=== zopsi is now known as notzopsi [00:01] <_unreal_> ok so plugininstall.p is running and using a lot like 6% cpu [00:04] _unreal_: 6% doesn't sound like a program gone mad. 96% would be more like it. Also, something called plugininstall to be running sounds kinda reasonable for an installation script. What about df -h. Is your disk being prepped and is the disk size slowly increasing? [00:05] Hey guys on 14.04 my computer hibernates or goes to sleep when ever i close the lid regardless of power settings, where is the manual file to edit what it does when my laptop is closed? Perhaps I can do it manually? [00:05] pre [00:05] I am using xfce. [00:05] i have to peek,real, whats i am using [00:06] i did, LXDE and GNOME2 [00:06] oeps..and touch ofcourse [00:07] Psil0Cybin: I don't know the first thing about hibernation. Have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate ? [00:07] _unreal_: Loshki I wonder if that plugininstall could be looping, waiting for a download. _unreal ... does the Installer have a network connection? [00:08] noud_is_nol, gnome2 is dead [00:08] i very know, have port GNOME3 [00:08] (for a certain Unix-that-has-no-udev) [00:09] TJ-: _unreal_: I wondered that too. I think it depends on the options you select during early install. [00:09] <_unreal_> Loshki: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140893 [00:10] am just thinking in code [00:10] not do..think ;) [00:10] bad joke [00:10] <_unreal_> pkill -9 modprobe got it going [00:10] Loshki: I had a few test installs in VMs hang because I disabled downloading updates... never figured out why at the time though, just redid them, but it bugged me alot [00:10] _unreal_: well done. Wish we'd found that 10 minutes ago :-) [00:10] damit, i just failed to sneek into ##Unix using irc.ubuntu.com .. damit [00:11] pls tell 88 [00:11] 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? It says that it cannot access the directory because of an I/O error. [00:11] not [00:11] <_unreal_> install hangs at "configuring bcmwl-kernel-source" looks like its a network hanging issue [00:11] _unreal_: that sound like it is installing additional drivers .... I wonder if there is anything in /var/log/kern.log telling us which module had the problem? [00:11] _unreal_: Ahhh... you answered that one! [00:12] TJ-: yeah, but *you* called it first... [00:12] Loshki: nah, _unreal told us ages ago if we'd read enough into it: "configuring bcmwl-kenel-source (amd64) my install has been sitting on this ..." [00:12] SecretFire: bad news. What kind of filesystem is on that disk? [00:12] <_unreal_> tj how do I past in console? [00:12] <_unreal_> paste [00:12] ext4 [00:13] real bad news it is [00:13] _unreal_: You mean send output to a pastebin? [00:13] <_unreal_> no [00:13] <_unreal_> past and in ctrl+v [00:13] TJ-: hindsight is 20/20 as they say... [00:13] <_unreal_> ctrl+alt+v isnt doing it [00:13] <_unreal_> paste as in [00:13] SecretFire: and the exact chown command you used, for completeness... [00:13] _unreal_: You can't, not in VY, not without 'screen' and some utility to transfer screen's copy-buffer to the X server clipboard [00:14] <_unreal_> crap [00:14] s/VY/VT/ [00:14] Loshki : sudo chown -R secret-fire /bla/bla [00:16] <_unreal_> ok tj how could I paste bin my kernel.log file? [00:16] <_unreal_> my options are kind of limited while I'm doing the install [00:17] _unreal_: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/kern.log" [00:17] SecretFire: the hyphen in "secret-fire" bothers me, but shouldn't cause an i/o error. Your data is at risk!!! Before we go any further, Is there anything on this disk you cannot live without? [00:17] <_unreal_> cant apt-get i'm currently installing ubuntu [00:17] <_unreal_> remember :) [00:18] Loshki : not really its replacabe [00:18] _unreal_: apt-get should still work if you can get a terminal [00:18] _unreal_: Oh, you're in the debian installer... hmmm, ok, first, check this directory exists: "ls -al /target/tmp/" [00:18] <_unreal_> I tried and it failed, stating no lock and in use [00:19] _unreal_: If so, do "cp /var/log/kern.log /target/var/log/kern-installer-bcm-failure.log" [00:19] SecretFire: ok, you need to unmount the disk, and run fsck on the partition [00:19] _unreal_: Then, once the installation is over and the system reboots, you can grab that file from /var/log/ [00:19] <_unreal_> ohhhh install complete [00:19] ok [00:20] _unreal_: bear in mind this won't be the last bug you encounter in 14.04... [00:20] SecretFire: the fsck is running? [00:21] <_unreal_> installed one second [00:22] Loshki : the command is? [00:24] <_unreal_> tj got it http://paste.ubuntu.com/8031239/ [00:25] Loshki : im not sure how to do the command when its not mounted [00:28] SecretFire: you need the partition name, it'll probably be /dev/sd. Look through /etc/fstab and see if it's there... [00:29] _unreal_: thanks [00:29] SecretFire: if you want, you can pastebin the file so we can see it... [00:29] ok [00:29] <_unreal_> I'll be back its begging me to reboot [00:30] Is there a tool that lists/prints out directories and files like a tree on in the terminal? [00:30] K350: ls -R ? [00:30] Loshki : its /dev/sdc1 [00:31] !info tree [00:31] tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.0-1 (trusty), package size 35 kB, installed size 109 kB [00:31] _unreal_: You should report that as a bug against the 'linux' package, describe that it was installer run directly from the live ISO, and it failed during installation of the BCM wl driver, and attach that kern.log file to the report. [00:31] _unreal_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [00:31] SecretFire: excellent. Ok, next step is sudo fsck -p /dev/sdc1. Depending on its size, this could take a long time. [00:33] _unreal_: TJ-: I love a happy ending... [00:33] Loshki : http://pastebin.com/F3D985Rh [00:33] ?? [00:33] SecretFire: Did you unmount it first? sudo umount /dev/sdc1 [00:34] _unreal_: Let me know the bug report number here, and I'll assign myself to it and investigate [00:34] Ugh guys, wht is going on with 14.04...when i access a SSH Shell, It asks me for my password in a GUI, instead of the terminal like 12.04, how can I have it ask me for the password in terminal and constantly ask me every time [00:35] so someone cannot use my computer to get into the shell when i am unattended [00:35] Loshki :http://pastebin.com/iKtdUkMp [00:36] Anyone know why the SSH key passphrase screen is via a GUI instead of terminal on Ubuntu 14.04? [00:37] SecretFire: ok, back to basics. Please run & pastebin the results of: 1) mount (no arguments), 2) df -h 3) fdisk -l 4) /etc/fstab [00:37] How can i make it ask me via terminal, and ask me every time I try to SSH into that computer? [00:38] Psil0Cybin: not running 14.04 myself, is there any mention of something in the ssh man page? What happens if DISPLAY isn't set? [00:38] Loshki : http://pastebin.com/cTmWh37E [00:38] okay [00:38] Psil0Cybin: You may have created a password for your keyring or something. [00:38] so type SSH help? Its wierd I never saw this GUI before, but its a default one.. [00:39] No it asks for my SSH passphrase [00:39] then keeps me logged in if i logout and try to access it again [00:39] so i do not type in my password again, but i want too for security reasons [00:39] Psil0Cybin: Then you probably have the Gnome keyring thing doing that with ssh-agent. [00:40] how can i get it to use xubuntu defaults [00:40] can i change how the ssh agent handles it? [00:40] I really want to be able to type it via the terminal like in 12.04 [00:40] :( [00:40] but I removed ubuntu-desktop...already [00:40] Psil0Cybin: Is gnome-keyring installed? [00:40] let me check [00:41] what is the command to do it without installing anything? [00:41] SecretFire: Please re-run & pastebin 3) sudo fdisk -l 4) cat /etc/fstab [00:48] with `iftop` how can I use an inverse filter? I want to NOT see traffic on port 1234 for example [00:48] if i remove gnome-keyring to get rid of the GUI? Will I lose all my Key information?! [00:49] I do not want to use the GUI and use the standard SSH way of entering my password, etc [00:49] so it does not keep me logged in or remember my SSH passphrases [00:50] got it, use 'not' (face-desk) [00:52] Psil0Cybin: You just need to stop the agent I think [00:52] Loshki : http://pastebin.com/xBbB5KEc [00:54] urda: "man iftop" - it uses the same filters as tcpdump, so "not ..." [00:56] TJ-, so u do not recommend to remove? [00:57] SecretFire: I was expecting to see mention of /dev/sdc1 which is the one you said you had the problem with. Can you confirm the device name? [00:59] Psil0Cybin: I'd disable the minimum required for what you need. In your case, it sounds like the GUI agent just needs disabling [01:01] Loshki : i had to mount it for it to show http://pastebin.com/P4dwpvWR [01:01] TJ-, how can I disable it? so I do not use the GUI? [01:02] SecretFire: And finally, please run: sudo blkid [01:03] http://pastebin.com/rQi34UZL [01:03] Loshki : http://pastebin.com/rQi34UZL === Coburn|2 is now known as Coburn [01:05] Psil0Cybin: It looks as if it is controlled via "/usr/share/upstart/sessions/ssh-agent.conf" [01:05] how do I install opal-dev from : “opal” 3.10.10~dfsg-2.1ubuntu3 source package in The Trusty Tahr [01:06] I am at : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/opal/3.10.10~dfsg-2.1ubuntu3 [01:06] TJ-, im looking @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655397 but its pretty confusing.. [01:06] im guessing their is no easy way to replace it with the default xubuntu method [01:06] ? [01:07] DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE [01:07] mnathani, how you tried downloading the package and running dpkg --install on it? [01:07] have* [01:07] SecretFire: Ah, I see now, /dev/sdc1 automounts to /media/secret-fire/8c51a03d-e51b-4391-bab9-90222b696438. I assume this is done by nautilus [01:08] Loshki : and what does that mean [01:08] DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE [01:08] DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE [01:08] DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE [01:08] no ty, leave now please. [01:08] \o/ [01:09] SecretFire: it means that its not enough to unmount the disk manually. The GUI also has a lock on it. Is there a "places" menu on your gui and does it mention /dev/sdc1 or /media/secret-fire/8c51a03d-e51b-4391-bab9-90222b696438 [01:09] Psil0Cybin: its outside my area of expertise [01:09] hi [01:09] Does anyone here have any experience with an alfa awus036h usb adapter? Or just getting an adapter with the rtl8187 chipset to work correctly? [01:10] Loshki : its in places [01:10] !realtek | fatlard3413 [01:10] fatlard3413: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [01:10] fatlard3413: most of it involves installing the 3.16 kernel i believe [01:10] Loshki : but i still get the IO error [01:10] Oh, wow thanks [01:10] Can I upgrade from 13.04 to 14.04? [01:11] Ill take a look [01:11] netlar, Through 13.10 yes. [01:11] netlar: not unless you update twice, it'd be easier to clean install [01:11] fatlard3413: err, I just read that page. Ignore it, it's 3 years old and probably very outdated [01:11] sorry for the useless link :) [01:11] Oh, okay. [01:12] daftykins: I just have lots of software that I have installed, was hoping to avoid installing all that again [01:12] The weird thing is, this is like an adapter that alot of people seem to like on linux, at least from my limited research [01:12] SecretFire: you need to remove it from places, if you can... [01:12] netlar: basically, either way... backup. likely if you try upgrading twice, things are gonna break. so YMMV [01:13] Could it be because I am connecting to a N access point? Which is not officially supported by the adapter? [01:13] daftykins: YMMV? [01:13] netlar: your mileage may vary [01:13] fatlard3413: one way to test that is using 802.11a, b or g :) [01:13] how do I list how many files checked out to be ok with md5sum? [01:13] I mean the number [01:13] hello everyone,I want to use Chinese input method in sudo application.How can I do? [01:14] daftykins: Can I restore the backup so that all the software is reinstalled with the backup? [01:14] netlar: depends how you backup :) [01:14] yeah, Im working on figuring out how to change my router to g,b etc [01:15] daftykins: Maybe all that is addressed in the installation notes for Ubunut [01:15] Loshki : how [01:16] netlar, If installs you can make a dpkg list and be sure to have any additional repos and keys saved and just install in the upgrade. [01:16] fatlard3413: thanks, trying that now. Its a dependency hell though. Was looking for a simple add repo and apt-get [01:17] netlar, AS well configs...ect [01:17] Beldar: Just was hoping to avoid some of that work [01:18] netlar, That is like 3 min work on each distro and the install time. [01:18] mor [01:18] netlar, do the upgrade then. what's the problem? [01:18] kostkon: No problem [01:18] !eolupgrades | netlar, here [01:19] netlar, here: 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 [01:19] netlar, Honestly you should have these skills, software and hardware can break at any time. [01:19] Beldar, yep [01:19] hello community! In 14.04. I migrated my keyrings to seahorse from 12.04. and they are shown with their old names, though I'd renamed them long ago. And i cannot rename by right click, because doing so gives only a tiny window with 'close' button. [01:20] ZuXun_Yang: Hi there. What do you mean you want to use it in a sudo application? [01:21] hey... the instructions I'm finding online seem to be out of date, how do I install the pepperflash plugin for chromium? [01:21] "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" isn't in the repo, or I'm missing something [01:22] i336_, Not sure your links but I added it to a 14.10 install hours ago. [01:22] huh. [01:23] for firefox [01:23] oh, I see [01:23] what was the package name? [01:23] E: Package 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate [01:24] i336_, webupd8 is the place not just a simple package and required I added pepper to FF's plugins [01:24] oh okay [01:24] i336_, what's your ubuntu version [01:24] Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS [01:24] rypervenche:I want to run a sudo application,such as sudo gedit,and I can use Chinese input method in a sudo gedit [01:25] ah, webupd8 is a whole repo :P I see... [01:25] i336_, it should be there http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/pepperflashplugin-nonfree make sure multiverse is enabled [01:25] ZuXun_Yang: Probably because of your variables. Which IME are you using? [01:26] <[Ex0r]> hmm, this isnt really related to ubuntu, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to host a domain somewhere, and point the mail server somewhere else, so mail forwarding and etc works? [01:26] rypervenche:fcitx [01:26] [Ex0r]: Yes, many domains do that [01:27] kostkon: thanks :D [01:27] pepperflashplugin-nonfree/trusty 1.3ubuntu1 amd64 [01:27] Pepper Flash Player - browser plugin [01:27] multiverse wasn't enabled >.> [01:27] i336_, :) [01:27] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- Do you know of a free service that I can use where I can just point the MX records to it, and setup the mail stuff ? [01:27] [Ex0r]: All it needs is the domain's MX records setting to point to the host that is authorised to handle the SMTP mail connections [01:27] i336_, YOu probably don't have the repo open it's in. [01:27] [Ex0r]: No [01:27] [Ex0r]: that is off-topic here [01:27] so question, i have Ubuntu Server 12.04 and i have TW Cable as ISP, i have a network "switch" hooked up to my TW Modem, I have 2 servers that are being assigned ip's through DHCP and the 3rd one is not being assigned, I have tried searching the arp to attempt to get another unused ip to statically assign to the server without luck, the range is 174.103.144.0/20 ... anyone have any suggestions [01:27] ? [01:27] Beldar: not sure... but it's installing right now... =P [01:27] s/installing/installed/ [01:28] fast, lol [01:28] [Ex0r]: Try Google etc, they provide 3rd party domain mail handling with gmail [01:28] <[Ex0r]> I seen google, and I was using it, but it handles it without MX control [01:28] <[Ex0r]> so the receiving user sees the gmail address, not the actual address it was sent from. I think I need to find a service that offers mail servers [01:28] [Ex0r]: Ask in ''networking" [01:28] ZuXun_Yang: Try typing this in your terminal before you run the sudo command: https://k.ryp.io/view/4fc7ca4e [01:29] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- thanks [01:29] [Ex0r]: Ask in ##networking === D is now known as Guest13607 [01:30] Hello [01:30] Where can I get the download link for Ubuntu Studio 11.04? I found one for 9.04 and then 12.10 upward, but none of the other releases. [01:30] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- I suppose I could have just asked how I could easily setup an STMP server on my ubuntu server that handles mail forwards [01:31] I guess maybe I should ask in #ubuntu-studio. [01:31] #Drlolbutonlyonweekends [01:32] Guest13607, please don't advertise other channels here [01:33] ima just spit out #'s allnight [01:34] #wtf ima wacth spideman neow [01:35] !ot | Guest13607 [01:35] Guest13607: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:35] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- i guess I will ask if its possible to setup SMTP server/sendmail to only handle forwarding [01:36] [Ex0r]: Postfix in "smarthost" mode, I'd guess is what you mean [01:36] <[Ex0r]> yeah postfix [01:36] <[Ex0r]> thats what i tried installing on the server before and it didnt work out right [01:38] [Ex0r]: I always recommend that novices practice in local virtual machines first, so you can make as many mistakes as you need to, to figure it out :) [01:39] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- thats what im trying to do :) [01:41] hi, when running apt-get update on Ubuntu 12.10, i get some IP not found msgs, output here https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3082dc8afd7136363769. 12.10 wouldn't be an old version i'd imagine so guess that wouldn't be the reason. any idea how to resolve? [01:42] Why can't I remove the 2 from my nick? [01:43] Anyone? [01:43] Dragin2: this isn't IRC support, ask in #freenode [01:43] niop: yes your release has gone unsupported, dead... finished, gone! you would be better off backing up and clean installing a supported release, i.e. 12.04.5 or 14.04.1 [01:44] you could have just told me. No need to be a jerk about it [01:44] Dragin2: i'm not being a 'jerk' as you put it in american speak, i'm directing you to the correct channel to ask someone who knows about it. deal with it.

[01:52] ill just rm the file first i guess. this is happening inside a travis ci build, i don’t have a good idea of what’s already in there :/ [01:52] thanks TJ- [01:53] <[Ex0r]> mail forwarding only seems to be working for one user.. [01:53] rustyrazorblade_: where possible its best to try not to alter package-management supplied configs. Some packages support run-parts via /etc//conf.d/ directories. But other than moving the customised settings out of the main .conf file, I think you'd have to change a debconf setting to have it choose to override with a "keep" ... I think that is possible, but never done it [01:54] daftykins: thank you very much.

Now ubuntu gets the black screen with blinking cursor [02:38] hello i Edit /etc/UPower/UPower.conf and add IgnoreLid=true to the bottom.and now [02:38] when i close my laptop lid it opens up Display Settings [02:38] every lid open and twice [02:39] Not only that, but I have a live cd and live usb, both of which get the blinking cursor as well, and also I have a windows 7 partition which freezes at startup [02:40] can i find out on what step it is stopping? For some reason even the "recovery mode" option does not actually print debug messages when booting [02:40] (or at least not before this blinking cursor) [02:41] !text | Pinkamena_D [02:41] Pinkamena_D: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [02:41] !nomodeset | Pinkamena_D [02:41] Pinkamena_D: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:41] yes I have tried nomodeset [02:41] Pinkamena_D, Sounds kinda like a hardware issue. [02:42] yes it does, but I dont understand how two things could break at the same time, though I guess its possible [02:42] Pinkamena_D, What two things? [02:43] for example, I found that the video card went bad, so I replaced it with a backup [02:43] now it seems lik eit will post but there is another issue [02:43] hey guys is there anyway to set a command to a variable so vast = [commands] [02:44] Pinkamena_D, A new graphic card could easily be the black screen issue, and windows issue. [02:44] and live [02:45] right, but not livecd [02:45] but why? [02:45] any idea [02:45] Pinkamena_D, Why not live we see it here all the time [02:45] its a geforce 8800 GT, a common midrange card [02:46] text and monodeset seem to have no effect [02:46] nomodeset* [02:46] Pinkamena_D, You might try ##hardware [02:47] ok, but is there no way I can get a list of debug messages? [02:47] So I want to get a USB video capture device (like this guy http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3504456&CatId=1428 ) [02:47] aand I'm in the wrong channel, please disregard [02:48] ok, nvm, thank you for the suggestions [02:49] Pinkamena_D, Are you sure you are using nomodeset correctly, by adding it to grub and correctly booting, that card is a nvidia could easily need drivers. I see numerous threads at askubuntu on it. [02:50] there is a safe x in recovery as well [02:50] the other card was also nvidia, and I had the nvidia-current package installed [02:51] if I could at least get a terminal I could back up my files [02:51] Pinkamena_D, Not the driver for that exact card right? [02:51] hi. i have a problem updating [02:51] can anyone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8030468/ [02:51] correct, just the generic package [02:51] <[Ex0r]> Is there anyone here familiar with dovecot ? [02:53] mamece2, That is a debian "ufoai-common ufoai-maps" package why are you installing it? [02:53] hm I think I found the problem... or rather memtest did [02:53] thanks for trying =P [02:53] Beldar: it was suposed to be an update but it went wrong === Granis` is now known as Granis [02:54] Beldar: now when i try to update i cant [02:54] mamece2, 3rd party to boot, technically not supported here. [02:54] <_unreal_> ok so I just finished the install. and I cant seem to CTRL + SHIFT + V or C text in and out the terminal === sanvisum is now known as ajeffco [02:54] Beldar: i think its a basic ubuntu (debian) issue that can be discussed here [02:54] mamece2, You will have to remove that issue, not sure how myself. [02:55] Beldar: i could say I have issues running apt-get install -f [02:55] mamece2, ubuntu is not debian period, however if someone feels sorry for you, you may get help. [02:55] you could say you were the queen of england. ;) [02:56] true [02:56] <[Ex0r]> having an issue getting it to work [02:57] Question: I have Trusty Tahr.....why are some programs available in the software center and others not? [02:58] I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside with Windows 8 (wth UEFI) but I get warning "/dev/sda contains GPT signatures..." and such. I found that it can be fixed by fixing partition table [02:58] Loshki : yes [02:58] but does it removes all the files on the disk? [02:58] krismatrix, what programms are not ? [02:58] I don't have backups [02:58] krismatrix: depends on the repos you have enabled. [02:58] <_unreal_> figured it out, I was in xterm not terminal [02:58] kompozer for example...and simplescreenrecorder === master is now known as blueingress [02:59] Loshki : can i just format it and clean it so it will work right [02:59] what do you call a server for several terminals where users can login to ubuntu at any machine, using a username/password? [02:59] krismatrix: nevermind [02:59] i am relatively a new ubuntu/linux user..so...need so knowledge [02:59] sandman13, Sounds like a time to backup windows any windows up to pro has one free imaging/clone. [02:59] sandman13, Than read the UEFI wiki [03:01] krismatrix, Kompozer was dropped from the repos, since it is no longer maintained in Debia [03:01] n [03:02] ok..but i was able to install it via the terminal...is that ok...or are there some concerns [03:03] krismatrix, odd, you stated it is not available [03:03] I could not find it in ubuntu software center...but going to terminal (based on instruction on websites) I was able install using sudo [03:05] Also...as a longtime windows user...if i wanted to uninstall software...i always went to control panel to do so....now ubuntu software center has a way to uninstall software but it seems only those that were install used that system. Things I installed via the terminal don't count...how do i find programs that are not in software center and uninstall them if i need to. [03:06] krismatrix apt-get remove {packagename} [03:06] or dpkg -r {packagename} [03:07] and how do i find the package name? for programs installed within my computer [03:07] krismatrix what programs are you talking about? [03:08] it could be anything...I have no idea where a program is typically installed and how to find out what programs already exist and how to delete/uninstall them. [03:08] krismatrix, install synaptic, more detailed softwarecenter, what does show all installed packages. [03:08] krismatrix, i dislike softwarecenter for the commercial crap, and not showing added software other than tru the standard repos [03:09] krismatrix I agree with oerheks, install synaptic. also you can google to find out most package names but most should be pretty easy [03:09] ok...so get synaptic..i see that I can download it from ubuntu software center [03:09] i shall do so.. [03:09] have fun [03:10] krismatrix it should have a much more complete list [03:11] ok...i'd like to ask a few more basic questions... [03:12] When installing software via terminal...i have used sudo and make ...and maybe someother things....I think sudo is super user do...which i only understand to mean something that will allow me to install and uninstall software...it is sort of like Windows Admin priveleges...but what i make? what is wget? [03:13] krismatrix sudo is superuser, which lets you access root privileges after entering your password [03:13] krismatrix wget is a webpage pulling utility [03:14] krismatrix you can read documentation on many commands by typing "man {commandname}" [03:14] ie: [03:14] krismatrix: make is for compiling source code [03:14] man wget [03:14] krismatrix: can think of sudo like privilege escalation, so can often get around permissions, like to install software. wget is great for downloading things, can also post data, but normally you wget a link. [03:14] ok...i'll try man wget [03:15] krismatrix: the programs you install using make can't be uninstalled from the software-center or apt-get remove, you have to run make uninstall, but it depends if the author has written something to uninstall it or not [03:15] !info curl | krismatrix, curl is good for working with websites in cli as well [03:15] krismatrix, curl is good for working with websites in cli as well: curl (source: curl): command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax. In component main, is optional. Version 7.35.0-1ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 119 kB, installed size 301 kB [03:16] ok. [03:16] <[Ex0r]> weird, I managed to get my mail client to connect to my mail server via pop3, but it wont read emails [03:16] so curl is something that can download a file from the internet? [03:17] krismatrix: it can do that, but if that's all you're doing, then I would use wget. Completely up to you, both generally do the same thing in that regard. [03:18] ok...thanks a lot guys...i am learning a lot. [03:19] <[Ex0r]> So is there anyone here familiar enough with dovecot to tell me why my mail client can connect to the pop3 server, but it won't retrieve any emails, even though there are some there [03:25] This is less of a linux/ubuntu question..more of libre office Impress question...does anyone know why there is lag when using a extended tablet with impress and is there a fix? [03:26] hi im lookingt for support since i loaded ubuntu 14.04 on my hp pavillion dv6 its overheating really bad === denias is now known as Sukarno [03:29] <_unreal_> ok so I'm now using xfce on ubuntu 14.04 and I opened up terminal and I have no command prompt [03:30] hey guys is there anyway to set a command to a variable so vast = [commands] [03:30] ahh the all questions and no answers club alittle like the ubuntu help wikis nothing works [03:32] apollofm, Not ubuntu related but overheating of this model. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Hp-pavilion-dv6-overheating-really-quickly/td-p/618045/page/6 [03:32] _unreal_ what does that mean exactly [03:33] <_unreal_> I open up a terminal window and every thing looks normal BUT there is no prompt. $ [03:33] apollofm, Complaining on a free help channel after 6 min hmm.

[03:40] anyone know bash enough to answer a this question: Can i script sometihng that can control sound on the fly? [03:40] bash is dead right now. [03:41] quantibility: what aspect of sound? [03:41] ok ty so theres n othing i can do about the fan not spinning up which it does in win7 [03:48] apollofm: nothing? Too soon to give up. What about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 It's very old... [03:49] somsip: just general [03:50] quantibility: your answer makes no sense. Do you want to enable/disable it? Increase/decrease volume? Change equalizer settings?

[03:51] argh, gdm won't start -- just gives me a black screen. [03:52] With a cursor. [03:52] quantibility: a bind I use for that is "amixer -q sset Master 2+". or "2-" to decrease. YMMV [03:52] Can someone help me the Network Connections Module in Ubuntu 14.04 does not save my VPN passwords/secrets, so I have to c onstantly re-enter ,m them I think this may be another bug I am experiencing, bad move upgrading...what can I do , to attempt to fix this? How would I diagnose this issue... [03:53] somsip:but can i get input on current volume [03:53] apollofm: also, "apt-cache search fan | egrep -i control" shows 3 or 4 apps for fan control === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii [03:53] Hey is there anyway to use vim or a vimstyle editor to edit textboxes in a browser? [03:53] quantibility: no idea. I just knew I had a bind to control volume and thought that might help. Looking into what else you can do with amixer might help you [03:53] network-manager does not save vpn (openvpn) password anymore [03:53] somsip: thanks its a start [03:54] if anyone can help ill be for ever greatful [03:54] re-install openvpn and or network manager [03:55] Akiva-Thinkpad: which browser? [03:55] somsip, any; preferably ubuntu's browser [03:55] the webbrowser-app [03:56] Akiva-Thinkpad: wasavi for Firefox, also Pentadactyl and Vimperator. Possibly All Text!. Not so much for Chrome. Dunno what you mean by "ubuntu's browser" [03:56] somsip, are you running 14.04? [03:56] Akiva-Thinkpad: yes. [03:57] somsip, open the dash, type "Webb" [03:57] Akiva-Thinkpad: I do not use a dash. [03:57] somsip, o_o [03:57] okay [03:57] terminal [03:57] type webb and press tab [03:58] Akiva-Thinkpad: no. I'm happy to help, but this is silly [03:58] somsip: please can you explain the difference between set and sset in amixer? [03:58] Loshki: no idea. Check the manual [03:58] somsip, o_O fine; don't learn what the Webbrowser-app is; the app that will likely replace firefox. [04:00] somsip: I did, and I'm none the wiser, why I asked. When I hunt it down I'll come back and tell y'all [04:00] Loshki: well, I have it doing what I need it to do so no need on my behalf. [04:01] I am trying to dualboot Ubuntu with Windows 8 (UEFI) but it shows this warning: http://imgur.com/ErNUBrn. Searching on google yielded that I need to fix the Partition Table but I am wondering if it would wipe the entire drive. [04:03] sandman13, there's a tool to reconfigure/transmute a GPT to MBR - that doesn't normally result in a wipe. However, when you're working at the storage medium process, backup ^2 [04:03] !uefi | sandman13, BUT you are aware of uefi/ubuntu issues? [04:03] sandman13, BUT you are aware of uefi/ubuntu issues?: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [04:03] somsip: as you wish... [04:03] STFW for this and didn't find anything useful. How do I fix what causes this? Uncaught exception: ../../../../src/generic/apt/apt.cc:713: void surrounding_or_internal(const pkgCache::DepIterator&, pkgCache::DepIterator&, pkgCache::DepIterator&): Assertion "found" failed. [04:04] <_TJ_> sandman13: You can answer "Yes" to confirm the disk has a GPT, otherwise if you use a MSDOS MBR style table it'll lose access to the Windows installation [04:04] DocPlatypus: possibly you need the #c or #c++ channel? [04:04] !alis | DocPlatypus [04:04] DocPlatypus: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [04:04] cfhowlett: The files are over 1TB in size [04:05] somsip: this happens in aptitude when attempting to upgrade packages. [04:05] sandman13, all the more reason to consider your backup options ... slow your role [04:05] aptitude crashes, and I get that. [04:05] DocPlatypus: ah - details are helpful :) However, I can't help with aptitude [04:05] somsip: sorry thought it would be recognizable as an apt/apt-get/aptitude issue [04:06] cfhowlett: the laptop is of my friend, he wanted to try Ubuntu as Windows is causing serious problems [04:06] somsip command not found [04:06] sandman: was it copywrite infringment problems? [04:07] jakesyl: eh? What's this about then? [04:07] failing that, what's the generic advice for "resetting" the apt/aptitude state? [04:07] DocPlatypus: looking at aptitude-devel bug trackings, it might be something that should be reported as a bug. But there may be an easier fix [04:08] quantibility: every restart made Windows unable to boot [04:08] ty Loshki ill try that see what happens ty all looks complicated but illm give it a go [04:08] yeah when it comes to windows problem s sandman13 i know em all [04:08] <_TJ_> sandman13: Was Windows missing from the boot menu? [04:08] DocPlatypus: Odd that you're the only one seeing this. Which os/version? === _TJ_ is now known as TJ- [04:09] Loshki: 12.04 LTS [04:09] DocPlatypus: so if you don't get an answer here, might be worth lookign through bug reports to see if someone else has a fix for you https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bugs?field.tag=apport-bug [04:09] apollofm: if you're running 14.04, you might have better luck with 12.04... [04:09] TJ-: yes and Windows is the only OS installed on the machine [04:09] DocPlatypus, can you restate the problem or copy/paste it I just joined in not sure what you're asking [04:10] wafflejock: aptitude crashes with an assert failure when I try to upgrade packages. I haven't changed anything recently [04:10] sandman13: you did a dual boot? [04:10] (besides just "sudo aptitude update") [04:10] sandman13: That's a problem with the PC's system firmware, not Windows or any other OS. Some bad implementations of UEFI (the firmware) are known to cause such issues. [04:10] DocPlatypus: could you update aptitude from apt-get? [04:10] ill have update sooner or later [04:11] i loved 10.04 no stress [04:11] somsip: "aptitude is already the newest version." [04:11] DocPlatypus, you can try --reinstall [04:11] DocPlatypus: force reinstall then? I am guessing here... [04:11] apollofm: use apt-get instead? [04:11] quantibility: not yet. I have no medium to backup my files and I am fearing that fixing partition table will wipe out entire drive. Plus it's not my Laptop. [04:12] sandman13: the central problem is when the operating system is installed it calls UEFI services to add itself to the system's internal boot menu... sometimes the UEFI fails to record that information despite telling the OS it has done so. Next time the PC starts, there's no entry for the OS and the user can't do anything unless the system includes the UEFI shell [04:12] sorry im confused [04:12] apollofm, 14.04 is pretty nice too, I wasn't a huge fan of Unity in 12.04, went to KDE now on Gnome but I might go back to Unity eventually with some of the changes they made from 12 [04:12] sandman13: Are you running the Live ISO "Try Ubuntu" at the moment? [04:12] apollofm: apt-get is not as elegant as aptitude but has much the same functionality, and fewer bugs, apparently... [04:13] TJ-: No, I am on my Laptop running Debian [04:13] i tryied loading 14.04 32 bit but it was no good [04:13] somsip, wafflejock, Loshki: "update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/bin/aptitude-curses because link group aptitude is broken." [04:13] but it appears to have worked [04:13] Is anybody else here having problems on ebay?? [04:13] DocPlatypus: and does aptitude run now? [04:13] !ot | john38 [04:13] somsip: trying it now [04:13] john38: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:13] is there nota 32 bit x86 pae version of 14.04 for x86 desktop? only thing I could find is i386.... less than 2gb ram n I've got 2x that. [04:13] i use it when ever i can [04:13] TJ-: the problem is I don't have experience with UEFI [04:14] somsip, what?? [04:14] somsip: so far so good. [04:14] sandman13: You're fortunate; I do :) [04:14] john38: this channel is for ubuntu support. the question you are asking doesn't appear to have anything to do with ubuntu. #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to ask [04:14] sandman13, depending on his ram, you might be better off leaving UEFI/dual boot issues aside for now. install virtualbox to windows. install 32 bit lubuntu/xubuntu to virtualbox. [04:14] john38, not really a ubuntu question you can check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [04:15] somsip, well yes since i am using ebay on ubuntu and there seems to be problems but on windows its working fine [04:15] john38, if you think it's browser related or something we need details on what browser your using [04:15] i used i386 the cpu went crazy 100 usage [04:15] john38, have you tried other browsers? [04:15] what is the behavior [04:15] !details [04:15] 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) [04:16] i think it may be a problem with flash plugin or something ebay keeps refreshing itself over and over [04:16] I feel kind of dumb now. first thing I should have tried, on instinct, was a reinstall of aptitude. yet it's discomforting to know that apparently random binaries/files are getting corrupted in subtle ways [04:16] john38, what browser? [04:16] wafflejock, firefox [04:16] wafflejock, just on that site [04:16] john38, would suggest trying chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome it has a built in flash player they maintain [04:16] wafflejock, and!! amazon [04:16] DocPlatypus: time for a fsck? or other check of HD [04:17] cfhowlett: the chances that Windows won't boot next time is high. This is the reason he wanted Ubuntu [04:17] john38, surprisingly on Adobe's site they drop support for linux with FP 11 or 12 I forget but in Chrome you get FP14 [04:17] ok [04:18] sandman13, so ... why keep windows if it's failing. wipe it out and do 100% ubuntu. Expontially easier [04:18] *exponentially* [04:18] somsip: possibly. computer likes to run hot, hard disk has definitely shown me in no uncertain terms it hates heat too [04:18] yeah I had the dual boot but rebooting even on SSD is too slow, I like my Windows in a VM where it belongs :P [04:18] DocPlatypus: ***warning*** best heeded [04:19] somsip: actually HD has run hot enough that it is having issues when started cold (<30°C or so) [04:19] wafflejock: amen... [04:19] thanks guys all info apreciated ill try that or buy a fan cooling pad :) [04:19] sandman13: You can also use the Ubuntu Live environment, if it is booted in UEFI mode, to add the Windows OS boot entry to the system's boot menu [04:19] DocPlatypus: you already seem to know you have a problem then [04:19] somsip: yes but not one I'm expecting to result in random corruption of data that should only rarely be written to if ever [04:19] I usually use rEFInd as my boot chooser on UEFI. [04:20] I have a separate / and /home [04:20] my / rarely gets touched except to read data, write logs, and occasionally update programs [04:20] read programs* [04:21] DocPlatypus: I missed the start of this, but that sounds to me like flakey RAM ... have you run a thorough memtest ? [04:21] TJ-: it's not flaky RAM [04:21] if anything of the sort, it *might* be dirty power (1950s house, everything has to be plugged in with a cheater adapter) [04:23] DocPlatypus: power is filtered and cleaned by the PSU; absent total brown-outs, fluctuating mains AC isn't going to cause random data corruption, without the system totally falling over and resetting, or reporting lost devices [04:25] DocPlatypus: In my experience random corruption of on-disk data, where the disk's own CRC proves the data read was the same as written, is caused 95% of the time by flakey RAM modules... and the other 5% by flakey memory controllers or CPUs [04:26] TJ-: could a failing PSU have damaged the RAM on its way out? [04:27] im having issues connecting google and hotmail, tested different browsers all other sites connecting normally also other services like irc connect normal [04:31] DocPlatypus: I'm not sure, but anything is possible if a PSU does something it ought not === lbaway is now known as luckybunny [04:32] DocPlatypus: if you're experiencing apparent data corruption, and there are no I/O errors in the kern.log indicating disk, controller, or cable faults, then the reasonable conclusion is that the data is being corrupted on its way from RAM to the device [04:34] DocPlatypus: I had a server a few months ago would do that... but only under heavy load. Eventually a 48 hour memtest run found that the last stick of RAM (the one which would have been mapped to the highest addresses) had sticky bits.... and that module's addresses were only rarely paged in when the system was under heavy load. [04:34] TJ-: I'll run memtest when I get a chance [04:35] DocPlatypus: And it was fixed simply by firmly reseating the module in the slot. Sometimes the general vibrations in the PC can cause some connectors to lose a perfect contact and a physical push is enough to fix it [04:36] TJ-: had that happen once on the computer this one replaced [04:37] DocPlatypus: It used to happen a lot with VGA video cards where the weight of the connector on the outside would, over time, cause the inner end of the card to lift just enough for some signal paths to onnly have intermittent contact. It used to be like magic to visit a client, whip out the screwdriver and fix it whilst they were away fetching a cup of tea :) === schuyler is now known as xxpor [04:41] wafflejock, so theres no flash plugin that will work for firefox [04:41] wafflejock, updated === hypernet is now known as Rallias [04:50] Anyone here tonight?

[05:02] cause this laptop may have a bad drive [05:02] Companion_Cuybe, could be a bad ISO, could be a bad USB. [05:03] Yes, I verified the ISO [05:03] hey guys, how can i make my initrd include support for cryptdevice? [05:03] it's really easy on arch (just add the encrypt hook), but i can't figure it out on ubuntu 14.04 [05:03] So are there any recommendations for using dconf on nfs home directories? I've seen the database truncated on odd occasions when there is network problems during logout. I noticed some documentation about storing it in LDAP, but it was pretty old. [05:03] Whats going on here? [05:03] i'm trying to boot to an encrypted root but grub just says the root is missing [05:03] anything to enter on the Boot: command window?

[05:06] yay [05:06] lachesis: When update-initramfs runs it calls cryptsetup hooks which will look at crypttab and fstab, and if the root file-system is on a crypt device, will add the necessary binaries, scripts, and configuration to the initrd [05:07] lachesis: Is the /boot/ file-system outside of the encryption? [05:07] Oh boy.

[05:10] yes [05:10] I'm hoping it just overheated [05:10] or some shit [05:10] Companion_Cuybe, maybe you'd best leave it for an hour. and no profanity. [05:10] Most likely [05:10] Sorry. [05:11] im hoping my pc overheated [05:11] lol [05:11] probrably not though :C [05:11] ubuntu couldn't corrupt and mess up so badly that it prevents the computer from booting [05:11] Could it? [05:12] Companion_Cuybe, highly unlikley [05:12] Okay good. [05:12] Well from years of computer usage its possible it fried the power supply [05:13] unplug, disconnect and leave it alone for an hour ... [05:13] Me and Him?

[05:41] What luck.

[05:42] Companion_Cuybe, wait, what? bad power supply is CONFIRMED? [05:42] anew: what extension. What command are you using to try to connect to it? Why do you think it will respond to telnet? [05:43] Not neccessarily. [05:43] It's been about half an hour though. [05:43] This is my first time using this. What is Xchat used for? [05:43] pete__, irc [05:43] pete__, technical suppport [05:43] somsip mozrepl. it is listening on port 4225. if i have firefox open it works, but i cant start firefox from scratch [05:43] I think the laptop turned off because I didn't have the battery in and the connection with the charger is slightly finnicky. [05:44] I'll continue waiting. [05:44] anew: I'd like to help, but you're not answering questions I'm asking, so good luck [05:44] the apearance settings still don't work... [05:44] somsip wot.... i just answered them [05:45] edition, ask #xfce [05:45] somsip extension = mozrepl [05:45] thanks [05:45] anew: what extension. What command are you using to try to connect to it? [05:45] somsip extension = mozrepl !! [05:46] argh, stupid apparmor.... can't start any libvirt VMs, due to an unspecified apparmor_parser error. There's no message about what's wrong with the profile. [05:46] somsip i am connecting from a perl script, it works if ff is open, but not if it is closed [05:46] Should I be worried, cfhowlett? [05:46] Companion_Cuybe, you should wait, get off IRC, go for a walk and test in 45 minutes [05:47] its 2 am [05:47] anew: It doesn't look like anything official to do with ubuntu. I suggest you contact the plugin author or the wiki https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki [05:47] Alright alright I'll leave you alone [05:47] why cant i telnet to port 4225 was my question !!! [05:48] anew: why can't you telnet? you can -- "telnet host 4225". next question? [05:48] i get unable to connect to remote host [05:48] then its not listening or you have a firewall or something blocking it [05:49] ben64 iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4225 -j ACCEPT shouldnt this take care of that ? [05:50] DanaG: Yeah, its a pain isn't it?

[08:00] ubtuntu is the best of all the daemons in the world [08:00] dont u agree captain america [08:01] cynicallemon : will take a look on xfce, thanks [08:01] box select works on XFCE [08:01] Blenda, Both will take multiple files and drag and drop or copy and paste. [08:01] by box selct, i mean like in Photoshop where you draw a rectangle, in explorer it selects files inside this rectangle [08:01] pretty common [08:01] xfce file manager is called thunar [08:01] dont believe it rectangles are not true [08:02] the only shape that exists is a trapazoid [08:02] hahha [08:02] or lasso select would be cool too [08:03] Blenda, right nautilus does the same, windows as far as I know does not just add that box to the clipboard. === amir is now known as Guest35769 [08:05] so you say there's is box select in nautiluse, but it doenst work here, when i leftclick/drag, it doesnt draw a selection rectangle, it does drag the file im on [08:06] then you're not doing it correctly [08:06] Blenda, You do it around the file not directly on it. [08:06] just noticed it works in "grid of icons" mode, but not in list mode [08:06] windows is the same [08:07] anyone in here able to answer a watercooling question? [08:07] you have to click in the right empty spot in both [08:07] yeah i know, but it only works in Thumbnails mode, not list mode [08:07] list mode works [08:07] 44/37 [08:08] you're doing it wrong, like windows [08:08] no lol [08:08] dioioib, Not an intrinsic ubuntu question. [08:08] i know how to box select, now i tell you ^^ i can box select in Thumbnail mode, but not in list mode!!! [08:09] oh well, 3 people are telling you that you are doing it incorrectly and you want to argue, who's the troll now? [08:09] Blenda: I know but no one in hardware is answering. I know everyone in here is more knowledgeable. Do we have an off topic chan? [08:10] dioioib, #ubuntu-offtopic [08:10] ObrienDave: please consider i do it right, maybe it's a bug? [08:11] please consider you are doing it incorrectly and it works for everyone else but you. NOT a bug [08:11] doh [08:12] please consider i know how to use a computer, since my 12 years old, my question about box select is because it doesnt work (fact), after trying several times for 2 months [08:12] :) [08:13] looks like ill have to reinstall xubuntu, since KDE has ruined the theme config... [08:13] manyway thats not death, i'll stick with it until i know more about linux, and maybe try out xfce [08:13] @Blender xfce is great [08:13] edition, could be cause i have a few bugs since it tweaked compiz [08:13] don't tweak compiz. it works fine itself. [08:14] *must not feed trolls* [08:14] is there a better way, to restore the orgininal theme of xubuntu? [08:14] edition: unless you backed up no [08:14] :D [08:15] ah well [08:16] as usual, thanks dudes, and good day! === Granis` is now known as Granis [08:17] i have two vcards on laptop. how can i see which one is used currently? [08:17] edition: what theme are you talking about? === Granis` is now known as Granis [08:28] Hi [08:29] greetings and welcome [08:29] I got this when trying to install wordpress theme on localhost : Unpacking the package… [08:29] Could not create directory. [08:29] is that a permission issue ? [08:29] yep, sounds like it is [08:30] does anyone here have bamboo experience? [08:30] winem, What to do ? [08:31] I did not use wordpress very often but check the permissions on the folders. there should be one "wordpress-root" directory containing folders for themes, plugins, etc [08:32] the easiest way to do this is to switch the user to the wordpress user which probably will be apache or www or something like that, go to the folder and try to create a folder or a file with touch [08:32] winem, drwxrwxrwx [08:32] can you create a file on the partition? just to ensure that the FS is not mounted read-only [08:33] winem, in / ? [08:34] winem, Where ? [08:34] winem, I have only one partition and i can create folders and files in it. [08:35] ok [08:35] do you have a folder called wp-content? [08:35] Sure [08:36] check the permissions in this folder. and confirm that the webserver is running with the right user [08:38] winem, owner me, access Read & write group root access r and w others r and w [08:39] then you almost checked everything on the local FS [08:39] is the theme package a valid one? [08:41] Yes. [08:41] use `file .zip`if it's a zip and try to extract it manually [08:42] hum... ok.. do you have some more logs from the webserver? [08:42] I extracted it [08:42] winem, Logs, where can i find this ? [08:43] do you use redhat / centos or debian? [08:43] winem, debian ubuntu [08:44] please check /var/log/apache2 [08:44] winem, access.log ? [08:45] is there no error.log? [08:45] how do you edit a file 20 GB in size inline ? [08:45] winem, Yeah there is [08:45] vi loads buffer into memory i think [08:45] shit is weird [08:45] Hello! how do I check if apache is autostarting on boot without restarting my server? [08:46] checkconfig apache2 [08:46] f00f: depends on the task you'd like to perform. would it be possible to use patch or sed? [08:46] jop [08:47] innocent95: please take a look at the logfile [08:47] winem: whats patch, i'd love to use sed, any handy guides ? [08:47] f00f: I have no checkconfig command [08:47] I have a problem.when I sudo gedit,I can't use input method;but if I run gedit on root,I can use IME [08:47] in the best case, you'll find some path [08:47] koichirose: use umm, rc-update remove apache2 default [08:47] winem, lots of errors, do you wanna a pastebin ? [08:47] koichirose: or rc-update add apache2 default to add i think ? [08:48] f00f: I’d simply like to know if it’s already autostarting [08:48] clear the logfile ( true > error.log ), reproduce the issue and provide a pastebin in a privat chat, please [08:48] I'll have to leave for a few minutes [08:49] winem, Alright, great idea btw [08:50] Hello. How can I switch quickly between two program windows "of the same kind" like two terminals or browser windows? Alt-Tabbing doesn't work here on Ubuntu :-/ Any idea? [08:50] winem, No errors [08:54] koichirose: you get the ides dude, just use update-rc.d -n apache2 remove [08:55] koichirose: the -n will make sure notthing gets removed. but at least you'll see what might happen if the command ran [08:55] ok [08:55] I think just update-rc.d disable will be fine. [08:56] why bother to remove it since you can just disable it. [08:56] lol [08:56] laughingtiger: I simply need to check if it’s autostarting, I don’t want to remove it [08:57] all right then koichirose. lol [08:57] and with the -n command above I get: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/apache2 exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [08:57] So I guess it’s autostarting === Germanaz0|0FF is now known as Germanaz0 [08:59] Hey guys is there are way to install kali-tools on ubuntu 14.04 i tryed 500 guides without any success?

[09:16] sorry about my english [09:16] horrow: there are no official kali tools for ubuntu from ubuntu side. some tools are in the ubuntu repos. so if you dont want to use just single one i would suggest to ask the kali guys how to get their programs on ubuntu [09:17] so i cant ask here? [09:17] i just need some help [09:17] horrow: why not ask the one who makes the package? [09:18] kali repos are debian based so there shouldn't be much trouble (if any) if you are willing to risk it [09:18] I would like but i dont know what to do I tryed alot of guides last 5 days [09:19] Hello, I'm setting up a apache on a ubuntu 14.04 machine, I've installed apache from the repository.

[15:12] it is a computer disk [15:12] it runs yeah :D [15:13] arcas: it's ok, everybody makes mistakes. what matters is, if you learn from them :) [15:13] peak: remember to enable 3D acceleration for the virtual machine, or it might be... slow :) [15:14] jonlee_: can you open a file manager? and it does not see or display it? [15:14] no it doesnt show up at all [15:15] Would the fact that my Linux is installed on an SSD be a potential cause to the battery drainage? [15:15] takkun, doubtful - not at the rate you cited [15:15] takkun: try powertop [15:15] now i have a ubuntu background, no startmenu, what should i do :D [15:16] I'm am currently installing powertop. I will brb guys. I appreciate all the help :) [15:16] jonlee_: then that needs some troubleshooting about why it's not automatically mounted, but I don't have time for it now, hopefully someone else can help [15:16] jonlee_: does it mount USB sticks automatically? [15:16] Guys quick question, when installing tars what is the best folder to install them in? I see differing answers around the web. [15:16] is there a startmenu on ubuntu? [15:17] where do i find it? [15:17] takkun: depends on what exactly is in the tar... [15:17] Hmm, well Im trying to install Power Top [15:17] takkun: if it is sources which need to be compiled, then setting prefix to /usr/local is common [15:17] sounds like you're doing it wrong :) [15:17] takkun: install it from the software manager, or apt-get install powerwop [15:18] oh! that would make it easier thank x3. [15:18] hey guys, what should i do now, i have no gui on the gui [15:19] takkun: oh yeah, in Linux you can install most software simply from the distros software repositories. No need to hunt around the internet for download... (except sometimes you want the latest version, and might have to do that) [15:19] peak, sudo startx [15:19] yes it does [15:19] i did this [15:19] cfhowlett: umm... using sudo to run startx doesn't sound too good [15:19] now i have a red background without anything on it [15:19] one last time and then i'll stop bugging you folks. I'm using ldap for authorization and i'm looking to map homeDirectory to /home/$uid — the "map passwd homeDirectory "/home/$uid" directive in nslcd.conf is not working for some reason. the only error I get is 'could not create home directory /path/to/ldap/home/directory/and/not/the/mapped/one [15:19] hyde, correct me as needed. I have no ego [15:19] cfhowlett: doesn't it create a bunch of root-owned files in users home directory, for starters? [15:19] Just for educational purposes. Where would I install the tar, if it does not need sources to be compiled? I'm very new to linux and I'm trying to switch over to it completely. And knowing all these things would be useful I think. ^^ [15:20] !tar | takkun [15:20] takkun: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [15:20] Oh I just usually use terminal to open them. I find it easier. [15:20] takkun: I'd probably install it in the home directory, and not mess system directories with manually installed software [15:21] takkun: if you've just switched over, compiling from source may be a topic worth left until you have a broader base knowledge [15:21] (assuming you have a personal computer and not shared) [15:21] i think i have a desktop now without GUI [15:21] *worth leaving... [15:21] is that possible [15:21] peak: yes [15:21] how do i get a gui [15:21] did you reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop?

[15:23] oh thx hyde [15:23] what now? [15:24] is there somewhere something i can read? [15:24] peak: you are in shell? then sudo reboot [15:24] it seems like it didnt understand the command [15:24] are you logged in? [15:24] first log in, if it is asking for user name [15:25] im logged in i think [15:25] it writes to the shell what i type in [15:25] but it doesnt do anything [15:25] peak: ? [15:25] help! opening any window freezes entire OS for like 15s [15:25] and indicators are completely broken [15:25] oh, yeah... hit ctrl-C [15:26] that's the one you did startx in [15:26] so it is running that [15:26] a restart fixes it, but I wanna see how to debug this [15:26] ok :-) [15:26] thx [15:26] hyde how would you go to the troubleshooting [15:26] So what exactly Do i do with powertop guys? I can ran the program within terminal, and it is showing me a bunch of information. [15:26] this happens seemingly randomly === lewq_ is now known as lewq [15:26] jonlee_: commands: dmsg, lsblk [15:27] first shows kernel messages, second lists block devices (like cd rom) [15:27] thank you guys :-) [15:27] guys... seriously is there anywhere I should look at to try and debug this? [15:28] f00dWorksta: top, iostat. I'd start with something like that [15:28] takkun type apt-cache show powertop to see what it does [15:28] i have no mouse [15:28] :-/ [15:29] Powertop is telling me that "The battery reports a discharge rate of 19.3 W" is that good? and okkay I will try that monkey [15:29] f00dWorksta: do you have dodgy network connection? maybe I'm cynical in thinking that Unity wants to talk to network occasionally, and for example DNS delays may make the whole thing to freeze, but that is what I am thinking ;) [15:29] how do you get to that [15:29] f00dWorksta: anyway, you could see if `dmsg` shows anything suspicious, like some timout errors or device errors or something [15:30] how do i get a mouse on the ubuntu desktop on a virtual machine? [15:30] peak: do you have a good internet connection? if so, download desktop version... [15:31] ok [15:31] hyde: dmsg? or dmesg? [15:31] when ssh'ing into my raspberry pi (debian / raspian) the username@hostname is colored, yet on ubuntu server it's just white text. Is there any way to change that? I highly prefer the colored version, since it's obvious on first sight, that I'm using ssh right now [15:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_as_Guest_OS [15:31] f00dWorksta: dmesg [15:31] typing in apt-cache show powertop simply shows information about what the program does. [15:31] here it says its not working [15:32] peak: what did you use to virtualize? [15:32] peak: that page seems like it may be out of date...

There's a key for releasing it, right control in VirtualBox by default... maybe that's what's happening? [15:37] ...though, mouse integration seems to work out-of-the-box for me lately, with VirtualBox [15:37] but you can toggle it, maybe you toggled it by accident [15:37] how do i get my mouse back [15:37] how do you open the commands dmsg, lsblk or get to it [15:37] in virtualbox, right control, just tap it once [15:37] peak hit right ctrl key [15:37] im out of the box [15:37] but i have no mouse still [15:38] im here in mirc [15:38] i think i have to reboot [15:38] mirc, that's windows... are you in windows now?

[15:42] * hyde wonders how the Win 8.1 can lose the mouse.... [15:43] that guy hates ubuntu because he doesnt know how windows works -- i miss the logic in that [15:43] MonkeyDust: he got off to a bad start... read instructions to install ubuntu-server for a VM, and then something got messed up when installing DE on it [15:44] MonkeyDust: also, with the mouse issue, I suspect some Win8.1 - VirtualBox incompatibility is at play [15:44] hyde, "they" told him ...

[16:19] Reminouche: nobody at all [16:19] MonkeyDust: ok [16:19] JohnTalent: speed is dependant mainly on the hardware, and if you are doing a full copy, or differentials [16:19] no it says disks but nocd [16:20] jonlee_ did it work before? [16:20] I developped a dragon ball z fangame with a friend (for mobile), and i search... some feedbacks.

According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype it should be without the /ubuntu [17:27] without the /ubuntu the new version shows up [17:28] Mlar: Is there a guide you read for this? [17:28] If so, I could use that link [17:28] Actually, the ubuntu help page is enough [17:30] who asked about screen resolution in lubuntu? [17:30] alfonsojon: Just the second lnk I sent you - the info about ticking the two canonical software sources was from a forum posting here http://askubuntu.com/questions/488053/how-to-install-skype-4-3 [17:30] aeyesi i guess you need lxrandr [17:31] alfonsojon: It now installs, but only after follwing the first link (the help.ubuntu page) and adding the source without the /ubuntu === alexander_ is now known as __Alexander_ [17:31] so, any one who can, or wants to provide help with empathy and irc??? yes i know that empathy sucks as an irc client, but i'd like to be able to use ONE application to do both AIM and IRC.

If, however, I don't enter that at boot, the Fn keys won't work on subsequent boots into the Ubuntu live USB even if I enter that switch *unless* I boot into Windows, then reboot into the USB. [17:33] alfonsojon: Ah ok, so when I updated to 14.04 the partner repositories had not updated... they were looking at quantal, not trusty.

Anybody else having this problem? [17:38] nightdemon666: when running the .run, first it tells me the "distributions pre-installation script failed", so I press "ok". then, it tells me Nouveau is still running despite my blacklisting thereof and stopping lightdm [17:38] I'll check what the PPA errors are.. can't remember. [17:39] Matthew_Moore what happesn when you try? [17:39] have you considered running that script with out X running? [17:39] you may have to run that script from command line tty [17:39] nightdemon666: would that require "sudo killall x-org" or something? [17:39] ?? [17:39] MonkeyDust: i have a screenshot https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-e8ZyZ-eMAtM/U-uhIAPyDpI/AAAAAAAAGxo/m3_GyKr-Wyo/w640-h553-no/Screenshot%2Bfrom%2B2014-08-13%2B13%3A30%3A25.png [17:40] you can type top, then find the process id for Xork. kill that process as root [17:40] Matthew_Moore it's because ubuntu one is dead [17:40] Matthew_Moore: that's not software center [17:40] MonkeyDust: is it? [17:40] wow that was brief [17:40] r2j, It is a manual install. No question marks please and have some patience. [17:40] !ubuntuone [17:40] The Ubuntu One file and music service is being discontinued. The service will be unavailable starting 1 June 2014, and content available until 31 July, 2014.

[17:41] nightdemon666: yeah it shows Xorg with a PID.. alright let me log on to IRC with another pc and try it again while Xorg is disabled [17:41] i could log into it until yesterday. [17:41] thats a good idea [17:41] yes I disabled lightdm every time [17:41] QA ftw [17:41] ok, brb then [17:41] i know ubuntu one is dead but this is the log in that comes up in the software center [17:41] it worked until yesterday [17:42] Matthew_Moore: http://askubuntu.com/questions/309122/removing-ubuntu-one [17:42] whoever gave me tip previously [17:42] it didnt worked :3 (,xdefaults) [17:42] Hello, I need to have an easy way to control stuff on another monitor I have. The problem: I don't have mouse where I can see this monitor, so I figure I need to move stuff from one monitor to another without actually seeing anything on the other monitor. How do I go about this? [17:42] Ubuntu 14.04 [17:42] okay guys, please help [17:43] Jonii: check all the window decorations (buttons on top corner) [17:43] how do you prepare ram for rsync? [17:43] you will have to be in a complete command line mode. xorg will have to be stopped and the dm... either lightdm, or xdm... trying to remember the process that keeps lightdm running :-/ [17:43] JohnTalent: you don't [17:43] reisio: how would i see recomended apps in the software center with this?? when i click that function this is what i am prompted with [17:43] need to install ubuntu onto a 64 gb sd card plugged inside the laptop....wanna dual boot with windows that is installed onto a 128 gb ssd [17:43] Matthew_Moore: what? [17:43] r2j: a drive is a drive to GNU/Linux, there are no special instructions [17:43] reisio: rsync was at 40% utilization for 2 minutes. now at 1.7% for 45 mins. [17:43] okay [17:43] if it sees it as storage, that's all there is to it [17:43] reisio: it's because of ram [17:43] where does the bootloader go [17:43] on the ssd or the sd card [17:44] JohnTalent: says who? And why does it matter [17:44] r2j: whichever you please [17:44] reisio: what? I don't understand [17:44] reisio: this login prompt is what i am getting in the software center under see recomeded software. [17:44] r2j: if you put it on the ssd, GRUB will control Windows' booting [17:44] Anyone please -Corrections it is 14.04.1 problem with Google Chrome . I downloaded and installed the .deb file offered by Google. The only way I find to start chrome is from terminal as `google-chrome-stable`, There are errors as given by http://pastebin.com/tHh5WuPd; it starts in a window and places icon in taskbar. The icon disappears when google closes; the browser functions. [17:44] reisio: says top. because it's slow as fuck. [17:44] Matthew_Moore: read the link I gave [17:44] JohnTalent: slower than what [17:44] Yep i want GRUB controlling the booting [17:44] Please keep the language clean [17:44] so i put it on the sd card right? [17:45] r2j: no [17:45] do i have to manually point to the windows [17:45] r2j: on the ssd, if it's the first device [17:45] reisio: okay, you're on ignore. [17:45] r2j: no, it will probably install there by default [17:45] JohnTalent: sure I am [17:45] So.. Xorg isn't even running when I'm in ctrl+alt+f1 mode [17:45] JohnTalent: and what does iotop show, most likely rsync in caning your disks to 100% io [17:45] after you kill xorg, and lightdm, you'll want to make sure that nouvou isnt running anymore either. if it is for some reason, then i would do a sudo rmmod nouvou <-- i think im misspelling this :-( [17:45] reisio: i see that. But will i be able to veiw recomended apps if i purge this from the system?? [17:45] it shouldn't be interfering [17:45] aaaaah.....okay....so i put it on the ssd which has the windows [17:45] and grub will take care of the rest right? [17:45] Matthew_Moore: ubuntu one has almost nothing to do with anything, it is not the software center [17:46] gratz reisio, have a cookie :P [17:46] nightdemon666: thanks, I think nouveau is indeed impeding the process [17:46] TandyUK: oatmeal raisin? [17:46] Im trying to help him now, so im sure i'll end up on ignore too soon [17:46] reisio: then why do i get prompted for it when trying to see recomeded software? i don't understand [17:46] r2j: right [17:46] thanks reisio [17:46] is nouveau still running? [17:46] r2j: unless it doesn't, in which case you can fix it manually very easily, just ask here about it if there's trouble [17:46] chhers [17:46] righto [17:46] perfect [17:46] TandyUK: IME people who say you're on ignore are lying about 120% of the time [17:46] which I don't get, but whatever [17:47] indeed lol [17:47] Matthew_Moore: because they wanted to get paid, and ubuntu one got them paid, briefly [17:47] I still get the "The distribution provided pre-install script failed!" error.. I'm going to "continue installation" though [17:47] Matthew_Moore: if you don't want it, read the link [17:47] no nouveau error! :) [17:47] synaptic touchpad no working in laptop asus X550LA model ,any tips? [17:47] ok [17:48] nightdemon666: now it tells me: "Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later." [17:48] aguitel: does it show up in xinput --list? [17:48] Matthew_Moore: or presumably if you upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu, as you may as well, you would not be bothered with it [17:49] i guess i would allow it to do that with Y and see what happens... what else do you have to lose :_P [17:49] good point, pressing y [17:50] nightdemon666: his soul [17:50] install 32 bit compatability libs.. don't think so, it's 64 bit.. then again, they're only libs [17:50] yes [17:50] hi having a problem with 2 different bluetooth keyboards on 2 different ubuntu installations, the keyboards both seem to "lag" i cannot see anything in the logs and have the latest bluez drivers installed. Any tips or pointers to docs would be appreociated [17:51] benji_: use wires [17:51] im sure it wont use them anyway just the 64bit ones [17:51] if everything goes well, cross your finger when you boot lol [17:51] :) thanks reiso [17:51] nightdemon666: I just pressed yes. Now it's installing DKMS kernel module.. this is the furthest I've ever come in trying this, haha [17:52] Installation complete! [17:52] now start lightdms again right? [17:52] lightdm* [17:52] :-) im at work, im about to go to lunch. good luck. hope i helpped [17:52] enjoy nightdemon666 , thanks for the help :) [17:52] i would simply reboot in order to make it go through all the processes [17:53] sudo reboot [17:53] alright, will do [17:53] i'll return in about 40 mintes and if im not too busy, I'll ask how it went [17:53] brb [17:53] thanks :) [17:54] hmm..

[18:15] intrader, i think you need ppa-purge, as chrome installs a ppa [18:15] !ppapurge [18:15] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:15] intrader: just "sudo nano /usr/share/applications/Chrome.desktop" and type "[Dekstop Entry]", then on a new line: "Name=Chrome", and on a new line "Exec=google-chrome-stable", and on a new line, optionally "Icon=path/to/icon" [18:16] no quotes, and press Ctrl O to save [18:16] then "sudo chmod +x Chrome.desktop" while in the same folder [18:17] then it should show up in your unity search bar [18:17] open it, lock it to launcher, done [18:18] odisa, on earlier ubuntus there was an icon with four squares from which you could choose workspaces (desktop?)

[18:53] good think about it [18:54] it is very dynamic and automatically rekognizes how many cpus and stuff your system have [18:54] via bash script [18:54] how did that end up working out for you? [18:54] bubbasaures: what the app you mean? Media players outputs to speakers [18:54] soman: is that intel hd audio? === myke_ is now known as myke_113 [18:55] hi [18:55] reisio: Nvidia CK804, Realtek ALC850 [18:55] hi [18:55] If I give a user FTP access to their site on my server, how can I make all new files they create, owned by a specific user, and juse use their group?

[18:58] soman: check 'alsamixer' for unmuting/volume options [18:59] marcrs, Make a laptop work? probably not new info if you found it. [19:00] reisio: already done. I picked up all available volumes but no effect [19:00] bubbasaures, I found it by trying myriads of combinations of kernel parameters. Its brand new hardware.

[19:15] it's not where it started, and its not where i wanted it to go [19:16] hello everyone, is there a way to upgrade directly from 12.04. to 14.04.? update manager tells to upgrade to 12.10. first, can I skip interim versions? [19:16] sinix: does it show up when you type: 'ls /' ? [19:17] no [19:17] I'd presume copying your home folder to another medium and simply installing 14.04 on your 12,04 machine would work [19:18] sinix: i think i remember [19:18] and then just pasting it back before you run your 14.04 for the first time [19:18] sinix: when you go to the directory where you started, do you see a file/folder named ','? [19:18] AHA [19:18] yes! [19:18] lol.. [19:19] peapea, sudo do-release-upgrade -p [19:19] does mv always create missing directories like that? ive never noticed and/or tried [19:19] sinix: haha :D u can rename it by the mv command 'mv file.test new.test' === Marco is now known as Marco` [19:19] hello [19:19] bubbasaures, sorry for asking, without mention of 14.04. this will upgrade to it? [19:20] sinix: mv = modifying a file / move file; prob you just renamed it to ',' [19:20] have someone ever experienced fan control on acer aspire one netbooks ? (just curious) [19:20] today i was notified by ubuntu server 12.04.5 that i can upgrade to 14.04.1 [19:20] ahhh, right, so , is the new name, not a directory where the file is [19:20] can someone tell me how much space will be needed for that? [19:20] super thanks :)) [19:21] peapea, I believe that is the command to get that started. [19:21] my current nand status is this [19:21] Usage of /: 60.8% of 3.24GB [19:21] aeyesi_: ehm.. I know it's possible if your hardware supports it [19:21] bubbasaures, are you sure? [19:21] will i be "ok" to start the upgrade? [19:21] sinix: in this example: yes :P and np ;) === owner is now known as Guest9868 [19:22] I tried it one my Asus, but it wouldn't find the fan controller.. I could look up what program it was that did the scan, though [19:22] anyone? [19:22] odisa i already tried even to patch bios [19:22] :D [19:23] Ntemis: what? [19:23] peapea, Back it up first and be sure your 12.04 is full of ubuntu repo packages not 3rd party packages. That command will not start a process you can't stop, the upgrade can be stopped during the download but not the install. [19:23] i succeded but whatever [19:23] ehm.. I think you need lm-sensors or something IIRC aeyesi_ [19:23] :D [19:23] today i was notified by ubuntu server 12.04.5 that i can upgrade to 14.04.1 [19:23] my current nand status is this [19:23] Usage of /: 60.8% of 3.24GB [19:23] yup [19:23] will i be "ok" to start the upgrade? [19:23] aeyesi_: ohh so updated the bios enabled you to control fan speed of an aspire one? ( I have two of them, hence my interest) [19:24] not really i found custom modified bios [19:24] Ntemis: looks risky since you have low diskspace but ill check what the recommented diskspace is [19:24] its not official one [19:24] but it enables some hidden settings [19:24] such us thermal control states [19:24] AMD-Z: thanks [19:24] but i didnt found it usefull or better didnt touched it [19:25] hmm alright then [19:27] Ntemis: it's recommented to have 5GB free diskspace, and anyway i think it's better to do a clean install instead of upgrading, upgrading can make wierd problems.. [19:27] Ntemis: you can also try it tough, since im talking about a clean install and not the disk space required for a upgrade but a clean installation [19:28] bubbasaures, i was googling, and found 'do-release-upgrade' with -s, -d but not with -p in the first five pages of search results..sorry for repeated question, but -p is ok? [19:29] also not in the first ten :) [19:29] thanks AMD-Z [19:29] peapea, Dude running it will not brick your computer, If it was incorrect orf dangerous the channel would comment. [19:29] AMD-Z: I tried the nvidia-current-updates but the problem persists.. === ACodingJedi is now known as BigCoder [19:30] is Xorg what communicates between Xorg and the driver? [19:30] between Unity and the driver* [19:30] odisa: hm, yes wait [19:30] peapea: "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" to ensure the 12.04 system is totally up to date, then "do-release-upgrade" should offer you a direct upgrade to 14.04.1 [19:30] peapea: it's fine, but naturally ahead of doing an upgrade you have made backups? :) [19:30] odisa: you should delete the old xorg config [19:31] odisa: when this file wasn't deleted by uninstall of the previous driver then the problem would still persist [19:31] in the X11 folder? tried that, but I couldn't find xorg.conf [19:31] I'll try again [19:31] odisa: there is another folder in it; just search trough it for the config file [19:32] bubbasaures, ok, thank you! :) daftykins, yes, I did, thank you!

[19:45] peapea, what does lsb_release -a show [19:46] bubbasaures, it is correct, it shows ubuntu, 12.04.4, 12.04. and precise [19:47] peapea, No proxies you can run a regular update no errors? [19:47] hello, when I installed ubuntu 14.04, i did not unmount my external hard drive and as a result, now when I try to access the files on the device I am receiving an Input/Output error, can someone help me with this? [19:48] bubbasaures, no, I just ran update manager, and update-upgrade on command line [19:48] all ok [19:48] peapea, I would change the repo in software sources just to check. [19:49] peapea: dist-upgrade? :) [19:49] daftykins, I haven't run this one now [19:49] what to do if the desktop (system error, maybe nouveau/gpu related) doesn't start after the proposed upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.1 ? [19:49] peapea: if your precise install were fully updated it would read 12.04.5 right now [19:49] peapea, Another user asked you to I beleive, tought you had. [19:49] peapea: see what you get with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [19:50] SecretFire: did you restart your computer? [19:50] AMD-Z : not yet [19:50] SecretFire: try that :) [19:50] if that doesnt work i might just format it with gparted [19:51] bubbasaures, you're right, I overlooked it as normal upgrade. but I ran dist-upgrade now, too, and it is done with '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded' [19:51] kristenbb, Post the error, have you tried a safe x boot from recovery? [19:51] daftykins, it is the same, '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded' [19:52] peapea, never upgrade so I will leave you with those that know more. [19:52] I* [19:52] bubbasaures: i dont really have an error, the desktop just remains sort-of blank after the login screen. no i have not, how to? [19:53] !nomodeset | kristenbb this or the recovery gui safe x [19:53] kristenbb this or the recovery gui safe x: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [19:53] bubbasaures, thank you very much for your help! I also havent done it for years [19:53] AMD-Z : no luck [19:53] is 14.04 supposed to support the same computers that 12.04 did ? This one is fairly old (about 10 years) [19:54] Anyone, I am using xchat - I am unable to scroll past 8 pages - I have lost thread I was following on chrome on ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS [19:54] kristenbb: hello again. how old are we talking? [19:54] SecretFire: the easiest way is just a format, is there important information on it? [19:54] yea but i can replace it over time [19:54] intrader, There is a limit to scroll back, the preferences has a change [19:55] kristenbb: as in, can you share the specification? === ftw_ is now known as ftw [19:55] SecretFire: I should just go for a format then, what you can try as last is: 'sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt' followed by 'ls -la /mnt' [19:55] daftykins: hello :). About 10 years, it may not have the required graphic hardware ? in some of the errors/letters that sometimes appear, i see words like 'gpu', 'nouveau'... [19:55] SecretFire: sdb can be anything, it must be your external harddrive [19:55] AMD-Z : its weird i get the I/O error and then it automatically mounts again [19:56] bubbasaures, got it - thanks [19:56] daftykins: I think 2GB ram, maybe 2 cores. it's a laptop. [19:57] kristenbb: if you could install the package "pastebinit" then run "lspci | pastebinit" we could get an idea of what graphics that is [19:57] SecretFire: maybe some sectors are damaged, try to recover some files, format it and look if it still occurs, if it still occurs then you should check the disk for broken sectors / recovery [19:57] i tried everything [19:57] i cant save anything [19:57] daftykins: i don't have the laptop at hand, i'm just talking from memory :( [19:58] makes me want to cry :( [19:58] daftykins: but it doesn't get to a point where i could launch a terminal [19:58] kristenbb: ah i see. well, 12.04.5 is still LTS until 2017 so there'd be no hurry to upgrade. dual-core and 2GB RAM sounds fine for 14.04 though - if it feels slow, i'd consider going with xubuntu instead [19:58] SecretFire: hmm.. i see [19:59] kristenbb: oh so doesn't start up successfully? yeah definitely try xubuntu :) [19:59] it renamed it to /dev/sdd just now it was /dev/sdc1 [20:00] AMD-Z : is msdos partition table ok [20:00] isn't there a easier paint tool for ubuntu [20:00] SecretFire: do you use dualboot with windows? [20:00] gimp is a pain [20:00] daftykins: i'd like to fix it with minimum effort, i don't have access to the laptop and i wont be the one fixing it. what would you recommend to keep the data the way it was ? [20:00] especially with Unity [20:00] AMD-Z : yes [20:00] SecretFire: I would format it in windows for being sure, you can use msdos but im not sure [20:01] kristenbb: err, after reinstall? i'd have an external hard disk to backup to, then backup the user's /home on it [20:01] Hello, I am upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 but it's stuck since the past hour. What should I do? [20:02] daftykins: but is there no way to just fix this "driver" issue ? assuming it can be fixed ? or does 14.04 not support old laptops ?! [20:02] CapriKornus, Move the windows around and be sure nothing is hiding === mirage_ is now known as Guest65440 [20:02] AMD-Z : i kind of see what is going on it keeps mounting to a new location like /dev/sdd /dev/sde [20:03] samthewildone, type paint in softwarecenter, lots of them [20:03] daftykins: basically the user just pressed upgrade without knowing what it meant, and is now stuck because the desktop doesn't launch. i'd like to get him back the way it was, or fix the graphical issue [20:03] bubbasaures: Nopes, I checked, nothing is hiding behind it [20:03] CapriKornus, upgrading from 12.04 took 6 hrs - I am upgrading on lenovo t61p [20:03] CapriKornus, Stuck means what exactly? [20:04] intrader: It's been 4 hour for me till now, but at no point was it stuck [20:04] bubbasaures: Atm it is showing "Preparing xfonts-utils" [20:04] SecretFire: I have to go, talk you later, i guess someone else can help you out [20:04] AMD-Z : thanks [20:04] SecretFire: goodluck ;) [20:04] CapriKornus, sorry I am not knowledgeable enough - good luck [20:04] kristenbb: oh i see, first step would be identifying a fault in /var/log/Xorg.0.log - likely the drivers have knackered up. if it's trying to use nvidia you could remove all nvidia* packages, if it's using nouveau i'd need more info really [20:04] AMD-Z : im gonna need it [20:05] and in Terminal it says "Unpacking ttf-mscorefonts-installer (versions and stuff) [20:05] intrader: Thanks [20:05] daftykins: and how to get to a point where i could do all that ? [20:05] CapriKornus, Ah that is 3rd party, usually part of the restricted extras. [20:06] kristenbb: either from a LiveCD, or just try to access a TTY instead of the working X session (Ctrl)+Alt+F1 -> F6 [20:07] daftykins: ok and from a TTY, what commands to launch to remove all nvidia packages ? [20:07] bubbasaures: Can anything be done? If not, can I cancel the current upgrade and restart it? [20:07] i need help regarding convertall [20:07] it doesnt work for me [20:07] all it shows its "converting", but never returns a result [20:07] frustrating [20:07] CapriKornus, Probably someone knows this area, at least better than me for a good answer. [20:08] kristenbb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [20:08] Okay thanks for trying [20:08] hey all, i'm trying to download a package. It wants me to add a line to my sources.list.. how can i do this from the command line [20:08] daftykins: could it just be that the graphical card doesn't support 3D ? I remember that in earlier ubuntu versions, one had the opportunity to have unity 2D or unity 3D, and then unity 3D was used by default. What version was that choice made in ? [20:09] CapriKornus, Chances are you will have to stop it and run a command to restart it, just wait for help. === erry_ is now known as erry [20:09] kristenbb: it'll definitely be needing graphics working properly to show the desktop yeah, so i'd just identify the card model from 'lspci' and go from there, nouveau should work fine for most all older systems though [20:09] kristenbb: it's hard to give you any more suggestions without knowing more sadly [20:10] Anyone following the trouble with google chrome. I have removed it via `sudo apt-get --purge autoremove google-chrome-stable` and then followed instructions at http://tecadmin.net/install-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/. It is workable except for minor problems: 1. starts only from terminal, 2. errors to terminal as shown b http://pastebin.com/ged28xcU oastebin === kpease_ is now known as kpease [20:10] AMD-Z: apparently Unity Plugin was disabled.. I enabled it in ccsm, but still no go.. any ideas? [20:10] intrader: create a launcher for it, and it should not be restricted to terminal [20:11] Hello, I have nokia booklet 3g. I got some sound issue such as the sound of crackling. [20:12] daftykins: but please do teach me a bit of the different cases that could be going on, so that i can help the user fix it. So far, what I seem to understand is that you suggest to run 'sudo lscpi' from ctrl+alt+F1, which will tell what driver the gpu is using, and then, assuming it's using nvidia (which it probably is), just remove all nvidia packages with sudo apt-get remove nvidia*, and restart the computer, which will then fall back to nouveau. [20:13] klemax, What ubuntu release, and crackling on what speakers, or headphones? [20:13] kristenbb: no need for sudo with lspci, nope. reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log is handy too, it'll be quite obvious in that file how to realise if something's wrong. [20:14] bubbasaures: while watching some videos on youtube... [20:14] bubbasaures: Any idea how much time I should wait? It's been an hour almost I think [20:15] CapriKornus, I meant wait for help basically, are you backed up? [20:15] daftykins: anything else i should know ? is there a tool from command line to choose the default driver to use ? [20:15] bubbasaures: and ubuntu 12.04 [20:16] bubbasaures: Not really (oops) [20:16] kristenbb: that would be a moot point after removing all nvidia* packages. unfortunately experience can't really be taught! [20:16] klemax, And the computer, or external speakers or headphones and is this every sound you are accessing? Read te questions carefully. [20:16] I had a portable 1 TB HDD, but it crashed last month, so I couldn't [20:17] kristenbb: I just happened to be messing around with installing nVidia drivers, and can confirm purging nvidia* reverts the driver back to nouveau [20:17] daftykins: hehe. but maybe you can tell me, from your experience, what are the most common cases and their solution for this problem :) [20:17] bubbasaures: computer or external speakers. [20:17] kristenbb: To know which driver is used, you'll need "lspci -k", I usually recommend "lspci -knn" so that the device [vendor:product] is shown, which is what device drivers match to [20:17] CapriKornus, Without a backup I can't feel confident. [20:18] klemax, Every single sound instance? [20:18] TJ-: thanks i'll be sure to try that [20:18] Just my luck [20:18] odisa: thanks for the info [20:18] bubbasaures: yeah exactly. [20:19] I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and cups isnt working properly. Can anyone help please [20:19] klemax, Not sure really, does it do this from a live as well? [20:19] bubbasaures: yes it does, and my audio device is Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller (rev 07) [20:20] sure thing kristenbb [20:20] daftykins: so to circle back, are you sure that this kind of problem (login showing, but desktop not showing afterwards, with 'system error' (asking to send the report) and some white lines about gpu and such) could be related to a wrong gpu driver ? [20:20] bubbasaures: is it related to kernel? [20:20] klemax, No ideas. [20:21] bubbasaures: ok thanks for your interest. [20:21] so while on the topic of nVidia drivers.. I've been trying to get it to work, and with some help I've managed to succesfully install the nvidia driver, but Unity / the desktop is just frozen.. the only way to get anything on it is from tty and using export DISPLAY=:0 [20:22] kristenbb: oh, sounds like we're having similar issues [20:22] odisa: not if you login and see a picture, no [20:22] kristenbb: hmm, i'd try a unity reset first too, info available online [20:22] i must go now unfortunately, so good luck [20:22] daftykins: ohh good point [20:22] daftykins: :( [20:23] daftykins: will you be there tomorrow, at around the same hour ? [20:24] kristenbb: hmm, hard to say. will you have the laptop then? i'm sure anyone will be able to help at that time. === Guest19376 is now known as nesthib [20:24] daftykins: ok i'll try again tomorrow, thx.

Can anyone help please? Or is it possible to revert the changes? === kpease is now known as kpease_ [20:37] CapriKornus: so you're reinstalling? [20:38] reisio: No, I got the upgrade option today for 12.04 to 14.04, so I was doing that [20:38] oh okay [20:38] CapriKornus: The upgrader generate logs as it works, you should check the ends of those out for clues as to where/if it as got stuck [20:39] reisio: But it is stuck now, so I don't know what to do, hoping someone might help out. Can't even open System Monitor [20:39] TJ-: Can you tell me location of log file please? === theadmin|ghost is now known as theadmin [20:39] CapriKornus: I *think* they'll be at "/var/log/dist-upgrade/" or something similar - look for the most recently changed directories with "ls -latr /var/log" to identify the most recent log changes [20:39] TJ-: Alright I will check it out now === kpease_ is now known as kpease [20:44] TJ-: So I checked the log files and under apt-term.log, the log has gone much ahead than what it is showing me on screen. So hopefully it is working in background, do you think? [20:45] CapriKornus: is the CPU usage doing more than idling too? [20:46] TJ-: According to log file, the last line it is showing me is line 11932, but log file extends to 12808 lines atm [20:46] TJ-: I don't know, I can't open System Monitor :( [20:47] CapriKornus: "top" in the terminal [20:47] TJ- what could be wrong with my failed upgrade? === james is now known as Guest38435 === WINDOWSFAG is now known as windowsrage [20:49] TJ-: It's showing me a system monitor of sorts, what should I check for in that? === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [20:49] i have a driver issue hope someone can help me with [20:50] good evening [20:50] when i put the live cd my wireless was not working... i have an intel xeon E3 1200 series, when i go to additional drives it doesn't show...can anyone help [20:51] CapriKornus: do you see any processes using more than say 1-2% of CPU time, consistently? Which would indicate they are doing something more than waiting around [20:52] TJ-: Well, there's chrome, xorg, gnome-shell but other than those, nothing [20:52] CapriKornus: You can press "i" to toggle the reporting on idle processes, leaving them off makes it easier to watch the active processes [20:53] CapriKornus: But it sounds like the installer might have stalled at some point... it's latest logs should show what it is doing and I seem to recall there should be timestamps so you know when things last happened [20:54] TJ-: the same as I mentioned earlier, plus kworker and gnome-term [20:55] TJ-: I will check again [20:56] What are those desktop widgets called, like the active clock and stuff [20:56] is ubuntu debian sid? :O === christoph is now known as Guest26478 [20:57] netlar: desktop widgets [20:57] Extensa5630G: The short answer is "no". [20:57] gnome shell extensions? [20:57] gadgets? [20:57] reisio: yes what are they called [20:57] that's what they're called [20:57] TJ-: Under main.log, last line is "2014-08-14 00:01:39,252 DEBUG got a conffile-prompt from dpkg for file: '/etc/bluetooth/main.conf'" [20:57] Hi ppl! [20:58] reisio: well where can I get these [20:58] hi root [20:58] Extensa5630G, ubuntu is pulled from the unstable but developed under ubuntu. [20:58] netlar: gnome.org [20:58] Extensa5630G: yes it is [20:58] bubbasaures: so it is very close to debian sid? [20:58] reisio: they are the active ones? [20:58] TJ-: It is 2:28 AM my time, so it's been almost an hour [20:58] Extensa5630G: incredibly close [20:58] reisio: hey [20:58] hey [20:58] CapriKornus: That suggests somewhere on the screen should be a dialog asking for input...have you tried minimising all other windows to see if it is hidden? [20:58] Extensa5630G, Not close enough to mix installs if that is the issue. [20:59] it isn't :) [20:59] CapriKornus: Sounds like a prompt asking about the Bluetooth (bluez) package's config file changes [20:59] bubbasaures: sorry what you mean by mixing installs? [20:59] Extensa5630G: he was guessing what you were interested in [20:59] Extensa5630G, What is your end goal? [20:59] Well as usual thanks lol [20:59] he was trying to decide between Debian and Ubuntu [20:59] but didn't know that Ubuntu was based on Debian unstable [21:00] he's here for confirmation [21:00] bubbasaures: i'm wondering in this darkness of illiteracy [21:00] TJ-: Yes it was there earlier about the modified config file. I went with overwrite of my manual config. That was earlier than the stuck part [21:00] Extensa5630G, Are you trying to choose a distro? [21:00] CapriKornus: Hmmm, did the dialog not properly go away I wonder? [21:01] bubbasaures: debian wheezy cannot support most of my gaming activities in linux, and ubuntu seems to be the suitable one, given that i want to learn linux and sys admin , so i came to get answers [21:01] TJ-: Also no more hidden input screens, I don't have anything open except the upgrade, chrome for chat, nautilus and terminal [21:02] CapriKornus: I'm not sure then, the logs seem to indicate it is still awaiting the input [21:02] exit [21:02] quit [21:02] bye [21:03] Extensa5630G, More specific questions would help, while understanding this is a support channel on installs or trying to install ubuntu. [21:03] d'oh [21:04] well he already got his answer [21:04] yes I'm really ignoring you reisio [21:04] hey [21:04] * Extensa5630G hides in reisio 's pocket. [21:04] bubbasaures: I believe you [21:04] BadBoy203: heyo [21:04] no faking [21:05] bubbasaures: :) [21:05] heyyyyyyy [21:05] ! [21:05] TJ-: According to apt-term.log, the input was @ line 2721, but then it has proceeded to line 12808 where it is now stuck [21:05] So quite a bit of work was done after that [21:06] bubbasaures: my question was wondering whether it is worth it to move from debian(wheezy in my case) to ubuntu for a distro that supports most of the games in the linux world and the sys admin and linux coding stuff [21:06] there's many, even catholic online (!!!) is posting them: http://catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56490 http://catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56507 === miqui_ is now known as miqui [21:06] sry, wrong channel! [21:06] Hey guys I am going to be reformatting my computer to install 14.04 properly, because the upgrade messed up plenty of things...What is the best way to backup my home folder?! so I can keep all the file permissions and be able to access all my SSH keys, etc [21:06] Extensa5630G: why not just move to debian unstable [21:06] YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THOSE LINKS [21:07] !ot | jotik [21:07] jotik: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:07] bubbasaures: He knows, he apologised. [21:07] bubbasaures: I'm sorry. [21:07] reisio: folks advised me to keep the stable, the unstable is buggy enough to be avoided [21:08] good for them [21:08] CapriKornus: OK... well you're the guy on the spot, with the resources, I can't really help much more. You could look at all the running processes and their command lines and figure out if one of those is related to the installer and suggests it might be stuck doing something, I use "ps -efly" for that [21:08] Psil0Cybin: Probably best to use external storage. Burn it to a DVD, or use rsync to copy it, use tar to create a tarball and copy it somewhere safe. [21:09] that is what i do not understnad, can i use a hard drive? The laptop in question does not have a CD Drive. [21:09] Is there a guide so i do not ask simple questions here on how to use rsync? [21:09] how to properly, transfer over information so i do not lose permissions etc [21:09] i have a problem when i open intrenet explorer in ubuntu it crashes === edo is now known as Guest27847 [21:09] Psil0Cybin: Of course you can use a hard drive for backup. [21:09] well its an external drive, so i would format it to be ext4? correct? [21:09] !backup [21:09] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:09] prior to putting my files there. [21:10] Psil0Cybin: If the external drive is an ext filesystem you can just copy the files. [21:10] really? wow [21:10] that seems simple.. [21:10] Psil0Cybin: If it's not, you can still preserve ownershio & permissions by using tar. [21:10] TJ-: Ok, I will check that out [21:10] oh wowww...okay [21:10] i need to read those links prior to doing this [21:10] Psil0Cybin: The file attributes will be stored inside the tarball and can be restored. [21:11] so mayybe ill make a back up both methods just incase, make a tar ball and just try and copy the files onto the hard drive with that is ext4 [21:11] just incase [21:11] Psil0Cybin: You can also create a compressed tarball easily using bzip or gzip. bzip is generally the most efficient. [21:12] wowowow, that easy huh [21:12] and when i install the new system i can just copy over all the files.... [21:12] and it should be good to go? [21:12] cd /home && tar -czvf backup.tgz ./myhomedir [21:12] or do i need to do some manual configurations in order to adapt to my old changes. === Mantis_ is now known as DarkMantis === khaitanya is now known as Guest4419 [21:13] TJ-: I'm sorry, I can make neither heads nor tails of that. Is it possible for you to look at if I paste it? === aljosa_ is now known as aljosa [21:13] Psil0Cybin: Configuration changes in /esc might be something to preserve, but if you're not upgrading then there's no way to handle changes in syntax. [21:13] TJ-: I'm sorry, I can make neither heads nor tails of that. Is it possible for you to look at if I paste it? [21:13] How do I make rsyslog read a new config file === homebrew_ is now known as homebrew === vidplace7_ is now known as vidplace7 [21:14] I put a config file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ but its not routing to the specified file [21:14] the file doesnt exist === maedox_ is now known as maedox === yeshuah_ is now known as yeshuah [21:14] Psil0Cybin: When I'm migrating to a new system I will sometimes create a backup of esc, but rather than restore it I'll copy it to a backup location on the new server so that I can compare old config files with new ones. [21:14] does rsyslog not create a file if it doesn't exist? === Lartza is now known as Guest52935 [21:14] jhutchins, so would i also backl up /etc/ or erc [21:14] yea [21:14] that is a good idea! [21:14] so i would back up [21:14] mlindner: It can. Restart it. [21:14] "/home" "/etc" and "/var" just incase? [21:15] i mostly just want my SSH keys, GPG Keys, etc, inforamtion that is uniqie [21:15] i cannot recreate [21:15] so im thinking the home directory might even be enough [21:15] Psil0Cybin: I don't think you need /var unless you're using mysql for soemthing [21:15] Psil0Cybin: please don't press so often [21:16] jhutchins, if im using ext4 hard drive, could i not just open up the home directory on my newly installed machine and just copy and paste files over? sorry I did not understand that simple question...or is it more complex? [21:16] Psil0Cybin: Possibly crontabs in /var/spool/cron and mail in /var/spool/mail. [21:16] jhutchins: I tried that [21:16] TJ-: Please see if this helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8039550/ [21:16] jhutchins: file not created [21:16] jhutchins: even tried restarting my system and no luck [21:16] Psil0Cybin: Yes, that will work. === badon_ is now known as badon [21:17] Okay sounds amazing! [21:17] mlindner: Possibly you need to create the file yourself (and in logrotate). [21:18] jhutchins: so it doesn't create the files automatically? [21:18] jhutchins: whats the proper way of doing this? [21:18] I can't be the only one seeing this, wireshark capture options screen won't resize and it's driving me crazy! [21:18] The buttons to cancel or save the options is below the bottom of the screen. Has anyone else seen this??? [21:18] mlindner: You might pastebin your conf file and maybe someone will recognise what's going on.

[21:43] david38400: tar files don't care about architecture.

Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [22:22] Ive also tried the ip of that fqdn and still nothing daftykins [22:23] DVA5912: what exactly does "won't go through" mean? [22:24] Loshki "Wont Go Through" means wont authenticate the correct user and pass [22:24] hey, having this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/510470/ubuntu-not-booting-properly-after-update-black-screen-with-cursor [22:24] anyone able to help? [22:24] DVA5912: and does the same username/pass work when you log on to the server's console? [22:24] DVA5912: could be a firewall config issue, but yeah until you're home we won't get far diagnosing! [22:24] Loshki That is afirmative [22:25] ubuntu won't boot [22:25] DVA5912: and it's not root? There are special rules for root logins... [22:25] fdjksl: #ubuntu+1 for utopic. it's not final yet [22:25] daftykins wouldnt a firewal config issue phorhibit me from even getting the prompt [22:25] Loshki nope its definently not root [22:25] DVA5912: you'd think so, but i've seen crazier things [22:25] so what should i do? [22:25] good evening [22:26] daftykins heh! Well then i shall just wait till i get home. They cant keep me here forever!!! even if i am salaried -.- [22:26] also it might not be a problem with me using an unstable version [22:26] fdjksl: well, we can't help you in here when running an unstable version, policy is policy i'm afraid. [22:26] i updated a tonnnn of stuff without looking at what it was [22:27] sigh [22:27] fdjksl: Dunno. Drop back to a better supported version? [22:27] not sure how i'll be able to fix this [22:27] just join the other channel. [22:27] how? [22:27] fdjksl been there.. My fix was to wipe and reload [22:27] clean install? [22:27] fdjksl: well in future don't upgrade to non-final releases. [22:27] i wasn't really paying attention, just hit y to every option in the update thing in GRUG [22:27] *GRUB [22:28] daftykins: amen... [22:28] anyway guess i'll do that [22:29] * Loshki and with that, fdjksl disappeared, poof! [22:29] test [22:29] failed [22:29] Test => failed... Go to home [22:30] Anyone know how to get rsyslog to recognize new config files pointing to new log files without doing a pkill on it? [22:30] zo: loud and clear. If you have a Ubuntu support question, ask it now.... [22:30] mlindner: kill -HUP used to work on many apps to get them to reread their configs. Tried it? [22:30] Loshki: yeah no luck [22:31] Loshki: it reloads but doesn't grab the new config [22:31] so weird [22:31] sdfgsd [22:31] mlindner: if you can code, I'd look at the source at this point. Not for everyone I understand.... [22:32] qu'est ce que je fais ici???? [22:33] !fr | zo [22:33] zo: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [22:33] Hello, I'm trying to get apache-mono-server working with a version of mono later than 3.2.8, installing the latest version of mono from source does not seem to have any effect, any ideas how I can achieve this? [22:37] good evening, all [22:37] bey === kpease_ is now known as kpease [22:38] i'm having an issue with a slow wireless connection. i've upgraded my kernel drivers to the latest (3.16.0), but it hasn't resolved anything [22:38] ar mba mis mten FR ian ato an!! === eniLCP_ is now known as PCLine_ [22:39] sooo I guess no one here knows either? [22:39] reinstall et c'est fini [22:39] window 1 [22:40] !fr | zo [22:40] zo: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [22:41] zo: ar mba mis mten FR ian ato an!! <-- er, what language is this? [22:41] LaylC, I don't know but apache-mono-server for running C# instead of using IIS? [22:41] Hi. [22:41] Loshki, I can't tell but closest guess from some words was french [22:41] wafflejock, apache-mono-server is for running ASP.NET with apache yea [22:42] I'm trying to add Jenkins to sudoers in ubuntu 14.04 and cant get it to work. Anyone got an example line with NOPASSWD? [22:42] Loshki, ah didn't notice you had already ubottued for fr sorry for the repeat all [22:43] emilcardell, yeah one minute [22:43] how to set zsh as my default in gnome-terminal? [22:43] wafflejock: np, I wonder if zo will catch on though... [22:43] emilcardell, oh wait I'm using 12.04 [22:44] emilcardell, did the 12.04 setup not work on 14.04? [22:44] nope [22:44] wafflejock: Don't thinks so. Do I need to restart the service using that user? [22:45] Loshki: malagasy [22:45] emilcardell: I usually just add the user to the sudo group. Then you need to logout/login again for it to take effect... [22:45] emilcardell, jenkins ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/mkdir, /bin/rm, /bin/cp, /bin/tar, /bin/chown, /sbin/start, /sbin/stop [22:45] emilcardell, think I restarted Jenkins after the change [22:45] zo: don't know if we have a group for that! [22:45] sudo service jenkins restart [22:45] wafflejock: jenkins is a service? [22:46] yeah it runs as a Java service on port 8080 [22:46] I just installed from the repos [22:46] velomadôl e! za nde atory!! bonne nuit [22:46] wafflejock: The pattern in the sudoers file now for root ie is root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL [22:46] emilcardell, yeah I have the same for root [22:47] sooo anyone has any ideas? perhaps a more up to date apt package repo to download it from? [22:47] wafflejock: If I need it for all paths and stuff? [22:47] emilcardell, well it works on all paths I'm just telling it what commands it can use [22:47] I'm not sure how to open that up but I like that it's restricted to some degree [22:48] wafflejock: running a lump of java as root makes me nervous, but I suppose it's not much different than running any other program. Still... [22:48] it can only sudo with those commands listed so if I need to do something in a makefile with sudo or whatever I add it [22:49] the jenkins user shouldn't have a login shell either so no-one can actually login as that user [22:51] also good to use fail2ban and change your ssh port and use key pairs instead of normal password logins [22:51] but so much to do when securing something it's hard to list everything, I trust jenkins though [22:51] Wellll if no one here knows anything either I guess it's impossible to run a slightly different version of mono [22:52] LaylC, probably not impossible just unknown :P [22:52] hi guys, how do I install wine under linux?! [22:52] !wine [22:52] how come it's unknown how to just run a newer version of a thing [22:52] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [22:53] LaylC, well if the package maintainers/repo managers haven't added a newer version it's because it hasn't been tested or it didn't work when they tested it [22:53] hi I hope I am in the right place for ubuntu support [22:53] LaylC, so then you have the option of trying to compile the source yourself for a given app and get all the dependencies and whatnot then debug errors but it doesn't mean it's impossible... I just don't know anything about that package [22:53] yes, ask away bobana [22:54] ubottu: thanks [22:54] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [22:54] wafflejock, well I can compile it fine from source, but for some reason it seems to install in a slightly different version than where apache-mono-server expects it [22:55] LaylC, perhaps you can get around it with symbolic links or change the install target with a config parameter when "making" the binaries [22:55] thank you. I was trying to get my friend's ip address so that I could open all his ports through our router's DMZ function. I tried ip neigh, but this didn't give anything useful. so I installed arp-scan, but now am getting an internal error having to do with something called telepathy crashing [22:55] or, not open his ports, but let the router's firewall down so he can play his game [22:55] but only on his computer [22:55] I tried symlinks but it ended up not finding the mono dll files it needed [22:56] bobana, probably better to just forward the ports on the router config [22:56] bobana, most routers have a LAN/DHCP client list when you login [22:56] Loshki: it appears you need to do pkill rsyslogd when the config file you just placed didn't exist at all previously and you only need pkill -HUP rsyslogd when the config file existed previously and you just want to re-create the log file === kpease is now known as kpease_ [22:57] thank you wafflejock. it is giving me something like looks like 10.0.0.2 [22:57] LaylC, if it's looking for dlls it might be targetting Windows not Linux during the build, typically in linux you have .so files (shared object) not dll (dynamically linked libraries) [22:57] is that all I need to add? [22:58] wafflejock, no, mono is a .NET port, and .NET libraries are DLLs [22:58] anyone knows a good way to find out why a /etc/init.d job doesn't start on boot? I can start the service perfectly through the console. it has also been registered for boot with rrconf [22:58] mlindner: thanks for reporting back with this. It seems like a mis-feature... [22:58] bobana, type route -n in a terminal to see the gateway [22:58] I'm now looking at Xamarin's own package repo, but the pacakges in there are called "mono-snapshot-", so they won't be picked up from there as dependencies [22:59] I have a Realtek rtl8192cu, and am having issues with a slow connection. i can only get a max of about 2MB/s down. i've tried upgrading my kernel to the latest version, as well as the relevant steps listed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/482564/realtek-rtl8188ce-desconects-randomly-and-features-slow-connections [22:59] anyway, when I look up the information through router admin for his computer, it doesn't give me anything that looks like a usable ip address [22:59] does anyone have any other suggestions for things to try? [22:59] bobana, what OS is his computer? [23:00] bobana, also do you know how to use the terminal? [23:00] it is giving me destinations, gateways. (windows 7 i think) [23:00] i am learning terminal [23:00] bobana, okay well wrong support channel but in a command prompt in windows you can type ipconfig to get the network info including gateway [23:00] whic hwould be the right support channel? [23:01] or I'll find it [23:01] bobana, then you'll want to type in the gateway address in a browser login to the router (default username/password) or whatever then look for LAN or DHCP configuration there you should see a list of clients [23:01] but thank you for humoring me [23:01] bobana, np just saying sometimes the admins in here get upset when it's not Linux support [23:01] wafflejock: Problem was else where. It worked. Thanks. [23:01] I know how to access a router. Oh okay. [23:01] emilcardell, np glad you got it sorted [23:01] well, the linux support I needed was the internal system error I encountered after installing arp-scan [23:02] bobana, ah okay well on a linux machine you can use: route -n [23:02] in a terminal [23:02] that'll show you the gateway [23:02] that'll be the router IP [23:02] thank you wafflejock, that's a new way to get the router IP that i didn't know before. but what to do about this internal error? [23:02] bobana, not sure about arp-scan not really something I've used [23:02] oh okay [23:03] it was supposed to give me his ip address when ip neighbor didn't work. I am more worried about this internal error [23:03] but ifconfig in linux or ipconfig in windows will show you the client machines IP too [23:03] bobana, internal error is a generic error so don't fret too much [23:04] oh okay. I am new to linux so I appreciate ya'lls' patience [23:04] timhansen, safe to assume you tried with wired ethernet and get higher speeds? [23:04] Hey guys. I have a Raid 0 setup and I just tried to repair a bad superblock. I am ssh'd into the machine in which I was doing this; and I got a broken pipe. I am now able to mount the remote HD. HOWEVER, I cannot access my data and the HD's appears to be filled to capacity. I have a lost+found file full of some files that I believe were files being moved around when I received a broken pipe. Can anyone help me retrieve my data? [23:04] thank you [23:04] I [23:04] bobana, np newbies welcome [23:04] I'm pretty desperate [23:04] wafflejock, yes. i also have winblows installed, and get higher speeds (the 25-27 that my ISP has allotted me) [23:05] Anyone? :/ [23:05] jr_, that sounds sort of aweful sorry to hear it don't know much about RAID on ubuntu but ddrescue has helped me recover data from DVDs that were very questionable [23:06] wafflejock: It is :(. I'll look into ddrescue, but it is on a remote host. [23:06] test [23:07] affirmative linux_ [23:07] wafflejock: how do I interface with this program? [23:08] jr_, it's command line just like dd but does multiple attempts/passes to recover data on media that has problems, but like I said really unsure about anything RAID related [23:08] wafflejock: Yeah, unfortunately this raid had a file that contained all of my various account info... [23:09] For work,school, etc. [23:09] everything [23:09] and my computer had the same file, but it had some terrible crash and had an encrypted home folder that I never finished setting up. SO I couldn't even retrieve it [23:09] sooo...yeah [23:09] ouch [23:09] wafflejock: yup [23:09] yeah I don't do the encrypted FS stuff cause of worries like that [23:10] also backup my keypassDB to a NAS and have a copy (albeit sometimes dated) on a flash drive [23:10] wafflejock: it was a double whammy at once. Never happened to me before [23:10] that sucks try to provide as much info as you can about the current situation (might be good to pastebin or post on one of the stackoverflow or serverfault or something) [23:11] timhansen, have you seen this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1132381 [23:11] Launchpad bug 1132381 in linux (Ubuntu) "0586:341f rtl8192cu drivers very low dl-speed" [Medium,Expired] [23:11] wafflejock: yeah. if it comes to it I will have to [23:11] ubottu, says it should be handled but also curious if you've tried (or realtek supplies) drivers instead of getting them from the repo or using whatever is built into the kernel? [23:11] wafflejock: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:12] I know ubottu [23:14] wafflejock, i have not seen that, however, the last post there was back in '13. they were using kernel 3.8 & 3.9, whereas i'm running 3.16 [23:14] currently trying out the steps listed here: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7 [23:14] timhansen, still maybe worth trying realtek supplied drivers if they exist since it seems to be a problematic chipset with the kernel drivers [23:15] timhansen, ah k good luck [23:15] wafflejock, thanks [23:17] wafflejock: I just unmounted the disk and am hoping that executing the last command will let it just pick up where it left off....though I doubt I will be that lucky [23:18] gah! === badon_ is now known as badon [23:20] jr__, yeah I know rsync can recover from where it was usually and journaling file systems write a log of what operations will happen to the disk before they're done so usually fsck can fix stuff (also checks the inodes that are like file descriptor/pointers) [23:21] but in terms of the nitty gritty and dealing with RAID I just have 0 experience [23:21] jr__ what command were you running when it choked? [23:21] jr__ also check top to see if it's still executing maybe [23:21] the broken pipe might have just been a disconnect from ssh for some reason [23:28] Hi Everyone === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [23:32] apparently andybrine has a bad connection or is very impatient [23:32] sorry wafflejock I am having problems with connection [23:33] hah ah okay was half joking you here about your connection problems? [23:33] help [23:33] !details | screen [23:33] screen: 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) [23:35] its strange Polari just stops for some reason and then empathy connects the channel [23:35] just wanted to test Polari out [23:36] haven't tried Polari, I'm using XChat right now and have used Quassel in KDE [23:37] yeah, I like Quassel [23:37] I use thunderbird for most of my stuff at this point since I just switched to gnome [23:37] yeah quassel was nice, XChat is okay [23:37] works really well. Im loving the new gnome and thought I would try it out as its included [23:38] andybrine, weird I don't see Polari and I have Ubuntu Gnome as well [23:38] you get 14.04.1 ? [23:38] you may have to install 3.12 [23:39] I upgraded to gnome 3.12 last week and got all the updates [23:39] hi all! if want to setup an SSH tunnel between remote PC to my Ubuntu, do I need to forward 22 from my route to the PC ? [23:39] I mean, remote PC to my Ubuntu PC @ home [23:40] I would not worry about it not being fully tested now like some of the articles suggest [23:40] it works flawlessly for me [23:41] hello. i cant seem to find the restart buttons after upgrading. what is the restart command please :) [23:42] Why won't ubuntu let me use my DVD drive for this DVD? [23:42] It just keeps saying IO error when I use vlc media player. [23:44] evil_dan2wik, have you installed restricted extras and followed the dvd guide ? [23:44] !dvd [23:44] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:45] evil_dan2wik, besides this, not ALL dvd's will play. [23:45] OerHeks, I used this DVD in VLC media player on windows, and VLC media player is the same on mac, linux, and windows. [23:46] evil_dan2wik, sure, but read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs for css script etc [23:46] evil_dan2wik: not quite, the missing library to play commercial DVDs is missing :> [23:46] E: Package 'libdvdcss2' has no installation candidate [23:46] even VLC has codecs, it cannot decypt [23:47] evil_dan2wik: that's libdecss2 i think [23:47] that was on the page I was linked [23:48] daftykins, E: Unable to locate package libdecss2 [23:48] ah, no idea then [23:48] sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh # and reboot [23:49] OerHeks, I can't reboot. [23:49] wat. [23:49] of course you can [23:50] no, I mean, I have things running on this system that other people depend on. [23:50] and you're playing DVDs on a 'production' system, nice :) [23:51] you ought to design your setup better :) [23:51] daftykins, school system, not mine. [23:51] school 0o [23:51] Also, I just unplugged the DVD drive and plugged it back in, no need for reboot [23:53] if that works, have fun [23:55] ubottu: what are those legal reasons?!

[23:57] good morning #ubuntu - is there any way to lock in a package to a certain version so that Update Manager doesn't attempt to upgrade it? [23:57] and at the tender age of 13-15 too :/ [23:57] I'm in a pickle with xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin crashing when it upgrades to 1.4 [23:57] yeah, first 11 bytes :-D [23:57] Fall: look into apt pinning, don't know how but that's the term [23:57] daftykins: thank you very much I'll have a look [23:58] *tips hat* [23:58] * Fall slinks back to idling [23:58] pinning and distro-upgrade does not work AFAIK
