[00:01] <mrichael> TJ-, that makes sense to me, because if I have a failed drive I just want to --add it to my array and forget about it
[00:01] <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.
[00:02] <mrichael> TJ-, 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)
[00:03] <khaidar> test
[00:03] <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 v1.2
[00:04] <mrichael> TJ-, how could I determine that?
[00:05] <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 unexpectedly
[00:06] <khaidar> hello i'm newbie in here,
[00:06] <CalebW> What do you need -khaider
[00:06] <CalebW> ?
[00:06] <Guest6594> ??
[00:07] <mrichael> TJ-, will the mdadm recovery that is currently going on be creating a partition table to look like the other two drives?
[00:08] <sajan_> wafflejock,
[00:08] <mrichael> TJ-, 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 array
[00:10] <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.
[00:11] <TJ-> mrichael: Like I said, I'd recover from back-ups, there are too many things wrong that could explode
[00:13] <mrichael> TJ-, 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 RAID5
[00:13] <TJ-> mrichael: show is "fdisk -l" for those drives
[00:14] <TJ-> mrichael: It'll depend on what the sector offsets to partition #1 are as to how the 2 arrays are being treated.
[00:15] <mrichael> TJ-, fdisk -l  http://pastebin.com/eSTWfLpk
[00:17] <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.
[00:18] <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] <mrichael> TJ-, not sure I follow you, so does that mean the partitions are starting before the array /dev/md0 block device
[00:19] <yaowenrui> good night but i am morning here
[00:21] <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/
[00:22] <TJ-> And at 2048+8 (metadata v1.2 is $K into the block device) there's another ARRAY header
[00:22] <yaowenrui> what time in your there
[00:22] <mrichael> TJ-, 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 do
[00:22] <yaowenrui> i think it was the reason
[00:24] <mrichael> TJ-, 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?
[00:25] <mrichael> s/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 tab
[00:25] <TJ-> le.
[00:27] <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.
[00:28] <jkcso> evening, #ubuntu
[00:28] <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] <jkcso> uh oh - someone suffer an array failure?
[00:29] <mrichael> TJ-, thats not good, person who had this server before me used this AS the backup
[00:29] <TJ-> jkcso: Nope, more a case of duplicate arrays within arrays :)
[00:29] <jkcso> TJ-, Dupli... 'splain? o.O
[00:29] <TJ-> mrichael: well if it is the backup, that means there's another copy of the data somewhere :)
[00:30] <tortib> how 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 boot
[00:31] <mrichael> TJ-, true... how risky is zero'ing sector 0 and how would you attempt to do this?
[00:31] <sajan> wafflejock,
[00:31] <jkcso> TJ-: 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 analysis
[00:32] <jkcso> mrichael: 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 similar
[00:32] <mrichael> TJ-, sounds like I need to scrounge up another server and disks for ddrescue
[00:33] <jkcso> TJ-: That would fit the behaviors.
[00:33] <mrichael> TJ-, jkcso I am hoping this other array has never been attempted to be assembled or mounted
[00:34] <jkcso> TJ-, 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 processing
[00:35] <jkcso> TJ-: As if each array rebuilt fixes the one array, but breaks the other, which is then fixed - breaking the first - on restart?
[00:35] <mrichael> TJ-, 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 time
[00:35] <Mussolini> hi
[00:37] <TJ-> jkcso: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/518860/degraded-mdadm-raid5-array-array-uuids-mismatch-ubuntu-14-04-1   and   http://pastebin.com/eSTWfLpk
[00:44] <mrichael> jkcso, TJ-  is there anyway I can tell the date the array's were created or last used?
[00:46] <TJ-> mrichael: "--examine" will report the metadata info
[00:47] <sajan_> wafflejock,
[00:50] <cyclonis> looking for an ubuntu guru in the chanlle
[00:50] <cyclonis> this channel
[00:51] <mrichael> TJ-, 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] <sajan> wafflejock,
[00:52] <mrichael> TJ-, also none of the file creation dates were before the creation of the partition table
[00:52] <cyclob|work> hi 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 it
[00:53] <Corvette> I'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 2056
[00:54] <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 array

[00:58] <yaowenrui> how to create wireshark capture?
[00:58] <TJ-> mrichael: I have to leave you to it, hope it goes OK, remember the back-ups :)
[00:59] <mrichael> TJ-, thanks for you help.... I will be checking the results this evening..
[00:59] <pooltable> now it working
[00:59] <yaowenrui> is there anyone can help me ?
[00:59] <pooltable> what up ?
[00:59] <yaowenrui> how to create a wireshark capture?
[00:59] <oto> hola
[00:59] <oto> HI!
[00:59] <pooltable> hi
[01:00] <oto> hello pootable... IRC in spanish?
[01:00] <pooltable> no sorry
[01:00] <somsip> !es | oto
[01:00] <oto> thanks
[01:00] <yaowenrui_> hola a soft?
[01:01] <pooltable> http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup
[01:02] <volt> Buenos días
[01:06] <arthurfiggis> hello :) just as a general question...i have an i3-based system that's running windows 8 at the moment, from a dvd that i bought myself :) i'd like to dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu...is this possible for one, and if so, would it just involve installing one, then the other in "legacy boot" mode?
[01:07] <xangua> !dualboot | arthurfiggis
[01:07] <volt> arthurfiggis: god damned UEFI.....
[01:08] <pooltable> how to change sound setting to make the sound in head phones louder?
[01:08] <jezeniel> Can upstart scripts have multiple "start on" and "stop on" clauses?
[01:08] <volt> pooltable: sound settings.
[01:08] <arthurfiggis> volt: yeah, my thoughts exactly :( i'd just buy another hard drive and boot windows off one, ubuntu off the other, just to avoid the heartache...if that even works. the only reason i'm even considering dual-booting is that steam has a bunch of windows-only games i like, otherwise i'd run ubuntu full-time
[01:09] <volt> pooltable: increase output vol beyond 100
[01:09] <arthurfiggis> as for the dual hard drives, that would work but my stupid case only has one hard drive bay :P
[01:09] <etzert> Playing with enabling/disabling lightdm on a minimal installation (i3wm, etc) and various /dev files (/dev/dri/card0, /dev/snd/controlC0) somehow simultaneously have ACLs with my user in them in console and not in a non-lightdm X session
[01:10] <volt> arthurfiggis: ever thought of virtualization?
[01:10] <etzert> with lightdm, everything is fine, but GLX, sound, etc all fail without it (either disabled or uninstalled). what's causing only non-lightdm X sessions to 'not see' that ACL?
[01:11] <etzert> a simultaneously logged-in console VT on the same user sees it fine (and runs alsamixer fine)
[01:11] <yaowenrui_> how can i find the winpcap driver on the wireshark?
[01:11] <pooltable> got it thanks
[01:11] <arthurfiggis> volt: hmm...well, i suppose that's a possibility, just run ubuntu in virtualbox or something similar. :) certainly not the other way around (that would take the point out of the games) but still, something to consider! fortunately all of the development tools i'd need are available for windows too :)
[01:12] <yaowenrui_> can you help me i am new hand
[01:13] <yaowenrui_> i using wireshark but cant find the winpcap driver
[01:13] <etzert> winpcap is for windows
[01:13] <yaowenrui_> which dirver should i use on ubuntu?
[01:13] <volt> libpcap
[01:13] <etzert> Which is almost certainly already a hard-dependency of wireshark
[01:14] <volt> as he'd pointed out, winpcap is for windows
[01:14] <yaowenrui_> oh but i cant find it on the meun
[01:14] <yaowenrui_> which target
[01:14] <yaowenrui_> i find it for more time
[01:14] <etzert> yaowenrui_: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/wireshark
[01:15] <etzert> If you have that installed, you already have libpcap installed
[01:15] <etzert> (barring shenanigans which you'd know you were doing)
[01:15] <arthurfiggis> hmm..mentioning pcap and wireshark bring about an unrelated issue, i'm not sure if everything i need is actually available for windows :( wireshark certainly is, as for kismet i'm not so sure
[01:17] <yaowenrui_> shall i should download something on this page?
[01:17] <etzert> No, it's to show you that on Ubuntu, having Wireshark installed implies having libpcap installed.
[01:17] <developer____> What's the best way to send someone a private message?
[01:18] <developer____> or a couple, rather.
[01:18] <etzert> (Contrapositively, not having libpcap installed implies not having wireshark installed.)
[01:18] <yaowenrui_> in which path?could you show me?
[01:19] <etzert> see http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libpcap0.8/filelist
[01:19] <etzert> It shows exactly where libpcap lives and you should be able to verify all of those files exist
[01:20] <volt> yaowenrui: do a sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev just to verify
[01:20] <developer____> Hi, does anyone know how to send someone a private message?
[01:20] <yaowenrui_> ok i try it then
[01:20] <SchrodingersScat> !pm | developer____ but for general irc you can /query developer____
[01:21] <SchrodingersScat> developer____: where the name after /query is who you want to talk to
[01:21] <volt> developer_____: [/msg [name] [message]]
[01:22] <yaowenrui_> er and i install it
[01:23] <yaowenrui_> is this package find on the wireshark folder
[01:23] <yaowenrui_> or others?
[01:23] <etzert> libpcap isn't part of wireshark, no (well, I don't know in terms of human organizations)
[01:24] <volt> yaowenrui_ : I guess you could use the find command
[01:24] <etzert> It's a separate package; other packet capture software also exists which uses libpcap (should be able to apt-cache rdepends libpcap0.8 to get a list if interested)
[01:26] <etzert> Rephrased my question to be more readable: http://pastie.org/9520442
[01:27] <yaowenrui_> yes it was the depends list of the wireshark but if i want to open a file in to the wireshark that should be find it at first but i know nothing about it
[01:27] <etzert> Wireshark automatically loads libpcap just by running. It's not something you as a user manually open
[01:27] <developer____> Okay, by the way does anyone know how to pm/query someone if they have a '+' in front of / as part of their username?
[01:28] <developer____> Example: +jacob
[01:29] <Beldar> developer____, You should be asking anyone before pm-ing them
[01:29] <yaowenrui_> sorry i am first time in here just install ubuntu for somedays
[01:29] <pecc> Suddenly after a re-connect my fance display has started blurring in whatever portion isn't refreshed within the last second or so. Nothingin set-up, hardware, drivers has changed. Nothig has been installed or updated since it worked normally. This happened after I had all hardware unplugged and replugged.
[01:30] <necro606> hi, I was trying to get the desktop cube to work, but i don't have the option in compiz app.
[01:30] <cyclob|work> hi guys how do i remove the 'soffice' service off the boot scripts in server 14.04
[01:31] <volt> necro606: sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
[01:31] <etzert> yaowenrui_: for more detailed information about this in general, the search term is "linked"/"linking"/etc. wireshark links to libpcap. You can see a list of that and other things it loads with "ldd /usr/bin/wireshark"
[01:32] <necro606> thank you I will try that.
[01:32] <etzert> which also tells you where it's expecting to find libpcap
[01:32] <peyam> hi. i have one ssd and one hdd. ubuntu installed on ssd and windows on hdd. i see that they recommend ahci on SATA mode. but now windows wont come up. what should i do?
[01:32] <developer____> Beldar Yes, that's the case.
[01:33] <developer____> What does it mean if someone has a + at the front of his or her username?
[01:33] <pecc> forgot to add: have dual-boot to Win 8 and 14.04, Win works perfectly, screen acts up with Ubuntu only
[01:34] <Beldar> developer____, Look up your IRC clients and freenodes pm info, most have built in options.
[01:34] <SchrodingersScat> developer____: levels of privilege, + is voice @ is op
[01:35] <developer____> !voice | developer____
[01:35] <Bashing-om> peyam: Depends on what you have set up for the booting code. Ubuntu on the SSD 'should' have the ability to boot either OS, and Windows on the HDD 'should ' be able to boot Windows; When the appropriate drive is selected in bios as the booting medium.
[01:36] <developer____> Sorry, what exactly are 'voice' and 'op'?
[01:36] <developer____> I tried querying ubottu.
[01:36] <developer____> Nothing useful
[01:36] <wRayden> it's irc related
[01:36] <mJayk> developer____, op is like channel admin voice is just like a seperate flag
[01:36] <volt> voices can speak even if +m mode is set
[01:36] <mJayk> so you can set it to only voice can talk or voice can mute people etc etc its irc stuff
[01:36] <wRayden> they're user privileges
[01:39] <developer____> So when issuing a '/query' pm to someone with the voice + privilege, do you "/query +person" or "/query person"?
[01:39] <peyam> Bashin-om: the boot menu is made by grub. thats how much i know. bios sata is on AHCI and the distro wont go to suspend at all and windows wont come up. what exactly should i do
[01:40] <volt> peyam: does IDE work?
[01:41] <Beldar> peyam, Did yo change to ahci after the windows install?
[01:41] <peyam> yes it does. but is it the optimal solution?
[01:42] <peyam> yes i changed the sata mode today and both ubuntu and win havr been installed for a while now
[01:43] <Beldar> peyam, I would ask ##windows on changing that, might be a work around, I would just change it back, post changes for windows are not normal.
[01:43] <varunendra> heh, just yesterday I had (again) a failed windows 7 boot due to change from IDE to ahci :p
[01:45] <mertSe> Lan
[01:45] <mertSe> Talk me
[01:45] <mertSe> :D
[01:46] <etzert> IIRC it can be kind of traumatic for Windows
[01:46] <varunendra> lol!
[01:46] <mertSe> alayınızın anasını sıkerım len
[01:47] <Beldar> !tur | mert
[01:47] <Beldar> !tr
[01:49] <etzert> Not to make this a Windows support channel or anything, and I've never done this, but e.g., see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/how-do-i-change-from-ide-to-ahci-for-my-hard/09a0eac7-a775-416f-b30b-219fcaab2ac9
[01:49] <etzert> It requires manual fix-ups if AHCI's not there on original install, apparently
[01:50] <varunendra> peyam, ^^
[01:53] <navetz> what does laravels query builder return if an insert fails?
[01:53] <somsip> navetz: not an ubuntu issure - try the laravel channel
[01:53] <navetz> whoops sorry thanks
[01:58] <volt> Off to school. Brb.
[01:58] <mJayk> kk
[01:59] <necro606> How do i add more desktops to the cube in compiz?
[02:00] <varunendra> necro606, CCSM > General Options > Desktop Size tab
[02:02] <expunge> varunendra: that wasn't fast enough!
[02:02] <varunendra> expunge, what?
[02:03] <expunge> mmm
[02:05] <necro606> interesting, I dont see desktop size in the general options...
[02:06] <varunendra> necro606, I'm on 12.04, many things have changed in 14.04, maybe the location of 'Desktop Size' (or a similar option) is one of them. :|
[02:06] <volt> necro606: the final tab
[02:06] <etzert> ... okay, I'll take a last shot at this: since I guess this isn't the most responsive place to ask http://pastie.org/9520442 (about how some /dev/* ACLs are getting set/viewed), what might be a better place?
[02:07] <etzert> I've read lightdm's various startup files and not found anything obvious relating to said ACLs
[02:08] <volt> etzert: tried google?
[02:08] <varunendra> etzert, not sure about a better place, but may be you need to post in a 'better time' ? (potentially helpful ones may not be around at this time)
[02:08] <JuJuBee> Have fresh install with kubuntu-desktop installed also.  When I lock my computer and try to unlock I get what looks like the lightdm login screen then I get the kde login screen also, why?
[02:09] <expunge> JuJuBee: also?
[02:10] <volt> JuJuBee: run dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[02:10] <JuJuBee> Installed ubuntu 14.04 and then added kubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <JuJuBee> kdm was not installed
[02:10] <patricius> kj
[02:10] <JuJuBee> So I should install kdm and select kdm vs lightdm?
[02:11] <etzert> volt: yes. Read many things, e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/150487/what-happens-under-the-covers-to-log-me-in-and-start-up-unity-or-another-graphic
[02:11] <SrPx> What is the best way to run Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro ? I've heard VirtualBox is better than an actual install. Does that make sense?
[02:11] <cfhowlett> JuJuBee, depends.  ask #kubuntu what the default is.
[02:11] <volt> SrPx: Depends
[02:11] <cfhowlett> !mac | SrPx, best way would be dualboot if possible.
[02:11] <JuJuBee> k
[02:11] <Beldar> SrPx, most likely much easier.
[02:12] <etzert> And I've read through all the files, including the source code to lightdm-session, that he mentions (also /usr/share/X11/ stuff, etc)
[02:12] <SrPx> Beldar: but is it as fast ? Is there any problem with installing ubuntu on it?
[02:12] <SrPx> ubottu: volt cfhowlett thanks
[02:12] <Beldar> SrPx, No idea.
[02:12] <SrPx> don't be so harsh with yourself, you're an intelligent bot ubottu
[02:13] <carlosqueso> SrPx: ubuntu works really nicely in VirtualBox, but you'll have less system resources as you'll need to leave some for Mac OS
[02:13] <volt> Depends on sys specs though.
[02:14] <etzert> varunendra: fair enough
[02:14] <carlosqueso> SrPx: I've got a lubuntu VM at work, but I have 8GB of memory, so I have plenty left over for lubuntu
[02:14] <necro606> Ok, i stand corrected i was looking in the wrong place for the option.  Thanks for the help so far.
[02:14] <SrPx> But as far as general speed (chrome browsing etc), will it be worse than OSX? In both options? That is the point I want to know... also if it will drain more battery
[02:14] <expunge> a gig is plenty
[02:15] <expunge> VMs are nice if you use the guest rarely
[02:15] <expunge> and annoying if you don't
[02:15] <volt> SrPx: more or less, yes.
[02:15] <varunendra> necro606, no problem. As a helpful feedback please let us know the distro you are using, and how good (or bad) the cube works on it.
[02:15] <carlosqueso> SrPx...if you're running it in VM, it will be slower and drain more battery since you'll be running both ubuntu and OSX
[02:17] <carlosqueso> expunge...agreed
[02:17] <necro606> i am using the latest release of ubuntu. and the cube seems to work great on this pos laptop... my bad about the foul language..
[02:17] <varunendra> necro606, Ubuntu with Unity? I thought the cube didn't work well with Unity.
[02:18] <volt> etzert: Doubt anyone here is familiar with lightdm. Guess you'll have to wait.
[02:18] <necro606> yes, i have the unity version unfortunately.
[02:20] <necro606> i haven't used a linux bsd system in a long time "3 years to be close enough" and I am on a windows ban streak lately.
[02:21] <necro606> i feel dumbed down in a windows OS.
[02:21] <volt> The last time I touched windows was in 2007 when I was 9. lol.
[02:21] <necro606> nice
[02:22] <volt> Once you discover linux...there's no turning back
[02:22] <necro606> the only real reason i went to windows was to play games. now the programing of games for linux is less painful than what it was...
[02:22] <waykool99> ubuntu v14.04.4 LTS 64 bit. just ran ClamAV. found 38 threats. are the */.wine/ files False positives?
[02:23] <cornell> I'm running Ubuntu 12.4.  I've dropbox installed.  I'm getting notifications that say, basically, your version will be retired soon, click here to upgrade.  Of course, I can't click the notification, it goes away when I get over it.  Anybody have any idea what's going on with dropbox?
[02:23] <cfhowlett> waykool99, could be.  false positives happy in ALL antivirus packages.  You'll have to investigate each it.
[02:23] <etzert> Used 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] <varunendra> waykool99, hard to tell, maybe look for virus details on the net.
[02:23] <necro606> lol that is no lye volt. i have been dreading the windows experiance.
[02:24] <waykool99> sounds good. many thanks.
[02:24] <etzert> Boring kind of software, I know, but actually US tax software I haven't found a good way to run in anything but a real Windows machine (or VM)
[02:24] <necro606> after using linux for 5 years then deciding to go back to windows for games
[02:24] <cornell> volt: Sixteen years old and turned off of Windows long ago... there's hope for the future ;-)
[02:24] <etzert> WINE generally rates compatibility as "garbage"
[02:24] <volt> cornell: dropbox client out of date?
[02:25] <mJayk> Im struggeling to install ubuntu on my lenovo u430 anyone who has done this any help would be appriciated
[02:25] <cornell> That's what the notification says, but I didn't see anything on the website, volt
[02:25] <DlDit> cornell: Just upgrade it
[02:25] <sudormrf> you guys have any recommendations for a program that can provide me with information about video files from the CLI? things that show what codec is being used, etc
[02:25] <volt> mJayk: what kind of problems?
[02:25] <cfhowlett> cornell, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:26] <waykool99> a year ago i emailed ClamTK. guy said often ".exe" files are false positives.
[02:26] <cfhowlett> sudormrf, avconv -i videonamehere
[02:26] <sudormrf> cfhowlett: let me see if that returns what I am looking for :D
[02:26] <cfhowlett> sudormrf, OR    file videonamehere
[02:26] <etzert> waykool99: ... yes, they would be, disproportionately? They're executable files... (Not the only type, but...)
[02:26] <sudormrf> cfhowlett: file didn’t return the info I was looking for
[02:26] <cornell> cfhowlett: That'll upgrade Ubuntu, no?
[02:27] <etzert> Lot harder for a .gif or .jpg to contain a virus
[02:27] <mJayk> volt, uefi problems I just wanted to speak with someone who potentially had the same series of laptop
[02:27] <mJayk> few questions I have
[02:27] <cornell> My puzzle is, why isn't synaptic/update manager dealing with it?
[02:27] <cfhowlett> sudormrf, libav-tools contains the avconv package
[02:28] <DlDit> Jpegs can contain virus
[02:28] <necro606> Well just hooked the laptop to my tv and the compiz crashed going to reboot to see if it has the same problem...
[02:28] <cfhowlett> cornell, "upgrade" = 12.04 >>> 12.04.5
[02:28] <sudormrf> cfhowlett: just tried that.  need to get it to paste.  piping to paste doesn’t work :S
[02:28] <necro606> see if still crashes
[02:28] <etzert> DlDit: kind of, but "lot harder" I think remains accurate
[02:28] <volt> mJayk: you'll dual-booting, I assume?
[02:28] <bjpenn> how do i reset networking in ubuntu trusty?
[02:29] <Beldar> when did this become ubuntu opinions, one ater another.
[02:29] <Beldar> after*
[02:29] <cornell> Ah... ok, cfhowlett
[02:29] <sudormrf> oops
[02:29] <varunendra> bjpenn, sudo service networking restart ?
[02:29] <waykool99> i uninstalled Tiger Security program after finding in Processes things like "sendmail", "cron" etc. under /etc was a folder named "john". very suspicious files in there.
[02:30] <cornell> cfhowlett, that won't confuse synaptic package manager, using apt-get to upgrade, will it?
[02:30] <waykool99> plus many Zombie processes.
[02:30] <cfhowlett> cornell, nope.  apt-get = the command line equivalent of what synaptic does behind the pretty gui
[02:30] <volt> cornell: there's a difference between apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:31] <DlDit> volt: You
[02:31] <bjpenn> varunendra: that doesnt work, you have any experience with 14.04?
[02:31] <volt> cornell: apt-get upgrade only installs fixes,  not new releases, and no major changes will be made.
[02:32] <sudormrf> DlDit: no PM’s please.  kthx.
[02:32] <cornell> Yes, and update.  Unfortunately, though I use Linux exclusively at home (I only do windows if you pay me)  I don't do admin type stuff often enough to remember.
[02:32] <varunendra> bjpenn, none, but what is the prolem? Why do you need networking restarted?
[02:32] <DlDit> sudormrf: Stop
[02:32] <waykool99> any Tiger users find any monkey business happening?
[02:32] <bjpenn> varunendra: its not part of a big problem
[02:32] <bjpenn> just want to perform a task
[02:33] <necro606> Ok, i am back and the 3d cube is a bit slow on 1080p settings but still works fine.
[02:33] <bjpenn> restarting the network in how 12.04 does it
[02:33] <sudormrf> Can someone please ban DlDit ?
[02:33] <bjpenn> and it cant be done in 14.04
[02:33] <etzert> What do you want, DlDit?
[02:33] <bjpenn> sohow do i accomplish the same thing?
[02:33] <etzert> (as in, what kind of responses are you trying to trigger? troll?)
[02:33] <volt> DlDit: ?
[02:33] <html> how do i mkdir  many dir then a doc.sh  and have the chmod set in one command?
[02:33] <volt> html: write a bash script
[02:33] <sudormrf> DlDit: is sending me PMs with vulgar language.
[02:33] <etzert> yes, likewise.
[02:33] <DlDit> waykool99: tiger woods was cheater
[02:34] <cfhowlett> !ops | DlDit,
[02:34] <varunendra> bjpenn, it's like saying "it tasted good last month, how to make it better now?" - without knowing what you are trying to cook.
[02:34] <html> im in one . but idk how ish to write in bash scripts. volt
[02:34] <waykool99> i just banned DLDit
[02:35] <sudormrf> waykool99: ?
[02:35] <volt> html: good time to learn.
[02:35] <cornell> I get confused about which command would do the 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade.
[02:35] <html> volt,  im listeing
[02:35] <cfhowlett> cornell, sudo do-release-upgrade
[02:35] <waykool99> DLDit sent me messages, very offensive!
[02:35] <volt> cornell: that will be sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:35] <somsip> waykool99: please report in #ubuntu-ops
[02:35] <waykool99> ok. thanks somsip
[02:36] <cfhowlett> volt, false.  sudo do-release-upgrade = 12.04 > 14.04
[02:36] <volt> It's so messy here. I don't know what's going on anymore.
[02:37] <html> wired much ? volt XD
[02:37] <volt> cfhowlett: thought that was for servers
[02:37] <sudormrf> just reported it in ubuntu-ops
[02:37] <cornell> Well, goin' with dist-upgrade... we'll see.
[02:38] <volt> html: I gotta get my ass to school. Look up bash scripting. Make use of a for loop.
[02:38] <html> volt,  what?? loop?
[02:38] <cornell> We don't see much...  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[02:39] <html> volt,  idk what you are telling me but school
[02:39] <carlosqueso> html: start here http://linuxconfig.org/bash-scripting-tutorial
[02:39] <etzert> cornell: did you install Dropbox from an Ubuntu apt repository to begin with?
[02:39] <cornell> Gotta head out for a short...
[02:39] <volt> html: Let me rephrase it. I'm late for school. Please view bash-scripting tutorials online. Then you can make use of a "for" loop to set permissions.
[02:40] <cornell> I think so etzert, I've got nautilus-dropbox installed, as indicated by synaptic.  If that's not I think it is, then maybe I did use apt-get.  Generally I prefer to use synaptic.
[02:41] <cornell> BBIAB
[02:41] <DalekSec> cornell: Yes, that's dropbox.  To update it,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure nautilus-dropbox  and it'll download a new version.
[02:41] <necro606> is there any way to disable unity in ubuntu 14.04, and have a desktop?
[02:41] <volt> And hopefully someone has something about DlDit. Kthxbye!
[02:42] <html> wow the ban hammer is fighting around alot these days.
[02:42] <etzert> cornell: ah, well, either synaptic or apt-get obviously qualifies here
[02:43] <html> necro606,  yes. you can install a different one.
[02:43] <html> carlosqueso,  thanks
[02:44] <etzert> And lightdm greeters will tend to let one choose the "session" (Unity, etc) one wants to run, so one can even switch between Unity and whatever else every time one logs in
[02:44] <carlosqueso> html, no problem...just be super-careful, unlike pretty much any other scripting system, bash scripts are super-picky about whitespace
[02:44] <html> carlosqueso,  i just want to know how to make 3-4 dir in one command then a doc
[02:46] <carlosqueso> html...you could just do mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3....dirn
[02:46] <carlosqueso> html...what program were you planning on using to create the doc with?
[02:47] <html> carlosqueso,  idk what this is . but i can show you
[02:47] <kskwmxma> (kskwmxma) When i boot computer it shows logo and then goes to a black screen that say
[02:47] <kskwmxma> (kskwmxma) Starting initializing zram swaping
[02:48] <html> carlosqueso, http://tinyurl.com/n93ujly
[02:48] <kskwmxma> Anyone
[02:49] <carlosqueso> html...sorry, that one wants me to sign up for an account
[02:49] <expunge> ooh ooh, I'm one
[02:49] <Beldar> kskwmxma, Whe did you add zram, is this associated, has it ever booted?
[02:49] <kskwmxma> Belder i didnt install that
[02:49] <html> carlosqueso,  oh. well..
[02:50] <kskwmxma> My computer always works
[02:50] <html> carlosqueso,  i guess its bash
[02:50] <html> carlosqueso,  that what it says in the header /bin/bash -e
[02:50] <necro606> Ok, so Ubuntu 14.04 was built around "Unity" . Not gnome with Unity features...
[02:51] <somsip> html: it really is best for you to go to #bash with these questions
[02:51] <html> somsip,  ok.
[02:52] <etzert> kskwmxma: apparently Linux kernels 3.13 and older (which Ubuntu 14.04 has) don't have zram support at all?
[02:52] <Beldar> kskwmxma, What does lsb_release -c say.
[02:52] <carlosqueso> html: I'm not sure what you're trying to do, are you trying to *create* a .sh file (which would be empty on creation) or *run* an .sh file?
[02:53] <etzert> well, in non-staging: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.14#head-72b295b09fea85de2e80f0b7850048264fed887e
[02:54] <erayaydin> Hello, I need an idea for disk partition. I'm using for web development & programming. (NodeJS, LAMP, C++, Java). I haven't too media files but I use many packages, too program. My disk size: 465.76GB. Is this good? : http://laravel.io/bin/6VwDP
[02:54] <expunge> erayaydin: this is what I use: /
[02:54] <expunge> actually I use / and swap =) but I needn't
[02:55] <somsip> erayaydin: proabbly more complex than you need. You may find / limiting. Just / and /home is probably enough
[02:55] <expunge> I even manage to web develop and program with that layout
[02:55] <beatnyk> would someone please tell me why this wont replace data within my php files? sed -i 's#images/facebook/*.png#images/ogimage.png#g' *php
[02:55] <erayaydin> somsip: but when I need reinstall os, Must I backup /var/www ?
[02:55] <beatnyk> i followed documentation to no avail
[02:56] <kskwmxma> Belder when i press crtl alt f2 type username it flashes and asks me for username again
[02:56] <somsip> beatnyk: probably the *. should be .*\.
[02:56] <somsip> erayaydin: yes
[02:57] <erayaydin> somsip: create a partition for /var/www bad idea ?
[02:57] <etzert> erayaydin: shouldn't you anyway, regardless of partitionining?
[02:57] <etzert> *partitioning
[02:57] <Beldar> !nomodeset | kskwmxma try this boot
[02:57] <expunge> beatnyk: what do you want it to do?
[02:57] <expunge> beatnyk: and why couldn't you answer me in #linux =P
[02:57] <beatnyk> replace a string in a pile of php files
[02:57] <beatnyk> because i feel the troll is strong with you...
[02:57] <html> :O
[02:58] <beatnyk> i could be wrong
[02:58] <beatnyk> i dont "hang" on freenode :/
[02:58] <erayaydin> I have a bad habit with partitioning :)
[02:58] <somsip> erayaydin: not as such. Just more complexity is not always helpful, and if you run low on space in a partition when you have many, you have a more tricky fix to carry out
[02:59] <erayaydin> somsip: ok. / /swap /home enought for me. I have another question. LVM using is good idea ?
[02:59] <somsip> beatnyk: repeat - * in a regex will not work like a wildcar. You need .*
[03:00] <somsip> erayaydin: no ideas on LVM. / /swap /home is usually a happy middle ground (someone will always disagree)
[03:00] <expunge> erayaydin: nope
[03:00] <beatnyk> got it
[03:00] <beatnyk> worked, thanks
[03:00] <somsip> beatnyk: k
[03:00] <sudormrf> hey guys, I am looking for a USB IR dongle that works with ubuntu that is the same size as a sandisk cruzer fit.  you guys know of any?  I am looking around right now but not finding much
[03:00] <expunge> sudormrf: might query
[03:00] <expunge> sudormrf: #hardware
[03:00] <erayaydin> Ok, thanks for everything :) Now uninstall os and reinstall :) I love start again :)
[03:00] <htmltv> erayaydin,  if you can put /swap on a differnet drive letter. it helps overall.
[03:01] <sudormrf> expunge: I am over there.  pretty dead
[03:01] <etzert> What is a "drive letter" of which you speak? :p
[03:03] <expunge> sudormrf: maybe /msg alis list *lirc*
[03:04] <htmltv> etzert,  lol i still have some windows habits - which i got to have ,
[03:04] <htmltv> etzert,  what am i suppose to say?
[03:05] <etzert> In this context? Just "drive", probably.
[03:05] <etzert> "mount point" is the closest *nix alternative to drive letter's general usage, but even in Windows, what you said isn't really using "drive letter" properly
[03:05] <etzert> i.e. the advantage of moving the pagefile is having it on a different physical spindle
[03:06] <etzert> not just repartitioning
[03:08] <etzert> (or, just get an SSD, even better)
[03:08] <masgui> hey is it possible to use /dev/video1 in google chrome as a webcam ?
[03:08] <masgui> or is it possible to swap /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 ?
[03:10] <necro606> what is the latest release of ubuntu that does not have unity built into it?
[03:10] <stu> ...
[03:10] <expunge> necro606: any release you like
[03:10] <expunge> Unity is optional
[03:10] <etzert> Just get kubuntu or lubuntu or xubuntu or whatever
[03:10] <expunge> or Ubuntu, and remove Unity
[03:10] <etzert> or that yeah
[03:10] <expunge> =)
[03:11] <etzert> apropos username
[03:11] <necro606> how would i remove unity in 14.04
[03:11] <somsip> necro606: easier to start without it
[03:11] <somsip> !minimal | necro606
[03:16] <cornell> Back
[03:16] <expunge> wb
[03:16] <expunge> !notunity | necro606
[03:16] <cornell> Thanks DalekSec:  Trying it.  It seems to stop after downloading Dropbox 100%
[03:16] <expunge> necro606: or you can install any of the foo-desktop packages (xubuntu, kubuntu, etc.), or just uninstall them all and assemble a DE piece-by-piece
[03:17] <cornell> And what is with DlDit, I may not be the most experienced novice, but do I deserve a pm "You stupid bastard"?
[03:18] <somsip> cornell: please report in #ubuntu-ops (though I think this has already been done)
[03:19] <cornell> Ok, somsip, so it's not just me.
[03:21] <somsip> cornell: no - 2 or 3 others have mentioned this
[03:22] <cornell> Ok, somsip, done.
[03:23] <cornell> And DalekSec... It's still sitting at "Downloading Dropbox... 100%"  I'm not sure that's a good thing.
[03:25] <necro606> for the gnome desplay manager i use the gdm not the light correct?
[03:25] <expunge> necro606: that would be the pure gnome-y way
[03:25] <expunge> but you can actually use any DM you want
[03:25] <expunge> and even none at all
[03:25] <expunge> cornell: and if you hit ENTER?
[03:26] <cornell> new lines, expunge.  No prompt
[03:26] <cornell> expunge: Blank, empty new lines, no information, no prompt
[03:27] <necro606> how do i envestigate the gnome-shell after installing it
[03:27] <necro606> investigate*
[03:27] <cornell> Maybe I should uninstall, and re-install.  Anyway... way past time to hit the rack.
[03:28] <cornell> Thank you all
[03:28] <cornell> TTFN
[03:30] <etzert> necro606: some interesting desktops (of a sort) outside the main desktop environments are the tiling window managers - i3, Awesome, xmonad, etc.
[03:31] <expunge> cornell: k
[03:31] <etzert> as examples of what expunge might be referrring to by putting together a desktop piece-by-piece
[03:31] <Failfarm> necro606: are you trying to install gnomedesktop ?
[03:32] <necro606> ya just for fun
[03:32] <Failfarm> where are you at do you still need help ?
[03:32] <sim590> Hi. I'm trying to chroot to a broken ubuntu partition. I do mount /dev, /proc, /sys and then chroot, but trying to use apt-get leads to a sort of fail : /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postinst: 32: /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postinst: update-info-dir: not found.
[03:32] <sim590> what should I do ?
[03:32] <necro606> the gnome pannel so far
[03:32] <Doctor_Nick> uh
[03:32] <DalekSec> cornell: Went right through for me, so I'd say it's stuck on something.  Can you (when you wake) look at the process tree and figure where you are?  But yes, purging and re-installing should certainly work.
[03:33] <Failfarm> did you need help with something ?
[03:34] <sevenbit> hello
[03:35] <etzert> sim590: generically, that lives in /usr/sbin, so ensure that exists?
[03:35] <expunge> hi seven
[03:35] <sim590> etzert: I did notice that /bin and /sbin wasn't in the $PATH. I did put append it to $PATH though..
[03:36] <necro606> can you bring up the no unity chat bot agian
[03:36] <somsip> !nounity | necro606
[03:37] <etzert> what about /usr/sbin though? that's neither /bin nor /sbin
[03:37] <sim590> etzert: oh ok. May be that's what was missing
[03:37] <expunge> those two, /bin/ and /sbin/, are mostly historical
[03:37] <expunge> they could just as well be in /usr/ in this day
[03:38] <expunge> time was, you couldn't fit all your executables in early enough, so they had to be in two places
[03:38] <etzert> Though still argued-about. Purportedly, /sbin should hold more early-boot critical software, and /sbin tended to have more static linkage, etc
[03:38] <expunge> has a clear provenance, IIRC
[03:39] <expunge> and makes sense
[03:39] <etzert> Now of course there's /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc. I'm not sure how well-delineated it all is anymore
[03:40] <somsip> etzert: FHS wiki hasmore details FWIW http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[03:40] <expunge> as I said, it's just historical
[03:40] <expunge> much is
[03:40] <sim590> etzert: so if you type -p update-info-dir gives /usr/sbin/update-info-dir ?
[03:41] <etzert> somsip: huh, interesting.
[03:41] <etzert> expunge: Lennart of Pulseaudio, systemd, etc fame agrees about merging to /usr: https://lwn.net/Articles/477467/
[03:42] <expunge> whooptie doo
[03:42] <etzert> sim590: yes
[03:43] <etzert> expunge: he's become influential, so whether you care in any personal way, he has the clout to push such visions into mainstream Linux distributions. His systemd recently beat out upstart for Debian's (and thus, it turned out, Ubuntu's) future init
[03:45] <expunge> it's hard to get excited about the opinion of someone who thinks log files should not be readable
[03:45] <somsip> as we drift rapidly off topic...
[03:45] <expunge> even then
[03:45] <rww> if we're going to have Poettering Discussion #102324092375, can it go in #ubuntu-offtopic, please?
[03:46] <etzert> Ah, yeah, shouldn't have brought it up here.
[03:49] <necro606> well, had fun learning new things about ubuntu. thanks for all the help..
[04:27] <mot19> Whats going on guys
[04:28] <Abhijit> where is mysql configuration file in ubuntu?
[04:29] <expunge> mot19: heya
[04:37] <Alexandr> hi all! ppl pls tell me, how change directory install and download files in playonlinux?
[04:47] <necro606> i found an easy way of disabling unity.
[04:48] <somsip> Abhijit: /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[04:49] <Abhijit> somsip, ok
[04:50] <cyclonis> good morning

[04:54] <ios-7-mel> hi i cant reduce my screen brightness on ubuntu 14.04
[05:05] <xtalmath> I see I can enable/disable the automounting behaviour in dconf, but can I selectively leave automounting on for USB drives, while disabling it for SD cards?
[05:13] <ios-7-mel> hi i cant reduce my screen brightness on ubuntu 14.04
[05:15] <bazhang> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/trusty/brightness-controller/ ios-7-mel
[05:22] <lbracher> Hi there! Could you point me how to set a tftpd server on Trusty that uses IPv4? TIA! :)
[05:26] <azizLIGHTS> how many users here?
[05:27] <ObrienDave> enough
[05:27] <bazhang> !ask > azizLIGHTS
[05:28] <azizLIGHTS> bazhang: my client doesnt show how many users currently present. how many users are here right now in this channel?
[05:29] <ObrienDave> which client?
[05:29] <bazhang> azizLIGHTS, why does that matter; do you have an ubuntu support question
[05:32] <azizLIGHTS> bazhang: am checking community, using the active irc users as indicator
[05:38] <pullmini> Yo!
[05:46] <nahtnam> Hey! I need a little bit of help. I ran the ubuntu updater, and it messed up my menu bar launcher settings. Whenever I open Google chrome, in the menu bar, it shows up as "Digital Ocean Control Panel - Chrome" instead of just "Google Chrome". Also it has a different launcher icon, which is slightly blurrier than the original chrome icon
[05:47] <nahtnam>  I tried uninstalling chrome, I tried purging chrome, and I also tried deleting ~/.config/google-chrome, but still when I reopen chrome, it shows up on the menu bar as Digital ocean, instead of Google Chrome.
[05:47] <nahtnam> Its really annoying and I dont know how to fix it
[05:51] <nahtnam> http://i.imgur.com/znMz5Rz.png
[05:51] <nahtnam> The top one is the actual chrome icon
[05:51] <nahtnam> the one underneath is the one that says "Digital Ocean Control Panel"
[05:51] <nahtnam> and whenever I open chrome (no matter what page it is), the Digital Ocean icon comes up
[05:52] <nahtnam> I just want to delete the digital ocean icon

[05:56] <netlar> Hi all
[06:00] <PxlVision> hey netlar
[06:04] <work_alkisg> In 12.04, `apt-cache policy libsane-hpaio` says 3.12.2 is installed, and 3.13.9 is available in precise-backports. Yet it doesn't get updated, is there some lower priority in apt for backports?
[06:09] <maksimka> Hello, 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).
[06:10] <hanasaki> maksimka:    kernel issue?
[06:11] <maksimka> hanasaki: 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] <hanasaki> its a new thing to me. sorry
[06:12] <hanasaki> what kernel versions are you on?
[06:12] <hanasaki> is the hardware anything ODD?
[06:12] <AtuM> can someone please point me to a guide on installing ubuntu desktop 14.04 on a mdraid with lvm2 on top?
[06:13] <AtuM> I couldn't make it work with ubuntu-server edition.. it just shows messages that mdraid has been started.. and loops forever
[06:13] <maksimka> hanasaki: hardware looks is fine , kernel is updated to 3.13.0-30, the error is harmless but keeps bugging me on ubuntu14.04
[06:16] <hanasaki> anyone have input on their use of filesystems other than ext3,4?     I have used ext4 exclusively... just wondering what btrfs and others are good for and when to use
[06:18] <guardianpwr08> how do i find the database id of a mysql database?
[06:18] <White_Cat> you may want to ask in #mysql
[06:19] <guardianpwr08> #mysql
[06:19] <White_Cat> not #yoursql
[06:20] <White_Cat> or #DarmokAndJaladAtSQL
[06:22] <somsip> guardianpwr08: look in /etc/mysql/my.cnf under server_id=, or SHOW variables LIKE "%server%"; in the console (possibly)
[06:22] <hanasaki> how do you start gnome/kde so that a spice client can connect ?  it's a plain system... not a kvm/qemu vm
[06:26] <barbara> danny
[06:39] <Busserl> hanasaki: I tried btrfs
[06:39] <hanasaki> and?
[06:40] <Busserl> hanasaki: 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.
[06:42] <hanasaki> Busserl:  haven't read send/receive yet :(
[06:43] <Busserl> hanasaki: 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.
[06:44] <hanasaki> Busserl:  I was thinking... /boot on its own ext4 and then /   /var/   /tmp etc in subvolumes so they can be resized
[06:45] <Busserl> hanasaki: 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] <Busserl> *are
[06:45] <Busserl> hanasaki: oh, yes, /boot is on ext4, I forgot that.
[06:46] <sdfe234sdf> 486
[06:46] <sdfe234sdf> 48656
[06:46] <sdfe234sdf> 46146
[06:46] <sdfe234sdf> 4846846
[06:46] <somsip> !test | sdfe234sdf
[06:46] <sdfe234sdf> hi everyone
[06:47] <Busserl> hanasaki: 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] <hanasaki> Busserl:  what about raid mirror and nbd?
[06:48] <Busserl> hanasaki: I don't use raid, or btrfs over network, other than using the machine as a cifs server, no problems there.
[06:49] <pritam> hi
[06:56] <Busserl> hanasaki: I also use it as a iSCSI target, without issues.
[06:56] <Busserl> hanasaki: however, the luns are file level, I think block level would not work.
[06:57] <Busserl> Which makes sense, since I have only one partition, I am tired.
[06:58] <juretriglav> hi there. perhaps someone will know this: why does us.archive.ubuntu.com sometime resolve to 32.1.6.124, which is dead as a door knob, and other times (i.e. on other machines) to 91.189.91.15, which is fine.
[06:59] <somsip> juretriglav: your IP DNS service may well be at fault there
[06:59] <juretriglav> you mean my ISP?
[06:59] <somsip> juretriglav: yep - typo
[07:01] <juretriglav> that was a well placed observation, somsip, looks like it’s my router’s DNS messing up actually
[07:01] <juretriglav> thanks for that
[07:01] <somsip> juretriglav: np. Lucky guess :)
[07:02] <ObrienDave> when you're good, you're good ;P
[07:02] <salah> Is there any ways to see the release notes/features on 14.10 or is it a State secret? I simply can't find any info....
[07:03] <somsip> salah: it's stil in development. Not worth finalising docs when packages are still being decide on, eh?
[07:03] <somsip> !14.10 | salah
[07:04] <salah> somsip: Off course, but you do have any plans right...? Like what do you want to achieve with this version?
[07:05] <somsip> salah: Links in the factoid above. Discussions in #ubuntu+1
[07:07] <salah> I don't get it. Every time I have waited for a new version, like which kernel, which version of gnome etc etc. Why not this time? And it's october now, so some things must be ready?
[07:07] <somsip> salah: and discussions on 14.10 should be addressed to #ubuntu+1 channel.
[07:07] <somsip> salah: PS, it's September
[07:08] <salah> somsip: hahah ok it's still early morning :p
[07:08] <cfhowlett> salah, discuss in the proper channel ...#ubuntu+1
[07:08] <somsip> salah: * early morning on 2nd September ;)
[07:08] <salah> hahah, OK I will shut up now. But only because I failed on the month :P
[07:12] <juretriglav> somsip: I report great success! upgraded fw, probably nuked the dns cache, and we’re back in business
[07:12] <somsip> juretriglav: cool
[07:13] <netlar> Is Google Chrome not completely compatible in Ubuntu?
[07:13] <somsip> netlar: it should be fine. What is the problem?
[07:13] <gansteed> failed to start session. How can I fix it? I've tried it.
[07:14] <netlar> somsip: Well when I first install it, everything works fine
[07:14] <gansteed> I've tried `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall`
[07:14] <ObrienDave> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[07:14] <netlar> somsip: But when I reboot, there are then two Google Chrome apps that show up, the second one says "New Tab - Google Chrome" so strange
[07:15] <gansteed> I've tried it but it still 'failed to start session'
[07:15] <netlar> somsip: Also when I run Chrome, two apps show up in the launch bar
[07:15] <somsip> netlar: so when you first login, Google Chrome starts up twice? Once shows a new tab. What does the other show? What are your default 'On start' settings in Chrome?
[07:17] <netlar> somsip: yes it comes up twice, and one of them is called "New tab Google chrome" and not just Google Chrome
[07:17] <netlar> somsip: It also keeps telling me that it was not shut down correctly
[07:18] <somsip> netlar: try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/347408/google-chrome-opens-two-tabs-when-opened
[07:18] <netlar> somsip: the start up option is the New Tab page option
[07:20] <netlar> somsip: ok, let me try that, I probably need to reboot?
[07:22] <netlar> somsip: cause that did not fix it
[07:22] <netlar> somsip: Could it be a bad theme?
[07:34] <netlar> I am still having that same problem with Google Chrome showing up twice, here is the screen shot http://imgur.com/JSqJ255
[07:35] <netlar> And when I open up the one that is labled Google Chrome, it opens up the one that says New Tab - Google Chrome
[07:38] <brook> have you tried it in terminal: '$>  google-chrome-stable' ?
[07:39] <netlar> brook: I may have found the problem
[07:39] <brook> okay.
[07:39] <netlar> There were so a few instances in my .local/share/application folder
[07:39] <netlar> I am going to reinstall now to see what happens
[07:41] <AtuM> is there a known way to install ubuntu-desktop on mdraid and use lvm2 on top (except /boot if so needed) ?
[07:44] <netlar> brook: Yes that was it
[07:44] <netlar> brook: I think I was trying to change the icon of Chrome and somehow currupted the application
[07:45] <brook> :-)
[07:45] <netlar> I need to stop messing around with stuff lol
[07:48] <ObrienDave> easier said than done :)
[07:58] <Tokku> So... did I not set up ufw correctly, or is it just really quiet here?
[07:58] <AtuM> Tokku, quiet
[07:58] <AtuM> :)
[07:59] <Tokku> Aha! Good to see :)
[08:05] <netlar> I have another problem with Google Chrome now
[08:05] <netlar> Everytime I reboot and then go back into Google Chrome , it keeps saying it is not shutting down properly
[08:06] <netlar> Not sure how to fix this
[08:06] <netlar> Would this be a incompatible extension?
[08:09] <oleole> Hey. I’m trying to get my 3G modem (ZTE MF665C) working on 12.04, and Ubuntu sees the modem, and I set it up through the network manager. It also shows that it is connected (it says Connection Established). And in the top toolbar I see it is connected with one bar of signal strength, so there should be signal.
[08:09] <oleole> But I cannot ping or use the internet at all
[08:10] <oleole> Any ideas on what to do?
[08:10] <terminator> What is the channel for xwindows programming?
[08:10] <oleole> (it works fine on my Mac, so it’s not because there’s no signal out here)
[08:11] <tortib> hey everyone.  How can I remove a guid bit set on a dir?
[08:11] <tortib> chmod -R 0705 /var isn't working for example.
[08:13] <Cuppa_coffee> anybody know why in ubuntu 14.04 with chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64bit) the rendering of text in Gmail has gone complete cuckoo?
[08:14] <Cuppa_coffee> and/or how to fix it?
[08:15] <Cuppa_coffee> text renders fine on firefox, btw. Is there irc support for chrome?
[08:15] <superkuh> So, I'm upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Mid-way through installation the process just stalled out. Pretty much exactly the error strings as in http://askubuntu.com/questions/453831/help-online-upgrade-from-12-04-to-14-04-stuck .
[08:17] <TJ-> oleole: check "/var/log/syslog" for clues
[08:19] <Beldar> superkuh, How many 3rd party repos had you added?
[08:20] <superkuh> Tons. All disabled. I am running MATE 1.6 desktop.
[08:20] <superkuh> I figured it out, maybe. I killed the "frontend" process that had hung on processing man-db. Then it started running again.
[08:21] <superkuh> Currently writing up the answer for others that will encounter my situation.
[08:21] <Beldar> superkuh, disabled does not remove the packages they installed, you should have purged them.
[08:21] <superkuh> Then why even have a dist-upgrade?
[08:21] <superkuh> If I should just be installing on a clean OS.
[08:21] <oleole> TJ-: The only thing I can notice in the log is “nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver: assertion ‘nameserver > 0’ failed”
[08:21] <Beldar> superkuh, dist upgrades have limitations one being you knowing what to do.
[08:22] <superkuh> Right. But this issue wasn't really caused by my 3rd party repos.
[08:22] <superkuh> The other error reports of the issue were sometimes clean, purged, OS.
[08:22] <oleole> But afterwards it says “Registering new address record for 2.131…….”, and “Using nameserver 212.242………”
[08:22] <superkuh> It is something related to perl handling of the man-db update.
[08:23] <Beldar> superkuh, I don;t think that is more than an opinion, not empirical.
[08:23] <superkuh> I do appreciate you giving advice, regardless. Good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.
[08:24] <Beldar> generally an upgrade works, if it is ubuntu repo packages is all
[08:29] <Vladimir_> I have made an automatic backup script, but when the file is sent to my tftp they are always the same name backup.cfg, so next time it sends the file it overwrites the old one, but I want to keep the old one. So is there a way to append time/date to the filename when it's created on the tftp server directory ?
[08:29] <TJ-> superkuh: Does the "/var/log/dist-upgrade/DpkgTerminal.log (or whatever it is called) show more detail of the error?
[08:29] <oleole> TJ-: ifconfig shows this: http://pastebin.com/9N25jeq0
[08:29] <Vladimir_> h
[08:30] <TJ-> oleole: is the routing table correctly configured ("ip route show") ?
[08:31] <superkuh> TJ-,
[08:31] <superkuh> er... http://pastebin.com/gJQC7UYG
[08:32] <oleole> TJ-: Hmm, it shows “default via 10.211…….”, and not 2.131….. shouldn’t it be the IP of my 3G dongle?
[08:32] <superkuh> So 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] <superkuh> The 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.
[08:34] <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 all
[08:35] <TJ-> supergauntlet: Sure, but the terminal log (if there is one) can sometimes reveal more information about what lead up to it
[08:35] <TJ-> superkuh: (grrrr @ tab-completion) Sure, but the terminal log (if there is one) can sometimes reveal more information about what lead up to it
[08:35] <superkuh> terminal.log doesn't exist. term.log is empty.
[08:36] <TJ-> superkuh: It's a long time since I had to dig in detail but there is a dpkg terminal log - try in "/var/log/dpkg/"
[08:38] <superkuh> There is an apt-term.log. Going through it now.
[08:40] <sveinse> Why does ubuntu _postfix_ the gcc version after the command, when lots and lots of code (including kernel) assumes $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc. Does anyone know about a method for getting around this?
[08:41] <hanasaki> how can a windows / mac / linux bring up the kdm or gdm or ldm greeter to login?
[08:41] <sveinse> E.g. arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.7 to compile kernel is more difficult to use
[08:41] <oleole> TJ-: Just tried on my other 12.04 box, and ip route show returns “default dev usb0 proto static”
[08:41] <oleole> and “169.XXX.0.0/16 dev usb0 scope link metric 1000”
[08:42] <oleole> When I try to ping 169.XXX.0.0 I just get “Destination host unreachable”
[08:43] <usuarioprincipal> Hi how can i install sound on ubuntu 14.10?
[08:43] <TJ-> oleole: 169.254.0.0/16 are link-local IPv4 address ranges; used for autoconf when DHCP isn't available and no static IP address has been configured
[08:44] <oleole> TJ-: Okay, so that’s maybe the problem. But I’ve set IPv4 settings to “Automatic (PPP)” in network configuration, so it should get it?
[08:44] <oleole> And it works fine on my Mac
[08:44] <oleole> It’s just weird when Ubuntu sees the dongle, asks for pincode and I send the pin, and it shows the connection strength… But no internet
[08:44] <TJ-> oleole: It could be a modem manager issue
[08:45] <Vladimir_> Is it possible to add a specific name to a file if the file comes from a specific IP ?
[08:45] <oleole> TJ-: Should I try wvdial or something else?
[08:45] <antonio__> Hey folks
[08:46] <Vladimir_> I want to append a word and time/date to a filename when it comes to a directory
[08:46] <MaxRide> Anyone want to help with a WiFi issue? Keeps asking for the password, even though the previous one was correct.
[08:46] <usuarioprincipal> sorry i am in a wrong channel
[08:46] <antonio__> Is there any really simple text editor that can do certain formatting (bold, italics, underline, etc)...a wysiwyg editor?  I need something that is not bloated with toolbars, etc.  I need to edit 5 documents at once like in this picture https://www.anonimg.com/img/2eee356604e79510e5d45431518b3b1e.jpg
[08:48] <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] <MaxRide> antonio__, 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...
[08:49] <oleole> TJ-: 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?)
[08:50] <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 for
[08:50] <TJ-> oleole: I was pretty clear about using mmcli
[08:50] <oleole> Alright
[08:50] <oleole> But I don’t have any package called mmcli
[08:50] <TJ-> oleole: NM calls on MM for all modem related work
[08:51] <oleole> TJ-: mmcli: command not found
[08:51] <TJ-> oleole: There isn't one, the program is part of the modemmanager package
[08:51] <sveinse> TJ-: 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 IMHO
[08:52] <TJ-> oleole: "dpkg -L modemmanager | grep mmcli" =>"/usr/bin/mmcli"
[08:52] <oleole> Ahh
[08:52] <antonio__> MaxRide: I'm using Notepad via wine.  I can't do any special formatting
[08:53] <oleole> TJ-: But there is no mmcli
[08:53] <MaxRide> antonio__,  Oh, if you already have WINE working why not just try running wordpad or something? Keep in mind, the hosting site for your example picture timed out on me.
[08:53] <grobe0ba> oleole, november mike charlie lima oscar   not  mike mike charlie
[08:54] <oleole> grobe0ba: But TJ- is very specific about it being mmcli and not nmcli
[08:54] <TJ-> grobe0ba: No, please don't confuse the issue
[08:54] <grobe0ba> oh, disregard
[08:54] <grobe0ba> thought you were talking about NM
[08:54] <grobe0ba> my bad
[08:54] <eeee> e@e:~$ mmcli --help
[08:54] <eeee> Usage:
[08:54] <eeee>   mmcli [OPTION...] - Control and monitor the ModemManager
[08:55] <eeee> i'll add that the help file seems badly written, insane use of tabs
[08:55] <TJ-> oleole: Is the package installed? "apt-cache policy modemmanager" ?
[08:55] <geirha> oh nice, that won't be easy to confuse with NetworkManager's nmcli at all
[08:56] <TJ-> geirha: That's the point, they are closely related and do the same domain-specific tasks, from the CLI
[08:56] <grobe0ba> geirha, i know, right?
[08:57] <TJ-> I'd rather have the CLI tools than try to use raw DBus!
[08:57] <oleole> TJ-: Yep it’s installed
[08:57] <oleole> But dpkg -L modemmanager doesn’t have any mmcli
[08:57] <TJ-> oleole: what Ubuntu release is it?
[08:57] <oleole> 12.04
[08:58] <Frank_Leach_> I need a little help with using IRC chat to access this chatpage, currently using browser version and having trouble with the XChat application. Can anyone help?
[08:58] <TJ-> oleole: Ahhhh! I don't think mmcli was available when 12.04 was released
[08:58] <oleole> Ahh that’s maybe why
[08:58] <rodrigograca31> Frank_Leach_: what do you need?
[08:59] <TJ-> oleole: That's a pain/shame - it makes solving this kind of modem issue a breeze
[08:59] <Frank_Leach_> How do I pm Rodrigograca?
[08:59] <oleole> TJ-: Yeah, I also need to update to 14.04, but right now all our equipment runs on 12.04, so I need to get it working
[09:00] <oleole> TJ-: Any other ideas?
[09:00] <Frank_Leach_> I need to set up Xchat with my personal log in deails, otherwise it assigns me a random guest number
[09:01] <TJ-> oleole: I'm wondering if the specifc ZTE device configuration isn't know about since it may not have been around when the 12.04 modemmanager packages were published
[09:02] <TJ-> oleole: Looking at the files including in the package, I see some mention of ZTE. It might be worth reviewing the udev triggers for clues/inspiration at "/lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-zte-port-types.rules"
[09:02] <oleole> TJ-: That could very well be..
[09:03] <oleole> TJ-: lsusb shows my modem as Bus 001 Device 013: ID 19d2:0143 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
[09:03] <TJ-> oleole: If the modem isn't being correctly configured (maybe configured using a default ZTE set of parameters which don't work for this device) you may be able to figure out changes to make it work, but looking at the same udev rules file from 14.04
[09:04] <ofdm> I am trying to install a :i386 package on a 64bit-machine. The package depends on gdb:i386. However I have dgb:amd64 already installed. How do I solve this conflict?
[09:04] <TJ-> oleole: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8213867/
[09:05] <TJ-> oleole: The other possibility is that usb_modeswitch doesn't know how to put the modem into the correct function configuration
[09:06] <fergusN> \LUSERS
[09:06] <oleole> TJ-: Maybe. It’s just weird it can get the signal strength etc
[09:07] <jjavaholic> http://pastebin.com/xTXMZaF7
[09:07] <TJ-> oleole: Agreed, but it could be something silly like the device presents 3 serial TTYs, the status TTY is connected correctly, but the data and debug TTYs are reversed
[09:07] <oleole> Ahh maybe
[09:08] <jjavaholic> what damage would sudo chmod 700 -Rfv /usr/lib/firefox do?
[09:08] <usr13> jjavaholic: Probably not much, but you can fix it.
[09:09] <jjavaholic> how can I fix it?
[09:09] <jjavaholic> I can't seem to install firefox
[09:09] <oleole> TJ-: This is my conf file: http://pastebin.com/acghskyr
[09:09] <oleole> 21 lines shorter than yours..
[09:09] <usr13> jjavaholic: Directories should be 755 files should be 644
[09:09] <TJ-> oleole: Here's the 14.04 usb-modeswitch udev rules: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8213888/
[09:10] <TJ-> oleole: There's a lot of ZTE devices listed in there, but I didn't notice the 665 named specifically in a comment on a quick glance
[09:10] <oleole> TJ-: It doesn’t contain mine (MF665C)
[09:10] <oleole> Yeah exactly
[09:10] <Beldar> jjavaholic, What ubuntu release is this and why is firefox gone?
[09:10] <oleole> TJ-: I should just get a Huawei one… They seems to be better supported
[09:11] <jjavaholic> I tried to clear firefox install
[09:11] <jjavaholic> been having problems of high CPU usage
[09:11] <Beldar> jjavaholic, how and why?
[09:11] <usr13> jjavaholic: cd /usr/lib/firefox Change Permissions to files only: find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
[09:11] <jjavaholic> and flash crashes with firefox install
[09:11] <TJ-> oleole: That doesn't mean one of the entries doesn't cover it. If I were you I'd back-up the 2 12.04 versions of those files, install the trusty versions, and then unplug/replug the modem... You won't be any worse off, and it'll be a useful data-point as to whether updated support is required.
[09:11] <usr13> jjavaholic: Change Permissions to directories only: find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[09:12] <usr13> jjavaholic: Actually, you can just delete it and re-install firefox
[09:12] <jjavaholic> sudo apt-get remove firefox and then sudo apt-get purge firefox thinking remove didn't work
[09:12] <usr13> jjavaholic: The operative word was *delete*
[09:13] <oleole> TJ-: Should I reboot after replacing them?
[09:13] <Beldar> jjavaholic, Note I preface with your nick; addressing you. What ubuntu release is this?
[09:13] <jjavaholic> I have just been thinking that
[09:13] <jjavaholic> 14.04
[09:13] <usr13> jjavaholic: rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox
[09:13] <rodrigograca31> Anyone here cna help with some git questions/problems?
[09:14] <TJ-> oleole: No, it shouldn't be necessary
[09:14] <usr13> jjavaholic: You can still use the package manager.  First remove the package.
[09:14] <usr13> jjavaholic: Uninstall firefox
[09:14] <jost> rodrigograca31: just ask, don't ask to ask :-)
[09:15] <rodrigograca31> jost:
[09:15] <rodrigograca31> jost: I asked because this is a ubuntu channel...
[09:15] <TJ-> oleole: It'd be good to see the tail of "/var/log/kern.log" showing the device being connected and then usb-modeswitch reconfiguring it as a modem: "pastebinit <(tail -n 1000 /var/log/kern.log)"
[09:15] <usr13> jjavaholic: chmod 755 /usr/lib/firefox
[09:16] <rodrigograca31> my question is: how can I merge two branches to another one with just one commit?
[09:16] <jost> rodrigograca31: does the third branch already exist?
[09:16] <TJ-> rodrigograca31: You mean squash the commits?
[09:16] <usr13> jjavaholic: Remove firefox completely and just download and install manually if you want.
[09:17] <oleole> TJ-: I will just try that
[09:17] <TJ-> rodrigograca31: see for example: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History#Squashing-Commits
[09:17] <rodrigograca31> jost: yes.
[09:17] <jjavaholic> does it matter if I remove /usr/bin/firefox?
[09:18] <usr13> jjavaholic: Just download firefox, unpack it, move resulting directory to /usr/lib/firefox
 what damage would sudo chmod 700 -Rfv /usr/lib/firefox do?  Did you do this?
[09:18] <usr13> jjavaholic: I've given you a couple of ways to do it.  The choice is yours.
[09:19] <jjavaholic> I would probably learn more by downloading and moving archive to /usr/lib/firefox
[09:19] <oleole> TJ-: After replacing those two files, it doesn’t even notice the 3G modem. It’s shown in lsusb, but network manager doesn’t recognize it
[09:19] <Beldar> jjavaholic, I have the feeling you have been doing voodoo you should not be doing these questions you ask are a red flag.
[09:19] <jjavaholic> I don't really know how the packmanager would deal or not deal with that
[09:20] <usr13> jjavaholic: But if you do it that way, subsequent updates will be up to you.  But that's ok...
[09:20] <rodrigograca31> jost: 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?
[09:21] <jnhghy> ubuntu 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] <jjavaholic> I suspected permissions errors somewhere causing higher CPU usage for basis window painting
[09:21] <oleole> TJ-: I just rebooted the computer
[09:21] <Beldar> jnhghy, Not there stock, hold on.
[09:22] <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] <jost> rodrigograca31: 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 it
[09:23] <Beldar> jnhghy, Install gnome-tweak it comes up as tweak you can them add there, might need a logut after is all.
[09:23] <usr13> jjavaholic: See my pm
[09:23] <oleole> TJ-: Trying to revert to the old ones, and give you the tail of kern.log
[09:24] <jnhghy> Beldar: thanks ... a tutorial about it? or is it intuitive?
[09:24] <rodrigograca31> jost: yes theire are based on master, and yes i just want to avoid two commits, since it "looks bad" ;)
[09:24] <Beldar> jnhghy, I use the shell, I just opened tweak.
[09:24] <Beldar> jnhghy, dconf-editor I think can do it as well.
[09:25] <tinyowl> Hello
[09:25] <tinyowl> Which one should I use? OpenOffice? Libreoffice?
[09:26] <Beldar> jnhghy, here is a thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210844&page=2
[09:26] <k1l> tinyowl: libreoffice is in the ubuntu repos. so use that
[09:26] <jnhghy> thank you very much Beldar!
[09:26] <Beldar> no prob
[09:26] <jost> rodrigograca31: Hmm, don't know... this looks good: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16208144/how-do-i-merge-multiple-branches-into-master

[09:33] <developer_> How do you make a 100GB partition out of a 1TB disk using 'parted'?
[09:34] <geirha> jjavaholic: the problem is most likely in ~/.mozilla/firefox
[09:35] <Abhijit> developer_, man parted
[09:35] <developer_> Ok, done that
[09:35] <oleole> TJ-: Log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8213999/
[09:36] <developer_> I guess to be more specific,
[09:36] <Abhijit> :-o
[09:36] <Abhijit> developer_, type "man parted" in terminal
[09:36] <developer_> how does one do it in such a way where you don't have to specify START and END MB?
[09:36] <Abhijit> ok
[09:36] <ObrienDave> developer_, you don't
[09:36] <developer_> basically, is there an option/argument that will allow one to just specify the size of the partition?
[09:36] <Abhijit> developer_, maybe try fdilk? not sure though
[09:36] <developer_> to be created
[09:37] <Abhijit> fdisk
[09:37] <ObrienDave> developer_, well, yes, you can specify just the size
[09:37] <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 inte
[09:37] <TJ-> rface. I had precisely the same issue with a Huawei E3131.
[09:38] <TJ-> oleole: Whatever IPv4 address the device has, just do "http://<ip>" from a browser... see what you find
[09:38] <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 interface
[09:39] <AtuM> has anyone installed ubuntu-desktop to a mdraid (r1) and set-up lvm2 on top?
[09:39] <AtuM> the 14.04 release?
[09:39] <oleole> TJ-: Aha.. I’ll try that
[09:40] <ObrienDave> developer_, sorry, i was thinking gparted
[09:40] <rodrigograca31> jost: Know what? let's stop trying things and just do two merge commits ;)
[09:40] <oleole> TJ-: I can’t connect to that IP :(
[09:40] <oleole> But I will connect to my other computer which is not a Mac (also running 12.04)
[09:40] <developer_> ObrienDave I don't see a gparted
[09:40] <ObrienDave> install it
[09:41] <developer_> Ok
[09:42] <TJ-> oleole: This might be relevant: http://www.elevendroids.com/2014/06/changing-zte-mf823-4g-modem-ip-address/
[09:42] <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] <josmala> Is there a way somehow put timelock on root account/sudo ability?
[09:43] <developer_> Performance in the perspective of the users/applications that will use the partition/disk.
[09:43] <developer_> ?
[09:43] <ObrienDave> developer_, no
[09:44] <oleole> TJ-: I’ll just try setting it up on my other machine, which is a “real” PC running 12.04. Maybe the kern.log will be different
[09:44] <Sillopotatis> hey
[09:44] <Sillopotatis> do you know if it is possible to command a linux SSH server to reboot into a windows partition, remotely?
[09:44] <tobiasBora> Hello !
[09:45] <Sillopotatis> Hello
[09:45] <Sillopotatis> The server is based on ubuntu
[09:45] <Sillopotatis> Any idea is welcome
[09:45] <tobiasBora> I can't manage to make my bluetooth work... The adaptater isn't recognized, do you have any solution for this ? I don't even know how to get the name of my bluetooth adaptator...
[09:46] <Sillopotatis> lsusb -v should tell you the name of the adapter
[09:46] <Sillopotatis> i think
[09:47] <Alexander> Hello
[09:47] <TJ-> Sillopotatis: Yes, if you manually alter GRUB's grub.cfg and set the 'default' menu entry it should boot
[09:49] <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 PC
[09:50] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Yes I'm sure the BT is present, it works from Windows
[09:50] <tobiasBora> *on
[09:51] <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 there
[09:51] <redbeard_> Does anyone have the problem that ubuntu 14.04 with xchat-gnome does not show the check mark, when enabling or disabling auto-joining a channel?
[09:51] <yoav> Hey! A (hopefully) quick question. I tried to uninstall libicu (needed 4.8 and 5.2 was installed), and it took along with it a large part of other packages
[09:51] <superkuh> Whee. My solution of just killing the stalled process during the 12.04 to 14.04 update worked perfectly.
[09:52] <bigel> bonjour
[09:52] <yoav> Is there a quick way to reinstall the "base system" packages without a full reinstall?
[09:52] <bigel> je suis français

[09:53] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Thank you ! Here are the results of these commands, I don't see many things linked with bluetooth...

[09:54] <TJ-> tobiasBora: USB "0489:e069"
[09:55] <antonio__> Does anyone know how I can access wordpad via wine?
[09:57] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Really ? How do you know that ? ^^
[09:57] <Ramesses> have another, better
[09:57] <Sillopotatis> Hey
[09:57] <Sillopotatis> I solved my issue'
[09:58] <Sillopotatis> Inside of ubuntu I use GRUB customizer GUI to change the boot order
[09:58] <Sillopotatis> Now I need to find a similiar application for Win 7
[09:59] <oleole> TJ-: Hmm, the kern.log on my other computer is just filled with “No room on ep ring”….
[09:59] <oleole> So I can’t really see much
[09:59] <antonio__> Does anyone know how I can access wordpad via wine?
[09:59] <oleole> But it sees the modem usb, but still no internet
[10:01] <TJ-> oleole: Well, from my experience, the embedded web server has to be used to enable the connection when the device is in Ethernet mode
[10:01] <tobiasBora> TJ-: And do you know how to make it work ?
[10:01] <TJ-> tobiasBora: what does "rfkill list" report?
[10:02] <tobiasBora> Averything is on "no" : http://paste.kde.org/pctqdktrm
[10:02] <tobiasBora> TJ-: ^^
[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 address
[10:03] <TJ-> tobiasBora: OK, so the Bluetooth module is there and not blocked
[10:03] <oleole> TJ-: 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] <oleole> s/port/ip/
[10:04] <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 itself
[10:05] <TJ-> tobiasBora: What does "hcitool dev" report?
[10:05] <oleole> TJ-: But I already have a local apache server on my Ubuntu machine… -.-
[10:05] <oleole> So entering the IP of the modem just returns my apache server :D
[10:06] <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] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Nothing : http://paste.kde.org/p6thpjcnk
[10:06] <superkuh> No vlc for 14.04?
[10:06] <TJ-> tobiasBora: OK, show us the kernel log "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"
[10:07] <oleole> TJ-: 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] <superkuh> Hm. Alright. Just issues from my non-recommended dist-upgrade then.
[10:08] <TJ-> oleole: is the modem device still presenting 'usb0' as its interface?
[10:08] <oleole> TJ-: Yep, ifconfig shows ‘usb0’
[10:08] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Right here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8214224/
[10:08] <TJ-> oleole: OK, and usb0 has an IP address that you didn't manually configure?
[10:09] <oleole> TJ-: Yes
[10:09] <oleole> 83.74.XX.XX
[10:09] <oleole> ipv4 settings are “Automatic (PPP)” in network manager
[10:10] <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] <elmcrest> hi 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 using
[10:11] <TJ-> oleole: Are you able to temporarily reconfigure that connection to use the Method "DHCP" ?
[10:11] <oleole> TJ-: 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 address
[10:12] <oleole> My kern.log is bloated with “ERROR no rom on ep ring” messages.. So you can’t really see anything
[10:12] <TJ-> oleole: So long since I used 12.04 on these things I can't remember what tools and services are available.
[10:13] <TJ-> oleole: OK, lets do it manually. Disconnect and Disable that modem connection temporarily
[10:13] <oleole> TJ-: Done
[10:14] <TJ-> oleole: Now lets see if we can find the ethernet MAC of the device and possibly its IP: "arp -ni usb0"
[10:15] <oleole> “in 1 entries no match found”
[10:15] <oleole> TJ-:
[10:15] <TJ-> oleole: from the previous kern.log we know it has the MAC "02:e8:5d:1c:71:12"
[10:15] <oleole> TJ-: Yes, but I don’t know if Parallels emulates that MAC address or something. I’m on a real physical PC now
[10:15] <jayvi> hey I have a couple of weird logs come up at the end of the list after "sudo apt-get update", it tells me that I have multiple duplicate sources.list entries. How do i fix this?
[10:15] <superkuh> "vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1) but 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1 is to be installed"
[10:16] <TJ-> oleole: OK lets get manual. "sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.32.101 netmask 255.255.255.0"
[10:16] <oleole> Done
[10:17] <oleole> TJ-: So now it shows up in ifconfig
[10:17] <oleole> TJ-: The MAC you wrote is correct
[10:17] <yaowenrui_> weclome to ubuntu channel is logon
[10:17] <TJ-> tobiasBora: Lines from 982 show the BT USB device being detected, but it sounds like the device is too new for the kernel, and it doesn't recognise the vendor:product ID in the btusb driver
[10:18] <TJ-> oleole: OK, now try pinging what we guess to be the IP of the device! "ping -nc 5 -I usb0 192.168.32.1"
[10:19] <yaowenrui_> ok install a new iso?
[10:19] <TJ-> oleole: if that doesn't work we'll try another address range
[10:19] <yaowenrui_> new version of bt
[10:19] <oleole> TJ-: Hmm, it just says “Bad preload value, should be 1…65536”

[10:22] <TJ-> oleole: Then try "ping -nc 5 -I usb0 192.168.0.1"

[10:24] <jayvi> yes it is
[10:24] <TJ-> oleole: OK, try dis/re-connecting it, its probably still in PPP bridge mode. Ensure first that the Network Manager connection for it is still disabled so that doesn't kick in
[10:24] <jayvi> thats how i run 14.04

[10:25] <oleole> TJ-: dis/re-connected.
[10:25] <k1l> superkuh: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to make sure you are on the latest updates
[10:26] <superkuh> I just finished that.
[10:26] <superkuh> But okay.
[10:26] <oleole> TJ-: Still cannot ping
[10:26] <superkuh> Nah, that wasn't it.
[10:26] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Hum... So I don't have any other solution than waiting ? Can I propose myself as a "tester" for solution if the dev team doesn't have this computer ?

[10:28] <k1l> superkuh: can you pastebin that output of the install?
[10:28] <cfhowlett> !nvidia| yaowenrui_
[10:28] <oleole> TJ-: After I reconnected it, I did "sudo ifconfig usb0 down" then "sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0"
[10:28] <oleole> And then "ping -nc 5 -I usb0 192.168.0.1"

[10:31] <k1l> superkuh: you got PPAs active that make this trouble?
[10:31] <superkuh> Nope.
[10:31] <TJ-> oleole: possibly, or possibly it was put into a different internal state by being used as a serial modem previously on the Mac. It's hard to say, but we do know what it is supposed to do. The fact it was handling the PPP correctly suggests it knows what it is doing, but I still think it is waiting to authorise the connection
[10:31] <yaowenrui_> thank you tj that was help
[10:32] <frezix> hi, not sure in which channel I should ask this so I hope it's ok if I ask it in multiple channels: The latest Chromium update (Version 36.0.1985.125 Built on Ubuntu 12.04, running on elementary OS 0.2.1 (283153)) disabled my smooth scrolling (on Reddit amongst many sites). However, when I go to chrome://flags/#enable-smooth-scrolling it's not set to Disabled. How do I enable smooth scrolling again?
[10:32] <superkuh> It seems like a pretty common problem after dist-upgrade to 14.04 according to google.
[10:32] <oleole> TJ-: Maybe.. It’s just strange that it gets signal, sends the pincode to unlock etc..
[10:32] <tobiasBora> TJ-: But there is something strange : line 985 I can read "Manufacturer: Mediatek" (which is the same as my Wifi that Isn't supported by default), while lsusb gives me the compagny "Foxconn"...
[10:33] <oleole> TJ-: I’ll have to try another modem that I know works out of the box
[10:33] <dimm_> hello, All!
[10:33] <tobiasBora> TJ-: "hciconfig -a" gives nothing...
[10:33] <TJ-> oleole: I agree, on the face of it I'd say its an ISP/cellular operator issue, but as you have it working on the Mac, it would seem more likely a local config issue
[10:33] <dimm_> need some help with building module for DLink DWA-125 (2001:3c1e)
[10:33] <TJ-> tobiasBora: Which Ubuntu release are you using?
[10:33] <pdo_fn14> # ubuntu-mate?.
[10:33] <tobiasBora> TJ-: Kubuntu 14.04
[10:34] <oleole> TJ-: Yeah… I’ll try to set up a VM with 14.04 and see if it works. If not, I’ll just get another modem from Huawei instead of ZTE.
[10:35] <Echo209> >using Mac
[10:35] <oleole> TJ-: But thank you so much for your help. Sad we wasn’t able to get it working :) It’s much appreciated!
[10:35] <dimm_> where i can find source for module rt5370sta?
[10:35] <TJ-> tobiasBora: So a recent kernel then; hmmm, I'm seeing reports on an Italian Ubuntu forum showing it working: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php%3Fp%3D4633814
[10:35] <TJ-> oleole: I bet it is something obvious!
[10:35] <superkuh> Welp. This was a huge mistake.
[10:35] <oleole> TJ-: It usually is :D
[10:35] <superkuh> Should've just gone to 12.04.5, or whatever that kernel side only update was.
[10:35] <k1l> superkuh: "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d"

[10:36] <superkuh> I never did install anything from djcj-vlc-stable.
[10:36] <pdo_fn14> Will it become true ever for # ubuntu-mate?.
[10:37] <superkuh> And disabled it right after I added it.
[10:37] <superkuh> It was *after* I had these issues that I added it for the first time.
[10:38] <superkuh> That said, I tried ppa-purge'ing it before I came here. No go on that.

[10:41] <xxoo> hi
[10:42] <xxoo> hello
[10:42] <xxoo> hai
[10:42] <k1l> superkuh: that seems to be an issue form old PPAs being now an issue with the installed packages
[10:42] <cfhowlett> xxoo, ask  your ubuntu questions
[10:42] <superkuh> I guess. I just have no idea how to track down the problem.

[10:43] <superkuh> In that first paste I noted that sequence of depends that were seeming to cause the issue. And I think I start from there, but none of those are anywhere on ym system.

[10:47] <k1l> superkuh: try"sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 "
[10:47] <superkuh> libdvdread4 is already the newest version.
[10:48] <k1l> sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[10:49] <superkuh> Done. Same result when trying to install vlc.
[10:49] <k1l> please pastebin

[10:54] <sapik> Volt: why installing build essential? isn't that for compiling?
[10:56] <superkuh> libass4 is installed.
[10:57] <superkuh> Oh. Progress, libupnp6 installs now. But removed all my retroshare stuff which was from a ppa.
[10:57] <superkuh> So that might have been the source...
[10:57] <superkuh> Yep. Installing.

[11:03] <groundnuty> hey I'm looking for a comand line tools for findinf duplicate music files
[11:03] <groundnuty> based on contnet not just tags
[11:04] <odin> good morning, how may I edit a route instead of adding a new one?
[11:04] <odin> specifically, both of my interfaces point to the 0.0.0.0 gateway
[11:04] <odin> which is "default" route to 192.168.0.1
[11:05] <odin> I want to edit the gateway for my two interfaces, how do I do this? do I have to add new routes and delete the old ones?
[11:05] <superkuh> dupeGuru Music, groundnuty. But not cli, unfortunately.
[11:06] <tata> how to open or unpacking tar.xz file. I have old ubuntu  10.4 lxde.
[11:08] <Volt> tata: tar xf [filenaame]
[11:08] <tata> tar.xz
[11:08] <Volt> ?
[11:11] <superkuh> Or you could just $ sudo apt-get install unp , then $ unp file.xz . I pretty much use unp for everything so I don't have to learn tar and other syntax.
[11:11] <tata> ok
[11:26] <bentinata> Umm, does anyone know why my secondary monitor rotated 90⁰?
[11:28] <pa> hi
[11:29] <pa> is it normal that ps  reveals 4 screen sessions, while screen -r says that there's no screen to be resumed??
[11:29] <pa> what's wrong?
[11:34] <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 it
[11:34] <Guest77938> hello, how much memory does ubuntu server 14.04 with default settings use?
[11:35] <redbeard_> hi everyone
[11:36] <pa> is this normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8214694/
[11:36] <DJones> !requirements | Guest77938 About 2/3rds of the way down the page the bot links to says 192Mb is required
[11:36] <tobiasBora2> TJ- : Ok nice I will, thank you !
[11:36] <k1l> Guest77938: everyone got another ideo of "default settings and services". but i would say it runs already with 256mb or less.
[11:37] <Guest77938> ok, thank u!
[11:38] <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] <k1l> redbeard_: just ask
[11:40] <developer_> e.g., let's say that typing 'pwd' gives me '/etc/random_directory_name_that_I_just_made/'
[11:40] <lang> developer_: df .
[11:40] <developer_> How can I tell which disk /etc/random_directory_name_that_I_just_made/ is stored on?
[11:40] <lang> developer_: 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 windows
[11:40] <antonio__>  wine wordpad
[11:41] <developer_> lang grep for what output?
[11:41] <developer_> which value under which column of 'df .' ?
[11:41] <lang> developer_: 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] <lang> developer_: grep for the value in "Filesystem"
[11:41] <lang> so /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv
[11:43] <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, then
[11:43] <lang> antonio__: yes, run it multiple times?  but why would you want to run wordpad on ubuntu in the first place?
[11:44] <developer_> lang But how can I tell which disk/device?
[11:44] <lang> developer_: 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, etc
[11:44] <lang> developer_: or look in fstab, if it's something permanent.
[11:44] <antonio__> Open Office is too bloated
[11:44] <developer_> lang That gives /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv on / type ext4 (rw)
[11:45] <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?
[11:47] <k1l> antonio__: there are tons of basic text editors. i bet they can use tabbed browsing, too
[11:47] <antonio__> k1l: I can't use tabbed browsing
[11:48] <k1l> redbeard_: 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 clone
[11:48] <developer_> lang Both of the suggestions just seem to parrot back the name of the filesystem
[11:49] <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.jpg
[11:50] <Ampelbein> developer_: You are using LVM, you can see the physical volumes used in each VG by using the "sudo pvs" command.
[11:50] <lang> developer_: yes, sorry.  that's me not paying attention.  that's a device handled by device mapper.
[11:50] <developer_> LVM? VG?
[11:50] <geirha> wordpad ... like wordpad.exe ?
[11:51] <Ampelbein> developer_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm
[11:51] <tosse> i 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 blank
[11:52] <tosse> it was working better on 13.10 with xfce4.12 beta packages but they are not available for trusty
[11:52] <lang> I've had lots of issues with chrome on multihead the past half year or so, and a colleague of mine is experiencing the same issues.
[11:52] <tosse> does unity work better with it?
[11:52] <lang> on both ubuntu and xubuntu
[11:52] <developer_> Thanks.
[11:52] <developer_> Okay, I see.
[11:53] <lang> no problems after switching to firefox though.
[11:54] <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] <geirha> antonio__: wine wordpad & wine wordpad & wine wordpad # should open three at the same time
[11:54] <developer_> Ampelbein So would it be reasonable to assume that they are partitions on the hard drive that I ordered?
[11:55] <antonio__> thanks..
[11:55] <antonio__> I just wish I could freaking hit ctrl + N to open a new instance...why not make it easy? argh
[11:55] <ikonia> antonio__: you can - use windows with supported applications
[11:56] <antonio__> huh?
[11:56] <Ampelbein> developer_: Most likely, yes.
[11:56] <ikonia> antonio__: 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 windows
[11:56] <antonio__> ikonia: I don't have windows
[11:56] <Ampelbein> developer_: "sudo pvs" should show something like /dev/sdXY where X is a letter and Y the partition number.
[11:56] <ikonia> antonio__: then don't use word pad
[11:57] <yaowenrui> how can i use the nvidia gtx 750 on ubuntu , i found the man page but still not the download on my version
[11:57] <ikonia> antonio__: as thats on windows, so id you don't have windows, how are you using wordpad ?
[11:57] <antonio__> ikonia: wine
[11:57] <yaowenrui> wine?
[11:57] <ikonia> antonio__: that still needs windows binaries
[11:57] <Ampelbein> ikonia: wordpad is included in wine.
[11:57] <ikonia> Ampelbein: right, but it's a windows app
[11:57] <ikonia> so why use a windows app on linux
[11:58] <Kira9204> isn't wordpad just a crippled version of word?
[11:58] <ikonia> there are many text editors
[11:58] <geirha> antonio__: I assume you have tried all the native alternatives, like abiword and kword ?
[11:58] <yaowenrui> is there anyone can help me
[11:58] <Kira9204> Libreoffce
[11:58] <antonio__> kira9204: can't use libreoffice..too bloated
[11:59] <oluype> libreoffice nice soft...
[11:59] <ikonia> but wine is slim....yeah right
[11:59] <Kira9204> ^
[11:59] <yaowenrui> hey is there anyone can help me?
[11:59] <ikonia> yaowenrui: no-one knows until you say what you want
[11:59] <yaowenrui> oh no
[11:59] <geirha> I guess abiword is the one closest to wordpad in functionality
[12:00] <yaowenrui> is that hard quewtion?
[12:00] <Kira9204> i think he wants help installing the nVidia drivers
[12:00] <ikonia> yaowenrui: ok, be smart, so "no" no-one can help you
[12:00] <developer_> Okay, thank you.
[12:00] <yaowenrui> oh why? is that question very hard to solve?
[12:00] <Kira9204> yaowenrui: In settings there is an entry called "Hardware Drivers"
[12:01] <yaowenrui> i find all but nothing
[12:01] <Kira9204> go in there and it will download and install the nVidia driver
[12:01] <yaowenrui> is my question fool on this page?
[12:02] <yaowenrui> i am use ubuntu jusr 34 days
[12:02] <yaowenrui> so yes that maybe a fool question
[12:02] <ikonia> yaowenrui: what version of ubuntu do you have ?
[12:02] <yaowenrui> kubuntu
[12:02] <ikonia> yaowenrui: what version of kubuntu
[12:02] <Kira9204> yeah, but what version number
[12:03] <yaowenrui> 14.04
[12:04] <Kira9204> im not on ubuntu, but i know that its there
[12:04] <yaowenrui> where ? can you tell me
[12:04] <Kira9204> system settings->hardware drivers
[12:04] <eeee> Kira9204: i think you mean dash > drivers ?
[12:05] <ikonia> yaowenrui: I'm just getting you the method of launching the drivers tool
[12:05] <yaowenrui> it can update by itself?
[12:05] <Ahad> I cant find the hibernate option in Ubuntu 14.04 :/
[12:05] <Ahad> help anyone?
[12:05] <Kira9204> eeee: That should work as well, but since hes on KDE
[12:05] <ikonia> yaowenrui: if you press alt+f2 and then type "driver" you should get a driver gui launch
[12:06] <eeee> Ahad: do you have a swap? free -m
[12:06] <Kira9204> eeee: and i dont know if KDE has a dash
[12:06] <k1l> Ahad: do you have a swap partition big enough?
[12:06] <eeee> Kira9204: ah, thought he was on unity
[12:06] <Ahad> eeee: how do i check?
[12:06] <eeee> Ahad: free -m
[12:07] <Ahad> eeee: i have 4 gb swap
[12:07] <Lizard_Eater> Does anyone know how to remove GRUB2's border? I am trying to make a custom theme and want it gone, I can't seem to find anything.
[12:07] <eeee> Ahad: and your ram?
[12:07] <yaowenrui> it was reg nothing
[12:07] <Ahad> i have 12 gb ram installed
[12:08] <Ahad> eeee: i have 12 gb ram
[12:08] <eeee> Ahad: you need around 13gb swap i'd say
[12:08] <ikonia> yaowenrui: does it launch a gui yes/no ?
[12:08] <yaowenrui> no!
[12:08] <Ahad> eeee: what does swap actually do?
[12:08] <k1l> Ahad: in hibernation all your ram gets stored into the swap partition so it can be copied back on restart. how do you want to get 12GB ram into 4gb swap?
[12:08] <yaowenrui> hey wrong it was xubuntu 14.04 sorry
[12:09] <ikonia> yaowenrui: ok,
[12:09] <yaowenrui> sorry
[12:09] <yaowenrui> is it the same way to solve?
[12:09] <ikonia> yaowenrui: no
[12:09] <Volt> Ahad: when RAM runs out of memory, kernel moves sys processes and info to harddrive, swap will be used as extra RAM.
[12:09] <ikonia> yaowenrui: you'll need the hardware drivers tool on kubuntu
[12:09] <ikonia> yaowenrui: sorry the hardware drivers tool on xubuntu (xfce
[12:10] <yaowenrui> where can i download it?
[12:10] <Ahad> Volt: k1l: so i cant hibernate now?
[12:10] <ikonia> yaowenrui: it should be partof the install already
[12:10] <yaowenrui> what is command of it?
[12:10] <Volt>  Ahad: what's your issue? I just came on
[12:11] <Ahad> Volt: i cant find Hibernate option in Ubuntu 14.04
[12:11] <simonjr> can anyone help me ... I need to install my realtek high definition audio I downloaded it  but I am not able to install it on ubuntu 14.04 why?
[12:12] <Volt> Ahad: install powermanagement-interface
[12:12] <simonjr> I have the default soundcard driver provided by Ubuntu but the front jack for headphone there is no sound it doesn't seem to work properly it goes on and off
[12:12] <Volt> Ahad: then try using pmi action hibernate
[12:12] <eeee> Volt: he left out the part where he has 4gb swap and 12gb ram
[12:12] <ikonia> yaowenrui: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/hardware-devices.html
[12:12] <ikonia> yaowenrui: read that (actually read the words)
[12:13] <Ahad> Volt: yea eeee is right. i have 12 gb ram and 4 gb swap
[12:13] <k1l> Ahad: since i explained you cant hibernate. it will not work.
[12:13] <Volt> eeee: I don't get why anyone would require 4 gb of swap.
[12:13] <k1l> Ahad: you can use standby but not hibernation
[12:14] <Volt> Ahad: My bad I missed that out
[12:14] <eeee> Ahad: resize your swap partition, or make a swapfile, if you want hibernation
[12:14] <yaowenrui> adding a  Software Sources and apt-get?
[12:14] <simonjr> the 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 14.04
[12:14] <Ahad> k1l: ok so standby would consume my battery?
[12:14] <Volt> Is it just me or is 4gb or swap abnormal?
[12:14] <ikonia> yaowenrui: no
[12:14] <ikonia> yaowenrui: the hardware part
[12:14] <ikonia> yaowenrui: "restricted drivers"
[12:15] <eeee> Ahad: it would consume so little as to go for a week maybe ( i think )
[12:15] <Volt> of*
[12:15] <ikonia> Volt: in what way abnormal ?
[12:15] <simonjr> anyone here knows how to install realtek HD soundcard driver on ubuntu 14.04
[12:15] <Ahad> k1l: i just want to save my new battery
[12:15] <yaowenrui> is there a command on the tip?
[12:15] <ikonia> yaowenrui: READ the text
[12:15] <ikonia> yaowenrui: it tells you exactly what to do
[12:16] <simonjr> how do I allow the "make install" work in Terminal .... it doesn't seem to work and why?
[12:16] <ikonia> simonjr: you shouldn't be doing that
[12:16] <simonjr> I saw it on youtube
[12:16] <ikonia> simonjr: first question - do you NEED additional drivers ? or do the ones shipped with ubuntu work ?
[12:16] <ikonia> I'm not interested in blind youtube videos
[12:17] <ikonia> simonjr: I'm interested in the correct way to do things with the correct solution
[12:17] <Volt> ikonia: Doubt a swap partition of excess is needed if you have 12GB of RAM. But it's just my personal perception.
[12:17] <simonjr> ok thanx
[12:17] <ikonia> Volt: I have 32GB of ram and use a swap partition to good effect
[12:18] <Ahad> Are there any software to save battery power?
[12:18] <ikonia> Ahad: linux has power management it already
[12:18] <Volt> ikonia: Doesn't Ubuntu automatically disable swap space if RAM > 3GB?
[12:18] <ikonia> Volt: no idea
[12:18] <eeee> Volt: i don't think so
[12:18] <ikonia> Volt: I'd be very surprised if that is the case
[12:18] <simonjr> I have the default soundcard driver provided by canonical ubuntu but the front jack for mic and headphones is not working
[12:19] <ikonia> simonjr: so the sound actually works, correct ?
[12:19] <Volt> ikonia: People are debating if swap is really required nowadays lol
[12:19] <ikonia> Volt: I don't see that debate
[12:19] <simonjr> yes but there is no sound for the front jack
[12:19] <ikonia> simonjr: ok, so the issue is the front jack
[12:19] <eeee> Volt: it never hurts
[12:19] <simonjr> when I plug in the headphones no sound
[12:19] <simonjr> but it works on windows xp pro
[12:19] <simonjr> yes ikonia
[12:20] <yaowenrui_> the restrick says edit->soft sources-> setting manager -> softwave update
[12:20] <ikonia> simonjr: so look in the sound manager application if there are multiple input/outputs defined for your card
[12:20] <Volt> But yeah as mentioned it doesn't hurt to have one.
[12:20] <simonjr> where do I go to sound manager application
[12:21] <Volt> simonjr: the sound button?
[12:21] <ikonia> simonjr: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/media.html
[12:21] <simonjr> ok
[12:23] <yaowenrui_> sorry? i dont know you dont like it
[12:24] <yaowenrui_> can you teach me?
[12:24] <ikonia> yaowenrui_: follow the guide I've linked you to
[12:25] <simonjr> there is nothing there that mention about how to solve the problem on front jack issue
[12:25] <yaowenrui_> yeah ok just adding sources and update and apt-get?
[12:25] <simonjr> ikonia i have already installed the realtek driver from its website
[12:25] <simonjr> sorry downloaded
[12:26] <simonjr> but I am not able to install it on ubuntu
[12:26] <simonjr> the methods given doesn't seem to work
[12:26] <simonjr> from ubuntu community etc
[12:26] <simonjr> I was able to listen through the jack yesterday night
[12:26] <simonjr> but today it doesn't work
[12:26] <ikonia> simonjr: again - you appear to be blindly doing something
[12:27] <ikonia> simonjr: I've told you to work out if you need it or not
[12:27] <ikonia> if it wasa working before - that suggests you don't need this
[12:27] <simonjr> okay
[12:27] <simonjr> so why isn't the jack working now?
[12:27] <simonjr> I need it to listen to music quietly
[12:28] <philippe> #xbins
[12:28] <ikonia> simonjr: no idea, have you gone through the troubleshooting guide I linked you to
[12:28] <simonjr> yes I checked but nothing mentions about the front jack issue
[12:28] <ikonia> of course it doesn't say "how to fix front jack issue"
[12:28] <ikonia> it tells you how to trouble shoot a problem
[12:29] <simonjr> ikonia do you know how to install the driver provided by realtek for ubuntu linux?
[12:30] <pa> what's the recommended way to install nvidia 337 drivers on 14.04?
[12:32] <redbeard_> can anyone tell me how to get xchat to play nicely with the ubuntu 14.04 message notification tray? It does not seem to want to play sounds on a message, or blink the icon when receiving one. The only thing that works is the balloon popup. Any known fixes for this?
[12:33] <mesopotamian> I think ubuntu does a nice job a trying. It's awful that for a very mainstream and important operating system that is has such failures. I would not trust this os. If you are doin any automatic updates I would immmediately do the following: apt-get --purge remove unattended-upgrades; rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

[12:52] <yaowenrui> is there anybody know how to install the nvdia driver i look on the www.nvidia.com but it was none for the ubuntu the software source cant adding
[12:52] <antonio__> volt: whats the best way to do this?
[12:52] <Volt> antonio_: using sed
[12:52] <antonio__> ?
[12:52] <antonio__> brb
[12:53] <Volt> antonio_: I'm just making a guess, I can't view pastebin idk why
[12:54] <ObrienDave> antonio__, quantal is EOL
[12:54] <yaowenrui> is anyone know how to install nvidia on ubuntu
[12:54] <pbx> at the lock/login screen, is there any keyboard method for selecting a different account to log into?
[12:54] <Volt> ObrienDave: Indeed. But it's still possible to update ur sources.list from older versions.
[12:54] <ObrienDave> yes, i know :)
[12:55] <Volt> yaowenrui: google.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> yaowenrui: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[12:55] <yaowenrui> i try it before
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> yaowenrui: reboot, done
[12:55] <yaowenrui> but not useful
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> yaowenrui: unless you have that Optimus rubbish
[12:55] <Ampelbein> yaowenrui: For Xubuntu: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/hardware-devices.html#restricted-drivers
[12:56] <yaowenrui> i follow it and went to the www.nvidia.com but none for unbuntu drive
[12:56] <yaowenrui> just susse
[12:57] <Ampelbein> yaowenrui: On the site I linked there is no mention of going to www.nvidia.com at all.
[12:57] <yaowenrui> when i install the nvidia-current but i cant set the ratio
[12:58] <Ben64> yaowenrui: what ratio
[12:58] <yaowenrui> yeah what you linked i readed it was need to adding the software sources , so need to go to the www.nvidia.com to adding
[12:59] <Ben64> yaowenrui: you're free to install the nvidia.com drivers, but you can NOT get support here if you do so
[12:59] <yaowenrui> cant get the site on nvidia.com?
[12:59] <antonio__> volt: this is the new pastebin http://pastebin.com/f85ekTK1
[13:00] <yaowenrui> but the nvidia-current cant set the ratio
[13:00] <Ben64> yaowenrui: again, what ratio
[13:00] <Pici> yaowenrui: you mean the resolution?
[13:00] <yaowenrui> 1028x1024 but i need 1920x1080
[13:01] <Volt> antonio_: give me a moment working on virtualbox
[13:01] <antonio__> np
[13:01] <Ben64> yaowenrui: you can probably set it using nvidia-settings and if not, there are other solutions. installing from nvidia.com won't help anything
[13:02] <yaowenrui> is that you say about nvidia-x-manager?
[13:02] <geirha> antonio__: Ubuntu 12.10 is EOL
[13:03] <geirha> !eol | antonio__
[13:03] <Ben64> yaowenrui: i'm not understanding what you mean by that. there is an application that comes with the nvidia drivers, it is called "nvidia-setting" and allows you to set settings... for nvidia
[13:03] <Ben64> "nvidia-settings" *
[13:03] <yaowenrui> by the way if you use nvidia driver?
[13:04] <Ben64> yaowenrui: you may get better help if you ask in #ubuntu-cn ... i'm having a hard time understanding some of your responses
[13:06] <antonio__> I understand that 12.10 is eol...I need to find out how to upgrade
[13:06] <Guest88397> Hey
[13:06] <Volt_> back
[13:06] <yaowenrui> i was get a long trouble on this nvidia card ,so i just using the intel it can give me 1920x1080 but if another one i cant build it
[13:06] <Volt_> where was i?
[13:07] <Guest88397> I want to install openjdk-7-jdk and openjdk-7jre
[13:07] <Guest88397> is it just sudo apt-get install ?
[13:07] <Ben64> antonio__: at this point i'd suggest installing 14.04 fresh
[13:07] <YoloJ> Hi
[13:07] <Guest88397> "sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk" ???
[13:08] <geirha> antonio__: that's why we gave you the link to the EOLUpgrade page which explains just that ...
[13:08] <YoloJ> unopaste
[13:08] <mic_e> Guest88397: try it
[13:08] <mic_e> what's the worst thing that could happen
[13:08] <mic_e> apart from an error message
[13:08] <Volt_> antonio_: where was I?
[13:08] <ObrienDave> it might work ;P
[13:08]  * YoloJ can you op me
[13:08]  * YoloJ plz
[13:09] <Ben64> YoloJ: stop that
[13:09]  * YoloJ stop what
[13:09] <antonio__> geirha: It doesn't show how to upgrade from 12.10 to anything higher
[13:09]  * YoloJ stop what plz
[13:09] <Ben64> YoloJ: asking for op. this channel is for ubuntu support only
[13:10]  * YoloJ oh who is ubuntu
[13:10] <Ben64> antonio__: it does actually. but it will still take ages, you'd be much better off with a fresh install
[13:10] <YoloJ> plz
[13:10] <Ben64> !ubuntu | YoloJ
[13:10] <Volt_> antonio_: sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:10] <antonio__> ben64: why would it take a long time?  because of downloading update after update?
[13:10] <antonio__> I might just borrow an external HD from a friend tomorrow to try to back everything up.  If I want to have all of my programs/files/docs/etc. what folders should I backup?
[13:10] <YoloJ> Im french i dont know ubuntu
[13:10] <Volt_> antonio_: after replacing, run sudo apt-get update
[13:11] <Ben64> antonio__: because 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04
[13:11]  * YoloJ ok
[13:11] <mic_e> antonio__: your home dir contains all your personal data and settings
[13:11]  * YoloJ ?
[13:11] <Ben64> YoloJ: then this is probably not the channel for you
[13:11]  * YoloJ shut up
[13:11] <geirha> antonio__: same procedure. It's only the codenames that differ
[13:11] <mic_e> note that most settings are stored in hidden folders (starting with a dot)
[13:11] <YoloJ> ben64
[13:11] <YoloJ> shut uppppp

[13:12] <YoloJ> Wat
[13:12] <mic_e> Ben64: the troll already pinged the op to test whether they respond.
[13:13] <antonio__> mic_e: all of the hidden folders will be in the home dir right?

[13:13] <bitnumus> Hi, should pyqt5 be in the repos?
[13:13] <mic_e> antonio__: yup

[13:13] <mic_e> cp ~/.* will
[13:14] <Ben64> !find pyqt5 | bitnumus
[13:15] <geirha> antonio__: Note that you can skip 13.04.  12.10 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 is a supported route. You just change apt sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com and run release upgrade to get to 13.10. Then 13.10 will let you upgrade to 14.04
[13:15] <geirha> s/release upgrade/do-release-upgrade/

[13:20] <andybrine> Does anyone know how to play wmv files on ubuntu 14.04?

[13:28] <cfhowlett> andybrine, try vlc-player.
[13:28] <andybrine> I have tried vlc player as well
[13:28] <cfhowlett> Guest88397, it's virtual = running non-natively with reduced resources.
[13:29] <andybrine> its really strange as prior to using 14.04 im sure it was fine
[13:29] <andybrine> it may be an update with WMV files but I dont think so
[13:29] <cfhowlett> andybrine, wmv is a windows type.  they do strange things and not always linux-friendly
[13:30] <mic_e> andybrine: try mplayer

[13:39] <cfhowlett> bryanbelgium, happy2help
[13:39] <TJ-> bryanbelgium: Any USB device should be USB Video Class (UVC) compliant, so there are no driver problems
[13:41] <Vladimir_> Don
[13:41] <bryanbelgium> TJ does the mention UVC compliant shows on the box of the product?
[13:41] <Vladimir_> don't quite get it, in vi I should just type :hi Comment guifg=#ABCDEF to change the comment colour but nothing changes :/
[13:43] <seagull> тест
[13:43] <Vladimir_> problem solved!
[13:43] <TJ-> bryanbelgium: Depends on the manufacturer, sometimes the logo is there, sometimes not, sometimes you have dig into the specifications. The easiest way sometimes is to check for Windows drivers - if it doesn't need any that is a good indicator that the Windows standard UVC driver handles it
[13:44] <bryanbelgium> TJ , ok nice one mate

[15:23] <jim_> malware on ubuntu software center?
[15:23] <davetarmac> I've jsut installed 14.04 on my laptop for some web dev stuff mainly. The issue is that when I run grunt or something like that, it changes the user to my username, rather than keeping it the apache user I set it to
[15:24] <davetarmac> Is there a way to prevent this? because it keeps crashing out when I compile my sass
[15:24] <jim_> i have ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with the gnome de installed
[15:25] <justadude> hello, people
[15:25] <CalebW> hello
[15:25] <jim_> i just installed the popular gnome do application which lets me browse my files quickly
[15:25] <erayaydin> nonconvergent: 'top' or 'ps aux | less'
[15:25] <jim_> but when i clicked the help button it led me to a malware site
[15:25] <jim_> my firefox  wote extension blocked that site
[15:26] <justadude> i had this issue, i need for the ubuntu to shutdowns when i press the power button FROM the login screen, but i shows a menu, we need for it to just shutdown
[15:26] <MagicSpud>  hello could anyone explain me what this command do: sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/' /etc/apt/sources.list I am trying to upgrade ubuntu from 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts and I have same problem as Chelidze has in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2179674&page=4
[15:26] <CalebW> It changes the Ubuntu version in the sources.list
[15:26] <CalebW> -Magic
[15:27] <trijntje> MagicSpud: which is not the recommended way to do updates btw ;)
[15:27] <justadude> it is for a headless machine, but the machine should keep the lightdm
[15:27] <MagicSpud> trijntje: I get the unresolvable problem issue when running automatic updater dude!
[15:28] <yoooboo> hi
[15:28] <yoooboo> i just installed ubuntu in a VM
[15:28] <yoooboo> I'd like to add software sources
[15:28] <yoooboo> but Software Center does NOT display the menu
[15:28] <ph[o]cus> #
[15:28] <ph[o]cus> #asd
[15:28] <yoooboo> what happened? where do I edit software sources!?
[15:29] <CalebW> If you want to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 you will need to download the Ubuntu image http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and install it on your pc.
[15:29] <trijntje> yoooboo: system settings -> software & updates
[15:29] <CalebW> -Magic
[15:30] <yoooboo> trijntje: thanks!
[15:31] <CalebW> Nevermind, make sure 12.04 is update then run "sudo update-manager -d"
[15:31] <CalebW> Nevermind, make sure 12.04 is update then run "sudo update-manager -d" -Magic
[15:33] <wad> Yay, I just wiped my machine and installed 14.04 LTS Desktop, 64-bit!
[15:33] <kriq> What is the password for samba share? The same as my login password?
[15:33] <MagicSpud> trijntje what should I do?
[15:34] <wad> One thing I've noticed though: Scrolling using the mouse wheel, is now jumpy. It will sometimes jitter up and down instead of scrolling down. If I go really slowly, it works just fine, but if I try to go fast, it goes slower.
[15:34] <wad> I think it might be related to the extra large monitor I'm using.
[15:34] <wad> (3840x2160 pixels)
[15:34] <wad> Any bright ideas?
[15:35] <wad> It was working on 13.10.
[15:35] <eeee> wad: did you try unplugging/plugging?
[15:35] <wad> I tried rebooting a few times.... I'll unplug/replug
[15:36] <wad> Nope, still bounces.
[15:36] <wad> But thanks for the idea.
[15:36] <kriq> What is the password and username for samba share?
[15:37] <kriq> Same as my login pword?
[15:37] <justadude> you ned to create them
[15:37] <justadude> *need
[15:37] <justadude> there's a setting to use the existing system credentials
[15:37] <justadude> so, kriq, is upt o you what setting to use
[15:38] <justadude> i recommend for you to edit the smb.conf and expliitly states who can access what, don't use an 'everyone'rule
[15:38] <justadude> kriq: then create your users using smbpasswd
[15:39] <kriq> Whats the default setting if I just hit rghtclick > Properties > Share this folder?
[15:40] <kriq> justadude: ^
[15:40] <justadude> kriq: i never used that option, i'd guess it's going to automagically use your user and pass settings
[15:41] <nonconvergent> I hate this thing.  man man failed to find man
[15:41] <nonconvergent> Someone upgraded a vm to 14.04 from I don't know what
[15:41] <CalebW> Damn, qemu emulation is soooo sloow...:(

[15:48] <kriq> justadude: I can access a PC running 13.04 on my network using the usrname and pwrd from an Android phone but I can't access the 14.04 PC using its own usrname and pword? What changes have been made to ubuntu 14.04??
[15:49] <kriq> in terms of samba..
[15:53] <chro> I'm using this to check what packages occupy the most space "dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n". But how can I delete them?
[15:53] <chro> I just did sudo apt-get autoremove name-of-package
[15:53] <chro> that I saw on the list
[15:54] <chro> Package 'linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic' is not installed, so not removed
[15:56] <louisdk> I want to share a folder through samba with my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop as host and a Windows 7 machine as client. Both at same wifi. When enabling network share trough nautilus on a folder like ~/sambashare it works fine. Both Ubuntu and Windows can see it. But when I try to enable /mnt/test (which is an sshfs sharepoint owned by my user) is gives no error but doesn't show up on either Ubuntu or Windows. smb.conf hasn't been modified but here
[15:56] <louisdk>  it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8216351/
[15:58] <kriq> I can access a PC running 13.04 on my network using the usrname and pwrd from an Android phone but I can't access the 14.04 PC using its own usrname and pword? What changes have been made to ubuntu 14.04??

[16:20] <rangergord>  Hi. My 14.04 won't boot anymore. It was fine yesterday, I used it all day. When I look at the boot log, it seems to boot fine, gets to "Starting NetBIOS name server:  [OK]", then stops there. The only system-related thing I installed yesterday was install fontconfig-infinality (from a PPA), but I just removed it in recovery mode, and the OS still won't boot. What can I attempt at this point?
[16:20] <freddy> ok
[16:20] <ikonia> rangergord: remove the splash screen
[16:20] <ikonia> rangergord: see why/where it's failing to boot
[16:20] <ikonia> rangergord: that PPA may have pulled in things that cause a problem, it's worth keeping it in mind
[16:21] <rangergord> ikonia: ok, I'll look it up and see if that points me at the culprit. Thanks.
[16:21] <ikonia> rangergord: just remove the splash screen and watch it boot
[16:21] <rangergord> ikonia: yeah it was my first time messing with PPAs, I regret it already :P
[16:21] <ikonia> rangergord: that should be your starting point
[16:24] <guest123123> Hello, I deleted my Desktop folder and for some reason when I rebooted everything from my home folder was showing on my Desktop
[16:24] <guest123123> why is that?
[16:25] <CalebW> Why would you delete your Desktop folder?
[16:25] <guest123123> I don't use it
[16:25] <guest123123> I don't want anything on my desktop
[16:26] <CalebW> That's because your Desktop was pointing to your Desktop folder and when you deleted it pointed to your home folder.
[16:26] <guest123123> Does it do that all the time?
[16:26] <cdumdum_> hi everyone, i have a problem to install package with pear, each time i have a "could not extract the package.xml file from *.tgz". Is there a fix for that ?
[16:26] <CalebW> There's a better way to have nothing on your Desktop than to delete your Desktop folder
[16:26] <guest123123> ok
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> guest123123  the trick to avoid that is: don't delete your Desktop folder
[16:26] <guest123123> :9
[16:27] <guest123123> I don't like it..it's in upperacse
[16:27] <guest123123> uppercase
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> guest123123  my advice: don't put anything on your Desktop
[16:27] <guest123123> oh man
[16:28] <guest123123> no whenever I delete anything from the desktop...it deletes it from the home folder too!
[16:28] <guest123123> now *
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> guest123123  try creating a new Desktop folder, then
[16:29] <CalebW> That's because it's pointing to your home folder
[16:29] <guest123123> I created a Desktop folder
[16:29] <guest123123> but whenever I put something in it
[16:29] <guest123123> it doesn't acutally show on the desktop
[16:29] <guest123123> :/
[16:29] <cdumdum_> hello, can someone help me ?
[16:29] <CalebW> You need to repoint your Desktop to your Desktop folder.
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> guest123123 great, that's what you wanted: nothing on the desktop!
[16:30] <CalebW> Though I'm not sure exactly how to do that...
[16:30] <rangergord> ikonia: 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 and
[16:30] <rangergord> waste 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] <guest123123> MonkeyDust: and also nothing in home ;(
[16:30] <blackangelpr> cdumdum_,  just write the question
[16:30] <cdumdum_> this the question
[16:30] <cdumdum_> hi everyone, i have a problem to install package with pear, each time i have a "could not extract the package.xml file from *.tgz". Is there a fix for that ?
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> guest123123  try logout/in
[16:30] <guest123123> ok
[16:31] <cdumdum_> i use an x 86 ubuntu
[16:31] <CalebW> What do you need -cdumdum
[16:31] <CalebW> ?
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> cdumdum_  what's pear?
[16:32] <CalebW> Perl?
[16:32] <blackangelpr> cdumdum_, it might be the file corrupt ? or permission?
[16:33] <cdumdum_> no
[16:34] <blackangelpr> cdumdum_, pear os?  what do you mean when you say pear?
[16:34] <cdumdum_> for example when i put this commande "sudo pecl install pecl_http"
[16:34] <benyamin> Does anyone can help me? i got loop on xubuntu 14.04 login screen with guest acc no problem and i have try mv the .Xauthority also dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and other things. i only can go using startxfce4
[16:34] <cdumdum_> i have this :
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> cdumdum_  pecl install?
[16:35] <cdumdum_> yes
[16:35] <k1l_> pearOS is a not supported fork.
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> cdumdum_  what's pear? what's pecl install?
[16:35] <cdumdum_> ...
[16:35] <cdumdum_> it's for apache
[16:36] <cdumdum_> http://pear.php.net/
[16:36] <blackangelpr> cdumdum_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/403327/install-pecl-packages-on-ubuntu
[16:37] <cdumdum_> yes, i use it
[16:38] <cdumdum_> but i have an error  in sudo pecl install pecl_http
[16:38] <cdumdum_> like i said before
[16:39] <cdumdum_> i have an error with the decompression of the tgz archive
[16:39] <blackangelpr> cdumdum_, 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.php
[16:39] <blackangelpr> should change prcl_http  with the extention
[16:45] <cdumdum_> ok in fact i fix an other problem but the problem still here for another command
[16:46] <cdumdum_> namely when this time i put this command sudo pecl install apc
[16:46] <cdumdum_> i have this answer
[16:47] <cdumdum_> downloading APC-3.1.13.tgz, could not extract the package.xml file from "/path/APC-3.1.13.tgz"

[16:49] <lbracher> Hi there! I tried to setup a tftpd in order to do a pxe boot, but it sets a server in IPv4. Could you point me how to set a tftpd server on Trusty that uses IPv4? TIA! :)

[16:55] <lbracher> MonkeyDust, thank you! I'll give a look.
[17:03] <lucastt> when i boot in, it goes straight to tty
[17:04] <lucastt> it started(i think), two packages that steam wanted me to install
[17:04] <lucastt> i`ve removed those packages but it still won`t work
[17:04] <lbracher> MonkeyDust, it doesn't worked... I mean, it only sets the tftpd on ipv6, and not ipv4. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 using tftpd-hpa.
[17:07] <lucastt> also
[17:07] <lucastt> i`m running from a live usb flashdrive
[17:07] <lucastt> can i use that live usb to install another distro on another flashdrive
[17:07] <lucastt> ?

[17:10] <lucastt> tried that already CalebW
[17:11] <booh> Is Intel Graphics well supported on Ubuntu last distro?
[17:11] <lbracher> it's for tftp client. I also set --ipv4 on /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and don't worked.
[17:11] <lbracher> MonkeyDust it's for tftp client. I also set --ipv4 on /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and don't worked.

[17:13] <CalebW> What is the output of "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager" -lucastt
[17:15] <lucastt> CalebW: to do that i`ll need to reboot the system, is there something else for me to do?
[17:15] <lucastt> so i just need to reboot once
[17:15] <CalebW> Run "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager"
[17:16] <lucastt> also, i`ve read somewhere that when installing a distro from the flash drive, while already having one, that it can fix the actually installed distro
[17:16] <lucastt> but to do that i would nned ubuntu installed on a flashdrive, i only have elementary os installed on a flash drive, as i`m running right now
[17:17] <lucastt> is it possible to install a distro to a flashdrive while being in a live usb

[17:37] <rangergord> lesson learned: never install from PPAs
[17:38] <philinux> Linda20;~ do you want source or deb from ppa
[17:38] <lucastt> hmm, i think my computer isn`t recognizing my usb flashdrive CalebW
[17:38] <trism> pbx: did you accidently uncheck Show clock in the menu bar in the top left of that menu? I've done that accidently before and didn't notice it, it hides the clock and greys out all the options
[17:38] <lucastt> or maybe the port isn`t working
[17:38] <CalebW> Why's that?
[17:38] <pbx> trism, that entire panel is grayed out.  "show clock in menu bar" is checked however
[17:39] <Linda20> I would like a free znc with all your data, ready to plug anything more please
[17:39] <lucastt> no idea
[17:39] <lucastt> CalebW: nevermind it, i`m just going to wait for my brother to get home and install the distro on his computer
[17:39] <lucastt> it will be easier
[17:39] <trism> pbx: strange, is indicator-datetime-service running in the background? ps aux | grep indicator-datetime; sometimes you need to kill it and then run: restart unity-panel-service;
[17:40] <lucastt> all the times i did that i was on windows, so i`ll probably have no problems in doing that
[17:40] <lucastt> anyway, thanks for the help CalebW
[17:40] <CalebW> Alright, whatever's best for you
[17:40] <Linda20> :(
[17:40] <lucastt> cya
[17:41] <pbx> trism, thanks. killed it and it reappeared
[17:42] <philinux> Linda20;~ only thing i've seen is this http://wiki.znc.in/Installation#Install_via_PPA
[17:42] <nonconvergent> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion Can't find htpasswd
[17:43] <nonconvergent> tried installing libapache-htpasswd-perl but that didn't work either
[17:43] <hans_> im trying to make a respin
[17:43] <hans_> but no compiz config
[17:44] <Linda20> I need one SHELL
[17:44] <Linda20> ???
[17:44] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: "that didn't work either" is a very unspecific error message.
[17:45] <Linda20> who can give me a znc, please ready :(
[17:45] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: If you are looking for the htpasswd utility, it should be contained in the apache2-utils package
[17:46] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: If installing that gives you an error message, please remember to copy the complete message and use a service like paste.ubuntu.com to show us what it says.
[17:47] <Ampelbein> Linda20: I don't personally know this service, but https://www.xshellz.com/ seems to offer what you want?
[17:47] <daro> hi guys
[17:48] <pbx> i'll just keep asking this: is there a keyboard-based way to switch from user A to user B (fast switching, i.e. without logging out user A)
[17:50] <daro> somebody know how to disable alocate free memory (cache) for running programs? i only find if for these linux using malloc i using Linux daro-Latitude-E6410 3.13.0-34-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 13 15:49:09 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:50] <Linda20> I only thing I want is a free znc already configured to use it please
[17:50] <pbx> Linda20, this does not seem ubuntu-specific.
[17:51] <Ampelbein> pbx: Does "dm-tool" look like what you want to do? "dm-tool switch-to-user $USER"
[17:51]  * pbx looks
[17:51] <Ampelbein> It's part of lightdm
[17:53] <pbx> Ampelbein, thanks, perfect, you win the prize.  plus as a bonus it enters the login screen in the mode i want, where both users are visible and keyboard-selectable
[17:55] <daro> anybody can help with this?
[17:55] <shahab> SALAM
[17:57] <jhutchins> daro: That's not something you really need to worry about unless you're coding.
[17:58] <jhutchins> daro: Unused ram is wasted ram in linux, it dynamically allocates cache to make ram available for programs.
[17:59] <girafee> hi. I am trying to setup squidguard in ubuntu 12.04. I managed to block porn sites on port 3128 for firefox. The problem is that I am not able to do the same in my kids login account. What should I do to get this work for my kids login account?
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> girafee  there's a workaround: direct the sites to 0.0.0.0 in /etc/hosts
[18:02] <girafee> ok. should i use sudo leafpad /etc/hosts @monkeyDust
[18:02] <MonkeyDust> girafee  simply add   0.0.0.0 www.foobar.com
[18:02] <girafee> ok @monkeyDust
[18:03] <girafee> i ll try. thank you MonkeyDust.
[18:03] <kbrosnan> girafee: that is not a scaleable solution as it needs to be done for each domain on the web
[18:03] <kbrosnan> and users can still reach the site by typing in the ip address
[18:03] <MonkeyDust> girafee  what kbrosnan says: it's only a workaround
 but if i want disable this?
[18:04] <girafee> MonkeyDust is pointing a way to block a single site, right?
[18:04] <jhutchins> daro: Write your own OS.
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> girafee  yes
[18:05] <Valarkin_> Hi, Ima noob trying to get a seedbox installed on 14.04 server. I am up to the point of setting up user dirs and the guide calls for me to edit a file: /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdirs when I go to save the file I get Error writing No such file or Dir. I go to /etc/apache2/ and see there is no conf.d directory. Should I just make it or should it have been created earlier as I was installing apache
[18:05] <Valarkin_> etc?
[18:06] <girafee> :) monkeyDust. i am trying to block the complete porn sites for my childrens.
[18:07] <GeekVSGames> hello. can anyone help me with some WUBI problems
 meybe leater :) i must this disable, auto alocate not working sometime i have out of memory but it is free i using now xfce and have 4Gb ram
[18:07] <jhutchins> daro: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/tlk/mm/memory.html http://www.tldp.org/LDP/khg/HyperNews/get/memory/linuxmm.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/KernelAnalysis-HOWTO-7.html
[18:07] <jhutchins> daro: Do you have swap?
[18:08] <GeekVSGames> Who Me?
[18:08] <Beldar> GeekVSGames, Never been an real support for wubi and none now really.
[18:08] <Beldar> any*
[18:08] <GeekVSGames> Oh
[18:08] <daro> yes i give him 8gb (double ram size)
[18:09] <GeekVSGames> I have a HDD though and when I boot into the live CD all my hd's show up and I get confused
[18:09] <GeekVSGames> I formated the ubuntu drive as "Ubuntu"
[18:09] <daro> meybe have problem with another (ntfs) partition its full, but its laught
[18:09] <jhutchins> daro: What programs are you getting out of memory errors on?
[18:10] <Beldar> GeekVSGames, wubi is a file in windows basically whether on a specific drive or not.
[18:10] <GeekVSGames> I know
[18:10] <GeekVSGames> a
[18:10] <GeekVSGames> I attempted to install Ubuntu through the LiveCD
[18:11] <GeekVSGames> and my drive formated as NTFS with the label Ubuntu
[18:11] <GeekVSGames> I can't see what one it is
[18:11] <Beldar> !dualboot | GeekVSGames
 with any firefox, audiacous, and also TERMINAL, I think if its break ram, but dont steal ram from another programs
[18:11] <GeekVSGames> Thanks ubottu
[18:11] <GeekVSGames> although i guess your a bot
[18:12] <Beldar> GeekVSGames, If you want to do a dual boot that help is here.
[18:13] <GeekVSGames> the page doesnt load
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> girafee  if you want an extended blacklist: click on Download (right side of the page) http://www.shallalist.de/submissions.html
 I see this always if hardware ram is full
[18:14] <jhutchins> daro: This generally isn't a problem, with 4G RAM and 8G swap you shouldn't be having any difficulty having multiple we pages open and a music player running.
[18:14] <girafee> MonkeyDust should i paste that whole list into hosts file?
[18:14] <GeekVSGames> hang on can i boot into the live CD
[18:14] <GeekVSGames> brb
[18:15] <jhutchins> daro: Generally the only time you have problems with ram it's when you're doing something like trying to load a whole large video file at once.
[18:15] <jhutchins> daro: How are you seeing what ram is in use?
[18:15] <Footy> give us the free -m output :D
 black screen or frozen screen
[18:16] <malkauns> daro: get a macbook pro with 1gb RAM, that should be enough :)
[18:16] <malkauns> i mean 16gb :)
 i thing if its hardware problem, but i must live with this some time
[18:17] <MonkeyDust> girafee  no, use it in your squid proxy setup, I only know the list, not sure how toi use it
[18:17] <jhutchins> daro: 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.
 try offer mac for users who like freedom?
[18:18] <girafee> MonkeyDust ok. thank you very much for your help.
[18:18] <nonconvergent> Um, a little lost...does apache2 package not setup and httpd.conf file?
[18:18] <jhutchins> daro: You can install memtest86 to check the hardware.
[18:18] <nonconvergent> or does it just use apache2.conf? Just trying to get an svn over an apache server up and running
 its good idea give him at today night
[18:19] <jhutchins> daro: 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] <rww> nonconvergent: it uses apache2.conf. Debian (and thus Ubuntu) aren't overly fond of Apache naming their httpd httpd.
[18:19] <Blenda> hi 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?
[18:20] <nonconvergent> rww: Thanks.
[18:20] <jhutchins> Blenda: Safest to unplug the existing drive, yes, update-grub should find the new installation.
[18:20] <nonconvergent> Maybe you can tell me what's missing then? I'm assuming it's the lack of LoadModule for the dav_svn module
[18:20] <nonconvergent> https://gist.github.com/nonconvergent/678e04140fa7cbdd7a0c
 i cant un-plug display card - laptop but ram i can, but i have only one DDR3 memory
[18:21] <Blenda> so 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] <jhutchins> daro: Also check the cooling path to make sure it's not clogged.
[18:21] <Beldar> Blenda, For W7 make a ntfs ahead and install to it, grub will see it. Installing W7 after XP is the actual issue
[18:21] <jhutchins> Blenda: You should run sudo update-grub after everything's back together.
[18:21] <GeekVSGames> Okay i am in my live CD
[18:22] <Blenda> thx jhutchins
[18:23] <nonconvergent> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion I followed this but so far my svn with WebDAV is not showing up.

[18:25] <jbeez> is there any reason a fresh ubuntu server install with openssh enabled wouldn't allow ssh traffic ? I actually see back and forth with the client but it never connects

[18:26] <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 advance

[18:37] <JimmyNeutron> sanjeb82, don't ask for help.  Just ask away and if someone knows the answer, they will respond

[18:44] <nonconvergent> ...is there no service for subversion?
[18:45] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: What exactly are you trying to do?
[18:46] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: Get a svn server to shown up web_dav.
[18:46] <ChaosZen> Is there any kind of session that I could get that does not start x server, like strictly console from the bootup?
[18:47] <joao> I think you can use alt+1~7
[18:48] <joao> ctrl + alt + f1~f7
[18:48] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: 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] <wheatthin> do you have to identify per channel you go into, or per freenode connection?
[18:49] <Ampelbein> wheatthin: per freenode connection
[18:49] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: 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/678e04140fa7cbdd7a0c
[18:50] <cmoneylulz> anyone know how to add color to file permissions, owner, filesize, etc from ls -l?
[18:50] <Valarkin_> chown
[18:51] <jhutchins> wheatthin: Depends on your irc client, most have web pages with FAQs on how to get around.
[18:51] <Slart> cmoneylulz: isn't there a "use colors" setting somewhere? man ls ?
[18:52] <cmoneylulz> yeah i mean it works for directory and filetype colors just not all the flags
[18:52] <cmoneylulz> aka literally only the file/directory name is colored
[18:52] <jhutchins> cmoneylulz: Depends on your terminal, http://linux-sxs.org/housekeeping/lscolors.html
[18:53] <Slart> cmoneylulz: ah.. my bad.. misunderstood. Then I don't really know.. not sure if that kind of customization is possible with ls/bash
[18:53] <jhutchins> Slart: It's actually part of the alias for ls.
[18:54] <Slart> jhutchins: sweet.. never seen that before.
[18:55] <vlastik> Skype question. I have installed it successfully, however it was not in the Software Center before and after reboot. Install again then?
[18:56] <vlastik> Ubuntu 14.04 is my version.
[18:57] <cmoneylulz> the example im looking at is using an alias. its a super sweet looking set up but zero instructions lol
[18:57] <cmoneylulz> quit
[18:57] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: I don't see anything obviously wrong with that. Does it work if you use the SVNPath directive to point to a single repository?
[18:58] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: I tried to checkout a repo I know is there, and got a HTTP status 500
[18:58] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: https://gist.github.com/nonconvergent/cef0f0c08000781b261c

[19:08] <zeddy213> j
[19:08] <vlastik> jhutchins: alt+F2 worked. I am very very new on this system, trying to use it instead of windows machine, to become familiar. Thanks for your help.
[19:09] <hichamat> does files /tmp folder are automatically deleted after a reboot of ubuntu 14 ??
[19:10] <wafflejock> Ergo^: you install from the software center or skype.com?

[19:10] <Valarkin_> Following this guide: http://blog.slowb.ro/2013/06/20/howto-setup-a-multi-user-ubuntu-seedbox - can not access the user www
[19:10] <wafflejock> Ergo^: yeah not sure someone else had that problem in here, skype starts for me but eventually locks up if I leave it open for long enough

[19:12] <Ergo^> wafflejock: yeah
[19:12] <Ergo^> supposed a known problem, but i cant fix it on 14.04
[19:12] <vlastik> jhutchins: Thanks a million. I have about a month, before I want to apply for a job on linux :-0 I'll rather start on reading right now.
[19:12] <wafflejock> Ergo^: sounds like it's 64bit mixed with 32 bit from the error but dunno
[19:13] <jhutchins> vlastik: I found the O'Reilly book "Running Linux" pretty good, that's where I started.
[19:13] <wafflejock> Ergo^: like it expected to find a 32 bit libGL.so but found a 64 bit one, but just a guess
[19:13] <jhutchins>  The Linux System Administrator's Guide is an excellent general resource: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
[19:13] <Ergo^> wafflejock: yeah thats what the LD_PRELOAD is supposed to fix
[19:13] <wafflejock> Ergo^: ah okay
[19:14] <Ergo^> wafflejock: then it segfaults
[19:15] <wafflejock> Ergo^: you able to check that /usr/lib32/libGL.so is in fact a 32bit compiled version
[19:15] <Ergo^> wafflejock: how?
[19:15] <WHAT_DOWN> without making a new group or having root access, is there a way to make a group that only i and another user (www-data) can read from?
[19:15] <WHAT_DOWN> errr, make a file
[19:16] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: I have no troubles with the setup you posted. hmm.
[19:16] <wafflejock> Ergo^: cd /usr/lib32/
[19:16] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: What do you mean?
[19:16] <mitchelwb> Looking 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_DOWN> essentially, i want to put some semi-secure document that can only be accessed through a web frontend and not by other users on the server
[19:16] <mitchelwb> If I boot to XP with the GT240, it comes up fine.
[19:17] <wafflejock> Ergo^: readelf -h libGL.so
[19:17] <mitchelwb> If I take out the card and boot to Ubuntu, it works fine as well.
[19:17] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: I don't have any trouble, but I don't see our repos.  So maybe I copied the wrong thing?
[19:17] <Ergo^> wafflejock: Class:ELF32
[19:17] <Ergo^> tring the tls one
[19:17] <Valarkin_> could someone help me with permissions for a www located in the users home?
[19:17] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: I created a couple svn repos (svnadmin create $foo), added the location stanza to apache2, apache2 reload and I can now access the repos.
[19:18] <Ergo^> same
[19:18] <wafflejock> Ergo^: eh well I'm out of guesses will need to get someone else who can help you dig in more
[19:18] <Ergo^> thanks anyways
[19:19] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: 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?
[19:22] <mitchelwb> any idea on my vid card question?  (sorry to be a pain)
[19:23] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: Yeah, I can checkout revision 0 of an empty one
[19:24] <nonconvergent> that I just made for testing
[19:24] <wafflejock> mitchelwb: were you able to get to the additional drivers window and enable the nvidia drivers?
[19:24] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: That means that you didn't copy the repositories over, I guess. Are you sure you didn't copy a checkout directory?
[19:25] <mitchelwb> wafflejock: when I boot to Ubuntu with the card in the machine, it comes to a creeping halt before I can even get logged in.
[19:25] <nonconvergent> Ampelbein: I ran svn hotcopy then rsync'd that.
[19:25] <Kion> join #libreoffice
[19:26] <wafflejock> mitchelwb: you could try nomodeset or use a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1) to install things from the command line but not sure I can guide you on it all
[19:26] <wafflejock> !nomodeset | mitchelwb
[19:26] <wafflejock> !nvidia | mitchelwb
[19:26] <Valarkin_> Could I get some help with incorrect permissions for www serving from the user's home?
[19:26] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/227725/public-html-permissions-for-local-development
[19:27] <Valarkin_> thank you.
[19:27] <mitchelwb> I tried to ctrl-alt-f1 but it didn't even register... I'll look these links over and see what I can get it to do.  Thx!
[19:28] <wafflejock> mitchelwb: np good luck
[19:31] <Ampelbein> nonconvergent: sounds correct. Can you give me a pastebin with the result of "find . -maxdepth 2 -type d" in /home/developer/svnrepositoies?
[19:31] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: 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 home
[19:32] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: 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 setups
[19:35] <mitchelwb> ok.  Me again... the nomodeset link has a bunch of broken images in it... and unfortunately, whoever wrote it posted a screenshot of what to type, but didn't also add the text to the post.  ugh.
[19:36] <pa> 14.04:  how do i change the permissions on files stored on a NTFS file system? I tried to mount the FS using the "permissions" mount option, but it does not work...
[19:36] <mitchelwb> Do I just mimic what it shows to make it a permanant change?
[19:41] <Valarkin_> yeah, i need to keep things separate for multiuser, wafflejock
[19:42] <Valarkin_> I'm really quite clueless I am working from a guide but I am getting confused
[19:42] <Sornaensis> hi
[19:42] <Valarkin_> I'm pleased I've managed to get as deep as I have though - small victories
[19:42] <Sornaensis> what is the main difference between ubuntu and debian
[19:43] <pbx> Sornaensis, ubuntu is built on top of debian
[19:43] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: yeah permissions can be confusing to deal with to some degree but little victories and you'll get it right eventually
[19:43] <Valarkin_> oh, it seems I am using the userdir plugin.

[19:44] <wafflejock> !info lynis
[19:44] <Valarkin_> as I say I am working from a guide so I do not want to deviate too far
[19:44] <wafflejock> it can help harden the system, also
[19:44] <wafflejock> !info fail2ban
[19:44] <Valarkin_> I reckon its simple - I just do no know enough for it to actually be so ;)
[19:44] <borges_> how do i reinstall ubuntu keeping my home folder(it`s on its own partition)
[19:44] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: yeah these are just extra tools to tighten up the security after you have things working
[19:44] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: just sudo apt-get install lynis
[19:44] <wafflejock> then, lynic -c -q
[19:45] <Valarkin_> wj, could you take a quick peek at the guide, see if you see anything obvious?
[19:45] <wafflejock> it will give you a report of what you can do to make the server more locked down
[19:45] <Valarkin_> ah, brilliant ty, I'll make a note of it for post install
[19:45] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: sure which link?

[19:51] <Valarkin_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation
[19:52] <Valarkin_> basically by googling what you just asked ;)
[19:52] <ToeSnacks> does anyone know anything about dnsmasq?
[20:16] <jhutchins> azazell0: Back it up, do the install, restore it.
[20:16] <jhutchins> azazell0: Or back it up, do an advanced install and format manually, don't format /home, and hope it works.

[20:22] <TBotNik> All, Still working out the network issues on my Kubunutu 12.04 LTS Acer Aspire 7739Z laptop.  Wired networking iffy (does not come up on boot/reboot and has to have "etc/init.d/networking start or restart, cmd issued 2-4 times before networking finally comes up) and Wifi non-existent.  Have both network-manager and wicd installed. Network Manager will not work with the iwlwifi6 driver needed for the Centrino 100N wifi controller on this machine. That is why
[20:22] <TBotNik>  we installed WiCD, but all attempts to delete Network Manager to avoid the conflicts have failed.
[20:25] <mitchelwb> wafflejock: Hey, just wanted to let you know the nomodeset worked like a charm.  It let me boot with the new card in, I went in to a terminal and added the ppa for the driver and installed them without a hitch and rebooted.  Minecraft is now playing at all it's stock settings without a hitch.  My son will be so happy.  Thx
[20:30] <Valarkin_> wafflejock: going to public_html instead of www fixes it. I've changed userdirs to reflect public_html and all seems well.
[20:30] <Kion> I saw that Denyhosts was no longer part of the repositories of the last version of ubuntu, is fail2ban as good?
[20:31] <P-NuT> Has anyone installed ubuntu on an iPad? Is it even possible?
[20:32] <k1l_> P-NuT: nope
[20:33] <jvwjgames> hi i have a webserver and it is still on 13.10
[20:34] <jvwjgames> but i don''t want to upgrade to 14.X cause whenever i upgrade it alwas corrupts my server OS
[20:34] <TJ-> TBotNik: Can you "pastebinit <(lspci -nnk && cat /etc/network/interfaces && nmcli nm && nmcli dev && nmcli con && cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf && for cn in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*; do echo "### $cn" && sudo cat "$cn"; done && cat /var/log/dmesg)" ?
[20:35] <jvwjgames> any help on that
[20:35] <k1l_> jvwjgames: that is very bad. because 13.10 already lost support. if you dont want to upgrade you should make a clean install with a lts version in first place, which are 12.04 or 14.04
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> jvwjgames  then stick to the LTS releases
[20:36] <MonkeyDust> k1l_  was faster
[20:37] <xcyclist> I installed python-imdbpy using apt-get.  It does not show up on which, and there is no man page.  Please can someone suggest where to find it?
[20:37] <jvwjgames> but i don't want to loss all my installed stuff websites, game servers, ntp time servers, and other stuff i have installed on this server
[20:37] <damccull_> Linux and unix filesystems are generally case sensitive yes?
[20:38] <MonkeyDust> xcyclist  try   whereis python-imdbpy
[20:38] <pbx> damccull_, yes
[20:38] <xcyclist> Ok.
[20:38] <MonkeyDust> jvwjgames  make a backup first, then upgrade
[20:38] <jvwjgames> i want 14.04 but like i siad i don't want to loss all of the info on the server
[20:38] <jvwjgames> ok
[20:38] <xcyclist> It just says:  python-imdbpy:
[20:39] <jvwjgames> how do i make a backup just copy past or is there another way
[20:39] <damccull_> pbx: ok, so mac is just stupid. They HAVE a case-sensitive filesystem version, but some programs refuse to install on it. Microsoft onedrive, CS5, and probably some more. Stupid apple.
[20:39] <MonkeyDust> xcyclist  try   apt-cache policy python-imdbpy
[20:39] <MonkeyDust> !backup | jvwjgames
[20:39] <jvwjgames> ok thanks
[20:40] <TJ-> xcyclist: python-imdbpy is a Package for use in Python programs, not for calling directly.
[20:40] <xcyclist> That's fine.  I just need a doc  to know how to run it.  I still don't see reference to a local doc.
[20:40] <wafflejock> mitchelwb: ah awesome
[20:40] <TJ-> xcyclist: "dpkg -L python-imdbpy"
[20:40] <wafflejock> Valarkin_: cool too
[20:41] <TJ-> xcyclist: I'd guess "/usr/share/doc/python-imdbpy/README.Debian" will get you started
[20:41] <MonkeyDust> xcyclist  first hit on DDG http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/
[20:42] <xcyclist> Thank you.  I was looking through the list, but that looks right.
[20:42] <TJ-> xcyclist: There are also lots of examples in the package: "/usr/share/doc/python-imdbpy/examples/"
[20:42] <klutz> Does anyone here know about ubuntu remix?

[20:42] <MonkeyDust> klutz  ubuntu whàt remix?
[20:43] <TJ-> Gassho: Do you want to custom kernel, or just use a recent mainline kernel?
[20:43] <Gassho> I want to compile a kernel :|

[20:44] <klutz> What does it include?
[20:44] <xcyclist> Thank you guys.
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> klutz  read this
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[20:46] <klutz> MonkeyDust: Not the same... Minimal is about 32 Megs... This is about 225 Megs
[20:48] <MonkeyDust> klutz  read your own page again, what does it say under Support?
[20:49] <TJ-> klutz: Read the FAQ they provide: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mini-remix/+faq/2564
[20:50] <jvwjgames> ubottu: i might just creat an iso of my current linux install is that possible
[20:50] <pbx> damccull_, HFS+ is a special case.  "case insensitive, case-preserving". yes, it's annoying
[20:51] <pbx> but happily not ubuntu related.
[20:51] <vlastik> jhutchins: I have seen your post to the Bash-HOWTO link, it is excellent, thanks for sharing.
[20:51] <damccull_> pbx yep i know it's not related. i was just complaining after asking the lnux related question :D

[20:57] <star_prone> hi
[20:58] <k1l_> dp_: you are right. please file a bug report
[20:58] <dp_> MonkeyDust: I'm asking why the default on an ubuntu machine is debian_banner_2, and not ubuntu
[20:59] <star_prone> I'm trying to permanently add a location to the PATH variable; in order to accomplish this, I have created ~/.bash_profile and added this line PATH=/opt:$PATH, and I have restarted the computer
[20:59] <EriC^^> star_prone: you could just add it to ~/.profile
[20:59] <jvwjgames> how do i make an iso image of my current server
[21:00] <k1l_> dp_: i bet its just a bug from the package sync from the debian repos.
[21:00] <EriC^^> star_prone: what location are you adding?
[21:00] <star_prone> the result is that I still don't have the new location added to my PATH variable
[21:00] <TJ-> dp_: Because that package is simply imported from Debian, there is no Ubuntu derivative, possibly because only 2 users in 5 years have used it :)
[21:00] <mrnv> to dp_ i thik couse there is not only debian_baner
[21:00] <star_prone> PATH=/opt:$PATH
[21:01] <EriC^^> star_prone: try adding it to ~/.profile

The only user. but i can't do basic operations like create files/folders on Home/Downloads or any other folder except Home/Desktop. What's wrong? How can i enable all access permissions (read,write,delete etc) to my account? i'm tired of having to go to the terminal typing sudo all the way
[21:05] <memo45> hello there, I'm trying to mount an exFAT drive on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. as per search engine results I tried " sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat" but I get gpg: "tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted" not a key ID: skipping recv failed, searched some more and it appear this ppa was moved and somehow integrated to the canonical repository under the name "fuse-exfat and exfat-utils" but I don't see them for me (and I've updated my repos
[21:05] <star_prone> EriC^^: so if I login into desktop environment that file will not be read?
[21:06] <EriC^^> star_prone: no, if you run ctrl+alt+f1
[21:06] <EriC^^> it should
[21:07] <star_prone> EriC^^: yes, true indeed

[21:07] <EriC^^> no problem
[21:07] <TJ-> star_prone:  ~/.profile is read by a login shell, local or remote, but isn't read if you simply start another shell within an existing user session
[21:07] <memo45> g00gz, sudo chmod 700 might be for you. but you might want to look into what may have caused this
[21:08] <jinjonBoo> hey guys. i'm the administrator at my Ubuntu 12.04.

[21:08] <guntbert> jinjonBoo: the idea is that (contrary to traditional windows) every user only can change things in his home directory - for everything else he need root privileges  but they should not be kept all the time
[21:08] <star_prone> and I don't really know how to do that
[21:09] <star_prone> I have updated the apt-get repository but I still have the version 3.7.28
[21:09] <memo45> jinjonBoo, I read the username bad before. try sudo chmod 700 -R but you might want to look into what caused the problem in the first place, maybe you tinkered with chmod in the past as well...

[21:13] <memo45> TJ- you rock :)
[21:13] <EriC^^> olabaz: if that doesn't cut it,
[21:13] <EriC^^> !info devilspie | olabaz
[21:13] <jinjonBoo> ok thanks

[21:14]  * Seromania is now away: Momentan nicht erreichbar
[21:14] <olabaz> wafflejock: ok I'll look into the upgrade as well
[21:15] <olabaz> EriC^^: that looks overly complicated
[21:15] <EriC^^> olabaz: you can do almost anything with it though, and no it's easy
[21:15] <tannji> wafflejock, do you have blurry text issues in gnome like I do in Unity?
[21:16] <EriC^^> olabaz: anyways as i said try ubuntu-tweak first, if it doesn't cut it.. try devilspie

[21:20] <Seranok> what channel should i ask in?
[21:20] <k_mitchell> !addppa
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> Seranok  if it's an ubuntu server, ask in #ubuntu-server
[21:24] <wafflejock> tannji: negative but I just switched because I didn't like Unity in 12.04, I like the changes made for 14.04 but I had already switched to KDE in 12.04 but didn't like the clutter after using that for a while so switched to Gnome to give it a fair shot too and so far really love it
[21:24] <TBotNik> TJ-: PB is already at: http://pastebin.com/DUWC5gv2
[21:24] <wafflejock> tannji: it's kind of the extreme minimalism compared to KDE but everything works very well
[21:25] <wafflejock> tannji: regarding the text bluriness though sounds like it could be a window manager related thing, you can try ubuntu-gnome alongside Unity
[21:26] <wafflejock> tannji: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop, should do it
[21:26] <wafflejock> after you logout you should see an option to login to the gnome desktop
[21:29] <TBotNik> All: PB of applicable network files already at: http://pastebin.com/DUWC5gv2

[21:33] <jhutchins> TBotNik: Did you have a support question?
[21:33] <IdleOne> Ridley5: ??
[21:33] <Ridley5> sorry
[21:33] <jhutchins> Ridley5: /msg ubottu if you want to play with the bot.
[21:33] <Red_X> lol, ok, anyway, I am having issues with VLC.  I can not get the video to play; however, it will play the sound of the video.  I have instaled the extras (i forget what it is called), where you have to accept codec licenese and what not.

[21:34] <Ridley5> thx jhattara
[21:34] <jhutchins> Red_X: Does mplayer work?
[21:34] <Red_X> mplayer, is that the one it came with?  If so, yes it will play the video; however, it won't play the sound.
[21:34] <jhutchins> OderZug: What did you try to do?  How did you try to do it?  What did you expect to happen?  What happened instead?
[21:35] <Red_X> also, I am on a dell, I do not know if that has anything to do with it either
[21:36] <Red_X> jhutchins, what do you think?
[21:37] <simon``> trying to install ubuntu with EFI support. I'm pretty sure it's installed properly, but the boot-manager isn't. exactly what am I gonna do? put GRUB in /dev/sda's MBR? because currently it seems that EFI is an alternative to that... but *shrug*. this is the debug stuff I got form the "boot-repair" tool as I attempted to use that (it failed and provided this): http://paste.ubuntu.com/8218369/
[21:38] <simon``> btw, I'm trying to dual boot with Win8. (I did disable SecureBoot.)
[21:39] <EriC^^> simon``: do you not get grub?
[21:40] <jbeez> I'm trying to run xinit with a sh script argument after it, is there an easy way to do this at boot time? perhaps change the run level and edit some file that launches somethign w/ x?
[21:41] <jbeez> ubuntu server
[21:41] <dwd> hello please help me\
[21:41] <dwd> so i have ubuntu 14.04 64 bit installed with the gnome .310 de
[21:42] <dwd> which i like,,so i wanted to get the new version gnome 3.12 but it isnt available in the ubuntu repos.so i decided to download the live iso image from the gnomes website
[21:42] <dwd> will this install the 3.12 version on ubuntu?ty
[21:44] <xangua> dwd: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/how-to-install-gnome-312-in-ubuntu.html be aware that this will likely break unity and you are using 3rd parth  software/repositories
[21:45] <cdumdum_> test
[21:45] <iszak> Why does ruby-build only have < 2.0.0 rubies in Ubuntu 14.04?
[21:45] <cdumdum_> sorry
[21:45] <dwd> yes i saw that xangue
[21:45] <dwd> xangua i read this link before
[21:45] <xangua> !latest | iszak
[21:45] <dwd> i am downloading the iso image right now so i was wondering if this will install 3.12
[21:46] <iszak> xangua: I don't require the latest version, the definitions should be up to date.
[21:46] <k1l_> dwd: no
[21:47] <iszak> xangua: Ruby 2.0 was released February 24, 2013 that is before the feature freeze I believe
[21:47] <dwd> i dont like unity at all
[21:47] <dwd> but i like ubuntu very much
[21:47] <iszak> dwd: then remove it
[21:47] <iszak> dwd: take your pick lubuntu, xubuntu, matebuntu will be around soon
[21:47] <k1l_> dwd: see if its a PPA for it
[21:48] <dwd> ok i will
[21:48] <dwd> if it will not install this
[21:48] <dwd> i will install lubuntu as i like this one also
[21:49] <simon``> EriC^^: I don't know if I get grub. and I don't know if the grub I get is EFI-compatible. and I don't know if it is installed properly or has the right privileges.
[21:50] <jinjonBoo> memo45: it says "chmod: missing operand after '700', what did i do wrong? (i did sudo chmod 700 -R)
[21:50] <simon``> basically I know very little of EFI and don't know the pitfalls.
[21:50] <simon``> sudo chmod -R 700
[21:50] <iszak> jinjonBoo: you want chmod -R 700 <path>
[21:50] <jinjonBoo> i want it all
[21:50] <jinjonBoo> i want acess to all folder
[21:50] <jinjonBoo> what should i replace <path> with?
[21:51] <simon``> jinjonBoo: the name of the folder.
[21:51] <jinjonBoo> i want permissions to ALL folders dude
[21:51] <iszak> jinjonBoo: -R will recursively decend into the directory and files, you just need to specify which path to apply this onto
[21:51] <simon``> jinjonBoo: what directory is this?
[21:51] <iszak> jinjonBoo: do you understand what 700 means?
[21:51] <jinjonBoo> nop
[21:51] <EriC^^> simon``: so it boots into windows and no grub menu appears?
[21:51] <simon``> jinjonBoo: in the *world*?? ;)
[21:52] <wafflejock> iszak: you probably want rvm
[21:52] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: what are you trying to accomplish?
[21:52] <wafflejock> iszak: http://rvm.io/
[21:52] <iszak> wafflejock: well i would use rvm, except it was bloody removed
[21:52] <jinjonBoo> "cannot access /home/myusername/.gvfs': permission denies
[21:52] <iszak> wafflejock: so I'm left with a shit version of ruby-build and no rvm
[21:52] <simon``> EriC^^: yup. I can get it to boot on usb or in windows.
[21:52] <wafflejock> iszak: I didn't know it was ever in the repos I just install from the rvm site
[21:53] <iszak> wafflejock: I do like to use the repository but ubuntu 14.04 makes it useless
[21:53] <EriC^^> simon``: sudo efibootmgr -v | pastebinit
[21:53] <wafflejock> iszak: http://youtu.be/zQNbsCTFrAA?t=27m13s
[21:53] <wafflejock> iszak: eh I don't expect everything to be in the repos I try to use them most of the time too but not a huge deal
[21:53] <EriC^^> simon``: have you tried to change the boot options?
[21:53] <iszak> wafflejock: I use them all the time
[21:54] <nonconvergent> Got an apache server that I'm trying to give some maven virtual hosts.  I chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/maven and chmod -R g+rw /opt/maven after added the aliases to sites-enabled but after restarting it still says Forbidden
[21:54] <simon``> EriC^^: I don't have that tool on my liveusb. I'll see if I can install it
[21:54] <jhutchins> simon``: grub has been efi compatible since at least 2007.
[21:54] <jhutchins> !fixgrub | simon``
[21:56] <jinjonBoo> oh nice now i try to acess home/myuser and it says "Could not display "/home/myuser" - the location is not a folder
[21:56] <jinjonBoo> what the hel* ?????
[21:56] <wafflejock> iszak: looks like it was only in 12.04 http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ruby-rvm
[21:56] <iszak> wafflejock: yeah so why remove it
[21:57] <wafflejock> iszak: dunno just saying didn't know it was even there and only in one version of ubuntu, not like they got rid of apache or as though it doesn't work if you just use the scripts from rvm.io
[21:57] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: again, what are you trying to achieve?
[21:57] <wafflejock> iszak: perhaps the maintainer didn't have time to submit the packages but I don't know the whole process well enough to tell ya
[21:57] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: somehow i can't create files/folder on "normal" folders, like home/user/downloads etc, so i just want a command that gives me all read/write/etc acess
[21:58] <jinjonBoo> they told me to do chmod 700 -R and now i can't even browse my folders, with the error shown above
[21:58] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: wrong way of going about things
[21:58] <cdumdum> hi every one, i have a problem, i am in ubuntu 14.04 for i386 (i know, i know...) and i have some wrong message "can't extract package.xml from /path/filename.tgz" when i use "sudo pear install /path/filename.tgz". i'm running apache 2.4.7 with php 5.5.9
[21:58] <wafflejock> iszak: looks like there are some instructions here on submitting packages if you'd like to get it into the repo https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[21:58] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: why can't you create folders? check what permissions and whose the owner
[21:59] <jinjonBoo> i'm the administrator, and i don't know why i can't. i'm the only user
[21:59] <EriC^^> ok
[21:59] <EriC^^> run ls -ld /home/youruser/Downloads
[22:00] <simon``> EriC^^: boot options? for some reason my BIOS-like EFI thing doesn't let me change boot order beyond "internal disk / external disk" - that works for getting onto my liveusb, though. when I run efibootmgr -v, I get some stuff about BootOrder: 000C,0005,0008,0009,0000,000B, which means: first usb, then sda1, then sda3, then sda5, then sda5, then sda3, then hda5. (I'm not sure what win8 does with all those partitions, but my sda7 isn'
[22:00] <TBotNik> jhutchins: Had already posted almost an hour ago!
[22:00] <EriC^^> paste here
[22:00] <jinjonBoo> ls cannot access: permission denied
[22:01] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: use sudo
[22:01] <jinjonBoo> and btw!! i had a folder on my Desktop, with important files, now it has transformed into a file (binary??) ?!?!?!? help please
[22:01] <simon``> EriC^^: I'll try and see if I can make efibootmgr add sda7 to the list that efibootmgr -v lists.
[22:01] <jinjonBoo> ah, it says: drwx------- 3 myuser myuser 4096 Sep 2 17:48 /home/myuser/Downloads
[22:02] <EriC^^> simon``: no
[22:02] <simon``> EriC^^: oh?
[22:02] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: i had a folder on my Desktop, with important files, now it has transformed into a file (binary??) ?!?!?!? help please
[22:02] <EriC^^> simon``: do you see ubuntu in the efibootmgr -v ?
[22:02] <jhutchins> TBotNik: Like most people, I'm just a fellow user here.  I don't constantly follow this channel, I tab to it when I'm not busy with something else (like my actual job) and if I see there's activity.
[22:02] <simon``> EriC^^: http://pastie.org/9522604 -- `efibootmgr -v` -- and no, sda7 (my ubuntu) isn't in the list.
[22:03] <jhutchins> TBotNik: While constantly repeating a question is annoying and does no good, if it's been more than an hour it's a good ideal to post a summary again, as different people will be watching.
[22:03] <jhutchins> TBotNik: What did you try to do?  How did you try to do it?  What did you expect to happen?  What happened instead?
[22:03] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: "sudo ls -ld /home/youruser/Downloads" gave me "drwx------- 3 myuser myuser 4096 Sep 2 17:48 /home/myuser/Downloads"
[22:03] <wafflejock> TBotNik: also a tip use ubuntu forums or paste.ubuntu.com so you can just repaste your issue

[22:04] <Matt3o12> Hello, 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 $USER
[22:04] <simon``> Matt3o12: there's the apache benchmark tool, "ab".
[22:04] <Matt3o12> But I wanna have the response times....
[22:04] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: "myuser"
[22:05] <Matt3o12> I 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^^> ok
[22:05] <wafflejock> Matt3o12: check out stress
[22:05] <simon``> ah... hm. doesn't wget give you an approximate request time?
[22:05] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: 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 man
[22:05] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: try sudo ls -ld /home/myuser
[22:05] <Matt3o12> It’s not giving me a live “update” just like ping …
[22:06] <wafflejock> Matt3o12: 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 sec
[22:06] <wafflejock> Matt3o12: oh yeah it's called, siege
[22:06] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: try sudo ls -ld /home , please
[22:06] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: it says: "drwx------ 35 myuser myuser 4096 Sep 2 22:38 /home/myuser"
[22:07] <simon``> EriC^^: should I not try to use efibootmgr to add ubuntu to the list it reports?
[22:07] <wafflejock> Matt3o12: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man1/siege.1.html
[22:07] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: and the last command?
[22:07] <g00gz> jinjonBoo: you removed 'read' permissions with that -R cmdexec
[22:07] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: sudo chmod 0755 /home
[22:07] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: "sudo ls -ld /home" says "drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Sep 22 2012 /home"
[22:07] <jinjonBoo> what should i do ??????
[22:07] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: ok, run the chmod command
[22:08] <jinjonBoo> ok, but with what parameters??
[22:08] <EriC^^> see above
[22:08] <jinjonBoo> how so
[22:08] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: sudo chmod 0755 /home
[22:09] <Matt3o12> @wafflejock looks much more better :)
[22:09] <jinjonBoo> ok 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 windows
[22:09] <wafflejock> Matt3o12: 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 requests
[22:09] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: 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,
[22:10] <simon``> EriC^^: I'll write that down and try that tomorrow.
[22:10] <Matt3o12> Google doesn’t like it much appearently. They’ve blocked me :)
[22:10] <wafflejock> haha
[22:10] <EriC^^> simon``: but first, ubuntu doesn't seem to be on the efibootmgr -v list
[22:10] <Matt3o12> But it works with my server :)
[22:11] <wafflejock> nice yeah I just tested on my server don't want to anger the google bots :)
[22:11] <badnoy> llm
[22:12] <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] <samthewildone> so 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] <wafflejock> samthewildone: not sure are you using Google Chrome?
[22:12] <samthewildone> I noticed I've been getting these for quite a while on both google-chrome-stable & chromium
[22:12] <simon``> EriC^^: thanks a lot for shedding some light on how efi even works. :)
[22:12] <samthewildone> wafflejock, si
[22:13] <samthewildone> well chromium
[22:13] <wafflejock> samthewildone: it has the Pepper version of flash player that is up to date, the one you get from Adobe is 11 or 12
[22:13] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: 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] <wafflejock> the pepper one is version 14 I think
[22:13] <EriC^^> simon``: np
[22:13] <samthewildone> wafflejock, I remember seeing an update for some flash this morning but, happily ignored it.
[22:13] <wafflejock> samthewildone: 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 content
[22:14] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: ok
[22:14] <samthewildone> wafflejock, this seems to be the updated version; chromium with google support 64bit.
[22:14] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo:  try sudo chmod -R 0755 /home
[22:14] <samthewildone> wafflejock, will try though... for the sake of science.
[22:14] <jinjonBoo> that's what i did man..........
[22:14] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: that's what i did man.....
[22:14] <wafflejock> samthewildone: this should show you version http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
[22:14] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: -R
[22:14] <wafflejock> samthewildone: in Google chrome from the google site I have version 14.0.0.177
[22:15] <samthewildone> ...disable
[22:15] <g00gz> if you don't mind, jinjonBoo what are you & EriC trying to accomplish
[22:15] <g00gz> nvm
[22:15] <wafflejock> samthewildone: yeah you don't need it 90% of the time anymore
[22:15] <g00gz> don't want to take away from you two alrdy working on this
[22:15] <wafflejock> samthewildone: only site I use that uses it is speakeasy.net/speedtest (and this coming from a previous AS3/Flex/Flash developer)
[22:16] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: after "sudo chmod -R 0755 /home -R" it says "chmod: cannot access '/home/myuser/.gvfs': Permission denied" what now?
[22:16] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: can you access your files again
[22:16] <EriC^^> g00gz: it's cool
[22:16] <jinjonBoo> nop
[22:16] <vlcn> trying to iscsi boot 14.04, after the install this is what is happening: http://i.imgur.com/b9hyi8p.png
[22:16] <vlcn> any ideas?
[22:16] <jinjonBoo> i mean
[22:16] <jinjonBoo> i can
[22:17] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: i can, yes
[22:17] <EriC^^> jinjonBoo: ok, so this file
[22:17] <EriC^^> was in your ~/Desktop ?
[22:17] <jinjonBoo> ahhhh wait
[22:17] <jinjonBoo> the binary file turned again into a foldr
[22:17] <jinjonBoo> :) thankssssssssssss man
[22:17] <EriC^^> np i guess
[22:18] <EriC^^> :)
[22:18] <jinjonBoo> EriC^^: a life saver :) thanks man i really appreciate the help
[22:18] <EriC^^> np, any time
[22:18] <jinjonBoo> thank youuuu :) gotta go
[22:18] <jinjonBoo> ok
[22:18] <jinjonBoo> take care
[22:18] <jinjonBoo> bye
[22:20] <samthewildone> wafflejock, not installed sorry for the delay
[22:20] <samthewildone> It was just working though...
[22:21] <samthewildone> bug or BUG ?
[22:22] <pacebl> I've added a custom launcher to Unity with the "main menu" application. The launcher works, but no matter what I set the launcher icon to it changes to a black file with a red "stop" symbol
[22:22] <EriC^^> pacebl: gksu nautilus /usr/share/application
[22:23] <EriC^^> sorry, gksu nautilus /usr/share/applications
[22:23] <EriC^^> find your file and open with gedit

[22:25] <TBotNik> All: Repeating: Still working out the network issues on my Kubunutu 12.04 LTS Acer Aspire 7739Z laptop.  Wired networking iffy (does not come up on boot/reboot and has to have "etc/init.d/networking start or restart, cmd issued 2-4 times before networking finally comes up) and Wifi non-existent.  Have both network-manager and wicd installed. Network Manager will not work with the iwlwifi6 driver needed for the Centrino 100N wifi controller on this machine.
[22:25] <TBotNik> That is why we installed WiCD, but all attempts to delete Network Manager to avoid the conflicts have failed.
[22:25] <pacebl> EriC^^: It's definitely not there, but it shows up in the dash
[22:28] <wafflejock> samthewildone: 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 Qt
[22:28] <wafflejock> or something that is portable, not sure what they use now
[22:28] <pacebl> EriC^^: I actually have narrowed it down, one icon file works, a different one doesn't work

[22:39] <bmuk`> Hey everyone, Unity isn't starting for me. I have isolated the problem to the fact that the composite plugin isn't loading in compiz, but a simple compiz --replace from another tty makes unity show up immediately. How do I resolve this issue
[22:40] <bmuk`> I have tried the dconf reset -f /org/compiz stuff already
[22:40] <lempamo> can anyone PLEASE help me with installing a bootloader for trusty?
[22:43] <bmuk`> Anyone know anything about the compiz problem?
[22:43] <lempamo> who can help with installing a bootloader for trusty?
[22:43] <locojay> hi, anyway i can tell ubuntu 14.04 to ignore case in a path
[22:44] <locojay> make paths case incensitive
[22:45] <bmuk`> locojay: if this is a script you could make everything lowercase, or you could check and see if a path exists
[22:45] <bmuk`> In linux /home/BMUK and /home/bmuk are two different directories, as is /home/bMuk
[22:46] <Ladon> I'm on a Windows computer with an Ubuntu Server on my network. I have a dedicated server in France. 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. I have to run a sudo chmod and chown to reset them every time I copy over new files. Is there a way around this?
[22:46] <bmuk`> I don't know how you could ever get around that.
[22:46] <locojay> yeah i will need to do some hashing for windows path as i have a csv with camelcase and on disk its upercase (stupid dump from a system....)
[22:46] <locojay> was wondering if there was a config to avoid the code....
[22:48] <bmuk`> locojay: ah. There may be libraries for that. I know python handles windows paths well, I don't have much experience on that front, though. Like you said, you could hash the path name and use that
[22:49] <dwd> hello,i used ubuntu driver manager to install a proprietary amd driver and guess what it works very good i also have the catalyst control center...and the compiz effects work also..should i keep this driver?or should i revert to the oepn ojne?
[22:49] <dwd> i mean will it crash my pc?
[22:49] <lempamo> I am using a 2009 iMac with rEFInd and I have installed Trusty on a 50GB partition of my original drive. However, there was an error with installing the bootloader, so I have to manually install one. Can anyone help?
[22:50] <k1l_> dwd: if it works it works
[22:50] <dwd> should i keep it?
[22:50] <dwd> i mean will it crash my pc?
[22:50] <dwd> and is ubuntu driver manager reliable?
[22:51] <k1l_> dwd: just test it. if it makes trouble you could uninstall fglrx again and use the open driver
[22:52] <dwd> well it works good
[22:52] <dwd> i even have the catalyst control center
[22:52] <k1l_> so were is the issue?
[22:52] <k1l_> *where
[22:53] <Bashing-om> dwd: as k11 said " if it works it works ", You are in good shape, and yes, IF installed via "Additional Drivers" the system will manage the driver .
[22:53] <akurilin> question: what are some trusted and really straightforward to use file encryption solutions for Ubuntu? Say I want to encrypt a drive, maybe a folder, maybe just a few files.
[22:53] <dwd> oh that is awesome
[22:53] <dwd> one more reason to love ubuntu ;D
[22:55] <shido6> even better in the cloud http://9nl.us/myownserver
[22:55] <lempamo> !ping
[22:55] <shido6> FreePBX on top ubuntu underneath
[22:56] <carldani> Hi!
[22:56] <shido6> hi carldani , whats up? :)
[22:57] <carldani> hi shido6, I'm trying to figure out if I reported a kernel bug correctly or if there is something left I should do:
[22:57] <carldani> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1363462
[22:58] <carldani> the bug affects me, and I dug up the upstream kernel commit which fixes it
[23:05] <lempamo> please just help me with my bootloader!
[23:06] <ahklerner> lempamo what is the problem you are having
[23:08] <ahklerner> i have the latest version of xubuntu installed
[23:08] <ahklerner> my main hard drive
[23:09] <ahklerner> has 2 partitions
[23:09] <daftykins> ahklerner: lempamo is unable to google "install grub manually to partition"
[23:09] <OderZug> o
[23:09] <ahklerner> the second partition does not auto mount
[23:10] <ahklerner> i have followed a guide, and added the second partition to /etc/fstab
[23:11] <ahklerner> i am trying to get it to mount at /media/<myusername>/e00487ce-3b60-4131-b961-26dcc774ce3
[23:11] <jasperrilla> To
[23:12] <ahklerner> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8218951/
[23:13] <EriC^^> ahklerner: does /media/../...... exist ?
[23:13] <ahklerner> jasperilla why are you pm me
[23:13] <ahklerner> that is where it gets mounted when i click on it at my desktop
[23:13] <EriC^^> ahklerner: yeah but have you mkdir'd it?
[23:13] <htmltv> !bot
[23:13] <ahklerner> i also did a sudo mkdir /media/blah
[23:14] <htmltv> !vlc | htmltv
[23:14] <joren_> Hey, does anyone know how to get a verbose output of the boot sequence after it's already started?
[23:15] <ahklerner> /var/log/boot ? or something ?
[23:15] <ahklerner> or do you mean change to verbose while booting
[23:16] <ahklerner> EriC^^: does ubuntu make the <myusername> subdir of media when i login
[23:16] <ahklerner> or does it always exists
[23:17] <ahklerner> i or anyone
[23:17] <ahklerner> sorry i am not used to this keyboard yet
[23:17] <EriC^^> ahklerner: when you login, i think
[23:18] <Fall> oops, left my term open all night lel
[23:18] <ahklerner> so i should just mount it on /media/somethingelse
[23:19] <bmuk`> I have a problem with compiz/unity
[23:19] <ahklerner> the problem is i have setup some stuff that relies on the drive being at /media/<myusername>/blah
[23:19] <ahklerner> i will just redo it
[23:20] <Guest79575> I am having trouble with firewall rules I setup using UFW on 14.04 server on EC2:  I check 'ufw status' and the rules look good to e.g. allow SSH and sure enough I am SSH'd into the machine, then I reboot and I can't get back in... if I stop the instance, detach the root volume, and re-attach and mount it on another machine I have access to on EC2 I can then disable UFW on startup and re-attach to the first machine and boot it and SSH in
[23:20] <Guest79575>  fine, active UFW still SSH in fine, reboot and again I cannot get in.  Did something change here between 12 and 14?
[23:20] <bmuk`> I boot into a blank desktop, just a wallpaper no sidebar or top bar

[23:40] <bmuk`> EriC^^: I have done the dconf reset and removed both of the compiz directories; still boot into wallpaper only
[23:40] <Footy> OderZug: you can try to google for geoip, or you can tracroute to it and see where the hops are close to destination
[23:41] <OderZug> and traceroute does work for an ipv6 ?
[23:41] <Footy> OderZug: Im not going to start tracing random peoples ips for strangers :)
[23:41] <EriC^^> bmuk`: ok, hold on
[23:41] <Footy> OderZug try google for "web traceroute ipv6"
[23:42] <OderZug> uh hello, how can i resolve this ip or mac adres back to a country?  01:27] * jasperrilla (~namtoga@2601:b:b480:7d0:979:2f45:4c25:7f6b) Quit (Quit: Bye)

[23:46] <underplay> Whats a good GUI for KDE that can decrypt/encrypt and manage GPG keys?
[23:46] <underplay> something besides gpg4usb
[23:46] <underplay> and not kelopatra either
[23:46] <OderZug> Footy you used gitLab before? how do i add a normal user to a private project?
[23:48] <EriC^^> bmuk`: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity
[23:50] <bmuk`> if setsid unity doesn't work, is it worth rebooting or will it have the same issues?
[23:51] <EriC^^> try to logout and login
[23:52] <bmuk`> I'm on tty1 right now. I suppose /etc/init.d/lightdm restart is the way I do that?
[23:52] <EriC^^> sudo service lightdm restart
[23:52] <minimec> bmuk`: sudo service lightdm restart
[23:53] <bmuk`> unfortunately still booting to just a wallpaper
[23:57] <pdcmoreira> hi, i've just installed ubuntu 14.04 on a virtual machine
[23:57] <pdcmoreira> and im trying to install lemp stack
[23:57] <pdcmoreira> so, i've installed mysql with:
[23:57] <pdcmoreira> sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql
[23:58] <pdcmoreira> (and configured it)
[23:58] <pdcmoreira> then nginx
[23:58] <pdcmoreira> sudo apt-get install nginx
[23:58] <pdcmoreira> now i think i've installed php lower than 5.5
[23:58] <pdcmoreira> how do i check the installed version?
[23:59] <pdcmoreira> i did sudo apt-get install php5-fpm
[23:59] <pdcmoreira> but i've read that i need an external repo, so i should remove this php version first
