[00:00] but unpacking one shows that it has cryptsetup and the required lib/*.so files [00:00] i *may* just be able to copy those into place on the unpacked initrd.lz and then repack a new initrz.lz [00:00] mattxtn, less /var/log/cron or tail /var/log/cron to only view the last few lines [00:01] eeee: I can not, there is a line "_" flashing will not let me do anything, is this normal? [00:01] will do a happy dance if it turns out to be that easy but not holding out too much hope :) [00:02] thanks spearhead [00:02] wbgvewgbw: how big is the folder you're copying ? [00:02] type ls -ld /home/important [00:02] wbgvewgbw: nevermind [00:02] eeee: 10 GB maybe... [00:02] ok [00:02] There we go i am in trustry [00:02] so 14.04 [00:02] might be some time then [00:02] that wasnt too complicated [00:02] thanks theadmin [00:03] wbgvewgbw: if you want you can run cp -rv , and it will list the files as it copies [00:03] eeee: Is normal? [00:04] What is the name of the ppa entry for Google Chrome that I should be looking for in my Software Centre? [00:04] wbgvewgbw: many commands run "the UNIX way". They don't say you anything unless something goes wrong. [00:04] And while they are working, you get the empty caret. [00:05] If I had not enough space, it first or warn would give an error at the end? [00:05] At the end when it could not copy more. [00:05] hi, I've met a problem with my newly installed ubuntu 1404, i can't change desktop backgrounds or resize the launcher size. please help [00:05] wbgvewgbw: type df [00:05] You can make more space meanwhile if you need to. [00:05] that will list the available space on the flash drive [00:05] df -h list the space available in devices [00:06] rm deletes files (but be very careful not to delete anything important! This cannot be undone) [00:06] You can read this guide if you want to learn more about the shell http://linuxcommand.org/ [00:07] somebody, anybody? [00:07] 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] xk: how come you cannot change them? [00:08] 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] wad: tell it the default, usually /dev/sda [00:08] wad: leave the default one [00:08] ok [00:08] wad: wait, how come you have [00:09] a bunch of disks ? [00:09] I don't know what this 24GB thing is. [00:09] There is only one hard drive in here, sdb. [00:09] wad: maybe it's your pen. [00:09] you mean the USB drive? That's sdc. [00:09] wad: is it? [00:09] 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] ok [00:09] rufianw, any ideas? [00:10] wad: that seems kind of odd [00:10] 8GB, I see that in the list. [00:10] xk: if you messed your config, delete it and start from scratch. [00:10] Let me get to a prompt, and see if I can figure out what this sda is all about. [00:10] rufianw, you mean reinstall the whole system? [00:10] xk: not necessarily. [00:10] They are just files. [00:10] Usually in ~/.config [00:11] hi , what is the best device to stream from my pc to tv under ubuntu please ? [00:11] Or ~/.local/share [00:11] rufianw, can you be more specific please or any tips? [00:11] How can I tell what kind of stuff is on a partition? [00:11] You can search there for Unity-related things and peek a bit or delete the folders you think may be related to your problem. [00:12] 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] xk: Sorry, I cannot. [00:12] rufianw, ok, thaks, I'll try. [00:13] 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] He went away. [00:13] Ooooh... it's some sort of SSD cache device, perhaps? [00:14] 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] wad: what does sudo parted -l say about it? [00:14] * wad tries [00:15] Model: ATA LITEONIT LSS-24L (scsi) [00:15] Disk /dev/sda: 24.0GB [00:16] Okay, so I guess I don't want to put any kind of bootloaded on sda! [00:16] s/bootloaded/bootloader/ [00:16] I'll specify sdb then. [00:17] xk: type "man unity" in your terminal. Look at the command "unity --reset" [00:17] QuaxEros: that's been deprecated since forever === RyanK- is now known as RyanK [00:18] eeee: and replaced by what please? [00:18] setsid unity i guess [00:18] usually you'd run dconf -reset -f /org/compiz and then setsid unity [00:18] to reset it [00:18] What is setsid? [00:19] setsid - run a program in a new session [00:19] kx: see the answer of eeee above... [00:19] QuaxEros: he left :) [00:19] i think [00:20] Yep. [00:20] ah, missed that :) [00:20] Anyway, I'll take that into account in case some day I wreck a GTK3 thing. [00:21] On a side note, do Ubuntu bug reporting windows usually bug you? [00:21] This has been an issue for me in last versions. [00:22] They are quite annoying. [00:22] not really, you can remove them though, /etc/default/apport [00:22] rufianw, yes I quite agree the bug reports definately bug me... [00:23] Especially because there is something always which gets bugged. And the report wizard is not very good... [00:23] i just hit space [00:23] But cancelling it does not delete the issue. You have two messages again the next reeboot. [00:23] *reboot [00:24] space? [00:24] the space bar [00:24] How does that help with apport? [00:25] well, i filed a couple first ones [00:26] you mean, how does it help with apport by canceling them? [00:26] eae galera [00:27] if you press space bar, it'll just disappear, [00:29] After an today update to my Lubuntu 14.04.1 , the bcm 4311 stopped working suddently. When reboot appear this message at OS staring for a second : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8323050/ what happened? [00:29] rufianw: canceling them does resolve the issue usually, you could disable them completely if you wanted btw === spearhead is now known as djpianalto [00:29] eeee: it didn't for me :S [00:30] set enabled=0 , in /etc/default/apport [00:30] urielvigilant: firmware is missing it seems.

[00:59] 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] Hi [01:00] Anyone? [01:02] jacknjill: I found a pretty good guide by googling "install java 7 sun ubuntu" [01:02] you might try that [01:02] it's oracle, not sun - has been for years [01:03] yeah, also… that [01:04] jacknjill: did you find it? [01:04] they left [01:05] sad [01:05] jprs : what ppa did you use for oracle java 7 please ? [01:05] I just want to see if there is another than the one I used, as my java only seems to half work [01:06] rainbowwarrior: I didn't. I just used google. Sorry [01:06] ah ok [01:06] just trying to be helpful to newbies [01:06] and they just leave after 2min [01:06] sad [01:07] let me see what I have installed on my ubuntu box.

You probably do need #gitlab support as it's offtopic here [02:29] OK thanks [02:29] HikaruBG: you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic just in case though? [02:34] I'm still having issues with Xorg.

[02:43] hello [02:43] sydney, As opposed to signal. === marco is now known as Guest48671 [02:44] kcj[work]: Ok,im confused. ;) Whats the issue? Xorg is not working corectly with your graphics card? [02:44] do i have to run any additional command after installing a differen ram memory? [02:44] sydney, My config doesn't stick. [02:45] Guest48671: nope, the BIOS should pick it up [02:45] kcj[work]: oh [02:45] somsip: please don't send users to #ubuntu-offtopic for support. [02:45] this new kernel stuff has me baffeled. how do you make it leave the console (tty) video mode alone at boot time ? the old vga=ask is useless nowAdays [02:45] Guest48671: No [02:45] sydney, Look at 15.455 and 16.758 [02:46] sydney, I have no idea why it derails at 16.758. [02:46] yeats: my bios does pick it up, but when Ubuntu tries to use the memory it gets kernel panic [02:46] Resolution? What does 15.445 mean [02:46] sydney, Timestap in Xorg.0.log [02:47] See howw much i know :P [02:48] Guest48671: What version of ubuntu are you using?

[02:48] sydney: 14.04 LTS [02:48] !text | Guest48671 [02:48] Guest48671: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [02:49] Guest48671: I would recomend running memtest. [02:49] somsip was that for me ?

[02:52] sydney: nope. I'll try that! [02:52] Agent_bob: so the screen resolution is wrong? Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setupsudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [02:52] Guest48671: Hit shift in the grub screen,and it will show a list of stuff. ;) [02:53] Agent_bob: double paste - mouse is dying... [02:53] sydney: ok, I'll try that. Thank you! === grok is now known as Guest74530 [02:55] somsip yeah console (tty) sets from 80x25 to 170x50 the latter is unusable to me and i can't seem to figure out how to keep the former at boot time. [02:57] Agent_bob: other than dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, this could be a different approach to try http://forum.linuxcareer.com/threads/1661-Change-tty-font-size-with-Grub-2-boot-console-resolution [02:57] 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? [02:59] i was hopping that there might be something in /etc/defalut/console_setup or some such... ;' looking at the page now. [02:59] dpkg-reconfigure console-setup << promissing [03:02] ttyl :) [03:04] .... [03:04] somsip thank you ever so much. kernel pram "nomodeset" may be what i have been looking for. rebooting to test. thanks and gooday mate.

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [03:08] Any Tkinter programmers here? [03:08] jevan: #python would be better place to ask [03:08] somsip, they don't know [03:09] jevan: you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, but it's not really an #ubuntu support issue so the question doesn't belong here [03:11] somsip, ok, just asking around because there doesn't seem to be an irc dedicated to it. [03:11] jevan: yeah - I was surprised about that. Even more surprised that #python can't help. Try the offtopic channel, just in case. [03:13] somsip: yep, thanks... but how can I tell which I'm running? [03:13] somsip: again, PLEASE stop asking people to get support in #ubuntu-offtopic. [03:13] they both operate via the service bla start method, right? [03:14] somsip: ANY support questions related to ubuntu, doesn't matter if the software is in the repos or not, belong HERE. Thanks.

[03:16] BerenBarahir, easiest way is to install from the PPA [03:17] ObrienDave How do you do that? [03:17] phunyguy: Firstly, again? Sorry - missed the first request. Secondly, my apologies. I thought non-ubuntu question could be asked in offtopic. I stand corrected. [03:17] No worries. :) [03:18] BerenBarahir, google wine compholio PPA. follow the instructions [03:18] BerenBarahir, but PPA installs are not supported here. at your own risk [03:18] somsip: they can ask there, but please don't send them there as a catch-all..... [03:19] instead they should ask in a proper support forum. [03:19] if that is not IRC< so be it :) [03:19] s/ I askeed this in the kubuntu channel with no response: How do you install ttf-mscorefonts-installer using the command terminal? [03:20] BerenBarahir: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [03:20] 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 [03:21] somsip: it is perfectly OK to not answer a support question if you don't know the answer. ;) [03:22] 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] always polite of course, but yeah... [03:22] phunyguy: I do try to point people in the right direction when I'm in the mood, rather than leaving the question unanswered. I'll just stop referring them to -offtopic.

[03:27] ok [03:27] h [03:28] Does this command mount any hard drives? ...sudo mount -o remount / [03:28] 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? [03:29] Geo: have you followed that link in the factoid I sent initially? I think it takes you to some information about this eventually [03:30] I'm reading that and other pages... just trying to condense what I'm reading, versus what I've done previously [03:30] Geo: then I'll leave it to an upstart expert to reply [03:31] ie, the /getting-started.htm off that talks about creating jobs (.conf files) [03:31] lookie lookie :) Ubuntu question: the result of "hostname -d" is home.network... the question is: How to change it!?

[03:33] service foo start [03:33] start foo [03:33] whats the difference? [03:33] start foo is clearly upstart, what is service start foo? [03:33] Geo: sorry - that comment was meant for HikaruBG [03:34] HikaruBG: but read the comments as the guide is...sketchy === sins-_h is now known as sins- [03:35] ok, so service foo start is still using sysvinit. [03:35] if I'm using ubuntu, i'm not necessarily using upsart then :) [03:37] Geo: if so, then my understanding is flawed and previous advice might have been wrong [03:37] it seems start foo is upstart; service foo start is sysvinit. === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [03:41] What's the best beginner guide? === Guest-82832 is now known as zealottablet [03:42] you're in it LOL [03:43] :) [03:43] !manual | yousirwin [03:43] yousirwin: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

Most windows games need to be run in 32-bit mode, thus the installation of an i386 version of wine [04:25] E: Unable to locate package wine-compholio [04:25] Is this because I am running Kubuntu 14.04 off a live CD? [04:25] Are they accessing my hard drives? [04:26] Is there a way to receive notifications for a large program like Thunderbird without it being open and without using as much RAM? I tried to find a good extension for it, but none seem to exist. I was hoping that there is a solution within the OS... I am somewhat weary to give my credentials to a program, even if it is open-sourced. [04:26] *To a mail notification program [04:27] Which version is 14.04, is it Trusty? [04:27] I can't find Kubuntu 14.04 in the package list for Wine Compholio [04:29] Does anybody have wirless card that has the RTL8188EUS chipset working on ubuntu? [04:29] hey guys [04:29] im trying to use unity tweaker [04:30] and i keep getting packages that are missing, online everyone says use missing recommended in synaptic and install all of those [04:30] Do I need to download Wine-Compholio before I install it? [04:30] um how exactly do you use this, ive been searching this program, oh how i miss the command line [04:31] what all the init helps in ? [04:32] hey guys so has anyone used synaptic [04:32] How do I find and install multi-arch, ObrienDave ? [04:32] basically need to install "missing recommended" packages not included in apt-get install -f [04:33] Would Synaptic Package Manager help me install Wine-compholio as opposed to the Muon Software Centre? [04:34] BerenBarahir, same repos = same outcome [04:35] how to remove xubuntu completely? [04:35] What does multi-arch do? Could that help me install Wine-Compholio?

[04:37] mystogan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:37] yeah i use synatpic [04:37] great program [04:37] !multiarch [04:37] lol [04:37] mystogan, lubuntu = ubuntu + lxde desktop environment. kubuntu = ubuntu + kde [04:37] !flavors | mystogan [04:37] mystogan: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [04:37] I guess there is no solution to my problem? [04:37] :/ [04:38] cfhowlett, does lubuntu work fast? [04:38] they all work as fast as your computer allows [04:38] I am still having trouble installing wine-compholio [04:39] mystogan, lubuntu is optimized for older and lower spec hardware. xubuntu also flies quite well. I've found xubuntu to be quite nice on my 2009 laptop. YMMV [04:39] ubottu,cfhowlett which is the best for programming and for students? [04:39] BerenBarahir, sudo apt-get install multi-arch [04:39] BerenBarahir, sudo apt-get install wine-compholio:i386 [04:41] OK, bye. D: [04:41] cfhowlett, which is the best for programming and for students? [04:41] mystogan, "best" = no such thing. recommended perhaps. it depends on what they're learning/doing.

[04:44] mystogan: find what you like and use it [04:44] Because last time I installed Wine on my real OS, I had multiple problems [04:44] !find add-architecture [04:44] Package/file add-architecture does not exist in trusty [04:44] BerenBarahir: are you the guy from a couple weeks ago that insisted that wine broke the os [04:44] and I had to format my drive and reinstall my whole OS [04:44] mystogan, here's an easy way to test: sudo apt-get install xfce4 kd3 lxde then, logout/choose a different DE/login and test. If you find a preference, consider add that flavor's DE-desktop [04:45] Yes [04:45] BerenBarahir: you're just making it harder for yourself. wine can't do what you've described [04:45] * ObrienDave *shakes head, grumbles, mumbles profanities, and walks away* [04:45] cfhowlett,what does it do? [04:46] mystogan, ... "it" ... ??? [04:46] It worked the last time I tried it, but I was not running a live CD [04:46] i need to run some ubuntu virtual machines, but i don't want to waste resources [04:46] and the PC I was using was old. This is a newer and faster PC, so I figure Netflix will run faster [04:47] what are the minimal requirements of ubuntu? [04:47] BerenBarahir: you'll have much more success if you do things on your actual os [04:47] this PC uses NVIDIA graphics, so Netlfix should run smoother [04:47] !requirements | cablop [04:47] 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] cfhowlett, sudo apt-get install xfce4 kd3 lxde? [04:48] 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] Netflix works on WIndows XP, but it's not secure. I want to run it using ubuntu instead [04:49] cfhowlett, after testing will i be able to uninstall those which i dont want?
