| Ryezza | TJ: same error message with no drives attached | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nightdemon666 | TJ- not a bad idea, ... i have tested in mostly 480p due to youtube defaulting to that resolution. the screen resolution is 1900 x 768 or something like that. again though, i did not have this type of fail using netbook with intel graphics using the same screen but running ubuntu 12.04 | 00:00 |
| jl420 | TJ if u get a chance a URL u know should work in vlc and ill try that | 00:01 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- this fail is tough because it takes a while for it to fail. i have to find a video with a play list to make it fail. It will eventually fail on its own, which sucks cuz users will usually continue to watch many videos one after the other. | 00:03 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- also much of the time, the computer is in use, so much of the test time as to be when people are NOT using it, and most of my work testing it is performed via ssh (command line) | 00:04 |
| nightdemon666 | TJ- basically, i set it up, allow users to use as they please (with in reason) then i get feed back from users about problems if any. then i can log in via ssh and resolve as needed. | 00:05 |
| nightdemon666 | any body, and i mean ANYBODY have a bit of experience in firefox crashes, fails etc...??? | 00:07 |
| TJ- | jl420: I tried it, running from the terminal "vlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pB-5XG-DbAA" and I get "gnutls tls session error: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated" | 00:07 |
| jl420 | can anyone on here help me playback media with vlc ubuntu 14.04 any help would be greatly apprecitaed | 00:07 |
| jl420 | TJ while i get unable to open MRL error same as with a dvd or file. Any ideas? | 00:08 |
| jl420 | TJ could u give me one to try that u know should work | 00:08 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, i have vlc running well on ubuntu 14.04 what your beef? | 00:09 |
| Loshki | nightdemon666: #firefox ? | 00:10 |
| nightdemon666 | loshki, yes like the web browser lol | 00:10 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 no matter what i try to play on vlc whether its dvd, file, or URL it says : unable to open MRL | 00:10 |
| TJ- | jl420: No, I don't mess about with videos | 00:10 |
| Loshki | nightdemon666: Sorry, I meant you should /join #firefox | 00:11 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Why do integrated menu bars not work as a super user? | 00:11 |
| nightdemon666 | oh, yeah sorry loshki, just got that.. i wondered if there was that channel with enough people to help. if i go into that channel i have to fight through people who are willing to help linuxers! | 00:11 |
| jl420 | TJ o i see ok thank u for all youe help. | 00:12 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, can you play the videos via totem? | 00:12 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 any input on my problem? | 00:12 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, yes trying to help see message above... | 00:12 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 no no luck in totem either | 00:13 |
| nightdemon666 | that is not good!!! jl420 | 00:14 |
| nightdemon666 | have you run totem via command line to see what output of errors come up jl420? | 00:14 |
| TJ- | jl420: This works: "vlc http://youtube.com/watch?v=GQe3JxJHpxQ" | 00:14 |
| TJ- | jl420: I think the videos you are trying to view are protected by DRM | 00:15 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 no i have not... could u please give me the command | 00:15 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420 gimme a sec on that... | 00:15 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, looks like you can type 'usr/lib/totem' in terminal to run totem via terminal. that way you can see failure messages as the program runs. run a file firest. lets squash that before we go further with dvd's and such... | 00:17 |
| Loshki | jl420: vlc http://youtube.com/watch?v=GQe3JxJHpxQ plays for me, *despite* also throwing a "[0x7f633400b6e8] gnutls tls client error: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received" error and a couple of Qt4 errors | 00:17 |
| Ryezza | TJ: the DRDY error is right after "failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE" and a few other errors | 00:18 |
| AcidRain2012 | ubuntu 12 LTS. what options do i use to mount all drives at login. NOT boot/startup | 00:18 |
| nightdemon666 | loshki, jl420 is not even able to play via totem | 00:18 |
| nightdemon666 | FYI | 00:18 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Hmmm, packet device? | 00:18 |
| AcidRain2012 | rly i need all of my drives to mount after startup. idc when. just not during. | 00:19 |
| Ryezza | TJ: comp isn't hooked up to a network, we're wireless only here. Related? | 00:19 |
| zacwalls | how do i install ubuntu desktop in xubuntu? | 00:19 |
| AcidRain2012 | for some reason i ALWAYS get failed to mount devices. press s to skip or keep waiting. needless to say i will wait forever. once i login and do a sudo mount -a. all drives get instantly mounted. very quickly | 00:19 |
| daftykins | zacwalls: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Well, that's easy... you've hooked up the DVD player to a SATA port, and the SATA controller cannot handle the ATAPI commands sent to it | 00:20 |
| zacwalls | okay | 00:20 |
| AcidRain2012 | im looking at fstab | 00:20 |
| AcidRain2012 | right now i have all drives to mount on network connection. which is established before login | 00:20 |
| Ryezza | TJ: ahh... yeah the DVD player is SATA | 00:20 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: well, do you wanna fix the "press s to skip' problem or do you wanna do the 'late mount workaround'? | 00:21 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 i will give this a try. | 00:21 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: how difficult would it be to fix these issues? | 00:21 |
| jl420 | could someone please give me the commands to change dvd region setting using terminal | 00:21 |
| Ryezza | TJ: whats the fix tho? Both my DVD drives are SATA only | 00:21 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: That can be fixed in 2 ways: 1) switch the DVD player to a SATA port on another controller (many mobo's have multiple controllers), or 2) after installation, edit the udev rule that tries to set up persistent storage rules for ATAPI devices | 00:21 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: not sure yet. How many disks do you have, and what all is on them? | 00:21 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Are you booting from them, or from a USB? | 00:21 |
| AcidRain2012 | 4 disks. and rly its a LOT of data | 00:22 |
| Ryezza | TJ: booting from DVD. I can try the other SATA controller, there are two | 00:22 |
| peloverde | Is there a way to reset unity to the default settings? when I wipe dconf I wind up logging in to Adwaita as my theme | 00:22 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| AcidRain2012 | roughly 6TB in use across all 4. 8TB total space | 00:22 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: My bet is that will fix that issue, if the other controller is not SATA3 .. | 00:22 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: what about the 'system' disk, which OS(es) etc? | 00:22 |
| nightdemon666 | any time you need to troubleshoot an application, you want to know that you can type 'whereis (app name)' and usually its in /usr/bin.. that way you can see when there are failures and it helps provide some clue on resolution... jl420, have you installed all the gstreamer plugins??? | 00:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | only 1 os. ubuntu 12. the rest are just storage | 00:23 |
| TJ- | peloverde: "unity --reset" I think | 00:23 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: 12.04 LTS ? | 00:23 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, inknow that video "should" lay via vlc out of the box, but just asking... | 00:23 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: set them to 'noauto' in /etc/fstab | 00:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: this has rly been an issue since day one. yes 12.04 | 00:23 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: put your sudo mount command into your DE autostart | 00:23 |
| peloverde | TJ-: "ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated" | 00:23 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: or even your ~/.bash_profile/rc | 00:23 |
| jl420 | could someone please tell me the commands to change region setting on dvd drive??????? | 00:23 |
| capable | jl420: I thought TJ- determined that wasn't your issue | 00:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: then i would have to provide a password. i either want this to happen after i login. keep doing it manually. or be fixed. | 00:24 |
| AcidRain2012 | im rly tired of seeing this issue | 00:24 |
| TJ- | jl420: I gave it to you earlier; you ran it! | 00:24 |
| TJ- | jl420: Did you test that Youtube video that 2 of us have confirmed will play using vlc? | 00:24 |
| jl420 | capable yes but everything people have told me i have copied all the commands and id like to save them. I accidentaly erased the ones for the region code | 00:25 |
| TJ- | peloverde: Scrap Unity! I swear the programmers deliberately want to antagonise the users! Try "man unity" there may be an alternative option! | 00:25 |
| jl420 | yes that video didnt work either | 00:25 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420 doesnt seem to be able to play anything via vlc totem or what ever... that cray cray :-/ | 00:25 |
| Ryezza | TJ: other controller, same DRDY error | 00:25 |
| TJ- | jl420: then you've got something wrong on your system - that was an unencrypted video | 00:25 |
| capable | jl420: it's all over the internet, you don't need to save it | 00:26 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: You're not having much luck! In the firmware I bet you can set the sata controller mode(s) for one of the other... maybe try that? | 00:26 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 the only way i can watch a video is through chromium and it lags and doesnt work very well at all. | 00:26 |
| TJ- | jl420: don't go changing region settings unless you know that is the cause, you'll just mess up the hardware | 00:26 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: well, first, I think we should fsck your system disk. Can you pastebin the output of "df" and "fdisk -l" ? | 00:26 |
| Ryezza | TJ: I'll take a look and see what options are there. What mode am I looking for? | 00:27 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: I'm unsure, I'd use intuition on that | 00:27 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, the region code is only useful for dvd playback, which i suggest you not test yet until you get playback from files... jl420, can you please tell me what hardware you are operating on? | 00:27 |
| jl420 | capable true i guess sorry im just really trying to learn and remember all this command stuff | 00:27 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: possible something like "compatibility", but I've only seen this on a couple of systems so not sure what might be there | 00:27 |
| peloverde | TJ-: It's frustrating that implementation details change wildly between releases making things ungoogleable | 00:27 |
| TJ- | peloverde: Agreed. I use KDE, Unity is definitely not my cup of tea! | 00:28 |
| capable | jl420: install hexchat, use that for IRC instead of the webchat, and enable logging | 00:29 |
| capable | jl420: you'll never want for a command again | 00:29 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: http://pastebin.com/xwUqSgmd | 00:29 |
| AcidRain2012 | i also included my current fstab | 00:30 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: sry. to revise the issue: 2 drives are not properly mounting. Server and Server2. the mirrors of those drives (seen in my posted fstab) also do not work. i only assume simply because the drives were never mounted | 00:30 |
| jl420 | nightdemon666 its an older laptop its a dell latitude d610 probably easier for u to find it that way than me type everything | 00:30 |
| Ryezza | TJ: not seeing a lot of options. ASPM Support is disabled, SATAExpress_E1 SRIS Support is on auto. That's about it for both controllers | 00:31 |
| jl420 | capable awesome!! thank u for that advice | 00:31 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: ASPM can be useful, but don't change for now! Well, no use there either then. What is the make/model of the mobo? | 00:32 |
| Ryezza | ASUS z97-Deluxe | 00:32 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: i prefer kvirc over hexchat/xchat/mirc/icechat/etc... check it out. | 00:33 |
| skypce | hello again | 00:33 |
| skypce | what is the hook dir? | 00:33 |
| skypce | https://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks | 00:33 |
| skypce | deps dir is the folder with sources? | 00:34 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, i am running a dell latitiude d600 right now, i can run totem all i want. you are running ubuntu 14.04 right? unity version? | 00:34 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: ok, first mod. Make a backup copy of /etc/fstab. In /etc/fstab, lines 62 & 63 of your paste, two lines ending in zeros. That last zero says "never fsck this file". Change both lines to end "...0 1" instead. | 00:35 |
| AcidRain2012 | hey cool. i got the dell latitude d620. u can get em off ebay for about 120$/ea after shipping | 00:35 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: I don't use KDE or Qt =) | 00:35 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Are you good at crying? | 00:35 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: done | 00:35 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: surely that didnt fix it... | 00:35 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: "*4 : These SATA ports are for data hard drivers only. ATAPI devices are not supported" ... see "Storage" http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97DELUXENFC_WLC/specifications/ | 00:36 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: ouch... missin out bro :P | 00:36 |
| Ryezza | TJ: ah, nice catch. dang | 00:36 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: no no, I've tried it =) | 00:36 |
| capable | not my cup of tea | 00:36 |
| nightdemon666 | jl420, need feed back from you sir... | 00:36 |
| === Sachiru is now known as Guest35658 | ||
| AcidRain2012 | capable: what you run? | 00:37 |
| === Sachiru_ is now known as Sachiru | ||
| capable | AcidRain2012: Xfce most of the time | 00:37 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: doesn't that mobo have some grey SATA sockets on the Intel Z97 chipset? | 00:37 |
| Ryezza | looking now | 00:37 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: i like xfce. i installed it on a few slower desktops/laptops that just couldnt handle the stress of KDE or Qt. or unity for that matter. | 00:37 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: xfce makes whatever you put it on run FAST | 00:38 |
| AcidRain2012 | i saw a huge difference in speed | 00:38 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: no, but now those disks will be fscked automatically periodically. If you type fsck now, it should find and fsck your two media disks. This will take some time. Wanna do it now, or wait? | 00:38 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: From what I can see in that spec, without fetching the manual, there are colours denoting each controller's ports, | 00:38 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: yeah, it's even faster if you disable all the GNOME stuff | 00:38 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: im scared to run that. lol | 00:38 |
| capable | I also find that upstream throws fewer surprising drastic changes at their users | 00:38 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: these drives contain alot of data that i dont have money to backup right now. | 00:39 |
| peloverde | I tried running XFCE but it seemed super broken on 14.04, I couldn't do anything to turn off tearing, Greybird was buggy, and chrome menus were all screwed up | 00:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: in the event that it did find something wrong with it. i dont want it to try and fix it on its own. | 00:39 |
| Busserl | Unity used about 700MB RAM, last time I tried it. | 00:40 |
| capable | I don't use GTK+3 with Xfce yet | 00:41 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: I understand, but better to run it now, while you can watch it, than during boot, when all you can do is drum your fingers. Pls. stand by... | 00:41 |
| capable | (or with Ubuntu =P) | 00:41 |
| terry | tried and tried to find the answer to this...can someone please help....I have a Dell inspiron 1727, I need to know the size of the hard drive that came with this model...I put Ubuntu 14.04 on this machine and it showed 160gb drive,,,,,I think it is much bigger but not sure | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: what have you got me into | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | lol | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | ok. i just run sudo fsck? | 00:42 |
| capable | terry: sudo fdisk -l | 00:42 |
| zacwalls | how do i check what vertion of ubuntu i have? | 00:42 |
| terry | capable, : hang on please | 00:43 |
| capable | zacwalls: cat /etc/*release* /etc/*version* | 00:43 |
| zacwalls | is that a command? | 00:44 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: we've only done one edit, easily backed out if needed. Next, run "fsck -p /media/Server". The "-p (preen)" option is considered safe. | 00:44 |
| capable | zacwalls: yup | 00:44 |
| Eddy2014 | hi | 00:44 |
| zacwalls | aha | 00:44 |
| Eddy2014 | Im new | 00:44 |
| terry | capable, : it shows 160 gig but I think it is closer to 300 gig and some of hd got hidden when ubuntu installed | 00:44 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: page 1-36 of the manual seems to indicate the Intel ports in blocks A and B - the Intel ports are the outboard side ports, the AS Media controller ports are inboard | 00:44 |
| capable | terry: what makes you think that | 00:44 |
| capable | Eddy2014: hi | 00:45 |
| capable | terry: if it says 160 at the top, that's all there is | 00:45 |
| Ryezza | TJ: looking at that page now | 00:45 |
| capable | terry: okay actually I can think of _one_ way you wouldn't see extra space that was really there | 00:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: lulz. that command is extremely scary | 00:45 |
| capable | terry: and that's if your BIOS is configured to pretend the drive is two separate drives, for raid or something | 00:45 |
| terry | capable, : the system had windows on it, and showed better than 300 gig | 00:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | Warning: that filesystem is mounted. if you continue you will cause extreme filesystem damage. | 00:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | :/ | 00:46 |
| capable | terry: look in your BIOS options for sata/raid | 00:46 |
| TJ- | terry: "grep 'logical blocks' /var/log/dmesg" will show you the drive sizes reported to the kernel | 00:46 |
| Eddy2014 | whats Ubuntu channel for?> | 00:46 |
| Izura | hello room. anyone had any problems installing most up2date version of clamav in 14.04.1? | 00:46 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: oops. Dismount it first! | 00:46 |
| capable | Eddy2014: Ubuntu | 00:46 |
| peloverde | Is there a minimal kde package for ubuntu? | 00:46 |
| Eddy2014 | yes whats Ubuntu for? | 00:46 |
| zacwalls | okay now how do i do a fresh install of 14.04.1 i dont really know how to do one but i kind of do. i know i need a stick wich i have on hand but...i dont know what to do after that. | 00:46 |
| terry | TJ-, : do i do "sudo" with that | 00:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: ok. i did sudo umount /media/Server | 00:46 |
| capable | peloverde: you can pick and choose what packages you want | 00:46 |
| Ryezza | TJ: this stuff is like Greek to me tho. there are 6 SATA ports on the top connector and 4 (plus 2 mini) on the bottom one | 00:47 |
| AcidRain2012 | and tried again. says its still mounted :L/ | 00:47 |

| Ryezza | TJ: I initially had the drive plugged into the very top slot above A, then into the top slot on B in the picture | 00:47 |
| TJ- | terry: I have my user account with permanent admin privileges so I sometimes forget what needs sudo :) | 00:47 |
| Eddy2014 | how do i ask #2001 | 00:47 |
| morsing_ | capable: cs 1.6, i have disabled vsync in the game. But it were still capped at 60 fps | 00:47 |

| terry | i have 2 talking to me...sorry just need one...cant keep up with both | 00:48 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: are you sure you typed the correct path. You can try "fsck -p /dev/sdd1" instead. | 00:48 |
| Ryezza | TJ: hmm, those are both ASMedia. Maybe I need one of the Intel internal ports on A | 00:48 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: top-slot on A are all on the ASMedia controller; top slot on B could be either, depending on if you used the in-board socket (ASMedia) or out-board (Intel) | 00:48 |
| capable | terry: /lastlog terry | 00:48 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: You've got it :) | 00:49 |
| Eddy2014 | ask #2001 | 00:49 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: yes | 00:49 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: I have to say that is a very messed up way of laying out sockets to deliberately catch you out | 00:49 |
| Eddy2014 | ./join #001 | 00:49 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: appears the system is detecting it as mounted even though its not | 00:49 |

| AcidRain2012 | like i said. mounting has never been an issue, only at boot time. unmounting however, has always been an issue | 00:52 |
| capable | Eddy2014: ask #mirc | 00:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | try #mirc2001 | 00:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | i heard they got good stuff | 00:52 |
| skypce | TJ-, pbuilder allow to me create a package without install packages in my system? | 00:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | =))))))))))))))))))) | 00:52 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: you get it sorted? | 00:52 |
| Eddy2014 | lol | 00:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: no. | 00:53 |
| AcidRain2012 | cant unmount the disks | 00:53 |
| skypce | it creates something like a virtual machine | 00:53 |
| skypce | i dont have glib vxx but i was created pbuilder trusty that have this version | 00:53 |
| TJ- | skypce: The process is: 1) get source package 2) edit it ready for building 3) test-build the source in a chroot/pbuild/VM environment to ensure the dependencies are correct 4) ship binary packages | 00:53 |
| Eddy2014 | damn i havent been on here for 13 years | 00:53 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: why not? | 00:54 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: and why does it matter if the idea was to mount them | 00:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: http://pastebin.com/Fczh7Kya idk | 00:54 |
| skypce | i am confused | 00:54 |
| skypce | :S | 00:54 |
| TJ- | skypce: I'd gathered that | 00:54 |
| skypce | i back in a moment | 00:54 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: you umount mount points, not devies | 00:54 |
| capable | devices* | 00:54 |
| zacwalls | kay now how do i do a fresh install of 14.04.1 i dont really know how to do one but i kind of do. i know i need a stick wich i have on hand but...i dont know what to do after that. | 00:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: Loshki told me to run fsck on them. says its dangerous to run while they are mounted | 00:54 |
| Ryezza | TJ: different socket same result. I'm still not clear on what out-board is though | 00:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: i also ran sudo umount /media/Server | 00:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | says thats not mounted either. first time i ran it it told me it unmounted it | 00:55 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: 'mount' will tell you their paths | 00:55 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: Look at the diagram on page 1-36. The Intel sockets on port-set B are highlighted, and are the 3 ports on the outside edge of the mobo. In constrast, on the next page, the ASMedia ports on the B port-set are the 3 ports closer to the middle of the mobo | 00:56 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: this is starting to make me uneasy. Are you able to boot the live cd? This would all be much easier... | 00:56 |
| Ryezza | TJ: gocha. Yeah I've currently got it in SATA6G_1, which should be one of the Intel connectors | 00:57 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: you get lost typing m-o-u-n-t ? | 00:57 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: you said you had 2 DVD drives? | 00:57 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: lol. what are you getting at? | 00:57 |
| Ryezza | TJ: correct. Have tried both now tho | 00:57 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: i saw that /media/Server/My_Documents/My_Videos/ was mounted somewhere else. so i umount'ed that | 00:58 |
| AcidRain2012 | still same issue. that was its last mount point | 00:58 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: make sure they're both in Intel ports... otherwise the kernel can still hang when the ATAPI commands are sent | 00:58 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: what issue? | 00:58 |
| Ryezza | TJ: hmm, k. will verify that | 00:58 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: I am *assuming*, since the manual specifically says the ASMedia controller does *not* support ATAPI, that it is inferring that this Intel controll should/does! | 00:58 |
| AcidRain2012 | capable: the issue that terminal says its still mounted when i run fsck -p /media/Server | 00:58 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: If both DVD drives are on the Intel ports, then in the Firmware ensure the Intel mode is AHCI not RAID | 00:59 |
| zacwalls | kay now how do i do a fresh install of 14.04.1 i dont really know how to do one but i kind of do. i know i need a stick wich i have on hand but...i dont know what to do after that. | 00:59 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: you need to do the following: 1) fsck your data disks, 2) fsck your system disk 3) fix your mounting anomalies 4) back up your data. Since your system appears corrupted (can't unmount, for example) it's harder to do this while it's running, so the live cd avoids this. Am I making sense yet? | 00:59 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: If you still get the error, the motherboard doesn't like ATAPI devices | 00:59 |
| Ryezza | TJ: had one drive still in the other port, gonna move it now. Tough to move under the 770 | 00:59 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: capable i wont lie. im getting scared that im giong to lose some data in this. these drives are brand new as of about 2 months ago. im going to backout man. thx for the help | 01:00 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: I know, you need minature robots to move cables around sometimes | 01:00 |
| AcidRain2012 | Loshki: the system has been running great since i installed it about 2yrs ago. ive just always had this issue | 01:00 |
| AcidRain2012 | ive rly got too much stuff to turn back | 01:00 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: I'm not interested in fsck | 01:01 |
| TJ- | AcidRain2012: check all mounts that are active with "cat /proc/mounts" - you might find a device is mounted at more than one mount-point | 01:01 |
| capable | AcidRain2012: you know an fsck will take AGES for large drives, right? | 01:02 |
| capable | it will take lifetimes | 01:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | ye. Loshki lets take a few steps back. if the system crashes. thats fine. no worries. but i absolutely cannot lose these disks. | 01:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | i simply want the drives to mount, and not question me about it. | 01:02 |
| capable | the system will fsck them regularly by default, IME | 01:02 |
| capable | so I wouldn't worry they need some immediate fsck for no particular reason | 01:03 |
| Loshki | AcidRain2012: your disks haven't been fscked since you installed them. You could be accumulating write errors as we speak until suddenly, eek, you can't find your data. Not to mention disk failures, which can happen at any time. And you have no backups for irreplaceable data. Just saying... | 01:03 |

| TJ- | Ryezza: You're able to continue now, then? | 01:07 |
| capable | jl420: I'd enable both | 01:07 |
| Ryezza | TJ: yeah I think I'm good. can't thank you enough for your help, I would've been stuck forever | 01:07 |
| capable | jl420: but conversations to disk is the big one | 01:07 |
| capable | aliteralmind: what's up? | 01:07 |
| TJ- | Ryezza: you're welcome... i'm gonna get my head into a great audiobook now and try to forget SATA nightmares :) | 01:07 |

| capable | aliteralmind: okay, and what's the problem? | 01:10 |
| aliteralmind | capable Huh. I see that now. | 01:10 |
| Loshki | aliteralmind: no idea, but clearly you're missing Python.h: Fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory. What's up with that? | 01:10 |
| capable | aliteralmind: why's it so important to use digitalocean for this? | 01:11 |
| aliteralmind | I don't know! I just started using Digital Ocean (and Ubuntu) for the first time a few hours ago. Python 2.6 and 3.4 are both installed. I'm following their step-by-step, and this is what happened. | 01:12 |
| capable | aliteralmind: are you doing it just as a learning exercise, or is the specific end result somehow important? | 01:12 |
| capable | 'cause if it's the latter, you should choose something that doesn't make it so hard =P | 01:12 |
| capable | aliteralmind: oh I take it back, this isn't that bad, nevermind | 01:13 |
| aliteralmind | I need a non Windows server that will allow me to show off my Django skills in interviews. I don't have a laptop, and can't lug around my desktop. | 01:13 |

| aliteralmind | capable Being on Windows is also making it difficult to get support, since Windows is the black sheep in the hard-core programmer world, it seems. | 01:14 |
| aliteralmind | capable At least as far as deploying interactive websites is concerned. | 01:15 |
| capable | aliteralmind: it's quite a terrible OS, that is true | 01:15 |
| aliteralmind | capable That make sense? | 01:15 |
| Loshki | aliteralmind: found that Python.h file yet? | 01:15 |
| capable | aliteralmind: but it's only a black sheep amongst sane people =) it's still very popular in the world of business, alas | 01:15 |
| capable | aliteralmind: sure | 01:16 |
| terry | aleksander, : little hint....type the first few letters of name and hit the tab key,, put in the semicoline yours self....... | 01:16 |
| aliteralmind | capable So today Django support people urged me to get onto a Unix/Linux box, and suggested Digital Ocean. | 01:16 |

| capable | aliteralmind: will if you need to find it | 01:28 |
| jgrevich | daftykins: I’ve never seen an ethernet iface named anythign else than ethN. My only concern is that some programs/scripts may expect a default eth0 | 01:29 |
| Basketball | bazhang: Virtual packages like 'teamviewer' can't be removed | 01:29 |
| capable | don't think I've ever seen such a script =) | 01:29 |
| aliteralmind | Loshki: "locate Python.h", from the root directory, gave no response, which I presume means no results. I'm honestly not sure what good it would be even if I did find it. | 01:29 |
| Loshki | aliteralmind: find /usr -iname python.h -ls | 01:30 |

| annoymouse | capable: Just to prove it to you http://i.imgur.com/GQtFjGF.png | 01:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | nightdemon666: I choose to not stream from youtube, my line isn't the best.. You can stream into various things though, if you like that. Otherwise I have no solution for flash. | 01:53 |

| apb1963 | so i was reading up on VNC a little bit... found a tutorial which seems to imply if I install a desktop on the machine with the VNC server, that I can use that desktop GUI on the client machine, by installing a VNC client.... but, I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not? | 01:54 |
| skypce | i need change to ubuntu trusty | 01:54 |
| nightdemon666 | i think the real issue is 64 bit OS and flash on mac hardware :-( | 01:54 |
| mystic | ZNC. :) | 01:55 |
| capable | nightdemon666: what's the problem? | 01:55 |
| annoymouse | totem: Ubuntu was a LiveUSB actually | 01:56 |
| ObrienDave | Blue11, look under the System menu | 01:56 |
| capable | totem: just ask #macos how to change your hostname | 01:56 |
| capable | #macosx | 01:56 |

| ObrienDave | Blue11, look under the System menu or Settings. Printers are not in my settings manager either | 01:57 |
| capable | nightdemon666: ? | 01:58 |
| nightdemon666 | capabl, the problem is that youtube videos will stream well for a while in full screen, then i hear drum sound and the video stops, but the audio plays for a few seconds more, and then stops. | 01:58 |
| capable | nightdemon666: and then? | 01:58 |
| nightdemon666 | firefox doesnt respond. i have to kill firefox to get it back to working order | 01:59 |
| nightdemon666 | at first i was ssh-ing in, and killing firefox, then i started using the bluetooth wireless keyboard to alt+tab back to the desktop | 01:59 |
| zykotick9 | Blue11: if you have cups installed, you could use the web interface (runs on port 631, so http://localhost:631 might work) | 01:59 |
| nightdemon666 | right now i can t even click on youtube searches from totem to get the to play :-( | 02:00 |

| zacwalls | capable, how do i get to the directory? | 02:16 |

| Goose_slapper | cd means change directior, its a command | 03:27 |

| Goose_slapper | readlink install | 03:29 |
| phunyguy | WACOMalt: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common | 03:29 |
| phunyguy | then you will have that command | 03:29 |
| zacwalls | how | 03:29 |
| WACOMalt | ah ok. thank you | 03:29 |
| Goose_slapper | zacwalls: In terminal type: readlink install | 03:29 |
| zacwalls | i did | 03:29 |
| zacwalls | do i need sudo? | 03:30 |
| Goose_slapper | what did it output | 03:30 |
| Goose_slapper | no | 03:30 |
| zacwalls | no command | 03:30 |
| zacwalls | found | 03:30 |
| Goose_slapper | what is the install file called again? | 03:30 |
| WACOMalt | hmm. I'm running as sudo, but getting this? WARNING:root:could not open file '/etc/apt/sources.list' | 03:30 |
| zacwalls | its install | 03:31 |
| zacwalls | :) | 03:31 |
| Goose_slapper | hrmm so it seems to be linking to nothing then.. Anyone know the link the the install script? | 03:31 |
| Goose_slapper | path, that is | 03:31 |
| yggdrasil | daftykins: you think rufus will work ok ? | 03:31 |
| phunyguy | WACOMalt: strange | 03:32 |
| WACOMalt | the file exists, I just checked | 03:32 |
| zacwalls | ubuntu is the file and it says it has no link | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | WACOMalt: is this on a VPS or anything? | 03:32 |
| WACOMalt | a dedicated server, yes | 03:32 |
| WACOMalt | never had an issue adding ppas before | 03:32 |
| daftykins | yggdrasil: if creating from Windows, universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | errr.... maybe the provider locks that out? | 03:32 |
| Eric^^ | !aptlock | WACOMalt | 03:32 |
| ubottu | WACOMalt: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | hmmm | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | ahh is it a lock? | 03:32 |
| Goose_slapper | zacwalls: the file is named ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| yggdrasil | thank you. | 03:33 |
| zacwalls | yes | 03:33 |
| null0x08 | zacwalls NOOOOOB!!!!!!!!!! | 03:33 |

| Goose_slapper | then show me the output | 03:33 |
| phunyguy | sorry about that | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | hehe | 03:33 |
| zacwalls | for what | 03:33 |
| WACOMalt | hmm, those commands returned nothing, but still seems to be locked (if it is indeed a lock) | 03:33 |
| phunyguy | he left too quick and my alias failed. | 03:33 |
| Goose_slapper | the command: ls | 03:33 |
| phunyguy | (again) | 03:34 |
| Eric^^ | WACOMalt: do you have any terminals running anything software/apt-get related? | 03:34 |
| zacwalls | okay | 03:34 |
| WACOMalt | Eric^^, nope | 03:34 |
| Eric^^ | WACOMalt: software-center ? | 03:34 |
| Goose_slapper | zacwalls: the output? | 03:34 |
| linuxuz3r | a | 03:34 |
| WACOMalt | Eric^^, this is headless, so nope | 03:34 |

| Eric^^ | WACOMalt: is the file there? ls /etc/apt | grep sources.list | 03:36 |
| WACOMalt | yes there is | 03:36 |
| WACOMalt | my sources.list.save is much much longer | 03:36 |
| WACOMalt | ls -l | 03:36 |
| WACOMalt | whoops, wrong window | 03:37 |
| sydney | WACOMalt: i do that all the time LOL | 03:37 |
| sydney | WACOMalt: even with my passowds. :P | 03:37 |
| zacwalls | what do i do now? | 03:37 |
| sydney | [asswprds* | 03:37 |
| WACOMalt | can someone post the text of a fresh ubuntu install's sources.list? | 03:38 |
| zacwalls | that would be awesome | 03:38 |

| ObrienDave | WACOMalt, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php | 03:39 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, You can make one here. ^^^^^ | 03:39 |
| WACOMalt | I installed zpanel earlier today. hoping it doesnt get messed up by my sources being borked | 03:39 |
| Beldar | one gold star for ObrienDave | 03:39 |
| ObrienDave | awwwww *blushes* | 03:40 |
| operative | i also have a question. Is anyone else experiencing issues with ethernet connections? if so, how did you get passed this please, | 03:40 |
| Beldar | ;) | 03:40 |
| WACOMalt | ObrienDave, Beldar is there any way to just choose "default" ? | 03:40 |
| WACOMalt | I dont know what to check | 03:40 |
| ObrienDave | operative, what kind of issue? | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | operative ... useless question. try this... "I'm having THIS problem with THIS issue" provide details. the literal answer to your original question is "yes" or "no". | 03:41 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, Make a new one and replace it using that sites source builder. | 03:41 |
| operative | icfhowlett, m not able to connect, only via wireless | 03:41 |
| zacwalls | how can i use the list | 03:41 |
| operative | I tried the forums and google for suggestions | 03:41 |
| WACOMalt | Beldar, I get that. but depending on what I choose this may not be the same as a fresh install's sources | 03:41 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, I'm assuming you have not added 3rd parties to it. | 03:41 |
| WACOMalt | I want whatever the defaults were | 03:41 |
| zacwalls | im screwed | 03:42 |
| WACOMalt | I had added btsync, and zpanel | 03:42 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, Have you looked at the link? | 03:42 |
| operative | cfhowlett, I also tried setting the bios incade it was something there | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | !network | 03:42 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | !ethernet | 03:42 |
| WACOMalt | Beldar, unless you sent another? This one has a ton of checkboxes and I dont know what is on by default | 03:42 |
| operative | yes, i want the ability for wired connection | 03:42 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, there are two sources list the one I saw you mention is sources.list.d the default is sources.list | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | operative, bios? set bios back to networking defaults | 03:43 |
| WACOMalt | is there any way to tell if my sources.list is actually messed up? the only reason I think it is is the squar character at position 3 on the first line. http://i.imgur.com/12evAyA.png | 03:43 |
| ObrienDave | OMG, people, PLEASE give us a chance to help you instead of asking and playing while waiting for an answer | 03:43 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, It is straight forward if you understand how the sources work. | 03:43 |
| operative | i clicked default and nothing changed. I had hoped it was something I clicked accidentally. | 03:43 |
| WACOMalt | yes, it is. If you know what repos come enabled in ubuntu by default | 03:44 |
| WACOMalt | which I dont. | 03:44 |
| zacwalls | im not getting help i just want to clarify. | 03:44 |
| WACOMalt | for example. should I choose Backports? is that on by default in ubuntu? | 03:44 |
| cfhowlett | operative, got it. has the ethernet ever worked under ubuntu? | 03:44 |
| WACOMalt | Universe? no idea | 03:44 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, who's fault is that? And why should we care? We will help if you can understand this. | 03:44 |
| === jzheng is now known as Guest37096 | ||
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, backports are not on by default nor are restricted. universe .. of course | 03:45 |
| WACOMalt | whos fault is the fact that no one can tell me what comes enabled by default? | 03:45 |
| operative | It has not. I did a fresh install of the newest and it did not change. It is fine on this pc but, not on the new one | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, let's not get all offtrack --- chillax and wait for an answer | 03:45 |
| Beldar | WACOMalt, lo your are impossible to work with in a functional manner. | 03:45 |
| yggdrasil | i would say linus torvald | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | operative, did you run a live session? did ethernet work under live session? | 03:45 |
| Beldar | !ot | yggdrasil | 03:45 |
| ubottu | yggdrasil: #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! | 03:45 |
| yggdrasil | he asked the question :) | 03:46 |
| operative | cfhowlett, how do I do that? | 03:46 |
| WACOMalt | I'm chilled. I just dont get how I'm supposed to know what, on a normal install of ubuntu, would be included in the sources. Yes I can pick what I want, but will that be stock? no. Thanks all for helping I just feel like I'm missing something or you guys dont understand what I'm asking. | 03:46 |
| zacwalls | http://imgur.com/N16TPj5 | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | operative, boot ubuntu from your USB and test the ethernet. if it works there, it's *merely* a matter of configuring | 03:46 |
| zacwalls | what dose that mean? | 03:46 |
| yggdrasil | WACOMalt: why dont you just install the server. its minimal. | 03:46 |
| operative | ok. Thanks, I will go try that. | 03:47 |
| WACOMalt | Well, that's what I'm in | 03:47 |
| WACOMalt | is there a preset on this page for "select packages that would come enabled by default in ubuntu server" ? | 03:47 |
| WACOMalt | s/packages/repos | 03:47 |
| yggdrasil | jsut do dpkg --list | 03:48 |
| yggdrasil | or something | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, for more informed advice, ask the #ubuntu-server channel | 03:48 |
| yggdrasil | there is a dpkg to show install packages. | 03:48 |
| WACOMalt | sorry, I meant repos, not packages | 03:48 |
| === sjdfjsdfhjkhajsd is now known as gr33n7007h | ||
| WACOMalt | I'll... stop bugging you guys. sorry for being lost. I'll check #ubuntu-server | 03:49 |
| yggdrasil | daftykins: still not showing .. after having created it with pendrive... and booting with alt. | 03:49 |
| daftykins | yggdrasil: after inserting during power off? every single USB port? | 03:49 |
| yggdrasil | let me try other ports | 03:50 |
| yggdrasil | its only got 2 | 03:50 |
| yggdrasil | yes sir, only show the internal hdd | 03:51 |
| ObrienDave | zacwalls, it means you've used wubi to run Ubuntu under Windows. oh the shame | 03:51 |
| zacwalls | what how i dont understand | 03:52 |
| cal3spain_ | not good | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, wubi? really? bad zacwalls. BAD! | 03:52 |
| alfonsojon | Hi. | 03:52 |
| alfonsojon | QT apps look ugly (unthemed), is there a package I need to install to fix it? | 03:52 |
| cal3spain_ | hello alfonsojon | 03:53 |
| zacwalls | i need help | 03:53 |
| zacwalls | i have been asking | 03:53 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: What is your problem? | 03:53 |
| zacwalls | for hrs | 03:53 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, if you're trying to install 14.04 using the "windows" installer, you're going to have a bad time. AND it's no longer supported. So. WHEN it breaks, it's broke. No amount of ranting, crying, or cursing will help you. Reinstall WITHOUT wubi. | 03:53 |
| zacwalls | how | 03:53 |
| alfonsojon | What on earth did I miss | 03:53 |
| alfonsojon | ._. | 03:53 |
| cal3spain_ | he needs a reinstall and wipe windows. lol. then run virtual machines if windows is needed. | 03:54 |
| Thyrth | hello | 03:54 |
| WACOMalt | well, thank you ObrienDave, and Beldar. I did wind up figureing out which sources were originally included in my sources.list since mine wasnt completely ruined to begin with. So thank you. I appologize for my confusion. | 03:54 |
| zacwalls | i dont have windows | 03:54 |
| alfonsojon | QT apps look ugly (unthemed), is there a package I need to install to fix it? | 03:54 |

| ObrienDave | zacwalls, then how did you get wubi.exe on your system? | 03:54 |
| zacwalls | wine | 03:55 |

| WACOMalt | I installed virtualbox, then installed ubuntu in it. installed another VM inside of ubuntu to run windows in, so I could put wubi on it, boot ubuntu from it and run my windows apps through wine on that ubuntu. :| | 03:57 |
| yggdrasil | daftykins: on top of that i have no desire to run mac osx. | 03:57 |
| capable | yggdrasil: sure you can't replace the drive? | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, wubi is a dead project. DEAD. | 03:58 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Alright, I'll try to help you out. Can you explain your problem in an easy summary? | 03:58 |
| zacwalls | probaly not | 03:58 |
| yggdrasil | i know that a reinstall will detect the bad blocks. | 03:58 |
| WACOMalt | I know. it was a joke epitomizing the absurdity of this situation :) | 03:58 |
| zacwalls | but i try | 03:58 |
| alfonsojon | I saw the screenshot from above and you appear to be using Ubuntu 12.04, with a broken install | 03:58 |
| alfonsojon | Your sources.list is corrupted as well | 03:58 |
| daftykins | yggdrasil: so the disk has bad sectors? | 03:58 |
| alfonsojon | or removed | 03:58 |
| zacwalls | i use the ubuntu desktop | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, and that's why I suggested you get off IRC and type it up. | 03:58 |
| yggdrasil | brb gonna find my firewire card. | 03:58 |
| cal3spain_ | lol WACOMalt | 03:58 |

| ObrienDave | WACOMalt, +1 | 03:58 |
| WACOMalt | goodnight gentlemen/ladies I appreciate the guidance. | 03:59 |
| zacwalls | i installed it from ubuntu.com | 03:59 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Did you burn it to a DVD or write it to a flash drive to install? | 03:59 |
| zacwalls | flash | 03:59 |
| * cfhowlett suspects trolling ... observes carefully | 03:59 | |
| alfonsojon | Alright, using what software? | 03:59 |
| zacwalls | startup disk creator | 04:00 |
| ObrienDave | cfhowlett, we've been watching carefully also | 04:00 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Alright. | 04:00 |
| zacwalls | i am not a troll | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, ty | 04:00 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: and what is your current problem? sources.list busted? | 04:00 |
| zacwalls | it is set at freegeek.com because thats where i got it. | 04:01 |
| zacwalls | the pc | 04:01 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Alright, and what country do you live in? | 04:01 |
| zacwalls | us | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, "it" is a freegeek.com? WHAT is at freegeek.com? | 04:02 |
| Beldar | the ignore is for trolls here | 04:02 |
| thyrth | I'm lookin for good sources for apps | 04:02 |
| alfonsojon | Alright, zacwalls, can you open a terminal? | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | thyrth, ubuntu software center | 04:02 |
| Beldar | and mindless fools | 04:02 |
| capable | thyrth: hrmm? | 04:02 |
| zacwalls | it is freegeek.org my bad | 04:02 |
| zacwalls | yes i can | 04:02 |
| zacwalls | term is open | 04:03 |
| capable | Beldar: speaking of trolls | 04:03 |
| alfonsojon | Open a terminal, and type "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 04:03 |
| thyrth | but is the ubuntu software updated ? | 04:03 |
| alfonsojon | It will ask for your password. | 04:03 |
| cfhowlett | thyrth, yes | 04:03 |
| alfonsojon | Let me know when that is open | 04:03 |
| tac_ | Why might this happen: I sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev | 04:03 |
| tac_ | but when I use pkg-config, I see the version installed is 4.0.4 | 04:03 |
| zacwalls | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7966936/ | 04:04 |
| Beldar | tac_, You get what is in the repos, can you be clear in this? | 04:04 |
| cfhowlett | tac_, because that's the version in the repo. Want something else? compile it from source. | 04:05 |
| zacwalls | it is open | 04:05 |
| tac_ | that seems like the package is broken | 04:05 |
| Beldar | capable, I have helped 1000's here and on the ubuntu forums you are a new user, you have no clue. | 04:05 |
| alfonsojon | Alright, paste the contents from here in there | 04:06 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: http://hastebin.com/efazarurup.coffee | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | tac_, ??? no that's the package currently in the repo. | 04:06 |
| zacwalls | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7966936/ | 04:06 |

| alfonsojon | I was becoming mad because there was some sort of accusation of using WUBI, then he got flamed, and it just went downhill from there | 04:47 |
| latemus | yeah. i'm on karmic because it's the last version to include a certain program i need in its repo. | 04:47 |
| alfonsojon | So, I decided I should chime in and actually provide some legitimate help | 04:47 |
| capable | alfonsojon: wubi is DEAD! | 04:47 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: the repos aren't up | 04:47 |
| capable | =P | 04:47 |
| zacwalls | now what? | 04:47 |
| alfonsojon | capable: wubi should have never existed | 04:47 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Any other problems? | 04:47 |
| capable | latemus: which program? | 04:47 |
| zacwalls | idk | 04:47 |
| latemus | alfonsojon: ahh. you.ve begun to help | 04:47 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Then you should be good to go | 04:48 |
| capable | I don't have a problem with w32-loader though | 04:48 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: ? | 04:48 |
| zacwalls | i still dont know what to do really? | 04:48 |
| alfonsojon | What do you mean? | 04:48 |
| daftykins | alfonsojon: the user did not help their situation | 04:48 |
| zacwalls | do i use ubuntu file? | 04:48 |
| alfonsojon | pardon? | 04:48 |
| capable | zacwalls: what're you trying to do? | 04:49 |
| zacwalls | get ubuntu 14.04 | 04:49 |
| latemus | alfonsojon: insight | 04:49 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: ah | 04:49 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: pardon? | 04:49 |
| latemus | hmm, are the repos archived anywhere? | 04:49 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade|latemus | 04:49 |
| ubottu | latemus: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 04:49 |
| latemus | insight is the program i need from the karmic repo | 04:50 |
| OerHeks | latemus, | 04:50 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: You should be able to open the update manager from Unity now, and it should say "A new release is available (Ubuntu 14.04)" | 04:50 |
| OerHeks | err | 04:50 |
| zacwalls | okay | 04:50 |
| capable | latemus: what's the website? | 04:50 |
| latemus | err, i that was actually a response to cap | 04:50 |
| capable | the name is so terrible I'd never find it without a link =P | 04:50 |
| latemus | sorry alfonsojon | 04:50 |
| zacwalls | thanks goodbye | 04:50 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: Ah. | 04:50 |
| latemus | capable: lol | 04:50 |
| alfonsojon | zacwalls: Good luck :0 | 04:51 |
| alfonsojon | Well that took longer than expected | 04:51 |
| alfonsojon | xD | 04:51 |
| ObrienDave | !cookie | alfonsojon | 04:51 |
| ubottu | alfonsojon: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 04:51 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: It appears that "insight" is in the universe repo | 04:51 |
| alfonsojon | You should be able to enable the "universe" repo through software-properties and then install it | 04:52 |
| alfonsojon | then, theoretically, you shouldn't need Ubuntu 9.10 | 04:52 |
| latemus | capable: well, you see it's no longer maintained, and the latest release is full of bugs and un-usable, wont compile from source, and thats why it was pulled from ubuntu after 9.10 | 04:52 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: Ah. | 04:52 |
| cal3spain_ | excellent job, alfonsojon | 04:52 |
| alfonsojon | cal3spain_: ? | 04:52 |

| alfonsojon | Oh, thanks ObrienDave | 04:52 |
| alfonsojon | I didn't see the cookie | 04:53 |
| latemus | alfonsojon: is the universe repo specific to version, aka karmic? | 04:53 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: I'll go crawling the internet. | 04:53 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/insight/6.7.1.dfsg.1-7 | 04:53 |
| capable | that, the debugger? | 04:53 |
| alfonsojon | is that the "insight" you're talking about? | 04:54 |
| latemus | capable: http://sourceware.org/insight/ | 04:54 |
| latemus | cert has expired, be warned | 04:54 |
| alfonsojon | yep, that's the insight | 04:54 |
| capable | so many bad names | 04:54 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: see link I posted above | 04:54 |
| capable | I bet there's a deb of it | 04:54 |
| capable | still in Gentoo repos | 04:54 |
| capable | so it must build | 04:55 |
| OerHeks | good luck building with an EOL ubuntu | 04:55 |
| capable | no, he's using old Ubuntu because he doesn't build | 04:55 |
| latemus | the latest wont build on slackware or anything else ive tried | 04:56 |
| capable | well, slackware hardly has a package manager =) | 04:56 |
| capable | latemus: 6.8.1? | 04:57 |
| latemus | i see the link, thanks ill try univers | 04:57 |
| latemus | yeah | 04:57 |
| latemus | -a i think | 04:57 |
| latemus | 6.8.1-a | 04:57 |
| capable | a? | 04:57 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: I suggest installing on a fresh version of Ubuntu | 04:57 |
| alfonsojon | It may work. | 04:57 |
| latemus | as well as 6.8.1 and a few versions before that | 04:57 |
| alfonsojon | Try 12.04, since it's older but still supported | 04:57 |
| capable | it looks like it has frugal requirements | 04:58 |
| alfonsojon | in that case, it should work fine | 04:58 |
| latemus | the problem is that it has to use its own bundled version of gdb. and like, all distros already have a current version of gdb installed. so these conflict | 04:59 |
| latemus | http://www.duntemann.com/assembly.html and serach for Insight Is Now Missing from Ubuntu | 04:59 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: I see. | 04:59 |
| capable | well we already know it's missing | 05:00 |
| OerHeks | so you need a debugger on an EOL ubuntu. makes no sence at all. | 05:00 |
| latemus | capable: i mean read the paragraph under that heading =) | 05:00 |
| capable | OerHeks: he just wants the debugger | 05:01 |
| latemus | OerHeks: i need insight on any distro it will actually build or install on. 9.10 is rumored to be one that it will work on | 05:01 |
| capable | anyways, this guy is clearly just an end user | 05:02 |
| capable | I'm sure you can build it on 14 or any version | 05:02 |
| latemus | capable: what do you mean im an just an end user | 05:02 |
| latemus | you mean like i dont want to build from source | 05:02 |
| capable | latemus: this guy whose blog you linked to | 05:03 |
| capable | his options ignore that you can just compile it | 05:03 |
| capable | 'cause he probably doesn't ever do that | 05:03 |
| latemus | oh. no he mentions on that site that it wont compile | 05:03 |
| capable | yeah, but it will | 05:04 |
| capable | it's one thing to say 'hey, compile' | 05:04 |
| latemus | capable: lol, its a book on assembly language... pretty sure he does that | 05:04 |
| capable | and another to trivially modify code so it actually does compile | 05:04 |
| * capable shrugs | 05:04 | |
| alfonsojon | capable: that's a bit off topic | 05:04 |
| capable | alfonsojon: what, compiling? | 05:05 |
| alfonsojon | capable: No, talking about the guy's blog. | 05:06 |
| latemus | how long does the repo for a given version stay online | 05:06 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: Until it's dropped | 05:06 |
| capable | well latemus was taking it as the only word | 05:06 |
| * capable shrugs | 05:06 | |
| cfhowlett | latemus, during it's support lifetime. after that - expect it to be gone | 05:06 |
| alfonsojon | For example, the desktop repos for 10.04 are dropped | 05:06 |
| alfonsojon | Whereas the server repos are still up | 05:07 |
| latemus | i see | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | alfonsojon, because SERVER has a 5 year support life | 05:07 |
| alfonsojon | cfhowlett: I know. | 05:07 |
| alfonsojon | That's why I mentioned it, it's a good demonstration of the end-of-life repo discontinuation | 05:07 |
| latemus | can i tell 9.10 to use the currently online universe repo? | 05:08 |
| friendlyfascism | no | 05:08 |
| capable | latemus: you using this 9.10 as your main OS? | 05:08 |
| latemus | no | 05:08 |
| capable | latemus: what do you use for main? | 05:08 |
| latemus | only to get insight running asap | 05:08 |
| svetlana | No. He is trying to upgrade a 9.10 OS. | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | latemus, nope. sorry | 05:08 |
| friendlyfascism | you can but it will be no a good idea | 05:08 |
| friendlyfascism | not* | 05:08 |
| latemus | main os is slackware | 05:08 |
| capable | latemus: you can just install it on slackware | 05:08 |
| latemus | i dont know much about ubuntu | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | latemus, can your app NOT be compiled? | 05:09 |
| capable | I promise, it can be done | 05:09 |
| * latemus facepalms | 05:09 | |
| capable | yes, it can be compiled | 05:09 |
| alfonsojon | Okay, allow me to explain for latemus | 05:09 |
| alfonsojon | He wants to use gdb, but it needs a specific version of a piece of software, which Ubuntu 9.10 has. | 05:09 |
| OerHeks | old 2009 insight :-) | 05:09 |
| alfonsojon | If he uses a more modern distro, it will not have the compatible version of said dependency. | 05:09 |
| capable | as a bin =) | 05:10 |
| capable | although since you can compile it, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a 3rd party bin out there | 05:10 |
| latemus | capable: (friendly tone of voice) why are you saying it can be compiled on slackeware? i have tried to compile like the six most recent versions on slackware and i am getting gcc errors telling me there are problems with the c++ it's written in | 05:10 |
| capable | but he may as well look for a tgz | 05:10 |
| capable | if he prefers slack | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | suggestion: install a supported *buntu - 14.04. install virtual box. install xubuntu 9.10 to virtualbox. install the app to virtual xubuntu. glitter | 05:11 |
| latemus | alfonsojon: thanks for explaining on my behalf btw +) | 05:11 |
| capable | latemus: because I already know it can be compiled on an up to date system | 05:11 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: No problem. | 05:11 |
| alfonsojon | capable: have you compiled it? | 05:11 |
| capable | I don't have to, it's marked as stable for Gentoo | 05:11 |
| capable | means it compiles | 05:11 |
| alfonsojon | capable: Meaning it compiles with any Gentoo-specific patches they have. | 05:12 |
| capable | alfonsojon: which are about 4 lines | 05:12 |
| alfonsojon | capable: You don't need to be rude. | 05:12 |
| capable | and they look to be about Gentoo quirks, not huge changes | 05:12 |
| capable | alfonsojon: text isn't rude, it's just text | 05:12 |
| alfonsojon | capable: You shouldn't go "oh it compiles, oh it compiles" when he's clearly explaining it does *not* compile | 05:12 |
| capable | you're right, much better he uses 9.10 forever | 05:13 |
| alfonsojon | In his situation, it does not compile, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how to get it to compile, or else he wouldn't be here. | 05:13 |
| capable | yes, obviously | 05:13 |
| alfonsojon | In that case, maybe we should try to help him get it to compile rather than telling him "oh it compiles" ? | 05:13 |
| capable | but given enough, it will compile | 05:13 |
| capable | alfonsojon: uh... | 05:13 |
| capable | and what was I doing? | 05:13 |
| capable | everyone else was talking about VMs, and I was saying compile | 05:13 |
| * capable shakes head | 05:13 | |
| latemus | capable: you say the gentoo patches are only for gentoo-related quirks? | 05:14 |
| latemus | ill go see what version gentoo is able to compile | 05:14 |
| capable | latemus: it's like 10-20 lines of configure file changes | 05:15 |
| capable | it's nothing | 05:15 |
| capable | it's probably just to fit Gentoo's filesystem structure | 05:15 |
| daftykins | be best to take it to PM/#ubuntu-offtopic if you're gonna go off distro guys | 05:16 |
| latemus | isnt gentoo a rolling release like arch | 05:16 |
| latemus | daftykins: okay | 05:16 |
| capable | latemus: no, arch is a rolling release like gentoo =P | 05:16 |
| latemus | capable: alfonsojon, thanks guys (and everyone else) | 05:17 |
| latemus | lol | 05:17 |
| alfonsojon | latemus: No problem | 05:17 |
| latemus | btw, this communities 'scuffles' are like newlyweds compared to ##slackware lol | 05:17 |
| capable | http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-util/insight/files/ but there're so few changes I don't know if they'll really be of use | 05:18 |
| alfonsojon_ | lol | 05:18 |
| latemus | capable: im interested to see what version of gdb they are using with insight, and if their patches replace the old bundled gdb | 05:18 |
| capable | latemus: I don't think it does replace it, you can read the ebuild | 05:19 |
| latemus | cool. maybe i'll just use gentoo. but i'd rather see what they do and get ti to work on slackware after all. at any rate, i thank you : ) | 05:23 |
| capable | just learn how to compile it on the distro you already prefer =P | 05:24 |

| zacwalls | alfonsojon | 05:32 |
| zacwalls | im having trouble doing a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 | 05:33 |
| EsoRotica | Hello there, I'm looking for an alternative to Gparted so that I can make some allocated space contiguous on my drive. I'm looking for an alternative due to a phantom floppy issue in the LiveCD that I do not see an option for in bios. | 05:34 |
| EsoRotica | unallocated* | 05:34 |
| zacwalls | i tried to boot on a flashdrive and boot through boot menu and it had a boot error | 05:35 |
| EsoRotica | zacwalls: How did you create the bootable usb? | 05:35 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, good practice to get help: don't breadcrumb the details. STATE the darn error message! | 05:35 |
| zacwalls | disk creator | 05:35 |
| EsoRotica | This is from an existing ubuntu machine? | 05:36 |
| zacwalls | xubuntu runing ubuntu desktop, yes | 05:36 |
| EsoRotica | You were able to see the grub menu? | 05:36 |
| zacwalls | i didnt use grub menu | 05:37 |
| latemus | woot. the gentoo ebuild handles the conflicting versions of gdb by stuffing the whole thing into /opt | 05:38 |
| zacwalls | me? | 05:38 |
| latemus | @capable | 05:38 |
| cfhowlett | !who | 05:38 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 05:38 |

| ubottu | It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ | 05:39 |
| zacwalls | !wtf | 05:39 |
| ubottu | The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 05:39 |
| zacwalls | lol thats a new trick | 05:40 |
| latemus | lol | 05:40 |
| zacwalls | EsoRotica any suggestions? | 05:41 |
| zacwalls | !are you on drugs? | 05:41 |
| ubottu | zacwalls: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:41 |
| EsoRotica | zacwalls: Not quite sure where you are stuck. When you boot to the device, what does the error say? | 05:41 |
| OerHeks | zacwalls, without the booterror nobody can answer | 05:41 |
| zacwalls | boot error | 05:41 |
| zacwalls | thats what it said | 05:42 |
| zacwalls | how bout now? | 05:42 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | zacwalls, 1. did you verify the ISO? 2. did you verify the USB? | 05:42 |
| ubottu | zacwalls, 1. did you verify the ISO? 2. did you verify the USB?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:42 |
| zacwalls | iso is ubuntu 14.04.1 | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, NOT what I asked you. DID YOU VERIFY? | 05:43 |
| zacwalls | idk im a noob | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, read the md5sum link above. | 05:43 |
| zacwalls | no thank you | 05:43 |
| EsoRotica | okay then... | 05:44 |
| eeee | zacwalls: just type md5sum <isoyoudownloadedhere> , it's been 4 hours of people telling you to md5sum | 05:45 |
| zacwalls | so i tryed to boot iso and yeah... how can i do that through...not rebooting my pc again? | 05:45 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, it's basic trouble shooting for the kind of error you described. if you're too - whatever - to spend the 3 mintues it takes to ensure you've got good sources ... no help for you | 05:45 |
| zacwalls | md5sum http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?country=US&version=14.04.1&architecture=amd64 | 05:46 |
| zacwalls | like that? | 05:46 |
| * eeee shoots himself | 05:47 | |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, don't be lazy or silly. read the link. do what it says. | 05:47 |
| * EsoRotica rolls. | 05:47 | |
| zacwalls | what | 05:47 |
| helmut_ | hi | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | zacwalls, | 05:47 |

| EsoRotica | So I'm going to try this one more time: I'm having trouble with GParted hanging when scanning devices. I think its related to the floppy that appears in the dock. I do not see an option in my bios to disable floppy. running from CL (sudo gparted /dev/drive) give me the same result. Any ideas? | 05:50 |
| zacwalls | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7967541/ | 05:51 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, seriously? 11.10 ? No longer supported. | 05:51 |
| ObrienDave | EsoRotica, how long does gparted hang? | 05:51 |
| rww | zacwalls: Given your history, I suggest you draw this silliness to a swift close. | 05:51 |
| zacwalls | --__-- | 05:51 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: Greater than 15 minutes | 05:51 |
| zacwalls | i just want to install ubuntu | 05:52 |
| cfhowlett | zacwalls, no you just want to troll. done and done. /ignore on | 05:52 |
| ObrienDave | zacwalls, but you're NOT listening to people helping you. done with you | 05:52 |
| zacwalls | you are horrible at reading someone intentions | 05:52 |
| rww | zacwalls: as are you | 05:53 |
| cfhowlett | rww, ty | 05:53 |
| priuon | hello. I like seeing the bootmessages so I put "text" to /etc/default/grub. This leads to problems with xfce though> pulseaudio not available, nm-applet only partily functional (gksu-ing it), settingsmanager not showing all dialog buttons. Can this be fixed? | 05:56 |
| alfonsojon_ | zacwalls: What is your issue? | 05:56 |
| ObrienDave | so, EsoRotica, can you unmount the floppy from the system? | 05:56 |
| EsoRotica | ahh, derp. | 05:56 |
| ObrienDave | *short break* | 05:57 |
| alfonsojon_ | Oh, he got banned | 05:57 |
| alfonsojon_ | Unfortunate. | 05:58 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: I do not see it in either mtab or fstab. running umount /dev/fd0 returns: not mounted. | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, should not effect it that way - verify: disable the "text" option and check your settings | 05:59 |
| phasip | Where does ubuntu 13.10 -> 14.04 store downloaded update packages? | 06:01 |
| daftykins | /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 06:01 |
| phasip | and if I place packages there it will use them and not re-download (if they are the right version ofc) | 06:02 |
| priuon | cfhowlett, i will try | 06:02 |
| Blaster | Any way to prevent Ubuntu from handling my iPhone when I plug it in? I want to do a passthru to VirtualBox so I can connect it to iTunes in Windows. | 06:02 |
| Blaster | It's USB by the way. | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, please report outcome. also on xubunt ... | 06:02 |
| ObrienDave | EsoRotica, what leads you to the conclusion that the floppy hangs gparted? | 06:02 |
| tac_ | Is there a way in Unity to increase the font size of all applications? | 06:03 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: Strictly speculation. I see the flopp icon in the dock, Ther eisnt one installed. This seems to be commonplace amonst the problem i'm seeing. | 06:03 |
| samwisegamgee | What is the other way of downloading and installing new applications using Xubuntu, besides the ubuntu Software Centre? | 06:03 |
| EsoRotica | similar problems | 06:03 |
| hateball | !apt | samwisegamgee | 06:04 |
| ubottu | samwisegamgee: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 06:04 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, synaptic package manager | 06:04 |
| samwisegamgee | yeah, thanks, ObrienDave | 06:05 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, sudo apt-get install synaptic | 06:05 |
| samwisegamgee | I think I already have another package manager installed already | 06:05 |
| priuon | cfhowlett: booting "splash" didn't boot to the login screen. does it have to be "quiet splash"? | 06:05 |
| guoke | 有人没有呀 | 06:05 |
| ObrienDave | !cn | guoke | 06:06 |
| ubottu | guoke: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 06:06 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, ? just reverse the "text" option that you did ... splash IIRC | 06:06 |
| ObrienDave | EsoRotica, not sure how but you need to get rid of the floppy. any external USB drives attached? | 06:07 |
| samwisegamgee | Can't I just install Synaptic Package Manager using the Ubuntu Software Centre? | 06:07 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 06:07 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: yes, I'm booting from oen. | 06:07 |
| ObrienDave | EsoRotica, k | 06:07 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: I'm booting the LiveCD from USB* | 06:07 |
| ObrienDave | k | 06:07 |
| priuon | cfhowlett, is it possible to revert such changes without a user created backup? (I have one but would be appreciated in general) | 06:09 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, sure. reboot, hit grub and make the change. it won't be permanent ... | 06:10 |
| samwisegamgee | Is the Synaptic Package Manager better than the Muon Package Manager for Xubuntu? | 06:10 |
| priuon | cfhowlett, I also get a plymouthd error when booting with splash. | 06:11 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, "better" is subjective | 06:11 |
| samwisegamgee | Can I install both the Muon and the Synaptic Package Manager on the same computer? | 06:11 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, if the only thing you changed was the verbose/text option and you're getting such errors .. there's more going on than you've told us. | 06:12 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, yes, although you probably can't run both at the same time | 06:12 |
| farbod | hi | 06:12 |
| priuon | fhowlett "quiet splash" loaded the login screen now and pulse audio is working with it, so does the setting manager, the nm-applet is disabled. I'll try it again with it enabld. | 06:13 |
| farbod | how can i install ubuntu tuch on my xperia ion? | 06:13 |
| EsoRotica | ObrienDave: further inspection shows some errors in dmesg when attempting to run gparted: Buffer I/O error on fd0, logical block 0\ end_request sector 0 | 06:13 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, wow! OK. don't understand why but ... OK | 06:13 |
| ObrienDave | EsoRotica, far beyond my knowledge | 06:13 |
| EsoRotica | Thanks ObrienDave. | 06:14 |
| phasip | where are the deb files locatet on a ubuntu install usb ? | 06:14 |
| cfhowlett | phasip, .deb are all through the image | 06:14 |
| tac_ | Does /etc/apt/sources.list get cached? apt-get update is complaning that I have duplicate entries when I don't have any duplicates in that file. | 06:14 |
| phasip | chaitanya: Sorry, I don't undestand =/ | 06:15 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest70583 | ||
| cfhowlett | tac_, easily fixed sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list comment out with ## or delete the duplicates | 06:15 |
| ObrienDave | tac_, you also need to look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 06:16 |
| eeee | phasip: /var /var/cache/apt/archives | 06:16 |
| EsoRotica | tac_: I've faced a similar error check the .d | 06:16 |
| priuon | cfhowlett: is it possible to have all bootmessages disabled and boot to the loginscreen? or maybe call the loginscreen from tty? | 06:16 |
| tac_ | ObrienDave: that's likely it | 06:16 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, by default, boot messages ARE disabled ... not sure what you're asking here. clarification? | 06:17 |
| priuon | cfhowlett: I would like to boot into the x/xfce loginscreen but have all bootmessages shown as it does with booting to text | 06:19 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, clear! I don't know how though. ask #xfce channel or send a msg to https://forum.xfce.org/ | 06:20 |
| alfonsojon_ | rww: Is the ban on zacwalls temporary? | 06:20 |
| malimbar | Doesn't ubuntu do this if you press a key while booting? I thoguht it did that whey you press escape or something | 06:20 |
| cfhowlett | malimbar, "this"???? | 06:21 |
| eeee | priuon: are you talking about the splash screen? bla bla bla [OK] bla bla bla [OK] ? | 06:21 |
| alfonsojon_ | I understand he was being rude and ignorant, but a permanent ban because of that seems a bit silly | 06:21 |
| priuon | eeee: zeah | 06:21 |
| cfhowlett | alfonsojon_, disagree. he's was wasting valuable time and trolling hard | 06:21 |
| priuon | eeee: yeah | 06:21 |
| Oog | when can i see when a new version of nginx will be put in the package manager? there was a security problem fixed this morning | 06:21 |
| malimbar | cfhowlett, sorry, I was refering to priuon and the boot messages | 06:21 |
| Oog | i need nginx 1.6.1 | 06:21 |
| priuon | malimbar, it does | 06:21 |
| cfhowlett | malimbar, got it. | 06:22 |
| priuon | malimbar, either escape or uparrow | 06:22 |
| alfonsojon_ | cfhowlett: a permban still seems a bit unnecessary | 06:22 |
| priuon | malimbar, i dont want to be waiting to push a button everytime i boot though | 06:22 |
| cfhowlett | alfonsojon_, anyone who refuses to follow the easily understood and reasonable !guideline can probably seek aid ... elsewhere | 06:23 |
| cfhowlett | Oog, 1.6.1 is not in the repos yet. compile it from source or wait for it to be added | 06:23 |
| alfonsojon_ | As I said, a tempban is much more appropriate. | 06:23 |
| Oog | cfhowlett: what's timeline on getting in repos usually | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | Oog, "when it's ready" hard to say as it depends on the upstream to large extent | 06:24 |
| ObrienDave | Oog, when it passes security and quality checks, usually | 06:24 |
| priuon | !guideline | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | !guidelines | 06:25 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 06:25 |
| priuon | !guidelines | 06:25 |

| samwisegamgee | ubuntu or xubuntu-restricted, there is no such thing as far as Synaptic Package Manager is concerned | 06:29 |
| malimbar | priuon, with your booting, you don't want a splash screen at all before the login screen, right? | 06:29 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:29 |
| priuon | cfhowlett: is there any hope to fix the issues with booting to text and using startx? | 06:29 |
| malimbar | priuon, sorry, I was googling, so I don't know if your question was answered already | 06:29 |
| samwisegamgee | Synaptic Package Manager installer only mentions Debian restrictions, if that's what you call them, and I have no idea if Xubuntu is a Debian OS | 06:30 |
| mhabibiz | @ObrienDave I couldn't undrestand what do you say | 06:30 |
| priuon | malimbar: right | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, best to ask the experts on the xfce forums or #xfce | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee software sources > enable the "restricted" repos | 06:30 |
| EsoRotica | Okay, I've done enough fiddling to get GParted working... No luck. Any suggestions on an alternative (goal is to make unallocated space contiguous by moving an extended partition left) | 06:30 |
| malimbar | priuon, it looks like you need to adjust grub | 06:30 |
| malimbar | priuon, remove "quiet splash", and then update grub | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, xubuntu is DERIVED from debian but is not a debian OS | 06:31 |
| priuon | malimbar: ill give it a shot | 06:31 |
| samwisegamgee | I am installing Synaptic Package Manager using Ubuntu Software Centre, so I must choose the optional add ons not from the terminal, but from the Software Centre, cfhowlett | 06:32 |
| mhabibiz | How can I install python2 library in ubuntu? My default version of python is python3.4 | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, OK then | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, enable the restricted repos and then look for restricted extras | 06:32 |
| malimbar | priuon, now I'm curious, think I might try it out myself | 06:33 |
| samwisegamgee | cfhowlett, are you saying I should download Synaptic Package Manager from the Ubuntu Software Centre with no optional extras, and then go to the terminal to install the xubuntu restricted extras? | 06:33 |
| priuon | malimbar, noplymouth and nosplash are available options too (just found out) | 06:33 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, install both from terminal. i gave you the command | 06:34 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, first enable the restricted extras repo. then install xubuntu-restricted-extras. use your preferred installion method | 06:34 |
| samwisegamgee | Why do they call them restricted? | 06:35 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, legalities for the most part | 06:35 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, they are not covered by the same license as the rest of the "free" software | 06:36 |
| ObrienDave | mhabibiz, all i can find is python2.7 in the repos | 06:39 |
| samwisegamgee | cfhowlett, ok, so, I need to enable the xubuntu restricted extras on my terminal, then install Synaptic Package Manager from the Ubuntu Software Centre, right? | 06:39 |
| priuon | malimbar, no option did the trick. | 06:40 |
| malimbar | priuon, nice | 06:40 |
| === friendlyfascism is now known as Beldar | ||
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, no you enable the restricted repo first, install synaptic and restricted-extras from terminal | 06:41 |
| ObrienDave | wb Beldar ;P | 06:41 |
| Beldar | heh thanks | 06:41 |
| Beldar | just here to troll capably | 06:42 |
| mhabibiz | @ObrienDave Can you tell me more information. I tried a lot but can't install pip2. when I try to install a package with pip2, I get some errors.. | 06:42 |
| samwisegamgee | cfhowlett: May be that gives me more choice for the optional extras when I install Synaptic Package Mangaer from the ubuntu software cetnre, but I still don't know which extras to choose | 06:42 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee system > software updater > ubuntu software > Software restricted by copyright THEN install the xubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:42 |
| priuon | is it possible to shutdown linux from shell? | 06:42 |
| eeee | priuon: sudo shutdown -h now | 06:42 |
| cfhowlett | priuon, of course. sudo shutdown or sudo init 15 iirc | 06:42 |
| SnowCrash | Evening all, I've installed Ubuntu and am using Cinnamon with it and rather like it except one annoyance; themes and window controls I select all have menus with black backgrounds making text hard to read. Here's what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/WBcBTxb.jpg | 06:42 |
| ObrienDave | mhabibiz, i know nothing about pip2. sorry | 06:42 |
| SnowCrash | I've not seen this using Cinnamon on Fedora or Mint, any thoughts about something Ubuntu specific maybe? | 06:43 |
| Abhijit | clobbered | 06:43 |
| mhabibiz | @ObrienDave np | 06:43 |
| Abhijit | wrong paste | 06:43 |
| samwisegamgee | How is that better than just installing it from the Ubuntu Software Centre? | 06:43 |
| Abhijit | priuon, or just poweroff | 06:43 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, That is a ppa and you would contact the maintainer. | 06:44 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, as i said earlier - use your preferred install method. | 06:44 |
| SnowCrash | Beldar: Okay I can reach out to them but maybe I shouldn't use a PPA? Is there is "best way" to install Cinnamon in Ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| samwisegamgee | I don't really care how I install Synaptic Package Manager, what I do care about is knowing which optional extras are useful for Xubuntu | 06:45 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, Used to be in the repos, but was not included in 14.04 is all, the ppa is the only way at this time. | 06:45 |
| SnowCrash | Alright I'll consult them, maybe they have some suggestion or maybe I should just find another PPA. Thanks! | 06:46 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, mints other de is though I forget it's name | 06:46 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, asked and answered, what? 12 times now? | 06:46 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, I like the gnome shell but use a cairo dock and synapse so never really use most of the de. | 06:47 |
| samwisegamgee | You gave me a lot of answers about how to install it, but nothing about which optional extras I need | 06:47 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, we told you a quick and simple way of installing what you asked for. | 06:47 |
| samwisegamgee | Installing it is easy, choosing the extras is hard | 06:48 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, there is NO choice. you either install xubuntu-restricted-extras or you don't. THAT is the choice. sheesh | 06:48 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, what sorts of extras are you talking about? | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, your machine. your choice. choose. | 06:48 |
| SnowCrash | Beldar: I'm pretty open minded. I've been using Cinnamon because its been the most usable out of the box but if I can find something that behaves similarly I'll try it. | 06:48 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| samwisegamgee | there are about a dozen extras to choose from when installing Synaptic Package Manager | 06:49 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, what sort of extras? | 06:49 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, the gnome shell is not that similar the gnome fallback is more like gnome 2 | 06:50 |
| SnowCrash | Beldar: so closer to something like MATE or am I off the mark? | 06:50 |
| samwisegamgee | I don't know anything about the extras, aside from the fact that some of them are Debian related | 06:50 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, I can think of like 3 or 4 completely different classes of "extras" you might be talking about | 06:50 |
| samwisegamgee | there are about a dozen extras to choose from | 06:51 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, LIST SOME sheesh | 06:51 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, Not really but mate is in the repos, that is the one I forgot. | 06:51 |
| samwisegamgee | when installing Synaptic Package Manager | 06:51 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, for 14.04 that is | 06:51 |
| malimbar | so I do "sudo apt-get install synaptic", and I don't see anything strange or optional | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, xubuntu is complete. you don't NEED extras. and you don't even know the extras you *might* want. install none. install all. they are free to try and/or delete. now let's move on. | 06:51 |
| samwisegamgee | I will install Muon Packiage Manager instead, it looks easier, it has no extras | 06:51 |
| SnowCrash | Beldar: Maybe I will try that too, I feel might work just fine as an alternative. Thanks for your advice. | 06:52 |
| Beldar | SnowCrash, np problem .;) | 06:52 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, I don't think even you konw wha tyou're talking about. If you could copy and paste a single "option" that you're tlaking about though, we might be able to help you | 06:52 |
| malimbar | and figure it out | 06:52 |
| === dk_ is now known as Guest48094 | ||
| samwisegamgee | I have already given up on Synaptic Package Manager, no need to waste your time any more, don't worry about it, I don't need it | 06:53 |
| Beldar | samwisegamgee, muon is third party that is not necessarily easier way less support. | 06:53 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, why do you want a different package manager from the default one anyways? | 06:54 |
| samwisegamgee | It's okay, thanks for trying to help, I have Ubuntu Softgware Centre, that works | 06:54 |
| samwisegamgee | Because I want a more up to date version of Libre Office | 06:54 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, download it from libreoffice. install. done. | 06:54 |
| malimbar | ah, well that's a different and easy problem, yo udon' tneed new package managers for that | 06:54 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, then why did you NOT ask that in the first place? | 06:54 |
| samwisegamgee | Ubuntu Software Centre offers a useless version of Libre Office with a bunch of extras that make no sense, and not really good reviews | 06:54 |
| malimbar | lmao | 06:54 |
| malimbar | oh, this make me happy | 06:55 |
| * cfhowlett facepalms the keyboard - repeatedly | 06:55 | |
| Beldar | samwisegamgee, I would learn what is supported than you have the skills to what is needed if you mess with outside the repos. | 06:55 |
| samwisegamgee | So, I will use Muon package manager to install a better version of Libre Office | 06:55 |
| OerHeks | useless, come on... | 06:55 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, muon uses the exact same repo list. you DO know that, right? | 06:55 |
| * cfhowlett pulls the eject button | 06:56 | |
| Beldar | making sense rarely works here in some cases. ;) | 06:56 |
| malimbar | samwisegamgee, different package managers won't help you at all. Do what cfhowlett said, adn just install it from the libreoffice website | 06:56 |
| samwisegamgee | Ok, then I'll just keep using AbiWord and not bother with Libre Office | 06:56 |
| ObrienDave | samwisegamgee, http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ have fun with that | 06:56 |
| samwisegamgee | AbiWord works ok. May be I don't need Libre Office | 06:57 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, great. we've moved on. | 06:57 |

| OssumPawesome | output incoming | 07:21 |
| dodobrain | i have it installed and need to restart it after editing the conf files. there is *no* init script thats installed in couchdb or couchdb-common or couchdb-bin packages! | 07:21 |

| alfonsojon_ | Nevermind then... weird | 07:21 |
| geirha | OssumPawesome: in the MOTD? | 07:21 |
| dodobrain | alfonsojon_, yeah, i don;t understand whats going on | 07:22 |
| alfonsojon_ | dodobrain: have you tried reinstalling? | 07:23 |
| dodobrain | why is there no init script installed.. also theres nothing of note in /etc/systemd either for couchdb | 07:23 |
| ObrienDave | OssumPawesome, would dist-upgrade work for server? | 07:23 |
| dodobrain | alfonsojon_, this is the official ubuntu package for couchdb | 07:23 |
| dodobrain | not sure what the restart is supposed to do | 07:23 |

| OssumPawesome | E: Command line option 'r' [from -reinstall] is not known. | 07:26 |
| dodobrain | alfonsojon_, yes, i understood what you meant. but what will that achieve that didn;t happen the first time i installed the package? | 07:26 |
| gdm85 | hi there! from time to time I have to run again 'setxkmap us' because my session "forgets" the setting. how is that possible? I simply lock the screen and not even logout when this happens | 07:26 |

| daftykins | alfonsojon_: LL kernels are designed for high availability tasks | 07:37 |
| metaspike | aethersis, there's a way to "wrap" alsa programs to jack, even though they dont support jack natively | 07:43 |
| aethersis | metaspike - how do I do that? | 07:44 |
| metaspike | aethersis, also worth noting that jack uses alsa as a backend by default. so your friend was over simplifying | 07:45 |
| aethersis | I don't have any good sound card however I use lowlatency kernel for virtual instruments and I'd like to have both audio drivers not interfering with each other | 07:45 |

| Beldar | !java | Xerrox | 07:48 |
| ubottu | Xerrox: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| aethersis | what error | 07:52 |
| Xerrox | i need it for PyCharm | 07:52 |

| mick_ | Beldar-don't know file type, how do I find out? It works on my other Ubuntu machine and on Windows partition | 08:05 |
| somsip | cyclob|work: this is outside the scope of this channel. You really need to be asking in #apache (or ##apache) | 08:05 |
| metaspike | cyclob|work, have you checked the apache access logs? | 08:05 |

| trijntje | aukun: what do you mean with change memory swap? | 08:34 |
| Beldar | pandaroot-gama, Might be better to back up and fresh install, depends per users. | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | aukun, | 08:35 |
| ubottu | aukun,: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:35 |
| bazhang | you want to resize the swap partition, aukun ? | 08:36 |
| aukun | yes | 08:37 |
| aukun | to 2 gb | 08:37 |
| aukun | because i have 4 gb of ram | 08:37 |
| bazhang | !gparted | aukun use this then | 08:38 |
| ubottu | aukun use this then: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 08:38 |

| trijntje | aukun: make a swapfile, its much easier and has no downsides | 08:39 |

| Beldar | aukun, You never hibernate? | 08:43 |

| cfhowlett | !alternate |refj, | 09:31 |
| ubottu | refj,: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD | 09:31 |
| Beldar | !mini | refj | 09:31 |
| ubottu | refj: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | refj, alternate (text based) is no more. install server or mini | 09:31 |
| refj | Beldar: Yes, but I need the actual name of the software that is the text-based installer. | 09:31 |
| Beldar | mini will do the server install | 09:32 |
| Beldar | refj, Not really it gives you meta options | 09:32 |
| refj | cfhowlett: Yes, I am installing ubuntu server, I am submitting a bug report and need the name for the text-based installer software/package | 09:32 |

| sgo11 | How can I create an ubuntu live usb? (without "Try Ubuntu" "Install Ubuntu" options). when I choose boot from usb, it just enters the OS. thanks. | 09:35 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, 14.04 ? | 09:35 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, yeah. the latest version. 14.04 or 14.04.1 :) | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, did you install it yet? | 09:36 |
| samwisegamgee | Is Canonical Partners source code really useful for my software updater, cfhowlett? | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, take an IRC break and go use the MANY resources already suggested please. | 09:36 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, it doesn't matter actually. I can install it and then create. I got many free PCs here. | 09:36 |
| samwisegamgee | ok | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, booting directly to OS suggests to me that you did NOT boot the ubuntu USB but the actually installed OS. verify your bios settings | 09:37 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, ... I think you misunderstood my question. My question was how to create a live ubuntu version in usb disk. | 09:38 |
| samwisegamgee | but now I know how to install Synaptic Package Manager, and how to configure my software updater, so I am ready to install it, thanks to you, cfhowlett | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, so ... create a live USB while running a live session? not sure that's doable. | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | samwisegamgee, happy2help | 09:39 |
| samwisegamgee | thanks | 09:39 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, no... I just want to create a live USB. that's all. what do you mean by "while running a live session"? | 09:40 |
| cynicallemon | sgoll, just google "remaster ubuntu" | 09:41 |
| samwisegamgee | I forgot to ask, should I install Synaptic Manager first, or install the restricted extras first? | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, if booted into the USB, that's a live ubuntu session. IF you've got the ubuntu ISO saved somewhere, you can use startup disk creator to make another USB --- but as you're already running from USB, your ram is going to take a hit ... | 09:42 |
| cynicallemon | samwisegamgee, doesnt matter | 09:42 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, I think you don't understand my question. anyway. | 09:42 |
| sgo11 | cynicallemon, reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 09:43 |
| samwisegamgee | Good, I will install the restricted extras first, then install synaptic manager, both using my terminal | 09:43 |
| * cfhowlett watches hands, backs away | 09:43 | |
| eeee | sgo11: wants to make sort of a bootable usb, with persistence, that's like an ext hdd that he can boot via the bios | 09:43 |
| sgo11 | eeee, yeah, right. that is what I mean. | 09:44 |
| eeee | i think you have to dd an ubuntu installation to the usb ? not sure | 09:45 |
| cynicallemon | eeee, im using a live usb image here now i made from my custom debian sid install which is a vm guest on my main pc | 09:45 |
| cfhowlett | !remaster | 09:45 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 09:45 |
| cynicallemon | eeee, yeah once you have the live iso you can use dd to transfer to usb | 09:46 |
| cynicallemon | yep theres tons more reimaging tools too | 09:46 |
| geoid | how can I get a larger terminal buffer? Specifically for being able to scrollback further when the stdout is large. | 09:47 |
| cynicallemon | remastersys was good until it suffered extinction | 09:47 |
| cfhowlett | cynicallemon, +1 ^ | 09:47 |
| sgo11 | cynicallemon, which tool do you suggest now? | 09:47 |
| eeee | geoid: global menu > profile preferences | 09:48 |
| geoid | eeee um... where? | 09:49 |
| cynicallemon | sgoll: i think you have to explore the different ways to be honest as not everyone will like a set way of doing it | 09:49 |
| eeee | geoid: use the menu of the terminal to edit the preferences | 09:49 |
| eeee | geoid: which terminal are you using ? | 09:49 |
| geoid | eeee my terminal doesn't have a menu | 09:49 |
| geoid | eeee I didn't know there was more than one terminal... i just use the standard one supplied with Mint linux... so the one that shows in the main start menu | 09:50 |
| cynicallemon | geoid, right click in the terminal window and see if you get options | 09:51 |
| geoid | It's just called "Terminal" | 09:51 |
| eeee | geoid: do as cynicallemon suggests, | 09:51 |
| geoid | cynicallemon no options on right-click... just things like "move to other workspace" and such | 09:51 |
| geoid | ok wait... if I right-click in the window itself, I see the profile options | 09:52 |
| geoid | I was right-clicking on the window border | 09:52 |
| eeee | geoid: yeah, profiles > profile preferences | 09:52 |
| sgo11 | uck project last update at 2013-01-16. that is very old. | 09:54 |
| sgo11 | I just want to get rid of "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" from the iso file. how to do that? | 09:56 |
| cfhowlett | !kiosk | 09:56 |
| sgo11 | when the live usb booted, it just enter "try ubuntu" option directly. | 09:56 |
| cynicallemon | sgo11, you could take a look at this forum thread maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2216890 | 10:00 |

| Rishub | Hi, I've created some *.so files and I need them to be detected system wide, how would I go about doing that? | 13:27 |
| TeMPOraL | ok, I need some help with keyboard again :D. this time, I've managed to get AltGR running almost properly on ubuntu (with v3:ralt_switch_multikey option which, surprisingly, I didn't need on the other machine yesterday !?) | 13:30 |
| TeMPOraL | the problem I have is that when I depress AltGr the system behaves like I am holding CTRL pressed | 13:30 |
| TeMPOraL | anybody knows how to get rid of that? | 13:31 |

| ashwin18 | Hey guys, I need some help | 13:33 |
| ashwin18 | I messed around with aptitude and removed some packages and now unity doesnt load at startup after the login screen | 13:34 |
| ashwin18 | I need a way to fix this without reformat/reinstall | 13:34 |
| Naphatul | how do i enable an upstart service? | 13:34 |
| ashwin18 | Is anyone here? | 13:35 |
| trijntje | ashwin18: install ubuntu-desktop | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | !patience | ashwin18 | 13:36 |
| ashwin18 | trijntje I'm not able to start terminal | 13:36 |
| ubottu | ashwin18: 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/ | 13:36 |
| trijntje | ashwin18: hit ctrl + alt + f1 and log in there | 13:36 |
| ashwin18 | the desktop just loads with some icons but the dash and the system tray is missing | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, easy fix: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to restore the default ubuntu packkages | 13:37 |
| ashwin18 | what does ctrl + alt + f1 do? | 13:37 |
| ashwin18 | ubottu I know sorry, was just checking if anyone's actually here | 13:37 |
| ubottu | ashwin18: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:37 |
| ashwin18 | Oh, sorry again | 13:37 |
| ashwin18 | I should also mention what I was doing before this happened | 13:38 |
| ashwin18 | I removed zeitgeist, and I think I used a wildcard (apt-get remove --purge zeitgeist*) | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, ctrl alt f1 opens a terminal | 13:38 |
| ashwin18 | Then I installed gnome desktop, then kde desktop, logged out and tried both of them | 13:38 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett isn't it ctrl + alt + t? | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, restore to full default then figure out what you want -- and be carefull | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, try it | 13:39 |
| ashwin18 | The thing is, after I installed both of them, on the login screen I couldn't see a unity option, just two of gnome classic and one of kde | 13:39 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett I will. gotta reboot and try it though since I'm in the live session atm | 13:40 |
| ashwin18 | will I have to start the network manager manually as well? | 13:40 |
| ashwin18 | sinceI think I'll need my wifi active for installing it | 13:40 |

| sgo11 | hi, I want to use ubuntu inside an usb disk. I tried to ask here. but people told me to check LiveCDCustomization or remaster ubuntu. I did google and a few tests. they are not what I want. I don't want to add packages or change background etc... Can anyone please help? thanks. | 14:00 |
| === henry is now known as Guest16182 | ||
| pbx | sgo11, what tests did you do? can you clarify your goals? i.e. what do you want to do once you have ubuntu installed on a usb key? | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: you can install Ubuntu to USB just like you would a conventional drive | 14:01 |
| sgo11 | pbx, just a ubuntu live system inside an usb key with persistence storage. the default iso can do it. but everytime, I boot from usb key, I will see "try ubuntu" and "install ubuntu" option. that is not what I want. | 14:02 |
| dueperdue | Yo | 14:02 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, in such a way, I don't think the system will load to memory, right? live system will load everything to memory. that is what I understand, might be wrong. If I install ubuntu to usb, will be that slower than a live system with persistence storage? thanks. | 14:03 |
| dueperdue | Is this the main ubuntu channel? | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | dueperdue, it is. ask your ubuntu question | 14:05 |
| fridaynext | i have my spamassassin required score set to something like 3.2 - is there some sort of 'spam list' I can import into my spamassassin config to better filter spam? I'm still getting way too much. | 14:05 |
| sgo11 | If I use usb-creator-gtk to create a bootable usb key from 14.04.1 iso. and then boot from that usb, I will see two options "try ubuntu" and "install ubuntu". By clicking "try ubuntu", I will use the live system. I want a live system with persistence storage without "install ubuntu" option. does this make sense? sorry about my English if it doesn't make sense. thanks. | 14:05 |
| fridaynext | sgo11: I achieved that by getting another USB stick, and using the first USB stick to install to the second. | 14:06 |
| sgo11 | like slax.org. the slax OS. | 14:06 |
| dueperdue | cfhowlett: how does one remove unity completely and install awesome window manager? | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity|dueperdue, | 14:07 |
| ubottu | dueperdue,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | dueperdue, eh, not quite what you were asking in that link. | 14:07 |
| mathnoob | hey guys | 14:08 |
| sgo11 | fridaynext, I don't really understand what you mean. I don't need two usb sticks. | 14:08 |
| mathnoob | yesterday when turning off my system | 14:08 |
| mathnoob | i got some message about 'spamassassin mail filter daemon' | 14:08 |
| fatih | hi everyone | 14:08 |
| fridaynext | sgo11: I know, but when I wanted a full system installed on a USB stick, I needed two to get the job done. | 14:08 |
| mathnoob | does anyone know what that's about? i googled and it says it's to do with having a mail server but i never set anything like that | 14:09 |
| mathnoob | up | 14:09 |
| TeMPOraL | so, anyone please know why alt+gr acts like a sticky control? | 14:09 |
| sgo11 | fridaynext, why do you need two USB sticks? weird. | 14:09 |
| TeMPOraL | been debugging this for an hour, and even hand-editing xmodmap configs didn't help | 14:09 |
| fridaynext | sgo11: One has the live install on it, the other is the target that you actually install the full system to. | 14:09 |
| === Keanu73 is now known as Guest82788 | ||
| === Keanu73_ is now known as Keanu73 | ||
| cfhowlett | dueperdue, best someone else address this question with you. | 14:10 |
| sgo11 | fridaynext, anyway, I don't understand. why do you need the first live system. | 14:10 |
| fridaynext | sgo11: Because I'm not aware of a way to use an install disk as a permanent bootable system. Perhaps you're looking to do something different than what I did. | 14:11 |
| fridaynext | I wanted a headless Ubuntu 14.04.1 server that boots completely from a USB drive, so all the SATA ports are free for RAID5. | 14:12 |
| fridaynext | so I created a USB installer, plugged that in, plugged in a SECOND usb drive, and installed from the first one to the second one. | 14:12 |
| sgo11 | fridaynext, ok. I got what you mean. but I just want a live system. is that the same as a live system? that is an installed system in that usb key. | 14:13 |
| fridaynext | If I'm understanding the definition of a live system, then yes, the way I described it does create a live system. | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: the OS will run like a normal install of ubuntu. RAM will be used as disk cache over time | 14:14 |
| reversiblean | sleep 20; dropbox start -i | 14:15 |
| bobptz | 12.04 wil not boot with error: "Could not write bytes: broken pipes" | 14:15 |
| reversiblean | does not automatically start dropbox | 14:15 |
| bobptz | can somebody help me? | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mathnoob: dpkg -l | grep -i spam | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: boot to liveCD and fsck your ubuntu partition(s) | 14:15 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, is that how a live system work? I thought a live system would load everything to memory and the system is running inside memory. | 14:15 |
| bobptz | gere is the dmesg file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7964696/ | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: some of the live system is in RAM, lots of it is still on the CD and is why its not super quick | 14:16 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, It must be a drivers issue, not a hard disk issue | 14:16 |
| reversiblean | sleep 20; dropbox start -i on startup applications does not work, why? | 14:16 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, this is why I posted the dmesg | 14:16 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, but once the required parts loaded to RAM, it will run very fast. do you think a live system is slower than an installed version in usb key? | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: its will be as the USB interface is faster than CD | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: no moving parts | 14:17 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, I just read that fsck is run automatically at boot time | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: dmesg isnt an fsck | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: not every boot, if you run it manually you can watch the progress | 14:18 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, I mean a live system in usb compared with an installed system in usb. which one is faster? no CD here. thanks. :) | 14:18 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, I checked SMART from Windows7, it is a dual boot | 14:18 |
| bobptz | isn't this ok? | 14:19 |
| damiano | hello everybody | 14:19 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, is there somebody experienced here that can look at the dmesg file? To make sure the video drivers are ok? | 14:19 |
| damiano | guys, can i create an image of the PC so when i need to change pc or format i can restore it wihtout problem with all the packages, appliations etc | 14:20 |
| reversiblean | hello, anyone have any idea, why sleep 20; dropbox start -i does not work at startup? | 14:21 |
| sgo11 | basically, I use usb-creator-gtk to create a bootable usbkey, and choose "Try Ubuntu" when booting from that usb key. this is one case. another case is installing the whole system to an usbkey. this is the second case. which one is faster? | 14:21 |
| cfhowlett | reversiblean, best to ask the dropbox folks about that | 14:21 |
| reversiblean | i just want to delay the startup of dropbox | 14:21 |
| cfhowlett | reversiblean, dropbox has command line help | 14:22 |
| Fishscene | dmiano: If you're just looking for something to image your hard drive, I highly recommend Clonezilla | 14:22 |
| reversiblean | but it's nautilus-dropbox from ubuntu i guess | 14:22 |
| damiano | Fishscene, my goal is to create an image of the PC and then restore it when i want | 14:22 |
| damiano | this image must have all the things...applications, packages ecc | 14:22 |
| cfhowlett | damiano, clonezilla +1 | 14:22 |
| damiano | so i am not talking about "backup" or something like this | 14:23 |
| damiano | ook | 14:23 |
| damiano | i will lok at clonoezilla | 14:23 |
| Fishscene | damiano: Yea, Clonezilla will suite you nicely then. It creates an exact bit-for-bit copy of your hard drive. You can save it as a file anywhere large enough to hold it. | 14:23 |
| damiano | Fishscene, perfect...what if i change the PC ? | 14:23 |
| damiano | i mean different pc configuration ? | 14:23 |
| damiano | (hardware) | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | damiano, if you change anything, do not expect the image to function 100% - if at all | 14:24 |
| Fishscene | Well, it only creates an exact copy of your hard drive. It doesn't modify it in any way. So if the system will boot with the hardware change normally, then so will the image of course, when you restore it. | 14:24 |
| damiano | Fishscene, so it copy OS pakcages etc etc | 14:25 |
| damiano | ok | 14:25 |
| damiano | so i do not think there will be problems | 14:25 |
| damiano | i think only if i change arch from AMD to INTEL maybe | 14:26 |
| Fishscene | Yes. An exact bit-for-bit copy of your hard drive. :) It compresses the non-used space though, so blank space doesn't take much additional space. 50GB HD with 25 used = Image ~25GB | 14:26 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, can you look at it please? | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: I cant see anything except a bootup | 14:27 |
| damiano | Fishscene, perfect | 14:27 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, so you saw the dmesg? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: yes | 14:27 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, thanks. ok then I will try to do the fsck | 14:28 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, I am always confused with the drive structure in linux. Is there a command to check all disks? | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: you can run: sudo parted -l and see the partitions. You can then run: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 | 14:29 |
| sgo11 | I am reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 14:30 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, thank you | 14:30 |
| bobptz | I'll go do it now | 14:30 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, btw, last time from live cd, the cursor was rather erratic. I have wireless mouse and the touchpad was dead. Is this normal? or I have more issues? | 14:31 |
| cfhowlett | bobptz, if you're running the mouse, the pad may be disabled. | 14:32 |
| bobptz | well, normally both are working | 14:32 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, I can go to CLI, why do I need the live CD? I can run fsck from CLI, right? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz: as long as the partition is unmounted, then fine | 14:36 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, hi, do you have any ideas which one will be faster? a live ubuntu system in usb key or an installation ubuntu in usb key? thanks. | 14:36 |
| ashwin18 | Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that it worked....somewhat | 14:38 |
| bobptz | ActionParsnip, unmounted? I don't know. Anyway, let me try from cdakes for ever. | 14:38 |
| bobptz | let me try from CLI | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: the installed OS will be faster as files for applications will not have to be hauled from the compressed file to the OS to then run | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: you do realise the difference you are contesting is tiny and will be barely noticable | 14:38 |
| ashwin18 | I used the terminal to install ubuntu-desktop, it DLed and installed stuff and I got the unity entry in the login screen (along with kde which I had already removed) but had the same problem | 14:38 |
| simsim2000 | hello | 14:39 |
| ashwin18 | I then installed kde-desktop, rebooted and used kde from the login screen and it worked | 14:39 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, ok. then I will simply install ubuntu to the usb key. that is also an easier solution. thanks. | 14:39 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, that's a long way to go. next time: kubuntu | 14:39 |
| ashwin18 | I still couldn't get unity to work though, but for now, I have kde | 14:39 |
| jayar | i had the whole LEMP stack runnin fine with nginx, now after update i get 502 gateway error (permission denied with php5-fpm.sock) so i went through all the "solutions" i found on line, with no avail... when looking for /tmp/php5-fpm.sock, it doesnt exist... | 14:40 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett whats a long way to go? | 14:40 |
| ashwin18 | and tbh I hate kde, it just looks and feels wrong | 14:40 |
| ashwin18 | xfce, mate, gnome, cinnamon, even unity is better | 14:40 |
| ashwin18 | just a personal preference thing though | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, install delete logout login ... consider the other ubuntu flavors | 14:41 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett I thinnk I've tried ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu, lubuntu all at some point or the other | 14:41 |
| ashwin18 | but never like this, as my permanent instal, or with canon ubuntu either for the matter | 14:41 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett I'm sorry if i'm not allowed to ask this here, but what do you feel about me getting arch and setting up a de and other software myself | 14:44 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, "linux from scratch" is the standard guide to rolling your own distro. You'll learn a lot and - as you noted - best discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:45 |
| ashwin18 | cfhowlett cool, I'll google that distro and check out that room later | 14:45 |
| Jason___ | Hello Everyone, I am having issues to access ubuntu computer from windows network. I was able to access before and now I am not. | 14:46 |
| Jason___ | Please help | 14:46 |
| ashwin18 | thanks for your help btw, I assume the ctrl+alt+f1 thingy opens the terminal regardless of the current desktop environment and whether it's (the de) is working or not? | 14:46 |
| pbx | Jason___, be more specific about the nature of the failure. what do you do, what do you expect, what happens instead? include any error messages verbatim. | 14:47 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, there was an fsck option at the recovery mode. I did run it. it seemed ok. I run it 2 times. The second time it told me it cannot run because of a read only mode. Is this ok now? | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | ashwin18, it should be DE agnostic | 14:47 |
| ashwin18 | I'm sorry, agnostic? | 14:48 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, actually I did not see any message about good or bad result. It just finished running in a very short time | 14:48 |
| ashwin18 | agnostic (n) a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God. | 14:49 |

| home_ | ok) | 14:51 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, is it ok now? what can I do next? | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: are you sure you checked the Ubuntu partition? | 14:51 |
| Fishscene | Jason___: It sounds like you are using WINS, which can be unreliable. Have you tried to access \\(IP Address of Ubuntu) ? | 14:52 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, no! | 14:52 |
| noir_ | pbx: you're right man, here's the pastebin link to bashrc http://pastebin.com/8VSbwNsV | 14:52 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, I just run the menu option from the recovery menu | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: that is what te parted command is for..it shows what the partitions are and you can scan them | 14:52 |
| Jason___ | Fishscene: I did try with ip address, its the same. I am a begginner | 14:53 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, and they need to be UNmounted for the process to work? | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: yes | 14:53 |
| VRMac|Work | Is there a way to tell the Ubuntu installer to only add Ubuntu to the boot list? | 14:53 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, ok, how do I unmount them, in case they are mounted? | 14:53 |
| VRMac|Work | Or rather, only the Ubuntu being installed? I'm installing Ubuntu on an external drive to give to a friend. I don't want my installation to be on his list. | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | bobo69: sudo umount /dev/nameofpartition | 14:55 |
| Fishscene | Jason___: Have you tried restarting both computers? | 14:56 |
| trijntje | also restart the router | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Jason___: is smbd started (I assume you are wanting file access) | 15:00 |
| Fishscene | ActionParsnip: Not criticizing or anything, but as he stated he was new, how would he go about seeing if smdb was started or not? | 15:04 |

| m1dnight | I think he means iso's that fit on a CD, not a DVD. | 15:12 |
| trijntje | kanupatar: you can try the mini install, that fits on a cd | 15:12 |
| trijntje | otherwise you'll have to use a dvd or a usb drive | 15:13 |
| trijntje | !mini | 15:13 |

| kanupatar | any ubuntu version with latest kernel 3.16 ? | 15:13 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, I could not do it. I even searched for a tutorial on how to do this. The parted command showed I have an ext4 "thing". I also show an /dev/sda. fsck would not run on either because they were busy/mounted. I search bout unmounting and I did not find anything. | 15:16 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, there must be an esay way to check the integrity of the file system. | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: boot the liveCD, list partitions using: sudo parted -l run: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever your Ubuntu partition is....its 2 commands. | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: not simple enough? | 15:18 |
| m1dnight | offtopic: is parted the cli version of gparted? | 15:19 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, I did the parted command. It showed me a list of ntfs and an ext4 thing. (it is dual boot with windows). I alsready tried it | 15:20 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, maybe from the livecd will be unmounted? Maybe I do not know how to interpret the results of the parted command? | 15:20 |
| rww | m1dnight: gparted is a graphical frontend to parted's libraries | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: then the ext4 partition is the linux partition | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: you can umount it if you like, just to be sure | 15:21 |
| samwisegamgee | how do I register a complaint to the council? Do I need to log into ubuntu one? | 15:21 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, so I only need to run fsck on ext4? | 15:21 |
| rww | samwisegamgee: which council? | 15:21 |
| samwisegamgee | the concil responsible for the xubuntu channel | 15:22 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip so I should do "sudo fsck ext4" ? | 15:22 |
| rww | samwisegamgee: ban appeal, or something else? | 15:22 |
| samwisegamgee | No, I need to lodge a complaint about an ops who is not following the IRC guidelines | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: no, that is the filesystem type, not the name of the partition | 15:23 |
| rww | ubottu: appeals | samwisegamgee | 15:23 |
| ubottu | samwisegamgee: If you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page. | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: with you typing that it shows you _haven't_ ran it at all | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: on the same line as "ext4" do you see anyting like "sda6" or similar? | 15:23 |
| samwisegamgee | ubuntuforums said I can register a complaint with the council | 15:23 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, no, I could not find anything like this | 15:24 |
| daniel31 | hi all. having a problem with my online accounts. empathy says: "authentication failed" for both of them; and evolution says "failed to open folder" for both of them. nothing substantial has changes since last time it worked.. :-S | 15:24 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip on top of the list I saw an dev/sda that's all | 15:24 |
| samwisegamgee | If I try messaging the ops, it is likely he will continue to intimidate us and abuse his powers. Better to let the authorities deal with him | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_ /dev/sda is a disk you can hold in your hand, the numbersa after it are the partitions | 15:25 |
| rww | samwisegamgee: Please pay the wiki link mentioned by ubottu a visit, thanks. | 15:25 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, so if ext4 is on the 6th line, this means it is dev/sda6 ? | 15:25 |
| rww | samwisegamgee: if you have additional questions about the appeals process, we can take it to #ubuntu-ops, since it's not on-topic for #ubuntu | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: yes! | 15:25 |
| daniel31 | ohdear, whatdidIjustwalkinon... | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: so run: sudo umount /dev/sda6 && sudo fsck /dev/sda6 in liveCD | 15:26 |
| bobptz_ | ActionParsnip, and you expected me to know this? I am sorry.... | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bobptz_: lots of guides online. How do you think I found out | 15:26 |

| Almindor | how can you tell your routes to prefer one gateway over the other? | 16:25 |
| Almindor | I have a static internal network interface and a dhcp public one which is supposed to be my main outgoing for public connections, but the static interface comes up first and the routes use that one then | 16:25 |

| expunge | mboeru: what happens before it hangs? | 16:27 |
| Almindor | ActionParsnip, yeah that's how I do it | 16:27 |
| Beldar | Redew, So how are you able to install, are you able to get to a live desktop with the usb? | 16:27 |
| Almindor | ActionParsnip, if I pull up the dhcp one first and wait for it, then bring the static one up it works as I want it | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Almindor: then add the commands you execute to run at boot | 16:27 |
| mboeru | here is a screenshot where it hangs, at ip config https://www.dropbox.com/s/yr9745rhxnfld6l/Screen%20Shot%202014-08-06%20at%2019.27.28.png | 16:27 |
| Almindor | ActionParsnip, I have no idea how to tell it to wait for the dhcp to finish in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:28 |
| mboeru | so ipxe gets dhcp, and the ipxe script boots from the lun, i get into grub, then the server start booting and it hangs there | 16:28 |
| Redew | Beldar: What do you mean? I mean, all i get is the install prompt again after restarting. And ehen the USB is out i just get http://i.imgur.com/B9uzjAk.jpg | 16:28 |
| mboeru | prior to the hanging, I do not see any errors | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Almindor: comment out the 'auto eth0' (or whatever the line is for the static interface and the dhcp interface will load as normal, you can then add the command in /etc/rc.local to bring up the static | 16:29 |
| mboeru | just some weird renaming of the interfaces from ethX to p0pX and p1pX ( i have 4 nics, but only one is active) | 16:29 |
| expunge | mboeru: ah =) | 16:30 |
| mboeru | actually two dual port nics | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Almindor: commenting out the 'auto' line means it will not come up on its own but the command will run as root and bring up the inteface | 16:30 |
| mboeru | expunge: do you see any issue in my setup? | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Almindor: background the command with an ampersand so the boot doesn't hang | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Almindor: you get the idea | 16:30 |
| expunge | mboeru: I haven't been following your convo; did you say it all worked, and then their names changed from eth to p?p? | 16:30 |

| Vigour | on system restart, after loging in, i cannot access my data, it has "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop". i logout, login, everything works fine, but on restart it does it again, any ideas ? | 16:34 |
| Jason___ | Fishscene: While I access \\ipaddress\docs it gives error Network error: windows cannot access \\ipaddress\docs error code 0x80004005 | 16:34 |
| Redew | Belar: So, I have the option to install Ubuntu GNOME or Try Ubuntu GNOME. I have installed it multiple times now, and after each installation it tells me to restart, so I do. After the restart, it loads up, then goes back to the install Ubuntu GNOME or Try Ubuntu GNOME box. Each time it has done this. I tried to boot it without/with nomodeset, but that also did not work. | 16:35 |
| Redew | Be | 16:35 |
| Redew | Ugh | 16:35 |
| Redew | Beldar: | 16:35 |
| Redew | Sorry. I really don't like iPads | 16:36 |
| expunge | Redew: did you try removing the install media? =) | 16:36 |
| Redew | Yeah, but I just get that blank screen. | 16:36 |
| Jeruvy | Redew when you rebooted did you remove the install media first? | 16:36 |
| Redew | Jeruvy: I just get a blank screen | 16:36 |
| expunge | Redew: well the blank screen is a hurdle, but it's where you want to be | 16:36 |
| Bustin | Hello there. New install of xubuntu 14.04, can't seem to pair my apple bluetooth keyboard. It shows the mac address of the keyboard, when I try to click pair, it doesn't allow me to. Even when specifying a pin manually. The device name never shows up, as where my apple bluetooth mouse pairs fine. | 16:36 |
| expunge | Bustin: using what, blueman? | 16:37 |
| Beldar | Redew, So for us to help we need you to check the sum of the ISO and be able to boot to a terminal at least or the desktop or give some hardware info on the computer. | 16:37 |
| Bustin | expunge: yes | 16:37 |
| expunge | Bustin: is it in discovery mode? | 16:37 |
| Bustin | expunge: yes it is | 16:37 |
| Beldar | Redew, Checking the sum is imperative. | 16:37 |
| expunge | Bustin: you could try removing the batteries for a moment, then putting them back in, and trying again | 16:38 |
| Bustin | expunge: will that reset the device name / configuration? I've done this before, to no avail. | 16:39 |
| Redew | Beldar: I'm unable to download anything else. | 16:39 |
| frib | is bluetooth broken in ubuntu 14? | 16:39 |
| aliteralmind | Good afternoon. | 16:39 |
| Redew | Also, it is an HP laptop, pavilion g7 | 16:40 |
| Beldar | Redew, Download has nothing to do with what we have talked about unless you have a bad iso. | 16:40 |
| expunge | Bustin: doesn't really matter what it does if you've done it already | 16:40 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: afternoon | 16:40 |
| aliteralmind | Any idea why it's not finding the executable, despite its being on the path? | 16:40 |
| aliteralmind | I'm doing this in a virtualenv: http://dpaste.com/12TF43F | 16:40 |
| Redew | Beldar: Oh, the links I got said to download md5sum and then check it. | 16:41 |
| aliteralmind | export: :) | 16:41 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: :) | 16:41 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: is that file +x? | 16:41 |
| Beldar | Redew, No you check the sum on a web page against a check on the iso from a terminal. | 16:41 |
| Beldar | Redew, Is english your primary language, if not what is? | 16:42 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: chmod +x django-admin.py | 16:42 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Yes: http://dpaste.com/2W6HNZH | 16:42 |
| expunge | k | 16:42 |
| Redew | Beldar: It is, but computer is a language I am far from understanding | 16:42 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: sudo might have a different path, I'm not sure | 16:42 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: what does sudo echo $PATH say? | 16:42 |
| Redew | Also, Beldar, I check on a web page against a check on the iso, but how? | 16:43 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Same: http://dpaste.com/0N7QKRA | 16:43 |
| Beldar | Redew, Are you very young, just wondering as we seem to have some communication issues, and your understanding of the link and or questions I ask? | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | hey there | 16:44 |
| expunge | heya theo | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | I'm trying to write an upstart script | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | one script is emitting a signal | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | the second is "start on signal" | 16:44 |
| Redew | Beldar: I am probably younger than most (17). | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | the first script get fired perfectly. | 16:44 |
| Redew | Really sorry for the confusion, Beldar. | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | the second script never does. | 16:44 |
| ^7heo_ | however, when I "service start second" it works. | 16:44 |
| expunge | ^7heo_: paste them somewhere, including how you are attempting to execute them, and any output | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | expunge: it's really basic. | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | start on [5] | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | emits test | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | and the other | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | start on test | 16:45 |
| expunge | ^7heo_: so is what I asked =P | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | yeah | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | but it's 3 lines | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | so I'm not going to paste anything :P | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | (or not on a pastebin) | 16:45 |
| ^7heo_ | isn't it enough? | 16:46 |
| expunge | not for me | 16:46 |
| dilyan_bg | hey guys | 16:46 |
| expunge | perhaps for someone else | 16:46 |
| expunge | dilyan_bg: heya | 16:46 |
| ^7heo_ | (both scripts also contain "exec echo > /tmp/test.X" where X is the script index; but that is irelevant I think) | 16:46 |
| ^7heo_ | expunge: what do you mean "not for me"? | 16:46 |
| expunge | it is not enough, for me | 16:47 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Actually, attempting sudo export PATH=.... fails with "sudo: export: command not found" | 16:47 |
| Beldar | Redew, Cool take a closer look at the md5sum link this one, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM It gives the command you need and a link to the sums to compare with. Note the md5sum ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso command is an example you would use the name of your iso here "ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso" | 16:47 |
| === Mefistofeles is now known as Guest80383 | ||
| expunge | aliteralmind: I take it that means sudo echo $PATH did not give what you wanted | 16:49 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: is there some reason you need root for this script? | 16:49 |
| Beldar | Redew,This would be on a linux computer look closer at the page for other like MS or apple. | 16:50 |

| Pencil_ | I'm running 12.04 what upgrade should I install safely next. | 16:50 |
| Pencil_ | ? | 16:50 |
| Redew | Beldar: The only thing on here is Ubuntu (Linux?) | 16:51 |
| Beldar | Pencil_, 14.04 is the only supported at this time. | 16:51 |
| Pencil_ | Thank you. | 16:51 |
| Redew | I deleted windows, Beldar | 16:51 |
| Pencil_ | quit | 16:51 |
| ^7heo_ | expunge: http://paste.debian.net/114005/ | 16:52 |
| Beldar | Redew, N, it has Mac and MS check instructions, look at the page closely, on the right side is click links for specific actions. | 16:52 |
| ^7heo_ | here is the stuff | 16:52 |
| ^7heo_ | I copy/pasted around. | 16:52 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: No: "sudo echo $PATH" and "echo $PATH" are equivalent: /home/jeffy/django_files/django_test_venv/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games | 16:52 |
| ^7heo_ | when I "init 4" I get only one line in the /tmp/trace file. | 16:52 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: I'm following these instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn | 16:53 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Currently working on setp 8. | 16:53 |
| Beldar | Redew, The issue is there is no fix without some basic info or actions on your part. | 16:53 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: It works fine if you provide the full path to django-admin.py, but doesn't if you don't. | 16:54 |

| MarkProffitt_ | I installed some fonts and accidentally overwrote the fonts Skype uses for its icons. Where can I get the correct fonts to install? | 16:54 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: naturally | 16:54 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: so you don't know why it needs root | 16:54 |
| ^7heo_ | expunge: any idea? | 16:54 |
| aliteralmind | Well, I started by logging in as root, and creating another account with root access, as described in these pre-requisite steps: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-your-first-digitalocean-droplet-virtual-server | 16:55 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, Tell the channel how you made this accident. | 16:55 |
| ^7heo_ | because if I get it right, any script that "emits" signal should cause the start of other scripts "start on signal", right? | 16:55 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Well, I started by logging in as root, and creating another account with root access, as described in these pre-requisite steps: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-your-first-digitalocean-droplet-virtual-server | 16:56 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: After that secondary account is created, you no longer use "root". | 16:56 |
| MarkProffitt_ | Beldar: Muslim apologists over the worldwide web quote Luke 22:36 in which Jesus says that if his disciples do not have a sword, they should sell their cloak and buy a sword. Therefore, why would Christians complain about jihad and the sword in Islam since Jesus endorses its use? The reasoning of the Muslim apologists is completely flawed because they take the verse in Luke out of context. In truth, they want to divert attent | 16:56 |
| MarkProffitt_ | sorry | 16:56 |
| * rww raises an eyebrow | 16:56 | |
| rww | misquote, I guess :) | 16:57 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: right, but sudo usually uses root | 16:57 |
| rww | mispaste* | 16:57 |
| MarkProffitt_ | Beldar: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer edubuntu-fonts ubuntustudio-font-meta ttf-oxygen-font-family ttf-xfree86-nonfree | 16:57 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: To answer your question: That's what the instructions are teling me to do, so I'm doing them. | 16:57 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: you could try sudo -i, or altering sudo's secure path variable | 16:57 |
| expunge | aliteralmind: k | 16:57 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, This is ubuntu support spiritual matters are not acceptable even if we all support them. | 16:57 |
| Redew | Beldar: I found out how to open a terminal. For the md5sum, would it be md5sum ubuntu-14.04-dvd-i386.iso | 16:57 |
| Redew | Uhh, not sure if that went through | 16:58 |
| Redew | Guess not | 16:58 |
| Jason___ | I am unable to access folders on ubuntu machine from windows network. It is an intermittent access. Please help | 16:58 |
| Beldar | Redew, In a linux OS yes | 16:58 |
| expunge | Jason___: how're you trying to? | 16:58 |
| aliteralmind | expunge: Will give it a try. Thank you. | 16:59 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, an install would not change the fonts used on the OS, you have to do more to change them in a app or OS wide. | 16:59 |
| Jason___ | expunge: on windows explorer \\ipaddressofubuntu\docs | 16:59 |
| MarkProffitt_ | Beldar, that is the command that overwrote the fonts used by SKype | 16:59 |
| expunge | Jason___: so it works, just not reliably? | 16:59 |
| Jason___ | expunge: sometimes it works, most of the time it doesnot | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? | 17:01 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, I would run a apt-get remove on install ttf-mscorefonts-installer edubuntu-fonts ubuntustudio-font-meta ttf-oxygen-font-family ttf-xfree86-nonfree with skype closed and quit. | 17:01 |
| MarkProffitt_ | Beldar, Skype was good before that command then immediately after that command the icons on Skype were changed | 17:01 |
| expunge | Jason___: is it wireless? | 17:01 |
| Jason___ | expunge: it is wired | 17:01 |
| expunge | MarkProffitt_: you should be able to reinstall skype & its deps | 17:02 |
| Jason___ | expunge: I am a beginner in linux | 17:02 |
| expunge | Jason___: that's okay | 17:02 |
| expunge | Jason___: you might try installing openssh-server and using win-sshfs instead | 17:03 |
| expunge | it might be more reliable, it might not | 17:03 |
| mf2hd | hi, does anyone know what the heck happened to my sounds? I watched some episode to end and then tried to start new ep and poof, sounds was gone.... sounds are still working in other apps like flash plugin in firefox, but vlc & totem are mute... | 17:03 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, run this command with skype closed and quit. sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer edubuntu-fonts ubuntustudio-font-meta ttf-oxygen-font-family ttf-xfree86-nonfree | 17:03 |
| jhutchins | MarkProffitt_: The way fonts in X work is that there is a hierachy of substitutions. If you don't have the fonts an application requests, it will substitute a font you do have. If you later install those fonts, or a preferred font, it will switch to the new fonts. I believe that is what happened to you. You could un-install the fonts and it should go back to what it used before. Re-installing skype will not change anything. | 17:03 |
| expunge | mf2hd: and if you close firefox? | 17:04 |
| Jason___ | expunge: how to do that? any tutorial or instructions please... | 17:04 |
| mf2hd | expunge: what? | 17:04 |
| mf2hd | sounds are working just fine in other apps | 17:04 |
| expunge | Jason___: on the ubuntu end: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 17:04 |
| mf2hd | i've rebooted few times, resetted vlc prefs, etc | 17:04 |
| mf2hd | nothing seems to help | 17:05 |
| expunge | Jason___: on the windows end, use http://code.google.com/p/win-sshfs/ | 17:05 |
| mf2hd | oh, and ofc checked the mixers | 17:05 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: Did you set up a web server and specify where /docs was? Forward slashes in Linux, not back slashes. (/ not \). | 17:05 |
| MarkProffitt_ | jhutchins, I'm trying to reinstall to see what happens. I'll expect to to not work | 17:05 |
| expunge | mf2hd: and if you close firefox? | 17:05 |
| Beldar | jhutchins, That makes sense with skype being a MS product, who knows what fonts it is looking for | 17:05 |
| Beldar | ms now anyway | 17:05 |
| jhutchins | MarkProffitt_: Skype being a Microsoft product, I would expect it to use fonts from the mstt fonts package. | 17:06 |
| mf2hd | expunge: canÃt understand how it is connected | 17:06 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: Yep. | 17:06 |
| expunge | maybe, although ms bought skype, they didn't create it | 17:06 |
| mf2hd | but i just relogged in and no sound in videos | 17:06 |
| jhutchins | mf2hd: All videos? | 17:06 |
| mf2hd | flash & de sounds are working ok still | 17:06 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt_, Try the command I gave you with skype close and quit. | 17:06 |
| expunge | mf2hd: ...so firefox is not running? | 17:06 |
| Beldar | closed* | 17:06 |
| mf2hd | expunge: no, firefox is not related in any way :) | 17:07 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: the ubuntu machine was setup by linux expert, who is gone on vacation, I am a beginner in linux and I dont know how he has shared the folders from ubuntu | 17:07 |
| mf2hd | it's the sounds in vlc / totem that i'm missing, not firefox :P | 17:07 |
| Jason___ | expunge: do I need to uninstall samba or anything else prior to installing openssh-server and using win-sshfs | 17:08 |
| mf2hd | even the last episode that sound did work is missing sounds now | 17:08 |
| expunge | Jason___: no, it doesn't use samba | 17:08 |
| expunge | Jason___: samba is probably what you're already using | 17:08 |
| expunge | or at least cifs | 17:08 |
| Jason___ | expunge: ok thank you | 17:09 |
| Jason___ | expunge: how to check if the machine is setup with cifs? | 17:09 |
| mf2hd | so no ideas any1? | 17:09 |
| Redew | Beldar: all i get is "No such file or directory" I dont even know what to do anymore. Ive tried the relevant info on the link you provided to no avail. I understand that this is very frustrating for you, probably, and i apologize. I am trying to help, but i just keep running into more links and more info and more jargon that i dont understand. It's very frustrating for me, and i am very thankful for your patience. | 17:10 |

| Jason___ | expunge: ok, after installing openssh-server and using win-sshfs, will the access to the folders be according to the permissions granted to individual groups? | 17:12 |

| Redew | Beldar: They have taken a networking class, but im not sure if they can help with this issue specifically | 17:19 |
| expunge | Redew: okay, the 2nd is just your install media | 17:19 |

| expunge | Redew: boot up and see if you can CTRL+ALT+F2 to a terminal | 17:19 |
| m1dnight | No, it's just annoying. The issue was gone in 12.04 if I'm not mistaken. It returned in 14.04. I presumed it would have been a difficult fix though. But thanks for the feedback :) | 17:19 |
| expunge | Redew: if you can, and you have networking, sudo apt-get install irssi and come in here | 17:19 |
| expunge | Jason___: never heard of that issue, sorry | 17:20 |

| ubuntufan | Hi. Does anyone here use Dropbox with selective sync? I need help. I would like Dropbox to sync most of my /home dir, with the exception being some specific subdirs. I moved my Dropbox folder to /opt/Dropbox (via the Move option), then did "ln -s /home/username /opt/Dropbox/home". Seems to work, but Dropbox's Selective Sync only lets me select/unseleck all of "home", not the subfolders inside home. Is there a way around this? | 17:25 |
| Redew | Take out USB, boot, crtl alt f2 expunge? | 17:25 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: Sounds like samba+winbind. I would strongly recommend that you not mess with it until your Linux guy is back, or unless you can get him on the phone to walk you through fixing it. | 17:25 |
| expunge | ubuntufan: maybe a symlink tree, excluding what you uwant | 17:25 |
| ubuntufan | expunge: thanks, I'll look that up. never heard of it before. | 17:26 |
| expunge | ubuntufan: well, a bunch of symlinks | 17:26 |
| expunge | rather than the real tree | 17:26 |
| ubuntufan | expunge: Dropbox syncs the data pointed by symlinks, that's why I synlinked my entire home dir | 17:27 |
| expunge | ubuntufan: right, you could symlink the dirs you want inside your home dir | 17:27 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: he is gone to his home country for 2 months. I am the nest tech support guy. I am good at windows but beginner in linux. The users need to access the shared folder and are not able to wait for two months. | 17:27 |
| ubuntufan | but some directories have never-ending sub-dirs and it broke Dropbox's 10k inotify limit. | 17:27 |
| expunge | merely excluding those youd on't | 17:27 |
| expunge | maybe you should just use a better service | 17:28 |
| ubuntufan | expunge: ah, so a whitelist basis rather than blacklist. I see | 17:28 |
| ubuntufan | expunge: what better service? | 17:28 |
| expunge | yeah | 17:28 |
| expunge | I don't know, google drive? | 17:28 |
| expunge | there might even be a fuse-based FS interface for one | 17:28 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: it would be nice, if you could please help me... I can share my screen if you want me to | 17:29 |
| webtux | expunge, is google drive available for linux ? | 17:29 |
| expunge | webtux: yeah | 17:29 |
| ubuntufan | dropbox is available from the official repos, plus Google already knows enough about me :) | 17:29 |
| expunge | heh | 17:29 |
| webtux | expunge, where can i find the client ? | 17:30 |
| expunge | there's a client called 'grive' | 17:30 |
| expunge | something fuse based would be better, though | 17:30 |
| webtux | ok | 17:30 |
| ubuntufan | when Dropbox starts scanning my files for commercial reasons I'll move to something else | 17:30 |
| laspahr | How can I check if I have WiNE installed? | 17:30 |
| expunge | laspahr: 'which wine' | 17:31 |
| expunge | dpkg -l | grep -i wine | 17:31 |
| ubuntufan | run "wine" and seeing if something happens :) | 17:31 |
| laspahr | I can run "configure wine" but it only opens the options, but I can't run .exe files (at least not the ones I tried | 17:31 |
| laspahr | expunge: that returned an empty line | 17:32 |
| expunge | laspahr: then you don't have wine | 17:32 |
| laspahr | but I have Configure Wine, Uninstall Wine Software, and Winetricks? | 17:33 |
| laspahr | maybe I need to reinstall | 17:33 |
| expunge | laspahr: you should install wine via sudo apt-get install wine | 17:33 |
| expunge | not any other way | 17:33 |
| laspahr | okay | 17:33 |
| Beldar | ubuntufan, There are easier ways to backup home. | 17:33 |
| Redew | expunge: I have the computer hooked up to a TV with an HDMI cord. The computer is on and I can see the screen is lit up, but there is no signal going to the TV. This only happens when the install software is not plugged in | 17:33 |
| ubuntufan | Beldar: I dont want to back it up, I want to sync it between 3 computers I use daily depending on where I am | 17:34 |
| Jason___ | Please help me with samba+winbind issue, unable to access the ubuntu shared folder from windows network it gives Network error: windows cannot access \\repo\docs error code 0x80004005 | 17:34 |
| laspahr | Hmmm.. not accepting my Sudo password | 17:34 |
| ubuntufan | ie, if I work a bit on computer 2, and I go home and sit on computer 3, I want to just resume where I stopped | 17:34 |
| Beldar | ubuntufan, Okay there are better ways to do that I'm sure, dropbox is a 3rd party and may not be set up to do what you want is all. | 17:35 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: I would copy the data to a Windows share that you can manage. I don't know enough about your environment to be able to help you. | 17:35 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: You may be able to find and hire another Linux consultant who could help. | 17:35 |
| ubuntufan | Beldar: I can't think of a better way that does not involve VNCing into a single computer (as opposed to working natively). For now I think I'll just whitelist sync ~/dev, .config, /Downloads, and /Documents. That's where almost all of my stuff is. | 17:36 |
| Beldar | ubuntufan, What exactly do you want to sync is it coding, adding apps, pics, docs...etc? | 17:36 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: ok, how to do that? | 17:36 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: Get someone who can access the files to copy them. | 17:36 |
| laspahr | there we go.. now to wait | 17:37 |
| laspahr | done! | 17:37 |
| ubuntufan | Beldar: coding, downloaded documents, written documents. I dont mind manually apt-getting stuff I install, as long as .config is synced I can just resume work | 17:37 |
| Beldar | ubuntufan, AS far as I know dropbox will just have the syncs to a dropbox file not from each pull on one to the others. | 17:37 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: I am able to copy the files to windows from linux, that is the last option, but how to hire linux consultant? | 17:37 |
| === notzopsi is now known as zopsi | ||
| Beldar | !sync | 17:38 |
| ubottu | Helpful information for filing a sync request can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess | 17:38 |
| laspahr | expunge: it still returns an empty line on dpkg -l | grep -l wine | 17:38 |
| expunge | laspahr: then it isn't installed | 17:38 |
| laspahr | even after running sudo apt-get install wine | 17:38 |
| ubuntufan | Beldar: nah it will sync everything in almost real-time. Eg, I'm on computer2, I edit file.txt, as soon as I hit Save, the diff is uploaded to Dropbox's folders, and sent to any other Dropbox clients hooked to my account. If computer3 is turned on at the same, file.txt will be updated immediately (< 5 sec). If it's off, then when it boots, it's updated. | 17:39 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: are you a consultant? | 17:39 |
| laspahr | expunge: what now? | 17:39 |
| ubuntufan | that's what Dropbox does, it's much more than a backup service, it's a sync service (with history too, in case something is deleted by accident) | 17:39 |
| thecha | hi, hlp pls, how do i burn a movie whichis avi to dvd or cd and make it playablein a dvd player? | 17:40 |
| ubuntufan | I meant "the diff is uploaded to Dropbox's SERVERS" | 17:40 |
| thecha | pls hlp k thx bye bye | 17:40 |
| ubuntufan | thecha: handbrake | 17:40 |
| thecha | hand brake as in car? | 17:40 |
| ubuntufan | I think...I haven't used a DVD in like 10 years | 17:40 |
| expunge | thecha: that is a very involved, tedious, tricky process | 17:41 |
| expunge | I would not recommend it | 17:41 |
| ubuntufan | nah the software application | 17:41 |
| thecha | is it gpl? | 17:41 |
| Jason___ | ubottu: are you linux expert? | 17:41 |
| ubottu | Jason___: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:41 |
| thecha | expunge how is it tedious and tricky | 17:41 |
| expunge | and I don't think handbrake authors DVDs | 17:41 |
| thecha | authors? | 17:41 |
| expunge | thecha: there are hundreds of variables, people are employed solely for authoring DVDs properly | 17:41 |
| Redew | Beldar, mind if I bug you again? | 17:41 |
| daniel31 | ubottu is the most knowledgeable linux user on this forum... | 17:41 |
| ubottu | daniel31: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:42 |
| thecha | lol how is this so difficult | 17:42 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: Advertise in your usual hiring channels? I don't know. We had a hard time finding one for a full-time position in the US. | 17:42 |
| thecha | i knew how to do this when i was using windows | 17:42 |
| expunge | thecha: if you have $25, you can get a single board computer like a raspberry pi, and never burn another DVD again | 17:42 |
| thecha | i am only asking becasue i am now on a unbunut | 17:42 |
| thecha | i ma on a ubuntu now so i dont knwo thinsg | 17:42 |
| thecha | i mean i dont know how to do things | 17:42 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: ok thanks | 17:42 |
| expunge | thecha: use tovid | 17:42 |
| ubuntufan | thecha: http://www.devede.org/installation/ | 17:42 |
| expunge | thecha: but you're wasting your time =) | 17:42 |
| ubuntufan | might be in the repos actually | 17:43 |
| thecha | is tovid gpl? | 17:43 |
| ubuntufan | I was linking the devede site mainly | 17:43 |
| bazhang | thecha, use devede | 17:43 |
| tac_ | How would I install the development library for pango? | 17:43 |
| laspahr | expunge: I removed and installed again wine using terminal, it says wine-1.6.2 when I type "wine --version" | 17:43 |
| tac_ | I can't find a libpango-dev or anything similarly-named | 17:44 |
| thecha | so if it fits on dvd? | 17:44 |
| thecha | i mean cd | 17:44 |
| thecha | can i use brasero? | 17:44 |
| expunge | thecha: to burn a data cd? | 17:45 |
| expunge | thecha: or video? | 17:45 |
| Redew | Hmm, expunge, unless I have the USB inserted, nothing pops upl on the screen. | 17:46 |
| Redew | *up | 17:46 |
| laspahr | expunge: working fine now :) thanks | 17:46 |
| expunge | Redew: you said that background did | 17:46 |
| expunge | laspahr: gj | 17:46 |
| Redew | Now nothing happens, expunge. Let me try again | 17:46 |
| jhutchins | thecha: You need to format it correctly so that a DVD player will recognize it. Some will not read CDs. | 17:46 |
| jhutchins | thecha: tovid is a set of scripts and wrappers for other tools that makes the whole process simpler. | 17:47 |
| Beldar | Redew, No go ahead. | 17:47 |
| jhutchins | thecha: handbrake is a single program that I believe can do the whole job. | 17:47 |
| Redew | expunge Beldar Okay, I got it to display that screen again (the one with just the blue screen + triangles). | 17:48 |
| Guest123627 | hello so i have been having problems with a tutorial. can anyone sympifly it for me? | 17:48 |
| Redew | Without the installation USB, nothing else happens, expunge and Beldar | 17:48 |
| Guest123627 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu | 17:49 |
| TaZeR | hey guys is ubuntu better than xubuntu and kubuntu? | 17:49 |
| TaZeR | so much buntu | 17:49 |
| webtux | TaZer, it depends on you config... | 17:50 |
| Beldar | Redew, Sure, how did you load the iso to the usb and on what OS? | 17:50 |
| TaZeR | laptop computer | 17:50 |
| webtux | but how many RAM? | 17:50 |
| webtux | and what use do you want do do with it | 17:50 |
| laspahr | okay, nvm... doesn't work how I thought | 17:50 |
| TaZeR | its core i5-520m 6gb ram, i use it for media mostly | 17:51 |
| laspahr | Maybe it will | 17:51 |
| Redew | I had W7 and downloaded it from the Ubuntu site. I then changed the BIOS to boot from the USB first. The first time I installed it I deleted windows because I wanted Ubuntu. | 17:51 |
| Redew | @Beldar ^ | 17:51 |
| Beldar | TaZeR, The answer is a subjective opinion, try both and form your own. | 17:51 |
| laspahr | I might just need to redownload the .exe | 17:51 |
| Guest123627 | im still tring to get a os on my pc. a diffrent one. | 17:51 |
| TaZeR | i hate making choices, can you guys just chose for me | 17:52 |
| laspahr | yeah it works fine, just a problem with the .exe | 17:52 |
| Guest123627 | TaZeR, xubuntu for your speed. | 17:52 |
| webtux | TaZeR, ubuntu seem good for you | 17:52 |
| expunge | TaZeR: what're you used to? | 17:53 |
| webtux | TaZeR, it's also a question of gust | 17:53 |
| HiddenDjinn | TaZeR: hackintosh | 17:53 |
| HiddenDjinn | TaZeR: or chromium | 17:53 |
| Jason___ | Hello everybody! How to activate winbindd? | 17:53 |
| TaZeR | i had windows 8 before | 17:53 |
| expunge | TaZeR: mmm, well I don't know about Windows 8, but kubuntu's KDE will be more like Windows in general | 17:53 |
| TaZeR | im on kubuntu now i liked screenshot of it the best | 17:53 |
| TaZeR | the ubuntu had a weird bar on the sidwe and my screen is 14 inch | 17:54 |
| expunge | TaZeR: you're probably all set, then | 17:54 |
| expunge | yeah ordinary Ubuntu's GNOME/Unity setup is more like Mac OS | 17:54 |
| expunge | Xubuntu can go either way with minimal configuration | 17:54 |
| HiddenDjinn | TaZeR: that's unity | 17:54 |
| TaZeR | this one is working a bit slow though | 17:54 |
| expunge | TaZeR: what's your graphics device? | 17:54 |
| TaZeR | so i think ill try the xubuntu | 17:54 |
| Beldar | Redew, Ah, really, I think you are stuck and need help from someone more experienced at your end to help. All the tools we need you to use via the net are not really available to get us the info we need, and this a new ting for you, get some help locally. ;) | 17:54 |
| Cyrius1234 | I liked xubuntu and disliked the same things you did ;) | 17:55 |
| Jason___ | expunge: I opened gadmin-samba, it says "Status: Activated, inactive servers:winbindd" please help | 17:55 |
| TaZeR | its the integrated intel gma something | 17:55 |
| expunge | I use Xfce (what xubuntu uses), myself | 17:55 |
| Redew | Beldar: Thanks. I can try and find someone. | 17:55 |
| jhutchins | Jason___: You really shouldn't be messing with it. | 17:55 |
| kostkon | TaZeR, intel hd3000 or hd4000 most likely | 17:55 |
| TaZeR | its gma5700mhd | 17:56 |
| TaZeR | a bit older than those 2 | 17:56 |
| tirengarfio | Im trying to upgrade to 14.04 but I get this: An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by UbuntuI. If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. | 17:56 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: I got till gadmin-samba, all I need is winbindd to be activated | 17:57 |
| expunge | TaZeR: you might indeed to better with a less acceleration oriented wm/de like Xfce, then | 17:57 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: I have backed up the data | 17:57 |
| rww | tirengarfio: do any of those apply? | 17:57 |
| TaZeR | thanks i'll give it a go | 17:57 |
| Jason___ | jhutchins: just wanna get it up and running | 17:57 |
| tirengarfio | rww, I don't know exactly where to begin.. | 17:57 |
| Beldar | tirengarfio, Any PPA's and other 3rd party repos? | 17:58 |
| tirengarfio | maybe.. | 17:58 |
| tirengarfio | well, yes | 17:58 |
| TaZeR | i can just install xfce on top of kubuntu and it will work? | 17:59 |
| Redew | Beldar I just did a thing | 17:59 |
| Redew | Let me try and explain | 17:59 |
| ObrienDave | TaZeR, yes, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 17:59 |
| TaZeR | alrighty | 17:59 |
| Beldar | Redew, There are local ubuntu groups we can get you a link if needed. | 18:00 |
| Redew | I did crtl + alt + f2 and it sent me to something similar to a cmd command on windows. It had me sign in and I did | 18:00 |
| ObrienDave | TaZeR, at login you can select xfce from the drop down menu | 18:00 |
| tirengarfio | Beldar, this is my sources.list: https://gist.github.com/Ziiweb/c28b26d5660f3f95ebd7 | 18:01 |
| tirengarfio | The ppa's should be there? | 18:01 |
| tirengarfio | it seems there is noone | 18:01 |
| KingSkorpion | hi | 18:02 |
| Redew | Beldar: Mind if I PM you a screenshot? | 18:02 |
| kostkon | tirengarfio, 13.04 is eol that's why. you need to edit that file before attempting to upgrade | 18:02 |

| Beldar | tirengarfio, PPA's add outside the repos packages, this alone can cause the issue, don't use PPA's unless that bis the last option, yoo can do ppa-purges to rest the packages to the ubuntu repos versions. | 18:03 |
| tirengarfio | do you mean I should upgrade before? | 18:03 |
| kostkon | tirengarfio, or probably not. they already point to trusty? | 18:03 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | tirengarfio | 18:03 |

| SchrodingersScat | Beldar: that would be fun, and they have a 'how-to' for that on the page, thanks. | 18:14 |
| Beldar | SchrodingersScat, Yeah I have only gone to one a release part at puppet labs, seemed like beard fiasco, heh. ;) | 18:14 |

| Beldar | mr_lou, when you go 3rd party (out of the ubuntu repos) you loose support from some here. You have to weigh whether this is really worth the effort in the end time wise. Really you should have the skill sets to do this. | 18:34 |

| mr_lou | Beldar, Original issue? No, haven't mentioned this anywhere. | 18:35 |
| aliteralmind | I was about to ask if I should chmod the files, or chown them. It seems chown is the solution, because chmod would require opening it up to more users than I want. | 18:35 |

| coventry | On a machine with full-disk encryption, I had to move the sata plugs around in order to accomodate a large graphics card. The system won't boot now, because the ID of the boot drive has changed. What do I need to change to get it to boot. (I've already booted the machine from a rescue disk, and mounted the drive. It is showing up as /dev/sdb1, and I can see the grub directorty, the initrd image, etc.) | 18:38 |

| Freshgale | it also speaks about that UUID | 18:48 |

| vlt | Freshgale: The kernel is told to use the device with that UUID (which turns out to be sda6) as root but it is not found at that stage of boot process. | 18:49 |
| mr_lou | Beldar, You call it an attitude. It takes years to build up such an attitude. There are many reasons I left that platform 15 years ago and never looked back. It has cost me a lot, and I'll never respect that OS nor the company behind it. But I will of course respect channel rules, in the channels I visit. | 18:49 |
| mr_lou | Beldar, But for now, I'm off again. So thanks for your help. :-) Take care. | 18:49 |

| Gnorm | right. that's what I want to install... specifically Backslide | 19:00 |
| Gnorm | but every reference I can find to it links me to extensions.gnome.org which says I don't have the browser addon I need. | 19:00 |

Is there anyone who knows what steps I can take to investigate further? I had to shut down the machine to li | 19:24 |

| blubberbop | So I'm running kubuntu 14.04, I'm tryin to get netflix to work on my machine, and tried http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ It opens firefox with netflix, I can navigate there, but the second I try to see a movie or show, it asks me to install silverlight.. I tried downloading silverlight, but it fails at install saying that update components are missing.. Anybody who might know a solution to this? | 20:31 |
| jhutchins | mjrbordo: Nothing special about ssds, they're just drives. What's probably happening is that the drives are being labeled differently. | 20:32 |
| jhutchins | mjrbordo: I have one running here on ssd. Man is it fast! | 20:32 |
| mjrbordo | yep ssd is incredibly fast | 20:33 |
| mjrbordo | i got samsung evo 840 | 20:33 |
| jhutchins | mjrbordo: Could you state the problem more clearly? | 20:34 |
| mjrbordo | so what i do wrong? im setting 2 partitions one for root 15 GB and 25 for home... no swap cuz i got 6 gb ram | 20:34 |
| mjrbordo | just dont start | 20:34 |
| mjrbordo | like i wasnt install anything on it | 20:35 |
| mjrbordo | previos i get 4 gb swap | 20:35 |
| mjrbordo | but with or without it doesnt matter. Affter instalation in rebooting when i dont take off the pendrive grub doesnt show run ubuntu ask me about live running or installing | 20:37 |
| mjrbordo | when i install and plugged off the install usb ubuntu doesnt start... and its happend on ssd onlu | 20:38 |
| trijntje | what is the best program to use for maximum compression? I won't be looking at the data for a long time, so I don't mind if its CPU intensive to compress/decompress | 20:43 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 20:44 |

| mykrob76 | evening, all. I need help formatting USB drive. I get errors using any of the GUI tools. What's a command I can try? I need to wipe it so I can install a live disk to USB | 20:48 |
| carlo | carlo | 20:49 |
| funkyHat | mykrob76: what are the errors you get, and which GUI tools have you tried? | 20:49 |
| mykrob76 | funkyHat, just a sec, i may have finally made some progress. | 20:49 |
| Bundestrojaner | good evening | 20:51 |
| mykrob76 | funkyHat, i tried the disk utility, and also the "erase disk" method in the startup disk creator, and both failed. However, I just tried disk utility again and it worked when I chose ext4 as the file system... weirdness.. before i tried vfat | 20:52 |
| Bundestrojaner | i've connected a STM32 devboard to my pc (usb), but i can't acces it as user. When i start the debug-server with sudo, it connects to it. | 20:53 |
| Bundestrojaner | What's the best way to solve this problem? | 20:53 |
| ObrienDave | laspahr, hmm, there are examples with IF but i don't know how to use ARRAYFORMULA | 20:53 |
| mykrob76 | trying now to write an iso to usb by command line instead of the startup disk creator | 20:53 |
| SP33D | filename='/proc/kmsg' how can i tell syslog to don't do this | 20:55 |

| === joel is now known as Guest32000 | ||
| l337 | is anyone familiar with Zpanel around here? | 21:00 |
| Bundestrojaner | ezio: windows seems to have another format for time. | 21:01 |
| Bundestrojaner | when i boot windows, clock is wrong. When i set it and chance back to linux, it's wrong there | 21:01 |
| jhutchins | ezio: vmware on windows? | 21:01 |
| jhutchins | Bundestrojaner: Linux assumes the hardware clock is set to GMT, Windows assumes it's set to local time. | 21:02 |
| meecoder | probably broken system clock Bundestrojaner? | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | meecoder: No, very well known issue with dual-boot. | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | Bundestrojaner: http://lifehacker.com/5742148/fix-windows-clock-issues-when-dual-booting-with-os-x | 21:03 |
| jhutchins | Bundestrojaner: That's fixing Windows, you can also tell Linux the clock uses local time. | 21:04 |
| jhutchins | Bundestrojaner: To make Linux use local time edit /etc/default/rcS and change UTC=yes to UTC=no | 21:04 |
| Bundestrojaner | jhutchins: i don't really care about it, because i use windows only for 2 games... | 21:04 |

| Bundestrojaner | in my country, we have dst and there are discussions to cancel it | 21:09 |
| bekks | Bundestrojaner: Since when? :) | 21:09 |
| Bundestrojaner | bekks: since when what? dst or the discussions? | 21:10 |
| bekks | Bundestrojaner: The discussion about cancelling DST. | 21:10 |
| ObrienDave | electricity and internet and everything. ;P | 21:10 |
| jhutchins | People are always arguing about DST. | 21:10 |
| Bundestrojaner | bekks: it appears in the newspapers every few years | 21:11 |

| slb | hi, has anyone installed ubunto 14.04 LTS on a recent Windows 8 or 8.1 machine? | 21:30 |
| xangua_ | !uefi | slb | 21:31 |
| ubottu | slb: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:31 |
| thecha | what do you do in ubuntu if oyur application crashes | 21:31 |
| thecha | and you can't exit anymore | 21:31 |
| Dickens | force quit it | 21:31 |
| thecha | how | 21:31 |
| Dickens | magic | 21:31 |
| magic | Magic? | 21:31 |
| Dickens | just kidding | 21:31 |
| thecha | i dont use magic | 21:31 |
| magic | thecha: Thank you. | 21:31 |
| thecha | it's agaisnt my belive | 21:32 |
| Dickens | thecha you can use the system monitor | 21:32 |
| thecha | but what if i am in a game it is fullscreen and i cant even leave the game | 21:32 |
| Dickens | or you can use the cli and find the process id and just type kill <process ID> | 21:32 |
| thecha | i cant open lci iehte | 21:32 |
| thecha | r | 21:32 |
| thecha | cli either | 21:32 |
| thecha | i am stuck in the window of this game wanting out | 21:33 |
| thecha | and trying everything but it all has just frozen up | 21:33 |
| Dickens | well... you can normally set keyboard shortcuts | 21:33 |
| thecha | i have a keyboard shortcut for cli | 21:33 |
| Dickens | but i dont think the sys monitor has a default one to launch it | 21:33 |
| Dickens | then you can use that | 21:33 |
| thecha | but it wont react once i crrashe dthe application | 21:33 |
| Dickens | you need to know the PID | 21:34 |
| thecha | but i cant | 21:34 |
| Dickens | oh | 21:34 |
| Dickens | well then reboot | 21:34 |
| Dickens | lol | 21:34 |
| thecha | i cant even open a cli | 21:34 |
| thecha | gee that took long enough :D | 21:34 |
| thecha | that is what i did | 21:34 |
| thecha | and i wanted to knwo if there is another way | 21:34 |
| thecha | liek some hiiden superfeature like pressing ctrl and winkey and alt andd shift and f 2 to f8 and o all at the same time | 21:35 |
| thecha | DIckens are oiyu a power user? | 21:35 |
| auxo | join #lainchan | 21:36 |
| Dickens | i dont consider my self a guru but i do know how to use the CLI | 21:36 |
| thecha | wow very leet | 21:36 |
| thecha | how long ahve you been using cli for? | 21:36 |

| nekyian_ | I have a problem saving the configuration I chosen for a monitor with xrandr and cvt. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and can't find the xorg.conf anymore | 21:39 |
| nekyian_ | not that I had one.... | 21:40 |
| thecha | have you tried searching it via ubnity? | 21:40 |
| nekyian_ | how do I do that? | 21:40 |
| tag | such as, emacs/readline key bindings, vim shortcuts, and such. But today, apparently related to some update recently, this broke. | 21:40 |
| rww | ubottu: xorg.conf | 21:40 |
| nekyian_ | I searched for it with locate | 21:40 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 21:40 |
| thecha | unity allowws you to search for the files on your computer whiel alsop informing amazon of your search terms | 21:40 |
| thecha | :) | 21:40 |
| rww | It's not created by default any more, hence probably why you can't find it ;) | 21:41 |

| slb | so, if windows won't boot is UEFI Boot is disabled, then does that indicate that Windows is installed in EFI mode and Ubuntu also needs to be installed in EFI mode per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:41 |
| nekyian_ | I only have a xorg.conf.d folder | 21:41 |
| slb | so, if windows won't boot *if* UEFI Boot is disabled, then does that indicate that Windows is installed in EFI mode and Ubuntu also needs to be installed in EFI mode per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:41 |
| rww | slb: sounds about right | 21:41 |
| slb | anyone with experience in doing such an installation here? | 21:42 |
| rww | slb: generally I'd recommend turning Secure Boot off and leaving UEFI on when dual-booting with an existing Windows 8.1 installation | 21:42 |
| rww | slb: theoretically Ubuntu works with Secure Boot on I think, but it hasn't worked for me so... | 21:42 |
| thecha | rww→ how about with an preexisting win 7 | 21:42 |
| rww | thecha: then it depends on whether Windows 7 was installed in UEFI mode or not | 21:42 |
| thecha | what is uefi mode and safe mode? | 21:42 |
| nekyian_ | I just want to save what I did with xrandr and cvt... How do I do that? | 21:42 |
| thecha | user enabled formating i..something mdoe? | 21:43 |
| slb | rww and also turning off Intel Fast Start, correct? | 21:43 |
| thecha | nekyian_→ if it only were that simple | 21:43 |
| nekyian_ | :) | 21:43 |
| nekyian_ | that is not good | 21:43 |
| rww | thecha: UEFI is a firmware standard that's used on a lot of modern computers. It replaces BIOS. UEFI firmwares tend to have a legacy mode that emulates BIOS. Secure boot is an optional UEFI component that allows systems to mandate that only signed operating systems run. | 21:43 |
| thecha | i have an actualy bios | 21:44 |
| rww | slb: I don't know, sorry. | 21:44 |
| thecha | i have a physical chip | 21:44 |
| thecha | with bios on it | 21:44 |
| thecha | so this doesnt affect me? | 21:44 |
| thecha | i still have troubole wit windows everytume i ran ubuntu | 21:44 |
| rww | thecha: well no, if your computer doesn't use UEFI than UEFI is not particularly relevant to you. | 21:45 |
| thecha | it seems as if ubuntu is slowly murdering win 7 to get more resources | 21:45 |
| thecha | I am gonna make some money! and then i am gonna buy a dedicated ubuntu machine | 21:46 |
| thecha | i am tired of the dualboot | 21:46 |
| slb | rww can i use a regular 14.04 live usb to install? i've seen some guidance re using a EFI only live usb?? | 21:46 |
| rww | slb: as long as your firmware is set to normal UEFI mode and not legacy/BIOS, then using a regular 14.04 LiveUSB created with the methods linked from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop will work fine, as it will have a UEFI partition set up already. | 21:47 |
| rww | i.e., our LiveUSBs (when created properly) boot under both UEFI and BIOS, and will set up the disk accordingly based on how the computer is booted | 21:48 |
| slb | rww i created mine from a computer running ubuntu using startup disk creator and the 14.04 64 bit iso. is that adequate? | 21:49 |
| rww | slb: yes | 21:49 |
| slb | rww, gparted only shows me a regular fat32 partition on the USB (guessing that is UEFI boot compatible?) | 21:51 |
| rww | slb: I don't have the partition layout of the LiveUSB to hand right now, but if it was made by Startup Disk Creator it should be fine. You can check from within the LiveUSB session by running "ls /sys/firmware/efi/" from the terminal. If you get a list of files, you're in UEFI mode | 21:54 |
| rww | (if the LiveUSB isn't UEFI capable, you won't be in UEFI mode) | 21:54 |
| slb | rww, thanks | 21:55 |

| Gahhruuba | download either 32bit or 64bit | 22:52 |
| Gahhruuba | whichever one your system is | 22:52 |
| Gahhruuba | then just run it | 22:52 |
| jak2000 | ok i downloaded a .deb file | 22:52 |
| jak2000 | Gahhruuba: google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb | 22:54 |
| Gahhruuba | download it and run it | 22:54 |
| Gahhruuba | you can just double click .deb files | 22:55 |
| Gahhruuba | and they'll run in ubuntu 14.04 anyways | 22:55 |

| idefine | hi, where can I specify options for upstart? Specifically I'd like to set a value for --logdir | 22:57 |

| blubberbop | So I'm running kubuntu 14.04, I'm tryin to get netflix to work on my machine, and tried http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ It opens firefox with netflix, I can navigate there, but the second I try to see a movie or show, it asks me to install silverlight.. I tried downloading silverlight, but it fails at install saying that update components are missing.. Anybody who might know a solution to this? | 23:13 |
| et09 | ubuntu 14 uses pulse by default, right? | 23:14 |
| tolbertm1450411 | yup, i think | 23:15 |
| et09 | does it require any setup? | 23:15 |
| tolbertm1450411 | nope | 23:15 |
| user42381 | I just peered a bluetooth headset. how do I get sound out of it? | 23:16 |

| expunge | mmm | 23:21 |
| blairexico | well, I'm working on getting SLAAC (or automatic addressing) for IPv6 on ubuntu 14.04, and my ubuntu server won't respond to Router Advertisements. the ubu box should send a request for an address when it gets a RA broadcast from my router, but it dont do a thing. | 23:21 |
| expunge | blairexico: there's a #networking | 23:21 |
| thekkid | I'm using the network manager to connect to a pptp vpn but after like 30-40 seconds it stops working. It still shows as connected but no more traffic. | 23:21 |
| et09 | pulseaudio only works as root, i added myself to pulse, pulse-access... | 23:21 |
| Axizor | Hey guys I'm a complete linux noob, but I'm trying to install amd drivers and I have to kill the display manager and after I stop lightdm I just get a completely black screen, no shell... Is this normal? | 23:22 |
| blairexico | ok great thx expunge | 23:22 |
| expunge | Axizor: try hitting CTRL+ALT+F2 | 23:23 |
| expunge | Axizor: or any key | 23:23 |
| Axizor | expunge: pressing those keys do nothing | 23:24 |
| expunge | Axizor: how did you stop the dm? | 23:24 |
| Axizor | service lightdm stop | 23:24 |
| blairexico | hmm.. expunge.. couldnt find a link to the #networking group here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList .. is it on this freenode server? | 23:25 |
| Axizor | I'm actually currently on mint as I switched over to try, which is mdm | 23:25 |
| expunge | Axizor: and 'pgrep X' doesn't return anything? | 23:25 |
| Axizor | I don't know what you mean by that, expunge | 23:25 |
| blairexico | found it exp | 23:25 |
| expunge | blairexico: gj | 23:25 |
| Axizor | Oh sry lol | 23:26 |
| expunge | k... anyways | 23:27 |
| expunge | you know how to get to the GRUB menu? | 23:27 |
| Axizor | Apparently shift but that don't work for me | 23:28 |
| et09 | is there a 'fastest package repo mirror app' for ubuntu 14? | 23:28 |
| expunge | Axizor: what didn't? | 23:28 |
| expunge | et09: netselect-apt? | 23:28 |
| Axizor | expunge: holding shift in the post screen didn't bring up the grub menu during boot | 23:28 |
| expunge | Axizor: ah, what fun | 23:29 |
| Axizor | expunge: am I doing so etching wrong | 23:29 |
| et09 | hm i don't have it in the trusty 64 repo | 23:29 |
| expunge | Axizor: so sudo service lightdm stop and you get a black screen that is unresponsive? | 23:29 |
| Axizor | Doing something wrong* | 23:29 |
| Axizor | Yes expunge that is correct | 23:30 |
| slb | hi all, back to my 14.04 installation on new win 8.1 (EFI) machine (as dual boot). using usb live disk created with startup disk creator on a ubuntu machine | 23:30 |
| expunge | Axizor: does the installer actually stop if you run it from within X? | 23:30 |
| expunge | slb: wb | 23:30 |
| Axizor | The OS installer | 23:31 |
| expunge | Axizor: huh? | 23:31 |
| expunge | the driver installer | 23:31 |
| Axizor | oh sorry | 23:31 |
| Axizor | Am high lol | 23:31 |
| expunge | heh | 23:31 |
| Axizor | What do you mean within x, the xorg drivers? | 23:31 |
| slb | when asked for device for boot loader installation, should i specify the actual EFI partition that computer came with (e.g., /dev/sda2) or just the hard drive (/dev/sda)? | 23:31 |
| slb | ubuntu community says /dev/sda and that installation will know to put it in the EFI partition | 23:32 |
| slb | making sure | 23:32 |
| Ananta | Is it possible to clean up your install files? Like delete unused directories and such? | 23:32 |
| Axizor | Expunge I figured it out | 23:32 |
| Eric^^ | slb: something is wrong here | 23:32 |
| expunge | Axizor: does the amd driver installer actually fail within X, or does it merely suggest you leave X? | 23:32 |
| expunge | Axizor: mmm, ok, gj | 23:32 |
| slb | Eric^^, ?? | 23:32 |
| expunge | Ananta: yes | 23:32 |
| Eric^^ | slb: you shouldn't be asked about your bootloader, unless you are installing in legacy mode, i guess. | 23:32 |
| expunge | Ananta: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/debian-linux-remove-unwanted-packages-and-files-to-reclaim-disk-space.html | 23:33 |
| Eric^^ | slb: if you're installing in UEFI mode, it should detect the EFI partition | 23:33 |
| Axizor | Expunge within x closing display manager just crashed out, when using fglrx it was fine | 23:33 |
| jim1 | hello, my log folder is taking up too much space currently 10 gigabytes...why? | 23:33 |
| Axizor | I never actually started the installer | 23:34 |
| Axizor | That's to be done after the manager is shut off | 23:34 |
| slb | Eric^^, i am in EFI mode - checked with ls /sys/firmware/efi/ and also appearance (ugly grub like text menu) when usb booted as opposed to graphic one | 23:34 |
| Eric^^ | slb: was there a tiny man next to a usb when it loaded? | 23:34 |
| Eric^^ | (at the bottom of the screen) | 23:34 |
| Axizor | Hey expunge is kde lightweight | 23:34 |
| slb | no | 23:34 |
| Eric^^ | ok | 23:35 |
| expunge | Axizor: not really | 23:35 |

| d4rks1d3r | hi all | 23:36 |
| slb | so Eric^^ should boot loader go to /dev/sda or /dev/sda2 | 23:37 |
| === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson | ||
| Eric^^ | i guess /dev/sda2 if that's the EFI partition | 23:37 |
| Eric^^ | hold on | 23:37 |
| Eric^^ | 1 sec | 23:37 |
| expunge | d4rks1d3r: heya | 23:37 |
| d4rks1d3r | trying to install avahi-daemon | 23:38 |
| expunge | try harder | 23:39 |
| d4rks1d3r | but apt-get says its not available, any idea | 23:39 |
| Axizor | expunge: the problem is I can't be on fglrx when I use the installer but it's the only way I can close the display manager and still get a shell | 23:39 |
| d4rks1d3r | expunge: thanks for the advice :) | 23:39 |
| expunge | d4rks1d3r: check with apt-cache search avahi | 23:40 |
| expunge | Axizor: do it from a live OS, then | 23:40 |
| d4rks1d3r | nothing | 23:40 |
| d4rks1d3r | no output | 23:40 |
| et09 | is netselect-apt just a script? | 23:41 |
| expunge | most things are just scripts | 23:42 |
| Eric^^ | slb: did it initially point to your root partition ? | 23:43 |
| slb | there is no root partition yet | 23:44 |
| slb | i'm in the process of installing and at partitioning stage | 23:45 |
| Ananta | best FTP server for ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| slb | it initially pointed to /dev/sda | 23:45 |

| absk007 | why is ubuntu spying on users by sending our desktop search queries to advertisers or search engines? | 23:46 |

| absk007 | expunge, how to stop this from happening? | 23:48 |
