[00:00] Bobbo__: Urghh! no Ubuntu entry, and the BootOrder is bad, with non-existent entry 0000 in there twice [00:01] Lol [00:01] Bobbo__: OK, just as an aside, let me explain something about that article you linked to [00:01] echo "hello" | sha256sum and echo "hello" |hashalot -x sha256 . y i got two different hash, plz any one clear my concept i am confused on betwwn checksum and hash [00:01] TJ-: Yes, learning stuff is good! :P [00:02] TJ-, mu sound suddenly disapeared [00:02] Bobbo__: UEFI when started from *removable* media obviously can't have an entry in the system's boot menu already, so the firmware looks to a fixed path "EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI" for the boot manager [00:02] whats the practiclly difference between UEFI and Legacy? [00:02] TJ-, the audio adapter don't show on the sound devices [00:03] any suggestions? [00:03] Bobbo__: When an OS is installed it tells the UEFI firmware to permanently add an entry into its non-volatile RAM boot menu list. [00:03] TJ-: With you so far. [00:03] echo "hello" | sha256sum and echo "hello" |hashalot -x sha256 . y i got two different hash, plz any one clear my concept i am confused on betwwn checksum and hash [00:03] HikaruBG: Check the hardware, and work on up [00:03] juniour: Use "echo -n" [00:04] it is a laptop - the hardware is OK [00:04] :) how to check it, TJ- [00:04] ? [00:04] TJ- wt due to newline??? [00:04] Bobbo__: Linux uses "efibootmgr" to add the permanent entry - it's one of the last things that the installer will do before the restart [00:05] Bobbo__: So, we now know that either the initial installer use of efibootmgr failed to add the entry, or, as you said it started correctly once, the entry got deleted somehow, possibly a firmware bug, possibly something else. [00:06] Bobbo__: So, now we have to put the entry back. To do that the best way is to configure the installed system in a chroot, then run the installed system tools inside the chroot to re-add itself. I have a shell script that automates that process I'll give you the link to in a mo [00:06] TJ-: Snazzy. [00:06] Bobbo__: "wget https://iam.tj/projects/misc/chroot-auto.bash" [00:07] Bobbo__: Then "chmod a+x chroot-auto.bash" [00:07] eww, non-octal flags for chmod. :P [00:07] Bobbo__: Now, lets un-mount what we did earlier so the script can do its stuff. "sudo umount /target/boot/efi /target" [00:07] join #expressjs [00:08] unmounted! [00:08] Bobbo__: then "sudo ./chroot-auto.bash /target /dev/sda2" [00:09] Bobbo__: If all goes well, you'll be at a root shell prompt inside the chroot, and any file-systems mention in its /etc/fstab will have been auto-mounted [00:09] TJ-: Aye, I'm as root now. [00:10] Bobbo__: In particular, we need to be sure the ESP has been mounted to /boot/efi, so do "mount | grep efi" and check that is the case === Gnomethrower is now known as Dogethrower === sins-_h is now known as sins- [00:11] TJ-: No -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314136 [00:12] Bobbo__: OK... lets check it *ought* to be mounted. "pastebinit /etc/fstab" [00:12] TJ-, how to check my sound hardware? [00:13] HikaruBG: There are sound troubleshooting guides in the Ubuntu wiki and help sites; use those for starters === Dogethrower is now known as Gnomethrower [00:14] por favor, alguem pode me ajudar?

As my script didn't automount that, lets check the ESP's UUID is the same still. "blkid /dev/sda1" - tell me if the UUID is different, else, we'll carry on [00:18] TJ-: it's the same, we can carry on I guess? [00:18] Bobbo__: Yes. "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi" [00:18] Bobbo__: except, of course, no need for sudo :p [00:18] Yeah, was gunna say. :P [00:19] Bobbo__: muscle-memory :) [00:19] Bobbo__: OK, now to fix things (we hope) [00:19] Yay! [00:21] i'm setting LANG in /etc/default/locale but it has no effect (after new ssh connection) [00:21] is there another file controlling locale= [00:21] *?

[00:26] what does modprobe do, TJ- [00:26] HikaruBG: inserts kernel modules (drivers) into the running kernel, to manage devices [00:27] Bobbo__: I think you need to do "efibootmgr --bootorder 0000,2003,2001,2002" [00:27] people learn everyday :) [00:27] Thanks again TJ- [00:28] mhmm, my internet is playing up, just got like the last 15 messages at the same time. =/ [00:28] Bobbo__: In case you missed it then, I think you need to do "efibootmgr --bootorder 0000,2003,2001,2002" [00:29] done that [00:29] Bobbo__: After that, a final check "efibootmgr --verbose" to ensure it all looks perfect then you can "exit" the chroot, and reboot to test [00:30] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314237 [00:30] Does anyone know off-hand if there's a package for a mips cross-compiler setup available in 14.04? [00:31] Bobbo__: "umount /boot/efi" then "exit" and reboot [00:31] Ademan_: No, there isn't - not gcc anyhow [00:31] TJ-: no dice [00:32] Bobbo__: What happened? [00:32] same as before, got to the network boot stuff. [00:32] is it usual to get error reports on startup caused by xorg nvidia? [00:33] system is running fine though [00:33] Bobbo__: OK... enter UEFI setup, go to the boot menu part, see if Ubuntu is listed. On some, you can only do that by using the manual boot chooser hot-key during start-up [00:33] Um. [00:33] UEFI setup? [00:33] Bobbo__: If the entry for ubuntu has gone missing, we know there's a UEFI firmware bug and it isn't saving entries [00:33] Bobbo__: I dealt with several cases like that a few months ago [00:34] Bobbo__: try f10 and esc [00:34] try esc first [00:34] look for something along the lines of "boot options" [00:34] You don't mean the boot menu to select a device, do you? [00:34] Bobbo__: I have a sneaking suspicion the boot menu entry can only be named "Windows" for it to be kept [00:34] Bobbo__: Yes... [00:35] just lists the four devices, USB, HDD, ODD and LAN. [00:35] Bobbo__: That should also list any boot menu entries - thought you may need to scroll to find them [00:35] And an option to enter the bios. [00:35] Bobbo__: it's not the one you can change the order with, it's more of a on the fly pick something to boot off [00:35] Bobbo__: OK, so looks like you've got a buggy UEFI firmware. [00:36] TJ-: Probably, it's a toshiba laptop. XD [00:36] Bobbo__: What's the exact model, maybe we can find out something [00:36] Toshiba Satellite S50-A-10W [00:37] Bobbo__: Not specifically about Toshiba, but there's this: "on the next reboot, the BIOS/UEFI firmware deletes all but the first NVRAM entry for that EFI partition. It seems to allow only one boot entry per EFI partition. Since the linux entry is first, the Windows entry is the one deleted by the BIOS." === Adam_ActiveState is now known as stevejobs === stevejobs is now known as Guest62653 === Guest62653 is now known as Steve_Jobs [00:40] Bobbo__: One other thing to look for; In UEFI Setup menus, look for an option like "Quick Boot" or "Fast Boot". If found, disable it. I think there's one named "Intel Quick Start", too [00:41] Bobbo__: Also could be called "Smart Boot" [00:42] TJ-: right... I don't see how that pertains to me, not dual booting. [00:42] Bobbo__: It short-circuits the boot process to ignore the boot menu === IdleOne is now known as io === eeeeee is now known as eeee [00:43] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314299 [00:43] =/ [00:44] Bobbo__: Confirms what I thought. [00:44] Shall I check stuff in the bios like you just said then? [00:44] exit [00:45] Bobbo__: Yes, those are easy fixes... the worst case is this is a Toshiba firmware bug and you're stuck [00:47] TJ-: secure boot: disabled, boot speed: normal, boot mode is UEFI... I don't see anything else really related to it. [00:48] Bobbo__: OK ... if there isn't anything there then it must be a bug [00:48] And I can't like... Install ubuntu in CSM to get around it? [00:49] Bobbo__: Yes, you'll have to reinstall and ensure that the Live ISO boots in CSM mode, not UEFI [00:50] hi, u need help for use internet (cable modem) [00:50] *i [00:50] So I have to change boot mode to CSM boot; doing that gives me a new option for SATA controller mode (AHCI or compatibility)? [00:50] Bobbo__: Which uefi version is installed currently? [00:50] I dunno. [00:50] TJ-: How do I find that out? [00:51] Bobbo__: It should show it somewhere in the UEFI menus [00:51] Yeah, uhh, what UEFI menus? XD [00:51] personnel, can someone help me please? I can not connect to internet, ubuntu detected the mac adress of my network card, I wonder if it was detected, it must activate it .. if you need to install any drive, (something not in ruindows happens) [00:51] Top of the screen then? It's usually shown prominently [00:53] I got a bios version at 1.2, not that that means a lot and a date for 2012 at the top. [00:53] And 'EC version 1.1', whatever that is. [00:53] hmm I looked into chroot and that's not going to allow me to have access to the backup as if it were naturally a part of the live usb, is there a way to backup to a live usb that is fully integrated? [00:53] Bobbo__: Unless I have the wrong model the Toshiba Support site shows the latest version as 1.8 [00:54] TJ-: Link? === goldenfox is now known as Guest13121 [00:54] Bobbo__: can't, you'll need to choose from drop-downs, its all Javascripted http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK === cups is now known as doge [00:55] Bobbo__: I've selected Family: Satellite, Series S, Model S50-A [00:57] TJ-: ... yay, that gives me a .exe [00:57] hi, how detected card ethernet ? [00:58] Bobbo__: You wiped Windows? [00:58] TJ-: Ya, it's gone. Literally can not stand it any more. =\ [00:59] (and I didn't know this would happen, heh) [00:59] Bobbo__: Did you not back-up at least the Recovery Partition? [00:59] Nope, completely nuked... It was Win8 after all. [01:00] Bobbo__: Any old copies of XP lying about maybe? If the current version is 1.2 and the latest 1.8, that suggests a *lot* if fixes have been issued [01:01] Bobbo__: At least you now know the cause and how to deal with it, and repair it if needed. [01:01] No, I think the best I could try is somehow getting the ISO I used for my VM to boot on the laptop. [01:01] Bobbo__: how long ago did you nuke it [01:01] eeee: Earlier today. [01:01] i recovered my recovery partition with testdisk, went on to restore the pc with it [01:01] anyways the iso sounds good though [01:02] I guess I should buy some RW DVDs then. :3 [01:02] eeee: Bobbo__ Yes, testdisk might have a chance since not a lot has been written to the disk so far [01:02] hello all [01:02] hi everyone... anyone good at fixing boot issues? My mint 16 to 17 upgrade crashed before completing. [01:02] Bobbo__: no usb?

O_o [01:09] Bobbo__: boot liveusb, sudo apt-get install testdisk [01:09] Bobbo__: install it "sudo apt-get install testdisk" then run it "sudo testdisk /dev/sda" and use the on-screen selections to have it do a deep scan [01:09] testdisk isn't in the repos apparently, but I got it from their website. :3 [01:10] Bobbo__: it's in the universe repo [01:11] hi [01:11] dkms has no candidate for i386 on amd64 system [01:11] is this correct? [01:11] or may I be missing some step? [01:11] Bobbo__: hopefully eeee can guide you now, I have some other things to do. Good luck with it, and *if* a firmware update solves it please let me know [01:12] Okay, thank you, TJ-. [01:12] razieliyo: huh? [01:12] I'll explain my whole problem === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [01:12] I have nvidia 304 drivers for 64 bits working [01:12] razieliyo: DKMS is "Architecture: all" [01:12] eeee: apt-get can't find it? O-o [01:12] and I'm trying to also install i386 drivers, but when I try, I get a lot of not found packages [01:13] Bobbo__: dash > software & updates > universe repo [01:13] one of those packages is dkms, I tried to install it by hand but it doesn't find it [01:13] razieliyo: Are you trying to cross-compile? check out "man dkms" and in partiticular the "--arch" option [01:13] TJ-, nope, I'm just trying to install nvidia drivers for 32 bits [01:14] razieliyo: sounds like you've got outdated package lists - "apt-get update" maybe? [01:14] TJ-, nothing [01:14] I may be missing some repos [01:14] Hi guys. So I'm going to attempt to install ubuntu on my laptop. The thing is, last time I did this, it took about 20 hours, five of which were with my linux guru friend, to get it to work. So I need to be careful and be able to "fall back" to a working OS if I need to. [01:14] but, this is a fresh install, I didn't touch anything on sources.list [01:15] So I bought a large external hard drive, and I want to make a bit-by-bit copy of my current hard drive, to the external one, so that I can restore it if need be. [01:15] I'm booted into the OS, so my main drive is unmounted, and I can see my external drive here, with an ext4 partition on it. [01:15] Hello, can someone suggest me a program like Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) for Windows? I'm using Linux Mint 17. Thank you in advanced! [01:16] Question: What tool should I use to clone my drive? partimage, or dd, or something else? I want to include the MBR too. [01:16] The disk is dual-boot, to Windows 8.1. So yes, it is UEFI. [01:16] eeee: So I'm in testdisk, and I have like no idea what I'm doign here. :) [01:16] anyone know what kernel parameters can be passed to a wifi interface.. specifically ath9k [01:17] george_: 'remmina' should meet your work. [01:17] Bobbo__: ok, sudo testdisk , select no logging, then select the hdd [01:18] then select Intel > analyze [01:18] @yeahnoob thank you. I'm going to test it. [01:18] eeee: then quick search? [01:18] yeah [01:19] look for a 11-18gb ntfs partition [01:19] how can i sync trusty/main/installer-amd64/current/images to my local mirror ? [01:19] eeee: fat32, linux and linux swap. =/ [01:19] no problem [01:19] what would the deb line in my mirrors.list look like if im using apt-mirror [01:19] press enter then > deeper search [01:20] Bobbo__: wait, press q, until you reach the menu with Intel [01:20] eeee: there [01:21] Bobbo__: select whatever it was defaulted to, GPT maybe [01:21] Guys im runnin live ubuntu 14.xx i need to access files that are on the USB stick [01:21] how do i do that [01:21] eeee: EFI system, unknown and linux swap. Quick search? [01:21] yeah [01:22] the usb is not listed in the drives [01:22] eeee: Got a 'MS data' partition and a continue button. [01:22] ok great, hopefully it's the recovery partition [01:22] try to press 'p' [01:22] to view the files [01:22] Metaliinuxite: If you're running the try out of ubuntu from the flash drive you want to access, that gets mounted as / [01:23] eeee: P does nothing? I guess I need to continue first. :P [01:23] eeee: I continued, got another listing here for MS data with "[Recovery]" at the end of the line? [01:23] ok, great [01:23] Bobbo__ : can't see my files in root [01:24] press p [01:24] eeee: Got like ls -la output, with recovery and sys vol info [01:25] is there a bunch of stuff like EFI recovery [01:25] eeee did you lose system reserved? [01:25] Metaliinuxite: no, im good === Raz_a is now known as Raz0r [01:26] eeee: In where, sorry? [01:27] Bobbo__: in the partition [01:28] does it look like the recovery partition? search for a file that is called install.wim , or something similar [01:28] what's the size of the partition btw? [01:28] I got a bunch of install[0-9]+.swm files in this Recovery directory. [01:29] what's the size? [01:29] Um, I'm not sure, looks like 23304192 ? [01:29] for the partition. [01:30] look at the bottom line, next to NTFS [01:30] oh, how convenient! XD [01:30] 11GB [01:30] ok looks like the recovery partition [01:30] how can i sync trusty/main/installer-amd64/current/images to my local mirror ?what would the deb line in my mirrors.list look like if im using apt-mirror [01:30] .swm == Split Windows iMage files [01:30] You're a wizard harry? [01:31] eeee: So what, I need to copy this data out? [01:31] TJ-: i'm familiar with using dism to extract a .wim file [01:32] Bobbo__: do you have any ntfs partition on your hdd right now? [01:32] Bobbo__: simpler that that; let testdisk recreate this partition and partition table entry, allow the existing Ubuntu install to be blown away, then boot the system with this recovery file-system to reinstall Windows... so you can do the BIOS upgrade. [01:32] eeee: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314003/ [01:32] eeee: Pure Ubuntu install for UEFI [01:33] yeah if you don't mind ubuntu that would be better [01:33] xserver-xorg-core:i386 not available in my repos [01:33] =S === peter is now known as Guest58367 [01:34] Bobbo__: Once you've got Windows and done the BIOS update, shrink the Windows partition to a minimal size but leave it in place, and install Ubuntu alongside it. That way you have an emergency fall-back in case of future windows-only tool requirements [01:34] eeee: no [01:34] do you have anything you need from this ubuntu installation? [01:34] eeee: no [01:35] so you're ok with erasing it? [01:35] eeee: nuke away! How do I get it to recreate the partition? [01:35] Bobbo__: use the right arrow [01:35] to select it [01:36] Okay, I got another partition selected with no name... Looks like the UEFI partition from the size (512MiB), do I want to keep that selected? [01:36] yeah [01:36] i was about to tell you to leave it [01:36] eeee: Bobbo__ lets hope these don't overlap [01:37] TJ-: wat? [01:37] they shouldn't though right, cuz efi is at the start, recovery the very end? [01:38] Bobbo__: The current ESP was created by Ubuntu; the original ESP would likely have been a different size, and the Recovery partition likely followed it - so if the original ESP were smaller than the current, that Recovery Partition might now start inside the ESP [01:39] eeee: Is Recovery at the end? most I've seen have it at the front, before the bootable Windows partition [01:39] It's at the end [01:39] Bobbo__: Good :) [01:39] In between the two I've got a 925GiB partition [01:39] it's not going to boot anyways, don't wanna be a party pooper :) bu ti doubt it [01:40] you're going to have to extract it yourself, most likely === goldenfox is now known as Guest71240 [01:40] eeee: We can extract the EFI boot loader from the Recovery partition, and stick it in the ESP as "/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI" and that should be enough [01:41] Hey people, quick question: I'm on 14.04, on top of which I installed gnome 3 (the one provided by the official repos). I want to have it so when I press ctrl+alt+l I will get the same lockscreen I get in unity. Is that possible? [01:41] TJ-: that would be awesome then! [01:41] eeee: TJ-: Okay, now like a nub for me? :P [01:42] Bobbo__: press enter [01:43] Bobbo__: The Recovery file=system contains everything needed to reinstall Windows, but in addition it is itself a minimal bootable Windows installation, so we should be able to get the bootmgr.efi out of it, and put it in the ESP as /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI, which means the firmware will find it and use it to boot from the disk drive [01:43] you'll get a list of the partitions, should have the efi and recovery partitions, then press write [01:43] So I should deselect this UEFI partition that's selected atm? [01:44] file_put_contents(/var/www/laravel/app/storage/meta/services.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied [01:44] i have done chmod -R 755 /app/storage/* [01:44] no, we're going to plug the bootmg file from the recovery partition in the efi you have [01:44] but still getting the permission error [01:45] hi [01:45] http://anthonyvenable110.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/why-i-feel-that-linux-has-better-security-than-windows-updated-version-2/ [01:45] I just wanted to say that my problem is solved [01:45] Bobbo__: You should have the first partition showing something like this: "1 P EFI System 2048 526335 524288 [EFI System]" [01:45] I just messed it up with libs later trying to run some code of mine with opengl =D [01:45] first time on 64 bits system... still too weird to me [01:45] eeee: So then select write to write that recov partition? [01:46] yeah [01:46] hurmm [01:46] a valid ntfs boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable [01:46] I should screenshare this, might make it easier? [01:47] Ah nvm, I used better searched terms in google and solved this myself [01:47] Bobbo__: That sounds like the start of the partition got over-written, so it lost the BPB in sector 0 [01:48] What's BPB? [01:50] Bobbo__: BIOS Parameter Block; data at the start of Windows file-systems that describe its layout [01:50] Oh. [01:51] TJ- / eeee: So what do? O_o [01:51] TJ-: thanks [01:52] Bobbo__: i'd write it [01:52] Bobbo__: It should be telling you about the "Boot sector" and "Backup boto sector" - is it? [01:52] TJ-: It said both were okay. [01:53] sectors are identical... Then what I said earlier about the NTFS boot sector being present. [01:53] Bobbo__: really? YAY! OK, it's just an informational warning then... carry on [01:53] uhh, I got five options, quit, list, rebuild bs, repair mft and dump ? [01:54] eeee: Are you able to give guidance here? I can't test this I was running it on a good live disk :) [01:55] well, when i did it, i ran rebuild bs [01:55] eeee: "bs" being "boot sector" ? [01:55] yeah [01:56] Rebuilding boot sector then! [01:56] is there a way of making a custom application that i create to run as a service or deamon at start up? [01:56] TJ-: ? [01:56] eeee: dump, list, quit? [01:56] lol, quit i guess :) [01:56] I'm back at the menu I was before... Fully quit? [01:56] eeee: I find all these "quits" disconcerting ... I'd prefer "back" :) [01:57] I know, I found it confusing at first. [01:57] Bobbo__: At some point you'll need to write the currently in-memory partition table to disk [01:58] Um [01:58] I thought I done that by selecting write earlier? [01:58] Hi everyone. I installed 2 new 4tb HDD in my tower today for media storage. They are both ext4 and have them mounted through fstab. Any idea why I would be struggling to get 7mb/s transfering between them over sata? [01:58] Bobbo__: i think he means restart the pc [01:58] Bobbo__: OK... I missed that, I was outside [01:59] Bobbo__: Once you've finished with testdisk we'll need to hunt the EFI bootmgr file and install it to the ESP [01:59] TJ-: was rebuilding the boot sector the proper choice? [01:59] i lol [02:00] eeee: I hope so! that was the boot sector for the NTFS recovery partition [02:00] *lol'd cause i was waiting for you to say something about it first [02:00] eeee: blind leading the very tired and blind, here :) [02:00] Yeah, I'm tired... I should really be asleep but I really want this working. =/ [02:02] So.... [02:02] It says I have to reboot for the change to take effect, which makes sense I guess. [02:04] does anyone know why transfer rates between internal HDD's would be really slow? [02:05] hello! what you discuss? [02:06] i'm on ubuntu 14.04 if that helps at all? [02:07] So.... [02:07] It says I have to reboot for the change to take effect, which makes sense I guess. [02:07] \o/ [02:07] eeee: Got a recovery partition mounted, so far so good... So I guess I can look for the efi file now. [02:08] yeah [02:08] Back... we thought we heard intruders [02:08] Well that was easy. [02:08] bootmgr.efi [02:09] Bobbo_: find /path/to/recovery -iname "bootmgfw.efi" [02:09] or "*.efi" [02:09] Bobbo_: OK, create a mount point for the ESP "sudo mkdir /efi" then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /efi" [02:11] TJ-: is that the file? [02:11] cause i have bootmgfw.efi in my /EFI/Microsoft/Boot [02:11] as well as bootmgr.efi [02:11] Well.... I'll run the find command now that I've got it remounted. [02:11] and efibootmgr -v shows bootmgfw.efi as being used [02:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314838 [02:13] eeee: Bobbo_ Checking here... but Windows Disk Management doesn't allow access to the ESP! [02:13] TJ-: he can use diskpart to mount it, i think [02:13] eeee: No need I hope [02:14] Bobbo_: That pastebin; is that of the contents of the Recovery file-system partition? [02:14] find /efi -type f -iname '*.efi' [02:14] Bobbo_: You mean that's from the *existing* ESP!?! === shout-user13 is now known as olivierrrrr [02:14] why's the recovery mounted in /efi ? [02:15] Because TJ- told me do that just now, eeee ? [02:15] no he said to mount the esp [02:15] :) [02:15] TJ-> Bobbo_: OK, create a mount point for the ESP "sudo mkdir /efi" then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /efi" [02:15] I done those two commands. [02:15] Bobbo_: I meant for the ESP to be mounted at /efi/ ... hmmm, it looks like the partition numbers have been changed to be out-of-order! [02:16] Bobbo_: OK, first "pastebinit < <(sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print)" [02:16] guys, why I can't type anything in the #mysql channel? [02:17] eeee: At least we know the Recovery image has a file for 'simple' UEFI removable media boot already in place [02:17] HikaruBG: probably because you need to be registered [02:17] TJ-, eeee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314866 [02:17] <_unreal_> HikaruBG, is your handle (name) registered [02:18] Bobbo_: eeee Argghhhh [02:18] what's up? === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan [02:18] _unreal_, yes it is [02:18] Bobbo_: The testdisk operation didn't preserve the existing ESP, the GPT now only has the Recovery partition [02:19] <_unreal_> then what is happening, are you getting a message from the channel saying: can not send to channel? [02:19] TJ-: Right [02:19] <_unreal_> if so then there is a channel mode set not allowing you to type and there is nothing you can do about it. unless you are voiced or allowed to talk by an admin (channel op) === qqq is now known as Guest81827 [02:20] _unreal_ yes, the message is the same, and I re-sent my identity credentials to nickserv, so I can type now [02:20] thanks! [02:20] <_unreal_> good, [02:20] Bobbo_: eeee Let's gamble here, that the UEFI firmware knows how to read NTFS. On that assumption we can change the partition type of the single NTFS partition from "msftdata" to "EFI System Partition" and - if we're really lucky - the firmware will boot from it into recovery [02:21] sounds good [02:21] TJ-: You sound like a computer ninja, how do I do that? :D [02:22] Bobbo_: Break hundreds of systems... then repair them :p [02:22] =/ [02:22] gdisk would be the weapon of choice ? :D [02:22] I dislike breaking stuff. XD [02:23] So... gdisk? O_o [02:23] hey guys, i just want to know if there is a way to somehow get the output of a terminal transferred via serial port and then transfer the input back [02:24] Bobbo_: i think so, sudo gdisk [02:25] press 't' , then select the first partition [02:25] my idea is that i could start a NAS located at my home with the raspberry pi over the internet, then enter the password to decrypt the data and use it as an online storage [02:25] Bobbo_: WE can use sgdisk --typecode [02:25] enter ef00 as the hex code [02:25] Wait what [02:25] Bobbo_: Or go with eeee and do it manually :) [02:25] Which one am I doing? [02:25] do sgdisk [02:25] <_unreal_> ponA, your talking about doing vnc? [02:26] Bobbo_: I was about to give you the scripted version of what eeee is taking you through manually; carry on [02:27] _unreal not really vnc, more like those really expensive kvm server expansions, so you get a console and can input stuff over the network [02:27] wait [02:27] so [02:27] <_unreal_> ponA, are you looking to access a storage location like it was a network storage only over the internet? [02:27] eeee: TJ- sgdisk --typecode ? [02:27] Anything else? [02:27] Bobbo_: Ignore my suggestion, follow what eeee is telling you [02:27] Bobbo_: sgdisk --typecode:/dev/sda1:{ef00} ? [02:27] ( going by the man page ) [02:27] <_unreal_> or are you looking to have console access ssh? [02:27] sorry [02:28] Bobbo_: sgdisk --typecode:/dev/sda1:ef00 ? [02:28] lol :) [02:28] well [02:28] That might of worked? [02:28] (with no ?, obviously) [02:28] _unreal i have the raspi on the internet 24/7,so far it works as a little webserver [02:29] run parted again and see what it says [02:29] Bobbo_: eeee I think it should have been "sudo sgdisk --typecode=1:EF00" [02:29] _unreal now i want a bigger NAS which uses ubuntu to be connected to the internet [02:29] _unreal i want to start the NAS device over the internet which would normally require to press a button or use wake on LAN [02:29] TJ-, eeee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314952 [02:30] _unreal but it is encrypted, so i will have to enter the password and username [02:30] <_unreal_> ok last time, WHAT are you planning to do with it? file access? ssh console access? [02:30] yeah, that's a negative [02:30] Bobbo_: The full command should be "sudo sgdisk --typecode=1:EF00 /dev/sda" [02:31] Says the new partition table will be used at next reboot... Reboot time? [02:31] Bobbo_: Then do "sudo sgdisk --print /dev/sda" [02:31] Bobbo_: No [02:31] _unreal so i was just wondering if there is a way to use the serial port of the raspberry pi to boot up the ubuntu system [02:31] <_unreal_> Omg. [02:31] hello. Bit of an issue i have. I have a 12.04 sever running under virtualbox. I did a do-release-upgrade, and from what I saw..it went without a problem. No errors. However when I boot it, the grub menu displays *ubuntu and Advanced Ubuntu options [02:31] Bobbo_: The PT hasn't changed in a way that will affect the OS [02:32] Bobbo_: verify the partition type is now EFI system partition [02:32] TJ-, eeee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314956 [02:32] If I select the first one, it boots into the initramfs promnpt [02:32] <_unreal_> ponA, so you want to use your rasPI to send a wol signal to an ubuntu computer. [02:32] TJ-: That looks right, right? [02:33] How can I enter bash commands into terminal without a script? Ex: $test = "test" [02:33] _unreal_ the problem is, that the ubuntu computer is encrypted, i would need the raspberry pi to send keyboard inputs to the ubuntu system [02:33] <_unreal_> ponA, if I was you and your looking to use one system to deal with an other.. I would suggest setting up a router with OPENWRT [02:34] erick__: you type them. But that command does not have correct syntax [02:34] <_unreal_> that way you have a very mature softare platform, very secure and you can add just about any function you could think of. [02:34] Bobbo_: Yes it does, let's hope the UEFI firmware will read NTFS - EFI SP is generally supposed to be only FAT32 and quite small! Try a reboot [02:34] somsip: Thanks! [02:34] _unreal_ i can start the ubuntu server with WOL but then i run into the encryption problem [02:34] Okay, do I need to do anything fancy at boot-time or do I just let it boot from the HDD? [02:35] Bobbo_: just ensure it tries to boot the HDD from the boot menu [02:35] _unreal_ can i ssh into a machine before any other user is logged in? [02:36] <_unreal_> ponA, if your trying to access your encrypted server which is behind a router and must be accessed by a second computer behind the router. it would be wise to setup the router with openwrt and cut out the middle man. that way you have less ports to foward and less hassle [02:36] <_unreal_> ? [02:36] TJ-: Selecting the HDD to boot from at start up drops through to booting from the USB, somehow? O_o [02:37] somsip: What about test = "/proj/" [02:37] Bobbo_: Could be it doesn't like it so looks to the next device. I said it was a long-shot, to save a lot more set-up work [02:37] somsip: I type it in and am told that test is not a command [02:37] eeee: TJ- Yeah, no dice 'ere. [02:37] Bobbo_: OK, "Try Ubuntu" again *sigh* [02:37] _unreal_ this might be a dumb question as i am new to linux but if i have network access to the ubuntu server, can i just use ssh if it boots up before entering any passwords locally? [02:37] erick__: your syntax is still wrong. Find a basic guide on bash commands to help you [02:38] TJ-: There. [02:38] Bobbo_: OK, we have to regain the lost real ESP :) [02:38] <_unreal_> ponA, you have lost me.... can any one else help ponA ? I have suggested that if he wanted to access an encrypted computer that is on his local network. using one computer behind his router to then access the other computer with the encription would be better done using a router with OPENWRT. and set every thing up from the direct source. [02:38] Back to listdisk? [02:39] Bobbo_: This means fiddling with the current partition table again to move the Recovery partition entry from #1 to #2, so we can recreate #1 to point to the real ESP [02:39] <_unreal_> yes [02:39] Bobbo_: No; we'll do this the guru's way :p [02:39] <_unreal_> yes you can ponA so long as you have an SSH server installed, or if you prever vnc [02:39] ponA, yes you can ssh into a server without having anyone logged in localy [02:39] <_unreal_> prefer [02:39] TJ-: how does it know which file to boot? i mean shouldn't we add the .efi to efibootmgr ? [02:39] Bobbo_: less chance of a cock-up :) [02:39] I feel like I should be wearing white, TJ-. [02:40] sorry name change .. Any help with an initramfs issue? [02:40] _unreal_ okay, thats cool, so i just need to send the WOL signal and choose a strong password to establish a secure SSH connection and enter my password [02:40] that's cool :) [02:40] Bobbo_: You should :) eeee Godd point, I was forgetting everything was offset to /Recovery/RicaTools/ [02:40] <_unreal_> ponA, trying to add ssh access in a complicated method as your describing using multi computers behind a router over the internet is not going to happen easy, especially with your idea of a method. [02:41] Bobbo_: You fancy one more reboot test before we engage surgical gowns? [02:41] <_unreal_> sort of [02:41] Yes. [02:41] ponA, if the NAS is going to be open to the internet I would disable password login via ssh and go with a key encryption over ssh it is much more secure === Steve_Jobs is now known as Steve_Jobes [02:41] <_unreal_> ponA, first do you have an ssh server installed on that computer, second do you know the syntex to access an SSH server? [02:41] Bobbo_: "sudo mkdir /efi/" then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /efi" [02:41] Let's try some more erroneous hacking before scrubbing up. === Steve_Jobes is now known as Steve_Jobs [02:42] TJ-: Aye. [02:42] <_unreal_> also, is wake on lan setup in your ubuntu servers bios? you will also need sleep/suspend setup working in the bios and in the ubuntu os its self [02:42] _unreal_ ssh would be easy with portforwarding and so on, i logged into my raspberry pi several times but i thought it would have to be "unlocked" locally first [02:43] Bobbo_: Then "sudo mkdir /efi/EFI/" followed by "sudo cp -a /efi/Recovery/RicaTools/* /efi/EFI/" === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [02:43] What does -a do for cp? O_o [02:43] _unreal_ i still could use the raspberry pi to just "push" the power button of the server [02:43] <_unreal_> Bobbo_, : man cp [02:44] _unreal_: I know, but it was running the command and cba for tmux, lol. [02:44] TJ-: Done! [02:44] Bobbo_: Then "ls /efi/EFI/" should show the files have been copied in - "cp -a" is an archive, recursive directories, copy [02:44] Ya, looks like it [02:44] how to remove network device [02:44] Bobbo_: looking at your previous pastebin you should see all the same entries as are shown there under "/efi/Recovery/RicaTools/" - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314838/ [02:44] thats not in interfaces [02:45] Bobbo_: You've simply made copies under "/efi/EFI/" [02:45] TJ-: ya [02:45] !details | SP33D [02:45] SP33D: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [02:45] <_unreal_> ponA, if you now all that then why are you asking these questions? [02:45] Bobbo_: I think I made a boo-boo there === lilly is now known as Guest65824 [02:45] TJ-: You mean a Bobbo ? :D [02:45] Bobbo_: Yes, copied one directory too deep LOL [02:46] Bobbo_: "sudo mv /efi/EFI/* /efi/" [02:46] _unreal_ i did not know that you could just ssh into a machine, i thought you would have to be logged into it locally first [02:46] <_unreal_> no [02:46] TJ-: why aren't we just adding /recovery/Ricatools/..efi to the efibootmgr ? as is [02:46] i mean we're going to have to add that line anyways right [02:47] Bobbo_: then show me "pastebinit < <(find /efi/)" [02:47] <_unreal_> ponA, correct, so long as the ssh server is started up, and the computer has a network connection you can ssh [02:47] eeee: Because "/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" is the 'simple' path that the UEFI firmware will look for on a device to boot it without a custom boot menu entry - as used for removable devices particularly [02:47] ponA, now, if you don't have anyone logged in locally then the user's home directory will not be decrypted by default if you selected to encrypt home directories when you installed ubuntu [02:48] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315070 [02:48] Bobbo_: "sudo rmdir /efi/EFI" [02:49] _spearhead_ but i could decrypt them via ssh, right? [02:49] omg i mess up the names, sorry spearhead :) [02:50] TJ-: Aye [02:50] ponA, yes, i don't remember the command right now but I will look it up, but after you logged in over ssh you would run a command which would decrypt the home directory. [02:50] <_unreal_> spearhead, you have been spearheaded [02:50] Bobbo_: eeee This is relying on: "Boot loaders can also be automatically detected by the UEFI firmwares, to enable booting from removable devices. Auto-detection relies on a standardized file path to the operating system loader, depending on the actual architecture to boot. Format of the file path is defined as /BOOT/BOOT.EFI, e.g. /efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" [02:51] spearhead no need to look it up, i havent got the ubuntu machine yet [02:51] Bobbo_: "sudo umount /efi" then try reboot and hope :) [02:51] <_unreal_> ponA, if you have like a large key file then you just keep a thumb drive with you with the data you need for decription [02:51] TJ-: no dice [02:52] Bobbo_: *sigh* [02:52] booting into live usb [02:52] _unreal_ but it would not work if i want to decrypt via internet, or does it? [02:52] Bobbo_: OK, we'll recover the ESP Ubuntu created [02:52] _unreal_, it isn't even that complicated... if I remember right after you log in over ssh you run a command and it asks for your login password then decrypts the home directory like normal [02:53] <_unreal_> spearhead, I'm talking about if he has like some huge hash key code [02:53] <_unreal_> 256bit blaa blaa blaa [02:53] you would only need that if you are doing key authentication for ssh... [02:54] and you should be using at least 2048 bit for that... [02:55] TJ-: So, listdisk? XD [02:55] Bobbo_: testdisk? No! We'll do this properly! [02:55] um yeah [02:55] that one [02:55] Okay [02:56] hang on [02:56] * Bobbo_ dons lab coat [02:57] _unreal_, ponA, it looks like the command is ecryptfs-mount-private === Gnomethrower is now known as Dogecoin === Dogecoin is now known as Gnomethrower === spearhead is now known as namecoin [02:58] Bobbo_: "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s mkpart primary 2048 1050623" [02:58] spearhead thx, i'll note that! can't wait for my hardware to arrive :) === namecoin is now known as spearhead [02:59] TJ-: update fstab? O_o [02:59] Bobbo_: Errr, no [03:00] TJ-, Hey [03:00] o/ [03:00] TJ-: It says too. :3 [03:00] well, may need too. [03:00] Anyway [03:01] Bobbo_: now I'm figuring out the command to transpose the 2 partitions you should now have, using sgdisk. Can you show me "pastebinit < <(sudo parted print)" in the meantime? [03:01] ponA, it also looks like if you login via ssh and before you run that command you edit your $HOME/.profile and add ecryptfs-mount-private to the end of that file then it will automatically ask for your password and decrypt your home directory [03:02] spearhead, thats even nicer! [03:02] Bobbo_: First let's change the type of the Recovery partition back to msftdata (0700) with "sudo sgdisk --typecode=1:0700 /dev/sda" then check that yourself with "sudo parted /dev/sda print" to make sure that is done [03:03] TJ-: Forget the parted thing then? [03:03] Bobbo_: show me it once you're done :) [03:04] So change the type then do it? [03:04] ponA, I would test it but the only server that I have that has encrypted home directory has my user logged in locally and I would have to swap around monitors and keyboards to logout to test it... [03:04] Bobbo_: I don't want to take steps without verifying the state of the partition table is what I assume it to be [03:04] Bobbo_: Yes, please [03:05] <_unreal_> spearhead, cant vnc? [03:05] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315142 [03:05] <_unreal_> or rather dont have vnc setup on that computer? [03:05] When will 14.04.2 be out? [03:05] _unreal_, nope, ubuntu server, no gui [03:05] spearhead no problem, i'll test it if my hardware arrives, if it does not work i'll come back here... [03:06] Bobbo_: Good, now let's make #2 an ESP: "sudo sgdisk --typecode=2:EF00" then check that #2 is shown as an EFI System Partition [03:06] https://plus.google.com/107174506890941499078/posts/Nr6jWDhQA1Z [03:07] TJ-: What device for that sgdisk command? [03:07] Bobbo_: Arggh!! "/dev/sda" [03:08] Bobbo_: getting tired here... almost dawn [03:08] I know. :3 [03:08] That says it completed successfully! [03:08] 6am here, somehow cereals are cheering me up big time [03:08] <_unreal_> 11pm === Gnomethrower is now known as Gnome [03:08] 4AM === Gnome is now known as NotGnomethrower [03:09] TJ-: Next? :) [03:09] Bobbo_: 04:08 here OK, now lets check the fat32 file-system is valid. "sudo fsck.fat /dev/sda2" [03:10] Um, it looks valid? [03:10] Bobbo_: It should be; I took the start/end sector numbers from your earlier pastebin [03:10] which one? [03:10] Bobbo_: Good ... now we can mount it and add the boot files [03:11] Bobbo_: This one http://paste.ubuntu.com/8314003/ [03:11] um, no [03:11] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315182/ [03:12] Bobbo_: Looking good :) now do "sudo kpartx -a /dev/sda" followed by "pastebinit < <(cat /proc/partitions)" [03:13] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315194/ [03:15] Bobbo_: Going well :) ... "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/efi /mnt/rec" [03:15] Bobbo_: Then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/rec" and "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/efi" [03:16] aye [03:18] Bobbo_: "sudo cp -a /mnt/rec/efi/* /mnt/efi/" then "pastebinit < <(find /mnt/efi)" [03:19] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315217/ [03:21] Bobbo_: I done it again! Let's fix my mistake: "sudo mv /mnt/efi/boot/* /mnt/efi/EFI/BOOT/" and "sudo mv /mnt/efi/microsoft /mnt/efi/EFI/" === NotGnomethrower is now known as GT|Work|away [03:22] Bobbo_: then let me check I got it correct this time: "pastebinit < <(find /mnt/efi)" [03:22] just out of curiosity as i am just learning about linux file systems... apparently you can unmount /home, then cd to /home and use ls to list all the data that is there (which is empty). what will happen if you use mkdir foo to make a directory in your unmounted /home directory? [03:23] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8315261/ [03:23] TJ-: that's odd, how does it have the /EFI/ubuntu/ files there? [03:23] ponA: You're not doing it in the unmounted file-system, you're doing it the parent file-system. When you re-mount the /home file-system it will 'hide' "/home/foo" until you unmount /home again [03:23] Hey I'm auditing a system and there's a user that can execute sudo without password, but he's not in the sudoers file, or a part of a sudo group. How can this be? [03:24] ponA: it will jsut be there .. and disapear when you mount home again [03:24] isn't this a fresh ESP, with all the files from the /recovery ? [03:25] Nevermind. I see that he has a file in the /etc/sudoers.d directory. [03:25] eeee: Bobbo_ had installed 14.04 on the hard disk already; the problem we're trying to fix is that his Toshiba laptop UEFI will not save and keep the Ubuntu boot menu entry. All this work is so Bobbo_ can use Windows (which he'd earlier wiped completely) to install firmware updates that may fix the issue! [03:26] yeah i know, but i mean the files, on the new esp, how is /efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi there? [03:26] i mean didnt you just create the esp, and copy the files from the recovery ? [03:26] eeee: Because all I did was recovery the ESP at the start of the disk that testdisk had removed when it rescued the Recovery partition [03:26] oh ok, i thought you created a new one [03:27] interesting [03:27] so if you specify the sectors, it'll just create a partition and whatever is already there is there? [03:28] Bobbo_: I just want to triple-check that the "/mnt/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI" is the Windows version, by testing its checksum: "md5sum /mnt/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI /mnt/rec/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" [03:28] eeee: correct [03:28] Bobbo_: That command should calculate checksums on those 2 files, and the checksums should be identical [03:29] they match [03:29] eeee: remember when we edit a partition table, we're just editing pointers, not the data in the area of the disk they point to [03:29] Bobbo_: Yay! [03:29] Bobbo_: "sudo umount /mnt/{rec,efi}" .... and try another reboot! [03:30] Take a guess [03:31] Bobbo_: No dice? [03:31] Aye [03:31] Bobbo_: well that's a ^&%%! [03:31] TJ-: i see [03:32] circumflex ampersand percent percent? [03:32] :P [03:32] Bobbo_: Does the Toshiba boot manager have an entry to get into a UEFI Shell? Most 'good' UEFI do, and that shell is extremely powerful and can allow you to manually bot anything [03:33] um [03:33] There's a UEFI shell? [03:33] Reading package lists... Error!

[03:36] but my gpu (hd3850) have support for h264/vc1 (it works on windows) [03:36] wiki/RadeonFeature says, that radeon driver for my card can decode h264 (and i have updated firmware n fresh kernel), but.. [03:36] trying to achieve full video decoding for several days in a row, but without success ( [03:36] vdpauinfo http://pastebin.com/pFVwyQKn [03:36] that's a recovery usb, it'll give you a command prompt, use diskpart to mount the partitions, and dism to extract the image with the right index [03:36] dmesg | grep radeon http://pastebin.com/tCPuXkkh [03:37] Bobbo_: 2 choices - vcut your losses, install Ubuntu in legacy BIOS mode, but that'll probably prevent any future chance to get the Recovery image installed, which prevents firmware updates like the one we've been trying to facilitate, or 2) take a breather and try again when we're fresh [03:37] then create the efi files [03:37] eeee: When it says to burn to usb drives, that's basically just saying dd? [03:37] Bobbo_: never used it [03:38] i guess dd [03:38] I'm thinking it might be easier to burn a win7 DVD from this iso I've got and then install Win7 to do this firmware patch. [03:38] if you have a fast connection, it would be pretty easy to restore the pc [03:39] Bobbo_: eeee We could do the same thing from the Ubuntu Live, but just create a USB stick with the UEIFI shell on it, which *would* boot since it is a true removable device. I suspect our problem here is that firmware doesn't look for the 'simple' boot-manager on fixed hard disks, only on removable media [03:39] the update manager is broken, how do i fix it? thanks [03:39] It's 4:40 AM and I'm supposed to be working 'today', done fuck all 'yesterday' because of this laptop, lol. [03:39] like if you knew the commands it would take about 20mins [03:39] Bobbo_: Get some sleep, let's give it ago another time when we're all fresh [03:40] Bobbo_: In that time I can create you a small bootable UEFI USB image that I have pre-tested to work [03:40] actually it would take like 10mins tops [03:41] I think installing in legacy mode would be much quicker, tbh. XD [03:42] But; this is supposed to be a uni laptop (4 years of computer science), so something 'better' than that might be a good idea... But given how much of a pita it's been I might buy another.

Firefox and Midori are timing out very frequently saying that they cannot resolve hostnames [03:43] has anyone seen something like this before? [03:44] i thought it was free [03:44] eeee: Yes, $20 minimum, $40 for Pro, and it is a Linux bootable device with custom tools on - I requested the source-code and they ignored me totally, and it didn't work!

[03:45] TJ-: i see [03:45] s/either// [03:46] Bobbo_: I think you get sleep now, give us some time to prepare, and then go again when we're all rested and alert [03:46] Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. [03:46] Bobbo_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libqxmlrpc1 this is all i could find [03:46] Bobbo_: If you need to leave a msg, use MemoServ on here [03:47] We will conquer this laptop, not only because I really like the vinyl sticker on the back but it cost my friend 27 quid to post it to me to borrow. :P [03:47] slash_T: What version of ubuntu are you running? [03:47] well, doesn't matter... [03:47] slash_T: Is that on 14.04, and do you have the "Universe" section enabled? [03:47] Bobbo_: 12.01 [03:48] Basically what TJ- just said, you need to include packages from universe repos. [03:48] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe multiverse" [03:48] That should work, I think. [03:48] Well, you don't need the multiverse bit [03:48] TJ-: I am running a live version of ubuntu 12 [03:50] Bobbo_: eeee good-night/morning! for now [03:50] wow all done nice people, you have literally saved my freaked up hairy ass, thanks <3 [03:51] It is done nice and easy [03:51] bless you all [03:51] Yes, sleepytime.

Any idea why `aptitude install ruby2.0` installs 1.9.3?

[07:26] when I log in, it says it is still 13.10 [07:26] thanks guys [07:26] evil_dan2wik: dist-upgrade won't upgrade to the next release [07:26] probably burn a disc with latest ubuntu/create flash drive [07:27] and install from that [07:27] evil_dan2wik, do-release-upgrade [07:27] oh ok [07:28] no, it still says latest version [07:28] like i said [07:28] tkat, re-install will be one of the last things I do. [07:28] I have about 70 things I need to keep [07:28] oh [07:29] and I have no idea how to transfer them. [07:29] cant upgrade from discs?! o-o [07:29] you can reinstall and keep your documents [07:29] ObrienDave, not documents [07:29] this is why i personally stay on lts releases... [07:29] settings, installed programs, etc [07:30] tkat, I thought I was on the LTS release on this laptop but it turns out I downloaded the wrong version [07:30] ObrienDave, various programs that I have no clue where they keep the configs [07:30] lts is 14.04 [07:30] ObrienDave: is the reinstall bug fixed yet? [07:30] or 12.04 [07:30] cynicallemon, what reinstall bug? [07:30] hi [07:30] hi [07:30] evil_dan2wik: make sure you have a working internet connection on the box [07:31] tkat, I thought I got 14.04 but I ended up with 13.04 and then I upgraded to 13.10 [07:31] geirha, working as in? [07:31] geirha, I am on the box right now. [07:31] talking to you. [07:31] oh [07:32] evil_dan2wik: Ok. Odd. sudo do-release-upgrade should've detected 14.04 [07:32] if i rotate screen, do i have to manualy change cleartype rendering? does cleartype support vertical subpixel orientation? [07:32] ObrienDave: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192 [07:32] Launchpad bug 1265192 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Trusty) "Install/reinstall wipes out all/other partitions" [Critical,Triaged] [07:33] always, always, always make a backup before a major upgrade === zeus is now known as Guest95098 [07:34] what are the ups/downs of using ubuntu over linux mint [07:34] ouch, such bug [07:34] not including the obvious codecs missing in ubuntu [07:34] cuz theyre close sourced === Guest95098 is now known as fa7ad [07:35] hello everyone, i was wondering if there was a way to re order the close-minimize-maximize buttons on unity. I'm on 14.04 [07:36] tkat, cinnamon/mate is better than unity imho. [07:37] Is there a feedly ubuntu app? i am using liferea for so long but lately i am having problem with it marking items read from time to time [07:37] fa7ad, pleez tell me what imho means, something ive wonsered for ages [07:37] fa7ad: both sit atop a rather dicey gnome shell imho [07:38] true [07:38] tkat: in my humble opinion [07:39] geirha: thanks [07:39] tkat: and imo is the same, just without humble [07:39] figured as much... [07:39] if im converting videos using the command line and i use something like avconv -i /home/me/videos/* [07:39] cynicallemon, its true that they are both based on gnome 3 but these forks are amazingly stable. and personally the gnome2-ish look appeals a lot of users too [07:39] how do i specify that command to use the same filenames as the input file [07:40] cynicallemon, well, that could be dangerous. best to use the "something else" option [07:40] for the output file but different extension [07:40] fa7ad: well for gnome 2ish we have mate [07:41] i use cinnamon [07:41] i still have a lm 9 disc lying around [07:41] hi [07:41] ObrienDave: yeah, trouble with automation is that it only take one person to screw up many people [07:41] cynicallemon, cinnamon's ui is a bit fancier. mate is good nonetheless [07:41] anyone? [07:42] please help [07:42] so basically cinnamon is mate but fancier [07:42] tkat, whaaaa? lm 9? 17 is running... 9 is ancient [07:42] hello [07:42] fa7ad: i just dont like the lack of customization in gnome now [07:42] i know.... [07:43] if im converting videos using the command line and i use something like avconv -i /home/me/videos/* [07:43] cynicallemon, cinnamon is pretty customizable afaik. [07:43] pumbaway: use handbrake [07:43] pumbaway: or vlc, it can do thag [07:43] that [07:43] pumbaway: for file in ~/Videos/*.avi; do avconv ... -i "$file" "${file%.avi}.mp4"; done [07:44] fa7ad: im just getting bored with all the sideways forking which doesnt forward linux [07:44] fa7ad: i like the compiz effects [07:45] hi [07:45] pumbaway: I don't know avconv, so you'll have to figure out the right options and such, but if "$file" is foo.avi, "${file%.avi}.mp4" will be foo.mp4 [07:45] pumbaway: or, like i said before, use handbrake or vlc, its easier and uses a gui [07:46] cynicallemon, http://www.picpaste.com/VfJBHyJa.png this is my desktop on mint 16 cinnamon [07:47] fa7ad: cool, mate or cinnamon? [07:47] tkat, cinnamon [07:47] fa7ad: and lotsa love for the wallpaper :3 [07:48] tkat, i don't remember the name of the wallpaper, a friend suggested that one [07:48] hi [07:49] hi [07:50] tkat: do you have a support question? [07:50] no [07:50] tkat, what's with the repeated hi? [07:50] because someone joind then someone else did [07:50] so i said hi to welcome them [07:50] there are over 1600 in here. Are you going to say hi to all of them? [07:51] tkat: if you want to chat, go to #ubuntu-topic. If you say hi and bye to everyone who comes and goes here it'll get very silly [07:51] lol [07:51] tkat, you're a good guy [07:51] hi universe... === xubuntu is now known as Guest29918 [07:51] just trying to be nice...gosh... [07:52] tkat: you'll find it will annoy people who are help to help others. Because so many people join here, say hi. Then ask to ask a question, then it all goes downhill from there. [07:52] besides, most of the ones that join are idlers, so they won't see your "hi" anyway [07:52] really? [07:52] geirha, true that [07:52] hi, I downloaded and used unetbootin to install xubuntu 14 from my hard drive, I rebooted from xp into xubuntu live which worked fine, then I ran install, which displayed no partitions for install and crashed when i tried to create them [07:53] tkat: hang around, look for opportunities to help, and you're welcome. Or join #ubuntu-offtopic to say hi to everyone :) [07:53] somsip: ok [07:54] Guest29918: silly question, i know, but are your computers specs good for xubuntu? [07:54] ok so anybody with a solution to my problem? reordering close-minimize-maximize buttons on unity [07:54] Does anyone know how to get the think pad e540 out of the suspend / hypernate mode? [07:54] should be 80gb harddrive, pentium 4, 1gb ram [07:54] Guido1, press the power button O.o [07:54] fa7ad: lol [07:55] fa7ad: pressing it short: nothing, pressing it long: off [07:55] Guest29918, try using a gparted live disk [07:55] take the battery out, putit back in then press the powr button i guess? [07:55] Guido1, what happens when you press any key on the keyboard? [07:55] fa7ad: nothing [07:56] Guido1, might seem weird do you have AMD gpu by any chance [07:56] Guest29918, what are your specs? [07:57] have no rewriteable cds, dvds or usb stick so attempting to install xubuntu through unetbootin from hard drive [07:57] fa7ad: intel celeron i5 if you mean that === Deli_Blackrose is now known as AmyPond [07:57] *intel core i5 [07:57] Guido1: thats the cpu [07:58] Guido1: he means graphics card === AmyPond is now known as ClaraOswinOswald [07:58] Guest29918, maybe thats the problem? === ClaraOswinOswald is now known as AmyPond [07:58] fa7ad: grapic card is also from intel [07:59] Guido1, nope was asking because i had a similar problem while using fglrx on saucy, but got fixed by changing to fglrx-updates [07:59] Guido1: intel hd graphics/iris graphics? [07:59] fa7ad: this might answer your problem - http://geekum.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/how-to-move-the-close-button-in-gnome-shell-3-4-to-the-left-like-ubuntu/ [07:59] Guido1: thats maybe the problem. i dont think integrated graphics work well. [08:00] once xubutu live has loaded I click Install Xubutu cd icon from desktop, brings up welcome screen, I select english then preparing for install, I press continue then it stalls for very long time, doesn't show any partitions and crashes when i try to create them [08:00] Guest29918, try the alternative cd instead of live one [08:01] ive never used unetbootin so im not sure if itd be there, but see [08:02] trouble is I'm networking off a TP-Link wifi card so netinstall load doesn't pick up dhcp connection [08:02] fa7ad, tkat: Intel HD Graphics 4600 [08:02] have no lan cable either === AmyPond is now known as Deli_Blackrose [08:05] im back [08:05] Guest29918: try the alternate cd!! [08:06] alright, I'll try that way round the problem, thanks for your time :) [08:06] ok [08:06] your welcome [08:06] is it easy to "move"(mount? i recall i saw such ability to mount /home into other place when i was installing system ) /home into other harddrive ? might it break anything? [08:07] Guest29918, check your partition table using a gparted live disk if you can [08:07] CodeGosu: i think it would break a lot of applicstions [08:08] who's running Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro Retina? The main resolution is 2560 x 1600, I should consider running it on 1680 x 1050, 1440 x 900 is not a normal setting and a bit blurry. Thoughts if it is good? [08:09] streulma: run on the main/max resolution, and try to change the UI scale instead [08:09] CodeGosu, how about a symbolic link. did you try that? its likely to break some apps though [08:09] streulma, change the DPI settings [08:09] awestroke, from Ubuntu "Display" menu? === Deli_Blackrose is now known as ClaraOswinOswald === ClaraOswinOswald is now known as Deli_Blackrose [08:10] streulma: I found this: http://oldpapyrus.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/ui-scale/ [08:10] streulma: try 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc === UKn0Me is now known as allthehats [08:13] fa7ad: how do you change DPI settings?

[08:30] deluge! [08:30] fa7ad, deluge [08:30] ObrienDave: well, all I'm saying is it is not user friendly now. it was much easier to change number of workspaces in gnome 2d [08:30] :) [08:31] myeagleflies, that's why i use XFCE ;) [08:31] does this channel aply to ubuntu studio. . [08:31] havarka, well then just change the deluge files where it mentions transmission [08:31] http://www.picpaste.com/pics/yoda_newbie_sm.1410424079.jpg [08:32] virgosign, ask your question anyhow. we will help if we can [08:32] virgosign, up to a point, yes [08:32] ok [08:32] hello lads [08:32] bit of a question [08:32] how do i redirect my internet connection through another pc?

This can be caused by: [13:42] [...] * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu" [13:43] Does this mean I need to purge all third part software? [13:43] Third party software is installed, wouldn't make a difference to disable the PPA [13:43] so i should purge all third party software?

[14:32] considering there was no way to go backwards in the installation after selecting 'alongside', i thought that whatever it would do wouldnt be destructive [14:32] pero, I can't see (chinese firewall), but I expect that your new OS should have gone into an extended partition.

While I know how to delete I dont know how to find out unnecessary [14:39] pero, you might have to look at the grub entries.

[14:43] no it doesnt [14:43] yes it does it shows you what it will look like then when you click apply it it warns formats are perminant ? [14:43] nope [14:44] option of 'replace fedora' or 'alongside fedora', no preview, no warning and no way to go back [14:47] pero, did you look at the "something else" option? [14:48] that was there too - i was curious to see what 'alongside fedora' would look like [14:48] but unfortunately after selecting it i couldnt go back - and there was no preview [14:48] my intention was to do the partitioning myself [14:49] strange im sure there was a warning last time I did that, either a bug or the installer has changed [14:49] fdisk shows I have 3 filesystem '/dev/sda7;/dev/sda8;/dev/sda9', however df only can show the /dev/sda9 witch is mounted on "/" why???

[15:03] there were claims that it works fine on 12.04 [15:04] japro: please type in full sentences rather than all these separate lines.

[15:04] EiriksUbuntu: perhaps you could ask in an android channel [15:05] EiriksUbuntu: yes, but you seem to be confused anyway so i went for the easier solution [15:05] adb pull [15:05] 14.04.1, xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.1) is broken. how can i install previous version? [15:05] not confused, just to much medicine [15:06] thanks guys :) [15:08] so the firmware seems to exist in the raring version. which kinda suggest the people claiming it should work in 12.04 were off or not talking exactly about my chipset. so i'm back at installing 14.04 i guess and wondering how to not make it unusable [15:08] how i can edit bootable iso disk under ubuntu?

When I chroot into the new rfs and do uname it still shows x86_64 not i386. Is that right? [15:53] Are there any settings I can use to reduce physical memory usage? I don't want to change DE or application software. I don't mind losing performance to save memory. [15:53] switch to arch? lol. [15:53] sakamop: use lighter applications then [15:53] jazzed: chroot uses the currently running host kernel, so that'll probably be inaccurate === Protocol is now known as Guest17222 [15:53] my ubuntu 14.04 is running in low graphics mode..?how do i get it back to normal? [15:54] uninstall unity [15:54] get lxde [15:54] vite: it depends /how/ old.

[15:55] sakamop: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/maximizing_performance#Compcache.2FZram [15:55] There's no system/kernel setting?

[16:00] Toadstool2: there's no such thing as best, but try clementine [16:00] ActionParsnip, yes i will try...and thanks [16:01] thanks dafty [16:01] sakamop: as of ~6 months ago, mozilla actually had better memory usage than chrome in a number of tests [16:01] ActionParsnip, i will have to try it in recovery mode.Can i? [16:01] mystogan: as long as there is a web connection, yes :) [16:01] ok ActionParsnip [16:01] sakamop: and limiting the number of open file descriptors will either have no effect on memory usage, *or* will cause programs to fail spontaneously. [16:02] sakamop: if you can manage to get everything to use hugeTLB, that'll cut down on memory usage. [16:02] mjrosenb: Fair enough but I'm locked into Chrome due to Google book purchases. :-) I understand what you are saying though - there's no easy way out without changing user apps or DE. I'd prefer to change DE or buy a new laptop. [16:02] sakamop: could switch to Midori [16:02] daftykins: yes i can do the backup, will it be re-applicable after i re-install?

[16:08] lol [16:09] you want chatroulette stefan_np [16:09] (Intel Atom with PowerVR GPU , Dell system) [16:09] or facebook [16:09] why do ppl think re-installation is an acceptable thing to suggest someone who just needs to get his sound driver working (why did it break?!?!?! ) [16:10] kill_-9_1: i was going to suggest #android :-p [16:10] AlonzoTG: because it'll keep them busy, and not asking questions for a few hours :-p [16:11] mjrosenb: I like my ubuntu just like this, but i made some mistakes in partitioning the hard drive, i made it too small for ubuntu system [16:11] mjrosenb: For GNU/Linux? (#intel-gfx just made a dialog) [16:11] AlonzoTG: probably because they give little to no information to help them to begin with, just like your question: "why did it break?" [16:11] TJ-: How big is this image? [16:12] I think someone decided that ALSA was too reliable and decided to replace it with a sack of turd that they could have fun fixing... [16:12] ashadiqi: yeah, you definitely don't need to reinstall for that. [16:13] I have '0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/bin/python ~/.i3/i3bg.py' in my crontab; running the command in terminal works, but the crontab is not running it [16:13] <_486> my sound on laptop has quit a few times... believe it or not closing lid (sleep) and opening again fixed it [16:13] How is Ubuntu's support for the new AMD HSA processors? [16:13] <_486> ./shrug [16:13] does anyone know how to specify a port on IRSSI? [16:13] mjrosenb: let my try it, thanks [16:14] daftykins: you too sir, thanks [16:14] mine does not recognize any audio devices, when it actually is quite well equipped for a $400 bargain barrel model. [16:14] hi [16:14] i tried "/connect -p 6665 irc.network.net" [16:14] i dont think the syntax is quite right [16:14] The sound hardware was made by this obscure, no name, 2-bit company called Intel... [16:14] i also tried "/connect irc.network.net:6665" [16:14] that dosent work either [16:14] so no way that could be supported so that it "just worked" [16:15] put the port number after the server name [16:15] no quotes [16:15] seperated by a space [16:15] Toadstool2: as /help connect says: /connect irc.network.net 6665 [16:15] got it [16:15] thanks sage and Pici === Isiah is now known as MistaMike [16:16] mjrosenb: no, it's built into the kernel, unfortunately [16:17] you could write your own driver [16:18] Hi i try to do rysnc from local system itself [16:18] is unison a good replacement for rsync? [16:19] AlonzoTG: if there are weird bits in the way, like strange ACPI implementations then you may get issues [16:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8320102/ [16:19] urthmover: I've heard it tends to slow down a lot on large directories. [16:19] i try to get mail alert once its completed [16:20] mjrosenb: awesome thanks for the heads up, I'll test that before I put it in play [16:20] sage__: build a new kernel you mean? well, that's what i try to avoid. [16:20] i wanna know,i use bumblebee to swtich my GPU,(via optirun),it returns "Cannot access 2nd GPU" [16:20] why.... [16:20] (although that it might proof to be quicker to just build a new kernel, that googeling endless less for something that might not be possible) [16:21] hdtune2k: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:21] hello [16:21] ...why can't new USB host drivers just work? [16:21] arrr..... [16:22] anyone can help how to compile kernel in ubuntu 14.04? [16:22] took ages until uhci_hcd was usable.... [16:22] then ages until ehci_hcd was usable... [16:22] ...and once again history repeats with xhci_hcd [16:22] noone can answer my bumblebee problem? [16:22] something is fundamentally wrong [16:22] thanmustoki: why are you trying to compile a new kernel [16:22] hdtune2k: I asked you a question.... [16:22] hdtune2k: you didnt reply [16:23] hdtune2k: why ask something to then IGNORE replys [16:23] hdtune2k: it makes no sense at all [16:23] !kernel | thanmustoki [16:23] thanmustoki: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [16:23] Hi [16:23] sorry [16:23] i [16:24] [17:20] hdtune2k: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:24] i didnt see that reply [16:24] I'm not able to disable the auto-suspend feature in my xubuntu [16:24] let me see [16:24] is there anyway to do that [16:24] innocent95: I believe its in display, you can tell the screen not to dim after so long [16:24] ubottu: thank you very much [16:24] thanmustoki: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:25] it seems like /etc/issue only contains this:"Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l" [16:25] ActionParsnip, settings > Display? [16:25] innocent95: I guess, its something like that [16:25] innocent95: same place as brightness [16:26] sage__: I just want to optimize my linux [16:26] innocent95: not used Gnome for a while so I'm losing touch of exactly where junk is [16:26] hdtune2k: have you tried nvidia-prime instead of bumblebee? [16:26] no, [16:27] what is that?sorry i am blue [16:27] thanmustoki: Looking at the kernel might be interesting, but you won't optimize it by any degree that is worth the time [16:27] hdtune2k: look it up [16:27] i am not very familar with linux [16:27] ActionParsnip, There is an option to disable that, where brightness exist as you said, but it cannot be done, you cannot modify that [16:27] ok thanks , let me search on the web [16:28] Thanks ActionParsnip and daftykins [16:28] and sorry about the ignoring of your replys! [16:29] sage__: is it take long time? and difficult? wht's difference between installing/upgrading new kernel? [16:31] thanmustoki: The kernel used by Ubuntu has already been customized for Ubuntu. It requires an immense amount of knowledge to compile a kernel that will function beyond what the default provides. [16:31] * AlonzoTG huggs his gentoo and it's unmolested kernel. === stapler117 is now known as stapler_school [16:32] :q [16:33] weechat lol [16:34] so basically the stock kernel was too well engineered so it was necessary to unleash a horde of flatheads on it to add a bunch of bugs and missfeatures. [16:34] AlonzoTG: how do you figure that? [16:35] this is not the place for your personal insights. [16:35] Are there any decent epub readers available for *buntu that would be comparable to Adobe Digital Editions? I've tried FBReader, it's...not very intuitive. [16:36] salu [16:36] you can read from the browser using amazon kindle cloud reader [16:36] fartface: calibre [16:36] salu je suis un news user et je voudrais apprendre les libres [16:37] !fr | badawi-fils [16:37] firefox also has an addon called EpubReader [16:37] badawi-fils: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [16:37] !fr [16:37] I have a question concerning a samba setup that Ive done for my home. I added two unix user, then added them as samba users and a directory for the first user was created and is accessable. A directory for the second user was never created. I created the directory for such user but I cant see it on a windows machine. Anyone have an idea why? [16:37] fartface: Doesn't Evince (the default Ubuntu document reader) handle epub? [16:37] Action: I've used calibre in the past as well, it's good for conversions, but the reader itself isn't too great. Specifically looking for one that can handle annotations. I might end up having to use Calibre as I'm pretty sure it'll be the only one that'll handle annotations. [16:38] theadmin: Evince wasn't on my install, I'll give it a shot one sec [16:38] fartface: calibre, or you can run something like Foxit under wine [16:38] fartface: evince is, it's the defautl reader [16:38] sakamop: foxit does epub? [16:38] Im using the latest ubunu server os [16:39] minus1999: did you use smbpasswd -a username to set the password for the username? [16:39] theadmin: Doesn't look like Evince handles epub [16:39] minus1999: are the clients going to be linux based too? [16:39] yes [16:39] fartface: dunno about the free one, but they have a reader [16:39] minus1999: no windows? [16:39] windows and mac os x [16:39] minus1999: oic [16:40] Though on that note, does anyone know how to have document location persistence with Evince? Like if I open a PDF, and close it, and then reopen the PDF, it'll be in the same location as when I closed it? [16:40] fartface: Sorry, I must have confused formats [16:40] minus1999: windows is holding you back here :( [16:40] theadmin: No worries, I appreciate the help :) [16:40] minus1999: is the 2nd folder defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [16:40] the only differnce i can think of is that i added a -m when i added the first user [16:41] neither of the folders are in the smb.conf [16:41] Bobbo_: The UEFI bootable image will be very small; probably around 2MB [16:41] fartface: evince does that with pdf, but i've not tried epub [16:41] minus1999: then how did you make the shares? [16:41] minus1999: you should be mounting samba shares manually, not relying upon GUIs to 'see' shares [16:41] oh wow [16:42] Im not sure. The first one was share from the start [16:42] the second one... [16:42] well i had to manually create the directory [16:43] minus1999: if you want to add folders you need to define them in smb.conf and they will be presented when the server is scanned for shares [16:43] Ah. Ill add them manually then. [16:43] minus1999: plase note, trying to get samba to play nice with NTFS is a pain [16:44] sakamop: Was it a setting? Because it's definitely not behaving like that by default for me. === kill_-9_1 is now known as MY123 [16:45] is there a better way to work with windows, file sharing wise? [16:45] then samba? [16:45] no [16:45] depends what you're really doing with the file sharing [16:45] whether it's regular or not [16:46] Hello, can anyonse help me installing ubuntu?? [16:46] im just wanting to use it as a fileserver for my home [16:46] tongl: wassup? [16:46] for both mac and window [16:47] fartface: Unsure, let me look. [16:47] minus1999: if you want multiple folders showing when you search the server, you will need to define them in smb.conf and restart the smbd service [16:47] Ive been trying to install it in 1 pc & 1 laptop but same error apeared [16:47] tongl: what error? [16:48] fartface: I open a pdf by double-click, go to page 11, close evince. double click pdf again, it comes back on that page. As I said, it does it with PDF but I haven't tried epub. [16:49] sakamop: hmm, strange it's not working for me. I don't think it can open epub at all. I'll take a look around the settings [16:49] It starts normally and it shows me optuons : language, try ubuntu, install ubuntu [16:49] It is 8.04 [16:49] sakamop: Or maybe I'm just... slow, because I just tried it again and it worked.

[16:51] heck, I even pulled some files off of 23 year old floppies.

[19:09] Bobbo_: Here's the recovery image build script for you to test. Image will be 64MB. After running the script, write the resulting image file to a USB flash device with "dd if= of=/dev/sdX bs=1M", then try booting with it. If you're lucky, you'll end up in the UEFI Tianocore v2 Shell. Start with "help". I'll be back a little later. http://iam.tj/projects/misc/uefi-build-rescue-image.sh === WinLinAppDroidGu is now known as hispixel [19:12] This may be a silly question but when I enable VT-x in bios to run VirtualBox do I get a grub menu on reboot? I can still boot right into xubuntu so it's not a big deal I'm just curious about it. [19:14] TJ-: This script is trying to invoke dd for me? O_o [19:14] Bobbo_: For creating the image itself, yes [19:14] dd: invalid status flag: `none' [19:15] Bobbo_: what version of Ubuntu is that on? [19:15] mjrosenb, Do you have a link you can share for eastag? [19:15] Precise, I'm running it on my main computer. :3 [19:16] Bobbo_: Ahhh! You may need to run it from a UEFI installation or Live ISO booted in UEFI mode, so it can also install GRUB-EFI components [19:16] brontos: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/EasyTAG [19:16] Bobbo_: re-download it, I've removed that status=none option to dd [19:17] Bobbo_: Hopefully you can make something of it until I come back - be about 30-45 mins === Wolf is now known as Guest93970 === BQ__ is now known as BQ [19:19] mattxtn, tapping the shify key brings up the grub menu on single installs, should work in vbox. [19:19] Beldar I ment when I rebooted my computer not a vbox. [19:20] mattxtn, shift is the key vbox or a regular install. [19:21] Beldar, oh I just found it weird because my grub is set to go right to xubuntu and I wasn't holding shift. Only happens when I enable the virtualization in bios. [19:22] mattxtn, On single installs it does not show, you can set it to if needed. [19:22] Beldar, alright I'll tool around with it some. That is till my curiosity kills the cat. [19:24] is shorewall a good firewall, or is there a better option? === brian is now known as Guest4983 [19:25] shorewall is dead [19:26] Really? Im following a article on how to set up a web server. [19:26] ....web server is not shorewall [19:26] use ufw [19:26] its from 2009... So what firewall would you recommend? [19:27] shorewall is just iptables [19:27] it's an interface to iptables [19:27] use iptables, as rww the ufw is what ubuntu uses [19:27] huh. [19:28] Im going to assume ubutu server has a firewall already [19:28] ... right? [19:28] I've just said it.... [19:28] not enabled [19:29] it's just a front end to iptables, ubuntu has the same concept, a front end to iptables called ufw [19:29] why do you need firewall? [19:29] It is enabled, it just doesn't have any rules. [19:29] same smae [19:29] same [19:29] does anyone have a more recent article on using ubuntu as a webserver? [19:29] that would make you suspicius [19:29] :) [19:29] https://help.ubuntu.com [19:30] there is pretty much offical docs on every ubuntu topic [19:30] I use UFW on my vps, much easier than iptables.

[19:53] Bobbo_: Hmmm, it is looking that way. Time to ask Toshiba to give your money back too! [19:53] TJ-: Not my laptop, borrowing it from a friend for uni, lol. [19:53] Bobbo_: if you can get a recovery usb [19:54] Bobbo_: Not an auspicous start! [19:54] you can restore windows in a few mins [19:54] eeee: I don't have any USB thingy big enough. My USB flash drives are really freaking weird (they have two physical partitions) and the laptop will only check the first (annoyingly smaller one). [19:54] I've been installing ubuntu from an SD card in a usb sd card reader. [19:55] eeee: The issue is, the firmware won't accept/keep the non-Windows entry. The recovery of Windows Recovery was simply to be able to install updated firmware in case that solves the issue :) Maybe not worth it! [19:55] Bobbo_: idea [19:55] Bobbo_: why don't you use vm, and use a raw disk image [19:55] eeee: wat? [19:55] with the iso loaded you could modify the hdd [19:55] TJ-: would this work? [19:56] eeee: I'm a bit lost as to what you're suggesting... expand please? [19:56] Unless... Running the bios thing in wine ain't gunna work is it? :P [19:57] Bobbo_: I tested the bootable UEFI image built by my script in a Virtual Machine here, and it works as expected [19:57] Bobbo_: No - the Flash update tools need Windows device drivers [19:57] Bobbo_: TJ- virtualbox can modify the hard disk with full access to it, using a raw disk image file [19:57] http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [19:58] if he loads the iso in the vm, and uses the raw disk image file as the hdd, then he could use diskpart and dism to extract the image to the hdd [19:58] ( the recovery image ) [19:58] eeee: We don't want to modify the HDD, we want to re-flash updated firmware that just may fix the issue, but there's no changelog against the newer UEFI firmware releases for that Toshiba laptop, to indicate it would [19:58] eeee: This laptop is fully enclosed like some ridiculous thing. To get the HDD out I'd need to pull it apart (and I would of put in the new HDD I bought if that weren't the case, avoiding basically all of these issues). [19:59] eeee: Possibly yes, but I think Bobbo_ is trying to cut his lost time; a CSM install will work fine [19:59] TJ-: I can just use the normal image and set the bios to csm boot for that, right? [19:59] Bobbo_: Yes [19:59] Bobbo_: there,s no need to pull anything out, it's just a file you create in the terminal, and you select it in virtualbox === icecream- is now known as icetea- [20:00] eeee: On my desktop? O_o === icetea- is now known as icecream [20:00] what do you mean? [20:00] Where am I suppose to run this vm? [20:01] liveusb [20:01] what are some peoples thoughts on Unity? [20:01] Bobbo_: You could do it from the Live ISO - it is possible to create virtual machines and run them from that environment [20:01] RobertJDohnert: It's poopy, both of them. :P [20:01] TJ-: oh. [20:03] Bobbo what do you use? [20:03] Bobbo_: So you'd do PC > boot USB > Try Ubuntu > Download Windows Recovery ISO Image > "apt-get install virt-manager" > create VM with Windows Recovery ISO image > Attach PC's HDD as a raw device to VM > Start VM > boot from CDROM > do recovery [20:03] RobertJDohnert: I'm on Gnome2, admittedly. But I'm still using Precise. [20:04] Ahhh OK [20:04] TJ-: he wouldn't download the recovery iso file, he says he has an iso of win7 but no way to boot it [20:04] So you planning to move to Mate? [20:04] Hi [20:04] RobertJDohnert: Why would I? [20:04] I can see my usb drive in lsusb, but can't mount it [20:04] what to do? [20:05] eeee: Because I don't have anything big enough to put it on. [20:05] Well why would you not? [20:05] If thats the approach you like [20:05] RobertJDohnert: Laziness and I'm happy as it is? [20:05] anybody have an idea? [20:05] So you plan to stay with precise until precise is dead [20:05] Bobbo_: i know, i'm just explaining that you wouldn't have to buy a recovery iso [20:06] innocent95: look in menu for Disks [20:06] RobertJDohnert: Um, what, I thought you were takling about gnome? === Fitzz is now known as Gredu [20:06] squinty, What menu, I'm on xubuntu [20:06] fdisk -l [20:06] ok [20:06] ArronKader, Nothing [20:06] innocent95: does 'blkid' report any partition or filesystem?

[20:08] But when Precise dies you will have to move to something so what will you move too?

[20:54] Yes [20:54] is there any tool that will let me scan a server and see if any of my installed packages have known vulnerabilities? [20:55] Nitrophysix: Your webserver appears to work though. [20:55] Yh, webserver is on... :) [20:55] give me a sec [20:55] I am on 12.04 right now and want to upgrade to the latest LTS. I edited the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and changed Prompt to lts. When i enter "do-release-upgrade -c": No new release found [20:55] Nitrophysix: "sudo netstat -nlup | grep 53" [20:56] anyone else having issues getting flashplayer to work? have a shitload of homework and cant do it without flash [20:56] Definatly listening to port 53 [20:56] gsvitron: tone down the language [20:56] Nitrophysix: Even if it were responding, you don't have any entries. [20:56] Whoops. Im on 12.10, not 12.04 [20:56] Nitrophysix: yr doin it rong. [20:56] gsvitron: depending on flash on linux is a bad move, [20:56] Nitrophysix: *definitely [20:57] Nitrophysix: Are you going to have multiple external addresses? [20:57] just penguinmedia.co.uk [20:57] well right now linux is my only option [20:57] I figured im doing it wrong, as said a little rusty :) [20:57] Nitrophysix: It's not listening to 53 on 37.187.236.121 [20:57] no alternative. so i need help getting it working if anyone can. it would be very appreciated [20:58] Possible firewall installed by default, let me search the system [20:58] Nitrophysix: Ok, you don't need a custom DNS then. [20:58] gsvitron: what sites do you need to view ? === iShaggy is now known as shaggysi0 === shaggysi0 is now known as iShaggy [20:58] www.explorelearning.com [20:58] I want custom DNS address's :) [20:58] gsvitron: how is it not working? [20:58] i need to access a gizmo [20:58] Nitrophysix: All you need to do is use their nameservers, and add an A (and possibly MX) record for *.penguinmedia.co.uk at 37.187.236.121 [20:59] Nitrophysix: No, you don't want custon DNS servers, that's overkill. [20:59] well in the software center i downloaded flash but every time I try and use something that requires it, it says plugin needed [20:59] ive tried firefox and chromium [20:59] Nitrophysix: You only want that if you hvae multiple external IPs and multiple public hostnames. [20:59] Id still like to use custom DNS servers :) [20:59] gsvitron: looking at that site I suspect you maybe out of luck [20:59] Nitrophysix: They serve no purpose. [20:59] Nitrophysix: nmap says: "53/udp closed domain" [20:59] gsvitron: it looks like it needs flash player 12 or greater for the videos or "gizmos" [21:00] Thanks TJ, taking a look now :) [21:00] well, it would be nice to have flashplayer for other reasons as well [21:00] Nitrophysix: nmap doesn't show it open either, and it doesn't respond to queries, and a blank zone file isn't going to respond anyway. [21:00] captchas dont load...neither does youtube [21:00] gsvitron: depending flash on linux = failure [21:00] gsvitron: flash on linux is dead, [21:01] so even getting it working on 1 site, there will be 10 more that it won't work on [21:01] The zone file has penguinmedia.co.uk [21:01] Nitrophysix: For line 6 I would put something more like: 2014091101 instead of 2 [21:01] ok no worries [21:01] Give me a sec, trying to keepup here and there :p [21:01] so basically I'm screwed? [21:01] ( eg: the current year-month-day-latest change number ) [21:02] drox@DragonFly:~$ dispcal -v -q h -y l -G 2.4 SM245B [21:02] Setting up the instrument [21:02] dispcal: Error - new_disprd() failed with 'Instrument Access Failed (No PLD Pattern - have you run spyd2en ?)' [21:02] WHY? [21:02] Nitrophysix: THe purpose of DNS is to translate the human-readable name to the IP address. You don't have any IP addresses in the zone file. [21:02] gsvitron: depends on your perspective, but from my chair, trying to use flash on linux is a dead end, [21:02] Nitrophysix: Are you sure the IP address of ns1. terminates on a Linux host? It looks suspiciously like a Windows host [21:02] hi [21:02] TJ-: I got the Ubuntu default page for apache on port 80. [21:02] 37.187.236.121 [21:02] well I've done it before. I used to have Ubuntu on my old laptop and there was never any issues [21:02] why are you trying to run a dns server when you don't know what you're doing [21:02] is the server itself [21:02] why not use your ISP's name servers [21:03] I will run whatever i like, when i like thank you. [21:03] ikonia: No, he needs to use the registrar's nameserver, with an A record for his web server and maybe an MX record. [21:03] I am on 12.10 right now and want to upgrade to the latest LTS. I edited the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and changed Prompt to lts. When i enter "do-release-upgrade -c": No new release found [21:03] Nitrophysix: I do this with about a dozen domains right now. [21:03] awsome :) [21:03] jhutchins: then why are we looking at port 53 ?? [21:03] I don't understand why he's installed bind ? [21:04] any suggestions ikonia [21:04] ? [21:04] ikonia: Because he has misunderstood the process and believes he needs to run his own DNS, which really won't work the way he thinks it will. [21:04] It worked fine with Windows Server 2008 [21:04] Ive oviously configured something incorrectly with linux. [21:04] Nitrophysix: Windows is broken. [21:04] if you can't run dns infrastructure - don't do it [21:04] Please. [21:04] trust people who do, eg: your isp [21:05] If you can shutup, do it. [21:05] Nitrophysix: drop the attitude [21:05] You drop the attitude [21:05] running insecure/miss-configured dns servers is a bad thing for the internet [21:05] * Pici sighs [21:05] so if you really don't understand it, trying to actually run on is a bad move [21:05] Nitrophysix: Have you actually checked by testing on localhost that bind is listening on port 53 and returning answers? [21:05] I don't care, Im still learning with linux. [21:05] You didnt learn from thin air did you? [21:06] Im running tests now to see if i can find the problem. [21:06] Nitrophysix: how many name servers are you currenting running [21:06] Nitrophysix: You're probably better off in #ubuntu-server for this kind of issue [21:06] currently [21:06] 20,000 [21:06] 12 [21:06] 1 [21:06] I can't install Google Chrome [21:06] Nitrophysix: any chance of a serious answer please. [21:07] ikonia: He doesn't need to fix anything, he needs to do it right in the first place. [21:07] Yes, I bought a VPS with a dedicated IP [21:07] Is it possible to run Google Chrome with Kubuntu 14.04? [21:07] Im a php programmer building a few apps with require a bit of power, now I have windows server skills, but linux is a little rusty for me. [21:07] Nitrophysix: how many name servers are you actually running for this domain ? [21:07] 1 [21:07] I could not find Google Chrome in the Muon software Centre either [21:08] Nitrophysix: a lot of registrars won't update the dns records unless you are running more than 1 [21:08] Well, they did because as said it was working with windows server, with an active dns service. [21:08] As said, I moved to linux for speed. [21:08] there will be no speed improvement [21:09] I'm out, your useless. [21:09] nice guy [21:09] I appear to be running multiple dns servers just fine [21:09] on Windows Server 2008? [21:10] no [21:11] i think I mv my .xchat2 folder and now I can't find it [21:11] BerenBarahir, either use the open source chromium-browser or download the .deb from google to add their repo for chrome [21:11] what i need to install under ubuntu if i have such type of errors when i compile my programm https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.09.12-01%3A10%3A58.png [21:11] Please somebody help me with this fucked up system. I want to upgrade my 12.10 to 14.04 LTS. How? [21:11] EiriksUbuntu: history | grep xchat2 ? [21:12] loa: what are you trying to build [21:12] loa: you probably need to add -lX11 to your link arguments, along with like 20 other X libraries. [21:13] hey guys , how can i program my ubuntu to run this command (as root) ( sudo apt-get upgrade -y && shutdown -h now ) exactly at 2.05 AM ?! [21:13] mjrosenb, i have this already. [21:13] mjrosenb, i am trying to build this thing [21:13] !eolupgrade | busch [21:13] busch: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release?

He not only wants a wrong answer, he wants a specific wrong answer. [21:14] mjrosenb, lol i fogot about one thing) [21:14] eeee: sorry im really beginner on ubuntu command , can u hint me with the full command ?! [21:14] syntroPi the same installation file works with Xubuntu 14.04, but not with Kubuntu 14.04 [21:14] my first pipeline :) [21:15] EiriksUbuntu: there you go! [21:15] mjrosenb, first command was gcc -lX11 wm_class.c -o wm_class but it need to be like this gcc wm_class.c -lX11 -o wm_class [21:15] loa: yup. [21:15] I'm running KUbuntu 14.04 off a live CD, syntroPi [21:15] mjrosenb !cookie [21:15] darn i tried [21:16] marandi: 5 2 * * * apt-get upgrade -y && shutdown -h now [21:16] syntroPi When I ran Xubuntu 14.04 off a live CD, I had not problems installing the same installation file for Google Chrome === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [21:16] syntroPi: just right clicked on the file and opened it with the Software Centre, but that does not work with Kubuntu 14.04 [21:17] having issues with flashplayer. can anyone help? [21:18] anyone? [21:18] how do i move /home/goodin/Downloads/scripts to /home/goodin/.xchat2 [21:18] eeee: shouldn't that be "shutdown -P now" ? [21:18] i must have been missing something [21:19] TJ-: -h will also poweroff, right? just leave's it up to the system to decide [21:19] !details | gavin__ [21:19] gavin__: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [21:19] Could you recommend a terminal command to install Google Chrome? [21:19] eeee: "-h" may leave the system running; I don't think that's the expectation [21:19] Since I cannot install Google Chrome using the software Centre [21:20] isnt it called chromium in linux? [21:20] BerenBarahir: "sudo dpkg -i " [21:20] EiriksUbuntu: there are both: chrome and chromium [21:20] thanks TJ, I"ll try it [21:20] EiriksUbuntu: chrome also exists, but why would you want to use it? [21:20] Flash player was installed from software center. No websites that require flash will work. I need it for homework. All I get it "Plug-in needed" [21:20] BerenBarahir: http://www.enqlu.com/2014/03/how-to-install-google-chrome-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts-or-linux-mint-17.html [21:20] BerenBarahir: The < > are my markers; don't include them :) [21:20] lol i don't [21:21] gavin__: have you re-started your browser since you installed flash? [21:21] i do want to move /home/goodin/Downloads/scripts to /home/goodin/.xchat2 [21:21] EiriksUbuntu: then do move them [21:21] TJ-: I think dpkg -i only works if you have the .deb downloaded. [21:22] EiriksUbuntu: you probably don't. [21:22] i tried and got rejected, maybe i'm not doing something right [21:22] EiriksUbuntu: mv [21:22] mv is also used to rename. [21:22] I did download it, TJ, this is the file I downloaded: google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb [21:23] mjrosenb: Yes. I've tried with chromium and firefox several times over the past week. even tried uninstalling and reinstalling hoping that it would get rid of the bug on its own. [21:23] i tried but it don't want to move [21:23] BerenBarahir: Then as TJ said, dpkg -i [21:23] EiriksUbuntu: did you use sudo? [21:24] yes [21:24] no sudo needed to move inside the home [21:24] EiriksUbuntu: It helps a lot to tell us what happened rather than just "it didn't work". [21:24] gavin__: ok, uhh, you should find out what files were installed by it. [21:24] EiriksUbuntu: Sorry, mixing nics. [21:24] 152 sudo mv /home/goodin/downloads/scripts /home/goodin/.xchat2 [21:24] gavin__: you'll first want dpkg -s flash to find out the actual name of the package that was installed. [21:24] nothing happened [21:24] mjrosenb: how do I do that? [21:25] EiriksUbuntu: if it printed nothing that does'nt mean nothing happened. [21:25] erobinson_: Both folders still there? === BQ_ is now known as BQ [21:25] what folders? [21:25] *doesn't [21:25] i looked at both folders, they are both in the same spot [21:26] EiriksUbuntu: did you use tab-completion to make sure there are no typos? [21:26] Greetings! I'm having a really hard time mapping the four colour buttons on my Logitech Harmony Smart Control Remote to scan-codes. I can see that the kernel is receiving these events when I 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/hid/events' (03 f5 01 00 00). I'm then editing my /lib/udev/hwdb.d/custom.hwdb with the right USB vendor/model (keyboard:usb:v046DpC150*) and my entries should be like other similar events - e.g. 'KEYBOARD_KEY_c0069'. [21:26] After running 'udevadm hwdb --update && udevadm trigger && udevasm control --reload' they're still not working. I suspect my raw events (03 f5 01 00 00 etc) aren't the same as 'c009a' etc. Can anyone help? [21:28] EiriksUbuntu: Aren't you trying to move "scripts/" inside ".xchat2/" ? "sudo mv /home/goodin/Downloads/scripts /home/goodin/.xchat2/" [21:29] That command did not work. Kubuntu could not find the file and says there were errors [21:29] EiriksUbuntu: So you want scripts to become a subdirectory of .xchat [21:30] EiriksUbuntu: mv scripts .xchat/ [21:30] Do I need to go to the directory where the file is stored using "CD" command, and then try that dpkg -i command again? [21:30] BerenBarahir: Not if you use the full path to the file. [21:30] jhutchins thanks [21:30] EiriksUbuntu: Worked? [21:31] guys i run apt-get upgrade -y via crontab , how can i export the result of it into a file ?! [21:31] guys i run apt-get upgrade -y via crontab , how can i export the result of it into a file in realtime ?! [21:31] !redirect [21:31] Really? [21:31] I"m not sure how to write the full path, but I know where the file is located: it's in my downloads folder [21:31] marandi: apt-get upgrade -y > /path/to/file 2>&1 [21:31] marandi: that will report the errors as well [21:31] eeee: what is &1 ? [21:32] marandi: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html [21:32] marandi: it tells standard error to go t othe same place as standard out. [21:32] BerenBarahir: "sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" [21:32] marandi: use >> instead, that will append it to the file instead of overwritting [21:33] Yeah, sorry TJ, I should have known that, thanks [21:33] is vi the commonly used editor on ubuntu [21:34] kurt2014: "commonly" no , minimal, yes [21:34] kurt2014: there is also emacs, gedit, nano, kate, scite [21:34] is emacs the most popilar [21:34] marandi: apt-get upgrade -y >> /path/to/file 2>&1 [21:34] Anybody here using Ceph? I'm trying to mount a block using CephFS on a remote client but always get "mount error 5 = Input/output error" [21:34] use that [21:35] kurt2014: I'm not sure it is possible to answer that question. [21:35] jhutchins with some modifications yep :) [21:35] hi all, please dont you know how to change the libreoffice save/open file dialogs to use the system one? [21:35] eeee: cool , its working , but can u tell me whats the difference between ">>" and ">" because i use ">" and its working fine [21:36] Fehler beim Speichern /home/goodin/.xchat2/scripts/tts/chanlist: No such file or directory [21:36] primarily a solaris unix guy.. ubuntu is just a cut down version od solaris right.. [21:36] now it's in the right place, but there isn't a chanlist folder, so I'm making one [21:36] marandi: if you use > , every time the command runs it will overwrite the existing file with the results, (so you'll only have the last command's results there), if you use >> it will continue the file, adding the new results to it [21:37] swin 25 [21:37] Kurko: not at all [21:37] kurt2014: ^* [21:38] TJ- It worked, but I got some errors during the installation because of the following problem.....

[21:39] eeee: good to know buddy , thanks alot [21:39] BerenBarahir: no, because you're missing the package it just told you you are missing. why are you installing from a deb anyway instead of like... the google PPA [21:39] marandi: no problem [21:40] Probably because I was using Xubuntu when I downloaded and saved that installation file [21:40] BerenBarahir: no [21:40] I used the installation command TJ- gave me [21:41] inux is an offshoot of Unix. Ubuntu is an offshoot of Linux. [21:41] I'm looking for a good laptop that works well with ubuntu [21:41] the install package is a deb package [21:41] BerenBarahir: When you use 'dpkg' you're responsible for ensuring all dependencies are also installed, whereas apt-get does it for you. [21:41] I have a thinkpad TS400 but the wireless chipset doesn't even have drivers in 14.04 [21:41] kurt2014: i think you discussions suit better into the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [21:43] What should I do next? ....INstall the LibPangol package? [21:43] BerenBarahir: yes, or use the google PPA [21:43] Or uninstall Google Chrome? [21:44] Is the recoll lense still available in Unity? [21:45] TJ- / eeee : Installed under legacy mode, seemed to of worked. so I'm just going with that. Thanks for the help anyways, I've learnt some stuff! [21:45] Package libpango1.0-0 is not installed. [21:45] Package libappindicator1 is not installed. [21:45] Bobbo_: haven't we all!? [21:45] Yes. [21:45] Avoid Toshiba like the plague. [21:45] BerenBarahir: just use the google ppa, this will be much easier [21:46] Are those the two packages I need to get my Google Chrome working? [21:46] I tried to install it, but says that it is unable to locate the recoll-lens [21:46] BerenBarahir: Why don't you install "chromium-browser", the open-source package that is in the archive? [21:46] BerenBarahir: good luck, you seem to be ignoring all advice [21:46] I don't know the commands for google PPA and I already installed the deb file [21:47] BerenBarahir: "sudo dpkg -r google-chrome-stable" to remove it [21:47] thanks TJ- [21:49] Is there any likelyhood of precise ever getting officially supported openssh 6.6 packages? [21:49] evaryont: precise gets only backport-patches [21:53] How do I use the sudo apt-get install command to install Google Chrome using the google ppa? [21:55] Did this channel become inactive? [21:57] sudo apt-get install google-chrome [21:57] if its a PPA it should provide packages. install those packages [21:57] Just realize you get no flash or Java support [21:58] BerenBarahir: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome [21:58] thanks QuaxEros [21:58] my cdrom is not working how can i test to see if it is working [21:59] open a terminal and type eject [22:00] if the CD-ROM opens it means its working [22:00] if it doesnt you have an ioctl problem [22:01] boris: or look for Disks in Installed Software [22:01] ok its working, now i got to find out how to mount a cd [22:02] It should automount [22:02] boris: Disks and check System Settings > Removeable Media etc [22:02] if ua [22:03] if automount is toggled on [22:03] The only time I have experienced where it doesnt is if you insert an Windows install CD or a solaris install CD === ugugyivyqhjablpw is now known as jtcuoakdyjnhpbdt === jtcuoakdyjnhpbdt is now known as sepero === GT|Work|away is now known as Gnomethrower [22:03] no ive try differnt aplcations and nothing works yet [22:04] I am trying to add lenses to the dash, but they are not showing up.

The problem is every time I try to connect to it for use on my headset it glitches. [22:18] k1l: Now those lenses appear to be fixed and unchangable [22:18] k1l: Just those standard 7 lenses [22:18] Glitches by it takes about 2 minutes of tinkering with the connect / disconnect settings to get it to work. Is there a way around this because I'm going to find this very annoying in the future. [22:19] The headset will connect but, no sound will output unless I change sound settings from telephony to high fidelity. When I select HF it grays out so I have to reconnect the headset and attempt to get it working. [22:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=lens+unity&searchon=names them are in the repos [22:20] Eventually it works but, it seems like a pain to get it connected.

[22:21] netlar: they are in the repos. you could look out for PPAs [22:21] I finaly got ubuntu to install on my labtop and every thing is working Great but one thing the dvd drive [22:21] Well I tried Recoll, and it says it has a lense for that in a ppa and I installed it, but still not showing up in the dash [22:22] can any one give me some pointers [22:22] point point [22:22] there are two for you [22:22] netlar: did you relogin? [22:22] some help [22:22] k1l: yes, still nothing [22:23] i have tryed some simple like braso to do a copy but that dont reconise it ether [22:23] k1l: Also do not wnat to mess things up, if additional lenses are not available that is ok too, just be nice === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [22:25] netlar: what gives you "dpkg -l |grep -i recoll"? please in pastebin [22:26] how do I find the mac address of my bluetooth headset [22:27] k1l: Here http://pastebin.com/LxkZPk1M [22:27] Could you please tell me if the following 3 steps would properly install Google Chrome, and automatically include the following 2 packages I had problems with earlier, because I'm not using the google ppa: [22:27] Package libpango1.0-0 [22:27] Package libappindicator1 [22:28] http://pastebin.com/vDPAtDwn [22:28] those are the 3 steps [22:28] netlar: you need to start "recoll" first and let it set up its database [22:28] when that is finished there should be the lense after relogin [22:28] Yes, did that, but let me do that again [22:29] k1l: I did that before installing the lens, maybe I need to do after installing the lense [22:29] BerenBarahir: you can find out for yourself by doing all but the final command, then run "apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" instead [22:30] thanks daftykins [22:30] BerenBarahir: 1st: just get the google chrome .deb package and install that. 2nd: why are you doing that on a live system? [22:30] because this PC has Windows XP installed [22:31] can anyone help me find the mac address of my bluetooth headset which is already paired ? [22:32] daftykins Should I prefix the last command you gave me with sudo? [22:32] nevermind got it [22:34] BerenBarahir: no [22:35] ok, thanks dafty === [1]joshnumpty is now known as joshnumpty [22:36] Now it appears I need to restart unity and compiz [22:37] logout. [22:37] I did [22:37] But the desktop is not working anymore [22:37] did recoll run through and did its database? [22:37] o_O [22:37] yes, but unity and or compiz looks messed up [22:38] Forgot how to restart those [22:38] Never mind got it, just needed to click on it [22:38] Stupid me [22:38] Anyway, the lens is still not there === nik0 is now known as niko [22:39] It is in the sources when I look at the sources for Dash [22:40] ........apt-cache policy ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb [22:40] daftykins, I used the above command [22:40] But Kubuntu could not locate the package [22:40] It's in my Downloads folder [22:41] k1l: it is alright, not a deal breaker [22:42] BerenBarahir: that's not how you run it, apt-cache comes from an added PPA as per the instructions you linked, not on a downloaded package [22:42] k1l: I saw articles on how to add lenses for 13.04, got excited, but none of those articals are for 14.04 [22:42] 'cache' refers to the downloaded cache of having run "apt-get update" [22:42] BerenBarahir: you want to install that .deb package? [22:42] I did what you said, daftykins, but the last command did not work [22:42] BerenBarahir: yes or no? [22:43] yes [22:43] Everything worked except the last command [22:43] BerenBarahir: then do: "sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" [22:43] thanks k1 [22:44] k1l: Are you on Unity? [22:44] netlar: yes [22:45] k1l: Have you successfully installed any additional lenses? [22:45] did not try [22:45] cool cool [22:46] Does the Nintendo 3DS really run Linux? Although it says citation needed, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming#Supported_hardware lists it among GP2X and Neo GeoX as a Linux-based console. [22:47] I got more errors and dependency problems [22:47] the last command did not work [22:47] BerenBarahir: !paste them, we dont see what you see [22:47] the problem is no one here knows how to install the google ppa version of Google Chrome [22:47] camtron: either in #ubuntu-offtopic or ask the 3ds community [22:49] BerenBarahir: the link that someone posted to you before seems pretty sta [22:49] raight forward did you try them http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome [22:50] But they told me the last command needed to be changed === zzz_Ridley is now known as Ridley5 [22:50] i dont know what BerenBarahir is doing there anyway? [22:50] french here? [22:50] !fr [22:50] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [22:51] non. [22:51] they told me the last command in the following 3 steps is wrong http://pastebin.com/vDPAtDwn [22:51] BerenBarahir: the HowTo is really really really all inclusiv. its just in the last command where you need to use your brain and set with the actual package name [22:53] these are the results of my last two commands....http://pastebin.com/mqJcrJhC [22:54] BerenBarahir: you could also just use the software installer after adding the PPA open up your software installer (Synaptic or whatever ) and then search for Chrome. [22:54] I have two monitors that are 1920x1080 however one is much smaller than the other. On the larger monitor, fonts are too large and on the smaller monitor fonts are too small. How can I set it so the fonts are readable on both monitors? [22:55] I don't know how to add the ppa [22:55] A lot of people here talked about adding the google ppa for chrome, but no one here knows how to do so, apparently [22:56] Mike9863: you can set the resolution for each monitor , settings > display [22:56] the people here know a lot more about the deb package than the ppa. I don't even know what a ppa is [22:56] all the commands I was given or linked up to use the deb package [22:57] BerenBarahir: the first couple commands add the ppa [22:57] yeah, but they say the last command is wrong [22:57] BerenBarahir: copy and paste the "wget...." and then the "sudo...." lines into a terminal. if no errors reported then either do the " sudo apt-get update" command in the terminal or open your software manager and refresh the sources list. after it has finished refreshing, search for chrome in the listings. once found install it via the software manager. [22:57] your rendition of it is [22:58] !ppa | BerenBarahir [22:58] BerenBarahir: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [22:58] package name means the package name, not the filename [22:58] BerenBarahir: what is your problem with following this "http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome" howto? [23:00] ok, so that means the above instructions from k1 all work, but instead of running the last command, I open up my software centre and look for Chrome? === sins-_h is now known as sins- [23:01] or, apt-cache search chrome [23:03] using the software centre sounds easier, because I would not know what to do if I found the package using the apt-cache search chrome command [23:03] honestly i don't understand why people pursue chrome as if it's like the second coming in browser form =| [23:04] BerenBarahir: the last command in your guide maybe ? [23:05] daftykins: neither do I and am miffed that firefox decided to pretty much adopt their layout. [23:05] BerenBarahir: you seem to much confused with the terminal and cant follow straight howtos using the terminal. i would suggest you to only use the software-center for now [23:06] squinty: daftykins same here [23:08] Ok, so daftykins was wrong about my 3 steps. I posted them here and he was apparently the only one who read them. He told me to change the last command, And I did. [23:08] no i wasn't [23:08] i said follow them, then run my command [23:08] then you suddenly started saying you had a .deb downloaded instead [23:09] BerenBarahir: you can find out for yourself by doing all but the final command, then run "apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" instead [23:09] BerenBarahir: well he meant you have to change to the actual package name which in this case is google-chrome-stable [23:10] BerenBarahir: in a terminal type or copy/paste the following apt search google-chrome see if you get anything returned [23:10] ah, forgive me i didn't recall putting in the .deb filename [23:10] truth be told i shouldn't really be assisting here just yet, i'm not long out of hospital :( [23:11] BerenBarahir: you should see google-chrome- either beta or stable or unstable [23:12] BerenBarahir: if you do see output similar to that then type or copy/paste the following sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable [23:13] BerenBarahir: if you don't see any of that output then your PPA hasn't been added correctly (if you had previously done the "sudo apt-get update" command listed on that web page [23:14] Boa noite galera, alguem fala portugues? [23:14] !portugal | joilson [23:14] BerenBarahir: you should be able to also do this via your Software manager or Synaptic package manager (which personally I prefer over the bling type software manager programs) [23:15] I got Muon Discovery [23:15] Software Centre [23:15] !pt | joi [23:15] joi: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [23:16] * Luyin uses apt-get [update | upgrade | dist-upgrade | remove | purge] ;) all I ever need [23:16] Luyin: apt-cache search is helpful too, also apt-get autoremove === romtamcloud is now known as Guest47804 [23:18] BerenBarahir: you can use the Software Center to install too. open it up and then check to make sure that the PPA has been added to the sources list. you can do that by clicking on the top panel and then Edit > Sources [23:19] I got a lot of errors and wrong packages installed now, so I think I need to reboot before I try anything else [23:19] Is there a known reason why firefox.com would say my browser is out-of-date, but Firefox doesn't think it is? [23:20] BerenBarahir: first check in the Software Center for the ppa entry under "Other Software" if it is not there you need to add it [23:20] skinux: Firefox on Ubuntu checks for updates via Ubuntu's repositories, I think [23:20] skinux: Basically, check for updates via the Update Manager [23:21] skinux: probably a newer version available that hasn't come into the repo's yet [23:21] skinux: If there aren't any, don't worry about it and just wait a couple of days till the Ubuntu devs test the new FF on Ubuntu [23:21] I"m using a live CD, so doing that will not be saved [23:21] Oh, that explains it. It seems Ubuntu repositories are always a version or two behind official software releases. [23:22] BerenBarahir: DVD or usb. if possible (if you can't do a full install) set up persistence on a usb stick to save settings and download files [23:22] theadmin: that's the beauty of Linux. If its downloaded through repository. An update updates all programs. Not just ubuntu operating system like windows does. [23:23] BerenBarahir: you could also do a full install on a usb stick (with sufficient capacity) [23:23] blkpower: Many things could be said to be the beauty of Linux ;) === blkpower is now known as proshotz [23:25] i have ubuntu 13.10 "saucy" how can i upgrade it// do i need to upgrade it ? [23:25] !eol | netameta follow the last link here [23:25] netameta follow the last link here: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:25] netameta: Yes, you do, it's EOL by now! You should hurry and update soon [23:25] netameta: sudo do-release-upgrade, and yes [23:25] oh yeah direct would be fine [23:25] dooooh, i really need to stop coming in here for a while XD [23:25] netameta: if its not broken don't fix it. [23:26] netameta: Also, I recommend staying on 14.04 because it's an LTS release (so you will have to upgrade less often) [23:26] proshotz: 13.10 is EOL. [23:26] proshotz: Could very well be "broken" [23:26] Wow, I got a 4 GB USB stick with Kubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso on it, would that work, squinty? [23:26] is it my old brain that can't find a refresh button in the Software Center or is it just missing? [23:27] daftykins thanks again, theadmin how can i update to 14.04 ? [23:27] netameta: Run the update manager and follow it's instructions, there should be a huge "Upgrade" button on the top [23:27] BerenBarahir: you could use that along with unetbootin to use the iso plus a persistence area === iShaggy is now known as iShaggy-Away [23:27] theadmin i dont have it on my machine i am ssh connected [23:28] BerenBarahir: always wanted wanted it to work. And it did sorta. But had problems upgrading while on USB. [23:28] BerenBarahir: 4 gig is too small to do a full install. 16 gig is what i use [23:28] squinty: i don't think there's a refresh button, but im intrigued by the file > sync between computers [23:28] seems cool pretty cool [23:29] eeee: :-) [23:29] theadmin, is it even possible throw terminal ? [23:29] *seems pretty cool [23:29] netameta: Ah right, then "sudo do-release-upgrade" [23:29] i see [23:29] well i will read the link first and see [23:29] thanks, theadmin, eeee and proshotz [23:29] how to copy an entire folder to a flash drive from the terminal? [23:30] wbgvewgbw: cp -r your_folder /media/your_flash_drive/ [23:30] wbgvewgbw: cp -r /path/to/folder /path/to/flashdrive [23:31] But my live CD probably only uses about 1GB, so why do I need more than 4 GB to run Kubuntu live off a USB stick? [23:31] Yes, but as I discover the "path"? [23:32] BerenBarahir: pendrivelinux.com and http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ for info on usb stick setups. unetbootin can be installed via Software Manager or grab a copy off the website for installing with Windows [23:32] wbgvewgbw: you should know the first path, the second is where ever the flash drive is mounted, if you used the button in nautilus it would be under /media/ [23:32] wbgvewgbw: Browse /media [23:32] what is used to create initrd (note: not initramfs) on the ubuntu installer/live dvd? 12.04 had cryptsetup inside it, now 14.04 does not, and i'd like to recreate it with cryptsetup and libraries installed on it. [23:32] BerenBarahir: you can run it. But my problem happened with upgrading a USB based Ubuntu. [23:32] BerenBarahir, you don't really need more than 4 gb to do the install, it will pretty much fill up the thumb drive though... so not very useful [23:33] that is, what program is used to create the /casper/initrd.lz contents on the installer ISO? === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [23:34] BerenBarahir: I am not sure the difference is. But a live CD put on a 1gb USB will work. But you want a full install onto a USB. [23:34] BerenBarahir: running a full install from a usb stick does have performance hits (ie slower access).. personally I would not be running Kubuntu from a usb stick. [23:36] Don't you need two USB sticks to install Ubuntu from the live USB to the target install usb [23:37] proshotz: that is one way to do it. [23:38] anyways... have to run. back later [23:38] squinty: what's the other way [23:39] does anyone know how the contents of the /casper/initrd.lz are determined when the installer live DVD is created? 14.04 is missing cryptsetup and i'd like to add that back. [23:40] proshotz: i guess you could dd an installation, another way would be to use virtualbox, and create a raw disk image file of the usb, load the iso in the vm, and install to the usb [23:40] proshotz: agreed with eeee, virtualbox with usb passthrough is good if you don't want to reboot into another install stick [23:41] My system broke, I can only access my files via the shell and must pass only one folder (very important to me) and then format. Can someone help me? [23:41] eeee: so any other way basically creates a live USB with persistent storage. [23:41] proshotz: no, it creates a standalone installation [23:41] as you'd install on a hdd [23:42] grub as a bootloader and everything [23:42] wbgvewgbw: you can use scp -r remote-machine:/home/wbgv/very/important important [23:42] I have a USB stick, but I have no idea how to copy the files over the shell. [23:42] eeee: I am talking about them windows apps that make a bootable USB. [23:42] Ah. [23:42] rufianw: Yes [23:42] I understood you had a remote shell. [23:42] Then disregard what I said. [23:43] mount the stick, copy and umount then. [23:43] eeee: like pendrive for example. [23:43] rufianw: How? That's the question. [23:44] wbgvewgbw: it should not be difficult if you search in Google, but anyway... [23:44] also don't copy the files into something non-persistant.. [23:44] You connect it, search the device name (e.g. sudo fdisk -l and search for a device with the same capacity, it should be something like /dev/sdb1) and then mount it to a folder [23:44] e.g. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [23:45] Then you can copy files with cp -r source destination [23:45] (where source and destination are the origin and destination folders) [23:45] Finally you unmount with umount /dev/sdb1 (that's not a typo) and get your pen. [23:46] rufianw: Yes /dev/sdb1 * [23:46] i'd like to customize the contents of /casper/initrd.lz on the installer DVD to include cryptsetup. it used to be there in 12.04 but is now missing in 14.04. [23:46] You can explore directories using cd directory to enter in a directory and ls to list files in the current directory [23:46] cd .. goes to the parent directory [23:47] is there a better place to ask my question than #ubuntu? [23:48] jcorgan: uh? Did they remove cryptsetup? Latest Ubuntu version support encryption in the default installers. [23:48] jcorgan: maybe a spinoff has it. [23:48] i'm not talking about the cryptsetup that can be installed as part of the regular destination filesystem [23:49] rufianw: For example, the command to copy, it would be: cp / home / important / media / pen? [23:49] the initrd.lz that gets booted into pre-installer used to have cryptsetup on it, now it doesn't [23:49] proshotz: interesting. a spinoff is some derivative distribution, or am i misunderstanding [23:49] wbgvewgbw: almost, spaces are important. Also, you need to use -r (recursive to copy directories) [23:49] cp -r /home/important /media/pen/ [23:50] rufianw: For example, the command to copy, it would be: cp /home/important/media/ pen? [23:50] see above ^ [23:50] wbgvewgbw: if you mounted the flash drive to /mnt, you have to cp to /mnt. [23:50] yes [23:50] cp -r /home/important/media/pen? [23:50] jcorgan: I guess. Like Mint. [23:50] wbgvewgbw: cp -r /home/important/media /mnt [23:50] ok [23:51] ^^ run that if you used mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt , earlier [23:51] jcorgan: so you can't read dm-crypt filesystems in Ubuntu live media? [23:51] ok, worth checking out, thanks. i'd still like to know how canonical creates their iso contents, though [23:51] rufianw: once you boot into the live media root filesystem, yes, you can read dm-crypt stuff [23:52] wbgvewgbw, you need to know the full path to the directory you are wanting to copy and also the folder you mounted your flash drive to. [23:52] but i'm talking before that [23:52] jcorgan: oh, so it is a module. [23:52] but you need it in the initramfs. [23:52] it's a binary and a couple of .so's in the *initrd* [23:52] which is not what is created by initramfs as far as i can tell [23:53] how logn does an update usually date ? [23:53] hello , can anyone recommend any decent laptop to tv streaming device for Ubuntu please ? [23:53] 13.10 - 14.04 [23:53] netameta: Depends on your network speed [23:53] if you look at the kernel command lines on the DVD they all have initrd=/casper/initrd.lz [23:53] netameta: If everything's downloaded, then about an hour [23:53] well its done downloading [23:53] bah an hor.. [23:53] Well... if you have an SSD, may go a lot faster [23:53] jcorgan: there are many Ubuntu spinoffs. Probably 10 or more. [23:53] started this in wrong time [23:54] netameta: You can keep using your machine while it's updating [23:54] I tried -r cp /home/important /mnt/pen and is taking, is he copying? [23:54] theadmin: I'm not sure that's a very good idea. [23:54] i need to go off, for a little bit, and i am afraid the session will time out if there will be any prompt [23:54] wbgvewgbw: yes. [23:54] netameta: Should have ran it under screen. [23:55] proshotz: hoping to avoid downloading and inspecting the live dvd isos for all those spinoffs, but it is a good idea that i may have to resort to, thanks [23:55] whats that? [23:55] netameta: A tool that allows you to retain terminal sessions even if you disconnect from SSH [23:55] wbgvewgbw, first of the -r needs to be after the cp and second do you know where the directory is that you want to copy? [23:55] netameta: Among other things [23:55] That only applies to remote sessions. [23:55] rufianw: He is on a remote session [23:55] Oh, boy. [23:55] theadmin, ah wow [23:55] thats good [23:55] Never do that again. [23:56] Actually, yeah, a remote update might be a bad idea in case something decides to börk up [23:56] Unlikely, but still [23:56] Which usually does in home Internet connections. [23:57] Could you please tell me if the following 4 steps would properly install Google Chrome onto Kubuntu 14.04? [23:57] http://pastebin.com/DJc8GvN5 [23:57] rufianw: Uh, the update doesn't really rely on an Internet connection. Once everything's downloaded you can unplug it [23:57] theadmin: but the ssh connection does. [23:57] rufianw: That is true. [23:57] Oh, i'm sorry. Actually I tried cp -r /home/important /mnt/pen [23:57] BerenBarahir: just download google chrome and run it. [23:58] And if it dies, the update may die too. [23:58] wbgvewgbw, ok, where is the directory you are trying to copy? [23:58] wbgvewgbw: that will copy the files to a folder called pen on the flash drive [23:58] how can I know if it's copying? [23:58] wbgvewgbw: after it's finished type cd /mnt/pen [23:58] wbgvewgbw: Is it hanging or is it back to the prompt? [23:58] wbgvewgbw: if no error returns, then it probably went through [23:59] wbgvewgbw: type cd /mnt/pen , then ls -la to see all files [23:59] ooh, i may have gotten lucky [23:59] BerenBarahir: don't make it more complicated. Just download it from google and run it. [23:59] How would a view a log of cron jobs already run? [23:59] wbgvewgbw: if you want to see all the files type find /mnt/pen in the terminal, it will list them all [23:59] BerenBarahir: it will install [23:59] i didn't think to look at the standard /boot/initrd.img* that gets installed on a normal system
