[01:08] my computer clock are set several hours past the current time [01:09] installing wine,, it is stuck preparing to unpack .../ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.4+nmu1ubuntu1_all.deb for 10 miuntes [01:09] is this normal? how do i fix? [01:09] -timezone to be precise [01:11] if you are sincronizated at a net with server not rigth it's the problem, nmbvnm. [01:11] nmbvnm, is it a time offset equivalent to what the UTC time would be rather than your timezone? (i.e. that number of hours off) [01:12] yes, negative one [01:12] mellamokb, did you accept the eula? [01:12] s/rigth/setted/ [01:13] kostkon, i didn't see eula.. i killed process, rebooted, and second time through i got eula,, seems to be working now [01:13] mellamokb, ok [01:13] my tz is +3, now it is 1 GMT, my clock show 4 but computer clock are 7 [01:14] salomao: ubuntu gives me no info on that [01:15] i need some advice on creating a Qt development environment on my system, i saw qtcreator in the repos but wanted to ask here before i go and get what the default packaging installs, any tips on what to definitely get and what not before i wreck my system? [01:16] nmbvnm: pick the correct time zone... 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' [01:16] are you inside a private net, nmbvnm? [01:16] sleepy-owl, there's also #ubuntu-app-devel [01:17] kostkon, thank you i will try there as well [01:17] i have the correct time zone, but the clock are broken at boot time [01:18] hello. could someone point me to the xorg.conf file on ubuntu 140.04? [01:18] 14.04* [01:19] why there is no any configuration options in ubuntu? [01:19] nmbvnm, some configuration options are behind the scenes. By "clock" you mean your system time, and not your operating system's clock, right? [01:20] nmbvnm, and by "system time" i mean the time you see when you look at the clock in the BIOS [01:20] i mean the computer clock [01:20] admin? [01:21] nmbvnm, both clocks are "computer clocks". one is the system clock for the computer itself in BIOS, the other is the clock on Ubuntu/Windows/[insert other operating system here]. Which of the clocks is wrong? [01:21] bios clock [01:21] it is changed during the boot [01:22] Wouldnt that be the battery on the motherboard needing to be replaced? Think it was called the cmos battery [01:23] Sierra: don' t be absurd [01:23] nmbvnm, ok that's because Ubuntu is set up by default to set the BIOS clock to UTC. We can change that [01:23] nmbvnm, open the command prompt, and run this: `sudo nano /etc/default/rcS` [01:24] nmbvnm, see if there's a line saying "UTC=yes" [01:24] if there is change it to say "UTC=no" [01:24] hello. could someone point me to the xorg.conf file on ubuntu 14.04? [01:24] asynechiea: doesnt exist by default [01:25] if i create one, will it work? [01:25] yes [01:25] great. now, why didn' t the setup one asked me about this? [01:26] all i want to do is enable a single command [01:26] nmbvnm, I'm sorry, I don't understand your last question there? [01:26] nmbvnm, by default, Ubuntu is configured to assume the hardware clock is set to UTC [01:26] Option "TripleBuffer" "True" [01:26] asynechiea: Siberia [01:26] during setup i was not asked what my sustem clock are set to [01:27] nmbvnm, so when the system runs for the first time and uses an internet time server to sync the time, it will get the time then set the system clock to UTC. I'm not sure why that's a default but it is. [01:27] so if i put only that in a text file, it will work? no other text needed? [01:27] asynechiea: unlikely [01:27] dragblax, what are you talking about? [01:27] !ops [01:27] Help! Channel emergency!

[01:29] nmbvnm, actually during system setup it asks you for your time zone. It won't ask what to set the BIOS (system) clock to === Sierra is now known as AdransNumber1Fan [01:30] asynechiea, are you using the nvidia or the mesa driver? [01:30] nmbvnm, as i have said, Ubuntu by default is configured to set the system time to UTC (or to make the assumption that it's set to UTC). THere's no installer option to ask that, because some users might have no idea what that is (especially newbies) [01:30] asynechiea: didn't one get created installing nvidia [01:30] this exists, apparently [01:30] nvidia driver. The resaon I'm doing this is because I get VSync in any full screen game that doesn't use Vsync [01:30] Does anyone know why the software updater didn't try to update the openssl package? [01:31] sorry, that should say: The resaon I'm doing this is because I get screen tearing in any full screen game that doesn't use Vsync [01:31] waff [01:31] nmbvnm: on dual boot systems with uefi Windows time zones run amok. [01:32] Actually, why does apt not upgrade openssl? [01:33] XepoofBNC: it does [01:33] asynechiea: Did u instal nvidia proprietary [01:33] yes I did [01:34] I had to use dpkg for it, Ben64 . [01:34] XepoofBNC, why? [01:34] XepoofBNC: without any detail, I have no idea what you're talking about [01:35] XepoofBNC: but it sounds suspiciously like you're doing something terribly wrong [01:35] So, for instance, I'm using PCSX-R (PSX emulator). When I use the XVideo driver for it, I can do full screen fine, but it has screen tearing because this video plugin doesn't support Vertical Sync. If I switch to OpenGL Screen tearing is fixed but there is an incompatibility with Unity where Unity appears overlayed over the full screen. [01:35] apt-get upgrade openssl told me 'it is already the latest version', but, apparently the version of it is 0.9.8 [01:35] Is there some way I could hide Unity completely? Including the grey bar at the top? [01:35] asynechiea, open the nvidia settings or whatever is called and click to create a xorg.conf. I think there should be an option to do that. Or check if there are options related to double buffering available [01:36] XepoofBNC: what version of ubuntu [01:36] trusty [01:36] asynechiea: Did u run nvidia-xconfig [01:37] asynechiea: that will create sort [01:37] no, I've not tried that dragblax [01:37] asynechiea: that will create xorg file [01:37] that command doesnt work [01:37] 14.04.1 LTS [01:37] XepoofBNC, you are fine. openssl has been patched against the heartbleed bug and all the subsequent vulnerabilities. [01:38] 1.0.1f is in the vulnerable range [01:38] asynechiea: put sudo in front. [01:38] XepoofBNC, doesn't matter. openssl in ubuntu is secure already. It is patched [01:38] nmbvnm: XepoofBNC :: Ben64 ; Strange ? as sysop@1404mini:~$ ii openssl 1.0.1f-1ubun amd64 .

I have a program that requires 1.0.1g or greater [01:40] then that is up to you, not ubuntu's fault [01:40] XepoofBNC, right [01:40] why you no provide updated software, canon?!

[02:28] Farva: Tried cli command top? [02:28] ubuntu ui has degraded much since 8.04 [02:28] Farva, a good rule of thumb is when the load value in top exceeds the number of physical CPU cores you have. So if the load is 3 and you have 4 physical cores, you're ok [02:28] Agemixer: I am trying to understand how it works really [02:28] you could customize things back there] [02:28] so if the load is .7 and I have 2 cores [02:28] I am fine [02:29] what if I have 2 cores, and only one core is being used by the process that is responsible for that .7? === superspring_ is now known as superspring [02:31] gdi2k: UnGood, for comparrison my output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8155242/ .

[02:33] Bashing-om, that would be too easy! [02:33] Farva, if you have a single threaded application that is maxing out its core, then it will not be running as fast as it wants to [02:34] I am just trying to understand the shifts in numbers actually [02:34] like, we see the process spike up to .7, then we see it drop to .4, its usually around .5 [02:34] you really need to understand "load" on linux [02:35] yes, I do [02:35] can you point me to a good article or something that does not read like german stereo instructions?

[02:57] i m trying to configure the apache server and its configured [02:57] but when i save the file in sublime it doesnt run in the browser [02:57] !permissions | sajan [02:57] sajan: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [02:57] it says error 404 not found [02:58] i did it as per the online tutorial [02:58] sajan: quite possible that the file is not being saved in a way that allows www-data user to read it [02:59] Agemixer: hows it going? [03:00] somsip, when i do your command it says event not found in terminal [03:00] teololtoy: Well i'm not going to do a upgrade as i'd rather continue with 12.04 [03:01] sajan: I haven't told you to do a command. You need to tell us what the permissions are on the file you just created in sublime, and where it is saved. Use "ls -la" and paste the output [03:01] !paste | sajan [03:01] sajan: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[03:02] teololtoy: However, it looks like i have 12.04.5 and this one should be continuted until 2017... or have i messed something? [03:03] somsip, http://i.imgur.com/svnjOZo.png [03:03] Well then you're all set it seems, Agemixer. [03:04] Bashing-om: Understood, but i'm not on Trusty :) [03:05] teololtoy: Ok so should i just be patient with updates? :) [03:05] sajan: this does not show the output of ls -la, and you need to logout and back in after adding yourself to www-data group. I'd also recommend chmod g+s -R /var/www so anything created in there has a group of www-data, which is okay to do on a test server [03:06] Hi. I'm installing ubuntu 14.04 LTS in my laptop [03:06] I have 120 GB SSD and 320 GB HDD. [03:07] I need to install ubuntu in SSD. What's the recommanded partition ? [03:07] Agemixer: if you're not nagged by lack of forward hardware support, and likewise, you should just accept updates as they come, afaik. [03:07] hemangpatel, usual size: / about 8 gigs /swap (optional!) /home theremainder [03:08] hemangpatel, i would let ubuntu do thepartitioning [03:08] somsip, http://i.imgur.com/Ieht5rM.png [03:09] teololtoy: Ok, perhaps that's ok then :) Thanks! [03:09] Ok,im having an issue. i just started having this issue. My speakers wont work unless i have my earphones plugged in to the front jack,then the speakers start working.if i unplug,they stop working :-/ [03:09] Bashing-om: HWE? [03:10] sydney, sounds like a hardware issue [03:10] i just ran some updates. :-/ [03:10] too [03:10] maybe a reboot will help? [03:11] cfhowlett : ok. But root partition comes into SSD ? Can i ignore swap partition ? I have 2 GB ram. [03:11] I need fast boot time. [03:12] hemangpatel, as I understand it; you'll need swap for suspend. and assigning 2 - 4 gigs to swap should have no discernible effect on boot time. [03:12] !swap [03:12] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [03:13] cfhowlett : ok but how can i use my SSD in partition while booting system ? [03:13] somsip, http://i.imgur.com/Ieht5rM.png [03:13] Agemixer: That be the (H)ard(W)are (E)nablement (Stack) for 12.04 to utilze the later kernels for the newer hardware . All under trusty's are EOL now. [03:13] hemangpatel, you can. I haven't and I refuse to advise on something I've never touched. asked again in channel - it's caveman easy or so I'm told. [03:13] Hmm,didnt fix. it also starts automuted? [03:14] cfhowlett : ok no problem :) [03:14] let me google. [03:15] Hello. Can anyone tell me where I can find old .deb packages for software that was upgraded? [03:15] Bashing-om: Ok... But what i have read from several sources that 12.04 should be supported until 2017? [03:16] !lts | Agemixer, correct. 5 years of support [03:16] Agemixer, correct. 5 years of support: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [03:17] Agemixer: Yes. That is a fact .. But the HWE kernels less that of trusty are no longer supported. IF you are at 12.04.5, you are set. [03:20] I'm struggling to find the previous version of Chromium before the upgrade to ver36. Does anyone know where I can find .deb packages for it? [03:20] hi all, i have two different ubuntu 12 servers with vsftpd 2.3.5, identical vsftpd.confs, one I can connect to and do PASV and its fine, the other it doesnt work. any idea how to troubleshoot? they are both amazon servers and have identical security settings [03:21] Bashing-om: What do you exactly mean with "IF you are at 12.04.5, you are set" ? [03:22] Earl2day: define "security settings"; have you checked iptables? external firewalls? network routing? [03:22] Bashing-om: Am i in the future now? 8-) [03:22] as in amazon security settings that work in lieu of iptables [03:22] which ports are open [03:23] wow,, i have a problem. apparently my /tmp is resized to 1MB because my disk was full, then i resied it with GParted [03:23] and now i'm following instructinos here (http://serverfault.com/questions/470342/why-do-i-get-no-space-left-on-device-when-running-mail), but i can't umount /tmp [03:23] what do i do now?? [03:25] Agemixer: The updated version of 12.04 is 12.04.5. lsb_release -a ; see where you are at. [03:25] Joe_knock: 25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.10.04.1: amd64 i386 <- http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium&searchon=names&suite=lucid-updates§ion=all . [03:26] Bashing-om: Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS [03:27] Agemixer: Great, you are set 'til April 2017 . [03:27] it says dbus-daem has a lock on /tmp,, can i kill this process so i can resize /tmp? [03:27] Bashing-om: Ok.. thanks :D For a while i was scared of being outdated [03:28] Bashing-om: (despite the fact i'm myself outdated but that's a different story ;) [03:28] Agemixer: Many were in that boat. ( HWE was a pain to get over for many ). [03:29] Bashing-om: That is giving me the latest version only. Chromium seems to have broken video-rendering with the upgrade to version 36 on 12.04 [03:30] Bashing-om: I can imagine. Thanks for your help! [03:30] * jonwommack has had issues with Chrome videos for some time on 14.04 [03:31] Joe_knock: You asked where you could get an earlier version than 36. Not how the system could install it. [03:31] jonwommack: Are you also not able to play flash/youtube videos at all? [03:31] They play but they're choppy and in general horrible [03:31] Bashing-om: I am trying to search for a .deb package and will install it manually. [03:32] Agemixer: Pleased to be of some small help . : D [03:32] just a note that it may be an issue with chrome on ubuntu and possibly not ubuntu itself [03:32] jonwommack: It was working fine for me in a previous version and then it died. I downgraded right to version 18, but I am now trying to get back to 35, so my profile works. [03:33] Bashing-om: But then again... i haven't received a single package update for 2 weeks. Is that normal behavior at the time? [03:34] Joe_knock: The link I gave is from 10.04// version 25 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) and will provide a .deb file. As to how what happens when you try to install it, that is a horse of another color. [03:34] Agemixer: If you dont have PPAs and not much software installed, updates do take a while to come out. [03:35] Joe_knock: Ok [03:35] Bashing-om: I tried to install what looked like version 35 from a debian package, but it failed spectacularly. Does anyone know what version of Debian is 12.04 based on? [03:35] Agemixer: 12.04.5 is stable, and I can accept that now after the point release there is not much going on. [03:36] joe, same link shows 12.04 chromium version to also be 36. [03:37] Bashing-om: Allright. :) [03:37] Bashing-om: Yeah, that's the latest release. Synaptic shows the previous one to be 18 (a bit too far back IMO). [03:39] yeah, video functionality is completely dead on this version. [03:40] hello [03:41] if i want to install ubuntu on a part of my SSD labelled "free space" how should i go about that? [03:41] would getting ubuntu on a USB drive and installing it that way work as expected? [03:42] hephaestus_rg: Is there anything else on the SSD? [03:42] osx [03:42] Is it partitioned? [03:43] the SSD itself is 120gb, there's a 80gb partition where osx lives, the rest is unlabled in disk utility, (i assume "free space") [03:43] Joe_knock: IF you install a earlier version of chromium on your system, you are going to be in dependency hell for sure ! DONT. I have seen where folks have got 'pepper' flash to work in chromium. [03:44] Bashing-om: I am installing flash 11.2 now. Let's see if the tarts at Google and the tarts at Adobe provide something that works. === AdransNumber1Fan is now known as Sierra [03:51] ok i opened all ports in the security group and I still cant go into passive mode [03:51] any suggestions?

[04:26] nice dude [04:26] wew [04:27] i got problem with usb wifi [04:27] Yeah? [04:27] what card is it?

[04:28] yea. already modprobe, but didnt appear, rt2800usb === Iota-Spencer is now known as IotaSpencer [04:28] which if I remember right it just worked, but I may have been lucky, [04:29] you have a wireless dish and you still got lucky? now theres one for the history books [04:29] not appear in iwconfig, wondering [04:30] Had, and it was an rt2800 under the hood, so I think that helped. The antenna was just wrapped into a dish enclosure, but it did work decently. [04:30] fair enough, i used to do that with a sieve. [04:31] I bought it that way I should point out, it was from Hawking Wireless and was OSX compatible so that was a nice bonus at the time. [04:31] nice [04:31] In any case, we have derailed this fellow’s need for help! [04:31] sorry broseph [04:31] not in iwconfig then modprobe failed [04:32] tail dmesg [04:32] also did you try different usb port [04:32] Earl2day, same also [04:33] hm. [04:33] do any of you buy Win-free laptops in the area you live? [04:33] lsusb [04:33] I can’t unless I order it from the interwebs [04:33] Earl2day, Bus 002 Device 043: ID 15a9:0013 Gemtek [04:34] ok so its definitely not a hw issue [04:34] just drivers [04:34] compile from src perhaps? [04:34] wait, blacklisting. [04:34] I had to blacklist a driver back when I was working with it. [04:35] I forget which distro I was on exactly, but I think it was Backtrack 5 [04:35] which of course is ancient now but I just remembered that. [04:35] is that the gross one which ran ontop of ubuntus GUI [04:35] no that was the Pen Testing one [04:36] all bt are for pentesting lol [04:36] well yeah [04:36] when they made the transition from slackware to ubuntu it was a rough start lets say [04:36] but when you said gross one [04:36] << not bt fan [04:36] there was one in particular that was slow as all hell [04:36] I wasn’t sure what you meant by “gross” xD [04:36] skipped and went to kali [04:36] fair enough [04:37] But I remember needing to blacklist the rt2800 driver I think so it would load the USB variant [04:38] Earl2day: lol backtrack [04:38] i would go with arch [04:39] I ran Arch for awhile, liked the bleeding edge for apps but found it difficult for my skill level to keep up [04:40] ave since improved and found I no longer have the patience, so I stick to Debian and similar variants, or I just go Fedora. [04:40] Current project is getting ubuntu-touch working on my Nexus 5 though [04:44] Lol See I should get into Fedora as my school sponsors such projects, like pidora etc [04:44] sadly they do not use debian. [04:45] infidels [04:45] We use it at work for Data recovery because it’s stable. [04:45] I used Fedora on my MacBook Pro because it worked OOB. [04:45] I like CentOS better [04:45] versus needing Refind/Refit for Debian and some significant modding. [04:47] will there ever be a ubuntu/bsd? [04:47] kfreebsd ? no ? [04:48] yea [04:48] there's a debian that uses the bsd kernel [04:48] cool too. been playing since beta. === amir_ is now known as Guest8015 [05:01] help - Im looking to install the 64 bit version of pomodoroapp - from http://www.teamviz.com/downloads/, how do I run the source file ?

[07:07] fits: it will depend on the architecture of the phone and how you expect to install it [07:09] ah..I need a small tablet for my class....I dont want to carry my giant laptop to everywhere....... [07:09] :-C [07:13] Does Ubuntu ever upgrade software for a specific release? [07:13] china is building their own operating system nowadays [07:14] !touch | LeelooOnline [07:14] LeelooOnline: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [07:15] Lewoco: for some packages like browsers and kernels: yes. others only get patched for security or bugfix reasons but dont increase the version number [07:15] k1l, Wierd. Why do they do it differently for browsers and kernels? [07:16] it is Chinese goverment is building their own system....and they woulnt success [07:17] its too much effort to patch the browsers since they upgrade a lot in very short time. kernels get upgrades in lts releases from the backport kernels for hardware support reasons. [07:17] LeelooOnline: please use the #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. this channel is for specific support questions [07:18] ...sorry.. [07:18] k1l, No I mean why do they try to upgrade the browsers at all, given that they don't try to update most other software? [07:18] Lewoco: its security reasons. [07:18] its programmers who work for Chinese goverment is building goverment's system [07:18] You are using lts? [07:18] s/You are/are You/ [07:19] and it is called Ubuntu-kylin [07:20] Ubuntu-chan ? [07:31] is there a way i can run a script on resume from hibernation? [07:32] frib: Sure. [07:32] frib: /etc/sleep.d/ [07:32] Or something like that. [07:32] that dir doesn't exist [07:33] ok it's /etc/pm/sleep.d found it thx! [07:36] Hello [07:36] Needed a help... [07:37] how can I install g77 in ubuntu 14.04? [07:37] all the repositories that I checked are old [07:37] any help? [07:37] ajay2: Old? Ubuntu has prety decent gcc. [07:38] ajay2: explain yourself [07:38] ajay2, mine is 4.6.3 [07:42] «gfortran has replaced the g77 compiler, which stopped development before GCC version 4.0» -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gfortran [07:42] mine is 4.8.2 [07:42] That's probably why you're only finding "old" versions of g77 [07:43] but when I try sudo apt-get install g77, then I get an error [07:43] there is no g77 package [07:43] im having issues connecting google and hotmail, all other sites connect normally..what could cause this? [07:44] Well.... I need to install octave in my system and it needs fotron compilers [07:44] I installed fotr77 successfully, but I need this g77 [07:46] ajay2: g77 doesn't exist anymore, it's been replaced by gfortran [07:46] cool... then I'll install gfortran\ [07:48] ajay2: Wait, installing octave.. From repo? === fred is now known as Guest48616 [07:49] No... I downloaded octave from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave [07:49] Install from repo, man.. [07:50] then I did ./configure [07:50] and it asked for fortron compilers [07:50] Okay [07:50] will dependencies get satisfied if I install from repo? [07:51] ajay2: yes, that's the whole point of having a package management system in the first place [07:51] Is there a usual way to change owner, group, and permissions after rsynching some files? [07:51] Okay... thank you, guys [07:51] tac: you want the files to have a different ownership than the originial files? [07:52] yeah. It's basically a server program I wrote [07:52] I want to create a simple deployment script to copy the executable to another box, then change it to be owned by the user responsible for executing it [07:53] well, you could do the rsync as that user [07:54] hmm [07:54] <|Marco|> hmm? [07:54] <|Marco|> :D [07:54] there is one more issue [07:55] I want to install open-vibe and adastra [07:55] but adastra is written in c# and mono IDE can deal with it... but it has no linux deb file [07:56] and open-vibe is having lot of dependency issues [07:56] ajay2: Have you added any PPAs? [07:57] As far as I remember, No [07:57] Btw, "ad astra" is a cool name. Latin for "to stars" [07:57] ;D [07:57] None of these packages exist in repo.

[09:00] man mount then /-t then hit n until you find the right match [09:00] hackal: groups [09:02] waressearcher2: and when I am trying to change ownership from root to my username should I use some group in which I am and root not? [09:06] hackal: if you don't use "group" for chown command it will stay as it was, so you full "name:group" to change them both [09:13] hackal: As a special case, you can do chown username: file in which case it will change the group ownership to the user's primary group === nik is now known as Guest87797 [09:15] geirha: I have user adam and first group was also adam so I did adam:adam [09:15] geirha: I was changing ownership of /var/www [09:15] Is there any known recent problems with flashplugin? I have two clients where it suddenly stopped working. On one computer there was release upgrade to 14.04 and it's ok to be broken after that, but flashplugin-installer is installed, multiverse repo seems to be enabled and everything looks fine. [09:15] Another computer is still on 12.04, I'm not sure if auto update is enabled there but yesterday it stopped working there too. [09:16] I don't have physical access to those machines so I want first to check if there are some known problems.

I've seen the wiki pages, but was wondering if someone can give me a simple explanation of the main advantages/disadvantages. [09:26] Atlantic777: i am in guest session i switched to my home account but when i tried to go back to my guest session it opened a new one [09:26] Atlantic777: i tried su guest but it did not work [09:26] junka1: oh, I'm not sure how guest sessions are working. Sorry... [09:28] is 12.04 a lot more stable since it's already been out for a while? I understand 12.04 is supported until 2017, but would it have the same "focus" as far as updates/support as 14.04? [09:28] newbster: use alt+ctrl+f2 -> sign in in one account in current tty, to use another tty for another account, use alt+ctrl+f2. Same combinations to switch ttys. [09:29] ^ alt-ctrl-f2 and alt-ctrl-f3 [09:29] network-monkey: i assume you are talking to me [09:29] network-monkey: I think he's talking about switching gui logins, not terminal sessions.

[09:31] I don't see any deb package for that === kerosene_ is now known as kerosene [09:31] what would happen if i did echo "disk" > /sys/power/state ? [09:31] is 12.04 a lot more stable since it's already been out for a while? I understand 12.04 is supported until 2017, but would it have the same "focus" as far as updates/support as 14.04? [09:33] I don't quiet understand how the ubuntu team works, hence I ask is 12.04 a lot more stable since it's already been out for a while? I understand 12.04 is supported until 2017, but would it have the same "focus" as far as updates/support as 14.04? [09:33] newbster: as with any other LTS release, it has newer software base. For most packages you'll get only updates for installed versions of software, like bugfixes or security patches. Now and then you'll get newer version for some packages (i.e. firefox, kernel...) [09:33] thank you Atlantic777 [09:34] there are also backport repos for getting packages (versions of software) from newer release into an older. So there's always a workaround. I wouldn't say that 12.04 is so much more stable than 14.04. [09:35] If you're installed fresh system, I would recommend to go for 14.04. It's simply more reasonable. [09:35] If you are thinking about doing upgrade on a system which is already set up, working and everything is in place... You are ok with staying on 12.04. [09:35] Atlantic777. Okay. I guess I'm just a little "turned-off" by the bugs and errors I encounter with 14.04 [09:36] anybody here? [09:36] how to install adastra in ubuntu? [09:36] newbster: just file a bug report on launchpad and wait for few days to be fixed. :) [09:37] hackal: in that case, adam: would be a shortcut for adam:adam either is fine [09:37] newbster: many like to install LTS versions after some time, when things settle down a bit. There are 12.04.4, or 14.04.1 and versions like that. [09:38] Atlantic777: I see. So going with the latest and greatest like 14.04 is like buying a brand new car that hasn't had much reviews from users, as opposed to a newer used car (12.04) ? [09:39] I'm new to all this (hence the nickname), which is why I'm seeking advice from here. [09:39] Except unlike a car, an OS doesn't wear out. [09:39] and it can be fixed [09:39] Cheaply usually. [09:40] geirha: does it matter what user owns /var/www? Or under same user must run apache2? [09:40] Cool, but I used car as a metaphor for me to understand the idea behind it [09:40] newbster: for new installation -> 14.04. If you have working 12.04 system, you don't need to upgrade to 14.04 for some time unless you have a good reason and you have to. [09:41] the car metaphor doesn't really explaining it because a bad car is staying bad forever, and new ubuntu release will quickly become stable and reasonably bugfree. [09:41] hello world! [09:41] it's just a matter of time [09:42] hackal, apache2 user (www-data) needs read access to the files in that dir, and read+execute for dirs. [09:42] Atlantic777, I've actually installed 12.04 to start with, then reformatted hdd to install 14.04. I am tempted to go back to 12.04 however, because my experience hasn't been smooth with 14.04, and since I'm quiet new, I don't "tinker" around with the OS much [09:43] hackal, it is advisable that www-data does NOT own files or dirs in /var/ww and that it has no write access unless required (like /var/www/upload if you have some upload functionality, etc) [09:43] but I'll take your advice on going with the newer, since in a matter of time - things will be bug free [09:43] newbster: then I recommend you to continue using 14.04 if it's somehow usable, tell us about problems you have and help us make it work for you and everyone else. === quem_ is now known as quem [09:43] there? [09:44] iptable: I changed the user for apache2 to run under adam and leaved default group www-data. /var/www directories are under user adam with group adam. [09:44] how to install adastra in ubuntu? [09:44] I don't want to use wine or playonlinux [09:45] ajay3, adastra what? there are a lot of apps known as adastra [09:45] i managed to hibernate using echo disk > /sys/power/state but it doesn't work if i simply prepend "sudo" to the command, i have to use "sudo su" first and then execute the command, which i can't make work in a script .. how can I? thanks [09:45] I mean this: https://code.google.com/p/adastra/ [09:45] Seems like everytime I update (today is the most recent), either errors will show up, or won't boot properly. i.e. I had to select the advanced menu at boot and had to select the generic, because after the most recent update, my dash and what not won't show, only desktop wallpaper. [09:46] hello [09:46] hackal, as stated, apache2 user should not have write access to files and dirs under /var/www. only read. otherwise you are exposing yourself to possible attacks. [09:47] anyone know how the Ubuntu team works - as far as who and how many gets delegated to certain projects? [09:47] ajay3, adastra is an application written for windows, not linux. you can either 1. run it in windows, 2. run it in wine/playonlinux, or 3. learn to code and make it work on linux. [09:47] i.e. 12.04 group 1 and 2 = total of 10 people, 14.04 all [09:48] ajay3, there is no "install it so that it will natively start woking on ubuntu magically" way I'm afraid. [09:48] yeah, I installed it successfully in wine [09:49] can anyone help me out by applying a patch to a package and rebuild it ? I cannot see the sourcefile I need for my patch [09:49] ajay3, and that's how you will have to use it [09:49] Okay, iptable [09:50] See... I've emotiv SDK and open-vibe, adastra and octave are dependencies for emotiv SDk [09:50] I installed open-vibe and octave in ubuntu and adastra in wine [09:50] will emotiv SDK recognize all these dependencies? [09:51] P.S: Emotiv SDK is installed in wine [09:51] any experts out there on security? [09:52] Do you recognize any errors in this /etc/crontab line? 55 15 * * 1-5 www-data /usr/local/bin/dradio detektor 190 The stream recording (script does that) isn’t showing up. If I run the command manually (sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/dradio detektor 190), it works. [09:52] no security experts here? [09:52] newbster it's usually more productive to just ask your question [09:52] okay [09:53] someone might know the answer but not be and expert. [09:53] for a certain file, sudo doesn't seem to give me privileges I have to run sudo su and then the command to edit the file .. how can I avoid this thanks? [09:53] an [09:53] There's this new article from Linux Journal regarding Linux security threats, and it's concerning me a bit. http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-security-threats-rise [09:53] frib what error message do you get? [09:53] qsl, just permission denied [09:54] frib: that's because redirection happens before the command (sudo echo) is run [09:54] geirha, not following you :\ [09:54] either enclose the command with redirection in a shell run with sudo, or use tee. [09:54] frib, what command did you execute? [09:54] sudo echo disk > /sys/power/state [09:54] sudo sh -c 'echo foo > file' or echo foo | sudo tee file [09:55] frib, you executed echo as sudo, wile the redirect is in normal user [09:55] ohh by redirect you mean | [09:55] or > rather [09:55] newbster: yeah and this article is far away from telling anything new in terms of security [09:55] yes, with your sudo echo disk > /sys/power/state it first opens the /sys/power/state file for writing, THEN it runs sudo echo disk [09:56] in case you have a question - ask it - otherwise dont expect a reply ;) [09:56] geirha, awesome thanks [09:56] frib, no, see geirha response to you just above mine [09:56] geirha, just to be safe, there is no disadvantage to hibernating this way as opposed to using pm-hibernate, right? [09:56] fidel: So you're saying that the security threats have always been on the rise? [09:57] ? [09:57] newbster: a lot of exploits rely on unpatched software, keep your machine updated and thats a big worry off you shoulders [09:57] ajay3, the answer is we don't know. we don't use this software. try it. if it doesn't work (and probably wont), you will have to have all those in the same wine container. [09:57] dont get me wrong - but this article is blabla - mentioning general known things and adding a catchy headline [09:58] frib: That I do not know [09:58] cynicallemon: okay. good enough [09:58] Let me be more clear... [09:58] It's called page fill [09:58] ciao [09:58] ajay3, being more clear won't help. We do not use adastra and do not know if it will figure out that you have vibe and octave outside of wine. === g_ is now known as Guest57214 [09:59] there are 4 software which are inter-dependent on each other.... Open-vibe, adastra, octave, emotive SDK are those 4 software [09:59] btw, a tech guy from a tech shop adviced me that someone who isn't all that "tech savvy" (like myself) would be generally more vulnerable in Linux. He adviced that Windows is more for people who want the plug-n-play experience. Is there truth to this? [09:59] adastra and emotiv SDK are installed in wine and other 2 in ubuntu [09:59] will emotive SDK recognize other 3 software? [10:00] newbster, no, that was a lie because the shopkeeper never used linux, doesn't know it, and is tech-scared [10:00] newbster, no. [10:00] Is this discussion related to ubuntu support? [10:00] newbster: No.... windows is more vunlerable [10:00] as long as you dont pretend to work as root & disable services you dont know - you should be fine with common linux distris ;) [10:00] qsl, this is ubuntu support. ask your qeustgions [10:00] newbster, try ubuntu desktop, or if you are totally new, linux mint is a viable alternative, as it feels closer to windows, but is still ubuntu under the hood (different UI). [10:00] questions [10:01] I know but that thread isn't a bit about ubuntu. [10:01] ajay3, as already stated, no idea. try it. no one currently present here uses adastra. most likely it won't recognize it [10:01] qsl, which one? [10:01] new bster's questions [10:01] and the replys. [10:02] newbster: linux is more secure and also gives users a "plug n play" experience [10:02] It's scaring me because all I know is how to click install on an anti-virus, firewall, and anti-malware. And I asked here because it is related to me using Ubuntu [10:02] qsl, why is that not related to ubuntu and support I do not know. It's a new user question who is looking for some answers. [10:02] newbster, facts > FUD [10:02] !firewall | newbster, [10:02] newbster,: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [10:02] newbster, ubuntu does not need antivirus and antimalware. so less clicking ;) [10:02] !antivirus | newbster [10:02] newbster: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [10:02] geirha, thanks anyway [10:03] anyone know of a way to run a script on resume from hibernate that uses echo disk > /sys/power/state [10:03] newbster, and all software can be installed form software centre, like on android on iPhone, making it safer not to download other stuff accidentally. [10:03] anyone tried to make a custom ubuntu cd with just updated software? I got ton of errors once I run "apt-get upgrade" :/ [10:03] alright. [10:03] what i dont like about ubuntu (and other distos) is the default permissions on home directoies [10:03] thank you everyone. especially about the firewall [10:03] ok, I downloaded the branche and now I need to generate the deb [10:03] and the links [10:03] iptable there is a general discussion channel for ubuntu. This is supposed to be for questions about ubuntu not the pros and cons of windows vs linux, etc. [10:04] newbster, happy to help + suggestions ... [10:04] newbster, www.fullcirclemagazine.org [10:04] But I'm obviously in the minority here today.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [10:04] !rute | and this too newbster [10:04] qsl, and yet we are so helpful that we give suggestions and our remarks on the subject. Is that so bad? no one is arguing here and we are all in unison [10:04] and this too newbster: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [10:04] hello..i have a problem with my filesystem.I cant open it..any solutions? [10:04] bazhang, yep, that was my next thought [10:04] btw, I wasn't trying to start a windows vs. linux. I was just trying to get some information on how to get started with ubuntu [10:04] kaushal, details [10:04] kaushal, hello again. [10:05] kaushal, more info please [10:05] Error mounting /dev/sda7 at /media/kaushal/Natsu: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda7" "/media/kaushal/Natsu"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).

In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows [10:05] then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very [10:05] important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate [10:05] kaushal 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 [10:05] iptable But it's not the forum for those questions. [10:05] kaushal, ok, so you moved to ntfs, let me ask you a question, DID you unmount and sync before unplugging the USB drive? [10:05] qsl, so what questions are expected here then? [10:05] kaushal, looks like you are corrupting all your filesystems [10:06] qsl, newbster noted. let's move on, shall we? [10:06] i seriously dont know [10:06] kaushal, is that filesystem still fresh after you wiped it yesterday? [10:07] newbster, "Do or Not Do... don't Try [10:07] kaushal, if so, let's redo it and I will guide you through what you should do before removing drives [10:07] :) [10:07] newbster: if you use windows, you can burn the downloaded ubuntu iso to a usb using win32diskimager utility. [10:07] kaushal, got a GUI or CLI only? [10:08] sorry guys. I really am just new to all this - hence the name... I really appreciate all the ones who have contributed and given suggestions, answers, and even links. Too many names to thank, but you know who you all are. Anyway, I have lots of links and reading material for tonight :) Thank you once again and have a great day/night [10:09] newbster, no problem at all [10:10] hello, i've got a problem with evolution connecting to a citadel email server. [10:11] Hello, I´ve updated my ubuntu server today. Right now I´m outside my house and connec´t to the server with ssh for somereason. I´´m 100% sure that the password is right [10:11] tobiasschoel, what protocol? [10:11] imap [10:11] HSaka: what's the actual problem ? [10:12] I´m getting permission denie [10:12] denied [10:12] HSaka: you've not stated a problem [10:12] tobiasschoel, so you have a problem making imap connection using evolution. standard imap, port 143? [10:12] HSaka: look on the console in the syslog to see why it's being rejected [10:12] And qsl, I suggest you become a chat police since you were acting like it ;) qsl, you remind me of those bitter people who have gone through the "hard path", therefore does not like to share the wealth and want others to either go the same hard path or harder. Thankfully you are outnumbered by people who want to contribute and help. qsl, for your sake, go meditate or pray and release all that bitterness. To everyone else, please ex [10:13] HSaka, so you are trying to ssh to your ubuntu server and cannot as you get permission denied? check logs on the ubuntu server [10:13] iptable yes, but also doesn't work on 465 [10:13] when I build a package an I get this: Unmet build dependencies: libdebconfclient0-dev (>= 0.46) libdebian-installer4-dev (>= 0.41) libiw-dev (>= 27+28pre9) [10:13] do I need to install the packages locally ? [10:13] tobiasschoel, telnet HOSTNAME 143 [10:14] tobiasschoel, if telnet opens, then: 0 LOGIN username password [10:14] tobiasschoel, 0 is part of command, replace username and password with correct ones [10:14] iptable, then I need to go home and do it. The strange thing is, when I´m trying to connect to my server local from home. I don´t get the problem. [10:14] iptable the pure connection is not the problem. it doesn't show any errors and thunderbird is working fine through that port [10:14] but evolution doesn't download any mail, although thunderbird does [10:15] HSaka, so possibly your router is not forwarding port 22 to the correct machine/at all, or your IP has changed [10:15] HSaka: make sure your connection details are correct and that youre not using CAPS LOCK by mistake [10:15] tobiasschoel, can you please try to login as stated, using telnet, and by typing in the credentials you are using in evolution? [10:15] halo [10:15] iptable, already checked everyhing [10:15] everything [10:15] iptable logged in using telnet [10:16] iptable seemed to work [10:16] cynicallemon, it´s correct [10:16] tobiasschoel, ok, so it is a pure evolution issue. [10:16] yes, I think so, too [10:16] HSaka: have you looked at the syslog to see why ssh is rejecting the connection ? [10:16] HSaka, can you please tell us the whole thing then? are you sure it is YOUR EXTERNAL IP you are trying to connect to? [10:16] HSaka: does the server respond to pings? [10:17] ikonia, I will do it when I´m home then [10:17] HSaka, you will need to [10:17] Hey guys, i dont want to use a bundled home router but i live in the uk, and trying to find an adsl modem (and not router) is proving difficult. I have a speedtouch 330 - but cant' seem to get it working in the latest distros, it detects it but cant seem to get an interface like /dev/ttys0 to talk to it with. I wonder what other peope use as a modem of adsl (pppoatm)? [10:17] iptable. it does. when I go by webbrowser it works fine [10:17] tobiasschoel, remove the evolution profile and reinsert it, might work. [10:17] HSaka: no point discussing it until you can check that [10:17] tobiasschoel, let me rephrase, remove from your user home directory the .evolution dir and start evolution again [10:18] HSaka, you will need to check logs then o nthe server [10:18] ikonia, okey :) THank you for info [10:18] iptable will try that [10:18] tobiasschoel, not using 2-factor-auth with your email, are you? (like SSO, ubuntu one, etc) [10:19] no, only password [10:19] tobiasschoel, evolution profile reset might help then === sins-_h is now known as sins- [10:20] tobiasschoel, alternatively start evolution form command line terminal and see what errors you get [10:20] zoidberg-, what provider? [10:21] zoidberg-, and most people I know in UK who have pure ADSL and want just a modem use this: http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/business/vigor-120 [10:23] zoidberg-: you don't interact with a router like a modem [10:23] zoidberg-: the route will have all the details configured on it as a device you just plugin to it as either eithernet or wireless and use it like a gateway [10:24] iptable deleting the .evolution dir and restarting evolution didn't help [10:24] ikonia, user wants to have a modem-only device and use linux box as router. and speedtouch 330 IS a modem, not a router. [10:24] tobiasschoel, what error are you getting? [10:24] iptable: I've missunderstood then [10:25] iptable: the vigor-120 is excelent, used one for years [10:25] Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with oidentd and znc. My ident isn't being spoofed with znc. I checked the ~/.oidentd.conf file to see if znc is writing to it and it is. However when I connect to IRC not all the servers I connect to are using the spoofed ident, only some are. Here is my /etc/oidentd.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/8158151/ [10:25] ikonia, yeah, and I owned a speedtouch in the past. nasty devices which never work as required. oh, and most speedtouch ones are USB devices. [10:25] iptable post the log here directly? [10:25] tobiasschoel, no use a pastebin [10:26] iptable http://pastebin.com/Hha4urc1 [10:26] iGerald741: seems an odd requirement when routers are £5 [10:27] tobiasschoel, looks like your email server is not sending the correct IMAP ending and evolution is very picky about it, while thunderbird tends to ignore errors and plunge on. [10:27] hail thunderbird [10:27] ikonia, not really. I didn't want a router at home. I use a modem and my linux HP Microserver as router and PBX device. why is that weird [10:27] hello to all === ubuntu is now known as Guest67746 [10:28] iptable: not weird, just an odd requirement that not many inexperinced people would want [10:28] ikonia, it also lets me have 2 wifi networks, one home network and one guest. and I have a linxu router on the endpoint, which is nice from the iptables point of view. [10:28] iptable: I have a similar setup, [10:28] ikonia, I'm guessing that is an experienced user ;) [10:28] ok, strange issue with building a package using bzr [10:29] net < vigor120 > pfsense [10:29] dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting [10:32] zoidberg-, if you are not an experienced linux adminsitrator, my advice would be to buy a router and use that. you can even buy a router certified for openwrt or ddwrt and flash it with those to have a linux router. configuring pppoa yourself is NOT an easy task [10:33] iptable: its not that hard === n`aw is now known as NDrop [10:35] iptable: IIRC, ubuntu has/had a command line configurator for pppoa [10:36] iptable: thats fine, i was specifically reffering to the hardware PPPoA is not that bad to configure pppd/libatm1 \ [10:38] zoidberg-, hardware PPPoA, as in a router. or hardware modulator so that you do PPPoA on your linux router? modem would be the vigor, whereas if you want a device that will do PPPoA, you are looking at a router. [10:39] i dont want a device to do PPPoA i want a modem that passes it down to the ethernet interface its connected to [10:39] e.g. a linux router [10:40] zoidberg-, so just a modulator. in that case the vigor is what you need [10:40] zoidberg-, vigor 120 [10:40] zoidberg-: vigor 120 or 130 [10:41] zoidberg-: pass through option is as simple as a tick box [10:41] what key do I miss ? gpg: skipped "Colin Watson ": secret key not available [10:43] ciao [10:44] iptable, cynicallemon: awesome, thanks guys [10:48] hey iptable why the vigor120 specifically? and not something like: http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DSL-320B-ADSL2-Ethernet-Modem/dp/B0015RRIKM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1409136367&sr=8-5&keywords=vigor+120 which is cheaper and a simple modem? [10:49] zoidberg-, because I know that the vigor works and I don't like dlink, but that is a personal choice [10:49] ok cool [10:52] quick, i need to know how to relay wifi to ethernet port [11:08] hi [11:09] I was reading topics such as this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/gerontology/comments/2ejo9g/how_to_convince_people_that_defeating_death_is/ [11:09] does anyone here works in this field?

[14:01] shubhojeet, never mind, found it [14:01] AlexPortable, in the launcher or the dash? [14:01] whats launcher? [14:01] The directory is chmod to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) [14:01] truepurple: right click on a file in your home directory and click on properties and then click on the permissions tab [14:01] Um could I ask if anyone has experience with frame rate issues with Source games like Team Fortress 2?

[14:05] i got it myself [14:05] shubhojeet, hotkeys dont work either, ctrl c and ctrl p etc does not copy and past like it should [14:05] thegoat: how do I allow directory browsing in the apache config?

[14:08] kostkon: yes but then how do i remove amazon? [14:08] thegoat: actually, I don't think that is the problem. When I go to the directory through a client, all the contents (the files) display fine. But when I click on one of the files to download or play it, I get the (13)Permission denied error. [14:08] if i move it to my desktop it says ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop [14:08] expunge: what's up? [14:08] AlexPortable, are you using unity? or some other desktop environment [14:09] gnome fallback [14:09] I dont remember the ubuntu iso being 1 GB -.- [14:09] truepurple: spacefm is another file browser.. what is your ubuntu version ? [14:09] AlexPortable, right. There should be a menu editor somewhere. Or you could install one from the software centre. Use it to delete the amazon menu entry [14:09] well i want to remove it completely [14:09] instead of only being hidden [14:09] someone might unhidden it [14:10] NicksCode, things change.

[14:19] where i can get the torrent file? [14:19] everything worked fine until i restarted computer [14:19] thegoat: ok that worked, but that's not a good solution.

[14:21] thegoat: oh, that was totally the problem! My older files had the wrong permissions. [14:21] AlexPortable: did you look into the official ubuntu repos if there is something supported? [14:21] there is not [14:21] nagerst: power off [14:21] They were set to 600. I set them to 644 and it's all good now. [14:21] thegoat: thanks!

I have been trying to figure out how to create a slideshow from images using ffmpeg. Is there any other way to create a slideshow from images with transitions from the command line? [14:23] mistawright, avconv or imagemagick [14:23] k1l_: also on windows you just move it into program files and done [14:23] but there is no program files on ubuntu [14:23] avconv is just ffmpeg from libav, no? =P [14:24] mistawright: #ffmpeg would have the skinny [14:24] AlexPortable: i think you are on the wrong path. dont try to do it the windows way on ubuntu [14:24] expunge, well, there's an interesting story behind all that ... [14:24] not that interesting =) [14:24] Hi. [14:24] which FUSE driver can I use to mount some directory of my webspace (apache, file listing on) as a read-only FS? [14:24] Using exec() in my php script, ubuntu 14.04.4, php 5.4. [14:25] i tried fusedav but PROPFIND fails [14:25] wget with the -O option produces this output in the error log: sh: 1: -O: not found [14:25] in other words, it's ignoring the argument and trying to interpret it as a file [14:25] Sven_vB: sshfs [14:25] Any reason why this would be? [14:25] williamtdr: in your init script? [14:25] how can tar up a specific directory? :/ [14:25] k1l_: what should i do then? [14:25] expunge, i'm surprised but i'll try… :) [14:26] k1l_: i don't feel like executing it from ~/Documents/ [14:26] AlexPortable: what is the target? [14:26] expunge: Nope, using exec() to escape to the shell in a php script running as www-data [14:26] Sven_vB: perhaps I don't understand your goal =) [14:26] target? [14:26] scrooge_mcduck: tar -czf foo.tar directory [14:26] scrooge_mcduck: ahem [14:26] scrooge_mcduck: tar -czf foo.tar.gz directory [14:26] AlexPortable: on ubuntu you dont load stuff from websites and execute it. you take a look what is made to work with the packagesystem. best case the official ubuntu repos [14:27] williamtdr: you should be using curl, or file_get_contents at a push. Why drop to exec()? [14:27] k1l_: the application is teamviewer quicksupport [14:27] traceroute is not installed by default -.- [14:27] also skype wasn't [14:27] I guess file_get_contents() would work better in this case, thanks, will use that instead. [14:27] AlexPortable: you can just tar -xf it and run the executable in the teamviewer9 dir [14:27] AlexPortable: might not work unless you have a local Wine install, though, IME [14:27] yes but that dir is ~/Documents/teamviewer now [14:28] AlexPortable: so? [14:28] i want another directory [14:28] someone might move it and then the start menu shortcut will break [14:28] AlexPortable: skype is in the partner repo [14:29] AlexPortable: you can put it anywhere you please [14:29] AlexPortable: and teamviewer offers .deb packages [14:29] the normal teamviewer is .deb [14:29] the quick support is .tar.gz [14:30] how to enable partner repo? [14:30] AlexPortable: sorry but you are talking about linking it etc, so it doubt that is the best solution here [14:30] huh [14:30] AlexPortable: you could just make a symlink to the binary like this "ln -s /home/AlexPortable/Documents/program/binary /usr/bin/whateveryouwouldliketocalltheshortcut" [14:30] well how am i going to put it in my start menu without linking [14:31] AlexPortable: most menu shortcuts are .desktop files that you edit with a simple text editor [14:31] i download the iso file at least 4 times and this the md5 i get 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd [14:31] AlexPortable: why dont you make a real install of teamviewer if you want the real install with all its benefits? [14:31] Bez: which iso file? [14:31] expunge: woei :D [14:31] because i dont need all benefits [14:31] easier then i thought [14:31] scrooge_mcduck: ? [14:31] scrooge_mcduck: oh, tar? [14:31] i only need quicksupport for the owner of the laptop [14:32] ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64 [14:32] teamviewer itself will make it confusing [14:32] Bez, does it match the reported hash? [14:32] i've used it, but they will ask me which password they need to fill in [14:32] no [14:32] bez then stop downloading!!!! [14:32] AlexPortable: ok, its your choice then [14:32] expunge, i'm sharing part of my media collection via HTTP already for some devices, and would like to add an ubuntu notebook as a playback station. i want to save VLC from having to figure out what best to do for buffering and seeking, so i'd like to disguise it as just files. [14:32] Bez, remember I suggested you use torrent. much more reliable method [14:32] i used the torrent the last time [14:33] Bez: that looks like the right sum to me [14:33] Bez, make sure you are checking the correct sum for your ubuntu version. [14:33] is there any way I can disable s with ^or '? [14:33] when i type don't, i get don' [14:33] AlexPortable: hrmm? [14:33] becuase it tries to put ' on the t, which it shouldn't [14:33] on windows i type; <'> [14:34] i compared with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [14:34] expunge, probably i should just activate webdav on apache, so it does reply to the PROPFIND [14:34] Bez: check the md5sum here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/MD5SUMS [14:34] on ubuntu i have to type; <'> [14:34] Bez, but did you download 14.04 or 14.04.1 [14:34] Bez: its not updated for 14.04.1 yet [14:34] Bez: check my url. its all fine [14:34] Sven_vB: mebbe, #httpd ? [14:35] how can i see the currently running foreground process [14:35] thx again [14:35] AlexPortable: sounds like your text configs are goofed [14:36] i just did a clean install [14:36] how can i fix them? [14:36] also it allows me to put ' and ^ on s [14:36] AlexPortable: screenshot, just to be sure? [14:36] normally you would put them on é and ê [14:36] expunge, that wouldn't be a problem that much, it's just that since i only want read access anyways, i wondered whether there was an easier way that uses the directory indexes for file listing. [14:36] screenshot of what? [14:36] also is teamviewer in the repos?

[16:25] pls [16:25] hi there, if i copy single parition with ubuntu from 1 hard drive to another harddrive, after grub repair, whould it just work? do any parts in ubuntu config files bind to some specific device name that would prevent a stupid simple copy?

You would want to use something like clonezilla or a live disk so that you are not running from the partition you're copying. [16:27] thecha: You mean the USB does not boot? How did you create it? [16:28] jhutchins : yeah done but no answer for an hour === amphibian is now known as Guest59141 [16:29] Blenda: I would expect that you would need to use their forums and/or mailing list, and expet a response time of days, not hours. [16:30] jhutchins u're right, but at is a "simple" linux question, i was hoping help here. [16:36] Hi there. I am having problems with remmina running on ubuntu 14.04 and trying to connect to another 14.04 server instance via SSH.

[16:50] uefi bios [16:50] eike_52n: I'd see if they have any trobleshooting docs - check /usr/share/doc/remmina... and the project website. [16:55] jhutchins, I am currently building the latest version following https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/wiki/Compile-on-Ubuntu-14.04 to see if it is a ubuntu or remmina bug [16:57] Idealien: Looks like the mirror is updating, with the Release and Release.gpg files not yet fully updated [16:58] Idealien: The other cause is a local captive portal or HTTP proxy returning its own page without a 404 error, causing apt to save it as a valid Release file [16:58] TJ: Thx - How can you tell eta to done and/or when it started? Been hitting this wall most of morning [16:59] TJ: I suspect the latter scenario at my current location. [16:59] Idealien: I dealt with a genuine bad signature on the .de mirror a few days ago; I'm actually just completing a program that verifies the signatures on all the mirrors worldwide [17:00] I sent an email to security@ubuntu.com which is officially announced on http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ about CVE-2014-5461 and there is still no response (that was 4 days ago) [17:00] red hat and ubuntu both replied in less than 12 hours [17:01] err sorry red hat and debian [17:01] so maybe there is an issue with your security team [17:01] I'm trying to install a software on ubuntu, after doing all the necassary (.desktop file, etc), I've found 2 apps having the same name into classicmenu-indicator.

The command verifies the file on the server: "gpg: Good signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key " [17:05] " [17:06] MrJones_: you can speak to the security team in #ubuntu-hardened [17:06] Idealien: So, you've got a local proxy issue [17:06] any suggestion ? [17:06] a cheap one i guess Wudo [17:06] ??? [17:07] how to search a word on all of the files of my ubuntu system ?

[17:07] I don't care about much about money [17:07] then any laptop can do it [17:07] how to search a word on all of the files of my ubuntu system ? [17:07] But it has to just work with Linux out of box [17:08] I mean holding the ubuntu system ! [17:08] xar [17:08] do man arc [17:08] ack [17:09] I'm experiencing slow boot times.

[17:16] MonkeyDust: When I login I just get my desktop image, but no icons or tiles; I tried 'sudo startx' in console, got my desktop files, but nothing else. Then I rebooted, and now when I try to login the screen goes blank for a second, then returns me to the login screen. I'm pretty new at this, so sorry if I'm a little noobish. [17:16] xar: will take forever [17:17] MonkeyDust: I tried running the boot repair utility off USB (results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8160316/). [17:17] MonkeyDust: Any help would be super appreciated!

[17:21] Nic343: If you used "sudo startx" the "/home/$USER/,Xauthority" file will likely now be owned by 'root'. "sudo rm /home/$USER/.Xauthority" should allow the log-in to succeed again, but you'll still have the Unity disappearing panel to deal with [17:21] Does anyone here use everpad successfully? [17:22] My google account is not connecting in Evolution. The program is getting the login information from the Online accounts section of Ubuntu. Should I be adding the account into Evolution directly instead? [17:22] MonkeyDust: Stupid question but I need to swap $USER with my actual username right [17:22] Idealien: You might just need to remove APT's files in "/var/lib/apt/lists/" and redo "apt-get update" to fetch them again... after ensuring that no HTTP proxy is interfering [17:23] Are there free software drivers for Intel HD 4400 GPU? [17:23] nucter;~ yep from intel [17:23] TJ- Thanks. I commented out extras for the moment which it seems is giving primary offense and apt-get update completes successful. Will re-test on another network later for full resolution. [17:23] I'm having a Problem with my Keyboard: When I press the right arrow, it types ,*- How can I fix this? Also the Numpad goes crazy [17:24] MonkeyDust: My computer is dual-boot; I'm in my windows install right now. I'll have to reboot, try things out, and come back to IRC. :D [17:24] Nic343: When a user is logged in, the shell sets the variable "USER" to the username, so using "USER" will put the correct username into the shell command as it was given to you, without you needing to change it in any way [17:24] nucter;~ search for intel linux driver [17:24] philinux: where can i get them? [17:24] TJ-: oh ok thanks. [17:25] hello === e is now known as Guest76653 [17:25] Nic343: "$USER" simply replaces "$USER" with the value of the "USER" variable; in my case it'd result in "/home/tj/.Xauthority" [17:25] nucter, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ === hemc_ is now known as hemc [17:26] TJ-: Okay.

[17:33] not many willing to help guess my quests are too noobish [17:33] nucter why did you come to the ubuntu channel if you're running something else?

[17:34] desperate_joe: either it says or it doesn't [17:35] it says what? don't understand the question right now [17:35] MonkeyDust coz ubuntu shares the most with deb? n im new to this stuff sorry if it offended you [17:35] How to look for files in a specific directory which contain a specific word, please? [17:35] nucter;~ gdebi willl check dependancies [17:36] TJ-, MonkeyDust: Okay! The login loop issue has been resolved. I can log in to my.... desktop background. When I do, I get the following message: "System Program Problem Detected" and asks if I should report it. Then just my mouse cursor and background.

[17:39] TJ-, MonkeyDust: I should mention I tried googling the problem and following instructions for something called Unity-Tweak-Tool but that did not work. [17:40] More generally: if I am having a problem post-upgrade where, after login, I only have my desktop background, what should I do? Are any of the suggestions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/449845/problems-after-upgrading-to-14-04-only-background-and-pointer-after-login liable to make things worse?

This points to it being a system problme rather than a problem with your user settings/customization. [18:15] mystogan: the video drivers? tried that, yeah. [18:16] mystogan: Why would graphics drivers affect some components of the desktop but not others? [18:16] philinux, i dunno, i get no lintian errors [18:16] jhutchins: It seems like the upgrade broke video card support? I really don't know.

I'm not 100% clear on teh difference between compiz and unity... sorry for being such a filthy casual. :\ [18:19] ObrienDave;~ ah maybe cos its already installed maybe? [18:19] oh stat is nice [18:19] i did a reinstall [18:20] i am sorry dude.....i tried my best [18:20] notore: if you mv within the same filesystem, only atime will be updated [18:20] Nic343: compiz is a window manager, unity is a frontend to gnome that utilizes compiz [18:20] notore: find /path/to/dir -mtime + -exec rm -rf {} \; [18:20] philinux, i did a reinstall, yes that could be [18:20] notore: that should find all delete all files modified after , but test it out first before using it [18:20] notore: might want to run that without the -exec first [18:20] need help for nic343,somebody attend [18:20] heh [18:20] replace rm -rf {} with echo {} [18:20] geirha: i just moved file to the parent directory and only ctime was changed and i suppose its same filesystem [18:21] Expunge: thanks. I realize my problem is vague, which is compounded by my ignorance of the guts of the OS. [18:21] Nic343: no worries [18:21] notore: oops, sorry, yes, I meant ctime [18:21] I'll try this out? http://itsfoss.com/fix-unity-freezes-after-login-ubuntu-14-04/ [18:22] notore: if it's between two filesystems, mv will do the equivalent of cp and rm instead [18:22] Otherwise I just need to backup some stuff from the filesystem and reinstall from scratch I guess. [18:22] eeee: i want to delete all files starting the time since they were moved to archive folder so i should use ctime [18:22] Windows doesn't "see" my Ubuntu documents though---anyway around that? === Rosa is now known as Jarboe [18:23] nic343,i dont think that will work.....but give it a try [18:23] nic343 ,backup through ubuntu terminal [18:23] Nic343, there is a "hack" to read ext file systems under Windows. i don't know anything more about it === toejam100 is now known as dmblue [18:24] mystogan: the closest I got was with sudo startx that gave me my desktop icons and filesystem access but no sidepanel. I will try and move my files using that method. Is there a good link with instructions for backing up via terminal? [18:25] Nic343: for view Linux filesystem in Win try use Paragon ExtFS (free) [18:25] Nic343: try to reinstall lightdm, sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm [18:25] Nic343, have you tried installing another DE, uninstalling unity and reinstalling? [18:25] obriendave,it didnt work [18:26] k [18:26] llorephie: thanks, will have a look at that [18:26] eeee: added to the list of things to try!

[18:27] Nic343, The supported way to share between the two OS is a ntfs partition that both can access. [18:27] Desktop Environment [18:27] Desktop Environment === kirkland` is now known as kirkland [18:27] nic343,the last option is try 12.04,eventhough its not, related give a try [18:28] * ObrienDave agrees with Beldar [18:28] dmblue: thanks--so the idea here is install another DE via console and see? === kirkland is now known as Guest82850 [18:28] mystogan: I'd love to revert back to 12.04 at this point :P [18:29] Nic343, the idea is to have a DE gui, purge Unity and reinstall [18:29] *add a new [18:29] yes purge unity again and reinstall [18:30] ObrienDave: Okay so maybe try like apt-get install lubuntu-desktop something like that? === Guest82850 is now known as kirkland` [18:30] sudo apt-get install unity [18:31] Heck if lubuntu works and it's not ugly I will 100% keep it [18:31] Nic343, i would recommend xubuntu-desktop. i'm partial ;P === tcpman is now known as Guest31240 [18:31] * ObrienDave runs Xubuntu ;P [18:32] * llorephie runs Ubuntu Studio :D [18:32] Okay, thanks everyone. I will reboot the PC, and try installing a new DE to see what happens. [18:32] Will login to report back if it doesn't work, or if it does work, just to say thanks :D [18:32] nic343,all the best [18:32] we'll be here, good luck [18:33] did ubuntu get released to mobiles??

[18:36] yeah.... [18:36] mystogan: not sure. Ubuntu need much hardware resources [18:36] why do you say that? [18:37] yeah..once hardware resources are available [18:37] mystogan: Only in Linux community. [18:37] yes [18:37] true [18:37] is there terminal for android? [18:37] i don think so, i really dont think there is room for anymore mobile os [18:38] samsung is taking a big chance with their new OS [18:38] dmblue take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, please [18:38] i installed python console in android .....and the console worked [18:38] like terminal [18:38] mystogan: gg. Android is half-linux system [18:39] ohk [18:39] mystogan: So, much features available [18:39] Grr-h.

Without Internet [18:42] mystogan: vim [18:42] okies [18:43] gedit [18:43] vim has a steep learning curve [18:43] notepad++ [18:43] but it's better. [18:43] oops, wrong OS ;P [18:43] notepad++,windows [18:43] im tired of technology [18:44] I hate it [18:44] me too [18:44] i pray God help me to rest from it [18:44] ObrienDave: GitHub atom ;) [18:44] good, then go away [18:44] llorephie, LOL [18:44] Sick sick sick sick sick scik of technology [18:45] I wish world would be 1 day without thecnology [18:45] Gatis: Please remain on topic for this channel [18:45] yes 1 day [18:45] #chitchat [18:45] always can be an Amish [18:45] satan is destroyin mankind trough internet..

[18:49] so they are split from the parent interface counters? [18:49] nullsign: yes [18:49] tell me how please :) [18:49] does anyone know why I would get unable to read /etc/init.d/teamspeak when doing update-rc.d teamspeak defaults ? teamspeak is a script I put in root folder [18:49] hello....my wallpaper keeps changing when i start my laptop ....ubuntu 14.04?why is that? [18:51] mystogan: maybe you installed a background randomizer or something? [18:51] nullsign what version are you running [18:51] blenda,how do i know that? [18:51] ah crap. im running centos on this box [18:51] thought it was ubuntu [18:51] mystogan: I found an old bug report that if your wallpapers are on a different drive this can happen [18:51] maybe the method is similar tho? [18:51] heh. [18:51] mystogan: same here [18:51] sorry not sure about centos [18:52] how do you do it in ubuntu? [18:52] genii,its in ubuntu pictures [18:52] you can use ipac-ng [18:52] anyone want to field a vague and potentially frustrating question? [18:52] mystogan: Hm, probably not that then. [18:52] carbonkey: shoot [18:53] dmblue: so there is no native way to make virtual interfaces have traffic counters/ [18:53] it requires thirdparty s/w? [18:53] well, my grandfather's computer is running ubuntu 12.04 [18:53] awesome [18:53] and, remotely, i am trying to figure out what problem he's having and find a solution [18:53] nullsign: that is the way i have done it in the past [18:53] and one more thing..whenever my laptop starts i get an error report......EVERYTIME [18:53] why? [18:53] carbonkey, state it all in one post without the extra info in detail. [18:54] sure, sorry [18:54] mystogan: pressing details could reveal the mystery? [18:54] carbonkey, Cool gets lost otherwise. [18:54] eeee, i will check [18:55] he failed a upgrade installation from 12.04 to 14, and of course he closed the error prompt, but i did get him to send some screenshots. His desktop icons have yellow checkers across them (his hotbar icons rather) and after a restart they went solid light blue === BlueShark_ is now known as BlueShark [18:56] Got this error when trying to partition/wipe my usb "http://pastebin.com/cG25BKwR" [18:56] other than that the system functionality seems to be unnafected except for an issue with skype audio [18:56] Trying to wipe my usb drive, turn it into fat32. [18:56] carbonkey: my guess is an issue with graphics driver that is affecting the DE (Desktop Environment) [18:57] carbonkey, Run a sudo apt-get -f install to make sure the upgrade basically finished and run a rest on the unity/compiz and load any graphic drivers needed. [18:57] carbonkey, ok, we'll try to fix one thing at a time [18:57] reset* carbonkey [18:57] yes DE problem.... [18:57] mystogan: apport, the error checking program, can be disabled safely btw, by editing /etc/default/apport and setting it to 1, i think [18:57] does anybody know of a way to make terminal windows snap with each other [18:58] snap?? [18:58] dmblue: tile? [18:58] i'm sorry for my unfamiliarity with the linux/unix environment but, is that something I can easily do remotely? I am very doubtful that I could get him to run that over the phone [18:59] carbonkey, get him to run xchat and join us here [19:00] eeee, set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it [19:00] # you can temporarily override this with [19:00] # sudo service apport start force_start=1 [19:00] enabled=1 [19:00] eeee,thats how it is,.. [19:00] Hi, I want to migrate from 2 hdd install (/ and encrypted /home) to one ssd install with two partitions. If I dd partitions to new ssd, will encrypted /home partition still work? [19:00] ok, set to 0, [19:01] ok [19:01] i guess you can always use CTRL+windowskey +arrow keys [19:01] I could hardly get the screenshots out of him, i'm almost 100% certain that he would not be able to do anything from his end. He is over 90 now and my uncle got him this linux box. I'm in a pinch here trying to fix it without getting my grandpa all worked up [19:01] can you ssh into the machine? [19:03] can I? Now is the time to state that I am not very solid on any of the things mentioned so far. I do know what ssh is but I have only done it a few times to log in to a school computer and not in a long while. :( [19:03] How to add a Skype indicator, please? [19:03] carbonkey, Someone should go there with a 14.04 disc at the least and a backup media and fix it. You're using about the worst way of fixing it for his satifaction. [19:04] carbonkey, how far away is he? [19:04] How to add a Skype indicator, please? [19:04] !patience | xar [19:04] xar: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:04] xar, Should be one when on in a panel, what desktop and release are you running. [19:04] ubottu, i did [19:04] I know :( I'm stepping on eggshells because i'm pretty sure he doesn't want any of our relatives that actually live nearby him to know that he's having trouble with his machine. If getting them to help is the only real solution then I'll just pursue asking them about it. [19:05] he's in florida, i'm in massachusetts [19:05] secure shell-ssh [19:05] Beldar, Unity 14.04 LTS [19:05] Beldar, Unity - Ubuntu14.04 LTS [19:05] help... [19:05] Trying to wipe my usb drive, turn it into fat32. [19:05] Got this error when trying to partition/wipe my usb "http://pastebin.com/cG25BKwR" [19:06] it's okay if you tell me that i'm wasting my time asking here because of my situation. I pretty much expected that answer, I just held out hope. [19:06] xar, So you want a icon to launch it or see it in the top panel when on? [19:06] Beldar, yup [19:06] xar, tHAT WAS TWO QUESTIONS. [19:06] carbonkey, no, you're cool. i don't know about ssh [19:06] oops sorry for the caps [19:07] ssh for secure data communiation [19:07] Beldar, I want to display an icon on the top bar (the indicator not a shortcut) [19:07] its a cryptographic n/w [19:07] xar, when on it should show there does it? [19:08] so should i probably give up on a remote fix and just get my relatives involved? [19:08] Beldar, I get nothing on the top bar related to skype [19:08] heya [19:08] Hello.. How is nvidia optimus support on 14.04 ... should i install the proprietary drivers? If so which version? Should i install Bumblebee or Optirun? [19:08] somewhere anyway xar, I don't use unity. [19:08] how do I search for a certain part of hardware? (eg gpus only or soundcards only) [19:09] (i mean on my own pc of course) [19:09] How to add a Skype indicator, please? [19:09] carbonkey, if i knew more about ssh, i would try to help you. Anyone? [19:09] xar, Communication is about the subtle use of words and understanding, have you noticed I 'm using a when off or on for skype? [19:09] ririshi,external hardware in settings [19:09] thats a tough one to answer.. if he is connected to a router or, his ssh port may not be open [19:10] mystogan, doesn't exist? [19:10] Beldar, nope [19:10] ,ririshi,what doesnt exist?the hardware? [19:11] What should I check if I can't change settings after upgrading? to 14.04, I've checked permission in my home directory, I seem to own everything [19:11] mystogan, well.. system settings > external hardware [19:12] xar, Do you see and indicator anywhere for skype when you have it on, not talking just running? [19:12] yes,some hardware dont get detected.... [19:12] mystogan, I mean the tab external hardware doesn't exist in system settings [19:12] Beldar, I don't see any indicator when I run Skype [19:13] xar, Not even in the left side panel? [19:13] Beldar, what does the -f flag do in the apt-get? [19:13] Beldar, in the left side yes. But not on the top bar [19:14] carbonkey, That is a update any stopped upgrade basically, you mentioned an error we have not seen in the upgrade to 14.04. [19:14] carbonkey, forces interrupded installs to finish [19:14] no idea,ririshi [19:14] *interrupted [19:14] Is there a better channel to ask for help about "settings won't stay set"? [19:15] iiie, settings for what? [19:15] xar, various answers addressing this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/286233/how-to-add-a-skype-indicator [19:16] ObrienDave, that line "sudo apt-get -f install" would work as is in the terminal to force the upgrade installation to complete? Does it need to be run from a specific directory? [19:16] Beldar, i've tried that but it wouldn't work [19:16] carbonkey, will work from terminal [19:16] System settings, the one I was after was just the desktop wallpaper / background and the screen saver timer, but none of the others in the gnome(unity)-control-center save either. [19:16] xar, That link? [19:17] To the extent that I navigate to another screen in there and back, and the settings back to default. [19:17] ObrienDave, exactly as I wrote it? all I would have to do is, somehow, ssh into his system and run it from anywhere? [19:17] carbonkey, not directory specific [19:17] yes [19:17] anywhere in terminal [19:17] Beldar, yes [19:17] so....anyone know anything about ssh? [19:18] xar, What ubuntu release are you using? [19:18] mystogan, please add names to the person you're addressing. gets very confusing [19:18] sorry [19:18] Beldar, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [19:19] mystogan, using Tab-complete is useful for that :)) === huseynkhan is now known as yo_oshio [19:19] xar, Have you modified the desktop with themes, compiz or the unity tweak tool? [19:19] obriendave,what how? [19:20] what would I need to make happen to ssh into my grandfather's computer in Florida from up here in Massachusetts? anyone have experience with using ssh like that? [19:20] ObrienDave: settings in gnome/unity-control-center [19:20] Beldar, I have just set the Theme to Radiance. Nothing else [19:21] mystogan, type the first 3 or 4 letters of the name, hit Tab key ;) [19:21] carbonkey: They would have to have some ssh server running, and forward port 22 to it on their router or modem. Then let you know the IP [19:21] ObrienDave, [19:21] yes thanks [19:21] genii: ok, so not happening :/ [19:21] mystogan, yup, just like that [19:22] ObrienDave, it works like terminal :) [19:22] Odd problem I've had for awhile. There is some file or something inside my Documents folder that causes it to Crash nautilus when ever I open that folder... Nothing looks like a big file or anything that I can tell [19:22] mystogan, yup :) [19:22] xar, I don't use unity, however it seems the indicator when skype is running seems to be in the top panel, I would run a reset on the desktop and reboot. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/reset-unity-and-compiz-settings-in-ubuntu-14-04/ If that does not work I would see if it shows in the guest account just as a test. === ajalkane_ is now known as ajalkane [19:23] Beldar, ok thank you [19:23] Beldar, thank you very much [19:23] carbonkey: can't you just use TeamViewer with him? [19:23] xar, A reset helps many issue and is a good base to be sure you are running correctly. [19:24] carbonkey: (if he has a working install) [19:25] abc_harold: TeamViewer? If, like you said, he needs a wiorking install then I don't think that is feasible. He just wont be able to navigate his way through the install process. All he does is start his web browser and email program on a regular basis. :/ [19:26] carbonkey: I meant working install of Ubuntu, but you could probably talk him through installing TeamViewer over the phone [19:26] any programming channel??? [19:27] mystogan, which language? [19:27] abc_harold: let me take a look at the info for TeamViewer. I assume i can just google it [19:27] ObrienDave, python or C.. [19:27] carbonkey: yeah, it will be the top result [19:28] mystogan, ##python or ##c++, iirc [19:28] ObrienDave, C preferred.... [19:28] carbonkey: http://www.teamviewer.com/hi/download/linux.aspx [19:28] ObrienDave, ##c++ for C? [19:29] Hi again [19:29] mystogan, what IRC client are you using? [19:29] ObrienDave, xchat [19:29] Will disabling rx checksumming offload affect my download speeds? [19:29] abc_harold: so it doesn't require an install on the client side? How does it work? (if you have a bit of experience with that :D) [19:30] mystogan, ok, under server there is a channel search [19:30] mystogan, find the channel there [19:30] ok [19:31] carbonkey: it's just a .deb package that the Ubuntu Software Centre should offer to install when opened. [19:32] carbonkey: you'd need to install it too to connect to him, so if you're on Ubuntu you will get the same process [19:32] abc_harold: sorry to bother but, how would a typical use of it play out then? I install it in the software center and then what? [19:33] carbonkey, actually TeamViewer for windows will communicate with the Linux version, no problem [19:33] ObrienDave: oh, neat, i'm just a little confused on what he would have to do on his end [19:33] carbonkey: you'd install the .deb with help from software centre, then open it from the launcher, he'll get an ID that he tells you [19:34] carbonkey, once running, he'll be able to copy and paste commands to terminal [19:34] does ubuntu have anything like this software [19:34] http://ditchnet.org/httpclient/ [19:35] carbonkey: then you'd type it in along with the PIN he gets given [19:35] abc_harold: ObrienDave the id would display on startup if I can get him to install it from the software center? I ask because I had tremendous difficulty just getting him to navigate the file system over the phone. Luckily screenshot is bound to the print screen button on the keyboard [19:36] carbonkey: you just start it and it gives an ID and PIN to him straight away [19:36] Hi! I have a problem with a sound from headphone...could somebody be kind to help [19:37] abc_harold: hmm, then that is something I would seriously consider. Is it full remote control or just screen sharing? (sorry if this is stuff i could get from the TeamViewer faq :O) [19:38] carbonkey, iirc, it's just a one-to-one chat [19:38] carbonkey: its full remote control [19:38] Hi! I have a problem with a sound from headphone...could somebody be kind to help [19:39] abc_harold: so, in theory if i could get teamviewer connected i could personally run the force update command in terminal? *crosses fingers* [19:39] * ObrienDave was thinking of TeamSpeak, my apologies [19:39] carbonkey: yes, you'd have full control of his machine, obviously when you use sudo for the force update you'll need his password [19:39] !ask | rooff, not without knowing the issue [19:39] rooff, not without knowing the issue: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === alexander is now known as Guest72876 === Guest72876 is now known as Alex_ander [19:41] abc_harold: which i have, excellent! thanks so much. I'll do some research on my own into teamviewer but that sounds like the perfect solution (if I can get him to install it) thanks again and have a good day/night/morning [19:42] ObrienDave: thanks for your help as well [19:42] beldar left but thank him too :P bye all [19:42] carbonkey, not a problem, hope the best for your grandpa [19:42] carbonkey: no prob, hope it helps [19:43] I get a "Requires installation of untrusted packages" error every time I try to update Ubuntu 12.04 any help?

[19:51] whats the easiest way to mount a hard drive at startup in 14.04? [19:52] interesting question, same pb here, have to "open" my windows partition before being able to access its files [19:53] I converted it from ntfs to ext4 a couple months ago [19:53] electricprism: Blenda add it to /etc/fstab [19:53] abc_harold: Bang fixed it steam launcher was the problem. [19:53] I realized that windows was playing dirty with my linux drive and causing anomylous problems, it was weird [19:53] rooff, ok, sorry, i did not see your question [19:54] electricprism, encrypt your linux drives and don't mount them in windows [19:54] like Windows 7 would try to initialize my ext4 drive and then rebooting to linux would run fsck on start [19:54] lonewulf85: cool, I had the same prob the other day and the culprit was my Intel driver source [19:54] abc_harold: funny [19:54] unkn-error: good idea, if I ever get windows again, 14.04 is great [19:54] and thanks.

Unfortunately installing different DEs did not work. === __Trullo is now known as _Trullo [19:55] electricprism, use EXT3 if you wish to mount them in windows, as EXT3 is more compatibile, mounting EXT4 in windows is not supported well [19:56] During the install process I did see scroll by a bunch of messages about DBUS / without X11 $DISPLAY etc. that I did not transcribe or log, alas. [19:56] But I think I am going to simply back up the files, format, and reinstall from scratch. Cheers.

I have an account I set up using useradd username -p password -d /home/dir -s /bin/false . Then, I did passwd username. Now, all of a sudden the account stops working and my log says incorrect password well if I do passwd again it starts working again. Has anyone ran across this? [20:02] anyone? [20:05] I just compiled a package from source and installed it, yet I keep getting a message saying the package hasn't been installed and that I need to contact my administrator [20:05] even though I added the binary to my path [20:05] thesnark, which package?

[20:19] eeee: What would I be looking for out of the ordinary? /etc/passwd has all my users and they're valid and /etc/shadow has a password for my user. It;s as if the password just changes or stops working and soon as I do passwd it fixes the problem I have restart my proftpd service [20:19] scoutmastershake: cat /var/log/auth | grep -C10 "password changed" [20:19] scoutmastershake: sorry, cat /var/log/auth.log | grep -C10 "password changed" [20:22] eeee: Just where I changed it, I am seeing this tough before I changed it. proftpd: pam_unix(proftpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/ftpd12372 ruser=9906 rhost=10.10.14.52 user=9906 [20:22] Afternoon/Evening everyone [20:23] Can someone tell me how to fix the digital clock please.

[21:03] are you running unity? [21:03] yes [21:03] maybe you should use a shortcut that isn't already used [21:03] settings > keyboard > shortcuts [21:03] Ben64: why ? [21:03] mnms_: if you dont mind me asking, what will the shortcut do btw? [21:03] Im using shorcut which best fit to my habits [21:04] hello back [21:04] because it won't be easy to change it [21:04] it could already be set... like super_s or something as accessible [21:04] eeee: It will execute git status command [21:04] MonkeyDust: hello again [21:04] mnms_: ok, well, settings > keyboard ..get's you there [21:04] super + S dont think it is hard to change I think I saw it in keyboard -> shortcutts [21:04] Question about an ubuntu server on DO, when I log in it says "7 packages can up updated, 7 updates are security updates" [21:05] But apt-get upgrade doesn't update them [21:05] How do?

[21:07] then add it to the custom shortcuts [21:07] eeee, doesn't override AFAIK [21:07] > ( + ), type the command, then select it, and press alt+s [21:07] eeee: I want to use this shortcut from application [21:07] OerHeks: it does, i just tried it [21:07] I just want to unbind this combination [21:07] to use it in app [21:08] OerHeks: With dconf editor for example ? [21:09] mnms_, yes, install it as it is not standard [21:09] find a replacement first, saves time [21:09] incase i abort the installation , i will remove /app directory and re-install it with ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs [21:10] OerHeks: There is Control Alt s [21:10] Not alt s [21:11] mnms_: just use the custom shortcuts [21:11] how can I set tty 1 so it will auto login and run irssi? [21:11] eeee: To unbind this shortcut ? [21:12] mnms_: to set it to whatever you want! [21:12] or ANY TTY for that matter [21:12] I dont want to set it from OS level. I want to set it in application, Sublime text [21:13] Alright I got a question. I have someone wanting to to a SFTP connection in my machine (chrooted with a rbash shell to prevent anything but SFTP). The guy keeps insisting that I need to send him a public key. Is it just me or does that make absolutly no sense? [21:13] mnms_: you're not making sense [21:14] zzxc: right, he shouldn't need the public key, I would think you would need his, if you were going for not using passwords [21:14] mnms_: you want it to do something, only in a specific application you mean? [21:14] www.allismen.blogspot.se [21:15] SchrodingersScat: Yeah, were specifically doing a key exchange to avoid passwords. [21:15] why would you want to unbind it in the OS then ? [21:15] eeee: I want to use this shortcut in my editor, but I cannot because it is intercepted by system [21:15] _ander === alexander is now known as Alex_ander [21:16] zzxc: at the same time, it's the public key, so not sure if there's harm in giving it to him, at the same time I'm not sure why/what he would do with it. [21:16] when I try to run this .sh: http://pastie.org/9508166 I recieve this: http://pastie.org/9508188 it was working yesterday just fine, I didn't change a thing in it and now its not working. Can some one help me? [21:16] eeee: I dont use this shortcut it is useless for me, so I want to bind it in my editor [21:17] Yeah true. still just doesn't make any damn sense to me. [21:17] zzxc: hmm, unless he can confirm he's connecting to you with it, like the warning it gives to add a machine the first time. [21:17] zzxc: but not sure on that one. [21:18] Yeah I was thinking about sending him the sshd's public key, but I still need to have his public key as well. [21:19] SchrodingersScat: Its not like he can connect ot me without giving a public key to but in the authorized keys [21:19] yup [21:20] zzxc: should maybe explain it as you understand it, then ask him what he's trying to do. [21:21] SchrodingersScat: Might be a good idea. I'm really wanting to bite he head off right now simplly because he is being kind of irrate about it. [21:21] SchrodingersScat: zzxc: im curious guys, what's the situation [21:21] SFTP connection person is asking for public key from the server [21:21] but they shouldn't need it as discussed above [21:23] perhaps as mentioned they want to verify the fingerprint using the public key [21:23] that and reverse connection/tunnel is the only thing I can think of, but if he's locked to sftp i'm not sure if that's even an option. [21:24] so who is the SFTP problem guy? [21:25] someone zzxc is dealing with [21:25] makes sense to verify the fingerprint really but just can't think of any other reason, but giving out the public key shouldn't be a problem really hence being public [21:26] mkanyicy: Sorry Looked away for a second and didn't hear any mentions. [21:27] mkanyicy: He's a vendor who is trying to basically drop of xml to our server. [21:28] mkanyicy: Is the main contact of a third party software vendor who is trying to interface with out software. I can't really say a whole lot more than that through. [21:29] zzxc: i understand, so where is the problem then? [21:30] mkanyicy: I think it's deciding if he can give the public key, if he gains any risk, which is tied to the 'why' other guy needs it [21:31] mkanyicy: He develops the software that some of our volume costomers use to basically format a bunch a zip of xml files via sftp, we're using a chrooted director with rssh. His instisting that we need to send him the public key. [21:31] what cannel would be good to access a usb hard drive with an encryption.. [21:32] I need to get some information off my backup and can't find anything that will help [21:32] mkanyicy: I'm a little worried he's configured it for a ftps connection and is wanting our public key from our cert so he can sign and go. === mike is now known as Guest26000 [21:34] I'm having issues with my framerate.

Specifically, Chrome is taking 2-3 seconds between each tab switch. How can I diagnose and fix this issue? [21:42] ahh, nvm, I see Ubuntu 14.04 does not have systemd https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd#Warning.21_Experimental_code [21:42] pentel: It do put a different slant on things . [21:42] jhtchins, a window poped up about agreeing to windows stuff, lol [21:42] One question : I have just re-instaled my system in a 256GB SSD drive at /dev/sda1. As usual my current home folder is /home/kike . I have a backup unit (2TB) at /dev/sdb1 containing my old /home folder. ¿can i mount somehow one specific folder at /dev/sdb1 as my home folder? so i can keep my download and stuff in the NOT SSD drive. or is there any workarroud about something like that? [21:42] but there is one more thing. I've installed 12.4.1 and i was unable to install drivvers [21:43] i encounter problem with propertiary drivers to install them [21:43] pentel: Are you sure exact release 12.04.1 not any other .2/3/4/5/ ? [21:43] yes 100% sure [21:44] iso is ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386 [21:44] pentel: OK, have you enabled HWE in 12.04.1 .. as that salso breaks the xserver compatibility . [21:45] /salso/also* [21:45] sorry cant remember if HWA was on ;/ [21:46] but i haven;t done any think in this direction so it may be possible it was no on [21:46] pentel: why install the 12.04.1 iso and not the actual .5? [21:47] because my radeon mobility 4xxx is not supported any more [21:47] it is, its just that amd dropped the fglrx support. but the free driver should work [21:47] pentel: Terminal command -> X -version <- see that the version is less than v1.13 . [21:48] at least there were several users with amd 4000er last days which worked with 14.04 and free driver [21:48] G'day folks!

I have my home dir all backed up, but I want the system backed up, too... [21:50] bangbang: We reserve the right to disagree on that. [21:50] Red_X, you might need a reboot [21:50] I know I could do this with dd, but have never tried it, and wasn't sure how easy a restore would be [21:50] bangbang: What are you trying to accomplish by running xinput? [21:50] jhutchins: I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina... lol [21:50] jhutchins: i'm trying to rotate my touch drivers remotely for a device. [21:51] Any suggestions or different recomendations? [21:51] ObrienDave: You never need to reboot linux for a package install unless it's the kernel. [21:51] pentel: Ya mihgt want to try 14.04, with the open source driver. A lot of improvemnets have been made in the opens source drivers . [21:51] right [21:51] k1l: on 14.04? [21:51] it works when i'm on the machine directly, but in order for me to remotely troubleshoot without using remote desktop, I'd liek to handle everything through SSH. [21:51] what program can i use to decrypt a ntfs drive.... [21:51] pentel: there is a backports kernel and x-stack from 14.04 for 12.04 [21:51] yeah, i think i will need to reboot. THanks for all the help guys [21:51] bangbang: DISPLAY=:0 xinput [21:51] bangbang: Do you have x forwarding working? [21:52] Ben64: let me try that [21:52] Sigh. rebooting is a microsoft solution. [21:52] lol [21:52] jhutchins: No, I'm not familiar with x forwarding. Is that what you'd recommend I search for when looking for documentation? "x forwarding" ? [21:52] Bashing-om: open source drivers are installed in default [21:52] xserve forwarding? [21:52] lol [21:52] bangbang: You're running osx on the mac, right? [21:52] am i correct? [21:53] i do think rebooting is a winblows answer, but sometimes the programs suck =p [21:53] jhutchins: yes [21:53] pentel: but free drivers depend on the kernel. and there is a lot of progress [21:53] i undarstand [21:53] kernell was up to date [21:53] hi, I'm a bit new to this and I just had a question. If I download the 14.04 mini ISO and update+upgrade it later on, would I then have the most up-to-date 14.04.1 release? [21:53] pentel: which kernel it was? [21:53] bangbang: I think you need to run an xserver for it to work. Basically your local display becomes the output of the GUI commands. [21:53] frezix, yes [21:54] ah ok [21:54] Yes, run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [21:54] frezix: yes! [21:54] : Yes, run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [21:54] frezix: its like the servicepack on windows. if you do the updates you are fine [21:54] jhutchins: I'm curious... i'm going to try and SSH to the remote box from my Ubuntu VM [21:54] pentel: Generally so IF "3rd party software install" is not checked in that initial install stage. ( not real sure what would result in the case of non-support driver if 3rd party were enabled) . [21:54] even after update the stripes on the screen appears here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYIx7TCzEB8 [21:54] hi der_amma [21:54] pentel: 12.04.1 got kernel 3.2, 14.04 got kernel 3.13. [21:55] k1l 3.13 on 14.04 [21:55] got it, thanks ObrienDave piyush1911 felixruina and k1l :) [21:55] i want to cline drive, tools like clonezilla run at boot time, is there any reason why wouldn't i simply use 'dd', while doing other stuff insead of booting from clonezilla image? [21:55] welcome [21:55] does 14.04.1 have different repo's than 14.04? [21:55] hey Multbrelch [21:55] (is this the reason behind dist-upgrade?) === AlphaBeta is now known as PsiOmega [21:56] the stripes intesifies when desktop is only on external hdmi screen [21:56] CodeGosu, because "doing other stuff" can render your drive image useless [21:56] bangbang: https://it.engineering.illinois.edu/user-guides/engineering-workstation-services/x-forwarding-mac [21:56] *connected througth hdmi [21:56] on 1920xxxx resolution [21:56] frezix, Security and kernel upgrades is all [21:56] jhutchins: i'll be damned - let me poke around that for a minute. :D [21:56] frezix: no, apt-get dist-upgrade is needed to install packages which actually need a new install of another package. so technically its not a update. like a new kernel package [21:57] frezix, Same repo. [21:57] bangbang: aren't you trying to run xinput as if you were on the computer locally [21:57] Ben64: that is correct. [21:57] pentel: to me it looks like its the issue of the video card as is. does it work on windows? i mean amd dropped support for that old cards iirc [21:57] bangbang: then you don't want x forwarding [21:57] bangbang: You might need to use ssh -X if it's not enabled in the config files. [21:58] I've tried the ssh -X [21:58] ah ok but dist-upgrade seems to just remove some packages in a smart way according to this post I found - http://askubuntu.com/questions/81585/what-is-dist-upgrade-and-why-does-it-upgrade-more-than-upgrade [21:58] no luck [21:58] k1l works ok on windows and ubuntu 13 and lower [21:58] * jhutchins is not familiar with xinput [21:58] also works good withoud external screen [21:58] hello.. [21:58] bangbang: have you tried my suggestion [21:58] jhutchins: it's okay... neither was I until recently [21:58] frezix, trust us, use dist-upgrade [21:58] i got connected eizo 21" screen througth hdmi [21:58] Ben64: the DISPLAY:=0; thing? [21:58] bangbang: yep [21:58] to laptop [21:59] Ben64: not quite sure what to do with that [21:59] pentel: dont compare different setups. i am only talking about that hdmi issues [21:59] bangbang: you type it [21:59] lol [21:59] ObrienDave: will do, should I always use it instead of just upgrade? [21:59] it does nothing [21:59] frezix, Any update/upgrade can remove some and others, smarter I doubt is a differential. What is you end issue on this, and use nicks here. [21:59] bangbang: it does not do nothing, what are you typing exactly [21:59] frezix, i always use dist-upgrade [21:59] your* [21:59] which chmod should I gave to a user, so he can modify his files permissions? [21:59] Ben64: DISPLAY=:0 xinput [22:00] hdmi issues are only on ubuntu 14.04 [22:00] oh wait [22:00] i lied [22:00] I totally lied. [22:00] bangbang: i know [22:00] oh no, the gods weep ;P [22:00] omg [22:00] Ben64: ty sir [22:00] thats why i said that like 5 mins ago :| [22:00] Beldar: not really an issue, just wondering why to use dist-upgrade vs. just upgrade. [22:01] Long day :\ [22:01] 9 mins ago [22:01] k1l i think it's drivers issues [22:02] frezix, Mainly to get kernels. When someone uses the word intelligent in a software reference that is a bit of a red flag, it is only as intelligent as the code writer or user. [22:02] frezix, and usually not very intelligent [22:02] anyone know how to go about enabling japanese font for styles in fluxbox? [22:02] Beldar: I suppose my main concern is whether dist-upgrade is always safer than plain upgrade. So assuming the 'intelligent' aspect of dist-upgrade, would you still say it's a safer option than dist-upgrade? [22:03] I'm having issues with my framerate. Specifically, Chrome is taking 2-3 seconds between each tab switch. How can I diagnose and fix this issue? [22:03] ObrienDave: ^ [22:03] ObrienDave, Sorta like one word answers here like, "what" ;) [22:04] frezix, i use, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:04] ALWAYS [22:04] Ben64: Thanks for stepping in. [22:04] frezix, Either an upgrade or dist-upgrade give you a yes or no that is the key issue to avoid partial upgrades, I use dist everytime. [22:04] banister: x forwarding is still pretty cool. [22:04] jhutchins: no prob [22:05] frezix, caps lock intended ;P [22:05] jhutchins: indeed it is, just it runs it as if it were on your computer, not the one it is forwarding from [22:05] frezix, Always look at what is to be installed what is to be upgraded and or if anything is held in a apt-get run, that is the real key. [22:05] the upgrade is safer then just update. update just does partial file replacement. upgrade does fresh install of newer version of program. [22:06] necro606, NOT quite right [22:06] necro606, Update and upgrade are not the same. [22:06] \4 [22:06] update updates the repo cache IIRC === boole_ is now known as boole [22:07] frezix, correct [22:07] 'update' updates the apt cache, 'upgrade' upgrades packages, and 'dist-upgrade' upgrades packages, but can remove or add brand new packages [22:07] then one should do upgrade to upgrade according to the newly updated repo cache [22:07] frezix, i use, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:07] ALWAYS [22:07] frezix, caps lock intended ;P [22:07] without doing dist-upgrade, you won't get new kernels [22:08] ObrienDave: haha nice :p [22:08] and it always worked without any glitches? [22:08] yes [22:08] cool, I'll make an alias of that then [22:09] hello guys, i need help getting sound work on my eee pc === gnu is now known as Guest55564 [22:09] or a function, but I'm not yet sure what the differences between those 2 are [22:09] hello guys, i need help getting sound work on my eee pc [22:09] frezix: man apt-get [22:09] frezix, NOte the importance of looking at the upgrade before just hitting Y=yes, an partial upgrade can brick you. [22:10] frezix: Like so: update, updates packages, does not install new stuff, whereas dist-upgrade will install new stuff as in a new kernel. [22:10] frezix, the && is a logical "trap" that does not let the remaining commands execute if the previous command errors out [22:10] hello guys, i need help getting sound work on my eee pc. I have a fresh install of lubuntu [22:10] Ben64: yeah I've been reading that for some time now [22:11] Beldar: I'm not sure I have the expertise to determine whether my new updates will brick my machine :( [22:13] Bashing-on the xorg version is 1.15.1 [22:14] on 14.,04 === FreezingCold is now known as NegativeForty [22:15] frezix, The apt-get commands and what you see after run and get a yes or no option to install are a clue on this. lookm closely at them, if you see any held packages check on these first before continuing. The basic reason is the developer base is large with ay time groups not connected to a specific app or dependencies are working together although not on the same team. So at time an upgrade will be [22:15] missing a dependency, this will show as a held package E.G partial upgrade. This is easy to understand I think you can do it. ;) [22:15] in spite of my misspelling [22:16] Bashing-om the xorg version is 1.15.1 [22:17] frezix, Really on any OS, you want to have backed up to the point that any failure type is addressable, including bricking the whole unit. [22:18] guys, im using a eee pc and i dont even found a sound card on lspci. can someone help? [22:18] Beldar: yeah I'm working on bootstrapping a backup solution. Not quite there yet though unfortunately. [22:18] !sound | Guest55564 [22:18] Guest55564: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[22:19] frezix, There are easier ways, always be prepared. ;) [22:19] Beldar: so in essence I should be wary of upgrades if there's a held package and I should wait accordingly until it's not held back? [22:19] yeah true === Blacklite_ is now known as Blacklite [22:19] pentel: That means with the m4520 card you are restricted to open source driver. [22:19] a [22:19] a [22:19] a [22:19] a [22:19] a [22:19] a [22:19] kirmair 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 [22:20] frezix, Basically yes, I rarely have a held upgrade package, most of the time it is ajust a dependency missing that shows up within a day or so. [22:21] cool, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks :) [22:23] frezix, However I'm running pretty much just the ubuntu repos. If you start adding 3rd party repos and other packages which may be different versions than stock this can cause issues in regular updates/upgrades and a release upgrade. === spark_ is now known as GothSpark [22:23] \quit [22:24] frezix, My only concern for you was more info to work with, rather than a brick wall of you don't understand, when you obviously can. ;) [22:24] hello [22:26] i have Linux Lite 2.0 and downloaded a bunch of wallpapers anyone know how to get them to work as wallpapers?

Thanks for giving me a heads up :) [22:27] ObrienDave: Well, i mean the Unity/GNOME equiped Ubuntu from ubuntu.com [22:27] sorry but kinda new at this Lite is bassed on Ubunto i think [22:27] thslinuxlite, Register with freenode and try ##linux or see if there is a channel for that OS.

[22:36] I want to confine myself to command line only so that everything I learn is AWS friendly [22:36] it'll show you the subdirectories and files in a tree [22:36] you'll probably have to install it first [22:37] trindaz: 'ls -lAR' will recursively list everything in the directory [22:37] `tree` works great, but `man tree` says there's no manual! how is that possible?

After I use dd it pops up that this volume needs initialized??? I can't get the USB to boot on the target machine. [23:09] fredman, Try #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [23:11] Having some problems with Teamviewer - logging in to a Teamviewer account isn't remembered between restarts, it always asks me to log in again. Any ideas? Running 14.04, also, Teamviewer runs through Wine on all linux distros, if that helps. [23:13] q_a_z_steve, Is there an make a partition active in apple, linux it is a boot flag, windows calls it active. [23:14] I don't think I have ever seen that. [23:15] q_a_z_steve, That link does not explicitly name the file type in it's instructions is one built, I'm not sure what it should be in your context. [23:16] q_a_z_steve, I have seen a more verbose method for loading a usb, rather than a dd in general. [23:16] Filetype as far as... [23:16] an apple type a fat32...etc [23:18] Well that was a thought, but I've tried a few formats for the initial. Obviously it changes once I dd. [23:19] a_p3rson1, use the linux version for ubuntu, else ask in #winehq [23:20] !wine [23:20] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:20] q_a_z_steve: Those instructions are for creating a USB device that will boot *a Mac* not a PC [23:21] OerHeks: The linux version is bundled with (a customized version of) Wine, so there isn't a native linux package per se (only one based on Wine). I'm also in #winehq. [23:21] q_a_z_steve: If you want to boot a regular ISA PC, ommit the "hdiutil" step 3 and go to step 4 === Gnarly_ is now known as Gnarly [23:21] TJ-: I highly doubt it would work either way, since the drive doesn't show up correctly upon completion. [23:21] maybe I'll try /dev/disk rather than rdisk [23:22] q_a_z_steve: how the USB device is seen by Mac might have no bearing on how the image is booted by a PC, provided all the bytes are written to the raw device [23:23] OerHeks: Unless you can think of a different channel I should ask in. Pretty sure TeamViewer doesn't have one. [23:23] I assume so, I'm just expecting not to have an error. I believe I've done this before... I kind of expect a WUBI pop up in Windows... [23:24] At this point it's not worth worrying about - I'll just burn a dvd. [23:24] someone PLEASE shoot wubi ;P [23:24] q_a_z_steve: Wubi isn't used any more [23:24] i think wubi was discontinued a while ago [23:24] use unetbootin [23:24] oh ok. [23:24] it's still in the release ISOs [23:24] not in anything recent [23:24] q_a_z_steve: The image will boot directly at power-on if the USB device is the first boot device for the PC [23:25] ObrienDave: really? I didn't notice it last time I looked :) [23:25] I'm mostly sure I've got the BIOS set for that. I wish I had F8 boot options...
