[00:00] back! [00:00] echo Acquire::GzipIndexes "false" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02nogz [00:00] will fix that right? [00:01] or is it echo APT::Acquire::GzipIndexes "false" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02nogz [00:01] TJ-: What was that command you wanted me to run? [00:01] just open it with sudo nano and change that to false by hand [00:03] uselessn00b: Ahhh, maybe you need 'sudo': "sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog" [00:03] Anyone know how to change the time from military to normal on cairo? I'm tryying it out as a replacement to unity [00:04] TJ-: "Unable to read from: /var/log/syslog" [00:06] uselessn00b: Is it missing? "ls -l /var/log/syslog" [00:06] Michael87: That's sometimes configurable via the Locale/Language > Time and Date setttings [00:07] It says that I cannot access it. [00:07] 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 [00:08] "video sudo plugdev audio" [00:08] uselessn00b: OK, it is, so try "sudo ls -l /var/log/syslog" [00:09] 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] Michael87: So the dock is ignore the settings? [00:09] that is lower case L and -L (lower case), right? [00:09] useless, it is [00:09] TJ-, yeah I know right? [00:10] Not working... [00:10] TJ-, the cairo dock has its own settings. Trying to figure it out [00:10] uselessn00b: What does "not working" mean? [00:10] ls: cannot access -: no such file or directory. [00:10] uselessn00b: What have you done to that system!? [00:10] TJ-, I'll get there. it reminds me manually changing it with lubuntu. Probably the same method will work [00:10] I just installed it a couple nights ago. o_O [00:11] uselessn00b: I too find it hard to believe that file does not exist. what returns -> ls -al /var/log/ [00:11] uselessn00b: "sudo ls -latr /var/log/" --- do you see any log files/directories? [00:11] Bashing-om: That did something. [00:11] uselessn00b: We need *specific accurate* feedback from you; we can't guess what you're seeing! [00:12] Sorry! [00:12] Uh, should I paste bin it? [00:12] uselessn00b: E.g. ... "it listed about 20 files and 5 directories, some of which were named ..." [00:12] yeah, that. [00:12] uselessn00b: Yes please - pastebin is our lifeline [00:12] Uh, I'm so useless. [00:12] Living up to the name. [00:12] Hold on. [00:13] my best guess the issue is in the proposed repo [00:13] uselessn00b: No you're not, you're doing it, you just lack a little specificity, but you're learning rapidly [00:13] I'm having trouble paste binning it now. [00:13] something to do with my syntax surely. [00:13] uselessn00b: It is a thought process, and a process of learning ( TJ- teaches me bunches !) . [00:14] Tell me it's unable to read from ls [00:14] 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 [00:15] uselessn00b: "pastebinit < <(sudo ls -altr /var/log/) " [00:15] Failed to connect to server? [00:16] uselessn00b: network issue then, the PC lost connectivity? [00:16] uselessn00b: Are you doing -> ls -al /var/log/ | pastebinit <- . that works for me ! [00:17] 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] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304500/ [00:17] uselessn00b: It'll look similar to "Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:390 Missed beacon:0" [00:18] is there a way I can encrypt my home folder in linux? [00:18] I don't want to create a new user account, I want to encrypt my existing home folder [00:18] iwconfig not found [00:19] uselessn00b: Something very wrong: "cat /etc/issue" what does that report? [00:19] coolstar: Yes. the ecryptfs tools [00:19] "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l" [00:20] Oh, I don't know if this is relevant but I'm fairly certain I have installed Linux to an SD card. [00:20] TJ-: so how do I use it? [00:20] coolstar: "man ecryptfs-setup-private" [00:20] coolstar: If not installed, "sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils" [00:21] 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. [00:22] 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] I'd like to know which is the equivalent for "real" in the non-builtin time command output (/usr/bin/time) [00:23] TJ-: Oh, damn. I spent so much time just trying to install this the other day! [00:23] zerick: Don't you just need "--portability" ? [00:23] TJ-: Is it because I have it installed to an SD card? [00:23] 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 . [00:24] uselessn00b: Installation target should have no affect; everything is a block device as far as Linux is concerned [00:25] Bashing-om, I would say you have a lot more log files because your computer has been running for a lot longer [00:27] spearhead: Partly true, but look at the logs that useless doesn't not have ? [00:27] Should my laptop normally be visible on a Windows network? [00:28] uselessn00b: Not unless the samba utilities are installed - not sure if they are installed by default, probably so [00:29] ubuntu 14.04 is very good system [00:30] Can I try installing them before doing a clean install? [00:30] Bashing-om, yeah, that is odd... he doesn't even have auth.log...

[01:04] jimbob, disable fastboot in windows8, and see this manual [01:04] !uefi [01:04] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

[01:12] arooni-mobile what if you just type "dig" [01:13] arooni-mobile: ubuntu uses dnsmasq as a proxy. you could try tcpdump to see where the queries are going.

[01:19] 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] (14.04) [01:20] the trunk version has a bug affecting me which is fixed in the newest driver [01:20] 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] bodie_, have you tried using the additional drivers option or is that not newable [01:20] newable wtf [01:20] new enough [01:20] hehe [01:21] However, the circular dependency is screwed up still in 'configuration'.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8304901/ [01:21] mjayk, I've just been using apt-get, I assume that's an option in the gui updater [01:21] Looking for any help on what to do next to resolve this... [01:21] bodie_, in the dash type additional drivers, that should enable you to select the propiatary drivers (and beta drivers etc) [01:22] mjayk, under Additional Drivers, it shows me using proprietary version 331.38, which is the version affected by the bug === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan [01:22] can i import a .ovpn vpn configuration that has inline certs [01:22] bodie_, ok kk always worth a look, then I would use the nvidia installer [01:23] mjayk, okay, not the ppa? I was looking here: mjayk, I need to be using 340 -- as given here -- http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/xorg-edgers/trusty/main/base/nvidia-340 [01:23] hi everyone, I am running two ubuntu machines at the moment,one 14.0. and the other 12.04, now i need to movehuge stack of fies from one (PC) to the other (laptop)how can i use a crossover cable to do this? Iknew how to dothis in windows 7, but i am really new to ubuntu. [01:23] oops, bad paste, but has the link [01:24] 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] 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] Radon_3: Common router ? an easy way then . [01:24] mjayk, is there a way to use the installer version until the more current one is in trunk, and then roll over to that? [01:25] no, only have a crossover cable, and two net cards :( [01:25] bodie_, yes you just need to keep an eye personally on when the next one is released [01:26] fair enough. thanks for the help mjayk [01:26] 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 [01:27] mjayk, heh [01:28] what's the worst that could happen! ;) [01:28] x-server breaks :( [01:28] worst case, I'll just burn my computer to ashes... I mean reinstall the trunk driver version [01:30] Installing libc6 complains of wrong version of libc6-i386 (2.19) even after I manually install the (2.15) version....

So I need to know, what desktop environment and drivers specifically is lubuntu running during the install? [01:38] ah thanks bodie_ I dont use wine [01:38] gshmu, what are you expecting ping google.com & to do? [01:38] * zerothis is #LinuxOnly as well [01:39] spearhead: run ping at Background [01:39] hello all [01:39] gshmu, what does it do when you run the command? [01:40] I was wondering is there a way to stop ufw from logging to syslog? [01:40] spearhead: run at shell, i can't stop it [01:41] gshmu: "jobs" will show the job number for the ping command, and "fg 1" would bring job #1 to the foreground so you can kill it [01:41] somsip: i using ctrl+D close shell [01:44] 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] gshmu, where 1 is the job number provided by "jobs" [01:45] spearhead: thanks, I using Ctrl+D close the shell === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [01:46] I find four ping at system monitor [01:46] thanks somsip too [01:46] how many times did you try and run it?

[01:49] felon i love that too [01:49] i repair my system always this way [01:49] :D [01:49] gshmu, when you ctrl-d out of a terminal the process running in the background is still running... that is why you have 4 ping commands running [01:50] i by-pass windows windows 7 admin accounts this way i love it [01:50] gshmu, to kill all of them run sudo killall ping [01:50] spearhead: is any way to fg it? [01:50] I kill it at system monitor [01:51] gshmu: you could use reptyr to reown the processes but it's probably more than you need as you can safely kill these [01:52] somsip, I don't know that command... and I don't have a manual entry for it... [01:52] spearhead: github only. Unsupported but useful in some circumstances [01:52] i use a computer that only has quest access, so i cant d/l and install things so, i use a 8 gig usb (dedicate all the space) for downloading and burning movies from ubuntu live without installing it.

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] james0r: yes [02:48] james0r: though...I thought all kernels were PAE enabled by default now. What does free -h tell you? [02:49] https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16833274/cd-2014-09-10__09-49-06.txt [02:49] someone, [02:49] somsip, [02:49] james0r: so it's already recognising your 6GB [02:50] 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] i got my xubuntu setup all tweaked and perfect so trying to avoid another OS install if possible. [02:51] 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] 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 [02:52] james0r: "from 12.10 only the PAE releases are maintained" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAEhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE [02:52] sorry - double paste on the URL [02:52] TJ-, okay maybe no issue then, because i never try to grab more than 2gb of ram from my emulator at a time. [02:54] 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 [02:55] 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! [02:57] 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. === Tom_ is now known as Guest52628 === Guest52628 is now known as pyromine [03:01] How can you determine how much video memory your PC has?

[03:05] joshuasm32, there's tons of things you can do. but i suggest you get a unetbootin app [03:05] and install it [03:06] then get yourself a ubuntu iso [03:06] I basically want to remove everything, all partitions, not just windows [03:06] and write it to a nice 4gig thumbdrive [03:06] use a persistant file system [03:06] then boot tht. wipe your computer with it [03:06] and keep your thumbdrive as your active ubuntu install [03:06] when you need linux, boot it [03:06] ok [03:06] thanks [03:06] when you have to use windows. it's there [03:06] i'll remember that [03:06] when theyreinstall it [03:06] my user account [03:06] is corrupted [03:06] you got root [03:06] and he's super picky [03:07] all the windows tricks don't work === pumba is now known as pumbaway [03:07] i hacked my account for admin access lol [03:07] in windows [03:07] usually the registry can be rebuilt or restored [03:07] but your in a ubuntu channel [03:07] but the user account... [03:07] windows skills are high, but not practiced here [03:07] all configurations are banned [03:07] in windows [03:07] so if i turn it in even like this i'll be in trouble [03:07] you can safemode and create a new user [03:08] so wha [03:08] joshuasm32: And you are using Enter key for puncuation. [03:08] usr13, it's emotional dictation [03:08] Would that grep command work for xubuntu 14.04, usr13? [03:08] Guest43948: Yes [03:08] joshuasm32, be hones and tell them you are a computer science student doing experiments [03:08] sorry, i'm ranting [03:08] honest even [03:09] computer science causes junk like this [03:09] i'll spend some time making it look better [03:09] so that windows is the same [03:09] thanks though [03:09] I'll try the lshw command first, it looks simpler [03:09] i wouldnt, just give it to them to fix it [03:09] the it guy is zealous [03:09] i need to make this font bigger. you guys are too tiny on my screen. [03:09] expulsion involved if ubuntu is found [03:09] or anything is changed almost [03:09] joshuasm32: that is your problem. It's not a ubuntu issue. Can you stop now please. [03:10] thanks somsip [03:10] helloi [03:10] Guest43948: did it work? [03:10] yes [03:10] I need to run that command on my other PC [03:10] sorry like i said [03:11] Is #ubuntu an open IRC or mainly only for tech support? [03:11] I"m running a live CD on this PC, and it probably already has tonnes of video memory [03:11] joshuasm32: only for ubuntu support [03:11] Oh sorry [03:11] Here is a genuine Ubuntu question however [03:12] Can I somehow hide the partition with Ubuntu on it without removing it? [03:12] I asked because I was looking at the hardware requirements to run a game on an old PC running Xubuntu 14.04 [03:12] 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] Guest43948: (... because it uses shared RAM) [03:13] The PC I want to run a game on is an HP desktop PC [03:13] 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] oh [03:13] alright [03:14] HP dx5150 SFF desktop PC [03:14] 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] bye, thanks for putting up with me === yamk is now known as maysara [03:14] i have full touch screen support on this laptop [03:14] Shared RAM, what is that? [03:14] it's amaze-balls [03:14] xchat doesnt have it tho [03:14] oh well [03:15] usr13, I meant, what is shared RAM? [03:15] 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] Guest43948: So a certain amount of your system RAM is set asside for the video chip's use. [03:16] Does that cause it to run videos slow? [03:16] Guest43948: no [03:16] I love this new computer [03:16] Guest43948: Well, not if you have enough. [03:16] I love this old computer [03:17] ... or do I... Really? === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [03:20] this command...grep -i memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log....is that a zero an the letter O near the end, usr13 ?

[03:21] Guest43948: Also, "the tab key is your friend" [03:21] how can I set my ubuntu localhost to be visible from the internet? [03:22] HikaruBG: Do you have a public IP? [03:22] if you connect directly just call your public ip [03:22] currently I am usung private IP Addressing, provided by my ISP Wireless router [03:22] no - private IP usr13 [03:22] then forward a port like 8080 to your internal ip [03:22] check port forwarding settings in your router [03:22] HikaruBG: If not, you will need a Nynamic DNS provider [03:23] gebbione, by internal IP you mean.... my router IP ? [03:23] Does that command........ls /var/log/Xorg.*......do the same thing as the last one you gave me, usr13 ? [03:23] HikaruBG: Yea, most ISPs will use shared IP [03:23] HikaruBG: But why do you need ti? [03:23] internal ip is your machine, the public ip is already accessible and you router responds on it [03:24] usr13, Dynamic DNS you say... where to find that? [03:24] HikaruBG: On the internet. [03:24] noip.com [03:24] just set the port forwarding first [03:24] HikaruBG: What is it you are trying to accomplish? [03:25] I have a gitlab server at home, and I am trying to make it public so my developing team can use it [03:26] just use bitbucket or github [03:26] 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] gebbione, github has limited secured projects ... it comes a bit expensive [03:26] :) [03:27] bitbucket gives free 5 private projects if thats the problem [03:27] usr13, i have noticed gebbione's advices and I will look into that [03:27] Thanks [03:27] :) [03:27] I know - bitbucket has been checked. :) [03:27] the first command worked, the lshw command [03:27] Thanks for the reference [03:28] it gave me a bunch of information I already knew about my VGA compatible controller [03:29] anyway ubuntu is slowly become less usable ... i am seeing bugs i could not imagine happening to a software as widely used as ubuntu [03:29] such as?

[03:38] <_unreal_> type: pastebinit and hit enter [03:38] No, I am running a live CD here [03:38] <_unreal_> then it may [03:39] <_unreal_> what are you trying to do. I've read threw the log quickly but I'm not really sure what your trying to solve? [03:39] the xubuntu PC is different from this one. This PC is running a live xubuntu CD [03:40] just want to know how much video memory I have in my Linux PC [03:41] <_unreal_> OK 2 questions, is it onboard video card OR is it an add in card? [03:41] <_unreal_> if its onboard video have you checked what its set at in the bios? [03:41] I don't know [03:41] <_unreal_> you dont know if the video card is onboard or an add on card? [03:42] <_unreal_> ok do you know what computer expansion slots are? [03:42] It's likely a video card attached to the motherboard [03:42] yes [03:42] <_unreal_> LOL to be used its attached to the motherboard LOL onboard or add on is the questions [03:43] <_unreal_> ok so your video cable going to the monitor will be plugged into the computer. trace it down. and if its plugged into an area where the expansion slots are. you know its an ADD ON [03:43] Don't ask me to open up my PC again. Last time I did that it took 2 hours and I almost busted the casing [03:43] <_unreal_> all you have to look at the back of the computer [03:44] hello,32bit and 64bit,which should i choose [03:44] <_unreal_> one sec I'll spend a moment finding a picture OK..... [03:44] Although, last time I opened it up I shot about 200 high rez photos of all the guts [03:44] 64 === dodie|off is now known as dodie === dodie is now known as Guest82434 [03:45] you can't see the video card from the back, it's inside the casing [03:46] <_unreal_> no kidding [03:46] <_unreal_> http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/664081/134269205/stock-photo-the-back-of-a-desktop-computer-with-the-motherboard-on-a-white-background-134269205.jpg [03:47] gebbione ,why [03:48] <_unreal_> this is a picture of the back of a computer with onboard video and expansion slot video. the blue box on the computer by the keyboard connector IS onboard video. down below there is a silver card with 3 connections a blue one and a white one and a black one. thats an expansion video card.

I probably have a shot of the RS480 Radeon Xpress 200 Series video card [03:55] cool. 12 pt font is muh better to read irc with [03:55] or may be I can google that, RS480, and see if there's any information on it regarding video memory [03:55] <_unreal_> you have a rs480 radeon card? === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath [03:55] yes [03:56] <_unreal_> then lspci [03:56] RS480 [AMD/ATI] [03:56] <_unreal_> find the video card, and go to google and look it up [03:56] here's a tip guest usernames, if you find a userid you enjoy. use it. guest accounts are hard to talk to when times get buzy in irc === melio is now known as Melio [03:56] type /nick awesomenick [03:56] <_unreal_> or: lspci | grep 480 [03:56] if it's taken nickserv will educate you [03:58] <_unreal_> Melio, this guy is showing dire need of educating [03:58] lspci works, but does not provide much useful information [03:58] <_unreal_> I just told you what you need === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [03:59] <_unreal_> that should give enough info for you to look up the card and find out what its got [04:02] <_unreal_> Guest43948,: last command and I'm done helping I'm sorry but you hardly follow or listen to what any one has said. type this and you will get your answer: lspci -v | less === Guest43948 is now known as Slartibartfast13 [04:04] I want to use the installer as it is as my permanent installation.

[04:11] gebbione: if you want stability, you should be on 12.04.latest... [04:11] tht's not hell [04:11] so you can resize folders fine? [04:11] hi all [04:11] 14.04 is very stable for me [04:11] 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] I have no issues with 14.04 [04:11] it's quickly becomming a very useful system [04:11] Loshki, i was and then i thought 14 by now should have been good enough [04:11] how command show the version of my ubuntu ? [04:11] but i have all sorts of annoying bugs [04:11] pebcak [04:12] _unreal_, the bugs are reported [04:12] not only me [04:12] 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] DVCE_, uniity buton in the upper left protion of the screen tells you [04:12] like the ones i posted earlier [04:12] night all [04:13] or lsb_release -a [04:14] 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] 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] M [04:14] Melio: textbook? I'd say it's a minority opinion. Most people assume newer is always better... [04:15] 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] I got a lot of information about my RS480, but still nothing about the video memory [04:15] Thanks [04:15] _unreal_, whos? [04:16] <_unreal_> gebbione [04:16] greetings everyone [04:16] oh he lef [04:16] t [04:16] I have a screen flickering problem after the last updates [04:16] hi ubard [04:16] can anyone help me out? [04:16] 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] ubard: just ask your question :D [04:16] he did :P [04:16] on shell, what's the command that show my version of ubuntu ? [04:16] laptop [04:16] <_unreal_> Slartibartfast13, from this point on I'm ignoring you [04:17] ubard, try swaping drivers out for it [04:17] ah you already did [04:17] meh, i'm tired [04:17] like go to xorg defualt, free drivers, then back to proprietary [04:17] DVCE_: what ObrienDave said above... [04:17] 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] DVCE_, cat /etc/issue [04:18] something in the update changed your video stuff. so try searching for unsigned drivers in the search box [04:18] ObrienDave, file our directory not found [04:18] <_unreal_> Melio, user -a [04:18] DVCE_, or, lsb_release -a [04:18] it should point you to proprietary driver installs and adjustmens to drivers [04:18] wad: anticipating the next question, when you say "wiped", what exactly did you do? [04:18] fdisk, deleted all the partitions. [04:18] DVCE_, lagged a bit? i answered it [04:19] <_unreal_> sorry Melio : uname -a [04:19] internet is kinda laggy tonight for me too. i'm downloading a bit [04:19] I don't suppose there is a way to recover deleted partitions... ? [04:19] It had 6 partitions on it, becuase it had a windows/linux dual boot. [04:19] wad: that's it? Didn't format, didn't write any data? Try testdisk... [04:19] _unreal_, uname -a doesnt tell me the ubuntu release just the kernel and stuff [04:19] Okay. [04:19] ObrienDave, the second command solve the problem, thanks [04:19] <_unreal_> that I'm not sure of [04:19] Melio, pm please [04:20] DVCE_, thank Melio [04:20] sre [04:20] Melio, thanks, but i asked gain , because the command not found [04:20] it's ok === e is now known as Guest17333 [04:20] might have been a typo [04:20] <_unreal_> Melio, landscape-sysinfo lot of info but thats everything [04:20] That last command, lspci | grep 480, does not show the video memory. I ran the command and already told you the three results [04:21] But thanks for trying to help. It was worth a try [04:21] anybody here, already building one server of cs - cardsharing ? [04:21] <_unreal_> Slartibartfast13, you didnt bother READING the command is there and that is NOT it [04:22] After the four commands you gave me, all of which I ran, you told me to do a google search, which I also did === DVCE_ is now known as dVce_ [04:23] theres a server x which i cant ssh into unless i first ssh into server y. i need to copy something from x to my local computer. this has to happen through y. normally i would just copy from x to y and then from y to my local computer, but i cant because the thing i want to copy exceeds my size permissions on y. is there any way to solve this? [04:23] Oh, I see a -v command [04:24] sorry, I see the fifth command [04:26] I'm doing some graphics programming in Java and for some reason the performance is terrible unless I move the mouse cursor around in the Java window. Any ideas why this might happen? [04:27] <_unreal_> sounds like code issue [04:28] <_unreal_> but thats a question for #java [04:29] hello [04:30] <_unreal_> hi.. === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath === Guest17333 is now known as docOhdoc [04:36] I'm noticing that videos in vlc are distorted ... [04:36] _unreal_ The last command worked [04:36] as in they have these strings of color or a faded color [04:36] 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. [04:37] So, is my video memory 128 MB or 64 Kilobytes? [04:37] <_unreal_> omg [04:37] <_unreal_> Palm to face [04:38] The problem is I don't know what prefetching is. I suppose I can look it up in Wikipedia [04:38] hi guys [04:38] I have a problem using ubuntu 12.04 with date [04:38] dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [04:39] I choose the good one timezone Europe/Paris [04:39] morning to all [04:39] But at least I got lots of useful information from that last command. I'll just screenshot it and figure it out later [04:39] https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_rZKP9LDqUFZmszNWRtWXdoNDg/edit?usp=sharing [04:39] but date is completly incorrect : 14 feb 2014 [04:40] does anyone know if there's a grubeditor installed with lubuntu 14.04? [04:41] is grub installed with ubuntu by stock? [04:41] if that's the only thing running . i don't think grub is even installed [04:41] you can of course install it [04:42] ubard: you can edit grub with gedit or any text file editor [04:42] Melio: did you try holding shift at boot? === Ridley5 is now known as zzz_Ridley [04:44] shift at boot! . ok [04:44] :) [04:44] i need to reboot anyhow. i hve strange usb errors that are probably bios contained [04:44] i can fix tht === blindsight is now known as Guest72258 [04:45] thanks for your help _unreal_ I got a lot of useful information with your help [04:47] nah no grub at boot with shift [04:47] 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] there's EFI partitions there [04:47] it's not real easy to mess with [04:47] melio: what are you trying to do exactly? [04:48] i'm trynig to figure out how i would change a kernel [04:48] usnig grub [04:48] using grub [04:48] 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] specificly if grub isnt there. it won't be easy [04:48] thanks lotuspsychje! holding shift at boot works.. [04:48] ok so grub is here ubard [04:48] melio I managed it [04:48] melio: holding shift should work normally [04:48] yup [04:48] i must not have held shift a the right time [04:48] ubard, ok so once you install the kernel version you want [04:49] it should be there in grub once you give it an advanced menu option [04:49] and you can boot the alternate kernel there [04:49] actually I already have the previous version on the list, will try that first [04:49] ok [04:49] perfect === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [04:51] booted with 3.13.0-32-generic and the flickering is gone!

[04:52] :) [04:52] now the question is, next uninterrupted boot will be which kernel?

[06:31] acidrain_, look at your command. you installed again [06:32] 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] correct... there shouldnt be any trace that i ever had a previous install of chrome [06:32] acidrain_, eh, not quite. the package is still on your system unless you empty from cache ... [06:32] cfhowlett: how do i do this?

[06:34] for some reason, chrome stops playing netflix movies after about 10sec now [06:34] has been working for about 5days straight on a fresh install [06:35] damn it [06:35] it didnt work [06:35] options are still there [06:35] I have a kickstart config that worked fine under ubuntu 12.04.

[06:36] hillary_: i would suggest you reinstall libreoffice-base [06:36] and remove it [06:37] ok [06:37] hillary_: apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice-base [06:37] Sample kickstart snippet: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cEyb8GCi [06:38] hillary_, agreed. seems a broken install/remove of some kind [06:48] im pretty sure i hate chrome now [06:48] why make things so damn difficult [06:48] hillary_, fixed???

[06:51] acidrain_: install slackware! [06:51] acidrain_, sadly, with so few folks facing the issue, not likely that a whole lot of folk are working on a solution. [06:51] i like chrome. but i would extremely rather not install firefox + pipelight again [06:52] dios_mio, no trolling please. [06:52] 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 [06:53] acidrain_, true. if you actually log into chrome, it will synch your google account settings.

Not booting, has bad sectors. If I do a fresh install of Ubuntu, will it fix/repair/handle the bad sectors? [10:06] or should I do chkdsk first? [10:07] :) everybody [10:07] hi :) [10:08] mohan3142123, fresh Ubuntu install will NOT fix windows partition/sectors errors [10:10] 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] mohan3142123, probably yes. doing so will wipe out windows. you sure you want to do that? [10:11] yes [10:11] then have fun with it :) [10:12] hey fellas, you guys know any idea where i can find a disassembler program online for a small jo [10:12] job* [10:12] 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] MonkDAcez google it and it will give you the answer hopefully [10:13] mohan3142123: i'd chkdsk first [10:13] ok yubin, was hoping for more direct contacts, thanks [10:13] EriC^^: could you explain? As in, why chkdsk first?\ [10:15] 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] ObrienDave: wouldn't a reformat do that as well? or not? [10:16] mohan3142123, maybe yes, maybe no. i would think killing the partition/ redefining it would also work. YMMV [10:17] alright. I guess it's a few hours with chkdsk it is then. Thank you ObrienDave and EriC^^ [10:18] just recreate the f***ing partition table [10:19] mohan3142123, use gparted to redefine and format to EXT. it will be fine [10:20] anohigisavay, obfuscated swearing is not allowed here [10:21] ok sorry [10:21] I have downloaded the LibreOffice_4.3.1_Linux_x86_deb.tar.gz.

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] pngl: it should be another huge .wim , with a bunch of indexes too, [11:12] dsdsq: EriC^^: in Lenovo_Partition there is an 11GB install.wim [11:13] EriC^^: nah, its there for bitlocker loaders should he choose to use it [11:13] ikonia: It is installing.

God bless you people [11:30] F12 during bios splash [11:30] dsdsq: yeah I'm retrying with F11 at BIOS splash [11:31] hillary_, give ikonia a !cookie :) [11:31] 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] hillary_: no problem [11:31] He deserve i tell you [11:31] hillary_: try to stay away from PPA's [11:32] hillary_: (PPA's or external repos) [11:32] I will thank you for your advice [11:32] no problem [11:32] dsdsq: damn same message. I'm going to do clean reinstall as you said :) [11:32] pngl: exttract the key [11:32] ok [11:33] pngl: it's very easy to recover form the recovery partition manually [11:33] i will be using anything only from ubuntu [11:33] pngl: that said, this will give you you're product key form the bios sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM [11:33] hillary_: if you are in any doubt, ask the people in this channel [11:33] pngl: i'd advised against a clean install though [11:33] EriC^^: what was that line to extract a key? [11:33] sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM [11:33] EriC^^: ah, why? [11:33] Thank you. I have trusted this channel ever [11:33] cause first you have to find the proper iso online [11:33] 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 [11:34] and it's a PITA, and you already have everything in your recovery partition [11:34] pngl: remember to disable rapid start after the facreset though [11:34] unless you're anti-bloatware i don't see why you would opt for a fresh install over the oem recovery [11:35] EriC^^: should I be worried that the key contains gibberish (box characters with numbers in it)? [11:35] EriC^^: lenovo is owned by the chinese gov [11:35] pngl: the key is the last digits, after the box characters [11:35] Ah it's fine,just my terminal acting up. Vim is nicer. [11:35] XXXXX-XXXX-.... [11:35] 5 of those XXXXX's [11:35] EriC^^: i cant find my key that way [11:36] EriC^^: well I've just tried recovery with the help and dsdsq and I'm going nowhere [11:36] pngl: if you have a way of getting a command prompt, then you're all set.. [11:37] 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] EriC^^: ok let me try that === mk3548208_ is now known as mk3548208 [11:42] hi, how can I changed "Last Login:" from "juzz.local" to whatever I like? when I log in [11:45] EriC^^: sorry for the delay. I have a command prompt. [11:46] can someone tell me what the best visual tweak app is? I want the pretty stuff. [11:49] EriC^^: I'm not used to windows cmd though so I don't know what to do from there. [11:50] Hi folks === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony === michael is now known as Guest63050 [11:53] pngl: sorry im back, was eating lunch [11:53] ok [11:53] first you have to check the partitions, run diskpart === rawagner_afk is now known as rawagner [11:54] Anyone know of a program to change id tags in mp3s in mass? [11:54] you'll need to delete the ubuntu stuff, and create a ntfs partition for windows [11:55] EriC^^: ok I have a DISKPART prompt [11:55] ok, the commands are pretty intuitive [11:55] does Ubuntu uses Shim on UEFI ? [11:55] list lists disks and partitions, and select selects them [11:56] pngl: so you'd do list [11:56] or list disk, let me find an online guide or something [11:56] EriC^^: alright, I'm going to format the Ubuntu partition [11:56] pngl: no you need to delete it [11:57] ok [11:57] nevermind [11:57] yeah format to ntfs [11:57] be sure to use -q or something [11:57] or it'll take forever [11:57] ( for a quick format ) [11:58] done [11:58] ok, the efi partition is there right? [11:58] cause you need it [11:58] you can mount it by selecting it, then assign letter=a [11:59] Is there any free "classes" i could take to be able to join into the Ubuntu community and help? [11:59] EriC^^: oh crap I've formatted the 1GB Recovery partition. Hope that's ok until I reboot. What is the EFI partition? [11:59] the efi partition is the partition that holds the boot files [11:59] it's like 300mb or so, at the start of the disk [11:59] it should be fat32 i think [12:00] you should have one, cause ubuntu uses it too [12:00] EriC^^: yeah that's fine, I think it is "System" (iirc that's what was mounted as /boot under Ubunut) [12:01] is it fat32? [12:01] 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] Yet if I go to /var/log and the sudo cd apache2 it tells me cd: command not found [12:01] Am I missing something basic? [12:02] you don't need sudo to cd there [12:02] EriC^^: yes. [12:02] EriC^^: having trouble formatting Ubuntu partition, sorry, 1mn [12:02] EriC^^, yet it tells me permission denied if I do cd apache2 [12:03] knob: the permissions should be Access: (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 4/ adm) [12:04] do stat /var/log/apache2 to check [12:04] if you aren't in the adm group you can't access them [12:04] EriC^^, I got there by doing an interactive shell with sudo -i [12:04] Going to check now with do stat /var/log/apache2 [12:05] 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] EriC^^, I ran the command, and it came back as you posted. (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 4/ adm) [12:05] ok , type id [12:06] Ok... my user does not match that [12:06] I am using user with uid=1000 [12:06] what about group adm? [12:07] Let me check... [12:07] knob: 'cd' is a shell builtin, which won't work with sudo. sudo works with executables. [12:07] pngl: if you list volumes it doesn't see the ubuntu one? [12:07] foldart, ok ok thanks [12:08] pngl: 1 sec === xubuntu is now known as Guest65000 [12:08] EriC^^: nop [12:08] pngl: you don't have to select the volume to format [12:08] select the partition [12:09] then run format fs=ntfs label=
