[00:00] <eeee> TJ-: i see
[00:01] <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!!... i dont know what to do!
[00:01] <C_Clear> ok so this was the result eeee. I entered the uninstall command and got this result:
[00:01] <C_Clear>  sudo apt-get remove dropbox; rm -rvf ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-dist
[00:01] <C_Clear> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:01] <TJ-> eeee: It looks like conflicting drivers. Can you do "sudo lspci -nnvvvk | pastebinit" ?
[00:02] <luiiii> anybody?
[00:02] <ToeSnacks> do you guys know anything about dnsmasq?
[00:03] <eeee> C_Clear: ok try to run that
[00:04] <crypt_> If I want to have a grub entry for the encrypted partition, do i need to create it manually?
[00:04] <eeee> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8183015/
[00:04] <shibboleth> crypt_: no, you could luksOpen and mount it before running update-grub
[00:05] <C_Clear> So Progress... I guess?? I ran the command and this was the result:
[00:05] <C_Clear> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:05] <C_Clear> Setting up nautilus-dropbox (0.7.1-2) ...
[00:06] <C_Clear> Downloading Dropbox... 100%^[[Bhare and store your files online. Want to learn more? Head to http://www.dropbox.com/
[00:06] <eeee> it seems to be installing it ?
[00:06] <eeee> :D
[00:06] <C_Clear> unfortunately now the Terminal prompt seems frozen hasn't gone back to eh $ prompt
[00:06] <C_Clear> :-/
[00:07] <crypt_> shibboleth: the volume is mounted but in grub.cfg I can find only one Ubuntu entry.
[00:07] <crypt_> however there should be two for each - the encrypted and the original partition.
[00:07] <shibboleth> crypt_: thats weird. the mounted part contains a separate root part/installation?
[00:08] <crypt_> yes.
[00:08] <shibboleth> and yes, you should get two boot options for each if there are two kernels in /boot
[00:08] <C_Clear> now should i try removing it or restart my machine ??
[00:08] <TJ-> crypt_: Are you working from a live ISO?
[00:08] <eeee> C_Clear: try to remove it again
[00:09] <TJ-> eeee: Nothing obvious there; did this start happening after an update (kernel) ?
[00:09] <eeee> TJ-: no, i was fiddling with the reisub wiki trying stuff, and i pressed alt+prntscrn+b and it rebooted
[00:09] <crypt_> I only have one kernel for both as the encrypted system is a copy of the other.
[00:10] <TJ-> eeee: have you done a cold restart?
[00:10] <eeee> i tried restarting several times
[00:10] <TJ-> eeee: cold? total power off (battery out) ?
[00:10] <eeee> oh
[00:10] <eeee> no
[00:10] <TJ-> eeee:  I'll lay odds that'll fix it
[00:11] <eeee> ill brb
[00:12] <crypt_> it is no live system. currently I am using an installed ubuntu trusty and copied it into a luks container to migrate towards a fully encrypted disk.
[00:12] <shibboleth> eeee: check your bios/uefi settings. intel rapid start might be enabled
[00:12] <TJ-> crypt_: did you copy the original file-system to the encrypted device-mapper block device, or create a new file-system and copy file-by-file. If you cloned the entire file-system then both will have the same UUID, and that will mean only one entry in grub's menu
[00:12] <shibboleth> ^+1
[00:13] <crypt_> I copied everything with 'rsync -aP'.
[00:13] <eeee> shibboleth: i think i don't have that feature, searched for it once
[00:15] <TJ-> crypt_: OK, so the unencrypted installation is running, you've created a luks container, which presumably contains either LVM or a plain file-system?
[00:16] <crypt_> that's correct. no LVM, just cryptsetup/luks.
[00:16] <crypt_> is there a way to throw the partition towards update-grub somehow?
[00:21] <C_Clear> so eeee. Terminal is currently locked after running. the  	sudo dpkg --configure -a command. broke it with control C and got this message.  http://pastebin.com/VTCexHiX
[00:22] <TJ-> crypt_: What does this report "sudo os-prober" ?
[00:22] <dcope> hey all, i updated /etc/security/limits.conf and rebooted but its not updating when i run ulimit -n
[00:22] <dcope> any ideas?
[00:23] <crypt_> nothing :)
[00:24] <C_Clear> Also ran  the sudo remove command from dropbox and this was the result http://pastebin.com/iMPV67xY
[00:24] <TJ-> crypt_: There's your problem then - os-prober isn't finding it and that is what GRUB's "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" relies on
[00:24] <C_Clear> BTW Thank you for everyone for the help and patience
[00:25] <eeee> TJ-: its working! thanks :)
[00:25] <TJ-> eeee: One of the drawbacks of battery power!
[00:25] <eeee> hehe :)
[00:29] <crypt_> ok, will try to find my way with a search engine then.
[00:30] <C_Clear> PROGRESS !!!! :)
[00:31] <eeee> C_Clear: do tell
[00:32] <C_Clear> the command you gave me worked and it freed up the software center program. was finally able to delete Dropbox
[00:32] <theslow1> Hello, I have a problem with uWSGI in ubuntu. ---> https://dpaste.de/DfFx#L10
[00:33] <C_Clear> Thank you for your help.
[00:33] <eeee> great, np
[00:33] <C_Clear> Now the second hurdle. trying to install the updated version of Dropbox :-/
[00:33] <theslow1> Some google search told me to install uwsgi via pip, but I do not want to to this
[00:33] <theslow1> If I wanted to compile uWSGI, I would have used centos6
[00:34] <crypt_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/31442/os-prober-returns-nothing describes the same problem, but has no new ideas also. I could add it manually, but this is probably not the best way ..
[00:35] <eeee> C_Clear: shouldn't be too bad
[00:35] <C_Clear> I hope so
[00:41] <TJ-> crypt_: did you try running os-prober with the new file-system unmounted, but obviously leave the device-mapper block device open
[00:41] <crypt_> it looks like there is no solution for this problem yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/674841
[00:41] <C_Clear> And Once again thank you for the help and patience eeee.
[00:44] <eeee> C_Clear: no problem, any time
[00:45] <Beldar> crypt_, Look how old that bug is and check your version of the os-prober, it is a major part of grub 2 and never see this bug.
[00:45] <Beldar> seen*
[00:46] <Beldar> last comment 2 years and 3 months ago
[00:49] <crypt_> yes, it's quite old, but the problem looks similar. maybe os-prober expects LVM and can't deal with pure luks as it says 'No volume groups found'?
[00:50] <crypt_> TJ-:  ... even when the  container is open and th partition is unmounted.
[00:52] <crypt_> A dirty fix is to duplicate the lines of the 'Ubuntu' entry and just edit the root= parameter, but ...
[00:52] <Beldar> crypt_, would not if this was still an issue would the plethora of encrypted users be swarming the channel with this issue?
[00:52] <Beldar> not just one you
[00:53] <Beldar> as a daily channel user I have not seen this except where user error is involved
[00:54] <crypt_> if have no idea, how many people are affected and what makes my case special. Maybe most of the people just use the installer to get a fresh system instead of going all the path manually.
[00:56] <TJ-> crypt_: I think I have a fix for you
[00:58]  * Beldar waits for the voodoo TJ- does so well.
[00:59] <crypt_> TJ-: sounds great. I just multiplied the entry and changed the parameters of the kernel line.
[01:03] <TJ-> crypt_: "wget https://iam.tj/projects/misc/os-prober.patch"
[01:03] <TJ-> crypt_: Then: "sudo patch -p1 <os-prober.patch"
[01:05] <crypt_> beautiful. thanks!
[01:05] <TJ-> crypt_: in theory it should find all crypt device mapper devices and add them to the partition list
[01:06] <TJ-> crypt_: I can't test it here though, so see what it thinks of your system
[01:08] <Beldar> mmm sed
[01:09] <Kios> so my wireless card has a lot of issues under the latest version of Ubuntu, and I want to make sure they're hammered down before I switch cold turkey from Windows
[01:09] <crypt_> I finds the partition node in /dev/mapper but the kernel line looks a bit crippled: 'linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/dm-0'
[01:09] <crypt_> s/I/it/
[01:10] <Kios> basically my signal strength drops to one bar and then goes back up to 3 bars, and it introduces really crappy lag spikes
[01:10] <TJ-> crypt_: Hmmm, yeah, that should at some point generate "root=UUID"
[01:11] <Kios> that and the card shuts off somewhat randomly, forcing a reboot
[01:14] <crypt_> found that on the same track: https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2007/06/msg00414.html
[01:14] <Ryan_> How do I downgrade my php from 5.5.9 to 5.4?
[01:17] <crypt_> ok, great thanks for your help, TJ-  and Beldar! will try a reboot now.
[01:17] <Beldar> Kios, Here the hardware is important, if you run lspci in the ubuntu terminal the wifi should show.
[01:18] <har> yo yo
[01:19] <TJ-> crypt_: I think we can sort it out, "os-prober" uses "/usr/bin/logger" to write debug messages to syslog, so could you run "sudo os-prober" then do "tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit" ?
[01:21] <ToeSnacks> how do I flush the dnsmasq cache? I is returning results for servers that no longer exist
[01:22] <TJ-> ToeSnacks: send it SIGHUP
[01:23] <TJ-> ToeSnacks: e.g. "sudo pkill -HUP dnsmasq"
[01:34] <fwaokda_> anyone have experience connecting to a sql server on windows from ubuntu?  I'm running ubuntu on virtualbox guest and windows 8.1 host.
[01:36] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to create a video using pictures?
[01:37] <pavlos> fwaokda, http://guywyant.info/log/206/connecting-to-ms-sql-server-from-ubuntu/
[01:40] <fwaokda_> pavlos, yes i tried that and I get this: Error 20009 (severity 9):

[01:40] <fwaokda_> 	OS error 111, "Connection refused"
[01:41] <pavlos> fwaokda_, did the telnet work? you may have firewall issues
[01:42] <fwaokda_> telnet didnt work but idk if telnet is installed on windows
[01:44] <Crispy_Gentleman> hello
[01:44] <pavlos> fwaokda_, you issue telnet from ubuntu trying to connect to an sql server on windows on some ip and port number. There are free telnet clients for windows.
[01:45] <fwaokda_> pavlos,  ok just installed on windows but gotta restart. illll be back haha  thanks for help!
[01:45] <pavlos> fwaokda_, np

[01:56] <cuddylier> Anyone know how to downgrade php-fpm from 5.5.9 to 5.4?
[01:59] <kyfho> you gota yank out php
[01:59] <kyfho> then restor
[01:59] <kyfho> why want downgrade?
[01:59] <kyfho> hm
[02:05] <krzysztof> m
[02:07] <abellinux> hola
[02:08] <krzysztof> bonne nuit  a tous
[02:13] <kyfho> rand paul 2016
[02:16] <cfhowlett> !ot | kyfho, obviously, your personal politics are off-topic.  please stop.
[02:16] <Nordom> hello
[02:16] <Nordom> can someone help me out with this compile error http://pastebin.com/v6iae1dm
[02:16] <cfhowlett> Nordom, ask your ubuntu questions
[02:16] <Nordom> Not sure why its erroing, when usually this command works
[02:17] <cfhowlett> !compile | Nordom, all I have is this link ...
[02:18] <Kios> anyone here know how to correct issues with a wireless card and extreme lag?
[02:18] <Kios> according to Xchat's lag meter I'm at +5 seconds and climbing
[02:19] <Blue1> Kios: try a different server?
[02:20] <Nordom> Kios: try restarting your router first
[02:20] <trism> Nordom: make-kpkg is in the kernel-package package
[02:20] <Nordom> trism: yes, and thus why I am confused why its erroing
[02:21] <Nordom> trism: it has always worked before
[02:21] <Blue1> Kios: Reply time from Kios: 113 seconds
[02:21] <Kios> Bluel: its system-wide, Firefox, Transmission, Spotify, Xchat
[02:22] <Kios> Nordom: I'll try that in a minute or two
[02:22] <Blue1> Kios: yup I'd try rebootting the router, try another irc server.......
[02:22] <trism> Nordom: dunno, though I've never run it with sudo (and these days I usually just use the deb-pkg target of the kernel)
[02:23] <trism> Nordom: since that's the whole point of fakeroot
[02:24] <trism> Nordom: make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --otherargshere
[02:28] <Wiky> I rm -rf /var/lib by mistake. Now my ubuntu 14.04 cannot boot normally. It starts up with command line interface. What shall I do to fix it
[02:28] <fwaokda_> back still no dice
[02:29] <Nordom> trism: lol apparently I missed installing kernel-package XD
[02:30] <cfhowlett> Wiky, reinstall ubuntu
[02:30] <kostkon> Wiky, that's pretty serious. I am not sure if you will ever manage to recover fully from it. You could boot in a live session, mount your fs and copy its /var/lib contents to your corresponding folder, i.e. /var/lib...
[02:31] <kostkon> Wiky, or just reinstall as cfhowlett suggested
[02:31] <RiotBlasto___> so /var/lib I survived on 12.04, but /usr/lib just cripples everything
[02:31] <Wiky> kostkon, I will try your suggest first
[02:31] <Wiky> thanks
[02:32] <fwaokda_> im able to telnet from windows to ubuntu but not ubuntu to windows anyone know of a windows setting that would be preventing this?
[02:32] <samthewildone> I noticed that I have two version of chrome or are they the same ?
[02:32] <samthewildone> google-chrome && google-chrome-stable
[02:32] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, not the same
[02:33] <kostkon> Wiky, and if some software refuses to run try reinstalling it. That's the best way to put the missing files back
[02:33] <samthewildone> cfhowlett, which one should I remove. Chrome keeps crashing at random, think this might be the problem.
[02:33] <samthewildone> Two Google Browsers...
[02:34] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, "stable" = ... well, "stable".  the other one should be considered more bleeding edge/experimental
[02:34] <samthewildone> I don't like blood so... the bleeding application one needs to go.
[02:34] <Bashing-om> Wiky: Mihgt help, my list of /ver/lib .. and ya might wqant to re-create "/var/lib/apt/lists" .
[02:34] <kostkon> Wiky, if you are into the cmd line right now, you could try doing a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall
[02:35] <cfhowlett> kostkon THIS ^^^
[02:35] <cfhowlett> kostkon, although I would expect /var/lib to be in the coreOS not the ubuntu-desktop meta
[02:35] <kostkon> cfhowlett, yeah
[02:35] <samthewildone> cfhowlett, aptitude says "unable to locate..."
[02:36] <Bashing-om> Wiky: My list output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8183793/ .
[02:36] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, apt-cache policy google-chrome
[02:36] <samthewildone> what's policy ?
[02:37] <samthewildone> seems like an insurance plan :D
[02:37] <kostkon> Wiky, i guess you could salvage it, maybe bring back 80-90%. A reinstall would be the "sensible" approach in your case
[02:37] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, if "installed" shows a version, then it's installed.
[02:37] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, run the command in a terminal
[02:37] <samthewildone> google-chrome: /usr/bin/google-chrome /usr/bin/X11/google-chrome /usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1
[02:37] <kostkon> of it*
[02:37] <Wiky> kostkon, I'm in Windows and creating USB boot, I know what to do next
[02:37] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, right.  That would be the "unstable" version
[02:37] <kostkon> Wiky, ok
[02:38] <samthewildone> E: Invalid operation google-chrome
[02:38] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, because "google-chrome" is NOT an operation.
[02:38] <samthewildone> cfhowlett, http://pastebin.com/f19ahm8Q
[02:38] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, sudo apt-get purge google-chrome                  will remove it.
[02:39] <samthewildone> E: Unable to locate package google-chrome
[02:39] <samthewildone> ... I think I got a sticky
[02:39] <samthewildone> this is why chrome randomly crashes I now assume.
[02:41] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, be aware: chromium is usually much more stable and is better integrated with linux
[02:41] <samthewildone> ur using it ?
[02:42] <samthewildone> Let me just do google-chrome*
[02:42] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, I have used it.  read the notes in software center or apt-cache show chromium
[02:43] <fwaokda_> im trying to connect to my windows 8.1 host. I can't telnet to it, but i do get a ping back from it if i ping it. can anyone help me troublshoot this or tell me where I might look? I disabled the firewall on windows and it made no difference
[02:43] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, *chromium-browser*         actually is correct
[02:43] <cfhowlett> fwaokda_, ask ##windows?
[02:43] <samthewildone> cfhowlett, http://pastebin.com/GJPvqZec
[02:43] <fwaokda_> cfhowlett, ahh you are right sry ;P
[02:44] <samthewildone> cfhowlett, now... this could do some serious damage.
[02:44] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, great chinese firewall blocks your paste - no can see
[02:44] <samthewildone> well this is what I'm about to do ...
[02:44] <samthewildone> 'sudo apt-get remove google*'
[02:45] <samthewildone> maybe not a good idea.
[02:45] <samthewildone> this is probably better, google-chrome*
[02:46] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, that last is a more narrowly focused command  - should be safer
[02:46] <samthewildone> I just did it.
[02:47] <samthewildone> google-chrome:
[02:47] <samthewildone> google-chrome-stable:
[02:47] <samthewildone> purged from the depths of hell
[02:48] <darkangel> Hello i was just wondering if 1 has to pay google to get there website on the Search location?
[02:48] <samthewildone> yes and no
[02:48] <cfhowlett> darkangel, you pay by viewing ads
[02:48] <samthewildone> darkangel, also SEO
[02:49] <darkangel> oh ok
[02:49] <darkangel> whats the requirments of getting the website on search?
[02:49] <cfhowlett> darkangel, not clear what you're asking ...
[02:49] <samthewildone> good content I assume and also a heck of promotion.
[02:50] <_unreal_> hello. I setup a computer with LTS 14.04, and the last bit of hardware I am having an issue getting working is the WIFI. I'm having issues getting the drivers working I believe
[02:51] <Beldar> _unreal_, lspci in the terminal identify the wifi hardware.
[02:51] <cfhowlett> samthewildone, SEO consultants claim to be able to game google's algorithms giving you prime placement.  For which you pay a handsome fee.  good luck with that.  Your query is about inner google stuff, so #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:51] <_unreal_> Beldar, I'm booting the comp right now
[02:51] <samthewildone> blah
[02:52] <Beldar> _unreal_, Just state it to the channel.
[02:52] <cfhowlett> !browsers | samthewildone
[02:52] <_unreal_> I have a bit of a screwy network currently as well. I can only connect one thing at a time. and the home wifi is bleeped up. LONG story
[02:52] <schultza> did someone managed to fix canonical's authoritarian ways and allow us to change the location of the close,minimize,maximize buttons?
[02:53] <cfhowlett> schultza, editorial comments aside, that fix has been available for years.
[02:53] <kostkon> schultza, in 14.04 it is not possible at all since it does not use metacity anymore
[02:53] <schultza> cfhowlett: they changed it in 14.04.
[02:53] <kostkon> schultza, afaik
[02:53] <hephaestus_rg> Hi there
[02:54] <schultza> kostkon: thats why i was checking again... i hope there will be a future fix for it.
[02:54]  * cfhowlett uses Ubuntustudio and has never touched Unity - so he really should not (and will not) comment on it any further.
[02:54] <necro606> how would i go about changing the image in terminal so i don't have to look at the purple screen?
[02:54] <hephaestus_rg> I recently set up Ubuntu on my netbook, and with some effort I got a broadcom driver working
[02:54] <hephaestus_rg> But it has insane packet loss
[02:54] <hephaestus_rg> Literally 80% packet loss
[02:54] <kostkon> schultza, I doubt it
[02:55] <cfhowlett> necro606, terminal > edit > preferences > appearances
[02:55]  * reveldevel is away: I'm busy
[02:55] <schultza> kostkon: they will lose a lot of followers if they dont allow it in some future release
[02:55] <_unreal_> Beldar, BCM4318 wifi card
[02:55] <Beldar> !broadcom | _unreal_
[02:56] <hephaestus_rg> I'm using b43 because WL just didn't work
[02:56] <Beldar> schultza, Easily done and stop the rant.
[02:56] <cfhowlett> schultza, free to come, free to leave.
[02:56] <hephaestus_rg> Didn't seem to connect the driver with my hardware
[02:56] <_unreal_> I believe I'm having an issue with WL as well
[02:56] <schultza> Beldar: how? every fix ive looked at hasnt fixed it.
[02:57] <hephaestus_rg> I have a 4311
[02:57] <hephaestus_rg> Broadcom
[02:57] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | hephaestus_rg,
[02:57] <_unreal_> I had run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
[02:57] <_unreal_> from that very web site
[02:58] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, but before you read all that, get an ethernet connection and run the additional drivers utility.  It might automagically fix.
[02:58] <hephaestus_rg> OK, is that the one in the GUI?
[02:59] <hephaestus_rg> Asks about proprietary drivers or something
[02:59] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, yep.  right.  does it offer one?
[02:59] <hephaestus_rg> I tried the one it offered, but with that it doesn't work at all.
[02:59] <hephaestus_rg> Like I can't choose a WiFi network
[03:00] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, but it DID fire up the wifi?
[03:00] <hephaestus_rg> I had no sign in the gui
[03:00] <hephaestus_rg> I can try again, is there something I should look out for?
[03:00] <necro606> Thanks cfhowlett..
[03:01] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, I assume you're on hardwire / ethernet connection.  run a terminal: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:01] <cfhowlett> necro606, happy2help
[03:01] <hephaestus_rg> I'll try that
[03:02] <_unreal_> brb switching internet connections
[03:03] <hephaestus_rg> Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:04] <hephaestus_rg> OK fixed that
[03:04] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, you have automatic update or something running
[03:04] <sydney> ok,if ubunt uand windows are dual booting,and i upgrade ubutnu,can ubuntu touch any of my windows partions?
[03:04] <sydney> like delete them?
[03:05] <cfhowlett> sydney, upgrade = 14.04 > 14.04.1                no.  upgrade = 12.04 > 14.04?  yes if you're not careful.
[03:05] <hephaestus_rg> OK, upgrade is happening
[03:05] <sydney> 12.04 to 14.04/ how?
[03:06] <cfhowlett> sydney, if you do an in-place upgrade, your windows is "perfectly safe".  If you clean install and don't pay attention to your installation target options, it could potentially wipe your drive.
[03:07] <sydney> Ok,i figured that much. an in place upgrade i meant :)
[03:07] <cfhowlett> sydney, personally, I prefer clean-install but YMMV.
[03:07] <sydney> its not for me,im helping a friend...
[03:08] <cfhowlett> sydney, who's installing?  you or him?
[03:08] <sydney> him :)
[03:09] <sydney> Ive told him clean install,but he doesnt want to lose his stuff :)
[03:10] <hephaestus_rg> How long should the dist-upgrade take? I'm on a 50mb down connection
[03:10] <cfhowlett> sydney, well there might still be an issue.
[03:10] <cfhowlett> sydney, if he formats his /home, everything goes bbye.
[03:10] <sydney> yes,i know :) Thats why there is a backup :)
[03:10] <cfhowlett> !home | sydney and then DO NOT FORMAT the /home partition
[03:11] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, depends on how long it's been since you did a proper dist-upgrade.
[03:11] <sydney> I know. :) Cas software updater upgrade do that?
[03:11] <hephaestus_rg> I just installed 14.4 from an image I made in may of this year
[03:12] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, current release is 14.04.1    so yeah, probably a lot of upgrades coming down.
[03:12] <hephaestus_rg> Ok
[03:12] <cfhowlett> sydney, do what?  make a /home partition?  no.
[03:12] <hephaestus_rg> Regenerating fonts cache...
[03:12] <sydney> No,format it. :)
[03:12] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, go get coffee
[03:13] <hephaestus_rg> Heh might as well
[03:13] <cfhowlett> sydney, in place upgrade will not bother windows.   MIGHT bother home - which is why I suggest a dedicated /home partition
[03:15] <stevendumani> hello room, can anyone please tell me what's going on here? http://picpaste.com/del/S1fmbYIw/UebbhIgV.png
[03:16] <Bashing-om> sydney: FYI; bug; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192
[03:16] <stevendumani> sorry this is the link http://picpaste.com/UebbhIgV.png
[03:17] <gacnt> So if I have a single server, how does MAAS work
[03:19] <Beldar> stevendumani, Nothing there we do better with a description to start with.
[03:20] <blackyboy> how can i restart network in ubuntu 14.04 LTS desktop ? or Server edition ? Before i do the command # sudo service networking restart but its not working now. is there any alternative command to restart the network to make changes my interface edit
[03:21] <Suphi> hello, what is the ssh command to start an http socks proxy on a pc?
[03:21] <zzz999> what is the easiest way to make a usb bootable in ubuntu?
[03:22] <stevendumani> Beldar the picture speaks for itself by showing how conky looks, I can't explain it sorry for my english, but all I can say is there seems to be a problem with drawing?
[03:22] <ahklerner> i am attempting to set up a 3 machine glusterfs cluster, node1 and node2 peered probed ok, but node3 says "<hostname> is already part of another cluster" when attempting to peer probe either node1 or node2
[03:22] <Beldar> zzz999, to boot what?
[03:22] <ahklerner> , what can i do to add node3 to the glusterfs cluster
[03:22] <Beldar> stevendumani, check your link there is no picture.
[03:23] <zzz999> Beldar, i want to install windows
[03:23] <Beldar> zzz999, What windows release?
[03:23] <zzz999> beldar actually want to do a dual os thing on my laptop
[03:23] <zzz999> beldar windows 7
[03:24] <zzz999> Beldar, i have the win file
[03:24] <gacnt> maas
[03:24] <zzz999> Beldar, i just don't know how to make the usb bootable so it can start installing it from usb
[03:24] <stevendumani> Beldar http://picpaste.com/Q4BMKZwV.png
[03:24] <strukturalna> you need the program
[03:24] <strukturalna> that makes usb bootable
[03:25] <zzz999> i tried so many
[03:25] <strukturalna> which ones?
[03:25] <zzz999> i might be doing something wrong but it doesnt work
[03:25] <Beldar> zzz999, Is this an image or an iso?
[03:25] <zzz999> startup disk creator
[03:26] <strukturalna> I am trying to recall the name of what might work
[03:26] <strukturalna> it was the only one that worked for me
[03:26] <strukturalna> but it was a while ago
[03:26] <zzz999> i do not recall the others right now
[03:26] <Beldar> zzz999, Is the windows an image or an iso?
[03:26] <_unreal_> ok i'm back Beldar
[03:26] <zzz999> iso
[03:27] <_unreal_> ok so far I've been having some wierd issue
[03:27] <_unreal_> bluetower@bluetower:~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[03:27] <_unreal_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:28] <Beldar> zzz999, Use this multiloader http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[03:29] <_unreal_> ?
[03:29] <zzz999> beldar do i extract it to the usb?
[03:30] <Beldar> stevendumani, there are thousands of conkies a whole thread of them on the ubuntu forums, getting detailed tweaks on the one you want here is highly unlikely. From a cursory glance looks like the font is wrong.
[03:30] <sydney> How do you spenn natilous? :P
[03:30] <sydney> spell* :)
[03:30] <Beldar> zzz999, The app I gave you installs ISO's to a usb.
[03:31] <hephaestus_rg> OK, now I have the WL driver an no wifi
[03:31] <Beldar> zzz999, And does windows beautifully
[03:31] <hephaestus_rg> It shows up in lsmod
[03:32] <Bashing-om> sydney: I spell it " nautilus " .
[03:32] <cfhowlett>  _unreal_ so run that command
[03:34] <_unreal_> I did and it just hangs
[03:36] <ahklerner> oh i need to do the peer probe from a node already in the cluster
[03:36] <hephaestus_rg> Yeah so I have the WL driver now. And instead of 80% packet loss, I have no WiFi options at all
[03:36] <hephaestus_rg> !broadcom
[03:37] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, are you running 14.04
[03:37] <hephaestus_rg> I think so, I just did an upgrade thing
[03:37] <hephaestus_rg> And the image is from may
[03:37] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, what is the output of        cat /etc/issue
[03:38] <hephaestus_rg> Command not found
[03:38] <_unreal_> lol
[03:38] <_unreal_> cat is not installed?
[03:38] <hephaestus_rg> Oh I missed the cst
[03:38] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, if that is true, you have got SERIOUS issues
[03:39] <hephaestus_rg> 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[03:39] <phuh> "ubuntu:14.04" vs. "ubuntu:trusty" ... what looks better?
[03:40] <_unreal_> http://pastebin.com/4dXtpPKX
[03:40] <Beldar> neither
[03:40] <zzz999> belder..i am stuck. how do i open it to multiboot
[03:40] <Bashing-om> phuh: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ??
[03:40] <_unreal_> its just sitting there and not returning to prompt. and no cpu ussage
[03:40] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, there we go.  OK well, the update didn't fix it but you seem to have SOME wifi functionality.  not sure it's your driver or what.   m
[03:40] <cfhowlett> Beldar, ???
[03:40] <zzz999> belder i can not find multiboot. do i install multiboot?
[03:40] <Beldar> zzz999, Tab complete nicks, stuck where?
[03:40] <hephaestus_rg> Well I'm using Ethernet atm
[03:40] <phuh> Bashing-om: which one turns you?
[03:40] <zzz999> Beldar, yes sorry..i was in a rush
[03:41] <Beldar> zzz999, follow the link, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[03:41] <hephaestus_rg> If I apt get install linux-proprietary-firmware (don't remember exact name) then I can get working WiFi with 80% packet loss
[03:41] <zzz999> Beldar, the instructions say to double click on file and it will ask you to run in terminal..then to choose a program called multiboot. i cant find multiboot and when i double click it doesnt ask me to run in terminal
[03:42] <zzz999> Beldar, i did that
[03:43] <Beldar> zzz999, just drag the script to the terminal and hit enter
[03:44] <zzz999> Beldar, ok then what ?
[03:44] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, your most complicated but most legitimate option is to get the linux-sta driver directly from broadcom.  If this doesn't fix your issue ... http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[03:45] <Beldar> zzz999, It will ask for admin say yes and install.
[03:45] <hephaestus_rg> OK. I'm trying to reinstall from aptget right now
[03:45] <zzz999> Beldar, it is not asking for admin. it is in gedit
[03:45] <hephaestus_rg> Bcmwl-kernel-source
[03:46] <hephaestus_rg> Problem is it gets to "dkms install completed" and doesn't proceed
[03:46] <hephaestus_rg> Just sits there for ever
[03:46] <Beldar> zzz999, If you drag the script to the terminal click on the terminal and hit enter twice
[03:46] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, you are siging my song
[03:46] <_unreal_> I'm in the EXACT same boat
[03:46] <Beldar> this is the dirty way
[03:47] <_unreal_> http://pastebin.com/4dXtpPKX     Beldar !!!!
[03:47] <zzz999> Beldar, do u have to be in root?
[03:47] <zzz999> Beldar, it is denies permission
[03:48] <_unreal_> zzz999, you prob need to sudo
[03:48] <_unreal_> unless you dont have sudo permissings set for the user to have root permissions
[03:48] <zzz999> tricky tricky
[03:48] <zzz999> how do i do this
[03:48] <zzz999> ok
[03:49] <Beldar> zzz999, do this add the repo just follow the info. http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install
[03:53] <svetlana``> hi, how do i clean up startup? it's cluttered and the system takes a very long time to boot (about 4 minutes)
[03:53] <default_> Regarding Xubuntu 14.04 installed from CD.  Screen keeps blanking after about 10-15 minutes (haven't timed it yet)   ..  Xscreensaver not installed..  after adjusting the settings to leave screen on..  and turned off all screen blanking and power management features..  not change.  uninstalled light-locker package..   no change.   any ideas?  suggestions?
[03:55] <_unreal_> default_, you must have an ATI video card yes?
[03:56] <default_> unreal: yes.  I expected that was relevant..  but can't seem to find anything on the web regarding it
[03:56] <_unreal_> its the driver. is this an older ati video card?
[03:57] <Beldar> svetlana``, Have you added any startup? Have done a text boot to see if it stalls?
[03:57] <_unreal_> if so you prob have to use the open source driver. the ati propritary drivers dont support it.
[03:58] <_unreal_> in other words you need to install the mesa drivers for y our ati video card. so purge the ati propritary totally
[03:58] <hephaestus_rg> Oh man this dkms install conpleted thing
[03:58] <svetlana``> Beldar, it doesn't freeze or give errors, but it tries to launch a lot of stuff i don't see a need in -- something i installed but perhaps don't need or didn't purge properly
[03:58] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, I'm working on it also you are having the EXACT same issue i'm having
[03:58] <hephaestus_rg> So annoying
[03:58] <Beldar> svetlana``, Like?
[03:59] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, you can do a : sudokillall dpkg *
[03:59] <default_> that is bad news..  the video played poorly with the drivers that came installed...
[03:59] <_unreal_> sudo killall dpkg *  and that will kill it being locked
[03:59] <_unreal_> but it still will not have finished the task
[03:59] <svetlana``> Beldar: i did get rid of plymouth in favor of detailed text boot, yes :) i have no specific examples as it's one big pile of mess (i.e. i think it should use 'upstart' to boot but it starts some systemd crap intween, DMs which i had in the past but removed, etc -- i would really like to avoid having to go through this mess by hand)
[04:00] <_unreal_> default_, you still have not given me any info. is your ati video card old?
[04:00] <default_> I just bought it...   it is built into a low power amd processor
[04:00] <psryn> launching dconf-editor gives me this : http://i.imgur.com/oOoBX1g.png
[04:00] <_unreal_> and to be truthful ATI's driver support SUCKS. as far as linux and 3d graphics goes stick with nvidia.
[04:01] <guesting> I have a bug that is freaking me out: very rarely, (but NON-DETERMINISTICALLY), a mutation will ocurr in data transferred using rsync (and maybe even local I/O). It seems to just be one ascii character off: A -> B and so forth, but it's very troubling with big big files which have a mutation more frequently. How can I remedy this issue? What is this a symptom of?
[04:01] <svetlana``> _unreal_, fwiw i'm not using either of these two :)
[04:01] <_unreal_> so its brand new
[04:01] <Bashing-om> default_: Show the channel -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- .
[04:01] <default_> unreal.. that's what I thought...  But I had heard that ATI had improved...
[04:01] <_unreal_> HAA

[04:34] <_unreal_> ? no idea I was not on the server. I was fighting this computer :)
[04:34] <hephaestus_rg> How _unreal_
[04:34] <hephaestus_rg> I have same problem
[04:34] <_unreal_> :) hephaestus_rg
[04:34] <_unreal_> http://go2linux.garron.me/problem-upgrading-debian-Couldnt-rebuild-package-cache
[04:35] <_unreal_> FIRST sudo aptitude update
[04:35] <z999999> unreal do you know about multiboot?
[04:35] <hephaestus_rg> What is aptitude?
[04:35] <_unreal_> then sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
[04:35] <_unreal_> after that : sudo apt-get update
[04:35] <_unreal_> err wait
[04:36] <_unreal_> then sudo dpkg --configure -a            and after that sudo apt-get update
[04:36] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, your halt on dpkg issue should be resulved
[04:37] <_unreal_> the wifi drivers produce corrupted cache files. thats whats causing the issue.
[04:38] <hephaestus_rg> Aptitude command not found?
[04:38] <hephaestus_rg> What is aptitude
[04:38] <_unreal_> yaa right!! check your spelling
[04:38] <_unreal_> or do you know how to copy/paste in the console?
[04:39] <_unreal_> and are you using xchat?
[04:39] <hephaestus_rg> Is it supposed to be apt-get not aptitude?

[04:39] <hephaestus_rg> *Phone
[04:39] <_unreal_> sigh.....
[04:39] <_unreal_> check your spelling then
[04:40] <_unreal_> or sudo apti  and hit the tab key
[04:40] <_unreal_> it should auto fill in aptitude
[04:40] <_unreal_> if not its not installed
[04:40] <_unreal_> which I find REALLLLLLLY hard to believe

[04:41] <hephaestus_rg> This is Ubuntu right
[04:41] <justgreg> hey all, I can't get my kernel to upgrade. I get an error message about memory (my hard drive has plenty of space) and have followed the instructions, to no avail.
[04:41] <_unreal_> ether way: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf                           that should solve
[04:41] <_unreal_> yes
[04:41] <_unreal_> justgreg, memory is your RAM not had drive
[04:41] <SrPx> Hello, what is the easiest way to programatically control Ubuntu? Ie, move the mouse around, click on stuff... I want that to make an automation jobs in a vm, which involves playing with the browser.
[04:42] <justgreg> _unreal_, yes, what should I do, then? I've already checked my trash and run sudo apt-get clean (like it told me)
[04:42] <_unreal_> how much ram do you have installed?
[04:42] <_unreal_> I'm assuming less then 1gb
[04:43] <_unreal_> justgreg, lsblk
[04:43] <justgreg> _unreal_, nope, 4 gb
[04:44] <_unreal_> then you have plenty, I'm not sure what your issue is

[04:44] <justgreg> _unreal_, "lsblk"?
[04:45] <samthewildone> !usb3

[04:46] <_unreal_> justgreg, I dont really know to be honist. the only thing I can think of and its a guess is that your partitions are to small to upgrade
[04:46] <justgreg> _unreal_, I'll go see if #ubuntustudio can help - it's their kernel, anyway.
[04:46] <justgreg> ty
[04:46] <Beldar> z999999, Your momma stranded you settle down. I have a guest.
[04:47] <z999999> ok beldar ok
[04:47] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, you live?
[04:47] <hephaestus_rg> Yeah
[04:47] <_unreal_> you put in those 2 commands?
[04:47] <hephaestus_rg> Yeah
[04:47] <hephaestus_rg> If I do lsmod | grep wl
[04:48] <hephaestus_rg> Something pops up in that list
[04:48] <_unreal_> sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf            first       and          then       sudo dpkg --configure -a

[04:49] <hephaestus_rg> Ok
[04:49] <_unreal_> but are you able to do the second command or even a sudo apt-get update?
[04:49] <hephaestus_rg> Yeah that works fibe

[04:52] <_unreal_> ugh....
[04:52] <_unreal_> ok open a second terminal,    ctrl + shift + t
[04:52] <hephaestus_rg> Ok
[04:53] <_unreal_> sudo killall dpkg *
[04:53] <_unreal_> sudo killall apt-get *
[04:53] <hephaestus_rg> K did that
[04:53] <_unreal_> once thats done.....        sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf            first       and          then       sudo dpkg --configure -a           then do sudo apt-get update
[04:54] <hephaestus_rg> Prompt came back in the other window
[04:54] <_unreal_> then sudo apt-get remoev bcmwl1-kernal........ driver
[04:54] <_unreal_> add a * at the end
[04:55] <hephaestus_rg> Complains that its locked by another proc
[04:55] <hephaestus_rg> When I try configure -a
[04:55] <_unreal_> then its still running
[04:55] <_unreal_> sudo killall and that process
[04:55] <hephaestus_rg> Got jt

[04:56] <hephaestus_rg> Dkms install completed
[04:56] <_unreal_> once they are freed enter those four command sets and you should be clean of the wifi and can try a different driver
[04:56] <hephaestus_rg> XD
[04:56] <_unreal_> sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter      I'm rebooting now to test this BRB
[04:57] <hephaestus_rg> Ok
[04:57] <hephaestus_rg> Check your ping for packet loss too
[04:57] <_unreal_> waiting for apt-get update right now
[05:05] <_unreal_> not working sigh.... or not active not sure
[05:05] <Beldar> z999999, So, I have extracted the W7 iso to a usb with a ntfs and a bootflag and had no issues. Archive manager from a right click on the iso mounts it.
[05:06] <z999999> i am doing yumi
[05:06] <z999999> i was able to mount the usb
[05:06] <z999999> the win7 iso is on a non admin user account
[05:07] <z999999> and i dont know how to access it from the admin account
[05:07] <z999999> cant figure out multiboot sorry
[05:08] <hephaestus_rg> WiFi problems Ughggggg
[05:13] <_unreal_> hephaestus_rg, what was the command I posted for the driver I was installing?
[05:14] <hephaestus_rg> Firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter
[05:15] <_unreal_> ok thanks just wanted to make sure
[05:16] <samthewildone> do I need to have both "Tweak Tool" and "Unity Tweak Tool" installed ?
[05:17] <hephaestus_rg> 24 packets sent, 1 recieved
[05:17] <hephaestus_rg> 95 % loss to 192.168.1.1
[05:17] <hephaestus_rg> Rofl
[05:21] <svetlana``> samthewildone: if you're using unity then yes
[05:21] <yoda_> me personally I don't know how you can torture a person that has done nothing to you. I just want you to think about how you would like it if you where in my position. Any way good luck paying to torture me
[05:21] <svetlana``> tweak tool would be gnome tweak tool I believe
[05:21] <svetlana``> samthewildone: (if you're using gnome and unity, that is)
[05:22] <samthewildone> svetlana``, tool late
[05:22] <svetlana``> yoda_: needs more context, please be more specific and verbose there :)
[05:22] <svetlana``> samthewildone: I hope not, they are both harmless
[05:22] <samthewildone> reinstalls tweak-tool'
[05:22] <samthewildone> I have themes on my ubuntu desktop (numix)
[05:23] <svetlana``> not a problem at all -- it'll nag you about installing extra staff if it's a tweak tool for something else
[05:23] <svetlana``> extra stuff*
[05:23] <yoda_> Because if you don't provide me with a means then I will simply take my needs and force you to either let me do it or do something about it...either way
[05:23]  * svetlana`` <headdesk> installing extra staff for free would be adorable
[05:23] <svetlana``> yoda_: I guess I'll /msg as you're being firmly unclear here
[05:23] <yoda_> you will be paying in some form if I chose this route
[05:24] <Beldar> bot
[05:26] <gacnt> So I'm just fooling around with MAAS, but I need boot images, is there a tutorial to creating boot images
[05:26] <gacnt> IS that like PXE netboot stuff>
[05:27] <dlimiter> where?
[05:28] <dlimiter> helllo
[05:28] <svetlana``> hi
[05:28] <svetlana``> gacnt: the guys over at #maas may be a little bit more familiar
[05:28] <dlimiter> i'm come from China
[05:28] <hephaestus_rg> I think I figured out the problem with b43
[05:29] <hephaestus_rg> I did
[05:29] <gacnt> thanks
[05:29] <svetlana``> dlimiter: hi, and welcome to the ubuntu help room! if you'd like help just ask
[05:29] <hephaestus_rg> dmesg | grep -e b43 -e wlan
[05:29] <hephaestus_rg> And let me paste what it shows
[05:30] <samthewildone> Stupid question, is there a way I can hide Folders ?
[05:30] <wheatthin> add a period to before the name
[05:31] <samthewildone> There a bunch of folders which I need, but they're too many of them.
[05:31] <wheatthin> samthewildone, ^^
[05:31] <samthewildone> ok
[05:31] <hephaestus_rg> paste.Ubuntu.com/8184798
[05:32] <hephaestus_rg> I think that's my packet loss
[05:33] <hephaestus_rg> Can someone read that output and help me understand it
[05:33] <samthewildone> wheatthin, thanks
[05:33] <wheatthin> yup
[05:33] <yoda_> I know this question is quite off topic but do you think somebody that suffers thru something should not have to resuffer it over and over again / should be left alone if it really bothers him
[05:34] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, Hmm are you forcing a wmm config?
[05:34] <svetlana``> yoda_: as I already mentioned you should go straight to your kernel question here -- if you'd like advice on psychology, head over to ##psychology
[05:34] <wheatthin> yoda, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:34] <wheatthin> thanks
[05:35] <yoda_> I think he should be left alone it is harshment other wises
[05:35] <svetlana``> wheatthin: that's not really a cesspool for all things, i thought - good luck surviving that :-p
[05:35] <svetlana``> yoda_: OTHER CHANNELS AWAIT YOU
[05:35] <yoda_> maybe sometime for fun got to go to sleep now
[05:35] <svetlana``> sleep well
[05:35] <yoda_> never do thanks to you
[05:36] <wheatthin> svetlana``, Umm what are you talking about?
[05:36] <hephaestus_rg> Hey _unreal_ did you figure it out?
[05:36] <svetlana``> wheatthin, a few things, not sure which one is causing confusion - sorry :)
[05:36] <hephaestus_rg> I'm reading some people online reporting that the legacy b43xx drivers work better than the new ones
[05:36] <wheatthin> svetlana``, whichever one you're referring my name to.
[05:37] <hephaestus_rg> But you have to black list b43 to force it to use the right ones
[05:37] <svetlana``> wheatthin, I can /msg if you don't mind, it's a little long story :)
[05:37] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, I'm unsure about that, but you can always try
[05:37] <hephaestus_rg> whatthin not deliberately, and I don't know what that is
[05:37] <kasisnu> Hi.
[05:37] <wheatthin> I'm ok.. I'm just here to help with #ubuntu related issues.
[05:38] <wheatthin> Otherwise I have my own issues to attend to
[05:39] <cheetah100>  /join #nzoss
[05:43] <gacnt> Trying to download netboot image and I get to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ wth do I download?
[05:43] <zz999> Beldar: are u there?
[05:43] <zz999> i did yumi added the iso to usb...try torestart puter and wouldnt boot from usb
[05:44] <Beldar> zz999, I have never use yumi, a no boot can be just needing the usb read first.
[05:44] <zz999> beldar what do i need to do?
[05:45] <Beldar> zz999, I have to leave in a matter of minutes is all. Is the bios set to read the usb first?
[05:45] <zz999> how do i change the bios in ubuntu?
[05:45] <zz999> tell me quickly
[05:46] <Beldar> zz999, The bios is independent, the bios splash has a key prompt shown to get in.
[05:46] <zz999> you mean the up and down arrows?
[05:46] <zz999> is it f10?
[05:47] <zz999> f2?
[05:47] <Beldar> zz999, Yes that is how you move the hard drives cd usb...etc, might be f2.
[05:47] <zz999> i ried that with ubuntu and doesn't work
[05:47] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, well in your router, you might wanna try turning off/On QoS and see if you still get the arguments in your dmesg output
[05:47] <zz999> it did when i had windows
[05:48] <zz999> ok i will try it again.
[05:48] <hephaestus_rg> I'll try that whatthin
[05:48] <zz999> i'll tal to you later
[05:48] <Beldar> good luck zz999
[05:48] <griffin_p> any hints or tips for a noob to install some widgets on ubuntu 14 desktop?
[05:49] <wheatthin> griffin_p, which ubuntu desktop do you refer to? :P
[05:50] <fits> anyone can give me some tips,when choosing a laptop to install ubuntu?Is there any kind of hardware that ubuntu or any linux distro is not compatible ?
[05:50] <fits> I am planning to purchase a laptop soon,Thinking what laptop should i buy.Thanks in advance
[05:50] <wheatthin> fits, mostly anything is compatible... the thing you wanna make sure is choosing one with the right wireless networking
[05:51] <griffin_p> @wheatthin ?? my desktop... don't understand the question
[05:51] <wheatthin> fits, and it depends on what you need it for. Of course if you're doing 3d designing, you'll want something with a powerful graphics card and decent ram/proc combo
[05:52] <wheatthin> griffin_p, no, you asked about LAPTOPs didn't you? heh.. smh
[05:52] <fits> wheatthin,I mostly us it for development,computer programming.
[05:52] <fits> wheattin , thanks man.
[05:53] <wheatthin> nothing less than an i5 fits
[05:53] <griffin_p> actually i referred to my desktop, on my pc which is a laptop ...
[05:54] <wheatthin> ahh
[05:54] <fits> but if ever i will do some 3d design,i can still use ubuntu right ?
[05:54] <wheatthin> well with desktop is the same principal, but we usually wanna overdue it :P
[05:54] <hephaestus_rg> Wheatthin I checked and there's no QoS enabled on my router
[05:54] <wheatthin> fits I use blender on a daily basis with ubuntu :)
[05:55] <fits> awesome wheatthin,
[05:55] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, ok, so the kernel is forcing your wireless chipset to ask it, and the ap says no
[05:55] <hephaestus_rg> Seems like it
[05:55] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, have you tried enabling it? :P
[05:56] <hephaestus_rg> I'd rather not
[05:56] <wheatthin> why?
[05:56] <hephaestus_rg> Because now every AP o connect to has to have it to be functional with my laptop
[05:56] <hephaestus_rg> I'd rather fix at the laptop level
[05:56] <helmut_> hi
[05:57] <hephaestus_rg> Since I can't control every router
[05:57] <wheatthin> ok, so blacklist device, use another, or edit your kernel and recompile with the appropriate settings.
[05:58] <fits> whats up helmut
[06:00] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, try reading this  http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17368
[06:02] <hephaestus_rg> I'll try it
[06:02] <sqrt7744> hi, hopefully quick question, i enabled desktop sharing on my computer, now how can i connect to it from another ubuntu computer in same LAN?
[06:03] <sqrt7744> Remimma doesn't seem to see anything
[06:03] <sqrt7744> Remmina
[06:05] <wheatthin> sqrt7744, usually that incorporates VNC server/viewer.. so try using a vnc client and connect via IP and port 5900
[06:06] <wheatthin> sqrt7744, make sure there's no firewall on the server part or else you won't be able to communicate with it.. you can add port 5900 to the allow rule
[06:07] <sqrt7744> wheatthin: thanks, there's no firewall, i can connect all other services without any special settings, samba, dlna, ssh
[06:10] <sqrt7744> So, Remmina doesn't work, but it works with GTK VNC viewer, even with the same settings. Odd.
[06:10] <sqrt7744> thanks!
[06:12] <wheatthin> always glad to help
[06:15] <gacnt> If I have a router, how am I supposed to run my own DHCP server?
[06:16] <hephaestus_rg> Still 80% packet loss wheatthin
[06:17] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, hmm any other wireless device suffering packet loss? Maybe you have interference.. could possibly change the channel
[06:18] <hephaestus_rg> Nope everything else is awesome. I'll paste the most recent log just a sec
[06:18] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, also, still getting dmesg errors?
[06:18] <gacnt> Anybody??
[06:18] <wheatthin> gacnt, no routers will forwards from modem settings
[06:18] <wheatthin> via NAT
[06:20] <gacnt> wheatthin: So I want to setup my own DHCP server, but my router is one of those modem/router all in ones supplied by my ISP
[06:20] <gacnt> If I put it in bridged mode can I then use my server as the DHCP serveR?
[06:27] <gacnt> Anybody?
[06:28] <wheatthin> gacnt, why do you want to run your own DHCP? NAT should be just fine. Do you mean DNS?
[06:28] <gacnt> wheatthin I'm trying to setup MAAS to netboot a few computers in my house, but they don't seem to find the netboot images when they're booting
[06:28] <gacnt> I figure it's because of the DHCP server
[06:29] <gacnt> wheatthin: Suggestions?
[06:29] <wheatthin> gacnt, aren't those supposed to be statically assigned or is it more of a broadcast?
[06:30] <gacnt> I'm not sure, I have set the correct Mac Addr but it just says netboot image couldn't be found
[06:32] <wheatthin> well the mac's gotta be correct.. :) so go look them up, and write them down
[06:33] <hephaestus_rg> Going to try the other drivers legacy and the unsupported one
[06:34] <wheatthin> hephaestus_rg, good luck..
[06:34] <wheatthin> gacnt, Hmm have you created a netboot image when installing & configuring the server?
[06:36] <hephaestus_rg> Hmm bcm43legacy didn't do anything
[06:39] <weijinshi> 有人么 = =
[06:44] <isuckatlifeDOTco>  
[06:49] <gacnt> wheatthin:  Yeah, I just think it's because I'm using my routers DHCP
[07:03] <zzzz9999> hello
[07:03] <zzzz9999> anyone familiar with yumi?
[07:03] <zzzz9999> trying to make a bootable usb with window7 iso
[07:04] <wheatthin> zzzz9999, you can always try win-dd :)
[07:04] <zzzz9999> what is win-dd
[07:05] <wheatthin> zzzz9999, it's a command line program that will transfer the image of the  iso bit by bit to the usb device
[07:05] <zzzz9999> yeh but i want it to boot
[07:05] <zzzz9999> will it boot
[07:05] <wheatthin> if the ISO is bootable, bit by bit will make the usb bootable given your BIOS says to boot from it first
[07:06] <zzzz9999> how do i know the iso is bootable
[07:06] <zzzz9999> could it be not bootable?
[07:06] <wheatthin> if it's a livedvd then yes, it's bootable lol
[07:06] <zzzz9999> hmm not sure
[07:06] <zzzz9999> ok how do i do the command dd
[07:06] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, best to use windows tools to create windows media.  ##windows
[07:07] <ohmaigawd> http://askubuntu.com/questions/324129/how-to-install-aptana Trying to do this. So I extracted the folder from the zip file and put it in the /usr/bin and then I added the "Aptana.desktop" file in the ~/.local/share/applications/ folder but I don't get the icon...
[07:07] <rww> oh for crying out loud
[07:07] <zzzz9999> in ubuntu?
[07:07] <zzzz9999> window tools doesnt work in ubuntu
[07:07] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, use WINDOWS to create WINDOWS media.  = not ubuntu
[07:08] <Ghost1227> in 14.04, the places sidebar was moved from nautilus to gtk, does anyone know what actual package that was moved to?
[07:08] <zzzz9999> how do i use windows media when i am in ubuntu
[07:08] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, borrow a windows machine
[07:08] <ohmaigawd> But here it says to move Aptana to /opt
[07:09] <zzzz9999> you are not helping cfhowlett
[07:09] <ohmaigawd> whats the difference between /opt and /usr/bin?
[07:09] <zzzz9999> wheatthin, how do i use the command dd
[07:09] <rww> zzzz9999: http://askubuntu.com/a/381560
[07:09] <Ghost1227> zzzz9999: what was the question?
[07:10] <rww> Ghost1227: zzzz9999 wants to create a bootable Windows USB stick using Ubuntu
[07:10] <zzzz9999> Ghost1227, would like to know the best way to make a windows iso file bootable on usb...someone suggested dd
[07:10] <zzzz9999> Ghost1227, if so what is the command for dd
[07:11] <Ghost1227> zzzz9999: dd would be the traditional way... trying to boot the windows install media?
[07:11] <zzzz9999> ok if it is the traditional way
[07:11] <zzzz9999> tell me the full command line
[07:12] <kudakwashe> zzzz9999: man dd
[07:12] <Ghost1227> zzzz9999: the alternative (if I understand what you're doing) would be to use something like WinUSB - http://en.congelli.eu/prog_info_winusb.html
[07:12] <zzzz9999> winusb in ubuntu?
[07:12] <zzzz9999> are you sure?
[07:12] <kudakwashe> zzzz9999: info dd
[07:12] <rww> yes, that's why two people have recommended it to you so far
[07:13] <Ghost1227> zzzz9999: don't see any reason it wouldn't work
[07:13] <Ghost1227> and it has an ubuntu ppa
[07:13] <zzzz9999> ok ghost
[07:13] <zzzz9999> thanks
[07:16] <zzzz9999> sorry i am back
[07:17] <zzzz9999> there is no way to dl winusb
[07:17] <Ghost1227> >
[07:17] <Ghost1227> * ?
[07:17] <Ghost1227> what did you mean no way to dl it?
[07:17] <zzzz9999> i looked at the repo
[07:17] <Ghost1227> >_<
[07:17] <rww> http://askubuntu.com/a/381560
[07:17] <Ghost1227> not a long-time ubuntu user, are you
[07:17] <zzzz9999> and the website say the page is no longer there

[07:19] <Ghost1227> lol it's ok
[07:19] <zzzz9999> no i am not a long ubuntu user
[07:20] <rww> author didn't keep the website up-to-date when they published new versions on Launchpad, hence the broken links

[07:20] <zzzz9999> i did get this
[07:20] <rww> http://askubuntu.com/a/381560 has instructions for fixing this.
[07:20] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, that page gives the dd command:     sudo dd if=/path/to/iso/windows.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=4M; sync
[07:20] <gwood> im on mint and ive been getting alot of 404 messages when i update. I guess alot of things may have broken links
[07:21] <cfhowlett> !mint | gwood
[07:21] <rww> yes, let's have a new user use dd when that won't even work with Windows ISOs
[07:21] <gwood> yeah i know its not. I was just saying
[07:21] <rww> and tell someone not looking for Mint support where to go for Mint support
[07:21] <cfhowlett> rww, less sarcasm, more details of the solutions please ...
[07:22] <zzzz9999> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight
[07:22] <zzzz9999> this doesn't work
[07:22] <rww> cfhowlett: I already gave the solution. Perhaps read scrollback instead of throwing factoids out at random.
[07:22] <zzzz9999> can we try something else
[07:22] <Ghost1227> not sure if unetbootin works for windows ISOs or not, but it might
[07:23] <Ghost1227> don't think so though
[07:23] <xangua> zzzz9999: that PPA has no packages for trusty release
[07:23] <rww> which is why the instructions I linked three times have a command to use saucy packages instead
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> Ghost1227: you can use 'winusb' to burn win7 iso
[07:23] <Ghost1227> lotuspsychje: i'm not trying to, zzzz9999 is. and we already tried that, no releases for trusty
[07:24] <gwood> i'm pretty sure i have used unetbootin to burn windows 7 iso
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> maybe 'multisystem' then
[07:25] <Ghost1227> lotuspsychje: i'm trying to figure out what package the source for the places sidebar was moved to when they stripped it from nautilus in 14.04
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> i used it for multiple ubuntu iso's on 1 usb
[07:25] <zzzz9999> rww: do i dl from website?
[07:26] <rww> http://askubuntu.com/a/381560 rather clearly has an "Ubuntu 14.04" section with instructions for doing thias

[07:38] <ScreenNoob> ya i already have seen that but i want to know what i can put in the .screenrc to bind a key (ie, f10) to kill the session i'm in... rather than having to type control-a + k
[07:41] <geirha> screen has its own channel btw. #screen

[07:42] <faryshta> hi. i am trying to configure my localhost to make dynamic virtualhosts. something like i type on my browser hello.faryshta.local and it will take me to /home/faryshta/sites/hello/public_html/
[07:42] <ScreenNoob> oh thanks i didnt know that, I'll try there. :)
[07:43] <hephaestus_rg> B43 worked but I had 80% packet loss with that error in my loga
[07:43] <ScreenNoob> uummm... how to i add a new channel here?
[07:43] <hephaestus_rg> So it was quite painful, felt like 1990s dial up
[07:44] <hephaestus_rg> Combined with 2G cellular
[07:44] <geirha> ScreenNoob: type  /join #screen
[07:44] <zzzz9999> trusty dont work?
[07:46] <ScreenNoob> join #screen
[07:46] <geirha> ScreenNoob: almost, just need the / in front
[07:46] <ScreenNoob> nothing seems to happen ... and i tried several times with the /
[07:46] <geirha> ScreenNoob: How are you connected to irc?
[07:46] <ScreenNoob> oh wow it was just supper slow.
[07:47] <hephaestus_rg> cfhowlett I think this may be my problem

[07:48] <Guest19874> Hello guys, is this official ubuntu help channel?
[07:48] <hephaestus_rg> I need to fix b43 so it ignores bad/invalid data I think
[07:48] <Guest19874> I am new to ubuntu
[07:48] <cfhowlett> Guest19874, it is.  ask your ubuntu questions.
[07:48] <faryshta> hi. i am trying to configure my localhost to make dynamic virtualhosts. something like i type on my browser hello.faryshta.local and it will take me to /home/faryshta/sites/hello/public_html/
[07:48] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg,  I can't say one way or another.  Great Chinese firewall doesn't like that url ... :)
[07:49] <zzzz9999> in startup disk creator, if the software doesn't see the iso does that mean it is a bad file?
[07:50] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, you did md5sum verification - right?
[07:50] <Harry> ada yang indo?
[07:50] <hephaestus_rg> etgear WNDAP360 sends invalid ECSA IEs in probe response frames which have the operating class and channel number fields set to 0, even when no channel switch is pending. mac80211 responds to invalid ECSAs by disconnecting. The result is that every scan when associated to one of these APs triggers a disconnect. Since these ECSAs are obviously bogus, ignore them in probe response and beacon frames. Do not disconnect.
[07:50] <cfhowlett> !indonesian | Harry
[07:50] <zzzz9999> cfhowlett, no
[07:50] <zzzz9999> cfhowlett, i dont know what that is. someone gave me that iso
[07:50] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | zzzz9999,
[07:51] <hephaestus_rg> So I think I need to make sure my mac80211 is updated past that patch
[07:52] <Guest19874> My display resolution changes automaticall after system restart. I am using full HD monitor but due to some reason, I want to change lower resolution. When changed from system settings, lower resolution remains only for a session. After restart, it again changes to full HD. I am using ubuntu 14.04.1 gnome shell version.
[07:53] <cfhowlett> hephaestus_rg, am I correct in that this error originates from a router ?
[07:54] <Beldar> Guest19874, Your using display and hitting apply and the confirmation popup to keep the chosen resolution?
[07:54] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> The error seems to happen because the driver attempts to process bad data sent by the router
[07:54] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Which literally all my other device have no problem with
[07:54] <Guest19874> Beldar, yes
[07:55] <faryshta> hi. i am trying to configure my localhost to make dynamic virtualhosts. something like i type on my browser hello.faryshta.local and it will take me to /home/faryshta/sites/hello/public_html/
[07:55] <Beldar> !xrander
[07:55] <Guest19874> Beldar, ?
[07:55] <cfhowlett> hrphaestus_rg|wb, sounds ... convoluted
[07:55] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Like there's a problem with the probing process

[07:56] <logy> Anyone here using viber for chat?
[07:56] <cfhowlett> hrphaestus_rg|wb, no can see.  and way over my abiility to fix.  I can only suggest you install the STA linux driver from broadcom - its never failed me.
[07:57] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> OK is there a link for that?
[07:57] <cfhowlett> hrphaestus_rg|wb, of course, as of 14.04 my BCM 4312 was supported out of the box ... fwiw
[07:57] <Tzunamii> Morning
[07:57] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Nice I'm on bcm4311
[07:57] <cfhowlett> Tzunamii, ??? afternoon here ... let's just say "greetings"
[07:57] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | hrphaestus_rg|wb, should be about the same.
[07:59] <logy> Hello guys I downloaded viber (program for chat) the software works flawless, I have only one problem, the icon of the software when it is closed is in the upper left corner, not in the upper right, and it is cover me the title bar like that, anyone have idea how to deal with  it? https://imageshack.us/i/f0eAayqNp
[07:59] <zzzz9999> cfhowlett, hello? how do i get the desktop drive?
[07:59] <zzzz9999> cfhowlett, it wasn't really a download. i just placed it there from an usb
[07:59] <Guest19874> Beldar,  I think it is for those whose native resolution is not detected and want to add new/customised resolutions . My native resolution is ok,but problem is in selecting lower resolutions which are present by default
[08:00] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, you were give the ISO?  on a USB?  CD?  what?
[08:00] <zzzz9999> i downloaded the iso
[08:00] <foxhand> hey guys
[08:00] <zzzz9999> straight from a friend's website
[08:01] <zzzz9999> he said he ripped it from a cd
[08:01] <sagittarian_> does anyone know of a command line pager that works with colors?
[08:01] <cfhowlett> zzzz9999, cool.  1.  verify the ISO                   2. verify the USB you made from the ISO.    0.  download directly from official ubuntu mirrors for best results.
[08:01] <foxhand> someone can tell me why th eth0 not work ??
[08:02] <Beldar> Guest19874, Just another way to set resolution, just no gui. This is an actual install right, and have you looked at this HD resolution monitor with Ubuntu on the web? It is not a TV is it?
[08:02] <cfhowlett> foxhand, no details provided = no meaningful answer.  give details.
[08:03] <Guest19874> Beldar,  It is AOC monitor
[08:03] <Guest19874> Beldar, 22inch
[08:04] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Wow this readme is surprisingly well done http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README_6.30.223.248.txt
[08:04] <Beldar> Guest19874, No idea really theoretically it should just work with any resolution it shows keeping it.
[08:05] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Will try in the morning
[08:05] <Guest19874> Beldar,  Anyways, thanks for ur help
[08:05] <less> hey
[08:05] <less> when i try to dual boot windows 8 ubuntu
[08:06] <foxhand> thx
[08:06] <less> the ubuntu doesnt see the windows partisian
[08:06] <cfhowlett> hrphaestus_rg|wb, written by broadcom --- I think they have different editing standards
[08:07] <Beldar> less, This a uefi bios computer?
[08:10] <Basit> hi everyone
[08:11] <less> yes
[08:11] <less> uefi
[08:11] <less> whats that ?
[08:11] <Beldar> !uefi | less
[08:11] <less> it says that tho
[08:11] <Basit> my question is that, I have 10.2 GB of available hard disk space, so is it OK to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in it?
[08:12] <cfhowlett> Basit, lubuntu and xubuntu will use less space, but 10.2 is enough.  expect to run out of space quickly.  your setup will use about 7 - 8 fb
[08:12] <cfhowlett> 8 gb
[08:12] <Basit> i am not interested to try lubuntu nor xubuntu
[08:12] <Basit> just ubuntu is perfect for mw
[08:13] <Basit> *me
[08:13] <less> omg
[08:13] <Basit> so can I install ubuntu on a 10 gb partition?
[08:13] <less> why is installing ubuntu so hard now?
[08:14] <cfhowlett> Basit, go wild.
[08:14] <Beldar> less, You might just use a virtual.
[08:14] <m> Hi
[08:14] <Basit> go wild means?
[08:14] <less> i dont want to use virtual because i need to run a webservre
[08:14] <cfhowlett> Basit, install
[08:15] <cfhowlett> less, lots of webservers run virtually ... but do what you will
[08:15] <Basit> oh, thanks for the helpful advice @cfhowlett
[08:15] <foxhand> please help the eth0 not work ??
[08:15] <Guest19874> My display resolution changes automaticall after system restart. I am using full HD monitor but due to some reason, I want to change lower resolution. When changed from system settings, lower resolution remains only for a session. After restart, it again changes to full HD. I am using ubuntu 14.04.1 gnome shell version.
[08:15] <foxhand> please help the eth0 not work ??
[08:15] <Basit> also one more question
[08:16] <cfhowlett> Basit, happy2help
[08:16] <Basit> how I can play my MP3s after installing Ubuntu? please help urgently
[08:17] <cfhowlett> Basit, install vlc-player
[08:17] <Guest19874> Basit,  from software centre, install fluendo mp3 codecs and enjoy
[08:17] <cfhowlett> Basit,  or install the entire menu of ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:17] <wjdp> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonfree
[08:17] <Basit> I know about VLC, but I'm looking for external audio codecs supported by Linux
[08:18] <cynicallemon> or add ubuntu-resticted-extas package
[08:18] <wjdp> have a read of the link above
[08:18] <Tzunamii> less: If you have the CPU horsepower and the RAM necessary web servers are perfect for running in a virtualized environment. Some pros include enhanced security, easier backup and rollback and migrate the environment from one server to another if a need arise, for instance
[08:18] <wjdp> it's the restricted extras package, has all of this in
[08:18] <Guest19874> Basit, I think you are searching about fluendo mp3 plugins
[08:19] <cfhowlett> !restricted-extras | basit
[08:19] <grog> hello! man
[08:19] <basil1x> Is there such a beast as bluray creation software similar to DeVeDe or DVDStyler?  I've been searching, and can't seem to find any.
[08:20] <Basit> ok, so now I'm off to installing Ubuntu, then coming back to this IRC channel, bye all... :-)
[08:21] <cfhowlett> basil1x, wait 1
[08:21] <less> is it easier to install ubuntu off dvd than usb
[08:22] <Tzunamii> less: It's as easy, but in my personal experience installing from a decent USB is quicker
[08:23] <cfhowlett> basil1x, this is the only link I found - I can't read it however.  chinese firewall ...
[08:23] <cfhowlett> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/create-a-blue-ray-iso-838671/
[08:25] <basil1x> It's a LMGTFY link.  I have already searched.  I received much information that way.  None of it pertinent.
[08:27] <Tzunamii> basil1x: If everything else fails you have the option to use something like VMware or virtualbox to run your favourite Win32/64 application in
[08:28] <basil1x> There only appear to be appallingly expensive enterprise options for Windows.
[08:28] <less> do i have to mess with uefi?
[08:29] <less> do i have to mess with uefi when i dont do dual boot
[08:29] <basil1x> At least, the free ones are all like K3b... they'll *burn* a created bluray ISO or folder, but won't create one themselves.
[08:29] <less> i mean if i only have ubuntu installed
[08:29] <cfhowlett> basil1x, blue ray authoring seems undoable on linux at present
[08:29] <Tzunamii> less: I recommend that you Google "ubuntu uefi installation" to get proper and in-depth infomation
[08:29] <basil1x> Great.  I wasted £45 on this drive, then.
[08:30] <cfhowlett> basil1x, virtualization might be your key
[08:30] <less> well
[08:30] <less> does uefi still effect not dual boot?
[08:30] <basil1x> yuerk
[08:30] <basil1x> Rather not.
[08:32] <cfhowlett> less,  if your machine has efi, you may need to configure some things to install ubuntu at all - never mind dual booting.
[08:33] <less> damn it
[08:33] <less> thats for all linux?
[08:34] <Tzunamii> If you Google what I recommended above you should get all the information you need on the subject.
[08:34] <less> is hyperv with ubuntu any good?
[08:35] <cfhowlett> !uefi was not meant to be linux friendly.  read the link for the workaround.
[08:35] <cfhowlett> !uefi | less was not meant to be linux friendly.  read the link for the workaround.

[08:36] <faryshta> hi. i am trying to configure my localhost to make dynamic virtualhosts. something like i type on my browser hello.faryshta.local and it will take me to /home/faryshta/sites/hello/public_html/
[08:36] <less> was thinking of hyperv now
[08:37] <less> since someone said that virtual is good
[08:37] <less> for liunux
[08:39] <Tzunamii> faryshta: What you want entails a lot of diffrent tasks and I won't go into detail here about it, but let me give you a short list of what is needed to be done:
[08:41] <Tzunamii> faryshta: You need to set up web server vhosts for all your websites on the server, just as you would normally do. You also need a DNS server locally that will identify your requests. I recommend dnsmasq for the easy of use.
[08:43] <Tzunamii> faryshta: After that you add the IP of your local DNS server as primary DNS server on the workstation(s) you want to access it from
[08:44] <Tzunamii> That's the very basic functionality. In order to set up each task you should Google. There are tons of info out there on the subject
[08:44] <cfhowlett> faryshta, you amight consider taking this to #ubuntu-server
[08:46] <faryshta> Tzunamii, i have a vhost and installed dnsmasq how do i add the ip to my local dns server as primary dns?
[08:53] <godbod>  
[09:02] <guest123456> hi please do anybody know where i can get linux drivers for my graphic card AMD Radeon R5 M230 ?? pleeaaaseee :(
[09:04] <tado> hey all. i'm trying to give another user on this computer access to some folders in my home. the group the user belongs to (called like the user name) does not appear from nautilus drop-down menus under permissions tabs. any ideas on how to do it?
[09:04] <mpourhadi> i load my speaker module but i dont have any sound what should i do?
[09:06] <Agri> join #XianDaiNongYe
[09:06] <cfhowlett> tado, what kind of network?  is your user also on ubuntu?
[09:07] <tado> cfhowlett: it's two users on the same laptop
[09:08] <cfhowlett> tado, that's why got invented dropbox/googledriver.  safer than letting someone else in your /home
[09:08] <cfhowlett> tado, imho
[09:08] <guest-1YkNOG> hi all
[09:08] <tado> cfhowlett: :) i need to share a couple of media folders that need to available also when offline. plus i wouldn't call share something with google as safer than sharing it with my partner
[09:09] <guest-1YkNOG> I want to open my root account but my keys are not working the password are on numeric keys.
[09:10] <guest-1YkNOG> I am in guest account now..
[09:10] <guest-1YkNOG> is there any way to do some thing?
[09:10] <svetlana``> your what account again?
[09:10] <svetlana``> I'd recommend using another keyboard to get in
[09:10] <pumbaway> hey
[09:10] <cfhowlett> guest-1YkNOG, not from your guest account you can't
[09:10] <pumbaway> j
[09:11] <guest-1YkNOG> is there any way to get any on screen keyboard
[09:11] <guest-1YkNOG> on login
[09:11] <guest-1YkNOG> window
[09:11] <svetlana``> well
[09:12] <cfhowlett> guest-1YkNOG, pretty sure the accessiblity options include a screen KB
[09:12] <svetlana``> yes, what display manager are you using?
[09:13] <guest-1YkNOG> I am using light dm
[09:13] <guest-1YkNOG> lubuntu .
[09:13] <gacnt> Anybody feel like answering this http://askubuntu.com/questions/517925/how-do-i-create-a-dhcp-server-with-a-router-that-doesnt-allow-me-to-disable-dh
[09:14] <ikonia> gacnt: you can't have 2 dhcp servers
[09:14] <ikonia> gacnt: the answer is to swap your router, or use dhcp on your router
[09:14] <guest-1YkNOG> cfhowlett, but there is no accessebility option
[09:14] <guest-1YkNOG> on there
[09:14] <Abhijit> gacnt, why cant you access the advanced settings?
[09:14] <gacnt> ikonia: I am using DHCP on my router, but I cannot turn it off, or edit any of the settings
[09:14] <gacnt> Cause they're nazis I have no idea
[09:14] <cfhowlett> guest-1YkNOG, ?!  lougout, it should be available.
[09:15] <gacnt> ikonia: Is there any way to work around this so I can get netboot to work?
[09:15] <webusr45> tado: give permission to other group you're both member of.
[09:15] <ikonia> gacnt: there is zero need to call anyone a nazi
[09:15] <guest-1YkNOG> If i will log out every thing will be deleted
[09:15] <ikonia> gacnt: your router is nothing to do with ubuntu, so it's not a question for this channel, contact your hardware vendor
[09:15] <gacnt> I apologize, I'm just frustrated at this point
[09:15] <cfhowlett> guest-1YkNOG, exactly.  logout.  go to accessibility tools.  enable screen KB.  login.
[09:15] <gacnt> But there's no Ubuntu magic I can work to get it to work at all?
[09:16] <ikonia> gacnt: ubuntu does not control your router
[09:17] <gacnt> I'm aware of that.. Very much so.. I'm just wondering if it's possible to work around it seeming there is no way for me to disable my routers DHCP..
[09:17] <gacnt> via ubuntu
[09:17] <ikonia> gacnt: what do you mean "work around it"???? your router is a dhcp server ? what do you want to happen ?
[09:18] <gacnt> Hmm when you put it like that I guess there isn't much I can do
[09:19] <gacnt> There used to be a 'root' account I could login to the router with, but they patched it.. They don't even support bridging so I could run my own Router and use that instead, something about their proprietary, easy to service hard for end-user to mess up policy I guess
[09:19] <gacnt> Oh well, thanks anyways.
[09:22] <cfhowlett> gacnt, dd-wrt will give you linux-based router control.  no fix to your immediate issue, but ...
[09:22] <gacnt> cfhowlett: Thanks, I had that running on my router actually and it worked great, but when I switched ISPs, I'm forced to use this one..
[09:23] <cfhowlett> gacnt, !!! damn.  switch your ISP to something less - demanding.
[09:23] <bong1> hi i have messed around with lxpanel settings like adding the application launch bar and i have removed it, and now what used to be icons on the right side on the panel are now in the middle,  how do i get them back to the right?
[09:24] <cfhowlett> bong1, this is in lxde/lubuntu?
[09:24] <bong1> cfhowlett: yes lubuntu lxde
[09:25] <cfhowlett> bong1, ask #lubuntu
[09:25] <Tzunamii> gacnt: It depends on the ISP, but on a fair few of them they can force the router they supplied you with into bridge-only mode remotely. It's not something they advertise, but if you speak to the tech support they will sometimes be able to help you with that. Just be polite about it
[09:26] <gacnt> Tzunamii: Thanks, I have to wait till tomorrow to talk to anybody. 3AM here now, but after all the googling I've come up with they're not going to help me.
[09:27] <Tzunamii> I would highly recommend speaking to the tech support on a normal weekday when the regular staff is there
[09:27] <gacnt> cfhowlett: It's not that bad of a router, it functions well, and when I had root access it actually had a lot of niceties, but after their most recent patch I can't access like anything so I'm going to call them up and if they can't help me I'll be switching ISPs
[09:31] <dbck> Hi, is there a way to autostart unprivileged lxc containers, when the host system was rebooted?
[09:33] <Tzunamii> dbck: check the file /etc/default/lxc
[09:44] <dbck> Tzunamii: Hi have read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html#lxc-autostart Thought symlinks are not necessary any longer. Does it not work for unprivileged containers via the configuration?
[09:44] <deb_ac> Hey guys
[09:45] <deb_ac> What would be the best filesystem for a device that needs to be compatible w/ windows mac & linux?
[09:45] <svetlana``> I don't know what macs read but both linux and windows read ntfs. Possibly both linux and windows read ext4 (at least linux does). About mac I have no idea.
[09:46] <Tzunamii> dbck: You still need LXC_AUTO="true" to be set in /etc/default/lxc as far as I know
[09:46] <svetlana``> USB drives are frequently fat32 to my knowledge
[09:46] <dbck> Tzunamii: Already done. Not working so far.
[09:47] <Tzunamii> dbck: I never autostart my containers so I haven't tried it in 14.04, but check the last post here http://askubuntu.com/questions/453659/lxc-containers-fail-to-autoboot-in-14-04-trusty-using-lxc-start-auto-1
[09:48] <dbck> svetlana``: Mac's can read ntfs out of the box, but not write without third party extension.
[09:48] <GandalfGreyHat> Hi guys, I'm trying to get Ubuntu 14.04 to install alongside Windows 8 on a Lenovo H535 desktop. I've tried all of the recommended fixes because the standard install isn't working.
[09:48] <GandalfGreyHat> My pastebin is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/8186316/
[09:49] <GandalfGreyHat> I have a single 120GB SSD with Win8 and I've tried to Install Ubuntu a couple different times and I've tried EasyBCD and forcing the boot entry and also using boot-repair from a LiveUSB of Ubuntu as well.
[09:50] <GandalfGreyHat> Still booting win8 only
[09:50]  * GandalfGreyHat makes a frowny face
[09:50] <GandalfGreyHat> svetlana'': NTFS3G and Tuxera are too good utils to write NTFS from a Mac, I've used both.
[09:51] <GandalfGreyHat> two*
[09:51] <dbck> deb_ac: extfat is quite good. Should run with windows above xp (xp needs a special package from ms installed), mac and linux.
[09:51] <ikonia> GandalfGreyHat: just as a heads up, 128GB disk is going to be too small to realistically use a windows 8 install and an ubuntu install,
[09:51] <ikonia> GandalfGreyHat: you can do it, but you'll be limited with space
[09:51] <frib> i have my grub default set as: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8186359/ but the grub menu just stays there forever until i select .. what's up with that?
[09:52] <GandalfGreyHat> ikonia, it meets sys reqs for both OS's I should at least be able to boot, I have two 1TB drives for any overflow data.
[09:52] <ikonia> GandalfGreyHat: sure, it was just a heads up that you'll be tight on space
[09:52] <medic_> I downloaded Aptana Studio 3 Standalone version to my Ubuntu 14.04. I extracted the folder "Aptana_Studio_3" to /opt/ and I put in a .desktop file into /usr/share/Applications  Now the problem is the launcher icon never shows up for Aptana but when I go to /usr/share/applications I see the icon there. And when I search for Aptana in the Ubuntu dash I don't get the Aptana
[09:52] <deb_ac> dbck: would be a good option, but I have to use many cyber cafes that are outdated and cant install anything on. Any other ideas? is ntfs my best shot?
[09:53] <GandalfGreyHat> Yeah, I know, this is going to just be a headless Ubuntu box, but I'm only trying this way because trying to ONLY get Ubuntu to boot on this Lenovo H535 has proven nearly impossible. There's some kind of bootloader whitelist in the system board's firmware.
[09:53] <medic_> The link to the .desktop file http://www.samclarke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/AptanaStudio3.desktop
[09:53] <GandalfGreyHat> It's not impossible though, because I've gotten it to work at least one time in the past with this same setup.
[09:54] <ikonia> GandalfGreyHat: check if it's using secure boot
[09:54] <GandalfGreyHat> Secure boot is disabled according to the 'BIOS'
[09:54] <less> hi
[09:54] <GandalfGreyHat> I can trigger it on and back off to make sure I guess
[09:54] <less> i got ubuntu under hyperv
[09:54] <less> but i cant get a network connection
[09:54] <less> i made a new virtual switch
[09:54] <ikonia> less: can you expand on that
[09:54] <GandalfGreyHat> Is HyperV sharing the ethernet hardware?
[09:55] <GandalfGreyHat> If it's anything like VmWare it has to be manually set to share it
[09:55] <less> well i made a new virtual swithc
[09:55] <less> and i did enable virtual lan identification
[09:55] <GandalfGreyHat> Right, but HyperV needs hardware access to ethernet to share it with virtualized OS's
[09:55] <less> but still not working
[09:55] <less> how do i do that
[09:55] <GandalfGreyHat> Generally specifically eth0
[09:56] <GandalfGreyHat> That's in HyperV's settings somewhere probably, I'm more familiar with VmWare, so I don't know where said setting will be exactly, google might be able to help you on that faster than I can
[09:57] <dbck> deb_ac: Fat32 should be most compatible if the file size per file do not exceed 4GiB otherwise ntfs.
[09:57] <less> do u think installing it
[09:57] <less> instead of just try
[09:57] <less> helps?
[09:57] <deb_ac> dbck: ntfs it is?
[09:57] <ikonia> less: I suggest walkint to the ##windows-server channel to get hyperv setup correctly, then come back to #ubuntu for help configuring your guest
[09:57] <deb_ac> whoops didnt mean to type the ? mark
[09:57] <deb_ac> thanks!
[09:57] <ikonia> less: I strongly advise against just blindly doing things if you don't know how to do it
[09:58] <mouhamadou-moust> momo
[09:59] <Giora> Is there any way to get rid of global menu entirely in 14.04 (except by removing unity-gtk-module)
[09:59] <jacob___> hi folks
[10:00] <smokie> hey guys, i restored my ubuntu from a backup.. when i boot it i get this message "error mismatched names grub rescue"
[10:01] <smokie> can anyone help me out with this?
[10:01] <ikonia> smokie: please don't cross-post
[10:01] <ikonia> smokie: you are already asking in #ubuntu-server
[10:01] <jacob___> why is that a bad thing if it is appliocable?
[10:01] <jacob___> applicable
[10:01] <ikonia> !cross-post > jacob___
[10:02] <smokie> ikonia, yes, and no one answered and more ppl are active here.. what is the problem?
[10:02] <jacob___> smokie, is that the only message you see
[10:02] <jacob___> ikonia are you a mod?
[10:02] <ikonia> smokie: try to ask in the channel that's applicable.
[10:02] <jacob___> ok smokie,.., I am sure you got some issues with your mbr
[10:02] <ikonia> jacob___: not sure how that matters, check the link from ubottu for info on what we don't want cross-posting
[10:02] <jacob___> ikonia, he didnt crosspost here
[10:02] <ikonia> jacob___: he did,
[10:02] <jacob___> he crossposted in ubuntu server
[10:03] <jacob___> the question belongs in this channel
[10:03] <ikonia> jacob___: he's using ubuntu-server as his question shows in #ubuntu-server, he posted it first there - hence why it's crossposting
[10:03] <smokie> jacob___, yes, thats the only message i get.. i tried Boot-repair-disk and that didnt help
[10:03] <jacob___> ok
[10:03] <adam__> bonjour
[10:03] <jacob___> did you backup your mbr?
[10:03] <jacob___> and restored it?
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> !fr | adam__
[10:03] <smokie> ikonia, whats the problem dude?
[10:03] <smokie> i dont get it
[10:03] <smokie> if you don want to help, then just dont
[10:04] <ikonia> !crossposting > smokie
[10:04] <jacob___> ikonia is "lawyering
[10:04] <jacob___> ignore button
[10:05] <smokie> ikonia, there are atleast 4x ppl here then in #ubuntu-server and i waited there and no one answered.. and the issue could be for ubuntu desktop too
[10:05] <deb_ac> What partition table type should I use for ntfs?
[10:05] <ikonia> smokie: but it's not....
[10:05] <smokie> sigh
[10:06] <smokie> ok.. i dont need any help.. thanks
[10:06] <smokie> just unban the guy
[10:06] <smokie> he was just trying to help
[10:06] <smokie> its not fair
[10:06] <GandalfGreyHat> deb_ac it depends what you're trying to do, just remember with MBR partition table you can only have a max of 4 primary partitions, though some legacy firmware and devices have issues with GPT/GUID
[10:06] <smokie> ikonia, that message was for you btw
[10:06] <ikonia> smokie: if you need help, please ask, I'm not suggesting don't use the channel, I was just requesting you don't cross-post the question into multiple channels.
[10:06] <deb_ac> GandalfGreyHat, just need one partition for a terabyte external hd
[10:06] <GandalfGreyHat> A lot of older Lenovo computers require a specific BIOS update to allow detection of GPT/GUID drives
[10:07] <svetlana``> it is up to him to visit a relevant channel and apologize
[10:07] <svetlana``> echan
[10:07] <deb_ac> GandalfGreyHat, actually could I do two and have one encrypted?
[10:07] <smokie> ikonia, yes, i got hat much.. thanks dude.. can you please help out and remove jacob___ ban..
[10:07] <GandalfGreyHat> If it's only 1 Terabyte and a single partition, MBR can work
[10:07] <ikonia> smokie: don't worry about jacob___ - he's not banned
[10:07] <ikonia> smokie: just sort out your own issue
[10:07] <bekks> If it is smaller than 2TB and up to 15 partitions, MBR will work.
[10:07] <GandalfGreyHat> Probably deb_ac, though MBR doesn't allow filesystems larger than 2TB and only allows 4 primary parts
[10:08] <deb_ac> GandalfGreyHat, what if I want two partitions and encrypt one of them?
[10:08] <deb_ac> just thought of it
[10:08] <GandalfGreyHat> I haven't ever personally done it deb_ac so I can't endorse it 100% though I don't see a reason it shouldn't work.
[10:08] <deb_ac> GandalfGreyHat, ok, thank you
[10:09] <dbck> Tzunamii: Now i have a fancy (onboot) ;-) But still not booting on host reboot. http://pastebin.com/YFCj35PC
[10:10] <webusr45> can someone explain the difference pls ("kept back" vs "will be installed")? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8186445/
[10:10] <dbck> Tzunamii: Anyway, i haven't symlinked it, yet.
[10:11] <deb_ac> GandalfGreyHat, in gparted my options for a new partition table are aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, msdos, pc98, sun, and loop. Also, I thought all partition tables had a MBR?
[10:12] <webusr45> I mean why "upgrade" choose not to install new kernel, but "dist-upgrade" does?
[10:12] <GandalfGreyHat> It probably means mbr by msdos
[10:12] <GandalfGreyHat> I'm not familiar with the others aside from GPT and MBR they all probably have specific use cases
[10:13] <bekks> webusr45: Because dist-upgrade has more power and fullfills the dependencies why packages are being kept back otherwise.
[10:15] <webusr45> bekks: there's no difference other than kernel. what dependencies? I've got new kernels with just the upgrade so far. what makes this different ?
[10:16] <bekks> webusr45: The kernel updates are vital to your system, and potentially may break your system, so it is enforced that you keep an eye on them and not install them by accident only.
[10:17] <atwitsend> Where do I install Aptana Studio 3 in Ubuntu 14.04?
[10:18] <webusr45> bekks: by accident? you're kidding right? this is apt-get, and the official ubuntu repos.
[10:18] <atwitsend> In /opt or /usr/bin or somewhere else? so that the .desktop file that I created can access the icon and Aptana script.... Please help me
[10:20] <atwitsend> Anyone..
[10:22] <ios-7-mel> i can reduce my screen brightness on ubuntu 14.04
[10:22] <svetlana``> atwitsend, hi.
[10:22] <svetlana``> atwitsend, where are you installing it from?
[10:23] <ios-7-mel> i cannot reduce my screen brightness on ubuntu 14.04 plz help
[10:23] <atwitsend> I downloaded the Standalone version. Extracted the folder. Applied exec permissions to script. And moved the extracted folder to /opt
[10:23] <atwitsend> svetlana``: ^
[10:24] <frib> ios-7-mel, google xrandr
[10:24] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr
[10:25] <ios-7-mel> thanks
[10:25] <frib> ios-7-mel, xrandr --> get name of screen connected, then xrandr --output [screen code] --brightness [value 0.1-1]
[10:27] <dbck> Tzunamii: An additional symlink didn't work either. (Maybe i haven't set the link right)
[10:28] <Tzunamii> dbck: Hmm, I wish I could help you out more
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> jacob___: wb
[10:32] <atwitsend> svetlana``:  .. :(
[10:32] <svetlana``> hm
[10:33] <svetlana``> atwitsend: you can put it anywhere. I think that if there's only one user, I put these things to ~/prog, but I don't know where to put them if you'd like to have them for all users. The name I gave is unconventional and you would have to add it to PATH by hand.
[10:42] <atwitsend> This is my desktop file http://paste.ubuntu.com/8186674/  but the .desktopfile  goes blank after i give it exec permissions and cant search Aptana in unity dash
[10:45] <dayanand> hi
[10:48] <havarka> does the 32bit version of ubuntu supports multiprocessors?
[10:48] <bekks> Sure
[10:49] <havarka> so then, which version should I install, i have 4gb ram, and usually only browsing web, watching movies, and downloading torrents, so 32 vs 64?!
[10:49] <tarelerulz> havarka , you sound like me
[10:49] <havarka> tarelerulz, what do you mean? :)
[10:50] <smokie`> havarka, i always go for 64bit with every OS
[10:50] <tarelerulz> I pretty much do all the same things as you just said
[10:50] <havarka> tarelerulz, so which do you use?
[10:51] <tarelerulz> Well, OS wise I when 64 bit and I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> havarka  if your hardware is 64bit capable, simply install ubuntu 64bit
[10:54] <MonkeyDust> havarka  use this command and see what's on the very last line: sudo dmidecode --type 4
[10:55] <havarka> MonkeyDust, its capable, but still, wouldnt 32 goes quicker? Since i do only basic stuff?
[10:56] <ecksian> 64 would arguably go quicker as it is more optimized for your processor, with a probably miniscule amount more memory usage
[10:57] <dbck> Tzunamii: Np, thx so far.
[10:57] <bekks> havarka: 64bit on a 64bit hardware is the way to go.
[10:58] <havarka> ok, and now important question i have intel hd4000, so which *ubuntu distro to use in order to be quickest?
[10:59] <bekks> havarka: the graphics chipset is irrelevant at that point.
[10:59] <ecksian> havarka: that's an Ivy Bridge processor, feel free to use standard Ubuntu :P
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> havarka  you mean which desktop environment (DE)
[10:59] <havarka> MonkeyDust, correct
[11:00] <havarka> yes its processor and gpu in one...
[11:01] <ecksian> havarka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[11:04] <kudakwashe> is it possible to list what non free software i have installed? i'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[11:05] <mike123> Is there an easy terminal one-liner to copy all DVD-ROM contents to a folder on my local disk?
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> mike123  rsync -a --progress [dvd] [your pc]
[11:06] <svetlana``> you could try vrms, but it's unreliable for me -- doesn't mention nonfree wifi firmware
[11:07] <mike123> MonkeyDust - Is it possible to infer what the mount point will be automatically? I know it's in /media, but the name is different each time. I'm loading 100+ backup DVD's onto my PC and was hoping to just have it figure it out automatically, if possible.
[11:08] <kudakwashe> svetlana``: thanks
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> mike123  if you don't get an answer here, ask in #bash
[11:10] <havarka> how do i find out how much memory is dedicated to gpu?
[11:10] <kudakwashe> svetlana``: virtual richard stallman :-) wow - that's so funny - i'm going to try it
[11:12] <gvo> mike123 I'd use a bit higher level than bash, pehaps perl, and keep track of the files in media that I've seen and when a new one appears assume it's a dvd and process it.
[11:14] <kudakwashe> svetlana``: yeah vrms doesn't list all non free software properly for me either
[11:18] <kudakwashe> vrms lists emacs24-common-non-dfsg as non-free (which is wrong) but ignores blobs that aren't free - wtf
[11:18] <mike123> Found an easier solution! Simply mount /dev/cdrom in the terminal to a known path, such as /mnt/cdrom. Otherwise, Ubuntu mounts it automatically at /media/mike/{DVD NAME}
[11:18] <Vai> is there any hop to bypassin an ipad lost and erased one?
[11:20] <frib> i have my grub default set as: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8186359/ but the grub menu just stays there forever until i select .. what's up with that?
[11:24] <svetlana``> frib, hi.
[11:24] <svetlana``> frib, did you run update-grub after editing a file?
[11:24] <frib> svetlana``, for sure
[11:25] <svetlana``> dunno then, just wait or ask #grub folks
[11:26] <mike123> Why would Ubuntu mount a DVD in the wrong language? I have a DVD in my drive full of music, however Ubuntu is mounting it in Chinese? lol
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> mike123  join #ubuntu-cn to help translate      (joke)
[11:28] <mike123> haha :P
[11:29] <mike123> Again, it works fine when I mount in the terminal using iso9660
[11:29] <triad> Hello guys! I got this notebook: toshiba ac100 10d - how do I get Ubuntu installed on it?
[11:30] <eeee> frib: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep recordfail= , please
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> !install | triad
[11:31] <godbod> Hello, anyone knows how to get the processor temperature ?
[11:31] <eeee> !info psensor | godbod
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> godbod  install lm-sensors, then run sensors
[11:31] <frib> eeee, set recordfail=1
[11:31] <godbod> thanks
[11:32] <eeee> frib: gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:32] <webusr45> mike123: compare iocharset mount option. maybe one is using iso8859 other utf8
[11:32] <rollitup_> I am trying to try ubuntu using a USB bootable on my HP Pavilion 15 notebook, it boots up only to give an error message saying "the system is running in low-graphics mode"
[11:32] <rollitup_> can someone point out whats going wrong here
[11:32] <frib> eeee, ok what am i editing?
[11:33] <eeee> frib: line 85, before this:
[11:33] <eeee> if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ] ; then
[11:33] <eeee>   set timeout=-1
[11:34] <eeee> type recordfail=0
[11:34] <frib> eeee, isn't that a dynamically generated file?
[11:34] <eeee> frib: true, it'll be reverted back when you update-grub,
[11:34] <eeee> frib: this is just to see if it'll work or not
[11:34] <frib> eeee, got it
[11:35] <frib> is "type" part of what i'm supposed to .. type ?
[11:35] <frib> or just recordfail=0
[11:35] <eeee> no, just recordfail=0
[11:35] <frib> ok
[11:35] <frib> now?
[11:35] <frib> reboot?
[11:35] <eeee> yeah
[11:35] <frib> ok brb
[11:37] <crypt_> hey, I have been here before to ask about a problem to boot into an encrypted ubuntu partition. I found that the ramfs has no cryptsetup command. How can I add it?
[11:37] <mike123> webusr45, Good idea. Thanks.
[11:37] <frib> eeee, it worked
[11:37] <eeee> frib: cool
[11:38] <frib> very
[11:38] <frib> eeee, so can it be made permanent?
[11:38] <eeee> frib: i guess
[11:39] <frib> eeee, do you know how
[11:39] <eeee> checking the grub.d files now
[11:39] <frib> oh ok
[11:41] <crypt_> I thought I would get away without compiling a new kernel?
[11:43] <TJ-> frib: Add "GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=5" to "/etc/default/grub" and then "sudo update-grub"
[11:44] <lxz> 你好，我是linux新手，以后多多关照
[11:45] <lxz> 怎么没有说话，都很忙啊
[11:45] <TJ-> |cn | lxc
[11:45] <TJ-> !cn | lxc
[11:46] <crypt_>  /lib/modules/3.13.0-34-generic/modules.builtin looks like it has all needed crypto modules, but what is the reason, there is no cryptsetup in busybox?
[11:47] <TJ-> crypt_: Because you've not set the correct root file-system entry in "/etc/crypttab" and therefore the update-initramfs hook scripts installed by cryptsetup don't include what is required in the initrd.img
[11:49] <TJ-> crypt_: "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot" is what ensures the initrd.img has what is required
[11:51] <eeee> frib: ^^^ what TJ-  said
[11:52] <crypt_>  /etc/crypttab has "sda3_crypt UUID=8f694b3f-24f5-4dc1-a2d2-6bc0d204cb68 none luks" - is it necessary to have this mounted as / to work?
[11:52] <rasputin> hello
[11:53] <crypt_> the script is there, is there anything else I need to do?
[11:53] <triad_> thank yoi ubottu
[11:53] <TJ-> crypt_: Yes. update-initramfs needs to be run inside a chroot
[11:54] <crypt_> ok, will try this again.
[11:55] <eeee> ( frib that's if you want a 5 sec timeout )
[11:56] <eeee> ( set it to whatever you want the timeout to be )
[11:58] <crypt_> is there a way to check the initrd without rebooting?
[12:00] <bipul> just curious to know, does Ubuntu need charity?
[12:00] <triad_> no
[12:01] <cfhowlett_> !contribute | bipul,
[12:02] <bipul> Thank you.
[12:03] <frib> ok eeee i'll try it
[12:04] <bipul> I am looking for this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/contribute :) Happy to contribute
[12:05] <frib> eeee, TJ- that worked thanks
[12:07] <crypt_> inside the chroot the out put of mount should be "/dev/mapper/sda3_crypt" instead of "/dev/sda5 on /" - is the reason update-initramfs doesn't include cryptsetupt?
[12:12] <TJ-> crypt_: Correct. The chroot should be built starting with something like "mount /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt /target", then adding in proc, sysfs, devtmpfs, devpts, then once running the chroot mount the /boot/ file-system, then the tools will work
[12:15] <crypt_>  i did "for path in proc sys dev boot; do mount -o bind /$path /media/crypt/$path; done" - isn't that enough?
[12:18] <Ghost1227> anyone know a good reference on writing indicator applets?

[12:40] <MonkeyDust_> XPLZ  why did you come here?
[12:40] <TJ-> AlexPortable: There is no name for a device; however, file-systems can have "labels" assigned, and these are what some GUI file managers will display. Changing the label depends on the type of file-system, but you'll need sudo (root) privileges to do it

[12:41] <rasputin> and i like open source
[12:41] <cfhowlett> it's a rule.
[12:41] <pisto> I have added a system user with a certain home
[12:41] <rasputin> moro
[12:41] <pisto> I would expect this to output the actual home:
[12:41] <pisto> sudo -u znc bash -c 'echo ~'
[12:41] <rasputin> finland is best place
[12:42] <pisto> instead, I get the home of root (the current user)
[12:42] <pisto> this does not happen in fedora
[12:42] <XPLZ> Finland is alot of stone hard men
[12:42] <AlexPortable> TJ-: well wine wants me to put in a volume with a name
[12:42] <rasputin> i live finland XD
[12:42] <XPLZ> that means u have a private fauna?
[12:42] <XPLZ> and you are like the hulk ?
[12:42] <cfhowlett> !ot | XPLZ, rasputin
[12:43] <XPLZ> ok
[12:43] <Bitwise> Hello. After locking my computer (14.04) and I come back to it after awhile, I find that everything is frozen except the keyboard (which I suspect because it's PS/2 and USB). The weirdest part is that the mouse light is off. Has anyone experienced this?
[12:43] <XPLZ> i will join offtopic
[12:43] <Bitwise> I found this thread but it's not quite the same problem. Similar though. http://askubuntu.com/questions/361547/ubuntu-freezes-crash-after-wake-when-upgraded-to-13-10
[12:43] <TJ-> AlexPortable: probably need to ask in #winehq
[12:44] <rasputin> i like sauna XD
[12:46] <rasputin> XPLZ: hello
[12:46] <XPLZ> rasputin: Hello my gentleman hows it going?
[12:46] <eeee> pisto: you want sudo su <user> -c 'echo $HOME'
[12:46] <mete_> Hi, I have a problem with my microphone. arecord and aplay works well but soundrecorder not working. using alc270 analog on ASUS Laptop
[12:46] <rasputin> XPLZ: yes im good, u?
[12:47] <pisto> eeee, I shouldn't be able to login with the user
[12:47] <XPLZ> rasputin: Yes yes
[12:47] <pisto> it's just something to drop privileges on
[12:48] <rasputin> XPLZ: u know i can lifting 130kg iron to floor
[12:48] <XPLZ> rasputin: ofcourse u can u are from finlandia
[12:48] <webusr> Bitwise: suspend/sleep has always been problematic for me on desktop linux, particularly on notebooks
[12:48] <rasputin> XPLZ: i live finland, where u from?
[12:48] <cfhowlett> rasputin, xplz guys.  it's called respect.  this is the ubuntu support channel, not your personal channel.  make a new channel to talk in.
[12:48] <Bitwise> webusr, I'm on a desktop. D:
[12:48] <XPLZ> rasputin: Sweden haha :D
[12:49] <XPLZ> cfhowlett : ok thanks sure
[12:49] <eeee> pisto: then you want this sudo -i -u x echo '$HOME'
[12:49] <eeee> ( x being the user )
[12:50] <TJ-> pisto: "sudo -u" runs the command as the user, but it doesn't run a log-in shell, so HOME isn't altered. sudoers "env_reset" keeps the current value
[12:50] <rasputin> XPLZ: okay, how i can send private post to u
[12:50] <pisto> TJ-, so I don't want env_reset, do I?
[12:51] <TJ-> pisto: Of course, it's there to protect the system!
[12:51] <cfhowlett> rasputin, XPLZ do this:  /join xplztalkrasputin            and you'll have your very own channel!
[12:51] <eeee> pisto: this works, sudo -i -u <user> echo '$HOME'
[12:52] <pisto> eeee, it doesn't because it tries to spawn the default shell, which I disabled
[12:53] <eeee> pisto: i see
[12:53] <rollitup> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my pavilion notebook and after rebooting it gives me the system is running in low-graphics mode
[12:53] <pisto> it all works on fedora, but I don't know where to look for different compilation flags/configuration of sudo
[12:53] <rollitup> can someone help
[12:53] <TJ-> pisto: "man sudoers"
[12:54] <rollitup> this is the first time I am installing Ubuntu on a HP notebook
[12:55] <Bitwise> Hello. After locking my computer (14.04) and I come back to it after awhile, I find that everything is frozen except the keyboard (which I suspect because it's PS/2 and USB). The weirdest part is that the mouse light is off. Has anyone experienced this?
[12:56] <Bitwise> Additionally, the mouse still isn't recognized even after reboot. I must power off the computer and turn it back on. I can't 'reboot' it or the mouse light still doesn't come on.
[12:57] <Bitwise> It sounds to me like a power issue, almost like it's turning off the USB ports.

[13:57] <ahklerner1> hello i am trying to set up ftpd and i am able to connect but not write. a little background - apache-www0, apache-www1, and apache-www2 are setup with glusterfs. all 3 have the volume mounted at /mnt/www-data. apache-www0 has a symlink to /mnt/www-data at /srv/ftpd. apache-www0 has a user www-data-admin. i changed the home directory of www-data-admin to /srv/ftpd. i changed the owner of /srv/ftpd to www-data-admin. i am alble to s
[13:57] <torpor> ahklerner1, ls -l /srv/ftpd
[13:58] <cfhowlett> bluetower, easiest way it to run the "additional drivers" app
[13:58] <bluetower> i'm running xfce
[13:59] <ahklerner1> ok so it says the file in the directory is owned by root
[14:01] <bluetower> ahklerner1, chown username:username /path or file

[14:02] <melvincv> hi all. I'm back
[14:04] <Adam__> Hey, im having some issues with my HDMI, when i plug it in, i get the message not supported mode, but as soon as i connect a second monitor, everything works, on both screens, but if i just use the TV it does not
[14:04] <bluetower> cfhowlett, where would I find the additional driers app? I know ive seen it i juist dont know what its under in xfce
[14:04] <cfhowlett> bluetower, I'm also on Xubuntu.  additional drivers is not present.
[14:04] <melvincv> I'm wondering why - each time I log in to Ubuntu 14.04, a notification pops up saying "Applications cannot access my xxxx Gmail account" Is this normal? I'm signed in to Google Talk on Empathy and that works fine.
[14:05] <bluetower> cfhowlett, found it
[14:05] <cfhowlett> bluetower, really? where!
[14:06] <bluetower> go to applications menu, then settings
[14:07] <bluetower> then
[14:07] <bluetower> Software & Updates
[14:07] <barcelona1937> hi How i can make irreversible change of screen resolution if my xrandr -q not allow the size of the screen. graphic card controller is "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)"
[14:08] <labsin> Adam__, what does the screen app say when you have two monitors? Can you disable one of the two from there when they are connected? Also, what graphics card do you use?
[14:08] <bluetower> cfhowlett, find it?
[14:09] <bluetower> cfhowlett, you live?
[14:09] <cfhowlett> bluetower, right!  nice.   well, my dell 1545 has the broadcom 4312 chipset.  I used to manually configure but as of 14.04, bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary) worked out of the tbox
[14:10] <AcidRain2012> .
[14:10] <bluetower> cfhowlett, you can also type software-properties-gtk                    at the run program to fast access it
[14:10] <Adam__> labsin, yeah, i can disable the normal screen afterwards, and the TV still runs
[14:10] <Adam__> but i cant unplug it
[14:10] <Adam__> hmm, unsure about my graphics atm
[14:10] <cfhowlett> bluetower, good to know.
[14:10] <cfhowlett> bluetower, so has your issue been fixed?
[14:10] <AcidRain2012> hello. i have a hdmi cable running to a projector. and a vga that runs to a 42" flat screen. it was working perfect up until about 2 weeks ago.
[14:10] <bluetower> not yet
[14:10] <AcidRain2012> does anyone have any solutions?
[14:10] <AcidRain2012> the projector is what is not being detected
[14:10] <bluetower> not yet....
[14:11] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | bluetower,
[14:11] <bluetower> lol
[14:11] <bluetower> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers
[14:11] <AcidRain2012> i am getting no signal on the projector
[14:11] <bluetower> this link gives the proper driver per device list
[14:12] <AcidRain2012> the hdmi output to the projector WAS being detected as DVI output in display options
[14:12] <AcidRain2012> if that helps anyone with what i got going on here
[14:12] <bluetower> I'm not sure if I have the bcm4318 version 1 or 2
[14:14] <AcidRain2012> anyone?
[14:15] <Pharkas> hello, what do i need to do so that apache runs from my local IP 192.168.2.5 instead of 127.0.1.1, please?
[14:16] <winem> !listen
[14:16] <winem> wrong channel, sorry
[14:17] <AcidRain2012> how can i change what drivers are being used?
[14:18] <trijntje> AcidRain2012: go to software & updates -> Additional drivers
[14:18] <AcidRain2012> what is that called?
[14:18] <AcidRain2012> im using the KDE shell
[14:19] <bluetower> AcidRain2012, you can also do it from the console using : sudo modprobe -r driver    to remove             or             sudo modprobe driver            to add
[14:20] <AcidRain2012> bluetower, better yet, why would driver STOP a working setup from working
[14:21] <bluetower> AcidRain2012, if you go to the: run program and enter    software-properties-gtk     it will bring up the additional drivers if you cant find it in the menus
[14:21] <AcidRain2012> hmmm... no additional drivers found at al
[14:21] <bluetower> ?
[14:21] <JuJuBee> How do I completely remove mysql-server so if I reinstall? I tried purge but don't get prompted to set the admin user password for mysql
[14:21] <bluetower> JuJuBee, : sudo apt-get purge mysql-server or installname
[14:21] <AcidRain2012> i DID have a projector and a tv running on 1 box. the projector has stopped being detected after about 6 months of working great! how can i determine what may have cuased this?
[14:22] <bluetower> sudo apt-get purge mysql-server*
[14:23] <JuJuBee> bluetower: I did that but when I reinstall mysql-server I dont get prompt to set password for admin user
[14:24] <labsin> Pharkas, hte configs are in /etc/apache. You could google for info, it should already contain an example
[14:25] <Amoz> JuJuBee, try dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server maybe?
[14:25] <bluetower> JuJuBee, dont know I've never played with mysql
[14:26] <bluetower> AcidRain2012, how is it connected what type of video connection?
[14:27] <JuJuBee> dpkg did something but not prompt.  Guess I will just set the root password
[14:27] <AcidRain2012> hdmi (detected as DVI), and VGA
[14:27] <AcidRain2012> bluetower, i rly dont care how its detected. but it WAS working. worked for at least 6 months straight
[14:27] <bluetower> is it not detecting it at all?
[14:27] <AcidRain2012> no sir
[14:28] <AcidRain2012> bluetower, there is a DVI option in display settings. its greyed out. that is what i was using
[14:28] <AcidRain2012> bluetower, i just had to go there an enable it. its greyed out. and says "disabled"
[14:28] <bluetower> thats getting out of the range that I can help. I dont know enough to list commands that may force a responce
[14:29] <bluetower> I'm assuming you have dont the typical, power cycle and re-plugging the cable
[14:29] <bluetower> done
[14:30] <bluetower> AcidRain2012, the only idea I can offer is to try a live disk image and see if a FRESH system detects the projector. if it does then you know you have a software issue on your current system.
[14:32] <AcidRain2012> =(((((((((((((((((((((((
[14:32] <YokoBR> Hey guys, i'm having some trouble with a dell inspiron with discrete ati gpu

[14:33] <hualet_deepin> bluetower: what's funny about ati?
[14:34] <bluetower> I've watched so many come in here with the same issue including me. but few nvidia SOS's
[14:35] <bluetower> my ati video card is only 3 years old and is considered DNR by ati

[14:36] <bluetower> hum

[14:37] <hiker0027> how to install custom OS from iso in recovery mode?
[14:38] <bluetower> any one know how I could list my wifi card exact details? http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers   according to the list on the page I have one of 2 versions and each one takes a different driver.

[14:41] <Mvdevnull> hello, i upgrade an Ubuntu server from 12.04 to 14.04.1 and encounter some issue with apache2, seems caused by passenger http://paste.ubuntu.com/8188151/ any trick?
[14:42] <hiker0027> bluetower ... how to install custom OS from iso in recovery mode?
[14:42] <hualet_deepin> bluetower: i can not use a mouse because if i plug a mouse in my computer, my computer will panic in about half an hour.
[14:45] <bluetower> ahh figured it out :    lspci -nn -d 14e4:          got me the info I needed
[14:50] <bluetower> hualet_deepin, thats the wierdest issue I've seen in some time
[14:50] <bluetower> hualet_deepin, if you boot your computer with a live disk does it run with a mouse fine? if so you have some really wierd mouse driver issue, prob corrupted files.
[14:51] <hualet_deepin> bluetower: i thought it was a usb related issue
[14:52] <bluetower> could be.... but again that could be hardware or software
[14:52] <bluetower> is this a wired or wireless mouse?
[14:53] <hualet_deepin> bluetower: both wired and wireless mouses
[14:53] <bluetower> could have low batteries as well
[14:54] <hualet_deepin> my computer doesn't contain a bluetooth adaptor, so i need a receiver even if i use a wireless mouse
[14:57] <SuperLag> I came asking questions yesterday, because I broke things on my system by trying to compile the current python from source, and I had it overwrite the system python. I thought, for sure, that I'd have to reinstall. Synaptic to the rescue. I reinstalled all the Python packages. Fixed. Then I encountered some odd UI issues, that were resolved by moving some folders out of ~/.config/ and having the system recreate them.
[14:58] <SuperLag> Having to figure this out on my own, *without* reinstalling the system, was a VERY good experience.
[14:59] <neurosis> SuperLag nice
[14:59] <rydhwan> hi
[15:00] <rydhwan> Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/  ?
[15:00] <SuperLag> neurosis: one of the morals of the story - don't mess with system-provided stuff. If you're going to tinker, use /usr/local/, or a VM.
[15:00] <SchrodingersScat> rydhwan: check to see if any other program for package management is running
[15:01] <rydhwan> how ?
[15:01] <SuperLag> neurosis: the other moral of the story - learn how to fix stuff yourself *without* resorting to simply reinstalling the system. ;)
[15:01] <neurosis> SuperLag I love it when things work out right
[15:02] <BunsenBurner> hello everyone, I am constantly having browser-cursor freezes at varying levels of activity. I checked ram, memtest shows ok. I checked the syslog, too; interestingly, it shows only records of the behaviour of the mobile broadband. could you have hints for me, please?
[15:02] <neurosis> SuperLag so true
[15:02] <SchrodingersScat> rydhwan: what were you doing?  Can use "ps aux" or system monitor, or top, htop, probably some others.  I would expect an error like that if you had synaptic open and then tried to use apt-get, or aptitude is open, etc.
[15:03] <neurosis> BunsenBurner what browser
[15:03] <terminator> How to dual boot suse and ubuntu in xen ?
[15:05] <terminator> Suse will remain standalone and ubuntu will run as vsos
[15:06] <BunsenBurner> neurosis, it is firefox. but I tried other (second) browsers, and had freezes with them, too. If I used any other program instead of the browser (while the browser and maybe 1-2 other not-so-big programs were open) it froze, too.
[15:07] <BunsenBurner> it even happened that freeze came with 2 programs open, one being a browser with 1 open tab
[15:07] <terminator>  Anyone?
[15:07] <BunsenBurner> but the latter is not the regular case
[15:09] <neurosis> BunsenBurner I truly don't know someone else is going to have to help you sorry
[15:09] <BunsenBurner> neurosis, no problems, it is a curious case anyway, thank you
[15:10] <terminator> Anyone?
[15:11] <SuperLag> terminator: simply repeating yourself isn't going to help
[15:11] <SuperLag> terminator: you're going to have to be patient and wait to see if someone else knows the answer
[15:11] <terminator> Allright.
[15:15] <GnomeD_> My display resolution changes automaticall after system restart. I am using full HD monitor but due to some reason, I want to change lower resolution. When changed from system settings, lower resolution remains only for a session. After restart, it again changes to full HD. I am using ubuntu 14.04.1 gnome shell version.
[15:25] <ahklerner1> ok i got the ftp,glusterfs,apache,php setup and configured on these nodes

[15:47] <camtron> Is there a way to get LibreOffice to actually use the global menu bar in Unity? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.

[15:54] <camtron> I tried 14.04. It runs slow on my computer.

[16:22] <gabrielts> HEIL
[16:22] <expunge> Gurpartap: a minor revision
[16:22] <expunge> gabrielts: zig
[16:22] <gabrielts> what?
[16:24] <Gurpartap> expunge: will such incremental updates keep coming on LTS release?
[16:24] <Gurpartap> revisions, if that’s the word
[16:25] <expunge> Gurpartap: historically no
[16:25] <expunge> AIUI the .1 reflects fixes to the initial release that were just missed
[16:25] <expunge> making it work as intended
[16:26] <expunge> and after that it's just ordinary package updates
[16:26] <Gurpartap> i see
[16:26] <expunge> the .1 is a version for the install media
[16:26] <Gurpartap> I see some lxc bug fixes.
[16:26] <Gurpartap> Concerns me since I’ll be using docker
[16:26] <carldani> Is there any fixed process for automatically picking linux kernel fixes from the stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list into the trusty update kernels? I own a Crucial M550 1 TB SSD which needs this fix from mainline to avoid data corruption:
[16:26] <carldani> https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2a13772a144d2956a7fedd18685921d0a9b8b783
[16:27] <expunge> Gurpartap: what concerns you?
[16:28] <Gurpartap> expunge: That I should consider using 14.04.1 while I still have the chance to make the choice.
[16:29] <Gurpartap> The change log for .1 mentions some LXC bug fixes. And I’m inclined to use it because of that (as I’ll be using docker which relies on LXC)
[16:29] <expunge> Gurpartap: it's for install media
[16:29] <expunge> Gurpartap: you can get what amounts to 14.04.1 if you've already installed 14.04
[16:30] <Gurpartap> Okay
[16:30] <Gurpartap> Makes sense
[16:30] <Gurpartap> *blush*
[16:30] <expunge> =)
[16:30] <Gurpartap> haha :)
[16:37] <YokoBR> guys, please, i need help to install the ati proprietary drive :(
[16:38] <BunsenBurner>  hello again, I was cut off when I just asked this question, due to the same problem I referred to. could you maybe help, please? I am constantly having browser-cursor freezes at varying levels of activity. I checked ram, memtest shows ok. I checked the syslog, too; interestingly, it shows only records of the behaviour of the mobile broadband.
[16:38] <YokoBR> driver*
[16:39] <BunsenBurner> but only after this last freeze, I see some more log reports shortly before I power-shut the computer.
[16:45] <yaowenrui> hello
[16:45] <Xealo> I switched to i3, now I don't have sound anymore
[16:45] <yaowenrui> what is i3
[16:45] <Xealo> i3 the window-manager
[16:45] <Xealo> http://i3wm.org
[16:48] <cfhowlett> Gurpartap, the command for 14.04 >>> 14.04.1 would be sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:50] <emx> cfhowlett, i am looking for a free linux program that can convert or import mpp (microsoft project) files.
[16:50] <Diomedes> Hey, I want to install Moonlight on my Ubuntu. The moonlight page says the current version is 4 preview 1.
[16:50] <Diomedes> In the software center I found this: libmono-wcf3.0a-cil 3.2.8+dfsg-4ubuntu1
[16:50] <Diomedes> Is this the one I am looking for or is there another way to install Moonlight?
[16:50] <cfhowlett> emx, good luck with that.  I remember looking for the same last year - to my great frustration.  if no answer here ask in ##linux
[16:51] <emx> cfhowlett, there is a simple solution: paper an pencil
[16:51] <emx> ^^
[16:51] <Gurpartap> cfhowlett: Okay
[16:51] <Gurpartap> cfhowlett: Thank you!
[16:52] <cfhowlett> Gurpartap, happy2help
[16:53] <EternalScholar> I am booting from a USB ubuntu 14.04 and whenever I do try without installing from Unetbootin it automatically logs me into an account. How do I stop this?
[16:55] <MXD789> Hello can someone help me with storing the ssl-certificate? I get a file permission error when trying to add the files to /etc/ssl
[17:01] <AlexPortable> How do I disable ' on the s?
[17:08] <yaowenrui> how to change the window manager on xubuntu
[17:08] <nibbler_> yaowenrui: install what you feel like, chose it at logon
[17:08] <BunsenBurner>  hello again, I was cut off when I just asked this question, due to the same problem I referred to. could you maybe help, please? I am constantly having browser-cursor freezes at varying levels of activity. I checked ram, memtest shows ok. I checked the syslog, too; interestingly, it shows only records of the behaviour of the mobile broadband.
[17:08] <yaowenrui> thanks
[17:09] <zhianguo> dajiahao
[17:09] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: you mean like, your browser works, but in an input-field the curser gets stuck, so you can't type?
[17:09] <zhianguo> 大家好

[17:10] <gprz_> Hello all, I would like to ask how to get a registration code for linux mint community?? They inform about chat but not even a clue about network or channel where to ask...
[17:11] <nibbler_> gprz_: this is ubuntu here, ask in mint for mint
[17:11] <SchrodingersScat> gprz_: this is ubuntu, not affiliated with whatever mint does.  No idea what registration code you could be talking about.  Take it up with #linux-mint
[17:11] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ no, if I'm working with browser, it freezes, and often the cursor follows suit, too. but other programs do the same. so it is basically a cursor freeze (screen graying) when a small group of programs are on.
[17:11] <SchrodingersScat> !mint | gprz_
[17:12] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: so when on mobile data your system freezes? how do you go on mobile data?
[17:12] <BunsenBurner> i.e. feed reader or mail client freezes, too
[17:13] <EternalScholar> I am booting 14.04 from a Flash drive and whenever I do it automatically logs into some sort of live/guest account how do I stop that?
[17:13] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ I didnt understand the question
[17:13] <gprz_> cheers guys :)
[17:13] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: might be a driver issue, try to access a text console (ssh'ing to your box, ctrl-alt-f1, using some sysrq-magic etc) and see dmesg
[17:13] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: it only happens when you use mobile internet? what kind of mobile internet, and how do you connect to it?
[17:13] <AlexPortable> How do I disable ' on the s?
[17:14] <AlexPortable> When i lock my screen, it shows 'switch user', how can i hide this button?
[17:14] <cfhowlett> BunsenBurner, I'm going to guess that your mobile data itself is causing the problem; blocked dialog, etc.  if this ONLY happens on mobile .. that would be telling.
[17:14] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ no, it happened on wireless network, too.
[17:15] <BunsenBurner> cfhowlett, no, it happened on wireless network, too.
[17:15] <alpha> hi
[17:15] <Guest57114> hi
[17:16] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, it'll be in light-locker configurations - sorry, don't know more than that.  SHOULD be doable via gui however.
[17:16] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: your descriptions are not helpful. first you point out it only happens on broadband. and on your browser. than you say it happens on wifi and other apps, too. can't help you, sorry.
[17:16] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ I didnt say that it happens only on broadband
[17:17] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ I said the logs show only the records of the broadband connection
[17:17] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: "interestingly, it shows only records of the behaviour of the mobile broadband."
[17:17] <nibbler_> BunsenBurner: oh well... what do the logs say?
[17:17] <BunsenBurner> nibbler_ yes, that's what I just said
[17:19] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, see the lightdm article   http://ubuntulook.com/2014/08/27/lightdm-how-to-disable-the-user-list-or-guest-session/
[17:19] <BunsenBurner> they say a lot. maybe I should paste them
[17:21] <BunsenBurner> can anyone help please?
[17:22] <cfhowlett> !paste | BunsenBurner
[17:22] <AlexPortable> cfhowlett: that doesn't really shows me how to remove 'change user' from lockscren
[17:24] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, sorry, that's the closest thing I could find.  As I said: lightlocker ... something
[17:26] <AlexPortable> ok
[17:26] <AlexPortable> How do I disable ' on the s?
[17:27] <BunsenBurner> cfhowlett, these are the regular modem-related logs that I mentioned, which makes up the entire logs (!): http://paste.ubuntu.com/8189387/ only at the moment of shutdown (guessing from the time stamp) these logs followed http://paste.ubuntu.com/8189405/
[17:27] <RedDeath> hello
[17:28] <BunsenBurner> the shutdown was a forced one that I did with power button upon freeze
[17:30] <cfhowlett> BunsenBurner, start with trouble shooting "Failed" stuff then move on to <warn>.  I suspect your issue is in there.  I'm a bit concerned that you'rs is the only report I've heard of that specific failure type ... leads me back to suspect your machine.  Sorry, I can't suggest anything more definitive.
[17:33] <xealo> I'm running 14.04, after installing i3wm I lost audio. After some tinkering 2 audio devices now show up (built-in, hdmi) before it was just dummy output. What could be configured wrongly?
[17:33] <BunsenBurner> cfhowlett, in case of the machine, which part could be failing? ram shows no errors.
[17:33] <xealo> this is a lenovo thinkpad x240
[17:40] <BunsenBurner> someone had told me that it could be a wireless power saving problem, and advised me to apply a command. but the problem persists
[17:41] <justin___> Hello
[17:41] <hakermania> justin___, hello
[17:41] <justin___> Ok so i have a really stupid question. How do you install a tar.gz file?
[17:42] <justin___> I couldnt find anything online that made sense.
[17:42] <justin___> I just installed ubuntu yesterday
[17:42] <eeee> justin___: what are you trying to install?
[17:43] <justin___> Adobe Flash and also Wine.
[17:43] <tonyt> tar.gz is like a zip file. it needs to be extracted
[17:43] <loa> justin___, wine and flash exists in ubuntu repository.
[17:43] <samthewildone> is that file a source file; I assume it is.
[17:44] <tonyt> [10:41am] <justin___> Ok so i have a really stupid question. How do you install a tar.gz file? [10:43am] <tonyt> tar.gz is like a zip file. it needs to be extracted
[17:45] <tonyt> you dont install a *.tar.gz. you extract it
[17:45] <justin___> Well Wine wont install from the Ubuntu repository and i havnt checked for Flash. and where do you extract it?
[17:45] <eeee> justin___: why won't it install?
[17:45] <tonyt> ubuntu comes with the proper app to extract a *.tar.gz file
[17:46] <tonyt> example to type in the terminal would be tar -zxvf filename/tar/gz
[17:46] <tonyt> err example to type in the terminal would be tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
[17:47] <justin____> Sorry i closed chromium on accedent
[17:48] <eeee> justin____: why doesn't wine install?
[17:48] <justin____> When i try to get Wine from Ubuntu Software Center, it says its not found.
[17:49] <eeee> justin____: you have to select the universe repository
[17:49] <loa> you enable addtiotional software sources.
[17:49] <eeee> justin____: dash > software & updates > universe
[17:50] <eeee> justin____:  check multiverse too for flash, i think
[17:50] <eeee> !find flash
[17:50] <eeee> !info flashplugin-installer
[17:51] <BunsenBurner> aside from that, isn't that totally strange that a 'syslog' is made up of  endless rows of only 3 different status messages?
[17:52] <justin____> Ok im not seing anything about the universe repository..
[17:52] <BunsenBurner> the system has a few applications on, but none of them are shown
[17:52] <eeee> justin____: it's the community maintained software .... (universe)
[17:55] <Apteryx> Hello :) I'm trying to invert the buttons of my left hand mouse. I found how to do it with xinput. Now I'm trying to make these 2 lines run at every login (of any users), so I put them inside /etc/profile. They are run, but it seems not in the shell of the login, because they have no effect whatsoever... Why is that? I'm using Ubunt 14.04 with Unity.
[17:56] <sdau> If I downloaded a set of packages/dependencies with apt-get -d and later install them by dkpg -i, will these get updated by apt later on?
[17:56] <justin____> Ok so i think i have the universe repository.
[17:56] <eeee> justin____: select multiverse too
[17:56] <eeee> ( for flash )
[17:57] <Apteryx> Or maybe it is run... but the peripherals were not yet detected!
[17:57] <justin____> Im just sayin that i have it because i read that it was on here by default.
[17:58] <justin____> I didnt actualy see it anywhere...
[17:58] <Apteryx> This would explain why the xinput lines in /etc/profile has no effect.
[17:58] <eeee> justin____: i don't think universe is selected by default..
[17:59] <justin____> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/configuration.html
[18:01] <eeee> justin____: weird
[18:01] <eeee> try this cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep universe
[18:02] <eeee> paste the first line here
[18:02] <justin____> grep universe?
[18:02] <eeee> open a terminal, and type the whole line
[18:02] <Xeago> I installed i3, but now my sound isn't working anymore.
[18:03] <Xeago> Previously the only sound output device was dummy-output
[18:03] <Xeago> now I have both built-in and hdmi after some force reloading of alsa
[18:03] <Xeago> but still no audio
[18:03] <Xeago> this is on a lenovo thinkpad x240
[18:03] <justin____> # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
[18:03] <jhutchins> eeee: Oh, naughty: cat to grep.
[18:04] <qwerkus> hello; i plugged a gtx 750 ti onto my ubuntu system, and have now a black screen of death. How do I reset gfx drivers ?
[18:04] <jhutchins> grep universe /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:04] <eeee> justin____: that "#" means its commented out, so it's not enabled
[18:05] <eeee> justin____: i guess that info is wrong, or only for servers
[18:05] <justin____> ah ok. one moment.
[18:05] <Beldar> qwerkus, What was there before?
[18:05] <eeee> jhutchins: yeah that would work as well :)
 intel igpu
[18:05] <justin____> Cant un-comment it becuse when i go to save the file, it says permision denied.
[18:06] <Beldar> qwerkus, You can do it all from a tty or do a nomodeset boot and from the desktop probably.
[18:06] <Beldar> !nomodeset | qwerkus
[18:06] <xangua> or you could just open Software Center. Edit menu, Sources and enable them from there justin____
 ok, will do
[18:07] <eeee> justin____: you need to open it with privileges, so type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:07] <Beldar> qwerkus, That is about all I know in tis area.
[18:07] <xangua> eeee: making the easy harder¿ ;)
[18:07] <Beldar> this*
[18:07] <eeee> justin____: xangua already told him too, he says he can't find it any where
[18:08] <eeee> xangua: trust me i'm not, he wanted to compile from source originally :)
[18:09] <justin____> typed in my password but it didnt open.
[18:10] <eeee> justin____: ok, go to software & updates again
[18:10] <tekkitindisguise> manjaro is better
[18:11] <xangua> !ot | tekkitindisguise
[18:11] <justin____> ok there
[18:11] <tekkitindisguise> Install Manjaro Linux
[18:11] <eeee> justin____: do you see a list of repositories?
[18:12] <Beldar> tekkitindisguise, Don't the have their own channel/dungeon.
[18:12] <justin____> Well shit i just found universe and its alredy selected. sorry.
[18:12] <eeee> ok
[18:12] <wheatthin> justin___, please watch the language
[18:12] <eeee> is multiverse selected too ?
[18:12] <tekkitindisguise> I used Ubuntu a while and I didn't like the sloppy code and heavy default DE. But I see why You like it. Ubuntu's great for some people. Just not me.
[18:12] <eeee> you need that for flash
[18:12] <justin____> yeah
[18:12] <eeee> ok good
[18:13] <eeee> exit
[18:13] <eeee> and then open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update
[18:13] <eeee> wait
[18:13] <wheatthin> tekkitindisguise, that's great, but how is that pertinent?
[18:13] <justin____> wait?
[18:13] <eeee> justin____: try to uncheck them, and then check them
[18:13] <Beldar> tekkitindisguise, It is a based on arch an easily run OS your not proclaiming anything but your ineptness.
[18:13] <eeee> (just remembered they are commented out in sources.list )
[18:14] <wheatthin> Beldar, waste of breath :P
[18:14] <Beldar> yeah
[18:14] <Xeago> I lost audio after switching to i3, what could be the problem? On a thinkpad x240
[18:14] <justin___> it wont let me uncheck them.
[18:15] <eeee> justin___: what do you mean? it asks for the password?
 thanks: worked perfectly. Now I have to figure how to install nvidia drivers...
[18:15] <justin___> No i click the button but it stays checked
[18:16] <wheatthin> I've been using ubuntu for years now, and months on this machine.. I have no complaints about it really which is why I choose to help others here. I am a hackintosh person myself, but seem to get along just fine without it.
[18:16] <Beldar> qwerkus, Lots here know this, I would start with the additional drivers tab in software & updates after running a apt-get update upgrade.
[18:16] <justin___> Now that window and the terminal just closed on their own and i cant open it back up.
[18:16] <eeee> justin___: ok,
[18:16] <wheatthin> is it possible for my computer to automatically use bad modules on DIMMs and keep itself running?
[18:17] <eeee> justin___: ok
[18:17] <wheatthin> I didn't get any errors when I ran the memtest86+.. but even my bios claims there's only 6gb of ram
[18:17] <wheatthin> There's 2x 4gb ram modules and 2x 1gb modules..
[18:18] <computa_mike> hi - question about ffmpeg2theora - how can I create a video of - say 5 seconds - from a single frame ?
[18:18] <wheatthin> lol you mean like a gif?
[18:18] <eeee> justin___: open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , check if the universe and multiverse repositories are there, and if they are commented out, edit, press ctrl+o to save then ctrl+x to exit, then type sudo apt-get update
[18:18] <Beldar> wheatthin, You are missing 4 gigs right, must be one of those.
[18:19] <computa_mike> wheatthin, yeah - except a single frame animated gif - it's for blocking a story board animatio
[18:19] <qwerkus> Beldar: sure. Unfortunately the additional drivers panel keeps crashing; I guess I will have to use nvidia bins
[18:19] <justin___> nano command not found
[18:19] <Beldar> qwerkus, Crashing how, and have you run a update to have the card seen?
[18:20] <eeee> justin___: type cat /etc/issue and paste here
[18:20] <wheatthin> justin___, it's default.. lol I dunno how it's not found unless you messed with your user profile and aren't using /bin/bash as your shell
[18:20] <computa_mike> wheatthin, so the plan is to take a photo of the storyboard frame and create a mini movie for that scene (consisting of basically just the frame).  When we finish the shot we can replace the OGV file with the finished scene and re-reder
[18:20] <Sillopotatis> Hey
[18:20] <tobiasBora> Bonjour !
[18:20] <Sillopotatis> I'm trying to log onto my other Ubuntu PC through OpenSSH
 update done; shows "searching for drivers" and than crashes; doesn't seem to recon the card
[18:20] <Sillopotatis> I want a desktopview of it
[18:21] <justin___> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[18:21] <Sillopotatis> Where do I turn for a guide, or some basic info?
[18:21] <Sillopotatis> Ubuntu 14.04
[18:21] <Beldar> qwerkus, Not sure, I would hate to mislead you.
[18:21] <tobiasBora> Je voulais vous demander, j'ai une carte Wifi non reconnue par défaut par Linux, j'ai utilisé et compilé des drivers produits par la société qui a fait la carte et ça semble fonctionner (j'arrive à me connecter sur une Wifi classique)
[18:22] <Beldar> !fr | tobiasBora
[18:22] <tobiasBora> Beldar: Oh sorry, I though I was on ubuntu-fr !
[18:22] <eeee> justin___: did you checksum the iso you used?
[18:22] <sarahS> to associate a recently purchased domain with my server, do I have to set up my own nameserver? or is there a way i can register with one?
[18:22] <Beldar> tobiasBora, heh, if you speak english your fine here.
[18:22] <sarahS> this Bind stuff is a bit out of my league
[18:22] <justin___> um....... maybe? i dont know.
[18:22] <wheatthin> sarahS, you can rent a domain name with any dns server like domain.com or dyndns.org
[18:23] <eeee> justin___: ok, do you have the .iso file you used somewhere?
[18:23] <wheatthin> sarahS, but you have multiple subdomains servers, you're going to have to run something locally if on a network of servers
[18:23] <Xeago> I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I lost audio after switching to i3, what could be the problem? On a thinkpad x240
[18:23] <Masterjedi688> Hi guys
[18:24] <Masterjedi688>  I need someone to talk me through on connecting to the Internet via a wireless router please
[18:24] <wheatthin> Xeago, is your sound preference reported dummy output?
[18:24] <justin___> I installed linux using crouton and i installed precise and it updated to trusty. or maybe the other way around.
[18:25] <sarahS> wheatthin: I've purchased a domain with a a hosting company I have other services with…the admin for it allows setting nameservers and providing the ip (I assume the ip of the nameserver, not my local machine)
[18:25] <sarahS> wheatthin: so you are saying that yes, i do have to install and configure bind?
[18:26] <Masterjedi688> Anyone?
[18:26] <Xeago> wheatthin: it did before, I tried troubleshooting it, now it shows 2 output devices, hdmi and builtin
[18:26] <wheatthin> sarahS, if you want to reference another server not hosted by that domain, yes.
[18:27] <wheatthin> Xeago, well you need to select the built-in option.. hdmi will be to your graphics card
[18:27] <Masterjedi688> Never mind then
[18:27] <Xeago> wheatthin: that's done
[18:27] <Masterjedi688> Gtg
[18:27] <wheatthin> Xeago, and still no output?
[18:27] <justin___> hello?
[18:28] <sarahS> wheatthin: you mean, not hosted by that service provider? I can point the domain to whatever name server I want
[18:28] <Xeago> wheatthin: Correct. The full name of the audio device is "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo"
[18:28] <wheatthin> Xeago, then I'd go open up a terminal, type "alsamixer" and make sure nothing is muted
[18:29] <Xeago> wheatthin: "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory"
[18:29] <wheatthin> "alsamixer"
[18:29] <Xeago> I ran it as root, now it gives me a gui, let me see
[18:29] <wheatthin> Xeago, it shouldn't need root to launch..
[18:30] <wheatthin> type "groups" and see if you're apart of audio group
[18:30] <Xeago> no audio there
[18:30] <Xeago> (root also can't play audio if I try it with aplay, or whatever the command was)
[18:32] <Xeago> I added myself to that group, should I restart the computer, or reload alsa?
[18:32] <wheatthin> Xeago, My sound had went out, but showed Dummy Output. made me install some DKMS driver, that wasn't needed.. and update later and it was fixed. Can I see the guide you followed for troublehsooting?
[18:32] <wheatthin> Xeago, no, just relogin
[18:33] <Xeago> I don't have them anymore, I didn't install a driver, I ended up force-reloading alsa a few times

[18:45] <BunsenBurner> how can I check hardware components of my computer except for hdd and ram, which I checked already?
[18:45] <BunsenBurner> to find out what goes wrong and results in freezes
[18:46] <YamakasY_> thi is strange, 7 is installed and it complains:  Depends: libtomcat6-java (>= 6.0.20-7) but it is not going to be installed
[18:51] <userings> BunsenBurner, the other components can't be checked with software.
[18:51] <BunsenBurner> userings, ok, thank you
[18:52] <BunsenBurner> does this output say anything relevant to a problem about my wireless: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8189996/ ?

[18:58] <cantoma> hey guys, I want to start a service which will be listening on some port for connections. At the moment I start this service by typing some command in a console. I want to avoid this by starting this service automatically after booting the system. In which files should I include my script command?
[18:58] <Masterjedi688> Can someone walk me through on how to connect to the Internet via a router?  How do I set it up?  I'm on my iPad right now.  It's a D Link router
[18:59] <eeee> cantoma: do you want it to be run by root?
[18:59] <cantoma> eeee, yes
[18:59] <Masterjedi688> Not sure
[19:00] <eeee> cantoma: /etc/rc.local
[19:00] <Masterjedi688> Would running it by root be easier?
[19:01] <cantoma> eeee, but is there a file where I can just write my script command?
[19:01] <guest-iNek7r> Hii all
[19:01] <guest-iNek7r> i am in guest session
[19:01] <cantoma> eeee, ok that is the file

[19:07] <tonyt> what was the question
[19:07] <guest-iNek7r> I can't access my root account
[19:08] <guest-iNek7r> i am in guest account
[19:08] <tonyt> you got a bad password?
[19:08] <guest-iNek7r> no my keyboard isn't working
[19:08] <guest-iNek7r> I don;t know why..
[19:08] <guest-iNek7r> yesterday it was finely working but now some of the keys arn't working
[19:08] <tonyt> use a different keyboard or redo the os would be my advise
[19:09] <tonyt> you can buy a new keybaord for 10 bucks in the US. not sure where you are located
[19:09] <guest-iNek7r> i have neumeric password and neumeric keys are only not working
[19:09] <expunge> a new awful keyboard =)
[19:09] <tonyt> it works :)
[19:09] <guest-iNek7r> No, i think it would be my os problem
[19:09] <guest-iNek7r> i am using lubuntu
[19:10] <mitchicus> You could get by with on screen keyboard if you are a mouse wizard
[19:10] <q_a_z_steve> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso Will someone go grab this and tell me what md5 you get?
[19:10] <tonyt> http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[19:11] <tonyt> read that guest-iNek7r
[19:11] <tonyt> it may help
[19:12] <guest-iNek7r> but why these keys ar not working???
[19:12] <tonyt> language seting for the keyboard geet changed some how? that would be my guess
[19:12] <tonyt> *get
[19:13] <guest-iNek7r> its en_US
[19:13] <tonyt> make sure its set for your location and region
[19:13] <tonyt> keys not working like they are supposed, then a setting may have gotten changed by accident etc
[19:13] <guest-iNek7r> How to set it again??
[19:14] <tonyt> im not on ubuntu right now. just making a suggection
[19:14] <guest-iNek7r> only my one to four keys are not woking and down and left arrow key
[19:14] <tonyt> but what you are describing can be what im refeering to
[19:14] <guest-iNek7r> Ohkk
[19:14] <tonyt> one psoibility that is
[19:15] <tonyt> look in the menu for the settings apppet
[19:15] <tonyt> you hsould be able to access what your looking for in htere
[19:17] <stalaktitas> anybody able to log in so skype anymore? wtf happen? everything that microsoft touches lately gets retarded
[19:18] <guest-iNek7r> tonyt, same problem no success
[19:18] <tonyt> k. with the keyborad not being bad, thats all i can think of
[19:18] <DJ_Unibob> It might be a linux issue, I'm connected to Skype, but that's in windows right now.  :/
[19:19] <stalaktitas> same in win 8 at my work... it says can't connect to skype and that
[19:20] <mitchicus> If you haven't already, try disconnecting and reconnecting your keyboard, often works wonders
[19:20] <stalaktitas> alternatively it offers to log in with ms account which i do nto have, nor want one
[19:20] <userings> stalaktias, Micro$oft just cuts off the old Skype client versions...
[19:21] <userings> In order to update your client and watch their ads... all around new versions interface.
[19:22] <Beldar> userings, abusing MS only lowers your street cred even here.
[19:23] <Xentinel> can someone tell me what the recommended Ubuntu way of making and installing new libvirt VMs are at the moment? I know there's virt-manager, but if I was to do it entirely through terminal. I've had a look at JeOSVMbuilder and Ubuntu-vm-builder, but both seem to be outdated, so what's the proper way?
[19:23] <userings> And the excuse was that old versions are possibly security danger... M$ style, nothing new under the sun. However, their ads servers can be blocked with firewall or even with pointers t0 127.0.0.1 for all ad domains in hosts file...
[19:23] <expunge> Xentinel: libvirt doesn't come with its own executables?
[19:23] <expunge> dpkg -L libvirt | grep bin
[19:24] <userings> Skype versions for Linux are still in 4.x range... they are ad-free, but, who knows for future...
[19:25] <expunge> there's nothing in particular forcing you to use such a locked down client
[19:27] <stalaktitas> ok, but official download of skype 4.3 does not want to install with ubuntu software center, install king of finishes, but version stays the same...
[19:27] <Xentinel> expunge, sure there's virsh, where I can import xml files, but I was thinking something a little less troublesome
[19:27] <sydney> Ok,i created a swap partion on a seperate hd,but havent done anything to the original one. How do i disable the original one,and enable the one on a seperate drive?
[19:28] <userings> stalaktitas, try install it from .deb packages that are available on skype.com.
[19:28] <guest-iNek7r> tonyt, how to check my key pressses
[19:28] <sydney> permanently :)
[19:28] <guest-iNek7r> from /dev dir
[19:29] <qwerkus> sydney> edit your /etc/fstab
[19:30] <sydney> And what do i do?
[19:30] <Elm> Installing ubuntu server as the only OS on a machine. When it goes to reboot I get blinking cursor, no grub or nothing. I've installed server four or five times before with no problem. Is there a GRUB question I'm missing?
[19:31] <stalaktitas> userings, well thats what i'm doing, dowloading the file, it offers to open it with ubuntu software center, shows install button, i press it, it ask for admin pass, i'm entering it, it shows the process that its installing, after the process finishes, the install button still says install... i just do not get it
[19:31] <Beldar> Elm, Is there more than one HD?
 open as admin (sudo), find the swap line, change the disk id to the new one, and you're done
[19:32] <sydney> oh
[19:32] <userings> stalaktitas, you also have to enable MultiArch with ' sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386'.
[19:32] <userings> *should
[19:33] <Elm> Beldar, no, one HDD. I am installing from a USB stick and I was wondering if it was somehow doing it to there but I don't think it is. I'd been using Guided - Use Entire Disk. Partiioning mode. I'm sitting at that screen now.
 and plz, before rebooting, check that it actually works with sudo mount -a
[19:34] <Elm> Beldar, additionally.. the partitioner makes #1 EFI Boot, #2 EXT4, #3 swap. And that drive is sdf with sde being the USB.
[19:34] <kowalski> how can i change my nick?
[19:34] <sydney> Whats that do?
[19:34] <sydney> kowalski: ask on #freenode
[19:35] <sydney> quem: How?
[19:35] <kowalski> it's my first time here, sydney
 man mount: -a mounts all devices listed in fstab
[19:35] <sydney> oops :P
[19:35] <expunge> kowalski: /nick foo
[19:36] <sydney> so? It didnt show any issues...
[19:36] <foo> is my nick foo now?
[19:37] <expunge> foo: sure is
[19:37] <sydney> yes :)
[19:37] <qwerkus> lol  :)
[19:37] <stalaktitas> userings, just did it, same procedure, install button changes back to install after the process is over, skype is still 4.2... wth...
[19:37] <foo> whats does means foo, expunge and sydney?
[19:37] <foo> :D
[19:37] <sydney> quem: so,it mounted if no errors were shown?
[19:37] <expunge> foo: it's the universal first placeholder
[19:37] <expunge> foo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar
[19:37] <userings> stalaktitus, wait, what do you want to do at all?
[19:38] <foo> oh, thanks expunge! :D
[19:38] <expunge> foo: I wouldn't recommend using it as a nick =)
[19:38] <Beldar> Elm, I'm not up on uefi if it were me I would set it as legacy and make a msdos partition table and use the mbr, I assume this is not a apple computer.
[19:38] <qwerkus> sydney: than you are good to go. Alternatively, you can manually set swap via swapon/swapoff
[19:38] <stalaktitas> update my skype from 4.2 to the latest version that i'm dowloading from skype.com whitch is 4.3
[19:38] <foo> oh my god!
[19:38] <foo> haha
[19:39] <Elm> Beldar, it isn't it's a homebuilt. I was just trusting the auto partitioner :P
[19:39] <sydney> quem: i just dont want to have to do that ever time :)
 sure; that's what fstab is for
[19:39] <domsan> Hi guys, need some help setting up a backup script
[19:40] <userings> stalakitos, what happen when you try to install the packet from terminal?
[19:40] <userings> sudo dpkg -i skype* ?
[19:42] <TJ-> Elm: Beldar "blinking cursor" see https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader
[19:43] <stalaktitas> userings, it says: dpkg: warning: downgrading skype from 4.3.0.37-1 to 4.2.0.11-1   :D
[19:43] <userings> stalakitus, look at this: http://askubuntu.com/a/488062
[19:43] <stalaktitas> and once its done, its its still 4.2 once I oppen it
[19:44] <userings> First purge all old Skype versions and remove all folders associated with it.

[19:50] <interweb> Hi , I want to format my external hard drive from exFAT to FAT32 and I've looked at Ubuntu 14.04 Disks software and there is an option named "Compatable with all devices (FAT)" Does it format to FAT32 or other FAT versions ?
[19:50] <userings> stalakitos, is it works now?
[19:51] <stalaktitas> yes, did not work untill i did this: rm -rf ~/.Skype
[19:51] <stalaktitas> it would still open 4.2

[19:52] <stalaktitas> now it's all good, i'm using it now, yay :)
[19:52] <interweb> gutokowalski, Sorry ?
[19:52] <gutokowalski> how can i mention a user here?
[19:52] <userings> : )
[19:52] <stalaktitas> thank you
[19:53] <interweb> Is FAT in ubuntu 14.04 Disks means FAT32 or not ?
[19:53] <interweb> *Does
[19:53] <q_a_z_steve> gutokowalski: usually just typing their name (or TAB completing) will highlight them on their side. So that helps them wake up and see you are talking to them in a busy channel.
[19:54] <TJ-> interweb: test it on a small temporary block device
[19:54] <interweb> TJ-, I don't have any :/
[19:54] <pavillon> non scarica ubittorrent
[19:56] <gutokowalski> q_a_z_steve: thank you so much!
[19:56] <copystring> hi guys, i've got a problem with bridging 2 intefaces on my ubuntu pc. i've googled etc and not much good came up. anyone good at this?
[19:56] <q_a_z_steve> gutokowalski: I often work in #freenode to get even more of that stuff.
[19:56] <TJ-> interweb: "dd if=/dev/zero of=temp.img bs=512 count=1M && sudo losetup /dev/loop0 temp.img" - now you have a 512MB block device at "/dev/loop0" you can play with. To delete it: "sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0 && rm temp.img"
[19:57] <q_a_z_steve> "work" as in ask the staff and other IRC focused folk.

[19:59] <circ-user-q6P0P> hi all
[20:00] <circ-user-q6P0P> i have a question the me and a friend can't find the answer
[20:01] <cuddylier> Anyone know how I would ban: 184.106.237.219 - - [30/Aug/2014:21:34:54 +0100] "GET /?117265=734709 HTTP/1.0" 502 173 "-" "WordPress/3.3.2; http://theness.com/roguesgallery"
[20:01] <cuddylier> That with fail2ban? Anything that says WordPress
[20:01] <copystring> TJ-: yes, I've got the /etc/network/intefaces setup so it should do this on boot. ubuntu then waits for ages on boot and eventually starts without networking
[20:01] <cuddylier> I need to ban
[20:01] <circ-user-q6P0P> i was wondering if you can turn a genie in to a media system
[20:01] <TJ-> copystring: can you "pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces" ?
[20:02] <copystring> yes, hold on
[20:03] <gutokowalski> hey, guys, is plymouth bugged on your ubuntu installations?
[20:04] <copystring> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/ax4fY3sf
[20:05] <circ-user-q6P0P> any one have a clue on how to do this
[20:05] <qwerkus> ole: it's going to be a decade I use linux, and today is the first day I actually made use of the possibilty to boot an old kernel
[20:05] <TJ-> copystring: "bridge_ports" not "bridge-ports"
[20:05] <gutokowalski> every time i shut down my ubuntu 14.04 the display shows some informations about the task at that moment like "unmounted dev" etc
[20:06] <gutokowalski> is it normal?
[20:06] <Alexander_> yeah
[20:06] <gutokowalski> is not that a bug?
[20:06] <gutokowalski> =/
[20:07] <interweb> TJ-, Could you do it ? I am formating it for awhile and don't want to start over
[20:07] <copystring> TJ-: oh right. well I've also tried to strip the bridge down to just auto br0; iface br0 inet manual and that made no difference
[20:08] <TJ-> interweb: You can create the file anywhere, as per my example, it doesn't require a physical device. You should be able to start another instance of the tool you're using
[20:09] <circ-user-q6P0P> i was wondering if you can turn a genie in to a media system
[20:09] <circ-user-q6P0P> i was wondering if you can turn a genie in to a media system
[20:09] <circ-user-q6P0P> any one have a clue on how to do this
[20:09] <chloe> salut
[20:09] <TJ-> copystring: Well, it does depend on what the precise error is. If some services are waiting for the bridge interface to come up then any misconfiguration will cause the timeout at boot
[20:09] <chloe> salut
[20:09] <TJ-> !patience | circ-user-q6P0P
[20:10] <chloe> iuhuih
[20:10] <prohobo> halp, ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in webcam
[20:10] <circ-user-q6P0P> LOL okay
[20:10] <prohobo> what do?
[20:11] <prohobo> i installed cheese
[20:11] <prohobo> i installed gvnuview or whatever it's called
[20:11] <TJ-> copystring: how about using "bridge_maxwait"? See "man 5 bridge-utils-interfaces"
[20:12] <copystring> TJ-: yes, i thought i could use that. unfortunately that made no change either
[20:12] <bdunlap> Hi, everyone. Does anyone here have a problem trying to log into ubuntu forums? I am logging in successfully with my OpenID but the forums don't detect I'm logged in.
[20:12] <TJ-> copystring: Makes sense, since it's not the network scripts that are delaying, it is other services
[20:12] <gutokowalski> in windows system you don't see any information when you shut down the pc
[20:12] <ikonia> bdunlap: contact one of the forum admins
[20:13] <bdunlap> I tried, it said I had to be logged in to view the profile.
[20:13] <copystring> TJ-: it must be. i'm not sure where to take it from here though
[20:13] <ikonia> bdunlap: the guys in #ubuntuforums sometimes have some forum admins in there, worth checking
[20:13] <gutokowalski> in windows you only see the logoff screen when you shut down the pc
[20:13] <bdunlap> ikonia, thank you. I'll go there.
[20:14] <TJ-> copystring: First, get it working manually so "ifup br0" and "ifdown br0" work correctly, and any additional routing you need is also added. Once that works, on boot the interfaces file will be processed in the same way by "ifup -a"
[20:15] <TJ-> gutokowalski: Linux is a text console based OS, with the optional X windows GUI on top
[20:16] <gutokowalski> TJ-: i understand
[20:16] <prohobo> what can i do to make ubuntu recognize my webcam?
[20:17] <TJ-> gutokowalski: So on shutdown, the X server is stopped before other services, some of which will write messages to the console. Usually a 'splash' screen will make them invisible, but sometimes it is removed before some messages are written, so you get to see them
[20:17] <copystring> TJ-: does that mean when i do "ifup -a" it should hang while it's misconfigured?
[20:18] <TJ-> copystring: That depends :) If for example the service than causes the hang is an NFS mount, then simply adding "_netdev" as an option in fstab may well solve the issue
[20:18] <dw1> how do i view my grub settings again
[20:18] <dw1> thought it was dconf list or something
[20:19] <TJ-> dw1: "cat /etc/default/grub" ?
[20:19] <prohobo> can someone help me find a way to get ubuntu to recognize my webcam? i've searched the googles and found nothing useful
[20:19] <prohobo> or someone even
[20:20] <dw1> i want to list the config with the *'s next to the devices that are active in grub
[20:20] <TJ-> prohobo: show us "pastebinit <(lsusb && lspci -nn)"
[20:21] <gutokowalski> TJ-:  thank you! i understand now
[20:21] <copystring> TJ-: i see. i'm not so sure how to figure out what's causing the hang. i've looked in dmesg. i don't know where else i could look to figure out what's causing this
[20:21] <prohobo> TJ-: alright ty, btw pastebinit is cool
[20:22] <TJ-> dw1: That sounds like the grub-install reconfiguration, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
[20:22] <dw1> think it ws dconf-show
[20:22] <dw1> but its missing now :/
[20:22] <prohobo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190689/
[20:23] <gutokowalski> TJ-: do you think it's possible linux distros will fix that?
[20:23] <prohobo> could it be the unassigned class?
[20:24] <prohobo> nvm that's some kind of controller
[20:24] <TJ-> gutokowalski: There's nothing to fix - it is one of the strengths of Linux vs Windows - very useful logging/debug information generated from all services all the time. Makes troubleshooting and fixing fast and accurate
[20:25] <Elm> Grub installed to wrong drive (installed to USB instead of the HDD) how do I fix? I can get into the grub of the USB: "Install Ubuntu Server" "Rescue..." etc
[20:25] <gutokowalski> TJ-: oh, i got it. very good explanations!
[20:26] <totimkop1> hi, how do I install apt-file on ubuntu 12.04? :S I'm a bit puzzled I can't find the package with apt-cache...
[20:26] <gutokowalski> TJ-: you made my day! i lost some nights trying to understand it
[20:26] <gutokowalski> :D :)
[20:27] <trism> totimkop1: just: sudo apt-get install apt-file; although it is in universe, so maybe you have that disabled
[20:28] <TJ-> prohobo: It looks like 5986:055c Acer, Inc, vendor 5986 is: "The Acer Crystal Eye webcams are manufactured by Biso"
[20:28] <Elm> Nevermind I bet I figured it out.
[20:28] <prohobo> TJ-: where did you get that info?
[20:29] <prohobo> oh i see
[20:29] <TJ-> prohobo: show us "pastebinit <(lsusb -vd 5986:055c)"
[20:29] <Basketball> When I open a pptx file or whatever the default power point is, it open with that icon (second from the right) and a .docx open with the icon on the far right in launhcer. Why doesn't it open in the libre writer and impress icons?﻿

[20:29] <gutokowalski> hey, guys! we need to vote for TJ- for president! :D
[20:30] <gutokowalski> TJ- rules in the linux world! :D
[20:32] <prohobo> TJ-: got Couldn't open device, some information will be missing, but here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190745/
[20:32] <prohobo> this is really low level hardware stuff, is this really necessary?
[20:32] <TJ-> prohobo: Yes
[20:34] <prohobo> btw i appreciate the help TJ-
[20:34] <TJ-> prohobo: That information tells me the camera is USB Video Class compliant, which infers that the Linux UVC driver would be able to manage it, if the driver knew the device's ID - which it currently doesn't
[20:36] <prohobo> so can i set the driver's configuration to the ID through the shell?
[20:36] <prohobo> if there is a configuration even
[20:38] <TJ-> prohobo: No, unfortunately that functionality isn't there. Usually we have to send the device's USB ID and info (as we just pastebinned) to the mailing list of the uvcvideo developers, so they can add it into the Linux kernel
[20:39] <totimkop1> trism: how do I check if I have it disabled?
[20:40] <prohobo> alright thanks TJ-
[20:40] <prohobo> you used me to improve ubuntu
[20:40] <trism> totimkop1: software-properties-gtk; make sure Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe) is checked then run: sudo apt-get update; and try again
[20:40] <prohobo> and i'm okay with that
[20:41] <TJ-> prohobo: It might just work... does this show anything "lsmod | grep uvcvideo" ?
[20:41] <prohobo> yes
[20:41] <prohobo> i get 4 entries, or 4 lines
[20:42] <TJ-> prohobo: Good, that is the driver loaded. Now show me "pastebinit /var/log/desmg" please
[20:42] <Kirito_> Can I create a private network here and have my friends join? If someone can help me out I would appreciate it a lot.
[20:42] <expunge> Kirito_: /join #whatever
[20:42] <Kaiii> hey, any RetroArch gamers here?
[20:42] <TJ-> prohobo: uvcvideo wouldn't be loaded unless some device it manages is found, and the only thing would be the camera, unless you've got more than one camera
[20:42] <expunge> Kirito_: talk to #freenode if you want "permanent" ownership, otherwise just sitting in the channel takes care of it
[20:42] <SuperPetRalf> Just started RetoArch on a Pi
[20:42] <prohobo> TJ-: unable to read from /var/log/desmg
[20:43] <TJ-> prohobo: Sorry; my typo! "pastebinit /var/log/dmsg" please
[20:43] <copystring> TJ-: the bridge works now. pinging other members in the network doesn't work though. I assume it's because of missing routing. i didn't think i'd need routing for that
[20:43] <prohobo> no, just the builtin cam
[20:43] <TJ-> prohobo: Sorry; my typo again "" "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" please
[20:43] <prohobo> lol
[20:43] <prohobo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190821/
[20:44] <TJ-> copystring: depends on whether they're all in the same subnet
[20:44] <totimkop1> trism: I can't install that, it turns out I can't install python-pycurl which is a dependency for python-software-properites, which is a dependency for sofware-properties-gtk etc
[20:44] <totimkop1> trism: it might help to know that I'm using precise server
[20:44] <TJ-> prohobo: The camera works: [   10.858161] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:055c)
[20:45] <TJ-> prohobo: to discover its device name, do "ls /dev/video*"
[20:45] <prohobo> okay
[20:45] <prohobo> video0
[20:46] <TJ-> prohobo: OK, so any application that wants to use the camera needs to access "/dev/video0"
[20:46] <prohobo> are you saying i shouldnt have a problem?
[20:46] <copystring> they should be. the mask is 255.255.255.0 and the ips are 192.168.178.1, 192.168.178.29, 192.168.178.120
[20:46] <TJ-> copystring: Any VLAN configuration via a switch?
[20:47] <gutokowalski> i want to thanks to TJ- and q_a_z_steve for beeing so useful and attentious today! :)
[20:47] <TJ-> prohobo: Yes, although some applications may not be able to handle some or all of the video formats the camera puts out
[20:47] <prohobo> Cheese just says "There was an error playing video from the webcam"
[20:47] <prohobo> cameriod gives a blank page
[20:47] <copystring> TJ-: i've heard of VLAN but not sure what that is. I doubt i've set that up.
[20:47] <TJ-> prohobo: Yes, that sounds like a cheese issue. Try "sudo apt-get install guvcview"
[20:48] <prohobo> and gvnuview or whatever it's called just says something isn't right
[20:48] <prohobo> yeah
[20:48] <prohobo> even that gives an error
[20:48] <TJ-> copystring: are all the hosts connected on the same switch?
[20:48] <TJ-> prohobo: OK, lets find out then
[20:49] <copystring> TJ-: yes
[20:49] <prohobo> guvcview asks me to reconnect my camera
[20:49] <prohobo> unable to start with minimal setup
[20:49] <TJ-> prohobo: In a terminal run "guvcview /dev/video0" ... it'll report something, maybe errors, then pastebin those for me
[20:50] <prohobo> huh
[20:50] <prohobo> it says device or resource busy, 1 sec
[20:51] <TJ-> prohobo: Use this command: "guvcview /dev/video0 2>&1 | pastebinit "
[20:51] <prohobo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190864/
[20:51] <TJ-> prohobo: For comparison, here is the result from my camera: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190857/
[20:53] <TJ-> prohobo: That's a good debug capture, we now know what is wrong: "libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy" when it checks format
[20:54] <prohobo> i dunno why, but i have a feeling it's because of Windows 8
[20:54] <TJ-> prohobo: Can you show me "pastebinit <(sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/kern.log)"
[20:55] <prohobo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8190903/
[20:56] <TJ-> prohobo: That log seems to indicate that the system recently resumed from sleep. Have you tested the camera immediately after a *cold* (no power supplied) boot ?
[20:57] <prohobo> i knew it was fucking windows 8
[20:57] <prohobo> windows 8 does the hibernate thing
[20:57] <prohobo> i havent tried that TJ-
[20:57] <expunge> sounds like you figured it out
[20:57] <TJ-> prohobo: The log suggests Ubuntu was put to sleep
[20:58] <aantoon> hi, i f-ed up big time and need some help, i have a 1.5tb external usb hard disk. it was luks encrypted. i think it was One big NTFS partition but i'm not 100% sure. per mistake i formated it to a 1.3gb(unknown) dabian  iso the rest is now unallocated. is there any way i can restore it to previous or get at lease the data from the unallocated space back?
[20:58] <OerHeks> bisoncam, try " vlc v412:///dev/video0 "
[20:58] <TJ-> prohobo: But I see things like this "PM: Device 00:08 failed to resume: error -19" and wonder if it is just that the device can't be correctly reinitialised on resume
[20:58] <prohobo> so i should try to just restart ubuntu for now?
[20:58] <prohobo> err my laptop
[20:59] <prohobo> or should i take out the battery
[20:59] <prohobo> and boot up cold
[20:59] <TJ-> prohobo: Try a cold start. power off, remove the battery for 30 seconds if that is possible, reconnect it, boot, try camera
[20:59] <prohobo> and hope windows 8 doesnt think it's hibernating
[20:59] <prohobo> okay thanks brb
[20:59] <TJ-> prohobo: If it is UEFI, you can disable Quick/Fast-boot in the setup
[21:00] <TJ-> OerHeks: The problem is in libv4l2, so it'll affect vlc the same as all other clients
[21:00] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Hello Ubuntu
[21:01] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> I am back with my quest to get good WiFi drivers
[21:02] <copystring> TJ-: as far as i know i don't need routing with my setup. any idea what might be the problem?
[21:02] <TJ-> copystring: Where are we at problem-wise? Host cannot ping neighbours in sub-net?
[21:03] <copystring> TJ-: yes. ping doesn't work to and from the ubuntu pc
[21:04] <Guest36109> Morning all! Is this the place for a quick help question?
[21:05] <srobert> Guest36109: Depends on the question.
[21:05] <OerHeks> -quick maybe
[21:06] <Guest36109> I can't figure out how to keep the name column in nautilus from narrowing itself to uselessness. I've eliminated all extra columns but it still happens...
[21:06] <copystring> TJ-: funny. connecting my android to the AP and pinging the ubuntu pc from it via terminal works
[21:07] <TJ-> copystring: router issue?
[21:07] <TJ-> copystring: can the Ubuntu PC ping the Android device?
[21:07] <Guest36109> any ideas? mint doesn't do this, but Id rather use ubuntu
[21:08] <prohobo> my god, i'm so sorry TJ-
[21:08] <prohobo> it works
[21:08] <Pat__> help!!!  Just upgrded to 14.04 and now the computer is showing a blnk screen
[21:08] <TJ-> prohobo: Yay :)
[21:08] <prohobo> thanks
[21:08] <TJ-> another satisfied customer :)
[21:08] <copystring> TJ-: actually no. i can't ping either way
[21:08] <srobert> Guest36109: I don't have nautilus, but in thunar, the mouse can resize the headings to arbitrarily large.
[21:09] <prohobo> all that, and all i had to do was remove the battery
[21:09] <srobert> I think they're pretty similar
[21:09] <Guest36109> that works most of the time, but in a non-maximized window the width is not adjustable
[21:09] <Pat__> black screen... there was no indication 14.04 even loaded
[21:09] <TJ-> copystring: Get to a terminal on the router, and test from there. It sounds like a bad port (change ports) or a VLAN or firewall issue
[21:09] <Guest36109> thanks for the answer btw
[21:10] <copystring> TJ-: or simply loads of typos :P
[21:10] <jhutchins> Pat__: What did you upgrade from?
[21:10] <TJ-> prohobo: It's not unusual for devices to get themselves confused after a suspend/resume cycle, especially those devices that are supposed to use an industry standard (in this case USB VC) but have bugs in them
[21:10] <prohobo> now i can take pictures of myself naked
[21:11]  * TJ- hides behind OerHeks 
[21:11] <Pat__> not sure... I think it was 12
[21:11] <prohobo> yeah, i'll have to do something with the W8 hibernation
[21:11] <prohobo> i tried to disable it
[21:11] <prohobo> but i guess i didnt do enough
[21:12] <circ-user-q6P0P> okay im out
[21:12] <spOngebOb> I have problem on my ubuntu it says  /bin/cat: cannot execute binary file
[21:13] <jhutchins> Pat__: Try adding nomodeset or noapci or noapic to the boot command line.
[21:13] <jhutchins> Pat__: Do you know what video chipset you have?
[21:13] <Pat__> I was unable to upgrade before..had to take it in for reinstallatio of previous
[21:13] <jhutchins> Pat__: Can you reach ctrl-alt-F1?
[21:14] <Pat__> don't know my video chip
[21:14] <TJ-> spOngebOb: that is usually caused by trying to execute files for the wrong machine architecture
[21:14] <Pat__> just tried ctrl alt delete ..nothing happened
[21:14] <Basketballl> how do i completly remove libre 4.3 with all the folders it installed
[21:14] <copystring> TJ-: OK. a reboot fixed everything. ping to everything works including internet :)
[21:14] <jhutchins> Pat__: Well, get it to a console using the above or boot to rescue mode and do lspci
[21:15] <TJ-> copystring: phew :)
[21:15] <Pat__> also tried f12 same result
[21:15] <jhutchins> Pat__: ctrl-alt-F1 is different.
[21:15] <spOngebOb> TJ- , is rebooting my VPS can solve this problem?
[21:15] <TJ-> spOngebOb: I doubt it
[21:15] <jhutchins> Pat__: F1 - F6 should give you a console
[21:15] <Pat__> sorry meant ctr alt f1
[21:16] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: How did you get to this point?
[21:16] <mkanyicy> Basketballl: sudo apt-get purge libreoffice-*
[21:16] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: That sounds like what happens when people mix i386 and x86_64
[21:16] <TJ-> spOngebOb: It depends on when the issue occurs, what command you/a script is trying to execute, what you may have installed, etc. That error is common when people install ARM packages on Intel X86 systems, e.g. Android developers
[21:16] <Basketballl> mkanyicy,  why the *
[21:17] <mkanyicy> Basketballl: to remove all libreoffice applications
[21:19] <geirha> best quote that pattern
[21:19] <Basketballl> why isnt 4.3 in the 13.04 ppa
[21:19] <Pat__> am at a command line..tried 1spci...grub reply'can't find command'
[21:19] <eeee> Pat__: it's lspci not 1spci
[21:20] <jhutchins> Basketballl: 13.04 is EOL
[21:20] <Pat__> got it.. now what?
[21:20] <Basketballl> jhattara,  i meant 12.04
[21:22] <eeee> Pat__: what are you trying to do
[21:22] <Pat__> just upgraded to 14.04 and it's not booting
[21:23] <eeee> Pat__: define not booting
[21:23] <Pat__> computer turns on but no ubuntu loading
[21:23] <totimkop1> trism: okay, problem solved. for some reason a bunch of repos had a lot of bad checksums, so I just rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists ; sudo apt-get update and now I'm able to install apt-file among others..
[21:24] <jhutchins> Basketballl: I would guess that since 14.04 is the current LTS they're not updating 12.04 as quickly.
[21:25] <Sven_vB> i'm installing Ubuntu trusty from Live USB, and near "reticulating splines" i chroot into the target file system in order to adjust grub menu settings. my distribution name is generated by an expression that contains $(hostname -s), which currently yields "ubuntu". is there a way to change my invocation of ubdate-grub so that its lookup will yield the target hostname instead of the live session hostname, or do i absolutely have to change the
[21:25] <Sven_vB> distribution lookup command?
[21:25] <Basketballl> hey Snake2k
[21:25] <Pat__> i'm in the minimal bash like line editing right now
[21:26] <jhutchins> Pat__: Have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log - very noisy, but might show the problem.
[21:27] <jhutchins> Pat__: lspci is ls (list) for the PCI bus, there's also lsusb.
[21:28] <Pat__> tried /var etc in the command line..can't find command
[21:28] <aantoon> is luks header only stored on the encrypted disk?
[21:29] <TJ-> Pat__: Is it the "grub rescue>" shell or the initial RAMdisk shell?
[21:29] <TJ-> aantoon: Unless you detach it, yes
[21:30] <Pat__> don't know.. esc out to Ubuntu with advanced options was trying the command line before
[21:30] <jhutchins> Pat__: Oh, grub shell, not much you can do from there.  From the boot menu you can edit the command lines (press e).
[21:31] <aantoon> TJ- thing is i used it befor i messed it up (format) and i wonder if it still somewhere in my system so i can try and recover data
[21:31] <jhutchins> !rescue
[21:31] <eeee> !nomodeset | Pat__
[21:31] <jhutchins> Pat__: THis has changed in 14.04
 spOngebOb: That sounds like what happens when people mix i386 and x86_64 <-- :(
[21:32] <aantoon> TJ- cryptsetup luksDump gives"not a valid LUKS device" can i get from somewhere else?
[21:32] <Pat__> ok so I enter !nomodeset.. correct?
[21:33] <spOngebOb> jhutchins but its working earlier though, bt right now it says cannot execute binary file :(
[21:33] <Pat__> where?
[21:34] <TJ-> aantoon: Not unless you previously backed it up
[21:34] <eeee> Pat__: no, that's for the bot to give you the info
[21:34] <spOngebOb> Btw im using VPS
[21:34] <eeee> Pat__: when you're in grub, press e to edit and then after where it says quiet splash, add nomodeset
[21:35] <eeee> then let press ctrl+x or x or something to execute it
[21:35] <spOngebOb> should i contact the vps hosting ?
[21:35] <Loshki> jhutchins: nomodeset has changed?
[21:35] <spOngebOb> when  i do apt-get update it wont fetch any data
[21:35] <aantoon> TJ- blast...i did not i was making a startup debian usb-stick and clicked the wrong disk.... is all my data gone? is there noting i can do?
[21:36] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: The question is what did you do prior to having this problem?  If it just happened spontaneously without any updates or changes on your part, you may have a failing system.
[21:36] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: Also, VPS implies publicly exposed, so it could have been hacked.
[21:36] <TJ-> aantoon: This is the point of encryption... without the keys the data is so much randomness
[21:37] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: Sounds like it might be time to have them reinstall then restore your data.  Often you can't arbitrarily update a VPS because they use customized software.
[21:37] <TJ-> aantoon: This is why it is recommended to backup encryption headers, key-files, passphrases, and so forth
[21:37] <Pat__> ok nomdeset added... now what?
[21:37] <aantoon> TJ- oh man i'm gone cry
[21:38] <jhutchins> Loshki: Kernel boot options have changed, single mode doesn't work any more, there are strange "target" names for systemd.
[21:38] <eeee> Pat__: it should say below how you can run it
[21:38] <spOngebOb> jhutchins , i ahve cpanel , bt the thing is all my files is in ubunto , when i re-install other OS , it will be automaticlly deleted.
[21:38] <eeee> press ctrl+x or f10 or whatever to run
[21:38] <Loshki> jhutchins: do you know if are these documented somewhere?
[21:38] <jhutchins> spOngebOb: It does sound like you might need to talk to support.
[21:39] <aantoon> TJ- are you 100% sure i can do nothing to retrieve something?
[21:39] <Pat__> press ctrl-x or f10 to boot... so i'm trying to boot now?
[21:40] <eeee> yeah
[21:41] <TJ-> aantoon: You've formatted the block device you said, with another file system? LUKS header starts in sector 0 of the block device, so if you've written over that, its gone
[21:41] <jhutchins> aantoon: What were you using to make the startup disk?
[21:41] <aantoon> dd
[21:42] <jhutchins> aantoon: What was your source?
[21:42] <Pat__> ctrl-x gives me blinking cursor in the upper left corner..nothing else
[21:43] <aantoon> jhutchins debian-live-7.6.0-i386-gnome-desktop.iso
[21:43] <jhutchins> aantoon: Experience is proportionate to data destroyed.  You have just gained some experience.
[21:43] <jhutchins> !photorec
[21:43] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Seg fault from insmod WL.ko
[21:43] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Doesn't seem like a good sign
[21:43] <jhutchins> aantoon: No, photorec won't work on a partial encrypted disk.
[21:44] <Pat__> was there sopposed to be a "!" in front of the nomedeset?
[21:44] <eeee> Pat__: did it say press ctrl+x to boot ?
[21:44] <aantoon> jhutchins no-no it was one partition
[21:44] <jhutchins> Pat__: No Mode Set
[21:45] <jhutchins> aantoon: I wouldn't invest any time in trying to recover it.
[21:45] <Pat__> yes it did... and yes i typed nomodeset.....i'm on atablet right now
[21:47] <eeee> ok
[21:47] <eeee> can you drop to a root shell from the advanced options > recovery > root shell?
[21:57] <jhutchins> Pat__: You could also see if Ctrl-alt-F1 works from the blinking cursor - that could just be a dead x session.
[21:59] <Pat__> doesn't work
[22:00] <jerec> #horriblesubs@irc.rizon.net
[22:02] <jhutchins> aantoon: Given what you've told us no, nothing you can do to recover from that.  You've overwritten anything that might make it possible to mount the disk, you've overwritten some of the data.  You have nothing left on the disk but a boot image and garble.
[22:03] <Pat__> going back to grub...i have 4options ican edit....unbuntu....advanced option for ubuntu... and 2 memory tests. i've been editing in ubuntu..advanced options include some recovery. should i try something else?
[22:07] <Pat__> is it possible this install has damaged my data?
[22:08] <aantoon> jhutchins yea i guess your right, it so sad, i just thought because i used it before i messed up that the header would be in the memory or log file or something since i did not turn off the machine it would be .....
[22:08] <Pat__> the install is on an acer laptop
[22:08] <aantoon> os sad
[22:12] <Pat__> i tried booting 'ibuntu with linux 3.13.0-35-generic (recovery mode)' and got a screen full of large font code and a curser which responded to nothing
[22:14] <TJ-> Pat__: Try the Advanced menu again. This time though, highlight and then edit the "Recovery" entry, and at the end of the "linux ..." line add the text "init=/bin/bash", then press Ctrl+X to try booting it
[22:15] <Pat__> I've also noticed the 'nomodeset' is gone from the line of code i edited
[22:15] <TJ-> Pat__: Edits to the menu are transient, they are only for that boot instance. Permanent entries have to be put in the configuration file that GRUB reads
[22:19] <Pat__> ok.....screen full of large font and a blinking curser
[22:20] <TJ-> Pat__: any chance you can take a photo and upload it?
[22:24] <Pat__> took a pic but ho do i upload to th icr?
[22:24] <rww> !imagebin
[22:29] <deniskatko> i need help
[22:30] <deniskatko> alguem fala portugues aqui
[22:31] <Pat__> ok uploaded pic to imgur.com
[22:33] <rww> ubottu: pt | deniskatko
[22:35] <TJ-> Pat__: You need to give us the URL
[22:36] <Pat__> i1qBo6f
[22:38] <sveinse> Hi I'm dualbooting a 14.04 instance on A) by running it natively (booting from native disk) and B) from VirtualBox where VB has access to phy disk. Now this works fine except for X, where natively I'd like to use the nvidia driver, while on vbox you'd need the vbox graphics driver.
[22:40] <sveinse> If I install nvidia drivers, they override the xorg.conf file, so it breaks vbox graphics. When I remove that, X starts the way it should, but nothing happens after lightdm login. It does not proceed and shows the bg image only. Mouse works fine. X orgs claims everything is fine. How can I debug this? Where can I see where it is locking up?
[22:40] <sveinse> If I uninstall nvidia drivers from my machine, the login proceeds. Is there some nvidia startup app that could be blocking the entire thing?
[22:40] <jhutchins> sveinse: So you need to swap out the xorg.conf file if you're booting the VM.
[22:41] <TJ-> Pat__: OK, what you have there is a Kernel Panic, resulting in a CPU status dump and stack-trace. I see "attempt to kill init" which suggests you got a shell prompt and typed "exit" or pressed Ctrl+D. Otherwise, the init shell (/bin/bash) crashed for some weird reason
[22:42] <sveinse> jhutchins: Yes. that's the simple part. But after login, I get nothing from the window manager. It just sits there. How can I debug what happens after lightdm login, do you know?
[22:44] <jhutchins> sveinse: Are you passing USB or PS/2 input devices?
[22:44] <sveinse> jhutchins: No, not yet
[22:44] <jhutchins> sveinse: I mean what is the Hypervisor passing to the VM?
[22:45] <jhutchins> sveinse: It's after you log in?  What desktop.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:45] <Pat__> I'm back.. got kicked off... did you find the pic?
[22:46] <sveinse> jhutchins: Well, nothing except the mouse and kbd integration that works. X is alive. It scales whenever I scale my guest window. And Xorg.0.log sais its happy. I'm trying vanilla 14.04, so its the Unity desktop that isn't starting
[22:47] <jhutchins> sveinse: Sorry, I don't know anything about Unity.  Obviously, trying something like xfce might be useful.
[22:47] <sveinse> If I uninstall the nvidia drivers, it seems to be starting properly. So I'd guess its an startup application that blocks it
[22:47] <TJ-> Pat__: OK, what you have there is a Kernel Panic, resulting in a CPU status dump and stack-trace. I see "attempt to kill init" which suggests you got a shell prompt and typed "exit" or pressed Ctrl+D. Otherwise, the init shell (/bin/bash) crashed for some weird reason
[22:48] <jhutchins> TJ-: kernel panic will attempt to kill init as well.
[22:48] <prohobo> TJ-: is this channel's designated badass
[22:49] <TJ-> Pat__: My bet will be you didn't put "init=/bin/bash" right at the end of the "linux ..." line, which would end up passing kernel parameters to bash, which would confuse it, causing that kind of failure
[22:49] <TJ-> jhutchins: yeah, but the screenshot shows bash reporting its usage info just ahead of the panic
[22:50] <sajan> wafflejock,
[22:50] <TJ-> oops, Pat__ lost it again
[22:52] <sveinse> What happens after you log in in lightdm? What scripts are executed?
[22:54] <TJ-> sveinse: greeter hands over to the session, which fires up scripts in "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/"
[22:55] <purr_> hi, can I get some help with libvlccore7 and vlc-data here or should I go else where?
[22:56] <purr_> it is just about installing libvlccore7...
[22:56] <purr_> The following packages have unmet dependencies: libvlccore7 : Depends: vlc-data (= 2.1.5+ppa1) but 2.2.0+ppa2.1 is to be installed
[22:56] <purr_> I am not sure what to do
[22:57] <Pat__> back again
[22:58] <sveinse> Anyone know how to debug when my unity desktop does not appear after lightdm login. Xorg seems to be alive and well
[22:58] <Pat__> did i miss any more help?
[23:01] <purr_> anyone?
[23:04] <sajan> can anyone help me with elementary os linux  here
[23:04] <sajan> ??
[23:06] <kostkon> !elementary | sajan
[23:07] <OerHeks> purr_, did you perform sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade before trying to do what you just tried?
[23:08] <sveinse> Is is possible to select which libglx.so Xorg is picking based on which driver Xorg is using?
[23:09] <rolleiflex> hey everyone, I had a quick question to ask. I'm a developer building ubuntu / debian version of the app and I was wondering about the way most people
[23:09] <rolleiflex> install the applications.
[23:09] <rolleiflex> I'm familiar to mac and windows, but not debian distros
[23:09] <rolleiflex> how do normal people (not apt-get install.. people) install applications on linux?
[23:09] <Pat__> is eeee there?
[23:09] <kostkon> rolleiflex, using the software centre, using ppas or just .debs
[23:10] <rolleiflex> kostkon: software centre is an app store, I believe, is that correct
[23:10] <rolleiflex> so I would have to apply
[23:10] <kostkon> rolleiflex, yes to both
[23:10] <rolleiflex> the app in question is aether: www.getaether.net, open source, freeware distributed network
[23:10] <rolleiflex> I'm planning to release a binary, no ppas, no dependencies etc
[23:11] <kostkon> rolleiflex, for ubuntu users a .deb file would be much easier
[23:11] <rolleiflex> kostkon: I see, thanks for the lead, i'll research this
[23:11] <kostkon> !packaging
[23:11] <rolleiflex> is there interop between ubuntu and debian?
[23:12] <rolleiflex> whoa, thanks!
[23:12] <kostkon> rolleiflex, np
[23:12] <rolleiflex> I don't know the state of the desktop @ linux, any idea for which distros I should package this?
[23:12] <rolleiflex> It seems that ubuntu is the leader, then debian
[23:13] <kostkon> rolleiflex, ubuntu and fedora that would be the minimum and probably a tar.gziped binary for the rest
[23:13] <rolleiflex> I see
[23:13] <rolleiflex> I have the binary already. I'm planning to supply app icon, .desktop file etc. for ubuntu, then I'l look into fedora. that might also go into the binary bin though
[23:14] <rolleiflex> thank you
[23:14] <kostkon> rolleiflex, some big players only support ubuntu though, like e.g. steam and gog
[23:14] <rolleiflex> kostkon: I see. Is that acceptable?
[23:14] <pestboy> I need someone with teamviewer to help me follow this guide:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383708 I have done everything til "Then at the top of your screen, go to System/Administration/Windows Wireless Drivers (install it if you don't have it)." Its not hard but i'm a noob at linux at the moment.
[23:14] <kostkon> rolleiflex, i don't care about it personally, users of other distros might complain
[23:15] <rolleiflex> kostkon: well they should either get more popular or learn to compile their own stuff...
[23:15] <kostkon> rolleiflex, i guess :P
[23:15] <rolleiflex> haha, thanks
[23:15] <rolleiflex> appreciate the help
[23:15] <kostkon> rolleiflex, no prob
[23:17] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Is there some way to repair or reset my cfg80211
[23:18] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> I think my broadcom sta install screwed it up
[23:19] <aantoon> jhutchins thanks for your time
[23:20] <hrphaestus_rg|wb> Anybody?
[23:21] <sveinse> As soon as I uninstall the nvidia drivers, unity starts normally in my VM. It is not libglx.so, it is (apparently) not the xorg config. What else is there?
[23:22] <sveinse> Ok, let me flip the question: How can I start up X with unity from my console without lightdm?
[23:22] <Pat__> my new ubuntu 14.04 install didn't and now won't boot and i can't access my data...not impressed.
[23:25] <Guest62027> guys i am trying to mount sda to update-grup since i get back my hdd to the laptop from a live cd but do not allow me to mount it any idea?
[23:25] <AlexPortable> Is there a theme for Ubuntu to make everything flat?
[23:25] <AlexPortable> Like android L
[23:26] <jorge> I am receiving the following error in virt-manager http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VLtTujfj
[23:27] <sveinse> Nobody here know how to start X with unity manually?
[23:27] <OerHeks> maybe @ gnome-look.org AlexPortable
[23:27] <OerHeks> !themes
[23:28] <Beldar> !grub | Guest62027
[23:28] <pot-deb> Hi, I'm looking for some help with GRUB2. I want to stop it booting to a menu of different Oses every time. Have tried editting etc/default/grub and running grub-update but it changes nothing. anyone help?
[23:29] <Guest62027> negative i was fixing my laptop until then i was using the ssd on usb boot on the main computer to keep using ubuntu no problems there but when i put it on the fixed laptop atain it recognized on the bios but do not want to boot for some strange reason
[23:31] <Guest62027> i think i found the problem  i tought it was sda but down says also sda1 :S
[23:31] <AlexPortable> OerHeks: well how is it called
[23:31] <AlexPortable> because those websites only list themes, but when i want to search on that website i still have to find out how it's called
[23:36] <rolleiflex> when building a deb package, do I need to specify where this package gets installed?
[23:36] <rolleiflex> I'm fairly confused about linux, or how these things are 'installed' to a system :(
[23:38] <purr_> Yes, my system is fully updated and upgraded
[23:38] <purr_> I think maybe, not sure though. that they went with libvlccore8 and dropped libvlccore7
[23:39] <purr_> but the problem is that phonon-backend-vlc is dependent on libvlccore7
[23:39] <OerHeks> purr_, what ppa?
[23:39] <purr_> good question...
[23:40] <purr_> is not vlc in the ubuntu rep?
[23:40] <purr_> sorry
[23:40] <purr_> ahah
[23:40] <purr_> oh, nevermind, i typed that right, I thought I put ubuntu in place of vlc... but I did type that right so I am not sorry
[23:41] <OerHeks> purr_, vlc is, but those errors give a ppa notice
[23:41] <purr_> http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/stable-daily/ubuntu
[23:41] <purr_> I believe that would be the one
[23:42] <purr_> so this is not a thing for ubuntu support, is it?
[23:42] <OerHeks> daily & stable, grinn
[23:42] <OerHeks> well, not really, as you need to contact that ppa owner to file a bug complaint
[23:43] <purr_> humm, I see
[23:44] <OerHeks> next ubuntu utopic is on 2.2.0 ..
[23:45] <Guest77226> hello,i have ubuntu 14.04 64bit installed with the gnome desktop environment but i cant get compiz effects to work..any suggestions?ty
[23:47] <purr_> I wish I knew how to submit bug reports...
[23:48] <kernix> hey all
[23:49] <Guest77226> hi
[23:50] <AlexPortable> Is there a theme for Ubuntu to make everything flat? Like android L
[23:51] <sveinse> Is there an easy way to alter which alternative is being used by /etc/alternatives? I'm going to alter between two alternatives quite regularely
[23:51] <_josh> does anybody know how to write a C program with readline in ubuntu? I've installed libreadline-dev, included the right files, and used -lreadline, but it still says "undefined reference to readline"
