| rww | !ubuntu+1 | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Utopic Unicorn is the codename for Ubuntu 14.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 01:56 |
| usr13 | platoes: See "Lubuntu vs Ubuntu" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 01:56 |
| usr13 | platoes: "The differences between Lubuntu and Ubuntu are: Different DE - Lubuntu uses LXDE while Ubuntu uses Unity as the default DE. Different Default Applications | 01:57 |
| usr13 | platoes: Other than that, they are the same. The DE is what makes Lubuntu a lightweight OS, and of course the selected applications too because we make sure to use the lightest applications which are not resource hungry. | 01:57 |
| platoes | usr13: Hmmm. Okay. Isn't Ubuntu developed by Canonical employees whereas Lubuntu would be build upon that work through volunteer developers? | 01:58 |
| uRock | OMGUnicorns! | 01:59 |
| uRock | sorry, had to get that off of my chest | 01:59 |

| uRock | Bashing-om, I removed the router from the network and connected straight to the modem. It seems my router was messing something up | 01:59 |
| usr13 | platoes: I think the only difference is that Ubuntu is the core project, but Lubuntu and Xubuntu both share the same core system and the same repositories. The difference is that they have different Desktop Environments. That's all. | 02:00 |
| usr13 | Well, I didn't say that just right, but you get the idea... | 02:01 |
| platoes | rww, usr13: Okay - so then do the *ubuntu releases always happen after the ubuntu release, or is there parallel development? | 02:01 |
| rww | platoes: They release at the same time. | 02:02 |
| rww | I think there's been once or twice when a flavor released after the fact because of a very-late-found bug | 02:02 |
| rww | The release cycles only differ in the flavors having betas whereas Ubuntu itself doesn't | 02:03 |
| platoes | Would ubuntu survive without Canoncial, or does it require the financial backing and so on that a company provides? Would it be able to keep being accessible to the average person if it were to become more community-driven like Debian? | 02:03 |
| rww | No idea, and I think we're drifting rather off-topic for #ubuntu. You might want to ask #ubuntu-offtopic. | 02:04 |
| usr13 | platoes: I would say that the dates are the same. Lubuntu and Xubuntu may release slightly later, I don't know, (because I don't update on the day of release, I do it when I'm ready, which may be a couple months later, so I don't really keep up with it. | 02:04 |
| rww | they don't | 02:04 |

| Basketball | eeee, what do i do | 02:13 |
| uRock | Bashing-om, I fixed it by switching from eth1 to eth0, and changing ports on the switch. Scratching my head as to why that worked. | 02:13 |
| spjt | usr13: Depends what that means, for that moment in time it took less time to reinstall than it would to figure out how to fix the problem,. | 02:13 |
| uRock | Bashing-om, thanks for the help! | 02:13 |
| spjt | usr13: Another thing is that xubuntu had unbearable video tearing | 02:14 |

| spjt | usr13: I didn't use any packages as there weren't any for most things at the time, it was all built from source basically hand ported to my own installation | 02:31 |
| usr13 | kyfho: Yea, I think that is exaggeration. | 02:31 |
| usr13 | spjt: See my pm | 02:32 |
| kyfho | I am a unix vet, but a lot of younger goons I interview with dont hire me | 02:37 |
| uMeeKs | i just installed ubuntu on my laptop. its installed on a 64gb ssd fine, i have a 500gb drive as well that i cant seem to get formatted | 02:37 |
| kyfho | and have issues | 02:37 |
| kyfho | I guess I am confused as to what is in the mind of these younger goons that means you are technically adept | 02:37 |
| uMeeKs | can anyone help | 02:37 |
| kyfho | knowing ruby seems to be some kinda ego point | 02:37 |
| kyfho | I think ruby stinks | 02:38 |
| kyfho | umeeks if all else fails read the directions | 02:38 |
| uMeeKs | what directions | 02:38 |
| Donohue | Hey - Having difficulty getting smooth video playback in fullscreen. Using an AMD APU, with FGLRX-updates and Ubuntu 14.04 | 02:39 |
| kyfho | the ubuntu 14.04 server guide of course | 02:39 |

| ubottu | Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 02:41 |
| uMeeKs | alright | 02:41 |
| uMeeKs | i have 2 hard drives installed in this laptop, a ssd with ubuntu and a sata 500gb drive | 02:41 |
| spjt | Donohue: playing video with what | 02:41 |
| uMeeKs | in Disks it not allowing me to format the 500gb | 02:42 |
| boldfilter1 | How would I repair permissions if a file is from another system | 02:42 |
| kostkon | uMeeKs, you mean the button is not clickable? | 02:42 |
| uMeeKs | no | 02:43 |
| Donohue | spjt, Any full screen video appears to tear / is choppy. | 02:43 |
| uMeeKs | when i try to create a new partition it errors out | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | uMeeKs, this is while booting a USB ubuntu, yes? | 02:43 |
| kostkon | uMeeKs, install gparted and try using that. | 02:44 |
| uMeeKs | ubuntu is installed | 02:44 |
| noons | +1 on gpart | 02:44 |
| kostkon | uMeeKs, come back if you still have problems or you need further help | 02:44 |
| Bashing-om | uMeeKs: MBR, 4 partition limit ?? | 02:44 |
| uMeeKs | ys | 02:44 |
| Donohue | I've looked into possible solutions, but the majority seem applicable to Nvidia cards, and not AMD. I've enabled tear-free, and wait for v-sync, as well as disabled it with no change either way. | 02:44 |
| spjt | Donohue: What are you using to watch the video, are you watching video files in a program or are you watching them in a browser, what browser, etc | 02:45 |
| uMeeKs | 1: Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. | 02:45 |
| Donohue | spjt, the problem occurs in VLC, and the browser. Tested in Firefox, Opera and Chrome. | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | uMeeKs, yep. ubuntu and gpt don't co-exist without speical care. | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | !gpt | 02:45 |
| noons | Donohue: I've actually had awful awful luck with AMD video cards in linux so I stopped buying them | 02:45 |
| noons | from what I've heard things havent gotten much better | 02:46 |
| Donohue | noons, mine's an APU, so it's integrated - aka, stuck with it for now. The xorg drivers weren't better either. | 02:46 |
| uMeeKs | uick99 | 02:46 |
| noons | ahh missed that :( | 02:46 |
| kyfho | usb3 seems crappily supported on centos as is freebsd | 02:47 |
| kyfho | I wonder if my mobo not ok with usb3 extension card | 02:47 |
| uMeeKs | so format it GUID ext4 right | 02:47 |
| Donohue | The plan is to pick up a nvidia card as soon as possible. I'm not a new user by any means, so this issue is odd for me. I'll attempt to upgrade hardware if I can't figure it out, as it DEFINITELY tears a ton running Portal / Portal 2. I've attempted various fixes, and even to disable compositing while fullscreen (forced), but still no change. So I think hardware is the next option unless there's something I'm missing. | 02:47 |
| spjt | Donohue: fwiw you can try smplayer and test the different output drivers to see if any of them work for you | 02:48 |
| spjt | Donohue: although that will only help for video files | 02:48 |
| cfhowlett | uMeeKs, "it" is the HDD? then yes. | 02:48 |
| uMeeKs | yes | 02:48 |
| uMeeKs | gparted worked | 02:48 |
| Donohue | spjt, thanks, may give that a try. I'm also going to see if I can re-encode and see if its' a codec issue. | 02:48 |
| Donohue | noons, thanks for the suggestion as well. Any suggestions on a low-mid card, around $100 that has good compat? | 02:49 |
| cfhowlett | !hcl | Donohue check the list for suggestions | 02:51 |

| Donohue | kostkon, I had to first lock GL or something (can't remmeber) and it solved the lag between mouse movement and screen movement, but the tearing was still present. Thanks anyway, I'm going to consider new hardware | 02:53 |
| Donohue | As it's integrated anyway. | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | -ArcticFox84- huh. must be seen by me only? but it's here on main channel, not a pm. | 02:53 |
| Donohue | I've been seeing it as well. | 02:53 |
| phunyguy | cfhowlett: was probably a /notify | 02:53 |
| phunyguy | which is channel agnostic | 02:53 |
| Donohue | phunyguy, no, it's been in the channel. | 02:53 |
| kostkon | Donohue, np | 02:53 |

| cfhowlett | phunyguy, yeah, I guess so. His bunkmate buddy -serdot- just joined in the fun | 02:54 |
| Donohue | phunyguy, nope, was notifies. | 02:54 |
| phunyguy | thought so. | 02:54 |
| Donohue | I'll just ignore. | 02:54 |
| cfhowlett | Donohue, some here. thanks phunyguy | 02:55 |
| phunyguy | np. | 02:55 |
| phunyguy | cfhowlett: are you seeing it in other channel buffers | 02:55 |
| cfhowlett | phunyguy, buffers? I'm only seeing it on this channel. | 02:55 |
| noons | Donohue: as long as you don't mind running proprietary drivers any nivdia card should work nicely. They have 640s/50's for ~80 USD | 02:55 |
| Donohue | He's not present in the channel. He's notifying from a different nic. | 02:56 |
| phunyguy | yep.... not much we can do about that | 02:56 |
| Donohue | But he's obviously reading, as his insults are specific to what we're writing | 02:56 |
| Donohue | just ignore his host, cfhowlett | 02:56 |
| cfhowlett | Donohue, clever scriptkitty | 02:56 |
| phunyguy | probably a puppet in the channel | 02:56 |
| noons | I've ripped my hair out dealing with AMD's and unfortunately althought they make some nice cards I refuse to buy them for the very issues you have | 02:57 |
| Donohue | I'm pretty committed to the switch this time around, as the OS has definitely progressed since 12.04, my last real go-around. | 02:57 |
| noons | errr I should proof-read what I type | 02:57 |
| Donohue | On desktop, I should say. Have been admining VPS's on and off in between. Anyway, thanks a lot all. | 02:58 |
| cfhowlett | noons, I believe that nvidia has far better support than amd | 02:58 |

| UBUXUBU | Question: I just helped a friend install ubuntu 14.04, she likes it and its running well, but unlike my ubuntu 14.04...hers will not burn a dvd right outta the box, like mine always have? can someone tell us how to configure ubuntu to burn dvd...and why it its not doing it by default like it always has? | 03:42 |
| UBUXUBU | "doesnt recognize the disk" | 03:42 |
| Basketball | i installed pamusb and it screwed up my password so i cant use sudo with usb and my password doesnt work how can i fix this | 03:43 |
| UBUXUBU | so we took the same disk and stuffed into her host machine (doze) and it burned? | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, whae for USB?t ubuntu tool did you us | 03:44 |
| UBUXUBU | she was using k3b then tried brasero | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, and the very same ISO worked on a different machine? | 03:46 |
| UBUXUBU | she tried both cfhowlett then to make sure the dvd was ok she used the same disk in doze and it burned cfhowlett | 03:46 |
| UBUXUBU | and yes to ur question cfhowlett | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, brasero is usually pretty much idiot proof in my experience. Could the drive be failing/have failed/need cleaning? | 03:47 |
| UBUXUBU | no becasue the same drive is the drive on the host machine which has DOZE and we took the same blank dvd and put in back in the samde dvd drive BUT in DOZE and it burned the same iso | 03:47 |
| samthewildone | would the actions of deleting .local in user dir reset all my settings ? | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | samthewildone, it will reset all that user's settings but not global settings | 03:49 |
| UBUXUBU | why wont brasero burn a dvd | 03:49 |
| samthewildone | I just wanna reset my user settings. | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, suggestion: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, fully update then attempt to burn another dvd | 03:49 |
| UBUXUBU | its a frsh ubuntu 14 04 install with updates but ok will try? | 03:50 |

| UBUXUBU | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade >>> 14.04.1 . 9is this the EXACT command?? with the arrows and all? | 04:06 |
| rww | the 5 year support is on a packageset, regardless of which CD one used to install. | 04:06 |
| bootRepair | Now it has taken that 1TB drive used 807GB and left 114Gb as free space. Which is very strange | 04:06 |
| philotue | usr13: 10.04 LTS | 04:06 |
| rww | gnome, unsurprisingly, is not in the server packageset | 04:06 |
| bootRepair | because left storage should be around 400Gb | 04:07 |
| svetlana | How do I remove systemd? It complains that xubuntu-desktop depends on it. http://dpaste.com/0GSTX07#wrap | 04:07 |
| usr13 | philotue: 10.04 has been EOL since May 9, 2013 | 04:07 |
| UBUXUBU | please type in the exact terminal command to get the distro upgrade | 04:07 |
| usr13 | philotue: So upgrade to 12.04 :) | 04:07 |
| philotue | usr13: the thing is: i now have a working version of skype running on this machine, i'm just not able to make a starter icon for the terminal command | 04:08 |
| Bashing-om | UBUXUBU: Not with the arrows .. only punctuation . -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to install any new kernels on the current 14.04 install. | 04:08 |
| svetlana | UBUXUBU, «sudo apt-get dist-upgrade» | 04:08 |
| rww | svetlana: You don't have systemd installed, you have a variety of library packages shipped by systemd that various Xubuntu packages use, and a shim written by Canonical that implements some systemd API. | 04:08 |
| usr13 | philotue: Your operating system has reached End Of Life. Why do you not upgrade to 12.04? | 04:08 |
| svetlana | rww, how do I remove all that? Until today, thought I'm using 'upstart'. | 04:08 |
| rww | svetlana: You are using upstart. You are not using systemd. Assuming you want to continue to run a normal desktop environment, you leave things as they are. | 04:09 |
| UBUXUBU | ok she got the dist upgrade | 04:09 |
| svetlana | rww, more on the 'xy problem': during boot I see some messages about it starting packages I removed a long time ago. I would like to clean up the list of what gets run during boot. | 04:09 |
| philotue | usr13: i will but can't right now because i'm writing my masters thesis and neither have time nor nerves to set up everything again, or to risk loosing functionality by upgrading. | 04:10 |
| usr13 | philotue: http://ubottu.com/y/lucid | 04:10 |
| UBUXUBU | lets see if it will burn a dammm dvd now thanks all | 04:10 |
| svetlana | rww, ideally without having to clean that list by hand. | 04:10 |
| rww | philotue: when you get around to upgrading, your system will be supported in #ubuntu. Until then, it is not. | 04:10 |
| rww | svetlana: I have very little upstart knowledge, so I'll leave that to someone who does. | 04:10 |
| svetlana | all: during boot I see some messages about it starting packages I removed a long time ago. I would like to clean up the list of what gets run during boot. | 04:10 |
| UBUXUBU | thanks all | 04:11 |
| usr13 | philotue: The fact is that we don't know. (We have not run into that problem because virtually none of us are running 10.04 because it is EOL. | 04:11 |
| philotue | ok, so i will use the terminal to start skype till i update everything | 04:12 |
| philotue | thanks everyone | 04:13 |
| usr13 | philotue: So you are in un-charted territory. But the good news is that upgrading to 12.04 is easy and barring a power failure, or a hard drive that is completely full, there is almost no risk. Still, though, it is a very good idea to backup /home/ | 04:13 |
| svetlana | philotue: PM. | 04:13 |
| usr13 | philotue: I fail to see how an autostart for skype is all that important. Just lay a script on your desktop and click it. | 04:14 |
| philotue | usr13: i don't need an autostart, but laying the script on the desktop gives an error message when i click it | 04:16 |
| usr13 | philotue: Actually, if you put a properly formatted sctipt in $HOME/bin should do the trick. Just point the Startup to it. | 04:16 |
| usr13 | philotue: pastebinit | 04:16 |
| usr13 | philotue: Place the script in $HOME/bin and chmod +x it | 04:18 |
| usr13 | philotue: Then you can symlink it. Or just chmod +x the one you have. | 04:18 |
| UBUXUBU | ubuntu even with 1404 1 upgrade still cannot see her dvd drive thus will not let her burn a dvd? | 04:19 |
| svetlana | check dmesg for when you put in the dvd | 04:19 |
| UBUXUBU | what is that svetlana | 04:19 |
| svetlana | logs | 04:19 |
| UBUXUBU | ru giving a suggestion? | 04:20 |
| UBUXUBU | im all ears | 04:20 |
| UBUXUBU | what is dmesg how do we do it | 04:20 |
| svetlana | yep, I'm suggesting to check logs: take out the dvd, put it in, run «dmesg», see if it has anything interesting | 04:20 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, insert DVD then open terminal cat dmesg to read the logs | 04:20 |
| UBUXUBU | so run a command calle dmesg in the terminal? | 04:20 |
| svetlana | yes | 04:20 |
| UBUXUBU | ok one moment | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, doh! NOT cat dmesg. just dmesg | 04:21 |
| rww | damn, i was about to add to the list | 04:21 |
| UBUXUBU | ok ill wait | 04:21 |
| UBUXUBU | what up | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | rww, please do. | 04:21 |
| svetlana | UBUXUBU: "what up"? | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, the last few entries of your LONG dmesg feedback should reference your dvd issue | 04:21 |
| UBUXUBU | ok so open terminal and run command dmesg right? | 04:21 |
| svetlana | yes | 04:22 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, yes | 04:22 |
| UBUXUBU | do i do it like sudo dmesg | 04:22 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, dmesg | 04:22 |
| UBUXUBU | ok just that ok | 04:22 |
| openbox | hello everyone | 04:22 |
| UBUXUBU | one moment | 04:22 |
| usr13 | UBUXUBU: In ubuntu, dmesg does not require super user | 04:22 |
| UBUXUBU | ok thanks one sec | 04:22 |
| cfhowlett | openbox, hey. ask your ubuntu questions | 04:23 |
| openbox | umm can it be a slightly fedora related question | 04:23 |
| openbox | im basically trying to install openbox on fedora | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | openbox, #fedora would be the place to ask | 04:23 |
| philotue | got it! | 04:23 |
| openbox | whaT if i would try to install openbox on unbuntu | 04:23 |
| svetlana | yeah, it can be a little fedora related but when it's related to how they package things then I don't think folks would know here :-) | 04:23 |
| openbox | would that work ? | 04:23 |
| philotue | thanks usr13 and svetlana ! | 04:24 |
| svetlana | yes | 04:24 |
| usr13 | philotue: Ok good. | 04:24 |
| UBUXUBU | says system host name is not installed | 04:24 |
| UBUXUBU | omg what is that | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, relax. | 04:24 |
| openbox | has anyone here ever used openbox | 04:24 |
| UBUXUBU | bizarre | 04:24 |
| UBUXUBU | maybe cuz we use a VM? | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | openbox, yes. but FEDORA is not an ubuntu distro and so is not supported here. ask fedora. | 04:25 |
| UBUXUBU | i use buntu in VM and it burns dvd no issue ever | 04:25 |
| openbox | ok help me install openbox ? | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | openbox, not on fedora. | 04:25 |
| usr13 | openbox: Really? | 04:25 |
| Basketball | cfhowlett, do you know bash script | 04:26 |
| usr13 | openbox: (Ubuntu is not an rpm based distro.) | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | Basketball, no. #bash or ##bash would be the channels you want | 04:26 |
| Basketball | cfhowlett, they muted me for asking a question | 04:26 |
| UBUXUBU | i think her AMD cpu and ubuntu and a VM dont mix ... cant handle basic instructions | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | Basketball, well that just seems ... harsh. wait 1 ... | 04:26 |
| openbox | so openbox cant be installed on ubuntu ? | 04:27 |
| usr13 | openbox: rpm -i openbox will probably do it but if you join the fedora channel, they can give you specific information about fedora | 04:27 |
| svetlana | openbox, I just told you that it can. | 04:27 |
| svetlana | openbox: Where is that coming from? | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | Basketball, see this list, pretty sure one will work for you. http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20090405061458383/20oftheBestFreeLinuxBooks-Part1.html | 04:28 |

| jmcnaught | UBUXUBU: in order for a VM to be able to burn dvds, the virtualization software would need to be configured to let the VM have direct access to the dvd drive. The motherboard would also need support for IOMMU in order to "pass through" a PCI device | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, possibly. do this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, oh, wait, the VIRTUAL machines is trying to burn? doubt that'll work. | 04:33 |
| UBUXUBU | we already did that thanks cfhowlett | 04:36 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, sorry. I'm officially out of ideas. | 04:36 |
| UBUXUBU | ubuntu burn well in my VM all day long | 04:36 |
| UBUXUBU | ubuntu luvs VM | 04:36 |
| jmcnaught | UBUXUBU: are you using the same virtualization software on both host computers? On your computer did you have to add your dvd drive to the VM or anything like that? | 04:37 |
| UBUXUBU | yes both same VM | 04:38 |
| UBUXUBU | i did not have to add anything | 04:38 |
| UBUXUBU | just always do restricted extraas to be safe | 04:38 |
| llucid | Xubuntu 13.04, Any way to get Synapse bleeding edge on it? | 04:38 |
| UBUXUBU | so im thinking it cuz AMD is summe rthan helll and intel is smart cuz im using an i7 and she had a a6 | 04:38 |
| cfhowlett | llucid, end of life and unsupported? no. | 04:39 |
| lotuspsychje | !13.04 | llucid | 04:39 |
| ubottu | llucid: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 04:39 |
| UBUXUBU | looks like AMD cant handle any thing other than ordinary instructions | 04:39 |
| llucid | I understand...somewhat. Do you know what Unsupported implies entirely? | 04:39 |
| UBUXUBU | which doesnt shock me | 04:39 |
| jmcnaught | UBUXUBU: it could be that your motherboard has Intel VT-d (the Intel equivalent to AMD's IOMMU) while her computer lacks that feature | 04:39 |
| Metacity | llucid: No updates, no support, no security fixes. | 04:39 |
| llucid | Even unsupported I find it hard to believe I cannot get Synapse on it. | 04:40 |
| UBUXUBU | yeah her a6 is prolly somewhat basic compared to mine and prolly mobo too | 04:40 |
| UBUXUBU | even so should work | 04:40 |
| UBUXUBU | this aint rocket science | 04:40 |
| lotuspsychje | llucid: install a safe version from topic | 04:40 |
| UBUXUBU | someone left out a codec more likely | 04:40 |
| === llucid is now known as Shadow}} | ||
| cfhowlett | llucid, unsupported also "implies" unsupported here as well. install a supported version and then ask for assistance. | 04:40 |
| UBUXUBU | i did notice even in mine system kubuntu cannot burn a dvd while in a VM | 04:41 |
| cfhowlett | UBUXUBU, virtual machines are not 100% perfect in their implementation. | 04:41 |
| UBUXUBU | so its when the team doesnt put the software in there | 04:41 |
| Shadow}} | I have Ubuntu 14.04 on another Drive I update each day. I prefer this one for Youtube AMV stuff, As it can change speeds of video streaming on YT. | 04:41 |
| jmcnaught | UBUXUBU: VT-d/IOMMU is a fairly new feature on motherboards (it's not a CPU feature), and a lot simply don't come with the support. | 04:41 |
| UBUXUBU | yeah maybe | 04:42 |
| UBUXUBU | mine 17 4770 and it does all this stuff no issue by default | 04:42 |
| Jadz1a | Hi everyone. On a system with Ubuntu 10 (where Gnome is the Desktop environment), how can one upgrade software? On my system there is Firefox 3 installed, but I want to upgrade Firefox. But in the Ubuntu Software Manager there is only the option to install/remove packages, not to upgrade packages. | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Shadow}}: we really recommend 14.04 on all machines | 04:42 |
| UBUXUBU | 1st real issue ive seen in 1404 | 04:42 |
| rww | Jadz1a: Ubuntu 10.x Desktop has not been supported since 2013. Upgrade to a current version of Ubuntu. | 04:42 |
| cfhowlett | Jadz1a, 10.* is no longer supported. install 14.04 | 04:42 |
| rww | !eol | Jadz1a | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Jadz1a: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 04:42 |
| Shadow}} | My real question is what makes this OS (Xubuntu 13.04) completely...Isolated per se? Is that both ways? Meaning, In a way I'm safer browsing the internet on here than there(Ubuntu 14.04)? | 04:43 |
| svetlana | Shadow}}, hi. Please define "isolated" here. | 04:43 |
| cfhowlett | Shadow}}, browsing the internet from an OS that doesn't received security updates? unwise. | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Shadow}}: if 13.04 doesnt get any updates, you cant be safer | 04:44 |
| jmcnaught | UBUXUBU: it's not a CPU feature, it's a motherboard chipset feature. Without it VMs cannot access PCI devices directly (and they are simply emulated instead). USB devices on the other hand can be shared with VMs on computers lacking VT-d/IOMMU. So you could probably burn an ISO to a USB dvd drive from a VM | 04:44 |
| Shadow}} | Well. Its "end of the line" as the term goes,no? This makes it isolated from upgrading including from non trusted sources. | 04:44 |
| Jadz1a | thanks all for your answers! Does eol mean that there are no updates available for the packages anymore, but before the eol updates were possible? | 04:44 |
| svetlana | Shadow}}: Does 13.04 receive security updates? — An answer to this question doesn't depend on the flavor. It being Xubuntu or Ubuntu shouldn't matter. | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Shadow}}: just be smart, 13.04 was real solid and 14.04 has even become better, move along | 04:45 |
| Shadow}} | I am merely curious if that works both ways; As in... If I can't access my updating, Neither can a hacker without manually doing so? | 04:45 |
| cfhowlett | Shadow}}, you have no security updates. you are vulnerable | 04:45 |
| Shadow}} | Enough higher talking... I already said I have Ubuntu 14.04, I prefer this one for other reasons. | 04:46 |
| Jadz1a | In other words, are software-updates disabled after End-of-life? | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Shadow}}: then malicious users will prefer your outdated machine also | 04:47 |
| svetlana | Shadow}}: I'm not talking highly. I'm answering your question. | 04:47 |
| Metacity | Jadz1a: They aren't disabled per se, but they do stop. | 04:47 |
| Shadow}} | cfhowlett, Some reason I disagree... Everyone keeps saying I can't install Synapse bleeding edge, If so... I'm far less vulnerable. svetlana I meant the ones telling to "upgrade". | 04:47 |
| svetlana | Jadz1a, lotuspsychje: I think the folk already got that point. Let's wait for their next question and reply accordingly. | 04:47 |
| * Shadow}} shrugs "I suppose I got the answers I expected, Thank you all. Sincerely. | 04:49 | |
| svetlana | Shadow}}: You can install Synapse at any OS you feel suitable, but I don't see the reasoning behind "so I'm far less vulnerable" point. | 04:49 |
| Jadz1a | Metacity, just for curiosity, what was the common way in ubuntu 10 to update software packages, also using the software manager (because I coudnt see there any update-option)? | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | howcome CUPS doesnt show in startup items to disable? | 04:51 |

| cfhowlett | FreewheelinFrank, unnecessary | 05:29 |
| cfhowlett | FreewheelinFrank, 100 mb is more than adequate. why do you think you need to enlarge? | 05:29 |
| FreewheelinFrank | cfhowlett: Every time I attemp a system update it says /boot is too small | 05:29 |
| cfhowlett | FreewheelinFrank, when did you last clean out old kernels? | 05:30 |

| FreewheelinFrank | cfhowlett: the system updates do appear to be much larger than 100 mb! | 05:31 |
| cfhowlett | FreewheelinFrank, run this: dpkg --list | grep linux-image | 05:31 |
| cfhowlett | FreewheelinFrank, spring cleaning: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove first removes no downloaded packages from prior updates, second remove old kernels. it'll keep current kernel +1 old | 05:33 |

| awktion | !tor | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 06:24 |

| Akiva-Thinkpad | vijai_, rt3290 drivers?? | 06:41 |
| hamdoun | hi | 06:41 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | is that a wifi thing? | 06:42 |
| vijai_ | yes | 06:42 |
| vijai_ | ralink rt3290 | 06:42 |
| crawln | yeah it's wifi | 06:42 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | vijai_, usually you don't need to install drivers; should work out of the box | 06:42 |
| Navbor | I need some advice loggin into ubuntu forums. Am I in the correct channel and if so can anyone assist? | 06:42 |
| crawln | 3290 there is a dirver out there that works for it | 06:42 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, sort of | 06:42 |
| xangua | jorge2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy_%28software%29#Security_issues | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, #ubuntuforums has actual mods in it, which are actually very helpful | 06:43 |
| crawln | you've had to manually install the 3290 for ever | 06:43 |
| vijai_ | Akiva: there is a known issue with 3290 and asus x550 notebooks | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | I had trouble logging in too; whats your issue? | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | vijai_, okay fair enough | 06:43 |
| Navbor | So wrong channel then? | 06:43 |
| vijai_ | crawln: I tried compiling my own. But make failed to compile :/ | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | !ask | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 06:43 |
| crawln | vijai_, did you try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/455030/ralink-rt3290-wifi-driver-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-14-04 | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, ask away | 06:43 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | worst case scenario you will be sent to #ubuntuforums :P | 06:44 |
| Navbor | OK, I had an SSO account, but somehow I can no longer login. I created a new one, and now when I use SSO login, it takes me to the redicrect screen (heading for the forums), with the correct user nam, but once in the forums,. I cannot post anything. I cannot find the new post button, and the top of the screen still says "HELLO UNREGISTERED"...? | 06:45 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, so you log in, and then you get logged out right away? | 06:46 |
| Navbor | It seems that way. | 06:46 |
| Beldar | Navbor, Ubuntu Forums? | 06:46 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, Same issue. Are you on public wifi? | 06:46 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | I had the same issue* | 06:46 |
| Navbor | Nope, I have a secure wif connection,. | 06:46 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, try this; when you log in, and it asks for permission to use your real name, just switch it to what you currently have set | 06:47 |
| Navbor | OK will try | 06:47 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | and it will usually at least for me, let you stay logged in for about a minute or two :P | 06:47 |
| crawln | steam needs better games for linux systems | 06:48 |
| Navbor | I treid now, but it does not ask for permission, it just gets used. | 06:48 |
| Loshki | Akiva-Thinkpad: SSO? Single Sign On? | 06:48 |
| Navbor | I think so | 06:49 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | yep | 06:49 |
| crawln | the SSO has never really worked well | 06:49 |
| vijai_ | crawln: No. I havent | 06:49 |
| Navbor | What's the alternative? | 06:49 |
| vijai_ | will try now :) | 06:49 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, try pluggining into ethernet, see if that works | 06:49 |
| Loshki | Sorry to derail, but who manages SSO. Is that a ubuntu app? I thought it was a microsoft thing? | 06:49 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | otherwise, head to #ubuntuforums, they may have more up to date info than I | 06:49 |
| Navbor | Akiva, I would, but I cannot post since I cannot login. | 06:50 |
| crawln | SSO is an acronym. Nothing more | 06:50 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Loshki, think its canonical; | 06:50 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, yes, but try logging in while plugged to ethernet | 06:50 |
| * crawln ^ | 06:50 | |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, the reason is because as I understand, wifi changes the addresses or something, and causes a log out | 06:51 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | I'm not a network guy | 06:51 |
| crawln | wifi never changes the address of anything. | 06:51 |
| crawln | it's just bad scripting on the internal part | 06:52 |
| Navbor | OK, maybe I need a bit more explanation. I am connected to the router via ethernet. The connection on the router is a secure one. Sorry I misunderstood the question earlier. I have an ethernet connected directly to a Centos server which manages all the security etc, and the Centos is inturn connceted to the router via ethernet. | 06:52 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, don't complain to me :S | 06:52 |
| crawln | Oh i'm not complaining | 06:52 |
| crawln | just stating a fact. they didn't think the session loggin through enough on their part. | 06:52 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, well.... considering what happened before | 06:53 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | with the forum being hacked | 06:53 |
| crawln | So they go to 1 login to rule them all :P | 06:53 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | its sort of heads they win, tails we lose. | 06:53 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, works fine for launchpad :P | 06:54 |
| crawln | lol | 06:54 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Navbor, So I failed you ;_; try #ubuntuforums | 06:54 |
| Navbor | Akiva, no problem, thanks for trying. | 06:55 |
| crawln | First thing they'll say is cookies enabled :P | 06:55 |
| Loshki | I found an SSO wikipedia page. Under unix/linux it says kerberized client applications (wow, is that *still* state-of-the-art?). Is that what Ubuntu uses? | 06:56 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | The forums have been largely supplanted by AskUbuntu. | 06:56 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | Loshki, good question for #ubuntu-kernel maybe | 06:57 |
| Loshki | Akiva-Thinkpad: I think I'll do a bit more research before I bother them. I just found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SingleSignOn | 06:59 |

| crawln | I'm comfortable. Just lazy.. | 07:01 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, Actually I disagree | 07:01 |
| Loshki | crawln: yeah. What's so great about arch? | 07:01 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | and the reason is because Unity has features arch lacks | 07:01 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | and Unity on Arch is not a smooth experience. | 07:01 |
| enchilado | Akiva-Thinkpad | 07:01 |
| enchilado | Congratulations | 07:01 |
| crawln | I like the rolling distro | 07:02 |
| enchilado | You are the first person I have met who likes Unity | 07:02 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | As a developer, I find a far superior workflow on ubuntu compared to arch. | 07:02 |
| svetlana | enchilado, <3 | 07:02 |
| crawln | makes getting newer packages that fix things like memory leaks and crap that ubuntu won't update until a new release | 07:02 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | enchilado, Oh I love it; it maximizes vertical screen realstate | 07:02 |
| crawln | but also means they break crap alot lmao | 07:02 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | hmmm | 07:02 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | here, I can show you why I think its superior; let me share a video I made, and you will see my point | 07:03 |
| Loshki | enchilado: a *developer* who likes Unity. Curiouser and curiouser... | 07:03 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | http://youtu.be/XEnoX7AB_-M?t=10m30s | 07:04 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | here, I fast forwarded it to its best feature in action. | 07:04 |
| crawln | when unity figures out how to put a conky as the background and not use conky as a fake background we be in business lol | 07:04 |
| xangua | crawln: isn't that because of compiz¿ | 07:05 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, probably you would do it with xwinwrap | 07:05 |
| crawln | xangua, yeah it's compiz | 07:05 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | thats what you use to put screensavers as backgrounds | 07:05 |
| crawln | conky still fun to play with | 07:05 |
| crawln | lol | 07:05 |
| crawln | blah i've had just about enough json schema's to last me a lifetime lol | 07:07 |
| crawln | whoever invented this is the devil. | 07:07 |
| * crawln yes i know how came up with it. | 07:07 | |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, want to see something cool? | 07:08 |
| crawln | sure | 07:08 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, http://i.imgur.com/m9sKenI.png | 07:09 |

| crawln | Akiva-Thinkpad, http://imgur.com/6Xdjrwc | 07:11 |
| crawln | Akiva-Thinkpad, and it goes out of the way | 07:11 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | oh I use guake too | 07:12 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | its very nice | 07:12 |
| enchilado | Akiva-Thinkpad: the menu search feature looks useful, I suppose, but it seems like something that is not really reliant on the rest of unity | 07:12 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | enchilado, You can program it in anything, however the feature exists and is a part of unity | 07:13 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | and it is not a part of gnome shell, or kde, or xfce4, or anything else | 07:13 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | so for the time being, arch users can talk, but its just ricer syndrome as far as I am concerned | 07:13 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | the new gentoo users | 07:13 |
| crawln | what i don't need is random suggestions on it | 07:14 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, what are you talking about? | 07:14 |
| crawln | the suggestions filter | 07:14 |
| crawln | :P | 07:14 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | which suggestions filter? | 07:15 |
| kostkon | a bit ot, but there's also cool-old-term if anyone is interested https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term | 07:15 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | the dash or the hud? | 07:15 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | kostkon, +1 | 07:15 |
| crawln | hud | 07:15 |
| kostkon | :) | 07:15 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | crawln, I disagree; this often lets me know what other features are available. | 07:15 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | and sometimes features have similar names and so it lets me know how to filter it better next time. | 07:16 |
| crawln | type in screen and you get 'yellow screen' 'green screen' 'blue screen' each on is 1.98 | 07:16 |
| crawln | :P | 07:16 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | sometimes what I do, say for example in firefox for bookmarks, or Qt Creator for Macros, I append a tilde (~) to the command, so it makes it easy for me to grab it. | 07:17 |

| sweb | MeAndMyWorld: i dont want to upgrate to 14.10 ... `do-release-upgrade` will work well ? | 07:59 |
| cfhowlett | sweb, that's not an upgrade, that' s beta testing. 14.10 has NOT been released. | 08:00 |
| sweb | cfhowlett: if release the command still safe to be upgrade from LTS to upper LTS ? | 08:00 |
| cfhowlett | sweb, 14.10 is not lts | 08:00 |
| cfhowlett | sweb, and ubuntu doesn't have "upper LTS" - whatever that is. | 08:01 |
| sweb | cfhowlett: i know ... `do-release-upgrade` always upgrade to later LTS version or latest version of Ubuntu | 08:01 |
| cfhowlett | sweb, latest RELEASED version ... | 08:01 |
| Flannel | sweb, cfhowlett: from 12.04, you would never upgrade directly to 14.10, you'll go to 14.04 (and then you could maybe go again to 14.10). There's a configuration variable (in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades) that determines whether you'll ever go from 14.04 to 14.10 or if you'll wait for 16.04 (or technically, 16.04.1) to upgrade. | 08:03 |

| bazhang | !usb | parapan 16/32 should do | 08:24 |
| ubottu | parapan 16/32 should do: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 08:24 |
| bazhang | see the link on persistence parapan | 08:24 |
| Evil_Creep | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226378 << Great flash drive and cheap. My has lasted more then a year. | 08:24 |
| parapan | bazhang: but what will serve me most on a USB install ..the space or the speed ?? | 08:28 |
| DusXMT | parapan: the fact that you don't need to burn a CD | 08:28 |
| * DusXMT finds | 08:28 | |
| bazhang | parapan, neither . usb persistent will be slower. | 08:29 |
| parapan | DusXMT: I'm almost positive that on the CD you cannot burn additional files ..I need a persistent version :D | 08:29 |
| DusXMT | parapan: if you figure out how to edit .squashfs files, then you can | 08:30 |
| parapan | bazhang: K, I can live with that > any ideea about speed ? half the HDD speed ? | 08:30 |
| zmaja | need to run two terminal commands on startup, any help? | 08:30 |
| bazhang | much slower parapan | 08:30 |
| DusXMT | zmaja: At boot, or login? | 08:30 |
| zmaja | DusXMT: login | 08:30 |
| zmaja | need to run one after another, and terminal window needs to remain open | 08:31 |
| parapan | pffff ...So it is wothed than ? my problem is that my work laptop is encrypted HDD and also full of reporting and monitoring tools ... | 08:31 |
| Evil_Creep | A normal cheap 2.0 USB flash drive gets about 10MB/s.. The pricy 3.0 can do 100MB/s.. | 08:31 |
| parapan | bazhang: and want to have this live persistent Ubuntu do do my own stuff without anyone sneaking around my system =)) | 08:32 |
| ady | ok | 08:32 |
| parapan | bazhang: I have USB3 port on the laptop that's why I was thinking about an USB 3 pendrive . .. . | 08:37 |
| bazhang | parapan, so make one and see | 08:38 |
| Evil_Creep | Ok if no one knows how to fix the cronjob sending me e-mails (I've already tried googling a fix but haven't found one for the flash plugin update notification) is there a way to change the postmaster@domain.com to another e-mail. Gmail keeps trying to resent the e-mails but I don't have a mail server so postmaster doesn't exist. | 08:39 |
| zmaja | ok, i got terminal to open on login | 08:49 |
| phreaker | moin moin | 08:49 |
| zmaja | added gnome-terminal to startup applications | 08:49 |

| bazhang | zmaja, create a script for it , then place it in startup | 08:54 |
| zmaja | will the script keep terminal open after running? | 08:54 |
| Cage | Hello. | 08:55 |
| tanghao | 我刚才再老外们的ubuntu频道问了一下那个问题，据说在ubuntu上使用ibus，没有中文乱码的困扰？真的假的 | 08:55 |
| bazhang | zmaja, is that what you want to happen? you need to give way more info | 08:55 |
| tanghao | sorryy | 08:55 |
| zmaja | gimme a sec, i think i got it | 08:55 |
| andyfied | very quick question, is xchat not maintained any more? | 08:55 |
| tanghao | i reply a wrong place | 08:55 |
| bazhang | tanghao, ibus works fine. if set correctly | 08:56 |
| bazhang | andyfied, hexchat is | 08:56 |
| bazhang | !info hexchat | andyfied | 08:56 |
| ubottu | andyfied: hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.9.6.1-2 (trusty), package size 317 kB, installed size 1024 kB | 08:56 |
| andyfied | bazhang, i'm on hexchat now, just setting it up with a nice theme | 08:56 |
| zmaja | bazhang: ok, so after log in, a terminal window opens, a change directory command runs, then another command runs, and the window stays open | 08:56 |
| zmaja | how do i make that happen? | 08:56 |
| andyfied | thanks for the info though :) | 08:56 |
| zmaja | upto now, i have terminal starting up using a startup application | 08:57 |
| bazhang | zmaja, ask here, or get help in #bash | 08:57 |
| Cage | I think I'm in the wrong room, I was just looking to chat, can anyone suggest a better room for that? Most are dead, I'm new to this and guessing hasn't been effective. | 08:57 |
| bazhang | Cage, #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:57 |
| Cage | Thanks. | 08:57 |
| bazhang | cage also use alis to search | 08:58 |

| Senji | what I add a PPA for example ppa:gnome-desktop or some other ppa thats recomended to me via offhand comments, what guarantees the source of that PPA? i mean, it's not a url with a domain, where is this name->authority of ppas stored? | 08:58 |
| Senji | when* | 08:58 |
| bazhang | Senji, no guarantee, you are on your own | 08:59 |
| Senji | no i mean, uh, how does my system know where to get the files from ppa:some-string-here | 09:00 |
| bazhang | Senji, if you mean the integrity, signing etc, thats launchpad | 09:00 |
| Senji | i'm just confused because it's not a url, so it must be contact an official ubuntu server and fetching the url from this string right? | 09:01 |
| bazhang | Senji, typically from /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 09:01 |
| bazhang | launchpad Senji | 09:01 |
| bazhang | not an official ubuntu repo, Senji | 09:02 |
| kostkon | zmaja, either do gnome-terminal --commmand=your commands or you could create the script, then create a custom desktop file for it and set the Terminal key to True more info here http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.1.html you could find and edit a desktop file that's already on your system .e.g locate .desktop make the desktop file executable, place it in ~/.local/share/app | 09:04 |
| kostkon | lications then in the startup apps window add the name of that file, e.g. if it's myapp.desktop, then add "myapp" | 09:04 |
| kostkon | too long :/ | 09:04 |
| anto | Hi | 09:06 |

| k1lleD | Hello everyone, i have a few question, first i have laptop Acer V3-772G with 8 ram, nvidia 750M video 4702MQ haswell processor. so i install ubuntu and fist thing is... when i start my laptop, and come login screen, i write my password, click log in, and watch 15-20 seconds only background photo... then everything shows up and is OK. | 09:09 |
| rah | I'm trying to get Google Hangouts working | 09:09 |
| zmaja | errr, do my commands have a comma in between them? | 09:09 |
| rah | I have a webcam that works fine in Cheese | 09:09 |
| k1lleD | And 2nd thing is, my soundd is really low.. at windows 7 and windows 8 when i make sound 12-15 is more high then in ubuntu 50%... | 09:09 |
| rah | however. Google Hangouts reports that no webcam is found | 09:10 |
| k1lleD | sry about bad english... | 09:10 |
| rah | how can I get my webcam to work? | 09:10 |
| svetlana | rah: don't use google hangouts. use tox. this is my personal view, anyway. a less-personal view would be to use empathy possibly, as it's more "stable". | 09:10 |
| zmaja | as in, i need to change directory then run a command, kostkon? | 09:10 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, get the google hangout plugin ? | 09:10 |
| kostkon | zmaja, separate them using the semicolon aka ; | 09:11 |
| zmaja | nice | 09:13 |
| zmaja | thanks a lot man | 09:13 |
| kostkon | zmaja, np | 09:13 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: I have the google hangout plugin; google hangouts wouldn't be able to report that no webcam is found, if I didn't have google hangouts | 09:13 |
| zmaja | saved me from rummaging thru google results ,lol | 09:13 |
| kostkon | zmaja, :) | 09:13 |
| rah | how do I get my webcam working with google hangouts? | 09:15 |
| RoBo_V | I think I need swap for hibernation, I have 8GB ram. What is good way to set it up and how much space ? | 09:19 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin/download.html you can try to install it. it may have the driver you need. | 09:20 |
| k1lleD | ello everyone, i have a few question, first i have laptop Acer V3-772G with 8 ram, nvidia 750M video 4702MQ haswell processor. so i install ubuntu and fist thing is... when i start my laptop, and come login screen, i write my password, click log in, and watch 15-20 seconds only background photo... then everything shows up and is OK. Why i must wait that 15-20 sec, what is problem? | 09:24 |
| k1lleD | And 2nd thing is, my sound is really low.. at windows 7 and windows 8 when i make sound 12-15 is more high then in ubuntu 50%... | 09:24 |
| N3uroNut | RoBo_V you might wanna follow this tutorial: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/442430-increase-your-available-swap-space-with-a-swap-file | 09:25 |
| rogier | I installed "WinThumbnails" gnome extension. It does not really work and i can not remove it! How do I get rid of this monstrosity? (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/335/winthumbnails/) | 09:26 |
| N3uroNut | rogier, how did you install it? | 09:27 |
| rogier | From the gnome website. | 09:27 |
| N3uroNut | was it a debian package? | 09:27 |
| rogier | Its a shell extension. | 09:27 |
| rogier | I'm not sure. If you go the the website I linked to there is an on/ off switch. | 09:28 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ here is another way | 09:28 |
| arpit | hye | 09:28 |
| arpit | i m new someone is here | 09:29 |
| rogier | Top comment suggest removing it from home folder but I can not find it there. | 09:29 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, first of all, check your logs. open the system log app, check for any errors in e.g. syslog, kern.log, Xorg.0.log also check the .xsession-errors log, by doing e.g. gedit ~/.xsession-errors | 09:29 |
| N3uroNut | rogier, okay here are several files that can be downloaded. which ones did you use? | 09:30 |
| rogier | I don't know. Just put the switch to "on" it then auto installs. | 09:31 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, for your volume level problem, check your hardware volume levels with alsamixer, open terminal, give: alsamixer better have a look at its manual first with man alsamixer | 09:31 |
| rogier | Sorry this is a gnome 3 problem, running debian. Just went to #ubuntu because I used ubuntu for years. | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | rogier, !debian is your channel | 09:32 |
| rogier | Yes maybe more gnome channel? Although Ubuntu supports gnome 3? | 09:32 |
| k1lleD | kostkon: what i should looking for in logs? there have like 350-400 rows log only about starting OS | 09:32 |
| k1lleD | okey i try alsamixer now | 09:32 |
| rogier | Just want to remove this peace of crap. | 09:32 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, for anything unusual, for lines containing words like warning, error, missing, etc. | 09:33 |
| N3uroNut | rogier, Sorry I'm not really a GNOME expert. but I think the extensions are stored somewhere in your home dir in a hidden folder | 09:34 |
| N3uroNut | maybe if you delete the corresponding folder there you might get rid of it... but that's just a mere guess | 09:34 |
| rogier | Been searching could not find. I will head over to #gnome | 09:35 |
| rogier | Thnx! | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | hello I have an issue yesterdY i changed pw with sudo passwd user and now i canot access gui | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | why and how to fix it? | 09:35 |
| N3uroNut | ur welcome | 09:35 |
| DaemonErebus | maybe here: ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | i cant even this via terminal | 09:35 |
| k1lleD | so kostkon with error i find something, its a time when i start PC | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | su - stefan | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | Password: | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | Signature not found in user keyring | 09:35 |
| OnceMe | Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private' | 09:35 |
| N3uroNut | pushing a button in a browser to install some extensions really scares the crap outta me | 09:36 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: err.. eh? | 09:36 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: that's the webpage for a driver | 09:36 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: what does that have to gdo with google hangouts? | 09:36 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, you said it takes a minute or so for the login process to complete | 09:36 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: I already told you, I have the hangouts plugin installed | 09:36 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: and I already told you that the webcam works in Cheese | 09:37 |
| OnceMe | can someone help me | 09:37 |
| OnceMe | help me pls | 09:38 |
| OnceMe | i want to use my ubuntu | 09:38 |
| Valarkin_ | rah: Hangouts? You might be better off asking in the G+ communites or via a traget post | 09:38 |
| Valarkin_ | *targeted | 09:38 |
| rah | Valarkin_: I don't do G+ | 09:39 |
| rah | Valarkin_: what's "traget"? | 09:39 |
| Valarkin_ | yet you do hangouts? | 09:39 |
| N3uroNut | OnceMe, can you open a terminal? | 09:39 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, you could try simple things, like resetting your gnome settings or your unity/compiz ones. although they are not very drastic, they will remove any customisations you may have applied, like themes, icons, widget placement, default apps, etc. | 09:39 |
| Valarkin_ | it is corrected in the next line. | 09:39 |
| OnceMe | yes | 09:40 |
| OnceMe | i | 09:40 |
| OnceMe | brb | 09:40 |
| Valarkin_ | So 'you do not do' the place that will likely answer your question? | 09:40 |
| Valarkin_ | good luchk with that. | 09:40 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, that is the general driver that i use on all my pcs and it works alot of the time. either on eis my recommendation - then restart and try again | 09:41 |
| emx | there is a page that has links to minimalistic ubuntu images (i don't mean minimal cd). where do i find it? | 09:41 |
| k1lleD | kostkon: i did nothing like customisations at my ubuntu. how to full reset it. and btw, there is the errors | 09:41 |
| k1lleD | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8268506/ | 09:41 |
| emx | never mind: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core | 09:42 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, ok, could you post the contents of your .xsession-errors file | 09:42 |
| k1lleD | mmoment | 09:43 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, the slowness starts only after you login right? | 09:43 |
| k1lleD | kostkon: yes, i log in click enter, and then 15-20 sec i watching only background photo and wait to show everything else | 09:44 |
| kostkon | ok | 09:44 |
| rah | Valarkin_: I don't do hangouts either but I have a job interview and they've requested to use hangouts | 09:44 |
| rah | htmlinprogress: I have restarted, it hasn't helped | 09:44 |
| k1lleD | and first 30 seconds is like i cant open any program, i wait for any program 10-15 sec to open | 09:44 |
| k1lleD | and after 2-3 min started OS, everything is gone OK | 09:45 |
| rah | how do I get my webcam working with google hangouts? | 09:45 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, you might want to check this: EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro | 09:46 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, you could backup your data, just in case, and then force a fsck | 09:47 |
| k1lleD | kostkon: this is second HDD on laptop and i have 0 data to save.. there is ubuntu to learn things. so tell me what is the general problem? how i can fix it, where i to read about it? | 09:48 |
| Valarkin_ | rah: Then you need to do them. All I am saying is that if you do a g+ search you will find the people who both know g+ and ubuntu | 09:48 |
| Valarkin_ | I assure you this has been discssed there ;) | 09:48 |
| He4dShOt | hey guys | 09:49 |
| * Valarkin_ is much more knowledgable about G+ than Ubuntu ;) | 09:49 | |
| vitimiti | I almost don't know about G+, I'm really clumsy about these social networks | 09:50 |
| kostkon | k1lleD, ok, then in a terminal give: sudo touch /forcefsck and then reboot | 09:51 |
| He4dShOt | I'm having some problem with the nvidia driver...if I install it X won't start automatically anymore, but with nouveau it will freeze 2 minutes after login | 09:51 |
| Valarkin_ | I quite like it as a platform - I rent fuill public a couple of years ago | 09:51 |
| Valarkin_ | feels really strange to be hiding behind handles again | 09:51 |
| k1lleD | kostkon: okey | 09:51 |
| Valarkin_ | oops, off topic, sorry | 09:51 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, did you restart after the programs i recommended was installed? | 09:52 |
| helmut_ | hi | 09:53 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 09:54 |
| htmlinprogress | rah, if that does not work. that im out of idea with this headache- not you though just getting tired. | 09:55 |

| rah | how do I get my webcam working with google hangouts? | 10:09 |
| k1lleD | rah: did actually your webcam work? on skype or something like this? i think there is no problem to work ont hangouts too... | 10:11 |
| minimec | rah: open this url in chromium-browser or google chrome for a start... | 10:11 |
| minimec | http://www.google.com/hangouts/ | 10:11 |
| k1lleD | rah: what browser using? | 10:13 |
| rah | k1lleD: yes, it works in cheese | 10:13 |
| rah | minimec: I've installed google hangouts, that's how I know it isn't working | 10:13 |
| rah | k1lleD: chrome | 10:14 |
| k1lleD | well let me install hangouts to check my work or no | 10:14 |
| minimec | rah: ok. Is this a USB webcam or an integrated laptop cam? what does 'ls /dev/video*' give you? | 10:15 |
| k1lleD | can be video0 | 10:16 |
| cfhowlett | rah, if it works in cheese, you have good webcam drivers. sounds like configuring google hangouts is your issue. DID YOU open google hangouts in chrome as was suggested? | 10:16 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:19 |
| cfhowlett | BluesKaj, hey bubba! | 10:20 |
| BluesKaj | hi cfhowlett | 10:20 |
| rah | minimec: it's a usb webcam, and /dev/video0 is present | 10:22 |
| rah | cfhowlett: yes, I opened google hangouts in chrome | 10:22 |
| rah | I'm trying to get Google Hangouts working. I have a webcam which works fine with Cheese however, in a video call in Google Hangouts it tells me no device is found. | 10:23 |
| k1lleD | rah: how you install hangouts, from where? | 10:23 |
| k1lleD | my cam works pervectlly fine at hangouts | 10:24 |
| rah | k1lleD: from google | 10:24 |
| k1lleD | chromium or chrome | 10:24 |
| minimec | rah: ok. So I guess you shouldn't have major problems. Looks like you have a working UVC based Webcam... | 10:24 |
| rah | k1lleD: chrome | 10:24 |
| k1lleD | hmm | 10:25 |
| minimec | rah: Are you logged in to that chrome hangout window? We could check whether the cam works... | 10:25 |
| rah | minimec: yes, I'm logged in | 10:26 |
| k1lleD | rah: you have PM | 10:26 |
| minimec | rah: if you '/notice minimec <your_hangout_name>' here in the chat window, I should get your hangout name. I could then try to find you... | 10:27 |
| rah | minimec: I'm not sure what you mean by "hangout name" but my email address is rah@bash.sh | 10:28 |
| rah | which I'm not concerned about hiding | 10:28 |
| rah | thanks | 10:28 |

| minimec | rah: "The video call ended because of an error" | 10:32 |
| minimec | rah: ok. connected again. | 10:32 |
| minimec | rah: I guess, you cannot see my cam image, can you? | 10:33 |
| rah | I cannot, no | 10:33 |

| helloubuntu | hi | 10:44 |
| helloubuntu | i need help as i am unable to search for apps in dash | 10:44 |
| drvanon | I messed up my apache2 config, and I want to completely reinstall it. It should also revert file permissions is this possible? | 10:45 |
| rah | minimec: I didn't get an invite; sent you a call | 10:45 |
| rah | it looks.. like this doesn't work :-/ | 10:45 |
| rah | I'm going to use smelly Windows :-/ | 10:46 |
| rah | minimec: thanks for the efforts | 10:46 |
| minimec | rah: Yeah. I heard the call, but did not know how to accept. ;) | 10:46 |
| rah | I have to go and buy a webcam | 10:46 |
| emx | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core <-- how do i add a local user and password? | 10:46 |
| minimec | rah: No problem Wanted to know, how it works too. So I can say that I have voice and video running in firefox with hte google-talk-plugin, but CPU is high... | 10:47 |
| minimec | rah: Next try. INvitation sent... | 10:47 |
| drvanon | I keep getting a 403 on my apache2 server. I think I did all the file permissions right. What is going on? | 10:48 |
| bekks | drvanon: Take a look at the apache logs - and 403 indicates that permissions arent set correctly. What did you cahnge where? | 10:48 |
| bekks | *change | 10:48 |
| drvanon | client denied by server configuration: /var/www/ | 10:49 |
| bekks | drvanon: So which permissions did you change where? | 10:49 |
| drvanon | <Directory /var/www/html> Require all granted </Directory> | 10:49 |
| drvanon | www root:root (-R) -> www-data:www-data | 10:50 |
| emx | what prevents me from logging in as root? | 10:50 |
| helloubuntu | unable to search any apps in dash | 10:50 |
| minimec | rah: Looks better. We seem connected. Do you hear Johnny Herbert speaking? ;) | 10:50 |
| bekks | emx: Thefact that there is no root password set so you cannot log in as root. | 10:50 |
| rah | minimec: I do indeed | 10:50 |
| bekks | !root | emx | 10:50 |
| ubottu | emx: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:50 |
| rah | minimec: so your webcam works | 10:50 |
| rah | minimec: mine doesn't :-/ | 10:51 |
| minimec | rah: What about the image? Voice comes via logitech headset | 10:51 |
| rah | yep, I can see the image as well | 10:51 |
| rah | this is weird | 10:51 |
| rah | I can see my own IRC text over webcam | 10:51 |
| rah | this is a novel experience :-) | 10:52 |
| * rah puts windows side-by-side to see it in real-time | 10:52 | |
| rah | lol | 10:52 |
| minimec | rah: So I have a Logitech Webcam Sphere, I am running firefox right now with the google-talk-plugin-64bit. Up and running... Cpu is rather high, but it's working. | 10:52 |
| rah | well I'm using chrome | 10:53 |
| rah | I'll see if firefox is any better | 10:53 |
| emx | bekks, then how do i add a user? i know i need to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. but what do i need to take care of? | 10:53 |
| minimec | rah: I have to leave you for a moment. I have to do some weekend shopping. Will be back in an hour for the formula 1 qualifying. We can continue testing then... OK? | 10:54 |
| rah | minimec: ok, thanks for the help | 10:54 |
| emx | the thing is: i have a running linux on amd64 arch. the system i try to get running is arm arch. | 10:54 |
| bekks | emx: ou dont edit those files manually. Never. Do not. Dont. Use "useradd" instead. | 10:54 |
| emx | bekks how? | 10:54 |
| bekks | emx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto | 10:54 |
| emx | how do i run a useradd for (chrooted) arm arch on a amd64 arch? | 10:54 |
| bekks | emx: you cannot chroot into some installation for a different architecture. | 10:55 |
| bekks | emx: what are you actually trying to do there? | 10:55 |
| emx | bekks, i can chroot, but i can't run a program. | 10:55 |
| bekks | emx: because arm is a totally different architecture than amd64. | 10:56 |
| emx | bekks, adding a user to the arm image i got from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core | 10:56 |
| emx | bekks, i know | 10:56 |
| bekks | emx: If you knew that, you wouldnt try to do that ;) | 10:56 |
| emx | the easiest way to fix this in my opinion is temporarily setting a root password | 10:56 |
| emx | bekks, that's why i never tried. | 10:56 |
| * emx is a little wannabe software engineer :P | 10:57 | |
| bekks | emx: you just said you are trying to chroot into an arm installation from a amd64 host. Thats impossible. | 10:57 |
| emx | bekks, you can chroot | 10:57 |
| bekks | emx: amd64 cannot run arm code, so you cannot run anything. | 10:57 |
| emx | bekks, that's correct | 10:57 |
| emx | but how do i add a user? | 10:57 |
| bekks | emx: so whatever you are trying there, using chroot is pointless, since you cannot run useradd inside that chroot. | 10:58 |
| emx | bekks, i know | 10:58 |
| emx | i can boot my arm platform but can't log in because root has no pw and i can't (or shouldn't) add a user without running any program. | 10:59 |

| therealjayvi | I just reinstalled Ubuntu because it was quite clear I had no idea what I was doing when I installed it the first time. Since I have a fresh new install this time what should I do now? Isnt there some commands i need to run before I go too far? | 11:34 |
| voidfire | therealjayvi: install xubuntu for starters | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | voidfire: why not use your backups? | 11:35 |
| voidfire | less unity and clutter and spy stuff | 11:35 |
| therealjayvi | whats that and how do I get there from here | 11:35 |
| vitimiti | There's no spy stuff, dude | 11:35 |
| voidfire | ActionParsnip: it wasnt my encryption dir.. i tried to help someone in here but he couldnt remember his passphrase at all | 11:35 |
| voidfire | nor try | 11:35 |
| therealjayvi | I like seriously messed up my profile the first time , it was pretty bad | 11:36 |
| vitimiti | therealjayvi, it's another distro based off ubuntu, with the xfce desktop instead | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | voidfire: yes, there is no "spy stuff" in Ubuntu | 11:36 |
| voidfire | vitimiti: I thought unity was tracking searches and stuff | 11:36 |
| voidfire | i'll take that back and I ask for forgiveness then | 11:36 |
| vitimiti | voidfire, you can deactivate it, and will most likely be deactivated by default in next releases | 11:36 |
| vitimiti | And "spy" is that it uses web search and amazon search | 11:36 |
| therealjayvi | soooo run something in the terminal and then its added...? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | voidfire: the searches can be sent to Amazon, but each user is not individually identifiable | 11:37 |
| therealjayvi | i literally know nothing about linux like pretty much straight nub | 11:37 |
| voidfire | average person doeesnt want to let amazon have his interests and targeted ads and and you know.. I said sorry already :) | 11:37 |
| therealjayvi | but I get the basics | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | therealjayvi: what do you want to achieve? | 11:37 |
| vitimiti | voidfire, deactivate it until it's deactivated by default | 11:37 |
| voidfire | therealjayvi: what I did was getting xubuntu then running some commands to turn it to uberstudent. nothing broke or not working plus some educational material. but I wont vouch for it | 11:38 |
| voidfire | vitimiti: maybe some of the user will do. others wont even know about ;p | 11:38 |
| vitimiti | I'd rather use Lubuntu than Xubuntu | 11:38 |
| therealjayvi | I wiped my drive and installed from usb and it runs pretty good but the first time I was following some random guide online and after install I had to like run some commands to update library | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | therealjayvi: update which library? | 11:39 |
| vitimiti | voidfire, if you don't like it, you'll google for it. It's a few clicks away | 11:39 |
| therealjayvi | and I think thats why a lot of things arent working for me now becuase I dont really know what to type out and im afraid of messing things up | 11:39 |
| therealjayvi | you know I really dont know >.< | 11:39 |
| therealjayvi | but the one thing I learned is to not follow what random people decide to post on google searches thats for sure | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | therealjayvi: just get system updates and get your hardware working | 11:40 |
| voidfire | therealjayvi: keep backups and never bee afraid of breaking the universe of ur personal machine , its not a production or anything important you can always reinstall and you keep what you ve learned from your mistakes | 11:40 |
| therealjayvi | seems like everything is working so far but how do I make sure? | 11:40 |
| therealjayvi | I mean moreso like how do I get latest drivers for my laptop? | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | therealjayvi: just use the hardware as you expect | 11:41 |
| voidfire | therealjayvi: aside from random people there are ubuntu forums as well as stackoverflow and similar sites that state ubuntu and the particular version as well as which answer is accept as correct | 11:41 |
| vitimiti | You can use the additional drivers program if you want privative drivers that are available for ubuntu | 11:41 |

| si7adby | hi to all. Can anyone tell me what's the key to press to make totem play video again at normal speed? I, by mistake, pressed some keys and now the video speed is faster than normal. | 12:39 |
| wapiflapi | Hi guys. How does fan control work? I'm using a Dell Latitude laptop, fans are always turning at full speed. I get it working when using i8kutils (and disabling bios control for fans) b ut that doesnt look like somthing that will automatically make the fans turn faster when needed. | 12:43 |
| wapiflapi | Am I correct in assuming this is will not manage the fans according to temperature ? And what would be the right tools to use for this ? | 12:44 |
| MonkeyDust | wapiflapi is this useful http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/08/how-to-control-fan-speeds-in-ubuntu/ | 12:46 |

| wapiflapi | I'm reading, first thing I don't like is its just a list of commands and doesnt actualy explain anything. | 12:48 |
| si7adby | so anyone can answer me? | 12:49 |
| MrElendig | wapiflapi: read the lm_sensors docs | 12:49 |
| MrElendig | asuming your fans are controllable using pwm from software | 12:49 |
| wapiflapi | does lm_sensors control fans ? Doesnt sound obvious with the name only | 12:49 |
| wapiflapi | will take a look at the docs, thanks for the pointer! | 12:49 |
| MrElendig | it comes with a tool named pwmcontrol | 12:49 |
| === nikyr0x91 is now known as nikyr0x-Away | ||
| MonkeyDust | wapiflapi additional: this is an easy way to monitor your computer's temperature, in terminal: watch -n 1 -d sensors <-- 1 second interval | 12:50 |
| MrElendig | and fancontrol | 12:50 |
| MrElendig | i8kutils is usually what you want for dell boxes though | 12:51 |
| MrElendig | it is configurable | 12:51 |
| wapiflapi | the thing I dont understand is when everyone talks about "monitoring" does that involve changing fan speed automatically or will it just tell me my laptop is overheating and that I should change fan speed manually ? | 12:51 |
| MrElendig | wapiflapi: make sure you have auto enabled in /etc/i8kutils/i8kmon.conf | 12:52 |
| MrElendig | and that i8kmon is actually running | 12:52 |
| wapiflapi | That sounds helpfull, thanks didnt know about the auto option | 12:52 |
| Ruruik | hello all, i want to ask, does low ram comsumesion will make also low power? | 12:52 |
| MrElendig | Ruruik: generally no | 12:52 |
| MrElendig | not on x86 anyway | 12:52 |
| Ruruik | MrElendig: and how i make my computer can run below normal for the power? | 12:53 |
| MrElendig | on some other architectures it might, but the difference is usually not significant | 12:53 |
| Ruruik | MrElendig: so it doesn't | 12:53 |
| MrElendig | cpu scaling makes a much bigger difference | 12:53 |
| MrElendig | and if this is a laptop then screen brighness is the biggest factor | 12:53 |
| Ruruik | MrElendig: and how if i change my laptop ram to lowvo? | 12:54 |
| MrElendig | Ruruik: laptops generally don't let you change the ram voltage | 12:54 |
| MrElendig | and many even ignores memory profiles | 12:54 |
| MrElendig | xmp/spd profiles that is | 12:55 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest1547 | ||
| Ruruik | MrElendig: so if i buy a big hi cap battery is that great option? or stick with the wall electric cable? | 12:55 |

| MrElendig | the hardware, the workload etc | 12:56 |
| flips | Installed som packages from a repository. Want to downgrade. Commented out the sources.list.d/repofile entries, have the list of the packages I want to downgrade ... but can't remember how to force apt to fetch older versions | 12:57 |
| wapiflapi | MrElendig: looks like i8kmon is started as: tclsh /usr/bin/i8kmon --daemon --nouserconfig --auto | 12:58 |
| wapiflapi | And I can't find any config files | 12:58 |
| MrElendig | shoukd be one in /etc | 12:58 |
| wapiflapi | but I supose since its started with --auto it should be safe to deactivate bios control for the fans right ? | 12:59 |
| BluesKaj | wapiflapi, do you have / and /home partitions? | 12:59 |
| wapiflapi | I do | 12:59 |
| BluesKaj | wapiflapi, why not just install the previous release in / , then your settings and configs are still available as is your data | 13:00 |
| wapiflapi | New laptop, old settings are irelevant | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | as long as you tell ubiquity to use the .home mountpoint with formatting in manual partitioning | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | new laptop or not, a new install of the older OS will still work better than fooling the sources etc | 13:03 |
| wapiflapi | 'm not sure we're talking about the same thing BluesKaj | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps not , maybe i misread | 13:03 |

| Mrokii | Hello. What is an easy / standards compliant way to convert an avi-file to a DVD? I tried DeVeDe, but it doesn't work for me as, despite my attempts to change the path, it always tries to write its tmp-file to the system-HD (which doesn't have enough free space). | 13:04 |

| dunpeal | Hi. I'm trying to install 14.04.1 from USB onto my friend's Vaio laptop. Problem is, when I try to "boot from USB", all I get is a black screen with blinking cursor. | 13:48 |
| dunpeal | How do I debug this? | 13:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !nomodeset | dunpeal | 13:48 |
| ubottu | dunpeal: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:48 |
| dunpeal | MonkeyDust: I don't even get a purple screen... | 13:49 |
| Mrokii | cfhowlett, MonkeyDust: Brasery tells me that the mpg isn't suitable for audio or video media. :-( | 13:49 |

| cfhowlett | Mrokii, vlc-player runs on a different set of codecs. might be able to burn your dvd. | 13:54 |
| esseks | dunpeal, some tools get it wrong. Try using ddrescue or dd or cp to copy from the .iso file to the right block device. Maybe use /dev/disk/by-id/.... just to be sure. And remember to sync after. | 13:54 |
| dunpeal | esseks: is there a URL about how to create a boot disk with these alternative tools? | 13:55 |
| flips | what's up with singleuser/recovery mode trying to load samba and stuff? (14.04) | 13:55 |
| dunpeal | esseks: also, is there any alternative (like Windows "safe mode") way of booting the liveusb? | 13:56 |
| dunpeal | perhaps by pressing a particular key at startup or some such? | 13:56 |
| Mrokii | cfhowlett: VLC plays the mpg fine as well. | 13:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Mrokii Media > Convert | 13:58 |
| esseks | dunpeal, not really. It's just one command: ``sudo ddrescue --force /path/to/ubuntu-<something>.iso /dev/disk/by-id/usb-<some-numbers-and-letters-here>``. I would also call ``sudo sync`` after. About safe mode: not really, but you can press F2 at the purple screen to bring up the boot options screen and change some kernel parameters from the menu (nomodeset often works). But you first have to get to the purple screen. Otherwise, it's not likely a Ubu | 13:59 |
| esseks | ntu problem, it's you PC that cannot boot the USB key. | 13:59 |
| dunpeal | esseks: yup, I know the purple screen you speak of. I don't even get there currently. | 14:00 |
| Mrokii | MonkeyDust: Convert to what? | 14:00 |
| esseks | dunpeal: alternatively, you could test the USB key on another machine and see if it works... if it does, then double check that the "bad" PC can actually boot from USB. Very old machines might need a real CD. | 14:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Mrokii the format you want, even try mpg to mpg, maybe it repairs a corrupted file ... copy your file first, to some safe place | 14:01 |

| akis | hi all. in my desktop system where i installed xubuntu 14.04 (clean installation) was installed by default Xorg "nouveau driver" but although it works very fast it pixelized for seconds the screen after user's login. So i installed 173 from the alternative drivers list because with this the system run smoothly under 12.04. Unfortunately i realized that now (under 14.04) 173 works very slow and for example FireFox is very slow if i move up and d | 14:49 |
| akis | own a visited page. Also there is a big lag every time i click on the xubuntu logo icon to open whisky menu. So i turned back to "nouveau driver" which now (after i installed-deactivate 173) stopped to pixelize the screen after log-in but it shows a light blue lane while the system boots after the "xubuntu screen" and just before log-in screen. Do i have to unistall 173 (http://www.installion.co.uk/ubuntu/precise/restricted/n/nvidia-173/en/unins | 14:49 |
| akis | tall/index.html) or it is better to leave it like this? Is there any way to make 'nouveau driver' to stop show this 'blue lane'? Or is there any way to make 173 run faster maybe with a setup of nVidia X configuration settings? | 14:49 |

| acidrain_ | esseks: it doesnt bother me. its just an editor that has a nice syntax highlighting and autocomplete | 15:22 |
| acidrain_ | thats all that matters to me | 15:22 |
| acidrain_ | got tired of using notepad | 15:22 |
| acidrain_ | i figured since its about to be 2015 i should upgrade from the 1995 applications | 15:22 |
| _unreal_ | ok, I dont know anything about vino | 15:23 |
| _unreal_ | OerHeks, is that consol only?" | 15:24 |
| acidrain_ | OerHeks: wait. you know you can setup a password on teamviewer right? | 15:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | _unreal_: I think it's a vino/vinegar combo, and it's remote desktop/vnc | 15:24 |
| _unreal_ | ok?? | 15:24 |
| acidrain_ | OerHeks: once you do that, you cant use the 4 digit pin anymore | 15:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | if you want console only, then ssh is fine | 15:24 |
| _unreal_ | i'm kind of clueless here | 15:25 |
| _unreal_ | i want remote desktop. | 15:25 |
| esseks | acidrain_, then copy the file to your home and edit locally. Although, I frankly doubt autocompletion is of any use for the majority of system files you might want to edit... | 15:25 |
| OerHeks | _unreal_, no. so you didn't check the program? | 15:25 |
| _unreal_ | thats all I want to do is use this laptop I'm on and access my media server tower via remote desktop | 15:25 |
| _unreal_ | is that a console only program? | 15:25 |
| OerHeks | _unreal_, i am not going to repeat, sorry | 15:26 |
| acidrain_ | esseks: i will be editing /var/www/ | 15:26 |
| _unreal_ | all I see is vino-passwd and vino-preferences | 15:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | try vino-preferences | 15:26 |
| _unreal_ | it doesnt do anything just sits there | 15:26 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ have you tried remmina? | 15:26 |
| _unreal_ | last time I KNOW NOTHING about vnc/rdp, this is new ground first time. I have never heard of any of these programs | 15:27 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ install and try remmina | 15:27 |
| _unreal_ | is that a server? | 15:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | _unreal_: programs like teamviewer and vino are a vnc, so it's a matter of which you want to choose. | 15:28 |
| _unreal_ | vinegar is not installed | 15:28 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ no, it's program for remote access/control | 15:28 |
| _unreal_ | ? how many times to I need to state I need a server | 15:28 |
| _unreal_ | server | 15:28 |
| _unreal_ | I need to setup a server on the 14.04 lts, with xfce | 15:29 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ like digital ocean, then | 15:29 |
| MonkeyDust | ? | 15:29 |
| _unreal_ | digital ocean I have no idea what that means | 15:29 |
| OerHeks | vino server/service is installed, you connect to that tru your browser + ip | 15:29 |
| esseks | acidrain_, and you need root for that? Just add yourself to the www-group and/or set the right permission on those files. If you are developing a web app/site, then update the whole workflow to 2015: start a local dev server in the project directory. We did things right in /var/www in 1995 :) | 15:29 |

| erikk | approx 40% | 15:32 |
| esseks | erikk maybe the volume control is a bit too coarse. What soundcard are you using? | 15:32 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ is it a VPS you're looking for, Virtual Private Server? | 15:33 |
| acidrain_ | esseks: lol | 15:33 |
| _unreal_ | MonkeyDust, I just want to remote desktop into my media server | 15:33 |
| esseks | _unreal_, are you sure your media server has a GUI? What device are we talking about? | 15:34 |
| MonkeyDust | _unreal_ so you have a server, right? use remmina, to gain access | 15:34 |
| erikk | esseks: It says Audio device: AMD, Inc Trinity HDMI Audio Controller and Audio Device: AMD, Inc FCH USB XHCI Controller | 15:35 |
| erikk | Perhaps I need to install something for them? | 15:35 |
| erikk | It says "kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel" for both of them | 15:35 |

| SNAFUdowser | veryhappy: I was saying that that link may answer your question on removing packages with apt-get. | 16:37 |

(And this is why I don't recommend wubi installs.) Now I understand that there is some way to convert wubi to a real install, but I don't know about it. Maybe someone else does.... | 16:41 |

| eeee | usr13: it's for windows, to compile linux programs on it | 16:46 |
| usr13 | jhutchins: Good point. | 16:46 |
| jhutchins | cygwin is a suite of linux programs that run under windows. | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | I'd sooner dualboot which I do now...vms don't cut it for me either | 16:46 |
| usr13 | VM is the only solution that makes any sense to me, (but when the host is MS Windows, it seems just upside down...) | 16:47 |
| SNAFUdowser | OK so I'm guessing no one has very good advice for solving a blackscreen on installing Ubuntu besides nomodeset/disconnecting GPU? I guess I'll wait a few more minutes and then start guessing. | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, yup | 16:47 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: can you boot into text mode? | 16:47 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: Dual boot is ok, but a waste of space, (because what normally happens is that the Ubuntu user rarely boots back to MS Windows. | 16:48 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee, I'd love to. I didn't know that was a thing. I'll try that out. | 16:48 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: do you know how? | 16:48 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: ... he soon finds little need for the other OS). | 16:49 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee, I was going to look it up but I'm happy to have you tell me if you want! :) lol | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | SNAFUdowser, ctl+alt+F1 to F6 , login and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:49 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: ... at least, that has been my experience. | 16:49 |
| SNAFUdowser | BluesKaj: What's good about running apt-get update && upgrade on a bootable USB? Or is that just needed for logging into text mode or something? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, yeah, I login to windows once every few days , but I keep it around for wifey sake since I need to keep up so that her windows install is familiar to me :) | 16:51 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: try accessing tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1, first, if that doesn't work, hold shift while your computer boots so the grub menu appears, then press e to edit the ubuntu entry, in the line that says Linux /boot/vmlinuz... quiet splash, add text to the end of it then press ctrl+x to execute | 16:51 |
| _unreal_ | any one played with virtualGL on VNC? | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | SNAFUdowser, sorry didn't see your original question ...thought you were talking about an install not live media | 16:52 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: Cool I'll try it out thanks! | 16:52 |
| SNAFUdowser | BluesKaj: Ah cool np | 16:52 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: you should do this on your installation SNAFUdowser not a live usb | 16:52 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Hello! | 16:53 |
| hermy0123 | Wherein the world am I now? | 16:53 |
| samthewildone | This is starting to piss me off... really | 16:53 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: Oh, so then how can I get it installed if I'm getting a black screen on installation? Is there a text mode on the installer which would let me install and then follow those steps? | 16:53 |
| OC39648 | I need help | 16:53 |
| samthewildone | I just reinstalled ubuntu this morning and I still get random crashes. | 16:53 |
| eeee | hermy0123: you know the scene in men in black 2, where he opens the locker and you see tiny men? we're like those men in your ubuntu | 16:53 |
| samthewildone | Now I get nautilus crashing for doing nothing. | 16:53 |
| * OC39648 is attempting to boot a linux distro off a USB drive. | 16:53 | |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: My wife is a Ubuntu user. | 16:54 |
| samthewildone | I did a fresh install with crypto5 | 16:54 |
| OC39648 | My Problem: USB is not listed in boot menu. | 16:54 |
| jcool | windows boots to purple screen after installing ubuntu 14.04. any reason? | 16:54 |
| hermy0123 | THX eeee! Question on Ubuntu 14.04 | 16:54 |
| OC39648 | Other things: It shows up in the BIOS. I can't seem to add it, though. | 16:54 |
| jhutchins | OC39648: How did you set up the USB? | 16:54 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: ah, sorry, i thought you installed, then got a black screen on boot, my bad :) | 16:55 |
| OC39648 | UNetBootin | 16:55 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: i think the minimal cd is text based | 16:55 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: New converts are like people that don't know how to swim, but if you through them into the middle of the lake, they will usually just start to swim. | 16:55 |
| samthewildone | Question, does these bug reports go to Ubuntu ? Anytime I experience a application failure I get a detailed dialogue box but, nothing to send info to developers. | 16:55 |
| jcool | everything works except that purple screen on boot of windows. | 16:56 |
| jhutchins | OC39648: What installs do you have now? | 16:56 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee, Ah no problem >.< and OK I'll check out the minimal cd then. Let me know if you think of any other options. But thanks anyway! | 16:56 |
| OC39648 | On flashdrive or computer? | 16:56 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: ok, good luck & np | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, wife's too old to change here and she plays LOTRO so linux is kind of out of the question ...besides it's her pc , she can do what she wants with ...I'm just here to fix stuff :) | 16:56 |

| jhutchins | OC39648: I mean what did you run unetbootin from? What this probably means is that it didn't work. | 16:56 |

| OC39648 | I ran UNetBootin off a computer to install a Kali Image onto the flashdrive | 16:57 |

| hermy0123 | Is this chatrom also unde surveillance? | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | OC39648: When you put an image on a drive it overwrites the format, so that doesn't matter. Did you run unetbootin on Windows or Linux? Do you have a linux systme available? Which iso did you use? Did you verify it's checksum? | 17:00 |

| jhutchins | usr13: Yes, I know that. | 17:01 |
| usr13 | jhutchins: so there's no need for unetbootin | 17:02 |
| usr13 | ... just seems to be cleaner, neater to dd | 17:02 |

| jhutchins | usr13: It's not slower if done correctly, unetbootin just offers a handy GUI. | 17:03 |

| === Guest8023 is now known as OC39648 | ||
| pi_ | sudo sp | 17:07 |
| pi_ | sudo cp | 17:07 |
| brainproxy | that is, after running that command, gcc is still installed | 17:07 |
| jhutchins | pi_: Not relevant. | 17:08 |
| usr13 | brainproxy: Maybe you are trying to do too many things at once | 17:08 |
| usr13 | brainproxy: but gcc should be still installed | 17:08 |
| usr13 | *should* be | 17:09 |
| hermy0123 | I got a few linux distro from an individual on ebay and most of them have trouble with "synching" what's that? | 17:09 |
| adamSs | man synching | 17:09 |
| brainproxy | usr13: doesn't build-essential install it? and so wouldn't removing build-essential remove gcc? | 17:09 |
| bekks | brainproxy: of course gcc will still be installed. Remove it directly, since too much dependencies will still pull it in. | 17:10 |
| usr13 | brainproxy: gcc is installed by default. | 17:10 |
| bekks | brainproxy: This applies to "if you really want to do that". I dont see a single reason for removing gcc. | 17:10 |
| usr13 | afaik | 17:10 |
| samthewildone | to copy a text from /var/log/syslog I did this " cat /var/log/syslog -> /home/user/Desktop/text.txt" yet terminal hangs. | 17:10 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee, Hey so I'm doing the minimal install, but I want to make sure it gives me options for customizing my partitions and stuff. Where in this install will I make custom partitions? I don't wanna hit install and then it blindly overwrites one of my HDDs. | 17:10 |
| samthewildone | Is there something I'm missing ? | 17:10 |
| brainproxy | bekks: well on the system I'm starting from, it's not installed | 17:10 |
| brainproxy | so I install build-essential to pull it in | 17:10 |
| bekks | brainproxy: So whats the "system you use" then? | 17:11 |
| jhutchins | samthewildone: Patience? How long did you give it? How big is the log? | 17:11 |
| brainproxy | bekks: the ubuntu docker image | 17:12 |
| brainproxy | which is a bare bones ubuntu 14.04 | 17:12 |
| samthewildone | I canceled the first one, did another one and letting it run its course. | 17:12 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: Why are you doint that? | 17:12 |
| === OC39648_ is now known as OC39648 | ||
| eeee | samthewildone: it's something you added, it's the -> , it should be > | 17:12 |
| samthewildone | usr13, to post a help on ubuntu forum. | 17:12 |
| bekks | brainproxy: Ah I see. And why do you want to remove gcc then, after installing it? | 17:12 |
| red45923 | i moved a working ubuntu hard disk to a different laptop and it all works except there is no wifi - i am guessing it did an auto install for the original networking hardware and now cannot find it - any tips to fix this | 17:12 |
| eeee | ( or >> to append ) | 17:12 |
| samthewildone | ok | 17:12 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: So why not just pastebinit | 17:12 |
| usr13 | ? | 17:12 |
| brainproxy | bekks: because I don't need it in my derived image, after I've used it to compile some stuff | 17:12 |
| bekks | brainproxy: So uninstall it. | 17:13 |
| pussy-f | hi all | 17:13 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: What you are trying to do would be a never ending process. | 17:13 |
| pussy-f | :) | 17:13 |
| samthewildone | usr13, I am | 17:13 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: never done it before, but i think it should ask where to install, and you'd select Something else, to partition as you see fit | 17:13 |
| samthewildone | usr13, I'm just getting a documented file first. | 17:13 |
| jhutchins | eeee: Well spotted | 17:13 |
| brainproxy | bekks: yes, I agree; my point was that it seemed like if I installed indirectly (by way of build-essential), then uninstalling build-essential seems like it should take care of it | 17:13 |
| brainproxy | but it doesn't | 17:13 |
| samthewildone | looks like I'm going to have to upload the file to my google drive and link the doc from there. | 17:14 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee, Yeah I think I found a youtube video of someone going through it. It should prompt your right, but just worried if it didn't it would be so bad lol. I'll just try it out. | 17:14 |
| brainproxy | so I was wondering if I'm missing something w.r.t. uninstalling an umbrella pkg like build-essential | 17:14 |
| samthewildone | The file is too large to post on pastebin | 17:14 |
| harris | how do i fix the sudo sed 's/Icon=.*/Icon=\home/\harris\/icons\/libreoffice-writer.svg/g' -i /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop | 17:14 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: So why not just copy the file? | 17:14 |
| harris | unknown value s | 17:14 |
| jhutchins | brainproxy: build-essential may not be what installed it. | 17:14 |
| pussy-f | http://www.namerimi.org | 17:14 |
| bekks | brainproxy: So you could check whats still pulling it in. | 17:14 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: And then do what you want with it? | 17:14 |
| brainproxy | jhutchins: it most certainly is | 17:14 |
| samthewildone | usr13, I attempted that but, pastebin would not let me paste the stuff | 17:14 |
| samthewildone | usr13, smell it and rub it | 17:14 |
| jhutchins | brainproxy: It's a pretty common dependency. build-essential is a metapackage not a real package, so it doesn't behave quite the same way. | 17:15 |
| red45923 | anyone have a suggestion to fix my ubuntu wifi | 17:15 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: WHat? | 17:15 |
| brainproxy | jhutchins: okay, so is there a way for apt-get to spit out the list of the pkgs includes in a metapackage | 17:15 |
| brainproxy | *included | 17:15 |
| samthewildone | I'm going to post it in the ubuntu help forum because this is the 2nd installation of ubuntu and I still have random applications crashes... its very annoying. | 17:15 |
| usr13 | red45923: What's wrong with it? | 17:15 |
| red45923 | usr13, - like i said i moved a working ubuntu hard disk to a different laptop and it all works except there is no wifi - i am guessing it did an auto install for the original networking hardware and now cannot find it - any tips to fix this | 17:16 |
| bekks | brainproxy: a metapackage does not contain a single package. it pulls in dependencies. | 17:16 |
| samthewildone | I just reinstalled ubuntu; latest, this morning and I still get applications crashes from time to time. | 17:16 |
| brainproxy | bekks: gotcha | 17:16 |
| jhutchins | usr13: Good point usr13 - cp would make more sense. | 17:16 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: You should find the specific problem... | 17:16 |
| red45923 | so basically now thre is no wifi available - lan works, usb dongle works, no wifi though | 17:16 |
| brainproxy | bekks: is there a way to get a list of the deps it pulls in? | 17:16 |
| samthewildone | usr13, that's just the problem. | 17:16 |
| usr13 | red45923: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:17 |
| samthewildone | usr13, I get detailed dialogues but, it does not look like I can copy the dialog and post it anywhere. | 17:17 |
| samthewildone | For starters that all seem to have the same error about SIG*. | 17:17 |
| bekks | brainproxy: just take a look at the reverse dependencies of gcc: apt-cache rdepends gcc | 17:17 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: cp /var/log/syslog /home/user/Desktop/text.txt | 17:17 |
| brainproxy | bekks: thanks | 17:18 |
| samthewildone | usr13, Of course the crashes don't affect my ability to use the computer but, they are annoying when your doing some web browsing and get a error box. | 17:18 |
| usr13 | samthewildone: Oh, you are annoyed by the crash reports? | 17:18 |
| SchrodingersScat | ah, those, I get those occasionally | 17:18 |
| samthewildone | usr13, yes very annoyed. | 17:19 |
| red45923 | what does sudo apt-get upgrade do , i am running 12.04 and all is fine aside from wifi | 17:19 |
| SchrodingersScat | red45923: should upgrade packages installed via apt/synaptic/software center/etc. | 17:19 |
| samthewildone | usr13, because first of all I cannot seem to fix them. They're random and I hate random crashes. | 17:19 |
| eeee | samthewildone: sudo nano /etc/default/apport | 17:19 |
| eeee | samthewildone: set enabled to 0 | 17:19 |
| SchrodingersScat | red45923: normally a sudo apt-get update # would precede it to update your software lists | 17:19 |
| hermy0123 | Redxxx stay away from version 14.04! | 17:19 |
| jhutchins | red45923: Probably does nothing. What you actually need to do is to figure out what wifi chipset you have and what it needs to run on ubuntu. It might need firmware, which the installer wouldn't have known about because the wifi wasn't there. | 17:20 |
| samthewildone | yuk | 17:20 |
| jhutchins | red45923: dmesg will show an error trying to find the firmware in that case. | 17:20 |
| samthewildone | eeee, vim FTW | 17:20 |
| bekks | hermy0123: Why? | 17:20 |
| eeee | samthewildone: lol, ok | 17:20 |
| jhutchins | red45923: Or you can just find the chipset ID and look up what it needs. | 17:20 |
| bekks | hermy0123: Its the latest supported LTS. | 17:20 |
| samthewildone | eeee, I'm assuming that this hides those errors... | 17:20 |
| eeee | what does vim stand for again ? :P | 17:20 |
| usr13 | eeee: I think it is vi | 17:20 |
| samthewildone | Virtual Image Man | 17:20 |
| usr13 | Oh I dono | 17:21 |
| red45923 | jhutchins, yes that was my hunch too, not keen on going away from 12.04 unless i have to | 17:21 |
| eeee | samthewildone: yes | 17:21 |
| hermy0123 | It is fraught with bugs and I actually got a warning from the VA?!? | 17:21 |
| jhutchins | hermy0123: VA? | 17:21 |
| MonkeyDust | vim means "vi more" | 17:21 |
| _unreal_ | what is the best way to make a backup of my computer? | 17:21 |
| usr13 | or improved? | 17:22 |
| samthewildone | eeee, So I'm assuming that I won't get any dialogs about the crashes... | 17:22 |

| MonkeyDust | pussy did you have a support question? | 17:22 |
| eeee | usr13: actually VI iMproved, but whatever | 17:22 |
| jhutchins | red45923: lspci should show you what you're working with. lspci -nn gives you the pciid of the device which can be useful. | 17:23 |
| usr13 | eeee: Yea, I think there is only a difference because some liked the old feature set | 17:24 |
| red45923 | think i got a poss answer - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2067161 | 17:24 |
| usr13 | eeee: So if you install vi and then vim, vi just becomes a link to vim | 17:25 |
| usr13 | eeee: At least that is the way it works on most linux systems nowdays | 17:25 |
| usr13 | eeee: Used to be that they were two separate apps, not so any more... | 17:26 |

| Kireji | what writes the file /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available ? | 17:34 |
| Kireji | http://askubuntu.com/questions/49958/how-to-find-the-number-of-packages-needing-update-from-the-command-line says it is /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available but that doesn't exist on 12.04.5 | 17:35 |
| Frenzo | What is this peculiar series of events? I am very intrigued by the idea of freenode's freedom policy but this is not some Ronald Reagan fanbase where all your sins will be washed off like an american college wonder. | 17:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Frenzo wrong channel | 17:36 |
| trism | Kireji: /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available is a script that writes to that file with the output of apt-check | 17:38 |
| trism | Kireji: that is run on login by /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available | 17:38 |
| trism | Kireji: I'm not sure why it wouldn't exist on 12.04, unless you don't have update-notifier-common installed, I suppose it might have had a slightly different name back then I don't really remember | 17:39 |
| Kireji | trism: checking - thank you | 17:41 |
| Kireji | trism: wierd, somehow it was removed | 17:43 |
| SNAFUdowser | Hey how do you choose where to install the Grub Bootloader during a minimal installation? | 17:54 |
| ikonia | you don't | 17:54 |
| ikonia | by minimal do you mean the minimal iso ? | 17:54 |
| SNAFUdowser | ikonia: Yeah minimal iso | 17:55 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: that expects you to know what you are doing and configure your system appropriately | 17:55 |
| jhutchins | SNAFUdowser: MBR of the device. | 17:55 |
| SNAFUdowser | jhutchins: Perfect gotcha | 17:55 |
| SNAFUdowser | Damnit! Didn't work :'( | 17:56 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: why are you doing a minimal install ? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: what is wrong with the standard install ? | 17:56 |
| SNAFUdowser | ikonia: I'm getting a black screen on my normal install so this way I can install it without using the GPU. | 17:57 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: that is not the solution | 17:57 |
| SNAFUdowser | nomodeset didn't work | 17:57 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: there are more options than "nomodeset" | 17:57 |
| SNAFUdowser | ikonia: Like what? | 17:57 |
| ikonia | the minimal install expects a reasonable level of knowledge to know what packages do what and how to configure them | 17:58 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: you can try to force vesa, you can blacklist the noveau drivers, | 17:58 |
| ikonia | SNAFUdowser: there are other options, | 17:58 |
| y3gang | hmm | 17:59 |
| SNAFUdowser | ikonia: Cool. I was asking about this earlier on here and minimal install was the only solution I got so that's why I was doing it. I've got a GTX 760 so you think I should use force vesa, or blacklist noveau? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | no idea without doing the research and understanding your problem, but they are certainly options | 18:00 |
| SNAFUdowser | ikonia: OK.... well.... I'm not sure how to proceed seeing as I've done research and it looks to me like nomodeset and disconnecting the GPU are the main fixes. Now I can't say those are the only options but I don't know any others from doing a bunch of Google searches. So... if you want I can tell you what my issue is and you can give me pointers or... I'll continue guessing and possibly try to get the minimal install working. | 18:06 |
| SNAFUdowser | Btw I've installed arch linux before so doing the minimal install isn't so impossible for me to understand. Or maybe it is but idk what else I should do honestly. I'll keep trying! | 18:08 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: try to use nomodeset nolapic | 18:11 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: Yeah I've tried it. >.< | 18:12 |
| eeee | with nolapic as well? | 18:12 |
| SNAFUdowser | Yeah | 18:12 |
| SNAFUdowser | But it might be that I need to use the "try ubuntu without intalling it" option, which I realize I didn't use before | 18:12 |
| c_smith_ | Hey, is there any current guide to remove Unity in 14.04? | 18:13 |
| SNAFUdowser | Would that cause a problem? I didn't think it would before but I realize that is one difference between what I was doing and what they suggest to solve the problem in this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it | 18:13 |

| eeee | !notunity | c_smith_ | 18:13 |
| ubottu | c_smith_: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 18:13 |

| ashva | Hi, I've installed ubuntu 14.04 on my new lenovo x1 carbon 2014. everything is working fine but CPUs. it only recognizes 4 CPUs !!! actually I have core i7 cpu and don't know what is the reason. can somebody help me on this? | 18:15 |
| c_smith_ | eeee, I've got MATE 1.9 built and installed, (did that myself), I'm just doing some cleanup | 18:15 |
| c_smith_ | Beldar, ^ | 18:15 |
| eeee | ashva: why do you think it recognizes only 4? | 18:16 |
| Beldar | c_smith_, Not sure but isn't mate a gnome 2 or 3 fork? | 18:16 |
| Hrishi | ashva : How many does your CPU has? | 18:16 |
| eeee | i7 should have 8 i think | 18:16 |
| ashva | eeee: lscpu and htop | 18:16 |
| eeee | mine does dunno if all do | 18:16 |
| c_smith_ | Beldar, yes, Gnome 2 fork, 1.9 adds support for GTK+ 3. | 18:16 |
| c_smith_ | Beldar, think the instructions at https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/alternative would be decent? | 18:17 |
| ashva | eeee: in lscpu output => CPU(s): 4 | 18:17 |
| eeee | ashva: i see, i get 8 there | 18:17 |
| === graingert_ is now known as Guest26349 | ||
| ashva | eeee: yes but I get 4 there! | 18:18 |
| Beldar | c_smith_, unity sits on top of gnome 3 so in the end it's your plan, my self I would just leave it. | 18:19 |
| eeee | ashva: grep motherboard | /var/log/syslog | 18:19 |
| Hrishi | ashva , eeee : Checked out on the Internet. it says i7 9xx versions have 4 CPUs. | 18:20 |
| SNAFUdowser | OK so it looks like minimal install is the best option right now. So the partition configuration I want is, one sdb I want swap, and /. And then on sdc3 I want /home. I set this up in the partition manager, but then it asked me for where to put grub, should I write dev/sdb? That should be the MBR of that hdd. That should work right? | 18:21 |
| c_smith_ | Beldar, ah, alright | 18:21 |
| ashva | Hrishi: thanks for reply. actually I had windows installed before installing ubunut and over there I have 8 cores!! | 18:22 |
| eeee | ashva: anything? try cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep i7 | 18:22 |
| eeee | ashva: also the grep command | 18:22 |

| ashva | eeee: nothing | 18:25 |
| eeee | ashva: ok try grep -A20 i7 /var/log/syslog | 18:27 |
| eeee | see what's there | 18:27 |
| usr13 | SNAFUdowser: You want grub written to the drive you boot to, (sda right?), unless you want to choose from bios. | 18:27 |
| eeee | if you want to paste use pastebinit, otherwise let us know if you find something interesting | 18:28 |
| pi_ | cat syslog | grep motherboard .-) | 18:28 |
| usr13 | SNAFUdowser: So if you choose sda, you automatically get the option of which OS to boot each time your PC starts up. | 18:28 |
| SNAFUdowser | usr13: Well I think I'll boot from sdb normally because I have another bootloader installed on sda for OSx/windows. I'm just going to make the boot order sdb first. But yeah that's basically it. | 18:29 |
| usr13 | pi_: grep motherboard syslog ? | 18:30 |

| phunyguy | does anyone have a working ubuntu 14.04 autologin with immediate screenlock? If so... HOW? | 18:40 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: Woot! OK! Life is good! I got it installed!!! However, now I still have the black screen problem. But this time I can actually install drivers to fix it! So I should follow those steps that you outlined before right? For fixing black screen on bootup | 18:41 |

| aoxi | hi there. within the last three days ive noticed different behavior when my session is inactive for the defined amount of time. xscreensaver and the power manager settings are set to only put display to sleep and not lock the session. yet now, the session is getting locked. | 18:54 |
| aoxi | i looked through recently updated packages but dont see anything relevant to report a bug to. i thought maybe systemd/pam stuff but after persuing the bug fixes related to the update, they didnt seem relevant, and to be honest, i dont know enough about their interaction with xscreensaver to know for sure that might be the packages at fault | 18:55 |
| jrcharney | usr13: I have it open now. Airplane Mode is off. Wireless is selected. My home wireless network is listed but its status is "Out of range". I click on the orange ">" it syas it is unmangaged. Only the Hardware Address is listed. | 18:55 |
| aoxi | so i am wondering, if anyone else has had this issue, if there are any known bug reports for it, or if someone could point me in the right direction as to filing a bug report for the most likely package responsible for this unintended behavioral change | 18:55 |
| jrcharney | I've now clicked on the "Settings..." button | 18:56 |
| ashva | eeee, usr13, thank you very much for you time. you both are right. I only have 4 core sof CPU | 18:57 |
| jrcharney | I'm browsing though all the tabs "General, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Security, IPv4 Settings, IPv6 Settings". Everything looks normal | 18:57 |

| jrcharney | usr13: I tried adding an http:// to the begining of the IP address and got "ping: unknown host http://192.168.1.254" methinks, the version without the http:// part is more correct | 19:04 |

| SNAFUdowser | Hey how can I disable the current graphics drivers that are installed, and then install the correct drivers for my nvidia graphics card? (in the terminal) I was following this tutorial: http://www.binarytides.com/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-14-04/ but I think I messed something up while doing it because next time I tried to boot it would hang on the start screen with just a cursor. Thxxx | 19:50 |
| grobe0ba | jrcharney, check /var/log/messages | 19:50 |
| grobe0ba | might be something in there | 19:50 |
| _unreal_ | any one ever tried to install a drawing tablet? I got one of these bamboo tablets and I cant get it to work | 19:50 |
| grobe0ba | also, try restarting networkmanager | 19:50 |
| grobe0ba | that might bring it back to life | 19:51 |
| jrcharney | /var/log/messages does not exist | 19:51 |
| eeee | jrcharney: i think grobe0ba means /var/log/syslog, and sudo service network-manager restart , is the command he's referring to | 19:51 |
| grobe0ba | when the hell did they change it away from messages? | 19:51 |
| grobe0ba | bloody stupid. | 19:52 |
| jrcharney | sudo: services: command not found | 19:54 |
| jrcharney | There is no service called network-manager | 19:54 |
| jrcharney | There is no service called networkmanager either | 19:54 |
| grobe0ba | yeah, the command is 'service' | 19:55 |
| grobe0ba | no s | 19:55 |
| eeee | ^^ | 19:55 |
| grobe0ba | try initctl list | grep net | 19:55 |
| sapik | NetworkManager | 19:55 |
| grobe0ba | ^ what sapik said, then | 19:55 |
| grobe0ba | sudo service NetworkManager restart | 19:56 |
| eeee | no, it's network-manager | 19:56 |
| grobe0ba | somebody check bloody check initctl | 19:56 |
| grobe0ba | i don't have anything to check on | 19:56 |
| MonkeyDust | grobe0ba drop the word bloody please | 19:57 |
| jrcharney | network0manager stop/wating | 19:57 |
| grobe0ba | jrcharney, you did service restart? | 19:58 |
| eeee | i think that's the initctl list | 19:58 |
| grobe0ba | MonkeyDust, just ban me. it's simpler like that. | 19:58 |
| eeee | jrcharney: well, that's your issue, sudo service network-manager start | 19:58 |
| grobe0ba | eeee, could be, but service will do that to sometimes | 19:58 |
| michal__ | hello | 19:58 |
| ampy | yoooo | 19:58 |
| jrcharney | network-manager start/running, process 29639 | 19:59 |
| jrcharney | wifi is still not working | 19:59 |
| jrcharney | I could do the same thing for bluetooth and get the same results. No working. | 19:59 |
| jrcharney | `initctl list | grep net` returns nothing | 19:59 |
| ampy | So I don't know what happened, but I was messing around with groups and I ended up making it so that I'm not in the sudoers file | 19:59 |
| grobe0ba | jrcharney, yeah, i shoudlve said grep -i | 19:59 |
| ampy | and now I can't fix anything because i don't have permissions | 19:59 |
| grobe0ba | but don't worry about it | 19:59 |
| grobe0ba | it is irrelephant now | 19:59 |
| ampy | what do? | 19:59 |
| eeee | ampy: grub > recovery | 20:00 |
| jrcharney | lag finally let up on the IRC | 20:00 |
| atlasloewenherz | this is a new installation of 14.04 server edition and the first thing i'm facing is dependencies conflicts that have there root in multi arch support apt-cache show libc-bin => https://gist.github.com/atlasloewenherz/5f4d554e675cb1c72b47 | 20:00 |
| jrcharney | `initctl list | grep -i net` returns nothing | 20:00 |
| atlasloewenherz | it seems that the multi arch support is broken | 20:00 |
| ampy | eeee thanks | 20:01 |
| grobe0ba | jrcharney, weird. oh well. it still doesn't matter | 20:01 |
| eeee | ampy: np | 20:01 |
| grobe0ba | so, network-manager is running | 20:01 |
| grobe0ba | no networks listed in the gui? | 20:01 |
| jrcharney | grobe0ba: no. it's just as broke as ever | 20:01 |
| grobe0ba | hmmm | 20:01 |
| eeee | ampy: you'll need to drop to a root shell, if that doesn't work add init=/bin/bash to your grub cmdline and execute it, undo the changes | 20:02 |
| grobe0ba | did you check /var/log/syslog? | 20:02 |
| grobe0ba | there might be something useful in there | 20:02 |
| jrcharney | wlan0 is there, but no one is home | 20:02 |
| grobe0ba | is that what the log says? | 20:02 |
| jrcharney | A whole bunch of stuff, but I can't copy it to this computer that I'm typing on. (The problem is on my desktop btw) | 20:04 |
| grobe0ba | do you have no way of using ethernet? | 20:05 |
| grobe0ba | 'cause that's basically the stuff we need to see to try to figure this out | 20:05 |
| grobe0ba | well, probably, maybe has something, at lesat | 20:05 |
| jrcharney | ethernet is all the way on the other side of the house. | 20:07 |
| grobe0ba | there's nothing else i can do at this point then. | 20:07 |
| * grobe0ba goes to dinner | 20:08 | |
| eeee | jrcharney: try gksu gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config | 20:10 |

| eeee | save exit, reboot, then try to suspend and resume, see if the wifi works again | 20:11 |
| jrcharney | /etc/pm/config.d/config does not exist | 20:12 |
| eeee | yes, it'll be created | 20:12 |
| jrcharney | This /msg usr13 Don't leave me hanging | 20:19 |

| eeee | pagios: do you need it to run as root? | 20:20 |
| pagios | eeee: yea | 20:21 |
| jrcharney | Other than that rebooting the computer never the solution for a problem that keeps happening after rebooting/sleeping/waking up, no | 20:21 |
| eeee | why is rc.local no good | 20:21 |
| pagios | eeee: the command doesnt work fine duno ifconfig fdoesnt show it | 20:21 |
| pagios | if i run the command manually at console it works | 20:21 |
| eeee | jrcharney: i get it, you are against reboots :) | 20:21 |
| Muchachao | who owns a thinkpad x120e? | 20:22 |

| SNAFUdowser | Hey guys how can I propperly install nvidia graphics drivers? Is there anything special I need to do to disable the graphics drivers included in the base install? | 20:22 |
| eeee | so you tried to suspend and resume and it still doesn't work right? | 20:22 |
| jrcharney | I still have two other problems involving broken services that not even chucking the computer out the window would resolve | 20:23 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: are you in the gui? | 20:23 |
| eeee | jrcharney: type rfkill list all | 20:23 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: No I'm booting with nomodeset after installing it (as you instructed) with the minimal install. | 20:23 |

| BluesKaj | SNAFUdowser, the recommended nvidia driver for your gpu is the 331, if that driver balks at the lightdm login as it has for some then try the nvidia-331-updates driver..it works on most nvidia gpus IME | 20:29 |
| SNAFUdowser | BluesKaj: Awesome so I just do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 and then reboot and everything should work out just fine? | 20:30 |
| jrcharney | And suddently, networking works again. Problem #3 resolved | 20:31 |
| SNAFUdowser | (besides that one issue you mentioned) | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | SNAFUdowser, yes | 20:31 |
| === boy_wanders is now known as Jake | ||

| CodeGosu | gimp takes seconds to launch on my pc, and doing some stuff isnt exeactly fast, what are some light sketching programs on linux that i can fire immidietly and have enviroment immidietly without chosing any settings | 20:33 |
| jrcharney | skas, where is the Hackathon happening today? | 20:33 |
| _unreal_ | CodeGosu, ? what are you trying to do? gimp is not slow unless your computer is low on memory or old or both | 20:35 |
| _unreal_ | or if your opening huge raster images with multi layers. that can chew resources on even the fastest systems | 20:36 |
| bekks | CodeGosu: Gimp loads a lot of files at startup, like pencils, and so on - so thats no indicator of gimp being "fast" or "slow". You dont restart gimp upon every step in your workflow. | 20:37 |
| SNAFUdowser | Anyone have any idea why after installing my graphics drivers when I boot into linux it hangs with just a cursor on the screen? No logo pops up its just a cursor. | 20:39 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: can you get into a tty ? | 20:40 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: what's a tty? How can I get in? Sorry not familiar | 20:41 |
| eeee | ctrl+alt+f1 | 20:41 |
| Kireji | does net.inet.ip.fastforwarding = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf on 14.04.1 do anything? | 20:41 |
| SNAFUdowser | I'll try | 20:41 |
| SNAFUdowser | That's on grub or with the cursor? ctrl+alt+f1 | 20:41 |
| eeee | cursor | 20:42 |
| bekks | Kireji: Did you check wether the kernel in 14.04.1 supports that option? | 20:42 |
| okt | I'm running Xubuntu 14.04, in the NetworrManager applet's dropdown "Edit" is greyed out. How can I edit my connections? | 20:42 |

| SNAFUdowser | ctrl+alt+delete works though! lol | 20:42 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: when you used nomodeset what happened earlier ? | 20:42 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: what does it do? | 20:42 |
| eeee | reboot? | 20:42 |
| SNAFUdowser | Lemme see, i think it was just the cursor (last time I tried that) but I'll try again to be sure | 20:43 |

| eeee | SNAFUdowser: try to boot into text mode | 20:50 |
| eeee | then install the xorg drivers | 20:50 |
| richac | so I can't believe how easy apparmor was to install | 20:50 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: Is booting into textmode the same as booting with nomodeset? | 20:51 |
| eeee | no, add text instead of nomodeset | 20:51 |
| SNAFUdowser | Awesome thanks :D | 20:51 |
| NeedSomeHelp | eeee: working, thanks | 20:53 |
| eeee | NeedSomeHelp: great, np | 20:53 |
| SNAFUdowser | eeee: so adding "text" where I used to put "nomodeset" is not working and just booting into the cursor again. Is there something else i should do or should I reinstall and that time install xorg drivers or something? I can reinstall in like 10 mins lol | 20:55 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: try grub > recovery > start networking > drop to root shell | 20:57 |

| SNAFUdowser | There are a bunch of entries liek that btw | 21:06 |
| eeee | SNAFUdowser: try to press enter and stuff, who knows | 21:08 |
| SNAFUdowser | damn nothing works. Should I reinstall and try an opensource graphics driver or something? | 21:08 |
| SNAFUdowser | (btw my graphics card works, it's just fine in windows and osx) | 21:08 |
| ktosiek | ugh, maybe now someone knows: what might cause ~3-4s sound latency when using Bluetooth headset? | 21:10 |
| usr13 | SNAFUdowser: If it is just a graphics driver you should not have to re-install, just install graphics driver. | 21:10 |
| usr13 | SNAFUdowser: Ctrl-Alt-F6 and login | 21:10 |
| ktosiek | (and BTW is the Apple's headset battery status indication supported? Or do we have to wait for bluez 5 for this?) | 21:11 |

| LuchaLibre | zerothis: I would help you but it's kind of out of my range of expertise. Try making a forum thread on the Ubuntu Forums | 22:22 |
| usr13 | zerothis: Did you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key ? | 22:22 |
| zerothis | usr13: yes | 22:23 |
| usr13 | zerothis: So tell me more.... | 22:23 |
| usr13 | zerothis: (Not much to go on yet...) | 22:24 |
| usr13 | zerothis: *(need to know what is broken before we can figure out how to fix it.) | 22:24 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: maybe the disk he's using is corrupted? | 22:25 |
| usr13 | LuchaLibre: Possibly. | 22:26 |
| LuchaLibre | zerothis: when you boot into the Live CD are you able to reach the menu? | 22:26 |
| usr13 | !fsck | zerothis | 22:26 |
| ubottu | zerothis: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:26 |
| usr13 | LuchaLibre: but we are only speculating as we know precious little about zerothis' computer and what has been done to it. | 22:27 |
| zerothis | yes, live CD menu works. Trying to try or install does not. screen flashes errors to quickly, "ALI15X3" is the only bit I can recall. "ALI15X3" appears multiple times in multiple lines of errors | 22:27 |
| LuchaLibre | zerothis: is there a check cd for errors option in the menu? | 22:28 |
| zerothis | I checked the CD, drives, and memory for errors, no errors reported | 22:28 |
| usr13 | zerothis: Did you run a checksum on the ISO? | 22:28 |
| usr13 | md5sum | zerothis | 22:28 |
| usr13 | !md5sum | zerothis | 22:28 |
| ubottu | zerothis: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:28 |
| zerothis | checksum checks out ok | 22:28 |
| usr13 | zerothis: And the burn process completed without errors? | 22:29 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: This might be it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=247099 | 22:29 |
| zerothis | yes, burned correctly, hence the correct MD5 | 22:30 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: Also according to this it might be faulty hardware | 22:30 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749991 | 22:30 |
| usr13 | LuchaLibre: That's what I was about to say... sounds like a hardware issue, zerothis | 22:31 |
| LuchaLibre | zerothis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749991 | 22:31 |
| intx | d | 22:32 |
| zerothis | yes, I've had some videocards give me similar issues in the past. But only after I successfully installed Linux | 22:32 |
| usr13 | LuchaLibre: zerothis ... but again, we know precious little about the PC and what has been done to it so.... | 22:32 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: Yes, we're pulling at straws here | 22:32 |
| usr13 | zerothis: Could you clarify what that last statement? | 22:33 |
| usr13 | zerothis: Let's start over; What exactly happens when you boot the system? (What do you see on the screen in the end?) Is it just a black screen? | 22:34 |
| usr13 | zerothis: If so: | 22:34 |
| zerothis | past issues, after successful installing xubuntu, lubuntu, and debian, I've had the computer reboot and show a blank screen when the display manager should appear | 22:35 |
| usr13 | !nomodeset | zerothis | 22:35 |
| ubottu | zerothis: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:35 |
| usr13 | zerothis: What video chip is in it now? | 22:35 |
| OerHeks | usr13, he has an laptop with Ali/Trident chipset | 22:36 |
| CodeGosu | is there a way i can make virtual microphone that plays mp3? | 22:36 |
| usr13 | I dono... | 22:37 |
| OerHeks | CodeGosu, microphones are used to record, not to play | 22:37 |
| usr13 | CodeGosu: You can do virtually anything with a virtual microphone. | 22:37 |
| CodeGosu | im only in chrome atm | 22:38 |
| CodeGosu | sorry wrong window | 22:38 |
| zerothis | nomodeset sounds promising, I'll investigate that. I'm not sure of the chip. It's got that awful shared video memory 'feature' so I'm guessing it's that old intel 900 or 800 series. But, I thought intell issues were fixed in ubuntu several releases ago. I've successfully installed quantal on systems with these cards without issues | 22:38 |
| usr13 | CodeGosu: I should warn you that my last comment was purely humor. | 22:39 |
| zerothis | OerHeks: ALI/Trident, thanks (didn't know they were still arround after the 199s) | 22:39 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: A jolly good fellow | 22:39 |
| usr13 | Yea, that's me... | 22:39 |
| LuchaLibre | usr13: Let's hope nomodeset helps zero | 22:40 |
| LuchaLibre | I'll be back in a while, since all seems to be well | 22:41 |
| zerothis | nomodeset (apparently) failed. | 22:41 |
| LuchaLibre | oh | 22:41 |
| LuchaLibre | that is not good | 22:41 |
| LuchaLibre | Maybe there is something wrong with the hardware..? | 22:42 |
| zerothis | AH! HA! "forcevesa" typed in the same place instead of nomodeset seems to be working! | 22:42 |
| ObrienDave | well, that's a new one :) | 22:42 |
| LuchaLibre | zerothis: Congrats. Like I said, not my area XD | 22:42 |
| LuchaLibre | Take care folks! | 22:43 |

| duckfarts | my computer wont boot from harddrive | 23:43 |
| duckfarts | it just runs the memtest | 23:43 |
| _unreal_ | ? | 23:43 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 23:44 |
| _unreal_ | will it access a hard drive? | 23:44 |
| eeee | duckfarts: you could chroot into it and install | 23:44 |
| duckfarts | im running 14.04 lts from usb at the moment | 23:44 |
| duckfarts | it looks like the boot partition got almost completely wiped | 23:45 |
| duckfarts | but I still have all my files and shit on the main partition | 23:45 |
| eeee | duckfarts: try to chroot | 23:46 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: So you have a partition for /boot and what others? | 23:46 |
| duckfarts | eeee i don't know what chroot is | 23:46 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: What partitions do you have? | 23:47 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: df | 23:47 |
| eeee | that'll show mounted partitions | 23:47 |
| eeee | ( of the live usb ) | 23:47 |
| usr13 | !paste | duckfarts | 23:48 |

| eeee | duckfarts: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 23:48 |
| === derkopf is now known as derk0pf|NA | ||
| eeee | duckfarts: sudo parted -l | pastebinit | 23:48 |
| Valarkin_ | ok, still not gone to bed. I thought I would recreate the fs. I unmounted it, ran "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/fileserver/share" and remounted it. I tried to create home but it said it existed. I went there and all the user dirs are back. | 23:50 |
| richac | is there a way to only log certain ip's with ufw? | 23:51 |
| duckfarts | I installed the pastebinit thing | 23:51 |
| eeee | duckfarts: ok, run the second command | 23:51 |
| duckfarts | usr13 i have a boot partition that is only 255 mb and then a much larger one with my files | 23:51 |
| usr13 | Valarkin_: mkfs should have wiped everything out. | 23:51 |
| Valarkin_ | user13: that's what I thought. | 23:51 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: That is good information but not specific enough. | 23:51 |
| Valarkin_ | I was shocked tbh. Rebooting now . | 23:52 |
| duckfarts | I ran the second one a while ago and nothing has happened yet | 23:52 |
| eeee | duckfarts: it should return a link to paste.ubuntu.com | 23:52 |
| duckfarts | it didnt | 23:52 |
| eeee | if you run sudo parted -l , what happens? | 23:52 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: sudo fdisk -l > info.text;cat /etc/fstab >>info.text;sudo blkid >>info.text;pastebinit info.text #Send resulting URL | 23:53 |
| duckfarts | i see my partitions | 23:53 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: Yea, but we don't | 23:53 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: If you chroot to your root partition and install a kernel you should be good to go. | 23:54 |
| eeee | duckfarts: can you paste them in the link usr13 referred you to earlier? | 23:54 |
| delinquentme | where do I place an alias so that anyone logging into a machine has access to it ? | 23:54 |
| === derk0pf|NA is now known as derkopf | ||
| eeee | delinquentme: /etc/bash.bashrc i guess | 23:54 |
| delinquentme | and can use it in their current bash session? | 23:54 |
| MrElendig | delinquentme: don't | 23:54 |
| MrElendig | delinquentme: use a script instead | 23:54 |
| MrElendig | well, unless you are masking something | 23:55 |
| MrElendig | in that case /etc/skel/.bashrc | 23:55 |
| MrElendig | and then let the user grab it if they want it | 23:55 |
| MrElendig | aliases in /etc/bash.bashrc is evil | 23:56 |
| duckfarts | here i uploaded it to imgur http://i.imgur.com/hd2jmlL.png | 23:56 |
| duckfarts | i don't know how to use the chroot command | 23:56 |
| duckfarts | In my boot partition I still have the grub file but no kernels | 23:57 |
| usr13 | duckfarts: pastebinit /etc/fstab #Send URL | 23:58 |
| eeee | MrElendig: yeah, thought there might be a better way | 23:58 |
