| nooblesoup | Hello? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| nooblesoup | Is anyone here? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | yes? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | ask your question | 00:02 |
| quantibility | eh, in spirit | 00:02 |
| nooblesoup | Is there an Ubuntu with similar packages pre-installed to Kali Linux? | 00:03 |
| daftykins | nooblesoup: no | 00:05 |
| navetz | hey guys. I'm running ubuntu 14.04 and anytime I open a program I get this in the command line: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk" | 00:05 |
| jlim | wtf 14.04.1 and still bluetooth headset not working!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!????? | 00:05 |
| navetz | How can I solve this? | 00:05 |
| daftykins | navetz: you're running GUI programs from a terminal? why | 00:06 |
| jlim | what is going on with 14.04 lts and bluetooth not working?>????!!!! | 00:06 |
| navetz | daftykins, to see why things keep crashing. This is the error I get when I run them from the terminal | 00:06 |
| daftykins | navetz: you didn't mention that | 00:07 |
| jlim | 14.04 is still beta then leave at beta!!!! | 00:07 |
| jlim | wtf | 00:07 |
| daftykins | jlim: it's not beta, just because you as one person can't get *your* bluetooth working doesn't mean it needs more work | 00:07 |
| jlim | bluetooth always worked until 14.04 | 00:08 |
| navetz | daftykins, ah sorry thought i gave enough info with the error message, any idea what's going on/ | 00:08 |
| eeee_ | navetz: try sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-oxygen | 00:08 |
| daftykins | jlim: go back to 12.04.5 then | 00:08 |
| jlim | i should have to figure out how to make it work.. it is supposed to already work!!! | 00:08 |
| jlim | shouldn't* | 00:09 |
| daftykins | jlim: stop complaining or you won't get any assistance | 00:09 |
| jlim | that doesn't work either | 00:09 |
| navetz | daftykins, error message gone! thanks that's been a problem for a while | 00:09 |
| jlim | daftykins: the installer does not have my video driver supported | 00:09 |
| jlim | have to go back to 14.04.1 | 00:09 |
| daftykins | navetz: actually it was eeee_ that helped you ;) | 00:10 |
| jlim | because ubuntu is not supporting .2 .3 and .4 | 00:10 |
| jlim | unbelievable | 00:10 |
| daftykins | jlim: what are you talking about .2 .3 and .4? | 00:10 |
| jlim | ubuntu is really swirling down the bowl | 00:10 |
| jlim | they are not supporting the hardware stack on .2 .3 .4 | 00:11 |
| jlim | only .1 and .5 is supporte3d | 00:11 |
| navetz | daftykins, ahh whoops, eeee_ thanks for the help! Oh man all of my programs look old and ugly now haha | 00:11 |
| jlim | terrible | 00:11 |
| daftykins | jlim: you're chatting utter rubbish | 00:12 |
| eeee_ | navetz: np | 00:12 |
| jlim | oh yeah? | 00:12 |
| eeee_ | jlim: i agree with daftykins | 00:12 |
| jlim | try installing .5 on something | 00:12 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| daftykins | you can run 12.04.5 with the 3.2.0 kernel or you can run the trusty HWE | 00:13 |
| daftykins | fail to see the issue here | 00:13 |
| daftykins | jlim: you say 12.04.x doesn't come with graphics drivers... sooo install them? really i fail to see how you're creating an issue for yourself | 00:13 |
| navetz | eeee_, is there any way I could switch from using gtk2-engines-oxygen to whatever 14.04 is suppose to use? | 00:13 |
| navetz | eeee_, I've been upgrading the same system for years so I think some stuff is still left behind | 00:14 |
| dawu | OK. Just updated to ubuntu 14.04 today.. and having an issue trying to get my dual monitors working.. when i use the gui settings it blacks out one screen, and when i use xrandr command to move my screen left of primary monitor it returns a fatal error and says missing 11 resources.... | 00:16 |
| daftykins | dawu: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:16 |
| eeee_ | navetz: not sure, try sudo apt-get install gtk3-engines-oxygen | 00:16 |
| navetz | eeee_, thanks | 00:16 |
| dawu | ok, hold on a sec please | 00:17 |
| jlim | they give an option to upgrade the hardware stack from .4 .5 but the upgrade fails | 00:18 |
| jlim | lol | 00:18 |
| eeee_ | navetz: what dm are you using ? | 00:18 |
| jlim | so i got wipe everything and load 12.04.1 | 00:19 |
| navetz | eeee_, what's a dm? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | jlim: .1 is EOL, you shouldn't run EOL. | 00:19 |
| navetz | desktop manager? | 00:19 |
| jlim | why? | 00:19 |
| jlim | what is EOL? | 00:19 |
| eeee_ | sorry, de, desktop environment, like lxde, xfce, unity, etc. | 00:20 |
| eeee_ | ( @ navetz ) | 00:20 |
| jlim | i am loading it now because it is the only lts version the currently works | 00:20 |
| navetz | eeee_, ahh unity | 00:20 |
| jlim | daftykins: what is EOL? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | !eol | 00:21 |
| 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 | 00:21 |
| jlim | !eol | 00:21 |
| daftykins | jlim: the bot trigger message is already above, you don't type it again. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | what makes you think you have to type the same thing 0o | 00:21 |
| jlim | how lts have eol? | 00:21 |
| daftykins | because you need to be updated to .5 | 00:21 |
| jlim | lts is supposed to be 5 years | 00:21 |
| daftykins | all this info is available online | 00:22 |
| daftykins | yes and only updated installs are supported | 00:22 |
| jlim | .5 will not load | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ok so explain why this is | 00:22 |
| jlim | the installer is screwed | 00:22 |
| daftykins | no it's not, it works for everyone else | 00:22 |
| dawu | wow, i ran the xrandr command again but this time, i noticed it worked however it blacked out my right monitor (primary) but for some reason it was also responsive, like i could click on windows over there but blindly. Going to look at log | 00:22 |
| jlim | not for me | 00:22 |
| daftykins | jlim: right so do you want us to help or do you want to just sit there complaining? | 00:22 |
| jlim | you going to fix the .5 installer for me or are you going to fix 14.04.1 | 00:23 |
| WilsonMhmm | I'm have major connection issues connecting to several Ubuntu URLs for updates... | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | daftykins, there is an issue with hardwarestack upgrade | 00:23 |
| daftykins | jlim: you need to describe your issues properly first | 00:23 |
| jlim | 14.04 bluetooth not working. 12.04.5 installer has no support for my video card | 00:24 |
| WilsonMhmm | Are there any mirrors for Update URLs? | 00:24 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: how-so? that's only one of the described scenarios to be honest | 00:24 |
| daftykins | WilsonMhmm: what do you mean when you say 'update URLs' ? | 00:25 |
| eeee_ | WilsonMhmm: is this a server or you have GUI ? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | oh repos. | 00:25 |
| WilsonMhmm | Like when I run Software Update or sudo apt-get update or synaptic | 00:25 |
| daftykins | use the main archive.ubuntu.com | 00:26 |
| Kamuela | Is there a way to change the screen resolution via the terminal? | 00:26 |
| jlim | daftykins: says on the ubuntu website that 12.04.1 hardware stack is supported for the duration | 00:26 |
| WilsonMhmm | Example: Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com trusty/universe Translation-en_US 100% [Waiting for headers] | 00:26 |
| WilsonMhmm | This happens for several minutes then Software update reports failed to download... | 00:27 |
| eeee_ | WilsonMhmm: that's correct feedback there | 00:27 |
| daftykins | jlim: right, but not release .1 which is what the conversation was about. | 00:27 |
| eeee_ | WilsonMhmm: what do you mean it reports failed to download? what's the error msg? | 00:28 |
| dawu | this is the log for my xorg | 00:28 |
| dawu | http://pastebin.com/GbZ5svHD | 00:28 |
| MannyLNJ | Hello. I'm very clueless when it comes to any OS other than windows. I'm runnung Ubuntu from a USB and I need to copy all files with doc, and jpg extensions from /media/ubuntu/Old Drive to /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup how do I do this? | 00:28 |
| gr33n7007h | Kamuela, xrandr -s wxh | 00:28 |
| jlim | well if it is the only that will install and work what am i supposed to do? | 00:28 |
| daftykins | jlim: you are making us go around in circles. you haven't explained what's wrong with installing 12.04.5 in any proper detail, so i'm giving up sorry. | 00:29 |
| dawu | Again, the problem i run into is when i use xrandr command to move HDMI-1-0 left of LVDS-1-0 it does the trick but lvds monitor for some reason becomes a black screen | 00:29 |
| WilsonMhmm | Give me one second to reproduce error | 00:29 |
| jlim | daftykins: this is the third time.......... 12.04.5 INSTALLER DOES NOT SUPPORT MY VIDEO CARD...... | 00:30 |
| daftykins | jlim: right and you didn't explain in enough detail. given up, sorry. godbye. | 00:30 |
| daftykins | +o | 00:30 |
| daftykins | dawu: is this a laptop with nvidia optimus? i see GT 650M | 00:31 |
| jim1 | how can i set gnome to default de?cause every time i boot up i jave to choose either gnome or unity | 00:31 |
| jlim | daftykins: yes | 00:31 |
| jlim | every ubuntu installed fine but 12.04.5 | 00:31 |
| daftykins | dawu: you should be using nvidia-settings to configure really | 00:32 |
| jlim | daftykins: yes it is the nvidia nv650 | 00:32 |
| WilsonMhmm | Software Update reports error: Failed to download repository information. Check your internet connection buttons are settings try again and ok | 00:32 |
| dawu | daftykins: correct, I have the proprietary 331.38 drivers installed | 00:32 |
| Kamuela | gr33n7007h: Do you think a toggle could be made as a clickable script on the desktop? Meaning if this resolution, switch to that, else switch to that | 00:32 |
| jlim | dafty i have to get it installed before i can install the nvidia drivers!! | 00:33 |
| daftykins | dawu: but is it optimus, so coupled with intel graphics? so that bumblebee or nvidia-prime is in use? | 00:33 |
| daftykins | jlim: i'm not talking to you. i told you i gave up, goodbye. | 00:33 |
| jlim | useless | 00:33 |
| daftykins | yes, yes you are | 00:33 |
| gr33n7007h | Kamuela, probably | 00:33 |
| jlim | forget it dafty don't help me | 00:33 |
| daftykins | i'm not. | 00:34 |
| daftykins | bye | 00:34 |
| dawu | daftykins, i do not have bumblebee installed, just the generic drivers. but yes it does have the optimus tech | 00:34 |
| dawu | i dont care enough to use it though because i use my laptop as a desktop really | 00:34 |
| jlim | daftykins: thank you | 00:34 |
| daftykins | dawu: hrmm, i'm amazed that it's still functioning, usually when people install the nvidia drivers it breaks X entirely for them. perhaps you have one of those systems that lets you choose which graphics to use in the BIOS? or perhaps ubuntu installed nvidia-prime automatically | 00:35 |
| benzhninja|sleep | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MRzPLOk_o4 | 00:36 |
| jlim | daftykins: nope every other distro installs fine. only 12.04.5 does not | 00:36 |
| daftykins | benzhninja|sleep: don't link videos in here. | 00:37 |
| benzhninja|sleep | ok | 00:37 |
| daftykins | or at least say what it is and how it's relevant to your question :P | 00:37 |
| dawu | hm.. I've only had problems when trying to use optimus, but since i dont really need it i just have in my nvidia settings to always use the gpu and its never been problematic for me, at least when i was in 12.04 | 00:37 |
| daftykins | dawu: it might be worth trying to purge the nvidia drivers entirely then, if you're up for that | 00:37 |
| dawu | im really curious as to why the screen just blacks out though.. | 00:38 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup \; | 00:38 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: Thank you. Trying that now | 00:40 |
| daftykins | dawu: are you configuring with Monitors or nvidia-settings then? | 00:41 |
| jlim | i am done with ubuntu | 00:41 |
| dawu | i guess i will have to play around with nvidia | 00:43 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: np, that's for .jpg, it's the same command except replace "*.jpg" with "*.doc" to copy the docs | 00:43 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: I pasted find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup \; and it's moving all files not just .jpg ones | 00:43 |
| daftykins | yay jlim left | 00:43 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: yikes! my bad, put -iname before "*.jpg" | 00:43 |
| eeee_ | :) | 00:43 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive -iname "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup \; | 00:44 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: Thanbks. Now it's throwing errors on some files "Value too large for defined data type" | 00:45 |
| === sergio is now known as Guest9914 | ||
| dawu | daftykins: im just gonna purge everything and install it the way i know. I wonder if there are just conflicts or something. I'll be back to tell you if it wored:p | 00:48 |
| WilsonMhmm | This distro is rapidly going down hill. Support is a pain. Packages are out-of-date not to mention the name convention for package is just unreadable. it's impossible to get problems diagnosed let alone fixed. | 00:48 |
| daftykins | ok | 00:48 |
| daftykins | WilsonMhmm: working fine here and for lots of users we get in | 00:49 |
| daftykins | WilsonMhmm: still repo trouble huh? | 00:49 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: the full error for some files are cp: failed to extend ‘/media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup/<some file name>’: Value too large for defined data type | 00:50 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: not sure, but try this | 00:51 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive -iname "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup + | 00:51 |
| === master is now known as blueingress | ||
| WilsonMhmm | Yeah well half those users don't understand how out-of-date some packages are. And yes this is an on going problem. I feel like I spend so much time diagnosing these problems all I do is work and fix my Ubuntu problems. | 00:51 |
| daftykins | WilsonMhmm: uh-huh, well feel free to ask for a refund and buy a copy of Windows | 00:51 |
| daftykins | :) | 00:51 |
| MannyLNJ | find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive -iname "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /media/ubuntu/3882-C811/backup + respnds with find: missing argument to `-exec' | 00:52 |
| WilsonMhmm | You know I understand Ubuntu is free but considering other free based options, a lot of them contain less problems and even more less attitude as I've seen you spread around this chat room today. | 00:52 |
| daftykins | another happy customer. | 00:53 |
| physixer | I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 (x86_64 desktop, nvidia graphics) and unity is not working. I have tried a lot of options. Luckily I had awesomewm installed so I tried it and am able to log on to it. So lightdm works, I can log in, awesomwm works, but in unity, only mouse and wallpaper are visible. Need help! | 00:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, try downgrading to an older nvidia driver. | 00:57 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: any other ideas? | 00:57 |
| daftykins | physixer: try http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html | 00:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, I had the same issue. | 00:58 |
| physixer | Seven_Six_Two: well I had nvidia-331 installed with 12.04, that was causing this issue, I upgraded to nvidia-340, and the problem is exactly the same (no change). | 00:58 |
| physixer | daftykins: ok lemme take a look. | 00:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, did you install 12.04 when it was new? | 00:58 |
| Loshki | MannyLNJ: you are missing an argument. cp needs two args... | 00:58 |
| physixer | Seven_Six_Two: no I upgraded 12.04 from 10.04 | 00:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, meaning, is the laptop over 4 years old? | 00:59 |
| physixer | the desktop is from 2011 | 00:59 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: the first arg is {} ( results from the find command) | 00:59 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: it has to do with the naming of your folder, Old Drive | 00:59 |
| Loshki | eeee_: correct, the first and only arg is {}. I repeat, cp needs 2 args... | 00:59 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: if you can rename it temporarily to Old_Drive it should work | 00:59 |
| dawu | ohhh god things got even worse | 00:59 |
| MannyLNJ | Loshki: I was using what eeee_ told me to try | 00:59 |
| lanuxpr0 | How can I set 2 gigs of my RAM for dedicated swap? | 01:00 |
| Loshki | MannyLNJ: so where do you want these files to be copied *to*? | 01:00 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: how do you mean? the second argument is /media/... | 01:00 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: If you explain to me how to rename it I will attempt it | 01:00 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: it works here, just when i make a folder with a space in its name as the source it doesnt work anymore | 01:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, oh sorry, desktop. ok, 3 years old? maybe switch to 173? | 01:00 |
| dawu | daftykins: i purged everything, and did it the way i did on 12.04... and.. aliens... idk what the hell is going on.. i have to see.. but when i went to switch where my monitors where through generic settings.. thats when things went to hell.. | 01:01 |
| Loshki | Oops. My bad. There is a line break after {} in my xchat window. | 01:01 |
| daftykins | dawu: aliens? :P | 01:01 |
| dawu | now there is a black box around windows, and x and - buttons on windows.. and the screens are mirrored | 01:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | physixer, I have a 4 year old laptop, and the 304 doesn't work for me. | 01:01 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: if you can rename the Old Drive to Old_Drive it will work, i tried it here and the space in the name is causing the error, no idea why though | 01:01 |
| Loshki | eeee_: MannyLNJ: In that case, the terminating semicolon is missing... | 01:01 |
| eeee_ | sorry | 01:01 |
| dawu | I also got this message: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 63 | 01:01 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: we tried \; in the command, and it is complaining about Value too large for some files | 01:02 |
| daftykins | dawu: check your upgrade worked properly with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 01:02 |
| dawu | alright | 01:02 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: so we are attempting to copy them in a different fashion using "+" | 01:02 |
| physixer | Seven_Six_Two: I guess my case is different, nvidia-331 was working perfectly with 12.04 (I have a 500 series geforce so not really that old, still supported by nvidia's latest drivers) | 01:02 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: Would you walk me through renaming the drive or directory | 01:02 |
| physixer | Seven_Six_Two: I'm gonna try daftykins's link | 01:02 |
| lanuxpr0 | How can I set 2 gigs of my RAM for dedicated swap? | 01:02 |
| daftykins | lanuxpr0: you're joking right? what you've just said shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what swap is. | 01:03 |
| jim1 | hello,is there any way to set gnome-shell as my default de?cause everytime i boot up i see the unity de and i have to chose gnome to open...ty | 01:03 |
| lanuxpr0 | daftykins: I thought swap extends your ram, so when I run out of ram I want my 2 gigs of ram to be used | 01:03 |
| dawu | daftykins: there are things to upgrade.. but why is there nouveau packages from xserver-xorg..? | 01:04 |
| daftykins | lanuxpr0: no, swap is used after RAM is filled. | 01:04 |
| ObrienDave | swap does NOT extend your RAM | 01:04 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: mv /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive /media/ubuntu/OldDrive | 01:04 |
| dawu | and from other places | 01:04 |
| jim1 | swap is a virtual memory | 01:04 |
| jim1 | that takes place in the hdd | 01:04 |
| jim1 | and its more slower than the ram | 01:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lanuxpr0, you can create a drive in memory and use it for processes that are write intensive. That speeds up reads and writes. | 01:05 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: Do I need to unmount it first? ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/ubuntu$ sudo mv /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive /media/ubuntu/OldDrive mv: cannot move ‘/media/ubuntu/Old Drive’ to ‘/media/ubuntu/OldDrive’: Device or resource busy | 01:05 |
| jim1 | it only exists and is like a renzervous to your ram so if the ram is filled swap is used..also swap frees up ram to make your system run smoother | 01:05 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: oh | 01:06 |
| dawu | im scared to allow this update | 01:06 |
| dawu | or upgrade | 01:06 |
| Loshki | eeee_: Ah, I see. I've never used "+". There is a workaround for the space-in-filenames issue. The -print0 option? | 01:06 |
| dawu | *hold breathe* | 01:06 |
| dawu | *is about to pass out* | 01:07 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: still not working | 01:07 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: and Loshki I know just enough to be dangerous so I'm being very careful. My friend's drive is failing so I'm trying to save her documents and pictures. | 01:08 |
| satria | hai | 01:08 |
| satria | hello | 01:08 |
| daftykins | dawu: because nouveau got updated :D | 01:08 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: i see, thats what the error might be about, (value too large) i just googled it a while ago and somebody mentioned it could be caused by bad sectors | 01:08 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: but some were saying if you copy the files one by one they copy | 01:08 |
| dawu | i hate gpu's.. i wish things were different in life | 01:09 |
| Loshki | eeee_: find -print0 needs to be combined with xargs -0 to work properly I think. | 01:10 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: so now can I (meaning some telling me what to do) pipe the list of bad files to one file and I can then use that as an input source to copy one by one? Or is there another alternative? | 01:10 |
| eeee_ | Loshki: oh, yeah, let me try | 01:10 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: yeah i was thinking about that | 01:10 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: maybe this find will work though | 01:10 |
| eeee_ | or there's another way | 01:10 |
| Loshki | eeee_: MannyLNJ: yes, you can list the files into a file, do a quick edit, and I think it would be an effective workaround. | 01:11 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: How do I do that? | 01:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MannyLNJ, can you program at all? I'm just learning, so not a good coach, but that should be fairly simple in perl. | 01:13 |

| ObrienDave | swap is NOT extra memory | 01:24 |
| OerHeks | lanuxpr0, you can make a ramdisk, and put swap there .. | 01:24 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: waiting for find /media/ubuntu/Old\ Drive "*.jpg" -exec echo {} >> ~/tocopy \; to complete | 01:24 |
| lanuxpr0 | ObrienDave: but I dont want my ram to be full, thats why i want swap in there | 01:24 |

| ObrienDave | lanuxpr0, you have X amount of RAM, you want to make a RAM drive to use as swap, that will leave LESS RAM for your system to use. don't you see that that is WRONG? | 01:31 |

| MannyLNJ | expunge: I believe so | 01:39 |
| TJ- | eeee_: No... the source files have sparse allocations, in this case just before the EOF ... that causes problems for 'cp' when it is trying to efficiently copy extents because it tries to reproduce the sparse holes in the files | 01:39 |

| user99393 | Is there any way I can get better performance with grep and long irc logs? | 01:43 |
| wafflejock | niop, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libjpeg-dev <-- perhaps that's what you're looking for? | 01:43 |
| physixer | my issue is fixed. I had to use daftykins's link for resetting compiz and unity (thanks daftykins) but before that I had to disable onboard VGA. I guess onboard-VGA vs nvidia GPU was confusing compiz+unity. Ideally this problem shouldn't happen so this is a a potential bugfix for Ubuntu. | 01:44 |
| wafflejock | user99393, can you show the line you're using | 01:44 |
| daftykins | physixer: no, sounds like an optimus machine | 01:44 |
| daftykins | physixer: so it's known | 01:44 |
| niop | wafflejock: theres libjpeg-dev, libjpeg8 and libjpeg62, among others. one of those is the lib sought? | 01:44 |
| niop | or that should do instead of libjpg? | 01:44 |
| user99393 | wafflejock, grep "brain" example.log | 01:45 |
| physixer | daftykins: I have nvidia geforce 560 Ti ... Intel core i5 on Gigabyte motherboard | 01:45 |
| wafflejock | niop, sometimes packages are named slightly differently in different repos what is it you're trying to get libjpeg for? | 01:45 |

| wafflejock | if, vi use Esc :q Enter to exit, nano or pico I think both use Ctrl+X (Ctrl+O to write out) | 01:57 |
| TJ- | MannyLNJ: the directory where the files you want to recover are... e.g. if the files are in and below "/home/$USER/Pictures", that's the directory to start in. The 'find' will search sub-directories *but* the backup will only be one directory deep... if you need to preserve the directory structure, we need to get a bit more sophisticated | 01:58 |

| photon | Hi. Two hours ago I unmounted an ext4 partition. I tried to remount it half an hour ago, got an error (don't remember the exact wording, but IIRC something about bad descriptors was in it). dmesg showed "group descriptors corrupted" for that partition. I ran fsck on it. It fixed tens of thousands of "Group descriptor ... checksum is invalid." errors, tens of thousands of "Free blocks count wrong for group" errors, and just as many "Inode bitmap differ | 02:19 |
| photon | ences" errors, followed by another bunch of "free inode count wrong" errors. After an hour of fixing, I got no more errors and remounted the partition. At first glance, it seems all my files are still there and intact. What could have caused this? Could it be that the HDD is failing? SMART shows no such indication and no errors. Should I buy a new HDD? Should I reformat? Or can I safely continue to use this partition? Thank you! | 02:19 |

| TJ- | MannyLNJ: I've not seen that before either; not sure how to deal with it | 02:22 |
| wafflejock | Deihmos, believe it tends to take more RAM so it depends on the system for sure | 02:23 |
| Deihmos | i have 8gb | 02:24 |
| Deihmos | actually 12 | 02:24 |
| wafflejock | Deihmos, I do web development so I prefer chromes debug tools and profiling tools most of the time, but firefox does seem a little snappier like you say | 02:24 |
| wafflejock | Deihmos, ah okay well yeah RAM is probably not a huge issue then.. I have 8 too but even so having to populate all the RAM it's using must take some time | 02:24 |

| TJ- | MannyLNJ: I can't reproduce it here either, which makes me wonder if it is something to do with the NTFS file-system I assume is the source | 02:26 |

| ross` | /dev/sda2 260mb fat32 | 02:51 |
| TJ- | MannyLNJ: Is the Live ISO 32-bit ? | 02:51 |
| ross` | which has boot flag | 02:51 |
| MannyLNJ | Random832: 36.8 k | 02:51 |
| ross` | for some reason it shows up in grub but can't be booted from | 02:51 |
| MannyLNJ | TJ-: No 64 Bit | 02:51 |
| eeee_ | MannyLNJ: i think this has to do with bad sectors? | 02:51 |
| eeee_ | TJ-: ? | 02:51 |
| wafflejock | ross`, can you be more specific what happens when you try to boot which OS are you selecting (does either work) | 02:51 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: I think so too | 02:51 |
| ross` | it can't find it | 02:52 |
| ross` | but when ubuntu boots it mounts the windows boot partition in /boot/efi | 02:52 |
| eeee_ | what would happen if he dosfsck'd the drive? | 02:52 |
| ross` | if i look at /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot | 02:52 |
| ross` | i see bootmgfw.efi and bootmgr.efi | 02:52 |
| ross` | grub tries to load bootmgfw.efi and fails | 02:53 |
| ross` | even though it exists | 02:53 |

| ross` | each of those have another Boot dir, then a .efi | 02:54 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: I'm willing to try anything at this point | 02:56 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: How do I check it under the live usb? | 02:59 |
| wafflejock | MannyLNJ, have you tried rsync? or perhaps ddrescue | 02:59 |
| TJ- | MannyLNJ: I may have it .... I wonder if the path length is larger than the maximum allowed... are there some files that succeed, but files with long paths failing, or do short paths fail too? | 02:59 |
| niop | wafflejock: alternative imaging lib for python, Pillow, installed ok.. so using that to avoid headache getting PIL going. | 02:59 |
| MannyLNJ | wafflejock: No to both. I am not familair with either | 03:00 |
| wafflejock | niop, ah well glad you found some work around | 03:00 |
| wafflejock | MannyLNJ, rsync is used for making backups not sure if it will provide more error correcting or attempts since it's generally used over a network but ddrescue has helped me with corrupt DVDs before http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ | 03:01 |
| wafflejock | ddrescue will do multiple passes trying to copy the blocks | 03:01 |
| MannyLNJ | TJ-: it could be the length of the path I'm not sure. | 03:01 |
| wafflejock | it will take anything it's sure of on the first pass then on subsequent passes will try failed block copies | 03:01 |
| ross` | wafflejock: fckin secure boot yo ;0 | 03:02 |
| wafflejock | ross`, yeah I really haven't dealt much with EFI | 03:02 |
| ross` | first time i've made a windows 8 laptop dual boot | 03:03 |

| TJ- | MannyLNJ: can you show us "stat /path/to/file" via the pastebin ? | 03:04 |
| TJ- | MannyLNJ: It's on a NTFS file-system, yes? | 03:05 |
| wafflejock | MannyLNJ, sorry got to this conversation late did you run fsck on the disk would like to know file-system too | 03:05 |
| wafflejock | with NTFS you'll need to use windows CheckDsk utility isntead of fsck I'm pretty sure | 03:05 |
| MannyLNJ | TJ-: Yes NTFS | 03:05 |
| MannyLNJ | eeee_: TJ- wafflejock Pastebin link http://pastebin.com/arGB5La4 | 03:06 |
| MannyLNJ | wafflejock: can't boot into Windows on the trive. Endless repair cycle on Win 8. That's why I'm trying to copy off what I can | 03:06 |
| TJ- | MannyLNJ: I'm wondering if that file has an alternate stream - NTFS allows several different sets of content within one file, the default stream you usually see is :0 but there could be other much larger streams attached. If not that, then I think the block allocation for the file has sparse blocks *and* the block count has been corrupted to some ridiculously large number | 03:06 |
| MannyLNJ | TJ-: dmesg is showing drive errors | 03:07 |
| TJ- | MannerMan: You need to do that again *any* spaces in a path means you must surround the entire path in double or single quotes | 03:07 |
| TJ- | MannerMan: That doesn't surprise me :) | 03:07 |

| MannyLNJ | reisio: Again if she had a backup I would | 03:11 |
| reisio | buy another drive | 03:11 |

| reisio | you had a backup system but you don't have space for a backup? | 03:12 |
| MannyLNJ | reisio: It's not my pc. It's a family friends. I had her setup with a backup to another system in her house. That one started corrupting the files and she didn't tell me until her computer was bsoding | 03:14 |
| reisio | so both drives are hosed? | 03:15 |

| rodney77 | i also can't suspend it just wakes right back up | 03:32 |

| somsip | niop: anyway, moot point. Do you just want Python-PIL? If so, what is wrong with using the package? | 04:03 |
| niop | somsip: what's wrong with.... info python-pil output? in regard to earlier msg | 04:04 |
| somsip | niop: no, if you want python-pil why can't you just 'sudo apt-get install python-pil'? | 04:04 |
| niop | u mean it's pre installed? | 04:04 |
| niop | ic | 04:04 |
| niop | trying it now | 04:04 |
| niop | installed ok | 04:05 |
| somsip | niop: so does that solve your problem? | 04:06 |
| niop | what about the other things.. if you might know of something with that.. as in.. simple command.. apt-get install pixman.. producing "E: Unable to locate package pixman".. because that happens on a number of packages. | 04:07 |
| niop | that relates to precise you were saying | 04:07 |
| niop | say freetype | 04:07 |
| somsip | niop: you can only install packages that are available. Pixman is not available. You can use '!find {name}' in here to try to locate packages | 04:07 |
| somsip | !find freetype | niop | 04:07 |
| ubottu | niop: Found: libfreetype6, libfreetype6-dev, freetype2-demos, libfont-freetype-perl, libisfreetype-java | 04:07 |
| rodney77 | ok beldar, reisio, I was able to shut down correctly using a live disk I found. it was 12.04 32 bit, though, and I have 14.04 64 bit installed | 04:07 |
| niop | ic | 04:07 |
| niop | that's great. | 04:08 |
| somsip | niop: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 04:08 |
| rodney77 | I should mention that when I had an older os on there i could shut down | 04:08 |
| niop | probably as much as i can get in this dept. anything else might relatee to dokku, which builds node. seems to not find .h files. freetype.h for example. | 04:08 |
| somsip | niop: node as in node.js? Maybe best (though not officially good advice) to use the PPA as it is very up to date | 04:09 |
| niop | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 04:09 |
| niop | Description:Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS | 04:09 |
| niop | Release:14.04 | 04:09 |
| niop | Codename:trusty | 04:09 |
| somsip | niop: so !info and !find will work fine as the previous examples | 04:10 |
| niop | yeah.. js.. not sure what ppa is.. but can check it out. | 04:10 |
| niop | info and find to check what packages are installed/available, if typed name isn't found. thanks. | 04:10 |
| somsip | niop: this one, but PPAs are not supported in here, so if you come back asking for support if it goes wrong, forget it. You need to contact the package maintainer. Saying that, I find this PPA to be stable http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/chris_lea_nodejs | 04:10 |
| niop | fair enough.. enough issues without having to worry about custom ppas no doubt. | 04:11 |
| somsip | niop: so...anything else? | 04:11 |
| niop | will have a look, thanks. | 04:12 |
| somsip | niop: np | 04:12 |
| niop | that's all.. for a while, hopefully. you've been a great help. | 04:12 |
| somsip | niop: you're welcome | 04:12 |
| bong1 | so do we now have a clickey like program on linux? https://www.grc.com/freeware/clickey.htm | 04:14 |
| geekmasterflash | bong1: That sounds like possibly the worst idea I have ever heard. | 04:14 |
| Beldar | rodney77, If it were me since I'm set up for fresh installs always, I would just do a fresh install. However that is just me, I never do distro upgrades. | 04:15 |
| neldogz | Switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu 14.04 and it's working well for me.. Just one question I was hoping someone could clarify, is there a go to tool to search and clean malware or viruses affecting a GNU\Linux machine? How would one know if your system has caught something nasty? | 04:15 |
| rodney77 | Beldar, this is a fresh install | 04:15 |
| somsip | !av | neldogz | 04:15 |
| ubottu | neldogz: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 04:15 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: There is clamav, which I think works well. | 04:15 |
| bong1 | geekmasterflash: why? | 04:15 |
| rodney77 | i mean, it's fresh as of a few weeks ago. I installed from disk but I can't find that disk right now | 04:16 |
| Beldar | rodney77, Was it this way before a update, were you able to check? | 04:16 |
| geekmasterflash | bong1: Because your computer will turn into a miserable cacaphony of noise? | 04:16 |
| somsip | !info bleachbit | neldogz (as a CCleaner-like) | 04:16 |
| ubottu | neldogz (as a CCleaner-like): bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1 (trusty), package size 244 kB, installed size 1904 kB | 04:16 |
| rodney77 | beldar, I can't say for sure, but I could have sworn it shut down fine when I first installed it | 04:16 |
| Beldar | rodney77, In other words was it ever correct? | 04:16 |
| rodney77 | yes, I believe it was. | 04:16 |
| rodney77 | You know, I installed openvpn | 04:16 |
| neldogz | geekmasterflash, what about rootkits and all that should I be worried? | 04:16 |
| rodney77 | do you think that would have done it? That seemed to put new users in my logon screen and everything | 04:17 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: Highly unlikely. 99% of all viruses target windows systems. | 04:17 |
| neldogz | somsip, i am familiar with bleachbit, its a great program | 04:17 |
| bong1 | geekmasterflash: i would want that | 04:17 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: There are some that I have seen that attack unix system, but those tend to focus on webservers | 04:17 |
| somsip | neldogz: so those are your two likely packages - Bleachbit and ClamAV (if you really need an anti-virus) | 04:18 |
| neldogz | somsip, i read that clamav will only clean windows viruses.. is this true that it wont detect ones targeting GNU\Linux? | 04:18 |
| Beldar | rodney77, Hard to say really. If it was working and now not it is rather unusual but we do not know how you have modified the install. Or if it is a hardware issue or software. | 04:19 |
| somsip | neldogz: there aren't really (m)any viruses targetting linux, which is why it refers to W32 viruses | 04:19 |
| neldogz | clamav it is | 04:20 |
| neldogz | thank you guys that clarifies things | 04:20 |
| somsip | neldogz: np. Though I don't claim to be an expert on these things, so do a bit or reading around it in case you find out something more helpful | 04:20 |
| ttal | is it recommended to use lvm these days? | 04:22 |
| neldogz | somsip, i am always cautious of the software I install. I guess I am just worried about stuff from web browsing.. coming from Windows it was very easy to get infected with some type of malware variant by just googling around | 04:22 |
| neldogz | Ubuntu has been solid for me and is consistent.. works the same every day which I love.. | 04:23 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: It's very, very unlikely you'd get a virus that way on Linux | 04:23 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: That said, that is only because of what is called security through obscurity | 04:23 |
| neldogz | geekmasterflash, thank you | 04:23 |
| somsip | neldogz: fair observation. I've been on Ubuntu for a few years with no protection other than careful browsing habits, and have had no problems. My wife uses W32 and I regular find infections on there | 04:24 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: Linux is not used by enough people to warrant such attacks | 04:24 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: As linux becomes more popular for personal computing, that will likely be very different. | 04:24 |
| neldogz | that makes sense | 04:24 |
| bong1 | if there was just a switch where we could turn on and off clicking keyboard type of sounds in linux, i would be one happy camper. | 04:24 |
| Jeffrey_f | geekmasterflash: you don't get virii in Linux like you can in windows. You would need to go through extraordinary lengths to get a virus. You would need to get and run it.......Usually, by default, most downloads are not executable (I said usually) by default. But getting software from an untrusted (not part of the Ubuntu repositories or a relatively trustworthy vendor like skype, et al would get you infected. If you do manage to | 04:25 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: I am never going to tell anyone they can NOT get a virus. | 04:25 |
| ColdFyre | is it possible to automatically authenticate against an openldap server and then a windows AD server only if the openldap server goes down? | 04:26 |
| somsip | bong1: unsupported - https://github.com/aitjcize/Qwertickle | 04:26 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: Linux is well adapted against the methods of many, if not most vectors of attack | 04:26 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: But that is only true today, for now. | 04:26 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: Unforseen things happen all the time. | 04:26 |
| Jeffrey_f | geekmasterflash: I didn't say you can't, just that you would need to go through steps to get infected. Unlike windows where you just need to visit a website | 04:26 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: And that might be Linux too, one day. | 04:27 |
| geekmasterflash | Jeffrey_f: When it comes to security, a bit of paranoia is healthy. | 04:27 |
| neldogz | I once read something along the lines of; you are at risk unless you can trust every software package on your computer.. GNU\Linux gives us that ability to trust everything by using the official repos | 04:29 |
| neldogz | It's such a powerful concept | 04:29 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: Indeed it is. However, even that can be a blind spot. | 04:30 |
| neldogz | With Windows whenever you want to try something out you head over to a download site and theres a huge risk involved installing from there... all closed source.. | 04:32 |
| Jeffrey_f | geekmasterflash: Agreed on the paranoia and NOTHING is completely fool proof | 04:32 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: Indeed. But sometimes deeply trusted packets can hide vulnerablities: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/hackers-have-a-bad-name-but-one-may-have-saved-the-internet-as-we-know-it/ | 04:32 |
| geekmasterflash | neldogz: There is few other libraries trusted, and more nessicary than BIND. | 04:33 |
| bong1 | somsip: can i ask you if i have questions abt installing qwerticle? i was reading the instructions and find it to be daunting for a beginner. | 04:33 |

| Ben64 | ttal: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, so yes, it installs many things | 04:45 |
| Abhijit | ttal, lots of | 04:45 |
| Beldar | Lisa1, There are smartcheck tools. The install has on in the disks app top right corner dropdown. There are command line ones, not really an area I can really speak with authority in however. | 04:45 |
| geekmasterflash | Ben64: Older info, but makes the point: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-desktop | 04:45 |
| geekmasterflash | Ben64: The packages listed as depends would be downloaded as a matter of course should you use apt-get | 04:46 |
| ttal | Ben64: so apart from a gui if installed from ubuntu desktop, it will install a word processor and other things? | 04:46 |

| fishcooker | not yet geekmasterflash sudo apt-get install xorg --no-install-recommend? | 04:54 |
| geekmasterflash | fishcooker: I am not an expert, but I do know that the x11vnc package only works if you have the X system installed. | 04:54 |
| geekmasterflash | fishcooker: "x11vnc does not create an extra display (or X desktop) for remote control. Instead, it uses the existing X11 display shown on the monitor of a Unix-like computer in real time, unlike other Linux alternatives such as TightVNC Server. " | 04:55 |
| fishcooker | ok your suggest is my command geekmasterflash LoL | 04:55 |
| ttal | Ben64: Abhijit: So if I just wanted a minimal install with gui but not all the bundled apps I would just install unity, or xfce etc? | 04:56 |
| Abhijit | ttal, which is your current os and what do you want? | 04:57 |
| fishcooker | If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login | 04:57 |
| fishcooker | program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need | 04:57 |

| fishcooker | Some examples for various display managers | 04:57 |

| geekmasterflash | daskdt: I don't know anything about Doom warrior, bit with a tar first you need to untar it: tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz | 05:06 |
| Abhijit | daskdt, untar it by cd to directory where tar.gz is and then do tar -zxvff gamefile.tar.gz you will find new folder. there will be README and INSTALL files in it. read those two. | 05:06 |

| cfhowlett | pacoS, 1. check google chrome cast support 2. check network connections and other network apps | 05:09 |
| daskdt | cfhowlett: http://pastebin.com/FJr3naBA | 05:09 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: There could be any number of issues that might cause that. Slow connection, poor graphics card/out of date drivers, not enough memory, etc | 05:09 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: We'd need a lot more information. | 05:09 |
| cfhowlett | daskdt, no can see. thank the chinese (firewall). | 05:09 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: First, you are doing things out of order | 05:10 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: You can not make or configure a file before it exist | 05:10 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: You must untar it first. | 05:10 |
| pacoS | geekmasterflash, I have a decent card, lots of ram, sounds is good just does not stream at the same speed is pixelated | 05:11 |

| geekmasterflash | cfhowlett: pacoS: My thought exactly. | 05:11 |
| pacoS | geekmasterflash, is 25 Mbps | 05:13 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: And how fast is it while streaming? | 05:13 |

| geekmasterflash | daskdt: You need to put the command I have given you twice | 05:18 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: only change the name to match the name of your tarball | 05:18 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: If you already have, and those two other files are what came out | 05:20 |

| geekmasterflash | daskdt: I dont know if your system is x86 or 64 | 05:20 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: So you'd need to know | 05:21 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: That upload might be your problem | 05:21 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: When streaming, the upload is more important the the download | 05:21 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: And that upload speed, is fairly bad for streaming audio | 05:21 |
| daskdt | I did | 05:22 |
| geekmasterflash | daskdt: And? I can not see your screen. You need to be more descriptive. | 05:22 |
| pacoS | geekmasterflash, but why on the computer works and on the chrmecast not? | 05:22 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: Because you are not actually uploading anything when looking at it locally | 05:22 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: You are hitting the home address | 05:23 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: Which has however fast your ethernet card can go for up and download speed | 05:23 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: Once you actually stream across the net | 05:23 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: It's effected by the upload speed of your connection | 05:23 |
| geekmasterflash | pacoS: Not your local ethernet port. | 05:23 |

| crazyhorse | also some users need access to some documents, others to other documents | 05:50 |
| crazyhorse | and unlike software where each file is quite small this can be gb's of data (i.e. in our git repos) | 05:50 |

| crazyhorse | we've been using google docs for years | 05:51 |
| dotblank | Why no internet then? | 05:51 |
| crazyhorse | also google docs is a huge security problem in terms of it has no layered security | 05:51 |

| crazyhorse | hmmmm, i'm surprised there is not a git like document management system | 05:55 |
| chriys | I think I'm lost I used this command to install a repo alien -i http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/kaltura-release.noarch.rpm to set up a repo | 05:55 |
| wafflejock | crazyhorse, there's git :P | 05:55 |
| somsip | crazyhorse: git | 05:55 |
| dotblank | and just write all documents in latex | 05:55 |
| crazyhorse | waffljock: yeah i could.. haha i'm scared of training the non-computer people though | 05:55 |
| chriys | but after that if I run apt-get install package-name it says that the package it's already installed | 05:56 |
| crazyhorse | also.. it's not like it will store deltas of odt documents | 05:56 |
| wafflejock | crazyhorse, http://incubator.apache.org/wave/ | 05:56 |
| chriys | but I can't manage to find where the package is installed | 05:56 |
| dotblank | well ODT can be stored as deltas | 05:56 |
| dotblank | if you have uncompressed ODTs | 05:56 |
| somsip | chriys: installing rpms with alien is asking for trouble. Can't you get this package in something that is more ubuntu friendly? | 05:56 |
| dotblank | chriys: What is it you are trying to install? | 05:57 |
| wafflejock | not sure if wave is just online but know it's related to collaborative editing stuff not sure about offline either just popped in my head | 05:57 |
| chriys | somsip: well in the documentation of that package that's the way to do | 05:57 |
| chriys | dotblank: Kaltura | 05:57 |
| crazyhorse | wafflejock: yeah the important thing is that our documents are very heavily formatted.. for example the last one we did was 49k words, 178 pages.. with headers footers, tables of contents, title pages, cover pages etc.. so really libreoffice and micrsoft word, pages (maybe)and in-design are really the only software that has to do this level to do this | 05:58 |
| dotblank | They don't provide a tarball? | 05:58 |
| dotblank | crazyhorse: and latex | 05:58 |
| somsip | chriys: isn't it some web-based media player, or am i looking at a different kaltura? | 05:58 |
| chriys | dotblank: what's a tarball? | 05:59 |
| dotblank | chriys: tar.gz file, usually | 05:59 |
| Sachiru | @crazyhorse: There's an unofficial SVN for Microsoft, called MagnetSVN (http://magnetsvn.com/). | 05:59 |
| chriys | somsip: it's a media server here is their website kaltura.org | 05:59 |
| Jeeves_Moss | I've got steam installed, however when I play Solar2, it keeps crashing. How do I debug? | 05:59 |
| Sachiru | Not sure if that fits your needs though. | 05:59 |
| wafflejock | chriys, usually you get source in a tar (think it's tape archive) file | 05:59 |
| chriys | dotblank: yeah but I got issue with it because I'm running apache 2.4 | 06:00 |
| crazyhorse | Scahiru: wow that looks awesome | 06:00 |
| somsip | chriys: if you want to use alien and rpm you will only get support from Kaltura. Not here. Be warned | 06:00 |
| dotblank | chriys: It also appears they have configs for a debian based instal | 06:02 |
| chriys | ok understand. Do you know how to locate and installed package ? | 06:02 |
| wafflejock | Jeeves_Moss, depends on the app sometimes if you just run in from a terminal you get some output when it crashes | 06:03 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, I've tried. the program claims it needs to be run through steam | 06:03 |
| dotblank | Also the application itself may have crash logs | 06:03 |
| Sachiru | Alternatively you can use TortoiseSVN and this addon (https://code.google.com/p/msofficesvn/) | 06:03 |
| wafflejock | Jeeves_Moss, if you want to get in the nitty gritty http://www.dirac.org/linux/gdb/06-Debugging_A_Running_Process.php | 06:03 |
| Sachiru | Either way it will still cost you since you'd need a SVN server somewhere. | 06:04 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, I'm not THAT into it! I'm a networking guy who's trying to learn programming while maintaining his own dev cluster | 06:04 |
| Sachiru | You can probably spin up the Server using Amazon Web Services. | 06:04 |
| wafflejock | yeah Jeeves_Moss echo dotblank here would look for logs too, search the net see if it says there are logs anywhere | 06:04 |
| wafflejock | Jeeves_Moss, haha yeah was mostly kidding | 06:04 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, ahhhh, well, most days I have my hands full with this nighmare I made. So, for now, I'm trying to relax. but apparently I can't even do that. | 06:05 |
| dotblank | maybe attempt to attach an strace to the process? | 06:05 |
| SecretFire | im trying to do a sudo chown -R command to my external hdd but i keep getting a I/O error can someone help me fix this? | 06:06 |
| wafflejock | Jeeves_Moss, yeah I like solar haven't played it in a while though | 06:06 |
| Sachiru | @SecretFire: Generally speaking, quoting the error message would be very helpful | 06:06 |
| SecretFire | Sachiru : i can pastebin it for you | 06:06 |
| Sachiru | Since I doubt that this channel has psychics who can divine the contents of the error message over the internet. | 06:06 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, I'm currently downloading Left4Dead since I'm outta bear, and watching "All in the Family" | 06:06 |
| Sachiru | Please do. | 06:06 |
| wafflejock | Sachiru, I can do that | 06:06 |
| Xerophyte | Need a Little help please | 06:08 |
| Jeeves_Moss | mmmmm, nothing beats the love of a University campus network for speed | 06:09 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, what did you break? | 06:09 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, I want to expand partition on Gparted, I googled like hell followed everything but still nothing is working :( | 06:10 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, is it a live partition? | 06:11 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, and what is the file format? | 06:12 |
| mahesh_ | Hello | 06:13 |
| SecretFire | Sachiru : its taking a minute when its done ill paste and give u the link | 06:13 |
| Xerophyte | It is Yes.. ext4 I am Using VMware and I needed to extend the disk space. Now I cannot merge the two partitions :( | 06:13 |
| mahesh_ | i want to know bytes of data transfer through rs232 in ubuntu | 06:13 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, lol. so you expanded the disk in VMWare? | 06:14 |
| Jeeves_Moss | is this the root drive or a drive you an unmount? | 06:14 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, Yes It was 30gigs earlier and i wanted a 100 gigs... Its the root drive yes. | 06:15 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, you can't resize a live, mounted disk. you have to boot into a live CD image, and do it that way | 06:15 |
| Sachiru | Uh. | 06:15 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, any solutions.. :/ or you might help me out on Teamviewer if you dont mind please. | 06:16 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, I had the same issue with my web server. | 06:16 |
| Sachiru | Resizing a live, mounted disk will FSCK up the data. | 06:16 |
| chriys | is it a good idea to install deb file on ubuntu | 06:16 |
| chriys | ? | 06:16 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, lol. it's not that hard to do. one sec. I'll see if I can find the "howto" that I used. | 06:16 |
| Jeeves_Moss | I'm in Linux right now, otherwise, I'd just use my remote software | 06:16 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, do you have a live CD downloaded onto the host box? | 06:17 |
| chriys | I should say what are the risks | 06:17 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, I have the ISO | 06:17 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, ok, shut down the running system you want to resize. Then change the CD-ROM properties of that VM to point to the ISO and make sure it's "connected at boot" | 06:18 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, then you'll have a LiveCD running. Once you have that, fire up gparted, and go get a coffee (or beer) | 06:19 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, one Question. Will I lose the Data? | 06:19 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, not that I am aware of. that is if you "grow" the disk. but I'd backup just ot be safe. it's only 30Gb | 06:20 |
| Xerophyte | Jeeves_Moss, Thanks Bro I will Try it :) | 06:22 |
| Sachiru | Good morning, that's a nice tnetennba. | 06:22 |
| wafflejock | chriys, deb is the regular package type for ubuntu, ubuntu is based on debian, that said a debian package you manually install might have dependencies you have to manually resolve | 06:23 |
| Jeeves_Moss | Xerophyte, np. just make sure you select the ISO as the image VMWare (host) will present to the guest, and make sure that damned check box is checked!!! I've pulled my hair out over that a few times | 06:23 |
| wafflejock | chriys, apt-get is just a tool to search the repos to find matching debian packages for your system | 06:23 |
| chriys | oh ok now getting a better understanding | 06:24 |
| wafflejock | chriys, yeah rpms are just for red hat linux so not really compatible in terms of the system setup they expect | 06:24 |
| chriys | wafflejock: what about if I convert them using alien? | 06:25 |
| viktor89 | Anybody know where I could look if my /var/log/mail.log is empty? I have postfix daemon and I want to find the sent mails from the past 2 days :/ | 06:25 |
| wafflejock | chriys, it's just simpler if you go with debian packages and ideally from a repo, this way you can get security updates or bug fixes | 06:25 |
| wafflejock | chriys, is you install an rpm it should be a last resort and something you really need | 06:26 |
| wafflejock | if* | 06:26 |
| Jeeves_Moss | chriys, take it from someone who thought it was fun to compile from source. one major update and your server of cards WILL fail | 06:26 |
| SirLagz | chriys: what are you trying to install ? | 06:26 |
| chriys | Kaltura-Server | 06:26 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, depends on how postfix is configured but you look around in /var/spool/mail ? | 06:26 |
| SirLagz | chriys: never even heard of that lol. I'll go back into my hole now. | 06:27 |
| chriys | the tar version of it gave troubles because I have apache 2.4 | 06:27 |
| viktor89 | wafflejock, I'll take a look there. I haven't looked much around, since I feel kinda clueless about where to start | 06:27 |
| === justinS is now known as jhsimpson | ||
| chriys | wafflejock: lol I really need it and it's last resort. I have been trying for almost 3 days now to have it up and running if it doesn't I gonna try to go back with tar version and try to fix bugs | 06:28 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, is postfix working already? | 06:29 |
| wafflejock | chriys, yeah that's really probably your best bet | 06:30 |
| wafflejock | looks like they only have rpms so far | 06:30 |
| viktor89 | hmmm, it's running, but I think something isn't really working. It sends mail with the php mail() functions from my webserver fine, but the sendmail from cmd just hangs | 06:30 |
| wafflejock | that or use CentOS or RedHat | 06:30 |
| chriys | yeah :-( so sad | 06:30 |
| wafflejock | here's a comprehensive guide on postfix configuration includes a testing section viktor89 http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ | 06:31 |
| chriys | If I do so I will go throught all the process of setting up apache mysql php and security (like fail2ban) and iptables :o | 06:31 |
| wafflejock | chriys, not really that hard you can install most of them with one command | 06:32 |
| wafflejock | chriys, just save your conf files | 06:32 |
| chriys | i see | 06:32 |
| wafflejock | chriys, I would definitely try building from source for a bit | 06:32 |
| chriys | let me try and see | 06:33 |
| viktor89 | I don't care too much about getting postfix working. It's more that I might have some valuable emails in a log somewhere, that I'd like to find :/ | 06:33 |
| Jeeves_Moss | stupid steam client. work out the major bugs before they release the bloody software | 06:34 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, well that write up has everything I know about postfix in it, but it depends on the config where the e-mails would be stored | 06:34 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, the log will just show login attempts or whatever but not the message body really, that would just be in the /var/spool/mail/virtual (or somewhere around there) or in a database | 06:34 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, but depends on the config of postfix | 06:35 |
| viktor89 | yeah, I'll find the config | 06:35 |
| chriys | wafflejock: you know what enought suffering I'm migrating to Centos | 06:35 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, it's in /etc/postfix/ something here main.cf and master.cf | 06:35 |
| wafflejock | chriys, yeah it's on AWS right? | 06:35 |
| chriys | what's AWS ? | 06:36 |
| wafflejock | chriys, oh thought you were using Amazon web services | 06:36 |
| wafflejock | must have been someone else | 06:36 |
| chriys | lol DigitalOcean | 06:36 |
| wafflejock | ah k same diff | 06:36 |
| wafflejock | take a snapshot/backup, download any files you had to change (conf files, or files in dot folders in your home directory) then spin up a new instance | 06:37 |
| viktor89 | found it :) | 06:41 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, I wonder how well counter strike source will run on Linux | 06:42 |
| Jeeves_Moss | under windows 8.1 it's a pig | 06:42 |
| viktor89 | play Global Offensive ! :) | 06:43 |
| wafflejock | probably 1.5 pigs heh not sure.... actually trying to decide if I should mount an external to install Civ 5 right nwo | 06:43 |
| wafflejock | now* | 06:43 |
| wafflejock | so glad we can play games on linux thank you Steam | 06:43 |

| wafflejock | viktor89, yeah it's great | 06:44 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, only got Intel HD 4000 chipset in my laptop though, better on the desktop for that | 06:45 |
| viktor89 | yea, indeed. I run it on a GTX670 | 06:45 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, same in my desktop | 06:45 |
| wafflejock | great card | 06:45 |
| viktor89 | Best game I've ever played, really :) | 06:45 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, it's sad that my netbook is a quadcore with nVidia graphics that kick my laptop! | 06:46 |
| viktor89 | love the shadowplay feature they made from nvidia | 06:46 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, what's the deal with that? | 06:46 |
| Jeeves_Moss | and once you get into the networking world, you don't have time to play anymore. :-( | 06:46 |
| viktor89 | it keeps a cache of gameplay video (selectable up to 10 min) which you can quicksave to a file instantly | 06:46 |
| wafflejock | Jeeves_Moss, need some way to make $ to get games :P | 06:46 |
| wafflejock | viktor89, ah nice | 06:46 |
| viktor89 | unlike other recording tools, it doesn't lag the game because it uses a dedicated chip on the card :) | 06:47 |
| Kid-7 | Hello I Need a help. | 06:47 |
| wafflejock | Kid-7, what's up | 06:47 |
| Beldar | Kid-7, TRy setting the swapiness to 10 | 06:47 |
| Jeeves_Moss | wafflejock, lol. I had a nice setup once. and I will again once I move. I don't have the space for it now. 3 x 32" LCDs | 06:47 |
| viktor89 | so when something awesome happens in CS (like a flashbang kill) I can quickly save a video of it :) | 06:47 |
| Beldar | !swap | Kid-7 | 06:47 |
| ubottu | Kid-7: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 06:47 |
| Kid-7 | wafflejock, Nothing special | 06:47 |

| Beldar | Kid-7, Gotta try to find out, swapping will make it seem like it is freezing. Setup a conky that shows swapping to watch it. | 06:50 |
| Kid-7 | ok. | 06:50 |
| Kid-7 | which conky? | 06:50 |
| wafflejock | yeah looks like it's tearing through your swap space | 06:51 |
| Beldar | Kid-7, The main install then any custom one used there are thousands, the ubuntu forum has a thread full of them. | 06:51 |
| viktor89 | the maillog i have found doesn't seem to hold any content of sent emails :/ just a whole lot of lines with things like Aug 9 13:07:46 plesk courier-pop3d: authentication error: Input/output error | 06:53 |
| viktor89 | I can find the message ID's that I want | 06:54 |
| Beldar | Kid-7, Watching if swapping is just a confirmation, I would do the swappiness first. On a stock install you will start swapping at more or less 60% use of the memory. | 06:54 |

| frsfett4 | Hello | 07:08 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I successfully installed Libre Office 4.3 using the terminal and the Ubuntu Software Centre recognized it as installed. | 07:09 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Unfortunately, there's a bunch of optional add ons listed for Libre Office 4.3, the same ones checked off that I saw before I installed anything, some of which I need. | 07:09 |
| SamwiseGamgee | And my problem is that I have no way of knowing whether those checkmarked optional add ons are now installed or if they were never installed. | 07:09 |
| ikonia | look in the package manager for the packages | 07:10 |
| ikonia | they will show up as installed/not installed depending on if they are | 07:10 |
| SamwiseGamgee | good idea | 07:10 |
| SamwiseGamgee | thanks ikonia | 07:10 |
| Sachiru | Query: Anyone recommend something similar to, but better than, McAffee SiteAdvisor or Bitdefender TrafficLight? | 07:11 |
| frsfett4 | I got no ui before login window, what is wrong? | 07:11 |
| ikonia | Sachiru: what is their functionality ? | 07:11 |
| ikonia | frsfett4: do you get a command prompt login or just a black screen | 07:11 |
| Sachiru | Basically scans URLs against a blacklist and tells you if the site contains malware/spyware/badware | 07:12 |
| Sachiru | To prevent people from clicking "Get free Antivirus Pro 2014 With Flash Player" | 07:12 |
| ikonia | Sachiru: squid can be very effective like that | 07:12 |
| henkpoley | Anybody knows an ubuntu package that installs a DOS bootimage in grub? (for flashing hardware) | 07:12 |
| Sachiru | And infecting their PC with so much crapware that I have to nuke and pave. | 07:12 |
| ikonia | Sachiru: you use it as a proxy and download known bad lists / point it at online bad lists and it protects | 07:12 |
| ikonia | henkpoley: dosbox ? | 07:12 |
| ikonia | henkpoley: freedos ? | 07:13 |
| frsfett4 | ikonia: I get a ui at login, but before this is command. | 07:13 |
| henkpoley | DOSbox does not have direct access to the harware | 07:13 |
| ikonia | frsfett4: sorry don't understand what you just said | 07:13 |
| frsfett4 | I got updated my alsa. | 07:13 |
| Sachiru | The thing is it's supposed to be installed on laptops to be used by out-of-office guys | 07:13 |
| Sachiru | So ideally it should be a browser extension/addon thing | 07:13 |
| ikonia | Sachiru: on what OS ? | 07:13 |
| frsfett4 | I mean before boot at login window the UI is gone. | 07:13 |
| henkpoley | ikonia: FreeDOS, you’d still need to figure out how to hook it up into grub. Ought be something that just drops disk image on your system (so you can mount it) and puts it in grub. | 07:14 |
| frsfett4 | I used a NVIDIA legacy driver update, is this the cause? | 07:14 |
| ikonia | frsfett4: apologies, I don't understand | 07:14 |
| ikonia | henkpoley: there is no "package" that installs a dos image to grub | 07:14 |
| henkpoley | ikonia: actually I know it existed a few years back, can’t find it though | 07:14 |
| frsfett4 | I am using Xbuntu. | 07:14 |
| ikonia | henkpoley: but a small freedos partition/filesystem and an update to grub would work just fine | 07:15 |
| frsfett4 | Before booting into ubuntu, I got no graphics. | 07:15 |
| henkpoley | ikonia: I know, just not that happy to muck up my grub. | 07:15 |
| frsfett4 | Only word. | 07:15 |
| ikonia | henkpoley: shouldn't break it | 07:15 |
| henkpoley | ikonia: maybe I meant BiosDisk | 07:16 |
| ikonia | don't know that software at all | 07:16 |
| henkpoley | ikonia: ah las.. http://linux.dell.com/biosdisk/ (404) | 07:17 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Does Ubuntu Software Center and Synaptic Package Manager use the same names to identify an installed package? | 07:18 |

| ikonia | it's the same packages | 07:18 |
| frsfett4 | no GUI before boot, any fix? | 07:19 |
| SamwiseGamgee | in Ubuntu Software Centre, Do the checkmarks mean I should still install them, or do they mean that they were marked for installation already and already successfully installed? | 07:19 |

| SamwiseGamgee | But I can't find any of the chckmarked packages in Ubuntu Software Center also in the package manager | 07:20 |
| frsfett4 | Beldar: what do you mean? | 07:20 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, In ubuntu in the terminal run sudo update-grub and see if XP shows. | 07:21 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: what do you mean "you can't find them" if you are looking at them - they are there | 07:21 |
| frsfett4 | Is dual boot affecting this? | 07:21 |
| SamwiseGamgee | No, I carefully examined all the packages listed as installed in the Package Manager, and they are all missing | 07:21 |

| david_____ | hi all, please help me. I have a new assus laptop. I instaleed ubuntu but something with the graphics card was not ok. So i try to install a different version. Now i cannot boot from the usb stick anymore. I can read the usb stick in the computer. what can i do now? | 07:22 |
| david_____ | i am stuck | 07:22 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, I didn't say post it. always use a pastebin, now reboot and see if the grub menu comes up. | 07:22 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I cross referenced the names from screen captureing the entire list then cross referenced them with the synaptic package manger and they are all missing | 07:23 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ikonia | 07:23 |
| frsfett4 | you misunderstood me | 07:23 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: define "missing" | 07:23 |
| SamwiseGamgee | they are not listed, ikonia | 07:23 |
| SamwiseGamgee | in the package manager | 07:23 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: I'm pretty sure they are | 07:24 |
| SamwiseGamgee | even the packages that were not installed, they are not in that list either | 07:24 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, YOu were not even close to clear I tried to interpret you. | 07:24 |
| SamwiseGamgee | may be they were never installed becdause I had insalled themm using the terminal and not the ubuntu software cebntre | 07:24 |
| SamwiseGamgee | is that why they are missing from the synaptic package manager list? | 07:25 |
| ikonia | they are installed | 07:25 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I wish I knew what the checkmarks mean, there is no mention of the chackmarks in the manual | 07:26 |
| frsfett4 | I mean the gui is gone at the process of booting, until the login window shows up. | 07:26 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: what are you talking about ??? | 07:26 |
| SamwiseGamgee | checkmarks | 07:26 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: did you install packages yes/no | 07:26 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I don't know what the purpose of the checkmarks is, that is the problem | 07:26 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: did you install packages yes/no | 07:26 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I installed Libre Office | 07:26 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, What gui? | 07:26 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: right - did it error when installing saying "can't install" ? | 07:27 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I assumed there were packages installed with Libre office when I was watching the terminal do its job during installation | 07:27 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: then it's installed | 07:27 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: why are you trying to find a resaon to show it's not installed | 07:27 |
| ikonia | it's installed | 07:27 |
| SamwiseGamgee | No, the installation was entirely successful and Libre Office works | 07:27 |
| ikonia | great ? | 07:27 |
| ikonia | so what's the problem | 07:27 |
| frsfett4 | the gui of a mouse running, I am using XFCE | 07:28 |
| SamwiseGamgee | My problem is not the Libre office package, it works fine, my problem is the add ons that are checkmarked | 07:28 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I have no way of knowing if the checkmarks mean they were installed or not | 07:28 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: take a screen shot of what you are talking about | 07:28 |
| SamwiseGamgee | and the synaptic package manager has not been helpful to determine that | 07:28 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: synaptic is %100 perfect for that | 07:29 |
| SamwiseGamgee | the screen shots doen't work for posting any more, I tried several times unsuccessfully | 07:29 |
| CodeGosu | if i have 12gb ram with only 7gb used, and 8gb swap can i safly run hibernation | 07:29 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: find a screen shot site and post a screenshot | 07:29 |
| SamwiseGamgee | they changed the website for screen shots and the new one does not work | 07:29 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: there are pleanty that work | 07:29 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, That is called the splash. | 07:29 |
| frsfett4 | Yes | 07:30 |
| frsfett4 | Splash is gone | 07:30 |
| frsfett4 | Any fix? | 07:30 |
| SamwiseGamgee | also, screen shots are very challenging onthis monitor and without Photoshop | 07:30 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, Any changes leading to this? | 07:30 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Gimp does not work either | 07:30 |
| ikonia | no they are not | 07:30 |
| ikonia | there is no need for photoship | 07:30 |
| ikonia | gimp works fine | 07:30 |
| frsfett4 | I updated NVIDIA legacy driver | 07:30 |
| ikonia | you do not need to edit images | 07:30 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I tried several times to edit pic files with Gimp and failed every time | 07:30 |
| ikonia | just take a screen shot - don't edit it, and post it to the image site | 07:30 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: sorry, this just sounds like massive user error | 07:31 |
| frsfett4 | I updated NVIDIA legacy driver instead of Xorg | 07:31 |
| frsfett4 | updated Alsa | 07:31 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I tried that several times, and after spending an hour trying to resgister on the new posting pic site, failed | 07:31 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: again this sounds like user error | 07:31 |
| frsfett4 | Delete some foreign language font | 07:31 |
| ObrienDave | pebcak | 07:31 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, Have you noticed I preface to you with your nick? | 07:31 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I could not even register an account with that website | 07:32 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: everyone else seems able to use gimp, seems able to use the package manager, seems able to post screen shots, | 07:32 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: does it not seem more likley that it's you being the problem ? | 07:32 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Yeah, I don't like xubuntu. I am used to doing things fast and easy on Windows | 07:32 |
| === MohammadAG_ is now known as MohammadAG | ||
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: http://postimage.org/ | 07:32 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: no need to register | 07:32 |
| frsfett4 | Beldar: yes, I updated NVIDIA legacy driver instead of Xorg driver | 07:32 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: use windows then if windows works best for you | 07:32 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: no point using an OS you don't actually like | 07:33 |
| SamwiseGamgee | that's very true | 07:33 |
| frsfett4 | Beldar: I updated Alsa driver too, also edited /etc/fstab | 07:33 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ok, thanks for trying to help, ikonia, as usual, I failed again trying to do s simple task with xubuntu | 07:33 |
| Artemis3 | SamwiseGamgee, print screen, save and upload to imgur is exactly hard so? | 07:33 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, Is the legacy driver straight from nvidia? | 07:33 |
| SamwiseGamgee | it used to be easy | 07:34 |
| ObrienDave | SamwiseGamgee, because you don't grasp the simplicity of Ubuntu | 07:34 |
| ikonia | ObrienDave: it's really not that | 07:34 |
| SamwiseGamgee | haha, I wish things were simple and easy, that's why I miss Windows XP | 07:34 |
| Kira9204 | gimp is powerful, but it is ablut as unfriendly as possible | 07:34 |
| Kira9204 | the ui is a mess | 07:34 |
| SamwiseGamgee | You don't need to be a programmer to use Windows, just an idiot with money | 07:34 |
| ikonia | there is nothing wrong with using windows | 07:35 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: if you're more comfortable with windows - use windows | 07:35 |
| Artemis3 | SamwiseGamgee, there is no need to rant anymore, go there and goodbye | 07:35 |
| frsfett4 | Beldar: I updated from ubunru hardware update. | 07:35 |
| SamwiseGamgee | oh yeah, the picture has my full name on it | 07:36 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, I'm not really a nvidia user others may be better on diagnosing why no splash if associated. | 07:36 |
| SamwiseGamgee | all the screen shots have my full name on them | 07:36 |
| SamwiseGamgee | thtat's why I wanted to use Gimp to edit them | 07:36 |
| SamwiseGamgee | but Gimp sucks | 07:36 |
| === notzopsi is now known as zopsi | ||
| SamwiseGamgee | it's hard to use | 07:36 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: gnome-screenshot -w | 07:36 |
| trijntje | it takes a screenshot of only the relevant window, that shouldn't have your name on it | 07:37 |
| frsfett4 | Beldar: I don`t think update driver cause this. Cause the original driver kinda slow. | 07:37 |
| SamwiseGamgee | that's another problem, when I tried to change my full name to my first name, xubuntu got p;issed off and told me I can't alter my user name | 07:37 |
| SamwiseGamgee | so I have to keep using my full name as my user name | 07:38 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: that is another problem, one problem at a time please | 07:38 |
| Beldar | frsfett4, Not really an issue I can address with confidence. | 07:38 |
| ObrienDave | SamwiseGamgee, and windows wont change the account name either, only the one you see on the screen | 07:38 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I even tried creating a new user acount but it didn't work | 07:38 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: "nothing" works for you | 07:38 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: I suggest using the OS you're more comfortable with | 07:38 |
| ObrienDave | ikonia, exactly my point | 07:38 |
| ObrienDave | pebcak | 07:39 |
| SamwiseGamgee | yeah, this is why I am developing an antipathy towards xubuntu | 07:39 |
| Artemis3 | smells troll | 07:39 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: ok, so I think we're done now | 07:39 |
| SamwiseGamgee | yeah, I have to use Windows XP because I can't afford to buy Windows 7 | 07:39 |
| frsfett4 | any idea how to make epson printers working? | 07:39 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: best of luck | 07:39 |
| ObrienDave | Artemis3, been like that for 3 weeks, ya think? | 07:39 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: did you see my post about how to take a screenshot of only the active window? | 07:40 |
| frsfett4 | I found no epson driver for ubuntu. | 07:40 |
| SamwiseGamgee | no, trijntje | 07:40 |
| somsip | ObrienDave: regularly for about a month now. He was in my ignore list but thought I'd see what he was up to nowadays. Same as before... | 07:40 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: gnome-screenshot -w -d 5 | 07:40 |
| ObrienDave | somsip, yup, ssdd | 07:40 |
| frsfett4 | I have a epson stylus photo 1200 and 1290 not working on ubuntu. | 07:40 |
| SamwiseGamgee | there is a program that runs Epson printers for all operating systems | 07:40 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: that commands waits 5 seconds, and then makes a screenshot of the active window | 07:40 |
| frsfett4 | <SamwiseGamgee>: what app? | 07:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys i just upgraded to 14.04, and i am having a bunch of problems | 07:41 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I have the name written down in my journal somwhere because I have a raelly good Epson printer | 07:41 |
| ObrienDave | like??? | 07:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | i cannot get a browser to open but i can for some reason get xchat to open | 07:41 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Epson Photo 890 | 07:41 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Epson Stylus Photo 890 | 07:41 |
| frsfett4 | Any driver for epson stylus photo 1200 on ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: I suggest dealing with your own issues before trying to help others | 07:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | i jjust upgraded to 14.04 and im having plenty of issues what i do to try debug them | 07:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | it keeps crashing every application every few seconds | 07:42 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I just spent two days refilling the cartridges of all my printers with new ink | 07:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | i came from 12.04.4 lts | 07:43 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: I suggest dealing with your own issues before trying to help others | 07:43 |
| ObrienDave | Psil0Cybin, did you reboot after the upgrade? | 07:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | what can i do to try to debug this stuff | 07:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | yes i did obviously :( | 07:43 |
| SamwiseGamgee | that's whehn I came across that really cool program | 07:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | this all started after the restart | 07:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | i was expecting small problems but not big ones | 07:43 |
| ObrienDave | Psil0Cybin, NOTHING is obvious | 07:43 |
| ObrienDave | ask SamwiseGamgee | 07:43 |
| Beldar | lol | 07:44 |
| SamwiseGamgee | actualy i was going to ask you buys about that program, bec my pienters don't work with ubuntu | 07:44 |
| SamwiseGamgee | th3ey only work with Windows | 07:44 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: again - it sounds like you need to move back to windows | 07:44 |
| ObrienDave | SamwiseGamgee, i suggest you give up any plans of ever using Ubuntu and stick to windows. | 07:45 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I wrotne a full report of all my printer software and ink solutions after I successfully refilled all the ink cartridges and got them printing really clean type | 07:45 |
| SamwiseGamgee | they ware working really well now | 07:45 |
| ObrienDave | that's nice | 07:45 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I also have a Canon printer | 07:45 |
| trijntje | SamwiseGamgee: just think about it, would so many people use ubuntu if everything you describe is as difficult as you think it is? | 07:46 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Canon MP 160 | 07:46 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: stop | 07:46 |
| trijntje | so maybe you just have to take the time to learn about ubuntu | 07:46 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: we don't need a run down of you filling up ink | 07:46 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: you're either going to have to a.) put in a lot more effort to work with ubuntu b.) move back to windows | 07:46 |
| ObrienDave | *no feeding trolls* | 07:46 |
| SamwiseGamgee | who asked about the Epson? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: I suggest you decide which to do | 07:46 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: please do not try to help others at this time | 07:46 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I am using both ubuntu and windows because I have three PCs | 07:47 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: that doesn't change anything that's been said | 07:47 |
| kiwi9 | exit | 07:47 |
| kiwi9 | oops ... sorry ... cu :) | 07:47 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ok, somone else tell me the name of tat really cool program that you can use for all types of OSs and it works on all Epson printers, not sure about Canon though | 07:48 |
| ikonia | SamwiseGamgee: no | 07:48 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I copied it already, but never installed it because I already have excellent software on Windows for all my printers | 07:49 |

| Psil0Cybin | hey guys in 14.04 the indicator multiload plugin i took from 12.04 | 08:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | keeps crashing | 08:03 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: don't mix things from other versions | 08:04 |
| === Sachiru_ is now known as Sachiru | ||
| Psil0Cybin | i did not know i just upgraded thinking it would be fine | 08:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | would i uninstall the plugin and reinstall it? | 08:04 |
| Ben64 | uninstall is probably a good idea | 08:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i canot use indicator-multiload? | 08:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | i liked it to see the packets going in and out | 08:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | through the graphic bar on top | 08:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | also google chrome does not open anymore? | 08:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | so confused how upgrading did so much damage :9 | 08:05 |
| Luyin | Psil0Cybin: often upgrading isn't as good as reinstalling. | 08:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | alright | 08:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | leason learned | 08:06 |
| tortib | hello | 08:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i gues theres nothing i can do at the moment to fix these bugs? | 08:07 |
| kraiskil | what is wrong with ubuntu.com webpage - doesn't reply and ping gives a 97% packet loss? | 08:07 |
| tortib | I'm trying to hide processes from other users using the hidepid=2 option for /proc | 08:07 |
| tortib | proc is mounted as the following: proc on /proc type proc (rw,hidepid=2) | 08:07 |
| tortib | but it isn't hiding the processes, users are still able to see the procs | 08:07 |
| tortib | what am I doing wrong? | 08:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | Luyin: so if im having plenty of bugs like chrome does not open | 08:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | things keep crashing | 08:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | should i just uninstall and try again? | 08:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | like... | 08:09 |
| Luyin | Psil0Cybin: if you feel like there have a lot of problems emerged which don't seem much connected, it might be worth the try. But I've also heard of people where upgrading didn't cause any problems at all. ymmv | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: the problems usually come in when you introduce outside softwatre | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | software* | 08:10 |
| tortib | Hi, is anyone awake? I'm trying to hide processes from other users using the hidepid=2 option for /proc ; I have mounted proc with the following and it appears to be on but my users still can see all the procs...proc on /proc type proc (rw,hidepid=2) | 08:12 |
| Daniel0 | kraiskil its not working here either | 08:12 |
| lang | any networking people from canonical around? I see heavy packetloss to AS41231 from certain prefixes, other prefixes in the same source AS works fine. | 08:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | hmm | 08:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | noticed once that indicator plugin is gone things got better | 08:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i guess i have to get rid of chrome | 08:16 |

| yskapell | is any way to rollback to 12.04? | 08:19 |
| cfhowlett | yskapell, roll back = reinstall 12.04 | 08:19 |
| eeee_ | yskapell: why do you want to rollback? | 08:19 |
| yskapell | I want to upgrade to 14.04 a production server | 08:20 |
| Beldar | Jimbolino, Seems to be having a problem, this channel is not canonical connected. | 08:20 |

| yskapell | reinstall is NOT an option | 08:20 |
| somsip | yskapell: build a copy, test it, change the DNS (or whatever) | 08:21 |
| cfhowlett | yskapell, if you've imaged your 12.04, you can re-create. If not = nope | 08:21 |
| samuraiRM | help me ktorrrent settings? | 08:21 |
| yskapell | cfhowlett: When you say image you mean dd or any other way? (like clonezilla) | 08:21 |
| cfhowlett | yskapell, clonezilla or similar, yes | 08:22 |
| yskapell | hmmm | 08:22 |
| somsip | yskapell: does your host offer a tool for imaging? Is it a cloud host, for example? | 08:22 |
| yskapell | not I do not think that is a cloud and I do not think that offer any image tool | 08:23 |
| Gareth2 | Hi all, really sorry to bug, are there any issues with the Ubuntu repo's atm ? | 08:23 |

| Psil0Cybin | how can i fix this | 08:24 |
| eeee_ | Gareth2: somebody else mentioned a problem getting to the repos from netherlands.. other than that dunno | 08:24 |

| Psil0Cybin | and the mouse keeps getting bigger on every url, even tho its set to default as well | 08:29 |

| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, xfce! me too. here's the test: login to guest account. if same behavior it's a system setting. if not, it's your account setting. fix: nuke /home/.config/xfce4 | 08:37 |

| Psil0Cybin | as well | 08:38 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, ALL xfce settings/customizations will go back to defaults. you'll probably need to logout/login | 08:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 08:38 |

| Shadow}} | How can i attempt to use it? | 09:07 |

| Shadow}} | Interesting... So is alot of AI bots... | 09:08 |
| nard | horsebrass, gotcha. Thanks, so that will be the weirdness. | 09:08 |

| k1l_ | anon_coward: just ask if its technical ubuntu support | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | anon_coward, ask your ubuntu quesstions | 09:40 |
| anon_coward | I have automatic updates off but something has updated and I am being told to restart to complete updates | 09:40 |
| anon_coward | I would like to know what it is before I have something applied that I don't want installed | 09:41 |
| k1l_ | anon_coward: some packages like new servers need a restart to update | 09:41 |
| anon_coward | is there any way to see what was dowloaded, I have a transaction number from the log file? | 09:43 |
| Gazmik | thanks for the update reminder kll seems I was finally forced to do so all repos working fine now | 09:43 |
| k1l_ | anon_coward: see the log in /var/log for apt | 09:44 |
| anon_coward | if you mean history.log then I have checked and there is nothing timestamped that matches syslog | 09:46 |
| k1l_ | anon_coward: ? did you not tell you did a update and some package needs a restart now? | 09:47 |
| anon_coward | would something try to update if autoupdates are off? As long as its nothing to worry about then I'll go :) | 09:48 |
| k1l_ | anon_coward: did you run a update or not? | 09:49 |
| anon_coward | no | 09:49 |
| k1l_ | anon_coward: if autoupdates are off there is nothing than you that makes updates | 09:49 |
| horsebrass | d | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | anon_coward security updates should be automagic IMHO | 09:50 |
| anon_coward | there is no chance of someone remotely trying to do so? | 09:50 |
| idimmu | security updates should never be automagic, ever | 09:50 |

| hyde | is there a 32 bit Ubuntu server or minimal ISO available for download? | 11:05 |
| hyde | x86 32 bit | 11:05 |
| k1l_ | hyde: yes. but only use 32bit if your hardware can only manage 32bit. if it can use 64bit use that | 11:06 |
| * Madnesscr3w anyone have a good ubuntu root | 11:06 | |
| ActionParsnip | !mini | 11:06 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:06 |
| eeee_ | Madnesscr3w: ubuntu root? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Madnesscr3w: yes, my ubuntu root is fine. | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | eeee_: '/' is also called the filesystem root ;) | 11:07 |

| winem | hey, just a quick Q. can anyone recommend a good SPSS editor? | 11:07 |
| hyde | k1l_: can I install 32 bit libraries from repos on a 64 bit Ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| k1l_ | hyde: ubuntu is multiarch. it will run 32bit software as fine as 64bit software on a 64bit system | 11:08 |
| hyde | to be precise, I will need to use a 32 bit Qt application, preferably with default Ubuntu Qt libs instead of compiling them myself | 11:08 |
| hyde | hmm... actually, can a 64 bit application use 32 bit libs? I have just one binary 32 bit C library, which I need to link to the application. | 11:10 |
| cslcm | hyde: no | 11:10 |
| hyde | yeah, thought so | 11:10 |
| timkofu | ActionParsnip: im using the example from here http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/cur/9.8/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#id2587883 | 11:10 |

| BlaXpirit | so I just loaded live cd on a computer that was always running on windows | 11:11 |
| pitwalker | How can I install Java to work with Chromium? rpm install as deb with alien failed both browsers, but "java -version" worked; currently I installed java through the webupd8team's PPA | 11:11 |
| BlaXpirit | and internet just works | 11:11 |
| BlaXpirit | what worries me is that the pppoe connection requires login,password | 11:12 |
| BlaXpirit | how can it work??? | 11:12 |
| BlaXpirit|m | using irc on mobile... did I miss anything? | 11:13 |
| jhattara | BlaXpirit|m: nope | 11:14 |
| === netzfisch is now known as netzfisch_ | ||
| geirha | BlaXpirit|m: If I were to guess, I'd say your router is the one loging in | 11:15 |
| Madnesscr3w | Can someone help me with a VPS | 11:15 |
| BlaXpirit|m | there is no routrr | 11:15 |
| BlaXpirit|m | just wire given by provider | 11:15 |
| BlaXpirit|m | and on windows to connect to Internet you need login and password | 11:16 |
| k1l_ | Madnesscr3w: not if you not ask a technical question | 11:16 |
| geirha | so you only have one device connected to the internet via that pppoe connection, with a cable straight to the wall? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BlaXpirit|m: doesnt network manager handle that | 11:16 |
| sandman13 | does Ubuntu includes all the firmwares for external or built-in wifi Adapters? | 11:16 |
| BlaXpirit|m | yes. That's how it was on windows | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | sandman13 | 11:17 |
| ubottu | sandman13: 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 | 11:17 |
| BlaXpirit|m | just wire to computer | 11:17 |
| BlaXpirit|m | and u create mew connection pppoe and stuff | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | sandman13, "all" no. you may need to do a bit of work after install to get wifi. depends on your chipset | 11:17 |
| BlaXpirit|m | then I rebooted to live cd and internet works immediately | 11:17 |
| sandman13 | cfhowlett: what is included and how to check? | 11:17 |
| sandman13 | dpkg -l | grep wifi ? | 11:18 |
| jhattara | BlaXpirit|m: is the username/password combination some default for everyone or individual ? | 11:18 |
| BlaXpirit|m | individual | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | sandman13, easiest: boot a live usb. if it works, you've got it. if it doesn't work, after install, get a hard wire and look for additional drivers | 11:18 |
| k1l_ | BlaXpirit|m: did you setup that connection on that live system before? | 11:18 |
| BlaXpirit|m | no | 11:18 |
| sandman13 | cfhowlett: I am thinking of buying a Adapter. I am sure there are better options than that | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | !hcl | sandman13, ubuntu hardware certification list | 11:19 |

| BlaXpirit|m | it was set up on windows xp. then I reboot into live cd for the first time and internet works immediately, as I said | 11:19 |
| sandman13 | cfhowlett: thanks a lot | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | sandman13, happy2help | 11:20 |
| hyde | hmm | 11:22 |
| hyde | so if free shows > 4 GB of memory on a 32 bit OS, it simply means, PAE is in use? | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | BlaXpirit|m: sounds like the XP install is setting up the modem | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: yes | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: 32bit kernel with PAE can use up to 64Gb RAM, but only 3.2Gb per thread | 11:24 |
| hyde | per thread? or per process? | 11:24 |
| hyde | oh, well, yeah, all address space between threads need not be shared | 11:25 |
| hyde | so a 32 bit process could go over 4 gigs total? | 11:25 |
| hyde | with multiple threads | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: yes but (for example) nonce Firefox hits 3.2Gb it will start using swap | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: even though there is lots of free RAM | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: assuming 32Gb RAM system.... | 11:27 |
| karenflowers | hello im trying the ubuntu cd and i want to try a youtube but there is a missing flash plugin. | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | karenflowers: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | karenflowers, that's right. kind of hard to install program to the cd ... | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | karenflowers: use TAB and ENTER to accept the license (if needed) | 11:28 |
| karenflowers | cfhowlett: but i apt-get irssi | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | karenflowers: then close browser and reopen | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | karenflowers, I could be wrong. go for it. | 11:29 |
| hyde | cfhowlett: a live CD does have a writable file system... any changes will just not get preserved over boots (with live USB they can be) | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cfhowlett: you can install applications to the system as long as you have RAM to hold it (as the apps are installed to RAMdrive). | 11:30 |
| cfhowlett | hyde, ActionParsnip THAT's the ticket! thank you for clarifying! | 11:30 |

| ActionParsnip | xubunto: uninstall old kernels is a great way to claw back space | 11:52 |
| JoeyD104 | thanks dude! I will probably be back with more questions | 11:52 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: it is a relatively new install | 11:52 |
| xubunto | within the past year | 11:53 |
| xubunto | i have an ls -lah on the pastebin | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: you will have installed a few kernels since then. Each kernel uses 120Mb each | 11:53 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: my goal is to allow sys updates. it isnt allowing it right now because the boot is too full | 11:54 |
| absk007 | ActionParsnip, found another nyc one. "lsb_release -a" | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: then you should definately remove old kernels. | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: that will remove files from /boot properly | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | absk007: that too | 11:54 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: what is the command to do this? | 11:55 |
| geirha | xubunto: there's no pastebin | 11:55 |
| xubunto | geirha: this is my pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8026086/ | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: if you run: uname -r you will see the running kernel version | 11:56 |
| === sveinse_ is now known as sveinse | ||
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image you will see the installed kernels. You can remove any installed kernel but not the running kernel and not the metapackage, If you pastebin the output of the commands I can advise (if you'd prefer) | 11:57 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: i am not on my linux computer atm, ill use these commands this afternoon | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: no worries, if I'm not about then others can advise how to remove the surplus kernels :) | 11:58 |
| xubunto | thank you ActionParsnip | 11:58 |
| geirha | well, you have four kernels you can remove at least. That'll give you some space | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: wait, you can run that command now? and you got the output shown in your pastebin? | 11:59 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: what geirha was looking at was a ls -lah output when i ran it against my /boot folder | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: yes but did you run that just now or is that an old pastebin | 12:00 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: ran it today | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: but can you run more commands right now? | 12:01 |
| xubunto | no | 12:01 |
| === Kryptron_ is now known as Kryptron | ||
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: ahh i see, just confused me with the 'later' bit but you had the pastebin from just now.. | 12:06 |
| xubunto | ActionParsnip: i thought it might have been useful to have it on hand | 12:06 |
| xubunto | so i ran that before i left for work | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | xubunto: no worries, just threw me off | 12:07 |
| xubunto | ill likely be back later with some questions about how to properly clear this | 12:07 |

| stetho | Hi. Does anyone know if there's something "special" you need to do with the DHCP option ntp-servers? My company doesn't allow NTP requests in or out and has its own NTP servers. My DHCP server has option ntp-servers pointing to the internal NTP servers but when I install Ubuntu it waits a long time at the "getting the time from an NTP server" message and, according to the logs, fails. After install is completed if I manually set the servers in ntp.conf | 12:12 |
| stetho | everything works fine. So it would seem that the Ubuntu installer is ignoring the option ntp-servers setting or I'm missing another step that I need to take. | 12:12 |

| Sven_vB | procton, well, you could check which DNS servers are being used and compare with which *should* be used | 12:58 |

| procton | Sven_vB: Servr maintenance is not part of my job description, but the development server is maintained by us developers. Writing a log of how it was resolved is a good idea though. | 12:58 |
| procton | Sven_vB: They are correct, but still the server failed to find any host names... It has occured twice in the past 3 months or so. | 12:59 |

| Sven_vB | procton, is the dns failing right now? | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | powwowwow: something like this http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-importexport-gpg-key-pair/ | 13:01 |
| hyde | GothPaw: was this just normal update within 12.04, or where you upgrading to 14.04? (I don't know a solution either way, but it might be relevant for someone else) | 13:01 |
| GothPaw | hyde: can't say for certain as it didn't really specify. | 13:02 |
| procton | Sven_vB: I cannot be certain that is the root cause. It could be a consequence. | 13:02 |
| powwowwow | ActionParsnip, I'm using seahorse | 13:02 |
| hyde | GothPaw: then probably normal update, the dist upgrade should be a separate button and probably ask for extra confirmation | 13:03 |
| procton | Sven_vB: The server cannot find the windows domain controller, thus we cannot log in. We can only login as root locally on the server. We can ping IPs, though, so the networking seems to be working. | 13:03 |
| Sven_vB | procton, i'd say a dev server could use a (fallback) login mechanism that doesn't rely on other services being up | 13:05 |
| Guest17918 | my rDNS is server.mydomain.com, should I create an MX record for it? | 13:06 |

| procton | soee: Noone seems to answer... My guess is "zip -r file.zip directory_to_zip" | 13:15 |

| kamran | hi, my CPU usage is high when idle, and Xorg uses 20% when idle, around 70 50% when moving windows ! when i enable tear free it gets near 100% when moving ! and also my computer starts to lag, while gpu usage remains the same, jumps from 0 to 19% rapidly ! | 13:15 |
| geirha | soee: why use zip at all? | 13:16 |
| vebb | I'm an idiot. OK, that's done. So if I'm connecting to Freenode on SSL, do I need to open the ports via iptables? Seems redundant... | 13:16 |

| vebb | is ping | 13:17 |
| olivier_bK | the name of the package | 13:17 |

| vebb | ping is default. | 13:19 |
| geirha | soee: In that case rsync is good. rsync -a local_dir/ user@host:/place/to/put/it | 13:19 |
| hateball | kamran: Ok. Sadly I know nothing about Ati/AMD, but perhaps someone else does now that those details are here :) | 13:19 |

| hateball | kamran: Sadly this has been my experience as well, which is why I am sticking to nVidia or Intel | 13:23 |
| kamran | hateball: :( i already paid 150$ for it and i can't tell them it lags ! well, atleast i learnt from my mistake !!! before buying someguy told me they're same :) | 13:24 |
| TJ- | kamran: Have you investigated the log-files (in "/var/log/") - in particular, for Xorg, "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" but also the kernel log "/var/log/kern.log". In the user's home directory also "$HOME/.xsession-errors" | 13:24 |

| TJ- | kamran: Start with Xorg.0.log see if there are any warnings "(WW)" or errors "(EE)" | 13:27 |
| kamran | TJ-: they're just imformation, is tehre suppost to be soemthing like an error? | 13:27 |

| |Marco| | folbofasolin: can't login from gui login or console ? | 13:29 |

| kamran | TJ-: my net is unstable, could that be currpted download? | 13:30 |
| |Marco| | folbofasolin: ah, I had that too.. | 13:30 |
| TJ- | kamran: You notice the file that is not opened has a name ending in "_dri" ... that's the kernel Direct Rendering Interface (DRI), *required* for 3D acceleration. So that confirms my suspicion that the system is currently doing software rendering (which is hideously slow) instead of hardware accelerated rendering | 13:31 |

| folbofasolin | I did 3458787345 times |Marco|, I reinstalled compiz, uninstalled nvidia, everthing | 13:31 |
| TJ- | kamran: A corrupted download will rarely install, although it is possible. The package archives have checksums to prevent installing corrupted packages | 13:31 |
| kamran | TJ-: oh, ok than, so, i must see if software render is on, but i dont know how :) | 13:32 |
| |Marco| | folbofasolin: can you check if you are the owner of your /home folder ? | 13:32 |
| TJ- | kamran: That failed file has 'fglrx' in its name which also tells us it is part of the AMD/ATI proprietary driver... so now we ask how you installed that, was it from the Ubuntu partner archives, or directly via a download from the AMD/ATI web-site ? | 13:32 |
| folbofasolin | |Marco|: do you know a command? | 13:33 |
| kamran | TJ-: i went to additional drivers and chosed flrx , something happened to my pc so i restarded and did it again | 13:33 |

| kamran | Akshay: this fixed this for me once, change server to auto detect ! in software center | 14:07 |
| zipc1 | what causes this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8026970/ | 14:07 |
| paloukas | mjayk: it's the strangest thing...6 times now, after rebooting or shutting down I lose all files (including things like software updates...anything and everything!) created after a certain point | 14:08 |
| folbofasolin | ubottu: after upgrade my unity and KDE won't run after clicking "login" button | 14:08 |
| ubottu | folbofasolin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:08 |
| folbofasolin | xD | 14:08 |
| folbofasolin | cfhowlett_: how you darexD | 14:08 |
| paloukas | mjayk: even my windows vms are fudged up | 14:08 |
| mjayk | paloukas: that does sould weird i would point towards a strange journeling problem / failing hdd but thats beyond me sorry | 14:08 |
| Akshay | @kamran, it's been already set to Auto detect | 14:09 |
| TJ- | kamran: I shall... OK, tested it here so here goes. Run this, and pastebin the results for me: " awk '/Package: fglrx/{P=$2} /^MD5sum/ && P {print P,$2; P=""} ' /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages | while read package sum; do PKG="/var/cache/apt/archives/${package}_*.deb"; if [ -f $PKG ]; then echo "$sum is the MD5 sum for: $package"; md5sum $PKG; fi; done " | 14:10 |
| paloukas | mjayk: thanks! the hardware is pretty new... | 14:10 |
| kamran | TJ-: ok | 14:10 |
| Akshay | kamran: it's been already set to Auto detect | 14:10 |
| kamran | TJ-: it gives me an empty ">" that i can type there | 14:11 |
| TJ- | kamran: You must have included an extra quote mark (did you include the double-quotes I surround the command with) ? | 14:11 |
| tuono279 | ciao | 14:12 |
| kamran | TJ-: let me check | 14:12 |
| TJ- | kamran: try typing another " and pressing Enter | 14:12 |
| tuono279 | list | 14:12 |
| ssarah | hei guys | 14:12 |
| kamran | TJ-: thats what i typed : awk '/Package: fglrx/{P=$2} /^MD5sum/ && P {print P,$2; P=""} ' /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages | while read package sum; do PKG="/var/cache/apt/archives/${package}_*.deb"; if [ -f $PKG ]; then echo "$sum is the MD5 sum for: $package | 14:12 |
| kamran | i treid still it gets me tehre | 14:12 |
| ssarah | what does "$sudo passwd" do? | 14:12 |
| TJ- | kamran: Some of the command is missing ... it ends with "done" | 14:13 |
| geirha | PKG="/var/cache/apt/archives/${package}_*.deb"; if [ -f $PKG ]; ... <- that is broken | 14:13 |
| TJ- | kamran: let me pastebin it so it is easier to copy and paste | 14:13 |
| kamran | TJ-: thanks, sorry :( | 14:13 |
| paloukas | hello all! does anybody else have problems with losing all files created after a certain point in time (including packages) after a shutdown/reboot on 14.04 | 14:13 |
| TJ- | kamran: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027115/ | 14:14 |
| TJ- | kamran: I left in the "gb.archive" again! edit that to be just "archive" !! | 14:14 |
| geirha | TJ-: you want an array for that. pkg=( "/var/cache/apt/archives/${package}_"*.deb ); if [[ -f ${pkg[0]} ]]; then ... | 14:14 |
| kamran | TJ-: tu_dists_trusty_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages: command not found | 14:15 |
| TJ- | kamran: something is wrong with your copy-paste operation | 14:15 |
| kamran | TJ-: the one i saw here was shorted btw !!! | 14:15 |
| kamran | TJ-: let me do soemthing | 14:15 |
| Guest42867 | RUNNING 12.04 with no problems (nvidia updates have been problematic) | 14:15 |
| Guest42867 | does 14.04 seem good to go for an update, or can it wait for a little bug removal? | 14:15 |
| system0x01 | Bluetooth Driver(RT3290/MT7630) on HP ProBook G1 455 not work on new kernel | 14:16 |
| kamran | TJ-: my mouse has connecting problem and maybe it disconnected while selecting it, let me download it ! | 14:16 |
| f00dWorksta | Been using 14.04 for a while now, only a few minor glitches here and there | 14:16 |
| TJ- | geirha: I'm trying not to rely on bashisms, just in case | 14:16 |
| TJ- | kamran: here's the corrected pastebin for you http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027124/ | 14:16 |
| kamran | TJ-: after downloading it and CTRL-A and V i get this : awk: cannot open /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages (No such file or directory) | 14:16 |
| cslcm | I wish Unity was less Mac OS'y | 14:16 |
| geirha | TJ-: Then you'll at least want something that won't fail so easily | 14:17 |
| TJ- | kamran: Yeah, as I said, I left in the gb.archive on that one because that's what mine is set to :) | 14:17 |
| kamran | TJ-: now i got result | 14:17 |
| TJ- | geirha: It fails because the paste is incomplete! | 14:17 |
| Guest42867 | thanks | 14:17 |
| kamran | TJ-: 739216c4b2546f3f00d0049bb55e6b43 is the MD5 sum for: fglrx-amdcccle-updates 739216c4b2546f3f00d0049bb55e6b43 /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-amdcccle-updates_2%3a13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb | 14:17 |
| TJ- | kamran: Can you pastebin it please | 14:17 |
| kamran | Tj-: ok | 14:18 |
| kamran | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027153/ , sorry :) | 14:18 |
| geirha | TJ-: it will fail if sie happens to have more than one deb file for a given package | 14:18 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: how is unity mac os'y? :o | 14:18 |
| TJ- | kamran: OK, that package is good but you don't have the "fglrx" package downloaded yet, so do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install fglrx" | 14:18 |
| kamran | TJ-: thats gonna take long with my net, ok let me do it | 14:18 |
| system0x01 | how to run ralink (mediatek present) combo device bleuetooth/wifi | 14:19 |
| TJ- | kamran: That's the only solution, that system is *missing* the "fglrx" package, as "apt-cache policy" confirmed earlier | 14:19 |
| kamran | TJ-: oh its only 6mb, i otught its gonna download the whole 125 mb again | 14:19 |
| system0x01 | on new kernel | 14:19 |
| cslcm | f00dWorksta: My main gripe is the application menus being detached from the application and being at the top of the screen. It's bad UX | 14:19 |
| kamran | TJ-: ok :) will tell you when its done | 14:19 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: you can put menus back to the window | 14:19 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: at least in 14.04 you can | 14:19 |
| Akshay | kamran: there man? | 14:19 |
| dino82 | Does ubuntu not use a true bash shell by default? Bash scripts that work fine on CentOS seem to be completely broken in Ubuntu 14.04 | 14:20 |
| kamran | Akshay : what? | 14:20 |
| TJ- | kamran: Once it is installed, assuming apt-get doesn't report errors, you'll be best to reboot the PC to ensure the DRI drivers get loaded correctly. Then come back here after testing it to tell me if that fixed it or not | 14:20 |
| kamran | Akshay : oh, yes im here if you ask if im afk :) | 14:20 |
| geirha | dino82: Yes. The scripts that fail are probably sh scripts using bashisms. | 14:20 |
| Akshay | kamran: I've already set it to auto detect | 14:20 |
| kamran | TJ-: ok :) i will reboot after that, and will come with same name | 14:20 |
| Akshay | kamran: still facing the issues | 14:20 |
| geirha | dino82: you can fix that by changing their shebang to #!/usr/bin/env bash | 14:20 |
| kamran | Akshay : sadly i have no other ideas | 14:20 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: Settings > Apperance > Behavior > Show the menus for a window > In the window's title bar | 14:20 |
| kamran | Akshay : atleast for now, my brain is messy, i have my own problem xD | 14:21 |
| dino82 | I'll try that, thanks | 14:21 |
| sideup66 | hello room | 14:21 |
| TJ- | dino82: Ubuntu uses "dash", an 'sh' extension, by default for system scripts. User's shells are usually Bash though | 14:21 |
| sideup66 | anyone here have any experience with installing emit? Im trying to create an emit server on ubuntu 14.04 desktop | 14:21 |
| Akshay | kamran: no problem man | 14:21 |
| geirha | dino82: See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/Practices#Choose_Your_Shell for more on that. | 14:21 |
| Akshay | kamran: thanks for help | 14:21 |
| dino82 | Thanks | 14:21 |
| kamran | Akshay : :) sorry that i cant help, | 14:22 |
| sideup66 | and for whatever reason, it doesnt seem to follow through, it installs and starts, but when I try torun it, the output is that it upnp recieves an unknown message | 14:22 |
| system0x01 | I have some issue with rt3290 - on new kernel the bluetooth not work. | 14:22 |
| Akshay | kamran: no rpoblem man | 14:24 |
| kamran | i was about to giev another idea :( he left !!! | 14:24 |
| sideup66 | ? | 14:24 |
| dino82 | Hmm changing the shebang at the top of my script didn't work, getting the same error | 14:24 |
| cslcm | f00dWorksta: thanks, that's helpful :) Is there a way to get rid of the OSX-like sidebar too? | 14:26 |
| cslcm | and just use desktop icons | 14:26 |
| Inoki | Guys I have a question; I'm about to re-install a laptop with a given name for the home folder. Can I change this home folder's name during the live session and when I specify the new home folder name during installation will it be normally mounted? | 14:26 |
| ObrienDave | cslcm, install xubuntu-desktop, select at logon | 14:27 |
| geirha | dino82: what's the error? | 14:27 |
| trijntje | Inoki: what do you mean exactly, directories aren't "mounted" during installation | 14:28 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: you can either use another desktop environment like ObrienDave suggested: xubuntu (XFCE), gnome-shell. | 14:28 |
| geirha | dino82: also note that ''sh scriptfile'' is wrong; that overrides the shebang and runs it with sh | 14:28 |
| dino82 | Yes, I've been using ./script.sh | 14:29 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: or you can hide the bar and reveal it when needed: Settings > Appearance > Behaviour > Auto-hide the Launcher | 14:29 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Hello | 14:29 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: if you really don't want to even reveal it, set the reveal sensitivity to really LOW | 14:29 |
| Inoki | trijntje: I mean you have a home folder that has a specific name and holds your files. In order to mount this specific folder after a fresh install you need to specify your login name (which is the name of your folder). | 14:30 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: as in set it to the lowest, it won't show ever again | 14:30 |
| geirha | dino82: ok, then the error might be that it uses a non-standard command that is either not available, or different in ubuntu | 14:30 |
| EL3PHANTEN | I have tried to install winsows and ubuntu on my laptop, It just won work | 14:30 |
| f00dWorksta | cslcm: well it shows when you press the super key to show the launcher | 14:30 |
| EL3PHANTEN | I have had ubuntu on, And I have had windows on. | 14:30 |
| moth3r | Is there a fast (yet possibly secure) alternative to sshfs? | 14:30 |
| moth3r | I can't handle sshfs anyomre, wayyy too slow. | 14:31 |
| trijntje | Inoki: again, mounting folders doesn't make any sense. Do you have a separate home partition? | 14:31 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: what are your requirements | 14:31 |
| f00dWorksta | EL3PHANTEN: what is the problem? | 14:31 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: whay do you mean it doesn't wrk? | 14:31 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: only requirement is a tolerable connection. | 14:32 |
| eeee_ | *what | 14:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Inoki you mount a device *to* a folder | 14:32 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: what do you use it for? | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett_ | !details | EL3PHANTEN, | 14:32 |
| ubottu | EL3PHANTEN,: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 14:32 |
| kamran | TJ-: 40%, what should i test after rebooting, just check cpu usage? | 14:32 |
| TJ- | trijntje: Actually, home directories *are* mounted if they're encrypted: "/home/tj/.Private on /home/tj type ecryptfs" | 14:32 |
| EL3PHANTEN | When I have a clean windows installation on. I run Ubuntu 14.04.1 windows installer. But when I reboot and come in to ubuntu, it says no root defined | 14:32 |
| TJ- | kamran: Yes, do everything you know that was causing problems, check the CPU usage etc, | 14:32 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: Everything. I use it like I use the hard disk in my laptop. I have 3 external hard drives I concatinated and mounted on a remote machine. | 14:32 |
| ldiamond | Anyone upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04.01? How was it? Should I just do a clean install? | 14:33 |
| EL3PHANTEN | * no root file system is defined | 14:33 |
| kamran | TJ-: i also check if tf2 is fixed ! | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett_ | ldiamond, painless > clean install | 14:33 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: remote drives should really only be used for storage... have you tried plain ol' NFS? | 14:33 |
| TJ- | kamran: good luck :) | 14:33 |
| kamran | TJ-: will tell you :) let me make some coffe xD thanks a lot for till here | 14:34 |
| geirha | Oh, wubi is still supported? I thought I heard it got dropped | 14:34 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: is that during the installation? | 14:34 |
| ldiamond | cfhowlett_, I'll give it a shot, if I regret my decision it won't be too late to clean it up. | 14:34 |
| cfhowlett_ | geirha, WUBI IS UNSUPPORTED! | 14:34 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: no. is there some level of security? and am I able to mount it on this computer? | 14:34 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: is your remote machine within your local network? | 14:34 |
| dino82 | Ok, got the script to work, thanks | 14:34 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: yes, but I access it outside of my network. | 14:35 |
| geirha | cfhowlett_: good, then I heard right :) | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett_ | EL3PHANTEN, if you used the windows installer - you messed up. it doesn't like 14.04 and I'm pretty sure we TOLD you not to use it. | 14:35 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: Yes I have installed windows first, on my only 1TB partition | 14:36 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: and you only use it as storage? or do you work off of it? | 14:36 |
| geirha | dino82: also, in the future, avoid putting extensions on scripts | 14:36 |
| Inoki | trijntje: During installation you get a screen where you insert your credentials, password and login name (which will be your home folder name). If, after a fresh installation (and mounting /home separately) you, on this specific login screen put a different login name than the previously used your home folder will not contain any files, because you haven't used your previous login so when you mount /home separately you will have a new folder wit | 14:36 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: I work off of it | 14:36 |
| ldiamond | cfhowlett_, geirha : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide maybe this page needs to be updated though | 14:36 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: and you're using the "something else" option during the installation? | 14:37 |
| EL3PHANTEN | cfhowlett_, okey. Then I will reinstall windows on the partition, so that is the only thing I have. Okey? | 14:37 |
| trijntje | Inoki: your message got truncated because it was too long. Please split it up and poste it again | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett_ | EL3PHANTEN, good move | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett_ | ldiamond, yes, it does need to be updated | 14:37 |
| geirha | ldiamond: ouch! | 14:37 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: one more question... defined 'slow' | 14:37 |
| ldiamond | EL3PHANTEN, not sure exactly what your situation is, but be sure to inspect your current partitions to find out if you actually wiped it or if it's just the bootloader. | 14:37 |
| dino82 | I assume it's an effort to keep others from being confused as to what type of script it is? | 14:37 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: 123 kb/s | 14:37 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: I have tried so many times. I dont know. But I will go trough the process right now | 14:38 |
| geirha | dino82: that and avoiding headaches if you end up rewriting it in another language | 14:38 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: I don't think that's sshfs's problem then... | 14:38 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: i think you aren't specifying the root filesystem during the installation, | 14:38 |
| Inoki | trijntje: During installation you get a screen where you insert your credentials, password and login name (which will be your home folder name). | 14:38 |
| TJ- | Inoki: Before running the install, you could rename the existing home directory, then rename it back to the required name once you've installed | 14:38 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: It is a number of problems...but alleviating some of the layers of encryption would speed this up a bit | 14:38 |
| Inoki | trijntje: If, after a fresh installation (and mounting /home separately) you, on this specific login screen put a different login name than the previously used your home folder will not contain any files, | 14:38 |
| Inoki | trijntje: because you haven't used your previous login so when you mount /home separately you will have a new folder with no files and the previous /home folder won't be mounted again. | 14:39 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: encrytion is cheap nowadays | 14:39 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, not if the bottleneck is the bandwidth. | 14:39 |
| Inoki | trijntje: This happened to me before. So, if I go to live session, change the current home folder name to something else, put that something else as my new login, will it normally mount /home with all files? | 14:39 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: the bottleneck is the ethernet port, tiny tiny computer. | 14:39 |
| geirha | dino82: and the end user really doesn't care what language a command is written in as long as it does what it's supposed to do | 14:39 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, make sure you use the latest version of ssh on both the client and server. | 14:39 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: usually it's IO that's the bottleneck | 14:39 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: correct. | 14:39 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, the encrypted payload isn't much larger than the real thing. | 14:39 |
| EL3PHANTEN | cfhowlett_, ldiamond, okey. I have the laptop right besides me here. I am on my desktop now, so I will be here trought the process. And I will ask windows to delete all partitions, and format, and make a new windows partition. | 14:39 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: ldiamond: so you guys think I should change the machine that hosts the remote drives then? | 14:40 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: you have to choose "Something else" at the bottom of the screen, and create a partition for ubuntu, | 14:40 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: no need to delete windows | 14:40 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, what is that machine? | 14:40 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: okey? | 14:40 |
| eeee_ | you can probably just shrink the partition and use the free space for ubuntu | 14:40 |
| Inoki | TJ-: so that can work the other way around then. Go to live > rename home > head to install, choose new login > /home mounted. | 14:40 |
| trijntje | Inoki: yes, that should work. Just be sure to have a backup of all important files before you start, and make sure you do not format /home during the installation | 14:40 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, my Raspberry pi will likely serve much faster than that over sshfs. | 14:40 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: .....raspberry pi....I KNOW I KNOW...terrible idea. It was originally supposed to be strictly for storage | 14:40 |
| dino82 | geirha: Yeah this was a simple rsync deployment script with error checking, so that my wife can tell me if something went wrong with a specific error code :) | 14:40 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: it doesn't though | 14:41 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, there shouldn't be an issue. | 14:41 |
| Inoki | trijntje: thanks, perfect! | 14:41 |
| TJ- | Inoki: No ... if you're doing "Tru Ubuntu" and then running the installer from the desktop icon, then *before* you start the installer rename the user's home directory to something temporary such as "/home/user.backup", install as 'user' (which will create a new "/home/user/"), then once the installer is finished do "rm -rf /home/user/" and then "mv /home/user.backup /home/user" | 14:41 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: can you benchmark your remote machine first? | 14:41 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, do you use the ethernet port? | 14:41 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: yes | 14:41 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: I don't know how to dot hat | 14:41 |
| === SunTzu is now known as Jerubaal | ||
| Inoki | TJ-: okies, thanks! | 14:41 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_ okey. I will try this first. I will uninstall the wubi installation. And go to windows and shrink the partition. right? | 14:41 |
| GothPaw | I'm using 12.04 "update Manager" was in the middle of updating but has been sitting now for over 30 hours without doing anything, It's sitting at the following: run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub 3.13.0-32-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic | 14:42 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: right | 14:42 |
| EL3PHANTEN | 2 sec | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett_ | GothPaw, 30 HOURS? | 14:42 |
| TJ- | GothPaw: ouch! That should only take 20 seconds | 14:42 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: ssh into remote machine, then do "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda" | 14:42 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: please hold | 14:42 |
| TJ- | GothPaw: Is it possible the /boot/ partition has run out od space? | 14:42 |
| eeee_ | lol :'( | 14:42 |
| j0rd | soooooo. im sure this has been asked way too many times but where in the name of $deity is the pulseaudio packages for trusty? | 14:43 |
| TJ- | j0rd: "apt-cache search pulseaudio" | 14:43 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: okey now in windows administration, I shrink c: by 500GB. Okey? | 14:43 |
| MonkeyDust | j0rd i like your $DEITY :) | 14:43 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: as you wish | 14:43 |
| f00dWorksta | There is only 1 God | 14:44 |
| f00dWorksta | LOVE AND PEACE | 14:44 |
| j0rd | MonkeyDust: im getting the "E: Package 'pulseaudio' has no installation candidate" error | 14:44 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: "hdparm: command not found" | 14:44 |
| trijntje | moth3r: I get around 2 Mbps on my raspberry pi using nfs, it might be worth a shot | 14:44 |
| f00dWorksta | screw all the human made religions | 14:44 |
| f00dWorksta | anyway.. | 14:44 |
| moth3r | trijntje: can you mount using that? | 14:44 |
| j0rd | s/MonkeyDust/TJ/ | 14:44 |
| MonkeyDust | j0rd and your release supported? what's the outcome of cat /etc/issue | 14:44 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, consider trying different ciphers. | 14:44 |
| sideup66 | hello again | 14:44 |
| sideup66 | dunno if anyone responded | 14:44 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_, okey now I got 488GB unallocated. What next? | 14:44 |
| sideup66 | at work and was afk | 14:44 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: how would I do that? | 14:44 |
| TJ- | j0rd: have you recently changed the repository settings for the package manager? | 14:45 |
| trijntje | moth3r: yeah, but I'm not sure if nfs is encrypted | 14:45 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: is this a windows 8 efi system? | 14:45 |
| ldiamond | the -c param | 14:45 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: install the hdparm package? | 14:45 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: which cypher should I use? | 14:45 |
| TJ- | j0rd: which Ubuntu release is it ("cat /etc/issue") ? | 14:45 |
| j0rd | TJ-: no | 14:45 |
| j0rd | TJ-: MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 14:45 |
| TJ- | j0rd: Try "sudo apt-get update" then "apt-cache policy pulseaudio" | 14:45 |
| sideup66 | wat? | 14:46 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: it has some (UEFI, legacy support) settings in BIOS, and one setting, optimized for win8. | 14:46 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, try multiple ones. But RC4 and Blowfish should perform well enough | 14:46 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: I just type, "-c RC4"? as a param | 14:46 |
| ldiamond | be sure to try the "supposed" default aes, which may not be what's defaulted to with your installation (for some reason) | 14:46 |
| j0rd | its essentially stock. i bearly use it. i ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade this morning and it baked when i booted it just now. will run apt-get update and apt-cache policy pulseaudio now | 14:46 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: ok, you need to turn fast boot off for win8 | 14:46 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, -c arcfour | 14:47 |
| trijntje | moth3r: probably better to ask in #raspberrypi anyway, maybe the chip has build in support for some ciphers | 14:47 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: its win7 I am running | 14:47 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, however, know that RC4 isn't considered secure. | 14:47 |
| j0rd | TJ-: http://sprunge.us/BERg | 14:47 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: ok, then i guess boot the live USB | 14:47 |
| ldiamond | if you're transferring state secrets, I'd advise against it. | 14:47 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: okey 2 secs | 14:48 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: I'm less concerned about secrets and more concerned with just speed and keeping cleartext from happening | 14:48 |
| kamran | 91% | 14:48 |
| ldiamond | moth3r, do some testing with different ciphers, and as it was suggested, try #raspberrypi | 14:49 |
| moth3r | ldiamond: will do | 14:49 |
| moth3r | thanks | 14:49 |
| f00dWorksta | moth3r: ha I just saw that it's a rasberrypi, sorry no experience at that matter, ldiamond can take over completely :P | 14:49 |
| moth3r | f00dWorksta: hah | 14:50 |
| mjayk | Haya all im behind a proxy and I cant do sudo apt-get update, I can if I sudo su export http_proxy= then apt-get update | 14:50 |
| mjayk | and ideas | 14:50 |
| j0rd | TJ-: any thoughts? | 14:50 |
| MonkeyDust | mjayk why are you behind a proxy? | 14:50 |
| mjayk | MonkeyDust: because thats the way the network is configured | 14:50 |
| moth3r | trijntje: ldiamond: I'm trying with a different cypher and no compression.... wish me luck | 14:51 |
| MonkeyDust | mjayk what network? can you not contact the network manager? | 14:51 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_, now I cannot access BIOS. Had same problem before today. 2 min | 14:51 |
| geirha | mjayk: sudo http_proxy= apt-get update | 14:51 |
| mjayk | geirha: lemme try | 14:52 |
| TJ- | j0rd: Yeah... why have you got too sets of Ubuntu repos set, and with a pining on pulseaudio? | 14:52 |
| kamran | TJ-: restarting.... | 14:52 |
| TJ- | kamran: OK .. I'm off out to run the huskies... let me know in about 45 minutes ;) | 14:52 |
| mjayk | geirha: yes that works thanks is there anyway to set this as a global var because wget and curl dont seam to use it by default? | 14:53 |
| j0rd | TJ-: im honestly not sure. as i said, this box doesnt see much use. if the package is pinned its not on me. as for mirrors.kernel iirc i added it because the au.archive.ubuntu server can fall behind from time to time | 14:54 |
| geirha | mjayk: you mean wget and curl don't use the proxy? | 14:54 |
| mjayk | geirha: correct | 14:55 |
| geirha | but you want them to? | 14:55 |
| mjayk | yes | 14:55 |
| geirha | well, globally for all users, I'd probably put it in /etc/environment | 14:56 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: can you guide me on what BIOS settings to choose? . I can send a paste link | 14:57 |
| j0rd | ok, w/ TJ gone is there anyone else who cld take a stab helping me solve the pinned and missing pulseaudio? | 14:57 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: yeah sure | 14:57 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Okey wait | 14:57 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: is there some bios info, I should avoid to post, for security? | 14:58 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: i don't think so, no | 14:59 |
| ldiamond | EL3PHANTEN, only the password used to get in the bios. | 14:59 |
| ldiamond | If one is set. | 15:00 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Okey thank tou | 15:00 |

| bl4ckdu5t | I visited http://localhost/phpmyadmin and I can't find the file | 15:01 |
| ldiamond | try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/html | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | bl4ckdu5t is that a server? there's also #ubuntu-server | 15:01 |
| ldiamond | otherwise check the apache config. | 15:02 |
| Pici | bl4ckdu5t: is the configuration actually enabled? Is there a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ or /etc/apache2/conf.d/ ? | 15:02 |

| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: http://imgur.com/cumo8Rv,yghIGcs,m1NU6st,EB0UsVC there are 4 images | 15:05 |
| ldiamond | bl4ckdu5t, it's the apache config you need. | 15:06 |
| ldiamond | phpmyadmin runs on an apache server in the default install. | 15:07 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: there where it says legacy support, I can choose UEFI | 15:07 |

| bl4ckdu5t | and is it this config /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config/config.php ? | 15:09 |
| ldiamond | bl4ckdu5t, I hate apache with a passion, try #mysql #phpmyadmin or #apache | 15:09 |
| ldiamond | bl4ckdu5t, that's the phpmyadmin config. | 15:09 |
| kamran | TJ-: are you here? | 15:09 |
| ldiamond | phpmyadmin isn't a server, only a set of php files. | 15:10 |
| Pici | bl4ckdu5t: no. /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf needs to be symlinked from within /etc/apache2/conf.d/ or from /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ | 15:10 |
| Pici | bl4ckdu5t: if you don't have /etc/apache2/conf.d/, then you should have the other | 15:10 |

| iainv2 | How do I reset back to default desktop in 14.04 please? | 15:13 |

| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: sorry, im back, | 15:14 |
| EL3PHANTEN | okey | 15:14 |
| MonkeyDust | iainv2 i guess you can simply do unity --reset or so | 15:15 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: I wrote some otion I have further up in the chat | 15:15 |
| iainv2 | I changed from default, got a menu but want original Ubuntu sidebar back | 15:15 |
| eeee_ | yeah reading it now | 15:15 |
| MonkeyDust | iainv2 then logout, switch, login | 15:16 |
| xangua | iainv2: changed to what¿ what menu¿ please elaborate | 15:16 |
| iainv2 | I've got a drop down menu instead of the original icons. Bit of a newbie I'm afraid | 15:17 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: when you start the PC if you press ESC do you get a boot options? | 15:18 |
| MonkeyDust | iainv2 sounds like you're in the classic fallback desktop | 15:18 |
| EL3PHANTEN | I thin it is f12 | 15:18 |
| EL3PHANTEN | think* | 15:18 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: try that, and select the USB | 15:19 |
| stevecoh1 | quit | 15:20 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: sry I guess that didnt work with the legacy option first. Then I did hold shift and pressed restart to access the BIOS again | 15:20 |
| bencc | why does "hostname –fqdn" give me "hostname: the specified hostname is invalid" | 15:20 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Shall I choose UEFI first | 15:20 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: ok, you need to get the USB HDD to the top of the list | 15:20 |
| bencc | /etc/hostname is "example.dev" | 15:20 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: no, leave it legacy | 15:20 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Okey | 15:20 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: if windows is installed in legacy, ubuntu should be installed in legacy as well | 15:21 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: ALL settings okey from the screenshots? | 15:21 |
| MonkeyDust | bencc does the same here, i guess the options cannot be combined | 15:21 |
| iainv2 | Thanks, I'll try switching | 15:21 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: yeah | 15:21 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Okey | 15:21 |
| bencc | MonkeyDust: what? | 15:22 |
| bencc | MonkeyDust: on my server it works | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | bencc yes, then maybe it's a combination that works on server, but not on desktop | 15:23 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Okey eeee_: shall I Install Ubuntu or Try Ubuntu | 15:23 |
| bencc | MonkeyDust: very helpful :) | 15:24 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: if you're ready to install, then install ubuntu, or maybe try ubuntu to see how it runs | 15:24 |
| eeee_ | with your hardware and if you like it | 15:24 |
| EL3PHANTEN | It runs perfectly. I have run Ubuntu on this for months | 15:25 |

| kamran | TJ-: it lags much less now but still lags with tear free, i get these weird slowmotions in teamfortress 2 | 16:01 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_ okey will try that first then | 16:01 |
| odisa | if it's only the resoluton, just type in "displays" in the Unity search bar, and see if you can alter it manually gottaGO | 16:01 |
| reisio | EL3PHANTEN: so the problem is you want to access your windows files from Ubuntu? | 16:01 |
| Somaya | what does dig ns. command do? | 16:02 |
| EL3PHANTEN | reisio: I want win7 and ubuntu on one laptop | 16:02 |
| TJ- | kamran: Isn't 'tear-free' another name for vertical synchronisation, so the frames are only updated when the GPU isn't rendering the display framebuffer? | 16:02 |
| EL3PHANTEN | Dont care if I aceess files | 16:02 |
| kamran | TJ-: i guess | 16:02 |
| EL3PHANTEN | use cloud | 16:02 |
| kamran | TJ-: it amkes vertical sync on unless apps spicifies, that makes windows a little slower | 16:02 |
| eeee_ | reisio: he is installing ubuntu with win7, already partitioned, but ubuntu installer says the drive is completely empty during the installation, lsblk sees the windows partition though | 16:03 |
| kamran | TJ-: but i can live with it now, it slower, another problem is that sublime scrolling still lags a lot ! | 16:03 |
| TJ- | kamran: Usually V-Sync will lock to the local mains refresh which is 50Hz in Europe and most of Asia, and 60Hz in North America and other places | 16:03 |
| reisio | oh installing, sorry | 16:03 |
| kamran | TJ-> 0_0 what does it have to do with country?! | 16:03 |
| TJ- | kamran: Well, I can't really help you there... except to say... re-check the logs for clues of other issues | 16:03 |
| reisio | EL3PHANTEN: laptop? | 16:03 |
| kamran | TJ-: thanks a lot xD | 16:04 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: were you running with UEFI enabled before? | 16:04 |
| kamran | TJ-: but anyway the teamfortress poroblem, can you help me with taht? | 16:04 |
| TJ- | kamran: V-Sync rate is matched to the local mains Alternating Current frequency | 16:04 |
| kamran | TJ-: i tought its related to monitor | 16:04 |
| OerHeks | EL3PHANTEN, you had this issue yesterday too, then you were using gdisk, as you countered the GPT issue | 16:04 |
| swift_ninja | can i install ubuntu without removing the exisiting windows 8.1?? | 16:04 |
| TJ- | kamran: Sorry, no, that's something you probably need hands-on to solve, because its about perception more than actual proven faults as shown by error reports | 16:05 |
| EL3PHANTEN | OerHeks Yes. formatted several times today | 16:05 |
| kamran | TJ-: ok thanks a lot for helping:) now the cpu usage is also fixed, only spikes to 100% rarely ! and gets 20% when selecting text but nromaly is only 2% | 16:05 |
| TJ- | kamran: Yes, the monitor being mains powered in the old Cathode Ray Tube days, the fly-back was synchronised to the mains frequency. So bit-blitting was done during flyback to avoid 'tearing' and other artifacts | 16:06 |
| odisa | reisio: So what mount point does GRUB usually sit in? This is the drive in GParted: http://i.imgur.com/HSS5jqb.png | 16:06 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: it came with win8 and UEFI | 16:06 |
| Somaya | can you tell me what does dig ns. command do? | 16:06 |
| swift_ninja | can i install ubuntu without removing the exisiting windows 8.1?? | 16:06 |
| kamran | TJ-: :O cool, but anyway i gtg thanks ! i guess you also helped me ehre with another problem :P cya ! | 16:06 |
| reisio | odisa: grub is usually installed into the beginning of the first device/disk, /dev/sda, before the first partition | 16:06 |
| reisio | odisa: with U/EFI it's a little different | 16:06 |
| EL3PHANTEN | reisio: yes Lenovo IdeaPad s510p | 16:06 |
| reisio | odisa: and if you're dual booting, there are more considerations | 16:06 |
| TJ- | kamran: 20% during selecting sounds like the fancy 3D effects are being done on the CPU rather than via OpenGL on GPU, but I don't know if that is expected for that program, or not | 16:06 |
| Nohofoo | I wan't to join the vboxsf group on ubuntu 14.04 | 16:06 |
| reisio | EL3PHANTEN: look in your bios for sata options | 16:07 |
| reisio | Nohofoo: gpasswd | 16:07 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: ok, then that's probably the problem, windows 7 converted to MBR but the gpt backup partition is still there, confusing the installer | 16:07 |
| Nohofoo | so I tried : sudo useradd vboxsf noah | 16:07 |
| odisa | reisio: it's a single boot disk, with apparently EFI and crypt-luks | 16:07 |
| kamran | TJ-: i was selecting text in terminal(top stats) | 16:07 |
| reisio | odisa: why do you ask? | 16:07 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: as per thread i gave you, so use FixParts | 16:07 |
| Somaya | can you people tell me what does dig ns. command do???????????????? | 16:07 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_ so I should reinstall the whole thing, with UEFI, or try fixparts first? | 16:07 |
| reisio | Somaya: 'man dig' can | 16:08 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_ okey | 16:08 |
| Pici | Somaya: did you read the manpage? | 16:08 |
| TJ- | kamran: Yes, which runs under the X server ... which is responsible via the compositing manager for the effects | 16:08 |
| odisa | reisio: because running update & upgrade cmds gave me the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027499/ | 16:08 |
| kamran | TJ-: so thats normal now ! | 16:08 |
| kamran | TJ-: it used to go 60% when selecting and 20% idle, now its 20selcting and 2 idle :) but anyway thanks ! bye | 16:08 |
| odisa | selecting /boot seems logical, but I don't wanna mess up GRUB | 16:09 |
| EL3PHANTEN | reisio: http://imgur.com/cumo8Rv,yghIGcs,m1NU6st,EB0UsVC there are 4 images BIOS | 16:09 |
| reisio | odisa: ask the channel, I'm unfamiliar with U/EFI | 16:09 |
| Somaya | pici the command is this | 16:09 |
| TJ- | kamran: Yay, that looks good. Enjoy :) | 16:09 |
| kamran | Bye :D | 16:09 |
| odisa | reisio: alright. thanks for having a look nevertheless | 16:09 |
| Pici | 70 | 16:09 |
| TJ- | odisa: "grub-pc" means GRUB/Ubuntu is/was installed in Legacy BIOS mode. Were you expecting it to be UEFI? | 16:10 |
| Somaya | pici can you tell me what does it do? | 16:10 |
| Pici | Somaya: the manpage says it right at the top: DNS lookup utility | 16:10 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_ what should I do fixparts on? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027515/ | 16:11 |
| odisa | TJ-: To be honest, I just flew through the installation when I did it.. I don't even completely know what UEFI is | 16:11 |
| odisa | I selected the disk encryption option (not the home folder encryption) when installing | 16:12 |
| odisa | perhaps that that necessitated UEFI automatically? | 16:12 |
| MoPac | Hoping to clarify: is the only way to set custom touchscreen gestures (like 2-finger scroll) to install ginn? And is the only way to enable ginn to modify the Unity source to disable all of its gesture handling? | 16:12 |
| swift_ninja | how can i dual boot my laptop with ubuntu. I am running windows 8.1 now?? | 16:12 |
| TJ- | odisa: Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, the replacement for the 'legacy' BIOS, which supports decent firmware <> OS communications, and removes the need for bootloaders that argue over which one is the primary | 16:12 |
| MoPac | !Dualboot | swift_ninja | 16:13 |
| ubottu | swift_ninja: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 16:13 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: /dev/sdb | 16:13 |
| EL3PHANTEN | okey | 16:13 |
| odisa | TJ-: ahh yes I vaguely remember.. iffy on the details. so my harddrive is configured to UEFI, while I probably still run BIOS? pardon the tangent, but that doesn't seem to make any sense | 16:14 |
| TJ- | odisa: When the motherboard's UEFI firmware looks for boot devices, if in UEFI-only mode (not Compatibility Support Module aka Legacy BIOS mode) it looks for a disk that is has a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and that has a FAT12/16/32 partition with type 'EF00', in which case it can read boot-loaders for all installed operating systems from there. | 16:14 |
| TJ- | odisa: If the CSM was enabled, then it is possible the Ubuntu installer was started in BIOS mode, in which case it wouldn't know there was an UEFI services and would use "grub-pc" instead of "grub-efi" to install the boot-loader to the disk. | 16:15 |
| gottaGO | odisa, it was after an HWE update - I followed the solution here [ http://askubuntu.com/questions/503724/12-04-x-hwe-hardware-enablement-update-broke-nvidia-proprietary-drivers ] and now seems ok :) | 16:15 |
| TJ- | odisa: Choosing UEFI or Legacy BIOS CSM boot is sometimes difficult because the UEFI boot menu options don't make it clear which entry's are for an EFI boot and which will be 'legacy BIOS' boots | 16:16 |
| eeee_ | odisa: do you remember if there was a tiny man at the bottom of the ubuntu load screen ? | 16:16 |
| TJ- | odisa: So, it may be worth reading the system manual and any other documentation about using the boot-loader | 16:16 |
| odisa | acryonym overload.. I don't understand why everything was working fine.. I mean I'm on the laptop as we speak. and now this error message | 16:16 |
| odisa | eeee_: I have a horrible memory, sorry | 16:17 |
| odisa | gottaGO: thanks, I'll give that a read in a bit | 16:17 |
| odisa | glad you fixed your issue gottaGO | 16:17 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ I am at the part where it asks if I want to delete GPT signatures. yes or no | 16:17 |
| gottaGO | odisa, thanks for the help | 16:17 |
| === Player is now known as Guest22971 | ||
| odisa | sure thing :) | 16:17 |
| odisa | reisio: could it be that the GRUB was incorrectly updated, thus changing it to grub-pc? | 16:18 |
| LiamW | I'm starting to panic | 16:18 |
| LiamW | http://i.imgur.com/UuQtk3U.png | 16:18 |
| eeee_ | EL3PHANTEN: yeah | 16:18 |
| LiamW | breaking the lock then running sudo dpkg --configure -a segfaults with the same line | 16:18 |
| reisio | odisa: it could be that you didn't even have grub before | 16:20 |
| odisa | sorry I meant TJ- in that message, not reisio .. | 16:20 |
| odisa | could be.. | 16:20 |
| reisio | and the script is too dumb to distinguish between not existing and things having changed | 16:20 |
| odisa | perhaps a clean install is in order then | 16:21 |
| odisa | just to simplify things | 16:21 |
| reisio | nah | 16:21 |
| odisa | would loading into the BIOS.. or I guess perhaps EFI, offer more information to aid diagnosis? | 16:22 |
| eeee_ | odisa: i don't get what's going on with you, you are sure you're using uefi, and ubuntu is installed in uefi, but it's using the bios grub-pc? | 16:22 |
| daftykins | LiamW: i'd be using "sudo apt-get -f install" but i guess it calls the same thing in a round-about way. have you considered purging your package cache and having it re-download? | 16:23 |
| LiamW | daftykins: how should I go about doing that? | 16:23 |
| LiamW | that will probably end up calling the same thing | 16:23 |
| odisa | eeee_: I'm not sure.. I have barely a clue what the difference is between BIOS or UEFI, even though it was just explained to me. | 16:23 |
| odisa | eeee_: The HDD reads as EFI in GParted | 16:23 |
| daftykins | LiamW: sudo apt-get clean | 16:23 |
| eeee_ | odisa: do you have a efi partition? type in the terminal lsblk | grep /boot/efi | 16:24 |
| LiamW | daftykins: looks like same crash | 16:24 |
| odisa | eeee_: ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi | 16:24 |
| eeee_ | yeah so what makes you think you're using grub-pc? | 16:25 |
| TJ- | odisa: the "grub-pc" package is only installed to legacy BIOS systems; for UEFI systems "grub-efi" is installed. The decision is based on which mode the PC started in, and whether the OS can see the EFI services at "/sys/firmware/efi/..." | 16:25 |
| LiamW | daftykins: this is the last invocation before it dies: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-extlinux 3.13.0-33-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-33-generic | 16:25 |
| LiamW | it was executed by | 16:25 |
| LiamW | # run-parts -v /etc/kernel/postinst.d -a 3.13.0-33-generic -a /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-33-generic | 16:25 |
| TJ- | eeee_: "Configuring grub-pc" is a big hint at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027499/ | 16:25 |
| odisa | eeee_: this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027499/ | 16:25 |

| eeee_ | sorry i wasn't following | 16:26 |
| reisio | Somaya: what? | 16:26 |
| Somaya | dig ns . | 16:27 |
| odisa | wouldn't having a UEFI system require manual updating to my MoBo, considering this laptop is 2 years old and UEFI is rather new? | 16:27 |
| TJ- | odisa: Is this caused maybe by GRUB being installed to *two* drives, once in Legacy mode and the other in UEFI, and right now it has booted in legacy mode ? | 16:27 |
| Somaya | what does it do | 16:27 |
| TJ- | odisa: UEFI came out in 2001 :) | 16:27 |
| reisio | Somaya: 'man dig' | 16:27 |
| odisa | TJ-: that could very well be! I have two drives with Ubuntu on it. and oh, my bad | 16:27 |
| Somaya | i sayed my ubuntu reinstalled | 16:27 |
| odisa | would unmounting the inactive Ubuntu 12.04 drive I have help? | 16:27 |
| TJ- | odisa: Yeah... I think that is probably what has happened... if so, the solution may be as simple as altering the firmware's boot-order | 16:27 |
| aluno2 | hack | 16:28 |
| TJ- | odisa: No, because grub-probe will search all connected devices looking for grub installations | 16:28 |
| reisio | well, not U-EFI, not exactly :p | 16:28 |
| aluno2 | s | 16:28 |
| odisa | TJ-: so either change boot order, or disconnect HDD during GRUB update? | 16:28 |
| EL3PHANTEN | eeee_: finally. fixparts did it. Now I got the option to install together with windows. Now its installing. Actually I dont know if that was the wrong choise, now that I made that unallocated partition. | 16:28 |
| reisio | its adoption is slow, though, partly because all adoptions are slow, and partly because it has no particular benefit :p | 16:29 |
| Somaya | reisio , what do you mean? | 16:29 |
| reisio | Somaya: it's a command, run it | 16:29 |

| odisa | thereby freeing up dpkg and allowing me to install pastebinit | 16:49 |
| odisa | I'll try that first then | 16:49 |
| daftykins | leeyaa: what do you mean? | 16:49 |
| TJ- | odisa: I wonder... are you using the BASH or DASH shell ("echo $SHELL") ? | 16:49 |
| leeyaa | daftykins: replace package version for apt by adding a repository for that, similar to centos | 16:49 |
| leeyaa | im not sure how to find package:version in apt, i did try searching in cache for 5.3 | 16:50 |
| daftykins | leeyaa: as in set up your own cache mirror? | 16:50 |
| odisa | bash, TJ- | 16:50 |
| TJ- | odisa: OK, then that command should work. | 16:50 |
| leeyaa | daftykins: no, it is fresh 14.04 and i need to install php 5.3 | 16:50 |
| odisa | TJ-: can I add -v to run it in verbose somehow? | 16:51 |
| daftykins | leeyaa: oh so perhaps 14.04 never had 5.3 then | 16:51 |
| bijoo_ | I have Nvidia optimus card; and of course Ubuntu don't work with that (well it does, but don't really support it; e.g. can't have multiple monitors) So now I'm running a Windows as host; and running Ubuntu raw disk VM; and can setup multiple monitors; though I feel like a cheat, I'm glad it works. | 16:51 |
| leeyaa | daftykins: would searching for php5.3 be enough to find it ? | 16:52 |
| TJ- | odisa: switch it around a bit: "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda >/tmp/gdisk.log; sudo gdisk -l /dev/ssdb >>/tmp/gdisk.log" | 16:52 |
| LiamW | bijoo_: proprietary drivers, eh | 16:52 |
| OerHeks | !info php5 precise | 16:52 |

| tekk | i just upgraded my kernel, prior to which, usb hard drives came up as “ata-ST3000DM001-9YN166_Z1F12VEF” and so on… now they come up as “usb-ST3000DM_001-9YN112_1F12EFFFFFFF-0:0”, did usb-storage get some kinda upgrade? | 16:52 |
| OerHeks | leeyaa, intall 12.04 | 16:52 |
| daftykins | bijoo_: did you not try bumblebee and nvidia-prime? optimus isn't a card but a technology. | 16:52 |
| TJ- | odisa: correct my ssdb typo! | 16:52 |
| bijoo_ | LiamW: I know; I'm stupid for not checking first. Never buying Nvidia again. | 16:52 |
| LiamW | bijoo_: really? they make some of the best cards out there | 16:52 |
| leeyaa | OerHeks: i need to install it on trusty | 16:52 |
| bijoo_ | daftykins: I'd spent too many hours for my good; this semes like the best solution for me. | 16:53 |
| leeyaa | we are upgrading from ubuntu 6, 8 and 12 to 14.04 LTS | 16:53 |
| odisa | TJ-: I did that, and success! | 16:53 |
| daftykins | leeyaa: probably not no 'cause it'd be nestled under 'php5' so you'd need the specific version of that package name | 16:53 |
| leeyaa | so i guess ill have to look for a .deb package then | 16:53 |
| bijoo_ | LiamW: I know, but seems proprietary stuff; it don't mix well with Ubuntu too well. | 16:53 |
| daftykins | bijoo_: ok, so you don't actually have a question then, you just came in to say that? ;) | 16:53 |
| odisa | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8028029/ | 16:53 |
| TJ- | tekk: symlink paths are created by udev, not the kernel | 16:53 |
| tekk | ok | 16:53 |
| tekk | hmm | 16:53 |
| tekk | additionally it seems the usb 3.0 devices seem to being treated as usb 2.0 | 16:53 |
| LiamW | bijoo_: works mostly ok here, nouveau drivers don't actually work for me but nvidia drivers are good, I can use CUDA, etc | 16:54 |
| tekk | need to look into that… it may be the bios, so will check there before digging into ehci | 16:54 |
| bijoo_ | daftykins: Yes I'm just throwing it out in the room; since I know I'm not the only one there ;) | 16:54 |
| TJ- | odisa: OK, you see /dev/sda has partition #1 type EF00? That's an EFI System Partition | 16:54 |
| TJ- | odisa: whereas /dev/sdb has a legacy MBR partition table so can only be the boot device in CSM mode | 16:55 |
| bijoo_ | LiamW: yes, I've always switch to Windows for that. | 16:55 |
| TJ- | odisa: /dev/sda also has two other Linux file systems.... use "sudo blkid /dev/sda*" and then pastebin the result, please | 16:56 |
| odisa | TJ-: ... I can boot in to either just fine. Maybe it automatically switches? Either way.. I suppose I shouldn't install grub-pc on sda then? | 16:56 |
| odisa | will do | 16:56 |
| === sari is now known as Guest49176 | ||
| TJ- | odisa: Indeed not! | 16:57 |
| daftykins | leeyaa: perhaps finding a PPA with the older version and prioritising it would be your best bet, i think what you're doing is wrong though for what it's worth. | 16:57 |
| TJ- | odisa: Choose /dev/sdb | 16:57 |
| erm3nda | daftykins: i have no asking about firm, device or somethingelse. Im asking about how to mount mtd block devices from Ubuntu :( | 16:57 |
| leeyaa | daftykins: atm im testing and writing plans to update os, later we will deal with the code. it might even work with 5.5.9 but i really doubt it. | 16:58 |
| daftykins | erm3nda: right, but we only support official versions of the OS. | 16:58 |
| odisa | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8028066/ | 16:58 |
| TJ- | odisa: I think the problem here is, you've got 2 separate Ubuntu installations :) | 16:58 |
| odisa | TJ-: despite my lack of knowledge on the subject, I'm inclined to believe your theory of sdb messing up the updater is correct | 16:58 |
| jkcso | TJ-, Actually, that looks more akin to one encrypted install. | 16:59 |
| odisa | Yes.. I figured that wouldn't be a problem if on seperate disks and one unmounted.. | 16:59 |
| shal3r | I ended up with zero free disk space while upgrading kernels (apt-get dist-upgrade) and got few errors in update process. How to assure that system will not be broken? | 16:59 |
| jkcso | TJ-, EFI, /boot, and everything else. Without seeing the partition sizes, though, that's just a guess. | 16:59 |
| TJ- | odisa: OK, so that output shows that /dev/sda3 is the encrypted volume, and we know from the previous pastebins that /dev/sda2 is an unencrypted /boot/ partition that presumably belongs with it | 16:59 |
| odisa | one is encrypted with the crypt-luks that came with the new 14.04. the other is 12.04 | 16:59 |
| daftykins | shal3r: you can remove some older kernels and make space. is this with a separate /boot partition? | 16:59 |
| TJ- | jkcso: Yes, that's correct. | 16:59 |
| odisa | TJ-: that I can follow | 16:59 |
| jkcso | TJ-, I feel like I've missed a preceding portion of this conversation. | 17:00 |
| erm3nda | daftykins: understand. Maybe later come back and ask how to mount mtd devices over a manufactured Ubuntu device... :( | 17:00 |
| TJ- | odisa: So, for this pending grub-install operation choose "/dev/sdb" and you'll be fine | 17:00 |
| erm3nda | sad to know. Thank you anyway | 17:00 |
| TJ- | jkcso: About 1/2 hour worth :) | 17:00 |
| shal3r | daftykins, i freed some disk space now and it's not on /boot. i just need to somehow be sure that new kernels are not broken | 17:00 |
| jkcso | Right. | 17:00 |
| daftykins | shal3r: reinstall them. | 17:00 |

| TJ- | jkcso: summary: 2 disks; sda with an UEFI install of 14.04 with FDE, and sdb with a legacy BIOS install of 12.04, I think. Currently booted from /dev/sdb with a legacy 'grub-pc' "grub-install" operation asking which device to write the MBR + core.img to... so we have been confirming what the correct selection should be there. | 17:02 |
| shal3r | i hope i will not break that box :) | 17:02 |
| jkcso | TJ-, gotcha. | 17:03 |
| daftykins | shal3r: yeah that's too much, you can see recently downloaded packages within /var/cache/apt/archives/ so you can grab names from there | 17:03 |
| TJ- | jkcso: see also http://paste.ubuntu.com/8027499/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/8028029/ | 17:03 |

| shal3r | daftykins, ok, thanks | 17:04 |

| awc | daftykins, thanks lol | 17:40 |
| marvin-hh | rww: allow me to be more precise; you did not fix a problem which has existed for close to two years. | 17:40 |
| awc | yeah it's all good. thanks man! | 17:40 |
| rww | marvin-hh: Okay. Which problem is that? | 17:41 |
| daftykins | awc: no worries :) there's definitely something odd about running a dist-upgrade and still not having the latest kernel but i have no idea how to troubleshoot that one :S anywho enjoy! | 17:41 |
| rww | bonus points if it has a bug number | 17:41 |
| marvin-hh | rww: an unicode encoding error in the upgrade process. | 17:41 |
| marvin-hh | rww: if there is some file containing non-ASCII characters some upgrade process fails. | 17:41 |
| jkcso | marvin-hh, odd statement, the whole "doesn't work" thing. Worked fine for me on the several dozen workstations I've performed that upgrade on. | 17:41 |
| awc | daftykins, thanks! I was about to ask, but I'll poke around and see what I can learn online | 17:41 |
| marvin-hh | rww: there are many, many, many other issues with the upgrade. | 17:41 |
| csst0111 | eeee_, pull works! But I can't push from server to local :/ | 17:41 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: you probably have users that don't ever change any piece of configuration. | 17:42 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: nor install a lot of packages. | 17:42 |
| csst0111 | hmmm.. let me check it once more | 17:42 |
| jkcso | marvin-hh, odd assumption, and an incorrect one. But cheers, and I'm sorry you're having an issue. | 17:42 |
| rww | marvin-hh: are you talking about bug 1309447 ? | 17:42 |

| === Granis` is now known as Granis | ||
| marvin-hh | jkcso: additionally, why don't you comprehend that just because it works fine for you, it doesn't mean that it works everywhere and for all configurations? | 17:43 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: I can point at 20 people who have the same problem as I do. | 17:43 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: am I imagining things then? | 17:43 |
| marvin-hh | rww: yes | 17:43 |
| eeee_ | csst0111: sorry, rather user@local (instead of admin@css) | 17:43 |
| jkcso | marvin-hh, inverse question: Why do you think that something is wholly broken when the vast majority have no issues just because you're the one having a problem? | 17:43 |
| csst0111 | eeee_, yeap that's my mistake I have to change to user@local | 17:43 |
| csst0111 | thanx for the help eeee_ daftykins :) | 17:43 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: the majority likely has trivial configurations. | 17:44 |
| eeee_ | csst0111: also, the file goes before the user@local:. | 17:44 |
| IotaSpencer | is there a package repo for sound and video applications, like video editing | 17:44 |
| jkcso | marvin-hh, I comprehend things just fine. You're the one who came in making sweeping statements, and are now getting whiny when I respond in kind. | 17:44 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: for example those containing only ASCII characters. | 17:44 |
| csst0111 | eeee_, noted! ;) | 17:44 |
| eeee_ | csst0111: np | 17:44 |
| marvin-hh | jkcso: if you comprehend that, why do you waste my time with your redundant opinions? | 17:44 |
| marvin-hh | rww: please explain to me why you haven't fixed that in the past two years. | 17:46 |
| marvin-hh | rww: just Google for the error message. | 17:46 |
| marvin-hh | rww: the *exact* same problem was also in a previous release. | 17:47 |
| marvin-hh | rww: if you still believe that you have a functioning release-engineering team, then I am not sure what's wrong with you. | 17:47 |
| DJones | marvin-hh: You do realise that rww isn't an Ubuntu developer | 17:47 |
| marvin-hh | DJones: do you think I care? | 17:48 |
| marvin-hh | DJones: he defends them. | 17:48 |
| rww | marvin-hh: That Launchpad bug I linked is from April. I'm trying to find one from two years ago. I'm also trying to find one that also mentions it breaks 12.04 -> 14.04 upgrades | 17:48 |
| rww | marvin-hh: In the meantime, this appears to be trivially fixable by removing non-UTF characters from sources.list, so until you or I find such a bug report, you could just do that. | 17:49 |
| marvin-hh | rww: sure "trivial". | 17:49 |
| daftykins | marvin-hh: you have a terrible attitude, perhaps you should change distro. | 17:49 |
| marvin-hh | rww: I actually looked for those characters (with a program of course). | 17:49 |

| beandog | marvin-hh: agreed, please stop trolling | 17:51 |
| marvin-hh | rww: no, it's not that I don't "like" Ubuntu QA; I merely qualify it as being non-functional. | 17:52 |

| jhattara | TJ-: any idea how, i have .ovpn files that i used in windows OpenVPN GUI to connect with up to 5 vpns at the same time | 18:19 |
| TJ- | krusic22: "12" is the partition number on the device /dev/sdX that the nb0 file is to be written to. It's up to you to replace "/dev/sdX12" with the correct device name (sdX) and partition number (12) for your device | 18:19 |

| LordSephiroth | Hello can anyone help me? i Got a Ubuntu Server with vsftp and want to add a user. i added the user with #adduser mike --home HOMEDIR --shell /bin/false | 19:11 |
| LordSephiroth | but if i go on the ftp server with this user it says login incorrect | 19:11 |
| drinkwater | lordsephiroth is gay? | 19:12 |
| OerHeks | LordSephiroth, you added an user to server, vsftp has an own user database | 19:12 |

| TandyUK | as in ubuntus amazing wisdom root doesnt have a password | 19:19 |

| LordSephiroth | yeah i know this problem - unfortunately i dont know how to fix it | 19:20 |
| marvin-hh | TandyUK: that's documented. | 19:20 |
| TandyUK | so apart from putting in a rescue disk, and hacking my own system to have a root password, | 19:21 |
| TandyUK | how do i regain access to my system? | 19:21 |
| rww | !password | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 19:21 |
| rww | instructions above will get you to a root shell. use root shell to fix your group membership | 19:22 |

| osutapu | so, internet SUDDENLY stopped working on ANY Linux, but it does work in Windows. I don't know why this happened, i had win 8 installed, thought maybe it's the problem (i use dualboot), uninstalled it and installed win7 - same results. Internet does not work on both LiveCD and installed system. A month b4 it everything was ok. Now every time linux distro boots up LAN light on modem disappears. | 19:43 |
| testerr | Hello, all -- I'm trying to get Owncloud 7 to install using the repos on Ubuntu 14.04 Server. I've added the Owncloud community repo with 'sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/xUbuntu_14.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list"' When I install 'owncloud', though, it installs v6 (which is the latest in the Ubuntu repos, but not the latest in the Owncloud community repo), and I have to then do | 19:43 |
| testerr | 'apt-get update; apt-get install owncloud' again to get it to update (since it's listed as "held back" when doing 'apt-get upgrade'). Is there a way to tell apt-get to use the community repo as the primary source for the Owncloud package(s)? | 19:43 |
| osutapu | and i'm kinda noob in linux, there's that | 19:43 |
| Beldar | osutapu, Key here are details and hardware info. | 19:44 |
| Pici | testerr: If it is being held back, that means that it wants to bring in other dependencies, which means that you need to use the apt-get dist-upgrade command. | 19:44 |
| jhattara | ok, found out how i can open multiple openvpn connections simultaneously, i just need to run 'openvpn --config config.ovpn' for each connection separately, now i just need answers to two questions (1) how can i run the process while detaching it from terminal (2) how can i later send SIGTERM to that detached process ? | 19:44 |
| Pici | testerr: also, Ubuntu will always use the version with the highest version number, so typically community repositories that provide newer packages are sourced from first. | 19:45 |
| testerr | Pici: Is there a less all-encompassing way, if I don't want to actually upgrade the distro. itself? | 19:45 |
| Blenda | osutapu : turn the Airplane mode off (kiddin though maybe...) | 19:45 |
| Pici | testerr: thats not what that command does. | 19:45 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | testerr | 19:45 |
| ubottu | testerr: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 19:45 |
| Beldar | osutapu, This a usb modem? if so identify what it's called by running lsusb in the terminal. | 19:45 |
| testerr | Pici: Oh, I understood that incorrectly. Thank you! | 19:46 |
| testerr | Pici: Is there a reason why, if the community repo. does have a newer version, it wouldn't immediately install that newest version, and would go with the lower version from the Ubuntu repo. instead? | 19:47 |
| Pici | testerr: No, unless it fit the aformentioned scenario with the pulling in of more dependencies. | 19:48 |
| osutapu | well, basically it's all i know. i can give you results of some commands in terminal. And no, it's simple modem, TP-LINK td-8816 i guess. internet was working ok on linux like a month ago, and now it does not work on any linux distro, even fedora, and it does not matter if it's LiveCD mode or installed system. | 19:48 |
| jhattara | if i want to run a process completely detached from the terminal the correct syntax is 'nohup process &' ? | 19:49 |
| testerr | Pici: Thanks for your help! | 19:49 |
| testerr | I'll keep looking into this | 19:49 |
| Beldar | osutapu, Note we preface posts to others with their nick. Have you tried resetting the modem? | 19:50 |
| osutapu | Beldar: Yeah, nothing. Also i tried to reset Bios. Again, no results. | 19:50 |
| Blenda | cables? | 19:51 |
| frenda | transmission is connected to peers out of schedule times! Is this a bug? | 19:51 |
| frenda | I mean, when I tell it to download from 1:00 to 7:00, it also try to be connected to peers out of this range though hopefully it does not download, but, being connect to peers = losing bandwidth | 19:51 |
| Beldar | osutapu, Your on board hardware is pertinent, lspci in the terminal should identify it, post just the lan and wifi info. | 19:52 |
| trijntje | frenda: does it connect at 8:00 or at 0:59? Remote peers might not close a connection right away, even if there is no downloading | 19:52 |
| ssarah | hei guys | 19:53 |
| ssarah | what does 'sudo passwd' do? | 19:53 |
| frenda | trijntje: If I restart it at 11:00 which is out of schedule, it just connects to peer (however it does not download). | 19:54 |
| trijntje | ssarah: it runs the command passwd as administrator | 19:54 |
| testerr | ssarah: I think that it prompts you to change the password for the root user. | 19:54 |
| rww | yep | 19:55 |
| trijntje | frenda: does it connect to peers or to trackers? | 19:55 |
| rww | and thus falls under the purview of | 19:55 |
| rww | !noroot | 19:55 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 19:55 |
| Luyin | !wfm | 19:55 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 19:55 |
| testerr | Now I'm curious: !root | 19:55 |
| testerr | !root | 19:55 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:55 |

| thecodethinker | Hey guys, How do i get to the grub kernel selection screen at boot? Is it holding R-Shift or did they change it? | 19:57 |
| xcyclist | And you can always set sudo to allow access without passwords if you really want to go nuts. I recommend that only on a vbox or equivalent, however. | 19:57 |
| trijntje | thecodethinker: shift should do the trick, not sure if its left/right or both | 19:58 |
| frenda | trijntje: Peers: http://i.imgur.com/fB85GZA.png AND Trackers: http://i.imgur.com/CguJqlT.png | 19:58 |

| thecodethinker | trijntje: and the new kernel I installed broke my trackpad's driver :'( | 19:58 |
| thecodethinker | trijntje: I'll try holding both | 19:59 |
| trijntje | frenda: I thinks thats correct, its connecting to peers but not downloading. Keeping a connection open won't use a lot of bandwith | 19:59 |
| Beldar | osutapu, These are problematic at best. 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) | 20:00 |
| thecodethinker | no dice :( | 20:00 |
| osutapu | Beldar, but month ago it was just perfect. I don't get it :c | 20:00 |

| Ben64 | jackarius86: give hardware details | 21:01 |

| sydney | tekk:because your using usb 2.0 ports? | 21:09 |
| Ben64 | jackarius86: it seems like that card isn't supported by the latest binary drivers anymore | 21:10 |
| tekk | sydney, i don’t even have usb 2.0 ports | 21:10 |

| sydney | What do you have then? | 21:10 |

| lblume | Hello | 21:12 |
| sydney | tekk: it could be a driver incompatability. | 21:12 |
| tekk | true | 21:13 |
| tekk | i wonder if there are any “restricted” / closed drivers available | 21:13 |
| TandyUK | one for the devs: it would be nice during setup if there was a way to choose my dm, like there is in like every other distro | 21:13 |
| tekk | the update manager in the ubuntu gui automatically checks restricted repo’s etc and lets you switch…. how can one do that on ubuntu-server? | 21:13 |
| tekk | i.e. check if you have a better driver available on one of the restricted/multiverse repo’s without enabling them | 21:14 |
| lblume | My ubuntu 14.04 unity session is locked, and it's refusing to unlock (the password is good, just nothing happens). I can ssh in, but I just can't find which process to kill to unlock it. Any idea? | 21:14 |
| sydney | tekk:they would be listed in the 'additional drivers' program. | 21:14 |
| tekk | right, does that have a cli equivelant | 21:14 |
| tekk | i’m not running X | 21:14 |
| tekk | jockey-text | 21:14 |

| pwuertz | k1l: "libgl1-mesa-dev" from the "mesa" source package installs a "libGL.so" symlink that overrides libGL on Nvidia systems | 21:41 |

| k1l | Psil0Cybin: what did you do before that happend? what kind of setup? what error? | 21:46 |
| xNine | the heck? how did it get disabled in BIOS? if that fixed it I'm going to be pissed... | 21:46 |
| kostkon | xNine, heh | 21:46 |
| Psil0Cybin | i removed ubuntu-desktop and made sure xubuntu-desktop stayed | 21:46 |
| Psil0Cybin | i notice it must have messed up something | 21:47 |
| Psil0Cybin | so im down in the root shell, trying to figure out if i can configure it to boot with xubuntu-desktop | 21:47 |
| Psil0Cybin | or what package i would reinstall | 21:47 |
| pwuertz | k1l: Bug filing doesn't work for me, there was no reaction concerning that bug report for 2 years. I found the reason now and I'd like to do something about it. | 21:47 |

| Psil0Cybin | ? and then install sorry last time with the enter, just a habbit when stressed. | 21:48 |
| k1l | pwuertz: bug filing is the usual way of acting in that case. the maintainers get contacted through the packages involved | 21:48 |

| kostkon | xNine, np :) | 21:49 |
| pwuertz | k1l: Right, I did that.. nothing happened.. what is plan B in this case? | 21:50 |
| k1l | if there was no solution back than what do you expect now to happen magically? do it now with the solution | 21:51 |
| bencc | is there a way to know if an installed package was installed as a dependency? | 21:53 |
| OerHeks | bencc apt-cache rdepends <package> should do what you want | 21:54 |
| pwuertz | k1l: Well, I expected that during that time someone would have commented on that bug report. Maybe asking me to check something, maybe asking for other details that could help narrowing the problem down. Maybe commenting on some hints I dropped in between. | 21:54 |
| pwuertz | k1l: All that didn't happen. So I don't expect someone to magically appear now that I posted another comment that happens to include a solution. | 21:55 |
| jhattara | if it | 21:55 |
| k1l | pwuertz: as i said: that is the usual way. and since its searchable thourh launchpad and goole it helps other people to find the solution. | 21:56 |
| * k1l cant type anymore :/ | 21:56 | |

| OerHeks | Psil0Cybin, reinstalling xubuntu-desktop should do the trick | 21:58 |
| Psil0Cybin | OerHeks, i typed sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 21:59 |
| OerHeks | that should be correct | 21:59 |
| bencc | OerHeks: thanks. your code gives me all options while this semss to give me exactly the reason: aptitude why apache2 | 21:59 |
| Psil0Cybin | i know and irebooted after and it says LightDM Failed, but i know its because I removed ubuntu-desktop | 21:59 |
| bencc | OerHeks: and now I see why apache2 got installed. thanks | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | bencc, have fun | 22:00 |
| dm7freek | nvm i got it | 22:01 |
| Psil0Cybin | hmm OerHeks still did it again, same problem lightdm fails to boot i even tried typing sudo update-rc.d lightdm defaults | 22:01 |

| thinknow | i dont have any dvd's, just many cd's | 22:03 |
| xangua | !minimal | thinknow | 22:04 |
| ubottu | thinknow: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:04 |
| TandyUK | download the netinstall image? | 22:04 |
| bencc | thinknow: I think there is online-install version | 22:04 |
| thinknow | before i could split it to different cd's, but cant find out if that is possible anymore, and if, how? | 22:04 |
| solarfly | holy cow. my libapt-pkg4.12 library went corrupt and broke all the apt tools. Thank god wget and dpkg were working. Makes me worry about the integrity of everything else though | 22:04 |

| bencc | thinknow: you can also use usb but the minimial xangua linked to is nice | 22:04 |
| TandyUK | yeah the desktop iso + a usb key + YUMI works well | 22:04 |
| thinknow | k1l, i dont get access to super user, so i cant add usb as boot option | 22:04 |
| TandyUK | i just installed 3 machines using exactly that method | 22:04 |
| === ahde is now known as HD | ||
| k1l | thinknow: you cant change to boot from usb? are you even allowed to install then? | 22:05 |
| TandyUK | why would "dont get access to super user" have *any* effect on you doing a clean install?? | 22:05 |
| TandyUK | you do a clean install, you ARE the super user | 22:06 |
| solarfly | ...unless there's a BIOS password | 22:06 |

| Psil0Cybin | OerHeks, i found that a file called /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf had Ubuntu Unity stuff left over | 22:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | for user session what would i place xubuntu and for greeter-session it says unity-greeter | 22:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | user session says ubuntu and greeter-session is unity greeter, what would be the content of a xubuntu lightdm conf file | 22:07 |
| solarfly | TandyUK at some enterprise companies there's mechanisms that make breaking into the bios extremely difficult without ruining the system. Encryption, smartcards, etc. Sometimes, it's way more trouble to bypass IT. If you can't enable USB for booting (or it's disabled), you probably work somewhere where you shouldn't be reinstalling anyway | 22:08 |
| kuta | hello everyone, could anyone help me with this please: I'd like to download some links on a page selectively (link pages from a table of contents)..can I use the command line to do so? | 22:08 |
| solarfly | kuta, can you cut and paste the URL and use wget or curl ? | 22:09 |
| cynicallemon | kuta: you can extract links on a page using lynx | 22:10 |
| Psil0Cybin | got it OerHeks | 22:10 |

| kuta | solarfly, do you mean this command: wget -r -A pdf -nc -np http://thesite.com ? I used it once, but I dont want every link on the page to be downloaded, i.e. without the standard links on the site navigation. | 22:11 |
| solarfly | kuta: that's the right idea, except specify the full URL to the thing you want and it will download just that thing | 22:12 |
| solarfly | If you want to see just the text to your terminal, use curl | 22:12 |
| solarfly | If you need to programatically parse a web page and extract the links, that's a different story - then use lynx to do that first, then wget to grab what you want | 22:13 |
| cynicallemon | also if u know python then beautiful soup is very handy for handling urls on a web page | 22:15 |
| solarfly | kuta: this isn't ubuntu specific, mind you. There's also a handy ##linux channel | 22:15 |

| dodo3773 | hey. got an old macbook and figured I'd install ubuntu on it for ease of use. anything special I need to do during the install phase. | 22:17 |
| solarfly | dodo3773 I went with a different bootloader... that rocks for running linux. What's this thing called... | 22:18 |
| solarfly | dodo3773: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ | 22:19 |
| solarfly | This was so incredibly painless to install on my mac | 22:19 |
| dodo3773 | solarfly: will it load without it from the included installer? | 22:19 |
| disf_ | how i can connect 2 laptops?? | 22:20 |
| solarfly | dodo3773 I suspect you will still need a boot manager like bootcamp (or rEFInd) for the mac. GRUB is only a boot loader. | 22:21 |
| solarfly | Might not be a bad idea to keep your mac OS around on a little partition anyway, just in case Steve Jobs springs back to life and offers you some life changing patch | 22:21 |
| dodo3773 | solarfly: there is no mac os | 22:22 |
| solarfly | ah. | 22:22 |
| dodo3773 | solarfly: the hard drive was shot that's why I got it for free | 22:22 |
| solarfly | Might as well just try it and see if it works, you literally have nothing to lose | 22:23 |
| mamece2 | hi, its me again. i have a problem updating | 22:24 |
| ObrienDave | disf_, with an ethernet crossover cable | 22:24 |
| kuta | solarfly, yes, you're right about linux. but ubuntu command line uses linux commands, so it can still help people see answers to my question | 22:24 |
| kuta | may I go on? | 22:24 |
| webnet | anyh reason uninstaling libreoffic, gwiber, empathy, thuinderbird, and a handful of other apps would uninstall ubuntu-desktop? ive been having an issue with this. rebooting brings me to "failed to load session 'ubuntu'". switching to another tty and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop reinstalls all the programs i was trying to get rid of. | 22:25 |
| mamece2 | can anyone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8030468/ | 22:25 |
| disf_ | ObrienDave: i want to connect from far.. i think i need a vpn | 22:25 |
| ObrienDave | oh | 22:25 |
| === comp is now known as computerxpds | ||
| kuta | the problem with the command is that there is a pdf in there, and I dont know what to replace it with. the download content is the text on the URL page, so I tried html, but the output is an empty folder | 22:26 |
| cynicallemon | webnet: have you tried uninstalling those packages one at a time? | 22:26 |
| Zutara | Hi. I'm trying to mount an ipod nano (2nd Gen) but 12.04 doesn't report anything to dmesg when I plug the iPod in. | 22:26 |
| Zutara | Anyone have success with mounting 2nd Generation Nanos? | 22:27 |
| cynicallemon | webnet: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package so may uninstall additional components which ubuntu needs | 22:27 |
| mamece2 | hi. i have a problem updating | 22:27 |
| webnet | yes actually. i thought perhaps narrowing it down to one causing an issue would find it but not so. any of the packages installed out of the box seems to have this effect. | 22:27 |
| cynicallemon | webnet: never tried it of late but those core apps are pretty much tied to core ubuntu stuff | 22:29 |
| webnet | im trying to remove all ubuntu games, shotwell, libreoffice* , empathy, thunderbird, gwibber, transmission, brasero, rhythmbox, and gimp. removing any of these seems to break it, | 22:30 |
| solarfly | webnet I scrapped unity completely, compiled enlightenment (e18) and terminology and moved on with my life. Things are so bundled in ubuntu | 22:30 |
| cynicallemon | webnet: yeah its probably unity tying into them | 22:30 |
| === moro is now known as moromoro | ||
| solarfly | webnet: did you try dpkg -r instead of apt-get ? | 22:31 |
| webnet | see im not using unity at all though. unity unity-asset-pool unity-lens-applications unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-video unity-scope-musicstores unity-scope-video-remote have all been removed | 22:31 |
| Jeffrey_f | So, a few weeks ago, my new drive took a dump and is currently being warranty-replaced. In the interim, I reinstalled on to my original drive.......I don't want to go through another install.. Is is possible to MOVE my system to another drive? Currently installed drive is encrypted. | 22:31 |
| webnet | and they dont cause an issue and are not reinstalled with ubuntu-desktop | 22:32 |
| webnet | its only when i start removing apps that things get wonky | 22:32 |
| solarfly | webnet the real question you need to ask is what you're after. If you don't want unity, you might just want to remove all of that and put another desktop manager in place. Actually, you can keep it on the system and experiment with other desktops until you find something you like | 22:33 |
| cynicallemon | solarfly: Gnome 3 seems a good option after Unity but that has its issues too... | 22:34 |
| === Deihmos_ is now known as Deihmos | ||
| solarfly | cynicallemon personally, I want a desktop that's really out of my way. I run xchat, hipchat, chrome and terminology. That's it, so enlightenment is perfect | 22:35 |

| === Nusquam_ is now known as Aerides | ||
| webnet | solarfly, ive rmoved all unity packages and am using AWN with cardapio menu | 22:39 |
| tommyfun | Psil0Cybin: it used to be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 22:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | i found /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-guest-wrapper.conf | 22:41 |
| === Rallias is now known as hypernet | ||
| Psil0Cybin | but how do i disable the guest login :P haha so new | 22:41 |
| tommyfun | you need to add some lines | 22:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | i tried putting allow-guest=false there | 22:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | i was thinking of removing the file all together but that may cause problems | 22:41 |
| tommyfun | allow-guest=false | 22:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | i did that no go | 22:41 |
| webnet | Psil0Cybin, reboot changes wont reflect until you reboot the system | 22:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | but it seems to have /usr/lib/lightdm/liguhtdm-guest-session | 22:41 |
| cynicallemon | solarfly: i use xfce and this stays well out the way | 22:42 |
| tommyfun | are you on 14.04? | 22:42 |
| anew | ~/.vnc/xstartup | 22:42 |
| anew | i'm trying to find this dir | 22:42 |
| anew | but it's not there ? | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Zutara: probably needs the USB Mass Storage driver loading. "sudo modprobe usb-storage" | 22:42 |
| webnet | anew, enable hidden hile viewing | 22:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | restarting now | 22:43 |
| webnet | anew, ctrl+H on most file managers | 22:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i do not think that will do anything | 22:43 |
| anew | in cli ? | 22:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | i think there is a file i am missing with a guest variable, perhaps | 22:43 |
| Geo | I have eth0 (192.168.0.1) and eth1 (192.168.1.1) NICs. running ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1 and tcpdump -i eth1, I see the ping requests get to eth1, but there are no ping replies generated. What could be the cause? | 22:43 |
| webnet | anew, in cli do ls -a | 22:43 |
| Zutara | TJ, "mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist" | 22:43 |
| cynicallemon | Geo: firewall? | 22:43 |
| anew | cd /.vnc | 22:43 |
| anew | how do i cd into a hidden dir ? | 22:44 |
| webnet | or you can actually just cd into that directory cd ~/.vnc/xstartup | 22:44 |
| TJ- | Zutara: what is /dev/sdc2 ? | 22:44 |
| anew | yeah i tried that it said it didnt exist | 22:44 |
| Geo | cynicallemon: none. | 22:44 |
| Geo | its the same machine | 22:44 |
| Zutara | It's still not showing up in dmesg. /dev/sdc2 is what a lot of tutorials on ubuntu forums say to do. | 22:44 |
| webnet | anew, then try cd ~/.vnc/ and do an ls | 22:44 |
| Geo | I'm thinking the kernel is doing something since its all local, perhaps? | 22:44 |
| gr33n7007h | anew, cd .directory | 22:45 |
| anew | cool got it | 22:45 |
| anew | thx | 22:45 |
| PwrSurge | found the bug | 22:45 |
| PwrSurge | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1443930 | 22:45 |
| webnet | anew, glad its sorted! | 22:45 |
| TJ- | Zutara: No! /dev/sdc2 is specific to each system. On yours it will be different. If you've modprobe-d usb-storage, re-plug the device and watch kern.log for it with "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" | 22:45 |
| PwrSurge | it's my compiz that keeps crashing when resuming from suspend | 22:45 |
| PwrSurge | was not able to find ubuntu specific info but it impacts arch linux as well | 22:46 |
| PwrSurge | apparently, downgrading the kernel or the intel driver fixes it | 22:46 |
| Zutara | TJ-, nothing changes. | 22:46 |
| TJ- | Geo: It is not possible to route within the same kernel; in other words, what you are trying is not possible. | 22:47 |
| PwrSurge | at least on archlinux | 22:47 |
| === james is now known as Guest78815 | ||
| PwrSurge | tried downgrading the intel driver already and it does not work | 22:47 |
| PwrSurge | so will try downgrading the kernel | 22:47 |
| webnet | solarfly, if it were up to me id be flux or openbox with cli for most everything which is my personal system but this is one im building for someone. and ive built systems with this exact process before but forwhever reason something sees to have changed. | 22:47 |
| TandyUK | Zutara: cat /proc/partitions and look for the one which is the right size | 22:47 |
| TandyUK | Zutara: also being a usb device, there should only be 1 partition on it | 22:48 |
| cynicallemon | webnet: +1 for openbox | 22:48 |
| PwrSurge | WORKS! | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Zutara: Does the USB port work for other devices? Does the device work when connected to other PCs? | 22:48 |
| PwrSurge | my god | 22:48 |
| awatt | hi guys | 22:48 |
| webnet | cynicallemon, woo! | 22:48 |
| PwrSurge | downgrading the kernel that is | 22:48 |
| awatt | what is the best tool to recover from scratched audio cds? | 22:49 |
| PwrSurge | kind of strange that it would work | 22:49 |
| webnet | ill be back trying something here. | 22:49 |
| jorge | what happened to ifconfig? | 22:50 |
| intrader | Anyone,After update to 14.04.1, I am unable to enable flash for chrome. Flash for firefox seems Ok. | 22:50 |
| TandyUK | awatt: a nzb or torrent client, a search engine and a 320kbps download of it? not sure there is a good software tool to recover scratched cds - thats basically a hardware fault | 22:50 |
| Zutara | TJ-, The USB port is in working order. The device works fine on other PC's. The output of cat /proc/partitions lists 7 partitions, but I don't know which one is the 4GB iPod. | 22:50 |
| TandyUK | and dont trust the "scratch doctor" or other similar products, they will just fuck your disk up even worse | 22:50 |
| boccobrock | intrader: chrome or chromium? | 22:51 |
| TJ- | awatt: try polishing the CD with toothpaste, wash and dry thoroughly | 22:51 |
| ldiamond | I want to record all audio (input and output) on my PC (for recording a hangout session). Anyone know how to T the audio signals and mix them? | 22:52 |
| awatt | TJ-: thank you | 22:52 |
| Geo | TJ-, I'm not trying to route within the kernal, I'm trying to get it OUT of the kernel | 22:52 |
| Geo | i want it all out | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Zutara: Try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/" or "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" for clues | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Geo: you ran the 'ping' from a different host ? | 22:53 |
| Geo | the kernel is already keeping it and not passing it to the NIC | 22:53 |
| mus | hello. can someone please help me? everytime i click on "trash" in thunar it suddenly closes. what should i do? | 22:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | gah lol i keep noticing these bugs, when i go to settings and click About me, it does not open so i can not change my picture for my logo when I sign in :P Lol | 22:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | win some you lose some | 22:53 |
| Geo | no, the same host, from one NIC to another | 22:53 |
| TJ- | Geo: I repeat: It is not possible to route within the same kernel; in other words, what you are trying is not possible. | 22:53 |
| Geo | what part of what I'm saying is routing? | 22:53 |
| Geo | I want traffic to go out to a switch | 22:53 |
| Zutara | TJ-, The "by-id" command doesn't list the iPod. | 22:54 |
| Geo | even if the dst is on the same machine | 22:54 |
| Geo | the kernel is already determining that the dst IP is local and shouldnt go to the NIC | 22:54 |
| Zutara | Also the "by-label" command only lists my Laptop's HD | 22:54 |
| Geo | i want that to not happen, which I would classify as 'not route' | 22:55 |
| TJ- | Geo: As far as the kernel is concerned, there are *no* NICs... once packets arrive in the network layer, thats it. It doesn't matter which doorway (interface) they came in on, nor which they are destined for. If both interfaces belong to the same kernel then thats it. Routing only operates externally between logically separate hosts | 22:55 |
| TJ- | Geo: If you were to do "ping -I eth0 192.168.1.100" so the packet *leaves* the host, you'll see it on tcpdump | 22:56 |
| intrader | boccobrock, chromium - sorry | 22:57 |
| TJ- | Zutara: looks like the device isn't being recognised then - have you tried different USB ports on the PC? | 22:57 |
| Zutara | I've tried the other one but it doesn't work. | 22:57 |
| Geo | ... right. And I do. I dont see a reply being generated from that interface | 22:57 |
| Zutara | There's only 2 on this laptop | 22:57 |
| boccobrock | intrader: chromium dropped support for npapi flash, you will need to install pepper flash for chromium. or use chrome | 22:58 |
| Geo | my assumption is that because even though I forced it out, when it gets it, it shunts it back via the kernel as a reply | 22:58 |
| andrej | is there a clean/easy way to make it so system accounts have the same numeric uid on all systems? as it stands it appears that system accounts (e.g. www-data or nagios) have random uid's based on the order in which packages get installed | 22:58 |

| boccobrock | intrader: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/install-pepper-flash-chromium-ubuntu-14-04 | 22:59 |
| TJ- | Geo: think of it this way... the kernel is told to send a packet from itself (using the source IP belonging to eth0) and send it to the host which answers to 192.168.1.1... it looks at the routing table and realises it *is* the host that owns 192.168.1.1 ... it can't route the packet out and back in again because it doesn't have loopback interfaces | 23:00 |
| mikeg3 | Hi I would like to reinstall Ubuntu…but the installer does not "see" the HDD I want to use. The HDD is connected to a Adaptec 1220SA Raid controller, but in JBOD mode. Any ideas to help troubleshoot? Thanks. | 23:01 |
| TJ- | Zutara: You sure you've not connected the iPod using a charging-only cable? | 23:02 |
| Geo | TJ-: that part makes sense | 23:03 |
| Zutara | If that's the case.... Ah well. Thank your for your suggestions TJ. :) | 23:03 |
| Zutara | *you | 23:03 |
| Geo | however, im looking at the local routing table now | 23:03 |
| Geo | that seems to be where that function is vontrolled? | 23:04 |
| TJ- | Geo: You can only do internal routes using the 'lo' interface, e.g. this will work: "ping -c 2 -n -I lo 192.168.1.1" | 23:08 |

| _unreal_ | how would I open a ternal window? I only got on here becuase you can click on a hyper link in that little scrolling winow thing as the install goes along | 23:44 |
| Beldar | NoCoins, Try checking the general download on the web, and you can change the repo. | 23:45 |
| NoCoins | Beldar, I mean the actual VM is updating so slowly. E.g. I click the launcher and it takes 5-6 seconds to just show the search bar. | 23:46 |
| NoCoins | I swear lol, I've seen like every shade of wine, or whatever color the fade away is | 23:47 |
| Loshki | _unreal_: I usually run the live dvd and then run install from there. That way, you have a (mostly) functional machine during (most of) the install. You also get to check out if everything works before you commit... | 23:47 |
| Beldar | NoCoins, Still checking the general download is relevant, you router might need a restart, oracle severs may be slow right now as well. | 23:47 |
| NoCoins | It's local :) | 23:48 |
| _unreal_ | Loshki: thats what I'm on now | 23:48 |

| Beldar | NoCoins, Does it have enough memory allocated and graphic allotment? | 23:49 |
| Loshki | _unreal_: well on my system, it's under applications -> system tools -> xterm. If you're running Unity I've no idea, sorry... | 23:50 |

| _unreal_ | hum | 23:50 |
| Loshki | NoCoins: don't panic. It will stop (eventually)... | 23:50 |
| _unreal_ | tried ctrl+alt+t first thing | 23:50 |
| _unreal_ | when you start the install the menu goes away | 23:51 |
| _unreal_ | so starting programs is no longer an otpion to my knowlagdge | 23:51 |
| Loshki | _unreal_: try ctrl-alt-f2 and see if you get a login screen. I dunno if this works during install. It's been a while... | 23:51 |

| _unreal_ | ctrf6 and f7 | 23:53 |
| _unreal_ | lots of stuf running | 23:53 |
