| SP33D | will fix that right? | 00:00 |
| SP33D | or is it echo APT::Acquire::GzipIndexes "false" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02nogz | 00:01 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: What was that command you wanted me to run? | 00:01 |
| k1l_ | just open it with sudo nano and change that to false by hand | 00:01 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Ahhh, maybe you need 'sudo': "sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog" | 00:03 |
| Michael87 | Anyone know how to change the time from military to normal on cairo? I'm tryying it out as a replacement to unity | 00:03 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: "Unable to read from: /var/log/syslog" | 00:04 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Is it missing? "ls -l /var/log/syslog" | 00:06 |
| TJ- | Michael87: That's sometimes configurable via the Locale/Language > Time and Date setttings | 00:06 |
| uselessn00b | It says that I cannot access it. | 00:07 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: OK, so are you working with a user account that doesn't have "sudo" rights? do "groups" and see if "sudo" is listed amongst the groups your user is a member of | 00:07 |
| uselessn00b | "video sudo plugdev audio" | 00:08 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: OK, it is, so try "sudo ls -l /var/log/syslog" | 00:08 |
| Michael87 | TJ general settings wasn't changing it in cairo dock session. Its a customization in cairo dock. Again giving it a wirl. Been using unity for over a year and wanted to give something different a shot other then kde of course. I always liked the Cairo dock but it needs some tweaks | 00:09 |
| TJ- | Michael87: So the dock is ignore the settings? | 00:09 |
| uselessn00b | that is lower case L and -L (lower case), right? | 00:09 |
| TJ- | useless, it is | 00:09 |
| Michael87 | TJ-, yeah I know right? | 00:09 |
| uselessn00b | Not working... | 00:10 |
| Michael87 | TJ-, the cairo dock has its own settings. Trying to figure it out | 00:10 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: What does "not working" mean? | 00:10 |
| uselessn00b | ls: cannot access -: no such file or directory. | 00:10 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: What have you done to that system!? | 00:10 |
| Michael87 | TJ-, I'll get there. it reminds me manually changing it with lubuntu. Probably the same method will work | 00:10 |
| uselessn00b | I just installed it a couple nights ago. o_O | 00:10 |
| Bashing-om | uselessn00b: I too find it hard to believe that file does not exist. what returns -> ls -al /var/log/ | 00:11 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: "sudo ls -latr /var/log/" --- do you see any log files/directories? | 00:11 |
| uselessn00b | Bashing-om: That did something. | 00:11 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: We need *specific accurate* feedback from you; we can't guess what you're seeing! | 00:11 |
| uselessn00b | Sorry! | 00:12 |
| uselessn00b | Uh, should I paste bin it? | 00:12 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: E.g. ... "it listed about 20 files and 5 directories, some of which were named ..." | 00:12 |
| uselessn00b | yeah, that. | 00:12 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Yes please - pastebin is our lifeline | 00:12 |
| uselessn00b | Uh, I'm so useless. | 00:12 |
| uselessn00b | Living up to the name. | 00:12 |
| uselessn00b | Hold on. | 00:12 |
| OerHeks | my best guess the issue is in the proposed repo | 00:13 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: No you're not, you're doing it, you just lack a little specificity, but you're learning rapidly | 00:13 |
| uselessn00b | I'm having trouble paste binning it now. | 00:13 |
| uselessn00b | something to do with my syntax surely. | 00:13 |
| Bashing-om | uselessn00b: It is a thought process, and a process of learning ( TJ- teaches me bunches !) . | 00:13 |
| uselessn00b | Tell me it's unable to read from ls | 00:14 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: putting this all together with the networking issue and missing syslog file I'm beginning to lean towards there being something faulty with the PC itself, such as RAM modules corrupting. It might be worth doing a reboot and running the "memtest86+" RAM module tester | 00:14 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: "pastebinit < <(sudo ls -altr /var/log/) " | 00:15 |
| uselessn00b | Failed to connect to server? | 00:15 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: network issue then, the PC lost connectivity? | 00:16 |
| Bashing-om | uselessn00b: Are you doing -> ls -al /var/log/ | pastebinit <- . that works for me ! | 00:16 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Let's check on the state of the interface: "sudo iwconfig wlan0" and tell us the last line it reports - the numbers of the 3 types of errors | 00:17 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304500/ | 00:17 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: It'll look similar to "Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:390 Missed beacon:0" | 00:17 |
| coolstar | is there a way I can encrypt my home folder in linux? | 00:18 |
| coolstar | I don't want to create a new user account, I want to encrypt my existing home folder | 00:18 |
| uselessn00b | iwconfig not found | 00:18 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Something very wrong: "cat /etc/issue" what does that report? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | coolstar: Yes. the ecryptfs tools | 00:19 |
| uselessn00b | "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l" | 00:19 |
| uselessn00b | Oh, I don't know if this is relevant but I'm fairly certain I have installed Linux to an SD card. | 00:20 |
| coolstar | TJ-: so how do I use it? | 00:20 |
| TJ- | coolstar: "man ecryptfs-setup-private" | 00:20 |
| TJ- | coolstar: If not installed, "sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils" | 00:20 |
| zerick | Hi folks, I'm measuring execution time with time command, and I'm a little concern about time builtin, I'm using /usr/bin/time instead in order to get different output but I'm seeing that formats are differente between builtin and proper time command. | 00:21 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: There's a lot missing from /var/log/ that is created at boot, important log files created by core system services. For those to be missing, something is very wrong. If you have no valuable data on there, I'd suggest a total clean reinstall since we can't trust the system to be in a sane state | 00:22 |
| zerick | I'd like to know which is the equivalent for "real" in the non-builtin time command output (/usr/bin/time) | 00:22 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: Oh, damn. I spent so much time just trying to install this the other day! | 00:23 |
| TJ- | zerick: Don't you just need "--portability" ? | 00:23 |
| uselessn00b | TJ-: Is it because I have it installed to an SD card? | 00:23 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: uselessn00b :: I am in a learning mode here, useless shows only 20 files, for reference useless >http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304481/ <- I have 87 and suslogs is among them . | 00:23 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Installation target should have no affect; everything is a block device as far as Linux is concerned | 00:24 |
| spearhead | Bashing-om, I would say you have a lot more log files because your computer has been running for a lot longer | 00:25 |
| Bashing-om | spearhead: Partly true, but look at the logs that useless doesn't not have ? | 00:27 |
| uselessn00b | Should my laptop normally be visible on a Windows network? | 00:27 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Not unless the samba utilities are installed - not sure if they are installed by default, probably so | 00:28 |
| trustythar1404 | ubuntu 14.04 is very good system | 00:29 |
| uselessn00b | Can I try installing them before doing a clean install? | 00:30 |
| spearhead | Bashing-om, yeah, that is odd... he doesn't even have auth.log... | 00:30 |
| TJ- | uselessn00b: Don't cause yourself more grief; do a clean standard reinstall | 00:30 |

| bubbajuice | I added a deb ftp site to my /etc/apt/sources.list earlier today and screwed up my 12.04 Ubuntu install | 01:19 |

| bodie_ | hello all, I need to get the latest nvidia binary drivers. is there a recommended ppa or should I just use their installer? | 01:19 |
| bodie_ | (14.04) | 01:19 |
| bodie_ | the trunk version has a bug affecting me which is fixed in the newest driver | 01:20 |
| bubbajuice | To fix it, I manually downloaded the right .deb packages for 'libc6' and 'libc6-i386' and then force installed them to the system... | 01:20 |
| mjayk | bodie_, have you tried using the additional drivers option or is that not newable | 01:20 |
| mjayk | newable wtf | 01:20 |
| mjayk | new enough | 01:20 |
| bodie_ | hehe | 01:20 |
| bubbajuice | However, the circular dependency is screwed up still in 'configuration'.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304901/ | 01:21 |
| bodie_ | mjayk, I've just been using apt-get, I assume that's an option in the gui updater | 01:21 |
| bubbajuice | Looking for any help on what to do next to resolve this... | 01:21 |
| mjayk | bodie_, in the dash type additional drivers, that should enable you to select the propiatary drivers (and beta drivers etc) | 01:21 |
| bodie_ | mjayk, under Additional Drivers, it shows me using proprietary version 331.38, which is the version affected by the bug | 01:22 |

| mjayk | bodie_, just becareful to follow instructions, I always try to avoid ppa's out of personal preference, the have the deb package on that link aswell | 01:24 |
| bodie_ | mjayk, I see. the thing with the PPA is that they want you to use all the software in it, which I'm not sure will be good (it's from edgers) | 01:24 |
| Bashing-om | Radon_3: Common router ? an easy way then . | 01:24 |
| bodie_ | mjayk, is there a way to use the installer version until the more current one is in trunk, and then roll over to that? | 01:24 |
| Radon_3 | no, only have a crossover cable, and two net cards :( | 01:25 |
| mjayk | bodie_, yes you just need to keep an eye personally on when the next one is released | 01:25 |
| bodie_ | fair enough. thanks for the help mjayk | 01:26 |
| mjayk | bodie_, no worries hope it works out, backup if I were you as graphics card drivers have been one of my biggest causes of failure | 01:26 |

| gshmu | somsip: i using ctrl+D close shell | 01:41 |
| spearhead | gshmu, when you run ping in the background it still prints to the terminal it was ran in... so it will fill up your screen but you can't kill it because it is no longer in the foreground so you either have to bring it back to the foreground with fg 1 and then kill with ctrl-c or use a command such as sudo killall ping | 01:44 |

| skydog | This isnt my desktop, I want that program but I dont know whats its called | 02:33 |
| xangua | skydog: looks like avant window navigator | 02:34 |
| skydog | Thanks :) | 02:34 |
| skydog | Even if it isnt, ill take it Avant does similar things. so that'll do, wasnt sure what those things were called. | 02:35 |
| skydog | hm I searched awm, it looks like I was misunderstood, apparently awm is the tray at the bottom... or am I missing something here? | 02:35 |

| james0r | i have xubuntu 14.04 32bit installed and have 6 gigs of RAM. I understand 32bit only takes advantage of 4 gigs of ram. I'm starting to mess with an android emulator which tries to grab 2 gigs of ram for the emulator. will upgrading to 64bit let me utilize all 6gigs of ram and give me a boost? | 02:47 |
| somsip | james0r: yes | 02:47 |
| somsip | james0r: though...I thought all kernels were PAE enabled by default now. What does free -h tell you? | 02:48 |
| james0r | https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16833274/cd-2014-09-10__09-49-06.txt | 02:49 |
| james0r | someone, | 02:49 |
| james0r | somsip, | 02:49 |
| somsip | james0r: so it's already recognising your 6GB | 02:49 |
| james0r | someone, i mean it shows on my conky so i figured it was seeing it, just thought it wasn't able to use it in 32bit | 02:50 |
| james0r | i got my xubuntu setup all tweaked and perfect so trying to avoid another OS install if possible. | 02:50 |
| somsip | james0r: I'm quite sure that all kernels now have PAE enabled, which allows 32 bit installs to access all of the RAM | 02:51 |
| TJ- | james0r: The only limitation is that no single process can address more than 4GB of virtual memory. 1GB is reserved for the kernel mappings, and effectively the maximum is aorund 2.5GB if I recall correctly. In 64-bit mode processes do not have those limitations | 02:51 |
| somsip | james0r: "from 12.10 only the PAE releases are maintained" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAEhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE | 02:52 |
| somsip | sorry - double paste on the URL | 02:52 |
| james0r | TJ-, okay maybe no issue then, because i never try to grab more than 2gb of ram from my emulator at a time. | 02:52 |
| TJ- | james0r: That 4G of virtual address space also has to allow for all the dynamic libraries mapped into the process address space too, so for larger processes with complex linkage, the maximum usable address space can be surprisingly low | 02:54 |
| james0r | TJ-, i understand some of that :) I'm getting a black screen on my emulator when i try 2gb so low memory might be the issue. i'll look into it some more. thanks for the info! | 02:55 |
| james0r | hrmm, sure enough. lowering the RAM it grabs to 1gb allows it to run. i'll shrink my partition, install 64 bit on a small partition and give it a shot on that side. | 02:57 |

| joshuasm32 | I really messed up. D: | 03:01 |
| joshuasm32 | My school computers run Windows 7, and I added Ubuntu in the background as a secondary boot. I only want to use open code, so... | 03:02 |
| somsip | Guest43948: lshw -C Video (might tell you) | 03:02 |
| joshuasm32 | I was going to remove it later on | 03:02 |

| melio | you can resize it | 03:05 |
| melio | and reformat unused partitions | 03:05 |
| joshuasm32 | I could turn in a blank one and then make up some excuse... | 03:05 |
| joshuasm32 | ... | 03:05 |
| melio | you can thumbdrive boot it | 03:05 |
| melio | then wipe it with fdisk | 03:05 |
| joshuasm32 | resize windows? | 03:05 |
| melio | joshuasm32, there's tons of things you can do. but i suggest you get a unetbootin app | 03:05 |
| melio | and install it | 03:05 |
| melio | then get yourself a ubuntu iso | 03:06 |
| joshuasm32 | I basically want to remove everything, all partitions, not just windows | 03:06 |
| melio | and write it to a nice 4gig thumbdrive | 03:06 |
| melio | use a persistant file system | 03:06 |

| joshuasm32 | Is #ubuntu an open IRC or mainly only for tech support? | 03:11 |
| Guest43948 | I"m running a live CD on this PC, and it probably already has tonnes of video memory | 03:11 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: only for ubuntu support | 03:11 |
| joshuasm32 | Oh sorry | 03:11 |
| joshuasm32 | Here is a genuine Ubuntu question however | 03:11 |
| joshuasm32 | Can I somehow hide the partition with Ubuntu on it without removing it? | 03:12 |
| Guest43948 | I asked because I was looking at the hardware requirements to run a game on an old PC running Xubuntu 14.04 | 03:12 |
| usr13 | Guest43948: But if it is integrated video chip, (on the Motherboard), grep -i memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log will not show anything. | 03:12 |
| usr13 | Guest43948: (... because it uses shared RAM) | 03:12 |
| Guest43948 | The PC I want to run a game on is an HP desktop PC | 03:13 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: hide it from what? It's defined on the hardware (HD partition table) so will be readable by anything that access the HD partition table. Like Windows Disk Manager (or whatever it is called) | 03:13 |
| joshuasm32 | oh | 03:13 |
| joshuasm32 | alright | 03:13 |
| Guest43948 | HP dx5150 SFF desktop PC | 03:14 |
| usr13 | Guest43948: If it uses shared RAM, you will often find an entry in the BIOS that allows you to specify how much RAM to use for it. | 03:14 |

| melio | oh well | 03:14 |
| Guest43948 | usr13, I meant, what is shared RAM? | 03:15 |
| usr13 | Guest43948: It is where your video chip just uses the system's Random Access Memory chip(s) for it's video RAM needs. | 03:15 |
| usr13 | Guest43948: So a certain amount of your system RAM is set asside for the video chip's use. | 03:15 |

| usr13 | HikaruBG: Do you have a public IP? | 03:22 |
| gebbione | if you connect directly just call your public ip | 03:22 |
| HikaruBG | currently I am usung private IP Addressing, provided by my ISP Wireless router | 03:22 |
| HikaruBG | no - private IP usr13 | 03:22 |
| gebbione | then forward a port like 8080 to your internal ip | 03:22 |
| gebbione | check port forwarding settings in your router | 03:22 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: If not, you will need a Nynamic DNS provider | 03:22 |
| HikaruBG | gebbione, by internal IP you mean.... my router IP ? | 03:23 |
| Guest43948 | Does that command........ls /var/log/Xorg.*......do the same thing as the last one you gave me, usr13 ? | 03:23 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: Yea, most ISPs will use shared IP | 03:23 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: But why do you need ti? | 03:23 |
| gebbione | internal ip is your machine, the public ip is already accessible and you router responds on it | 03:23 |
| HikaruBG | usr13, Dynamic DNS you say... where to find that? | 03:24 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: On the internet. | 03:24 |
| gebbione | noip.com | 03:24 |
| gebbione | just set the port forwarding first | 03:24 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: What is it you are trying to accomplish? | 03:24 |
| HikaruBG | I have a gitlab server at home, and I am trying to make it public so my developing team can use it | 03:25 |
| gebbione | just use bitbucket or github | 03:26 |
| usr13 | HikaruBG: As gebbione is pointing out, you'll also need to forward the port you are wanting to use to the PC that runs the server. | 03:26 |
| HikaruBG | gebbione, github has limited secured projects ... it comes a bit expensive | 03:26 |
| HikaruBG | :) | 03:26 |
| gebbione | bitbucket gives free 5 private projects if thats the problem | 03:27 |
| HikaruBG | usr13, i have noticed gebbione's advices and I will look into that | 03:27 |
| HikaruBG | Thanks | 03:27 |

| _unreal_ | if your video cable is plugged into the ONBOARD video location which is blue in that image, then you can go to your bios and find out exactly how much memory is being used by the video card. if its an expansion card then it gets a little more complicated | 03:49 |

| Melio | lol | 04:05 |
| zerothis | _unreal_: Linux never gives up! I say do likewise! | 04:06 |

| Melio | how do you get to the unsigned drivers and proprietary drivers in 14.04.1 | 04:07 |
| Melio | there's a way enable or install em i forgot | 04:07 |
| Melio | maby it's in settings | 04:07 |
| _unreal_ | unsigned drivers? you mean free and non free? | 04:07 |
| Melio | yes | 04:08 |
| _unreal_ | one sec | 04:08 |
| _unreal_ | crap I dont know off the top of my head, go to your software manager and you can enable it there | 04:08 |
| Melio | ok | 04:08 |
| _unreal_ | my ubuntu VNC computer is not on right now, and this is an RPM based system | 04:09 |
| Slartibartfast13 | There is one host bridge and two compatible controllers for my RS480 video card | 04:09 |
| Melio | centos? | 04:09 |
| _unreal_ | fedora | 04:09 |
| gebbione | rypope not even the shutdown works | 04:09 |
| gebbione | GRRRRR | 04:09 |
| _unreal_ | gebbione, ? | 04:09 |
| Slartibartfast13 | The host bridge is Rev 10 | 04:09 |
| gebbione | amd the keyboard languare resets itself | 04:10 |
| gebbione | _unreal_, too many bugs in ubuntu | 04:10 |
| Melio | additional drivers in search pulled itu p | 04:10 |
| gebbione | 14 is a disaster | 04:10 |
| Slartibartfast13 | But googling it still does not show its video memory, not on any of the websites I have visited so far | 04:10 |
| gebbione | i have to shutdown manually | 04:10 |
| _unreal_ | I have not had any issues with 14.04 other then going threw hell to get a broadcom wifi card working. | 04:10 |
| Loshki | gebbione: if you want stability, you should be on 12.04.latest... | 04:11 |
| Melio | tht's not hell | 04:11 |
| gebbione | so you can resize folders fine? | 04:11 |
| DVCE_ | hi all | 04:11 |
| Melio | 14.04 is very stable for me | 04:11 |
| Melio | this laptop is brand new | 04:11 |
| _unreal_ | gebbione, if your having such issues it sounds more like user infelected problems that the system its self being unstable | 04:11 |
| ObrienDave | I have no issues with 14.04 | 04:11 |
| Melio | it's quickly becomming a very useful system | 04:11 |
| gebbione | Loshki, i was and then i thought 14 by now should have been good enough | 04:11 |
| DVCE_ | how command show the version of my ubuntu ? | 04:11 |
| gebbione | but i have all sorts of annoying bugs | 04:11 |
| ObrienDave | pebcak | 04:11 |
| gebbione | _unreal_, the bugs are reported | 04:12 |
| gebbione | not only me | 04:12 |
| Loshki | Nevertheless, 14.04.1 is just a step away from the dot-o release. If it runs true to form, it won't really stabilise until 14.04.04 | 04:12 |
| Melio | DVCE_, uniity buton in the upper left protion of the screen tells you | 04:12 |
| gebbione | like the ones i posted earlier | 04:12 |
| gebbione | night all | 04:12 |
| Melio | or lsb_release -a | 04:13 |
| Melio | Loshki, you should know textbook responses about linux don't apply to every computer and every kernel running on them | 04:14 |
| _unreal_ | gebbione: landscape-sysinfo | pastebinit | 04:14 |
| _unreal_ | sigh | 04:14 |
| Melio | it's great to have an LPI cert encoded response in yuor mind, but it's not always the best way to look at stability :) | 04:14 |
| DVCE_ | M | 04:14 |
| Loshki | Melio: textbook? I'd say it's a minority opinion. Most people assume newer is always better... | 04:14 |
| ObrienDave | DVCE_, cat /etc/issue | 04:15 |
| _unreal_ | I bet you his system is a disaster, lot of unsigned software etc....... and messing about | 04:15 |
| Slartibartfast13 | I got a lot of information about my RS480, but still nothing about the video memory | 04:15 |
| DVCE_ | Thanks | 04:15 |
| Melio | _unreal_, whos? | 04:15 |
| _unreal_ | gebbione | 04:16 |

| Melio | oh he lef | 04:16 |
| Melio | t | 04:16 |
| ubard | I have a screen flickering problem after the last updates | 04:16 |
| Melio | hi ubard | 04:16 |
| ubard | can anyone help me out? | 04:16 |
| Melio | ubard, desktop or laptop? | 04:16 |
| _unreal_ | Slartibartfast13, I already gave you the exact command that would print the amount of memory the video card has. | 04:16 |
| sexyboy | ubard: just ask your question :D | 04:16 |
| Melio | he did :P | 04:16 |
| DVCE_ | on shell, what's the command that show my version of ubuntu ? | 04:16 |
| ubard | laptop | 04:16 |
| _unreal_ | Slartibartfast13, from this point on I'm ignoring you | 04:16 |
| Melio | ubard, try swaping drivers out for it | 04:17 |
| sexyboy | ah you already did | 04:17 |
| sexyboy | meh, i'm tired | 04:17 |
| Melio | like go to xorg defualt, free drivers, then back to proprietary | 04:17 |
| Loshki | DVCE_: what ObrienDave said above... | 04:17 |
| wad | I've got a new, 2TB hard drive that I bought to use as a backup. But now it's throwing tons of errors at me. Of course, this was after I copied all my wifes files to it, and wiped the drive they came from. | 04:17 |
| ObrienDave | DVCE_, cat /etc/issue | 04:17 |
| Melio | something in the update changed your video stuff. so try searching for unsigned drivers in the search box | 04:18 |
| DVCE_ | ObrienDave, file our directory not found | 04:18 |
| _unreal_ | Melio, user -a | 04:18 |
| ObrienDave | DVCE_, or, lsb_release -a | 04:18 |
| Melio | it should point you to proprietary driver installs and adjustmens to drivers | 04:18 |
| Loshki | wad: anticipating the next question, when you say "wiped", what exactly did you do? | 04:18 |
| wad | fdisk, deleted all the partitions. | 04:18 |
| Melio | DVCE_, lagged a bit? i answered it | 04:18 |
| _unreal_ | sorry Melio : uname -a | 04:19 |
| Melio | internet is kinda laggy tonight for me too. i'm downloading a bit | 04:19 |
| wad | I don't suppose there is a way to recover deleted partitions... ? | 04:19 |
| wad | It had 6 partitions on it, becuase it had a windows/linux dual boot. | 04:19 |
| Loshki | wad: that's it? Didn't format, didn't write any data? Try testdisk... | 04:19 |
| Melio | _unreal_, uname -a doesnt tell me the ubuntu release just the kernel and stuff | 04:19 |
| wad | Okay. | 04:19 |
| DVCE_ | ObrienDave, the second command solve the problem, thanks | 04:19 |
| _unreal_ | that I'm not sure of | 04:19 |
| ubard | Melio, pm please | 04:19 |
| ObrienDave | DVCE_, thank Melio | 04:20 |
| Melio | sre | 04:20 |

| samthewildone | as in they have these strings of color or a faded color | 04:36 |
| Slartibartfast13 | It looks like my Display controller is disabled. But my VGA compatible controller has 32 bit prefetchable memory at 128 MB, and 32 bit non--prefetchable memory at 64 K. | 04:36 |

| Melio | if that's the only thing running . i don't think grub is even installed | 04:41 |
| Melio | you can of course install it | 04:41 |
| lotuspsychje | ubard: you can edit grub with gedit or any text file editor | 04:42 |

| Slartibartfast13 | thanks for your help _unreal_ I got a lot of useful information with your help | 04:45 |
| melio | nah no grub at boot with shift | 04:47 |
| Slartibartfast13 | the next thing I'll do is try to print out all that information onto a hard copy, so it's easier to read. It looks like about 2 or 3 pages | 04:47 |
| melio | there's EFI partitions there | 04:47 |
| melio | it's not real easy to mess with | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | melio: what are you trying to do exactly? | 04:47 |
| melio | i'm trynig to figure out how i would change a kernel | 04:48 |
| melio | usnig grub | 04:48 |
| melio | using grub | 04:48 |
| Slartibartfast13 | All those numbers would probably make more sense on a piece of paper, as opposed to trying to read them on a monitor | 04:48 |
| melio | specificly if grub isnt there. it won't be easy | 04:48 |
| ubard | thanks lotuspsychje! holding shift at boot works.. | 04:48 |
| melio | ok so grub is here ubard | 04:48 |
| ubard | melio I managed it | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | melio: holding shift should work normally | 04:48 |
| ubard | yup | 04:48 |
| melio | i must not have held shift a the right time | 04:48 |
| melio | ubard, ok so once you install the kernel version you want | 04:48 |
| melio | it should be there in grub once you give it an advanced menu option | 04:49 |
| melio | and you can boot the alternate kernel there | 04:49 |
| ubard | actually I already have the previous version on the list, will try that first | 04:49 |

| acidrain_ | i tried sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-beta with no luck | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, sudo apt-get google* would kill all google stuff | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | apt-get purge google* | 06:30 |
| ObrienDave | acidrain_, sudo apt-get purge <package> | 06:30 |
| acidrain_ | ObrienDave: didnt work | 06:30 |
| acidrain_ | upon doing: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta, all my preferences, and plugins were still there | 06:31 |
| hillary_ | ok let me try see | 06:31 |
| ObrienDave | acidrain_, because you did not add the package name to the command | 06:31 |
| acidrain_ | what do you mean? | 06:31 |
| ObrienDave | acidrain_, look at your command. you installed again | 06:31 |
| anohigisavay | is purge a command now? it's been long time since last time i used ubuntu but i remeber it was apt-get remove --purge? | 06:32 |
| acidrain_ | correct... there shouldnt be any trace that i ever had a previous install of chrome | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, eh, not quite. the package is still on your system unless you empty from cache ... | 06:32 |
| acidrain_ | cfhowlett: how do i do this? | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:32 |
| hillary_ | cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8306729/ | 06:34 |
| acidrain_ | cfhowlett: it worked | 06:34 |
| acidrain_ | lets hope this fixes the issue | 06:34 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, go for it! | 06:34 |
| acidrain_ | for some reason, chrome stops playing netflix movies after about 10sec now | 06:34 |
| acidrain_ | has been working for about 5days straight on a fresh install | 06:34 |
| acidrain_ | damn it | 06:35 |
| acidrain_ | it didnt work | 06:35 |
| acidrain_ | options are still there | 06:35 |
| Mandor | I have a kickstart config that worked fine under ubuntu 12.04. It generates multiple LVM physical volumes using the syntax "part pv.01 --size 4000 --asprimary". Under 12.04, this works great. Under 14.04, the first one consumes the rest of the disk. Any clues? | 06:35 |
| anohigisavay | hillary_: i would suggest you reinstall libreoffice-base | 06:36 |
| anohigisavay | and remove it | 06:36 |
| hillary_ | ok | 06:37 |
| anohigisavay | hillary_: apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice-base | 06:37 |
| Mandor | Sample kickstart snippet: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cEyb8GCi | 06:37 |
| cfhowlett | hillary_, agreed. seems a broken install/remove of some kind | 06:38 |
| acidrain_ | im pretty sure i hate chrome now | 06:48 |
| acidrain_ | why make things so damn difficult | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | hillary_, fixed??? | 06:48 |
| hillary_ | not yet | 06:48 |
| hillary_ | still the same error | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, actually, chromium is likely a better tool for linux ... | 06:49 |
| acidrain_ | Error Code: M7363-1264-00000000 | 06:49 |
| anohigisavay | i personally prefer chromium over firefox | 06:49 |
| hillary_ | E: libreoffice-base: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 | 06:49 |
| hillary_ | still that error | 06:49 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, that's a chrome error? google error? should be searchable. | 06:50 |
| anohigisavay | hillary_: just remove the f***ing /var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-base.postrm | 06:50 |
| acidrain_ | cfhowlett: to my knowledge there is only about 4 other people world wide who have this issue | 06:50 |
| acidrain_ | ubuntu 14 + chrome + netflix. just RECENTLY stopped working. maybe 8hrs ago | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, wow! you are in rarified company! :0 | 06:51 |
| acidrain_ | idk what to do.... | 06:51 |
| dios_mio | acidrain_: install slackware! | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, sadly, with so few folks facing the issue, not likely that a whole lot of folk are working on a solution. | 06:51 |
| acidrain_ | i like chrome. but i would extremely rather not install firefox + pipelight again | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | dios_mio, no trolling please. | 06:52 |
| ObrienDave | acidrain_, i think chrome settings are retained by google. i know when i install chrome to a VM, once i login through google all my settings and bookmarks show up | 06:52 |
| cfhowlett | acidrain_, true. if you actually log into chrome, it will synch your google account settings. | 06:53 |
| acidrain_ | this error im getting seems to be a time based thing | 06:54 |
| acidrain_ | like seriously | 06:54 |
| acidrain_ | everything is loading fine. netflix is buffering like WAY ahead of where im watching. then for no reason: BOOM. unexpected error occured. try reloading the page. Error Code: M7363-1264-00000000 | 06:55 |

| acidrain_ | ObrienDave: where are you getting that info from? | 06:57 |

| hillary_ | no | 07:27 |
| cfhowlett | ghost_, yes we see you. | 07:27 |
| ghost_ | how are u cfhowlett | 07:28 |
| cfhowlett | ghost_, great. ask your ubuntu questions | 07:28 |
| geirha | hillary_: could you pastebin this? shows information about the packages in question: apt-cache policy libreoffice{,-core,-writer,-calc,-impress,-draw,-math,-base,-filter-mobiledev} | 07:30 |

| cfhowlett | hillary_, paste the output: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:33 |
| geirha | hillary_, cfhowlett as for sources.list, a more useful command for that would be: tail -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | 07:35 |

| ikonia | so it doesn't know where the installed version came from | 07:36 |
| ikonia | but apt-policy isn't aware of the other versions as the ppa file has been removed | 07:36 |
| ikonia | apt-cache sorry | 07:36 |
| geirha | backports is enabled. Maybe there's a newer libreoffice in there | 07:36 |

| hillary_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8307096/ | 07:37 |
| ikonia | look at the bottom | 07:37 |
| geirha | right, so there has been a libreoffice ppa enabled at some point, but it's now disabled | 07:37 |
| ikonia | dissabled PPA's | 07:37 |
| cfhowlett | ikonia, yep there is is. line 68, 72 | 07:37 |
| ghost_ | themes mac to ubuntu, from nobslab | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | ikonia, apt-purge? | 07:38 |
| ikonia | ghost_: talk to them then | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | ghost_, ask noslab for support | 07:38 |

| ikonia | orrr no | 07:39 |
| ikonia | it's already installed | 07:39 |
| ikonia | from a ppa | 07:39 |
| ikonia | so trying to install a conflicting version is a bad thing | 07:39 |
| geirha | ikonia: will have to cover all the packages of course | 07:39 |
| ikonia | no you don't | 07:39 |
| ikonia | you're just trying to install conflicting packages | 07:40 |
| ikonia | so covering all would just try to install more conflicting packages | 07:40 |
| geirha | I might not be, but that's the list of packages from the initial apt-get install, it will likely show more packages which needs downgrading, yes | 07:40 |
| ikonia | downgrading ?? they are totally different and in conflict | 07:41 |
| ikonia | you need to resolve the conflict | 07:41 |
| ikonia | and get rid of the PPA stuff | 07:41 |
| ikonia | not try to install from base | 07:41 |
| ikonia | but carry on | 07:41 |
| ghost_ | cfhowlett : ok, I send bug report error | 07:41 |
| geirha | *sigh* fine, I'll leave it to you | 07:41 |
| ikonia | I'm tired of fixing the libreoffice PPA | 07:41 |

| ghost_ | how to read the windows partition after install ubuntu 14:04 ? | 08:07 |
| BenNZ | hi , trying to allow members of the users have access to the shutdown command via sudo without needing password , here is my sudoers file if anyone can help http://paste.ubuntu.com/8307246/ | 08:08 |
| BenNZ | *users group | 08:08 |
| somsip | ghost_: mount it, access it. What filesystem is it? Something normal like NTFS? | 08:08 |
| cfhowlett | ghost_, mount the partition, enter your sudo password when requested. | 08:08 |
| ghost_ | all : how to., ? | 08:09 |
| cfhowlett | ghost_, click on the windows partition. you'll get a pop-up requesting your password. enter password. | 08:10 |
| BenNZ | ghost_: if using win8 , make sure to disable fast boot aswell , otherwise youll only be able to mount the partition read only | 08:10 |
| k1l_ | ghost_: open the file browser, click on the windows partition (named after the size) on the left panel, use it. | 08:10 |
| k1l_ | ghost_: if windows uses the "fast start" thing you cant mount them and need to set that off in windows first | 08:11 |
| anohigisavay | one of the first things i do for every distro i use is install ntfs-config | 08:13 |
| BenNZ | with my problem , looks like all other members of the users group except me can access the shutdown command via sudo without needing a password | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, wait what? you have multiple sudoers? why? | 08:14 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: all i want is members of one group to have access to the shutdown command preferably without a password | 08:14 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: all users of that group can , except for some reason my user (even tho im in the users group) | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, ehhhh, OK. might want to ask #ubuntu-server or ##linx | 08:15 |
| anohigisavay | are you sure? | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | ##linux | 08:15 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: ill try there then thanks | 08:16 |
| anohigisavay | if you just usermod -aG users youself then you'll have to logout before changes come to effect | 08:16 |
| anohigisavay | BenNZ: | 08:16 |
| BenNZ | anohigisavay: im in the users group already | 08:16 |
| anohigisavay | BenNZ: i'm not sure but i suspect the line ben ALL=... overrides the above | 08:18 |
| BenNZ | anohigisavay: just thinking the same thing , but it really shouldnt | 08:19 |
| cynicallemon | anohigisavay: thast what i was thinking | 08:19 |
| BenNZ | anohigisavay: yeah thats it , i commented out my user from sudoers and it works as expected | 08:20 |
| BenNZ | anohigisavay: which is odd im sure in the past ive been able to configure my user to not need a password for certain commands | 08:21 |
| anohigisavay | BenNZ: maybe the order matters | 08:21 |
| anohigisavay | or the settings are processed such that user settings override group setings | 08:22 |
| BenNZ | anohigisavay: im thinking that if i use !/sbin/shutdown on my users line , then i should be able to , i might test that | 08:22 |
| cynicallemon | BenNZ: When multiple entries match for a user, they are applied in order. Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is not necessarily the most specific match) | 08:23 |
| BenNZ | cynicallemon: ok i see | 08:24 |
| cynicallemon | BenNZ: hence it would prompt for a password | 08:25 |
| BenNZ | cynicallemon: ill change the order and see if that makes a difference | 08:26 |
| cynicallemon | BenNZ: seems the logical thing to do | 08:26 |

| mohan3142123 | hello, quick doubt - any help is welcome. NTFS partition with Windows 8 installed. Not booting, has bad sectors. If I do a fresh install of Ubuntu, will it fix/repair/handle the bad sectors? | 10:06 |
| mohan3142123 | or should I do chkdsk first? | 10:06 |
| yubin | :) everybody | 10:07 |
| aaron__ | hi :) | 10:07 |
| ObrienDave | mohan3142123, fresh Ubuntu install will NOT fix windows partition/sectors errors | 10:08 |
| mohan3142123 | sorry, should have been clearer - I meant, if I reformatted the NTFS partition to ext, would it fix the errors? And then install Ubuntu... | 10:10 |
| ObrienDave | mohan3142123, probably yes. doing so will wipe out windows. you sure you want to do that? | 10:10 |
| mohan3142123 | yes | 10:11 |
| ObrienDave | then have fun with it :) | 10:11 |
| MonkDAcez | hey fellas, you guys know any idea where i can find a disassembler program online for a small jo | 10:12 |
| MonkDAcez | job* | 10:12 |
| mohan3142123 | ObrienDave, I meant to install linux anyway. Just wondering if the errors have to be fixed with chkdsk first. I read someplace that this has to be done before formatting to ext. But if the formatting itself would handle the errors, then I can save time and directly go ahead with the linux install... | 10:12 |
| yubin | MonkDAcez google it and it will give you the answer hopefully | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | mohan3142123: i'd chkdsk first | 10:13 |
| MonkDAcez | ok yubin, was hoping for more direct contacts, thanks | 10:13 |
| mohan3142123 | EriC^^: could you explain? As in, why chkdsk first?\ | 10:13 |
| ObrienDave | mohan3142123, running chkdsk first would do a low-level format on the bad sectors first and then mark them as bad if not successful at repair | 10:15 |
| mohan3142123 | ObrienDave: wouldn't a reformat do that as well? or not? | 10:15 |
| ObrienDave | mohan3142123, maybe yes, maybe no. i would think killing the partition/ redefining it would also work. YMMV | 10:16 |
| mohan3142123 | alright. I guess it's a few hours with chkdsk it is then. Thank you ObrienDave and EriC^^ | 10:17 |
| anohigisavay | just recreate the f***ing partition table | 10:18 |
| ObrienDave | mohan3142123, use gparted to redefine and format to EXT. it will be fine | 10:19 |
| ObrienDave | anohigisavay, obfuscated swearing is not allowed here | 10:20 |
| anohigisavay | ok sorry | 10:21 |
| hillary_ | I have downloaded the LibreOffice_4.3.1_Linux_x86_deb.tar.gz. Help me with a terminal command to install it . ubuntu 12.04 | 10:21 |

| ObrienDave | hillary_, unpack the archive first. i need to fine the instructions | 10:23 |
| ObrienDave | *find | 10:23 |
| anohigisavay | Radar: is it upstart script or init.d | 10:23 |
| Radar | anohigisavay: upstart script | 10:23 |
| hillary_ | is it sudo dpkg -i LibreOffice_4.3.1_Linux_x86_deb.tar.gz??? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | hillary_: use the packages provided by ubuntu | 10:23 |
| ikonia | hillary_: no | 10:23 |
| anohigisavay | if it's upstart try start puma-manager | 10:23 |
| ikonia | hillary_: that is not the command | 10:23 |
| ikonia | hillary_: why are you not using the version ubuntu supplies ? | 10:23 |
| ObrienDave | hillary_, no | 10:23 |

| ikonia | hillary_: you need to remove the packages you installed from the PPA | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hillary_: this was explained to you earlier | 10:28 |
| hillary_ | i have done so | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hillary_: then re-install the packages from the stable/supported ubuntu repo, not from a tar file | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hillary_: you have not | 10:29 |

| EriC^^ | pngl: dsdsq it might be something else, winre is just the recovery environment, like a windows environment to install the actual stuff | 11:12 |
| EiriksUbuntu | apeeyush_ during installaton it will offer you the option to update 12.04 to 14.04 and that's what I did. I kept all the packages, then after I booted into the updated OS I let the cleanup/updater do all the rest and it works perfect | 11:12 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: it should be another huge .wim , with a bunch of indexes too, | 11:12 |

| pngl | s/for/of | 11:14 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: what you need to do is extract the image to C: , after creating it | 11:14 |
| dsdsq | EriC^^: winre.wim is maybe 150MB | 11:14 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: then you can use bcdedit C:\windows ..blabla to create the efi files on the efi partition | 11:15 |
| apeeyush_ | EiriksUbuntu: ok. So updating from 12.04 to 14.04 won't wipe off windows.. right? | 11:15 |
| EiriksUbuntu | nope | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | dsdsq: i know, i mean the install.wim | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | and he has to choose the right index as well | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | like it's probably index 3 or 4, mine is 4 | 11:15 |
| EiriksUbuntu | apeeyush_ nope it won't even touch it | 11:15 |
| pngl | EriC^^: I don't know how to do these steps :( For instance "extract the image to C:" ? Do you mean extract the content of install.wim to an NTFS-formatted partition? | 11:16 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: yes, using dism | 11:16 |
| EriC^^ | it's a command line tool found in windows recovery usb's | 11:16 |

| EriC^^ | 1 command hold on | 11:18 |
| pngl | dsdsq: This looks difficult. I will try that, but before, would you have any guesses as to why the normal recovery process fails? As in, there's this Lenovo_Recovery partition, shouldn't I be able to boot an installer from it? | 11:19 |
| EriC^^ | but you already have the recovery partition | 11:19 |
| dsdsq | pngl: you should, use "efibootmgr" on ubuntu to see if there is an entry for lenovo recovery | 11:19 |
| EiriksUbuntu | lol, the new iphones are out today, but they don't got jack on the LG L3 :) | 11:19 |

| pngl | dsdsq: I don't see Lenovo_Recovery listed. Coulud it be because the partition has flags "hidden" set and "boot" unset? | 11:22 |
| EiriksUbuntu | if you want GDE you have to d/l it | 11:22 |
| hillary_ | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8308509/ | 11:22 |

| ObrienDave | hillary_, \o/ YAY | 11:23 |
| EiriksUbuntu | yay! | 11:23 |
| dsdsq | maybe. which lenovo model, btw? | 11:23 |
| EiriksUbuntu | I am having issues with flash plugin installer, it seems that auto updating daily keeps downloading 2 separate packages and replacing each package with the other package. So, *.400.* replaces *.406.*, then *.406.* replaces *.400.* and on and on. | 11:23 |
| pngl | dsdsq: T440s | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | ahhh | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | same model as me | 11:24 |
| hillary_ | ikonia:can i install libreoffice? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | hillary_: yes | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | i went through a lot of pain | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | check your bios, see if rapid start is enabled on power settings | 11:24 |
| pngl | dsdsq: it is | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | it will force-boot windows no f-ing-matter-what | 11:24 |
| dsdsq | disable, reboot and try recobvery | 11:25 |
| ikonia | dsdsq: no need to swear | 11:25 |
| ikonia | please don't | 11:25 |
| pngl | ha thanks i'll try | 11:25 |
| EiriksUbuntu | wow, my cat just hawked up a huge hairball holy cow | 11:25 |
| dsdsq | ikonia: forsakenly | 11:25 |
| dsdsq | ikonia: forsakenly-matter-what | 11:25 |
| ikonia | EiriksUbuntu: try #ubuntu-offtopic for cat hair news | 11:25 |
| EiriksUbuntu | ikonia lol | 11:26 |
| pngl | dsdsq: uefi only/off/both ? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | dsdsq: or just say "sure, no problem" rather than pretend if meant something else | 11:26 |
| dsdsq | pngl: i have uefi and secure boot enabled | 11:26 |
| pngl | you're talking about "rapid start" in Power, not "quick start" in "startup", right? | 11:27 |
| dsdsq | yes | 11:27 |
| dsdsq | pngl: this wont work if the big lenovo recovery partition has been deleted though | 11:27 |
| pngl | dsdsq: no it's still there. well I could explore it from Ubuntu anyway. It does have the flags hidden and not boot though, which disturbs me. | 11:28 |
| dsdsq | MBR boot flag is irrelevant on GPT | 11:28 |
| pngl | right, sorry I'm new to this | 11:28 |
| dsdsq | also the EFI boot part is the only to have the boot flag set | 11:28 |
| dsdsq | and hidden is to make sure you dont use the recovery part for pr0n | 11:29 |
| pngl | ok so I can go to "Windows Boot Manager", which I could before, but it gives me the same message "Unable to reset your PC. A required partition drive is missing". | 11:30 |
| dsdsq | yeah, dont use grub to load windows | 11:30 |
| hillary_ | ikonia: Thank you very much. Am back to normal. God bless you people | 11:30 |
| dsdsq | F12 during bios splash | 11:30 |
| pngl | dsdsq: yeah I'm retrying with F11 at BIOS splash | 11:30 |
| ObrienDave | hillary_, give ikonia a !cookie :) | 11:31 |
| dsdsq | pngl: you rally should do a clean install of windows anyway. the lenovo image is chock-full of crapware made by a chinese government affiliate | 11:31 |
| ikonia | hillary_: no problem | 11:31 |
| hillary_ | He deserve i tell you | 11:31 |
| ikonia | hillary_: try to stay away from PPA's | 11:31 |
| ikonia | hillary_: (PPA's or external repos) | 11:32 |
| hillary_ | I will thank you for your advice | 11:32 |
| ikonia | no problem | 11:32 |
| pngl | dsdsq: damn same message. I'm going to do clean reinstall as you said :) | 11:32 |
| dsdsq | pngl: exttract the key | 11:32 |
| hillary_ | ok | 11:32 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: it's very easy to recover form the recovery partition manually | 11:33 |
| hillary_ | i will be using anything only from ubuntu | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: that said, this will give you you're product key form the bios sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | 11:33 |
| ikonia | hillary_: if you are in any doubt, ask the people in this channel | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: i'd advised against a clean install though | 11:33 |
| pngl | EriC^^: what was that line to extract a key? | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | 11:33 |
| pngl | EriC^^: ah, why? | 11:33 |
| hillary_ | Thank you. I have trusted this channel ever | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | cause first you have to find the proper iso online | 11:33 |
| dsdsq | pngl: if you do a full bios factory defaults and set os optimized defaults to "on" and *then* reinstall windows+ubuntu you will get separate windows and ubuntu entries in the boot (f12) menu | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | and it's a PITA, and you already have everything in your recovery partition | 11:34 |
| dsdsq | pngl: remember to disable rapid start after the facreset though | 11:34 |
| EriC^^ | unless you're anti-bloatware i don't see why you would opt for a fresh install over the oem recovery | 11:34 |
| pngl | EriC^^: should I be worried that the key contains gibberish (box characters with numbers in it)? | 11:35 |
| dsdsq | EriC^^: lenovo is owned by the chinese gov | 11:35 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: the key is the last digits, after the box characters | 11:35 |
| pngl | Ah it's fine,just my terminal acting up. Vim is nicer. | 11:35 |
| EriC^^ | XXXXX-XXXX-.... | 11:35 |
| EriC^^ | 5 of those XXXXX's | 11:35 |
| dsdsq | EriC^^: i cant find my key that way | 11:35 |
| pngl | EriC^^: well I've just tried recovery with the help and dsdsq and I'm going nowhere | 11:36 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: if you have a way of getting a command prompt, then you're all set.. | 11:36 |
| pngl | EriC^^: I'm completely open to suggestions of what I should try, it's just that apart from clean install I'm out of ideas right now. | 11:37 |
| pngl | EriC^^: ok let me try that | 11:37 |

| pngl | EriC^^: oh crap I've formatted the 1GB Recovery partition. Hope that's ok until I reboot. What is the EFI partition? | 11:59 |
| EriC^^ | the efi partition is the partition that holds the boot files | 11:59 |
| EriC^^ | it's like 300mb or so, at the start of the disk | 11:59 |
| EriC^^ | it should be fat32 i think | 11:59 |
| EriC^^ | you should have one, cause ubuntu uses it too | 12:00 |
| pngl | EriC^^: yeah that's fine, I think it is "System" (iirc that's what was mounted as /boot under Ubunut) | 12:00 |
| EriC^^ | is it fat32? | 12:01 |
| knob | Good morning all. An odd error. I want to check my apache logs. I am running 14.04 I want to go to /var/log/apache2/access.log | 12:01 |
| knob | Yet if I go to /var/log and the sudo cd apache2 it tells me cd: command not found | 12:01 |
| knob | Am I missing something basic? | 12:01 |
| EriC^^ | you don't need sudo to cd there | 12:02 |
| pngl | EriC^^: yes. | 12:02 |
| pngl | EriC^^: having trouble formatting Ubuntu partition, sorry, 1mn | 12:02 |
| knob | EriC^^, yet it tells me permission denied if I do cd apache2 | 12:02 |
| EriC^^ | knob: the permissions should be Access: (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 4/ adm) | 12:03 |
| EriC^^ | do stat /var/log/apache2 to check | 12:04 |
| EriC^^ | if you aren't in the adm group you can't access them | 12:04 |
| knob | EriC^^, I got there by doing an interactive shell with sudo -i | 12:04 |
| knob | Going to check now with do stat /var/log/apache2 | 12:04 |
| pngl | EriC^^: I have something strange. There are 4 partitions. LIST PARTITION shows them. SELECT Partition 3 (Ubuntu), then FORMAT says "Please select a volume". But LIST VOLUME shows 3 corresponding to each partition except the Ubuntu one. Or at least the sizes match. | 12:05 |
| knob | EriC^^, I ran the command, and it came back as you posted. (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 4/ adm) | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | ok , type id | 12:05 |
| knob | Ok... my user does not match that | 12:06 |

| kudakwashe | in ubuntu? | 12:35 |
| kudakwashe | what is the difference? | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | kudakwashe, for? | 12:36 |

| EriC^^ | where is this file located? | 12:37 |
| EriC^^ | in my recovery it was in \preload i think | 12:37 |
| kudakwashe | BluesKaj: but what is the difference between .bashrc and .profile ( don't they do the same thing) | 12:37 |
| BluesKaj | kudakwashe, well the tutorial says to use ~/.bashrc | 12:38 |
| pngl | EriC^^: I don't see that directory | 12:38 |
| kudakwashe | BluesKaj: Yeah, but would it work in .profile as well? | 12:38 |

| Lysian | hi, since when are firefox bookmarkbackup files binary? When manually making a backup file it's still a text file .json. | 12:39 |
| kudakwashe | BluesKaj: couldn't the contents of .bashrc and .profile all be in the same file? why is it neccesary to have two files? | 12:39 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: ok, | 12:40 |

| EriC^^ | replace partition with the windows partition | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | kudakwashe, sorry, I'm not familiar with .profile usage and i just use ~/.bashrc for alias commands for the terminal | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | pngl: if you want to try a bigger index first, you can | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | it should have more than 1 index, but i guess it doesnt | 12:42 |
| kudakwashe | thanks i'm outski | 12:42 |
| pngl | EriC^^: ok it's working | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | ok, might be a while | 12:43 |

| jorge | how do I found out what my domain name is? | 12:43 |
| oleole | Hey. I have some problems with a 3G USB modem on my 12.04 installation. Ubuntu recognizes it, and connects to the cellular network, it gets an IP address, but I have no connection to the outside (e.g. I cannot ping; “destination host unreachable”). It looks like the gateway isn’t set up correctly or something. But everything is just plugged&played through network manager. I have another modem that I know works with Ubuntu, and | 12:44 |
| oleole | put the sim card into that, and that works just fine (with the same configuration profile). So it’s something about this modem that doesn’t work correctly | 12:44 |

| EriC^^ | pngl: ok, reboot | 12:58 |
| Ben64 | pngl: doesn't seem like you're asking about ubuntu at all... are you in the correct channel | 12:58 |
| jorge | trim! | 12:58 |
| jorge | trim my jim | 12:58 |
| Radon_3 | sorry, i think you should blame my internet. I want to move some files from my pc to my laptop, now i can use a flash usb stick, but the files are way too huge, and it would take me for ever to move 500GB of files. So I want to be able to share the whole drive in my pc with my laptop, just using a crossover cable. | 12:59 |
| Radon_3 | How can i do this in ubuntu? | 13:00 |
| Radon_3 | both my pc and laptop are using ubuntu 14 | 13:00 |
| pngl | EriC^^: damn you know your stuff | 13:00 |
| hateball | Radon_3: ssh is a simple way | 13:00 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: setup ssh on both and scp it | 13:00 |
| hateball | !ssh | Radon_3 | 13:00 |
| Ben64 | pngl, EriC^^: in the future please don't use this channel for non-ubuntu support | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Radon_3: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 13:00 |
| Igurd | or even rsync :v | 13:00 |
| pngl | EriC^^: I have to go, but thanks a lot. | 13:01 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 13:01 |
| pngl | Ben64: it started off as a GRUB question but EriC^^ and another person noted that it would be quicker to resolve by going through windows | 13:01 |
| Ben64 | Radon_3: does it need to be a crossover cable? would be easier to just have them both plugged into a hub/switch/router | 13:01 |
| Radon_3 | thank you so much folks. But how can i make the two pcs talk? | 13:01 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: I don't have any hubs or routers, yes it wouldbe easier. | 13:02 |
| Radon_3 | :( | 13:02 |
| Ben64 | pngl: seemed like your main issue was getting the windows recovery to boot, which isn't really an ubuntu issue, but whatever | 13:02 |
| Igurd | you have to setup static IPs in the same subnet on both :v | 13:02 |
| Ben64 | Radon_3: then if you have a crossover cable, go for it. set the ips to what Igurd said | 13:03 |
| Radon_3 | awesome,so it is just like windows then. | 13:03 |
| Ben64 | better :P | 13:03 |
| Radon_3 | yes. | 13:03 |
| Ben64 | rsync is fantastic, i recommend it highly | 13:03 |
| Radon_3 | and I guess i need to setup an ssh server on my source pc, and an ssh client on my laptop, is that right? | 13:04 |
| Ben64 | yeah rsync over ssh is probably easiest/best | 13:04 |
| Radon_3 | isn't there probably a way to do this without ssh? | 13:05 |
| Ben64 | many ways | 13:05 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: it is possible to do it either way with scp, but rsync likes to have server on the destination :v | 13:05 |
| jackbrown | does anyone knows a fast way to convert a PDF file to a PDF/A format ? ^^^^^^^^^ | 13:05 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: can you please give me the next easiest way? | 13:05 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: this is the easiest way :v | 13:06 |
| Ben64 | i just like rsync because you can resume transfers, do partial transfers, use compression, etc | 13:06 |
| Ben64 | Radon_3: the next easiest way is much less easy | 13:06 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: preferably one without needing to setup a server on any machine and | 13:06 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: preferably one without needing to setup a server on any machine. | 13:06 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: another one would be setting netcat to listen on the destination, and piping to it from the source with netcat and tar | 13:06 |
| kris_ | hello my sound doesent work at all, i have tried link every method that is by googling that the sound doesent work etc, im on xubuntu 14.04 btw, what can i do?? the music seem to show that it plays inside sound settings while theres not coming sounds from speakers on my laptop at all | 13:06 |
| Ben64 | ssh servers are handy though | 13:06 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: there isn't much to setup | 13:07 |
| Igurd | as in, you just start the service | 13:07 |
| Igurd | and it works :v | 13:07 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: can you please tell me about it? | 13:08 |
| Radon_3 | Ben64: i mean that easiest way | 13:08 |

| fellayaboy | hey i have a problem here with ubuntu 14.04, im using vmware workstation. and after a while my guest operating system's network connection seems to drop... i know it has to do with ubuntu going to sleep in a way... im 99% sure... how can i get ubuntu to never never never go to sleep or turn blank at all...everything at maximum force as if im working on it?> | 13:14 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: you could do something like this http://ay.gw.lt/upload/73107361497335eb04186f1d146098b1cce5dac0a144ea9e4077916a.png :v | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | fellayaboy: settings > power | 13:15 |
| Igurd | just either redirect it to the disk or pipe it to tar, to untar it while it's sending | 13:15 |
| fellayaboy | EriC^^: i did that already | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | so did you set it to never sleep? | 13:16 |
| fellayaboy | the only option i see is suspend when inactive for: dont suspend | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | ok, so that's that | 13:17 |
| fellayaboy | EriC^^: i chose dont suspend but still, why is it that the connection on my vmware goes doo doo brainy on me | 13:17 |

| yogg | Hi on my unutu 12.04 I would like to disable apparmor. I have done the following: "service apparmor stop && service apparmor teardown && update-rc.d -f apparmor remove && reboot". But after the reboot "service apparmot status" shows me that apparmor is running. | 13:17 |

| silverfix | I'm using lvm encrypted FS, is there a way to not ask passwd at boottime ? | 13:18 |
| fellayaboy | but when im on the machine. using it.,..ill never get a warning on my guest os that my connection failed....i know it has to do with ubuntu doing other thigns in the background...seems that the network goes to sleep or something i dont understand it | 13:18 |
| Igurd | Radon_3: if you don't have netcat, you can do this http://hacktux.com/bash/socket :v | 13:18 |
| Radon_3 | Igurd: I think using samba | 13:19 |
| Radon_3 | is easier a bit | 13:19 |
| EriC^^ | fellayaboy: you could look into the power saving of the wifi maybe | 13:19 |
| fellayaboy | i use ethernet cable | 13:20 |
| fellayaboy | and how would i see that | 13:20 |

| bongo12345 | BluesKaj, thanks | 14:05 |
| geirha | no! never use fuser -k without providing a sane signal, like -SIGTERM | 14:05 |
| geirha | it defaults to SIGKILL, which you really don't want to use | 14:05 |

| BluesKaj | EiriksUbuntu, I'm not a programmer , just a user with some experience in linux | 14:11 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: Yes, should be fixed. I've tried suggesting fixes for ubottu factoids before (not that one in particular though), but they've just been silently ignored, so I can't be bothered. | 14:11 |
| chrisss123456 | hey guys, little problem: rhythmbox doesnt want to import music. im trying to move from my mac itunes to rhythmbox, and copying the music folder, but when i try to import, nothing happens.. why? | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, well if it's still on the books and works , who's to argue :) | 14:12 |
| Enno1 | Problem: I have a new lenovo x1 carbon laptop (intel hd graphics) and when I boot from the lubuntu live image, my external display only shows resolutions up to 1080p (i.e. it does not give me the native 2160p resolution as an option). Windows 8, whcih came pre-installed, does this okay. | 14:13 |
| Krisg | hi how can i install Ubuntu on the usb and able to boot on it. Not as an USB Ubuntu installer but an installed OS ? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | geirha: I've not seen a factoid request from you about kill | 14:13 |
| ikonia | geirha: if you'd like to submit it, it can be reviewed | 14:13 |
| geirha | ikonia: as I said, not about that one | 14:14 |
| ikonia | geirha: yes, and if you'd like to submit one it will get reviewed | 14:14 |
| Enno1 | Krisg: do you want a live system on a USB stick? | 14:14 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg you can do that from Ubuntu to the stick | 14:15 |
| EriC^^ | Krisg: just install it on the usb as you usually install, and install grub there | 14:16 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg make sure grub is on any drive you want to boot as linux | 14:17 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: It sets a bad precedent. Maybe dpkg avoids problems with potential corrupton of its data, but other programs might not deal with it that well | 14:18 |
| amae | hi everybody | 14:18 |
| Krisg | Yes Enno1, i like it to be like a portable OS on a USB | 14:19 |
| Enno1 | krisg: find a live image, install it on a USB stick. | 14:19 |
| Krisg | EriC^^: would it not overrite any MBR thingy on my existing OSes on my harddrive? | 14:20 |
| Enno1 | KrisG: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install | 14:20 |
| EriC^^ | doesn't have to be a live image, he wants a standalone ubuntu installation on a usb | 14:20 |
| Krisg | thanks gonna search that out ^^ | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, like I said I've never had problems with it, and it's quite selective being a dpkg command meant to terminate or kill a package manger that's still open or frozen | 14:20 |
| Krisg | thanks for the link Enno1 | 14:20 |
| Enno1 | a live image is going to be the fastest way to get that to happen, though. and best-documented | 14:20 |
| Krisg | Enno1 isnt that the one everytime i restart all the changes will be gone? | 14:21 |
| Enno1 | you might say it's the canonical way. | 14:21 |
| EriC^^ | Krisg: please clarify, is it that you want ubuntu on a usb as a standalone installation ? or you want a liveusb which gives you a try or install ubuntu ? | 14:21 |
| moritzkoeln | join | 14:21 |
| Enno1 | oh, that. yeah, if you want that, you want something else :-) | 14:21 |
| Enno1 | never mind me. | 14:22 |
| Enno1 | I *was* only here to get help with my monitor, not to give advice :-) | 14:22 |
| Enno1 | it's not my day. | 14:22 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg I have a Live USB and USB HDD, I can run them both without the optional install, if you install a live usb from Ubuntu it don't give you the extra install menus as the first load | 14:23 |
| luist | whats the size of 12.04 repos? | 14:23 |
| Enno1 | Not using mode "3840x2160" *exceeds panel dimensions) ?? | 14:24 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: that doesn't mean people won't try it on other files, thinking it is safe since it was used like that for dpkg's lock file | 14:24 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg they give you the option to choose when you run Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu | 14:24 |
| Krisg | EriC^^: a standalone and portal OS on a USB | 14:25 |
| Krisg | EriC^^: portable* | 14:25 |
| EiriksUbuntu | yepI have a 500gb hdd that I can plug into anything and reboot to my OS | 14:26 |
| EriC^^ | Krisg: do you have 2 usb's ? | 14:26 |
| EriC^^ | one only has to be ~1g | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, well I certainly wouldn't suggest using it on anything other than a locked up package manager and never have. | 14:26 |

| ralpheeee | sorry very new ubuntu /xubuntu...can i ask a question here? | 14:33 |
| chrisss123456 | EiriksUbuntu: im reinstalling everything now, but i dont really like what happened. do you know what happened? | 14:33 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg yeah EriC^^ | 14:33 |
| EriC^^ | chrisss123456: i'm sure you can see logs and find out | 14:33 |
| chrisss123456 | EriC^^: yea, it said: The following packages will be REMOVED, and i was stupid enough to press enter, but i dont get why that would be necessary... | 14:34 |
| EiriksUbuntu | I understand that you apt-get etc and it auto removed the other packages, those packages might have been seen as obsolete i'm not sure | 14:34 |
| Krisg | EriC^^: would it not replace any MBR thingy the currency system im using? | 14:34 |

| chrisss123456 | i tried through rhythmbox but it kept failing. | 14:35 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg your going to boot the usb, try ubuntu, use startup disk creator to install Ubuntu onto the second usb as if it were a hard drive | 14:36 |
| EriC^^ | Krisg: no, the bootloader option says where to install grub | 14:37 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg this will not affect the computer at all | 14:37 |
| EriC^^ | EiriksUbuntu: no, he's not! | 14:37 |
| EriC^^ | cut - it - out | 14:37 |
| EiriksUbuntu | what are you talking about? I am running it exactly what he wants right now | 14:38 |
| EriC^^ | EiriksUbuntu: you're suggesting he uses a live usb to create a startup disk on another usb? | 14:38 |
| EriC^^ | if you are asking what im talking about | 14:38 |
| EiriksUbuntu | EXACTLY | 14:39 |
| sri_ | does anyone know netlimiter like software in ubuntu | 14:39 |
| EiriksUbuntu | This option leaves no trace in the computer, which is what he wants | 14:39 |
| EriC^^ | EiriksUbuntu: this option creates another live usb | 14:40 |
| EriC^^ | you're effectively asking him to create a live usb, then use that to create another live usb | 14:40 |
| EiriksUbuntu | yes, one he can do anything with, and another he can boot on any computer anywhere and have his own OS | 14:41 |
| EriC^^ | then why create it from the live usb then? | 14:41 |
| Krisg | EriC^^: Is it ok to use a DVD instead of an USB for the installer? To install to the other USB? | 14:42 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg Yes | 14:42 |
| EriC^^ | Krisg: yes | 14:42 |
| sri_ | does anyone know netlimiter like software in ubuntu | 14:42 |
| Krisg | Tyvm :) | 14:43 |
| EriC^^ | np :) | 14:44 |
| EiriksUbuntu | Krisg just make sure you install onto the USB as if the USB is your hard drive, some computers you boot it with may require you to download additional drivers to work better | 14:46 |

| sarir | amea: you can always manually create a desktop file ( don't know if there is an automated way) (if you want it on the desktop itself, in most cases pinning the application is a better variant) | 15:07 |

| TeraJL | k1l: no | 16:26 |
| amae | TJ-, ok i wait | 16:26 |
| TJ- | amae: OK, the 154 is a BIOS system. So, the symptoms you describe indicate that when installing Ubuntu the boot-loader was not written to the hard disk. The installer doesn't make that optional, so if you installed Ubuntu from a USB flash device, or had other storage devices connected during installation, it is more likely that the boot-loader was written to the wrong device instead. | 16:27 |

| japro | so has anyone fixed issues with a Realtec RTL8188EE wifi adapter on 14.04? | 16:54 |

| Seveas | bugreport time. | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | amae: you just need to put Grub on the MBR and you are done. The "sticking it to grub" guide will show you how | 16:55 |
| japro | i find a bunch of threads about it which either seem to claim that upgrading the kernel to 3.14.1 works (doesn't for me), or that they changed the router settings (not really an option since I don't control routers elsewhere obviously) or just downgrading to 12.04 | 16:55 |
| CatKiller | ChogyDan: The problem is that the trace gives very little indication as of what caused the memory error | 16:55 |
| cimmm | TJ- erm I'm on a 3xxx-k series (VTX no VT-d) | 16:55 |
| ChogyDan | Seveas: it's filed :) I don't know how much attention it will get since it is an old laptop | 16:55 |
| ChogyDan | CatKiller: can I improve that? | 16:56 |
| amae | ActionParsnip, yah.. i try it again to installe ubuntu 14.04 hope this time i get it.. cross finger :p | 16:56 |
| sarahS | on ubuntu, you have this sites-available and sites-enabled setup (and same for mods etc)….on fedora it’s just vhost.conf file in a single directory. Why are they so different? | 16:56 |
| CatKiller | ChogyDan: Probably not. If it keeps happening try to find out why | 16:56 |
| CatKiller | ChogyDan: or exactly how you reproduce it. | 16:56 |
| havarka | ActionParsnip, still the same output when i try to install skype | 16:57 |
| ChogyDan | CatKiller: well, ok. It just happens after a few minutes of use, when graphics are enabled. That's about it :/ I wish I could debug it further. Thanks though :) | 16:57 |

| Slartibartfast13 | http://pastebin.com/7J1WX8Cx | 17:53 |
| adsmz | yeah, #kubuntu wasn't very helpful with my networking issues | 17:53 |
| Slartibartfast13 | The only part of these instructions for installing Other-Life, that I don't understand, is the following: | 17:53 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Set the execute bit on the executable programs (*bin): | 17:53 |
| Slartibartfast13 | chmod +x *bin | 17:53 |
| adsmz | in fact the person helping me dissappeard from the online list | 17:53 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Is that a command line I need to enter in the command terminal, and at what point during the installation do I enter it? | 17:54 |
| EriC^^ | Slartibartfast13: yes, it sets anything that ends with bin, as an executable, you should cd to the folder first and run it | 17:54 |

| EriC^^ | gdb doesn't help with segfaults though does it? | 18:14 |
| luffy | will i i be able to get the line number where segfault is occuring? | 18:14 |
| hashken | luffy: Not sure. I've heard valgrind is good for these purposes | 18:14 |
| xikkub | bt shows your call stack. you might find 'valgrind' to be useful | 18:15 |
| amae | guys, where i can find recycle bin in ubuntu 14.04 | 18:15 |
| edsage | it can help with segfault, but it looks like its encounterng a segfault when it loads the binary | 18:15 |
| edsage | and valugrind is for checking memory leaks | 18:15 |
| edsage | valgrind* | 18:15 |
| luffy | hashken ,whats valgrind? | 18:15 |
| hashken | edsage: Oh, my bad | 18:15 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Do you unzip a file by right clicking on it and choosing unzip, or do you do it in the command konsole? | 18:15 |
| edsage | @amae its called trash in ubuntu | 18:15 |
| EriC^^ | amae: you mean the actual location of it? | 18:15 |
| cn28h | gdb certainly does help with seg faults | 18:16 |
| hashken | luffy: As edsage pointed put, valgrind is a tool for checking memory leaks | 18:16 |
| edsage | and you can find it by opening the file browser and looking at the left | 18:16 |
| cn28h | if you have built with debugging symbols, bt should print the line numbers in the stack trace | 18:16 |
| amae | EriC^^, yes, the exact loc | 18:16 |
| xikkub | valgrind isnt exclusively used for memory leaks, though thats what i use it most often for | 18:16 |
| luffy | so can i debug using valgrind? | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | amae: ~/.local/share/Trash | 18:17 |
| Slartibartfast13 | sorry, EriC^^, for you I asked, "Do you unzip a file by right clicking on it and choosing unzip, or do you do it in the command konsole? | 18:17 |
| cn28h | valgrind is also very useful for memory corruption and catching uninitialized reads | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | amae: it's in the files directory | 18:17 |
| edsage | no, you debug with gdb | 18:17 |
| edsage | you check for memory leaks with valgrind | 18:17 |
| luffy | edsage,what is memory leak? | 18:17 |
| edsage | It's were you told the program to get some memory from the heap but you never told it to delete the memory | 18:18 |
| bkuberek | hello, having an issue with groups -- using usermod -a -G <group> <user> | 18:18 |
| amae | EriC^^, thanks :p | 18:18 |
| edsage | so for instance, you create a pointer, and then don't destroy the pointer, you will have a memory leak at some point | 18:18 |
| EriC^^ | np :D | 18:18 |
| bkuberek | I am logged in as the user and if I do `id` vs `id <username>` different things are displayed | 18:19 |
| xikkub | edsage: only if you've dynamically allocated what it's pointing to, though? | 18:19 |
| edsage | Your problem is that your program is failing, probably because there's an error semantically with your code | 18:19 |
| luffy | edsage,can i get the line number of segfault using gdb? | 18:19 |
| EriC^^ | Slartibartfast13: i think both work | 18:19 |
| EriC^^ | bkuberek: that's normal | 18:20 |
| edsage | If you open it with gdb you can walk through your code until you encounter an error, but it sounds like your error is at the beginning of execution | 18:20 |
| bkuberek | EriC^^: how do I fix that? | 18:20 |

| EriC^^ | why do you want to fix it? | 18:20 |
| luffy | edsage ,how can one figure that out?(where the error is occuring)? | 18:20 |

| Slartibartfast13 | thanks Eric | 18:22 |
| bkuberek | sudo chmod g+rwx somedir | 18:22 |
| edsage | @luffy you may need to just read through the code yourself and diagnose the error. GDB may not work until you've removed some of your intial errors | 18:22 |
| MonkeyDust | bkuberek use a pastebin for multiple lines | 18:22 |

| EriC^^ | CodeGosu: you can use gnome-terminal to open it in a terminal | 18:36 |
| systest | does anyone still use sysstat? the defaults in the package are sort of useless (1 data point every 10 minutes) | 18:36 |
| Slartibartfast13 | EriC^^ Will those 4 steps work? | 18:36 |
| EriC^^ | CodeGosu: gnome terminal -e "bash -c '<yourcommand>; exec bash -i'" | 18:36 |
| EriC^^ | CodeGosu: that will execute it in a terminal, and leave it open after the program finishes | 18:37 |

| JagaJaga | ChogyDan: heh, 9 pkgs with version written did the job... F.. ubuntu | 19:14 |
| ChogyDan | JagaJaga: what do you mean? dist-upgrade just allows new packages to be installed. so apt-get dist-upgrade ceph shouldn't affect the rest of your system | 19:15 |

| ChogyDan | SirRiffsAlot: that is DRM not encryption | 19:19 |

| SirRiffsAlot | ChogyDan: Igurd :-S | 19:21 |
| alicewand | MonkeyDust, I'im new to Ubuntu, what is the repos? | 19:21 |
| havarka | MonkeyDust, and how to you upgrade to new ubuntu version what is the command? | 19:21 |
| MonkeyDust | havarka do-release-upgrade | 19:21 |
| frankqux | I'm trying to find the correct way to invoke the policykit agent via startx/xinit. the end of my .xinitrc looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/8311986/ . it seems to work but I don't know much about dbus/consolekit/policykit so I don't know if those commands overlap or if one is meant to replace another | 19:22 |
| Igurd | SirRiffsAlot: why do you want to do that? :v | 19:22 |
| Igurd | maybe there's another solution | 19:22 |
| havarka | MonkeyDust, but the question is, isnt the best to have LTS ? | 19:22 |
| alicewand | I would like to specify using the i386 instead of the AMD64 version of the package because my machine is 64 bits but I'm doing some 32-bit stuff | 19:22 |
| SirRiffsAlot | Igurd: well, in my school there are several drummers, and I wanna show them my stuff and enable them to listen to it in peace so I'm not there to make them awkward. However I don't want to spread my soundfiles all over the place | 19:22 |
| MonkeyDust | havarka yes, if you want long support | 19:22 |
| alicewand | so I don't want to automatically let wget install the default | 19:22 |
| SirRiffsAlot | Igurd: but DRM sounds good, I'll look into it! Thanks ChogyDan! | 19:23 |
| havarka | and new version if you want new features, correct? MonkeyDust | 19:23 |
| MonkeyDust | havarka yes, if you want the latest and greatest - I prefer LTS releases | 19:23 |
| ChogyDan | SirRiffsAlot: there may not be any sort of DRM available on linux. That might be a dead end, but it is the correct term... | 19:23 |
| clarjon1 | rww: Woohoo! do-release-upgrade worked! After having to install a hard dependency that wasn't taken care of by apt, but still, success! :3 | 19:24 |
| SirRiffsAlot | ChogyDan: any other ideas then? | 19:24 |
| havarka | MonkeyDust, so whats the difference between apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade ? | 19:24 |
| MonkeyDust | havarka that, my friend, i am not sure of myself | 19:25 |
| SirRiffsAlot | havarka: you upgrade for instance kernels as well | 19:25 |
| rww | clarjon1: good to know :D | 19:25 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: apt-get upgrade will select all the packages it can to update, without uninstalling packages. | 19:26 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: apt-get dist-upgrade will do a full upgrade of all packages, even if it means that due to dependency conflicts, packages get removed | 19:26 |
| ChogyDan | SirRiffsAlot: I would use soundcloud or some other service. | 19:26 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: That is the difference from my experiences with it | 19:26 |
| SirRiffsAlot | ChogyDan: Hmm | 19:27 |
| CodeGosu | i want to write a line in sh file that calls terminal, it executes many commands in raw, but i want it to be readable, how to seperate in into several lines? | 19:27 |
| CodeGosu | gnome-terminal -e "bash -c 'cd /home/qq/code; ls; some other actions that might be better on 30 lines; exec bash -i;'" | 19:27 |
| calahan | /sc | 19:27 |
| SirRiffsAlot | ChogyDan: I don't wanna upload stuff into a "cloud", kinda defeats my goal to begin with | 19:27 |
| calahan | sorry missed window | 19:27 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: So if certain packages need to be upgraded in a specific order, which often happens when updating a distro version.... dist-upgrade will nuke a lot of 'em. | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | CodeGosu there's also the channel #bash | 19:27 |
| havarka | so the best is to do apt-get upgrade and then dist-upgrade, and everything should be ok?! | 19:28 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: It's actually best to use the distro upgrade tool that canonical provides | 19:28 |
| clarjon1 | There iiiiis a way to upgrade to another version without it, which includes editing the sources.d yourself and then managing updating the packages yourself ( i've done such things before) but it is NOT recommended at all, unless you know whatyou're doing | 19:29 |
| havarka | clarjon1, ok | 19:29 |
| clarjon1 | havarka: It's mostly a process of try to upgrade everything, find out what it wants to delete to do the upgrade, upgrade the packages it wants to delete first to fix the dependency issues, repeat until system is upgraded | 19:30 |
| clarjon1 | rather tedious and involved. | 19:31 |
| havarka | i see | 19:31 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: I have done that in the past. It isn't worth it. It leaves behind a lot of old packages as well | 19:31 |
| clarjon1 | ^ | 19:31 |
| havarka | and anyway who needs the most up-to-date system when everything works well? | 19:31 |
| havarka | ChogyDan, but you can to autoremove afterwards | 19:31 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: no, you can't | 19:32 |
| alicewand | does anyone know how I can change the architecture on aptitude from amd64 to i386? | 19:32 |
| alicewand | for an installation? | 19:32 |
| alicewand | change the architecture for an aptitude installation from amd64 to i386 | 19:32 |
| havarka | ChogyDan, that sucks | 19:32 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: and further, there are potential configuration issues that are handled by the upgrade tool that wouldn't be handled by such upgrades | 19:33 |
| havarka | ChogyDan, so whats the best way according to you? | 19:33 |
| ChogyDan | I ran into all this stuff because years ago, I didn't know they had an upgrade tool | 19:33 |
| jgornick | Hey guys, is it possible to install an older version of a package from a PPA? For example, I'm trying to install an older version of Node.js from https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/ubuntu/node.js | 19:33 |
| SleepyPi1achu | Can anyone help me with this: http://pastebin.com/AwgdkQkz I'm stuck in a loop (sudo apt-get -f install instructs me to call it again) | 19:34 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: I dunno, either the upgrade tool, or clean installs I guess | 19:36 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: what is the output of apt-get install libnss3? | 19:36 |
| havarka | but before you said it leaves lot of old packages, but still its the best? | 19:37 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/1er0yUg7 | 19:37 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: the do-release tool and the graphical tool have a part where they remove the old packages | 19:38 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Slartibartfast13 | ||
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: apt-cache policy libnss3* | 19:38 |
| havarka | i see, so the tool its the best, no disadvantages | 19:38 |
| SleepyPi1achu | http://pastebin.com/PvPKpWnV | 19:39 |
| ChogyDan | havarka: it is where the ubuntu devs put all their work to make things work. So, if there are any bugs that someone comes up with a fix for, it will be integrated into those tools. They are where the best will go, I suppose | 19:40 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: forgot to tag you, sorry. Thanks for your help so far :-) | 19:40 |
| Slartibartfast13 | EriC^^ I created a directory called ol_linux, then I moved the zip file to that directory and extracted the zip file there, and it automatically created a new directory called ol_linux with the ol_linux directory | 19:40 |
| Slartibartfast13 | within the ol_linux directory, (same name) | 19:40 |
| autoburger | Slartibartfast13: you are learning the ancient sorcery of zip and unzip | 19:41 |
| autoburger | are you standing ina macgic circle? | 19:41 |
| autoburger | or pentagram | 19:41 |
| autoburger | ? | 19:41 |
| Slartibartfast13 | in that double directory, it created a bunch of folders and files and two of the files are bin files | 19:42 |
| havarka | ChogyDan, thanks for explanations | 19:42 |
| Slartibartfast13 | So how do I make those two bin files executable? | 19:42 |
| havarka | PROBLEM: I am using Chrome, and when I click on magnet link on thepiratebay or kickass i guess it aplly to any other site as well instead of opening the deluge its just open new window in google, how to associate deluge with chromium? | 19:43 |
| Slartibartfast13 | I tried the command chmod +x *bin, but Kubuntu told me "Cannot access chmod: no such file or directory" | 19:43 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: where did you get libnss3-1d? Did you download it separately? When did these errors start? | 19:43 |
| === tiny is now known as Guest7993 | ||
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: I tried to manually install some packages from 14, I understand that was a mistake but I'm having trouble correcting it. :P | 19:44 |
| Slartibartfast13 | EriC^^ et autoburger chmod: cannot access ‘*bin’: No such file or directory | 19:44 |
| ikonia | Slartibartfast13: then you are not in the same directory as the file you are trying to chmod | 19:44 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: would you be ok with removing those 2 packages, and then reinstalling them? That would down grade their versions, and they would be removed temporarily | 19:45 |
| ikonia | it's not just the two packages | 19:45 |
| ikonia | did they pull in any dependencies | 19:45 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: I've tried to do that but I'm more than happy to give it a shot. I've taken a snapshot of my vm anyway - I can always roll back | 19:45 |
| ikonia | did they force the upgrade of any packages currently installed to meet dependencies | 19:45 |
| Slartibartfast13 | I ran "ls" in the ol._linux directory, and got two names....ol_linux....and.....ol_linux_193.zip | 19:46 |
| ikonia | Slartibartfast13: what exactly are you trying to do | 19:46 |
| ikonia | Slartibartfast13: you seem to have been struggling for a while now | 19:46 |
| Foxy1604 | hi!! | 19:46 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Yeah, I need to go inside the ol_linux which is inside the directory of the same name | 19:46 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: if you wanted to upgrade libnss3, or whatever, you would need to uprade all the dependencies from whatever source you are using, fyi | 19:46 |
| Foxy1604 | Anyone wanna help me with a Ubuntu related question?? (My sister broke her laptop while updating x3) | 19:46 |
| Guest7993 | How bad is it? | 19:47 |
| Slartibartfast13 | ikonia, Install and excecute the game called Other-Life, that is my goal | 19:47 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: Can you help me with what you suggested? Removing the package and then installing it again from the repo? I'll upgrade to 14 once I'm table | 19:47 |
| SleepyPi1achu | stable* | 19:47 |
| Slartibartfast13 | I am running Kubuntu 14.04 off a live CD | 19:47 |
| ikonia | SleepyPi1achu: it's not just those packages | 19:48 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: apt-get remove libnss3-1d libnss3-nssdb | 19:48 |

| ChogyDan | ikonia: he installed those 2 packages from random debs, it looks like. That's why it can't find the dependencies since it wans't through apt | 19:49 |
| x_root | but this is working now only with super+tab.. how to fix this? | 19:49 |
| Foxy1604 | my sis was upgrading her laptop (a old Samsumg mini-laptop with Atom processor) but got a bit impatient and turned it off while upgrading.. | 19:49 |
| ikonia | ChogyDan: it will still match dependencies | 19:49 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: was there any valuable data on it? | 19:50 |
| Foxy1604 | now it trows a lot of error messages like packages that can be found but it dont wanna install | 19:50 |
| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: all of her homework and programms | 19:50 |
| Foxy1604 | the homework is something i can save but the programs.. | 19:51 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ikonia: Agreed but can't I now install the correct packages at the bottom of the tree> | 19:51 |
| Foxy1604 | that is the big how.. | 19:51 |
| ChogyDan | ikonia: the updated depends aren't available in the repos. Here is what he posted, fyi: http://pastebin.com/PvPKpWnV | 19:51 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: Can you boot into recovery from GRUB? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ChogyDan: then it wouldn't have installed | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ChogyDan: if the dependencies couldn't be met as they are not available, it wouldn't have installed | 19:51 |
| ChogyDan | ikonia: good point. I don't know how he got those packages on his system | 19:52 |
| Slartibartfast13 | I used these commands, and it worked...kubuntu@kubuntu:~/ol_linux$ cd /home/kubuntu/ol_linux/ol_linux | 19:52 |
| Slartibartfast13 | kubuntu@kubuntu:~/ol_linux/ol_linux$ chmod +x *bin | 19:52 |
| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: yes i can! :D | 19:52 |
| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: let me do that right now ;) | 19:52 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: Try restarting the upgrade from there with sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:52 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Does that mean the two bin files in that double directory are now executable? | 19:52 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: You may need to run sudo dkpg --configura -a also | 19:53 |
| fdisk122 | *configure | 19:53 |
| Foxy1604 | okay!! | 19:53 |
| Foxy1604 | just a sec :3 | 19:53 |
| fdisk122 | If that doesn't work there's a fix you can try if you can boot to an Ubuntu live CD or USB | 19:53 |

| notnarb | I've added a stick of ram to my computer and everything seems to be working fine (even ran a pass of memtest), but now I can't resume from suspend without the computer seizing on a black screen (cursor appears and can be moved for a short while, then frozen). I diffed my pm-suspend.log and no difference from a successful resume. (14.04/3.13) | 19:54 |
| notnarb | Do I need to increase my swap size maybe? | 19:54 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: where did you get those packages from? | 19:54 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: ikonia I installed them from debs downloaded from here and similar http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/amd64/libnss3/download | 19:54 |
| evil_dan2wik | notnarb, yes. | 19:54 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: First try resuming the update and upgrade with apt-get | 19:54 |

| === newbie is now known as Guest8610 | ||
| Slartibartfast13 | cli? What is cli? | 20:00 |
| Slartibartfast13 | cli = command line? | 20:00 |

| MonkeyDust | cli = command line interface, as opposed to gui, graphic user interface | 20:01 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: yeah, sorry, I can't help with installing packages across releases. I can help downgrading back to normal if that's what you'd like | 20:01 |
| Spec | or webui, :p | 20:01 |
| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: Perhaps try sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 20:01 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: Yeah I just want to get back into a stable state | 20:01 |
| fdisk122 | or if you have ppa-purge installed use that | 20:01 |
| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: okay!! just a sec :3 | 20:01 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: did that remove command work? | 20:01 |
| fdisk122 | then sudo apt-get update again and sudo apt-get -f install | 20:01 |

| Slartibartfast13 | should I type this in the command line?..... ./ol.x86-64.linux.bin ? | 20:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Slartibartfast13 yes, if you are in the right folder | 20:02 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: That leaves me with http://pastebin.com/N4s11G5k | 20:02 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: and apt-get -f install takes me back to the start state I think | 20:03 |

| MonkeyDust | alicewand it says here, gfortran is gcc relatede ... are you a developer | 20:05 |
| ChogyDan | SleepyPi1achu: maybe try: dpkg --remove on the two packages. If that doesn't work, dpkg --remove --force-all. When it does work, apt-get install -f | 20:05 |
| alicewand | I'm a grad student | 20:05 |

| alicewand | I do need to run the fortran, and the fortran is f77 | 20:06 |
| alicewand | I have some computer background | 20:06 |
| ChogyDan | alicewand: off hand suggestion, install a virtualmachine, and run a 32bit version of ubuntu. | 20:07 |
| SleepyPi1achu | ChogyDan: You're a hero. Thanks :-) | 20:07 |

| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: i hope it helps :3 | 20:09 |
| Guest8610 | Slartibartfast13, maybe +x flag missed on your file? chmod +x ? | 20:10 |
| fdisk122 | He doesn't have the correct dependencies or something it seems | 20:10 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev | 20:10 |

| fdisk122 | Foxy1604: I'll check out the error now it's loading | 20:11 |
| trism | alicewand: I just ask because it is looking for a symbol from the cuba lib according to a quick google search | 20:11 |
| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: kay! | 20:11 |
| ChogyDan | Foxy1604: can you install pastebinit? | 20:11 |
| Slartibartfast13 | fdisk122 Keep in mind I am running a live Kubuntu CD. Will those commands still work? | 20:11 |

| Foxy1604 | ChogyDan: if i could.. it does not let me install me anything.. (even apt-get install -f) does nothing | 20:12 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Is that all one huge comnmand line, fdisk122 ? | 20:12 |
| ChogyDan | Foxy1604: what is the error when you try pastebinit? | 20:12 |
| alicewand | if I put -lcuba, it says it can't find -lcuba | 20:13 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: yes | 20:13 |
| trism | alicewand: do you have libcuba3-dev installed? | 20:13 |
| alicewand | trism, I guess not | 20:13 |
| Foxy1604 | ChogyDan: that the install has failed and that i should try -f (which i already used x3) | 20:13 |
| alicewand | trism, should I get libcuba3:i386 or libcuba3-dev:i386 | 20:14 |
| ChogyDan | Foxy1604: what is the error when you do -f? | 20:14 |

| Slartibartfast13 | or do I still need to execute that file called ol.x86-64.linux.bin, fdisk122 ? | 20:20 |
| trism | alicewand: you might only need the lib, since you don't seem to need the header, and just pass the full path to the libcuba.so.3 lib instead of -lcuba, the -dev package just creates a link to libcuba.so | 20:20 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: That should be the game I think | 20:20 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Do I still need to execute that bin file, fdisk122 ? | 20:21 |

| Foxy1604 | fdisk122: ChogyDan kay!! but it still say's that plymouth needs to be reinstalled but the laptop cannot find the package.. xP | 20:31 |

| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: That shell script is probably the best bet either way. I'm a big fan of dualbooting though. | 20:33 |
| alami | no one here can help? | 20:34 |
| Slartibartfast13 | those guys convinced me that dual booting requires maintenance and troubleshooting skills beyond my knowledge and expertise | 20:34 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: I'm using a school computer that I installed a secondary partition onto | 20:34 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: nobody else even KNOWS about the partition and it still works | 20:34 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: That's how low maintenance it is | 20:35 |
| Slartibartfast13 | fdisk122: What is the native OS running on that school PC? | 20:35 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: Windows 7 | 20:35 |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: I think that was a false deduction on your part, based on BluesKaj and myself discussing various issues with dual-boot vs VM use for a Windows + Ubuntu installation. | 20:35 |
| Slartibartfast13 | This PC has Windows XP installed on it | 20:36 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: The host OS wasn't affected at all except a little bit of drive space being eaten up by my partition. All their accounts, domain setup, networking etc. is not affected | 20:36 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Yes, it was them, BluesKaj and TJ | 20:36 |
| trism | alicewand: is the MBpart1ep0.f file something you could pastebin or add to the askubuntu post? | 20:37 |
| fdisk122 | Slartibartfast13: Windows XP is also based on NTFS and the partition will resize in the same way as Windows 7. The only reason not to do it is if you don't have enough extra disk space | 20:37 |
| mjrosenb | ok, well, my issue is that there are some post-hooks that are /supposed/ to be run, and are not being run. | 20:38 |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: Our discussion ws focused on whether, with a VM basis, Windows or Ubuntu should be the bare-metal OS. I was making the point that if the Windows programs intended to be used require hardware 3D acceleration, then Windows as the bare-metal OS and Linux in VMs would be better than Linux as bare-metal OS with Windows in VM | 20:38 |
| mjrosenb | and I suspect one of the post hooks is responsible for actually putting the new kernel in place. | 20:38 |
| === user_326 is now known as c107 | ||
| mjrosenb | I guess I can try removing and re-installing the kernel? | 20:38 |
| Slartibartfast13 | But I thought I heard someone say there would be problems if I try creating a duel boot system. Someone warned me against it | 20:39 |
| alicewand | trism, here: http://pastebin.com/hgML3TXi http://mbtools.hepforge.org/ | 20:39 |
| Slartibartfast13 | May be the only problem is that WIndows XP is no longer supported or secure. Is that the only problem with my proposed duel boot system? | 20:40 |
| mjrosenb | Slartibartfast13: *dual, and it very much can work, just setting it up sometimes requires a bit of effort. | 20:40 |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: Dual boots once set up are fine - we were talking about how with Legacy BIOS systems multiple OSs have to 'fight' for who gets control of the MBR sector 0 of the boot disk - the preferred installation order is Windows first, then Linux+GRUB so GRUB then acts as boot-loader for both Linux and Windows. | 20:41 |
| mjrosenb | Slartibartfast13: unless you plan on running both operating systems at the same time, and see which one kills the other first. | 20:41 |
| TJ- | Slart_: If Windows is installed after Linux+GRUB, it replaces GRUB's MBR boot-strap code in sector 0 with the Windows boot-strap code, and then there is no way to boot Linux | 20:41 |
| MonkDAcez | then you use a live linux usb and reinstall grub | 20:42 |
| Slartibartfast13 | Well, Windows XP is already installed on this PC | 20:42 |
| mjrosenb | Slartibartfast13: also, if you have certain antiviruses installed in windows, they check the mbr, and refuse to boot windows if it isn't exactly the one that they saw when they were installed. | 20:42 |
| * mjrosenb ran afoul that in 2005 or so, with mcafee (mcaffee?) | 20:43 | |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: So, installing Ubuntu now should be fine - GRUB will become the system's boot-loader, and it will add Windows to the boot loader menu so you can choose between Ubuntu and Windows each time the system starts | 20:43 |
| Slartibartfast13 | sounds like a great idea, TJ, but I doubt it will work that easily. There will be troubleshooting required, I think | 20:45 |
| Slartibartfast13 | even if I only stick to one OS at a time | 20:45 |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: No more than you've been doing so far this evening; and probably a lot less, verging on nil | 20:46 |
| Slartibartfast13 | However, this whole dual boot system idea looks very attractive now | 20:46 |
| Slartibartfast13 | You got a link for dual boot instructions for Windows XP and Kubuntu? | 20:47 |
| TJ- | Slartibartfast13: I tend to think any issues you have will be with the learning curve of adopting Linux/Ubuntu methodologies | 20:48 |

| Pyro_Killer | hello everyone, I have installed ubuntu 14.04 minimalist on a desktop, and I want to reinstalll it, however when I boot from the USB key it runs me straight in to the grub of the disk and I can't seem to reinstall, the disk is disabled from boot in the bios | 21:28 |
| janusz__ | Good evening dear professionals. | 21:28 |
| ikonia | Pyro_Killer: how many non-usb disks are in the system ? | 21:30 |
| Pyro_Killer | ikonia: one | 21:30 |
| ikonia | Pyro_Killer: so if there is only 1 disk in the system, that means that has to have the boot sector on | 21:31 |
| Pyro_Killer | wait, sod I might be back... MBR is written to the wrong bleeding disk i think | 21:31 |
| ikonia | Pyro_Killer: so either a.) you've not disabled it as a boot device in the bios b.) your bios is faulty | 21:31 |
| ikonia | wrong disk ? | 21:31 |
| ikonia | you said there is only 1 disk in it | 21:31 |
| Pyro_Killer | to my USB stick | 21:32 |
| ikonia | errr that has to have a valid boot sector on to boot the livecd from it | 21:32 |
| ikonia | if you can boot without the usb disk in - then you know the OS is booting from the disk | 21:32 |
| Pyro_Killer | it didn't | 21:33 |
| ikonia | it didn't boot ? | 21:33 |
| Pyro_Killer | it only booted when the usb was selected as 1st boot disk | 21:34 |
| ikonia | so you have your answer then | 21:34 |
| Pyro_Killer | I did a derp | 21:34 |
| Pyro_Killer | on another note, does anyone have a fairly simple way of getting 14.04 on to a wpa2 through CLI | 21:36 |
| Pyro_Killer | the installer has no problem connecting, but once I booted up it will not connect | 21:36 |

| Pyro_Killer | thank you rberg_ | 21:37 |
| rberg_ | somethineg like 'nmcli dev wifi con "Cafe Hotspot 1" password caffeine name "My cafe"' | 21:37 |
| Pyro_Killer | does it have an "autoconnect" where it starts up automatically and connects to whatever is available? | 21:40 |
| rberg_ | yeah, not sure how you set that from the cli as I mostly use the gui | 21:40 |
| jhutchins | Pyro_Killer: If it's a static network you can put it in /etc/network/interfaces | 21:41 |
| jhutchins | Pyro_Killer: Are you thinking of a mode where it has multiple networks configured and joins whatever one becomes available? | 21:41 |
| rberg_ | 'nmcli -f GENERAL,WIFI-PROPERTIES dev list iface wlan0' shows GENERAL.AUTOCONNECT: yes | 21:42 |

| mykey | Ive reinstalled because I gave up on it but I did it again...all I did was click on the eject button and now nothing mounts | 22:39 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: If you can identify which device the mouse is in sysfs, then "echo disabled > /sys/devices/...../power/wakeup" should stop it waking up | 22:39 |
| mykey | usb does but my disc drive is usless now | 22:40 |
| Ben64 | waykool99: seriously, STOP pm'ing me | 22:40 |
| ObrienDave | mykey, are ther similar problems under a different OS? | 22:40 |
| Pyro_Killer | I installed the MBR to the wrong disk, how does one write the MBR to the other disk? | 22:41 |
| HikaruBG | Thanks TJ- | 22:41 |
| smw | Pyro_Killer, grub-install | 22:41 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: Do you see the device name in the output of this command "cat /sys/class/input/mouse?/device/name" ? | 22:41 |
| mykey | Not that I recall... | 22:42 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: If you do, which line 1st, 2nd, 3rd ...? | 22:42 |
| mykey | just wonder why if i eject a cd/dvd it wont mount the entire drive again | 22:42 |
| Ben64 | mykey: insert a new cd/dvd you'd like to mount, then pastebin the output of "dmesg" | 22:43 |
| HikaruBG | yep, TJ- mouse3 shows: "HP HP Link-5 micro dongle" | 22:43 |
| mykey | will do one sec | 22:43 |
| TJ- | HikaruBG: OK ... | 22:44 |
| mykey | um that is alot | 22:44 |
| ObrienDave | mykey, check under "removable drives and media" there is an auto-mount setting there | 22:44 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| TJ- | HikaruBG: I'm looking for the easy way to link the mouse to the USB port :) | 22:45 |
| mykey | Cant locate "removable drives and media"...how do I find it? | 22:46 |
| ObrienDave | mykey, i'm in Xubuntu. your settings might be different | 22:47 |
| HikaruBG | OK thanks guys - this is irrelevant :) will deal with it later. Thanks TJ- | 22:48 |
| ObrienDave | waykool99, are you going to pastebin some stuff for us to look at? | 22:49 |
| ObrienDave | or continue to irritate people trying to help you for free? | 22:49 |

| anivair | Hi there, anyone know anything about NoMachine? I'm in a bind here. | 22:52 |
| anivair | I've been using nxclient for a while. Someone was kind enough to install on the wrong architecture and NoMachine won't connect to my nx server | 22:52 |
| ObrienDave | anivair, and this relates to Ubuntu support how? | 22:54 |
| anivair | Sorry, the client an sever are both ubuntu machines. We run an ubuntu shop here mostly. | 22:54 |
| anivair | I should have specified | 22:54 |

| anivair | I'm just trying to coble what they have here for one user | 23:00 |
| anivair | the nx server still works fine | 23:00 |
| anivair | an older nxclient connects fine as well | 23:01 |

| Bobbo__ | Hi. Could someone help me get ubuntu running on a laptop please? It seems to work from a live USB, but then won't boot after the first time. =/ | 23:18 |
| === user_233 is now known as c107 | ||
| jiohdi | it wont boot from the usb after the first time? | 23:18 |
| Bobbo__ | No, it won't boot from the hard drive from the first time. | 23:19 |
| ObrienDave | dual boot? | 23:19 |
| Bobbo__ | Like, uhh. I do the installation, I click to reboot now and it boots fine. But if I restart afterwards it won't. | 23:19 |
| Bobbo__ | No | 23:19 |
| ObrienDave | what do you get? | 23:20 |
| jiohdi | black screen? does alt-ctrl-f1 give you a terminal? | 23:20 |
| Bobbo__ | It falls through to trying to boot from the network device. | 23:20 |
| Bobbo__ | Like, it doesn't even know the hard drive has bootable content on it. | 23:21 |
| rellis | Anyone know of a way in sh (dash) to pass this string as a single argument to a program? JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -XX:OnError=\"kill\ -9\ %p\"" | 23:21 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Between the time it boots correctly and the time it doesn't, do you remove any USB flash storage device? | 23:21 |
| ObrienDave | check your BIOS settings | 23:21 |
| rellis | the spaces in the kill command make it end up as multiple arguments when it should be one | 23:21 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: No. I removed the flash drive during the first shutdown. | 23:22 |
| ObrienDave | it can't parse nested quotes | 23:22 |
| Bobbo__ | ObrienDave: Anything more specific, I've already been in there... But it's a Toshiba Satellite S50 and there isn't much I can do. =/ | 23:22 |
| jiohdi | Bobbo__, what happens on the screen when you boot? | 23:22 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Does the system have UEFI firmware? | 23:23 |
| ObrienDave | Bobbo__, look at the boot order. CD/DVD 1st, USB drive 2nd, Internal drive 3rd. | 23:23 |
| Bobbo__ | jiohdi: Toshiba splash, some black and then network boot stuff | 23:24 |
| Metaliinuxite | hey guys | 23:24 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: Yes | 23:24 |
| Bobbo__ | ObrienDave: It's in USB, CD, HDD, network iirc. | 23:25 |
| Bobbo__ | Possibly CD and USB other way around, either way it's definitely in the right order to boot from HDD (I ain't that foolish) | 23:25 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Did it install in UEFI mode then try to boot in CSM legacy mode, or visa-versa? | 23:25 |
| Bobbo__ | What's CSM? | 23:25 |
| Metaliinuxite | so i deleted my partition table from gparted (all ntfs) and i boot up Ubuntu Live and all the drives are listed properly!! now how do i write that partition table to my drive? | 23:25 |
| Bobbo__ | (Probably not) | 23:25 |
| Metaliinuxite | i tried gpart but it just hangs at the "begin scan" part | 23:26 |
| Metaliinuxite | and I don't like testdisk because a reboot is necessary | 23:26 |

| TJ- | Bobbo__: Compatibility Support Module, the part of UEFI that handles old-style (Legacy) BIOS boot | 23:26 |

| Metaliinuxite | Ubuntu figured the parition table perfectly, but how do I make it permanent? | 23:27 |
| Metaliinuxite | *partition | 23:27 |
| Bobbo__ | Just checked bios; secure boot is disabled, boot mode is UEFI. | 23:28 |
| Guest32543 | hi i am using recordmy desktop, but i cant record my sound from my usb mic | 23:28 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK, and is there an "Ubuntu" entry in the UEFI boot menu? If not, it's been installed in CSM legacy mode | 23:28 |
| havarka | Metaliinuxite, what do you mean did you installed it? or You on LiveCD? | 23:29 |
| Bobbo__ | Um, what boot menu? | 23:29 |
| Metaliinuxite | havarka: live cd | 23:29 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: Maybe I should of clarified, I don't even get to grub. It's like the bios thinks the HDD isn't bootable. | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: That is what I'd expect. If Ubuntu was installed in Legacy mode (meaning the installer was started in that mode), then if the system doesn't have CSM enabled it won't try to boot via an MBR boot-strap. The opposite is also possible: if Ubuntu was installed in EFI mode and added itself to the UEFI boot manager (through the efibootmgr program), then it is possible the UEFI firmware has 'lost' the entry due to some firmware bug. | 23:34 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Boot the Live ISO again, then use "Try Ubuntu" and we can investigate | 23:34 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: This illustration might help you understand better: https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/ | 23:35 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: That looks freaking complicated, heh. | 23:39 |
| Bobbo__ | okay. So I'm in the try ubuntu thingy. | 23:39 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: but it shows how minor differences can cause problems, and roughly where they're caused based on how far the system gets | 23:40 |
| Bobbo__ | Okay; so where do we start investigating? L3 | 23:41 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: First, start a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) so we can type commands in the shell | 23:42 |
| jponc_ | hi guys | 23:43 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: I'm not new to linux, just this laptop. I'm reasonably command savvy, btw | 23:43 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Yay! saves me some typing :) | 23:43 |
| Bobbo__ | :) | 23:43 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: "ls /sys/firmware/" ... is there a "efi/" directory? | 23:43 |
| HikaruBG | Well well... :) I need now to setup a secured file server | 23:43 |
| Bobbo__ | yes | 23:43 |
| HikaruBG | on Ubuntu | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: In that directory are there others, including efivars/ ? | 23:44 |
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: Yes | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: That tells us the system booted in UEFI mode. | 23:44 |
| jponc_ | Any new news regarding ubuntu? :D | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: That could be useful later once we look at the installed system, in terms of what we need to do to repair it | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK, now lets find out what block devices there are: "pastebinit < <(sudo lsblk)" | 23:47 |
| Bobbo__ | dling pastebinit first. | 23:47 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK :) | 23:48 |
| Bobbo__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8313984 | 23:49 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK, so sda will be the installed system. "pastebinit < <(sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print)" | 23:50 |
| Bobbo__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314003 | 23:51 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK, It's GPT and partition #1 is FAT32 and is about 512MB so that'll be an EFI System Partition (ESP) | 23:52 |
| === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i | ||
| TJ- | Bobbo__: "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /target" then check that looks like the root file-system with "ls /target" | 23:53 |
| === EriC^^ is now known as eeee | ||
| Bobbo__ | TJ-: Ya, that's the root fs | 23:53 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: OK, check that "ls /target/boot/" has an "efi/" directory (that is currently empty) | 23:54 |
| Bobbo__ | Aye, it's empty | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Now lets check the ESP has what we expect in it: "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /target/boot/efi" | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Bobbo__: Then "pastebinit < <(find /target/boot/efi)" | 23:55 |
