[00:03] <knob> Hexagonite, I take it it is a laptop?
[00:03] <Hexagonite> knob: yes
[00:03] <knob> all updates ready to go?
[00:04] <maven> Hey everybody
[00:04] <Hexagonite> knob: What do you mean?
[00:04] <knob> Hey maven
[00:05] <knob> Well, do you run Software Updater... anything waiting to be updated?
[00:05] <knob> Or does it say your computer is up to date?
[00:05] <Hexagonite> knob: Nope, none. All updates installed
[00:06] <maven> I am looking for a software that will allow me to view ip cams on my network
[00:06] <knob> Hexagonite, I am no expert... trying to help.  Yet I am kind of out of ideas.
[00:07] <knob> Did you google just that error?
[00:07] <knob> maven, www.ispyconnect.com/
[00:07] <knob> that is one
[00:07] <knob> zoneminder.com is another one
[00:07] <Hexagonite> knob: Yep, I tried doing the acpi_backlight=vendor thing and my FN-keys wouldn't work
[00:07] <sysop2> macen what about zone minder?
[00:07] <sysop2> maven I mean
[00:07] <knob> I think it is a fork of the other
[00:08] <knob> hmm... I am lost Hexagonite ... ask again in 10 minutes.. probably somebody more knowledgable than me will offer their insight!
[00:08] <Hexagonite> okay, thanks anyway!
[00:08] <aukun> when i put in terminal locate -i *.mp4         output   /home/aukun/Descargas/ua2x09.mp4 , but when i go in cd /home/aukun/Descargas/  and then la in this folder the file ua2x09.mp4 don't exist why?
[00:08] <sysop2> plus you can point vlc at ip cameras. I do it with mine.
[00:09] <sysop2> I have a playlist of my cameras and a simple script to press the next button every so often.
[00:09] <knob> aukun, what about   ls -alF
[00:10] <maven> Ok. I've heard of Zoneminder, but I was wondering if there  were any other solutions for Ubuntu.
[00:11] <sysop2> VLC if you dont mind doing a little work.
[00:11] <aukun> no don't view ua2x09.mp4
[00:12] <eeee> aukun: try sudo updatedb , then locate
[00:12] <aukun> knob i put ls -alF and don't find ua2x09.mp4
[00:12] <eeee> i think it might have been removed and the db wasn't updated
[00:12] <knob> type   find / -name 'uz2x09.mp4'
[00:13] <aukun> with find work it but with locate no
[00:13] <eeee> aukun: when you want to use locate, do sudo updatedb first, i think that was the problem
[00:13] <aukun> ok eeee now workit
[00:14] <aukun> why need updatedb with locate?
[00:14] <eeee> aukun: locate uses a saved database of the files, that's why it's faster than find
[00:15] <eeee> so you need to update the list before using it
[00:15] <aukun> ok thanks for explain the explanation
[00:15] <eeee> np
[00:16] <flips> anyone familiar with jackd/audio stuff? I seem to have some latency with M-Audio Audiophile USB, but dunno where/how to

[00:19] <ForeverApprentic> Hello Again. Two things, firstly I updated to 14.04, but my touchpad on my laptop no longer works, secondly I would like to know how to connect to this chat via pidgin. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[00:20] <EternalScholar> Never mind, figured out the pidgin part. My touchpad is still a problem though.
[00:24] <somsip> !find libgtk
[00:27] <keviv> Are there any advantages that vanilla Ubuntu has over UbuntuStudio?
[00:30] <Adam_ActiveState> EternalScholar: use keyboard shortcuts
[00:30] <sajan> wafflejock,
[00:30] <EternalScholar> I am new to ubuntu, so I don't quite know enough to be navigating solely with the keyboard.
[00:31] <EternalScholar> Adam_ActiveState: See my last message.
[00:33] <HikaruBG> hi guys!
[00:34] <HikaruBG> how are you this fine evening (day - if you are on the other side of the globe...)
[00:34] <irreverant> how do i purge gmail app install from ubuntu with termina?
[00:35] <irreverant> sudo apt-get purge gmail?
[00:36] <HikaruBG> irreverant, I would do purge or remove
[00:36] <Kamuela> Is anyone else having problems with chrome/chromium and profiles constantly being corrupted or "inaccessible" when launching the browser?
[00:36] <HikaruBG> and then would do sudo apt-get autoremove
[00:36] <HikaruBG> to get all packages out
[00:37] <irreverant> i tried purge but it doesn't seem to work
[00:37] <irreverant> i think i don't have the right package
[00:37] <irreverant> and i don't find it in the application center
[00:37] <irreverant> as installed
[00:37] <HikaruBG> irreverant, try sudo dpkg -l "gmail*"
[00:38] <irreverant> nothing found
[00:38] <HikaruBG> and see if anything is installed
[00:38] <HikaruBG> so you have no gmail package to remove
[00:38] <xar_> hi, does anyone has already installed photoshop using wine ?
[00:38] <HikaruBG> no wonder that nothing happens when do Purge
[00:38] <irreverant> but i do
[00:38] <HikaruBG> on your launcher?
[00:38] <irreverant> i just launched it from the task bar
[00:39] <HikaruBG> someone else should give expert opinion here, but what I know - programs on the launcher are mere shortcuts
[00:39] <HikaruBG> and if you remove them - they are gone
[00:39] <irreverant> yes launcher
[00:40] <irreverant> the shortcut works and if i search for it in unity i can find and launch it
[00:40] <irreverant> i can't remove it though
[00:40] <HikaruBG> BUT I may be mistaken.... I am pretty new so.... I will appreciate if someone knowledgeable to interfere in this simple challenge here
[00:40] <HikaruBG> NO?
[00:40] <HikaruBG> why not?
[00:40] <HikaruBG> right click
[00:40] <HikaruBG> right click -> Unlock from Launcher
[00:41] <somsip> !find libGLU
[00:41] <irreverant> that just removes it from the launcher, i want to purge it like i would with xchat
[00:41] <keviv> That doesn't remove it
[00:41] <irreverant> sudo apt-get purge xchat
[00:41] <irreverant> works
[00:41] <aukun> how to do in .bashrc make a new line alias locate='sudo updatebd && locate' this line don't workit, how to?
[00:43] <Segfault_> Does anyone know of any good clipboard managers that I can use efficiently in the terminal? I have been using ClipIt because it syncs the clipboard and the X primary selection but in the terminal it is lacking
[00:44] <irreverant> sudo apt-get remove unity-webapps-gmail
[00:44] <irreverant> that gets rid of it
[00:44] <somsip> aukun: perhaps 'updatedb' and not 'updatebd' and source .bashrc again
[00:46] <keviv> Are there any advantages that vanilla Ubuntu has over UbuntuStudio?
[00:49] <Bashing-om> keviv: See: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126664/why-to-choose-low-latency-kernel-over-generic-or-realtime-ones .
[00:49] <rypervenche> Segfault_: I only know of xclip which can manipulate the clipboards.
[00:49] <somsip> !info wine
[00:50] <irreverant> is it smart to run wine?
[00:50] <irreverant> wouldn't it be better to just run an instance of inwodws in virtualbox?
[00:51] <Segfault_> wine (assuming it works) will perform better. A virtual windows instance hogs a lot of memory
[00:52] <Segfault_> and you can access your filesystem from windows applications if you need to
[00:52] <keviv> Wine Is Not an Emulator
[00:52] <keviv> That's why it's faster
[00:53] <keviv> Bashing-om: thanks. That helped a lot. Vanilla Ubuntu it is!
[00:53] <Bashing-om> keviv: Yep. less ya doing media stuff .
[00:54] <irreverant> but doesn't wine open up your system to infections?
[00:55] <aukun> how to when i put locate, run sudo updatedb and locate , when i put in .bashrc a new line alias locate='sudo updatedb && locate' doesn't workit, how to?
[00:55] <somsip> !info varicad
[00:55] <q_a_z_steve> Is there a channel on freenode for Ubuntu Mini Remix?
[00:56] <keviv> Bashing-om: I was going to occasionally, but the alleged battery drain (this is for my laptop) just isn't worth it
[00:57] <knob> q_a_z_steve, I don't think there will be one that specific... yet, maybe google throws something?
[00:57] <Segfault_> aukun: Running updatedb every time you use locate might not be a good idea. I'm not sure how much time that update takes, but I doubt it is fast enough to not be annoying
[00:57] <q_a_z_steve> I'm just looking at their site and curious if there is IRC support at all.
[00:58] <Segfault_> aukun: And; did you close and open a new terminal after adding that alias?
[00:59] <keviv> #gimp is a wasteland. Anybody know anything about Python-fu, or should I move to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[01:00] <Bashing-om> keviv: Correct, ocassional media usage does not warrent the "low latency" kernel . I thouhgt abot that too a while back, for a different application. LL great for what it is, but not when miss-used, huh ?
[01:02] <thumbee> hi! can anyone identify the flaw of my troubleshooting procedure. i was trying to solve why mkswap /dev/sda2 was returning 'not enough space' (i was extending a wifi router with usb storage).  the problem/solution was i was creating the swap partition "type" in fdisk as "extended" and not "primary".
[01:02] <keviv> Bashing-om: yea I had no idea it had a different kernel; I just thought it had the most popular packages pre-installed
[01:02] <thumbee> solution was absolutely silly. press "p" for primary as oppose to "e" for extended. solved. the word "extended" made sense to me though.. cause like 'extended partition' and not the primary.. (lacking understanding of what swap means yes..) but i really SHOULD have been able to correct my own error earlier than like 4hr
[01:02] <aukun> Segfault my problem is when i rm a file in a folder and then i locate this file output the path of this file when this file no exist, for this i need updatedb
[01:02] <keviv> Bashing-om: most popular media packages
[01:03] <expunge> aukun: 'find' will give you a better idea of non-enduring files, faster
[01:03] <netlar> Anyone have recommendations for a good Calendar App?
[01:03] <samthewildone> does anyone know how I can create a tarball for my program ?
[01:04] <eeee> expunge: not that i use locate, but it would be faster than find, given it's updated automatically and would only need a little updating
[01:04] <expunge> samthewildone: tar -cJf program.tar program_dir
[01:04] <expunge> samthewildone: oops, did it again
[01:04] <expunge> samthewildone: tar -cJf program.tar.xz program_dir
[01:04] <samthewildone> expunge, Hi !
[01:04] <expunge> heyo
[01:04] <samthewildone> expunge, so I go to my source folder of my program via term I suppose ?
[01:04] <expunge> eeee: it is faster, but only for files that are always in the same place
[01:04] <samthewildone> then run that command ?
[01:06] <expunge> samthewildone: it's simpler from inside the program's parent dir
[01:10] <samthewildone> expunge, can you test my file
[01:10] <samthewildone> its a simple text finder from Qt
[01:10] <expunge> samthewildone: sure
[01:11] <expunge> samthewildone: or you can, with tar -tvf foo.tar.xz
[01:11] <aukun> yes expunge find is better but the problem with find output also the cache folders
[01:11] <expunge> aukun: hmm?
[01:11] <EternalScholar> Yo all is skype updated for ubuntu 14.04?
[01:12] <somsip> !info skype | EternalScholar
[01:12] <somsip> EternalScholar: not helpful...Skype 4.3.0.37
[01:12] <expunge> EternalScholar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[01:14] <aukun> hot to do find a files "*.mp4" in all hard disks without output cache folders?
[01:15] <expunge> aukun: cache folders?
[01:17] <expunge> aukun: using Unix systems since 2004, not sure what you're referring to
[01:17] <eeee> aukun:  find / -iname "*.mp4" | grep -v ".cache"
[01:17] <aukun> mozilla/cache
[01:18] <eeee> that'll remove the .cache folders
[01:18] <aarobc> Um, why would my mouse suddenly look like a bunch of weird lines?
[01:19] <expunge> aukun: that's a single directory
[01:19] <aarobc> almost like a bunch of cursors stacked on top of each other
[01:19] <expunge> aarobc: graphics driver glitch, maybe
[01:19] <aarobc> I tried screenshotting it put the screenshot just looks like a normal cursor
[01:19] <aukun> yes is possible exclude folder in find file?
[01:19] <aarobc> expunge: maybe. I am using the newest fglrx drivers
[01:20] <expunge> aukun: yup
[01:30] <ahklerner> hello i made two partitions when i just did an install of xubuntu and the second partition is available when i login, but is read only, what do i need to do to make it writeable?
[01:32] <expunge> ahklerner: sudo mount -o remount,rw /whatever
[01:33] <ahklerner> and to make that persistent across reboots ?
[01:33] <RiotBlasto> I actually just had that happen on with EBS a few hours ago
[01:34] <RiotBlasto> just... can't give u a fix, I didn't *need* the data on there so I just started up a new volume after wasting an hour..

[01:37] <maherrera89> Hello
[01:38] <maherrera89> anyone able to help to explaing how can I install itunes or any other software able to communicate with iphone 5s?
[01:38] <elfMobile> how do I add a ppa via command line without add-apt-repository?
[01:38] <THE_EVIL_DEAD> on ubuntu?
[01:38] <kostkon> maherrera89, try with rhythmbox, the default music player
[01:38] <maherrera89> THE_EVIL_DEAD, yes
[01:39] <elfMobile> THE_EVIL_DEAD: yes
[01:39] <friendlyfascism> lol
[01:39] <adoniscik> elfMobile, install sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
[01:40] <maherrera89> kostkon, is that app able to synch with iPhone?
[01:40] <elfMobile> adoniscik: I'm trying to do this from a Docker image.... I don't really want to install stuff I don't need to.  Doesn't it just add a line to some file somewhere?
[01:40] <expunge> maherrera89: to do what, exactly?
[01:40] <THE_EVIL_DEAD> maherrera89; you could use wine or cross over if you want i tunes
[01:40] <adoniscik> elfMobile, no docker experience, sorry
[01:40] <kostkon> elfMobile, create a name_of_ppa.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d   put the ppa repo lines in there
[01:40] <maherrera89> expunge, synch music and photos just like itunes...
[01:40] <kostkon> maherrera89, in theory, yes
[01:41] <kostkon> maherrera89, only music
[01:41] <elfMobile> kostkon: thanks a bunch
[01:41] <maherrera89> ok music is ok for now
[01:47] <expunge> maherrera89: you can run iTunes through a Windows VM, but it's some up-front work
[01:47] <expunge> better in the long run to use hardware that isn't vendor locked
[01:52] <Guest81751> I have ubuntu 12.04.05 lts and it doesn't work my touchpad: there is no touchpad drivers
[01:52] <Gacnt> Using Virt-Manager is it possible to change the specified OS after the VM has been setup? I keep getting a blue screen and a lot of the fixes say to pick Windows Server 2003 but I'm not sure where to change this flag
[01:52] <expunge> Gacnt: can probably grep its config dir for 'windows'
[01:53] <expunge> #kvm might know more
[01:53] <Gacnt> expunge Not sure how to do that
[01:53] <cuddylier> How do I update my ssl without upgrading my system from 12.04?
[01:53] <maherrera89> expunge, thats exactly what i was trying to avoid... lol but so far I will make a VM with Windows
[01:53] <cuddylier> I want to update past the latest vunerability.
[01:53] <expunge> Gacnt: find ~/ -iname '*virt*'
[01:54] <expunge> cuddylier: should come in through the normal updates
[01:54] <maherrera89> I saw Ubuntu detected my phone when i plug it in and suggest one app for music an other for pictures
[01:54] <kostkon> cuddylier, if you are up-to-date you are fine
[01:54] <cuddylier> expunge: Do you know the command? I tried apt-get update and then apt-get install openssl
[01:54] <cuddylier> My version is vulnerable though
[01:54] <cuddylier> ssl labs said
[01:54] <expunge> cuddylier: ssl labs?
[01:54] <cuddylier> for the latest exploit, not heartbleed
[01:54] <kostkon> cuddylier, version is same but it has been patched
[01:54] <cuddylier> https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
[01:54] <expunge> oh, which exploit?
[01:55] <cuddylier>  OpenSSL CCS vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224)
[01:55] <expunge> hah, how nice of ssltest to publish vulnerable sites =P
[01:56] <kostkon> cuddylier, already patched days ago http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2308-1/
[01:57] <cuddylier> kostkon: Yes, the only issue being I don't know the commands and can't find them anywhere
[01:57] <kostkon> cuddylier, and http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2232-4/
[01:57] <kostkon> cuddylier, which commands
[01:57] <cuddylier> To update
[01:57] <bsdude3> Hi, could someone help me with installing ubuntu?
[01:58] <kostkon> cuddylier, probably you are already up-to-date
[01:58] <Guest81751> Please, how it is possible to add touchpad device and configure its drivers on ubuntu 12.04.05?
[01:58] <cuddylier> kostkon: I'm not as ssl labs says I'm vulnerable
[01:58] <Beldar> bsdude3, If you describe the issue probably.
[01:58] <cuddylier> I have 1.0.1
[01:58] <cuddylier> On ubuntu 12.04
[01:58] <kostkon> cuddylier, i'll say ignre it. it just checks the version
[01:58] <bsdude3> I need to make an install disc that can both install the 64 bit and 32 bit version, does anybody know how to do this?
[01:58] <cuddylier> I haven't updated mine since the exploit though
[01:58] <bsdude3> have both versions installed on the same disc
[01:58] <cuddylier> So surely it's exploitable?
[01:59] <kostkon> cuddylier, you have an old version of ssl that is patched against all recent vulnverabilities
[01:59] <cuddylier> How can I be 100% sure?
[01:59] <kostkon> cuddylier, no idea
[01:59] <cuddylier> Or is 1.0.1 a patched version number?
[01:59] <rww> !libsslbug
[01:59] <rww> compare your package version number against those listed on the USN link
[01:59] <Beldar> bsdude3, Use a multiload app for usb's no issue.
[02:00] <rww> (NOT the output of openssl's version command)
[02:00] <bsdude3> can I use it for a disc as well?
[02:00] <bsdude3> like a cd-r
[02:00] <bsdude3> or dvd-r
[02:00] <Beldar> bsdude3, Discs are images not really an option.

[02:10] <q_a_z_steve> what's the best way to rsync between a mac and ubuntu?
[02:12] <thumbee> can someone explain the motivation behind naming mkswap, mkswap. and not mkfs
[02:12] <thumbee> because the swap is a partition
[02:13] <maherrera89> gusy, just downloaded skype, its a tar.bz2 file
[02:13] <rww> thumbee: because swap partitions don't contain a filesystem
[02:13] <maherrera89> guys***
[02:13] <maherrera89> can someone explain how to install
[02:13] <maherrera89> just new on linux
[02:13] <maherrera89> thank
[02:13] <maherrera89> thanks
[02:13] <DalekSec> !skype
[02:13] <Beldar> maherrera89, skype is a deb for ubuntu.
[02:14] <Beldar> maherrera89, It is in the repos use that version.
[02:14] <q_> hi motherfuckers
[02:14] <maherrera89> I do not have it on the soft center
[02:14] <q_> i want to fuck your asses
[02:14] <maherrera89> is think i do not have that repo
[02:15] <maherrera89> Beldar, it is not in the soft center
[02:15] <rww> q_: probably best you go read the guidelines in the /topic before saying anything else
[02:15] <q_> i had a shit on that repo
[02:15] <q_> i jizzed all over the soft center
[02:15] <nikitamog> ah much better.
[02:15] <thumbee> rww: if swap partitions dont contain a fs. when WHY when creating the swap PARITION. do i have to select "primary partition" or "extended". note you have to select "primary partition" (this shit stumped me all day and ruined my day)
[02:16] <Beldar> maherrera89, You may need to open it, look in software & updates-other software and make sure the partners and independent are ticked.
[02:16] <sydney> good :) much better :)
[02:16] <rww> thumbee: "partition" and "filesystem" aren't synonyms, so I don't understand the logic behind your question
[02:16] <rww> and you can set a swap partition as extended just fine...
[02:17] <thumbee> im fairly certain u cant.. i was stuck on this problem all day where i ran mkswap /dev/sda2 and it produces an error 'not enough space'
[02:17] <rww> all extended partitions have partition numbers greater than or equal to 5, for a start
[02:18] <thumbee> took me a world of hurt to realize my mistake was when i created the swap partition, it was supose to be type='primary partition' and not "extended"
[02:18] <rww> so yes, if you created an extended partition and then tried to reference it as sda2 that wouldn't work
[02:18] <thumbee> i wish the error message would indicate that. as oppose to "not enough space"
[02:19] <rww> well, command-line tools tend to have interesting logic. it's one reason people in here tend to stick to the shiny GUI stuff
[02:20] <thumbee> so what your saying is if my sda # was say /dev/sda6 it would have mkswap'ed fine. HMM
[02:20] <thumbee> now that would have been another world of hurt because it would have let me through then i wouldnt realize my swap partition was done incorrectl
[02:20] <thumbee> *incorrectly
[02:20] <rww> i'm saying that the extended partition you created would probably have been named /dev/sda5, so mkswap /dev/sda5 would have worked
[02:21] <thumbee> oh. nope. because the first step in fsck is to selet the number. i selected the next number up.. ie. used only sda1.
[02:21] <rww> do you mean fdisk?
[02:22] <thumbee> *yes sorry. fdisk
[02:22] <rww> oh, I'm being an idiot. fdisk uses the terminology extended to refer to an msdos partition that contains one or more logical partitions...
[02:23]  * rww pulls up fdisk and checks some assumptions
[02:23] <thumbee> HA... not funny. fdisk is not funny
[02:23] <rww> ah, yeah, the manpage says as much...
[02:24] <Gacnt> So with Virt-Manager I'm getting an IP something like 192.168.1.122, but my actual lan IP range is 10.0.0.* so how can I assign an actual ip address instead of some bridged one
[02:24] <maherrera89> Beldar, I have checked the repos and it was missing, I added and currently installing will see if it works good with the camera and mic
[02:24] <maherrera89> thanks
[02:24] <kostkon> maherrera89, enabled the partner repo?
[02:26] <maherrera89> yes
[02:26] <maherrera89> kostkon, yes i did
[02:26] <thumbee> rww: there is an on-going dillema with linux/fs/systems im having.. ppl keep telling me just read about it. well there's a balance though. are you really going to read a book on python if you need to write a 5 line script
[02:26] <kostkon> maherrera89, k
[02:26] <rww> thumbee: may I ask why you're doing this manually instead of having one of the Ubuntu installation programs handle it?
[02:27] <nikitamog> still a little confused on how simlinking works
[02:27] <thumbee> yes - i read (and was not successful) mkswap. i did NOT understand it as the equivalent of 'formatting'. but interpretted as a 'initialization' after formatting
[02:27] <rww> erm, that doesn't answer my question
[02:27] <nikitamog> so the file replaced is a reference to the folder i'm simlinking...
[02:28] <thumbee> rww: im running it on a 4M wifi router (tp-link mr3020). usb key attaches to the $30 router to give it more space
[02:28] <nikitamog> so how would I tell my os to refer to a folder in a different harddrive
[02:28] <thumbee> rww: it uses busybox (which i think is some linux variant?).
[02:29] <rww> thumbee: busybox is a coreutils variant that implements the basic command-line tools you would use on a Linux system
[02:29] <rww> anyways, that doesn't sound at all like Ubuntu, so try ##linux.
[02:30] <vicsar> .
[02:30] <OerHeks> nikitamog, looks easy to do http://www.windows-to-linux.com/2013/09/run-playonlinux-games-outside-home-directory/
[02:30] <thumbee> its really not even linux. its my core logic is fucked up
[02:31] <thumbee> my abilitiy to problem solve and troubleshoot the problem was the level of a 1st grade peanut
[02:31] <rww> point being, it doesn't belong here (and neither does cursing, fwiw)
[02:31] <nikitamog> OerHeks: thanks for the link i'll read up
[02:32] <akurilin> question: say I have a logrotate for nginx that's set to 52 weekly by default. I really don't need it for that long. If I set it to say 4 weeks, will logrotate nuke the older .gz files or will it leave htem alone?
[02:32] <thumbee> it doesnt belong anywhere. (both the core question. and the language)
[02:38] <thumbee> rww: but yes. thank you. mkswap = format for swap. mkfs = format for file system.  file system != swap. if i understood what you explained to me above.
[02:39] <thumbee> err. partition != file system.
[02:43] <Organicanarchy> Hello, I'm trying to dual boot with windows 8 (no EUFI) I just upgarded from 7. WHen I run the installer, it sees my hard drives as free space (they most certainly are NOT free space) any ideas on how I can get it to see my data so I can parition correctly?
[02:44] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, Can you run sudo parted -l and pastebin it.
[02:44] <Organicanarchy> Beldar, will you be here for a bit? IM currently booted into windows
[02:45] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, Sure, you probably have gpt bits, did you change the partition table with the W7 install?
[02:45] <Beldar> er W8
[02:45] <Organicanarchy> I didnt upgrade, I just reformatted and did a clean install, just said upgrade to put down any EUFI theories
[02:45] <Techku> Hello all, I seem to be having a problem with fuse, not sure this is the right channel, anyhow I am attempting to pass commands -o --public with encfs and it keeps telling me it's an unknown command and that the kernel module is not installed
[02:45] <Organicanarchy> brb rebooting
[02:46] <rww> fyi UEFI
[02:46] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, unallocated indicates issues in the partition table either broken or having gpt bits, are two.
[02:51] <Techku> So I am hoping to get some help as I previously stated - here's a paste of what I am getting in terminal - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8174635/
[02:52] <Gacnt> TJ- Thanks for the help, everythings running now
[02:52] <samthewildone> expunge, nothing but fail
[02:52] <samthewildone> :|
[02:52] <samthewildone> Try creating a .deb package and, created a monster
[02:54] <cuddylier> How do I check if my box can access a certain port?
[02:55] <cuddylier> I think netstat, if so, what is the command?
[02:58] <RiotBlasto> I'd just ping it
[02:58] <RiotBlasto> and then u can run a traceroute to see where it cuts off if it hangs.
[03:00] <SchrodingersScat> nmap could check a port, yeah?
[03:00] <RiotBlasto> yup
[03:04] <samthewildone> seems like a complete pain to create .deb packages.
[03:05] <samthewildone> follow some make shift guides and, still nothing.
[03:12] <expunge> samthewildone: =)
[03:16] <metaspike> samthewildone, when i was starting off, i used this: https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall
[03:17] <metaspike> it's seriously, an extra word and you've got debs
[03:18] <metaspike> i wish they had something similar in the .yum "scene"
[03:20] <somsip> SchrodingersScat: external tool at grc.com (Shields Up) if you want a simple pen test
[03:23] <nircUser> hi
[03:24] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: are you still here?
[03:24] <antonio_> Hey folks...
[03:24] <Beldar> barely
[03:25] <Organicanarchy> what was the command you wanted me to enter and put in a pastebin?
[03:25] <antonio_> I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to stream my computer screen to my Vizio Smart tv?
[03:25] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, sudo parted -l
[03:25] <RiotBlasto> @antonio: hdmi, chromecast, etc.
[03:25] <Organicanarchy> asking me if I have  GPT patition table
[03:25] <RiotBlasto> I have one as well, that's what I do
[03:26] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: how do I tell if I have a GPT parition table?
[03:27] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, That is why I wanted that command. Did you ever have gpt partitions?
[03:27] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: im not even sure what a GPT partition table is
[03:28] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, What did that computer start out as what OS and when was it purchased?
[03:28] <Organicanarchy> it had windows 7 on it when my sister bought it a few years ago, I lost my last linux PC in a house flood, I got this and immidiately put windows 8 on it, fresh install from a USB stick
[03:29] <Organicanarchy> it was purchased maybe 2-3 years ago
[03:29] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, IT would help to confirm the partitioning, can you post the output of that command?
[03:30] <Beldar> in a pastebin Organicanarchy
[03:30] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: http://pastebin.com/b2iPu1xy
[03:31] <OerHeks> Organicanarchy, parted tells you if you have gpt
[03:31] <Gacnt> With Virt-Manager is it possible to have a cd-rom on standby, I put a cd into my server running Win 7 VM but it still says insert a disk into cd drive when I double click on it
[03:31] <Organicanarchy> OerHeks: http://pastebin.com/b2iPu1xy
[03:31] <Organicanarchy> its asking me if its GPT
[03:31] <Organicanarchy> and i have no idea
[03:32] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, We don't support mint for one, answer yes to get the rest of the command
[03:33] <Organicanarchy> i tried asking in mint channels, got nothing, I figured this was close enough, its mainly same base OS, just a few different repos for software
[03:33] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: http://pastebin.com/EaV1r4u8
[03:33] <Organicanarchy> then it gives me the same issue asking if its GPT
[03:33] <Abhijit> Organicanarchy, use their forums and wait for some time.
[03:34] <meta_away> GPT is common
[03:34] <vbgunz> I have a 10 button wireless mouse, xinput get-button-map returns 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. So I want buttons 8 and 9 swapped and entered xinput set-button-map 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 8 10 and confirmed it with xinput get-button-map. But buttons 8 and 9 are not swapped. Why?
[03:35] <Sachiru> Is there any official way to get the 3.16/3.17 kernels running on ubuntu without compiling a custom kernel?
[03:35] <meta_away> Organicanarchy, might as well say yes.
[03:35] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, Not close enough for mint support. You need to wipe the HD and make a msdos table, and or run this to reove the gpt, be sure you have windows backed up.
[03:35] <Beldar> http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html
[03:35] <Sachiru> Or in other terms, is there an official/semi-official way to install latest stable kernels on Ubuntu, not just the default 3.13?
[03:35] <vbgunz> do I need to log out and back in? Did I need to run it as sudo? I thought it should just work but maybe my mouse is racist?
[03:36] <meta_away> Sachiru, yeah, from the development repos
[03:36] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: here's the whole paste
[03:36] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: http://pastebin.com/6PpAsqr7
[03:36] <Sachiru> @meta: Are those considered as stable and/or production ready?
[03:37] <meta_away> dunno
[03:37] <Sachiru> For file server use.
[03:37] <meta_away> if its a new server, should be fine.
[03:37] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, Hard to say, I would wipe the HD make a msdos table reinstall windows than mint. If there is a uefi bios adjust accordingly
[03:38] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: basically no "easy" way of dual booting if I care about my windows partition?
[03:38] <Lawiet> Hello
[03:38] <HankyD_Tubs> hi
[03:38] <Lawiet> What the chanel for spanish ?
[03:38] <HankyD_Tubs> I haven't used IRC in probably ten years
[03:39] <meta_away> @spanish
[03:39] <Sachiru> Not a new server, sadly.
[03:39] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, If you had a clue maybe and were running ubuntu. ;) that was a maybe
[03:39] <meta_away> !spanish
[03:39] <OerHeks> !es
[03:39] <ObrienDave> !es | Lawiet
[03:39] <Sachiru> The reason why I want 3.16/17 is for the improvements that they made for ZRAM.
[03:40] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, You have two OS neither supported here, what is wrong with this picture?
[03:40] <meta_away> si, si
[03:40] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: I hear ya, thanks for at least checking it out
[03:41] <biella> #debconf
[03:41] <Lawiet> Any chanel for gnu linux in general?
[03:41] <Beldar> Organicanarchy, I would just do the msdos table on the HD and reinstall, it appears you may have a uefi install with windows or there was a efi boot partition, hard to tell really
[03:42] <Organicanarchy> Beldar: I think that might be the way to go, I'm getting a bit sick of window's shit anyway
[03:42] <Beldar> Lawiet, I don't believe so, just OS that lean that way.
[03:42] <antonio_> I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to stream my computer screen to my Vizio Smart tv?
[03:43] <Lawiet> But some chanel gnu linux?
[03:45] <Beldar> Lawiet, Your questions makes no sense basically, ubuntu is gnu linux in it's vanilla state.
[03:45] <Gacnt> http://askubuntu.com/questions/517392/how-to-enable-cd-dvd-drive-to-standby-and-wait-for-physical-media
[03:46] <HankyD_Tubs> Beldar, can you explain that? I'm new to linux as well
[03:46] <Lawiet> Ok sorry.
[03:46] <Beldar> Lawiet gnu linux is not a club but a decision of use.
[03:46] <OerHeks> !alis | Lawiet
[03:46] <ObrienDave> antonio_, [20:25:50] <RiotBlasto> @antonio: hdmi, chromecast, etc.
[03:47] <antonio_> obriendave: I don't have hdmi, and I don't want to get chromecast..anything else you can think of?
[03:47] <Beldar> HankyD_Tubs, If you need the definitions it is all on the web, it's not something I ever really consider.
[03:48] <Beldar> open closed source if it works and is not bad for me I use it.
[03:49] <Beldar> even windows muhahaha
[03:49] <HankyD_Tubs> I think I just had a misunderstanding
[03:51] <Lawiet> Join #ubuntu-cafe
[03:52] <ObrienDave> Lawiet, /join #ubuntu-cafe
[03:53] <Lawiet> How i go to ubuntu es cafe?
[03:53] <Loshki> Lawiet: you could always try #gnu
[03:55] <Beldar> heh, they have their own channel, must be a riot. ;)
[03:55] <ObrienDave> Lawiet, /join #ubuntu-es-cafe
[03:55] <ObrienDave> all 13 of them ;P

[03:57] <Lawiet> Thanks
[03:57] <HankyD_Tubs> eww
[04:01] <antonio_> Does anyone know if its possible to stream a computers desktop to a Smart TV via DLNA?
[04:02] <expunge> antonio_: you could _probably_ stream through a video file
[04:03] <antonio_> hmm
[04:03] <expunge> antonio_: but probably not really =P
[04:03] <expunge> most smart TVs are really obtuse about such things
[04:03] <expunge> despite being Linux based
[04:03] <antonio_> are most smart tvs linux based?
[04:03] <expunge> instead of simply attempting to play what you ask them to play, they run absurd checks
[04:03] <expunge> antonio_: yes of course
[04:03] <expunge> very cut down, proprietary, awful Linux distros
[04:04] <cfhowlett> expunge, I have no direct experience, but I see no shortage of android based TV's ...
[04:04] <expunge> kind of like Android, but even worse

[04:24] <stangeland> hi, is it possible to automaitically mount new disks under /media ?
[04:25] <Lawiet> How do i install skype at gnu linux?
[04:25] <Beldar> Lawiet, skype is not gnu
[04:25] <res> whois res0001
[04:26] <Beldar> Lawiet, What OS are you running, and why the continued reference to gnu when you seem to not really care?
[04:26] <Lawiet> Dont i can install skype?
[04:26] <nisstyre> there is a skype client for linux, I don't recommend it
[04:27] <nisstyre> https://stallman.org/skype.html
[04:27] <Zachary_DuBois> To do a source IP range in IPtables, you have to do something like '-m iprange --src-range 1.2.3.4-1.2.3.255' right?
[04:27] <Beldar> Lawiet, sudo apt-get install skype
[04:27] <meta_away> if you really, really, have to. get the beta...
[04:28] <Beldar> meta_away, Use nicks and justify your help if not within the ubuntu support norm.
[04:28] <Beldar> meta_away, This is not #ubuntu-opinions
[04:29] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, what is output of this command:        cat /etc/issue
[04:29] <cloudsss> Does anyone know if cube atlantis works in 14.04?
[04:29] <Lawiet> I use 12.04
[04:30] <Beldar> smells minty
[04:30] <cfhowlett> Lawiet,  show the exact output of this command:     cat /etc/issue
[04:32] <hemangpatel> Hi
[04:32] <hanshenrik> ehhh
[04:33] <hemangpatel> How can i improve battery life in laptop ?
[04:33] <hanshenrik> the mirrors.digipower.vn ubuntu update mirror is horrible out of date
[04:33] <hanshenrik> at least 3 months out of date, probably more
[04:33] <Beldar> hemangpatel, less backlight
[04:33] <hanshenrik> is that really an official mirror?
[04:34] <cfhowlett> hanshenrik, it happens.   fortunately, it's ridiculously easy to change mirrors.
[04:34] <Beldar> and more cowbell
[04:34] <ObrienDave> cfhowlett, but that would be too easy ;P
[04:34] <hemangpatel> less backlight ?
[04:34] <hanshenrik> the norwegian mirror is broken, the vietnamese mirror is way out of date... back to main server it is!
[04:35] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, *tweeeeeet*  flag on the play!  excessive and unauthorized snark!  5 yard penalty
[04:35] <hanshenrik> (im a norwegian, been living in vietnam the last 3 months :p )
[04:35] <ObrienDave> lol
[04:35] <Beldar> hemangpatel, There is not much you can do with battery use. The drivers are not made for linux but reversed for use.
[04:37] <hemangpatel> Beldar, is this useful , http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html
[04:37] <Lawiet> Beldar i am a beginner at ubuntu so i ask
[04:38] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, you still haven't answered the question:   what is the exact output of cat /etc/issue
[04:38] <antonio_> Hey folks...
[04:38] <Lawiet> I dont understand the question
[04:39] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, open a terminal.   type in cat /etc/issue          and tell us what the feedback us
[04:39] <cfhowlett> *is*
[04:39] <Beldar> hemangpatel, Never used it, is in a ppa, not technically supported here. You can chase the dragon that does not exist till you where yourself out. Any changes are incrementally tiny, getting a better battery with more life will pay out better.
[04:40] <hanshenrik> Lawiet, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit < /etc/issue ;         what is the output?
[04:40] <Lawiet> Right now i cant i turn off the pc i am at my cellphone
[04:40] <hemangpatel> ok
[04:40] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, come back when you're ready to get your question answered
[04:41] <Beldar> Lawiet, Look up the definition of gnu and the free software foundation, it is only a part of linux, so randomly using gnu is a misnomer.
[04:41] <hanshenrik> really
[04:41] <Lawiet> Ok,but i can stay here
[04:41] <hanshenrik> nobody except you and stallman gives a shit
[04:41] <hanshenrik> Beldar.
[04:42] <cfhowlett> hanshenrik, language!
[04:42] <Lawiet> Beldar i know it
[04:42] <hanshenrik>  danish, swedish, norwegian, english, and studying Vietnamese, and i dropped Japanese
[04:42] <Beldar> hanshenrik, You have not followed the conversation and are not up on the context, go away.
[04:42] <ObrienDave> gee, full moon is not for 10 more days, sigh
[04:43] <Beldar> fanbois suck
[04:44] <Lawiet> Beldar i also say linux. Is necesary i tell ubuntu?
[04:44] <hanshenrik> cfhowlett, what languages do you speak?
[04:44] <xar> Any brilliant idea for a desktop app ?
[04:44] <Ben64> Lawiet: this channel is for ubuntu only, any other linux probably has their own channel
[04:44] <ObrienDave> Beldar, no feeding trolls ;P
[04:44] <cfhowlett> !language | hanshenrik,

[04:45] <xar> Any brilliant idea for a desktop app that I can DEVELOP ?
[04:46] <Lawiet> Ok thanks ,but i ask about ubuntu

[04:46] <cfhowlett> xar, ask ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:47] <hanshenrik> xar, a program that monitors other programs, and gives a warning when the GUI has not changed in X time. ill make it myself soon if nobody else does
[04:47] <xar> it's not off-topic, do you want to develop ubuntu ? help me to get a good idea for a desktop app if you want contributors !

[05:00] <dcndrew> Thanks, Loshki, that's why I'm in trouble. :D Because better cards as I know can filter noise, but it's easier to use USB. But USB is more expensive based on for example jack connections.
[05:01] <dcndrew> Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi 5.1 Pro USB (for example) had difficulties with Ubuntu as I read.
[05:01] <netlar> Is that what it is called, the HELP file?
[05:02] <dcndrew> PCI cards are cheaper, but I don't know if they can filter noise nice.
[05:04] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, professional recording?  get an interface.  The Presonus Audiobox (1 Box) did the job.  Casual/field recording?  Get an external mic for your smartphone.
[05:05] <dcndrew> I'm simply want to record videos, and my voice is really noisy. So not professional, but I'd like to get less noisy sound. :)
[05:05] <dcndrew> -'m... -.-
[05:07] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, use your smartphone.  edit video in openshot.  export to .mp4.
[05:07] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, bonus: easy to go into your closet where you clothes are hanging to record.  clothes make good sound dampeners.
[05:08] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: Gameplay videos. :)
[05:09] <dcndrew> But I'll try my smartphone's abilities, thanx. :D
[05:09] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, ah, that.  well: garbage in, garbage out.  start with the best recording you can get.
[05:10] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: The in is not that bad. Under Windows it's clearer than under Linux.
[05:11] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, you can use avconv to extract the audio, clean it in audacity and inject it back into the video with avconv ...
[05:13] <dcndrew> cfhowlett:  :D I just wanted to say that I'm using Audacity for sound only and I could make it with that! :D But it's more work. :)
[05:15] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, you're right, it's more work.  if you first edit sound with audacity, I'd suggest you then merge with video in openshot.  bonus:  you can add title boards and effects.
[05:16] <dcndrew> I'm thinking about recording the video with screen capture and the sound with Audacity, but I didn't think out how to channel the sounds through it... I'll explain. :D
[05:17] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, suggestion: sound capture on one track, your commentary on another track.  mixdown the audio to a single track, then merge to video with openshot
[05:17] <dcndrew> Just what I'm writing. XD
[05:18] <dcndrew> I didn't find out how to record two tracks at same time.
[05:18] <war59312> any idea on how to be able to browse an nfs share by hostname on a device in which i can not edit /etc/hosts...
[05:19] <dcndrew> Three exactly. :)
[05:19] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, my point.  you don't NEED to record them at the same time.  record you game play, do the commentary in Post Production, i.e. after the intial recording
[05:20] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: that won't be good. :/
[05:20] <dcndrew> I'll make some videos that way, it's true, but not all of them.
[05:21] <dcndrew> Gimme a sec.
[05:29] <war59312> avahi-daemon[698]: Failed to create server: No suitable network protocol available
[05:30] <war59312> Any ideas?
[05:31] <Lawiet> Some body play mmorpg?
[05:31] <dcndrew> Lawiet: Minecraft. :P
[05:32] <Lawiet> Minecraf is wow?
[05:33] <dcndrew> No, it's not. XD
[05:33] <war59312> n/m got it working, fix @ http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=6408
[05:33] <dcndrew> Not even MMORPG. So I was saying: I don't play MMO-s.
[05:33] <dcndrew> :D
[05:33] <Lawiet> Dcndrew some good mmorpg at steam?
[05:34] <ObrienDave> Lawiet, which one are you interested in?
[05:34] <Lawiet> Aa ok

[05:34] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, www.steampowered.com      for steam information.  when you have *UBUNTU* questions, please ask them here..
[05:34] <cfhowlett> Lawiet, or take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:35] <Lawiet> Omg i am sorry
[05:36] <basedaf> howdy
[05:38] <Lawiet> cfhowlett some chanel for games at english lenguage?
[05:38] <cfhowlett> !games | Lawiet,
[05:39] <Lawiet> I prefer a chanel irc
[05:39] <Gacnt> http://askubuntu.com/questions/517392/how-to-enable-cd-dvd-drive-to-standby-and-wait-for-physical-media
[05:39] <Gacnt> If anybody could answer that :)
[05:46] <basedaf> so
[05:47] <basedaf> my friends mom has an old xp machine.. is ubuntu 14 a bad idea?
[05:47] <basedaf> she does nothing but check email and use the net
[05:47] <basedaf> but i dread the day she asks abut itunes/netlix/ms office etc
[05:47] <cfhowlett> basedaf, lubuntu or xubuntu might be better.  lubuntu is optimized for older / lower spec machines
[05:48] <basedaf> yes i know, lots of f/oss alts  but shes a mom bruh
[05:48] <basedaf> cfhowlett: yeah good call
[05:48] <cfhowlett> basedaf, if you're moderately clever, you can grab the wallpapers from xp, set them up in *buntu and almost no one is the wiser.
[05:49] <antonio_> Is it possible to save my machines state?  So I can just start Ubuntu up and it'll load everything in the exact same way?
[05:49] <cfhowlett> antonio_, "save session"       but I'm on xubuntu, so I don't know exactly where you'll find this option.
[05:49] <basedaf> cfhowlett: yup that was my plan :]
[05:49] <basedaf> i did that for my grandmother a few yrs back
[05:50] <ObrienDave> basedaf, look into ZorinOS, it has an XP look already, based on Ubuntu also ;P
[05:51] <cfhowlett> basedaf, but NOT supported here!
[05:51]  * cfhowlett smacks ObrienDave on the back of his head
[05:52] <ObrienDave> pffffffft
[05:53] <basedaf> cfhowlett: sorry gotta fix my scroll back, whats not supportedhere?
[05:53] <ObrienDave> ZorinOS
[05:54] <cfhowlett> !flavors | basedaf, anything that is not an official ubuntu flavor
[05:54] <basedaf> gotcha
[05:59] <botnut> anyone have any thoughts on functional programming languages - i.e. scala, elixir, erlang, haskell ?
[05:59] <satty> hey guys
[06:00] <antonio_> anyone know how to save a session on 12.10?
[06:01] <satty> save session :p
[06:01] <antonio_> how do I save a session?
[06:02] <ObrienDave> look for sessions and startup, save session
[06:02] <cfhowlett> antonio_, 12.10 is end of life and no longer supported.  say bbye to security updates and consider your system vulnerable and exposed.  time to upgrade.
[06:02] <cfhowlett> !12.10
[06:03] <dcndrew> Holy... that cheap f... I've got a motherboard before and I remember that every mic had their own subdevice. This one hasn't (I changed from Intel P4 to AMD FX)
[06:03] <satty> antonio_: upgrade to latest one
[06:04] <antonio_> cfhowlett: Whats the chance that my system will break during the upgrade?
[06:05] <ObrienDave> 95% against
[06:05] <Snake2k> Ubuntu > Life.
[06:05] <cfhowlett> antonio_, assume it will and take precautions.
[06:05] <antonio_> what kind of precautions can I take?
[06:06] <ObrienDave> BACKUP
[06:07] <cfhowlett> antonio_, backup your backup
[06:08] <antonio_> Do you think a DVD will be enough for a backup?
[06:09] <ObrienDave> depends on how much you added. seriously doubtful
[06:10] <ObrienDave> backupp to external drive, fairly large USB stick, SD card, what ever
[06:12] <ObrienDave> antonio_, my backup to an external drive is 200GB
[06:13] <ObrienDave> and that's just /home
[06:13] <alexandr> Привет всем =)
[06:13] <ObrienDave> !ru | alexandr
[06:14] <Bustin> Hi there, I have an issue with Ubuntu 14.04LTS and an external hard drive. When I mount it, it mounts as read only, and I need to copy some files to it. It's a Macintosh Time Machine drive, HFS
[06:15] <somsip> Bustin: this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os
[06:16] <antonio_> I'll back this up later when I have an external HD
[06:16] <antonio_> In the meantime...how can I save a session on 12.10?
[06:16] <ObrienDave> look for sessions and startup, save session
[06:17] <ObrienDave> i don't use Unity, BTW ;P
[06:18] <gacnt> znc bouncer is awesome
[06:22] <Hexit> Could anybody help me with my trackpad?
[06:22] <Hexit> I have one of those laptops with the physical buttons combined with the trackpad itself
[06:22] <antonio_> does anyone know how to save a session on unity 12.10?
[06:22] <gorgath> !gtk
[06:23] <ObrienDave> Hexit, not without knowing what the issue is
[06:23] <Hexit> ObrienDave: oh, sorry, issue I'm having is it's hard to right-click with it since clicking on the bottom-right edge acts as a left click
[06:23] <IdleOne> antonio_: you don't. You upgrade because 12.10 is no longer supported
[06:24] <gorgath> how do I install gtk+3
[06:24] <ObrienDave> Hexit, sounds like you have dirty buttons
[06:25] <antonio_> idleone: so you're saying that 12.10 was never able to save sessions?
[06:25] <Hexit> ObrienDave: I'm dual-booting with Windows and it doesn't do that there :L
[06:26] <bekks> !quantal | antonio_
[06:26] <IdleOne> antonio_: What I am saying is that 12.10 is no longer supported. That means we don't provide any support for it except to tell people that they really need to upgrade to a supported version.
[06:26] <ObrienDave> Hexit, maybe you need to swap button assignments, i'm not really sure
[06:26] <antonio_> idleone: I realize that.  Right now upgrading is not an option because I don't have an ext HD.  I just need to now how to save a session...
[06:28] <Bustin> somsip: did not work, been at it for an hour now, not sure what else I can do :(
[06:31] <gorgath> I think I'm getting DDOSed
[06:31] <gorgath> :(
[06:31] <gorgath> !ddos
[06:31] <Ben64> gorgath: doesn't seem related to ubuntu support really
[06:32] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: It looks like I solved the noise problem... ¬.¬
[06:33] <ObrienDave> oh? how?
[06:34] <dcndrew> Lowered the input volume and killed Pulseaudio... Audacity records cleaner sound.
[06:34] <dcndrew> BTW, that's not a real solution, but it's a bit cleaner. :D
[06:35] <ObrienDave> hmmmm, interesting. i record from the soundcard using audacity to separate songs ;P
[06:37] <ObrienDave> actually, i use this through the soundcard; https://launchpad.net/audio-recorder
[06:37] <dcndrew> Can you record two channels with Audacity or anything?
[06:38] <ObrienDave> save as flac and then audacity to save the songs as MP3s. yes, i get stereo
[06:38] <dcndrew> I mean game sounds in stereo and my voice in mono.
[06:39] <ObrienDave> yes, it will record multiple tracks
[06:39] <dcndrew> How?
[06:39] <dcndrew> :D
[06:40] <ObrienDave> http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/mixing.html
[06:40] <dcndrew> Well, that was interesting... I connected my mic by JACK to speaker. I's noisy. At the same time I record it with Audacity. Playing the record is clean.
[06:42] <dcndrew> Just before I read: Is this only mixing or there is something about recording at the same time.
[06:42] <gorgath> gorgath@hp:~$ gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o example-0 example-0.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`
[06:42] <gorgath> Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
[06:42] <gorgath> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
[06:42] <gorgath> to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
[06:42] <gorgath> I can't use gtk for some readon
[06:42] <gorgath> reason*

[06:49] <markhayden> anyone want to help me debug what i think are unity issues? after login it just hangs, loads background and mouse but never anything else. have tried about 10 approaches in the forums and such with no luck. not really sure where to start as far as reviewing logs, new to ubuntu.
[06:49] <Jeeves_Moss> I'm getting an error of "AH01630: client denied by server configuration:" after doing a release upgrade on my ubuntu server "AH01630: client denied by server configuration:".   how do I fix this?

[06:54] <ChaosBringer> Hi all, quick question: I have a dedicated GFX card and a pretty good integrated one as well. Right now I'm using the nouveau drivers and I can use both cards enabled with 3 monitors (1 on the integrated). However, my mouse flickers on one of the monitors (on the dedicated) sometimes. Is there any way to have the proprietary drivers and use both cards?
[06:55] <ObrienDave> Jeeves_Moss, try in #ubuntu-server
[06:56] <ChaosBringer> NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce GTS 250] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) and Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v4 IGC (rev 06)
[07:01] <dcndrew> well..
[07:02] <dcndrew> Now i could make USB Webcam capture at the same time with onboard microphone in JACK.
[07:06] <dcndrew> Now I need to connect the USB to the system group in Jack...
[07:12] <TaZeR> dcndrew: plug it in, plut it in
[07:12] <pumba> anyone have a solution for trackpad on laptops running ubuntu going crazy?
[07:12] <pumba> ive searhced the forums a bit.. nothing seems to work
[07:13] <dcndrew> TaZeR: Thank you! :D
[07:13] <TaZeR> dcndrew: np =)
[07:14] <TaZeR> pumba: have you maybe considered that its not the trackpad thats "crazy" but yourself?
[07:14] <TaZeR> computers do not make errors
[07:14] <Beldar> pumba, I know nothing about trackpads however, details matter here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[07:14] <TaZeR> if its not detected on installation thats fucked
[07:15] <TaZeR> quickly tell the guys at ubuntu

[07:24] <Mikk36> Hey
[07:24] <Mikk36> I'm having a small networking issue here
[07:25] <Mikk36> i swapped the ISP, every computer except this one ubuntu server 12.04 LTS can access the internet
[07:25] <frezix> hi, I'm doing a netinstall and I'm now at this stage - http://imgur.com/ba9qcCc - how do I remove that partitioning scheme and start fresh?
[07:25] <Mikk36> it can ping the local ip's just fine, the ip is there, the routing table is the same as on a working computer
[07:25] <Mikk36> but it just can't access the net
[07:27] <gorgath> !iphone
[07:28] <Flannel> frezix: Go to each partition in the list and remove each one.
[07:29] <tortib> Hello everyone.
[07:29] <tortib> I had dovecot running on my machine and I recently installed dovecot-mysql and now the init.d file is missing.
[07:30] <gorgath> How do I put music on my iPhone
[07:31] <edition> the printscreen key is not working in ubuntu 14.04. Why?
[07:32] <frezix> Flannel: ah, I thought that option only erased data on the partition and not the partition itself. I'm now erasing as such - http://imgur.com/R6kpWCR
[07:33] <Flannel> frezix: depending on what you pick, it can do either!
[07:33] <gacnt> Reading about dnsmasq, do I need to point my router dns server to my local machine?
[07:37] <Flannel> frezix: That second screen makes me initially think you're re-using those same partitions, but I could be wrong.
[07:39] <frezix> Flannel: I believe I selected that partition and got 3 choices, one of them was "Erase data on this partition". Let's see how this works out.
[07:41] <Flannel> frezix: Oh, interesting.  LVM does have some different options.  But eventually, you'll get back to that original partitioning screen and have /NO/ partitions, just unallocated space (and then you can go ahead and create a set of new ones)

[08:04] <somsip> !find subprocess32 | Vladimir_
[08:05] <Vladimir_> just type !find <packagename> somsip ?
[08:05] <somsip> Vladimir_: so that's how you search, and it looks like there isn't onw
[08:05] <somsip> *one
[08:05] <somsip> Vladimir_: yep - works for files too, if the file is contained in a package
[08:05] <Beldar> alexamae_, So yo asked for this help 1 hr 7 mins ago I answered you pretty quick with two requests, it took this long to get just one. I will help you if I do not have to sit here waiting.
[08:05] <Vladimir_> somsip: it says !find: event not found ?
[08:06] <somsip> Vladimir_: because you are doing it in a terminal and you need to do it in IRC
[08:06] <Vladimir_> oh ok
[08:06] <Vladimir_> !find subprocess32
[08:06] <alexamae_> Beldar, sorry for the delay
[08:06] <k1l> Vladimir_: what do you want to do?
[08:06] <alexamae_> Beldar, im beginner in  ubuntu
[08:06] <Beldar> alexamae_, What is it you want to do?
[08:07] <Vladimir_> I need a package callaed subprocess32 but it can't find it in the current repos k1l
[08:07] <alexamae_> Beldar, i just want to make a backup file for my file like doc and movie file
[08:07] <k1l> Vladimir_: so what is your ubuntu version?
[08:07] <tarelerulz> I was trying to use Grooveshark and It said something about  switching to the html 5 version and  It said I need some thing for html5  to play the mp3 streams in firefox.  What are my options?
[08:07] <alexamae_> Beldar, i want to partitin my hard drive
[08:07] <alexamae_> Beldar, i just dont know how to use gparted
[08:08] <k1l> Vladimir_: are you sure its a ubuntu package?
[08:08] <Vladimir_> k1l: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/subprocess32/
[08:09] <Beldar> alexamae_, You will have to use as live dvd/usb to have all partitions unmounted and resize what you have and make another partition. I would just back up on an external, any HD can fail at any time, your better having two different HD's
[08:09] <k1l> Vladimir_: so its a 3rd party package anyway
[08:10] <Vladimir_> it's Debian I'm on
[08:10] <alexamae_> Beldar, i already install ubuntu, is that ok to partition it using gparted?
[08:10] <k1l> Vladimir_: ok, then ask the debian support
[08:10] <Vladimir_> yeah, I'm wondering how to install it on the system without manually downloading it from the website k1l
[08:10] <k1l> Vladimir_: debian handles things different, so please ask in #debian , thanks
[08:10] <Beldar> alexamae_, yes, but from a live disc or usb, you cannot resize what your using.
[08:11] <liakost_1> hi
[08:11] <alexamae_> Beldar, is there any tutorial for that?
[08:12] <Vladimir_> k1l: thanks=)

[08:18] <ikonia> neo__: code for what ?
[08:19] <k1l> neo__: you dont need to register for ubuntu, its free
[08:20] <neo__> to register on the site http://community.linuxmint.com/

[08:22] <shish0r> guys, is there any way to restart whatever service calculates the load averages?
[08:22] <shish0r> without rebooting the machine of course
[08:23] <ikonia> it's not a service
[08:23] <shish0r> yeah, i didn't think so
[08:23] <shish0r> the most bizarre thing happend this morning, it went from giving sensible readings to suddenly saying the load average was ~ 4billion
[08:24] <ikonia> I suspect your clock is scewed
[08:24] <shish0r> interesting thought
[08:24] <cynicallemon> ikonia: or he is...
[08:25] <ikonia> cynicallemon: what ?
[08:27] <shish0r> ikonia: did you mean general system time, or some other clock?
[08:27] <ikonia> shish0r: system time
[08:29] <shish0r> I've juts looked through my ntp stats and they show i'm no more than 12-14milliseconds out at the moment and haven't been more than that for ages. any other ideas?
[08:30] <dcndrew> re
[08:31] <gacnt> So I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq on my server, and when I dig google.ca, the result is expected 0ms, but when I do it on my other computer on the same network, it still gets like 50ms, how come it doesn't seem to be using dnsmasq cache?
[08:32] <dcndrew> Now I have 3 input in ALSA. When I start to record in Audacity, there appears PortAudio where are only 2 channels.
[08:34] <dcndrew> I can connect the third input to any of the two output of PortAudio, but I need a third channel.
[08:35] <cynicallemon> gacnt: never found dnsmasq much use as a dns cache, i prefer to use unbound
[08:35] <gacnt> cynicallemon I don't get how my computer on say 10.0.0.10 uses the cache if the cache is hosted on 10.0.0.100
[08:37] <newbie86> Hi the World
[08:37] <newbie86> Who speaks French?
[08:37] <bazhang> !fr
[08:38] <cynicallemon> gacnt: well you have to point the client to look at the dnsmasq server either by manually configuring /etc/resolv.conf or specifying it via your dhcp settings
[08:38] <dcndrew> newbie86: You. I think. :D
[08:38] <gacnt> cynicallemon Like in my Router DNS set primary/secondary to my server?
[08:38] <newbie86> thank you
[08:39] <jadedgno> quit
[08:39] <gacnt> cynicallemon It seems so poorly documented, I'm not even sure how to use it as a DHCP server either, I have followed the steps to make it work as a DHCP server, but not sure how to use it
[08:40] <cynicallemon> gacnt: yeah, i always make sure i have a 2nd or 3rd entry pointing to my isp's dns so it the internal dns is not operational you still have some dns resolution
[08:41] <cynicallemon> gacnt: i tried dnsmasq for a while but its limited and a bit flaky i thought
[08:41] <gacnt> cynicallemon: So point my routers DNS to my server, how might I use the DHCP portion of it?
[08:43] <cynicallemon> gacnt: i personally use the standard isc_dhcp server - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server
[08:43] <alexamae_> Beldar, ok  i try thanks

[08:46] <cfhowlett> pratz, read the link for assistance.  I've no direct experience with BT
[08:47] <gacnt> cynicallemon: Yeah, I'm just new to this so I'm just trying this one out, how might I use the DHCP server portion of it if you don't mind telling me
[08:47] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: Now i have a different problem. Sound is nice. Jack works, 3 inputs are working.
[08:47] <vinou33> Hello everybody. I am a bit lost. I would like to rip my blurays in order to put them on my tablet (my son wants to have the "how to train your dragon" movie when we are in the car during the holidays...). Nevertheless, i don't know what i can use. I tried to make some researches on google and there are two softwares which appear everytime: dumpHD and makemkv... But, i didn't find how to use them (i am sorry
[08:47] <vinou33> but i don't speak english very well, i am french). Can you help me please ?
[08:48] <cfhowlett> !fr | vinou33
[08:48] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: I want to connent the 3 inputs to Autacity. It looks like it can accept only 2 from jack.
[08:48] <dcndrew> can you help me?
[08:48] <cfhowlett> dcndrew, I am the LAST person to ask about jack!  but #opensourcesmusicans would almost certainly know.
[08:48] <cynicallemon> gacnt: best look at the docs to be honest - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq
[08:48] <dcndrew> cfhowlett: Thank you! :)
[08:48] <dcndrew> There is nobody. :D

[09:52] <^7heo> Hello everyone.
[09:53] <^7heo> I'm installing ubuntu 14.04 using the default installer. I got to the point where I partition the disk and setup optional encryption and LVM. My question is as follows: if I check "use LVM" and "encrypt the disks", will I get a LVM over LUKS setup?
[09:54] <^7heo> (i.e. / and swap in LVM, encrypted via LUKS, and booted with an unencrypted separate /boot)
[09:55] <typ> how else would it be encrypted?
[09:55] <^7heo> eCrypt?
[09:56] <raymond> I am trying to install 12.04 via a preseed on a disk which already have LVM previously installed on it. I'm getting an error "ERROR: Volume group name already in use" I'm tryin to figure out how to get around this. I've tried adding "d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true" but no love. Any pointers would be *most* welcome.
[09:56] <^7heo> eCryptfs even
[09:56] <typ> never heard of it
[09:57] <^7heo> raymond: I take that you wanted to type 14.04?
[09:57] <theperfectpunk> can anybody tell me how i can change the colors of comments in nano?
[09:57] <raymond> ^7heo: Nope, 12.04 ( client requirement )
[09:57] <^7heo> raymond: I'm sorry for you.
[09:57] <raymond> ^7heo: yup. :\
[09:57] <typ> theperfectpunk: http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.1/nanorc.5.html
[09:58] <raymond> ^7heo: any thoughts?
[09:58] <Tzunamii> theperfectpunk: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133595 is worth a look as well
[09:59] <typ> pretty easy to google...
[10:00] <^7heo> Any idea about LUKS or eCryptfs, anyone?
[10:00] <cynicallemon> typ: sssshhh, dont tell people that :)
[10:00] <typ> i'm pretty sure it's luks
[10:01] <Abhijit> !details | ^7heo
[10:01] <typ> Abhijit: ubuntu installer setup, check LVM and check encrypt home; is it LUKS or ecryptfs?
[10:02] <Abhijit> :-o
[10:02] <typ> i think it's luks
[10:02] <Abhijit> ecryptfs?
[10:02] <typ> that was my reaction too
[10:03] <Abhijit> encrypted lvm is luks.

[10:07] <darksider> anyone with mail forwarding experience? I want to forward messages sent to root to a gmail address. what i get is
[10:08] <deitario1> The Google answers seem to indicate that I also need to give the files a COM, EXE, or BAT extension, but I don't have time to rewrite this entire mess of scripts I didn't originate so they use different filenames.
[10:09] <cynicallemon> darksider: what mailserver?
[10:10] <^7heo> Alexandr: so if I check "LVM" and "encrypt the disk", I end up with LVM over LUKS, that's sure?
[10:10] <darksider> cynicallemon: gmail
[10:11] <darksider> cynicallemon: sorry, postfix
[10:11] <blomp> I'm trying to create 100 files each with a size of around 1MB. First I tried creating 100 files using "touch {1..100}" and it succeeded. Then I tried creating 100 files around 1MB each using "fallocate -l 1048576 {1..100}" but that did not work. More info on fallocate here - http://superuser.com/questions/609020/how-can-i-create-a-file-with-a-specific-size-from-a-command-line/609024#609024
[10:12]  * gorgath is listening to linkin park's newest album
[10:12] <CatKiller> blomp: You can use "truncate" to create sparse files
[10:13] <cynicallemon> darksider if its for the root account on the postfix server then configure the aliases file to map root to the gmail account
[10:14] <darksider> cynicallemon: this is my /etc/aliases
[10:14] <darksider> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/893b3a5a1a8fef313cd9
[10:14] <cynicallemon> darksider: take a look at this, http://blog.bobbyallen.me/2013/02/03/how-to-redirect-local-root-mail-to-an-external-email-address-on-linux/
[10:14] <marcrs> what happend to evolution on utopic? depends on libevolution (>= 3.12) and libevolution (< 3.13)
[10:16] <blomp> CatKiller: I thought this {1..100} was always expanded by the shell, so hence I thought it also worked with fallocate. I wanted to try it with non-sparse files so that's why I was interested in it.
[10:16] <deitario1> OK, now I'm pissed off. I don't know how, but Ubuntu is flat-out disobeying me. I manually mount a FAT32 volume with this command and it has no effect on the permission bits: sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,mode=777,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=000,exec /dev/sdh1 /mnt/tmp
[10:16] <cynicallemon> darksider: that looks valid, did you issue the newaliases command after editing /etc/aliases?
[10:16] <darksider> yes
[10:16] <CatKiller> blomp: Expanded maybe, but in a single command (it won't repeat your command). Here you'd want the value to be expanded by the program you're using
[10:17] <eeee> deitario1: fat32 can't hold permissions?
[10:17] <darksider> cynicallemon: i ran "echo test | mail -s "test message" root" as another user, and when i login as root, i get -> no mail for root
[10:17] <deitario1> eeee: That's why you use mount options to tell it what permissions to fake for all files.
[10:19] <cynicallemon> darksider: you wont have mail in root as its been forwarded on to the specified account
[10:19] <Abhijit_Adhikari> hi!
[10:19] <darksider> cynicallemon:  nothing there, not even in the spam folder
[10:20] <cynicallemon> hmmm
[10:20] <darksider> cynicallemon: when I configure postfix, i used mediaserver.local as domain, could this be the problem?
[10:22] <cynicallemon> darksider: what role did you choose for the postfix server when it was installed?
[10:22] <darksider> internet
[10:23] <darksider> cynicallemon: Im new with this, so maybe I didnt know what I was doing :)
[10:23] <opalepatrick> I have had a prob with ubuntu since 13.10 I think. Grub just locks so I cant select other distros, just the default, which luckily is ubuntu that I work with.
[10:23] <opalepatrick> I fix it with boot-repair, it works, then when I get any sort of update it seems, it freezes again
[10:23] <opalepatrick>  I used to think it was only on header updates only, but it seems to happen regardless.
[10:24] <opalepatrick> any ideas?
[10:25] <darksider> cynicallemon: using dpkg-reconfigure. Used Internet Site to be more exact
[10:26] <blomp> CatKiller: ah ok, so if I understand correctly then touch program itself expanded my {1..100} argument instead of the shell?
[10:26] <CatKiller> blomp: The shell could have expanded it, but imagine what would happen: "touch 1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8 9" etc
[10:27] <CatKiller> blomp: That might be what you're looking for
[10:27] <cynicallemon> darksider: i think there is a forward only option possibly, providing you dont want incoming mail
[10:27] <CatKiller> blomp: maybe people on #bash might know better
[10:28] <darksider> cynicallemon: option are: no config, internet site, internet w/ smarthost, sattelite sys, local only
[10:29] <blomp> CatKiller: right, that then would create 9 files in total. That's equivalent to touch {1..9} if I'm not mistaken.
[10:30] <cynicallemon> darksider: you could try this - http://john.parnefjord.se/node/79
[10:30] <CatKiller> blomp: Works fine for me with touch anyways
[10:31] <cynicallemon> darksider: that will make gmail the smtp server via postfix
[10:31] <darksider> cynicallemon: thanks, trying now
[10:34] <blomp> CatKiller: for me too, but try the same but now with fallocate -l 1048576
[10:35] <CatKiller> blomp: Does "fallocate" takes multiple filenames as an input?
[10:35] <CatKiller> blomp: What does the help suggest?
[10:38] <blomp> CatKiller: hmm, doesn't seem to support it from what I can see - http://kpaste.net/e16bbf
[10:38] <CatKiller> blomp: Then use a "for" loop
[10:39] <blomp> ah ok, cool. Will do :)
[10:39] <blomp> thanks CatKiller

[12:25] <no_gravity> Hello! I changed the battery on my thinkpad and now there is no battery symbol in the taskbar anymore. Any idea what happened?
[12:30] <iptable> no_gravity, you need gravity for the acid in the battery to work well
[12:31] <no_gravity> iptable: sorry, i do not have humor.
[12:31] <iptable> no_gravity, no, seriously. you DO need gravity
[12:32] <iptable> no_gravity, once you UNPLUG it from charge, does the symbol appear then? if not, got to power management and you can choose if/when the battery applet should appear
[12:32] <no_gravity> iptable: no, it doesnt appear when i unplug.
[12:32] <no_gravity> iptable: where is that power management you want me to go to?
[12:33] <iptable> no_gravity, in system settings
[12:34] <iptable> no_gravity, first things first, is the new battery an original manufacturer battery provided to you with the same battery model number and specification?
[12:34] <no_gravity> iptable: there is something called "power". but that only has one dropdown for "suspend when inactive for X minutes"
[12:35] <no_gravity> iptable: its from a different manufacturer.
[12:35] <iptable> no_gravity, yes, power. and it has in battery powered systems "show battery status in menu bar" and a drop down for it
[12:35] <iptable> no_gravity, if you put the old battery in, does the indicator come back?
[12:35] <no_gravity> iptable: no, it hasnt anything but "suspend after x minutes"
[12:36] <no_gravity> iptable: maybe this battery does not tell the computer about itself?
[12:36] <pngl> I have a problem with a service in init.d. It doesn't start at boot, and sudo service <service-name> start/stop/etc fails. However, sudo /etc/init.d/<service-name> start/stop/etc works!
[12:36] <no_gravity> iptable: let me change to the old battery...
[12:36] <iptable> no_gravity, it looks like either 1. ubuntu is not aware that this is a laptop, or 2. the battery you are using is really bad because you wanted to save a few pennies and now will have to pay double. cheap batteries often have this thing about not reporting that they exist to the system.
[12:37] <iptable> no_gravity, hence they are cheap batteries. they are often missing a whole control board in them which would talk to the laptop.
[12:37] <damian-> so the 'no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory' has come up for other people besides me with v14.04.1 right?!
[12:37] <iptable> no_gravity, but yes, change to old battery and reboot first.
[12:37] <iptable> damian-, yes
[12:37] <no_gravity> iptable: changed to the old battery - the icon is back.
[12:37] <iptable> damian-, it's not 14.04 fault, samba has  abug
[12:38] <iptable> no_gravity, well, I'm afraid ubuntu forum cannot resolve hardware problems that are a result of you purchasing a half-working battery
[12:38] <damian-> good good, when it first happened no one in here would believe me that it's was ubuntu 14.04.1 and not my install (though i'd installed on three seperate .. not six seperate systems) hahaha
[12:38] <damian-> not = now
[12:38] <iptable> no_gravity, return to store as not fit for purpose, and then order original manufacturer battery.
[12:39] <iptable> damian-, they are right, it is not 14.04.1 fault. this issue existed for me in some earlier systems as well and are a result of a samba bug. not 14.04 bug.
[12:39] <mmizgier> pngl: you did sudo update-rc.d <service-name> defaults ?
[12:39] <VictorCL> hi I have downloaded chrome and the only way I see to execute is trhough the command line , how can I put it in the dash?
[12:39] <iptable> damian-, either choose to ignore this until fixed or uninstall samba if not using it. either way, there was a bug report on this somewhere already.
[12:40] <damian-> well, 14.04.1 came with a buggy samba :P
[12:40] <damian-> but that's cool, i don't care about it, i just wanted to know i wasn't going crazy
[12:40] <iptable> damian-, you might be, but that would need to be verified by a psychiatrist, we do not provide mental support :P
[12:41] <damian-> where can i go for that
[12:41] <iptable> damian-, your local general practitioner doctors will be able to advise you. alternatively you could go see a psychiatrist privately, although then they will just waste your time to get your money :D
[12:42] <benzhninja> is the featured option worth it on gumtree
[12:42] <iptable> damian-, although, the error at hand does exist and appear on 14.04 with samba installed ;)
[12:42] <damian-> i dont like making money leave my pocket
[12:42] <damian-> nah it doesn't
[12:42] <pngl> mmizgier: I just did, but I get the same error.
[12:43] <damian-> it only started after i did a release upgrade (which actually screwed the grub); every install i've done since has had the bug
[12:43] <damian-> but ahh well, who cares!
[12:43] <iptable> pngl, is the service there in /etc/init/ as well, or just in /etc/init.d/
[12:43] <damian-> so on a similar note (to your nickname moreso than anything else), wanna teach me some basic iptables? :P
[12:43] <damian-> (and note i'm pretty drunk, so it might be futile)
[12:43] <pngl> iptable: There is service-name.conf in /etc/init
[12:44] <iptable> damian-, I can, no problem, although it's best suited for a PM rather than this channel and most likely not for today. I am here Monday-Friday 9am-6pm UK time.
[12:44] <mmizgier> pngl: is it also in init.d?
[12:44] <iptable> pngl, ok, so it looks like the new init method of server-name in /etc/init is broken and the init.d (old sysV init) works
[12:44] <MotherMGA> Hello, I have bluetooth headphones that "just worked" in 13.10, but since the update to 14.04, they don't.  I've worked around two separate problems: 1) run `pacmd load-module module-bluetooth-discover > /dev/null` from the commandline to allow my headphones to connect and then I have to 2) run blueman-manager, rightlick on the headphones and set the audio profile to a2dp. Does anyone know how I can fix it, so the module is always 
[12:44] <damian-> oh, but i forget that i'm on freenode mode of the time, hahahaha
[12:44] <damian-> what time is it in UK atm?
[12:44] <pngl> iptable, mmizgier Sorry, I forgot to say that the error message is "Job failed to start" on "sudo service service-name start"
[12:45] <pngl> mmizgier: yes it is also in init.d
[12:45] <iptable> pngl, so you'd need to debug the /etc/init version, OR remove it form /etc/init (make a copy first) and use update-rc.d then and see if it picks up the old version automatically instead.
[12:45] <iptable> pngl, it looks like the new init method of server-name in /etc/init is broken and the init.d (old sysV init) works
[12:46] <iptable> damian-, in google type in "time in UK"
[12:46] <damian-> 1:45pm .. 9hrs behind me. ok, so if i math that up, it means that i'm usually around here (at least) 9:00am-1:00pm your time
[12:46] <damian-> that will work out well
[12:46] <iptable> damian-, cool. just ping me next week and I can give you a crash course
[12:46] <damian-> thanks dude, i really need to secure one of my internet facing machines, hahaha
[12:47] <damian-> what do you do for wrok
[12:47] <iptable> MotherMGA, in /etc/pulse there is system.pa which contains the load-module definitions. you can add it there on the bottom of the definitions
[12:48] <iptable> damian-, I secure linux installs and network (firewalls, DPI etc)
[12:48] <iptable> damian-, hence the nickname
[12:49] <pngl> iptable: thanks a lot, it works now
[12:49] <iptable> pngl, no probs
[12:49] <damian-> that's a pretty cool job, do you like it (or love it)
[12:50] <iptable> damian-, I did for the first few years. now I am just a bored grumpy architect :P
[12:50]  * iptable goes for a break. need to return some stuff to amazon
[12:50] <MotherMGA> iptable: yeah, I found that file and it has a `.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover` and loads it.  I tried always loading it. it appears that the condition is passing, the module is loading, but for whatever reason, its "not loaded" by the time I get to the desktop.
[12:51] <iptable> MotherMGA, put it at the very bottom maybe. could be module load order
[12:51] <benzhninja> is the featured option worth it on gumtree
[12:51] <iptable> MotherMGA, alternatively, apt-get install --reinstall *might* help.
[12:51] <iptable> benzhninja, yes, ok, why not. now stop spamming
[12:51] <MotherMGA> iptable: ok. I'll try it.  any suggestion on defaulting the audio profile to a2dp?
[12:52] <damian-> welllllll just don't do a Life as a House gig on them (getting fired, destroying all of your work, storming out, getting cancer etc.)
[12:52] <MotherMGA> currently, it connects with no audio profile
[12:52] <iptable> MotherMGA, no, I wouldn't know. A workaround if required (also for bluetooth) could be to create a script wiuth the 2 commands and put it to start on login in the GUI.
[12:53] <damian-> wait, do you just get paid for irc'ng all day and sometimes securing linux systems? :P
[12:53] <MotherMGA> iptable: thanks.
[12:53] <iptable> damian-, no, I'm stable. Got 2 kids to keep me entertained.
[12:53] <iptable> MotherMGA, no probs.
[12:54] <iptable> MotherMGA, also might be worth starting from 14.04.1 liveCD and checking if the problem exists there. if so, then 14.04 doesn't like your sound card and you need a workaround, if not, then it's a fixable issue on the current install.
[12:54]  * iptable REALLY GOES NOW!
[12:55] <damian-> kevin kline had a kid in Life as a House
[13:09] <mdev> does ubuntu lts 14.0.4 use /etc/init.d or upstart
[13:11] <thegoat_> it's friday :-D
[13:14] <Chaos_Zero> how can I disable an init.d statrtup process without uninstalling the program?
[13:14] <benzhninja> you dont
[13:14] <Chaos_Zero> for example it would not start on startui but I could still manually start it?
[13:15] <Chaos_Zero> this is linux, there is no "you dont"
[13:15] <Chaos_Zero> I guess I could nove / rename the file, or remove some references somewhere, but I was looking for a more elegant way
[13:16] <pbx> from the lock screen, is there a way to select a different user account to log into -- using the keyboard?
[13:16] <Glorfindel> How do I get thunderbird to decrypt PGP encrypted emails?
[13:21] <camaro> Is it possible and, if so, how do I change the speed of the mouse in 12.04?
[13:22] <Glorfindel> Under mouse and touchpad?
[13:22] <camaro> Where is that?

[13:36] <bsdbandi1> im coding up my %post script in kickstart my question is i have some tar files that i need to unzip during kickstart is that possible
[13:36] <lvh> Hello. I am using Travis CI, which uses Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I'm using some software that uses libsodium, which is not avaiable in the default package archives. There's a ppa, ppa:shnatsel/dnscrypt, which I tried to use. I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shnatsel/dnscrypt -y, sudo apt-get update -qq, but sudo apt-get install -y libsodium fails: E: Unable to locate package libsodium.
[13:37] <eeee> camaro: i found something but it doesn't seem to be working
[13:37] <lvh> You can see the full build output here: https://travis-ci.org/lvh/caesium/jobs/33898952
[13:37] <camaro> eeee: okay, thanks anyway
[13:37] <camaro> eeee: i will look in software center, maybe there is an app (prog?)
[13:38] <Vibrance> I'm trying to download all images from a few websites but some of them unexpectedly finish after the first file, command is 'wget -A jpg,png -m -p -E -k -K -e robots=off http://websitehere.com'  An example output is here: http://pastebin.com/pwNbt3Zn       --- Any ideas why this is failing?
[13:41] <Pici> lvh: If you look under built packages on that ppa, it says that the binary package name is libsodium4 ( https://launchpad.net/~shnatsel/+archive/ubuntu/dnscrypt/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise )
[13:41] <lvh> Whoops. I seem to have disconnected.
[13:41] <lvh> Pici: ah
[13:42] <lvh> Pici: I was looking at "Overview of published packages" which just says libsodium
[13:42] <lvh> what does that mean?
[13:42] <Pici> lvh: apt-get install libsodium4 is probably what you want.
[13:43] <lvh> Pici: sure; I'm just trying to figure out what "Overview of published packages" refers to :)
[13:43] <cfhowlett> !info libsodium4
[13:43] <lvh> Pici: I actually probably need the dev headers too, but only one way to find out :)
[13:43] <lvh> thanks :)
[13:44] <lvh> cfhowlett: It's only in a ppa
[13:44] <cfhowlett> lvh, got it
[13:44] <lvh> cfhowlett: If you're wondering what libsodium is: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium
[13:44] <Pici> lvh: "Overview of published packages" It just refers to the source package name, which happens to be just libsodium.
[13:44] <lvh> Pici: aha
[13:45] <JuJuBee> I want to change display manager but when I sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, I do not get a gui menu to switch.  I have kubuntu-desktop and xubutu-desktop along with default installed
[13:46] <moparisthebest> JuJuBee: lightdm is the default for all of them already now
[13:46] <moparisthebest> at least with 14.04 trusty
[13:46] <basedaf> howdy all
[13:47] <JuJuBee> moparisthebest: Thanks I did not know that

[13:56] <JuJuBee> Trying to do clean install and after I select "Try Ubuntu" wheel spins for about 3 minutes and screen goes black (not inactive) and never get GUI/Desktop
[13:58] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | JuJuBee, did you    1. verify the ISO          2. verify the USB  ?
[13:59] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: Already used this USB to install on my laptop just fine.  Can I use nomodeset with 14.04?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, so ... you did NOT verify the essential souce .iso or the usb made from the iso?  we're assuming they're both valid even though .iso's get scrambled on a daily basis?  and verification takes about as much time as it took to type this response?
[14:04] <MortezaE> Hi, It's silly, but i see no option to change unity desktop wallpaper...
[14:04] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: I did verify before burning to USB
[14:05] <hualet_deepin> MortezaE: right click on the desktop
[14:05] <basedaf> MortezaE: do you mean the actual desktop? or the unity dash/lens?
[14:05] <basedaf> ^^
[14:05] <basedaf> what he said ;]
[14:05] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, and did you verify the uSB???  also a common source of problems?  if that also checks, then !nomodeset might be the wisest next move.
[14:06] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: Wonder if it has to do with onboard video vs video card
[14:06] <MortezaE> hualet_deepin, it will not be right clicked :)
[14:06] <bollullera> hello
[14:06] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: did not verify usb
[14:06] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, could be ... nomodeset
[14:06] <MortezaE> basedaf, the original ubuntu desktop
[14:06] <cfhowlett> bollullera, ask your ubuntu questions
[14:06] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: where do I set nomodest with 14.04 during boot?
[14:07] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset | JuJuBee
[14:07] <MortezaE> Is it strange that my ubuntu desktop won't get right click?!
[14:09] <hualet_deepin> MortezaE: your desktop is dead? have you tried restart?
[14:10] <MortezaE> no hualet_deepin, i will do. but i think it is probably a conflict between unity and gnome, isnt it?
[14:11] <evil_dan2wik> MortezaE, un-install both
[14:11] <MortezaE> evil_dan2wik, is it a devil order?

[14:51] <dbugger> Hey guys. I am trying to share a folder through my network between 2 Ubuntus, but when I try to connect from my laptop, I get a "Failed to mount Windows Share: Permission denied". What did I do wrong?
[14:51] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | JuJuBee,
[14:51] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, instructions are in the wiki.  USB's do degrade and / or break.
[14:54] <evil_dan2wik> How do I add a group to read write and execute a folder?
[14:57] <coco> ?
[14:59] <JuJuBee> cfhowlett: are the md5's on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for 14.04.1 ?
[14:59] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, no they haven't updated that yet.  wait

[15:01] <rtd1123> I am attempting to make a connection from my ubuntu server to a separate server with an MSSQL database and can't complete the process. Any good starting points that you know of?
[15:04] <JuJuBee> rtd1123: make sure the remote server accepts connections from the first in your mysql db
[15:04] <JuJuBee> rtd1123: typically user are allowed to connect from localhost only
[15:05] <rtd1123> It's not using mysql, it's Microsoft SQL Server
[15:06] <JuJuBee> sorry, typo  Make sure the user connecting is allowed to connect from remote locations.
[15:06] <rtd1123> Do you have any knowledge of where I would configure that?
[15:07] <rtd1123> I am a LAMP guy and don't utilize Windows hardly ever
[15:07] <grobe0ba> active directory
[15:07] <grobe0ba> or, if you're not using it, in the mssql control stuff
[15:07] <grobe0ba> using it's built in user facility
[15:07] <JuJuBee> rtd1123: sorry, I don;t use mssql

[15:16] <SuperLag> In the menu bar, I have a red icon with a white line through it. When I click on it, it says "A problem occurred when checking for the updates." I'm trying to figure out which process/application this is, but no tooltip pops up when I simply hover over the icon. How else can I figure it out?
[15:16] <frezix> Flannel: it seems that these 3 are the only options - http://imgur.com/mrObbpD - and the Erase option does not put that partition into unallocated space
[15:17] <frezix> Flannel: I've noticed that after waiting 45+ minutes for that 3GB home lvm group to erase :p
[15:19] <frezix> to reiterate my question: I'm doing a netinstall and I'm now at this stage - http://imgur.com/ba9qcCc - how do I remove that partitioning scheme and start fresh?
[15:19] <Sonicmachine> The nouveau driver on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is giving problems on startup. I want to delete and install official Nvidia drivers. Anyone her can help me with it?
[15:20] <popey> frezix: just go down to undo?
[15:20] <popey> frezix: or choose "go back"
[15:23] <guest-5UlxRX> hello if I login it just goes back to the login screen
[15:24] <evil_dan2wik> guest-5UlxRX, re-install
[15:25] <guest-5UlxRX> no other solution?
[15:25] <loa> what is good tool for making usb under ubuntu? i have iso of ubuntu-desktop and want to make bootable usb flash. Let's make this fast or i will start using dd on this pure flash!!!
[15:25] <SuperLag> loa: unetbootin
[15:25] <loa> guest-5UlxRX, try to create another user.
[15:26] <loa> SuperLag, last time i checked it, it was terrible.
[15:26] <frezix> popey: it appears that the "Undo changes to partitions" option does not do anything noticeable. Going back means going back to this - http://imgur.com/tNiCFrU
[15:26] <popey> frezix: which lets you go back into partition disks, which should be ready for you to re-partition?
[15:28] <popey> loa: dd or ddrescue work, ddrescue is nicer.. sudo ddrescue -d -D --force foo.iso /dev/sdX
[15:28] <loa> popey, why it is nicer?
[15:28] <frezix> when I go to "Partition disks" option, I get this menu again - http://imgur.com/ba9qcCc

[15:29] <Sonicmachine> I need help in running my ubuntu crash free, caused by the nouveau driver.
[15:29] <evil_dan2wik> sudo apt-get install problems
[15:30] <popey> loa: I know, right ‽
[15:30] <loa> popey, what you know, lol.
[15:31] <loa> popey, why package for ddrescue called gddrescue?
[15:32] <loa> maybe becouse of this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.08.29-19%3A32%3A16.png
[15:32] <popey> loa: because GNU
[15:32] <loa> yeah, i got that.
[15:34] <frezix> when I went into the "Configure encrypted volumes" option, this is what I got - http://imgur.com/01GCq8Q - which pretty much explains much of what I'm facing. I'm now wondering how I can still remove those partitions (I do know the passphrase)
[15:35] <loa> popey, lol, --force. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.08.29-19%3A35%3A01.png I swear, i will use force on this pure flash.
[15:36] <popey> loa: ☻
[15:37] <SuperLag> loa: *shrug* it works for me, just fine. I've never had issues with it.
[15:37] <SuperLag> In the menu bar, I have a red icon with a white line through it. When I click on it, it says "A problem occurred when checking for the updates."

[15:38] <loa> SuperLag, maybe you need to click on it.
[15:38] <loa> that's how we solve all problems in mother Russia.

[15:41] <ikonia> why not use the ubuntu package
[15:41] <ikonia> why are you building from source ?
[15:42] <thecpaptain_> you mean there is a package in the software center?
[15:42] <ikonia> correct
[15:42] <thecpaptain_> hehe cool. Sure i'll gladly check it out :)
[15:43] <xxx1337> is monday a holiday?
[15:43] <xxx1337> i think i have the day off?
[15:43] <ikonia> nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:43] <SIGKILLer> So, opinions: ranger of vifm?
[15:43] <JuJuBee> how long does it take to use dd ... | md5sum on a 4G flash drive?
[15:43] <thecpaptain_> in the software center it says now that it is installed.
[15:43] <xxx1337> need to know what today's date is so i can set up my ubuntu date and time. Just want to make sure monday is a holiday or not lol
[15:44] <TJ-> JuJuBee: tell is when its finished! It depends on the speed of the device
[15:44] <ikonia> JuJuBee: there is no set time
[15:44] <loa> JuJuBee, why not just md5sum /dev/sdb
[15:44] <JuJuBee> Been running for 20+ minutes already ?  That normal?
[15:44] <ikonia> why would you md5sum a device ?
[15:44] <ikonia> JuJuBee: there is no set time
[15:44] <JuJuBee> loa: md5 of entire flash not match iso
[15:45] <TJ-> JuJuBee: send the 'dd' process a SIGUSR1 and it'll tell you how far it has got
[15:45] <JuJuBee> TJ-: don't want to stop it now and restart ... as long as it is working
[15:45] <loa> JuJuBee, and?
[15:45] <TJ-> JuJuBee: in another terminal "pgrep -USR1 dd"
[15:46] <loa> JuJuBee, maybe you need larger blocksize?
[15:46] <arazeez> my display brightness is not in control please help
[15:46] <TJ-> JuJuBee: you'll probably need to use "sudo" in front of that command, since I assume the 'dd' process is runing as root
[15:46] <JuJuBee> TJ-: what is 4855?  MB or KB or ?
[15:47] <TJ-> JuJuBee: without context I have no idea what you refer to
[15:47] <sssasas> o chuj
[15:47] <JuJuBee> TJ-: I used your suggested command in another terminal
[15:48] <loa> i started command with time
[15:48] <loa> but i run just md5sum /dev/sdb
[15:48] <TJ-> JuJuBee: OK, that'll be the process ID of the 'dd' process. Check the terminal with 'dd' running and it should have reported how far it has got
[15:48] <loa> I have such result https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.08.29-19%3A48%3A42.png
[15:49] <loa> it is usb 2.0 and very bad flash
[15:49] <TJ-> JuJuBee: unless you gave 'dd' a "bs=..." argument, the default block-size is 512 bytes. It's usually better to use a larger block-size to take advantage of multi-block DMA transfers, e.g. "dd bs=1M ..." for 1 Megabyte
[15:50] <JuJuBee> TJ-: Is it worth restarting the process using 1M?  I used bs=1
[15:51] <TJ-> JuJuBee: Yes! with "bs=1" that's 1 byte at a time
[15:51] <JuJuBee> TJ-: I get nothing in the term the dd process is running
[15:51] <loa> lol
[15:51] <TJ-> JuJuBee: that's strange, it only usually delays printing the info when using a *very* large block-size
[15:52] <t3flon> hey all I suspect that there might be malware of some kind in my ubuntu installation, I want to compare the hash values of all the system files from a clean install to those on my system, what might be the best way to go about doing that?
[15:53] <eeee> t3flon: why do u suspect malware?
[15:54] <loa> how i can sandbox some applications in my ubuntu installation?
[15:54] <loa> for example skype?
[15:54] <TJ-> JuJuBee: ahhhh, 'pgrep' doesn't send the signal, it should have been "pkill -USR1 dd"
[15:55] <TJ-> loa: run them as a different user? run them in an LXC? run them in a chroot?
[15:55] <JuJuBee> TJ-: won't that kill the processes?
[15:55] <t3flon> eeee: paranoia I guess, just want to check and see what's going on
[15:55] <eeee> t3flon: you could load a vm and do a find / * -exec md5sum {} >> files \;
[15:55] <loa> TJ-, i thought there is something official
[15:56] <eeee> then do the same on your system
[15:56] <TJ-> JuJuBee: despite the scary name, no. It sends the named signal to the process. "USR1" for dd is a "how far have you got?" signal
[15:56] <JuJuBee> TJ-: and should sr1 be root?
[15:56] <t3flon> eeee: so load a vm of a clean install and execute the above?
[15:57] <eeee> t3flon: you'd have to update it first i guess
[15:57] <JuJuBee> TJ-: finished already so no need.  They match
[15:57] <TJ-> JuJuBee: "sudo pkill -USR1 dd" will be correct. ("-USR1" is the signal name to send to the process)
[15:57] <TJ-> JuJuBee: Well, at least you've learned about dd and signals :)
[15:57] <eeee> it would give you a list of all files and their md5sums
[15:57] <JuJuBee> Yes, thanks TJ-
[15:57] <t3flon> eeee: makes sense..
[15:58] <cym> hello everybody
[15:58] <loa> JuJuBee, how about this? sudo ddrescue /dev/sdb /tmp/check_this && md5sum /tmp/check_this
[15:59] <loa> but there step i think and data can be corrupted...
[15:59] <loa> but you can see what is going on
[15:59] <TJ-> loa: That'd copy first; all that is needed is "sudo ddrescue /dev/sdb | md5sum"
[16:00] <loa> yes i understand
[16:01] <loa> TJ-, no its want out location too
[16:01] <loa> i tried...
[16:01] <eeee> t3flon: if you want to make it way easier (you'd have to get funky with comm and diff and sed to spot any malware) , to make it easier you could just get a list of all installed packages in your system, and have it installed on the vm, and then get the list
[16:01] <eeee> t3flon: in the find on your installation you'd have to exclude your home directory
[16:01] <cym> need some help on the disappeared sidebar and top-menus topic... tried different options (lightdem restart, reset -f /org/compiz/ ...). Im on a 14.04 and fresh this-morning-update
[16:02] <t3flon> eeee: update the virtual machine?
[16:02] <eeee> t3flon: should i go on ? or ... ?
[16:02] <eeee> t3flon: dpkg --get-selections > installedpackages   (do that on your installation)
[16:03] <eeee> t3flon: that gives you a list of all installed packages
[16:03] <t3flon> eeee: I was also thinking of using ls -lR and comparing size of all executables..
[16:03] <eeee> well you could easily spot any added execs
[16:03] <eeee> if you do a diff on the files
[16:05] <eeee> ah, you mean the execs of already installed packages, yeah you'd have the md5sum of yours and the vm ones
[16:05] <eeee> md5sum -c checks everything
[16:05] <loa> t3flon, main problem configs and rights.
[16:06] <loa> after that maybe executables.
[16:06] <loa> if system compromised better to install it again.
[16:07] <jxshxx> After running 10.04 on older machines for a long time, I found 12.04 relatively sluggish by comparison, even using Gnome Classic.  How
[16:07] <jxshxx> does 14.04 compare?
[16:08] <t3flon> eeee: thanks, probably will have more q's in a bit
[16:08] <t3flon> loa: same, thank you
[16:09] <ornj> Does Ubuntu have an SSH server enabled by default?
[16:09] <loa> ornj, no.
[16:10] <eeee> jxshxx: i find 14.04 to be quicker
[16:10] <xangua> jxshxx: if by older you mean low resources you can better try xubuntu or lubuntu
[16:10] <ornj> Like... my machine froze, Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't work. So is there a way to get into my machine over the local network to kill whatever?
[16:10] <cym> ornj: I think you have to sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[16:10] <ornj> Hm.  :-/
[16:11] <jxshxx> eeee: Do you also use the Gnome classic?
[16:11] <eeee> ornj: do you have physical access to it
[16:11] <eeee> ?
[16:11] <ornj> Had I the foresight
[16:11] <eeee> jxshxx: no i use unity
[16:11] <ornj> eeee>> Yes
[16:11] <eeee> jxshxx: but i mean if you put 12.04 and 14.04 in a vm 14.04 will load quicker
[16:11] <eeee> that's a fair comparison
[16:11] <jxshxx> xangua: I do that on other macines, but I have one in particular I'd rather upgrade than change
[16:12] <SuperLag> Okay. I committed a cardinal Ubuntu sin. I attempted to compile Python from source. I broke stuff in the process. Is my only recourse to reinstall? or by reinstalling only the broken stuff, will that cover a multitude of sins? :)
[16:12] <SuperLag> update-notifier is broken
[16:12] <ornj> The mouse is responsive but nothing else
[16:12] <eeee> ornj: you can try the reisub thing
[16:13] <ornj> :)
[16:13] <eeee> sometimes it isn't enabled
[16:13] <xangua> !itdoesntwork | SuperLag
[16:13] <eeee> it'll safely restart the pc i think
[16:13] <ornj> What's the reisub thing?
[16:13] <eeee> !reisub
[16:13]  * ornj googles
[16:13] <ornj> Oh, right
[16:13] <eeee> ornj: ^^^
[16:13] <xangua> Mmmm miss the factoids :-\
[16:14] <ornj> Yeah, but then I'd still lose everything in RAM
[16:14] <eeee> xangua: i think you want !details
[16:15] <ornj> which is what I'm trying to avoid by just killing the one program
[16:16] <eeee> ornj: im checking the wiki, maybe some other key will help
[16:17] <rootbear> hey all
[16:17] <eeee> i think most are disabled though
[16:17] <ornj> Hey, eeee
[16:17] <bhagoti> hi, can anyone help me understanding about flex/bison ?
[16:17] <ornj> you're awesome
[16:18] <SuperLag> xangua: What are you trying to say to me?
[16:19] <xangua> ! Broken | SuperLag
[16:21] <ornj> Mostly it's the stuff in gedit I'm worried about, but I can't remember if I enabled the backup unsaved docs thing
[16:21] <dfosco> I am having trouble setting up external monitors with my laptop in Ubuntu 14 LTS.  The monitors show up in the Display manager, and are set to on, but the physical monitors do not show anything.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[16:21] <misutowolf> Why would my Ubuntu Server VM (14.04 LTS x64) refuse to run apt-get update?
[16:21] <TJ-> loa: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 status=none | md5sum" => "2a78cf88b8d43031224bb9a56286464d  -"
[16:22] <Sven_vB> misutowolf, usually, it should tell you. copy it's output to pastie or ghostbin and show us.
[16:22] <xangua> misutowolf: you could start by showing us the command output
[16:22] <compdoc> misutowolf, is there a message?
[16:22] <misutowolf> Sec.
[16:22] <SuperLag> xangua: I can no longer open "Software & Updates" from System Settings. When I would click on the icon for update-notifier it would give me an error message saying "A problem occurred when checking for updates."
[16:22] <rootbear> so i am now running a old windows 95 pc i restored from "dead" i came in for suggestions on the lightest weight GUI based os to install? no USB and a standard CD-rom (oldshool!!) any help?
[16:23] <rootbear> sorry, on boot it apperars to be win98
[16:23] <misutowolf> http://pastebin.com/RfMbay7Z
[16:23] <misutowolf> That's the error it throws
[16:24] <misutowolf> I'm on school wifi, bridged connection to my laptop's wifi
[16:24] <SuperLag> xangua: I attempted to compile Python 3.4.1 from source, and replaced the system python with it. I figured I'd try removing update-notifier and reinstalling it, but it depends on other metapackages. I tried to reinstall all of them, including all the system python{2.7,3,3.4} packages. No dice. Broken, still.
[16:24] <abc_harold> rootbear: any idea of the specs? if it's that old it may be worth using Puppy Linux over a lightweight Ubuntu distro.
[16:24] <ornj> Maybe I should ask the question a different way: Everything on my machine is unresponsive except moving the pointer. I can't get to a console. Is there any way to save my unsaved gedit docs?
[16:25] <xangua> rootbear: lubuntu fits on a CD and requires minimum around 96 and 128 RAM
[16:25] <ornj> rootbear>> Check out SliTaz.
[16:25] <Sven_vB> ornj, do you have network access?
[16:25] <rootbear> not sure what ram it has, keyboarding into menues in 98 feels smooth, so it cant be total crap by 1998 standards
[16:26] <Sven_vB> ornj, last measure would be to dump the RAM by wires. :D
[16:26] <ornj> Sven_vB>> What do you mean? I'm on IRC now, and the machine was on the 'Net/wifi
[16:26] <misutowolf> My laptop just...hates me.
[16:26] <rootbear> 48mb ram.... assuming its running 52mb and some is stored for use?
[16:26] <Sven_vB> ornj, can you login to the unresponsive machine via network?
[16:27] <rootbear> 32 bit file system (duhh)
[16:27] <ornj> Sven>> That sounds 133t, I have no idea how to do that, but I'd try it if I thought I could. ;)
[16:27] <ornj> Sven_vB>> Well, that's what I came in here to ask but apparently ssh isn't enabled by default?
[16:28] <misutowolf> I bet it's related to the school wifi stuff.  Though that's silly.
[16:28] <dfosco> I am having trouble setting up external monitors with my laptop in Ubuntu 14 LTS.  The monitors show up in the Display manager, and are set to on, but the physical monitors do not show anything.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[16:28] <Sven_vB> ornj, doesn't matter what the default is. does it greet you upon TCP connection to the SSH port?
[16:29] <LostNva> rootbear, I think it should have 64mb of ram, I think dsl damn small linux will run on that, but not much of an os to start with.
[16:29] <misutowolf> I wonder if it'll behave if I drop bridged for NAT
[16:29] <ornj> How do I find its IP address to SSH to?
[16:29] <ornj> I'll need to d/l an Android ssh client
[16:30] <rootbear> the ram cant be right, it has 4 chips in it, and i dont recall them ever making 10mb chuosm unless i have failing RAM
[16:30] <misutowolf> Oh.
[16:30] <rootbear> *chips
[16:30] <TJ-> ornj: The machine doesn't respond to Ctrl+Alt+F1 to reach a VT?
[16:30] <rootbear> cant find anything on the CPU
[16:30] <misutowolf> So apparently my school network doesn't like Ubuntu being bridged to my windows connection
[16:30] <misutowolf> I switched it over to NAT in vbox and it's fine
[16:30] <LostNva> rootbear, chips should be 4 16mb making 64
[16:30] <misutowolf> GG network security
[16:30] <ornj> The weird thing is the mouse is totally responsive in real time, no lag, but NOTHING else, no Ctl-Alt-F2
[16:31] <rootbear> system data states 40mb lol
[16:31] <ornj> Sven_vB>> No.
[16:31] <abc_harold> dfosco: have you made sure to turn off mirror displays if you want extended desktop? it may be trying to force resolutions that your monitors can't support.
[16:31] <TJ-> rootbear: something based around Enlightenment would probably be what you need
[16:31] <rootbear> and i cant find anything more within windown GUI from keyboard and cant recall if there is a way to look it up using command line in a windows machine
[16:31] <TJ-> rootbear: It is used a lot in embedded and resource-constrained devices
[16:32] <rootbear> i am looking into DSL (damnSmallLinux
[16:32] <Sven_vB> ornj, any ideas what could have lead to it? might it be graphics card heat?
[16:33] <TJ-> rootbear: try running "msinfo32"
[16:33] <dfosco> abc_harold, I don't want to mirror displays do it is set to off, I have tried it with mirror displays and that also doesn't work.
[16:33] <LostNva> rootbear, DSL is around a 52mb operating system.
[16:33] <dfosco> so*
[16:33] <rootbear> TJ that helped for sure.
[16:33] <Sven_vB> ornj, btw, can you still toggle the keyboard LEDs?
[16:34] <bhagoti> hey is there anyone who can help me with flex and bison ?
[16:34] <ornj> Wow... I don't think so... Then why would the mouse still move?
[16:34] <TJ-> dfosco: Can you "lspci -nnk | pastebinit" ?
[16:34] <rootbear> AuthenticAMD AMD-K6 #D proccessor48MB of ram
[16:34] <ornj> I think some crappy AJAX site just froze it.
[16:34] <Sven_vB> ornj, different subsystems. if it's an USB keyboard, maybe just USB broke
[16:35] <Sven_vB> ornj, using firefox?
[16:35] <dfosco> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8180075/
[16:35] <ornj> Sven_vB> No LEDs on this kbd  :-/
[16:35] <ornj> Yep
[16:35] <TJ-> ornj: Interrupts must still be working if mouse responds, so kernel is OK. You could kill everything on VT7 (the X server) with Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+K"
[16:36] <ornj> Sven_vB>> Yes, Firefox
[16:36] <ornj> But I don't wanna lose my gedit  :(
[16:36] <TJ-> dfosco: So, the GPU is "Radeon HD 7640G"? Can you show us "xrandr -q | pastebinit" ?
[16:36] <rootbear> LostNva: you mean it needs 53MB of ram? or the OS taked 52MB of disk space?
[16:36] <ornj> which is why I haven't just restarted
[16:36] <eeee> ornj: what about the ~ files ?
[16:36] <Sven_vB> ornj, if you can reach the Ajax site's tab's close button, click it every 5-10 minutes and give firefox an hour to do that. if you have clicked anything else in firefox since the lockup, it might take longer. ;)
[16:36] <TJ-> ornj: Can you get to an alternate VT? If so, kill the Firefix process
[16:37] <dfosco> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8180090/
[16:37] <eeee> ornj: hold on, i think gedit autosaves stuff every once in a while to ~ files
[16:37] <LostNva> rootbear, no thats the size of the OS, might run on 32mb ram and up if im remember correctly.
[16:37] <Sven_vB> ornj, try not to touch the site's content area as it might fire more ajax events
[16:37] <Gloomy> Hello, ctrl-alt-F1 has absolutely no effect on my linux mint KDE... Any Idea what mught cause this? (already posted on the mint channel but as ubuntu should be more or less identical I also try it here...)
[16:37] <TJ-> dfosco: OK, and now "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[16:37] <Sven_vB> ornj, while waiting, get a USB keyboard with LEDs and try if you can make it work ;)
[16:37] <LostNva> rootbear, bear in mind getting it online and stuff might be hard with hardware that old, but possible
[16:38] <ornj> TJ->> No, that was my first course of action, and why I came here, to try + remotely do it or something
[16:38] <eeee> ornj: nevermind the autosave isn't checked by default
[16:38] <dfosco> TJ-, thank you http://paste.ubuntu.com/8180099/
[16:38] <ornj> eeee>> I know  :-/
[16:38] <ornj> and I can't remember if I enabled it
[16:39] <TJ-> ornj: Hmmm, without openssh-server installed and running you can't really do much else immediately, unless the PC has a serial port *and* you've got agetty running on it so you could log-in
[16:39] <rootbear> this sucker had a modem in it, thats it. its got one PCI slot, and its free. but even swapping in my wireless card from my current linux machine would only give it just that (assuming anything)
[16:39] <Sven_vB> ornj, you probably have a memory issue atm. before i had nice-d my firefox, bad sites often made kernel OOM run crazy, trying to kill init again and again but init didn't want to die by OOM
[16:39] <Sven_vB> ornj, so when you re-gain access, nice-ify your firefox.
[16:39] <rootbear> having trouble finding a proper mirror for DSL right now as well...
[16:40] <LostNva> rootbear, remember its going to be usb 1.0 if it has usb
[16:40] <rootbear> not a single usb port on here.
[16:40] <ornj> ¿Cómo se hace eso?
[16:40] <TJ-> dfosco: I can't imagine seeing a more perfect set of logs, so the issue doesn't appear to be on the software side. I'd investigate the GPU <> monitor connections, especially if going through protocol converters (DP > HDMI, DVI >HDMI)
[16:40] <ornj> I guess I'll just google
[16:40] <abc_harold> rootbear: here's a DSL mirror http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/
[16:40] <LostNva> rootbear, sounds like the kind of prodject I like to fool with lol, a challenge.
[16:41] <dfosco> TJ-, okay thank you
[16:41] <ornj> Sven_vB>> nice-d, you say?
[16:41] <rootbear> SCSI and 1 PCI slot internally, and outside of the VGA output (suprised its functional) there is just serial ports.
[16:41] <Sven_vB> ornj, yes, my prefered way of limiting firefox's memory usage.
[16:41] <rootbear> oh, and PS/2 for keyboard and mouse, and i dont even own a PS/2 mouse. lol
[16:41] <TJ-> rootbear: Any old ISA ports?
[16:42] <MortezaE> Hi, Where to ask questions about Gnote ?
[16:42] <ornj> I love Firefox so much  :(
[16:42] <Sven_vB> ornj, it crashes more often now, but it can't take down the other programs
[16:42] <ornj> but it really is the cause of 99% of my crashes
[16:42] <ornj> Hm
[16:42] <rootbear> TJ none i see. about to take the casing off and look inside, its got a modular case, base is integrated to the structure, and all the other parts pop on and off VIA tabs..
[16:43] <rodrigorootrj> hello users, im have problem which virtual box
[16:43] <sameer> hi
[16:43] <ornj> Tough trade-off, since I often have work in open tabs, too
[16:43] <expunge> rodrigorootrj: you don't say
[16:43] <expunge> sameer: hi
[16:43] <Sven_vB> ornj, while you're at it, you could also lower firefox's priority
[16:43] <expunge> ornj: what is?
[16:43] <rodrigorootrj> im have problem wich VIRTUAL BOX
[16:43] <expunge> rodrigorootrj: ...pardon?
[16:43] <sameer> expunge...hi
[16:43] <rootbear> and LostNva exactly why i took the system, they were gonna toss it in the trash, i took it, its got a 12.5 GB harddrive
[16:43] <sameer> hi
[16:44] <abc_harold> rodrigorootrj: thats a bit vague
[16:44] <expunge> browsers eat up ram over time, you should restart them every now and then
[16:44] <cym> any help on disappearing menu and bars on unity (14.04) ? thanks !
[16:44] <Gloomy> Hello, ctrl-alt-F1 has absolutely no effect on my linux mint KDE... Any Idea what mught cause this? (already posted on the mint channel but as ubuntu should be more or less identical I also try it here...)
[16:44] <Sven_vB> ornj, run multiple firefoxes, each with a different profile, and all nice-d; then you can seperate the trusty sites wo work in open tabs, from the ones that just might crash it
[16:44] <sameer> i have problem in opening flash plugin
[16:44] <xangua> ! Mint | Gloomy
[16:44] <LostNva> rootbear, yeah I love a free computer, I have a crap load of old parts, just boredom work mostly.
[16:44] <expunge> sameer: what problem is that?
[16:44] <ornj> expunge>> Sven_vB said nice-d makes Firefox crash more often, but not affect other progs
[16:45] <Gloomy> xangua: ok ,ok, allright.
[16:45] <Sven_vB> it seems firefox can't see the memory limit that nice imposed on it
[16:45] <rootbear> yeah, same here, wife hates it, but i keep it (mostly) neat. side note, apoligies for launching into the ubuntu channel, i just realized im not in open #linux
[16:45] <ornj> Sven_vB>>  <3
[16:45] <expunge> I doubt nice applied to firefox would do as much
[16:45] <ornj> will try, thx
[16:45] <expunge> as say, nice applied to the flash/plugin container/s
[16:45] <Sven_vB> yw
[16:45] <expunge> and even then, probably won't do much
[16:46] <expunge> it's just bad software, it'll slow your computer down with any priority
[16:46] <sameer> when i use cromium web brouser it says flash plugin not there when i downloaded it it in rpm i dont know how to install it
[16:46] <Sven_vB> ornj, as for RAM dumping w/o wires, maybe today is when you learn to use coldboot :)
[16:46] <ornj> Well, I have Flash disabled
[16:46] <expunge> sameer: RPM is for other distros, mostly
[16:46] <expunge> sameer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#Installing_Pepper_Flash_for_Chromium
[16:46] <ornj> but 95% of the sites has rom
[16:46] <rootbear> abd_harold: i got into that achive, but how do i burn a proper ISO from that?
[16:46] <ornj> have tons of AJAX these days
[16:47] <expunge> 'Ajax'
[16:47] <expunge> you're talking about shifting bits of text, it's not intensive
[16:47] <Sven_vB> ornj, you do have NoScript and RequestPolicy in place, right?
[16:47] <ornj> I keep saying it, but I really just need to make xlinks2 my default browser.
[16:47] <expunge> heh
[16:47] <ornj> When they get CSS going it will be.
[16:48] <rootbear> so, i guess i need to move to a new channel, i am running Xchat, how do i channel hop?
[16:48] <ornj> ?
[16:48] <expunge> rootbear: /join #foo
[16:48] <ornj> Sven_vB>> No, I have no idea what that is.
[16:48] <expunge> ornj: hrmm?
[16:49] <rootbear> thanks everyone!
[16:49] <ornj> If it's not in Ubuntu Studio by default, no.
[16:49] <rootbear> gotta figure out how to launch an ISO and go from there.
[16:49] <Sven_vB> ornj, search engines will explain. i'll have to restart my IRC client, brb
[16:50] <eeee> Sven_vB: could this shortcut help Reset the nice level of all high-priority and real-time tasks
[16:50] <abc_harold> rootbear: http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso, in current folder there is isos
[16:50] <ornj> expunge>> No? Then why, with Flash off, do JavaScript sites always take up all my CPU or crash me?
[16:51] <Sven_vB> re
[16:52] <TJ-> ornj: AJAX != Javascript
[16:52] <Sven_vB> eeee, did i miss something? i don't think i'd like to reset the limits that i nice-d onto firefox, they're there to protect my other programs :)
[16:52] <expunge> ornj: you don't have much RAM, probably
[16:52] <ornj> Yes, but does the J not stan for JavaScript?
[16:53] <expunge> rootbear: and iso? For what?
[16:53] <ornj> No, I need more.  :-/
[16:53] <expunge> ornj: it does indeed
[16:53] <expunge> TJ- was being literal
[16:53] <rootbear> i need to make an install disc
[16:53] <expunge> rootbear: for what?
[16:53] <ornj> So... you can't have AJAX without JAavascript, right?
[16:54] <rootbear> for a very minimal linux system to be dropped into a VERY old machine
[16:54] <abc_harold> rootbear: http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso
[16:54] <ornj> rootbear>> Did you see my suggestion of SliTaz?  ;)
[16:55] <xangua> rootbear: maybe you should take this to ##linux as you said earlier
[16:55] <rootbear> ornj no i didnt.
[16:55] <expunge> rootbear: minimal and old are separate things
[16:55] <eeee> Sven_vB: sorry i meant this wiki keyboard shortcut "Reset the nice level of all high-priority and real-time tasks" if it would help ornj :)
[16:56] <expunge> even very old systems have WAY MORE storage than is required for any desktop OS of today
[16:56] <expunge> there is no reason you need DSL or any "tiny" distro
[16:56] <eeee> rootbear: try bodhi linux, it's based on ubuntu 12.04 and it's pretty minimal and uses enlightenment as a de
[16:56] <rootbear> 48 mb of ram and an unknown AMD proccessor running windows 98 with some decent flow
[16:56] <dfosco> TJ-, I swapped the laptop and changed the cables, still having the same issue, any ideas?
[16:56] <eeee> rootbear: you can use ubuntu repos too
[16:56] <expunge> rootbear: 48?
[16:56] <expunge> rootbear: you should recycle that toaster
[16:57] <LostNva> expunge, remember he has 64mb of ram at most, and probably 166ghz processor wont run just anything.
[16:57] <expunge> it'll cost you more in inefficient energy consumption than a new computer
[16:57] <expunge> LostNva: it's still irrelevant
[16:57] <rootbear> its not drive space i am worried about, i have other HDD i can drop into this, its the resources and power of this new toy are rather limited, and i dont want the OS taxing the whole machine
[16:57] <TJ-> dfosco: It's weird. What make/model, and also can you "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" ?
[16:58] <expunge> rootbear: they're separate concerns
[16:58] <TJ-> dfosco: hang-on - "swapped the laptop" ? you mean trying a different PC on the same monitors?
[16:58] <expunge> rootbear: you can take Ubuntu and run fvwm on it and it won't be any worse than win98
[16:58] <LostNva> expunge: it wont run Ubuntu of any kind.
[16:58] <rootbear> pehaps ill try installing ubuntu on it, but it only has a CD-rom, and ubuntu doesnt fit on a 700mb disc last time i knew
[16:59] <beast101> hiiii
[16:59] <ornj> LostNva>> Why do you say that?
[16:59] <rootbear> though for my reasons of even keeping this machine, i would like to stick to a minimalist system for now.
[16:59] <dfosco> TJ-, I swapped the hard drive with an identical laptop, we have a ton of these at work. It's an acer v3 551 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8180249/
[16:59] <LostNva> ornj, because it doent even come close to processor or ram requirements.
[16:59] <expunge> rootbear: minimalist desktop environment*
[16:59] <expunge> beast101: hi
[16:59] <TJ-> dfosco: Ahhh! Thought you meant the opposite :)
[17:00] <expunge> LostNva: sure it will, but that's also irrelevant
[17:00] <ornj> rootbear>> In that case just throw on the cli and build up a very light GUI...
[17:00] <rootbear> yeah, almost 99% sure ubuntu wont run on this, even if running a live disc was possible.
[17:00] <eeee> rootbear: why ?
[17:00] <dfosco> TJ-, I am going to try with catalyst driver, something I really didn't want to do
[17:00] <beast101> ubuntu sucks!
[17:00] <ornj> rootbear>> but, really, I highly recommend SliTaz; give it a shot.
[17:00] <rootbear> considered it. thought pulling an non GUI system might be fun.
[17:01] <abc_harold> rootbear: i'd either make the most of the windows 98 or install dsl
[17:01] <rootbear> never done it.
[17:01] <rootbear> i have no desire to keep this a windows machine, if i did i wouldnt be requestion suggestions/advice requests
[17:01] <ornj> LostNva>> No, not with Unity, but fwm should run ok
[17:02] <expunge> ornj: he's probably talking about pae or something, but that's irrelevant
[17:02] <LostNva> ornj: I hate to beat a dead horse, but unbuntu is out with 166 processor pentium 1.
[17:02] <ornj> pae?
[17:02] <expunge> ornj: doesn't matter
[17:02] <TJ-> dfosco: The only thing related there is "[drm:radeon_dp_link_train_ce] *ERROR* displayport link status failed" but the connectors are enumerated
[17:03] <Zelouille> Hello. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 64bits. Since the last HWE (Enablement Stack) update, my virtualbox is broken. The virtualbox kernel module failed to build : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1292118 . Related to the comments, two possible solutions are : 1-Using a PPA. or 2- Download and install virtualbox directly from Oracle website. But do you think it will be fixed directly in the Ubuntu repositories ?
[17:03] <ornj> LostNva>> Oh... Yeah, I guess that's true.
[17:03] <eeee> why does system monitor say i have 2.6GB of memory used, and free -m says i have 4400 used ?
[17:03] <ikonia> Zelouille: is the virtual box from the standard ubuntu repos
[17:04] <eeee> nevermind
[17:04] <rootbear> no, this os a 1995 built Emachine desktop with some minor enhancements
[17:04] <eeee> it's + cache i think?
[17:04] <Zelouille> ikonia: yes, packet "virtualbox" (not virtualbox-ose)
[17:04] <ikonia> Zelouille: thats terrible if the HWE breaks it
[17:04] <ikonia> Zelouille: what have you done to try to resolve this
[17:06] <rootbear> creating DSL image disc now. :)
[17:07] <abc_harold> rootbear: cool, hopefully you can make something from that machine :)
[17:07] <TJ-> Zelouille: I've added a Linux task to the bug report, so the HWE team can respond
[17:07] <Zelouille> ikonia: i've done nothing yet. I virtualize a live system without virtual harddrive, saving snapshot everytime while it's running. (I'm afraid to break it if i use a more recent version of virtualbox...). That's why i would hope the virtualbox in the repo will be fixed
[17:08] <rootbear> i will hang out in here if you all dont mind some slight offtopic chat, #linux is having a bit of a fit in general right now.
[17:08] <ikonia> Zelouille: if the module doesn't load, how are you running the virtual guest ?
[17:08] <ikonia> rootbear: we don't do offtopic chat here
[17:08] <Zelouille> TJ-: Thank you :)
[17:08] <ikonia> rootbear: the channel is for ubuntu support
[17:09] <rootbear> im not having a chatstorm, just staying in the channel
[17:09] <ikonia> rootbear: thats great, just keep in mind, no offtopic chat please.
[17:10] <Zelouille> ikonia: Sorry, i dont run it now. What i was trying to say is : I have a snapshot of a live system that i dont want to restart/reboot... I'm a bit afraid of upgrading virtualbox with another version if it break this snapshot (I actually dont now if it can happen)
[17:10] <rafa_> alguien que hable español por ahi
[17:10] <xangua> !es | rafa_
[17:10] <ikonia> Zelouille: you shouldn't have to upgrade anything, ubuntu should be supporting it's own packages within the HWE
[17:10] <c|oneman> when I wget a file that i've copied from a browser it's usually some garbage redirect that adds a bunch of crap to the filename (instead of a direct link). Does anyone know a workaround for this?
[17:10] <rootbear> ontopic.
[17:11] <rafa_> ubuntu-es
[17:11] <expunge> c|oneman: --content-disposition
[17:11] <rootbear> any idea why my system i am on right now will be running top notch, then hit a full up lag for 2 minutes, come to a near full hault, then dive right back into full speed finctionality?
[17:11] <Zelouille> ikonia: ok thank you. So I will wait the fix and dont download the newer version from Oracle website.
[17:12] <expunge> c|oneman: good argument to aliasing wget to wget --content-disposition
[17:12] <ikonia> Zelouille: you really shouldn't have to, I'm very surprised by your issue
[17:12] <rootbear> running 14.04.1LTS on a dell XPS with 4gb of DDR1
[17:12] <ikonia> rootbear: monitor the load on your machine
[17:12] <expunge> rootbear: low ram, low swap, both
[17:12] <expunge> oh 4gb, probably not
[17:13] <expunge> if it's only intel graphics, you might want to not use compiz
[17:13] <ikonia> expunge: could you be any more random ?
[17:13] <sakamop> DDR1?
[17:13] <sakamop> How old is this machine?
[17:13] <expunge> ikonia: pardon?
[17:13] <c|oneman> thanks
[17:13] <abc_harold> rootbear: it's probably swapping memory if you've got a lot open. otherwise, if it's at regular intervals it could be a cron job
[17:13] <ikonia> expunge: "if you have intel graphics don't use compiz" ???
[17:13] <ikonia> you have no idea what the issue is, yet your blindly telling him not to use compiz
[17:13] <Zelouille> ikonia: it seems that i'm not alone... I probably did nothing wrong.
[17:14] <expunge> ikonia: I said no such thing
[17:14] <ikonia> Zelouille: from what you've said it sounds like nothing wrong
[17:15] <rootbear> ive been keeping a system load monitor running, it happens at random intervals, RAM tops out, CPU doubles its load, and everything "freezes" then after a bit, it all kicks into action.
[17:15] <TJ-> Zelouille: ikonia: It's widespread; the DKMS virtualbox-dkms in Precise uses an older kernel structure, which has changed, but that hasn't been backported to the Precise VB package, so the DKMS module fails to build from source for newer kernels
[17:15] <ikonia> rootbear: ok, so now monitor processes to see which one is taking the resources
[17:16] <ikonia> TJ-: I've just found something similar, although this isn't how LTS is supposed to work - this is poor
[17:16] <Serraphyn> Hi I have an Apple Keyboard(104 key) that require me to pust Fn-F8 to make an F8 instead of my Play/Pause button, is there a way to swap this in 14.04?
[17:17] <TJ-> ikonia: VirtualBox is in 'Universe' - which isn't supported by Canonical, so it the MOTU maintainers aren't paying attention (the bug and the dupes have been around months) no one else will do
[17:18] <ikonia> TJ-: it's in universe, I hadn't noticed that
[17:18] <TJ-> ikonia: But I agree - for packages using DKMS whereever they are, they should be included in the QA regression testing for HWE
[17:18] <Tzunamii> Serraphyn: 2nd hit on Google...   https://superuser.com/questions/79822/how-to-swap-the-fn-use-of-function-keys-on-al-apple-keyboard-in-linux
[17:20] <rootbear> Ikonia: it wont specify, and i have monitored it happening with NOTHING loaded, and no proccesses open.
[17:20] <Serraphyn> Tzunamii: thanks, all my google brought up was 12.04 or earlier that didn't work for 14.04
[17:21] <TJ-> rootbear: sounds almost like something getting stuck whilst servicing an interrupt
[17:21] <rootbear> i am thinking its a background proccess getting hung up or something, but cant track it.
[17:21] <rootbear> TJ you thought it as i did :)
[17:22] <JDAIII> anyone got lync plugin for pidgin connecting on ubuntu 14.04
[17:22] <JDAIII> ?
[17:22] <TJ-> rootbear: that or something being driven into using a lot of swap space
[17:22] <luffy> hello, my bluetooth is not working help please
[17:23] <rootbear> TJ-: any ideas on how to look int all proccesses and track a hog like that?
[17:23] <ikonia> use top or sar
[17:23] <ikonia> find out what's taking the resources
[17:24] <C_Clear> Howdy
[17:24] <expunge> howd
[17:24] <TJ-> rootbear: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingIRQProblems for one way to begin bisecting it
[17:25] <Serraphyn> Tzunamii: can't do sudo echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/paramters/fnmode Permission denied
[17:25] <C_Clear> hi expunge. Hope the day goes well. Have you guys been answering any questions about upgrading/installing the new Dropbox 2.0 version recently ?
[17:25] <luffy> hello, my bluetooth is not working help please
[17:26] <Blenda> hi all, is there a way i can configure the Ubuntu screenshot tool to autosave incremental files (without prompt)? or what other tool would you recommend? thx
[17:26] <rootbear> Blenda: try using Kazam
[17:27] <rootbear> its my go to for screen shots as well as screen captures to video, i know you can superceed the promt for file names in there somewhere.
[17:27] <rootbear> i think it has them just dumped to a file, and you dig through at a later time
[17:27] <TJ-> Serraphyn: "echo 0 | sudo dd of=/sys/module/hid_apple/paramters/fnmode" - but i think "paramters" should be "parameters"
[17:28] <loa> TJ-, lol why not just use tee?
[17:28] <Blenda> rootbear, thanks, dling right now, plus it seems to solve another question i had about screen recorder :)
[17:29] <rootbear> gotta love opensource and freeware!
[17:29] <Blenda> sure
[17:29] <Blenda> i do
[17:29] <TJ-> loa: Why use tee? I already know what is being written to stdout :)
[17:30] <loa> TJ-, becouse i have more easy syntax?
[17:30] <loa> it have *
[17:30] <Serraphyn> TJ-: same error Permission denied
[17:30] <expunge> Blenda: you mean append a number if there's already one?
[17:30] <expunge> something like that?
[17:31] <TJ-> Serraphyn: maybe the node is read-only? Check it with "ls -l /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode"
[17:31] <Serraphyn> TJ-: I had to sudo on the dd
[17:31] <TJ-> Serraphyn: My command had sudo in, so I thought you'd used it
[17:32] <TJ-> Serraphyn: the reason the first command you tried, failed, was you ran "echo" with sudo but then piped its output to a process running as your regular user. Each side of the pipe is a separate process, so the first sudo isn't needed, but one is needed for 'dd'
[17:32] <Serraphyn> TJ-: it did? Serraphyn: "echo 0 | sudo dd of=/sys/module/hid_apple/paramters/fnmode" - but i think "paramters" should be "parameters"
[17:33] <Serraphyn> oh ffs it did
[17:33] <Serraphyn> >.<
[17:33] <TJ-> Serraphyn: :D
[17:33] <Serraphyn> need coffee
[17:33] <expunge> Serraphyn: don't think you need to use dd there...
[17:33] <Tzunamii> I love mankind
[17:33] <expunge> Tzunamii: =P
[17:34] <Blenda> expunge, yes
[17:34] <TJ-> expunge: 'dd' does the write of the value
[17:34] <C_Clear> so I'm having a problem updating Dropbox. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how I would go about it
[17:34] <Blenda> rootbear: i found some hotkeys, but not for printscreen? Plus what is the "super" key?
[17:35] <Tzunamii> "Super" = Windows key
[17:35] <pbx> C_Clear, say what you tried, what you expected, and what happened
[17:35] <expunge> if it's sudo nonsense, tee does seem more safe
[17:35] <Blenda> thx Tzunamii
[17:35] <Tzunamii> any time
[17:35] <keevitaja> hi, is there a tintin++ package for ubuntu?
[17:36] <Blenda> rootbear, found what is "super", but not the printscreen hotkey. Printscreen keyboard still launch default Ubuntu one
[17:36] <expunge> keevitaja: yes, in the universe repo; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding_the_Universe_and_Multiverse_Repositories
[17:36] <Pici> !info tintin++
[17:36] <TJ-> expunge: 'tee' is no safer than 'dd', if the process has "sudo" it can write anywhere
[17:37] <expunge> TJ-: what's the command to have tee zero your hard disk?
[17:37] <lmat> I have git 1.9 installed...apt-cache policy git; show http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty/main...
[17:38] <C_Clear> no problem, thanks pbx. Dropbox sends a message that the current version of Dropbox I am using is out of date and needs to be updated. whenever the message flashed on my desktop to upgrade and I tried to click on it it vanished. sI tried to do a simple delete the program and then
[17:38] <TJ-> expunge: "cat /dev/zero | tee /dev/sdz"
[17:38] <lmat> I thought ubuntu only has 1.7? oh..or ubuntu 14 has 1.9?
[17:39] <lmat> yeah, I think that's it.
[17:39] <expunge> TJ-: that seems quite harder to typo than using dd
[17:40] <ceibal> hola
[17:40] <ceibal> hola
[17:40] <TJ-> expunge: no different than "cat /dev/zero | dd of=/dev/sdz", or "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdz"
[17:41] <ceibal> q dicen
[17:41] <C_Clear> so I tried to delete the program and then  reinstall the new version from the Ubuntu software center. Only the version available there is still the out of date version. So then I triend to do a terminal line install of Dropbox from their website and still the same problem. Now  whenever ii try ot log oto drop box I get the message I am running a old version and to install the new one. But...
[17:41] <C_Clear> ...the link it sends me is to tthe 1.6 version nto he 2.0 version its requesting. Not quite sure what to do.
[17:41] <guntbert> !es | ceibal
[17:41] <Tzunamii> lmat: for future reference: sudo apt-cache show <package name>
[17:41] <ceibal> kkklkk
[17:43] <expunge> TJ-: uhuh =P
[17:44] <streulma> is it Bad? Running script at boot, says: dpkg-preconfigure unable to reopen stdin, no such file or directory
[17:44] <cfhowlett> Tzunamii, sudo not required to show packages  :)
[17:44] <Tzunamii> cfhowlett: I just got home from a major surgery and I'm on morphine, but thank you for the heads up
[17:45] <cfhowlett> Tzunamii, wait, your post-op recovery plan is ... ubuntu IRC?  You are hardcore!

[17:46] <Tzunamii> Thanks
[17:47] <OSaddict> Is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu without wiping all of the data in my /home/username directory?
[17:49] <cfhowlett> OSaddict, it is.  select the "something else" option
[17:49] <eeee> OSaddict: maybe if you delete everything except /home and reinstall  without formatting? rename it to /home.old first though, ask around if it would work
[17:49] <cfhowlett> !home | OSaddict,
[17:50] <rootbear> ubottu you creep me out.
[17:50] <OSaddict> lol
[17:50] <cfhowlett> OSaddict, make a /home as show above.  Do NOT format that partition.  manually partition ubuntu and set your /home as home.  Do NOT format it.  Install ubuntu over your pre-configured partitions
[17:51] <eeee> cfhowlett: if he uses the same username, is the installer intelliget enough not to overwrite ?
[17:51] <OSaddict> So, if I reinstall Ubuntu and don't choose to format the disk, it won't automatically delete all the files in the existing /home?
[17:51] <stack> hi, does ubuntu has something to lock or trace a stolen laptop?
[17:52] <cfhowlett> eeee, never done it to me.  of course, I set the same user names as are already in my /home.
[17:52] <Vanguard_> salut à tous.
[17:52] <cfhowlett> OSaddict, IF and only if /home is in a primary partition.  If it's in the ubuntu partition by default, I would say it'll be wiped.
[17:52] <cfhowlett> stack, not by default, but options are in the software center.
[17:53] <eeee> cfhowlett: that's what i meant, if he doesn't format, and renames the folder, would ubuntu just write it's files and not touch the files?
[17:54] <eeee> ( using the main ubuntu installation, not a seperate /home partition )
[17:54] <cfhowlett> eeee, exactly.  the OS filesystem would install and them make the sym links to his /home.
[17:55] <cfhowlett> !home | eeee, but making the /home is a bit more complicated than just renaming the folder.
[17:57] <eeee> cfhowlett: i mean, if he doesn't have a /home partition, if he just renames the folder and erases everything else, and then installs without formatting, would the installer touch the /home.old directory
[17:58] <littledeer> The help channels seem to be rather quiet at the moment. Would anyone be able to help me connect via wi-fi to the internet on a HP-Pavillion? I have Hardswitch enabled and I can't get it disabled. I've tried various rfkill commands but none seem to make a difference
[17:58] <JDAIII> anyone got lync plugin for pidgin connecting on ubuntu 14.04? last thing to get working befroe boss lets me migrate my laptop to linux full time
[17:58] <JDAIII> getting a read error and the debug is useless on it
[17:58] <cfhowlett> eeee, no need to delete the previous filesystem, it'll get overwritten at install.  in your scheme /home is still in the main OS filetree which is --- overwritten.  that's why I suggested moving it OUT of the file tree to it's own spot.
[18:04] <darkangel> http://ubuntucenter.besaba.com/
[18:04] <rootbear> ok. anyone know how to skip the prompt in a screenshot and just have it save the file to a folder with no prompt?
[18:04] <rootbear> or a program that allows this to happen?
[18:07] <Scunizi> I keep getting reminded that the Ubuntu One service will be shutting down on June 1 2014.. we're well past that.  How do I get rid of that message?
[18:07] <cfhowlett> rootbear, if you run from terminal you should be able to pass through a "yes" or y prompt
[18:07] <eeee> rootbear: is it for surveillance?
[18:07] <ornj> Again, or maybe look into Kazam?
[18:07] <wheatthin> hmm..
[18:07] <rootbear> i suggested kazam.
[18:07] <rootbear> still prompts

[18:07] <wheatthin> Hey guys, i've had problems with my ram temps, and I think a module or two have gone out.. but I'm not sure which ones..
[18:08] <wheatthin> I should have 10gb of ram installed, but ubuntu is only reading 5.8gb
[18:08] <cfhowlett> wheatthin, run the free command
[18:08] <lang> give memtest86+ a go
[18:08] <rootbear> i want to screen dump essentially, capture, move on, capture move on. no prompts to slow me down
[18:08] <darkangel> u usin a amd64 bit Ubuntu version?
[18:08] <cfhowlett> and this ^^^
[18:09] <eeee> rootbear: sudo apt-get install shutter
[18:09] <Beldar> rootbear, use the prtsc key
[18:09] <eeee> rootbear: shutter -a -e
[18:09] <wheatthin> cfhowlett, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8180775/
[18:09] <eeee> put that in a cronjob maybe
[18:09] <rootbear> prompts, and i am trying to shoot from hotkeys, no terminal
[18:10] <worm`> hello what is a good software to add text captions to a video (mp4)  ?
[18:10] <cfhowlett> wheatthin, according to that, you have 6 gigs of ram, 10 gigs of swap
[18:10] <wheatthin> ok, so a 4gb ram module must be dead
[18:10] <wheatthin> heh..
[18:10] <cfhowlett> worm`, "subtitle editor"
[18:11] <rootbear> !info screenshot
[18:11] <rootbear> !info printscreen
[18:11] <eeee> !info shutter
[18:12] <rootbear> thanks
[18:12] <rootbear> ill give it a whirll
[18:12] <worm`> cfhowlett, thanks I'm going to give it a try
[18:12] <wheatthin> cfhowlett, but according to sensors, they are all reading about normal ;/ Could it be limited by the kernel somehow?
[18:12] <cfhowlett> worm`, happy2help
[18:12] <eeee> set the hotkey to shutter -a -e , a popup will appear on the lower right side for 1 sec or so every time
[18:12] <eeee> rootbear:  ^^
[18:13] <cfhowlett> wheatthin, sensors show one thing but free shows something else?  more testing = memtest
[18:13] <wheatthin> k, how do I get into grub to run it?
[18:14] <eeee> wheatthin: hold shift while booting
[18:14] <cfhowlett> wheatthin, reboot.  when grub comes up, select memtest.
[18:14] <wheatthin> k.. be back in a bit.. there's no grub menu that automatically displays
[18:14] <wheatthin> I'll try to hold shift and see what happens
[18:14] <eeee> wheatthin: it might be under advanced options
[18:14] <rootbear> i just found out i can double the ram in this machine!
[18:15] <rootbear> the 4tb drive is great, but im thinking ram boost may be helpful
[18:15] <thecpaptain> I'm trying to add an executable file to PATH in bash, and need some help doing so. Any suggestions for how I would go about it?
[18:15] <C_Clear> So Alright at this point been trying to reinstall Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center. Started at 1:41 still hasn't completed yet. I'm guessing that isn't normal ??
[18:16] <JNixx> C_Clear: Depends on what the time is now :P
[18:16] <rootbear> nope.... 1 hour installs are considered abnormal unless you have an incredibly slow network
[18:16] <C_Clear> 2:16 pm where I am JNixx
[18:17] <eeee> thecpaptain: export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/executable
[18:17] <rootbear> C_Clear is in eastern time.
[18:17] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, no way, no how.  go to the dropbox site, get the install instructions for linux and try again
[18:17] <thecpaptain> should the path include the file-name? or just the directory in which it is positioned?
[18:18] <eeee> thecpaptain: just the directory
[18:18] <sampson_> I have a really weird issue with ubuntu 13 that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. If you do a traceroute on a domain that exists and takes to long the result is it returns the own servername. If you do a lookup on a non-existent domain, same thing it returns the server's ip address
[18:18] <C_Clear> ok. I tried that before. But will give you the benefit and try it that way cfhowlett.
[18:18] <sampson_> and the resolver takes too long*
[18:18] <eeee> thecpaptain: it won't be persistent though
[18:18] <cfhowlett> sampson_, 13.04 and 13.10 are both end of life = upgrade for support.
[18:18] <bazhang> sampson_, version 13.what
[18:18] <thecpaptain> persistent as in permanent?
[18:18] <sampson_> cfhowlett: unfortunately these are not my servers so i cannot just upgrade them
[18:18] <eeee> thecpaptain: you could add it to ~/.profile to make it persistent
[18:18] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | sampson_
[18:19] <sampson_> 13.04
[18:19] <eeee> thecpaptain: yeah, don't know if there's a better way though ask around
[18:19] <cfhowlett> sampson_, ow ow ow.  but when they break cuz they don't get support updates --- you get blamed?
[18:19] <sampson_> I'm well aware bazhang what EOL means. I have no control
[18:19] <thecpaptain> i can try to add it to profile
[18:19] <thecpaptain> where is that located exactly?
[18:20] <eeee> thecpaptain: in your home directory, it's a hidden file
[18:20] <thecpaptain> i'm on it
[18:20] <sampson_> From what I can see in a strace while doing a bunk traceroute it hits nscd which fails, then hosts which fails then uses getaddrinfo which somehow returns the server ip
[18:20] <sampson_> yet looking at the config for getaddrinfo it's blank
[18:22] <thecpaptain> where in the profile-file should I add it? This is how my profile-file looks atm: http://pastebin.com/5uG0ZgTc
[18:23] <thecpaptain> don't know any C yet, which is partly why i'm so handicapped
[18:23] <C_Clear> ok just ran this command from the dropbox site for a Terminal line install and it went well :  "cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -"
[18:24] <C_Clear> however when I ran this line ended up with a error message :  ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
[18:24] <expunge> C_Clear: hrmm?
[18:24] <TJ-> sampson_: Is there a pastebin of the strace?
[18:25] <C_Clear> This error message:  /.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.10.28/dropbox: 1: /home/carl/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.10.28/dropbox: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[18:25] <expunge> C_Clear: from what command?
[18:25] <eeee> thecpaptain: add it at the end
[18:25] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, yep, syntax.  did you copy and paste EXACTLY as was given at the download site?
[18:25] <C_Clear> yup
[18:25] <C_Clear> this was the command ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
[18:26] <C_Clear> copy and pasted eaxactly
[18:26] <thecpaptain> the end as in the last if-code or simply at the end of the file?
[18:26] <eeee> thecpaptain: end of the file
[18:26] <loa> how i can debug fn buttons on my notebook?
[18:27] <loa> i remeber there was tool for xorg
[18:27] <eeee> xev?
[18:27] <loa> remember
[18:27] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, it's object to an unpaired (
[18:27] <loa> yea
[18:27] <C_Clear> explain cfhowlett ??
[18:28] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, it sees one (           now where's the mate      )        ?
[18:28] <C_Clear> ahhh
[18:28] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, it's an unclosed parentheses.  bad command.  BAD.
[18:29] <Vanguard_> fr
[18:29] <C_Clear> thats the exact command I copies from the website.  and those where the results : https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx
[18:29] <thecpaptain> added it like this: PATH="$/home/thecpaptain/bin:$PATH"    but it doesn't work still. Do i have to restart something?
[18:29] <C_Clear> Any thing I can do to make a correction ??
[18:30] <cfhowlett> C_Clear, wait 1.  China has firewalled me from *dropbox*
[18:31] <eeee> thecpaptain: no, the first $ is wrong, PATH=$PATH:/home..../
[18:31] <TJ-> C_Clear: It expects you to provide an argument
[18:31] <thecpaptain> ok
[18:31] <eeee> thecpaptain: if you add it after $PATH , it will be checked last, if you add it before $PATH, it will be checked first, before other directories in PATH
[18:32] <eeee> thecpaptain: btw, it's already in ~/.profile, to add /home/<user>/bin  to PATH at startup, if /home/<user>/bin exists,
[18:32] <C_Clear> ok TJ what argument would I provide? would it be to build a directory or download  or etc ??
[18:32] <eeee> no need to add that
[18:33] <C_Clear> BTW thanks for your help and forgive my ignorance
[18:33] <luffy> can kali-linux be installed in virtualbox in ubuntu 14.04?
[18:33] <eeee> thecpaptain: what are you trying to accomplish?
[18:33] <cfhowlett> luffy, 32bit maybe
[18:34] <sampson_> TJ-: i'll have to clean it up sec
[18:34] <thecpaptain> i'm trying to install a software that requires a file called 'sss' to be executed from bash. To do this I need to add the executable file to the PATH
[18:34] <kyfho> how do I search for a package version b4 I install it?
[18:34] <thecpaptain> I have added it to the bin in my /home/user/bin directory
[18:34] <eeee> kyfho: apt-cache search <package>
[18:34] <eeee> kyfho: apt-cache show <package>     for more info
[18:34] <thecpaptain> but since that doesnt work, i suppose i have to add it manually somehow
[18:35] <kyfho> is usb3 a problem under linux?
[18:36] <TJ-> C_Clear: don't know - the scripts in that archive are somewhat convoluted!
[18:36] <eeee> thecpaptain: if you want to execute a file, you don't need to add it to PATH, you can use ./sss to run it
[18:36] <sampson_> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/U06xC4mG
[18:36] <kyfho> I have a adapter card and wouldnt work under freebsd and I think usb2 speed here on linux too
[18:36] <luffy> 64 bit?
[18:36] <eeee> thecpaptain: ./ tells it to look for the executable in the current directory
[18:36] <luffy> cfhowlett, 64bit?
[18:36] <expunge> kyfho: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Adoption
[18:36] <cfhowlett> luffy, 32 bit.
[18:36] <C_Clear> Actually TJ that helped. I thought I was doing something wrong. but its good to know its not just me
[18:36] <thecpaptain> that's true, but i would like to execute it from various directories, and its kind of tedious to have to move it around, or having it in each directory
[18:37] <kyfho> 625MB/s
[18:37] <kyfho> ok
[18:37] <luffy> cfhowlett, is installation same like ubuntu?
[18:38] <MagicSpud> hello I am having this exact same issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/513157/unresolvable-problem-error-when-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04
[18:38] <cfhowlett> luffy, in virtualbox?  should be similar but best you ask kali for support - not supported here.
[18:38] <MagicSpud> is it a way to find more info?
[18:38] <eeee> thecpaptain: oh, ok
[18:39] <luffy> cfhowlett, ok thanks
[18:39] <Beldar> MagicSpud, ppa-purge and be sure your set up is all ubuntu repo packages.
[18:39] <C_Clear> And its 2:38 EST  and its still stuck installing from the Software Center
[18:39] <C_Clear> le sigh :-/
[18:39] <dudreno> Testing my new irssi client..
[18:40] <kyfho> I musnt give in to hate
[18:40] <Beldar> MagicSpud, Most likely problem is packages from 3rd parties.
[18:40] <thecpaptain> still deosn't get it to work. Where should i put the quotation-marks? PATH=$PATH:"/home/thecpaptain/bin"
[18:40] <ornj> dudreno>> Does it work?
[18:40] <luffy> cfhowlett, yes
[18:40] <kyfho> I have come to like ubuntu more than centos
[18:40] <Amoz> thecpaptain, create a directory called "bin" in your home directory, put all programs there
[18:40] <dudreno> ornj >> You tell me :D
[18:41] <eeee> thecpaptain: no need for quotation marks, if you have already created the ~/bin directory, just put sss there
[18:41] <eeee> type echo $PATH
[18:41] <eeee> it should be the first path in the list
[18:41] <ornj> dudreno>> Hm
[18:41] <ornj> dudreno>> I think it needs more GHz
[18:42] <thecpaptain> echo gives : /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
[18:42] <dudreno> ornj>> thank you for noticing..
[18:42] <eeee> thecpaptain: did you just create the bin this session?
[18:42] <ornj> dudreno>> :D
[18:43] <thecpaptain> yes
[18:43] <thecpaptain> what should i update?
[18:43] <Amoz> thecpaptain, close the session :P
[18:43] <thecpaptain> since i'm noobish enough not knowing how to do that, would I accomplish that by rebooting?
[18:44] <Amoz> it needs to "reload" the PATH, so you should be able to just open a new terminal/shell
[18:44] <eeee> thecpaptain: you need to login again
[18:44] <thecpaptain> ok, ill brb then
[18:44] <expunge> su - user, if you just need it quick
[18:45] <eeee> thecpaptain: ok
[18:45] <TJ-> sampson_: It's an ncsd issue; I recall fixing one not too long back, but I doubt the fix would have been backported to 13.04
[18:46] <stef1a> i cannot kill this process: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/31af0c86dc10f0da9e43/raw/9ea39e76657875920ecaad656fe24b126b14bee4/blah.txt i have tried using sudo pkill -9 spring and killall spring, but neither works. help?
[18:46] <expunge> stef1a: wait or reboot
[18:47] <expunge> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[18:47] <stef1a> expunge: okie dokie. thanks.
[18:48] <kyfho> usb3 is working as usb 2
[18:48] <kyfho> damnit jim
[18:48] <thecpaptain_> it worked :) thanks a lot for the help
[18:48] <expunge> kyfho: what makes you think the mobo supports usb3
[18:48] <kyfho> I am beginnign to think it does not
[18:48] <ryan__> hello
[18:48] <kyfho> that funny I was jsut looking at usb2 hub stuff in the lsusb -v
[18:48] <eeee> thecpaptain_: np :)
[18:48] <expunge> kyfho: they tend to color the plastic within usb3 ports blue
[18:49] <expunge> ryan__: heyo
[18:49] <kyfho> Well i bought a card that has 2 blue ports
[18:49] <kyfho> and wire to my devices is fine
[18:49] <kyfho> but
[18:49] <kyfho> heh
[18:49] <kyfho> not sure the motherbaord like a usb3 card or works with it
[18:49] <ryan__> what is this? im new to ubuntu
[18:49] <C_Clear> alright off to run errands hope to figure out this mess a bit later. thanks for the assistance
[18:50] <expunge> ryan__: it's an IRC channel
[18:51] <ryan__> oh i don't know what an IRC channel is can you explain please
[18:51] <Beldar> ryan__, ubuntu support
[18:51] <Beldar> ryan__, Channel headers tell you what they do.
[18:51] <cfhowlett> ryan__, it's a place to ask for ubuntu support.  also see the ubuntu forums. and ubuntu wikis
[18:52] <kyfho> ryan this is where you come and we tell you to read the cool guide, and you ask questions anyhow and make friends n gossip
[18:52] <ryan__> o cool
[18:52] <ryan__> thats helpful
[18:52] <godbod> sorry for this message
[18:52] <kyfho> https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/index.html
[18:52] <ryan__> it's ok
[18:52] <godbod> thanks.
[18:53] <cfhowlett> !manual | ryan__
[18:53] <kyfho> does anyone know how I can tell if my motherboard will run usb3? with my usb3 addin card?
[18:53] <ryan__> um when i opened the program it showed a list of like 80 or so different itc what are those ones for
[18:54] <ryan__> and thank u ubottu
[18:55] <cfhowlett> ryan__, recommended path for new users: read the manual.  choose your project/task.  experiment/play/learn
[18:55] <TJ-> sampson_: Does "nscd -i" fix it? Otherwise, look into the nscd settings
[18:55] <sampson_> TJ-: Ok I finally got a packet capture and I can see what the server's doing. So it requests bunkdomain.com and resolver returns SERVFAIL so then the server does bunkdomain.com.serverdomain.com and their domain has a wildcard on all subdomains to return a specific ip. Any idea why it would retry with the system domain name attached?
[18:56] <rootbear> oh shit
[18:56] <mustmodify___> any nerds know how I can manually simulate ping via telnet?
[18:56] <ryan__> thanx i have a really old toshiba satellite the one that always kills your battery and i hope i dont experiment to much and crash it its the only one ive got but again thank you i look at the manual
[18:56] <cfhowlett> ryan__, old equipment: lubuntu or xubuntu might be better
[18:57] <TJ-> sampson_: The response ought to be "NXDOMAIN" not "SERVFAIL"
[18:57] <sampson_> well yeah NXDOMAIN whatever
[18:57] <sampson_> but still, that second request shouldn't be happening
[18:58] <ryan__> this is what i'm running xubuntu
[18:58] <ryan__> i dont know the type but it's updating stuff to sooo...
[18:58] <TJ-> sampson_: "SERVFAIL" means it'll try again, and obviously it is assuming the non-dotted hostname needs the domain adding to make a FQDN
[18:58] <sampson_> TJ-: it does it with a dotted domain too
[18:59] <sampson_> iI used notarealdfhasdsfa.com
[18:59] <kyfho> no nerds here
[18:59] <kyfho> fresh out
[18:59] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | kyfho,
[18:59] <kyfho> only devilishly handsome megastuds women find fascinating like me
[18:59] <sad> Hi
[19:00] <kyfho> so I shouldnt say stuff like if my aunt had a weiner would she be my uncle?
[19:00] <expunge> hi sad
[19:00] <mustmodify___> any nerds know how I can manually simulate ping via telnet?
[19:00] <cfhowlett> kyfho, stop now.  play elsewhere
[19:00] <sad> I can not - extract - open a tar gz file. Wat should i do ?
[19:00] <cfhowlett> mustmodify___, pretty sure "nerds" places you on the ignore list.  try a less insulting request for asistance.
[19:01] <expunge> sad: what happens when you try to?
[19:01] <CountryfiedLinux> Does the beta release have Unity 7 or 8?
[19:02] <TJ-> sampson_: check resolc.conf, sounds like "search" and/or "ndots" might be involved
[19:02] <cfhowlett> !utopic | CountryfiedLinux,
[19:02] <cfhowlett> CountryfiedLinux, discuss in #ubuntu+1
[19:02] <sampson_> yeah no search or ndots in there was my first thought
[19:03] <CountryfiedLinux> Oh good luck with that there cfhowlett that's the first place I asked.
[19:03] <grodius> hello I need help. when I click between open windows/applications they are not becoming the 'active' application, meaning though I click within the boundaries of a window, my keyboard inputs will still type in the previous window. the window pane in X will also stay highlighted on the old window while the new window which I am clicking within will be grey... anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[19:03] <sad> nothing  ,actualy . i try , and it go 's via archive manager back to first form. I use Lubuntu 14.04
[19:03] <kostkon> CountryfiedLinux, unity7 and a unity8 session for testing out
[19:04] <SJr> I have a ppa source with a package that is also in the main repo. I need to install the ppa source version but it doesn't seem to want to install. How do I get it to chose the other one.
[19:04] <Beldar> grodius, click the header of the windows
[19:04] <CountryfiedLinux> thanks kostkon
[19:04] <bonzi> just wanted to say thanks for a great product, installing ubuntu linux has really streamlined the processes in my meth lab
[19:04] <sad> I dont know with program can i open it .
[19:04] <wrongplace> hi
[19:04] <bonzi> the scientific calculator has really enabled accuracies of whole new orders of magnitude
[19:04] <grodius> Beldar: the header stays grey even when you click in the new window you have to maximize it for it to become 'active' the header stays active on the old window even though you are clickin in the new
[19:05] <wrongplace> I have a usb 3.0 to expresscard adapter. It worked only once. Since yesterday it doesnt recognize any HDD
[19:05] <wrongplace> tips welcomed.
[19:05] <sad> i try synaptic and software centre , but no succes
[19:05] <expunge> sad: what does 'tar -tvf path/to/file.tar.gz' say?
[19:06] <Beldar> grodius, I have to click my mouse wheel to bring them up to the front in the gnome shell, not sure if this is relevant, your description is a bit confusing tio me anyway.
[19:06] <kostkon> bonzi, you've watched too much breaking bad
[19:06] <sad> I have to choose a program from the list , but i dont know wich one
[19:06] <kostkon> !ot | bonzi, and for the rest
[19:06] <expunge> sad: Ubuntu comes with stuff to extract .tar.gz files
[19:06] <sad> I'm sorry , my english is tarible
[19:06] <Beldar> grodius, I have the feeling you have tweaked the desktop as well and are leaving this out
[19:06] <wrongplace> is this model https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGvS_uligZs
[19:07] <bonzi> no seriously the gchem suite
[19:07] <mustmodify___> cfhowlett: Just out of curiosity, and since you can't emote in chat I can only ask that you take my intent as genuine and interested, do you see nerd as a derogatory term?
[19:07] <godbod> tar -xzf <tar file>
[19:07] <bonzi> and molecules viewer
[19:07] <sad> where can i find it ?
[19:07] <bonzi> has really helped us improve the product
[19:07] <bonzi> and the fact that this is all free software is just amazing
[19:07] <bonzi> we're rocking like 15, 20% higher purity with less waste now
[19:07] <Beldar> !ops | bonzi
[19:07] <bonzi> completely smashing the meth scene in chattanooga
[19:07] <cfhowlett> bonzi, please play elsewhere
[19:08] <bonzi> im not playing
[19:08] <bonzi> im expressing my sincere gratitude
[19:08] <grodius> Beldar: i am not sure what you mean by tweaking the desktop but I havent done any changes recently except update my software
[19:08] <grodius> clicking the header does not properly focus the window either
[19:08] <grodius> [#ubuntu]  window even though you are clickin in the new
[19:08] <bonzi> !ops | Beldar
[19:09] <grodius> [#ubuntu]  window even though you are clickin in the new
[19:09] <popey> bonzi: stop, please.
[19:09] <bonzi> i assume this is some kind of reciprocal gesture
[19:09] <bonzi> of respect
[19:09] <bonzi> but anyway really thank you ubuntu maintainers/community
[19:09] <bonzi> for helping me take the meth game to the next level
[19:09] <grodius> [#ubuntu]  window even though you are clickin in the new
[19:09] <bonzi> the crystal we are cooking now is unbelievable
[19:09] <grodius> sorry
[19:09] <Psil0Cybin> LOL
[19:09] <cfhowlett> popey, tyvm
[19:09] <bonzi> ok that was completely uncalled for
[19:09] <Beldar> grodius, I can't really understand the description, it is also missing what desktop and ubuntu release, can you simplify the description for the channel overall.
[19:10] <Beldar> thats what drugs do to you kids. ;)

[19:15] <sampson_> well a . at the end
[19:15] <loa> Beldar, i use now ubuntu 14.04 i upgrade memory on notebook, and want some new stuff. So i done little upgrade.
[19:16] <Beldar> loa, Do I act now like I really care. ;)
[19:16] <loa> Beldar, lol. Just trying to give all data.
[19:16] <Beldar> ;)
[19:17] <loa> Beldar, i mean i am not using lubuntu anymore.
[19:17] <TJ-> sampson_: That suggests the resolv.conf default root setting is different
[19:20] <Delta706> Is there any way to determine if my soundcard has support for noise suppression?
[19:20] <Beldar> loa, My guess is that this is the same for lubuntu or ubuntu at this level, I have been known to be wrong however, when I search with the same info using ubuntu no wiki's show immediately Might be some info here however. http://askubuntu.com/tags/touchpad/new
[19:21] <loa> Beldar, No, there only lxde configuration files there.

[19:28] <loa> i used xinput and changed it to "1"
[19:28] <loa> that was too easy.
[19:28] <Beldar> loa, cool, enjoy
[19:29] <rootbear> hey, new to Xchat, disconnected form a person to person chat, can i reconnect?
[19:29] <lotuspsychje> rootbear: /query nickname
[19:29] <Beldar> rootbear, Ask the person you were talking to.
[19:34] <loa> I run xev under ubuntu and get code of fn key "0x7e". How i can now associate action with it?
[19:34] <asturel> hi is there a way to 'map' a virtual desktop to an another display?
[19:34] <loa> In lxde there was config for this, how about ubuntu?
[19:34] <asturel> i use the default vm

[19:42] <freeroute> hi, I'm doing a netinstall and I'm now at this stage - http://imgur.com/ba9qcCc - how do I remove that partitioning scheme and start fresh?
[19:42] <jupo> hi ubuntu!
[19:44] <expunge> hi jupo
[19:45] <jupo> hmm
[19:45] <expunge> agreed
[19:45] <Beldar> frezix, You been working on this since at least 10 hrs ago, can you not just boot a live disc or gparted and wipe it.
[19:46] <jupo> do you know if there is a way to have a harddrive stay unused unless i explicitly say to boot from it?
[19:46] <expunge> jupo: how is it being used now?
[19:47] <jupo> at the moment, i just have my main OS on my ssd, and two data HDDs
[19:47] <expunge> usually hard drives aren't used unless you explicitly ask them to be
[19:47] <jupo> but id like to install a second OS on one of the hard drives, and not have it recognized by my main OS
[19:47] <expunge> certainly not booted from
[19:47] <expunge> jupo: not have it even listed as a boot option?
[19:47] <expunge> how would you boot it then?
[19:47] <xinsinaty> 4~4~3~3~
[19:47] <expunge> xinsinaty: yes
[19:48] <jupo> well i'd like BIOS to recognize it of course
[19:48] <xinsinaty> oh sorry , just a miss click
[19:48] <jupo> but in my main OS, i dont want it to even show as an available drive
[19:49] <jupo> to boot to it, id like to press the boot menu key during POST to explicitly boot that, much like booting from a live usb
[19:49] <frezix> Beldar: I know but I'm also amidst an install. If I boot into the liveCD all of the configuration and options will be lost, right? Then I should just as well start all over.
[19:49] <expunge> jupo: mmm
[19:50] <expunge> jupo: you'd probably have to make a custom GRUB menu
[19:50] <jupo> expunge: yea, thats what i thought id have to do too
[19:50] <expunge> jupo: that is, if you don't want to manually type it out each time =P
[19:50] <Beldar> frezix, Hardly, a net install asks for more info after making the partitioning.
[19:50] <expunge> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom_Menu_Entries
[19:51] <Beldar> frezix, I have done net installs it is pretty straight forward even when just adding a partition among other installed OS, I have the feeling you are out of your comfort zone.
[19:52] <mrnv> after upgrading system, my OS stop recognize usb-HDD, now I only can mount /dev/sdb1, if I right meant, it"s need to add in /etc/fstab some code for booting
[19:54] <jupo> expunge: yea, i think i might go with a grub menu
[19:54] <jupo> just dont like to wait for those extra 3 seconds to boot when im not going into my second OS tho :P
[19:56] <Kartagis> not meaning to compare ubuntu or any distro to windows here, but it's all auto when I hook it up to a TV with and HDMI cable. I can get sound and all without having to fiddle with anything. isn't it what is supposed to be on gnu/linux too?
[19:57] <wizzywoZzy> hi
[19:57] <Beldar> Kartagis, none of that is built for linux except what is built by linux developers. Have you seen a Linux friendly smart tv ever?
[19:57] <dobi_> hello. I hava a wlan to access internet and a crossover connection between this pc and a second one. Is it possible to redirect internet petitions from second pc via wlan?
[19:58] <Kartagis> Beldar: oh, you mean that's why?
[19:59] <frezix> Beldar: I am. Someone suggested I should do this as a learning experience. As of now it seems it's impossible to remove encrypted partitions after you've partitioned them (even when you know the passphrase).
[19:59] <Beldar> Kartagis, Yes much of linux you run is reversed engineered.
[19:59] <Kartagis> Beldar: my TV is not even smart though
[19:59] <Kartagis> Beldar: it's just and LCD TV
[19:59] <kostkon> !ics | dobi_
[19:59] <Beldar> frezix, I would ask that person who advised you for helpl. ;)
[19:59] <mrnv> does anyone explain me my proplem with usb-HDD?
[20:00] <Beldar> Kartagis, same argument, that should be obvious.
[20:00] <Kartagis> Beldar: can I at least automate opening pavucontrol and having the audio switched to HDMI when I hook my laptop to the TV?
[20:01] <dobi_> kostkon: not exactly. I have an smarttv from LG that has a crappy wireless adapter so Im trying to connect it directly to an small media server using a crossover cable. The problem is that the wizard attempts to connect to internet and as it can't do it the connection is not established
[20:02] <Beldar> Kartagis, I have no idea, not an area I have spent much in, I have a killer samsung smart tv but the computer I have is not hdmi.
[20:02] <kostkon> dobi_, ok
[20:02] <Kartagis> Beldar: does it work OOB when you hook it up?
[20:02] <dobi_> kostkon: so as long as that media server access to internet using a wlan I would like to somehow bridge the connection to keep the lan but give the tv access to internet via media server;s wlan network
[20:03] <Kartagis> Beldar: I mean sound and all
[20:03] <kostkon> dobi_, sounds complicated
[20:03] <dobi_> kostkon: yeah, but I don't see other way to accomplish this
[20:04] <mrnv> my Lubuntu stop recognize usb-HDD after upgrade, now I only can mount /dev/sdb1, is it need to add some code to /etc/fstab or it's need to do something else?
[20:04] <kostkon> dobi_, you could also ask in #ubuntu-server if the media server runs ubuntu.. server
[20:04] <dobi_> kostkon: Ill try, thanks
[20:05] <Beldar> frezix, I would doubt there is any block to removing partitions, the booted net install is running on it not the HD, it is just a matter of understanding. My self I would get the install done and practice on a usb or other HD.
[20:05] <loa> mrnv, try reboot. i was in same situation yearsterday.
[20:05] <_unreal_> hello, I installed 14.04 lts I have a pci wifi card BCM4318 I'm trying to get it installed and having issues.
[20:06] <loa> How i can assosiate hotkey with action if i only have key code from xev?
[20:06] <mrnv> thanks, loa!!!
[20:06] <StolenToast> if I have 12.04 is there anything cool I would get by upgrading to 14.04
[20:06] <Beldar> mrnv, How is the sdb formatted what partition type?
[20:08] <Beldar> !broadcom | _unreal_
[20:08] <mrnv> 2Beldar, NTFS only, 1Tb Hitachi TOURO, for films, music and etc.,
[20:08] <frezix> Beldar: already tried, but that someone doesn't seem to respond unfortunately :(
[20:08] <Beldar> mrnv, Probably needs a chkdsk run in windows.
[20:09] <loa> mrnv, you can try ntfsfix
[20:09] <Beldar> mrnv, Linux is sensitive to file corruption
[20:09] <loa> but i was serious about reboot it was not sarcasm.
[20:10] <loa> again you can try to mount it using console and you can found there explanation of problem
[20:10] <loa> mkdir /mnt/usb_drive && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb_drive
[20:11] <mrnv> Beldar, I haven't Windows, and when formated, done this on my Linux
[20:11] <loa> i stacked with how i can assosiate xev code with program action.
[20:11] <loa> thinking about going on lxde again.
[20:12] <loa> there all is much more easier.
[20:12] <loa> =/
[20:12] <Guest56812> I have problems with my partition /sda5, I think.  I want to update my computer, but it tells me that there is no free space, though I have removed many programs.
[20:13] <Beldar> mrnv, I would find a windows to run a check, linux does not fix ntfs problems with any where near the positive outcome windows does. If yo value that data fix it correctly.
[20:13] <Guest56812> I read that I must recover 5000+k from /tmp
[20:13] <mrnv> loa, I done fdisk -l and now try to find problem in log
[20:14] <Beldar> mrnv, really a backup HD the same size might be worth the purchase and formatted in a linux file parameter.
[20:15] <Beldar> you can get 2 terrabytes for less than a 100$ US
[20:15] <mrnv> Beldar, great thanks! Now I try to copy file fstab from my next linux laptop
[20:18] <wrongplace> i logged in in my ubuntuforums account, wrote a new thread, tried to publish it. Every time I try, I am required to either create an account or log in". I tried 2 browsers already

[20:22] <camtron> Is there a way to turn off font anti-aliasing in Wine 1.6? I just upgraded from 1.4 and the fonts are incredibly blurry.
[20:23] <user_> hi guys, I would like to use sans-serif as my default font, but I can't find this font. Can somebody assist me how to get this font?
[20:24] <loa> camtron, maybe this will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1050920
[20:24] <mrnv> loa, on my Dell with lxde I use fn with arow up/down for turn light,
[20:24] <Beldar> user_, What desktop and release?
[20:25] <compdoc> user_, not usre if this contains the font you want, but you might try installing msttcorefonts
[20:25] <loa> user_, apt-cache search font | grep sans
[20:25] <user_> Beldar, I'm using ubuntu server 14.04 with xorg and i3 as window manager
[20:26] <loa> mrnv, i can do this too. I can volume up and down, and can up and down brightness. but i need other buttons.
[20:26] <_unreal_> ok looks like I got my wifi drivers installed. now what would be the best WIFI control software I could install to manage wifi connections? I'm running XFCE
[20:26] <Beldar> user_, That is important info for help by the way.
[20:26] <loa> _unreal_, i think you already have it.
[20:26] <_unreal_> ?
[20:27] <loa> just try network connections.
[20:27] <_unreal_> hum. not sure. well I have to reboot for drivers anyways brb
[20:27] <Beldar> _unreal_, No icon in the bottom panel to click?
[20:28] <_unreal_> no
[20:28] <camtron> Whenever I change the brightness on my laptop with the hotkeys, the brightness changes 2 levels (as if I pressed it twice). How do I fix this?
[20:28] <loa> try to reboot.
[20:31] <Beldar> user_, enjoy, http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html
[20:35] <bluetower> loa I'm back. I dont know if my wifi drivers install or not?
[20:35] <bluetower> I did a: sudo iwconfig and I only got an lo and eth1 return. eth1 being ethernet

[20:36] <bluetower> xfce
[20:36] <bluetower> ubuntu 14.04
[20:37] <loa> bluetower, maybe you need load them by hands
[20:37] <loa> Beldar, i found solution. It was xbindkeys
[20:37] <loa> that was hard.
[20:37] <bluetower> BCM4318 wifi card
[20:38] <bluetower> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx I followed that wifi page as suggested
[20:38] <Beldar> bluetower, I would install wicd
[20:39] <loa> bluetower, did you do this? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.08.30-00%3A38%3A57.png
[20:39] <loa> are this drivers in lsmod?
[20:39] <bluetower> yes thats what I did for command lines etc...
[20:40] <frezix> Beldar: seems like this is a bug - http://kpaste.net/c5da4
[20:40] <fabricio> hello
[20:40] <Beldar> bluetower, I see info on the missing wifi icon on the web from wicd installs to "It turns out that to see the nm-applet icon, you have to install package "xfce4-indicator-plugin" and add "Indicator Panel" to the panel."
[20:40] <bluetower> wicd installing
[20:41] <bluetower> and add indicator panel ? no idea how to do that
[20:41] <Beldar> frezix, May be, however I only see conjecture in your link.
[20:42] <frezix> Beldar: how so?
[20:43] <frezix> it appears that this crypt system can't open/remove already encrypted volumes during install
[20:43] <Beldar> frezix, 20140829.22:34:14 Ampelbein | debian bug 451535 "looks kindof related I think"
[20:46] <Beldar> frezix,  The bug is reuse not wipe, that is what you want right a wipe?
[20:46] <mrnv> bluetower, sorry my stupid advaice, but try to /etc/init.d/networking start, I remember once again it help me, but didn't remember in what case:)
[20:47] <mrnv> bluetowr, and try E
[20:47] <user_> Beldar, Thank you for your replies, but unfortunately I'm still not able to get the font. The weird thing is that the font is present in FireFox, but nog elsewhere, for example in LXappeareance. I downloaded all the fonts that contain the sans in the phrase
[20:47] <mrnv> bluetowr, and try $ip a
[20:47] <Beldar> user_, This a ubuntu server?
[20:48] <user_> Beldar, yes sir
[20:48] <user_> ubuntu server 14.04
[20:48] <Beldar> user_, You might ask in #ubuntu-server your set up is relative I think, with tiling.
[20:49] <Beldar> I doubt you the first to setup this way
[20:51] <frezix> Beldar: well I just want the partition to be added to unallocated space. AFAIK a wipe only erases data on it and it appears that when going to a submenu of a partition (from this menu - http://imgur.com/ba9qcCc) and choosing "Erase all data on this partition" does just that.
[20:51] <frezix> oh he left

[20:55] <user_> Hi guys, I need help to get a font. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 server with xorg and i3 as window manager. I'm using Firefox as my default web-browser, which contains the font "sans-serif". This font is however not present elsewhere. I would like to use this font outside Firefox.
[20:57] <stevendumani> hello everyone, is there a way to make shockwave WORK under 14.04? I've tried pepperflash and gnash but no joy so far. anyone?
[20:59] <kbrosnan> user_: sans serif is not a specific font. it is the default OS font which will be http://font.ubuntu.com/ in most cases
[21:01] <kbrosnan> user_: that assumes that the web page is not overriding the default with a webfont or another sytem installed font
[21:03] <kostkon> stevendumani, you mean the old macromedia shockwave tech?
[21:03] <Bryantcore> Hola alguien que hable español y me pueda ayudar, muchas gracias.
[21:03] <kostkon> !es | Bryantcore
[21:04] <Bryantcore> Ok, thx
[21:07] <stevendumani> kostkon http://www.miniclip.com/games/8-ball-pool-multiplayer/en/#t-n
[21:09] <kostkon> stevendumani, it doesn't run here either, so yeah i'm guessing it's a shockwave game. Then the answer, unfortunately, is no.
[21:10] <stevendumani> kostkon but it used to work under 12.04 would u please explain more?
[21:13] <kbrosnan> the other thing might be that they updated the game and dropped support for Flash 11.2
[21:14] <kostkon> stevendumani, try in chrome
[21:14] <kostkon> stevendumani, my logic was that it's a shockwave game. shockwave != shockwave flash
[21:15] <kostkon> stevendumani, and support for shockwave is pretty much non-existent in linux

[21:43] <C_Clear> Hey expunge. Trying to delete dropbox off computer. Ubuntu Software Center is currently frozen trying to do it any suggestions ??
[21:43] <kyfho> reboot
[21:44] <C_Clear> Did that
[21:46] <wad> So I just did a fresh install of 14.04.1 LTS.... I notice that chromium is gone. Is that normal?
[21:47] <expunge> wad: what if it is? What if it isn't?
[21:47] <wad> If it's not normal, then I screwed something up in the install.
[21:48] <wad> And I need to redo it or something.
[21:48] <expunge> no...
[21:48] <wad> It could be an indication that other stuff is broken too.
[21:48] <expunge> if you want chromium, install it
[21:48] <expunge> it's only an indication that chromium is not installed
[21:48] <wad> Ah, okay. Thanks!
[21:48] <expunge> now if everything is missing, that could be an indication of something more
[21:49]  * wad nods
[21:49] <wad> I just copied my old home directory to this new machine.
[21:49] <kyfho> yeah
[21:49] <kyfho> yeahhhhhh
[21:49] <kyfho> yeah
[21:49] <wad> So far, the applications are finding their settings. That's encouraging!
[21:49] <kyfho> your not me
[21:50] <coxalt> Hello,
[21:50] <kyfho> word
[21:50] <coxalt> I installed ubuntu in entire hard disk, and it's ext4
[21:50] <coxalt> There is also swap partition
[21:51] <coxalt> I would like to to make two partitions from main one, one ext4 another ntfs for windows os
[21:51] <coxalt> i downloaded gparted
[21:51] <coxalt> But when i try resize partition, it does'nt allow
[21:52] <wad> One thing that is rather concerning is how sluggish the display is now, in 14.04. Maybe I need to mess with my video driver.
[21:52] <coxalt> Why?
[21:52] <expunge> wad: quite possibly
[21:52] <wad> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [NVS 510] (rev a1)
[21:52]  * wad googles for video driver stuff for ubuntu
[21:52] <expunge> !nvidia
[21:52] <expunge> matrox, wow
[21:53] <expunge> wad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[21:53] <wad> Oh, thanks!
[21:53]  * wad clicks
[21:53] <coxalt> How could i create two partitions, one ext4, another ntfs when all hard drive is on ext4?
[21:53] <coxalt> Without reinsalling ubuntu
[21:54] <expunge> you'd have to resize the extant one first
[21:54] <coxalt> How could i do that?
[21:54] <expunge> from an Ubuntu live OS, for example
[21:54] <expunge> it's about 90% safe, not to be confused with 100% safe
[21:55] <coxalt> So i could boot 12.04 istallation cdm and then do how and what?
[21:55] <coxalt> * cd
[21:55] <expunge> coxalt: run gparted
[21:55] <expunge> it's fairly intuitive
[21:55] <coxalt> I try gpardet
[21:55] <coxalt> But slider does not allow me to resize partitions
[21:56] <kyfho> 14.04
[21:56] <kyfho> its not bad
[21:58] <coxalt> is it possible to boot ubuntu in some kind of maintenance mode where GParded would allow me to resize partition and make another one?
[21:58] <Seannie> is there a changelog for the applications i've installed? i think i've installed some applications that I thought were interesting when i read about them (you may be also interested in ... ) but now i have no recollection of what ones they were exactly. so is there a way i can see my own changelog?
[21:59] <expunge> coxalt: the live OS would suffice
[21:59] <coxalt> Live OS, would it be installation of ubuntu 12 CD?
[22:00] <coxalt> or special one?
[22:00] <coxalt> cd
[22:00] <kostkon> Seannie, there is a History button in the software centre. Also, you could open the System Log app and check the dpkg.log log. If you need to open it first, it's in the /var/log folder
[22:00] <Muchachao> Hi guys, I'm looking for the font "Clean", but unfortunately this font is not present on LXappearance. Can somebody help me to get this font?
[22:01] <expunge> Muchachao: ask apt-file
[22:01] <Seannie> not all software was installed from the software center. some was sourceforge installs. would history still list those or better to just go to dpkg.log?
[22:01] <expunge> Muchachao: part of some texlive package, I believe
[22:02] <kostkon> Seannie, dpkg.log then
[22:02] <Seannie> ahh i see now.
[22:08] <C_Clear> Any suggestions on deleting a program? Ubuntu software Center seems currently frozenand restarting my computer doesn't seem to help.
[22:09] <Seannie> C_Clear you know how to get around in terminal?
[22:09] <C_Clear> a bit
[22:09] <expunge> C_Clear: pgrep -l center
[22:10] <C_Clear> expunge is that command for me ??
[22:10] <expunge> looks that way
[22:10] <expunge> no?
[22:10] <expunge> oh restarting doesn't help?
[22:10] <C_Clear> the reply message is 2016 software center
[22:11] <expunge> what happens when you run software center?
[22:12] <C_Clear> whenever i start software center  progress shows a box icon and searching.  It doesn't advance and is frozen there
[22:13] <kyfho> hm
[22:13] <expunge> C_Clear: can you use the search box?
[22:13] <C_Clear> yes.
[22:14] <expunge> so what's the problem?
[22:16] <C_Clear> where it says progress as in the progress of a program downloading its  searching for a program or a package  that is unidentified. When I've been trying to remove the Dropbox program (spoke about this earlier) it freezes and doesn't make any progress or remove the program
[22:16] <C_Clear> two seperate things I think are related
[22:18] <C_Clear> restarting the computer doesn't seem to restart the software Center. whenever I restart I get the same unidentified program that its stuck searching for and am unable to remove dropbox using the software center
[22:19] <linuxthefish> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eCsPpyRX how can i set this to boot into windows server 2008, which menu item number is it to edit in /etc/default/grub ?
[22:24] <lynnix> C_Clear: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+question/201183
[22:28] <C_Clear> thanks lynnix. tried the first command to get a clean install reccommended by actionparsnip  (  sudo apt-get clean ) and got this error message
[22:28] <C_Clear>  E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[22:28] <C_Clear> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[22:30] <lynnix> C_Clear:   I had the same issue a while back but I dont remember the excact command I used to clear the issue nor can i find the same thread now
[22:31] <C_Clear> ahhh
[22:32] <C_Clear> its complicated by the fact that dropbox links to the updated file is actually the old file.
[22:32] <C_Clear> le sigh
[22:32] <lynnix> C_Clear:   the failed dropbox install has apt locked
[22:32] <C_Clear> yes. any way to get out of that ??
[22:33] <C_Clear> restarting my computer doesn't seem to work
[22:33] <lynnix> yes but I cant find the page
[22:34] <lynnix> C_Clear: http://askubuntu.com/questions/154671/dropbox-install-stuck-at-99-how-do-i-fix-it-and-any-dpkg-errors
[22:37] <C_Clear> Unsuccessgul unfortunately this was the command I used and the result
[22:37] <C_Clear>  sudo dpkg -r nautilus-dropbox
[22:37] <C_Clear> dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
[22:38] <ObrienDave> C_Clear, do you have synaptic or another package manager running now?
[22:38] <macaranaman> Jo
[22:38] <macaranaman> Hi
[22:38] <macaranaman> hos on
[22:38] <macaranaman> whos on
[22:38] <macaranaman> sorry
[22:38] <C_Clear> I don't think so. Only Ubuntu Software Center which is stuck
[22:38] <Seannie> i'm off
[22:39] <lynnix> dropbox  needs to be fixed or removed from the repos
[22:40] <Lawiet> Is there any sofware for burning iso on cd?
[22:40] <lynnix> Lawiet:    sure many
[22:40] <ObrienDave> C_Clear, i would think you need to stop or kill Software Center through task manager
[22:40] <Lawiet> Can you tellme ones?
[22:40] <wad> Lawiet, Ubuntu comes with them already.
[22:40] <ObrienDave> Lawiet, k3b is my favorite
[22:40] <wad> Just right-click the .iso file.
[22:41] <wad> Then choose "write to disk"
[22:41] <Lawiet> Thanks
[22:41] <lynnix> obi12341:  the issue is that dropbox install locks apt upon failure       it is a fairly common issue
[22:41] <wad> Utility stuff that costs money on windows is usually already installed, and free, on linux. :)
[22:41] <lynnix> opps ObrienDave ^^
[22:42] <C_Clear> thanks ObrienDave that is a common sense idea I didn't think of
[22:42] <ObrienDave> lynnix, k, thanks
[22:43] <lynnix> trying to stop it with task manger just results in a zombie
[22:43] <C_Clear> didn't work
[22:43] <lynnix> andit will not

[23:22] <tik> eeeeeeeey
[23:23] <SP33D> oh all mighty ubuntu gods
[23:23] <SP33D> i need your help
[23:23] <TiK> state your case
[23:23] <SP33D> i whant to do a complex thing i whant in bash echo a $var that contains as part a var
[23:23] <SP33D> example VAR_$BLA
[23:24] <SP33D> i tryed all my evil ` ` and {} trics
[23:24] <SP33D> nothing helped i need to any how echo $VAR_(result of $BLA)
[23:24] <ToeSnacks> how do I flush dns and nat records on ubuntu 11.10?
[23:25] <SP33D> TeoSnackes Reboot helps
[23:25] <eeee> SP33D: what's the problem ? echo $VAR_$BLA
[23:25] <SP33D> and ubuntu 11 isn't supported any more
[23:25] <ToeSnacks> SP33D: cool thanks, and I know it it no longer supported
[23:25] <SP33D> eee thats not whats meanded
[23:26] <SP33D> eeee that will echo result of var and bla
[23:26] <SP33D> BUT i Got a $VAR_name1
[23:26] <SP33D> $VAR_name2
[23:26] <C_Clear> Well progress.  Now on software center it says updating cache and seems to be moving I'll see what it looks like in 5 minutes
[23:26] <SP33D> now i got a BLA=name2
[23:26] <SP33D> so i whant to echo VAR_name2
[23:27] <SP33D> but name2 needs to be a var
[23:27] <SP33D> so result should be echo ${VAR_$BLA}
[23:31] <SP33D> echo "$""CONTAINERFS_$(ls /bla/ | grep target)"
[23:31] <SP33D> produces what i need
[23:31] <SP33D> but it don't gets interpreted but the result is
[23:32] <SP33D> $CONTAINERFS_devicemapper
[23:32] <SP33D> now i need to any how echo that result
[23:34] <eeee> SP33D: this will give $BLA_bleh , but echoing it won't produce the variable's value $`echo BLA_$ee`
[23:35] <SP33D> right i have the var
[23:35] <SP33D> i need now to get the result of that var that results out of that echo
[23:35] <SP33D> thats the goal
[23:42] <eeee> SP33D: i got it working though i'm sure theres a better way
[23:43] <eeee> SP33D: eval echo $`echo BLA_$ee`
[23:43] <eeee> that will let it echo the variable
[23:44] <SP33D> ya eval works great job thx a lot
[23:44] <eeee> np
[23:44] <SP33D> but i found a other better solution but good to know that eval
[23:44] <SP33D> i doN't remembered it becaus i should forget it ;)
[23:44] <SP33D> many people always say never use eval never use eval
[23:44] <SP33D> :D
[23:44] <SP33D> lol
[23:45] <SP33D> they could found the never use eval cloub in all kind of coding langs
[23:45] <SP33D> :D
[23:45] <eeee> yeah like i said, im sure theres a better way :)
[23:45] <SP33D> but thx you so much
[23:45] <SP33D> i got a better way now
[23:45] <SP33D> arrays compund bash arrays
[23:45] <C_Clear> hey eeee. question if I delete the lock file from the var/lib/dkpg  directory on a scale of 1 to 10 how much will i mess up my computer ?? (still trying to fix the bad install of Dropbox)

[23:47] <crypt_> hi, I created a luks encrypted partition with cryptsetup and copied my / dir into it to get an encrypted root partition. Now I am stuck with the grub configuration as i am thrown into busybox when I set the encrypted partition as root= parameter.
[23:47] <eeee> TJ-: so glad to see you
[23:48] <eeee> hold on a sec :)
[23:48] <TJ-> eeee: I've been kicking the gnupg dev's with code analysis :)
[23:48] <eeee> my wifi isn't working after a hard reboot, i get an error msg in the tty about a WPDMA being busy, it keeps displaying, i tried ifconfig wlan0 down, then up, but i get input/output error, this is the error msg in tty http://imgur.com/CjBiIPP
[23:48] <TJ-> crypt_: GRUB needs the cryptodisk module loading, and "cryptomount <device>" running
[23:49] <TJ-> eeee: did the firmware fail to load?
[23:49] <eeee> C_Clear: why don't you reboot ?
[23:50] <C_Clear> LOL.  good idea. unfortunately its one I've tried to no avail. Whenever I go back to software center the program/package that is freezing it/locking the computer just restarts
[23:50] <luiiii> Hello!!
[23:50] <crypt_> TJ-: is it enough to set GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=true  - where to add the cryptomount line?
[23:51] <luiiii> I Really need help!
[23:51] <eeee> TJ-: how do i check? modinfo rt2800 ?
[23:51] <C_Clear> maybe a step I should take before rebooting that owuld give me a different result ??
[23:52] <eeee> C_Clear: try to see which program is locking it
[23:52] <eeee> i guess
[23:52] <TJ-> eeee: "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"
[23:53] <TJ-> crypt_: Yes, it is
[23:53] <TJ-> crypt_: Although, it's not "true" it's "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y"

[23:54] <crypt_> ok, thanks so far. update-grub says 'No volume groups found'
[23:54] <TJ-> crypt_: if /boot/ is in the encrypted container, you'll need to do "grub-install <device>" again to have a new core.img built that contains the cryptodisk module
[23:55] <crypt_>  /boot has an own partition at the beginning of the disk
[23:55] <TJ-> crypt_: Make sure "/etc/crypttab" and "/etc/fstab" are in sync, else "update-grub" can't figure out the layers of block devices
[23:56] <luiiii> Hello!, i really need help here please!...i had the same error in Lubuntu and Xubuntu 14.04... After install the SO and install all the apps I need... when i do an UPGRADE and RESTART.. after the Logo Screem of the SO... the screem stay in black! nothing happen!... if I press CONTROL+ALT+F1 the tty1 appear but i dont know what to do there!!
[23:56] <TJ-> crypt_: If /boot/ is outside the root file-system, then GRUB doesn't need to know about it - its all done in the initrd via "update-initramfs"
