevinfish: you could *try* an upgrade, but it'd take a lot of time and invite lots more issues. you're better off backing up and clean installing a supported release (12.04 or 14.04) | 17:24 |
| capable | and updating more frequently in future | 17:24 |
| Cavani | kriskropd: sorry, I had problems with adsl. I'm back if you're not busy... | 17:25 |

| guest-FXaA0B | how can i install software through guest account ? i know of course the main account pw | 17:42 |
| kriskropd | daftykins: whenever I install flash on ubuntu, I use the packages from adobe directly - the aptitude provided packages for flash seem to cause errors for whatever reason (I hadn't investigated) | 17:42 |
| daftykins | guest-FXaA0B: i'm not sure where you're getting the need to install software from? | 17:42 |
| jak2000 | guest-FXaA0B with sudo apt-get install mypackage | 17:42 |
| Pici | jak2000: that will not work. "guest" does not have sudoers privleges. | 17:42 |

| guest-FXaA0B | i cannot load in my standard account, it stays at the default bg nothing else loaded, so iam trying to reset unity through the guest account | 17:43 |
| daftykins | guest-FXaA0B: the link i gave you has commands to run to reset unity, they don't involve installing software. | 17:43 |
| kriskropd | xangua: they provide the 11.2 adobe flash tarball | 17:43 |
| daftykins | guest-FXaA0B: login via a TTY, hit ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 | 17:44 |
| kriskropd | xangua: as wella s rpm and apt | 17:44 |
| jak2000 | Pici ok, any advice for my? pls | 17:44 |
| Pici | jak2000: most GUI applications do not handle being backgrounded and foregrounded well, or at all. | 17:45 |
| jak2000 | i installed mirc.exe on ubuntu with PlayOnLinux, when i click on minimize button, the program put an icon on Tray(Similar on windows) and then........ i cant restore the program, understand me? | 17:46 |
| Pici | jak2000: that is entirely different to using 'fg' to bring a process back into the foreground. | 17:47 |
| daftykins | jak2000: you should be using a native IRC client, not using windows programs ¬_¬ | 17:48 |

Is there something special in ubuntu installers Dell doesn't like? | 17:58 |
| daftykins | cimmm: checked into BIOS updates? | 18:00 |
| cimmm | yeah im on A09 current is A10 but changes have nothing to do with HDDs. Doing a winXP USB right now to try it from that angle | 18:01 |

| cimmm | let me find you specific model#. It's later run mPGA478 Pentium4 @ 2.8 with HT and EMT-64 | 18:05 |

| daftykins | well, find ones for apache or nginx too | 18:10 |
| cimmm | compdoc: I can run in "Normal" or Combination" mode - I believe Normal is AHCI and combination says "provides compatibility with older OS that do not support SATA drives" | 18:11 |
| compdoc | cimmm, thats a pretty old 32bit cpu. Two weeks ago, I had to replace a motherboard with a P4 because several capacitors had gone bad. They were happy to get rid of it, because it was so slow | 18:12 |
| cimmm | compdoc: my bios says em64T support =X also this is just gonna be for web browsing and kongregate at most, charity work for a friend | 18:13 |
| compdoc | cimmm, no, I dont think that board supports ahci | 18:14 |
| compdoc | the choices would be normal, ahci, or combo | 18:14 |

| cimmm | i have tried both x86 and x86_64. Debian x86_64 was installed and fine previously | 18:15 |
| compdoc | wow | 18:16 |
| compdoc | whats the error? | 18:16 |
| cimmm | no error, after boot selection I hang at a cursor | 18:16 |
| compdoc | btw, be sure to run memtest86 on it for several passes, or overnight if possible. once you know its good, update the bios. always good to have the latest. They might decide to take down that page before long | 18:18 |
| TJ- | cimmm: The Ubuntu 32-bit kernels require PAE support; does that CPU support it? Many older CPUs dont | 18:18 |
| compdoc | cimmm, how many drives are installed? | 18:19 |
| cimmm | compdoc: ran memtest86+ about 12hr before I did debian install | 18:19 |
| compdoc | excellent | 18:19 |
| compdoc | we lagged? | 18:20 |
| cimmm | uhm next q was drives, currently im on just the 80GB SATA1, that tests fine no bad sect | 18:20 |
| compdoc | so just one drive? or is that a usb stick plugged in? | 18:20 |
| compdoc | that=there | 18:21 |
| cimmm | turned off all other SATA and IDE channels for now. I have been bouncing between SATA0 80GB HDD and adding in the IDE DVD+CDRW, been booting off the USB stick most of the time | 18:21 |
| compdoc | systems can get confused if there are two bootable devices | 18:22 |
| gimmic | anyone know a way in command line to lock unity? | 18:22 |

| ajayaa | Hi. I am getting a broken package error while installing python-dev. | 18:22 |
| ajayaa | How do I fix it? | 18:22 |
| ajayaa | The problem being "python-dev : Depends: python2.7-dev (>= 2.7.3) but it is not going to be installed" | 18:23 |
| gimmic | so have you tried installing python2.7-dev ? | 18:23 |
| kriskropd | gimmic: you can use slock | 18:24 |
| kriskropd | gimmic: to lock x11 screen - you can also use vlock to lock a shell | 18:24 |
| ZKR | hello there all | 18:24 |
| gimmic | kriskropd: I don't see slock installed or available in ubuntu repos | 18:24 |

| ajayaa | yes. It lists some other packages which are again not going to be installed | 18:25 |
| gimmic | kriskropd: I'm just wondering what unity uses to lock the screen, and if I can call it manually | 18:25 |
| gimmic | rather than through some goofy ui element | 18:25 |
| kriskropd | gimmic: slock is part of suckless-tools | 18:25 |
| kriskropd | gimmic: I don't use unity so I don't know :s | 18:26 |
| MonkeyDust | suckless-tools actually exists! | 18:29 |
| kriskropd | gimmic: ubuntu might still be using the gnome-screensaver, you could see if oyu have it installed and check the man page for '-l, --lock' | 18:29 |
| gimmic | ughh | 18:29 |
| kriskropd | MonkeyDust: suckless sucks less | 18:29 |
| gimmic | it isn't, it's using something inside unity | 18:29 |
| gimmic | I restarted unity and at least the functionality came back | 18:30 |
| gimmic | but it fubar'ed my app panel | 18:30 |
| gimmic | sigh. So much hackery around unity | 18:30 |
| * gimmic misses xfce | 18:30 | |
| MonkeyDust | gimmic then install xfce, what's holding you | 18:30 |
| gimmic | xfce has poor multimonitor support | 18:30 |
| gimmic | one thing ubuntu does well | 18:30 |
| gimmic | I have a 3 headed display | 18:31 |
| gimmic | with different screen sizes | 18:31 |
| samuraiRM | ma | 18:36 |
| kostkon | gimmic, lightdm is used for the lock screen. try to lock it with dm-tool: man dm-tool for more | 18:37 |

| d2dchat | daftykins, ^ | 18:43 |
| daftykins | d2dchat: this is not debian support. the clue is the channel being called #ubuntu and not #debian | 18:43 |
| d2dchat | daftykins, woops! I thought I was running Ubuntu on this VM | 18:43 |
| d2dchat | my bad | 18:43 |

| toshiba_ | scroll up it says PID at the top under the numbers | 19:06 |
| stefkos | or maybe it create own threads? | 19:06 |

| toshiba_ | yer then just look for it | 19:08 |
| Blaster | TJ-: how do I find the right PID for it? | 19:08 |
| TJ- | Blaster: It likely runs as a php process; try "pgrep php" | 19:08 |
| toshiba_ | ps aux | 19:09 |
| toshiba_ | ? | 19:09 |
| Blaster | It just gave me like 10 PIDs on new lines with no name or anything. | 19:09 |
| TJ- | Blaster: If that gives any results, you can check those PIDs in detail, with "ps -efly | grep php" | 19:09 |
| Blaster | This seems a lot harder than it should be. | 19:10 |
| Blaster | Finally got it | 19:10 |
| TJ- | Blaster: PHP is an interpreter that reads script files, if the process you were looking for was a proper executable you'd find it in one search | 19:10 |
| Daghdha | i am getting "common.h:22:22: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory" so iguess X11 is not supported by ubuntu. :( | 19:11 |

| === tomboy is now known as Guest76137 | ||

| echoprinter | trijntje: Just a blank screen | 19:17 |
| trijntje | echoprinter: just a blank screen when? You have to give details | 19:17 |
| TJ- | Khaaan: Usually, no. Technically, maybe for experts who are used to shuffling data around manually. | 19:17 |
| TJ- | Khaaan: If however you are wanting to shrink an existing (Windows) file-system partition, that can be done from Windows Disk Management, which then frees up space for the Ubuntu installer to assign to a new partition, where it can install itself safely | 19:18 |
| echoprinter | trigjntje: Once i put in the Ubuntu CD and reboot my computer, it tries to recognize the DVD that Ubuntu is on, but the DVD just spins for a while, then eventually gives up, showing only a blank screen. | 19:19 |
| TJ- | Khaaan: The installer can also shrink Windows NTFs file-system partitions but it is generally safer to let the Windows tools do the job | 19:19 |
| Khaaan | ill use virtualbox i imagine it wil lbe ok | 19:19 |
| trijntje | echoprinter: did you get the 64 bit version, and how did you burn it to disk? | 19:19 |

| SP33D | can some one help me | 19:24 |
| cimmm | TJ-: yes, I'm using NetInst x86_64 | 19:24 |
| ses1984 | i feel like i've been trying to study how to get this to work but failing really hard at putting together the pieces | 19:24 |
| SP33D | how can i run make command in a directory from outside that directory | 19:24 |
| SP33D | i mean i got a project in a /dir now i whant to execute make like i would do cd /dir befor from the root dir is that possible | 19:24 |
| TJ- | cimmm: OK, so not a no-PAE boot issue by the look of it, unless for some reason the BIOS boots from USB with EMT64 disabled, despite the BIOS setting | 19:25 |
| SP33D | make /dir install don't does work as cd /dir make install | 19:25 |
| guest-mcTCde | #list | 19:25 |
| TJ- | SP33D: "man make" "/ -C" | 19:26 |

| * jdr is looking for some help using bazaar with launchpad | 19:28 | |

| TJ- | jdr: haha! | 19:29 |
| jdr | :) | 19:29 |

| TJ- | jdr have you checked out http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/beta/en/tutorials/using_bazaar_with_launchpad.html ? | 19:29 |
| cimmm | but yes they essentially run a DD and break my flash drive until I manually rewrite partition table for FAT 8gb access | 19:30 |
| TJ- | cimmm: OK... I'm wondering if the boot loader was somehow messed up, otherwise it should have at least reported an error | 19:30 |
| jdr | TickT0ck - I have, but the difficulty i'm running into seems to be more specifically with syntax | 19:30 |
| TJ- | cimmm: 8GB FAT32? that may upset the boot-loader's FAT code | 19:31 |
| TJ- | jdr: which bit? | 19:31 |
| jdr | trying to pull http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-severinsson/ffmpeg/ubuntu | 19:31 |
| TJ- | jdr what command are you trying? | 19:31 |
| jdr | I've tried a bunch of variations on "bzr branch ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg" | 19:31 |
| TJ- | jdr: That user has no code branches | 19:32 |
| cimmm | TJ-: Well the dd won't write to full disk as single partition, but why would Debian not have the same issue? (Debian was done with full desktop CD ISO 7.60 x86_64 ) | 19:33 |
| adminewb | (trusty/unity): if my screen resolution goes to mush when an app crashes, what shell-based tools are best to restore unity desktop proper screen resolution? | 19:33 |
| TJ- | cimmm: Debian and Ubuntu have different boot-loader configuration for the ISOs, last time I looked | 19:33 |
| adminewb | TJ- different versions of grub you mean? I concur | 19:34 |
| TJ- | adminewb: No, isolinux and EFI and multiple boot sectors in the El torito image | 19:35 |
| cimmm | TJ-: Thank you, I'm good for now but grub seems to be the answer. I know I had a similar issue with a laptop-turned-htpc I had many moons ago, though that wouldn't take ANY install media except Windows | 19:35 |
| adminewb | TJ- thanks for clarifying | 19:36 |
| cimmm | So new EFI bootloader is whats bangin up my USB install? | 19:36 |
| TJ- | cimmm: some BIOSes refuse to boot from a device that has a valid partition table (MBR) unless one of the partitions is flagged as active, even for GRUB, which isn't concerned with the boot flag at all | 19:36 |
| jdr | TJ - interesting. What I'm hoping to do is basically be able to pull the repo, make a few changes, and push my own ppa | 19:36 |
| TJ- | jdr: Use "apt-add-repository ...", then you can use "apt-get source $PACKAGE", then edit the source, sign and repackage the new version, then push it up to your own PPA with "dput" | 19:38 |
| jdr | beautiful - thanks, TJ! | 19:38 |
| jdr | would I just use those with the url? | 19:39 |

| mjrbordo | if i need help with installing ubuntu where i should go ? | 19:41 |
| TJ- | cimmm: That, or if the USB has a partition table, toggle the active boot flag on one primary partition. I helped a user a couple weeks ago diagnose this issue and was surprised the BIOS actually checked for the flag; usually the BIOS only checks for the valid signature at sector #0 offset 510 is 0x55AA, and then loads the MBR boot-strap code to 0c7C00 and passed execution to it | 19:41 |
| itisit | OerHeks: I manually update kombu to latest version using pip. However, if I run pip freeze | grep 'python-kombu'. I see nothing. If I run pip freeze | grep 'kombu' I can see correct version (latest v). So I am wondering after upgrading, is package 'python-kombu' still there? I am afraid if the program still use old version of kombu. thanks. | 19:43 |

| and2 | running ubuntu 14.04 btw. | 19:49 |
| TJ- | and2: Is the output connected via a straight-through HDMI cable, or is there any DisplayPort or DVI adapters involved? | 19:49 |
| and2 | no adapters at all, it works perfectly fine in my DUAL booted windows 7 | 19:50 |
| t4nk433 | Hi everyone, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with an Nvidia driver. why do I get this error? http://i.imgur.com/RnniCpr.png | 19:51 |

| TJ- | t4nk433: I've already replied to you with a link to a bug report, did you not read it? | 19:51 |
| t4nk433 | oh oops i didnt see | 19:51 |

| mjrbordo | Hello. I got problem with installing ubuntu 14,04. After instalation system doesnt start | 19:52 |
| and2 | t4nk433, yes it does.. and i can also track the activity when playing a file within the "pulseaudio volume control" application | 19:53 |
| Scunizi | Suddenly out of the blue on my 12.04 sys when I plug in my camera's SD card into the reader, the system wants a user name and password to open it. It's formatted at FAT32. How do I fix this behavoir? | 19:53 |
| and2 | also made sure it wasnt muted in alsamixer | 19:54 |
| Scunizi | mjrbordo: do you get a black screen? | 19:54 |

| TJ- | and2: Hmmm, which video driver is in use? | 19:54 |
| mjrbordo | anybody can help me anyway? When i was installing on hdd everything was ok but on SSD disk ubuntu cant start by itself only from live usb | 19:54 |
| and2 | bumblebee for nvidia optimus | 19:54 |
| t4nk433 | TJ: I don't see a solution on launchpad...forgive me if im a total noob | 19:55 |
| zamba | ok, what has ubuntu fscked now? nfs shares? | 19:55 |
| TJ- | and2: Using the nvidia proprietary graphics driver I guess? | 19:55 |
| Scunizi | !ssd > mjrbordo | 19:55 |
| ubottu | mjrbordo, please see my private message | 19:55 |
| zamba | i've installed nfs-common and i'm now trying to mount a remote share: mount -f nfs <server>:<share> <local-dir> | 19:55 |
| zamba | mount.nfs: Protocol not supported | 19:55 |
| TJ- | t4nk433: There isn't one as yet, if you have an Ubuntu/Launchpad account you should click the "Affects me Too" button at the top | 19:55 |
| t4nk433 | okay thanks | 19:56 |
| and2 | TJ- yea, it should be using the recommended | 19:56 |
| Scunizi | How do I fix USB SD Card reader permission issues? | 19:56 |
| TJ- | and2: The only thing I can think is to test with another HDMI audio display if you have access to one, to be certain the audio isn't arriving at the device end | 19:57 |
| jhutchins | zamba: Your client is defaulting to a version of the NFS protocol that is disabled on the server. | 19:57 |
| subz3r0 | Scunizi: chmod | 19:57 |
| subz3r0 | or chown | 19:57 |
| and2 | TJ- well, i already done that basically, since it works in Windows 7 when i reboot :P | 19:58 |
| zamba | jhutchins: ok.. and what do i do about that? | 19:58 |
| Scunizi | subz3r0: you'd think so but FAT32 doesn't support permissions.. it's in the system someplace and just recently started doing this out of the blue.. no modifications on my part. | 19:58 |
| TJ- | and2: Might be worth checking the "/var/log/kern.log" for any messages indicating audio problems, too | 19:58 |
| jhutchins | zamba: Figure out what version the servers using and specify that when you run the client. | 19:58 |
| subz3r0 | Scunizi: still chmod or chown | 19:58 |
| subz3r0 | im not talking about the filesystem of the usb card | 19:58 |
| TJ- | Scunizi: did you add the drive to "/etc/fstab" at some point? | 19:58 |
| Scunizi | subz3r0: ok. but what do I use the commands on? the mount point? | 19:58 |
| jhutchins | zamba: You could also reconfigure the server to be more tolerant if it's your server. | 19:59 |
| subz3r0 | Scunizi: yes | 19:59 |
| Scunizi | TJ-: no.. | 19:59 |
| === parduse is now known as Guest43751 | ||
| zamba | jhutchins: it's my server, yeah | 19:59 |
| zamba | jhutchins: the server is running debian wheezy | 19:59 |
| subz3r0 | e.g sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/mountbla | 19:59 |
| Scunizi | subz3r0: doesn't the mount point change depending on which usb port I plug the reader into? | 19:59 |
| TJ- | Scunizi: OK, because sometimes that can cause problems because it conflicts with the GVFS (Gnome Virtual File System) handler that usually mounts pluggable file-systems under /media/$USER/ | 19:59 |
| zamba | jhutchins: frankly i don't know how to do that | 19:59 |
| subz3r0 | if that does not work | 20:00 |
| subz3r0 | sudo chmod 700 /media/blamountpoint | 20:00 |
| jhutchins | zamba: I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, I'd have to look them up in the man pages or the NFS howto, but you might just be able to read the comments in the NFS config file. | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | subz3r0: I'll give it a go. | 20:01 |
| jhutchins | zamba: I actually have a related bug pending fix release in the next minor of RHEL 6. | 20:01 |
| peloverde | How do I get non-unity menus in libreoffice in ubuntu 14.04? | 20:01 |
| subz3r0 | peloverde: install a decent DE | 20:02 |
| zamba | jhutchins: installed the nfs-kernel-server instead | 20:02 |
| zamba | jhutchins: that fixed it | 20:02 |
| peloverde | unity is the official DE of ubuntu, surely it must be supported? | 20:03 |
| c2h6o | TJ-, you are a wizard :) | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | subz3r0, be helpfull please, else don't answer. thanks. | 20:03 |

| subz3r0 | OerHeks: it was helpfull. you're welcome | 20:03 |
| subcool | Hey, how do you network broadcast a WOL packet?? Etherwake wants a mac address | 20:04 |
| c2h6o | TJ-, you seem to have an answer to every question ;)... | 20:04 |
| subcool | c2h6o, TJ is a god.. | 20:04 |
| c2h6o | subcool, agreed... /me bows to TJ | 20:04 |
| TJ- | c2h6o: Yeah... now imagine how many bugs I've hit myself to know all that!!!! | 20:04 |
| OerHeks | peloverde, if you don't want the menu op top panel, undo global menu. | 20:05 |
| jhutchins | subcool: Specify the broadcast address for the subnet? | 20:05 |
| c2h6o | TJ-, lol... yeah, can't imagine O_O... I need to find some good resources for beginners on linux | 20:06 |
| R13ose | there is a lot of feedback when I use my mic, is there a way to decrease this? | 20:06 |
| fridaynext | if i sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults - will that cause it to start up at system boot each time? | 20:06 |
| jhutchins | subcool: ie .255 for a class C. | 20:06 |
| TJ- | c2h6o: I generally find that breaking things, then trying to fix them, teaches me most of this arcane stuff :) | 20:06 |
| subcool | i was thinking that too.. but, etherwake doesnt support WOL on IP. | 20:06 |
| subcool | jhutchins, | 20:06 |
| jhutchins | subcool: Oh, MAC. | 20:07 |

| subz3r0 | jhutchins: never used wake on lan before. kinda useless in a enterprise environment :) | 20:12 |
| subcool | its really simplictist. - I use to use WOL on enterprise all the time :/ | 20:13 |
| subcool | its really simple, i just forgot about it- and i had a really cool program to do it for me. | 20:13 |
| jojoe | hello | 20:14 |
| subz3r0 | subcool: never seen a enterprise environment which will be shut down | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | subcool: there is a wakeonlan package that might do it. | 20:15 |
| subz3r0 | check the repos | 20:15 |
| subz3r0 | apt-cache search WOL | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | subcool: subnet broadcasts are supported, some wake software allows addresses or even hostnames. | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | ,v wakeonlan | 20:16 |
| jhutchins | ? | 20:16 |
| jhutchins | Ah, different bot. wakeonlan is on Debian, not sure what's on Ubuntu, aptitude search ~dwake | 20:16 |

| amontalban | Anyone using drbd in EC2? | 20:19 |
| pbx | awreece, corrupted files i think. e.g. http://askubuntu.com/questions/144633/ | 20:20 |
| amontalban | I'm getting some weird | 20:20 |
| amontalban | If I install the same package (drbd8-utils) in EC2 it shows me a wrong version | 20:20 |
| awreece | pbx we tried deleting the files it copmlained about | 20:20 |
| awreece | and re running, to no avail | 20:21 |
| amontalban | http://pastebin.com/tqEkSZRJ | 20:21 |
| pbx | awreece, and you updated after? | 20:21 |
| awreece | yup | 20:21 |
| pbx | awreece, then either the server they're being re-fetched from has corrupt files or... something else :\ | 20:21 |
| jhutchins | amontalban: EC2? Amazon cloud? | 20:21 |
| koell | Where do i edit the aliases from ´alias´? I need to ´unalias´ this works per session, but not on a new terminal. :/ | 20:22 |
| awreece | yeah, thats why I pinged in here :) | 20:22 |
| jhutchins | !locate | 20:22 |
| ubottu | locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb | 20:22 |
| awreece | cuz I figured somene here had access to the server, or could illuminate | 20:22 |

| jhutchins | amontalban: Their repos might not be the same. | 20:23 |
| amontalban | jhutchins: I compared the files and are the same | 20:23 |
| amontalban | I even downloaded it with wget and installed by hand | 20:23 |
| jhutchins | amontalban: They might have somethnig pinned in /etc/apt/preferences (I think that's the file). | 20:23 |
| awreece | TJ- nope | 20:23 |
| amontalban | It's really weird | 20:23 |
| jhutchins | amontalban: Something installed on a different path? | 20:24 |
| TJ- | awreece: Try manually comparing the checksums from the Release file, with the Packages and Packages.gz at fault | 20:24 |
| amontalban | jhutchins: I checked apt-cache policy drbd8-utils | 20:24 |
| amontalban | And both shows the same | 20:24 |

| TJ- | awreece: The Packages files: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/trusty-security/main/binary-amd64/ | 20:24 |
| amontalban | jhutchins: I tested also using full path to executable | 20:24 |
| koell | jhutchins: this will not work, locate only lists files containing "alias" in the path. | 20:24 |
| amontalban | But don't know really | 20:25 |
| amontalban | I'm quite lost and don't know where to go | 20:25 |
| TJ- | awreece: Looks like the checksums are incorrect doesn't it? | 20:26 |
| amontalban | jhutchins: I think it can be kernel related? | 20:26 |
| awreece | TJ- I'm confirming now | 20:27 |
| amontalban | jhutchins: in EC2 I have 3.2.0-67-virtual and in Vagrant I have 3.8.0-44-generic | 20:27 |

| knob | Hello guys. Some n00b questions. I went to login to one of my servers now. It returned "This service allows sftp connections only." I have root access via VNC (it is a remote VPS). | 21:05 |
| jhutchins | jl420: It looks like your drive is unable to read that particular disk. How old is the drive? Laptop or desktop? | 21:05 |
| knob | How can I re-enable access via ssh for this user? | 21:05 |
| jhutchins | knob: WHo set it up? | 21:05 |
| capable | knob: dpkg -L openssh-server | grep -i etc | 21:05 |
| knob | I had disabled root access via ssh via sshd_config PermitRootLogin no | 21:05 |
| knob | jhutchins, I did... little by little. I started at zero, and... well, kinda got lost somewhere. | 21:06 |
| jhutchins | knob: Then you need to change that, althoug it's odd that it's saying it allows sftp. | 21:06 |
| knob | capable, going to login via VNC and run that | 21:06 |
| jhutchins | knob: Notebooks and pencils are wonderful things even in this day and age. | 21:06 |
| knob | jhutchins, I was playing with ftp uploads and I think that's where I messed up | 21:06 |
| knob | jhutchins, I know man. I keep a "ledger" digital in my computer... yet I don't see anything specific to causing that. Although obviously, it was my doing. | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | knob: Take a look at the settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | knob: By default, there is no root login in ubuntu, so that might be what it falls back on. | 21:07 |
| knob | Ok... I am loading it via VNC now... | 21:08 |
| jl420 | Its reading the disc. when i put it in theres a dvd symbol in the toolbar if i bring my curser over it, it says the name of the movie. But it comes up unable to mount. As far as playing the dvd Ive been trying to use vlc. If there is a better way to play dvds on ubuntu 14.04 could someone let me know please. I had windows xp on this laptop and all dvds played fine. I just recently switched to ubuntu and i love it other than this small | 21:08 |
| TJ- | knob: Did you add "command=sftp ..." to the authorized_users file? | 21:08 |
| Aline22 | You can find funny videos here. http://bit.ly/1y2SGSo | 21:08 |
| knob | TJ-, not sure... can't find anything on my notes that I did that. | 21:08 |
| TJ- | knob: you probably set the user's shell to /usr/lib/sftp-server | 21:09 |
| and2 | cant get this hdmi sound to work =( | 21:10 |
| capable | and2: sure your cable supports audio? | 21:11 |
| knob | Ok... I am trying to login now. I have the VNC console up, yet... it doesn't want to "paste" my clipboard. So I am typing the passwords out. | 21:11 |
| and2 | capable yea, works perfectly fine under Windoze | 21:11 |
| capable | and2: okay, what's the audio device? | 21:12 |
| jl420 | does anyone here know how i can get dvd playback to work with ubuntu | 21:12 |
| TJ- | jl420: Did you check the kern.log as I suggested? | 21:12 |
| and2 | capable audio device? im trying to play movies on my TV, and using the HDMI output | 21:12 |
| onr | how to clear apt-cache? | 21:13 |
| capable | and2: yeah, what does 'alsamixer' say is the device? | 21:13 |
| jl420 | TJ i did check it and i pasted the results here | 21:13 |
| and2 | capable the Intel Chip, i tried to unmute it etc, but i cant adjust the volume like i can with the other devices | 21:13 |
| TJ- | jl420: I must have been away when you did, let me scrool back | 21:13 |
| TJ- | jl420: well the problem is obvious isn't it? " Sense: Unrecovered read error" | 21:14 |
| TJ- | jl420: A bad disk, or a disk that is incompatible with that player | 21:14 |
| capable | and2: so 'sudo lspci | grep -i audio' just says intel? | 21:14 |
| and2 | capable but ubuntu recognizing the device everytime i reconnect the monitor, and recognizing the new audio device, so it should be working .. just no sound | 21:14 |
| and2 | sec | 21:14 |
| jl420 | TJ is it because of copywrite because it does it with every dvd | 21:15 |
| and2 | "00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) | 21:15 |
| and2 | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) | 21:15 |
| and2 | " | 21:15 |
| and2 | that is the output | 21:15 |
| capable | and2: alright, what I'd do is run 'alsamixer', and hit TAB and use the left/right arrow keys to move about, and find the channels that are toggles, that change options instead of just sound levels, and try toggling those | 21:16 |
| TJ- | jl420: possible the drive is damaged | 21:17 |
| and2 | capable all the channels have been unmuted etc. still no succes | 21:18 |
| jl420 | TJ even if it tells me the name of the movie and shows a disc symbol in the side bar? | 21:18 |
| capable | and2: it's not about muting, there should be toggles | 21:18 |
| capable | did you not read what I said? =) | 21:18 |
| and2 | well yea, it toggles between the different views =) ? | 21:19 |
| knob | wow.... I think I am really locked out of this TJ- | 21:19 |
| TJ- | jl420: There are all manner of reasons a drive can fail... some just don't like particular makes of disk, others are very picky about their tracking, and will only read a dick they also wrote | 21:19 |
| knob | jhutchins, I think... that I am sol | 21:19 |
| TJ- | knob: connect via the remote console, reboot to Recovery single-user mode, fix, reboot | 21:20 |
| knob | TJ-, ... hmm... googling that | 21:21 |
| knob | sounds like a plan | 21:21 |
| knob | TJ-, I got access with a secondary user | 21:22 |
| knob | Let me see if I can sudo up | 21:22 |
| TJ- | knob: as long as that user has sudo privs you're sorted then | 21:22 |
| jl420 | TJ before i did the change over from xp to ubuntu 14.04 I had no problem playing these same dvds. than i installed ubuntu using the live cd i made. Since than i cannot playback dvds. Not burnt ones or anything but real ones | 21:22 |
| knob | TJ-, sol again. This user is not in the sudoers file. | 21:23 |
| TJ- | knob: On remote servers I always have a back-up admin account that is used only for emergencies... in other words, sometimes never used at all :) | 21:23 |
| knob | grr | 21:23 |
| TJ- | knob: OK, it's console via IPMI, KVM, or what ever | 21:23 |
| jl420 | TJ thats what leads me to think the drive is fine and its something im missing. But u say that error in the kernal shows a bad disc or drive? | 21:23 |
| CryNickSystems | hi guys | 21:24 |
| TJ- | jl420: If all the discs are encrypted and you've not got libdvdcss correctly installed that could, maybe, cause this, but I'd be surprised it gives a sense error | 21:24 |
| TJ- | jl420: will the PC play regular audio CDs, for example? | 21:24 |

| knob | o_0 | 21:25 |
| TJ- | knob: instead of 'recovery', reboot, edit the Recovery GRUB menu item, and change "recovery" to "single" on the "linux ..." command-line, that should take it directly to runlevel 1 single-user shell | 21:27 |

| TJ- | r0x: You said the mouse freezes, and described a lot of disk activity. That suggests a combination of some process causing swap space to be used, which can lead to delayed input handling especially if only using the CFQ scheduler, rather than the Deadline. I'd keep a terminal open with "top" running in it, and see what it shows when the system next gets frozen | 21:53 |

| r0x | TJ-, i tried several times to change the disk scheduler but i don't get any improvment | 21:55 |
| skypce | jeje crazy fingers | 21:55 |
| Basketball | skypce: ActionParsnip is the best he used to help me all the time | 21:55 |
| skypce | great | 21:55 |
| skypce | let me take notes | 21:55 |
| TJ- | r0x: it isn't the disk scheduler, its the process scheduler | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Skypce: it will need installing extra but very handy and makes archibing and distribution (pun intended) easier | 21:56 |
| r0x | TJ-, but how is possible that with the default distro setting i get this sort of trouble? | 21:56 |
| skypce | thank you ActionParsnip nice to meet you | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | skypce: np matey | 21:56 |
| TJ- | r0x: Does it happen if you simply log-in and do *nothing* - as in, do not start any applications at all? | 21:57 |
| r0x | usually happens when i use chrome | 21:57 |
| TJ- | r0x: It sounds to me as if there might be a run-away Javascript in the browser, if that is the only process running when this happens. | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 21:57 |
| r0x | or when i run virtualbox | 21:57 |
| r0x | in this moment i can't access to the system | 21:58 |
| r0x | i'm writing from another pc | 21:58 |
| sywuys | Good like | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 do you get to TTY1? | 21:58 |
| r0x | nope | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Bah | 21:58 |
| r0x | it's totally frozen | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: is it a home build? Or is it a branded pc? | 21:59 |
| TJ- | r0x: Do you have to do a power reset to recover? | 21:59 |
| r0x | it's a laptop | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: what make and model please? | 21:59 |
| r0x | an asus k53sj | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: what releaee of Ubuntu did you install? | 22:00 |
| r0x | the latest available in this moment from the website | 22:01 |
| capable | r0x: that is not a version | 22:01 |
| r0x | but i had that problem since 12.04 | 22:01 |
| jl420 | capable I downloaded mplayer but when i try to launch it i get a fatal error about skins | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: seems to be a switching GPU, optimus | 22:01 |
| capable | jl420: downloaded? | 22:01 |
| capable | jl420: or ran sudo apt-get install mplayer ? | 22:02 |
| usr13 | r0x: cat /etc/issue | 22:02 |
| r0x | yes, but i never installed the nvidia drivers | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: did you instal bumblebee or nvidia-prime? | 22:02 |
| TJ- | r0x: If it is totally frozen and not responding, that points to a hardware issue. I'd be doing a soak-test of memory using memtest86+ available from the boot menu, and checking the system logs for clues ("/var/log/kern.log") | 22:02 |
| tac-tics | What is LVM for? | 22:02 |
| capable | tac-tics: people without foresight | 22:02 |
| tac-tics | that sounds a little like me... | 22:02 |
| TJ- | tac-tics: Logical Volume Management | 22:02 |
| capable | tac-tics: it makes it easy to change things to do with your partitions and filesystems after you've made them | 22:02 |
| capable | tac-tics: and a few other things | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: allows you to expand a filesystem by adding additional space to a pool | 22:03 |
| tac-tics | Does it complicate anything, or is it a no-briner choice? | 22:03 |
| capable | which most people don't care about or need =) | 22:03 |
| capable | tac-tics: it significantly complicates things | 22:03 |
| r0x | ActionParsnip, neither of two | 22:03 |
| tac-tics | kk | 22:03 |
| capable | tac-tics: but only if something goes wrong | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: is it a physical server? | 22:03 |
| capable | which happens =) | 22:03 |
| quantibility | alright xfce developers? | 22:03 |
| capable | quantibility: ? | 22:03 |
| jl420 | capable I try to launch mplayer and it gives me a fatal skin error and wont launch | 22:03 |
| quantibility | heh | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: you will need it to suport that technology | 22:03 |
| quantibility | xfce sucks. | 22:03 |
| tac-tics | hmmmm | 22:03 |
| quantibility | no offense | 22:03 |
| quantibility | sorry | 22:03 |
| quantibility | none | 22:03 |
| capable | jl420: sudo apt-get install mplayer; sudo mplayer -dvd-device /dev/sr0 dvd:// | 22:03 |
| tac-tics | this screen has the "continue" button greyed out :X | 22:03 |
| TJ- | !ot | quantibility | 22:03 |
| quantibility | just saying lol | 22:03 |
| ubottu | quantibility: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:04 |
| capable | quantibility: compared to what? | 22:04 |
| usr13 | quantibility: Do you have a question>? | 22:04 |
| quantibility | yes | 22:04 |
| quantibility | i do | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: or is it a vmware system or virtualbox? | 22:04 |
| tac-tics | no | 22:04 |
| tac-tics | it's a new laptop | 22:04 |
| tac-tics | just out of the box | 22:04 |
| jl420 | ok so install it from the terminal instead of the software center? | 22:04 |
| usr13 | quantibility: Ask it. (We are not interested in your opinions.) | 22:04 |
| r0x | ActionParsnip, whenever i tried to install the drivers, i got problems | 22:04 |
| capable | jl420: sure | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: then I doubt lvm will be useful to you. | 22:04 |
| tac-tics | well, I can't seem to proceed at all | 22:04 |
| tac-tics | It's the "Install Type" screen using a USB stick to install | 22:05 |
| r0x | so i decided to don't install nothing. I got a huge number of troubles installing the nvidia driver, even using apt | 22:05 |
| tac-tics | and the continue button is greyed out under every permutation of options I've chosen | 22:05 |
| quantibility | sorry no offense but after dealing with issues with xfce that i have had on SolusOS and Xubuntu i made an effort to bring it to the attention of the people who can do something about it and been self teaching myself programming since 11 however its been a while since i have touched it | 22:05 |
| jl420 | capable ill try un-installing and re-installing mplayer now than | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 22:05 |
| capable | jl420: k | 22:05 |
| quantibility | i am now 35 | 22:05 |
| tac-tics | ActionParsnip: I did not. | 22:05 |
| usr13 | r0x: What version of Ubuntu are you using? (What does cat /etc/issue say?) | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: then how do you know the data you downloaded was complete and consistent? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tac-tics: or did you download using torrents? | 22:06 |
| capable | tac-tics: what isn't grayed out? | 22:06 |
| r0x | usr13, as i said before, i had this problem since 12.04. So i don't think that the version is relevant | 22:06 |
| usr13 | r0x: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 22:07 |
| tac-tics | huh... it looks like a bug. I went back to the previous screen and forward again, and it's not greyed out | 22:07 |
| nightdemon666 | Can anyone help me with a firefox browser crashing issue please? | 22:07 |
| capable | tac-tics: good times | 22:07 |
| usr13 | nightdemon666: What seems to be the problem? | 22:07 |
| capable | nightdemon666: no, but some one possibly could | 22:07 |
| r0x | 14.04.1 | 22:07 |
| bobptz | my pc does not boot any more. Gives error: "Could not write bytes: broken pipes”. Can somebody help me? This is the dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7964696/ | 22:07 |
| usr13 | r0x: Fully updated? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:08 |
| TeraJL | hi there, how can i install notify-send? i don't use unity | 22:08 |
| usr13 | nightdemon666: What version of firefox are you running? | 22:08 |
| TeraJL | i'm with a minimal install | 22:08 |
| r0x | yes, it seems that more updates i install, more troubles i get | 22:08 |
| capable | TeraJL: ask apt-file | 22:08 |
| capable | TeraJL: what wm/DE are you using? | 22:08 |
| usr13 | r0x: After it is fully updated, come back if you still have a problem. | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !find notify-send | 22:09 |
| ubottu | File notify-send found in libnotify-bin, mikutter, ruby-notify | 22:09 |
| quantibility | USR13: i private messaged you the problem is all sorry for saying it sucks wish i could help develop it | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | TeraJL: sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin | 22:09 |
| nightdemon666 | Usr13, i have ubuntu 14.04.1 (64 bit mac) installed on an intel mac mini from 2007. Firefox seems to crash when playing youtube videos in full screen mode. Ive done a number of test to duplicate the fail, i also intend to test in non-full screen mode to see if it crashes | 22:09 |
| r0x | the last version that i'm able to use without problems date back to 2008 | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nightdemon666: does it happen in Chrome? | 22:10 |
| bobptz | my pc does not boot any more. Gives error: "Could not write bytes: broken pipes”. Can somebody help me? This is the dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7964696/ | 22:10 |
| tac-tics | ext4 is a good default for new general-purpose partitions, right? | 22:10 |
| high_fiver | bobptz, describe your partitioning scheme | 22:10 |
| Beldar | !patience | bobptz | 22:11 |
| ubottu | bobptz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:11 |
| TJ- | r0x: Have you examined "/var/log/kern.log" for signs of errors, such as disk I/O errors? | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: I had that, it was a dying hdd :-( | 22:11 |
| TJ- | tac-tics: Yes | 22:11 |
| capable | tac-tics: ^ | 22:11 |
| bobptz | I do not know my partitioning scheme. it is dual boot with windows 7 | 22:11 |
| nightdemon666 | Usr13, ive tried many tricks, not all have been performed yet (e.g running firefox in safe mode, or disabling each plugin/extension one by one), but im wondering if any one else has had this problem with ubuntu 14.04? | 22:11 |
| high_fiver | bobptz, did you install windows after ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| tac-tics | and if I have an SSD and a regular disk HD, I want to put / on the SSD and, say, /home on the regular HD? | 22:12 |
| r0x | TJ-, i will do asap | 22:12 |
| bobptz | high_fiver, don;t remember, I installed them 1 year ago. everything was fine until I upgraded ubuntu to new hardware | 22:13 |
| capable | bobptz: that sounds like an error after it has booted but before X starts | 22:13 |
| bekks | tac-tics: Put / and /home on the SSD, and /data on the HDD. | 22:13 |
| tac-tics | is that a non-insane setup, is what I'm asking | 22:13 |
| r0x | but i think to remember that wasn't nothing relevant in the logs | 22:13 |
| high_fiver | bobptz, which hardware did you upgrade? | 22:13 |
| tac-tics | bekks: and then just symlink to stuff in my home dir, I take it? | 22:13 |
| capable | tac-tics: if it all fits on the ssd, you could put it all there | 22:13 |
| bobptz | if you want more details, here is the forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2238041&p=13091428#post13091428 | 22:13 |
| bobptz | I upgraded through the upgrade manager of ubuntu | 22:14 |
| r0x | if is an hw failure, maybe the system has not had the time to log | 22:14 |
| bobptz | and then the problems started | 22:14 |
| r0x | but i will check better | 22:14 |
| bekks | tac-tics: No symlinks needed. | 22:14 |
| bobptz | I am sure it has to be some driver | 22:14 |
| capable | bobptz: you using nvidia? | 22:14 |
| r0x | and deeper | 22:14 |
| bobptz | I have intel graphics card | 22:14 |
| bobptz | but I dont know what driver I use | 22:14 |
| capable | bobptz: try mv'ing ~/.Xauthority elsewhere temporarily | 22:14 |
| nightdemon666 | Usr13, i have not tested with another browser yet, but have considered that also... Personally i really want to use the firefox browser only and im trying to avoid work arounds. I have run firefox in debug mode and have at least rid the messages for VDPAU | 22:14 |
| TJ- | bobptz: Have you tried booting it with an older kernel, by holding Shift key down as the PC starts until you see the Grub Boot Menu, then you can select an older kernel that is still installed. | 22:15 |
| bobptz | I have erased everything older from the Janitor - ubuntu tweak | 22:15 |
| bobptz | and this broke my system | 22:15 |
| TJ- | bobptz: uh-oh, that explains it :) | 22:16 |
| Beldar | bobptz, boot a live ubuntu and use the disks smart check on the HD. | 22:16 |
| bobptz | capable, I do not know how to do it | 22:16 |
| nightdemon666 | Usr13, sorry if that was too much info... | 22:16 |
| high_fiver | TJ-, what what? | 22:16 |
| capable | bobptz: mv -n ~/.Xauthority ~/oldxauthority | 22:16 |
| Beldar | ubuntu tweaks janitor will not cause this | 22:17 |
| bobptz | Beldar, it is a notebook, I am on vacation, I cnnot do live cd | 22:17 |
| Beldar | bobptz, Than use a usb. | 22:17 |
| jl420 | capable I have installed mplayer and tried the codes u suggested. mplayer wont even open from the interface some skin errors. And i cant post the results of the terminal here it wont let me | 22:17 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: have you tried full-screen videos played through, e.g., VLC? It may be related to hardware-accelerated MPEG videos being scaled to full-screen by the GPU driver | 22:18 |
| capable | jl420: 'mplayer' doesn't have an interface, so I'm not sure what you're talking about | 22:18 |
| tac-tics | does the EFI boot partition need to be any larger than 35mb? | 22:18 |
| tac-tics | or should I make it as small as possible? | 22:18 |
| high_fiver | tac-tics, 100 | 22:18 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- not on vlc, but i play full screen videos with no error on totem. | 22:18 |
| tac-tics | 100mb? | 22:18 |
| tac-tics | ok | 22:19 |
| high_fiver | tac-tics, max | 22:19 |
| capable | isn't it 100 min? | 22:19 |
| Beldar | bobptz, disks is an app | 22:19 |
| bobptz | capable, what will this do? do it from safe mode and then reboot | 22:19 |
| capable | bobptz: it will move a file that you can move right back if you want to | 22:19 |
| daftykins | tac-tics: 300MB would be worthwhile | 22:19 |
| high_fiver | on or the other, 100mb is a safe bet | 22:20 |
| capable | tac-tics: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:20 |
| tac-tics | what is it used for? | 22:20 |
| jl420 | capable o ok i meant when i try to launch it from the tool bar it gives me fatal skin errors. I guess thats why if it doesnt have a graphical interface. But the codes wont launch anything either | 22:20 |
| capable | all you need is to satisfy EFI, and leave room for a kernel if you want kernels in there | 22:20 |
| capable | jl420: ah, run the commands I gave from a terminal | 22:20 |
| TJ- | tac-tics: EFI SP can be as little as 25MB *if* there aren't going to be multiple OSes installed... it only needs enough to store the GRUB shim and bootx64.efi and mokmanager | 22:20 |
| abraxas__ | so does anybody here rice? | 22:20 |
| capable | tac-tics: just a stupid efi requirement =) | 22:21 |
| tac-tics | and I should probably allocate maybe a few gigs of swap on my slow HD just in case, right? | 22:21 |
| Beldar | abraxas__, Ask the actual question, if ubuntu related. | 22:21 |
| jl420 | capable I did run the commands from terminal but i cant seem to paste the rsults here | 22:21 |
| tac-tics | I have 8GB of physical ram already | 22:21 |
| capable | tac-tics: shouldn't hurt | 22:21 |
| bobptz | Beldar, if you suspect the disks, can I just check them from the windows side? | 22:21 |
| capable | tac-tics: swap is useful for suspend | 22:21 |
| tac-tics | ahhhh yeah | 22:22 |
| Beldar | bobptz, There are windows smart checks yes | 22:22 |
| capable | tac-tics: it doesn't actually sound like you will have any problem replacing your SSD in the theoretical event it expires | 22:22 |
| === pc_ is now known as Ace2Rcae | ||
| TJ- | tac-tics: hibernation requires RAM+"a little bit", e.g. 8.25GB for 8GB RAM should be sufficient | 22:22 |
| === Ace2Rcae is now known as Ace2Race | ||
| capable | tac-tics: so offloading writes to your HD is mostly a matter of preference/paranoia | 22:22 |
| bobptz | ok, I can do this | 22:22 |
| abraxas__ | alright, how do I edit the autostart file from Openbox on Ubuntu? I can't seem to find it | 22:22 |
| bobptz | Beldar, I thought you guys can look at me dmesg and pinpoint the problem | 22:23 |

| Footy | hi | 22:23 |
| capable | abraxas__: if you run 'man openbox', then type '/autostart', you will get your answer | 22:23 |

| abraxas__ | do i type '/autostart' from there? | 22:26 |
| capable | abraxas__: yes | 22:27 |
| capable | abraxas__: 'n' for next result | 22:27 |
| capable | 'N' for previous, 'q' to exit | 22:27 |
| capable | it will be the first result, though =) | 22:28 |
| TeMPOraL | guys, quick question - does anyone know if some recent update or sth. messed up with AltGR key? | 22:28 |
| TeMPOraL | it suddenly stopped working on the second machine for me now | 22:28 |
| TeMPOraL | right after reboot | 22:28 |
| capable | TeMPOraL: check what keyboard layout you're using | 22:29 |
| jl420 | capable is that all the information u have for me? | 22:29 |
| abraxas__ | capable, when I type "/autorun" in the documentation that comes up from "man openbox", it says pattern not recognized | 22:29 |
| capable | jl420: until you tell me you ran what I asked for... | 22:29 |
| TeMPOraL | capable: didn't change anything; now it shows "Level3 S...", I don't remember what it showed before reboot | 22:29 |
| === flauschomat is now known as fluffomat | ||
| capable | cap3lla: why did you type autorun if you asked about autostart? | 22:30 |
| capable | cap3lla: whoops | 22:30 |
| capable | abraxas__: why did you type autorun if you asked about autostart? | 22:30 |

| capable | TeMPOraL: so that's probably not the layout you want | 22:32 |
| abraxas__ | lol so I don't have an autostart.xml file in my .config folder, can I just make one? | 22:32 |
| TeMPOraL | capable: thanks, fixed by setxkbmap -layout pl | 22:32 |

| capable | well "words" | 22:33 |
| Beldar | Isvara, Looks like you need to remove any fglrx now there, beyond that any drivers not in the ubuntu repos are technically not supported here, unless you get help. | 22:33 |

| nightdemon666 | TJ- as far as im concerned, firefox is failing and i'd like to use it due to the features of no script. i have NOT found anything that competes, so i'd like to keep my firefox browser as defacto browser for the system. FYI, the system is being dedicated to being used as a media center server. I would like to provide users with ZERO crash records in firefox. | 23:40 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: No, entirely different reason: The installer ISO uses GRUB for the UEFI boot loader, but isolinux (i think) for the Legacy BIOS boot | 23:40 |
| jl420 | TJ no i dont think so I just follow the instructions vlc gives | 23:40 |
| adymitruk | daftykins: how do I do that? ssh -vvvv says "no route to host" | 23:41 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: I'm afraid I can't help you much on that; accelerated video issues need a lot of hands-on to debug most times | 23:41 |
| Ryezza | TJ: got it. I saw the GRUB boot menu once, I believe before I tinkered with the UEFI/BIOS settings and disabled Safe Boot, among other things | 23:41 |
| TJ- | jl420: OK ... that is the only thing I could think of that the 2 situations may have in common | 23:42 |
| daftykins | adymitruk: consult the documentation of the software you're using to establish the VPN | 23:42 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Yeah, that's it... with UEFI you've got to manually edit the boot menu to add options, in Legacy mode you get the nice language chooser and F6 advanced options chooser | 23:42 |
| adymitruk | I'm just using the build in ubuntu VPN client | 23:42 |
| adymitruk | networking add vpn | 23:43 |
| adymitruk | works from my android phone | 23:43 |
| adymitruk | doesn't from ubuntu laptop | 23:43 |
| TJ- | adymitruk: which type, OpenVPN? | 23:43 |
| adymitruk | same networks | 23:43 |
| jl420 | Does anybody else on here have a solution to the problem: I cannot playback video using vlc....I get an unable to open MRL error whether its a dvd or a URL or a file?????? | 23:43 |
| TJ- | jl420: give me a streaming URL that fails, let me test it from here | 23:43 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ-, to be more helpful on being informative, the issue with firefox crashing on full screen youtube videos has been a bug to squash before i established accelerated video, however, intel ecellerated video has been become an added plus... can you point me to some one who would be better capable of providing me help on the issue? | 23:43 |
| jl420 | TJ ok one sec | 23:44 |
| adymitruk | TJ-: I'm not sure | 23:44 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: I've not seen anyone particularly specialising in that. My first port of call would be to trawl bug reports in launchpad for similarities and hope there are workarounds/clues/solutions noted | 23:44 |
| Isvara | I'm almost ready to throw out my graphics cards and get an nVidia one just because installing an ATI driver is so utterly hopeless. | 23:44 |
| Ryezza | TJ: theres a difference in behavior with nomodeset. If I don't F6 + check that box the resolution changes to a small blinking cursor and then I get a black screen, with nomodeset it's same resolution blinking cursor forever | 23:45 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- i have been scraping the internets quite a bit for any clues, but nothing on spot. unfortunately this is a rare bug in my case alone. problem is, im running the software on a macmini! not many people who have the same hardware to rant bugs with :-( | 23:46 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: hardware failure of some sort? | 23:46 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: overheating possibly? | 23:47 |
| coolstar | is there any good streaming software for linux? | 23:47 |
| coolstar | I want to stream my desktop on Twitch | 23:47 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Hmmm! long shot, but have you tried manually editing the command line (before the "--" and removing any "quiet splash", add in "nomodeset" if it isn't there already, and also add "text", to see if the kernel will start in text mode | 23:48 |
| Ryezza | haven't tried, will give that a shot now | 23:48 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- i analyze the cpu performance on a separate computer logged in via ssh to watch the cpu. i dont think there is an 'htop' or gnome-system-monitor equivilant for GPU... or is there??? | 23:49 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: alternatively, stick an old video card in there to install, install the nvidia-340 drivers from the xorg-edgers PPA, then swap the GTX770 back in :) | 23:49 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- i dont see excessive CPU activity to warrant over heating. also the computer doesnt shutdown randomly on its own when worked | 23:49 |
| Ryezza | unfortunately my wife just chucked all my old gear, so I'm old-video-cardless :) | 23:49 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: some GPUs allow access to the temperatures, but it depends on which one. Nvidia's is only available via its nvidia-settings so far as I know | 23:50 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Borrow one from another PC for 1/2 hour? | 23:50 |
| quantibility | is there ANY way to reset the xfce bar to orginal stock? | 23:50 |
| quantibility | im having a problem with missing window buttons | 23:50 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- since this is an intel GPU, i dont seem to have that capibility, but again, i was having these issues before i installed VDPAU drivers to get hardware accerlation working so i cant pin the fail to GPU | 23:51 |
| Ryezza | TJ: I'm thinking of buying one from Best Buy or somewhere and returning it :). nomodeset + text is doing something tho | 23:51 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: maybe it's a case of video RAM choking? I've seen that happen with cards with 256 or even 512MB or VRAM when there's a lot of compositing also going on | 23:52 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: ooooo really? I hope it is the correct thing! | 23:52 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- i was inspired to install VDPAU support due to messages i saw in the debug mode of firefox. im glad i did now that i get *some* hardware acceleration, but i still get the same fail with or without | 23:52 |
| Ryezza | TJ: last command that showed was "status: {DRDY}" .../n "hard resetting link" | 23:54 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: when full-screen is the video the same resolution as the display, or is the display having to scale the video? I wonder if it might work with a video that is the same native resolution as the display | 23:54 |
| Ryezza | sitting there now | 23:54 |
| jl420 | TJ sorry for the delay heres a link that wont work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pB-5XG-DbAA | 23:54 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- in other words, i feel im going the wrong direction to point to gpu. since the fail was evident before the gpu was assisting with video rendering. i believe its a software fail, not a hardware fail, but keeping my mind open on hardware, just not the gpu considering the failure before gpu usefull drivers were installed. | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Hmmm, Drive Ready ... that suggests a disk failure | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: did you connect the drive(s) correctly ? | 23:55 |
| Ryezza | TJ: yeah, there's just one SATA SSD hooked up atm. But this is when running the "Run Ubuntu from CD" option with nomodeset text | 23:55 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: my point about scaling is, if it needs to do that, it may need double VRAM for the before and after buffers | 23:56 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- I have a 40 in flat panel lcd screen tv as the video output. signals are running VGA. | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Yes, but when the kernel starts, if you see that message, it is whilst the kernel is interrogating the hardware... as a test, try disconnecting that drive and see if the installer gets further | 23:56 |
| Ryezza | k | 23:56 |
| Ryezza | TJ: really appreciate the help on this btw | 23:57 |
| TJ- | nightdemon666: what pixel resolution though? If, for example, the video you're playing is 1080p and the screen were 720p, or the video is 720p and the screen 1080p, then scaling is needed. I'm wondering if you can ensure a 1:1 mapping to rule out scaling as a possible cause | 23:58 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- i was not having this issue wihen using acer aspire one netbook as the media center. although video output sucked in youtube via firefox and fullscreen, it did not fail in the case that it is failing now with mac mini. issues with aspire one were just not enough cpu power to render video smoothly. in the case of mac mini i have the power, just get the failures in fullscreen youtube videos only :-/ | 23:58 |
| jl420 | TJ did u try that URL i gave u | 23:59 |
