[00:01] <_unreal_> ok so    plugininstall.p is running and using a lot like 6% cpu
[00:04] <Loshki> _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] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <noud_is_nol> pre
[00:05] <Psil0Cybin> I am using xfce.
[00:05] <noud_is_nol> i have to peek,real, whats i am using
[00:06] <noud_is_nol> i did, LXDE and GNOME2
[00:06] <noud_is_nol> oeps..and touch ofcourse
[00:07] <Loshki> Psil0Cybin: I don't know the first thing about hibernation. Have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate ?
[00:07] <TJ-> _unreal_: Loshki I wonder if that plugininstall could be looping, waiting for a download. _unreal ... does the Installer have a network connection?
[00:08] <OerHeks> noud_is_nol, gnome2 is dead
[00:08] <noud_is_nol> i very know, have port GNOME3
[00:08] <noud_is_nol> (for a certain Unix-that-has-no-udev)
[00:09] <Loshki> 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] <noud_is_nol> am just thinking in code
[00:10] <noud_is_nol> not do..think ;)
[00:10] <noud_is_nol> bad joke
[00:10] <_unreal_> pkill -9 modprobe got it going
[00:10] <TJ-> 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] <Loshki> _unreal_: well done. Wish we'd found that 10 minutes ago :-)
[00:10] <noud_is_nol> damit, i just failed to sneek into ##Unix using irc.ubuntu.com .. damit
[00:11] <noud_is_nol> pls tell 88
[00:11] <SecretFire> im trying to do a sudo chown -R command to my external hdd but i keep getting a I/O error can someone help me fix this? It says that it cannot access the directory because of an I/O error.
[00:11] <noud_is_nol> not
[00:11] <_unreal_> install hangs at "configuring bcmwl-kernel-source" looks like its a network hanging issue
[00:11] <TJ-> _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] <TJ-> _unreal_: Ahhh... you answered that one!
[00:12] <Loshki> TJ-: yeah, but *you* called it first...
[00:12] <TJ-> 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] <Loshki> 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] <SecretFire> ext4
[00:13] <noud_is_nol> real bad news it is
[00:13] <TJ-> _unreal_: You mean send output to a pastebin?
[00:13] <_unreal_> no
[00:13] <_unreal_> past and in ctrl+v
[00:13] <Loshki> 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] <Loshki> SecretFire: and the exact chown command you used, for completeness...
[00:13] <TJ-> _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] <TJ-> s/VY/VT/
[00:14] <SecretFire> 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] <TJ-> _unreal_: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/kern.log"
[00:17] <Loshki> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : not really its replacabe
[00:18] <Loshki> _unreal_: apt-get should still work if you can get a terminal
[00:18] <TJ-> _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] <TJ-> _unreal_: If so, do "cp /var/log/kern.log /target/var/log/kern-installer-bcm-failure.log"
[00:19] <Loshki> SecretFire: ok, you need to unmount the disk, and run fsck on the partition
[00:19] <TJ-> _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] <SecretFire> ok
[00:20] <Loshki> _unreal_: bear in mind this won't be the last bug you encounter in 14.04...
[00:20] <Loshki> SecretFire: the fsck is running?
[00:21] <_unreal_> installed one second
[00:22] <SecretFire> Loshki : the command is?
[00:24] <_unreal_> tj got it http://paste.ubuntu.com/8031239/
[00:25] <SecretFire> Loshki : im not sure how to do the command when its not mounted
[00:28] <Loshki> SecretFire: you need the partition name, it'll probably be /dev/sd<something>. Look through /etc/fstab and see if it's there...
[00:29] <TJ-> _unreal_: thanks
[00:29] <Loshki> SecretFire: if you want, you can pastebin the file so we can see it...
[00:29] <SecretFire> ok
[00:29] <_unreal_> I'll be back its begging me to reboot
[00:30] <K350> Is there a tool that lists/prints out  directories and files like a tree on in the terminal?
[00:30] <TandyUK> K350: ls -R ?
[00:30] <SecretFire> Loshki : its /dev/sdc1
[00:31] <OerHeks> !info tree
[00:31] <TJ-> _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] <TJ-> _unreal_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[00:31] <Loshki> SecretFire: excellent. Ok, next step is sudo fsck -p /dev/sdc1. Depending on its size, this could take a long time.
[00:33] <Loshki> _unreal_: TJ-: I love a happy ending...
[00:33] <SecretFire> Loshki : http://pastebin.com/F3D985Rh
[00:33] <administrador_> ??
[00:33] <Loshki> SecretFire: Did you unmount it first? sudo umount /dev/sdc1
[00:34] <TJ-> _unreal_: Let me know the bug report number here, and I'll assign myself to it and investigate
[00:34] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <Psil0Cybin> so someone cannot use my computer to get into the shell when i am unattended
[00:35] <SecretFire> Loshki :http://pastebin.com/iKtdUkMp
[00:36] <Psil0Cybin> Anyone know why the SSH key passphrase screen is via a GUI instead of terminal on Ubuntu 14.04?
[00:37] <Loshki> 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] <Psil0Cybin> How can i make it ask me via terminal, and ask me every time I try to SSH into that computer?
[00:38] <Loshki> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : http://pastebin.com/cTmWh37E
[00:38] <Psil0Cybin> okay
[00:38] <rypervenche> Psil0Cybin: You may have created a password for your keyring or something.
[00:38] <Psil0Cybin> so type SSH help? Its wierd I never saw this GUI before, but its a default one..
[00:39] <Psil0Cybin> No it asks for my SSH passphrase
[00:39] <Psil0Cybin> then keeps me logged in if i logout and try to access it again
[00:39] <Psil0Cybin> so i do not type in my password again, but i want too for security reasons
[00:39] <rypervenche> Psil0Cybin: Then you probably have the Gnome keyring thing doing that with ssh-agent.
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> how can i get it to use xubuntu defaults
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> can i change how the ssh agent handles it?
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> I really want to be able to type it via the terminal like in 12.04
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> :(
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> but I removed ubuntu-desktop...already
[00:40] <rypervenche> Psil0Cybin: Is gnome-keyring installed?
[00:40] <Psil0Cybin> let me check
[00:41] <Psil0Cybin> what is the command to do it without installing anything?
[00:41] <Loshki> SecretFire: Please re-run & pastebin 3) sudo fdisk -l 4) cat /etc/fstab
[00:48] <urda> with `iftop` how can I use an inverse filter? I want to NOT see traffic on port 1234 for example
[00:48] <Psil0Cybin> if i remove gnome-keyring to get rid of the GUI? Will I lose all my Key information?!
[00:49] <Psil0Cybin> I do not want to use the GUI and use the standard SSH way of entering my password, etc
[00:49] <Psil0Cybin> so it does not keep me logged in or remember my SSH passphrases
[00:50] <urda> got it, use 'not' (face-desk)
[00:52] <TJ-> Psil0Cybin: You just need to stop the agent I think
[00:52] <SecretFire> Loshki : http://pastebin.com/xBbB5KEc
[00:54] <TJ-> urda: "man iftop" - it uses the same filters as tcpdump, so "not ..."
[00:56] <Psil0Cybin> TJ-, so u do not recommend to remove?
[00:57] <Loshki> 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] <TJ-> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : i had to mount it for it to show http://pastebin.com/P4dwpvWR
[01:01] <Psil0Cybin> TJ-, how can I disable it? so I  do not use the GUI?
[01:02] <Loshki> SecretFire: And finally, please run: sudo blkid
[01:03] <SecretFire> http://pastebin.com/rQi34UZL
[01:03] <SecretFire> Loshki : http://pastebin.com/rQi34UZL
[01:05] <TJ-> Psil0Cybin: It looks as if it is controlled via "/usr/share/upstart/sessions/ssh-agent.conf"
[01:05] <mnathani> how do I install opal-dev from : “opal” 3.10.10~dfsg-2.1ubuntu3 source package in The Trusty Tahr
[01:06] <mnathani> I am at : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/opal/3.10.10~dfsg-2.1ubuntu3
[01:06] <Psil0Cybin> TJ-, im looking @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655397 but its pretty confusing..
[01:06] <Psil0Cybin> im guessing their is no easy way to replace it with the default xubuntu method
[01:06] <Psil0Cybin> ?
[01:07] <bitdefenderforsa> DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE
[01:07] <fatlard3413> mnathani, how you tried downloading the package and running dpkg --install on it?
[01:07] <fatlard3413> have*
[01:07] <Loshki> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : and what does that mean
[01:08] <bitdefenderforsa> DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE
[01:08] <bitdefenderforsa> DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE
[01:08] <bitdefenderforsa> DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE
[01:08] <daftykins> no ty, leave now please.
[01:08] <daftykins> \o/
[01:09] <Loshki> 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] <TJ-> Psil0Cybin: its outside my area of expertise
[01:09] <netlar> hi
[01:09] <fatlard3413> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : its in places
[01:10] <Seveas> !realtek | fatlard3413
[01:10] <daftykins> fatlard3413: most of it involves installing the 3.16 kernel i believe
[01:10] <SecretFire> Loshki : but i still get the IO error
[01:10] <fatlard3413> Oh, wow thanks
[01:10] <netlar> Can I upgrade from 13.04 to 14.04?
[01:11] <fatlard3413> Ill take a look
[01:11] <Beldar> netlar, Through 13.10 yes.
[01:11] <daftykins> netlar: not unless you update twice, it'd be easier to clean install
[01:11] <Seveas> fatlard3413: err, I just read that page. Ignore it, it's 3 years old and probably very outdated
[01:11] <Seveas> sorry for the useless link :)
[01:11] <fatlard3413> Oh, okay.
[01:12] <netlar> daftykins: I just have lots of software that I have installed, was hoping to avoid installing all that again
[01:12] <fatlard3413> 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] <Loshki> SecretFire: you need to remove it from places, if you can...
[01:12] <daftykins> netlar: basically, either way... backup. likely if you try upgrading twice, things are gonna break. so YMMV
[01:13] <fatlard3413> Could it be because I am connecting to a N access point? Which is not officially supported by the adapter?
[01:13] <netlar> daftykins: YMMV?
[01:13] <daftykins> netlar: your mileage may vary
[01:13] <Seveas> fatlard3413: one way to test that is using 802.11a, b or g :)
[01:13] <jorge> how do I list how many files checked out to be ok with md5sum?
[01:13] <jorge> I mean the number
[01:13] <ZuXun_Yang> hello everyone,I want to use Chinese input method in sudo application.How can I do?
[01:14] <netlar> daftykins: Can I restore the backup so that all the software is reinstalled with the backup?
[01:14] <daftykins> netlar: depends how you backup :)
[01:14] <fatlard3413> yeah, Im working on figuring out how to change my router to g,b etc
[01:15] <netlar> daftykins: Maybe all that is addressed in the installation notes for Ubunut
[01:15] <SecretFire> Loshki : how
[01:16] <Beldar> 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] <mnathani> fatlard3413: thanks, trying that now. Its a dependency hell though. Was looking for a simple add repo and apt-get
[01:17] <Beldar> netlar, AS well configs...ect
[01:17] <netlar> Beldar: Just was hoping to avoid some of that work
[01:18] <Beldar> netlar, That is like 3 min work on each distro and the install time.
[01:18] <Kr_D> mor
[01:18] <kostkon> netlar, do the upgrade then. what's the problem?
[01:18] <netlar> kostkon: No problem
[01:18] <kostkon> !eolupgrades | netlar, here
[01:19] <Beldar> netlar, Honestly you should have these skills, software and hardware can break at any time.
[01:19] <netlar> Beldar, yep
[01:19] <mitoch> 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] <rypervenche> ZuXun_Yang: Hi there. What do you mean you want to use it in a sudo application?
[01:21] <i336_> hey... the instructions I'm finding online seem to be out of date, how do I install the pepperflash plugin for chromium?
[01:21] <i336_> "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" isn't in the repo, or I'm missing something
[01:22] <Beldar> i336_, Not sure your links but I added it to a 14.10 install hours ago.
[01:22] <i336_> huh.
[01:23] <Beldar> for firefox
[01:23] <i336_> oh, I see
[01:23] <i336_> what was the package name?
[01:23] <i336_> E: Package 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate
[01:24] <Beldar> i336_, webupd8 is the place not just a simple package and required I added pepper to FF's plugins
[01:24] <i336_> oh okay
[01:24] <kostkon> i336_, what's your ubuntu version
[01:24] <i336_> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[01:24] <ZuXun_Yang> 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] <i336_> ah, webupd8 is a whole repo :P I see...
[01:25] <kostkon> i336_, it should be there http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/pepperflashplugin-nonfree   make sure multiverse is enabled
[01:25] <rypervenche> 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] <ZuXun_Yang> rypervenche:fcitx
[01:26] <TJ-> [Ex0r]: Yes, many domains do that
[01:27] <i336_> kostkon: thanks :D
[01:27] <i336_> pepperflashplugin-nonfree/trusty 1.3ubuntu1 amd64
[01:27] <i336_>   Pepper Flash Player - browser plugin
[01:27] <i336_> multiverse wasn't enabled >.>
[01:27] <kostkon> 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] <TJ-> [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] <Beldar> i336_, YOu probably don't have the repo open it's in.
[01:27] <TJ-> [Ex0r]: No
[01:27] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: that is off-topic here
[01:27] <poppabear> 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] <poppabear> ?
[01:27] <i336_> Beldar: not sure... but it's installing right now... =P
[01:27] <i336_> s/installing/installed/
[01:28] <i336_> fast, lol
[01:28] <TJ-> [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] <TJ-> [Ex0r]: Ask in ''networking"
[01:28] <rypervenche> 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] <TJ-> [Ex0r]: Ask in ##networking
[01:30] <Guest13607> Hello
[01:30] <sethj> 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] <sethj> I guess maybe I should ask in #ubuntu-studio.
[01:31] <Guest13607> #Drlolbutonlyonweekends
[01:32] <kostkon> Guest13607, please don't advertise other channels here
[01:33] <Guest13607> ima just spit out #'s allnight
[01:34] <Guest13607> #wtf ima wacth spideman neow
[01:35] <TJ-> !ot | Guest13607
[01:35] <[Ex0r]> TJ-- i guess I will ask if its possible to setup SMTP server/sendmail to only handle forwarding
[01:36] <TJ-> [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] <TJ-> [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] <niop> 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] <Dragin2> Why can't I remove the 2 from my nick?
[01:43] <Dragin2> Anyone?
[01:43] <daftykins> Dragin2: this isn't IRC support, ask in #freenode
[01:43] <daftykins> 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] <Dragin2> you could have just told me. No need to be a jerk about it
[01:44] <daftykins> 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.
[01:44] <daftykins> twat.

[01:49] <[Ex0r]> hmm
[01:49] <Guest18262> goodmorning:hello
[01:50] <TJ-> rustyrazorblade_: apt-get can't guess about debconf clashes; it's debconf prompting for a resolution
[01:50] <Guest18262> goodmorning:good
[01:51] <rustyrazorblade_> TJ-: hmm.. so there’s no way to just have it auto yes to those questions then eh.
[01:52] <rustyrazorblade_> 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] <rustyrazorblade_> thanks TJ-
[01:53] <[Ex0r]> mail forwarding only seems to be working for one user..
[01:53] <TJ-> rustyrazorblade_: where possible its best to try not to alter package-management supplied configs. Some packages support run-parts via /etc/<package>/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] <iluvalar> daftykins: thank you very much. Any idea why it was working without that prior to that update ?
[02:00] <testerr> How does one install avconv or ffmpeg on Ubuntu Server 14.04?
[02:00] <testerr> apt-get doesn't seem to find libav, libav-tools, or ffmpeg
[02:00] <rustyrazorblade_> TJ-: it seems it’s possible by doing something like: apt-get install
[02:01] <rustyrazorblade_> err
[02:01] <rustyrazorblade_> TJ-: apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" install -y cassandra
[02:01] <TJ-> rustyrazorblade_: OK, that would make sense, replacing existing configs
[02:02] <rustyrazorblade_> TJ-: i wouldn’t be doing that under normal circumstances, but travis-ci has some intereting defaults
[02:10] <blnk1> I am currently sharing my Internet connection from wlan0 to eth0 and the IP address for eth0 is 10.42.0.1 but I need to change it to something else, how would I go about doing that? I checked in my Network Connections but I have no options because I have "shared to other computers" selected in the drop down box
[02:14] <pabloaraujo> Helo
[02:14] <pabloaraujo> how
[02:16] <Psil0Cybin> hello i Edit /etc/UPower/UPower.conf and add IgnoreLid=true to the bottom.and now
[02:16] <Psil0Cybin> when i close my laptop lid it opens up Display Settings
[02:16] <Psil0Cybin> twice every time two windows
[02:16] <Psil0Cybin> every lid open
[02:17] <OnAir> hi guys,i found a solution that can make my killer network card e2200 works.however,i doesn't work after restart computer.
[02:18] <OnAir> anyone know what's going on?
[02:21] <TJ-> blnk1: According to "man 5 nm-settings" ipv4->method=shared means "...then the interface is assigned an address in the 10.42.x.1/24 range and a DHCP and forwarding DNS server are started, and the interface is NAT-ed to the current default network connection"
[02:24] <geneologicalMast> Can Someone help me install things on Ubuntu? Im new to all of this.
[02:25] <Loshki> SecretFire: stopped for dinner, you still working on this?
[02:26] <Beldar> geneologicalMast, probably a good start. https://ubuntu-manual.org/
[02:26] <geneologicalMast> Thanks!
[02:27] <Beldar> no prob
[02:28] <blnk1> TJ: thanks for the help. Is it at all possible to have the interface assigned the address 192.168.20.1 as opposed to the 10.42.0.1?
[02:28] <[Ex0r]> does dovecot-postfix/postfix restrict access via local only ? Im trying to log into my mailbox remotely using POP3 and its telling me the information is incorrect
[02:30] <TJ-> blnk1: That doesn't seem to say so, you'd need to edit the source-code and recompile I think
[02:31] <blnk1> TJ: alright, thanks for the help.
[02:33] <decci> I am trying to see how to set up Linux servers to support remote desktop connectivity
[02:33] <decci> I am looking for setting up a virtual server with Linux OS and configuring to support secure remote user sessions
[02:33] <decci> Read about gogrid...what tool u recommend
[02:38] <Pinkamena_D> I came home today to find my ubuntu box would not resume from suspend. I shut it down and screens would not turn on. After a long time hardware debugging I found that the computer passed post with a backup video card I had. Now ubuntu gets the black screen with blinking cursor
[02:38] <Psil0Cybin> hello i Edit /etc/UPower/UPower.conf and add IgnoreLid=true to the bottom.and now
[02:38] <Psil0Cybin> when i close my laptop lid it opens up Display Settings
[02:38] <Psil0Cybin> every lid open and twice
[02:39] <Pinkamena_D> 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] <Pinkamena_D> 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] <Pinkamena_D> (or at least not before this blinking cursor)
[02:41] <Beldar> !text | Pinkamena_D
[02:41] <Beldar> !nomodeset | Pinkamena_D
[02:41] <Pinkamena_D> yes I have tried nomodeset
[02:41] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, Sounds kinda like a hardware issue.
[02:42] <Pinkamena_D> yes it does, but I dont understand how two things could break at the same time, though I guess its possible
[02:42] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, What two things?
[02:43] <Pinkamena_D> for example, I found that the video card went bad, so I replaced it with a backup
[02:43] <Pinkamena_D> now it seems lik eit will post but there is another issue
[02:43] <jakesyl> hey guys is there anyway to set a command to a variable so vast = [commands]
[02:44] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, A new graphic card could easily be the black screen issue, and windows issue.
[02:44] <Beldar> and live
[02:45] <Pinkamena_D> right, but not livecd
[02:45] <Pinkamena_D> but why?
[02:45] <jakesyl> any idea
[02:45] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, Why not live we see it here all the time
[02:45] <Pinkamena_D> its a geforce 8800 GT, a common midrange card
[02:46] <Pinkamena_D> text and monodeset seem to have no effect
[02:46] <Pinkamena_D> nomodeset*
[02:46] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, You might try ##hardware
[02:47] <Pinkamena_D> ok, but is there no way I can get a list of debug messages?
[02:47] <xnine> 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] <xnine> aand I'm in the wrong channel, please disregard
[02:48] <Pinkamena_D> ok, nvm, thank you for the suggestions
[02:49] <Beldar> 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] <Beldar> there is a safe x in recovery as well
[02:50] <Pinkamena_D> the other card was also nvidia, and I had the nvidia-current package installed
[02:51] <Pinkamena_D> if I could at least get a terminal I could back up my files
[02:51] <Beldar> Pinkamena_D, Not the driver for that exact card right?
[02:51] <mamece2> hi. i have a problem updating
[02:51] <mamece2> can anyone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8030468/
[02:51] <Pinkamena_D> correct, just the generic package
[02:51] <[Ex0r]> Is there anyone here familiar with dovecot ?
[02:53] <Beldar> mamece2, That is a debian "ufoai-common ufoai-maps" package why are you installing it?
[02:53] <Pinkamena_D> hm I think I found the problem... or rather memtest did
[02:53] <Pinkamena_D> thanks for trying =P
[02:53] <mamece2> Beldar: it was suposed to be an update but it went wrong
[02:54] <mamece2> Beldar: now when i try to update i cant
[02:54] <Beldar> 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
[02:54] <mamece2> Beldar:  i think its a basic ubuntu (debian) issue that can be discussed here
[02:54] <Beldar> mamece2, You will have to remove that issue, not sure how myself.
[02:55] <mamece2> Beldar: i could say I have issues running apt-get install -f
[02:55] <Beldar> mamece2, ubuntu is not debian period, however if someone feels sorry for you, you may get help.
[02:55] <Beldar> you could say you were the queen of england. ;)
[02:56] <mamece2> true
[02:56] <[Ex0r]> having an issue getting it to work
[02:57] <krismatrix> Question: I have Trusty Tahr.....why are some programs available in the software center and others not?
[02:58] <sandman13> 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] <SecretFire> Loshki : yes
[02:58] <sandman13> but does it removes all the files on the disk?
[02:58] <OerHeks> krismatrix, what programms are not ?
[02:58] <sandman13> I don't have backups
[02:58] <eeee_> krismatrix: depends on the repos you have enabled.
[02:58] <_unreal_> figured it out, I was in xterm not terminal
[02:58] <krismatrix> kompozer for example...and simplescreenrecorder
[02:59] <SecretFire> Loshki : can i just format it and clean it so it will work right
[02:59] <Akiva-Thinkpad> what do you call a server for several terminals where users can login to ubuntu at any machine, using a username/password?
[02:59] <eeee_> krismatrix: nevermind
[02:59] <krismatrix> i am relatively a new ubuntu/linux user..so...need so knowledge
[02:59] <Beldar> sandman13, Sounds like a time to backup windows any windows up to pro has one free imaging/clone.
[02:59] <Beldar> sandman13, Than read the UEFI wiki
[03:01] <OerHeks> krismatrix, Kompozer was dropped from the repos, since it is no longer maintained in Debia
[03:01] <OerHeks> n
[03:02] <krismatrix> ok..but i was able to install it via the terminal...is that ok...or are there some concerns
[03:03] <OerHeks> krismatrix, odd, you stated it is not available
[03:03] <krismatrix> 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] <krismatrix> 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] <dotDeb> krismatrix apt-get remove {packagename}
[03:06] <dotDeb> or dpkg -r {packagename}
 and how do i find the package name? for programs installed within my computer
[03:07] <dotDeb> krismatrix what programs are you talking about?
[03:08] <krismatrix> 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] <OerHeks> krismatrix, install synaptic, more detailed softwarecenter, what does show all installed packages.
[03:08] <OerHeks> krismatrix, i dislike softwarecenter for the commercial crap, and not showing added software other than tru the standard repos
[03:09] <dotDeb> 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] <krismatrix> ok...so get synaptic..i see that I can download it from ubuntu software center
[03:09] <krismatrix> i shall do so..
[03:09] <OerHeks> have fun
[03:10] <dotDeb> krismatrix it should have a much more complete list
[03:11] <krismatrix> ok...i'd like to ask a few more basic questions...
[03:12] <krismatrix> 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] <dotDeb> krismatrix sudo is superuser, which lets you access root privileges after entering your password
[03:13] <dotDeb> krismatrix wget is a webpage pulling utility
[03:14] <dotDeb> krismatrix you can read documentation on many commands by typing "man {commandname}"
[03:14] <dotDeb> ie:
[03:14] <eeee_> krismatrix: make is for compiling source code
[03:14] <dotDeb> man wget
[03:14] <SchrodingersScat> 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] <krismatrix> ok...i'll try man wget
[03:15] <eeee_> 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] <SchrodingersScat> !info curl | krismatrix, curl is good for working with websites in cli as well
[03:16] <krismatrix> 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] <krismatrix> so curl is something that can download a file from the internet?
[03:17] <SchrodingersScat> 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] <krismatrix> 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] <krismatrix> 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] <apollofm> hi im lookingt for support  since i loaded ubuntu 14.04 on my hp pavillion dv6 its overheating really bad
[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] <jakesyl> hey guys is there anyway to set a command to a variable so vast = [commands]
[03:30] <apollofm> ahh the all questions and no answers club alittle like the ubuntu help wikis nothing works
[03:32] <Beldar> 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] <dotDeb> _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] <Beldar> apollofm, Complaining on a free help channel after 6 min hmm.
[03:33] <apollofm> thanks beldar
[03:34] <somsip> jakesyl: enclose the command in backticks, example vast=`grep error example.log | wc -l`
[03:34] <dotDeb> _unreal_ did you try a different terminal?
[03:34] <Beldar> 4 min actually.
[03:34] <apollofm> ill check that out
[03:34] <dotDeb> beldar: yep.
[03:34] <_unreal_> so in my case bluetower@bluetower:`$ _        its missing
[03:34] <dotDeb> _unreal_ ^
[03:34] <_unreal_> yes, xterm has a prompt
[03:35] <_unreal_> but doesnt have support for copy/past
[03:35] <eeee_> _unreal_: try PS1="prompt "
[03:35] <dotDeb> _unreal_ so you are using Konsole?
[03:36] <dotDeb> no wait, xfce4-terminal
[03:37] <X-5002> anyone know how to fix a screen flicker on 14.04 lts?
[03:37] <eeee_> _unreal_: did the prompt change?
[03:38] <X-5002> no
[03:38] <_unreal_> nothing
[03:38] <X-5002> no
[03:38] <_unreal_> its just a black
[03:38] <_unreal_> I can see file, edit, view, search etc.... but in the lower black part tnoing
[03:38] <_unreal_> but if I type commands I get results
[03:38] <X-5002> well, it usually works for 5-10 min. then starts blinking, freezes up, and stops completely
[03:39] <X-5002> well, it usually works for 5-10 min. then starts blinking, freezes up, and stops completely
[03:39] <_unreal_> X-5002, what is your video card?
[03:39] <X-5002> nvidia geforce
[03:39] <nholloway2007> I'm looking for a decent local backup solution. I know I can dd /dev/sda, but that dumps all info including free space. Any suggestions?
[03:40] <quantibility> anyone know bash enough to answer a this question: Can i script sometihng that can control sound on the fly?
[03:40] <quantibility> bash is dead right now.
[03:41] <somsip> quantibility: what aspect of sound?
[03:41] <apollofm> ok ty  so theres n othing i can do about the fan not spinning up which it does in win7
[03:48] <Loshki> apollofm: nothing? Too soon to give up. What about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 It's very old...
[03:49] <quantibility> somsip: just general
[03:50] <somsip> quantibility: your answer makes no sense. Do you want to enable/disable it? Increase/decrease volume? Change equalizer settings?
[03:50] <quantibility> Increase?decrease colume on the fly
[03:50] <quantibility> sorry
[03:50] <quantibility> my fingers were in the wrong play
[03:50] <quantibility> place

[03:51] <DanaG> argh, gdm won't start -- just gives me a black screen.
[03:52] <DanaG> With a cursor.
[03:52] <somsip> quantibility: a bind I use for that is "amixer -q sset Master 2+". or "2-" to decrease. YMMV
[03:52] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <quantibility> somsip:but can i get input on current volume
[03:53] <Loshki> apollofm: also, "apt-cache search fan | egrep -i control" shows 3 or 4 apps for fan control
[03:53] <Akiva-Thinkpad> Hey is there anyway to use vim or a vimstyle editor to edit textboxes in a browser?
[03:53] <somsip> 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] <Psil0Cybin> network-manager does not save vpn (openvpn) password anymore
[03:53] <quantibility> somsip: thanks its a start
[03:54] <Psil0Cybin> if anyone can help ill be for ever greatful
[03:54] <ermac0> re-install openvpn and or network manager
[03:55] <somsip> Akiva-Thinkpad: which browser?
[03:55] <Akiva-Thinkpad> somsip, any; preferably ubuntu's browser
[03:55] <Akiva-Thinkpad> the webbrowser-app
[03:56] <somsip> 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] <Akiva-Thinkpad> somsip, are you running 14.04?
[03:56] <somsip> Akiva-Thinkpad: yes.
[03:57] <Akiva-Thinkpad> somsip, open the dash, type "Webb"
[03:57] <somsip> Akiva-Thinkpad: I do not use a dash.
[03:57] <Akiva-Thinkpad> somsip, o_o
[03:57] <Akiva-Thinkpad> okay
[03:57] <Akiva-Thinkpad> terminal
[03:57] <Akiva-Thinkpad> type webb and press tab
[03:58] <somsip> Akiva-Thinkpad: no. I'm happy to help, but this is silly
[03:58] <Loshki> somsip: please can you explain the difference between set and sset in amixer?
[03:58] <somsip> Loshki: no idea. Check the manual
[03:58] <Akiva-Thinkpad> somsip, o_O   fine; don't learn what the Webbrowser-app is; the app that will likely replace firefox.
[04:00] <Loshki> 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] <somsip> Loshki: well, I have it doing what I need it to do so no need on my behalf.
[04:01] <sandman13>  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] <cfhowlett> 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] <cfhowlett> !uefi | sandman13, BUT you are aware of uefi/ubuntu issues?
[04:03] <Loshki> somsip: as you wish...
[04:03] <DocPlatypus> 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] <somsip> DocPlatypus: possibly you need the #c or #c++ channel?
[04:04] <somsip> !alis | DocPlatypus
[04:04] <sandman13> cfhowlett: The files are over 1TB in size
[04:05] <DocPlatypus> somsip: this happens in aptitude when attempting to upgrade packages.
[04:05] <cfhowlett> sandman13, all the more reason to consider your backup options ... slow your role
[04:05] <DocPlatypus> aptitude crashes, and I get that.
[04:05] <somsip> DocPlatypus: ah - details are helpful :) However, I can't help with aptitude
[04:05] <DocPlatypus> somsip: sorry thought it would be recognizable as an apt/apt-get/aptitude issue
[04:06] <sandman13> cfhowlett: the laptop is of my friend, he wanted to try Ubuntu as Windows is causing serious problems
[04:06] <jakesyl> somsip command not found
[04:06] <quantibility> sandman: was it copywrite infringment problems?
[04:07] <somsip> jakesyl: eh? What's this about then?
[04:07] <DocPlatypus> failing that, what's the generic advice for "resetting" the apt/aptitude state?
[04:07] <somsip> 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] <sandman13> quantibility: every restart made Windows unable to boot
[04:08] <apollofm> ty Loshki ill try that see what happens ty all looks complicated but illm give it a go
[04:08] <quantibility> 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] <Loshki> DocPlatypus: Odd that you're the only one seeing this. Which os/version?
[04:09] <DocPlatypus> Loshki: 12.04 LTS
[04:09] <somsip> 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] <Loshki> apollofm: if you're running 14.04, you might have better luck with 12.04...
[04:09] <sandman13> TJ-: yes and Windows is the only OS installed on the machine
[04:09] <wafflejock> DocPlatypus, can you restate the problem or copy/paste it I just joined in not sure what you're asking
[04:10] <DocPlatypus> wafflejock: aptitude crashes with an assert failure when I try to upgrade packages. I haven't changed anything recently
[04:10] <quantibility> sandman13: you did a dual boot?
[04:10] <DocPlatypus> (besides just "sudo aptitude update")
[04:10] <TJ-> 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] <somsip> DocPlatypus: could you update aptitude from apt-get?
[04:10] <apollofm> ill have update sooner or later
[04:11] <apollofm> i loved 10.04 no stress
[04:11] <DocPlatypus> somsip: "aptitude is already the newest version."
[04:11] <wafflejock> DocPlatypus, you can try --reinstall
[04:11] <somsip> DocPlatypus: force reinstall then? I am guessing here...
[04:11] <Loshki> apollofm: use apt-get instead?
[04:11] <sandman13> 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] <TJ-> 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] <apollofm> sorry im confused
[04:12] <wafflejock> 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] <TJ-> sandman13: Are you running the Live ISO "Try Ubuntu" at the moment?
[04:12] <Loshki> apollofm: apt-get is not as elegant as aptitude but has much the same functionality, and fewer bugs, apparently...
[04:13] <sandman13> TJ-: No, I am on my Laptop running Debian
[04:13] <apollofm> i tryied loading 14.04  32 bit but it was no good
[04:13] <DocPlatypus> somsip, wafflejock, Loshki: "update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/bin/aptitude-curses because link group aptitude is broken."
[04:13] <DocPlatypus> but it appears to have worked
[04:13] <john38> Is anybody else here having problems on ebay??
[04:13] <somsip> DocPlatypus: and does aptitude run now?
[04:13] <somsip> !ot | john38
[04:13] <DocPlatypus> somsip: trying it now
[04:13] <ubuntu_user1357> 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] <apollofm> i use it when ever i can
[04:13] <sandman13> TJ-: the problem is I don't have experience with UEFI
[04:14] <john38> somsip, what??
[04:14] <DocPlatypus> somsip: so far so good.
[04:14] <TJ-> sandman13: You're fortunate; I do :)
[04:14] <somsip> 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] <cfhowlett> 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] <wafflejock> john38, not really a ubuntu question you can check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[04:15] <john38> somsip, well yes since i am using ebay on ubuntu and there seems to be problems but on windows its working fine
[04:15] <wafflejock> john38, if you think it's browser related or something we need details on what browser your using
[04:15] <apollofm> i used i386 the cpu went crazy 100 usage
[04:15] <wafflejock> john38, have you tried other browsers?
[04:15] <wafflejock> what is the behavior
[04:15] <wafflejock> !details
[04:16] <john38> i think it may be a problem with flash plugin or something ebay keeps refreshing itself over and over
[04:16] <DocPlatypus> 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] <wafflejock> john38, what browser?
[04:16] <john38> wafflejock, firefox
[04:16] <john38> wafflejock, just on that site
[04:16] <wafflejock> john38, would suggest trying chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome it has a built in flash player they maintain
[04:16] <john38> wafflejock, and!! amazon
[04:16] <somsip> DocPlatypus: time for a fsck? or other check of HD
[04:17] <sandman13> cfhowlett: the chances that Windows won't boot next time is high. This is the reason he wanted Ubuntu
[04:17] <wafflejock> 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] <john38> ok
[04:18] <cfhowlett> sandman13, so ... why keep windows if it's failing.  wipe it out and do 100% ubuntu.  Expontially easier
[04:18] <cfhowlett> *exponentially*
[04:18] <DocPlatypus> somsip: possibly. computer likes to run hot, hard disk has definitely shown me in no uncertain terms it hates heat too
[04:18] <wafflejock> 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] <somsip> DocPlatypus: ***warning*** best heeded
[04:19] <DocPlatypus> somsip: actually HD has run hot enough that it is having issues when started cold (<30°C or so)
[04:19] <Loshki> wafflejock: amen...
[04:19] <apollofm> thanks guys all info apreciated ill try that or buy a fan cooling pad :)
[04:19] <TJ-> 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] <somsip> DocPlatypus: you already seem to know you have a problem then
[04:19] <DocPlatypus> 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] <DanaG> I usually use rEFInd as my boot chooser on UEFI.
[04:20] <DocPlatypus> I have a separate / and /home
[04:20] <DocPlatypus> my / rarely gets touched except to read data, write logs, and occasionally update programs
[04:20] <DocPlatypus> read programs*
[04:21] <TJ-> DocPlatypus: I missed the start of this, but that sounds to me like flakey RAM ... have you run a thorough memtest ?
[04:21] <DocPlatypus> TJ-: it's not flaky RAM
[04:21] <DocPlatypus> if anything of the sort, it *might* be dirty power (1950s house, everything has to be plugged in with a cheater adapter)
[04:23] <TJ-> 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] <TJ-> 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] <DocPlatypus> TJ-: could a failing PSU have damaged the RAM on its way out?
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> im having issues connecting google and hotmail, tested different browsers all other sites connecting normally also other services like irc connect normal
[04:31] <TJ-> DocPlatypus: I'm not sure, but anything is possible if a PSU does something it ought not
[04:32] <TJ-> 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] <TJ-> 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] <DocPlatypus> TJ-: I'll run memtest when I get a chance
[04:35] <TJ-> 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] <DocPlatypus> TJ-: had that happen once on the computer this one replaced
[04:37] <TJ-> 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 :)
[04:41] <john38> wafflejock, so theres no flash plugin that will work for firefox
[04:41] <john38> wafflejock, updated
[04:50] <PCworker> Anyone here tonight?
[04:54] <Companion_Cuybe> Could somebody give me a hand?
[04:54] <PCworker> I am wanting to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. But I would like to know if the upgrade is going to keep all the programs I have installed OR if I need to use AptonCD first and then do the upgrade?
[04:55] <Companion_Cuybe> During the install of Ubuntu via a Minimal CD I selected the wrong package and installed some server, now I would like to change it to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[04:55] <Companion_Cuybe> Can anyone give me a hand, I'm kind of lost.
[04:56] <rjsalts> PCworker: It'll keep the programs installed assuming they don't cause conflicts with newer packages
[04:57] <PCworker> rjsalts: thanks. I have CD and DVD burning software and pinta graphics stuff.
[04:58] <Companion_Cuybe> rjsalts, any advice for little ol' me?
[04:58] <PCworker> rjsalts: I do a lot of website building.
[04:58] <rjsalts> PCworker: assuming you change your apt sources to point to the new release and do apt-get update you can see what will change with apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade
[04:58] <rjsalts> Companion_Cuybe: I didn't understand what you were asking
[04:58] <PCworker> Companion_Cuybe: Can you get to and use the desktop?
[04:58] <Companion_Cuybe> I can load up a ubuntu 14.04 command prompt
[04:59] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:59] <Companion_Cuybe> I sat down and nicked the enter key while selecting a package and picked one at the bottom of the list, I believe it's some server.
[04:59] <rjsalts> Companion_Cuybe: and you want to add a GUI, etc?
[04:59] <Companion_Cuybe> I would likte Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[05:00] <Companion_Cuybe> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:00] <Companion_Cuybe> It ask's me to verify my PW then it does nothing.
[05:00] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, yes.  in a TERMINAL.   not in IRC.
[05:00] <Companion_Cuybe> I understand this.
[05:00] <Loshki> Companion_Cuybe: sudo apt-get update, then try again
[05:01] <Companion_Cuybe> one moment, will return with result's shortly
[05:01] <Companion_Cuybe> AHA NEVERMIND
[05:01] <Companion_Cuybe> My MinimalCD finally booted and I can just install with that.
[05:02] <Companion_Cuybe> Invalid or corrupt kernal image
[05:02] <Companion_Cuybe> yikes.
[05:02] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, you DID verify that ISO --- right?
[05:02] <Companion_Cuybe> EDD: Error ff00 reading sector 11636
[05:02] <Companion_Cuybe> Is that the harddrive's fault?
[05:02] <Companion_Cuybe> cause this laptop may have a bad drive
[05:02] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, could be a bad ISO, could be a bad USB.
[05:03] <Companion_Cuybe> Yes, I verified the ISO
[05:03] <lachesis> hey guys, how can i make my initrd include support for cryptdevice?
[05:03] <lachesis> it's really easy on arch (just add the encrypt hook), but i can't figure it out on ubuntu 14.04
[05:03] <rjsalts> 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] <jake__> Whats going on here?
[05:03] <lachesis> i'm trying to boot to an encrypted root but grub just says the root is missing
[05:03] <Companion_Cuybe> anything to enter on the Boot: command window?
[05:03] <jake__> put grub on root
[05:04] <Companion_Cuybe> Ubuntu 14.04 is booting
[05:04] <jake__> remove password for encrypted root
[05:04] <Companion_Cuybe> Oh god, errors.
[05:04] <Companion_Cuybe> ubuntu 140.04.1 LTS
[05:05] <Companion_Cuybe> now I am logged into my user
[05:05] <Disco_batman> Oh boy
[05:05] <TJ-> lachesis: cryptsetup? just ensure there's an entry for the crypt volume in "/etc/crypttab"
[05:06] <Companion_Cuybe> the apt-get update seems to have worked.
[05:06] <Disco_batman> yay
[05:06] <TJ-> 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] <TJ-> lachesis: Is the /boot/ file-system outside of the encryption?
[05:07] <Disco_batman> Oh boy.
[05:08] <Disco_batman> Now ive screwed myself
[05:08] <Companion_Cuybe> Whats wrong
[05:08] <Disco_batman> My PC Froze and now wont boot into ubuntu
[05:08] <Disco_batman> i  blame java
[05:08] <Companion_Cuybe> my computer wont even turn on right now
[05:09] <Companion_Cuybe> and it shut down during apt-get update
[05:09] <Companion_Cuybe> I'm scared.
[05:09] <Disco_batman> that basically says your version is corrupt
[05:10] <Companion_Cuybe> I cant even get my computer to POWER ON
[05:10] <Disco_batman> Is it plugged in still?
[05:10] <Companion_Cuybe> yes
[05:10] <Companion_Cuybe> I'm hoping it just overheated
[05:10] <Companion_Cuybe> or some shit
[05:10] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, maybe you'd best leave it for an hour.  and no profanity.
[05:10] <Disco_batman> Most likely
[05:10] <Companion_Cuybe> Sorry.
[05:11] <Disco_batman> im hoping my pc overheated
[05:11] <Companion_Cuybe> lol
[05:11] <Disco_batman> probrably not though :C
[05:11] <Companion_Cuybe> ubuntu couldn't corrupt and mess up so badly that it prevents the computer from booting
[05:11] <Companion_Cuybe> Could it?
[05:12] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, highly unlikley
[05:12] <Companion_Cuybe> Okay good.
[05:12] <Disco_batman> Well from years of computer usage its possible it fried the power supply
[05:13] <cfhowlett> unplug, disconnect and leave it alone for an hour ...
[05:13] <Companion_Cuybe> Me and Him?
[05:13] <Companion_Cuybe> Or just him
[05:13] <Companion_Cuybe> Or just me?
[05:13] <Companion_Cuybe> Perhaps both?
[05:14] <Disco_batman> Most likely both
[05:15] <Disco_batman> Im gonna test my pc. Wish me luck
[05:16] <Disco_batman> NOOOOOOOOPE
[05:16] <Disco_batman> >_< Dangit
[05:17] <Companion_Cuybe> Me either batman
[05:17] <Companion_Cuybe> me either.
[05:20] <donix> im having truoble setting up cisco e2500 n600 wifi router
[05:20] <donix> i can get 192.168.1.1 to load but it asks me to download windows soiftware
[05:21] <lachesis> i'm trying to encrypt my root - does grub do some magic to read the crypttab and put root somewhere else?
[05:21] <cfhowlett> donix, is that router linux friendly?
[05:21] <donix> i have no idea or where to get that info
[05:21] <Companion_Cuybe> My laptop still isn't booting
[05:22] <Companion_Cuybe> still scared
[05:24] <Disco_batman> Still wont work GAH
[05:24] <cfhowlett> if your laptop is over heated ... LET IT COOL!
[05:25] <samthewildone> I'm trying to build a application via Qt5.3 and having a problem displaying the menu bar.
[05:26] <samthewildone> the application doesn't output an error but, the menu bar isn't showing which is a result of Unity.
[05:26] <samthewildone> Is there a way I can disable this thing ?
[05:26] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, install and use a different Desktop Environment?
[05:27] <samthewildone> which one ?
[05:28] <TJ-> samthewildone: There's an environment variable you can use to override the unity menu snatching... but can't recall what it is right now
[05:28] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 kde will grab three of the more popular ones.  logout.  choose one. login
[05:29] <samthewildone> TJ-, hey whats up my man
[05:29]  * samthewildone jumps onto TJ's back 
[05:29] <VA6DAH> donix, install ddwrt or tomato...
[05:29] <TJ-> samthewildone: oooph! see http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-global-application-menu
[05:29] <samthewildone> I rather not clog my computer with other desktop enviroments
[05:29] <cfhowlett> VA6DAH, those are wifi router OS's ... not DE's
[05:29] <TJ-> samthewildone: scroll down that page to see the way to do it for 14.04 Trusty
[05:30] <samthewildone> brb
[05:31] <edition> i recently installed KDE, using the kubuntu-desktop metapackage
[05:31] <edition> unfortunately, it has messed up the Greybird theme in XFCE...
[05:31] <edition> how can I fix this?
[05:32] <cfhowlett> edition, find a KDE equivalent theme.
[05:33] <edition> im using an XFCE session.
[05:34] <edition> @cfhowlett is their a 'manual' approach, to change back the theme?
[05:35] <cfhowlett> edition, IDK ... but I don't see how the theme could have gotten scrambled if you're now using xfce ...
[05:35] <edition> screenshot?
[05:35] <VA6DAH> cfhowlett, He did say wifi router... From what I read at least.
[05:36] <samthewildone> Ok so whatever I did I almost borked my comp
[05:36] <samthewildone> had to reinstall that thing I removed
[05:36] <cfhowlett> edition, one possible ... reset your xfce configurations back to default by deleted /home/.config/xfce4
[05:36] <edition> ok
[05:36] <Companion_Cuybe> Wow.
[05:36] <samthewildone> TJ-, no luck
[05:37] <Companion_Cuybe> So my laptop is still not booting after mysterious crash during apt-get update
[05:37] <edition> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/75370
[05:37] <samthewildone> TJ-, "although this will break the HUD"
[05:37] <samthewildone> that's the part I need
[05:38] <cfhowlett> edition, those are not the greybird theme icons.
[05:38] <edition> i know :)
[05:38] <edition> thats the problem
[05:39] <cfhowlett> edition, appearance > fonts
[05:39] <cfhowlett> appearance > icons
[05:39] <Companion_Cuybe>  cfhowlett
[05:40] <Companion_Cuybe> My laptop is still not starting, I'm worried.
[05:40] <anew> when i try to telnet 4225 it says unable to connect to remote host
[05:40] <edition> cfhowlett, the appearance settings do not work.
[05:40] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe bad power supply = replace power supply.  Overheating = WAIT for cooldown and test again
[05:41] <somsip> anew: telner is not usualy on 4225. What command are you using to connect?
[05:41] <cfhowlett> edition, kill the file I mentioned earlier.  logout.  login.
[05:41] <Companion_Cuybe> What luck.
[05:41] <Companion_Cuybe> Spend all day repairing laptop and then installing a new OS
[05:41] <Companion_Cuybe> power supply goes out
[05:42] <Companion_Cuybe> It's had time to cool and should start if that was the problem
[05:42] <anew> i am trying to use a firefox extension which is supposed to be listening on port 4225
[05:42] <Companion_Cuybe> which I'm not so sure of
[05:42] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, wait 1 hour
[05:42] <Companion_Cuybe> Alright.
[05:42] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, wait, what?  bad power supply is CONFIRMED?
[05:42] <somsip> 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] <Companion_Cuybe> Not neccessarily.
[05:43] <Companion_Cuybe> It's been about half an hour though.
[05:43] <pete__> This is my first time using this. What is Xchat used for?
[05:43] <OerHeks> pete__, irc
[05:43] <cfhowlett> pete__, technical suppport
[05:43] <anew> somsip mozrepl.  it is listening on port 4225.  if i have firefox open it works, but i cant start firefox from scratch
[05:43] <Companion_Cuybe> 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] <Companion_Cuybe> I'll continue waiting.
[05:44] <somsip> anew: I'd like to help, but you're not answering questions I'm asking, so good luck
[05:44] <edition> the apearance settings still don't work...
[05:44] <anew> somsip wot.... i just answered them
[05:45] <cfhowlett> edition, ask #xfce
[05:45] <anew> somsip extension = mozrepl
[05:45] <edition> thanks
[05:45] <somsip> anew:  what extension. What command are you using to try to connect to it?
[05:45] <anew> somsip extension = mozrepl !!
[05:46] <DanaG> 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] <anew> somsip i am connecting from a perl script, it works if ff is open, but not if it is closed
[05:46] <Companion_Cuybe> Should I be worried, cfhowlett?
[05:46] <cfhowlett> Companion_Cuybe, you should wait, get off IRC, go for a walk and test in 45 minutes
[05:47] <Companion_Cuybe> its 2 am
[05:47] <somsip> 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] <Companion_Cuybe> Alright alright I'll leave you alone
[05:47] <anew> why cant i telnet to port 4225 was my question !!!
[05:48] <Ben64> anew: why can't you telnet? you can -- "telnet host 4225". next question?
[05:48] <anew> i get unable to connect to remote host
[05:48] <Ben64> then its not listening or you have a firewall or something blocking it
[05:49] <anew> ben64 iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4225 -j ACCEPT shouldnt this take care of that ?
[05:50] <TJ-> DanaG: Yeah, its a pain isn't it? I turned off apparmor .... then next reboot everything was fine, I never did figure out what the issue was, although I did dig around a lot
[05:50] <DanaG> _ /usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -r --uuid libvirt-be97a8c6-f9bc-4716-9083-ab1c8c895591                    virt-aa-helper: error: profile does not exist
[05:50] <DanaG> what gives?  am I supposed to create the profile myself?  I sure hope not...
[05:50] <TJ-> anew: Is the firefox extension listening only on localhost?
[05:52] <anew> tj- i think i got it

[06:08] <RoozbehShafiee> edition: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[06:08] <edition> thanks
[06:08] <edition> apt reports the removal of kubuntu, will free up 57kb...
[06:09] <edition> this seems very small to be KDE...
[06:10] <bazhang> that is only removal of the meta package edition
[06:10] <edition> idk
[06:10] <edition> ill use the command line, from psychocats.net
[06:10] <bazhang> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce <---- read this edition
[06:11] <OerHeks> best thing to do is reinstall a fresh xfce.
[06:11] <edition> :/
[06:11] <edition> could I remove desktops completely, and work from the console?
[06:11] <cfhowlett> edition, remove the configuration file, then sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

[06:23] <JayPi> Hi everyone! I would like to build a public ftp server (or http) that can manage a queue-like system. By example, if I give the link www.my-server.com/test.zip, I would like to create a *queue* in case of many users trying to download it at the same time... So, the first one got the download directly, the second has to wait, etc.

[07:01] <Repox> Hello. I'm trying to use logrotate to clean up my log directory in a php application (Laravel). My config looks like this: http://pastie.org/private/psluedbz1mvh5cpo9cbra - Problem is that it says none of my log files needs rotating and some of the log files are more than a week old. Any suggestions?
[07:24] <yskapell> good morning
[07:24] <yskapell> any idea how can I check if the NIC or cable is faulty?
[07:24] <yskapell> I have no errors or warnings in messages

[07:30] <adsc> sorry, http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/how-to-enable-or-disable-services
[07:30] <gr33n7007h> innocent95, probably "sudo update-rc.d lamp disable"
[07:31] <TJ-> yskapell: "ethtool" might help
[07:32] <gr33n7007h> innocent95, you could also use sysv-rc-conf
[07:33] <yskapell> it is not installed and I cannot install it

[07:48] <ObrienDave> greetings and welcome
[07:50] <malkauns> is there any way to make empathy pop up a chat window when a new message comes in rather than just using the notification area?
[07:51] <zamba> why do ubuntu keep forgetting which locales should be generated?
[07:51] <innocent95> can we edit the symbolic link ?
[07:52] <ikonia> innocent95: edit them ?
[07:52] <innocent95> ikonia, a file i mean.
[07:52] <ikonia> innocent95: you can edit files, sure
[07:53] <Beldar> malkauns, http://askubuntu.com/questions/22292/get-chat-empathy-to-pop-up-when-people-are-talking-to-me
[07:53] <innocent95> ikonia, if i have a file and i did a symbolic link to it somewhere and later on a came and edit this file, what would happen ?
[07:53] <yskapell> ethtool did not help much as the only info I get is Settings for eth0: Link detected: yes
[07:53] <ikonia> innocent95: you'd edit the file
[07:54] <innocent95> ikonia, I can edit the file from it's symbolic link then ?
[07:54] <ikonia> innocent95: thats the point of a link - to point at something else
[07:54] <Blenda> hi all, is it possible to box select in "Files" (Ubuntu 14.04)?
[07:55] <ikonia> box ?
[07:55] <cynicallemon> innocent95: think of a symbolic link as a shortcut in windows
[07:55] <Blenda> ikonia you draw a box around files and it select
[07:55] <Blenda> ikonia like in windows
[07:55] <ikonia> Blenda: there is no "box" functionaly in the default file manager
[07:56] <ikonia> Blenda: you can select as many items as you want though, like in windows
[07:56] <Blenda> ikonia so i have to use Shift and select?
[07:56] <ikonia> Blenda: that's a good solution
[07:56] <malkauns> Beldar: yea, been there but there's no such option in the version of empathy that comes with 14.04
[07:56] <ObrienDave> or ctrl-select
[07:57] <Blenda> ikonia and ctrlA, but it's weird they havent added it
[07:57] <ObrienDave> this is NOT windows
[07:57] <Blenda> 0brienDave : i love to hear this
[07:57] <ikonia> Blenda: not really
[07:58] <Blenda> Ikonia box selct is pretty common in all "explorers"
[07:58] <ObrienDave> rOFL
[07:58] <Blenda> ikonia thats why i find it strange
[07:59] <ObrienDave> then go back to windows
[07:59] <Blenda> lol no thx
[07:59] <Blenda> plz dont troll, i don't
[07:59] <cynicallemon> or xfce
[07:59] <Blenda> if i understood, all the ui is Nautilus? so i have to change it?
[08:00] <Beldar> Blenda, Not sure you exact definition of box, but windows and linux do the same thing.
[08:00] <TaZeR> ubtuntu is the best of all the daemons in the world
[08:00] <TaZeR> dont u agree captain america
[08:01] <Blenda> cynicallemon : will take a look on xfce, thanks
[08:01] <ObrienDave> box select works on XFCE
[08:01] <Beldar> Blenda, Both will take multiple files and drag and drop or copy and paste.
[08:01] <Blenda> by box selct, i mean like in Photoshop where you draw a rectangle, in explorer it selects files inside this rectangle
[08:01] <Blenda> pretty common
[08:01] <cynicallemon> xfce file manager is called thunar
[08:01] <TaZeR> dont believe it rectangles are not true
[08:02] <TaZeR> the only shape that exists is a trapazoid
[08:02] <Blenda> hahha
[08:02] <Blenda> or lasso select would be cool too
[08:03] <Beldar> Blenda, right nautilus does the same, windows as far as I know does not just add that box to the clipboard.
[08:05] <Blenda> 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] <ObrienDave> then you're not doing it correctly
[08:06] <Beldar> Blenda, You do it around the file not directly on it.
[08:06] <Blenda> just noticed it works in "grid of icons" mode, but not in list mode
[08:06] <Beldar> windows is the same
[08:07] <dioioib> anyone in here able to answer a watercooling question?
[08:07] <Beldar> you have to click in the right empty spot in both
[08:07] <Blenda> yeah i know, but it only works in Thumbnails mode, not list mode
[08:07] <ObrienDave> list mode works
[08:07] <enchilado> 44/37
[08:08] <ObrienDave> you're doing it wrong, like windows
[08:08] <Blenda> no lol
[08:08] <Beldar> dioioib, Not an intrinsic ubuntu question.
[08:08] <Blenda> i know how to box select, now i tell you ^^ i can box select in Thumbnail mode, but not in list mode!!!
[08:09] <ObrienDave> 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] <dioioib> 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] <ObrienDave> dioioib, #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:10] <Blenda> ObrienDave: please consider i do it right, maybe it's a bug?
[08:11] <ObrienDave> please consider you are doing it incorrectly and it works for everyone else but you. NOT a bug
[08:11] <Blenda> doh
[08:12] <Blenda> 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] <Blenda> :)
[08:13] <edition> looks like ill have to reinstall xubuntu, since KDE has ruined the theme config...
[08:13] <Blenda> manyway thats not death, i'll stick with it until i know more about linux, and maybe try out xfce
[08:13] <edition> @Blender xfce is great
[08:13] <Blenda> edition, could be cause i have a few bugs since it tweaked compiz
[08:13] <edition> don't tweak compiz. it works fine itself.
[08:14] <ObrienDave> *must not feed trolls*
[08:14] <edition> is there a better way, to restore the orgininal theme of xubuntu?
[08:14] <mjayk> edition: unless you backed up no
[08:14] <edition> :D
[08:15] <edition> ah well
[08:16] <Blenda> as usual, thanks dudes, and good day!
[08:17] <daGrevis> i have two vcards on laptop. how can i see which one is used currently?
[08:17] <cynicallemon> edition: what theme are you talking about?
[08:28] <innocent95> Hi
[08:29] <ObrienDave> greetings and welcome
[08:29] <innocent95> I got this when trying to install wordpress theme on localhost : Unpacking the package…
[08:29] <innocent95> Could not create directory.
[08:29] <innocent95> is that a permission issue ?
[08:29] <winem> yep, sounds like it is
[08:30] <winem> does anyone here have bamboo experience?
[08:30] <innocent95> winem, What to do ?
[08:31] <winem> 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] <winem> 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] <innocent95> winem, drwxrwxrwx
[08:32] <winem> can you create a file on the partition? just to ensure that the FS is not mounted read-only
[08:33] <innocent95> winem, in / ?
[08:34] <innocent95> winem, Where ?
[08:34] <innocent95> winem, I have only one partition and i can create folders and files in it.
[08:35] <winem> ok
[08:35] <winem> do you have a folder called wp-content?
[08:35] <innocent95> Sure
[08:36] <winem> check the permissions in this folder. and confirm that the webserver is running with the right user
[08:38] <innocent95> winem, owner me, access Read & write group root access r and w others r and w
[08:39] <winem> then you almost checked everything on the local FS
[08:39] <winem> is the theme package a valid one?
[08:41] <innocent95> Yes.
[08:41] <winem> use `file <themename>.zip`if it's a zip and try to extract it manually
[08:42] <winem> hum... ok.. do you have some more logs from the webserver?
[08:42] <innocent95> I extracted it
[08:42] <innocent95> winem, Logs, where can i find this ?
[08:43] <winem> do you use redhat / centos or debian?
[08:43] <innocent95> winem, debian ubuntu
[08:44] <winem> please check /var/log/apache2
[08:44] <innocent95> winem, access.log ?
[08:45] <winem> is there no error.log?
[08:45] <f00f> how do you edit a file 20 GB in size inline ?
[08:45] <innocent95> winem, Yeah there is
[08:45] <f00f> vi loads buffer into memory i think
[08:45] <f00f> shit is weird
[08:45] <koichirose> Hello! how do I check if apache is autostarting on boot without restarting my server?
[08:46] <f00f> checkconfig apache2
[08:46] <winem> f00f: depends on the task you'd like to perform. would it be possible to use patch or sed?
[08:46] <winem> jop
[08:47] <winem> innocent95: please take a look at the logfile
[08:47] <f00f> winem: whats patch, i'd love to use sed, any handy guides ?
[08:47] <koichirose> f00f: I have no checkconfig command
[08:47] <yzx> 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] <winem> in the best case, you'll find some path
[08:47] <f00f> koichirose: use umm, rc-update remove apache2 default
[08:47] <innocent95> winem, lots of errors, do you wanna a pastebin ?
[08:47] <f00f> koichirose: or rc-update add apache2 default to add i think ?
[08:48] <koichirose> f00f: I’d simply like to know if it’s already autostarting
[08:48] <winem> clear the logfile ( true > error.log ), reproduce the issue and provide a pastebin in a privat chat, please
[08:48] <winem> I'll have to leave for a few minutes
[08:49] <innocent95> winem, Alright, great idea btw
[08:50] <vlt> 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] <innocent95> winem, No errors
[08:54] <f00f> koichirose: you get the ides dude, just use update-rc.d -n apache2 remove
[08:55] <f00f> koichirose: the -n will make sure notthing gets removed. but at least you'll see what might happen if the command ran
[08:55] <koichirose> ok
[08:55] <laughingtiger> I think just update-rc.d disable will be fine.
[08:56] <laughingtiger> why bother to remove it since you can just disable it.
[08:56] <laughingtiger> lol
[08:56] <koichirose> laughingtiger: I simply need to check if it’s autostarting, I don’t want to remove it
[08:57] <laughingtiger> all right then koichirose. lol
[08:57] <koichirose> 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] <koichirose> So I guess it’s autostarting
[08:59] <horrow> Hey guys is there are way to install kali-tools on ubuntu 14.04 i tryed 500 guides without any success?

[09:16] <horrow> sorry about my english
[09:16] <k1l_> 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] <horrow> so i cant ask here?
[09:17] <horrow> i just need some help
[09:17] <k1l_> horrow: why not ask the one who makes the package?
[09:18] <cynicallemon> kali repos are debian based so there shouldn't be much trouble (if any) if you are willing to risk it
[09:18] <horrow> I would like but i dont know what to do I tryed alot of guides last 5 days

[09:26] <evil_dan2wik> ge0rJey, I just needed to know quickly.
[09:28] <interweb> Can I use pacman on ubuntu ? How ?
[09:28] <somsip> ge0rJey: uninstall using 'apt-get purge {package}'
[09:28] <somsip> interweb: no
[09:28] <cynicallemon> ge0rJey: apt-get purge, will remove at time of uninstalling
[09:29] <evil_dan2wik> interweb, surely someone has ported the game to ubuntu by now.
[09:29] <interweb> somsip, So what is pacman package ?
[09:29] <ge0rJey> somsip, i did apt-get purge and autoremove and apt-get clean as well
[09:29] <somsip> interweb: you asked the question, so you should know
[09:29] <interweb> evil_dan2wik, I'm talking about ArchLinux package manager :)
[09:29] <ge0rJey> but still the config files persists after reinstall
[09:29] <somsip> ge0rJey: then you should be fine. Are there still config files left over?
[09:29] <nights> anyone who know nginx well and is prepared to help config for some $$ ?
[09:29] <somsip> interweb: so you did know...
[09:29] <somsip> ge0rJey: did you amend them?
[09:30] <interweb> somsip, I'm looking for how does it work , How to config it
[09:30] <somsip> interweb: not on ubuntu. It's Arch's package manaher. as you said
[09:30] <ge0rJey> somsip, for good measure i removed the files in .config directory from home as well , but i'm still getting issues related to config changes i had done
[09:30] <cynicallemon> ge0rJey: if you have config files from previous uninstalls then look into deborphan or gtk-orphan (gui frontend)
[09:31] <somsip> !info bleachbit | ge0rJey (may help you perhaps?)
[09:32] <ge0rJey> somsip, i read somewhere, strongly suggesting not to use bleachbit
[09:33] <cynicallemon> somsip: dont think bleachbit removes orphaned config files
[09:33] <somsip> ge0rJey: you have the choice of what you use
[09:33] <ashnur_> hi, i just upgraded my father's ubuntu to version 14 and one of his windows games (run with win) are having issues running in full screen. is this something anyone else experienced? maybe there is something i should try other than remove wine and the game and install from scratch everything?
[09:33] <somsip> cynicallemon: fair enough - not too sure of it myself, but know it's out there as an official package so thought I'd mention it
[09:34] <cynicallemon> somsip: yeah, i use it for all other stuff i need to purge
[09:34] <ge0rJey> guys , dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge     did the trick
[09:34] <cynicallemon> dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg --purge
[09:35] <somsip> ge0rJey: nice find
[09:38] <innocent95> winem
[09:39] <evil_dan2wik> How to move a folder?
[09:41] <cynicallemon> evil_dan2wik: cut/paste in file manager or, "mv folder <to new location>" in terminal
[09:42] <evil_dan2wik> initrd@initrd-Aspire-xxxx:~/processing-2.2.1$ sudo mv /root/sketchbook ~
[09:42] <evil_dan2wik> mv: cannot move ‘/root/sketchbook’ to ‘/home/initrd/sketchbook’: Directory not empty
[09:44] <tokka> Is there any way to manually rotate one a log file once, without the need to write logrotate configuration?
[09:44] <tokka> I wish it supported a simple use case like `logrotate <this huge log file>`, but apparently it doesn't (
[09:45] <dustylinux> gudday
[09:46] <dustylinux> how can i play counter strike global offensive junkies on linuxmint?
[09:47] <ObrienDave> ask in #mint
[09:47] <dustylinux> i installed it already
[09:47] <bcvery> !mint | dustylinux
[09:47] <ObrienDave> so? ask in the mint channel
[09:48] <dustylinux> ok, tnx for the info, i am new here in linux

[09:52] <PechosRey> ashukaul are you using 12.04 lts?
[09:52] <ashukaul> Yes
[09:52] <PechosRey> yes i think then that the easiest way to go

[09:57] <innocent95> Could not create directory.

[09:58] <somsip> innocent95: here is one webiste (of many) that has some advice http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/08/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/
[09:59] <cynicallemon> evil_dan2wik: you might have to be root to move from root directory
[09:59] <innocent95> somsip, I've set the right permissions, But not working..

[10:08] <hijackers> c'é nessuno?
[10:14] <zamba> i just upgraded to 14.04.1 from 12.04.1, but now my system won't boot.. when grub is supposed to show, i'm only seeing a blank screen with the cursor at the top-left corner
[10:17] <zamba> pausing the booting i see the following: "GRUB loading.\n error: no such disk.\n error: file not found\n error: file not found\n error: file not found"
[10:18] <vlt> Hello. I plugged in a USB drive with an ext4 file system on a LUKS partition. Ubuntu asked for my passphrase, created a mount point in /media/vlt/ and mounted it but says I have no permission to access it now. Any idea why it belongs to another user?
[10:18] <zamba> and i don't get the grub prompt
[10:18] <zamba> it just blanks the screen
[10:21] <prorus> Hi I'm trying to build custom iso for my asus t100ta wich is uefi only
[10:21] <prorus> My goal is to make it bootable grub-efi 32bit
[10:21] <prorus> My question is how do I specify mainline kernel=>(3.16) and grub-efi bootable?
[10:21] <prorus> here is my example:
[10:21] <prorus> lb config --bootloader grub-efi -d utopic -a i386 --win32-loader false --mode ubuntu --archive-areas "main restricted universe multiverse" --memtest memtest86+ --debian-installer true --debian-installer-gui true --apt­recommends true

[10:31] <masterkorp> hello everyone
[10:32] <masterkorp> does anyone know what is the default method of encytion when the ubuntu installar sets up lvm and luks ?
[10:32] <argo> i think luks use AES
[10:33] <masterkorp> i am trying to decrypt the the drive with cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdX lvmappername but i can't find the device
[10:33] <masterkorp> argo: my question is, is it lvm with luks inside or Luks with lvm inside ?
[10:33] <argo> sorry
[10:34] <masterkorp> oh no sorries, i wan't clear enough :)
[10:36] <masterkorp> ok, seem to have found it it, ubuntu 14.04 seems to setup / and swap on luks with lvm inside

[10:40] <prorus> hi guys how do I specify kernel=>3.16 in ld config ?
[10:40] <hyde> what package do I need to install, to be able to configure keyboard layouts in Ubuntu Server, running LXDE? I'd rather not install the whole lubuntu-desktop just for this.
[10:42] <hyde> ah, looks like I'm missin dbus... maybe.
[10:44] <hyde> no, I was missing python-dbus
[10:44] <hyde> looks like lxkeymap package has broken dependencies, if it does not depend on that but needs that

[11:06] <obi12341> okay
[11:06] <Dialogue> hey
[11:06] <Dialogue> my usb ports stopped working
[11:06] <Dialogue> now I can't use my mouse
[11:06] <Dialogue> and usb stick
[11:06] <oiihjer> Dialogue: did you recently update you kernel?
[11:06] <ObrienDave> Dialogue, unplug and replug
[11:06] <obi12341> first you should look in: dmesg
[11:06] <Dialogue> I did unplug and replug
[11:07] <Dialogue> I had a software update
[11:07] <Dialogue> after that it stopped
[11:07] <ObrienDave> reboot?
[11:07] <oiihjer> what is listed in the software log?
[11:07] <Dialogue> I did
[11:07] <Dialogue> how do I check
[11:07] <oiihjer> i second the reboot
[11:07] <ObrienDave> shutdown or reboot?
[11:08] <Dialogue> both
[11:08] <Dialogue> did both
[11:08] <oiihjer> sudo shutdown -r now
[11:08] <ObrienDave> k
[11:08] <Dialogue> I did shutdown
[11:08] <Dialogue> after I get error message
[11:08] <Dialogue> can't mount usb
[11:08] <ObrienDave> that would have been nice to know earlier ;P
[11:08] <Dialogue> I read it is problem with 14.04
[11:08] <oiihjer> do you ubuntu guys still have grub list previous kernel versions on boot?
[11:08] <ObrienDave> oiihjer, i do
[11:09] <oiihjer> It's been a while since I used ubuntu
[11:09] <oiihjer> try booting the previous kernel
[11:09] <Dialogue> now I can't install another linux because can't use the stick
[11:09] <Dialogue> how do I change it
[11:09] <Dialogue> to previous kernel
[11:10] <Dialogue> from boot
[11:10] <Dialogue> what do I press
[11:10] <Dialogue> to show the screen with options
[11:10] <Dialogue> do you know
[11:10] <ObrienDave> Dialogue, in GRUB menu, advanced options, i think
[11:10] <Dialogue> how do I get the grub menu to appear
[11:10] <oiihjer> when you start your computer, grub boot loader should list previous kernel versions (or it used to when I used ubuntua few years back), choose the previous one by using your arrow keys and hitting enter
[11:11] <Dialogue> because mine goes directly to load
[11:11] <Dialogue> it does not show menu
[11:11] <ObrienDave> Dialogue, hold shift key
[11:11] <Dialogue> it loads directly
[11:11] <Dialogue> shift key
[11:11] <Dialogue> ok
[11:11] <Dialogue> will do thanks
[11:12] <oiihjer> if your usb echi, uhci and ohci work, then your kernel isn't compiled to support usb 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0
[11:13] <wondersea> Hello! Pls give me advice. How make netinstall from server for hosts(where users working)?
[11:13] <oiihjer> *if your usb won't work, then it's not compiled correctly is what i meant,
[11:13] <oiihjer> typos :(
[11:13]  * ObrienDave shoots google translate
[11:15] <oiihjer> in which case, maybe reinstalling the ubuntu-linux kernel through apt-get or the ubuntu software store (I think it's called)

[11:17] <peja_> I just upgraded my system to new LTS, but only problem is apache all my sites saying forbidden. Any idea why?
[11:17] <cfhowlett> !manual | ashinu
[11:17] <cfhowlett> Ashinu, "flexible" ???
[11:17] <oiihjer> I shouldn't be answering any questions in here, I haven't used Ubuntu in quite some time
[11:18] <oiihjer> I actually came in here to see what the big new thing Ubuntu is working on, if anyone knows?
[11:18] <cfhowlett> oiihjer, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:18] <oiihjer> cfhowlett: kewl, i'll ask there
[11:18] <Ashinu> Okay. I'll check it out. Thanks. By flexible, I meant, compatible with applications like Steam, Nvidia GeForce Experience and so on.
[11:19] <cfhowlett> !nvidia | Ashinu, steam is directly supported
[11:19] <oiihjer> ubuntu is compatible with all of that
[11:19] <bazhang> !steam | Ashinu

[11:21] <Alternate> I read ubuntu has some spyware inside, how would I remove it on a clean isntall?

[11:21] <cfhowlett> *read somewhere* ...
[11:23] <Alternate> i think it's that amazon thing
[11:23] <Alternate> easy to remove?
[11:23] <cfhowlett> !amazon

[11:31] <rustyraptor> Does it matter what speed I set dd at?
[11:31] <rustyraptor> I am putting knoppix on a USB
[11:31] <cfhowlett> rustyraptor, man dd         for your options
[11:33] <rustyraptor> oh I see
[11:33] <rustyraptor> if my USB has that U3 crapware can it still be used to boot Linux?
[11:34] <leeyaa> hello
[11:34] <leeyaa> is there a reason why init.d script for php5-fpm in 14.04 LTS is not working ?
[11:35] <veve> hi. Fresh Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Problem: Google Chrome is not opening (while Chromium and Firefox browsers - OK).
[11:35] <tomodachi> try starting it from terminal to see if you get any output with an error
[11:35] <tomodachi> veve:
[11:35] <ObrienDave> rustyraptor, U3 has been discontinued. you can reformat and use for Linux. i have several ;P
[11:36] <samuraiRM> command for del file??
[11:36] <tomodachi> samuraiRM: rm filename
[11:36] <samuraiRM> name-file.*
[11:36] <samuraiRM> tk
[11:36] <tomodachi> np
[11:37] <veve> tomodachi: /usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:37] <samuraiRM> because bash?
[11:37] <rustyraptor> Do i have to use windows to reformat it? I have this u3-tool installed but I am not sure if it will fix it
[11:39] <ObrienDave> rustyraptor, nope, gparted will do it. also you can use unetbootin, usb-creator, etc. to overwrite the USB
[11:39] <samuraiRM> i create e file . .gtkrc-2.0
[11:39] <samuraiRM> for icons name
[11:40] <rustyraptor> but I used gparted and the U3 won't show up. It only shows up as  a CD rom net to the USB in the file manager
[11:40] <rustyraptor> but will it still work if I format the USB part and dd the iso to it
[11:40] <ObrienDave> yes
[11:41] <gr33n7007h> !info libudev0
[11:41] <rustyraptor> alright thanks
[11:41] <ObrienDave> use gparted to write a new partition table. that will clear U3
[11:41] <leeyaa> guys any idea why php5-fpm init.d script is not working on fresh 14.04 LTS ?
[11:42] <ObrienDave> rustyraptor, FYI, U3 died 5 years ago
[11:42] <leeyaa> ah wait it is upstart job lmao
[11:43] <leeyaa> i wish init.d scripts on ubuntu were giving some actual useful output
[11:43] <leeyaa> rather than being silent
[11:43] <ObrienDave> gr33n7007h, still with the libudev0???
[11:44] <gr33n7007h> ObrienDave, for veve
[11:45] <ObrienDave> gr33n7007h, ah, thought psylocibin or Samwise were back ROFLMAO

[12:09] <ejosiah> I've got a climax digital display adaptor USB 2.0
[12:09] <ejosiah> anyone know where I can find a driver for it?
[12:09] <someNewbie> I think it has to do with the packages such as "libgssapi-krb5-2" gss and krb appear to be important parts of a secure network
[12:09] <bipul> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035602/ please check this
[12:09] <someNewbie> So im trying to work out if I can downgrade it
[12:10] <someNewbie> the command apt-cache showpkg should show versions available which I can then run "apt-get install packagename-version"
[12:10] <bipul> this is mine dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035602/
[12:10] <someNewbie> but the packages dont seem to have an earlier version?
[12:11] <bipul> this is mine dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035602/ and syslog

[12:12] <k1l> bipul: check ram for failures
[12:13] <BlaXpirit> very nice to get an unexisting locale
[12:13] <BlaXpirit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035637/
[12:13] <BlaXpirit> (there is no such thing as "en_UA")
[12:14] <BlaXpirit> and I've never set anything to it
[12:14] <bipul> sorry for those logs , as i am new to this client konversation
[12:14] <k1l> bipul: check ram for failures
[12:15] <geirha> BlaXpirit: someone's typoed US as UA probably
[12:15] <BlaXpirit> nope
[12:15] <bipul> k1l: I am looking for the solution.
[12:16] <k1l> !memtest | bipul
[12:17] <someNewbie> how can I find the version of this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgssapi-krb5-2 which I previously had installed before apt-get upgrade
[12:17] <k1l> bipul: run memtest from the grub-menue to test the ram
[12:18] <geirha> BlaXpirit: Well, the default one shouldn't contain any values for LC_*
[12:18] <BlaXpirit> this doesn't mean anything to me
[12:18] <bipul> ok
[12:20] <someNewbie> OHHHH Dont worry its listed in the /var/log/apt/history.log file my bad, sorry for wasting anyones time
[12:20] <bipul> k1l: If my RAM is ok then? what i have to do? or  else if it not then?
[12:21] <bipul> if it is not then*
[12:21] <jackarius86> hi, anyone here familiar with aria client?
[12:22] <k1l> bipul: let memtest run for a while. if it brings up errors check if only one ram bank or other ram can fix that. see the manufacturers compatibility lists.
[12:22] <BlaXpirit> GAH WHERE DOES IT TAKE THE STUPID UNEXISTING LOCALE FROM
[12:23] <geirha> maybe some broken package modified it
[12:23] <acer> hi
[12:23] <mjayk> hi
[12:23] <geirha> BlaXpirit: anyway, to fix, just change the file to contain the two lines LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=en:uk
[12:24] <BlaXpirit> it was like this
[12:24] <zyan> Hey everyone. I was wondering how you can change just the top right icons in the top bar. I have a custom icon theme, and I dont want to change that. I just want to change the small icons in the top right.
[12:25] <BlaXpirit> geirha, changed it. and then what?
[12:26] <geirha> BlaXpirit: now it's fixed, unless you're overriding the values in some other file(s) like /etc/environment, ~/.pam_environment, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc ...
[12:26] <BlaXpirit> geirha, okaaaay
[12:27] <BlaXpirit> ~/.pam_environment overrides it
[12:27] <BlaXpirit> but it doesn't have en_UA anywhere
[12:27] <sh4tr> at boot i see " ic2 ic2-4: sendbytes: NAK bailout "  ic2 must be gpu temp sensor, is this familiar to anyone?
[12:28] <bipul> k1l: I did memtest  now what?
[12:28] <kaloyan> i just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 gnome sessions dont start, only xface one any help?
[12:28] <frsfett4> any chance to get libhd16_16.0-2.2_i386.deb?
[12:29] <k1l> bipul: way too short time amount
[12:29] <cfhowlett> kaloyan, did you install xfce4?
[12:29] <frsfett4> All links of libhd16_16.0-2.2_i386.deb r gone.
[12:29] <kaloyan> nope
[12:29] <kaloyan> cfhowlett, nope
[12:29] <cfhowlett> kaloyan, sudo apt-get install xfce4
[12:30] <kaloyan> cfhowlett, it is installed
[12:30] <cfhowlett> kaloyan, log out.  choose xfce session.  login
[12:31] <dustylinux> kumusta kamo
[12:31] <cfhowlett> dustylinux, English???
[12:32] <lordd_> kumusta kamo, indeed
[12:32] <kaloyan> cfhowlett xfce session workz i want the gnome sessions to work...
[12:32] <cfhowlett> kaloyan, outside my area of knowledge ...
[12:32] <cfhowlett> !ghome
[12:32] <cfhowlett> !gnome
[12:32] <dustylinux> im using linux mint17 any idea how to uninstall programs? im a newbie
[12:33] <eeee_> kaloyan: a hack, nano .xinitrc and uncomment or type exec gnome-session
[12:33] <k1l> !mint | dustylinux
[12:33] <ObrienDave> cfhowlett, keyboard abuse ;P
[12:33] <linux-graphics> has anyone tried the new ubuntu mate alpha 2?
[12:33]  * cfhowlett tourette's 
[12:33] <ObrienDave> lol
[12:33] <kevinchen_> chromium damn slow.
[12:33] <cfhowlett> !details | linux-graphics,
[12:33] <kevinchen_> It consumes a lot of ram
[12:34] <ObrienDave> really??? nah
[12:34] <bipul> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035749/ can you please see this log and let me know the solution. why i am getting freeze.
[12:34] <SonicTsunami> if I could boot a live usb version of ubuntu with some of the F6 options in place, but cannot boot an installed version, what might i need to do?
[12:34] <linux-graphics> just interested in its performace and stability, also any key diferences between it and mint mate
[12:34] <BlaXpirit> why
[12:35] <cfhowlett> bipul, I noticed that your /swap is maxed out.  abnormal.  I can't advise beyond that
[12:35] <BlaXpirit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035778/
[12:35] <kevinchen_> how to install lx-viewer ob ubuntu?
[12:35] <cfhowlett> linux-graphics, install both and test for yourself?  they ARE free
[12:35] <kevinchen_> I download from sourceforge
[12:35] <bipul> cfhowlett: So you want me to extand the swap partition.
[12:35] <k1l> !find lx-viewer
[12:36] <cfhowlett> bipul, didn't say that.  merely pointed out that something is different.  please ask someone with more knowledge than me.
[12:36] <linux-graphics> i know... just wondering what others think
[12:36] <cfhowlett> kevinchen_, look for support on sourceforge.  README file?
[12:36] <k1l> kevinchen_: did you read the INSTALL file?
[12:37] <kevinchen_> yes, but no guideline on installation on ubuntu.
[12:37] <bipul> cfhowlett: No one is responding to me.
[12:37] <kevinchen_> https://www.google.com.tw/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCkQjBAwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Flx-viewer.sourceforge.net%2Fdownload.php&ei=CVzrU5WVJ4yKyATSoYCQAw&usg=AFQjCNFA2Z8qLtctl6ZW1u1rVSD-vzx0iw&bvm=bv.72938740,d.aWw
[12:37] <cfhowlett> !patience | bipul
[12:38] <kevinchen_> lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/
[12:38] <kaloyan> eeee_ throws exceptions and doesnt do anything
[12:38] <k1l> bipul: a 10seconds memtest is way to short to test the ram. let it run several hours to be sure the ram is fine
[12:39] <kevinchen_> Any chance to get this app run on ubuntu?
[12:39] <kaloyan> eeee_ when i typed exec gnome-session
[12:39] <cfhowlett> kevinchen_, it's not an ubuntu repo program, and there' s no support offered on site.  Maybe you shouldn't mess with it.  Contact the program creators for support.  It's third party software
[12:39] <alex123456> guys, i need some help with my xubuntu 14.04 desktop
[12:39] <eeee_> kaloyan: try gnome-session in a terminal
[12:39] <SonicTsunami> can someone help with boot options
[12:39] <kevinchen_> Yes, 3rd party app.
[12:40] <alex123456> besides conky, is there another app that i can use to add a watch on my desktop?
[12:40] <cfhowlett> kevinchen_, so not supported by ubuntu or here.
[12:42] <cfhowlett> !details | alex123456,
[12:42] <eeee_> alex123456: type xclock in the terminal
[12:42] <eeee_> :p
[12:42] <alex123456> thanks eeee_
[12:42] <alex123456> :)
[12:43] <k1l> alex123456: some desktops have desklets or widgets
[12:43] <eeee_> alex123456: conky is very customizable, and there are alot of scripts online
[12:44] <alex123456> the thing is i ran into some problems with conky, that is why i wanted an alternative
[12:44] <alex123456> i am running xubuntu 14.04
[12:46] <ssarah> guys, i installed ubuntu with home folder encryption, now when i change my password it wont let me login. i know i can ctrl+alt+f2 and mount my home manually, and then login manually
[12:46] <ssarah> with the new password, but what do i do to fix this?
[12:48] <lullis> @ssarah: ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ?
[12:49] <BlaXpirit> LANG=en_UA.UTF-8  no matter what i do
[12:49] <ssarah> after i mount it manually, lullis?
[12:50] <eeee_> BlaXpirit: ?
[12:50] <BlaXpirit> that's an unexisting locale
[12:50] <BlaXpirit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035778/
[12:50] <k1l> BlaXpirit: i bet its a typo from en_US
[12:50] <BlaXpirit> no, it's not!!!
[12:50] <k1l> sure it is
[12:50] <BlaXpirit> it's goddamn ubuntu overriding something somewhere
[12:50] <BlaXpirit> look at the paste
[12:51] <BlaXpirit> and tell me in what place the typo is
[12:53] <lullis> Sorry I wasn't that clear... take a look at this: http://goshawknest.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/how-to-change-ecryptfs-home-cripted-filesystem-password-on-ubuntu-and-get-your-files-back/
[12:53] <k1l> BlaXpirit: what about /etc/profile ?
[12:54] <BlaXpirit> k1l, it's unchanged from original
[12:54] <k1l> or ~/.bash_profile
[12:55] <BlaXpirit> no such file
[12:55] <k1l> sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[12:55] <eeee_> BlaXpirit: sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
[12:55] <BlaXpirit> no woky
[12:55] <eeee_> ?
[12:55] <ddsf> Are extra packages required to do iptables MASQUERADE on -server?
[12:56] <ddsf> i am getting no chain/traget by that name
[12:56] <k1l> BlaXpirit: what ubuntu is that exactly? what machine?
[12:56] <ldiamond> 12.04 -> 14.04.01 fails: Could not calculate the upgrade This can be caused by * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu, * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu, * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
[12:56] <xxx1337> If you're a contractor at some company should you ask about how long you your chances of staying around will be?
[12:56] <k1l> BlaXpirit: what did you do with the locales settings? what did you do before that issue came up?
[12:57] <xxx1337> long your chances*
[12:57] <k1l> !ot | xxx1337
[12:57] <BlaXpirit> I did update-locale
[12:57] <BlaXpirit> Ubuntu 14.04.1
[12:57] <k1l> so there was a typo then?
[12:57] <BlaXpirit> no
[12:58] <BlaXpirit> please stop it, I didn't make a typo
[12:59] <k1l> BlaXpirit: you can see in .bash_history if you did that typo
[12:59] <BlaXpirit> k1l, yes
[12:59] <BlaXpirit> and I didn't fkin make a typo please stop
[12:59] <ddsf> Are extra packages required to do iptables MASQUERADE on -server?
[12:59] <bazhang> BlaXpirit, no cursing here
[12:59] <k1l> BlaXpirit: so set the localses to the right ones again: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76013/how-do-i-add-locale-to-ubuntu-server
[13:00] <BlaXpirit> I did
[13:00] <ObrienDave> BlaXpirit, https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1327527
[13:00] <geirha> BlaXpirit: how about   grep 'LANG=' ~/.* /etc/* /etc/profile.d/* /etc/default/* 2>/dev/null
[13:01] <BlaXpirit> BTW I've added  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to all the files that you mentioned, so it won't be pretty
[13:01] <smemsky> Hi everyone
[13:01] <BlaXpirit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8035973/
[13:01] <k1l> so its a PPA causing that issue. ok, nice to blame ubuntu for that m(
[13:01] <BlaXpirit> i haven't added any ppa
[13:02] <lullis> @ssarah, any success?
[13:02] <ddsf> Hallo? Anyone ever done MASQUERADE on ubuntu?
[13:03] <BlaXpirit> and believe it or not, even with all these overrides,  `locale` still says   LANG=en_UA.UTF-8
[13:03] <geirha> BlaXpirit: So definitely sounds like a bug, but I have no clue where to look either :/
[13:04] <BlaXpirit> WHERE does it get it from
[13:04] <BlaXpirit> omg
[13:04] <smemsky> anybody needs sex?
[13:04] <geirha> BlaXpirit: oh wait, do the same grep for LC_ALL=
[13:04] <smemsky> i am 19

[13:05] <smemsky> sorry man
[13:05] <frib> I've managed to make my bluetooth work following the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2231813 -- but after reboot i have to run the python script again.  is there anyway I can make this fix permanent? thanks
[13:05] <ldiamond> oh well, because I use gnome panel I can't upgrade 12.04 to 14.04?
[13:05] <geirha> LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ? ok. I'm out of ideas :/
[13:06] <geirha> BlaXpirit: oh, and you realize the change will only take affect after you log in, right?
[13:06] <geirha> opening a new terminal will do nothing
[13:06] <BlaXpirit> i relogged a ton
[13:06] <geirha> ok, good
[13:07] <BlaXpirit> well I didn't after the most recent actions. gonna upgrade system and then relog again
[13:07] <BlaXpirit> why did I even try to change language T_T
[13:08] <geirha> oh it happened after changing language via system settings?
[13:08] <BlaXpirit> I changed it in multiple ways
[13:08] <BlaXpirit> but at first the only thing I did was  update-locale
[13:08] <BlaXpirit> and then I got messages of breakage from apt-get
[13:09] <BlaXpirit> and  locale  reported the unexisting locales
[13:09] <BlaXpirit> but today i also tried to change via system settings
[13:09] <BlaXpirit> and it didn't help
[13:09] <geirha> really weird
[13:09] <smemsky> can anybody help me?

[13:35] <blammo> hi, i'm trying to test a fsck on boot when there is a corrupt file system.  is there a simple way to corrupt my file system via a tool or command?  i want it to tell me that i have to run fsck without -a
[13:35] <p34k> hey people i got windows 8.1 on my pc, and i want to use ubuntu in addition to that, on the same disk, usually autoboot win 8.1, and im not allowed to lose any data or destroy anything of this pc, no bootrecord etc, should i buy another HDD?
[13:36] <blammo> i tried editing a byte in a hex editor and it just fixed it without complaining
[13:36] <bazhang> p34k, what about a vbox
[13:36] <k1l> BlaXpirit: this channel is not for ranting and swearing. if you have a technical issue state it with as much informations as you can and people will try to help you.
[13:36] <p34k> whats that?
[13:36] <ObrienDave> !uefi | p34k,
[13:36] <bazhang> p34k, virtual machine, vbox
[13:37] <BlaXpirit> k1l, well, people were unable to help me with an actual problem
[13:37] <BlaXpirit> so ranting is all that's left to do
[13:37] <bazhang> BlaXpirit, this is not the place for it
[13:37] <p34k> so i can install a vbox and ubuntu into it?
[13:37] <bazhang> p34k, correct
[13:37] <ObrienDave> BlaXpirit, and you wonder why you've been ignored
[13:37] <bazhang> !vbox
[13:37] <BlaXpirit> I wasn't ignored
[13:37] <BlaXpirit> people were unable to help me
[13:37] <bazhang> p34k, see above
[13:38] <k1l> BlaXpirit: sorry but you did not tell the whole truth about what you did and what went wrong. we can only work with what you give us. so dont blame us or ubuntu for that. and again: this is not a channel for ranting
[13:39] <ObrienDave> especially if you don't want to heed advice
[13:39] <Pici> They're gone...
[13:39] <p34k> well people told me i should use UNIX for safety and so on. i think when i do use it on windows that effect wont apply. but its a good idea though.
[13:39] <navik> Hi I've got a problem with gnome terminal that makes parts of it swap back and forth between current and earlier, err, displays? for an example; If i do an ls in a dir with some colors it will display the content, then revert to how the terminal looked before doing the ls and then back again and so on. Once every second. Any ideas what might be causing this? I've just installed the ubuntu release 14.04.1 a couple of hours ago.
[13:39] <ldiamond> ugh?
[13:40] <navik> also some menues flickers and are laggy.
[13:40] <BlaXpirit> oh look, after reboot my locale is still broken
[13:40] <zagaza> what's a healthy memory usage percentage for a ubuntu vps?
[13:40] <p34k> is it possible to port ubuntu from a virtualbox to a real bootable version
[13:40] <p34k> later
[13:40] <ldiamond> p34k, yes, but not so straight forward
[13:40] <k1l> p34k: "for safety" is very vague. you can setup a dualboot with windows and ubuntu on one disk and set windows to be autoloaded in grub menue. but there is a chance of manual failure while setting that up
[13:40] <ldiamond> p34k, and know that Unix is not Linux
[13:41] <p34k> i thought one is on top of the other
[13:41] <ldiamond> Linux is an OS written by Linus Torvalds that is "inspired by" Unix.
[13:41] <cfhowlett> !linux | p34k,
[13:41] <ldiamond> Linux is basically a clone rewrite.
[13:41] <amratya> Hello, I'm trying to install a package from the software center and it stuck with "applying changes" for long time, when I use apt-get to install the package, I got this message "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
[13:42] <ldiamond> Well, historically, nowadays they evolved separately
[13:42] <p34k> and linux uses unix right?
[13:42] <ldiamond> no
[13:42] <eeee_> amratya: cancel the install if possible and reinstall
[13:42] <bazhang> !manual | p34k please have a read
[13:42] <amratya> eeee_, I can't
[13:43] <ldiamond> Linux is basically Linus Torvalds rewriting Unix.
[13:43] <bazhang> p34k, it's a free pdf download
[13:43] <eeee_> amratya: can you close the software center?
[13:43] <ObrienDave> amratya, that means you have multiple updaters running. shut down synaptic, gdebi, etc. and try again
[13:43] <navik> it's a fork
[13:43] <ldiamond> it was never really forked iirc, Unix's license wasn't allowing that.
[13:43] <navik> it was minix
[13:43] <navik> not unix
[13:44] <bazhang> ;lets get back on topic please
[13:44] <navik> minix had a different license
[13:44] <ObrienDave> amratya, log off and try again
[13:44] <cfhowlett> !ot
[13:44] <magicflakes> hmm.. I still don't see my nvdia video card in lspci.. what's wrong with 14.04? I was able to use it using 12.04.
[13:44] <bazhang> which card magicflakes
[13:44] <amratya> eeee_, ObrienDave   when trying to use software center again it happens again and again
[13:45] <bazhang> magicflakes, what does sudo lshw show
[13:45] <ObrienDave> amratya, log off, shut down, whatever it takes
[13:45] <magicflakes> lshw show
[13:45] <eeee_> amratya: use apt-get install
[13:45] <magicflakes> oh sorry
[13:45] <bazhang> magicflakes, no show in there
[13:45] <p34k> so how do i install a virtualbox and then the latest ubuntu on it?
[13:45] <hualet_deepin_> amratya: just remove the lock file and using the command line tool to update or install your software, its more reliable
[13:45] <ObrienDave> amratya, apt-get install -f
[13:45] <bazhang> magicflakes, just: sudo lshw
[13:45] <magicflakes> oh sorry

[13:46] <bazhang> p34k, read the link I gave you about that
[13:46] <bazhang> !vbox | p34k
[13:48] <p34k> ok thank you guys for this
[13:48] <bazhang> p34k, there is also a channel #vbox you can join for even more info
[13:49] <magicflakes> how do you pipe an output to the clipboard?
[13:49] <bazhang> magicflakes, why not use pastebinit instead
[13:49] <k1l> !pastebinit | magicflakes
[13:50] <bazhang> magicflakes, command | pastebinit magicflakes gives you a url for what you just did from the cli
[13:50] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install pastebinit magicflakes
[13:50] <magicflakes> okay
[13:50] <bazhang> dont install yourself
[13:51] <bazhang> just : sudo apt-get install pastebinit

[13:53] <magicflakes> the nvidia showed up when 12.04 had a hardware update.
[13:53] <magicflakes> I installed the update and then it showed up. Its not showing up now.
[13:54] <magicflakes> I upgraded to 14.04.1
[13:55] <magicflakes> Its only showing the intel vga :(
[14:01] <pseubodot> Apparently skype is requiring a new client in order to connect to the service

[14:09] <bazhang> Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
[14:09] <bazhang> magicflakes, this a notebook?
[14:09] <magicflakes> bazhang: a laptop.. i guess.. not sure what the difference is..
[14:10] <bazhang> magicflakes, did you add another video card to it, apart from the integrated graphics built in?
[14:11] <magicflakes> bazhang: no, it is already inside when I bought it. This is the one http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K52JC/specifications/
[14:12] <gartral> ooook... i'm in a.. weird situation.. I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and something really strange is going on, 14.04 is telling me my home partition has errors, but when i pull the drive and check it on another machine, it comes back clean... any ideas?
[14:12] <TaZeR> its asus, all their notebooks break
[14:13] <bazhang> thats not helpful TaZeR
[14:13] <TaZeR> try a more reliable american brand such as HP
[14:13] <TaZeR> but that is ^
[14:13] <zealotnagah-6495> HP is reliable?
[14:13] <bazhang> TaZeR, no its not. so please stop
[14:13] <TaZeR> hp and lenovo are the go to for notebooks
[14:13] <TaZeR> just dont buy the cheap crap
[14:13] <TaZeR> those are all the same no matter company makes it
[14:13] <TaZeR> buy the buisness types
[14:14] <TaZeR> will last forever
[14:14] <TaZeR> probook, elitebook, thinkpad
[14:14] <cfhowlett> TaZeR, ease up, in fact STOP using the return key please.
[14:14] <zealotnagah-6495> i've bought a really cheap $350 acer tiny transformer book - the best laptop i've ever had
[14:14] <zealotnagah-6495> sorry i mean asus
[14:14] <TaZeR> chewy: i format my text exactly how i want it
[14:15] <TaZeR> its conveys what i am saying clearer
[14:15] <gartral> in support of this, if i hit "C" to cancel the disk-check and "I" to continue, my system boots as normal
[14:15] <shmup> so did a dist-upgrade, using an ati card with proprietary drivers, rebooted, black screen. held down shift, this time i chose the last kernel (before update) and it works fine. now, does this mean i should just wait for a graphic card driver udpate?
[14:16] <shmup> this is a work machine. i think maybe i won't even do dist-upgrades that often.
[14:16] <k1l> TaZeR: please re read the guidelines and make sure you help having a warm and friendly channel for everyone. thanks
[14:16] <gartral> shmup: all you need to do is reinstall the driver, something may have gone wrong compiling/installing the driver..
[14:17] <magicflakes> maybe it has to do something with the upgrade.. maybe if 14.04 will release a hardware update then it will fix the additional drivers..
[14:17] <TaZeR> kil: check and check
[14:17] <magicflakes> I mean it will show up in the additional drivers..
[14:18] <gartral> shmup: can you get us logs?
[14:18] <shmup> gartral: magicflakes thanks. yes i will first just try reinstalling the drive
[14:19] <magicflakes> i was talking to myself..hehe
[14:20] <arcas> hi everyone
[14:20] <shmup> gartral: a weakness of mine is knowing which log i'd even care about at this point, after i've rebooted and am running old kernel
[14:21] <shmup> gartral: but i'm at work and should probably be productive a bit. note to self to check logs later, also try reinstalling video drivers.
[14:21] <gartral> try in /var/log/apt
[14:21] <shmup> well that's a handy log
[14:21] <arcas> Who could help me with a mysql server 5.6 installed on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[14:21] <cfhowlett> !server | arcas,
[14:22] <gartral> shmup: trust me, i know exactly how frustrating it is when something semi-automated like a dist-upgrade goes south..
[14:22] <shmup> heh, yeah.. well luckily using last kernel works for now. i'll problem solve later. thanks for pointing in _a_ direction
[14:23] <arcas> I'm not on the right chat room ?
[14:24] <hyde> arcas: that depends on your problem, i suppose
[14:24] <cfhowlett> arcas, server channel specializes is server issues so : mysql server?
[14:24] <somsip> arcas: what's your real issue?
[14:26] <hyde> arcas: also, "don't ask to ask, just ask", otherwise you probably get a silence, or sometimes rarely a bunch of people asking what you want to ask.
[14:29] <arcas> Okay .. thanks you for your answers. Well when I install mysql server 5.6 on my ubuntu 14.04 I get every time an error exit status 1 I want to clear that I did create a server, I try to prepare my machine and remove on good foundation for later development and programming in php
[14:30] <arcas> Hyde : Okay, I am new on irc xchat that's why I hesitated to ask lol
[14:31] <somsip> arcas: how are you installing mysql? At what point do you get an error?
[14:33] <Razik> Who knows this game Marble blast ultra ?
[14:33] <reeed> hi all i just upgraded to 14.04 LTS and the existing NVidia driver has reversed my 2 screens! I need to install the latest NVidia driver. How do I boot to 'runlevel 3' (ie do not start X) ?
[14:34] <somsip> !text | reeed
[14:34] <reeed> TY !!
[14:35] <rypervenche> reeed: You can also use ctrl+alt+F2 to get into a TTY once you've booted the machine. From there you can log in and type "telinit 3" to go back to run level 3.
[14:39] <mlindner> Hi I have a problem when cloning a VM or moving a disk from one computer ot another
[14:39] <mlindner> the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules causes the MAC address to automatically be updated
[14:40] <mlindner> or something updates that file anyway
[14:40] <mlindner> for some reason this causes eth0 to go away
[14:40] <mlindner> and eth1 to be created
[14:40] <mlindner> How do I prevent this behavior
[14:47] <arcas> somsip : I typed this command line: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 mysql-client-5.6
[14:47] <arcas> Then I had to create a root password, I confirmed and it is after this that the terminal indicated the status 1 error output
[14:47] <arcas> And dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.6 (--configure)
[14:47] <arcas>   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[14:47] <arcas> Errors were encountered while processing:
[14:47] <arcas>   mysql-server-5.6
[14:47] <unopaste> arcas you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[14:48] <cfhowlett> !mysql
[14:48] <teksal> mlindner: make sure eth's MAC remains same, not randomly generated by virtualiser
[14:49] <somsip> arcas: can you pastebin the entire output with the error details.
[14:49] <somsip> !paste | arcas
[14:50] <mlindner> teksal: well I'm moving them between systems, so t he MACs should be changing
[14:50] <peak> how do i start my ubuntu desktop?
[14:51] <mlindner> teksal: how do I prevent the eth interface from changing despite MAC changing
[14:51] <mlindner> its a bunch of stock computers that are all the same
[14:51] <teksal> mlindner: dont know that much
[14:51] <arcas> !paste | somsip
[14:51] <mlindner> so need to be able to copy it to each system
[14:51] <peak> hey people. i have a commandline for ubuntu now how do i start the desktop
[14:52] <Chaser-> startx
[14:52] <peak> doesnt work :-/
[14:53] <peak> does ubuntu server contain a desktop?
[14:53] <somsip> peak: no
[14:53] <hyde> peak: not installed by default
[14:53] <mlindner> peak: not by default

[14:53] <peak> omg
[14:53] <cfhowlett> peak, server's don't have gui's by default
[14:53] <arcas> 1
[14:53] <arcas> 2

[14:53] <mlindner> servers shouldn't have guis
[14:54] <Chaser-> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[14:54] <peak> i wanted to use ubuntu on virtualbox and they said i have to install the server version
[14:54] <somsip> Chaser-: peak or something a bit lighter maybe...
[14:54] <mlindner> peak: who said? they were wrong...
[14:54] <peak> susi
[14:54] <cfhowlett> peak that is absolutely NOT true.
[14:54] <mlindner> peak: you can use any version of ubuntu on virtualbox
[14:54] <hyde> peak: I suggest lubuntu-desktop for VM
[14:55] <somsip> peak: desktop version would have been fine. But you can put a desktop on server version as Chaser has said (and unity *can* be okay on VM - I stand corrected)
[14:55] <peak> thx
[14:55] <teksal> Hi, default umask is 002, which gives rx permission to everyone. Will anything break if I make it 007? (this is a desktop, not server)
[14:55] <hyde> it installs a bunch of desktop apps through, but it should give you fully integrated desktop environment
[14:56] <Chaser-> I like lubuntu as well
[14:56] <peak> do i have to start it manually every time
[14:56] <hyde> alternatives: xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, gnome-desktop
[14:56] <Chaser-> I have it on a slower machine
[14:56] <hyde> peak: no
[14:56] <somsip> peak: as hyde - something lighter might be more suitable
[14:56] <cfhowlett> hyde, if you merely want a gui, sudo apt-get install lxde         will get you that
[14:56] <hyde> peak: when you install one of the desktop packages, it will set up a gui login for you
[14:57] <hyde> peak: you may have to reboot after installing the package though (or run the right command to start it, but easier to just reboot)
[14:57] <peak> i didnt know its so difficult oO
[14:57] <peak> how should i know anything of this
[14:57] <hyde> peak: it's not. one command, reboot, and you're in desktop. youjust gotta choose
[14:57] <somsip> peak: doing things wrong under bad advice often results in that
[14:57] <flakerimi1> how can I enable apache to ip from outside, cannot access
[14:57] <hyde> which desktop
[14:57] <peak> but where do i find that command
[14:57] <peak> if im not using a virtual machine?
[14:58] <peak> im really happy i didnt install this ontop of win8.1
[14:58] <cfhowlett> !install | peak, a little reading saves a lot of pain ...
[14:58] <hyde> peak: anyway, if you want one command: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[14:59] <hyde> ...for LXDE used by Lubuntu variant
[14:59] <peak> im happy when i can finally run some coding environment on ubuntu
[14:59] <hyde> others I listed are also good, though the normal Unity one, ubuntu-desktop, can be a bit heavy
[14:59] <LogLevel9> Hi all. Having an odd issue with nss-pam-ldapd
[15:00] <Chaser-> peak, you can do this ... you're so close
[15:00] <ssarah> lullis: ty, i'll tell you the results as soon as i have a window to try it, right now im back to using the default password which seems to have solved it.
[15:00] <peak> is firefox in ubuntu installed or some other browser?
[15:00] <LogLevel9> I'm trying to remap homeDirectory from ldap to /home/uid and "map passwd homeDirectory "/home/$uid"" in nslcd is not working like it does in RHEL
[15:00] <hyde> peak: with what are you going to do development with? For some "real" purpose or for learning?
[15:00] <peak> both
[15:00] <hyde> peak: depends on the desktop environment. lubuntu-desktop install firefox
[15:01] <peak> i learned some basics of c, c++ ; soon i want to help to code for blender
[15:01] <peak> im learning python , and hopefully some html
[15:02] <david38400> I have just updated to ubuntu 14.04. What do I need to use my canon printer. Any help please
[15:03] <arcas> somsip : I typed this command line : apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 mysql-client-5.6
[15:03] <hualet_deepin> peak: which program language is blender using?
[15:03] <cfhowlett> peak, www.fullcirclemagazine.org   has comprehensive downloads and tutorials.  choose 1
[15:03] <david38400> any help with printers please
[15:03] <peak> its lot of c and c++ and python
[15:03] <cfhowlett> !printer | david38400,
[15:04] <hyde> david38400: can you launch the printer configuration UI?
[15:04] <hualet_deepin> peak: the programming language thing is pretty easy at some point compared with the 3D stuff, how will you deal with it ?
[15:05] <hualet_deepin> peak: just curious :)
[15:05] <jonlee_> how do you use the cd dvd player on ubuntu
[15:05]  * hyde thinks programming discussion is fast approaching offtopic for this channel...
[15:05] <hyde> jonlee_: insert disk?
[15:06] <jonlee_> ok
[15:06] <hualet_deepin> hyde: sorry ;)
[15:06] <peak> im studying engineering, i have math there, and a teacher who can help me

[15:06] <cfhowlett> peak, ##linux
[15:06] <takkun> Hii :D
[15:06] <dhci> hello I am seeing usb device descriptor read errors from a certan usb bus, is there a way to quiet these messages. perhaps I should just have them redirected to syslog or similar if they aren't already
[15:06] <takkun> is anyone available to help?
[15:06] <jonlee_> disk inserted
[15:06] <somsip> !ask | takkun
[15:07] <cfhowlett> peak, or go to www.fullcirclemagazine.org and download some tutorials.  this is not the channel for long discussions of coding
[15:07] <peak> they asked me..
[15:07] <david38400> hyde: how to I launch it?
[15:07] <cfhowlett> jonlee_, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras        will get you the multimedia codecs.
[15:07] <takkun> I'm sorry. I was hoping someone here could help me with battery issues I can facing on Ubuntu 14.04. I lose 1% of battery every minute.
[15:08] <cfhowlett> takkun, check your battery health.
[15:08] <david38400> cfhowlett, Its a canon mp250
[15:08] <hyde> david38400: on LXDE/Lubuntu it is "start menu"-System tools-printers
[15:09] <hyde> something similar on other desktops
[15:09] <takkun> I believe my battery health is perfect, I dual boot on this machine and I do not have this issue on Windows, also Windows has an application that tells me my battery health, and it says Condition is Good.
[15:09] <cfhowlett> david38400, add printer didn't work?
[15:09] <david38400> Ihyde:  dont know how UBuntu 14.04 works so where is start menu
[15:10] <jonlee_> i inserted a disk at ubuntu did not pick  it up at all
[15:10] <david38400> cfhowlett, I can find printers but it doesnt open
[15:10] <hyde> takkun: might be very laptop model specific issue... have you googled with laptop model and linux/ubuntu?
[15:10] <cfhowlett> david38400, ask again in channel.  I'm on xubuntu - different arrangement
[15:10] <hyde> takkun: I have not heard of a behaviour like that
[15:11] <david38400> cfhowlett, am i in the wrong channel for ubuntu 14.04?
[15:11] <svenx> takkun: you've tried powertop, i take it?
[15:11] <arcas> sorry about the time everyone I have a little trouble getting familiar with IRC
[15:11] <cfhowlett> david38400, you're in the right channel.  restate your issue for all
[15:11] <david38400> hyde, Where do I find the start menu please
[15:11] <hyde> jonlee_: is it a computer disk, or a movie DVD/music CD?
[15:11] <svenx> takkun: does the fan spin more than in windows?
[15:12] <hyde> david38400: on Unity (normal ubuntu desktop), no idea, sorry. but it shouldn't be too well hidden.
[15:12] <peak> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  <- i typed this in, and now i have a black screen
[15:12] <takkun> I'm sorry I have not tried power top. And the Fan is super silent. I would say it runs more in Windows, since I game on Windows.
[15:12] <jonlee_> it is a computer disk
[15:12] <peak> it runs yeah :D
[15:13] <hyde> arcas: it's ok, everybody makes mistakes. what matters is, if you learn from them :)
[15:13] <hyde> peak: remember to enable 3D acceleration for the virtual machine, or it might be... slow :)
[15:14] <hyde> jonlee_: can you open a file manager? and it does not see or display it?
[15:14] <jonlee_> no it doesnt show up at all
[15:15] <takkun> Would the fact that my Linux is installed on an SSD be a potential cause to the battery drainage?
[15:15] <cfhowlett> takkun, doubtful - not at the rate you cited
[15:15] <svenx> takkun: try powertop
[15:15] <peak> now i have a ubuntu background, no startmenu, what should i do :D
[15:16] <takkun> I'm am currently installing powertop. I will brb guys. I appreciate all the help :)
[15:16] <hyde> 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] <hyde> jonlee_: does it mount USB sticks automatically?
[15:16] <takkun> Guys quick question, when installing tars what is the best folder to install them in? I see differing answers around the web.
[15:16] <peak> is there a startmenu on ubuntu?
[15:17] <peak> where do i find it?
[15:17] <hyde> takkun: depends on what exactly is in the tar...
[15:17] <takkun> Hmm, well Im trying to install Power Top
[15:17] <hyde> takkun: if it is sources which need to be compiled, then setting prefix to /usr/local is common
[15:17] <svenx> sounds like you're doing it wrong :)
[15:17] <svenx> takkun: install it from the software manager, or apt-get install powerwop
[15:18] <takkun> oh! that would make it easier thank x3.
[15:18] <peak> hey guys, what should i do now, i have no gui on the gui
[15:19] <hyde> 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] <cfhowlett> peak, sudo startx
[15:19] <jonlee_> yes it does
[15:19] <peak> i did this
[15:19] <hyde> cfhowlett: umm... using sudo to run startx doesn't sound too good
[15:19] <peak> now i have a red background without anything on it
[15:19] <LogLevel9> 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] <cfhowlett> hyde, correct me as needed.  I have no ego
[15:19] <hyde> cfhowlett: doesn't it create a bunch of root-owned files in users home directory, for starters?
[15:19] <takkun> 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] <cfhowlett> !tar | takkun
[15:20] <takkun> Oh I just usually use terminal to open them. I find it easier.
[15:20] <hyde> takkun: I'd probably install it in the home directory, and not mess system directories with manually installed software
[15:21] <somsip> 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] <hyde> (assuming you have a personal computer and not shared)
[15:21] <peak> i think i have a desktop now without GUI
[15:21] <somsip> *worth leaving...
[15:21] <peak> is that possible
[15:21] <hyde> peak: yes
[15:21] <peak> how do i get a gui
[15:21] <hyde> did you reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop?
[15:21] <jonlee_> can someone help me with troubleshooting with cd rom

[15:22] <hyde> peak: sudo reboot
[15:22] <hyde> for example
[15:22] <hyde> alt-f1 to get to terminal if you are now in x without shell

[15:23] <peak> oh thx hyde
[15:23] <peak> what now?
[15:24] <peak> is there somewhere something i can read?
[15:24] <hyde> peak: you are in shell? then sudo reboot
[15:24] <peak> it seems like it didnt understand the command
[15:24] <hyde> are you logged in?
[15:24] <hyde> first log in, if it is asking for user name
[15:25] <peak> im logged in i think
[15:25] <peak> it writes to the shell what i type in
[15:25] <peak> but it doesnt do anything
[15:25] <hyde> peak: ?
[15:25] <f00dWorksta> help! opening any window freezes entire OS for like 15s
[15:25] <f00dWorksta> and indicators are completely broken
[15:25] <hyde> oh, yeah... hit ctrl-C
[15:26] <hyde> that's the one you did startx in
[15:26] <hyde> so it is running that
[15:26] <f00dWorksta> a restart fixes it, but I wanna see how to debug this
[15:26] <peak> ok :-)
[15:26] <peak> thx
[15:26] <jonlee_> hyde how would you go to the troubleshooting
[15:26] <takkun> 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] <f00dWorksta> this happens seemingly randomly
[15:26] <hyde> jonlee_: commands: dmsg, lsblk
[15:27] <hyde> first shows kernel messages, second lists block devices (like cd rom)
[15:27] <peak> thank you guys :-)
[15:27] <f00dWorksta> guys... seriously is there anywhere I should look at to try and debug this?
[15:28] <somsip> f00dWorksta: top, iostat. I'd start with something like that
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> takkun  type apt-cache show powertop to see what it does
[15:28] <peak> i have no mouse
[15:28] <peak> :-/
[15:29] <takkun> 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] <hyde> 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] <jonlee_> how do you get to that
[15:29] <hyde> f00dWorksta: anyway, you could see if `dmsg` shows anything suspicious, like some timout errors or device errors or something
[15:30] <peak> how do i get a mouse on the ubuntu desktop on a virtual machine?
[15:30] <hyde> peak: do you have a good internet connection? if so, download desktop version...
[15:31] <peak> ok
[15:31] <f00dWorksta> hyde: dmsg? or dmesg?
[15:31] <the_2nd> 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] <peak> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_as_Guest_OS
[15:31] <hyde> f00dWorksta: dmesg
[15:31] <takkun> typing in apt-cache show powertop simply shows information about what the program does.
[15:31] <peak> here it says its not working
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> peak: what did you use to virtualize?
[15:32] <hyde> peak: that page seems like it may be out of date...
[15:32] <jonlee_> hyde how do you open the  commands dmsg, lsblk
[15:33] <peak> virtualbox
[15:33] <peak> oracle
[15:33] <somsip> the_2nd: here's a primer http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/772396-how-to-make-a-fancy-and-useful-bash-prompt-in-linux-

[15:33] <takkun> Guys is a discharge rate of 18-20 W good? because thats what my laptop is doing
[15:33] <hyde> peak: anyway, I'm currently running 2 Ubuntus in a VM. One is 64 bit lubuntu. other is 32 bit server with lxde (desktop environment) installed.
[15:34] <somsip> Dragin1: noz - just tar xf ...
[15:34] <reeed> my X won't start after I installed new NVidia driver! the old kernel module is still being loaded, and conflicts with the new driver. how can i manually configure kernel modules to be loaded at boot?
[15:34] <Dragin1> thanks'
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> peak: http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/2008/virtualbox-install-guest-additions.jpg
[15:35] <hyde> but, I'm off now, good luck everybody
[15:35] <peak> lol now i have no more mouse in windows
[15:35] <peak> omg
[15:35] <hyde> f00dWorksta: one last note: you could try googling that... 99% of problems are something someone else has asked about at forums etc :)
[15:36] <hyde> peak: ah
[15:36] <hyde> note that the VM may grab the mouse. There's a key for releasing it, right control in VirtualBox by default... maybe that's what's happening?
[15:37] <hyde> ...though, mouse integration seems to work out-of-the-box for me lately, with VirtualBox
[15:37] <hyde> but you can toggle it, maybe you toggled it by accident
[15:37] <peak> how do i get my mouse back
[15:37] <jonlee_> how do you open the  commands dmsg, lsblk or get to it
[15:37] <hyde> in virtualbox, right control, just tap it once
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> peak  hit right ctrl key
[15:37] <peak> im out of the box
[15:37] <peak> but i have no mouse still
[15:38] <peak> im here in mirc
[15:38] <peak> i think i have to reboot
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> mirc, that's windows... are you in windows now?
[15:38] <peak> yes
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> peak  the why are you here?
[15:38] <ArTeS> lol
[15:38] <ArTeS> xD
[15:38] <peak> lol
[15:39] <peak> omg i hate ubuntu
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> peak  type /j ##windows (double #)
[15:39] <hyde> peak: it could also be a win8.1 issue (did you have that), I think there may be some incompatibilities with virtual machine applications... I'm not sure, I'm running win7 just in case
[15:39] <peak> i cant even reboot because i cant reach the reboot button of win8.1
[15:40] <peak> :D
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> peak  ask in ##windows how windows works
[15:40] <hyde> peak: ctrl-alt-del... what does that do in Win8.1?
[15:41] <Krone1232> same thing as in win7
[15:41] <mishravikas> Hi all I have ubuntu 14.04 on my dell laptop but I get black screen after suspend any solutions?
[15:42] <f00dWorksta> hyde: restarting lightdm fixed it...
[15:42]  * hyde wonders how the Win 8.1 can lose the mouse....
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> that guy hates ubuntu because he doesnt know how windows works -- i miss the logic in that
[15:43] <hyde> 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] <hyde> MonkeyDust: also, with the mouse issue, I suspect some Win8.1 - VirtualBox incompatibility is at play
[15:44] <cfhowlett> hyde, "they" told him ...
[15:44] <Dragin1> Thanks for the help somsip
[15:44] <hyde> peak, which reminds me, make sure you are running the latest version of VBox...
[15:44] <jonlee_> how do you open the  commands dmsg, lsblk or get to it
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  open a terminal, ctrl-alt t or in the menu
[15:45] <hyde> jonlee_: command prompt
[15:45]  * hyde now really gone
[15:46] <jonlee_> monkey dust opened the terminal
[15:46] <tch3k> hello!!
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  ok, now you can type commands, like lsblk
[15:47] <tch3k> some body have setup SAMBA + LDAP + FREENAS??
[15:47] <jonlee_> ok
[15:47] <winem> we use SAMBA + LDAP + NAS4FREE
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> tch3k: freenas isnt supported here
[15:48] <jonlee_> ok thats typed in
[15:48] <tch3k> do you have a tuto about SAMBA + LDAP + NAS4FREE?
[15:48] <jonlee_> now what
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> tch3k  type /j #freenas
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  depends on what you want to do or achieve
[15:49] <tch3k> ok
[15:51] <jonlee_> cd rom trouble shooting
[15:53] <Glowny> hello! after update ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 I can't log to kde or unity
[15:54] <Glowny> I reinstalled almost every package, but nothing helped
[15:55] <Glowny> after writing login and password only mouse + background stays on place, but no gui appear
[15:55] <jonlee_> monkey dust hyde told methe cd rom  needs some troubleshooting about why it's not automatically mounted,
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  what cd rom? what brings you here? what goes wrong?
[16:00] <jonlee_> ubuntu cant pick up my cd/or dvds of any kind
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[16:01] <jonlee_> what does that mean
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  in a terminal, type    cat /etc/issue
[16:02] <p34k> im back :-)
[16:02] <jonlee_> idone
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  ok, what's the output?
[16:02] <jonlee_> nothing it juat says the name of my computer
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  copy paste the output here
[16:03] <szuletett> what kind of cool things can I do with xubuntu?
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> szuletett  you can change wallpapers and more
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> szuletett  you can do computer things with xubuntu, like with any other modern computer
[16:06] <Glowny> can you help me with this after-upgrade gui bug? I installed openbox now, and it works
[16:07] <jonlee_> cat: /etc/issueoutput: No such file or directory

[16:08] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  no, type    cat /etc/issue     then hit enter, then copy what it says and paste that here
[16:09] <jonlee_> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  ok, great!
[16:09] <jonlee_> whats next
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  so, you can't read dvd's?
[16:10] <cfhowlett> !manual | szuletett,
[16:10] <cfhowlett> szuletett, also read www.fullcirclemagazine.org
[16:10] <jonlee_> yes actually its a set up disk for a wirless range extender
[16:10] <szuletett> thanks!
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  try another cd or dvd, can ubuntu read it?
[16:11] <jonlee_> no it cant
[16:12] <jonlee_> what do you think is wrong
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  i have not the faintest clue, let's try and find out
[16:13] <jonlee_> ok
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  in terminal, type lsblk, does it show the cd drive
[16:14] <Term1nal> Alright, attempting to mount an image to a loopback device with Disks, it's a ddrescue'd image of an NTFS drive, one partition of the image mounts just fine, the other (the one I care about) is giving me a "exited with non-zero exit status 21: fuse mount failed: Permission denied" why would one parition of the same image file mount, but not the other? I have the image file chowned to my user account.
[16:14] <JohnTalent> my laptop hard drive i think is crashing according to dmesg.
[16:14] <JohnTalent> backing up.
[16:14] <JohnTalent> cd/ls are not functional.
[16:15] <JohnTalent> is nautilus faster for backing up?
[16:15] <JohnTalent> i am using cp -a
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> JohnTalent  rsync -a is fast
[16:17] <Reminouche> hi everyone
[16:18] <Reminouche> anybody is here ?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Reminouche: nobody at all
[16:19] <JohnTalent> MonkeyDust: ok
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> JohnTalent: speed is dependant mainly on the hardware, and if you are doing a full copy, or differentials
[16:19] <jonlee_> no it says disks but nocd
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  did it work before?
[16:20] <Reminouche> I developped a dragon ball z fangame with a friend (for mobile), and i search... some feedbacks.
[16:21] <jonlee_> when i had windows it worked but never ubuntu
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Reminouche: this is support only, #ubuntu-offtopic may help
[16:21] <Reminouche> I don't need help
[16:21] <bazhang> Reminouche, try #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:22] <Reminouche> Just a feedback about my game, but if you are not interested about that it's not a problem
[16:22] <bazhang> its not on topic here Reminouche
[16:22] <Reminouche> I know...
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Reminouche: if you  know, why ask still?
[16:23] <JohnTalent> i am going to try fsck off of a live cd. i am hoping it's just a softare timing issue, but not likely.
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> jonlee_  then i don't know, i'm sure someone else can help better
[16:23] <Reminouche> I think that it's possible to speak differently subject here
[16:23] <JohnTalent> ActionParsnip: usb 3 on a toshiba laptop
[16:24] <bazhang> Reminouche, its not
[16:25] <Reminouche> my bad, have a good day
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> JohnTalent: then a full copy using nautilus will be slower then if you use rsync. Rsync will only update the changes to the files.
[16:37] <JohnTalent> achernya: rsync blows out all terminal instances.
[16:38] <reisio> blows out?
[16:40] <JohnTalent> yes blows out
[16:40] <JohnTalent> cp -a faster than nautilus i'm guessing
[16:41] <JohnTalent> 17 house to copy via nautilus
[16:42] <JohnTalent> oh well
[16:49] <chaotix> hi.  what version of debian is Ubuntu 14.04 based on?
[16:49] <chaotix> i cant seem to find that info on ubuntu's site or wikipedia
[16:50] <reisio> chaotix: Ubuntu is always based on unstable Debian
[16:50] <reisio> it's not versioned
[16:51] <chaotix> reisio, oh nvm io just found the answer too
[16:51] <chaotix> thanks, resolutions
[16:51] <chaotix> thanks, reisio
[16:51] <chaotix> **
[16:51] <reisio> :)
[16:51] <joelmo> im trying to upgrade from thar to unicorn with sudo do-release-upgrade but I get this: No new release found, and lsb_release -a says I am running trusty
[16:51] <chaotix> reisio, i just read that lts is always based on the stable debian, in this case wheezy
[16:52] <trism> chaotix: lts pull from testing actually, the rest from unstable
[16:52] <trism> chaotix: wheezy was testing when the cycle began
[16:53] <joelmo>  ah, i needed to add d-
[16:53] <joelmo> -d
[16:53] <reisio> yup, always unstable, like I said
[16:55] <Beldar> joelmo, Why a upgrade to a development not released?
[16:56] <joelmo> Beldar, I need to try a newer version of gnome-boxes
[16:57] <Beldar> joelmo, So risking a stable install seems like the best move?
[16:57] <PechosRey> hello why is the smbd and nmbd service running by default on ubuntu 14.04 LTS? Is it safe to uninstall it if not needed for filesharing?
[16:58] <Beldar> joelmo, Are you even sure 14.10 has a later release of it?
[16:59] <joelmo> Beldar, yes it has, everytime I login im prompted for sending a error report because something is said to be corrupted, if thinks go wrong i will reinstall anyway
[16:59] <Armadillos> PechosRey: I wouldn't un-install it, just disable it.
[16:59] <tona> hi guys how could i set one configure my ethernet adapter in ubuntu ?
[17:00] <daftykins> tona: care to rephrase "set one configure" ?
[17:00] <_> good evening
[17:01] <reisio> _: /nick somethingElse
[17:01] <PechosRey> Armadillos how do i do that i can`t identify them in systemsettings under services
[17:02] <PechosRey> also no startup script there to disable it
[17:02] <MoPac> Hello, I'm looking for some advice on how to enable the OnBoard keyboard at the login or unlock screen. The DConf variables for doing this seem to be deprecated and ignored -- what is the current procedure for using a soft keyboard to unlock/login?
[17:02] <tona> yes
[17:02] <tona> how could i configure one ethernet card adapter in ubunut ?
[17:03] <daftykins> tona: configure it how... with IP settings?
[17:03] <Beldar> joelmo, Here is the 14.10 version in a ppa that has trusty install https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/+index?field.series_filter=trusty
[17:04] <tona> i just need the path where should i confugre it ?
[17:04] <daftykins> tona: is this with server or desktop?
[17:04] <tona> ydesktop
[17:04] <daftykins> tona: then you can configure manually with network manager, there's no need to use config files
[17:05] <tona> i would like to configure it manually please
[17:05] <tona> :)
[17:05] <daftykins> you're ignoring what i'm saying
[17:05] <joelmo> Beldar, thanks, I should have used that
[17:05] <tona> ok tell me how could i configure it using network manager
[17:05] <PechosRey> i would also prefer to disable samba but i really can`t identify the service under systemsettings in service management or autostart
[17:05] <PechosRey> what`s the name for the samba deamons there?
[17:05] <Beldar> joelmo, Just be aware of ppa-purge if you need to purge it and all it's dependencies.
[17:06] <Mlar> Hi all.
[17:06] <reisio> hi mlar
[17:06] <p34k> hey people
[17:06] <Mlar> I was hoping someone might be able to help me with Skype?
[17:06] <p34k> i installed a vmachine and ubuntu server on it
[17:07] <p34k> the description says i should install linux-image-extra-virtual
[17:07] <tona> ok i found it, normally how to restart the services into ubuntu
[17:07] <p34k> how do install it
[17:07] <Mlar> After version 4.2 stopped working I had a search, and I realise I need to install 4.3. I've added the canonical parters on software sources - but the new version still does not show up. Any ideas?
[17:07] <p34k> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_as_Guest_OS here last chaptor
[17:08] <saik0> trying to downgrade a packge with apt-get install pkgname=version, results in  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[17:08] <daftykins> tona: service restart isn't necessary when using network-manager
[17:08] <OerHeks> Mlar, running 14.04 here, with 4.3 from softwarecenter
[17:08] <tona> ok i undertand i have another question
[17:08] <Mlar> OerHeks: Only 4.2 is showing up for me.. also running 14.04
[17:09] <tona> normmalyy how to restart services in ubuntu on redhat it services name start or stop how ubuntu works ?
[17:09] <Beldar> Mlar, Have you run an update lately 4.3 is in my 14.04
[17:09] <daftykins> tona: that's not supported for networking anymore, but it's "sudo service <name> stop/start/restart"
[17:10] <Mlar> Beldar: Yeh, ran updates from the terminal. Have tried removing and readding the sources. Even tried changing the update server.
[17:10] <OerHeks> Mlar, try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[17:11] <Mlar> OerHeks: Nothing to update.
[17:11] <alfonsojon> Hi, I'm using Elementary OS Freya (based on Ubuntu 14.04)
[17:11] <OerHeks> odd
[17:11] <OerHeks> alfonsojon, not supported here
[17:11] <alfonsojon> it's upstream
[17:12] <Mlar> OerHeks: Yeh... I realise I can downoad the deb from skype's site, but more concerned that my sources don't seem to be up-to-date!
[17:12] <alfonsojon> I'm using nvidia-331 and I would like to know if there's a way to get my virtual terminals to use a higher resolution than 80x24
[17:12] <alfonsojon> When using nouveau, it uses the resolution of my smallest monitor, which is much preferred over 80x24
[17:12] <Beldar> alfonsojon, Not supported.
[17:12] <OerHeks> !elementary | alfonsojon
[17:13] <OerHeks> they have their own issues
[17:13] <alfonsojon> gah
[17:13] <bazhang> !info skype partner | Mlar
[17:13] <alfonsojon> Okay, how about this
[17:13] <alfonsojon> This also affects Ubuntu 14.04, and I was using Ubuntu 14.04 until around a week ago.
[17:13] <daftykins> alfonsojon: no, you go there else you get no help. simples.
[17:14] <alfonsojon> Should I head to #nvidia?
[17:14] <alfonsojon> This affects all distros, not just Ubuntu or Elementary
[17:14] <daftykins> you may seek whichever path you want, it's your issue
[17:14] <alfonsojon> Alright
[17:17] <Mlar> bazhang: Yeah... but only version 4.2 is showing up for me, I know 4.3 should be there!
[17:17] <alfonsojon> Mlar: sudo apt-get upate
[17:17] <aeyesi> Meep! Anyone need littttttle tiny help in Lubuntu 14.04  :0 Basicaly i need to lower DPI (got intel atom GMA3150 GMA so no nvidia)
[17:17] <aeyesi> anyone any tip ?
[17:18] <Mlar> alfonsojon: As mentioned already done all of that...
[17:18] <alfonsojon> aeyesi: I'm not 100% sure, but I do not believe Lubuntu is very friendly with custom DPIs
[17:18] <alfonsojon> Mlar: ah, sorry
[17:18] <Mlar> alfonsojon: No worries
[17:18] <Beldar> Mlar, You have the partners and independent repos open?
[17:18] <Mlar> Beldar: Yeh
[17:19] <alfonsojon> Mlar: cat /etc/apt/sources.list > ~/sources.list
[17:19] <Beldar> Mlar, I would check again, at times users do not understand that, helps us if we are sure you do.
[17:19] <aeyesi> alfonsojon ah know i already googled and tried like hundred of tips
[17:19] <aeyesi> but none works
[17:19] <alfonsojon> Then upload the contents of that to a pastebin
[17:20] <alfonsojon> aeyesi: Hmm
[17:20] <alfonsojon> aeyesi: I'll search around for a solution
[17:20] <alfonsojon> you probably tried them though
[17:20] <aeyesi> yep most of them o,o
[17:22] <Blaster> Having the most annoying issue and don't know where to start.  I have a Logitech wireless mouse, and a lot of time when I single click, it gets registered as a double click, which is extremely agitating.  I don't know where to start trying to debug that.  Mouse batteries are fresh.
[17:22] <bootlicker> Hey guys I have a RAID 0 group and recently it stopped auto-mounting and I tried to invesitgate it, but all I get is that I have a "bad superblock" is there anything I can do to fix this?
[17:23] <daftykins> Blaster: lots of old rodents do that eventually when they're on the way out
[17:23] <Blaster> It's only a 2 years old or so.
[17:25] <mahshid> mahshid
[17:27] <TaZeR> im going to miami c yy tere dydes
[17:27] <Mlar> alfonsojon: Ok, I've had a look at what URI for my canonical source, it is deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu (from software sources setting). According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype it should be without the /ubuntu
[17:27] <Mlar> without the /ubuntu the new version shows up
[17:28] <alfonsojon> Mlar: Is there a guide you read for this?
[17:28] <alfonsojon> If so, I could use that link
[17:28] <alfonsojon> Actually, the ubuntu help page is enough
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> who asked about screen resolution in lubuntu?
[17:30] <Mlar> 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] <MonkeyDust> aeyesi  i guess you need lxrandr
[17:31] <Mlar> alfonsojon: It now installs, but only after follwing the first link (the help.ubuntu page) and adding the source without the /ubuntu
[17:31] <nightdemon666> 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. The symptom of my problem is that it just doesnt connect to freenode. dont know why. i tested with another computer on live usb, aqnd it connected just fine. anything i need to reset? should i consider removeing and reinstalling empathy?
[17:31] <aeyesi> monkeydust
[17:31] <aeyesi> i think i have
[17:31] <circ-user-eH0KQ> hi
[17:32] <aeyesi> but lxrandr does not changes DPI
[17:33] <KingSphinx> I've got an odd issue with my Toshiba laptop: if I restart from Windows to an Ubuntu live USB, then enter acpi_osi=Linux at the boot menu, I can use my Fn+F* keys. 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] <Mlar> alfonsojon: Ah ok, so when I updated to 14.04 the partner repositories had not updated... they were looking at quantal, not trusty.
[17:34] <Mlar> alfonsojon: the others (indendent) had... odd
[17:34] <odisa> Hello
[17:34] <reisio> KingSphinx: check your BIOS options
[17:34] <reisio> odisa: hi
[17:35] <odisa> I'm having issues installing nVidia drivers.. Doing it via "additional drivers" just crashes my system, and attempting to install nVidia's .run files returns multiple errors. Please advise.
[17:36] <aeyesi> odisa its painfull ik
[17:36] <odisa> I know there are many guides out there for this issue, but none of them seem to work for me.
[17:36] <aeyesi> odisa just little tip
[17:36] <JohnTalent> rsync was kicking ass at 40/34 % utilization. now it's been 1.7/1.1 utilization for 45 minutes.
[17:36] <odisa> aeyesi: yes.. I tried it many times before, and always gave up. I'd like to see it through this time.
, you may have to resort to compiling from source...you are running those .run files as root right???
[17:36] <JohnTalent> is that a ra thing?
[17:36] <aeyesi> try remove all of them
[17:36] <odisa> I am nightdemon666
[17:36] <JohnTalent> ram
[17:37] <aeyesi> google how remove them and install them from PPA
 also you made sure that the file is executable?
[17:37] <aeyesi> otherwise its painfull
[17:37] <odisa> aeyesi: you mean "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*"?
[17:37] <aeyesi> yea try that
[17:37] <aeyesi> it will install NOVEAU opensource drivers
[17:37] <odisa> did that.. didn't help
[17:37] <odisa> I have the nouveau drivers currently
[17:37] <aeyesi> then google for PPA
[17:37] <r2j> people...need help
[17:37] <nightdemon666> what are the errors? <odisa>
[17:37] <r2j> I have a 128 gig ssd
[17:37] <intrader> Anyone please - problem with Google Chrome on ubuntu 12.04.1. 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.
 you may have to resolve dependancy issues
[17:38] <r2j> in my laptop, and i need to install ubuntu on an sd card thats plugged into the laptop
[17:38] <r2j> how do i do that
[17:38] <Matthew_Moore> Hey guys. after installing updates i can no longer sign in to the Software center.  Anybody else having this problem?
[17:38] <odisa> 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] <odisa> I'll check what the PPA errors are.. can't remember.
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> Matthew_Moore  what happesn when you try?
 have you considered running that script with out X running?
[17:39] <nightdemon666> you may have to run that script from command line tty
[17:39] <odisa> nightdemon666: would that require "sudo killall x-org" or something?
[17:39] <r2j> ??
[17:39] <Matthew_Moore> 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] <nightdemon666> you can type top, then find the process id for Xork. kill that process as root
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> Matthew_Moore  it's because ubuntu one is dead
[17:40] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: that's not software center
[17:40] <reisio> MonkeyDust: is it?
[17:40] <reisio> wow that was brief
[17:40] <Beldar> r2j, It is a manual install. No question marks please and have some patience.
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> !ubuntuone
 sudo kill process_id but when you do that you will have to kill lightdm too
[17:40] <Matthew_Moore> yes it is.  when i click see recomended software this is what comes up.
[17:41] <odisa> 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] <Matthew_Moore> i could log into it until yesterday.
 thats a good idea
[17:41] <odisa> yes I disabled lightdm every time
[17:41] <reisio> QA ftw
[17:41] <odisa> ok, brb then
[17:41] <Matthew_Moore> i know ubuntu one is dead but this is the log in that comes up in the software center
[17:41] <Matthew_Moore> it worked until yesterday
[17:42] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: http://askubuntu.com/questions/309122/removing-ubuntu-one
[17:42] <aeyesi> whoever gave me tip previously
[17:42] <aeyesi> it didnt worked :3 (,xdefaults)
[17:42] <Jonii> 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] <Jonii> Ubuntu 14.04
[17:42] <r2j> okay guys, please help
[17:43] <reisio> Jonii: check all the window decorations (buttons on top corner)
[17:43] <JohnTalent> how do you prepare ram for rsync?
 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] <reisio> JohnTalent: you don't
[17:43] <Matthew_Moore> 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] <r2j> 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] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: what?
[17:43] <reisio> r2j: a drive is a drive to GNU/Linux, there are no special instructions
[17:43] <JohnTalent> reisio: rsync was at 40% utilization for 2 minutes. now at 1.7% for 45 mins.
[17:43] <r2j> okay
[17:43] <reisio> if it sees it as storage, that's all there is to it
[17:43] <JohnTalent> reisio: it's because of ram
[17:43] <r2j> where does the bootloader go
[17:43] <r2j> on the ssd or the sd card
[17:44] <reisio> JohnTalent: says who? And why does it matter
[17:44] <reisio> r2j: whichever you please
[17:44] <Jonii> reisio: what? I don't understand
[17:44] <Matthew_Moore> reisio:  this  login prompt is what i am getting in the software center under see recomeded software.
[17:44] <reisio> r2j: if you put it on the ssd, GRUB will control Windows' booting
[17:44] <intrader> 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] <JohnTalent> reisio: says top. because it's slow as fuck.
[17:44] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: read the link I gave
[17:44] <reisio> JohnTalent: slower than what
[17:44] <r2j> Yep i want GRUB controlling the booting
[17:44] <IdleOne> Please keep the language clean
[17:44] <r2j> so i put it on the sd card right?
[17:45] <reisio> r2j: no
[17:45] <r2j> do i have to manually point to the windows
[17:45] <reisio> r2j: on the ssd, if it's the first device
[17:45] <JohnTalent> reisio: okay, you're on ignore.
[17:45] <reisio> r2j: no, it will probably install there by default
[17:45] <reisio> JohnTalent: sure I am
[17:45] <odisa> So.. Xorg isn't even running when I'm in ctrl+alt+f1 mode
[17:45] <TandyUK> JohnTalent: and what does iotop show, most likely rsync in caning your disks to 100% io
 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] <Matthew_Moore> reisio:  i see that. But will i be able to veiw recomended apps if i purge this from the system??
[17:45] <odisa> it shouldn't be interfering
[17:45] <r2j> aaaaah.....okay....so i put it on the ssd which has the windows
[17:45] <r2j> and grub will take care of the rest right?
[17:45] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: ubuntu one has almost nothing to do with anything, it is not the software center
[17:46] <TandyUK> gratz reisio, have a cookie :P
[17:46] <odisa> nightdemon666: thanks, I think nouveau is indeed impeding the process
[17:46] <reisio> TandyUK: oatmeal raisin?
[17:46] <TandyUK> Im trying to help him now, so im sure i'll end up on ignore too soon
[17:46] <Matthew_Moore> reisio: then why do i get prompted for it when trying to see recomeded software?  i don't understand
[17:46] <reisio> r2j: right
[17:46] <r2j> thanks reisio
 is nouveau still running?
[17:46] <reisio> 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] <r2j> chhers
[17:46] <r2j> righto
[17:46] <r2j> perfect
[17:46] <reisio> TandyUK: IME people who say you're on ignore are lying about 120% of the time
[17:46] <reisio> which I don't get, but whatever
[17:47] <TandyUK> indeed lol
[17:47] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: because they wanted to get paid, and ubuntu one got them paid, briefly
[17:47] <odisa> I still get the "The distribution provided pre-install script failed!" error.. I'm going to "continue installation" though
[17:47] <reisio> Matthew_Moore: if you don't want it, read the link
[17:47] <odisa> no nouveau error! :)
[17:47] <aguitel> synaptic touchpad no working in laptop asus X550LA model ,any tips?
[17:47] <Matthew_Moore> ok
[17:48] <odisa> 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] <reisio> aguitel: does it show up in xinput --list?
[17:48] <reisio> 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
 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] <odisa> good point, pressing y
[17:50] <reisio> nightdemon666: his soul
[17:50] <odisa> install 32 bit compatability libs.. don't think so, it's 64 bit.. then again, they're only libs
 yes
[17:50] <benji_> 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] <reisio> benji_: use wires
 im sure it wont use them anyway just the 64bit ones
 if everything goes well, cross your finger when you boot lol
[17:51] <benji_> :) thanks reiso
[17:51] <odisa> 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] <odisa> Installation complete!
[17:52] <odisa> now start lightdms again right?
[17:52] <odisa> lightdm*
 :-) im at work, im about to go to lunch. good luck. hope i helpped
[17:52] <odisa> enjoy nightdemon666 , thanks for the help :)
 i would simply reboot in order to make it go through all the processes
 sudo reboot
[17:53] <odisa> alright, will do
 i'll return in about 40 mintes and if im not too busy, I'll ask how it went
[17:53] <nightdemon666> brb
[17:53] <odisa> thanks :)
[17:54] <odisa> hmm.. Unity seems broken\
[17:55] <MaxSan> Hey can anyone provide me some support on 14.04 I have no idea what is going on
[17:55] <odisa> MaxSan: what's your issue?
[17:55] <MaxSan> I try and switch on the laptop and after I log in nothing boots
[17:55] <reisio> MaxSan: what happens?
[17:55] <aguitel> reisio: maybe this:PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse
[17:55] <MaxSan> just sort of stalls with a blank screen, no ui
[17:56] <odisa> switching users MaxSan ?
[17:56] <reisio> MaxSan: after what point?
[17:56] <MaxSan> i can log in as guest and its fine
[17:56] <MaxSan> but my usua; account i need on
[17:56] <reisio> try moving your user's ~/.cache elsewhere
[17:57] <MaxSan> i cant
[17:57] <benji_> try opening a new tty ctrl alt blah
[17:57] <aguitel> reisio: pastebin all command?
[17:57] <MaxSan> encrypted home directory
[17:57] <reisio> aguitel: pastebinit
[17:57] <benji_> then simply type something, you will probably need to reconfigure x or something
[17:58] <MaxSan> i try and decrypt it, it looks like it works but there is no file names
[17:58] <reisio> MaxSan: su to your user from guest session
[17:58] <reisio> MaxSan: then mv it
[17:58] <reisio> MaxSan: or use sudo to
[17:58] <MaxSan> il try
[17:58] <MaxSan> 2 mins il see what happens
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> MaxSan  try this: ctrl-alt F1, then : sudo chown -R yourname:yourname /home/yourname
[17:58] <aguitel> reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8038118/
[17:59] <odisa> now start lightdms again right?
[17:59] <reisio> MonkeyDust: what? :/
[17:59] <reisio> MaxSan: I really would not run that
[17:59] <odisa> .woops
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> reisio  i had that too, that trick worked for me
[17:59] <odisa> sat on my keyboard
[17:59] <reisio> aguitel: you have a logitech mouse in addition to your touchpad?
[18:00] <reisio> MonkeyDust: that's a last resort, and only following a backup
[18:00] <aguitel> reisio: external mouse
[18:00] <MaxSan> it does look a bit drastic
[18:00] <reisio> changing perms recursively can be really problematic
[18:00] <reisio> aguitel: what model computer?
[18:01] <aguitel> reisio: asus X550LA
[18:02] <reisio> aguitel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110011 maybe
[18:02] <FIFOd[a]> Any idea why my mouse scroll will would be sending right clicks when scrolling?
[18:02] <reisio> FIFOd[a]: your mouse has a lot of extra buttons
[18:02] <reisio> or your right button is broken
[18:03] <reisio> or your context menu keyboard button is
[18:03] <MaxSan> operation not permited to switch to another use
[18:03] <reisio> MaxSan: try from CTRL+ALT+F2, then
[18:03] <reisio> you can get back with +F7
[18:04] <FIFOd[a]> reisio: I think this fixed it gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
[18:04] <MaxSan> ahhh
[18:04] <MaxSan> i knew was something it could switch
[18:04] <MaxSan> i forgot i need the fn key to get this too lol
[18:04] <MaxSan> so you recommend i clear the .cache?
[18:05] <MaxSan> i have an inclination there is no HDD to boot
[18:05] <reisio> FIFOd[a]: gj
[18:05] <MaxSan> as after a while it asked to install an update, wouldnt run said couldnt get 6mb
[18:05] <reisio> MaxSan: as a first test, yup
[18:05] <aguitel> reisio: maybe kernel issue?
[18:05] <reisio> MaxSan: no... if you can login as guest, it's just some configuration issue with your home dir
[18:05] <aeyesi> DPI thing resolved :3
[18:05] <reisio> aguitel: hrmm?
[18:06] <aguitel> reisio: no driver at this time
[18:06] <intrader> Anyone On 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.
[18:07] <reisio> aguitel: watch that bug
[18:07] <odisa> intrader: can't you just make a new .desktop for Chrome?
[18:07] <MaxSan> cache removed
[18:07] <MaxSan> reboot n see what happens
[18:07] <OerHeks> intrader, start it again, click on the icon and lock it ?
[18:08] <odisa> ^ or that
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> aeyesi  how did you do it, i'm curious
[18:10] <aeyesi> MonkeyDust most of manuals dont work or pointing to depreceated config called .Xdefaults ... instead... used .Xresources (it ddoes not exist it need to be created) and paste stuff there...
[18:11] <intrader> odisa, no familiar with .desktop on ubuntu
[18:11] <aeyesi> i had netbook with 1024x600 so i lowered DPi to 75 and it is still nice + much more informations :3
[18:12] <intrader> OerHeks, does not do anything when locked and I click
[18:12] <OerHeks> intrader, remove chrome and install again, be sure to use -purge
[18:13] <intrader> OerHeks, what is the command to remove with purge
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> sudo apt-get purge
[18:14] <lvecsey> hello. i just upgraded to 14.04 LTS (desktop) and my home directory has the same userid permissions, however when I log into the graphical enivornment I get kicked out right away. guest account seems to log in for the graphical session just fine. any ideas?
[18:15] <OerHeks> intrader, i think you need ppa-purge, as chrome installs a ppa
[18:15] <OerHeks> !ppapurge
[18:15] <odisa> 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] <odisa> no quotes, and press Ctrl O to save
[18:16] <odisa> then "sudo chmod +x Chrome.desktop" while in the same folder
[18:17] <odisa> then it should show up in your unity search bar
[18:17] <odisa> open it, lock it to launcher, done
[18:18] <intrader> odisa, on earlier ubuntus there was an icon with four squares from which you could choose workspaces (desktop?)
[18:19] <MaxSan> doesnt work
[18:19] <MaxSan> same thing
[18:19] <MaxSan> blank ui, only wallpaper showing
[18:21] <odisa> intrader: yes.. I don't see how that;s relevant though
[18:21] <AMD-Z> Hi
[18:21] <MaxSan> running dist-upgrade so i know everything is as expected
[18:21] <AMD-Z> Anyone having trouble?
[18:21] <intrader> OerHeks, is the command to remove/purge `sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable -purge`?
[18:21] <MaxSan> generally lol
[18:22] <AMD-Z> you can also try 'sudo apt-get purge programname'
[18:22] <AMD-Z> if im right
[18:22] <aeyesi> AMD-Z if u find out why is one notebook i have freezin (lubuntu 14.04.1 64bit) i would be greatfull/thankfull(?) (:
[18:22] <AMD-Z> When does it freeze?
[18:23] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get --purge autoremove packagename , but you should use ppa-purge
[18:23] <intrader> odisa, I don't know what the desktop has to do with chrome - lost...
[18:23] <odisa> a .desktop is a launcher file
[18:24] <AMD-Z> odisa like a shortcut right?
[18:24] <odisa> correct AMD-Z
[18:24] <odisa> though not entirely, but yes
[18:24] <AMD-Z> a shortcut with extended properties
[18:25] <Guest650> hi
[18:25] <Fogest> I have a 4th screen I am trying to setup on a PC. 3 screens was working fine before, but now with the 4th they all display the desktops and wallpapers and such however I can only get my mouse to go to the first two screens. I am unable to get to the other 2 for some reason. I am using Nvida xserver. What might be wrong here?
[18:25] <MaxSan> still nothing after login
[18:25] <MaxSan> its there any way i can get verbose output of what ishappening on login
[18:25] <p34k> hello people i tried to install the virtual machine additions from the mounted virtual drive
[18:26] <MaxSan> then i can work out maybe wtf is halting it
[18:26] <AMD-Z> MaxSan use dmesg in terminal
[18:26] <odisa> Fogest: I had the same issue earlier.. try to move the mouse with some more distance
[18:26] <AMD-Z> u can also look at your log files
[18:26] <aeyesi> AMD-Z It freezes randomly (:
[18:26] <aeyesi> tottaly randomly
[18:27] <aeyesi> it uses properitary nvidia drivers (some beta ones)
[18:27] <Fogest> odisa: not working
[18:27] <AMD-Z> aeyesi: does your laptop have hybrid graphics?
[18:28] <odisa> Fogest: The launcher isn't working or what?
[18:28] <aeyesi> yes Intel + Nvidia optimus
[18:28] <p34k> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp55330864 can someone help me with this
[18:28] <aeyesi> AMD-Z It has Intel with nvidia = creepy optimus
[18:28] <AMD-Z> aeyesi: did you setup with bumblebee?
[18:28] <aeyesi> nope
[18:29] <aeyesi> just some native nvidia app
[18:29] <Fogest> odisa: No it is all there and looks like it is working I just can't move my mouse over to the other screens.
[18:29] <odisa> sorry Fogest , got you mixed up with someone else
[18:30] <intrader> OerHeks,  result of `sudo apt-get --ppa-purge autoremove google-chrome-stable` is 'E: Sens'e ppa is not understood, try true or false.
[18:30] <AMD-Z> aeyesi: the best you could try is uninstall the nvidia driver, and check if the freezes still occur without the nvidia enabled, when its working without, you could try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[18:30] <odisa> Hmm.. do you have a function key on your keyboard Fogest ?
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> p34k  what is that wall of text about, please state your problem shorter
[18:30] <aeyesi> AMD-Z mkay
[18:31] <aeyesi> but is bumblebee better then propiretary nvidia optimus solution?
[18:31] <AMD-Z> aeyesi: you could also check your Xorg.0.log, and your dmesg; do you know how to view those?
[18:31] <p34k> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp55330864
[18:31] <p34k> can someone help me with this
[18:31] <aeyesi> AMD-Z thanks for help then
[18:31] <AMD-Z> I don't use the propiretary nvidia optimus because i know bumblebee is always working for me at multiple laptops
[18:32] <p34k> i cant open my cd drive
[18:32] <intrader> OerHeks, is the command to remove/purge `sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable -purge`?
[18:32] <odisa> p34k: you're gonna have to be far more specific than that
[18:32] <bodhi_zazen> p34k: use KVM / virt-manager
[18:32] <p34k> this doesnt work sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[18:32] <odisa> oh
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> p34k  state the problem in your own words, so we don't have to read all that
[18:32] <Fogest> odisa: no
[18:32] <quint> both can access the internet just fine
[18:32] <quint> so i have two hosts connected to the same access point, both of which are fully connected and are on the same network, i can't access any open ports on either of the devices, disabled ufw, both are clean installs.. what am i missing here?
[18:33] <p34k> hange to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:
[18:33] <p34k> sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[18:33] <p34k> here i dont know how to get to the directory
[18:33] <odisa> which version of Ubuntu are you running Fogest ?
[18:34] <intrader> OerHeks, I need to be away for a bit - thanks for help - still need to remove/purge chrome
[18:34] <OerHeks> intrader, i told you 2x, please read back. USE PPA-PURGE !
[18:35] <odisa> so I now succesfully installed nVidia drivers, but now Unity seems broken.. Nothing shows on the desktop, the launcher doesn't appear.. only my background image shows, and trying to log in with Gnome doesn't work either
[18:36] <odisa> what could the issue be?
[18:37] <alami> hello, how can i find out wich ntp server i'm using?
[18:37] <AMD-Z> odisa: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215016/unity-doesnt-appear-after-installing-nvidia-drivers try this?
[18:37] <alami> hello, how can i find out wich ntp server i'm using?
[18:37] <AMD-Z> alami: what do you mean?
[18:38] <AMD-Z> alami: automatic time sync?
[18:38] <alami> AMD-Z, i want to the ip address of the ntp server
[18:38] <odisa> AMD-Z: thanks.. can't believe I didn't find that myself, haha. I'll try, though I had already installed linux-headers-generic
[18:39] <alami> AMD-Z: my Computer use an ntp server, and i want to find out what's his IP address
[18:39] <AMD-Z> odisa: u can try to use another driver, using the update sources and selecting another driver there, i've had bad luck with the official driver too
[18:40] <AMD-Z> akanu: let me search your problem, hold on
[18:41] <AMD-Z> alami: i think it's ntp.ubuntu.com, try to look for the information you need at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime
[18:42] <frib> i can't hibernate in ubuntu 14 -- is there a way to enable it?
[18:42] <AMD-Z> alami: when i ping ntp.ubuntu.com it tells me the ip address: 91.189.89.199
[18:43] <AMD-Z> frib: i think this is because you didn't set a pagefile
[18:43] <AMD-Z> frib: im looking for a solution hold on
[18:44] <odisa> AMD-Z: I tried what was on that page.. nothing changed
[18:44] <odisa> What other driver? The whole point was to have the nVidia driver, haha
[18:44] <tumbajamba> hello guys
[18:44] <AMD-Z> frib: follow the content of this page to setup hibernation: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-14-04/
[18:45] <tumbajamba> anybody on?
[18:45] <frib> thanks AMD-Z
[18:45] <lvecsey> yes, trying to work with lightdm here so that I can get a regular login. only guest logins working atm
[18:45] <AMD-Z> odisa: it's hard to help you because im using another OS right now, but ill try to find a page that expains it for you
[18:45] <tumbajamba> guys
[18:45] <odisa> AMD-Z: Thanks, I'll try to do the same
[18:46] <tumbajamba> i just completed my conky plugin
[18:46] <tumbajamba> wonna give it a try
[18:46] <tumbajamba> im looking for some testers
[18:46] <AMD-Z> odisa: try the second post of this page, i hope you will have more luck with that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47506/how-do-i-install-additional-drivers
[18:47] <AMD-Z> tumbajamba: do you have screenshots? :D
[18:47] <frib> sudo pm-hibernate doesn't turn my computer off :\
[18:47] <tumbajamba> hmm
[18:47] <tumbajamba> no
[18:47] <tumbajamba> let me do one
[18:47] <bollullera> join #c++
[18:48] <odisa> AMD-Z: is that the official nVidia one? My desktop was working fine before I started any of this, but a game I'm playing had some errors after installing a graphical plug-in, and apparently it requires nVidia drivers for that\
[18:48] <odisa> to work
[18:49] <intrader> OerHeks, sorry I missed both previous - still unsure how to issue ppa-purge
[18:49] <AMD-Z> frib: i think i cannot help you, i've not used hibernation for a long time, maybe someone else can help you; you can also try the forum :)
[18:50] <AMD-Z> odisa: it should work as far as i know :)
[18:52] <odisa> AMD-Z: hmm I'll try I suppose. though I'll have to revert to nouveau to use the GUI to install that I believe
[18:52] <intrader> OerHeks, I ran `sudo apt-get --purge autoremove google-chrome-stable` - what else is needed?
[18:52] <soman> How to output sound to earphones xubuntu 14.04.1? Realtec ALC850
[18:53] <tumbajamba> ok guys it took some time
[18:53] <tumbajamba> but here is screenshot from conky plugin i creted
[18:53] <tumbajamba> http://static-1.nexusmods.com/15/images/110/1196961-1407955962.png
[18:53] <bubbasaures> soman, Have you checked the sound app?
[18:53] <tumbajamba> good think about it
[18:54] <tumbajamba> it is very dynamic and automatically rekognizes how many cpus and stuff your system have
[18:54] <tumbajamba> via bash script
 how did that end up working out for you?
[18:54] <soman> bubbasaures: what the app you mean? Media players outputs to speakers
[18:54] <reisio> soman: is that intel hd audio?
[18:55] <cturiel> hi
[18:55] <soman> reisio: Nvidia CK804,  Realtek ALC850
[18:55] <tumbajamba> hi
[18:55] <michaelaguiar> 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?
[18:56] <reisio> soman: look at the output of lspci -k, see if it's intel hd audio
[18:56] <reisio> tumppu: hi
[18:56] <reisio> soman: if it is, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto#Choosing_Your_Model
[18:56] <reisio> cturiel: ohio
[18:57] <soman> reisio: http://pastebin.com/WJ4dVeAW
[18:58] <reisio> ac97, fancy
[18:58] <soman> I have to notice that mic works but eraphones no. green and red cables are connected to motherboard. Mic is integrated with eraphones.
[18:58] <AMD-Z> tumbajamba: looks very nice :) cool that you made that ;)
[18:58] <soman> instead sound goes to speakers
[18:58] <marcrs> If I found the correct kernel parameters to make a Laptop work: where can I share the info?
[18:58] <reisio> soman: check 'alsamixer' for unmuting/volume options
[18:59] <bubbasaures> marcrs, Make a laptop work? probably not new info if you found it.
[19:00] <soman> reisio: already done. I picked up all available volumes but no effect
[19:00] <marcrs> bubbasaures, I found it by trying myriads of combinations of kernel parameters. Its brand new hardware.
[19:01] <marcrs> for now I posted it on lauchpad and in the HP forums
[19:01] <bubbasaures> marcrs, sounds good
[19:02] <marcrs> but i thought there might be databases
[19:02] <TJ-> marcrs: what is the LP bug # ?
[19:03] <marcrs> 1356526
[19:03] <TJ-> bug 1356526
[19:04] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, quick question. How can I share my WiFi connection via ethernet? I'm using gnome so I don't see the same options, I believe I will have to do it through the terminal.
[19:05] <TJ-> marcrs: Thanks; I've assigned that bug to myself, I'll see about getting a quirk added
[19:06] <marcrs> Thanks TJ-
[19:08] <AMD-Z> -> afk
[19:12] <ACodingJedi> anyone know go software? I need gonow or gorun to make scripts for the go language
[19:13] <ACodingJedi> Any clue on going about obtaining it?
[19:13] <MouseTheLuckyDog> Is there a way to change umask to modify a single permission without playing with bitmasks? SImilar to eg chmod u+x?
[19:14] <bubbasaures> ACodingJedi, Might be a start. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Go
[19:15] <sinix> hey, nooby question - I was in a directory and wanted to move a file, to that directory, so i wrote "mv /dir1/file.txt ." ..except instead of dot at the end, i wrote comma
[19:15] <sinix> the file's now gone, but where did it go??
[19:15] <sinix> it's not where it started, and its not where i wanted it to go
[19:16] <peapea> 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] <AMD-Z> sinix: does it show up when you type: 'ls /' ?
[19:17] <sinix> no
[19:17] <odisa> I'd presume copying your home folder to another medium and simply installing 14.04 on your 12,04 machine would work
[19:18] <AMD-Z> sinix: i think i remember
[19:18] <odisa> and then just pasting it back before you run your 14.04 for the first time
[19:18] <AMD-Z> sinix: when you go to the directory where you started, do you see a file/folder named ','?
[19:18] <sinix> AHA
[19:18] <sinix> yes!
[19:18] <odisa> lol..
[19:19] <bubbasaures> peapea, sudo do-release-upgrade -p
[19:19] <sinix> does mv always create missing directories like that?  ive never noticed and/or tried
[19:19] <AMD-Z> sinix: haha :D u can rename it by the mv command 'mv file.test new.test'
[19:19] <Ntemis> hello
[19:19] <peapea> bubbasaures, sorry for asking, without mention of 14.04. this will upgrade to it?
[19:20] <AMD-Z> sinix: mv = modifying a file / move file; prob you just renamed it to ','
[19:20] <aeyesi_> have someone ever experienced fan control on acer aspire one netbooks ? (just curious)
[19:20] <Ntemis> today i was notified by ubuntu server 12.04.5 that i can upgrade to 14.04.1
[19:20] <sinix> ahhh, right, so , is the new name, not a directory where the file is
[19:20] <Ntemis> can someone tell me how much space will be needed for that?
[19:20] <sinix> super thanks :))
[19:21] <bubbasaures> peapea, I believe that is the command to get that started.
[19:21] <Ntemis> my current nand status is this
[19:21] <Ntemis> Usage of /:   60.8% of 3.24GB
[19:21] <odisa> aeyesi_: ehm.. I know it's possible if your hardware supports it
[19:21] <peapea> bubbasaures, are you sure?
[19:21] <Ntemis> will i be "ok" to start the upgrade?
[19:21] <AMD-Z> sinix: in this example: yes :P and np ;)
[19:22] <odisa> 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] <Ntemis> anyone?
[19:22] <aeyesi_> odisa i already tried even to patch bios
[19:22] <aeyesi_> :D
[19:23] <AMD-Z> Ntemis: what?
[19:23] <bubbasaures> 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] <aeyesi_> i succeded but whatever
[19:23] <odisa> ehm.. I think you need lm-sensors or something IIRC aeyesi_
[19:23] <aeyesi_> :D
[19:23] <Ntemis> today i was notified by ubuntu server 12.04.5 that i can upgrade to 14.04.1
[19:23] <Ntemis> my current nand status is this
[19:23] <Ntemis> Usage of /:   60.8% of 3.24GB
[19:23] <aeyesi_> yup
[19:23] <Ntemis> will i be "ok" to start the upgrade?
[19:23] <odisa> 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] <aeyesi_> not really i found custom modified bios
[19:24] <AMD-Z> Ntemis: looks risky since you have low diskspace but ill check what the recommented diskspace is
[19:24] <aeyesi_> its not official one
[19:24] <aeyesi_> but it enables some hidden settings
[19:24] <aeyesi_> such us thermal control states
[19:24] <Ntemis> AMD-Z: thanks
[19:24] <aeyesi_> but i didnt found it usefull or better didnt touched it
[19:25] <odisa> hmm alright then
[19:27] <AMD-Z> 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] <AMD-Z> 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] <peapea> 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] <peapea> also not in the first ten :)
[19:29] <Ntemis> thanks AMD-Z
[19:29] <bubbasaures> peapea, Dude running it will not brick your computer, If it was incorrect orf dangerous the channel would comment.
[19:29] <odisa> AMD-Z: I tried the nvidia-current-updates but the problem persists..
[19:30] <odisa> is Xorg what communicates between Xorg and the driver?
[19:30] <odisa> between Unity and the driver*
[19:30] <AMD-Z> odisa: hm, yes wait
[19:30] <TJ-> 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] <daftykins> peapea: it's fine, but naturally ahead of doing an upgrade you have made backups? :)
[19:30] <AMD-Z> odisa: you should delete the old xorg config
[19:31] <AMD-Z> odisa: when this file wasn't deleted by uninstall of the previous driver then the problem would still persist
[19:31] <odisa> in the X11 folder? tried that, but I couldn't find xorg.conf
[19:31] <odisa> I'll try again
[19:31] <AMD-Z> odisa: there is another folder in it; just search trough it for the config file
[19:32] <peapea> bubbasaures, ok, thank you! :) daftykins, yes, I did, thank you! TJ- I'll run the commands, thank you!
[19:32] <odisa> AMD-Z: thanks, booting up now and I'll check
[19:38] <odisa> AMD-Z: removing the xorg.conf.[numbers] file didn't work, but there's also a xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original file in there
[19:38] <odisa> shouldn't remove that right?
[19:39] <AMD-Z> odisa: you could try to restore it as xorg.conf, but I don't think that should work too.. I've had this problem too but I can't remember what I did to fix this atm..
[19:39] <peapea> I got this error when I ran 'do-release-upgrade -p' : paste.ubuntu.com/8038824
[19:39] <AMD-Z> odisa: brb, i have to do something
[19:40] <odisa> AMD-Z: No I doubt that too.. Ok.
[19:40] <odisa> ls x*
[19:40] <odisa> woops wrong keyboard
[19:41] <Ilyes000> OH MY GOOOD !
[19:41] <aeyesi_> :o
[19:43] <peapea> TJ- I got this error when I ran 'do-release-upgrade -p' : paste.ubuntu.com/8038824
[19:44] <bubbasaures> peapea, You sure you are in 12.04?
[19:45] <bubbasaures> peapea, what does lsb_release -a show
[19:46] <peapea> bubbasaures, it is correct, it shows ubuntu, 12.04.4, 12.04. and precise
[19:47] <bubbasaures> peapea, No proxies you can  run a regular update no errors?
[19:47] <SecretFire> 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] <peapea> bubbasaures, no, I just ran update manager, and update-upgrade on command line
[19:48] <peapea> all ok
[19:48] <bubbasaures> peapea, I would change the repo in software sources just to check.
[19:49] <daftykins> peapea: dist-upgrade? :)
[19:49] <peapea> daftykins, I haven't run this one now
[19:49] <kristenbb> 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] <daftykins> peapea: if your precise install were fully updated it would read 12.04.5 right now
[19:49] <bubbasaures> peapea, Another user asked you to I beleive, tought you had.
[19:49] <daftykins> peapea: see what you get with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[19:50] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: did you restart your computer?
[19:50] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : not yet
[19:50] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: try that :)
[19:50] <SecretFire> if that doesnt work i might just format it with gparted
[19:51] <peapea> 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] <bubbasaures> kristenbb, Post the error, have you tried a safe x boot from recovery?
[19:51] <peapea> daftykins, it is the same, '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded'
[19:52] <bubbasaures> peapea,  never upgrade so I will leave you with those that know more.
[19:52] <bubbasaures> I*
[19:52] <kristenbb> 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] <bubbasaures> !nomodeset | kristenbb this or the recovery gui safe x
[19:53] <peapea> bubbasaures, thank you very much for your help! I also havent done it for years
[19:53] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : no luck
[19:53] <kristenbb> is 14.04 supposed to support the same computers that 12.04 did ? This one is fairly old (about 10 years)
[19:54] <intrader> 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] <daftykins> kristenbb: hello again. how old are we talking?
[19:54] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: the easiest way is just a format, is there important information on it?
[19:54] <SecretFire> yea but i can replace it over time
[19:54] <bubbasaures> intrader, There is a limit to scroll back, the preferences has a change
[19:55] <daftykins> kristenbb: as in, can you share the specification?
[19:55] <AMD-Z> 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] <kristenbb> 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] <AMD-Z> SecretFire:  sdb can be anything, it must be your external harddrive
[19:55] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : its weird i get the I/O error and then it automatically mounts again
[19:56] <intrader> bubbasaures, got it - thanks
[19:56] <kristenbb> daftykins: I think 2GB ram, maybe 2 cores. it's a laptop.
[19:57] <daftykins> kristenbb: if you could install the package "pastebinit" then run "lspci | pastebinit" we could get an idea of what graphics that is
[19:57] <AMD-Z> 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] <SecretFire> i tried everything
[19:57] <SecretFire> i cant save anything
[19:57] <kristenbb> daftykins: i don't have the laptop at hand, i'm just talking from memory :(
[19:58] <SecretFire> makes me want to cry :(
[19:58] <kristenbb> daftykins: but it doesn't get to a point where i could launch a terminal
[19:58] <daftykins> 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] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: hmm.. i see
[19:59] <daftykins> kristenbb: oh so doesn't start up successfully? yeah definitely try xubuntu :)
[19:59] <SecretFire> it renamed it to /dev/sdd just now it was /dev/sdc1
[20:00] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : is msdos partition table ok
[20:00] <samthewildone> isn't there a easier paint tool for ubuntu
[20:00] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: do you use dualboot with windows?
[20:00] <samthewildone> gimp is a pain
[20:00] <kristenbb> 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] <samthewildone> especially with Unity
[20:00] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : yes
[20:00] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: I would format it in windows for being sure, you can use msdos but im not sure
[20:01] <daftykins> kristenbb: err, after reinstall? i'd have an external hard disk to backup to, then backup the user's /home on it
[20:01] <CapriKornus> 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] <kristenbb> 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] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Move the windows around and be sure nothing is hiding
[20:02] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : i kind of see what is going on it keeps mounting to a new location like /dev/sdd /dev/sde
[20:03] <OerHeks> samthewildone, type paint in softwarecenter, lots of them
[20:03] <kristenbb> 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] <CapriKornus> bubbasaures: Nopes, I checked, nothing is hiding behind it
[20:03] <intrader> CapriKornus, upgrading from 12.04 took 6 hrs - I am upgrading on lenovo t61p
[20:03] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Stuck means what exactly?
[20:04] <CapriKornus> intrader: It's been 4 hour for me till now, but at no point was it stuck
[20:04] <CapriKornus> bubbasaures: Atm it is showing "Preparing xfonts-utils"
[20:04] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: I have to go, talk you later, i guess someone else can help you out
[20:04] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : thanks
[20:04] <AMD-Z> SecretFire: goodluck ;)
[20:04] <intrader> CapriKornus, sorry I am not knowledgeable enough - good luck
[20:04] <daftykins> 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] <SecretFire> AMD-Z : im gonna need it
[20:05] <CapriKornus> and in Terminal it says "Unpacking ttf-mscorefonts-installer (versions and stuff)
[20:05] <CapriKornus> intrader: Thanks
[20:05] <kristenbb> daftykins: and how to get to a point where i could do all that ?
[20:05] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Ah that is 3rd party, usually part of the restricted extras.
[20:06] <daftykins> kristenbb: either from a LiveCD, or just try to access a TTY instead of the working X session (Ctrl)+Alt+F1 -> F6
[20:07] <kristenbb> daftykins: ok and from a TTY, what commands to launch to remove all nvidia packages ?
[20:07] <CapriKornus> bubbasaures: Can anything be done? If not, can I cancel the current upgrade and restart it?
[20:07] <wrongplace> i need help regarding convertall
[20:07] <wrongplace> it doesnt work for me
[20:07] <wrongplace> all it shows its "converting", but never returns a result
[20:07] <wrongplace> frustrating
[20:07] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Probably someone knows this area, at least better than me for a good answer.
[20:08] <daftykins> kristenbb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[20:08] <CapriKornus> Okay thanks for trying
[20:08] <mekhami> 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] <kristenbb> 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] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Chances are you will have to stop it and run a command to restart it, just wait for help.
[20:09] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> kristenbb: it's hard to give you any more suggestions without knowing more sadly
[20:10] <intrader> 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
[20:10] <odisa> AMD-Z: apparently Unity Plugin was disabled.. I enabled it in ccsm, but still no go.. any ideas?
[20:10] <odisa> intrader: create a launcher for it, and it should not be restricted to terminal
[20:11] <klemax> Hello, I have nokia booklet 3g. I got some sound issue such as the sound of crackling.
[20:12] <kristenbb> 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] <bubbasaures> klemax, What ubuntu release, and crackling on what speakers, or headphones?
[20:13] <daftykins> 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] <klemax> bubbasaures: while watching some videos on youtube...
[20:14] <CapriKornus> bubbasaures: Any idea how much time I should wait? It's been an hour almost I think
[20:15] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, I meant wait for help basically, are you backed up?
[20:15] <kristenbb> daftykins: anything else i should know ? is there a tool from command line to choose the default driver to use ?
[20:15] <klemax> bubbasaures: and ubuntu 12.04
[20:16] <CapriKornus> bubbasaures: Not really (oops)
[20:16] <daftykins> kristenbb: that would be a moot point after removing all nvidia* packages. unfortunately experience can't really be taught!
[20:16] <bubbasaures> klemax, And the computer, or external speakers or headphones and is this every sound you are accessing? Read te questions carefully.
[20:16] <CapriKornus> I had a portable 1 TB HDD, but it crashed last month, so I couldn't
[20:17] <odisa> 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] <kristenbb> 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] <klemax> bubbasaures: computer or external speakers.
[20:17] <TJ-> 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] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, Without a backup I can't feel confident.
[20:18] <bubbasaures> klemax, Every single sound instance?
[20:18] <kristenbb> TJ-: thanks i'll be sure to try that
[20:18] <CapriKornus> Just my luck
[20:18] <kristenbb> odisa: thanks for the info
[20:18] <klemax> bubbasaures: yeah exactly.
[20:19] <david38400> I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and cups isnt working properly. Can anyone help please
[20:19] <bubbasaures> klemax, Not sure really, does it do this from a live as well?
[20:19] <klemax> 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] <odisa> sure thing kristenbb
[20:20] <kristenbb> 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] <klemax> bubbasaures: is it related to kernel?
[20:20] <bubbasaures> klemax, No ideas.
[20:21] <klemax> bubbasaures: ok thanks for your interest.
[20:21] <odisa> 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] <odisa> kristenbb: oh, sounds like we're having similar issues
[20:22] <daftykins> odisa: not if you login and see a picture, no
[20:22] <daftykins> kristenbb: hmm, i'd try a unity reset first too, info available online
[20:22] <daftykins> i must go now unfortunately, so good luck
[20:22] <odisa> daftykins: ohh good point
[20:22] <kristenbb> daftykins: :(
[20:23] <kristenbb> daftykins: will you be there tomorrow, at around the same hour ?
[20:24] <daftykins> kristenbb: hmm, hard to say. will you have the laptop then? i'm sure anyone will be able to help at that time.
[20:24] <kristenbb> daftykins: ok i'll try again tomorrow, thx.
[20:27] <bubbasaures> !pm | CapriKornus
[20:27] <bubbasaures> CapriKornus, I normally have PM off.
[20:28] <bubbasaures> PMing without asking is not a good idea
[20:29] <CapriKornus> Sorry
[20:32] <CapriKornus> Hi, I'm upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 and the installer has become stuck from the past 1 hour. Can anyone help please? Or is it possible to revert the changes?
[20:37] <reisio> CapriKornus: so you're reinstalling?
[20:38] <CapriKornus> reisio: No, I got the upgrade option today for 12.04 to 14.04, so I was doing that
[20:38] <reisio> oh okay
[20:38] <TJ-> 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] <CapriKornus> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Can you tell me location of log file please?
[20:39] <TJ-> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Alright I will check it out now
[20:44] <CapriKornus> 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] <TJ-> CapriKornus: is the CPU usage doing more than idling too?
[20:46] <CapriKornus> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: I don't know, I can't open System Monitor :(
[20:47] <TJ-> CapriKornus: "top" in the terminal
[20:47] <peapea> TJ- what could be wrong with my failed upgrade?
[20:49] <CapriKornus> TJ-: It's showing me a system monitor of sorts, what should I check for in that?
[20:49] <Irishluck83> i have a driver issue hope someone can help me with
[20:50] <Kaco> good evening
[20:50] <Irishluck83> 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] <TJ-> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Well, there's chrome, xorg, gnome-shell but other than those, nothing
[20:52] <TJ-> 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] <TJ-> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: the same as I mentioned earlier, plus kworker and gnome-term
[20:55] <CapriKornus> TJ-: I will check again
[20:56] <netlar> What are those desktop widgets called, like the active clock and stuff
[20:56] <Extensa5630G> is ubuntu debian sid? :O
[20:57] <reisio> netlar: desktop widgets
[20:57] <genii> Extensa5630G: The short answer is "no".
[20:57] <reisio> gnome shell extensions?
[20:57] <reisio> gadgets?
[20:57] <netlar> reisio: yes what are they called
[20:57] <reisio> that's what they're called
[20:57] <CapriKornus> 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] <root____> Hi ppl!
[20:58] <netlar> reisio: well where can I get these
[20:58] <reisio> hi root
[20:58] <bubbasaures> Extensa5630G, ubuntu is pulled from the unstable but developed under ubuntu.
[20:58] <reisio> netlar: gnome.org
[20:58] <reisio> Extensa5630G: yes it is
[20:58] <Extensa5630G> bubbasaures: so it is very close to debian sid?
[20:58] <netlar> reisio: they are the active ones?
[20:58] <CapriKornus> TJ-: It is 2:28 AM my time, so it's been almost an hour
[20:58] <reisio> Extensa5630G: incredibly close
[20:58] <Extensa5630G> reisio: hey
[20:58] <reisio> hey
[20:58] <TJ-> 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] <bubbasaures> Extensa5630G, Not close enough to mix installs if that is the issue.
[20:59] <reisio> it isn't :)
[20:59] <TJ-> CapriKornus: Sounds like a prompt asking about the Bluetooth (bluez) package's config file changes
[20:59] <Extensa5630G> bubbasaures: sorry what you mean by mixing installs?
[20:59] <reisio> Extensa5630G: he was guessing what you were interested in
[20:59] <bubbasaures> Extensa5630G, What is your end goal?
[20:59] <netlar> Well as usual thanks lol
[20:59] <reisio> he was trying to decide between Debian and Ubuntu
[20:59] <reisio> but didn't know that Ubuntu was based on Debian unstable
[21:00] <reisio> he's here for confirmation
[21:00] <Extensa5630G> bubbasaures: i'm wondering in this darkness of illiteracy
[21:00] <CapriKornus> 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] <bubbasaures> Extensa5630G, Are you trying to choose a distro?
[21:00] <TJ-> CapriKornus: Hmmm, did the dialog not properly go away I wonder?
[21:01] <Extensa5630G> 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] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Also no more hidden input screens, I don't have anything open except the upgrade, chrome for chat, nautilus and terminal
[21:02] <TJ-> CapriKornus: I'm not sure then, the logs seem to indicate it is still awaiting the input
[21:02] <root____> exit
[21:02] <root____> quit
[21:02] <root____> bye
[21:03] <bubbasaures> Extensa5630G, More specific questions would help, while understanding this is a support channel on installs or trying to install ubuntu.
[21:03] <Extensa5630G> d'oh
[21:04] <reisio> well he already got his answer
[21:04] <bubbasaures> yes I'm really ignoring you reisio
[21:04] <BadBoy203> hey
[21:04]  * Extensa5630G hides in reisio 's pocket.
[21:04] <reisio> bubbasaures: I believe you
[21:04] <reisio> BadBoy203: heyo
[21:04] <bubbasaures> no faking
[21:05] <reisio> bubbasaures: :)
[21:05] <BadBoy203> heyyyyyyy
[21:05] <BadBoy203> !
[21:05] <CapriKornus> 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] <CapriKornus> So quite a bit of work was done after that
[21:06] <Extensa5630G> 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] <jotik> 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
[21:06] <jotik> sry, wrong channel!
[21:06] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <reisio> Extensa5630G: why not just move to debian unstable
[21:06] <jotik> YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THOSE LINKS
[21:07] <bubbasaures> !ot | jotik
[21:07] <jhutchins> bubbasaures: He knows, he apologised.
[21:07] <jotik> bubbasaures: I'm sorry.
[21:07] <Extensa5630G> reisio: folks advised me to keep the stable, the unstable is buggy enough to be avoided
[21:08] <bubbasaures> good for them
[21:08] <TJ-> 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] <jhutchins> 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] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <Psil0Cybin> Is there a guide so i do not ask simple questions here on how to use rsync?
[21:09] <Psil0Cybin> how to properly, transfer over information so  i do not lose permissions etc
[21:09] <BadBoy203> i have a problem when i open intrenet explorer in ubuntu it crashes
[21:09] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: Of course you can use a hard drive for backup.
[21:09] <Psil0Cybin> well its an external drive, so i would format it to be ext4? correct?
[21:09] <OerHeks> !backup
[21:09] <Psil0Cybin> prior to putting my files there.
[21:10] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: If the external drive is an ext filesystem you can just copy the files.
[21:10] <Psil0Cybin> really? wow
[21:10] <Psil0Cybin> that seems simple..
[21:10] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: If it's not, you can still preserve ownershio & permissions by using tar.
[21:10] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Ok, I will check that out
[21:10] <Psil0Cybin> oh wowww...okay
[21:10] <Psil0Cybin> i need to read those links prior to doing this
[21:10] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: The file attributes will be stored inside the tarball and can be restored.
[21:11] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <Psil0Cybin> just incase
[21:11] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: You can also create a compressed tarball easily using bzip or gzip.  bzip is generally the most efficient.
[21:12] <Psil0Cybin> wowowow, that easy huh
[21:12] <Psil0Cybin> and when i install the new system i can just copy over all the files....
[21:12] <Psil0Cybin> and it should be good to go?
[21:12] <jhutchins> cd /home && tar -czvf backup.tgz ./myhomedir
[21:12] <Psil0Cybin> or do i need to do some manual configurations in order to adapt to my old changes.
[21:13] <CapriKornus> 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] <jhutchins> 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] <CapriKornus> 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] <mlindner> How do I make rsyslog read a new config file
[21:14] <mlindner> I put a config file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ but its not routing to the specified file
[21:14] <mlindner> the file doesnt exist
[21:14] <jhutchins> 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] <mlindner> does rsyslog not create a file if it doesn't exist?
[21:14] <Psil0Cybin> jhutchins, so would i also backl up /etc/ or erc
[21:14] <Psil0Cybin> yea
[21:14] <Psil0Cybin> that is a good idea!
[21:14] <Psil0Cybin> so i would back up
[21:14] <jhutchins> mlindner: It can.  Restart it.
[21:14] <Psil0Cybin>  "/home" "/etc" and "/var" just incase?
[21:15] <Psil0Cybin> i mostly just want my SSH keys, GPG Keys, etc, inforamtion that is uniqie
[21:15] <Psil0Cybin> i cannot recreate
[21:15] <Psil0Cybin> so im thinking the home directory might even be enough
[21:15] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: I don't think you need /var unless you're using mysql for soemthing
[21:15] <guntbert> Psil0Cybin: please don't press <enter> so often
[21:16] <Psil0Cybin> 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] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: Possibly crontabs in /var/spool/cron and mail in /var/spool/mail.
[21:16] <mlindner> jhutchins: I tried that
[21:16] <CapriKornus> TJ-: Please see if this helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8039550/
[21:16] <mlindner> jhutchins: file not created
[21:16] <mlindner> jhutchins: even tried restarting my system and no luck
[21:16] <jhutchins> Psil0Cybin: Yes, that will work.
[21:17] <Psil0Cybin> Okay sounds amazing!
[21:17] <jhutchins> mlindner: Possibly you need to create the file yourself (and in logrotate).
[21:18] <mlindner> jhutchins: so it doesn't create the files automatically?
[21:18] <mlindner> jhutchins: whats the proper way of doing this?
[21:18] <Hammerhead2011-S> I can't be the only one seeing this, wireshark capture options screen won't resize and it's driving me crazy!
[21:18] <Hammerhead2011-S> The buttons to cancel or save the options is below the bottom of the screen. Has anyone else seen this???
[21:18] <jhutchins> mlindner: You might pastebin your conf file and maybe someone will recognise what's going on.
[21:19] <dluzius> need help setting up dual boot Ubuntu on my w8 laptop
[21:19] <Hammerhead2011-S> Ubuntu 13.10
[21:19] <bubbasaures> eol | Hammerhead2011-S
[21:19] <bubbasaures> !eol | Hammerhead2011-S
[21:20] <OerHeks> Hammerhead2011-S, left ALT + left mouse button to grab an move the window
[21:20] <bubbasaures> !uefi | dluzius
[21:20] <bubbasaures> dluzius, Make a unallocated space for ubuntu using the widows disk manager
[21:21] <mlindner> jhutchins: hmm ok, its dead simple though: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8039570/
[21:22] <Hammerhead2011-S> eol?!?! that is your answer??? Lame. The window will not resize, that does not mean jump onto the 14 bandwagon and battle driver issues all over again....no way.
[21:22] <Hammerhead2011-S> anyone else have a real suggestion
[21:22] <bubbasaures> dluzius, I would image/clone that windows to an external and have a recovery or install disc to cover any possibilities.
[21:23] <bubbasaures> Hammerhead2011-S, Only support you will get here is limited to be honest.
[21:23] <mlindner> jhutchins: any idea?
[21:23] <OerHeks> Hammerhead2011-S, time to read back, i gave a solution
[21:24] <bubbasaures> Hammerhead2011-S, 14.04 has 5 years support if you want to be set, so did 12.04.
[21:24] <CapriKornus> Hi, Installation stuck while upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Can someone please help restart it or revert to my earlier system?
[21:24] <Hammerhead2011-S> hahah perfect timing!
 that only moves the entire window not "resize" it.
[21:25] <OerHeks> Hammerhead2011-S, then you can grab the top or corner, can't you?
[21:26] <MaxSan> not sure if the folks who were here earlier helping me are still about
[21:26] <MaxSan> but i have had zero luck with ubuntu
[21:26] <MaxSan> tried deleteing the ~/.cache
[21:27] <MaxSan> update and dist-update
[21:27] <MaxSan> still just does nothing on login
[21:27] <MaxSan> no idea what to do
[21:27] <peapea> bubbasaures, something seems to be moving suddenly, update-distupgrade adds a lot of new packages now :)
[21:30] <aguitel> synaptic touchpad is not working in my laptop asus X550LA ,any tips ?
[21:30] <CapriKornus> Hi, Installation stuck while upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Can someone please help restart it or revert to my earlier system?
[21:32] <SecretFire> I am trying to create a partition table on my external hard drive so that I can format it in ubuntu, but I am unable to because it says it is write protected and causes a Input/Output error on read of disk, can someone help me with this?
[21:34] <david38400> Can anyone help me with printing problems please. I have just today upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and my printer doesnt work.Dont know where to start
[21:37] <irreverant> is the command to unsinstal sudo apt-get delete xchat?
[21:37] <irreverant> i know sudo apt-get install xchat
[21:37] <irreverant> what takes it off
[21:37] <CapriKornus> Hi, Installation stuck while upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Can someone please help restart it or revert to my earlier system?
[21:38] <dluzius> I used to create a live cd from the downloaded .iso file, and boot to this. did it with various distros for last 5 yrs. no major problems, but new acer laptop has no optical drive and uses uefi, so I am completely lost. need simple step by step help, pls.
[21:38] <k1l_> irreverant: apt-get remove. or apt-get purge if you want to get rid of all config files, too
[21:40] <david38400> can anyone please tell me how to open a i386 deb.tar.gz file
[21:41] <david38400> CapriKornus, I have just today upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and am having problems too
[21:41] <SecretFire> I am trying to create a partition table on my external hard drive so that I can format it in ubuntu, but I am unable to because it says it is write protected and causes a Input/Output error on read of disk, can someone help me with this?
[21:42] <CapriKornus> david38400: Luck is not on our side. my upgrade is stuck half way
 sorry had to step away, yes I can grab the corner but the window DOES NOT adjust in size
[21:43] <david38400> CapriKornus, I though upgrading would be a good thing, but...... I can't use my printer there is a problem and nobody seems to want to help
[21:43] <OerHeks> Hammerhead2011-S, can't help you, good luck
[21:43] <irreverant> apt-get purge xchat?
[21:43] <jhutchins> david38400: tar files don't care about architecture.
[21:44] <jhutchins> david38400: Your filemanager should know how to open it, you can gunzip then un-tar it, or you can tar -xzvf file.tar.gz
[21:44] <jhutchins> david38400: It's more likely that no-one currently on understands what's wrong or knows the solution.
[21:44] <david38400> jhutchins, I dont know Ubuntu 14.04 at all so just don't know where to start
[21:45] <david38400> thanks for helping though. Any ideas
[21:45] <CapriKornus> david38400: I just saw your question and this popped up when googled: http://askubuntu.com/questions/344865/how-to-install-a-deb-tar-gz-file . Have you tried it?
[21:46] <jhutchins> david38400: We would need to know what printer you're trying to get working and what steps you've taken so far, as well as what specifically happened when you took them.
[21:47] <david38400> jhutchins, its a canon pixma mp250 I go to print and nothing happens.
[21:47] <david38400> CapriKornus, Thanks will check it out. Good luck with your problem.
[21:47] <CapriKornus> david38400: good luck to you too
[21:48] <jhutchins> david38400: Last time I printed with Ubuntu it used cups.  Point a browser to localhost:631 and see what happens.
[21:48] <jhutchins> david38400: THere is probably a front-end for setting up the printer in System Settings (don't have an ubuntu handy to check).
[21:50] <SecretFire> can someone help me format and partition my hard drive?
[21:53] <Kaco> hello
[21:54] <JohnTalent> what file permission should /tmp have?

[22:02] <snilocks> Hello there, noob here: could someone help me with adb? I'm trying to root an old android phone through the shell, but apparently the build I'm using is production, and won't grant me root access. Do I have to install a custom build, or would I have to make one myself?
[22:02] <basiclaser> hey guys, im on ubuntu, I need to make a gif from a video file. Can you suggest any software?
[22:04] <OerHeks> ffmpeg -i video_origin.avi gif_anime.gif
[22:04] <magic> snilocks: That would probably be better suited for a different channel like #android-dev
[22:04] <magic> Oops
[22:04] <magic> #android-root
[22:05] <OerHeks> if mmpeg complaints, about rgb24 > ffmpeg -i video_origin.avi -pix_fmt rgb24 gif_anime.gif
[22:05] <k1l_> snilocks: you should better ask the android root/dev guys. we could help with issues with installing adb but not with the android issues
[22:06] <snilocks> magic: thanks!
[22:06] <snilocks> k1l_: I appreciate it!
[22:07] <basiclaser> OerHeks: wow now and simple :D
[22:07] <OerHeks> basiclaser, have fun
[22:07] <basiclaser> any way of clipping the gif to a certain time slot?
[22:08] <basiclaser> any way of clipping the gif to a certain time slot? OerHeks
[22:09] <dtigue> anyone know how to ban ip addresses using CIDR addresses in iptables without it locking up a server?
[22:09] <OerHeks> basiclaser, timeslot ?
[22:09] <basiclaser> OerHeks: for example i just want a gif of 00:02 > 00:07 but the total video is 03:00
[22:10] <OerHeks> basiclaser, not sure ffmpeg can do that ..
[22:12] <DVA5912> Hey fellas! Been a while since ive been on here. But i hope you all can help me once again! I have the latest ubuntu setup in the varient of XBMCbuntu works just fine. HTTP is working fine and ssh is my problem! I can connect via SSH to the server and get the login prompt. I put in my credentials just like i would if i was on the servers network but it wont let me log in. Now if i am on the servers network, and i try to access the 
[22:12] <dtigue> we are trying to set our firewall machine to ban 1.5 billion IPv4 addresses using CIDR but iptables is changing it from, example: 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. so the hash file goes from 1500 lines using CIDR to 1.5 billion lines or so, it eats up all 8 gigs of RAM on the dedicated firewall machine
[22:13] <basiclaser> OerHeks: ok thanks i will do research :)
[22:13] <dtigue> DVA5912: has you sshd config file changed since the upgrade?
[22:14] <DVA5912> dtigue the SSHD config file hasn't changed since ive installed it, Its a fresh install
[22:17] <daftykins> DVA5912: what do you mean by 'servers network' ?
[22:18] <JohnTalent> k1l_: okay, who owns and what group?
[22:18] <k1l_> root:root
[22:18] <DVA5912> daftykins My pc is connected to the internet on the same network the server is on. (Clarification: server is 192.168.1.35, im on 192.168.1.145 through the same router). The server has been DMZd
[22:19] <daftykins> DVA5912: and you say the server is on xbmcbuntu?
[22:19] <DVA5912> daftykins afirmative
[22:19] <JohnTalent> k1l_: okay thanks.
[22:19] <daftykins> DVA5912: and what happens when you enter user+pas, just get denied repeatedly until you hit the maximum retries?
[22:20] <mlindner> Gah! rsyslog is kicking my butt
[22:20] <mlindner> it just doesnt do anything it should
[22:20] <DVA5912> daftykins Afirmative. Where as when im on the same network, it will go in the first time
[22:20] <dtigue> do you get any errors in your log files ? grep -ir ssh /var/log/*
[22:21] <broomboy> buonasera
[22:21] <dtigue> or grep -ir security /var/log/*
[22:21] <broomboy> avrei bisogno di aiuto..
[22:21] <daftykins> DVA5912: hang on, so the failed attempt is when you're SSHing in from somewhere else out on the internet?
[22:21] <dtigue> broomboy: what?
[22:21] <DVA5912> dtigue im at work right now so i wont be able to get a result for you at this time. Curiously came on here wonderinf if it could be something on my client. ill keep that command and look when i get home
[22:21] <DVA5912> daftykins that is correct
[22:22] <Loshki> dtigue: broomboy said "good evening" in Italian...
[22:22] <DVA5912> so if i ssh into chancehome.noip.me it wont go though, more so if i do it localy @ 192.168.1.35 it does
[22:22] <Loshki> !it | broomboy
[22:22] <DVA5912> Ive also tried the ip of that fqdn and still nothing daftykins
[22:23] <Loshki> DVA5912: what exactly does "won't go through" mean?
[22:24] <DVA5912> Loshki "Wont Go Through" means wont authenticate the correct user and pass
[22:24] <fdjksl> hey, having this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/510470/ubuntu-not-booting-properly-after-update-black-screen-with-cursor
[22:24] <fdjksl> anyone able to help?
[22:24] <Loshki> DVA5912: and does the same username/pass work when you log on to the server's console?
[22:24] <daftykins> DVA5912: could be a firewall config issue, but yeah until you're home we won't get far diagnosing!
[22:24] <DVA5912> Loshki That is afirmative
[22:25] <fdjksl> ubuntu won't boot
[22:25] <Loshki> DVA5912: and it's not root? There are special rules for root logins...
[22:25] <daftykins> fdjksl: #ubuntu+1 for utopic. it's not final yet
[22:25] <DVA5912> daftykins wouldnt a firewal config issue phorhibit me from even getting the prompt
[22:25] <DVA5912> Loshki nope its definently not root
[22:25] <daftykins> DVA5912: you'd think so, but i've seen crazier things
[22:25] <fdjksl> so what should i do?
[22:25] <zo> good evening
[22:26] <DVA5912> 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] <fdjksl> also it might not be a problem with me using an unstable version
[22:26] <daftykins> fdjksl: well, we can't help you in here when running an unstable version, policy is policy i'm afraid.
[22:26] <fdjksl> i updated a tonnnn of stuff without looking at what it was
[22:27] <fdjksl> sigh
[22:27] <Loshki> fdjksl: Dunno. Drop back to a better supported version?
[22:27] <fdjksl> not sure how i'll be able to fix this
[22:27] <daftykins> just join the other channel.
[22:27] <fdjksl> how?
[22:27] <DVA5912> fdjksl been there.. My fix was to wipe and reload
[22:27] <fdjksl> clean install?
[22:27] <daftykins> fdjksl: well in future don't upgrade to non-final releases.
[22:27] <fdjksl> i wasn't really paying attention, just hit y to every option in the update thing in GRUG
[22:27] <fdjksl> *GRUB
[22:28] <Loshki> daftykins: amen...
[22:28] <fdjksl> anyway guess i'll do that
[22:29]  * Loshki and with that, fdjksl disappeared, poof!
[22:29] <zo> test
[22:29] <k1l_> failed
[22:29] <DVA5912> Test => failed... Go to home
[22:30] <mlindner> Anyone know how to get rsyslog to recognize new config files pointing to new log files without doing a pkill on it?
[22:30] <Loshki> zo: loud and clear. If you have a Ubuntu support question, ask it now....
[22:30] <Loshki> mlindner: kill -HUP used to work on many apps to get them to reread their configs. Tried it?
[22:30] <mlindner> Loshki: yeah no luck
[22:31] <mlindner> Loshki: it reloads but doesn't grab the new config
[22:31] <mlindner> so weird
[22:31] <alberto_> sdfgsd
[22:31] <Loshki> mlindner: if you can code, I'd look at the source at this point. Not for everyone I understand....
[22:32] <zo> qu'est ce que je fais ici????
[22:33] <Loshki> !fr | zo
[22:33] <LaylC> 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] <timhansen> good evening, all
[22:37] <zo> bey
[22:38] <timhansen> 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] <zo> ar mba mis  mten FR ian ato an!!
[22:39] <LaylC> sooo I guess no one here knows either?
[22:39] <zo> reinstall et c'est fini
[22:39] <francis> window 1
[22:40] <wafflejock> !fr | zo
[22:41] <Loshki> zo: ar mba mis  mten FR ian ato an!!  <-- er, what language is this?
[22:41] <wafflejock> LaylC, I don't know but apache-mono-server for running C# instead of using IIS?
[22:41] <emilcardell> Hi.
[22:41] <wafflejock> Loshki, I can't tell but closest guess from some words was french
[22:41] <LaylC> wafflejock, apache-mono-server is for running ASP.NET with apache yea
[22:42] <emilcardell> 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] <wafflejock> Loshki, ah didn't notice you had already ubottued for fr sorry for the repeat all
[22:43] <wafflejock> emilcardell, yeah one minute
[22:43] <absk007> how to set zsh as my default in gnome-terminal?
[22:43] <Loshki> wafflejock: np, I wonder if zo will catch on though...
[22:43] <wafflejock> emilcardell, oh wait I'm using 12.04
[22:44] <wafflejock> emilcardell, did the 12.04 setup not work on 14.04?
[22:44] <emilcardell> nope
[22:44] <emilcardell> wafflejock: Don't thinks so. Do I need to restart the service using that user?
[22:45] <zo> Loshki: malagasy
[22:45] <Loshki> 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] <wafflejock> emilcardell, jenkins ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/mkdir, /bin/rm, /bin/cp, /bin/tar, /bin/chown, /sbin/start, /sbin/stop
[22:45] <wafflejock> emilcardell, think I restarted Jenkins after the change
[22:45] <Loshki> zo: don't know if we have a group for that!
[22:45] <wafflejock> sudo service jenkins restart
[22:45] <Loshki> wafflejock: jenkins is a service?
[22:46] <wafflejock> yeah it runs as a Java service on port 8080
[22:46] <wafflejock> I just installed from the repos
[22:46] <zo> velomadôl e! za nde atory!! bonne nuit
[22:46] <emilcardell> wafflejock: The pattern in the sudoers file now for root ie is root	ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
[22:46] <wafflejock> emilcardell, yeah I have the same for root
[22:47] <LaylC> sooo anyone has any ideas? perhaps a more up to date apt package repo to download it from?
[22:47] <emilcardell> wafflejock: If I need it for all paths and stuff?
[22:47] <wafflejock> emilcardell, well it works on all paths I'm just telling it what commands it can use
[22:47] <wafflejock> I'm not sure how to open that up but I like that it's restricted to some degree
[22:48] <Loshki> 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] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> the jenkins user shouldn't have a login shell either so no-one can actually login as that user
[22:51] <wafflejock> also good to use fail2ban and change your ssh port and use key pairs instead of normal password logins
[22:51] <wafflejock> but so much to do when securing something it's hard to list everything, I trust jenkins though
[22:51] <LaylC> Wellll if no one here knows anything either I guess it's impossible to run a slightly different version of mono
[22:52] <wafflejock> LaylC, probably not impossible just unknown :P
[22:52] <havarka> hi guys, how do I install wine under linux?!
[22:52] <wafflejock> !wine
[22:52] <LaylC> how come it's unknown how to just run a newer version of a thing
[22:53] <wafflejock> 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] <bobana> hi I hope I am in the right place for ubuntu support
[22:53] <wafflejock> 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] <daftykins> yes, ask away bobana
[22:54] <havarka> ubottu: thanks
[22:54] <LaylC> 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] <wafflejock> 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] <bobana> 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] <bobana> or, not open his ports, but let the router's firewall down so he can play his game
[22:55] <bobana> but only on his computer
[22:55] <LaylC> I tried symlinks but it ended up not finding the mono dll files it needed
[22:56] <wafflejock> bobana, probably better to just forward the ports on the router config
[22:56] <wafflejock> bobana, most routers have a LAN/DHCP client list when you login
[22:56] <mlindner> 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
[22:57] <bobana> thank you wafflejock. it is giving me something like looks like 10.0.0.2
[22:57] <wafflejock> 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] <bobana> is that all I need to add?
[22:58] <LaylC> wafflejock, no, mono is a .NET port, and .NET libraries are DLLs
[22:58] <al1o> 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] <Loshki> mlindner: thanks for reporting back with this. It seems like a mis-feature...
[22:58] <wafflejock> bobana, type route -n in a terminal to see the gateway
[22:58] <LaylC> I'm now looking at Xamarin's own package repo, but the pacakges in there are called "mono-snapshot-<date>", so they won't be picked up from there as dependencies
[22:59] <timhansen> 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] <bobana> 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] <timhansen> does anyone have any other suggestions for things to try?
[22:59] <wafflejock> bobana, what OS is his computer?
[23:00] <wafflejock> bobana, also do you know how to use the terminal?
[23:00] <bobana> it is giving me destinations, gateways. (windows 7 i think)
[23:00] <bobana> i am learning terminal
[23:00] <wafflejock> 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] <bobana> whic hwould be the right support channel?
[23:01] <bobana> or I'll find it
[23:01] <wafflejock> 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] <bobana> but thank you for humoring me
[23:01] <wafflejock> bobana, np just saying sometimes the admins in here get upset when it's not Linux support
[23:01] <emilcardell> wafflejock: Problem was else where. It worked. Thanks.
[23:01] <bobana> I know how to access a router. Oh okay.
[23:01] <wafflejock> emilcardell, np glad you got it sorted
[23:01] <bobana> well, the linux support I needed was the  internal system error I encountered after installing arp-scan
[23:02] <wafflejock> bobana, ah okay well on a linux machine you can use: route -n
[23:02] <wafflejock> in a terminal
[23:02] <wafflejock> that'll show you the gateway
[23:02] <wafflejock> that'll be the router IP
[23:02] <bobana> 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] <wafflejock> bobana, not sure about arp-scan not really something I've used
[23:02] <bobana> oh okay
[23:03] <bobana> 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] <wafflejock> but ifconfig in linux or ipconfig in windows will show you the client machines IP too
[23:03] <wafflejock> bobana, internal error is a generic error so don't fret too much
[23:04] <bobana> oh okay. I am new to linux so I appreciate ya'lls' patience
[23:04] <wafflejock> timhansen, safe to assume you tried with wired ethernet and get higher speeds?
[23:04] <jr_> 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] <bobana> thank you
[23:04] <jr_> I
[23:04] <wafflejock> bobana, np newbies welcome
[23:04] <jr_> I'm pretty desperate
[23:04] <timhansen> wafflejock, yes. i also have winblows installed, and get higher speeds (the 25-27 that my ISP has allotted me)
[23:05] <jr_> Anyone? :/
[23:05] <wafflejock> 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] <jr_> wafflejock: It is :(. I'll look into ddrescue, but it is on a remote host.
[23:06] <linux_> test
[23:07] <ArTeS> affirmative linux_
[23:07] <jr_> wafflejock: how do I interface with this program?
[23:08] <wafflejock> 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] <jr_> wafflejock: Yeah, unfortunately this raid had a file that contained all of my various account info...
[23:09] <jr_> For work,school, etc.
[23:09] <jr_> everything
[23:09] <jr_> 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] <jr_> sooo...yeah
[23:09] <wafflejock> ouch
[23:09] <jr_> wafflejock: yup
[23:09] <wafflejock> yeah I don't do the encrypted FS stuff cause of worries like that
[23:10] <wafflejock> also backup my keypassDB to a NAS and have a copy (albeit sometimes dated) on a flash drive
[23:10] <jr_> wafflejock: it was a double whammy at once. Never happened to me before
[23:10] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> timhansen, have you seen this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1132381
[23:11] <jr_> wafflejock: yeah. if it comes to it I will have to
[23:11] <wafflejock> 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?
[23:12] <wafflejock> I know ubottu
[23:14] <timhansen> 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] <timhansen> currently trying out the steps listed here: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7
[23:14] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> timhansen, ah k good luck
[23:15] <timhansen> wafflejock, thanks
[23:17] <jr__> 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] <jr__> gah!
[23:20] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> but in terms of the nitty gritty and dealing with RAID I just have 0 experience
[23:21] <wafflejock> jr__ what command were you running when it choked?
[23:21] <wafflejock> jr__ also check top to see if it's still executing maybe
[23:21] <wafflejock> the broken pipe might have just been a disconnect from ssh for some reason
[23:28] <andybrine> Hi Everyone
[23:32] <wafflejock> apparently andybrine has a bad connection or is very impatient
[23:32] <andybrine> sorry wafflejock I am having problems with connection
[23:33] <wafflejock> hah ah okay was half joking you here about your connection problems?
[23:33] <screen> help
[23:33] <wafflejock> !details | screen
[23:35] <andybrine> its strange Polari just stops for some reason and then empathy connects the channel
[23:35] <andybrine> just wanted to test Polari out
[23:36] <wafflejock> haven't tried Polari, I'm using XChat right now and have used Quassel in KDE
[23:37] <andybrine> yeah, I like Quassel
[23:37] <wafflejock> I use thunderbird for most of my stuff at this point since I just switched to gnome
[23:37] <wafflejock> yeah quassel was nice, XChat is okay
[23:37] <andybrine> works really well. Im loving the new gnome and thought I would try it out as its included
[23:38] <wafflejock> andybrine, weird I don't see Polari and I have Ubuntu Gnome as well
[23:38] <wafflejock> you get 14.04.1 ?
[23:38] <andybrine> you may have to install 3.12
[23:39] <andybrine> I upgraded to gnome 3.12 last week and got all the updates
[23:39] <etronik> 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] <etronik> I mean, remote PC to my Ubuntu PC @ home
[23:40] <andybrine> I would not worry about it not being fully tested now like some of the articles suggest
[23:40] <andybrine> it works flawlessly for me
[23:41] <second> hello. i cant seem to find the restart buttons after upgrading. what is the restart command please :)
[23:42] <evil_dan2wik> Why won't ubuntu let me use my DVD drive for this DVD?
[23:42] <evil_dan2wik> It just keeps saying IO error when I use vlc media player.
[23:44] <OerHeks> evil_dan2wik, have you installed restricted extras and followed the dvd guide ?
[23:44] <OerHeks> !dvd
[23:45] <OerHeks> evil_dan2wik, besides this, not ALL dvd's will play.
[23:45] <evil_dan2wik> 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] <OerHeks> evil_dan2wik, sure, but read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs for css script etc
[23:46] <daftykins> evil_dan2wik: not quite, the missing library to play commercial DVDs is missing :>
[23:46] <evil_dan2wik> E: Package 'libdvdcss2' has no installation candidate
[23:46] <OerHeks> even VLC has codecs, it cannot decypt
[23:47] <daftykins> evil_dan2wik: that's libdecss2 i think
[23:47] <evil_dan2wik> that was on the page I was linked
[23:48] <evil_dan2wik> daftykins, E: Unable to locate package libdecss2
[23:48] <daftykins> ah, no idea then
[23:48] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh # and reboot
[23:49] <evil_dan2wik> OerHeks, I can't reboot.
[23:49] <daftykins> wat.
[23:49] <daftykins> of course you can
[23:50] <evil_dan2wik> no, I mean, I have things running on this system that other people depend on.
[23:50] <daftykins> and you're playing DVDs on a 'production' system, nice :)
[23:51] <daftykins> you ought to design your setup better :)
[23:51] <evil_dan2wik> daftykins, school system, not mine.
[23:51] <daftykins> school 0o
[23:51] <evil_dan2wik> Also, I just unplugged the DVD drive and plugged it back in, no need for reboot
[23:53] <OerHeks> if that works, have fun
[23:55] <havarka> ubottu: what are those legal reasons?!
[23:55] <havarka> !dvd
[23:56] <OerHeks> havarka, dvdjohn cracked dvd encryption e few years ago, it is so widely spread, it is legal to use ( for some countries) but not legal to include
[23:57] <OerHeks> In the netherlands, where i am, it is legal, but just across the border, Germany, not.
[23:57] <Fall> 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] <daftykins> and at the tender age of 13-15 too :/
[23:57] <Fall> I'm in a pickle with xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin crashing when it upgrades to 1.4
[23:57] <OerHeks> yeah, first 11 bytes :-D
[23:57] <daftykins> Fall: look into apt pinning, don't know how but that's the term
[23:57] <Fall> daftykins: thank you very much I'll have a look
[23:58] <daftykins> *tips hat*
[23:58]  * Fall slinks back to idling
[23:58] <OerHeks> pinning and distro-upgrade does not work AFAIK
