What is find doing differently when looking at the files in the directory? === chacane is now known as brian === brian is now known as chacane [00:06] Bryson: the shell tries to expand the "dir/*" into a list containing every file... the command line can't take that! find -delete operates on 1 file at a time [00:07] can somebody ban nevermoreraven ? [00:07] Bryson: the 'xargs' command is designed to work on large argument lists too, I believe [00:07] loa: please join #ubuntu-ops to discuss [00:08] phunyguy, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.08.08-04%3A08%3A14.png [00:08] TJ-: I had somebody one tell me some one-liner answer to this question ni the past, something about find using inodes for looking at files so the number of them is not relevant? does that sound right? I may be remembering incorrectly. I don't remember enough of what he said to do effective googling [00:08] loa: why can't you listen? [00:10] loa, put them on your ignore list. done. [00:10] done. [00:10] but i think he is spamming not only to me. [00:10] nevermind. [00:10] loa: if it was not in this channel, we can't do much about it [00:10] you wll have to take that up in #freenode [00:11] but next time, keep in mind, the ops hang out in #ubuntu-ops [00:11] Bryson: No... its much more simple. "*" is the shell's Exansion operator which matches all entries. It builds a list of names generated by that expansion. With 1 million files in a directory the list will be too large to pass on the comman-line to a process [00:12] phunyguy, it was in this channel and i don't know him. [00:12] very well. thanks TJ- [00:12] loa: just keep in mind for the future. We don't need vulgar private messages repeated in the channel. [00:12] my typing is getting terrible...

I'm currently in the live bootable environment on ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, I need to MOVE a folder named .foldername located in /home/myname/ to my usb hard drive, but I keep getting permission errors. the current owner is apparantely "user #1000", 'id' in the terminal gives "uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)" [02:05] Some more info: the folder I want to move is located on my older ubuntu installation [02:05] And I'm a linux newbie [02:06] stonner: that's what I did [02:06] with sudo yes [02:06] jl320: whats the playback issue? no playback at all? [02:07] jl420*: [02:07] any help would be appreciated. I installed ubuntu 14.04 about 2 weeks ago. Ive been trying to enable dvd playback. there all store bought movies im trying to use....Ive installed restricted extras package, libdvdread4, libdvdnav4, and the libdvcss and still i have no luck. Ubuntu see the drive i can even eject it using the terminal. automount only works with one dvd [02:08] might have to set the region [02:08] Its weird this one movie it picks up reads and plays but no others. I set the region to region code 1 [02:08] ashwin18, .foldername is owned by root. you have to go through sudo, change permissions, or the root terminal to move that folder [02:08] LostNva [02:08] andlabs: is the iso use the filesystem iso9660? [02:08] what'st he best way to find out [02:09] ObrienDave: althoug I understood what you said I'm new at this and googled solutions haven't really worked, can you walk me through this please? [02:09] stonner, iso9660 defined CD recording, not the ISO file [02:09] I can navigate into the /usr/myname folder in terminal [02:10] jl420: do the movies all play in another player? [02:10] ObrienDave: the type of the iso should be according to isso9660 [02:10] ashwin18, yes, because you have read permissions for that folder, not write permissions [02:11] jl420: all i can tell you if one plays fine and the others dont, all I can think of is region code. [02:11] anyone have any ideas. It automounts and plays this one stupid movie called "setup" with 50 cent lol but no other movie...Could it be in some weird way cause that movies named "setup"??? [02:11] ObrienDave: No I meant I can go as far as navigating to teh correct folder in terminal but I'll need someone to walk me through [02:11] jl420, Have you tried multiple players vlc is a good one to try. [02:11] ObrienDave: actually iso9660 does define a filesystem structure for data discs, but it is not the only possible filesystem structure [02:12] ashwin18, read for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660 [02:12] I tried starting nautilus using sudo but that doesnt work either, going to that folder's properties throws up a real quick error message about the current user being user 1000 before nautilus crashes [02:12] why am I reading about the ISO container format? [02:12] andlabs, really? naw, seriously? dang ;P [02:12] so anyone have an idea as to why the same hardware on 12.04 has drastically slower download speeds through Sabnzbd+ when running 14.04? [02:12] LostNva Its weird i mean like 20 other movies all that work in other players. Its so weird this one movie works. Yes ive tries vlc while am still trying lol....I ran it in mplayer via terminal i can show u the results [02:13] i need help with iso mount n kdesudo [02:13] gotta be some sort of resource settings... I tried everything through the sab settings to make it better to no avail, so I figure maybe Ubuntu is tying up resources differently? [02:13] ObrienDave: could you please walk me through this? The folder is like 200 kb and all I need to do is get it on my portable hard drive then repartition and reformat the internal one [02:14] jl420: like Beldar said, try other players, and see if you get same results on same computer, vlc, smplayer, mplayer etc. [02:14] ashwin18, my apologies, sent link to the wrong person [02:15] Ive been trying to solve this issue for 5 days now...I just dont get why this one movie [02:15] ObrienDave: no problem at all [02:15] * works. [02:15] OMG I think I did it [02:16] I started an instance of nautilus using sudo, then navigated to the folder, right click > copy, then used the SAME INSTANCE of nautilus to navigate to my destination and 'paste' [02:16] Im in Canada so region code 1 is what i would want rght [02:16] I was directly using 'paste' on the desktop before, that's why it didnt take it [02:16] ashwin18, we love self helpers :D \o/ [02:16] And just checked the permissions, it says 'me' awesome! [02:17] ObrienDave: haha, I learn something new everyday with nux [02:17] ashwin18, so does everyone here :)) [02:17] jl420: im not really sure if you can, but can you try different region code, where did the movies come from. [02:17] :P [02:18] andlabs: try this $sudo mount -o loop,unhide,rw -t iso9660 yourimage.iso /mnt/iso/ [02:18] sitll nope [02:18] Gotta go, I have a hot date with my PC, reformat and everything ;) [02:19] stonner: if it helps, this ISO is bootable [02:19] (need to change boot configuration, but that's on the main data track/ISO section) [02:20] They're all popular movies bought here in Canada and made in America. Its not hte discs its somethin with ubuntu. I just switched to ubuntu 14.04 roughly 2 weeks ago. (I really am enjoying it) other than this problem. But on windows xp I had no problems with watching these movies on this system [02:21] jl420: yeah thats an odd problem, need to figure out whats different about the one movie that plays. [02:21] jl420: maybe the one movie isnt in dvd format. [02:22] LostNva Do u think it could possibly be the name of the movie itself "setup"??? [02:22] jl420: no, are you sure its a dvd? [02:22] Has anyone gotten webex working with 14.04? [02:23] Yes theyre all store bought movies. I dunno its so weird [02:23] the stuff that shows up in mplayer when i run a dvd through terminal is weird [02:24] jl420: put the setup move and one other movie in and right click, choose properties, see whats different if possible. [02:25] I cant because only the setup movie will show up at the side. No other movie mounts. [02:25] dcwilliams_VA, Java issue? [02:25] I guess i shoulda been more clear about my problem....Only that one movie even mounts [02:26] jl420: yeah makes sense, I've had dvd issues, it was all or nothing though. Thats odd. [02:26] looks like it. [02:26] dcwilliams_VA, http://askubuntu.com/questions/459838/webex-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-14-04-please-help [02:26] Thanks! [02:26] gr33n7007h: 'sudo aplay -l' gives "aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found..." [02:27] jl420: all I could suggest is try reinstall the goodies, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 [02:27] dcwilliams_VA, took less than a minute to find may work several options. [02:27] LostNva do u think I should un-install all that stuff first??? [02:28] jl420, yeah wouldn't hurt.

Thank u so much for your help and pointing me in the right direction [02:33] np [02:33] andlabs: in osx exist a software called unarchiver [02:33] andlabs: but in linux i think isomkfs cal help you [02:34] Beldar I can only get one store bought dvd to mount even though all the dvds are the same other than name [02:34] jl420, This an external reader? [02:34] No its an internal [02:35] Beldar its internal [02:35] jl420, Can you confirm it works on more than one dvd at all? [02:36] Beldar I put this movie in it mounts and plays any other movie i put in doesnt even mount. [02:36] Beldar the movies all work on other players and worked on this one until i installed ubuntu [02:37] andlabs: you can mount as red permissions, then copy all the content to a directory, make the changes and create a new iso [02:37] Beldar Its a dell latitude d610 lap top that had windows xp if that helps [02:38] jl420, I would rule out the player itself, not really an area I know well, myself I'm careful to confirm from the bottom up. There are newer dvd encryption setups that can cause this. [02:38] andlabs: dont forget to use the option: unhide [02:39] Who here despises UEFI? [02:39] jl420: typically you don't mount dvds, you just play them... [02:39] lol [02:39] lololool [02:39] inthedryer, Not really a support issue, state the issue you need help with to the channel. [02:39] Beldar so u think this is an encryption issue even tho i installed everything necceasary [02:40] jl420, I'm guessing to be honest, not my at my pay scale. ;) [02:40] zykotick9 I just mean it doesnt even auto show when i put a dvd in it doesnt ask me what to do except this one movie lol [02:41] Beldar I see that makes sense. I thought there was no pay scale with open source free os [02:41] lol [02:41] jl420: if you happen to have mplayer installed, try "mplayer dvd://1" other then that, i got nothin' good luck. [02:42] Beldar do u know anyone else who might be able to help [02:42] stonner: that works, but this is a bootable ISO [02:42] jl420, It's code for "I have no idea". ;) [02:42] so an in place editw ould be better [02:42] zykotick ran it with mplayer like that.

[03:16] gr33n700h: any idea how to get it to use my bluetooth adapter and headset as a sound card? [03:16] Bustin, the only reason it will say that is that there no route to your keyboard 1) it's powered off 2) it's not in discoverable mode [03:17] gr33n700h: that it *is* seeing.... just not as a sound card! [03:17] I probably give this problem way too much thought. I only split the last one into 6 linux partitons [03:18] jl420: 1) install VLC 2) play disc 3) be happy [03:18] daftykins I sure wish it worked like that for me [03:19] ubuntuuser1357, I wouldn't know how sorry :( [03:19] jl420: at what point does it go wrong?

[03:22] that's what he said [03:22] daftykins here we go... I installed ubuntu restricted extras, libdvdread4, libdvdnav4, libdvdcss since then ive spent hours trying to solve the problem using vlc and mplayer through terminal. [03:22] ObrienDave: as in one disc of several films? jl420 can you confirm? [03:22] yes i will do that now daftykins [03:23] jl420: 'libdvdcss2' yes? [03:23] lol, I think the idea was to use one kernel in a small boot sector to speed up startup for multiboot (its still just dual boot). I best get to work and see if I can deal with UEFI and GPT partioning on my other system. [03:23] ive tried lots of different store bought dvd movies and only one works and the only thing different about this one dvd movie is its name is setup [03:23] doing what u asked now daftykins [03:24] did you get the proprietary drivers?

[03:24] hello [03:25] inthedryer: please don't comment when you don't understand the topic well [03:25] can output be piped to pastebinit, i.e. lspci|pastebinit [03:26] yes.

[03:27] inthedryer, the real issue is the system is not recognizing the DVD at all. no mount, no read, no play [03:27] ubuntuuser1357: yep, you could've also tried it to find out ;) [03:27] daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/7985245/ [03:28] ooh, but its recognizing the drive? [03:28] the man might give an example of that. such syntax could be a really handy way tp pastebin stuff [03:28] inthedryer: i know you mean well but you're not helping [03:28] jl420: ok at least i see the drive fine on line 760 there [03:29] Bustin, make sure green led is blinking on keyboard and try: hidd --killall && rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:22:41:D9:CE:63 [03:29] daftykins so thats good right lol [03:30] jl420: yep, now can you explain what ObrienDave told me about one DVD working and others not? also, what kind of discs are these? all legitimate purchased films (i don't care whether you're naughty or not, it'll just make life a lot easier to know either way) [03:30] Hi all, I'm getting a few errors with my IPv6 only VPS and doing apt-get update, I get these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/7985230/ and this is what is in my /etc/apt/sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/7985228/ [03:31] My dvd detects the DVD but does not play it I get error while reading file with chapters ... any one has seen this error??

The only diffrence with the one dvd that works and the one that doesnt is the name. None of them are burnt or anything theyre all legite good copys. the name of the one that works happens to be "setup". its a movie no different than the rest but the name [03:32] daftykins: that's how to mount an ISO image [03:33] I just want to drop it into a loop device [03:33] is that possible to remove whoopsie? when I try to apt-get remove it, it will also remove desktop manager... [03:33] gr33n7007h: this is baffling, the green light is flashing, ran the command, and Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Host is down [03:33] andlabs: i don't follow the distinction then, sorry. [03:33] but my bluetooth mouse (which is a mac mouse too) pairs fine [03:33] the same happens to apport. [03:33] daftykins: so I can use /dev/loop0 in utilities like cdrwtool that demand an actual CD burner [03:34] Bustin, this is puzzling me too, have you got new batteries in the keyboard? [03:34] andlabs: oh so you just want to know the device name once mounted? [03:34] daftykins is there anything else i can do [03:34] Bustin, try turning power on keyboard ON/OFF a couple of times and try again [03:35] gr33n7007h: ok, it's connected, and did it via Blueman. [03:35] Wow.. [03:35] jl420: so the film that works, you see an icon appear on the desktop, but for the others - nothing? [03:35] it found it, and actually connected. Using it as we speak, thank you for all your help [03:35] Bustin, glad to hear :) [03:35] gr33n7007h: should I remove bluez? [03:35] daftykins yup exactly [03:35] daftykins: sure that works [03:35] Bustin, no not really [03:35] jl420: no obvious damage to the disc surface i take it? [03:36] ah, it's losetup [03:36] daftykins nope theyre all good and played in this player before ubuntu install 2 weeks ago [03:36] andlabs: so manual mount as above then spot the mount location with 'df -h' maybe [03:36] gr33n7007h: I want to thank you for your assistance, and being so patient. [03:36] very helpful, thanks again. [03:36] jl420: what was different then? Windows?

[03:39] xangua, its a desktop if that matters [03:39] I just don't need the HDD spinning 24/7 just when accessed via samba or ssh [03:40] jcabb: just so you know, that induces more wear over time [03:40] daftykins its actually 2gbs of ram but your right it is a very dated system.

[04:12] i have been messing with VDPAU and getting VA working... i got it working fairly well, but i wanted to fix an issue with a file it wanted to open but couldnt [04:13] i added a couple of environment variables in /etc/environment and once i rebooted the problems started [04:13] boot live session, chroot, undo the mistakes [04:13] back in time for dinner. [04:14] i ssh'd in since by graphics was SO SLOW and removed the variables and rebooted again, but the problem has persisted :-( [04:14] this is my media center box and have put alot of work into it [04:15] What sort of hardware is in it? [04:15] "the problems" ? [04:15] eeee you getting all of this... i tried removing the intel-linux-graphics-installer to attempt going back to stock intel graphics drivers [04:15] its a mac mini 2007 build [04:15] interl version [04:15] everything worked pretty well. i was very satisfied,, until i broke it today :-( [04:16] still waiting to hear what the problems are [04:16] how can I define a second icon theme which will be used when the icon is missing in the chosen icon theme? thanks. [04:16] when i htop, i see that one of the cores is going crazy to nearor at 100% [04:17] To run the stock intel drivers, did you have to use a driver wrapper? [04:17] I just installed ubuntu 14.04 and is not being recognized when pressed [04:17] alt, ctrl work [04:17] euxneks: type xev in the terminal [04:17] inthedryer: nightdemon666 means the default drivers from the base install, now please stop wasting peoples time [04:17] every other key works.. any suggestions I can follow? [04:17] why i am not getting chrome on my launcher? it is running [04:18] and as i am minimizing it, it is lost, I don;t know where? [04:18] daftykins, im sorry, im a wasting your time? [04:18] eeee: yeah, strange, is not recognized, maybe I have to change my keyboard layout [04:18] nightdemon666: read the sentence again, the first nick was the intended recipient [04:18] How do you know what he means? I'm trying to at least help get the screws turning until my problem is solved [04:19] inthedryer: because i know what i'm talking about. [04:19] RahulAN, In the terminal google-chrome [04:19] ok, just making sure... im trying to get to the point here where what im trying to do is get to the bottom on what the heck happend to make this crazy graphics issue persistant [04:19] how to get chrome running on side bar? [04:19] nightdemon666: so oter than high CPU Load on one core, still waiting to hear what problems you're experiencing [04:20] i made sure the environment variables i set were removed from the /etc/environment file... do they get stuck somewhere else too and the system is still using those variables? [04:20] Beldar, yes it invokes but nothing is shown on side bar of chrome [04:20] the symptom is that the graphics are now REALLY choppy and slow [04:20] RahulAN, side bar of chrome? [04:21] because that one core is working its ass off to render the video output i guess :-/ [04:21] No side bar of ubuntu desktop [04:21] Beldar, ^ [04:21] nightdemon666: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" - then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [04:21] nightdemon666: also what version is this please? [04:21] 14.04 [04:21] amd mac [04:21] RahulAN, not a chrome or unity user, maybe the reset for your release might work [04:22] I don't want to interupt with my problem while in the middle of solving his. Thus I do as my Math Teacher once said "Just by asking me the problem and my bouncing your questions back at you, you guys figure out the problems yourself " [04:22] inthedryer: that is not acceptable here. [04:23] Beldar, previously when i was working i was getting my running application icon on my desktop side bar, but as i am running chrome its icon is not coming on side bar [04:23] inthedryer, That can become really irritating [04:23] found the solution, just edit index.theme. anyway. [04:23] inthedryer, i appreciate any help,im pretty bummed out about screwing my computer up [04:23] RahulAN, not a chrome or unity user, maybe the reset for your release might work [04:23] * johnc4510 to channel...I know this isn't an ubuntu problem but maybe someone can help...i registered my nick and password with freenode yesterday and used both. today it won't recognize my password....and /stats p shows me no freenode staff.

[04:27] hi, I am trying to disable service at startup. for example "sudo update-rc.d -f whoopsie remove". it doesn't work. after reboot, the service is still running. can anyone help? thanks. [04:27] \quit [04:27] oh snap [04:27] when i click on the dash, it now takes forever to load, anything takes for ever to load. at log in screen everything seems normal, but when i boot to the desktop, when i click on anything its choppy as crap [04:27] I just figured it out, I had a "joystick" button pressed which disables the super key [04:28] that was easy ;P [04:30] nightdemon666: i'd suggest you look up how you should've uninstalled that other intel driver... [04:30] i also tried a different accountof mine on the system, so its definitely system wide. when i had the VDPAU driver installed, i did do the no-no of setting the driver system wide by uncommenting the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20vdpau-va-g [04:30] VDPAU is not a driver. [04:30] but i set the comments back, and no changes :-( [04:30] As for me, I have a system that never ran linux, and has hardware designed for windows 8, in other words, designed to make installing linux a bit** [04:31] i did sudo apt-get purge intel-linux-graphics-installer [04:31] inthedryer: EFI installs are easy [04:31] nightdemon666: i know what you did, but that's not what i said :) [04:32] which other intel driver daftykins? [04:32] you said you can see that the stock one is in use? [04:33] well i can see *A* 'intel' driver is in use [04:33] andyes, i understand that VDPAU is not a driver, i mis-stated that [04:34] yeah the i915 one right? [04:34] well i don't know how the one you downloaded the installer for would be called, if anything different === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [04:34] but what i said above was for you to go back to that site, presumably 01.org ? and look at how *they* say to properly uninstall their driver [04:35] inthedryer, At one time MS was the largest contributor to the linux kernel, no design for making linux anything in usfi. [04:35] i can pop in a live CD and see what kernel module loads, but i don t have time for that now [04:35] uefi* [04:35] nightdemon666: in fairness though it sounds like you've been fiddling with everything under the sun, so perhaps you should just clean install [04:35] yeah i thought about that too... i do need to look further into that, although i reinstaleld it again just to see if the installer would happen to fix something that got messed up [04:36] daftykins, i know, i'd hate to have to do that too, it acts as an smb server and ssh/sftp server for other clients :-( [04:37] ah, you made a huge mistake in your HTPC design. [04:37] *modularity* is key [04:39] daftykins, yep just thought about that too. all the files should reside on a separate server that all it does is host files on a headless server. nothing fancy [04:42] Looks like the '-U' option of `top` is broken even in 12.04 LTS [04:43] Is there anyway around it? [04:54] nightdemon666: btw have i seen you in XBMC before? is that what you use? [04:59] hello [05:00] daftykins: Why have you been rude to me?

[06:33] alexnder: welcome to the #ubuntu channel \o [06:33] \quit [06:34] hi, when I run "sudo update-grub", which partition will it install to? My grub is at /dev/sdb. It doesn't take any change after I run "sudo update-grub". [06:40] sgo11: update-grub only updates the config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [06:41] sgo11: So it doesnt care what partition that might be on [06:42] why are you updating grub sgo11? [06:42] hateball, I changed the timeout to be 0 in /etc/default/grub. but it doesn't change. [06:44] sgo11: Do you mean that it does not change /boot/grub/grub.cfg, or that it "doesnt work" ? [06:45] do it again sao11 and it may work. [06:45] sgo11: try grub-mkconfig [06:46] let me try it again. [06:46] or try update-grub2 [06:46] all update-grub is, is a wrapper for grub-mkconfig :) [06:47] it doesn't work. so what should i do now? [06:47] now reboot it [06:48] and then do it again, maybe it'll work. [06:48] laughingtiger, update-grub2 and update-grub are the same program. [06:49] lol. I think the file you've tried to edit didn't get saved. [06:49] hateball, I change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub, then run sudo update-grub. it doesn't work. [06:49] check the file [06:50] sgo11: What I asked was: does it not change the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg at all? [06:50] Or does it "not work" when you boot? [06:50] hateball, I don't where to look in grub.cfg. I did grep those parameters. nothing in grub.cfg [06:50] I don't know* [06:50] sgo11: the params have different names, grep for time [06:51] sgo11: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep timeout === cdmsn|awy is now known as cdmsn [06:52] hateball, eeee http://pastebin.de/129010 [06:53] sgo11: it's set to 0 [06:54] eeee, but at every boot, I can see the grub is counting from 8s. [06:55] btw, I installed the ubuntu to a usb flash drive. /dev/sdb is where the grub installed. I am not sure if that matters or not. [06:56] why didn't you mentioned this earlier, this is exactly where the problem lies. [06:57] lol [06:57] laughingtiger, I said the grub was installed in /dev/sdb. is that not enough? so please, what is the problem? thanks. [06:58] Hi have anyone use evernote from ubuntu? [06:58] well, is /dev/sdb your usb or hard drive? sgo11 [06:58] laughingtiger, /dev/sdb is my usb. [06:59] maybe grub has been installed into somewhere else. lol [06:59] laughingtiger, when I install ubuntu, I am sure that is installed to /dev/sdb. I used this usb flash in many PCs. the grub is the same when booting from that usb drive. [06:59] I don't know, I just think you installed it on a usb is the cause of the problem [07:01] hateball, eeee sorry to interrupt, any ideas? [07:01] sgo11: sudo nano /etc/default/grub [07:02] eeee, yeah, do I pastebin the contents to you? [07:02] sgo11: no, add this line GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT [07:03] then sudo update-grub and restart [07:03] eeee, ok. doing it now. thanks. [07:04] btw, don't be so obsessed with those little tricks. lol [07:05] and don't care what I've said , I'm only a laughing tiger who can only lol. lol [07:05] eeee, sorry. it still shows 8s. I am in grub screen. [07:08] !bootinfo | sgo11 this will tell you every where grub is [07:08] sgo11 this will tell you every where grub is: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems.

[07:13] sgo11: type cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep recordfail= [07:14] eeee, that shows set recordfail=1 [07:15] try to manually set it to 0, and reboot [07:15] if it works thats the problem, but next time you run update-grub it'll disappear [07:15] eeee, ok. I will try that. if that dose not work, i will paste bootinfo result to pastebin. thanks. [07:16] sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg > ctrl+w to search, type recordfail= [07:18] eeee, sorry, it still shows 8s. [07:20] sgo11: what's on your pc? [07:21] eeee, Beldar http://pastebin.de/129011 [07:21] I have a question I have ubuntu setup [07:21] maybe the grub found on the other drive is being run, and it sees the OS of the USB? [07:21] but im pretty new to this [07:21] eeee, another ubuntu installation. [07:21] sgo11: ok great [07:21] a lot of the time I see access denied for my files. is there a way I can disable that for a whole directory? [07:22] I login with my FTP credentials [07:22] eeee, at boot time, I choose boot from USB. it uses my /dev/sdb usb grub. [07:22] into my var/www/html folder. [07:22] But everythime I try to create a new folder I get 'access denied'. [07:23] How can I enable it that it's always possible to create files and folders via FTP? [07:23] sgo11, You have /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab in the OS and the usb. [07:23] "Error -140: remote mkdir failed" [07:23] sgo11: so there's only one OS to choose from in the grub menu? [07:23] I guess I have to set 'somewhere' write access.. but I have not yet a clue where. [07:23] Beldar, yeah, I should have them. But I only use my USB system. never mount my PC partitions. [07:23] sgo11, And the grub boot menu in both mbr's [07:24] eeee, there are two OS in the grub menu. that's why I want to get rid of grub screen. it's useless when I choose boot from usb. [07:24] grub is not smart enouigh to know the difference [07:24] Beldar, there are two grubs. one is installed in PC. another one is installed in usb. [07:25] sgo11: try grub-install /dev/sdb [07:25] sgo11, Yeah, whay is that I never got your reasoniong [07:25] why* reasoning* [07:25] eeee, what will that do? [07:26] sgo11: reinstalled grub in the /dev/sdb [07:26] or you could try to remove the timeout in the other OS [07:26] sgo11: when grub loads, is the USB OS the first in the list? [07:26] sgo11: When the GRUB menu shows, do you see "Yisixue 13.11" or "Ubuntu" + "Ubuntu 高级选项" ? [07:27] eeee, there are two grubs. if I don't boot from usb, the PC OS is at the first entry because that is PC's grub. if I choose boot from usb, the USB OS is at the first entry, because that is USB grub. [07:27] sgo11: If you see "Yisixue 13.11" the PC is booting from GRUB on /dev/sda, if you see "Ubuntu" it is booting from the USB on /dev/sdb [07:27] TJ-, I am sure it's booting from /dev/sdb. [07:27] sgo11: So you see "Ubuntu" as the first menu entry? [07:27] TJ-, that's right. [07:28] sgo11: Good :) that avoids any confusion here. [07:28] TJ-, I never mount my PC OS during my USB OS running session. [07:28] PC partitions* [07:28] sgo11: I came in after you described the original problem; can you summarise the issue for me? [07:28] so, what should I do now? [07:29] TJ-, I try to setup grub timeout to be 0, basically, I don't want the grub screen shown. (the USB grub) [07:30] sgo11, The sda is booting using its grub files look at the /etc/default/grub leading to the grub.cfg on sda and sdb [07:30] sgo11: OK ... and I've seen you mention "8s" ... I assume you mean the count-down timer showing 8 seconds at the point the menu displays? [07:30] TJ-, yeah. I setup GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 AND GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub. it doesn't work. [07:31] anyone know about any issues with upstart on ubuntu 14.04? I have a file only with 'description', and when trying to run sudo service status, I get 'description: not found' [07:31] Beldar, what does that mean? sorry I don't get it. thanks. [07:31] sgo11: when you generated the BootInfo output, was the booted OS Ubuntu from the USB device? [07:32] TJ-, USB device. here, I never use PC OS. I never ever use PC OS. [07:32] TJ-, I only use USB OS. [07:32] sgo11, Your time out is 0 in the sdb grub.cfg but 10 in the sda grub.cfg you happen to have fixated on 8 it is a 10 second time out you are boot from the sda grub everything. [07:32] booting* [07:34] two identical grub setups including mbr's is a bit much for grub just running like that. [07:34] sgo11: OK. Here's what is happening. BIOS offers you a boot device to choose from, you choose USB *but* the HDD is listed first. When BIOS loads GRUB's MBR from /dev/sdb and GRUB asks the BIOS for the first disk id, which is supposed to be /dev/sdb, BIOS instead tells it the first disk is /dev/sda, so the GRUB MBR on /dev/sdb reads core.img and grub.cfg from /dev/sda [07:34] Beldar, do you mean if I uninstall PC OS, everything will be fine? I don't really get it. because I am using my USB grub. my USB grub at /dev/sdb will read my sda grub setup? [07:34] Beldar: This is a well known BIOS bug [07:34] TJ-, cool still it is just using the OS's grub is all. [07:34] sgo11: So, the 8 seconds you see is in fact the remainder of the 10 second timeout you have set on /dev/sda [07:35] Beldar: It is using both /dev/sdb and /dev/sda, due to the BIOS bug [07:35] TJ-, ok. got it. so what should I do to avoid this bug without changing anything in /dev/sda ? [07:35] TJ-, is that possible? thanks. [07:36] TJ-, So the sdb mbr is booting the sda grub. [07:36] sgo11: So, my suggestions are 2. First, try to change the permanent boot order in BIOS so the USB device is listed first - don't just select the USB device in the manual boot device chooser, and second, alter the timeout value on /dev/sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:36] sda1's grub that is [07:37] Beldar: precisely :) [07:37] TJ-, Beldar ok, got it. thanks. [07:37] I figured it was two grub instances, had not heard of the bug though [07:37] TJ-: if GRUB is reading the grub.cfg of /dev/sda, then wouldn't the list be off? [07:37] i mean, the naming at least [07:38] yeah, the list is different when I boot from different grubs. [07:38] Beldar: To be technical... when GRUB starts it had to rely on BIOS services. It asks the BIOS for the first hard disk which has code 0x80 ... that is supposed to be the disk that boot began on (/dev/sdb) *but* in these buggy BIOSes the BIOS still returns the first disk in the system as 0x80 so GRUB continues loading itself from /dev/sda's core.img and then grub.cfg [07:39] TJ-, Ah, that makes sense, heh and grub is so simple in general use. [07:39] eeee: No... this is the fun part. Once GRUB's core.img has loaded it uses its own disk access code modules and knows the correct device to read the grub.cfg from, by the UUID of the file-system [07:39] TJ-: yeah, but wouldn't the naming be off? [07:40] Menu entry bla bla [07:40] not the uuid getting mixed up [07:40] BIOS > MBR of boot disk > MBR asks which is the boot disk? MBR reads core.img from the boot disk, which initialises GRUB's disk access modules, which searches for the UUID of the GRUB root file-system and loads the menu [07:41] ok, well if it's loading /dev/sda's grub, wouldn't it use the menu entry's there? [07:44] eeee: Strangely, no, because if the way GRUB writes the core.img. The problem occurs in the early stages when the BIOS is returning the wrong drive info to GRUB. Because sgo11 has 2 almost identical installations its luck that it loads... otherwise we'd be dealing with a "grub rescue>" prompt [07:45] sgo11: Are you able, in BIOS, to completely remove the HHD from the boot order temporarily, as a test? Booting from USB then should result in GRUB correctly using the configuration from grub.cfg on on the USB as it is now [07:47] I wrote a diagnostic MBR for the syslinux project some years ago that exposes this bug. In that project we added a hot-key you can hold down if this happens, if the MBR detects that key-down, it ignores the BIOS and figures things out correctly [07:47] clever === rama is now known as Guest58592 [07:52] I suspect what has happened is, the sda install at some time did a save_env() of the timeout and so it's core.img reads that env and when the /dev/sdb1 grub.cfg is read and executed and does load_env() it is inheriting the sda value [08:00] whats up [08:13] hi, just started using tmux. Can I ask why are meta key bindings also use escape? For example I bound M-n to "create-window". It works when I press Alt-n which is intended, but also works when I do Escape-n which is really annoying [08:14] trung__: one to ask in the tmux support channel. Though I use CTRL B as the main command binding [08:15] join #tmux [08:16] M-n generates the sequence \en [08:18] hi [08:20] i am on ubuntu trusty on aws, running "ln -sv filename linkname" shows something like this in output - _jolokia_ -> _jolokia-jvm-1.2.2-agent.jar_ - notice the underscores around the filenames, i wonder where do they come from [08:20] noticed similar output when downloading files with "wget" === manuel_ is now known as Marvin_1 [08:22] greenmang0: can you put the output in pastebin [08:22] greenmang0: the translators for your language has probably translated the ` and ' from the english version, to those _ characters [08:22] greenmang0: try export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8; then do another ln -sv [08:24] If you feel those _ are wrong, you should report it as a bug against the coreutils package and/or try to contact the localization team for your language [08:30] geirha: export didn't help [08:32] somsip: http://paste.debian.net/114326/ [08:34] I see some strange listen on port behavior from apache2 with ipv6, for port 80 it seems to work as expected but for 443 its dropping a part of the address ? [08:34] http://pastebin.com/Qpduat53 [08:34] greenmang0: The "-" is, in Latin, the single-quote forward-tick [08:34] Hi there. Spell checker doesn't seem to be working on my ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. There's no read underline or something whenever i type wrong. [08:34] TJ-: it's an underscore that I am getting [08:35] I forgot to mention. It's in Libre Office. [08:35] did i make a config mistake ?, i did the ipv6 :443 conf the same as the ipv6 :80 conf which seems to work as i would expect [08:36] greenmang0: I know, the codes are different. If you do "ln -sv jolokia-jvm-1.2.2-agent.jar jolokia | hexdump -C" do you get see the same codes as these: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7987013/ [08:37] legend: what locale are you using [08:37] greenmang0: notice how for my output the UTF-8 code is "e2 80 98" [08:37] hi all [08:38] greenmang0: that was for the opening single-quote mark. The closing single quote mark has code "e2 80 99" [08:39] legend: for spellcheck to work, make sure you have the hunspell packages for your locale installed [08:40] greenmang0: And if I do "LC_ALL=C ln -sv jolokia-jvm-1.2.2-agent.jar jolokia" the output uses the ASCII single-quote character: 'jolokia' -> 'jolokia-jvm-1.2.2-agent.jar' [08:40] hateball, how to check it ? I think it's English(India) under Tool > Language > For Selection in Libreoffice [08:41] TJ-: i am getting the exact same output with hexdump as yours, and yes, LC_ALL=C worked just like you stated [08:43] legend: It doesnt seem like there are any hunspell packages for en-in [08:43] hateball, It's still not working after installing hunspell packages [08:45] I'm trying to build a stable version of apache in Ubuntu, which most stable of apache in Ubuntu? Any suggest? [08:45] legend: If you change the document language to en-Us ? [08:45] hateball, After changing to en-US it's still not working. [08:46] legend: hmmm [08:48] hateball, Right now. I am chatting with you in Xchat. And in this xchat application Spell check is working fine. Does Libre Office uses a separate dictionary ? [08:48] legend: I don't know what xchat uses actually [08:49] legend: if you install the package myspell-en-gb, does that change anything? [08:49] A restart of LO is needed of course [08:50] greenmang0: so, your native language character-set is interpreting the UTF codes as underscores instead of open and closing quotes that are in the English UTF-8 character sets [08:51] hateball, i am showing you a log when i installed hunspell package from terminal. I hope you find something interesting here. Link:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/7987111/ [08:51] I will try that package you mentioned.

[09:40] almost makes me wantto install warty for a laugh [09:50] darksider: does it work with acpi off tho? [09:50] Kira9204: yes, it works fine [09:54] Hey I'm using the remote desktop sharing (vino) feature on 14.04 - when I VNC to it, it doesn't refresh - but mouse movements/keyboard works and such - any ideas? [09:55] my res is 5760x1080 which could have something to do with it? (3 x 1080p screens horizontally) [09:56] darksider: then it would seem that there is no acpi support for your system in qestion. But since its an atom should`t it have like a 10w power consumpyion? [09:57] Kira9204: could be, however, before ubuntu I had a gentoo and it worked fine [10:00] Kira9204, yeah most of those atom boards are about 10w [10:00] it could be even less than 10W, its an embedded system [10:01] darksider, i have an intel atom board 32bit only and its never been good with a gui [10:01] Kira9204: im installing the system now, ran into a problem [10:02] ok [10:02] cynicallemon: its a server installation, so no GUI, I use it as a Plex media server [10:02] well, i would not make a big deal out of it [10:02] is it normal to get an older package from the software center EVEN IF you use the drop-down to specify a newer package (I am getting Conky 1.8.1 even when I select 1.9.0 from the dropdown) [10:03] darksider, cool, my atom is a server too and a pretty stable one too [10:03] Hi guys, I have a postfix server that can send but not receive, emails sent to it get returned to sender with "Recipient not found", can anyone help? [10:04] I have two external drives i need to mount at boot time, an usb HDD and a network drive. I modified fstab and all works well doing mount -a.

Which conf file should I edit? [10:07] glcheetham: /etc/postfix/main.cf is the main config for postfix. more elp in #postfix and on postfix.org in the documentation [10:08] ok cheers guys on it now will report back [10:08] glcheetham, did you look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix when setting it up? [10:08] Kira9204: any ideas? Could it be that the modules are not loaded? [10:08] darksider: im guessing that its trying to mout the drive before the USB drivers are active [10:08] darksider: you could try to have a timeout? [10:09] or add it to rc.local? [10:10] i have several sshfs drives for my server but i always ends up mounting them after the system has booted [10:10] so im somewhat in the same boat [10:11] Kira9204, yeah USB drives are slow to react at boot, best to mount them just after boot [10:11] Kira9204: i changed raiserfs to auto in fstab and it worked [10:11] sometimes cp, rsync or btrfs send slow down the system considerably, if the files are being written to a slow disk ... why is that and what can be done about it? [10:12] Kira9204: i can't mount them later as i have daemons that load at boot time which rely on data on the USB disk [10:13] Kira9204, like which ones? [10:13] Kira9204: the system is installed on a 4GB compactflash so I keep it only for the system, not user data [10:13] Apart from buying a faster disk? :) ionice might help [10:13] hi guys, brand new ubuntu user, how do i upgrade from 9.1 that I am now on to newer versions?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [10:14] ElMaestro, cleanest and easiest method is to download the ISO, make a boot USB and install [10:14] agreed [10:14] and back your data up [10:14] this ^^ 2 [10:15] does the new installation mean i loose all my settings esp, wired network config [10:15] ElMaestro, they should reconfigure automatically with the new installation but note your settings in case you must do some manual work [10:16] is it possible to upgrade it online? [10:17] ElMaestro: see the last link from ubottu. On a side note, there is no 9.1 version, you probably have 9.10 [10:18] stevenm: xrdp, but it can still have problems with unity 3D, so i recommend that you use gnome session fallback [10:18] (which means it was released in year 2009, month 10) [10:18] stevenm: http://askubuntu.com/a/260274 [10:18] ElMaestro, you'd need to upgrade to 10.04 > 12.04 /// [10:18] I'm running php and apache and trying to create a directory on a mounted drive using mkdir in php.

[10:19] stevenm: flashback? [10:19] ElMaestro, then don't. just because 9.10 has NO support or security updates ... [10:20] ElMaestro, one other option [10:20] Kira9204, yeah 14.04 doesn't come with fallback - but you can install flashback [10:20] ElMaestro, download the 10.04 alternative install disk. set that ISO as software source. upgrade. then do it again for 12.04 [10:22] stevenm: i was actually not aware, but then yes, flasshback and use metacity [10:22] cool it's working :) [10:23] nice :D [10:24] ElMaestro, i would just get the latest iso like mention and back data up and reconfigure the network - might be easier === boy_wanders is now known as Guest42378 [10:26] mybit: php runs at its own user [10:26] *as [10:27] Is it even possible to use unity with metacity?

[10:34] ElMaestro, in 9.10??"? can't. no longer supported [10:34] greenmang0: If so, the real fix is to switch to a monospaced font that does have those symbols [10:34] ElMaestro: that, or via software center [10:35] for a more user friendly approach [10:35] geirha: i am on mac, using default font - monaco - which is monospaced, not sure if i can use gnome-term or uxterm on mac [10:35] is there anything wrong with running live ubuntu off a usb drive regularly? [10:35] greenmang0: you can change the font [10:36] anton02, not wrong - just inefficient [10:36] cfhowlett: why inefficient? [10:36] w8,, iw ElMaestro using 9.10?? [10:36] "couldnt find package hardinfo" [10:36] i can't get bluetooth to work in 14.04 LTS can anyone help pls? thx [10:36] anton02, no problem at all [10:36] fricking firefox keeps crashing :-( [10:36] it used to work in ubuntu 12 though -- is it broken now? [10:37] ElMaestro, and you won't . the 9.10 repos are no more. 9.10 is unsupported. [10:37] ElMaestro: what version are you on? [10:37] anton02, usb drive is slower than a spinning hard drive or SSD [10:37] now i get it, that y u r saying i first upgrade to 10.04 [10:38] ElMaestro, note: 10.04 is also end of life. 12.04 is still active [10:38] 9.10 [10:38] hardinfo is present in 10.04, altho oäim not sure if the repository is still avaiöable [10:38] geirha: switched to Ubuntu Mono, didn't help [10:38] Hi again, I still can't figure out why my mail server will send but not receieve, ubuntu 14.04/postfix/dovecot [10:38] cynicallemon: well how do i load OS into RAM? [10:38] ElMaestro, forget upgrading if your 9.10 install is two days old, just go and install 14.04 [10:39] ElMaestro: you should really consider upgrading to 14.04 [10:39] I can however send mail to addresses on the same domain as the server [10:39] Kira9204, yeah you get that after you install it [10:40] Its what I want to do, but am scared of having to loose my ethernet network config, its taken me 2 days just to get static IPs functional [10:40] ElMaestro: you mean lose [10:40] greenmang0: Hm. Very odd. [10:40] yes, lose [10:41] ElMaestro, static ips are reasonably easy to set up and you will leave yourself open to security vulns by not upgrading [10:41] an example of a setence with 'loose': i have loose shoe laces [10:41] Hi everyone am using ubuntu 12.04 and it keeps on freezing frequently, can anyone help me out in finding the problem please? [10:41] mishravikas: what graphics drivers are you using, if any? What card do you have? [10:42] had tried following a tutorial which ended up "ifupdown(eth0) device not managed" on sys tray [10:43] ElMaestro: install 14.04, then come back here for instructions on static ips or whatever else you want to do [10:43] but how will I access internet when I will not know how to configure network connections? [10:44] ElMaestro: Ubuntu 14.04 has gui tools [10:44] ElMaestro, network manager [10:44] it should work with a dynamic ip [10:44] ElMaestro, as I suggested to you previously: note your current settings [10:45] am upgrading to 10.04 first as cfhwolett suggested === tvoss is now known as tvoss|errands [10:45] ElMaestro: A fresh install is a better idea.

[10:46] hehe np [10:46] mishravikas: no, could you send it again? [10:46] glcheetham: It shows "AMD Radeon HD 8600M Series " under graphics tab in system details [10:47] ElMaestro: didn't you say you just installed? 2 days ago? [10:47] mishravikas: and have you installed graphics card drivers yet? [10:47] yes, and just got the network config this morning!! [10:48] ElMaestro: then don't bother with upgrading. install 14.04 [10:48] greenmang0: may be the terminal emulator and the shell on ubuntu are using different encodings [10:48] my 9.10 is side by side with windows 7, is this a factor? [10:49] no [10:49] glcheetham: under additional drivers I can see this https://i.imgur.com/hCPAwXM.png does it mean I have the drivers? [10:50] !dualboot| ElMaestro [10:50] ElMaestro: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:51] mishravikas: yes that means you have the drivers, but you are using the experimental ones. Can you remove them and try installing one that isn't experimental? If not, jsut install the one you have now again and we'll try to see if something else is making your system lag [10:51] ElMaestro, you can chose what partition ubuntu gets installed onto or have a side by side install with another OS [10:51] glcheetham: how do I remove this one and install the one which is not experimental? [10:52] mishravikas: click remove and install it again [10:53] glcheetham: ok am on it [10:53] hiii [10:53] glcheetham, with your postfix problem, have you opened a port on your firewall to accept smtp traffic? [10:53] ElMaestro, at the partitioning stage: take your time, read carefully and manually configure the installation. most importantly, select your current 9.10 partition as the target for your 10.04 OS [10:53] does anyone know how to enable root login thru SSH in ubuntu 14? [10:54] yes, , thats what i will do [10:54] darksider, dont allow root login [10:54] darksider: set up host based authentication [10:55] while installing this? what do i set as mount points for my current Win7 partition? [10:55] ElMaestro, WHOA! [10:55] ElMaestro, DONT touch those [10:55] ElMaestro, do NOT TOUCH that windows stuff. don't mount, don't look at ti [10:55] glcheetham: I remove it and now I have option to activate it, but how do I install a new driver and not just activate this one? === kaitanya is now known as caitanya [10:56] cynicallemon: Yeah my router has all the ports I need open [10:56] ElMaestro, I explicitly told you: 9.10 ubuntu partition is the target for 10.04 ubuntu partition [10:56] cynicallemon: the computer is not accessible from outside the LAN [10:56] hi all, on my private network I get different fingerprints for my SSH server. Any clues? [10:56] so no real risk [10:57] ok, got it [10:57] mishravikas_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [10:58] do you guys know how to mount drives on first access in fstab? [10:58] i get errors mounting them at boot time [10:58] but no problem doing it after login [10:59] the iso has finished installing, do i have to burn to CD or can i mount it virtually or something? [10:59] cfhowlett: why are you suggesting 10.04? that is no longer supported either [10:59] Ben64, I know, trying to get him to 12.04 from 9.10 [11:00] why not just install 14.04 and be good until 2019 [11:00] ElMaestro, the image file is the software source. use the link I sent you earlier [11:00] Ben64, cuz he's scared to lose his network ... and he likes pain. We did suggest it, but ... [11:01] this isn't going to end well [11:01] Ben64, it might but the odds are against it [11:02] its a fresh 9.10 install. trash that and install 14.04 for best results. static ip is not required for accessing just about any internet [11:02] plus that is easily configurable using graphical tools after installation [11:02] Ben64, ElMaestro note the above. your choice. === BlackCobra1973 is now known as BlackCobra [11:03] 10.04 > 12.04 > 14.04 - 3x more trouble and ways to fail === randyjc is now known as RandyJC [11:04] ElMaestro: get 14.04 and come back [11:05] you have the network manager during the installation just as you have now [11:05] note your setting, and them replicate them [11:06] in my private network, Cyberduck gives a fingerprint ending in :63 over SFTP, while both normal SSH and running "ssh-keygen -lf" give back a fingerprint ending in :66 [11:06] also no guarantee that settings in 9.10 will make it to 14.04 ok [11:06] i always do clean installt [11:07] *installs [11:08] * cfhowlett thinks this will be a valuable learning experience [11:18] does anyone know how to fix bluetooth in ubuntu 14.04?

[11:29] gewoonm I know how to use SSH but not sure i'd be called an "expert" what issue are you having? [11:30] Dickens: just set he connection to shared and whola, cobnectint computers will get ips autimatically [11:30] Kira9204: Do you know how many are in it's DHCP pool? [11:30] hi Dickens, thanks for thinking with me! The problem is I get different fingerprints from my Ubuntu server [11:30] your ubuntu server has fingers? [11:30] o_O [11:30] with Cyberduck it ends in :63, with SSH-command in terminal it ends in :66 [11:31] or better yet, how do I set a home directory for a user and make sure they cannot "go back" ? [11:31] Dickens :) SSH-fingerprints [11:31] i know sorry just kidding, i'm thinking [11:31] Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to install the i386 version of libraries on my amd64 system? Here's what happens when I try: http://pastebin.com/iw08UFv4 [11:31] Dickens: not im my head, but if you connect one computer and take the subnetmask you can easily calculate it [11:32] ubuntu 14.04 [11:32] gewoonm, I am inclined to believe that the SSH Fingerprint is client specific and not machine specific but i cant be positive [11:32] Dickens: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/ [11:32] thanks kira9204 [11:32] I will take a look [11:32] my question is about the unity desktop which is suspended, while another one is active on-screen: is it a config default to make all nonactive unity desktops have their apps be unable to run? is there a way to reconfig to have them run normally, even though their windows can't appear on screen until the desktop is reactivated? [11:32] gewoonm: what is the problem? [11:33] Dickens, I thought the fingerprints are to identify the server, so they should be server-specific [11:33] juul: The problem is I get different fingerprints from my Ubuntu server when connecting with different applications [11:33] gewoonm, I believe it's both [11:33] juul: with Cyberduck it ends in :63, with SSH-command in terminal it ends in :66 [11:34] genial: SSH keys are user specific [11:34] ah [11:34] perhaps cyberduck is running as a different user? [11:35] i dunno.. shot in the dark [11:35] gewoonm, does it prevent you from connecting somehow? [11:35] Dickens: you cab always look with htop [11:35] Dickens: I'd like to know first if it's a problem [11:35] basically a terminal task manager [11:36] yea you can... or rather gewoonm can [11:36] Dickens: before continuing [11:36] maybe I best rephrase: is it a unity config default to make all nonactive desktops' apps be unable to run? is there a way to reconfig to have them run normally, even though their windows can't appear on screen atm? === Toast__ is now known as Toast [11:36] ummm i dont see how it would be a problem gewoonm [11:36] gewoonm: this can happen if one program decides to use one type of encryption and the other uses another type [11:36] it's really just an ID [11:36] gewoonm: the server generally has several keys, e.g. one DSA key, one RSA key and one ECDSA key [11:37] I'm looking to chmod +i a currently mounted directory, but using mount --bind doesn't work [11:37] doesnt mean anything unless you are specifically looking to allow only certain fingerprints [11:37] Dickens: yeah, but when connecting remotely, I want to make sure I connect to my own machine, not with MITM (maybe bing paranoid here) [11:37] juul: I tried "for k in /etc/ssh/ssh_host*.pub; do ssh-keygen -lf "$k"; done" none list the appropriate fingerprint [11:37] pretty paranoid it sounds lol... [11:37] yeah, having a different fingerprint from what you expect is very concerning [11:38] Dickens, Kira9204: what was that about htop? [11:38] to see if a program is running as a different user gewoonm [11:38] perhaps cyberduck has it's own local user or something [11:38] gewoonm: none match cyberduck or none match ssh command's fingerprint? [11:39] i think the fingerprint you'rew seeing is the client end and not server end [11:39] juul: one of them (the RSA one) is matching the ssh-terminal-command fingerprint. Cyberduck doesn't match with any [11:39] i.e. cyberduck's fingerprint (or whatever user it's running as), but I could be wrong [11:39] thats cuz it has it's own [11:39] gewoonm: you can use it to watch wich user owns what process [11:40] Kira9204, Dickens: I checked, I'm the owner of all processes [11:41] gewoonm: it could simply be that cyberduck uses sha-1 while ssh uses md5 [11:41] gewoonm: or the other way around [11:41] also perhaps cyberduck isnt using the same encryption [11:41] you could set your server to only allow RSA fingerprints or something [11:41] so you cant connect any other way [11:41] gewoonm: for the fingerprinting [11:42] juul, Dickens: how do I find out the sha-1 or md5 version of the fingerprint? [11:42] when one runs a terminal emulator window with multiple shells/tabs, it would be considered abnormal if only the shell processes for the tab currently on-screen were allowed to run... yes? it appears that unity desktops behave abnormally, in that sense [11:43] am I making sense? [11:44] gewoonm, i think if it's a 32byte key it's standard md5 [11:44] geirha: nope, it shows up as a question mark [11:44] gewoonm: sha1sum and md5sum [11:44] if it's 40bytes it's SHA1 [11:45] could be wrong tho [11:45] greenmang0: then you have a mismatch between the terminal emulator's (iterm2) encoding and the shell's [11:45] juul: but what should I checksum? The id_rsa key? [11:45] greenmang0: make sure iterm2 uses utf8 [11:45] geirha: iterm's encoding is set to UTF8 [11:46] gewoonm: /etc/ssh/ssh_host* on the server [11:46] how do I check shell's encoding? [11:46] the pub keys [11:46] run locale [11:46] juul: they both give different answers, but nothing "familiar", nothing that looks like a fingerprint [11:47] i'm looking stuff up [11:47] gewoonm: they won't include the colon separators but otherwise they should be the same [11:47] geirha: locale on trusty host - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7988181/ === tvoss|errands is now known as tvoss [11:48] gewoonm can you share the keys for each client for me? [11:48] as well as the server key [11:49] I must be speaking Greek, without knowing it [11:49] there's a SHA1 to MD5 converter and vice versa and I'm curious to see if they translate to the same [11:49] gewoonm: nevermind, i'm wrong [11:49] adminewb, we're helping other ppl please hold [11:49] k === Hyperbyt1 is now known as Hyperbyte [11:50] adminewb, not sure what your question is? [11:50] gewoonm: but is the cyberduck fingerprint 32 or 40 bytes? [11:50] are you saying you can only run a program when the terminal is open? [11:50] Dickens, that may be because I'm misinterpreting what's happening [11:51] possibly i dunno [11:51] cant really understand the question lol [11:51] greenmang0: And there's nothing else involved inbetween? like tmux or screen? [11:51] to appearances though, it seems that unity will allow only processes from the desktop on screen to run [11:51] desktops on other virtual graphical terminals behave like they're in suspended animation [11:51] i dont think that is true [11:52] ok [11:52] perhaps it's not drawing the changes? [11:52] like i can download torrent sin the background while IRCing [11:52] and i have firefox running in background too and it still gets my emails [11:52] so i can see it's actually doing something [11:52] well I have multiple unity desktops going at once, different logins [11:53] ah so you're running each process as a different user? [11:53] greenmang0: Oh and if you open a new iterm and run locale, does your OSX system also have utf-8 set? [11:53] geirha: oh, yeah, tmux [11:53] juul, Dickens: I can share the fingerprints with no issues, right? [11:53] each desktop is a different user [11:53] gewoonm what do you mean? [11:53] gewoonm you can paste it here without issue... sure [11:53] or rather pastebin [11:53] we cant use your keys since they are randomly generated [11:54] one desktop is primarily to run a wine/win32 app on a wine virtual desktop which takes up full screen [11:54] geirha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7988217/ [11:54] juul, Dickens: check: serverkey is: c7:af:49:ef:f7:9e:a7:64:75:fd:39:dd:17:50:cd:66 Cyberduck claims it is: 61:10:f2:34:c5:7b:ea:34:7e:a7:a0:44:a4:c9:68:63 [11:54] adminewb i've never done that before so I dont know, but I think it should be able to run [11:54] ok Dickens [11:54] gewoonm i'll check [11:54] it may be some quirk of how a certain wine app behaves while it's on an off-screen unity desktop [11:55] juul, Dickens: since I use passwordless login, I also checked if maybe Cyberduck reports the fingerprint of my own RSA-key, but no. That has a completely different fingerprint. [11:55] greenmang0: LC_CTYPE=C that might cause some conflict [11:56] thanks for the info [11:56] how to pass argument to nmap ? [11:56] question: I have a service running at startup, i used: update-rc.d -f plexmediaserver remove, but it still tries to start it [11:56] any ideas? [11:57] how to pass argument to nmap ? through shell script [11:58] gewoonm: I think it is likely that cyberduck is miscalculating [11:59] juul: that's weird [12:00] gewoonm, check out https://forums.vandyke.com/showthread.php?t=10773 [12:01] it's a script that will output sha1 and md5 of the ssh_host_rsa_key.pub [12:01] gewoonm: are you connecting from the same computer? [12:01] seems really simple to copy and paste in to gedit or whatever editor you want and run it [12:01] just a shell script [12:01] geirha: what should I set it to? en_US.UTF-8 ? [12:02] juul he is [12:02] i just realized my sha1 to md5 caluclator doesnt really work the way i thought [12:02] gewoonm: with the two pieces of software? and if not, are the two pieces of software using the same internet connection? could one be using IPv4 and another IPv6? if so, could the DNS entries for IPv4 and IPv6 be different for the server? what if you enter the IPv4 address instead of the hostname when connceting? [12:03] it can only take a string in plaintext and convert it to those [12:03] greenmang0: Yes, all of them should be that in my opinion (apart from LC_ALL) [12:03] juul: he's using the same machine and same user account [12:03] geirha: what should be the value for LC_ALL? [12:03] juul, just different clients on the same machine [12:04] still, one client may not support ipv6 and the other may prefer it [12:04] juul, Dickens: I tried the shell script, still no matching strings [12:05] greenmang0: It should be unset [12:05] strange [12:05] okay [12:05] i'm at a loss then lol [12:05] i doint really know much about the keys i must admit [12:05] juul: I'm on a local network, entering a 'normal' ip-address [12:05] juul: where normal is ipv4 [12:05] i always thought the keys were either machine specific or user specific, so I dont think each client has a different one but perhaps [12:05] greenmang0: You may occationally want to use LC_ALL to force all values to the same locale temporarily, but it should not be set by default. Just setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 should suffice. [12:06] gewoonm: ok, my bet is on cyberduck mis-implementing the fingerprint calculation. i would open a bug with them [12:06] gewoonm, if the server key is always the same then you'll know if they are connecting to the right server [12:06] geirha: the problem i see is only on that particular system, on other systems things are fine [12:07] perhaps create a script that displays the server fingerprint when you login [12:08] greenmang0: possibly it's the only system where such commands are localized [12:08] juul, Dickens: thanks. I'll file a bug report [12:08] geirha: hmm [12:09] geirha: is there any such change in trusty you know of? [12:09] Dickens: from a paranoid standpoint, that wouldn't work.

[15:37] any more problems anyones having with ubuntu. [15:38] in 13.04 LTS I want my global menu bar to be always visible. any how to for this?

[15:40] cfhowlett: in the known working machine or the crashing machine? both of them boot just fine. the crashing machine doesn't crash except after ~12 hours or more [15:40] rihbyne: Also, in 14.04 you can set menus to be displayed in the window's title bar instead of in the global menu bar. [15:40] ses1984, test the crash machine. [15:41] i tried to install memcached (without knowing anything about it) using apt-get install memcached - well, the install froze, and now it forces me to use dpkg reconfigure -a everytime i try to purge memcached [15:41] well, booting is no problem. but that rule out the motherboard being bad. it's just OK enough to boot, possibly not OK enough to have a stable system [15:41] and fails again. what do i do? [15:41] ses1984: i suggest you capture the kernel log after the crash and post it where someone can view it [15:41] i just want memcached removed and all remains of it [15:42] ses1984: it could be driver crash, software crash or hardware - until somehow reviews the logs, there's no way to read the systems brain [15:43] badbugz: i'm not asking for help to figure out what's wrong with crashing machine. i'm just trying to figure out how to boot the known working machine...which i think should be booting but for some reason i'm getting just a cursor. i'm fixing grub now and about to reboot to see what happens [15:43] hey_joe_: apt-get remove --purge memcached [15:43] hey_joe_: apt-get remove --purge -y memcached [15:43] badbugz: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[15:47] nothing [15:47] just cursor [15:47] cycle [15:47] ctrl+alt+f1...f6 [15:47] i think the issue might be the the crashing computer was efi and the known working one is not [15:48] does your bios offer 'efi disable'/ [15:48] ? [15:48] efi is a piece of crap [15:48] not the known working one. it's definitely non efi [15:48] the known working one has no efi anything on it [15:49] EFI is fine [15:49] !uefi [15:49] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

[15:55] for example i wrote application and done mistake and application consume memory very fast. [15:57] so you want to control swapping, just when your system needs it too? that sounds like fun. [15:57] idoocheng: there should be a network-manager icon in the top-right, possibly to the left of the date/time. [15:57] I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 Beta.

[15:59] idoocheng: we might need information specific to the card you are using, or generally more details. [16:00] loa: see "ulimit -Sv ..." [16:00] SchrodingersScat: how i can check my card type [16:01] hello ubuntians! I'm getting an update notice that says 'new hardware support is available'..it is the first time I get an update like this. could you please help me know what it is for? [16:02] I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit desktop edition on a new box with two hard drives in a RAID-1 configuration. I googled around for some documentation on the process, but I'm not sure I found the best one. [16:02] nopunditry, probably an update to a hardware driver. [16:02] idoocheng: I think for internal card you could check 'lspci' === Guest24073 is now known as MobGod [16:03] I've used the mdadm tools a lot, I like software raid. [16:03] cfhowlett, thank you :) [16:04] wad: To make it easier to configure the RAID-1 mirror, you might find it easier to use the -server ISO to install the base system, then once it is installed, simply do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to add all the desktop packages. The server installer can handle MD RAID, although you may have to use its "drop to shell" option to create the array correctly, before continuing with the Partitioning step [16:04] TJ: great advice, thanks! [16:05] TJ-, is there an option to encrypt the drives as well? [16:05] wad: That way, at the shell you can do "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --metadata=1.0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb" or whatever you need [16:05] * wad nods [16:05] * wad grabs this text and puts it in his notes [16:06] wad: Apply encryption on top of the mirror? I can't remember if the -server installer supports that... but again, you can do that from the shell [16:06] Okay. [16:06] * wad starts downloading the server iso [16:07] wad: "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md0 ..." then "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 cryptdev ..." or whatever - you might want to encrypt per file-system rather than whole disk of course [16:08] * wad puts that in his notes too [16:08] where is the local theme / icon directory in ubuntu ? [16:08] Yeah, just the filesystem on the partition. [16:08] where do I get ubuntu server 32 bit? [16:08] I want to automatically make a weekly/daily backup of my full home to an other HD on the network. What is the best way to do this, I shut down my pc at night, and if the backup starts while my home is in use I'll end up with a corrupted backup right? [16:08] SchrodingersScat: that shows so many lines which is the card info? [16:09] shabius: try looking in .local/share [16:09] wad: I have /boot/ file-system encrypted separately (supported by GRUB with GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y) [16:09] idoocheng: does one say wireless? [16:09] So the crypt stuff happens after the creation of the RAID-1, after the creation of the filesystem, and before the installation of the OS? [16:09] also I have the current problem that my system gets easily jammed (cursor doesn't move, page loads freeze, can't move between open programs). this happens with 'not that many' programs or tabs open (3-4 programs and 5-6 tabs in browser) whereas the system used to work fine during more than double as much activity. how can I check whether this is due to part or all of my hardware failing, or a background program (that compromised my system) running that [16:09] burdens the system? [16:11] wad errr, If you're making a bootable MD mirror, then its mdadm --create, {f,g}disk /dev/md0, then cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md0p?, then cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0p? crypt?, then mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/crypt? ... that make sense?! [16:12] Ah, okay. So the crypt stuff is before the mkfs. [16:12] wad: you may need "kpartx -a /dev/md0" after the partitioning step if the kernel's PTs aren't updated [16:12] SchrodingersScat: no wireless, but i find Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [16:13] !broadcom | idoocheng, I should have guessed, another victim of their campaign against freedom [16:13] idoocheng, I should have guessed, another victim of their campaign against freedom: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:13] wad: Yes. cryptsetup will create a device-mapper node /dev/mapper/ which is the file-system container [16:13] Hi does ubuntu 14 differ from linux mint 17 with regards to supported devices, in particular an older USB modem cmotech D-50, does anyone have any experience with this? [16:13] SchrodingersScat: thanks! [16:14] Hi - can someone help me how to speed up ubuntu 10.04 [16:14] !10.04 | sudheer [16:14] sudheer: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.

[16:16] ubottu: - Its 14.04 [16:16] SchrodingersScat, nope, not touching any of that Google crap. Firefox :) [16:16] reed, "best"? the one that you use and prefer. no way to measure. install and test your options [16:16] sudheer: that depends on your system, what are the specs and what exactly is slow? [16:16] sorry for the long question. shortly, I have a system that often jams lately at low level of workload. hard disk is shown healthy. how can I check other key hardware parts that might cause the problem, or else whether the system is compromised (a background activity causing an overload)? [16:17] cfhowlett, indeed, I should have said 'popular' :) [16:17] cfhowlett, I'm assuming that like email clients they all suck, might as well use one that many others use :) [16:17] reed, see the ubuntu software center and compare the ratings ...

I hear a lot of hard disk thrashing. Even the keyboard response is slow. [16:37] TJ-, okay, so once I get luks installed and set up, will I need to enter the passphrase on every boot? [16:37] It is getting ridiculous ...sounds now like a window OS. [16:38] cpined, run htop from a terminal, what do you see? [16:38] cpined, you can also see hard disk activity with iotop [16:38] I only have top installed. [16:39] Is it possible to make launcher to auto hide? If I have more space it will help for eclipse layout [16:39] sudo apt-get install htop iotop [16:39] quit [16:39] htop will tell you if you are into swap. [16:39] sfn, Left panel should be auto hiding are you fully upgraded? [16:40] wad: Yes, or you can add a key-file to one of the LUKS slots, and configure /etc/crypttab to run a script to find and mount a (removable) device with the key-file on, or you can install dropbear (ssh server) into the initrd and have SSH from a controlling system send the key-file/pass-phrase [16:40] If I make update ,will it enough? [16:41] sfn, No exact answer since it should be working, always be updated. [16:41] @Beldar, thanks I will try [16:41] hello [16:42] wad, what do I look for with htop? [16:42] TJ-, thanks. Yeah, what I actually want is to be prompted for a passphrase on boot. [16:42] Ok, so I've finally grabbed the error messages on boot. First "Restore Sound Card State --> [Fail]" Then "drm:r600_dma_ring_test --> Radeon Ring 3 test failed" then "drm:s1_resume --> s1 startup failed on resume [0xFFFFFF]" Then the install splash pulls up, and it crashes.

[17:09] did someone here ever setup an encrypted raid5 with lvm? this is driving me crazy. i have 3 SSDs and want to have a "big" raid 5 with encryption, and prefer lvm (so i have to enter the password only once etc. instead of swap and / ). so i created 2x raid5, one for /boot with ext3 and one for a big encrypted lvm, inside that lvm i have swap and / [17:09] but the last step of the installer is saying that it was not able to install grub [17:09] What's a good linux based usb creator, I used Linux Live Usb on windows to create the one that gives me the radeon error. [17:09] this is now the 6th or 7th install :/ [17:09] inthedryer, unetbootin [17:10] wolfspy, You need a app that will get you to the first gui the nomodeset link shows, there are a handful out there look at pendrivelinux === s0meone is now known as someone [17:11] wolfspy, You would need a dvd, burn as an image.

[17:15] now the problem is that my environment variables won't get loaded when I open a new terminal, because it's not a login shell. Is it possible for these environment variables to be loaded only once (when I actually log in?) [17:15] does anyone know how to mount a freebsd slice under linux? I can mount the entire ufs parition but I cant view individual slices. [17:15] I already tried to source .bash_profile in my .profile.

[17:23] can somebody explain me, if i have 8gb ram and i don't consume many ram, i need swap or not? [17:23] you never NEED swap [17:23] but it can't hurt [17:23] loa, ram is used as needed. [17:23] unless you're low on hdd space [17:23] sometimes i run out of memory and my system hangs [17:23] loa, make a awap [17:23] becouse of swap proccess. [17:23] If you run out of RAM, then you are using a lot of ram. [17:24] so i can switch of swap safely? [17:24] off [17:24] !swap | loa look at swappiness [17:24] loa look at swappiness: 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 [17:24] * furryduck [17:25] hello everyone, I have a 64 bit device with 2gb ram. the ram is however shown as 1,9GB in system settings. so I am confused which one to refer to. should I install 64 bit ubuntu, or 32 bit one, because the latter is recommended for machines with <2gb ram? [17:26] either one will work, however the 64-bit version may be better. [17:26] do you know what architecture your cpu is? [17:26] furryduck, where can I see it? I guess it's amd [17:26] vocoy, It is standard to see the ram that, you have 2 gigs basically. [17:26] way* === gnu is now known as Guest84792 [17:27] are you running windows right now, or linux? [17:27] furryduck, I'm running ubuntu 12.04.4. [17:27] you can upgrade without reinstalling [17:28] loa, Do you understand swappiness? [17:28] but you can get your architecture with "uname -p" [17:28] furryduck, I had a long while ago the experience that upgrade could go messy :)..which was when I also somewhere heard that 'clean install' would be better [17:29] I like to clean-install every few versions. [17:29] Beldar, yeah, but i think when i will run into oom it will be ignored. [17:29] i think i will just switch off swap. [17:29] and buy another 8gb [17:29] Is .gnomerc still the right file to configure gdm? [17:29] loa, not a good idea what is oom? [17:30] I can see my mobile broadband adapter as wwan0 (ifconfig) but not under "Network" in Gnome [17:30] Beldar, out of memory sityuation. [17:30] I can see and use the modem just fine in my alternate debian-installation [17:30] furryduck, and I also do this install (actually reinstall) for I have strange problems with system performance (it gets stuck often lately at low level of activity)..I thought a clean install might help better than upgrade to solve that? [17:31] loa, use a lower swappiness it will swap later try that first, turning the swap off is a lat resort and may make things only worse. [17:31] yes, that's the nice thing about free OSs. If it gets slow, just wipe and reinstall. [17:31] last* [17:31] works every time xD [17:31] Beldar, i will try. [17:31] as a backup of course [17:31] ususally it's best to solve the problem. [17:32] Beldar, yeah i remember that every time is switch swap in a short time i switch off it back. lol [17:32] you could also try upgrading, and if it fails, or has problems, then reinstall. [17:32] loa, bad technique. [17:32] Beldar, switch on * [17:33] furryduck, yet I tried to find out why, and don't know how to do it. my hard disk works fine, the system says. I don't know where else to look. I also thought if the system is compromised by malware etc..but dont know how to check that. could that be possible? [17:33] technically yes, but I highly doubt it. [17:33] loa, get a SSD you will not even notice any swapping. Set the swappiness lower and use the computer so it is not swapping so much there are limitations to any computer. [17:33] A windows virus/ malware cannot run on ubuntu [17:34] and most viruses are written for windows. [17:34] don't think of anything else that causes freezes with 4 programs, 5-6 tabs [17:34] Beldar, swap is not recommend to hold on ssd [17:34] loa, That is old school, modern SSD's have the same life as a spinning one. [17:34] When I have a problem, I find the best place to start is by running "dmesg". [17:35] That will show the system log. [17:35] Beldar, can you give me example of modern? [17:36] loa, it's all on the web do the research, get one that is been released within the last couple of years. [17:36] ok [17:37] I've had pretty bad experiences with Samsung 840 series ssds. [17:37] They always seem to fail in RAID [17:37] software raid? [17:37] yep [17:37] and hardware [17:37] Guys I have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04, avery time that I reboot the system, some configuration are reset. [17:38] I tried both [17:38] strange. [17:38] I usually prefer to use software though [17:38] Any idea what can I do to solve this problem. [17:38] I've sent back 3 500gb ones. [17:38] are you using a Live CD, andre? [17:38] or live USB [17:38] No. [17:38] furryduck, I found this in dmesg output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7990541/ but cant make sense of it :( [17:38] Is installed on my HD. [17:39] furryduck, There is no real validity in you experience in this to many outliers and is not ubuntu support. [17:39] your* [17:39] could the missing mobile broadband option in network manager be the result of missing packages? modemmanager and networkmanager are both installed === pan is now known as Guest53119 [17:40] I'm just putting in my two cents. [17:40] furryduck, consumers drives are not supposed to work in any type of raids) [17:40] I know, I google that later. [17:40] furryduck, yes we know, this channel is support is all. [17:41] are you saying this is the wrong channel for that type of conversation? [17:41] over 1500 users imagine if evryone was adding there 2 cents furryduck [17:41] their* [17:42] oh, ok, sorry, I'm new to irc. [17:42] furryduck, No biggie, you were trying to help, it is just concrete info is needed ans support is all. ;) [17:42] and* [17:43] do you use /msg for private messages? [17:44] furryduck, Don't pm without asking a user first, I have it off for example. [17:44] oh, ok [17:44] hello, when I click on applications to run I hear the hard disk thrashing pretty loud, is that normal? [17:44] is it in pulses? [17:44] like Wurrrr .... Wurrr ... Wurrr [17:45] could this mean a reason to cause sporadic freezes? I found nothing else noticeable in dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7990541/ ? [17:45] cpined, use the smartdisk in the disks app top right corner. [17:45] That section looked like a hardware error. [17:45] smartcheck that is cpined [17:45] power specifically. [17:46] could you upload your whole dmesg? [17:46] Beldar: How do I do that? [17:47] cpined, open the disks app top right corner is a drop down smart data ans self test will show you data. [17:48] furryduck, it is long. and not sure if using 'less' lists it properly [17:48] so, for the reinstall, I can use 64 bit download? [17:48] So... any idea about my problem? [17:49] cpined, Thrashing from here is a hard thing to use as any real data, I would be sure the HD is in good shape and not to full. [17:49] Beldar: what do i look for? [17:50] it depends [17:50] what did "uname -p" give you [17:50] ? [17:50] x86 65 [17:50] sorry, 64 :) [17:50] xD [17:50] That means your processor is 64-bit [17:50] I'd use the 64 bit build if I were you. [17:51] yes, sure..no,I was just referring to this recommend of 32 bit [17:51] cpined, problems with the HD in the data the assessment is a okay start, smatcheck can be run from a terminal, I would research this, some here might walk you through, but you have to be realistic with just a "my disc is thrashing" notice. [17:51] lol, im going to use that next time someone asks me what my os bit is. 65, cos mines better [17:52] That is most likely reccomended because lots of 32-bit processors have smaller amounts of ram. 64-bit is newer than 32-bit [17:52] lol royalaxe [17:52] I was thinking the same thing [17:53] x86_8192 [17:53] [Ubuntu 12.04 server] On login through ssh, a warning is generated if some partition is almost full (e.g., 99%). Can the threshold be changed? If yes, how?

[17:54] YetAnotherCharac, have a look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7925/can-i-configure-low-disk-space-warning-to-a-lesser-threshold [17:54] furryduck: Isn't that for gnome only? [17:54] YetAnotherCharac, Don't fill up the HD. [17:55] Beldar: I want to lower it [17:55] are you referring to a command line warning? [17:55] furryduck: yes [17:55] for /boot [17:55] I want to lower it to 90% [17:55] YetAnotherCharac, Or make the partition larger, if a boot partition remove extra kernels. [17:56] Beldar: I just removed extra kernels, I want to have a longer time of warning next time this happen [17:56] YetAnotherCharac, trying to reset a warning is a bad idea just monitor the thing. [17:56] (it broke apt-get, was a pain to repair) [17:57] Beldar: Then I guess I should make an additional script checking it [17:57] YetAnotherCharac, it did not break apt-get you had a broken update, not rocket science stuff. [17:58] here's a good one: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-osx-unix-get-an-alert-when-my-disk-is-full/ [17:58] if you're looking for a pre-made script [17:58] YetAnotherCharac, one server?

[17:58] Hi, I wish to open a mp3 stream from a webdav resource, play it using a media player and preferably stream it back out over icecast. any suggestions, since mpd doesn't stream from webdav collections? HOw do I go about streaming in from webdav and streaming out over icecast? [17:59] YetAnotherCharac, If you do this and never check you are just asking for trouble, a boot partition is not really needed anyway. [17:59] webdav is on an external server. media player and icecast on my server [17:59] Beldar: it came with the install, and I have no physical access to the machine [17:59] sdf30s: you could mount the webdav resource [18:00] and use it like a local filesystem [18:00] ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR Failed to lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [18:00] furryduck: my music collection is huge and mpd wants to scan tqags over gigabytes of mp3s... any better suggestions? [18:00] hi [18:00] Beldar: There is room for ~22 more kernels, I'm planing ahead for next year... [18:01] i have /etc/rc.local is not executed in startup, how i can solve? [18:01] DGMurdock, Context? any stopped upgrades, broken packages, other installers open? [18:01] do you not want it to scan? [18:01] YetAnotherCharac, you only need 2 sets [18:01] furryduck: no... just stream in from webdav... read tagsw on the go one file at a time while playing [18:02] furryduck: similar to m3u and pls files with pointers to the file locations [18:02] YetAnotherCharac, one working a nd another to be sure you have a woking install. [18:02] and * working* [18:03] Beldar: Yeah, but I'm not always on the machine, and not the only user, and I will leave at some point and want them to have some warning [18:03] MPD doesn't do this-> Here's my username and password for my webdav ... these are the file paths I want you to play over the next hour streamed out over icecast [18:03] Beldar, trying to do system updates [18:04] DGMurdock, Yes, and any answers to what I addressed. Ask if you do not understand. [18:05] Beldar, also im not really using ubuntu im using pinguyos a ubuntu based os and it not lasted verson [18:05] DO you mean that's what you're tyring to do? [18:05] yes [18:05] DGMurdock, You will have to ask the it is not supported here. But what I asked is good investigative info. [18:05] them* [18:06] i have mpd and icecast play local files... problem is playing mp3s streamed from external webdav... any suggestions/ alternatives/ hacks/ scripts? [18:06] you could mound the web-dav, then create a directory of with soft-links to the files you want to play. [18:06] fuse is diabled on my server [18:06] DGMurdock, I might suggest you just install ubuntu, way more support. [18:06] oh. [18:06] Beldar, no i dont think there are any installers open not sure if there are any broken packages [18:07] DGMurdock, we are done your not supported here is all. ;) [18:07] you're* [18:08] you could use rsync to sync a remote directory with the songs you want with a local one. [18:08] create a cron job to do this at intervals. [18:08] webdav is my only option .. i have no contro over the external server [18:08] you could use 'cadaver' [18:09] to sync the files. [18:10] i used HTTP::DAV and dave to sync files but it is not automated when I want to play dynamic playlists on the fly ... how do I script dave/cadaver? [18:11] how do I mentain an index on my server pointing to external webdav collection (several GBs) [18:11] maintain* [18:12] play me song 67, 228, 752, 3 from webdav... for eg [18:12] and you want to queue them up on the fly, while playing? [18:13] yes, mpd cannot create a database since fuse is not feasible === zombie_ is now known as digitalZombie [18:14] If only I could create hooks to the thousands of webdav files and proxy it to mpd on the fly [18:14] mpc add doesnot accept webdav links .... only plain http links to stream [18:15] mpd queries the proxy which fetches it the filestream from webdav [18:17] EXTERNAL webdav >> proxy >> mpd >> icecast... the proxy is only my way of representing my problem since mpd does not talk webdav nor can webdav be mounted which will again waste a lot of bandwidth indexing over the internet for tags [18:17] here's the man-page for cadaver: http://linux.die.net/man/1/cadaver [18:18] it requires user input iirc ... i want my proxy to know which nested subdirectory to look for to fetch the filestream [18:19] here's a scripting example for cadaver: http://robertmarkbramprogrammer.blogspot.com/2010/09/using-webdav-and-cadaver-with-dotcms.html [18:20] cadaver is both interactive, and scriptable [18:20] i see... i gave up cavader and picked dave because it does not recurse directories [18:21] the same principl applies to scripting dave. [18:21] with the < does anyone know how to extend a folder using a second drive? [18:22] lets assume I can fetch the file one by one to be played back using dave/ cadaver... how do i instruct mpd to play these automatically one after another based on playlistsw? [18:22] I'm not familiear with mpd, but you could try a for loop, reading a file in bash. [18:23] I'm pretty sure when bash does a for loop on the lines in a file, it doesn't read the next line until it's processed the previous one. [18:23] how do I do callbacks that mpd is done playing to queue next download [18:23] how do i maintain an index of thousands of file locations within the webdav? [18:24] I'm not familiar with MPD, so I don't know. [18:24] sorry [18:24] index on my server to query and create playlists? [18:24] my question is on the file caching side ... not the playback side [18:24] you could use find or locate [18:24] find /path/to/music [18:24] on a huge webdav collection? [18:25] oh, right, no remote bash access [18:26] indexing, fetching, caching (downloading using cadaver/dave) is one part of the problem [18:26] caching I can figure out by using say a /tmp location [18:27] fetching can be automated IF I know where to look for inside the huge webdav containing thousands of complicated paths [18:27] help my ubuntu install seems screwed up [18:27] i can upgrade r get anything from apt [18:27] its 12.10 which i know needs to be updated [18:28] indexing is a means to keep a telephone directory whereby I can query and queue the files inside /tmp === linuxuser is now known as Guest61543 [18:29] hey guys i typed route in my terminal and i see this in the list [18:29] pacone13.mailin [18:29] what would that be?

[19:50] frainfreeze: You do not "have" to do anything IF ubuntu is to be the sole OS . Boot the liveDVD(USB) -> install, choose "erase disk and install ubuntu" . boom, done. [19:50] cool , thanks [19:52] frainfreeze: In the event you are going to dual boot // easiest is to install Windows first, then from the ubuntu installer -> choose "install along side" .

While partitioning and choosing "physical volume for RAID" im not able to change the bootflag to "on". i cant even choose "primary" or "logical" partition. help? [20:00] I have an annoying problem.

[20:01] I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1, with three displays. Is it possible to have a separate wallpaper per display? I tried SyncWall, but it seems to want to stretch/crop/etc a single image.

Can someone help . https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982 [20:07] Bashing-om, i read that i can fix it by partitioning the disk before the installation with gparted. going to try it :P [20:09] ahmadgbg: I am hunting up the docs I used long ago to set up raid. brb [20:09] Bashing-om, thanks :P [20:12] ahmadgbg: Have a read here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID , Old but still good . [20:13] In your own opinion, or perhaps best practice, where should backup files live on an ubuntu instance for production? [20:13] Basically, I would like to make a backup of all my project files somewhere else in my remote host, but where is a coherent place to put it? [20:13] exit [20:15] KLVTZ: /var/backup maybe [20:15] Bashing-om, will try it [20:15] KLVTZ: "production" machine "best practice -> off the machine and off the premise . ( machines break, fires happen ) .. importatnat data is importance ) . [20:16] geirha: thanks! I was thinking the var folder [20:16] Bashing-om: Oh I've made a relentless amount of backups on other devices off of production. [20:17] I remember square space, when first starting out, had their servers in water because of a hurrican [20:17] it's interesting what may face our data in a diseaster like that [20:18] KLVTZ: Yeah ! Depending on the level of protection .. 3 backups in 3 locations . [20:18] I interpreted it as "backup for when I accidentally rm(1)" [20:19] in which case a local filesystem makes restoring easy [20:19] when a new crontab gets created, does the cron service need to be restarted? === digiv_ is now known as digiv|met [20:19] pengin: no, but it may take a minute or two for it to notice the change [20:20] so if you're making a testjob, put it 3 minutes in the future [20:20] (or more) [20:20] im trying to get this job to run every 5 minutes, but no go =/ [20:20] */5 * * * * /home/ubuntu/gollum/.sync.sh [20:20] The MOTD on -server suggests that landscape is enabled by default and that one can access through landscape.canonical.com. <--- I'm hoping this isn't true? [20:22] pengin: check /var/log/syslog, see if the CRON job is run there [20:22] e.g. grep CRON /var/log/syslog [20:23] pengin: most likely, cron runs the script, but the script fails because it's lacking some environment variables [20:24] it looks like only cron.hourly [20:24] the script works fine when launched manually [20:24] pengin: http://askubuntu.com/a/23438/9016 [20:24] anyone care to comment on my problem [20:24] pengin: which crontab is it btw, the one you change with crontab -e ?

E.g. no .sh at the end of the script filename [20:27] rww: I can't find haproxy 1.5 backport on trusty [20:27] rww: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/all/haproxy [20:28] bencc: Do you have backports enabled on your system? [20:28] geirha: okay, I can do that. what's the reasoning behind not adding extensions?

[20:28] bencc: yes, that's the default mode of operation [20:28] pengin: also a bit odd that the file is "hidden" (starts with a .) [20:29] bencc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports has all the info. once you get it set up, sudo apt-get install haproxy/trusty-backports should work [20:29] rww: how do I install this package?

Can someone help . https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982 [20:36] Vivekananda, Nice try you were trying to get attention. You are a user of the channel you never give help that is okay just follow the norm. The wait time is 10 min, you were well wilthin a repost of it. [20:37] Beldar: you mean to say I never give out help ? if that is what you mean that I dont coz I dont usually know the correct answer or I wouldnt be asing so many questions :) [20:38] Hi Everyone [20:39] Im on Gnome Shell and there is no system tray on the top panel, is there a way to add that? [20:39] Hi...I think I need to edit my /etc/gshadow file. I am not well versed in command line editing. Are there any GUI options that would work? Thanks in advance. [20:40] andybrine: the systemtray reveals at the bottom [20:40] push the mouse to the edge of the screen on the bottom [20:40] im trying that but it doesnt show up [20:41] no idea then.

But that is fine coz I want to stick to the topic of asking. If there is something relevant that I need to observe let me know that directly. [20:47] andybrine, Stuff from the extensions go there, check the website. [20:47] by topic I mean the samba issue I am having [20:48] Vivekananda, You are responsible for acting like an adult here and following the channels rules like everyone else, please start doing so. [20:49] ahmadgbg: Great ... and - up up and away ! [20:49] andybrine, Some things may go in the transparent popup on the bottom if you like. [20:50] okay that was clearer thanks. I will look into the rules again [20:51] there used to be a page for this channel rules cant seem to find. can someone ping me the link [20:51] Hi...I think I need to edit my /etc/gshadow file. I am not well versed in command line editing. Are there any GUI options that would work? Thanks in advance.

Even though I want a password. I want to fix that ASAP! [20:54] mikeg3: I do not run a GUI, but as I recall, there is a check box in " user accounts" to control that behaviour (??) . [20:55] Bashing, been there tried that in User accounts...no effect [20:56] Bashing, check this article, which I am attempting to follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/106428/how-to-disable-automatic-login [20:58] mikeg3, just enable autologin, and you will need no password to boot. === fagner is now known as D4th [20:58] OerHeks: he wants it the other way round === D4th is now known as D4thMinus [20:59] mikeg3: look'n / brb [20:59] OerHeks, I want the exact opposite....It is logging me in automatically and I caNNOT MAKE IT STOP [21:02] i can't get the open-source radeon driver to work anymore. if i try to modprobe it, it says "ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Invalid argument". i got hybrid graphics (intel integrated and a 7970m dedicated) - can someone help me? [21:06] how do I remove a packages and all it's dependencies (which aren't dependencies of any other package not to be removed)? [21:06] mikeg3: I can add nothing to what the askubuntu link advises, sorry. [21:07] alexThunder: hybrid graphics ! Have you seen : http://askubuntu.com/questions/205112/how-do-i-get-amd-intel-hybrid-graphics-drivers-to-work/288355#288355 ? [21:07] WXZ1: sudo apt-get remove and then sudo apt-get autoremove [21:07] Is there a 14.04 equivalent to the 12.04 com.ubuntu.update-notifier.hide-reboot-notification key? The only answers I'll accept are "Yes, here it is" or "No. You may now rip out the update manager and clone its functionality using apt-get and shell scripts" [21:09] Bashing-om: yes, but thats about the catalyst/proprietary driver. It works, but i now want to use the foss driver (again - it used to work just a couple of hours ago) [21:09] Bashing, do you think I am running afoul of some permissions issue maybe? [21:10] alexThunder: Open source efforts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics . [21:10] how do I remove a packages and all it's dependencies (which aren't dependencies of any other package not to be removed)? [21:10] a package* [21:10] ...or I suppose I could just configure my window manager to deny the "please reboot now" window permission to appear. [21:11] WXZ1: I told you already,you need to read what is said :) [21:11] guntbert: it kicked me [21:11] WXZ1: sudo apt-get remove and then sudo apt-get autoremove [21:12] but how does autoremove know which packages are dependencies [21:12] Bashing-om: it only tells me to install fglrx [21:12] and which packages I actually installed? [21:13] I tried looking at uubntu channel guidelines for time after which a question can be repeated but did not find anything specific. I hope I am in time to ask my question again. [21:13] WXZ1: there is a flag in the package system - for automatically/manually installed [21:13] I see [21:13] mikeg3: gksudo gedit [21:13] trying to install samba and samba system cofig in ubuntu 12.04 but does not work. Can someone help . https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982 [21:14] alexThunder: I doubt it is a permission issue .. by those numbers in the link : have you looked at "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" see if it requires editing ? ( next ??) [21:14] mikeg3: But what exactly do you need to do? [21:14] then I guess I don't have any unused packages because autoremove told me I don't. :| [21:15] WXZ1: seems to be the case [21:16] alexThunder: sorry bout that one .. mikeg3 ^^ . [21:16] Bashing-om: np, I already figured [21:17] I am not sure what to do other than follow the suggestion in the article with the green checkmark; unfortunately my commandline skill is weak === No is now known as Guest47826 [21:17] is there actually channel for foss radeon driver support? [21:18] alexThunder, no [21:19] Hello :) [21:19] mikeg3: You should not avoid learning comandline methods, (they are usually not that hard). [21:19] Given how fast this channel moves, I'm going to assume that I'm not getting any answers for how to disable reboot nags in update-manager and move on to replacing it with apt-get, a zenity dialog for GUI, and shell scripting. [21:19] mikeg3: You might even enjoy learning. [21:19] alexThunder, I do see a #radeon [21:19] just to double check, lts versions are now supported 3 years from the point release and not the initial release yes? [21:20] maybe a gksu primer [21:20] !patience | deitarion [21:20] deitarion: 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/ [21:20] Beldar, yes, thanks. I just found it too [21:20] kostkon: In a slower-moving channel, I'd wait. Here, I'm pretty anybody who actually saw my question has had ample time to answer it. [21:21] mikeg3: Continue to build on your knowledge, just learn one task at a time. [21:21] deitarion, Reboots are generally kernel related, a few other instances, you can have a no reboot for kernels. [21:21] mikeg3: If you feel adventurous, try vimtutor [21:22] alexThunder: Mind you I do not know, as I do not have direct experience, but I would think that one would have to move the xorg.conf file out of the way, disable a graphics set in bios, and (re-)install the foss driver for the then available graphics (??) [21:22] Beldar: If I didn't need a newer GCC and glibc, I'd still be on 12.04 where it allows you to turn off the reboot nags. [21:22] i donno if its firefox or ubuntu but try to visit www.soundcloud.com and listen to music it cant start [21:22] evilbug, 5 years in total [21:23] deitarion, This a uptime thing? [21:23] hello [21:23] Bashing-om, Well, i did this already :D [21:23] Beanzero: have you tried another browser? [21:23] is there any GPU video converter available,/ [21:23] /quit [21:23] kostkon: ah, ok. gotcha. [21:23] guys, if my ubuntu in vmware and i want to expend its fs, i added space in vmware to my virtual hdd, now i've installed system-config-lvm and can open it as root, but everythig is greyed out, why can't i edit anything? [21:23] ubuntu is guest [21:24] alexThunder: OK, so we need to look at what is available and what driver is loaded ? [21:24] Beldar: It's a "refuse to choose between losing my focus to a popup and losing my focus to having to tear down and then rebuild my entire session" thing. [21:24] user1415: We probably don't even know what a GPU video converter is. [21:24] evilbug: nope [21:24] let me do that [21:24] is there an easyer way? [21:24] deitarion, Oh, I thin they have meds for that. ;) [21:24] think* [21:24] Beldar: In 12.04, I could relegate it to a tray icon which I could deal with on my own terms. [21:24] Beanzero: my firefox works fine on os x. [21:24] user1415: What is it you need to do? [21:25] Bashing-om, I guess. lsmod doesn't say anything about radeon. When I try to modprobe radeon, it says "ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Invalid argument" === ezobn is now known as Guest25874 [21:25] usr13: sorry, didnt hit the asksign.. I mean a converter that is using the GPU to convert videos (all I tried are using cpu only) [21:26] Beldar: Plus, you're looking at someone who used to run KDE 3.5, then switched to LXDE when KDE 4.x was too heavy. I'm fully willing to reinvent any and every component on my desktop that doesn't acknowledge my authority. I refuse to let a patronizing update nagger defy me.

[21:26] thought* [21:26] evilbug: sorry for wasting your time [21:26] firefox is the prob [21:27] Beanzero: what specifically? [21:27] usr13: nvidia gpu [21:27] idn [21:27] soundcloud just dosnt work with ubuntu = firfox [21:28] Beanzero: i'd like to know why exactly still :( [21:28] Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7992195/ [21:28] alexThunder: Look'n at your 7992195/ .

[21:30] usr13: all I found out yet, is that libav/ffmpeg only is using the gpu to decode, but not to encode [21:31] alexThunder: I see: "Kernel driver in use: i915" that is Intel . Konfiguration: latency=0- no driver is loaded. So I "assume" ATI is disabled in bios ? [21:32] Bashing-om: Take a look at "lspci -k" and look for ATI. [21:32] Bashing-om, i don't have an option for enabling/disabling this in bios. [21:33] alexThunder: Let's take bekks' hint and try and sort this out. [21:33] Bashing-om, it says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wimbledon XT [Radeon HD 7970M] [21:34] evilbug: thank you but ill just go with chrome [21:34] thank you for your time [21:34] quitter! [21:36] hi all.. if I have a machine with multiple sound devices, is there a way to route some applications to one of them and other applications to the other? [21:37] PoolShark_: not sure, but jack might be able to do that. [21:38] alexThunder: Yeah, To me that indicates that the ATI card is available, and no driver is loaded for it .. I would think we need to deside which grahics set to use, and as there is no setting in bios ( strange) .. take a lokk at "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" see if we can make heads or tails out of it. [21:38] lokk/look* [21:39] yeah I installed jack but it seems.... over my head [21:39] hi [21:40] hoping someone can comment on my issue for samba install. if there a better alternative can someone lemme know. https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982 [21:40] Bashing-om, well, i don't have that xorg.conf anymore. I deleted it when I was uninstalling fglrx. Earlier this day I was using my intel igpu and could run stuff with the radeon using DRI_PRIME=1 [21:41] Um.. I get a black screen after booting up my laptop until i press enter, which boots Ubuntu. I need the grub menu to be able to launch windows again. Can someone help me please [21:42] Vivekananda: line 51 states the issue pretty clearly. does an smb.conf exist in /etc/samba/ ? [21:44] is it true cannicatal has backdoors into ubuntu [21:44] my friend told me that i didnt believe it [21:45] err.. Also for some reason the screen that says press F12 to choose what to boot first is also gone. So i can't repair using a cd... [21:45] daftykins: I assumed that on installing samba it will generate the conf file not too sure though [21:45] wow changing to lubuntu desktop brings much performance gains even on high end pc's [21:46] there need to change a lot [21:46] mangop, Are you tapping the shift key on powering in to get the grub menu? [21:47] Is lubuntu nice SP33D? [21:47] Vivekananda: that error message is pretty blatant, check if it's there and rename it if so [21:47] I have tried that, doesn't work, still a black screen [21:47] frozen using it a lot but on my master work pc i tryed unity 3d because it has many graphic cards and so on [21:47] but firefox an all freezes sometimes with lubuntu that is fixed i like it a lot [21:48] it don't looks nasty and is much faster [21:48] mangop, Use nicks here to preface to whom you answering. Any clue as to why it's just black? [21:48] your* [21:48] so good performance with hight end cpu === j is now known as Guest64663 [21:48] i hope we all the ubuntu community get soon the html interface finished so we can make a window manager in nodejs with html only [21:48] i will try it ty [21:49] Beldar no idea, I checked the grub config file and anything with hidden in it is commented out if that means anything [21:49] SP33D: please take your general chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [21:49] alexThunder: I have to struggel with hybrid graphics, out of my depth here. As it stands now these is no driver (module) loaded for any graphics set. As you advise there is no menas in bios to control the graphics sets, I would think a "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" would then be required . [21:49] these/there* [21:50] mangop, The issue here are details, you have given virtually none. [21:50] aftykins little question what part of ubuntu your coding on at present? [21:50] daftykins little question what part of ubuntu your coding on at present? [21:50] Beldar err I'm not sure what details you need sorry [21:50] SP33D: that's off topic here, support questions only thanks [21:51] mangop, What is the graphic harsware? [21:51] hardware* === Guest15101 is now known as nesthib [21:52] Bashing-om, uh oh :D uhm ... liken this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7992376/ [21:52] Beldar it's a laptop so its Intel Ironlake Mobile [21:53] Beldar also the menu has shown up before [21:53] it used to work and for some reason it doesn't now... [21:53] mangop, Did you modify the graphic drivers since it worked and now, when not working? [21:54] Beldar nope, I haven't even used this laptop for months [21:57] then simpy list all files that are modifyed scince thats month [21:57] or in the last month [21:57] cant be so much [21:57] alexThunder: Beats me, all I know to do is expeiment/ what is currently "Kernel driver in use: i915". The system is seeing the Intel graphics. How to make it see the ATI card, well I would think in 'Xorg.conf" . Maybe not enough in the file to this time to make that happen (??) . [21:57] mangop, Why not just reinstall the windows bootloader to the boot either the mbr or a uefi setup what ever it is since you want the windows boot. Do you have any use for the ubuntu? === marius is now known as Guest53228 [22:01] Bashing-om, i915 is (probably) the intel driver. Well, I'll just give it a try - brb [22:02] alexbligh1: I am still think'n . What returns from -> lsmod | grep radeon , lsmod | grep i915 <- ? [22:04] exit [22:05] Bashing-om, no luck :/ Btw. X is supposed to load the module on its own, isn't it? Since i can't even modprobe the radeon module, i think the problem isn't in the xorg.conf (well, just my thought, but i am anything but an expert on this :D) [22:05] Pershendetje T'Gjithve Ketu :)) [22:06] BesTtT, Can you make sense in english? [22:07] Beldar I can't because even the boot screen is black I can't choose to boot the cd [22:07] alexThunder: Problem being that there are 2 sets of graphics, and X can not decide on it's own what to do. If you could turn one of them off in bios, X would not have this problem. [22:07] mangop, No bios splash? [22:08] ubuntu is not good for normal desktop use? [22:08] Beldar yeah its gone [22:08] linuxthefish, Can you parse that to an actual issue? [22:09] mangop, NOt sure than myself. [22:10] Beldar could the kernal command thing "quite splash" have anything to do with this (in grub config) [22:11] mangop: Black screen when booting up the liveDVD, maybe a graphics driver issue ? Have you tried booting to the liveDVD's boot options screen, and see about the options from the F6 key ? [22:11] Beldar for laptops in general [22:12] i switched over to ubuntu on about 50 modern laptops and nearly all of them have had issues from high fan on resume to display going blank after login [22:12] linuxthefish, Any opinion is subjective, and not really a support issue. [22:12] Bashing-om I can't actually boot from a cd/dvd because the bios splash doesn't come up [22:12] is there plans for more laptop support in ubuntu? [22:12] ?join #ubuntu-ops [22:13] is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces? [22:13] gazza ctrl + s? [22:13] linuxthefish, This is support not polling, no attachment to ubuntu canonical. [22:13] oh :/ [22:14] mangop, quiet splash is post grub menu [22:14] OERIAS: You may want to change your "auto-login" "script" to use / instead of ? then. [22:15] mangop: Then that is a) hardware problems, b) Bios problem . If bios can not load and pass of to a boot loader ( LiveDVD is known good), you look at th hardware level. For sure if there is no BIOS splash screen - It has nothing yet to do with any operating system. [22:15] Bashing-om, Mh, i'll tinker around with it, see how far I get. Thanks for taking some time :) [22:16] alexThunder: regret I am no more help // let us know what goes on .. I am always open to learning. [22:17] Bashing-om Not sure if it is hardware problems because nothing has changed or happened, I'll research more about the bios [22:17] Thanks Beldar Bashing-om [22:17] Bashing-om, If i should manage to get it working again, I'll tell you - but dont count on it :) [22:17] alexThunder: Just because I do nopt know. others here do ! .. hang in here and see what others advise. [22:18] nopt/not* [22:21] Bashing-om, Well, I need it to be working for tomorrow. Either I get the foss driver working within the next few hours or I'll just stick with the proprietary one. Trying to get it to work will probably require some reboots, so I might miss some answers anyway [22:22] :D [22:22] It is done === brad_ is now known as Guest99555 === Guest99555 is now known as sencha [22:26] i am having a weird issue with my seiki 4k display. i can't change the resolution to 1080p, whether i do it with xrandr or the built in "displays" app.. the screen just goes black for a second and then goes back to 1080p like i never told it to do anything else [22:27] how to disable dash lense?

[23:07] Hi all. Thinking about installing ubuntu but have some doubts regarding my situation. Anyone have time to answer some questions? [23:07] sharpen047: version? system sounds pretty old [23:07] sharpen047: what'd you do yesterday? [23:07] Pitbull_R: that's the purpose of the channel, just ask (preferably on one line) [23:07] Pitbull_R: lots of people [23:08] Pitbull_R: Ask a question, we respond is how this works. [23:09] looking for some suggestions here. currently on ubuntu "12.04.5" but with the mainline kernel 3.2.x (system was installed on 12.04) and want to move to mainline 3.13.x like a real 12.04.5 w/ Trusty HWE... any thoughts? [23:09] apt-get purge is wanting to remove packages that I don’t want to remove, what do i do? [23:09] expunge: thanks. I have been a WIn user all my life, but recently I have found myself tinkering with some linux. I bought a HP Proliant MicroServer this week and the idea is to set up a small home server that will allow me to access my files from the outside, but mainly to run Plex to share my media, run SickBeard and SABnzbd and Couchpotato (and I heard something about headphones?). [23:10] Pitbull_R: about headphones? [23:10] finlstrm: Why ? the HWE is made available to support new hardware . [23:10] Pitbull_R: what's stopping you [23:10] finlstrm: yeah, install the trusty HWE then [23:10] TaZeR: k-lined =P [23:10] want the new kernel version [23:10] ive ran sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty but brakes unity [23:11] Well, the server came with a 250gb disk, I have a 1,5 tb disk in my current pc and it'll be going over to the server, and I'll be adding either a 3rd 4tb drive or a 3rd and 4th 2tb drives. [23:11] Pitbull_R: ah [23:11] Pitbull_R: well if you have any trouble, this is the place [23:11] although server installs are even simpler [23:11] Will I be able to set up raid with these drives and have some sort of redundancy? [23:12] Pitbull_R: yes... but RAID isn't really about redundancy of _data_, it's about redundancy of _access_ [23:12] which is probably not really what you're after [23:12] No :( [23:12] Pitbull_R: a good backup system, though, yes, good idea [23:12] I want to keep the data safe. [23:12] i'd disagree with that statement [23:12] daftykins: yeah but you'd be wrong [23:12] if you bought 2 x 2TB disks they could be mirrored, so if one died you'd still have the other [23:12] RAID kills drives, it is not about protecting data, not unless you can afford to instantly replace a drive in a _very_ large array [23:13] but you've still got to back that up separately, so perhaps that's what expunge is getting at with his rude approach [23:13] rude?... [23:13] Initially I was thinking unRAID but figured out that any which way I cut it, I will always lose a tone of space. [23:13] Pitbull_R: you can backup important stuff with the space you can use equally on each, and use the rest for stuff you don't care about [23:16] I guess that is one way to go. Would it be possible to partition the 2TB drives equally, say 250GB - 1750GB, then have the 250GB partitions set in mirror? [23:16] finlstrm: "ive ran sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty but brakes unity" you need Xserver and Graphics support also : sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty . [23:16] Pitbull_R: yup [23:16] anything is possible in software [23:16] and that's both possible and simple [23:16] expunge any advice? [23:17] Bashing-om: thanks, ill give that a try. forgot about graphics [23:17] jak2000: sorry I don't know anything about Ubuntu's network configs [23:17] jak2000: ask again [23:17] someone in the channel will know [23:17] I made two DVD-R videos with a sony camcorder.
