[00:00] <Serraphyn> Additional Drivers System Testing Software and updates?
[00:00] <eeee> additional drivers
[00:01] <Tene> Can anyone tell me how to persuade apt-get to install the packages that actually are available when one listed package is not, instead of refusing to do anything?  --ignore-missing does not work.
[00:01] <Guest86008> 有说中文的吗？
[00:01] <Serraphyn> eeee: its searching for available drivers
[00:01] <Guest86008> 都是 英文的啊
[00:01] <Guest86008> 看不懂
[00:01] <eeee> !cn | Guest86008
[00:01] <Guest86008> 是啊
[00:02] <shibboleth> Tene: you could download the package with -d and force-install it with dpkg?
[00:02] <Guest86008> 挺不错的卡
[00:02] <Tene> shibboleth: That would be rather worse.  Clearly I can make it work when doing this by hand, but I'm trying to make our automation degrade more gracefully when there's a problem.
[00:02] <eeee> Tene: what do you mean are actually available? if you do apt-cache search <package> does it show up?
[00:02] <Guest86008> ubuntu very good
[00:03] <Serraphyn> eeee: it just finished and says using X.org X Server - AMD/ATI display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati(open source, tested)
[00:03] <Guest86008> 嘿
[00:03] <Guest86008> 嘿
[00:03] <Guest86008> boy
[00:03] <eeee> Serraphyn: ok, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati
[00:03] <Tene> eeee: Yes, we're having a problem when imaging new machines and trying to install the initial package set, *no* packages get installed if *any* package is not available, which happens occasionally due to staging repository problems, typos, etc.
[00:04] <Ben64> Guest86008: do you have an ubuntu support question? if not, you're not in the correct channel
[00:04] <Flannel> Tene: So, you're looking to install everything except the affected packages (and the packages that depend on them, obviously)
[00:05] <Serraphyn> eeee: thats done, reboot time?
[00:05] <Tene> Flannel: Yes, exactly.  I could change our automation to run 'apt-get install foo' separately for each package rather than listing all of them on one command invocation, but that would be rather slower.
[00:05] <Tene> Flannel: According to the man page, --ignore-missing should do what I want, but it does nothing.
[00:05] <balsaq> anyone know why i am getting n "error trying to remove the trash" when trying to empty my trash in ubuntu 1404?
[00:05] <balsaq> and how to fix it?
[00:06] <eeee> balsaq: what's the error?
[00:06] <Serraphyn> eeee: I didn't say it but there are 2 other options on the Additional Drivers page from fglrx and fglrx-updates
[00:06] <balsaq> just told u
[00:06] <eeee> Serraphyn: it's ok
[00:06] <camtron> Nautilus is super slow on my computer (Ubuntu 12.04, Nautilus 3.4.2). It takes 10 seconds just for the file manager to open after clicking the launcher icon, and often takes a long time to display all of the items in a folder. How can I find out what's slowing it down and fix it?
[00:06] <Serraphyn> eeee: That command completed, what would you like me to do now?
[00:07] <eeee> balsaq:  ls -la ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[00:07] <balsaq> "failed to delete item from the trash"
[00:07] <balsaq> wth is that
[00:07] <balsaq> haha
[00:07] <eeee> balsaq: are there any files that don't belong to you?
[00:07] <balsaq> haha um no i own evertything
[00:07] <camtron> And I'm not installing 14.04 because I tried it and it's unusably slow.
[00:07] <eeee> balsaq: did you run the command?
[00:07] <balsaq> what command
[00:07] <eeee> balsaq:  ls -la ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[00:07] <balsaq> ok ill try that
[00:08] <Serraphyn> eeee: since I changed the video driver stuff do I need to reboot?
[00:08] <balsaq> ok i ran it so now what
[00:08] <eeee> Serraphyn: wouldn't hurt
[00:08] <Serraphyn> eeee: okay rebooting it
[00:08] <shibboleth> Anyone else experiencing issues using 3rd-party gnome-shell extensions on 14.04?
[00:09] <Serraphyn> balsaq: I think the point was to see if any files in that ls -la where not owned by your login
[00:09] <eeee> balsaq: are any files owned by root or any user other than yours?
[00:09] <balsaq> i dont know what u mean i downloading these stupid OS files and now i wanna remove them so i should own it
[00:10] <Guest86008> can you communicate with chinese？
[00:10] <balsaq> they are simply linux OS files i want rid of
[00:10] <balsaq> iv e never been told i cant empty my trash
[00:10] <balsaq> buntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -la ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[00:10] <balsaq> total 8
[00:10] <balsaq> drwx------ 2 buntu buntu 4096 Sep  7 23:14 .
[00:10] <balsaq> drwx------ 5 buntu buntu 4096 Sep  2 02:35 ..
[00:11] <eeee> don't paste here
[00:11] <balsaq> omg no fix for this?
[00:11] <eeee> the owner is buntu, do any files have another user?
[00:11] <balsaq> im the onloy user
[00:11] <Guest86008> 都没人说中文啊？？？
[00:11] <Guest86008> 说中文啊
[00:11] <balsaq> and thats my log name
[00:11] <eeee> ok
[00:11] <Guest86008> 我们用的人比较多
[00:11] <balsaq> period
[00:11] <Guest86008> O你妹
[00:12] <Serraphyn> Guest86008: I'm pretty sure this is an english ONLY channel
[00:12] <balsaq> is there a power command to empty trash?
[00:12] <eeee> cd to the folder
[00:12] <eeee> hold on
[00:12] <balsaq> whats that mean
[00:13] <balsaq> ok its gone
[00:13] <balsaq> i know what now
[00:13] <Serraphyn> eeee: when I was looking for drivers, I found a System Testing application I'm gonna run too
[00:13] <balsaq> i had to remove theflash drive for some reason
[00:13] <balsaq> thanks eeee
[00:14] <eeee> np
[00:14] <SchitZen665> Just an update. I renamed .backrc.save to .backrc.save.bak removed all files in deja-dup from the first attempt and ran default backup again.. still got same error
[00:15] <eeee> Serraphyn: ok, did you try the dash?
[00:17] <Serraphyn> eeee: it seemed the same speed, Im going through this testing app that came with ubuntu and I'll let you know
[00:19] <eeee> Serraphyn: ok
[00:20] <eeee> Serraphyn: also, try to update the system, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:21] <Serraphyn> eeee: okay but I thought after I installe 14.04 I was upgraded to latest
[00:22] <litropy> How do I update /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 ?
[00:22] <eeee> Serraphyn: wouldn't hurt, this only updates the packages and kernel and such stuff, the ubuntu release will remain 14.04.1
[00:23] <litropy> Or, more generally, if apt-get doesn't recognize, for instance, libcrypto, how do I find out the package I need to update?
[00:25] <Serraphyn> eeee: okay it ran the command you stated, only upgraded a few things
[00:25] <Serraphyn> btw I installed htop to monitor system resources and it says I have 948/9362MB of memory used, so it sees it all I think
[00:27] <Serraphyn> eeee: do you think that this computer just can't handle linux?
[00:27] <eeee> i don't know, i had an old pc and it ran linux better than windows
[00:28] <eeee> i don't think ubuntu would put more of a load on it
[00:28] <eeee> than windows would
[00:28] <Serraphyn> memory wise its using like 1/3 what windows does just sitting there
[00:29] <Serraphyn> and idling I see only like 3% on each processor core
[00:30] <Serraphyn> Thats why I was thinking it was a driver issue, like it doesn't see the SATA chipset correctly or something
[00:30] <Ben64> Serraphyn: what problem are you encountering
[00:31] <Serraphyn> Ben64: everything seems very slow, like when I click on the menu button(Dashboard I think) it takes 2 - 4 seconds to load, can be(not always) very slow like 1 - 3 seconds per typed character for them to show up.
[00:31] <Ben64> when its installed or in the live cd
[00:31] <Serraphyn> Ben64: Also my wifi signal strength is about 50% where as in windows it was 95%
[00:32] <Serraphyn> Ben64: This is a fully installed (yesterday) and updated system(5 minutes ago fully updated)
[00:33] <Serraphyn> The system is an AMD A6-5400 2.0GHz with 10GB of Ram, 1TB hdd and a 8400 Radeon HD Card(via HDMI)
[00:33] <Serraphyn> oops, wrong stat, AMD A6-5200
[00:33] <wdoi> hi
[00:34] <litropy> Serraphyn, perhaps your issue is driver-oriented for both your symptoms. I'd consider switching to the open-source driver for your GPU. Furthermore, it's possible that Windows reports a higher signal than your true signal. Unless you're seeing the actual dB measurement.
[00:34] <wdoi> i can't su - myuser
[00:34] <wdoi> why?
[00:34] <wdoi> i still getting root
[00:34] <litropy> Otherwise, that's almost certainly a drive rissue as well.
[00:34] <Ben64> wdoi: what are you trying to accomplish
[00:34] <wdoi> Ben64
[00:34] <wdoi> root@debianserver:~# su - mumble-server root@debianserver:~#
[00:34] <litropy> If apt-get doesn't recognize, for instance, libcrypto, how do I find out the package I need to update?
[00:34] <wdoi> root@debianserver:~# su - mumble-server
[00:34] <wdoi> root@debianserver:~#
[00:35] <Serraphyn> litropy: open source driver? If you mean in additional drivers eeee already took me there and I am using open source drivers for video
[00:35] <wdoi> still in root
[00:35] <Ben64> wdoi: debian?
[00:35] <wdoi> yes
[00:35] <cfhowlett> !debian | wdoi,
[00:35] <Ben64> this is #ubuntu
[00:35] <wdoi> sorry Ben64
[00:35] <wdoi> #debian is full
[00:35] <wdoi> :S
[00:35] <wdoi> i really need access this user
[00:35] <cfhowlett> wdoi, #debian is your channel.
[00:36] <Serraphyn> litropy: maybe I should try one of the other 2 drivers available, like the fglrx one?
[00:36] <wdoi> cfhowlett: Ben64 told me to come
[00:36] <cfhowlett> wdoi, ben64 also advised you that you should be asking #debian about debian issues
[00:37] <eeee> Serraphyn: usually the open source drivers work best, but give it a shot
[00:37] <litropy> Serraphyn, yes, you may try that. Be sure to back up any information you want to keep --- video driver switching is sometimes gnarly if you don't know what you're doing. But many times, it's very easy.
[00:37] <Serraphyn> eeee: just changing options took 3 seconds(clicking the button next to Using Video Driver
[00:37] <Serraphyn> nothing on this pc yet since its so pokey
[00:37] <litropy> Serraphyn, but yeah. I'd go open source with vid.
[00:38] <eeee> Serraphyn: it should download the driver, takes a bit
[00:38] <eeee> Serraphyn: did you close on close?
[00:38] <eeee> *click on close
[00:39] <Serraphyn> eeee: I clicked apply am waiting for it to finish then close
[00:39] <eeee> ok
[00:41] <Serraphyn> eeee: rebooting it now
[00:42] <eeee> Serraphyn: ok
[00:42] <Serraphyn> I used ubuntu back when 12.04 first came out on a laptop and it seemed 10x faster then this is
[00:43] <eeee> Serraphyn: something is wrong, 14.04 is quicker than 12.04
[00:43] <Serraphyn> umm it was the video driver
[00:44] <Serraphyn> its crazy fast now
[00:44] <eeee> great!
[00:45] <Serraphyn> Dashboard loads in less then 1 second
[00:47] <Serraphyn> Do you guys have recommendations on security and maybe utilities for things like a graphic version of htop?
[00:47] <eeee> Serraphyn: system monitor is pretty good,
[00:47] <eeee> dash > system monitor
[00:48] <SchrodingersScat> screenlets? that's as gui as i can think of
[00:48] <SchrodingersScat> conky?
[00:48] <Serraphyn> screenlets? is that like apps(for windows?)
[00:49] <isene> conky
[00:49] <evan2645> hi people. quick and easy question. how is dhclient invoked during boot on 14.04?? can't find init script or upstart configuration for neither dhclient or network-manager
[00:50] <sexyboy> yeah, conky is good
[00:51] <Serraphyn> how do I install conky?
[00:52] <Serraphyn> when I search in dashboard nothing comes up
[00:52] <SchrodingersScat> !info screenlets | Serraphyn: possible, it's been so long since i've used one of those.
[00:54] <Serraphyn> SchrodingersScat: that is sorta helpful, but its not super clear on how to install them
[00:54] <OerHeks> 1001+ conky examples http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[00:54] <OerHeks> *pages
[00:54] <eeee> Serraphyn: sudo apt-get install conky-all , iirc
[00:55] <eeee> Serraphyn: you can use the terminal to search and install software, or software center
[00:55] <eeee> Serraphyn: you also need to enable the universe repository, dash > software & updates > click on the universe repository
[00:57] <Serraphyn> eeee: thats already checked
[00:57] <evan2645> i guess my question wasn't so easy after all...
[00:57] <Serraphyn> OerHeks: to view the jpgs I have to register for the forums?
[00:59] <OerHeks> Serraphyn, yes, i guess so too, but that is also free.
[00:59] <Serraphyn> OerHeks: just trying to find the actual signup link is a bit of work
[00:59] <eeee> evan2645: what are you trying to achieve?
[01:00] <OerHeks> https://login.ubuntu.com/+login and right top corner login/create account
[01:01] <eeee> evan2645: if you want something to run before dhclient, put it in the dispatcher.d in /etc/NetworkManager
[01:04] <evan2645> @eeee i'm trying to reload the service after having modified it's configuration
[01:04] <eeee> evan2645: reload network-manager?
[01:04] <Serraphyn> Wow this conky thing looks complicated but cool
[01:04] <eeee> evan2645: sudo service network-manager restart
[01:05] <evan2645> [sudo] password for evan:
[01:05] <evan2645> network-manager: unrecognized service
[01:05] <evan2645> i'm running ubuntu server w/ the minimal meta-package
[01:05] <evan2645> trusty
[01:05] <evan2645> i couldn't find network-manager init scripts/configuration anywhere either
[01:06] <Serraphyn> Oh wow the last Conky thing I see running looks like my Mac ... wow it really rebrands things?
[01:06] <evan2645> so something else must be invoking it
[01:07] <OerHeks> Serraphyn, maybe this page is any help, though i'd like to write my own conky > http://www.webupd8.org/2014/06/conky-manager-gets-revamped-ui-new.html
[01:07] <eeee> evan2645: initctl restart network-manager
[01:07] <eeee> try that
[01:07] <Bashing-om> evan2645: server install eill not have network-manager, but not sure how networking is contolled. maybe like -> ifconfig eth0 up <- .
[01:07] <eeee> evan2645: initctl --system restart network-manager
[01:09] <eeee> evan2645:  /etc/init.d/networking restart , maybe?
[01:10] <Bashing-om> evan2645: for reference:  dpkg -l network-manager >> un  network-manage <none>       <none>       (no description available) , on my system.
[01:20] <spearhead> eeee, Bashing-om, for reference apparently dhclient is run by ifup whenever it sees an interface configured with the dhcp method in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:25] <felipe__> hi
[01:25] <blackangelpr> hola felipe , hi there
[01:25] <felipe__> what's up?
[01:30] <Bashing-om> spearhead: Perhaps so in c aconventional desk top. I do not have dhclient or dhcp-client installed, My network interface is controlled from "/etc/network/interfaces" -> auto eth1 , iface eth1 inet dhcp. (??).

[01:50] <snuggyfoo> I just installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 and when the install finished it rebooted to a "GRUB" prompt. Pressing return enters the boot menu, but I'd like it to just go straight to the menu automatically (running headless)
[01:50] <snuggyfoo> Any suggestions to make that happen? I've never dealt with this happening
[01:53] <blackangelpr> snuggyfoo, this shows you how to hide grub   http://www.scrollstory.com/linux/hide-grub-boot-menu-ubuntu-14-04/1315/

[02:03] <litropy> If a packege is in both the standard repo, and also in a ppa I added, how do I tell apt-get to use the ppa?
[02:03] <cfhowlett> !addppa | litropy,
[02:04] <cfhowlett> !ppa
[02:05] <litropy> Serraphyn, glad you worked it out.
[02:06] <litropy> cfhowlett, I mean, I already did this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/surfernsk/internet-software/ubuntu precise main
[02:07] <cfhowlett> litropy, I misunderstood the question.  You want BOTH versions or to prioritize the PPA?
[02:07] <litropy> cfhowlett, the latter
[02:09] <eeee> litropy: you can simulate an apt-get install, sudo apt-get -s install <package>
[02:10] <eeee> it should say which one it'll download
[02:10] <eeee> if you want to specify a package version you could do sudo apt-get install <package>=<version> , i think
[02:10] <eeee> i'm sure there's a better way though
[02:11] <litropy> eeee, yah it's dl'ing the wrong one
[02:11] <bmsatierf> Hi! I need to create a VirtualBox image with Ubuntu, to share this image with some students, so I can teach some basics of Python to them. I'm about to start the creation process, but I'm wondering what would be the minimum disk size. VirtualBox suggests 8GB, but maybe I could decrease it a bit.
[02:11] <bmsatierf> Any idea what would be the minimal disk space for a Ubuntu 14.04 install?
[02:12] <eeee> bmsatierf: just use a dynamically allocated drive
[02:12] <eeee> it'll grow as required
[02:12] <cfhowlett> bmsatierf, if you are concerned over space, try lubuntu or xubuntu instead.  default install will run about 7 Gb
[02:12] <bmsatierf> eeee: hm that makes sense
[02:12] <bmsatierf> cfhowlett: I'll check it out, thanks
[02:13] <litropy> bmsatierf, +1 eeee
[02:13] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu | bmsatierf,
[02:13] <litropy> that works, too.
[02:14] <bmsatierf> Awesome, thank you!
[02:15] <litropy> Hm. It's not even finding my ppa. Weird.
[02:16] <krismaguire> Good evening lubuntu
[02:17] <litropy> Oh. that's why. deb-src command not found?
[02:19] <eeee> litropy: what did you mean by you did deb ..... earlier?
[02:19] <litropy> Omg. It really has been that long. I know what to do ...
[02:19] <litropy> I was uh ...
[02:19]  * litropy coughs
[02:20] <litropy> putting the deb lines in Terminal
[02:21]  * litropy puts on his dunce hat
[02:27] <Yotsu> Hi
[02:27] <eeee> hi
[02:27] <litropy> NOpe, it's still not seeing the version from the ppa
[02:28] <zipc> i'm booting the old kernel because i got some errors on the new kernel saying 'attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0'
[02:28] <eeee> litropy: deb-src doesn't matter, it's for downloading the source
[02:28] <eeee> (if you request downloading the source)
[02:28] <litropy> eeee, I hear ya
[02:29] <eeee> litropy: you should have a ppa added in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[02:29] <litropy> eeee, I do.
[02:30] <eeee> did you sudo apt-get update afterwards?
[02:30] <litropy> eeee, I spoke too soon. Weird, it's not there
[02:31] <zipc> eeee: whats the cause of this error? 'attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0'
[02:31] <litropy> I did apt-get update
[02:34] <eeee> do echo "deb ......" | sudo tee <ppa name>.list
[02:36] <eeee> zipc: no idea sorry

[02:55] <eeee> not sure what you're asking
[02:55] <eeee> what are you trying to achieve?
[02:56] <litropy> Man. This is refusing to work. It's definitely in the sources now, because when I gksu sources.list, add it, and then add it, it tells me it found a duplicate source in /var/lib/apt/lists (which it is there). YET! it can't find the version within that ppa.
[02:56] <litropy> -and then add it
[02:58] <Quanitbility> Ben64 how?
[02:58] <Flannel> litropy: What package are you looking for?

[02:59] <SchrodingersScat> jshriver: there's 'while' 'until' 'for'
[02:59] <Flannel> litropy: what version of OS? amd64? i386?
[03:00] <boris> does any one know a fix for this :)
[03:00] <litropy> Flannel, i386
[03:00] <Flannel> litropy: libtorrent-rasterbar6 doesn't exist in that PPA.
[03:00] <litropy> Flannel, I should say apt-get can't find that version. it keeps trying to install from another source
[03:00] <Bashing-om> litropy: tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ??
[03:00] <Jeffrey_f> boris: USB or PS2 (does anyone even have a PS2 kb anymore??)
[03:01] <Flannel> litropy: On top of that, the depends in there seem to want libtorrent-rasterbar7 (which also doesn't seem to exist in that PPA)

[03:05] <ldiamond> Anyone know a good way to find out what's taking so much ram? https://gist.github.com/lewisdiamond/4fa8eacb58240dbf9452
[03:05] <litropy> ldiamond, htop
[03:05] <ldiamond> Somehow 7GB used by applications, Xchat, 1 terminal and Chrome
[03:06] <ldiamond> litropy, yea it doesn't really add up. Do you know if the kernel keeps all the shared libs loaded outside of buffers and caches?
[03:07] <litropy> ldiamond, that's beyond me. But it doesn't sound likely.
[03:09] <litropy> Finally got it working. Thx eeee, Flannel, all.
[03:09] <litropy> that sudo apt-get [package]=[version] really got me on the right track.
[03:10] <eeee> glad it worked out
[03:11] <spearhead> ldiamond, you can use top to view running processes but htop (not installed by default) is better and you can organize by percent used ram
[03:11] <Geo> If I drop a file in /etc/cron.d , do I need to reload anything to get it to run, or does cron automatically monitor that dir?
[03:11] <ldiamond> spearhead, yea I've been looking at those, but it doesn't add up
[03:11] <eeee> Geo: use crontab -e , it's better
[03:11] <Geo> thanks, but not what I'm asking here :)
[03:12] <spearhead> ldiamond, if you run htop hit F6 and select MEM% then post a screenshot
[03:12] <eeee> Geo: well, someone tried that, and it wouldn't run, something to do with anacron or something
[03:12] <eeee> Geo: just a heads up :)
[03:14] <buu> Hey, I'm on more or less the latest ubuntu and I've somehowgot a program that popups when I insert a dvd, I thought it was called totem but I can't find a totem package installed, is there anyway to verify
[03:15] <Name141-> Is there a way to disable a NIC ?
[03:16] <Name141-> one you aren't using, like the internal one
[03:16] <Geo> Name141-: ifconfig to figure out the interface name for that NIC, then ifconfig <interface> down
[03:16] <spearhead> Name141-, or ifdown <interface>
[03:16] <Name141-> Geo: Each boot ?
[03:16] <Geo> you didnt ask that :P
[03:17] <spearhead> Name141-, but keep the loopback interface up, it is needed by several internal processes
[03:17] <Geo> oh, if by internal you mean lo , you definitely want that up
[03:18] <Quanitbility> this saddens me,
[03:18] <spearhead> Name141-, the interfaces that are brought up at boot are defined by the /etc/network/interfaces file read about it by running man interfaces
[03:18] <Geo> Name141-, I dont mess with the GUI stuff, but you'd have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and make sure your desired interface is added there, and your non-desired one is removed.
[03:18] <Quanitbility> i really think i should go back to windows though i may go to jail..
[03:18] <ldiamond> spearhead, 1 sec.
[03:19] <Name141-> the /etc/network/interfaces only shows: auto lo
[03:19] <Name141-> iface lo intet loopback
[03:19] <Name141-> (end)
[03:19] <spearhead> Name141-, yeah, leave that one alone
[03:19] <Jeffrey_f> Quanitbility: Going back to windows IS JAIL.  Just sayin
[03:20] <buu> So anyway, dvd program.. how to find it..?
[03:21] <Geo> If I drop a file in /etc/cron.d , do I need to reload anything to get it to run, or does cron automatically monitor that dir?
[03:21] <Name141-> It's weird. eth0 has all the nessessary information, but the machine is acting offline.
[03:21] <sydney> How do i set a root password?
[03:21] <cfhowlett> !root | sydney
[03:21] <spearhead> Name141-, if that is all that is in there then you will probably have to edit them in the GUI, I think you right click on the network icon in the notification panel and select Edit Connections...
[03:22] <spearhead> cfhowlett, ubbotu is on the other side of the netsplit
[03:22] <cfhowlett> spearhead, ah, is THAT mess happening?  Thanks.
[03:22] <sydney> !ubottu
[03:22] <sydney> hm :0
[03:23] <Jeffrey_f> someone unplugged ubottu
[03:23] <Name141-> spearhead: I don't understand it .  I can't get to the modem's page of 192.168.100.1 either.
[03:23] <Name141-> spearhead: but eth0 is filled in right
[03:23] <spearhead> sydney, Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.…y/RootSudo
[03:24] <spearhead> There is what it would ahve responded though
[03:24] <sydney> yes,i used to have a root password for those time someone broke the system
[03:25] <sydney> oh well,nevermind then ;)
[03:25] <spearhead> Name141-, are you sure it is 192.168.100.1? what is your ip address?
[03:25] <eeee> sydney: you can still get root easily if you get locked out
[03:25] <sydney> a tty?
[03:25] <spearhead> sydney, you can set/change/remove the root password with sudo passwd root
[03:25] <Name141-> spearhead: Yeah, that's the ViaSat modem page
[03:26] <eeee> no, add init=/bin/bash to the cmdline and execute it
[03:26] <spearhead> read the man page for passwd
[03:26] <sydney> oh,ok. i was just curious. ;)
[03:26] <eeee> ( in grub )
[03:26] <OerHeks> !dvd > buu
[03:26] <ldiamond> spearhead, I just found out that there was tens or even hundred of a python process coming from a lib I use for dev. Killed all of those and got my memory back!
[03:26] <OerHeks> !dvd
[03:26] <spearhead> ldiamond, awesome :) yeah that is why htop is so great
[03:27] <eeee> you'll get a root shell, remount as rw, and then you can edit as usual
[03:27] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, ubottu seems to be held for ransom via netsplit
[03:27] <spearhead> OerHeks, ubottu is still down due to netsplit
[03:27] <Name141-> spearhead: inet addr is what it should be , Bcast is from the ISP too , mask is 255.255.248.0
[03:27] <Name141-> on eth0
[03:27] <OerHeks> thanks
[03:27] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[03:27] <Name141-> Is there somethig I'm missing here?
[03:28] <spearhead> OerHeks, buu, Here is the !dvd response "Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.…layingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.…reeFormats"
[03:28] <spearhead> unfortuantely the hyperlinks don't work
[03:29] <spearhead> Name141-, networks are almost impossible to troubleshoot remotely...
[03:33] <buu> spearhead: Um. Ok, but something is playing them and I want to make it die
[03:33] <buu> Suggestions on figuring that out?
[03:33] <buu> I could have sworn it was totem
[03:33] <eeee> buu: try top
[03:35] <buu> It was parole
[03:35] <buu> Problem solved.
[03:39] <Name141-> spearhead: now it works.. weird.
[03:39] <Name141-> maybe something with the modem and linux?

[04:12] <slbtc> hey guys I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying to dual boot debian with windows 8.1 and I'm stuck it requires me to go into ubuntu and there's a part where you're suppose to update/download sources.list and there's an IP address to go to but it doesn't exist or work for me how do I get sources.list updated?
[04:13] <slbtc> here's the instructions I'm following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLlOd-a2wG0&html5=1
[04:13] <slbtc> I'm near the end where I'm required to update sources-list and reinstall grub then edit grub sources.list
[04:14] <Guest65829> peach12DD
[04:15] <slbtc> in other words for me to get debian to work along side of windows 8.1 I had to go into ubuntu desktop which I'm in now and reinstall grub and change settings. so if that clears things up as to what I need that involves help. also the website that was used is 10.1.33.241:8080 says page not found
[04:24] <slbtc> is there an alternative to 10.1.33.241:8080 to get sources.list directory?
[04:25] <Sabel> Does anyone here have experience or knowledge in installing ubuntu on a chromebook? i already have it installed im just having trouble setting up a dual boot..also having trouble getting it to boot into ubuntu sense i've restarted it.

[04:25] <Sabel> hatever its called im not sure to be the first in line to boot?
[04:25] <FailFarm> hello everyone
[04:26] <Sabel> I've tried using this helpfull guide here http://askubuntu.com/questions/407167/how-do-i-access-ubuntu-on-acer-chromebook-after-installation but my partitions..(sorry if that's the wrong term i come from windows and like i said i'm new) arent named like "normal" as im told by a friend who already tried to help a bit.

[04:30] <Sabel> who already tried to help a bit.
[04:31] <slbtc> Sabel: I'm not getting any answer for my question either :/
[04:32] <slbtc> Sabel: would you happen to know anything about what happened to the IP address 10.1.33.241:8080 for sources list directory?
[04:33] <slbtc> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLlOd-a2wG0&html5=1 I'm following these instructions and I'm stuck towards the end..
[04:34] <Ben64> slbtc: why are you talking about 10.1.33.241 ??? 10.* is non routable
[04:35] <slbtc> well it worked for the guy doing the tutorial
[04:36] <slbtc> Ben64: I'm trying to dual boot with windows 8.1 I need sources.list package to help me reinstall grub and configure it
[04:36] <Ben64> slbtc: highly unlikely, anyway that video is titled "Install Debian..." so you should probably head to the debian channel, since this is for ubuntu support only
[04:37] <Sabel> sorry. i'm basically no help
[04:37] <slbtc> Ben64: but it says you have to use ubuntu's desktop
[04:37] <Code|Teal> so I am googling this and asking in grub and figured that I would ask in here just in case...
[04:37] <Code|Teal> just installed ubuntu server on this machien and boots into grub rescue with "unknown extent" error
[04:38] <Code|Teal> I can ls into dirs, but if I try to ls /boot, it kicks that unknown extent error at me
[04:38] <Ben64> slbtc: i don't see how installing debian with windows 8.1 relates to ubuntu support at all. if you like to follow youtube tutorials, you're on your own. get support for debian in #debian
[04:40] <slbtc> Ben64: Ok.. I'm on debian's IRC channel also.
[04:41] <bigboppercrg> Go Chiefs!
[04:47] <ashadiqi> hi everyone, is it okay to remove ubuntu software center after installing appgrid?
[04:50] <mjrosenb> ok, what is a reason that getty would not be started on my serial console?
[04:53] <phunyguy> ashadiqi: then be more patient. You asked 5 minutes ago.
[04:53] <phunyguy> :)
[04:54] <phunyguy> meant that for -offtopic, but I guess here works too
[04:54] <mjrosenb> ok, /sbin/getty -8 115299 ttyO2, does that know to look at /dev/ttyO2?
[04:56] <blackyboy> Always i have to do a upgrade using sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade how can i set this automatically to update once a day in ubuntu 14.04 ?
[04:56] <mjrosenb> correspondingly, does /sbin/getty -8 115200 /dev/ttyO2 know to /not/ prepend /dev?
[04:57] <mjrosenb> blackyboy: sounds like you want a cron job.
[04:57] <blackyboy> mjrosenb: with out cronjob any way there ?
[04:57] <Mr_Queue> blackyboy: apt-get install unattended-upgrades -y ; dpkg -plow unattended-upgrades
[04:57] <dw1> anyone know any tools to detect duplicate frames in videos?
[04:58] <mjrosenb> dw1: you could use ffmpeg/mplayer to dump them to a series of images, then compare successive images.
[04:58] <Mr_Queue> dw1: That's not for a distro, but there are perl scripts out there that would be able to do it.
[04:58] <dw1> hmm
[04:58] <blackyboy> oh not flood
[04:58] <blackyboy> oh no
[04:59] <mjrosenb> dw1: although you probably only need to look at keyframes? if two consecutive keyframes are different, the chances of sub-frames being different is low.
[04:59]  * dw1 loves irssi sb levelclear to clean it all up :)
[04:59] <Mr_Queue> That nick flooder in here? I don't see any of it.
[04:59] <dw1> mjrosenb: k
[05:00]  * mjrosenb never understood why people cleared their history.
[05:00] <dw1> i just clear joins and stuff sometimes on busy channels :)
[05:00] <Mr_Queue> I don't see anything that a human didn't type..
[05:00] <Mr_Queue> Don't give a shit about the rest.
[05:01] <dw1> Mr_Queue: ill try to find some
[05:01] <mdev> why does chmod -R 700 /home/user succcesfully prevent my sudo user from visiting that directory, yet I can sudo nano /home/user/testfile
[05:01] <Mr_Queue> dw1: No, don't bother, I don't care.
[05:02] <dw1> Mr_Queue: i meant perl video scripts
[05:02] <mdev> only owner shold be able to do that
[05:02] <mdev> makes no sense
[05:02] <Mr_Queue> dw1: ok.
[05:02] <blackyboy> Mr_Queue: tried this sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades -y  its say already package was installed, but every time i have to do the manual command for update my system.
[05:02] <xangua> !language | Mr_Queue
[05:02] <mdev> ls -l shows all files belong to non-sudo users as owner, as they should
[05:02] <mdev> so I don't get why it blocks sudo user correctly from changing to that directory, but not opening a file in there
[05:02] <Mr_Queue> blackyboy: Read the man page, by default it will only apply security upgrades, nothing else.
[05:02] <warsoul> can i install ubuntu using virtualbox in my mac?
[05:03] <Mr_Queue> blackyboy: Which means it has a config file you will need to tune.
[05:03]  * Mr_Queue exec's /ignore xangua
[05:04] <blackyboy> Mr_Queue: ok let me go through man page thanks
[05:04] <Mr_Queue> blackyboy: only taking security updates by default is a good way to go.
[05:04] <blackyboy> ok
[05:07] <Mr_Queue> warsoul: Yep, have fun!
[05:07] <warsoul> but i could keep using my osx normally
[05:08] <Mr_Queue> Yes, and you should head over to VB's channel.
[05:08] <warsoul> without erasing nothing
[05:08] <Mr_Queue> ....
[05:08] <warsoul> do you know any?
[05:08] <mjrosenb> does anyone know of a tool to edit extended attributes, particularly one with kde/dolphin integration?
[05:08] <Mr_Queue> I know everything. I'm actually a symlink to google and every project ever created on the internet.
[05:09] <warsoul> nice
[05:09] <warsoul> i wont lose my files
[05:09] <warsoul> and could use my osx normally?
[05:10] <bentinata> !help
[05:10] <bentinata> Sorry, what's off-topic channel is?
[05:11] <mjrosenb> ok, and completely unrelated
[05:11] <mjrosenb> is there a way to set my mac address asap?
[05:11] <Mr_Queue> macchanger
[05:11] <Mr_Queue> And before you ask...
[05:11] <Mr_Queue> It comes with a manual.
[05:13] <warsoul> Mr_Queue thanks
[05:13] <bentinata> Mr_Queue, macchanger isn't available for default, though.
[05:13] <Mr_Queue> That doesn't matter at all.
[05:13] <mjrosenb> Mr_Queue: wait, there isn't a way in the default distribution?
[05:13]  * mjrosenb was expecting to stick a couple of lines into /etc somewhere.
[05:13] <Mr_Queue> You can.
[05:14] <Mr_Queue> Start with macchanger, and then go from there.
[05:14] <bentinata> Anyone have Oneplus One? :(
[05:14] <bentinata> I want it.
[05:15] <warsoul> Mr_queue whats the difference between ubuntu redhat opensuse freebsd debian etc...
[05:17] <Mr_Queue> The difference between ubuntu redhat opensuse freebsd debian etc is where the money went.
[05:17] <bentinata> warsoul, Kernel, default packages, etc...
[05:18] <Mr_Queue> mjrosenb: http://paste.debian.net/120649/
[05:18] <Mr_Queue> Key there it the homepage URL.
[05:19] <warsoul> for you witch is the best distro and most stable
[05:19] <mjrosenb> Mr_Queue: yes, I found it, I just would prefer to not use it.
[05:19] <bentinata> warsoul, Slackware.
[05:19] <Mr_Queue> warsoul: The one that keeps my bills paid.
[05:19] <warsoul> lol
[05:19] <Mr_Queue> mjrosenb: Well, every now and then someone builds a better wheel.
[05:20] <warsoul> help me out dont be mean lol
[05:20] <Mr_Queue> It's a perfect answer warsoul.
[05:20] <Code|Teal> so I fat-fingered my login during install.. There a way to fix this?
[05:21] <warsoul> bentinata you use slackware?
[05:21] <BQ> 14.04: after I added another language via language settings, IME is not shown. Also the language settings is gone.
[05:21] <Mr_Queue> Code|Teal: Yep.
[05:21] <Code|Teal> off to the google I go
[05:22] <Mr_Queue> Code|Teal: There are probably a dozen ways to do it.
[05:22] <Code|Teal> haha, got the thing to boot finally and my login is wrong
[05:22] <Mr_Queue> Just reinstall it.
[05:22] <Code|Teal> was going for a quicker route
[05:22] <BQ> how do I get back the language setting?
[05:22] <Mr_Queue> There are ways to fix the running system, but you won't finish finding the answer on google in the race of the reinstall.
[05:23] <Mr_Queue> Code|Teal: And the answer isn't just a simple oneliner to get you going.
[05:23] <Code|Teal> I figured as much
[05:23] <Mr_Queue> Save all that reading for a day on your working system.
[05:25]  * mjrosenb wonders how his recent user-shenanigans have affected unity
[05:28] <HideMe> Anyone know how to enable digital output (s/pdif) 5.1 channel audio?
[05:30] <bentinata> warsoul, not currently.
[05:41] <teaearlgraycold> So I just put Ubuntu 14.04.1 on my server and run apt-get update/upgrade. Now it's stuck on updating the kernal (I think) update-intramfs something something. ^C causes no response. What do?
[05:42] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: "update-initramfs" can take some time to complete
[05:42] <teaearlgraycold> Really?
[05:42] <teaearlgraycold> It's been like... 10 minutes
[05:42] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: That's a bit ... excessive!
[05:43] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Are you able to open another shell, or console, to check what processes are running
[05:43] <teaearlgraycold> I can either try to figure out its DHCP address or do the Ctrl+Alt+F3 thing.
[05:44] <mjrosenb> Mr_Queue: ok, got it working by adding one line to /etc, without installing that dumb utility :-)
[05:44] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: if you're in front of it, Ctrl+Alt+F2 through F6 will give you another VT
[05:44] <teaearlgraycold> I'm not in front of it. It's in the basement.
[05:45] <teaearlgraycold> So I'll try to sweep through the lower bit of the subnet
[05:45] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Did you run 'screen' or 'tmux' on the shell that you're currently accessing?
[05:45] <teaearlgraycold> No
[05:45] <teaearlgraycold> I literally just installed the OS
[05:45] <teaearlgraycold> And then ran the commands sudo apt-get update
[05:46] <teaearlgraycold> And apt-get upgrade
[05:46] <mjrosenb> teaearlgraycold: you can also pause that command, then run ifconfig to figure out the ip address.
[05:46] <teaearlgraycold> How would I pause it?
[05:46] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: You could try suspending the process Ctrl+Z
[05:46] <teaearlgraycold> Okay, bbl
[05:47] <Mr_Queue> mjrosenb: Cool. Told you.
[05:48] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, okay I have SSH open
[05:48] <teaearlgraycold> Ctrl+Z did nothing
[05:48] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: find out the command-line that update-initramfs is using: "ps -efly | grep initramfs"
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> is there a way to log the booting text (F1) to see whats happening?
[05:50] <bentinata> mjrosenb, how?
[05:50] <Mr_Queue> lotuspsychje: yes, google that. You can turn it on and it will get logged to /var
[05:50] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, http://i.imgur.com/A28TEQw.png
[05:50] <mjrosenb> lotuspsychje: most of it is available via dmesg.
[05:50] <Mr_Queue> actually /var/log/
[05:50] <mjrosenb> bentinata: how what?
[05:51] <Mr_Queue> teaearlgraycold: strace the PID and see what it's doing.
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> mjrosenb: i want to see the exact text it says at boot
[05:51] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Well, the update-initramfs process appears to have completed
[05:51] <teaearlgraycold> Mr_Queue, not sure which number is the PID
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> mjrosenb: not only the dmesq errors
[05:51] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: "pastebinit < <(ps -efly)" please
[05:51] <Mr_Queue> teaearlgraycold: ps will get it for you
[05:52] <bentinata> mjrosenb, change mac address without macchanger?
[05:52] <teaearlgraycold> Mr_Queue, it's listed it but I'm not sure which one it is
[05:52] <mjrosenb> mjrosenb@panda:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mac-address.rules
[05:52] <mjrosenb> SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0", RUN+="/sbin/ifconfig %k hw ether 2e:60:76:1f:4e:01"
[05:52] <Mr_Queue> bentinata: Let's just wait for the end result on that one.
[05:53] <HideMe> Anyone know how to enable digital output (s/pdif) 5.1 channel audio?
[05:53] <Mr_Queue> teaearlgraycold: it's the one holding the billboard saying update-initramfs
[05:53] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, this what you want? http://pastebin.com/NkF9r83Q
[05:53] <bentinata> mjrosenb, saved. Thanks. :3
[05:53] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: perfect :)
[05:54] <mjrosenb> huh, ubuntu's package-detection messages don't seem to realize I'm not running an ubuntu-supplied kernel c.c
[05:54] <HideMe> .
[05:55] <teaearlgraycold> Should I just force a restart?
[05:55] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: apt-get upgrade seems to be the culprit; try killing it: "sudo kill -KILL 1118"
[05:57] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, that seemed to work. Now I see this: http://pastebin.com/hCFTcGnK
[05:57] <bencc> how can I find which package gives me intrin.h ?
[05:57] <mjrosenb> bencc: dpkg -S intrin.h
[05:59] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: OK, let's first get some protection for this network connection: "screen" either it isn't installed and you'll be shown the command to install it, or it'll start and you'll press Space or Enter after reading the intro info
[05:59] <gorelative> anyone gotten spacewalk to work with ubuntu?
[05:59] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, I use tmux typically
[05:59] <TJ-> bencc: If the package isn't already installed you'll need "apt-file search intrin.h"
[05:59] <teaearlgraycold> Better splitting
[05:59] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Go for it then
[06:00] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: just so there's a fallback if the command gets stuck
[06:00] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, but my SSH sessions aren't in tmux by default though
[06:00] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Start it now; same as you would screen. Then you're protected
[06:01] <teaearlgraycold> TJ-, so I should have one continuous SSH session using tmux?
[06:01] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: Once you've got a shell you can do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[06:01] <hemant> hemant
[06:02] <teaearlgraycold> Isn't 14.04.1 the most recent though?
[06:02] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: it'll be SSH > tmux > multiple windows as needed
[06:02] <Mr_Queue> teaearlgraycold: just use screen.....
[06:02] <Mr_Queue> install it if you don't have it.
[06:02] <teaearlgraycold> Mr_Queue, but muh horizontal splits
[06:02] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: "dist-upgrade" installs new versions of existing packages, in this case it wants to install the latest kernel images
[06:02] <Mr_Queue> You can do that too.
[06:02] <Mr_Queue> screen comes with a manual by the way.
[06:03] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: With 'screen' it's :split and :vsplit (horizontal and virtical, respectively)
[06:04] <teaearlgraycold> I used screen for years but IIRC I stopped because it was no longer maintained and someone on IRC told me that Tmux was better and up to date
[06:04] <Mr_Queue> That can't be true.
[06:04] <teaearlgraycold> Okay dist-upgrade worked
[06:04] <teaearlgraycold> Or maybe that was irssi and weechat...
[06:04] <teaearlgraycold> I can't remember why I switched
[06:04] <Mr_Queue> bitchx
[06:05] <teaearlgraycold> Weechat's pretty cool
[06:05] <Mr_Queue> Is the way of the dodo.. Not screen or anything else you mentioned.
[06:05] <teaearlgraycold> So why should I use screen?
[06:06] <TJ-> teaearlgraycold: screen or tmux; when a command might lock up, it helps to run it under a multiplexer so you can quickly open an additional shell and fix it
[06:07] <Mr_Queue> I don't even know where to start on why to use screen..
[06:07] <teaearlgraycold> I understand that. I want to know why Mr_Queue wants me to use screen over tmux
[06:07] <Mr_Queue> Lets say you're connected to omg.server.com
[06:07] <Mr_Queue> and working.
[06:07] <Mr_Queue> But your connection to omg.server.com is killed...
[06:08] <Mr_Queue> No problem, when you reconnect you just attach back to your screen and everything is still there.
[06:08] <gorelative> i wish landscape wasnt so much money o.O
[06:08] <teaearlgraycold> Yes, but how is that any different from tmux?
[06:08] <Mr_Queue> Google will help you there..
[06:09] <Paradisee> hello o/
[06:09] <teaearlgraycold> So you don't know?
[06:09] <Mr_Queue> One is a server solution, the other is for a workstation.
[06:09] <teaearlgraycold> They both exhibit the persistance I'm looking for
[06:09] <Paradisee> i was trying to upgrade with "apt-get upgrade" but it says that the swap isn't big enough, how can i resize it?
[06:09] <Paradisee> or probably was the boot, i don't remember...
[06:10] <teaearlgraycold> gparted
[06:10] <Mr_Queue> teaearlgraycold: I've been doing this for a bunch of years now.
[06:10] <Mr_Queue> You'll never find tmux on the servers, you will find screen sessions everywhere.
[06:10] <Mr_Queue> We can even share screen sessions.
[06:11] <teaearlgraycold> The issue here is that I am the only person who will SSH into the machine. And I will only use tmux to keep my IRC client/rtorrent open 24/7.
[06:11] <Mr_Queue> Sounds cool, good luck.
[06:12] <teaearlgraycold> Okay. It's how I had it before, there's just no reason to change for me.
[06:14] <bentinata> So, no one got 1+ One?
[06:16] <Adie> is there a way to get my computer to show a custom welcome message upon ssh connect?
[06:16] <Adie> I need a cheat sheet of commands ~_~
[06:17] <izarry> Hi guys ^_^ im new here and im new in ubuntu :D
[06:17] <TJ-> Adie: motd
[06:17] <sexyboy> Adie: /etc/motd
[06:17] <Adie> ty
[06:18] <Caramoan> hello
[06:19] <wsemitra> hello sir
[06:19] <mjrosenb> iirc, ssh is also capable of printing out its own message, independent of motd.
[06:20] <izarry> guys where can i see my drivers?
[06:20] <sexyboy> izarry: lsmod
[06:21] <sexyboy> izarry: that's for kernel modules, the "drivers"
[06:21] <TJ-> mjrosenb: Adie Yes, "Banner" which is shown before login
[06:21] <izarry> sexyboy : should i type that on terminal?
[06:21] <sexyboy> yes
[06:21] <izarry> sexyboy : thanks :D sorry im new here hehe
[06:21] <mjrosenb> izarry: they're usually sitting at the front of the bus
[06:21] <mjrosenb> izarry: but if you're stopped for a break, they may be outside stretching their legs :-p
[06:21] <TJ-> izarry: To see the drivers for PCI devices: "lspci -knn"
[06:22] <sexyboy> izarry: there are also xorg drivers and maybe something i don't know about
[06:22] <izarry> is my nvidia driver automatically installed when i install ubuntu?
[06:22] <izarry> mjrosenb : hehe
[06:23] <sexyboy> izarry: afaik you need to use the software center to add the nvidia blob up, it uses neuveau (the free driver) by default
[06:23] <Mr_Queue> My head is going to explode.
[06:23] <utopian> Hi how do I remove a file!
[06:23] <Mr_Queue> My head is going to explode.
[06:23] <izarry> sexyboy: hehe okay2x
[06:24] <Caramoan> how to fix a internet drop connection in ubuntu 14.04
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> ive installed bootlogd but not sure where to find the logs now
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> !info bootlogd
[06:30] <teaearlgraycold> How can I figure out what package a command is from?
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> teaearlgraycold: wich command?
[06:31] <teaearlgraycold> Well it's htdigest but I just figured out it's from apache2-utils. I'm looking for a general way.
[06:31] <bencc> TJ-: I get many files that are not intrin.h
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> teaearlgraycold: maybe this: dpkg -S $(which free)
[06:33] <teaearlgraycold> Okay, thanks
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> teaearlgraycold: ah and apt-cache search htdigest also finds right package
[06:34] <teaearlgraycold> yeah - I'd forgotten about apt-cache search
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> !info bootlogd
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> !grub
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> rww: you here?
[06:41] <Caramoan> how to make mozilla fast browser?
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: last update of firefox should be faster
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: version 32 if i can recall
[06:43] <Caramoan> lotuspsychje, how to identify if my version is 32?
[06:43] <teaearlgraycold> So I need /usr/bin/ar. Is that in gcc or g++ or something?
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: open firefox help/about
[06:44] <Caramoan> lotuspsychje, yah.. version 32 is my mozilla, damn do you think its my proider?
[06:45] <helmut_> hi
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: you can speedtest online to make sure if its your provider..
[06:45] <ruby_on_tails> i am on linux mint and skype doesnt turn on after some upgrade they did
[06:45] <ruby_on_tails> anyone got a clue?
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: you can also try chromium-browser for fast browsing
[06:45] <Caramoan> lotuspsychje, in speedtest.net?
[06:46] <ruby_on_tails> lotuspsychje: is it faster than chrome?
[06:46] <teaearlgraycold> ruby_on_tails, you try reinstalling skype?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> ruby_on_tails: mint is not supported here mate
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> Caramoan: sure
[06:46] <ruby_on_tails> teaearlgraycold: yes tried, even tried an older version didnt work
[06:46] <ruby_on_tails> lotuspsychje: is there a separate channel for mint?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> ruby_on_tails: yes
[06:46] <teaearlgraycold> Well as lotuspsychje implied you should go to mint's channel
[06:46] <ruby_on_tails> #mint doesnt work
[06:47] <teaearlgraycold> #linuxmint?
[06:47] <ruby_on_tails> #linux-mint doesnt work either
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> ruby_on_tails: think its on other network, but bot is down
[06:47] <Caramoan> lotuspsychje, ok thanks man..
[06:47] <ruby_on_tails> k its #linuxmint thanks
[06:47] <teaearlgraycold> "Linux Mint uses the Spotchat IRC network"
[06:47] <ruby_on_tails> another question
[06:47] <teaearlgraycold> http://www.linuxmint.com/contactus.php
[06:48] <ruby_on_tails> how can i improve the quality of my screencast? what i see on the monitor is different from what i see on the screencast in terms of quality
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> ruby_on_tails: we suggest you install ubuntu, then we can help your issues
[06:49] <ruby_on_tails> lotuspsychje: this one is about ubuntu
[06:49] <nOTewARe2> how does audacity work?
[06:50] <Caramoan> lotuspsychje, when i try the speedtest.net and click the test server it appear timeout..
[06:52] <teaearlgraycold> Just deleted libxml2... turns out that was more important than I thought...
[06:53] <teaearlgraycold> Guess I'm rage quitting this for now. I'll reinstall tomorrow
[07:06] <andlabs> Hi. I'm trying to build aisleriot from source, and I get the error spew listed here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736454 I've confirmed this only happens on Ubuntu - anyone know what's up? Thanks.

[07:17] <kuby64> with MacBuntu theme installed*
[07:19] <izarry> donno what's wrong but this just pop up "System program problem detected" , and what is the problem o.O
[07:23] <DexterSkull> whois
[07:26] <Code|Teal> OK, I am at a loss... second time in a row.. Installed ubuntu and at first boot, password that was typed is incorrect
[07:27] <Code|Teal> I know for a fact that it is what I typed
[07:27] <aumohmega> Code|Teal:  ctrl alt f2 ;)
[07:28] <aumohmega> or sudo passwd root
[07:28] <cannon> dex
[07:28] <Code|Teal> ?
[07:28] <aumohmega> amph
[07:29] <Code|Teal> I can't change the password if I cant log in
[07:29] <aumohmega> which pass? the drive encrypt or the user/admin shell?
[07:29] <Code|Teal> user password
[07:29] <Code|Teal> I can not log into the machine
[07:29] <ryu13212> um..user passwd?
[07:30] <ryu13212> can you sudo or su -?
[07:30] <Code|Teal> joke right?
[07:30] <ryu13212> nope
[07:30] <aumohmega> u need to boot into root shell and force passwd with higher priveledge then chang ur pass and log back in...
[07:30] <ryu13212> yep
[07:31] <Code|Teal> so let me get this right... I need to log in and change the password
[07:31] <ryu13212> do you know admin password?
[07:32] <aumohmega> no u cant log in! but u can log-out as in do a crash into your root shell and change it there, then log in with new pass
[07:32] <Code|Teal> I just installed it... this is the first boot... the password that I set at install is not working... second time this happened
[07:33] <Code|Teal> log-out?
[07:33] <ryu13212> Hmm
[07:33] <aumohmega> ryu he cant even get into a terminal he stuck at user login screen.. i think?
[07:33] <ryu13212> um..ok
[07:33] <aumohmega> how much weed u been soking code?
[07:33] <Code|Teal> I am sitting at a terminal right now
[07:33] <aumohmega> smoking*
[07:33] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: did you use the default keyboard during setup (and are you still using it)?
[07:33] <aumohmega> luls
[07:34] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, chose default and have not changed it
[07:35] <ryu13212> idk....
[07:35] <Code|Teal> ryu13212, aumohmega I am sitting at a terminal login right now... you tell me how to "crash" that
[07:35] <Code|Teal> please
[07:35] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: and capslock isn't on or anything stupid, like that?
[07:35] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, first thing that I checked
[07:35] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, I thought that I just fat-fingered the username the first time
[07:36] <aumohmega> ok and what is the terminal saying? root@icantlogin or what?
[07:36] <kostkon> Code|Teal, last resort would be to reset the password  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[07:37] <Code|Teal> aumohmega, it is saying "drakonic login:" but thanks for trying to be funny when someone needs a hand
[07:37] <Code|Teal> aumohmega, I must have been confusing when I said that I was sitting at a terminal login
[07:37] <ryu13212> input "root" and input root password
[07:38] <aumohmega> well i programmed my linux to insult me when i get my pass wrong, so cant be all that bad ;)
[07:38] <Code|Teal> ryu13212, and let me know what the root password is
[07:38] <ryu13212> oh.ok
[07:38] <Code|Teal> because the only password that I set during install was the user password and that does not seem to be working
[07:38] <aumohmega> make sudo insult you: ,insult
[07:39] <aumohmega> well that means u havent set a root pass either..
[07:39] <Code|Teal> second clean install and second time at this
[07:39] <aumohmega> what about trying to add user?
[07:39] <Code|Teal> are you serious?!
[07:39] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: I'd recommend following kostkon's link.
[07:39] <kostkon> Code|Teal, in the login screen click on the keyboard language selector. see if you have more than one available keyboards to select from. try all of them
[07:39] <Code|Teal> yeah let me add a user!
[07:40] <aumohmega> add new user shell login then try and sort your user pass out and your root pass..
[07:40] <Code|Teal> aumohmega, walk me through adding a user from a login prompt please
[07:41] <aumohmega> so just add new user then change the new user to have higher priveledge then unmount the original user directory and mount the new one as main user...
[07:41] <Code|Teal> oh ok
[07:41] <Code|Teal> tell me how to add a new user
[07:41] <Code|Teal> please
[07:41] <cfhowlett> !adduser
[07:41] <Code|Teal> cfhowlett, that works from a login prompt?
[07:41] <aumohmega> lul cfhowlett
[07:41] <cfhowlett> wait 1 let me check my facts
[07:41] <aumohmega> terminal is terminal bro.. doesnt matter if your at boot or at crash same thing ;)
[07:42] <Code|Teal> because last I checked all you could do from a login prompt was login
[07:42] <Code|Teal> not at a bloody crash
[07:42] <kostkon> Code|Teal, what kind of crash
[07:42] <aumohmega> or anywhere in between...
[07:42] <mjrosenb> aumohmega: he is at a getty prompting him for a username to let him log in, he has not logged in yet.
[07:42] <Code|Teal> aumohmega, I CAN NOT LOG IN
[07:42] <aumohmega> stock market crash kostkon
[07:42] <Code|Teal> not logged in
[07:43] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: koston's link before will let you reset your password without logging in.
[07:43] <kostkon> Code|Teal, if this is a fresh install, personally I would redownload the iso, then do a fresh install
[07:43] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: it'll also let you find out what your username acutally is.
[07:43] <mjrosenb> *actually
[07:43] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, looking at that now
[07:43] <kostkon> again*
[07:43] <Code|Teal> I don't understand why this is so confusing
[07:44] <aumohmega> did u try ctrl alt F2?
[07:44] <aumohmega> ohh at getty..
[07:45] <aumohmega> hmmm well sounds to me like u fugged ur pass x 2 bro...
[07:45] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: I'm like 99% sure I understand what your issue is and am not attempting to be an asshole.
[07:46] <aumohmega> so re'install with a funny pass like *press spacebar once* then wait for install then log in by pressing spacebar and then once u in change ur pass to somethign more forgetfull :P
[07:47] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, no you are fine
[07:50] <Code|Teal> mjrosenb, yeah it just booted to a login and password I input was not working
[07:50] <Code|Teal> turns out that the user was not created during the install
[07:51] <Code|Teal> kostkon, thanks for that link
[07:51] <kostkon> Code|Teal, np
[07:52]  * mjrosenb did not realize that ubuntu was that insecure by default. I was going to suggest doing the same thing via livecd :-/
[07:53] <ultio> Hey guys, is it okay to ask for help on here or should I go to the forums for that?
[07:53] <cfhowlett> ultio, or both!
[07:53] <cfhowlett> ultio, ask your ubuntu questions
[07:53] <Code|Teal> kostkon, fixed the issue perfectly... had to add the user... odd that it was not created during the install
[07:54] <kostkon> Code|Teal, very odd yes.
[07:55] <mjrosenb> Code|Teal: so /home was empty, and you weren't in /etc/passwd? or did it do some parts of the user adding, but not others?
[07:55] <ultio> Thanks, basically I am having more of a general problem with my display drivers. I am running a notebook with an Intel onboard GPU and and AMD dedicated GPU. I just got one of these fancy 34" LG monitors, unfortunately its only displaying 30 Hertz via HDMI. I googled around and found out that this is because intel's graphics chipset does not support a higher refresh rate at this resolution, so I was trying to switch to the AMD gpu at a
[07:56] <ultio> (This monitor will be used with a different machine and display port in the future, so it's just a temporary solution to go with 50 Hertz, but 30 Hz is quite horrible to my eyes)
[07:56] <cfhowlett> !xrandr | ultio
[07:56] <kostkon> ultio, is it 4k? because that would explain the 30khz
[07:56] <Code|Teal> did not even look
[07:56] <ultio> 30 kilo hertz would be great :D
[07:56] <kostkon> oops. Hz*
[07:56] <ultio> But yes, its 3440x1440
[07:57] <ultio> However, HDMI supports up to 50 Hertz at this resolution
[07:57] <Code|Teal> it booted to a cli login and that was it... when I followed that link, I tried to change the user password and it said that was not a user
[07:57] <ultio> It's a limitation by the Intel GPU
[07:57] <Code|Teal> so I created it lol
[07:57] <kostkon> ultio, oh right. only dvi has currently that limitation
[07:57] <ultio> so I was trying to switch to the AMD GPU, but I cannot get it to work
[07:58] <mjrosenb> ultio: fwiw, the first thing you said got cut off after "AMD gpu at a"
[07:58] <kostkon> "at 50hz" probably
[07:58] <ultio> AMD gpu at all times to at least get 50 Hz
[07:58] <ultio> Yes
[08:00] <mjrosenb> kostkon: yeah, I was able to figure out what he wanted to say, but next time it may not be as obvious.
[08:00] <mjrosenb> ultio: can you disable the intel chip in the bios?
[08:00] <mjrosenb> ultio: that is probably the most surefire way of getting it working.
[08:02] <ultio> Hm, I cant remember seeing that setting
[08:02] <ultio> is there a way to see the currently used adapter?
[08:03] <ultio> Nvm, I can google
[08:03] <ubuntuuser> guys. Ubiquity crashes when I try to install Kubuntu 14.04.1

[08:08] <samthewildone> I'm trying to setup a shortcut for gedit but, its not running.
[08:08] <samthewildone> Ctrl + Alt + G
[08:08] <samthewildone> In keyboard shortcut it sets it but, does not open gedit.
[08:11] <[L]ight> samthewildone: works for me.
[08:11] <samthewildone> dam
[08:11] <samthewildone> [L]ight, this is weird
[08:11] <[L]ight> samthewildone: is it alrdy used for anything else?
[08:11] <samthewildone> how can I check ?
[08:12] <[L]ight> samthewildone: by default ctrl alt G isn't used
[08:12] <samthewildone> that's what I though
[08:12] <samthewildone> *t
[08:12] <[L]ight> samthewildone: are you on 13.10?
[08:12] <samthewildone> 14.04
[08:13] <mjrosenb> samthewildone: and you change the global keybinding, not a keybinding within a particular program?
[08:14]  * samthewildone gulps
[08:14] <samthewildone> I've got many programs but, never heard of a program that uses that macro
[08:14] <mjrosenb> samthewildone: I meant did you set the new binding within a program rather than for the window manager.
[08:15] <samthewildone> Not that I know of
[08:15] <[L]ight> samthewildone: haven't heard of this before. It happened for 13.10 but you just have to log in and back.
[08:16] <samthewildone> i'll try
[08:17] <samthewildone> I call bs on this one boys !
[08:17] <samthewildone> it works
[08:17] <[L]ight> samthewildone: There!
[08:17] <samthewildone> :D
[08:17] <samthewildone> this is gonna come so freaking handy !
[08:18] <samthewildone> coding on the fly
[08:18] <[L]ight> samthewilone: what languages?
[08:18] <[L]ight> samthewildone*: what languages?
[08:18] <Robchew> hi guys :)
[08:18] <samthewildone> C++ mostly
[08:19] <samthewildone> although I was dabbling with BASH earlier
[08:19] <mjrosenb> samthewildone: you use gedit to edit c++? :-(
[08:19] <samthewildone> [L]ight, http://pastebin.com/XiaJzKcS
[08:19] <samthewildone> mjrosenb, for practices
[08:19] <[L]ight> samthewildone: IDEs :)
[08:19] <hmsimha> so I really goofed earlier tonight.. did `sudo service dbus restart` out of curiosity. Everything stopped working except chrome (which I brought into focus immediately after I issued the command). Is it possible to revert to a working desktop environment after restarting dbus?
[08:19] <samthewildone> I use Qt Creator
[08:19] <samthewildone> gedit is quick for small TINY applications
[08:20] <Robchew> after having no luck with installing arch linux on my macbookpro, and seeing some guides explaining installing ubuntu on mackbook as easy, I am considering installing
[08:20] <samthewildone> I would use vi || vim but, no patience
[08:20] <Robchew> I basically want to only have i3 installed, and strip down ubuntu if possible
[08:20] <Robchew> is that possible to do for a beginner?
[08:20] <cfhowlett> !mac |Robchew,
[08:21] <cfhowlett> !ubottu
[08:21] <Robchew> !mac
[08:21] <sgo11> hi, I got a data dvd from my friend. when I insert the dvd to my ubuntu, it shows blank dvd. how can I mount it properly in ubuntu?
[08:21] <mjrosenb> Robchew: probably easier to install ubuntu server, and add things to it, rather than stripping things out of ubuntu desktop.
[08:21] <cfhowlett> ermm, ubottu you awake?
[08:21] <Robchew> cfhowlett: are those some bot commands I can use for info? !mac
[08:21] <cfhowlett> Robchew, yes but the ubottu seems to be offline at the moment.
[08:22] <Robchew> mjosenb: thanks. is it possible to install ubuntu server a quick and easy way - like with a live cd with install wizard?
[08:22] <mjrosenb> Robchew: iirc, yes, but the install wizard is an ncurses-like interface?
[08:22] <[L]ight> RobChew: instal l wizard?
[08:23] <mjrosenb> (I have not installed ubuntu via a cd in 7+ years)
[08:23] <cfhowlett> Robchew, server install IS quick and easy - and text based.  more info in #ubuntu-server
[08:23] <Robchew> [L]ight: yes
[08:24] <[L]ight> Robchew: Server installs are cli based
[08:24] <Robchew> cfhowlett: thanks. what command would I use in #ubuntu-server to get started?
[08:24] <txthinking> i want make dnsmasq into a containter,  but occur error: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1?
[08:24] <cfhowlett> Robchew, /join #ubuntuserver
[08:24] <cfhowlett> Robchew, /join #ubuntu-server
[08:24] <samthewildone> wtf
[08:25] <samthewildone> then they all come back
[08:25] <Robchew> [L]ight: ok. I'll look for some macbook pro specific guides
[08:25] <cyberalex4life> Hello!
[08:25] <[L]ight> Robchew: Server doesn't come with GUI by default. You can choose to install it though, if you want.
[08:25] <Robchew> cfhowlett: thanks, but I thought you meant there was some !mac or something to use in #ubuntuserver
[08:26] <Robchew> cyberalex4life: hello
[08:26] <Robchew> thanks all, I'll head over to #ubuntuserver
[08:26] <zubairahmed> ubuntu-server Robchew
[08:26] <Robchew> zubairahmed: thanks just noticed hehe
[08:27] <cyberalex4life> I have a small problem on an Asus K55VD laptop. I can't use Fn camera combination to start guvcview and some othe 2 combinations to start gnome-system-monitor and unity-control-center
[08:27] <cyberalex4life> Does anyone know anything about this? It used to work no problem in ubuntu-gnome
[08:30] <[L]ight> .join #html
[08:30] <[L]ight> Just playing around, don't mind
[08:31] <[L]ight> typo.
[08:36] <cyberalex4life> ok, I think I found out why it doesn't work: If in dconf-editor the keybinding is shown in bold (so not default) the Fn combination doesn't work
[08:37] <cyberalex4life> this meaning any Fn Combination
[08:41] <mintnewbee> hello, i am installing on a dell studio 1555, it has a Broadcom chip for wifi. wifi doesnt work on the live cd, will it work when installed?

[08:45] <spinchdip_> mine did Mint
[08:46] <Caramoan> guys how many years support of ubuntu 14.04 in security?
[08:47] <cfhowlett> Caramoan, 5years Long Term Support
[08:47] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, it'll probably need help but should work
[08:47] <Caramoan> cfhowlett, ah.. ok thanks
[08:47] <nusr> hi i uninstalled enthought canopy on ubuntu and am using the default ide, where do i save my pythong scripts if i want to run them?
[08:48] <mintnewbee> cfhowlett: i think i have to install broadcom-sta package, but i used usb to install the system. how can i add usb to sources.list so i can use it?
[08:49] <mintnewbee> since i dont have internet now
[08:55] <izarry> guys please help me , how can i fully uninstall steam on terminal?
[08:56] <izarry> guys please help me , how can i fully uninstall steam on terminal? im on 14.0 version
[08:56] <BQ> what is sda2 for?
[08:56] <BQ> what is /etc/sda2 for?
[08:57] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, first:  plug in an ethernet cable and run "additional drivers" utility. it might detect and set itself
[08:58] <cfhowlett> forums: what am I missing here?  I want to create an account.  enter my password and it prompts for password via ubuntuone which is discontinued.  can't create password, can't get an account.  wha???
[08:59] <izarry> guys where can i find this ?  "~/.local/share/Steam/ " should i type that in terminal?
[09:00] <cfhowlett> izarry, that's a hidden in your /home
[09:01] <Flannel> cfhowlett: you probably want #ubuntuforums, but if it wants an "ubuntuone" account, that's just outdated terminology.  The forums /do/ use the ubuntu single-sign-on thing.
[09:01] <cfhowlett> Flannel, OK.  thanks.
[09:02] <izarry> cfhowlett, i find at ubuntu forums i need to delete the contents of the steam located at "~/.local/share/Steam/" but when i open /home nothings there  :/
[09:02] <cfhowlett> izarry, wait.
[09:03] <izarry> okay thanks cfhowlett
[09:03] <cfhowlett> izarry, in a terminal:         cd ~/.local/share/Steam/
[09:04] <HiddenCloud> hi
[09:04] <HiddenCloud> software center crashes everytime I open it and when I try to reinstall I get this error
[09:04] <HiddenCloud> List directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing. - Acquire (17: File exists)
[09:04] <izarry> cfhowlett okay thank you ^_^
[09:04] <HiddenCloud> I tried looking online and followed the steps there, but it involves making that directory and when I try to it says the directory already exists
[09:05] <cfhowlett> izarry, happy2help
[09:05] <mintnewbee> cfhowlett: the problem is, i dont have an ethernet cable, can i somehow load it from the usb stick (installation medium)?
[09:05] <HiddenCloud> can anyone help
[09:06] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, download it, read the README and follow the directions.  easy.
[09:06] <mintnewbee> i already installed the system cfhowlett
[09:07] <mintnewbee> cfhowlett: i would like to know if i can use the usb stick as an apt source to now install the broadcom drivers
[09:07] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, understood.  download the driver to your usb, copy to your system and install.
[09:07] <zubairahmed> HiddenCloud https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/194620
[09:07] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, NOT as an apt source because you need to compile it.
[09:08] <cfhowlett> mintnewbee, thus "read the README"
[09:08] <mintnewbee> hmm
[09:08] <HiddenCloud> alright, I'll go try it shukran zubairahmed
[09:08] <mintnewbee> but i think they are available as a package
[09:08] <mintnewbee> when looking it aptitude i find "broadcom-sta"
[09:13] <izarry> guys how would i know that i already installed nvidia graphics card
[09:14] <izarry> is there a way i can see it?
[09:14] <mjrosenb> izarry: card, or driver?
[09:15] <newarch> hi
[09:15] <izarry> mjrosenb : driver
[09:16] <mjrosenb> izarry: lsmod | grep nv; grep nv /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:16] <newarch> when I try to install package_b, apt says that package_a will be removed, how can i prevent package_a from removal?
[09:16] <izarry> mjrosenb : ok2x thanks
[09:16] <mjrosenb> newarch: what are the two packages?
[09:17] <newarch> mjrosenb, thunderbird and hunspell
[09:17] <Novice201y> Is there graphical way to add PPA to Ubuntu?
[09:17]  * mjrosenb wonders why those conflict
[09:17] <mjrosenb> newarch: does it also want to install another spellchecker?
[09:18] <newarch> mjrosenb, no
[09:18] <newarch> mjrosenb, how can i lock any one of them?
[09:18] <newarch> mjrosenb, aptitude hold hunspell, not doing this
[09:19] <newarch> mjrosenb, may be 'hold' is not the proper thing to do here
[09:20] <mjrosenb> newarch: yeah, I think hold prevents it from being upgraded?
[09:20] <newarch> mjrosenb, yes
[09:22] <mjrosenb> newarch: see what apt-get install thunderbird hunspell says.
[09:25] <OERIAS> A ton of bans.
[09:26] <pompeii> hello everyone, I granted google access to 'online accounts', and it shows me empathy now. I start empathy and see nothing about how i can post to google etc..what can I do with empathy?
[09:28] <bong1> how do i set the default browser to chrome? it says on chrome... Google Chrome cannot determine or set the default browser.
[09:28] <newarch> mjrosenb, surprisingly both installed
[09:28] <mjrosenb> \o/
[09:28] <pompeii> bong1, if you mean chromium, there is that option in settings
[09:29]  * mjrosenb was honestly not expecting that.
[09:29] <pompeii> is there any plugin or similar missing at empathy maybe?
[09:31] <vSquare> Based on the output of this dmesg, would I be right in assuming the nouveau driver is being shitty with me and causing these cpu lockups??? http://paste.ee/p/eBcgx#F065hTZJo7t2prQ9P3s7FQQsCseVMQob
[09:34] <bong1> pompeii:  no i mean chrome and the settings says...  Google Chrome cannot determine or set the default browser.
[09:35] <pompeii> bong1, not familiar with chrome, sorry
[09:39] <pompeii> rephrasing the question; is it possible to post to one's certain inevitable social dagadagadingdongs via friends app?
[09:43] <mjrosenb> pompeii: I heard there are these things called web browsers which are getting pretty good at navigating the internet :-p
[09:43] <pompeii> mjrosenb, you might as well not have replied, you know that, right?
[09:44] <mjrosenb> pompeii: yeah, but it was quiet in here, and I'm waiting for stuff to happen.
[09:44] <ikonia> pompeii: the friends app ?
[09:45] <pompeii> really, what is friends app for, if you cant post statuses to los sociales?
[09:46] <pompeii> yes, ikonia, friends app.
[09:46] <pompeii> with 'the'
[09:46] <ikonia> pompeii: in ubuntu ?
[09:47] <ikonia> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/friends-app/
[09:47] <ikonia> that one ?
[09:47] <mjrosenb> ikonia: it is returned by apt-cache search friends.
[09:48] <pompeii> ikonia, yes, this one. or that one.
[09:48] <ikonia> pompeii: from reading it looks like it's a read only steam
[09:48] <ikonia> not sure if that's by design
[09:49] <ikonia> the documentation on it seems a bit lacking
[09:49] <pompeii> yes, indeed, it seems to be a steam, well-said, ikonia
[09:49] <mjrosenb> however, steam is anything-but read only.
[09:49] <pompeii> even as read-only, there seems to be no status display
[09:50] <pompeii> ok, so maybe you'll need to import contacts
[09:50] <ikonia> mjrosenb: it was a typo "stream"
[09:50] <ikonia> pompeii: no status ?
[09:51] <mjrosenb> ikonia: yes, I realized that, but pompeii also made fun of the typo.
[09:51] <izarry> hi what's wrong with this? E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:51] <izarry> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:51] <pompeii> no, I get an empathy window blank as dead sea
[09:51] <mjrosenb> izarry: that sounds like you are not root.
[09:51] <ikonia> pompeii: from the limited info on it, it appears to only display a stream from your associated accounts
[09:51] <cfhowlett> izarry, yes another process is using it
[09:51] <izarry> hmm so what should i do? :/
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> !backup > MonkeyDust
[09:51] <pompeii> ikonia, I associated accounts, and press, too, but no stream yet
[09:52] <cfhowlett> !aptlock
[09:52] <ikonia> pompeii: it maybe worth logging a few bus against this as it actually an ubuntu application
[09:52] <ikonia> pompeii: I'd raise the query if it's meant to be read only as a bug
[09:52] <ikonia> pompeii: try to get an official response as the docs don't really offer clarify (certainly not ones I can find)
[09:53] <cfhowlett> izarry, http://www.namhuy.net/2243/how-to-fix-could-not-get-lock-error-in-ubuntu.html
[09:53] <mjrosenb> cfhowlett: bot's down :-(
[09:53] <cfhowlett> mjrosenb, so I see.
[09:54] <izarry> cfhowlett, thank you :)

[10:01] <Chinney> i can only install ubuntu with secure boot enabled but if I enable it theres another option called "supported OS" which automatically switches to Windows 8 and is not adjustable.
[10:01] <coxaLT> hello, is there ubuntu-server related irc channel?
[10:01] <ikonia> coxaLT: #ubuntu-server
[10:01] <coxaLT> cheers
[10:02] <Chinney> so with secure boot enabled it doesnt even recognizes win7 live cd and stuff. just win8

[11:09] <Evotique> What ?
[11:09] <sexyboy> Evotique: check your query
[11:10] <mjrosenb> does that trigger a different bot?
[11:10] <sexyboy> idk i'm kinda new here
[11:10] <mjrosenb> !fr | mjrosenb,
[11:10] <cfhowlett> Evotique, ask in #ubuntu-fr        for french language support
[11:10] <sexyboy> deduction tells me it does send a query message to an user about the french community
[11:12] <Chinney> mjrosenb: are you familiar with dual boots for ubuntu and win8?
[11:12] <mjrosenb> sexyboy: that is what it /should/ do, assuming the bot is responding.
[11:12] <MonkeyDust> !ubottu
[11:12] <mjrosenb> Chinney: nope, sorry :-(

[11:13] <Timoty> <img src="apples.jpeg">
[11:13] <Timoty> Hey everyone, can we transfer images on irc ?
[11:13] <MMukherjl> Timoty: No.
[11:14] <MMukherjl> It's ASCII...
[11:14] <MMukherjl> Not HTML
[11:14] <Timoty> oh okay
[11:14] <ashadiqi> loggy: afaik it's fine
[11:14] <cfhowlett> !paste | Timoty,
[11:14] <cfhowlett> Timoty, imgur will let you post images
[11:14] <MMukherjl> ashadiqi: logyy*
[11:14] <MMukherjl> !paste
[11:15] <Timoty> I am on a personal app for irc chat
[11:15] <logyy> what means afaik?
[11:15] <Timoty> I can see the image I sent here.
[11:15] <meet> hi. I have xubuntu installed and plan to replace it with ubuntu or lubuntu. but the last time I did something similar, the desktop sessions got messed up. At every startup i get a message like xfce not found. going to default session or something. I have a separate /home partition and /root. how do I avoid this messup of those config files? thanks.
[11:15] <MMukherjl> As Far As I know.
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> logyy  no, what you can do: create two partitions on the usb stick, burn ubunutu to one, keep the other for data
[11:15] <Seveas> logyy: as far as i know.
[11:15] <ashadiqi> logyy: as far as i know
[11:15] <logyy> ok thank you poeple :D
[11:16] <MMukherjl> Timoty: It's a sort of WebIRC, isn't it?
[11:16] <g0tcha> zubairahmed, thanks for the link.. but unfortunately when i restart iptables using init.d, the port i added disapears
[11:16] <MMukherjl> Or it's impossible.
[11:16] <Timoty> no
[11:16] <MMukherjl> You can *NOT* post images in ASCII
[11:16] <MMukherjl> AFAIK
[11:16] <SkippersBoss> meet: you first install ubuntu-desktop or whatever desktop you want after which you remove everything Xubuntu
[11:17] <coxaLT> i have question
[11:17] <SkippersBoss> meet: Sorry to see XUbuntu was not to your liking .
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> coxaLT  let's hear it
[11:17] <Seveas> MMukherjl: well, there are image-to-ascii converters :)
[11:17] <MMukherjl> Yes. There're.
[11:17] <MMukherjl> But he wants to post .jpg images.........
[11:18] <MMukherjl> Seaves: ^
[11:18] <Timoty> so if I send a converted image what will it look likH
[11:18] <Timoty> I will check on that
[11:18] <MMukherjl> If I do, that'll be a big spam.
[11:18] <MMukherjl> I can show you... but in PM
[11:18] <Bobbo_> Timoty: You'd get kicked/muted/banned for flooding if you done that in a channel.
[11:18] <Timoty> I can't PM
[11:18] <Timoty> I am  on a personal irc app
[11:18] <MMukherjl> eh
[11:18] <MMukherjl> dafuQ
[11:19] <Timoty> yeah
[11:19] <coxaLT> I try to running script, wich attempts start another program. For some reason it "stucks" and does'nt init properly, after i use CTRL+C i go on writing-mode in terminal, but then when i execute same command, program terminal stucks in another way
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> Timoty  try pasting in #test
[11:19] <MMukherjl> You can.
[11:19] <MMukherjl> By /query
[11:19] <Timoty> how ?
[11:19] <coxaLT> My question would be, what would be the way to terminate proccess started from first command execution?
[11:19] <MMukherjl> Wait.
[11:19] <coxaLT> so i could try again,
[11:19] <Seveas> coxaLT: the kill command
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> coxaLT  better ask in #bash
[11:20] <Timoty> just post it here
[11:20] <Timoty> :)
[11:20] <Seveas> find the process id with ps aux and then use kill to kill it
[11:20] <MMukherjl> The ADMINs'll kick me,
[11:20] <MMukherjl> ... So I won't do it.,
[11:20] <MMukherjl> ... So I won't do it.*
[11:20] <Timoty> LOL
[11:20] <Timoty> okay
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> MMukherjl  spare the enter key, it's getting a headache
[11:21] <Afar> MM can we PM ?
[11:21] <MMukherjl> Yes........
[11:22] <Timoty> what's that ?
[11:22] <MatthiasM> Hello, I have a problem running apt-get or anything related to software/distribution update/upgrade on an LTS 12.04 with the following error "E: Das Paket linux-headers-3.2.0-60 muss neu installiert werden, es kann jedoch kein Archiv dafür gefunden werden"
[11:23] <MatthiasM> which translates to "the package  linux-headers-3.2.0-60 must be reinstalled, but no archive could be found"
[11:23] <MMukherjl> Timoty: See your PM
[11:23] <meet> SkippersBoss: I want to install a compltely different os. So how to remove the earlier files in /home. like the config files or the .local folder?
[11:23] <Timoty> apparently I receive your PM
[11:23] <MMukherjl> 'k bb
[11:25] <coxaLT> how to return proccess id at the same time i start script, instead of looking on aux ps?
[11:25] <Seveas> MatthiasM: try purging the package with dpkg -P
[11:25] <MatthiasM> Seveas: the problem is that -60 is the currently running kernel
[11:25] <Timoty> No worries about images. I will search another solution for my application
[11:26] <musca> coxaLT:  echo $$
[11:27] <Seveas> MatthiasM: linux-headers-* packages aren't the kernel, they can be safely removed.
[11:27] <SkippersBoss> meet: If you use a life cd/stick for your installations you can choose to format your partitions
[11:27] <MatthiasM> ohh ok, will try that
[11:27] <coxaLT> cheers
[11:31] <SkippersBoss> you should save anything that you want to keep to a different location though (Pictures/Music/Documents)

[12:12] <melio_> i have minecraft.jar how do i put that sucker on the launcher or a lnk to it
[12:12] <melio_> i tried a few differnt ubuntu forum posts on this and none helped
[12:12] <Melio> oops
[12:12] <Melio> two logins
[12:13] <Melio> fixed
[12:14] <wesley9946> fixed about the login or the minecraft thing
[12:14] <Melio> the logins
[12:14] <Melio> the minecraft link i can't figure out
[12:14] <Melio> I have to launch it from my downloads dir
[12:16] <kostkon> Melio, what's the problem exactly?
[12:16] <kostkon> Melio, oh create a launcher for it
[12:17] <Melio> exactly
[12:17] <Melio> I tried what forums tell me to do.
[12:17] <Melio> but it doesnt work
[12:18] <Melio> if anyone has a method of launching minecraft from the side launcher . please let me know how it's done to add it and modify the icon for it
[12:20] <kostkon> Melio, there are apps that allow you to create custom launchers. but here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/8334307/
[12:20] <wesley9946> put the .jar on the desktop, right click on it, go to the rights tab (the second one), tick Make this file executable, then go to the Open with tab, and from there select the OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime
[12:20] <wesley9946> then it should work
[12:20] <Melio> ubuntright
[12:20] <Melio> but i dont want it on the desktop
[12:20] <Melio> i want it in the laucher
[12:20] <kostkon> Melio, save it as Minecraft.desktop     then right click on it, click on Properties, then  Permissions and enable the Allow to run it as applicatin option
[12:20] <wesley9946> ok, skip that part with the desktop
[12:21] <kostkon> Melio, then take that file and move it to ~/.local/share/applications
[12:21] <Melio> I think i foun a video that explains this
[12:21] <kostkon> Melio, where ~/ is your home folder that is
[12:21] <Melio> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zup430CXgo
[12:30] <Melio> hmm still not working
[12:30] <Melio> wonder if the icon is too ig
[12:30] <Melio> big
[12:32] <matty_r> Anybody had a problem where changing a video to fullscreen in a browser or even in VLC will make the fullscreen go to the background
[12:32] <kostkon> Melio, check that the paths are right
[12:32] <matty_r> ?
[12:32] <Melio> doing tha now
[12:33] <Melio> something aint right
[12:33] <Melio> because it won't launch from the launcher
[12:33] <kostkon> Melio, icon shouldn't be more than 512x512. 256x256 will suffice
[12:33] <Melio> could it be cause it's .jar
[12:33] <Melio> i could exec= and put in a java execute line
[12:34] <Melio> maby start a script instead
[12:34] <kostkon> Melio, ?
[12:34] <Melio> for the /usr/share/applications/mincraft...
[12:34] <Melio> in that file
[12:34] <kostkon> Melio, /usr/share/applications?
[12:36] <kostkon> Melio, wher is the minecraft folder located?
[12:36] <matty_r> I just noticed it's doing it when I press the super button also
[12:36] <Melio> i put the Minecraft.jar in /home/melio/.mc/Minecraft.jar
[12:36] <Melio> it's pathed directly to that
[12:37] <Melio> /home/melio/.mc/minecraft.jar
[12:37] <Melio> leme edit that
[12:37] <kostkon> Melio, is it really Minecraft.jar or minecraft.jar. remember, linux is case sensitive
[12:37] <Melio> it's not cased right
[12:37] <Melio> I know i just noticed that
[12:39] <Melio> ok got the icon and graphic properly set on the launcher
[12:39] <Melio> but it's not launching
[12:40] <Melio> could it be an ownership issue?
[12:40] <kostkon> Melio, so the exec line is java -jar /home/melio/.mc/minecraft.jar
[12:40] <Melio> it shuold be...
[12:40] <Melio> lemme try
[12:40] <Melio> with proper case
[12:40] <kostkon> Melio, and the desktop file is executable?
[12:40] <Melio> I don't know
[12:40] <Melio> I'll check it
[12:41] <kostkon> Melio, does the icon work now?
[12:41] <Novice201y> Hello. How can I check producer's name of HDD in my computer under Ubuntu?
[12:41] <Melio> ok adding java -jar fixed it
[12:41] <Melio> i figured i had to launch it with java
[12:42] <kostkon> Melio, jar files need the -jar option
[12:42] <Melio> the desktop will launch it cause i has assoation, but the launcher ignores those
[12:42] <Melio> right
[12:42] <kostkon> Melio, yeah you need the -jar when you run it from the terminal
[12:42] <Melio> i assumed the launcher was using the association
[12:43] <Melio> that thin grey line of terminal/console to desktop config files
[12:43] <Melio> eh
[12:43] <Melio> no biggie. finally fixed it
[12:43] <Melio> thanks for help
[12:43] <kostkon> Melio, np
[12:53] <Kill3r> Hello?
[12:53] <Melio> hi
[12:54] <Kill3r> So what is this whole thing about?
[12:54] <Melio> ubuntu linux support here
[12:55] <shuvojit> anybody ?
[12:55] <Melio> shuvojit, what is the ?
[12:55] <Melio> who makes your harddrive?
[12:56] <shuvojit> wut ?
[12:57] <shuvojit> sorry, was just testing if my mobile irc's working or not:)
[12:58] <Melio> shuvojit, >sudo lshw -class disk
[12:58] <Kill3r> is there any way i can bring my Apps on the desktop?
[12:58] <Melio> it should give you disks, cdroms ect. vendor line tells uo who makes it
[12:58] <Melio> Kill3r, which ubuntu are you running
[12:58] <Kill3r> 14.04 LTS
[12:59] <Melio> kill3r, I was just asking about how to add various things to the launcher
[12:59] <Melio> the launcher is where the defualt applications launch from, you can change those items
[13:00] <Melio> having it it right on the desktop is possible. but not desired by design
[13:00] <Melio> you can also add additional launchers like plank
[13:00] <Kill3r> Okay thanks !
[13:00] <Melio> which kinda looks like macos style launcher on the bottom or wherever you set it
[13:01] <Kill3r> I use one named Dockey or something
[13:01] <Melio> sure
[13:01] <Melio> learn how to add apps to it
[13:02] <Kill3r> Yeah ,what is this whole app about again?
[13:10] <Kill3r> how do i know if anyone is online?
[13:10] <Melio> kill3r depends on what you mean

[13:19] <TurkerTunali> I've installed apache2 on ubuntu desktop 14 and I've changed DocumentRoot. But now I get "ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /index.html on this server." error. What permissions do we need on folder?
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> TurkerTunali  is that a server? there's also #ubuntu-server
[13:24] <TurkerTunali> no I use Ubuntu Desktop
[13:24] <cfhowlett> TurkerTunali, sounds like a question the #apache channel
[13:25] <TurkerTunali> They don't respond but thanks anyway
[13:25] <TurkerTunali> There should be www-data group but I don't have it
[13:26] <bekks> TurkerTunali: Which permissions do you have on that folder then?
[13:26] <bekks> TurkerTunali: And how did you install apache2?
[13:27] <TurkerTunali> Ex DocumentRoot folder is 755 root, new DocumentRoot folder is 700 turker
[13:28] <TurkerTunali> I've installed via sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[13:28] <bekks> !info lamp-server
[13:28] <bekks> TurkerTunali: Uhm, why didnt you just installed apache2?
[13:28] <TurkerTunali> I need php, mysql
[13:28] <ashish979> join #hackerrank
[13:28] <bekks> Then install mysql and php as well.
[13:29] <TurkerTunali> I've installed them
[13:29] <bekks> TurkerTunali: you've installed lamp-server, which is some 3rd party software, since it isnt in the official repos.
[13:30] <TurkerTunali> bekks: ok, thank you
[13:33] <Urchin[emacs]> command line interface to php is in php5-cli

[14:04] <zorka> ty Bobbo
[14:04] <zorka> how can I do this:
[14:04] <zorka> ./emulator-x86 -avd emulator_name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm
[14:04] <zorka> run emulator_name
[14:05] <Moony22> zorka: type it into the terminal and click enter?
[14:05] <holger> hi bezet
[14:05] <zorka> Moony22, yes but instead of writing all that I want to write "run emulator_name" so it is replcaed by "./emulator-x86 -avd emulator_name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm"
[14:06] <Moony22> zorka: ohhh
[14:06] <Bobbo_> zorka: in your .bashrc file you'll have some line like this: alias la='ls -A'
[14:06] <Moony22> ^
[14:07] <Bobbo_> Just add it below like this: "alias emu='/home/$USER/emulator-x86 -adv ...'"
[14:07] <zorka> but emulator_name is a variable

[14:38] <blackangelpr> you must either add manually ppa or you installed something and did not notice that added that ppa
[14:39] <neutrino--> !
[14:39] <t35t0r> so add-apt-repo is broken?
[14:39] <t35t0r> the ppa is showing v31.1.1 of thunderbird is the latest

[14:53] <t35t0r> anyone know how to get the latest firefox and thunderbird on ubuntu without a manual install ? using 13.10
[14:54] <cfhowlett> t35t0r, well FIRST you gotta install 14.04 as 13.10 is end of life = no longer supported
[14:54] <kostkon> t35t0r, support has ended for 13.10 that's why you can't have the latest version of those apps
[14:54] <t35t0r> hrrmm
[14:54] <killer> Hey , How can I contact ubuntu , I submitted 2 apps for software center but they are still "pending review " after 2 months
[14:54] <locoguano> Always want a .04... they have longer support
[14:54] <kostkon> t35t0r, upgrade to 14.04 which has 5y of support
[14:55] <t35t0r> i already ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:55] <Codica> Bit out of place... but how do I divide X into Y random integers? (Their sum must be X.)
[14:55] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | t35t0r, nope.
[14:56] <blackangelpr> t35t0r,   using do-release-upgrade is recommended because it has the ability to handle system configuration changes sometimes needed between releases.
[14:56] <cfhowlett> Codica, ??? ask #algebra
[14:56] <Codica> hmmm
[14:56] <Codica> cfhowlett algebra has 1 person in it >.<
[14:56] <t35t0r> yup running do-release-upgrade
[14:57] <cfhowlett> Codica, this is ubuntu - not algebra homework support.  sorry.
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> Codica  try ##defocus or so
[14:57] <Codica> ok :<
[14:59] <LongCatTH> any bash kungfu?

[15:15] <pompeii> hello everyone, how does one make add-ons appear somewhere in chromium browser? I add it, and the only sign that something is done is that it shows me an icon to rate it, but the add-on is nowhere in the browser to be seen
[15:15] <aus> any suggestions on how to debug a DVD burner that recognizes as only a DVD-RAM (??) writer? Ubuntu Trusty http://pastie.org/9550836 The drive recognizes properly in Arch and Windows.
[15:16] <pompeii> ah, and the add-on is also shown on this page: chrome://apps/  but not on the browser itself
[15:17] <acovrig> I'm trying to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2243570&p=13120364#post13120364 and can't find the vfiobind or vfio-bind commands anywhere (apt-cache, launchpad, google), where is the magical command?
[15:19] <kyle__> Is there a channel for 14.10 questions?
[15:20] <BluesKaj> kyle__, #ubuntu+1
[15:20] <Enghelbert> Hi
[15:20] <kyle__> Thank you
[15:21] <pompeii> chat client was closed. it wasnt me, I swear
[15:21] <pompeii> there used to be good old days where you'd see the add-on next to the address bar when you installed it
[15:23] <blackangelpr> pompeii, might ask on #chrome     ? :p
[15:24] <Nothing_Much> Can I use the Ubuntu pastebin for anything or does it have to be ubuntu related?
[15:24] <blackangelpr> Nothing_Much, http://pastebin.com/
[15:25] <blackangelpr> just in case
[15:25] <blackangelpr> still free
[15:25] <Nothing_Much> got it
[15:25] <geirha> Nothing_Much: anything, but it's a bit annoying for non-ubuntuers. It requires authentication to get to the raw paste. I recommend sprunge.us or ix.io in general
[15:25] <Nothing_Much> tyvm blackangelpr
[15:25] <Nothing_Much> ah okay
[15:27] <zorka> how do I get time in seconds and milliseconds as well?
[15:27] <acovrig> does anyone know the package name that provides vfiobind or vfio-bind? I didn't see it in apt-cahce, but may need to add something to my sources for that to work...
[15:27] <kyle__> zorka: from the command line, or from a particular programming language?
[15:28] <zorka> kyle: shell
[15:29] <darksider> hi all
[15:29] <kyle__> zorka: date can display anything it has a format string for.  I think it has nanoseconds, but not microseconds.
[15:29] <zorka> do how do i call it?
[15:29] <zorka> date
[15:29] <zorka> gives hh:mm:ss
[15:29] <kostkon> zorka, man date
[15:29] <darksider> at boot time, samba service appears two times, one after the other, first time [OK], second time [fail]
[15:30] <kyle__> zorka: formats are % then a symbol it understands.  So date +%s gives you the number of seconds since the epoch.
[15:30] <kyle__> zorka: This would give you the hour:minute:second.nanosecond
[15:30] <kyle__> date +%H:%M:%S.%N
[15:31] <darksider> any ideas how to fix this?
[15:31] <kyle__> darksider: Probably your samba config is borked?
[15:32] <darksider> kyle__: samba works fine. Just wondering why the system tries to load it two times
[15:32] <kyle__> darksider: as root, testparm -A will dump out what samba has as a configuration, including all the default values.
[15:33] <kyle__> darksider: So the service tries to start twice?
[15:33] <darksider> this is what it seems
[15:33] <kyle__> And no /etc/rc.local stuff to try and start it as well?
[15:36] <darksider> kyle__: i get: Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active directory server [OK]. Next line - Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active directory server [fail].
[15:37] <darksider> kyle__: nothing on rc.local
[15:38] <kyle__> darksider: It kindof sounds like it's just a minor issue with the whole sys-v/upstart->systemd debacle ubuntu is going through now.  It's a non-issue, and shouldn't hurt anything.
[15:38] <kyle__> They'll probably fix it sooner or later.
[15:38] <kyle__> Who knows, it could be something not samba related even, and just have the wrong string in there.
[15:39] <darksider> kyle__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/455418/samba-started-twice-on-boot-up-after-upgrade-to-14-04
[15:39] <darksider> seems im not the only one with this issue
[15:39] <darksider> :)
[15:40] <kyle__> darksider: Yeah.  Considering samba is very resilliant (annoyingly so when you want to kill the processes sometimes), it's a non issue :)
[15:40] <darksider> ok then, ill wait for a patch
[15:40] <darksider> :)
[15:42]  * kyle__ sighs.
[15:42] <darksider> kyle__: thanks
[15:42] <kyle__> Now, bluetooth showing up in dmesg but not in CLI or unity, __that's__ an annoying issue for me right now
[15:45] <darksider> kyle__: sounds like a bigger problem than mine
[15:45] <darksider> :)

[16:18] <sydney> What is the code that i need to use to find programs related to the name of one. I am trying to find programs that have in their name 'sdl2'. How do i show them all?
[16:18] <sydney> I have done it before,but cannot remember :-/
[16:18] <daftykins> apt-cache search sdl
[16:19] <daftykins> (after running apt-get update)
[16:19] <sydney> ok :)
[16:21] <TIP88> hello
[16:21] <sydney> Hi :)
[16:22] <sydney> hmm
[16:22] <HideMe> Anyone know how to enable digital output (s/pdif) 5.1 channel audio?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> HideMe: 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
[16:25] <sydney> HideMe: Open your audio prefs.
[16:25] <sydney> it should be in the output section
[16:28] <HideMe> ActionParsnip, okay.... now what?
[16:28] <HideMe> sydney,  In the "sound" config?
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> HideMe: what is the URL it generated please?
[16:28] <sydney> Yes
[16:28] <sydney> it should be.
[16:28] <HideMe> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6d5428214772ed7645260f1eafbc1ef7cd983aab
[16:33] <BluesKaj> HideMe, another method is to open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure spdif and spdif1 are set to pcm and the spdif box shows 00
[16:33] <guillaume_> hello
[16:33] <nearst> hello guy
[16:34] <nearst> guillaume_, do u play blood brother too ? lol
[16:34] <guillaume_> blood brother?
[16:34] <HideMe> BluesKaj, okay I'll check this.
[16:34] <nearst> guillaume_, mobage games, if not. nvm
[16:36] <HideMe> BluesKaj, PMC is 100<>100 and both  S/PDIF S/PDIF D are 00
[16:37] <HideMe> ActionParsnip, Any suggestions?
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> HideMe: I'm no good at sound issues. Mine always just work as my sound setup is simple.
[16:38] <eezi_> hello
[16:38] <eezi_> can i ask something about the installation?
[16:39] <theadmin> eezi_: Ask
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> eezi_: sure
[16:39] <tozen> eezi_: u can read about the installation as well... ;)
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> HideMe: that URL is useful though
[16:39] <BluesKaj> HideMe, ok , make sure alsamixer doesn't show automute as enabled
[16:40] <HideMe> BluesKaj,  It is enabled.
[16:40] <Bud> I am newby and trying to install xsane and gimp.  Have downloaded both packages, need libgimp and apt-get doesn't work\
[16:40] <BluesKaj> HideMe, the disabled automute
[16:41] <BluesKaj> then
[16:41] <BluesKaj> err disable
[16:41]  * BluesKaj reaches for his glasses]
[16:41] <nearzt> Bud, how u install it ? sudo apt-get install xsane gimp ?
[16:41] <kostkon> Bud, downloaded them from where
[16:41] <eezi_> thanks! I wanted to install ubuntu on my acer e360 (1gb ram 2ghz) and i cannot install it neither thru usb nor thru dvd...  it always gets stuck at the verifying dmi pool data screen... I already tried to google this problem but i am too noob maybe ;)
[16:42] <tozen> Bud: pastebin issue of sudo apt-get update to pastebin.ubuntu.com please
[16:42] <Bud> No..I download .deb package and used dpkg
[16:42] <tozen> Bud: send a link here
[16:42] <kostkon> Bud, why?
[16:42] <Bud> How
[16:42] <HideMe> BluesKaj, Working. Now have sound on all 5.   Though in "sound" GUI there is no mode settings or option to test all 5.
[16:43] <kostkon> Bud, install them either by using the software centre or apt-get
[16:43] <tozen> kostkon: he said apt-get is faulty, pal
[16:43] <Bud> I uninstalled software center because it kept finding unavailable repository
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> eezi_: thats not an Ubuntu issue. You meed to pull allower from the system and take the cmos battery out. Leave it out for a good few hours then put back together
[16:44] <Bud> So now I have software center as deb package also.
[16:44] <tozen> Bud: nice!!!
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Bud: that won't fix that.
[16:44] <ikonia> Bud: that sounds like the worst solution ever
[16:44] <eezi_> it's a desktop computer.. i tried to restore the bios settings but no luck
[16:45] <ikonia> eezi_: not an ubuntu issue
[16:45] <ikonia> eezi_: try the guys in ##hardware
[16:45] <Bud> How do I isolate messages according to this thread from others showing up
[16:45] <tozen> Bud: go to pastebin.com and paste an issue of <sudo apt-get update> from your terminal there. Then copy-paste new link here.
[16:46] <kostkon> Bud, you can't. You can hide the joins and quits though
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> Bud: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update , use a pastebin to host the output
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> Bud  you mean the joins and parts? that depends on your irc client
[16:47] <Bud> Joins and quits are a lot of the clutter.  I remind you of me being newbie...so I probably cannot answer many questions
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> Bud  what irc client are you using?
[16:47] <eezi_> thanks.... what's the irc channel of hardware?
[16:48] <kostkon> !quietirc | Bud
[16:48] <ikonia> eezi_: ##hardware as I've just told you
[16:48] <Bud> # ubuntu freenode web IRC
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> eezi_: ##hardware , but I gave the fix :)
[16:48] <nearzt> Bud, u can hide them, depends on irc client
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> Bud: options in the top left
[16:48] <blackangelpr> if xchar righ click on ubuntu channel then settings and hide join etc
[16:48] <reversiblean> Can't find a way to fix "The following packages have unmet dependencies:  phoronix-test-suite : Depends: php5-cli but it is not installed ... E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f."

[16:53] <cxm_> and had to restart my VM
[16:53] <cxm_> is there a log for that?
[16:53] <Bud> OK  ran apt-get updates...whole bunch of stuff, but some not found like  Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-proposed/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: what OS is the VM server?
[16:53] <reversiblean> tozen: ActionParsnip: Here's the output for dpkg --configure .. http://pastebin.com/GW06Adcy
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Bud: if you run: cat /etc/issue , do you see "raring"?
[16:54] <tozen> reversiblean: php5-json phoronix-test-suite
[16:54] <tozen> reversiblean: d u need them?
[16:54] <cxm_> it is an Azure VM with a LAMP stack
[16:54] <nearzt> Bud, sudo lsb_release -a
[16:55] <cxm_> ubuntu 14.04.1
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> nearzt: lsb_release doesnt need sudo
[16:55] <Bud> ActionP yes raring was in file names.
[16:55] <nearzt> << noob
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: did you upgrade directly from Raring to Trusty?
[16:55] <tozen> nearzt: can be witout <sudo> ;)
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: sorry, wrong nick
[16:56] <cxm_> lol i was like huh?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> Bud: did you upgrade direct from Raring to Trusty?
[16:56] <nearzt> didnt know that. always practice sudo
[16:56] <yeats> cxm_: /var/log/syslog should have messages related to what happened
[16:56] <Bud> Release:	13.04 Codename:	raring
[16:56] <cxm_> it just says nul
[16:56] <yeats> Bud: there's you're problem ;-)
[16:56] <reversiblean> tozen: errors first appeared when I tried to install ubuntu-benchmark-tools
[16:56] <tozen> reversiblean: ??
[16:56] <cxm_> gives some normal process and then says nulnulnulnulnul
[16:57] <yeats> !13.04 | Bud
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: ahh so the host OS is Windows?
[16:57] <yeats> !eol | Bud
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> Bud: Raring is EOL and no longer supported.
[16:57] <cxm_> azure so i believe maybe... Azure is it's own thing per se but yes windows nT i am sure
[16:57] <nearzt> ubuntu-distro-info --supported
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> Bud: its like looking for updates for Windows 98, they dont exist
[16:58] <seul> Hi guys! When I connect via ssh to my ubuntu comp back home (another country) and I download that file, is it completely encrypted so my ISP can't see what it is? Sorry if stupid question..
[16:58] <cxm_> so what is nul... is that all i have to go by?
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: check in windows event logs. You also want to look in the logs in /var/log
[16:58] <Bud> So if raring is capute, do I have to upgrade to new release like 13.1 or 14.1
[16:58] <yeats> cxm_: where are you seeing "nul"
[16:58] <ponch_> i'm having trouble trying to dual boot ubuntu on my computer i loaded it onto my flash drive but my BIOS screen isn't being very cooperative -- the usb will not show up as a boot option ... i turned off safe mode and CSM and neither helped... it showed up as a boot priority a few times but when i put it first and attempted to run it windows started instead .... can someone help
[16:58] <yeats> Bud: yes
[16:58] <reversiblean> same error when trying to purge/remove php5-json OR phoronix-test-suite
[16:58] <Seveas> seul: yes, all traffic going over the ssh connection is encrypted.
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> seul: download "that file", what is "that file"?
[16:59] <cxm_> the syslog
[16:59] <Bud> So I burn new CD and then install with live cd and replace old system, not install alongside
[16:59] <kostkon> Bud, and judging from your adventures with apt-get remove i would suggest a cliean install
[16:59] <tozen> reversiblean: well. what we can do is reconfigure /var/lib/dpkg/status file. like a <sudo gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpgk/status>, so use Ctrl+F to find problematic packages and delete full blocks wich begins with <Package name:> then Ctrl+S and <sudo apr-get update>
[16:59] <cxm_> thank god it is load balanced... happened at like 6 this morning... boom crash... i just restarted the vm and it is working fine now
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> Bud: 13.10 is dead too. I suggest you wipe Raring off and do a clean install of Trusty. You can restore user data from your backups
[17:00] <seul> ActionParsnip:  Torrent is not allowed in the US, but is more Ok in Sweden. So I thought I would download (not illegal stuff, only linux dist) it in sweden on torrent and then download it in the Us here via ssh
[17:00] <Bud> So I burn new CD and then install with live cd and replace old system, not install alongside
[17:00] <seul> Seveas:  thanks, i feel safer now =)
[17:00] <tozen> reversiblean: <sudo apt-get autoclean> before <sudo apt-get uodate>
[17:00] <yeats> Bud: yes, probably the easiest method - back up first
[17:00] <kostkon> Bud, correct. Assuming you have backed up your personal files
[17:00] <tozen> *update
[17:00] <ikonia> torrents are allowed in the USA
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> seul: yeah the traffic is encrypred with your key
[17:01] <Bud> I think I'm getting the picture  and will logoff now and go burn a new CD...any recommendations on which one I should use
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> seul: and torrents are alloed in the US. People use it all the time to download Ubuntu for example
[17:01] <reversiblean> tozen: tried both autoclean and clean
[17:01] <Bud> I think I'm getting the picture  and will logoff now and go burn a new CD...any recommendations on which one I should use
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Bud: what spec is the system?
[17:01] <cxm_> any suggestions?
[17:01] <kostkon> Bud, if you have a 64bit cpu, then get the 64bit iso
[17:01] <Bud> I think I'm getting the picture  and will logoff now and go burn a new CD...any recommendations on which one I should use
[17:02] <seul> ActionParsnip:  Oh I thought it was forbidden..
[17:02] <ponch_> kostkon: can you help me please
[17:02] <yeats> cxm_: do you see anything (besides "nul") when you do 'tail /var/log/syslog'?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> cxm_: check logs in windows and in /var/log
[17:02] <kostkon> ponch_, with what?
[17:02] <Bud> I think I'm getting the picture  and will logoff now and go burn a new CD...any recommendations on which one I should use
[17:02] <BUSY> seul: torrents are perfectly legal in the US
[17:02] <ponch_> kostkon: i'm having trouble trying to dual boot ubuntu on my computer i loaded it onto my flash drive but my BIOS screen isn't being very cooperative -- the usb will not show up as a boot option ... i turned off safe mode and CSM and neither helped... it showed up as a boot priority a few times but when i put it first and attempted to run it windows started instead .... can someone help
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> seul: no, just piracy via torremts is illegal which is obvious
[17:02] <Bud> I think I'm getting the picture  and will logoff now and go burn a new CD...any recommendations on which one I should use
[17:02] <ponch_> kostkon: i have been looking around to find a solution but nothing seems to work
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> Bud: what spec is the sytem?
[17:03] <seul> ActionParsnip:  yeah it?s illegal in Sweden too just that we have more privacy laws :P
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Bud: try reading what I write to you rather than blindly pasting the same thing and spamming the channel
[17:03] <Bud> Any recommendations as to which version I should install new
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Bud: READ
[17:03] <Bud> Any recommendations as to which version I should install new
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Bud: last chance, what spec is your sytem?
[17:04] <wisekh> My location: null, Cambodia
[17:04] <tozen> reversiblean: read abowe about /var/lib/dpkg/status, please
[17:04] <Bud> Any recommendations as to which version I should install new
[17:04] <yeats> !repeat | Bud
[17:04] <Bud> Any recommendations as to which version I should install new
[17:04] <yeats> Bud: not cool - we're helping you voluntarily
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Bud: im not helping you anymore, I've tried to be reasonable but you are too stupid to reply to my reasonable question.
[17:05] <kostkon> ponch_, what have you done so far
[17:05] <ponch_> i turned off fast boot
[17:05] <ponch_> i turned csm to disabled
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Bud: I have better things to do than waste my time with the likes of you. I'll help someone cooperative.
[17:06] <ponch_> which made it visible but when i tried to boot off of the usb it opened windows instead
[17:06] <reversiblean> tozen: ok, i'm checking there
[17:06] <ponch_> also if i turned csm to disabled instead of auto or enabled it loads the BIOS screen and tells me i need to turn on CSM
[17:06] <ponch_> kostkon: anything else?
[17:08] <kostkon> ponch_, right
[17:09] <seul> Is transmission a good alternative for downloading torrent over ssh? I want to use magnet links. Is rtorrent better? dont need graphical interface
[17:09] <kostkon> !uefi | ponch_, you could start from here
[17:09] <seul> transmission-remote
[17:09] <seul> lol sry
[17:10] <ponch_> kostkon: ill see what i can do
[17:10] <minion_> how can i start developing ubuntu
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> minion_  read books, watch tutorials
[17:12] <nearzt> !development | minion_
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> minion_  full circle magazine has beginner's tutorials
[17:12] <minion_> suggest me some books and tutos
[17:13] <nearzt> google ?
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> minion_  any will do, to start
[17:14] <cxm_> is there logs for windows azure?
[17:14] <cxm_> how do i check those?
[17:14] <OnkelTem> Hi
[17:15] <lebail> bonjour
[17:15] <reversiblean> tozen: there are two pkgs, that have the status "install ok unpacked", php5-json and phoronix-test-suite ; I'll try deleting both blocks as suggested.
[17:16] <nusr> i'm trying to use python with ubuntu but am having some difficulty. i can't import modules. where do i keep the module? in the same folder as python3.4? i can't cut and paste the file there. how it i do it linux way
[17:16] <ikonia> nusr: try the #python channel, they may have recommended guides
[17:17] <lebail> how to find mail adresses file in the .Thinderbird repertory
[17:17] <nusr> ok thanks ikonia
[17:17] <camtron> Is there a way to make Ubuntu show a generic icon for .dll files,  instead of a square with the first 2 letters of the file? I know that disabling previews would do that, but I still want to see previews for images.
[17:18] <Istalantar> I am trying to delete all the files within a folder which are not ending on .exe or .cpp. I am about to use "find -type f . | grep -vE '\.(exe|cpp)$' | rm" ... will this work?
[17:18] <ikonia> Istalantar: use the -exec option of find
[17:18] <nusr> python channel requires registration
[17:18] <nusr> sigh
[17:19] <bekks> Istalantar: find . -type f -name "*.exe" -exec echo ...
[17:21] <Istalantar> ikonia: bekks: okay, i'll try
[17:25] <Istalantar> bekks: your solution will only find one file type won't it?
[17:25] <bekks> Istalantar: Thats why it is an example only :)
[17:28] <hexafraction> Hi, I'm trying to create a tar archive of a list of files using the syntax tar -cvf outputfile.tar -T myFileList
[17:28] <hexafraction> However, I'm told, "tar: You may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or  '--test-label' option"
[17:28] <qwebirc7305> how do i boot umbuntu in kernal when the computer is starting f1??
[17:28] <hexafraction> I don't appear to have more than one of these options, just -c
[17:28] <ikonia> hexafraction: -t is the file lis flag
[17:29] <hexafraction> There are no aliases for tar in my shell.
[17:29] <hexafraction> ikonia: -t is to output a file list
[17:29] <hexafraction> I want to pack a bunch of files, whose names are already in a given list (text file)
[17:29] <ikonia> I'll hav eto check
[17:29] <ikonia> "have to" check
[17:30] <ikonia> I thought -t was file list input
[17:30] <eeee> hexafraction: -T is for null-terminated filenames
[17:30] <eeee> if you want to use it put it next to czvf or whateve
[17:30] <eeee> *whatever
[17:30] <ikonia> -T, --files-from
[17:30] <eeee> (before the tar archive's name)
[17:30] <ikonia> looks like your right
[17:30] <eeee> ah nevermind
[17:30] <hexafraction> eeee: I don't see why if the file were in fact using \r\n instead, that it would keep tar from parsing the command line
[17:30] <Istalantar> the regular expression '\.(exe|cpp)$' works with grep, why doesn't it with find -regex ?
[17:31] <qwebirc7305> how do i boot in kernal??
[17:32] <ikonia> hexafraction: tar cvfT tarfile.tar listfile.txt
[17:33] <hexafraction> ikonia: It seems that i get an empty tarfile.tar
[17:33] <ikonia> hexafraction: worked fine for me
[17:34] <Novice201y> Hello. Is Unity8 with Mir faster on older machine than Unity7 with X?
[17:34] <ikonia> just untared it to verify
[17:34] <hexafraction> ikonia: I ran tar -cvfT repacked.tar fileList...
[17:34] <hexafraction> ...
[17:34] <qwebirc7305> how can i boot in kernal what is the f key??
[17:34] <hexafraction> and it created a file called T that ended up being a valid tar file that contained fileList
[17:35] <eeee> hexafraction: are you putting a space between cvf and T ?
[17:35] <ikonia> hexafraction: dump the -
[17:35] <hexafraction> ikonia: Dropping the  - causes the error that I cannot specify one or more of -Acdtrux, --delete,...
[17:36] <hexafraction> eeee: No space there
[17:36] <ikonia> hexafraction: show me the exact command you are running
[17:36] <ikonia> and I do me eact
[17:36] <ikonia> exact
[17:36] <Novice201y> join #unity
[17:36] <hexafraction> ikonia: tar -cvfT repacked.tar fileList
[17:37] <ikonia> hexafraction: a.) drop the - as I told you b.) is "fileList" a file containing valid full paths ?
[17:37] <Istalantar> bekks: the regular expression '\.(exe|cpp)$' works with grep, why doesn't it with find -regex ?
[17:37] <hexafraction> ikonia: I stated before, dropping the  - causes the error that I cannot specify one or more of -Acdtrux
[17:37] <hexafraction> fileList contains relative paths.
[17:38] <ikonia> hexafraction: then your tar binary is screwed
[17:38] <ikonia> hexafraction: because it works just fine
[17:38] <qwebirc7305> what do i push when booting to start kernal?
[17:38] <hexafraction> ikonia: I'll try to reinstall it from apt and try again
[17:39] <eeee> qwebirc7305: what do you mean? you want grub to appear?
[17:39] <ikonia> hexafraction: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8336298/
[17:39] <ikonia> hexafraction: that paste shows it taking the two files contained in testlist.txt and creating a tar file
[17:40] <hexafraction> Did testlist.txt contain absolute paths?
[17:40] <ikonia> hexafraction: yes,
[17:40] <qwebirc7305> which F key do i push to load kernal at boot?
[17:40] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: you don't
[17:40] <hexafraction> ikonia: Ah, that could be it.
[17:40] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: the F keys have nothing to do with it
[17:40] <qwebirc7305> my computer is full and i need to delete files so it can boot
[17:41] <hexafraction> qwebirc7305: Then you want recovery mode.
[17:41] <hexafraction> The kernel loads in all cases.
[17:41] <hexafraction> You'd hold shift to see the grub menu if it is immediately bypassed by default
[17:41] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: a ful file system should not stop it booting
[17:41] <qwebirc7305> recovery mode cannot load because the computer is 100% full
[17:41] <qwebirc7305> ok shifting now
[17:41] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: %100 should not stop it booting
[17:41] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: what is the error when it tries to boot
[17:42] <qwebirc7305> 1 sec
[17:42] <qwebirc7305> ok in recovery mode :))
[17:43] <hexafraction> ikonia: Thanks for the help, it seems I was suffering from the XY problem. There was a far more straightforward way to do what I was trying to do/
[17:43] <qwebirc7305> i would want to go into root then -list then delete a file?
[17:43] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: again - a full file system should not stop it booting, so what is the error when it tries to boot
[17:44] <qwebirc7305> how can i list files in root?
[17:45] <daftykins> qwebirc7305: first of all, run "df -h" to see what the disk usage is. paste it to paste.ubuntu.com to share here
[17:45] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: answer the question
[17:45] <ikonia> before you do something that isn't related to the problem of your booting
[17:45] <ikonia> a full disk should not stop it booting
[17:45] <ikonia> actually - I don't care, I'm not begging for information
[17:45] <ikonia> delete what you want
[17:46] <qwebirc7305> this has happen many times i know its because the disk is full
[17:46] <qwebirc7305> i just always forget how to list file and delete a specific file
[17:46] <daftykins> provide the information requests, to progress.
[17:46] <daftykins> *requested
[17:48] <eeee> qwebirc7305: type this df -h | grep /$
[17:48] <eeee> and paste it here please
[17:48] <slack64> q honda
[17:48] <qwebirc7305> im in root but i cant remember the command to list files
[17:48] <qwebirc7305> ls?
[17:48] <daftykins> sigh.
[17:49] <daftykins> qwebirc7305: respond to the requests that are being made of you
[17:49] <DJones> qwebirc7305: You've been asked multiple times to post information, if you don't want help, please don't keep asking without replying to information requests
[17:49] <qwebirc7305> sry
[17:49] <Istalantar> ikonia: i can't find a way to delete my files with -exec of the find command, because -regex of find works somehow differently then with grep
[17:50] <ikonia> Istalantar: run two finds then
[17:50] <qwebirc7305> i just dont see how posting data specs would help
[17:50] <away> df -h lists disk usage
[17:51] <DJones> qwebirc7305: ok, please don't ask again as you're not interesting in providing information
[17:52] <Istalantar> ikonia: how? the first find would delete the files i intend to retain
[17:52] <qwebirc7305> ok  first line /dev/sda1 side 293G used 278G avail 0 use% 100% mounted on /
[17:52] <qwebirc7305> size*
[17:52] <eeee> qwebirc7305: what's the % you get in that command?
[17:53] <ikonia> Istalantar: oh, I see you're trying to do an exclude, not cpp/exe's
[17:53] <qwebirc7305> 100%
[17:53] <daftykins> qwebirc7305: i said post it to paste.ubuntu.com
[17:53] <qwebirc7305> also the overflow is 100%
[17:53] <ikonia> overflow ?
[17:53] <qwebirc7305> i cant paste its on another computer
[17:53] <eeee> ok
[17:53] <qwebirc7305> the compter thats it on cant boot
[17:54] <eeee> did you leave something downloading or something?
[17:54] <qwebirc7305> ya 100% downloading gigs and gigs the computer has killabits free on it it does not have enough memory to boot if i can figure out how to list files on HD and delete a file it will boot this has happen before
[17:55] <eeee> meaning would you like to search for specific files to delete ?
[17:55] <qwebirc7305> yes
[17:55] <daftykins> it still doesn't make sense, stopping booting due to a full disk
[17:55] <daftykins> i disagree with your diagnosis of events
[17:55] <Istalantar> ikonia: exactly ... this: find . -type f | grep -E '(\.exe|\.cpp)$'   finds all files i intend to delete, now i just dont know what command i should add at the end of the pipeline to delete all those files "| rm"  doesn't work.
[17:56] <loa> how i can run command from another user? without password... want something like sandboxing...
[17:56] <eeee> ok, well ls lists files, cd will change directories, and rm will remove them, rm -r will remove folders (it's recursive)
[17:56] <ikonia> Istalantar: you could do it in an array rm -rf `ls -R | grep -E'(\.exe|\.cpp)$'`
[17:56] <ikonia> Istalantar: quick idea without me being bothered to work out the correct find regex
[17:57] <Istalantar> ikonia: okay, thanks
[17:57] <qwebirc7305> @eeee yes i would like to list files in root with the list files command
[17:57] <eeee> qwebirc7305: use ls -lah to view file sizes
[17:58] <eeee> qwebirc7305: if you want to search for big files, use find / -size +<size><unit> , e.g find / -size +1G
[18:00] <qwebirc7305> @eeee ls doesnt seem to be listing ls -lah listed a small list is there a way to ls mp4 files?
[18:01] <eeee> if you want to search for them all find / -iname "*.mp4"
[18:01] <qwebirc7305> do i type find or just /
[18:02] <eeee> find /
[18:02] <yossarianuk> hi - why is deadline the default scheduler?   in a desktop isn't cfq a better choice (as long as you're not using SSD)
[18:03] <ikonia> yossarianuk: what's the problem with deadline
[18:03] <akincer> Have two different laptops with two different wireless chipsets both failing to connect over wifi. This seems like maybe a new bug with a recent kernel version. Anyone else seeing this? Fails to authenticated to the wireless router
[18:03] <qwebirc7305> find / -iname "*.mp4" did nothing
[18:04] <yossarianuk> ikonia: none as such - although apparantly baloo (KDE) works better
[18:04] <yossarianuk>  in CFQ
[18:04] <ikonia> yossarianuk: kde isn't ubuntu
[18:04] <qwebirc7305> nvm there it goes!!!
[18:04] <daftykins> akincer: not when you don't even state the chipsets
[18:04] <qwebirc7305> eeee thank you
[18:04] <akincer> Understand. Given vastly different chipsets, I figured others were seeing it. I'll get them, hang on
[18:05] <eeee> qwebirc7305: np
[18:05] <qwebirc7305> now the remove command would be?? rm then file directory??
[18:05] <eeee> if it's a directory, use rm -r <dir>
[18:06] <eeee> be careful with that..
[18:07] <qwebirc7305> and if its on desktop i do not put /home/name/desktop i just wright destop/folder/file.mp4 right?
[18:07] <genii> eeee: With directories you need -f
[18:07] <geirha> not really
[18:07] <eeee> genii: no you don't
[18:07] <akincer> daftykins: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) / Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)
[18:07] <qwebirc7305> rm -r desktop/foler/file.mp4
[18:07] <qwebirc7305> ?
[18:08] <wosodo> sodo
[18:08] <genii> eeee: If it's empty it will rm, if not you'll get prompted and needs the f
[18:09] <geirha> qwebirc7305: Sure it's not Desktop? the filesystem is case sensitive
[18:09] <eeee> genii: no, if it's empty rmdir will remove, rm -r will remove recursively
[18:09] <eeee> you don't need -f for that
[18:09]  * genii tests
[18:09] <genii> eeee: Hm, yes, apologies.
[18:10]  * genii makes a note
[18:10] <Guest51532> quit
[18:10] <akincer> Both display this message: deauthenticated from <router MAC> (Reason: 2)
[18:11] <qwebirc7305> cannot remove no suck directory
[18:11] <qwebirc7305> such*
[18:11] <wosodo> how do i change server
[18:11] <eeee> genii: no worries :)
[18:13] <eeee> qwebirc7305: you have to specify the complete path
[18:13] <eeee> qwebirc7305: rm -r ~/Desktop/....
[18:14] <eeee> i forgot to tell you
[18:14] <qwebirc7305> ok the command im trying to do is "rm -r /Desktop/Untitled Folder/same-and-carly-exp.mp4
[18:14] <qwebirc7305> there is a space in untitled folder is that a problem?
[18:14] <eeee> you need to add a ~ , ~/Desktop
[18:14] <eeee> qwebirc7305: yes it is
[18:14] <qwebirc7305> oh ya ~ is user
[18:15] <eeee> either escape it using "\" like       Untitled\ Folder
[18:15] <eeee> or i think quotes would work
[18:15] <eeee> rm "~/Desktop/Untitled Folder/same-and-carly-exp.mp4"
[18:15] <eeee> btw no need for -r there, it's for directories
[18:18] <qwebirc7305> no such file or directory with "" one maybe ~Desktop/ instead
[18:20] <away> not ~Desktop, that would mean the home of the user named Desktop
[18:20] <eeee> actually it'd just say /home/userDesktop
[18:22] <geirha> qwebirc7305: rm ~/"Desktop/Untitled Folder/same-and-carly-exp.mp4"
[18:22] <geirha> the important part is that ~/ at the start are outside the quotes
[18:22] <ikonia> it's not
[18:22] <ikonia> because he's root
[18:22] <ikonia> in the recovery shell
[18:23] <ikonia> so ~ is /root
[18:23] <ikonia> which is not where his data is
[18:23] <kingdoom> hi
[18:23] <ryuzaki> h
[18:23] <eeee> ikonia: good catch
[18:23] <kingdoom> any body is here
[18:23] <geirha> In that case,  rm ~username/"Desktop/Untitled Folder/same-and-carly-exp.mp4"   where username is the user's username
[18:23] <kingdoom> i have complain
[18:25] <qwebirc7305> trying all these
[18:25] <qwebirc7305> thanks for the suggestions
[18:25] <geirha> kingdoom: There are many people here. Just ask your question
[18:26] <DJones> kingdoom: Until you explain your ubuntu issue, there's not a lot anybody can do
[18:26] <tozen> geirha: there is no question he has an complain about money free OS :))
[18:27] <kingdoom> i want to report technical glitich in ubuntu  14.04 distro onwards
[18:27] <DJones> !bug | kingdoom This is how,
[18:27] <kingdoom> plz any ubuntu personal here will be appriciate
[18:27] <qwebirc7305> cannot remove read only file well sudo should take care of that??
[18:28] <DJones> kingdoom: See above
[18:28] <tozen> qwebirc7305: sudo -i ??
[18:28] <ikonia> you are already root
[18:28] <ikonia> you are in the recovery console - you are root
[18:28] <kingdoom> DJones : can't i report here
[18:29] <tozen> ikonia: or file system is ro...
[18:29] <DJones> kingdoom: Thats fine, because you're not being asked to report a bug here, see the bots info
[18:29] <naturally> what the most popular game engines that can do development on ubuntu?
[18:30] <kingdoom> it is serious else it would fry ubuntu and its derivatives 14.04 onwards it was not till 13.12
[18:30] <ikonia> kingdoom: just explain the problem
[18:31] <DJones> kingdoom: You said you had a specific problem, either use the links already provided to report a bug, or explain how it affects ubuntu here
[18:32] <EiriksUbuntu> Hello all, how do I get 14.04 to show text instead of a graph in the notifications for any system resources I decide to have shown up there?
[18:32] <qwebirc7305> cannot remove file read-only file system how do i force delete
[18:33] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: it means you have a problem with your file system - which is why I kept asking you at the start "what the error was" before wasting 45 minutes teaching you to delete a file - when that isn't the problem
[18:33] <EiriksUbuntu> qwebirc7305 you have to do it sudo rm -r i think
[18:33] <ikonia> no he doesn't
[18:33] <ikonia> he's alredy root because he's in the recovery shell
[18:33] <kingdoom> DJones  I used ubuntu i felt bug this is ubuntu  channel so it is in disk partitioning program in ubuntu between two partition suppose / and /home or swap it take unpartition free space this was not present in previous one is here anybody use 14.0 4 onwards if they solve this bug plz help
[18:34] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia sorry didn't see your response first
[18:34] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia is that how it would be done though?
[18:34] <DJones> kingdoom: You'll have to give more details than that
[18:34] <ikonia> no
[18:34] <DJones> !details | kingdoom
[18:35] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: When the filesystem is mounted in readonly mode, not even root can add/modify/delete files in it.
[18:36] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha how would you delete a read only file (say if I wanted to replace it with another?)
[18:36] <ikonia> it's not a read only file
[18:36] <ikonia> the file system is read only
[18:36] <EiriksUbuntu> oh, that makes more sense
[18:37] <EiriksUbuntu> how would I manage read only files?
[18:37] <ikonia> for the last time - the files are not read only
[18:37] <ikonia> the file system is read only
[18:38] <geirha> And there's mainly three reasons for a filesystem to be mounted readonly. 1. It was mounted so intentionally to avoid any modifications   2. It's a readonly filesystem by nature, like iso9660,  3. The filesystem is corrupted somehow and the os decides it is unsafe to mount it in readwrite mode.
[18:38] <EiriksUbuntu> i don't get it
[18:38] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: then don't worry about it
[18:39] <EiriksUbuntu> my system has read only files on it right, does that make me in read only mode?
[18:39] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: no it doens't
[18:39] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: what files are "read only"
[18:39] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia some files I download are set to read only
[18:39] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: I don't think they are
[18:39] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: why do you think they are set to read only
[18:40] <kingdoom> any ubuntu admin i need help
[18:40] <ikonia> kingdoom: you've not explained your problem
[18:40] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia I had issues with installing some scripts because they had read only on them
[18:40] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: If you insert a data CD/DVD, can you modify any files on it? no, because the filesystem is readonly. It doesn't matter what permissions and ownershipt the files have, it is readonly, that means no modification possible for that filesystem.
[18:41] <kingdoom> ikonia can i hav private chat so can i briefly make u under stand my problem
[18:41] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: if you're going to be vague about it, it's impossible to discuss the issue
[18:41] <ikonia> kingdoom: just put the problem in the channel
[18:41] <kingdoom> ikonia plz
[18:41] <ikonia> kingdoom: just put the issue in the channel
[18:41] <DJones> !pm | kingdoom
[18:42] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia I was trying to install a tts system for reading irc so I can listen to this and a couple other channels, while I found a script I couldn't install it because it said I don't have permission because the file is a read only file
[18:43] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: that's not a read only file
[18:43] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: that you don't have permissions to that file
[18:43] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: the exact error message would help
[18:44] <qwebirc7305> ok ok so what do i do with a read-only file system???
[18:44] <Zerock> Where can I find the latest Ubuntu MATE iso?
[18:44] <kostkon> !mate
[18:44] <kostkon> :/
[18:45] <geirha> sie joined, asked and left in less than a minute
[18:45] <ikonia> qwebirc7305: that is the question we should have been discussing 45 minutes ago before you wasted peoples time
[18:45] <EiriksUbuntu> ikonia it was a couple days ago, I have already gotten rid of the whole thing (worry wart about oddball stuff so I get rid of all traces and overwrite it 3 times
[18:45] <OerHeks> there is an mate-desktop metapackage, https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/
[18:45] <qwebirc7305> well i thought i knew what was wrong my bad
[18:46] <qwebirc7305> i did learn commands so it was still helpful
[18:46] <EiriksUbuntu> nm I'm just bleh today I better get back to what I was doing before I jump in on a dummy mission again
[18:46] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: If you want to run scripts and run commands in the terminal, I recommend you learn about how ownership and permissions work. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions
[18:46] <EiriksUbuntu> sorry guys
[18:47] <kingdoom>  i update from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 but when i partion ubuntu / and /home and swap unlocated free space took between this very partition if u use ubuntu 14.04 onwards this will you also face with not ubuntu but with its derivatives including linux mint i thing disk part partitioning tool is wrongly programmed plz help
[18:47] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha thanks bookmarked
[18:47] <locoguano> Ah, the Internet... land of no punctuation...
[18:47] <kingdoom> this is glitch
[18:49] <BluesKaj> locoguano, that's due to the lack of grammar in elementary schools nowadays
[18:50] <qwebirc7305> ok so if the file system is read-only i have to remount it??
[18:51] <kingdoom> I WANT TO TALK TO ADMIN OR CHANSERV
[18:52] <locoguano> Is 14.10 stable enough to get now or just wait another month and a half?
[18:52] <rww> locoguano: if you have to ask, wait until it's out
[18:52] <DJones> locoguano: Probably best to ask the people that have been testing it in #ubuntu+1
[18:53] <locoguano> I just haven't been keeping up on this release...
[18:53] <streulma> I want to install Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro 11.1. The native resolution 2560x1600 on a 13 inch is to tiny. What to have to do for good work?
[18:53] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha so -rw-r--[r--]<-- is how the guests sessions can occur?
[18:54] <tozen> qwebirc7305: reboot system holding Shift then choose advanced options -->> recovery mode -->> drop to root shell. after tipe in password and <mount -o remount,rw />
[18:54] <geirha> qwebirc7305: If you didn't mount it readonly on purpose, that probably means it is corrupted and needs a filesystem check (fsck)
[18:54] <xangua> streulma: you mean retina display?
[18:54] <ikonia> tozen: if you can't work a problem through - please don't blindly suggest things
[18:54] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: I don't follow...
[18:54] <streulma> xangua: yes
[18:55] <xangua> streulma: I just know you can scale the menus in unity
[18:55] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha: you gave me the link, I read the first part and wanted to confirm the understanding of what I read
[18:56] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: I don't grok the question; "how the guests sessions can occcur?" makes no sense to me
[18:56] <EiriksUbuntu> guests can only r--?
[18:56] <ikonia> you've not read the links
[18:56] <ikonia> it has nothing to do with "guests"
[18:56] <naturally> what the most popular game engines that can do development on ubuntu?
[18:56] <ikonia> it's user/group/world
[18:56] <streulma> xangua: yes that's an option, but then the mouse is to little. and all is not in proportion. For Firefox Chrome I have to scale all sites to 130%
[18:57] <EiriksUbuntu> I understand the user/group/world I was asking if guests can read only?
[18:57] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: where are guests coming into this ?
[18:57] <ikonia> guest is a "user"
[18:57] <streulma> maybe ikonia knows the answer !
[18:58] <qwebirc7305> YES YES YES
[18:58] <BluesKaj> locoguano, stability on 14.10 seems to depend on which desktop one chooses. KDE on 14.10 with Plasma4 is quite stable for home users , not recommended for work machines as usual for prereleases
[18:58] <EiriksUbuntu> I assumed that guest users fall under this: "The last three characters show the permissions for all other users."
[18:58] <qwebirc7305> thanks you everyone !!
[18:59] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: guest can be the owner
[18:59] <ikonia> EiriksUbuntu: hence why it's an impossible question
[18:59] <locoguano> I have stuck it out with Unity.
[19:00] <EiriksUbuntu> so if a guest wants to edit a file not within the permissions of the guest then the r-- on the end stops them?
[19:00] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: no ...
[19:02] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha: see it's good to check, because now I know I haven't understood that part and need to read more to see if I can move on or if I just have to keep working on that until it does make sense to me
[19:02] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: If the user is not the owner of the file, and the user is not a member of the group that owns the file, THEN and only then does the last three bits apply
[19:03] <geirha> EiriksUbuntu: whether that user is named guest or not is completely irrelevant
[19:03] <EiriksUbuntu> geirha: I understand now, thank you
[19:03] <LukePOLO> Just installed ubuntu on a old windows 2003 server, and after finishing the install and what not, im unable to boot the the grub loader. Instead all i get is "Attempting Boot From Hard Drive (C:)", which leads me to believe somthing is messed up in the mbr , but im not sure. Any Ideas?
[19:04] <EiriksUbuntu> thank you for the patience
[19:05] <iiLezso> I need help with proxies
[19:08] <Beldar> LukePOLO, Is this a wubi install?
[19:09] <LukePOLO> @Beldar no, deleted the windows instances remade the raid's ect.

[19:13] <kostkon> faizan, we are here to help you
[19:14] <faizan> the day after tommorow there is my interview at a software house and they want a bigenner one who knows linux abit
[19:14] <eeee> lie through your teeth
[19:15] <faizan> what should i learn
[19:15] <faizan> please help me
[19:16] <kostkon> faizan, in 2 days? not much
[19:16] <DJones> faizan: This is the Ubuntu support channel, you need to ask specific Ubuntu support questions here
[19:16] <capleton> Hi, does anyone know where i can find log info for a init.d script that's not working?
[19:16] <faizan> yes
[19:17] <OerHeks> capleton, try  /var/log/syslog
[19:17] <faizan> kostkon, i have installed ubuntu
[19:18] <OerHeks> or /var/log/boot.log
[19:18] <eeee> faizan: what do you need to learn about linux?
[19:18] <faizan> and i need learn about command line and some more basics
[19:19] <capleton> thanks OerHeks, unfortunately i don't see any info there either
[19:19] <capleton> do init.d scripts even work on the most recent version?
[19:19] <faizan> eeee are you there...???
[19:20] <xangua> !terminal | faizan
[19:20] <streulma> who wants to help me with Ubuntu on Retina screen? There is no one that will help me here :( I'm alone to solve out.
[19:20] <capleton> or has ubuntu already completely switched to systemd?
[19:20] <streulma> I use Unity
[19:20] <rww> capleton: 14.04 does not use systemd, and 14.10 will not. systemd is slated for some time before 16.04, i believe
[19:20] <eeee> faizan: if it's an interview, i think you should be well versed with linux, as in have a general idea
[19:20] <capleton> thanks rww
[19:21] <capleton> rww: any chance you know how to debug an init.d script that's not firing?
[19:21] <streulma> I tried 1440x900 px nice, but Chrome and Firefox are a bit blurry
[19:21] <rww> nope, i'm incompetent at upstart
[19:21] <capleton> ha, me too it seems :P
[19:21] <faizan> eeee what shoud i versed any main topics...???
[19:24] <capleton> Does anyone here have experience creating and troubleshooting init scripts?
[19:25] <sabel> Does anyone know anything about installing ubuntu onto a chromebook? im havving an issue getting it to actually boot into ubuntu. i think it's not set as the primary or somthing...sorry im really new.
[19:26] <ivan_> ciao a tutti
[19:26] <eeee> faizan: read the wiki page about linux history, then read about commands in the terminal, and stuff like that
[19:26] <eeee> faizan: you should learn to search and solve stuff on your own
[19:29] <geirha> faizan: Learning bash is a good start, see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide

[19:40] <naturally> ubuntu backup all installed packages?
[19:40] <bekks> naturally: Depends on which backup method you are using.
[19:41] <ulrichard> After gpg-agent stopped to work for ssh after some ubuntu upgrade a while back, I launch it and set the env variables in ~/.bashrc. Since then I have to launch evolution from the terminal to have gnupg correctly work with it. But even if I launch firefox from the terminal, it doesn't seem to get the settings for enigform. Where would be a better place for that. The gnupg docs suggest ~/.xsession. But that file doesn't exist on my machine,
[19:41] <ulrichard> and since unity is not based on X11 I don't know if that would still work.

[19:42] <OerHeks> !info mate-desktop
[19:43] <cristian_c> OerHeks, thanks
[19:43] <Guest42> how do i apply this?: If you really need to use these commands with their normal names, you
[19:43] <Guest42> can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc like:  PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

[19:49] <mattpe> need help with dvd drives failing after fresh install of ubuntu 14.04
[19:49] <bekks> Alanbitsch: or atc
[19:52] <mattpe> can anyone help with dvd drive issues?
[19:56] <bekks> mattpe: How do they "fail" exactly?
[19:57] <mattpe> can't burn iso images
[19:57] <mattpe> same equip works fine in windows, but not new install of ubuntu 14.04
[19:58] <mattpe> pauses about every 20% goes to 0 speed, then resumes until complete, but then the discs aren't readable
[19:58] <bekks> mattpe: How many drives did you test? And which burning speed do you use?
[19:59] <mattpe> have 2 identical drives in same machine
[19:59] <mattpe> tested both
[19:59] <mattpe> same in both
[19:59] <mattpe> set speed to auto
[20:00] <bekks> mattpe: Try setting them to a specific speed, and lower the speed if it still fails.
[20:00] <mattpe> tried that using xfburn, k3b, and brasero
[20:01] <zubuntu> guys
[20:01] <zubuntu> when will be the new ubuntu icons available?
[20:01] <bekks> mattpe: Which burning speeds did you try?
[20:01] <zubuntu> it seems not in 14.10
[20:02] <mattpe> 4,8,12,auto
[20:03] <bekks> mattpe: Can you sett a lower speed than 4?
[20:03] <mattpe> thats the lowest setting in the software
[20:03] <ulrichard> Does anybody here have infos on a release date for ubuntu phone?
[20:03] <mattpe> I can burn at 32x in windows without issue

[20:04] <mattpe> yep...tested fine
[20:04] <bekks> mattpe: How long did you run the test?
[20:04] <mattpe> overnight
[20:05] <zubuntu> hi ppl
[20:05] <zubuntu> can somebody inform me about new icons ?
[20:06] <bekks> mattpe: Which type of media are you using - "+" or "-"?
[20:06] <mattpe> dvd+r
[20:15] <naturally> bekks, my goal is to save (and download, if necessary) all .debs that i've gopt currently installed, to a DVD
[20:15] <naturally> gopt = got
[20:15] <bekks> naturally: Ah, I've never wanted that so far.
[20:16] <naturally> you should
[20:17] <daftykins> sounds like a waste of time (:
[20:17] <naturally> it is
[20:17] <bekks> naturally: Why would I waste time like that?
[20:18] <bekks> naturally: I'm backing up my ubuntu installation, not the useless .deb packages.
[20:18] <naturally> maybe you wouldnt, but i would
[20:18] <daftykins> rsyncing them to flash drives or external hard disks would be far wiser

[20:23] <sparlund> hi guys. Im logged in to my ubuntu comp thorugh ssh and tab to finish file name doesnt work. Is that fixable?
[20:24] <daftykins> what shell?
[20:24] <daftykins> are you sure you didn't get the first character's case wrong?
[20:25] <sparlund> daftykins:  talking to me? ssh, and yes
[20:25] <daftykins> ssh is not a shell
[20:26] <sparlund> daftykins:  Ok, thought i mean secure shell something. Is it possible to get tab finish?
[20:26] <daftykins> make sure you're running bash to start with
[20:26] <Bobbo_> sparlund: It does mean secure shell, but it's not a shell. It's a way to connect to a remove shell. :P
[20:26] <spectromas> hello. Was there a kernel update in the few days? My wife's machine now cannot connect to wifi (or show that it has any capability of it) and her touchpad has stopped working
[20:27] <sparlund> Bobbo_:  Ok, thanks =)
[20:27] <sparlund> daftykins:  Ok, could o
[20:27] <daftykins> spectromas: boot to GRUB and pick an older kernel to confirm
[20:27] <Bobbo_> s/remove/remote
[20:27] <sparlund> daftykins:  Ok, could you send me a link on how to look it up or give me a hint?
[20:27] <daftykins> sparlund: no
[20:28] <spectromas> daftykins: how to I get to grub? I don't use ubuntu and my machine gives me grub automatically
[20:28] <daftykins> spectromas: hold left shift before the computer boots from the disk
[20:28] <spectromas> ok thanks daftykins, I'll give that a go
[20:34] <spectromas> daftykins: I booted in to a few different ones, the latest is 3.13.35 I think, I tried the earliest one and still the same thing
[20:34] <daftykins> spectromas: must be other package updates then and not as simple as just the kernel, i've no thoughts on how to go any further i'm afraid
[20:35] <spectromas> ok thanks anyway daftykins
[20:38] <SirRiffsAlot> Hey guys, trying to install 14.04.1 here, having some trouble working out the partitions manually as I've never done this before. Should my swap be 16gb since I have 16gb RAM? Should it be ext3 or ext4? How many partitions will I need in total to set this up right?
[20:38] <daftykins> swap should only equal RAM if you want to suspend or hibernate
[20:39] <daftykins> i'd say doing so is a big waste of time
[20:39] <bekks> SirRiffsAlot: If you ever want to suspend your system, you need as much swap as yout RAM.
[20:39] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: what disks do you have?
[20:40] <SirRiffsAlot> bekks: meaning?
[20:41] <bekks> SirRiffsAlot: meaning of what?
[20:41] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: only have one disk, but partitioning it correctly is confusing me a bit
[20:41] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: ok so how big is it?
[20:42] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: the space designated in total for Ubuntu is 728gigs
[20:42] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: ok that's loads, i'd make 20GB for / ext4, 4GB swap and the rest as ext4 /home
[20:43] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: any particular way of setting up that would be best-suited for Studio-use incidentally?
[20:43] <bekks> If he ever wants to use suspend or hibernate, he'll need 16GB swap.
[20:43] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: yeah, wondering still about the 16gb thing
[20:43] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: there are lots of different kinds of studio
[20:43] <daftykins> bekks: yeah we had that conversation already though
[20:43] <daftykins> i'm the one the just got out of hospital and is forgetting things ;)
[20:43] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: why ext4?
[20:44] <bekks> SirRiffsAlot: ext4 is the default filesystems on Ubuntu nowadays.
[20:44] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: and I seem to remember being told to make another partition too, something about BIOS
[20:44] <bekks> -s
[20:44] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: perhaps you were told something about EFI
[20:44] <SirRiffsAlot> Was the install that prompted me that message by the way
[20:45] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: what OS is on this disk already? are you in a live session right now preparing to install? you should show us the disk setup as is
[20:45] <bekks> SirRiffsAlot: Which message?
[20:46] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: windows is on it already. gonna get you a screenshot in a minute
[20:46] <Novice201y> Hello. How can I install LXDE to Ubuntu 14.04 - just DE without apps?
[20:47] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: info from within a live session would be far more useful. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[20:47] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: yeah, I'm in a  livesession, will do sec
[20:48] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: windows 8 yes?
[20:48] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: unfortunately yes
[20:49] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: and now I'm getting duplicate sources.list erroes :(
[20:50] <SirRiffsAlot> errors*
[20:50] <camtron> Is it even possible to install Abiword 2.8.6 on Ubuntu 12.04?
[20:50] <daftykins> issues in a live session already 0o
[20:50] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: I'll reboot a fresh one, brb
[20:50] <daftykins> !find abiword precise
[20:50] <_blk> Novice201y, not quite sure what you mean by "without apps", but maybe you're looking for "apt-get install lxde-core"? (you might have to enable the universe package repository)
[20:50] <camtron> I tried compiling from source and got g++: error: unrecognized option '--no-undefined'!
[20:51] <daftykins> !info abiword precise
[20:51] <daftykins> camtron: ^
[20:51] <camtron> I hear tons of complaints about 2.9.2 being unstable, so I want to install 2.8.6.
[20:52] <daftykins> camtron: good luck then! :)
[20:52] <Guest608> I'm gonna legally change my name to Guest608
[20:53] <camtron> and why would Ubuntu put a development version in the repositories, instead of the latest stable version?
[20:54] <daftykins> camtron: i'd bet it's a lot more productive to contact the package maintainer for the program, rather than ask in a volunteer run channel on IRC (:
[20:56] <camtron> I just found an updated source package that's supposed to have that issue fixed, so I'll try it.
[20:57] <daftykins> very well, but you're on your own with unofficial debs
[20:59] <CorgiSquidman> Why is xubuntu .torrent?
[20:59] <SirRiffsAlot> Ok, fresh live session now
[21:00] <killer> Hey , how can i contact ubuntu , I have sumitted apps for software center,since  2 months  but still status is "Pending Review" ?
[21:00] <SirRiffsAlot> Honestly... duplicate sources.list again
[21:00] <SirRiffsAlot> This is a 64-bit cd if that matters
[21:01] <OerHeks> CorgiSquidman, an .iso.torrent file is supposed to open in transmission to download the iso
[21:01] <OerHeks> *or other torrentclient
[21:02] <SirRiffsAlot> bekks: so what do I do now?
[21:03] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: skip onto installing pastebinit instead as instructed
[21:05] <Priscillia23>  You can find funny videos here. http://tinyurl.com/ozfvxy3
[21:06] <camtron> What is a .diff.gz file and a .dsc file?
[21:06] <daftykins> make sure nobody clicks the above link.
[21:06] <Poppabear> question, is there away to get a % of eth0 activity with a simple 1 liner ?
[21:06] <ikonia> camtron: you really shouldn't be doing it if you don't know/not prepared to check
[21:07] <ikonia> Poppabear: % ?
[21:07] <daftykins> percent utilisation i suspect Poppabear is after
[21:07] <Poppabear> sure :P
[21:07] <ikonia> the network card end is never going to be %100 utilised, it's the recieving end that matters
[21:10] <pyro__> Hey
[21:10] <pyro__> whats gonig on?
[21:10] <ikonia> pyro__: check the channels /topic
[21:10] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: Setting up pastebinit (1.4-3) ... W: Duplicate sources.list entry.............
[21:11] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: uh-huh, "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[21:12] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8337686/
[21:13] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: haven't formatted the 728 gig partition in case you're wondering
[21:13] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: yeah, so you need to be sure that you've been booting Ubuntu in EFI mode
[21:13] <daftykins> !efi | SirRiffsAlot have a read here
[21:14] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: hmm
[21:16] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: well, supposing I do disable these things, won't I still get the same problems when I try to install ubuntu studio on my empty partition?
[21:19] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: i wasn't intending for you to disable anything, just be sure you're booting in EFI mode. is this a 14.04 studio? i'm not familiar with that release
[21:19] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: it is 14.04 yes
[21:19] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: EFI-mode.. ok sec
[21:20] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: nah, I see nothing of the kind when I boot this live-cd (which is 64-bit), I see only the usual ubuntu-studio equivalent of that second picture
[21:21] <daftykins> second pic?
[21:21] <user1> please sent me a reply about 5 seconds
[21:21] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: is it necessary to make this machine EFI-mode?
[21:21] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: it already is
[21:22] <Morphius> sup peeps
[21:22] <daftykins> Morphius: please see the topic
[21:22] <streulma_> can I disable SubPixel rendering ?
[21:22] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: I just told you it wasn't :-S
[21:22] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: sorry, what am I missing here
[21:22] <Morphius> how do i get to a more social area
[21:22] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: the windows 8 install is EFI :)
[21:23] <Morphius> new to Linux
[21:23] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: oh... yeah *cough*
[21:23] <daftykins> Morphius: this channel is for support questions, general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:23] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: but... then that guide is not a solid once, because I was lead to think the opposite
[21:23] <Morphius> not that it matters but i found my way here
[21:23] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: oh well, now what?
[21:23] <streulma_> daftykins: if I scale to 1440x900 then Firefox and Chrome are blurry on Retina Ubuntu
[21:23] <Morphius> kk
[21:24] <Morphius> thanks guys
[21:24] <SirRiffsAlot> Morphius: good luck!
[21:25] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: you see how in your pastebin it has an EFI boot partition? (#2) that means you have to make ubuntu install media boot in EFI mode so you can install in EFI mode beside windows 8, if you want to keep both
[21:26] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: right. Is that something I have to do when I choose to boot this livecd?
[21:26] <daftykins> yes
[21:27] <daftykins> it should all be explained on that link about EFI
[21:27] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: you got it, brb! :)
[21:35] <pompeii> hello everyone, do we have an alternative to this horrid imposition: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games ?
[21:36] <pompeii> I wish to avoid flash, and a video on a site asks for flash plugin, is it possible to circumvent this?
[21:36] <ikonia> pompeii: that page is obsolete now
[21:36] <pompeii> oh
[21:36] <pi___> ...
[21:37] <SonikkuAmerica> "Horrid imposition?" Sounds like a loaded question to me
[21:37] <ikonia> pompeii: no, you need a flash player to see flash content, and as flash is "dead" on linux, you hit problems
[21:37] <daftykins> if a site needs flash, it needs flash
[21:37] <OerHeks> pompeii, install ubuntu restricted metapackage for flashplugin, java codecs and more
[21:37] <SonikkuAmerica> pompeii: You can use pepper-flashplugin-nonfree on Chromium
[21:38] <SirRiffsAlot> So now I booted into UEFI-mode :)
[21:38] <pompeii> nice.
[21:38] <SirRiffsAlot> Should it have been EFI specifically? UEFI-mode looked just like the guide mentioned
[21:38] <SirRiffsAlot> I'll try the install now, see what happens
[21:38] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: good stuff, so install with 20GB / ext4, 4GB swap and the rest of the space as /home ext4
[21:39] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: so I need to partition these first anyway? Why 4gb swap :P
[21:40] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: because i said so :)
[21:40] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: just run the installer and when it asks to partition, select 'something else' and create them manually
[21:40] <pompeii> SonikkuAmerica, so pepper flash is the substitute of flash for linux, as far as I gather
[21:40] <daftykins> pompeii: no. it's flash for chromium, as mentioned
[21:41] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: ugh... was hoping to avoid that, but alright. Why was this UEFI even necessary then?
[21:41] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: advancements in the industry, to put it simply.
[21:41] <daftykins> disks grew too big.
[21:42] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: with all due respect, if I can utillise 16gb memory, I'd like to do that :/
[21:42] <SirRiffsAlot> Can you please explain why 4gb?
[21:42] <ikonia> SirRiffsAlot: what makes you think you won't utilise your ram ?
[21:42] <pompeii> daftykins, thought so as you said adobe flash is no more on linux, or at least no more a one-click thing
[21:42] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: making your swap file bigger doesn't have anything to do with your RAM.
[21:42] <ikonia> pompeii: adobe have dropped linux support for flash
[21:42] <daftykins> pompeii: i said nothing about adobe flash's status on Linux
[21:43] <SirRiffsAlot> ikonia: silly mix-ups I guess..
[21:43] <pompeii> no, you didnt. I referred to ikonia's post
[21:43] <pompeii> daftykins, no, you didnt. I referred to ikonia's post
[21:43] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: using sleep or hibernate on a desktop is a big waste of time, that'd be the only reason to set swap to 16GB. 4GB is the sane maximum when not doing that.
[21:43] <myndzi> i'm trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04, but getting a 404 on a file 'quantal.tar.gz.gpg' -any ideas?
[21:43] <myndzi> er well, 12.04 to 12.10 i suppose it is first
[21:43] <daftykins> myndzi: you can't, 13.04 and 13.10 are dead.
[21:43] <ikonia> myndzi: 13.04 is dead
[21:43] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: okay
[21:44] <myndzi> well that's irritating
[21:44] <daftykins> myndzi: if you want to upgrade, you can upgrade direct from 12.04.5 -> 14.04.1
[21:44] <ikonia> myndzi: 14.04 shoul dbe your upgrade target
[21:44] <daftykins> (LTS to LTS)
[21:44] <myndzi> i ran into some package that seems to be unavailable on 12, but i need a ppa that has nothing for 14
[21:44] <myndzi> guess i get to compile from source. yay.
[21:45] <daftykins> thems the brakes.
[21:45] <myndzi> i find it a little hard to believe that a whole distro release just disappeared off the net though, surely there's some way to accomplish this
[21:45] <pompeii> here I found a few things on it: https://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer
[21:46] <ikonia> myndzi: it's  been moved to the archive server
[21:46] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: hmm, so 20gb and 4gb in MB is what precisely? :D
[21:46] <ikonia> myndzi: it's EOL so not supported
[21:46] <myndzi> i don't want support
[21:46] <daftykins> myndzi: it would be idiotic to install a dead release.
[21:46] <ikonia> myndzi: yet you're asking for support
[21:46] <ikonia> "how do I" = support
[21:46] <myndzi> heh
[21:46] <myndzi> i'm not asking for support using 13.anything :)
[21:46] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: *sigh* multiply by 1024 to get a rough value
[21:46] <ikonia> myndzi: you are, "how can I use 13.04 when it's EOL" = support
[21:47] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: sorry :P
[21:47]  * myndzi sighs
[21:47] <pompeii> interesting, the debian package downloads chrome browser to install pepper
[21:48] <OerHeks> pompeii, don't use debian wiki's for ubuntu :-D
[21:49] <OerHeks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash
[21:49] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: and device for boot loader installation should be where it's at now, /dev/sda ?
[21:53] <pompeii> OerHeks, didnt expect them to have different packages, therefore referred to it. but one attributes ownership to adobe, and the other maintenance to google. two things haven
[21:54] <pompeii> two things have it in common to be nonfree
[21:56] <minitrue> hi!
[21:56] <OerHeks> pompeii, you can check here if you have the latest http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ pepperflash + flashplugin
[21:56] <pyro> hey
[21:57] <minitrue> its my first time here, i dont want to troubleshoot anything but i have some doubts, it would be ok if i ask?
[21:57] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: yes
[21:57] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: what kind of computer is this btw?
[21:57] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: hehe, already started, figured it had to be. This is a HP envy dv7, why?
[21:58] <pompeii> OerHeks, I didnt have flash at all, but found pepper in repos. installing now
[21:58] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: curious to understand the next steps better. you may well find it only boots into windows 8 and doesn't even offer Ubuntu after install, but that can be resolved.
[21:58] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: yeah, I know how to deal with that... I think
[21:58] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: the bootloaderfixthing, can't recall the name hehe
[21:59] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: is this with HP's it tends to happen?
[21:59] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: well, you change the boot entry inside the laptop's BIOS/EFI to be the hard disk instead of 'Windows boot manager'
[21:59] <daftykins> SirRiffsAlot: no, standard fare
[21:59] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: ah, that was new to me, thanks for saving me the googling-time :)
[22:00] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: ok, installing *fingers crossed*
[22:03] <pompeii> thank you all for your help!
[22:07] <minitrue> i have a https connection from bamfdaemon, is this a normal thing?
[22:07] <usercensored> To anyone: I'm just a hobbyist, personal computer user. I made a sh script to run every hour to run a speedtest.net python script (speedtest-cli). I want to keep it from trying to run every hour. Where might I have made it do that? I forget...
[22:08] <daftykins> usercensored: cron?
[22:08] <usercensored> I looked at /etc/crontab and sudo /etc/crontab, there is nothing there. Where else? lol
[22:08] <usercensored> And I know it ran today per-hour.
[22:09] <usercensored> I knwo it was cron or something like cron, is there any other file like cron? with the time settings at the beginning followed by command?
[22:09] <spearhead> usercensored, have you tried running crontab -e and sudo crontab -e?
[22:10] <usercensored> no, that sounds familiar, maybe that was it, let me see
[22:11] <usercensored> that was it, crontab -e. I didn't understnad that was different than /etc/crontab??
[22:11] <usercensored> Thanks so much
[22:11] <trijntje_> I want to run a backup script during shutdown so I'm sure no user files are in use, what is the best way to do this?
[22:14] <wafflejock> trijntje_: is this just a laptop/desktop? typically I just use DejaDup through the built in backup utility (in gnome but think it's the same) this does daily backups of your files
[22:15] <wafflejock> trijntje_: for AWS or other cloud hosts I know there are scripts available to shutdown an instance then take a snapshot then start the instance back up but don't think you can easily automate such a thing on a laptop/desktop, you might be able to do it with rsync but not sure about hooking into the shutdown process
[22:15] <usercensored> Is he asking how to backup? Or how to check that user files aren't being used when computer powers off?
[22:15] <wafflejock> think the idea is let all the processes (mysql or whatever) shut down so there's no chance for pending changes then take a backup
[22:15] <wafflejock> not sure
[22:16] <trijntje_> I already made a script using rsync to backup a users home, but now I want to automate running it while making sure that the account is not in use
[22:16] <trijntje_> I'm worried that if I create a backup while the home dir is in use it could lead to a backup that is in a messed up state and cannot be recovered
[22:16] <usercensored> I guess you could make it log out the user first, or check all logged in users before.
[22:17] <SirRiffsAlot> daftykins: okay, installed now, gonna reboot into bios and see how it goes! Be back with feeback in a bit
[22:17] <trijntje_> I was hoping to hook it into the shutdown sequence somewhere so it doesn't bother the users
[22:18] <wafflejock> trijntje_: perhaps this http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/create-an-automatic-backup-when-you-logout/
[22:19] <usercensored> You could announce shutdown at like X hour, log everyone out, run script, then actually shutdown at +5min.
[22:19] <daftykins> thats not the use case
[22:19] <trijntje_> wafflejock: that looks nice, I'll have to experiment a bit to see if shutdown waits for that .bash_logout to exit before proceeding
[22:20] <wafflejock> trijntje_: yeah haven't done such a thing myself but looks like it's what you want, let us know how it goes
[22:21] <usercensored> Does anyone know a good non-hackish way to send deja-dup/duplicity backups to google drive? does it exist yet?
[22:21] <trijntje_> wafflejock: its already late where I am, so I'm gonna try it in the moring. Thanks again, if it works its a lot simpler then I thought it would be
[22:22] <usercensored> bye thanks for everyones eyeballs.
[22:22] <wafflejock> usercensored: not sure looks like S3 and rackspace are the only built in options unless you can somehow FTP or SSH or something into a GDrive account by pretty sure it requires using google auth
[22:23] <usercensored> k thanks. I think i'm gonna just have to make a "grive" (commandline" dropbox-style folder set it on my external drive, then backup to my drive and have it also sync to gdrive, and have local & offline copy. peace
[22:25] <minitrue> so, i have this "indicator-messa" connecting to internet, anyone knows anything about that?
[22:26] <josh_uas> hi everyone -anyone know of a channel for building your own pc - I have some questions around choosing a motherboard for your cpu
[22:27] <OerHeks> josh_uas, try ##hardware
[22:28] <josh_uas> OerHeks, thanks
[22:38] <SirRiffsAlot> So the install was successful, but setting things to legacy mode still boots me automatically into winblows, I can only boot into it if I go into boot-list and choose Ubuntu (there are two ubuntu-options, one "Ubuntu" and one "ubuntu", I guess like it shows up in GRUB)
[22:38] <SirRiffsAlot> How I set it to not boot via OS... I can't work it out
[22:39] <ikonia> it's called "windows"
[22:40] <SirRiffsAlot> ikonia: nah, I used that spelling consciously :P
[22:40] <ikonia> good luck getting help then
[22:40] <SirRiffsAlot> ikonia: ... have you no sense of humour? Questions still stands for those who do :)
[22:41] <ikonia> SirRiffsAlot: I do, I just find it rude/stupid to call "Windows" - which YOU choose to have installed on your system "winblows"
[22:41] <irgendwer4711> hi, what are the ...bdw kernel modules for?
[22:41] <SirRiffsAlot> ikonia: for now I am forced to, I'm merely hinting to the fact that I know it sucks, and I wish things were otherwise
[22:41] <ikonia> SirRiffsAlot: it doesn't "suck" though
[22:42] <ikonia> SirRiffsAlot: should I call you sirsucksalot because you seem to "suck" at configuring your system ?
[22:42] <ikonia> no, because it's rude
[22:42] <SirRiffsAlot> ikonia: of course it does, that's why GNU/Linux exists hehe
[22:42] <ikonia> so have a bit of respect for the products
[22:42] <SirRiffsAlot> I do suck at configuring my system, I never said otherwise
[22:42] <SirRiffsAlot> And I don't have respect for the product, it's vile and a disgrace :)
[22:42] <SirRiffsAlot> I am not however a computer-wizard, hence I came here
[22:45] <gueriLLaPunK> what does the (!) mean in in the uptime portion of htop? (e.g. Uptime 104 days (!), 1:59:34
[22:45] <kamlesh> utfghjkl;'
[22:46] <ikonia> gueriLLaPunK: I suspect it's something it can't calculate, what does the docs say ?
[22:46] <gueriLLaPunK> ikonia, i havent checked the docs
[22:46] <ikonia> perhaps checking what's expected there would be a good start
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> nothing on the htop website
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> and googling it doesnt give me any info
[22:49] <ikonia> gueriLLaPunK: on the screenshots onthe website, what is there where you have (!)
[22:49] <ikonia> I suspect it's just a pamameter thats not configured in your config so it shows (!) as it's unknown
[22:49] <OerHeks> gueriLLaPunK, " it is a bonus letting you know that your server has been up for a long time. Basically anything over 100 days of uptime will produce an exclamation mark next to the uptime reading."

[22:51] <MoleMan> anyone know if it's possible to disable a physical volume control in 14.04?
[22:51] <OerHeks> now i want a ! too ..
[22:51] <genii> gueriLLaPunK: Basically if over 100 days it shows it
[22:51] <gueriLLaPunK> sweet :D
[22:51] <MoleMan> there's a reall annoying volume scroll on the front of my laptop that's really annoying
[22:51] <gueriLLaPunK> i wonder what happens after 200 days
[22:53] <Re_Sole> WeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEe
[22:57] <MoleMan> well there goes that server

[23:16] <wad> So the version of gcc that comes with 14.04.1 appears to be 4.8. I'm trying to work with some code that needs 4.6 instead. Is there a way to install that alongside? I googled, and tried some "update alternatives" stuff, but it didn't seem to be working.
[23:17] <teward> wad: did you install gcc-4.6 ?
[23:17] <wad> I'm doing that step now, actually.
[23:17] <wad> I think I can just switch some symlinks....
[23:17] <teward> wad: yeah, but it's better to use `update-alternatives` i think
[23:18] <wad> root@playa:/usr/bin# update-alternatives --config gcc
[23:18] <wad> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gcc
[23:18] <wad> What am I doing wrong?
[23:18] <wad> I've got both 4.6 and 4.8 installed now...

[23:25] <Bashing-om> wad: Not that it hels much, but; verify what is installed: -> sysop@1404mini:~$ apt-cache policy gcc >> Candidate: 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 <- I would expect version 4.8 to be a long way up the pipe line yet.
[23:25] <Bashing-om> hels/helps*
[23:25] <Nothing_Much> #ubuntu+1
[23:25] <Nothing_Much> daftykins: Thank you
[23:25] <wad> thanks!
[23:28] <wad> Yes, it's using 4.8 currently. apt-cache policy confirmed. So I can manually repoint the symlink in /usr/bin/gcc to the other version of gcc that I installed (4.6), and then the "gcc --version" shows that version, but there are probably other symlinks that need to be switched over also.
[23:41] <Timoty> Hello, can we force a higher screen resolution?
[23:41] <daftykins> you might want to explain the situation a bit more
[23:42] <Timoty> I want to try to see how a retina resolution looks lH
[23:42] <daftykins> no, LCDs have a finite number of pixels - you can't draw on what isn't there
[23:42] <Timoty> can we set a resolution that's not listed in Ubuntu resolutiP
[23:43] <Timoty> oh oky
[23:43] <Timoty> where is the xorg.conf please?
[23:43] <daftykins> it's not used anymore, so you likely won't have one
[23:43] <Gost_4015> HaHaHaHaHaHaHa
[23:43] <Gost_4015> ok ok Ok oK Ok oK Ok oK
[23:43] <Timoty> it's not in /etc/X11/ ?
[23:43] <daftykins> however if it did exist, it would be stored in /etc/X11/

[23:46] <mickey> Hello everyone! I would have liked to ask this question in the ubuntu-boot channel but it's empty.
[23:46] <mickey> So here goes
[23:47] <mickey> Ubuntu 14.04 - I would like to update my GRUB2 set up so that the first option in the list is my Windows 7
[23:48] <daftykins> mickey: look up setting the default entry
[23:50] <mickey> First when I updated to to 14.04 I have to enter /usr/bin every time I type commands
[23:52] <mickey> When I tried to find the /etc/default/grub file it was empty :/
[23:56] <camtron> I have no idea what happened, but Ubuntu Software Center seems broken. No matter what I try to install, I get this: Not found. There isn't a software package called "file:" in your current software sources.
[23:58] <mateusjr> er
[23:58] <xangua> camtron: are you trying to install "file"? Could you provide a little more information like what ubuntu release you use or the install output on a terminal?
[23:59] <mateusjr> que   er
