[00:02] i need help with a Broadcom BCM4401, computer can see it but no matter what i've tried it is still unclaimed [00:02] i've tried several solutions from the forum for that same ethernet but none worked [00:02] Hi, how can I execute a program from the terminal with just "executable_name" instead of having to type "./executable_name"? [00:02] bluesnow: put it into /usr/local/bin/ [00:03] bluesnow: or make a shell alias (help alias) [00:03] ok, thanks [00:03] or ${million_other_things} [00:03] persisto: My guess is that's not a current feature of the lock screen and it would require some code to be written. [00:03] darkmasterT, I'd google the heck out of it. its pretty specific, with too many details for me to look into atm.. [00:04] i googled it so much my internet history is full of ubuntu forums and other sites, all say the same thing [00:06] Thanks for your help guys [00:06] purge the bcmwl, install some linux-firmware, modprobe this and that, and then the thread is marked SOLVED, but some reason solution that worked for others isnt working for me [00:08] it was a fresh install before that and since i did so many things i reinstalled to get rid of all the changes [00:12] hello [00:12] when two socket communicate,then one shut down,the other socket will be always readable and get 0 bytes,,is that correct?. [00:13] hui: #friendly-coders [00:14] linux c [00:15] I am learning and reading the advanced programming in the unix environment [00:16] hui: then #friendly-coders is a more appropriate spot for you :) [00:16] what is friendly-coders [00:16] lol i thought you had in mind "eh lets do a hashtag" [00:16] a channel [00:16] for coders [00:16] who are friendly [00:16] hui, he means join the channel [00:17] as opposed to ##C, where you will learn to regret having been born [00:17] ok i know.. [00:17] hello [00:17] hi [00:18] I've been following this guide to get postfix installed and right up until it says to verify using telnet, i'm not seeing the line that says AUTH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [00:19] I've repeated the guide several times but I can't see where I'm going wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction please? [00:19] Hmm, anyone have any idea why running https://gist.github.com/hichris1234/ab6221e299e2daf8fb7c as root works, but as my user spits out errors like "Sigaction failed at number 65 (Operation not permitted)"? [00:25] hello [00:26] dave__: hello yegenim [00:26] dave__: eskiden buralar acayip memeli kaynardi simdi kimse yok [00:26] Okay. Why do files save twice, one with a ~ and one without?? PLEASE HELP [00:26] Ubuntu 14.04 [00:27] Ranieri_: what in problem bebiskom [00:27] hichris123: um... there is no sig handle for 65? I see it going up to 64 as max: kill -l [00:27] HelloMello: ? [00:27] is la is in ne [00:28] Ranieri_: files such as gedit will save a backup (the prior version to the current) as file~ [00:28] Ranieri_: problem ? [00:29] I mean programs such as gedit. [00:29] Hi folks; I'd like to do some policy based routing on Debian (two NICs, each with their own route table). Is there any config file to specify that in, or should I just use rc.local?. [00:30] Freeaqingme: in Ubuntu there is /etc/ufw for that. Maybe check in #debian for Debian specifics? [00:30] mbeierl: Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. [00:31] mbeierl, oh, oops. I actually am on Ubuntu. Will look into that ufw thingie. tnx [00:31] Ranieri_: so if you do a "diff file file~" you should see the result of your last edit/save cycle [00:31] Freeaqingme: ah. /etc/ufw is a directory [00:31] Freeaqingme: Too complicated for me, please explain: policy based routing, route table, and rc.local [00:32] mbeierl: I'll check that out right now. [00:32] Freeaqingme: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW for some starters on setting up things [00:33] Freeaqingme: but basically, you can put your iptables commands there - if that is what you were going for... [00:33] mbeierl, I'm actually looking for the first time at ufw. Is it possible to use ufw while using hte plain old iptables-persistent stuff? [00:35] Freeaqingme: Take a look at /etc/ufw/before.rules. IIRC, I think that takes a format of iptables-save style syntax [00:35] hmz, dont look like it. well, I'll figure something out. tnx [00:37] Freeaqingme: what sort of iptables syntax were you using? [00:37] I mean you can do iptables-restore < file in rc.local... [00:38] mbeierl, absolutely. I'll just have to play with some things for a bit [00:39] I may also opt to use NFT [00:41] I have a bug I want to report with Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr. [00:42] Ranieri_, I'd suggest you do that in the bug tracker [00:42] nft? [00:42] mbeierl, http://netfilter.org/projects/nftables/ [00:42] Freeaqingme: Give me the URL to the bug tracker please. [00:42] it's in the kernel as of 3.13 iirc [00:42] Ranieri_, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=ubuntu+bug+tracker [00:42] first result [00:43] Freeaqingme: Thanks :D [00:43] Hello [00:44] 'lo L8-0151 [00:44] i have the latest ubuntu iso, how do i burn a bootabale disc? i currently have backtrack 5 installed. [00:44] any libvirt wizards here? I need to clone a guest, but it has a partition attached to it, and I don't want to clone that. I want to clone the desk but ignore the attached partition. Can I do that? [00:45] hello [00:45] *desk = guest [00:45] ah netfilter. gotcha [00:45] looking for the proper place to ask about grub issue after upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.04.4 [00:46] mbeierl, iptables is also netfilter, sot hat doesnt mean much. But they gave everything a huge revamp, also on kernel level. If you use the iptables command on >=3.13 it's merely a legacy interface that bridges to nft [00:47] L8-0151: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto . [00:47] gdi2k_: is the partition "attached" as in a separate disk file, or you mean you want to copy the contents of (say) partition 1 from a disk file, but not partition 2 in the same file? [00:49] mbeierl, it is actually literally a partition on the host system, which is separate from the root disk file of the guest. the attached partition is actually /home on the guest system [00:49] gdi2k_: so how is that referenced in the guest? If you remove the reference (/etc/fstab, etc) and just clone the base disk, does that work? [00:50] mbeierl, it is referenced in the xml file of the guest, and also in fstab of course. I am thinking I could remove the reference from the xml file, clone the disk, then add it back. Would that work>? [00:50] Hmm, looks like you need certain privileges in order to use sigaction? [00:51] It works as root but not as my own user. [00:53] gdi2k_: yes it should. You can also (iirc) copy the disk and then create a new vm descriptor (xml file) for just that new disk. [00:53] if for some reason removing the disk ref from the xml doesn't work (which I can't imagine that it would not) [00:54] * mbeierl has been using OpenStack over top of KVM/libvirt for a little too long to remember the basics === ejb is now known as Guest5255 [00:55] mbeierl, thanks, will give it a shot [00:57] Greetings. I am struggling to run ubuntu from a bootable usb on a mac. Is this a good place to ask for help? [00:57] ubuntunoobneedhe: yup [00:57] sorry lost connection. [00:58] i am looking for help on fixing my grub since i updated from ubuntu 14.04.1 lts to 14.04.4 lts [00:58] VBguy: yes? [00:58] VBguy, just ask. perhaps someone can help you ;) [00:58] gdi2k_: np. enjoy :) [00:59] Thanks, so where should I start? I've follow this step by step guide from ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx). When I restart in in boot, and click the usb (it reads Windows), a black screen pops up that reads "No Bootable Device Found - Insert Boot disc and press any key". [00:59] reisio: I upgraded and I lost my grub and cannot get boot repair to fix the issue and it is above my knowledge level [01:00] what makes you think you lost grub [01:00] what's the best compression archive for media files ? [01:00] samthewildone: moving target [01:00] reisio I attempted to use boot repair, but that did not work [01:00] I've got about 2GBs of media. [01:01] samthewildone: how small do you need it? [01:01] samthewildone: define best? How much quality are you willing to lose? [01:01] small enough to store on a cloud. [01:01] samthewildone: https://code.google.com/p/zopfli/ 5% better they say [01:01] samthewildone: there's no size requirement for that [01:01] In configuring my USB in Disk Utility, should I partition it as a "GUID Partition Table" or "Master Boot Record". As well, what format should the USB be in? "MS-DOS(FAT)" , "Mac OS Extended" , "ExFAT"? [01:01] reisio, I have a limit of cloud storage. [01:01] reisio, trying to maximize every input I get. [01:02] samthewildone: you do realize that media files (video and audio) are already compressed, correct? [01:02] mbeierl, I'm willing to lose err about 15 - 25% video quality, === eeeeee is now known as eeee [01:02] mbeierl, I want to put these files into a archive. [01:02] samthewildone: is it all video? [01:02] reisio here is the url that boot repair created http://paste.ubuntu.com/8391792/ [01:03] reisio, a collection of videos. [01:03] VBguy: what makes you think you lost grub? [01:03] samthewildone: then you need to determine what video compression was used and re-encode in either the same one with a lower framerate or quality, or find a better compression for the type of video in the file [01:03] reisio, some ranging from 15mb - 150mb. [01:03] samthewildone: I wouldn't bother, transcoding can take forever [01:03] if you need more hosting space, google drive starts at 15GB IIRC [01:03] samthewildone: see, gzip and the like cannot compress video as it is already in its most dense form. [01:04] reisio, Im using G [01:04] reisio: I don't thik I lost it, I think that it did not install correctly during the upgrade. I have all the boot files on sdb [01:04] samthewildone: G? [01:04] Google = G [01:04] reisio: I agree, but without transcoding there is no way to shrink the file size below its current, no? [01:04] VBguy: I can tell you think that, but I want to know _why_ you think that [01:05] mbeierl: sure there is [01:05] but you probably lose quality [01:05] oh without [01:05] not of any significance, indeed, no [01:05] reisio: ok, then we are saying the same thing: either waste time transcoding, or get more storage... [01:06] mbeierl: sounds like we are indeed [01:06] reisio I only think that because I am not the most knowledgeable in Ubuntu. Every time I try to start the computer I get grub rescue prompt. [01:06] or use vlc and play anything [01:06] if that's what you said :p [01:07] VBguy: okay, it might be easiest to fix it from a live OS [01:08] reisio, i am currently using the boot repair live disk as we speak [01:09] Boot repair usually works [01:09] boot repair tries to put it on sda and not sdb [01:10] I'm not sure why boot repair would work if the other software the devs had run also failed :p [01:10] s/also // [01:12] Hi, where can I find the script that runs when I run `sudo service restart`? I'd like to read it to see exactly what's happening. [01:13] The docs for the service in question mention sending arguments with the TERM signal, and I need to know what those arguments are when I issue a `service ... restart`. [01:16] pormo [01:17] So my question then is how do i properly fix my grub or boot? [01:20] VBguy, I would download supergrub a tiny booter boot to ubuntu and run commands from there. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ couple other ways a chroot is one. === Usafbioman is now known as VBguy_mobile [01:23] i will try that. i have set up my mobile irc to be in here so i can continue with you guys if i have trouble. === brian is now known as Guest71719 [01:32] VBguy_mobile: We can try and boot sdb3 from the grub prompt ... what have you got installed onto sdb1 ? [01:33] I set up sdb the way that Ubuntu install files suggested [01:34] VBguy_mobile: But, what is installed ontp sdb1 ?? as 14.04 is installed on sdb3 . [01:35] Is this Ubuntu Development Forum? [01:35] I need some answers [01:35] ramsudharsan: Try #ubuntu+1 .

[01:40] coffeeguy2, no reason no to [01:40] coffeeguy2: it's an idea [01:41] i'd like to use linux straight and only, but my usb and ip security cameras are an issue [01:41] they are? [01:41] i thought so [01:41] that and the grub error i get when i dual boot [01:41] I'd think not [01:41] grub errors are usually easy to fix [01:42] i've got an install i really don't wanna lose, it's windows but it's all i've got for everything [01:42] no particular reason you'd lose it [01:44] hmm, i could use windows backup and do a bit more reading and give it a try [01:44] Bashing-om i have the live cd booted up. Going to Chech sdb files [01:45] * OerHeks wonders how you upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.04.4 [01:46] I thought that was my jump [01:48] Is there any way to disable the check and 60 second delay if networking has been set up correctly? [01:48] OerHeks, one doesn't just upgrade to 14.04.4 as the current point release is 14.04.1 [01:48] the delay that's performed on boot [01:50] nvm. /etc/init/failsafe.conf it is [01:51] hi [01:52] For some reason I'm not able to format my USB.

[01:57] I currently opened the grub.cfg file to look at it [01:59] Closed it as i did not notice anything. So how can i get it to go to sdb3? [02:02] VBguy_mobile: Seeing as how you are booted to the liveDVD, let's see if we can (RE-)install grub. -> sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt , sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb , sudo umount /mnt . Reboot at this time and see if you now boot into the install with bios set to boot the 2nd hard drive.

Set in bios to boot that 2nd hard drive, so bios can hand off to the boot code that is located in the MBR of that 2nd hard drive, so it can boot the operating system. Clear as mud ?

Just trying to get the bios to cooperate === Guest87485 is now known as romtamcloud [02:30] Bashing-om for some reason my bios will not let me choose Bettendorf my two SATA drives [02:31] VBguy_mobile: I do not know what I can say .. I have no idea how to tell you, as EVERY bios is different. But for sure, you must find a way to tell bios you want to boot up that 2nd hard drive, [02:33] I am trying to figure that part out, but if i disable sda maybe we can get it to boot [02:34] VBguy_mobile: In my Phoenix bios, I must 1st enable the means to switch hard drives ( I have 3 ) . Off the top of my head I do not recall the specifics. [02:39] Bashing-om trying to go back into live cd to see if there is a boot tag on sda [02:40] But every thing had been working fine until the upgrade :( [02:44] VBguy_mobile: What is on the liveDVD has absolutely nothing to do with bios. In bios you set where bios is to look for the boot code. In our case that is the 0th sector (MBR)- because that is where and is proper we installed that boot code - of the 2nd hard drive (sdb). There is a means in your bios to unlock the choosing of the booting hard drive. === skelterjohn_ is now known as skelterjohn [02:47] VBguy_mobile: All I can surnmise is in the upgrade process grub did not get installed to 'sdb' maybe defaulted to 'sda'.

[02:48] hi all [02:49] how to get rid of 15 seconds of "scanning btrfs filesystem..." at boot of 14.04? when i was using 12.04 --i also had btrfs as root-- but there was not that 15 second scanning [02:49] i google but cannot find the answer [02:50] Bashing-om i an an moron. I kept enter setup not bios [02:51] i believe that losing 15 second of boot time is very not neccessary [02:51] VBguy_mobile: It is all a process of learning. I too have a long way to go. [02:51] especially when i am using laptop in 14.04 install on SSD [02:52] Bashing-om i thought set up looked odd as it was only giving me basic options. Now to figure out how to get the system bios === Extreme_ is now known as Extreme- [02:58] i [02:58] VBguy_mobile: When you boot, at the bios splash screen should be an advisory of which key to deperess to enter the bios utility.

So I am trying to install skype 4.3, however for some reason apt-get only installs 4.0 & the software center only installs 4.2 [03:09] Guest78158: 10.04 is too old i think [03:09] now I have tried the other package installers, but they keep insisting that I have the wrong architecture i386, so I tried running sudo dpkg --add architecture i386 & got bubkis [03:10] Guest78158: Release 10.04 is End-Of_Life for the destop in ubuntu, and had no support. [03:10] well for some reason the damn terminal doesn't even understand the command to add the freaking architecture [03:11] Ok, but I think if I could get the system to process i386 architecture, MAYBE i can get it to work, so any idea how to do that? [03:11] Guest78158: Yep, the software repository no longer exists as you may have known it. Upgrade to a current release. [03:12] only server 10.04 is supported, don't wast your time on that old gamers edition [03:12] Im reluctant to upgrade this one because in all honesty, it's been one of the very few distros that have NOT been problematic for me [03:13] it is problematic now [03:14] damn [03:15] That sucks because standard ubuntu always seems to get problematic on me. Then again, I probably need a new desktop anyway [03:15] I guess it's back to mint 14 for me [03:15] ok thanks [03:17] Bashing-om i attempted using your grub command line with sata0 dissabled and changed the number based on using ls, however i get file not found [03:18] Bashing-om is the a space before and after both , [03:18] quick---, where is my icons directory ? [03:18] errr... I mean quick, in general terms [03:19] i have an app with this line in it's config file: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql. i assume it's the binary of postgresql. is this the path to the binary: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres ? [03:21] locate *.desktop [03:21] VBguy_mobile: The ',' is but a seperator jere between commands. So yes, there is no space at all . 3 seperate commands. [03:22] Doh [03:22] here* [03:24] Bashing-om so the command line fails on the first one then for myself. File not found [03:25] VBguy_mobile: IF you take a look at your boot-repair report, you will see that the system wants to boot sdb1, another install of 14.04, but I see little to support booting sdb1. It appears that booting is from sdb3 and the boot code did not update to reflect sdb3. When you get bios to boot that 2nd hard drive we can invesigate further. [03:25] how do i config eth0 to use dhcp [03:25] ? [03:26] VBguy_mobile: OK, file not found. do command 'set' what returns in the line "root=" and "prefix=" ??

NOT the 1st hard drive ,hd0 . OK ?

It uses UEFI. The Ubuntu Install goes fine until it hits installing grub2 which it fails at and the installer crashes. Is there a way around this? [04:05] BTJustice: need more specifics [04:05] error messages [04:05] Hold on. [04:06] Installer crashed is the title of the window [04:06] It wants to do a bug report. [04:06] BTJustice, you're helping your friend install a BETA ubuntu on his windows 8? ... think on that ... [04:06] No specifics. [04:07] so, no dice wrt my questions? [04:07] BTJustice: the bug report should give you an option to see specifics [04:07] UEFI support should be the same if not better in 14.10. It's actually Ubuntu MATE.

[04:21] It is at least as easy to install VirtualBox and then install Ubuntu on a virtual machine managed via VirtualBox, than it is to figure out how to get Ubuntu and Windows 8 to play nice together on the same physical machine. [04:22] I am running Ubuntu on a virtual machine right now. I use VirtualBox on Windows 8, and it's never given me any trouble with Ubuntu. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [04:24] VMs are great unless you need access to a real GPU.

[04:54] Wordpress nb4 offtopic. [04:56] hey everybody, I have a question about dual booting from separate ssds [04:57] how do I boot from another ssd while ubuntu is booting [04:57] loadedanvils: what. [04:57] my other ssd doesn't seem to be accessible [04:57] rurkowce: I have 2 ssd's in my laptop, but it's only booting one with ubuntu [04:57] how do I choose which one boots when ubuntu is loading [04:58] I think it involves installing grub but I'm nervous about overwriting file system [04:58] loadedanvils: does that other ssd already have a bootloader? :v [04:58] it's windows, so no [04:59] loadedanvils: bootloader is a generic term for anything that resides in your master boot record, so yes, it does [04:59] rurkowce: my mistake [04:59] it is late and my nerves are frayed [05:00] (reason is, I almost fucked up my laptop installing the ubuntu ssd) [05:00] before, I booted from usb [05:00] i'd just hit f12 during laptop startup, or however your bios let's you choose which disk to boot from [05:00] I think it's overwriting it [05:00] but ok [05:00] I'll give it another shot [05:00] what do you mean by overwriting? :v [05:01] I tell it not to boot to ubuntu but it does anyway [05:01] I want ubuntu to be default boot [05:01] but windows also available if I select it [05:02] will grub overwrite? [05:02] windows boot partition? [05:03] you most likely have grub already, since you have ubuntu :v [05:04] 14.04 grub not installed [05:04] but it shouldn't overwrite anything unless you tell it to, since windows is on a separate drive [05:04] ok [05:04] loadedanvils: then maybe grub2 is? :3 [05:05] rurkowce: grub2 command isn't recognized [05:05] loadedanvils, you might check whether there is a "grub" directory in /boot [05:05] sasaem: well, I installed it [05:06] so now there is [05:06] loadedanvils: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 this might make it a bit more clear [05:06] loadedanvils, what is your goal again? [05:06] ubuntu boots by default, but I want to choose which ssd to boot from [05:06] and what are you trying to achieve is called chainloading [05:06] if I press some button [05:07] but it'd be easier to just set it in bios, and then select the non default one with that fastboot selection thingie most bioses have [05:07] loadedanvils: what laptop is it? :v [05:07] rurkowce: it's a samsung [05:08] and the bios only allows me to set boot order [05:08] rurkowce, isn't "chain loading" the process of booting up from some partition on the same drive, not a different drive? [05:08] Samsung NP700Z5B-S01UB [05:08] to be specific [05:09] sasaem: as far as i know it just means passing to another bootloader [05:09] whether it's another partition, disk or iso file :v [05:09] hello spanis [05:09] loadedanvils, do you have windows installed a separate hard drive? [05:09] if so, perhaps this will help you: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows [05:09] loadedanvils: isn't boot order enough? :v [05:10] sasaem: yes [05:10] helo [05:10] you could also try simply altering the boot order, like rurkowce suggests [05:10] rurkowce: it looks like it's ignoring the windows ssd [05:10] loadedanvils: it makes me wonder if it's actually bootable then :v [05:10] plus, it would be easier to chainboot [05:11] you would need to enter the BIOS configuration menu, the exact process for which depends on your hardware. Usually you hold down some f-key during initial boot - the BIOS often tells you which one when you're booting up. [05:11] sasaem: I have [05:11] Are you able to specify an alternate boot order? [05:11] sasaem: yes, but it overwrites [05:11] I can't really choose which one to boot [05:11] Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? [05:12] "it overwrites" [05:12] If I choose a boot order it will save [05:12] and boot [05:12] but then it will always boot that way [05:12] it's a bit of a hassle [05:12] Yes, that sounds about right. [05:12] I'm going to boot ubuntu almost always [05:12] But it works, yes? [05:12] You can booth both OSes without problem? [05:12] I think so, let me check [05:15] yes I can [05:15] so [05:15] I can boot into both, the only problem is that it's a hassle to go in to the bios and unselect one boot [05:15] Hi do i need gvfs? [05:16] then go back and reselct it [05:17] anyone use amarok player. i can consistently get it to crash when adjusting the EQ controls [05:17] i posted the --debug on pastebin [05:17] loadedanvils, OK, that's good. It means you have one way of switching OSes. [05:17] yep [05:18] I'd rather just choose whenever I need to [05:18] loadedanvils, it seems to me that you might benefit from reading the following: [05:18] can grub help with that? [05:18] http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html#Chain_002dloading [05:18] and also: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows [05:18] Try modifying your grub configuration (make a backup of course) to do that. [05:18] sasaem: i'm not sure if it isn't for grub, not grub2 [05:19] Been awhile since I have hopped on my ubuntu partition but seems to have the resolution/video resolution jacked up. How can I reset the video ? [05:19] if so, then he would hardly benefit from it :v [05:19] oh. [05:19] that is version 2 [05:19] so it should be ok [05:19] Using irssi through command line right now [05:20] full manual is here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html [05:20] sasaem: I'm nervous about this, I don't have a spare disk to back up to [05:20] loadedanvils: it's just a text file, so in the worst case you could boot from an usb to fix it [05:20] loadedanvils, the only alternative I can think of is: perhaps your BIOS has an option which you can select which only temporarily changes your BIOS settings? [05:21] sasaem: I think I'll try it with grub [05:21] Hi do i need gvfs? [05:21] the way to choose to boot other one works, it's just tedious [05:21] and yes, if your system fails to boot, it is possible, if you know what you're doing, to boot up a live OS from a USB stick or DVD or something, and then go in, mount the file system, and modify the grub configuration to restore its original state. === Zihuatanejo is now known as TC_cn === TC_cn is now known as bestucan [05:22] lubuntu-: it depends? :v === bestucan is now known as TC_ [05:23] rurkowce, what's the point of it?

[05:28] boris, do you mean a launcher icon for something ie a program [05:28] yes [05:29] yes dr_dan [05:29] fedora_newb: but most of the desktop environments provide something to input commands under alt+f2 ;3 [05:29] try, internet search for.. exo-desktop-icon-edit [05:29] i have the icon or shortcut in the unity menu but will not execute [05:29] ok [05:30] rurkowce alt+f2 didnt do nothing for me [05:30] i'm going to move the files from the windows partition to external hdd so that should free up the whole thing, but i'd like to keep that part so i can install windows 7 on it later. right now, does the ubuntu installation disk preserve my data on the existing linux partition when i install? each time i have reinstalled ubuntu it has deleted the existing data, but i have not tried manually partitioning [05:30] correction... exo-desktop-item-edit [05:31] rurkowce actually looks like resolution might be fine but the login dialog isn't showing [05:31] think this partition has crapped out on me, ubuntu that is [05:31] fedora_newb: does anything show? :v [05:31] rurkowce like the background does for the login screen but not the dialog [05:32] ok [05:32] rurkowce would be nice to get this running again though...really not digging windows 8 [05:33] Not really sure how to get to google on the lynx so I am kinda out of luck here === KaneVanguard is now known as Guest19186 [05:34] fedora_newb: g and it will ask you for an url :v [05:34] fedora_newb: try running startx in a terminal [05:35] rurkowce black screen [05:36] rurkowce modprobe error could not insert nvidia 340 [05:36] that's a progress :v [05:37] rurkowce now what? :) [05:37] fedora_newb: dmesg might have more information [05:38] fedora_newb: i'd suspect that you have installed nvidia drivers in some unofficial way, and now it doesn't really work with your kernel :v [05:38] anyway to install the right driver from the command line?

(i'm at gnome-shell now) [07:26] x_root:what [07:26] huigegood, "what" what? o.O [07:30] huigegood_, my problem is.. windows decoration is not showing, shortcuts is not working [07:30] but just on unity [07:30] start happened after i tried to set a hot spots for "expose" [07:34] Perhaps this isn't the best chan for this, and if so, please redirect me. But how would I ssh into my server, which supplies my router with Internet, from a device connected to the router? Essentially, device has 192.168.1.100; server is 10.42.0.5. SSH from device to server. [07:36] litropy: ssh 10.42.0.5 [07:38] this assumes a bit, like same user name, the router isn't filtering, etc. but if you can, that's how.

[07:42] I downloaded some pr0n and now it's showing up in the search button thing [07:42] lol [07:42] any idea how to remove it? [07:42] th3_mol3, system settings > Privacy ... something. Hang on.

[08:14] the debian package depended on a newer libc version? [08:14] Hi all [08:15] I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 still, and would like to upgrade apache from 2.2 to 2.4. Can you recommend good ppa for that? [08:15] a game called "Rust" that doesn't quite have a perfect dedicated server for linux, geirha, that's what i was trying to get going. it wanted libc latest and i wasn't thinking [08:16] what i meant is that i used a .deb package and dpkg -i to install the newest libc6/glibc -- that was wrong to do on an ubuntu [08:18] nydel: It is fixable, but the hard part is figuring out where the problem is [08:18] It will likely be less work to do a reinstall [08:19] nydel: does ''apt-get update'' alone cause segfault?

I call this "gnome is dying". But this is just my opinion [08:28] Ouch, yes, sounds like something that should have a higher priority [08:29] geirha: true :( Well, I wait unti 3.12 be in 14.04. How do you think, is it possible? [08:30] or... switch finally to KDE. But I love Gnome/Unity UI much more.. [08:30] I can pretty much guarantee that you will not see 3.12 in 14.04, but it is likely that ubuntu backports the fix === xavier is now known as Guest2378 [08:32] it would be cool === khaos is now known as chaotix === chaotix is now known as chaotix1 [08:35] hello is there any dell canonical official ppa for ubuntu 14.04 for the dell laptops? [08:36] hola [08:40] hi, i m just testing [08:40] irc packets === Hobbyboy|Sleep is now known as Hobbyboy [08:41] I have such a strange networking problem which I can't explain/solve. When I boot my ubuntu up. Wired network shows connected, but network.internet doesn't work. Also Orange light on network card lights up (solid, not flashing). I take out the cable and test it with a cable tester (all 8 wires light up green = meaning all is good with the cable at least, and that it makes contact with the switch), then I have to do this about twice [08:41] , plug it back in and Internet and everything works like a charm. I have a Linksys ADSL router which serves as a DHCP server and that in turn is connected to a 16 port gigabit switch, everything connects off here. I have never had this issue before. Everything else on the network works very well. Any ideas? [08:42] how do I force a gimp filter to quit without quitting gimp and losing my work? [08:42] how to read dump file in wireshark?? [08:42] any ideas [08:43] wiehan: What nameserver are you using? [08:44] wiehan: You say that "network.internet doesn't work". What exactly doesn't work? [08:44] BlackDalek, undo [08:44] wiehan: route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; ifconfig [08:44] usr13, well nothing on the network works... [08:44] wiehan: host av.com [08:44] usr13, How do I check which name server I use [08:45] hello [08:45] I got a problem writing a program to delete a non-empty directory using C in linux,who can help me [08:45] BlackDalek: That question sounds highly specific to gimp. I recommend you try asking in #gimp instead [08:45] wiehan: cat /etc/resolv.conf [08:45] usr13, do you wan't a pastebin of that? [08:45] wiehan: grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf [08:45] hui, #c channel [08:45] cfhowlett, it is sharpen by synthesis filter... there is no undo. cancel is greyed out. the filter is still running. it has been running for 15 minutes. looks like it has another hour to go before it finishes. [08:45] usr13 nameserver 127.0.1.1 [08:46] ok [08:46] BlackDalek, ask #gimp [08:46] wiehan: route -n #Do you see your router's IP? === Hobbyboy is now known as Hobbyboy|Away [08:46] usr13, that's what is shows, the output of route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; ifconfig is obviously more verbose, do you need a pastebin of that? [08:47] usr13 with route -n I see my routers IP [08:47] usr13, it's listed under gateway [08:48] wiehan: host av.com or ping av.com *(Can you resolve a domain name or ping it? [08:49] usr13, yes Now host av.com resolves immediately, the problem is now "fixed" but this happens at every single boot up cycle - and I need to take out the cable in and out a few times [08:49] wiehan: ping 8.8.8.8 [08:49] hey guys. I'm getting two dialog error messages starting at desktop. I didn't notice any /var/log/messages. is that normal? [08:50] usr13, ping 8.8.8.8 seems successful [08:50] i mean to say the file 'messages' isn't even there! [08:50] usr13, 30 packets transmitted, 30 received, 0% packet loss, time 29038ms [08:51] JohnTalent: the default rsyslog configuration does not write to a /var/log/messages file [08:51] wiehan: We can not fix something that is not broke, but I've just showed you how to troubleshoot, (accept for the nameserver, I use /etc/resolve.conf on 12.04 you will have to do a little something different to find your nameserver) [08:51] So yes, it is normal for that file to not exist [08:52] Someone tell me how to find the nameserver IP on a modern Ubuntu system. [08:52] geirha: great! thanks. [08:52] usr13, but any idea why this happens on every boot up cycle? I've checked that the cable works, and other hardware works on network. Is it more a software > hardware issue? Is it an issue with this machine trying to connect to the switch? I appreciate the tips, thanks [08:52] geirha: now how do I check for these dialog error boxes at startup of desktop? [08:52] wiehan: cat /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [08:53] wiehan: Is it a switch or a router? [08:53] geirha: is that new? i had always thought i could see a /var/log/messages. [08:53] wiehan: (Does it have a separate WAN port, or not?) [08:53] JohnTalent: Depends what they are and why they appear. Your xsession logs all stdout and stderr to a file named ~/.xsession-errors you might find some cluse there. [08:53] wiehan: grep nameserver /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [08:54] wiehan: Is it a switch or a router: (Does it have a separate WAN port, or not?) [08:54] usr13, I have a linksys ADSL router that connects to the Switch (16 port gigabit), everything else connects from the switch and works fine [08:54] JohnTalent: do you mean the apport errors? The little dialog box that says Cancel or Report? [08:54] eeee: it keeps asking me for a password to report it to ubuntu. [08:55] JohnTalent: /var/log/messages has been a convention of sorts, but not in any way a standard. You'll find most log messages in /var/log/syslog though [08:55] eeee: yes i i think thats it! apport. [08:55] geirha: thanks! [08:55] usr13, I I'm not sure about a WAN port, but here in South Africa we use plane RJ11? Telephone cables for our measly broadband. [08:55] wiehan: If it is truly a switch, then the difference is that it does not have a DHCP server, (in which case, your PC will not "try to connect to it".) [08:56] usr13, but all other devices connects fine in this fashion, it's just my machine that takes effort to connect [08:56] geirha: ok [08:57] JohnTalent: Those are for testing, you can disable them with no ill effects. [08:57] wiehan: Let's go back to the nameserver issue: grep nameserver /run/resolv.conf/resolv.conf [08:57] wiehan: Let's go back to the nameserver issue: grep nameserver /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [08:57] (TYPO) [08:58] hello is there any dell canonical official ppa for ubuntu 14.04 for the dell laptops? [08:58] eeee: ah ok. [08:58] chaotix1, only from dell. not from canonical [08:58] JohnTalent: To disable them you'd have to edit /etc/default/apport , and set enabled=0 [08:59] wiehan: try /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base [08:59] cfhowlett, thank you. i m upgrading my laptop from the factory iso (12.04) and I want to replace it to the 14.04 where I can find it? [08:59] eeee: ok, how about debugging their logs? [08:59] chaotix1, ah, different question. upgrade the ubuntu image then add the dell ppas [09:00] http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3685.dell-xps-13-laptop-developer-edition-a-client-to-cloud-solution-project-sputnik [09:01] wiehan: Here is the deal: You need 3 things. 1) IP (one that is in the range of your router, the same subnet) 2) A nameserver (one that works, one that actually resolves domain names) (usually it will be your router, because most all modern router's have a caching nameserver) 3) Default route, (usually your router's IP again). [09:01] cfhowlett, thanks, yeap i asked because the update program disables the external ppas [09:02] JohnTalent: If you click on details to the left, you can check the report. Also, you can find error messages about startup in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:02] cfhowlett, so I will find the ppas on the dell community right? [09:02] chaotix1, indeed. normal distro uprade process is kick up the distro first then add PPA's. (I'm still awaiting a Dell's official adoption of 14.04.1) So ... xpd 13 [09:02] ? [09:02] xps 13? [09:02] wiehan: More-than-likely, you will get one of those three things wrong, when you find out which it is, you will know what is wrong. Right now, we can't do anything, because we do not know what is wrong. [09:03] cfhowlett, no inspiron 5547 === mteufel is now known as mt [09:03] cfhowlett, i made a clean install of 14.04.1 and I got fan and high temperature issues as many other people :/ and I am now upgrading from the factory [09:03] chaotix1, graphics/touchpad/wifi/ all supported? [09:03] when will ubuntu support nvidia [09:03] any work arounds?? [09:04] cfhowlett, all great but I had high temperature on cpu and the laptop was very hot!!! [09:04] cfhowlett, i think that the issue was because I didnt installed any dell ppa [09:04] chaotix1, common problem ... hope 14.04.1 works better! [09:04] Avnish: What kind of question is that? (Did you state it wrong?) [09:05] !nvidia | Avnish, [09:05] Avnish,: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [09:05] cfhowlett, thanks, one last thing I still cant find the URL of the ppas do you know the page that dell puts them?

[09:05] chaotix1, wait 1 [09:05] cfhowlett, sure! thanks [09:06] yeah ... i heard torvalds saying "nvidia is a painin ***" [09:06] eeee: thank you. [09:06] chaotix1, see ISO and drivers on this page http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3687.sw-and-getting-sputnik-up-and-running [09:06] Avnish: Basically, (as cfhowlett points out), if you want Nvidia drivers, you have to get them from Nvidia. [09:06] Avnish: nvidia is actually pretty cool for an end user [09:06] cfhowlett, thank you. [09:07] chaotix1, happy2help [09:07] oh sorry if i m nt up to date [09:07] cfhowlett, :) so i need to install this tool from github [09:07] chaotix1, note: XPS13 only but see the PPA http://odm.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/ [09:07] has nvidia released any graphics driver for linux? [09:08] Avnish: But, if you install Nvidia driver's manually, you will loose them with subsequent Kernel upgrade(s). You can, however, get Nvidia drivers from the package management system, (usually). [09:08] Avnish: Yes [09:08] thanks @usr13 [09:08] Avnish: look at nvidia.com and see [09:08] cfhowlett, nice i got it :) [09:08] let me check it out [09:08] thanks all [09:10] bye [09:11] <__marco> Hello.

[09:45] åäö instead [09:45] those arn't swedish special chars [09:45] currently trying to install ubuntu on a laptop, but after the install i can't select the drive i installed it on in the boot menu (uefi) [09:45] cappe: screen -rU [09:45] cappe: för fan [09:45] I'm not running screen... [09:46] :D [09:46] hi [09:46] cappe: they show up correctly for me. Are you using screen or tmux? [09:46] when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp trick? [09:46] list [09:46] I'm running plain from CONSOLE irssi [09:46] cappe: what does locale output? [09:46] It outputs only american chars [09:46] locale [09:47] guess there's the problem [09:47] how do I reconfigure [09:47] cappe: what does it output for LC_CTYPE ? [09:47] en_US.UTF-8 [09:47] hey, i install the newest kubuntu and chose automated partition of the whole disk with LVM and encryption, but for some reason the swap partition thats in /etc/fstab doesn't exist, is there an easy fix? [09:48] jberg_: do you have a swap partition? [09:48] cappe: Ok, the important part is UTF-8. That it is english doesn't matter for this particular problem. [09:48] ok shouldn't I generate sv_SE charset?? [09:49] cappe: next you'll want to make sure the console also uses utf8. To do that, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [09:49] nispr0: nope, but in /etc/fstab (i think) it names one with uuid, so i don't know how it disappeared after the installation.. [09:49] pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i INTERFACE -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf <-- will be called everytime the interface goes up? or only on boot? [09:49] when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type I remeber it being something like somthing like that? what was it again anyone know? what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp:// command? [09:50] cappe: Yes, you'll probably want to have swedish locale as well, to get the right sorting order and similar, but it will not affect the ability to type your swedish letters [09:51] guys, if I run Stellarium on this 12.04 laptop with Intel graphic card, it says: "This system does not support openGL" and freezes completely ... I already install freeglut3 ... hints & tips? [09:51] cappe: locale -a will tell you the ones that are currently installed [09:51] is the swap partition thing a common bug in the newest kubuntu? [09:52] can i fix it with a gui partition manager or do i have to read how LVM works? [09:52] cappe: If you already have sv_SE.UTF-8 in there, edit /etc/default/locale and change LANG to that. It takes effect when you log in [09:52] already tried boot-repair (didn't help) [09:58] do i have to gksu nautilus first before i can use the search bar to access sftp on my openssh machines on my lan? i forgot damn. [09:58] when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type I remeber it being something like somthing like that? what was it again anyone know? what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp:// command? anyone?

[10:02] MonkeyDust_ same output that thread and when I try to upgrade without lightdm I get something more...it tells me to report the fatal error and to post my var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and apt.log [10:02] geirha: no it starts with or has in the command i just forgot it === kevin is now known as UnixBird [10:03] nickbobee: Open a nautilus window (not with gksu), hit Ctrl+L -> ssh://user@hostname/home/user [10:04] geirha: no there is a way to connect to a iPhone with open ssh on it using the sftp:// ???????? from the search bar i just forgot it [10:04] damn [10:04] MonkeyDust_ please check it out: http://www.pasteall.org/54106 main log here [10:04] nickbobee: ah ok, ssh:// and sftp:// are the same. Use whichever you prefer; but they both use sftp [10:05] nickbobee: Not from the searchbar, no. Location bar [10:05] MagicSpud please, describe what goes wrong instead of posting walls of text [10:05] nickbobee: Or choose the "Connect to server" instead [10:05] its not working just the sftp://192.168.1.10? geirha i thinks i had to type http or https i forget [10:05] MonkeyDust_ towards the end are the lines that appeared when running do-dist-release upgrade without lightdm [10:05] nickbobee: what's the error message? [10:06] no error it just doesnt find the device ..ge [10:06] irc://irc.darkartika.net/bronx [10:06] nickbobee: then make sure the ip and port is correct [10:06] MonkeyDust_ the problem is it says an unresolvable problem occurred [10:07] MonkeyDust_ and I had no more outputs so I ve been waiting to see whether that thread I first post would have solution but today I tried to run the do release upgrade without the desktop and something more appeared...more info [10:08] MonkeyDust_ I only wrote down the log files and now I am back in desktop [10:08] MonkeyDust_ but it said some fatal error occured and that I need to report it [10:10] MagicSpud describe what you did and tried, in one line, and address the channel please [10:10] MonkeyDust thanks for the help I ll try to be more clear...how would I take a snapshot without the desktop? [10:11] I would like to post the fatal error [10:11] geirha: there is a trick and i forgot it damn... i used to be able to do it.. its like you go to the search bar and type sftp:// and then https:// and then the ip or something i forget but damn... i used to be able to do it.. now im getting nothing just using the sftp://192.168.1.10? [10:11] geirha: usually it will ask for login and password at that screen immediatley [10:12] nickbobee: so your problem is that it is unable to connect to 192.168.1.10 port 22 ... make sure the device is using that ip and has an ssh daemon listening on port 22 [10:13] geirha: it does. [10:13] nickbobee: how do you know? [10:13] MagicSpud, make sure you update and upgrade before doing the do-release-upgrade, otherwise you could have problems [10:13] i know because my iPhone under steeing clearly displays its ip geirha [10:14] nickbobee: and you are sure it has an ssh daemon listening on port 22 ? [10:14] yes [10:15] even if it didnt i should say .. this device has no open ssh ... [10:15] if oyu have any iPhone on your LAN you can attempt to login to it [10:15] if it has no openssh installed it will jsut say this device does not support sftp etc? [10:18] look its simple nevemind the iPhone bit. when attempting to connect to a machine on your LAN using only its ip address you can do do by going to your search bar in nautilus and typing in a command ... i forgot it but i know its geirha: ok so what do i type into as the server address using connect to server option ? [10:20] hi all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- but when I select create from my image [10:21] nickbobee: Can you connect via terminal to that computer, like 'ssh user@ip-of-the-machine'. The filemanager sometimes 'hangs' when it comes to sftp... [10:21] geirha: if i have a device on my LAN with ip address 192.168.1.10? and i want to connec tto it using that ip only then what is the address using "connect to server" [10:21] minimec: who is "user" [10:22] nickbobee: the 'user' you want to login with, like 'ssh minimec@myhomeserver' [10:22] nickbobee, that depends on what services you have running on your server, the ssh daemon must be configured and running to connect via SSH / SFTP [10:22] minimec: there is a damn trick for only knowing the devices ip address [10:23] scarleo: it is [10:23] if your username is the same on both machines you do not need to specify it [10:23] just open a terminal and typ ssh 192.168.1.10 [10:24] hi all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- at /usr/bin/unetbootin, sometimes when I open it from there it says, already installed do you want to remove it? other times it opens the program. Firstly how do I get it to always open the program and not ask me if I want to uninstall it. Secondly im trying to install an image I [10:24] got from Evolution Arch (a gui arch installer) but whenever I reboot it doesn't come up with the boot from Unetbootin at root / -- how do I get it to work with this image? [10:25] nickbobee: 'sudo apt-get install arp' then 'arp -a' [10:25] Isn't arp in a default install? [10:25] after using alt+ctrl+f2 what happens? [10:25] ActionParsnip: Possible... [10:26] minimec: covers the bases I guess :-) [10:26] can anyone help me with unetbootin? [10:26] joshoowa: ask and see [10:26] joshoowa: unetbootin is a simple creature [10:26] nickbobee: that one is even faster 'sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 --localnet' ;) [10:27] i all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- at /usr/bin/unetbootin, sometimes when I open it from there it says, already installed do you want to remove it? other times it opens the program.

[10:27] joshoowa: is this unetbootin installed in Arch? [10:27] no its in xubuntu [10:28] i typed which unetbootin in terminal to find it. [10:28] joshoowa: then launch it from the Xubuntu menu [10:28] test [10:28] joshoowa: it won't offer to uninstall itself. Never seen that [10:28] it asks me if I want to remove it when I do that. Sometimes it opens the program, asometimes it asks if I want to uninstallit [10:28] !test | oz6oh [10:28] oz6oh: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [10:28] ActionParsnip: well it offers me. [10:29] joshoowa: can you give a screenshot, use imageshack or similar [10:29] ok [10:29] ill try -- connectivity issues at the moment both wireless and wire having issues. [10:29] guys, if I run Stellarium on this 12.04 laptop with Intel graphic card, it says: "This system does not support openGL" and freezes completely ... I already installed freeglut3 ... this didn't happen days ago ... hints & tips? [10:30] when I run unetbootin in terminal it says "unetootin is currently installed. remove the existing version with a Y N prompt" [10:31] MonkeyDust: what is the output of: apt-cache policy stellarium === Spr0cket- is now known as Spr0cket [10:31] joshoowa: why mot use the icon in the menu, like normal. [10:32] ActionParsnip: in start menu gives me the same issue. [10:32] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/8394831/ [10:33] joshoowa: if you are wanting to put an Ubuntu ISO on USB, you can use dd and copy the ISO that way === rigo is now known as Guest23167 [10:33] hi. why is an internal cardreader not always working? i.e. now it doesnt recognise the sd card, but if i reboot it will maybe.. i need to reboot a few times to get it work. not too ..... good. and no clue why. [10:34] ive used dd to copy various iso to usb but im having huge trouble getting this hp eliteboot 6930p to boot from usb. [10:34] MonkeyDust: could try https://launchpad.net/~stellarium/+archive/ubuntu/stellarium-releases [10:35] so when unetbootin worked (after I managed to install it on a broken windows) I was happy. But wireless and wired internet is playing up so I thought try another distro. [10:35] I was going to boot arch with the evolution installer. === Warrior-kk is now known as Warrior-kkk [10:36] Guest23167: before you remove the sd card, do you use the safe removal feature in the OS before removing it physically? [10:36] joshoowa: I would uninstall unetbootin completely then reinstall it after running: sudo apt-get clean [10:37] ActionParsnip: u mean like yesterday when i last time used the card in the system? so if i removed with umount last time i used it? i used the card in a windows 7 system last time. (very last time in a digital camera) [10:37] ActionParsnip: I will try that thanks. [10:37] is there a terminal command to uninstall it, I only know sudo apt-get install SomeProgram. [10:38] Guest23167: did you use the safe removal in Windows7 before you removed it physically? [10:38] joshoowa: sudo apt-get --purge remove unetbootin [10:38] ActionParsnip: i think i dont always use the safe way. but last time i simply let the card in, and shut down the system. [10:38] joshoowa: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean [10:39] Guest23167: I'd boot to Windows an [10:39] Guest23167: and inset the card, chkdsk the storage then use the safe removal in the system tray and pull it out when instructed [10:40] Guest23167: you'll probably find it works in Ubuntu [10:40] god... :) and what is causing this? [10:40] Guest23167: misuse of storage by owner.....very common [10:41] Guest23167: its NTFS right? [10:41] fine. i got that. but technically.. [10:41] its a 16gb sdcard for a canon camera. so i guess yes. [10:41] Guest23167: if the storage is not ejected correctly then it will be marked as "dirty" [10:41] i c [10:42] Guest23167: then Linux wont want to touch it, if you use your storage correctly then you dont get issues [10:42] Guest23167: if you use the safe removal then the caches are synced and he storage released properly [10:42] okay I read a bit about ttys and what I would need is to see/read what I typed and the output I got from a tty while I am back to desktop...how would I do this? [10:42] Guest23167: why do you think its the first thing I ask? [10:43] ActionParsnip: sad is that it cant be fixed but only with a windows pc.. :) ok ms doesnt gives a ... about security. but still. there should be a way to override this. [10:43] MagicSpud: you could pipe the output to a file, then read the file in the desktop? [10:43] Guest23167: you are using a proprietary file system! [10:44] like maybe a question as "the card is marked as dirty, do you still want to mount it etc etc etc" so the usual warning. [10:44] Guest23167: proprietary to Microsoft who make Windows, so YES you need Windows to fix their filesytem [10:44] oh cool thanks ActionParsnip could you post an example command please? [10:45] i reboot then and "enjoy" my ms os. [10:45] bb [10:45] Guest23167: if Windows devs would put the ability to access more than 3 file systems in their OS, you could use a journalised file system which would be fine [10:46] thats right. it would be a great "foundation" [10:46] thanks bb [10:46] MagicSpud: find $HOME | grep -i mp3 > ~/Desktop/result.txt [10:46] Guest23167: funny how a publicly readable file system is not in Windows [10:47] ActionParsnip thanks for the ppa link, but methinks opengl is the problem, supertux2 also won't run [10:48] MonkeyDust: strange, does compiz run ok? [10:48] MonkeyDust: have you tried the Intel driver installer (OmgUbuntu has links) [10:49] ActionParsnip: unetbotin installed again so I will try and install arch from evolution installer gui. wish me luck thanks for the help everyone. === parduse is now known as Guest80558 [10:52] why did they discontinue Wubi? [10:53] OERIAS: irs garbage and prone to breakages [10:53] OERIAS, because it never worked right and because fixing it for 14.04 was WAY more trouble than it was worth. [10:54] OERIAS: if you want a try before you buy install, use virtualbox or similar [10:54] True. But how about the whole "Try Ubuntu in a more native environment approach" [10:55] Right native, if Windows fails ubuntu fails [10:56] xangua, not if but when ... ftfy [10:56] wondering if someone can help me with using an rsync backup script: https://github.com/thebestsolution/backup-script/blob/master/backup.sh - I would like to exclude the "nbd-swap" directory in the root folder of the backup. I have placed a "mybackup.exclude" file in the directory above the directory that I am backing up containing "nbd-swap". But the directory still gets backed up. Maybe I'm placing the exclude file in the wrong directory? EXCLUDE="$DIR/$BAC [10:56] KUP_NAME.exclude" [10:56] ActionParsnip: I rebooted when it said but I got no Unetbootin option. Is there something I need to tick, or a bios boot order? [10:57] OERIAS: if the OS suits then use it. You can test ubuntu native using a persistent usb as well [10:57] True. Might as well. [10:57] joshoowa: you will need to check your manual to set USB boot [10:58] OERIAS: basicaly, its awful [10:58] ok but if I set to usb boot a unetbootin option should show up right, no special option in the program itself. [10:58] joshoowa: yes, you need to tell the BIOS to boot USB first [10:59] Well I ran Ubuntu on my sister's desktop because I refused to use her OS. It did serve me well since I made a weekly copy of the .img [11:00] ActionParsnip: but i've been setting unetbootin to install to HDD / (root) not usb, should I do otherwise? [11:00] should i try install to usb. [11:00] first instead of hdd [11:00] joshoowa: thats how Ubuntu gets installed a lot of times. You need to boot USB first if you are installing or even just testimg [11:01] OERIAS: it did work, its just very fragile [11:01] ActionParsnip: so choosing hdd or usb shouldn't matter so long as I choose the appropriate boot option (either HDD or usb) and set it to first in BIOS boot order right). [11:02] It was.... Just a force reboot and it corrupted the install [11:02] and there was usually a possibility of ruining the MBR. [11:02] joshoowa: yes, some BIOSes have buttons to change the boot device for one shot [11:03] OERIAS: exactly, imagine the data loss by users and the target audience of ubuntu. It's rubbish. I'm glad it died [11:03] OERIAS: especially when so many people don't backup data (for their own reasons) [11:04] OERIAS: joshoowa: I have a SanDisk 64GB Extreme USB 3.0 and run two 'full installs' on it: Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 20 (encrypted). I use it with zram swap and mount /tmp in RAM to avoid writing cycles on the stick. I can really recommend such an install. [11:06] Which is why i still debian. [11:06] *still use debian. [11:06] minimec: I have a sandisk cruzer blade 8GB maye it my usb?? [11:06] OERIAS: that doesn't make any sesne [11:07] ActionParsnip, RAM and diskspace efficiency [11:07] OERIAS: my ubuntu instal is 4Gb and uses about 200Mb RAM [11:08] is there a command to check if my laptops dvd drive is working? connected? [11:08] OERIAS: ubuntu minimal plus openbox..... [11:08] Well I was able to use Ubuntu on my 3.5 ghz i7 with 6 GB of RAM [11:08] ActionParsnip: which ubuntu you use for that small install lubuntu? [11:08] joshoowa: sudo lshw -C disk [11:08] joshoowa: You can use it, but the 'new' san disk drives use a better chip starting from 64GB. === jottr_ is now known as jottr [11:09] joshoowa: I use minimal and build up [11:09] OERIAS: so how is ubuntu not great for disk and ram usage? [11:09] salve devo modificare l'ordine del grub [11:09] come faccio? [11:09] minimec: so I can use my usb I should just keep messing with bios settings until it boots from usb or cd? [11:10] ActionParsnip, flash drives. not HDs [11:10] MichaelC: do you want Windows to be first in Grub? [11:10] yes [11:10] OERIAS: its the same difference, the kernel just sees a file system [11:10] michele_: give me a sec.... [11:10] joshoowa: I don't even change the BIOS. I can choose alternate boot devices with 'F12' on boot... [11:11] it's in 5 position starting from 1 (1 is ubuntu 14.04 lts) [11:11] starting from the top [11:11] plus the packaging is superior, but I do use Ubuntu on some PCs. like the media server. [11:11] ok ill keep trying normally i 2 can do that not this lappy [11:12] joshoowa: I install grub on the MBA of the drive... [11:12] michele_: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/ 30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober [11:12] hi, I have got a AVM FRITZ!Card PCMCIA and I would like to get it to work with ubuntu 14.04, after search in the internet I have not found a solution, has any one a tip for me? [11:13] michele_: then run: sudo update-grub [11:13] minimec: that sounds usefull I only just learned to use dd to copy a iso to usb. that's what I do, maybe thats why it doesnt work? [11:13] OERIAS: ubuntu is based on Debian, so its the same packaging [11:13] mv: l'obiettivo "/etc/grub.d/09_os-prober" non è una directory [11:14] michele_: copy and paste the command I gave as ONE command. [11:14] ActionParsnip, they still haven't ported Unity over to Debian. [11:14] michele_: the mv command renames the file [11:14] OERIAS: so? [11:15] ActionParsnip: there's an added space there [11:15] michele_: so you need both filenames in the command [11:15] eeee: ahh thanks [11:15] michele@michele-K53SC:~$ sudo mv /etc/grub.d/ 30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober [11:15] mv: l'obiettivo "/etc/grub.d/09_os-prober" non è una directory [11:15] michele@michele-K53SC:~$ [11:15] michele_: remove he space I added, sorry [11:16] what space? [11:16] joshoowa: I guess... Probably. It cannot read MBR? Can you boot an alternate install on a harddisk and do an update-grub? If dd worked, you should have a additioinal boot option for the card in grub... [11:16] OERIAS: so what if Unity isnt available in Debian.....there is nothig at all stopping the Debian guys (or anyone) fompiling the code in debian [11:16] pls rewrite correctly [11:17] michele_: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober [11:17] OERIAS: so, what is your point exaftly? [11:17] ActionParsnip, I am just chatting. [11:17] mv: impossibile eseguire stat di "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober": File o directory non esistente [11:17] michele@michele-K53SC:~$ [11:18] OERIAS: this is support only, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:18] Although I will have to take it to offtopic. [11:18] michele_: what is the output of: ls /etc/grub.d/* [11:18] /etc/grub.d/00_header /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ [11:18] /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware [11:18] /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober /etc/grub.d/40_custom [11:18] /etc/grub.d/10_linux /etc/grub.d/41_custom [11:18] /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen /etc/grub.d/README [11:18] michele@michele-K53SC:~$ [11:18] michele_ you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [11:19] michele_: looks fine, run: sudo update-grub [11:19] michele_: do you see Windows in the output? [11:21] thanks now it's in the first position :D good bye [11:22] Np easy days [11:22] minimec: so I dont need to do anything additional from dd if=Some.img of=SomeDRive in order to make a usb bootable and install an os? [11:22] hi [11:22] I have 10.64.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1, is there any way to specify the gateway ? [11:23] hi all can anyone please help me find solution for slow boot up I have a line in dmesg where it goes to 74 seconds from 19 seconds can anyone please explain that? [11:23] Roland-: you will need to delete the route then add it with a gateway specified [11:23] mishravikas: can you pastebin the dmesg output? [11:24] joshoowa: no. You copy a working image on the usb drive. afterwards you have two possibilities. You can boot the 'default' Ubuntu install on the harddrive and do 1) 'sudo update-grub' to make it visible in grub of the harddrive... 2) chroot to the USB INstallation and do a manual grub install on the MBA of the USB drive.

I don't have this problem on Windows 7. [12:43] ash123 wifi? [12:43] I think it is something to do with 802.11bgn showing up when I type iwconfig into the Terminal, but I have no idea how to disable 802.11n [12:43] yes, wireless [12:43] I use a TP-link USB dongle [12:43] Humbedooh Thanks! [12:44] smacktalk: np, happy to help [12:44] you'll probably have to add a bunch of groups happy to help [12:44] so it's wifi, it's not internet... try connecting with a normal cable, see if the connection problem persists [12:44] ash123 ^^^ [12:44] The router is in another room, it is inconvenient for me to move it to my computer [12:45] long cable [12:45] Is there a way to disable 802.11n? I think that may be the problem [12:48] ash123: Try to find additional info abut your device and driver with th 'ID' for your device inn the output of lsusb. do a iinternet search with something like this '046d:0994 ubuntu driver' ... [12:50] the modle number for my USB dongle is TL-WN821N [12:50] model* [12:50] but I can't find much about it when it comes to disconnection problems and ubuntu [12:51] What is special about Ubuntu ? [12:51] sorry I am a bit of a noob, I only installed Ubuntu because it is recommended I use a linux distro for learning C [12:51] and Ubuntu is supposed to be the 'easy' linux distro [12:51] hello [12:52] hello ? [12:53] ash123, you could try sudo iwconfig wlan* modulation 11g [12:53] Isn't there any other distros better than ubuntu ? [12:53] i what does the modulation parameter do? [12:53] shibly, yep, arch [12:53] what* [12:54] what is it ? arch ? [12:54] ash123: try 'lsmod | grep ath9k_htc' in a terminal. is it loaded (do you get an output)? [12:54] sets it to a specific band n, g, b [12:54] im on windows 7 at the moment so i cant type it in right now [12:54] ah, ok [12:54] i wouldnt be able to speak in here on ubuntu cus of this problem [12:54] all i know so far: 802.11bgn is enabled [12:55] I am thinking only one of them should be enabled [12:55] but don't know how to go about doing this [12:55] that shouldn't really matter if they are all enabled but worth a try I suppose [12:55] I've tried ubuntu but It doesn't seem to be good [12:55] it alwayes slow [12:55] shibly, what do you want from it? [12:56] gr33n7007h: what does the 'modulation' parameter do in what you mentioned? [12:56] Simply a distro that works without crashing [12:56] anyone knows an alternative to remastersys? [12:56] changes to either 802.11n, 802.11g etc [12:56] ah ok, so in your example it changed to 11g? [12:56] changes* [12:57] ash123 you have wifi problem? [12:57] ash123: Ok. In a germen post someone recommends to disable a hardware encryption feature of the driver. see the post and commands of the user 'praseodym' in the thread. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/wie-usb-stick-tp-link-tl-wn821n-installieren-u/ [12:57] yep [12:57] bye [12:57] is your wifi card broadcom ? [12:57] logy: I do yes, with Ubuntu, it immediately disconnects from the internet after successfully connecting [12:57] well not immediately, after about 5 seconds [12:57] minimec: ill check that out now [12:57] drivers [12:58] ash123: So I would boot ubuntu and check if your stick uses that mentioned 'ath9k_htc' driver, and then maybe try the mentioned commands to configure the driver. [12:58] ash123, although it is chipset specific [12:58] the drivers installed are not good, i had that problem but with a broadcom wifi card [12:59] ash123, is your NIC usb and an atheros chipset? [13:00] i dont fully understand what you have asked [13:00] cus im a bit of a noob [13:00] it is a TP-link USB dongle [13:01] ash123, so it's usb, do you know if it's an atheros chipset? [13:01] i dont know if it is an Atheros chipset or not [13:02] i will try what you guys mentioned though [13:02] <_ynk> hi I have a problem, I can't get an old laptop to boot via USB. it has no CD drive... any suggestions? [13:02] ash123 when you type in terminal ----> lspci what is the last line you have? [13:02] sudo iwconfig wlan0 modulation 11g (or maybe n, since the model number of this dongle is TL-WN821N) [13:02] _ynk did you try to change it in Boot setup? [13:02] logy I can't type into the terminal because I am on windows 7 [13:02] <_ynk> logy: of course. I did change to it and disabled to the hard drive to be sure [13:03] ah yea [13:03] ash123, make sure you put your interface down first with ifconfig wlan* down [13:03] gr33n7007h, what do you mean by putting the interface down? [13:03] then ash123 at the desktop right click on my computer -->manage then on the left side ----> device manager and at NETWORK ADAPTERS you should see what wifi card you have [13:04] _ynk you probably changed it to the Hdd (hard disk of your computer) not to the usb disk [13:05] brb [13:05] _ynk also when the computer is booting it is showing like press f9 for boot options (f9 is at my pc), also what did you use to put the linux on usb [13:05] logy it only says that it is a 300Mbps wireless usb adapter [13:06] so you are using a usb adapter for internet.... [13:06] <_ynk> logy: no. just to clarify I am not a newbie and I know what I'm doing, however for some reason it won't be recognized and that's what I want to figure out [13:06] well i did get a wireless PCI card when i built the computer but it never worked [13:06] <_ynk> logy: and no boot options on this pc. It's an old one :-/ [13:06] so i gave in to a usb adapter [13:07] <_ynk> logy: however you gave me an idea, I'll try another burner maybe :-o [13:07] _ynk ok, in boot setup you should have another option, can be but must not be in the boot menu, which allows you to buut via usb network controller, eneable it, I had to do that on my old pentium 4 [13:07] <_ynk> logy: cus I recall usign some crappy software haha [13:08] ok can you tell me the info about that usb adapter [13:08] _ynk on what system are you now windows or ubuntu [13:08] <_ynk> logy: ubuntu [13:09] just use unetbootin, should be enough [13:09] logy what do you want to know? model number is TL-WN821N [13:09] manufacturer is TP-link [13:09] ash123 ok that is what i wanted to know, when you log into ubuntu do you have internet via Lan cable? [13:10] i dont, router is too far away for a cable that long [13:11] no worries though, I can try what was recommended thought (sudo iwconfig wlan0 modulation 11g) [13:11] though* [13:11] hi all [13:12] i have a problem perhaps somebody can help or give a tip [13:12] i have two virtual linux vms [13:12] virtualbox? [13:12] i want to know if th path /opt/filex of vm1 have the same content [13:12] yes [13:12] (files and folders) like vm2 [13:12] what opportunities are there to compare the content of the vms? [13:12] ash123 when you go to ubuntu, put the lan cable so you have internet and open terminal and type " sudo use aptitude update && aptitude install firmware-atheros" [13:13] they're separate disks unless they are networked [13:13] totally seperate filing systems [13:13] my usb adapter needs new atheros firmware? does it definitely use it? [13:13] my OS i mean [13:14] any ideas? [13:14] yes i just check it, that wifi card had problem with linux since ubuntu 10 [13:14] vms are separate machines with separate filing systems [13:15] ah ok [13:15] anyone know a remastersys alternative? [13:16] nomic: i know [13:16] nomic if you don't get an answer here, type /j #vbox [13:16] but i want compare the content of a special folder on two different machines [13:17] logy I am just wondering, how did you check that a specific usb adapter is compatible with Atheros? [13:17] you need a network [13:17] you use cmp to compare files [13:17] cmp file 1 file2 [13:17] Thomas86 if you don't get an answer here, type /j #vbox [13:17] monkeydust: thanks for the info [13:18] ash123 http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-10-20-tp-link-tl-wn821n-wlan-usb-300-mbit [13:18] but i think this problem is not about vbox ;-) [13:18] seems like many people had problems with it like you [13:18] thanks [13:19] what is juniperberry.canonical.com for? [13:20] can i load things that require kernel modules on a persistent usb disk? [13:21] hey guys i have a question, does adding repositories make your pc slow? like in windows installing software? [13:21] what is juniperberry.canonical.com for? [13:22] ok got the problem solved whit diff [13:22] cu [13:22] Nope it only execute when you use it. [13:23] asik, adding repositories does not slow down your computer, all that does is add a line to a file and add another file. installing programs on the other hand might. With any computer the more programs that are running the slower it will be. [13:24] thx :D [13:24] Try typing top in cli and check what process are running. [13:25] also guys when i press the unity button, the button at the top left corner and start typing something (example libre office) it starts the search on internet too, how can i turn that internet search off?

[13:59] hi [14:00] lol [14:01] how to find my file received from bluetooth [14:01] how do i get gdb pretty printer [14:01] i can not find them [14:01] raven737: i think you refer to the wrong tech, perhaps you mean an alternative to the matrix storage manager [14:03] bajin-lee, if you know the name of the file, you could find it with the command "find" [14:03] yeah [14:03] daftykins: yes [14:03] thanks,vitimiti [14:04] daftykins: so i should try the matrix storage manager? [14:04] raven737: intel's RAID tends to not work directly i think, so it tends to be mdadm or similar people use instead which means the kernel gives management directly [14:04] raven737: you're going about RAID under Linux the wrong way, ultimately [14:06] daftykins: I know, not trying to do raid in intel. My windows raid just failed and the bios tools don't help me as far as i see so i booted ubuntu in the hope i can fix it from there (force drived online, it failed after power outage, i am fairly sure the drives are ok) [14:06] anyone know the package for python libstdc++ [14:07] Is there an easy way to copy files to /usr/local/ without messing up all owners and permissions for projects without make install? [14:07] raven737: does the Intel RAID manager BIOS show the volume as degraded? === ohman is now known as anonyman === anonyman is now known as ohman [14:08] hola [14:08] daftykins: well, it shows all drives as "member drive offline" [14:09] I followed instructions from here [ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx ], I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on late 2011 Macbook pro. When I boot the machine, it says "Operating system not found". [14:09] daftykins: not exactly failed i guess, sounds like i could somehow make them online again it it might work [14:09] daftykins: dmraid might work? === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [14:10] daftykins: oh god i don't know my root password >< [14:11] raven737: i'm not 100% sure you can just fire up Linux and see the Windows based setup as it was [14:12] You shouldn't know your root password, just use su or sudo to do stuff as root [14:12] daftykins: i guess, i will try to install on a new drive and try the intel management utilities [14:13] Mithrildar: yes, su asks for password, i set this up, it's my fault >< [14:13] raven737: apparently dmraid would be the one, but you're risking your data i'd say. so i'd have the two drives imaged up onto another disk as a backup before trying anything [14:13] daftykins: good idea, thank you [14:13] raven737: give clonezilla a go perhaps [14:14] not sure if that's the right name now, hrmm [14:14] daftykins: ok, thank you. Hmm, the drives are fairly small, I would like to image them into files so that I can restore from those files if needed [14:14] Raven737 that's the password of your account, not of the root account afaik [14:15] Haven't used su in ages though, su is evil [14:15] anyone have any experience over clocking ubuntu systems? 12.04 LTS 64-Bit [14:15] Mithrildar: ah, thank you [14:16] ax562: overclocking is OS independant [14:16] daftykins: yes, clonezilla seems to be the one [14:16] Mithrildar: You talking about su is endangering some security aspects?. [14:17] Yes [14:18] daftykins: I am unable to accomplish over clock in linux/ubuntu. OC processor is independent but communication from user to cpu is os dependent. [14:18] hello guys how do i use my ubuntu laptop as a hotspot while its already connected to wifi, im not using ethernet [14:18] daftykins & Mithrildar thanks for the help [14:18] ax562: communication? you don't overclock with OS tools ;) [14:18] you can, but nobody serious does [14:19] ax562: anyway, this is more relevant conversation for #hardware / ##hardware - not here, as that's not ubuntu support [14:19] daftykins: you use specific linux based modules to accomplish writing to registers. [14:19] that has nothing to do with overclocking [14:20] how do i use my ubuntu laptop as a hotspot while its already connected to wifi, im not using ethernet [14:20] sivarjun: you likely can't unless your wireless adapter has multiple streams [14:20] why would you share wireless to wireless? you'd just let the other device connect to wireless too? :) [14:20] I'm not trying to get into of what is/what isn't. If #hardware is the place to go I would appreciate confirmation. I'm surprised no one has oc in ubuntu. [14:21] cuz wireless is user login only and only one device can use it at a time [14:21] im able to do it windows via mhotspot [14:21] ax562: i believe you don't understand how overclocking works at all, because it doesn't have any relevance to the OS at all. i don't recall if the channel is single or double #, i am not going to check for you [14:22] sivarjun: i think i've heard of hostapd before for ubuntu / Linux [14:22] daftykins: OC is writing to certain registers and changing hex values to certain registers. [14:23] multiplier values. [14:23] only if you're using OS tools to do it, which isn't the only way [14:23] thanks for that. [14:24] well I could mount my cpu to a specific communication dev tool but why on earth would I do that. [14:26] Guys, using Nautilus, when I try to Connect to a Server ( sftp://ip.add.ress) I get an error message saying "Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the requested location" [14:26] Any idea what could be going on? [14:28] sftp://user:pass@address/ ? [14:28] daftykins, trying that now [14:28] i wouldn't do so graphically though [14:28] i'd scp [14:29] Bash: No such file or directory. [14:29] I.. wow [14:30] knob: how did BASH come into it? [14:30] I don't know man... I... [14:30] sorry man [14:31] I just ran with FileZilla and it worked... so I am going to go with that.

[14:46] samthewildone: fat can only take 4GB files [14:46] samthewildone: you're going to need to format it with a file system that does, like exFAT [14:46] oh [14:46] or NTFS [14:47] which is better ? [14:47] there is no better, only what works [14:47] depends what OS you're copying from and to [14:47] Linux -> Linux | Linux -> Windows [14:48] samthewildone: i'd go with ntfs [14:48] samthewildone: use ntfs [14:48] not the fastest but it will work [14:48] I'm trying to mount it via gparted but, get a error. [14:48] samthewildone: you don't mount it to format it [14:48] Partition 1 isn't aligned to cylinder boundaries. This is still unsupported. [14:48] samthewildone: go format it on the windows PC as NTFS [14:48] simplest method [14:48] err I meant its mounted but, I cannot get into the settings [14:49] ... [14:49] what if I don't have a windows computer ? [14:49] Hello [14:49] I am back [14:49] I am trying to use "sudo use aptitude update && aptitude install firmware-atheros" in the Terminal but it is saying that 'use' is not a valid command [14:49] Can anyone help? [14:49] samthewildone: then you're in for more work [14:50] lol I have a windows computer [14:50] I'll brb' [14:50] ash123: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install aptitude" [14:50] ash123: remove the "use" in that command [14:50] samthewildone: i knew you did, i knew you were just being lazy :) [14:50] will it still install the atheros-firmware I need for my usb adapter? [14:50] samthewildone: if you didnt have a windows computer, you would just format it in gparted. [14:51] ash123: aptitude is not installed per default on ubuntu. [14:51] mn2010: that's what he was just trying before running into errors, you'd see that if you scrolled up one screen or two [14:51] oh ok, i am a bit confused between this 'aptitude' and 'atheros-firmware' [14:51] i know i need atheros-firmware for my particular usb adapter [14:51] ash123: There is no firmware-atheros package in current ubuntu distributions anymore, even though that would give you a different error I guess... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=firmware-atheros&searchon=names [14:52] oh ok [14:52] so is this 'aptitude' used for USB adapters (wifi)? [14:52] ash123: "aptitude" is a program you install packages from the ubuntu repos. the ubuntu standard is "apt-get" which is installed. so you can make "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-atheros [14:52] ash123: no. [14:52] oh ok [14:52] kvirc has been being a pain lately [14:52] aptitude is not related for your wifi stuff anyway [14:52] ash123: alternative to apt-get to manage the package system [14:53] ah i see [14:53] ash123: see my last command. use this [14:53] i couldnt scroll, it was beyond my join message [14:53] right then, i will need to boot back into ubuntu (cant get a stable internet connection for more than 5 seconds at the moment) and try what you said [14:53] ash123 apt-get ... apt-itude ... syn-apt-ic ... that's the pun ... apt = advanced package tool [14:54] i see [14:54] Hi my laptop losses wifi connection all the time lease help [14:54] hi [14:54] i will be back shortly [14:55] oke [14:55] where are you come from [14:55] India [14:55] wow [14:55] im from indonesia [14:55] Cool [14:56] what os do you use maniteja> [14:56] So any idea about my problem [14:56] Ubuntu 14.04 [14:56] ok ok.. im use backbox linux === romtamcloud is now known as FirefIy67 [14:57] Ohhh [14:57] Hello!

[14:57] why you dont like === FirefIy67 is now known as romtamcloud [14:57] i got ubuntu 13.10 [14:57] name_: well, i would suggest to ask the zorin guys [14:58] what is zorin [14:58] spidersenses: make first sure you update to 14.04 [14:58] !zorin === quantum_bit is now known as Guest28600 [14:58] spidersenses 13.10 is no longer supported, upgrade first, then ask again [14:58] @kil_ I did, but the channel isnt very frequented. [14:58] pin: a different distribution based on ubuntu [14:58] I just love ubuntu but the wifi issue so bad [14:58] pin: zorin is a not supported spin off from ubuntu. like the backbox you use [14:58] i love backbox linux :D [14:58] it looses wifi all the time [14:59] ok thaks k1l [14:59] pin: general chat is not appropriate here, please join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat. support questions only in here [14:59] why not supported kil_ ?

RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [15:05] Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [15:06] this is chip [15:06] maniteja: you need to prefix each response with the nickname of who was helping you so they can respond [15:06] k1l_: ^ [15:06] Hello, not directly Ubuntu-related, but can somebody tell me how I can stop Thunderbird and Firefox from creating crash reports? [15:07] Mrokii: in the settings, turn off... crash reports [15:07] maniteja: well, seems like this chip is a problem at all [15:07] k1l_: So it is the hardware that is faulty? [15:08] maniteja: that is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466 see command 177 and 178 which seem to be a solution [15:08] I can't seem to connect to IRC, either with Irssi or with WeeChat. I think it's a failure to connect to port 6667, though I can't imagine what's preventing this. Any ideas? [15:08] Launchpad bug 1049466 in linux (Ubuntu) "Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support" [Medium,Confirmed] [15:09] topdownjimmy: please refer to #freenode [15:09] k1l_: thank you so much will try the fix and will let you know [15:09] daftykins: I also can't connect to efnet. [15:10] topdownjimmy: why, you glined ? [15:10] Poppabear: I doubt it [15:10] I can connect via a MacBook on the same network and with the same username [15:10] daftykins: I haven't found such a setting in Thunderbird at least. [15:11] It's just timing out. [15:11] topdownjimmy: make sure the router is setup properly and not blocking /forwarding ports to another lan client === AlphaBeta is now known as PsiOmega [15:12] topdownjimmy: sounds like network connectivity issues. DNS and general online functionality with websites good, besides the IRC clients issues? [15:12] topdownjimmy: outdated server names used in the clients maybe? [15:12] daftykins: Yeah everything else seems fine. [15:12] daftykins: I've reset the settings in both WeeChat and Irssi and still timing out [15:13] topdownjimmy: right so what hostnames are they configured to hit for freenode? [15:14] I've tried dickson.freenode.net and just plain freenode.net [15:14] k1l_: i have already tried this solution it definetley reduced the problem a bit but its not gone completely i still loose connection may be i will buy a new powerfull router may that will fix the issue [15:14] topdownjimmy: some are down since the recent hacks and i don't know which, visit freenode's website and use their proper round-robin hostname, something like chat.freenode.net [15:15] Hi. I need a function or script to delete a dash from the beginning of a line in a text file but only if the dash is the first character in a line. Does anybody have an idea how to achiev that (perhaps with grep, awk or sed)? [15:15] daftykins: Ha, argh, :slaps forehead:, chat.freenode.net did it. Thanks!! [15:16] topdownjimmy: so #freenode would've assisted after all ;) [15:16] nevermind, enjoy [15:16] :shakes fist: [15:16] Thanks === topdownjimmy is now known as tdj1 === Owner is now known as Guest56081 [15:25] hello trying to compile snapscreenshot it wont install anybody could tell how to fix it? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=77460 [15:28] well I just mkdir /usr/local/man/man1 and I think that worked [15:29] not sure where i should be asking this here or in a another channel, but i've got python 2x installed (as default) on both FEDORA as well as including UBUNTU and since 2x seems to still be the default in many distro's, how can i make python 3x the default (i.e. when i type python rather than python3)? hope i'm making sense here. [15:32] @rtdos If you compile it from source ive read somewhere that by installing it with "make install" it automatically will be the default one. [15:33] name_: we don't advise compiling software over packages, here [15:33] Also, you can put: alias python=python3 into .bashrc or .bash_aliases [15:33] http://askubuntu.com/questions/320996/make-default-python-command-to-use-python-3 [15:34] @daftykins: I see, sorry. [15:34] !checkinstall | name_ [15:34] name_: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [15:35] yeah, overriding alias or function is the safest. Scripts may brake if you change the version of /usr/bin/python [15:35] gah, *break [15:37] python 3.x is not fully backward compatible with python 2.x [15:37] BTW can somebody tell me why there are multiple instances of the same python binary file in /usr/bin? [15:37] Its a total waste of space, just to have it under different names. [15:38] name_: what? [15:38] no luck on the oc [15:38] name_: symlinks doesn't take up much space ... [15:38] If everyone follows this strategy i understand why OS-es are so damn chunky. [15:39] Is it a symlink? [15:39] thanks, name_ [15:39] They all show as binary files and the size is shown as the same, too. [15:40] rtdos np, i just came across this thread today anyway. [15:40] # [15:41] name_: odd, python and python2 are symlinks to python2.7 here [15:41] with iptables, how do i specify `if not `? [15:42] @geirha im using ZorinOS, maybe showing them ax binary files sized 3.3 MB each is some kind of bug. [15:42] *showing them as... [15:43] name_: Well this is #ubuntu ... anyway, may be they're hard links in that OS. ls -i should tell you if they are [15:44] Really? ok, ill try. [15:44] they'll have the same inode number === sins-_c is now known as sins- [15:47] Well, output is: *263491 python* for *ls -i python*, simply *python2* for *ls -i python2* but with different color and next *python2.7* again in a third, different color. [15:50] colors doesn't tell me much. try: command ls -il /usr/bin/python{,2,2.7} [15:50] command in order to avoid any alias or function you may have for ls === Wurst is now known as mz [15:52] Hello, I'm having problems trying to change my dns number [15:53] I created a post on ubuntu forums, if someone could help I would be eternally grateful =) [15:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2245138&p=13126340#post13126340 [15:54] geirha, well, the numbers are different for them.

[15:55] hey, does anyone have any experience setting up zentyal in esxi? [15:55] Mainly related to networking issues [15:56] name_: symlinks, just like in ubuntu === derk0pf is now known as derk0pf|NA [15:56] the L in lrwxrwxrwx === derk0pf|NA is now known as derk0pf [15:58] Is there a way to make Chrome's window buttons be on the right in GNOME shell, without having to check "Use system title bar and border"? In other distros, Chrome's window buttons are on the right. [15:58] I see, thanks. I'm relieved! [15:58] name_: where the funny accented characters are, they should be a representation of the month name in your language. If they look odd, your terminal emulator and locale have mismatch of character encodings === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [16:00] Well, i never bother to give my real location when i install linux but i always set the language to be english, [16:00] name_: does running ''locale'' agree with that? [16:01] Probably not because the locale is set as Prague or something... [16:01] Thus the slavish characters. [16:02] Well, if zář is a correct month abbreviation in that language, then all is good [16:04] i have an app with this line in it's config file: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql. i assume it's the binary of postgresql. is this the path to the binary: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres ? [16:06] owen1: no, it's a socket created by postgresql [16:06] geirha: oh. how do i find the binary? [16:06] In Ubuntu 14.04 64bit My Wacom tablet can plug and play, I have to restart before it sees it again. This use to not be the case. Any ideas? [16:09] How can i set my resolution to a fixed size on boot? xorg file and xrandr are a bit confusing. can anyone assist? [16:09] owen1: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres is the executable, and /var/run/postgresql is a socket [16:09] owen1: "which " ? [16:09] hm. Or maybe I'm mixing things [16:10] no, not "which", use "type", never "which" [16:11] hi .. my boot folder is almost full.. and i have tried deleting old kernals using synaptic & Ubuntu tweak. but there are other files which which is not getting listed in either application [16:11] pras: please show a "ls -al /boot" in pastebin please [16:11] i have ubuntu 14.04 32 bit system [16:12] geirha: What's the difference? I've always used 'which'. [16:12] Seeya! [16:12] geirha: to locate the binary? that's what which is for... [16:12] -_- [16:13] camtron: which is a shell scripts that look through PATH for an executable. type tells you what actually gets run [16:13] camtron: that is, type will tell you if it's a shell builtin, shell keyword, function or alias. which will not. [16:14] ah interesting [16:16] geirha: type postgres => ash: type: postgres: not found [16:16] Oh, I see, so type tells you that 'ls' is aliased to 'ls --color=auto'. 'which' just simply tells you the path of ls. [16:17] geirha: i think the binary is here - /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin like u said earlier [16:17] anyway, just checked, /var/run/postgres is a directory, typically holding the pid file and a socket when postgres is running [16:18] salve [16:19] dani [16:19] !it [16:19] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Lately I've been having all sorts of problems with chrome. At first it was that if I left chrome running with a couple dozen tabs open in different windows,I'd come back and chrome would be chewing up 99% cpu. I tried creating a new user profile (which appears to be standard advice for chrome problems) and now literally every third or fourth page I get the "aw snap!" error page. I restored the old user profile and [16:25] it's still the same. I removed/reinstalled chrome and it's still the same. [16:25] Did my question get truncated? [16:26] pras: that are the only ones? [16:26] puff: No, not truncated as far as I can see [16:26] k1l_ : yes [16:27] DJones: Thanks., [16:27] pras: Do you perhaps have a /boot partition shared with other OSes? [16:28] geirha:i have a windows 7 ... but i have not been able to boot in to ever since i upgraded to 1404 [16:28] geirha: there is a config file with this line: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql user=postgresuser dbname=readeefdbname (https://github.com/urandom/readeef/blob/master/README.md) so i assume it's the binary. thoughts? [16:30] owen1: /var/run/postgresql is NOT the binary, no. Why would you think that? [16:30] geirha: oh. so what is it? [16:31] pras: does "sudo apt-get autoremove" remove some not used packages? [16:32] owen1: When connecting to a remote postgresql server, you usually connect via a tcp socket [16:32] k1l_: how do i test it ?? [16:32] pras: just run that command === PsiOmega is now known as AlphaBeta [16:32] owen1: When connecting to a local postgresql server, you usually connect via a unix socket. It's saying that said unix socket can be found in the given dir [16:32] pras: yep, just run it [16:33] owen1: ls -la /var/run/postgresql [16:33] Reading package lists...

[16:34] pras: hmm. are you sure the "dpkg -l | linux-image" results are the only ones? there must be way more than this 4 lines [16:34] geirha: i see 9.3-main.pid and .s.PGSQL.5432 and .s.PGSQL.5432.lock the pid is the unix socket? [16:35] those are the only ones [16:35] owen1: no, the one with s in the first column is the socket. --> srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres ... [16:36] k1l_:those are the only ones [16:36] geirha: oh. so 's' stand for socket. [16:36] s in the first column means (unix) socket, - means regular file, d means directory etc... [16:36] camtron is this useful (12.10) http://www.bestubuntu.com/add-custom-items-to-system-settings-window-in-ubuntu-12-10.html [16:36] pras: than something more is broken on your system. i get 51 lines on my system [16:36] so when a program want to connect to the db it accesses the socket file? [16:36] pras: please install "pastebinit" and run this command: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image | pastebinit" it will show a link that you can copy to here [16:37] k1l_: ok [16:38] pras: daftykins i need to leave in the next 5 mins. so if you want to take over that support issue that would be great. [16:38] k1l_: will do, cya soon [16:39] k1l_: thank you [16:39] pras: if you're absolutely certain you have no other OS installs besides ubuntu 14.04 and Windows, you might as well just delete some of these older kernels (or for safety, move the files to another path that does have space so they're not causing you a problem) === Guest42353 is now known as karstensrage [16:40] camtron the howto I suggested works, just tried [16:41] Thanks, MonkeyDust. [16:42] daftykins: yes i am sure i have only onle Ubuntu & a Windows partition . i have tried deleting and moving it using the file manager but unsucessfull [16:43] camtron next time, i'll try first, then suggest ;) [16:43] pras: ok lets be devils, run this "sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-3.5* " [16:44] daftykins: nothing happened [16:44] pras: that's a good thing, it won't tell you :) that will have saved 60MB [16:44] pras: ok now run this "sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-3.8* " [16:45] daftykins: same nothing [16:46] pras: like i just said it won't tell you anything for just deleting files, the command completes and it returns to the prompt [16:46] pras: now run "df -h" and see how much space is free on /boot [16:46] daftykins: yes [16:47] daftykins: i have 54% left [16:47] daftykins: thats great [16:47] MonkeyDust: It works for me! [16:48] pras: cool, that should be enough to be getting on with - though you can definitely delete the rest of the 3.5 and 3.8 files [16:48] daftykins: delete using file manager ?? [16:49] pras: to do it graphically you would have to run nautilus with gksudo, all you have to do is look at your pastebin - http://pastebin.com/CPDkDJdj - and delete the files you don't need [16:49] Silly question time: in the LVM man it says that I can use several sub-fixes when specifying the "--size" option to "lvcreate". For example it says that "M" stands for "megabytes". Are they actual megabytes or mebibytes? [16:49] mebibytes? [16:50] mibibytes i think you mean there [16:50] pras: e.g. before we deleted the largest of them, the initrd.img's, but now you can delete the rest, e.g. start with the abi's [16:50] pras: "sudo rm /boot/abi-3.5* " and "sudo rm /boot/abi-3.8* " [16:50] daftykins: I mean mebibyte [16:50] s* [16:51] morning all, I was wondering if it is possible to boot multiple PCs from a single USB stick. that is I want to have several machines that do NOT boot unless a USB stick is inserted. Is this possible? If so what keywords do I search for? [16:51] faust: oh they're the same. [16:51] MonkeyDust: Yes, I mean.

[20:31] usr13 i change the update thing to main server sow its doing something i have to wait [20:31] vargas: Okey Dokey [20:32] Gatis it can handle the most complex ubuntu questions [20:32] I have been running ubuntu for a long time on a what I call and older system. its a Dell Inspiron-3521 AKA 15, and just today I rebooted and when it started back up, I got This error: " ubuntu has been blocked by the current security policy ", When I findly disabled secure boot it worked again.. and yes Im in EFI modes.. anyhow.. its never done this before.. any ideas ??? I have asked in the other channels with no reply avail .. [20:33] Smuxi has a lot of dependencies almost 60 MB [20:33] Hi all [20:33] usr13 hey dude i think i fixed it [20:33] usr13 i change the updater thing to MAIN SERVER and it works now :D [20:34] Elimin8er: That sounds as if the "grub-efi-amd64" package was updated but that "grub-efi-amd64-signed" wasn't [20:34] vargas: Very good. [20:34] usr13 there is no error in ternimal now when i use the apt-get update :D [20:34] TJ-, hmm.. so I just wait for an update or what can I do? Im still kinda new to this. [20:35] I been using a computer since 1980 started with C64 then PC ..but the linux thing, im still learning. :) [20:35] usr13 thanks anyway its cool to have community thats there to help :D Bye [20:36] This is a test [20:36] Anyone suggest Smuxi IRC client? [20:37] !test | Riddleywalker [20:37] Riddleywalker: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [20:37] lol thank you [20:37] Gatis try a few clients and choose the one you like most [20:37] haven't been on IRC in like 10 years [20:37] Elimin8er: For now if Secure Boot is disabled you should be OK. "grub-efi-amd64-signed" contains a GRUB boot-manager prebuilt and signed using Canonical's EFI key; "grub-efi-amd64" generates an unsigned boot-manager ("/boot/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi") on-the-fly [20:37] Gatis: I suggest irssi [20:37] last client i used was bitchX [20:37] usr13 why [20:38] TJ-, , thank for your support.. [20:38] TJ-, , This is the only channel I seemed to have received help with anything on. [20:38] oh Smuxi has a lot of dependencies... [20:39] Gatis: http://irssi.org/documentation [20:39] when it comes to irc clients, I use hexchat.. guess I like the gui's [20:39] Elimin8er: Some updates may cause "grub-efi-amd64" to be reconfigured which causes it to generate a new "grubx64.efi" which may replace the existing signed version entry in the System's boot menu [20:39] Elimin8er: yes i know hexchat i like it [20:39] usr13: well not sure about cli irc client [20:40] Gatis: I am [20:40] I use hexchat behind ZNC.. [20:40] hi [20:40] Smuxiii! [20:40] TJ-, Might be a chance there is a backup someplace there maybe? [20:41] I do keep system backups also.. but I just wanted to know what happend. [20:41] its the first time that happen [20:41] Nop don't like Smuxi [20:42] Elimin8er: The signed file is installed at "/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/grubx64.efi.signed" - it is copied and renamed from there when "grub-install" runs [20:42] Gatis if you use irssi in combination with screen, you can close the terminal and even logout, without interrupting the irc session [20:43] TJ-, I run 2 systems with ubuntu one a dell and the other a HP. and they both have ubuntu 14.10. and only my dell did that crazy thing. [20:43] MonkeyDust: oh alright [20:43] What's screen? [20:43] Elimin8er: 14.10? [20:43] !screen | Gatis [20:43] Gatis: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [20:43] yea 14.10 utopic [20:43] gnome also [20:43] Elimin8er: support for the development version of Ubuntu is in channel #ubuntu+1, but you should expect breakage from time to time [20:44] I just preformed a distupgrade to 14.04 and after the upgrade was done my mindlna install / configure was corrupt. Now when I try to start the service I get: parsing error file /etc/minidlna.conf line 54 : listening_ip=192.168.1.107, without binding to an address, non of the devices on the network can see files in the media share. Has anyone else seen this. Everything worked before the upgrade [20:44] MonkeyDust: is it like tty? [20:44] TJ-, Thank you.. I will join that channel also. [20:44] Gatis yes [20:44] docmur: you dist-upgraded to 14.04 ? I hope you mean do-release-upgrade ? [20:45] !nvidia | docmur [20:45] docmur: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [20:45] TJ-, I have just always been a guy that likes to test the latest of everything.. heck I even got a copy of windows 9 comming at the end of the month. [20:45] MonkeyDust: why can't just use tty? :) [20:45] yes sorry, i thought do-release upgrade just ran a dist-upgrade [20:45] Gatis for the reasons I just said [20:46] docmur: You may need to re-install the nvidia modules [20:46] Gatis: you can logout, and the session continues, you log back in, and then "attach" back to it [20:46] anyhow I got 5 systems [20:46] docmur: Or just reconfigure [20:46] what? ro get minidlna working I have to reinstall a graphics card driver? [20:47] docmur: Oh, I missread [20:47] I don't log out.. Either I suspend latpop or shutdown it. [20:47] !info minidlna | docmur [20:47] docmur: Package minidlna does not exist in trusty [20:48] docmur: "minidlna" isn't in Trusty, it got dropped, but it is in trusty-backports via Utopic.see http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/minidlna [20:48] Gatis: it's useful over ssh [20:48] eeee why do you use ssh? [20:48] GoLinuxMint: lol [20:49] Gatis and with screen -x you can connect to a running TTY session [20:49] ill test it somedayh [20:50] Gatis: so I can access it from almost anything that understands internet speak [20:50] SchrodingersScat: you mean acces your pc from other pc? [20:50] Gatis: yes can ssh in to the irc program that stays running. [20:50] Not useful for me.. [20:51] Gatis: let's say you have a long running process on a specific shell providing server, you run it in screen, you log out, log back in after a while and attach to it [20:51] ok [20:51] guys, im banned everywhere [20:51] pls [20:51] i did drugs [20:51] But i don't have problem quiting IRC> [20:51] and they wont let me in to defocus [20:51] im barely watching thsi [20:52] TrainChase: you're not only one [20:52] i wont remember and i dont nkow if its serioius [20:52] TrainChase: please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. thanks [20:52] so don't despair [20:52] k1l_: im not clear [20:52] i turn off my laptop every day [20:52] why wont you understand [20:52] !ot | TrainChase [20:52] TrainChase: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:00] i've rebooted and tried plugging it back in, but it's not showing up still [21:00] yeah, sd card-- micro sd card to be precise [21:00] it's in an sd card adapter in a laptop though [21:00] plum: Better off to use a regular thumb drive [21:00] plum: try sudo parted -l [21:01] parted -l only shows my hard drive [21:01] not the sd card :/ [21:01] i was trying to write an OS to the sd card for a raspberry pi [21:01] hello all [21:02] plum: try tailing /var/log/syslog when you stick the sdcard in, see if any errors show up [21:02] i had a problem earlier with my USB adapter, but the only solution seems to be to use a different USB adapter that has drivers which work properly [21:02] Cerberus kernel: [ 167.160059] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card [21:02] i am wondering, as i am currently learning C at the moment, could i get to a point where i could one day write my own drivers?

[21:12] any help would be greatly appreciated. [21:12] ImActuallyACat: are you able to access those files from an OS on a USB drive? [21:12] or another OS on the same/different HDD? [21:12] no i'm not. [21:13] i wouldnt know then, sounds pretty bad [21:13] plum: add it to the 'dead' pile. maybe there is some magic i'm unaware of, but i just keep tossing them into a pile and buying new ones. [21:13] speaking of which, does anybody know a free alternative to DBAN that is getting regular updates? i dont like how darik sold out to Blancco [21:14] sounds like that's what i'll have to do, unfortunately [21:14] i've got xubuntu on a live usb, and i have no idea if it's able to recognize the ubuntu install on the hard drive. [21:14] i'm okay with reformating, i just want to be able to obtain some of my older files. [21:15] What caused the problem? [21:16] i honestly have no idea. i started up my computer after shutting it down, and then it told me i was missing the ubuntu root, and all i could do was use initramfs commands, and it's been going downhill ever since. [21:17] what === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [21:17] it's on a laptop, by the way. is it possible to remove that laptop's hard drive, put in in my desktop and then maybe extract those files from windows? [21:17] Should I assume you know the device name and tried to mount it? [21:18] It is possible to do and windows, but probably better to do it in Linux perhaps booting from a USB stick. [21:18] sorry, I'm doing voice to text. [21:18] ImActuallyACat: easier to boot a live session on the laptop and backup over the network [21:18] okay, how would i do that? [21:20] ImActuallyACat: are you familiar with mount? [21:20] no i'm not. [21:20] i'm using an iPhone fryer see you at the moment. Typing all the commands would be a tad tedious.

[21:27] thanks [21:28] Basically I resized an NTFS partition on my external HDD and now it won't mount. Gparted tells me to chkdsk /f on windows, but I don't have windows :) [21:28] what do you mean by fixing Rob79 ? [21:28] ImActuallyACat: ok well the good news is there's no physical damage showing up, but as you saw there're only partitions showing for 64GB of the 750GB drive which is very bad [21:28] marvin-RPi: Well, after I resized the partition it just stopped mounting. I've tried ntfsfix with no success, and since I don't have access to Windows I'm not sure what other NTFS tools might be appropriate. [21:29] is there anything i can do?

[21:37] Basically, what's the significance of it ? [21:37] so more than one user can access it... [21:37] Ah, so basically "group" is just short for "access group" ? [21:37] no. [21:37] smart_developer: think of you got 5 users using your pc (or some network directory). so you put them into a "cool-group" and set the permissions of a folder to user:cool-group. now all that users can handle the folder and the files in it according to the mode set for the group [21:37] ImActuallyACat: ok, so you can either try risky commands or buy another drive first to aid in recovering this one [21:37] daftykins - Then what's a more descriptive way to describe "group" ? [21:37] hey, I've got an old Griffin Powermate (basically just a big volume control with a led light).. when I plug it in I see that it's recognized in dmesg output and apparently it shows up as an input device.. how can I catch events from this? anything I can use to run bash scripts or python scripts when I use it? [21:38] smart_developer: the only way the word 'group' needs more of an explanation is if your mother tongue isn't English [21:38] let's try the risky commands, it's the only choice i've got really. [21:38] k1l_ : What "modes" are there ? [21:38] ImActuallyACat: hang on let me run this by a good sir [21:38] okay thank you. [21:38] smart_developer: that what you set with "chmod" [21:38] TJ-: heya, do you have much experience with data recovery when a user's drive has lost partitions? [21:39] k1l_ : Ah, I see. [21:39] smart_developer: like 755, or 711 etc etc [21:39] Then owner is just owner ? [21:39] Does owner mean that they have pretty much any permissions that they want? [21:39] And can "owner" be a collection of users, as well ? [21:40] smart_developer: http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml [21:40] s5fs : That's for chmod [21:40] all these questions and more can be answered with a quick read [21:40] daftykins: Yes :) [21:40] s5fs : We're more on chown, here. [21:40] smart_developer: no. owner is the first number and group the second number of the permissions numbers [21:40] !permissions | smart_developer [21:40] smart_developer: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:40] smart_developer: you are asking basic unix file permission questions, the utility used to modify these permissions does not matter. [21:41] smart_developer: you need a better conceptual understanding of WHAT you are changing and WHY, not HOW [21:41] TJ-: care to take a look at this parted output from ImActuallyACat ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8398989/ i was about to maybe advise testdisk being run. user has no disk space for a backup image to be made first [21:41] chmod/chgrp/chown all that stuff is the HOW [21:42] k1l_ s5fs : Thanks. [21:42] Btw, s5fs what does your username stand for? something fs ? [21:42] filesystem ? [21:43] keep it on topic, smart_developer [21:43] smart_developer: system five filesystem [21:43] so like, i may not be the wizards beard with unix file perms but i know enough ;) === Guest45080 is now known as NaStYdoG [21:44] daftykins: ImActuallyACat OK, got that. I'll just run up a chat history so I can catch up. Have you checked the Live ISO's "/var/log/kern.log" for any indication of disk I/O errors from the Hitachi drive? [21:44] Quick question - so is "root" always going to be (either explicitly or just implicitly) considered both "owner" and a member of the "group" for every file/directory ? [21:45] TJ-: no sir, i too jumped in late [21:45] Even when "owner" and "group" don't explicitly say so ? [21:45] Because "root" can do everything, right ? [21:45] i'm not sure what i'd be looking for. [21:45] smart_developer: nope [21:45] k1l_ : But can "root" still do, everything ? [21:45] k1l_ : Even when not "owner" or in "group" ? [21:45] hey, I'm having trouble with nfs [21:46] smart_developer: well, somewhat: yes. [21:46] k1l_ : What do you mean by the "somewhat" ? [21:46] ImActuallyACat: You'll see some very obvious "Disk I/O Error" messages, each of about 5 lines, detailing the raw command that failed [21:46] smart_developer: but you should setup your stuff that way, that you dont need that superuser in daily use. [21:47] nope, don't see any. [21:47] I can't mount a nfs share though on the nfs server a user with the same uid and name exists as my desktop user and the shared directory belongs to this user [21:47] ImActuallyACat: Here's an example (the first photo shows them) http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68147/i-o-errors-on-hard-disk-on-linux-boot [21:48] nope, none. [21:48] ImActuallyACat: If there aren't disk I/O errors there's a good chance the data can be recovered in-situ, if we can first be sure what partitions and file-systems were on the disk before it went bad [21:48] k1l_ : Even having read s5fs article, I'm still a bit confused as to what the significance of "owner" is, and why permissions need to be set seperately for the "owner", aside from the "group" ? [21:49] k1l_ : And it seems that if you're the owner, why should anyone be setting permissions against you ? [21:49] After all, you're the owner, right? [21:49] And can owner be a group of users (more than one user) ? [21:49] smart_developer: if you set the permissions to 700, only the owner can do all and even the group can do nothing [21:49] ImActuallyACat: Do you have "pastebinit" installed in the Live environment? If not, please install it - we're going to need it! [21:49] TJ- + ImActuallyACat - already present :) [21:50] smart_developer: XYZ permissions stand for X=owner, Y=gropu, Z= all. [21:50] daftykins: ImActuallyACat Great .... "pastebinit < <(sudo blkid)" [21:50] hi, just a quick question [21:50] owner 1 person, group= well a group, all = all [21:50] ImActuallyACat: daftykins I'll be a couple of minutes; putting the coffee-pot on :) [21:50] ashley123: waiting for it (: [21:51] k1l_ : So then it seems that "owner" can only be 1 user, correct ? [21:51] I set my ubuntu partition to be about 15 GB big when i installed ubuntu earlier (alongside windows 7), but it only shows the partition as having a capacity of 6.2 GB on Ubuntu [21:51] thank you so much guys, i really appreciate it! [21:51] im wondering where the rest has gone? [21:51] k1l_ : And lastly, can the "chmod" command only be run by "root" ? [21:51] ashley123: are you in ubuntu right now? [21:51] ashley123: please pastebin "df -h" [21:51] yes [21:51] in ubuntu right now === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [21:51] ashley123: what k1l_ said :) [21:52] um, never used paste bin before [21:52] do i need to make an account [21:52] or can we private message on irc? [21:52] smart_developer: no, chmod is run by the owner. if you are not the owner you run as sudo. [21:52] no, paste.ubuntu.com [21:52] smart_developer: be dont get tricked into running all as sudo. just use sudo where you really need to [21:52] k1l_ : "Run as sudo" = "Run as root" ? [21:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399173/ [21:53] my SSD is 120 GB (advertised, actually smaller) [21:53] smart_developer: on ubuntu there is no active root. you are running as user and if you need root-rights you use sudo [21:53] k1l_ : Okay, then "sudo" is the closest thing to the concept of "root", correct ? [21:54] ashley123: please pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" small L at the end [21:54] smart_developer: yes. its used on ubuntu to not run as root all the time and do stuff accidently as root where it doesnt need root [21:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399192/ [21:55] smart_developer: its like the admin user on windows, just that you dont run as admin all the time just preface a command with "sudo" to get that singe command the root rights [21:55] ImActuallyACat daftykins Can you show us "pastebinit < <(sudo blkid)" [21:56] we are the Champion of the World! [21:56] ashley123: well, you only set 6GB to ubuntu. the other 8GB are used for swap [21:56] k1l_ : What's the difference between windows' admin user, and a superuser ? [21:56] i set it to 15 GB when i was installing [21:56] has the swap taken too much? [21:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399211/ [21:57] hey, I'm experiencing a curious error: if I'm mounting a nfs share I can't access the data and ls -la shows like user 1001 owns the folde I mounted the nfs share to [21:57] smart_developer: in short: there is none [21:58] smart_developer: see windows: they changed that old "you need to loginto admin account all the time" to that dialog boxes who ask for admin permissions, too. that is what sudo is like on ubuntu [21:59] k1l_ : All right, I see. I can take it further from here. Thank you for your help. [21:59] :) [21:59] and if I try to sudo chown mysuser sudo can't access the directory [21:59] ImActuallyACat: OK, so the tools that should be able to tell us what is in "/dev/sda2" can't see anything they recognise, which suggests the partition has been over-written by something else either totally or in-part, so we now need to look at that manually. Please show us "pastebinit < <(sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 bs=512 count=8 | hexdump -C)" [21:59] smart_developer: just take some 15mintes to read the wiki pages linked by the bot [22:00] k1l_: I have 8GB of RAM, should I reduce the swap (because I'm guessing I don't need so much)? [22:00] ashley123: if you aren't going to use the hibernate feature, you can delete the swap partition. [22:00] ashley123: well, if you want to hibernate you need some little more than you got ram [22:00] anybody an idea whats going wrong? [22:00] oh ok, thanks for the replies guys [22:00] i usually leave my computer turned on because i have really slow internet [22:01] ashley123: personally i dont have a swap at all (8Gb ram and ssd and no use of hibernation) [22:01] but i do have hibernation disabled (by default i do believe) [22:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399227 [22:01] ashley123: your SSD is too small for even Windows alone i'd say, both on it is a bit of a masochistic move [22:01] daftykins: huh? Windows works fine with 30GB or so [22:02] daftykins: i dont have gigs upon gigs of videos/music/etc files stored [22:02] thoonai: lol. off topic here but i fundamentally disagree [22:02] ashley123: but honestly, 15GB is quite few space for a ubuntu. i got a 15GB / ( with 10GB used) and 70GB /home [22:02] its fairly safe for me, i only have a bit of music and games, and mostly do programming now (learning anyway) [22:02] ImActuallyACat: Not looking good - those first 8 sectors of the partition should have something other than all zeros in them; your output shows nothing at all. This looks like something has blanked the partition [22:02] sure Windows is a stupid idea, but it works [22:02] don't separate /home to an extra partition [22:03] so it's all gone? [22:03] it does not makeexactly much sense [22:03] thoonai: it does [22:03] ImActuallyACat: Install "testdisk" and use it; it may be able to find something and then we can decide if it is possible/safe to let testdisk make changse [22:03] k1l_: tell me [22:03] k1l_: I'm wonderign [22:03] thoonai: doesnt flood / partition [22:03] and I could need some help with nfs though ... [22:03] i did have a 1TB HDD I was running alonside the SSD, but I hardly ever used it and it showed signs of failing (BSOD a lot until I disconnected it) [22:04] alright, it's installed and running. [22:04] ImActuallyACat: Despite its name "testdisk" actually scans the raw data looking for the signatures of partitions and file-systems and gives options to recreate them so that an operating system can read them [22:04] k1l_: ? what should flood a partition? user or root? I thought you have like 5% reserver for root on ext4? [22:05] hello there! is it possible that installing 3 oses may slow down the hard disk rpm ? [22:05] somedudez: you never run them all at once, so no [22:05] somedudez: No [22:05] somedudez: sure, after 20 OSes the disks stops because its too heavy [22:06] but wouldnt the hard disk have. to "travel longer" to reach dofferent filesystems ? [22:06] somedudez: no nothing happens you just have les space [22:06] somedudez: That might be the case for tape drives, but not spinning disks [22:06] +s [22:06] thoonai: yep, or if you want to reinstall and want to keep user data, etc etc etc [22:06] i see, fair e ough thanks ! [22:07] k1l_: never did separate partitions, never had any problems [22:07] thoonai: i dont ride my bike with a bike helmet, never had any problems :/ [22:08] what do i do next? [22:08] k1l_: oh sure, yes I'm experiencing weekly trouble with an server because glorious master admin separated the partitions and they ever flood with /tmp waste [22:08] k1l_: sure thats no legit argument, sorry ;) [22:08] thoonai: i mean: if you experience issues (on a standard user desktop system) its already too late for our discussion. [22:09] ImActuallyACat: If testdisk has positive results (claims to have found file-systems other that /dev/sda1), pastebin the report and let us consider it [22:09] Hey all, anyone have an idea why an apt upgrade would result in my nvidia drivers breaking to the point that xrandr doesn't work and I don't have a nvidia-xconfig command anymore? I've tried completely reinstalling 3 different versions of the drivers to no avail [22:09] k1l_: ? huh === xubuntu is now known as Guest35094 [22:09] okay, how do i do that? [22:09] Krixvar: if they were manually installed from an nvidia website download, yeah, that could break things [22:10] thoonai: yeah, server systems do have other requirements and even a lot of spare partitions for different mount points do make sense. [22:10] ImActuallyACat: sudo testdisk, No Log > No Log > select disk [22:10] daftykins -- straight from the repos, that's why I was so surprised [22:10] abother questions: does Tor modify network config? [22:10] ImActuallyACat: what are you trying to recover? [22:10] i selected the disk. [22:10] k1l_: if the root partition floods every week with >20GB waste in /tmp something goes somewhat very wrong [22:11] ImActuallyACat: ext4 ? ntfs ? [22:11] ImActuallyACat: Has testdisk reported it can recover aanything? [22:11] daftykins: I just ran apt-get upgrade last night, didn't notice anything about nvidia, this morning its stuck at low resolutions and nvidia-settings doens't show any options [22:11] do i select the intel option, then analyze? [22:11] ImActuallyACat: Can you pleae prefix your comments with my nickname; use tab-complete if needed to quickly select a nick-name [22:11] Is there anybody who knows if there is an app for Ubuntu that will let me configure audio out formats such as bitrate, speaker settings (5.1, 7.1, etc)? I have one (Pulseaudio Volume Control) that definitely gives me many more options than is typical, but I'd like to be able to change some other parameters. [22:11] ImActuallyACat: Yes [22:12] I'm not averse to manually editing files, if there is no GUI available [22:12] and if I try to sudo chown mysuser sudo can't access the directory [22:13] eeee: sda, 750GB msdos PT, 2 partitions, sda1 == /boot, sda2 primary.... zeroed for at least 1st 8 sectors. Using xbuntu live env, no disk I/O errors seen in logs [22:14] TJ-: ok [22:15] oh I have still trouble with my nfs not being properly mounted and changing the user and group id [22:15] ImActuallyACat: TJ- :: as a new user, this may prove helpfull: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761/recover-data-like-a-forensics-expert-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ ; written in a user-friendly way and introduces you to testdisk in a gentle way . [22:16] I'm getting stupid about this nfs stuff, it makes no sense at all [22:17] ImActuallyACat: Thanks for the private message, but it'd be more helpful to keep all messages in the channel window so everyone can help you. You don't need to send me a message directly, just prefix any comments addressed to me with "TJ-" so my IRC client highlights them for me. [22:18] ImActuallyACat: eeee daftykins OK, testdisk is reporting "* Linux and P Linux LVM" [22:18] ImActuallyACat: You need to tell Testdisk to try to recover the "Linux LVM" which is what is in "/dev/sda2" [22:18] TJ- ahh okay thanks. [22:19] TJ-: interesting, no LVM experience here but i'd have thought it would've been seen as encompassing the entire 750GB disk? :) [22:19] ImActuallyACat: you can view the files by pressing 'p' over the partition [22:20] daftykins: No ... GRUB might not like booting from LVM LV, so in that case a separate /boot/ is created.... this is to allow the option to use full-disk encryption on the LVM PV [22:21] TJ-: ah-haaa, so potentially nothing is wrong at all? :) === Granis` is now known as Granis [22:21] daftykins: Well, yes, because something has clobbered the LVM metadata from sda2 so it looks empty to the file-system tools [22:22] TJ-: oh ok, it's no voodoo tech then :) [22:23] nfs is voodoo and it fdrives me insane [22:24] TJ-: daftykins: what do i do next? [22:25] ImActuallyACat: did you use the right arrow to make the partitions you want recovered green? [22:25] eeee: yes, both are green. === MichaelC1 is now known as MichaelC [22:26] ImActuallyACat: TJ- daftykins ok, then write to disk, i guess? [22:26] ImActuallyACat: eeee can guide you well here; I need to go now, good luck with it [22:26] eeee: i've no experience with that one myself :) [22:26] TJ-: thanks for the assist === sins-_c is now known as sins- [22:27] TJ-: daftykins: thank you so much for the help! [22:27] no problemo [22:27] eeee: how do i write to disk? dk [22:27] glad my instincts to check with someone better panned out [22:27] eeee: do i set them both as primary? then just press enter to continue [22:27] ? === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [22:28] ImActuallyACat: daftykins yeah, i think so [22:28] daftykins: ? [22:28] Hey! [22:28] I've no idea about LVM stuff [22:29] Im trying to install this: https://github.com/erming/shout-build But im not sure where to put the folder. I want it to have its own launcher icon. [22:29] eeee: so i restarted the laptop and it's giving me the error missing operating system. [22:29] eeee: sorry i don't have any experience with the current process [22:30] ImActuallyACat: did you write to disk? [22:30] yes. [22:30] did you try the backup BS thing? [22:30] ( i think that checks the boot sector ) [22:30] no i did not. [22:31] ok, might be worth a shot [22:31] eeee: give me a little bit to try and do so. [22:31] ImActuallyACat: do you have a windows cd ? [22:32] Is there anyways to lock the dashboard to the desktop so it's always open [22:32] eeee: no i do not. [22:32] ok it works wit 755 permissions,but this is not exactly fine [22:32] I dislike nfs so much [22:33] eeee: so i just started up testdisk again, and now it's giving me quite a few drive options to select. [22:34] eeee: including /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root which startup said was missing when the problem occured. === peter is now known as Guest73543 [22:35] eeee: do i still select /dev/sda to backup the BS thing? [22:36] ImActuallyACat: i think so [22:36] ImActuallyACat: do you have another PC with windows on it? [22:36] ImActuallyACat: i think you need to write the MBR [22:37] eeee: yes i do, so i just write the TestDisk MBR code to the first sector? [22:37] no, i don't exactly know what that does [22:37] i was thinking you could use that pc to make a recovery usb, boot to a command prompt and fix the mbr [22:38] is this win8? [22:38] eeee: win7. [22:38] let me see what that testdisk mbr option does [22:40] ImActuallyACat: ok, try the recovery BS thing [22:40] eeee: how do i do that? [22:40] get the partitions the way you want them, and then after writing, press the backup BS option [22:41] eeee: did that, now write? [22:41] yeah [22:41] what options do you get? [22:42] "write partition table, confirm ? [y/n]" [22:42] yeah [22:42] now reboot? [22:42] i mean after that what does it say? [22:42] no, wait [22:42] it just says you have to reboot for the change to take effect. [22:42] it should say something to the right, like use backup bs [22:43] or something like that [22:44] ImActuallyACat: nothing? [22:44] nope. [22:44] alright, i guess reboot [22:44] and enter testdisk agai [22:44] and try to write the testdisk MBR [22:44] For the root device you have to reboot for partition changes. Non root device doesn't require reboot. [22:45] do i reboot the laptop or the program? [22:45] it tries to boot whatever bootsectors it finds in the partition's [22:45] ImActuallyACat: yeah try to reboot [22:46] Im trying to install this: https://github.com/erming/shout-build But im not sure where to put the folder. I want it to have its own launcher icon. [22:46] still get missing operating system error. [22:46] "reboot and select proper boot device". [22:46] nahtnam: if you know the command to launch the program, launcher icons go in /usr/share/applications ( as .desktop files ) [22:47] ImActuallyACat: ok, enter testdisk and try to write the testdisk MBR [22:47] eeee There is no command [22:47] its a tarball file [22:47] nahtnam: follow the instructions of the author [22:49] eeee Yes, he says run build.sh, but when you run it, it just generates executable in the same folder [22:49] /msg NickSert identify danomann [22:50] eeee: i wrote the testdisk mbr. [22:50] /msg NickServ identify danomann [22:50] nahtnam: so your command would be /path/to/executable i guess [22:50] nahtnam: try to run it in the terminal [22:50] ImActuallyACat: ok, restart i guess [22:50] eeee Ohhhh ok. I see what you mean! Where would the best place to put the folder with the exec files? [22:51] okay, so now all i get is "1234F:" [22:51] nahtnam: if you want you can put it in /usr/bin , (that would let all users have access to it) , or you could make a ~/bin directory in your home, and it would be added to your PATH [22:51] I have a Dell Latitude D620 that I want to use Intel graphics for. I set the BIOS to onboard graphics but the nouveau driver keeps on loading. I tried to blacklist it but it does not load i915. Is there any way to fix this. I believe this laptop is too old for Optimus. [22:52] eeee Thanks! [22:52] np [22:52] ImActuallyACat: ok press 1 [22:52] it should try to boot from the first partition [22:53] nothing happened. [22:53] 2? [22:53] nope. [22:53] tried, 3,4, and f, nothing. [22:53] ok, well i guess you can try to make a recovery usb using win7 [22:54] is 2gb enough? [22:54] i'm too well versed in these stuff, i'm not sure it would work, worth a shot i guess [22:54] ImActuallyACat: yeah [22:55] okay, so what do i do now? [22:55] if i have a Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) how can i know mine chipset ?? [22:55] ImActuallyACat: try to go to the control panel and search for recovery [22:55] in win7? [22:56] sorry to ask again.. just totally lost as to why I no longer can run nvidia-xconfig - I asked a friend who recently updated as well and he is still able to [22:56] ImActuallyACat: yeah, i'm not sure about win7, win8 has it [22:56] I have a Dell Latitude D620 that I want to use Intel graphics for. I set the BIOS to onboard graphics but the nouveau driver keeps on loading. I tried to blacklist it but it does not load i915. Is there any way to fix this. I believe this laptop is too old for Optimus. [22:57] ImActuallyACat: if it's not there, follow this guide to make one http://en.kioskea.net/faq/29462-windows-7-create-a-system-repair-usb-key [22:57] eeee When I try running ~/bin/path/to/executable/shout I get this error: `[15957:0921/155715:INFO:gpu_info_collector_x11.cc(80)] NVCtrl extension does not exist.` [22:58] nahtnam: are you using the open source drivers? [22:59] eeee My laptop drivers? They are System 76 drivers [22:59] nahtnam: not sure what the program does, but usually if you need gpu stuff you'd need the proprietary drivers [22:59] Hey guys, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and it can't discover any bluetooth devices, even though (from dmesg) bluetooth appears to be properly initialized [22:59] eeee Oh lol [22:59] I think I figured it out [22:59] Thanks [22:59] :P [23:01] hey, I got a question about dual monitors: why does ubuntu insist that the monitor on the left is the primary monitor? [23:02] mavenblue: i think you can drag and rearrange them in settings > display [23:03] I've tried display settings, catalyst settins, xrandr settings, I can make my right monitor primary, but as soon as I tell ubuntu that it's on the right side my task bar etc jump to the left [23:05] eeee: okay, i followed and finished those steps, what next? [23:06] ImActuallyACat: ok, boot it in the pc [23:06] eeee: yeah, I can tell linux which monitor is on which side, but it refuses to allow the one shown as being on the right side to be the primary display [23:06] Sorry, it crashed. Anyone have a solution for Ubuntu not being able to detect any devices even though dmesg says it's properly initialized? One thing that caught my attention is the fact that it seems that there are two bluetooth controllers [23:07] eeee: now i get "disk i/o error" [23:07] as soon as I click "right of" "crt2" everything jumps to the left display [23:08] mavenblue: try to turn off monitor you want as secondary, and press apply [23:08] mavenblue: then turn it back on [23:09] eeee: same dif [23:10] ImActuallyACat: booting the usb is giving that? [23:10] eeee: yes. [23:10] should i try a different usb drive? [23:10] yes, [23:11] ImActuallyACat: you could also try to boot it on the other pc [23:11] okay, give me a little bit. [23:12] mavenblue: you did turn it off in settings > display right? [23:13] mavenblue: in settings, there should be launcher placement [23:16] ImActuallyACat: any luck? === testBOT is now known as Guest69747 === Hobbyboy is now known as Hobbyboy|Sleep [23:20] ImActuallyACat: if you have a win8 pc, you can make a recovery usb for win7 there [23:20] eeee: working on it now, i'm trying a different usb. [23:21] eeee: nope, no luck. [23:21] argh [23:22] also i/o error? === superspring_ is now known as superspring [23:22] now i get "remove disks or other media. press any key to restart" [23:23] ImActuallyACat: is the USB's priority first in the boot options? [23:23] yes. [23:24] when i press a key, it brings me back to just "1234F:" [23:24] ImActuallyACat: what kind of usb is it? [23:25] a 1gb crucial gizmo! jr. [23:25] 0o [23:27] ImActuallyACat: does the usb boot in the other pc? [23:27] give me a second to try. [23:27] ok, but only one! [23:28] :) [23:30] nope, same error on a different computer. [23:31] what are you guys trying to get this second drive to boot? [23:31] should i format that usb, and make it a bootable usb with boot-repair-disk? [23:33] ImActuallyACat: yes, give it a shot [23:34] daftykins: we're trying to use boot a win7 recovery usb to fix the mbr and bs [23:34] is that not something just reinstalling GRUB can sort? [23:34] daftykins: i think he is running windows only [23:34] good question though [23:34] lol [23:35] ImActuallyACat: are you running windows only?? [23:35] on the drive that i'm trying to fix? no, ubuntu only. [23:35] :D [23:35] * daftykins wondered where the Windows boot factored in [23:35] well, that's great! [23:36] ImActuallyACat: boot a live usb [23:36] okay. [23:37] is xubuntu okay? that's the only one i have right now. [23:37] yip [23:37] okay cool. [23:39] okay, in xubuntu. [23:39] ok is this efi ? [23:39] efi? [23:39] if you do sudo parted -l , what partitions do you get [23:40] eeee: nah msdos [23:40] daftykins: ah, right. [23:40] worth us seeing an updated parted -l anyway though i'd say [23:40] given all that testdisk confusion [23:40] yeah [23:40] ImActuallyACat: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:41] ImActuallyACat: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [23:41] then sudo parted -l | pastebinit [23:41] So I've cycled through 2 proprietary drivers from the ubuntu repos as well as one from xorg-edgers, and they're all behaving the same... so I feel like it was something else. How can I see what packages got updated yesterday when I ran apt-get upgrade? [23:42] Krixvar: dunno, but pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:42] Krixvar: also "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" [23:42] Krixvar: /var/log/apt/history.log will show you exactly what got upgraded [23:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399710/ [23:42] thanks one sec [23:43] xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399717/ [23:44] dpkg -l : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399724/ [23:45] I've also tried nvidia-304 from repos and 340 from edgers (removed edgers with ppa purge after it didn't work any different) [23:45] this is probably asked a lot but is there anyway to move the launcher to the bottom of the screen? [23:46] Krixvar: what ubuntu version is this? "cat /etc/issue" [23:46] ah nm i read the wrong line [23:46] X3fyr: yes [23:46] 14.04 [23:46] X3fyr, No but there are docks [23:46] X3fyr: there's a bug on launchpad about it, and there are solutions in its comments [23:47] daftykins -- 14.04, Kubuntu but I think this is a general ubuntu/nvidia === ap is now known as Guest57479 [23:47] Krixvar: yeah your nvidia install is trashed, you have no built modules for the current kernel [23:47] ImActuallyACat: sudo sh -ec "apt-get install lvm2; vgchange -ay" [23:47] bonsoir [23:47] Krixvar: "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* " [23:48] daftykins: I've done that between every reinstall but I'll try again, should I install any headers or dev files so it actually builds it? [23:48] eeee: just did that. [23:48] Krixvar: install nvidia-current and see that it actually generates it [23:48] ImActuallyACat: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt [23:49] unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [23:49] daftykins: gotcha, I'll get back to you in a sec.. feeling like this is somehow related to the fact that I've had to manually modprobe nvidia_331 in a tty before logging in for the last few months... hadn't ever had time to fix it [23:50] Krixvar: lmao [23:50] daftykins: pretty much [23:50] ?join #ISIL [23:50] Krixvar: and you only mention this NOW!? *faepalm* [23:51] ImActuallyACat: try sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /mnt [23:51] daftykins: it technically worked fine :P plus getting a terminal on login kept people from logging in without me around 0.o [23:51] looks like the install worked http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399749/ [23:51] okay did that. [23:51] daftykins: Krixvar Maybe ->above command will also remove the nvidia-common package and the nvidia-common package has as a dependency the ubuntu-desktop package (??). [23:52] ImActuallyACat: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot [23:52] Krixvar: i take it you've been modprobing it now and restarting X after to test? [23:52] okay. [23:52] ImActuallyACat: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [23:52] daftykins: that or rebooting since this morning I tried modprobing and it did nothing but a reboot resulted in a low res login [23:52] Krixvar: so now "sudo service lightdm restart" [23:53] daftykins: no modprobe first? [23:53] sorry, i don't quite understand that. [23:53] Krixvar: no, nor should it ever be necessary [23:53] ImActuallyACat: it's a command [23:53] daftykins: interesting okay, be right back [23:54] type, "sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i"? [23:54] ImActuallyACat: type his whole line "for... [23:54] ImActuallyACat: no run the whole command, "for ....done" [23:54] ahh okay. [23:55] daftykins: should have known better than to run it from the desktop.. ran it again from a tty and got a low res login page again [23:55] daftykins: dpm [23:55] okay done. [23:55] daftykins: whoops, don't* have any higher resolutions available either [23:55] ImActuallyACat: chroot /mnt [23:56] ImActuallyACat: sorry, sudo chroot /mnt [23:56] operation not permitted. [23:56] Krixvar: do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? delete it if so [23:56] okay done. [23:56] Krixvar: rather, rename it to xorg.conf.old [23:57] ImActuallyACat: sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda [23:57] daftykins: did that earlier I believe, there's nothing there now [23:57] How do you (1) count how many processes are currently running, and (2) set the maximum number of processes running for a user ? [23:57] ImActuallyACat: might not need sudo there [23:57] daftykins: also strange is that the nvidia-xconfig command doesn't exist on my computer now [23:57] installation finished, no error reported. [23:58] ImActuallyACat: update-grub [23:58] Krixvar: you definitely checked ? [23:58] daftykins: yeah, nano says new file [23:58] done. [23:58] ImActuallyACat: type exit [23:58] daftykins: running xrandr gives "Failed to get size of gamma for output default [23:58] " so I feel like this is a larger issue than the graphics drivers :( [23:58] okay. [23:58] Krixvar: nano? lol man don't do things such a weird way. "ls -al /etc/X11/ [23:58] ImActuallyACat: sudo reboot [23:59] should i remove the usb? [23:59] ImActuallyACat: yeah, let it boot without it [23:59] okay.
