| simonsaysdiaf | Hello. I was trying to help my friend fix his login issue, and I believe that I commented something or edited something in a way that broke login completely. Previously the GUI login would be caught in a boot loop, but then i could get to the tty. Now when I go to the tty, it's just a hanging screen. there's a blinking cursor but I can't login or input text at all. | 00:55 |
| quantibility | anyone got time to help me with my decrypted drive problem? | 00:55 |
| TLoFP | hi, I did a dual boot of ubuntu and windows and now windows won't start anymore: GRUB recognized windows correctly and the windows loader starts but it doesn't actually do anything other then show th esplash screen, what could the problem be? | 00:56 |
| quantibility | TLOFP sounds to me like windows problem persay | 00:56 |
| iFire | TLoFP: you know how to tell windows to reset the boot loader? | 00:57 |
| quantibility | perhaps ubuntu changed a few things that windows now doesn't recognize as proper | 00:57 |
| Bashing-om | simonsaysdiaf: Can you log in through grub's recovery console ? | 00:57 |
| iFire | that'll make it work | 00:57 |
| ObrienDave | TLoFP, start windows again, tap F8 key for boot menu, go into safemode with networking and restart | 00:57 |
| simonsaysdiaf | Bashing-om: it seems like he's bypassing grub | 00:57 |
| simonsaysdiaf | any idea how to get to grub? | 00:57 |
| quantibility | ObrienDave is right | 00:57 |
| quantibility | so | 00:57 |
| TLoFP | IFire no I do not | 00:57 |
| quantibility | anyone with the encrypted drive problem i got going? | 00:58 |
| TLoFP | ObrienDave I will try safe mode | 00:58 |
| ObrienDave | quantibility, not if you don't explain what the issue is :) | 00:58 |
| somsip | quantibility: just say what the problem is and people will help if they can | 00:58 |
| quantibility | ok, I decrypt the drive and bam the icon in Desktop vanishes | 00:58 |
| quantibility | im on USB stick | 00:59 |
| quantibility | installed xubuntu | 00:59 |
| TLoFP | OBrienDave I did so and it loaded a bunch of drivers but then just stops at some point | 00:59 |
| Bashing-om | simonsaysdiaf: Try: reboot, and as soon as the bios screen ckears, depress and hold the right shift key -> grub boot menu, -> advanced -> choose a 'recovery' kernel, enter key to start the recovery console. | 00:59 |
| ObrienDave | what was the last one? | 00:59 |
| Bashing-om | ckears/clears* | 01:00 |
| simonsaysdiaf | Bashing-om: okay i'll try that thanks | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | somsip: Once in the recovery console, will see what we can do. | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | simonsaysdiaf: ^^, soory to ping on ya somsip ! | 01:01 |
| simonsaysdiaf | np :) | 01:01 |
| simonsaysdiaf | he's currently trying to put another harddrive in, so we'll see. this computer had the most bizarre setup I'd ever seen | 01:01 |
| quantibility | ObrienDave, i recently had a boot problem with my Xubuntu installation after update, I use low latency and various other drivers cores, so i just didn't wanna reisntall, so i USB ed and installation in hopes i can just copy usb files to the HD and hope for the best | 01:02 |
| simonsaysdiaf | he had upstart and systemd stuff. he said he did a fresh install og 14.04 and it was the most jacked up install i've ever seen | 01:02 |
| Bashing-om | simonsaysdiaf: ubuntu is making the switch to systemD, and there is now a bit if it in the operating system. | 01:09 |

| TLoFP | so I have tried everything to fix the windows install, including trying to boot windows recovery from an external drive, but they all exhibit the same problems | 01:22 |
| TLoFP | it stops booting | 01:22 |
| TLoFP | now, please don't write this off as a "windows" problem | 01:22 |
| TLoFP | I have had problems before were my sound did not work on the windows7 install because I had it muted in Ubuntu | 01:22 |
| TLoFP | in other words Ubuntu seems to be capable of making changes that effect the windows partition | 01:23 |
| TLoFP | I can only assume that this happens via the BIOS | 01:23 |

| Bashing-om | TLoFP: Nope, Operating system(S) do not write back to bios : https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader . | 01:26 |
| ObrienDave | TLoFP, how long do you let it sit? | 01:27 |
| TLoFP | ObrienDave, longest I left it was 30 min | 01:27 |
| ObrienDave | k | 01:27 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, then explain why I can I disable the the sound device by muting it in linux? | 01:27 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, then explain how I can, via software, turn off physical devices like WiFi | 01:28 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: That is hardware, yeah it does happen. But hardware is not bios. Most times the hard ware is controlled by some driver. if the driver leaves the hardware in some state, well that is the state the hardware is left in. | 01:29 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, ok.. my diagnosis was wrong then, it doesn't change the bios | 01:30 |
| TLoFP | but i am now left in the situtation where Ubuntu made a change to my hardware that leaves me unable to boot windows | 01:30 |
| TLoFP | and I don't know when it happaned because I was dual booting fine for some time | 01:31 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: Yepper, no writting back to bios .. CMOS, very limited means to rewite bios. OK, I have not followed your situation. Restate it for me and I will give an opinion, bear in mind I am no longer Windows litererate, but I am not senile. | 01:32 |
| === peter is now known as Guest41472 | ||
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, I am dual booting Ubuntu and Windows. I shutdown Ubuntu and went to boot windows. Grub worked fine. Even the windows boot loader worked fine. However windows just gets stuck at the splash screen. A verbose boot into safemode reveals that it loads drivers but hangs at some point (seems to be always the same driver). | 01:33 |
| TLoFP | Bash_Rules, I am convinced that Ubuntu did something to the hardware because: I can not boot into recover mode, either from the internal disk or from an external drive (windows recovery mode). 2: because I know this laptop exhibits the following "bug" if I mute the sound in Ubuntu and then shutdown and boot to windows, windows does not find any audio devices. | 01:35 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: (think BOOT CODE ). Boot code gets corrupted, and no will be able to hand off to the operating system. Be a pain, but in Windows 'fixmbr', boot Windows, all good with Windows, OK, now (re-)install ubuntu's grub - liveDVD - , "sudo update-grub" to chainload Windows. // We are talking that Windows and ubuntu are installed to the same hard drive, right ? | 01:37 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, yes windows and ubuntu are installed on the same hardrive, I already tried to fix GRUB with utility | 01:38 |
| TLoFP | Bashion-om I used boot-repair | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: Yeah, you say grub is good, windows has the problem booting. a) boot code -> fixmbr b) bad file system -> chkdsk . see what results . | 01:39 |
| TLoFP | I can fixmbr from ubuntu side, right? | 01:40 |
| ObrienDave | TLoFP, probably not | 01:40 |
| TLoFP | well that doesn't help if Ubuntu is the onlything booting on this machine | 01:40 |
| TLoFP | like I said, I can not boot windows from an external drive, I can't boot recovery CDs either | 01:41 |
| quantibility | so no one with an answer to my problem? | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: Nope, Windows tools for Windows problems .. from a Windows utility (recovery) disk run 'fixmbr' . | 01:41 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, Windows Recovery Utility does not boot | 01:42 |
| RKyle | Does Ubuntu support raid 10? | 01:42 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: IF you can not boot a DVD, and you are sure you have the boot priority set properly as the DVD as 1st priority. Time to reset bios to the defaults and see what results. | 01:42 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, boot priority is correct as the bootloader works fine (windows version of grub) | 01:43 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: Also .. what is the method of booting .. UEFI or bios ? | 01:43 |
| TLoFP | but when it tries to boot the windows OS, weather it is the recover CD, recover USB stick, or win7 on the internal disk, it hangs | 01:43 |
| TLoFP | Bashing-om, I am not sure about that question | 01:44 |
| Bashing-om | TLoFP: UEFI is the new partitioning/booting method, late Window7 is the 1st appearance. How the CPU is set up for booting differs between the 2 . | 01:45 |
| ObrienDave | TLoFP, UEFI and BIOS are two different setups for motherboards. makes a difference at boot time | 01:46 |
| squinty | TLoFP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 01:47 |
| ObrienDave | !uefi | TLoFP | 01:48 |
| ubottu | TLoFP: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| cmanns__ | hehe | 02:49 |
| cmanns__ | yeah I ain't doing this for no reason | 02:49 |
| cmanns__ | but hey if compile optimization makes it bigger and run alil smoother yey, it lags cpu wise apparently on windows | 02:50 |
| cmanns__ | Oddly linux uses tons of cpu too its a p4 2.4ghz or so | 02:50 |
| expunge | as long as you aren't spending more time than what it'd take to earn money to replace it with a better computer =P | 02:50 |

| litropy | I can edit xorg configs if I need to. | 02:53 |

| cmanns__ | its not | 02:54 |
| expunge | ObrienDave: you tell us | 02:54 |
| expunge | cmanns__: not in macports/fink/homebrew? | 02:55 |

| litropy | VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line. | 02:55 |
| cmanns__ | it is but my mac needs new disk setup I'm not doing too much intensive stuff or it gets really bad IO wise | 02:55 |

| cmanns__ | How can I make sure hard drive is fully optimized | 02:56 |
| ObrienDave | use EXT4 | 02:56 |
| xangua | TyrfingMjolnir: you will have to upgrade first to 12.04 and then to 14.04 if you want to get to latest LTS, a fresh install would be faster | 02:57 |
| gndlp | TyrfingMjolnir: apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:57 |
| expunge | zero byte something | 02:57 |
| cmanns__ | Using EXT4, zRAM, I think I enabled DMA still need to check, noop scheduler. | 02:57 |
| superkuh | Upgrading from 10.04 to 14.04 is a nightmare. | 02:57 |
| expunge | litropy: let it make a new one | 02:57 |
| cmanns__ | I need to change some of the ext4 options I think | 02:57 |
| cmanns__ | I just upgraded old lubuntu to 14.04 | 02:57 |
| smart_developer | What do you mean that EXT4 allows your hard drive to be fully optimized? (sorry, I might have joined the conversation out of context, just now). | 02:57 |
| cmanns__ | went flawless imho | 02:57 |

| TyrfingMjolnir | OerHeks: Most of them are in /opt | 02:59 |

| RKyle | Is it possible to completely uninstall the desktop interface and replace it with gnome? | 03:47 |
| expunge | RKyle: yup | 03:48 |
| expunge | !notunity | 03:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 03:48 |
| darklessness | RKyle: yes | 03:48 |
| RKyle | Does everyone else have problems with Unity? | 03:48 |
| expunge | RKyle: hrmm? | 03:48 |
| RKyle | expunge, It just seems very buggy and is annoying. | 03:49 |
| expunge | it's pretty immature software | 03:50 |
| expunge | based largely on more immature software | 03:50 |
| expunge | and some other mature software that was poorly maintained =) | 03:50 |
| expunge | but it has its merits, and you don't have to use it =) | 03:50 |

| zzxc | Hey, what are the requirements for running raid 5. | 04:03 |
| expunge | silliness | 04:04 |
| wafflejock | !raid | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 04:04 |
| wafflejock | zzxc: this might be better since it's more up to date if you're down with video tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuhMQIpCP1A | 04:06 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest61153 | ||
| zzxc | wafflejock: Hmmm alright cool. I'm going to bookmark this. | 04:07 |
| zzxc | But just to check raid 5 no longer requires a raid card? | 04:07 |
| expunge | never did | 04:08 |
| wafflejock | zzxc: well think software RAID has been around for a while | 04:08 |
| wafflejock | zzxc: but the hardware RAID solutions can be faster | 04:08 |
| Bash_Rules | whats the difference between sudo and su - ? | 04:08 |
| wafflejock | dunno though I just have an "X-RAID" NAS some voodoo | 04:08 |
| expunge | Bash_Rules: and su -, or su? =) | 04:08 |
| expunge | Bash_Rules: sudo is meant to be a way to give 'su' access to specific commands alone | 04:09 |
| expunge | ...except on Ubuntu, which ignores sudo's purpose =) | 04:09 |
| Bash_Rules | any... it seems that both sudo and su works on my mint machine, but not in a SL machine | 04:09 |
| expunge | Bash_Rules: SL? | 04:09 |
| Bash_Rules | scientific linux | 04:09 |
| Bash_Rules | its off of rh | 04:09 |
| expunge | rh? | 04:09 |
| expunge | j/k | 04:09 |
| Bash_Rules | red hat | 04:09 |
| expunge | try using words | 04:09 |
| === Guest61153 is now known as Linux-Libre | ||
| Bash_Rules | lol | 04:09 |
| zzxc | expunge: Yeah this is my first trip into raid5. | 04:09 |
| expunge | like I said, Ubuntu uses sudo in an odd way | 04:09 |
| Bash_Rules | i see | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | so its a ubuntu thing | 04:10 |
| expunge | mostly | 04:10 |
| zzxc | wafflejock: That would make sense. Having a raid controller would speed up some of the data checks.. | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | sudo shouldnt be doing su stuff pretty much | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | ? | 04:10 |
| expunge | some distros are copying Ubuntu in this manner | 04:10 |
| expunge | Bash_Rules: sudo should not work for any command at all, historically =) | 04:10 |
| zzxc | Bash_Rules: No su and sudo both existed in debian. | 04:10 |
| expunge | only ones you explicitly, personally configure | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | hmm | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | weird | 04:10 |
| Bash_Rules | o well | 04:10 |
| zzxc | Bash_Rules: In debain sudo is more or less su root -c _____ | 04:10 |
| wafflejock | well you can change that in the sudoers file though right expunge | 04:11 |
| wafflejock | ? | 04:11 |
| Bash_Rules | i see | 04:11 |
| expunge | I don't follow Red Hat, but since they focus on servers they're probably a bit behind regardless | 04:11 |
| Bash_Rules | not in red hat apparently | 04:11 |
| expunge | wafflejock: yes, you can change anything | 04:11 |
| Bash_Rules | if i sudo in red hat it wont even take my passwd | 04:11 |
| zzxc | Bash_Rules: I'm pretty sure that red hat is also a debain fork. | 04:11 |
| RKyle | !synaptic | 04:11 |
| ubottu | A Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 04:11 |
| expunge | zzxc: heh | 04:11 |
| expunge | it isn't, of course | 04:11 |
| Bash_Rules | i dunno about that | 04:12 |
| Bash_Rules | could be wrong though | 04:12 |
| expunge | yeah like I said | 04:12 |
| RKyle | Isn't Red Hat where Linux started? | 04:12 |
| expunge | the proper way to use sudo requires personally configuring it | 04:12 |
| wafflejock | http://futurist.se/gldt/wp-content/uploads/12.10/gldt1210.svg | 04:12 |
| expunge | RKyle: no, but it's a fairly old, fairly popular distro | 04:12 |
| wafflejock | not sure how accurate this is but pretty cool | 04:12 |
| zzxc | Bash_Rules: Actually I think expunge is right. | 04:12 |
| Bash_Rules | ill take a look at sudo more closely sometime | 04:12 |
| Bash_Rules | because pretty much SL uses yum | 04:13 |
| zzxc | wafflejock: Nice graphic wafflejock | 04:13 |
| Bash_Rules | while ubuntusoes uses apt get | 04:13 |
| wafflejock | yeah it's a cool one | 04:13 |
| RKyle | Will I break anything if I purge the software center and replace it with Synaptic? | 04:14 |
| wafflejock | Bash_Rules: yeah aptitude is part of the package manager stuff along with dpkg (debian package manager), think Yum was from slackware? can't remember | 04:14 |
| RKyle | Yum is in Fedora isn't it? | 04:15 |
| xangua | RKyle: or you can just install synaptic and leave software centre alone | 04:15 |
| Bash_Rules | i believe so | 04:15 |
| zzxc | Well Yum is used in fedora if I remeber correctly which is a spin off a red hat. | 04:15 |
| wafflejock | RKyle: yeah I would backup before trying that but should be okay | 04:15 |
| RKyle | Fresh install, not worth backing up. =p | 04:15 |
| wafflejock | RKyle: then pull the trigger :D and godspeed | 04:15 |
| expunge | fedora is the testing version of red hat | 04:16 |
| CEO-Defcon | #help | 04:16 |
| expunge | scientific linux is red hat | 04:16 |
| Bash_Rules | btw CenTOS is a pretty great red hat clone | 04:16 |
| expunge | yes, centos is also red hat | 04:16 |
| wafflejock | Bash_Rules: think it's just open source red hat | 04:16 |
| RKyle | Fedora looks nice in screen shots, I've only breifly used it myself. | 04:16 |
| cmanns__ | How can I get older GCC? | 04:16 |
| expunge | sans cost (and support) | 04:16 |
| cmanns__ | I am trying to use debian snapshots | 04:17 |
| Bash_Rules | yep | 04:17 |
| Bash_Rules | its red hat without support | 04:17 |
| expunge | RKyle: it looks like GNOME in screenshots =P | 04:17 |
| wafflejock | RKyle: think Fedora uses KDE no? | 04:17 |
| expunge | without paid support =) | 04:17 |
| Bash_Rules | yeah :PP | 04:17 |
| zzxc | wafflejock: It has a few different models I thnk. | 04:17 |
| expunge | although given how unpopular it is among people who don't habitually spend money... | 04:17 |
| zzxc | desktop envos* | 04:17 |
| Bash_Rules | and optimized updates | 04:17 |
| RKyle | I think it's an altered version of Gnome. | 04:17 |
| * expunge sighs | 04:17 | |
| expunge | it's just GNOME, by default | 04:17 |
| expunge | not that it matters | 04:17 |
| expunge | shh =P | 04:17 |
| wafflejock | yeah just saw some screenshots, I'm using Ubuntu Gnome atm | 04:18 |
| wafflejock | I dig it | 04:18 |
| RKyle | I miss the old gnome with compiz fusion for poor performance. | 04:18 |
| RKyle | What distro the Gentoo come from? | 04:19 |
| wafflejock | RKyle: I think MATE is filling that gap | 04:19 |
| zzxc | wafflejock: How's the multimonitor support. That was part of the reason I switched over to xfce. | 04:19 |

| zzxc | RKyle: You can still use compiz, even with gnome. | 04:19 |
| wafflejock | zzxc: good I have some problem on all DEs with my chipset though where it gets messed up if the laptop monitor and two externals are all on, once I disable the laptop monitor though or have it shut the other two work fine | 04:20 |
| expunge | RKyle: gentoo is non-derivative | 04:20 |
| expunge | RKyle: though roughly inspired by debian and freebsd | 04:20 |
| RKyle | zzxc, It's not a functional as it used to be though is it? | 04:20 |
| expunge | mate? Is a literal copy of GNOME 2 =P | 04:20 |
| RKyle | expunge, I'm still trying to get into Gentoo, installation is still a pain for me. | 04:21 |
| zzxc | I mean if you use gnome no, but you can use xfce, or mate, or lsomething or another, or several other window managers. | 04:21 |
| xangua | !ot | expunge RKyle | 04:21 |
| ubottu | expunge RKyle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:21 |
| expunge | the only danger is that they won't have enough devs to maintain it all | 04:21 |
| expunge | RKyle: it's involved, by comparison =) | 04:21 |
| xcasex | you guys havent seen chipset issues until you've used a laptop with via chips. | 04:21 |
| expunge | way chips | 04:21 |
| zzxc | And its pretty much the same emerald is more unstable. but I used it for a while on an old machine running the privous LTS. | 04:22 |
| RKyle | I remember Gutsy Gibbon, my first Linux OS. | 04:22 |
| zzxc | RKyle: Actually unless its changed unity is using a window manager based off of compiz I think. | 04:22 |
| expunge | emerald is still compiz =) | 04:23 |
| zzxc | expunge: well sort off, you need compiz to run emerald but you no longer need emerald for compiz I'm pretty sure. | 04:23 |
| expunge | zzxc: indeed | 04:24 |

| fancyfetus | Hey guys | 05:23 |
| fancyfetus | Is there any easy way to jump from ubuntu to ubuntuGNOME? | 05:23 |
| fancyfetus | or do i have to uninstall ubuntu and then install ubuntuGNOME? | 05:24 |
| === BrandonS is now known as BrandonB | ||
| cmanns__ | fancyfetus I think you just install gnome | 05:26 |
| fancyfetus | cmanns__ it's a whole nother operating system, man | 05:26 |
| damian_ | pretty cool to run ssh through android on to my desktop using connetbot app | 05:26 |
| Ben64 | cmanns__: it isn't actually | 05:26 |
| cmanns__ | Ah theres a ubuntuGNOME, fork? | 05:27 |
| cmanns__ | Sorry | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | !info ubuntu-gnome-desktop | fancyfetus | 05:27 |
| ubottu | fancyfetus: ubuntu-gnome-desktop (source: ubuntu-gnome-meta): The Ubuntu GNOME metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.32 (trusty), package size 3 kB, installed size 27 kB | 05:27 |
| cmanns__ | I went from ubuntu to Xubuntu before years ago so I thought it was easy | 05:27 |
| Seveas | fancyfetus: no, it's not. Just install gnome, log out and choose gnome when loggging back in. | 05:27 |
| fancyfetus | Ben64, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/OneStopPage | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | what are you trying to show me there | 05:28 |
| fancyfetus | I was talking to guy in here earlier who were telling me that ubuntu gnome will be "more vanilla" and more stable over ubuntu with gnome installed. | 05:28 |
| fancyfetus | guys* | 05:29 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu-gnome are all the same thing | 05:29 |
| Ben64 | just different frontends, you can choose one or have a bunch going with no ill effects | 05:29 |
| cmanns__ | <3 xubuntu | 05:29 |
| cmanns__ | Also lubuntu is nice | 05:29 |
| fancyfetus | Ben64, what is the onestop way of getting a gnome 3 frontend, then? | 05:29 |
| narbeh | Can anyone help me with this problem? https://www.anonimg.com/img/163ec1e930d29df2667bb1857bd812f9.jpg | 05:30 |
| fancyfetus | ubuntu-gnome-desktop? | 05:30 |
| Ben64 | fancyfetus: installing that will give you the full ubuntu-gnome desktop, if thats what you want | 05:30 |
| Ben64 | may include other applications | 05:30 |
| fancyfetus | Ben64, yes sir | 05:30 |
| fancyfetus | I dun busted my previous ubuntu installation so I'll have to reinstall that first. | 05:31 |
| squinty | narbeh: can you actually connect to that site? even the main site doesn't load here | 05:32 |
| narbeh | squinty: Thank you for the feed back. let me upload to another hosting site | 05:33 |
| fancyfetus | Ben64, obviously this place is a little biased... but what do you think of fedora? | 05:33 |
| fancyfetus | It comes packaged with gnome 3 | 05:33 |
| fancyfetus | think it's a better option for me? | 05:34 |

| damccull | if i type a command into bash to figure out all the syntax i want, but then i want to save that into a .sh file...is there a way other than copy/paste? cat 'string with / and spaces' > file.sh doesn't work | 05:54 |
| wafflejock | thurstylark: http://askubuntu.com/questions/46613/is-there-a-command-for-the-workspace-switcher | 05:54 |
| wafflejock | damccull: you can check your .bash_history for commands you've run not sure about an easy way to pull those out into a file from the command line though | 05:56 |
| thurstylark | wafflejock: That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! | 05:56 |
| wafflejock | thurstylark: np | 05:56 |
| damccull | oh, i wonder if echo will do it | 05:56 |
| damccull | heh. yes. yes it will. | 05:57 |
| damccull | echo "string" > file | 05:57 |
| wafflejock | ah right | 05:57 |
| damccull | forgot about echo | 05:57 |
| wafflejock | used that for some config stuff before | 05:57 |
| wafflejock | can use >> to append to a file too if you want to build up some sequence of commands in a script | 05:57 |
| thurstylark | or a log file... | 05:57 |

| subhojit777 | somsip, any other solution apart from this | 06:21 |
| somsip | subhojit777: yes, you can do it wrong | 06:21 |
| subhojit777 | somsip, sorry, what wrong? | 06:21 |
| somsip | subhojit777: if you want to add an entry to /etc/hosts you would use the public IP and some name as an identifier. If you do it a different way, it wont work | 06:22 |

| karab_44 | Hi | 06:46 |
| rwp | khaos, Do you have a hyperthreaded cpu? If so then you actually have 2-cores with 2-threads per core. | 06:47 |
| karab_44 | I started to play with my graphic cards and then I lost my screen | 06:48 |
| karab_44 | I simply changed primary card from nvidia to Intel and switched to novuea in the system | 06:49 |
| karab_44 | And now I can't reverse it | 06:50 |
| karab_44 | Screen is black | 06:50 |
| TJ- | karab_44: "simply" is not a description of what you did :) | 06:51 |
| karab_44 | Tj I thought I wrote that I did it in bios | 06:52 |
| karab_44 | Sorry | 06:52 |
| cfhowlett | karab_44, if you changed it in bios, change it back. | 06:52 |

| === Omicron is now known as Guest54422 | ||
| TJ- | karab_44: my point was, changing a fundamental part of the hardware is never 'simple' :) | 06:53 |
| karab_44 | No cfhowlett it doesn't work | 06:53 |
| nevermoreraven | what ever happened to gobuntu? | 06:53 |
| nevermoreraven | why can't we have a completely 100% free ubuntu like gobuntu again? | 06:53 |
| karab_44 | Tj I just want to restore my previous settings | 06:53 |

| karab_44 | I want nvidia back | 06:54 |
| TJ- | karab_44: Are the GPUs independent or linked (Optimus aka Bumblebee) ? | 06:54 |
| cfhowlett | nevermoreraven, FSF has a couple of "free" OS recommendations. | 06:54 |
| karab_44 | No just separate card | 06:54 |
| karab_44 | Second is on CPU, Intel HD 3000 | 06:55 |
| hak | Hello I would like to ask, when you open Software & Updates > Additional Drivers and change one will it download or install from local storage. | 06:56 |
| TJ- | karab_44: OK, so you're set the Nvidia as primary, which may hav resulted in a custom "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" being generated, which may now be causing issues. Check that first, and rename/remove it, if necessary | 06:56 |
| karab_44 | Tj OK! | 06:57 |
| minimec | hak: Not the first time. Afterwards the needed packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives. So the second time, no download is needed IMHO. | 06:58 |
| apickle | So I have a question. | 07:00 |
| apickle | At 1:00 AM. | 07:00 |
| karab_44 | Tj I need to change back to nvidia first | 07:00 |
| hak | minimec: I was using X.Org X driver but changed to Nvidia one. Now I am on very slow connection and would like to change back to X.Org but it takes somewhat long time. | 07:00 |

| apickle | How do I switch between running server applications in the command line with Ubuntu Server? | 07:03 |
| apickle | (14.04 LTS?) | 07:03 |
| nevermoreraven | yo fosho | 07:04 |
| nevermoreraven | keep it real | 07:04 |
| minimec | hak: The nvidia opensource driver should be installed per default. It's the 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-lts-trusty' package, or whatever ubuntu version you use. maybe try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-lts-trusty' or so... | 07:04 |
| apickle | Like, say I want to host a Minecraft server, but I also want to host OpenVPN and Mumble. How do I switch between being able to input commands for each application? | 07:04 |
| cynicallemon | apickle: you could open a tmux or screen session | 07:04 |
| apickle | Hmm. | 07:05 |
| apickle | I've heard about Screen, I was wondering if there was a way to do it without relying on third party applications. | 07:05 |
| TJ- | karab_44: Booting the system in Recovery mode should cause the screen to remain in text mode so you can work at the console | 07:06 |
| minimec | hak: Also... You might have to 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg-disabled.conf'. That alone should give you the nouveau driver back after reboot. | 07:06 |

| karab_44 | There are two files | 07:08 |

| karab_44 | I just want to have my previous configuration, before I set to the neuvoa driver | 07:11 |
| TJ- | karab_44: Try adding "text" to the Recovery mode's kernel command-line ("linux ...") entry which will avoid graphics mode. | 07:13 |
| karab_44 | Tj its OK I can enter text mode | 07:14 |
| karab_44 | I see two files config.failsafe and config.yesterdaydate | 07:14 |
| TJ- | karab_44: OK, so you can do a full purge of the nvidia driver packages, and ensure any blacklists it left behind in "/etc/modprobe.d/*" are also removed - those would prevent the nouveau module being loaded | 07:15 |
| karab_44 | OK! | 07:16 |
| nydel | anyone know how to fix a broken libc/glibc? i'm afraid my system's going to go down, i can't call anything, not apt-get, not synaptic, not even ls -- everything is dependent on me getting glibc2.17 | 07:18 |

| rdbell | nydel I don't want to change it back if i don't have to. | 07:19 |

| tarelerulz | I have never heard of it ,but do any movie files support meta tags which would let you sort your movies like you do mp3? | 07:45 |
| cfhowlett | tarelerulz, video files can have meta ... depends what you want to edit. avconv/ffmpeg are the tools I use. | 07:46 |
| xor-freenet | the german ubuntu archive server provides bad package signatures for 14.04 again :( | 07:46 |
| tarelerulz | Is there a standard meta tags any movie format would use so you could sort them? That is my real questions. I know itunes has such ,but I know of nothing else | 07:48 |
| karab_44 | Jozef I like Ubuntu. It causes problems from time to time but it's most because of me ;) | 07:48 |

| xor-freenet | geirha: thanks | 07:49 |
| tarelerulz | MKV has meta tags ,but it not well support feature. | 07:49 |
| cfhowlett | tarelerulz, easy enough to add meta for title/subject/author/creation date ... can't think of what else you might want. | 07:49 |
| tarelerulz | Well, adding them is fine ,but unless other medai player / app use the format it would not matter for sorting them like you do songs. | 07:50 |
| karab_44 | Jozefk but the truth is yeah if you mess up, it's hard to fix it | 07:50 |
| jozefk | linux is good for some things. not for everything | 07:51 |

| shinigami69 | hey guys, I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed. Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade to 14.04.1 from within ubuntu? | 09:01 |
| ObrienDave | shinigami69, yes, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:01 |
| ObrienDave | shinigami69, out put of 'cat /etc/issue' please | 09:02 |
| shinigami69 | Thanks ObrienDave | 09:02 |
| shinigami69 | issue? | 09:03 |
| ObrienDave | shinigami69, will tell you if you already have it | 09:03 |
| ObrienDave | cat /etc/issue | 09:03 |

| theme2 | hi | 09:06 |
| ObrienDave | Greetings & Welcome | 09:06 |
| theme2 | Can anybody troubleshoot an internet problem for me? | 09:07 |
| ObrienDave | theme2, depends on the problem | 09:07 |
| minimec | theme2: Noet 'for' you, but 'with' you ;) | 09:07 |
| theme2 | My computer has a very unreliable internet connection | 09:07 |
| ObrienDave | couldn't possibly be your ISP, could it? | 09:08 |
| theme2 | It has dual boot, and the internet in windows is very fast | 09:08 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | wrong driver | 09:08 |
| minimec | theme2: Are you connected through wireless 'n' network? | 09:08 |
| theme2 | It's wifi | 09:08 |
| shinigami69 | ObrienDave, it worked, I already have 14.04.1. Thanks | 09:09 |
| ObrienDave | shinigami69, cool :) | 09:09 |
| theme2 | It took me quite some time to connect to the internet via wifi in the first place | 09:09 |
| ObrienDave | theme2, ok, wifi a,b,g,ab,n? | 09:09 |
| theme2 | ObrienDave: Where do I get that info? | 09:10 |
| ObrienDave | you would have to look on your routers built in webpage | 09:11 |
| theme2 | It says it is "802.11 WiFi (wlan1)" | 09:11 |
| theme2 | ObrienDave: where? | 09:11 |
| ObrienDave | how would i know that? it's your router | 09:12 |
| ObrienDave | look | 09:12 |
| theme2 | oh right | 09:12 |
| * theme2 tries to figure out his router webpage | 09:13 | |
| theme2 | I messed around and found a page with the big title: "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page" | 09:13 |
| theme2 | probably not that | 09:13 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | @theme2: Its the same address as the used gateway | 09:14 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | normally | 09:14 |
| minimec | theme2: I guess you are connected via wireless 'n', if you are using some recent router/wifi device. So the 'n' network is fast, but less stable than wireless 'g'. My idea would bee to either change the router to 'force' wireless g connections, or set your wifi modem driver to force wireless 'g'. | 09:14 |
| ObrienDave | theme2, what is your current address to the router? 192.168.x.x? | 09:16 |
| theme2 | I just found my router page | 09:16 |
| ObrienDave | cool | 09:16 |
| theme2 | I recall changing its password quite some time ago | 09:17 |
| theme2 | now what exactly is that password -_- | 09:17 |
| ObrienDave | theme2, you can press the reset button and it will probably change to admin admin | 09:18 |
| ObrienDave | user 'admin' password 'admin' | 09:18 |
| akaWolf | hello! does everybody use a x11vnc? | 09:19 |
| TJ- | theme2: Based on my experience, especially as you say Windows WiFi is fast, I'd guess there's a driver issue on Linux. So, first find out what the actual device is. This should isolate that info: "lspci -nnk -s $(lspci -nn | grep 0280 | awk '{print $1}') " | 09:21 |

| theme2 | btw my system is triple boot | 09:22 |

| theme2 | ubottu: heh... how did I manage not to find that page | 09:25 |
| ubottu | theme2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:25 |

| theme2 | ObrienDave: heh... how did I manage not to find that page | 09:25 |
| Rory | intelligence is relative | 09:25 |
| theme2 | Now that's better | 09:25 |
| TJ- | theme2: OK ... if it has networking, can you do "pastebinit < <(tail -n 2000 /var/log/kern.log)" ? | 09:25 |
| theme2 | I spent so much time trying to make wifi even work in the first place | 09:26 |
| shinigami69 | I get this warning everytime ubuntu boots"Support for cores revisions 0x17 and 0x18 disabled by module param allhwsupport=0.Try b43.allhwsupport=1". How can i fix it? | 09:26 |
| TJ- | theme2: According to this "grep -rni '14e4.*4331' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules*" the open-source module would be "bcma"; did you try that one before opting for the Broadcom proprietary "wl" driver? | 09:28 |
| xor-freenet | i have two machines, both on kubuntu 14.04 amd64, one on the german package server, one on the central one. both have the same version of openjdk-7-jre installed according to aptitude (7u65-2.5.1-4ubuntu1~0.14.04.2). both show an update to 7u65-2.5.2-3~14.04. however, the one with the german server shows it as security update, while the central server shows it as regular update. why? | 09:28 |
| TJ- | shinigami69: Is that option set on the kernel command-line ("cat /proc/cmdline") ? | 09:28 |
| theme2 | TJ-: last line of that kern.log file: **snip** kernel: [ 8824.396225] ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_tx_power : error (-1) | 09:28 |
| theme2 | looks suspicious | 09:28 |
| xor-freenet | this was preceded by many "BADSIG" failures during package list update on the german server, which made me switch one machine to the central server. so it is scary that they now even show different updates. | 09:29 |
| TJ- | theme2: Yes, but there may be others - if you can pastebinit that'd help me | 09:29 |
| theme2 | Result: Failed to contact the server: [Errno socket error] [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer | 09:30 |
| theme2 | lol | 09:30 |
| shinigami69 | TJ-, I'm not sure by what you mean I'm pretty new to Linux, sorry, but this is what I get when I run that command on the terminal "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic root=UUID=1e25ea13-3aba-4423-ae5a-b7db3e70195f ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 09:31 |
| shinigami69 | " | 09:31 |
| TJ- | theme2: typical... I deduce that PC has networking problems :) | 09:31 |
| xor-freenet | (/etc/apt/sources.list: "central server" = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ; "german server" = http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) | 09:31 |
| ObrienDave | xor-freenet, try a different mirror, or use the same mirror on both | 09:31 |
| theme2 | I'm redirecting that tail to a file and manually pastebinning it | 09:32 |
| bstarek | hello all | 09:32 |
| TJ- | shinigami69: OK, the message suggested "b43.allhwsupport=0" was set manually, but it seems it is either set via options, or is the default. Let's check options now: "grep allhwsupport /etc/modprobe.d/*" | 09:32 |
| ObrienDave | theme2, install pastebinit. it will give you a URL for us | 09:32 |
| xor-freenet | ObrienDave: i don't want just the symptoms to go away, i want to find out why your servers ship different versions of the same package while claiming that it is the same version. this sounds like you're hacked, especially given that the german server spews loads of bad gnupg signatures | 09:32 |
| theme2 | manually pasting... | 09:33 |
| theme2 | ObrienDave: already installed | 09:33 |
| theme2 | Result: the web page is not available D: | 09:33 |
| xor-freenet | ObrienDave: i also work in a project which is suspected to be an interesting target for NSA, so i cannot ignore such stuff :| | 09:33 |
| theme2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8363902/ | 09:34 |
| TJ- | xor-freenet: which .de mirror are you hitting, some don't stay up to date | 09:34 |
| * ObrienDave folds a foil hat for xor-freenet | 09:34 | |
| theme2 | there you are | 09:34 |
| theme2 | I mean, here it is | 09:34 |
| xor-freenet | ObrienDave: assuming that NSA targets developers of internet anonymization software is not tinfoil hat level paranoia. | 09:35 |
| theme2 | I think I see some hexdumps there | 09:35 |
| xor-freenet | TJ-: how can i find out? | 09:35 |
| khaos | i would like to ask why in the additional drivers section it shows that I am using the amd xorg open source driver and in the lspci -v | grep -i vga it shows that I am using the i7 intergrated... is that normal ? :P | 09:35 |
| theme2 | At the bottom of the paste has some strange erors | 09:36 |
| theme2 | s/erors/errors | 09:36 |
| shinigami69 | TJ- nothing happens when with "grep allhwsupport /etc/modprobe.d/*" | 09:36 |
| theme2 | TJ-: what is happening with my router/modem/whatever? | 09:37 |
| TJ- | theme2: OK, power-management is the likely culprit - try "sudo iwconfig wlan1 power off" | 09:38 |
| theme2 | TJ-: does that mean turning of the adapter or something | 09:38 |
| theme2 | off | 09:39 |
| TJ- | theme2: Give it a hard test, see if that improves things. | 09:39 |
| theme2 | typing iwconfig already says that power management is off | 09:39 |
| theme2 | doing it any way | 09:39 |
| theme2 | 2 log entries appear in the log | 09:40 |
| theme2 | Sep 17 16:39:37 theemathas-ubuntu kernel: [ 9728.973943] ERROR @wl_dev_intvar_get : error (-1) | 09:40 |

| theme2 | wait a sec, it appears when I type iwconfig | 09:40 |
| === clearcut is now known as reuf | ||
| theme2 | what exactly is wrong with my internet | 09:42 |
| TJ- | theme2: OK, so the driver doesn't respond to power interrogation requests | 09:43 |
| shinigami69 | TJ- nothing happens when with "grep allhwsupport /etc/modprobe.d/*" | 09:43 |
| theme2 | TJ-: interrogation? | 09:43 |
| theme2 | My driver isn't a criminal | 09:44 |
| TJ- | shinigami69: OK, so it must be the default setting in the module. So, the recommended setting needs to be added | 09:44 |
| theme2 | TJ-: erm... good luck multitasking -_-" | 09:45 |
| TJ- | theme2: 'iwconfig' interrogates the driver to discover what settings it has... the proprietary driver apparently doesn't want to play nicely when it comes to the power management settings | 09:45 |
| shinigami69 | TJ- , ok so how do we change the settings? | 09:45 |
| k1l | theme2: Try removing the dkms-broadcom-wl-6 package and installing the dkms-broadcom-wl-legacy-5 package then reboot | 09:47 |
| TJ- | shinigami69: " echo "options b43 allhwsupport=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf " | 09:47 |
| k1l | theme2: wait. no such packages on ubuntu | 09:48 |
| TJ- | k1l: those are RPM packages :D | 09:48 |
| shinigami69 | TJ- done, I'll reboot my system now, thanks TJ-. | 09:48 |
| theme2 | Erm... RPM? | 09:48 |
| theme2 | nvm | 09:49 |
| theme2 | One more line appeared in my log: Sep 17 16:47:21 theemathas-ubuntu signond[10903]: ../../../../src/signond/signondaemon.cpp 388 init Failed to SUID root. Secure storage will not be available. | 09:49 |
| karab44 | Tj I just recovered backup image with ghost4linux | 09:50 |
| TJ- | theme2: Can you tell us which broadcom packages are installed ("dpkg -l 'broadcom*' ") ? | 09:50 |
| k1l | theme2: did you already install the right driver for bcm43xx cards? | 09:50 |
| TJ- | theme2: Yes, that's an old old one! | 09:50 |
| karab44 | made it 5th sept so it's not that old, needs just little tweaking. | 09:51 |
| theme2 | TJ-: "dpkg -l 'broadcom*'" found nothing | 09:51 |
| TJ- | theme2: Did you manually install the 'wl' driver, or via "apt" / package management? | 09:51 |
| k1l | theme2: lsmod | grep -e b43 -e wl | 09:52 |
| theme2 | TJ-: not sure | 09:52 |
| theme2 | TJ-: I recall something similar | 09:52 |
| TJ- | k1l: We already know it is using 'wl' | 09:52 |
| k1l | hmmm | 09:52 |
| TJ- | theme2: How about "dpkg -l 'bcmwl*' " ? | 09:52 |
| theme2 | TJ-: two hits here | 09:52 |
| minimec | theme2: Can you verify that this command 'apt-cache madison bcmwl-kernel-source' returns something like '6.20.155.1+bdcom...' | 09:53 |
| theme2 | ii bcmwl-kernel-s 6.30.223.141 amd64 Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireles | 09:53 |
| theme2 | and | 09:53 |
| theme2 | un bcmwl-modalias <none> <none> (no description available) | 09:53 |
| TJ- | theme2: OK, we have it. | 09:53 |
| TJ- | k1l: for you: | 09:53 |

| TJ- | <theme2> Kernel driver in use: wl | 09:53 |
| theme2 | apparently, wireless is misspelled | 09:53 |
| minimec | theme2: OK. 6.30.223.. is even better ;) | 09:53 |
| shinigami69 | TJ- I rebooted my system but this time it came up with 3 lines that was too fast for me to read.. Is there a log file that i can check what those were ? | 09:54 |
| TJ- | theme2: k1l's earlier suggestion (based on RPM Redhat packages) was to effectively downgrade the driver version from 6.x to 5.x, and there are confirmations that solves this issue | 09:54 |
| theme2 | shinigami69: hey! I also saw that thing | 09:54 |
| TJ- | shinigami69: "/var/log/dmesg" | 09:54 |
| theme2 | Maybe my problem is similar to shinigami69's | 09:54 |
| TJ- | theme2: Are you using an Apple Mac device? | 09:55 |
| theme2 | TJ-: Yes. I thought I already told that | 09:55 |
| theme2 | I didn't? | 09:55 |
| TJ- | theme2: if you did it passed me by :) | 09:56 |
| theme2 | TJ-: ??? | 09:56 |
| TJ- | theme2: haha, bug! see bug 1360887 | 09:56 |
| ubottu | bug 1360887 in linux (Ubuntu) "ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_tx_power : error (-1)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1360887 | 09:56 |
| karab44 | I have a question - when I start to type in nautilus it moves selection to current match. I.e. when type "doom" it selects "doom" folder and arrows jumps around all "doomed" named folder with that exception that it doesn't point any files where "doom" is postfix. Is there a way to enable that? | 09:57 |
| theme2 | that bug looks exactly like my case | 09:59 |
| TJ- | theme2: We don't know if the poor performance issue is related to this, though | 10:00 |
| theme2 | My computer is also a macbook | 10:01 |
| TJ- | theme2: As the bcma module (part of brcmsmac) declares it supports the chipset ID you have there, it'd be worth trying that instead of the 'wl' driver | 10:02 |
| theme2 | TJ-: sudo apt-get install brcmsmac or what? | 10:02 |
| TJ- | theme2: You're using IRC from a different PC, correct? | 10:02 |
| SuperStink | hey guys | 10:02 |
| theme2 | TJ-: nope | 10:02 |
| theme2 | It's just very unstable | 10:03 |
| theme2 | I mean the internet | 10:03 |
| nevermoreraven | how do I install password safe? | 10:03 |
| TJ- | theme2: hmmm.. OK, this could be more complicated then. To load the alternative kernel module you'll have to disable wifi networking, then unload the 'wl' driver, then load "brcmsmac" | 10:03 |
| nevermoreraven | Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libykpers-1-1 (>= 1.7.0-1) | 10:04 |
| theme2 | TJ-: there's the "Additional Drivers" GUI that presumely does that | 10:04 |
| SuperStink | so i was thinking of buying a new laptop just for ubuntu what sort of spec machine do i need i imagine its not alot | 10:04 |
| theme2 | except that it only lists 1 driver there | 10:04 |
| minimec | nevermoreraven: What Ubuntu version are you on? 13.04 raring? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=libykpers&searchon=names | 10:07 |
| TJ- | theme2: It'll be something like "nmcli nm wifi off" then "sudo modprobe -r wl", then ensure "wl" is no longer in memory with "lsmod | grep wl" - if there is no listing for "wl" there, then do "sudo modprobe brcmsmac" then "nmcli nm wifi on" and see if you can get a connection | 10:07 |
| kgalahassa_ | Hi I have a problem at boot /dev/mapper/criptswap1 is not yet ready to mount | 10:07 |
| TJ- | theme2: If that fails... | 10:07 |
| SuperStink | i was looking to put the new version on | 10:07 |
| TJ- | theme2: Then "nmcli nm wifi off" , "sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac" then "sudo modprobe wl", "nmcli nm wifi on" | 10:08 |
| kk_drop | I had 2 disks: SSD and HDD attached, but accidentialy formatted first partition in hdd to swap and now I don't see any disk or even device in gparted on this disk | 10:12 |
| kk_drop | is there any way to recover it? | 10:12 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: possibly - depends on what was there before | 10:14 |
| robin77 | Anyone knows about a good 64-bit memory test tool? | 10:15 |
| kk_drop | it was empty partition 10gb (ntfs32) + extended partition with 2 another partitions (90gb ntfs + 400 gb fat32). I've formatted 400gb to ntfs and 10gb to swap accidentally (or more like I had no idea what i'm doing) | 10:16 |
| kk_drop | in disk order it was 10gb, ext ( 90gb + 400gb) | 10:16 |
| kk_drop | and after reboot I see only main disk where system is installed and no 500gb device at al | 10:17 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: if you only did "mkswap /dev/sdX1" then there'll be a swap header, but the remainder should be recoverable using "testdisk" | 10:17 |
| Naphatul | where does ubuntu recommend non repo software be installed? i was lazy and just made a bin folder in my home directory but i want to do it "properly" this time | 10:17 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, I did it with gparted tool, don't know exact command | 10:18 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, and this swap is not working - cat /proc/swaps returns nothing (i dind't have swap earlier at all) | 10:19 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: Hmmm. we're best working from the command line | 10:19 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, is there anything I could do to recover this partition or format? I don't even see it when trying to fdisk -l | 10:20 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: what does "ls /dev/sd?" report ? | 10:20 |
| kk_drop | no such directory | 10:20 |
| kostkon | Naphatul, which one | 10:20 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, it's ubuntu 12.04 | 10:20 |
| Naphatul | kostkon, what do you mean which one? | 10:20 |
| kostkon | Naphatul, software | 10:20 |
| Naphatul | kostkon, i'm getting pycharm at the moment but a lot of other stuff aswell | 10:21 |
| kostkon | Naphatul, in /opt if you want it to be system wide, otherwise in your home folder somewhere.. anywhere | 10:22 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, sorry, forgot question mark - result is /dev/sda /dev/sdb | 10:23 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: phew! | 10:23 |

| panos_ | i need to use ssh where both machines are behind NAT. any idea? | 10:29 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | ssh -t @ panos_ | 10:30 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: So sda is the SSD ... and the HDD is entirely gone as far as the kernel is concerned | 10:30 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: is the HDD internal or external? | 10:30 |
| panos_ | what's ssh -t ? | 10:31 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | ssh tunneling | 10:31 |
| panos_ | can i use it without any publc ip? | 10:32 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | why not | 10:32 |
| panos_ | how? | 10:32 |
| kk_drop | it is disk in adapter (plugged in instead of cd rom). but when it all was windows partitions it was recognized as usb | 10:33 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | mom | 10:33 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | @panos ssh -t first_hop_ip ssh second_hop_ip | 10:35 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, sudo lshw is not showing this disk too | 10:37 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | @panos best way to use it is without password but key-files | 10:37 |
| TJ- | kk_drop: try removal/reinsertion | 10:39 |
| kk_drop | it can't be - it's in adapter mounted instead of cdrom | 10:40 |
| kk_drop | I can reboot | 10:40 |
| kk_drop | TJ-, I'll do that, will be back in 5 mins | 10:41 |
| zetheroo | Is it possible to have a running Debian system (say Wheezy) and "change" it to Ubuntu without formatting and installing Ubuntu fresh!? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | no | 10:43 |
| ikonia | not at all | 10:43 |
| kuch3n | hi, iam trying to add some iptables rules but with following commands nothing was added: http://nopaste.euirc.net/index.php?id=09ebe87783 | 10:43 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: co-worker seems to think it would work - I am VERY skeptical | 10:44 |

| kuch3n | http://nopaste.euirc.net/index.php?id=dedadaa0e1 | 10:45 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: the notion is that the packages which Ubuntu and Debian use are identically named - so just changing the sources and reinstalling all packages would "work" | 10:46 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | so no nat table is present | 10:46 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: no it would not | 10:46 |
| zetheroo | could I ask why? :) | 10:47 |
| kuch3n | _-Tom-Tom-_: witg -L -v -t nat i got: http://nopaste.euirc.net/index.php?id=712de657cd | 10:47 |
| kuch3n | so theres something :> | 10:47 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: because a distro is not just package names | 10:47 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | @kuch3n ok my system takes -tnat your's not | 10:48 |
| k1l | zetheroo: it used to work in the early days. but i doubt that this will result in a working system without having to manage a lot of depencies these days | 10:48 |
| kuch3n | _-Tom-Tom-_: it doesnt take -Lv | 10:48 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, like k1l, I suspect failed dependencies | 10:48 |
| === toby is now known as Guest6317 | ||
| TJ- | zetheroo: Try it in a VM but there'll be quite a few fix-ups required due to dependencies and diverges from Debian to Ubuntu | 10:49 |

| theos | hi. is it possible for a key to have 2 keycodes at a time? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | keycodes ? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | what do you mean | 10:57 |
| theos | when i press the volume increase/decrease key, two keycodes are detected by xev. one is 19 which is for 0 and other is 122 which is for volume down | 10:58 |
| ikonia | I see | 10:59 |
| ikonia | so key press codes | 10:59 |
| theos | is there a way to remove the code for 0 from the key? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | no idea. | 11:00 |
| TJ- | theos: Are you using numeric keypad with overlaid media functions? | 11:00 |
| _-Tom-Tom-_ | @ikonia ??? | 11:00 |
| theos | TJ- i am using the touch keys on my hp laptop. they work for volume control but also input 0 | 11:01 |
| theos | they used to work fine in 13.04 and before that | 11:01 |
| TJ- | theos: which model ("grep DMI /var/log/dmesg") ? | 11:02 |
| newbsduser | how can watch a script call with elapsed time... for instance: watch ./showstats.sh works fine but i can't see elapsed time like that.. is there an easy way to do that? | 11:03 |

| DarkStar1 | as it has data on it | 11:15 |
| k1l | DarkStar1: then its even more careless to run a server with 12.10 | 11:16 |
| DarkStar1 | It's an old one | 11:16 |

| ikonia | so the binary will probably and up in either /usr/local/bin or the current working directory of the build | 13:30 |
| ikonia | depending on the build process | 13:30 |
| jonars | but the build method should not decide whether there's the bluetooth switch or not | 13:30 |
| jonars | yeah | 13:30 |
| jonars | i already found it | 13:30 |
| ikonia | so just run the command | 13:31 |
| jonars | i did | 13:31 |
| jonars | bluetooth switch is not recognized | 13:31 |
| jonars | but thats not related to build | 13:31 |
| ikonia | ok, so there you go then | 13:31 |
| ikonia | you've not built it to support that/it isn't in that version | 13:31 |
| jonars | ah - i see | 13:32 |
| jonars | what a pity it's already in the manpage | 13:32 |
| subsonik | hi guys | 13:42 |
| subsonik | my ubuntu 14.04 system stopped booting :( | 13:42 |
| subsonik | ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell! | 13:42 |
| subsonik | this happened after I reformatted a logical volume into EXT4 (not the boot volume) | 13:42 |
| subsonik | I mean, not the root volume | 13:42 |
| rberg_ | hey folks I am trying to stop "init: ttyS1 main process ended" log spam where I do not have a serial port. I have removed /etc/init/ttyS1.conf and ran "initctl reload-configuration" and "telinit q" this hasent stoped it yet.. any ideas on what I am missing? | 13:43 |
| subsonik | tried booting from a live CD, removing this reformatted volume, doesnt help | 13:43 |
| subsonik | :( | 13:43 |
| DJ_Unibob | Still early in the day, but someone should be able to help or point you guys in the right direction before too long. | 13:44 |
| subsonik | btw, if I type "lvm" in the initramfs console, all my logical volumes show up fine, yet I still got ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell! | 13:45 |
| subsonik | anyone have a clue? :( | 13:45 |
| ikonia | subsonik: what pv's make up the ubuntu volume group | 13:46 |
| subsonik | ikonia: only /dev/sda3 | 13:47 |
| ikonia | subsonik: try to bring the volume group on line and mount it | 13:49 |
| subsonik | I think the VG is online because I can mount my root LV just fine | 13:50 |
| stevendumani | hello, I'm using 14.04 64 bit, can i install defoma of older versions of ubuntu? and which one? https://launchpad.net/defoma | 13:50 |
| JuJuBee | Is there any way to recover a SATA HD given these messages? http://pastebin.com/FgJbmeYA | 13:50 |
| subsonik | in the initramfs console I type mount /dev/ubuntu-vg/root /something et voila | 13:50 |
| JuJuBee | Or am I SOL? | 13:50 |
| hillary | can anybody assist me with my broadband not working in 14.04 LTS? | 13:50 |
| ikonia | subsonik: iti can't be online if you're getting that error message | 13:50 |
| hillary | it used to work but it has stopped | 13:50 |
| ikonia | how are you mounting it/what are you doing to mount it | 13:50 |
| subsonik | ikonia: I didn't do anything to mount the volume group :-) | 13:51 |
| subsonik | I just mounted the logical volume | 13:51 |
| ikonia | subsonik: from where ? | 13:51 |
| subsonik | from the initramfs console | 13:51 |
| hillary | It is huawei mobile broadband model E 1750 | 13:51 |
| ikonia | how are y mounting it | 13:52 |
| ikonia | how are you | 13:52 |
| subsonik | I type mount /dev/ubuntu-vg/root /something | 13:52 |
| subsonik | and there I have my root volume under /something | 13:52 |
| subsonik | :) | 13:52 |
| rberg_ | weird so I had to recreate ttyS1.conf, 'stop ttyS1'. rm ttyS1.conf, then initctl reload-configuration.. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | at what point in the boot process do you gt the error message | 13:52 |
| rberg_ | I guess you have to stop it before removing the conf file | 13:52 |
| subsonik | ikonia: no clue, in grub I select recovery mode, then it runs for about 30 secs, then I get the error message "ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" | 13:53 |
| subsonik | and this is the shell I'm currently working in | 13:53 |
| subsonik | ie. where I can properly mount my root LV | 13:54 |
| subsonik | makes me think there is something wrong wit this "mapper" thing because he's complaining /dev/mapper/ubungu--vg-root doesn't exist - even though the LV seems fine | 13:54 |
| ikonia | subsonik: remove the boot splash and boot it normally | 13:55 |
| subsonik | what's a boot splash? | 13:55 |
| subsonik | if I boot normally I just get a black screen | 13:55 |
| subsonik | (dark purple, actually) | 13:55 |

| ikonia | subsonik: sorry, I'm lagging hard, what was your last question | 14:01 |
| subsonik | np it's about the boot issue where my root LV doesn't get mounted | 14:01 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'm trying to do something a bit complicated here; I made two partitions on my external SSD (which is where I want to install ubuntu), one which is 8GB and the other which is 60GB. I installed Ubuntu on the 8GB partition and tried to boot into it via the Boot Manager, but here comes the tricky part. | 14:02 |

| subsonik | you asked me to remove the boot splash (?) | 14:02 |
| subsonik | so I tried booting normally which gives me a black screen | 14:02 |
| ikonia | subsonik: it's a grub option | 14:02 |
| CorruptedHelix | It's an HP computer, so it only lets me choose devices, not partitions. It sees my eSATA drive, but when I boot into it I get a black backlit screen and nothing happens. | 14:02 |
| subsonik | k I'll have a look | 14:02 |
| CorruptedHelix | What might be the issue? | 14:02 |
| subsonik | ikonia: can't find anything boot splash related in grub | 14:03 |
| subsonik | do you mean the "recovery mode" ? | 14:03 |
| superkuh | I run Xubuntu 14.04 w/Ubuntu MATE desktop environment. I used to run the same on 12.04. After dist-upgrading to 14.04 I began to have constant, seemingly random, segfaults in my file managers (Caja, Thunar). I installed debug symbols, etc, and the backtraces on the crashes all point to memory corruption in the gslice magazine allocator. These crashes are so frequent as to make desktop use infuriating. I have documented the issue at: http://ubunt | 14:03 |

| CorruptedHelix | I installed Ubuntu to a drive via the USB Installer. On the drive is WUBI. Can I just launch Ubuntu via Wubi and install it to my target drive that way? | 14:21 |

| eutheria | so no one knows how to register break out of a crashed app that has stolen the keyboard/mouse focus? | 14:25 |

| CorruptedHelix | Yes | 14:35 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: have you actually installed ubuntu ? | 14:35 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: so why are you showing screenshots of the ubuntu file systems from windows ? | 14:35 |
| CorruptedHelix | ikonia: To show my goal, I'm typing a reply ot your first message | 14:36 |
| CorruptedHelix | Here's as far as I've gotten; I've downloaded the Ubuntu ISO. I used Universal USB Installer to install it on my 8GB partition. When I try to boot into this partition, nothing happens. | 14:36 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: how are you showing the ubuntu file system in windows | 14:36 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: the ubuntu file system is not visible by windows | 14:36 |
| CorruptedHelix | ikonia: I installed it via the ISO, I NEVER BOOTED INTO UBUNTU TO INSTALL IT YET. | 14:36 |
| mishravikas | Hi all am running ubuntu 14.04 and my system takes a lot of time to boot up so I checked dmesg logs and I can see that it takes about 300 seconds and that is no way normal can anyone please help me read and interpretthose logs? | 14:36 |
| eutheria | ikonia: he things he has installed ubuntu, but he has installed the installer | 14:36 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: typing in caps doesn't make it any more true | 14:37 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'm getting annoyed because this is going circular. | 14:37 |
| CorruptedHelix | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 14:37 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: if you installed into a 8GB partitioin, windows should not be able to seee that partition at all | 14:37 |
| CorruptedHelix | THat's what I used. | 14:37 |
| CorruptedHelix | ikonia: It formatted it to FAT32. | 14:37 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: then that's why it's failing | 14:37 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'll try again via UNetbootin. | 14:37 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: you should be using ext4 or xfs or some ort of linux supported file system with permissions | 14:37 |
| eutheria | CorruptedHelix: you are trying to do something that can't be done, | 14:37 |
| k1l | CorruptedHelix: for that sort of installer you need a removable usb device like a usb-pen-drive | 14:38 |
| CorruptedHelix | eutheria: I'm not doing anything like that on purpose, all I used is Universal USB Installer so far. | 14:38 |
| eutheria | where are you intending to install ubuntu to? the 8gb partition that the ubuntu installer is installed on? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: no need to change the installer | 14:38 |
| CorruptedHelix | k1l: I have none, which is why I am using a different partition | 14:38 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: the universal installer will not make fat32 file systems | 14:38 |
| k1l | CorruptedHelix: that doesnt work with usb-hdd or other partiitons | 14:38 |
| CorruptedHelix | God dammit. | 14:38 |
| mishravikas | can anyone help find problems from dmesg logs please? | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | lots of cooks now :) | 14:38 |
| CorruptedHelix | eutheria: I was intending to install it to the 8GB partition, boot into the partition, and then install it to my 60GB partition from inside of there. | 14:39 |
| CorruptedHelix | Essentially, I'm trying to use my 8GB partition as a USB drive. | 14:39 |
| fission6 | any ideas why when i run the following command from inside abash script i get "Extra" output in the console about Waiting for Node, the command is sudo service httpd restart, it works instantly when i run the command directly on the terminal, but if its done in a bashscript it hangs on this "Waiting for 1 node -> 19222" i don't even get that output when i run directly, any ideas!? | 14:39 |
| eutheria | CorruptedHelix: so you are going to have to find a way to get a boot loader, good luck with that if you have no cd's/pxe boot servers or usb drives | 14:40 |
| eutheria | and to which you don't need the 8gb partition | 14:40 |
| eutheria | google for windows boot loaders | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | CorruptedHelix, no usbs , no dvds or cds , go spnd a couple dollars and buy some media you can use to install from | 14:41 |
| eutheria | as i said in the first place | 14:41 |
| minimec | CorruptedHelix: Let's guess, that what you want is not possible. Couldn't it be a solution to install Virtualbox and create an empty virtual machine. Afterwards you load the Ubuntu live image into that VM, and install it on the physical 60GB partition ;) | 14:41 |
| CorruptedHelix | minimec: Is it? | 14:41 |
| eutheria | CorruptedHelix: don't listen, he is making fun | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett | minimec, I like that idea! | 14:42 |
| CorruptedHelix | I thought so. | 14:42 |
| eutheria | i personally like the idea too | 14:42 |
| eutheria | however don't | 14:42 |

| k1l | grub actually can boot from .isos but that is going to get real tricky to install and it is way more easier to get some sort of removable media | 14:43 |
| Con7e | Guys, are any of you a screen expert? | 14:43 |
| CorruptedHelix | minimec: Never. | 14:43 |
| eutheria | i am sure you can find €5 from somewhere | 14:43 |
| Con7e | I am trying to understand a strange bebhaviour | 14:43 |
| Con7e | I currently have 3 screen sessions | 14:43 |
| Con7e | con7e@Con7e:~$ screen -list | 14:43 |
| Con7e | There are screens on: | 14:43 |
| Con7e | 3285.pts-3.Con7e (09/03/2014 05:24:39 AM) (Detached) | 14:43 |

| minimec | CorruptedHelix: We do not know if your 'installation' on the ssd was really successful, right? | 14:43 |
| unopaste | Con7e you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted | 14:43 |
| CorruptedHelix | minimec: Nope. | 14:44 |
| eutheria | i really need a way to break out of my crashed app, xdotool could be my answer but what can i run to break the hold | 14:44 |
| eutheria | XF86Ungrab doesn't seem to be something on 14.04 | 14:44 |
| Con7e | I don't understand why the last one says "attached", since I am out of screen currently | 14:44 |
| Con7e | And the only way I can go there is with the -x flag | 14:45 |
| ObrienDave | !pastebin | Con7e | 14:45 |

| expunge | Con7e: -d -r | 14:45 |
| Con7e | what does that do exactly? | 14:46 |
| expunge | detaches, reattaches | 14:46 |
| k1l | Con7e: how did you get out of that session? | 14:46 |
| expunge | Con7e: basically it does what you want =P | 14:46 |
| Con7e | Ctrl-a d | 14:46 |
| Con7e | K1rk: | 14:46 |
| expunge | Con7e: no, screen -d -r # | 14:46 |
| expunge | oh k1l =) | 14:46 |
| k1l | well, then detach that with the command from expunge | 14:46 |
| Con7e | Now it works expunge | 14:47 |
| expunge | gj | 14:47 |
| Con7e | But why does -r -d detach all of them | 14:47 |
| expunge | it doesn't | 14:47 |
| Con7e | while CTRL-a d doesn't | 14:47 |
| Con7e | What I mean is | 14:48 |
| Con7e | If I type screen -r sessionX | 14:48 |
| Con7e | And then detach from there | 14:48 |
| Con7e | the session is still "attached" in the screen -list command | 14:48 |
| expunge | you sure? | 14:48 |
| Con7e | With your command, it's not | 14:48 |
| expunge | with my command, it doesn't matter if it | 14:49 |
| expunge | is | 14:49 |
| Con7e | Can you explain what that does? | 14:49 |
| Con7e | the man page is not really helpful | 14:50 |
| expunge | Con7e: it just attaches, and detaches it first if required | 14:51 |
| expunge | it says it plain as day in my man page =) | 14:51 |

| tim__ | moment.. need to resend picture | 15:07 |
| NodeWontSendEmai | tim__ you probably want to reinstall your apt get and updated it | 15:07 |
| Fuchs | not picture, text. | 15:07 |
| Fuchs | NodeWontSendEmai: he might want to give us the error messages first, that is a shot in the dark that can go terribly wrong | 15:08 |
| NodeWontSendEmai | what could go wrong reinstalling apt get ? it sounds like he just needs to reconfigure dpkg and update | 15:09 |
| NodeWontSendEmai | but i could be wrong | 15:09 |
| NodeWontSendEmai | Fuchs | 15:09 |
| Fuchs | it is one of the more crucial packages that one doesn't want to break, so without knowing what causes the error: touching it is not the best of all ideas. You also don't just rip out and replace various parts of a car or TV that doesn't work | 15:10 |
| Fuchs | chances are that an sudo apt-get -f install and/or sudo dpkg-reconfigure are all that is needed, but one would know better if one had error messages. Can be everything from bad config files to conflicting ppas etc. pp. | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | NodeWontSendEmai: you can use dpkg to install the apt-get deb file, no worries | 15:12 |

| expunge | semantics? | 15:17 |
| Fuchs | yes, and if the cause of the flat tire was unfortunately part of the car and is still there: the replacement will be flat right away too. This is why one analyzes the problem before blindly attempting to fix it | 15:17 |
| NodeWontSendEmai | then its not a tire problem anymore :P | 15:17 |

| Fuchs | guest322: I'd go with pulse as it adjusts the volume idependently of what soundcard is in use and what controls that offer, especially handy if you ever plan to use bluetooth headsets or usb headsets or if you have a laptop with different profiles for speaker / haedphones | 15:22 |

| ikonia | LFS: it's already there | 16:02 |
| k1l | LFS: which ubuntu exactly? | 16:02 |
| k1l | LFS: if newer than 12.10 then sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils | 16:03 |
| ikonia | k1l: should the kernel module not be present anyway | 16:03 |
| ikonia | fuse was just for the user space mount | 16:03 |
| k1l | well yes. i think its in the kernel anyway. but the user could state what the issue is behind that question, LFS | 16:04 |
| ikonia | sure | 16:05 |
| LFS | ikonia: I guess not .. look at this error and tell me whehter it supports exfat or not... | 16:05 |
| LFS | Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/aytam/4889-32EA: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/aytam/4889-32EA"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat' | 16:05 |

| ikonia | so not ubuntu then | 16:06 |
| LFS | isn't it? | 16:06 |
| k1l | LFS: sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils | 16:07 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Kylin is an officially supported Chinese version of Ubuntu | 16:07 |
| LFS | well, this is brand new piece of info to me. | 16:07 |
| ikonia | yess, but it's not actually ubuntu | 16:07 |
| LFS | I just thought an unbuntu that is all | 16:07 |
| ikonia | it's quite modified beyond language files | 16:07 |
| LFS | so which version isn't modified for chinese use? | 16:07 |
| theadmin | LFS: The one that's just "Ubuntu" | 16:07 |
| theadmin | You can get it at ubuntu.com | 16:08 |
| LFS | k1l: that seams to do the trick | 16:09 |
| ikonia | LFS: my wording was poor, it is an ubuntu release, it's just not the same as say the standard ubuntu product, the differences seem a reasonable ammount on the software stack, how that translates to things like the kernel I don't know | 16:09 |
| LFS | no wondering then I was lost trying to figure it's main installation window menus | 16:10 |
| LFS | I was like UGH | 16:10 |
| ikonia | LFS: are you actually looking for a chineese based distribution ? | 16:10 |
| LFS | ikonia: I've no good reason for that but I'm behind a limited internet connection and it has been happend to me "Downloading the NOT right version" | 16:12 |
| LFS | now I can see exfat sdd ... thanks to k1l | 16:12 |
| ikonia | LFS: ok, so you actually don't want the chineese product, you want the standard ubuntu desktop ? | 16:12 |
| LFS | are there fsck for exfat? | 16:12 |
| theadmin | LFS: You can order a DVD from Canonical | 16:12 |
| theadmin | I think | 16:12 |
| theadmin | Do they still do those? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | no idea | 16:12 |

| hsnopi | JAVA_HOME is supposed to point to the jre, correct? even if you have a jdk installed? | 16:40 |
| expunge | jdk is a jre, isn't it? =) | 16:40 |
| theadmin | expunge: Uh, no. | 16:40 |
| theadmin | Not... technically. | 16:40 |
| hsnopi | I thought a jdk was a java development kit which contained a java runtime environment | 16:40 |
| theadmin | hsnopi: That's correct, yes. | 16:41 |
| expunge | theadmin: to which I'll assume you mean yes | 16:41 |
| hsnopi | theadmin: thanks | 16:41 |
| theadmin | expunge: A JDK is a java Development Kit. It may or may not include a Java Runtime Environment, but it most certainly needs one to work properly. | 16:41 |
| expunge | theadmin: so again, yes =P | 16:42 |
| hsnopi | I'm trying to set up shibboleth and needed the correct paths. Thanks | 16:42 |
| theadmin | expunge: But they're not the same thing... You don't need a JDK to use a JRE and stuffs | 16:42 |
| expunge | yeah, but that isn't what he was interested in | 16:42 |
| expunge | he was asking whether a "jdk" package provides a jre | 16:42 |
| hsnopi | Actually, I was sort of looking for the definition of JAVA_HOME. What is intended to be used as a pointer to. | 16:43 |
| LFS | this is a general linux question ... how to view target url or application path saved into windows .lnk files? | 16:43 |
| LFS | gedit and cat just show me garbage | 16:43 |

| litropy | Hi, all - after switching to nvidia's proprietary hardware driver via Additional Drivers, my display is locked in 640x480 resolution. It is the only menu entry in Displays. I have run a few commands and briefly formatted them for your convenience at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8366831/ | 18:52 |
| JDAIII | _blk, the problem with that is that all the new laptops have uefi which is what I had problems with on my toshiba. It kept deleting the efi entry for my drive and I couldn't get it to stick no matter what I tried, efibootmgr boot-repair, nothing worked so I switched back to windows and I'm requisitioning a new laptop from work and want something i7(8core) and 126GB RAM and preferrably 2GB VRAM as I run VMs and they get choppy in linux if I | 18:53 |
| JDAIII | have multiple VMs running | 18:53 |

| litropy | PengunCSC, to 14.04? | 20:22 |
| litropy | Basically, when I try, I get all kinds of warnings to (paraphrased) "definitely don't do this. You have a tin can. It will break into a thousand pieces." | 20:24 |

| VidjaJames | I have been trying to get ubuntu and gnome working but after hours of hacking away I am able to get the gdm greeter to show up and I created a new account which and log in and get the desktop but my main account just goes to a blank screen with a cursor then back to log in | 21:38 |
| k1l_ | VidjaJames: make sure in /home all the .XAuthority files belong to user:user | 21:39 |
| VidjaJames | I would check that with ls -lah? | 21:41 |
| k1l_ | yes | 21:41 |
| VidjaJames | i don't see .xauthority | 21:43 |
| k1l_ | in the users home, where the login doesn work? | 21:44 |
| VidjaJames | yeah not there | 21:44 |
| the_hugger | I have a static network configuration that was originally IPv4, and I reconfigured everything to use IPv6 instead. IPv6 is working, but the original IPv4 address still shows up when doing `ifconfig eth0`. Doing `ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0` does not remove the IPv4 output from `ifconfig`. Only a restart of the OS removes the IPv4 address. Why is this? | 21:45 |

| smart_developer | I'm having an issue with /etc/rsyslog.d/00-my-file.conf | 21:55 |
| smart_developer | Specifically, whenever I "service restart rsyslog" | 21:55 |
| smart_developer | It doesn't log anything in the path I specified inside /etc/rsyslog.d/00-my-file.conf | 21:56 |
| smart_developer | should be logging to a file named /var/log/my-dir/my-log.log | 21:56 |
| yeats | smart_developer: check the file permissions in /var/log | 21:56 |
| smart_developer | What should it be? | 21:56 |
| yeats | smart_developer: first of all, does the directory path exist yet? | 21:56 |
| smart_developer | So, the logging works whenever I add the configuration inside /etc/rsyslog.conf under "Rules" | 21:57 |
| nattonerd | daftykins: oh its”Up and Running with Linux for PHP Developers” | 21:57 |
| smart_developer | yes, I even touch-ed the file. | 21:57 |
| smart_developer | (the log file) | 21:57 |
| yeats | ok, what are the current perms on the new director and file? | 21:57 |
| yeats | *directory | 21:57 |
| smart_developer | let's see | 21:57 |
| smart_developer | The file is root : root | 21:57 |
| smart_developer | /var/log/my-dir is also root : root | 21:58 |
| smart_developer | (so /var/log/my-dir and /var/log/my-dir/my-log.log are both root : root) | 21:58 |
| smart_developer | I basically just did "touch my-log.log" | 21:58 |
| smart_developer | So I guess that's what it was by default. | 21:58 |
| yeats | smart_developer: it may need to be owned by syslog : adm | 21:59 |
| smart_developer | so, owner = syslog, group = adm ? | 21:59 |
| yeats | yeah | 21:59 |
| smart_developer | But it works when it's (root : root) whenever I'm using /etc/rsyslog.conf | 22:00 |
| smart_developer | It just doesn't seem to work whenever I'm configuring it in /etc/rsyslog.d/00-my-file.conf instead. | 22:00 |
| smart_developer | That's the strange part about it. | 22:00 |
| === gargola_ is now known as gargola | ||
| smart_developer | What's even stranger is that I think it was working previously whenever I made the configuration in /etc/rsyslog.d/00-my-file.conf, instead of in /etc/rsyslog.conf | 22:03 |
| smart_developer | But now it only works whenever I specify my configuration inside of /etc/rsyslog.conf | 22:04 |

| OerHeks | lonewulf85, 'top' or install htop to identify | 23:10 |

| OerHeks | lonewulf85, yes | 23:14 |
| Steve_Jobs | is it safe to remove avahi-daemon? | 23:14 |
| Steve_Jobs | what purpose does it serve? | 23:14 |
| lonewulf85 | I found bdgui with the pid of 3362 when I run fg 3362 i get "no such job" | 23:15 |
| OerHeks | Steve_Jobs, avahi is an indexing service, you can stop and remove it. only search sommand take longer to complete | 23:15 |
| eeee | lonewulf85: type jobs, then fg <job number> | 23:16 |
| eeee | it's the number in the [ ] | 23:16 |
| Steve_Jobs | OerHeks: I looked in the services that it's supposed to be running and that dir is empty | 23:16 |
| lonewulf85 | with that i get syntax error | 23:17 |
| eeee | what are you typing? | 23:17 |
| Steve_Jobs | what would be a good list of things to remove from ubuntu that are eating up cpu cycles? | 23:18 |
| eeee | it's like fg 2, if it's [2] when you type jobs | 23:18 |
| eeee | Steve_Jobs: some people remove zeitgeist and telepathy and whatnot | 23:19 |
| tobiasBora | Hello | 23:20 |
| tobiasBora | I've a problem with my microphone, I can't make it work... | 23:20 |
| mjayk | tobiasBora, what are you running and what interface is the microphone | 23:21 |
| tobiasBora | mjayk: I run Kubuntu 14.04, and both internal/external microphone are broken. (I'm not sure it's important but my combo jack isn't recognized when I plug it) | 23:22 |
| mjayk | tobiasBora, ah kde is known for its audio issues have you changed anything regarding pulse audio or is it stock ? | 23:23 |
| tobiasBora | mjayk: I've only installed a few packages such as pavucontrol to get graphical tools to deal with pulseaudio, but except that pulseaudio is clean | 23:24 |
| mjayk | recently installed any programs that would use / change the audio system such as skype ? | 23:24 |
| tobiasBora | mjayk: Not skype, I've installed audacity and avconv | 23:25 |
| tobiasBora | but that's all | 23:25 |
| mjayk | tobiasBora, sounds stupid but your sure that its not muted in pavu, also has it worked before on this system | 23:25 |
| Shariff | if I apt-get install librxtx-java, does that also install any dependency libraries? I need the rxtx for serial communication and now I have the java libraries I also require the OS libraries so I can use the serial port | 23:26 |
| tobiasBora | mjayk: I checked but everything sounds fine... If you want to check here is a screenshot : http://wstaw.org/m/2014/09/18/plasma-desktopeG2300.png | 23:27 |
| tobiasBora | And I'm not sure it has ever work... I wonder if one time it didn't work but I can't be sure. | 23:28 |
| tobiasBora | And I don't know if it's normal, but when I change the sound of the micro from alsamixer there is a "click" sound, and the micro suddently detect a sound (the blue bar in pulseaudio is suddently growing during a small time | 23:29 |
| mjayk | tobiasBora, sorry i really dont kow | 23:30 |
| mjayk | *know | 23:30 |
| tobiasBora | Ok thank you... I will try to reboot in live USB with ubuntu 14.04... | 23:32 |
| bash4ever | is it possible that using ssh-keygen may modify sudo behavior? | 23:37 |
| somebodyrandom | hi, maybe interesting for other users: my ubuntu 12.04 lts has kept refusing to upgrade because of "unresolved dependencies"... not giving details. after searching for logs, i found that it did not dare to remove update-manager-kde which i had apparently installed in addition to update-manager ... after manually uninstalling that, it worked :) | 23:37 |
| somebodyrandom | well, it almost worked. it first asked me to make at least 7.4 gb of free space (turns out that putting /var/cache/apt/archives on another partition would also have been a way instead of making more / and /usr space) | 23:39 |
| somebodyrandom | soooooo i would be happy if the 14.04 upgrade app could actually display why it aborts, instead of just saying "unresolved dependencies" thanks :) | 23:39 |
| jimi | good morning | 23:40 |
| somebodyrandom | good morning jimi :) | 23:40 |
| somebodyrandom | and cu :) | 23:42 |
