[00:18] kuldud, I did not say I would know, just that you have to state then issue. ;) [00:18] kuldud, And have some patience this is free help. ;) [00:18] ok [00:19] kuldud: for the hardware, I do not know. If your server supports four hdd sata3s, then yes. As well, the services you wish to run are possible as well. Will Ubuntu run on a HP D1380 Q5 server, most likely, but I do not knwo forusre. [00:20] r/forusre/for sure/ [00:22] Any ideas where i can check if ubuntu is compatible on a computer [00:22] The computer's specifications? [00:23] kuldud: unfortantly, the only sure was would be to install it, running it via Live CD is usually fine. But you can get all the hardware information and search the wiki. === Zakamiro_ is now known as Zakamiro [00:23] kuldud, I know that Lenovo has a page where it list Linux compatibility of their product [00:23] maybe other brand has this too [00:24] kuldud: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/200810-1117/ <-- I think it would work. [00:24] I havent bought the computer yet. Before I invest this computer is about 7 years old and im not sure it would work. [00:24] kuldud: Your server is listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesServersHp --- It does say it is supposed as off Ubuntu 4.10 [00:24] ok thank you guys [00:25] why cant i use Eric?

Been on this for over 30 minutes and cannot figure it out. Getting this in error log: (111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi": connect() failed - that file doesn't exist. Should it?

I installed aglfn and now dist-upgrade looks fixed. Thanks. [00:58] Guma, You might try ##linux if you are registered with freenode, not really a ubuntu support issue per-say, and seems rather a small use community probably. [01:01] jorge, man apparmor or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [01:01] that community help page doesn't help Beldar [01:02] jorge, So? === edsoncanto is now known as ecanto [01:02] if you need your hand held youmay wait awhile === k is now known as Guest13471 === Guest13471 is now known as stonner [01:03] All you need is there or in links [01:03] as well the man apparmor [01:04] aa-genprof doesn't work [01:04] I botched my installation by deleting /home/ as root. I torrented a 14.04 iso and checked the md5. I used dd to change 2 pendrives I just bought today and when I reboot, the bios says "isolinux.bin is corrupt or missing" I've google, read the wiki, and no luck. [01:04] sadhash, deleting home is fine [01:04] Any ideas welcome. Oh, the problem with deleting /home/ is that I can't lgin [01:05] sadhash, try with no password [01:05] You say that drew but logging into my account, the desktop doesn't load. Password is accepted [01:05] No pw? Okay [01:05] Note, I know this isn't the right chanel but I was trying xubuntu [01:06] I'll try now tho [01:06] heathen! [01:06] heretic!

[01:07] sadhash, You get in but no desktop right? [01:07] does anyone know if the 12.04 ubuntu release has a built in system restore? or is it all third party backup programs? [01:08] I can take pictures [01:08] But it accepts my root password [01:08] carbon_, What is your definition of restore? [01:08] Then nothing. X doesn't start [01:08] carbon_: the media you used to install with is the same as any system restore [01:08] sadhash, root password? [01:08] restoring to an earlier state of the system before an attempted os upgrade [01:08] carbon_, No ubuntu has that. [01:08] that is windows [01:08] Belmar, I use the same login and password as I had before, the same pw I use for root. [01:09] i thought as much [01:09] what's the equivalent for "aptitude search -F ..." without aptitude? [01:09] i'm grasping at straws [01:09] Beldar ** [01:09] sadhash, the user password, not root password, there is no root password. [01:09] Oh.. For su? [01:09] my relatives computer failed an os upgrade and i don't have much experience with the ubuntu platform [01:10] !root | sadhash this explains it, it is a word syntax issue here. [01:10] sadhash this explains it, it is a word syntax issue here.: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:10] I replaced 'aptitude' in a script with 'apt-get' or 'apt-cache', both don't work: "Command line option 'F' [from -F] is not known." [01:10] I didn't know that sorry I'm a recent convert. I can manage most of these ubuntu utilities now but half of what I'm doing is luck [01:10] q loucura!!

[01:12] Beldar, I want to show you what happens. Want me to link pics here? [01:12] guess i'll try talking to my grandpa again and see if I can figure out the issue he's having [01:12] sadhash, I doubt I can really help on this. [01:12] Trying to set up php5-fpm.

[01:21] I get to the login screen, type my password and it accepts it then blank [01:21] Just a grey screen. [01:21] sadhash: black screen? [01:21] gray [01:21] Not black [01:21] sadhash: no cursor?

[01:42] No. I'm. Kernel boot command is located where? [01:42] I installed 14.04 desktop and only one out of four monotors is detected. I have two dual head nvidia cards. Any one know how to fix this. It used to work under 12.04 === badon_ is now known as badon [01:43] raleigh: are you sure you want to be running nginx as an admin [01:43] how to log into ##channels, please ? [01:43] nectarys: forward slash then channel name [01:43] nectarys: rather /join #channelname [01:43] wafflejock, well i would be ok doing it not as admin if i could use port 80 that way [01:44] wafflejock, I'm trying to /join ##channelname, with two '#' but it wouldn't work [01:44] sadhash: /boot/grub probably, but you may be able to temprarily edit the boot code from the xubuntu screen you get before the os is really started [01:44] raleigh: yeah I think you use the service app to start and stop nginx as sudo but typically with apache (start and stop the service the same way) it runs as a different user so you can restrict privileges of the server [01:44] wafflejock, I can join it, but I cannot post into it [01:44] sadhash: im not familiar with how exactly xubuntu is, but when you power on the computer, do you get a menu? [01:45] wafflejock, I think that I need to log into [01:45] nectarys: yeah some of the IRC chats require that you're logged in and have a registered nick [01:45] sadhash: a menu with alternatives (F1 for help, ...F4 for modes etc.)? [01:45] wafflejock, how to deal with that, please ? [01:45] nectarys: typically there are some instructions in the chat when you try to join explaining how to register, but I'm no IRC expert [01:46] Norman, OK, US: Fair, 88ºF Humidity: 40% Visibility: 6 mi Pressure: 29.88 in Wind: North-northeast @ 10 mph [01:46] I can get grub open [01:46] nectarys /msg Nickserv help register [01:46] wafflejock, okay thank you [01:46] But yes [01:46] "hello" [01:47] http://www.oliverio.eti.br/ [01:48] raleigh: this may help https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts [01:48] Anarkhos: I'm going to run one of the scanning utilities from recovery mode, then I'll come back [01:48] sadhash: " I can get grub open" - you're able to edit the boot command before xubuntu is loaded? [01:49] ok [01:49] I should be able to but I'm not very familiar with vi [01:49] It's offering to run fsck so I'm letting that go [01:50] Guma: have you checked the display settings also you may want to check what graphics card and drivers are installed with, lspci -k === kk is now known as stonner [01:50] sadhash: nano I think has a simpler learning curve since there's no modes it's more like a regular notepad app [01:50] wafflejock, well i'm using openresty not stock nginx [01:50] Okay I will try nano [01:50] gedit even more so [01:50] sadhash: the commands in nano are shown on the bottom of the screen, Ctrl+O to write it out and Ctrl+X to close [01:51] Oh nice [01:51] wafflejock, so there isn't an init.d script for nginx [01:51] raleigh: hmm not familiar with that [01:51] yeah it's apparently kind of obscrure [01:52] raleigh: just a test local server right? [01:52] raleigh: It's just a bundle of most of the 3rd party modules and nginx. It IS nginx, but just with everything compiled in. [01:52] raleigh: if it's a production/live server I would be more cautious for sure about running the server as root/admin === jhovrnitklpayfgl is now known as ynicgrtqizmpbqau === ynicgrtqizmpbqau is now known as sepero [01:53] raleigh: Also, unless you need all of those modules and are expecting 10,000+ connections, I would stick with nginx. [01:54] i need those modules [01:54] and i need admin to be on port 80 [01:54] correct? [01:54] i have it working on 8080 [01:54] how is ubuntu on a laptop and does it get good batery life ? [01:55] jcbjoe: I have good luck with them on Lenovo [01:55] it seemed good on a laptop earlier tonight, but i didn't test it for very long [01:55] Better if you don't use chrome [01:55] I will tell you later tonight. If I can get a laptop without uefi [01:55] mguy: how much battery time ? [01:55] sadhash: yea lol [01:55] raleigh: shouldn't need admin to use port 80 apache runs as the www-data user and binds to 80 [01:55] jcbjoe: 4-5 hours but my battery isn't the extended one [01:55] sadhash: most are windows 8 now days [01:56] wafflejock: what should I look for and how can I change it [01:56] Guma: I'm running Ubuntu Gnome so I can't guide you directly but wondering what you see when you check out the display settings, does it show you just the one monitor? [01:56] You can disable the uefi sadhash, it's what I did on my work laptop and I have it running 8 and 14.04 [01:56] windows 8 that is [01:56] wafflejock: yes [01:57] Oh [01:57] Guma: if you use the lspci -k command in the command line look for VGA to see your graphics card info [01:57] I am running unity. Jsut default install [01:57] JWommack: battery time ? [01:57] But I did install NVidia prop drivers from panel [01:57] Jwommack: thanks. [01:57] Guma: k that helps to know, hit the dash/winkey button and type terminal, then lspci -k [01:57] Battery time isn't bad, the biggest thing that changes battery time though is what you're using and that's the case in either OS [01:57] Guma: that'll list all your main hardware components with the kernel driver that's loaded for it [01:57] do you guys write programs in ubuntu [01:57] drewjo: I do web dev === K9 is now known as Guest94415 [01:58] drewjo: occasionally I poke at some of the source of built in stuff [01:58] ok [01:58] Chrome, for example, currently has a bug that eats through batter life, which is a pain since it's the best to develop frontends in [01:58] drewjo: would like to start contributing back eventually [01:58] turns out Gnome themes use CSS [01:58] cool [01:58] so I can easily jump in there but they are already pretty nice IMO :) [01:59] wafflejock: Ok I did grep for nvidia and I see two cards [01:59] GForce GT 610 [02:00] Guma: okay so there is the option of open source drivers and closed source drivers with NVidia stuff, generally it's recommended to stick with the open source stuff since you get updated automatically and it's tested by repo maintainers but we should see what you have now and go from there [02:00] Guma: can you actuall pastebin the output of the lcpci command? [02:01] jcbjoe: this isn't really as dependent on the OS as it is the hardware you have [02:01] jcbjoe: backlights eat a lot of power and depends on your CPU [02:01] wafflejock: yes. One sec === sl1nky is now known as oliverio [02:02] jcbjoe: lower speed CPUs tend to use less Watts too and so it really varies a lot based on what you're doing and what you have [02:02] Guys, I installed VMware tools on UBuntu..... How the hell do I open the control panel to use it? [02:02] jcbjoe: seems like on my laptop I get close to the same time or a little more in Ubuntu compared to Windows but like I said it's hard to say cause it depends on how you're using it [02:02] yo === timevirus is now known as TimeVIrus [02:03] Anyone know how to use VMware tools on Ubuntu? [02:03] wafflejock: pastebin.com/dJtsBXCR [02:03] jcbjoe: check out powertop if you're interested in what is taking power top [02:03] . [02:04] jcbjoe: powertop* [02:04] Guma: dual 610 SLI card? [02:04] Cordel, they do in #vmware [02:05] It is dual. But they are not connected. [02:05] Well I do not think so [02:05] Would that matter? [02:05] let me see if SLI is connected [02:05] wafflejock: By the way, Apache needs root privileges to be able to work on port 80, the main Apache process is run as root. [02:06] Guma: yeah for SLI they split the load of rendering the screen between the two cards but needs that bridge part to keep them in sync I think, not sure that it matters regarding the extra displays showing up though [02:06] wafflejock: nop. I do not think they support SLI. They are fanless and no SLI connected cable between them [02:06] I just opened the box [02:07] rypervenche: hmm strange I didn't know that, thought since the owner of www folder or execute bit privileges were related to the www-data user and the processes I noticed from apache were running as www-data that none of it was actually running as root [02:08] i think it's pretty normal to use sudo to run http servers? [02:08] wafflejock: The main apache process is run as root, its other processes are run as www-data though. But yeah. [02:08] if there is no init.d script [02:10] wafflejock: ever with powertop do you still get the same time ? cause i heard powertop disables things that are killing your battery === Tex_Nick is now known as Incognito_Covert [02:11] wafflejock: hey, r8168-dkms did the trick, no d/c's yet [02:11] \o/ [02:11] rypervenche: ah indeed interesting I just never noticed that other process running as root [02:11] uhhh: awesome glad to hear it [02:11] Can someone please tell me how to run VMWare tools in Ubuntu [02:12] !vmware [02:12] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories.

[02:36] Kostkon, Yes well i tried running it two ways, through the CLI and the GUI, StreamRipStar-0.6.8.jar, right click 'open with OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime' then i get : ERROR "It seems you don't have gstreamer installed.

[02:44] Anyone? [02:44] Neurome, something along the lines of sudo apt-get install package_name:i386 [02:44] Neurome, I'd suggest you install *all* the available multimedia codecs: sudo apt-get install #ubuntu [02:44] hey, does anyone have any experience with ubuntu and ufw?

[02:47] Neurome, hmm [02:47] Cordel: you install the virtual box drivers/extensions? [02:47] Neurome, I'd suggest getting all the available multimedia codecs. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras for good measure, install vlcplayer as well [02:47] no what is that? [02:48] sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-tools gstreamer-tools gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [02:48] Cordel, because the virtual gpu is not the native/physical gpu [02:48] from the official ppa [02:48] what Specifically do I need to download?

[02:51] Cordel: just reboot the virtual machine, in the video I shut it down and tweaked the settings to give it more video ram to work with too [02:52] cfhowlett: i've checked that out and the rule appears to be working but it just doesn't allow the connection [02:52] Neurome, what's the error yo uare getting now [02:52] i can't boot directly into any ubuntu kernel available in 14.04. I have to boot into an old kernel version, via the repair feature, then tell it to resume... [02:52] cfhowlett: could it be due to having multiple rules and conflicting? [02:53] ecksit, *NOT* an expert or especially knowledgeable but yes, check those rules for conflicts. Also, could you have a router block? [02:53] i didn't have that problem a week ago...although i've had problems with 14.04 kernels before [02:53] cfhowlett: don't think i have a router block as it previously worked.

[03:06] Neurome, never used it, but as I understand it, at some you extract your installed OS, i.e. no need to reinstall [03:06] Beldar: apparently 3.13 is already installed and is among the broken kernels :( [03:06] !mac | netlar [03:06] netlar: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [03:06] netlar, you could get a usb or live cd and boot off the live cd to do a test run on your mac book pro [03:06] bluefox83, Do you have a boot partition?

So this would be same problem? [03:09] ok virtual box no go for the last two hours 14.04 it will not let me install os in just keeps going back to install screen [03:09] bluefox83, Is you definition of broken is they don;t work or from the terminal?

[03:11] Beldar: what do you mean? [03:12] netlar, ~Por Nada~ !

For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [03:14] Beldar: ok...but any idea what the problem is? [03:14] bluefox83, This was an upgrade correct?

[03:18] talking to bot :) I must be drinking [03:18] Beldar: i get the same thing when trying to install from the usb drive [03:18] bluefox83: If you have access to a windows machine, theres a great tool called Rufus to make live USB media with [03:19] I know Ubuntu is a debian base, but just a copy of a copy of a copy, rather have the original [03:19] Dr_Kabuki: while i do have access...i'd really rather saw my own face off than use it [03:19] Lol [03:20] this has gotten waaaay out of hand honestly [03:20] it got bad, then it got to the point where i almost couldn't boot anything...i dunno what i should do now :/ [03:20] More troubleshooting, is the USB drive plugged into a 2.0 or 3.0 port? [03:20] i'm even considering i've tried both [03:20] er..lol [03:20] i've tried both 2.0 and 3.0 [03:21] same result [03:21] There's a bunch of things that can make this happen so I'm just running down the list [03:21] my laptop suspends every few minutes despite settings it to 'never'. any tips? [03:21] owen1, what ubuntu version? [03:22] Dr_Kabuki: i'm not really worried about the installer.

[03:24] bluefox83, I think this has to do with the uefi stuff and setups and nvidia drivers possibly, I would use the ubuntu forums as well, there are a few people there that are focused on thses dual boots, for example, this mod, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2132581 [03:24] Beldar: i'm using radeon >.> [03:25] bluefox83, sure that is just one outlier [03:25] Dr_Kabuki: it goes to a screen that says "loading inital ramdisk" and that's all [03:25] owen1, did you do any serious modifications to the system or is it basically vanilla? [03:25] it will sit there forever DL: [03:25] D: [03:26] bluefox83, you could try booting off some other version of linux on a boot disk, and if theres no issue it would have to be software, if the bootdisk (whatever distro) has a great deal of problems you'd know its a hardware issue *most probable* [03:27] Dr_Kabuki: vanilla, but i don't use unity. i chose 'i3' window manager in the session window. [03:28] Neurome: it was working a week ago just fine, then i did a system update and it lost my video settings (i use a tv hooked to my laptop sometimes) so i tried reinstalling the video drivers, but that just really broke it D: [03:28] Dr_Kabuki: btw, i don't know if it's called 'suspend'. the screen turns black. === Guest70769 is now known as devster [03:28] and i move the mouse a bit to bring it back. it takes a second. [03:29] bluefox83, when you say tv hooked to your laptop, do you mean dual display and how is it hooked up? hdmi ? [03:29] Neurome: hdmi, i just clone the laptop display [03:30] with the amd catalyst software [03:30] Dr_Kabuki: maybe it's related to dpms bug? https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2134/screen-turns-black/ [03:30] i had it set up so i could turn my laptop on, and it would boot straight to ubuntu login, i'd login and it would automatically clone the screen [03:30] If the screen just turns black, it likely isn't suspending [03:31] then i did a system update and it all turned to crap D: [03:31] Dr_Kabuki: i'll try running xset -dpms [03:31] bluefox83, id safe the safest and surest thing to do is make backups of all the valuable digital data on your computer, and do a clean install [03:31] Neurome: can't. the installer doesn't work :/ [03:31] i had to do an upgrade from 13.10 [03:32] cause you never know what kinda software, permission conflict , there could be [03:32] I AM HERE TO PISS YOU OFF [03:32] installer not working ?

But you will need to calculate the wake up time in minutes (and seconds) [04:39] kostkon, what would the rtc wake be for just midnight to 6 am === badon__ is now known as badon [04:39] Basketball, and the alarms will run once [04:39] kostkon, yes one time [04:40] kostkon, i will use cron tab for everyday and the starttime [04:41] Basketball, you can use cron to setup a new alarm every day yes [04:41] Basketball, then the alrm will go off, then when the pc wakes up cron will setup a new one for the next day etc etc [04:41] kostkon, so what is the rtcwake for suspend until 6 am [04:42] Basketball, i/m guessing you can pull it off with a bit of an effort [04:42] Basketball, there's the -s option that says "Sets the wakeup time to seconds in future from now."

I recently wiped out the install and installed Ubuntu 14.something, which comes with Unity (i guess?). Now video in firefox has video tearing and isn't quite as smooth. Nothing else has changed. I'm also surprised how few settings I can find in this new Ubuntu. I used to be able to access proprietary video drivers (don't see any option to even see what driver I'm === sins-_h is now known as sins- [07:31] senn558: go to software & updates -> Additional drivers [07:32] yeah, i did. it says there's nothing available [07:33] then you are using the default drivers which should be fine. How old is your pc? [07:33] also says no proprietary drivers are in use, which i find odd. because i swore i previously had a proprietary driver installed for my gtx580ti [07:33] in fact, i remember having to install a proprietary driver before in order to get advanced desktop environment things to work like the rotating cube [07:34] but that stuff doesnt even seem to exist anymore [07:35] senn558: maybe the driver got moved into the kernel? In that case you don't have to install it by hand [07:36] hmmm...maybe. so why is the video performance sub par now? [07:38] could be because unity requires more video memory, or because of something weird with flash/firefox. [07:39] senn558, sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras = multimedia codecs [07:41] Hello, everybody, I downloaded the mini.iso 64-bit ubuntu and it seemed strange at first that the primary disc (/dev/sda) was seen as (/dev/sdd) [07:41] This wasn't a problem until grub2 install which always tries to install it on /dev/sda [07:41] fkbm, you can choose the grub installation location [07:42] My question is: Can I instruct the installer (without restarting all the installation) that I want /dev/sdd for the location of GRUB? [07:42] cfhowlett: Thank you, millions!!! How do I do it though? :) [07:42] fkbm, yes. reinstall grub [07:42] !grub [07:42] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:43] fkbm: you cant choose, you have to manually install grub to /dev/sdd [07:43] Hmm, but I'm in the installation environment (USB stick) and I'm at the menu where I can choose reinstall, but it still tries /dev/sda [07:43] Oh. [07:43] OK. [07:43] I'll look at that link, then. [07:44] cfhowlett: I get "Invalid operation ubuntu-restricted-extras" [07:44] senn558, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:45] senn558, sorry, I left out an essential command by acccident [07:46] its doing stuff now [07:49] fkbm: it might be easier to let it install grub to the usb, boot into the harddrive with the usb as bootdevice, and hten grub-install onto your main hard drive [07:49] instead of chrooting about after the installation has completed [07:50] trijntje: I find it a bit difficult because all the links on google point to a grub-install like a rescue disk. I may just let it not install the grub and just reenter with a rescue disk to set the correct grub. [07:52] All I have on the mini.iso is the grub-installer (notice the 'er') So I'm going to take your advice. === wipi is now known as winb [07:54] fkbm, You can use supergrub to boot it if needed and install grub to the mbr you want from the desktop. [07:57] senn558, fixed? [07:57] dunno yet...dealing with another problem that emerged after restart [07:58] if i run two cron jobs with @hourly, do they get executed at the same time? or does job B wait for job A to finish? job A is listed before job B in the crontab [07:59] senn558, I looked on the web, on this driver and see numerous ways of going about tweaking it, you may just need to do some research. [08:00] err on this card that is [08:09] Beldar: one of the issues im having with this new ubuntu is there seems to be a major lack of options to configure things. i cant even find the driver under the settings. a lot of stuff i can't find anymore. [08:10] its so minimal, its like the tried to clone apple's style [08:11] senn558, If you want gui's nvidia has some I believe, it is configs you will have to mess with, that is one of the good, bad and ugly of linux. [08:11] senn558: Which "driver"? What exactly do you want to do, using which Ubuntu release exactly? [08:12] 12.04 and 14.04 are hardly different, you just have to be more experienced in knowing what to do. [08:13] i dunno...i didnt spend much time with 12 or 14. 9 was the version i used to use a lot. it had so many options to configure things. i'd say 80% of that is gone in the gui now. [08:14] senn558: So you dont know what you are trying to do? [08:14] senn558, This is not gnome 2, but a different desktop you are not familiar with. [08:14] yeah. i guess i miss gnome. [08:14] its cool...no biggie [08:15] senn558, I would allow bekks to look through your issue however. [08:16] its fine. dont think i want to mess with it anymore. ill probably just cause more problems. [08:16] "it"? [08:20] nm [08:21] modprobe fglrx says that the driver cannot be found and ubuntu-drivers autoinstall doesn't install fglrx. Support that, please. [08:22] If ubuntu-drivers autoinstall would have been a well written program, it would have checked for such basic conditions and then give some useful message as to what to with this mess. [08:22] marvin-hh: Thats mostly because fglrx does not support your particular hardware. [08:22] marvin-hh: Did you consider that possibility? [08:23] bekks: yes, but it does support my particular hardware. [08:23] Hi [08:23] What window manager does Ubuntu use? [08:23] compiz [08:23] bekks: in fact, in a previous run it does list fglrx and fglrx-updates as potential drivers. [08:23] marvin-hh: So you can install fglrx manually? [08:24] bekks: I am now purging it and reinstalling. [08:24] bekks: but that's kind of the whole point of ubuntu-driver autoinstall, IMHO. [08:24] bekks: i.e., that I shouldn't have to think about this stuff. [08:24] bekks: ubuntu-drivers is just a broken program and should be fixed. [08:25] bekks: I don't understand why Ubuntu distributes such bad programs. [08:25] WHat's the name of official openbox channel? [08:25] marvin-hh, Whay are you usinglinux? [08:25] Gatis: #openbox? ;) [08:26] Wizard: it's not [08:26] Gatis: They can have channel on different network. [08:27] Beldar: Ubuntu Linux specifically because of legacy. [08:27] marvin-hh, Legacy of what? [08:27] Beldar: Linux because the kernel itself is not that bad. [08:27] Hmm, I thought openbox development is essentially dead? [08:27] marvin-hh: ----> not making sense [08:28] eeee: to you. [08:28] ok [08:28] Wizard: dead? [08:28] to all of us [08:28] why do you go hunting ? the guns have a nice design [08:28] ok.... [08:28] marvin-hh: If you're upset at proprietary driver issues, the correct target of your irritation should be the hardware manufacturer that does not support fully open drivers [08:29] TJ-++ [08:29] If I remove a particular package, I get another package installed?! [08:29] marvin-hh: Thats called "dependencies". [08:29] How do I tell to the machine to really remove it? [08:29] I know better than the system what I want to do. [08:29] Gatis, irc://irc.oftc.net/#openbox [08:30] hi people [08:30] Gatis: http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Community_portal [08:30] It's the first time that I have a deletion operation result in an installation operation. [08:30] They have a channelo on OTFC. [08:30] marvin-hh: Please be specific - which packages? [08:30] TJ-: fglrx and fglrx-updates [08:30] marvin-hh: Remove what exactly? And in all cases I've seen in the last 20 years, the system did know it better than the user. The system organizes the dependencies between 31000+ packages, because it knows it better than the user. [08:30] Gatis: I didn't even needed to use Google to find it ;/ [08:31] TJ-: apt-get remove --purge fglrx results in installing fglrx-updates [08:31] marvin-hh: Which package are you trying to remove, and which package is trying to be installed ? [08:31] i can no watch movies in internet that require flash-player, even that I have it installed [08:31] TJ-: see above. [08:31] so, what is the matter? [08:31] marvin-hh: thanks, now we can figure it out :) [08:31] user3: Which browser? [08:31] user3, What browser? [08:32] fire fox [08:32] TJ-: I would be OK with aptitude doing this kind of stuff, but apt-get remove should, IMHO, only remove stuff. [08:32] and google [08:32] user3: in ff, about:plugins [08:32] user3: Check if flash is on the list. [08:32] how to do it? [08:32] I've just told you. [08:32] sorry about my ignorance [08:32] :D [08:32] user3, You can use the pepper flash in FF, maybe just try chome. [08:33] chrome* [08:33] marvin-hh: apt-get remove will install packages for meeting dependencies if the remove operation would cause the breakage of dependencies otherwise. [08:33] bekks: that's not what the documentation says. [08:33] marvin-hh: Thats exactly what the documentation says. [08:33] how to chang to ff? [08:33] bekks: as such, there is a bug in the program until this is corrected. [08:33] bekks: I just read the instructions for the remove command. [08:34] Hello. Question: If I install Ubuntu on UEFI mode (encrypted with LUKS/LVM). Do I need only an unencrypted EFI-partition or do I need an unencrypted EFI-partition and /boot-partition? [08:34] marvin-hh: Which is not enough for understanding the package management system. [08:34] bekks: it might be that this is located in some illogical location too, but that would be a writing error. [08:34] bekks: I now read the whole prefix up to the remove command. [08:35] bekks: and it tells me that the current program behaviour is just wrong. [08:35] marvin-hh: Which is still not enough for understanding the package manager and the handling of dependencies. [08:35] bekks: the manpage is supposed to document what a program does. [08:35] bekks: if it doesn't you didn't comprehend Unix. [08:35] bekks: you being whoever wrote apt-get. [08:35] marvin-hh: And the man page consists of far more than just the remove section. [08:36] bekks: yes, and I read everything before that too. [08:36] bekks: how about you tell me where it is allowed for apt-get to do this? [08:36] marvin-hh: So please dont get personal on people you dont know unless you did not understand how the package management system works. [08:36] is there no "Master" Volume in pulse audio ?? [08:36] marvin-hh: The only package in the fglrx or fglrx-updates packages reverse-dependencies to cause one or the other to be installed is "xvba-va-driver" - is that also installed? [08:36] bekks: I provided proof as to why it is reasonable to expect that it doesn't do this. [08:37] marvin-hh: I already told you why apt-get replaces dependencies for fulfilling dependemcies. [08:37] bekks: you have not provided a shred of evidence for your point. [08:37] in cheome the same thing [08:37] bekks: you only said stuff without references to the manpage. [08:37] bekks: and that means, I am sorry, nothing. [08:37] marvin-hh: You did not prove anything until now, expect wild assumptions how a package manager should work regardless of that would break the package management system. [08:38] L4DD2: EFI SP must be unencrypted, but you can encrypt /boot/ if you use "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" in "/etc/default/grub" [08:38] marvin-hh: So I am resting your case, since it seems - to me - that your whole point is just ranting. [08:38] marvin-hh: read man apt-get [08:38] bekks: I am very happy that you are trying to help me, but I did indicate that in the remove section it doesn't say anything about installing packages. [08:38] the "-f" section [08:38] If packages are [08:38] specified, these have to completely correct the problem. The option [08:38] is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT [08:38] itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a [08:38] system. [08:39] eeee: the -f section should be unrelated, since I am not giving that option. [08:39] they aren't going to explain the whole function of a program in a section of an option marvin-hh [08:39] bekks: all I have asked for is a reference to a line of text from that man page. [08:40] bekks: you have not been able to provide that. [08:40] TJ-: To boot the system you need kernel image and initramfs. Is that possible if /boot is encrypted? For understanding... [08:40] Im using OpenBox [08:40] marvin-hh: I am resting your case for the reasons above. [08:40] But some stuff doesnt work [08:40] marvin-hh: Please answer the constructive questions instead of ranting - is the package "xvba-va-driver" installed? [08:40] TJ-: this is not ranting. [08:40] L4DD2: EFI SP must be unencrypted, >>>> but you can encrypt /boot/ if you use "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" in "/etc/default/grub" <<<< [08:40] TJ-: I cannot use a system which doesn't do what its documentation says. [08:40] TJ-: I don't like to guess. [08:40] TJ-: I don't like to come here and ask questions. [08:41] TJ-: so, if you can tell me why I am wrong, just show me. [08:41] TJ-: Thank you [08:41] Help [08:41] TJ-: and just saying things without a reference does not count. [08:41] me [08:41] OBBB [08:41] TJ-: these are the basics of system development. [08:41] The only way out for Ubuntu I see is opening a bug for this problem. [08:41] Gatis: would be good if you told us what didnt work... [08:42] I have some problems with OpenBox.. Help me [08:42] The documentation is wrong or the program is. [08:42] cynicallemon: i have problems with keyboard layout. don't know how to change it [08:42] TJ-: do you find this position unreasonable? If so, please explain why. [08:42] marvin-hh: or the user, lets be thorough here [08:42] eeee: you have not provided any evidence for that. [08:43] eeee: so, let's not consider that until you do. [08:43] help m === xubuntu is now known as Guest14399 [08:45] marvin-hh: i just thought of something, you know how they say on a poker table if you cant spot the fish, you're it? well if you cant spot the troll... [08:45] lol [08:45] O [08:45] HERE OH [08:45] here me oh people [08:46] trijntje: I ended up writing the normal ubuntu server to the usb which identifies the HDD as /dev/sda [08:46] marvin-hh: I have logs going back a long time, and in every one you consistently rant and argue. You've spent 71 lines today so far when 5 would be more than sufficient for constructive support from volunteers here. I'm not prepared to help you in these circumstances. [08:46] eeee: ok, so because you are not able to answer a perfectly well defined question, I am the troll? [08:46] eeee: I consider you a troll, because you waste my time. [08:46] Okay? [08:46] marvin-hh: you're ranting, and making no sense [08:46] marvin-hh: we already gave you evidence [08:47] TJ-: and why do you think I argue? [08:47] marvin-hh: "Ubuntu" will not open a bug on user request, it is up to you to open up the bug if you consider it to be a bug. [08:47] TJ-: perhaps because you people tell me I am wrong without backing it up? [08:47] Gatis: take a look here, https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard [08:47] TJ-: you cannot just tell me I am wrong and expect that to be the end of it. [08:48] marvin-hh, As a regular here, you have alienated some of the best help here, you are on your own now. ;) [08:49] marvin-hh: you are complaining about a program's functioning, and i think you can agree it is reasonable to function that way given it will help a user not break his system, also your claim that it is undocumented is false [08:49] so what's you problem? [08:49] TJ-: I consider your behaviour to be nothing more but fleeing behaviour; the question is apparently too complex for you, so your brains make up some stupid excuse. [08:50] eeee: you still have not provided any evidence. [08:50] eeee: do you even know what the word means? [08:50] marvin-hh: man apt-get > -f section [08:50] eeee: the -f section should not be relevant to the remove command. [08:50] eeee: since I am not giving the -f option. [08:51] eeee: if remove is influenced by the -f option, that should be mentioned in the remove section too. [08:51] HEY FUCKHEASD [08:51] FUCK FUCK FUCK HEADS [08:51] marvin-hh: they expect you to read it all, they actually have notes at the bottom [08:51] ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็ [08:52] ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็ [08:52] ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ ็็็็๠[08:52] eeee: and in fact, it's completely unrelated.

[08:54] so* [08:54] eeee: I will tell you; you don't actually have one. [08:55] Wasn't this supposed to be a support channel? [08:56] Nobody has said *anything* remotely useful. [08:56] You are getting personal towards people and expect support. Rethink you attitude. [08:57] bekks: you don't get support here using any attitude. [08:58] bekks: you should tell everyone who is not providing actual support to remain silent. [08:58] bekks: marvin-hh can you take your argument elsewhere please. [08:58] popey: I am not interested in any argument. [08:59] popey: I want an answer. [08:59] popey: and that's completely on-topic. [08:59] marvin-hh: what is your question exactly? [08:59] you've been arguing for the last 20 mins [08:59] trijntje: you don't have a scrollback? [08:59] is your question still "why does removing one package install another?" essentially? [09:00] marvin-hh: sure, i could scroll back 30 minutes through this channel to find out, or you could just ask it again [09:01] marvin-hh: you are basically saying they should call this program apt-get-[or-remove] ? or put a thorough explanation of the program's functioning in the remove section ? [09:01] trijntje, popey: based on what documentation is apt-get remove package allowed to install anything? [09:01] marvin-hh: Can you provide an example of it doing so? [09:01] marvin-hh: to fulfil other dependencies [09:01] popey: can you please answer the question? [09:01] if you type "aptitude why " for the newly installed package, it will tell you why it was installed [09:02] popey: not the question you think I asked; the actual question. [09:02] Flannel: fglrx and fglrx-updates. [09:02] i did [09:02] If I recall sometimes things need a certain "type" of app, like a screensaver app for example. If you remove gnome-screensaver when you have pidgin-awayonlock, it wants to install another screensaver package. I have seen that. [09:02] you dont like the answer I gave, fair enough. [09:02] popey: trust me; you did not. [09:02] popey: no, it's not that I didn't like the answer; it's just wrong. [09:02] marvin-hh: Can you please pastebin the terminal session where this happened? You provided two package names, you didn't explain what was being removed/installed/etc. [09:03] Flannel: apt-get remove fglrx --purge wanted to install fglrx-updates [09:03] marvin-hh: installing foo pulls in bar or baz. If you installed foo and bar, then baz may not be installed. However if you remove bar, baz _may_ be installed to fulfill the dependency of foo [09:03] Flannel: there is no more information to be shared. [09:03] Flannel: and since I am now not in an X session pasting is difficult. [09:03] marvin-hh: which release is this? [09:03] marvin-hh: So, no you can't provide the session log? or no you're not willing to help us help you? [09:04] Flannel: you are just stalling here. [09:04] Flannel: I provided *all* relevant information. [09:04] marvin-hh: No, you're just making it less likely anyone is going to answer you. [09:04] Flannel: the output is just the standard output. [09:04] Flannel: it lists what it is going to remove and what it is going to install with a Y/n [09:04] marvin-hh: pastebinit , apt-get | pastebinit [09:05] I just said it. Sometimes things need a certain "type" of application. I have seen this happen. It is intended, and harmless. [09:05] marvin-hh: right, so run "aptitude why fglrx-updates" and it will tell you _why_ it wants to install it (once installed) [09:05] I am not going to paste this. This is just one of your tactics. [09:05] Oh for crying out loud. [09:05] marvin-hh: thats not how support works around here. [09:05] popey: aptitude is unrelated to apt-get. [09:05] popey: please try again. [09:05] marvin-hh: no, its not [09:05] popey: yes, it is. [09:05] popey: and it doesn't answer my question. [09:05] marvin-hh: "why" is a feature of aptitude that apt-get doesn't have, hence me suggesting you use it [09:06] hahaha, yeah, thats one of our sneaky tactics to ......, and then profit! [09:06] popey: the question is about *documented behaviour*. [09:06] marvin-hh: the other option is you dig in files in /var/ which is unpleasant [09:06] popey: it's not about what tools happen to do. [09:06] hello can anyone tell me what that means and how to fix it please?

[09:06] marvin-hh: it is the basic function of apt-get to resolve dependencies [09:06] marvin-hh: It may not be accurate to say that they are un-related, but best to use apt-get [09:06] marvin seems to be getting paranoid...

[09:06] this comes after install [09:06] popey: I care about why it is allowed to do it. [09:06] marvin-hh: you do, you asked why does it do it [09:07] popey: NO [09:07] when i press enter on install [09:07] marvin-hh: and I'#m telling you how to find out [09:07] popey: I did not ask that.

[09:07] marvin-hh: this might help, --no-remove [09:07] If any packages are to be removed apt-get immediately aborts [09:07] without prompting. [09:07] marvin-hh: I dont need to [09:08] marvin-hh: try adding that, or alias apt-get='apt-get --noremove' [09:08] marvin-hh: i know how aptitude and apt work, and I have told you twice why [09:08] HIs OpenBox dead?

[09:08] theperfectpunk: The kernel was unable to mount the root initrd by the look of the stacktrace [09:08] popey: why can't you comprehend this? [09:08] marvin-hh: i can [09:09] Gatis: openbox is quite alive, if you want a ready to version of openbox then try crunchbang linux [09:09] popey: then why are you answering as if you don't? [09:09] marvin-hh: I refuse to get sucked into a ridiculous argument about documentation [09:09] hello can anyone tell me what that means and how to fix it please? http://pastebin.com/CFR6S6vC [09:09] popey: it's not an argument; it's just that I am right and you don't want to admit it. [09:09] "Why is this happening", "this is why" "NO, ANSWER ME DIFFERENTLY!" [09:09] is ridiculous [09:09] popey: I never asked why it is happening. [09:09] 10:06:55 < marvin-hh> popey: I care about why it is allowed to do it. [09:10] yes, yes you did [09:10] user-pc what's the outcome of: cat /etc/issue [09:10] TJ-: i've installed ubuntu and gnome ubuntu before [09:10] that went well [09:10] popey: yes, I asked that. That's still about documentation. [09:10] I've got an ignore set, but it's pretty obvious this is classic passive-aggressive behaviour - best recourse is to stop feeding it. [09:10] popey, marvin-hh: Please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere, so we can keep this channel clear for actual technical support, thanks. [09:10] Linux Mint 17 Qiana \n \l [09:10] Flannel: this is about technical support. [09:10] user-pc mint is not supported here [09:10] TJ-: any suggestions? [09:10] theperfectpunk: Does the install use a separate /boot/ partition? [09:10] should i try cd? [09:11] Flannel: in this case, about why the program named apt-get doesn't work according to its documentation. [09:11] marvin-hh: "about" is not technical support. Please take it elsewhere, thanks. [09:11] ok how to go where i suppose to be please ? [09:11] Hey [09:11] !mint [09:11] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:11] TJ-: i haven't specified the parameters [09:11] What Window manager do you people suggest for slow PC? [09:11] Flannel: documentation of a specific core tool is on-topic. [09:11] marvin-hh: What is your problem? (Maybe I can help.) [09:11] Gatis lxde or xfce, or openbox or fluxbox [09:11] you cant, because he doesn't want help [09:11] marvin-hh: Yes, but if you refuse to provide any real information, you are not interested in obtaining support, therefore, it's offtopic. [09:11] usr13: can you read a question? (Nobody else before was able to do that) [09:11] yes but i have no idea how to go there i use first time [09:12] marvin-hh: Never mind. [09:12] Gatis: using the command line is pretty fast as a file manager [09:12] usr13: disappointing. [09:12] theperfectpunk: This kind of kernel panic usually occurs because the initrd.img (initial RAM disk image) wasn't correctly built, and that usually happens due to an out-of-disk-space issue, which usually happens due to the /boot/ file-system becoming full. It is also possible that the building of the initrd.img failed for some other reason during installation. [09:12] Flannel: I provided all the real information. [09:12] #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:13] Flannel: in fact, you should be able to see these reverse dependencies somewhere yourself too. [09:13] Is marvin-hh 32bit or 64bit? [09:13] marvin-hh: you can, rdepends. [09:13] how to go to mint 17 channel please? anyone [09:13] cynicallemon: is there any window manager like openbox which is under active development? Simple and clean. [09:13] Flannel: heck, you can even assume that there are such reverse dependencies. [09:14] user-pc: it is on a completely separate network [09:14] user-pc: there is no mint channel on this server [09:14] user-pc go to the linuxmint website, click Community > Cummunty > Chatroom [09:14] user-pc: You need to connect to irc.spotchat.org (a different network), then join #linuxmint-help [09:14] Flannel: the details of which are *irrelevant* to my question. [09:14] Flannel: however, you apparently fail to comprehend that or you are just trolling. [09:14] Why Linux Mint is not on this network? [09:14] user-pc: type /server irc.spotchat.org [09:14] Gatis: ask them. [09:14] marvin-hh: The details are a sanity check that people are all on the same page. This is 100% normal operation for almost every support interface. [09:14] user-pc: then type /join #linuxmint-help [09:14] !coffee [09:14] LinuxMint don't like Freenode? [09:14] Flannel: you are just making excuses. [09:14] TJ-: i used the usual Universal USB Installer to create bootable usb [09:14] Gatis: BEcause they decided to use another network for creating their support channel. [09:15] ? [09:15] Gatis: ask them, not us. [09:15] bekks: that's doesn't tell anything [09:15] popey: ok [09:15] ill go ask :) [09:15] TJ-: the only thing that is different this time is that i'm using cruzer blade [09:15] Gatis: Yeah, because no one besides them knows ;) [09:15] which shows itself as fixed drive [09:15] instead of removable [09:15] problems with caffeine?

[09:25] Gatis: Do u have any recomendation for caffeine? [09:27] TJ-: i have an iso image on Disk 0, with which i created a bootable usb flash drive Disk 3 using Universal USB Installer to install xUbuntu on Disk 1 [09:27] maverick_: yes [09:27] marvin-hh: i dont want to start anything here, but please read man apt-get you will find everything you wanted in the install section, remove section states it is identical to install, except it removes, there is the feature that you want too in the install section, last couple sentences of the first paragraph These latter features may be used to override decisions made by apt-get's conflict resolution system.

[09:27] maverick_: too much coffeine is bad for health [09:27] Flannel: i was being constructive only [09:28] theperfectpunk1: Thanks :) And so the installer completed and you get this panic when the freshly built installation on Disk 1 tries to start?

[09:29] theperfectpunk1: Oh! that means the image is damaged [09:29] TJ-: but i downloaded from xubuntu wiki [09:29] theperfectpunk1: First thing to check is that the cryptogaphic hash of the ISO image matches that listed on the download web site page [09:29] i should check the hash for my ISO i think?

[10:45] that's when dist-upgrade comes [10:45] Ionut_, ask your ubuntu questions [10:45] of course, my kernel is kept back [10:45] flux242: its not that upgrade has problems, but dist-upgrade is preferable generally [10:46] for a reason [10:46] flux242: why do you want to keep your kernel back?

[10:47] popey: I have this emachines e440 and running (when worked) ubuntu 12.10. runned smoothly, but suddenly stopped (everything turned off). when i try to turn it back on, everything works (fans, also cpu i belive, hard disk everything) but the screen is all black. Can you tell me some opinions? [10:47] stupid to use 12.10, it's not a LTS release [10:47] Ionut_, check your GPU card. [10:47] teololtoy: now now, we don't call our users stupid [10:47] teololtoy, "stupid" is not helpful ... [10:47] popey: cfhowlett what about installing linux on android? [10:48] Ionut_, 12.10 is end of life and no longer supported. once you sort your graphics situation, you should upgrade to a supported version: 14.04 currently [10:48] Ionut_: 12.10 is no longer supported, which doesn't help you right now, but just FYI [10:48] cfhowlett: well, i tried with a VGA cable to connect it to another monitor, also i tried with a HDMI cable. nothing works. is that the proplem. [10:48] faLUCE: i haven't tried that, I dont run android really. [10:48] faLUCE, ask www.xdadevelopers.com about that [10:49] Ionut_: tricky, did it work previously? what changed? (you did updates?) [10:49] Ionut_, no video output? sounds like a failed gpu card [10:49] Ionut_, if you dual boot, try windows. or try hooking the monitor up to a different computer to eliminate the monitor as a fault. [10:49] is there an irc channel for xda? [10:49] here's the full output http://pastebin.com/zDeyVRcr [10:49] Is there an directory for the terminal? [10:50] Like in the filesystem [10:50] popey: it worked previously, no updates. had this problem before, but i tried to turn it on again and it worked. it sounds really like a graphic card problem. cfhowlett i can't dual boot, haven't windows on it and can't see anything on pc. any of u know if i can update the graphics card (change it) [10:50] Ionut_: one way to test would be to boot off a live cd / usb [10:51] so you guys think i should try another graphic card, but may i ask: can i change it on this pc [10:51] Ionut_: if you still have the problem then it could be a hardware issue [10:51] Ionut_, desktop? pull that sucker and replace. laptop? depends. [10:51] Ionut_: why are you using a non-LTS release? [10:51] flux242: The signature is bad "gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key (2012) " " [10:52] yeah, i've already noticed that signature is bad [10:52] flux242: The main archive is fine: "gpg: Good signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key (2012) "" [10:52] teololtoy: runnes better on this, i am a student and don't need more than i had. popey i belive is the graphics card fault. cfhowlett is a laptop. i can't find nothing about on internet. if i'll find that i can't switch with another graphic card ill do it now. i can buy a cheap one. [10:52] flux242: Ergo, there's either a mirror compromise or corruption; either way, alert the mirror owners [10:52] flux242: did you run the apt-key under sudo?

[11:38] deanrock0: is it a desktop or server (i.e. does it have a graphical environment or is it text only) ?

[11:45] deanrock0: does "ifconfig" list the interface? [11:46] He's got it working now [11:46] popey: no [11:47] deanrock0: does "dmesg | grep eth0" list it? [11:48] yes [11:48] popey: it also says something along the lines "renamed network interface eth0 to em1" [11:48] deanrock0: aha! [11:49] deanrock0: so thats the new naming scheme [11:51] popey: didn't expect that it would rename interfaces on upgrade ... anyway em1 isnt listed on ifconfig and ifup em1 returns "unknown interface em1=em1" [11:51] deanrock0: maybe you need to add a stanza for em1 in /etc/network/interfaces ? [11:52] deanrock0: alternatively you can disable the renaming by adding biosdevname=0 to your grub config [11:52] popey: it works, thanks so much [12:03] hi === root is now known as Guest41650 [12:03] hi root [12:10] deanrock0: sweet!

[13:10] stangeland: you're running ubuntu 13.10, which is eol (no support anymore), you can either upgrade or modify the sources.list [13:11] eeee, aha. so they already cut all support to 13.10 [13:11] its not even 1 year old [13:11] stangeland: non-lts releases are supported for 9 months [13:11] Looks like simply broken ._. [13:12] ( lts are supported for 5 years) [13:12] oh...thats not a lot...ok.... so after 9 months they just remove the repos and you are screwed until you update? [13:12] stangeland: sounds reasonably to me [13:13] stangeland: you can modify the sources.list , you just need to modify no.archive.ubuntu.com to no.old-releases.ubuntu.com === nik is now known as Guest92254 [13:13] updating would be better though [13:13] i see....i am running a git repository and a wiki server on apache on this 13.10 machine. is it safe to upgrade it directly yo 14.04 ?

Help is greatly appreciated [13:15] i see....i am running a git repository and a wiki server on apache on this 13.10 machine. is it safe to upgrade it directly yo 14.04 ? [13:15] Yes. [13:16] how do i upgrade it to 14.04? [13:16] Can you show /etc/apt/sources.list? [13:16] without loosing data and functionality [13:16] In /etc/sources.list replace all saucy with trusty [13:16] here it as: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8131136/ [13:16] no [13:17] But if it is broken - it will not work [13:17] do not modify sources.list like that [13:17] do not change distros in sources.list [13:17] Mm? [13:17] llorephie, its not broken...it used to work just fine until now suddently [13:17] In debian workd... [13:17] llorephie: you are not using debian [13:17] I can't find my xorg.conf :( big deal! [13:17] there should be no reason to change the distros in sources.list - do not do this [13:18] Guest92254: xorg does not use xorg.conf by default, if you want to hard code options you have to make the file [13:18] ikonia, okay - is there a better way? [13:18] stangeland: what exactly are you trying to do (I'm missing part of the conversation) [13:18] Okay, thank. thats what I figured actually. But apparently I have to do this, as I need it to add certain options for usbhid and xrandr [13:18] ikonia, i just want my system to work...suddently i cannot do apt-get update...apparantly because its no longer supported :/ its 1310 [13:19] hello. A buggy program messed up some system files and now, when I try to exec sshfs, it says "fusermount: failed to chdir to mountpoint: Permission denied", and I'm forced to exec the command as root. how can I solve? thanks [13:19] "xorg.conf" in /X11/, correct? [13:19] stangeland: ok, so what you need to do is either a.) upgrade to a supported version b.) clean install a supported version c.) point your sources.list at the old-release archive and continue unsupported [13:19] Guest92254: correct [13:19] stangeland: which option sounds best for you ? [13:19] faLUCE: what "buggy program" [13:19] faLUCE: what "system files" [13:19] faLUCE: is the folder marked as executable? [13:20] ActionParsnip: which folder? [13:20] ikonia, clean install is not an option atm. upgrade would be best...but im afraid if that will give me functionality and ultimately dataloss ? So i guess only option c remains? [13:20] stangeland: ok, so it's that simple, as your release is EOL - the repos get moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com [13:20] ikonia: 1) autosshfs (some rubbish that I found on github) 2) don't know which files [13:21] faLUCE: so how are you telling me it's messed up system files if you don't know what it's done [13:21] ikonia, i see. so i update the sources list with that? [13:21] stangeland: exactly [13:21] stangeland: but on the same distro [13:21] ikonia: exactly [13:21] faLUCE: exactly what ? [13:21] faLUCE: you're saying "it's updated system files" - yet you have no idea if it's updated system files/what it's odne [13:21] done [13:22] ikonia, yes ok i understand. so eg. deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy multiverse becomes deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy multiverse ? [13:22] stangeland: you got it [13:22] right. ill try it [13:22] thank you [13:22] ikonia: I don't know what files are messed. I only know that I receive that msg [13:22] faLUCE: when doing what? [13:22] faLUCE: right, so it's possibly not touched system files [13:22] faLUCE: best to say "I dont know" rather than make something up [13:23] Hmm, on RU and CS mirrors all stayed as it was.. :) [13:23] llorephie: what ? [13:23] eeee: eeee: hello. A buggy program messed up some system files and now, when I try to exec sshfs, it says "fusermount: failed to chdir to mountpoint: Permission denied", and I'm forced to exec the command as root. how can I solve? thanks [13:23] does anyone know the syntax for cloaking? [13:23] eeee: he has no idea what it's done - yet keeps insisting it's messed up system files [13:23] ikonia, ick that did not solve it :/ [13:23] eeee: it's not messed up system files [13:23] ikonia: with sausy support [13:23] eeee: I advise caution on the info [13:24] stangeland: what's the current error ? [13:24] stangeland: (use a pastebin if you need to) [13:24] ikonia, this is my current sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8131207/ [13:24] ikonia: sshfs worked well without asking root privileges until I installed that program [13:24] stangeland: what's the error [13:25] faLUCE: thats fine - but you have no idea what it's done, so stop telling people it's updated system files when you have no idea [13:25] ikonia, this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8131209/ [13:25] stangeland: your dns broken [13:25] stangeland: it's nothing to do with apt-get [13:25] aha i see [13:25] that makes sense [13:25] stangeland: it can't resolve old-release.ubuntu.com or ppa.launchpad.net [13:25] ikonia: please don't be polemic without a reason. I just asked how to fix those permission problems [13:26] faLUCE: please give proper information then rather than making up incorrect details [13:26] ikonia, yeah it would make sense that its the dns that causes problems [13:26] ikonia: I don't have further infos [13:26] faLUCE: right - so "I don't know what has happened" rather than "it's updated system files" - when you have no idea IF it's touched ANY system files [13:27] ikonia, ahhh that fixed it [13:27] or maybe not :( [13:27] Hello, I have several large folders in MailDir format and I would like for Thunderbird (any other programm you may suggest) to index them so I can properly arrange / read / move them etc. Any ideas?

[13:53] i am upgrading to 12.04 to 14.04.1 [13:54] i am extremely sorry guys [13:54] can i tell my problem i was facing [13:54] im sure this isn't the right channel to look for help on usbhid and such as this is specifically ubuntu [13:55] but where should I then look for help [13:56] @cfhowlett [13:57] @ikonia [13:57] !details | power, [13:57] power,: 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) [13:57] ok [13:57] I installed this ubuntu12.04 three days ago, it was a clean install but when the system booted it is not connecting to the available wifi network, touch pad geustures are not working [13:58] fetching the upgrade failed when i tried to upgrade to 12.10 [13:58] http://askubuntu.com/questions/515352/ubuntu-12-04-wireless-wifi-not-working-can-not-upgrade-to-12-10-touchpad-ges/515360#515360 [13:58] I used all these commands but still no positive results [13:59] power, some of those issues are quite likely to be fixed by upgrading to 14.04. for the last time: 12.10 is DEAD. open a terminal: sudo do-release-upgrade will bring you to 14.04.1 or get the ISO and clean install. [13:59] Yes [13:59] I tried to do that [13:59] but this is the problem [13:59] fckin xchat [13:59] Running the 'unity' desktop environment is not fully supported by your graphics hardware. You will maybe end up in a very slow environment after the upgrade. Our advice is to keep the LTS version for now. For more information see wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/UpdateManagerWarningForUnity3D Do you still want to continue with the upgrade? [13:59] guys [13:59] pls [13:59] advice good irc client [14:00] power, lubuntu or xubuntu then. get the ISO. clean install.

[14:02] that was interesting. [14:03] what will happen if i upgrade to 14.04.1 from 12.04? even when it says the graphics are not supported [14:03] i found out /dev/fb0 handles data in 0xBBGGRR(?)(?) format so far. 4 bytes per pixel. [14:04] power, lubuntu/xubuntu don't use unity. problem solved. [14:04] SOON I WILL MAKE A FRAMEBUFFER VERSION OF ROGUE/NETHACK. i hope... ;-; [14:04] okay [14:04] !flavors | power [14:04] power: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity.

[14:05] when the next release of LTS server version coming out? [14:06] thank you guys [14:06] sorry. im just trying to find a chat group that accepts linux discussions, it seems i came to the wrong group! :[ sorry [14:06] mdev, 2016 [14:06] for your time [14:06] ikonia: thanks! [14:06] wow ways away, so 14.04 is the very latest right? [14:06] ahehalfalfow: yeah, this is the wrong channel, this is ubuntu support, not linux discussion [14:07] I'll install xubuntu [14:07] mdev, well, 14.04.1 [14:07] mdev, also #ubuntu-server is a channel [14:08] Topic is 'Official Ubuntu Support Channel [14:08] thanks [14:10] this is last doubt of mine [14:10] my wifi drivers are not working at all, and i can use my wired connections not more than 2 hours [14:11] hello [14:11] cateract, greetings. ask your ubuntu questions [14:11] so if i upgrade to 14.04.1 [14:12] is there any possibility of that my wifi problem will be solved? [14:12] cfhowlett, I'm getting an issue while using evince, Whenever i try to select a word or line in evince, it gives me black background [14:13] cateract, and the selection is unviewable? [14:13] cfhowlett, yes [14:13] cfhowlett, how do i change this colour [14:14] hi people, I have a question concerning the ubuntu repository. There is a package called "mednafen" and the current version of the ubuntu repository is not the latest and I wanted to know where and how can I point out that in order to get the latest version of that package? [14:14] littlebit: why do you want the latest version [14:14] littlebit: whats wrong with the ubuntu version [14:15] ikonia: the current ubuntu version can't handle snes roms [14:15] cateract, I see nothing in help file suggesting that highlighting color can be selected. play with your global system appearance/theme settings. I'd guess that's the source of the trouble. *guess* [14:15] at the site http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/releases/ the latest version can handle snes roms [14:15] littlebit: is that a known/documented bug/feature ? [14:16] cfhowlett, I am searching this for a lot of time now [14:16] cfhowlett, fine i'll find something [14:16] !info mednafen [14:16] mednafen (source: mednafen): multi-platform emulator, including NES, GB/A, Lynx, PC Engine. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.D.3-6 (trusty), package size 1875 kB, installed size 5645 kB [14:16] ikonia: I'm not sure, because it is my first time that I ran into an unupdated package in the ubuntu repo [14:16] snes is super nintendo entertainment system [14:16] littlebit: do you know whwat version the snes support came in at ? [14:17] littlebit, #mednafen might know more [14:17] littlebit, also sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:17] cfhowlett: let me try that [14:18] hey all, i just installed gnome, and i'm trying to figure out how to enter a "^" which is part of my password [14:18] i type shift+6 and nothing happens... [14:19] ikonia: yes, it starts at version 0.9 [14:19] littlebit: you'll need to log a bug then [14:19] ikonia: ok, where do I do that? [14:19] littlebit: its unlikely it's going to get updated in my opinion [14:19] littlebit: launchpad.net [14:19] !bug > littlebit [14:19] littlebit, please see my private message [14:20] ikonia: y do u say so? [14:20] littlebit: because it's the norm for ubuntu not to update packages in the middle of release without a really good reason [14:21] ikonia: ah ok, but it will at each cycle tough which is in 04 and 09 or 11 right? [14:22] littlebit: it may/may not change versions at each release. [14:22] hi, anyone knows why softdog (software watchdog) for ubuntu 12.04.3 doesn't work at all? I triggered the kernel crash with "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger", and wanted to see a rebooting, but no luck... [14:22] littlebit: if you want, you can compile from source [14:23] eeee: that is true, but I thought of pointing out that there is a package in the ubuntu repo that needs to be updated for the next cyle [14:23] *cycle [14:23] I'm sure the watchdog daemon is running correctly. with "ps -ef" to check the process state, and also "tail /var/log/syslog" to see if watchdog service was started properly. [14:24] littlebit: alright, cool [14:25] thought you didn't know you could still get it [14:25] before then [14:25] eeee: yea true [14:25] however, the system could reboot successfully if I tried to kill the watchdog process by: # kill -STOP $(cat /var/run/watchdog.pid) [14:29] Hi, im having some technical issues regarding the Wifi. It is a Asus X550C laptop. The network hardware switch is ON, When I try to press fn+f2 (for the wifi-switch, nothing happens). so I cant connect to wifi =( [14:30] Could someone please tell me what the hell is going on with my SSD drives? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/43ae10838f1820734a07 === tim__ is now known as timtjtim === mateusmm is now known as fantasma === DaZ is now known as igurd [14:38] i wrote a contab for rtcwake and entered it with crontab -e but it didnt run [14:39] Basketball: if you run: crontab -l , do you see the crontab you added? [14:40] i see my 3 ones ActionParsnip did it type them right [14:40] 0 0 * * 2,3,4,5,1 sudo rtcwake -l -s 108000 -m mem [14:40] 0 7 * * 2,3,4,5,1 sudo rtcwake -l -s 28800 -m mem [14:40] 0 0 * * 1,0,6 pmi action suspend [14:40] Basketball: you cant add sudo to cron [14:40] Hi again... Now I configure with ubuntu-customisation-kit Ubuntu 14.04.1 ISO, in terminal mode I installed... Many packages. Such as ubuntustudio* packages, wine, LAMP-server. But will it correct work on target PCs? [14:41] Or for this I must use other solutions? [14:41] ActionParsnip, so do i just remove sudo from it [14:41] Basketball: you need to run: sudo crontab -e , to edit root's crontab and add the commands without sudo [14:41] llorephie, *should* work. [14:41] and ActionParsnip the 3rd line should have ran last night at midnight and it didnt [14:41] Basketball: if the commands need sudo to work, you need to cron as root, not your user [14:42] 0 0 * * 2,3,4,5,1 rtcwake -l -s 108000 -m mem [14:42] 0 7 * * 2,3,4,5,1 rtcwake -l -s 28800 -m mem [14:42] 0 0 * * 1,0,6 pmi action suspend [14:42] and ActionParsnip how do i do that [14:42] cfhowlett: do you know, is there some alternatives for this? Need install this image on 15 monoblocks with dual-boot with Windows =\ [14:42] Basketball: do what? [14:42] root [14:42] any way to disable trackpad while typing in ubuntu? [14:43] llorephie, netinstall is the first thing that comes to mind, but I don't know if you can netinstall in dualboot [14:43] Basketball: you need to run: sudo crontab -e , like I already said, and cron as root if the command needs root access [14:43] cfhowlett: there is no central server or LAN-connection. School =( [14:43] chrs-: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [14:44] ActionParsnip: you got me, i shouldn't be asking in here. i'm not running a supported version [14:44] llorephie, well, then ... start booting and installing. Have fun with that :) [14:44] chrs-: then why ask? [14:44] i'm a gambler [14:45] ActionParsnip, that still doesnt explain why pmi action suspend didnt run at midnight last night [14:45] i was hoping for the best [14:45] cfhowlett: about 15Gb of packages >,...,< [14:45] Don't sure about our internet connection :\ [14:45] chrs-: if your release is EOL I suggest you upgrade or reinstall to get to a supported release [14:45] chrs-, the best is you get your OS support from the OS channels. [14:45] ActionParsnip: my release is 14.10 but theres not that many people in ubuntu+1 [14:45] llorephie, perhaps setting up your own repo mirror is an option. [14:45] chrs-: settings > mouse > disable while typing [14:46] hello my terminal seems to have a limit of text to being displayed.I am scrolling up and I cannot see the text above, how do I solve that? [14:46] Basketball: you could add a command to update a file with some text, the n run the pmi command so you know the line was processed [14:46] eeee: weird, it's already checked [14:46] cfhowlett: Hmm... What size of Ubuntu repo is now about?) Maybe for 1 night I can download it... [14:46] chrs-: that is where is is supported. Just because the channel is dead doesnt mean you can fall back to here [14:46] eeee: theres already a problem with the trackpad driver that i'm about to file a bug for, for a different issue [14:46] WeiJunLi: AFAIK it depends on the terminal you are using [14:47] ActionParsnip: i know, sorry [14:47] eeee: so maybe theres it's another driver issue [14:47] ok, i'm gone. thanks. [14:47] dannixon: default terminal ubuntu14.04 [14:47] chrs-: you do realise that not only is Utopic not even remotely ready or stable, but when it does come out its only got 9 months of support [14:47] llorephie, 8 gigs max for plain vanilla ubuntu [14:48] WeiJunLi: Im [14:48] cfhowlett: wow... Ubuntu Studio must be not over 30Gb... Thanks :) [14:48] WeiJunLi: what do you mean? theres a scrollback set in the preferences [14:48] llorephie, not even close [14:48] WeiJunLi: try shift+uparrow [14:48] WeiJunLi: sorry, shift+pageup [14:49] WeiJunLi: I;m not sure what the default is, haven't used it for a while, but the option you want is the default scrollback length [14:49] eeee: it writes AAAAAA [14:49] hello world [14:49] on terminal [14:49] llorephie, I've got ubuntustudio with xubuntu-restricted-extras and a few odds - ends. 11 gigs not counting /home [14:49] this is my first linux experience [14:49] WeiJunLi: yeah sorry, shift+pageup [14:50] ActionParsnip, what do i type [14:50] anyway I solved it [14:50] thank you! [14:50] np [14:50] cfhowlett: wow... Thanks :) [14:51] Basketball: what is the output of: echo $USER [14:51] harris [14:51] ivan_newbie: Hello, welcome. [14:52] ActionParsnip, harris [14:52] anyway In the profile preferences there is scrolling info to Unlimited but it always find a limit anyway lool [14:52] wafflejock, [14:52] Basketball: then change the last line to: 0 0 * * 1,0,6 echo "suspend" | tee /home/harris/Desktop/suspendran.txt; pmi action suspend [14:53] ActionParsnip, ok and what about the other 2 [14:54] idk if they work [14:54] Basketball: if you run pmi action suspend in a terminal [14:54] Basketball: 3rd time. Run: sudo crontabe -e ,put those commands there so they are cron'd as root [14:54] does it work? === xxffcce is now known as xxffccee === Iota-Spencer is now known as IotaSpencer [14:55] ActionParsnip, i put all 3 in sudo contab -e [14:55] Basketball: why are you using it over pm-suspend ? [14:55] eeee, no reason [14:55] try it in the terminal [14:55] i don't find a preview images from terminal that to work it, can you help me? [14:55] Basketball: cool, then it will run the commands as root [14:55] try what via terminal eeee [14:55] pmi action suspend [14:55] ok ActionParsnip we see tonight when it does that [14:56] Basketball: i think it ran, but the command isn't working [14:56] Basketball: do you have pmi installed? [14:57] What games do you guys play in linux? [14:57] Raz1, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:57] all right === ivan_newbie is now known as themadman === themadman is now known as ivan_msp [15:00] ActionParsnip, how do i make this also run sunday at midnight 0 0 * * 2,3,4,5,1 rtcwake -l -s 108000 -m mem what do i add [15:00] Basketball: have you done a apt-get install powermanagement-interface ? [15:01] Basketball: cause if you haven't, you don't have the command pmi [15:02] On that topic. I recently experimented with TLP (on and off) and intel pstate (on and off) on my ivybridge laptop. pstate decreased battery life whereas tlp made no difference at all regardless of scaling governor [15:02] eeee, how do i make this also run sunday at midnight 0 0 * * 2,3,4,5,1 rtcwake -l -s 108000 -m mem what do i add [15:02] Basketball: 0 0 * * 6 command , is saturday going to sunday at midnight.... [15:04] ActionParsnip, no i want it to run command sunday through thursday [15:04] wouldn't that be friday midnight ? 6 = saturday and 0 0 being the start ? ( i haven't tried it.. ) [15:11] i want to build an old program for 32-bit on this 64-bit machine... so i install lib32ncurses5-dev, but i am missing lib32svgalib1-dev. does anyone know an easy way to make lib32XXX packages? [15:11] ysangkok: apt-file can help you find things [15:12] expunge: i know, but the package i am looking for was never generated; so of course apt-file can't help me [15:12] =) [15:13] i mean, the system works for lib32ncurses5-dev, i just don't know how it works [15:13] it is turtles all the way down though... when building svgalib for 32-bit, it needs the 32-bit version of libx86... and these obscure packages have hideous build systems [15:14] heh === stan is now known as Guest51211 === pedro_ is now known as Nandinho65555 [15:20] ysangkok: libsvga1-dev ? [15:20] ysangkok: apt-get install libsvga1-dev:i386 libx86-1:i386 [15:25] ok, so i made a change to /etc/default/grub and now when i do update-grub i get this error: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 11: /etc/default/grub: quiet splash noplymouth acpi_backlight=samsung radeon.audio=1: not found [15:25] how do i put grub back to default? [15:25] use your backup [15:25] lets hope i was smart enough to make one [15:25] you made a backup before you changed the file right ? [15:26] nope >.> [15:26] then you need to manually updated it [15:26] if only i could go back in time D: [15:26] however that error shows the problem is line 11 [15:26] bluefox83: pastebin that file [15:26] so just fix line 11 [15:26] that's the thing, i did fix it [15:26] it still messes up D: [15:26] then you've not fixed it [15:27] heh [15:27] what i mean is, i put it back to what it wasbefore i edited the file [15:27] Whoop, I got it working from last night!! Installing Ubuntu now. If the guys who helped me out are here, thank you. [15:27] bluefox83: I doubt that [15:27] or you wouldn't be asking "how do I put it back to how it was before" [15:27] you clearly know it's not right [15:28] so is there a eway to restore grub to what it was before? like create a new file? [15:28] bluefox83: no [15:28] i'm freaking tempted to just delete it and regenerate a new one >.> [15:28] but i dunno how to make it do that either...lol [15:28] that file is specific to your machine and used to build the grub config [15:28] bluefox83: the default grub file is available online [15:28] bluefox83: how do you expect to generate a new one....when your ocnfig file is broken [15:29] how about if i reinstall grub O.o [15:29] bluefox83: why did you not backup the file before editting? [15:29] wont it generate new config file? [15:29] bluefox83: that just puts the binary back onto the boot sector [15:29] ActionParsnip: who knows, momentary lapse of stupid i suppose [15:30] bluefox83: no, but as I said. The file is available online. Making backups of files allows easy backpedalling, no? [15:30] you don't actually need /etc/default/grub, except to use the upstream and ubuntu way of configuring grub [15:30] =) [15:32] expunge: user is using Ubuntu..... [15:32] bluefox83: http://askubuntu.com/questions/277736/regenerate-etc-default-grub [15:32] ActionParsnip: no way! [15:32] expunge: crazy, right? [15:32] loopey, even [15:34] popey: won't that break the existing 64-bit version? if i install packages with the :i386 suffix, do they really go into /usr/lib32 so that gcc will find them when run with -m32 ? [15:36] is there a tool in ubuntu for reading .dat files? [15:36] ok, going to restart...hope i didn't break anything >.> [15:37] Guest51211: dat isn't used for just one type of file, what is the file for? [15:37] Guest51211: ".dat files" tells us nothing [15:38] Guest51211: what is the file, how did you generate it or come across it [15:38] sorry, its a blackberry bbm.dat file [15:38] Guest51211: so its contact details then? [15:38] http://tinyurl.com/p5bpscx [15:38] free soccer tips [15:38] chat history [15:39] Guest51211: tried gedit? [15:39] Guest51211: little note, in Linux file extensions don't mean much [15:39] guys, how to kill xserver and just use system like a shell? a vps [15:39] yes, i only see some text that makes sense but mostly gibberish [15:40] Xtreme: don't cross post [15:40] ok ActionParsnip i hear u [15:40] expunge, dint wanted to [15:40] but realised ubuntu will be a better place [15:40] PS: lightdm doesnt work [15:40] mint uses cinammon [15:41] cinnamon is not a DM [15:41] but you could try gdm instead === quem_ is now known as quem === Xtreme is now known as Xtreme_Away === marto is now known as expoboy [15:43] Guest51211: if you use the 'file' command in terminal, what does it say the file is? [15:43] Hey, I get the message that there is an internal error in Ubuntu (https://i.imgur.com/GfxTXLu.png) at random times — no visible problems happen. Why is that? [15:43] Guest51211: looks like if you want to fiddle with it you could try this Blackberry Backup Extractor program, perhaps under wine you can extract the data [15:43] Wlm: report the issue, it helps things get fixed [15:44] I always report them, ActionParsnip, just wondered what was going on [15:45] WLM: yeah you can look into the details it provides and/or check you /var/log files particularly syslog, or use dmesg to search for errors, (maybe this helps too, dmesg | grep EE) [15:45] file command says its a data file [15:46] good ole 'file' =P [15:46] Guest51211: can you not make the file again, but use plain text [15:49] how ActionParsnip? [15:50] ok, so the new grub thing worked..thanks for that [15:51] but now i need to figure out why i can only boot from a 3.8 kernel in recovery mode, and can't boot any other kernels, in recovery mode or otherwise [15:52] blufox83: think you mentioned you had a Samsung is a it a chromebook variety? [15:52] no [15:53] it's not a chromebook [15:53] k was just curious cause I've heard the chromebooks can be more work and more picky about what works [15:53] mhmm [15:55] but for whatever reason i can't even install 14.04 from scratch because once i select to try ubuntu it wont start a graphical interface...it just sits at a black screen...when i try to do the check disk for errors...it does the same thing [15:55] so i'm really confused [15:56] blufox83: well from the live CD I think it should only really be dependent on your RAM and the video drivers loading up properly... that's very strange though never seen a boot CD not be able to get the GUI without some error arising first [15:57] i'm wondering if it's not the default video drivers for my radeon card [15:57] i had to install drivers for my card from the website on this kernel (3.8) so this is getting out of hand [15:58] how do I disable Lubuntu using hibernate and suspend? [15:58] it is only reboot and shutdown that work properly [15:58] blufox83: hmm yeah maybe, I haven't really used ATI myself in a long time cause I always found linux support to be flakey === quem_ is now known as quem [15:59] well i have to go...see you later [16:03] got a question, I have compiled mednafen from source and when i start the program from the terminal, I get: "./configure && make && sudo make install" [16:03] sry I meant "bash: /usr/games/mednafen: No such file or directory" [16:03] So that file or directory does not exist. [16:03] how install zgv from terminal? [16:04] bekks: yes I know but when I use "which mednafen" I get: /usr/local/bin/mednafen [16:04] ubunt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding_the_Universe_and_Multiverse_Repositories [16:05] littlebit: And "/usr/games/mednafen" is not "/usr/local/bin/mednafen" [16:05] hi i just lpartitioned my usb stick with gparted how do i knwo installubuntu 12 on it? [16:05] do i have to run from live cd? [16:05] or can i just do it out of my regular deskotp installation [16:05] ? [16:05] pls help [16:06] how do I prevent ubuntu suing suspend and hibernate? [16:06] thecha: you want to put installation media on it, or install a system _to it_? [16:06] TimeVirus: pardon? [16:06] bekks: i know but the terminal gives me "bash: /usr/games/mednafen: No such file or directory" when i enter mednafen. but when I enter /usr/local/bin/mednafen it works fine [16:06] a system [16:06] how do I prevent ubuntu using suspend and hibernate [16:06] TimeVirus: you using a laptop? [16:06] expunge thanks first of all! secondly i want to install ubuntu 12 on it and thn have a developing envrionment i can take with me [16:07] thecha: ah [16:07] expunge is that a good or a bad ah? [16:07] thecha: that's a little involved, you'll want to find a howto [16:07] coudl y ou provide a link [16:07] thecha: it's an I won't personally be able to help you much with that ah [16:07] i wastn able to ind anything [16:07] no but someone else might could [16:07] it's been done [16:07] have been looking for houirs [16:08] how do I prevent ubuntu using suspend and hibernate please [16:08] thye dont work [16:08] they* [16:08] any idea? [16:09] ysangkok: it shouldn't break, no. [16:09] TimeVirus: you never answered my question [16:09] ysangkok: that's the point of multiarch - allows you to have multiple copies of the same lib - 32 and 64 bit, installed at once [16:10] you ask a question to answer mine? [16:10] ok [16:10] why does it matter? [16:11] TimeVirus: click the battery in the indicator area, choose power settings. You can disable suspend there. We don't enable hibernate by default. [16:11] ok thanks [16:13] TimeVirus: to follow your example, I can only ignore your question =P [16:14] great we, you and I, are on the same page [16:14] have a nice day [16:16] any downsides to create an user with low uid, like 250? I want to prevent it from showing in login screen, lightdm blacklist username doesn't work. [16:17] patates: how'd you try to make it work? [16:18] expunge, edited lighdm config, add desired usname in hidden-users= [16:19] popey: hmm great! but what is the point of the separately named lib32XXX packages then? [16:19] patates: there's another option, I think, to enable that functionality [16:20] expunge: I'd like to know that. [16:21] patates: dpkg -l | grep -i greet [16:21] repository for zgv? [16:22] .. thanks expunge.. [16:24] patates: ? [16:24] ubunt: universe [16:24] ubunt: doesn't appear to have a current release https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/zgv last released for Precise [16:24] expunge: that does nothing. My problem has nothing to do with greeter.. [16:24] expunge: greeter doesn't offer blacklisting usernames [16:25] patates: you have to find the config file [16:25] expunge: ofc I did. [16:26] patates: what file is it? [16:27] ysangkok: those may be old package names which haven't been migrated to multiarch? [16:27] expunge: lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf [16:28] patates: so what're the two things you've set? [16:29] expunge: no options to set a blacklist [16:29] patates: you should be able to set greeter-hide-users=true, and then in another config hidden-users=foo [16:30] but I want to keep a few users, I just want to hide one [16:30] expunge [16:32] of I think I have fount the problem.. users.conf is ignored bcz I got accountservice installed [16:33] cheers. how can I check whether apparmor is enabled or not? [16:33] don't find zgv and don't find dfbsee amd fbi give me error [16:33] can you help me [16:33] ? [16:33] ubunt: if they are not in the main repos they will either a.) not exist b.) be provided by 3rd parties [16:34] Hi!

[16:37] Hi [16:37] GatisO: Hello [16:38] Neurome: the easiest solution would probably be to use PulseAudio [16:38] Neurome: ah sorry i thought you said audio, but you said radio [16:38] Also when I boot I must run compiz --replace to get unity to work [16:39] if I mark an user SystemUser, in accountsservice, does this give the user any privileges? like sudo'ing or something less dangerous? [16:41] how can I permanently change the keyboard layout on ubuntu server ~just by changing a configuration file [16:41] because I already changed /etc/default/keyboard and no success [16:47] What can I do to have 3 partitions mounted (with their label, in /media/myUser/myLabel, as would happen if I mounted them through the file manager) when I open a session ? [16:48] hi [16:50] ysangkok: awesome [16:51] kristenbb: I think you might want to read up on 'fstab' ? [16:51] problems getting radio working : ( [16:51] internet radio anybody know ? [16:51] SchrodingersScat: are you sure it can easily keep the label that was chosen for the drive ? [16:51] kristenbb: at least that's how I've got my two 'Data' partitions mounted on boot [16:52] kristenbb: not sure about label, but you can select the path, I have mine set to /media/$(whoami)/foo and that's where it is when it's mounted. [16:52] how can I permanently change the keyboard layout on ubuntu server ~just by changing a configuration file [16:53] !fstab | kristenbb [16:53] kristenbb: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:53] floWenoL: You would have to change your keymaps and your xorg.conf if you only want to do it from the command line. [16:53] SchrodingersScat: I want 'foo' to be the driver's label. Actually I want to have exactly the same result as if I had clicked on 'mount' from the file manager. So 'foo' does not work for me [16:53] hy all [16:53] floWenoL: But you should use the GUI to change it. [16:54] rypervenche: did you read what I wrote ubuntu SERVER [16:54] no gui [16:54] floWenoL: Nope, I did not. I'm only half "listening" here. Change your keymaps then. It should be something like /etc/default/keymaps or something like that. [16:55] rypervenche: already did [16:55] floWenoL: Then log out and back in and you'll be set. [16:55] kristenbb: foo is just a placeholder because I don't know what you're actually calling it, and it doesn't help you to know what I call it. Check out the links ubottu sent you and see if that makes any sense. [16:55] can I install drivers into Ubuntu live-cd? and "save the settings" somehow? I don't want to install ubuntu because I'm afraid data loss because of splitting a partition and it would be too much time to save all my datas [16:55] rypervenche: I even rebooted [16:55] but it would be good if I would be able to use this from playing dvd [16:55] floWenoL: pastebin your keymaps file please. [16:56] gregtom6, persistent usb [16:56] hold a sec [16:56] !usb | gregtom6 [16:56] gregtom6: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:56] SchrodingersScat: but my point is that I don't want to hard code the value. I just want to say 'mount the drive in /dev/sda1' and I want to have exactly the same result as if I had done it from the user interface [16:57] kristenbb: Does labeling the file system not work for you? [16:58] rypervenche: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d241b41372fe90fe00ce [16:59] rypervenche: the file system does have a label. Let me restate my question. I want to be able to mount a partition when the system (or session, I don't mind) starts, and I want it to behave exactly as if I had done it from the user interface (in particular, I don't want to have to specify the location of where it will be mounted, the label of the mounted folder, and I want to be able to unmount it without any privileges) [16:59] floWenoL: That is not the right file. Give me a second. [16:59] rypervenche: dont have any other that seems related to keyboard in there [17:02] is it not possible to automate such as simple task as mounting a drive when the system starts ? [17:02] kristenbb: yup [17:02] !fstab [17:02] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:03] wafflejock: it does not seem that fstab really does what I would do when I click on 'mount' from the user interface [17:03] kristenbb: If udev isn't doing that for you automatically, then you may need to write some udisk rules. It should work automatically though. You may also need to have your Window Manager auto-mount them for you. [17:04] kristenbb: how doesn't it? [17:04] bazhang: what is the disadvantages of this? [17:04] kristenbb: yeah got back late in the conversation here actually other guys peeps here can probably help more [17:04] bazhang: I think it will be slower [17:05] expunge: well what do I have to do for it to behave exactly as if I had done it by hand ? (in particular, not giving label, mount point, and being able to unmount it without privileges) ? [17:05] floWenoL: loadkeys may be what you need to use. [17:05] rypervenche: thats what I have been doing but does not survive reboots [17:05] bazhang: will this be able to use the two bluetooth adapters connected to the PC? [17:05] kristenbb: particular /etc/fstab options [17:05] kristenbb: and possibly also nautilus, depending [17:05] expunge: okay, then maybe this is what I am missing. Which options ? [17:07] gregtom6, of course it will be slower than a regular install [17:08] kristenbb: user allow a user to mount [17:09] rypervenche: and what about choosing the device label as the mount point ? [17:09] kristenbb: As I said, I believe that would need to be done through udev rules. [17:10] I'm sorry I have no idea what it means. Can you be more specific ? === tcpman is now known as Guest75368 [17:12] haven't done this myself but looks like a pretty thorough write up on it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [17:12] old though so some things may have shifted [17:13] #nig hi [17:13] #nig hi [17:13] #nig hi [17:13] #nig hi [17:13] #nig hi [17:13] ignoring [17:13] hey [17:13] !ops [17:13] Help!

[17:17] /home/morteza [17:18] MortezaE: always good to check if it's plugged in :) [17:18] been trying out ubuntu for somo time now and really love it..but there is something whit windows that have a hold on me i really dont know what. anyone that had this filling? === Xtreme_Away is now known as Xtreme [17:18] MortezaE: so... have you tried firing up nautilus from the terminal and see if anything comes out [17:18] wafflejock, ok i'll test. thank u [17:19] kimmern25: not really.... I keep windows around becasuse I need it to run certain programs (Adobe stuff) but I wish I could leave it (wish Adobe had Linux releases, even at a premium I would pay to leave windows) [17:20] works fine in a VM [17:20] yup [17:20] but so do all the native, gratis, free alternatives... natively [17:20] also via Wine =P [17:20] expunge: I work with web developers [17:20] Wine only runs older versions [17:20] expunge: sorry meant designers* [17:20] am a developer [17:20] older versions of what? [17:20] so I need to be able to open PSDs or AI [17:20] wafflejock: i want to leve windows to but there is somthing whit it that make me come back [17:20] Photoshop Illustrator [17:20] photoshop and illustrator have changed very little in years [17:21] and gimp and inkscape do all the same things [17:21] expunge: designers don't use them === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [17:21] schools force feed Adobe tools [17:22] oh you just use them to convert files =) [17:22] expunge: yeah I'm just extracting things from designs then I'm outta there [17:22] wafflejock, I restarted it and now it works fine and has nothing to say to terminal for now... [17:23] it's just annoying to need it around, Krita does a good job rendering PSDs GIMP has problems with all the layer effects stuff though [17:23] MortezaE: yeah hard to say really but try running Nautilus from the terminal the next few times you use it and see if anything crops up, you can also check out your /var/log/syslog or other logs to see if anything crops up [17:24] ok i do so. ty [17:24] and personally I like Inkscape better than AI, but I'm not a designer so doesn't matter what I like [17:24] MortezaE: np good luck [17:24] kinda makes 'designer' a bad word, doesn't it? =P [17:25] eh I need em :) [17:25] I just think it sucks of Adobe, but I've complained to them already, they don't want to hear from the 1%, there were 10,000 who voted on a petition for it but no budge === Adran is now known as randomfriendofco === randomfriendofco is now known as adran [17:38] how to change the system [17:39] when i in terminal, i need to enter "python3" to open python 3.3 [17:39] how to change it>?

[17:55] okay dat alt and click thing worked [17:56] wait [17:56] I get: plasma-desktop: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libakonadi-kde.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7Akonadi21NotificationMessageV217registerDBusTypesEv [17:57] marvin-hh: someone may be able to help here but you may want to try #kubuntu as well [17:57] marvin-hh: looks like something is borked in Akonadi which is a central part of all the data in KDE desktop [17:57] so i went to monitors, but only got resolution of 640x480 [17:58] cannot select another one [17:58] musher: probably needs graphics drivers...are you in virtual box or regular install?

[17:59] k can you get a terminal, if so type, lspci -k and look for your vga [17:59] marvin-hh: I've been happy with Gnome, honestly KDE was fine on my system for a while too [18:00] marvin-hh: I bought a System76 machine which means they check the hardware and work on custom drivers if need be (though I've never really needed them) [18:00] wafflejock: you work on custom drivers? What does that mean? [18:01] marvin-hh: you can't have this insane expectation that software written by a community of people will run on every possible configuration of hardware in the world without error [18:01] marvin-hh: I don't work on custom drivers the company who makes my laptop makes them for their laptops, just sayin using random hardware you gotta expect a few random results [18:01] it's not like Dell slaps Windows into any given set of hardware and expects it to work, there are drivers and there are issues they deal with before shipping it out [18:03] treats: need to be a bit more specific on what it's doing that's unexpected [18:03] wafflejock: you actually work for System76?

[18:04] marvin-hh: I just work for a small business my brother and I started up [18:04] wafflejock: do you just own a System76 system?> [18:04] marvin-hh, you are bordering trolling [18:04] yeah [18:05] wafflejock: I would like to see a company statement from them that they actually modify any drivers. === scott is now known as Guest56163 [18:05] wafflejock: because, I don't think they have the knowhow to do so. [18:05] marvin-hh: https://system76.com/support/ [18:05] marvin-hh: great don't care [18:05] marvin-hh, i think they offer a system76 driver of sorts [18:05] marvin-hh: we're done talking unless you have a legit question I can answer [18:06] wafflejock: you have not provided evidence that they write their own drivers.

[18:06] kostkon: for example for the fan controls, etc. [18:07] marvin-hh, even so, it's a driver, isn't it [18:07] kostkon: they do not have the capability to guarantee anything about nvidia or amd hardware.

[18:41] anyone here using ubuntu 14.10 [18:42] #ubuntu+1 for that tony_ [18:42] tony_, no, support for 14.10 is in #ubuntu+1 [18:42] hi, what NAS to go for? ReadyNAS, Asustor, Synology or WD My Cloud? I would like to have support for Bittorrent Sync, rsync and media-sharing. Any idea, anyone? [18:42] * untill release [18:42] is it well known that 14.04 eats up a lot of memory? [18:42] Heard good things about freeNAS [18:43] There is also owncloud [18:43] Algebr remove ubuntu [18:43] thank you [18:43] Pryda: Right, there is that option. I'm just surpised at how resource hungry ubunut is. [18:43] dunderburken, freenas, or openmediavault would be my choise [18:43] Klystron: no I'm not. BTW I unplugged and plugged back my front panel headers. Not sure if i plugged to correct pinsr. [18:44] *pins [18:44] Algebr: it's pretty heavy in terms of DEs I think that's well known among those who care [18:44] wafflejock: What is DEs? [18:44] Algebr: sorry desktop environments [18:45] ah, I'm coming from arch using xfce... [18:45] Algebr: yeah that's at the light end [18:45] Algebr: I think LXDE is the lightest [18:45] not sure though [18:45] icewm [18:45] openbox [18:45] many light ones [18:45] twm [18:45] I just see it using up so much system memory and none of the swap. [18:46] Algebr, is that bad? [18:46] Algebr: thats good, swap is slow [18:46] Algebr: ? since swap is way more slower its hjust right to use ram first [18:46] agree with statements/questions here [18:46] ^^ [18:46] Right, I guess its a good thing. Just have 16gb and seeing 1.6 gb being used up on just firefox/emacs is concerning [18:46] OerHeks, looked at freenas, but then you need to assembly the NAS hardware by you own? [18:46] cpu 1005 is also not bad [18:46] 100% [18:47] Algebr: what are you gonna use all that RAM for anyhow? [18:47] dunderburken, that is the basic of linux, yes. [18:47] python-es [18:47] Algebr: linux uses RAM to cache every disk file you read, so RAM usage might seem a lot higher than it actually is [18:47] wafflejock: hmm, big pandas dataframes? [18:47] reversible, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer [18:48] your BIOS should have a setting to use it or not. [18:48] take a desktop or build a headless server, or buy one. Asustor, Synology or WD My Cloud i am not sure they can run linux [18:48] if it is in use, try switching it off, or if off, turn it on. [18:49] bazhang: fyi avconv took care of it. thanks for your help. "avconv -i file.avi -strict -2 episode8.mp4" [18:49] Algebr: yeah if it's a server and you want to keep resources to a minimum then Unity probably isn't the way to go [18:50] energizer, great news [18:50] Algebr: Firefox and/or Chrome (modern web browsers) can eat up a lot of RAM on their own too though [18:51] wafflejock: thanks [18:52] apt-get update: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [18:52] lol [18:52] grennich: lol [18:53] lxde is lightweight [18:53] grennich: when did that start?

I am doing a challenge and the second one works but not the first (also, how to research info on this?) [18:58] slowlearn11: please elaborate what happens, "works" is not a very detailed description. [18:58] let me rephrase that. I changed sources because i could not even update before by %s/us.//g in sources.list. I updated and upgraded what seemed like successfully, then I went to run an update again and now: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [18:59] I'm scared to reboot too because this is my kerberos server and I can't afford it not working [18:59] slow, I don't see a difference [18:59] SwedeMike: the challenge (http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/bandit3.html) is to read a file that has a space in it. doing cat thefile shows nothing at all, but cat ./thefile works [19:00] that is it prints the content [19:00] asterisk means match all and is assumed in the current working directory. ./ explicitly means current directory [19:01] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 14.01 on my netbook alongside win8 , but ubuntu does not detect the existing partitions and shows the entire disk as freespace. [19:01] Please tell how to install in the partition that i have allocated for ubuntu? [19:01] slowlearn11: I can't duplicate that behavior on my machine, I created a file with a space in the name and the * still globs it fine. [19:02] wafflejock: 500 mb just for gnome-shell!? [19:02] slowlearn11: do "find . -name '*spaces*' -print0" and tell me what it dinds. [19:02] SchrodingersScat: the file on that server is weird. I do not know how to duplicate it, However it is easy to connect to the server to duplicate. Is it ok to give the challenge's password ? [19:02] That doesn't sound...crazy?

I have windows 8 already installed in my laptop. I want to make a dual boot in my laptop. I was reading about UEFI. And i am confused how to install properly to boot both the OSes. Can anyone help me with it? [19:12] slowlearn11: for f in *; do cat "$f"; done [19:12] hi amanthakur [19:12] iceroot_: does not work [19:12] onizu, hi [19:12] slowlearn11: cat * would be the same as your for loop [19:12] amanthakur: just boot and go through installation? [19:12] slowlearn11: "does not work" is bad description [19:13] iceroot_: It is exactly the same result as cat *, that is it enters cat as if no file were provided [19:14] onizu, i have followed the same procedure till now. But haven't installed ubuntu for over 2 years now. So was worried, since many users have faced problems with UEFI hardware. [19:14] loganrun: update-grub? [19:14] amanthakur: you're from india, right? you can join #ubuntu-in === corey_ is now known as Guest8443 [19:15] slowlearn11: for i in *; do cat "$i"; done works fine here [19:15] onizu, yes, but i thnk i can get a better support here because there are so many volunteers in this channel and i have my comm skills :) [19:16] amanthakur: sure [19:16] slowlearn11: if even "cat *" is failing, there is another issue [19:16] iceroot_: I swear it does not, is it just me ? the file name is '-' [19:17] wafflejock, [19:17] anyone know of a reliable semantic file system? [19:17] slowlearn11: for i in *; do cat -- "$i" ; done [19:17] is there any app to measure the temperature of system [19:18] slowlearn11: no, the filename is more than -, it's - with one or more spaces.

[19:19] SwedeMike, so i install from software centre or terminal [19:19] SchrodingersScat: are you adam?? [19:19] onizu: no. [19:19] SchrodingersScat: are you the guy from chatjunkies? :D [19:19] ok ) [19:19] had a friend with this nick [19:21] sajan: doesn't matter. [19:21] SwedeMike: That's because it's - and that means stdin [19:22] SwedeMike: Use the full path with -- and it works [19:22] SwedeMike: Errr, -- isn't even needed at that point. [19:22] slowlearn11: if the file is called "-" then imagine what is handed over to cat [19:23] slowlearn11: dont name files with "-" [19:23] it's homework [19:23] I did not, it's a tutorial === graingert_ is now known as Guest61341 [19:24] I guess I understood now anyway, cat just didn't receive the file for some reason [19:24] thank you all [19:25] slowlearn11: mv \- something_usefull [19:25] slowlearn11: cat is receiving file names [19:25] slowlearn11: and your filename is called "-" [19:25] slowlearn11: so the command will be "cat -" [19:25] slowlearn11: and that can not work [19:26] iceroot_: wouldnt you need to escape the character? [19:26] slowlearn11: there was something to tell bash commands that everything after this string is not a paramter anymore but i can not remember what it was [19:26] iceroot_: what is the way to properly tell cat to get the file without naming it ? [19:26] ActionParsnip: even cat \- is failing [19:26] slowlearn11: ? [19:26] iceroot_: try a double slash, may work [19:26] slowlearn11: you ALWAYS have to give cat the filename [19:27] ActionParsnip: but he is searching for a generic way "for a in *" [19:27] ActionParsnip: imo there was something like command -- foo [19:27] ActionParsnip: so foo is never a parameter, but "cat -- -" is not working [19:28] iceroot_: try: mv \\- new [19:29] surely there is a way to say something like "cat ($f)" (not real syntax, invented) to get the file to go through and be read ? [19:29] ActionParsnip: yeah the mv is also working with \- foo but not cat, that is what i was walking about, sorry [19:29] slowlearn11: sure, for a in *;do cat "$a"; done [19:30] slowlearn11: never ever call a file "-" [19:30] cat -- * already works for me, I don't see the issue [19:30] iceroot_: could pipe it to: tee /dev/null | grep [19:30] slowlearn11: sure, for a in *;do cat -- "$a"; done [19:30] iceroot_: as it wil also output to stdoutn:-) [19:31] neither for a in *;do cat "$a"; done nor cat -- * work [19:31] iceroot_: for a in *;do cat -- "$a"; done either [19:32] slowlearn11: what is wrong about renaming "-" to something usefull?

Boo. Try asking in #bash too [19:35] slowlearn11, doesnt "./${f}" work? [19:36] I haven't followed the discussion Fyi.

[19:49] Why am I unable to increase /dev/sda8? http://oi59.tinypic.com/z4xt3.jpg [19:50] yofun: because there's no unallocated space before or after it... [19:50] rww: how can I fix the issue? [19:50] yofun: is sda8 unmounted? [19:50] by creating unallocated space before or after it [19:51] No, im on a live disk. [19:51] live disk to increase sda8 [19:51] yofun: run: mount | grep sda8 ,do you get any output? [19:51] no output [19:52] yofun: if you mount it then unmount it, does it help? [19:52] Mounting doesn't have anything to do with the fact that there isn't any unallocated space for yofun to resize their partition into. [19:52] ActionParsnip: cant seem to mount it via gparted. [19:53] Yea, I was thinking how is this related. [19:53] yofun: use terminal then, or nautilus.... [19:53] how do I move the space around? si I can increase sda8 [19:53] rww: oic [19:53] yofun: do you know what's on /dev/sda9? [19:54] I do not. [19:54] how can I mount it and look? [19:54] would probably be a good idea to find out, and then either delete it or move it to the end of that unallocated space after it [19:55] then you'll have about 87GB right after /dev/sda8, and can resize [19:55] 89** [19:55] how do I mount sda9? [19:55] yofun: sudo mount /dev/sda9 /path/of/choice [19:56] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda9 sda9 [19:56] mount: mount point sda9 does not exist [19:56] Afternoon all.

[19:56] It seems to be a unkown table [19:56] that means the mount point you're trying to mount to doesn't exist [19:56] it needs to be a directory that exists... [19:56] BillyBob73: what is the issue? [19:56] oh [19:57] Got the install done yesterday added some stuff chrome heart got Wi-Fi going etc [19:57] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [19:57] then it doesn't know what it is either.

I am not a proponent of circumventing security by using "autologin" . [20:40] I don't recall the login ring during install [20:40] BillyBob73: I think it asks on first boot when it first tries to use the keyring not during install [20:40] Not a problem really [20:41] yeah I just deal with it.. have to type my password once is not a huge deal, think it needs it for the wifi connection on boot, otherwise usually something soon after boot [20:42] It appears it installed fine but I've never seen this error before [20:42] Idk.

After the install I shrank it to 5GB, moved it to another harddrive (gparted copy and paste feature), bootet it once and then grew it to 50GB again. When looking at it from another install with gparted everything seemed and seems okay (i.e. 50GB partition/5GB used). When I look at it with gparted form the running installation, it shows almost 50GB used of 50. df says almost 5GB of 5 used.

[21:08] join #ltsb [21:08] thank you iceroot_ [21:08] ok but what about that patch? what i must do with it ? how and where to safe it please [21:08] deamosreapos: How raspian handles startup scripts is probably different than how ubuntu handles startup scripts. raspian is not related to ubuntu. [21:08] join #ltsp [21:08] which would be better to just shut down the pc or to (using say CNTR c to shut down the distribution upgrade program? [21:08] http://unices.bitdefender.com/2011/11/01/bitdefender-antivirus-scanner-for-unices/ [21:09] raspian is related to ubuntu only in the sense that they both are derived from Debian [21:09] Klystron: If he were running ubuntu, we might be able to help him, but for OSX he needs to go to Apple support. [21:09] unices, heh [21:09] I know but its a debian based question not ubuntu nor raspbian [21:09] http://pastebin.com/49sL3wtF === arleslie[AFK] is now known as arleslie [21:10] How can we solve this with ubuntu if it was that ? :) [21:10] deamosreapos: If the IRC channel isn't responsive you'll probably get better results from user forums or mailing lists. [21:10] deamosreapos: Like I said, different OS, different startup system. [21:10] deamosreapos: It probably uses sysvinit rather than systemd. [21:12] please will you spend just one min with my issue [21:12] Raspian is a modified Debian Wheezy. Maybe look at Debian Wheezy if you can't find dox enough for raspian [21:13] yup would go with Klystron's advice here deamosreapos [21:13] 238 people in #raspbian [21:13] So the multisystem boot on did 50% of the job [21:13] I run raspbian too for some things but for support for that OS I'd look to the base OS instructions probably your best bet [21:13] deamosreapos: ^ [21:14] thanks :) Ill try that ^^ [21:14] user-pc@Android:~ > bdgui [21:14] stevie: there might be some software equalizers built into Amarok or other audio players, I know winamp used to have one [21:14] *** Error in `bdgui': free(): invalid pointer: 0xb6c69478 *** [21:14] Aborted [21:15] user-pc__: you'll need to get support from the company/support people who supplied the script, giving them this error will probably help too and give them info from, lsb_release -a and uname -a [21:16] they just did help me - they give me a script but i need help here how to do it [21:16] http://pastebin.com/BWYj7kgd [21:17] stevie: Clementine is a great mediaplayer based on Amarok but better.

Otherwise replace "./" with the proper path to it. I know a lot of people call "sh" to run a script but I get by without that usually. [21:25] user-pc: do you know how to use the terminal program? [21:25] bonk... good point [21:26] yes i know how to use terminal but if i copy the script then what? [21:26] where should i past it? [21:26] nowhere, why would you want to use some weird av [21:27] user-pc__: the script has to have execute permissions set. [21:28] user-pc__: see the chmod command or use a GUI file manager to change permissions. [21:28] yes i know but where i put that script? [21:29] No, the script does not need execute permissions if it executed with sh as shown.

[21:56] user-pc: I can't be much help on troubleshooting the script itself sorry to say. [21:57] perhaps others in here can. [21:59] Never mind i just send the error output to the BD hope they will deall wit it since the problem is already known for 4 years :) thank you for your time and help enjoy the day :) [22:00] yw [22:01] good luck [22:01] :) [22:01] same to you [22:01] tks [22:04] wafflejock: no [22:04] I cant do this [22:05] motaka2: you can install gdebi installer [22:05] motaka2: sudo apt-get install gdebi [22:05] wafflejock: doing that [22:05] motaka2: then run, sudo gdebi somepackage.deb [22:06] wafflejock, [22:07] wafflejock: What was this doing? I ran this before: and nothing changed [22:07] sudo dpkg -i /home/donkarlo/Desktop/teamviewer_linux.deb [22:07] motaka2: yeah that should have been fine what do you mean by nothing changed? you can't run teamviewer from the dash? [22:08] motaka2: you can use dpkg -L somepackage to see where the files are extracted to from that package [22:08] wafflejock: sorry I think it is installed [22:08] motaka2: yeah sometimes the dash takes a minute to get the updated desktop files for some reason (er at least I know that happened with the K start menu sometimes) [22:09] wafflejock: Is teamviwer something dangerous? [22:09] Hello people, when i type cwd in terminal, i get the following message [22:09] No command 'cwd' found, did you mean: Command 'cdw' from package 'cdw' (universe) Command 'cwm' from package 'swap-cwm' (universe) Command 'pwd' from package 'coreutils' (main) Command 'xwd' from package 'x11-apps' (main) Command 'gwd' from package 'geneweb' (universe) Command 'cw' from package 'cw' (universe) cwd: command not found [22:09] Griffin, that looks oke. [22:09] motaka2: not really... people don't suggest third party installs because they won't be updated automatically with security fixes, and since we don't have the source there's no way to really fix underlying problems if they're found, I haven't heard anything particularly good or bad about Teamviewer itself [22:10] Griffin: Maybe you want "pwd" or "echo $PWD" (Present Working Directory) [22:10] wafflejock: thank you [22:10] motaka2: I use VNC viewer through an SSH tunnel when I want a remote GUI personally, but gotta use what works [22:10] doesnt cwd stand for current working directory [22:11] wafflejock: someone wants me to teach her Git by teamviewer, i scare she get's access to my files [22:11] Griffin: What did you antcipate as a result of 'cwd' ? === Shibboleet is now known as Guest74189 [22:12] not sure why it is not standard === Guest74189 is now known as Bobby_Tables [22:12] my mistake, i have recently installed ubuntu and was learning commands at the terminal. And i mistaken pwd to cwd [22:12] Thank you for your help [22:13] motaka2: yeah can't say really but I think teamviewer is legit software, if you want to keep it safe you might want to just use Google hangouts so it's all locked in the browser [22:13] hi. i have a headphone jack which is apparently broken; it continually switches in and out and therefore causes the sound from the main jack to cut in and out [22:13] i would like to completely disable the headphone jack, but i'm not sure how to do that [22:13] Griffin: Help is what we do, Welcome to the world of ubuntu. [22:13] Thank you again for the welcome [22:13] i tried pactl list short links, but it doesn't show up [22:13] motaka2: I don't think hangouts lets you do remote control but you can remotely view [22:13] xy86: laptop? [22:13] no desktop [22:13] wafflejock, [22:14] xy86: directly on mobo? [22:14] xy86: it is a jack on the case which is is connected by wire to mainboard [22:14] And also could anyone help me on how to install SFML [22:14] the port directly on the mainboard works fine [22:14] probably just cut the wire, then [22:14] wafflejock: did you help me w/ lockscreen issue last time? [22:14] i mean sudo apt-get then what [22:15] expunge: lol, that's too obvious now that you mention it; thanks [22:15] Griffin: Define 'SFML" for me. [22:15] xy86: is it stable if you plug a jack into it? [22:16] its a C++ library [22:16] expunge: not really, i have to turn the plug around and around to get it into the perfect position to be consistent [22:16] linxcat: maybe I'm in and out of the Ubuntu chat kinda live in the AngularJS chat, what's up [22:16] i think it is just a bad port on the case [22:16] http://www.sfml-dev.org/ [22:16] xy86: hrmm, sounds like just a bad contact [22:17] xy86: what if you wrap the jack in a bit of aluminium foil and smush it in there [22:17] "super fml"? =P [22:17] bbl [22:18] Griffin: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-linux.php === Rallias is now known as NotRallias [22:19] linman32: are you the one who installed gdm and it started working or the other guy? [22:19] the other guy, right now i am laughing at myself lol :P [22:19] wafflejock: maybe other guy. think installed xubuntu. [22:20] anyways thanks for pointing it :) [22:20] hehe no problem yeah it all gets fuzzy in here so many similar problems [22:21] hey guys, is there a good resource to learn about ubuntu indicator development? [22:21] wafflejock: the lock screen won't let me in after 10 or so locks. can't type in password field b/c there is none [22:22] Griffin: ^^ "libsfml-doc - Simple and Fast Multimedia Library - Documentation" ya want to read it ? -> sudo apt-get install libsfml-doc<- that readme should then ve located in '/user/share/doc/' . [22:22] linman32: k yeah I recall a bit now, so you're okay most of the time but after 10 or so locks the system was acting wonky? is that right? [22:22] inder_gt: google turned this up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators probably good to know which environment you're targetting they probably vary [22:23] thanks for the linke wafflejock, i already saw that one, but is there an actual api doc or anything like that for this? [22:23] link* [22:24] wafflejock: yes. 2nd to last: lock will only ask for password on one screen. system acts wonky; last lock screen: won't let me in at all [22:25] wafflejock: acts wonky by not being able to find applications easily. takes minutes to open word document, etc [22:25] how do i find the shell script that was used to make nginx for 12.04? [22:26] yeukhon: Shell script? [22:26] rypervenche: well the commands used to compile the nginx package [22:26] linman32: yeah when it's in that locking up state would be good to check out the system monitor and see what process is going crazy [22:26] i've my own command but not working very well. i would like to find the one debian / ubuntu is using [22:27] yeukhon: you can grab the source using apt-get source packagename then see if they include build instructions in the README [22:27] wafflejock: okay let me try that [22:27] inder_gt: yeah dunno [22:27] yeukhon: There isn't a script that is run. I would use the source deb package and make the changes that you need there then build it. [22:28] wafflejock: first glance trying that, nothing seemed to stand out. after i killed gnome, it logged me out and starting working fine agian === rockerball is now known as rockerball|away [22:31] linman32: yeah not sure would need to start looking at logs, you can pastebin your dmesg output, or do cat /var/log/syslog and see if anything stands out === AlphaBeta is now known as PsiOmega [22:31] ah i see so the source that was downaloded via apt-get source is the exact source used to compile. now i just need to try [22:31] brb [22:31] yeukhon: yup gl [22:32] wafflejock, === NotRallias is now known as Rallias === ubuntu is now known as Guest42663 [22:35] wafflejock: thanks i extracted the debian.tar.gz and found rules fille [22:35] i think that's the one i've to edit to recompile [22:35] adding additional modules [22:36] yeukhon: cool yeah haven't played with ngnix myself just apache and lucily most everything I've needed I just had to enable a module here or there [22:36] luckily* [22:36] :)) [22:36] i hope it works. i will let ya know. sounds good. glad i came here first [22:37] I've tried to compile apache before and it worked but was on a 200MHz Sparc processor with 256MB of RAM so it took like a day or two [22:37] not my favorite time :| [22:37] but yeah let me know how it goes [22:37] oh i remember those machines. when i was in high school school would dump a dozen of them every year. [22:37] :) [22:37] wafflejock: http://pastebin.com/mdHcu0dt [22:38] yeah I got one as a NAS here, it's kinda terrible but it does do the job of mirroring data so I keep it [22:38] that was ubuntu 8.04 era… anyhow [22:38] yeukhon: it's running debian Sarge some old version [22:39] exit [22:39] linman32: well looks like some postfix config problems but that shouldn't be causing the system to lock up just some undeliverable mails [22:40] linman32: can install pastebinit to make it easier to share stuff, sudo apt-get install pastebinit [22:40] wafflejock, [22:41] wafflejock: it is installed now [22:42] hi, http://pastebin.com/2BxTTn0H, does this mean that my 2.5GHZ processor only runs on 1.4 ghz?

[22:56] my apt-get/aptitude is stuck Waiting for headers... how can I see which server it's waiting on ? [22:57] hey commandline people, why does it take so long to learn stuff? [22:58] because there is so much you can do [22:58] odd_nob: sounds like a personal problem :), really though there's just a lot to know, and the more you know the more you realize what there is to know [22:58] I mean, I caught myself devoting the whole day on reading documentation and it's still as if I'm nowhere. [22:59] odd_nob: you just have to use it I think (at least true for me) the more I do the more I learn [22:59] hanging around this chat helps too [23:00] odd_nob: A day ? I have spent 50 years reading documentation. and I am still doing catch up ! [23:00] haha [23:00] wafflejock: but aren't you afraid of breaking stuff when just trying stuff out? [23:00] it is because you have to read alot . what i did i am just using one theoretical system where you print all the info and then roll it into small rolls and stik it up you stay overnight and walla! [23:00] you know everything [23:00] odd_nob: it's good to use virtual machines when you feel you mightbreak everything [23:01] odd_nob: you get comfortable eventually [23:01] odd_nob: nice thing about VMs is you can duplicate them before you do something stupid to them and you don't have to panic when you kill the VM [23:02] wafflejock: what VM are you using? [23:02] odd_nob: I did a setup video here for people looking to get into web-dev on how to install Ubuntu in a VirtualBox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNbsCTFrAA [23:02] ah I guess that answered it there for me :p [23:03] wafflejock: thanks. i upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04. then had to reinstall 14.04. i think after the reinstall/install of 14.04 it started failing [23:04] so... im not show how to explain this, on the ubuntu flash screen theres a message saying something like this "mount point "x" is not ready or found S to skip or M for manual" how do I remove these auto mounts? They are incorrect [23:06] yofun: check your /etc/fstab file [23:06] yofun: terminal commands -> sudo fdisk -lu . sudo blkid . cat /ect/fstab <- make sure all UUID's agree. [23:07] Alright, so Its trying to mount like my USB port and windows, how do I remove those auto mounts? [23:08] yofun, Is windows on the internal HD? [23:08] Beldar: no [23:08] yofun, So all on the usb? [23:08] no on hard drive [23:09] yofun, Which one? [23:09] /dev/sda8 [23:09] and where is it? [23:09] * cynicallemon now confused [23:09] yofun, which is an internal HD right? [23:09] None... [23:09] Windows and ubuntu are on different tables. [23:10] yofun, Do you know the difference between and internal and external HD? [23:10] Eariler I was messing around with a few things, and now it trys to auto mount upon start up [23:10] Yes..... BOTH systems are on my hard drive. [23:10] slt tout le monde es lustres que je n est pas utilisé l irc pour changer de chanel c est par ou ? [23:10] yofun, Inside the computer correct? [23:10] Yes.... [23:10] yofun, That is internal. [23:11] !fr | freeland [23:11] freeland: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[23:11] merci :) [23:11] freeland: ☻ [23:11] And its trying to mount a USB port. that isnt filled [23:12] yofun: what if you go to system settings -> details -> Removable media and tick "never promt or start programs on media insertion" ? [23:12] yofun, open fstab gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and if you have the sda8 there check the uuid's with sudo blkid comment it out with a # === eeeeee is now known as eeee [23:14] Alright let restart and test it out. === zzz_Ridley is now known as Ridley5 [23:20] * Beldar notes the irc is like the abbot and costello who's on first joke at times [23:20] Perfect [23:24] yofun, hits one over the fence and crosses home. [23:24] linman32: have you tried with any other DE like using xubuntu packages instead of Gnome? [23:25] linman32: sorry can't see anything in the log that is obvious [23:26] Any ubuntu developers in the room? [23:27] linman32: looks like lots of these nl_recvmsgs errors some bluetooth failures and postman config problems but nothing that points to a system lock up [23:27] wafflejock: I enjoyed that video, I don't have time to watch it all, but from what I've seen it's pretty in-depth. [23:27] cimbakahn: I'm a developer who uses Ubuntu :) not sure about ubuntu devs in the room though [23:28] I hope I'm soon to be a developer :) [23:28] odd_nob: cool glad you find it useful, know it was long it's a common complaint if I do more tut vidoes in the future I'll try to make them more bit sized [23:28] I am on Linuxmint 17 Qiana Xfce. minetest 0.4.10 was released. Do you think they can update it in Synaptic? Also pcsxr 1.9.93 was released. Do you think they can update it in Synaptic? [23:28] ciao [23:28] bite* [23:28] wafflejock: no it's ok, just make sure you divide it into either smaller videos or just add timestamps like you did with this video [23:29] I was told by the Linuxmint channel that i had to ask here. [23:32] cimbakahn: minetest 0.4.10 is in Ubuntu Utopic (not released yet), so whichever version of Mint takes packages from Utopic (or higher) will include it [23:33] Utopic is 14.10? [23:33] wafflejock: yes [23:33] cimbakahn: pcsxr 1.9.93 is not yet in Ubuntu or Debian. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739947 for details [23:33] Debian bug 739947 in pcsxr "pcsxr: Debian package version does not match PCSXR version" [Wishlist,Open] [23:34] Do you mean ubuntu's new version us goin to be called Utopic? [23:34] cimbakahn: no, Utopic is the development codename for the release that will presumably be called 14.10 [23:34] ooing [23:34] going [23:35] Incidentally, this is all in packages.ubuntu.com and packages.debian.org, which one would expect the creators of derivatives to be familiar with, but I guess Mint's support channel is not. [23:37] So, you are saying the new minetest will be included in Utopic, but you are not sure about pcsxr? [23:37] cimbakahn: Correct about minetest. pcsxr will not be updated in Ubuntu until it's updated in Debian. It has not yet been updated in Debian for the reason discussed in the bug report I linked. [23:39] (And it's unlikely to be in Utopic regardless of when it's updated in Debian) === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [23:40] Ok, TYVM! i Appreciate a straight foreward answer. [23:42] Bye! [23:43] hi [23:43] * wafflejock you say goodbye and I say hello [23:43] wafflejock: beatles ? :D [23:43] hehe yup tune just popped in my head [23:44] hello kuldd [23:44] I love working in the dash, but I do feel like I am not making the most of it. Is there a resource or tutorial I can use to become an expert? [23:44] netlar: you mean in the terminal or in the dash? I didn't know you could work in the dash aside from launching things (I'm fairly Unity ignorant though) [23:45] good start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:45] In the dash, anyone else? lol [23:45] I have windows 7. I want to install unbuntu from windows and once installed it would give me at the boot time a option to boot from either. I do not want to create multiple partition. I've downloaded iso is that the right version? [23:45] Not the terminal [23:46] netlar: what do you want to do from the dash? also what can you do from the dash? [23:46] kuldd: you will need multiple partitions anyway [23:46] okay can you tell me how to do it [23:46] kuldd: the installer will walk you through the process [23:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [23:47] wafflejock: lots of searching, apps, files, pictures === Madran is now known as Adran [23:47] if I want to deinstall ubuntu then will i be just doing it from ubuntu [23:47] from windows i mean [23:47] Goodness nevermind [23:47] netlar: that's all the dash is meant to do from what I understand [23:47] No one knows what I mean by Dash? [23:48] netlar: well you just don't use it for anything from searching... we're talking https://www.google.com/search?q=unity+dash&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&imgil=afNyQ2jlBeZ3sM%253A%253BvMISltJ0V20qTM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.omgubuntu.co.uk%25252F2011%25252F03%25252Fa-gnome-menu-style-unity-dash&source=iu&usg=__xLjxGuupJkVVpm3YohCVy2px_Jg%3D&sa=X&ei=wnn6U5nuMNXkoATgxYBQ&ved=0CCgQ9QEwAw&biw=1920&bih=992 [23:48] sorry huge URL [23:48] wafflejock: yes thta is it [23:49] Dash is a shell like Bash === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan [23:49] netlar: yeah there's nothing advanced to it aside from some preferences you can change from what I've seen [23:49] netlar, i think you want Bash scripting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting [23:49] redwalk: Dash is also the term I've seen used for the Unity launcher start menu search screen... maybe there's a more appropriate name [23:49] kuldd: There used to be "WUBI" that is no longer supported. Sounds like what you had in mind . But, No Longer Supported . [23:49] true [23:49] actually didn't know about the terminal Dash though so good to know === xubuntu is now known as Guest7404 [23:50] Bash Dash, oh well guess there is no differce [23:50] netlar, that would be lesson 1 [23:50] Bashin-om, (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2142325/install-ubuntu-and-keep-windows.html) - i was looking at option number 2 in this site. [23:50] Dude, not talking about working in terminal [23:51] Not command line , in the gui desktop I am talking about [23:52] kuldd: or option 3, download virtualbox and run ubuntu as a virtual machine inside win7 [23:53] are you saying option 2 is no longer supported or an option [23:53] kuldd: Yup, option 2 is WUBI ... As advised, no longer has support. ( but can be done in Windows 7, but still - no support ) . [23:53] netlar: if you right click on something in the dash it'll give you more information, dunno if you already know that though [23:54] eeee: yes, did know that, I did have a question about the filters [23:54] kuldd: the windows based installer (wubi) is what they say support has been dropped for, during the regular install it should still show you that windows is installed and show a suggested partitioning [23:54] eeee: I select different ones, but when I go back to the dash they are not selected still [23:54] would it delete my existing windows or files [23:55] kuldd: no not if it detects windows and shows you that it's repartitioning it will just use empty space to create a new partition for Linux, that said if you're completely new to Linux you might want to just try it out in VirtualBox first to avoid modifying your system in any serious way [23:56] kuldd: if you find you like it and want to install as a bootable option to have it perform better then you can setup the dual boot option [23:56] Nevermind, think I just figured that out [23:57] kuldd: first 20 minutes or so of this video walks through doing the install in virtualbox from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNbsCTFrAA if you want to give that a shot first [23:57] ok thanks [23:57] kuldd: I typically install various distros in VirtualBox just to see how various projects are coming along, np [23:57] and got my Windows 8 in there when I need it [23:57] eeee: Like I see a filter for manpages [23:58] and code [23:59] Also I would be helpfull to know about the sources and what categories it uses
