[00:00] hello [00:00] hello [00:00] I know I know, I'm using it too (and was using Bumblebee before) [00:00] fine and you [00:01] Faerie, whats the question ? [00:01] you have skype pleas [00:01] Hey everyone I have an installation question if someone can help out it would be appreciated [00:02] Jay_, just ask ^^ [00:04] Installation type: I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 and I am at the point where it is asking me to choose a hdd what size partition and mount point do I needmuse [00:04] question was, is an automatic change of the graphic card in use currently in development, or anything ? I had a friend that was quite upset about being forced to quit his session and launch it again every time he needed to change the card in use, and so I was searching if something is planned, cause i havent read about it. [00:04] Need/use* [00:05] Jay_, ok what is the problem [00:06] It keeps telling me no root file system is defined [00:06] Jay_, and have to set a root partition [00:07] Do I want the root files on a small partition or the large partition [00:08] mJayk: Go back to 1st partition screen, select change, in the 'use qs' filed type / . [00:08] as* [00:08] Bashing-om, sorry what [00:09] field* [00:10] yeah.. what you have to do is tell the system where root (/) is to be installed. in that 1st screen selct the option 'change" . tbc [00:10] On the large portion of the partition or small [00:11] Jay_: you need around 14-20GB for a well sized root [00:11] Jay_, the root partition is where the opperating system and alot of the programs / deps will live so you need it to be big enough to hold allt them [00:12] So 50gb then what (ext4, ext3, fat 32?? [00:12] ext4 [00:12] ext4 Jay_ is standard [00:13] why not let Ubuntu partition every thing? [00:13] +1 compdoc === Senj_ is now known as Senji [00:13] Didnt know that was an iotiin [00:14] compdoc : cause you sometimes want to have /usr and /home on other partitions than / [00:14] compdoc : easier to change distribution this way, or to keep files [00:14] compdoc : and loads of other reasons, like size of partitions, etc. [00:15] So it would be better to let the system do all the partitioning [00:15] yes [00:16] Jay_ : not better. Easier [00:16] Is there a way to find out why a package was deleted? [00:16] Jay_, its just easier but not necesary the best if you want to change distro every time [00:16] Just use the full hdd as root? [00:16] maurer: deleted from the repositories? yes. which package? [00:16] I'm trying to package new software, and it depends on libcore-ocaml-dev, but https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/libcore-ocaml-dev/107.01-5build1 indicates the only revision was deleted [00:16] rww: libcore-ocaml-dev [00:16] Jay_, if you are still on the gui you can click back and make ubuntu install it self along windows [00:17] I have a locked up hdd I am trying to reformat [00:17] maurer: it failed to build from source. I think it's back in utopic (the upcoming release), though. [00:18] It has put a password on it and I can't get past it so I figures new os would fix it [00:18] :/ I need it for a package in like, a day. [00:18] I guess I have to repackage that too [00:18] * maurer grumbles [00:18] yep [00:18] I'm kind of surprised they'd do an ocaml transition that broke libcore [00:18] it's basically the only functioning ocaml standard library [00:19] I am running 2 hdd one has Windows and the other has old Ubuntu [00:20] Jay_ : you want to use the HDD only for the OS, or to store files too ? [00:20] Both [00:21] I can't get past the mounting point part [00:21] Jay_ : you're using GUI installator ? [00:23] I burned the it's off Ubuntu website booting off disc [00:23] Iso* [00:23] What channel should I join if I'm a noob and need some help installing Linux? [00:24] Jay_ : go back a few screens [00:24] K [00:24] you must have an option "use a full disk" or smthing like this [00:24] misterTom, what is the problem? already burned the iso and boot up? [00:24] i'm trying to add-apt-repository yannubuntu/boot-repair [00:24] select the HDD, and then let ubuntu do all the work [00:25] cannot add PPA: check that the PPA name or format is correct [00:25] I have dual hdd [00:25] I have to pick which hdd [00:25] blackangelpr It's fairly specific. I am trying to install some distro to an SD card to run it off a Chromebook. [00:25] ^^^^ I also have no idea what I am talking about. [00:25] Jay_ : yes. [00:25] Day 0 n00b here. [00:26] misterTom, http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-run-both-chrome-os-and-ubuntu-on-a-chromebook/ [00:26] misterTom, that should help you step by step [00:27] blackangelpr This is good and all but it doesn't specify how to run it off an SD card. [00:27] it tells me install alongside erase disk and install or something else [00:27] blackangelpr, http://tomwwolf.com/chromebook-14-compedium/chromebook-crouton-cookbook/ [00:28] I chose something else [00:28] ok [00:28] I've followed most of the instructions above but I believe I am being messed up by not being able to properly format the SD card. [00:28] when you choose this smthing else, you should be able to choose between the two hdd [00:28] I tried formatting it in Windows but I don't have access to ext2 [00:29] Yes [00:29] do as others said before, select "use as /" [00:29] on the good hdd [00:30] when I choose the hdd I want it tells me no root file system is defined [00:31] the hdd I want to use is already partitioned do I undo the partition? [00:32] misterTom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning [00:32] do you want to keep the datas it's got ? [00:32] blackangelpr, thanks for all the help! I'll go try this and get back to you with the results. [00:33] No [00:33] blackangelpr, you're a hero. [00:33] misterTom, good luck :) [00:33] Jay_, I think you need to click the change button and select "/" and the file system ext4 [00:34] Do that to the larger part of the partition or the smaller? [00:34] Jay_ : then format all partitions on the HDD, and create new partitions. [00:35] Jay_, The one you want root file system on. [00:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation [00:35] see the step 5 on the "blank disk" part ? [00:35] What would be better smaller root or larger I got a tb [00:36] I haven't got to step 5 stuck on 4 [00:37] and now I think my machine just froze [00:37] spinning dial of death [00:37] Jay_ : format all partitions. [00:37] The /home would usually be larger if you make a /home. But you don't have to. All you must have is a root "/" [00:37] on the HDD [00:38] OK cool and make it a ext4? [00:38] Yes [00:39] is it possible to dd a entire operating system and then installing it on another drive? [00:39] some know how to make an iso from a file ?? [00:41] samuel_, http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-ISO-Image-from-a-Folder-in-Ubuntu [00:41] Had to reboot give me a min [00:42] Jay_: you format all. Create a new partition like in step 5, and everything will be ok ;) [00:43] Thank you [00:43] hey ubuntu fans [00:43] hi there pytu [00:44] hey [00:45] what is the command to show which buttons are being pressed [00:45] after so long try of different distro, i finally came back to ubuntu world [00:46] blackangelpr, I tried “sudo mkdir /media/removable/chrome-32/chroots” but I get that "mkrdir: cannot create directory [...] No such file or directory [00:46] what would the best method of syncing user and group ids across several VMs be? [00:46] Basketball, xev [00:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMXj4upRDlY [00:47] blackangelpr, I renamed the new partition to the same name as the instructions found here: http://tomwwolf.com/chromebook-14-compedium/chromebook-crouton-cookbook/ [00:47] hhmmm, how do i run it [00:47] Basketball: xinput ?? [00:48] I'm in thank you very much [00:48] Jay_ : it worked ? [00:48] Yes it did finishing install and updates now [00:48] misterTom, when you type : cd /media/removable [00:48] then ls [00:48] blackangelpr, I'm going to try and reformat the SD card one more time. [00:49] to see what folders do you have there === Sachiru is now known as Guest27942 [00:49] Then I'll check the /media/ [00:49] Jay_ : great ! welcome back to ubuntu world ;) [00:49] ok === Sachiru_ is now known as Sachiru [00:49] Yes sir! [00:49] Can't wait to get off windows [00:50] Jay_ : how I uderstand you ... [00:51] Lol yeah my wife uses Windows so had to keep her happy I have Ubuntu on my 1tb hdd she has her Windows on the.other [00:52] ^^ [00:53] Now to figure out how to run both os on two separate screens at the same time [00:53] Jay_: how would that work? === HELP is now known as Guest24652 [00:53] add a raspberry pi to the mix [00:54] Don't know yet one screen Windows the other Ubuntu running simultaneously [00:54] Anyone know what to do here? : sudo mount /dev/mapper/enc-pv /media/clop [00:54] mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [00:55] nnb [00:55] A buddy of mine told me that it is possible though. I guess now it is time to put him to the tesr [00:55] Jay_ : I think you should better try virtualisation [00:56] with Xen or any other Hypervisor server [00:56] What does the following mean? "Create / Install : ‘ sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r raring -t unity’ / with Raring release and Unity window manager – pick your favorites" [00:56] i think he means multiseat and virtualization hard thing to do :P for now :p [00:56] All that was Greek to me [00:57] Glad it's not just me then. :P [00:57] that is for chromebook [00:57] ^^^ Bingop [00:57] Bingo* [00:57] hi [00:57] u use that command to choose what type of ubuntu u want. [00:57] My buddy has his own server here in Atlanta don't know what he does with it but he has about 10 stacks [00:58] incognito, could you recommend a type? [00:58] !elementary [00:58] Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [00:58] The release is raring and type is for unity [00:59] All Greek to me. [00:59] <-- Noob in the first degree [00:59] sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t unity [00:59] i was wondering when do anyone know when steam will port all the high end games to linux world, cant wait to get off my window box. i have it for games only :P [01:00] pytu, time will tell borderlands 2 soon unrealtournament on development etc [01:00] Jay_ : maybe trying virtual engines suits your need better [01:00] why do u not just enable legacy boot and install kali linux or ubuntu as the main system? [01:00] if they port bl2 to ubuntu i will be so happy? [01:01] !!!! [01:01] Not sure what virtual engines are about but sounds cool to me I will have to check it out [01:02] Still loading all the install packeges [01:02] hey i need a little help trying to recover some data [01:02] Hurry up and wait [01:02] On a live CD at the moment [01:03] managed to cryptsetup /dev/sda5 but ... i still cant access the files [01:03] Jay_: basically you'd install VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine, install Win* on that, and run it on one screen whilst Ubuntu was running as the host OS === mjayk__ is now known as mjayk [01:03] Jay_: it's kind of : i take some physical ressources (like RAM, cores of the processor, ...), I create virtuals parts for other things, and launch it. It'll be like two engines run at the same time [01:03] Nice can I all on your help when I get ready to do that? [01:04] like a windows in linux, or fedora on ubuntu [01:04] incognito, I typed what you told me and it's working it's magic now. [01:04] I don't know what trusty is but I have faith in you! [01:05] see you all time to sleep for me :) [01:06] Does capitalisation matter when choosing an install directory? [01:07] i.e. Is there a difference between CHROME-32 and chrome-32? [01:07] yes, generally [01:08] SchrodingersScat, great nick! True lols were had. [01:08] Also thanks for the answer. [01:09] I am up and running, Thanks again [01:09] misterTom: unix is case sensitive [01:09] Let's hope I didn't fudge things up, then. [01:10] Jay_ : have fun ! [01:10] curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php [01:11] is somethign wrong with using curl? [01:11] Baako: don't you have to sudo that as it will install to /bin ? [01:12] i need it to be install globally [01:12] Query: For a non-IT or managerial IT type, could you explain a) What DNSCrypt is, b) What its purpose is, and c) Why is it necessary? My writing skills are poor when it comes to explaining technical matters to non-technical personnel. [01:13] Baako: I understand. But I'm wrong - it looks like that is the official recommended way of installing it. I think I just downloaded it and copied it to $PATH manually [01:13] Hi, I updated to 14.04 because the popup came up and I just assumed I should, but now I have to restart lightdm every time I turn on my computer or I have no taskbars. [01:15] Is there any way I can make that not be an issue? [01:15] incognito, halp! I'm getting this error: http://textdump.net/read/5807/ [01:16] /usr/local/bin$ ls [01:16] composer [01:17] cd composer [01:17] bash: cd: composer: Not a directory [01:17] isnt that confusing [01:17] ls shows composer but i cant cd into it === root is now known as Guest75070 [01:17] Baako: no. Composer is a file, not a directory. [01:18] bish0p_: Try-> from ctl+alt+F1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-session , sudo restart lightdm . [01:18] mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer [01:18] Bashing-om, alright, I'll try that. [01:18] isn't composer a folder? [01:18] Baako: see my reply above [01:19] bish0p_: Older versions of Ubuntu had unity's session in the package gnome-session. But for 14.04, they made a new one called ubuntu-session. [01:19] what are you on the 16 ssd gb chromebook? [01:19] i saw it but what i am sayign is. having i meant to moved it to a folder called composer? [01:19] https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally [01:19] incognito, yes! [01:19] ASUS C300, 16gb. [01:19] Baako: no benefit to doing that. It wouldn' [01:19] Baako: no benefit to doing that. It wouldn't be in $PATH [01:19] cool thanks [01:20] Good Morning [01:20] Have u repartitioned the hard drive? [01:21] incognito, whoops, I'm back! [01:22] somsip sip_ php composer.phar self-update Could not open input file: composer.phar [01:22] U will have to delete that chroot and make some more room on your chromebook. [01:22] Baako: because you renamed it as composer (without the .phar) [01:22] got it [01:22] Baako: and it's in your path (hopefully) so you can just run composer self-update [01:23] If u have repartitioned your hard drive to install chrubuntu earlier u will need to do a restore on ur chromebook. [01:23] incognito, how would I go about doing that? I'm fairly certain that I had to reformat my CB today in order to enable developer mode. [01:23] There probably isn't anything on it... [01:23] Also, I just reformatted the SD card too. [01:25] sudo delete-chroot unity [01:25] that will roll back what u just installed [01:25] removable CHROME-32 not found. [01:26] I aimed it at CHROME-32 but it is now named chrome-32. [01:26] Is that why it ran out of room? [01:26] however, if u have installed chrubuntu earlier u will need to make a usb flash drive from the image burner on chromebook. [01:26] That's not very clear, sorry. [01:26] in the GUI when you right click and get the option and see "permission" [01:26] type chrome://imageburner in the browser of ur chromebook [01:27] you see owner "me" access "created and deletd file" group "baako" others "access file" [01:27] then insert a new usb flash drive in your chromebook [01:27] i have alot of files in a folder. i copy those files from my windows pc to ubuntu [01:27] make a back up image and reinstall chrome os fresh. [01:27] Baako: we dont need a running commentary. Just stae the problem [01:27] so the permission doesn't let me access the php files [01:27] *state [01:27] What's the point in backing up Chrome OS? [01:28] Can I just reformat and start over? [01:28] i only need to run the php cli interpreter. what package should I install. i dont need apache or any other [01:28] u shouldnt have to aim it to chrome 32 [01:28] !permissions | Baako [01:28] Baako: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:28] i need to change the folder and all it contains [01:28] are u on acer c720? [01:28] ASUS c300 [01:28] fairly new CB' [01:28] dagerik: php5, but it may pull in dependencies you don't want. Not sure. [01:28] dagerik: I thinkg php5 should do it, the modules are php5-cgi for example. [01:29] I would reformat and dont aim it to a folder. [01:29] reformat the SD card? The CB? [01:29] just let it install the crouton to the system. [01:29] I would like to install it and run it from an SD carfd. [01:29] does the gnome still not have the minimize and "minus" [01:30] well the gnome shell for 14.04 [01:30] U will need to find out where ur sd card is at [01:30] Is that even possible? [01:30] meaning what slot is it. [01:30] What command lets me find it? [01:30] like /dev/sdb1 or what? [01:30] Yep you can install into ot [01:31] then, u will have to aim it at it. [01:31] df -h [01:31] that is when the sd card is pluged in. [01:32] <_2_lulu> ok [01:32] I believe it is @ mmcblk1 [01:32] slide ur sd card in the slot and type df -h into the terminal [01:33] yeap, that sounds correct [01:33] <_2_lulu> ok y'all talking to me [01:33] oh, wait.... [01:34] <_2_lulu> wat [01:34] df -h returns mmcblk1p1 [01:34] there is a section at github that tells u about how to install aa crouton to a sd card.

I miss the 3D rotating workspace switcher/manager.

They work fine in nomodeset. Is there anything i can do? [01:41] sydney: Proprietary driver, how did you install it, and did you UN-install it before installing nouveau ?? [01:41] I will be right back... [01:41] sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t unity -r trusty -p /media/removable/Your External Drives Name\ Drive/ [01:41] It should be something like that.

[03:06] yes [03:06] There is any problem to try install Lubuntu or ubuntu 14.04 in a 6 GB ram laptop or more ? [03:06] blackangelpr: IF the applicastion also exist in the repository -> ppa-purge . [03:07] Is there a reason why Ubuntu sometimes updates software on its own? For instance, the current official version of BOINC Manager is 7.2.42 but the one in the Software Center is 7.4.8 ??? [03:07] Bashing-om, the one that exist do not even work any more [03:07] urielvigilant, are you asking if there's a problem or are you having a problem? There shouldn't be a problem, unless you're having one. [03:08] uRock sorry my english. Iam only asking if something could go wrong === user_892 is now known as c107rapido [03:09] blackangelpr: you asked " safest way to delete a program installed by ppa's? " the safwst way IF exists is with ppa-purge, then if you want it gone from the system -> apt-get remove --purge . [03:09] squinty luvcview! that's the program I was thinking of that I intended to install in the first place [03:10] squinty but it's too late now... uninstalling guvcview hasn't brought the camera back [03:10] urielvigilant, that shouldn't be a problem, but RAM is the last thing to look at when it comes to problems. Graphics are the usual culprit. [03:11] Bashing-om, works thanks [03:12] Bashing-om, works thanks [03:12] blackangelpr: great! if all done remember to also remove the source from /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory . [03:13] I upgraded my Lubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04 with out new install. This is bad ? Now that iam with 14.04 i need a clean install from 14.04.1 to stay on top of quality ? Same to 14.10 when it comes out ? === BQ_ is now known as BQ [03:16] urielvigilant: No. 14.04 to 1404.1 just simbolizes a group of bug fixes. ;) [03:16] urielvigilant: IF you are presently on 14.04 -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- should bring uou up to 14.04.1 , [03:17] urielvigilant, If the upgrade went well, then you don't need to do a clean install. as Bashing-om pointed out, regular updates will get you to 14.04.1 [03:18] urielvigilant: Relase 14.04 is a LTS release and is supported until 2019. 14.10 is an interim release and will only have support for 9 months. [03:19] so Its better to stay with 14.04.01, i will try to update it on console then. thanks [03:20] :) [03:20] Is there a reason why Ubuntu sometimes updates some of the repository software on its own? For instance, the current official version of BOINC Manager is 7.2.42 but the one in the Software Center is 7.4.8 ???

[03:35] what should i type to remove old kernels? [03:35] where does libreoffice save the icons [03:36] i want only the last one? [03:37] Could anyone assist with a multi-monitor setup?

[03:47] ibm_: Should, I have upgraded progressively from 12.04, and that command now in 14.04 does in deed on my system remove the old kernels ( I just cleaned them out recently !) .. else well, there is the apt-get remove method to remove kernels.

[03:53] kernerl headers, kernel image etc [03:54] kudakwashe, use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for kernel updates [03:54] Bashing-om no i ment that it does not remove but the command works === ricardo is now known as Guest73608 [03:55] D: [03:55] uRock: if i do that, when there's a new version of ubuntu won't it upgrade to that version?

[05:00] and people wonder why Linux isn't mainstream [05:00] gorelative: I would surmise that there is on the system some 32 bit application(s) . [05:01] okay so how do you specify i386 deb liens? [05:01] lines* [05:01] deb-i386? [05:01] in case it's not clear -- i'm super new to this [05:02] Nautilus: My experience; short pencil beats long memory . [05:03] ah my /etc/apt/mirror.list, i had to define two lines for each repo.. deb-i386 and deb-amd64 [05:03] Bashing-om: hm? [05:03] gotta download another 32gb lol [05:03] Nautilus: I love linux -- takes a bit to learn the file structire, but has really saved my bacon a time or two ! .. copy files to external, is the external device mounted ? [05:03] mounted but pita at every turn [05:04] i've given up on it [05:05] just posted the files on my site, will download from $other_location tomorrow. [05:06] Anyone know of linux software for document management. Something that would use folders and meta tag information? [05:09] Nautilus: File structure is different .. but .. make a mount point to attatch the device to the file system .. as: HD #1 -> sudo mkdir /mnt/work . Mount it ! sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/work , make it your own: sudo chown Nautilus:Nautilus /mnt/work , copy to the target : cp /mnt/work/ // all done UNmount the devixew -> sudo umount /mnt/work . easy peasy in my book. [05:13] Bashing-om: I didnt do the chown, but I, the owner made it. Still no go [05:19] Nautilus: If you created the directory as root (sudo) then root owns it not you . Will have to change that ownership to "you" . [05:19] stuff and stuff, yea. probably tried to make it myself but needed sudo [05:20] but really, gave up. [05:20] Nautilus: termianal command ls -al to see the permissions and group/owner . [05:20] yeayeayea [05:21] COPY FILES [05:21] sorry, just ranting now, appreciate the feedback [05:22] Nautilus: We are getting there ( even if a kitten insists my lap is her home ) . [05:22] nah, I gave up, that box is off [05:22] FTP'd it for tomorrow, site files live on the web, never made it to USB [05:23] * Nautilus recognizes when irc peeps are trying to be helpful, ty Bashing-om [05:24] Nautilus: We pick this up again later ,, I am done anyway for this session .. eyes are blurring out on me .. think'n getting forced .. done ! [05:24] nites for me too === abdul is now known as Guest39752 [05:42] Hi guys, I am using 14.04 since a while but suddenly today.. I am not able to proceed beyond the login screen.. [05:43] I type my password there.. and the screen remains there only.. (Doesn't hang but doesn't proceed also).. Just stuck on the splash screen.. === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan [05:50] i need lib32gmp3-dev but i cant find it. im on 14.04 [05:51] dagerik, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/lib32gmp3-dev [05:52] uRock: apt-get cannot find it [05:53] dagerik, if you aren't on Lucid, then you'll have to download and install it with dpkg or Software Center. === BQ_ is now known as BQ [05:57] uRock: im on 14.04 [05:57] Download and install it from the link I posted. [06:01] dagerik: you probably want libgmp3-dev:i386 instead [06:02] I got a question [06:04] Ubuntu NetBoot errors around base installation anyway to fix it? [06:06] My Ubuntu is running the latest stable kernel! Help! It's too up to date! [06:06] 3.16.1 [06:06] Linux cyde 3.16.2 #1 SMP Sun Sep 7 21:41:51 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [06:07] 3.16.2 I mean === RoBo_Zzzz is now known as RoBo_V [06:12] Thc_: haven't used netboot but would probably need more details anyhow, as in how exactly does it fail, anything unique about the hardware, what have you done to debug etc.? [06:13] I'm new to it tried everything [06:13] Thc_: also would be good to see what documentation/pages you're reading, like are you using this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot ? [06:14] Yes [06:14] Gets to base installation then fails [06:14] does ubuntu have a builtin alarm? I saw a design document on it but couldn't find it [06:14] I need an alarm that will wake my laptop from sleep [06:15] Thc_: fails how, any sort of messaging, instantly reboots, hangs? [06:15] matty_r: don't think there is a built in alarm app regarding waking the laptop from sleep that depends on the hardware you have to some degree [06:15] Something about packaging unpacking error [06:16] Says try five times [06:16] Something I'm missing [06:16] wafflejock: I've already configured BIOS to allow it to wake from sleep. I just need a way to get Ubuntu to wake it. Maybe some way to have a scheduled task? [06:16] matty_r: here's one of the things related to it http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man4/rtc.4.html typcially I personally use my android devices with alarm clock apps that ask me to do some math [06:17] Thc_: not sure, is it a wired connection, any chance you can get it running again and note the exact error for some googling? [06:18] And Ubuntu desktop errors on installation after you set the time [06:18] It is wired [06:18] Thc_: so using the netboot installation you're saying you got some package errors but then were still able to get to a desktop? [06:19] or are you just saying with the same netboot you have two different errors along the way? [06:19] hi, anyone know how to configure dnsmasq? [06:19] No sorry two different discs ones DVD and NetBoot I got to software install before [06:20] It's new pc and it's on NetBoot on USB drive [06:21] Thc_: hmm strange... yeah I dunno I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 but after fiddling with things in KDE for a while in 12.04 I decide to switch to Gnome and just do a clean install to get rid of any old junk I typically just do the installs from DVDs cause it just typically works the best for me (consistency amount of time to burn a disc vs setup USB and get it to boot from USB etc.) [06:22] my clean install of 14.04 Gnome Ubuntu went smooth, all I can say is check the installation media (md5 checksum the ISO vs the one provided on the site, do the disc verification after burning if you burn a disc) [06:22] Well tried burn to disc but DVD burner only supports 6x [06:23] aside from that maybe there's some underlying hardware issue or incompatibilty but hard to guess really [06:23] It's amd 8350 processor with no os on [06:23] It [06:24] It's connect to led tv via hdmi [06:25] yeah I don't thin the processor's are typically a problem really it's usually the graphics chipsets or wireless drivers that have issues, but really it sounds like you're just hitting bad memory or some sort of problem with the software [06:25] think* [06:25] I don't quite get how you check mdsum can it be done on windows 7 [06:25] strange thing is since about 10.04 things have been pretty solid (at least in my limited experience) [06:26] regarding md5 checksum I think ImgBurn for windows does it [06:26] Ok [06:26] some of the CD/DVD burning programs will show you the md5 sum when you point at an ISO file and it should be listed with the download too usually [06:26] hi, anyone know how to configure dnsmasq? [06:27] faryshta: I do not, what are you trying to do with it though? [06:28] I got iso off the Ubuntu site I don't understand [06:28] wafflejock, that *.faryshta sends me to localhost [06:28] 大家好 [06:29] what would the best method of syncing user and group ids across several VMs be? ATM the host and the guests OSes have different names associated with the same id. [06:29] Thc_: well the md5 checksum just lets you verify what you downloaded matches what was on the server (in case something got corrupt while saving the file or during transmission something got messed up, typically over TCP this doesn't happen because the packets themselves have some checks built in as well but always good to be sure) [06:29] !ch | frankyang [06:29] frankyang: The Swiss !LoCo team can be found in #ubuntu-ch (please speak English there) - Deutschsprachiger Ubuntu Support in #ubuntu-de - Aide Ubuntu en français dans #ubuntu-fr - Supporto Ubuntu in Italiano in #ubuntu-it [06:29] oh that's not right [06:29] !cn [06:29] 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [06:30] maybe? [06:30] Oh ok [06:30] I'll let you know [06:31] Thc_: yeah, otherwise if it's consistent with the failure write down as much of the error situation as you can and drop it on ubuntuforums.com then you can link to it here for others to help you figure out what's up [06:33] fsdaf [06:34] faryshta: seems like it relies on /etc/resolve.conf or /etc/hosts in the default case to determine how to resolve some domain, not sure about wildcards in the hosts file though [06:34] faryshta: http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/setup.html [06:35] wafflejock, etc/hosts doesn't support wildcards [06:35] faryshta: hmm actually http://serverfault.com/questions/118378/in-my-etc-hosts-file-on-linux-osx-how-do-i-do-a-wildcard-subdomain [06:44] Where at is it I don't see it [06:50] the md5 sum? [06:51] hmm thought it showed it when it shows up people on this forum say it's after it burns http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/4919-how-to-check-with-the-md5-checksum/ [06:52] hm. seems like after the last update ubuntu is totally screwed [06:52] i can login but don't get unity starting up :/ [06:52] !nomodeset | Macer [06:52] Macer: 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 [06:53] ^ give that a shot maybe something got botched in your graphics drivers [06:53] i already set that [06:53] same behavior? [06:53] but it's not a gfx problem [06:53] it was working fine up until i completely turned the laptop off and turned it on [06:53] and i don't really see anything odd in the logs [06:54] Macer: you can try reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop packages if all else fails [06:54] i'm using the console now lol [06:54] well.. i'll try that and see what happens.. but this may give me an excuse to use PCBSD [06:54] since it supports the wifi card in this thing [06:55] ubuntu starts.. i get the login screen. usually with the nomodeset the screen blanks out and doesn't come back [06:55] when i login unity doesn't start... no sidebar etc [06:55] basically I know plymouth is used for the boot screen then it hands over to gdm/kdm/lightdm for the login screen then after that starts up the session based on whatever DE you have but aside from Xorg.conf problems or gfx problems usually [06:55] guys any good imgur upload command line package ? [06:56] RoBo_V: not sure about command line pastebinit is good for pastes from the command line to paste.ubuntu.com [06:56] wafflejock: it was working fine for like.. months :) after the last base update that was pushed out it broke upon reboot [06:56] weirdest thing ever [06:56] RoBo_V: shutter is a nice gui for screenshots that uploads right to dropbox or imgur [06:56] wafflejock: yes I have it, looking for images [06:56] i'm goign to try to run an upgrade.. maybe a bad pkg? [06:56] wafflejock: you but just need command line "imgur upload" command thats it [06:56] *yup [06:57] Macer: yeah I would sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, see if anything changed then sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop --reinstall (assuming you have a backup of your critical stuff already) [06:57] hm. doesn't look like there is anything new that would help. ah well. i tend to expect things like this from ubuntu heh [06:57] there's nothing on this laptop that's mission critical... heh [06:57] my last awesome experience with ubuntu was when i was using ubuntu server and zfs on linux [06:57] and it updated the kernel.. but not hte zfs modules.. and /var was mounted on the zfs :D [06:58] it's been great on the desktop for me but I bought a System76 laptop so it's all tested before I got it [06:58] yeah. me too up until now. [06:58] got Ubuntu on my desktop too though and it's pretty solid, only have some problems with games (they're beta too to be fair) [06:58] macer - how hard was it to recover from that zfs failure? [06:58] ah well. like i said. i wanted to try out PCBSD anyways. would be nice to have a bsd based laptop os that isn't osx heh [06:59] yeah I'm interested in PCBSD too [06:59] Valarkin_: not hard at all.. i removed the ubuntu thumb drive it was booting from.. and put my freenas one in ;) [06:59] and never looked back heh [06:59] imported the zfs into freenas and i was back up in a few minutes.. although i lost my lxc containers but that'snot a big deal [06:59] do anyone know why pulse audio volume control doesnt let me select which to listen too in recording? [06:59] i tend to like fbsd jails better anyways [07:00] listen to the Jupiter Broadcasting stuff and one of the guys who works primarily on PCBSD is a cohost for a podcast/Youtube show BDSNow [07:00] wafflejock: the only problem with pcbsd on a laptop is hardware support [07:00] especially wifi [07:00] ubuntu uses the wrapper hackery to get most of them to work... pcbsd not so much heh [07:00] and there's no telling what else may not work without actually trying it ... i'm sure it is a lot easier to get on a desktop that doesn't need wifi tho [07:00] Macer: don't think that's true anymore, I used ndiswrapper for years there but lately it all seems to using built in drivers [07:01] but yeah linux had the same wifi issues for a long time [07:01] wafflejock: well. i guess. they may be getting closed blobs nowadays maybe? [07:01] yeah think so [07:01] either that or they're using hacked up drivers heh [07:01] yeah [07:01] reverse engineered offical drivers [07:02] but then again. most of it is isn't it? i think atheros based stuff is the only one with actual kernel src modules [07:02] there may be more nowadays tho. i haven't had to build a kernel in a very long time lol [07:02] at least i can use the console on this for now .. i just needed to ssh [07:02] maybe one day the hardware vendors will start releasing things but they consider that stuff important to their business since it can give them an edge if their drivers are trickier even if the hardware isn't as good [07:03] at least that's what I hear about the graphics card vendors [07:03] wafflejock: they just don't see a need to support linux unless their hardware is targeted for it [07:03] like storage devices probably have a ton of linux support.. but wifi stuff is mostly consumer based stuff [07:03] yeah I mean that makes sense but not open sourcing it doesn't really [07:03] plus they always scream IP :) [07:03] yeah that's it ^ === ubuntu is now known as Guest51390 [07:04] that's just the way it goes. if linux really had a larger foothold then maybe you'd see more being done [07:04] i think the biggest problem with linux is its complete lack of centralization and uniformity [07:04] i mean if you build something for windows.. all windows is the same.. same for apple stuff [07:05] linux may have thousands of variants [07:05] Macer: eh it had a lot of growing pains for a while but most stuff is Debian, Red Hat or SuSe [07:05] I mean there are 1000 derivatives but the core of everything is the same [07:05] you would think ;) [07:05] I think SteamOS will help a lot if it's successful [07:05] but people said the same thing about java heh [07:05] i don't think steamos will travel very far [07:06] i mean not unless they do it xb1/ps4 style with exclusive awesome titles [07:06] yeah I dunno either but if it does work out it will be compelling for the graphics people to pay attention, I think that and desktop publishing software like Adobe stuff are the biggest barriers to switching [07:06] the only thing that makes steamos neat is you can build your own rig... but then i'm sure people will run into hardware problems unless they have the most awesome APIs ever [07:07] well steamOS is just for gaming isn't it? [07:07] i thought that was its main concentration... a diy gaming console [07:07] yeah but will lend legitamacy to graphics based stuff in Linux if it can compete with the big guys [07:07] all MS or Sony would really have to do to crush them.. would be to make their GPUs modular lol [07:07] since the GPU is all that matters in real consoles [07:08] if they make it so people can keep the same box and upgrade the gpu for a better gaming experience. then steamOS would pretty much be dead in the water [07:08] yeah think the main selling point really is having the steam marketplace in your device and synched between your computer and living room [07:08] also with competition between hardware vendors the prices might be reduced over time (not now) [07:08] if they sell a $200 box that does just as much as an XB1 it woudl be a success.. especially fi they have the games to back it [07:09] games that can work with a controller well that is [07:09] yeah it's still very up in the air [07:09] i don't think joe console is going to take to the mouse/kb very well [07:09] happy we're getting some games on Linux anyhow [07:09] any thoughts on resolving this? most of what I found says rebuild the module... which did not help : "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available [07:10] ah well.. i guess tomorrow when i get the chance i'll go ahead and install pcbsd on this laptop [07:10] kde isn't too bad heh [07:10] Macer: I switched to kdm when gnome 3 came out lol [07:10] plus it's bsd. i'm sure it's a bit more stable than ubuntu tbh [07:11] Macer: cool well good luck with that, yeah I was digging KDE in place of Unity in 12.04, I never liked it in the past but KDE4 was pretty nice, felt far more modern than the old KDEs I've used [07:11] every time i have used ubuntu it is great as far as a user experience goes but you run into things like this where just updating it breaks it [07:11] especially major updates [07:11] like from 04 to 10 [07:11] Macer: yeah going between versions I've had breaks for sure [07:11] Macer: never during a regular update luckily [07:11] knock on wood [07:11] lol.. you're going to talk it up [07:11] I have been looking at the current versions of kde and gnome on ubuntu and debian jessie [07:12] i honestly like qt based stuff more.. it seems a bit more uniform [07:12] at the very least the OK/Cancel will always be in the same place in kde based things :) [07:12] gtk is notorious for things being all over the place [07:13] I write my gui on html5 or java awt/swing so it doesn't much mater to me [07:13] Well didnt match up [07:13] and i don't know what it is about gnome. but it seems a bit dated.. like motif compared to kde [07:13] Thc1: hmm k well something went bad with your burner your DVD or the download (I would guess the DVD or burner first) [07:13] Macer: gnome3 is quite tablet / win8 like [07:14] hanasaki: is it? [07:14] Thc1: you can get some programs on windows that will check the md5sum of the ISO directly too if you just burned a new disc and the md5 didn't match [07:14] i haven't tried it tbh [07:14] any ideas on how they compare for memory bloat? [07:14] I like gnome3 just changed to it [07:14] all the desktop environments are bloatware [07:14] think it and KDE are pretty comparable [07:14] for lightweight things i just use one of the *box WMs [07:14] about 300MB [07:14] gnome3 panels are ok but no where as customizable as gnome2 or kde [07:14] like fluxbox or blackbox [07:14] macer box??? [07:15] I mostly like the winkey to see everything launch stuff search and manage workspaces [07:15] hanasaki: sure. you can make them look pretty good if you take the time to configure them [07:15] the simplicity is nice after having a widget filled KDE [07:15] I wish the NeXT gui and display postscript had caught on for linux === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [07:15] Well I put it on USB [07:15] hanasaki: lol... wow.. next.. that's a blast from the past [07:15] you can always use osx :P [07:15] yea NeXT died a firey death [07:16] that's because steve got his job back [07:16] and turned next into osx heh [07:16] reincarnated as Mac OSX ... it lives :) [07:16] so do you think apple sticks with X forever? [07:16] Tried DVD and cd [07:17] would love to get osx running on vbox, kvm [07:17] i don't think there's ever going to be an OS XI [07:17] hanasaki: i thought you can run it in VMs nowadays [07:17] what're they at 10.8? [07:17] it's not that good anyways.. i never really liked osx [07:17] yeah I did the hackintosh thing cause I needed the uploader to submit to their app store and can only get it on OS X [07:17] that was annoying [07:17] the ui really isn't that great.. and omg that hfs+ fs that splits metadata over smb shares drove me crazy [07:18] Would it be easier to upgrade from 12. [07:18] Thc1: no typically a clean install is the best way to go [07:18] How do you do that [07:19] Thc1: well I mean what you're trying to do, installing 12.04 just to upgrade to 14.04 isn't generally a better way to go [07:19] ah well.. thanks anyways. i'm off to ponder installing pcbsd... think i'll do it in a little whiel... i wonder if i can just dd the .iso to a thumb drive and boot it to install [07:19] take care ;) [07:20] modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available [07:20] <= thoughts on the issue/fix ? [07:20] Well no luck just getting Ubuntu 14.04 lts up and running [07:20] Thc1: so which md5sum did you check the ISO file you downloaded doesn't match the one on the site? or ? [07:20] Ubuntu.com [07:21] Where the md5sum is [07:21] hanasaki: http://ww1.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1634883 some steps in the second to last post here might be relevant [07:21] Thc1: vs the download file? [07:21] downloaded* [07:22] if those are different then you need to redownload the ISO [07:22] wafflejock: I found the same posting... rebuilt and stillno luck.... worked on 3.16.1 and still does on reboot. doesn't work on the new 3.16.2 I just built... same .config file for the build [07:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntuhashes [07:23] I'm redownloading now [07:23] Thc1: yah but you said that doesn't match, what didn't it match (like how'd you get the MD5 sum on windows?) [07:24] It was program called winmd5free [07:24] ah k so you checked the ISO file you downloaded and it didn't match [07:24] I downloaded on my other computer [07:25] Yes [07:25] yeah sounds like corrupted download or file transfer or something messed it up then [07:25] makes sense you would have problems if something got botched there [07:26] I wonder if I should hard wired this system [07:26] It's on wifi [07:26] typically it's not a problem but I just trust wired more when it comes to moving large files (and it's just so much faster on the LAN) [07:26] also with the netboot thing I figured flakey wifi drivers or something might add to the problem [07:26] But wireless router like 5feet from it lol [07:27] Well giving me different download speeds now [07:27] yeah you still get everyone elses router noise and whatnot, I'm in an apartment this place is full of routers [07:27] Considering before it was faster [07:28] So it might of download right if not I'm going hard wired it [07:28] I'm in a house [07:29] Hi :) given an install, would there be a way to create easily a script that would collect all install packages version to reinstall extactly the same packages on another host? (possibly a combo of bin and src debs?) [07:29] Could be main problem maybe the corrupted file is the base [07:29] *all installed [07:29] Just my luck [07:31] pombreda: YMMV http://is.gd/uqTX8I https://github.com/fsmithred/scripts/blob/master/get-selections.sh === mate1410 is now known as Mate1410 [07:34] I'm talking about current pc I down [07:34] Download iOS off it and other one has hard wire on it [07:40] how to install it : https://github.com/jomo/imgur-screenshot === pombreda is now known as Guest35708 [07:41] RoBo_V: download the *.sh, run the check in the README.

I'm out of luck googling, any debug advice? [07:43] RoBo_V: it's not suported software so log an issue with the author if you want help [07:45] somsip_: okk [07:45] bolland: have you tried different mice as well or a touchpad (any alternative pointing devices to see if it's a device specific problem?) [07:46] Comcast sucks in my opinion [07:46] bolland: also might want to look into xinput --list it has a lot of things you can tweak on a per hardware basis [07:47] Thc: yeah I'm in between, it's like Verizon, very expesnive generally the best available... still not super impressed [07:47] wafflejock, yes I've tried several thanks [07:47] ok thx will try xinput --list [07:47] I have a few VPS instances running Ubuntu Server running 12.10, and I want to upgrade them to 14.04.

[08:19] fl8sh123: you should test the local web server before dealing with forwarding the domain [08:19] wafflejock: local works [08:19] wafflejock: I've been attempting this for a week and my brother just told me about this [08:20] waffles they check out same 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd [08:20] IRC [08:20] fl8sh123: if that is running and the port is forwarded on the router (port 80 to the local machine) then it should work, you may have issues with your ISP though [08:20] thc_: nice [08:20] so, ern.. :D how u guys doin' [08:20] now what do i check? [08:20] fl8sh123: ah yeah the IRC has been hear since the beginning :) [08:20] thc_: if the md5 sum is the same the bits are the same in the download [08:20] yeah irc was before bulletin boards hehe [08:21] wafflejock: ok so if I have multiple computers linked to my router but only have my servers IP forwarded I should be fine? [08:21] fl8sh123: yeah if the port forwarding on the router redirects the traffic to the computer on the LAN with apache running it'll be able to respond [08:21] i was around when the www was discovered and recoreds was out hehe [08:21] records* [08:21] wafflejock: thank you very much [08:22] fl8sh123: np [08:22] thank you everybody...time to try this [08:22] wafflejock: so what is the next step [08:23] fl8sh123: yeah for the record I use AWS for hosting my stuff so you don't have any restrictions like the ISP puts on residential customers (blocking e-mail traffic etc.), you may also want to check out DigitalOcean.com they do relatively cheap virtual private servers you can mess with [08:23] thc_: just burn to disc and if you use imgburn it should verify the md5sum again for you and can verify the disc (reread it after burning to verify it matches the ISO data) if all that works out you should have a definitely good disc [08:24] imgburn should have an option for the verify after burning [08:24] one problem my dvd burner dont burn 4x [08:24] wafflejock: I have looked into that but I am being pushed to host multiple websites so I need to show that I can get one up [08:24] is that going be a problem [08:24] wafflejock: if I can get this working I will have a static line paid for [08:25] fl8sh123: hosting multiple sites on one server isn't a problem I'd just be concerned about the ISP bringing the hammer down :) [08:25] yea most isp sucks [08:25] fl8sh123: I have about 10 sites on my medium AWS instance and it does our small business e-mail and is my git server and runs jenkins builds for the websites I build [08:25] like comcast,and mediacom [08:25] fl8sh123: thats the bottom line - however this is beyond the scope of this channel [08:25] fl8sh123: you should not be hosting websites on home grade internet connections [08:25] you're free to host what you want, where you want [08:26] lol to name a few that i wouldnt recommend [08:26] ikonia: thank you for the advice [08:26] wafflejock: from what I'ver seen on DigitalOcean is they charge for uptime [08:26] Doesn't a lot of that depend on where you are in the world? We don't have the same restrictions on use here in DK [08:26] i like to stream and download [08:27] fl8sh123: they have flat rate $5 per month deals too I think [08:27] my wifi is not runing... getting the following erroro. how to determine the cause and fix? modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available [08:27] [08:27] i got suspended on comcast for downloading too much lol go figure [08:27] att repp said if your going stream dont get comcast they cant handle netflix [08:27] lol [08:27] wafflejock: that sounds good. I don't like have to keep tabs on what I owe due to usage [08:27] fl8sh123: AWS it's based all on usage and is about $30 a month for 1 medium server for me (medium being 1.5 GB of RAM ~1.7Ghz processor but it's solid for web hosting) [08:27] yeah [08:28] thats not bad [08:28] wafflejock: Amazon Web Services? [08:28] yeah it's not terrible really and the snapshot feature is really nice to make me feel less paranoid about upgrades [08:28] fl8sh123: yup [08:29] wafflejock: why did you choose them over Digital? [08:29] I just heard about them first then after trying digital ocean it was marginally slower than AWS in my limited testing [08:29] /leave #ubuntu [08:30] is there an isp in the northwest that's better than charter? [08:30] wafflejock:is it going error because the speed of the burning? [08:30] i remember when i had dsl with qwest, they could put a 24hr check on my line for hacking attemps [08:30] or should i trust the usb drive again? [08:31] wafflejock: Thank you for all of the input [08:31] thc_: it might but the verify disc feature in most burning apps should catch the problem [08:31] fl8sh123: np good to chat it out with people and hear other opinions [08:32] thc_: regarding USB you can do it if that typically works for you, I've had problems with various BIOSes not liking booting off of various USB sticks so I usually go DVD if it's an option [08:32] wafflejock: last question before a cig...if I change my port for port forwarding to something other than 80, do I need to do anything on my server to make it work? [08:32] how i can download tor only?no firefox [08:33] fl8sh123: you'll want to dig around in /etc/apache to see the configuration files, somewhere in there (think it's in ports.conf now) they have "Listen 80" so if you change the port it's being forwarded to you'll need to change that and restart apache, sudo service apache2 restart [08:33] wafflejock: k. thanks again [08:34] wafflejock: how do you check to see if it burnt the iso right? [08:35] thc_: usually just a verify disc checkbox in the burning apps, not sure in imgburn though it's been a while [08:35] I've been in ubuntu land for about 2 years and have left windows behind aside from a little gaming here or there [08:35] elo [08:35] whats up [08:36] dont u think by now they got emulator for windows on linux lol [08:36] chillen but really need to knock out here [08:36] they do for linux on windows [08:36] thc_: well you can use wine or you can virtualbox it [08:36] but it doesn't perform as well in virtualbox since it's not using native drivers to access all the hardware directly [08:36] how good is it though [08:37] oh i see [08:37] it's good enough for photoshop [08:37] not good enough for games [08:37] imgur uploader command line, anyine can help or recommend.. [08:37] ? [08:38] well im hoping this works [08:38] RoBo_V: I told you to log an issue with the author of that script [08:38] if not i guess the usb drive going be put in use [08:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8288604/ [08:38] or netbooting again this time check md5sum [08:39] wow how did it write at 1x [08:39] thats weird [08:39] somsip_: thats ok but looking for other options now [08:39] is there a way to check to see if the iso burn on disc right ?
