| misterTom | spearhead: Reinstalling now, then. | 02:29 |
| misterTom | Bashing-om, what does that do? | 02:29 |

| spearhead | misterTom, so, if I am understanding you correctly you have a windows computer which is running a steam streaming host and a linux computer running a steam streaming client and the client on the linux machine cannot see the host on the windows machine? | 02:48 |
| misterTom | spearhead, exactly, yes! | 02:48 |
| misterTom | spearhead, are you at all familiar with in homes treaming? | 02:49 |
| misterTom | *streaming | 02:49 |
| leadZERO | I'm expanding a hardware RAID on an adaptec card. How do I have Linux probe for the larger capacity? | 02:49 |
| spearhead | misterTom, I have not dealt with in-home streaming... but this sounds like a windows issue. what version of windows are you running? | 02:49 |
| leadZERO | (on ubuntu server 14.04) | 02:49 |
| misterTom | Windows 8. -_- | 02:50 |
| _unreal_ | cant see the host or doesnt support the game | 02:51 |
| misterTom | spearhead, Here's what I see in Steam. http://i.imgur.com/HS1IAky.png | 02:51 |

| spearhead | misterTom, I'm sorry but I have absolutely no experience with windows 8. I jumped off that bandwaggon for good whe. 7 came out... | 02:51 |
| daniel_ | fim | 02:51 |
| misterTom | localhost is the name of my linux client since I didn't rename it, right? | 02:51 |
| misterTom | spearhead, the image I linked (http://i.imgur.com/HS1IAky.png) is from my Windows desktop. | 02:52 |
| misterTom | If I'm not mistaken that means that my desktop sees the client but the client won't connect, right? | 02:52 |
| _unreal_ | localhost when it comes to games typically means the computer you are on | 02:53 |
| _unreal_ | meaning self hosting | 02:53 |
| spearhead | misterTom, localhost is always the computer you are on. | 02:53 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | I got a tunnel account from HE | 03:00 |
| redco01 | damn ISS feed keeps cutting out | 03:00 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I added it using the instructions here: http://blog.iphoting.com/blog/2012/06/02/ipv6-on-amazon-aws-ec2/ | 03:00 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | but, I still can't connect to the ipv6 world | 03:00 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | when I ping6 google, I get icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable | 03:00 |
| _unreal_ | somsip, please read making claims, I just finished suggesting a redirection for his questions. dont blame me. | 03:00 |
| redco01 | have u enabled ipv6? | 03:01 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | redco01, how do I check? | 03:01 |
| redco01 | system settings, what OS u in? | 03:01 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ubuntu server | 03:01 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | so command line only | 03:01 |

| _unreal_ | MDTech-us_MAN, do you have an ip address? | 03:02 |
| _unreal_ | or are you on the computer that your having issues with? | 03:02 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | _unreal_ what you mean? | 03:02 |
| misterTom | _unreal_: Can I check to see what machines are connected to my local network in Linux? | 03:02 |
| misterTom | Well, I bet I can. The question is how? | 03:02 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | _unreal_, it has a static IP | 03:03 |
| redco01 | i prefer open suse for my server | 03:03 |
| _unreal_ | yes you can and I dont know the command off the top of my head, its was an: arp command I beleive with a few switches and a semi ip address to scan | 03:03 |
| _unreal_ | MDTech-us_MAN, are you on the computer you are having issues with or is it a remote server that you are trying to access? | 03:03 |
| redco01 | open suse is just what we used in college so i am familier | 03:04 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | its remote server that I can SSH to | 03:04 |
| _unreal_ | are you ssh'ed into it right now? | 03:04 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | _unreal_, yes | 03:04 |
| _unreal_ | ok. | 03:04 |
| redco01 | have u tried suse unreal? | 03:04 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ummm | 03:05 |
| spearhead | !offtopic | redco01 | 03:05 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | lsmod |grep ipv6 returns nothing | 03:05 |
| ubottu | redco01: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:05 |
| _unreal_ | MDTech-us_MAN, why do you want ipv6? | 03:05 |
| redco01 | lol sorry uno | 03:05 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | its a server and I want it to be IPv6 ready | 03:05 |
| spearhead | MDTech-us_MAN, you can check to see if you have an ipv6 address by running "ifconfig | grep inet6" | 03:05 |
| misterTom | _unreal_: When I try to brose my network via "Files" it times out. | 03:05 |
| redco01 | ubuntu was my first she will always be special lol | 03:06 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | spearhead, it does show my IPv6 IP that I got from the tunnel | 03:06 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | also has ::1/128 which is the loopback | 03:07 |
| _unreal_ | when it comes to ipv6 I dont have a lot of experience with it. so I dont think there is much I can help with on it. | 03:08 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | :( | 03:08 |
| spearhead | I wonder if there is some router in the way that is not setup for ipv6 | 03:09 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | its a tunnel | 03:09 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | and its SUPPOSED to work | 03:09 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | uggg | 03:09 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | why does it work for everyone but me. :| | 03:09 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | http://blog.iphoting.com/blog/2012/06/02/ipv6-on-amazon-aws-ec2/ | 03:10 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | as it seems, it works for the 99.9% of ppl | 03:10 |
| _unreal_ | as I understand it ipv6 should work threw your current router. most likely it is going to be a settings issue on the server | 03:10 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | noooo | 03:11 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | it uses a TUNNEL | 03:11 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | not the router | 03:11 |
| _unreal_ | regardless ipv6 wont become main stream till prob 2018-2020 | 03:11 |
| spearhead | well it doesn't work for me... but I haven't tried it... like _unreal_ I have almost no experience with ipv6 but it sounds like it is a configuration error... I might try running through the tutorial again, see if you made a mistake somewhere. | 03:11 |
| _TJ_ | MDTech-us_MAN: Can you "pastebinit < <(ip link show && ip addr show && ip route show )" ? | 03:11 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8295897/ | 03:13 |
| misterTom | What is YaST? | 03:13 |
| squinty | an off topic for this channel? | 03:13 |
| somsip | squinty: #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:14 |
| squinty | someone, thanks but was refering to misterTom's comment. ;-) | 03:14 |
| misterTom | Whenever I try to look at the network I get "The system network services are not compatible with this version." | 03:14 |
| _TJ_ | MDTech-us_MAN: I forgot one :) "pastebinit < <(ip -6 route show)" | 03:15 |
| misterTom | Sorry, I don't even really know the right questions to ask about yet. | 03:15 |
| _unreal_ | ahhh I figured it out | 03:15 |
| _unreal_ | nmap -sP 192.168.x.* | 03:15 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8295924/ | 03:16 |
| _unreal_ | misterTom, that right there : nmap -sP 192.168.x.* replace the x with your current home network ip setup 0 or 1 etc..... | 03:16 |
| _unreal_ | that will list all of the ip address on your local network | 03:16 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | never knew about the pastebinit command before | 03:16 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | thx | 03:16 |
| spearhead | _unreal_, i forget what -sP does but I always run with -sV to get version info... | 03:17 |
| misterTom | How do I find my home network ip? | 03:17 |
| misterTom | Can I do so through Windows with "ipconfig" | 03:17 |
| spearhead | misterTom, yes or through linux with ifconfig | 03:17 |
| squinty | ifconfig | 03:18 |
| _unreal_ | hehe misterTom if what ever computer you are on just look at your ip address | 03:18 |
| doc-saintly | spearhead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8295937/ | 03:18 |
| misterTom | Default Gateway? | 03:18 |
| _unreal_ | misterTom, are you on windblows or linux currently? | 03:18 |
| misterTom | Both? | 03:18 |
| misterTom | Two computers going on. | 03:19 |
| _unreal_ | ok then on the linux one: sudo ifconfig | 03:19 |
| _unreal_ | then when you know what your network is setup like: nmap -sP 192.168.x.* its going to be 192.168.0 or 1.* | 03:20 |
| misterTom | I'm illiterate. | 03:20 |
| squinty | may have to install nmap | 03:20 |
| misterTom | Where can I find that? | 03:20 |
| misterTom | inet addr? | 03:20 |
| _unreal_ | same thing | 03:20 |
| spearhead | doc-saintly, I don't see anything there that would refuse a connection... my other thought is maybe ssh isn't getting started on boot... | 03:20 |
| doc-saintly | spearhead: which init should I look in for that? | 03:21 |
| _unreal_ | you type rather well for an illiterate | 03:21 |
| misterTom | Infinite monkies... | 03:21 |
| squinty | heh | 03:21 |
| _unreal_ | ok are you sshed into the linux machine on the windows? | 03:21 |
| _unreal_ | what computer are you sitting in front of a linux one or a windows one? | 03:21 |
| misterTom | Both. | 03:21 |
| misterTom | I have this chat window on Windows. | 03:22 |
| _unreal_ | ok.... | 03:22 |
| doc-saintly | misterTom: didn't you say one was a VM? | 03:22 |
| _unreal_ | then on the linux computer have open your console if not already, and type: sudo ifconfig | 03:22 |
| misterTom | ^^^ did that much at least. | 03:22 |
| misterTom | *Not on VM, btw. | 03:22 |
| _unreal_ | ok did you get a list of data return? | 03:23 |
| misterTom | Am I looking for the inet addr? | 03:23 |
| _unreal_ | inet | 03:23 |
| _unreal_ | inet 192.168. | 03:23 |
| misterTom | Ok, I got two output thingies though. | 03:23 |
| misterTom | Oh, ok. | 03:23 |
| misterTom | Got it. | 03:23 |
| _unreal_ | 2 outputs one lo and one eth0? | 03:24 |
| misterTom | lo and wlan0 | 03:24 |
| _unreal_ | ok what is your ip? | 03:24 |
| misterTom | dunt hak me pls | 03:24 |
| _TJ_ | MDTech-us_MAN: So far all that looks good | 03:24 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | i'll try rebooting | 03:25 |
| misterTom | I found the IP for wlan0 | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | misterTom, your on a home network behind a router your current ip is a privet network ip. | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | good what is it | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | 192.168...... | 03:25 |
| misterTom | 192.168.100.131 | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | ? | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | heheh 100 was not expecting that | 03:25 |
| _unreal_ | ok so then misterTom : nmap -sP 192.168.100.* | 03:26 |
| _unreal_ | or: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.100.* and that will return all the devices on your network | 03:26 |
| misterTom | That's not right?> | 03:27 |
| _unreal_ | ? | 03:27 |
| spearhead | doc-saintly, look in /etc/rc2.d to see if there is a file named Sxxsshd where xx is some number | 03:27 |
| _unreal_ | you can a no command found error? | 03:27 |
| _unreal_ | get | 03:27 |
| misterTom | "nmap -sP 192.168.100.131*" right? | 03:28 |
| doc-saintly | spearhead: will do, sec. | 03:28 |
| _unreal_ | misterTom, copy and paste what I posted | 03:28 |
| _unreal_ | may or may not need sudo: nmap -sP 192.168.100.* and no adding 131 is worng because your giving the full address, you want the computer to search the network for all of the ip addreses which are 192.168.100.xxx 0-255 | 03:29 |
| _unreal_ | so if you leave out the last set of numbers and put the star. then it searches for ALL 0-255 | 03:30 |
| _unreal_ | where as if you put your personal ip its just going to search your personal ip because thats what you told it to do. and the star you added at the end should give a syntex error | 03:30 |

| misterTom | _unreal_? | 03:32 |
| misterTom | Did I goof? | 03:32 |
| spearhead | misterTom, run the command "nmap -sP 192.168.100.*" exactly as I typed it. | 03:33 |
| _unreal_ | misterTom, last time, copy and paste this on the linux computer. and you may or may not need (sudo) at the start: nmap -sP 192.168.100.* | 03:33 |
| _unreal_ | That will return all the possible ip addresses on your network. unless its setup with multi levels of ip addressing | 03:34 |
| _unreal_ | and by possible I mean active registered ip addresses | 03:34 |

| doc-saintly | spearhead: -rwxr-xr-x | 03:58 |
| spearhead | doc-saintly, ok, then it should be starting just fine... can you try booting it back up and trying it again but add the -v tag to your ssh command | 04:00 |
| themusicgod1 | i have a bug in libreoffice, which is presumably somewhat close to some git checkout from the official repo ... I go to the official repo and the bug is not there. Is there any way to find what checkout they pulled to make the package so that I can bisect around there in the original repo to see if the bug is there? | 04:02 |
| themusicgod1 | or should I just wait until they pull a new checkout in utopic(easier) | 04:03 |

| spearhead | doc-saintly, if the web server is not running either it sounds like the server isn't actually booting. You might want to contact the cloud provider. | 04:10 |

| ObrienDave | twain, not sure how to do so in Ubuntu. what are you trying to communicate with? | 04:40 |
| twain | obdii software using wine | 04:40 |
| TJ- | doc-saintly: If you have recovery shell access to mount the root file-system of the installation, first try to identify any firewall in use by examining its "/etc/network/interfaces" file for lines like "iptables-restore </etc/iptables.up.rules" which point you to where the firewall rules are stored. | 04:40 |
| twain | thanks for the response | 04:40 |
| ObrienDave | twain, there are several Win programs that will do that. the name of any escape me now | 04:41 |
| allstarsnorks2 | Hey. How I uninstall the terminal in Xubuntu? I have installed Pantheon, and it came with their own terminal. | 04:41 |
| allstarsnorks2 | *installed Pantheon on Xubuntu | 04:42 |
| twain | i have the win program but cant figure out how to get ubuntu to pas throw | 04:42 |
| doc-saintly | TJ-: don't see anything in there. just pretty blank, auth eth0, etc. | 04:42 |
| TJ- | doc-saintly: Secondly, insert a line into "/etc/rc.local", before the last line that reads "exit 0", that does some logging. e.g. to check if services are listening, or to dump the firewall configuration. Maybe "netstat -tnlp > /var/log/debug.log" and "iptables-save >> /var/log/debug.log" and "ps -efly | grep sshd >> /var/log/debug.log" | 04:43 |
| doc-saintly | TJ-: I see. thanks for the info, but I think i'm just going to start from scratch, learn my lesson and never use this cloud provider again | 04:43 |
| TJ- | doc-saintly: Then if you reboot the VM, give it a while to start, then shut it down, return to the rescue shell and check the contents of that log file that ws written to | 04:43 |
| doc-saintly | TJ-: it takes a long time for me to mount/unmount the disk in order to even view / make changes | 04:44 |
| TJ- | doc-saintly: how do you know its the cloud provider problem though? | 04:44 |
| doc-saintly | TJ-: well, I can think of a bunch of things they could have done to prevent this, but I'm sure there's things I could know that would help me fix it. | 04:45 |
| bjpenn | anyone know how to switch out of guest session in ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| doc-saintly | all I did was apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, shutdown -r, and that broke things good. SO, they should either not put stuff in their repos that will break VMs like that, or allow a more "physical" type connection to their VMs (like VBox gives fake RDP), or show a console log for debugging, OR have a support ticket system without having to pay another $30 on top of the price of the VM | 04:47 |
| bjpenn | the login only allows me to log in using guest | 04:47 |
| doc-saintly | i've done this same thing on another cloud provider and had nowhere near this many problems | 04:47 |

| john_rambo | Suppose I do #ufw allow <port> This opens the port to all IP ranges right ? I want to open the port to only the 172.16.0.0 range ....What is the command for that ? | 05:59 |
| Coded1 | I picked up a cheap VPS that I would like to use as a VPN server. The OS installed is Ubuntu 14.04. I tried removing services I don't need such as postfix, sendmail, apache2 and samba. Once I "apt-get remove --purge" all these packages they are all gone. Now though when I do "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" (as root) apache2, samba and all the other packages I removed get listed to upgrade | 06:01 |
| sargas | audio stopped working on 14.04 after modifying files in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ | 06:02 |
| Coded1 | so now when I upgrade Ubuntu wants to pull in apache2, samba, postfix et al | 06:02 |
| sargas | can someone help me get it back? | 06:02 |
| sargas | if I run pulseaudio I get "E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. | 06:03 |
| sargas | E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. | 06:03 |
| sargas | " | 06:03 |
| Coded1 | sargas: have your tried "sudo apt-get reinstall alsa" ? | 06:03 |
| sargas | Coded1: reinstall doens't seem to be a command | 06:04 |
| sargas | Coded1: did you mean a purge, then an install? | 06:04 |
| Loshki | sargas: try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa | 06:04 |

| cyberpolice | is this purple tint in the dash normal: http://i.imgur.com/R82hsmV.png | 06:05 |
| Loshki | sargas: beats me, did the files in alsa.conf.d change? | 06:06 |
| sargas | Loshki: I have no idea | 06:07 |
| sargas | Loshki: I renamed some files in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ | 06:07 |
| sargas | Loshki: then renamed i back to what it was | 06:07 |
| sargas | Loshki: and now he sound plays on startup (at the login window), but that's it | 06:08 |
| Loshki | sargas: you can always reboot if no-one has a better option. Next time, before you make changes, make a backup copy: cp -r alsa.conf.d alsa.conf.d.bak | 06:08 |
| sargas | Loshki: yeah, just renaming the files didn't prove to be fail-proof | 06:09 |

| cfhowlett | hillary, 13.8??? no such animal. | 06:19 |
| chull | cfhowlett, wonderful. i think he is waiting to get his new system. he can't seem to download and install programs. i was thinking his apt/sources/list needs amending - which the webpage says is better done with synaptic and i can't begin to help - my old gnome desktop is hugely different from his | 06:19 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, anyway, 13.04 and 13.10 are both end of life. time to upgrade. | 06:19 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, sorry. meant that for chull. | 06:20 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade | chull | 06:20 |
| ubottu | chull: 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 | 06:20 |
| hillary | <cfhowlett> sorry sorry 12.10 | 06:21 |
| onkl | lol | 06:21 |
| cfhowlett | chull, not a matter of amending. his OS is no longer supported, including security upgrades. when he goes online, he is vulnerable and exposed - and not the good kind. | 06:21 |
| hillary | <cfhowlett> it is studio 12.10 | 06:21 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, 12.10 ubuntustudio? end of life, but it finds your modem? good. going online without security upgrades - bad. time to upgrade that as well. but : why TWO ubuntus? choose one! | 06:22 |
| hillary | <cfhowlett> so i download 13.04 or 13.10? advice | 06:23 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, neither!!! both those are end of life. current supported versions are 12.04.5 and 14.04.1 | 06:24 |
| onkl | maybe have to install updates sequentially? | 06:24 |
| onkl | or am i confusing things? | 06:24 |
| hillary | I get this error when upgrading packages "subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2" | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, as you're on 12.10, you could 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04 OR (my advice) torrent the 14.04.1 .iso and clean install. | 06:24 |
| onkl | go for the latter | 06:25 |
| cyberpolice | is this purple tint in the dash normal: http://i.imgur.com/R82hsmV.png | 06:25 |
| cyberpolice | yes or no question | 06:26 |
| cfhowlett | cyberpolice, I think it's theme dependent | 06:26 |
| onkl | i bought a used laptop that has a partition on it that i can't read. should i buy a new HD? | 06:27 |
| cfhowlett | onkl, y u no format the HDD? | 06:27 |
| onkl | how to DM? | 06:27 |
| onkl | i haven't been on IRC in years | 06:28 |
| cyberpolice | cfhowlett, i chaned themes from ambience to high conrast, and i still see the same purple tint | 06:28 |
| cfhowlett | onkl, delete the partition and use the HDD IF you are sure you don't need it. windows7 hides the "restore" partition in an unreadable format as I recall. | 06:28 |
| cyberpolice | anyone else on ubuntu 14.04 can confirm their dash is purple tinted? | 06:28 |
| onkl | windows 8, according to the sticker | 06:29 |
| onkl | cyberpolice, my dash isn't purple tinted. | 06:29 |
| cfhowlett | onkl, same difference. probably a windows specific partition. if you have no plans to ever run windows on that machine, nuke it. otherwise save it. can't be more than a few gb in size, right? | 06:30 |
| cyberpolice | wierd. so maybe its my hardware related | 06:30 |
| onkl | 220 MB, which is why i was scared | 06:31 |
| onkl | why can't I read that? | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett | onkl, dude. windows proprietary formatting. | 06:31 |
| onkl | I can nuke that | 06:31 |
| onkl | nuked. and i'm still here. | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | onkl, "I Will Never Run Windows On This Machine" ... sign here and nuke away. | 06:32 |

| cyberpolice | kostkon, oh? someone else said their dash wasnt purple | 06:33 |
| cyberpolice | kostkon, you saw the pic? http://i.imgur.com/R82hsmV.png | 06:34 |

| kudakwashe | gorgath: yeah the amazon thing etc. he went a little over board on tha tone | 06:45 |

| kudakwashe | but i love stallman, i mean, linus torvalds wrote the linux kernel using gcc (which stallman wrote) | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Sachiru: apt-cache search bandwith | 06:46 |
| gorgath | You can compile the kernel with clang now | 06:46 |
| kudakwashe | gorgath: that's true | 06:46 |
| gorgath | and clang is faster than gcc | 06:47 |

| Gatis | I like KDE | 06:50 |
| kudakwashe | something like /join #gnu or /join #fsf or /join #trisquel | 06:50 |
| kudakwashe | perhaps | 06:50 |
| Gatis | KDE is smoothest cleanest DE for Linux :) Also gnome. | 06:50 |
| keplrdelta | Objection! XFCE | 06:51 |
| kudakwashe | Gatis: i like Unity, love it, can't wait to have it on my phone and tv as well ( same goes for my wife) also can't wait for Ubuntu to be completely free ( as in no blobs, proprietary software etc) but it will get there one day | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | kudakwashe, he gone. long troll history | 06:52 |
| aris | unity is good but sometime buggish and heavy | 06:52 |
| kudakwashe | cfhowlett: Gatis is a troll you mean? | 06:53 |
| aris | XFCE is the best for me! | 06:53 |
| lotuspsychje | aris: depends on hardware, also you can tweak unity | 06:53 |
| keplrdelta | I actually really like Unity, but lately Xubuntu has fixed all the problems I had with XFCE, namely compositing without vertical tearing. | 06:53 |
| cfhowlett | kudakwashe, fair to say. gone now. let's all move on. | 06:53 |
| kudakwashe | cfhowlett: I have join/part messages turned off so i can't see when someone comes and goes | 06:53 |
| keplrdelta | Unity works really well, it's totally complete and bug free--like OS X. With Numix theme it's even attractive. I just wish it used half as much RAM. | 06:55 |
| kudakwashe | keplrdelta: buy more RAM, what's wrong with having 16GB of RAM | 06:55 |
| kudakwashe | ? | 06:55 |
| keplrdelta | I can't get that much RAM into my Thinkpad | 06:55 |
| cfhowlett | keplrdelta, what is your RAM? | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: there are other ways to tweak unity go smooth and faster | 06:56 |
| kudakwashe | keplrdelta: use something like xfce then | 06:56 |
| keplrdelta | I am using Xubuntu already. | 06:57 |

| taropalo | Can anyone help me with X/display issue? | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | taropalo: define your problem mate | 06:58 |
| keplrdelta | It's still a bit glitchy. Transitions to login/logout screen, and things aren't smooth. There are ugly flashing and flickering. It's totally usable, but not perfect like Unity. | 06:58 |
| ObrienDave | unity, pfffffft | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: what are your system specs? | 06:59 |
| === p3rtvm is now known as cpbl | ||
| keplrdelta | i5, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD | 06:59 |
| taropalo | login screen stretched and after login going settings manager and changing resolution something else and back then all is good | 06:59 |
| cfhowlett | unity likes ram. That's a known fact. Feed it ram or use an alternative. OR complain, uselessly, about unity's appetite. | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: you should be able to run unity fine on those specs.. | 07:00 |
| taropalo | annoying to fix it with every login | 07:00 |
| keplrdelta | I can absoletly, and have | 07:00 |
| keplrdelta | But it uses too much RAM | 07:00 |
| keplrdelta | I hit swap too much | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: you can install preload, tweak swappiness, use all ssd tweaks | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: fstab tweak for ssd | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | keplrdelta: disable eye candy in compiz settings, etc | 07:02 |
| kudakwashe | if you can't afford enough RAM, then don't use Unity, I can afford a lot of petrol, that's why i bought a guzzler of a sports car, some of the poorer people in my 'hood chose to buy economical fuel savers | 07:02 |
| kudakwashe | because they can't afford the fuel | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | kudakwashe: 4gig ram is enough for unity | 07:03 |
| kudakwashe | lotuspsychje: definately | 07:03 |
| keplrdelta | XFCE is pretty much perfect for me anyway | 07:05 |
| kudakwashe | Ubuntu isn't a religion, i isn't a sin to remove unity and use something else | 07:05 |
| keplrdelta | I just wish there was a file search like Unity | 07:05 |

| ObrienDave | ddv, no one promised you 100% compatibility | 07:14 |
| ddv | lotuspsychje: well 95% won't | 07:15 |

| ikonia | what's it's own way to run games ? | 07:18 |
| lotuspsychje | anyway working times | 07:18 |
| ddv | lotuspsychje: seriously i'm getting a bit tired of try wine bla bla, i'm not blaming linux for this btw, it's because of the marketshare in the desktop space and game developers loving the Microsoft stack | 07:19 |
| ikonia | ddv: I agree with you, the wine/steam option is not realistic | 07:19 |
| ObrienDave | it's about the almighty dollar | 07:19 |
| taropalo | ddv: perhaps not love but paid | 07:19 |
| ddv | valve fears the windows marketplace, the linux push makes sense for them, you have to start somewhere but valve thought a lot of developer would follow, guess what they won't because of the marketshare, alienware dediced to just put windows on their silly steambox because most games don't run on linux and they don't want to wait | 07:22 |

| FailFarm | ddv, :D | 07:27 |
| sargas | ddv: I am trying, it is hard to wrap my mind around pulseaudio, more knowledgeable users seems to have control over it | 07:28 |
| kostkon | sargas, what's the problem exactly | 07:28 |
| sargas | ddv: I'm grateful to the volunteers, they do a great job at making Ubuntu progress | 07:29 |
| sargas | kostkon: When I run a java application in Eclipse, sound stops working | 07:29 |

| kostkon | sargas, so your code crashed. It says "Could not locate OpenAL library." | 07:33 |
| sargas | I believe not | 07:33 |

| sargas | kostkon: it crashed after the first time I ran it. The first time works just fine | 07:33 |
| sargas | kostkon: and some subsequent runs also work | 07:33 |
| sargas | kostkon: but Firefox, or VLC won't have sound until I reboot | 07:34 |

| kanhiay | hi all, i am using ubuntu 14.04 and i have a lenovo b480 dual core laptop. It's dvd drive never created issues on windows but on ubuntu it is ejecting automatically. I reinserted, again ejected. It is happening many times. FInally, i keep it ejected and didn't inserted it. After few minutes, i again inserted, this time DVD Drive didn't ejected. THis happens atleast once after a restart. | 07:46 |
| kanhiay | what can be the problem? | 07:47 |
| kanhiay | there is no problem with the hardware, because it never happened on Windows | 07:47 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: is it a mechanical eject, or a spring loaded ? | 07:47 |
| kostkon | sargas, ok | 07:47 |
| Loopeth | cts | 07:48 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: I am on a laptop. Don't know, what are you talking about | 07:48 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: is the cdrom tray a mechanical one that motors out, or a spring loaded one that pops out | 07:48 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: i can also eject it using right click and eject | 07:48 |
| sargas | kostkon: closed eclipse, Firefox is still freezing when I reload a youtube tab to replay a video | 07:49 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: i think it is mechanical one, | 07:49 |
| kostkon | sargas, did you manage to run pulse though? | 07:49 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: if you can right click it on the desktop that means there is media in it and loaded | 07:50 |
| === cpbl is now known as dt35hj | ||
| ikonia | kanhiay: so it can't be ejecting as you put media in, or the cdrom icon would not diplay | 07:50 |
| ikonia | display | 07:50 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: no, i was talking about Windows | 07:50 |
| sargas | kostkon: no | 07:50 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: what happens if you close the cdrom tray with no media in | 07:50 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: it is ejecting automatically on uBUNTU, | 07:51 |
| kanhiay | whether there is media or not | 07:51 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: that seems very unlikley | 07:51 |
| sargas | kostkon: I think it is because it is already running and has autoreload | 07:51 |
| ikonia | kanhiay: that sounds more like a mechanical fault | 07:51 |
| kanhiay | ikonia: no, i did the same on Windows and it worked fine | 07:51 |

| Vladimir | I've got ubuntu servers, when I logged with ssh on the first one, I type in username and it instantly asks for the password, BUT for the other server after typing the username it wait atleast 10-15 seconds before asking for the password. | 08:19 |
| iptable | cynicallemon, well, I moved to it about 20 minutes ago, so my first impression in comparison to xchat is: ugly. I did like xchat looks. | 08:19 |
| ikonia | Vladimir: reverse dns | 08:19 |
| Vladimir | reverse dns? | 08:19 |
| ikonia | yes | 08:19 |
| Vladimir | so the problem is on the DNS server? | 08:20 |
| ikonia | the problem is the reverse dns lookup is slow | 08:20 |
| iptable | vlad003, ssh by default tries to look up hostname for IP. if you don't have reverse DNS, this happens | 08:20 |
| cynicallemon | iptable: well yeah take a little adjusting, i may go back to irssi :) | 08:20 |
| iptable | Vladimir, ^ | 08:20 |
| iptable | Vladimir, edit ssh(d) configs to disable dns lookups | 08:20 |

| ruby_on_tails | i am trying to create a screencast, but no matter what app or settings i use the screencast is never as good as teh real screen, why? i am using recordmydesktop atm | 08:56 |
| ObrienDave | because your taking a native graphic image and casting it as a JPEG or something with similar compression. it will never look as good as your screen. afaik | 08:58 |
| tonys | hi | 08:59 |
| iptable | cynicallemon, any idea how in hexchat I would filter out "is now known as" | 09:00 |

| iptable | ObrienDave, 2.9.6 | 09:03 |

| ObrienDave | iptable, get 2.10.1 in repos | 09:03 |

| MrChopVG | I got 99 problems but a cooling fan aint one | 09:11 |
| ObrienDave | not as special as cfhowlett ;P | 09:11 |
| MrChopVG | well nevermind i guess it is the problem | 09:11 |

| ObrienDave | only 1650 ;P | 09:15 |
| ObrienDave | ruby_on_tails, i don't know of any screencast software that is 100% accurate. which one are you using? | 09:15 |
| MrChopVG | ObrienDave: Do you control your fan speed? | 09:16 |
| ruby_on_tails | the screenshot is from ffmpeg | 09:16 |
| ObrienDave | nope | 09:16 |

| MrChopVG | ObrienDave: Ahh.. | 09:17 |

| ruby_on_tails | MrChopVG: http://pasteboard.co/4sWasel.png original http://pasteboard.co/4sMRTPz.png video | 09:18 |
| MrChopVG | So apperiantly there is this bug where fan control files are messed up but where it says there is text to be replaced mine is completely different.. | 09:18 |
| cfhowlett | ruby_on_tails, gigo. set your screen resolution as high as you can. plan for some degradation. record and edit. | 09:18 |
| MrChopVG | ruby_on_tails: whydid you send that to me? | 09:19 |
| cfhowlett | ruby_on_tails, as ObrienDave stated; no 100% solution ... but you can still do a creditable job | 09:19 |
| ObrienDave | MrChopVG, where is that file located? | 09:19 |

| MrChopVG | ObrienDave: my laptop has a heating issue and shuts down randomly | 09:21 |
| ruby_on_tails | cfhowlett: what does the source mean in this case? the low resolution? | 09:22 |
| cfhowlett | ruby_on_tails, source media = audio, video, graphic, whatever you're working with. in your case: video. 1024 x 768 is your graphic card max setting? | 09:23 |
| ObrienDave | MrChopVG, a good cleaning, blowing out, vacuuming is probably in order first | 09:23 |
| MrChopVG | ObrienDave: already did that. took it all apart. this laptop is like 5 years old though so it has some issues | 09:24 |
| ruby_on_tails | cfhowlett: 1360*768 is the max i have, the video content is basically the browser, no sound | 09:25 |
| ObrienDave | MrChopVG, i don't understand 'fancontrol' or 'pwmconfig'. i would be very hesitant to suggest anything along those lines | 09:26 |
| cfhowlett | ruby_on_tails, may I suggest "recordmydesktop" app? You can select the screen real estate you want to capture and set video resolution quite easily and intuitively. | 09:27 |
| ruby_on_tails | cfhowlett: i used it, the result is almost the same as the blurred thing you saw. i need the full screen though | 09:27 |

| ObrienDave | RoBo_V, && means continue if previous command was successful | 09:32 |
| MrChopVG | Is shutdown at 90 degrees? | 09:33 |
| cfhowlett | ruby_on_tails, I'm questioning the 1360 number specifically. My screentop resolution goes to 1366x768. I accidentally set 1360 once and it was indeed degraded. thus my suspicion that 1360 is indeed the max. just sayin. | 09:33 |

| VincentD | I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 to be able to play with Docker.io, but I'm running a 32-bit kernel. I'm working on a netbook with a AMD C-70 CPU which should be 64-bit according to lscpu and the fact that I see lm in /proc/cpuinfo. So I've made an AMD64 Kubuntu USB drive and tried to boot it, but it says the kernel image is invalid. Does this mean the download of the ISO was messed up or that my CPU is incompatible? | 10:11 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | VincentD, did you 1. verify the .iso? 2. verify the usb? | 10:12 |
| ubottu | VincentD, did you 1. verify the .iso? 2. verify the usb?: 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 | 10:12 |
| VincentD | cfhowlett: Nope, I didn't. Thanks for the info! | 10:13 |
| cfhowlett | VincentD, happy2help | 10:13 |
| VincentD | cfhowlett: I grabbed the image with wget image ; halt instead of using && last night and the internet connection broke up. 443M was missing. That was pretty stupid, mystery solved ;) | 10:19 |
| cfhowlett | VincentD, torrents. always. IMHO. torrents. | 10:19 |
| ObrienDave | VincentD, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 10:20 |
| cfhowlett | VincentD, because torrents will apply and verify md5sum to each bit as it transfers. much more robust error checking and you can turn on/turn off, start later as needed. | 10:20 |
| VincentD | cfhowlett: I'm working on a hotspot network in France blocking everything but port 80 :S | 10:20 |
| cfhowlett | VincentD, no sympathy. I'm in Beijing. ALL the cool sites are blocked. *but torrents works!* | 10:21 |
| ObrienDave | Ynon, so, what was your Ubuntu wireless support question again, please? | 10:21 |
| vitimiti | Hi | 10:21 |
| VincentD | cfhowlett: Really? I didn't try torrents, but I just figured it wouldn't work. That would be great! | 10:21 |
| Joe_knock | Hello. When I type sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin, it says the latest version is installed, but when I try to access it from localhost, I get a 404. | 10:29 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock, access "it"? | 10:30 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: Access phpmyadmin from the browser. localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock, I'd guess you configured localhost incorrectly | 10:31 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: Perhaps it is worth mentioning that I updated PHP and Apache recently too. They were updated from the PHP ppa | 10:33 |
| * ikonia shakes head | 10:33 | |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock, yeah that's worth mentioning. :) I don't PPA so best I go back to lurking now. | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: what does the apache logs show when you try to hit the page | 10:33 |
| ikonia | I suspect the re-write/re-direct rule for the 2.2 apache package is no longer valid in 2.4 | 10:34 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: How do I check the latest logs? I can't seem to get the latest info from the error log txt file. | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: its a single line, so no need to pastebin | 10:43 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: The error.log file is showing the last error at 1+ hours while I keep hitting refresh on 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/index.php | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:48 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: what are you wanting to use phpmyadmin to achieve? | 10:49 |
| MrElendig | only way to secure phpmyadmin is to not install it in the first place | 10:50 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: I just wanted it for a simple interface to LAMP stack. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MrElendig: or use iptables to only allow certain MAC addresses to connect to it :-) | 10:50 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: no, just no | 10:50 |
| Joe_knock | my /var/www/ shows phpmyadmin there weirdly. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: can't do it via SSH? | 10:51 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: mac filtering just gives you a false sense of security, it is worse than doing nothing | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MrElendig: it's not great but its something | 10:51 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: spoofing the mac is trivial | 10:51 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: Local dev machine here. Not sure I understand the need for SSH here? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MrElendig: but the attacker would need to know the exact mac to spoof | 10:51 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: if you want any kind of security use a vpn if you need to connect to phpmyadmin from the outside world | 10:52 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: that is actually really easy to find | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: configuration of LAMP can be done via SSH | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | MrElendig: its over LAN so "outside world" isn't a factor here | 10:52 |
| MrElendig | ActionParsnip: well, as a general rule: never trust your lan either | 10:53 |
| Joe_knock | I wonder if my Apache conf file is lacking the phpmyadmin include :-/ | 10:53 |
| MrElendig | specially if it is wifi | 10:53 |
| MrElendig | and really, phpmyadmin isn't that usefull in the first place | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: did the guide I gave help? | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MrElendig: it's for lazy users imho | 10:53 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: PHP isn't part of my main stack nowadays, so I need it for convenience sake. | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: I'd ask in #apache , may help too. Are there any recent YouTube videos? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: eg http://youtu.be/WPGCcRxUoOk | 10:59 |
| Joe_knock | I think I have version incompatibilities | 11:00 |
| Joe_knock | Thanks ActionParsnip. I went to the #apache channel now. localhost/phpmyadmin does work now, but it forces me to open a phtml page now. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: did you add a PPA by any chance? | 11:05 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: Yes. I added the PHP PPA to get an updated version of PHP. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: then that will be why | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: the version of phpmyadmin has been tested to work with the version of php in the repos | 11:06 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: So there is definitely conflicts then. | 11:06 |
| Joe_knock | aah, I thought so. | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: with the version made by "some guy online" yes | 11:07 |
| uhlm | how do i review apps in software center ? | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: the one made by the Ubuntu team is known to work....so you may get issues using a different php which we have no knowledge of its compilation | 11:07 |
| Joe_knock | uhlm: You need an account firstly. Then you can write reviews in the software centre itself. | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: if you want to stray from the official repos then results cannot be assured | 11:08 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: I'll try updating phpmyadmin from source. | 11:08 |
| uhlm | Joe_knock: so if i am on Mint i can't? | 11:08 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: Agreed. This issue is definitely self-imposed. | 11:08 |
| uhlm | (unless i get the ubuntu software center= | 11:09 |
| Joe_knock | uhlm: You can :-) Mint uses the same software. | 11:09 |
| Tim100 | is gsmartcontrol tool accurate and good for monitoring hdd? | 11:09 |
| Joe_knock | You can probably install ubuntu software centre on mint too. | 11:09 |

| ActionParsnip | Tim100: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 11:13 |
| dearcarr0t | When I use boot-repair ,I failed to fix my boot menu.Once reboot,it comes the minibash of grub. | 11:13 |
| dearcarr0t | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8298888/ | 11:13 |
| dearcarr0t | Here is the boot-info. | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dearcarr0t: I fix that stuff using chroot from liveCD | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dearcarr0t: omgubuntu has a guide named "sticking it to grub" | 11:14 |
| dearcarr0t | I am just talking with my live CD. | 11:14 |
| Joe_knock | uhlm: It may be possible to rate it online too. | 11:14 |
| dearcarr0t | I followed the steps.But it didn't work. | 11:15 |
| uhlm | dont think so either.. so be it | 11:15 |
| uhlm | thx | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dearcarr0t: bring up the guide, follw the steps | 11:15 |
| dearcarr0t | ActionParsnip: Ifailed many times. | 11:18 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip so this smartmontools accurate ? i mean does it displays correct data regardng hdd? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dearcarr0t: did you mount the Ubuntu system partition? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: yes, whyever would it not? | 11:19 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip i asked because its really small, just 2 mb? | 11:19 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip is it just like gnome disks? | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: it uses libs you already have as well as the kernel | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: don't let install size fool you | 11:20 |
| dearcarr0t | ActionParsnip: I shall have another try and mount the Ubuntu.Thx! | 11:20 |

| ObrienDave | Tim100, you're used to Windows applications, yes? | 11:20 |
| Tim100 | ObrienDave on windows i was using crystaldiskinfo, so it though if this smartmontools is equally good or not, | 11:21 |
| Tim100 | *i | 11:21 |
| Tim100 | thought* | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: if an ap needs lib-a and lib-b and lib-c and you have an app already installed which uses lib-c, why would you need to reinstall and redownload lib-c, its already in place | 11:21 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip i see | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: this saves bandwidth and storage, each lib is also only loaded once into RAM when used but can be accessed by multiple running applivcatioms. This saves RAM | 11:22 |
| Tim100 | its just so small, i will download it and see if it works better | 11:22 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip i see, thanks for the info | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: using shared lib like this allows one update to affect all programs that use it, very efficient | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: windows doesnt use this model much and is wasteful | 11:23 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip is this sufficient to detects even minor hdd faults, like bad sectors, reallocated sects, or a bad spin up time etc? | 11:24 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip i see | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: hdparm may help too | 11:24 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip hdparm? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !info hdparm | 11:25 |
| ubottu | hdparm (source: hdparm): tune hard disk parameters for high performance. In component main, is standard. Version 9.43-1ubuntu3 (trusty), package size 93 kB, installed size 273 kB | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: it has a test feature too | 11:25 |
| Tim100 | ok , i downloaded it and its workinjg fine ,though this gsmartcontrol has test feature too, what;s the difference in this and hdparm then? | 11:26 |
| Tim100 | ActionParsnip also its saying hdparm is already installed on my system | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: different features. ?. | 11:27 |
| Tim100 | ok | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Tim100: then read the man page and use it if it suits your ned | 11:27 |
| Tim100 | does it comes as a default with gsmartcontrol? ActionParsnip | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | Tim100, the main reason windows installs are so large is they place ALL of the files required in the archive for many different versions of windows. hence the file size. | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | in Linux, you only need to D/L what is required to get your app working. shared libraries is what makes the files so small | 11:30 |
| newbsduser | how can i get df -kh output of which disk has biggest size? | 11:30 |

| Tim100 | ObrienDave i see | 11:33 |
| Tim100 | also windows uses registry system,s which are prone to errors | 11:33 |
| ObrienDave | point being, don't let the file size fool you into think the software is inferior. on the contrary, most apps are much more robust and since most code is open source, it can be examined by anyone at anytime | 11:36 |

| karab44 | how to disable specified system keyboard shortcuts on particular app? | 11:37 |
| VincentD | I've just installed Kubuntu 14.04 64-bit. The live USB key works perfect, but when the kernel loads after showing GRUB, I only get static on the screen. How can I debug and solve this? | 11:37 |
| ObrienDave | static? meaning a garbled screen? | 11:39 |
| VincentD | ObrienDave: Yes. Dark in the middle, colored lines to the left and right sides. | 11:40 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, that does not sound like a sync issue | 11:41 |
| ObrienDave | can you upload a photo somewhere so we can see? | 11:42 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:42 |
| ObrienDave | hey BluesKaj | 11:42 |
| BluesKaj | hi ObrienDave | 11:42 |
| karab44 | I have the same shortcuts in my app that's in the Unity. How to disable Unity shortcuts for the time I use the app ? | 11:46 |
| karab44 | is it possible to make active app/window exception? | 11:47 |
| acer | RE | 11:49 |
| karab44 | I don't believe there's no people that use ubuntu for professional purpose | 11:51 |
| k1l | karab44: of course, no one can use ubuntu for professional purpose m( | 11:52 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest73266 | ||
| k1l | karab44: why not change either unitys or "your apps" shortcut? | 11:54 |
| === ImQ009_ is now known as ImQ009 | ||
| karab44 | awwww you're starting to invent | 11:55 |
| vitimiti | I do use it for professional purpose and for free time purposes | 11:56 |
| iptable | there are lots of companies using ubuntu for professional purposes, as server and desktop actually | 11:56 |
| karab44 | I don't want any compromises. I want to have unity shortcuts after I leave my app just right there where they are | 11:56 |
| geudrik | Wait, did he just say that there isn't anyone that uses ubuntu in production? | 11:57 |
| karab44 | I want my app's shortcuts right where they are just when I launch it. It's so simple to understand for anyone who works with tools. | 11:57 |
| karab44 | geudrik: if it's not configurable it's not comfortable then... :/ | 11:58 |
| trijntje | karab44, what do you mean 'apps shortcuts right where they are' ? | 11:58 |
| karab44 | I mean if it's ALT+CTRL+ARROW I want it ALT+CTRL+ARROW | 11:58 |
| geudrik | I think he means that someimes when you launch an app in Unity, the icon in the dock isn't the process that launches (so you end up with with a 'new' icon on top of the one you've locked to the dock). I've seen this happen with programs that utilize their own launcher | 11:59 |
| Ben64 | then you need to change one of those | 11:59 |
| vitimiti | I understand he wants to keep his app's shortcuts and unity's shortcuts, but they interfere, so he wants unity's shortcuts to be disabled when, and only if the app is open. Am I right? | 11:59 |
| geudrik | karab44: that's 100% different than making the statement that nobody uses Ubuntu professionally | 11:59 |
| trijntje | karab44, ok, but some shortcuts are already taken by unity, so applications cant use it unless you disable those | 11:59 |
| k1l | karab44: changing desktop shortcuts doesnt make sense at all. its the app that is having to change the shortcuts | 12:00 |
| karab44 | geudrik: stop arguing please. | 12:00 |
| karab44 | k1l: that's rubbish | 12:00 |
| k1l | geudrik: he was just ranting, because its not all like he lonely wants to have it | 12:00 |
| k1l | karab44: no, that is common sense. | 12:00 |
| trijntje | karab44, why don't you just disable those shortcuts in unity if it bothers you? | 12:00 |
| geudrik | ^ that | 12:00 |
| karab44 | it is not surprising then there's no big apps on ubuntu, sorry but this is true. | 12:01 |
| Ben64 | that makes absolutely no sense | 12:01 |
| geudrik | o.O wat | 12:02 |
| k1l | if you want to (lets say) move a window to a different desktop it makes sense that this shortcut stays the same all the time. and not changes like which app got the focus now or is running. | 12:02 |
| trijntje | karab44, why don't you disable the unity shortcuts you don't like? | 12:02 |
| karab44 | this is a simple thing - add exception for particular app | 12:02 |
| karab44 | trijntje: because I want it damnit | 12:02 |
| k1l | karab44: stop blaming your bad concept on ubuntu. that makes you look not clever and not ubuntu. | 12:02 |
| geudrik | karab44: so do it? change some shortcuts and fix it. | 12:02 |
| karab44 | geudrik: that's rubbish, not a solution | 12:03 |
| trijntje | karab44, ok, then if you want the shortcuts unity uses, don't disable them. | 12:03 |
| Ben64 | this is a simple thing - don't pick existing keyboard shortcuts for your app | 12:03 |
| geudrik | -.- | 12:03 |
| karab44 | I was working with many other systems and such conception was obvious but here I faced a wall. | 12:03 |
| trijntje | karab44, unity has a higher priority for catching keyboard shortcuts then other apps, that makes sense right? Imagine in windows if every app could steal the windows key or ctrl+alt+delete | 12:04 |
| iptable | karab44, you are being rude and agressive. I'm afraid most users are happy with the way things work and can be adjusted, therefore, being the only one out, we have given you workarounds that suit YOUR particular use. | 12:04 |
| geudrik | karab44: to give you the benefit of the doubt, can you try to explain again what your issue is? As clearly as possible | 12:04 |
| Tim100 | is there a way to put desktop icon for an app using terminal? | 12:05 |
| iptable | karab44, and what trijntje said. In other OSes most system shortcuts cannot be 1. adjusted, 2. disabled, 3. controlled, 4. assigned to other uses. This is by design. alt+tab has to work no matter what app is foregrounding if it's configured as windows changer chortcut. | 12:05 |
| trijntje | Tim100, yes, I think alacarte can do that | 12:05 |
| geudrik | Tim100: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182700/how-to-make-a-clickable-terminal-shortcut-on-the-desktop | 12:05 |
| iptable | Tim100, you want to put a shortcut or add icon to a shortcut on the desktop? | 12:06 |
| ObrienDave | nap time. l8rs | 12:06 |
| Tim100 | iptable yes | 12:06 |
| Tim100 | usng terminal though | 12:06 |
| Tim100 | *using | 12:06 |
| geudrik | Tim100: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182700/how-to-make-a-clickable-terminal-shortcut-on-the-desktop | 12:06 |
| iptable | Tim100, which one is it? add icon to existing one, or create new one? | 12:06 |
| geudrik | ^ terminal, use vim/nano/what ever | 12:07 |
| karab44 | iptable: because I was asking about something specific. | 12:07 |
| iptable | karab44, something that is not present in current system because no one else wants it. | 12:07 |
| Tim100 | iptable existing one | 12:07 |
| iptable | Tim100, shortcuts are just simple text files (.desktop extension). You can cat them to see what they look like. Create your own. | 12:07 |
| karab44 | iptable: because there's no maya and 3dsmax users | 12:07 |
| iptable | Tim100, ok, for that, edit the .desktop file and add the "Icon=..." line in the file | 12:08 |
| iptable | Tim100, the Icon= needs to point to absolute path of the icon file (e.g. png file) | 12:08 |
| Tim100 | iptable ok | 12:08 |
| Tim100 | thanks | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | karab44, there are plenty of foss alternatives, but if your mind and heart are set on maya/3dsmax NO ONE is stopping from jumping to windows. do what works for you! | 12:08 |
| iptable | karab44, 3dsmax exists for ubuntu? I thought it's windows app only | 12:09 |
| karab44 | iptable: that's the point | 12:09 |
| vitimiti | Tim100, you can change the icon by right clicking the desktop file -> Properties -> Click on the icon -> Choose the new icon -> Accept | 12:09 |
| Ben64 | maya i know has a linux version, not sure how that relates to the question at hand though | 12:09 |
| maksimkaaa | hello, I am trying to decipher this error after a fresh ubuntu 14 upgrade, googling says it is a hardware issue, but I am not convinced since all other OS'es I installed do not report any issues on boot.. http://pastebin.com/sWuphd5d anyone knows what this means exactly ? | 12:09 |
| enchilado | u/43 | 12:10 |
| === Guest15478 is now known as Locke2002 | ||
| iptable | karab44, to turn things around, if you asked Microsoft to make available launching linux apps on Windows and defining custom windows shortcuts to them, they would laugh at you. Linux has wine, that's true. It also has virtualbox, that's true. for windows 3d software, either use those with thei compatibility issues or boot to windows | 12:10 |
| karab44 | okay, I am a bit dissapointed but first thing I'm gonna do is disabling some unity shortcuts... they simply interferee with my apps :/ | 12:11 |
| Ben64 | karab44: yep, thats the solution | 12:12 |
| karab44 | iptable: what are you talkin about? you run windows on virtualbox | 12:12 |
| iptable | maksimkaaa, most likely bad HD and you just upgraded to a bad sector... run smart tests on hard drive first | 12:12 |
| karab44 | so no matter what it's still windows | 12:12 |
| geudrik | is anyone here running 3.17-rc4 and having issues? Specifically, coming from 3.13.0 on 14.04 | 12:12 |
| iptable | karab44, yes, and I did tell you that this is a possibility. Virtualbox 3d acceleration emulator is far from perfect though. | 12:12 |
| iptable | karab44, if you disable mouse integration in virtualbox btw, 99% of unity shortcuts will no longer work when you are pinned to the VM with your mouse. | 12:13 |
| _1_Jan-Eric | nerds!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 12:14 |
| karab44 | That wasn't on my mind. I meant that if some system is more comfortable for professional users, then there is a reason to make professional apps for it. | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | _1_Jan-Eric, wrong channel. | 12:14 |
| iptable | karab44, that's the sentence you should be taking to 3dsmax inventors, not ubuntu, don't you think? | 12:14 |
| _1_Jan-Eric | no right channel | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | karab44, take it up with the actual producers of such apps. | 12:14 |
| vitimiti | Ubuntu is more confortable for most professional uses IMHO | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | _1_Jan-Eric, this is ubuntu support. ask ubuntu questions. play anywhere else but here. | 12:15 |
| k1l | karab44: you are wrong on this. just ask the makers of that app why they dont support linux in general | 12:15 |
| karab44 | iptable: actually I use Ubuntu/Linux designed apps, talking about 3dsmax or windows apps was something different | 12:15 |
| karab44 | forget about windows apps, forget I said anything about windows, there was something different on my mind. | 12:15 |
| _1_Jan-Eric | oh sorry | 12:16 |
| iptable | karab44, uhm, now you just confused the hell out of the conversation. I am going to bail out of it. | 12:16 |
| Tim100 | i installed vlc player , but i can;t find any icons of it? how do i place a desktop icon of it? | 12:16 |
| vitimiti | If the person who made the Ubuntu app did it in a way that it interferes with Unity, it's more like the app's developer(s) | 12:16 |
| vitimiti | fault* | 12:16 |
| Tim100 | i can only run it from terminal | 12:16 |
| Tim100 | no entries nothing | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | karab44: if you have conflicts with shortcuts, you can change them. why is this still an issue? | 12:16 |
| iptable | Tim100, try to reinstall. | 12:16 |
| k1l | karab44: and that theorteical topic suits better into the #ubuntu-offtopic. iptable vitimiti etc. | 12:16 |
| vitimiti | k1l, you are right | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | karab44, ubuntu studio = xfce +ubuntu. no unity. no shortcut conflicts. | 12:16 |
| iptable | k1l, you do not need to tell me... | 12:17 |
| Tim100 | iptable i installed it from software centre | 12:17 |
| karab44 | Ben64: it's not a solution, ever tried to reprogram all vim shortcuts? It does have no sense at all! | 12:17 |
| Ben64 | karab44: you're not making any sense | 12:17 |
| philinux | Tim100;~ use the dash type in vlc - then pin icon to launcher | 12:17 |
| iptable | Tim100, can you remove and install again? i.e. reinstall? looks like maybe something went wrong. either that, or it hasn't cached properly (yet)? | 12:17 |
| Tim100 | iptable ok | 12:18 |

| cfhowlett | zoundwave, if it's not supported your options are extremely limited. you ****might**** be able to install it to wine or you could try installing virtualbox + windows + drivers | 12:19 |
| Padawan | iptable: ok, i think i got it. gonna take a deep read into the man of it, ty iptable | 12:20 |
| zoundwave | Ahhh. I see. Alright then, thanks cfhowlett. | 12:20 |
| iptable | zoundwave, or browse the web for some 3rd party driver somewhere that might work. alternatively, if it is new, return it. there is only a very limited amount of USB sound cards not discovered on linux. it's strange in itself. | 12:20 |
| iptable | Padawan, no probs. yes. use all the -something switches you require. read through it all | 12:21 |

| Joe_knock | Can anyone explain to me what the function of the /etc/ folder is? | 14:53 |
| ringarin | i successfully installed an application but can't run it since i think i messed up something by installing it with make install prior, how should I go about this ? | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | todakure: then edit /etc/network/interfaces using vi or nano ran as root, the bond is quite simple, use: ifconfig , to see which interfaces to bond | 14:54 |
| todakure | ActionParsnip: I configured but not work fine. not seed the IP´s in the network ( ping fail ) | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | todakure: dis you set routes down the bond? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | *did | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ringarin: what did you compile? | 14:55 |
| Joe_knock | I uninstalled phpmyadmin but it still exists in /etc/phpmyadmin/ | 14:56 |
| ikonia | that is just a directory for config | 14:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | Joe_knock: normally that's where I find configs, official answer can probably be found online | 14:56 |
| ringarin | ActionParsnip, libreoffice , i then removed all the folders i could find with "find / -name libreoffice" then "apt-get install --install-no-recommends libreoffice" on 14.04 | 14:56 |

| Joe_knock | SchrodingersScat, ikonia: Would it be safe to remove this phpmyadmin folder from here? Getting an updated LAMP stack is a nightmare. | 14:57 |
| TJ- | Joe_knock: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ringarin: try renaming ~/.libreoffice it may also be a subfolder under ~/.config | 14:57 |
| todakure | ActionParsnip: route dwon is the slaves NIC ? | 14:57 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: that folder has nothing to do with a lamp stack | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: rename it and test | 14:58 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: if you're removed phpadmin - you cn remove that folder as that is all it's used for | 14:58 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: I strongly suggest you stop messging around with PPA's when you are at this level of understanding | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: +1 | 14:58 |
| TJ- | Joe_knock: when you use "apt-get remove <pkg>" any configuration files are left behind; to remove them too, use "apt-get purge <pkg>" | 14:58 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: use the packages provided by ubuntu | 14:58 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: I use PPAs for other packages, it is just the Apache/PHP problems I'm experiencing. | 14:59 |
| === phuh-alpha is now known as phuh | ||
| ikonia | Joe_knock: that doesn't change anything I've said | 14:59 |
| Joe_knock | aah purge! | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: yes, use ppa-purge | 14:59 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: you appear to not have a basic grasp of how to run a web server, so using unsupported software from external repos is not wise | 14:59 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: I strongly sugget you stop using PPA's and creating problems with it, and use the stable and well supported packages | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: the version of phpadmin is known to work with the other packages in the repos without issue | 15:00 |
| ikonia | (that is also true of all the other PPA's you are using) | 15:00 |
| ringarin | ActionParsnip, there was a ~/.config/libreoffice remaining but seems i am still missing something | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ringarin: if you rename it hen run the application from terminal, is there any output which is useful? | 15:00 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: That's quite a blunt assumption to make. Having issues attaching phpmyadmin to apache is a far-cry from running a server. | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ringarin: why are you compiling LibreOffice anyway? | 15:01 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: asking "how do I read the latest logs" and other such basic questions makes that assumption very real | 15:01 |
| ubone | can you use shared clipboard in vbox for xp guest, does it work? | 15:01 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: This is a dev workstation. Saying I need to know how to read logs is again, not that necessary. But let me not argue. | 15:02 |
| todakure | ActionParsnip: I configure the bonding, equals of the website, chenge the IP number only | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ubone: I believe so, the guys in #vbox will be able to help | 15:02 |

| === gnu is now known as Guest69367 | ||
| ikonia | Joe_knock: being able to understand and manage the platform you are developing on/for is crtial | 15:02 |
| ikonia | more so if you're going to try to move this to production - which will force the use of unsupported packages | 15:02 |
| todakure | ActionParsnip: I need to configure the switch ? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | todakure: as long as it accepts packets from the subnet that your bonded interface is on then its configueed enough | 15:03 |
| ringarin | ActionParsnip, i tought wrong at first (no-java or headless something) ; i went for popping a new vm without the mess left with not using checkinstall | 15:04 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia the conflicts occurred with the existing packages. On a fresh install using more stable packages, it is a different scenario. | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: no they didn't | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: the stable repos do not present conflicts | 15:04 |
| ikonia | conflicts will only occur when you enable 3rd party repos | 15:04 |
| Joe_knock | okay okay ikonia. You win, I'm a noob who knows nothing of linux. | 15:06 |
| ikonia | I'm not interested in winning | 15:06 |
| ikonia | I'm trying to get you to a stable maintainable platform | 15:06 |
| ikonia | if you don't want that and want to struggle on blindly - that's your choice | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: by adding random PPAs you have found online you have generated your own issue, it's that simple | 15:07 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: This is the recommended PPA where the latest releases are provided. I just wanted to upgrade to get better PHP language functionality. | 15:08 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: where is it recommended ? | 15:08 |
| somsip | Joe_knock: ondrej PPA? | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: why you would want to use phpmyadmin is anyone's guess. It will not help you learn your Os and if you start looking after servers that don't have phpmyadmin then you will be stuck | 15:08 |
| Joe_knock | somsip: Yes. that one. | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: a PPA is a PPA. There are no recommended PPAs | 15:09 |
| somsip | Joe_knock: stick to stable. Much safer. I wouldn't (and don't) use PPAs on production servers. And I dev on mirrors for the production servers to keep compatibility. Lessons learned and all that | 15:09 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: I'd like to know where it was recommended so we can look at that please. | 15:10 |
| Joe_knock | somsip: This is my workstation. Should I still use the stable packages on it as well? (I ask sincerely). | 15:10 |
| somsip | Joe_knock: I personally see no point in developing on 5.6 and then having 5.5 production servers. But I work exclusively for a small set of clients so I can chose how flexible I want to be. Which is inflexible, and safe (in brief) | 15:11 |
| ikonia | somsip: which is why I would hire you | 15:11 |
| somsip | ikonia: I'm flattered :) | 15:12 |
| Joe_knock | somsip: Are you currently using a version of PHP higher than 5.3? | 15:12 |
| netlar | Can I use something besides the evolution calendar in the clock menu? | 15:12 |
| somsip | !info php5 | Joe_knock (I'm on 14.04 on official repos) | 15:12 |
| ubottu | Joe_knock (I'm on 14.04 on official repos): php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.3 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB | 15:12 |
| Joe_knock | somsip: On ubuntu 12.04 the latest version is 5.3.1 ... | 15:13 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: is there a problem with 5.3.1 ? | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: in Gnome? | 15:13 |
| somsip | Joe_knock: which is why I upgraded to 14.04, and have migrated all servers I admin to the same. But this is getting OT here... | 15:13 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: No, in Unity | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: that is the question people never actually think about | 15:14 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: Languages get updated because they sometimes contain flaws/security risks. | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: but you don't know | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: you just want the bigger number | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: you're aware that security issues are fixed and backported | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: then yes it is Gnome. Unity is nothing more than a plugin for Compiz. When you use Unity. The desktop is Gnome. | 15:14 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: Your assumptions are killing me buddy. | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: hence why businesses like Redhat can support a PHP platform for 12 years | 15:14 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: Ok, did not know that | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: considering 12.04 is supported til 2017, don't you think it would get an update if there were security risks? | 15:15 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: So can I use a different clock or not use Evolution in the clock/calendar | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: think about it.... | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: let me search | 15:16 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: Thank you | 15:16 |
| Joe_knock | ActionParsnip: Agreed. But I'm also curious to know why 14.04 has 5.5.9 and 12.04 has 5.3.1? | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: because it's a later version | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: so it bumps the version to match the release and support cycle | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: what do you want to replace it with? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: you are looking at version numbers too much. If he version you have does what you need, why would you want a later version. It gains you nothing | 15:18 |
| netlar | Not sure, but I use soemthig else for my calendar appointments, do not want to have evolution connected in the clock | 15:18 |
| netlar | Not sure that makes sense | 15:18 |
| === tgm4883_ is now known as tgm4883 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: instead of thinking you just saw a later version number and bulldozed it in without any thought at all | 15:19 |

| netlar | ActionParsnip: I know I am not explaining myself clearly | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_knock: I'm pretty sure the maintainers of the PHP packages for Ubunu are far more aware of security issues in PHP than you are, and if there is a problem or bug, the version will be pathed or upgraded as needed | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: I see, let me search | 15:21 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: do you use evolution? | 15:22 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: I do not, I use Sunrise Calendar from the Chrome Application | 15:22 |

| EiriksUbuntu | I am still having grub issues :-( grub on my usb flash is the one that is actually loading my usb hdd, i need the one on the hdd to read | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: should be yes, you can tell apt-get to do a test / dry run to see what will happen | 15:25 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: Never done that, a dry run with apt-get | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ilithium: could tel the host to nmap the IP of the guest every 2 minutes or so and when it sees samba, mount it and stop | 15:27 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: I am looking at Evolution, maybe I can just disable one of the plugins | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: man apt-get ;) | 15:27 |
| ikonia | or just use netfs/automount | 15:27 |
| TJ- | EiriksUbuntu: The boot-loader used is controlled by the System's BIOS/Firmware boot device order | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: can netfs/automount poll for a filesystem like that? | 15:28 |
| ikonia | you don't poll for it | 15:28 |
| ilithium | ActionParsnip: that's an interesting idea. Could you give me a pointer on this? I've had a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and I've a feeling this won't work if the VM stops and starts. Am I correct/ | 15:28 |
| ikonia | you request it on demand, if it is not available it will fail saying "unavailable" if it is available, it will mount it | 15:29 |
| ikonia | I think there is also a gvfs module that can do it | 15:29 |
| VincentD | I've installed Kubuntu 14.04 64-bit and altough it works fine from the live USB, booting from disk gives a black screen with purple lines on both sides.

| EiriksUbuntu | TJ- that's what I'm trying to fix | 15:31 |
| TJ- | EiriksUbuntu: So, to fix that, boot into Ubuntu, remove the USB flash device, identify the name of the disk you want to boot from (e.g. /dev/sdb), then do "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb" followed by "sudo update-grub" | 15:32 |
| helmut__ | hi | 15:32 |

| fahmad | or any other alternative to block bittorrent | 15:33 |

| sinetek | ElizaNakamoto: hello | 15:48 |
| ElizaNakamoto | sinetek: Please tell me what's been bothering you. | 15:48 |
| sinetek | ElizaNakamoto: Emacs. | 15:48 |
| ElizaNakamoto | sinetek: Please go on. | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | qstrahl: it will pin the version of the package so updates dont touch it, nothing to do with the version of Ubuntu | 15:48 |
| VincentD | ActionParsnip: I've let the installer install updates just a few hours ago. | 15:48 |
| MonkeyDust | qstrahl try: sudo apt-mark hold firefox | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | VincentD: Quantal is EOL and no longer supported | 15:49 |
| k1l | sinetek: dont bring bots in here, thanks | 15:49 |
| qstrahl | Is marking the same as pinning? | 15:49 |
| TJ- | EiriksUbuntu: Better to describe it in channel so everyone can help; I may not always be able to give you my attention | 15:49 |

| sinetek | lol | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !pin | qstrahl | 15:49 |
| ubottu | qstrahl: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 15:49 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | for some reason once in a while my ubuntu server has a random jump in resource usage and all connections time out. I would like to find what process is causing this | 15:50 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | what software would I use? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MDTech-us_MAN: ntop or htop | 15:51 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 15:51 |
| ikonia | MDTech-us_MAN: how do you know it has a random jump in resouces ? | 15:51 |
| VincentD | ActionParsnip: I mean I updated from 13.10 to 14.04 which I then nuked and installed a fresh 14.04.1 which is trusty. | 15:51 |
| === solid is now known as Guest87685 | ||
| ActionParsnip | VincentD: cool :-) | 15:51 |
| Guest87685 | is it possible to block reverse ssh tunneling process? It turns out that I can connect to a remote host, but my remote port listening fails? | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | still 32 bit ? | 15:51 |
| qstrahl | So is pinning or holding the right tool for this job? | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | qstrahl: yes, then when updates run, the package wont be updated | 15:52 |
| EiriksUbuntu | sorry for the bomb, didn't mean to | 15:52 |
| === Guest87685 is now known as cylonmath | ||
| VincentD | ActionParsnip: Should I try to chroot into into it from the live USB to do an upgrade, just to be sure. Safe mode is also unusable. | 15:52 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ikonia, I have a small IRCd on it and all connections to it time out (not refused) for 5 minutes | 15:52 |
| cylonmath | is it possible to block reverse ssh tunneling process? It turns out that I can connect to a remote host, but my remote port listening fails? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | VincentD: could help. Newer packages etc | 15:52 |
| qstrahl | ActionParsnip, I'll rephrase; which is the right tool for this job -- pinning, or holding? | 15:53 |
| qstrahl | pinning xor holding, if you prefer | 15:53 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ActionParsnip, does that sun in the background? | 15:53 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | *run | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | qstrahl: pinning as far as I know is the right terminology | 15:53 |
| qstrahl | Okay, thank you | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MDTech-us_MAN: it runs in the foreground in a terminal | 15:54 |
| TJ- | EiriksUbuntu: so /dev/sdb1 is the root file-system on the USB hard disk? | 15:54 |
| EiriksUbuntu | i assumed so? | 15:54 |
| Baako_ | hi guys i just recently install 14.04 LTS but lately when i turn on the computer. the login screen disappear | 15:54 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ActionParsnip, I need somethign that runs in the background and records it to a file or something | 15:54 |
| adu | Why was /etc/update-motd.d/99-footer deleted between v12 and v14? | 15:55 |
| TJ- | EiriksUbuntu: So it looks like "/boot/" is in the root file-system, therefore no problem with that. If you've done the 2 commands I recommended it should be good to go | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Baako_ i had that too,move the mouse offscreen, then drag to the rright, the menu will follow | 15:55 |
| Baako_ | it aint working | 15:55 |
| Baako_ | its just blank with the default ubuntu screen | 15:55 |
| Baako_ | colour | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Baako_ "aint"? well, try some more | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MDTech-us_MAN: you could cron an execution of htop with one iteration to output to a text file, you ncan then analyse it | 15:56 |
| qstrahl | I don't think I understand pinning. It seems to rely on specifying a ubuntu version ("intrepid", "hardy", etc) for a package and by some voodoo concealed from me knowing what version of the package you'll get out of that | 15:56 |
| qstrahl | My problem is I have firefox 32 and I want firefox 31 | 15:56 |
| Baako_ | how can i do something is i cant even see the mouse pointer | 15:56 |
| adu | "dpkg -L base-files" lists "/etc/update-motd.d/99-footer" in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but not in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Why? | 15:56 |
| k1l | Baako_: is it 2 monitor setup? | 15:57 |
| Baako_ | k1l yes bro | 15:57 |
| k1l | so move the mouse to the monitor that it is active | 15:57 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ActionParsnip, is there another way? | 15:57 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I would like to only get output when levels are critical | 15:57 |
| TJ- | adu: see the changlog entry | 15:58 |
| Baako_ | k1l i cant see the mouse pointer and i have move the mouse and still nothing. It just the orangey ubuntu colour on both screen and nothing else | 15:58 |
| adu | TJ: where would I find it? | 15:58 |
| qstrahl | Regarding pinning: "The first thing described is Pinning, this is useful if you want only some things from a newer version of Ubuntu. There is also package holding, which allows you to not update the package." | 15:59 |
| qstrahl | That definitely sounds like not what I'm after. | 15:59 |
| TJ- | adu: "apt-get changelog base-files" and see 7.2ubuntu2 | 15:59 |
| adu | TJ-: thanks :) | 16:00 |
| Baako_ | k1l any ideas? | 16:01 |
| M4nN3Rrz | Does anyone know how to control the background used by unity *lock* screen (not login)? Mine is "stuck" and wont update on desktop wallpaper change.. | 16:01 |
| goodin | TJ- it works great, thanks | 16:01 |
| M4nN3Rrz | poked around dconf but there only seems to be settings for login screen | 16:02 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | any ideas? | 16:02 |
| === goodin is now known as EiriksUbuntu | ||
| TJ- | goodin: Errr... great but what did I do!? | 16:02 |
| k1l | Baako_: well. it works for my 2 monitor setup. maybe see xorg.log or dmesg to see what is wrong | 16:02 |
| TJ- | aha! :D | 16:02 |
| EiriksUbuntu | ^^ oops | 16:02 |
| EiriksUbuntu | lol | 16:02 |
| mani3q | Hello, I want to encrypt my home dir after instalation. Does anybody knows any disadvantages of creating an encrypted Luks container mounted with libpam-mount instead of encrypting the home partition? | 16:02 |
| * TJ- was confusulated | 16:02 | |
| EiriksUbuntu | Now I just want to get that startup faster | 16:03 |
| Baako_ | k1l i force shutdown and now i got the login screen | 16:03 |
| qstrahl | I have version 32 of firefox. I need version 31 of firefox instead. Can I tell the package manager to install specifically version 31? Pinning does not seem to do this, holding only seems to prevent further updates. | 16:03 |
| Joe_knock | ikonia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy | 16:03 |
| Baako_ | am trying to go on playonlinux | 16:03 |
| EiriksUbuntu | i still have a purple bordered screen show up before it boots | 16:03 |
| adu | TJ-: the changelog says "remove /etc/update-motd.d/99-footer, no longer needed with current Debian update-motd.d handling" | 16:03 |
| TJ- | mani3q: ecryptfs lets attackers know the directory and file structure; LUKS/dm_crypt is the entire block device. | 16:03 |
| TJ- | adu: So now you know :) | 16:03 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: why are you sending me that ? | 16:04 |
| Baako_ | now my mouse aint working k1l | 16:04 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Baako_ do they have a DayZ for linux yet? | 16:04 |
| adu | TJ-: but it _is_ needed, because now /etc/motd.tail is no longer added | 16:04 |
| k1l | Baako_: there seems to be a lot wrong on your system. see the logs | 16:04 |
| Joe_knock | A point of reference when you choose to engage others with the point of helping them, ikonia | 16:04 |
| Baako_ | k1l the keyboard any working as well | 16:04 |
| ikonia | Joe_knock: what are you on about ? | 16:04 |
| EiriksUbuntu | brb | 16:05 |
| Baako_ | EiriksUbuntu dont think so | 16:05 |
| mani3q | TJ-: I guessed that I will avoid encryptfs in this way. I preallocated a file using DD and used luksFormat, it is still encryptfs? Am I missing something? | 16:05 |
| k1l | Joe_knock: that is totally offtopic and offending. so keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. thanks | 16:06 |
| _0tom_ | whats the command in 14.04 to generate a grub.cfg?? | 16:06 |
| k1l | _0tom_: sudo update-grub | 16:06 |
| Joe_knock | k1l: It was in reference to a previous scenario, which I found offensive. Please follow the thread before picking sides. | 16:06 |
| _0tom_ | k1l: thanks! | 16:07 |
| _0tom_ | ActionParsnip: fyi in case you were curious i managed to chroot to my system partition and install grub so were all good.. screw lilo :) | 16:07 |
| axxdax | aaa | 16:08 |
| adu | TJ-: how do I make /etc/motd.tail added to the motd on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? | 16:08 |
| TJ- | adu: If there's an "/etc/motd.tail" should that not now be generated from a script in "/etc/update-motd.d/" directly, or add a script to include it if it is needed? | 16:08 |
| adu | TJ-: I think I'll just add 99-footer from 12.04 | 16:09 |
| netameta | how do i give execute permission to a certain file ? | 16:10 |
| k1l | netameta: chmod +x filename | 16:10 |
| TJ- | mani3q: You've lost me; to have a /home/$USER/ mounted from an encrypted block device at log-in you'll need to have some additional PAM scripting foo going on to unlock and mount that block device so the home directory contents can be seen by the shell | 16:10 |
| netameta | k1l thanks | 16:10 |
| mattxtn | I just noticed I don't have a swap. I have 8gb of ram, do I even need a swap? | 16:11 |
| EriC^^ | mattxtn: do you want to hibernate? | 16:11 |
| EiriksUbuntu | silly question, but how do i load a script on room join | 16:11 |
| mattxtn | Nah, just suspend. | 16:11 |
| TJ- | adu: something like "/etc/update-motd.d./99tail" with "[ -r /etc/motd.tail ] && cat /etc/motd.tail" ? | 16:11 |
| EriC^^ | mattxtn: don't need it most likely | 16:12 |
| mattxtn | thanks Eric^^ | 16:12 |
| EriC^^ | np | 16:12 |
| k1l | mattxtn: i dont have a swap with 8gb ram and no intention to hibernation | 16:12 |
| EiriksUbuntu | i want to load my text-to-speach script whenever i join this channel how do i do that? | 16:12 |
| adu | TJ-: that's exactly what was in 99-footer | 16:12 |
| k1l | EiriksUbuntu: what sort of script? most channels dont want automatically stuff to be run | 16:12 |
| adu | anyways, thanks for the help | 16:13 |
| EiriksUbuntu | k1l it's a text to speech script | 16:13 |
| mani3q | TJ-: thats right, maybe I will try to describe what I want to do, create a big container in /home/user.bin, format it with cryptsetup luksFormat, and configure it with libpam-mount so it will be mounted when the user enters its password | 16:13 |
| mattxtn | thanks k1l | 16:13 |
| adu | TJ-: I guess another option is to add a line to /etc/pam.d/login with motd=/etc/motd.tail | 16:14 |
| mani3q | TJ-: I don't want to encrypt the whole /home partition, so I'm asking if my idea is worth and safe | 16:14 |
| EiriksUbuntu | I like to have it running in workspace 4 | 16:15 |

| MarcGuay | Hi folks. I had a network share working between 2 ubuntu PCs on the same wireless working flawlessly. It no longer works. I have since plugged one of the PCs into the router via ethernet, seems to be the only change worth mentioning. Any ideas? | 16:23 |
| EiriksUbuntu | what is the irc command to start a script on joining a channel? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | EiriksUbuntu: there is no irc command | 16:24 |
| TJ- | mani3q: That would work, and gives a per-user encrypted block device, but I'd do something like that using an LVM logical volume rather than a file in an existing file-system which needs to be loop-mounted | 16:24 |

| Baako_ | k1l NVIDIA corporation c77 geforce 8200 | 16:47 |
| Baako_ | using NVIDIA binary driver version 331.38 from nvida-331 (proprierary) | 16:48 |
| macwebguy | mutantkeyboard: I've got windows on bootcamp on my mini and I noticed it started booting a lot slower, seemed to hang for a while and then finally booted. I wonder if they changed something... | 16:48 |
| k1l | Baako_: why that and not the nvidia-current? | 16:49 |
| Baako_ | k1l which one is the current one? | 16:49 |
| k1l | 304 | 16:49 |
| Baako_ | k1l which 304? | 16:49 |
| k1l | Baako_: just remove the nvidia driver you got completly and try the "nvidia-current" package from the official ubuntu repo | 16:50 |
| CarlFK | ubuntu-server - what do I install so that when I plug in a usb drive it gets mounted under /media just like -desktop does? | 16:50 |
| mutantkeyboard | @macwebguy ... exactly the same problem, only Linux is the secondary system. If I start it first time I see the refind menu, but as soon as I start OS X and turn the machine off, I'm stuck with holding option key to get boot options | 16:50 |
| mutantkeyboard | and is much slower | 16:50 |
| Baako_ | k1l how do i do it? | 16:50 |
| k1l | Baako_: how did you install that driver? | 16:51 |
| Baako_ | k1l i didnt i think it already done when i install uuntu 14.04 | 16:51 |

| k1l | after that reboot and see if its ok with the free driver. (which should be). then you could install the "nvidia-current" package | 16:56 |

| loa | TJ-, you tried phc-patch? | 17:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Felix12 or sudo init 6 <-- to restart | 17:55 |

| MonkeyDust | Felix12 sudo shutdwon -h now <-- all lowercase | 17:56 |
| loa | guzzi_jones, i think my system can't produce such information. i tried sensors command, there are only limited temp information. | 17:56 |

| antivirtel | hello all! how can I install directly MATE desktop with Ubuntu 14.04? I've found a build for Ubuntu 14.10 - but I want the LTS... is it available from alternate installer for example? | 18:45 |
| antivirtel | (I don't e | 18:45 |
| antivirtel | even want to install Unity or anything else, just MATE) | 18:45 |
| Beldar | antivirtel, mate is in the 14.04 repos, and supported here. | 18:46 |
| MonkeyDust | streulma i found this on a ubuntumac page: pm-is-supported --suspend && echo "suspend is supported" || echo "suspend is not supported" | 18:47 |
| antivirtel | it is ok, I know it - but what if I want to install it directly at installion time Beldar - I don't want unity or anything else | 18:47 |
| Beldar | antivirtel, Use a mini net-install, you choose the desktop. | 18:48 |
| antivirtel | ok, thanks Beldar! BTW, does any Inter processor support amd64 architecture? I'm confused | 18:49 |
| Beldar | antivirtel, I'm not sure on your question. | 18:51 |

| Unhammer | playing around with lightdm greeters, I wanted to try the "lightdm --test-mode", but it gives a black screen and "Failed to get D-Bus connection" – anyone know how to fix? | 18:54 |
| Unhammer | (that is, the xephyr window is just black) | 18:54 |
| squinty | Wiz_KeeD, might want to give the following (or similar tutorials) a read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what software ? | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I don't understand the question | 18:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, supervisor, a python subproccess manager, use that in order to run a program instead of using .rc's | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why would you do that ? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: and what do you mean by "rc's" ? | 19:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | because it has a xml-rpc interface to start/restart subprocceses, it also re-initiates proccesses that died (more info on the main page) | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what's wrong with upstart ? | 19:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://supervisord.org/introduction.html#overview | 19:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | allegedly | 19:01 |
| ikonia | again why would you want this over upstart ? | 19:02 |
| ikonia | why would you want to replace the core process manager that is developed/tested/fully supported by many people for something specific that offers you no real advantage, and someone with your level only danger and risk and make your machine unsupportable ? | 19:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I am still testing around and that's why I'm asking | 19:04 |
| ikonia | I don't understand any benifit it would give you | 19:04 |
| ikonia | I cannot grasp why you would want to change the core init system of your machine ? | 19:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Well I trust your opinion and I'm glad I asked | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | some users like to live dangerously hoping you will rescue them when they muck things up , ikonia | 19:04 |
| ikonia | it's totally up to you, my opinion matters not, but I cannot grasp why you would even give this more than 10 seconds thought | 19:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | My issue is that I want a cetralized location from where to check the availability of a proccess running and send start/stop/restart signals | 19:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's pretty much it | 19:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you have that - it's called upstart | 19:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so from my machine I can execute these commands on another machine without logging in with ssh and everything? | 19:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: every init system in the last 15 years has done this, unless I don't understand what you want | 19:05 |
| ikonia | ahhh so a huge security hole | 19:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :) | 19:06 |
| ikonia | there are many cerntal managemant systems | 19:06 |
| ikonia | you don't need to change init for that | 19:06 |
| === i4saken_ is now known as i4saken | ||
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: how many machines do you manage ? | 19:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now there are 3, possibly more in the future, and I only require this for one particular proccess | 19:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you are considering a central management tool for 3 machines and to manage 1 process, that makes no sense | 19:07 |
| ikonia | a local shell script would take 2 minutes to write and do that | 19:07 |
| tgm4883 | ikonia: +1 | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's about doing this at a push of a button that I can integrate it in a python script | 19:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If i knew what I was doing I wouldn't be here asking for help | 19:08 |
| tgm4883 | Wiz_KeeD: why do you want to restart that particular process, under what circumstances? | 19:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you can do it in a script in 10 minutes | 19:08 |
| tgm4883 | if you mean when it dies, then upstart handles that easily | 19:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok then I have to look into that I guess | 19:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | but I might want to stop/restart on certain ocasions | 19:10 |
| ikonia | research the tools you have before looking for tools | 19:10 |
| tgm4883 | Wiz_KeeD: like what occasions? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: 2 minute shell script to do "on demand" | 19:10 |
| ikonia | changing the init system on 3 machines so you can start a process.......not a good move | 19:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | right | 19:12 |

| EriC^^ | Felix12: are you using shutdowm ? | 19:40 |
| EriC^^ | or shutdown ? | 19:40 |
| peterrooney | Felix12: Yes it is. sudo shutdown -h now | 19:40 |
| TJ- | Sep 09 18:54:51 <MonkeyDust> Felix12 ok, then try this: open a terminal and type sudo shutdown -h now | 19:40 |
| stvnwst | I don't know why this happens, but it's clearly a security flaw that I would like to address | 19:40 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: what is a security flaw? | 19:40 |
| Felix12 | Yes | 19:41 |
| Felix12 | But it says is not installed | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | Felix12: shutdowm or shutdown? | 19:41 |
| tgm4883 | Felix12: yes is not a valid answer to that question | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | ( cause you mispelt it twice ) | 19:41 |
| vn | back in the days, I used remastersys to build custom livecds, whats the actual methods now? I want ubuntu + one software setupped | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | Felix12: notices the n vs the m at the end of the word | 19:42 |
| stvnwst | Logging into a SSH server without prompting for a password and automatically logging you into a machine | 19:42 |
| Felix12 | I try sudo shutdowm now | 19:42 |
| EriC^^ | oh, man | 19:42 |
| EriC^^ | that's man not mam | 19:42 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 19:42 |
| Felix12 | But it doesnt work | 19:43 |
| EriC^^ | rofl | 19:43 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: I'm still not following, you set it up to log in with key based authentication, then you want it to not allow other logins? | 19:43 |
| stvnwst | I might have to switch linux distributions, if this cannot be resolved | 19:43 |
| TJ- | Felix12: Are you being deliberately obtuse? We've told you many times now you have a typing error, the command is "shutdown" not "shutdowM" | 19:43 |
| squinty | Felix12, shutdowN it is an N not an M at the end | 19:43 |
| stvnwst | I have a key that I use to authenticate to a SSH server, and this key contains a passphrase, but once the passphrase is entered once, I can log into the same server repeatedly without a passphrase | 19:44 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: ah ok | 19:44 |
| Felix12 | O ok i am going to try shutdown | 19:44 |
| stvnwst | Sorry for not specifying those details | 19:45 |
| TJ- | stvnwst: You have ssh-agent running. Disable it. | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: that makes more sense, so I would assume that seahouse has a timeout for that | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | or what TJ- said | 19:45 |
| stvnwst | I would assume Seahorse would have that, but my current session has been running for about two days, and password-less authentication is still possible | 19:46 |
| Delta706 | I have a bug on launchpad. Is there anything I can/should do to maximize chances of it being not abandoned? | 19:46 |

| d3kk | where can I do this? | 19:49 |
| stvnwst | tgm4883: My Google-fu doesn't seem to be effective, today. Thank you! | 19:49 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: that might not be valid for 14.04, I wonder if you can just remove ssh-agent | 19:49 |
| tgm4883 | stvnwst: thanks goes to TJ- I didn't know the name of the program doing it "ssh-agent" | 19:49 |
| k1l | Felix12: what is your actual issue? not shutting down? | 19:49 |
| Felix12 | Yes | 19:50 |
| stvnwst | Oh, okay. This article is rather recent, though, so it just might work. | 19:50 |
| k1l | and before that? starting with a black screen? | 19:50 |

| Timoty | Hi everyone here | 19:50 |
| stvnwst | I've never had this issue with other distros in the past, so this caught me by surprise. | 19:50 |
| squinty | d3kk, type in your exact problem and if someone can help they will reply | 19:50 |
| d3kk | I've installed 14.04.1 x64 and I have 2 drives: an ssd (ubuntu) and a HDD 1TB for data the problem is that the ssd is GPT but the data drive is MBR... | 19:51 |
| Felix12 | Man i cant turn off my ubuntu that is my problem | 19:51 |
| ryan_46 | Felix12: type sudo shutdown -h now in a tty | 19:51 |
| rkdemon | TJ-: THere isn't a /var/log/Xorg.x.log | 19:51 |
| k1l | Felix12: "sudo shutdown -hP now" and keep in mind that its important if you use BIG or small letters. | 19:52 |
| squinty | Felix12, I have an old box that does that with ubuntu based distro's.... never did find out a solution. | 19:52 |

| libreman | Guys would you recommend Ubuntu Advantage Standard Desktop for single user ? | 19:53 |
| k1l | Felix12: is there another issue? like a kernel panik or something? | 19:53 |
| d3kk | can I change the data drive's partition table from MBR to GPT without dataloss? | 19:54 |
| stvnwst | Thanks for the link, TJ-! I'm wondering if I should report this myself, as I'm running 14.04 and this bug still occurs | 19:54 |
| k1l | libreman: "ubuntu advantage standard desktop"? | 19:54 |
| squinty | TJ: yes, tried various solutions but nothing seemed to work. (should look into it again though as it was a couple of years ago that I was trying to resolve the problem). rainy day project. :) | 19:54 |
| libreman | k1l, what all is included in that package? also it is more expensive than a windows license | 19:55 |

| chrisss123456 | EriC^^: thats odd, it seems to just stick... | 20:01 |
| ChogyDan | ok new question, is there a way that I can get an ISO with an old kernel on it? I'm trying to install on an old computer, and I keep getting a kernel panic. OR anyone know how I can install a graphical desktop environment, but have it default to booting to the command line, and have some way for me to initiate the DE? Again, because of the kernel panic | 20:01 |
| chrisss123456 | Delta706: i change the directory to mine. they're user specific. but that shouldnt change anything... :/ | 20:02 |
| ChogyDan | rksvy: are you installing a display, and hoping it will work? | 20:02 |
| rksvy | TJ-: you were helping me and then I lost connection.. I might have missed something | 20:02 |
| chrisss123456 | EriC^^: so it just stays, and i end up ctrl-c -ing it, since its not doing anything... | 20:02 |
| rksvy | ChogyDan: Yes I am trying to install Xvfb and hoping and praying for it to work.. | 20:03 |
| chrisss123456 | EriC^^: ignore that stupidity, of course its just searching. but its taking a very long time. | 20:03 |

| jhutchins | levo: This is one of the reasons there isn't an upgrade path from 32b to 64b. It's not that simple. | 20:08 |
| rksvy | Does anyone have a preferred or recommended way of starting a disply on a headless server? | 20:08 |
| d3kk | so the problem is with gdisk to convert MBR disk to GPT | 20:08 |
| d3kk | it says that will be destructive | 20:08 |
| jhutchins | levo: What you can do is restore the old /etc tree to somewhere on the new system, then compare config files using diff. | 20:08 |
| levo | jhutchins: but i pasted my home folder , is it bad too? | 20:08 |
| rksvy | I am not asking to ask but I seriously believe there have to be others who must be running displays on headless servers often.. | 20:09 |
| jhutchins | levo: A lot of them will be the same. Some will have critical differences that could kill your system. | 20:09 |
| levo | jhutchins: home folder?? | 20:09 |
| k1l | rksvy: what do you mean exactly? ssh x forward? | 20:09 |

| d3kk | I don't have windows anywhere because I've formatted the SSD where was the win installed and I installed Ubuntu on it but it is GPT and the other HDD is MBR somewhere I read that it can be problem | 20:34 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: What app? | 20:34 |
| Ben64 | d3kk: well you need windows to solve this problem | 20:34 |
| iampaul83 | its an application that was developed by a developer | 20:34 |
| d3kk | Ben64: why? | 20:35 |
| iampaul83 | its not on package | 20:35 |
| jhutchins | Ben64: WHat do you propose the problem actually is? Fast Startup only affects windows, it has no effect on Linux. Failure to turn it off causes the Windows partition to become corrupt. | 20:35 |
| iampaul83 | if i do exec nameofapplication -D it works | 20:35 |
| iampaul83 | but then i cant close out of the ssh session | 20:36 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: All applications were developed by the developers. | 20:36 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins: its a win8 partition, likely has hibernate data or something else that may need a good chkdsk'ing | 20:36 |
| d3kk | why I have to reinstall that damn sys after I decided to change to ubuntu | 20:36 |
| mechanicalduck | anyone? | 20:36 |
| mechanicalduck | Is overlayfs already in Ubuntu kernel? | 20:36 |
| iampaul83 | yes i know but its custom application | 20:36 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: Do you mean you can't exit the ssh session, or that the program dies if you do? | 20:37 |
| iampaul83 | yes | 20:37 |
| jhutchins | Ben64: Linux would have no problem deleting/overwriting it. | 20:37 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins: incorrect | 20:37 |
| tgm4883 | Ben64: uh, are you suggesting that only windows can deal with GPT? | 20:37 |
| iampaul83 | i tried to create a script and create a file in /etc.init.d/nameofapp | 20:37 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: That was an either/or question. | 20:37 |
| Ben64 | tgm4883: no... | 20:37 |
| Delta706 | mechanicalduck: have you tried mounting? | 20:38 |
| shadaloo | hey TJ- | 20:38 |
| jhutchins | Ben64: The only thing about Win8 partitions that Linux can't handle is the filesystem (specifically resizing). It can handle GPT just fine. | 20:38 |
| iampaul83 | ok is there any documentation on ubuntu on how to run an application at boot up | 20:38 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins: this has nothing to do with gpt | 20:38 |
| jhutchins | Ben64: dd will overwrite anything, it doesn't care. | 20:38 |
| shadaloo | screen froze, i took a photo of your response, and then got kicked out to tty1 | 20:38 |
| shadaloo | so you suggest I run memtest86? | 20:39 |
| Ben64 | also has nothing to do with dd, you should read the scrollback | 20:39 |
| d3kk | so what I have to do to access my files on an MBR 1TB HDD with ntfs filesystem in ubuntu? | 20:39 |
| jhutchins | Ben64: My point is that Linux doesn't have any problem getting rid of Win8 partitions. | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | Ben64: d3kk if you got rid of windows, why are we mounting NTFS drives? (out of curiosity) | 20:39 |
| iampaul83 | jhutchins are you fimialr with setting up applications to start at startup? | 20:39 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins: HES NOT TRYING TO GET RID OF THE PARTITION HE IS TRYING TO MOUNT IT | 20:39 |
| mechanicalduck | Delta706: I ask because I use a debian kernel (without overlayfs kernel support) and I would replace it with the Ubuntu kernel. | 20:39 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: Yes. | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | jhutchins: https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/HjPEcAQ3RiGmO8asnEYw | 20:39 |
| iampaul83 | ok so how can i do that] | 20:40 |
| d3kk | because I can't backup a half terrabytes of data | 20:40 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: It depends on the program. | 20:40 |
| iampaul83 | what would you need to know? | 20:40 |
| Delta706 | mechanicalduck: well I am running ubuntu. if there is a test you want... | 20:40 |
| shadaloo | TJ-: ? | 20:40 |
| mechanicalduck | Delta706: yes! | 20:40 |
| Ben64 | d3kk: for like the 4th time, chkdsk and/or stop fastboot data | 20:41 |
| mechanicalduck | Delta706: mount -t overlayfs overlayfs /tmp/test | 20:41 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: Your -D suggests that the program is supposed to daemonize. Your statement that you "can't close the ssh session" implies that it doesn't. It matters whether you can't actually close the session because the program has seized the console, or whether the program simply dies when you close because it's not actually daemonizing. | 20:41 |
| d3kk | I thought the fastboot is affect for the main system disk but not the secondary | 20:41 |
| mechanicalduck | Delta706: mkdir /tmp/test for creating a mountpoint dir | 20:41 |
| Delta706 | as root? | 20:41 |
| jhutchins | iampaul83: Your reluctance to name the program suggests that there's something dodgy about it. | 20:42 |
| tgm4883 | Ben64: would ntfsfix not work? | 20:42 |
| Ben64 | tgm4883: in my experience, no | 20:42 |

| chrisss123456 | why do people write {execi 300 blablaba} instead of just {execi blabla} ?? | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | d3kk: What fastboot does is store a map of the Windows drive(s) on shutdown so it can just load that into memory when it restarts. If the data has changed because some other OS accessed the drive, the map is inaccurate and data can be corrupted. Doesn't affect non-Windows partitions at all. | 20:58 |

| jmft2 | Hi, I'm on Xubuntu 14.04, was on Ubuntu 14.04, and I've been having some problems with wifi. It works fine on my work and college network (slower than I'd expect, perhaps) but when I'm at home, network-manager tries again and again to connect.

| EriC^^ | streulma: yes | 21:57 |
| streulma | that's why I set up NO swap :) | 21:58 |
| streulma | I have 8GB ram | 21:58 |
| EriC^^ | ok, | 21:58 |
| bubbajuice | genii: there is nothing listed in the files at /var/cache/apt/archives.... an empty lock file, and an empty partial directory | 21:58 |
| EriC^^ | if you type sudo pm-suspend, in the terminal | 21:58 |
| sexyboy | ./22 | 21:58 |
| EriC^^ | does it suspend? | 21:58 |
| streulma | no | 21:58 |
| streulma | tested | 21:58 |
| EriC^^ | any errors? | 21:58 |
| streulma | does nothing | 21:58 |
| streulma | and pm-hibernate also not | 21:58 |
| k1l | EriC^^: it cant suspend without swap | 21:58 |
| bubbajuice | is it possible it was deleted when I did autoremove and clean? | 21:59 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: are you sure? | 21:59 |
| EriC^^ | ( to ram not to disk ) | 21:59 |
| streulma | ok | 21:59 |
| streulma | second please... :) | 21:59 |
| genii | bubbajuice: The clean would have wiped everything out in there, yes. | 22:00 |
| streulma | 8 GB swap ? | 22:00 |
| bubbajuice | OK. I don't know my way around the package system well, but when I do 'apt-cache policy libc6' it lists the ubuntu version I want with the repository... | 22:01 |
| k1l | well. if standby (lets call it that way to get less confusion) doesnt work that could be a acpi issue with the apple hardware? | 22:01 |
| bubbajuice | do i have to manually chase it down there? | 22:01 |
| genii | bubbajuice: So another way is: sudo apt-get download libc6=2.15-0ubuntu10.7 then sudo dpkg -i --force-depends <the-name-of-the-file-it-downloaded> | 22:01 |
| k1l | on my thinkpad i just close the lid and it goes to standby. | 22:01 |
| bubbajuice | genii: this looks promising... will try | 22:02 |
| streulma | wrote swapfile :) 600MB / s | 22:03 |
| streulma | no, no suspend or hibernate | 22:05 |
| genii | bubbajuice: It is now Beer O'Clock and I must leave. Hopefully by using some of the methods I've given you can get the proper versions installed. If not, I shall be here again tomorrow ( or someone else may take up the cause) | 22:06 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: i think it should work, i just tried swapoff , then pm-suspend , it still suspended | 22:06 |
| bubbajuice | genii: thank you. download worked, but the directories are still empty. | 22:06 |
| Vampire-bill | ia32-libs issues 14.04 | 22:06 |
| bubbajuice | so I'll hunt for the path to the file for dpkg from here | 22:06 |
| bubbajuice | thank you | 22:06 |
| genii | bubbajuice: When you use apt-get download <name> the package is in the directory which you ran the command in | 22:07 |
| rainbowwarrior | hello | 22:07 |
| * genii runs away | 22:07 | |
| bubbajuice | got it. learning. :) | 22:07 |
| rainbowwarrior | permission to scream please ? | 22:08 |
| k1l | EriC^^: if there is a swap partition, yes | 22:08 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: i turned off the swap partition, and it still suspended, but it wouldn't hibernate | 22:09 |
| EriC^^ | however i was thinking if the RAM is pretty full how would it suspend to RAM ? | 22:09 |
| k1l | well yes. standby should work without swap | 22:09 |
| k1l | at least it does for me | 22:09 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind i think that didn't make much sense | 22:10 |
| EriC^^ | streulma: try rtcwake -s 10 | 22:10 |
| TJ- | Standby is S3 Sleep; simply freezes processes, puts devices to sleep/bed, and turns off power to everything but the RAM modules. | 22:10 |
| k1l | TJ-: yep, i think thats an apple hardware acpi thing | 22:11 |
| rainbowwarrior | Hello , I am running Ubuntu 14.4.1 on an Acer Aspire V5 571P Laptop , I installed using a USB FLash drive , and while live everything worked fine, but now I have installed to the hard drive, Only some software is working and programs like xchat and java are only half working , they will launch to the launch panel on the left and then when i click on then nothing happens , how can i fix this... | 22:11 |
| rainbowwarrior | ...please ? | 22:11 |
| streulma | yeah I thought also that it is an acpi problem | 22:11 |
| streulma | maybe fixed in 14.10 | 22:11 |
| streulma | or run higher kernel ? | 22:11 |
| rainbowwarrior | streulma : are you talking to me please ? | 22:13 |
| streulma | no | 22:13 |
| streulma | rainbowwarrior have you installed Ubuntu with internet connection and download updates and so on? | 22:14 |
| rainbowwarrior | streulma : yes | 22:15 |
| Pinchiukas | If two processes have the same memory address near 1u (output of lsof), does that mean that they both will write to it but not read? | 22:16 |

| ubuntuaddicted | how would I update git source code I have so that I can recompile a program? I've already cloned the project but there's been code updates and I'm not familiar enough with git to know the command to download all the latest source code | 22:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | is there like a "git update" command or something? | 22:25 |
| wad | I'm looking at a USB startup disk for Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, 64-bit AMD. Is there a way to determine if it's Desktop or Server? | 22:25 |
| superspring | ubuntuaddicted: so you're looking to clone a repository? or update a clone repository to it's latest version? | 22:26 |
| ubuntuaddicted | wad, does it contain Xorg? | 22:26 |
| TJ- | ubuntuaddicted: "git pull" if origin/master is set correctly | 22:26 |
| wad | As a directory at the root of the drive? No. | 22:26 |
| ubuntuaddicted | superspring, i've already cloned the git project and am using it but i just want to update the source and recompile it | 22:26 |
| wad | So the Desktop edition has a directory there? | 22:26 |
| TJ- | wad: Tes, look in the "/.disk/" directory of the ISO | 22:26 |
| wad | ok | 22:27 |
| TJ- | s/Tes/Yes/ | 22:27 |
| superspring | ubuntuaddicted: dunno abotu 'recompile it', but to update your local version to be the latest, as TJ- said, 'git pull' | 22:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | wad, no, i'm just saying desktop version has an X server running so you have a GUI. if it's the server version you on;y have a command line | 22:27 |
| superspring | ubuntuaddicted: you may need additional parameters based on the name of your remote and the branch you're pulling from... | 22:27 |
| wad | Oh, well yeah. I could boot to it. I'm just looking at the contents of the drive right now, though. | 22:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | wad, from what OS? | 22:28 |
| wad | Desktop, 14.04.01 LTS, 64-bit. | 22:28 |
| TJ- | wad: cat "/path/to/iso/.disk/info" | 22:28 |
| wad | There is a cd_type file there, with this line in it: full_cd/single | 22:28 |
| ubuntuaddicted | wad, so you're booted into an ubuntu desktop and you're trying to determine if the usb stick you inserted is of ubuntu server or ubuntu desktop? | 22:28 |
| wad | exactly. | 22:29 |
| wad | Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) | 22:29 |
| wad | ^ That's the contents of "info". | 22:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | superspring, forgive my ignorance but do I just cd to the directory of the project and just run git pull? | 22:29 |
| TJ- | wad: "cd_type" is there to indicate if multiple media are involved, such as a set of 4 CD-ROMs, for example | 22:29 |
| wad | ah | 22:29 |
| superspring | ubuntuaddicted: yeah, the directory with '.git' in it is the base, if you go into the base, or any subdirectory, then 'git pull' will work... | 22:30 |
| TJ- | wad: And I have: "Ubuntu-Server 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2)" | 22:30 |
| wad | Okay. So it's probably desktop, then? | 22:30 |
| TJ- | wad: Yes | 22:30 |
| wad | Cool. I'm gonna upgrade my laptop! | 22:30 |
| NeverGone | Hello | 22:32 |

| arooni-mobile | hey everyone; google.com isn't loading on ubuntu 14.04 chrome. any ideas on what to do? change name servers to google? i tried following http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/configure-dns-server-ubuntu-14-04/ ;; and I'm not sure what to do now | 22:44 |
| k1l | arooni-mobile: can you ping google.com? | 22:45 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, yes ; 64 bytes from pool-154-190-128-190.telecel.com.py (190.128.190.154): icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=29.2 ms | 22:45 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, so its a chrome issue? | 22:45 |
| k1l | i think its a your ISP issue | 22:46 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, i cant seem to load it on firefox either | 22:46 |
| chrisss123456 | TJ-: wait, im not sure i understand. i am finding the text line, but i dont want that. the blabla part varies... | 22:47 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, because i'm not getitn g aresponse directly by google? it's intercepting the reposnse? | 22:47 |
| k1l | arooni-mobile: yes, i think the dns of your isp os broken | 22:47 |
| k1l | os=is | 22:47 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, can i stop using the ISP's DNS by using google public DNS? | 22:47 |
| k1l | 8.8.8.8 is the public dns, iirc | 22:48 |
| chrisss123456 | TJ-: so for example, i have a line like "text="Cloudy" code="26" />" and I only want the "Cloudy", but i cant just cut because some days its Sunny and Partly Cloudy etc... | 22:48 |
| arooni-mobile | k1l, right; but i'm not sure how to implement it; i tried following that guide and installing bind9; but i think dig shows that results are still coming from localhost | 22:48 |
| headkase | arooni-mobile, what version of Ubuntu are you running? 14.04? Unity? If so you'll have your network manager in the upper right to change your DNS servers. | 22:49 |
| k1l | arooni-mobile: see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using#setup | 22:49 |
| arooni-mobile | headkase, 14.04; but cant i change it network wide? i thin network manager is a per network basis | 22:49 |
| KLVTZ | Okay this is SOO frustrating. I installed wine1.7 and winetricks via apt and now when i do an update it asks me to update json manipulation library-shared library but it complains that the package system is broken | 22:50 |
| KLVTZ | very upset because this leaves me basically wiht a package system that is broken :( | 22:50 |
| headkase | arooni-mobile, http://askubuntu.com/questions/2321/what-is-the-proper-way-to-change-the-dns-ip <- instructions. That is per-user, system-wide I'm not sure if just editing /etc/resolv.conf and then when changed doing a chattr +i on it would work. | 22:50 |

| headkase | lxmahyar, you can't resize a partition while it is mounted, as in your computer is booted, so you have to download the gparted iso, burn that to a disc, then boot off that disc to resize your partitions using it. Then boot back into your system when done. | 22:54 |

| sexyboy | rww: i seem to lack that in my 14.04 | 23:11 |
| hashtagubuntu | rww: what do you think would happen if I just deleted the folders with the old modules straightaway | 23:11 |
| headkase | sexyboy, apport? | 23:11 |
| sexyboy | ah no, there it is | 23:11 |
| uselessn00b | Could I perhaps get some help with installing some wireless drivers? I have an 802.11 A/C dual band card. Where can I find the drivers? | 23:11 |
| headkase | !apport | sexyboy | 23:11 |
| DVCE_ | hi all | 23:12 |
| rww | hashtagubuntu: probably bad things. best to use the package manager | 23:12 |
| rww | hashtagubuntu: I've found that if one goes around it like that, it tends to come back and bite one | 23:12 |
| sexyboy | rww: so, where do i choose the wishlist option there? | 23:12 |
| DVCE_ | how is the command that i change nickname ? | 23:12 |
| hashtagubuntu | rww: hmm. i will try to find them in the synaptip | 23:12 |
| rww | DVCE_: /nick | 23:12 |
| DVCE_ | tank's | 23:12 |
| rww | hashtagubuntu: dpkg -S /path/to/file might be helpful | 23:13 |
| rww | sexyboy: if I recall correctly, it's a priority set by a bug triager after you report it | 23:13 |
| headkase | sexyboy, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport | 23:13 |
| sexyboy | rww: so which package should i choose to file an installer whish? | 23:13 |
| lxmahyar | headkase: you using which version of ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| rww | sexyboy: ubiquity | 23:14 |
| sexyboy | wish* | 23:14 |
| headkase | lxmahyar, 14.04.1 LTS | 23:14 |
| === DVCE_ is now known as dUce_ | ||
| lxmahyar | headkase: desktop? | 23:14 |
| tsmith_ | Whats up with old ati drivers in 14.10? | 23:14 |
| hashtagubuntu | What's the new way of running sudo su? | 23:14 |
| headkase | lxmahyar, Unity, with patches.. ;) | 23:15 |
| Ben64 | hashtagubuntu: what are you trying to accomplish | 23:15 |
| hashtagubuntu | Ben64: type dkpg -S /lib/modules/linux-image..... and be able to tab-autocomplete | 23:15 |
| handle | ok | 23:15 |
| handle | hashtagubuntu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304101/ | 23:15 |
| rww | tsmith_: 14.10 hasn't been released yet. Use #ubuntu+1 for support until then. | 23:16 |
| Ben64 | hashtagubuntu: that already works without and sudo... | 23:16 |
| hashtagubuntu | handle: thanks! reading! | 23:16 |
| hashtagubuntu | Ben64: I will try again, was doing nothing for me | 23:16 |
| Ben64 | hashtagubuntu: without any sudo* | 23:16 |
| handle | dont know much about your code | 23:16 |
| handle | but I added what I'd do to a simple script | 23:16 |
| lxmahyar | headkase: unity not customizable, but very beautiful design. | 23:17 |
| handle | always should have a usage statement using "basename" in bash | 23:17 |
| handle | so it prints out the filename and usage | 23:17 |
| hashtagubuntu | handle: so checking for arguments would be like if I invoked the script with some arguments, so I wouldn't have to hardcode them? | 23:17 |
| handle | yeah | 23:17 |
| handle | add args | 23:17 |
| handle | never hardcode stuff | 23:17 |
| handle | script will be faster that way | 23:18 |
| hashtagubuntu | yeah definitely will | 23:18 |
| handle | I just added stubs, thats not the right synatx really | 23:18 |
| handle | lookup bash basename stuff, its easy to add | 23:18 |
| hashtagubuntu | handle: yeah i get that. I don't know what kind of conditional to add. Basically something that is like "you are about to do xx. is that ok?" | 23:19 |
| handle | depends what you are trying to accomplish | 23:19 |
| handle | I dont know | 23:19 |
| handle | could use case statements or an if/else | 23:19 |

| uselessn00b | Third day with Linux, how do I download wireless drivers? I can't exactly pin point what my wireless card is. | 23:20 |
| sexyboy | rww: | 23:20 |
| Ben64 | uselessn00b: lspci or lsusb should show it | 23:20 |

| uselessn00b | Ben64: Ok, I have an Intel Wireless 7260 card. Where can I get the drivers? | 23:23 |
| handle | ok | 23:23 |
| PixelCrumbs | I want to buy a laptop/notebook to run ubuntu. What would you guys suggest? My budget is anywhere from $300-$1000 and I'd mostly be using it for developing | 23:23 |
| handle | a cheap asus? | 23:23 |
| handle | what are you developing? | 23:23 |
| Ben64 | uselessn00b: not sure, maybe someone else here knows | 23:24 |
| uselessn00b | PixelCrumbs: I'm on an ASUS C300 and it's quite nice for $250. | 23:24 |
| uselessn00b | Ben64: Thanks for all your help! | 23:24 |
| PixelCrumbs | uselessn00b: oh nice, i'll check that out. Thanks :) | 23:25 |
| uselessn00b | I just started with Linux but I already love you guys. <3 | 23:25 |
| PixelCrumbs | handle: anything really. But nothing too serious like games | 23:25 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: "pastebinit < <(lspci -nnk)" | 23:25 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: What? | 23:25 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: execute that command and tell us the URL of the pastebin containing the data | 23:25 |
| handle | PixelCrumbs: well, I'd get one with an SSD | 23:27 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: Do I have to install something so that I can pastebinit? | 23:27 |
| PixelCrumbs | handle: yeah true. What do you use? Could you recommend anything? :) | 23:28 |
| hashtagubuntu | PixelCrumbs: not sure how useful this will be but you can always search for potential machines here: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/ If what I have experienced is true, don't go for budget versions of machines or cutting edge stuff -- tried and true models are best with ubuntu. | 23:28 |
| handle | I was looking on newegg | 23:28 |
| sexyboy | why can't ubuntu live image contain the alternate installer as well as the graphical one? | 23:28 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: On 14.04 it is installed by default; if not "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 23:28 |
| handle | seems like you are gonna have to spend $1k for an asus ssd laptop | 23:28 |
| handle | PixelCrumbs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231400 | 23:29 |
| uselessn00b | How do you copy information from the terminal?> | 23:30 |
| PixelCrumbs | handle: hmm yeah true. Would a desktop be a better choice or? | 23:30 |
| handle | uselessn00b: highlight, right click | 23:30 |
| Pinchiukas | Can I somehow find out where ksh is in a shell script? The processes are stuck and I want to know where. This is a large maze of shell scripts... | 23:30 |
| handle | PixelCrumbs: do you plan to move around your computer? | 23:30 |
| uselessn00b | That doesn't work? Might be because I am using a trackpad. | 23:31 |
| PixelCrumbs | handle: not really | 23:31 |
| handle | then just build your own system for cheap | 23:31 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304219/ | 23:32 |
| PixelCrumbs | handle: yeah I think I might. Thanks for your advice | 23:32 |
| handle | np | 23:32 |
| handle | http://www.newegg.com/DIY-PC-SuperCombos/PromotionStore/ID-33 | 23:33 |
| handle | plenty of other stuff you can buy that will destroy a laptop | 23:33 |
| SP33D | can some one plz verfiy that apt-show-versions in current trusty is broken? | 23:33 |
| handle | get a 4core and it will be hyperthreaded in ubuntu | 23:33 |
| SP33D | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/4rrfBiaK | 23:34 |
| handle | lol, trusty | 23:34 |
| handle | why upgrade when its a mess | 23:34 |
| uselessn00b | What's wrong with trusty? | 23:34 |
| SP33D | i normaly run utopic | 23:34 |
| SP33D | :D | 23:34 |
| SP33D | but that box is still trusty | 23:35 |
| handle | it screws up everything when you upgrade | 23:35 |
| handle | might as well rm -rf / | 23:35 |
| uselessn00b | But I trusted it :( | 23:35 |
| handle | cause thats what you end up doing it | 23:35 |
| SP33D | trusty is well | 23:35 |
| SP33D | but the apt-show-versions package is some how demaged i think | 23:35 |
| SP33D | but i have the luck i can replace version fast on that box will simply use centos7 | 23:36 |
| Ben64 | handle: don't type that command in here | 23:37 |
| handle | why | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | it is dangerous | 23:37 |
| handle | :(){ :|:& };: | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | !danger | 23:37 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 23:37 |
| handle | so is that | 23:37 |
| handle | wth | 23:38 |
| handle | danger? | 23:38 |
| Ben64 | !guidelines | handle | 23:38 |
| ubottu | handle: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 23:38 |
| handle | thats the last thing I saw before being kicked for no reason | 23:38 |
| Bashing-om | !info apt-show-versions | 23:38 |
| k1l_ | handle: stop it now! | 23:38 |
| arthurfiggis | handle: It's what happens when someone decides to be an ass and post code for a fork bomb in the channel | 23:38 |
| handle | stop what | 23:38 |
| ubottu | apt-show-versions (source: apt-show-versions): lists available package versions with distribution. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22.3 (trusty), package size 33 kB, installed size 169 kB | 23:38 |
| k1l_ | handle: this is a beginners channel. so stop pasting potencially dangerous commands in here. that is strictly against channel guidelines and code of conduct. | 23:39 |
| uselessn00b | I downloaded some drivers for my wireless card but I can't open the .tgz with the archive mounter. What gives? | 23:40 |
| handle | thanks | 23:40 |
| Bashing-om | SP33D: ^^, are you fully updated/upgraded ? from this "Error: No information about packages! (Maybe no deb entries?) " . | 23:40 |
| SP33D | fresh install | 23:40 |
| SP33D | fully updated | 23:40 |
| handle | I didnt realize the chan was apparently new users | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | SP33D: what command are you typing exactly | 23:41 |
| handle | is anyone here going to fossetcon? | 23:41 |
| handle | I am | 23:41 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: The wireless device driver "iwlwifi" is loaded and should be ready to work | 23:41 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: I'm having some network issues though. It's complicated. | 23:42 |
| SP33D | don't laught i do apt-get install apt-show-versions | 23:42 |
| SP33D | not more | 23:42 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Except in rare circumstances, Linux should include all the device drivers required. Exceptions are for devices from manufacturers who do not support the Linux kernel and open-source development | 23:42 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: What kind of issues specifically? | 23:42 |
| SP33D | on a fresh trusty install that did apt-get update and upgrade | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | SP33D: the error comes after doing apt-get install? | 23:42 |
| SP33D | on apt-get install | 23:42 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: I can't get my Linux laptop visible on my wlan. | 23:42 |
| uselessn00b | No idea what the problem is. | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | SP33D: maybe you should try a different mirror | 23:43 |
| Bashing-om | SP33D: sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions ?? with the "sudo " ?? | 23:43 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Does the PC see the wireless access point and the BSSID name? | 23:43 |
| SP33D | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/jud8KQqy | 23:43 |
| SP33D | this is the full | 23:43 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: That is Greek to me. | 23:43 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: I don't think I am cut out for Linux. :( | 23:44 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: do this: "pastebinit /var/log/syslog" and I'll take a look | 23:44 |
| uselessn00b | I can go to browse network in "Files" and see "Windows Network" but when I try to open it up I get the "Unable to access location" error. | 23:44 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: You're a hero. | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | SP33D: http://sprunge.us/FaDS | 23:45 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Unlike Windows where useful log data is rare, Linux has an abundance of it and its all accessible as text files so its easy to get to and read | 23:45 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: It says that it's unable to read it. | 23:45 |
| uselessn00b | or something. | 23:45 |
| uselessn00b | I have to go eat though. | 23:45 |
| uselessn00b | Brb. | 23:45 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Ahhh, maybe you need 'sudo': "sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog" | 23:46 |
| SP33D | hmm | 23:46 |
| SP33D | ben what do you think i should do | 23:46 |
| SP33D | can i fix that any how or shall i install a other os | 23:47 |
| k1l_ | SP33D: sudo apt-get install -f | 23:48 |
| SP33D | don't fixes the problem | 23:50 |
| jak3000 | hi all | 23:50 |
| SP33D | only apt-get remove :D | 23:50 |
| jak3000 | why i get an Forbidden permission when i try access: www.mysite.com/glnftp/sandia.jpg see details: http://pastie.org/9540375 thanks | 23:50 |
| TJ- | SP33D: k1l_ The postinst script is simply doing "apt-show-versions -i" so you can run that manually and also add verbose logging: "sudo apt-show-versions -vi" | 23:51 |
| SP33D | jak3000 join #httpd | 23:51 |
| jak3000 | SP33D i think is a problem of permissions of linux? | 23:51 |
| TJ- | SP33D: ahh, actually it can't cope with joined options, you'd need "sudo apt-show-versions -v -i" | 23:52 |
| k1l_ | TJ-: SP33D i see some german ML entry for a debian issue with "Acquire::GzipIndexes "true";" in apt.conf for that package. but i cant find that on my system at all | 23:52 |
| SP33D | hmmm | 23:53 |
| SP33D | at all it don#t works but is installed that cool | 23:53 |
| SP33D | :D | 23:53 |
| SP33D | ah don't works | 23:54 |
| k1l_ | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617856 that seems to be the bug report | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 617856 in apt-show-versions "apt-show-versions: does not see gzipped Packages files when uncompressed are not available" [Important,Open] | 23:54 |
| SP33D | he says its not configured i don't know how to configure it manualy | 23:54 |
| TJ- | SP33D: Do this and see if it reports an error; if so tell us what it reports "sudo apt-show-versions -v -i" | 23:55 |
| k1l_ | SP33D: please pastebin "ls /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages*" | 23:56 |
| SP33D | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/egLKi3mt | 23:56 |
| k1l_ | SP33D: yes, they are gzipped. so you need to tell your apt.conf to change from "Acquire::GzipIndexes "true";" to "Acquire::GzipIndexes "false";" | 23:58 |
| SP33D | nice top thx so so much | 23:58 |
| === ryan_46 is now known as treloool | ||
| TJ- | SP33D: k1l_ This should be fixable; it's only a Perl script | 23:59 |
