| daftykins | ph0x: i have to scroll back 3 screens in my client to see a bunch of your messages, can you try writing a question in full on just *one* ? :) | 00:15 |
| ph0x | daftykins: im sorry | 00:16 |
| ph0x | im a bit worked up by this iv never had such a problem befor | 00:16 |
| daftykins | ph0x: ok why are you trying to connect to wifi via command line? | 00:17 |
| ph0x | daftykins: because all i want to run is openbox | 00:18 |
| ph0x | literally openbox and VLC | 00:18 |
| daftykins | ph0x: so this is some form of dedicated system that's going to... stream a video feed? or similar? | 00:18 |
| ph0x | i had it running on debian before but after it updated i couldnt get the services to start on startup | 00:19 |
| ph0x | idk why | 00:19 |
| ph0x | its a cart | 00:19 |
| ph0x | with a computer on it | 00:19 |
| ph0x | it runs VLC | 00:19 |
| daftykins | you're pressing enter a lot again. | 00:19 |
| daftykins | please stop doing that | 00:19 |
| ph0x | sorry :( | 00:19 |
| daftykins | what do you mean by cart? | 00:20 |
| underplay | Hello, i installed ubuntu 14.04 from the live cd and after installation file -sk /dev/sda shows that there is still a DOS bootloader | 00:20 |
| ph0x | a push cart | 00:20 |
| underplay | and when i reboot i get no operating system found | 00:20 |
| underplay | help please | 00:20 |
| ph0x | you download media from torrents using rutorrent | 00:20 |
| ph0x | then play it with VLC | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: Do you have UEFI or BIOS based boot firmware? | 00:20 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: How do i find that out? | 00:21 |
| squinty | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:21 |
| daftykins | ph0x: sounds more like you want to run a dedicated HTPC OS on this thing to play videos via a menu, not a custom OS | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: There are a few ways, among them looking at the motherboard documentation or looking for "UEFI" in the boot menus. How old is this machine? What model? | 00:22 |
| ph0x | daftykins: i need to be able to run rutorrent too | 00:22 |
| ph0x | idk what "HTPC" is | 00:22 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: Legacy boot on HDD | 00:22 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: Its from 2012 and i cant see the model right now | 00:22 |
| underplay | 2010* | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ph0x: are you familiar with XBMC? www.xbmc.org - they make ubuntu spins (xbmcbuntu) that are built for this sort of purpose, it's still ubuntu underneath so you could install any such torrent client | 00:22 |
| ph0x | my problem is the wifi | 00:23 |
| ph0x | not what i want to do | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: Please give some context. Where are you seeing "Legacy boot on HDD"? | 00:23 |
| ph0x | if i could just get the wifi to work then th rest is easy | 00:23 |
| daftykins | ph0x: right but you're messing around with wpa supplicant instead of using network manager, why? | 00:23 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: I went to the link that was posted by squinty and ran the command "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" " | 00:23 |
| ph0x | nmcli was too confusing | 00:24 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: I also used grub-install proper and it said it was a success but /dev/sda is still a dos bootloader | 00:24 |
| ph0x | the intructions didnt say anything about how to atually connect | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: What grub-install command did you use exactly? | 00:24 |
| daftykins | ph0x: i mean a full network manager, doesn't openbox have one? | 00:24 |
| ph0x | nm-applet required a systray | 00:24 |
| ph0x | i installed a systray | 00:24 |
| daftykins | is there a reason you're married to openbox? | 00:24 |
| underplay | Jordan_U: "grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda" | 00:24 |
| ph0x | daftykins: this isnt helping me | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: What output from file makes you think that you have a "DOS bootloader"? | 00:24 |
| ph0x | feels like a mother-in-law | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | underplay | 00:25 |
| ubottu | underplay: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 00:25 |
| squinty | underplay: if you install inxi then in a terminal inxi -M will display bios, motherboard etc info | 00:25 |
| ph0x | i just need something to run VLC in | 00:25 |
| ph0x | openbox is th esimplest | 00:25 |
| ph0x | its small | 00:25 |
| ph0x | why would i NEED anything more | 00:25 |
| ph0x | all i need it to do it house vlc | 00:25 |
| ph0x | the PROBLEM is the wii | 00:25 |
| ph0x | wifi | 00:25 |
| Ben64 | ph0x: because you're lacking a network manager | 00:25 |
| ph0x | WICD said bad password even when i know it wasnt, networkmanager doesnt work | 00:26 |
| daftykins | ^ | 00:26 |
| ph0x | i installed a systray | 00:26 |
| daftykins | i think i'm going to abandon this ticket. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | ph0x: Because using WPA supplicant directly is hard. Hardly anyone does it. | 00:26 |
| ph0x | i ran nm-applet and i got it to work | 00:26 |
| ph0x | but you had to disconnect from the AP then reconnect to it | 00:26 |
| ph0x | otherwise it woldnt work | 00:26 |
| daftykins | sounds like a wireless chipset driver issue | 00:26 |
| ph0x | upon boot it SAID it was connected but i couldnt connect to anything | 00:26 |
| daftykins | or an access point misconfiguration | 00:26 |
| ph0x | it orked before with debian | 00:27 |
| ph0x | it works with this arch laptop | 00:27 |
| underplay | hmm ok | 00:27 |
| underplay | i ran that script, and it says that grub is installed | 00:27 |
| ph0x | seems like ubuntu server is broken to me | 00:27 |
| underplay | Im going to reboot to double check and if not i will be back for more help, thanks everyone | 00:27 |
| ph0x | iv worked for the last 24 hours on this and iv tried everything | 00:27 |
| daftykins | ph0x: there are a lot of people out there who would disagree. | 00:27 |
| Ben64 | ph0x: did you try installing a real network manager | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | underplay: Please post the complete RESULTS.txt to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com , and post a link to the output here. | 00:27 |
| ph0x | the wifi dongle worked just fine under debian | 00:28 |
| daftykins | you haven't even told us what the wifi dongle is | 00:28 |
| ph0x | Ben64: iv explained twice about how i installed networkmanager | 00:28 |
| daftykins | nor its' chipset | 00:28 |
| ph0x | Netgear WG111v3 | 00:29 |
| ph0x | i dont know what chipset that is | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | ph0x: Please pastebin the output of "lsusb". | 00:30 |
| daftykins | it appears to be a RTL8187B | 00:31 |
| daftykins | !realtek | 00:31 |
| ubottu | some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 00:31 |
| daftykins | ph0x: ^ | 00:31 |
| ph0x | yes | 00:32 |
| ph0x | thats what it says | 00:32 |
| ph0x | its not recent | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | ph0x: Realtek drivers are notoriously unreliable. | 00:32 |
| ph0x | the things like 6 years old i guess | 00:32 |
| daftykins | might be something of use on the page regardless | 00:32 |
| daftykins | yes, it is a dinosaur of a dongle | 00:32 |
| ph0x | it was notoriously free | 00:33 |
| ph0x | :) | 00:33 |
| ph0x | and id like it to work | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | ph0x: I would highly recommend getting a good Intel or Atheros internal (rather than USB) card. | 00:33 |
| ph0x | as soon as i see one in a e-waste bin ill snag it | 00:33 |
| ph0x | trust me | 00:33 |
| ph0x | seriously | 00:34 |
| ph0x | it says it doesnt work with wpa | 00:34 |
| ph0x | how come this worked fine in debian? | 00:34 |
| daftykins | if you're talking about the page, then it's outdated, so who knows what it claims versus reality | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | ph0x: Realtek drivers are unreliable, meaning that they sometimes work and sometimes don't. Differences in configuration or kernel version that normally wouldn't break the functionality of the card with reliable drivers, could easily do so with Realtek drivers. | 00:36 |
| ph0x | im gonna go with "debian = old dongle = old" | 00:37 |
| ph0x | lol | 00:37 |
| OerHeks | did you run arch, rebooted and then this issue appeared? or cold boot | 00:37 |

Sometimes, randomly (didn't figure out the exact scenario in which it happens), when I alt+tab to a certain window and I click on elements inside it, the click would be registered like two centimeters above the the actual click. In order to make clicks register in the proper area again, I have to alt+tab to some other window and | 00:38 |

| bubbasaures | fanthomas, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/4805486 | 01:42 |
| fanthomas | bubbasaures: that's official archive? | 01:43 |
| daftykins | bilb_ono: this kind of information is not necessary, if your friend created a torrent they must be acting as the tracker for it - in which case they must have set something up wrong. however, the creating and sharing of torrents is beyond the scope of this channel | 01:44 |
| thoonai | so you first have to get the torrent file or the magnet link, then open transmission, then a button 'open' should be there to select the torrent file, or 'File'->'Open URL' and then paste the magnet link | 01:44 |
| bubbasaures | fanthomas, looks like from a ppa, but the deb is there, not sure there is anything more official than that | 01:44 |

| thoonai | transmission-gtk is the graphical frontend for transmission | 02:09 |
| thoonai | transmission is the deamon itself | 02:09 |
| bilb_ono | ok. well it still appears to be in /usr/share/transmission | 02:11 |
| olcseal | howdy all | 02:12 |
| thoonai | bilb_ono: this is quite intesesting, open a terminal and execute "sudo ps aux | grep transmission" | 02:13 |
| thoonai | that should list any process still running | 02:13 |
| bilb_ono | thoonai, oh the daemon was still running | 02:13 |
| thoonai | sudo pkill transmission ends the deamon | 02:14 |
| bilb_ono | thoonai so now that its removed, do I just run sudo apt-get remove transmission transmission-gtk again? | 02:14 |

| daftykins | veryhappy: why are you sharing the system? that's a terrible idea :( | 02:58 |
| urielvigilant | daftykins: wich is the best way to show a image her e? | 02:59 |
| cfhowlett | summerleave, the file backup utility is dead. single login aka ubuntuone remains | 02:59 |
| veryhappy | daftykins: i share the system because he is paying the bills and i can use the system for free. | 02:59 |

| daftykins | urielvigilant: post it to a free image sharing website | 03:00 |
| k_sze | I'm asked this: Is there a key labelled '¨' | 03:00 |
| daftykins | summerleave: desktp 10.04? that's EOL and thus unsupported. | 03:00 |
| === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded | ||
| daftykins | *desktop | 03:01 |
| k_sze | I happen to know that it's asking about the trema only because I know French. | 03:01 |
| k_sze | I bet a lot of people mistake it for the double quote. | 03:01 |
| daftykins | k_sze: so if you don't have one, say no :) | 03:01 |
| akurilin | fanthomas: supposedly logrotate doesn't actually run hourly which can be seen by checking /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly | 03:01 |
| summerleave | daftykins: well, I don't really like how ubuntu have changed and is changing... it works as long as it works... the server version 5 year support makes it work I guess. | 03:01 |
| akurilin | fanthomas: basically as far as I understand it, you can set it, but logrotate only runs once a day | 03:01 |
| k_sze | daftykins: It's easily mistaken for a double quote for people who don't know about the trema, I think. | 03:02 |
| daftykins | summerleave: yeah so you have until April if that's a server, but security support isn't something you like or not, it's something you should do :) | 03:02 |
| daftykins | k_sze: oh well, i've never seen that one come up and just select my keyboard layout manually | 03:03 |

| summerleave | I wonder if it is possible to remove everything else except Shutdown? Like remove the logout in the gnome2 menu, but not shutdown | 03:10 |
| x166z | anything is possible when it comes to open-source if you have the skill-set | 03:10 |

| rypervenche | k_sze: It is shift + [ | 03:15 |
| k_sze | rypervenche: I know that. | 03:16 |
| k_sze | rypervenche: I'm saying it's confusing for people who don't know French (I know French.) | 03:16 |
| rypervenche | k_sze: That is the official keyboard layout that is used in France, the azerty layout. If you don't like it you can use the French Canadian layout or the International English one. You have many choices. | 03:17 |
| k_sze | ... | 03:17 |
| k_sze | You're missing my point. | 03:17 |
| k_sze | I *know* French. I usually use the Canadian French layout for typing French. | 03:18 |
| k_sze | I'm saying that the question asked during keyboard detection is confusing for people who don't know French. | 03:19 |
| k_sze | Because the trema looks like the double quote for people who don't know French. | 03:19 |
| squinty | that should be "typing French, eh?, eh? :P (vancouver island boy here) | 03:20 |

| redfox__ | im looking for some help with an ubuntu server. having trouble port forwarding for minecraft and having clients connect other than in the network | 03:23 |
| daftykins | redfox__: that's more to do with your router than it is ubuntu server then. | 03:24 |
| daftykins | redfox__: confirm the port it uses, open it both TCP/UDP, job done | 03:24 |
| warsoul | somebody knows as400? | 03:25 |
| redfox__ | well the port forward works fine but it declines clients requests from anywhere other than inside the network its really weird | 03:25 |
| daftykins | redfox__: what does the minecraft server log say? | 03:26 |
| fanthomas | akurilin: one solution is to symlink or copy /etc/cron.daily/logrotate to /etc/cron.hourly/ directory | 03:26 |
| redfox__ | daftykins let me pull it up and check | 03:26 |

| daftykins | i helped someone get one going once, pretty sure some configs had to be edited | 03:36 |

| karl | I officially give up on Windows. Just installed Unbuntu. | 05:27 |
| l2ksolkov | Why'd ya give up on Windoze? | 05:28 |
| karl | Microsoft must have just sent out updates and my computer wouldn't boot | 05:28 |
| GlaceonG | I understand that it's practically the middle of the night, but my expecting of good support from #ubuntu is this channel's fualt for having hundreds of people currently online -- all which which may or may not be staff, there is no way of telling. | 05:29 |
| l2ksolkov | Go ahead and state it | 05:29 |
| l2ksolkov | I probably won't be able to help but who knows. | 05:29 |
| GlaceonG | Quoting myself from over 10 minutes ago on #ubuntu-gnome, "http://i.imgur.com/KO7xXgF.png Shadow's glitched on multiple applicatings, currently using [GNOME 3.12.3] on [Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 32-bit]. Any solution?" | 05:29 |
| l2ksolkov | I have a stupid question | 05:30 |
| l2ksolkov | Is your graphics card seated correctly? | 05:30 |
| l2ksolkov | This happened to me awhile ago and it wasn't seated correctly. | 05:30 |
| GlaceonG | Not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean the chip might be loose? | 05:31 |
| l2ksolkov | Yeas. | 05:31 |
| l2ksolkov | yes* | 05:31 |
| l2ksolkov | I've had zero sleep and zero coffee. | 05:31 |
| karl | I had downloaded a video conversion tool from download.com. It had some sort of ytdownloader program that changed my home pages in both Chrome and IE. I tried to delete the program, and then got the revised BSOD in windows 8.1. Tried booting over and over, it kept crashing. Loaded a previous restore point, and then I couldn't get into windows at all | 05:31 |
| l2ksolkov | karl: first mistake: download.com | 05:32 |
| GlaceonG | It's a possibility, but highly unlikely. My laptop hasn't moved an inch all year. | 05:32 |
| l2ksolkov | How long has it been going on for? | 05:32 |
| GlaceonG | I shut it down when I go to sleep, just me being paranoid about temperature and the such. | 05:32 |
| BQ | what is difference between /sys and /proc/sys? | 05:33 |
| karl | Loaded Unbuntu tonight but wasn't crazy about the desktop and not much customization. Then tried Unbuntu Gnome, but had video driver issues | 05:33 |
| l2ksolkov | What's the current temperature? | 05:33 |
| karl | so I reloaded Unbuntu and here I am | 05:33 |
| GlaceonG | I'm unsure how to check that. | 05:34 |
| l2ksolkov | Oh my bad | 05:34 |
| l2ksolkov | I thought the applet on the top was the GPU/CPU temp | 05:34 |
| l2ksolkov | It's weather :-P | 05:35 |
| GlaceonG | Weather? 67*F inside. | 05:35 |
| l2ksolkov | Try acpi -t | 05:36 |
| tao | hey guys, I'm currently running kernel 3.17RC5, and my Haswell CPU is not entering c6 according to i7z, any ideas? | 05:36 |
| GlaceonG | acpi is not installed. Paranoid again, this application shouldn't break anything correct? | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | I wouldn't install it. | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | apt-get install lm_sensors | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | then sensors | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | it should give it. | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | Or you could just feel it | 05:37 |
| l2ksolkov | If its too hot give it a rest. | 05:37 |
| GlaceonG | I check it every so hour, it's only gotten hot when I leave it on over a period of three or so nights. | 05:38 |
| l2ksolkov | Have you changed any graphics settings lately? | 05:38 |
| GlaceonG | I've recently installed some gnome extensions, but that shouldn't be the problem sense it happens even when they're all off. | 05:40 |
| l2ksolkov | "off" doesn't always mean off | 05:40 |
| l2ksolkov | Uninstall them and reboot. | 05:41 |
| GlaceonG | Sort of what I meant. Gnome has a bug in it which removes all extensions upon reboot. I think I found a way to fix it, but since last night I've always had to re-install them over and over. | 05:41 |
| l2ksolkov | I would normally test it but the past 3 versions of Ubuntu just kernel panic on startup so that's useless. | 05:42 |
| GlaceonG | Well, I suppose I'll take my leave. I'll check #ubuntu-gnome later today. | 05:43 |
| l2ksolkov | All these quit and join messages. | 05:47 |

I have made a template directory under /home/arie/python/test/mysite/templates. In the template directory I made a directory admin and in these is base_site.html. Changed the site header. Added TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')] to settings.py. But unfortuantely the admin interface still says 'Django adminis | 07:20 |

| cfhowlett | Melar, nope. end of life upgrade. | 08:01 |
| Melar | you can not even force an upgrade? | 08:01 |
| Melar | woah | 08:01 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade | melar eolupgrade IS the "force" | 08:01 |
| ubottu | melar eolupgrade IS the "force": End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 08:01 |
| user39211 | Melar, i prefer to stay with 10.04 because i downloaded my own repo for offline installation...If i upgraded i would have to rebuild my entire repo and reinstall again. I'll see what I can find on the forums. All i need is bluetooth going. | 08:02 |
| nusr | how can windows 7 guest access shared folder on host ubuntu. w7 guest to windows host is no problem but w7 guest to linux host folders not detected. i have already set up in virtual box to share a host folder but it is not showing up in the guest | 08:14 |
| cfhowlett | !vbox | nusr | 08:15 |
| ubottu | nusr: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 08:15 |
| bazhang | nusr, try in #vbox ,yet? | 08:15 |
| nusr | cool thanks cfhowlett and bazhang...i'll go there now | 08:15 |

| borw3 | Which is better? ubuntu or xubuntu? | 08:25 |
| narbeh | borw3: Ubuntu | 08:25 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, ubuntu IS xubuntu with a different desktop environment | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | borw3 | 08:26 |
| ubottu | borw3: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 08:26 |
| Melar | borw3: ubuntu + cinnamon lol | 08:26 |
| narbeh | !kubuntu | 08:26 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 08:26 |
| Melar | !CUbuntu | 08:27 |
| borw3 | So, I have xubuntu, and wan't that ubuntu feature of auto placing windows properly. What do I need to achieve this in xubuntu? | 08:27 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, unity, i.e. ubuntu | 08:28 |
| borw3 | I used to use ubuntu till 12.04lts it stated becoming laggy. Has it improved now? | 08:29 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, unity is a memory resource hog, still. lubuntu/xubuntu will be faster. want unity? get more ram. | 08:30 |
| borw3 | cfhowlett: I just want that one feature of auto window placement. Not the whole of unity. Isn't it possible? | 08:31 |
| Melar | borw3: on my netbook I use lubuntu with lxde might be a faster running option... or go completely openbox but then you have to configure your menus i think. | 08:31 |
| SixtyFold | borw3: to use Ubuntu default now you maywell consider your specs to be up with the likes of a Windows/OSX computer | 08:31 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, pretty sure that's an integrated unity feature but I could be wrong | 08:31 |
| SixtyFold | other wise use another window manager etc | 08:31 |
| Melar | Openbox is definately the fastest. | 08:32 |
| SixtyFold | indeed | 08:32 |
| Melar | !openbox | 08:32 |
| ubottu | openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox | 08:32 |
| SixtyFold | i love openbox alone, i run that with debian mostly for all my VMs | 08:32 |
| borw3 | By the way, debian is better than ubuntu? since it's the main source? | 08:33 |
| Melar | I agree.. openbox +conky is awesome | 08:33 |
| SixtyFold | if you want pretty, you get the hardware for pretty, if you want to get work done, you just need a terminal and a very quickly slapped together GUI | 08:33 |
| Timoty | hello all | 08:33 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, "better" ... that's a religious question. not answerable | 08:34 |
| SixtyFold | Melar: yah, crunchbang is a good way to get that combo out the box all put together for you | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | SixtyFold, well said! | 08:34 |
| borw3 | Performance wise. Debian hogs less RAM than ubuntu? | 08:34 |
| SixtyFold | not really | 08:34 |
| SixtyFold | your window manager and shit is going to be the biggest difference in that | 08:34 |
| Timoty | how to get the temperature of the processsor? | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | !sensors | Timoty, | 08:35 |
| ubottu | Timoty,: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 08:35 |
| Melar | Timothy apt-get install hdtemp lw_sensors | 08:35 |
| Melar | er error hddtemp | 08:35 |
| borw3 | debian can come with openbox on default? | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | borw3, ask #debian ... | 08:36 |
| Melar | Apt-get install hddtemp lw_sensors | 08:36 |
| Melar | crunchbang is cool but I guess me sticking with ubuntu is a religious answer lol. | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Melar: ? | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | ikonia, borw3 asked which is better; ubuntu or debian. I responded that the query was an unanswerable religious viewpoint. | 08:45 |
| ikonia | ah, I'm missing part of the conversation | 08:45 |
| Timoty | so do I | 08:47 |
| Melar | Same here. I equate windows with unprotected computer sex. | 08:48 |
| ikonia | ok that's being silly | 08:48 |
| ikonia | please, enough | 08:48 |

| gregtom6 | hy all | 09:23 |
| utfans05_work | hello! | 09:24 |
| gregtom6 | how can I connect to a slave bluetooth module and get datas from that? I tried to use screen application with /dev/rfcomm0, but nothing I get | 09:24 |
| === tdc is now known as Guest8783 | ||
| Phibonacci | Hello. I'd like to use a graphic interface to quickly use another screen instead of my actual little laptopop screen but I do not know any package that would allow me to do that. | 09:30 |
| Phibonacci | I used NetInstall to install ubuntu and I currently run awesome-wm and some basic packages like firerox | 09:31 |
| Phibonacci | Could you show me what package would allow me to configure my new screen ? | 09:32 |
| ikonia | then you'll need to configure Xorg to use your other screen | 09:32 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest79148 | ||
| Phibonacci | I have no idea how to do it and I lake of time. You think I could do that easily ? | 09:33 |
| ikonia | not really | 09:33 |
| ikonia | you've chosen a window manager/desktop environment that as far as I know doesnt have the same tools as things like gnome which has the ability to hot-configure additional displays | 09:34 |
| utfans05_work | Phibonacci: this is for debian but it shoudl work. https://wiki.debian.org/Xorg | 09:34 |
| ikonia | you can use xrandr to configure the second screen on the fly | 09:34 |
| utfans05_work | after you install it you would follow that guide. | 09:34 |
| utfans05_work | From a tty. | 09:35 |
| Phibonacci | I could not download the unity or gnome packages ? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | no | 09:37 |
| Phibonacci | I have something to code in the day and my current laptop screen is too small for my eyes | 09:37 |
| ikonia | as are for gnome/unity | 09:37 |
| utfans05_work | well gone and unity are DE's. that's not the actual X server that runs the display. | 09:38 |
| Fuchs | of course he could just download the packages for whatever graphical xrandr frontend there is | 09:38 |
| Fuchs | in case of nvidia he could also use nvidia-settings, in case of fglrx he could use amdccle or whatever it is called | 09:38 |
| ikonia | that does not configure them on the fly | 09:39 |
| ikonia | that configures xorg | 09:39 |
| Fuchs | err? Both of them can be used to configure additional monitors | 09:39 |
| Fuchs | or he could just install arandr | 09:40 |
| ikonia | nvidia-settings does not configure screens in real time | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | yes it does | 09:40 |
| ikonia | does it ? | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | yes it does. | 09:40 |
| ikonia | I thought it only updated xorg | 09:40 |
| ikonia | very cool | 09:40 |
| ikonia | how does it update the screens dynamically ? | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | it only uses xorg.conf for things that require it, e.g. setting it up as a separate screen / xinerama | 09:41 |
| Fuchs | ikonia: my guess would be xrandr, but I didn't bother looking into the source code yet | 09:41 |
| ikonia | right, so thats not dyanamic | 09:41 |
| ikonia | the screen needs to be restarted | 09:41 |
| ikonia | the xorg | 09:41 |
| Fuchs | no it doesn't | 09:41 |
| utfans05_work | nvidia-settings can only configure a few things live. | 09:41 |
| ikonia | xorg.conf is not dynamic, it's only parsed on an xorg start/ | 09:41 |
| Fuchs | *sigh* | 09:41 |
| utfans05_work | Most of them require an X restart though. | 09:41 |
| Fuchs | ikonia: do you even read what I write? It only does that when needed | 09:42 |
| Phibonacci | Display controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 09:42 |
| Fuchs | for adding another screen it is _not_ needed | 09:42 |
| scooby | ciao | 09:42 |
| Phibonacci | too bad | 09:42 |
| user2020 | the easiest way is to reboot the pc with the external monitor plugged in so the pc detects it. just keep it plugged in. | 09:42 |
| Fuchs | Phibonacci: then install arandr and use that | 09:42 |
| scooby | !LIST | 09:42 |
| ubottu | scooby: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 09:42 |
| Fuchs | ikonia: if you don't believe me I can quickly attach a screen to the very notebook in front of me and video capture it | 09:42 |
| ikonia | Fuchs: I'm not doubting you | 09:42 |
| Phibonacci | PERFECT ! | 09:43 |
| Phibonacci | Thanks a lot ! | 09:43 |
| ikonia | it's certainly not how I believed it works, | 09:43 |
| Fuchs | nvidia-settings, both the CLI and GUI variant (even though the former is a pain), can be used to add / remove a second screen (including video projectors) on the fly without any restart of anything needed. | 09:43 |
| hy | sad | 09:43 |
| Fuchs | it can _as well_ write things to xorg.conf, which for certain configurations is needed (those would also not work dynamically on other chipsets / with other methods) | 09:43 |
| === tdc_ is now known as tdc | ||
| Fuchs | but anyway, as he doesn't have nvidia it's pointless to discuss it, he can use arandr and be happy (minor sidenote: as nvidia is fully randr 1.2 compliant by now, that would also work on nvidia) | 09:44 |
| Phibonacci | Have a great day. | 09:50 |

| thys__ | lo? | 09:51 |
| gregtom6 | I get this error, after I connected to Dev B from bluetooth manager (bluez and so on) | 09:51 |
| utfans05_work | Are you giving it root permissions? Cause I'm seeing permission denied errors in there. | 09:51 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: me? I have used sudo chmod 777 /dev/rfcomm0 | 09:53 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: but when I did that, it says the resurce is busy | 09:54 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: and I needed to replug the bluetooth adapter | 09:54 |

| cappe | ok | 10:09 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: now the only problem is there isn't any more bluetooth devices what supports serial communication. can I somehow "tell" to an android phone to accept serial communication from bluetooth? and connect to that with monodevelop? | 10:10 |
| utfans05_work | I have no clue at that point. :-P | 10:10 |
| utfans05_work | I saw the permissions error and knew how to fix that part. | 10:10 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: because the device I will use is not in here now....but I'm badly curious | 10:10 |
| gregtom6 | utfans05_work: okay :/ | 10:11 |
| utfans05_work | sorry. | 10:13 |
| utfans05_work | at least I got you a step closer | 10:13 |
| VBet | http://bet-tips.cogia.net/?ref=1810 | 10:15 |
| cappe | got the facebook chat program pidgin working instead of empathy | 10:16 |
| cappe | would you say a chroot environment is more or less secure than jail? | 10:18 |
| rypervenche | cappe: I suppose it depends on whether or not you're using a program to create the jail. I believe that in theory they should be about the same, security-wise. | 10:35 |

| square__ | I have an nvidia gtx460 glh graphics hard.. which driver do I need to install through aptitude? it displays many different available ones, like nvidia-173, 304, 319 etc.? | 11:41 |
| utfans05_work | square__: typically you would install the highest number. but you need to check on nvidias website to see which one is the one that fully supports you card. | 11:42 |
| square__ | when I run lspci -v | perl -ne '/VGA/../^$/ and /VGA|Kern/ and print' I get this information: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) and Kernel driver in use: nouveau | 11:43 |
| square__ | utfans05_work, on the website I only found 343.22, but this is not available in aptitude | 11:44 |
| square__ | the highest is 331 | 11:44 |
| utfans05_work | Then it's not in the repo yet. | 11:44 |
| utfans05_work | I'd recommend checking out the 331 driver to see if it supports your card. | 11:44 |
| square__ | okay, thank you :) | 11:45 |
| utfans05_work | square__: I just looked and it looks like 331 does support your card | 11:46 |
| square__ | great, thank you utfans05_work | 11:46 |

| theperfectpunk | grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. | 12:13 |
| theperfectpunk | when setting up windows boot | 12:13 |
| theperfectpunk | any ideas on fixing this | 12:13 |
| theperfectpunk | tried boot repair it says "GPT Detected. Please create an EFI partition ..." | 12:14 |
| theperfectpunk | i have a /boot/efi partition on /dev/sdb1 | 12:14 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: let's start at the beginning, what do you have and what do you want to have? :) | 12:14 |
| theperfectpunk | i have ubuntu 14.04 LTS which i just installed erasing Xbuntu 14.04 LTS | 12:15 |
| daftykins | right | 12:15 |
| theperfectpunk | i am not able to dual boot Windows 7, but update-grub doesn't set it up | 12:15 |
| theperfectpunk | *because | 12:15 |
| daftykins | was Windows 7 already on the same disk in a dualboot with xubuntu? | 12:15 |
| theperfectpunk | nope windows 7 is on a different disk | 12:16 |
| daftykins | ok, that explains why you refer to sdb | 12:16 |
| theperfectpunk | /dev/sda : Windows 7 | 12:16 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: which OS are you in now? | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | theperfectpunk, for future reference: reinstalling was completely unnecessary. you already had core ubuntu. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then purge xubuntu would give you ubuntu | 12:16 |
| theperfectpunk | /dev/sdb : Ubuntu | 12:16 |
| theperfectpunk | cfhowlett: thank you, will keep that in mind | 12:16 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 12:17 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: ok can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" then share the link here please | 12:17 |

| theperfectpunk | if relevent | 12:20 |
| larrylamsy | exit | 12:20 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: i'm pretty sure you've got Windows installed in legacy mode and ubuntu installed in EFI, so they're mixed up right now | 12:20 |
| daftykins | i don't know if you can resolve that configuration | 12:21 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: so i need to install ubuntu in legacy mode? | 12:21 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: that would've been the easiest method of making things work, yeah | 12:22 |
| karab44 | hello | 12:22 |
| theperfectpunk | m gonna try this | 12:22 |
| theperfectpunk | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 12:22 |
| daftykins | theperfectpunk: yep, make sure it's booting to legacy mode and you should be set. you're going to need to nuke the ubuntu disk and change it from GPT though | 12:23 |
| karab44 | why is that, when I have one window (nauty file browser opened) when I click unity bar for that window it openes me another one. Only then I can select focus on that window by clicking in the bar again. | 12:23 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykinds: the documentation says i can convert Ubuntu into legacy mode | 12:23 |
| theperfectpunk | without erasing anything | 12:24 |
| theperfectpunk | i think | 12:24 |
| theperfectpunk | well i'll try and comeback | 12:24 |
| karab44 | it referes only to files | 12:24 |
| karab44 | to open any other app in unity bar I have to use middlem button | 12:25 |
| karab44 | this is a bug | 12:25 |
| karab44 | it happenes regularly | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | karab44, so ... you did a bug report, right? | 12:29 |

| jimi | linux overload | 12:35 |
| theperfectpunk | but there is no package named linux | 12:35 |

| ubottu | Package linux does not exist in trusty | 12:35 |

| theperfectpunk | is it the linux kernel? | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | theperfectpunk, I'm very hesitant to guess. | 12:36 |
| daftykins | lets refer back to the original page | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | theperfectpunk, I'm pretty sure it's grub-pc | 12:37 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: i changed boot to legacy | 12:37 |
| theperfectpunk | cfhowlett: boot-repair said bios_grub flag | 12:38 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: ran update-grub, but windows still not detected | 12:38 |
| daftykins | mmm, well your method wasn't my advised one | 12:38 |
| daftykins | so i don't know what to say | 12:38 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykinds: tried running boot-repair | 12:38 |
| theperfectpunk | said to execute this command "sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux" | 12:39 |
| daftykins | yes i read your messages, i am able to scroll :) | 12:39 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: what do you advice i should replace linux with | 12:39 |
| daftykins | try linux-image-generic | 12:39 |
| daftykins | !info linux-image-generic | 12:40 |
| ubottu | linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13.0.35.42 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 28 kB | 12:40 |
| daftykins | !info linux-generic | 12:40 |

| daftykins | theperfectpunk: scratch that, linux-generic looks better | 12:40 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: which partition do you suggest i install grub-pc? | 12:40 |
| theperfectpunk | the one with ubuntu or Windows? | 12:40 |
| daftykins | i think you have a great potential to trash both OSs right now | 12:41 |
| daftykins | with all this guessing | 12:41 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: got no choice :-) | 12:42 |
| daftykins | well you do, but you chose not to go with my approach | 12:42 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: don't wanna download all updates again | 12:42 |
| daftykins | but it would be sda, which should be the Windows disk | 12:42 |
| theperfectpunk | daftykins: got a 1mbps connection | 12:42 |
| theperfectpunk | takes ~3 hours | 12:42 |
| theperfectpunk | 2 hours | 12:42 |

| asakapab0i | jimi | !unix | 12:51 |
| b0xa | err i just recieved a notification that my version is no longer supported, upgrade to 14 | 12:51 |
| asakapab0i | meh | 12:51 |
| b0xa | runs the updater, downloads a bunch of stuff | 12:51 |
| b0xa | then throws an error | 12:51 |
| b0xa | i'll have to run it again to get the error :/ | 12:51 |
| asakapab0i | !unix | 12:51 |
| ubottu | UNIX is an operating system created in the '70s, which has many direct derivates and inspired systems like Minix and !Linux. Most "UNIX-style" systems try to somewhat adhere to the POSIX standard. | 12:51 |
| b0xa | something about 3rd party applications not compatible iirc | 12:52 |
| jimi | what is xplico,apachez? | 12:52 |
| daftykins | DigitalCYUK: it was discontinued | 12:52 |
| daftykins | b0xa: ah, yes you will need to remove all packages and PPAs you've added, upgrade, then add them back in if you need them | 12:53 |
| DigitalCYUK | ok, thanks daftykins - I guess I'll have to install it via apt post-install | 12:53 |
| daftykins | b0xa: whoops that was badly worded. you need to remove any packages from third party PPAs that you have added since install | 12:53 |
| daftykins | DigitalCYUK: yep, or the mini.iso might be useful for you, not sure | 12:54 |
| b0xa | erm | 12:56 |
| b0xa | erm got a bunch though | 12:56 |
| b0xa | im a ubuntu/nix noob | 12:57 |
| b0xa | how can i tell what packages they are? | 12:57 |
| daftykins | discover the PPAs you added first | 12:57 |
| b0xa | can i generate a list? | 12:57 |
| daftykins | b0xa: open a terminal and look in /etc/apt/sources.list / /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 12:58 |
| b0xa | for example, i just added a ppa for latest wine, that would need to be removed before i can upgrade? | 12:58 |

| b0xa | daftykins: ? | 13:02 |
| daftykins | !ppa-purge | b0xa | 13:02 |
| ubottu | b0xa: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 13:02 |
| daftykins | b0xa: i'm a little concerned that most of that has 'raring' in the name, when you said you're on 13.10 - can you confirm with "cat /etc/issue" ? | 13:03 |
| daftykins | ah i see a few with saucy | 13:03 |

| daftykins | so yeah you've got.... a tonne of junk on there to deal with b0xa - it might be easier to just back up and reinstall | 13:04 |
| b0xa | daftykins: i dont really need any of it except wine and chrome | 13:05 |
| b0xa | i need to keep everything else the same, have web dev stack etc setup | 13:05 |
| daftykins | b0xa: right but you'd have to remove everything to do the upgrade | 13:05 |
| jimi | b0xa: ok | 13:05 |
| daftykins | oh dear - you should not have used a non-LTS release | 13:05 |
| b0xa | ive just done wine, provided i dont have to redownload the few gig that just came down im happy :p | 13:06 |
| b0xa | chrome meh | 13:06 |
| b0xa | oh and git | 13:06 |
| b0xa | they are just top toolbar widgets mostly | 13:07 |
| daftykins | just make sure you backup regardless | 13:07 |

| b0xa | ive never been able to get them installed | 13:08 |

| b0xa | dual intel / nvidia caper | 13:11 |
| b0xa | yeah | 13:11 |
| daftykins | yes, optimus tech - you need to be using bumblebee or nvidia-prime | 13:11 |

| CiSense | daftykins, thanks ... is it ok to use a USB and add it to an exisiting 32bit 14.04? | 13:13 |
| daftykins | CiSense: if you used a program like YUMI from pendrivelinux.com you can put as many ISOs on a single flash drive as you have space for | 13:13 |
| CiSense | daftykins, with a separate partition for each one right? | 13:14 |
| daftykins | CiSense: on the flash drive? nope no need | 13:15 |
| CiSense | on the HDD | 13:15 |
| daftykins | yeah, definitely | 13:15 |

| daftykins | VictorBjelkholm: i would always keep OS X around, even if in a tiny partition | 13:43 |
| VictorBjelkholm | daftykins, what's the reason for that? | 13:43 |
| daftykins | VictorBjelkholm: depends on the age of the Mac really but firmware updates and so on do come out | 13:43 |
| pengyq | v | 13:44 |

| VictorBjelkholm | daftykins, it's around one year old model. Everything was working before with my installation so not sure I need any firmware updates | 13:44 |
| sexyboy | victory | 13:44 |
| NotTurbid | Could I also ask if there is anyway to check to see if my OS is installed properly? | 13:44 |

| Vity | Installing from USB drive with persistant storage doesn't work, but it does from Live. WAT | 14:01 |
| Vity | Has anyone observed that or is it just me? | 14:02 |
| digi0ps | anyone help me with this -> i have dell monitor. ubuntu doesnt detect it. It says it as a Unknown display because of which i dont get the correct resolution of my monitor. mine is 1366x768(16:2) but i get only 1024x720(4:3) only. | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, persistent storage means run from that storage. it's no longer installation media, i.e. no longer a live CD | 14:02 |
| digi0ps | pls | 14:02 |
| asakapab0i | Why is it everybody don't use google these days. | 14:03 |
| Vity | cfhowlett: Surely it's then misleading to have an option to install Ubuntu | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | asakapab0i, ask your ubuntu question. | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, on a persistent installed USB, still has "install ubuntu"??? | 14:04 |
| Vity | Yup | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, ... but it DOESN'T install, right? | 14:05 |
| Vity | I would imagine no. | 14:05 |
| Vity | It runs outta space | 14:05 |
| Vity | But then, if I give it a big enough storage, I think it might. Ubuntu-ception | 14:06 |
| asakapab0i | lusers | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, wait, you've got it on a sub and you're trying to install to ... USB? | 14:06 |
| Vity | Ha nope. I'm not | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | asakapab0i, play elsewhere or focus on the channel topic... ubuntu support | 14:06 |
| Vity | I'm trying to install to hard drive | 14:06 |
| Vity | I put target of installation my hard drive. | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, so ... WHAT ran out of space? HDD? USB? not understanding here. | 14:07 |
| Vity | I think it's the persistent storage on the USB | 14:07 |
| thomedy | hey if there was a place to develop in from a crowdsourcing prospective would that be something you guys would be interested.... not a sales pitch... im building it right now and im wondering if im full of myself or if it has value | 14:08 |
| Vity | Making it into a live USB worked anyway | 14:08 |
| cfhowlett | thomedy, I think something like that already exists ... | 14:08 |
| Vity | I'm sure it said somewhere that you can still install to hard drive from persistent USB | 14:08 |
| thomedy | really what is it | 14:08 |
| thomedy | if you know | 14:09 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, eh ... no expert, but I would be surprised if true ... | 14:09 |
| cfhowlett | thomedy, wait 1 | 14:09 |
| Vity | Well I thought persistent just gives you some storage to a normal liveCD installation and still keep all the functions of the live CD | 14:10 |
| Vity | Especially that while running the installer, you still select the location of where you want to install etc | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, not as I understand it. persistent install = a regular installation that runs from a USB | 14:10 |
| Vity | Installation to a flash drive is different from persistent storage | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | Vity, so make an installation USB and save some room on it for file storage. Same same or different? | 14:12 |
| Vity | I suppose that works, yeah | 14:13 |

| victorbjelkholm | Ok, soon I give up. It doesn't seems to be possible to have only Ubuntu installed on a Macbook... | 14:17 |
| daftykins | victorbjelkholm: Two things i have heard over the years: 1) macs don't like not seeing an HFS+ partition not being present (i think) and 2) lots of people refer to installing rEFInd i think it is called? | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | victorbjelkholm, refind is the tool you will need and LOTS of successful installations are on macbooks and mac airs | 14:18 |
| victorbjelkholm | daftykins: yeah, refind is used to be able to dual boot mac osx and ubuntu. But I don't care much for osx anymore. Plus, doesn't seems to be possible to install refind from Ubuntu but it most be installed from mac osx.... | 14:18 |
| victorbjelkholm | this is a mess. Probably the worst mistake I ever did was to buy a Macbook | 14:19 |
| victorbjelkholm | cfhowlett: yeah, dual booting is no issue to install but doesn't seems to be possible to run Ubuntu only | 14:19 |
| daftykins | it's pretty apparent that you're essentially modifying the device to do what it wasn't intended for, so the purchase wasn't without risk | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | victorbjelkholm, I don't see how it a solo OS would not work but I've only hackintoshed thus far. | 14:20 |
| daftykins | hackintosh has nothing to do with the above scenario | 14:20 |
| victorbjelkholm | cfhowlett: me neither but can't get it to work no matter what I d | 14:20 |
| victorbjelkholm | do | 14:20 |
| daftykins | pretty sure the Apple EFI just does not like not seeing an HFS+ volume | 14:20 |
| daftykins | what if you made a tiny one for fun? to test | 14:20 |
| victorbjelkholm | daftykins: so adding a small 10mb HFS+ would be worth a try? | 14:21 |
| victorbjelkholm | yeah, all right | 14:21 |
| daftykins | i see no harm :) | 14:21 |
| daftykins | i'm totally guessing, but then what do you have to lose besides time? | 14:21 |
| victorbjelkholm | hmm, reading about Ubuntu fucking up the mbr after install gives me some hints, gonna try reinstalling grub with nomodeset | 14:21 |
| greek | Hi. Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS. DNS issue. I've installed dnsmasq, I see resolv.conf just sets 127.0.0.1 as nameserver. I googled this, discovered known issues with NetworkManager and dnsmasq, except my 12.04 installation doesn't have NetworkManager. Any ideas? | 14:21 |
| daftykins | please keep it family friendly in here, victorbjelkholm | 14:22 |
| victorbjelkholm | daftykins: oh, sorry about that... | 14:22 |

| daftykins | welcome | 14:24 |
| Alanbitsch | i have ubuntu 13.04 and i want to upgrade to 14.04, i already have the .iso. Is it wrong to have the backup and the boot on the same flash disk? | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | Alanbitsch, not wrong. not recommended. | 14:25 |
| daftykins | Alanbitsch: what do you mean by backup and boot? | 14:25 |
| sandman13 | what is the KDE version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? with and without using PPAs? | 14:25 |
| Alanbitsch | daftykins: backup is the | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | sandman13, kubuntu. | 14:26 |
| sandman13 | sorry | 14:26 |
| greek | daftykins, I renamed resolvconf to resolvconf-backup and hardcoded a namserver in my resolv.conf file, however on restart it resets resolv.conf to an empty file | 14:26 |
| Alanbitsch | daftykins: backup is the /home | 14:26 |
| Alanbitsch | daftykins: and with boot i mean the bootable usb | 14:27 |
| daftykins | your system boots from a flash drive? 0o | 14:27 |
| Alanbitsch | daftykins: i have no cd/dvd reader/burner | 14:27 |
| daftykins | greek: so you do something different to how i say and expect the same result? :) | 14:27 |
| Alanbitsch | :( | 14:28 |
| greek | daftykins, I figured renaming it would be the same as removing it, my bad, but curious why that isn't the case | 14:28 |
| greek | daftykins, do you mean purge? | 14:28 |
| greek | or just rm -r | 14:28 |
| daftykins | it's a package. | 14:28 |
| daftykins | apt-get remove resolvconf | 14:28 |
| greek | ah ok I see what you mean (still learning all the terms) | 14:28 |
| daftykins | greek: have a read of this, it will shed some light on the overall situation - https://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 14:29 |

| daftykins | 13.04 is EOL, no point keeping it | 15:27 |
| lubuntu_ | Hi | 15:27 |
| cfhowlett | Alanbitsch, it's your system so your choice. Makes no sense to me, though. | 15:27 |
| lubuntu_ | I installed Lubuntu but im missing network indicator! | 15:27 |
| rdi | hai | 15:27 |
| daftykins | lubuntu_: try installing nm-applet | 15:27 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: i want to know how to keep both of them | 15:28 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: is there a way? | 15:28 |
| cfhowlett | Alanbitsch, install 14.04 "next to" the current OS | 15:28 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: how? | 15:28 |
| === MasterPiece is now known as _Xamin_ | ||
| cfhowlett | Alanbitsch, download 14.04. use startup disk creator to make a usb. boot the usb. | 15:29 |
| lubuntu_ | daftykins, does Lubuntu have network indicator by default? | 15:29 |
| daftykins | lubuntu_: no idea, never used Lubuntu | 15:29 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: im making that | 15:29 |
| daftykins | lubuntu_: don't think so though | 15:30 |
| lubuntu_ | Anyone know? | 15:30 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett:but it lets me only 2 options | 15:30 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: format the Hdd | 15:30 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: or create partitions | 15:31 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: and i dont know about the partitions | 15:31 |
| cfhowlett | Alanbitsch, you have a step to "do something else" ... | 15:31 |
| daftykins | lubuntu_: it should be pretty obvious if you're already in it | 15:31 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: ill try | 15:32 |
| Alanbitsch | cfhowlett: back in 5 min | 15:32 |
| lubuntu_ | daftykins, i am but i installed Lubuntu minimal installation | 15:32 |

| bonyhoax | Hi! I have a laptop HP ProBook 430 G2. On this laptop, you have a few keyboard keys (power, wifi, sound) which are backlit. I'm looking for a way to turn keyboard light off. Do you know how to do that? | 15:42 |
| bonyhoax | On a sony vaio, the solution was sudo su -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/kbd_backlight". But I can't find the equivalent for my laptop. | 15:43 |
| daftykins | bonyhoax: they're all different, have you found anything via google? | 15:45 |
| bonyhoax | daftykins, I tried, but it gave me nothing unfortunately. | 15:46 |
| bonyhoax | daftykins, The keyboard of my laptop is not really backlit. Apart from the 3 keys mentionned, the rest of the keyboard can't be switched on. So Im not even sure there's an option for it. | 15:48 |
| daftykins | bonyhoax: oh i see, so it's more controls that are backlit. no, even less of an idea i'm afraid | 15:52 |

| daftykins | eutheria: any of that useful? ^ | 16:09 |
| eutheria | well yes libgtest-dev, but those are just the headers | 16:09 |

| scarleo | Hi, just upgraded my VPS to 14.04 LTS from 12.04 but something happened with apparmor, I suddenly have 2 confined apache processes in enforce mode but no actual profiles | 16:16 |
| daftykins | scarleo: what does your provider say? | 16:17 |
| scarleo | so apache wont load properly, it runs but woth lots of errors: profile="/usr/sbin/apache2//null-43" | 16:17 |
| scarleo | well, I am my provider :) | 16:17 |
| scarleo | this is from aa-status: 2 profiles are in enforce mode. /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2//DEFAULT_URI /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2//HANDLING_UNTRUSTED_INPUT | 16:18 |
| VincentD | I've just installed Kubuntu 14.04 on an old laptop. Although the resolution was fine while running from the live CD, it is now locked at 640x480 (only resolution return by xrandr). The card is '[SiS] 771/671 PCIE'. I tried the xorg.conf recommended online, but it gives multiple small screens with lines through them. | 16:20 |
| eutheria | weird it is like libgtest0 got forgotten about after 10.04 | 16:20 |
| scarleo | I tried purge apparmor but cant get rid of the error-messages in syslog | 16:20 |
| eutheria | but the header files were kept | 16:20 |
| eutheria | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=libgtest&searchon=names | 16:20 |
| daftykins | VincentD: you're unlikely to get anything with SiS, it's all outdated and rubbish. you'd be better off with a lighter weight DE such as xubuntu or lubuntu | 16:20 |
| daftykins | VincentD: read your X log to see which driver is in use, it may well be on VESA | 16:21 |

| kevindf | hello everyone, i'm using ubuntu and recently have some missing programs icons | 16:47 |
| kevindf | like for example terminal | 16:47 |
| kevindf | how can i solve this | 16:47 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, what do you mean ? | 16:47 |
| kevindf | like when i search up terminal the icon is missing | 16:47 |
| Sojaki | kedindf Maybe you just need to install an icon package, like tango-icon-theme | 16:47 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, be more specific, press alt + f2 and type in there "gnome-terminal" | 16:47 |
| tharkun | hawa: without the initial command you isued those lines are not relevant. Please paste the command. | 16:48 |
| === scheibnerr_ is now known as EOBeav | ||
| kevindf | if i type gnome terminal and open it, in my launcher it shows as a icon with question mark | 16:48 |

| kevindf | i try install icon package | 16:49 |
| hawa | tharkun, i am trying to generate images for different resolution using this command: https://github.com/tlvince/phonegap-icon-splash-generator/blob/master/phonegap-icon-splash-generator.sh | 16:50 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, what else problems do you get ? | 16:52 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, if more visible errors occur I would highly suggest you re-install the os. | 16:53 |
| samthewildone | Problems tend to have a daisy chain effect. | 16:53 |
| mozzy | hello everyone, is there something like susestudio for ubuntu? So that i can costimize and choose whatever i want for ubuntu? | 16:53 |
| kevindf | well i installed the numix theme and have unity | 16:53 |
| kevindf | so i guess it screwed up my icons | 16:53 |
| kevindf | or atleast some of them | 16:54 |
| tharkun | hawa: That is a script you are calling, but how are you calling it? | 16:54 |
| samthewildone | Well I have numix square / circle and don't have that problem. | 16:54 |
| SchrodingersScat | hawa: so does the file ic_launcher-web.png exist? | 16:55 |
| kevindf | i will try purge unity and reinstall it | 16:55 |
| kevindf | might work that way | 16:55 |
| bazhang | mozzy, just the mini iso which you can build up from | 16:55 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, try that. | 16:55 |
| bazhang | !mini | mozzy | 16:55 |
| ubottu | mozzy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:55 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, did you happen to restart x server upon install of icons ? | 16:55 |
| KOSTAS_GR | Καλησπέρα | 16:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | hawa: I can only assume that you were calling that file to be converted, since imagemagick is looking for it | 16:56 |

| kevindf | no i did not | 16:56 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, Do this after you purge. Use a default icon set, if the gnome-terminal does not show they you have a real problem. | 16:57 |
| kevindf | ok, i will try that | 16:57 |
| kevindf | thank you | 16:57 |
| samthewildone | kevindf, try restarting x server first, | 16:57 |
| kevindf | ok | 16:57 |
| mozzy | Ok, i know for it, but can i somehow edit the minimum so i dont have to install everything again and again.. For example i want to install minumum lxde version with one suite of office (not libre) and some other apps that are needed, without doing this again and again on every pc... So i tought if there is something like the ubuntu builder that worked before, to help me do that | 16:58 |

| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: do you mean the file browser? | 17:22 |
| k1l | yecril71pl: what? you should never run a browser as superuser | 17:22 |
| jakesyl | he means file browser | 17:23 |
| yecril71pl | So how am I supposed to read syslog? | 17:23 |
| yecril71pl | I mean Web browser. | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | k1l: running nautilus as root can be usefil | 17:23 |
| k1l | yecril71pl: that is a bad bad idead to run webbrowser as superuser | 17:23 |
| jakesyl | woops, anyway, what do i input for adress, netmask, and gateway values? | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: why are you running a web browser as super user at all!!? | 17:23 |
| yecril71pl | How else can I read syslog? | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: what does it gain you to run it as root? | 17:24 |
| jakesyl | vim, nano | 17:24 |
| tharkun | hawa: yw | 17:24 |
| k1l | yecril71pl: cat | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: wjy don't you run it as user? | 17:24 |
| yecril71pl | Because I cannot read syslog as myself. | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: its how it is supposed to be ran and is significantly more secure | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: so, again, why run a web browser as root? | 17:25 |
| yecril71pl | I understand that; but how can I read it in a window? | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: if you understand, why keep doing it? | 17:26 |

| ActionParsnip | yecril71pl: then use pastebinit. The errors will be in /var/log | 17:27 |

| yecril71pl | gedit does not have a refresh button either | 17:28 |
| yecril71pl | the thing with syslog is that you need to refresh the display | 17:28 |

| BlueBaron | The desktop is running XP fairly well, but I opted to change the OS - Maybe it will run better on Linux. I have an Ubuntu Studio DVD nearby so I installed that but it was laggy and choppy. | 19:17 |

| smart_developer | SchrodingersScat : I see how what you suggested "ln -s /path/to/ssd/directory /var/run/my_application_cache_directory/" may work (to make /var/run/myapplication_cache_directory/ just be a soft/symbolic link), | 19:43 |
| smart_developer | SchrodingersScat : However, how do I even make sure that /path/to/ssd/directory/ is created on my SSD in the first place ? | 19:44 |
| bekks | smart_developer: which application in particular? /var/run is not supposed to fold cache contents, thats what /tmp and /var/tmp are for. | 19:45 |
| smart_developer | Actually, /var/run/my_application_cache_directory/ should be /var/cache/my_application_cache_directory/ instead. | 19:46 |
| smart_developer | bekks : Sorry for the typo. | 19:47 |
| bekks | smart_developer: ah :) | 19:47 |
| smart_developer | Either way, I would like /var/cache/my_application_cache_directory/ to be on the SSD. | 19:47 |
| bekks | smart_developer: So create it there :) | 19:47 |
| smart_developer | And currently, "df /var/cache/my_application_cache_directory/" yields | 19:48 |

| smart_developer | /dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv 324445140 2505796 305458476 1% / | 19:48 |
| smart_developer | And I'm not sure how to decipher that. | 19:48 |
| chuy__ | SchrodingersScat: PIANOBAR is the best | 19:48 |
| smart_developer | bekks : The original question was how to make /var/cache/my_application_cache_directory/ be on the SSD ... not sure what you want me to do if your suggestion is "so create it there" | 19:49 |
| smart_developer | XD | 19:49 |
| raspberrypifan | bazhang: any hope. | 19:49 |
| bekks | smart_developer: mkdir /path/to/ssd/your/desired/directory; ln -s /path/to/ssd/your/desired/directory /var/cache/my_application_cache_directory/ | 19:50 |
| bazhang | raspberrypifan, you used an outside guide to manually install that deb and now apt-get is not working? | 19:51 |
| smart_developer | bekks : The problem is, I'm not sure what /path/to/ssd/ needs to be. | 19:51 |

| raspberrypifan | but i cant do anything at all | 19:51 |

| smart_developer | but I'm not sure if that's the actual path/directory where I need to create my application's directory. | 19:52 |
| bazhang | raspberrypifan, what command did you use to install that deb | 19:52 |
| raspberrypifan | i used software update | 19:52 |
| raspberrypifan | or tried too | 19:52 |
| daftykins | Sven_vB: someone might be feeling charitable, but technically we don't support third party software in here | 19:52 |
| smart_developer | bekks - What's the command to find that out? | 19:52 |
| bekks | smart_developer: "mount" | 19:52 |
| Sven_vB | daftykins, so is it a problem with their deb repo? | 19:52 |
| daftykins | Sven_vB: looks like there's some key issues there sure, but that's beyond my experience sadly | 19:53 |
| smart_developer | bekks : ... It doesn't seem to say anything about sdb or sdb1 | 19:53 |
| smart_developer | It says that /dev/sda1 is on ext4 | 19:53 |
| bekks | smart_developer: So you have to mount it before you can use it. | 19:53 |
| smart_developer | but I don't seem any info about sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, ... etc. | 19:53 |

| Sven_vB | smart_developer, do you know the concept of mount points? | 19:55 |
| bekks | !mount > smart_developer | 19:56 |
| ubottu | smart_developer, please see my private message | 19:56 |
| smart_developer | Sven_vB : Could you explain? Thanks. | 19:56 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, short version of what ubottu's link will tell you: in /dev/ you have file-like entries that allow to communicate with your devices on a low technical level. if you want to use a file system on them, you'll have to appoint a directory where to "mount" the device's file system. this will transform the directory into a mount point, and when you look into it, you will not see its old content but instead, it will seem to contain | 20:00 |
| Sven_vB | the files from your device. | 20:00 |
| smart_developer | bekks : What if instead of creating a soft/symbolic link out of /var/cache/my_application_directory/ could I instead just move the particular contents of that directory (/var/cache/my_application_directory/) over to the SSD (but still have it be called /var/cache/my_application_directory/ )? | 20:01 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, you'll need a mountpoint as the target of your symlink. | 20:02 |
| smart_developer | Sven_vB : What I'm trying to look into is whether we can avoid soft/symbolic links completely. | 20:02 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, you probably can avoid symlinks by using bind-mounts | 20:02 |
| smart_developer | Sven_vB : Basically, to see whether we can "genuinely" make it so that /var/cache/my_application_directory/ is now located on the SSD. | 20:02 |
| Hobbyboy | So I read that to make a deb package you need to compile the program from source. Is it possible to make a deb package by using precompiled files? | 20:03 |
| bekks | smart_developer: you could bind-mount your cache directory on the SSD to /var/cache/my_application_directory/ | 20:04 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, you'll have to make / be the SSD for that, e.g. by booting from the SSD. or you can make any parent dir the mount point of your SSD. but i think you're looking in opposite direction. you probably want my_app_dir to "contain" (represent) the root dir of your SSD's file system. | 20:05 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, subdirectories do not need to be on the same device as their parent directory, if that's what you're tripping over. | 20:06 |
| smart_developer | Sven_vB , bekks : Ok, it's helpful to know that subdirectories do not need to be on the same device as the parent directory. | 20:07 |
| smart_developer | So can I just delete /var/cache/my_application_directory that's on the non-SSD | 20:07 |
| smart_developer | And then how would I make it so that it (/var/cache/my_application_directory/ ) is newly created on the SSD ? | 20:07 |
| Sven_vB | smart_developer, do you already see your SSD's files on any path? | 20:07 |
| smart_developer | without having /var/ or /var/cache/ on the SSD. | 20:08 |
| bekks | smart_developer: you dont need /var or /var/cache on SSD. | 20:08 |
| bekks | smart_developer: Did you take a look at the instructions ubottu gave you in a query? | 20:08 |
| smart_developer | bekks : It just explains what 'mount' is. | 20:10 |
| bekks | smart_developer: Then you might want to refer to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 20:10 |

| quatrox | ramsoe: if you meant the console, then it depends on whether or not you are using frame buffer | 20:26 |
| ramose | I wanted to know how to install busybox with ntpd function | 20:26 |
| guntbert | quatrox: you seem to be mixing up who asked what | 20:26 |
| ramose | YES @guntbert | 20:27 |
| Ben64 | ramose: busybox doesn't have ntpd | 20:27 |

| guntbert | ramose: no need for the @ - nicks are sufficient to alert the person | 20:28 |
| ramose | ok | 20:28 |
| Ben64 | ramose: why does it need to be busybox | 20:28 |
| Ben64 | ntpd is in ubuntu | 20:28 |

| ramose | For some specific reason I need it | 20:29 |
| Ben64 | highly doubtful, anyway it doesn't exist | 20:29 |
| smart_developer | bekks : In my situation, what if I used a hard link in the place of the soft/symbolic link ? | 20:30 |

| Guest45760 | or only with a different theme | 20:31 |
| smart_developer | bekks : Just a little bit more clarification about the ln -s (symbolic link command). | 20:33 |
| smart_developer | How do I make it so that an *existing* /var/cache/my_application_dir/ itself is the link to the directory on the SSD? | 20:33 |
| smart_developer | I was able to mount what I need just fine. | 20:33 |
| tharkun | ramose: sorry I believe the package name is ntp so you can feel free to install it using regular tool of choice. | 20:34 |
| smart_developer | bekks : Basically, the command that you suggested earlier just creates a soft/symbolic link inside the /var/cache/my_application_dir/ | 20:34 |
| smart_developer | ln -s /path/to/SSD/dir /var/cache/my_application_dir | 20:34 |
| smart_developer | I'm not sure that's what I needed. | 20:34 |
| bekks | smart_developer: because /var/cache/my_application_dir/ already exists. | 20:34 |
| ramose | tharkun I need ntpd that comes with busybox | 20:35 |
| smart_developer | bekks : So I would have to delete the directory, and then re-create it from the start as a soft/symbolic link ? | 20:35 |
| ramose | not the regular one | 20:35 |
| smart_developer | That's the way to make it work ? | 20:35 |
| Ben64 | ramose: it doesn't exist | 20:35 |
| tharkun | ramose: Think a bit on what you are saying. ntpd does not need a shell to work. IT IS A BLOODY DAEMON | 20:36 |
| ramose | Ben64 didn't u go through the thread? | 20:36 |
| Ben64 | ramose: didn't you try "busybox ntpd" and it told you it didn't exist? | 20:37 |
| tharkun | ramose: That between your ears is called a Brain. Once in a while it is used to THINK. | 20:37 |
| ramose | well I think I made a mistake asking for help | 20:37 |
| Ben64 | ramose: you're asking for something that doesn't exist. we're not magicians. use the ntpd that is in the repositories, i promise that it works great | 20:38 |
| tharkun | ramose: ntp provides ntpd that is the daemon you are looking for time sincronization is out of the scope of a shell like bash or busybox. | 20:39 |
| tharkun | Try installing ntp and do your tests. Believe me they will work | 20:39 |
| smart_developer | bekks : If you could confirm this : "So I would have to delete the directory, and then re-create it from the start as a soft/symbolic link ?" | 20:40 |
| smart_developer | bekks : That would be great; and I think I can go from there. | 20:40 |

| crlcan81 | I don't encrypt my hard drive. | 20:42 |
| crlcan81 | You talking about the external? | 20:42 |
| daftykins | yes, sometimes externals come with silly features built in | 20:42 |

| crlcan81 | Ok | 20:43 |
| daftykins | well you'd be a good consumer by researching it on the manufacturer's website | 20:43 |
| Ben64 | its not even something i considered when getting my externals | 20:43 |

| crlcan81 | Is it ok if I link an amazon search page? | 20:44 |
| crlcan81 | That's how I found what I might buy. | 20:44 |
| daftykins | no, find the manufacturer original | 20:44 |
| tharkun | crlcan81: Yes it will work if it uses either fat32 or ntfs both shity options of filesystems for a modern linux distribution. | 20:44 |
| daftykins | tharkun: keep the language family friendly thanks | 20:44 |
| daftykins | and file system has no relevance, drives can be formatted | 20:44 |

| smart_developer | tharkun : But the "mount" command reportedly only one of the entries. | 20:53 |
| UBuxuBU | this server was hacked all should change password | 20:53 |
| smart_developer | tharkun : Thus are you sure the "mount" command is getting its information from the /etc/fstab file ? | 20:53 |
| crlcan81 | The other one, protronix manufacturer site is hosted by a place that sells the stuff too, their only site that lets you do anything besides just look at the pictures of the products is the sell site, jacobsparts. | 20:53 |
| smart_developer | tharkun : Because then, it should have reported both entries, or even just the first one. | 20:54 |
| smart_developer | tharkun : I think it reported the information for the second copy. | 20:54 |
| smart_developer | I did, however, do a umount for the first entry. | 20:54 |
| smart_developer | But updated the /etc/fstab file much later, after having typed the "mount" command to check the status a few times. | 20:55 |
| smart_developer | tharkun : Do you know what went on there ? | 20:55 |
| crlcan81 | I can't find a proper manufacturer site for the protronix external hard drive, may I post the sale site that hosts the manufacturer's site? | 20:55 |
| crlcan81 | Or just move on to one that does have a manufacturer's site? | 20:56 |
| hiphopnerd | hi | 20:58 |
| k1l | smart_developer: "mount" without -a does only say what is actually mounted. you need "mount -a" to reread the fstab | 20:58 |
| hiphopnerd | i know it's friday | 20:58 |

| Soupr | Hi I have recently installed ubuntu, impressed that it collected all the drivers however my wifi is patchy and i want to install the correct driver, I have an ASUS N150 wifi card and i could only find tar-gz to install.. previously all my installing has been done through sudo apt-get install xyz how do I install from tar-gz> | 20:59 |
| crlcan81 | it's like a zip file | 21:00 |
| Soupr | yeah i saw, I unpacked it and tried to find (rather ignorantly) a setup file | 21:01 |
| Soupr | but I was unable, loads of code files | 21:01 |
| crlcan81 | God, that's never fun. | 21:01 |
| crlcan81 | No 'start.sh'? | 21:01 |
| crlcan81 | or install.sh? | 21:01 |
| Soupr | all the 'guides' i have seen its create an install or whatnot | 21:01 |
| Soupr | ill have a look | 21:01 |
| raspberrypifan | whats the best backup system for ubuntu | 21:01 |
| crlcan81 | there should be some kind of script that starts the install for you in there somewhere, no clue what else it'd be called. | 21:01 |
| Soupr | not that I can see | 21:02 |
| crlcan81 | I'm not that well versed in installing from scripts, I'm just figuring it out myself. | 21:02 |
| Soupr | makefile? | 21:02 |
| Soupr | run wpa? | 21:02 |
| Soupr | and then some folders that go nowhere, and another archive | 21:02 |
| crlcan81 | That's beyond my kin, can someone else help him out? | 21:02 |
| Soupr | I was also looking into installing my GPU driver but wanted to get the wifi done first as i thought it would be easier haha | 21:02 |
| k1l | !backup | raspberrypifan | 21:02 |
| ubottu | raspberrypifan: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:02 |
| crlcan81 | Soupr, if it's anything like mine, the GPU driver will be super easy. | 21:03 |
| crlcan81 | All I had to do was go to third party drivers. | 21:04 |
| crlcan81 | It loaded the closed source available driver as an option. | 21:04 |
| Soupr | thing is, it all works.. graphics is fine and the wifi does have something installed | 21:04 |
| Soupr | so maybe its correct and its just not quite as solid as windows | 21:04 |
| crlcan81 | It might be that you need the closed source/more current drivers? | 21:04 |
| Soupr | thats what I attempted to download | 21:04 |
| k1l | Soupr: see what "lspci" line is your wifi | 21:04 |
| Soupr | and then i installed kde and didn't like it which somewhat broke unity | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | Ohh god.. | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | How did you install kde? | 21:05 |
| Soupr | yeah I dunno.. unity is okay | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | Did you do 'kubuntu'? | 21:05 |
| Soupr | yeah | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | ..god no | 21:05 |
| Soupr | ah | 21:05 |
| Soupr | did i done goof? | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | You don't want that, that grabs ALL the kubuntu files | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | and can overwrite some of your Ubuntu unity files. | 21:05 |
| Soupr | yeah it now launches as kubuntu | 21:05 |
| Soupr | but im still using unity | 21:05 |
| crlcan81 | I use cairo dock myself, I don't like unity. | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | Cairo dock runs acustom gnome session that uses less ram then unity. | 21:06 |
| Soupr | i probably did because everybody was hating on unity and i didn't like the look of gnome 3 | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | Why I use cairo dock. | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | It's really customizable. | 21:06 |
| Soupr | ill look into it | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | Only ONE thing I don't like on it. | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | The weather app is in Celcious. | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | I don't know how to convert from celcious. | 21:06 |
| Soupr | i was getting my feet wet with ubuntu then moving onto debian or fedora | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | It's a french program though. | 21:06 |
| Soupr | im from the UK so that would be a posative | 21:06 |
| Soupr | positive* | 21:06 |
| crlcan81 | I'd say if you're going to get your feet wet with Ubuntu move onto Debian | 21:07 |
| crlcan81 | Cause Ubuntu is based onDebian. | 21:07 |
| Soupr | already? :( | 21:07 |
| k1l | guys | 21:07 |
| Soupr | it took me 3 hours to get ubuntu working | 21:07 |
| crlcan81 | No I'm saying IF you move on. | 21:07 |

| crlcan81 | If you do move on past Ubuntu. | 21:07 |
| k1l | Soupr: do you want to actually solve an issue? | 21:07 |
| Soupr | yes | 21:07 |
| crlcan81 | Ignore me then. | 21:07 |
| crlcan81 | I'm just rambling. | 21:07 |
| Soupr | or not? | 21:08 |
| k1l | crlcan81: you are free to leave to #debian then. | 21:08 |
| Soupr | but i have ubuntu | 21:08 |
| crlcan81 | I couldn't get debian to work right on my machine. | 21:08 |
| crlcan81 | I prefer Ubuntu cause it's never steered me wrong. | 21:08 |

| l2ksolkov | Didn't notice he left. Oh well. | 21:10 |

| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, what? | 21:11 |

| === muntedmess is now known as hhaatdogwatah | ||
| andreas_ | o ha | 21:14 |
| UBuxuBU | i have a question, i have noticed that ubuntu will allow me to downlad a file and burn it to image disk even while in my VM yet no other distro ive tried can do it, i am wonder what codec or driver is allowing this in ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: what do you mean by download and burn to disk? | 21:15 |
| k1l | UBuxuBU: a file doesnt need codecs to be burned | 21:15 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU: i assume it is the VM settings itself. | 21:15 |
| UBuxuBU | and thet holds true even when i use transmission and brasero in another distro | 21:15 |
| UBuxuBU | well i use the same VM in this lil experiment | 21:15 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: You download a file in the VM, and then? | 21:16 |
| UBuxuBU | same VM same disk burning software same torrent client | 21:16 |
| eeee | ah ok | 21:16 |
| UBuxuBU | i am saying that while in ubuntu 1404, i can torrent a file and burn it to image...yet NO other dostro can do it that i have tried even when i use brasero and transmission | 21:17 |
| UBuxuBU | so i am wondering what additional software is in ubuntu that noone else seems to have | 21:17 |
| daftykins | no idea why you would use a physical optical drive to burn media with a VM 0o | 21:17 |
| UBuxuBU | it just is handy not to have to put the file on a flash drive and move to to a real host machine | 21:18 |
| k1l | UBuxuBU: so you mean the guest additions? | 21:18 |
| UBuxuBU | its grea tthat ubuntu can do this but i wish i knew how ubuntu does it | 21:18 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: why not put it in a shared folder, and burn in the host? | 21:18 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU: what VM software? | 21:18 |
| UBuxuBU | why ? because ubuntu lets me burn it immediately why add steps to a simple function | 21:19 |
| UBuxuBU | VMware | 21:19 |
| UBuxuBU | to answer you 12k | 21:19 |
| l2ksolkov | Are VMware Tools installed? | 21:19 |
| UBuxuBU | well regardless its the same for all dostros | 21:20 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: different distros have different compilation's for the same version of a given package | 21:20 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: i don't think it has anything to do with Ubuntu (the os) itself | 21:20 |
| UBuxuBU | same host machine same VM same torrent client (transmission) same disk burner (brasero)....yet only ubuntu can burn them straight away from within the Vm | 21:20 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU: Why not just download it onto the host in the first place? | 21:21 |
| UBuxuBU | deepin cant lubuntu cant fedora cant mint cant i tried a ton of them | 21:21 |
| UBuxuBU | i realize i can do that 12k thats not my question but thanks for looking | 21:21 |
| UBuxuBU | even kubuntu cannot do it | 21:22 |
| UBuxuBU | and many more its weird its like ubuntu has a codec or something noone else uses | 21:22 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: i'd suggest putting it in a shared folder. You'd do a simple copy, paste, and you'd be done. | 21:22 |
| UBuxuBU | well the fact is i dont actually need them all to burn disks i just cant figure out why it happens | 21:23 |
| l2ksolkov | eeee | 21:23 |
| UBuxuBU | as you have all said my host can do it and so can ubuntu | 21:23 |
| UBuxuBU | just seems very odd | 21:23 |
| k1l | UBuxuBU: stop please. take a breath and give exact details what file, what burning program etc etc. | 21:23 |
| l2ksolkov | eeee: I think what he's trying to say is no other distro can burn to a physical disc other than ubuntu. | 21:23 |
| l2ksolkov | in a VM, from what he's tried and his hardware at least. | 21:24 |
| eeee | l2ksolkov: i get what he's saying :) | 21:24 |
| l2ksolkov | eeee: Still haven't had my coffee yet :) | 21:24 |
| eeee | l2ksolkov: I already told him, it *might* be the compilation options that ubuntu uses for the given package | 21:24 |
| UBuxuBU | i just use brasero at default eeee | 21:26 |
| UBuxuBU | ok i see what you mean eeee, you are saying the setting in brasero are different from distro to distro? | 21:26 |
| eeee | UBuxuBU: no, i think it's the compilation options for VMware. | 21:27 |
| eeee | It might be compiled with an extra feature or so. | 21:27 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU: you still have not made clear whether you have installed VMWare tools or not. | 21:27 |
| UBuxuBU | i must admit i just went thru that install at defualt and i dont actually recall that part 12k but i will say all the distros resdie in the very same VM under the same conditions | 21:28 |
| UBuxuBU | reside* | 21:29 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU: Did you use easy install? | 21:29 |
| UBuxuBU | YES i saw that | 21:29 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, then it likely installed VMWare Tools unless you removed the virtual floppy disc during install. | 21:30 |
| eeee | I think i misunderstood here, i thought UBuxuBU meant that using Ubuntu as the host, he can burn in a VM, whereas in other distro's he can't. | 21:30 |
| UBuxuBU | no i use w8 as host and all the linux distros are in the VMware | 21:31 |
| UBuxuBU | but transmission and brasero will aloow me to torrent and burn in the VM environment and the others cant do it | 21:31 |
| UBuxuBU | ubuntu lets me do it and the others cant see the dvd | 21:32 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, i think it is VMWare tools. | 21:32 |
| UBuxuBU | ok | 21:32 |
| chro | when I execute "psql" I get this error message "psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory" | 21:32 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: its some sort of guest additions | 21:32 |
| UBuxuBU | ok seems odd that ONLY ubuntu can do it | 21:33 |
| persisto | Hi, I have asked this question in the #ubuntu-gnome channel multiple time to no avail so I am trying here. I just switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu Gnome. I asked this question earlier but I got no response so I am back. I want to ensure that when I lock my computer the lock screen does not display the username of the logged in user. To be clear I am not talking about the initial login screen. | 21:33 |
| persisto | I have already changed the settings so that login requires both username and password to login. But once I am logged in and lock the machine and then unlock it. It shows my username. I want it to re-prompt for the username. Any help wil be much appreciated. Thank you. | 21:33 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: well, dont blame ubuntu for that :) | 21:33 |
| UBuxuBU | was hoping someone here would say "just do apt-get etc..." | 21:33 |
| UBuxuBU | no im not blaming ubuntu as i stated ubuntu is the ONLY one that can do it | 21:34 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: we dont know if that will work on mint and fedora :) | 21:34 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, it is VMWare tools, i just checked and it adds disc-burning abilities to some Guest OS's. | 21:34 |
| UBuxuBU | it wont work on minr or fedora tried them too only ubuntu | 21:35 |
| UBuxuBU | tried about a dozen of them | 21:35 |
| UBuxuBU | thats why i asked if ubuntu had some codec or pkg | 21:35 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: we cant tell you what to do on mint and fedora. ask their support or file a bug on their bugtracker | 21:35 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: that question got already answered. | 21:36 |
| UBuxuBU | i know but you may know what additional software ubuntu is using that makes this work | 21:36 |
| UBuxuBU | but now im told it something in the VM | 21:36 |
| k1l_ | UBuxuBU: please read the answers | 21:36 |
| UBuxuBU | i did thanks | 21:36 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, VMWare did not specify what Guest OS's it adds that capability to but it does work in Ubuntu. | 21:37 |
| UBuxuBU | like i said it works fantastic with ubuntu im trying to see why only ubuntu can do it and what additional feature ubuntu has that the rest lack | 21:38 |
| l2ksolkov | UBuxuBU, like i said, it is VMWare tools adding the ability for Ubuntu to burn to a CD/DVD/BD-Disc. | 21:41 |

| Dyrcona | I've been trying for the past three hours to get the \ key to work on my wife's laptop. | 21:46 |
| Dyrcona | I have gotten it to work in the console by dumping the key map, editing it, and reloading it. | 21:46 |
| asdfgh | somehow when i upgraded to 14.04.1 i lost the ability to right click in file manager and 'run' python apps - how do i get this back? file is set executable, and python is installed | 21:47 |
| Dyrcona | I managed to make that permanent by editing /etc/default/keyboard and copying my keymap file over /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz.... | 21:47 |
| Dyrcona | I think the latter did the trick. | 21:47 |
| Dyrcona | Now, with X, I am stuck. | 21:47 |

| cruz_u | Alright so basically, I installed Ubuntu on one of my spare computers to try to attempt to learn how to use it. I would like to have access to my network sharedrive on it as well. For some reason, I am unable to successfully map the drive | 22:08 |
| cruz_u | I have installed SMB, but I get a timeout error when I try to connect to server with either IP address, or computer name. I also cannot see any other devices under "Browse" network | 22:08 |
| _deXter_ | Quick poll guys: Chrome v/s Chromium. Pros/cons? (Besides being closed/open source) | 22:09 |
| daftykins | no polls in here, _deXter_ | 22:09 |
| cruz_u | A friend in another channel had me do the smbclient --user=user%pass-L //sharelocation | 22:09 |
| k1l_ | _deXter_: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome next! | 22:09 |
| cruz_u | and I just get an error "protocol negotiation failed: ERRDOS:ERRnomem | 22:10 |
| _deXter_ | k1l_, Thanks. | 22:10 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: so to clarify, your test Ubuntu system is mounting a Windows file share on another host? | 22:10 |
| cruz_u | daftykins, yes | 22:10 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: do you have smbfs and smbclient installed? | 22:10 |
| cruz_u | I have a Windows based server that have with open permissions, no password on the share | 22:10 |
| Basketball | how can i use a youtube video as a simulated webcam | 22:10 |
| cruz_u | daftykins, yes, both cifs and smbfs | 22:10 |
| cruz_u | and smb client itself | 22:10 |
| k1l_ | cruz_u: did you try the easy solution to try it with the file-browser nautilus? | 22:11 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: have you test connected using smbclient? it's a handy command line connection utility that'll let you 'ls' in the share | 22:11 |
| cruz_u | k1l_, I believe one of my friends who was helping me had me try that earlier | 22:11 |
| cruz_u | daftykins, maybe, but I'm not 100% sure on that | 22:12 |
| cruz_u | I've only been testing linux for about 3-4 hours | 22:12 |
| cruz_u | so I've been doing a lot of googling, but nothing seems to make a difference here | 22:12 |
| cruz_u | If I go to file explorer >browse network >windows network | 22:13 |
| cruz_u | there is nothing there | 22:13 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: you would know, heh - you'd have run it in a terminal and seen a directory listing of the files in he share | 22:13 |
| daftykins | *the share | 22:13 |
| cruz_u | there should be 4-5 other computers in there, from what I am being told | 22:13 |
| cruz_u | daftykins, alright, what do I do to run it, it's worth a shot | 22:14 |
| Steve_Jobs | can I quit the desktop evironment (gnome or unity) to save cpu and memory usage while not at the computer? | 22:15 |
| Steve_Jobs | I would still like to ssh -X to the system remotely and run some gui app | 22:16 |
| Steve_Jobs | is that possible? | 22:16 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: open a terminal and run "smbclient //192.168.x.x/sharename" | 22:16 |
| Dyrcona | I am about to chuck unity for something that actually works. | 22:16 |
| daftykins | Steve_Jobs: why not do it over the SSH session and if it causes issues, start it again | 22:16 |
| sudormrf_ | I am having an issue with handbrake-gtk and subtitles. Specifically I cannot deselect ‘burned in’. Anyone in here good with handbrake? | 22:16 |
| cruz_u | same error | 22:16 |
| cruz_u | protocol negotiation failed: ERRDOS:ERRnomem | 22:17 |
| chrisss123456 | hey guys i got a sound problem. anyone help? | 22:17 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: what OS on the host? | 22:17 |
| Dyrcona | eeee: How do I get the xmodmap to persist across logins on 14.04? I've tried .xsessionrc, .xprofile, and Startup Applications. I really don't feel like hacking the stuff under /etc/X11. | 22:17 |
| cruz_u | daftykins, windows 7 | 22:17 |
| Steve_Jobs | daftykins: what do you mean? I'll need to quit the desktop env first | 22:17 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: are they in a homegroup? | 22:18 |
| cruz_u | yes | 22:18 |
| cruz_u | is that the problem? | 22:18 |
| daftykins | no experience with homegroups, i wouldn't be surprised if it was breaking things | 22:18 |
| daftykins | i use workgroups and user+pass auth | 22:18 |
| cruz_u | heh | 22:18 |
| cruz_u | the problem is | 22:18 |
| cruz_u | I don't use logon passwords for any of my computers here | 22:19 |
| eeee | Dyrcona: i don't know of the proper way, i guess you could add it to /etc/profile | 22:19 |
| cruz_u | so I can't use user and pass auth | 22:19 |
| cruz_u | so what I do | 22:19 |
| daftykins | guest mode huh, ugh | 22:19 |
| cruz_u | is just map the network drive | 22:19 |
| daftykins | well that should also be pretty easy, but yeah, as i say no idea with homegroups | 22:19 |
| daftykins | they're a waste of time in my opinion | 22:19 |
| cruz_u | I use flexraid for parity and for pooling | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | and then share the drive | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | and then just map the share | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | on other computers | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | hmmm | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | I mean I can take them out of the homegroup | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | but I have no idea how to reconfigure things to still work this way | 22:20 |
| cruz_u | since I don't use a domain | 22:20 |
| daftykins | not using a domain is a good thing | 22:20 |
| daftykins | just try it out | 22:21 |
| daftykins | at your own risk of course | 22:21 |
| cruz_u | let's see | 22:21 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: you're definitely using IP address yes? not trying to use computer name | 22:22 |
| cruz_u | I've tried both | 22:22 |
| cruz_u | and in this specific case, the IP | 22:22 |
| cruz_u | I can ping it just fine | 22:22 |
| cruz_u | with IP and name | 22:22 |
| cruz_u | s/and/or | 22:23 |
| daftykins | cruz_u: you can be comparing Windows logs at the same time of course | 22:24 |
| vfw | I have Ubuntu 12.04 and notice that /etc/rc.local doesn't seem to run. What could be the reason for that? | 22:24 |
| vfw | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 394 Sep 20 17:13 /etc/rc.local | 22:25 |
| cruz_u | ok | 22:26 |
| cruz_u | so I took it out of homegroup | 22:26 |
| cruz_u | let's see if it works | 22:26 |
| cruz_u | nooe | 22:26 |
| cruz_u | nope | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | same error | 22:27 |
| daftykins | it'd need a restart | 22:27 |
| daftykins | and you are looking at logs on both ends yes? | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | hang on | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | problem is they both use the same monitor | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | but only 1 cable | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | because teamviewer is not cooperating | 22:27 |
| daftykins | RDP? ;) | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | sadly | 22:27 |
| daftykins | teamviewer for local LAN O_O | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | well | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | I lost my license key for 7 pro | 22:27 |
| cruz_u | so I only have 7 home premium | 22:28 |
| cruz_u | for my server | 22:28 |
| cruz_u | :P | 22:28 |
| daftykins | just give me the executive summary | 22:28 |
| cruz_u | so no RDP | 22:28 |
| daftykins | mmk | 22:28 |
| cruz_u | I need to get another copy of pro for RDP | 22:28 |
| cruz_u | dammit teamviewer y u no | 22:28 |

| cruz_ubuntu | welp | 22:32 |
| cruz_ubuntu | as it turns out, my graphics card didn't like hot swapping the monitor | 22:32 |
| cruz_ubuntu | so rebooted the server, let's try again | 22:32 |
| postmodern | how do i remove a PPA and any packages installed from it? | 22:33 |
| postmodern | i installed the ffmpeg PPA, and now I can't seem to play DVDs | 22:33 |
| spikeb | postmodern, install and use ppa-purge | 22:33 |
| k1l_ | !ppa-purge | 22:34 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 22:34 |
| k1l_ | postmodern: see this ^ | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | well | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | I tried again, and it's not asking for root's password? | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | this is new | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | oh | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | hang on | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | holy shit | 22:34 |
| cruz_ubuntu | that did it | 22:34 |
| daftykins | cruz_ubuntu: careful on the language please | 22:36 |
| cruz_ubuntu | daftykins, thanks, I never would have thought homegroup was breaking it | 22:36 |

| postmodern | spikeb, k1l_ worked like a charm! thanks | 22:36 |
| cruz_ubuntu | let me see | 22:36 |

| cruz_ubuntu | I can't group nicks on freenode with ones on rizon | 22:36 |

| spikeb | postmodern, you're welcome | 22:39 |
| cruz_ubuntu | Sorry was sort of talking to myself, I don't use freenode much, I'm typically on rizon so I was confused when I couldn't authenticate for my vhost | 22:39 |
| cruz_ubuntu | daftykins, thanks for the help | 22:40 |
| cruz_ubuntu | I appreciate it :) | 22:40 |
| daftykins | no problemo | 22:40 |

| mbeierl | I just did an upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04.1. Now none of my dovecot mailboxes contain any emails. The new dovecot created ~/mail and all my old emails are in ~/Maildir. No amount of googling is leading to how to get my old emails back into the ~/mail directory. Does anyone have the ability to help me? | 22:44 |
| Dyrcona | meh... nothing works.... I'll just have to tell her to run xmodmap by hand until I figure out how to fix it with xkb. | 22:45 |

| KodeKaKoala | anyone know how to get from 1.0.1f to 1.0.1g without much hassle (openssl upgrade) | 23:05 |
| reisio | KodeKaKoala: what for | 23:05 |
| rww | !heartbleed | 23:06 |
| ubottu | A fix for the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (2014-0076 & 0160) has been pushed to the Ubuntu repositories. See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ and http://heartbleed.com/ for more information. | 23:06 |
| rww | tl;dr: go get the version listed on that site. if you're on 14.04, you already have patched openssl | 23:06 |
| rww | (and doing normal security updates will get you to a patched version) | 23:06 |
| rww | and if you want openssl upgrades for another reason... don't. Ubuntu doesn't do new major versions of packages after release to improve stability, and backports security fixes. | 23:07 |
| reisio | was a much bigger problem for proprietary OSes that can only do updates on Tuesdays... if they know how | 23:07 |
| Freeaqingme | Hi folks, I'm using this command to zero an encrypted disk. The disk is capped at 250 IOPS however. Is it possible to speed it up some how (that is, do more bytes with the same number of iops)? pv -tpreb /dev/zero | dd of=/dev/mapper/backup2 bs=128M | 23:08 |
| Basketball | how can i use a youtube video as a simulated webcam | 23:08 |
| reisio | Basketball: v4l2loopback? | 23:10 |
| reisio | Freeaqingme: why're you zeroing? | 23:11 |
| Freeaqingme | reisio, encrypted disk. Call it paranoid, but then you can't see from the outside how much space has been used | 23:11 |
| reisio | why would someone trying to get into an encrypted volume care how much space is used? | 23:12 |
| rww | erm, zeroing will do the opposite of what you want, then | 23:12 |
| rww | you want urandom | 23:12 |
| reisio | pointless exercise no matter what you're filling it with, don't bother | 23:12 |
| rww | also, dd if=/dev/urandom of=whatever bs=1M | 23:12 |
| reisio | no :p | 23:12 |
| Freeaqingme | rwp, the device I'm writing to is the luks device. So all zeros are encrypted before written to disk | 23:12 |
| rww | Freeaqingme: ah, right | 23:13 |
| * reisio headdesks | 23:13 | |
| rww | reisio: I tend to agree, but there are legitimate use cases for it, which is why Ubuntu's installer offers it and debian-installer defaults to doing it | 23:13 |
| reisio | no there aren't | 23:13 |
| rwp | rwp? | 23:13 |
| reisio | rwp | 23:13 |
| thys | hi | 23:13 |
| reisio | hi thys | 23:13 |
| rww | rwp: sorry, sometimes people can't use tab :\ | 23:13 |
| alaa | q | 23:14 |
| alaa | quit | 23:14 |
| rwp | Typos happen. | 23:14 |
| rww | alaa: /quit | 23:14 |
| * rwp goes back into the background | 23:14 | |
| KodeKaKoala | do the standard tribuffers have max sizes? what happens if they start to exceed? | 23:14 |
| reisio | Freeaqingme: this will help: /set completion_sort 1 | 23:16 |
| Freeaqingme | reisio, the point of encrypting it is that nobody can know anything about the volume. Not that I really intend to hide anything specifically though. Being able to see the amount of disk space used qualifies as 'something s/o can know about the volume' | 23:16 |
| reisio | Freeaqingme: I don't see how it qualifies as that | 23:16 |
| reisio | how is it not a complete waste of time? | 23:16 |
| reisio | the zeroing, not the encryption in general | 23:16 |
| Freeaqingme | at the current speed I'm doing 1.04 MB/s, and it is a complete waste of time | 23:17 |
| Freeaqingme | as in; advantages do not outweigh disadvantages | 23:17 |
| reisio | Freeaqingme: I don't see how it's not a complete waste of time at any speed | 23:17 |
| reisio | except 0 seconds, perhaps | 23:17 |
| Freeaqingme | as such I was hoping your infinite wisdom could provide a way to do it much faster ;) | 23:17 |
| rww | Freeaqingme: I guess this is why you should do urandom outside the LUKS device instead of zero inside it? | 23:17 |
| jhutchins | KodeKaKoala: If you're looking for the security patch, ubutu's version numbers don't track the official openssl versions. The current versions were patched with a minor version update. | 23:17 |
| reisio | it's just there's no point in doing it at all... | 23:17 |
| KodeKaKoala | im on mint and seem to be stuck with 1.0.1f | 23:18 |
| rww | !mintsupport | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:18 |
| rww | we already gave you the answer twice, but *shrug* | 23:19 |
| Freeaqingme | rww, I dont think that would really help. What I'm running into is the max number of iops my device supports. Writing those zeros to an unencrypted device wont result in much less iops, I suppose? | 23:19 |
| TTN | hey um. all my users can read all home folders :o ideas on what to check? | 23:20 |

| mbeierl | and upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04. My keyboard layout got messed up somehow and I cannot find how to set the keyboard layout anymore. Settings -> Keyboard just presents me with option to change repeat delay and speed, not layout | 23:52 |
| austin_ | Bluetooth on ubuntu 14.04 will not find devices nor can other devices find it. hcitool dev shows mac address any ideas? | 23:53 |
| TTN | mbeierl, theres a button on the keyboard settings window. bottom left. change the layout there | 23:54 |
| TTN | its labeled "text entry" | 23:55 |

| reisio | persisto: no, but many people can | 23:56 |
| persisto | okay | 23:56 |
| mbeierl | TTN, that just takes me to a panel to change input methods, not they keyboard layout itself... | 23:56 |
| persisto | well maybe many people can help me out then. | 23:56 |
| persisto | Hi, I have asked this question in the #ubuntu-gnome channel multiple time to no avail so I am trying here. I just switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu Gnome. I asked this question earlier but I got no response so I am back. I want to ensure that when I lock my computer the lock screen does not display the username of the logged in user. To be clear I am not talking about the initial login | 23:56 |
| persisto | screen. I have already changed the settings so that login requires both username and password to login. But once I am logged in and lock the machine and then unlock it. It shows my username. I want it to re-prompt for the username. Any help wil be much appreciated. Thank you. | 23:56 |
| persisto | Posted some time ago | 23:57 |
| TTN | mbeierl, I think I see.. ok. well I was able to change my layout by clicking the plus, adding a new layout, and removing the previous one | 23:57 |
| mbeierl | TNN OH! I'll try that, thanks for the tip | 23:57 |
| Dyrcona | mbeierl: Welcome to the club, I've had fun with key mappings all afternoon. | 23:57 |
| TTN | mbeierl, make sure you switch to the new layout, otherwise it still wont work xD | 23:58 |
| reisio | persisto: first I'd switch to xscreensaver over GNOME's locker | 23:58 |
| reisio | persisto: then check its docs | 23:58 |
