| jcorgan | but unpacking one shows that it has cryptsetup and the required lib/*.so files | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| jcorgan | i *may* just be able to copy those into place on the unpacked initrd.lz and then repack a new initrz.lz | 00:00 |
| spearhead | mattxtn, less /var/log/cron or tail /var/log/cron to only view the last few lines | 00:00 |
| wbgvewgbw | eeee: I can not, there is a line "_" flashing will not let me do anything, is this normal? | 00:01 |
| jcorgan | will do a happy dance if it turns out to be that easy but not holding out too much hope :) | 00:01 |
| mattxtn | thanks spearhead | 00:02 |

| wad | Hi guys. So I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on my laptop, which is currently set up for dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 13. It's using UEFI. It's asking me which device I want to install the bootloader onto, but I'm not sure what I should tell it. There is already on there, right? How do I tell where it is? | 00:07 |
| rufianw | xk: how come you cannot change them? | 00:07 |
| wad | I have sda1, 24GB, I have no idea what this is. Then there is sdb, which has a pile of partitions, most of them for Windows stuff. sdb8 is where Ubuntu is installed, whihc I want to overwrite. | 00:08 |
| rufianw | wad: tell it the default, usually /dev/sda | 00:08 |
| eeee | wad: leave the default one | 00:08 |
| wad | ok | 00:08 |
| eeee | wad: wait, how come you have | 00:08 |
| eeee | a bunch of disks ? | 00:09 |
| wad | I don't know what this 24GB thing is. | 00:09 |
| wad | There is only one hard drive in here, sdb. | 00:09 |
| rufianw | wad: maybe it's your pen. | 00:09 |
| wad | you mean the USB drive? That's sdc. | 00:09 |
| eeee | wad: is it? | 00:09 |
| xk | I somehow messed up with the unity-control-center , the system settings only have few icons left, got it back after reinstall the control center, but that's what happening now. | 00:09 |
| eeee | ok | 00:09 |
| xk | rufianw, any ideas? | 00:09 |
| eeee | wad: that seems kind of odd | 00:10 |
| wad | 8GB, I see that in the list. | 00:10 |
| rufianw | xk: if you messed your config, delete it and start from scratch. | 00:10 |
| wad | Let me get to a prompt, and see if I can figure out what this sda is all about. | 00:10 |
| xk | rufianw, you mean reinstall the whole system? | 00:10 |
| rufianw | xk: not necessarily. | 00:10 |
| rufianw | They are just files. | 00:10 |
| rufianw | Usually in ~/.config | 00:10 |
| rainbowwarrior | hi , what is the best device to stream from my pc to tv under ubuntu please ? | 00:11 |
| rufianw | Or ~/.local/share | 00:11 |
| xk | rufianw, can you be more specific please or any tips? | 00:11 |
| wad | How can I tell what kind of stuff is on a partition? | 00:11 |
| rufianw | You can search there for Unity-related things and peek a bit or delete the folders you think may be related to your problem. | 00:11 |
| wad | I can't mount it, I just tried. It said that sda1 doesn't have a valid filesystem. | 00:12 |
| * wad scratches his head | 00:12 | |
| rufianw | xk: Sorry, I cannot. | 00:12 |
| xk | rufianw, ok, thaks, I'll try. | 00:12 |
| rufianw | xk: Ah, in case you did not understood ~/.config means the .config folder in your home directory. You need to press Ctrl+H in the file browser to see files and folders starting with dot. | 00:13 |
| rufianw | He went away. | 00:13 |
| wad | Ooooh... it's some sort of SSD cache device, perhaps? | 00:13 |
| HideMe | I've got integrated video and a PCI Radeon card. I don't want the OS using the Radeon card. How do I uninstall the x.org AMD driver? | 00:14 |
| eeee | wad: what does sudo parted -l say about it? | 00:14 |
| * wad tries | 00:14 | |
| wad | Model: ATA LITEONIT LSS-24L (scsi) | 00:15 |
| wad | Disk /dev/sda: 24.0GB | 00:15 |
| wad | Okay, so I guess I don't want to put any kind of bootloaded on sda! | 00:16 |
| wad | s/bootloaded/bootloader/ | 00:16 |
| wad | I'll specify sdb then. | 00:16 |
| QuaxEros | xk: type "man unity" in your terminal. Look at the command "unity --reset" | 00:17 |

| eeee | usually you'd run dconf -reset -f /org/compiz and then setsid unity | 00:18 |
| eeee | to reset it | 00:18 |
| rufianw | What is setsid? | 00:18 |
| rufianw | setsid - run a program in a new session | 00:19 |
| QuaxEros | kx: see the answer of eeee above... | 00:19 |
| eeee | QuaxEros: he left :) | 00:19 |
| eeee | i think | 00:19 |
| rufianw | Yep. | 00:20 |

| rufianw | Anyway, I'll take that into account in case some day I wreck a GTK3 thing. | 00:20 |
| rufianw | On a side note, do Ubuntu bug reporting windows usually bug you? | 00:21 |
| rufianw | This has been an issue for me in last versions. | 00:21 |
| rufianw | They are quite annoying. | 00:22 |
| eeee | not really, you can remove them though, /etc/default/apport | 00:22 |
| spearhead | rufianw, yes I quite agree the bug reports definately bug me... | 00:22 |
| rufianw | Especially because there is something always which gets bugged. And the report wizard is not very good... | 00:23 |
| eeee | i just hit space | 00:23 |
| rufianw | But cancelling it does not delete the issue. You have two messages again the next reeboot. | 00:23 |
| rufianw | *reboot | 00:23 |
| rufianw | space? | 00:24 |
| eeee | the space bar | 00:24 |
| rufianw | How does that help with apport? | 00:24 |
| eeee | well, i filed a couple first ones | 00:25 |
| eeee | you mean, how does it help with apport by canceling them? | 00:26 |

| iampaul83 | any reason why a program would not start in boot up. This is a customer application that we developed. If i a a do /etc/init.d/program start it works i did the update-rc.d program and set the start and stop defaults | 00:59 |

| jacknjill | Anyone? | 01:00 |
| jprs | jacknjill: I found a pretty good guide by googling "install java 7 sun ubuntu" | 01:02 |
| jprs | you might try that | 01:02 |
| daftykins | it's oracle, not sun - has been for years | 01:02 |

| rainbowwarrior | I just want to see if there is another than the one I used, as my java only seems to half work | 01:05 |

| sydney | Guest48671: No | 02:45 |
| kcj[work] | sydney, Look at 15.455 and 16.758 | 02:45 |
| kcj[work] | sydney, I have no idea why it derails at 16.758. | 02:46 |
| Guest48671 | yeats: my bios does pick it up, but when Ubuntu tries to use the memory it gets kernel panic | 02:46 |

| Guest48671 | sydney: nope. I'll try that! | 02:52 |

| Geo | conceptually, if I'm running a program via an init.d script (start, stop, etc) do I want or not want daemonizing-code as part of that program? | 02:57 |

| somsip | jevan: you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, but it's not really an #ubuntu support issue so the question doesn't belong here | 03:09 |
| jevan | somsip, ok, just asking around because there doesn't seem to be an irc dedicated to it. | 03:11 |
| somsip | jevan: yeah - I was surprised about that. Even more surprised that #python can't help. Try the offtopic channel, just in case. | 03:11 |

| phunyguy | somsip: they can ask there, but please don't send them there as a catch-all..... | 03:18 |

| somsip | phunyguy: not sure how to word that in a way that doesn't sound like a suggestion then. I'll just get them to clarify the full question here without assuming it is not directly ubuntu-support related | 03:20 |
| phunyguy | somsip: it is perfectly OK to not answer a support question if you don't know the answer. ;) | 03:21 |
| IdleOne | somsip: it is a little tough to judge sometimes. Try keeping in mind that although many of the users in -offtopic are very knowledgeable, they are in -offtopic because they don't feel like doing support and often times will be less than helpful | 03:22 |

| somsip | Geo: (sorry - you got lost in the mix) AIUI, ubuntu uses upstart, end of story. So that's what you're using if you have a vanilla install. | 03:24 |
| emoji | how fix -- > persian subtitle in mplayer disjointed? | 03:26 |
| Geo | ok | 03:27 |
| laurinop | h | 03:27 |
| BerenBarahir | Does this command mount any hard drives? ...sudo mount -o remount / | 03:28 |
| Geo | I currently only know of how to do large, bulky init.d scripts. I'm reading that there is a way to do just service.conf files, and have upstart run those from there? Does that sound right? | 03:28 |
| somsip | Geo: have you followed that link in the factoid I sent initially? I think it takes you to some information about this eventually | 03:29 |
| Geo | I'm reading that and other pages... just trying to condense what I'm reading, versus what I've done previously | 03:30 |
| somsip | Geo: then I'll leave it to an upstart expert to reply | 03:30 |

| Geo | but this all comes back to my previous question- what am I using? | 03:33 |
| Geo | service foo start | 03:33 |
| Geo | start foo | 03:33 |
| Geo | whats the difference? | 03:33 |
| Geo | start foo is clearly upstart, what is service start foo? | 03:33 |

| BerenBarahir | and the PC I was using was old. This is a newer and faster PC, so I figure Netflix will run faster | 04:46 |
| cablop | what are the minimal requirements of ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| Ben64 | BerenBarahir: you'll have much more success if you do things on your actual os | 04:47 |
| BerenBarahir | this PC uses NVIDIA graphics, so Netlfix should run smoother | 04:47 |
| Ben64 | !requirements | cablop | 04:47 |
| ubottu | cablop: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 04:47 |
| mystogan | cfhowlett, sudo apt-get install xfce4 kd3 lxde? | 04:47 |
| cfhowlett | mystogan, that command will install those 4 desktop enviroments (DE). then you can test to see if you have a preference other than unity | 04:48 |
| BerenBarahir | Netflix works on WIndows XP, but it's not secure. I want to run it using ubuntu instead | 04:48 |
| mystogan | cfhowlett, after testing will i be able to uninstall those which i dont want? | 04:49 |

| ubottu | finrod,: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 05:35 |
| kudakwashe | CarlFK: I mean adding 197.155.77.2 zw.archive.ubuntu.com to /etc/hosts | 05:36 |
| kudakwashe | how did that fix it | 05:36 |
| Church | finrod: also sometimes it's just X11/gui that frozen, and you sometimes can switch to console then, login there and reboot from there | 05:36 |
| CarlFK | kudakwashe: some how the dns server you are using isn't serving an IP for zw.archive.ubuntu.com - typically your ISP's dhcp assigns a dns server to you, which may be your router/gateway if you are using one | 05:37 |
| Church | finrod: eg. try ctrl+alt+f1(f2,f3.. back to X11 is usually +f7 or f8) | 05:37 |

| Caitanya | now it creates files owner:irk | 06:00 |
| Caitanya | and admin group users dont have access to those files then | 06:00 |
| somsip | Caitanya: if it was one specific directory, you could 'chmod g+s {directory}' then anything created in there has the same group as the directory that has been chmodded. That's awkward to explain. Try it in a test dir and see if it's what you want. You might need chmod -R to do all subdirs too | 06:01 |

| explodes | hey. installing ubuntu on a fresh PC, new HDD. | 06:06 |
| explodes | Do I need to do an "OEM install" ? | 06:07 |
| somsip | !girl | rainbowwarrior (show some maturity please) | 06:07 |
| ubottu | rainbowwarrior (show some maturity please): Girls exist on the internet. See http://www.escapistmagazine.com/print/17/27 | http://www.xkcd.com/322/ | For more interesting reading: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ | 06:07 |
| explodes | Because a regular install says something about how no installable medium was found | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | explodes, OEM install is if you are preparing the computer for another user, i.e. you are the OEM in question. just install as a normal user. | 06:07 |
| explodes | my bios detects my disk but | 06:07 |
| explodes | ubuntu doesn't seem to find the drive | 06:07 |
| explodes | even though it gets listed under /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST093409203[whatever] | 06:08 |
| cfhowlett | explodes, I'm guessing you might need to configure drivers for the new HDD | 06:08 |
| explodes | I have never had to do that, where could I read about that | 06:08 |
| cfhowlett | explodes, try this: boot your live ubuntu and run gparted to prep the HDD | 06:08 |

| ChaseTrains | different repo, mainly, and another community. | 06:52 |
| talin | ChaseTrains: repo for binary packages? | 06:52 |
| ChaseTrains | And Unity desktop. The rest are details. | 06:52 |
| ChaseTrains | talin: yes. Debian gets them from another server. | 06:53 |
| ChaseTrains | Ubuntu have their own server. | 06:53 |
| talin | ChaseTrains: aah, okay. thank you :) | 06:53 |

| talin | ChaseTrains: i see | 06:53 |
| ChaseTrains | so another answer is politics too. | 06:53 |

| ChaseTrains | since they decide what's on their repo (versions.. they want them all to fit with your current ubuntu install). | 06:54 |

| ChaseTrains | and as with all distros: they simply differ on some stuff. | 06:55 |

| dandre | somsip: so you need to install two versions of svn? | 07:33 |

| viktor89 | hey guys. Any recommendations on a backup/restore script/software for a webserver? | 07:35 |
| somsip | vurma: so back to where we started. Explain how you want it to work | 07:36 |
| somsip | viktor89: data only, or from scratch (all packages, etc)? | 07:36 |
| Fuchs | vurma: advanced window managers like kwin or fluxbox can do it, for others you might be able to use devilspie or script it with wmctrl | 07:36 |
| viktor89 | somsip, i think data only is enough. What I usually want is to restore to a previous version of a website configureation | 07:36 |
| vurma | somsip, i want to be able to press a keystroke and make that switch from one specific program to another, for example between emacs and terminator | 07:37 |
| viktor89 | but I should have backup of the whole shibang too, shouldn't I? | 07:37 |
| viktor89 | it's for a high priority production server | 07:37 |
| somsip | vurma: with one key. I don't think that is going to happen unless you are mapping F keys which may not be a good idea. | 07:37 |
| viktor89 | it is debian, but I figured it's not that far from ubuntu, that I could ask in here | 07:37 |
| vurma | Fuchs, would you recommend any of those too over compiz? I havent updated myself on window managers for quite a while ^^ | 07:37 |
| hawa | Fuchs, what i am trying to do is install oracle jdk from a ppa. so there is no deb file. | 07:37 |
| vurma | somsip, Doesnt have to be one key. As i said: press a "keystroke". | 07:38 |
| somsip | viktor89: I'd suggest something like chef/puppet/salt. My preference is ansible. Build a script that rebuilds your server from scratch. But you will need offline backups or web apps or DB data too. | 07:38 |
| viktor89 | yea, will take some time | 07:38 |
| Fuchs | vurma: compiz might be able to do it, check ccsm. If not: write a script with wmctrl, that should work | 07:38 |
| somsip | vurma: then stroke the ALT key, and while that was is stroked, stroke TAB too. Ignored... | 07:38 |
| viktor89 | might hire somebody in for the task | 07:38 |
| vurma | Perhaps its an issue of me sticking with compiz when there are better window managers ^^ | 07:38 |
| viktor89 | thanks for the suggestions somsip. Do you have some good reads on a backup/restore server-structure I can read up on? | 07:39 |

| hawa | /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure | 07:40 |
| somsip | viktor89: yeah - took me about a week per server. But worth doing IMHO, especially for a production server. No reads as such. I just piece together things from research I do | 07:40 |

| Fuchs | vurma: set a specific window title, write a script to switch to that and the other, bind that script to a key, | 07:40 |
| explodes | The defaults seem to have mixed values | 07:40 |
| jponc_ | xit | 07:41 |
| viktor89 | thought there might be some best practice things on it. But the server is of high priority so I should probably expect a month or more in setup for htis :/ | 07:41 |
| somsip | vurma: ...a key that has no use in the application you wish to swicth from... | 07:41 |
| Fuchs | There should be examples online, i only have my phone currently, which is a bit meh | 07:41 |
| vurma | Fuchs, i didnt know one could script for wmctrl ^^ | 07:42 |
| vurma | somsip, obviously, yes. | 07:42 |
| sunshine_50 | how are u | 07:42 |
| Fuchs | vurma: well, just a bash script using it | 07:43 |
| sunshine_50 | is there honest friend | 07:43 |
| viktor89 | ansible is deployment etc. too, somsip? | 07:43 |
| somsip | vurma: I'm intrigued. Which single keystroke will you use? | 07:43 |
| vurma | Fuchs, awesome. | 07:43 |
| Fuchs | Might need some grep magic to get the id of the window to activate, but certainly feasible | 07:43 |
| sunshine_50 | salam | 07:44 |
| somsip | viktor89: can be. it's just a wrapper for avoiding lots of bash scripts. Works over ssh. Simple and standalone | 07:44 |
| Fuchs | Or just put these apps on dedicated workspaces and use the shortcuts for those, | 07:44 |
| Fuchs | Compiz can do that ootb | 07:44 |
| viktor89 | is it opensource ? | 07:45 |
| somsip | viktor89: yes. Time to check the website rather than asking me things like that though | 07:46 |
| vurma | somsip, I havent used up any of the convenient ones that involve the function keys, for example. | 07:46 |
| viktor89 | hahah, yea sorry somsip :) | 07:46 |
| somsip | vurma: fair enough. Hope you get it sorted, but seems complex when a standard shortcut exists. Your system though :) | 07:47 |
| viktor89 | can you recommend a good free alternative to ansible, somsip? Or would that just be one of those other ones you mentioned? | 07:48 |
| somsip | viktor89: those other ones I mentioned | 07:48 |
| viktor89 | ok, thanks :) | 07:48 |
| vurma | somsip, havent explored what bash+wmctrl can do for me yet, so that will be a fun Sunday afternoon with a can of coffee. ^^ | 07:48 |
| sunshine_50 | hhhhhhh | 07:54 |

| Farioko | Hey, how do I exclude the dvd rom from lsblk? I have the -e option but what needs to be the value of that? | 07:56 |
| OerHeks | Farioko, see man lsblk : Note that RAM disks (major=1) are excluded by default. | 07:59 |
| Farioko | OerHeks: I checked the man page, nothing in there says what needs to be the value? | 08:00 |
| OerHeks | Farioko, no need to exclude, as i read it. | 08:00 |
| Farioko | OerHeks: What? It shows me the dvd burner, I don't want that. | 08:01 |
| Farioko | OerHeks: I'm writing a script where the user can pick a harddrive | 08:01 |
| Farioko | OerHeks: Any idea? :) | 08:06 |

| BQ | can I skip language packs when installing ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | BQ, of course. | 08:13 |
| bcvery1 | My crontab has this line: "0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/bin/python ~/.i3/i3bg.py" This works when run in terminal, but is not running from the crontab | 08:13 |
| somsip | bcvery1: ful path required to .i3? | 08:14 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, I'll give that a try now | 08:14 |
| BQ | cfhowlett: how do i install 3 languages only? right now it seems it install all languages forever | 08:15 |
| somsip | bcvery1: FWIW */15 is just a bit neater :) | 08:15 |
| ObrienDave | BQ they can be selected in Synaptic after install | 08:16 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Good tip, thanks | 08:16 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Unfortunately the full path has not helped | 08:16 |
| BQ | ObrienDave: can I choose pre-install? | 08:16 |
| somsip | bcvery1: anything in i3bg.py that is using relative paths? | 08:17 |
| somsip | bcvery1: not relative...ENV-based paths | 08:17 |
| BQ | ObrienDave: when do I have to install all languages if not needed | 08:17 |
| ObrienDave | BQ, no. you get all or none | 08:17 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Nope, one path, and it's full | 08:17 |
| somsip | bcvery1: anything helpful in /avr/log/syslog? | 08:18 |
| somsip | *var | 08:18 |
| BQ | This is non-sense. it took just forever to install all of them. | 08:18 |
| ObrienDave | BQ, install your native language first. select the others after using synaptic or your favorite D/L manager | 08:18 |
| BQ | plus I cannot skip them during installation. | 08:18 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Ah! Maybe: '(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)' | 08:19 |
| === audreeliss is now known as Guest73095 | ||
| somsip | bcvery1: that's just telling you there was an error. So the cronjob is firing | 08:19 |
| cfhowlett | BQ, they won't install if you don't select ... | 08:19 |
| BQ | this is definitely not right. | 08:19 |
| somsip | bcvery1: change the cronjob to >/tmp/cron_error.txt or something | 08:19 |
| ObrienDave | BQ, it's free ;P | 08:20 |
| cfhowlett | BQ, install 1 and add the additional languages is post-processing. | 08:20 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Change, or append the command? | 08:20 |
| somsip | bcvery1: append that so you get some output that might tell you the error | 08:20 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, File created, is empty | 08:21 |
| somsip | bcvery1: oooer. Can you paste the content of i3bg.py? | 08:22 |
| BQ | cfhowlett: the default is insall all which is not right. | 08:22 |
| BQ | cfhowlett: plus it installs from internet which takes too long. | 08:23 |
| cfhowlett | bq the default IS NOT too install all! | 08:23 |
| cfhowlett | bq it will only install all if you select install all. | 08:23 |
| BQ | cfhowlett: I didn't select anything | 08:24 |
| cfhowlett | bq restart your installation. pay close attention. | 08:24 |
| somsip | bcvery1: sorry - typo. Append " 2> /tmp/cron_error" instead | 08:24 |
| BQ | cfhowlett: how to stop and restart | 08:25 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8325465 | 08:25 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Sure, will do that now | 08:25 |
| BQ | no buttons allow me to do that | 08:25 |
| somsip | bcvery1: a paste of i3bg.py, not your cronfile :) | 08:26 |
| BQ | there is a SKIP button previously but I clicked it disappeared and it does not work | 08:27 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, Ooops, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8325473 | 08:27 |
| BQ | it just keeps downloading. | 08:28 |
| somsip | bcvery1: and feh probably needs full path too | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | BQ, reboot | 08:28 |
| bcvery1 | somsip, cat /tmp/crontab_error: feh ERROR: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah? | 08:28 |
| somsip | bcvery1: but it's not running under X. | 08:29 |
| somsip | bcvery1: not ubuntu, but this might help you as it has random background and feh cronjobs on it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/feh#Random_background_image | 08:30 |
| somsip | bcvery1: though it may be as easy as making it "DISPLAY=:0.0 feh..." in the python script | 08:30 |

| OnkelTem | Apache + mod_fastcgi = headers doesn't work: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache-mod-fastcgi/+bug/1368308 Please confirm if you can reproduce | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1368308 in libapache-mod-fastcgi (Ubuntu) "Apache Headers could not be set" [Undecided,New] | 10:02 |
| ikonia | are you talking about host headers ? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | as in apache host headers | 10:03 |
| OnkelTem | ikonia: it is about headers module which sets response headers. But in conjunction with mod_fastcgi it can't set ANY header | 10:04 |
| ikonia | the headers module ? | 10:05 |
| ikonia | what headers module ? | 10:05 |
| OnkelTem | apache ikonia, apache | 10:05 |
| ikonia | ah mod_headers you mean | 10:05 |
| OnkelTem | yep | 10:05 |
| ikonia | so host headers | 10:06 |
| ikonia | host headers works fine on their own, I don't see why fcgi would change that | 10:06 |
| OnkelTem | ikonia: me either, but this is what happens on my two separate machines, both 12.04, but one - desktop and another - server | 10:08 |
| OnkelTem | ikonia: if a request is processed by mod_fastcgi, then settings "Header set" makes nothing | 10:08 |
| ikonia | doesn't that depend | 10:08 |
| dude | :q | 10:08 |
| === dude is now known as Guest70541 | ||
| ikonia | eg: if you're using host headers you have to tell it to use fcgi in the virtual server config or it will just ignore hosst headers and use the "root" / "non virtual" site that fcgi is loaded into | 10:09 |

| ObrienDave | amae, not sure. i'm on Xubuntu and like to use VLC for media | 10:15 |
| tirengarfio | after upgrading, when I start ubuntu I can see the login but I can not logged in since the keyboard and the mouse doesn't work, what can I do? | 10:15 |
| amae | ObrienDave, is that full screen in any movie or can strecth the image to full screen? | 10:15 |
| ObrienDave | amae, both :) | 10:15 |
| amae | ObrienDave, thank you so much ;o | 10:16 |
| tirengarfio | I would like to retrieve some data at least, any way to access to data on hard disk? | 10:16 |
| AlexPortable | ActionParsnip: huh, how so/ | 10:16 |
| AlexPortable | so they take up disk space? | 10:16 |
| amae | ObrienDave, i almost forgot do i need firewall in ubuntu 14.04? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: no, the data is only stored once but the dta has 2 pointers to it. The file will exist as long as there is at least on e hard link to it | 10:18 |
| ObrienDave | amae, yes and no. there is a software version. UFW iirc | 10:18 |
| tirengarfio | any help? as I say before when I start ubuntu I can see the login but I can not logged in since the keyboard and the mouse doesn't work, what can I do? | 10:18 |
| amae | ObrienDave, ok thanks.. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tirengarfio: if you unplug and plug in the keyboard, does it come to life? | 10:19 |
| tirengarfio | ActionParsnip: no | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tirengarfio: tried a different USB port, or USB keyboard? | 10:19 |
| tirengarfio | ok, wait | 10:19 |
| ObrienDave | amae, are you behind a router? | 10:19 |
| AlexPortable | ActionParsnip: i don't get it | 10:19 |
| AlexPortable | so symlink is like a shortcut | 10:20 |
| AlexPortable | but what is hardlink then? | 10:20 |
| ObrienDave | pointer | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: yes but if the last hard link is deleted, the symlink will show as 'broken' | 10:20 |
| amae | ObrienDave, what do you mean? | 10:20 |
| amae | ObrienDave, near at my router? | 10:20 |
| ObrienDave | amae, what is between you and the internet? | 10:20 |
| AlexPortable | ah | 10:20 |
| tirengarfio | ActionParsnip: it doesn't work either | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: so, if you make a file, then make a hard link to the file, then delete the file you first made, the hard link will not be broken | 10:21 |
| jpds | OnkelTem: https://serverfault.com/questions/383011/mod-headers-not-sending-headers-when-file-is-php | 10:21 |
| amae | ObrienDave, im using wifi | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: think of yur files as a hard link to data on the drive itself | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: 1 file, 1 link | 10:21 |
| ObrienDave | amae, but there is a router between your computer ant the world, yes? | 10:21 |
| ObrienDave | *and | 10:21 |
| amae | ObrienDave, hehehe yes.. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | tirengarfio: is the USB enabled in BIOS? | 10:22 |
| === BQ_ is now known as BQ | ||
| ActionParsnip | tirengarfio: you could also try setting the USB to legacy mode, to test | 10:22 |
| amae | ObrienDave, why? is there a problem for that? | 10:22 |
| tirengarfio | ActionParsnip: I didn't touch bios at all, but I will check | 10:22 |
| ObrienDave | amae, then your router should act as a firewall | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: hard links must be on the same physical drive, wheras symbolic links can traverse drives | 10:22 |
| amae | ObrienDave, ah..ok its a service provider is that ok? | 10:23 |
| AlexPortable | ok | 10:23 |
| ObrienDave | amae, you are STILL connected to the router? | 10:23 |
| OnkelTem | jpds: no the case, I know how Header set work ;-) | 10:24 |
| amae | ObrienDave, yes im still connected.. | 10:24 |
| AlexPortable | so hardlink costs more space? | 10:24 |
| amae | ObrienDave, do i need to change to wired connection? | 10:24 |
| gavin__ | hello everyone | 10:24 |
| ObrienDave | amae, nooooo, you're sitting at your computer, there is a wi-fi connection to the outside world, that connection SHOULD be like a firewall | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: the initial fie will use the space, the links to it cost nothing | 10:25 |
| mahdi_ja | hi all | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexPortable: but, if you ask the link what size it is, it will report the thing linked to. Just like all the files on your system do now | 10:25 |
| amae | ObrienDave, ah... i get it :0 | 10:26 |
| Delta706 | is it worth reporting bugs in opera to the developers? | 10:26 |
| mahdi_ja | i have interl corei5 cpu laptop which version of ubuntu is useful for me and there is 64 bit version for interl cpu | 10:26 |
| ObrienDave | amae, the point is, your connection to the outside world needs to be setup as a firewall. if so, you don't need one on your computer. it can't hurt, but not necessary | 10:26 |
| amae | ObrienDave, you mean i dont need a firewall ryt? | 10:27 |
| mahdi_ja | i have intel corei5 cpu laptop which version of ubuntu is useful for me and there is 64 bit version for intel cpu | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi_ja: the amd64 will work on your Intel | 10:27 |
| amae | ObrienDave, if im going to the outside world and then i will need the firewall | 10:28 |
| ObrienDave | amae, if your router is setup properly, no. if you take your computer elsewhere, yes you need it | 10:28 |
| mahdi_ja | ActionParsnip, i am fedora user and kde desktop i download ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso can i install kde desktop on this | 10:28 |
| Wandip | Hello everyone, I have a huge problem with the sound on my Ubuntu atm, After install it chose the HDMI by default, and now ive gotten the speakers to work, but for some reason it cant find the headset, Wich is weird, Also the mic is Sparkling like hell, So im thinking its something with the chipset drivers. Anyone know anything about this? | 10:29 |
| amae | ObrienDave, uhmmm...ok nw i know the purpose of the firewall | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi_ja: if you download kubuntu instead, you will get KDE instead of Gnome which is default in Ubuntu | 10:30 |
| AlexPortable | ah | 10:30 |
| amae | ObrienDave, thanks i learn a lot from you... :0 | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi_ja: less bloat in the installed OS, you can install KDE in Ubuntu if you want but its a bit of a waste imho | 10:30 |
| ObrienDave | amae, i'm old. thanks, i do try :) | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Wandip: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 10:31 |

| user123 | hello guys, I have a little problem with resolv.conf and network-manager. Currently resolv.conf is showing 127.0.0.1 as nameserver (cause of dnsmasq usage probably). So I disabled dnsmasq by commenting the line on the nm configuration file, restarted nm but resolv.conf is still showing 127.0.0.1 instead of "real" dns servers. How can I solve? thank you very much | 10:33 |

| frosch | Hi! Is it possible to completely deactivate key stroke caputuring by unity? I'm using Intellij and most of the keyboard shortcuts interfer with Unity. I was using IceWM before which offers the possibility to press a key (ScrollLock) which deactivates keyboard capturing so that the app always gets the key. | 10:45 |
| amae | ObrienDave, how to install essentials in terminal | 10:45 |
| Delta706 | I have used dnsmasq myself and HUP works | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | aoa, plug in, set samsung usb mode to storage or camera. OR go the easy way and just use airdroid | 10:46 |
| darklessness | amae: what do u exactly want to install.. is it a gui? | 10:46 |
| Delta706 | frosch: you can redefine the keyboard shortcuts | 10:46 |
| ObrienDave | amae, what essentials? | 10:46 |
| amae | ObrienDave, i mean vlc.. | 10:47 |
| Wandip | bazhand, i honestly dont know why your so mad, | 10:47 |

| ObrienDave | amae, sudo apt-get install vlc | 10:47 |
| frosch | Delta706: so there is no easy way to deactivate all (temporary), right? | 10:47 |
| darklessness | theadmin: amae use aptitude search <package> first | 10:47 |
| theadmin | Aptitude isn't installed by default is it | 10:47 |
| theadmin | Use apt-cache | 10:47 |
| Delta706 | user123: you want the process to be running. HUP just tells it to reread the config file which is what you want, right? | 10:48 |
| amae | thanks guys :o | 10:48 |
| ObrienDave | amae, you might also need, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-rectricted-extras | 10:48 |
| aoa | i use airdroid for transfer 2.2 gb mkv file but it very slow speed . i try cable connect but ubuntu / kubuntu recognize as camera even i select mtp mode on phone | 10:48 |

| nodejsnoob | ah | 11:05 |
| cfhowlett | nodejsnoob, "no longer supported" = upgrade to a supported version. | 11:05 |

| niceman | i have a weird problem. in my Terminal, sometimes it just closes itself after i try to execute a command | 11:26 |
| niceman | for example | 11:26 |

| niceman | ls -a | 11:26 |
| niceman | and it works | 11:26 |
| niceman | and then i do again | 11:26 |

| foldart | !enter | 11:27 |
| InsaneReality | Luyin: It was an update for something that I was going to uninstall in a day or 2, so that's why I didn't want to update it | 11:27 |

| hufnpuf | Id like some help diagnosing my issue with rutorrent/jquery/gninx | 11:28 |
| niceman | one line: i have a weird problem. in my Terminal, sometimes it just closes itself after i try to execute a command. for example, im doing "ls -a" and it works fine. and then i'm doing "ls -a" again and it get closed. | 11:28 |
| niceman | :) | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | InsaneReality, so, does not hurt to update anyway | 11:28 |
| foldart | ObrienDave: It's been a while. Not sure what's there. :-) | 11:28 |
| InsaneReality | theadmin: I don't think anything I am selecting is dependent on what I have not selected, but I understand your point | 11:28 |
| geirha | Istalantar: Did you figure out how dircolors work? had to go away right after I answered, so I didn't get a chance to add a follow-up explanation | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | foldart, caught all of us by surprise a few weeks ago also :) | 11:29 |
| InsaneReality | ObrienDave: Yes it does, since I am on a limited data plan atm | 11:29 |
| ObrienDave | InsaneReality, ok, gotcha | 11:29 |
| smart_developer | eeee: Thanks! | 11:29 |
| === Mike_______ is now known as Mike__ | ||
| Istalantar | theadmin: i followed that guide you posted about lscolors, it works perfectly fine, but i have a question: when i add those line at the bottom of .bashrc and after that type 'echo $LS_COLORS' in terminal it only gives me one thing i added in .bashrc .. how can the terminal still have the other colors right, if they arent in this Variable anymore? | 11:30 |
| theadmin | Istalantar: They are probably defined via /etc/environment or some similar thing | 11:30 |
| Istalantar | geirha: i followed the guide from theadmin, and edited .bashrc | 11:30 |
| geirha | Istalantar: Ok, the dircolors approach is "easier". | 11:30 |
| InsaneReality | It's just something that should not happen, like if I am not selecting an update, don't install it. Otherwise why is there an option to select them anyway | 11:31 |
| niceman | any one got an idea? :( | 11:31 |
| Istalantar | geirha: does the dircolors thing set it for every user at once .. because the .bashrc approch i would have to change it for every user? | 11:32 |
| geirha | Istalantar: ''dircolors -p > ~/.dircolors'' this writes the default colors in a more human readable fashion to ~/.dircolors. You edit that file to change the colors you want, and it gets parsed and turned into an LS_COLORS variable by the default ~/.bashrc | 11:32 |
| geirha | Istalantar: So you'd have to remove the manual LS_COLORS variable you added yourself | 11:33 |
| geirha | Istalantar: Both only changes it for one user | 11:33 |
| Istalantar | geirha: okay, thanks | 11:33 |
| InsaneReality | Okay, anyway I tried again, and it seems third time was the charm, and it only updated the ones I selected. Thanks for trying to help guys :) | 11:33 |
| geirha | Istalantar: If you want all new users to use your changed colors as default, you can copy the resulting .dircolors file to /etc/skel/ | 11:34 |

| BQ_ | Daekdroom: does upgrade cross major ubuntu versions? | 14:06 |
| Caramoan | cfhowlett, ok i try thanks | 14:06 |
| Daekdroom | BQ_, it doesn't upgrade to a different Ubuntu version (like from 13.10 to 14.04), no. Neither does apt-get dist-upgrade. As for the errors you see, I'm not sure of why it happens. | 14:07 |

| hufnpuf | My rutorrent | 14:24 |
| BQ_ | Daekdroom: is the update manager updating in background, prompt me every morning? | 14:24 |
| Daekdroom | BQ_, well, it should be faster mostly because you're sure you're keeping your configuration and all the apps you installed by yourself. Regardless, it's recommended you make a backup before upgrading to a new ubuntu version. | 14:24 |

| hufnpuf | The one in the repos is very old | 14:25 |
| ikonia | I walked through this with someone a few weeks ago | 14:25 |
| ikonia | hufnpuf: you've got the tar file then I guess | 14:25 |
| hufnpuf | Yes | 14:25 |
| Daekdroom | BQ_, if it prompts you every morning, yes it should be doing the apt-get update job. | 14:25 |
| ikonia | yeah, I worked through this with someone a good few weeks ago | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | hufnpuf, suggest you use a torrent from the repos. 3rd party stuff not supported here. ask rutorrent for guidance. | 14:25 |
| ikonia | it won't "just work" | 14:25 |
| hufnpuf | Its not in the repos and its the only app that does what i need | 14:26 |
| ikonia | isn't deluge capable of the same thing ? | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | hufnpuf, then you should talk to them | 14:26 |
| BQ_ | Daekdroom: that is kind of annoying. can it set silently or update every week unless I need to update manually? | 14:26 |
| hufnpuf | Ikonia no. The plugins give more granular control in rutorrent | 14:27 |
| ikonia | I don't believe thats true | 14:27 |
| ikonia | I've seen pretty specific control in deluge | 14:27 |
| ikonia | down to the individual torrent level | 14:27 |
| ikonia | but if you like it better, that's your call | 14:27 |
| ikonia | but it doesn't just "work" on 14.04 | 14:27 |
| cfhowlett | hufnpuf, support options: https://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/ | 14:29 |
| s2013 | im trying to free some space in my hd.. can id elete stuff in the .cache folder? | 14:29 |
| cfhowlett | s2013, yes. sudo apt-get clean | 14:29 |
| BQ_ | Daekdroom: so basically ubuntu is not rolling release, unlike gento or arch linux | 14:29 |
| cfhowlett | s2013, and sudo apt-get autoremove | 14:29 |
| hufnpuf | Ive already posted my issue on the rutorrent forums. No luck. Also, this happened after an ubuntu update. They are gonna tell me its an ubuntu issue | 14:30 |
| ikonia | BQ_: the release process is changing | 14:30 |
| Daekdroom | BQ_, Yes. Through the Update Manager you can access its settings. In the "Upgrades" tab (which should come up automatically, I think), you can set it to search for updates daily, every two days, weekly, bi-weekly or never. | 14:30 |
| s2013 | cfhowlett, do you know how to add more hd space if im on vmware | 14:30 |
| Daekdroom | (and no, it's not rolling-release) | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | s2013, I don't know vmware. sorry. | 14:30 |
| s2013 | i ran the apt-get clean and it only freed up like 20 mbs | 14:30 |
| s2013 | but cache syas its around 322mb | 14:31 |
| s2013 | actually i dont think it freed up anything | 14:31 |

| cfhowlett | s2013, you dual boot? you can re-allocate space with gparted | 14:38 |
| s2013 | no i use vmware | 14:38 |
| cfhowlett | s2013, ah! right. | 14:39 |

| mohank | hi all. Some help from power users... I'm upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 via update manager, but it seems stuck. The window is responsive, but has been at the same status for quite long now. it says "10 minutes remaining" in the "installing the upgrade" tab. The status which is shown is "Configuring mplayer thumbs" | 14:41 |
| mohank | the last update on the terminal was "Downloading Dropbox... 100%" | 14:42 |
| mohank | is there something I can do? Or should I abort the upgrade? | 14:43 |
| blackangelpr | mohank, until i know upgrade goes from 11 -12 and so on its better to do fresh install you can back up then fresh install and restore your doc, photos etc etc etc | 14:44 |
| blackangelpr | mohank, so from 10.04 -> 12.04 quite lots of upgrades :p | 14:45 |
| mohank | blackangelpr: yeah... | 14:45 |
| mohank | blackangelpr: I liked 10.04, and am running awesome window manager, so the changes to the UI didn't affect me much | 14:46 |
| blackangelpr | mohank, also you have 14.04 its LTS works perfectly no need to stay on 12.04 | 14:46 |
| blackangelpr | i see | 14:46 |
| mohank | blackangelpr: yes, I was upgrading to 12.04 en route to 14.04 | 14:46 |
| mohank | blackangelpr: any ideas on if there's anything I can do to nudge the upgrade along? It's been running for close to two hours now, and it's almost done. It's a bummer that it's stuck now... | 14:47 |
| pompeii | hello, can I properly use gwibber in its new form (renamed as friends app) on 12.04.? | 14:48 |
| pompeii | often it refers to 12.10. and later | 14:48 |
| cfhowlett | mohank, there's a terminal command to let you view the install operation in progress but I don't it ... | 14:48 |
| mohank | oh, it's got something to do with dropbox I think... | 14:49 |
| mohank | when I type in "ubuntu upgrade stuck", Google suggests "ubuntu upgrade stuck on dropbox" | 14:49 |

| LyndsySimon | I've got an Ubuntu machine where I have a user account which is in the sudoers list. However, that user account doesn't have a password, and I've locked myself out of the root account. Can anyone suggest a way to recover this? | 14:50 |
| LyndsySimon | While I'm in the sudoers file, because the user account has no password I can't actually use sudo :( | 14:50 |
| Teriel_ | hello | 14:51 |
| Teriel_ | i have "gnome display manager" that does not work | 14:51 |
| Pumpkin- | LyndsySimon: set a password ? | 14:51 |
| Teriel_ | gnome display manager ------------------[fail] | 14:51 |
| LyndsySimon | How? passwd return an error. | 14:51 |
| Teriel_ | help me please | 14:52 |
| Teriel_ | i can't start gnome | 14:52 |
| [L]ight | LyndsySimon: Boot into recovery mode, into root prompt. | 14:53 |
| Joalland | Plop | 14:54 |
| squinty | LyndsySimon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 14:55 |
| Joalland | o/ | 14:55 |
| LyndsySimon | [L]ight: It's a remote VM, can't do that :) | 14:55 |
| blackangelpr | LyndsySimon, when you get to the login screen change tty1 and do what ever you need to do in the command line to fix it :P | 14:58 |
| LyndsySimon | squinty: Yep, none of those will work for me - no access to the machine during boot. | 14:59 |
| LyndsySimon | Thanks all - I'm just going to rebuild that machine. | 14:59 |
| Teriel_ | my gnome can't start - gnome display manager ------------------[fail] | 14:59 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, so the user cannot do sudo and you haven't got a root password set? you need remote console in recovery mode for that. | 14:59 |
| [L]ight | LyndsySimon: Do you have access to an account with root permissions? | 14:59 |
| LyndsySimon | I was hoping there was somethign simple I'd overlooked is all. | 14:59 |
| LyndsySimon | [L]ight: In practice, no. That's the problem. | 15:00 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, is the user still in sudoers? if so, what stops you from using passwd, setting password for user and using sudo? | 15:00 |
| Teriel_ | my gnome can't start - gnome display manager ------------------[fail] | 15:00 |
| mohank | aha! got it! Gnome system monitor didn't show the Dropbox process which was running. Killed the bastard via terminal... Upgrading continues :) | 15:01 |

| mohank | cfhowlett: sorry... Just excited that I don't have to do a fresh install... | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | mohank, no apology needed. you did good work! | 15:02 |
| LyndsySimon | blackangelpr: Thanks. Can't do that though, the machine is hosted on Linode. | 15:02 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, is the user still in sudoers? if so, what stops you from using passwd, setting password for user and using sudo? | 15:02 |

| iptable | teraliv_, gdm? I was sure that ubuntu uses lightdm, not gdm? | 15:03 |
| iptable | Teriel_, ^ | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: yes, lightdm by default | 15:04 |
| iptable | sorry teraliv_ ;) | 15:04 |
| iptable | Teriel_, how did you end up with gdm? | 15:04 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: Here's my result from passwd: http://dpaste.com/3R55H2W | 15:04 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: I think the Ansible script I used to provision the machine corrupted /etc/shadow. | 15:04 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: ubuntu use unity, i believe | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: is that in root recovery mode? | 15:05 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: No. root recovery is not available in my situation. | 15:05 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, looks like the root filesystem is mounted in read-only mode. that would also cause sudo to not work | 15:05 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, so let's troublewshoot the cause of that issue. output of command please: mount | 15:05 |
| LyndsySimon | It's not that sudo won't work - sudo requires a password, while my account has no password set. | 15:05 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: i have customized ubuntu with gnome but, he is crashed | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: then you will need to su to an account that can use sudo, or drop to root recovery | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: why does your account not have a password? | 15:06 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: It's okay, I'm going to stop here. I'm going to rebuild the machine; there are significant improvements to my network security scripts that it'd be nice to have anyhow. | 15:06 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: customize ubuntu is very dangerous | 15:06 |
| iptable | Teriel_, you are still not telling me much. 1. how did you do it? 2. why do you need gdm to run gnome? you wanted to change login manager too? | 15:06 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: Why would it? As a rule, I disallow login via a password for all users, and remote root login entirely. | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: if you are using unity, then you are runing Gnome too..... | 15:07 |
| iptable | Teriel_, no, simply installing gnome and choosing it during the login screen of lightdm is not dangerous and just works | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: its needed for sudo.... plus, blank passwords are a really bad idea | 15:07 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, we are troubleshooting the fact that passwd doesn't work for you. | 15:08 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, I'm guessing that is your main problem. | 15:08 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: It's only needed for sudo if sudo is set up to require it. Can you explain why blank password are a bad idea? | 15:08 |
| [L]ight | LyndsySimon: Remount / as rw? then grant 640 via chmod to shadow file, and run passwd | 15:08 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, so you could provide us the result of command `mount` to check if the / is mounted as read-write | 15:08 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: I know, but I'm going to go ahead and stop here. My time is better used to rebuild the box, since I will get additional improvements anyhow. | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: for security | 15:08 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, if it's read only, REBOOT, it will boot to r/w and will start working | 15:08 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: How, though? Users cannot login with a password, so how is it bad for security? | 15:09 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: i have installed gdm because, i wanted customise my desktop and i don't know how i made this error | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: users will be able to su to your user without password for example | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: plus, your system is having issue now....so its clearly needed | 15:10 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, and for blank passwords, BAD IDEA. first of all, you need a failback. secondly, if you want to stop SSH with a password and allow key-based only, you should edit sshd_config and disable password authentication, NOT reset the user's password | 15:10 |
| blackangelpr | if users want to use the box make them use guest XD | 15:10 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: That's an interesting thought. The systems I'm working on at the moment are multiuser, but all users are implicitly trusted. I'll give that some consideration. | 15:10 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, and for blank passwords, BAD IDEA. first of all, you need a failback. secondly, if you want to stop SSH with a password and allow key-based only, you should edit sshd_config and disable password authentication, NOT reset the user's password | 15:10 |
| LyndsySimon | ActionParsnip: The current misconfiguration isn't caused by that. | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | LyndsySimon: only takes one rogue user and your house of cards will come crashing down | 15:11 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: and i'm french, it's not easy to speak in english and the french room is empty, inactive | 15:11 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: sshd_config is properly configured, no worries there. | 15:11 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, so you disabled password auth in sshd_config and wanted to give people blank passwords on top of that? | 15:11 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: I didn't set a password because the build was automated, and the script to build it was published. I didn't want to deal with storing passwords or password hashes in a secure way outside the git repo at the time. | 15:12 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| iptable | LyndsySimon, for security, either disable password auth, or enable 2 factor time-based auth using e.g. google authenticator. utilise selinux and/or apparmor. configure iptables. Use container isolation for users/software. That's Security. Setting blank passwords is not security. | 15:12 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: I've since solved that problem, though, so the rationale (laziness) for not setting a password is now moot. | 15:13 |
| blackangelpr | ^^ | 15:13 |
| iptable | Teriel_, that's not a problem. I need to know why you tried to replace lightdm with gdm, when to get gmoe, you could just install it and select it in the lightdm login screen | 15:13 |
| [L]ight | Take your argument somewhere else will ya' | 15:13 |
| iptable | Teriel_, ie.e full reason for this excercise? what did you want to achieve for yourself. | 15:14 |
| blackangelpr | Had anyone here done a multi seat with 14.04 LTS Yet? | 15:14 |
| iptable | [L]ight, uhm, what? | 15:14 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: i want fix this problem with a magic command :D because i'm a noob | 15:15 |
| iptable | blackangelpr, define multiseat | 15:15 |
| [L]ight | iptable: He might have installed gnome ubuntu. Explains why gdm comes by default. | 15:15 |
| blackangelpr | iptable, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiseat_configuration | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: one server with lots of x servers, allowing many users to use one central PC. Lots of fun | 15:15 |
| iptable | Teriel_, reinstall/remove gdm and use lightdm is one. You need to tell me what you wanted to achieve. and how did you install gdm? apt-get install gdm on ubuntu desktop? | 15:15 |
| iptable | ActionParsnip, oh, thin client thingie | 15:16 |
| blackangelpr | i walways wanted to try but instructions are awfull or non existent :p | 15:16 |

| splintercdo | When I connected my iPad for a first couple times to Ubuntu, there was a folder, where I could access Apps on the iPad, now it does not show up anymore, does anyone have a clue, what could be the problem, otherwise everything is fine I can access music and photos. | 15:17 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: yes, i have put this command "sudo apt-get install gdm". how do i have to remove gnome ? please. | 15:17 |
| iptable | ActionParsnip, so like my setup. 1 video card though. 1 connection is going to X :1 to TV and X :0 is to laptop screen. separate keyboard and mouse per session | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: a thin client has a server PC and a client PC (albeit very small). In mutiseat you are all connected to one box | 15:17 |
| iptable | it's a bloody nightmare to setup | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: yes, allowing 2 people to use the resource of 1 PC using completely didfferent apps with 2 separate X servers | 15:18 |
| iptable | LyndsySimon, if you wish. It doesn't do time-based though. Only refresh-based. why not use opensource google authenticator? you install the code as pam auth module on ubuntu, download the app to your phone, share the code and voila | 15:18 |
| iptable | splintercdo, did you update your iPad or otherwise plug it into iTunes at some point? | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: http://www.linuxtoys.org/multiseat/sixusers.jpg like that :) | 15:19 |
| iptable | ActionParsnip, the cost of consultancy to do that is more than it would be to buy 6 cheap machines :D | 15:19 |
| blackangelpr | iptable, have a look http://plugable.com/2009/11/16/setting-up-usb-multiseat-with-displaylink-on-linux-gdm-up-to-2-20/ i hope if we get mir support this since for families and schools will be great | 15:19 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: Yubikeys do time-based auth IIRC, but you have to manually set it up. From the factory they only do HOTP. | 15:20 |
| iptable | Teriel_, what did apt-get remove to install gdm? did it have to remove anything? | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | iptable: true but it centralizes stuff, just shows the flexibilty of the OS you are using | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | splintercdo: when you unplug the device from your system, do you use the safe removal feature before unplugging | 15:20 |
| iptable | ActionParsnip, true. having NFS-mounted /home dirs also ;) but yes, it just shows the power of it | 15:21 |
| splintercdo | iptable, yes, I did plug it in iTunes | 15:21 |

| Teriel_ | iptable: i will try in few hours, i have a last question, can i use irc in a terminal ? | 15:21 |
| iptable | splintercdo, most likely it updated your iPad. newer versions os iOS do not allow sharing files like that. | 15:21 |

| ActionParsnip | splintercdo: fine in OSX, whatever, its not important which OS | 15:22 |

| [L]ight | Zunino: SSH? | 15:23 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: True. I've already got a Yubikey on my keychain and carry a 7" Android phablet. One more device is trivial. | 15:23 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: my last ask please : i will try in few hours, i have a last question, can i use irc in a terminal ? | 15:23 |
| Zunino | [L]ight: Sure, but what about the graphical environment? | 15:24 |
| LyndsySimon | iptable: To top it off, I drive a Jeep and have no secure storage - so I usually have my laptop bag with me at all times. | 15:24 |
| iptable | Teriel_, try what? yes, it's not that simple to setup though, you can. but try waht? what did gdm installation remove? i.e. did you read the output of what apt-get was going to do? | 15:24 |
| Zunino | I know about VNC, but was wondering if there's any other (current) way. | 15:24 |

| iptable | Zunino, or use x11vnc if you need to see the desktop itself | 15:26 |
| iptable | Zunino, it will let you see current user's session | 15:26 |
| Teriel_ | iptable: no, i need to remove before to back here | 15:26 |
| jpds | iptable: Oi. | 15:26 |
| iptable | Teriel_, if you want gnome, apt-get install gnome2 or apt-get install gnome is the answer, not apt-get install gdm. gdm is the login window. remove gdm and stick with lightdm. | 15:27 |
| iptable | jpds, hello | 15:27 |
| Zunino | I will look into it, iptable. | 15:27 |
| PuzzledCoder | hey guys, does anyone know anything about compiling on ubuntu? | 15:27 |
| squinty | Teriel_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irssi | 15:27 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, uhm, yes. ./configure && make && make install | 15:28 |
| compdoc | PuzzledCoderm, ive done it | 15:28 |
| cfhowlett | !source | PuzzledCoder | 15:28 |
| ubottu | PuzzledCoder: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 15:28 |

| PuzzledCoder | i've got a problem with my makefile not recognizing gcc or g++ or even the rm command | 15:28 |
| PuzzledCoder | it's being super weird =/ | 15:28 |
| PuzzledCoder | the path is all correct | 15:29 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, how's your p[ath looking? echo $path | 15:29 |
| iptable | oh | 15:29 |
| iptable | :D | 15:29 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, in bash, execute, `which gcc`, does that see it? | 15:29 |
| Teriel_ | thanks, i will try | 15:29 |
| PuzzledCoder | it returns /usr/bin/gcc | 15:29 |
| PuzzledCoder | quick note i'm running ubuntu virtualized atm | 15:29 |
| PuzzledCoder | i copy pasted the command the makefile attempts to execute in the terminal | 15:30 |
| PuzzledCoder | works fine | 15:30 |
| PuzzledCoder | just when i call make | 15:30 |
| PuzzledCoder | it won't work | 15:30 |
| blackangelpr | brb good day all 88 | 15:30 |
| d4rkt1m3s | does anyone know of a way to get apt to try from every mirror available? | 15:30 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, if you put absolute path in makefile, does it work? | 15:31 |
| Zunino | Just out of curiosity, though. I understand X works in a client/server fashion. In that sense, would it be possible to set up things so that my current display would show whatever is to be shown (or being shown) on the remote display? Sorry if my wording is confusing, but I hope you can understand what I mean. | 15:31 |
| PuzzledCoder | hmm i should try that, would the absolute path be /usr/bin/gcc then? | 15:31 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, yes, although you should not need absolute paths... I'm guessing something is wrong with the $path or env. Does it work as another user if you create another user? | 15:32 |
| pompeii | could you please help me know the command to upgrade from 12.04. to 14.04.? thank you very much! | 15:32 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, how does the makefile look like? | 15:32 |
| iptable | pompeii, desktop or server? | 15:32 |
| Zunino | If what I propose is possible at all, I assume I'd only be able to see the screen output, not interact with it. Does that make sense? | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Zunino: you'd need something like vnc for that, you can connect to the system via SSH and use X forwarding to display running applications on a remote system | 15:32 |
| pompeii | iptable, desktop | 15:32 |
| Zunino | Hum, ActionParsnip, I thought that might be possible. | 15:33 |
| iptable | pompeii, use the software manage GUI | 15:33 |
| PuzzledCoder | hmm absolute path still doesn't work | 15:33 |
| iptable | pompeii, in unity look for "upgrade" | 15:33 |

| iptable | PuzzledCoder, try as another user (and iwhtout absolute paths). looks like your env could be broken | 15:34 |
| squinty | Zunino: to get an idea you could start off with teamviewer http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx there are other native options as well but teamviewer is really quick to setup | 15:34 |
| === iShaggy-Away is now known as iShaggy | ||
| iptable | pompeii, not sure how to make it allow you 14.04. maybe someone else can answer that? | 15:34 |
| odin | hi, I have a fresh install of ubuntu server, when it boots it just comes up saying: "GRUB _" thats it, no other messages aside form the bios posting, what is this indicative of? | 15:34 |
| Zunino | Thanks, squinty. | 15:35 |
| iptable | odin, how big is the hard drive? | 15:35 |
| squinty | odin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting | 15:35 |
| pompeii | iptable, there was a command line for it, I received it a while ago. but apparently I didnt save it somewhere | 15:35 |
| odin | iptable, hey, how are you: it is 150GB | 15:35 |
| === kimphill is now known as Guest12455 | ||
| iptable | odin, not bad. the actual HDD is just 150GB? | 15:35 |
| iptable | or just the partition? | 15:36 |
| mlindner | What is this apport nonsense and how do I get access to my core dumps????? | 15:36 |
| pompeii | something with release-upgrade maybe | 15:36 |
| mlindner | Ubuntu ditching the norm for no reason as usual apparently | 15:36 |
| odin | iptable, the actual HDD is 150GB it is an old scasi drive, on an old 32bit server | 15:36 |
| squinty | odin: Boot-Repair (which is mentioned) works well | 15:36 |
| iptable | pompeii, do-release-upgrade | 15:36 |
| iptable | squinty, and irrelevant. "GRUB _" is different to grub rescue | 15:37 |
| squinty | iptable: no need to be snotty about a simple misunderstanding | 15:38 |
| odin | iptable, squinty so in short: I don't have a GRUB prompt. I can not type anything | 15:38 |
| iptable | odin, oh, old machine, old drive and GRUB _ | 15:38 |
| odin | iptable, yup | 15:39 |
| iptable | odin, go to BIOS and check settings. looks like the BIOS isn't seeing the drive correctly. Make sure it can see the drive size (autodetect) etc | 15:39 |
| iptable | odin, make sure all settings are set to proper and general if possible. | 15:39 |
| PuzzledCoder | guh ubuntu hates me T_T | 15:39 |
| PuzzledCoder | still won't work | 15:39 |
| odin | iptable, like 2002 old | 15:39 |
| iptable | squinty, I'm not snotty, just saying | 15:39 |
| mlindner | Somone? | 15:39 |
| iptable | odin, check BIOS settings | 15:39 |
| mlindner | What is this apport nonsense and how do I get access to my core dumps????? | 15:39 |
| odin | iptable, lemme poke around in bios (when I got it it had redhat on it | 15:39 |
| Guest61824 | how to ignore joins etc..? | 15:39 |
| odin | version six if I remember correctly | 15:39 |
| pompeii | iptable, I found an online page that mentions also this command: '$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core' | 15:39 |
| iptable | mlindner, apport nonsense? using beta? | 15:40 |
| pompeii | is it relevant, too? | 15:40 |
| iptable | mlindner, using 14.10? | 15:40 |
| mlindner | iptable: no i'm following the darn wiki | 15:40 |
| iptable | pompeii, yes. that's if you don't have that package. it's a full walkthough. make sure you apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade before you run do-... | 15:41 |
| mlindner | iptable: was trying to figure out why i wasnt getting core dumps | 15:41 |
| === we is now known as bcode | ||
| mlindner | iptable: then i see that they've re-routed the core dumps to this apport program that ive never heard of | 15:41 |
| pompeii | iptable, how do I now if I have that package? | 15:41 |
| mlindner | iptable: its silly | 15:41 |
| iptable | mlindner, apport is a tool for noting problems, getting core dumps and submitting them to ubuntu. why? | 15:41 |
| mlindner | iptable: im a developer | 15:41 |
| mlindner | iptable: more and more its apparent to me ubuntu is focused on users and not on developers | 15:42 |
| iptable | mlindner, ok, so you want to get the core dumps and read them and you installed apport for automatically submitting them to ubuntu? | 15:42 |
| mlindner | iptable: i never installed apport | 15:42 |
| ninad_d | can i install kali tools in ubuntu | 15:43 |
| iptable | mlindner, ok, in that case it was installed. disable or remove apport. | 15:43 |
| mlindner | iptable: /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern routes all dumps into /usr/share/apport/apport | 15:43 |
| iptable | mlindner, mlindner, any OS which focuses on developers only fails :D | 15:43 |
| PuzzledCoder | iptable I tried creating another user account, but it still won't work. I ran echo $path, seems like it's returning nothing | 15:43 |
| eeee | PuzzledCoder: it's $PATH not $path | 15:44 |
| iptable | mlindner, you can change that and set it to save core dumps locally. apport allows ubuntu to receive core dumps from beta software when OS is in beta. quite cool. | 15:44 |
| mlindner | iptable: so its not on right now? | 15:44 |
| PuzzledCoder | ahh wait, nvm it is returning all the correct paths | 15:44 |
| PuzzledCoder | why won't this makefile work T_T | 15:44 |
| iptable | mlindner, if you installed your OS not as beta, then it's off | 15:44 |
| odin | iptable, damn the bios doesn't have an option to put into default setting | 15:45 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, pastebin the makefile please | 15:45 |
| iptable | odin, uhm, really? that's just weird. you have to look though all the settings | 15:45 |
| lastleo85 | can i install kali tools in ubuntu, how,pls help, stuck | 15:46 |
| odin | iptable, it has something called: OS Install Mode, never seen that before | 15:46 |
| cfhowlett | !kali | lastleo85, | 15:46 |
| ubottu | lastleo85,: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 15:46 |
| mlindner | iptable: i sintalled 14.04 LTS | 15:46 |
| iptable | odin, neither have I, but looks relevant. | 15:46 |
| mlindner | iptable: and its apparently enabled | 15:46 |
| pompeii | iptable, if the upgrade gets messed up, it will be really the wrong time for it to happen..could we please once again make sure what command(s) I need to upgrade from 12.04. to 14.04.? | 15:46 |
| iptable | mlindner, did you install it before it came out of beta? | 15:46 |
| mlindner | iptable: unless 14.04 is considered beta | 15:46 |
| iptable | mlindner, or alternatively you might have installed something that needed apport as dependency | 15:47 |
| mlindner | iptable: additionally im running on a headless system, gui stuff is useless here | 15:47 |
| iptable | pompeii, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; REBOOT NOW!!!; do-dist-upgrade | 15:47 |
| iptable | mlindner, apt-get remove apport | 15:48 |
| PuzzledCoder | iptable: http://pastebin.com/iD0iG5Ct | 15:48 |
| SchrodingersScat | you mean release? | 15:48 |
| mlindner | iptable: when did 14.04 come out of beta? | 15:48 |
| eeee | iptable: do-dist-upgrade? dont you mean do-release-upgrade? | 15:48 |
| iptable | damn | 15:48 |
| iptable | thanks SchrodingersScat | 15:48 |
| iptable | pompeii, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; REBOOT NOW!!!; do-release-upgrade | 15:48 |
| SchrodingersScat | and shutdown -r 0 might be better than REBOOT NOW | 15:48 |
| iptable | mlindner, in 04/14 | 15:48 |

| iptable | mlindner, 1404 = April 2014 | 15:48 |
| mlindner | iptable: all the config files are here though, which is kind of nonsense | 15:49 |
| iptable | mlindner, did you install the system before/during April this year? | 15:49 |
| ibetyouarenice | Hello, excuse me! If anyone has time, could you help me? I have trouble installing Ubuntu(or even getting LiveCD to work.) I posted more about it here on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/2g7etu/switching_from_xp_to_linux_distro_kernel_crash/ | 15:49 |
| mlindner | iptable: no | 15:49 |
| ibetyouarenice | Probably human error tho, but those are the hardest to fix anyways hah | 15:49 |
| iptable | mlindner, apt-cache search apport; dpkg -l |grep apport | 15:49 |
| pompeii | iptable, 2 times reboot? once with do-dist-upgrade, once with do-release-upgrade thereafter? | 15:50 |
| iptable | mlindner, if it's not installed, it's not installed. if it is installed, remove it. if it's not installed, just configure ubuntu to perform local core dumps. someone must have enabled and installed it at some point on that system | 15:50 |
| iptable | mlindner, either manually or as dependency. | 15:50 |
| pompeii | or should I do only the last one? | 15:50 |
| iptable | pompeii, yes. it's not do-dist-upgrade | 15:50 |
| iptable | pompeii, only these: | 15:50 |
| iptable | pompeii, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; REBOOT NOW!!!; do-release-upgrade | 15:50 |
| mlindner | iptable: I don't think so. It's apparently in the distributed 14.04 system | 15:51 |
| iptable | pompeii, so upgrade after apt-get dist-upgrade and then perform release upgrade | 15:51 |
| mlindner | should get that fixed | 15:51 |
| pompeii | iptable, thank you very much! | 15:51 |
| cfhowlett | ibetyouarenice, 1. always md5sum 2. older hardware = lubuntu or xubuntu. | 15:51 |
| iptable | mlindner, nope. got 2 servers next to me and typing from a desktop and none of them have apport installed | 15:51 |
| iptable | mlindner, all 14.04 | 15:51 |
| odin | iptable, lol, I don't know if this is progress but now it prints "GRUB " over and over again | 15:51 |
| iptable | mlindner, and no configs for it either on any of those | 15:51 |
| DarkAceXtreme | how do I set the color profile for my display? | 15:52 |
| squinty | odin: for my own curiosity is the following GRUB what you see when trying to boot? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#GRUB | 15:52 |
| Guest61824 | can i hide join part and etc messages on irssi | 15:52 |
| iptable | odin, it is definitely some kind of progress and indication your BIOS is the reason. find the right way to configure your BIOS to install an OS and THEN install ubuntu | 15:52 |
| pompeii | iptable??! 'so upgrade after apt-get dist-upgrade and then perform release upgrade' there is only one upgrade after dist-upgrade in your description | 15:52 |
| ibetyouarenice | cfhowlett, Thank you! :) | 15:52 |
| mlindner | iptable: whats in /etc/default/apport | 15:52 |
| squinty | odin: or do you actually see GRUB _ ? | 15:52 |
| odin | squinty, no I do not see that | 15:52 |
| iptable | pompeii, what? | 15:53 |
| iptable | pompeii, so upgrade after apt-get dist-upgrade and then perform release upgrade | 15:53 |
| iptable | pompeii, ^ | 15:53 |
| odin | iptable, k thanks | 15:53 |
| ri | hi | 15:53 |
| mlindner | iptable: maybe the desktop version has it and the server version doesnt | 15:53 |
| iptable | pompeii, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; REBOOT NOW!!!; do-release-upgrade | 15:53 |
| odin | squinty, it just prints GRUB now | 15:53 |
| iptable | pompeii, ^ update; dist-upgrade, reboot, release-upgrade, reboot. that's that | 15:53 |
| odin | squinty, like u are in a terminal that keeps printing the word "GRUB _" | 15:53 |
| iptable | mlindner, no, I am typing to you from the desktop and it doesn't have it | 15:53 |
| iptable | odin, it is definitely lock/settings on BIOS. get that fixed, install ubuntu. | 15:54 |
| iptable | odin, btw, how OLD is that machine? what's the CPU? | 15:54 |
| pompeii | iptable, all right, thank you again! | 15:54 |

| iptable | mlindner, I don't have /etc/default/apport | 15:57 |
| PuzzledCoder | haha ^^ | 15:57 |
| iptable | mlindner, neither on desktop nor on server. you HAD it installed at some point. | 15:57 |
| eeee | iptable: don't know what you are talking about with mlindner, but i've not installed anything and i have /etc/default/apport | 15:58 |
| eeee | it's default for ubuntu 14.04 | 15:58 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, I tohught makefiles to "=", not ":=" ;) | 15:58 |
| thecha | what are the big chnages between ubuntu 14 and ubuntu 12? | 15:58 |
| thecha | is ubuntu 14 faster? | 15:58 |
| iptable | eeee, I haven't installed anything and I don't. You might have had apport installed as part of upgrade/dependency at some point. | 15:58 |
| iptable | eeee, fresh install with quite a few packages and it's not here | 15:59 |
| PuzzledCoder | i didn't think there was a particular difference between = and := other than how it executes | 15:59 |
| iptable | thecha, 14 is supported longer, and is newer | 15:59 |
| PuzzledCoder | but i tried that, and it didn't work | 15:59 |
| eeee | iptable: odd, usually people who don't like the apport errors, are told to edit that file, and they have it usually | 15:59 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, I didn't know := even works | 15:59 |
| MonkeyDust | thecha any review can tell you "what's new" | 15:59 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, first make a very simple makefile. if it recognises gcc/g++, then your makefile is at fault/incorrect. if it doesn't execute, your user environment. | 16:00 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, troubleshoot that way, you will know what to troubleshoot. that's as far as I can help I'm afraid. | 16:00 |
| netlar | Do software purchases help the Ubuntu community or just the developer? | 16:00 |
| MrCoder | 14 LTS hates me | 16:00 |
| iptable | eeee, apport is only there if you installed 14.04 when it was still in beta. if you installed after release apport is not there | 16:01 |
| thecha | MonkeyD ANYTHING THAT IS TALKED ABOTU IN ANY CHANNEL HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID IN THE INTERNET SOMEWHERE ELSE SO SHOULD WE SHUT IRC DOWN NOW OR WAIT ANOTHER % MINUTESß | 16:01 |
| iptable | eeee, hence apport errors never appear in release versions | 16:01 |
| PuzzledCoder | iirc actually... i had this problem a few months back... at the time i was attempting to create a new makefile for a project, the old one worked, but this one didn't | 16:01 |
| MrCoder | Since upgrading from 12 LTS I get "File not found" when booting, lightdm hanging, shutdown not working... | 16:01 |
| thecha | sorry for caps | 16:01 |
| netlar | I want to contribute | 16:01 |
| PuzzledCoder | problem is i can't see anything obviously wrong with the makefile | 16:01 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, I'm guessing it will be a typo in the makefile somewhere, but I'm not that fluent in it to check | 16:01 |
| cfhowlett | !contribute | netlar | 16:02 |
| ubottu | netlar: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 16:02 |
| PuzzledCoder | and here's the weirder thing | 16:02 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, tried ##linux as well? makefile is a bit out of scope here | 16:02 |
| PuzzledCoder | i copy paste the command the makefile tries to execute | 16:02 |
| PuzzledCoder | and it works | 16:02 |
| eeee | iptable: yeah it seems to say that in the ubuntu wiki, apport is not enabled by default in stable releases, even if installed | 16:02 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, that is because makefile is malformed | 16:02 |
| PuzzledCoder | ahh i haven't, but cheers for trying though =) | 16:02 |
| iptable | eeee, ;) So if it got configured for the user, it was either manually installed OR as dependency at some point. | 16:03 |
| MonkeyDust | thecha if you want to just talk, type /j #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:04 |
| iptable | PuzzledCoder, on ##linux you will find more people who polay with makefiles | 16:04 |
| PuzzledCoder | cheers ip, i'll give it ago =) | 16:04 |
| PuzzledCoder | well i have to be off anyways, i'll get back to this when i have the time again xD | 16:04 |
| PuzzledCoder | thanks again for the help | 16:04 |
| eeee | iptable: i think the ubuntu wiki is off, i downloaded my iso as a stable release from the default drop down downloader, and i had apport straight away | 16:04 |
| DarkAceXtreme | how do I set the color profile for my display? | 16:05 |
| iptable | eeee, maybe left there by mistake on 14.04.0? I'm using 14.04.1 ISO | 16:05 |
| eeee | could be | 16:05 |

| donatien_alphons | any ideas why my screen "freezes" for 10-12 seconds after resuming from suspend or screen lock? it's not really frozen; the mouse moves and even responds to the UI (e.g. it will change to a text cursor when i move it over a text box) but won't interact with it. | 16:11 |
| innocent95 | Hi | 16:11 |
| donatien_alphons | i've searched google, but i just get results related to a blank screen, which isn't the problem i have. i can't find a succinct way to describe it to google. | 16:11 |
| fa7ad | donatien_alphons, I'd assume that's pretty normal. happens to me all the time. not for more than 5 seconds though | 16:11 |
| innocent95 | Is there a software like luxicon purity for ubuntu? | 16:11 |
| donatien_alphons | fa7ad: well, i might assume that too, but it wasn't normal until a couple of weeks ago. | 16:12 |

| mark__ | ? | 17:02 |

| === ideopathic_ is now known as ideopathic | ||
| Rudj__ | so i can't find a way of running fancontrol | 17:03 |
| TJ- | mark__: better to keep it in the channel as I may have to leave and so others can contribute | 17:03 |
| mark__ | TJ: I'm running it on a server with 5terabyte of HD, I think it's about 50-60 HDs | 17:04 |
| TJ- | mark__: To get an understanding of why it has dropped to the GRUB Rescue prompt take at a look at my illustrated guide: https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader | 17:04 |
| Snake2k | Ubuntu > Life | 17:04 |
| mark__ | I ran through a something else install, created my partition for root (/), created a partition for /boot, and there was also the swap file, I set the boot to primary and beginning. | 17:04 |
| TJ- | mark__: The core reason is, GRUB can't find the device with it's files on, the device and file-system containing /boot/grub/ | 17:05 |
| TJ- | mark__: Is this a UEFI system booting in EFI mode? | 17:05 |
| mark__ | TJ: Only options I can see are UEFI, so I'm guessing UEFI | 17:06 |
| mark__ | I'm guessing it's just a bit lost in the boot | 17:06 |
| Caramoan | how to sync windows phone in ubuntu 14.04 | 17:07 |
| mark__ | TJ: The MBR part, I think I just need to redirect it to the normal file. | 17:07 |
| TJ- | mark__: If it is a UEFI system it could be starting in Legacy BIOS mode, too. So we need to figure out which mode Ubuntu was installed in since that dictates different flavours of the GRUB boot-loader (grub-efi or grub-pc) being installed | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Caramoan: sync what? | 17:08 |
| mark__ | TJ: how would I find out which mode ubuntu was installed in? | 17:08 |
| TJ- | mark__: use the GRUB command "set" to view all the environment variables. Then, tell me what "prefix" and "root" are set to | 17:08 |
| mark__ | TJ: I'll brb, off to do this now. | 17:09 |

| uskerine2 | hi | 17:10 |
| uskerine2 | I am using ubuntu 12.04 to print in an old matrix printer, but it is terribly slow, printer stops at each line. Might it be the driver? How could I troubleshoot? I am currently doing cat file > /dev/lp0 or lpr file | 17:11 |
| mark__ | TJ: sidenote while I load up the server again. Excellent link, you must have spent ages on it. | 17:11 |
| uskerine2 | what does ubuntu use for printing? | 17:12 |
| bazhang | cups | 17:12 |
| uskerine2 | does cups do all the lpq/lprm/lpr stuff? | 17:12 |
| bazhang | whats the printer make and model | 17:13 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: Probably, the driver is doing bitmapped graphic image printing instead of simple text | 17:13 |
| uskerine2 | No I don't think so, I am even sending a escape character to select CONDENSED printer font | 17:13 |
| mark__ | TJ: root = hdo,gpt4 and prefix=(hd0,gpt4)/boot/grub | 17:13 |
| uskerine2 | and it is a line printer, I am trying not to use any driver | 17:13 |
| uskerine2 | It is a STAR LC-7211 | 17:14 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: If the DMP supports the Epson Esc/P protocol commands you can try using the generic Esc/P driver | 17:14 |
| bazhang | star is the brand? | 17:14 |
| uskerine2 | right | 17:14 |
| uskerine2 | it is from early 90's | 17:14 |
| uskerine2 | is there something like "no driver"? | 17:15 |
| uskerine2 | line printers are, line printers, I don't need emulation | 17:15 |
| TJ- | mark__: OK, "gpt" tells us the device has a GPT, which suggests it installed in UEFI mode but isn't conclusive. Now do "ls (hd0,gpt4)/boot/grub/" and tell me if you see "grub.cfg" listed - 100% bet that will fail though :) | 17:15 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: See http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Generic/Generic-ESC_P_Dot_Matrix_Printer | 17:15 |
| uskerine2 | I am checking that TJ- | 17:15 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: I was helping another user with a similar question a few days ago; still had the references :) | 17:16 |
| mark__ | TJ: I think I did that and it was /../.. but I'll double check. | 17:16 |
| === tumppu__ is now known as Guest13952 | ||
| uskerine2 | so you suggest to configure printer in EPSON emulation and try that driver in CUPS? | 17:16 |
| TJ- | mark__: So, the listing succeeded (directory must exist - GOOD) but grub.cfg and sub-dirs such as "x86_64-efi/" missing (BAD) | 17:17 |
| mark__ | TJ: nah sorry that was something earlier. | 17:17 |
| mark__ | TJ: I get error unknown filesystem | 17:17 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: I wasn't able to follow that user through to conclusion since they left but the impression I got was, they were able to use that or a similar 24-pin DMP driver to do regular line-printing | 17:18 |
| uskerine2 | ok but I am a bit puzzled, because a matrix printer does not actually need any driver | 17:18 |
| uskerine2 | you just send the ASCII characters provided that your input file has the right encoding / code page | 17:18 |
| TJ- | mark__: OK, so (hd0,gpt4) was probably mapped to a different drive at install time. This could get confusing if there's 50 HDDs attached! How are they attached? | 17:19 |
| uskerine2 | the driver was only needed to print graphics or use different fonts than the printer-build, or at least that was I have always though | 17:19 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: Yes, you and I know that, but all modern printers require something more like PCL or Postscript, and so the drivers are developed on the basis that users will want to print images | 17:20 |
| mark__ | TJ: they're all raided together and act as one. | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | ok | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | I will try epson | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | and let you know | 17:20 |
| mark__ | TJ: if I replace the gpt4 with 3, I get the message of unable to read outside of HD0, error message. | 17:20 |
| TJ- | uskerine2: It used to be you'd use the lp driver but I read somewhere that has/is becoming a link to the CUPS backend - you'd need to check that | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | now it takes like... 30 hours to print 10 pages | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | :) | 17:20 |
| uskerine2 | 30minutes | 17:21 |
| mark__ | TJ: I believe this may be where I installed the boot to, as it was sda4 | 17:21 |
| uskerine2 | ok TJ- thanks | 17:21 |

| mark__ | TJ: I didn't fully understand your Q | 17:36 |
| TJ- | mark__: You said, I think, that (hd0,gpt3) would list files? | 17:38 |
| TJ- | mark__: Or rather, it doesn't report an error | 17:38 |

| streulma | hello, for home use I use external screen with keyboard and mouse. For other use I have to use my Macbook Pro Retina screen. HiDPI support on scaled resolution 1440x900 is not so good. How to deal with it for other use (outside home)? | 17:55 |

| hawa | OerHeks, so how do i undo that? its stuck there... i tried to install from ppa | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | hawa contact the ppa owner, we do not support ppa's. | 18:19 |
| hawa | OerHeks, so there is nothing for now i can do to remove that??? | 18:20 |
| hawa | OerHeks, thanks for the information.. | 18:20 |
| OerHeks | hawa, best thing to do: remove that ppa wit ppa-purge, and use this ppa ( seems to have 7u65) https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java | 18:22 |
| OerHeks | else see !java | 18:22 |

| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| day | genii: marginally means, a tiny bit more performance? But not 'missing features'? My 4870 f.e. couldnt do transparency :"D | 21:04 |
| genii | day: I'm not aware currently of any transparency issues in the fglrx driver, but all my boxes use nvidia right now | 21:06 |
| Pici | mjrosenb: it would be once, but files in /etc/init/ should end in .conf The file itself should specify when it gets started (see the other files in there for examples) | 21:06 |
| day | genii: nah that was just an example. If the ati cards work perfectly featurewise and just miss a few fps i dont really mind. They might very well comppensate that with their better performance atm | 21:07 |

| Akiva-Thinkpad | Ubuntu Touch coming to Meizu MX4 THIS DECEMBER! | 21:15 |
| Akiva-Thinkpad | ~\o/~ | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | Welcome to Ubuntu 12.10 (GNU/Linux 3.16.2-armv7-x4 armv7l) | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | New release '13.04' available. | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | what | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | no | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | no, no, no. | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | I just upgraded to 14.04 | 21:15 |
| mjrosenb | why do you think you're still 12.10? | 21:15 |
| jeeeeg | How can i move another virtualbox snapshot path to another harddrive? | 21:16 |
| spearhead | mjrosenb, try lsb_release -a | 21:16 |
| mjrosenb | Description: Ubuntu 12.10 | 21:17 |
| mjrosenb | Release: 12.10 | 21:17 |
| spearhead | did you try and upgrade directly from 12.10 to 14.04? | 21:17 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: yes. | 21:17 |
| mjrosenb | err, maybe it was 12.04? | 21:18 |
| mjrosenb | it was an lts upgrade. | 21:18 |
| spearhead | interesting... cause 12.10 is eol... so it should have at least skipped it during an upgrade... is this computer connected to the internet? | 21:19 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: it was when I upgraded it. | 21:20 |
| mjrosenb | damn thing took near 3 hours. | 21:20 |
| jeeeeg | How can i change to virtualbox snapshot path from /media to another place? | 21:20 |
| daftykins | ask virtualbox support (: | 21:21 |
| spearhead | jeeeeg, i would try #vbox this is an ubuntu support channel | 21:22 |
| jeeeeg | okay thx :) | 21:22 |
| spearhead | mjrosenb, did you run do-release-upgrade to upgrade it? | 21:22 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: yes. | 21:22 |
| vanila | hi ubuntu! | 21:24 |
| vanila | How do I make my own ubuntu distro/variant? | 21:24 |
| spearhead | mjrosenb, it sounds like a bug... because 12.10 is after eol it should not have upgraded to it from 12.04. that being said you might have to connect it back to the internet and run it again to get to 14.04, if it lets you go that far, you might have to upgrade to 13.10 then 14.04 | 21:24 |
| noxvek | quit | 21:24 |
| tgm4883 | spearhead: not only should it not have upgraded to 12.10, it shouldn't have even been able to. The official repos don't have 12.10 anymore I believe | 21:25 |
| spearhead | no they don't I just had to upgrade from a 12.10 system and I had to add the outdated archives to the repos... | 21:26 |
| mjrosenb | there are like 10 kinds of wrong here. | 21:26 |
| tgm4883 | spearhead: exactly | 21:26 |
| tgm4883 | mjrosenb: were you using some other non-official repo? | 21:27 |
| mjrosenb | tgm4883: gooood question. | 21:27 |
| mjrosenb | FFFFF | 21:27 |
| mjrosenb | ok, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 21:28 |
| mjrosenb | system found. | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | mjrosenb: ? | 21:28 |
| mjrosenb | so, my old system was using /dev/sdb1 as root | 21:28 |
| mjrosenb | and somehow or other, the upgrade changed that to /dev/mmcblk0p2? | 21:28 |
| spearhead | that sounds like an sd card reader... | 21:28 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: yup. | 21:29 |
| spearhead | congratulations you have 14.04.1 installed on an sd card :) | 21:29 |
| mjrosenb | indeed! | 21:29 |
| mjrosenb | ok, | 21:29 |
| mjrosenb | now that I look deeper, maybe I migrated the system to the sd card sometime between october 2012 and now. | 21:30 |
| Neo31 | hello folks | 21:30 |
| Neo31 | please someone point me to UGJ channels | 21:30 |
| spearhead | mjrosenb, I just have to ask the question... Why? | 21:31 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: because it is a pandaboard, and the only thing it can boot off of is an sd card? | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | Neo31: UGJ? | 21:31 |
| mjrosenb | at least that is where the bootloader needs to be. | 21:31 |
| spearhead | mjrosenb, so why not put the bootloader on the sdcard and the os somewhere esle? | 21:31 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: that is what I did initially. | 21:32 |
| mjrosenb | it appears as if this procedure was deprecated by ubuntu? | 21:32 |
| mjrosenb | tbf, /home is on a usb drive | 21:32 |
| mjrosenb | and that is where most of the IO happens. | 21:32 |
| Neo31 | ubuntu global jam tgm4883 | 21:33 |
| spearhead | ummm... I have my system set up where the bootloader and boot partition are on a separate drive... | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | Neo31: #ubuntu-locoteams ? | 21:33 |
| Neo31 | ok | 21:33 |
| spearhead | Neo31, or maybe #ubuntu-us-oh if you are in Ohio | 21:34 |
| squinty | Neo31: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam#Do_you_meet_in_a_specific_place.2C_or_just_talk_on_irc.3F | 21:35 |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: and what bootloader do you use? | 21:36 |
| spearhead | grub2 | 21:36 |
| mjrosenb | right. evidently, uBoot was changed to make it rather hard to do that. | 21:36 |
| spearhead | oh ok... is uBoot required for the pandaboard? | 21:37 |
| * mjrosenb moves data around on his hard drives | 21:37 | |
| mjrosenb | spearhead: yes. | 21:37 |
| * mjrosenb showers while data is moving | 21:37 | |

| horriblecoders | darknessthekidd, The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu Studio 13.04 is 768 MB of memory. It is highly recommended that you have 2GB or more memory though so that the system will perform much better. More information about other recommended hardware on the new Ubuntu Studio website when it is released. | 23:35 |
