| chubboes | sacrelicious: just saying since I had ubuntu 1 week I reinstalled the whole thing like every day | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| olivier__ | Beldar, here is the bootinfoscript: http://dpaste.com/3AA8RB7 | 00:00 |
| sacrelicious | apparently theres a possible fix about checking a box for source code in the ubuntu register? | 00:02 |
| sacrelicious | i have no idea what that means though | 00:02 |
| DoverMo | sacrelicious, within your software source settings | 00:03 |
| ovrflw0x | where can i download other themes for unity? | 00:03 |
| ovrflw0x | how to remove "Displays" from "System settings" in Unity | 00:03 |
| Beldar | olivier__, Two problems elementary is not supported here, and for windows you are missing what was probably the boot partition. Just as info you are missing /bootmgr /Boot/BCD in windows tis can be fixed with a recovery or install disc. That is all I can say you are not supported with either here. | 00:03 |
| OerHeks | !themes | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | webupd8 reports lot of themes too | 00:05 |
| sacrelicious | Okay, so the box next to source code has a "-" next to it instead of a check? | 00:05 |
| olivier__ | Beldar, ok thanks to you, I was thinking grub can boot windows without using windows mbr | 00:06 |
| sacrelicious | WTF. I can't download anything from the software center, and now its claiming no package named firefox exists? | 00:07 |
| Beldar | olivier__, The mbr is not the issue. | 00:10 |
| Beldar | you are missing key windows boot stuff | 00:10 |
| mikeg31 | What is the easiest command line editor to use to edit a file in Ubuntu for a Unix newbie? | 00:10 |
| * tome likes nano | 00:10 | |
| expunge | mikeg31: nano -uw | 00:10 |
| Beldar | mikeg31, ubuntu is not unix | 00:11 |
| Kira9204 | hands down nano | 00:11 |
| ovrflw0x | hi Kira9204 | 00:11 |
| expunge | Beldar: sure it is | 00:11 |
| expunge | joe's a lot like nano, too | 00:11 |
| expunge | but nano is more prevalent | 00:11 |
| Kira9204 | if you want something more advanced with highlighting and whatever i can recommend vim | 00:11 |
| olivier__ | Beldar, shit it was probably on one of the 2 partition that I have deleted (a recovery one, and another), thanks for your help, I will try windows 7 boot repair | 00:11 |
| Beldar | it is linux technically different | 00:11 |
| expunge | Vim takes up-front learning | 00:11 |
| expunge | Beldar: Linux is a kernel | 00:12 |
| ovrflw0x | Beldar, olivier__ cussed | 00:12 |
| Beldar | expunge, Yes I know. | 00:12 |
| ovrflw0x | Beldar, olivier__ used nasty word show him the usual message | 00:12 |
| expunge | it's true that Unix is not Linux, one is an OS, one is a kernel | 00:12 |
| expunge | qutie profound | 00:12 |
| expunge | and also quite | 00:12 |
| Beldar | don't make broad generalizations than use a exact definition at the same time expunge | 00:13 |
| expunge | I don't make the generalizations, I just use'm | 00:13 |
| Beldar | expunge, You claimed ubuntu was unix | 00:13 |
| sacrelicious | someone please help -_-" | 00:13 |
| sacrelicious | I can not install any software, at all. | 00:13 |
| Beldar | it's not technically | 00:13 |
| Beldar | that is a broad generalization | 00:14 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: what version are you on? | 00:14 |
| sacrelicious | 13.04 | 00:14 |
| mikeg31 | Let me explain my problem a little further…I am using Ubuntu 14.10. I cannot stop the system from autologging me in. I think the answer to my problem is here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/106428/how-to-disable-automatic-login, but the biggest obstacle for me now is easiest and safest way to edit system files | 00:15 |
| user2 | who is he, and what is he to you, ooh girl | 00:15 |
| Beldar | !14.10 | mikeg31 | 00:15 |
| ubottu | mikeg31: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) is the next development release of Ubuntu due for release in October 2014. Support in #ubuntu+1. For more info, see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1363 | 00:15 |
| expunge | Beldar: sure it is, an inventor of Unix even said so | 00:15 |
| qwd | Ubuntu 14.04 on Thinkpad x230. I turn off touchpad to use only trackpoint but it keeps reactivating itself, any idea how to stop this so I don't have to go back to mouse settings all the time? | 00:15 |
| expunge | nothing personal, I take his assessment over yours | 00:15 |
| mikeg31 | excuse me 14.04 sorry | 00:16 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: thats quite an old release | 00:16 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 00:16 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, I keep getting an error "check your internet connection" | 00:16 |
| Beldar | expunge, Your rhetoric is contrived, you are back pedaling, you should have said nothing, let the ego go and move on. | 00:16 |
| _jack_ | qwd: you probably have to set an xorg rule | 00:16 |
| mmiller14 | mmiller13: ?? | 00:16 |
| expunge | Beldar: I'll get right on that =P | 00:16 |
| kostkon | sacrelicious, 13.04 repos are dead. You need to upgrade to a supported release | 00:17 |
| _jack_ | on arch you could just remove x86-input-synaptics :) | 00:17 |

| sacrelicious | Kira9204, I know, but I need to run it at the moment, I'm running on a laptop with a cracked screen using HDMI, until I can repair it (a few weeks from now) if I upgrade it, It will end up in extend mode with HDMI, instead of Clone mode. | 00:17 |

| ovrflw0x | how can i run a script at startup of unity? | 00:17 |
| sacrelicious | eh... i'll give it a shot anyway. | 00:18 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: isn't that a bios setting? | 00:18 |
| Beldar | mikeg31, This a server? | 00:18 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, i dunno. | 00:19 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: like, you can switch on the keyboard | 00:19 |
| Kira9204 | most laptops can | 00:19 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, just ran update manager. it says "failed to download repository information, check your internet connection" | 00:19 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: yeah, the repository is down | 00:19 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, oh, ok. so its not just me then? | 00:20 |
| ovrflw0x | how can i run a script at startup of unity? | 00:20 |
| Kira9204 | no | 00:20 |

| ImJune | does anyone know any good tutorials for 1.6 (video) | 00:21 |

| rrsemple | hi I am having an issue with Ubuntu 12.04. I have no sound output from my PC. | 00:24 |
| rrsemple | I tested my speakers and they are fine | 00:24 |
| daftykins | sacrelicious: ok, so basically you canot be assisted with anything on that version in here, until you upgrade it to a supported release (12.04.5 or 14.04.1) | 00:24 |
| Basketball | !13.10 | 00:24 |

| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: ok, can you try to ping google.com from the terminal? | 00:24 |
| rrsemple | pulseaudio volume control shows the volume sliders / graphs displaying sound | 00:24 |
| rrsemple | and volume is turned up / mute is off | 00:25 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, just did. | 00:25 |
| rrsemple | I tried 2 different sound cards | 00:25 |
| daftykins | Basketball: if you're going to abuse the bot, please private message it | 00:25 |
| sacrelicious | daftykins, i'm trying up upgrade now, but its not working. | 00:25 |
| Basketball | sorry i was tring to remember what 13.10 was called | 00:25 |
| daftykins | sacrelicious: you'd have to upgrade twice, so your best bet is to backup and clean install | 00:25 |
| sacrelicious | daftykins, i can't do that at the moment. | 00:25 |
| sacrelicious | what other options do i have? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | sacrelicious: depends what you're trying to achieve, today | 00:26 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: if you are lucky sudo do-release-upgrade might work | 00:26 |
| sacrelicious | daftykins, well, this all started when I was trying to watch a bloody live stream, removed my browser, tried to install it, and realized it wouldnt work. | 00:26 |
| daftykins | hah, whoops. | 00:26 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: but i'd recommend a clean install of 14.004 | 00:26 |
| Kira9204 | *14.04 | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | !eolupgrade | 00:27 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 00:27 |
| daftykins | Kira9204: no it's not going to work. | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | EOLupgrades gives a hack to use the old repo's.. | 00:27 |
| daftykins | sacrelicious: see the last link in OerHeks's bot trigger, you can at least get a browser back. once you fix your screen you really should upgrade though (via clean install) | 00:28 |
| sacrelicious | do-release-upgrade is, in fact, working. | 00:29 |
| sacrelicious | booya. | 00:29 |
| daftykins | that seems unlikely | 00:29 |
| sacrelicious | thanks to everyone who has helped :) | 00:29 |
| daftykins | what's it doing, upgrading to 13.10 ? | 00:29 |
| sacrelicious | no clue. | 00:30 |
| daftykins | pretty sure you're in for an interesting night :) | 00:30 |
| daftykins | as i said, bad idea. | 00:30 |
| sacrelicious | should I just kill the upgrade process? | 00:30 |
| daftykins | depends how important using that machine is to you | 00:30 |
| sacrelicious | very. | 00:30 |
| daftykins | and how good your backups are... | 00:31 |
| sacrelicious | dont have any =/ | 00:31 |
| daftykins | yeah, i knew that was coming. | 00:31 |
| sacrelicious | kill it? | 00:31 |
| * Beldar waits for the nah..nah ...nah..nah .. nah it worked later with no real conformation of a stable system | 00:31 | |
| sacrelicious | hrm...i'll figure this out | 00:32 |
| sacrelicious | i'll do a clean install when I can... only question is - if I do one, will my HDMI start in clone mode, or in extend mode, by default? | 00:33 |
| daftykins | i didn't really get why you believed that installing in a given state would do one thing over another | 00:33 |
| daftykins | either way, things can be resolved | 00:33 |
| daftykins | what was up did you say? cracked screen? they're easy jobs | 00:33 |
| Leo_Verto | I'm trying to install 14.04.1 via pxe, can enter the installer and start setting stuff up but the installer fails to get a network configuration | 00:33 |
| Leo_Verto | from wireshark, it looks like the client is dead | 00:34 |
| Leo_Verto | manual network configuration didn't work either | 00:34 |
| daftykins | do you see the DHCP discovery packets? | 00:35 |
| Leo_Verto | nope | 00:35 |
| Kira9204 | sacrelicious: seems like you are in for an intresting ride, i would had just backed up everything and done a clean tho | 00:36 |
| sacrelicious | Kira9204, yeah fair enough. | 00:36 |
| sacrelicious | anyway... i appreciate the help from everyone | 00:36 |
| Leo_Verto | I think something with the interface setup is wrong | 00:36 |
| daftykins | sounds about right, yep. | 00:36 |
| Leo_Verto | but this is just a generic gigabit eithernet port | 00:36 |
| daftykins | Leo_Verto: right but the client first gets an IP to boot over PXE, so maybe it's already configured | 00:36 |
| daftykins | i have no direct experience with that though so nevermind | 00:37 |
| Leo_Verto | well, the same thing already happened with a live-usb | 00:38 |
| Kira9204 | sounds like a driver issue to me then | 00:39 |
| Kira9204 | PXE loads an image into RAM and then boots from it | 00:39 |
| Leo_Verto | well, in /etc/network/devnames the ethernet controller is detected and assigned eth0 | 00:40 |
| Kira9204 | hmm, then it should have a driver for it... | 00:40 |
| Leo_Verto | I found this http://askubuntu.com/a/463125 which mentions a kernel parameter | 00:41 |
| Leo_Verto | and references a 404 document | 00:41 |
| Kira9204 | Leo_Verto: what does lspci | grep Ethernet | 00:43 |
| Kira9204 | output | 00:44 |
| Kira9204 | does it find what it should? | 00:44 |
| Leo_Verto | yep | 00:44 |
| Kira9204 | have you tried to force a DHCP update? | 00:44 |
| Leo_Verto | yeah | 00:45 |
| Kira9204 | sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 00:45 |
| Leo_Verto | trying a live usb now, this shell doesn't have ifdown and ifup | 00:46 |
| Kira9204 | Leo_Verto: just to ensure that the DHCP server isn't at fault here, have you tried to set a static IP? | 00:48 |
| Kira9204 | should be pretty straightforward now that you are using a liveusb | 00:48 |
| Leo_Verto | set a static IP, I've found some pretty specific forum posts | 00:49 |
| Leo_Verto | pretty sure it's a mobo problem | 00:49 |
| Leo_Verto | that would also explain some usb ports not working | 00:49 |
| Oog | i have nginx-full 1.6.0-1+saucy0 installed - i want to install 1.6.1 because of the recent SMTP security issue. any idea when it will come out? | 00:49 |
| daftykins | Oog: what version are you on? "cat /etc/issue" | 00:50 |
| Oog | Ubuntu 14.04.1 | 00:50 |
| Oog | daftykins: i updated :D | 00:51 |
| awesomess3 | mine says: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l | 00:51 |
| awesomess3 | what does the \n and \l mean? | 00:51 |
| Leo_Verto | yay | 00:51 |
| daftykins | Oog: good stuff, i thought it was you. the answer is don't know - try and track down the person that packages nginx maybe. | 00:51 |
| Leo_Verto | apparently this issue is specific to this one motherboard type, but someone found a fix for it | 00:52 |
| Leo_Verto | thanks a lot for the help daftykins and Kira9204 :D | 00:52 |
| Kira9204 | Leo_Verto: np :D | 00:52 |
| daftykins | Leo_Verto: what board out of interest? | 00:52 |
| Leo_Verto | Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 | 00:52 |
| _Bah | laptops bluetooth is enabled ok, no soft or hard block. It can be seen by other devices, but not connected to nor can it discover the other devices. Ideas? | 00:53 |
| daftykins | Leo_Verto: hmm AMD fun - looked into BIOS updates i take it? (obviously that's risky) | 00:53 |
| Leo_Verto | latest bios | 00:54 |
| Leo_Verto | had to enable the IOMMU controller, whatever that is | 00:54 |
| daftykins | heh | 00:54 |
| darksider | hi guys | 00:57 |
| darksider | anyone with autofs experience? | 00:57 |
| expunge | darksider: probably someone | 01:00 |
| darksider | im sure of thst, i just wonder if that someone is around and willing to give a hand :_ | 01:00 |
| darksider | :) | 01:00 |
| daftykins | ask the actual question and then you'll find out | 01:01 |
| darksider | i have a network share at 192.168.0.10/DSTCND that i want to mount in /mnt/DSTCND | 01:01 |
| daftykins | also try to ask it without using the enter key as punctuation | 01:01 |
| expunge | via what protocol? | 01:01 |
| f00fSteR | dstcnd protocol of course! | 01:02 |
| expunge | 'course | 01:02 |
| x9 | my wifi disconnects randomly, suddenly shuts off- no access points at all | 01:03 |
| darksider | didn't know that know that #ubuntu turns into comedy central at night | 01:03 |
| * f00fSteR irc has left a distasteful mouth in my taste | 01:04 | |
| darksider | cifs protocol | 01:05 |
| daftykins | darksider: why not just set it up in /etc/fstab and be done with it? | 01:05 |
| f00fSteR | x9: try pulling out your dongle and plugging it back in. try this repeatedly, until you see it pay off. | 01:06 |
| daftykins | ... | 01:07 |
| darksider | daftykins: making a long story short: the network is not always ready when the system boots, so the drive will not be mounted | 01:07 |
| x9 | f00fSteR, 2 problems, 1 is its integrated, and 2, that's obviously a sex joke | 01:07 |
| daftykins | darksider: write a script then | 01:07 |
| Kira9204 | x9: ah yes, i had this problem all the time with cheap wifi routers | 01:08 |
| Kira9204 | deactivate wifi then reactivate ti | 01:08 |
| Kira9204 | *it | 01:08 |
| f00fSteR | x9: modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 | 01:08 |
| Kira9204 | or restart the router | 01:08 |
| TJ- | darksider: in that case use the mount option "_netdev" to tell mount not to try until the network is up | 01:08 |
| f00fSteR | x9: that'll disabl the buggy n mode on your dongle | 01:08 |
| darksider | hey TJ- | 01:08 |
| f00fSteR | TJ-: good one ;-) | 01:09 |
| TJ- | darksider: hiya ... how's it going? :) | 01:09 |
| darksider | great, spending the saturday night trying to crack this and everybody comes up with workarounds instead of solutions :) | 01:10 |
| rotzbub | ive got a nikon dsc coolpix s1200pj and am unable to read the photos of it. when i connect it, the camera wants me to open the projector and lsusb and dmesg give me no more info than "nikon connected" obviously i need to connect it via mtp but the usual tools dont know my camera.... | 01:11 |
| daftykins | darksider: well you could look into _why_ your network comes up late | 01:12 |
| daftykins | darksider: is the system a laptop perhaps, with network configured by network manager - and you have manual login enabled so it takes until you login to get a connection? | 01:12 |
| daftykins | that'd explain it. | 01:12 |
| Beldar | rotzbub, I see nothing on the web for ubuntu or linux compatibility, might be some code, hope you have the time | 01:15 |
| darksider | daftykins: not really, but close :) | 01:15 |
| daftykins | darksider: how close? | 01:15 |
| rotzbub | Beldar: thing is, the camera was released in 2012. it even gets recognized as the correct type, but like you i find nothing. :/ | 01:16 |
| darksider | not as close as me find a solution to this problem, I hope | 01:16 |
| darksider | :) | 01:16 |
| Beldar | rotzbub, Date of release means nothing. | 01:17 |
| rotzbub | oh well :( | 01:17 |
| rotzbub | thanks anyway | 01:17 |
| darksider | i have a system that turns everything on at the same time (physically) - the NAS that i want to mount takes longer to be ready | 01:18 |
| x9 | myyyy interneetttt iss soooooo slooooooooooowww | 01:19 |
| daftykins | darksider: so why not remove that from the equation... | 01:19 |
| daftykins | darksider: it's quite amusing that you considered our suggestions workarounds, when everything's a workaround because you won't just leave it turned on / make sure to turn it on first :) | 01:20 |
| f00fSteR | darksider: muck u? | 01:22 |
| darksider | daftykins: when somebody's proposal is for me to rewire the whole thing instead of finding an easy software fix, i consider that a workaround (and not a really good one to be honest) ;) | 01:22 |
| daftykins | 'rewire the whole thing' ? | 01:22 |
| Kira9204 | isnät the whole point of a NAS to leave it on? | 01:22 |
| daftykins | Kira9204: it is in my head :( | 01:23 |
| daftykins | and the rest of the world until now | 01:23 |
| darksider | hmmm, since conversation went way off course - I travel a lot, for days on and when I do that I turn everything off. When I come back on, I flip a switch and everything turns on at the same time, including the NAS and the ubuntu headless server | 01:26 |
| expunge | Kira9204: the whole point of a NAS is to sell proprietary OSes =) | 01:27 |
| darksider | hmm, maybe I should consider cancelling my trips, how's that for a workaround? :) | 01:27 |
| daftykins | it's helpful to know the background of a scenario to come up with a sensible courses of action at times. think of it as systems analysis | 01:27 |
| daftykins | darksider: so it's genuinely unfathomable to connect the NAS to a separate socket and leave the others in this gadget? if so i think that's ridiculous | 01:28 |
| Kira9204 | expunge: thats why you build you own nas ;) | 01:28 |
| Kira9204 | the pricing should not differ too much if at all | 01:29 |
| darksider | if i needed life / house-wiring advices, I'd probably join a different channel | 01:29 |
| darksider | also, the NAS also acts as a wifi access point which, for various reasons, I dont leave swithced on while im away | 01:32 |
| daftykins | well, good luck finding a solution to your non-issue | 01:33 |
| === peter is now known as Guest84802 | ||
| Kira9204 | well, if you insist you can add a script that waits a while beforme mounting it | 01:34 |
| Kira9204 | and adding it to rc.local | 01:34 |
| daftykins | yeah we get told we're working around then :( | 01:34 |
| darksider | my question was very specific: how to automount a network share | 01:35 |
| darksider | instead, I get wiring advices and sarcastic attemps | 01:36 |
| daftykins | you'd be surprised at the number of people that come in asking about a leaf when they had the wrong tree all the time | 01:36 |
| daftykins | if you have a problem with that, you're welcome to ask for a refund | 01:36 |
| darksider | for my wasted time? | 01:37 |
| darksider | consider that a present | 01:37 |
| Kira9204 | darksider: is all you want to mount a network share? here is how i do it for sshfs cat /etc/fstab | 01:38 |

| radiogenic | hey ya'll. I'm taking the edx.org linux class and am installing 14.4 as part of the course requirements. I found instructions online regarding how to get around the Windows 8 shenanigans but I wanted somebody to recommend me partitioning software to make that empty space (I don't want to partition with just any software. I'm scared.) | 01:39 |
| radiogenic | anybody have a recommended Windows 8 partitioning software? | 01:39 |
| Beldar | radiogenic, yeah windows disk manager | 01:39 |
| radiogenic | ...o....oh....lol next you're going to tell me that windows 8 mounts .iso files natively! | 01:39 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: which it does XD but for the love of Tux don't try and install ubuntu that way | 01:40 |
| darksider | Kira9204: thanks for the advice. That's want I wanted to substitute with autofs, but people here really seem to hate that :) | 01:40 |
| Beldar | radiogenic, That to out of this world for you? It's the instructions straight from the mother ship. | 01:41 |
| darksider | I already had that set up | 01:41 |
| radiogenic | wait can i get the mothership instructions? I'm on some random website. | 01:41 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: i'm doing LFS101x for fun too, you really ought to just virtualise if you're not comfortable installing natively | 01:41 |
| Kira9204 | radiogenic: Gparted? | 01:41 |
| radiogenic | daftykins, i'm like, even less comfortable virtualizing. never done it. | 01:41 |
| radiogenic | will it run way slower if I virtualize? actually i think that's what i want to do now that i think of it | 01:42 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: heh, it's way easier and less risky than messing about dual-booting with win8 | 01:42 |
| Beldar | I gave you the instructions you can lol all you want but that is how it is generally advised | 01:42 |
| radiogenic | okay. yea. | 01:42 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: grab virtualbox from virtualbox.org, then get started :> you can always change your mind again | 01:43 |
| radiogenic | ok and to be clear that's not related to sandbox right? | 01:43 |
| radiogenic | brb | 01:43 |
| * radiogenic goes to virtualbox.org | 01:43 | |
| daftykins | a VM is a *kind of* sandbox in a way, yeah | 01:43 |
| Beldar | oh boy play by play | 01:43 |
| Geo | service networking restart doesn't seem to work anymore as of 14.04; I have added a new bridge interface into /etc/network/interfaces, how do I get that to run? doing an ifup wan1 yields: "cannot find device: wan1" | 01:43 |
| daftykins | Beldar: perhaps we'll get the download speed stats too | 01:43 |
| Beldar | ;) | 01:43 |
| daftykins | Geo: it hasn't been the proper way to do it for years, it's generally advised to reboot sadly | 01:44 |
| Geo | proper or not, it worked :) | 01:44 |
| daftykins | i doubt it | 01:44 |
| * radiogenic stares at download progress | 01:44 | |
| Geo | so that whole discussion aside, there should be some way to do this without rebooting | 01:44 |
| daftykins | br0 would be more likely the name of a bridge from bridge-utils | 01:44 |
| Geo | so there's no way to re-read the interfaces file, or even a single interface, w/o rebooting the machine is what you're saying? | 01:46 |
| radiogenic | my hotel's internet is 1mbit/sec... | 01:46 |
| * radiogenic stares harder | 01:47 | |
| daftykins | Geo: well at the end of the day you're going to want it configured at boot, so why not just focus on getting it set right? :) | 01:47 |
| TJ- | Geo: ifup/ifdown is the way to do it, or if the existing interface doesn't have an entry in 'interfaces'; use "ip link set <INTERFACE> {down/up}" | 01:47 |
| radiogenic | hey has Linus Torvolds ever been in here? afterall it's the biggest chatroom in the world focused on linux | 01:47 |
| Geo | TJ-: i added the entry to interfaces, and ifup wan1 says "cannot find device: wan1" | 01:47 |
| Geo | let me try your second thought | 01:48 |
| * Beldar stares at the ignore list, "ah a new user". | 01:48 | |
| expunge | Kira9204: yes indeed =) | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Geo: If there is an entry "wlan1" in 'interfaces' then ifdown/ifup will operate on it, otherwise you need the ip2 tools or, the legacy ifconfig | 01:49 |
| === irfan is now known as Guest54965 | ||

| radiogenic | wait | 01:50 |
| radiogenic | i have the x64 version of ubuntu | 01:50 |
| radiogenic | with virtualbox do i have to download the x86 version? | 01:50 |
| Geo | I'm not sure why its telling me wan1 isnt a device, if its added in there | 01:50 |
| expunge | radiogenic: download? | 01:50 |
| expunge | radiogenic: you apt-get virtualbox | 01:50 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: if your host OS is 64-bit windows 8, you'll want 64-bit virtualbox yes | 01:50 |
| daftykins | expunge: not an ubuntu user yet ;) | 01:50 |
| expunge | oh windows host =) | 01:50 |
| expunge | SOON muahahahhh | 01:50 |
| expunge | one of us, one of us | 01:50 |
| * daftykins licks his lips | 01:50 | |
| radiogenic | so my x64 .iso of ubuntu will in fact work on virtualbox with win8 as host? | 01:50 |
| expunge | radiogenic: if it's 64bit win8, yup | 01:51 |
| radiogenic | yay | 01:51 |
| expunge | yayx0r | 01:51 |
| radiogenic | this is for the edx.org linux course | 01:51 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: yes, VMs or virtual machines are like pretend little computers that use a file on your host OS's hard disk as their virtual hard disk | 01:51 |
| radiogenic | i like to pretend | 01:51 |
| radiogenic | PRETENDING'S THE BEST | 01:51 |

| Geo | then why wont it do it :P | 01:52 |

| radiogenic | ok | 01:53 |
| Geo | ip link set wan1 gives the same error, btw | 01:53 |

| radiogenic | daftykins, ty for the help! :3 | 01:58 |
| daftykins | radiogenic: just a quick heads up, the way you setup a VM is you attach the downloaded .ISO to its' virtual CD drive, so there's no need to burn any DVDs etc. to install, anyhow enjoy and good luck :> | 01:59 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | do I really need jack? | 01:59 |
| edition | well, thats the backend. | 01:59 |
| aarcane_ | I accidentally deleted all of /run on a working system, and I suspect some current difficulties are a result. What do I need to do to recreate /run ? | 02:00 |
| edition | but I would recommend Jack. | 02:00 |
| radiogenic | I AM SO EXCITED daftykins! I'll let you know how it goes. | 02:00 |
| expunge | aarcane_: how'd you delete it? | 02:00 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, rm -rf * | 02:01 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: /run/ is a tmpfs so just reboot and everything will be fine | 02:02 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, I was attempting to repair a non-booting machine, but it's since become apaprent some of the contents of /run are actually important beyond just runtime... | 02:02 |
| === The is now known as The_Real_SysRq | ||
| aarcane_ | TJ-, so the problem is probably somewhere else then.. | 02:02 |
| expunge | aarcane_: you were in /run/ when you ran that? | 02:03 |
| alfonsojon | Hi, I'm doing some theme development (porting Dust to GTK3), where can I get started? | 02:03 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: Some symlinks are created from other places: e.g. /var/run -> /run | 02:03 |
| expunge | alfonsojon: there're some gtk chans, but there might be more on irc.gnome.org | 02:04 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, yes. I knew what I intended to do, but it's had some unintended side-effects | 02:04 |
| alfonsojon | expunge: fantastic, thanks. | 02:04 |
| expunge | aarcane_: sure, just want to know exactly what happened | 02:04 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, so this system boots over nfs, and after a recent power outtage, it's failed to boot. | 02:07 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, so as a temporary solution and response to some of the on-screen text, I attempted to clear out /var/run, and because /var/run is a symlink, /run. | 02:07 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: what messages are being reported? | 02:08 |
| expunge | a recent power outage where the data actually is? | 02:08 |
| aarcane_ | expunge, it's in the bedroom, so yeah. power outage on both the NFS server and the network booted system. | 02:09 |
| aarcane_ | TJ-, messages about programs not starting because of existing instances. pid#s listed, and they corresponded to entries in /var/run when I inspected it. then it hung. I think it was a red herring, because those messages are all cleared up and I'm still encountering errors. | 02:10 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: OK... if the tmpfs failed to mount on /run/ at some point, the underlying root file-system's /run/ directory might actually contain files that are causing the hiccup | 02:11 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: If working on a non-live system that is easy to check, by simply mounting the root file-system someplace else and looking in its /run/ directory. | 02:11 |
| aarcane_ | TJ-, I just solved the problem | 02:11 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: phew! that saved me some typing! | 02:12 |
| aarcane_ | TJ-, expunge: The problem was this: A recent package install auto added network-manager. When network-manager started, it gave no consideration to the fact that the system was an nfsroot system, and modified the network device settings. Whenever network-manager would start, some time shortly after that, the system would freeze, sometimes printing stack traces; sometimes simply hanging indefinitely. | 02:13 |
| aarcane_ | TJ-, expunge: Now that I've manually disabled network-manager, and cleaned out /run in a more appropriate way and added it to fstab explicitly, the system boots stablely and reproducibly. | 02:14 |
| TJ- | aarcane_: Yay... we like success stories :) | 02:15 |

| TJ- | sgtlaggy: "dd if-/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdXY bs=1M" ... X == drive letter, Y == partition number, e.g. of=/dev/sdi2 | 02:18 |
| nahtnam | I wanted to buy a laptop from System 76. I read about a lot of good reviews, then I found a reddit thread filled with a lot of bad ones. Do you think I should get one from System 76? If not, which laptop should I get? I am looking for i7 + 16 gb of ram + atleast Intel 4600 graphics | 02:18 |
| nahtnam | Must come with ubuntu | 02:19 |
| alfonsojon | nahtnam: With those requirements, it's System76 or bust. | 02:19 |
| TJ- | sgtlaggy: typo: "dd if=/path/to/file.iso ..." | 02:19 |
| nahtnam | alfonsojon: So do you think its worth getting? | 02:19 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, I have one it does have faults but I like it all the same and overall no major issues | 02:19 |
| nahtnam | wafflejock: What kind of faults? | 02:19 |
| alfonsojon | nahtnam: I think so, personally | 02:19 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, from what I understand they resell Clevo laptops so if you are on a budget perhaps check those out too | 02:19 |
| alfonsojon | They're not Macbook Pros, obviously | 02:20 |
| sgtlaggy | TJ-: all the links i found said you couldn't dd to a specific partition. maybe that's just old news or something different. and i think my problem was i didn't isohybrid it correctly the first time. thanks! | 02:20 |
| cynicallemon | nahtnam: theres always lenovo | 02:20 |
| alfonsojon | They're honestly above most Windows laptops in my opinion in terms of quality of build | 02:20 |
| nahtnam | alfonsojon: Which model do you have? | 02:20 |
| TJ- | sgtlaggy: sounds like people who don't know a thing about what they write! The whole point of 'dd' is it can write *anywhere* | 02:20 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, just sensitivity problems with the touchpad doesn't deal with 3 monitor output (this isn't a huge deal but I only found Kubuntu to properly restore my desktop config on reboot with two external monitors) | 02:20 |
| alfonsojon | nahtnam: None, personally | 02:21 |
| alfonsojon | But I've used a friend's for a few days | 02:21 |
| alfonsojon | It was nice. | 02:21 |
| nahtnam | alfonsojon: Sorry, meant to ask wafflejock. What model do you have? | 02:21 |

| wafflejock | graphics are surpringly good for Intel chipset though too | 02:23 |
| nahtnam | wafflejock: Kk, and finally do they have good customer support and warranty and what not? | 02:23 |
| wafflejock | HD video is no problem | 02:23 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, regarding support I really haven't had to call them so I can't say | 02:24 |
| nahtnam | wafflejock: Kk. I guess ill take the risk and hopefully if something messes up, they will take returns or fix it | 02:24 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, the touchpad stuff I found a workaround for on Unity and then on KDE, just installed GNOME Ubuntu, but for the most part i use an external everything anyway | 02:24 |
| nahtnam | wafflejock: Same, but I do ocasionally use the touchpad so if it doesnt work, ill have to get it fixed. | 02:25 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, it works it just picks up palm touches | 02:25 |
| wafflejock | nahtnam, there are scripts to ignore those though | 02:25 |
| wafflejock | or settings | 02:25 |
| sgtlaggy | if anyone knows anything about syslinux/isohybrid: if i'm "converting" an iso to use it on the second partition, should the offset be the start of the second partition or end of the first? or something with the blocks? | 02:25 |

| ubottu | darkelfjuggalo: flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 11.2.202.394ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 6 kB, installed size 137 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 02:49 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I need this for the System Flash though[would the tarball file from adboe be better for this purpose] I have my chrome built in with the latest available flash, but my browser games crash if the Browser based plugin is enabled | 02:51 |
| stikkemz | expunge: took a glimpse over it, but i must have missed this bit: The game required the following winetricks: | 02:51 |
| stikkemz | - corefonts (fixed issue with game crashing when starting) | 02:51 |
| stikkemz | - flash11 (fixed issue with no menus showing up after starting game) | 02:51 |
| stikkemz | lemme check that out | 02:51 |
| expunge | mmm, winetricks is handy | 02:52 |

| stikkemz | expunge: Q: in order to use a package i need to install it from the Package Installer first, ye? | 02:55 |
| stikkemz | expunge: I can't seem to find corefonts in the install list,and flash11.. I did find flash (Flash Player 12) ? | 02:58 |
| stikkemz | expunge: again, do I need to find them here or just set them in the WineTricks | 02:58 |

| martin1989 | sorry.. | 03:01 |

| Tin_man | as tin_man goes to bed, i'll leave you with a link.. | 03:02 |
| edition | !help | 03:02 |
| stikkemz | well that link you told me about tells me that i need to install corefonts and flash11.. corefonts seems to be in the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package | 03:02 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 03:02 |

| expunge | stikkemz: winetricks is a script | 03:02 |
| edition | then install it | 03:02 |
| expunge | stikkemz: which takes arguments like 'flash11' and 'corefonts' | 03:02 |
| stikkemz | so i dont need to install those | 03:02 |
| stikkemz | i just need to add them | 03:02 |
| expunge | stikkemz: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks | 03:02 |

| MetalGearNinja | hey guys im new to ubuntu so plz excuse this if its a dumb question but doesn anyone know if there is a way to install an apple recognized itunes? | 03:06 |
| MetalGearNinja | i do a lot with my 5s and am really missing my itunes | 03:07 |
| stikkemz | so i added those arguments to wineconfig in the libraries, also added d3d9 | 03:07 |
| phunyguy | MetalGearNinja: VirtualBox with USB passthrough, and Windows XP or 7 inside. | 03:07 |
| phunyguy | it's the "only way" | 03:07 |
| MetalGearNinja | hmm ok thnx | 03:08 |
| stikkemz | and still same error "The game can not start. The problem might be related to your version of Direct3d" | 03:08 |

| expunge | MetalGearNinja: one or two versions work via Wine as well, but VirtualBox is "simpler" | 03:09 |
| expunge | MetalGearNinja: what do you actually use in iTunes? | 03:09 |
| stikkemz | expunge: also dxdiag.exe doesnt run..you want me to pastebin what it says? | 03:10 |

| blackwings | greetings | 03:19 |
| stikkemz | expunge: same direct3d error upon launch | 03:19 |
| blackwings | anyone here that could answer a question of mine ? | 03:19 |
| expunge | blackwings: no, but some people are that could | 03:19 |
| blackwings | hmm, ok, ill just go ahead and state it | 03:19 |
| blackwings | im looking for something like a windows widget to display the songs i listen in my media player | 03:20 |
| blackwings | on the desktop | 03:20 |
| blackwings | with album cover and change buttons | 03:20 |
| phunyguy | blackwings: the indicator applet that comes with ubuntu does that already | 03:20 |
| phunyguy | you just have to click the volume icon. | 03:20 |
| blackwings | yes but its not on desktop | 03:20 |
| blackwings | im using dual screen, i got used to that way of using it since windows | 03:21 |
| blackwings | i change the songs easier that way | 03:21 |
| phunyguy | conky with hotkeys to control? | 03:21 |
| blackwings | that could work but i dont think there's gonna be a album cover | 03:21 |
| blackwings | also its gonna be hard to find a good script for less-known players | 03:21 |
| expunge | blackwings: this is ordinary Ubuntu you're using? What version? | 03:22 |
| blackwings | latest | 03:22 |
| blackwings | 14 | 03:23 |
| expunge | blackwings: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/coverbox-puts-music-artwork-controls-on-the-ubuntu-desktop ? | 03:24 |
| blackwings | tried that one aleardy | 03:24 |
| expunge | and? | 03:24 |
| blackwings | E: Unable to locate package canberra-gtk-module | 03:24 |
| blackwings | i get that in the terminal when trying to get the packages | 03:24 |
| expunge | it's called libcanberra-gtk-module | 03:25 |
| expunge | you have it installed? (dpkg -l | grep -i canberra) | 03:25 |
| blackwings | hmm | 03:25 |
| blackwings | not sure | 03:25 |
| stikkemz | expunge: any idea why i get errors when i run dxdiag.exe? | 03:25 |
| blackwings | its exe | 03:25 |
| expunge | stikkemz: run how? What errors? | 03:26 |
| expunge | blackwings: hrmm? | 03:26 |
| blackwings | im kinda new to ubuntu ,expunge, you're gonna have to tell me what i need to look for | 03:26 |
| stikkemz | expunge: well i asked you if I should pastebin you the damn thing and you said no :( | 03:26 |
| expunge | blackwings: run 'dpkg -l | grep -i canberra), see if you see libcanberra-gtk-module | 03:26 |
| expunge | stikkemz: so don't | 03:27 |
| blackwings | libcanberra-gtk-module:amd64 | 03:27 |
| blackwings | i got that | 03:27 |
| OerHeks | stikkemz, direct3D is a wine issue | 03:28 |

| expunge | blackwings: not really =) | 03:28 |
| blackwings | then how shall i proceed? | 03:29 |
| expunge | blackwings: what's the error, again? | 03:29 |
| stikkemz | OerHeks: ok.. so there is nothing to be done about it? | 03:29 |
| blackwings | E: Unable to locate package canberra-gtk-module | 03:29 |

| expunge | blackwings: just remove the 'canberra-gtk-module' from that, and try again | 03:29 |
| stikkemz | i see people who made this game run, but following their instructions didn;t cut it for me | 03:29 |
| blackwings | ok lemme try | 03:29 |
| expunge | stikkemz: the particular Wine version can be very important | 03:30 |
| expunge | also following steps exactly... | 03:30 |
| blackwings | ok it works, expunge | 03:30 |

| chaosbringer | Hello all, I'm having issues finding a straight forward guide to set-up raid 0 before installing ubuntu | 03:34 |
| blackwings | ok expunge, i installed the application | 03:34 |
| theitus | files yes i cant find how to open abode flash | 03:34 |
| blackwings | how do i run it ? | 03:34 |
| blackwings | nvm found it, expunge, thanks for your help | 03:35 |
| theitus | how to run abode | 03:35 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: raid 0 is quite a bad idea | 03:35 |
| chaosbringer | I have a 250GB SSD and 2 3TB hdds.... trying to install ubuntu-gnome but set-up raid 0 on the 2 3TB HDDs before installing | 03:35 |
| chaosbringer | expunge, why exactly is it a bad idea? | 03:35 |
| expunge | theitus: what are you trying to "run"? | 03:35 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: raid 0 | 03:35 |
| chaosbringer | expunge, why exactly is it a bad idea? | 03:35 |
| stikkemz | right... will stop wasting my time here. cheers | 03:35 |
| theitus | adobe flash player | 03:35 |
| rasteroid | expunge: je t'en prie, tu devrais pas essayer de parler en francais avec moi | 03:36 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: because the whole point of raid 0 is to get enterprise level access out of a patheticly small amount of consumer level hardware | 03:36 |
| blackwings | thanks for the help expunge | 03:36 |
| theitus | its kinda killing me | 03:36 |
| expunge | it's paradoxically bad | 03:36 |
| chaosbringer | pourquoi | 03:36 |
| jorge | why is ubuntu not letting me access facebook? | 03:37 |
| expunge | theitus: adobe flash player isn't something you ... "run" | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | expunge | 03:37 |
| expunge | theitus: it's a plugin for browsers, mainly | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | the point of raid 0 is to stripe the drives | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | to make them seem as one | 03:37 |
| expunge | rasteroid: ikr | 03:37 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: it's not bad, i run lots of RAID0 SSD setups, both at home and at work | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | intead of 2 3TB i'd get 1 6TB partition | 03:37 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: no, that is just part of raid 0 | 03:37 |
| expunge | the point is to sacrifice reliability for access speed | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | Ok, opinion to the side expunge | 03:37 |
| expunge | ok | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | do you have a guide at how to do it? | 03:37 |
| expunge | raid 0? | 03:37 |
| theitus | i downloaded it it will not work | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | any raid | 03:37 |
| chaosbringer | for gnome-shell prior to install guide | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | will work | 03:38 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer 'man mdadm' | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | as long as it's straight forward | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | yeah, i looked at mdadm | 03:38 |
| theitus | yeah a plugin to movie right | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | but it looks like it's not "straight forward": example, i saw issues with grub in the forums, etc | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | and the need to boot into another live CD after | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | to fix it | 03:38 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 03:38 |
| theitus | play | 03:38 |
| chaosbringer | expunge, Note: This page is about Ubuntu 9.10. It may not apply to newer versions anymore. | 03:39 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: sudo mdadm -C /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde --level=raid0 | 03:39 |
| chaosbringer | Looked at that as well | 03:39 |
| chaosbringer | rasteroid, is that all? | 03:39 |
| chaosbringer | so for me wanting two: | 03:39 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: all of those devices are plextor SSDs on an LSI HBA | 03:39 |
| rasteroid | yes | 03:39 |
| expunge | chaosbringer: you should look into JBOD | 03:40 |
| chaosbringer | And ubuntu picks it up right away? (I already partitioned them to be the same size unformatted | 03:40 |
| rasteroid | expunge: i run mongo on top of that | 03:40 |
| expunge | or just LVM | 03:40 |
| expunge | rasteroid: heh, I bet you do | 03:40 |
| expunge | I bet it's web scale | 03:40 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: well, you need to mount it | 03:40 |
| rasteroid | expunge: not to say i don't have lots of magnetic RAID6 on real controllers as well... | 03:41 |
| chaosbringer | You can mount and format the md0 device with gparted prior to installing with a livecd yeah? | 03:43 |
| nico_ | chaosbringer: hi ( sorry for my bad english ) . i like too to build ubuntu in rai partition , and i know how to do this only with the .iso of ubuntu 12.04 alternate ....now i discover is possible to do ( for 14.04 trusty tahr ) whit the .iso of the server edition , durin the install is possible to add " ubuntu desktop " , gnome desktop, lubuntu , xubuntu ..... ( sorry new time is the first time i enter in irc ) | 03:43 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: yes, and you should 'mklabel gpt' | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | K, yeah i'll need gpt anyways because msdos only sees 2TB | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | and both my drives are 3TB | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | I only use nix OS's anyways | 03:44 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: why do you want RAID0? why not RAID1? | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | Because I want all 6TB | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | raid 1 mirrors | 03:44 |
| chaosbringer | I am a software architect | 03:45 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: i'm well aware | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | so | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | I need tons of space | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | for different virtual boxes, etc | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | I've turned my PC into a workstation essentially with 32TB of ram and all the latest hardware | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | i'll add more HDDs eventually | 03:45 |
| chaosbringer | You'd recommend both 10? | 03:46 |
| expunge | you want JBOD, not RAID | 03:46 |
| chaosbringer | expunge | 03:47 |
| expunge | RAID is not for getting more space, that is just an occasional side effect | 03:47 |
| chaosbringer | i've partitioned multiple drives | 03:47 |
| chaosbringer | to boot into the same OS before | 03:47 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: i think expunge is right :-) | 03:47 |
| chaosbringer | in fact, i will also have an SSD boot my os | 03:47 |
| chaosbringer | but I don't want 2 x 3TB i wanted 1 6TB | 03:47 |
| chaosbringer | isn't the only way of doing that with raid? | 03:47 |
| expunge | you can tell your system you have 1 6TB without using raid | 03:47 |
| expunge | no, it isn't | 03:48 |

| chaosbringer | I do have an extra 2TB drive, maybe I could do 4TB in stripped and 4 TB in mirror | 03:48 |
| user7654 | (I'm trying to backup what's left of a dead laptop) | 03:49 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: i think this is what you want: 'mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=linear --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdc3 ' | 03:49 |
| chaosbringer | how complex would be to set that up with 3 Drives? (2 x 3TB + 1 2TB) | 03:49 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I made a huge mistake. | 03:50 |
| expunge | look into LVM spanning | 03:50 |

| chaosbringer | lotuspsychje, sure! | 03:52 |
| lotuspsychje | GandalfGreyHat: did you try single ubuntu on your machine? | 03:52 |
| thecodethinker | I think there's a config file that lets me define the right click area | 03:52 |
| thecodethinker | but I can't seem to find it | 03:53 |

| GandalfGreyHat | Fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install | 03:53 |
| expunge | allenrm: if you don't like it you can switch back | 03:53 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: the difference between RAID0 and linear is; the first one makes things faster, but if you lose one you lose them all, the second one just makes all the space on all the drives available. | 03:53 |

| GandalfGreyHat | I think it's loading into some kind of Windows 8 Bootloader thing or something first | 03:53 |
| allenrm | thanks | 03:53 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I have no idea how this windows 8 crap works and it's more than pissing me off | 03:53 |
| expunge | advx_: and you | 03:53 |
| chaosbringer | rasteroid, i'm writing up the config I want with all the drives I have available (taking me a bit to type it! :) ) | 03:54 |
| chaosbringer | lotuspsychje, thanks! | 03:54 |
| expunge | GandalfGreyHat: but you do have an idea of how it works: poorly =) | 03:54 |
| allenrm | i have had this build running for a few months now, and don't want to muck it up, BUT i used to run Mint and really liked the cinnamon DE | 03:54 |
| advx_ | expunge, thanks | 03:54 |
| expunge | allenrm: back it up first? | 03:55 |
| lotuspsychje | GandalfGreyHat: try disable secureboot and install ubuntu clean | 03:55 |
| GandalfGreyHat | So from the top down here's what I had. I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 8. It worked, but very poorly. I wanted to use GRUB exclusively, but the Windows Bootloader takes priority over GRUB somehow, I could never get around that. I tried to install Ubuntu on an SSD and use it in the machine earlier today, and now I have this error and I can't get around it, and I want to just throw this entire system in the gar | 03:55 |
| chaosbringer | rasteroid, if i want something like this: | 03:56 |
| chaosbringer | 1x250SSD (For main os) | 03:56 |
| chaosbringer | 2x3TBHDD + 1x2TBHDD partitioned like this = 1 4TB Raid 10 | 03:56 |
| chaosbringer | How would that look? | 03:56 |
| allenrm | expunge, i have everything backed up | 03:56 |
| chaosbringer | I'd mount /home /var /opt and a few others to the 4TB partition from the HDDs | 03:56 |
| GandalfGreyHat | If I installed Ubuntu flat out, and somehow miraculously get it to work, can I ever go back to wIndows 8 if I want to? | 03:56 |
| chaosbringer | that would give me back the fault tolerance while gaining the performance of raid 0 | 03:56 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I want the option, not that I'd actually do it | 03:57 |
| chriys | hey guys | 03:57 |
| chriys | this the command I used: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1936 -j ACCEPT | 03:57 |
| chriys | I'm trying to open some port on my iptables but for some reasons it does really work | 03:57 |
| chriys | this the command I used: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1936 -j ACCEPT | 03:57 |
| tekkitindisguise | Hi | 03:57 |
| expunge | hi tekk | 03:57 |
| lotuspsychje | !iptables | chriys | 03:58 |
| ubottu | chriys: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 03:58 |
| expunge | GandalfGreyHat: if you do it right | 03:58 |
| rasteroid | chaosbringer: RAID10 requires 4 drives. you should check wikipedia for RAID. what you might want is the 3TB drives in RAID1 for backup, and the 1TBs in RAID0 for speed, using rsync to keep the current working data backed up to the redundant volume | 03:58 |
| ahsm_ | hello | 03:58 |
| expunge | ahsm_: heya | 03:58 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I mean, is the EFI literally on the system board or something? | 03:58 |
| ahsm | hey expunge | 03:58 |
| tekkitindisguise | Anyone tried zorin? | 03:58 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I need to understand why this Windows 8 Bootloader keeps kicking me in the dick | 03:58 |
| chaosbringer | rsync? that seems hackish | 03:58 |
| chaosbringer | Also, I don't have a 1TB i think you mean 2TB | 03:58 |
| expunge | GandalfGreyHat: question for #windows, I fear | 03:58 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGeyHat: it's because different BIOSes only look in different directories for 8.efi files | 03:59 |
| expunge | GandalfGreyHat: efi is partly firmware, yes | 03:59 |
| rasteroid | *.efi files | 03:59 |
| chriys | lotuspsychje: I did those steps | 03:59 |
| GandalfGreyHat | .#windows is about as useless as a holy condom | 03:59 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 03:59 |
| tekkitindisguise | turn of secure boot | 03:59 |
| tekkitindisguise | turn off secure boot | 03:59 |
| nicolinus | hi :) chaosbringer ( sorry for my bad english ) i like to run ubuntu in raid , before i know to do this only whit the .iso of ubuntu 12.04 alternate.... the versions after not create raid array...but i discover is possible to do whit the . iso ( for trusty tahr ) of the server edition , durin the installation is possible to create raid array , ald vlm to have the possibility to add new volume group after iunstallation....durin the install is possible to add | 03:59 |
| nicolinus | ubuntu desktop , gnome desktop , xubuntu , lubuntu , ubuntu studio ...... | 03:59 |
| chriys | lotuspsychje: I'm still getting the same issue my iptables shows that the rules are added. But When I test the ports it doesn't work. | 03:59 |
| chaosbringer | kk | 04:00 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: have you tried using BootRepair? | 04:00 |
| GandalfGreyHat | the windows automatic boot repair is bollocks | 04:00 |
| expunge | mmhmm | 04:00 |
| GandalfGreyHat | if there's an ubuntu boot repair, I'd use it, if I could get ubuntu to boot | 04:00 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: no, the Ubuntu one | 04:00 |
| tekkitindisguise | GET RID OF SECURE BOOT | 04:00 |
| expunge | GandalfGreyHat: well you aren't going to get much win32 bsod help in #ubuntu | 04:00 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: look for a liveCD that includes it, and turn off secure boot in the BIOS | 04:00 |
| lotuspsychje | i never understand why users wanna mess with dualboots | 04:01 |
| GandalfGreyHat | How do I get into my BIOS? | 04:01 |
| tekkitindisguise | Just get rid of windows | 04:01 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I'm clueless man, all the typical bios buttons aren't working | 04:01 |
| chaosbringer | so rasteroid linear it is | 04:01 |
| TaZeR | restore windows with cmd line repair tool bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot | 04:01 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: usually you hold down the 'delete' key when it start | 04:01 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I want to just take a hammer to it | 04:01 |
| GandalfGreyHat | lotus, I don't want to dual boot anymore | 04:01 |
| TaZeR | the autmaotic one sucks | 04:01 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I jsut want Ubuntu | 04:01 |
| lotuspsychje | GandalfGreyHat: did you try single install ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| GandalfGreyHat | what's single install? | 04:02 |
| expunge | that's academic if you can't boot any OS | 04:02 |
| lotuspsychje | ive been able to install 14.04 on many machines with uefi, working out of the box | 04:02 |
| tekkitindisguise | Overwrite windows with ubuntu | 04:02 |
| === allen is now known as allenrm | ||
| GandalfGreyHat | I have an SSD in the unit with nothing but a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it | 04:02 |
| GandalfGreyHat | The machine will not boot it | 04:03 |
| allenrm | expunge, thanks man, install went smooth, all "seems" to be normal | 04:03 |
| expunge | allenrm: =) | 04:03 |
| TJ- | GandalfGreyHat: On an UEFI system the boot menu is stored in the non-volatile RAM of the motherboard's firmware. When you installed 12.04 alongside Windows 8 my guess would be it was installed in legacy mode. In UEFI mode the firmware presents the list of boot options, and OSes can add themselves to that list if they boot in EFI mode. That is what Windows will have done so it takes precedence. Ubuntu would likely require you to use CSM mode to boot the HDD with GR | 04:03 |
| TJ- | UB installed in its MBR. | 04:03 |
| nicolinus | hi :) sorry for my bad english ( is the first time i entry in xchat :) ) | 04:03 |
| tekkitindisguise | Why not trusty? | 04:03 |
| lotuspsychje | GandalfGreyHat: start over again, install 14.04 as only Os on your lenovo | 04:03 |
| tekkitindisguise | Yes | 04:03 |
| GandalfGreyHat | TJ-: thank you very much for that | 04:03 |
| GandalfGreyHat | That's the type of information I was looking for | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | So I just need to rip off my NVRAM | 04:04 |
| TJ- | GandalfGreyHat: No | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | and smash it with a hammer | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | hahahahaha | 04:04 |
| expunge | heh | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I was joking | 04:04 |
| allenrm | expunge, i'm still learning the ropes, i keep trying new things as i feel thats the only way i will learn. | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | But yes, I understand now | 04:04 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I'll go back over and attempt to fix it in a minute | 04:05 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I have no idea how to access or manipulate my EFI though | 04:05 |
| expunge | allenrm: well there's nothing wrong with using backups to make you feel safe =) | 04:05 |
| GandalfGreyHat | so if something's broken in that, not sure what to do | 04:05 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: in the BIOS menu, you can determine what you startup volumes are. if you set UEFI the system can only boot UEFI, if you set legacy it can boot older volumes | 04:05 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: if you want to use UEFI you must start the installer as a UEFI volume | 04:06 |
| GandalfGreyHat | So here's what I'm going to try to do | 04:06 |
| TJ- | GandalfGreyHat: You need to boot the Ubuntu ISO installer in UEFI mode rather than CSM mode, then Ubuntu will install in the same way as Windows did, and all OSes you may choose to install later will be chosen via UEFO boot menu, with no interference between the OS boot-loaders, as used to be the case with BIOS legacy (UEFI CSM - Compatibility Support Module) and GRUB vs Windows in MBR | 04:06 |
| GandalfGreyHat | Get into BIOS, turn on Legacy, turn off Secure Boot, and attempt to boot from my Ubuntu 12.04 SSD | 04:06 |
| allenrm | the only backup i'm really worried about is my photo's and those are on a couple external drives hehe | 04:06 |
| dopie | hey im currently using ssh and im inside my site , how do i download a file to a specific location on my hard drive? | 04:06 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: when you change these options and restart and re-enter BIOS setup you will see that the boot options change | 04:06 |
| lotuspsychje | it depends on the machine really, some machines can install ubuntu without changing uefi settings | 04:06 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: that sounds good | 04:06 |
| expunge | dopie: from your local machine: scp user@localsite:path/to/file . | 04:06 |
| dopie | scp? | 04:07 |
| GandalfGreyHat | TJ- I've given up on Windows 8 dual boot, I just want Ubuntu only on this system now. | 04:07 |
| expunge | dopie: or, the less awful way: mkdir whatever; sshfs user@localsite whatever; cp whatever/path/to/file . | 04:07 |
| expunge | dopie: yup | 04:07 |
| rasteroid | dopie: secure copy | 04:07 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I have plenty of other Windows computers, but having Ubuntu on this one is important. We use it as a fancy shmancy ubuntu server | 04:07 |
| expunge | it's just 'cp' over ssh | 04:07 |
| GandalfGreyHat | rsync? | 04:07 |
| expunge | rsync? | 04:08 |
| TJ- | GandalfGreyHat: I'd recommend installing 14.04 LTS then; the ISO will boot in UEFI mode natively too (as long as you choose that from the offers in the mobo's boot-menu) :) | 04:08 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: remote sync | 04:08 |
| GandalfGreyHat | alright | 04:08 |
| GandalfGreyHat | going to try 14.04 | 04:08 |
| rasteroid | GandalfGreyHat: usually invoked by a CRON job | 04:08 |
| rasteroid | expunge: rsync? | 04:09 |
| TJ- | GandalfGreyHat: Ubuntu will work with UEFI Secure Boot too, although it doesn't hurt to turn that darned thing off if you don't need it | 04:09 |
| expunge | rasteroid: rsync? | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: lol | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | uefi is a bad nightmare invention indeed | 04:09 |
| rasteroid | can someone please tell me how to get my *upgraded* precise->trusty box to use nvidia drivers without freaking out? | 04:10 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 04:10 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 04:10 |
| rasteroid | lotuspsychje: t'is not | 04:10 |
| TJ- | lotuspsychje: I love it compared to the multiboot nightmares of BIOS legacy, but Secure Boot can cause problems if you need Nvidia or AMD proprietary GPU drivers | 04:10 |
| rasteroid | TJ: +1 | 04:10 |
| expunge | it's exactly the same as BIOS, except that more learning is required | 04:10 |
| expunge | same problems | 04:11 |
| GandalfGreyHat | multiboot was easier on legacy bios | 04:11 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I understand writing and configuring a GRUB bootloader | 04:11 |
| rasteroid | and the manufacturers don't always follow the rules, Sony being particularly bad | 04:11 |
| GandalfGreyHat | but this newfangled shit is garbage | 04:11 |
| TJ- | It's better than BIOS in my opinion... being able to have a really powerful shell from firmware makes things so much easier to fix when things get really bad | 04:11 |
| rasteroid | TJ: +2 | 04:11 |
| IdleOne | GandalfGreyHat: Please keep the language clean | 04:11 |
| expunge | well it makes moving the mouse around easier | 04:11 |
| TJ- | And UEFI provides for dynamical loading of device driver modules | 04:12 |
| expunge | how that is important to booting is beyond me | 04:12 |
| GandalfGreyHat | My apologies | 04:12 |
| GandalfGreyHat | I forgot that Ubuntu is family friendly | 04:12 |
| rasteroid | expunge: i think it means that you can net boot from a command prompt if you know the language | 04:12 |
| TJ- | UEFI is not the same as a GUI firmware... the GUI is something manufacturers add to BIOS *or* UEFI to make it easier for novice users to work with | 04:13 |
| expunge | rasteroid: you can do that without u/efi, too, though | 04:13 |
| expunge | TJ-: mmm, but that's the only plus =P | 04:13 |
| TJ- | UEFI Shell provides many powerful tools, like a GRUB or Linux rescue disk, built-in | 04:13 |
| expunge | grub does that on its own, though | 04:14 |
| expunge | pretty crufty if you ask me | 04:14 |
| rasteroid | expunge: without loading anything that isn't on the board? | 04:14 |
| TJ- | export: GRUB is *not* needed when we have UEFI ... Linux can be booted directly from UEFI | 04:14 |
| expunge | rasteroid: it's all on the board, somewhere | 04:14 |
| tekkitindisguise | Change the boot device | 04:14 |
| expunge | TJ-: yeah, but uefi isn't needed if grub can do it, either | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | well i dont like uefi, im almost sure there's an evil pact behind with w8 and manufacturs | 04:14 |
| expunge | lotuspsychje: oh there is =) | 04:15 |
| rasteroid | expunge: i'm going to quote you, "it's all on the board, expunge said". | 04:15 |
| TJ- | expunge: UEFI is needed, it configures the hardware. Without it, you've got an expensive pile of sandy components | 04:15 |
| expunge | rasteroid: be my guest | 04:15 |
| expunge | TJ-: or BIOS | 04:15 |
| expunge | or coreboot =) | 04:15 |
| TJ- | expunge: BIOS cannot do what UEFI can do, the reason we moved away from it was it had to contain amazing amounts of 16-bit compatible code | 04:16 |
| expunge | sure it can | 04:16 |
| expunge | I don't think that is the reason =) | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | my old amd 3200+ 64bit trusty desktop with bios, running rocketfast nothing like those slow w8 boxes | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | years old hardware... | 04:16 |
| rasteroid | lotuspsychje: certain manus, like sony, do all sorts of things to make it difficult to override their efi modules | 04:16 |
| expunge | lotuspsychje: yes, it's not rocket science | 04:16 |
| as73790 | zz | 04:17 |
| as73790 | :q | 04:17 |
| TJ- | The nice thing with UEFI too is you can install your own shell; I install the Tianocore V2 shell on everything... think of it like BASH; with scripts and so on in files on a proper file-system, before the OS | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: with what purpose exactly? | 04:18 |
| expunge | yes, finally a shell you can use instead of just booting your OS... | 04:18 |
| expunge | amazing | 04:18 |
| expunge | and not at all crufty | 04:18 |
| chriys | does anyone knows Red5 here | 04:19 |
| lotuspsychje | chriys: whats that | 04:20 |
| TJ- | lotuspsychje: The 'E' stands for extensible. I can plug in some adapter, add its UEFI device-driver into the ESP, load it from shell (shell boot script) and have that device available for use before any boot loader or OS starts. In the BIOS days, that kind of device often meant it couldn't be a boot device, as was the case with e.g. many fakeRAID controllers | 04:20 |
| chriys | lotuspsychje: it's a media server | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: ah i see tnx | 04:21 |
| chriys | check red5.org | 04:21 |
| expunge | chriys: try #polls | 04:24 |
| TJ- | One part of UEFI users's don't see though, is the properly designed API for the OS to talk even in 64-bit protected mode. With legacy BIOS the CPU would have to switch back to x86 Real mode with some expensive context switching. Now it is just like another syscall. | 04:24 |
| expunge | that's true, users do not see a properly designed UEFI | 04:24 |

| sacrelicious | hey guys i need help, how can i get a copy of gparted that will work on 13.04? | 04:26 |
| TJ- | It's nice you can see the contents of the UEFI's NVRAM via /sys/firmware/efi/efivars, for example. You can't do that with BIOS, even BIOS minor revisions can store their settings in different binary bits, and no-one except the manufacturers know what is there, and can't get at it to change if the BIOS is buggy | 04:26 |
| expunge | sacrelicious: sudo apt-get install gparted | 04:26 |

| TJ- | sacrelicious: If you're using 13.04 you'll need to switch the "/etc/apt/sources.list" to use the archives at "http://old-releases.ubuntu/com" instead of the usual archives, since 13.04 is EOL | 04:37 |
| lotuspsychje | redeleven: goto lubuntu or xubuntu | 04:37 |
| sacrelicious | TJ-: how do i do that? | 04:37 |
| blackwings | eyo,. im back | 04:37 |
| TJ- | redeleven: I've got machines with 384MB that do OK | 04:37 |
| redeleven | Okay, trying to bring life back to this ancient Vaio | 04:37 |
| blackwings | redeleven do you use gnome 3.10 ? | 04:38 |
| lotuspsychje | redeleven: lubuntu will revive your machine for sure :p | 04:38 |
| blackwings | do you have any idea how i can put the terminal transparency back on ? | 04:38 |
| advx_ | Bye...Have a great day... | 04:38 |
| TJ- | sacrelicious: "sudo sed -i 's,http://.*archive\.,http://old-releases.,' /etc/apt/sources.list" then "sudo apt-get update" | 04:39 |
| sacrelicious | i'm so confused right now... i just want to figure out a way to upgrade to the current version to my computer actually functions again | 04:39 |
| TJ- | redeleven: I've got a couple of SRX51P that still do OK; you may need to use a Debian kernel though, because some of the older models don't support PAE (which is required with Ubuntu 32-bit kernels) | 04:40 |
| chubboes | sacrelicious: goto www.ubuntu.com get ISO disk image of new ubuntu | 04:40 |
| chubboes | burn it to disk | 04:40 |
| sacrelicious | chubboes: i did. I can not burn it for some reason | 04:41 |
| chubboes | hehehehehehe | 04:41 |
| redeleven | Sounds good, I will check it all out. Appreciate the help | 04:41 |
| chubboes | are you for real | 04:41 |
| rasteroid | sacrelicious: install unetbootin and use it to create a USB bootable drive | 04:41 |
| jenenliu | ;) | 04:42 |
| chubboes | sacrelicious: run it! | 04:42 |
| chubboes | sacrelicious: You have local computer repair shops? | 04:43 |

| absk007 | which FS partition should be on a fast drive other than /home? i keep some heavy apps in /opt so that will be on a fast drive too. What else should be on a fast drive for good perf.? | 05:32 |
| Beldar | absk007, The configs for some are in home I would just have the whole OS there myself, keep it simple the differentials are so small anyway if spinning HD's. | 05:34 |
| absk007 | Beldar, i'm low on space. I've a fast 7.42 GB thumb drv. and a Class 4 16 GB microSD Card. Where to put what? | 05:34 |
| Beldar | absk007, Why no internal? | 05:35 |
| chriys | Everytime I try to install a package I get this error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 05:36 |
| absk007 | Beldar, 320GB HDD burnt it running Win 7 Ult. | 05:36 |
| absk007 | chriys, try dpkg --configure -C | 05:37 |
| nicolinus | :) absk007 can be cool to create logical volume manager so is possible to resize the partitions when they are full ?....i use to create usr partition for the apps...but maybe i am wrong... | 05:37 |
| Beldar | absk007, You can only take that speed race so far with that hardware any hardware really, just use it. | 05:37 |
| chriys | absk007: I got this: dpkg: error: conflicting actions -C (--audit) and (--configure) | 05:38 |
| bekks | absk007: Both USB thumb drives and SD cards arent "fast drives", both are awfully slow actually. | 05:38 |
| absk007 | chriys, do either one | 05:38 |
| absk007 | bekks, no options | 05:38 |
| bekks | absk007: In that case it doesnt matter where you put what. | 05:38 |
| chriys | absk007: same issue | 05:39 |
| absk007 | the thumb drv. is a 2.0 one attached to 3.0 port | 05:39 |
| absk007 | chriys, did you try "dpkg --configure" OR "dpkg -C" ? | 05:40 |
| Beldar | chriys, try sudo dpkg --configure -a than sudo apt-get install -f post your sources in a pastebin if you still have problems after. | 05:41 |
| chriys | ok Beldar | 05:41 |
| absk007 | the apt-get fixes many things. | 05:41 |
| Beldar | chriys, And a sudo apt-get update with the sources. | 05:41 |
| chriys | absk007: it ask me to do dpkg --configure package-name | 05:41 |
| chriys | Beldar: what do you mean with the sources | 05:42 |
| absk007 | chriys, just do what Beldar says | 05:42 |
| Beldar | chriys, I said if the two commands do not work post your sources just add a update with it. | 05:42 |

| royalaxe | heyo guys | 05:43 |
| absk007 | chriys, check this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/dpkg-returning-an-error-code-1-a-896225/ | 05:43 |
| chriys | ok | 05:44 |
| bekks | chriys: Whats the exact error you get? | 05:44 |
| Beldar | chriys, you can pull up all your sources with this command. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 05:44 |
| royalaxe | i should goto bash chan but perhaps the answer is here, has anyone ever run vlc from the terminal to play an avi file? | 05:44 |
| chriys | bekks: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 05:44 |
| Beldar | chriys, Follow beck's though I have to take off shortly. | 05:45 |
| bekks | chriys: Thats one line, and not a full error message. :) | 05:45 |
| bekks | chriys: Pastebin the entire output please and provide the URL. | 05:45 |
| chriys | here are my sources http://pastebin.com/iZY0fm2A | 05:45 |
| bekks | chriys: Thats only one part of your sources, you still may have content in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 05:46 |
| chriys | and this is the error after I did apt-get install -f http://pastebin.com/YEd0T1vQ | 05:47 |
| chriys | ok let me check them. | 05:47 |
| bekks | chriys: Whats this "red5-server" all about? | 05:48 |
| chriys | it's a media server. | 05:48 |
| bekks | chriys: So check why it couldnt be started then. | 05:49 |
| chriys | the thing is this error appears whatever package I try to install | 05:49 |
| chriys | even if I purge that package | 05:49 |
| bekks | The thing is, that whatever package is going to be installed, dpkg assumes that the red-5server issue has to be foxed before. | 05:49 |
| bekks | *fixed | 05:49 |
| chriys | oh ok I see. | 05:51 |
| chriys | I just purged the red5-server and installed iptables-persistent | 05:51 |
| chriys | bekks: how can I verify what avoid red5-server to start | 05:52 |
| bekks | chriys: By installing it, waiting for the installation to fail, and checking the postinstall script which is mentioned, and investigating what causes that script to fail. | 05:53 |
| chubboes | How do I become the OWNER and Administrator? | 05:54 |

| chubboes | Ubuntu 14 | 05:55 |

| chubboes | .04 | 05:55 |
| theitus | help with getting and useing adobe flash | 05:56 |
| bekks | chriys: Now you have to investigate /var/lib/dpkg/info/red5-server.postinst and check why it fails. | 05:56 |
| absk007 | theitus, no issue. Just install the "adobe-flashplugin-installer" | 05:56 |
| chubboes | because if I am not the OWNER then I get no access | 05:56 |
| bekks | chubboes: So ask the owner to grant you access. | 05:57 |
| chubboes | okay what do I type to upgade to .10 | 05:57 |
| bekks | chubboes: What exactly is the message you get when doing what exactly? | 05:57 |
| chriys | bekks: what should I look for? | 05:57 |
| bekks | chriys: reasons why it fails. | 05:57 |
| chriys | sorry to ask but I'm really a newbie on this | 05:57 |
| chubboes | after bacula-console-qt installed command "bat" gives permission denied msg? | 05:57 |
| absk007 | theitus, "sudo apt-get install -y flashplugin-installer" | 05:58 |
| adam_ | Hi, I need help. I am not liking the Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, is there a way I can install Xubuntu's or Ubuntu studio's? | 05:58 |
| bekks | chubboes: you need to either a) configure bat to be run as user b) or run bat using gksu bat | 05:58 |
| absk007 | adam_, sure... | 05:58 |
| bekks | chubboes: that has nothing to do with being "owner". | 05:58 |
| adam_ | absk007 How? | 05:58 |
| chubboes | :) | 05:59 |
| bekks | adam_: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 05:59 |
| adam_ | Okay thank you, Bekks | 05:59 |
| theitus | do i put that in just how its typed | 05:59 |
| absk007 | theitus, yep! in terminal you can remove the "-y" flag if you wanna see the download confirmation | 06:00 |
| sparton | adam: what did you not like about the desktop? | 06:00 |
| absk007 | adam_, good that you switching from unity of ubuntu. Canonical managed to insert contextual ads based on your desktop search which means they keep & use your search text for their profit. | 06:02 |
| sparton | absk007: you can disable that | 06:03 |
| adam_ | Well, one. All the ad programs. | 06:03 |
| chriys | bekks: this the /var/lib/dpkg/info/red5-server.postinst http://pastebin.com/PgHFaBMn | 06:03 |
| adam_ | Two, terminal should be sitting there from the get go. | 06:03 |
| absk007 | sparton, sure. By uninstalling 'em. But why enable by default in the 1st place. | 06:03 |
| chriys | Honestly after looking into it I can't tell you if it's right or wrong | 06:03 |
| adam_ | 3, its just hard. | 06:03 |
| adam_ | Xubuntu and Ubuntu studio looks much better and much simpler. | 06:04 |
| absk007 | adam_, sparton, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks | 06:04 |
| adam_ | And the multi desktops | 06:04 |
| adam_ | Just perfect. | 06:04 |
| sparton | adam_ : Xfce and kde play pretty well in 14.04, gnome3 used to break things in other versions. | 06:04 |
| bekks | chriys: So you have to start red5-server and see why it fails. | 06:05 |
| theitus | i didnt get anything | 06:05 |
| adam_ | sparton I admit it is fast. | 06:05 |
| absk007 | theitus, did you try this? "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 06:05 |
| sparton | break things as in with unity......if your goal is to not retain unity that gnome3 is fine | 06:05 |
| bt2bn | hi - i can't seem to find an answer to this question elsewhere - sometimes when i use the show desktop button or minimise in some way I lose the windows i was using and can't seem to get them back - my conkys disappear, my browsers are there but they are bars and i can't work out how to restore them - probably a simple answer but can someone help please? | 06:06 |
| theitus | ok it left me with mext cmd line | 06:06 |
| adam_ | My FX-4100 Ubuntu 14.04 is killing my Windows 7 i7 3750 | 06:06 |
| theitus | next | 06:06 |
| adam_ | theitus its done then. | 06:07 |
| absk007 | theitus, it's because you have disabled partner sources | 06:07 |
| theitus | cool thx | 06:07 |
| absk007 | may be not if everything is fine | 06:08 |
| absk007 | :) | 06:08 |
| adam_ | I have used Ubuntu studio and Xubuntu but Ubuntu 14.04 has a more stable kernel. | 06:08 |
| bekks | adam_: Thats ot true. Both use the same kernel. | 06:08 |
| chriys | bekks: do you know how can I locate this file invoke-rc.d: initscript red5-server, action "start" failed. ? | 06:08 |
| bekks | *not | 06:08 |
| chriys | invoke-rc.d | 06:08 |
| adam_ | Bekks, they are slightly diferent. | 06:08 |
| adam_ | Same linux based. | 06:08 |
| theitus | oh how do you if it works though\ | 06:08 |
| bekks | chriys: "invoke-rc.d" is a command. | 06:08 |
| adam_ | But different. | 06:08 |
| bekks | adam_: Thats not true. Both are _identical_. | 06:09 |
| adam_ | Bekks, no. | 06:09 |
| sparton | adam_ : stable yes.....using AMD grfx i liked the enhancements 3.16 brought....which is what I switched to | 06:09 |
| absk007 | Everyone must be aware of "Ubuntu security notices" http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ | 06:09 |
| bekks | adam_: They are identical. The only difference is the desktop environment used. | 06:09 |
| adam_ | bekks nope, I have looked at both kernels. | 06:09 |
| adam_ | I tend to add, my own security, Bekks. | 06:10 |
| absk007 | theitus, run youtube.com | 06:10 |
| bekks | adam_: So Ubuntu has nothing to do with your kernel differences then. | 06:10 |
| adam_ | No I have looked at the coding, bekks. | 06:10 |
| theitus | youtube runs | 06:10 |
| chubboes | bekks: How do I connect to the bat director? | 06:11 |
| adam_ | Bekks, I make I read the directions. | 06:11 |
| adam_ | Bekks I meant coding | 06:11 |
| absk007 | theitus, run addictinggames.com | 06:11 |
| bekks | chubboes: There is no "bat director". There is a bacula director only. | 06:11 |
| adam_ | I am in two chats. | 06:11 |
| theitus | i just cant get games to run like battlefield 1942 | 06:12 |
| adam_ | Theitus what is your specs? | 06:12 |
| bekks | adam_: There are no "different kernels" for Ubuntu Kubuntu, etc. - there is just one repository and thus only one kernel for all. | 06:12 |
| chubboes | bekks: accually the is a console connection to the Director | 06:12 |
| adam_ | bekks, Studio was made by 3rd party based on Ubuntu 12 | 06:12 |
| adam_ | Bekks, then they took it there own way. | 06:12 |
| chubboes | bekks: gksu bat | 06:13 |
| absk007 | theitus, is the game flash based? | 06:13 |
| chubboes | try it | 06:13 |
| theitus | ok how to check specs im kinda new to this | 06:13 |
| adam_ | theitus, time to learn. Did you buy or build your PC? | 06:13 |
| theitus | yes its flash based | 06:13 |
| bekks | chubboes: Start the bacula director, and use bat to connect. | 06:13 |
| theitus | bought | 06:14 |
| chubboes | okay | 06:14 |
| bekks | adam_: Ubuntu studio uses a realtime kernel, which is also exactly the same as the realtime kernel in the official ubuntu repos. | 06:14 |
| adam_ | bekks, Thats the old kernel. | 06:14 |
| absk007 | adam_, everyone buys stuffs. No one has a factory backyard. :) | 06:15 |
| adam_ | Bekks, they took it their own way. | 06:15 |
| adam_ | absk007 I meant that did he buy the parts and put it together | 06:15 |
| absk007 | :) | 06:15 |
| adam_ | absk007 or did he buy it at a store | 06:15 |
| adam_ | absk007 or from a friend | 06:15 |
| apickle | Hello everyone. | 06:15 |
| apickle | I was curious. | 06:15 |
| adam_ | absk007 this Pc I have is my old AMD Gaming rig. | 06:16 |
| apickle | How is it that I obtain DHCP on my interface? | 06:16 |
| adam_ | absk007 That I built | 06:16 |
| apickle | dhclient? | 06:16 |
| bekks | adam_: The did not take any other way than the official Ubuntu way. Ubuntu Studio is a official derivative ans uses official kernels only. | 06:16 |
| bekks | adam_: Please read the last paragraph here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel | 06:17 |
| adam_ | bekks, they only would do that if they were official. | 06:17 |
| bekks | adam_: Ubuntustudio is official. | 06:17 |
| infinmed | HELLO! | 06:17 |
| adam_ | bekks, which version? | 06:17 |
| adam_ | Thats for their latest 14.04 but the older ones arent | 06:18 |

| adam_ | bekks, partially. | 06:18 |
| adam_ | bekks, Kernel only | 06:18 |

| chubboes | bekks: ssh no | 06:26 |
| bekks | chubboes: So how exactly are you starting bat if it is not "gksu bat"? | 06:26 |

| Mrokii | Hello. I've been using an SD-card (from my camera) for a long time without problems. But a few days ago, when I insert the card in the reader, it isn't mounted automatically anymore (I need to click its entry in a filewindow). Also I'm always asked my admin-password to mount and dismount it. And today I noticed that the card is mounted as read-only (not sure if both things happened at the same time). Any | 06:52 |
| Mrokii | thoughts? | 06:52 |
| chaosbringer | Hello all. I'm having a few issues trying to install ubuntu 14.04 due to EFI / Bios issues | 06:55 |
| chaosbringer | First, how do I make sure that I delete all bios/gpt partitions on my drives as to "reset" them? | 06:56 |

| Mrokii | Hello. I've been using an SD-card (from my camera) for a long time without problems. But a few days ago, when I insert the card in the reader, it isn't mounted automatically anymore (I need to click its entry in a filewindow). Also I'm always asked my admin-password to mount and dismount it. And today I noticed that the card is mounted as read-only (not sure if both things happened at the same time). Any | 08:40 |

| Node_3 | Mrokii, Sounds like the filesystem might be damaged | 08:42 |
| ircguest2948 | So, is there no way to have linear raid (like mdadm has) using ubuntu prior to installation? (It goes away after a reboot when using the livecd) | 08:42 |
| Mrokii | Node_3: The filesystem on the SD card? | 08:43 |
| Node_3 | Mrokii: Yeah. | 08:43 |
| === hiliritating is now known as imacat | ||
| Node_3 | Mrokii: What filesystem do you use on it? | 08:44 |
| Mrokii | Node_3: I can reformat the card but I don't see why that would stop Ubuntu from mounting it automatically. I don't know about the filesystem on the SD-card. I never changed it, I'm just using it in my camera. | 08:45 |
| Node_3 | Mrokii: Then it's most likely fat32. You shouldn't have to reformat it | 08:46 |
| ircguest2948 | Any ideas to persist mdadm linear "raid" when installing the system using a live cd?? | 08:46 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: Create the raid usong the server iso, during the installation. And what is a "linear raid"? | 08:47 |
| Mrokii | Node_3: I thought so. Never had that problem before I think, and no clue why Ubuntu suddenly changed its behaviour. | 08:47 |
| Node_3 | Mrokii: try running sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/whatever-device-your-sd-card-has | 08:47 |
| ircguest2948 | bekks, https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup#Linear_mode | 08:47 |
| Node_3 | Mrokii: You may have to install dosfstools first, (sudo apt-get install dosfstools) | 08:48 |
| Mrokii | Node_3: Okay, I'll try that, thanks. | 08:48 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: Ah, thats a JBOD in fact. :) | 08:48 |
| Node_3 | Mrokii: It's the equivalent of chkdsk in Windows. Good for sd cards and pen drives that tend to run fat32 and get some damage when it's ejected improperly | 08:48 |
| ircguest2948 | yes | 08:49 |
| ircguest2948 | JBOD | 08:49 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: "linear mode" is just a functionality, in case you want that, better use LVM. | 08:49 |
| bekks | Create multiple physical volumes for LVM, add them to the same Volume Group, done. | 08:49 |
| ircguest2948 | well, i want to specify where each thing goes, (I have an SSD which I want the OS to be installed to) | 08:49 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: And using LVM thats possible, too. | 08:50 |
| ircguest2948 | and /home /var /opt /<custom> into the linear array | 08:50 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: USe LVM instead. | 08:50 |
| ircguest2948 | Any guide on how to do that for 14.04? | 08:50 |
| ircguest2948 | how complicated? | 08:50 |
| ircguest2948 | I had searched for a decent LVM guide but it all seemed like you had to install and configure after the fact or such thing | 08:51 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: Much more easy than dealing with RAID. Bott the server iso, create physical volumes for LVM in the partitioning section, create one volume group, create logical volumes, and then just assign the volumes to the filesystems. | 08:51 |
| ircguest2948 | there's also no options for doing so on the 14.04 Ubuntu Gnome CD | 08:51 |
| ircguest2948 | i dled the server cd now | 08:51 |
| cfhowlett | !lvm | 08:51 |

| bekks | ircguest2948: It is a matter of fact that you can specify the physical device where to logical volume will be created. This applies to "lvcreate". | 09:03 |
| ircguest2948 | So I would need two logical volumes | 09:03 |
| ircguest2948 | one for / efi swap | 09:03 |
| ircguest2948 | and then another for the rest of the partitions? | 09:04 |
| ircguest2948 | is that common? | 09:04 |
| ircguest2948 | I guess I would only be able to increase the first (ssd volume) by adding ssds and the hdd one by adding hdds | 09:04 |
| Jinny22 | Here some videos. I hope you like them! http://j.mp/1ku5xfr | 09:04 |
| ircguest2948 | so I guess that makes sense | 09:04 |
| ircguest2948 | if that's the case | 09:04 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: you need one partition for /boot/efi, one for /boot, and logical volumes for every other filesystem you want to have. | 09:06 |
| Node_3 | Although not strictly necessary I would suggest making /home its own partition. In any case you need to re-install ubuntu that will save a lot of time. | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | agreed but backup the backup as well | 09:08 |
| ircguest2948 | Node_3: I was trying to do the following -- / /boot/efi swap >> SSD | /home /var /opt >> HDD | 09:09 |
| ircguest2948 | i'm reading up on LVM | 09:09 |
| ircguest2948 | but it seems that then the SSD would have one logical volume | 09:10 |
| ircguest2948 | and the 2 HDDs would have 1 logical volume | 09:10 |
| ircguest2948 | with those partitions the way I mentioned | 09:10 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: Personally I would put /home as a smaller partition on the ssd and then make a second partition for big files (downloads, video, music, pictures etc.) and mount it inside your home folder | 09:10 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: That way you would get the benefit of ssd speeds when reading local settings and cache files | 09:10 |
| ircguest2948 | Makes sense | 09:11 |
| Node_3 | How much memory do you have? | 09:11 |
| ircguest2948 | 32 GB of ram | 09:12 |
| ircguest2948 | DDR3 | 09:12 |
| Node_3 | Yeah, skip putting the swap on the ssd | 09:12 |
| Node_3 | Use that space for something else ;) | 09:12 |
| ircguest2948 | I was thinking about not having any swap at all | 09:12 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: Although Linux will rarely use it, you should make a swap partition | 09:12 |
| ircguest2948 | but i guess i won't miss 2 gb | 09:12 |
| ircguest2948 | yeah | 09:12 |
| ircguest2948 | that's what I figured | 09:12 |
| Node_3 | But I would make it on the hdd | 09:13 |
| ircguest2948 | Kk, created a boot-usb | 09:13 |
| Node_3 | With 32gig of ram, unless you're doing some extreme stuff, linux shouldn't have to page.. ever | 09:13 |
| ircguest2948 | I do some extreme stuff | 09:13 |
| Node_3 | video editing? | 09:13 |
| ircguest2948 | vagrant + puppet etc | 09:13 |
| bekks | Node_3: And the swap is used for suspending, too. | 09:13 |
| ircguest2948 | I run networks of VMs for programming purposes | 09:13 |
| Node_3 | bekks: That's true. I almost forgot about that | 09:13 |
| bekks | Node_3: So if you choose suspend to disk, you need as much swap as RAM. | 09:13 |
| ircguest2948 | Good to know | 09:14 |
| Node_3 | bekks: Yeah | 09:14 |
| ircguest2948 | Didn't know that | 09:14 |
| ircguest2948 | ok so | 09:14 |
| ircguest2948 | 32GB of of swap on HDD LV | 09:14 |
| Node_3 | So as bekks suggested, in any case you're going to suspend the computer you should reserve 32gig for it. If you want to suspend fast I suggest putting it on the SSD if you have space | 09:14 |
| ircguest2948 | Well | 09:14 |
| ircguest2948 | i'm probably going to buy more SSDs in the next months | 09:15 |
| Node_3 | You can use TuxOnIce in order to save some space.. | 09:15 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: Then you can change that setup later on. | 09:15 |
| ircguest2948 | What do you mean | 09:15 |
| ircguest2948 | I'm saying I can probably put everything on the SSD LV and keep the large files on the HDD LV | 09:16 |
| ircguest2948 | would that be best? | 09:16 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: That you can change your setup if necessary in a few month after buying more SSD. | 09:16 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: No, thats not best. | 09:16 |
| ircguest2948 | So the 32GB of swap should be on the HDD LV? | 09:17 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: For a fast suspend no, for saving space on the SSD yes. | 09:17 |
| ircguest2948 | So what would be the best? Is a fast suspend not a good thing? | 09:17 |
| ircguest2948 | I'm not understanding | 09:17 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: Yeah, when you're suspending everything in ram would have to be written to your hdd which, with 32gig, would take time | 09:17 |
| bekks | ircguest2948: It depends on how important things are to you. | 09:17 |
| ircguest2948 | bekks: what is your suggestion | 09:18 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: If you put the swap on the ssd, then when you suspend everything in ram will be written to your ssd instead which will make suspending faster | 09:18 |
| ircguest2948 | Node_3: that's what I was thinking as well | 09:18 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: Ah then we misread you :) | 09:18 |
| === Kryptron_ is now known as Kryptron | ||
| bekks | ircguest2948: I dont know how important things are to you. | 09:18 |
| ircguest2948 | bekks: seems to disagree | 09:18 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: No, he just misread you aswell but he seems to have aspergers or something | 09:18 |
| ircguest2948 | lol | 09:18 |
| bekks | Node_3: Stop insulting people. Thank you. | 09:19 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: Anyways, everything on the ssd is fine and big files on the hdd | 09:19 |
| Node_3 | bekks: You're welcome | 09:19 |
| Node_3 | ircguest2948: swap on the ssd if you want your suspends to be fast, if you don't care about how long it takes to suspend the computer then put the swap on the hdd | 09:19 |
| ircguest2948 | It seems you have the ability to create Primary or Logical volumes using the standard install liveCD | 09:19 |
| ircguest2948 | is that not suggested? | 09:19 |

| Edico | I remained without space on my rood directory. I don't know what occupy my space, I have /home on separate partition. I see that /usr/src has 1.5 GB with linux-headers* | 10:07 |
| Edico | should I remove linux-headers of the other versions than I use with rm command or is there a tool do do that? | 10:08 |
| cfhowlett | Edico, first sudo apt-get autoclean | 10:09 |
| cyclist_2 | Edico: you do not need to keep all linux-headers acquired from previous updates; they take quite a bit of space on th HD | 10:10 |
| cyclist_2 | Edico: but be sure to keep the last 2 or 3, just in case the last one breaks something... | 10:11 |

| davidga | i get a kernel panic when trying to start ubuntu | 10:35 |
| davidga | what can i do in this issue | 10:35 |
| linuxuz3r | use a livecd | 10:36 |
| davidga | i have a live usb | 10:36 |
| davidga | created by rufus | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | davidga, who the heck is rufuf??! | 10:36 |
| davidga | they guy who sold me the computer told me that it is an uefi machine | 10:36 |
| davidga | http://rufus.akeo.ie/ | 10:36 |
| davidga | it has no bios | 10:37 |
| davidga | he told me that i should create the live usb with rufus | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett | davidga, never heard of that tool - and I've been using ubuntu since 2007. | 10:37 |
| davidga | i downloaded the LTS | 10:37 |
| Irbur | how does a computer have no bios? | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | davidga, did you verify the ISO? | 10:38 |
| davidga | how do i verify it ? | 10:38 |
| lilstevie | Irbur, UEFI is technically firmware not BIOS ;) | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | david | 10:38 |
| ubottu | david: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:38 |
| lilstevie | and isn't legacy bios which is what most people refer to ;) | 10:38 |
| Irbur | oh, sorry, thanks! | 10:39 |

| linuxuz3r | im out | 10:41 |
| davidga | i downloaded and it told that md5 checksum is different | 10:42 |
| davidga | so i assume that there was a download error | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett | davidga, bad ISO = bad installation | 10:42 |
| davidga | is this correct? | 10:42 |
| davidga | this was stupid easy | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett | davidga, correct. download with torrent usually is more reliable method | 10:42 |

| serviscope_minor | hi | 10:45 |
| serviscope_minor | Just installed ubuntu 14.04, with XFCE. It's mostly a success, but I have a few minor problems. | 10:46 |
| serviscope_minor | 1. Doesn't respond to the sleep button or lid close. If I send the right dbus invocation from the shell, it does indeed sleep so that works. Not sure how to go about debugging that. | 10:47 |
| akyros | serviscope_minor, have you tried LXLE? - over the past couple of years I went through a few light-weight Linux distros to run on my old laptop (mist Ubuntu / Debian derivatives) | 10:47 |
| serviscope_minor | 2. The icon for nm-applet doesn't appear in the system tray, even if I use a separate standalone tray like stalonetray. | 10:47 |
| Kira9204 | cfhowlett: yes, but if you think from a users perspective they will always go the easy route that works out of the box | 10:47 |
| serviscope_minor | akyros: it's regular standard ubuntu. | 10:48 |
| serviscope_minor | I just happen to prefer XFCE to unity | 10:48 |
| Kira9204 | guess why IE has such market share on Windows? Becuse its already there and default | 10:48 |
| serviscope_minor | 3. It's now stuck on US keyboard. I can do the right xkb invocation from the shell as before, but doesn't seem optimal. | 10:48 |
| serviscope_minor | 2 is th most annoying since the workarounds are substantially more of a pain than the other two. | 10:49 |
| serviscope_minor | Any ideas on where to look at fixing these? | 10:49 |
| akyros | serviscope_minor, Heh I did that too for a while after Unity was introduced as default instead of Gnome2 on my fast (desktop) box but ended up just switching to KDE/Kubuntu - too many things to tweak in XFCE to make it work to my liking | 10:49 |
| serviscope_minor | akyros: it's only a few years old. i5 of a decent speed, and 4G ram. | 10:49 |
| serviscope_minor | akyros: well, this isn't actually for me. It's for a friend. Personally, I prefer FVWM2, but I'm old-fashioned like that. | 10:50 |
| serviscope_minor | but nonethelessit ought to work. I'm fairly sure 2 would be a problem on FVWM as well, since nm-applet seems busted, not XFCE in this case. | 10:50 |

| darksider | ActionParsnip: i use the same credentials file as in fstab, it works there | 10:56 |
| serviscope_minor | Kira9204: it's odd though. It correctly figured out I was in the UK when I installed. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | darksider: can you mount it using: sudo mount /mount/point , using the entry in /etc/fstab | 10:57 |

| juveniledelinque | the hard drive is ok, too | 11:33 |
| juveniledelinque | for ex. I can move the cursor now, but the computer makes still no move | 11:34 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: does it occur predictably? Is it always when you have particular applications running? | 11:34 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: Once you have control again, view the end of "/var/log/kern.log" for clues - match the timestamps of the log messages with the time the issue occurs, there may be clues. | 11:35 |
| antheum | TJ: it says no such file or directory | 11:35 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- it occurs a while after I start the device, within half an hour or so, not longer. it may be particular applications, because I almost always use the same applications lately | 11:36 |
| TJ- | antheum: That's not good. Which Ubuntu release is it ("cat /etc/issue") ? | 11:36 |
| neutralizer | hi, what is Host LAN IP from inside the container? is it docker0 from host? or eth0 from container? | 11:36 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: It almost sounds like paging to swap partition due to some process eating up RAM and causing pages to be swapped out. | 11:36 |
| remonm96 | can anybode help me with installing atraci on ubuntu 14.04 lts? | 11:37 |
| antheum | TJ: ah ok it did come back with the print out you mentioned | 11:37 |
| antheum | TJ: I had cut and pasted the whole thing, like a proper noob | 11:38 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- what process can it be? something happening at the background, a malware? | 11:38 |
| TJ- | antheum: :) we all are at some point | 11:38 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: I've seen some web-sites with bad Javascript cause a tab in a browser to cause it, and because you can't get to the terminal to check, it has often gone by the time you can check. In those cases I have a terminal open and visible running "top" ready to catch it. | 11:40 |
| juveniledelinque | and this happens on and off for over a month now. It seemed to have been gone after a reinstall a month ago, but lately it returned | 11:40 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- I have exactly that now. the terminal open with 'top' running. but I cant see the terminal | 11:41 |
| juveniledelinque | I cant get to it | 11:41 |
| antheum | TJ: I also need a working userspace infrastructure configured. | 11:41 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: I've also noticed that effect when using the -lowlatency variations of the kernel, but then, the mouse pointer also freezes. | 11:41 |
| TJ- | antheum: As I said, Udev handles it | 11:41 |
| TJ- | antheum: It has built-in support for firmware loading. The rules file is simple: "/lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules" | 11:42 |
| antheum | TJ: what about the working userspace infrastructure configured | 11:42 |
| TJ- | antheum: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Firmware | 11:45 |
| antheum | TJ: thank you | 11:52 |
| DataGG | Yo there | 11:54 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- I viewed kernel log, I cant detect any anomaly with my knowledge. | 11:54 |
| DataGG | one quick question: Is kernel 3.16 stable? | 11:54 |
| DataGG | Or should I go with 3.15.9? | 11:54 |
| juveniledelinque | but timestamps are not in continuity, there are gap points between them, like 50 min, 20 min.. | 11:55 |
| SP33D | can some one plz help me to setup syslog so it don't logs one msg | 11:55 |
| SP33D | i simply don't understand this filter syntax right i don't know why | 11:55 |
| SP33D | i need other examples maybe can some one paste me a example of filter out of this | 11:56 |
| SP33D | Aug 10 13:52:46 h1 kernel: [134491.379425] type=1400 audit(1407671566.244:12928365): apparmor="DENIED" operation="ptrace" profile="docker-default" pid=3728 comm="ps" requested_mask="trace" denied_mask="trace" peer="docker-default" | 11:56 |
| SP33D | as i understand it comes from the kernl log part but i don't know how to filter that out so it don't gets logged | 11:57 |
| DataGG | Is kernel 3.16 stable? Or should I go with 3.15.9? | 12:00 |
| k1l_ | DataGG: last stable ubuntu uses 3.13. so we suggest to use that | 12:02 |
| AlexPortable | I used unetbootin to make clonezilla bootable usb stick, but when i want to boot from usb stick i get 'no bootable medium found. insert bootable medium and press any key'. | 12:05 |
| TJ- | DataGG: 3.16 has some regressions in the PCI handling code that can affect allocation of expanded bridge windows | 12:05 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- sorry, I was disconnected, if you replied me meanwhile. | 12:08 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: timestamps being far apart in time sometimes happens if nothing much is going on in the hardware department :) | 12:10 |
| b14ck | hello, can anyone tell me if there are any specific router settings i should make to connect wireless ? (i had another linux distrib. installed and it worked before) | 12:10 |
| crazyhorse | it places the usb stick in the drive, it sees the usb stick in the disk utility, it doesn't see the mounted usb stick | 12:10 |
| crazyhorse | what should it do? | 12:10 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- oh, i see, thank you. but still dont know what could be devouring the system's resources | 12:11 |
| crazyhorse | it sees the volume says "unknown 2.0Gb" | 12:11 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: Have you over-clocked the PC? Have you recently added any hardware devices? The best way to test it is to log-in and not open any applications for a while and see if it still happens. If you want to leave the PC while that test is running, open a terminal and run a simple script "while true; do echo "I'm still alive at $(date)"; sleep 1; done" | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | b14ck, set your router to defaults is the usual answer | 12:16 |
| antheum | TJ: if x retrieves y from files in /lib/firmware, what is /lib/firmware | 12:17 |
| TJ- | antheum: A directory in the file-system | 12:17 |
| antheum | TJ: in relationship to its command | 12:18 |
| TJ- | antheum: I don't understand your question | 12:18 |
| antheum | TJ: ah ok. and how would I find that file in ubuntu | 12:19 |
| TJ- | antheum: Do you have an actual problem with an Ubuntu installation... because your questions are probably more appropriate for ##linux | 12:19 |
| k1l_ | antheum: its a folder | 12:19 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- admittedly a funny script :) | 12:19 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: By *very* informative :) | 12:19 |
| TJ- | juveniledelinque: s/By/But/ | 12:19 |
| antheum | TJ: there is no problem. I am just learning how the system works | 12:19 |
| zagaza | hi guys, how do I give a folder basic web permission? just read or whatever it is | 12:20 |
| antheum | TJ: and the terminology. using windows, thus far, keeps you away from the good stuff | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zagaza: what do you mean 'web permission' | 12:21 |
| antheum | TJ: can I give you an example | 12:21 |
| juveniledelinque | TJ- I haven't overclocked it, and I dont use the device with any hardware attached. I bet it wouldnt get jammed without any open application, or maybe even when only a browser window is open. I'll try this | 12:21 |
| zagaza | ActionParsnip I get You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server. | 12:21 |
| b14ck | cfhowlett: thanks | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | b14ck, happy2help | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zagaza: I have full system access via sudo | 12:22 |
| zagaza | I mean I get that in my browser | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zagaza: what is the access on hthe file? | 12:22 |
| zagaza | what do you mean? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zagaza: what permissions are on the file you cannot access? | 12:23 |

| yellabs | hello there | 12:30 |
| yellabs | is there a way to show a realtime clock on bash ? | 12:30 |
| TJ- | yellabs: "date" ? | 12:31 |
| yellabs | when i do date, it show clock , but not a live version | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | yellabs, time | 12:31 |
| yellabs | time shows a bunch of zero | 12:31 |
| TJ- | yellabs: The command runs, reports, exits. If you want it to continuously update you won't be able to type commands in the same terminal | 12:32 |
| Paddy_NI | If I wanted to upgrade/install the latest stable Gnome on Ubuntu 14.04 would I use "Staging PPA" or the "Gnome Team PPA"? | 12:32 |
| TJ- | yellabs: "time" is for timing the execution of commands, not for RTC | 12:32 |
| Paddy_NI | Or perhaps both? | 12:32 |
| yellabs | ok | 12:32 |
| TJ- | yellabs: if you're keen to see the latest time you could edit the bash shell prompt PS1 to show the time | 12:33 |
| zagaza | so what's the correct way to go about permissions? should I set permissions on a folder, or on all the files? if i want them to be readable by web users | 12:33 |
| yellabs | yeah i did edit the .bashrc , but indeed its a frozen time | 12:34 |
| MonkeyDust | zagaza methinks #ubuntu-server is the channel you need | 12:35 |
| zagaza | cool thanks | 12:36 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest9223 | ||
| yellabs | ah, well, i see now that a live clock is not an option | 12:37 |
| TJ- | yellabs: if you use 'screen' you could add the time to the optional status bar, or just press Ctrl+A T for instant time | 12:37 |
| elmaestro | hi guys, wat does it mean when i can browse but there is no assigned wired connection in network manager on sys tray? | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | elmaestro, sure you're not on wifi | 12:39 |
| MonkeyDust | elmaestro maybe you're connected through a wifi connection | 12:39 |
| MonkeyDust | elmaestro even accidentally, through some unsecured wifi connected you're not aware of | 12:40 |

| chriys | hey guys does someone has a good link to lock user in their home directories for sftp (openssh-server) on ubuntu 12.04 | 12:43 |
| chriys | ? | 12:43 |
| zagaza | ActionParsnip: sorry don't know how to look that up? | 12:43 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: there's two answer sessions going on; one's in #ubuntu-sever :) | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zagaza: id keep it in #ubuntu-server but if the user running the process doesnt have permissions on the file you will get issues | 12:44 |
| zagaza | TJ- yeah I got directed to #ubuntu-server | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Tj-: thanks | 12:44 |

| darkelfjuggalo | I usually use .deb or apt-get to get files from a repository... I have a Tar.bz file i need to extract, can someone remind me the proper code to do so | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | antheum: what do you mean 'user@bash' ? | 12:46 |
| sydney | If i install zram,will it hurt my system? like make it crash? Also,how do i use it? I know what it does :) | 12:46 |
| chriys | ActionParsnip: thx | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | darkelfjuggalo: install unp and you can use it to extract anything | 12:47 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: "tar -xf <archive.tar.gz>" | 12:47 |
| antheum | well I am just going through some documentation and it is talking about the command line. However, it its examples are user#bash. I don't have that when I open the terminal | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: I suggest you researh a little | 12:47 |
| MonkeyDust | sydney if ubottu says it's ok, i guess it's ok | 12:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !zra | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | antheum: bash is just a shell. You automatically run bash when you start a terminal | 12:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !zram | 12:48 |
| ubottu | zRAM is a module of the Linux kernel which increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM, useful on systems with less RAM, and SSDs. Install zram-config to enable zRAM. | 12:48 |
| sydney | ok :) I was curious when i came across it :) | 12:48 |
| antheum | ActionParsnip: thank you | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: also set vm.swappiness to 1. If you lots of RAM you won't use swap unless you suspend etc. | 12:49 |
| sydney | ActionParsnip: i have tried that,but it causes my programs to crash :-/ | 12:50 |
| Tzunamii | sydney: How much RAM do you have in that system and what programs are crashing? | 12:51 |
| sydney | 1gb. google chrome | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | sydney, 1 gig? suggest you consider a lightweight buntu: lubuntu or xubuntu | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Yeah zra looks good for you. Ram is cheap dude. You'll really see the difference with more | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | *zram | 12:52 |
| sydney | I am already using a lightweight buntu :P | 12:52 |
| Mmmm|2 | hi | 12:52 |
| sydney | So i should try zram? | 12:52 |
| sydney | ActionParsnip: im sure i would :) | 12:53 |
| sydney | or dont i have enough ram for zram to help? | 12:53 |
| Mmmm|2 | since the last update, using wine is not possible until you do `echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16` has root one after startup. Would you know how to launch that cmd automatically after each startup ? (as root) | 12:54 |
| Mmmm|2 | -one | 12:54 |
| k1l_ | sydney: lubuntu uses zram by default | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Mmmm|2 create a cronjod and use @reboot | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | cronjob* | 12:54 |
| * Mmmm|2 googles cronjob | 12:55 | |
| sydney | k1l_: Ahh,thats why it seems faster than when i have lxde installed on a unity install :) | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Mmmm|2 like so: sudo crontab -e and add: @reboot [your command] | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Mmmm|2: you can use gnome-schedule as a GUI to crontab | 12:55 |
| k1l_ | for small or old hardware you defintely should lok at lubuntu at all. | 12:55 |
| Mmmm|2 | ActionParsnip: i'm using kde, so no gtk gui for me :x | 12:56 |
| Mmmm|2 | I'll look into that MonkeyDust, thank you | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Mmmm|2: im sure there I one but learning proper crontabs in cli is great as you can change jobs via ssh :-) | 12:56 |

| MonkeyDust | Mmmm|2 in a terminal, type crontab -e then read the basic instructions, no need to bother google | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | I use openbox as standalone. Superlight | 12:59 |
| Mmmm|2 | MonkeyDust: thank you, I'll reboot now to see if that works : | 12:59 |
| Mmmm|2 | :) | 12:59 |
| MonkeyDust | Mmmm|2 did you use sudo? | 12:59 |
| Mmmm|2 | MonkeyDust: I used the root account directly | 13:00 |
| Mmmm|2 | brb | 13:00 |
| TJ- | Mmmm|2: Using "sysctl abi.ldt16=1" is better; and you can add that to a file in /etc/sysctl.d/ to have it applied at boot | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Or in /etc/sysctl.conf | 13:02 |
| elmaestro | on sys tray it reads "device not managed" | 13:04 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: No, that's not a good place. That means updates to that script require user intervention to check the diff, decide on which version to use - package maintainers or the user's. The purpose of the sysctl.d/ directory is that packages and users can drop in their own requirements, which are read by "run-parts", without changing the configuration shipped in the package, making upgrades reliable | 13:04 |
| sydney | there :) DO i have to configure it or anything? | 13:05 |
| sydney | It *seems* faster :) | 13:07 |
| elmaestro | am sure am not on wifi, its a desktop PC and my only connection is wired | 13:09 |
| === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i | ||
| sydney | i should buy some more ram :P | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: just use the OS I guess. You could reboot for laughs | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: I would. 1Gb RAM costs peanuts | 13:10 |
| cfhowlett | sydney, if affordable, max out your ram | 13:10 |
| sydney | cfhowlett: um,4gb :) | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | sydney, 4 > 1 | 13:11 |
| TJ- | elmaestro: If there's an entry in "/etc/network/interfaces" for that network interface, Network Manager will by default not manage that same interface to avoid messing it up | 13:11 |
| sydney | I can probably go to like 24 if i switch my os to 64 bit :P | 13:11 |
| elmaestro | yes i have entries in interfaces file, my ip as issued by my provider | 13:12 |
| TJ- | elmaestro: That is why Network Manager doesn't list the device | 13:12 |
| elmaestro | TJ,thanks, but it means that those are the addresses my connection is based on? | 13:13 |
| sydney | But i dont need 24gb :P | 13:13 |
| TJ- | elmaestro: To check, use "ip address show" | 13:14 |
| elmaestro | what is ubuntu's equivalent to avafind, or a file search tool? | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | elmaestro, whereis | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: 32bit with PAE can use up to 64Gb RAM. Each process will only get 3.2Gb RAM | 13:17 |
| elmaestro_ | i cannot find whereis in software centre, wat next? | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | elmaestro_, it's a terminal command | 13:17 |

| sydney | ssd* | 13:18 |
| elmaestro_ | is there an app with a GUI? | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sydney: if you only want a basic system I dont think an SSD will make a huge difference. The RAM certainly will | 13:19 |
| sydney | ActionParsnip: whats the max ram a 32buit ubuntu install will recognize? 3.2gb? | 13:19 |
| sydney | bit* | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | sydney, what ActionParsnip said +1 | 13:19 |

| antheum | or is that just not a function ubuntu uses | 13:35 |

| TJ- | juveniledelinque: It'll take a while to determine that, maybe there's some web-site page you visit regularly that causes it? | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | antheum, the answer to your query bout mounting the DVD | 13:37 |
| antheum | crhowlett: is the disc drive not automatically mounted | 13:37 |
| hyde | HI. I used command `xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape NoSymbol Escape"` to turn caps lock into esc. this actually works. However, it is still *also* a caps lock. How can I fix that? | 13:38 |
| TJ- | antheum: In the GUI file explorers, usually you simply double-click on a DVD name in the devices summary pane to have it mounted and view files | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | antheum, if NOT ... use the manual method. it depends on the DVD - is it recognized, is it readable | 13:38 |
| antheum | cfhowlett: I guess I am asking is there a place on the destop or home folder where the disc shows up. like in windows or linux mint | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | antheum, I'm on xubuntu --- different arrangement of behavior. ask the channel in general | 13:40 |
| antheum | ok where is the channel in question | 13:40 |

| bekks | Sacrelicious: Which ones? | 13:45 |
| Sacrelicious | bekks: kingston data travelers, or are you referring to the error messages? I can pastebin them if you want | 13:45 |

| cfhowlett | Sacrelicious, sorry, but I'm not able to read. China firewall issues | 13:48 |
| Sacrelicious | cfhowlett: i can msg them if you want, its about 8 or 9 lines long | 13:49 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, repost on paste.ubuntu.com | 13:49 |

| cfhowlett | Sacrelicious, you're getting that from startupdiskcreator? Yuck. install unetbootin and try that instead | 13:52 |
| Sacrelicious | cfhowlett: yeah i'm using an old version of ubuntu, 13.04, i made the error of not upgrading, i'm a linux newbie | 13:52 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, it seems there are problems with data traveller sticks on linux http://askubuntu.com/questions/102901/get-kingston-datatraveler-locker-working-under-ubuntu-11-10 | 13:52 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, they are not usable at all | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade > Sacrelicious, | 13:53 |
| JOY | guys .... anybody know any java programing channel here?? | 13:53 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: it happens with multiple sticks. | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | JOY, ##java I think | 13:53 |
| Sacrelicious | cfhowlett: tried to install from terminal. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 13:53 |
| Sacrelicious | cfhowlett: unebootin, that is. | 13:53 |
| Sacrelicious | i will post the error message i get from my other data sticks. | 13:54 |
| Sacrelicious | this is from one of my lexar ones: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008043/ | 13:54 |
| [Ex0r] | hmm, im having a problem. I have proftpd installed via sudo apt-get install proftpd, and whenever I try connecting to the FTP server, it sits at getting directory listing, and than times out. | 13:55 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, you could use gparted to delete the partitions on it and format it from there also | 13:55 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: tried it already, i will post the error message, one sec. | 13:56 |
| awanti | Hi. I am running ubuntu 14.04. I am facing problem in installing canon LBP2900 drivers in it. please help to solve this... | 13:56 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: okay, so I'm in gparted, how do I delete the partitions on the device exactally? | 13:57 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: wait, i got it, k one sec. | 13:58 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, are there any partitions listed | 13:58 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, ok | 13:58 |
| pr3d | hi, i want to install an older version from a ppa Repository. i have trusty installed. is that possible? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | JOY: #java | 14:00 |
| cfhowlett | pr3d, if you can find the ppa version you want, yes | 14:00 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: okay, so in startup disk creator, I got my device selected, its blank, 7.3gb free. I have the ubuntu 14.04 iso selected, but the option to "make startup disk" is still greyed out | 14:00 |
| pr3d | yeah i have, but i dont know how to select the old version on apt-get | 14:01 |
| Sacrelicious | is there a way to get a copy of unetbootin that will function on 13.04? | 14:01 |
| kostkon | pr3d, is it for handbrake? | 14:01 |
| pr3d | no transmission | 14:01 |
| patates | anybody using chromium, can you check if you can see the revocation check settings, in settings.. I can't find it :S Did they remove this? | 14:02 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, download the .bin and run it | 14:02 |
| [Ex0r] | It just gets stuck on PASV message, than fails to get directory | 14:02 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: linux newbie here. how do i do that? | 14:02 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: got a system around with a supported OS? Unetnootin runs on mac and windows too | 14:03 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, btw, did you click erase disk in the startup creator, just in case | 14:03 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: nah, this is my only system. | 14:03 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: sure did. | 14:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Sacrelicious try this, scroll down, but we cannot give support, as 13.04 is !eol http://pkgs.org/download/unetbootin | 14:03 |
| Sacrelicious | kostkon: got this error: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Inhibited: Daemon is inhibited | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | Sacrelicious, use a different computer | 14:04 |
| Sacrelicious | cfhowlett: yeah i'm thinking i might just need to get a friend to make a live usb and boot from it tomorrow or something | 14:04 |
| kostkon | Sacrelicious, might as well read it and give the suggestions a try http://askubuntu.com/a/43985/1651 | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: bit easier | 14:05 |
| pr3d | i want to install the v2.77 package from here: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=&field.series_filter= | 14:05 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: on that page, click Download (for Linux), right click on the file -> Properties -> Permissions -> click Allow executing file as program - then double click on the icon | 14:05 |
| === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth | ||
| Sacrelicious | yeats: k, one sec. | 14:07 |
| OerHeks | pr3d, on what ubuntu version ? | 14:08 |
| pr3d | trusty | 14:08 |
| yeats | pr3d: there's not a trusty version of that deb | 14:08 |
| kostkon | pr3d, are you trying to downgrade it? | 14:08 |
| yeats | pr3d: if you explain what you're after, there might be a better way to do what you're trying to do | 14:08 |
| OerHeks | pr3d, why such old verdion, and it is not availavle, 2.83 and up are | 14:09 |
| OerHeks | version* | 14:09 |
| Sacrelicious | yeats: Could not display “unetbootin-linux-608.bin” The file is of an unknown type | 14:09 |
| pr3d | so its now possible to install an older package, that hasn't been packaged for my version? | 14:09 |
| MonkeyDust | pr3d what do you want to achieve, maybe there's an easier way to achive it | 14:09 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: did you save the file? | 14:09 |
| OerHeks | pr3d, no. unless you build it yourseld, which can give troubles with dependencies | 14:10 |
| Sacrelicious | yeats: yes | 14:10 |
| pr3d | MonkeyDust: i want to install an older version | 14:10 |
| MonkeyDust | pr3d of what, to do what? | 14:10 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: use the file manager to navigate the download location (probably ~/Downloads), then follow my above instructions | 14:11 |
| Sacrelicious | yeats: i did. | 14:11 |
| Sacrelicious | okay, so i got unetbootin running | 14:11 |
| yeats | ok | 14:12 |
| pr3d | i think OerHeks has answered it | 14:12 |
| Sacrelicious | I get this message when trying to make a live usb from unetbootin: No USB flash drives were found. If you have already inserted a USB drive, try reformatting it as FAT32. | 14:12 |
| Sacrelicious | but I do have 2 different ones in. | 14:12 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: is the USB drive you're trying to write to formated FAT32? | 14:12 |
| cfhowlett | Sacrelicious, did you format as fat32? | 14:12 |
| Sacrelicious | unsure... can I do that in Gparted? | 14:13 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: yes | 14:13 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: be careful to format the right one though ;-) | 14:13 |
| Sacrelicious | yeats: what is the process? | 14:13 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: make sure you have the right drive, then delete whatever partition is on there, then add a FAT32 one (should be pretty intuitive) | 14:14 |
| Sacrelicious | just create primary partition as fat32? | 14:14 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: yep | 14:14 |
| Sacrelicious | word. | 14:14 |
| Sacrelicious | still no dice...hrmmm | 14:15 |
| Sacrelicious | i'm thinking it might be best just to make a clean usb stick on a friends computer | 14:18 |
| yeats | Sacrelicious: yeah - go for that - the only other thought is that you might try an older release of unetbootin (like http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/584/) | 14:19 |
| yeats | possible they've changed some things since make it incompatible with 13.04? | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: you do know you can use dd to put the ISO on the USB... | 14:20 |
| yeats | or that^^ ;-) | 14:21 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: not sure what dd is... explain | 14:22 |
| kostkon | !dd | 14:23 |
| kostkon | nope | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: use the web to find out..... | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: what is the device name of your USB? | 14:23 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: kingston data traveler, and a lexar, no idea what the device name of the lexar is though | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: no. The device name in your OS. The make and model is of zero consequence | 14:24 |
| Sacrelicious | sdb | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: perfect. | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: and what is the name and location of your ISO? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: case sensitive of course | 14:25 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: /home/paul/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: then with all partitions on sdb unmounted, run: | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: sudo dd if=~/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: I assume you have MD5 tested the ISO and that the data on the USB stick is not needed | 14:28 |
| MonkeyDust | I havent followed, what's Sacrelicious problem? | 14:28 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: its not needed, as for md5, no idea what that means, but I got it from the ubuntu website, I'm assuming its fine. | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: old ubuntu and want iso on usb | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: it may have errors | 14:29 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: worst case scenario, as I said, I'll just make a live usb at a friends place tomorrow, I just got stuff I need to get done on here today -_-" | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: source is moot. You can get the file from the dodgiest server you can find, as long as the MD5 hash matches it is complete and consistant | 14:29 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: whats the process to test? | 14:30 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: 2009088+0 records in 2009088+0 records out 1028653056 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 9.04595 s, 114 MB/s | 14:30 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: good to go? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: you are pulling the data over the most unreluable network, The Internet. TCP does an Ok job of error checking but it isn't perfect | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacrelicious: if the job has finished, run: sudo eject /dev/sdb , then reboot | 14:31 |
| Sacrelicious | ActionParsnip: will do, and thank you so much for this. if this works, I'll be back here in a half hour or so to thank you again. I really, really appreciate the help, I got onto the linux kool aid a little over a year ago but I've been so busy with work I have not had enough time to learn it properly | 14:32 |
| Sacrelicious | again, very, very much appreciated. | 14:32 |

| [Ex0r] | grrr, what the heck | 14:53 |
| [Ex0r] | When you install MySQL, does it default to only listen on local ports? I can access it just fine locally, but if I access it remotely it says it can't be reached | 14:54 |
| bekks | [Ex0r]: Yes, by default, it listen to local connections only. | 14:54 |
| [Ex0r] | how can I change it? | 14:55 |
| [Ex0r] | I went in via phpmyadmin and made a new user that accepts connections remotely, but the server itself seems to be blocking remote access | 14:55 |
| OerHeks | [Ex0r], sounds like a router port-forwarding issue | 14:55 |
| [Ex0r] | It's not that, at all, as I am not even connected via a router. | 14:56 |
| OerHeks | then maybe your provider does not allow to run a service, ports <1024 closed | 14:56 |
| Guest50405 | ciao | 14:57 |
| [Ex0r] | No, because it works on other servers | 14:57 |

| [Ex0r] | Is there something in the mysql config that tells it to only listen locally | 14:57 |
| [Ex0r] | ? | 14:57 |
| OerHeks | [Ex0r], no, normally it should work ootb. | 14:58 |
| [Ex0r] | well for some reason it's not. | 14:58 |
| [Ex0r] | And it's only on this server, and i've reinstalled ubuntu four times, using 3 different releases | 14:59 |

| priuon | hello. I am using Linux xubuntu for quite a while now and have't found the time to make the touchpad of the asus notebook it is installed on work. I hoped it would be fine with a new version of xubuntu but 14.04 didn't install the touchpad either. xinput list does not show the touchpad. I can't find it in lshw lspci or lsusb either. Where should the device be visible? | 15:53 |

| antheum | ok so 'cp' tells the computer what you want to do. '/home/yourname/Documents/somefile' is where you are copying the file from. '/home/yourname/Videos/somefile' is where you want the file copied to? is this right | 15:55 |

| absk007 | felipe_, what's your PC specs? | 17:00 |
| yeats | felipefg: obviously, you have to be able to boot for that | 17:00 |
| felipefg | indeed | 17:00 |
| TJ- | felipe_: freezing (implies interrupt routine issue) or just spinning (endlessly doing something intensive) ? | 17:00 |
| felipefg | well it's a Xen guest VM | 17:00 |
| felipefg | I can always mount the filesystem from the host and run apt-get to install it | 17:00 |
| TJ- | felipe_: Does it still spin if you interrupt the DomU's boot by having it use a different init system, e.g. add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel command-line? | 17:01 |
| OerHeks | absk007, the ones in use seems oke | 17:01 |
| felipefg | TJ-: seems to be spinning endlessly | 17:01 |
| absk007 | OerHeks, ok. | 17:01 |
| felipefg | TJ-: well, no. I tried removing the fstab, for example, and it falls into a shell with the root filesystem mounted ro | 17:02 |
| felipefg | let me try the init=/bin/bash | 17:02 |
| TJ- | felipefg: It didn't spin in the initrd shell I assume? | 17:03 |

| felipefg | it freezes after "stopping flush early jobs output to logs " | 17:04 |
| Raymond | thank you :) | 17:04 |
| felipefg | at least thats what apperas last | 17:04 |

| BirdOwl | How do I verify my username again, its been a while and I have forgotten? | 17:08 |
| TJ- | felipe_: any clues if you enable maximum kernel debug logs on its command line with "debug" (and removing any "quiet splash" entries) ? You could also add "single" to boot to runlevel 1 single-user mode to see if that makes a difference | 17:08 |
| antheum | Is it possible to move a file from one directory to another without copying it | 17:09 |
| BirdOwl | Is it /msn or something like that? | 17:09 |
| hyde | Raymond: though, if you want a more pedantic answer: C/C++ are compiled languages. C/C++ doesn't really run anywhere. It is compiled to a binary executable. But yes, there are C and C++ compilers which can produce binary which runs on Ubuntu ;) | 17:10 |
| wligtenberg | antheum, yes, with the mv command | 17:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | BirdOwl: I think you mean /msg nickserv followed by the command, you can also /query nickserv and get a window just for it, which can save you from muli-line disasters | 17:10 |
| k1l | !identify | BirdOwl | 17:12 |
| ubottu | BirdOwl: You can identify to NickServ automatically when connecting to freenode. See https://www.freenode.net/faq.shtml#identify for more information. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 17:12 |
| felipefg | not that I can see.. kernel messages cease before it freezes. I'm browsing /var/log/dmesg but they seem to be from an old boot, back on july when the machine worked fine | 17:12 |
| TJ- | felipe_: Not for a separate /var/ that's out of space? | 17:14 |

| TJ- | felipe_: s/for/got/ | 17:14 |
| BirdOwl | SchrodingersScat, k1l: Ah thanks, wish I could set Xchat to automatically do that, can it? | 17:14 |
| k1l | BirdOwl: set freenode pw as the server pw in the settings | 17:14 |
| felipefg | nop, only one root filesystem, with 16G free | 17:14 |
| antheum | wligtenberg: that worked pretty well. Thank you :-) | 17:16 |
| felipefg | any way to force upstart to run serially, so at least I can see which script runs before it freezes? | 17:16 |
| TJ- | felipe_: OK... well my first act would be the "/init/bash" test to find out if the cause is due to init scripts or not. If it is, I'd selectively disable init scripts and/or enable verbose Upstart logging | 17:16 |
| wligtenberg | antheum: you are most welcome :) | 17:16 |
| TJ- | felipefg: I wish there were! :) | 17:17 |

| Bombo | Bluewolf: or you just generate the md5 sum for the iso, then look if it matches | 18:58 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: just generate it, type 'md5sum the.iso' prints out a checksum, compare with eyes | 18:58 |
| SchrodingersScat | gumble_: if you do: uname -a ##then it will probably have x86_64 listed, if it's 64bit | 18:59 |
| terrorist | Is there any GUI for rar? | 19:00 |
| gumble_ | SchrodingersScat, but I'd have to reboot and run the live system on the stick for that or not? | 19:00 |
| SchrodingersScat | gumble_: oh, I see | 19:00 |
| * Bombo doesn't want to help terrorist | 19:01 | |
| gumble_ | . | 19:02 |
| SchrodingersScat | gumble_: well, in my xubuntu 32-bit liveusb there's an md5sum.txt, and towards the end there's a few lines like './dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Release' which I would expect to be different on a 64-bit | 19:03 |
| SchrodingersScat | gumble_: also README.diskdefines | 19:03 |
| gumble_ | SchrodingersScat, found it! thanks for the help | 19:03 |
| Bluewolf | Bombo, "md5sum ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso" in the terminal says - No such file or directory? | 19:04 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: you need to be in the folder where the iso lies | 19:04 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: 'cd Downloads' i guess | 19:05 |
| Guest4905 | when using a mysql library , how long should it take other clients to build tumbnails for the new content? | 19:05 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: then 'ls -l' shows a list of files in the current folder | 19:05 |
| Guest4905 | thumbnails | 19:05 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: mysql has nothing to do with thumbnails | 19:05 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia yes i know that | 19:05 |
| ikonia | then why did you ask ? | 19:06 |
| Guest4905 | so ive run a library update, and it seens the new contect but not thumbnails, how does xbmc obtain those, does it do it on demand, or like every 12 hours or something? | 19:06 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: it's the same as with windows (cmd.exe) ;) | 19:06 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: you're probably using cache | 19:06 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia im asking how/when xbmc builds thumbnails when it sees new content | 19:06 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: cd change directory, dir list content of dir | 19:06 |
| === HELPME is now known as Guest85549 | ||
| ikonia | Guest4905: on demand, you're probably using cache | 19:07 |
| Guest85549 | Anyone willing to help? I'm having network issues in Ubuntu?.. | 19:07 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia how do I not use chache? | 19:07 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: flush the cache, check the client documentation | 19:07 |
| bekks | Guest85549: So ask your actual question :) | 19:08 |
| Guest85549 | WELL, Ubuntu can't find my wireless card, so I'm forced to use my iPhone's tethering. | 19:09 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia i dont want to do that, my thumbnails is 2.5 gb and i will loose all that and have to rebuild on each client from scratch? | 19:09 |
| Bluewolf | Bombo, I'm lost, it should not be difficult. How do I get it to checksum the .iso in my downloads, all I need is the hash and I will compare it with my eyes? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: your thunbnails would be either huge or an amaging number to be over 2GB | 19:09 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: you could just clear the cache for the files you want to refresh | 19:09 |
| norchacha | is this where I ask my ubuntu questions? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | it is | 19:10 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia that thumbnail size is corrent, I have a lot of media, I did a fresh build of them last night so i know its only stuff i have | 19:10 |
| Guest4905 | correct | 19:10 |
| norchacha | I have a question about running python scripts | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: that seems unrealistic but does not change what I said | 19:11 |
| norchacha | I want to run a cgi-bin server, but everytime I try to run it gives me a 403 error | 19:11 |
| norchacha | python script needs to be executable it says | 19:11 |
| norchacha | however after a log chmods | 19:11 |
| norchacha | and right clicking and making it executable | 19:11 |
| norchacha | it still doesn't work | 19:12 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia what do you mean unrealistic? Last night I deleted Thumbnails and Videodb78, created my library from scratch, and that is the thumbnails size, I have 4tb of media, | 19:12 |
| Artemis3 | Bluewolf, you should use the terminal, cd the the folder and simply run md5sum file. when you open terminal it is cd Downloads to change to the Downloads folder | 19:12 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: as i said, yes | 19:12 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: I have over 4Tb of media and my thumbnails are just a few hundred meg | 19:12 |
| Guest4905 | either way ikonia they seem to be popping up on thier own as textures.db is updated over mysql i believe | 19:12 |
| sudormrf | anyone around that can help me figure out why nagios is not generating alert emails? | 19:12 |
| Artemis3 | Bluewolf, you can autocomplete things by pressing tab when about half the name of folder or file.. case MaTtErs. | 19:13 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia what do you think the issue could be then if that is way to large? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: no idea | 19:13 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: got the term open? | 19:13 |
| iKrevedko | hi) | 19:13 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: just type it | 19:13 |
| Guest4905 | ikonia also my 4tb is 99% sd so 4tb of hd vs sd of course your tthumbnails would be less because you cant fit as many files? | 19:14 |
| === willy is now known as Guest35762 | ||
| ikonia | Guest4905: you have no idea what my content is | 19:14 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: 'cd Downloads' changes to download folder, 'md5sum thefile.iso' shows you the sum. see if it matches. | 19:14 |
| Guest4905 | that was meant to be a question ikonia | 19:15 |
| Guest4905 | do you have alot of hd? | 19:15 |
| Bluewolf | Bombo: Got it, my stupidity has been over come. See if you had done that in the beginning I would have managed, anyway thank you :D | 19:15 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: if you got a file with md5sum in it, you say 'md5sum -c file.md5' and md5sum tells you if its OK or not. no eyes needed | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Guest4905: a reasonable amount | 19:15 |
| Guest4905 | that may be why mine is so big then, i dunno | 19:16 |
| Bombo | Bluewolf: if you done that a couple of times you see its not that complicated ;) | 19:16 |

| Bluewolf | Best I use my eyes ::D | 19:17 |
| SchrodingersScat | quantibility: you probably want #freenode | 19:17 |

| Beldar | skinofstars, Probably goes no where is all. Problem is users add ppa's and 3rd party stuff which can change the app architecture causing failures like this, especially when upgraded incorrectly. | 20:29 |

| winem | arvut: do you have a firewall with configured NAT between your host and the WAN? | 20:33 |
| arvut | winem: the firewall permits ssh traffic, i get to the password prompt in ssh, after accepting the host. | 20:34 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, No efi install not gpt partition table. However the windows is not showing it's boot info to show if uefi | 20:34 |

| Beldar | antheum, Find them and the date you want and read them. | 20:37 |
| Beldar | antheum, NOt sure todays are there you will have to do some of the work is all. | 20:37 |
| jeanlucas | Beldar: yes, I am pretty sure sdb is the first read, I on Windows right now, want me to check anything? | 20:38 |
| antheum | Beldar: is this place called #ubuntu | 20:38 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, pretty sure is not a definitive answer, yes check the bios, and or be sure sdb is rad first to start with. You have grub in sda and sdb mbr's | 20:39 |
| winem | arvut: this sounds weird. do both of you use the same user? | 20:39 |
| Beldar | antheum, yes. | 20:39 |
| newbie|3 | hello | 20:39 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, If it is a uefi bios it should be set as legacy and jut attempt to boot the sdb | 20:40 |
| Beldar | just* | 20:40 |
| jeanlucas | Beldar: I'll try | 20:42 |
| skinofstars | err, who was i just talking to? | 20:42 |
| skinofstars | Beldar: ? | 20:42 |
| winem | arvut: try to except a ssh user related issue | 20:42 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, Windows although bootable seems to have some issues, not being able to see it's boot is not good, might need a chkdsk/f | 20:42 |
| Beldar | skinofstars> Beldar: ? Yes? | 20:43 |
| skinofstars | Beldar: i was missing some packages. fixed with apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 20:44 |
| skinofstars | Beldar: thanks for your help | 20:44 |
| Beldar | skinofstars, Cool, so you are set? | 20:45 |
| Beldar | no problem | 20:45 |
| skinofstars | Beldar: all cool :) | 20:45 |
| Beldar | skinofstars, 14.04 has 5 years support so stick with it. | 20:45 |

| kcj | Any ubuntu ops around? PM please. | 20:47 |
| Beldar | kcj, they have a channel what is the issue? | 20:48 |
| guntbert | kcj: you can /join #ubuntu-ops | 20:49 |
| jeanlucas | Beldar: me again, it was already Legacy and I booted from sda and sdb, both cases grub only sees Windows7 | 20:49 |
| winem | sorry, but what does ops mean? operators / admins?! | 20:49 |
| KM0201 | winem: pretty much just some folks on a power trip.. :) | 20:51 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, Do a check on the windows from a right click on it in computers. I wonder if you have gotten grub into it's boot partition, can't tell as of now. Besides that you have a lvm for ubuntu, so it is a hunt and peck at possibilities. Getting windows straight is a good start to knock out outliers. | 20:51 |
| kcj | Thanks. | 20:51 |
| winem | KM0201: ok, thanks :) | 20:51 |
| Beldar | winem, Channel moderators | 20:51 |

| Beldar | KM0201, You are not new here, try acting like an adult and follow the channels rules, this is support | 20:53 |

| Thyrth | This is what I am talkin about | 20:56 |
| Beldar | KM0201, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines read carefully please, your posting opinions...etc just misslead users as we clearly saw. | 20:57 |
| KM0201 | Thyrth: i've got the netflix app.. (i didn't click your link).. it's working fine. | 20:57 |
| Dragin | Is there a channel to help install rscw and fftw? | 20:57 |
| KM0201 | oh geez | 20:57 |
| Trudko | guys any idea why when I run video in default video app in ubuntu video is slow when I run it in vlc it works nicely | 20:57 |
| Thyrth | I'm also kinda new to Ubuntu as well | 20:58 |
| Beldar | Thyrth, Technically both 3rd party and not supported. | 20:58 |
| Beldar | Thyrth, You may get help, the time of wait may be a factor is all. | 20:59 |
| MonkeyDust | Thyrth the more new users we see, the better | 20:59 |
| KM0201 | Thyrth: have you looked at this?.. the netflix app works fine for me... http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ | 20:59 |
| Thyrth | I am new to it I switch over from Windows its annoying | 20:59 |
| jeanlucas | Beldar: yeah, I had Ubuntu, installed Windows and Grub disappeared, as expected and then used bootrepair and after that I got here. | 21:00 |
| KM0201 | wel, you hopefully kept Windows around while you troubleshoot | 21:00 |
| MonkeyDust | Thyrth learn ubuntu like you learned windows: by using it and getting familiar with it | 21:00 |
| Thyrth | Nah I'm done with Windows I dislike it | 21:00 |
| expunge | Thyrth: there's a good extension for Firefox called uacontrol | 21:01 |
| KM0201 | Thyrth: well, hopefully that works fo ryou... most people who go cold turkey like that, end up reinstalling windows when they get some insurmountable problem they can't figure out in 10min | 21:01 |
| Thyrth | Yeah I am famliar with this app but what I am using it uses html5 | 21:01 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, Yes that is a given, can do a chk on the windows setup so we can see it's boot to rule out grub having been put there? That will cause this eaxct issue. | 21:01 |
| expunge | but I'm pretty sure you can get a netflix app that works on its own | 21:01 |
| expunge | Thyrth: it uses html5 and incorrectly relies on ua sniffing? | 21:01 |
| Thyrth | ua sniffing I donnu | 21:02 |
| jeanlucas | Beldar: I'm not a Windows user, how do I do it? | 21:02 |
| klemax | Hello, is there a way to downgrade from php 5.5 to php5.2 or php5.3? | 21:02 |
| Beldar | jeanlucas, Go to computer right click the C partiton and there is a disc chk in one of the tabs, it will need a reboot to run is all. | 21:03 |
| Thyrth | I've been on ubuntu for more than two weeks I'm quit happy with it | 21:03 |
| Beldar | Thyrth, Two issue this is not chat, second preface answers to others with their nick, this is support only. | 21:03 |
| polarfuchs | i just finished to install manually the very last version of Geary (e-mail client), because the one present in the repo is not up-to-date. But I'm looking for the way to start geary in french (or any other language). can someone help me? | 21:04 |

| jakesyl | is sftp different then ssh or does sftp tunnel through ssh | 21:26 |
| Beldar | ga_sk8er, Find the pepper flash download, it is more up to date but has it's limitations. And address any instructions you are missing or don't understand. | 21:26 |
| hakkal | Hello, after I did "sudo apt-get update" I got stuck at "100% [Waiting for headers]" Is there any fix for this? Thanks | 21:26 |
| Guest10323 | sorry nick i was typing out my question | 21:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | jakesyl: believe it uses ssh | 21:27 |
| nuf0xx | ga_sk8er: see teh wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash | 21:27 |
| jakesyl | so why would this work with ssh and not sftp | 21:27 |
| Beldar | hakkal, Stuck how long? How many times have you just shut it down and tried again? | 21:27 |
| Guest10323 | any help or advice? | 21:27 |
| Beldar | Guest10323, Right click what you want as wallpaper and click set as wallpaper. | 21:28 |
| hakkal | Beldar: I tried update 2 times, both stuck without response. | 21:28 |
| Guest10323 | beldar, i cant. i do that and nothing happens | 21:29 |
| Beldar | Guest10323, Has to be a wallpaper friendly picture and nothing happens is an empty response | 21:29 |
| Beldar | hakkal, Try sudo apt-get -f install | 21:30 |
| hakkal | Beldar: Looks like it moved after 5 min of waiting. Maybe there was bad connection. Thank you for help | 21:30 |
| ga_sk8er | alot of times if the image has movement (like a gif) the system wont allow you to set it as wallpaper | 21:30 |
| Beldar | hakkal, That can be the case, you can change the mirrors if needed. | 21:31 |
| Guest10323 | so i might have the wrong type of picture? hm okay? oh and im not trying to be rude its just that literally nothing happens on the screen. the right click menu stays open and i can click over and over again and nothing | 21:31 |
| Beldar | Guest10323, We know no rudeness intended, it is just details are pertinent, it does take awhile to understand what details. | 21:32 |

| ga_sk8er | im running the new 14.4 version of ubuntu. last time i ran ubuntu was the version 12.04 | 21:39 |
| Beldar | ga_sk8er, Does not answer the question, broad statements like "never had this issue" mean nothing is all. | 21:39 |
| Beldar | and bypasses your own skill and knowledge level | 21:40 |
| ga_sk8er | no i didnt know anything about flash & lniux since version 12 so i didnt know they quit any support for it | 21:40 |

| koell | i tried 1360x768 but this is too big for me, 1920x1080 is too small. i think 1600x900 would be great. | 22:51 |
| arrrghhh | quantibility, #apache doesn't work? if you're running ubuntu-server the #ubuntu-server guys are helpful. | 22:51 |
| quantibility | i haven't yet familarized myself with Xchat, i more familar with mirc | 22:51 |
| daftykins | koell: that's not how resolutions work, you have to use the exact resolution of your display, then change the DPI if you have issues with the size | 22:52 |
| koell | daftykins: my native resolution is 1920x1080 but i would like to use 1600x900 for my eyes | 22:52 |
| quantibility | cant not send to channel probably cause my account has been logined into in forever | 22:52 |
| arrrghhh | quantibility, /j #apache-help | 22:52 |
| arrrghhh | and you may need to be authenticated (logged into with nickserv) | 22:52 |
| quantibility | yeah working on retiving | 22:53 |
| daftykins | quantibility: yeah go register, ask in #freenode if you have issues | 22:53 |
| koell | hmm, im using 1360x768 now. very sad there is no 1600x900 to choose from, as it is 16:9 as well. weird thing | 22:53 |
| daftykins | like i say you shouldn't just try and pick a resolution | 22:53 |
| arrrghhh | koell, how about this - try switching large text ON with 1920x1080 | 22:53 |
| daftykins | nevermind. | 22:53 |
| arrrghhh | (it's under universal access) | 22:54 |
| koell | arrrghhh: i tried, but some apps dont use the big text then. it is not a highdpi screen so i think this is the wrong way | 22:54 |
| koell | i may call the support to change the display to 1600 | 22:54 |
| arrrghhh | hm | 22:54 |
| koell | im just look into https://www.google.at/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ubuntu+choose+1600x900 | 22:55 |
| koell | maybe it is a driver problem. i mean i can use 1600 on windows... | 22:56 |
| arrrghhh | koell, if you want to get crazy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 22:56 |
| koell | thanks, ill give a try | 22:57 |
| arrrghhh | that guy was trying to force a higher resolution, but was using the same link | 22:58 |

| felipefg | Another thing that has bugged me for a while. If I apt-get remove (or purge) a package, next time I fire up aptitude it's marked to be installed. How do I keep it from happening? | 23:01 |
| Beldar | felipefg, Why are you using both, you can clean the apt cache etc? I never use aptitude. | 23:03 |
| Ademan | The "Fira Sans" font is available in both otf and ttf formats, is one any better for Ubuntu than the other? (For instance if otf includes kerning information in a usable way unlike the ttf hinting) | 23:04 |
| Beldar | Ademan, Better is a subjective opinion, use what works for you. | 23:04 |
| Ademan | Beldar: that's true of a lot of things, however there is absolutely an objective "better" in this case | 23:05 |
| Ademan | but thanks | 23:05 |
| Beldar | Ademan, exactly objectivity may not even exist. ;) | 23:06 |
| felipefg | Beldar: I really like the aptitude user interface, when using it interactively. The uninstall via apt-get is done via scripts. Actually via ansible (which uses the python-apt binding, but the behaviour is the same as if I use apt-get on the command line) | 23:06 |
| Beldar | you may have a reasoning that suggests it does here however it is an opinion and subjective | 23:07 |
| Beldar | felipefg, I would only use aptitude if there was some dependencies that were involved and needed controlling. | 23:08 |
| Ademan | Beldar: I'm not really interested in debating the existence of objectivity, I actually sort of agree, but what you're saying isn't useful for this discussion | 23:09 |
| Beldar | Ademan, The problem here is best is not a support issue per-say both work correct? | 23:10 |
| arrrghhh | felipefg, I use aptitude - but only aptitude. Works fine here... | 23:12 |
| Beldar | Ademan, If one did and the other did not it would be a closed issue. You disregarded my basic hint that it was not a support issue, I will assume not knowing the channels norms. | 23:13 |
| spadorleo | Hello :) | 23:14 |
| daftykins | hi | 23:14 |
| daftykins | aaand bye. | 23:14 |
| Ademan | So anyways, does anyone know if opentype fonts behave any better than true type fonts on Ubuntu? | 23:16 |
| cooldog | hello | 23:16 |
| felipefg | yeah, unfortunately using aptitude only would create a pretty bad anti-pattern on my automation scripts, as ansible's apt module doesn't give me this option | 23:16 |
| quantibility | logged in | 23:17 |
| quantibility | woot | 23:17 |
| felipefg | aptitude-only would be really convenient :-) | 23:17 |
| cooldog | ty | 23:17 |
| felipefg | it seems aptitude keep-all will remedy things. Guess I'll just use that | 23:18 |

| adamweld | hi fellas | 23:23 |
| Ademan | Hrm just as I suspected, it looks like otf stores hinting information differently from ttf's bytecode | 23:23 |
