popeyquicker to just wget, configure, make00:53
diddledan_yeah it's not easy to get a proper cross-toolchain working right00:53
daftykinsIndeed: computers used to just be BIOS based, that determined the structure of partitions on the disk and how they booted. more recently they use UEFI, which has greater capabilities and adds much confusion to those of us wanting to adopt a penguin00:53

daftykinsIndeed: Apple macs have used UEFI for a long time though00:54

diddledan_now the question arises from that animation above, why the file extension didn't change to cif?01:22

diddledan_still got a wonky display on the inbuilt monitor with wifi turned-on03:36
diddledan_that's been there ever since I got it tho03:36
diddledan_so 18 months now03:36
diddledan_I fail to understand why wifi would affect the gfx at all and only on the inbuilt display - with external displays attached it still does it on the internal display but the externals are fine03:38
daftykinsso if you turn off wifi, the picture repositions? 0o03:39

diddledan_this is the video I took on 13.04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSP2EIAkkJg03:41

diddledan_as far as I can tell the diagnosis of requiring wlan to be associated with an access point is correct03:46

nigelbif you're on the latest ubuntu, probably.04:29
nigelbolder, probably not.04:29

diddledanit's the second-to-last regex that's not right10:37

bigcalmGood morning peeps :)20:52
ThomasRedstonehello, I'm having an odd problem with Ubuntu 14.04, when the computer has locked sometimes I'm having to enter my password twice before it unlocks, sometimes the password box isn't responsive right away, and just now I've entered my password and it hadn't gone into the password box, but instead it went to a web browser instead, and actually resulted in my password being broadcast on a GroupMe group!!!20:53
ThomasRedstoneWhere on earth do I start in addressing this? Is it a known bug? Or am I special?20:54
popeyhave you updated your machine recently20:57
popeythese are two known bugs which have been fixed some weeks ago20:57
jpdsThomasRedstone: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y20:59
ThomasRedstoneit's a brand new install21:01
popeyso yeah, update it21:01
popeyor open update manager and do the updates it wants to21:02
bigcalmsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade21:02
ThomasRedstone14.04.1 LTS, going any updates required now21:03
ThomasRedstoneno dist-upgrade required21:05
ThomasRedstoneno packages to upgrade, fully up to date21:06
bigcalmAnd a reboot?21:07
popeyThomasRedstone: this was a 14.04.1 clean install?21:07
ThomasRedstoneit's been rebooted in the last few hours21:08
popeycan you run "apt-cache policy unity" and paste the result at paste.ubuntu.com21:09
ThomasRedstonethe additional packages I've installed are quite limited: virtualbox, chrome, vagrant, brackets, sublime text, and x-chat gnome, and their dependencies.21:11
ThomasRedstonehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8083062/21:12
popeyok, same as I have here.21:13
popeywhen was the last time your password leaked through the login screen?21:13
popeyfor what it's worth the workaround for the password issue is to click one of the indicators at the top right then click the password field to ensure it's highlighted.21:14
popeyhowever it _should_ be fixed in the version you have installed21:14
ThomasRedstoneabout 5 minutes before I came here :-) - the window that has been in the background hasn't been one that would accept text in the past, so this is the first time I've realised it could be leaked21:15
popeyIf you have 5 minutes can you file a bug? I'll walk you through it.21:15
popeyyeah, I've done the same!21:15
ThomasRedstoneI'm wondering if Virtualbox has *something* to do with it, I've had times where I couldn't type in Ubuntu, and I seemed to be stuck on a VM, but this was the browser in Ubuntu that had focus21:16
ThomasRedstonesure, I'll file a bug21:16
popeydo you have a launchpad account already?21:16
popeyif so, just open a terminal and run "ubuntu-bug unity" and it will gather stuff and take you to launchpad to file the bug21:17
popeyI filed bug 1306970 when it happened here21:17

popeybut i'm told that's been fixed21:17
popeybut if you're still getting it... maybe not21:17
popeybest for you to file a new bug though21:18
ThomasRedstoneokay, will do :-)21:18
popeythank you21:19
popeyfeel free to ping us the bug number when done.21:19
ThomasRedstoneyou have any problem with me borrowing your wording where it matches?21:23
bigcalmpopey: is your bitfolk vps 64bit?21:24
ThomasRedstoneasking "Do any of the following bugs describe the bug you're trying to report?" I'm not quite sure how to answer that one :-P it gives your bug :-)21:25
popeyhehe21:28
popeysay no, file a new one21:28
=== andatche_ is now known as andatche
popeybigcalm: no21:30
bigcalmpopey: okay, thanks21:33
bigcalmThink I might move my bytemark vps to their bigv cloud thing. Was considering bitfolk, but I need 64bit now21:34
popeywhy do you need 64-bit?21:35
bigcalmI can't be doing with the faff of getting gitlab to install of 32bit21:37
bigcalmI'll be saving money wherever I go, so having 64bit makes one option more attractive than another21:37
ThomasRedstone"This bug is a security vulnerability" - I'd say yes, but perhaps not in the way the question means, what do you think popey?21:38
popeyI'd say yes21:38
ThomasRedstoneOkay, it's filed, the bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/135850421:44

popeythanks ThomasRedstone21:46
ThomasRedstoneno problem popey :-)21:56
bigcalmA further 2h 20m on this database import - think I'll be leaving my laptop on over night21:58
ThomasRedstonea bit of a general question, has anyone else found the *buntu distributions less 'complete' (best word I can think of for it) than Ubuntu? I tried out Lubuntu, and things like handling multiple monitors were less smooth than Ubuntu22:06
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
hamitronThomasRedstone, sure, but they are more complete than a minimal install ;)22:34
ThomasRedstoneI guess so, I wanted something fast, to go on my new SSD, but as it turns out, Ubuntu is plenty fast enough :-) as I'm doing a lot of work in VMs, thought minimalistic would be fine, but it turns out the hardware management side is more of a deal breaker :-)22:44
Andrew_Hello all.23:26
Andrew_I am a new Unbutu user, and I am unable to use my dvd drive.23:26
Andrew_I am hoping I will find help here.23:26
Andrew_Is there someone here?23:27
Azelphur!elaborate | Andrew_23:27
lubotu3Andrew_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)23:27
Azelphuralso, Ubuntu :)23:27
Andrew_I do not know enough to elaborate.23:28
Andrew_I only know that the computer seems to see the dvd drive, and yet tells me that there is no media.23:28
Azelphuris it possible that the dvd you have put in is damaged? have you tried a different DVD?23:29
Andrew_The drive itself works. Of this I'm sure.23:29
Andrew_Also, I have used three discs.23:29
Andrew_I have followed many directions on websites and run the recommended terminal commands, with no change.23:30
AzelphurAndrew_: try putting the disk in the drive and try to mount it, then run dmesg in a terminal, it may provide additoinal information23:30
Andrew_Beyond placing the dvd in the drive, I do not know how to mount it.23:30
Andrew_This is incredibly frustrating for me, as I am comptia A+ and MCP, and yet I am totally stumped by this new OS.23:31
Azelphurhehe23:32
AzelphurAndrew_: I've never heard of a dvd drive not working ootb, it's strange that you'd have issues23:32
Andrew_I am certain that the OS sees the drive itself. Yet, all discs tried show as having no media.23:33
Andrew_I truly do not know what to do.23:36
AzelphurAndrew_: did you miss my suggestion earlier?23:36
Andrew_I am unsure how to mount a disc once I have placed it in the drive.23:37
AzelphurAndrew_: just open the file browser and click on it, that'll mount it23:37
Azelphur(or at least try to)23:37
Andrew_Click on what?23:37
Azelphurthe DVD drive23:38
Andrew_I see no indication of a DVD drive.23:38
Azelphurthat's odd23:38
AzelphurAndrew_: does /dev/cdrom exist?23:39
Andrew_Only by using the power button and searching for "DVD", then selecting "Disks", am I able to see an indication of the dvd drive, which is properly IDed.23:39
Andrew_dev/cdrom is unfound23:41
AzelphurAndrew_: can you paste the output of ls /dev/ ?23:41
Andrew_I am unsure of your request.23:42
Azelphurrun ls /dev/ in a terminal23:42
Azelphurand then put the results on pastebin23:42

Azelphur!pastebin23:44
lubotu3For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.23:44
Azelphurfine for one line to just paste it in the channel, though :)23:44
AzelphurAndrew_: do you have 2 optical drives?23:45
Andrew_http://paste.ubuntu.com/8083992/23:45
Andrew_I have 1 drive.23:45
Azelphurstrange, I wonder what sg0 and sg1 are23:45
Andrew_Have I shown you the proper url?23:45
Azelphuryup23:45
Azelphurah, that output wasn't anywhere near complete :P23:46
Andrew_Regardless of whether or not my issue will be resolved, I thank you in advance for taking the time to help me.23:46
AzelphurI imagine your drive is sr023:46
Andrew_I ran the terminal command you gave me, and that is the completed output23:46
AzelphurAndrew_: I mean when you pasted it in IRC, it was truncated, the pastebin link contains the full output :)23:47
Azelphurso yea, your dvd drive is sr0, which means the system is seeing it ok, one step in the right direction23:47
Andrew_Yes, I am certain that the OS sees the drive.23:48
Andrew_As a windows user, my first thought is drivers.23:48
Azelphurnah, if it's in /dev it's not a driver issue23:48
Andrew_Alright.23:48
AzelphurI wonder if the file browser is just having a funny to be honest, is there a disk in the drive?23:48
Andrew_Yes.23:49
Azelphursudo mkdir /media/cdrom23:49
Azelphursudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom23:49
Azelphurwhat does that get you? ^23:49
Andrew_5sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom23:50
Andrew_mount: no medium found on /dev/sr023:50
AzelphurIt's saying there's no disk in the drive23:50
AzelphurIs there a disk in the drive?23:50
Andrew_Yes.23:50
AzelphurAndrew_: what makes you sure that the DVD drive is functional?23:51
Andrew_A dvd with avi and jpg and more.23:51
Andrew_It worked without fail in the hours prior to installing ubuntu23:51
Andrew_While running on windows.23:51
Azelphurah, I see23:51
Andrew_I ran a series of terminal commands ealier regarding codecs, as recommending by ubuntu forums, with no change.23:52
Azelphurcodecs? that shouldn't solve anything if it's not got a medium in the drive according to mount23:53
AzelphurxD23:53
Andrew_I have no more ideas for search paramaters to find the solution.23:54
AzelphurAndrew_: me eiither, might be worth asking again tomorrow at a more sane hour23:54
Azelphurmore people will about then to help :)23:55
Andrew_I fear that linux may be beyond my skills, and will consider returning to windows.23:55
Andrew_Thank you for you help.23:55
AzelphurAndrew_: if you're a windows power user, tbh it's usually better to at least dual boot to start with.23:55
daftykinsdoes your system have two drives?23:55
Andrew_No.23:55
Azelphurit's hard switching from Windows to Linux :)23:55
Andrew_The only problem I am having is with this disc drive.23:55
daftykinsAndrew_: would you mind running "dmesg | pastebinit" ?23:56
daftykinslooks like Azelphur took you the logical route anyway, but just curious23:56
Azelphurdaftykins: ah yea good catch, I asked for dmesg earlier but forgot to push for it :P23:57
daftykins^_^23:57
Andrew_I have run the command, but the lengt is long, and I cannot copy it entirely.23:57
daftykinsAndrew_: you need to type exactly "dmesg | pastebinit"23:58
AzelphurAndrew_: do what daftykins said, it automatically puts it on pastebin and gives you the URL23:58
daftykinsit will then only return ^23:58
Andrew_I have to install pastebin first23:59
Azelphursudo apt-get install pastebinit23:59
Andrew_http://paste.ubuntu.com/8084100/23:59
Andrew_correct?23:59
