| netlar | snotch: you talking about the launcher panel? | 00:01 |
| eeee | netlar: the sources are pretty self-explanatory | 00:02 |
| eeee | netlar: to be honest it's the first time i've used it | 00:02 |
| eeee | you write the search, and then click which source and it shows the results | 00:02 |
| snotch | netlar: u want cartoon instructions? | 00:02 |
| netlar | snotch: Stop it, do not be like that | 00:03 |
| netlar | Anyway, someone in a bad mood | 00:04 |
| eeee | netlar: if you want it to always search specific sources, you can select them first | 00:04 |
| eeee | just noticed that | 00:04 |
| eeee | (search field has to be empty) | 00:05 |
| netlar | eeee: Well I will just keep experimenting with it | 00:05 |
| snotch | I some times | 00:06 |
| wafflejock | hehe netlar think we just can't point you somewhere like you said no single clear doc that just focuses on the Dash, it's a nice to have for those who like it but don't think anyone has taken the time to do a full on document it's usage... if you're a heavy user perhaps it's something you could post online at least as a starting point to get other to contribute thoughts/info on it | 00:06 |

| jcoglan | HikaruBG: fyi I installed gdm and have so far not had a problem logging in. Previously my login screen on 14.04 would block keyboard and mouse input. However, locking the screen and suspending the machine still use the original login screen, which I am told is Ubuntu’s clone lookalike of the lightdm login, and that consistently fails and I have to hard-reboot. | 00:20 |
| eeee | HikaruBG: you might have to do it from the terminal, sudo service lightdm stop | 00:21 |
| eeee | install --reinstall , then sudo service lightdm start | 00:21 |
| jcoglan | Acutually, I mispoke, screen lock used something that looks like lightdm but it works, whereas resuming from suspend I’ve never been able to log in. | 00:21 |
| HikaruBG | I am on it eeee. thanks. I will let you know what is going on in a sec | 00:22 |
| Glycan | TJ-: doesn't work | 00:22 |

| HikaruBG | eeee, same thing after stop/reinstall/start of lightdm | 00:23 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: it's a bug. Use a PPA to upgrade | 00:23 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, which ppa to use for upgrade? | 00:23 |
| HikaruBG | I have all updated and upgraded | 00:23 |

| Glycan | and does nothing | 00:24 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, how to see which version of unity i currently have? | 00:25 |
| OerHeks | scratchy, proposing a ppa, tell him it is not supported here, and i posted a solution for some users > rm -rf .compiz-1 : http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears | 00:25 |
| OerHeks | HikaruBG, ^ ^ | 00:25 |
| jcoglan | scratchy: Does this mean that Ubuntu 14.04 is not going to fix this issue, or is PPA a temporary solution? | 00:27 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: I have ati graphics card | 00:27 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: do u have ati graphics card | 00:27 |

| eeee | OerHeks: his issue is with lightdm | 00:38 |
| eeee | ( before he logs in theres no window for logging in ) | 00:39 |
| OerHeks | no, after logging in | 00:39 |
| scratchy | OerHeks: he cannot run the gui for compiz. He needs to install unity 2d. Its to much | 00:40 |
| eeee | oh, i thought he said something else | 00:40 |
| eeee | HikaruBG: try OerHeks suggestion | 00:41 |
| HikaruBG | thanks guys, I will try OerHeks suggestion then | 00:41 |

| eeee | that'll reset unity | 00:44 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 00:44 |
| eeee | HikaruBG: just to be sure, cause you're saying no manager screen, you're talking about after you login right? | 00:45 |
| eeee | meaning you get a manager screen, then you login, but theres no launcher or anything right? | 00:45 |

| HikaruBG | it says Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0" | 00:47 |
| eeee | TJ-: unity-greeter ? | 00:47 |
| scratchy | Everybody shut up for a moment. | 00:47 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 00:47 |
| TJ- | eeee: lightdm-greeter mostly | 00:47 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: Did this happen after you installed nvidia proprietary driver | 00:48 |
| TJ- | eeee: on KDE its lightdm-kde-greeter | 00:48 |
| HikaruBG | yes scratchy, AFTER that | 00:48 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, but I have installed the NVIDIA drivers long ago | 00:48 |
| HikaruBG | and it was running fine | 00:48 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 00:49 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: Did you just upgrade ubuntu then to a newer version. | 00:49 |
| HikaruBG | yes | 00:50 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: is that when the problem started | 00:50 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8135980/ | 00:51 |
| OerHeks | i have seen this before just after a regular update with kernel | 00:51 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X" | 00:51 |
| HikaruBG | OerHeks, this is exactly how it have to be happened... | 00:51 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, I have no idea what is this means.... | 00:51 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: You've got a bad xorg.conf is my guess: "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 00:52 |
| OerHeks | loggin in: ctrl alt F1, then perform rm -rf .compiz-1 #logout & login again | 00:52 |
| HikaruBG | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8135983/ | 00:53 |
| TJ- | OerHeks: It's more fundamental than that; GLX is being shot down by bad config | 00:53 |
| HikaruBG | OerHeks, I will do it now | 00:53 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" | 00:53 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: And then "sudo service lightdm restart" | 00:54 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 00:54 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 00:54 |
| scratchy | sudo apt-get update | 00:55 |
| fridaynext | I have "rw" in my nfs share, but I can't write to the share - how do I enable the ability to write to it? | 00:55 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, it dodn't work backing up the xorg.conf and restarting the lightdm service | 00:55 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: That's fine, we're trying to reduce the possibilities. Show me "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" now we have a new one | 00:56 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 00:56 |
| HikaruBG | just a sec | 00:56 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: can you get into a terminal or command line | 00:56 |
| HikaruBG | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136028/ | 00:56 |
| scratchy | It's a nvidia problem. | 00:57 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, yes | 00:57 |
| inder_gt | can any1 please tell me what the better way to do indicator applets is, pygtk or pygi | 00:57 |
| scratchy | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | 00:57 |
| scratchy | sudo apt-get update | 00:57 |

| scratchy | Then reboot | 00:57 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, CTRL+ALT+F1 and also SSH from my laptop work | 00:57 |
| TJ- | scratchy: Installing a PPA is *not* the way to fix an existing issue. First, sort out the existing driver fault | 00:57 |
| scratchy | Put them commands in then reboot. Problem solved HikaruBG | 00:58 |
| HikaruBG | OK scratchy I am doing it. and will let you know in a bit | 00:58 |
| scratchy | TJ-: Yes it is. He wants a working system | 00:58 |
| odsent | hey there, im having a keyboard problem | 01:00 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, it didn't solve it | 01:02 |
| OerHeks | y | 01:02 |
| odsent | i just got a new keyboard, meaning i have to go through the old tradition of rearranging the keys for dvorak | 01:02 |
| HikaruBG | same thing | 01:02 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: The problem is you've got a manually installed nvidia driver version 331.67, rather than one of the Ubuntu-packaged drivers, and the manually installed driver hasn't correctly installed the core GLX X server driver | 01:02 |
| odsent | but the damn F key doesn't fit | 01:02 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, if I reinstall the NVIDIA driver will it fix it? | 01:03 |
| HikaruBG | it wirked when I first installed it? | 01:03 |
| HikaruBG | worked* | 01:03 |
| odsent | help plz | 01:03 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: u need to install gnome 3 then. Unity is trashed on your system so you can finally get the compiz gui working | 01:03 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, how to see which version of gnome i currently have? | 01:04 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: The best way to tackle this is to first de-install the manual nvidia package, and then remove any stray ubuntu packages that may conflict so the system only has the open-source nouveau driver in place, *then* install the official ubuntu package "nvidia-331-updates" | 01:04 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: ubuntu does not install gnome it uses a pig called unity. | 01:04 |
| TJ- | scratchy: There is nothing wrong with Unity, please don't give out misinformation. The problem is clear in the Xorg log-file: GLX driver not loaded | 01:05 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Let's first discover what Ubuntu/nvidia packages there may be installed: "dpkg -l 'nvidia*' | pastebinit" | 01:05 |
| HikaruBG | OK just a sec TJ- | 01:06 |
| eeee | HikaruBG: can you please ls -l /etc/X11 | pastebinit | 01:06 |
| HikaruBG | I went ahead and started reinstalling the NVIDIA 331 driver... maybe stupid of me, but let me finish that and I will do everything you guys say | 01:06 |
| scratchy | TJ-: get him running so he can run the gui for compiz. Tell him how to install gnome fall back 2d and how to log in with it at log in screen | 01:07 |
| HikaruBG | scratchy, so you suggest I don't use unity anymore, but GNOME? | 01:08 |
| odsent | hhelp | 01:08 |
| HikaruBG | isn't that possible using tasksel ? | 01:08 |
| odsent | what is a good channel for general techh support? | 01:08 |
| HikaruBG | reinstall completed - now let's see results | 01:08 |
| OerHeks | TJ-, i wonder about his kernel 3.13.0-35-generic, as my current kernel is 3.13.0-34 | 01:08 |
| somsip | !alis | odsent | 01:08 |
| ubottu | odsent: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 01:08 |
| wafflejock | odsent: what kind of help are you looking for it sounds like you have a hardware issue with rearranging your keys? | 01:09 |
| odsent | yea | 01:09 |
| odsent | its taking me a long time to type so bear with me | 01:09 |
| OerHeks | try ##hardware | 01:09 |
| HikaruBG | OK guys - after NVIDIA Drivers reinstall the result is: When I login - it displays the background image AND the desktop icons, but still no taskbar | 01:10 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, I am with you again | 01:10 |
| odsent | you know how on your QWERTY keyboard, the J and F keys have the tiny ridge on them? | 01:10 |
| scratchy | http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-gnome-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-14-04/ | 01:11 |
| HikaruBG | uninstall the NVIDIA driver say you? | 01:11 |
| odsent | on my logitech keyboard, those keys don't fit into other spots | 01:11 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136123/ | 01:11 |
| odsent | this world is not dvorak friendly | 01:12 |
| OerHeks | odent that is beyond the scope of this channel, try ##hardware | 01:12 |
| HikaruBG | check the result of the dpkg -l 'nvidia*' | 01:12 |
| wafflejock | odsent: hehe yeah I don't think so... but seems worth it to just buy a dvorak keyboard anyhow if that's your preference, why spend the time fiddling with keys? either way as OerHeks said you'll have more luck if you need help on the hardware in a channel focused on it | 01:12 |
| scratchy | HikaruBG: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-gnome-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-14-04/ | 01:13 |
| HikaruBG | Thanks scratchy, I will look into that, just let's see what TJ- will say about the nvidia packages | 01:13 |
| TJ- | OerHeks: Yes, It's from trusty-proposed | 01:14 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: sorry about that - had to visit the bathroom :) | 01:15 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, "The best way to tackle this is to first de-install the manual nvidia package, and then remove any stray ubuntu packages that may conflict so the system only has the open-source nouveau driver in place, *then* install the official ubuntu package "nvidia-331-updates"" How do you propose we do that? | 01:15 |
| HikaruBG | sudo apt-get purge nvidia-common ? | 01:15 |
| HikaruBG | sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | 01:15 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Well, the good news is there aren't currently any Ubuntu/nvidia packages so as long as we can cleanly remove the nvidia package you installed manually, it should be plain sailing to install the Ubuntu package afterwards | 01:16 |
| HikaruBG | TJ, so purge nvidia * should do it? | 01:16 |
| kerrick | Is upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS supported? | 01:17 |
| kerrick | not mentioned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 01:17 |
| veryhappy | kerrick: would say it | 01:17 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: No, as I said, there are no official nvidia packages to remove. Just the package you installed manually | 01:17 |
| eeee | kerrick: yes, sudo do-release-upgrade will get you there | 01:17 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Is the nvidia-331.67 installer ".run" file in your "~/Downloads/" directory? | 01:17 |
| hesco | Does ubuntu have a scheme for providing consistent uid and gids to application users? Or do they get assigned in the order in which they were created? | 01:17 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, i just ran the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.67.run file from the terminal and it installed it | 01:18 |
| HikaruBG | is there a script to uninstall it? | 01:18 |
| scratchy | TJ-: big chance header files are not installed. | 01:18 |
| veryhappy | hey guys, today i made an installation of ubuntu 14.04 on an external drive, unfortunately due to the installation type that i find more clean (minimal system) i just have command tools to get me into the wireless network (wpa), this is not my home place, i'm in vacations now. | 01:18 |
| kerrick | eeee, thanks | 01:18 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK, go to the directory that contains that file, then you need to do "sudo ./ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.67.run --uninstall" | 01:19 |
| hesco | Lost my connection, so trying this again: Does ubuntu have a scheme for providing consistent uid and gids to application users? Or do they get assigned in the order in which they were created? | 01:19 |
| TJ- | scratchy: kernel headers are always installed, to support DKMS; do you mean some other headers? | 01:19 |
| scratchy | TJ-: use wild cards. Multiple drivers he installed. | 01:20 |
| malachi_constant | Hi all. I have an HP Proliant DL320 Gen8 v2 with ubuntu installed, and the damned thing will not take an IP address. | 01:20 |
| malachi_constant | I mean, I can assign one statically, but the link says NO-CARRIER even though the link light is lit on both sides. | 01:20 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, uninstall is done | 01:20 |
| HikaruBG | now reboot or install the new packages? | 01:21 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK, now lets do a search for any stray or unexpected nvidia versions, too | 01:21 |
| scratchy | TJ-: not true. Headers we're a bug concerning nvidia | 01:21 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, ok let's do it! :) how? :) | 01:21 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: "sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -type f -name 'nvidia*' " | 01:21 |
| HikaruBG | OK thanks | 01:21 |
| HikaruBG | /lib/modules/3.13.0-35-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko | 01:22 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: hopefully you only get the 1 line? | 01:22 |
| kerrick | eeee, is the process any different for Ubuntu Gnome? | 01:22 |
| HikaruBG | yes - this is it | 01:22 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Next check - the X org drivers: "ls -d /usr/lib/nvidia*" | 01:24 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, one line again: "/usr/lib/nvidia" | 01:24 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Good :) | 01:25 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Now, last check before we install the Ubuntu/nvidia driver packages: "grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} | pastebinit" | 01:26 |
| Basketball | is it safe to tell someone on google plus my uname -a | 01:26 |
| HikaruBG | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136215/ | 01:27 |
| HikaruBG | sorry I have added these ppa-s that was proposed to me earlier | 01:27 |
| HikaruBG | do you want me remove them? | 01:27 |
| eeee | Basketball: only if it the second date ;) | 01:27 |
| eeee | *it's | 01:28 |
| Basketball | eeee, no random person asked for us to share it | 01:28 |
| Basketball | on g+ | 01:28 |

| odsent | f.lux turns you screen orange to help increase melatonin at night | 01:29 |
| odsent | i'm also wearing orange glasses | 01:29 |
| odsent | the word "orange" looks weird now | 01:29 |
| odsent | because i'm looking at it so much | 01:30 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: The xorg-edgers PPA is fine, don't worry. We're going to install the latest driver from there: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-343" | 01:31 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: this will cause a new kernel driver to be compiled by the DKMS system; after that we'll see if we can get it loaded without the system needing to be rebooted | 01:32 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, OK I am doing it | 01:32 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: whilst that is running, if you can get to a 2nd terminal, can you do "lsmod | grep 'nvidia '" and tell us the last number on the output line, if there is any output | 01:33 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: that's "lsmod | grep 'nvidia ' " ... note the space after the word "nvidia" | 01:34 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, no output lines on that | 01:35 |
| HikaruBG | I have noticed the cpase as well TJ- | 01:35 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, the install have completed | 01:35 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: no output means no existing nvidia driver stuck in memory, means we can easily load the new module | 01:35 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, I am listening | 01:35 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK ... "sudo modprobe nvidia-343" | 01:36 |
| HikaruBG | the sudo service lightdm start ? | 01:36 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 01:36 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Then "lsmod | grep nvidia" and you should see it listed | 01:36 |
| HikaruBG | my bad - immediately TJ- | 01:36 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, lsmod | grep 'nvidia ' -> nvidia 11108654 0 | 01:36 |
| netlar | another dumb question, is there an application that helps you change application a single application icon? | 01:36 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: looking good ... go ahead and start lightdm | 01:37 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 01:37 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: if it fails, then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 01:37 |
| eeee | Basketball: it displays info about your kernel, architecture, and hostname, and some other stuff | 01:38 |
| netlar | The icons for application shortcuts are always so blurry | 01:39 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, after I ran the lightdm, login screen appeared - I logged in, now I have the desktop icons and the background screen, also the myWeather ICdicator loaded and dosplayed it's message but no taskbar and no sidebar with launchpad icons | 01:39 |
| HikaruBG | basically - I have only the icons now, TJ- | 01:39 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, and eclipse starts .... when I start it from the desktop icon | 01:40 |
| eeee | netlar: no idea about the application, but you can change icons in /usr/share/applications/ the .desktop files contain the icon info | 01:40 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK, the main thing is the 3D accelerated driver is working which was the primary issue. | 01:40 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, OK, now how to understand what is not working? | 01:41 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Now lets ask OerHeks to come back in, he is knowledgeable on how to kick Unity/Compiz when they need reseting | 01:41 |
| netlar | eeee: Ok, I saw that, was hoping for a simpler way , thanks | 01:41 |
| HikaruBG | OerHeks, still here? :) | 01:41 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: This was the link OerHeks provided earlier: | 01:42 |
| TJ- | nvidia-173:i386 | 01:42 |
| apb1963 | I've NFS exported my root filesystem (from host/server blue to client orange), which of course includes /mnt/ which itself mounts a secondary drive; i.e. it's a different filesystem than / So orange sees the mount as /mnt/blue/. Although I'm able to see the directory tree under /mnt/blue/mnt/ which has additional subdirs (i.e. /mnt/blue/mnt/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/) the files that should be under ../h/ are not there. server is ubuntu 12.04, client is ubuntu 14.04 | 01:42 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: This was the link OerHeks provided earlier: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears | 01:42 |
| apb1963 | Hey TJ- :) Figured out my wireless problem. | 01:43 |
| HikaruBG | yep - TJ- do you want me to try this again? | 01:43 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Yes | 01:43 |
| TJ- | apb1963: Well done - what was it? | 01:44 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: firmware upgrade | 01:44 |
| HikaruBG | OK TJ- I have the manager screen running | 01:44 |
| HikaruBG | now what? | 01:44 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: it's even _almost_ stable. I get dropouts from time to time, but at least I'm on wireless. | 01:45 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Can you see the CCSM on tty7? | 01:45 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: According to the guide, its' then step 5: "Find the Unity plugin. Enable it." | 01:46 |
| Basketball | eeee, no personal info right | 01:46 |
| eeee | Basketball: no, other than your computer's hostname | 01:46 |
| TJ- | apb1963: firmware? oh wow, that isn't something you expect these days! | 01:46 |
| HikaruBG | yes, TJ- , i have done the steps of the screen and now rebooting | 01:46 |
| eeee | (basketball@hostname:~$) | 01:47 |
| eeee | whatever hostname is | 01:47 |

| eeee | what a lovely hostname | 01:47 |

| malachi_constant | Hi guys. I'm running 14.04 and I seem to not be able to get an ip address. | 01:48 |
| TJ- | apb1963: For the symptoms I am - being able to ping over wlan0 whilst eth0 was up, but lose it as soon as eth0 went down - that's crazy! | 01:48 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: Wired or Wireless network? | 01:48 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: Wired. | 01:48 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: Using Network Manager, or a manual entry in "/etc/network/interfaces" ? | 01:49 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: yeah, they were bizarre symptoms.... which is kind of what doesn't surprise me that it was firmware | 01:49 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: Manual entry, no network manager to my knowledge. | 01:49 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: Can you "pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces" ? | 01:49 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: Yessir. | 01:49 |
| Loshki | TJ-: eth0 going up and down will mess with the routing table, so it's plausible... | 01:50 |
| TJ- | Loshki: R.T. was fine, that was the weird part | 01:50 |
| TJ- | Loshki: We spend several hours diagnosing it last week | 01:50 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: http://pastebin.com/mZnGcYVQ | 01:51 |
| malachi_constant | The second part is stuff I commented out because it failed. | 01:52 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: syntax error: "iface dhcp inet dhcp" should be "iface em1 inet dhcp" | 01:52 |
| malachi_constant | Ooooh. | 01:52 |
| malachi_constant | Let me see here. | 01:52 |
| Loshki | good catch, TJ- | 01:52 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: well, it wasn't exactly fine.... I had to adjust it. This was why bringing eth0 back up did not restore the connection... until I adjusted the default gateway. | 01:53 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: should I do /etc/init.d/networking restart now? | 01:53 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: "sudo ifup em1" | 01:53 |
| malachi_constant | Okay, dhclient is sending out DHCPDISCOVERs. | 01:53 |
| TJ- | apb1963: We had metrics on the routes didn't we? wlan0 should have kicked in when the eth0 default disappeared | 01:54 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, bad news. Unity Plugin is Enabled and still only the background image AND the desktop icons. | 01:54 |
| HikaruBG | nothing changes | 01:54 |
| HikaruBG | nothing changed | 01:54 |
| eeee | HikaruBG: can you please ls -l /etc/X11 | 01:54 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK... don't worry, we'll work through the log-files to figure it out. "pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors" please | 01:54 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: It seems not to be working. ethtool shows 'Link detected: no' | 01:54 |
| malachi_constant | This is extremely odd to me, because it's the second cable I've tried, and everything else seems to work. | 01:55 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: Does the interface kernel driver need firmware? | 01:55 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: Right. But my only point is that the routing table didn't fix itself... it had to be manually adjusted. | 01:55 |
| malachi_constant | TJ-: Ooh, possibly, it's a broadcom netextreme. | 01:55 |
| TJ- | malachi_constant: check /var/log/dmesg for clues | 01:55 |

| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK, can you try restarting lightdm so you're at the Greeter log-in, then try logging in as Guest? | 02:00 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: We need to isolate whether this is a system-wide issue, or just your regular user account profile settings | 02:00 |

| TJ- | HikaruBG: That's great - we now know it is something in the user profile | 02:03 |
| HikaruBG | I tried this a while ago but it didn't work... apparently when we installed the new driver we fixed something | 02:03 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, OK - where do you suggest we look ? | 02:03 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: "sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log" | 02:04 |

| tortib | purevulcan: is this minecraft client or server? | 02:14 |

| wafflejock | Basketball: how'd you change it in the other places? editing the .desktop file? | 02:25 |
| Beldar | kuldud, What is the problem? | 02:26 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136552/ | 02:26 |
| Beldar | kuldud, Just load the iso to a usb with an app, there are a handful available. | 02:27 |
| kuldud | I have windows 7 i want to boot ubuntu from usb drive - im using a really old computer and it has no dvd rom | 02:27 |
| kuldud | what app | 02:27 |
| Beldar | kuldud, Be sure it can boot a usb is all. | 02:27 |
| carlosqueso | kuldud: unetbootin is what I use | 02:28 |
| Beldar | kuldud, unetbootin is one, pendrivelinux has others. | 02:28 |
| Basketball | wafflejock, i went to user share applications then right clicked edit with gedit and changed the line icon = to icon= place where it is saved | 02:28 |
| kuldud | ok | 02:28 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK, and now "dconf dump /org/gnome/ | pastebinit" ... you may need to do "sudo apt-get install dconf-cli" | 02:31 |
| Beldar | kuldud, The bios should have a change drives area put the usb as first read. | 02:31 |
| wafflejock | Basketball: yeah thought that would do it? I installed a few programs myself (as in from source) and created the .desktop file, in gnome taskbar at least it appears to use that icon | 02:31 |

| HikaruBG | TJ-, i have 14 packages waiting to be upgraded | 02:32 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, would you like me to run upgrade? | 02:33 |
| HikaruBG | This is after we installed the new NVIDIA Drivers | 02:33 |
| HikaruBG | might be some fixes and patches there.... | 02:33 |
| apb1963 | If I can get my NFS working, I can finally move off my 12.04 machine. | 02:34 |
| aeropause | can ubuntu do everything windows 8 can? | 02:34 |
| aeropause | i'm thinking of switching as long as i don't lose any functionality | 02:34 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause...ubuntu does a lot of things, but almost all are done differently | 02:35 |
| Beldar | aeropause, Windows and Linux have their strong points, you will have to investigate. | 02:35 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause, what functionality do you need? | 02:35 |
| aeropause | hmmm well i have to work in an office | 02:35 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Yes :) | 02:36 |
| aeropause | our documents are word and excel | 02:36 |
| kuldud | when i install ubuntu in oracle virtual box and i do full install does it wipe my whole hard drive or just the parition | 02:36 |
| Beldar | aeropause, This is direct Ubuntu support, dual boot and see what can be cross used. | 02:37 |
| aeropause | whole hard drive, kuldud | 02:37 |
| kuldud | aw | 02:37 |
| aeropause | yea you would think the virtual box would compartmentalize the OS but it will wipe your entire drive | 02:37 |
| aeropause | best to just use windows, because it works | 02:37 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, "sudo apt-get upgrade" returned 14 not upgraded. I need to run dist-upgrade | 02:37 |
| aeropause | i think that's what i'll do | 02:37 |
| apb1963 | kuldud: it doesn't wipe either one. A virtual computer is simply a file created that helps to emulate the OS. | 02:38 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause, well there isn't MS office for ubuntu, but you can use libreoffice for simple documents and spreadsheets, and skydrive (or whatever they're calling it) | 02:38 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK ... I'll keep reading :) | 02:38 |
| eeee | virtualbox doesn't touch the partitions | 02:38 |
| eeee | aeropause: ^^ | 02:38 |
| Beldar | kuldud, You can dual boot ubuntu on the HD. | 02:38 |
| aeropause | somebody told me that libreoffice isn't compatible with microsoft office | 02:38 |
| aeropause | i need compatibility | 02:38 |
| HikaruBG | OK TJ-, when I upgrade - just to restart lightdm or the entire machine ? | 02:38 |
| eeee | i mean kuldud: ^^ | 02:38 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause...it's mostly compatible, but will chew up complex formatting | 02:38 |
| eeee | nevermind | 02:38 |
| eeee | im sleepy | 02:39 |
| Beldar | aeropause, So far your half troll half bad advice, what is the deal? | 02:39 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: It depends on how complex your documents are. It can do simple documents, but forget about macros. | 02:39 |
| aeropause | hmmm i need macros | 02:39 |
| aeropause | why can't libreoffice do macros? | 02:39 |
| eeee | but yeah virtualbox doesn't wipe any partitions, unless you explicitly make a file that represents the raw hard disk | 02:39 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: It CAN do macros.... it just won't do MS macros. It does macros differently. You can write macros for libreoffice. | 02:39 |
| HikaruBG | TJ-, upgrade done, nothing changed - still same issue | 02:39 |
| aeropause | why does it do macros differently? don't they want to be compatible? | 02:40 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: they do them differently because the intent is to do them better. | 02:40 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause, it can do its own macros, but not MS Office's...FWIW, MS Office won't run LibreOffice (or WordPerfect) macros | 02:40 |
| aeropause | oh. ok i guess i won't switch to linux then | 02:40 |
| aeropause | I see why nobody uses linux | 02:41 |
| TJ- | eeee: Are you using Unity? | 02:41 |
| eeee | yeah | 02:41 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause...probably good plan for you | 02:41 |
| aeropause | yea | 02:41 |
| aeropause | good plan | 02:41 |
| eeee | TJ-: what's up? | 02:41 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: If you write your macros in libreOffice they'll work just fine.... and then you'll understand why nobody uses MS Office. | 02:41 |
| aeropause | hmmm too bad that won't happen | 02:41 |
| aeropause | because nobody uses libreoffice lol | 02:41 |
| aeropause | maybe they should have tried being compatible rofl | 02:42 |
| cynicallemon | apb1963: do people still use ms office? | 02:42 |
| TJ- | eeee: can you "sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log" so I can compare? | 02:42 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause...this is the wrong place to say that kind of thing....a chat room full of libreoffice users *sigh* | 02:42 |
| apb1963 | cynicallemon: I'm not sure.... I forget what it is. | 02:42 |
| eeee | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136661/ | 02:43 |
| cynicallemon | apb1963: best ms office creation was clippy, libre office would be good with that | 02:43 |
| TJ- | eeee: and also "ps -efly | grep unity | pastebinit" ? thanks :) | 02:43 |
| LostNva | aeropause, libreoffice works well and replaces Mic Office, but bare in mind some colleges businesses etc. reject it. | 02:43 |
| apb1963 | cynicallemon: and even if I could remember, I wouldn't want to pay thousands of dollars for it, train all my staff and then have to buy it all over again a year later and retrain all my staff again for thousands more... and lose all that productivity when I could have simply gotten LibreOffice for free and trained my staff once and then never again. | 02:44 |
| aeropause | some? you mean all, LostNva | 02:44 |
| aeropause | i feel like linux is for neckbeards and not for serious adults | 02:44 |
| apb1963 | cynicallemon: omg, I hated clippy with a passion. lol | 02:44 |

| LostNva | aeropause, no its microsoft politics for money, but the software works well, in some cases better. | 02:44 |
| eeee | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8136672/ | 02:44 |
| expunge | aeropause: I feel like people who shave daily aren't very serious | 02:45 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: You have something against mothers too? | 02:45 |
| aeropause | the software works well? by not being compatible with anybody else? being useless? | 02:45 |
| expunge | aeropause: nah | 02:45 |
| cynicallemon | apb1963: lol | 02:45 |
| apb1963 | aeropause: what you mean to say is that MS is incompatible with everyone else by being proprietary. | 02:45 |
| carlosqueso | aeropause...you're right, MS Office, unlike LibreOffice, OpenOffice and a bunch of others isn't compatible with anyone else | 02:45 |
| cynicallemon | expunge: love that gif | 02:46 |
| aeropause | carlosqueso, you're right that I'm right. None of that bullshit is compatible with the other 99% of the market | 02:46 |
| aeropause | therefore it's fucking useless | 02:47 |
| aeropause | (fag) | 02:47 |
| cynicallemon | i send stuff created in libreoffice everyday to ms office users - no issues | 02:47 |
| carlosqueso | yup, got through the second half of undergrad and all of grad school on OpenOffice (it was pre-Libreoffice)...now my work is a pretty much complete Google Docs shop | 02:48 |
| cynicallemon | in fact i could send the same stuff from office 4.3 too | 02:48 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: I'm not sure how we do this if you have no way to launch a terminal from the GUI session; maybe Ctrl+Alt+F1 then "DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity-scope-home/unity-scope-home&". If errors are reported to the terminal, let me know, otherwise Alt+F7 to check if you've got the dash | 02:49 |
| MrJoestar | When I come back from suspend my keyboard starts to have a delay when I press a key. What can I do? | 02:49 |
| HikaruBG | OK | 02:49 |
| cynicallemon | office 4.3 to office 2013 - difference?, a heck of a lot of money | 02:49 |
| kuldud | hi, sorry i have to ask again if i install ubuntu fully in virutal box would it delete anything outside the virtual box | 02:50 |

| carlosqueso | kuldud...nope, that's the beauty of VirtualBox | 02:50 |
| kuldud | ok thank you | 02:50 |
| carlosqueso | cynicallemon...office 4.3? Did that run on stone computers? | 02:50 |

| joe7dust | I made the usb boot disk and it boots with purple screen then goes to purple background that says ubuntu 14.04 and white/red dots... then after about 30 seconds it goes to black background with white/yellow dots for about 10 seconds before I lose signal from the video card | 04:00 |
| joe7dust | waited a couple minutes tried hitting keys nothing helps just have to power cycle | 04:00 |
| joe7dust | I used Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.5.exe to format and create the boot disc of image ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 04:01 |
| joe7dust | said all successful... maybe its loading a default video drive that is incompatible with my system? | 04:02 |

| wafflejock | kuldud: the ports need to be opened/forwarded on the server side though, to do it more securely you can use an SSH tunnel | 04:46 |
| wafflejock | kuldud: what's the relationship on the network between the client/server, same LAN, across the net? | 04:46 |
| tortib | someone help, I just installed dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d and it didn't create a /etc/init.d/dovecot script | 04:51 |
| tortib | it says the service is running but I can't connect to it | 04:51 |
| tortib | ports are opened on the firewall | 04:52 |
| nrdb | tortib, does "netstat --tcp --listening" indicate that the correct ports are open | 04:53 |
| tortib | no | 04:53 |
| tortib | it does not | 04:53 |
| tortib | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8137420/ | 04:54 |
| tortib | nrdb: what do I do? | 04:55 |
| tortib | I need email services | 04:55 |
| nrdb | tortib, at least we know it is not a firewall problem etc atm ... have you looked in syslog? | 04:57 |
| tortib | nrdb: why is the init.d script missing? | 04:57 |
| cjr | hi. i would like to upgrade from Quantal to Trusty, but there are so many 404 errors in my sources.list that the software updater program won't start properly (it thinks i have an internet error) | 04:58 |
| nrdb | tortib, no idea ... it seems to be running ... is xinetd starting it? | 04:58 |
| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| tortib | nrdb: no | 04:58 |
| tortib | xinetd isn't installed, inetd is though | 04:59 |
| cjr | i can see that all of the "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal" links are broken now that 12.10 is not supported, but i'm not sure what to change them to (i tried archive.canonical.com, but that didn't seem to work) | 04:59 |
| nrdb | tortib, ok ... any hints in the logs? | 04:59 |
| tortib | nrdb: not really :( | 05:00 |
| nrdb | tortib, is the a file in /etc/defaults for it | 05:01 |
| tortib | is a SSL cert valid if the IP address changes? Or is it based on the hostname? | 05:01 |
| tortib | nrdb: no :( | 05:02 |
| karstensrage | tortib, based on hostname | 05:03 |
| karstensrage | ip address would be ridiculous | 05:03 |
| nrdb | tortib, I would expect it to still be listening on the ports even if the ssl certs weren't correct | 05:03 |
| tortib | okay that's what I thought | 05:03 |
| tortib | nrdb: true. | 05:03 |
| tortib | but my postfix install is saying it can't find a sasl authentication mechanism | 05:03 |
| tortib | which is weird because the dirs are correct | 05:03 |
| nrdb | tortib, I can't think of anything else atm. | 05:04 |
| tortib | this sucks! | 05:04 |
| tortib | why is it doing this! | 05:04 |

| rww | tortib: 1) SSL is unrelated to SASL, 2) do you have an SASL daemon running (like the one that comes with dovecot...)? | 05:05 |
| tortib | rww: I don't think so | 05:05 |
| tortib | rww: the dovecot install didn't work properly | 05:05 |
| tortib | i don't even have a init.d script for it | 05:05 |

| Neurome | quick questionaire | 05:11 |
| Neurome | ufw isn't working | 05:11 |
| Neurome | ive blocked an ip address but still see an active connection | 05:11 |
| Neurome | from & to XXX ip address meanwhile its still showing an active connection in another program, so i decided to due a quick reload, and status of UFW reloaded successfully"status : ACTIVE" | 05:13 |
| Neurome | am i suppose to clear my dns cache or something ? or does it only work upon future connections & not terminate current connections | 05:14 |
| rww | I think it doesn't terminate current connections. not 100% sure, though. | 05:15 |
| Flannel | rww, Neurome: I believe that is the case. | 05:16 |
| cjr | rww: quick question - i have an scp session open with a job running that I should have started in screen, but didn't, so i don't wan't to disconnect before it's done. can i start the upgrade process now and be assured that it will prompt me before it reboots or disconnects me, or should i wait till my job is done? :) | 05:17 |
| Neurome | rww, Flannel, well i just d/c from the pool | 05:17 |
| === foD_ is now known as foD | ||
| === foD is now known as foD_ | ||
| rww | cjr: I'd wait. Upgrades tend to disconnect me halfway through. | 05:18 |
| Neurome | of several ip's reconnected and still see that ip handshaking my computer | 05:18 |
| cjr | rww: ok, thanks! | 05:18 |
| tortib | rww: I never had to do that before...and i just added that to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and it still doesn't work :( | 05:20 |
| Neurome | Flannel, there still a connection between me & that ip address even after manually terminating and attempting to reestablish to that server | 05:20 |
| toqoz | can anyone help me install bar under ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| Beldar | toqoz, Try to detail what you're looking to do for help. | 05:22 |
| jpkbeddu | Can i hav unity launcher disabled? I use Plank dock and apps when minimized jump to unity launcher even if its in auto hide mode.. | 05:22 |
| Flannel | Neurome: If you terminated the server, verified the connection was indeed closed, and then restarted the server and the identified external server re-connected, then that suggests that the firewall rule is not working properly (which likely means you didn't set it up appropriately) | 05:22 |
| tortib | rww: I"m getting this error with dovecot: Aug 24 22:21:50 tortib dovecot: imap(tortib): Error: open(/var/mail/tortib) failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(tortib) egid=1000(tortib) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0775) | 05:23 |
| tortib | I don't want my mail in /var/mail I want it in ~/Maildir | 05:23 |
| toqoz | beldar, when running make i get the error "bar.c:11:21: fatal error: xcb/xcb.h: No such file or directory" , might be doing it wrong in the first place (new to linux.) | 05:23 |
| Beldar | toqoz, What you need is probably in the repos, rather than a downloaded tar, again describe the end goal the channel, not me. | 05:25 |
| Beldar | to the* | 05:25 |
| Flannel | tortib: You need to set your mailbox location in the config file. | 05:25 |
| tortib | Flannel: which config? | 05:26 |
| Neurome | Flannel I did it shows the rule under status, | 05:26 |
| Neurome | To Action From | 05:26 |
| Neurome | -- ------ ---- | 05:26 |
| Neurome | xx ALLOW Anywhere | 05:26 |
| Flannel | tortib: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or something similar, conf.d or whatnot). But dovecot.conf has a line for it, under "mailbox locations and namespace" | 05:26 |
| Neurome | xx/tcp ALLOW Anywhere | 05:26 |
| Neurome | Anywhere DENY 171.*.*.* | 05:26 |
| unopaste | Neurome you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted | 05:26 |
| tortib | Flannel: k thx | 05:27 |
| tortib | Flannel: I don't see that in dovecot.conf | 05:27 |
| Flannel | tortib: You should probably go through that entire config file, there are some things that you'll want to set up that need to be (they've got appropriate notices around them) | 05:27 |
| toqoz | i want to install bar (bar aint recursive) under xubuntu but dont really know how, could somebody instruct me? | 05:27 |
| Flannel | tortib: Pastebin your conf file then, lets take a look. | 05:27 |
| Neurome | Flannel, However the port i opened is open but the ip isn't blocked | 05:28 |
| tortib | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8137618/ | 05:28 |
| Flannel | tortib: What version of Ubuntu is this? | 05:28 |
| tortib | Flannel: 14.04 LTS | 05:28 |
| Flannel | tortib: I imagine it's in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* then | 05:29 |
| tortib | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8137630/ | 05:30 |
| tortib | which one? | 05:30 |
| toqoz | im assuming i need to use make as there is a makefile in the folder, though get this error when running it: bar.c:11:21: fatal error: xcb/xcb.h: No such file or directory (lf) #include <xcb/xcb.h> (lf) compilation terminated. | 05:30 |
| tortib | it isn't in mailboxes Flannel I just checked there | 05:30 |
| Flannel | tortib: Probably 10-mail or 15-mailboxes | 05:30 |
| tortib | AH | 05:31 |
| tortib | found it | 05:31 |
| tortib | it's in mail.conf | 05:31 |
| Flannel | So, you should probably go through all of these (which basically make up the dovecot.conf file) and make sure there isn't anything you need to do before running this for real (again, it'll be appropriately noted) | 05:31 |
| tortib | Flannel: what should I do about my smtpd though it isn't working :( | 05:32 |
| tortib | i can't connect to it | 05:32 |
| tortib | Aug 24 22:33:06 tortib postfix/smtpd[13940]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms is the error I receive. | 05:33 |
| tortib | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8137644/ is my postfix config | 05:33 |
| Flannel | Are you running this? or connecting to a third party? | 05:33 |
| tortib | main.cf | 05:33 |
| tortib | Flannel: i'm running it | 05:33 |
| LostyJai | hey guys, how much data roughly do you have to download to upgrade 10.04 to 14.04 ? | 05:34 |
| LostyJai | i know you have to upgrade to 12.04 first | 05:34 |
| Neurome | if i block an ip address thats connecting over a port that ive opened would the rules conflict ? | 05:34 |
| tortib | Neurome: not if you keep the block rule below the open rule | 05:35 |
| tortib | er block rule above the open rule | 05:35 |
| toqoz | has anyone gotten bar (bar aint recursive) working on ubuntu? im getting an error during make | 05:35 |
| tortib | that way it blocks the IP first then it's open to everything else | 05:35 |
| Neurome | hm | 05:36 |
| Neurome | tortib is there a way to move the rule through command line or do you have to re order it in the config file ? | 05:36 |
| tortib | Neurome: you can use iptables -D | 05:36 |
| tortib | to delete it | 05:36 |
| tortib | iptables -D INPUT -p tcp etc etc | 05:37 |
| tortib | Neurome: or by line number works too *i think* | 05:37 |
| tortib | i haven't tried it that way | 05:37 |
| tortib | but it should work | 05:37 |
| Neurome | am too tired to be figuring this out | 05:39 |

| === NeedsHelpBad is now known as gacnt | ||
| tortib | Flannel: any ideas? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | tortib: I don't know much about postfix, but googling that error gives a number of interesting results, including one that says setting smtpd_tls_auth_only to yes may be related. | 05:41 |
| tortib | Flannel: it is set to yes | 05:43 |
| Neurome | tortib thank you though | 05:43 |
| tortib | np | 05:44 |
| Neurome | i've just remembered another issue i couldn't find a solution for in google | 05:44 |
| Flannel | tortib: right, that's what the websites says is your problem (although it may be in conjunction with other settings). As I said, I don't know a lot about postfix, so ask the internet, it seems this is a reasonably common issue for people. | 05:44 |
| Neurome | for some reasoning in youtube i get no lag while watching a video but downloaded or otherwise (from most other siteS) the video lags alot, & even when i stop the video the timer and frams still go | 05:45 |
| Neurome | and when i skip ahead in a downloaded video or in about any site other than youtube the audio cuts off even though i know the files good | 05:45 |

| lokoum | did you try crunchBang ? | 06:02 |
| Neurome | joe7dust you could always try different distros | 06:03 |

| alphabravo | wafflejock, What's aview, btw? | 06:25 |
| alphabravo | skimming. | 06:25 |
| cfhowlett | !aview | alphabravo, | 06:25 |

| Flannel | ubunt, wafflejock: if you install caca-utils, there's a "cacaview" program that'll view a good number of image formats. | 06:25 |
| ubunt | i only see image , i want not see image in asciimode, it's possible? | 06:25 |
| alphabravo | cfhowlett, Do I need to type that? | 06:25 |
| alphabravo | oh. | 06:25 |
| alphabravo | ASCII :D | 06:25 |
| alphabravo | I remember someone once ported Quake to ASCII. I wanted to play but never did. | 06:25 |
| rww | ubunt: sure, if you set up a framebuffer and then use one of the various framebuffer utilities, but that's rather annoying to do last I tried | 06:26 |
| rww | and rather more involved than I'd want to get into in #ubuntu | 06:26 |
| wafflejock | ubunt: oh sorry thought the ASCII thing is what you were looking for... didn't know why but figured I'd check | 06:26 |
| alphabravo | rww, maybe it would be a good candidate for a virtualbox vm. | 06:26 |

| alphabravo | I'm using a cheap one that I had to use one of the fixes with. | 06:28 |
| alphabravo | It is asynchronous, which seems to be the issue. | 06:28 |
| ubunt | exist a help ? what do framebuffer need to install for to do possible a view image in command line? | 06:29 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: probably a good thing to check on the forums for, or reviews if possible | 06:29 |
| alphabravo | If you personally have one that works exceptionally well that would be welcome info. | 06:29 |
| alphabravo | wafflejock, yeah, did that. | 06:29 |
| alphabravo | There's nothing like a review or a batch of testing. | 06:29 |
| alphabravo | Mostly I can find ones that *don't* work. | 06:29 |
| alphabravo | "Asynchronous" you can find on packaging, but you don't see "synchronous," because it's considered a negative (but it isn't if you want it to work with Linux). | 06:30 |
| alphabravo | Well, that's my understanding. | 06:30 |

| alphabravo | Mine says c119. I wonder if that's the same as CM119. | 06:39 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: well was mostly joking about that though it does say it's for linux, either way would use the linuxaudio site as reference instead | 06:40 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: seemed to have more info there | 06:40 |
| tortib | cynicallemon: that didn't help :( | 06:40 |
| wafflejock | tortib: you can check what the roundcube-plugins package installs | 06:41 |
| wafflejock | tortib: dpkg -L roundcube-plugins | 06:41 |
| wafflejock | or whatever the package name is | 06:41 |
| wafflejock | it probably extracts some stuff to /etc/apache2/something | 06:41 |
| wafflejock | or maybe just into the existing roundcube folder | 06:42 |
| tortib | ah I thought it would install a calendar :( | 06:42 |
| tortib | but it doesn't look like it does | 06:42 |
| wafflejock | tortib: yeah I have roundcube but haven't tried any plugins | 06:42 |
| tortib | it did install the address book though so that's cool | 06:42 |
| tortib | thanks wafflejock | 06:42 |
| wafflejock | tortib: np, I personally just use GMail for the calendar bits, use Thunderbird to bring everything together | 06:43 |
| tortib | wafflejock: i'm on OS X | 06:43 |
| tortib | so I use mail and Calendar | 06:43 |
| alphabravo | Yeah, wafflejock, it's odd. No problems in Windows, but both of my usb soundcards have issues in Ubuntu, though different-sounding glitches. | 06:43 |
| tortib | calendar integrates with google mail though so it's fine | 06:43 |
| * cynicallemon blames pulseaudio | 06:43 | |
| tortib | but I wanted my users to have a calendar as well | 06:44 |
| alphabravo | cynicallemon, OK, should I kick pulse to the curb somehow? | 06:44 |
| alphabravo | Or, rather than should, could I? | 06:44 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: well it's not too odd if the manufacturers only have windows device drivers but I'm no audio gear expert | 06:44 |
| alphabravo | As you might not want to be held responsible for my own errors. | 06:44 |
| alphabravo | Yeah, it's a bit funky. | 06:45 |
| cynicallemon | alphabravo: no doubt pulse is tied into ubuntu somewher | 06:45 |
| alphabravo | But it was only like $5 or something. | 06:45 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture <-- found this helpful in debugging sound issues at various times | 06:46 |
| alphabravo | Do I understand correctly that JACK could be used to replace Pulse? | 06:46 |
| alphabravo | ty | 06:46 |
| wafflejock | !jack | 06:47 |
| wafflejock | !pulseaudio | 06:47 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 06:47 |
| wafflejock | !jackd | 06:47 |
| wafflejock | hmm | 06:47 |
| wafflejock | !info jackd | 06:48 |
| wafflejock | k I give | 06:48 |
| ubottu | jackd (source: jackd-defaults): JACK Audio Connection Kit (default server package). In component universe, is optional. Version 5 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB | 06:48 |
| wafflejock | o there it is | 06:48 |
| alphabravo | "Sound skipping while using dynamic CPU frequency scaling" This may be my problem. | 06:49 |
| alphabravo | jackd means jack daemon? | 06:49 |
| alphabravo | I've installed it. | 06:49 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: think so forum I found said "jack" package is something altogether different | 06:49 |
| alphabravo | aha, good to know. | 06:49 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: yeah just read it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651435 | 06:50 |
| alphabravo | wafflejock, When using jack do I need to do something to pulse? I just launched qjackctl. | 06:51 |
| HyrulianHero | Hello everyone I have a question about a flash drive not working. | 06:51 |
| HyrulianHero | the best summary of my situation is I used umount to unmount a flash drive and now I cannot seem to find it after plugging it back in. | 06:52 |
| HyrulianHero | any quick tips you can throw me? | 06:52 |
| Ububegin | I am testing for corrupted files using bzip2 -t corruptedFile.tar.bz2.. how do I log only those files which dont pass this test | 06:55 |
| jnhghy | in ubuntu 14.04 I saw I can choose while installing the os something like "photo editor" where the install process asked me if I want to include photo editing software (movies and sound editors also) is there a list with the default software that the installer will add to the os if I choose to install them? | 06:57 |
| alphabravo | HyrulianHero, What happened after you rebooted? | 06:57 |
| wafflejock | alphabravo: no idea just guessing on this stuff, like I said only read up on it a bit myself and no USB hardware here... though I'd like a USB mic | 07:00 |
| HyrulianHero | alphabravo, It won't show me that the flash drive is present when it is physically plugged in. I used the command dmesg | tail and it says that there is a 16.2 G drive attached but I can't find a way to mount it. | 07:00 |
| alphabravo | wafflejock, totally understood. It looks like it's kind of the luck of the draw. | 07:00 |
| alphabravo | Too bad there's nothing certified. | 07:00 |
| HyrulianHero | alphabravo, even after rebooting. | 07:00 |
| alphabravo | HyrulianHero, what does Disks say? | 07:01 |
| HyrulianHero | alphabravo, "should I pastebin the output for you?" | 07:02 |
| a_p3rson | Looking for help installing HIDPoint on 14.04.1, kernel 3.13.0-34-generic. The installer is complaining of an unsupported kernel version - is it really a problem? | 07:02 |
| alphabravo | HyrulianHero, check Disks. I'm not the guy to give a pastebin. | 07:02 |
| alphabravo | But Disks will list mount points. | 07:02 |
| alphabravo | Disks is the name of the program. | 07:02 |
| alphabravo | If there are multiple volumes you can click on them. There's a hyperlink to open the mount point. | 07:03 |
| HyrulianHero | alphabravo, I don't know anything about the Disks program but II can't seem to find it on my system. | 07:05 |

| trex_ | How to MySQL Optimization at server ? | 07:59 |
| Vladimir_ | what does this command do: ~/bin/rancid-cvs ? | 08:02 |
| ray1 | it fucks up the base :( | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett | ray1, no profanity = family friendly discussion channel. thanks. | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett | trex_, might want to discuss @ #ubuntu-server | 08:04 |
| Arbition | Vladimir_: Well it is in your home directory (~) so whatever rancid-cvs is | 08:04 |
| Arbition | cvs being concurrent version control | 08:04 |
| Arbition | for managing code | 08:05 |
| Vladimir_ | Arbition: well I follow a guide and it tells me to run that command but I get an error "no such file or directory" | 08:05 |
| Vladimir_ | Arbition: this is the guide: http://havermyer.com/?p=18 | 08:05 |
| Arbition | Ah, so you start by changing to the rancid user's home directory and then execute that command in it | 08:06 |
| Arbition | seems odd to me | 08:06 |
| Arbition | but I guess thats how its been packaged | 08:07 |
| Arbition | looks like a recent tutorial | 08:07 |
| Arbition | Vladimir_: Do you know what the su command does? | 08:08 |
| Vladimir_ | Arbition: it changes changes user? | 08:08 |
| juniour | hi | 08:08 |
| Arbition | yes | 08:08 |
| Vladimir_ | Arbition: But nowhere in the guide does it say to create a user rancid | 08:08 |
| Arbition | it should be made automatically during install of the software. There are plenty of system user accounts | 08:09 |
| Vladimir_ | okej | 08:09 |
| Vladimir_ | Arbition: so what's the problem in my case? | 08:09 |
| Arbition | if you "less /etc/passwd" you'll notice a lot of users you didn't add and many match system utilities | 08:09 |
| Arbition | I still don't know | 08:09 |
| Vladimir_ | this is in the passwd: rancid:x:111:121::/var/lib/rancid:/bin/false | 08:10 |
| Arbition | what version of ubuntu are you using? Same as the guide (12.04.04)? | 08:10 |
| Arbition | well assuming the su - rancid command works (which seems unlikely as the /bin/false "shell" is not a shell) the file /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs does not exist | 08:11 |
| Vladimir_ | it's a bit older, 10.04 Arbition | 08:11 |
| ssrepfler | hi, I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 on a PC which has two network connections only one of them connected to the LAN and getting an IP address over DHCP (the DHCP only gives addresses to specific MAC addresses). Can I somehow bridge the first network interface with the second and then make it possible for a computer to connect directly to the second interface and be able to navigate? | 08:11 |
| Arbition | Oh well, the packaging of that package may be different on that version | 08:11 |
| Arbition | so that file may not be in the same location | 08:11 |
| Arbition | I don't have that version on hand so I can't confirm for you | 08:11 |

| k1l_ | onr: apple stuff is tied to prop. itunes | 08:14 |

| Arbition | yeah iDevices are moving targets. Something is made to make it work, then apple changes it with new firmware and projects | 08:15 |

| frib | how can i fix this error? FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. | 08:17 |
| cfhowlett | onr, apple (possibly deliberately) breaks linux hacks with every update. IMHO it's not worth the frustration to spend so much time/effort on a hack that will be useless within 6 months. YMMV. OLDER itunes/ipods may still be viable, but the newer hardware/itunes is almost always a generation or 2 behind. | 08:17 |
| onr | cfhowlett: ah, thankfully i'm using an old ipod and ios | 08:18 |
| cfhowlett | onr, that's why your stuff works. :_) rhythmbox is your friend | 08:18 |

| Arbition | try it on a different computer | 08:33 |
| Arbition | if you can | 08:33 |
| frib | i just connected it back to my rpi | 08:34 |
| Arbition | could you dmesg that? | 08:35 |
| frib | Arbition, my rpi recognized it phew | 08:36 |
| Arbition | ok so either something funky is going on in kernel land or you've got a trouble controller in your computer | 08:36 |
| frib | :\ but its a new laptop | 08:37 |
| frib | usb3 is reverse compatible right | 08:37 |
| Arbition | yes | 08:37 |
| Arbition | though actually USB is basically a different system completely, they just merged both into one connector | 08:37 |
| Arbition | the USB2 lines aren't even in use in USB3 mode | 08:37 |
| frib | well it should work basically | 08:38 |
| frib | ill try a different port | 08:38 |

| frib | i dont know if there ar eany | 08:38 |
| Arbition | because all the USB3 ports would be connected to one controller | 08:38 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest75382 | ||
| Arbition | hmm, unforntunate | 08:38 |
| Arbition | Being USB3 though, might be a software issue | 08:39 |
| Arbition | Try restarting the machine, plugging it in after power up and see what happens | 08:39 |
| Arbition | if you are able to, try a different live disk distribution, in case there are kernel issues | 08:40 |
| frib | Arbition, could it be a bios issue? | 08:42 |
| Arbition | I guess it could be, but I'd put it further down on the likelyhood list | 08:42 |
| Arbition | Unless you mean experimental firmware on the controller itself rather than the system bios/efi | 08:43 |
| Arbition | though USB3 should be rolled into the PCH by now (assuming intel, I know little about AMD systems) | 08:43 |
| frib | Arbition, i have a usb2 stick that is recognized | 08:43 |
| frib | but this disk not? | 08:43 |
| Arbition | actually, do you have a USB2 only extension cable? | 08:44 |
| Arbition | or USB2 only hub | 08:44 |
| frib | i think i have a hub yea | 08:44 |
| frib | but i don't know how old it is | 08:44 |
| Arbition | shouldn't matter unless you know the hub doesn't wor | 08:45 |
| frib | i dont know that | 08:45 |
| frib | nor do i not not know that | 08:45 |
| Arbition | you have another USB2 stick you can test the hub with | 08:45 |
| frib | can't i just use the cable from the hard disk | 08:46 |
| frib | i assume that's what you're thinking might be the issue? | 08:46 |
| Arbition | No it isn't | 08:46 |
| Arbition | by using a USB2 only tansport, you force the disk into USB2 mode | 08:46 |
| Arbition | thus isolating whether it is a USB3 issue | 08:46 |
| frib | a usb2 stick doesn't do that? | 08:47 |
| Arbition | oh I thought you implied the one that doesn't work was USB3 | 08:47 |
| frib | no it's usb2, whereas i have another usb2 small stick that works | 08:47 |
| Arbition | ah | 08:48 |
| Arbition | Hmm | 08:48 |
| frib | the non-working one is a 2tb | 08:48 |
| Arbition | ahhh | 08:48 |
| Arbition | ok I'm just going over your dmesg | 08:48 |
| Arbition | the one that doesn't work is 2TB you said right? | 08:49 |
| frib | yes | 08:49 |
| Arbition | ok that was never recognised by the system | 08:49 |
| Arbition | sdb was an 8GB device | 08:49 |
| frib | ah ok | 08:49 |
| Arbition | sda is a 250GB device | 08:49 |
| frib | that was my other usb3 stick | 08:49 |
| frib | Arbition, btw if a usb device is not mounted i can safely unplug it right | 08:50 |
| Arbition | sure | 08:50 |
| frib | so what is the conclusion then? | 08:50 |
| Arbition | the unmounting procedure is entirely about ensuring that cached writes are written to the disk, | 08:50 |
| Arbition | I'm still reading your dmesg | 08:50 |
| frib | oh it's recognized now ithink | 08:51 |
| Arbition | So the 2TB device is USB2? | 08:51 |
| frib | i changed usb port and somehow now it's recognized | 08:51 |
| frib | even though before it wasn't recognized in this port | 08:51 |
| Arbition | Not especially suprising | 08:51 |
| frib | for normal logic it is rather surprising actually :\ | 08:52 |
| Arbition | I might add I have had a friend who had nothing but trouble with his HP Envy, but it was a very early generation | 08:52 |
| frib | Arbition, at first when i got it i was a little bit wary but actually it hasn't given me much trouble | 08:53 |
| frib | other than my mom broke the touchscreen while transporting it and i can't find a damn replacement part that works | 08:54 |
| Arbition | heh | 08:54 |
| frib | no srsly they are selling the touchscreen for more than i paid for the laptop | 08:54 |

What I have installed so far is the HTTP Proxy Server Module and Two NICs. eth0 has the IP:150.51.1.208, NM:255.255.255.0 and GW:150.51.1.1, now how do I configure the eth1 NIC so that traffic passes through SQUID and the WEBcache starts working? | 09:10 |

| frib | why doesn't fdisk -l list my swap partition? | 09:14 |
| tomodachi | frib: perpahs its not on the device you specified, or perhaps its a swap file , not a partition | 09:15 |
| tomodachi | frib: or perhaps its within an lvm | 09:15 |
| frib | tomodachi, no it's a partition that i specified while installing ubuntu | 09:15 |
| frib | tomodachi, it should be /dev/sda2 | 09:15 |
| tomodachi | frib: are you using lvm? | 09:15 |
| frib | what is lvm? | 09:16 |
| tomodachi | linux volume management | 09:16 |
| frib | i dont know | 09:16 |
| tomodachi | try lvdisplay as root | 09:16 |

| dragos | ubuntu dosent find my bluetooth adapter | 09:16 |
| frib | tomodachi, command not found | 09:16 |
| tomodachi | ok your not using it | 09:16 |
| frib | dragos, you should check the product/vendor id | 09:17 |
| frib | tomodachi, the partition shows up in parted -l but it doesn't give me the uuid .. but why doesn't it show in blkid and fdisk -l ? | 09:17 |

| Farva | good eveing | 09:23 |
| Farva | I am trying to get a handle on linux perms, and this just drives me crazy | 09:24 |

| === yellabs-r2 is now known as unimatrix9 | ||
| Farva | so how do I tell this directory to always listen to me, and to stop uploading new files as root | 09:25 |
| tomodachi | Farva: sounds like a permissions mask set in your sftp server | 09:25 |
| Farva | you mean my filezilla? | 09:26 |
| Abhijit | no. thats just a gui client. | 09:26 |
| hateball | Farva: The FTP daemon you're using | 09:26 |
| Farva | 3rd day into all this, not sure what that means | 09:27 |
| unimatrix9 | is there a good terminal webcam view way ? | 09:27 |

| Farva | do you mean...* | 09:28 |
| hateball | Farva: Oh my bad, you said sftp and not ftps | 09:28 |
| Farva | mhmm | 09:28 |
| Farva | =] | 09:28 |
| Farva | so how do I resolve this issue? I did not setup a perm mask that I can recall | 09:29 |
| t4nk042 | hi | 09:30 |
| Farva | heyyy | 09:30 |
| t4nk042 | I am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS version for my server ....I always check partition space using "df -Th" command ....Today when I checked space using "df -Th" so it is showing a particular parition is full but when i checked using "du -sh" | 09:31 |
| t4nk042 | it is not completely full. | 09:32 |
| t4nk042 | is there any way to find out what is eating space on partiton ? | 09:32 |
| unimatrix9 | baobab | 09:33 |
| t4nk042 | I have also tried to check open files on partition using "lsof" command but no use. | 09:33 |
| redwalk | use du | 09:34 |
| redwalk | Or better yet du -sh | 09:34 |
| typ | du -sh * | 09:37 |
| typ | does list dirs with size | 09:37 |
| typ | in current folder | 09:37 |
| redwalk | du -sh /thefolderyouwant | 09:37 |
| hateball | t4nk042: also per default, 5% of partition space is reserved for root | 09:37 |
| redwalk | du -sh /* will give you the usage starting at root. | 09:38 |

| antivirtel | hello all! I've 12.04 LTS 32 bitsinstalled, and I want to upgrade to 14.04 LTS and at once, I want to change OS to amd64 architecture... can I do it without reinstalling? | 09:47 |
| hateball | antivirtel: No. | 09:48 |
| hateball | !clone | antivirtel | 09:49 |
| ubottu | antivirtel: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | antivirtel, nope. torrent the 14.04.1 iso and clean install. use the above to replicate your packages. | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | hateball, does that apply with 32 > 64 bit repo change???? | 09:49 |
| hateball | And backup your ~/ and other data you may have | 09:49 |
| * cfhowlett assumes that backup of ~/ goes without saying ... | 09:50 | |
| hateball | cfhowlett: I *think* all package names are the same, just :i386 if 32-bit | 09:50 |
| antivirtel | hmm... thank you hateball and cfhowlett, can't I do the debian-upgrade way, that change the source's list i386 to amd64, and than dist-upgrade? | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | antivirtel, sort of what I was wondering. hateball? | 09:51 |
| hateball | Well, it's *possible* to switch archs, but it's certainly not supported or recommended afaik | 09:51 |
| antivirtel | yep, mee to | 09:51 |
| hateball | Assuming you have backups, you can give it a go | 09:51 |
| antivirtel | why? could it be problematic, or what? | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett | antivirtel, all things being equal, strongly suggest clean install first, then add packages. | 09:52 |

| Kaapa | hey there | 10:24 |
| Kaapa | historically, /etc/resolv.conf gave me the dns provided by dhcp | 10:25 |
| Kaapa | in latest versions it's always pointing to 127.0.0.1 | 10:25 |
| Kaapa | which I assume is a local dns daemon | 10:25 |
| cynicallemon | Kaapa: dnsmasq | 10:25 |
| Kaapa | ok... any way to make it reload / refresh / whatever? Cause I can't resolve an IP address the guy sitting next to me can | 10:28 |
| cynicallemon | sudo service dnsmasq restart ? | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa want to manually change the dns (nameserver)? | 10:29 |
| Kaapa | no service with that name | 10:29 |
| Kaapa | MonkeyDust: actually, I just wanted this to work | 10:29 |
| Kaapa | I have no idea what dns server is using | 10:29 |
| Kaapa | cause it's not resolving | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa do the following, i wonder why it has changed too... sudo -e /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base ... then add 'nameserver [IP]' and save ... then run: 'sudo resolvconf -u' (that's -u for update) | 10:31 |
| MonkeyDust | without the quotes | 10:31 |
| Kaapa | why would I have to manually add the dns server that dhcp gives me in order to have a system that works? | 10:34 |
| Kaapa | what's the point of dnsmasq? | 10:34 |
| cynicallemon | dnsmasq is a forwarder | 10:35 |
| Kaapa | using connection information, I see that the dns server returned is <DNSIP> | 10:35 |
| Kaapa | if I do nslookup <IPIWANT> <DNSIP>, I get an address. If I just do nslookup <IPIWANT>... no | 10:36 |
| Kaapa | any tips on how to make this flush / whatever? | 10:43 |
| Kaapa | I really don't want to fix this issue by having to manually add to a confnig file every possible dns server I eventually get | 10:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa is that a server? | 10:44 |
| Kaapa | it's my laptop | 10:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa why "every possible dns server"? why not just 1 ? | 10:45 |
| Kaapa | MonkeyDust: I plug my laptop in my office network. I get a dns server. Doesn't work. I manually add it. What guarantees do I have that this won't happen ever again? | 10:46 |
| Kaapa | this is dhcp | 10:46 |
| Kaapa | should "just work" | 10:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa using the procedure i just suggested, i guess you can add multiple nameservers, that of your office and that of your 'private usage' | 10:51 |
| Kaapa | MonkeyDust: you realize there's no 'private usage' here, right? | 10:52 |
| Kaapa | it's just the standard dns server | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Kaapa ok, great, then add your office's name server address | 10:53 |
| Kaapa | that's just insane | 10:54 |
| Kaapa | well, I just edited /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and disabled dnsmasq | 10:54 |
| Kaapa | and now things are working | 10:54 |
| Kaapa | I can't believe it's normal having to add the dns info that dhcp returns to me to have a working dnsmasq | 10:55 |

| Vladimir_ | and the last line is "E: some index files failed to download. They have been ignored or old ones used instead" | 11:46 |
| k1l_ | try the main servers then. maybe the se servers or your route to the se servers is corrupt | 11:47 |
| k1l_ | if you have a outdated package list (like you have when there is an error with apt-get update) one package will say it needs other packages versions than you got on your system. | 11:48 |

| himansurathi | I just wanted to know the reason because i installed tlp on ATi AAdeon graphics card to prevent overheating of my laptop in ubuntu | 13:10 |
| pentatonic | hello all! my computer is driving me crazy. I thought I solved this when I got help a few days ago, but it is happening again. the helping user said it had to do with wifi power savings, and it really had helped meanwhile. but since last night the browser/cursor freezes with absolutely there is nothing to freeze (when 1 tab is open). | 13:10 |
| himansurathi | And what software should someone install to prevent overheating in ubuntu and extend battery life? | 13:11 |
| Amoz | himansurathi, there's not much you can do there except installing proprietary drivers (which usually has more power-saving features implemented) and maybe powertop | 13:14 |

| himansurathi | Sorry for above comment Will powertop not hamper ubuntu like tlp? | 13:20 |

| eeee | Combatjuan: i think it should come by default | 13:27 |
| eeee | sudo apt-get install make | 13:27 |
| Combatjuan | eeee - Right. It claims to already be installed. It's obviously not. I removed build-essential and reinstalled it which did not help. I just remove make (and build-essential by dependency) and reinstalled and... it did work? So, I guess that's good. | 13:29 |

When i add it to .xinitrc file and startx (startx is in my .profile) it hangs and ps -ax shows me that all processes are in T start.

| frib | EriC^^, no ihad icons working before in fluxbox but i think it's because I previously had cinnamon installed before that .. but I don't want to install cinnamon just on a hunch that it might make icons appear in my folders | 15:05 |

| getseclectic_ | i'm having some trouble getting networkmanager to use the right dns when i connect to a vpn, any idea how to debug it? | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | !dns | 15:07 |
| ubottu | To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html | 15:07 |
| EriC^^ | frib: so it did reinstall, but no icons | 15:07 |
| getseclectic_ | i am not trying to set up a domain name service | 15:07 |
| frib | EriC^^, exactly | 15:07 |
| frib | EriC^^, there are awhole bunch of threads on google which all say basically the same thing which is to create this .gtkrc2.0 file or something but i tried that and it doesn't change anything | 15:08 |
| getseclectic_ | setting up bind is easier than getting networkmanager to do what i want :( | 15:09 |
| frib | getseclectic_, have you tried dnsmasq? | 15:09 |
| getseclectic_ | i think networkmanager uses dbus to configure dnsmasq doesn't it? | 15:09 |
| frib | no clue just thought it might give you an idea | 15:10 |
| getseclectic_ | ubuntu uses dnsmasq as a local caching dns server by default | 15:10 |
| getseclectic_ | which is why resolv.conf just has 127.0.01 in it | 15:10 |
| frib | oh ok | 15:10 |
| getseclectic_ | but i think networkmanager uses dbus to configure where dnsmasq sends requests to | 15:11 |
| getseclectic_ | and i have no idea how to debug that | 15:11 |
| dcajacob05_work | got the same problem (bad keys) with archive.ubuntu.com (instead of us.ubuntu.com) | 15:12 |
| getseclectic_ | i put the dns server i want it to use into the networkmanager config for the vpn, but it doesn't work | 15:12 |
| frib | EriC^^, also exaile doesn't have icons not just thunar .. so what controls icons in programs ? | 15:12 |
| EriC^^ | dcajacob05_work: ok, you used us.archive.ubuntu.com though right? | 15:12 |
| dcajacob05_work | EriC^^: that was the original setting | 15:12 |
| alive4ever | getseclectic_: You may find which configuration file dnsmasq use by issuing 'ps aux | grep dnsmasq' | 15:12 |
| getseclectic_ | there are multiple dnsmasq processes, one conf file is empty, the other says it is autogenerated and not to edit it | 15:14 |
| dcajacob05_work | EriC^^: this is a pristine install, btw only ssh and vim packages added | 15:15 |
| getseclectic_ | it says something about using virsh to edit the configuration but i'm kinda lost | 15:16 |
| _0xff | fff | 15:17 |
| frib | figured it out .. just had to add gnome-settings-manager & to fluxbox startup to get icons in folders | 15:17 |
| EriC^^ | dcajacob05_work: when you removed /lists did you remove /lists/partial too ? | 15:19 |
| dcajacob05_work | EriC^^: yes, rm -r and or mv lists | 15:20 |

| cfhowlett | X^, yes you can install to a USB | 15:32 |
| X^ | How? | 15:32 |
| X^ | Ok, so I boot, and choose "Install Ubuntu" | 15:33 |
| EriC^^ | X^: i've never looked into it, but you could install as any other installation i guess, partition the usb hdd and select the "/" to install | 15:33 |
| EriC^^ | ( i guess, don't quote me on it ) | 15:33 |
| k1l_ | yes, load the live system and choose the usb hdd as target | 15:34 |
| EriC^^ | X^: also where it says "where to install the boot loader" choose the usb | 15:34 |
| k1l_ | yes, but then you need to make sure the system boots from usb first to get to boot into that ubuntu | 15:35 |

| EriC^^ | zorgborg: ^^^ so you'll want a bit more like 10-14gb, for /var and /usr stuff | 15:40 |
| zorgborg | cfhowlett: so 20 GB is more than enough? | 15:40 |
| X^ | "No root filesystem defined" | 15:40 |

| cfhowlett | zorgborg, YOUR data ... files, docs, vids ... | 15:41 |

| darrenr | Hello! | 16:40 |
| frib | i deleted the .ecryptfs file in my home folder is that going to have an impact on something? | 16:40 |
| darrenr | ... | 16:40 |
| LinuxGuruz | balder Thanks for that Linus like that was awesome. | 16:42 |
| darrenr | Is it possible for me to network boot my laptop to install ubuntu from a ubuntu 14.04 laptop? | 16:42 |
| === twau_ is now known as twau | ||
| Peanut | darrenr: if your laptop supports PXE booting, then yes, and it's quite easy. | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | darrenr sounds like a pxe installation | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Peanut was faster | 16:42 |
| darrenr | Yeah we do them at my work, but htats in the windows world and i dont know how to set up, just how to use it | 16:43 |
| LinuxGuruz | wrong channel but this is that link https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.os.minix/dlNtH7RRrGA/SwRavCzVE7gJ | 16:43 |
| Peanut | darrenr: However, you might be better of burning the small netbootmini.iso to a USB stick, which is just enough to boot off, and then have the laptop use the network to pull in the OS. | 16:43 |
| darrenr | how do i check if the laptop supports PXE... check in bios? | 16:43 |
| LinuxGuruz | 25 years ago today linux was announced | 16:43 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest57886 | ||
| darrenr | I have no USB stick at the moment | 16:43 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic LinuxGuruz | 16:43 |
| Peanut | darrenr: Yes, go in the bios, and check if you have an option to 'enable boot rom' for your Ethernet device, is usually under PCI/PCI-E in your bios. | 16:44 |
| darrenr | YEah okay ill take a look at that now | 16:44 |
| darrenr | thanks | 16:44 |
| kuldud | i used windows image burner to burn ubuntu onto a disk.... and it shows its empty when i connect it to the computer i want to install ubuntu on | 16:44 |
| darrenr | i must admit. ubuntu has really impressed me... i used it a few years ago but now ive come back its amazing | 16:44 |
| darrenr | kuldud did you finalies the burn? | 16:45 |
| kuldud | finalies? | 16:45 |
| jhutchins | kuldud: Did windows finalize the disk? | 16:45 |
| darrenr | ^^ that | 16:45 |
| kuldud | um | 16:45 |
| jhutchins | kuldud: You also need to make sure it's burning from an image file, not just writing the file to disk. | 16:46 |
| fancesca | ciao | 16:46 |
| kuldud | ok | 16:46 |
| kuldud | i dont see any finalize thing | 16:46 |
| kuldud | there is a verify option which is enabled | 16:46 |
| fancesca | ciao | 16:47 |
| kuldud | can any computer boot from usb? | 16:48 |
| MonkeyDust | kuldud if the bios allows it | 16:48 |
| jhutchins | kuldud: Newer ones can, I would say pre-2007 might be iffy. | 16:48 |
| jhutchins | kuldud: If you don't have the option you can look for a BIOS update. | 16:49 |
| kuldud | well mine is hp compaq nc4200 any way for you guys to check? | 16:49 |
| jhutchins | kuldud: Easier for you to. Check the options in the BIOS or boot menu. | 16:49 |
| kuldud | ok | 16:49 |
| MonkeyDust | kuldud go into the bios settings (f10 or so during boot) and look for the boot order | 16:49 |

| kuldud | no i have cd-rom | 16:51 |
| darrenr | ah crap my minibook broke its screen | 16:51 |
| kuldud | it seems to not be booting it tho | 16:51 |
| darrenr | well i probably broke it | 16:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | IanGriffiths: Head for recovery, run "dpkg (Repair broken packages)", accept mounting read/write, let dpkg complete, select "root (Drop to root shell prompt)", and run [ passwd $USERNAME ], where $USERNAME is your user name. Then reboot. | 16:51 |
| kuldud | i checked what was in the cd that i burned it shows a bunch of files which is correct | 16:51 |
| piyush1911 | Hi, anyone has any experience in using a kickstart to install a fakeRAID(0) ubuntu 12.04 system, I am having lot of issues in being able to partition and then install the grub, please I need a little help. | 16:52 |
| IanGriffiths | SonikkuAmerica: Do I need to boot from a livedisk to enter recovery? | 16:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | No. From GRUB select "Advanced options for Ubuntu", then "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.XX.X-X-generic (recovery mode)" | 16:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (X represents arbitrary kernel version) | 16:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | IanGriffiths: ^ | 16:53 |
| wafflejock | kuldud: best bet for guaranteeing everything works is to md5sum the download to be sure it matches the md5 sum supplied online for that ISO, then have your burning software do a verification pass, lots of BIOSes allow you to choose a boot device at boot time using another shortcut too (one of the Function(F) keys typically) | 16:53 |

| sarhna | Anyone around to help me with removing ubuntu and installing WinXP? | 17:40 |
| igurd | xp installer should handle removing ubuntu | 17:40 |
| Exagone313 | sarhna: else boot to live cd, open gparted, remove all partitions | 17:40 |

| SonikkuAmerica | sarhna: Also see ##windows | 17:41 |
| k1l_ | sarhna: winxp is not supported anymore. and you can just remove the ubuntu partitions and install a windows-bootloader. its easy as that, but please see the windows support about the winxp issues | 17:42 |
| sarhna | if i went into ctrl alt t and did a sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will that give me a response or just go straight into zeroing the drive? | 17:42 |
| === kandrew is now known as macsnowball | ||
| k1l_ | sarhna: it will just start | 17:43 |
| expunge | sarhna: it won't give you a prompt back until it's done | 17:43 |
| sarhna | ok cool | 17:43 |
| sarhna | so canceling the window was a bad idea? | 17:43 |
| expunge | sarhna: I suggest using bs=1024M or something | 17:43 |
| expunge | something less than your RAM | 17:43 |
| expunge | sarhna: how do you mean? | 17:43 |
| expunge | if you cancelled it before you got a prompt back, it didn't finish | 17:44 |
| sarhna | i mean i ran cmd prompt or whatever you call in in ubuntu, started the zero and then since i didnt think it was working, closed the cmd prompt. | 17:44 |
| expunge | there are some other dd implementations that give progress output, or you can do something like while(true); do kill -USR1 $(pgrep dd); sleep 30s; done | 17:44 |

| sarhna | ok one more question about gparted. when i go tot device> create partition table it prompts with a "select new partition type" option. which one do I choose? msdos? | 17:46 |
| expunge | sarhna: trying to install what now? | 17:47 |
| sarhna | xp | 17:47 |
| expunge | sarhna: you don't need to wipe it with zeros | 17:47 |
| sarhna | that was a last resort if i couldnt get it to work. | 17:47 |
| expunge | the only reason to wipe an entire drive with zeros is if you are giving a drive that had sensitive data on it to a stranger | 17:47 |
| expunge | sarhna: oh, well you can just wipe the beginning, sometimes that is indeed useful | 17:48 |
| expunge | sgdisk -Z will wipe the partitions | 17:48 |
| expunge | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo# bs=10M count=100 will wipe just the beginning | 17:48 |
| mrvadon | hello everyone | 17:48 |
| expunge | hi mrvadon | 17:49 |
| sarhna | but in gparted, when i create a partition table, it tells me it will erase all data on disk and asks to select a new partition type | 17:49 |

| sudormrf | any word on the QHD+ question? | 17:50 |
| sudormrf | I have been AFK | 17:50 |

| expunge | sarhna: you don't need to create a partition for Windows' installer | 17:50 |
| expunge | empty space is enough | 17:50 |
| sudormrf | expunge, last I read about QHD+ screens was that they weren't fully supported in linux. This was a while ago and all the threads I am finding are from late 2013. I am wondering if, ubuntu for example, now supports them. | 17:51 |
| sarhna | i didnt think so either, but the xp install disk hangs at the start, and everyone has told me it has to do with an existing ubuntu install | 17:51 |
| expunge | sudormrf: I think things like that are less an issue of "support" and more an issue of configuration expectations | 17:52 |
| expunge | sudormrf: for example when the first retina macs came out, it wasn't configured quite right, but did not take like... development of whole new software systems to support it, just slight configuration alterations | 17:52 |
| sudormrf | expunge, ah. configuration alterations on whose part? | 17:53 |
| expunge | graphics driver, X, your own | 17:53 |
| trism | sudormrf: if you search instead for high dpi instead of qhd there are quite a few articles about 14.04 support for it (plus a spec for 14.04 on the ubuntu wiki), although the only specific feature I found mentioned was System Settings/Display/Scale for Menu and Title Bars | 17:53 |

| sarhna | i dont care if the drive is cleared. any other warnings other than that? | 18:13 |
| lu_ | sarhna, unplug every other drive | 18:13 |
| sarhna | no other drives other than CDROM | 18:14 |
| lu_ | sarhna, what was on the internal drive before? | 18:14 |
| sarhna | ubuntu | 18:14 |
| sarhna | before that it was zero'd | 18:14 |
| juan__ | http://puu.sh/b7xRC/0416c10d51.png here are my specs | 18:14 |
| lu_ | sarhna, you probably want to erase the entire drive not just partitions. | 18:15 |
| cpined | greetings tech friends. I have ubuntu as a guest OS. How can I set things up such that when I browse the internet on the host it goes through the guest? | 18:15 |
| sarhna | zero it again? or is there better way? i know sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/sda | 18:15 |
| lu_ | sarhna, you don't have to do that unless you are trying to secure it | 18:16 |
| lu_ | but sdmem would be better for that | 18:16 |
| sarhna | whats the faster way then? | 18:16 |
| sarhna | just type that into the cmd prompt? | 18:16 |
| lu_ | sarhna, the fast way is to create a partition tables | 18:17 |
| sarhna | with cparted? | 18:17 |
| sarhna | err gparted? | 18:17 |

| MagicSpud | juan__ there they suggest it was the bios settings | 18:18 |
| sarhna | ok gparted then device > created partition table, then msdos> apply ?? | 18:18 |

| frojnd | Hi there. Any advanced ubuntuoeres here? I've set up wifi hotspot with kde-nm-connection-editor but I don't know where is the file that tells how many users is connected to the wifi hotstpot. Also I'd like to block some pages and I don't know how all this works since it's gui app? Any help appreciated | 18:19 |
| sarhna | also how do i do that thing where it pings the person im trying to talk to and show the name in orange? | 18:19 |
| lu_ | sarhna, that will remove all your partions for that drive. Then create an ntfs partion. That will help xp understand how to install. | 18:19 |
| jak3000 | sarhna any advice? | 18:19 |

| frib | HI, i tried to install tuxonice to try and fix hibernate but it didn't work and it changed my kernel to something else .. but i don't know how to get it back to the original, can anyone help? thx | 18:25 |
| genii | sarhna: As I understand, you are just trying to wipe everything and install some Windopws version again? | 18:26 |
| sarhna | yeah trying to remove ubuntu and install XP, but it hangs at "setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" | 18:27 |
| genii | sarhna: This is on the XP install CD? | 18:27 |
| sarhna | yeah | 18:27 |
| genii | sarhna: So this is more then a Windows installation question rather than an Ubuntu removal question. | 18:28 |
| genii | sarhna: The pre-exisiting filesystem should not matter at all, if it does not recognize it then will usually assume there isn't one and just format ( default Windows install behaviour) | 18:29 |
| genii | sarhna: The "inspecting computer's hardware configuration" stage can be an extremely long time | 18:29 |
| sarhna | genii, its not taking very long at all, about 10 seconds and then it hangs and immediately reboots the entire system | 18:30 |

| AlexPortable | How many GB should I reserve for swap and grub? | 18:38 |
| AlexPortable | when installing | 18:38 |
| genii | sarhna: If you want the hd to seem to the installer to be fresh without partition or filesystems of any kind, you can boot to an *buntu livecd and wipe the MBR in terminal with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 (might need sudo but livecd should require no password for it) ... then try the XP install again. | 18:39 |
| theadmin | AlexPortable: Swap - around 4GB is more than enough, not sure what you mean by grub. | 18:39 |
| theadmin | AlexPortable: A separate /boot is pointless | 18:39 |
| Wizard | AlexPortable: Swap - depends on RAM. /boot.. depends on RAID/FS. | 18:39 |
| sarhna | @genii, thank you so much i will try that | 18:40 |
| AlexPortable | 2 gb ram, but i will be extending it | 18:40 |

| quem | i mourn my printer, which has worked without any effort from me in all previous versions of ubuntu. | 19:18 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: really sounds like it might be a corrupt install CD, you can try disconnecting the hard drive, usually on laptops there is one or two screws holding the hard drive in the bottom of the case, you'd want to pull the power/battery first then you can pop out the hard drive and see if the CD still fails at the same step | 19:19 |
| genii | sarhna: I would suspect then a corrupted install CD, or else bad hardware of some kind. Your computer should not just spontaneously reboot when the hardware is being probed. If you can boot again to Ubuntu livecd, install the pastebinit application, then issue: dmesg| pastebinit ..and give the url please | 19:19 |
| wafflejock | quem: what kind of printer some of them actually have linux drivers available on their sites | 19:19 |
| sarhna | genii: im doing it on a desktop, but i just used the install cd on a different pc and it worked fine | 19:19 |
| sarhna | genii: oops wrong tell | 19:20 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: iim doing it on a desktop, but i just used the install cd on a different pc and it worked fine | 19:20 |
| sarhna | genii: ok booting to the ubuntu cd | 19:20 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: desktop disconnecting the drive is even easier... probably worth a shot to either narrow it down or eliminate that possibility | 19:20 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: but if there is no drive what will it try to install to? | 19:21 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: not to actually install just to see if it's causing the problem | 19:21 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: ok ill give that a shot | 19:21 |
| wafflejock | if you're doing things to the hard drive in order to make the install disk work but you don't know that the hard drive is causing the problem it might be a red herring | 19:21 |
| quem | wafflejock: it's a samsung ml-1630w, previously i've relied on the printer tool automatically downloading and installing the splix driver, but that doesn't work anymore. | 19:21 |
| juan__ | guys, ubuntu usues EFI, UEFI or BIOS?? I've read the forums and the official tutorials but i can't understand that point | 19:22 |

| juan__ | are BIOS and EFI/UEFI the same? | 19:22 |
| wafflejock | genii: for sure not saying that's a bad option either | 19:22 |

| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| jirido | wafflejock: yes. Im slow. i get you the linkis this some ubuntus repository? becauce we look in gnutelephonys own and there it looks diferent | 19:23 |

Hit enter key for the defaults of what partition, how big, etc. Then after it makes the partition: t to change the type, and put there 7 as partition type. Then put w to write and exit. | 19:32 |

| Siente | Hello guys, do I still need to compile a new kernel with the current version of ubuntu? I got i7-4770K and gtx 760 with asus maximus vi hero mobo | 20:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Siente what makes you ask that? | 20:53 |
| Siente | because when I've built my new PC back in September 2013 I tried to install Linux, but the version of the kernel was not supporting my hardware | 20:55 |
| optrusty | HELP | 20:55 |
| Siente | and I've had to compile, but I didn't want to compile and so on | 20:55 |
| Siente | and also the kernels were not yet stable releases I guess I am not sure | 20:55 |
| Siente | but now I want to install Linux | 20:55 |
| optrusty | I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and now my computer is bricked!!!! | 20:55 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 20:56 |
| optrusty | This is in CSM MODE | 20:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Siente and how is your question ubuntu related? | 20:56 |
| trijntje | I have an external drive. I can acces and copy files as a normal user, but not as root. I need to copy files as root because I don't have write permissions on the destination, what is going on that I can copy files but sudo cant? | 20:56 |
| Siente | is the kernel of Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS supporting my hardware? | 20:56 |
| trijntje | optrusty: less caps lock, more details please | 20:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Siente did you try it with a live dvd or usb? | 20:57 |
| Siente | not yet | 20:57 |
| optrusty | Sattilete P855 w/ CSM Mode enabled | 20:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Siente guess that would be the easiest way to find out | 20:58 |
| Siente | okay | 20:59 |

| optrusty | trijntje Which user did you format from | 21:04 |
| trijntje | optrusty: what do you mean format from? That drive was formatted years ago, I dont remember | 21:04 |
| TJ- | eeee: My package manager appears to have its knickers in a serious twist! "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" => "E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package libprotobuf8." and http://paste.ubuntu.com/8144139/ !! | 21:05 |
| optrusty | trijntje: Lets ake it easier for you How many users do you if one that means you formatted it from that one | 21:05 |
| trijntje | optrusty: I don't understand what you are saying, I've reinstalled ubuntu many times since I formatted that drive | 21:07 |

| maxvi | what different between ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu 14.04.1? | 21:08 |

| optrusty | maxvi: I thing they are a minor update | 21:08 |
| TJ- | trijntje: "f92255f6-7eb0-40b2-aa5b-35efbc7fa60d" is a removable-media file-system we assume, probably not using Unix permissions (FAT32 or NTFS maybe?) | 21:08 |
| trijntje | TJ-: no, its using ext4 | 21:09 |
| maxvi | so if I install ubutntu 14.04 and update it I will get 14.04.1? | 21:09 |
| havarka | maxvi, correct | 21:09 |

| cefex | MonkeyDust, I've been having this problem on and off for 2 months now. before it didnt ever happen. I checked my RAM, 16 passes, no errors. I was recommended to apply some wifi-related command, it seemed to work for a few days (no freezes) but then it started again. | 21:31 |
| cefex | the guy who gave me the wifi command said it could be a wifi power saving issue. | 21:31 |
| brian1001 | hi people | 21:31 |
| brian1001 | not directly an unbuntu (only) question but does someone here has experience with an indoor Wifi position server / client (linux based) | 21:32 |
| elichai2 | can someone please have a look: https://askubuntu.com/questions/514190/how-can-i-prevent-the-wifi-to-auto-disconnects-when-idle thanks! | 21:32 |
| optrusty | Can anyone help me | 21:32 |
| OerHeks | elichai2, i remember a setting "for all users" to fix that | 21:33 |
| MonkeyDust | cefex and not too many additional plugins? | 21:33 |
| serverhorror | hmm when using the /etc/cron.d/apt stuff is there a setting to only keep 2 or 3 kernels? my disk just went full and I had to actually read the manpage of dpkg again because it was so long I forgot how to remove packages with dpkg when apt won’t do any more.... | 21:33 |
| elichai2 | OerHeks, nope, the problem is when the laptop get idle the wifi just turned off until i reconnect, and that setting is already set | 21:33 |
| cefex | MonkeyDust, not at all | 21:35 |
| cefex | as a matter of fact, I had more plugins before, and it didnt happen | 21:36 |
| cefex | MonkeyDust, I was advised to reboot after applying this command 'echo iwconfig wlan0 power off | sudo tee /etc/pm/power.d/wireless' this helped a few days without problem, and now it helps for an hour or two, and then freezes come back | 21:40 |

| chili555 | cefex: on my 14.04 system,there is no such file, so you are creating it from scratch, but how or where does it get referenced and used?? | 21:44 |
| Beldar | Pixel91, Ubuntu has use of wine and playonlinux for .exe stuff, any of this sound familiar? | 21:45 |
| chili555 | cefex: You might look at making some changes to /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless | 21:45 |
| cefex | chili555, I was asked to run rfkill list, iwconfig and then this command. and reboot | 21:45 |

| TJ- | eeee: Fixed the package list; it was a new script I have processing them that was at fault (I need grub-pc and grub-efi installed at the same time but they're listed as Conflicts, so my script removes those to allow the packages to be installed at the same time) | 21:52 |

| iu08ds | Anyone ever used cryptsetup-reencrypt? I started a process that will take 702 hours and I would like to revert to the original :) | 22:00 |
| sarhna | genii: still around? | 22:00 |
| chili555 | MonkeyDust, many ppl have wireless included as part of rent and no ethernet jack is in the apartment | 22:00 |
| genii | sarhna: Marginally | 22:00 |
| sarhna | genii: haha, so that last process is at about 90%. when it finishes so i just try the xp install again? | 22:01 |
| jhutchins | cefexx: I think someone probably thought your wifi was going into power saave mode and gave you a command to disable that, but obviously it wasn't the problem. | 22:01 |
| genii | sarhna: Yep | 22:01 |
| jhutchins | cefexx: What browser are you using? Have you tried different ones? | 22:01 |
| sarhna | genii: ok thanks so much again for the help | 22:01 |
| genii | sarhna: If it does the same reboot thing it's nothing to do with the hard drive or what's on it | 22:01 |
| jhutchins | cefexx: Does it happen every time you open the fourth tab, or just happen to usually have four tabs open when it freezes? | 22:01 |
| chili555 | cefexx: in /var/log/syslog but you'll need to scroll back and forth to see the time of the freeze. You might also see if the wireless driver is mentioned in the log | 22:01 |
| sarhna | ok cool, that would make it a install cd problem? | 22:02 |
| jhutchins | cefexx: There also might be info in dmesg after the freeze. | 22:02 |
| chili555 | cefexx, cat /var/log/syslog | grep iwlwifi <---or whatever your wireless driver is, if not iwlwifi | 22:02 |
| jhutchins | cefexx: Is it just the browser that freezes, the whole GUI, or the console as well? | 22:02 |
| genii | sarhna: It can be many problems. The CD itself or the reader would be suspect. The CD might not be for same kind of computer you are trying to install on. The reader might be failing. There may be some BIOS setting which is making it reboot. Etc. | 22:03 |
| TJ- | iu08ds: How large is the block device that is being re-encrypted? | 22:03 |
| cefexx | jhutchins, I'm using firefox. but when the freeze happens, it affects the computer in general. I don't know if it'd happen if I started using another program instead of the browser. after this guy's wifi suggestion, I could amazingly use two browsers with at least 10 tabs together, and I thought it was solved, this was 2 days ago | 22:04 |
| sarhna | genii: ok cool, ill give this a shot and then look into other options | 22:06 |
| cefexx | jhutchins, it happens sometimes with even 1 tab | 22:06 |
| cefexx | jhutchins, the cursor freezes, too, or at least becomes very slow to move | 22:06 |
| chili555 | cefexx, so you were advised to turn power management off and it seemed to help? | 22:06 |

| LucasTT | is it safe to reboot the computer with programs running? | 22:08 |
| cefexx | chili555, I was advised to apply rfkill list, iwconfig and then 'echo iwconfig wlan0 power off | sudo tee /etc/pm/power.d/wireless' and reboot. also set cpufreq to 'performance' | 22:08 |
| cefexx | like I said, I was freed for about 48 hours after that | 22:08 |
| star_prone | I tried a lot of apps, xfce-notes (I know Unity != xfce but it worked under cinnamon), indicator stickynotes but this doesn't work and the bug I'm experiencing seems to have been reported but never fixed, and so on... | 22:08 |

| ferramenta | I was cleaning my computer insides and apparently the cmos battery got disconnected, which made the bios reset. My asus motherboard has two special ports where two disks can connect to make a raid called drive xpert. So, in the motherboard I have 2 disks of 500 gb connected, and before, when every was working fine, this was recognized by the bios as being one 1TB disk. I guess the information is intact but my computer no longer recogni | 22:16 |
| ferramenta | zes those two disks as one disk. Will i have problems of having data of same file in both disks. Its nfts file system. The thing is that at the moment i don't have much free space to recover the files. | 22:16 |

| chili555 | cefexx, not a thing remarkable there. I'd wait till there is a freeze, make a note of the time and check /var/log/syslog at that timestamp. | 22:18 |
| erebus^ | expunge, its not a special app | 22:18 |
| === [1]pantmey is now known as pantmey | ||
| expunge | ferramenta: you'll need more space eventually anyways, no harm buying more | 22:18 |
| expunge | also, don't use hardware solutions when software can do it | 22:18 |
| chili555 | cefexx, is power mgmt on or off right now? iwconfig | 22:18 |
| expunge | also, the likelihood you're using raid correctly is quite low | 22:18 |
| expunge | you probably want to use jbod or something else | 22:19 |
| expunge | erebus^: hrmm? | 22:19 |
| cefexx | chili555, it is stated as off | 22:19 |
| chili555 | cefexx, I suggest you wait for a freeze and check the log after reboot. I don't see anything that points to wireless so far | 22:20 |
| erebus^ | expunge, you need to create a bootable disk in order to copy the pi os to a sd card, and to do that you use "startup disk creator", which isnt a special app, its a default program that comes with ubuntu | 22:21 |
| expunge | erebus^: you don't need that | 22:25 |
| expunge | especially if it doesn't work | 22:25 |
| OerHeks | formatting to FAT32 will do the trick | 22:25 |
| cefexx | chili555, the logs of the interval of freeze refer almost entirely to regular wireless status info, like this updated, that changed.. | 22:26 |
| cefexx | as if nothing else was done in the meantime | 22:27 |
| erebus^ | OerHeks, yeah, the "noobs" thing probably work | 22:27 |
| erebus^ | OerHeks, but i want to run the initial setup via ssh | 22:28 |
| erebus^ | OerHeks, but i guess it's an acceptable solution if all else fails | 22:28 |
| erebus^ | OerHeks, just hurts me that I need to boot up windows to create linux boots | 22:29 |

| treats | TJ-: thanks! but it was the wrong version :( | 22:35 |
| erebus^ | expunge, dont think i follow you, the raspbian image is a system image, right? | 22:35 |

| expunge | it's already installed, you just copy it over | 22:36 |

| erebus^ | expunge, i know its installed, but what do you mean "just copy it over"? its a huge .img file, no good on its own | 22:37 |

| andrej | Is there a list available anywhere that gives me the names of system accounts installed by packages? | 22:37 |
| expunge | cat /etc/group | 22:38 |
| andrej | Googling gives me ways to see installed users (I've been using Linux for 15+ years, I know how to find present users). | 22:38 |
| andrej | I'm trying to build a system that verifies that only permissible users are present on a system | 22:39 |
| expunge | erebus^: you can just use dd, usually, just be careful | 22:40 |
| expunge | andrej: that does what now? | 22:40 |
| andrej | expunge: it's not about one single system. I'm looking after a fleet of currently ~ 60 ubuntu machines, with varied roles (and hence different accounts) | 22:41 |
| andrej | I need to make sure I find (and remove) users not in my list of permitted users. | 22:42 |
| andrej | On all of them | 22:42 |
| expunge | andrej: /etc/passwd | 22:43 |
| andrej | *sigh* | 22:43 |
| andrej | Yes ... that gives me currently installed users | 22:43 |
| expunge | right | 22:44 |
| RedheadedCupcake | Can someone help me with an error I am getting? | 22:44 |
| andrej | I'm looking for a list of users which are (or might be) installed by packages | 22:44 |

| expunge | aren't those irrelevant if they aren't installed? | 22:44 |
| expunge | RedheadedCupcake: someone can, yup | 22:44 |
| RedheadedCupcake | expunge can you? lol | 22:44 |
| andrej | Kind of. Someone (either another team member, or an attacker, if a box was had) might create a new account. | 22:45 |

| expunge | RedheadedCupcake: how should I know, you haven't said what your problem is | 22:45 |
| sarhna | genii: yeah still same problem | 22:45 |
| andrej | I'd like to a) get a notification of that event and b) find out whnce the user came from | 22:45 |
| expunge | that seems a bit like coming at it backwards | 22:45 |
| andrej | RedheadedCupcake : that will depend on the error | 22:46 |
| expunge | why not look into AIDE or something | 22:46 |
| andrej | AIDE is ok stand-alone, doesn't offer itself for a centralised approach very well | 22:46 |
| expunge | huh? | 22:47 |
| andrej | I looked at Samhain, but had no luck with the freebie centralisation in terms of updates, and given ubuntus patch-cycles maintaining this would be a full time job | 22:47 |

| genii | sarhna: If it is an install disc for a specific computer model like say an Acer and you try to install it on another kind of computer like say a Dell, this issue can hapen also. I already said before there are many possibilities what the issue can be. | 22:52 |
| expunge | RedheadedCupcake: you might ask #wine-compholio or #pipelight, even though it's an Ubuntu problem they might know the fix | 22:52 |
| OerHeks | sarhna, what is the issue, xp disk does not see hdd? | 22:52 |
| sarhna | genii: yeah i think im just going to purchase win7 | 22:52 |
| genii | sarhna: But we know now that it is not an Ubuntu support issue any longer, but either a Windows install issue, or a hardware issue | 22:52 |
| sarhna | OerHeks: yeah it stats to check the systems hardware and then locks up and reboots | 22:52 |
| expunge | if you're trying to install Windows XP on much-later-than-XP-era hardware, that isn't necessarily surprising | 22:52 |

| sarhna | genii: well thank you for taking so much time to help me today | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | sarhna, maybe you have a SATA hdd, set to AHCI, in the bios | 22:53 |
| sarhna | OerHeks: would that affect the ability for ubuntu to install? because it did just fine | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | and should be an IDE compatible mode, as XP has no satadrivers onboard | 22:54 |

| CrypticByte | Questions guys and gals, has anyone else had a problem with apps like xchat or hexchat not showing tray icons? | 22:56 |
| OerHeks | sarhna, that is fine for ubuntu, not for xp, so choose one of them. | 22:57 |
| sarhna | OerHeks: im not sure how to change that in the bios | 22:57 |
| RedheadedCupcake | expunge thank you i love you | 22:59 |
| sarhna | OerHeks: is that option changed in the stat operation settings in bios, i see raid auto/ahci, raid auto/ata, and raid on | 23:01 |
| OerHeks | i think auto/ata | 23:01 |
| sarhna | OerHeks: changed to that and still wont work. | 23:01 |

| capoderra0 | Then when I type rm /wallpaper it says "It's a directory". | 23:04 |
| capoderra0 | How can it not be a directory and be a directory at the same time? | 23:04 |
| OerHeks | capoderra0, sudo picture mv ~/wallpaper # "~" stands for /home/$user/ | 23:04 |
| capoderra0 | OerHeks, I'm not moving it into a home folder. I'm actually in the same folder that I'm issuing the commands. Do I have to type the absolute path to use mv? | 23:05 |
| OerHeks | yes, for destination , /home/<you>/wallpaper or use the short ~/wallpaper | 23:06 |
| OerHeks | for scripting i would use full paths, less chance of mistakes | 23:07 |
| capoderra0 | OerHeks, that worked, thanks for the tip | 23:07 |
| capoderra0 | Unrelated, but what is the user www-data? | 23:07 |
| expunge | or $HOME | 23:07 |
| expunge | but I prefer to wait for a problem before abandoning something as problematic =) | 23:08 |
| wafflejock | capoderra0: www-data is used by the apache process | 23:10 |
| expunge | RedheadedCupcake: someone in one of those chans knew what to do? | 23:10 |
| wafflejock | capoderra0: I actually just found out in here the other day the main apache process runs as root but there are child processes it uses for handling the requests and they are run as www-data | 23:10 |

| sarhna | wafflejock: yeah tried taking it all apart still said the same stuff | 23:14 |

| wafflejock | sarhna: yeah just trying to narrow things down as much as possible seems if it still does that without the disc connected then it's borking when probing some other hardware | 23:17 |
| Yui_ | yes it had windows before but i decided to change | 23:18 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: ran ubuntu great,just cant install xp | 23:18 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: I would strip it to bare essentials disconnecting any hard drives and just try to run the disc that way you may have to fiddle with BIOS settings to see what stops XP from failing | 23:18 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: what's the exact error message? | 23:18 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: only other thing it could be is the graphics card i suppose | 23:19 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: if XP doesn't find a disk it generally just tells you that | 23:19 |
| netlar | How do you check the boot logs again? | 23:19 |

| sarhna | wafflejock: it just seems like something is killing the install process, because it just cuts really suddenly with no error message or anything | 23:20 |
| Yui_ | none, my pc is stuck at the bios unless i disconnect the drive, ubuntu didnt show any error it installed just fine, askmed me to reset and this happened | 23:20 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: yeah if we have no HDD connected though we eliminate the possibility of something Linux changed on the drive or otherwise | 23:20 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: taking out the video card if you have on board is a good idea too | 23:20 |
| eeee | netlar: /var/log/syslog | 23:20 |

| Yui_ | no, its an old intel 865G mobo i was trying to make use of it with a new os... | 23:28 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: so i tried it without the video card or hard drive, and still the same problem. then i tried it with an old hdd that had xp on it. it went to the loading windows screen then blue screened and crashed out | 23:29 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: with the old HDD in did you try booting off the CD, any difference? | 23:29 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: what bios? | 23:30 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: yeah tried booting off the cd and it did the same thing, started loading, blue screen. reboot | 23:30 |
| Yui_ | lastest available | 23:30 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: also you might want to try the ubuntu live CD memtest to see if RAM is being finicky perhaps, but I'm about out of ideas on what else to try | 23:30 |
| anarkhos|2 | i don't see why BIOS wouldn't recognize the hard drive just because ubuntu is on it | 23:31 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: im willing to try just about anything | 23:31 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: have you looked throught the bios settings? | 23:31 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: but im probably about to just go buy win7 | 23:31 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: how was the drive partitioned? | 23:31 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: yea XP is EOL anyhow and 7 isn't bad | 23:31 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: it is a strange problem though | 23:31 |
| Yui_ | i fully formated it and partitioned it with a guide i found, and I cant get in the bios, the hdd led is always on when trying to boot | 23:32 |
| TJ- | Yui_: If the BIOS Setup storage devices page doesn't show the device, nor the boot-menu config page, I'd suspect the power supply if we assume the drive didn't just die. | 23:33 |
| TJ- | Yui_: This is a SATA drive? | 23:33 |
| Yui_ | yes | 23:33 |
| TJ- | Yui_: Have you done a complete power off reset (pulled plug from wall) so there's no 5V stand-by even? | 23:33 |
| FKLinguista | Howdy! I have a problem with my LO that is actually quite Ubuntu related. I accidentally caused this error (http://askubuntu.com/questions/302103/font-messed-up) | 23:34 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: yeah i just dont know where to find a box, and dont know who to trust to buy from online for instant download | 23:34 |
| FKLinguista | But none of the solutions work enough to get my fonts back to normal in LibreOffice | 23:34 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: can always go through the microsoft site, or Amazon or some other bigger retailer | 23:34 |
| Yui_ | yeah i tried that, i can boot with a live dvd if i disconnect the drive... | 23:35 |
| FKLinguista | The entire forms of the fonts are messed up. Compare my font in LibreOffice to its PDF render (http://oi58.tinypic.com/2r6cub4.jpg) | 23:35 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: ive looked on microsoft and it seems they only sell 8 now | 23:35 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: would it be possible to boot a live-cd/-usb, prepare a disk check program, connect the troubled hd and then check it for errors? | 23:35 |
| anarkhos|2 | Yui_: no, it would still not be detected... | 23:35 |
| wafflejock | sarhna: yeah probably just marketing that you can get it on Amazon (along with everything else under the sun... | 23:36 |
| wafflejock | ) | 23:36 |
| TJ- | Yui_: Does the mobo have different sockets for different types of SATA device? Some will have sockets on controllers that can't do ATAPI for example. Some have sockets assigned for fake-RAID configurations | 23:36 |
| sarhna | wafflejock: yeah just only available through hard copy in the mail on amazon, i just dont wanna wait to get this pc running, haha | 23:36 |
| FKLinguista | Anybody have an idea about my problem? | 23:37 |
| Yui_ | it has just 2 sata ports near each other, i can try switching them too.... | 23:37 |
| Yui_ | I'll try find someome to test it on other pc... thanks anyway for help | 23:38 |
| TJ- | Yui_: It's a long-shot seeing as the drive worked fine during installation, but stranger things have happened | 23:38 |

| FKLinguista | Can someone please help me/ | 23:47 |

| popey | FKLinguista: wassup? | 23:48 |
| FKLinguista | Suffering from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango-graphite/+bug/1176022 | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1176022 in pango-graphite (Ubuntu) "Pango-graphite changes default UI font in Ubuntu 13.04" [High,Confirmed] | 23:48 |
| FKLinguista | All of my fonts are broken | 23:48 |
| FKLinguista | (in most programs except for firefox and a couple others) | 23:48 |
| FKLinguista | I'm mostly concerned about them being broken in LibreOffice | 23:48 |
| FKLinguista | I work a lot with non-roman scripts, and tried to see if installing pango-graphite would help the OS support my script (before I knew about the bug) | 23:49 |
| popey | you're running 13.04? | 23:49 |
| FKLinguista | Yes | 23:49 |
| popey | ⍨ | 23:49 |
| FKLinguista | No wait | 23:49 |
| FKLinguista | 14,04 | 23:49 |
| FKLinguista | Sorry | 23:49 |
| FKLinguista | But the bug affected me, too | 23:49 |
| OerHeks | FKLinguista, best thing to do is to confirm that issue on launchpad | 23:50 |
| FKLinguista | Ok, OerHeks, I will | 23:50 |
| popey | that bug hasn't been touched | 23:50 |
| FKLinguista | But what should I do about my OS? | 23:50 |
| FKLinguista | Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu to fix it? | 23:50 |
| FKLinguista | I tried purging the package, and it didn't fix it | 23:50 |
| FKLinguista | I tried reinstalling every font package and manual font on my system and clearing the font cache | 23:51 |
| FKLinguista | Nothing has worked so far | 23:51 |
| === kpease__ is now known as kpease | ||
| popey | the package doesn't look to have changed ever | 23:51 |
| FKLinguista | http://oi58.tinypic.com/2r6cub4.jpg | 23:51 |
| popey | so likely it's an issue elsewhere | 23:51 |
| FKLinguista | There's a side-by-side comparison | 23:51 |
| popey | oh, thats mint | 23:52 |
| FKLinguista | popey: I use the MATE desktop | 23:53 |
| rww | on Mint | 23:53 |

| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | FKLinguista, good last comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango-graphite/+bug/1166125 | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1166125 in pango-graphite (Ubuntu) "Broken fonts for Gtk based applications" [Medium,Triaged] | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | libgraphite3 should be removed from any dependencies and from the repos. The replacement (libgraphite2-3, yeh I know it's a funny order) integrates with harfbuzz-ng" | 23:54 |
| popey | FKLinguista: i just installed the doulos Sil font on ubuntu 14.04 and it looks fine.. | 23:54 |
| popey | (in libreoffice writer) | 23:54 |
| FKLinguista | I had doulos installed before and it wasn't broken | 23:54 |
| === din0 is now known as dino82 | ||
| === eeee- is now known as eeee | ||
| FKLinguista | in attempt to have graphite fonts more supported, I installed both pango-graphite and libgraphite3 to see if it would improve | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | i see libgraphite2-3 installed on my system, see if you still have libgraphite3, even you removed pango-graphite | 23:55 |
| FKLinguista | I recently purged both packages | 23:55 |
| OerHeks | maybe put 2-3 back ? | 23:55 |
| FKLinguista | OerHeks 2-3 was never removed | 23:55 |
| FKLinguista | I think it must have broken another package | 23:56 |
| FKLinguista | Maybe there are other packages I have to reinstall | 23:56 |
