mrichaelTJ-, that makes sense to me, because if I have a failed drive I just want to --add it to my array and forget about it00:01
TJ-mrichael: Right now the operational array is using the whole disk anyhow, so its rather academic. My feeling is, trying to force the partitions is going to cause more problems than it is worth.00:01
mrichaelTJ-, since I do have partitions on two of my drives and none on the third... how do I move forward and get rid of those partitions and just continue to use the whole disk?  I just dont quite understand how this is even functioning at the moment, but it is...00:02
TJ-mrichael: The other thing to consider is this: for metadata v1.2 the meta-data is stored 4K from the beginning of the device (unlike v1.0 and prior that was stored at the end)00:02
khaidartest00:03
TJ-mrichael: So, I'm wondering if the arrays being detected in partition #1 on those 2 drives was accidentally created *inside* /dev/md0 when /dev/md0 had v1.0 meta-data, and was later upgraded to v1.200:03
mrichaelTJ-, how could I determine that?00:04
=== Blue is now known as Guest6594
TJ-mrichael: It'll need some careful analysis to figure it all out. I'd also make sure the back-ups are good since it could blow up on you unexpectedly00:05

Guest6594??00:06
mrichaelTJ-, will the mdadm recovery that is currently going on be creating a partition table to look like the other two drives?00:07
sajan_wafflejock,00:08
mrichaelTJ-, fdisk -l /dev/sd[bcd] does in fact show one partition a piece for each drive but only two of them have identical UUIDs for an array00:08
TJ-mrichael: I doubt it; it's recovering the whole-disk array isn't it? It's RAID-5 so it's not like its doing a simple mirror as with RAID-1, so why there are partitions showing up is hard to fathom.00:10
=== rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan
TJ-mrichael: Like I said, I'd recover from back-ups, there are too many things wrong that could explode00:11
mrichaelTJ-, i just find it very strange to get info for mdadm -E /dev/sdb and mdadm -E /dev/sdb1 showing the array state as AAA and participating in RAID500:13
TJ-mrichael: show is "fdisk -l" for those drives00:13
TJ-mrichael: It'll depend on what the sector offsets to partition #1 are as to how the 2 arrays are being treated.00:14
=== dan_ is now known as Guest6401
mrichaelTJ-, fdisk -l  http://pastebin.com/eSTWfLpk00:15
TJ-mrichael: So the arrays have metadata v1.2, which means the metadata starts 4K bytes into the block device. So, for the whole-disk block devices that is sector 8, and for the partitions it is sector 2056.00:17
TJ-mrichael: That means that the 'psuedo' array in the partitions is comprised of data blocks belonging to the whole-disk array. What happens if the whole-disk array writes something new to the sectors claimed by the partitions and the array in them?00:18
mrichaelTJ-, not sure I follow you, so does that mean the partitions are starting before the array /dev/md0 block device00:18
yaowenruigood night but i am morning here00:19
TJ-mrichael: The whole-disk array starts at sector 0, but its meta-data starts at sector 8 and that array believe it owns every sector on the whole disk. That leaves sectors 0-7 untouched. That means a badly administered set of disks could have a partition table written to them (that's just sector 0), which is now claiming that sector 20408 onwards belongs to a partition.00:21
TJ-s/20408/2048/00:21
TJ-And at 2048+8 (metadata v1.2 is $K into the block device) there's another ARRAY header00:22
yaowenruiwhat time in your there00:22
mrichaelTJ-, this sounds bad... could this be fixed one drive at a time?00:22
TJ-mrichael: If that 'pseudo' array in the partitions is activated I hate to think what it could do00:22
yaowenruii think it was the reason00:22
mrichaelTJ-, theoretically could I remove one drive at a time, add a brand new drive (or reformat partition table) this insert into array and let it rebuild?00:24
mrichaels/this/then/00:25
TJ-mrichael: The only thing here that offers hope is that the metadata describing the array in the partitions doesn't seem to have been over-written by the active array. If you've been *very* luck those sectors aren't in use by anything in the active array. Not sure how you'd prove that though. But, if it were so, the obvious solution would be to zero sector 0 of each drive to zero the metadata sectors in the partitions, then zero sector 0 to remove the partition tab00:25
TJ-le.00:25
TJ-mrichael: Well that's what you've already got happening - the problem is, is *all* the data inside the active array actually what it ought to be? we already know there's another array's metadata at sector 2056 on each whole device, and this isn't a mirror array, it's RAID-5, so one would not expect the redundant data to be in the same sectors of 2 drives.00:27
jkcsoevening, #ubuntu00:28
TJ-mrichael: So what I'm getting at is, you can't trust that the data in the active array is 100% valid, and there's no way to prove it - it needs recovery from back-up.00:28
jkcsouh oh - someone suffer an array failure?00:28
mrichaelTJ-, thats not good, person who had this server before me used this AS the backup00:29
TJ-jkcso: Nope, more a case of duplicate arrays within arrays :)00:29
jkcsoTJ-, Dupli... 'splain? o.O00:29
TJ-mrichael: well if it is the backup, that means there's another copy of the data somewhere :)00:29
tortibhow can I set a group on a dir and have all dirs under that dir that are created retain the same group permissions of the parent dir?00:30
TJ-jkcso: RAID-5 array with 3 whole-disks and not partition table, but another array claiming to be located in partition #1 of each disk, both using metadata v1.2, causing the primary (whole-disk) array to rebuild every boot00:30
mrichaelTJ-, true... how risky is zero'ing sector 0 and how would you attempt to do this?00:31
sajanwafflejock,00:31
jkcsoTJ-: I've never heard of that. I wouldn't trust that array no matter what.00:31
TJ-mrichael: I'd not do it except on a duplicate set of disks. There's no telling what the knock-on effects might be without careful analysis00:31
jkcsomrichael: Speaking in strict terms of data integrity, I'd consider the entire array a wash. Only you can judge that, though, as I don't know the context. This is only a technical observation.00:32
TJ-jkcso: I think someone's created / rebuilt the array at some point in the past, one-time doing "mdadm --create /dev/sd[abc]" and another time "/dev/sd[abc]1" or similar00:32
mrichaelTJ-, sounds like I need to scrounge up another server and disks for ddrescue00:32
jkcsoTJ-: That would fit the behaviors.00:33
mrichaelTJ-, jkcso I am hoping this other array has never been attempted to be assembled or mounted00:33
jkcsoTJ-, mrichael: It almost sounds like it's sort of flip-flopping arrays. Assembling one, then the other, then the first, etc each restart.00:34
TJ-mrichael: It's certainly an interesting experiement for the lab... something for me to do later in the week :)00:34
TJ-jkcso: Yes, that's exactly what it is doing, mdadm scan during initrd.img processing00:34
jkcsoTJ-: As if each array rebuilt fixes the one array, but breaks the other, which is then fixed - breaking the first - on restart?00:35
mrichaelTJ-, jkcso one thing I did notice is that in the mdadm.conf file there is the other UUID of the inactive array commented out.... looks like someone was experimenting at some time00:35

mrichaelTJ-, well it looks like the partitions were created three days after the disk but have not be updated since then... the disks (mdadm --examine /dev/sdd) have been updated as of today... can I gather from this that the whole-disk blocks have been primarily the array is use?00:51

cyclob|workhi guys, i have ubuntu server 14.04 with libreoffice 4.2 which is auto starting on boot. how can i remove libreoffice from the auto start list. I ask cause i have scripts that launch stuff from libreoffice 3.5 and 4.2 is blocking it00:52
CorvetteI'm trying to do this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/netflix-linux-html5-support-plugins but I'm having issues. When I execute the command in the home folder it gives me an error.00:53
TJ-mrichael: I'd think so; the mdadm.conf UUID seems to confirm that. I'd suspect that simply zeroing sector 0 on each whole disk, and thus removing the partition tables, would stop the scan from discovering the metadata at sector 205600:53
TJ-mrichael: with no partition table, there's no partitions, and with no partitions, there's no block device to examine for meta-data, so the data at sector 2056 will just be used as and when by the active array00:54

cfhowlettwaykool99, could be.  false positives happy in ALL antivirus packages.  You'll have to investigate each it.02:23
etzertUsed to be several major blockers, but yes, just in the last couple of years (thanks Steam, etc, but also various indie games otherwise distributed), games have become less of one.02:23
varunendrawaykool99, hard to tell, maybe look for virus details on the net.02:23
necro606lol that is no lye volt. i have been dreading the windows experiance.02:23

maksimkaHello, I am still unable to resolve the cause of this error on boot (http://pastebin.com/xYi204xh) It only appears when booting ubuntu14.04, I do not see it on Fedora20 or any other OS boot up (FreeBSD, Windows).06:09

maksimkahanasaki: most probably, but am looking for some explaination to what does the HSM violation indicate and if anyone here knows about this error..06:11

Busserlhanasaki: I tried btrfs06:39

Busserlhanasaki: It has worked so far in the newest Ubuntu release, I like backups, that is the possibility of snapshots, and sending snapshots even to remote locations using send/receive.06:40
=== [1]bonusdz is now known as bonusdz
hanasakiBusserl:  haven't read send/receive yet :(06:42
Busserlhanasaki: I put root, etc on one single btrfs partition, Grub would pick it up without a problem. I am not sure if the installer setup root as a Btrfs subvolume, which you can do during install even. That way you can take snapshots of your root volume too, and easily switch if something really bad happens to root.06:43
hanasakiBusserl:  I was thinking... /boot on its own ext4 and then /   /var/   /tmp etc in subvolumes so they can be resized06:44
Busserlhanasaki: It looks like some form of low level incremental backup to me. Like how you can copy a file on btrfs with an option, so only changed bytes in the copy take additional space, so an untouched copy would take up zero additional space. That way you can have gigabytes of data effectively backed up at a remote location using a slow connection, since only the changed bytes er sent.06:45

Busserlhanasaki: oh, yes, /boot is on ext4, I forgot that.06:45

Busserlhanasaki: I have /tmp, /var on subvolumes too, so they can be managed. However subvolumes will still see the same space of the btrfs partition, and i haven't tried quotas on btrfs yet, so I could limit /tmp for example. It seems a relatively unfinished feater though. Alternatevly you could just create separate btrfs partitions instead, I guess.06:47
hanasakiBusserl:  what about raid mirror and nbd?06:47
Busserlhanasaki: I don't use raid, or btrfs over network, other than using the machine as a cifs server, no problems there.06:48

Beldarsuperkuh, How many 3rd party repos had you added?08:19
superkuhTons. All disabled. I am running MATE 1.6 desktop.08:20
superkuhI figured it out, maybe. I killed the "frontend" process that had hung on processing man-db. Then it started running again.08:20
superkuhCurrently writing up the answer for others that will encounter my situation.08:21
=== Mucea is now known as DiAs
Beldarsuperkuh, disabled does not remove the packages they installed, you should have purged them.08:21
superkuhThen why even have a dist-upgrade?08:21
superkuhIf I should just be installing on a clean OS.08:21
oleoleTJ-: The only thing I can notice in the log is “nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver: assertion ‘nameserver > 0’ failed”08:21
Beldarsuperkuh, dist upgrades have limitations one being you knowing what to do.08:21
superkuhRight. But this issue wasn't really caused by my 3rd party repos.08:22
superkuhThe other error reports of the issue were sometimes clean, purged, OS.08:22
oleoleBut afterwards it says “Registering new address record for 2.131…….”, and “Using nameserver 212.242………”08:22
superkuhIt is something related to perl handling of the man-db update.08:22
Beldarsuperkuh, I don;t think that is more than an opinion, not empirical.08:23
superkuhI do appreciate you giving advice, regardless. Good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.08:23

superkuhSo you see the stall on unpacking python, probably the last bit of updating the man-db manual stuff. And then it shows me killing it manually.08:32
superkuhThe install continued as per normal so far.08:32
superkuh`result !=0' failed at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/DynaLoader.pm  was the line that lead me to the others experience the common error.08:32
TJ-oleole: No, the default will be the *next* router in the path. Try pinging the default gateway. If that doesn't respond you've either got firewall issues, or the connection isn't working at all08:34

TJ-oleole: Use "mmcli" to interrogate modem-manager; start with "mmcli -L" the when you've got the modem's index, try "mmcli --modem=<index> --3gpp-ussd-status"08:48
MaxRideantonio__, Under windows I use Notepad++ and it works great for me...I can't see the picture you posted though...there should be a linux equivalent of it though...08:48
oleoleTJ-: Should it be connected via network manager before I use mmcli or should I disconnect from the network and remove the configuration before?08:49
oleole(and did you mean nmcli?)08:49
TJ-sveinse: The reason for that is there can be multiple versions of gcc installed. You can create a sym-link for the version you want to use using the name the build tools search for08:50
TJ-oleole: I was pretty clear about using mmcli08:50
oleoleAlright08:50

TJ-oleole: NM calls on MM for all modem related work08:50
oleoleTJ-: mmcli: command not found08:51
TJ-oleole: There isn't one, the program is part of the modemmanager package08:51
sveinseTJ-: Yeah, except it would be a whole lot easier if they could in-fix the version instead of post-fixing it. Then you wouldn't have to make symlinks. Changing global symlinks to compile some piece of software isn't too elegant IMHO08:51

usr13jjavaholic: chmod 755 /usr/lib/firefox09:15
rodrigograca31my question is: how can I merge two branches to another one with just one commit?09:16
jostrodrigograca31: does the third branch already exist?09:16
TJ-rodrigograca31: You mean squash the commits?09:16
usr13jjavaholic: Remove firefox completely and just download and install manually if you want.09:16
oleoleTJ-: I will just try that09:17
TJ-rodrigograca31: see for example: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History#Squashing-Commits09:17
rodrigograca31jost: yes.09:17
jjavaholicdoes it matter if I remove /usr/bin/firefox?09:17
usr13jjavaholic: Just download firefox, unpack it, move resulting directory to /usr/lib/firefox09:18
Beldar<jjavaholic> what damage would sudo chmod 700 -Rfv /usr/lib/firefox do?  Did you do this?09:18
usr13jjavaholic: I've given you a couple of ways to do it.  The choice is yours.09:18
jjavaholicI would probably learn more by downloading and moving archive to /usr/lib/firefox09:19
oleoleTJ-: After replacing those two files, it doesn’t even notice the 3G modem. It’s shown in lsusb, but network manager doesn’t recognize it09:19
Beldarjjavaholic, I have the feeling you have been doing voodoo you should not be doing these questions you ask are a red flag.09:19
jjavaholicI don't really know how the packmanager would deal or not deal with that09:19
usr13jjavaholic: But if you do it that way, subsequent updates will be up to you.  But that's ok...09:20
rodrigograca31jost: My idea is: I have this 3 branches, master, bugs, features, I want to implemente the changes made on bugs and features branches onto master, with 1 commit, is it possible right?09:20
jnhghyubuntu 14.04 gnome windows don't have the minimize button is this the default use? and I should change it? is it a bug?09:21
TJ-oleole: might have to restart the modemmanager, or the usb-modeswitch service.09:21
jjavaholicI suspected permissions errors somewhere causing higher CPU usage for basis window painting09:21
oleoleTJ-: I just rebooted the computer09:21
Beldarjnhghy, Not there stock, hold on.09:21
TJ-oleole: I don't have a 12.04 to hand, but on 14.04 theres an upstart job "usb-modeswitch-upstart.conf"09:22
TJ-oleole: OK, that'll do it :)09:22
jostrodrigograca31: have not done that, but I assume both bugs and features are based on master? In that case, you can try to merge one branch without producing a merge commit, and then just merge the second branch. Otherwise, you'd need squashing, but I cannot help you with that, have never needed it09:22
Beldarjnhghy, Install gnome-tweak it comes up as tweak you can them add there, might need a logut after is all.09:23
usr13jjavaholic: See my pm09:23
oleoleTJ-: Trying to revert to the old ones, and give you the tail of kern.log09:23
jnhghyBeldar: thanks ... a tutorial about it? or is it intuitive?09:24
rodrigograca31jost: yes theire are based on master, and yes i just want to avoid two commits, since it "looks bad" ;)09:24
Beldarjnhghy, I use the shell, I just opened tweak.09:24
Beldarjnhghy, dconf-editor I think can do it as well.09:24

developer_How do you make a 100GB partition out of a 1TB disk using 'parted'?09:33
geirhajjavaholic: the problem is most likely in ~/.mozilla/firefox09:34
Abhijitdeveloper_, man parted09:35
developer_Ok, done that09:35
oleoleTJ-: Log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8213999/09:35
developer_I guess to be more specific,09:36
Abhijit:-o09:36
Abhijitdeveloper_, type "man parted" in terminal09:36
developer_how does one do it in such a way where you don't have to specify START and END MB?09:36
Abhijitok09:36
ObrienDavedeveloper_, you don't09:36
developer_basically, is there an option/argument that will allow one to just specify the size of the partition?09:36
Abhijitdeveloper_, maybe try fdilk? not sure though09:36
developer_to be created09:36
Abhijitfdisk09:37
ObrienDavedeveloper_, well, yes, you can specify just the size09:37
TJ-oleole: OK, the kern.log gives us a clue. I'm going to guess that on the Mac the device is put into serial emulation mode, and uses ATD commands like an old fashioned modem. However, that device has a USB ethernet emulation too, which is being used on Ubuntu via the cdc_ether driver, so it presents a 'real' ethernet port, no serial port with ATD commands. So, you'll probably need to access the on-board embedded web server and enable the connection via the web inte09:37
TJ-rface. I had precisely the same issue with a Huawei E3131.09:37
TJ-oleole: Whatever IPv4 address the device has, just do "http://<ip>" from a browser... see what you find09:38
developer_ObrienDave With parted, or with fdisk?09:38
TJ-oleole: If the SIM has a PIN it'll require that too, through the web interface09:38

developer_By the way, are there any performance advantages of creating a partition by specifying the START and END megabytes, over just specifying the size of the partition to be created?09:42
josmalaIs there a way somehow put timelock on root account/sudo ability?09:42
developer_Performance in the perspective of the users/applications that will use the partition/disk.09:43

TJ-tobiasBora: first, are you 100% sure the PC has a Bluetooth adapter? I've helped several users having laptops that were supposed to have a BT adapter, but on investigation it turned out they were capable of accepting an *optional* BT module, but it wasn't supplied with the PC09:49
tobiasBoraTJ-: Yes I'm sure the BT is present, it works from Windows09:50
tobiasBora*on09:50
TJ-tobiasBora: That's helpful :) They are mostly USB-connected modules so "lsusb" should report it, but some are integrated into PCI WiFi chipsets and so "lspci -nn" would help there09:51

oleoleSo I can’t really see much09:59
antonio__Does anyone know how I can access wordpad via wine?09:59
oleoleBut it sees the modem usb, but still no internet09:59
TJ-oleole: Well, from my experience, the embedded web server has to be used to enable the connection when the device is in Ethernet mode10:01
tobiasBoraTJ-: And do you know how to make it work ?10:01
TJ-tobiasBora: what does "rfkill list" report?10:01
tobiasBoraAverything is on "no" : http://paste.kde.org/pctqdktrm10:02
tobiasBoraTJ-: ^^10:02
TJ-oleole: What is strange is that in Ethernet mode, the device should operate a DHCP server and hand out an IP to the PC's virtual Ethernet (usb0) interface, and then you'd use the default gateway the PC has been given for the interface as the web server IP address10:02
TJ-tobiasBora: OK, so the Bluetooth module is there and not blocked10:03
oleoleTJ-: Sounds odd… But I still don’t know which port I should telnet to?10:03
TJ-tobiasBora: So what precisely is the issue?10:03
oleoles/port/ip/10:03
TJ-oleole: Don't telnet, just web-browse to "http://<ip-of-default-gateway-for-usb0-device>"10:04
TJ-oleole: If it presents as an Ethernet device it has to act as a router and forward packets, so the default gateway IP will be the device itself10:04
TJ-tobiasBora: What does "hcitool dev" report?10:05
oleoleTJ-: But I already have a local apache server on my Ubuntu machine… -.-10:05
oleoleSo entering the IP of the modem just returns my apache server :D10:05
TJ-oleole: What's that got to do with it? No, you're entering the IP address of the usb0 interface on the PC. I said, you need to use the IP of the default gateway the device provided "ip route ls"10:06
tobiasBoraTJ-: Nothing : http://paste.kde.org/p6thpjcnk10:06
superkuhNo vlc for 14.04?10:06
TJ-tobiasBora: OK, show us the kernel log "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"10:06
oleoleTJ-: Hmm, but it only shows dev wlan3 on ‘ip route ls’10:07
TJ-superkuh: "apt-cache policy vlc" => "Installed: 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1"10:07
superkuhHm. Alright. Just issues from my non-recommended dist-upgrade then.10:07
TJ-oleole: is the modem device still presenting 'usb0' as its interface?10:08
oleoleTJ-: Yep, ifconfig shows ‘usb0’10:08
tobiasBoraTJ-: Right here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8214224/10:08
TJ-oleole: OK, and usb0 has an IP address that you didn't manually configure?10:08
oleoleTJ-: Yes10:09
oleole83.74.XX.XX10:09
oleoleipv4 settings are “Automatic (PPP)” in network manager10:09
TJ-oleole: Right, that looks like it's been given an IP via PPP to me. Can you "pastebinit <(tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog)"10:10
elmcresthi everybody. My .bashrc and/or .profile gets somehow ignored. I want to have two aliases vi='~/bin/vim' and vim='~/bin/vim' (my compiled vim) ... but its getting ignored :(10:10
TJ-oleole: Aha! Thats the issue, I suspect.10:10
TJ-oleole: Using PPP you mask the real IP the device is using10:10
TJ-oleole: Are you able to temporarily reconfigure that connection to use the Method "DHCP" ?10:11
oleoleTJ-: No, I can only select “Automatic (PPP)” and “Automatic (PPP) addresses only”10:11
TJ-oleole: That'd change how things are being done so that usb0 gets an IP assigned by the device, which then will let you access the device's HTTP server via the default gateway address10:11
oleoleMy kern.log is bloated with “ERROR no rom on ep ring” messages.. So you can’t really see anything10:12
TJ-oleole: So long since I used 12.04 on these things I can't remember what tools and services are available.10:12
TJ-oleole: OK, lets do it manually. Disconnect and Disable that modem connection temporarily10:13
oleoleTJ-: Done10:13
TJ-oleole: Now lets see if we can find the ethernet MAC of the device and possibly its IP: "arp -ni usb0"10:14
oleole“in 1 entries no match found”10:15
oleoleTJ-:10:15
TJ-oleole: from the previous kern.log we know it has the MAC "02:e8:5d:1c:71:12"10:15
oleoleTJ-: Yes, but I don’t know if Parallels emulates that MAC address or something. I’m on a real physical PC now10:15

TJ-tobiasBora2: From the article it sounds as if your Bluetooth issue is a regression between 12.04 and 14.04. At some point would you be able to boot that system from a 12.04 Live ISO and verify whether Bluetooth works. If so, please open a bug report on launchpad against the "linux" kernel package, and then send me a message with the bug #, and I'll take a look at it11:34

developer_How can I tell which disk the current directory I am viewing is on?11:38
antonio__Does anyone know how I can have multiple instances of wordpad open with wine?11:38
redbeard_i was wondering if someone could give me some advice on ubuntu 14.04 with xchat?11:38
k1lredbeard_: just ask11:38
developer_e.g., let's say that typing 'pwd' gives me '/etc/random_directory_name_that_I_just_made/'11:40
langdeveloper_: df .11:40
developer_How can I tell which disk /etc/random_directory_name_that_I_just_made/ is stored on?11:40
langdeveloper_: then grep for the output in "mount"11:40
antonio__I need to have at least 5 copies open...the only way I can do it so far is by running this command 5 separate times...in 5 separate term windows11:40
antonio__ wine wordpad11:40
developer_lang grep for what output?11:41
developer_which value under which column of 'df .' ?11:41
langdeveloper_: what does "df ." give you?11:41
developer_Filesystem                1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv 314091092 15601860 282534288   6% /11:41
langdeveloper_: grep for the value in "Filesystem"11:41
langso /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv11:41
antonio__Any idea how I can open up multiple instances of Wordpad on Ubuntu?11:43
developer_lang so that appears to be the filesystem, then11:43
langantonio__: yes, run it multiple times?  but why would you want to run wordpad on ubuntu in the first place?11:43
developer_lang But how can I tell which disk/device?11:44
langdeveloper_: yes, and you then grep for that filesystem in the output of the "mount" command.11:44
antonio__Lang: because I need a basic text editor that will allow me to use special formatting....bold, underline, etc11:44
langdeveloper_: or look in fstab, if it's something permanent.11:44
antonio__Open Office is too bloated11:44
developer_lang That gives /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv on / type ext4 (rw)11:44
developer_after I did 'mount|grep /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv'11:45
developer_If that's the right command.11:45
redbeard_k1l: I'm using xchat-gnome, and it doesn't seem to register when I unsubscribe from a channel (the ubuntu channel for example). Also it doesn't show a checkmark besides the `auto-join on connect` channel option. Is this a known problem with a solution, or would it be better to switch to a different irc client?11:45
k1lantonio__: there are tons of basic text editors. i bet they can use tabbed browsing, too11:47
antonio__k1l: I can't use tabbed browsing11:47
k1lredbeard_: xchat-gnome is a crippled xchat to meet the gnome interface "standards". i suggest you first try the real xchat or hexchat wich is the forked and active xchat clone11:48
developer_lang Both of the suggestions just seem to parrot back the name of the filesystem11:48
developer_right now I can't tell whether /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv is even an HDD or SSD.11:49
Vladimir_Is there a tool on ubuntu that looks in if a folder has new files and adds timestamp if they are new?11:49
developer_lang ^11:49
redbeard_k1l: ok, I'll do that. Does it interface well with unity notifications in the system tray? Any gotchas?11:49
antonio__lang: and k1l: I can't use tabbed browsing..mainly because I need to have 5 instances of Wordpad open to edit like this http://imgcandy.com/di/A5LL/emails.jpg11:49
Ampelbeindeveloper_: You are using LVM, you can see the physical volumes used in each VG by using the "sudo pvs" command.11:50
langdeveloper_: yes, sorry.  that's me not paying attention.  that's a device handled by device mapper.11:50
developer_LVM? VG?11:50

tossei got some issues with ubuntu 14.04 and a triple monitor setup, xubuntu doesnt have support for it what the looks of it, arandr can sort of fix it but some apps (chrome for example) seems to crash after going back from screen blank11:51
tosseit was working better on 13.10 with xfce4.12 beta packages but they are not available for trusty11:52

tossedoes unity work better with it?11:52
langon both ubuntu and xubuntu11:52
developer_Thanks.11:52
developer_Okay, I see.11:52
langno problems after switching to firefox though.11:53
developer_Ampelbein Those physical volumes must actually be partitions, from what I see.11:54
developer_Ampelbein since I never ordered extra hard drives.11:54
geirhaantonio__: wine wordpad & wine wordpad & wine wordpad # should open three at the same time11:54
developer_Ampelbein So would it be reasonable to assume that they are partitions on the hard drive that I ordered?11:54
antonio__thanks..11:55
antonio__I just wish I could freaking hit ctrl + N to open a new instance...why not make it easy? argh11:55
ikoniaantonio__: you can - use windows with supported applications11:55
antonio__huh?11:56
Ampelbeindeveloper_: Most likely, yes.11:56
ikoniaantonio__: you're doing something that linux is not meant to do with an unsupported abastraction layer, why not make it easy and use wordpad on windows11:56
antonio__ikonia: I don't have windows11:56
Ampelbeindeveloper_: "sudo pvs" should show something like /dev/sdXY where X is a letter and Y the partition number.11:56
ikoniaantonio__: then don't use word pad11:56
yaowenruihow can i use the nvidia gtx 750 on ubuntu , i found the man page but still not the download on my version11:57
ikoniaantonio__: as thats on windows, so id you don't have windows, how are you using wordpad ?11:57

k1lAhad: since i explained you cant hibernate. it will not work.12:13
Volteeee: I don't get why anyone would require 4 gb of swap.12:13
k1lAhad: you can use standby but not hibernation12:13
VoltAhad: My bad I missed that out12:14
eeeeAhad: resize your swap partition, or make a swapfile, if you want hibernation12:14
yaowenruiadding a  Software Sources and apt-get?12:14
simonjrthe sound jack works fine on Windows XP Pro and also the realtek driver can be installed without any hassle but it difficult to do so for Ubuntu 14.0412:14

simonjrI saw it on youtube12:16
ikoniasimonjr: first question - do you NEED additional drivers ? or do the ones shipped with ubuntu work ?12:16
ikoniaI'm not interested in blind youtube videos12:16
ikoniasimonjr: I'm interested in the correct way to do things with the correct solution12:17
Voltikonia: Doubt a swap partition of excess is needed if you have 12GB of RAM. But it's just my personal perception.12:17
simonjrok thanx12:17
ikoniaVolt: I have 32GB of ram and use a swap partition to good effect12:17
AhadAre there any software to save battery power?12:18
ikoniaAhad: linux has power management it already12:18
Voltikonia: Doesn't Ubuntu automatically disable swap space if RAM > 3GB?12:18
ikoniaVolt: no idea12:18
eeeeVolt: i don't think so12:18
ikoniaVolt: I'd be very surprised if that is the case12:18
simonjrI have the default soundcard driver provided by canonical ubuntu but the front jack for mic and headphones is not working12:18
ikoniasimonjr: so the sound actually works, correct ?12:19
Voltikonia: People are debating if swap is really required nowadays lol12:19
ikoniaVolt: I don't see that debate12:19
simonjryes but there is no sound for the front jack12:19
ikoniasimonjr: ok, so the issue is the front jack12:19
eeeeVolt: it never hurts12:19
simonjrwhen I plug in the headphones no sound12:19
simonjrbut it works on windows xp pro12:19
simonjryes ikonia12:19
yaowenrui_the restrick says edit->soft sources-> setting manager -> softwave update12:20

ubottupatro, this might help you: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot14:59

rangergordikonia: instructions to disable splash (editing /etc/default/grub, then update-grub2) didn't work, the boot sequence is identical. Meaning I don't see any extra text anywhere, as if the changes had no effect. Full disclosure: it's actually Mint 17, a front-end for Ubuntu 14.04. I didn't get any answers in the Mint channel so I figured I'd try my luck here. I don't want to be inconsiderate and16:30
rangergordwaste your time by having you help with something that could be anything (bad PPA, Mint itself, the fact that I'm running it in a Vbox VM). If you think it's not worth the effort, I can just reinstall from scratch. My home partition can be recovered.16:30

blackangelprcdumdum_, it says: Now we are finally ready to actually install the extension. From a shell prompt enter following but substitute “pecl_http” with the PECL extension name you are installing:16:39
cdumdum_because the systeme use Tar.php16:39
blackangelprshould change prcl_http  with the extention16:39

MonkeyDustgirafee  no, use it in your squid proxy setup, I only know the list, not sure how toi use it18:17
jhutchinsdaro: That's more likely a video problem.  You could try Ctrl-Alt-F1 to see if you can get to a console, or if you're running sshd and have another computer to connect from you could see if the whole computer was frozen or just the GUI.18:17

nonconvergentor does it just use apache2.conf? Just trying to get an svn over an apache server up and running18:18
daro<jhutchins> its good idea give him at today night18:19
jhutchinsdaro: It's often a good idea when you're having problems like this to reseat (un-plug, plug in) memory modules and graphics cards.18:19
rwwnonconvergent: it uses apache2.conf. Debian (and thus Ubuntu) aren't overly fond of Apache naming their httpd httpd.18:19
Blendahi all, i just bought a 2nd hard disk on wich im gonna install win7, on the first hd i have winXP/ubuntu. Should i just plug the 2nd hd, set the boot order to 1-cdrom(win7);2-HDD2? or just unplug the first hd to take no risk? Also, is it possible to add that win7 to Grub, so that i have my 3os in the same menu?18:19
nonconvergentrww: Thanks.18:20
jhutchinsBlenda: Safest to unplug the existing drive, yes, update-grub should find the new installation.18:20
nonconvergentMaybe you can tell me what's missing then? I'm assuming it's the lack of LoadModule for the dav_svn module18:20

daro<jhutchins> i cant un-plug display card - laptop but ram i can, but i have only one DDR3 memory18:20
Blendaso when i plug it again (as HDD1), Grub should update automatically, or do you mean i'll have to type in some command?18:21
jhutchinsdaro: Also check the cooling path to make sure it's not clogged.18:21
BeldarBlenda, For W7 make a ntfs ahead and install to it, grub will see it. Installing W7 after XP is the actual issue18:21

jinjonBoohey guys. i've developed a web app (back-office) [win7.64/xampp] that needs integration with Active Directory. till here everything's fine: i've enabled the "extension=ldap.dll" on the php.ini, and applied the Open-Spource "adLDAP" from sourceforge. problem is, i need to replicate it to a ubuntu/debian[apache/php/mssql] environment, and i'm very noob at linux in general. i've already installed18:26
jinjonBoo"sudo apt-get install php5-ldap", but i dunno how i should enable it on the .ini or something, or what do you consider the steps to make ldap running at this environment? thanks in advance18:26

Ampelbeinnonconvergent: What exactly are you trying to do?18:45
nonconvergentAmpelbein: Get a svn server to shown up web_dav.18:46
ChaosZenIs there any kind of session that I could get that does not start x server, like strictly console from the bootup?18:46
joaoI think you can use alt+1~718:47
joaoctrl + alt + f1~f718:48
Ampelbeinnonconvergent: Ok, and at what point are you stuck? Creating the repository? Creating the necessary entries in your webserver configuration? Do you get any error messages?18:48
wheatthindo you have to identify per channel you go into, or per freenode connection?18:48
Ampelbeinwheatthin: per freenode connection18:49
nonconvergentAmpelbein: Okay, so long story short, there is a svn server that we access over http at work.  Only someone broke it.  I have a copy of the repo, and a fresh LTS, and I've done this so far https://gist.github.com/nonconvergent/678e04140fa7cbdd7a0c18:49

Valarkin_chown18:50
jhutchinswheatthin: Depends on your irc client, most have web pages with FAQs on how to get around.18:51
Slartcmoneylulz: isn't there a "use colors" setting somewhere? man ls ?18:51
cmoneylulzyeah i mean it works for directory and filetype colors just not all the flags18:52
cmoneylulzaka literally only the file/directory name is colored18:52
jhutchinscmoneylulz: Depends on your terminal, http://linux-sxs.org/housekeeping/lscolors.html18:52
Slartcmoneylulz: ah.. my bad.. misunderstood. Then I don't really know.. not sure if that kind of customization is possible with ls/bash18:53
jhutchinsSlart: It's actually part of the alias for ls.18:53
Slartjhutchins: sweet.. never seen that before.18:54
vlastikSkype question. I have installed it successfully, however it was not in the Software Center before and after reboot. Install again then?18:55
vlastikUbuntu 14.04 is my version.18:56
cmoneylulzthe example im looking at is using an alias. its a super sweet looking set up but zero instructions lol18:57
cmoneylulzquit18:57
Ampelbeinnonconvergent: I don't see anything obviously wrong with that. Does it work if you use the SVNPath directive to point to a single repository?18:57

mitchelwbLooking for some help installing a video card.  I've got a GeForce GT240 that I want to drop in an older computer.  I loaded 14.04 on it last night as a dual boot.  When I boot the machine to Ubuntu with the GT240, it comes up but pretty quickly the mouse starts to lag and then it eventually freezes.19:16
WHAT_DOWNessentially, i want to put some semi-secure document that can only be accessed through a web frontend and not by other users on the server19:16
mitchelwbIf I boot to XP with the GT240, it comes up fine.19:16

wafflejockErgo^: eh well I'm out of guesses will need to get someone else who can help you dig in more19:18
Ergo^thanks anyways19:18
Ampelbeinnonconvergent: Well, if it worked previously and you copied all of the files 1:1 then it should work now. What happens if you create a pristine new repo in /home/developer/svnrepos? (svnadmin create /home/developer/svnrepos/test1). Can you then checkout that repository?19:19
mitchelwbany idea on my vid card question?  (sorry to be a pain)19:22
nonconvergentAmpelbein: Yeah, I can checkout revision 0 of an empty one19:23
nonconvergentthat I just made for testing19:24
wafflejockmitchelwb: were you able to get to the additional drivers window and enable the nvidia drivers?19:24
Ampelbeinnonconvergent: That means that you didn't copy the repositories over, I guess. Are you sure you didn't copy a checkout directory?19:24

wafflejockValarkin_: for what it's worth I've always just stuck with keeping things in /var/www but if you're dealing with a multiuser environment I understand wanting to have a folder that's served from the users home19:31
wafflejockValarkin_: but if that one doesn't work out just google, public_html users home folder permissions, and you get lots of people asking/answering for various setups19:32

Matt3o12Hello, is there a tool that gives me the reponse time of a webpage (e.g. http://google.com/do_something_expensive) in seconds liek the ping command? I need the value to be updated every few seconds just like ping.22:04
EriC^^jinjonBoo: echo $USER22:04
simon``Matt3o12: there's the apache benchmark tool, "ab".22:04
Matt3o12But I wanna have the response times....22:04
jinjonBooEriC^^: "myuser"22:04
Matt3o12I don’t need to create lots of requests, I’m just interested how long my webserver takes to server a request...22:05
simon``Matt3o12: did I somehow give you the impression that ab cannot provide response times?22:05
EriC^^ok22:05
wafflejockMatt3o12: check out stress22:05
simon``ah... hm. doesn't wget give you an approximate request time?22:05
jinjonBooEriC^^: can u please explain why after i did "sudo chmod 700 -R /home" it turned i folder with several files inside into a binary file?!?!?!?! sorry to me so annoying but i need those files man22:05
EriC^^jinjonBoo: try sudo ls -ld /home/myuser22:05
Matt3o12It’s not giving me a live “update” just like ping …22:05
wafflejockMatt3o12: wait take that back... it's not called stress there's another one I was using recently to test 100 requests at a time... one sec22:06
wafflejockMatt3o12: oh yeah it's called, siege22:06
EriC^^jinjonBoo: try sudo ls -ld /home , please22:06
jinjonBooEriC^^: it says: "drwx------ 35 myuser myuser 4096 Sep 2 22:38 /home/myuser"22:06
simon``EriC^^: should I not try to use efibootmgr to add ubuntu to the list it reports?22:07

jinjonBoohow so22:08
EriC^^jinjonBoo: sudo chmod 0755 /home22:08
Matt3o12@wafflejock looks much more better :)22:09
jinjonBoook i can access "home" but not it's subdirectories?????22:09
EriC^^simon``: uefi dual booting is pretty tricky, some bios is hard coded, some windows installations will reset stuff when booting into windows22:09
wafflejockMatt3o12: yeah I don't know that it gives you "live" updates but after you stop it you get a summary and it works pretty well, the -c option lets you change the number of concurrent requests22:09
jinjonBooEriC^^: ok i can access "home" but not it's subdirectories, and my desktop folder is still a binary file :(22:09
simon``EriC^^: oh my...22:09
EriC^^simon``: you might need to switch efi files, delete the windows efi entry, mess with bcdedit,22:09
simon``EriC^^: I'll write that down and try that tomorrow.22:10
Matt3o12Google doesn’t like it much appearently. They’ve blocked me :)22:10
wafflejockhaha22:10
EriC^^simon``: but first, ubuntu doesn't seem to be on the efibootmgr -v list22:10
Matt3o12But it works with my server :)22:10
wafflejocknice yeah I just tested on my server don't want to anger the google bots :)22:11
badnoyllm22:11
simon``EriC^^: I suppose I could switch between "legacy" boot mode in the bios whenever I want to reboot into windows which isn't often anyways. but I'm actually not even sure how to get into this wicked bios when not rebooting in a special way through windows8. maybe then it's back to the old F2 button.22:12
samthewildoneso what's this problem I've been getting this past couple of days with the Adobe flash error ?22:12
simon``EriC^^: I'll look at tweaking the windows8 efi files first, though... could be neat if it'd just work.22:12
wafflejocksamthewildone: not sure are you using Google Chrome?22:12
samthewildoneI noticed I've been getting these for quite a while on both google-chrome-stable & chromium22:12
simon``EriC^^: thanks a lot for shedding some light on how efi even works. :)22:12
samthewildonewafflejock, si22:12
samthewildonewell chromium22:13
wafflejocksamthewildone: it has the Pepper version of flash player that is up to date, the one you get from Adobe is 11 or 1222:13
jinjonBooEriC^^: please help me i'm desperate. after "sudo chmod 0755 /home" i can access "home" but not it's subdirectories?????. also, the personal folder i had on desktop is still a binary file!!! :(22:13
wafflejockthe pepper one is version 14 I think22:13
EriC^^simon``: np22:13
samthewildonewafflejock, I remember seeing an update for some flash this morning but, happily ignored it.22:13
wafflejocksamthewildone: would try with "real chrome" and see if it works there maybe some bugs in the older version of the player that are surfacing in some newer content22:13
EriC^^jinjonBoo: ok22:14
samthewildonewafflejock, this seems to be the updated version; chromium with google support 64bit.22:14
EriC^^jinjonBoo:  try sudo chmod -R 0755 /home22:14
samthewildonewafflejock, will try though... for the sake of science.22:14
jinjonBoothat's what i did man..........22:14
jinjonBooEriC^^: that's what i did man.....22:14

Network Manager will not work with the iwlwifi6 driver needed for the Centrino 100N wifi controller on this machine.22:25

wafflejocksamthewildone: yeah not sure flash player support on Linux is kind of terrible, they had a go at releasing some of the build tools for AS3 in Linux 1 time but then they gave up on that and have turned away from Linux, I've argued with Adobe about how they completely ignore the Linux users and it's a terrible idea because lots of devs use Linux and could really help both parties I think... but the CS suite needs to be written in Qt22:28

When I copy items via FTP from the dedicated server to my home server my only Ubuntu user does not have ownership and permissions are restricted.
