[00:00] <Bashing-om> eeee: Should we not back put of that change root ?
[00:00] <daftykins> Krixvar: maybe fresh reboot and do it like you would normally do, i sense your Xorg.0.log wil still be saying fbdev is the driver in use
[00:00] <ImActuallyACat> I THINK YOU GUYS FIXED IT GIVE ME A SECOND TO CONFIRM.
[00:00] <Krixvar> daftykins: yeah, nothing there other than ones I backed up
[00:01] <eeee> Bashing-om: sorry, i didn't understand what you mean
[00:01] <Krixvar> daftykins: do it like normal meaning modprobe/restart lightdm?
[00:01] <eeee> Bashing-om: you mean to exit the chroot?
[00:01] <ImActuallyACat> YOU GUYS FIXED IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!
[00:01] <eeee> Bashing-om: i told him to type exit before sudo reboot
[00:01] <daftykins> Krixvar: yeah your usual crazy method :D
[00:02] <daftykins> eeee: ^5 \o/
[00:02] <Krixvar> daftykins: heh sure, I will in a sec
[00:02] <Krixvar> daftykins: just want to check what it was that got upgraded last night...
[00:02] <eeee> daftykins: ^5 \o/
[00:02] <Bashing-om> eeee: For my learning .. I had expected to unmount all the binds from the change root ? .. Am I missing something ?
[00:02] <eeee> ImActuallyACat: great!
[00:02] <Krixvar> daftykins: I'm just confused how it broke the package to the point I can't run nvidia-xconfig, which one of my friends who did an upgrade this morning still is able to run
[00:02] <daftykins> ImActuallyACat: time to invest in more storage and backup your data, you won't be this lucky again
[00:03] <daftykins> Krixvar: who knows, i deal with the here and now. your systems are not atomically identical ;)
[00:03] <Krixvar> daftykins: haha I know, just odd
[00:04] <ImActuallyACat> eeee: daftykins: you are the absolute best, i honestly am very thankful!
[00:04] <eeee> Bashing-om: don't know, in the ubuntu guide it doesn't say to umount them
[00:04] <ImActuallyACat> eeee: daftykins: i'm going to leave it as is, and never touch it again.
[00:05] <ImActuallyACat> i can now sleep easy. THANK YOU!
[00:05] <eeee> ImActuallyACat: you're most welcome
[00:05] <Krixvar> daftykins: nothing suspicious in the log... rebooting real quick
[00:06] <ImActuallyACat> thanks again guys, i've gotta head now. thank you thank you!
[00:06] <daftykins> ImActuallyACat: take care :)
[00:06] <eeee> :)
[00:08] <Krixvar> daftykins: back, same result.. I don't know if I described it well though, prior to this I would boot and get no graphics at all till I did the modprobe, now I get a login screen at low resolution at least
[00:09] <daftykins> Krixvar: pastebin the Xorg.0.log again please
[00:09] <daftykins> Krixvar: but the one after the modprobe and restart. n
[00:09] <Basketball> in libre calc i have a line graph how can i graph the line of best fit?
[00:09] <daftykins> -n
[00:10] <daftykins> ah Basketball, wonders never cease to amaze me as to what task you ask for assistance with on any given day in here
[00:10] <Krixvar> daftykins: is that just the newest one? After booting up I switched to a tty and ran modprobe then restarted lightdm
[00:11] <daftykins> Krixvar: yeah current file
[00:11] <Dmitry-Rasputin> I added cairo-dock hid the pannel but when i open new applications for a split second the icon slides out of the right side of the screen.  Is there a way to disable that
[00:11] <smart_developer> How do you use ulimit to (1) view, and (2) set, the max # of user processes for a certain user ??
[00:11] <Krixvar> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399896/
[00:11] <eeee> Bashing-om: it appears that the system automatically unmounts them when you run reboot, it's more of a safety measure, and it's very useful if you forget to mount something and chroot and then mount it
[00:12] <eeee> ( as the system won't know about it )
[00:12] <eeee> don't know the specifics, just googled this.. :)
[00:13] <Bashing-om> eeee: Thanks, there is just so much I do not know about this operating system. My former experience was clean up as I go out .
[00:13] <daftykins> Krixvar: it's still reporting nvidia isn't there
[00:13] <daftykins> Krixvar: is it a very modern card?
[00:15] <Krixvar> daftykins: its a 560ti -- 2011 release
[00:16] <usr13> Krixvar: Do you have an xorg.conf file yet?  ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:16] <daftykins> confirmed none, usr13
[00:16] <daftykins> isn't necessary to run nvidia
[00:17] <Krixvar> daftykins: usr13 don't have one, don't think I need it though
[00:17] <daftykins> Krixvar: did you say this is kubuntu?
[00:17] <Krixvar> daftykins: yeah, wasn't sure if this was kubuntu related or just a general driver issue
[00:18] <usr13> Krixvar: If the nvidia module is properly installed, just run nvidia-xconfig
[00:18] <Krixvar> usr13: it can't find the command, not really sure why
[00:19] <daftykins> it really irritates me when someone comes along and makes you repeat everything you've been through
[00:19] <usr13> Krixvar: Only reason would be that you do not have Nvidia's driver modules installed.
[00:20] <Krixvar> usr13: I've reinstalled three drivers multiple times including one from xorg edgers and none of them worked right, even though they appear to be building the module correctly. I've tried manually modprobing the drivers as well
[00:21] <daftykins> usr13: we've been over this and more in the last while, you could have at least scrolled up
[00:21] <usr13> Krixvar: Uninstall all.  Install the correct module
[00:21] <Krixvar> daftykins: so could I possibly need some sort of headers or something to have the drivers install correctly?
[00:21] <Krixvar> usr13: I have, multiple times
[00:21] <usr13> daftykins: Ok, you handle it.
[00:21] <daftykins> i'm sorry i'm totally burnt out now, it's 1:20am so i've got to give up
[00:21] <daftykins> perhaps usr13 can take you through everything we just did again
[00:22] <Krixvar> daftykins: no problem, thank you for helping
[00:22] <daftykins> usr13: i did choose to say to install nvidia-current though, perhaps that's old and rubbish
[00:22] <daftykins> Krixvar: np, sorry we didn't get there, but my eyes are closing :)
[00:22] <usr13> Krixvar: As I said before, uninstall what you have and install correct module.  See nvidia.com
[00:22] <Krixvar> usr13: daftykins: I recall there being a nvidia-modprobe package or something of the sort... that assisted with building the driver module? though I'm not seeing it in the repos anymore
[00:23] <Krixvar> daftykins: I know the feeling haha, don't worry about it
[00:23] <daftykins> we don't tell people to download from nvidia in here
[00:23] <Krixvar> usr13: I've run apt-get uninstall --purge nvidia-*
[00:23] <usr13> Krixvar: Yes.  Do it now
[00:23] <Krixvar> usr13: and have tried nvidia-304, nvidia-331, and nvidia-340 from xorg-edgers
[00:24] <usr13> Krixvar: Then go to nvidia.com and download correct module package
[00:24] <Krixvar> usr13: I was under the impression that we don't use the website because it conflicts with repo packages and breaks badly?
[00:25] <Krixvar> usr13: I've been using proprietary packages from the repos for years now
[00:25] <Krixvar> usr13: or is there a reason to use them that I missed?
[00:26] <nahtnam> I need a little bit of help... I have an MKV file that I need to view. I opened it with the default video manager, and it says that there are some plugins. When I select them all, and press install, it says "Package dependencies cannot be resolved". I tried manually installing the packages, but I noticed that one plguin uninstalls another, so I will always have one umet dependency.
[00:26] <usr13> Krixvar: what does lspci say about your video card?
[00:27] <usr13> nahtnam: Try mplayer
[00:27] <nahtnam> usr13 I already have VLC installed, but I want to get the default player working
[00:27] <Krixvar> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8399962/
[00:28] <usr13> nahtnam: Okie Dokie
[00:29] <usr13> Krixvar: 64bit or 32?
[00:29] <Krixvar> usr13: 64 bit 14.04
[00:30] <pcre_> I have heard intel has great open source driver. Can someone recommend some pciExpress graphic card? Most intel graphic chips ship with CPU.
[00:30] <usr13> Krixvar: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/71303
[00:30] <xangua> nahtnam: have you already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras to install all codecs?
[00:30] <usr13> Krixvar: See your card listed there?
[00:30] <nahtnam> xangua No... How do I do that? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:30] <nahtnam> ?
[00:30] <xangua> nahtnam: correct
[00:31] <Krixvar> usr13: nope, I'm running a 560 ti
[00:31] <nahtnam> xangua Doing it now
[00:32] <usr13> Krixvar: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/77844
[00:32] <usr13> Krixvar: See it there?
[00:32] <Krixvar> usr13: yeah
[00:33] <Krixvar> usr13: I'd rather not install a non repo driver but I can try
[00:33] <usr13> Krixvar: Okie Dokie (you are on your own).
[00:33] <usr13> See you later....
[00:33] <Krixvar> usr13: thanks.. you don't think it'll work with any of the ones in the repo? :/
[00:36] <Krixvar> bleh considering that 14.10 is coming out soon I'm not installing a non repo driver.... if anyone else has suggestions for fixing nvidia drivers without using the ones from the nvidia site I'd be very appreciative! :)
[00:36] <nahtnam> xangua Works! Thanks! :)
[00:40] <smart_developer> Hi, in my /etc/security/limits.conf file I have :
[00:41] <smart_developer> myapplication soft nproc 20
[00:41] <smart_developer> myapplication hard nproc 20
[00:41] <smart_developer> I want it so that the max number of processes spawned for my application is 20
[00:41] <smart_developer> However, "ps aux" reveals that there are 30
[00:41] <smart_developer> Does anyone know how to correctly adjust this ?
[00:43] <catalase> anyone know how to force update a package from a repository
[00:44] <catalase> i use btsync and have added the correct repository, but it continues to say that i have the latest version while i do not
[00:44] <catalase> using 14.04 lts server btw
[00:45] <SchrodingersScat> catalase: what repo did you add for btsync?
[00:45] <Bashing-om> !info btsync
[00:45] <SchrodingersScat> Bashing-om: afaik it didn't have one, unless there's a ppa
[00:46] <catalase> the tuxpoldo ppa
[00:46] <catalase> ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
[00:46] <ryan_46> cat ls
[00:46] <Bashing-om> SchrodingersScat: What I gathered also ( apt-cache show ) .
[00:46] <smacktalk> anyone know how to format a usb thumb drive?
[00:47] <samthewildone> smacktalk, what file system ?
[00:47] <smacktalk> fat 32...whatevers compatible with esxi
[00:47] <catalase> SchrodingersScat, i'm sure it's the correct one
[00:48] <smart_developer> SchrodingersScat : Do you by any chance know why the nproc limit I have set in /etc/security/limits.conf isn't being effective ?
[00:48] <smart_developer> In that file I have set it to 20 processes for my application/user.
[00:48] <samthewildone> smart_developer, use windows
[00:48] <samthewildone> err
[00:48] <samthewildone> smacktalk, use windows
[00:48] <smart_developer> But "ps aux" shows that there are 30 processes for it running.
[00:48] <eeee> smacktalk: mkfs.fat
[00:49] <smart_developer> samthewildone : That's not an option here.
[00:49] <SchrodingersScat> catalase: what's it reporting and what does the repo say it should be?
[00:49] <catalase> it is reporting that package btsync is the latest version
[00:49] <catalase> and the repo should be ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
[00:50] <catalase> but it continues to say i have latest version when i do not
[00:51] <smart_developer> Sorry, my IRC client closed just a moment ago, so if anyone answered the question, could they repost it ?
[00:51] <smart_developer> Thanks.
[00:51] <smart_developer> :)
[01:01] <detlev55> hallo
[01:02] <detlev55> hallo
[01:03] <eeee> detlev55: hello
[01:03] <detlev55> hello
[01:03] <detlev55> where are you?
[01:05]  * eeee <----- here
[01:13] <Ranieri_> txt keeps popping up in my terminal: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[01:16] <daftykins> Ranieri_: sounds like you have disk issues
[01:16] <Ranieri_> daftykins: HDD's have cache, mine doesn't I think... I'm on a lenova ideapad s10
[01:17] <daftykins> all HDDs have cache.
[01:17] <Ranieri_> Not sure
[01:17] <daftykins> no they do, guaranteed
[01:17] <Ranieri_> Flash memory?
[01:17] <daftykins> no, memory chips
[01:17] <Ranieri_> oh
[01:17] <daftykins> e.g. 500GB HDD with 8MB cache
[01:17] <Ranieri_> Yea
[01:18] <old_penguin> Has anyone tried loading Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo X1-Carbon Ultrabook?
[01:18] <Ranieri_> I think I fixed it
[01:18] <Ranieri_> sudo rmmod ums_realtek
[01:18] <Ranieri_> Anyone knows what that command does? (rmmod ums_realtek)?
[01:19] <eeee> looks like it removes module, just guessing
[01:19] <Ranieri_> ^ -__- Thank you.
[01:20] <daftykins> old_penguin: are you considering buying one, or?
[01:23] <old_penguin> daftykins: I have an X1-Carbon and I would like to know it's compatibility before spending many hours setting up a Ubuntu environment on it.
[01:23] <daftykins> old_penguin: booting a live session does not take many hours
[01:24] <old_penguin> daftykins:  That's a great idea.
[01:24] <minimec> old_penguin: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201403-14827/
[01:25] <old_penguin> daftykins:  The X1 Carbon has a Win7 Partition for reloading the OS.  If I wanted to install Ubuntu over the Win7 OS but later would want to reinstall Win7 over Ubuntu, would the Ubuntu install wipe out that partition as well?
[01:26] <old_penguin> minimec:  Thanks...
[01:27] <smart_developer> Why aren't changes to /etc/security/limits.conf, for setting the max number of processes for a user/application, taking effect ?
[01:27] <smart_developer> I've tried re-SSH'ing into my server
[01:27] <smart_developer> And even tried a reboot.
[01:28] <smart_developer> I'd like the max number of processes for my_application to be 20
[01:28] <smart_developer> However, "ps aux" still shows that there are 30.
[01:28] <smart_developer> Does anyone know what needs to be done / what is going wrong here ?
[01:28] <nezZario> what's did you put in the file?
[01:29] <nezZario> it should be just one line
[01:31] <daftykins> old_penguin: it'll likely offer software to burn DVDs / make ISOs of restore media of windows 7, but you can find legal windows downloads to be used with the keys on your machine to install with anyway so it doesn't matter
[01:33] <smart_developer> nezZario : myapplication soft nproc 20
[01:33] <smart_developer> myapplication hard nproc 20
[01:33] <smart_developer> (So I put in 2 lines)
[01:34] <smart_developer> I wasn't exactly sure about the nature of "soft limit" vs "hard limit", and saw some examples using both.
[01:34] <smart_developer> So I decided, to be safe, just to go ahead and use both.
[01:36] <smart_developer> nezZario : Basically, it seems that my application is ignoring the nproc limits that I set in /etc/security/limits.conf
[01:37] <nezZario> Well, it would not be the application
[01:38] <SchrodingersScat> smart_developer: and you have a user/group for that application?
[01:42] <smart_developer> SchrodingersScat : The user/group for the application is just the application's name.
[01:42] <smart_developer> SchrodingersScat : So, yes.
[01:42] <smart_developer> The application is called my_app, user is my_app, and group is my_app.
[01:46] <akurilin> Steam question: has anybody figured out how to use steam to download content onto disk and then use Wine to run it?
[01:46] <akurilin> Windows apps.
[01:46] <brent> hmm
[01:46] <brent> could you run steam from within wine first?
[01:46] <old_penguin> daftykins:  I didn't realize I can redownload the ISO's as long as I have the keys.  You mean the serial on the back of the computer?
[01:47] <daftykins> yes the certificate of authenticity
[01:47] <daftykins> anyway, Windows is off topic here
[01:47] <evil_dan2wik> brent, steam doesn't run well in wine
[01:47] <evil_dan2wik> as in, it doesn't run at all
[01:47] <smart_developer> SchrodingersScat : What's your suggestion ?
[01:47] <brent> lol
[01:48] <brent> ok i dont use wine
[01:48] <akurilin> The reason I'm asking is because steam is available in the ubuntu partner repos, but it seems semi-useless
[01:48] <akurilin> I'm guessing you can get some Linux versions on there
[01:48] <brent> i tried to get photoshop working once
[01:48] <brent> what a headache that was. the day adobe supports linux is the day ill remove windows
[01:48] <evil_dan2wik> akurilin, you would need to download the game in windows, check if it needs stream to run, if it does then you need to code up a steamapi.dll that works inside wine to the steam running in ubuntu.
[01:49] <brent> adobe photoshop rather
[01:49] <evil_dan2wik> and then you would be lucky if the game runs in wine anyway.
[01:49] <evil_dan2wik> akurilin, but, around 30% of steam games are ported to linux now anyway.
[01:49] <daftykins> this is a support channel for ubuntu, not a place for your nostalgic tales of WINE, guys
[01:49] <Vampire-bill> want to copy my old drive to new ssd what is best method 14.04
[01:49] <evil_dan2wik> Vampire-bill, dd
[01:50] <SchrodingersScat> akurilin: you could maybe even use steamCMD to install it to a directory, not sure if that's recommended though.  Not sure how steam would react.
[01:50] <akurilin> evil_dan2wik: that makes sense, thank you
[01:50] <SchrodingersScat> smart_developer: no idea, never had to limit processes before.
[01:50] <brent> Vampire-bill: im interested to know this too, im looking at doing the same soon
[01:51] <evil_dan2wik> brent, dd
[01:51] <akurilin> SchrodingersScat: neat, never heard of that
[01:51] <evil_dan2wik> dd works fine.
[01:51] <Vampire-bill> ok what is dd
[01:51] <evil_dan2wik> dd is a low level IO transfer thing I think. But it works well with full hard drive clones
[01:52] <Vampire-bill> do drives have to be same size
[01:52] <evil_dan2wik> the target drive needs to be the same size or bigger, otherwise you need to re-size the partition before you transfer it
[01:53] <Vampire-bill> yeah it is way smaller so i guess i will just have to do a fresh install
[01:53] <Vampire-bill> that sucks took me weeks to get firefox working right
[01:53] <eeee> Vampire-bill: is the used size smaller?
[01:53] <evil_dan2wik> Vampire-bill, how full is the drive?
[01:53] <Vampire-bill> thank you for your help
[01:54] <eeee> Vampire-bill: you could remove all the unused space
[01:54] <Vampire-bill> the old drive is 1T new drive ssd 120g
[01:54] <evil_dan2wik> Vampire-bill, yes, but do you have more than 120G of files on it?
[01:54] <Vampire-bill> no
[01:54] <brent> Has anyone managed to get Ubunutu Desktop 14.04 working with RDP from windows?
[01:55] <daftykins> Vampire-bill: use clonezilla
[01:55] <evil_dan2wik> Use something like Gparted to shrink the partition on the 1T drive to be as small as you can.
[01:55] <daftykins> brent: define 'working with RDP' - can it connect to windows systems using RDP clients like Remmina? yes
[01:55] <Vampire-bill> ok thank you all have a goodnight here we go wish me luck
[01:55] <evil_dan2wik> so, if it has 60GB of files on it, shink it to 65GB
[01:55] <brent> No it can't
[01:56] <brent> how did you pull that of?
[01:56] <daftykins> brent: ... works fine all the time
[01:56] <brent> from Unity?
[01:56] <daftykins> yes...
[01:56] <brent> 14.04..
[01:56] <eeee> evil_dan2wik: he doesn't have to shrink anything, just dd the /dev/zero somewhere and delete it
[01:56] <brent> ?
[01:56] <daftykins> brent: i am not going to sit here and repeat myself
[01:57] <brent> Im just shocked, all the googling ive done and everyone says it doesnt work
[01:58] <brent> the end result has been that everyone has had to either use VNC, or install another desktop too
[01:58] <daftykins> brent: so you didn't try first hand?
[01:58] <brent> ive tried for hours
[02:00] <EOBeav> I have a 14.04 live USB. Is there a way to have it keep certain settings after I quit an Ubuntu session?
[02:01] <eeee> EOBeav: make the usb persistent
[02:01] <EOBeav> eeee: Is that an option somewhere?
[02:02] <eeee> EOBeav: unetbootin has it
[02:02] <eeee> EOBeav: you specify the size of the space used for persistence when you make the usb
[02:02] <EOBeav> k, I think that's how I made that disk in te first place.
[02:02] <EOBeav> Got it...I'll go back and reinstall it with that option. Thanks.
[02:03] <eeee> np
[02:06] <brent> daftykins: did you have any troubles with Reminna server? or it just works?
[02:07] <daftykins> i tried to make my questions clear so that we were talking about the same thing at the start
[02:07] <daftykins> < daftykins> brent: define 'working with RDP' - can it connect to windows systems
[02:07] <daftykins>                    using RDP clients like Remmina? yes
[02:07] <urielvigilant> If i need to install Lubuntu or Ubuntu 14.04.1 in a new laptop later, to get all my stuffs, like settings and drivers for scan and printer, or make wifi detectable and other like playing DVDi just need to copy Home folder to the new laptop and instalation Ubuntu or Lubuntu?
[02:07] <daftykins> ^ Ubuntu -> connect to Windows RDP host
[02:07] <daftykins> that's what i was talking about.
[02:09] <brent> sorry, i didnt make my question clear. although i did say "from windows"
[02:09] <brent> meaning WINDOWS > Ubuntu
[02:09] <daftykins> i only use systems remotely via SSH
[02:09] <evil_dan2wik> vnc?
[02:09] <daftykins> maybe you should play with teamviewer
[02:09] <brent> so do i..
[02:10] <daftykins> VNC isn't secure
[02:10] <daftykins> brent: really? that's odd because you're asking about how to graphically use them remotely :)
[02:10] <brent> different servers buddy, i dont need to explain that because its not my question
[02:11] <daftykins> w...what?
[02:11] <daftykins> brent: you're not making any sense so i am no longer going to participate in this conversation
[02:12] <brent> i appreciate that, you've been lost since the start
[02:12] <eeee> urielvigilant: no, it's not that simple
[02:12] <daftykins> now now, i explained myself clearly and you got the wrong end of the stick. let's not turn this into some rude exchange
[02:12] <daftykins> i'm off to bed, later all
[02:13] <eeee> nighty daftykins
[02:13] <brent> its fine :) cya
[02:13] <urielvigilant> eeee  how it is then ?
[02:15] <eeee> urielvigilant: you can get a list of installed packages, and install them on the new machine, as for your settings, you can copy your /home directory
[02:16] <eeee> urielvigilant: interested?
[02:19] <eeee> urielvigilant: another way to do it would be to dd the installation
[02:22] <cmanns__> Is older ubuntus fine to run now days security wise?
[02:23] <cmanns__> I have an old slow p4/2gb ram/845GL graphics that runs slow with lubuntu recent 2 versions
[02:23] <urielvigilant> eeee i have to study deeply that options!
[02:23] <rww> cmanns__: the only ubuntu versions receiving desktop security support are 12.04 and 14.04.
[02:23] <skulltip> Wow.. thunderbird has chat and I can use the irc :)
[02:24] <cmanns__> What was last time hardy was updated by chance?
[02:24] <cmanns__> I need a package it has too :S
[02:24] <eeee> urielvigilant: it's very easy, if you don't mind downloading the packages again, you can use the first method. If you have another hdd or usb and don't mind using it as the backup installation, you can use the dd method, it'll also save you from downloading everything again.
[02:24] <rww> hardy desktop? 2011
[02:25] <cmanns__> ah not bad
[02:25] <cmanns__> Yeah need old version of flightgear
[02:25] <cmanns__> seems 1.0.0 was last built for hardy
[02:26] <cmanns__> 2004 computer with 2011 updates for just internet browsing of non secure data and flightgear game not bad
[02:26] <eeee> urielvigilant: i think the 1st option would be better though
[02:27] <rww> cmanns__: it also hasn't been supported in *here* since 2011, so hopefully you have no problems with it.
[02:27] <cmanns__> I can deal with it
[02:27] <cmanns__> If it installs and boots fine we'll use it vs windows
[02:27] <cmanns__> We can't compile flightgear 1.0.0 on newer ubuntus
[02:28] <bashfr3ak> do i need a valid hostname at /etc/hostname to connect to irc ?
[02:28] <cmanns__> not that I know of
[02:29] <bashfr3ak> i see, because i changed my hostname to some gibberish and my xchat stopped connecting properly right after that ...
[02:30] <cmanns__> Weird maybe you do then :S
[02:30] <urielvigilant> eeee thanks
[02:30] <cmanns__> oh it has to be valid in sense point to localhost I suppose or maybe edited it wrong
[02:32] <cmanns__> I deal with mostly unix servers and that is true some programs loose connectivity if you do the /etc/hosts file wrong.
[02:33] <katronix> Greetings all, I need to install Ubuntu w/o touch screen support is that at all possible?
[02:34] <Noskcaj> katronix, May i ask why?
[02:34] <smart_developer> Re-phrasing a question I asked earlier - How do you limit the number of processes for a certain application?
[02:34] <katronix> Noskcaj, my touch screen is cracked so it sees thousands of mouse clicks on the crack
[02:34] <bashfr3ak> cmanns__ like gibberish.localhost ?
[02:34] <smart_developer> Let's say that that application is called "my_application"
[02:34] <smart_developer> Thanks :)
[02:34] <cmanns__> hmmm
[02:35] <Noskcaj> katronix, ok, i'll try and find something on it then
[02:35] <bashfr3ak> or gibberish.localdomain maybe ?
[02:35] <cmanns__> I think you would need to do gibberish.localhost gibberish localhost
[02:35] <cmanns__> yeah add that also
[02:35] <cmanns__> Well
[02:35] <cmanns__> pastebin what it says default maybe or ill boot a vm in a min im in competitive csgo lol
[02:35] <bashfr3ak> lol np not a big deal
[02:35] <bashfr3ak> ill try that later
[02:35] <bashfr3ak> ty
[02:36] <cmanns__> np
[02:36] <cmanns__> reset your etc hosts
[02:36] <cmanns__> and try "hostname gibberish" and see
[02:38] <Noskcaj> katronix, I'm on xubuntu currently, so i can search for where in the settings the option is. It should be there somewhere
[02:38] <Noskcaj> !patience
[02:40] <bashfr3ak> hmm, it seems the problem is with xchat
[02:44] <katronix> Noskcaj, do you think the 3rd answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/198572/how-do-i-disable-the-touchscreen-drivers should still work?
[02:45] <Noskcaj> should do
[02:45] <Noskcaj> if the first solution didn't
[02:51] <katronix> Noskcaj,of course the next q then is how do I do this with the live disk to turnoff while installing
[02:52] <Noskcaj> katronix, the same might work, or you could use the mini iso
[02:52] <Noskcaj> !netboot
[03:02] <backbox> XD
[03:06] <bonez2046> I can't get USB working on my samsung s3, can't get that to talk with my 14.04 ubuntu box
[03:06] <ashashwat> Can anyone point me to a working link to install Ubuntu 14.04 on MacBookPro8,1 (late 2011) model ?  I tried various resources, to no avail. :(
[03:07] <somsip> !mac | ashashwat
[03:07] <ashashwat> I want to install vis USB and it always gives me "No operating system found".
[03:08] <ashashwat> ubottu: I followed the tutorial given on wiki [ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx ] but it did not work.
[03:09] <ashashwat> oops !
[03:10] <bonez2046> I'd like an unintelligent yet useful answer, ubottu
[03:15] <reisio> bonez2046: can accommodate! :)
[03:16] <bonez2046> reisio: ok , how can I reenable usb on my galaxy s3?
[03:18] <reisio> bonez2046: do what?
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> for those who are interested, rtm version has been released for ubuntu-touch join #ubuntu-touch for info
[03:19] <reisio> rtm? Heh
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> reisio: join, ill paste you url :p
[03:19] <reisio> if I had money I'd get a proper GNU/Linux phone
[03:19] <reisio> oh just the terminology gives me a giggle is all :D
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> reisio: meizu will release one in december
[03:20] <reisio> lotuspsychje: know the price?
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> reisio: not yet, but it will be high end phone
[03:21] <bonez2046> reisio: I can't connect my galaxy s3 to my 14.04 box....mtp doesn't recognize when I plug it in
[03:21] <lotuspsychje> reisio: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-Touch-RTM-Officially-Released-Screenshot-Tour-459170.shtml
[03:22] <reisio> bonez2046: you don't have a wireless router?
[03:22] <reisio> bonez2046: or bluetooth?
[03:25] <lotuspsychje> bonez2046: did you enable usb debugging on your galaxy?
[03:26] <bonez2046> I have wireless router, but I want to transfer songs to phone from ubuntu box
[03:26] <bonez2046> yet the phone won't connect;
[03:26] <bonez2046> lotuspsychje: where do I enable usb debugging?
[03:26] <bonez2046> please advise
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> bonez2046: you need to enable developer mode first on your phone
[03:28] <raspberrypifan> so i have ubuntu installed on a machien but its all corrupted and i want to reinstall
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> bonez2046: then enable usb debugging from developer mode, then mtp will work
[03:28] <raspberrypifan> but im doing it via distance for my mom and she cant seem to get her uefi machine to show the usb stick
[03:28] <raspberrypifan> can i force ubuntu into some recovery mode
[03:28] <alvaro> Boa Noite a Todos!!!
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: hold shift at boot for grub=> and choose ubuntu recoverymode
[03:29] <raspberrypifan> it doesnt show that option
[03:29] <raspberrypifan> it shows the advanced recovery screen but no options
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: choose the second line under your normal ubuntu line
[03:30] <raspberrypifan> there isnt one
[03:30] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[03:30] <raspberrypifan> the problem is getting the usb key to boot
[03:30] <raspberrypifan> i dont remember how i installed it on her machine but im 2000 miles away, so i just text her how to do it
[03:30] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: bios set to usb first
[03:31] <raspberrypifan> apparently that isnt an option
[03:31] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: most recent bios have that option
[03:32] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: f12 can give boot menu on some machines also
[03:32] <raspberrypifan> she keeps trying and nothing happens at all
[03:32] <raspberrypifan> or so she says
[03:32] <raspberrypifan> ive looked at the pictures and it just shows the HDD twice and a lan boot option
[03:32] <raspberrypifan> nothing more
[03:32] <raspberrypifan> its a very new machien
[03:32] <reisio> bonez2046: it's easiest to use wireless, phones are wireless devices
[03:33] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: some bios have 2 settings for boot
[03:33] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: boot sequence and boot order
[03:34] <raspberrypifan> hat could be the issues, its quite hard to troubleshoot from a distance
[03:34] <raspberrypifan> is there anyway i could get into her machine before ubuntu boots, since the interent is not working on ubuntu
[03:34] <reisio> not any simple way
[03:35] <raspberrypifan> well then i have to hope my mom will press he right keys somehow
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: skype the webcam towards the pc with another laptop
[03:35] <reisio> heh
[03:35] <reisio> classic
[03:35] <raspberrypifan> i tried but the resolution is not good enough to read
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> lol
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: you said ubuntu was corrupted, whats the part it get stuck?
[03:37] <raspberrypifan> no internet and i had a horrible issue with apt-get that no one could resolve on this channel
[03:37] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: so you can still enter desktop?
[03:37] <raspberrypifan> yes
[03:37] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: ubuntu version?
[03:38] <raspberrypifan> the latest one
[03:38] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: your mom havent got eth cable?
[03:38] <raspberrypifan> i havent asked i suspect not
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: that would be nice to update..can you check wich wifi chipset?
[03:40] <raspberrypifan> no idea its a dell inspiron r15
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: lshw -C network
[03:40] <raspberrypifan> well shes not online now
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: her wifi worked before?
[03:41] <raspberrypifan> yes it was fine
[03:41] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: broke after an update?
[03:41] <raspberrypifan> idk there were issues with skype
[03:41] <raspberrypifan> then i tried to fix netflix
[03:42] <raspberrypifan> which i did and hten she said the wifi icon disappeared then i tried to fix apt and i killed it
[03:42] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: what did you do exactly to fix netflix?
[03:42] <raspberrypifan> the problem was i added an extra libnss
[03:43] <raspberrypifan> and which caused some dependancy issue
[03:43] <raspberrypifan> which could not be resolved so itried to delete all of the libnss
[03:43] <raspberrypifan> which sitll didnt fix it and it killed hthe wifi
[03:43] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: tell her to check additional drivers section, maybe some wifi drivers to enable there
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> otherwise eth cable
[03:44] <raspberrypifan> hmm
[03:44] <raspberrypifan> and if eth no work?
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: we need to findout why wifi icon is gone
[03:44] <raspberrypifan> but the problem with the dependecies still remains and no one in here could even give me an idea
[03:44] <raspberrypifan> of how to fix it, i cant use apt at all for anything or aptitude
[03:44] <raspberrypifan> nothing would work
[03:45] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: if wifi is gone, you cant install nothing right
[03:45] <raspberrypifan> even if i get eth then i cant update or fix any of the issues
[03:45] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: if you have eth connection we could sort it out
[03:46] <raspberrypifan> well ill tell her
[03:46] <raspberrypifan> to get an eth cable
[03:46] <lotuspsychje> raspberrypifan: dependecies issue should be fixable
[03:47] <lotuspsychje> ok good luck
[03:47] <raspberrypifan> who knows
[03:47] <bugzee> hello, where can I find the total size of all of trusty 64 and 32 bit, universe, multiverse, security, updates repositories?
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> !repo | bugzee
[03:49] <bugzee> I know that already, but is there a page on the ubuntu packages website where I can find the total size in gigabytes of all those sections?
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> bugzee: you want to know the total size of all packages?
[03:50] <bugzee> yes, as if I were creating a mirror, I would like to know how much I am downloading
[03:50] <reisio> bugzee: search for 'ubuntu' + 'mirror'
[03:50] <loa> hello. what you can tell about nouveau? is it ready to use?
[03:51] <lotuspsychje> !nouveau | loa
[03:51] <loa> lotuspsychje, how i can check if use opensource driver?
[03:52] <loa> i see module called "nvidia" in lsmod
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> loa: check your additional drivers list
[03:53] <loa> lotuspsychje, yes, looks like i use proprietary stuff.
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> loa: normally ubuntu chooses your best driver
[03:54] <loa> lotuspsychje, what do you think i need to do if i want play 3d games?
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> loa: but you can testout yourself other drivers
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> loa: testout games for yourself, see the result
[04:05] <RahulAN> hii all
[04:08] <hdtune2k> hi
[04:10] <sayash> Anyone here got a howto for bitlbee + bip + weechat - how to have all of them unify all sorts of IM?
[04:12] <unik> can someone tell me what's the ubuntu free chatting channel?
[04:12] <somsip> !ot | unik
[04:13] <unik> thanks
[04:24] <Kane_> What would the recommended version be these days for basic Website / Server. I know before people said use 12 but now i see there is 13 and 14 I think?
[04:24] <cfhowlett> problem: full /home i.e. 100%         login is followed by ... user screen but no response to mouse or keyboard.  goal:  boot live session and delete /home files selectively.  How to proceed?
[04:24] <cfhowlett> Kane_, 14.04.1       long term support and current version
[04:24] <Kane_> Thanks :)
[04:24] <cfhowlett> Kane_, but you can confer with #ubuntu-server as well
[04:25] <Kane_> ty
[04:29] <allyai> hey guys. first time using ubuntu really so im trying to figure out what to do first. reading this guide and kinda stuck at a part. http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr
[04:29] <allyai> ive used ubuntu before, but not for very long
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> allyai: depends what you need mate
[04:30] <allyai> i'm stuck on the LibDVDCSS part
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> allyai: i always install vlc and rar after,
[04:30] <allyai> like winrar?
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> allyai: what are you trying to do?
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> !info rar | allyai
[04:31] <allyai> ahh. well, i'd like to use ubuntu as my main OS
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> allyai: smart choice!
[04:32] <pavlos> step 7 ?
[04:32] <allyai> currently running windows 7 alongside ubuntu 14.04
[04:32] <allyai> step 3 right before step 4
[04:36] <pavlos> allyai, I copy/pasted that whole thing and it did stuff, gave me OK
[04:37] <allyai> ahhh
[04:37] <allyai> i stopped at the &&
[04:38] <pavlos> allyai, no, copy/paste the whole thing as one line
[04:38] <allyai> when i do sudo apt-get update i get: E: Type ''deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
[04:40] <eeee> allyai: how did you add that ppa? looks like it's 'deb instead of deb
[04:40] <pavlos> allyai, try again, copy the whole line (it turns blue in my terminal), then paste it and it will run
[04:40] <edgar_> hello
[04:41] <deviprasad> hi
[04:41] <allyai> the long one or the sudo apt-get update?
[04:41] <allyai> pavlos:
[04:42] <joshuasm32> I am trying to download packages in an archive file and run their programs.
[04:42] <joshuasm32> Such as with the Tor Browser Bundle
[04:42] <zemis0ls0l> hi
[04:42] <zemis0ls0l> hi
[04:42] <joshuasm32> there is a file that others can open, presenting an option to run it
[04:42] <joshuasm32> i have seen this in tutorials and in other linux versions
[04:43] <joshuasm32> in the latest version of ubuntu, it instead opens in gedit
[04:43] <joshuasm32> is there a way to run a program from a package in the latest version of ubuntu?
[04:43] <joshuasm32> please state if i need to clarify
[04:44] <pavlos> allyai, http://pastebin.com/zxYQGEEd
[04:44] <zemis0ls0l> hi!!
[04:44] <joshuasm32> hi.
[04:44] <somsip> zemis0ls0l: just ask your question...
[04:44] <joshuasm32> lol
[04:44] <allyai> pavlos: yeah that worked, but then doing sudo apt-get update after that gave me that message
[04:45] <joshuasm32> More information:
[04:45] <joshuasm32> The file I would like to run is a shell script (application/x-shellscript).
[04:45] <joshuasm32> How do I run this file as in other Linux Distros rather than opening it in gedit?
[04:46] <somsip> joshuasm32: Your question is not clear, but possibly right click and Save As, then make sure it's executasble ( chmod +x {filename} ) then run it
[04:47] <joshuasm32> Better clarification: http://youtu.be/s-idohEY_yM?t=2m30s
[04:47] <pavlos> allyai, I just did a sudo apt-get update and got no errors
[04:47] <somsip> joshuasm32: I'm not watching a 5 minute video...
[04:47] <joshuasm32> This is a tutorial where a user is able to open a specific file
[04:47] <joshuasm32> It starts at one points
[04:47] <joshuasm32> 10 seconds
[04:48] <joshuasm32> When opening, they can run it
[04:48] <joshuasm32> In by case, it is opened in gedit
[04:48] <pavlos> allyai, do you know how to edit files? if so, you might have to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list text file
[04:48] <joshuasm32> I'm a newb of sort, so I was wondering how to do this.
[04:48] <allyai> pavlos: not really
[04:48] <yahya> slm
[04:49] <allyai> also, at the top of my screen by my wifi signal i have a red circle with a horizontal white line through it
[04:49] <joshuasm32> In a few seconds of this video, starting at http://youtu.be/s-idohEY_yM?t=2m30s (2m 30s), a user can open a script and run it.  When I do the same in a later version of Ubuntu, it opens in gedit.  How do I run the file instead?
[04:50] <joshuasm32> I am using the same file with no modifications.
[04:50] <pavlos> first, sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list              hopefully it will be deleted
[04:50] <yahya> salam
[04:50] <pavlos> allyai, then re copy/paste that long command and run it again
[04:51] <allyai> pavlos: that did it
[04:52] <joshuasm32> Should I show an image instead of part of the video?
[04:52] <joshuasm32> Its only 2 seconds BTW, not the whole thing.
[04:53] <joshuasm32> Fine, how is http://oi58.tinypic.com/t4wvtf.jpg done?
[04:53] <joshuasm32> When I open the same file, it is opened in gedit
[04:53] <Scroll_Tro0l> Hey, I just tried the #winehq but had no luck. I'm just wondering if I need to do something special for a wine-run program to access the mysql server on ubuntu?
[04:54] <gatis> Hi
[04:54] <joshuasm32> Hi.
[04:54] <somsip> joshuasm32: and you want to do what? Execute the file or display the contents?
[04:54] <joshuasm32> Yes, thank you.
[04:54] <gatis> I have application in ~/.local/share/applications but it doesn't show up in Lubuntu menu? Why so?
[04:54] <somsip> joshuasm32: that as "or" question. So you need to answer with one of the options, not say "yes"
[04:55] <joshuasm32> execute the file
[04:55] <somsip> joshuasm32: click the button that says "Run" or "Run in Terminal"
[04:55] <joshuasm32> i do not see that dialogue, rather the file is opened in gedit when opening it
[04:55] <joshuasm32> immidiately
[04:55] <joshuasm32> how do I run it?  thankyou for the help
[04:56] <somsip> joshuasm32: your defaul file handlers are wrong then, and I don't know how to fix that as I don't use Unity or Nautilus. Open a terminal, go to where you downloaded the file, and run it like that
[04:56] <pavlos> allyai, good
[04:57] <allyai> thank you :D
[04:57] <gatis> Anyone please?
[04:58] <pavlos> allyai, np ... I would skip step 6, might be huge
[04:58] <gatis> I have application in ~/.local/share/applications but it doesn't show up in Lubuntu menu? I don't see wine in menu. But i see it in ~/.local/share/applications and /usr/share/applications Why so?
[04:59] <joshuasm32> This worked.  :)
[04:59] <joshuasm32> I do not remember changing my file handler.  I did a fresh install on another device, and the same occurred with no modifications made.
[04:59] <joshuasm32> Is this due to an Ubuntu update?
[05:00] <allyai> pavlos: anything important i need to learn if i want to eventually use ubuntu as my main os?
[05:00] <somsip> joshuasm32: if you're asking me, no idea as I don't use Unity or Nautilus
[05:00] <pavlos> allyai, patience :)
[05:00] <joshuasm32> Sorry, just a general question.
[05:00] <somsip> joshuasm32: ok - I'll leave it to the channel then
[05:00] <joshuasm32> Thanks.  :)
[05:01] <spearhead> joshuasm32, are you trying to open the file via the downloads window in Firefox?
[05:02] <joshuasm32> No, see this image http://oi58.tinypic.com/t4wvtf.jpg
[05:02] <joshuasm32> When I do the same as shown in this screenshot from a tutorial, the file is opened in gedit.
[05:03] <joshuasm32> Rather than opening the dialogue shown.
[05:03] <joshuasm32> Using Terminal works, but how do I fix my file handler?  This is occurring with Ubuntu out of the box with no modifications yet, and I think it may be due to an update.
[05:03] <loa> what difference between nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-updates ?
[05:04] <Securi7> Josh, you need to change the Default File Open Application from the file properties just like in Windows.
[05:04] <loa> and what meen legace binary driver?
[05:04] <joshuasm32> But what application should it be set to?
[05:04] <Securi7> Increased performance, Loa.
[05:05] <loa> Securi7, in updates or what?
[05:05] <Securi7> Josh, what's the file of?
[05:05] <joshuasm32> shell script (application/x-shellscript)
[05:05] <joshuasm32> when i open it, it runs gedit and shows the code
[05:06] <Securi7> Simply, the software & hardware interaction is optimizated making things a little more smoother , Loa.
[05:06] <joshuasm32> i would like to have this dialogue instead http://oi58.tinypic.com/t4wvtf.jpg
[05:06] <loa> Securi7, so it is better to use updates version?
[05:07] <spearhead> joshuasm32, http://askubuntu.com/questions/286621/how-do-i-run-executable-scripts-in-nautilus
[05:07] <urielvigilant> iam trying to install directx 9 in console typing wine directx_apr2006_redist.exe
[05:07] <Securi7> Of course, that's why they provide it, Loa.
[05:08] <urielvigilant> i got ; Command line sinthax error ??? Why
[05:08] <joshuasm32> Thank you so much!
[05:08] <urielvigilant> A box appears saying that!
[05:08] <joshuasm32> This has been bothering me for some time.
[05:08] <spearhead> np
[05:08] <Securi7> Josh, you need to reinstall the tor-browser package? Or set the script to run from the Terminal I suppose.
[05:08] <loa> Securi7, why then there so many different options.
[05:09] <Securi7> Options such as?
[05:09] <loa> Securi7, versions.
[05:09] <spearhead> Securi7, he was just trying to run an exicutable script from Nautilus
[05:10] <squinty> urielvigilant:  might want to ask in the #winehq channel on freenode is no luck here
[05:10] <Securi7> The versios I suppose differ in features or are just *marketing* strategy, Loa.
[05:11] <honeybone82> should i have a root account
[05:11] <gatis> honeybone82: of course
[05:11] <honeybone82> how to make one
[05:12] <Securi7> Ubuntu is a headache when it comes to Software Center.
[05:12] <spearhead> honeybone82, there is a root account by default but in ubuntu the password is disabled by default. but you can do everything you need to with sudo
[05:12] <spearhead> !sudo | honeybone82
[05:13] <Securi7> So many tweaks to do before you install a software..
[05:13] <squinty> honeybone82:  ubunto doesn't include setting up a default root account.  you should have adminstrative options though by using sudo or su to access root type functions
[05:13] <honeybone82> i know sudo but some stuff doesnt work with it
[05:14] <honeybone82> what if the account has to have root but doesnt take sudo
[05:14] <spearhead> honeybone82, do you have a specific example? I have not run across anything that doesn't work with sudo
[05:14] <honeybone82> im sorry i cant think of any atm ill have to get back to you
[05:14] <jj995> how can I limit Ubuntu to 1 core (for performance testing)? I tried adding "maxcpus=1" to /etc/default/grub, update-grub and rebooting, but /proc/cpuinfo still shows 32 cores.  is this right? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8401263/
[05:15] <zemis0ls0l> ?
[05:15] <zemis0ls0l> 11
[05:17] <Elimin8er> I got what I hope to be a simple question/answer, anyhow, I have read the website for packaging new software.. seems simple enough. problem is. I want to package a source directory that was cloned from git.. anyhow, I can configure and compile with no problem.. but the bzr commands that the url lists dont work with that state.. but the test hello.tar.gz sample worked with no problem.. anything I might need to do extra ?
[05:19] <matty_r> G'day all, just after some advice with configuring Unity in 14.04. I keep hearing about compiz configuration but can't seem to find it, do I need to install an additional program?
[05:20] <matty_r> I'm trying to improve graphics performance.
[05:20] <pavlos> jj995, I think you have to edit /etc/grub.conf   ... see http://www.techtrunch.com/linux/disable-cores-of-a-cpu
[05:20] <jj995> Elimin8er: I learned how to package my software recently, and if I recall I couldn't get the bzr commands to work either.  I also use git.  Try using debuild as described here: https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging
[05:21] <Elimin8er> jj995, thanks ill give it a read and try.. yea i dont understand why it wont work with git..
[05:21] <Elimin8er> thats really all I use when I get my source
[05:23] <jj995> Elimin8er: the folks at #ubuntu-packaging are very helpful too
[05:23] <mendax> what is the deal
[05:23] <mendax> havent came here in a while
[05:23] <Elimin8er> jj995, thanks man..
[05:24] <gioan> hello world
[05:24] <jj995> pavlos: /etc/grub.conf doesn't exist on my system, but /etc/default/grub does and I already tried adding maxcpus=1 to it -- should I create /etc/grub.conf ?
[05:24] <gioan> i am new ubuntu studio
[05:24] <mendax> i need a way to make quick computer money in the next few days
[05:24] <mendax> i usually do
[05:24] <mendax> i just need other ways
[05:25] <gioan> what is initramfs _ _ after boot home?
[05:25] <jj995> mendax: try selling your blood plasma or bone marrow
[05:25] <pavlos> jj995, no, I think the url is a bit old ... since you have 32 cores, try another number say 8 or 16. Does /proc/cpuinfo update correct?
[05:28] <pavlos> jj995, you can also echo 0|1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online to disable/enable the Nth core
[05:28] <squinty> matty_r:  probably need to install the   compizconfig-settings-manager  package.
[05:30] <jj995> pavlos: I just tried with 8 in /etc/default/grub and /proc/cpuinfo still shows 32 after update-grub and rebooting
[05:31] <jj995> when I run update-grub it shows "Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic" -- I don't see that listed in /etc/default/grub .  Am I even editing the right file?
[05:32] <pavlos> jj995, I assume the grub line is GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash maxcpus=8"
[05:32] <squinty> jj995:  you could edit the linux-image line directly in the grub boot menu to see if the option sticks or not.  if it does then maybe the grub config isn't being interpretated correctly or not updated correctly
[05:34] <jj995> pavlos: right. dmesg shows "Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic root=UUID=aef583e5-28c9-4161-ac41-bc0f2c3f6b61 ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0" so it doesn't look like the maxcpu option is being successfully passed in
[05:34] <jj995> squinty: I am running on an ec2 machine where I don't have access to the grub config at boot
[05:34] <jj995> (I only have ssh access)
[05:40] <gatis> How to check XDG variables please?
[05:42] <gr33n7007h> env | grep XDG
[05:43] <alipoor90> Hi, I have not much experience with Linux and now i want to manage my web server, what is best backup solution for Linux vps? block level or file level? and if file level i should backup whole root or just backup needed files and folder?(for example /var/www and /etc/httpd for webserver)
[05:44] <pavlos> jj995, I know know, it should honor the grub parm
[05:44] <pavlos> jj995, I dont know
[05:47] <Scroll_Tro0l> Is there a command I can use to test localhost connection to mysql?
[05:47] <gatis> Can some expert here help me with Lubuntu menus?
[05:49] <rypervenche> Scroll_Tro0l: The "mysql" command :)
[05:49] <gatis> What's the file where XDG variables located?
[05:50] <pavlos> Scroll_Tro0l, something like ... mysql.exe -s -N -h hostname -P 3306 -D databasename -u username -ppassword
[05:50] <Scroll_Tro0l> Okay, that part works for me. It's just that I went through some guides for remote access and I'm still not able to connect to it
[05:51] <Scroll_Tro0l> Really what I'm trying to do is connect to it locally (a wine-executed app) but it gives a connection error
[05:51] <Scroll_Tro0l> So I thought I'd see if I can connect to it from my pc
[05:51] <rypervenche> Scroll_Tro0l: So you can connect locally with the mysql command?
[05:51] <Scroll_Tro0l> i can login, add users, etc. Yes
[05:52] <pavlos> Scroll_Tro0l, is there a firewall blocking 3306
[05:52] <Scroll_Tro0l> Allowed it
[05:52] <Scroll_Tro0l> Same firewall I use for all the other working apps
[05:52] <rypervenche> Scroll_Tro0l: The firewall shouldn't be an issue if you can connect locally using mysql. So the app you're trying to connect from is also local? You need to make sure you're using the correct credentials.
[05:54] <Scroll_Tro0l> server 127.0.0.1 should be good, yes?
[05:54] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: what app are you needing to run under wine to connect to a local mysql server?
[05:54] <Scroll_Tro0l> or should I use localhost?
[05:55] <Scroll_Tro0l> It's a game server that, oddly, uses a mysql db.
[05:55] <jj995> pavlos: I think it is because I am on an amazon ec2 vm.  "sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online" worked though
[05:55] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: ok. Check in /etc/mysql/my.cnf for the bind-address. Might need changing to 0.0.0.0 from something more restrictive
[05:56] <Scroll_Tro0l> It's 0.0.0.0 atm
[05:56] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: k
[05:56] <Scroll_Tro0l> On the app should I do 127- or localhost?
[05:56] <Scroll_Tro0l> or it shouldn't matter?
[05:56] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: not sure how things work under wine, but I'd imagine it'll make no difference
[05:57] <pavlos> jj995, I learn something everyday :)
[05:57] <Scroll_Tro0l> Here's what it does: http://puu.sh/bJ0S4/c5fb43cf67.png
[05:58] <squinty> gatis: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:Questions#How_do_I_add_custom_sub-menu_and.2For_launcher_to_LXDE.27s_main_menu.3F   there seems to be quite a bit of information which may or may not be of use there
[05:58] <Scroll_Tro0l> But the odd part is, when i follow all the instructions for making mysql accessable from outside, I still cant connect to it with mysql workbench
[06:00] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: when you say 'outside' I thought you were running this server under wine. Have you got two issues you're trying to solve?
[06:00] <Scroll_Tro0l> somsip: server is in wine, for troubleshooting I was trying to connect from my pc.
[06:01] <Scroll_Tro0l> wine is in server*
[06:01] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: that's not made it any clearer for me. You have mysql on your ubuntu server. Can you connect to it from ubuntu with the user that you have created for the wine app to use?
[06:03] <Scroll_Tro0l> somsip: Do I test that with "mysql -u user -p -h localhost"? If so, yes.
[06:03] <Scroll_Tro0l> If you mean via the wine app, then no.
[06:04] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: mysql -u user -p is fine. localhost is assumed for -h but no matter. I'd suggest you next test this from within wine using something that might give you helpful output. I don't use win32 software so have no idea what to suggest
[06:05] <Scroll_Tro0l> somsip: But regardless of if wine works or not, should I be able to access it from my PC by now? I've opened the ports, edited the config, allowed remote access to the users, and restarted the mysql service.
[06:06] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: you just said you are able to connect from your PC using mysql -u user -p. In what way can you not access it from your PC?
[06:07] <Scroll_Tro0l> PC = home PC, not the server. Sorry.
[06:08] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: I'm totally confused. This is the first time I've seen you differentiate between home PC and server. Start again. Where is mysql running? Where was mysql -u user -p run from? Where is the wine app running?
[06:08] <Scroll_Tro0l> So let's forget about the wine part for now; I've followed all the steps for remote access and I still can't access it.
[06:08] <Sohail-Ahmed> I have just installed installed fenics using sudo apt-get install fenics and then did dist-upgrade. Now where is my fenics installation, how can I access the related documentation that comes with the installation.
[06:08] <Scroll_Tro0l> I ran that command on the server via ssh.
[06:08] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: so mysql is on the server, and all comands that work are on the  server. Nothing has worked from home PC connecting to server?
[06:09] <Scroll_Tro0l> yes
[06:09] <Scroll_Tro0l> Technically no, but lets say yes for now.
[06:09] <Scroll_Tro0l> because the wine issue was on the server too
[06:10] <Scroll_Tro0l> But I'll worry about that after I figure out the remote access first.
[06:10] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: what is your end goal?
[06:10] <Scroll_Tro0l> End goal is for the wine app (on server) to access mysql in the same server (ubuntu)
[06:11] <Sohail-Ahmed> all:  I have just installed installed fenics using sudo apt-get install fenics and then did dist-upgrade. Now where is my fenics installation, how can I access the related documentation that comes with the installation.
[06:14] <Scroll_Tro0l> somsip: By default, does mysql allow connections via TCP-IP?
[06:14] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: then you should fix why the wine app is not running. And the first error relates to not being able to find an X display
[06:15] <Scroll_Tro0l> Because I couldnt find a "skip-networking' to comment out
[06:15] <Scroll_Tro0l> I assumed that, and that's why I went about setting up the remote access to confirm that. But then when I couldn't connect from my home pc either, it made me start investigating that.
[06:16] <somsip> Scroll_Tro0l: those are two distinct problems. Access from home PC might be related to incorrect GRANT/USER on the server, incorrect server config, firewall or possible others. Wine app not running on server because there is no X display needs an X display
[06:17] <squinty> Sohail-Ahmed:  did you try  http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/tutorial/     and or  http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/index.html#documentation
[06:19] <Sohail-Ahmed> squinty: I am not having problem with the fenics itself but I am interested in finding the documentation that comes with the installation for offline use
[06:20] <squinty> Sohail-Ahmed:   tried   man fenics   in a terminal?
[06:21] <Sohail-Ahmed> it return no manual entry for fenics

[07:09] <jishjish> hi all, my wireless indicator on my arch linux xfce install keeps flashing blue and orange. At first I thought this was an ubuntu issue, maybe it's not. I had ubuntu 14 installed before this.
[07:10] <cfhowlett> !arch | jishjish,
[07:10] <TyrfingMjolnir> gatis: menus?
[07:10] <cfhowlett> jishjish, arch is not supported in the ubuntu channels.  ask arch for support
[07:11] <jishjish> I  did use manjaro but I got banned (don't know why, nor do I know how long for or how to find out why) can anyone help?
[07:12] <cfhowlett> jishjish, arch (and majaro) are not supported here. read the channel topic: ubuntu.  NOT arch or other distros.
[07:12] <luke_> hey, im not sure how closely linux mint and ubuntu deal with this but when i copy a file it doesn't show the transfer rate, is there a way to do this?

[07:25] <werkaa> I'm having difficulties googling as to whether it's possible to have ubuntu boot from an encrypted usb stick, as for example if the computer didn't have a hard drive
[07:25] <werkaa> is that possible?
[07:25] <cfhowlett> werkaa, why encrypted
[07:26] <TyrfingMjolnir> How can I upgrade from lucid to precise?
[07:27] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | TyrfingMjolnir or (and probably better), download the .iso, make a USB and clean install.
[07:27] <werkaa> cfhowlett: well, that's a good question. I pictured in my mind that i'd have two USBs, both encrypted, one with an ubuntu install and another with all the other files i wanted to carry around. - alternatively the ubuntu USB wouldn't have to be encrypted as long as I could be sure nothing was written to that USB while running it on a computer
[07:27] <TyrfingMjolnir> What will I do with that new ISO?
[07:27] <TyrfingMjolnir> Or new install?
[07:28] <cfhowlett> werkaa, look into tails linux (eric snowden's favorite ...)  https://tails.boum.org/
[07:29] <cfhowlett> TyrfingMjolnir, choice 1: do and eolugrade    choice 2: clean install with the downloaded .iso 14.04.1
[07:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> I do not want 14.04
[07:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> I need 12.04
[07:29] <werkaa> I am aware of Tails, it's very cool, but I'm wondering if it can be done with Ubuntu specifically? Either have an encrypted live usb, or, make sure it doesn't write anything to the live USB during operation
[07:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> As my current application still runs on 12.04
[07:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> I will have to make serious changes to make it work on 14.04
[07:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> I am asking for help upgrading lucid to precise
[07:30] <cfhowlett> TyrfingMjolnir, ah.  ok.  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/   get 12.04 and install clean.
[07:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> This is a base install with some configurations
[07:30] <narbeh> TyrfingMjolnir: Use fresh installation
[07:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> ?
[07:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> For the purpose of what?
[07:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> I need old libraries
[07:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> to remain working
[07:31] <squinty> TyrfingMjolnir:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[07:31] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade will do that TyrfingMjolnir 10.04 > 12.04
[07:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> The problem appears to be the kde is on some sort of removal blacklist
[07:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> Where is this blacklist?
[07:32] <narbeh> werkaa: you want to use Ubuntu instead of tails?
[07:32] <narbeh> werkaa: What are you going to do?
[07:32] <TyrfingMjolnir> I have all those images already
[07:32] <TyrfingMjolnir> None of them solve the task at hand
[07:32] <gatis> Anyone here?
[07:32] <TyrfingMjolnir> I m not looking for a clean install
[07:33] <TyrfingMjolnir> I m looking for how to successfully upgrade lucid to precise
[07:33] <TyrfingMjolnir> It's a base install from mini-10.04.iso
[07:33] <werkaa> narbeh: yes i'm specifically wondering whether I could do it with Ubuntu - probably because I don't always need my traffic routed through Tor for a start,
[07:33] <cfhowlett> TyrfingMjolnir, and I told you.  eolupgrade 10.04 > 12.04
[07:33] <narbeh> gatis: Ask
[07:33] <Ben64> TyrfingMjolnir: you've been told thrice already, listen
[07:34] <TyrfingMjolnir> Been told: eolupgrade 10.04 > 12.04
[07:34] <TyrfingMjolnir> does not mean anthing to me
[07:34] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade > TyrfingMjolnir
[07:34] <Ben64> TyrfingMjolnir: you were given the link to the instructions too
[07:34] <narbeh> werkaa: your answer is Yes, you can do all the things with Ubuntu, but you need to have a deep knowledge of Linux and security to make it just like Tails, all you need is the tools to install on Ubuntu and make it secure.
[07:34] <squinty> gatis:  and several participants here have already answered you several times now.  Exactly what is your problem and are you going to respond to other queries or suggestions that people may put forth?  if no, please stop wasting out time
[07:35] <gatis> squinty: please calm down. no one naswered my question
[07:35] <marjinal1st> I've multiple serial port devices connected on a single hub. How can I find out their addresses with Ubuntu?
[07:35] <gatis> I installed Wine and i don't see Wine manu in Main menu. Im using Lubuntu.
[07:35] <Ben64> gatis: you haven't asked a real question yet. try that first
[07:35] <narbeh> werkaa: if you are a typical user without any "serious" works, ubuntu is quite enough
[07:35] <cfhowlett> marjinal1st, lsusb in a terminal will display those
[07:35] <TyrfingMjolnir> Thank you
[07:35] <TyrfingMjolnir> Heading back to debian
[07:35] <TyrfingMjolnir> This is just rediculous
[07:35] <gatis> Ben64: if been asking this question for 1 hour
[07:35] <werkaa> narbeh: I'm not necesarily wanting to make it as locked down and super secure as Tails, I'm just wondering whether I can have a standard Ubuntu install on a live usb, that would run on a laptop with no hard drive, and without writing any data to the usb during operation...
[07:35] <marjinal1st> cfhowlett: No it just shows the USB hub, I need to get all devices connected on the hub

[07:36] <cfhowlett> marjinal1st, hmmm.  now I'm interested!  but ... I don't know that answer.  gotta be one though.
[07:37] <werkaa> i guess like how a live cd would work, but on a USB instead
[07:37] <cfhowlett> werkaa, you're aware you can make an ubuntu USB ... right?
[07:37] <narbeh> werkaa: Sure you can do that. use Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu
[07:37] <narbeh> werkaa: install ISO on USB and your done
[07:38] <werkaa> cfhowlett: yes absolutely, but i was under the impression some information would get written to the USB while using it as a live USB, maybe?
[07:38] <werkaa> cc narbeh
[07:38] <werkaa> if i had a USB that had a prevent write switch, would that stop ubuntu working from a live usb at all?
[07:38] <marjinal1st> cfhowlett: For example, I'm using CCT 910 HUB and wh EMP-800 coin acceptor. Coin acceptor is connected to HUB, and hub to computer. On Windows, a software shows the devices conneted. They're both in same serial port (COM3 on Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Ubuntu) but their addresses differ. Hub's is 80 and coin acceptor's is 42. I added more serial port devices to hub and I need to get the addresses.
[07:38] <Ben64> werkaa: nothing gets written unless you have a persistent file
[07:39] <cfhowlett> marjinal1st, I know there's a way ... I don't know how though.
[07:39] <narbeh> werkaa: You can make it a way to not store the data you write. After rebooting, the data will be removed
[07:39] <cfhowlett> werkaa, as I understand ^^^ true
[07:39] <sourcerer> Hello! I'm using ubuntu 14.04.1 on my Dell E7440 laptop with wi-fi "Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73)", and there's huuge packet loss (20%). Same laptop + usb-tethered connection to same wifi spot - no packet loss. Another laptop - no packet loss. Any suggestions?
[07:40] <gatis> I have Wine menus
[07:40] <werkaa> narbeh + cfhowlett : you're saying it has to be configured prior to making the ubuntu live usb that it won't write to disk during operationg?
[07:40] <gatis> But they don't show up in Main menu!
[07:40] <gatis> Why?
[07:40] <gatis> O have Wine menus in .config/menus/applications-merged
[07:40] <narbeh> werkaa: not at all
[07:40] <werkaa> so the live usb only writes to RAM, not persistance like Ben64 has pointed out?
[07:41] <gatis> Doesn't XDG read .config/menus/applications-merged folder?
[07:41] <narbeh> werkaa: You can completely unmount the HDD on the system. that way you are sure that nothing will be written on HDD
[07:41] <gatis> I was following: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#third-party-howto
[07:41] <gatis> I see Wine have made menus itself
[07:41] <gatis> But i don't see in Main menyu
[07:42] <werkaa> narbeh: I'm referring to the USB the Live USB is running off, I might be running it from a laptop without a hard drive for instance...
[07:42] <gatis> I see Wine .desktop files in /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications
[07:42] <gatis> I see .directory files in .local/share/desktop-directories
[07:43] <narbeh> werkaa: USB live disk has nothing to do with a machine's HDD. It just boots from USB and stores the data into RAM. after rebooting, the RAM will flushed.
[07:43] <gatis> All is like it should be
[07:43] <gatis> But i don't see menu in main menu!
[07:43] <werkaa> narbeh: i see, great. you've been very helpful. i think my confusion is now cleared up. thank you very much. thanks to cfhowlett and Ben64 too
[07:43] <gatis> Anyone help me please
[07:43] <cfhowlett> werkaa, happy2help
[07:44] <narbeh> werkaa: Welcome, any linux distro, can be installed on USB to boot live.
[07:45] <Ben64> gatis: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu
[07:45] <werkaa> narbeh: noted. and would you recommend a guide for installing a customised ubuntu live usb? ie. preloaded with a couple of programs i like to use
[07:45] <gatis> Ben64: yes i also checked it
[07:45] <narbeh> werkaa: And you can make it a way not to keep any data after rebooting. that is not good in my opinion. But you can encrypt the home folder and that will be secure for hundreds of years
[07:45] <Ben64> gatis: then use it
[07:45] <gatis> Ben64: do you hear what im saying?
[07:46] <gatis> Do you understand something abou menus?
[07:47] <gatis> I have Wine menu files in .config/menus/applications-merged
[07:47] <gatis> DDOes XDG even read this folder?
[07:47] <Ben64> gatis: apparently you need to re-read http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu
[07:47] <narbeh> werkaa: this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive_from_Ubuntu
[07:47] <gatis> Ben64: there is nothing about creating menus
[07:47] <Ben64> gatis: there really is
[07:47] <gatis> there is guide how to put .desktop in menu
[07:47] <gatis> Ben64: no not what i need
[07:48] <Ben64> it is in fact what you need
[07:48] <gatis> no it's not
[07:48] <gatis> You don't listen
[07:48] <Ben64> no, i listen fine, you're not
[07:48] <gatis> Did you hear i say i have Wine menus
[07:48] <Ben64> you just spam the channel with repetitive stuff and not listening to the many people who have tried to give you an answer
[07:49] <gatis> You don't listen to me
[07:49] <gatis> I have wine menus but LXDE don't show them in main menu
[07:49] <Ben64> right, so READ http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu
[07:49] <gatis> No it's not about menu file
[07:49] <Ben64> you're literally talking about the main menu
[07:49] <gatis> Don't just give me random things
[07:50] <Ben64> ok, i give up. good luck
[07:50] <El_Presidente> good morning
[07:50] <dastaan> Morning :)
[07:51] <El_Presidente> i may run into a kernel bug, my dads computer runs un ubuntu 14.04 with an intel sandy bridge cpu which i use for video output since a few kernel releases it seems to hang up every even reboot
[07:51] <El_Presidente> i installed a mainline kernel (3.17 rc5) for testing and now it does not appear anymore
[07:51] <cfhowlett> El_Presidente, if it also has the intel gpu, you should install the intel linux graphics driver
[07:53] <gatis> I have merged wine.menu
[07:53] <El_Presidente> cfhowlett, it ran fine since april where i installed the distro
[07:53] <gatis> ah
[07:53] <gatis> maybe i know what's the problem
[07:53] <cfhowlett> El_Presidente, dist-upgrade ???
[07:54] <El_Presidente> cfhowlett, no fresh installation
[07:54] <cfhowlett> El_Presidente, no I mean perhaps you might wish to perform a dist-upgrade
[07:54] <El_Presidente> cfhowlett, the system is up to date
[07:55] <__marco> Good morning. Here[*] I can see the last version of qemu is 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.5 but apt-cache shows only the version 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.3. Do you know why?
[07:55] <__marco> [*] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/qemu/2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.5
[07:55] <El_Presidente> i run dist-upgrade every now and then just to be sure to get the latest updates
[07:55] <somsip> __marco: have you run apt-get update?
[07:55] <__marco> yep
[07:55] <El_Presidente> im pretty sure it is a bug in the kernels intel driver
[07:55] <somsip> !info qemu
[07:56] <somsip> __marco: I understand the !info lags a little. Maybe that update has only just been released and has not propogated to all sources yet
[07:57] <somsip> __marco: then again, release on 17th. Would have thought that was plenty of time..
[07:57] <__marco> somsip: https://launchpad.net/~marco-giusti/+archive/ubuntu/qemu
[07:57] <squinty> TyrfingMjolnir:   maybe look in  cat /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/removal_blacklist.cfg     other files referencing "blacklist" can be seen by typing   locate blacklist   in a terminal.
[07:57] <somsip> __marco: that's a PPA. They aren't supported
[07:58] <__marco> somsip: I just uploaded a version of qemu with the support for vde and it says that a new version is available
[07:58] <__marco> somsip: yes, it is my ppa. Look at the end of the page
[07:59] <TyrfingMjolnir> squinty: Do not have that folder, but I m on my way to start over
[07:59] <somsip> __marco:  I see it's your PPA. PPAs aren't suported here, but that's not really your query. You want to know why 1.5 seems to be released but only 1.3 is available, yes?
[07:59] <__marco> somsip: yes
[07:59] <__marco> exactly
[08:00] <__marco> somsip: that page pointed me to the inconsistency
[08:01] <somsip> __marco: official package page still shows 1.3 http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/qemu Looking at the date of release on launchpad, maybe it is still pending in some way
[08:01] <__marco> somsip: Can you look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/qemu/2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.5 ?
[08:01] <__marco> it says trusty pocket
[08:02] <__marco> somsip: what is pocket?
[08:02] <somsip> __marco: no idea. but "proposed" means "not accepted or released"
[08:02] <__marco> somsip: ok, thanks
[08:03] <gatis> I fixed my problem: i edited lxde-applications.menu with -> <MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir>. This included applications-merged foldere where is wine.menu located.
[08:03] <gatis> yey!
[08:04] <Melar> help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/8401923/
[08:07] <Melar> wow.
[08:07] <Melar> well i think i must have messed up gtk i am not sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8401923/
[08:07] <Melar> synaptic doesnt open neither does macchanger-gtk
[08:08] <ikonia> Melar: are you running that on a local machine
[08:08] <narbeh> Melar:  do you run in console?
[08:08] <Melar> yes. i recently changed the hostname and also adjusted the file in /etc/hosts
[08:08] <__marco> Melar: try to run xeyes
[08:08] <__marco> Melar: echo $DISPLAY
[08:09] <ikonia> or over a remote connection, eg: ssh
[08:09] <Melar> will try
[08:09] <Melar> grimjow@null:~$ echo $DISPLAY
[08:09] <Melar> :0
[08:09] <Melar> grimjow@null:~$
[08:09] <ikonia> Melar: have you rebooted after changing the hostname
[08:10] <Melar> no, I am definately running local on my machine
[08:10] <Melar> no i havent
[08:10] <ikonia> Melar: that's your issue then
[08:10] <ikonia> you need to reboot
[08:10] <ikonia> hostname is not an "on the fly" change
[08:11] <Melar> ok. thank you :)
[08:12] <chovy> keyboard layout is gone in 14.04
[08:12] <chovy> i want to switch to mac keybaoard
[08:14] <erm3nda> Hi!
[08:14] <erm3nda> Can i put offtopic here?
[08:14] <erm3nda> there's ayone asking now?
[08:15] <FreeNow> erm3nda there's a channel for offtopic discussion at #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:15] <DJones> erm3nda: This channel is just for support issues, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for any non support issues
[08:15] <cfhowlett> erm3nda, use the offtopic channel for OT stuff
[08:15] <erm3nda> i heard about on centos channel too. Didn't see notice on topic message. Thank you
[08:16] <erm3nda> im sure some of you can apport a little thing to my big decission
[08:16] <erm3nda> have a good day.
[08:20] <ashley123> hi
[08:21] <FreeNow> hi ashley123
[08:21] <ashley123> I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu but without downloading gnome again (slow internet), is there any where I can find the installation packages/files so that I can copy them onto my USB stick?
[09:03] <chovy> anyone know how to modify keybaord?
[09:13] <SrRaven> Hi, im having problems: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8402192/
[09:14] <eeee> looks like you're missing libxml2
[09:14] <eeee> !info libxml2
[09:14] <SrRaven> yeah but when I try to install it, it wont let me
[09:14] <eeee> why not?
[09:14] <eeee> what won't let you?
[09:15] <SrRaven> it says I already have it installed
[09:15] <eeee> ok, type whereis libxml2
[09:15] <eeee> i'd try sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxml2
[09:15] <SrRaven> whereis libxml2
[09:15] <SrRaven> libxml2:
[09:16] <eeee> that's all you got?
[09:17] <SrRaven> yes
[09:17] <somsip> SrRaven: It's installed here, and I get the same output (nothing) for whereis. Reinstall it and then post any errors
[09:17] <brook> I can ssh out from the host to other computers, but I can't ssh to the host from outside, getting the message 'ssh: connect to host ... port 22: Connection timed out', what's wrong?
[09:18] <SrRaven> im at it somsip
[09:18] <SrRaven> will report
[09:19] <somsip> brook: is the ssh server running on the host?
[09:19] <SrRaven> same failue
[09:19] <brook> no
[09:19] <somsip> SrRaven: what error?
[09:20] <somsip> brook: then it wont accept incoming connections. SSH needs client and server
[09:20] <SrRaven> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8402230/
[09:20] <SrRaven> somsip:  ^
[09:20] <matty_r> It's possible to installer a lightweight desktop like xfce along side unity isn't it?
[09:20] <somsip> matty_r: yes
[09:20] <brook> Okay.
[09:21] <eeee> SrRaven: try to run the command with --with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.9.1
[09:21] <matty_r> somsip, so using that would likely boost performance. I'll still be able to access everything i've already installed correct?
[09:21] <eeee> assuming you're running x86_64 and the version is 2.9.1 for libxml2
[09:21] <somsip> matty_r: a lighter desktop will feel quicker and more responsive, most likely. All data files will be unchanged
[09:21] <eeee> SrRaven: you can try sudo find / -xdev -iname "libxml2*" , to confirm
[09:21] <matty_r> somsip, cheers mate
[09:22] <SrRaven> error: unknown option `with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.9.1'
[09:22] <eeee> SrRaven: did you use --with ?
[09:22] <SrRaven> yes
[09:23] <SrRaven> bash install.sh --with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.9.1
[09:23] <somsip> SrRaven: you're doing something with Ruby, yes?
[09:23] <SrRaven> thats what I entered
[09:23] <SrRaven> yes
[09:23] <somsip> SrRaven: have you apt-get install libxml2?
[09:23] <SrRaven> yes
[09:23] <SrRaven> well no, it wont let me
[09:23] <eeee> SrRaven: ah, no you have to pass that to the blabla.rb
[09:23] <eeee> ( where blabla is extconf )
[09:23] <somsip> SrRaven: so *post errors for the install*, for the third time of asking...
[09:24] <eeee> SrRaven: you could modify the install.sh and add it there
[09:24] <SrRaven> somsip: what ?!
[09:24] <SrRaven> eeee: how would I do that
[09:25] <eeee> SrRaven: gedit install.sh , search for extconf
[09:25] <eeee> and append --with-xml2-lib=/usr... to it
[09:25] <SrRaven> E486: Pattern not found: extconf
[09:25] <SrRaven> (used vim)
[09:26] <eeee> can you paste the install.sh ?
[09:26] <SrRaven> sure
[09:26] <SrRaven> https://github.com/prove/tarantula/blob/master/vendor/installer/install.sh <-
[09:27] <eeee> SrRaven: sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
[09:27] <eeee> try that
[09:27] <japro> great, i had issues with the builtin rtl wifi driver in my laptop but verified that this dlink usb dongle i had lying around works... so i figured i'll get another of those. obviously now the new one looks the same but is "hw revision B" which means another friggin rtl chip in it ARGH
[09:27] <japro> its at least not the exact same so i guess there is a blimp of hope
[09:29] <SrRaven> getting loads of diff. errors now
[09:30] <michele__> why when i'm in a shortcut and i press canc the file doesn't delete?
[09:30] <SrRaven> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8402254
[09:31] <eeee> SrRaven: sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
[09:32] <SrRaven> is that something that differs from the lamp^ packages?
[09:32] <SrRaven> I already had those installed
[09:33] <eeee> i think so
[09:33] <SrRaven> that seems to have worked though
[09:34] <eeee> no more errors?
[09:35] <SrRaven> yeh, well some stuff but thats a lot I have to read first
[09:35] <SrRaven> been a while since I had to install this lovely piece of software
[09:35] <SrRaven> and its kinda made for centos, so getting it to run on ubuntu was an experience to say the least
[09:35] <eeee> SrRaven: if i were you, i'd copy the list of the dependencies ( the commented stuff under ubuntu)
[09:36] <SrRaven> wait, what?
[09:36] <eeee> run sed -i 's/#//' dependencies
[09:36] <SrRaven> could you elaborate pls
[09:36] <SrRaven> run command not found :P
[09:36] <eeee> and then do for i in `cat dependencies`; sudo apt-get -y install $i; done
[09:37] <eeee> copy the list of the dependencies, starting from build-essential to openssl ( lines 13 to 27 )
[09:37] <eeee> then paste them in your text editor and save as dependencies
[09:38] <eeee> then type sed -i 's/# //' dependencies
[09:38] <eeee> ( that'll get rid of the #  at the start )
[09:39] <eeee> then type for i in `cat dependencies`; sudo apt-get -y install $i; done
[09:39] <eeee> that'll install them
[09:39] <eeee> if it's already installed it just won't install it, ( the -y means it wont ask for confirmation )
[09:39] <eeee> so it'll try to install the next one in the list
[09:40] <geirha> Don't see the point of the loop there
[09:40] <eeee> geirha: what do you mean? instead of installing them one by one and getting errors, it'll just install whatever is missing
[09:40] <eeee> they are like 14 dependencies
[09:40] <geirha> eeee: well yeah, the loop is installing them one by one ...
[09:41] <eeee> yeah, so
[09:41] <eeee> what's your point?
[09:41] <SrRaven> eeee:  Im simply not "getting" what the reason is to do it
[09:41] <eeee> SrRaven: it's so you don't have to install them by hand one by one
[09:41] <SrRaven> ah
[09:42] <geirha> eeee: why not install them all?
[09:42] <SrRaven> goood to know :D
[09:42] <eeee> geirha: it is installing them all.. just that you have to use -y so he doesn't have to do any confirmations
[09:43] <vitimiti> hi
[09:43] <geirha> eeee: yeah but why not just run *one* apt-get instead of 14? is my point
[09:44] <mohsen-rashidi> Hello there.
[09:44] <geirha> xargs sudo apt-get install < dependencies
[09:44] <mohsen-rashidi> What does Ubuntu use as init system?
[09:44] <eeee> geirha: you mean apt-get install `cat dependencies` or so ?
[09:44] <k1l> mohsen-rashidi: upstart, at the moment.
[09:45] <eeee> geirha: i suppose that would be better, yeah i see
[09:45] <eeee> i usually use this to remove tons of stuff
[09:45] <geirha> yes, except I'd never use `cat file`
[09:46] <mohsen-rashidi> k1l: i have read in an article at zdnet that claimed ubuntu uses systemd as init. So it is wrong, yes?
[09:46] <Fuchs> it will use systemd, they recently decided to switch. I assume that's what the article mentioned.
[09:46] <k1l> mohsen-rashidi: the plan is to change to systemd for the next LTS which will be 16.04
[09:47] <geirha> this is one of the few cases were xargs is useful, since package names use a very limited set of characters :)
[09:47] <mohsen-rashidi> Fuchs: the article was about systemd disadvantages.
[09:47] <k1l> mohsen-rashidi: so it is in the state of transition. there are already services that are part of systemd used by upstart because the services got integrated into systemd.
[09:48] <zero_coder> hey, i cannot run steam on trusty
[09:48] <k1l> zero_coder: what error do you get?
[09:48] <mohsen-rashidi> What about debian? Do you have any information about it's decision on init system?
[09:48] <cfhowlett> mohsen-rashidi, best to ask them #debian
[09:48] <zero_coder> k1l, it shows system need to be online to get the update.
[09:49] <mohsen-rashidi> Ok thank you very much.
[09:49] <k1l> mohsen-rashidi: debians plans to change to systemd too was the reason for ubuntu to change to systemd
[09:49] <Fuchs> mohsen-rashidi: yes, they recently decided to switch to systemd. Which is why ubuntu switches as well. For details I'd recommend #debian either here or on OTFC
[09:49] <mohsen-rashidi> Thanks💜
[09:49] <k1l> zero_coder: well, steam needs to be online
[09:49] <zero_coder> k1l, i am connected to internet.
[09:52] <zero_coder> k1l, ?
[09:53] <eeee> geirha: it doesn't work, xargs or `cat ee`
[09:54] <sennn> hello there
[09:54] <eeee> geirha: would you be so kind as to tell me how it would work?
[09:54] <k1l> zero_coder: do you use some special setup for your internet?
[09:55] <zero_coder> k1l, a static ip
[09:55] <geirha> eeee: sorry, have a meeting. Will have to take it later.
[09:55] <zero_coder> k1l, oh wait. i think i am in my university. maybe they might have blocked gaming networks
[09:56] <eeee> geirha: ok, guess ill have to just use good old, working, for i then :P
[09:56] <eeee> thanks anyways
[10:10] <microdiery> nihao
[10:13] <japro> hmm, so it seems the driver for this usb dongle is there but it doesn't associate it to the device... lsusb tells me the ID is 2001:330d but using modinfo it tells me that the only alias that is similar is 2001:330b
[10:14] <japro> what is the correct way to ad a mod alias?
[10:16] <strk> my cpu slowed down and I dunno why, nor how to bring it back up. I just tried the CPU frequency monitor applet but it isn't friendly for an 8 cores machine as you have to select each in turn and scale each up
[10:16] <strk> so questions: how to find out what slowed it down ? and how to avoid it ?
[10:17] <strk> commandline tool is ok
[10:17] <japro> maybe they are running hot? (try "sensors")
[10:19] <Ben64> strk: normally they scale down when they don't need to be running faster
[10:20] <geirha> eeee: My best guess at why they fail would be that maybe the copy/pasting included dos line endings (with CRs)
[10:22] <geirha> though that would fail with the for-loop too, so I can't really say without seeing the error message

[10:27] <japro> right so googling how to add new ids to drivers gives me multiple results telling me to add them to things like: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/modulename/new_id
[10:27] <helpcrypto> Hi.
[10:27] <japro> but apparently in 14.04 that drivers/ directory doesn't actually contain those directories for the module names...
[10:27] <japro> or do i just create a new directory with said name?
[10:34] <strk> Ben64: I'm profiling an application, so they would need to run fast, that's how I found out. All of a sudden the operation was taking twice the time. Temperature of each core is below high
[10:36] <Mion> strk: dmesg
[10:36] <Mion> look for thermal throtle events
[10:36] <renan> Can someone point me on how the PHP releases are managed within Ubuntu? How is the process of releasing a new package version?
[10:36] <Ben64> strk: if the governor is set to ondemand, which i think is default, it shouldn't happen like that ever
[10:37] <SrRaven> I have the website i want to work in sites-available, how do I get it "linked" to the www ?
[10:38] <Ben64> SrRaven: define "linked"
[10:38] <SrRaven> well, just that it works when I enter the ip
[10:38] <SrRaven> the rest, I dont care about :p
[10:40] <kodephreak> You are not supposed to have the website in sites-available. Its where you keep your site config file
[10:40] <SrRaven> OK, my wbesite is in /opt/tarantula
[10:41] <kodephreak> then set that path in the site config file in sites-available
[10:42] <kodephreak> then execute sudo a2ensite
[10:42] <kodephreak> then restart apache
[10:42] <kodephreak> if you have apache
[10:42] <SrRaven> yes I do have apache
[10:42] <Ben64> SrRaven: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
[10:43] <kodephreak> I would recommend, put your site in /var/www as you seem to be a beginner
[10:43] <kodephreak> and your site would work without needing any other settings
[10:44] <narbeh> I forced any web request to use HTTPS, is there any tool to force the server to use HTTP ?
[10:45] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys, can one make a bash script to make mass regex_replaces recusively in a directory that applies only in the scope of the change file
[10:45] <Wiz_KeeD> ?
[10:46] <hsonesson> Is this the right place to ask questions if you have technical problems with your Ubuntu installation_
[10:46] <typ> i don't get the last part. Wiz_KeeD
[10:46] <SrRaven> when I move the website to /var/www kodephreak it just doesnt show a website, only shows file structure
[10:47] <Wiz_KeeD> typ, basically I would like to make more complex regex replaces that uses captured data from within a file
[10:47] <typ> SrRaven: mod_php ?
[10:47] <SrRaven> ?
[10:47] <Wiz_KeeD> and I would like the captured data to be restricted to the particular file it's running on
[10:47] <Wiz_KeeD> so it does not capture a val from file 1 and replaces values in file 2
[10:48] <minimec> hsonesson: yes.
[10:48] <k1l> Wiz_KeeD: does this suit better into ##bash ?
[10:48] <Wiz_KeeD> Could be, not sure, thanks for the suggestion k1l
[10:48] <kodephreak> is it a php wite or just a simple html site ?
[10:50] <kodephreak> SrRaven: I guess, you should ask this in #httpd as this is definitely not the right place
[10:50] <SrRaven> its a ruby on rails thing kodephreak
[10:51] <hsonesson> I just booted up my system today and couldn't login because the content of my home folder has disappeared. I've no idea about to do. I did an online search and found someone on Askubuntu who has almost the exact same problem (http://askubuntu.com/questions/524852/missing-files-in-home-directory-after-boot-crash-during-software-update) , but no one has given any answers.
[10:52] <japro> hmm, does dkms cache build related stuff somehow?
[10:52] <kodephreak> ok. ruby files aren't supposed to be run with apache directly. You would at the least need appropriate modules to process them. Asking in #Ruby might be helpful.
[10:52] <japro> i rebuilt a module but don't see my changes reflected in the result
[10:54] <minimec> hsonesson: can you login on a console? '<ctrl><alt>F1', then login with your username...
[10:56] <hsonesson> minimec: yes I can, but when doing ls in the home directory it only shows "found+lost" and nothing else.
[10:58] <chrisss123456> help!! i reinstalled windows on one of my partitions and now i dont get the grub anymore and fear that my data has been lost!! what happened?!!?!? D:
[10:58] <minimec> hsonesson: Ok. What I want to try is to move 'mv' the old .Xauthority file, to give your back graphical access. On the other hand, I have no clue about all these missing files...
[10:58] <hateball> !fixgrub
[10:58] <k1l> chrisss123456: the windows installer did override grub. you need to recover/reinstall grub again.
[10:59] <hateball> chrisss123456: See above ^
[10:59] <chrisss123456> k1l: oh dear.... how do i do that?
[10:59] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, more than likely, your data remains
[10:59] <chrisss123456> hateball: oh right, just saw. thanks
[10:59] <cfhowlett> !grub > chrisss123456
[10:59] <k1l> chrisss123456: see the message from bot
[10:59] <minimec> hsonesson: I would try to 'mv .Xauthority .Xauthority-old', then I would <alt>F8 and try to login again...
[11:00] <fujio> Does ubuntu use by default network manager?
[11:00] <chrisss123456> great. ok i guess its a common error. thanks guys! ill let you know if it works! :)
[11:00] <k1l> fujio: yes
[11:00] <minimec> hsonesson: <alt>F7 to get back to the graphical interface...
[11:00] <fujio> Good to know, thanks
[11:00] <fujio> Why does this article use /etc/network/interfaces then for network configuration? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking
[11:01] <hsonesson> minimec: Okay, thanks. I'll try to do that and see what happens.
[11:02] <strk> Ben64: it's set to "onDemand", yes. Now I rebooted and speed is back to normal. The freq-monitor still reports 39%, so that was not the cause of the slow-down
[11:02] <strk> maybe it was a disk throttling
[11:05] <hsonesson> minimec: The .Xauthority file is supposed to be in the home directory right? My home directory doesn't even have any hidden files except for found+lost and .directory
[11:06] <minimec> hsonesson: Ok. was that directory encrypted on installation?
[11:07] <hsonesson> minimec: No. It was (and still is but without any content) on a seperate ext4 partition.
[11:10] <minimec> hsonesson: I would love to help you , but... if that directory was empty, why shouldn't you be able to login via a normal xsession?
[11:11] <minimec> hsonesson: What if we tried to 'mv' the whole folder and create a new folder for your default user?
[11:12] <minimec> hsonesson: Or... could you add a new user with 'adduser' and try to login with that new user?
[11:13] <chrisss123456> so i cant run boot-repair...
[11:13] <chrisss123456> :(
[11:14] <hsonesson> minimec: That's a good question. I could try that. But right now I'm running kubuntu from another partition on the same computer, so I'll have to reboot.
[11:14] <chrisss123456> k1l: i dont have an internet connection, so i cant run boot-repair
[11:14] <chrisss123456> ...
[11:14] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, boot repair?  your grub was WIPED by windows.  nothing to repair
[11:14] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: ok, but i followed the instructions on fixing grub.
[11:15] <cfhowlett> chrisss12346, r e i n s t a l l
[11:15] <minimec> hsonesson: You see... These would be my first debugging steps... But I have to admit, that I don't really know why all these files would be missing...
[11:16] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: i dont want to lose the data, and i dont have enough space to create a new partition for reinstalling ubuntu.
[11:16] <k1l> chrisss123456: stop!
[11:16] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, I understand that.  reinstall grub.  GRUB. not ubuntu.
[11:16] <cfhowlett> k1l, ?  I miss a piece of this conversation?
[11:16] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: should i run sudo grub-install /dev/sdb for example?
[11:16] <chrisss123456> k1l: hi, havent done anything.
[11:17] <k1l> chrisss123456: with your windows install you were forced to install the windows bootloader. that cant see any linux. so you need to reinstall grub again, which can see linux and windows.
[11:17] <k1l> chrisss123456: follow the guide to reinstall grub from a live-ubuntu and it will work as before.
[11:17] <chrisss123456> k1l:  ok, i thought boot-repair did that. unfortunately i dont have it, nor can i seem to get it
[11:17] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, do you have an ubuntu installation USB?
[11:17] <chrisss123456> so the next option they give is to run sudo grub-install /loc
[11:18] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: a CD.
[11:18] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, ... cd? of 14.04 ubuntu?
[11:18] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: yea, its my boss's
[11:19] <hsonesson> minimec: No. It's a mystery to me. Also because when I look at the partitions in a partitions manager it says that the partition is 19% full. So the space is taken, but the files don't show up.
[11:19] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, 14.04 is too large to fit on a CD.  I don't know what you're running there, but 14.04 it ain't.  under normal circumstances, boot the USB and reinstall grub to /dev/sda   in almost all cases  (depends on the hardware)
[11:19] <pinky> g
[11:20] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: it is 14.04, but i dont know the exact details. maybe a lighter version, or its a dvd.
[11:20] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, dvd I can see.
[11:20] <ciurkut> hiho is there special channel for gnome-ubuntu? or can i ask here?
[11:21] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: in any case though, to do what you said, its "sudo grub-install /blabla" right?
[11:21] <chrisss123456> i just am unsure of my commands
[11:22] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, understandable.  Assuming a single HDD, sudo apt-get install grub /dev/sda
[11:23] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: cool. thanks. :) i can run sudo fdisk -l to see what partitions i have right? and i would want to pick the ubuntu one, yes?
[11:23] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, NO
[11:23] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: haha ok good that i asked! what would i pick
[11:23] <chrisss123456> ?
[11:23] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, do NOT install to the ubuntu partition.  install to the HDD which has ubuntu installed on it.  normally /dev/sda
[11:24] <chrisss123456> ahh ok so its disk wide. so in that case sda :) thanks!
[11:25] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: "error: failed to get canonical path of '/cow' " wot?
[11:25] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, eh?  you booted the ubuntu USB, yes?
[11:25] <John_John_> does anybody here know about citadel mail server ?
[11:25] <chrisss123456> yes! hahaha im running the "Try Ubuntu" thing.
[11:26] <ciurkut> i get login loop at gnome-ubuntu (noone said if there is any other channel i should use for that) i tried setting recursively ownership to all files inside home folder to me, what should i check now?
[11:26] <ciurkut> sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm doesnt work either
[11:27] <rudra101> Hi. I know basic programming skills(I am a CS undergrad). I want to contribute to Ubuntu community. How should I proceed ?
[11:27] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, you're close to the finish line!  But ... I've got to step away for a while.  ask again in channel
[11:27] <cfhowlett> !contribute | rudra101
[11:27] <chrisss123456> cfhowlett: ok thanks for the help! :)
[11:27] <ciurkut> also my /usr/bin/gnome-session is executable
[11:28] <ciurkut> when i run gnome-session from the console
[11:28] <ciurkut> it says cant open display
[11:28] <NightFury> Good Morning
[11:28] <ciurkut> or something like that
[11:29] <k1l> ciurkut: please see if there is a .XAuthority file in your home and that it belongs to user:user
[11:29] <ciurkut> there is none
[11:29] <k1l> ciurkut: "ls -al" will tell you in terminal in the /home folder
[11:30] <k1l> then see .xsession-errors if that tells you some more
[11:30] <ciurkut> where is that?
[11:31] <ubuntu> ?
[11:31] <k1l> ciurkut: in that users home directory
[11:31] <rudra101> ubottu: Thank you.
[11:31] <ciurkut> there is none
[11:31] <k1l> ciurkut: what does "pwd" give you?
[11:31] <the_last> Hi. I'm trying to install SSH but I'm getting weird behavior. I'm following this: http://www.tecmint.com/install-openssh-server-in-linux/ -- and I installed it and when I run the nc command to check I can connect on port 22 it's all good, but even if I stop the server with /etc/init.d/ssh stop the nc command still works.... And I tried changing the port to 443 and I can't connect on port 443, but 22 still says good. What the?
[11:31] <Guest11578> siema
[11:32] <k1l> !pl | Guest11578
[11:32] <ciurkut> "/home/ciurkut"
[11:32] <Kovalski> Halo
[11:32] <Fuchs> the_last: check with netstat  and/or  lsof on the server what exactly is listening on that port
[11:32] <ciurkut> im in the right folder k1l :p
[11:32] <k1l> ciurkut: hmm, ok. so what did you do before you could not log in anymore?
[11:32] <ciurkut> nothing much
[11:33] <ciurkut> system update and turn off my pc
[11:33] <ciurkut> after night i cant login
[11:33] <Fuchs> ciurkut: would be interesting to check whether login works with a different user
[11:33] <ciurkut> Fuchs: ill try with root
[11:33] <k1l> ciurkut: can you login with the guest account or another user?
[11:33] <ciurkut> brb
[11:33] <Fuchs> and if yes, if it works with a different desktop environment for the current one. Just to narrow down possible causes
[11:33] <Fuchs> ciurkut: bad idea
[11:33] <k1l> ciurkut: stop
[11:33] <Fuchs> ciurkut: try a regular user, create a new one if needed
[11:33] <ciurkut> i dont have guest account enabled...
[11:34] <Fuchs> ciurkut: then add a new user, you can log in on a VT probably for that
[11:34] <the_last> Fuchs: According to netstat: nothing? haha
[11:34] <Fuchs> the_last: netstat -taunp   doesn't list anything there, even as root?  If yes: see, from the outside, what nmap thinks about it
[11:35] <the_last> Fuchs: ah yep, that shows it, ty: tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5607/sshd
[11:35] <the_last> So it's ignoring my config and commands I guess?
[11:35] <Fuchs> there we go. So there is an sshd running and listening on that port.
[11:35] <Fuchs> Maybe that one is, maybe because you started it somehow directly or with other means that aren't services,
[11:35] <Fuchs> so try killing that one  (nicely, not with SIGKILL)
[11:36] <ciurkut> Fuchs: and k1l newuser newuser worked
[11:36] <ciurkut> but i would like to repair my old one
[11:36] <ciurkut> :X
[11:36] <the_last> Fuchs: Done. Now try again?
[11:36] <ravi_> ravi
[11:36] <ciurkut> i mean it logged to gnome and appears to work
[11:36] <Fuchs> ciurkut: yeah, didn't say you should stay with the new one, rather just narrowing down what might be the cause
[11:37] <ciurkut> mkay, what now :p
[11:37] <Fuchs> ciurkut: trying a different desktop environment with your regular user would be nice now, to know whether gnome has an issue loading (then it's some gnome configuration) or whether it is graphical logins in general
[11:37] <ravi_> dkchauhan
[11:37] <ciurkut> already tried gnome classic
[11:37] <ciurkut> did not work either
[11:38] <ciurkut> with ciurkut user
[11:38] <Fuchs> try something that isn't gnome, please.
[11:38] <Fuchs> Something lightweight will do.
[11:38] <ciurkut> hmm... :x im bad at making choices :x
[11:38] <Fuchs> go with flux or openbox then, those are about as lightweight as it gets
[11:38] <the_last> Fuchs: Okay, so that seems to have fixed the problem. But I'm scared as to why that happened in the first place. Is there a possibility SSH was already installed somehow, but in a weird way? Because before I installed it I tried to do /etc/init.d/ssh but it didn't exist, and the package didn't say it was already installed.
[11:39] <Fuchs> the_last: not having looked at the manual, but maybe at one point it did let you start the service manually to test stuff. If that doesn't happen again, I wouldn't worry too much
[11:39] <the_last> Fuchs: Okay, thanks for your help! :)
[11:39] <Fuchs> the_last: as for sshd in general: I recommend disabling root login, having it run on an unusual port and only allowing public key auth
[11:39] <the_last> Yep thats the plan
[11:40] <Fuchs> the_last: then it's probably safe, unless you don't handle your keys in a safe manner.
[11:40] <Fuchs> You're welcome :)
[11:45] <ciurkut> fuchs is sudo apt-get install openbox enough?
[11:45] <ciurkut> Fuchs: *
[11:46] <Fuchs> I'd guess so, but I don't have an ubuntu at hand. Maybe that doesn't install the needed session (as openbox is, in ubuntu, among other things used within lxde).
[11:48] <ciurkut> stock openbox doesnt have menu... right? :x
[11:49] <Fuchs> I think it does, but no taskbar.
[11:49] <Fuchs> you can go with fluxbox instead if you want, that has both.
[11:50] <ciurkut> user ciurkut works with openbox
[11:50] <Fuchs> but then it's really just to test whether a graphical login for that user is possible
[11:50] <Fuchs> in that case we know that it's gnome (including classic) that refuses to load,
[11:50] <Fuchs> so I'd probably go and rename the gnome configuration folders in your home and launch it, then try getting as many of your settings back as possible.
[11:51] <ciurkut> which folders should i rename and where are they
[11:52] <ciurkut> . config?
[11:52] <Fuchs> I'm afraid you'll have to ask that someone else, as I try to avoid gnome as good as possible
[11:53] <Fuchs> but I'm pretty sure that, now that you know where / what to search, it should be resolvable. Good luck :)
[11:55] <ciurkut> i tried changing gnome and gnome2 cause couldnt find others inside home folder...
[11:55] <ciurkut> we will see
[11:56] <ciurkut> shiet :x no luck
[11:57] <ciurkut> will ls -la list all stuff there is?
[12:01] <baako> hi guys
[12:01] <baako> i deleted my ubuntu partition
[12:01] <baako> amd i restart my pc
[12:02] <baako> and i am gettimg grub rescue
[12:02] <baako> please help
[12:02] <cfhowlett> baako, of course.  no ubuntu to boot.  what did you expect to happen?
[12:02] <baako> i have windows 7
[12:02] <baako> its a dual boot
[12:03] <baako> i just wanna boot into my windows 7
[12:03] <k1l> baako: take the windows cd and reinstall the windows bootloader
[12:03] <cfhowlett> baako, ah.  get your windows 7 disk and run boot repair
[12:03] <baako> okay i did a system image on a cd
[12:04] <baako> will that have the boot loader?
[12:04] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:04] <cfhowlett> baako, a windows system image?
[12:04] <baako> yea
[12:04] <japro> on a cd! :D
[12:04] <baako> one of them you do just imcase you have issue booting i to windows
[12:04] <japro> i always use a floppy for that
[12:04] <cfhowlett> baako, ask ##windows how to do your repairs.
[12:07] <baako> i cant boot into the cd :(
[12:07] <cfhowlett> baako, ask ##windows ... NOT an ubuntu problem.
[12:08] <__marco> do you know how to remove a distribution from reprepro?
[12:08] <__marco> what I have to do after I remove it from conf/distribution?
[12:09] <cfhowlett> __marco, debian tool : ask #debian?
[12:11] <yecril71pl> Hello, I have a problem with sftp in Nautilus
[12:11] <yecril71pl> I have a drive mounted but I cannot see its contents
[12:11] <yecril71pl> and I cannot unmount it either
[12:11] <__marco> cfhowlett: apt-cache show reprepro, and it is used to maintain an ubuntu repository
[12:12] <BluesKaj> MarcGuay,
[12:12] <BluesKaj> __marco, https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reprepro
[12:12] <yecril71pl> Nautilus says: timeout when trying to unmount :-(
[12:18] <narbeh> yecril71pl: Are you sure you have entered the username as password correct?
[12:19] <yecril71pl> Suppose I have not, how do I unmount the network drive?
[12:19] <yecril71pl> It is undocumented how to unmount a network drive, only how to mount it.
[12:19] <narbeh> yecril71pl: reboot the system. i don't know any other choice
[12:19] <yecril71pl> I figured out I should press the eject button but that gives me a timeout.
[12:20] <din> yecril71pl: umount -f ?
[12:20] <narbeh> yecril71pl: but it has a problem.
[12:20] <yecril71pl> unmount does not see the drive at all
[12:20] <yecril71pl> the drive is visible in Nautilus only
[12:21] <messa4> Salam and Shalom!
[12:21] <narbeh> yecril71pl: reboot it
[12:21] <narbeh> messa4: salam.
[12:21] <bazhang> !ot | messa4
[12:21] <ciurkut> Fuchs: works, thanks
[12:21] <ciurkut> i feel so awesome :x
[12:21] <Fuchs> ciurkut: great :)  You're welcome
[12:21] <messa4> does ubuntu still ships gnome as default wm?
[12:22] <bazhang> yes messa4
[12:22] <ciurkut> Goodbye
[12:22] <Fuchs> bazhang: oh for gods sake, Salam is a perfectly valid greeting when entering a channel ...
[12:22] <Fuchs> ciurkut: bye, have a nice day :)
[12:22] <yecril71pl> narbeh: so Ubuntu is better than Microsoft Windows in that it suffices to reboot to get back to a reasonable state, whereas Microsoft Windows requires a format each time?
[12:22] <yecril71pl> I hoped Ubuntu is better than that.
[12:23] <messa4> bazhang: what version?
[12:23] <cfhowlett> !gnome | messa4
[12:24] <alpy> hey, is it normal that I don't get grub at all, and my PC goes directly to windows?
[12:24] <messa4> cfhowlett: i dont get this bot answer. What version of Gnome is currently used in ubuntu? or gnome is NOT default wm anymore?
[12:24] <messa4> i didnt use ubuntu for 5 years btw. thats why im asking
[12:25] <narbeh> yecril71pl: its a GUI problem, linux doesn't need to restart
[12:25] <cfhowlett> messa4, unity is the default desktop environment for ubuntu.  there is an official flavor of ubuntu that uses gnome
[12:25] <stevendumani> hi, I'm trying to use minbar on ubuntu 14.04 64bit, but I'm getting this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8402856/
[12:25] <bigblackbook> When we redirect git's output to a plain text file, it doesn't contain BASH Formatting codes. How does git do this?
[12:26] <stevendumani> then nothing happens, the program won't open.
[12:26] <yecril71pl> narbeh: how do I restart GUI only?
[12:26] <narbeh> yecril71pl: the system
[12:26] <Wooble> bigblackbook: it uses isatty() or the equivalent.
[12:27] <yecril71pl> narbeh: but you said it is not necessary to restart the system.
[12:27] <messa4> cfhowlett: so "THE ubuntu" - the most major and "official"  is based on unity?
[12:27] <cfhowlett> messa4, correctomundo
[12:27] <cfhowlett> !flavors | messa4
[12:27] <messa4> thx.
[12:27] <narbeh> yecril71pl: i don't know any other choice
[12:29] <bigblackbook> Wooble,  Yeah.  That explains why formatting is gone even with "piping" the output to other commands like "pager".
[12:30] <messa4> whats default file manager in unity in main ubuntu?
[12:30] <messa4> or there is none and unity is just wm?
[12:31] <narbeh> messa4: it's Nautilus
[12:32] <yecril71pl> The Software Manager says I have sshfs, dpkg says I do not.
[12:32] <messa4> thx
[12:33] <messa4> does ubuntu came with already ready-to-use mp3 decoder?
[12:34] <LuchaLibre> Hey folks
[12:34] <narbeh> messa4: no. install them
[12:34] <LuchaLibre> I need some help.
[12:34] <narbeh> messa4: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:34] <narbeh> LuchaLibre: hi
[12:34] <LuchaLibre> narbeh: I'm looking for some controllers to run with Steam on Linux
[12:35] <narbeh> don't know
[12:35] <LuchaLibre> Is anyone familiar with game controller support on here?
[12:36] <messa4> yecril71pl: trust dpkg imo
[12:36] <cfhowlett> !steam
[12:36] <cfhowlett> LuchaLibre, ^^^
[12:36] <messa4> LuchaLibre: no idea buddy :( hardware support on linux is very poor
[12:36] <LuchaLibre> Gotcha cfhowlett
[12:37] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: the Logitech F710 works fine, as an example
[12:37] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: It's out of my price range and it reportedly has dead zones
[12:37] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: there are a couple of good hardware compatibilty list, I'd say consult one of these. Or get a gamepad that registers itself as an xbox or PS controller (such as the mentioned F710), they work
[12:37] <minimec> LuchaLibre: I have that one. Working in steam, also for need for speed in wine. I can control my parrot AR-Drine too.
[12:37] <minimec> LuchaLibre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekaU5vdsF3s
[12:37] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: the Thrustmaster ones also worked rather well for me in the past.
[12:39] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: Do you know anything about the f310? Although both f710 and f310 reportedly have dead zones, I.E the analog sticks are jerky
[12:40] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: no, but if it can be set to X-Input, similar to F510 and F710, it will work
[12:40] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: as for the dead zones: I didn't notice them with my F710, but maybe I'm not sensitive enough for that
[12:41] <Fuchs> apparently it can do XInput, so yes, it will work
[12:42] <Fuchs> several pages agree on it having a XInput / DInput switch, probably either will work, the X one certainly will. Can't say anything about the dead zones though, sorry.
[12:42] <hateball> LuchaLibre: I am using F310 and it works well. havent had any issues with dead zones that I noticed
[12:43] <LuchaLibre> hateball: Well there's like a whole forum thing on the Logitech page. I'm really confused o.o
[12:44] <yecril71pl> <URL: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/nautilus-connect.html >: I cannot see any "Service Type" in the Connect dialogue box.
[12:45] <hateball> LuchaLibre: Oh well, can't say more than "works for me"
[12:46] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: Are there X input emulators like there are for Windows?
[12:47] <yecril71pl> rather <URL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS >
[12:48] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: hmm, haven't heard that yet, what do they do? Maybe something similar exists
[12:49] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: Remap the keys and convert the input into x input so the pc reads x input.
[12:49] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: oh, yes. There is one like that indeed. Let me see what it was called
[12:50] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: I think Jkeys is one
[12:50] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: Ah okay lemme have a look
[12:51] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: and AntiMicro, which apparently has a nice GUI
[12:51] <yecril71pl> aptitude also says I have sshfs installed
[12:51] <Fuchs> (and is the replacement for QJoyPad, which I think I used once for a game that didn't have gamepad support via wine)
[12:52] <LuchaLibre> Fuchs: Could you also look at these 3 controllers and tell me which is the best one to get? I'm confused as heck with the reviews and other things...
[12:52] <marscher> Hi, how can I search for installed packages, which origins from some ppa and are now "shadowed" by some newer version in official repo?
[12:52] <Fuchs> LuchaLibre: well, I personally know the ones I used, aside from that I'd recommend you do consult reviews, as they know them better than I do
[12:59] <Zunino> I'm doing some screencasting on 14.04 and making use of Compiz's Enhanced Zoom. It works fine, except for the fact that the recording ends up with two mouse pointers: the normal one and the scaled one.
[13:00] <Zunino> I have the option "Hide original mouse pointer" checked.
[13:00] <yecril71pl> Now I have /tmp/host mounted via sshfs and I can ls but Nautilus shows this folder is empty
[13:01] <HitmanV> Hi all, i am attempting to build a samba server on ubuntu sercer 14.04. Its for an office environment, we need 5 shares, one for each department. with department level authentication, eg a username of fin and password fin123 for the finance share. can anyone help me with the smb.conf, ive been struggling and googling for a couple days now

[13:09] <Guest43513> hello
[13:10] <antonio__> hi
[13:10] <Guest43513> ?
[13:11] <narbeh> hi
[13:11] <Guest43513> algun mexicano
[13:11] <baako> guys i am installimg ubuntu 14
[13:12] <loa> baako, wow
[13:12] <baako> i have created an account so i guess he will be the sudo user
[13:12] <baako> i am wondering should i create another user and he will be a normal user
[13:12] <baako> and use that accout instead
[13:13] <Pici> baako: Why?
[13:13] <baako> i find that i has to use sudo alot for little things and sometimes i shouldnt access my php files
[13:14] <baako> for example in var/www
[13:14] <baako> i couldnt do a simple command lile
[13:14] <baako> like
[13:14] <baako> mkdir
[13:14] <baako> it always told me to use sudo mkdir
[13:15] <baako> and has a result i couldnt access it because Baako didnt have permisson
[13:15] <nfd9001> umm, apparently my connection hiccupped
[13:15] <nfd9001> did anyone see that?
[13:15] <baako> which was weird because Baako was the only user i created
[13:15] <baako> and his password was the sudo password
[13:16] <Pici> baako: That is how permissions work in Linux.  Using sudo elevates your privliges temporarily.
[13:16] <nfd9001> looks like my stuff here vanished into the abyss
[13:16] <nfd9001> Hi, I'm having some problems using NetworkManager through nm-applet
[13:16] <nfd9001> nm-applet won't actually let me access any of the settings, connect to unknown points, and connecting to a VPN fails.
[13:16] <nfd9001> tl;dr: aaaaaaaaaaa school starts in three hours, please help
[13:16] <Pici> baako: You may want to do some reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[13:16] <nfd9001> ...there!
[13:17] <baako> Pici i will take a look at it
[13:17] <n4mu> Hi, I'm wondering if this page/paragraphe: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/intel_graphics#puce_gma_3600_d2xxxn2xxx has a more recent version. This talks about "Precise", I think I'm running something with the letter "T" (14.04)
[13:17] <nfd9001> this is a really weird problem, oh man
[13:18] <cfhowlett> baako, suggested practice:  1 sudo account used for ... sudo stuff.  a NON sudo account for everyday, normal use.
[13:19] <Guest43513> shed
[13:19] <Guest43513> =)
[13:19] <baako> i am a php developer and i always use windows but am starting to get into the linux world now
[13:20] <baako> i wanna user thw non sudo account alot
[13:20] <baako> for my web development work
[13:20] <cfhowlett> baako, exactly.  use sudo to manage your ubuntu system.  use the normal user account for everything else
[13:20] <pavlos> n4mu, ubuntu precise was 12.04, ubuntu trusty is 14.04 These are just codenames.
[13:21] <baako> thanka
[13:21] <nfd9001> man, my polkit/dbus are both seriously screwed somehow
[13:21] <Guest43513> .l.
[13:21] <Guest43513> hello
[13:22] <n4mu> pavlos: yeppe, I know, I just don't know the names really. But I did guess that the page in question might be outdated.
[13:22] <Guest43513> this is a really weird problem
[13:22] <n4mu> I just noticed that I the URL I pasted is in FR. Sorry about that.
[13:23] <pavlos> n4mu, you can google for "ubuntu 14.04 gma 3600" to find more recent pages
[13:23] <nfd9001> anyone? anyone?
[13:24] <narbeh> nfd9001: ?
[13:25] <smart_developer> How do you calculate how many system processes your application will need ?
[13:25] <smart_developer> Ideally, you need to set some sort of limit, so that a fork bomb doesn't occur.
[13:25] <nfd9001> narbeh: i've got some hilarious problems with NetworkManager
[13:26] <smart_developer> So you would want to provision a max # of processes that's just right enough.
[13:26] <n4mu> pavlos: Yes. I think the issue is that the page I posted contradicts other pages I've found. I think that whoever decided to put this chip in any computer should be .. . well, basically I've never had such issues with a graphic card. :/
[13:26] <smart_developer> maybe +/- a few.
[13:26] <nfd9001> ...hilarious in that i've got about 5 minutes to fix them
[13:26] <n4mu> pavlos: thanks still. :]
[13:26] <smart_developer> Does anyone know how to calculate how many system processes your application will need, though ??
[13:26] <smart_developer> Thanks :)

[13:33] <Mississauga> any reason for NOT installing latest server version? empty hard disk
[13:33] <Mississauga> is it safer to go with an older version, say 13.x ?
[13:33] <cfhowlett> Mississauga, ask #ubuntu-server
[13:34] <vimvim> Hi all. I am using ubuntu's latest version and I don'tsee a lot of options in my system settings
[13:35] <vimvim> I can't hear the voice, even the alsamixer won't show any bars for audio change
[13:35] <vimvim> Can anyone please tell me what should I do about it??
[13:40] <BluesKaj> vimvim, which audio options are you referring to?
[13:41] <alexdmccabe> Is anybody else having issues with Chrome crashing a lot? At least once or twice a day? I'm on 14.04 LTS. It seems to have started recently, in the past couple of weeks
[13:42] <daftykins> alexdmccabe: tried a clean profile?
[13:43] <alexdmccabe> daftykins: Not yet. Just wondering if it's a common problem before I start going through the testing process
[13:44] <vimvim> BluesKaj: The one in the top panel and in "system settings"
[13:45] <vimvim> In system setting setttings I only see "language support, privacy, printers, landscape service & s/w updates"
[13:45] <SirGNU> how to fix aptitude
[13:45] <daftykins> alexdmccabe: not much effort to create a test one and see how you get on (: i'm afraid i can't offer any comments on it in general though - afaiui there are multiple chromes still
[13:45] <SirGNU> ?
[13:45] <alexdmccabe> daftykins: Okay. Thanks!
[13:45] <SirGNU> it says Untrusted apps could be in the system
[13:45] <vimvim> also I try to force-reload alsa
[13:45] <vimvim> That wouldn't work for me as well
[13:45] <daftykins> SirGNU: define 'fix' - you have to state a problem first. apt-get is used over aptitude on ubuntu anyway
[13:46] <SirGNU> Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
[13:46] <SirGNU> when I install anything this error pops up ^
[13:46] <n4mu> Okay, so I am back and I must admit, totally lost. If anyone knows about the gma 3600 on N2600/N2800 process for 14.04 it would be amazing. So far I found https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0.6-linux which tells me "Due to the complex package dependencies.... drivers are only available through your device manufacturer or through Linux distributions" :/
[13:47] <n4mu> I've searched for way too long, and actually installed Ubuntu because external screen works (but video playback doesn't work)
[13:47] <daftykins> SirGNU: have you added PPAs? when you get this error, can you show a screenshot or a pastebin of the terminal output?
[13:47] <daftykins> !paste | SirGNU such as with this
[13:47] <BluesKaj> vimvim, if you have a new install then the automute in alsamixer might be enabled
[13:48] <Masterjedi688> Hello
[13:48] <Masterjedi688> I need help fast
[13:48] <cemc> hi. I have ubuntu server 14.04 installed, with eth0 dhcp. I'm trying to set my own static DNS servers, disregarding the DHCP ones. I created /etc/resolv.conf file (not a symlink to resolvconf) but it still gets overwritten at reboot
[13:48] <Masterjedi688> Can someone tell me how can I download WINE on to my pc so that I can update my IPAD 2 IOS 8?
[13:48] <cfhowlett> !server | cemc,
[13:48] <vimvim> ~% amixer sset Master unmute
[13:48] <vimvim> amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0
[13:48] <vimvim> BluesKaj: ^
[13:48] <daftykins> Masterjedi688: iPads update themselves directly, they don't need a computer
[13:49] <cfhowlett> Masterjedi688, wine will not help update your ipad
[13:49] <cemc> cfhowlett: thanks ;)
[13:49]  * cfhowlett suspects troll ...
[13:49] <Masterjedi688> ok
[13:49]  * daftykins nods at cfhowlett 
[13:49] <BluesKaj> vimvim, alsamixer , not amixer
[13:50] <Masterjedi688> how do I download ITUNES on my pc?
[13:50] <BluesKaj> open alsamixer in the terminal to make sure , vimvim
[13:50] <daftykins> Masterjedi688: you can't use iTunes on Ubuntu
[13:50] <Masterjedi688> I have lubuntu
[13:50] <daftykins> you can't use iTunes.
[13:50] <cfhowlett> Masterjedi688, itunes is not supported on *buntu
[13:50] <Masterjedi688> AWWWWW
[13:50] <Masterjedi688> OK
[13:50] <cfhowlett> !itunes | Masterjedi688
[13:50] <daftykins> Masterjedi688: but we just told you you don't need it.
[13:50] <Masterjedi688> Thhanks guys
[13:51] <prajith> is there blustack for ubuntu?
[13:51] <cfhowlett> prajith, there is openstack
[13:51] <prajith> ok
[13:53] <vimvim> BluesKaj: okay, it's not about it being mute
[13:54] <vimvim> I think sound is not enabled for me
[13:54] <BluesKaj> vimvim, which audio chip?
[13:56] <prajith> is there whatsapp for ubuntu 14.04?
[13:56] <vimvim> BluesKaj: I can see all the settings option on doing 'sudo gnome-control-center' but can't change the settings
[13:56] <patates> no, prajith, but you can run it in a vm
[13:56] <vimvim> BluesKaj: Intel
[13:56] <calmstand> prajith, there's a plugin for pidgin that allows access to whatsapp
[13:57] <prajith> patates, how?
[13:57] <daftykins> you can't VM whatsapp, it requires a mobile phone service and phone number
[13:57] <patates> daftykins, you can restore your backup into vm, it will run
[13:57] <BluesKaj> vimvim, if you have the intel hda audio, then run, sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel ..for some reason after updates and upgrades or new installs the driver fails to load
[13:58] <patates> prajith, pidgin pluging might be better, I'd check that
[13:58] <daftykins> patates: VM of what? this channel isn't phone support
[13:58] <klisman> ciao
[13:58] <BluesKaj> vimvim, there won't be any output in the terminal if the driver loads properly
[13:58] <klisman> !list
[13:59] <prajith> patates, is pidgin is an alternative for whatsapp?
[14:00] <BluesKaj> vimvim, also you may need to reboot afterwards
[14:00] <patates> prajith, it looks like it is a client for whatsapp, though I've just heard that
[14:00] <vimvim> rebooting
[14:01] <prajith> patates, did you use that?
[14:01] <patates> prajith, No I haven't used it yet, but I will.
[14:01] <VictorCL> hi , how can I show the desktop?
[14:01] <VictorCL> I dont see a button or anything
[14:01] <prajith> patates, thanks for the info
[14:01] <cfhowlett> !paste | VictorCL,
[14:06] <prajith> patates, i can't find whatsapp in pidgin
[14:06] <calmstand> prajith, you download the plugin from online
[14:07] <patates> prajith, I am new to this too, and It looks complicated to setup, you need to sniff your phone..
[14:07] <prajith> camstand, how i get that plugin?
[14:08] <xok> Hi everyone! Do anyone know does the download helper for mozills open-sourced?
[14:10] <calmstand> prajith, there is a PPA available for it, but I might agree with patates a bit here, there are 2 methods to get whatsapp setup on the computer. You can either use the sniffing technique, or you can request a new code, but this will prevent you from being able to use whatsapp on your current number
[14:10] <calmstand> on your current phone* sorry
[14:12] <prajith> calmstand, okay
[14:13] <prajith> calmstand, can i use a different number to stop that prevention from being use on phone?
[14:14] <calmstand> prajit, yes, but it needs to be a valid number as to get the new code, you will need to receive it via a text message
[14:15] <prajith> whats sniffing technique?
[14:16] <calmstand> a program that reads the connection between the whatsapp app on your current phone and the whatsapp servers to get the password. This method will allow you to keep using whatsapp on your phone
[14:17] <pseudoprime> How do I go about saving the following two rules so that they execute on boot? 'ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100' && 'ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100'?
[14:17] <pseudoprime> using 14.04
[14:20] <prajith> calmstand, i didn't get the package still
[14:21] <DaMan> Logged in and ready to use!
[14:24] <reisio> DaMan: proceed using!
[14:25] <Elimin8er> I have tried in just about every channel that I can think of, unless I miss one or two, but im trying to package a source recived from git, not from upstreame. and bzr doesnt seem to like git's.. but the sample file from the packaing tut, it works like a charm.. but doesnt explain how to package git sources.. any ideas what to do? I have asked in other channels as well.  ?
[14:26] <daftykins> we advise official packages here :)
[14:27] <reisio> Elimin8er: git is just a VCS, there are no rules
[14:27] <reisio> bzr too, really
[14:27] <Elimin8er> then why doesnt it work? others have told me they couldnt get it to work either
[14:28] <Elimin8er> when it builds the package.. its empty
[14:28] <Elimin8er> but the sample one (the hello-2.7) builds with no problem.
[14:29] <daftykins> do these products not have channels?
[14:30] <Elimin8er> daftykins, they prob. do.. ill try in there. thanks
[14:40] <cyclonis> good morning anyone around
[14:40] <cyclonis> is there a way to restrict only root to be able to log into the console on ubuntu 12.04
[14:41] <Fohlen> hey. A strange bug happens to me ... I can't access 1 website with my pc/firefox (it's banking). Work's fine with other pc's in my wlan
[14:41] <Fohlen> I cleared cache, cookies etc and also refreshed dns
[14:41] <Fohlen> pinging the site works aswell
[14:41] <Fohlen> any ideas?
[14:42] <Wiz_KeeD> how do I do a mass rename of a directories with name 'x' to 'y' ?
[14:42] <Wiz_KeeD> in a particular dir that is recursively
[14:42] <reisio> Fohlen: what happens when you try
[14:42] <reisio> cyclonis: what for
[14:42] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: you want dirs exactly named 'x' to be renamed to 'y'?
[14:43] <Wiz_KeeD> reisio, yes sir!
[14:43] <Fohlen> reisio: it loads and loads and loads and I believe it times out after a while..
[14:43] <Fohlen> seems me like a "I'm blocked-scenario"
[14:43] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: find top/dir/ -type d -name 'x' -exec mv -n {} y \;
[14:43] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: run with just find top/dir/ -type d -name 'x' first to be sure it's what you want
[14:43] <Fuchs> Wiz_KeeD: either use mmv or any GUI for it
[14:44] <Fuchs> like krename and the likes
[14:44] <reisio> Fohlen: are you leaving the tab open or ignoring it?
[14:44] <Fohlen> reisio: leaving it open.
[14:45] <reisio> Fohlen: is JS enabled?
[14:45] <Fohlen> reisio: yes.
[14:45] <Fohlen> reisio: this strange bug happens to me after upgrading to the latest firefox.
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> okay found it...looks good reisio
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> now just the exec part will work?
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> not sure what  -exec mv -n {} y \;
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> mv -n {} means
[14:46] <daftykins> Wiz_KeeD: no you need both together i think
[14:46] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: {} represents each found dir
[14:47] <Fohlen> reisio: os is ubuntu 14.10 with latest firefox.
[14:47] <alumne1daw> 7x
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: mv is for move, -n is so you don't move 'x' into a potentially existing 'y'
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> ahhh, it's not regex is it? I would recognise it
[14:47] <daftykins> 14.10 ? you need to be in #ubuntu+1
[14:47] <alumne1daw> die motherfucker
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: \; is just to keep your shell from being confused
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> ah so it doesn't overwrite
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: not really no
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: right
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> kep shell from being confused? :D
[14:47] <pseudoprime> is rc.local guaranteed to execute after networking?
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: and then afterwards you can run find top/dir/ -type d -name 'x' again to make sure that scenario didn't manifest
[14:47] <usuari> hey
[14:47] <alumne1daw> die bitch
[14:47] <daftykins> alumne1daw: stop that please
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: right, so find can grok its own syntax and bash can grok its own
[14:47] <daftykins> yay
[14:48] <Fohlen> reisio: router bug.
[14:48] <Fohlen> happens on all systems/pcs now.
[14:49] <reisio> Fohlen: yay
[14:49] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm that didn't seem to work properly
[14:49] <Wiz_KeeD> find ./ -type d -name 'src' -exec mv -n {} description \;
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> I assume I needed to pass description as string also?
[14:50] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: you want 'src' to become 'description'?
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> since it created a new one
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> yes reisio
[14:51] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: oh snap, that was a very wrong command
[14:51] <reisio> sorry man
[14:51] <Wiz_KeeD> :-s
[14:52] <REV> men
[14:52] <reisio> uh, you got a backup?
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> well thank Torvalds for git XD
[14:52] <REV> care chimba guevon
[14:52] <reisio> heheheh
[14:52] <REV> ctm
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> it's all in a git dir
[14:52] <reisio> hang on I'll do an actual test and give you the proper command
[14:52] <daftykins> !english | REV
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> so reverted
[14:52] <reisio> good good :)
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> thanks reisio !
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> also a mass move and a mass rmdir? XD
[14:52] <REV> men
[14:52] <REV> i think you're over
[14:53] <REV> die with my cum insidew
[14:53] <Wiz_KeeD> basically I have many dirs that have static/src/img.png and I want to make all of them do static/descripton/img.png
[14:53] <Synyster> i'm syn
[14:53] <REV> why you don0t killyourself?
[14:53] <Wiz_KeeD> REV, that behavior can get you banned I think :-s
[14:53] <daftykins> !ops | REV
[14:53] <cfhowlett> !ops | REV
[14:53] <REV> .bye bye bitches
[14:54] <REV> DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[14:54] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: should work if you use -execdir instead of -exec :p
[14:54] <reisio> bad oversight
[14:54] <Wiz_KeeD> yeah? nice
[14:55] <Wiz_KeeD> pass description as string?
[14:55] <Synyster> nice what?
[14:55] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: find top/dir/ -type d -name 'source' -execdir mv -n {} description \;
[14:55] <Synyster> are you messing with SYN?
[14:55] <reisio> with just -exec it was trying to mv ./foo/bar/source to ./description :p
[14:55] <REV> JAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
[14:55] <reisio> so theoretically if you hadn't had a backup, since we used mv -n (with -n), it would've only done that to the first one
[14:55] <REV> MOTHERFUCKERS I'M BACK
[14:56] <reisio> REV: HUZZAH
[14:56] <cfhowlett> reisio, please don't feed
[14:56] <Synyster> rev is sick
[14:56] <Synyster> he's gone
[14:57] <REV> YOU CAN'T STOP THE REV
[14:57] <daftykins> lol.
[14:58]  * cfhowlett thinks ... hmmm.  seems to be stopped ...
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> haha lol
[14:59]  * Wiz_KeeD lols
[14:59] <reisio> cfhowlett: feeding a troll would be getting angry, not shrugging it off
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> that was so funny :))
[14:59] <BlackFlag> Hello, world! I have just installed ubuntu 14.04.1 amd64 in a notebook with "VGA Graphics SiS M672 FX + SiS 307ELV" and he resolution is vwery wrong. What do I do?
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> I bet he thought he was so smart reconnecting (they will never ban me)
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> reisio, same command to do rmdir (it's a safe one since it won't work for dirs with data int hem)
[14:59] <daftykins> Wiz_KeeD: lets stay on topic now please
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> daftykins, ok
[15:00] <daftykins> BlackFlag: it's unlikely you'll get a proper picture out of an old SiS adapter.
[15:00] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: probably -exec rmdir {} \;
[15:01] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: although for multiple levels you'd probably have to run it more than once, probably a better solution to that, but I don't know it offhand
[15:01] <BlackFlag> In live usb (unetbootin methode) the resolution was not right, but was a little more proper.
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm I rand something myself and it worked even though I was in another place...this doesn't look good
[15:02] <BlackFlag> was acceptable
[15:04] <mendax> how much do they goive me for selling plasma?
[15:04] <daftykins> BlackFlag: pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log of a live session and the installed version
[15:04] <reisio> mendax: $20?
[15:04] <kostkon> BlackFlag, have you tried to set it up in your display settings
[15:04] <mendax> wow
[15:04] <reisio> you do it for the free shirts, though
[15:04] <mendax> not even worth it
[15:04] <reisio> not, it's more for the feeling of helping, really
[15:04] <reisio> s/not/no/
[15:04] <reisio> though you do get a cup of apple juice
[15:05] <EiriksUbuntu> Hi everyone :)
[15:06] <BlackFlag> kostkon, I've just tried "xrandr -s 1280x800" and the outout was "Size 1280x800 not found in available modes"
[15:07] <EiriksUbuntu> how do i run shell scripts from the desktop (create an icon, to run it)
[15:08] <reisio> EiriksUbuntu: right click on desktop, create launcher, something like that?
[15:08] <EiriksUbuntu> yeah, that's the way it used to be, but now you can't do it (in unity)
[15:09] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, gnome 3 to be precise
[15:09] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, create a custom desktop file for that script, then move it to your desktop folder
[15:10] <spykesdark> ciao
[15:10] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, there are also apps in the software centre that allow you to easilyy create desktop files
[15:10] <spykesdark> !lista
[15:10] <OerHeks> EiriksUbuntu,  Right click the file you want a link to in your file manager. Select "Makelink" from the context menu. Move that link wherever you want it. & click it
[15:11] <EiriksUbuntu> OerHeks thank you, um can i just give it permission to execute a myscript.sh
[15:11] <ses1984> hey, i'm getting an error trying to run cheese, on 14.04 x64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/8403863/
[15:13] <OerHeks> EiriksUbuntu, if that script is exacutable +x then it should work

[15:27] <acovrig> I'm trying to do some port forwarding in iptables, but it isn't working...
[15:28] <daftykins> acovrig: #ubuntu-server and #networking might be of use if nobody replies
[15:28] <acovrig> I'm trying to forward eth0's 2222 to 123.456.789.0:22 - the connection times out when connecting to eth0's public address, but I can ssh into 123.456.789.0:22 from this system
[15:28] <acovrig> daftykins, thanks
[15:28] <alexfu> i just installed a fresh copy of mysql and nothing outputs when i try to start the service. in addition, attempts to connect fail with `Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'`
[15:28] <kaliSun> networking
[15:29] <acovrig> alexfu, does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[15:29] <alexfu> acovrig: initially, no. i did touch /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and still nothing
[15:30] <kaliSun> "internet realy chat" = this is not a chat channel lol.... gnight guys... thanks canonical dev team for all youre hard work Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is the shit.
[15:30] <acovrig> alexfu, it should auto-create it, how are you starting the mysql server?
[15:30] <daftykins> so glad that guy left.
[15:31] <alexfu> acovrig: i tried... start mysql, /etc/init.d/mysql start and service mysql start
[15:31] <acovrig> alexfu, try running mysqld -X as root (I believe)
[15:32] <alexfu> acovrig: still nothing
[15:32] <somsip> alexfu: how did you install it?
[15:33] <alexfu> somsip: apt
[15:33] <somsip> alexfu: you did 'apt-get install mysql-server'? And how do you start the service?
[15:33] <alexfu> not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i'm using a docker container.. i feel like that shouldnt have any effect though
[15:34] <alexfu> somsip: yes. and start mysql
[15:34] <somsip> alexfu: sudo service mysql start
[15:34] <alexfu> somsip: that doesnt work for me
[15:35] <somsip> alexfu: output or errors in /var/log/mysql/error.log?
[15:35] <EiriksUbuntu> OerHeks that worked like a charm, is there a way I can pin it to the launcher? it's job is to grab a webpage for offline use, this is very usefull for me
[15:36] <furtado> teste
[15:37] <EiriksUbuntu> furtado we read you
[15:37] <alexfu> somsip: i get no output from that command. here's the contents of the error.log -- http://pastebin.com/pk0pcvQ0
[15:39] <UnixBird> Hello Everyone, I need a little help for on a 1045 error phpmyadmin
[15:39] <vifino> Hey, i have a question, i want to build the latest kernel from torwalds/linux , do I have to do any changes to make it work in ubuntu?
[15:39] <vifino> Any specific options?
[15:40] <prajith> how to register for a new whatsapp account via yowsup?
[15:40] <reisio> vifino: there's a writeup on help.ubuntu.com for kernel copmiling
[15:40] <somsip> alexfu: so you've started a vanilla ubuntu image with an interactive shell, then installed mysql-server as described above? If not, please elaborate
[15:40] <alexfu> somsip: yep
[15:41] <alexfu> somsip: before mysql, i install apache and php
[15:41] <alexfu> *installed
[15:41] <vifino> reisio: Well, the pages i found always told me to use apt to get the sources, or go fetch the sources from the ubuntu git, not the torwalds/linux git
[15:41] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/156280/1045-cannot-log-in-to-the-mysql-server vifino
[15:41] <somsip> alexfu: what image are you using?
[15:41] <vifino> bazhang: err
[15:41] <alexfu> somsip: ubuntu precise
[15:42] <ezio> for some reason my system my buddy's g++ isn't finding /usr/local/include
[15:42] <bazhang> whoops UnixBird , sorry vifino
[15:42] <ezio> but mind is
[15:42] <ezio> same make file same source
[15:42] <ezio> any idea?
[15:43] <somsip> alexfu: sorry, there's nothing obvious jumping out at me except the 'malformed SQL' errors in the log which are unexpected. Self-building a LAMP stack has been fine for me on Docker. I'm not sure what to suggest and am about done for the night anyway
[15:44] <alexfu> somsip: thanks anyway
[15:44] <vifino> reisio: I found the articles, though they want me to use their repos, not torwalds, can I just use torwalds instead?

[15:47] <dbugger> Hello guys. Netflix has just launched in Germany, but apparently has no support for Linux. I think I have read there are ways to configure the system to make it work, but they are in German and despite living here I do not speak the language that well to understand them. Can anyone help me?
[15:48] <reisio> dbugger: pipelight
[15:48] <daftykins> dbugger: in the news they're releasing native Linux support, so just be patient
[15:49] <reisio> yes, you can jimmy it with the right UA string and Chrome
[15:49] <OerHeks> dbugger, you can use netflix on ubuntu, use google chrome ( only) and read this http://www.webupd8.org/2014/08/how-to-enable-html5-playback-for.html ++ http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/nss-updated-to-allow-native-html5.html
[15:49] <reisio> but if you don't want to deal with that, just use pipelight
[15:49] <dbugger> reisio: What is pipelight?
[15:49] <reisio> it's the least awful way to run the plugin via Wine
[15:49] <dbugger> daftykins: You mean you read that they are planning on releasing native Linux support. My free trial month started now, so I would like to do it asap...
[15:49] <reisio> there's a ppa, it might be called 'netflix-desktop' or something
[15:50]  * OerHeks never ever advises to use wine
[15:50] <reisio> dbugger: they actually already have, but it's a bit involved to get still
[15:50] <daftykins> dbugger: you should've waited :)
[15:51] <dbugger> reisio: can i pm you?
[15:51] <reisio> don't see why not
[15:51] <reisio> people who don't want to talk to people shouldn't be on a chat network :p

[15:53] <mibfrog> Hello, got a problem that is most likely very easy for you: Some files shall be moved from User B's home to User A's. However, whenever i try it, it says that i dont have permission and the file is read only. I want User B's home to be open to all users. Tried CHMOD 777 but for some reason its not working. I am logged as User A with root, what is the command from scratch so i can access and move stuff from B's Home in Unity/Gnome? Big
[15:53] <BlackFlag> daftykins, live session http://pastebin.com/3K4KjJ3V ***
[15:55] <daftykins> mibfrog: create a user group, add all users to that group and change user B's /home ownership to userB:group
[15:56] <hillary> my ubuntu 14.04 cannot connect to the internet using wired network but connect through wireless. What could be the issue
[15:56] <mibfrog> daftykins: cant i just give B's home ownership to the sudo group?
[15:57] <daftykins> mibfrog: not sure what you mean by sudo group
[15:58] <hillary> any help guys?
[15:58] <daftykins> BlackFlag: ok, live session uses the VESA driver whilst the install tries to use FBDEV resulting in poor resolution. you can try creating a simple /etc/X11/xorg.conf to force vesa usage, or research whether any SiS drivers exist for trusty. it's not going to run well under VESA though
[15:58] <daftykins> !patience | hillary
[15:58] <daftykins> hillary: identify the LAN adapter and check whether there are any issues with it
[15:58] <Jamples> hello?

[15:59] <Jamples> Hi guys, I need a hand getting ubuntu to run off of a USB memory stick, could anyone help me?
[15:59] <r4co0n> I'm trying to follow the upgrade guide from 13.10 -> 14.04 LTS on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/upgrade - Software Updater doesn't tell me about Ubuntu 14.04. Why?
[15:59] <mdev> buffers is using another 3.5 gigs
[15:59] <Jamples> I've followed the steps but gotten a random error message holding me up
[16:00] <Jamples> I'm a bit of a noob, I know, but I was hoping some smarty pantses here could give me a hand :)
[16:00] <daftykins> r4co0n: that page does nothing for me. have you run do-release-upgrade ?
[16:00] <daftykins> Jamples: best thing to do would be to share this error to the channel then
[16:00] <r4co0n> daftykins,  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade One shouldn't copy urls by hand sry
[16:01] <Jamples> daftykins: want me to paste the error log?
[16:01] <daftykins> Jamples: i don't, but for you to get help that's probably your best bet ;) also please address the channel as i will be leaving shortly
[16:02] <mibfrog> daftykins: alright, so i do "addgroup BFiles" and "adduser UserA BFiles" and then "sudo chown -R BFiles ~/home/B" ?
[16:02] <daftykins> Jamples: use paste.ubuntu.com
[16:02] <Jamples> daftykins: what's that?
[16:02] <daftykins> !paste | Jamples
[16:03] <r4co0n> daftykins, I just want the way that is documented there to work. Trying to show it to a computer illiterate.
[16:03] <daftykins> r4co0n: sorry, i deal with what works not something you find on a page
[16:03] <r4co0n> ubuntu.com
[16:03] <r4co0n> is YOUR page
[16:03] <Jamples> Hey guys, I have the iso set up on my USB stick, and I started the installation/demo/whatever thing, and it seems to work fine and reach 100%, but then I get an error. Here's the error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8404179/
[16:03] <Jamples> Any advice?
[16:04] <ceed^> Hi, I'm using Viber in Unity and it creates a floating icons instead of in the system tray (or whatever it's called these days). In Gnome it's created in the system tray. Why the difference?
[16:04] <r4co0n> i just install Debian, thanks a lot
[16:04] <daftykins> r4co0n: no, we are volunteers, we have no connection to Canonical.
[16:04] <daftykins> r4co0n: ok enjoy, goodbye
[16:05] <BlackFlag> Thanks! I will try it
[16:05] <daftykins> Jamples: don't ever use WUBI, we don't support it
[16:05] <Jamples> daftykins: what should I do, then?
[16:06] <daftykins> Jamples: boot directly from the USB flash drive and install alongside Windows or replace Windows
[16:06] <Jamples> daftykins: I just want to be able to boot ubuntu on my computer
[16:06] <daftykins> Jamples: sure, but WUBI is a way to install it, not boot
[16:06] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:06] <Jamples> daftykins: okay, how do I boot it from my usb? How do I get it to shoot up in the BIOS menu as an option?
[16:07] <Jamples> daftykins: I see Windows 7 as an option, but it doesn't recognize the ubuntu on my flash drive
[16:07] <daftykins> Jamples: what kind of system is this? you should have a key you can press to get a one-time boot menu
[16:07] <Farva> I seem to be completely unable to figure out setting up a DNS for my teamspeak can some one please help me. I have set my SRV records  and A records in cloudflare-that didn't work. I tried setting it up without cloudflare in my server configs, that didn't work....I am going nuts here
[16:07] <daftykins> Jamples: no, BIOS do not read what is on boot media, they can only refer to boot devices being available.
[16:08] <daftykins> Farva: DNS is nothing to do with ubuntu support, contact your hosting provider
[16:08] <Jamples> daftykins: Not sure what you mean. How do I go from the ubuntu iso file to running ubuntu on my computer?
[16:08] <Farva> here is the problem dafty, It was working just fine until I set up a virtual ip address, assigned it to that, and then it broke
[16:09] <daftykins> Jamples: so you're using Windows right now, download Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com to put the ubuntu 14.04 ISO onto the flash drive, then boot the flash drive.
[16:09] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:09] <Farva> I tried to set it back up the way it was and it wont go back. I have been to the end of all conversations with my host and with cloudflare, the problem is in my settings
[16:09] <Farva> daftykins: so it is in my ubuntu server settings some where I have something stopping the DNS from working
[16:09] <daftykins> Farva: reconfigure teamspeak to listen on the correct *real* IP then
[16:09] <Farva> I did
[16:09] <Farva> it still won't work...and it was working before
[16:10] <Jamples> daftykins: I've already done that. How do I "boot the flash drive"
[16:10] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:10] <Farva> if you could remind me of the file locations where those setting are located for DNS, I can show you how I have it set
[16:11] <daftykins> Farva: test connect to your server by IP to rule out DNS
[16:11] <Jamples> daftykins: I seem to have everything set up other than that the option of ubuntu just doesn't show up in the bios menu
[16:11] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:11] <daftykins> Jamples: you seem to have ignored the part where i asked what kind of system this is and said you should have a key to press to get a boot device menu
[16:11] <Farva> I can connect to the IP directly if that is what you mean, I just can't pull it up with nslookup or connect via dns
[16:11] <daftykins> !patience | Persistance
[16:12] <Jamples> daftykins: I have Windows 7, and I know, I press F1 to get to that menu
[16:12] <daftykins> Farva: so "nslookup yourdomain.tld" doesn't resolve to your server's IP? yep nothing to do with ubuntu then sorry.
[16:13] <kostkon> Persistance, why are you asking that
[16:13] <Jamples> daftykins: I've been to that menu and I didn't see anything but Windows 7 in it.
[16:13] <Farva> I understand that you are saying that, but I set it in Ubuntu so I don't know how that would not be related
[16:13] <Persistance> kostkon: need to know
[16:13] <daftykins> Jamples: i'm asking about the type of computer, laptop - desktop - custom build, factory build e.g. Dell, etc
[16:13] <daftykins> Farva: ubuntu does not tell the internet that your domain points to your IP
[16:13] <daftykins> Farva: you configure this with your domain provider
[16:13] <Jamples> daftykins: Oh, gotcha. Asus K53E
[16:13] <Persistance> I im trying to install Ultima Online with wine.. Sound works but mp3 music files are not played.. so i don't hear music........
[16:14] <Farva> I am working on a dedicated machine and my network is professionally hosted, I have been talking with them for over 3 weeks now trying to figure this out and it is all correct from their end
[16:14] <Persistance> Sy my queston: Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:14] <daftykins> Jamples: ok so that's a laptop, likely pressing escape at boot or F8 will give a device menu. *or* press delete or F2 to get into the BIOS and move to the 'boot' or 'exit' page to see boot devices
[16:14] <markling> hello #ubuntu. Is this the right place to get help copying a /home folder from one user account to another?

[16:16] <daftykins> Farva: try looking through your "history" to see if you can find what they had you doing. i cannot assist with this though, maybe they had you play with bind9
[16:16] <Persistance> Sy my queston: Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not? Wine doesn't play mp3 files..
[16:17] <MagicSpud> hello I just upgraded my cpu on a pc runnning ubuntu dual boot windows xp both 64 bits. but now some error message flashes just before the ubuntu splash screen how could I read that message once the system loads desktop¿?
[16:17] <kriskropd> ive forgotten what file I modified that enabled my ubuntu server to automatically run X11 under a user with a display attached - I wasn't using a display manager like gdm or lightdm - it was some simple file related to X11 to run as soon as the machine finished booting - ring a bell for anyone?
[16:17] <daftykins> Persistance: i asked you to stop repeating yourself.
[16:18] <Farva> daftykins: we never used bind9....I have done everything and it has been a month. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. I have no idea what to do, I have spoken with my host, my dns provider, ubuntu help, and teamspeak support numerous times...
[16:18] <daftykins> Farva: that was an example.
[16:19] <Farva> how do I see my history? I am very new to server management, we host a small gaming community and just got a dedi a month ago
[16:19] <daftykins> Farva: type "history"

[16:24] <rrichmon> Hey guys, I am looking for a starting point on how to create better accessibility(automate) tools in ubuntu. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[16:25] <daftykins> Persistance: go ask in ##winehq
[16:25] <Persistance> it's empty channel
[16:25] <Fuchs> yes, because it's #winehq
[16:25] <bazhang> #winehq Persistance
[16:25] <Fuchs> no idea why the double hash here.
[16:25] <Fuchs> (in general: you can search for channels with alis, see /msg alis help list. /msg alis list *searchterm* looks for channel names containing searchterm. /msg alis list * -topic *searchterm* looks for channel topics containing searchterm.)

[16:26] <vaskozl> Hey everyone, I'm a dropbox user, tadum, tadum, and some of the folders are not indexed properly by zeitgeist. What to do to index them?
[16:26] <Persistance> ok
[16:27] <poixninja> hey any help here with npm not doing ANYTHING?? at all
[16:27] <ajay_> heyy everyone
[16:27] <ajay_> howz u
[16:27] <vaskozl> we be good
[16:27] <ajay_> not bad
[16:27] <ajay_> wher frm u bro
[16:28] <teward> ajay_: do you have a technical Ubuntu support question?
[16:28] <vifino> poixninja: Go and ask in #node.js
[16:28] <ajay_> yup buddy
[16:28] <kriskropd> guys, we have #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:28] <ajay_> a developer q
[16:28] <poixninja> thanks
[16:28] <Farva> daftykins: well, it shows that I ran no commands on teamspeak to break it. I know what went wrong and I know it was when I added virtual IPs. The moment I did that, I lost the DNS to teamspeak-but once in a while it would decide to work after making any change almost to any setting (ubuntu or DNS settings)
[16:28] <ajay_> u wanna it
[16:28] <kriskropd> develoeprs ar enot here
[16:28] <ajay_> na
[16:28] <kriskropd> developers are not here*
[16:28] <ajay_> then where
[16:29] <kriskropd> you can ask in #ubuntu-irc
[16:29] <Farva> just last week I was here and some one jhutchins actually, had me change something in for my dns
[16:29] <kriskropd> they might be able to get you in touch with developers
[16:29] <ajay_> okie bro tell me about idm in ubuntu
[16:29] <ajay_> plz
[16:29] <ajay_> tell
[16:29] <ajay_> for idm in ubuntu
[16:29] <daftykins> Farva: i'm sorry but the way you're using technical terms show you don't understand the topic and i am leaving now so cannot help. maybe try and find him when he's active
[16:30] <Farva> daftykins: it was my etc/resolve.conf
[16:30] <Farva> no I don't understand! thats my problem
[16:30] <Farva> =[
[16:30] <vaskozl> btw, I fixed my problem by specifing 'sudo updatedb -e ~/Dropbox' simply 'sudo updatedb' does not work
[16:30] <vaskozl> I guess I'll set up a cron job
[16:30] <ajay_> internet download manager in ubuntu
[16:30] <Farva> isnt help for people that don't understand the topic?
[16:31] <kriskropd> ajay_: what about? or are you looking for software suggestions? :/
[16:31] <ajay_> ya buddy
[16:31] <kriskropd> ?? which is it?
[16:31] <ajay_> for idm software
[16:31] <vaskozl> actually, no still don't show up
[16:31] <vaskozl> damn it
[16:32] <ajay_> fast download manager
[16:32] <daftykins> ajay_: wget
[16:32] <kriskropd> ajay_: considering anyone can make their own and there are tons of download managers out there, this isn't a good channel for finding software - I use curl, some people like wget - if you want a gui, things get a lot less common pretty fast
[16:32] <Fuchs> ajay_: as in download managers? There are plenty, from simple stuff like wget to kget, fatrat, multistream, steadyflow ...
[16:32] <Fuchs> ajay_: without knowing your usecases, desktop environment in use etc. it is a tad bit hard to give good suggestions, though
[16:32] <chasep_work> I've found plenty of articles on how to INSTALL ubuntu on a chroot'ed system, but, I can't find anything about UPDATING. It's a VM template, so, I can't just boot it up and upgrade. I can, however, mount the disc, and then chroot. Besides mounting the root partition, mounting the boot partition, and the bind -o mounts (proc, dev, dev/pts, and sys), what else needs to be done?
[16:33] <ajay_> thanks bro
[16:33] <Farva> jhutchins: the other day you had my change some settings in my etc/resolve.conf to get my teamspeak DNS working and it worked for that day. now it is not working again. I am going crazy here, it has been a month and no one can seem to help me. I am only a month in on linux and have NO idea what I am doing please help =[

[16:37] <vifino> !language
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> AcidRain|2  medibuntu no longer exists
[16:38] <AcidRain|2> why
[16:38] <AcidRain|2> whos bright idea was that?
[16:38] <compdoc> mine
[16:40] <Farva> daftykins: thank you for teaching me the history command. It was an Ubuntu issue. I found it in sudo nano /etc/hosts. The DNS was resolving to the virtual IP not the system IP.
[16:40] <AcidRain|2> ok, i guess what i need to do then is manually install iceS from a complete backup to ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[16:40] <AcidRain|2> can anyone assist me with this?
[16:40] <Farva> it is working again...for now...
[16:42] <Pici> AcidRain|2: what is "iceS"?
[16:44] <rrichmon> can anyone help me out? I found the ubuntu-accessibility irc channel, but it seems to be pretty dead
[16:45] <AcidRain|2> iceS is an mp3 audio streamer
[16:46] <puff> LTS means the support window is 3 years instead of 18 months, but do LTS releases support upgrading from one LTS to the next LTS, instead of having to step through all the releases in between?
[16:46] <jhutchins> Farva: Are you sure we changed resolv.conf?  That can get overwritten if you run DHCP.
[16:47] <allen> hello
[16:47] <Farva> jhutchins: I thought it was that by looking at my history, I found nothing in there after all
[16:47] <Farva> it was in my etc/host/cofig
[16:47] <allen> hey how can i switch my language with keyboard?
[16:47] <Farva> or sumthin
[16:47] <allen> ??
[16:47] <jhutchins> chasep_work: If you chroot and mount /proc /sys and /dev, you should be able to just run aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade
[16:47] <Farva> and I found the problem and it should stay fixed now
[16:48] <jhutchins> chasep_work: follow the fixgrub instruction on how and what to mount.
[16:48] <Ahad> I am having trouble setting up USB in Virtualbox using win7
[16:48] <Ahad> help anyone ???
[16:48] <Farva> the hosts file was pointing to the virtual IP still, I had to point it toward my system IP
[16:48] <chasep_work> jhutchins: that's what I thought, but then I get errors about not being able to access various apt related files, as well as problems with generating boot images....
[16:48] <jhutchins> Farva: /etc/hosts - <IP>  <HOSTNAME>
[16:48] <chasep_work> jhutchins: okay, I'll look for that
[16:49] <Farva> yes, that was the one. I had the virtual IP in there, that was my problem I think. Teamspeak needs to run on the system IP is what I found out today
[16:49] <Farva> so fingers crossed that this fix sticks lol
[16:49] <jhutchins> Farva: Good, that sounds like progress.
[16:49] <Farva> =]
[16:50] <Ahad> I am having trouble setting up USB in Virtualbox using win7.. anyone?

[16:55] <gr1sha> hi, I feel a bit retard but I've lost my root password
[16:55] <gr1sha> I'm using a private key to ssh to my server so this might explain
[16:55] <gr1sha> is there anything I can do with the private key to change the root password?
[16:57] <jpds> gr1sha: Surely you're using sudo and not a root password?
[16:57] <AcidRain|2> the runtime linker is not able to find the libshout.so.3 file. As you have installed libshout from source, I would guess it will be down to a search path. The default prefix for our apps is /usr/local, so the libs will be in /usr/local/lib. If the runtime linker is not checking there then it won't find it, so check if /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, if not then add it (it's a text fil
[16:58] <gr1sha> jpds: I'm using sudo
[16:58] <jpds> gr1sha: So your user's password is what you've lost?
[16:58] <gr1sha> jpds: true
[16:59] <jpds> gr1sha: Short of booting into recovery mode, and resetting it there, not really.

[16:59] <rrichmon> Does anyone know how to automate accessibility tools in ubuntu? or can at least point me in the right direction? at the moment We are using Compiz config manager, but re adding the configuration each day is a hassle for the student
[16:59] <jhutchins> chasep_work: I meant to refer to the fixgrub stuff for what to mount so you effectively have a working system you can run apt-get/aptitude from.  With sudo of course.
[17:00] <jhutchins> chasep_work: Actually, sudo might be a little wierd in a chroot, I've never done that.

[17:00] <jpds> rrichmon: You mean, implement a configuration management solution?

[17:08] <acovrig> I copied files with cp and forgot the preserve permissions and ownership flag, is there an easy way too fix that after the fact without copying the files again?

[17:09] <pbx> acovrig, it's possible you could fix it with rsync. why not just copy again?

[17:34] <starlight_> Hello
[17:35] <starlight_> I have created a new partition (ext4, primary) but I don't know how to set it to /home, could anyone help?
[17:37] <loki__> starlight_, edit fstab
[17:37] <smithzv_> Hi, I just upgraded to 14.04 and after installing proprietary NVidia drivers, my computer goes black (the backlight appears to be off and the pixels seem to be clear) after the Ubuntu boot/splash screen.  Is there an official guide on how to trouble shoot this?  So far I've tried:
[17:38] <smithzv_> 1. removing nvidia drivers.  The nouveau drivers will work then, but the performance is not very good
[17:39] <loki__> smithzv_, how you install drviers?
[17:39] <smithzv_> 2. installing many different available versions of the nvidia drivers, they all seem to suffer from the same affliction...
[17:39] <loki__> drivers *
[17:39] <smithzv_> loki__: I tried from the GUI and via apt-get/aptitude in the CLI
[17:40] <starlight_> loki__:  I have no idea what fstab is, or how I need to edit it
[17:40] <smithzv_> loki__: within Unity it is in the settings somewhere, it doesn't use jockey anymore, I think
[17:40] <loki__> strange, i did clear installation of ubuntu and set it to use nvidia drivers, it was stright forward.
[17:41] <loki__> smithzv_, you used additional drivers dialog?
[17:41] <smithzv_> loki__: I am up for trying anything that might work,  I just reinstalled for the third time about 2 hours ago and finally decided to ask for help
[17:41] <smithzv_> loki__: yes, from the dialog
[17:42] <loki__> starlight_, what video card you have?
[17:42] <starlight_> radeon 7950
[17:42] <starlight_> why are you asking about my videocard?
[17:42] <loki__> starlight_, why then you use nvidia drivers?
[17:42] <starlight_> i want to set a partition to /home
[17:42] <starlight_> you got me mixed up
[17:42] <starlight_> with someone else
[17:42] <smithzv_> loki__: confused
[17:42] <loki__> ar not you.
[17:43] <smithzv_> I have a GeForce, 330M
[17:43] <starlight_> you told me to edit fstab, but i have no idea what it is
[17:43] <starlight_> so  i can set a partition to /home
[17:43] <loki__> starlight_, you free to use fstab as keyword and read additional information
[17:46] <smithzv_> There are several threads on askubuntu about dealing with similar symptoms, but they are usually just uninstall and then reinstall.  This doesn't seem to be doin it for me, unfortunately....
[17:47] <loki__> smithzv_, you done upgrade after installation?
[17:47] <loki__> you did *
[17:48] <smithzv_> The latest time I did a few dist-upgrades at the command line, that would do it, correct?  other times I tried to install the drivers before I upgraded the system (some people suggest that, don't know why)
[17:49] <smithzv_> The first time I think I did the most obvious thing, upgraded from within unity on the first boot, then upgraded the drivers via the dialog
[17:50] <smithzv_> I also tried messing around with x-edgers, as some people suggested that might help, but no luck...
[17:51] <smithzv_> loki__: oh, and trying to boot into failsafeX doesn't work for some other reason, I'll get that error message if I can right now

[17:55] <smithzv_> loki__: when going into failsafe, the output scrolls too fast to read, but the behavior is different, the keyboard backlight isn't on there and the computer seems, almost, off?  e.g. the fan is going pretty high on regular boot, but it is running but much quiter when I try for the failsafe.
[17:55] <smithzv_> anyway, I am throughly out of ideas... but I don't want to go back to 12.04
[17:58] <starlight_> loki__:  I have figured out how to edit fstab, but only one problem: After UUID=xxx /home ext4, I don't know what to put
[17:59] <starlight_> some people recommend 'defaults 1 2', some recommend other stuff, I can't find what it means or what to use
[18:00] <smithzv_> starlight_: check out /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[18:01] <smithzv_> those are symlinks to your /dev/sdxx
[18:01] <starlight_> loki__:  I am in that folder
[18:01] <starlight_> i see the files are named by UUIDs
[18:01] <loki__> starlight_, defaults are ok
[18:01] <starlight_> but what do they mean?
[18:02] <smithzv_> starlight_: ls -l
[18:02] <starlight_> i want to understand it but cant find anything on google or man pages
[18:02] <loki__> starlight_, it will be default options for every fs type i think.
[18:02] <starlight_> I understand the first 3 parameters: UUID, location and file system (ext4)
[18:02] <starlight_> but i dont understand the next 3 parameters
[18:03] <loki__> starlight_, type "man fstab" in commandline
[18:03] <starlight_> aww shit
[18:03] <starlight_> sorry about that
[18:03] <Zunino> When I boot into the recovery console, both the system date and keyboard mapping are wrong. Is there an easy way to fix those issues?
[18:03] <starlight_> i could have done that earlier
[18:03] <starlight_> i'll give that a read
[18:03] <Zunino> Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit FWIW.
[18:04] <preceptor> what should I do after installing xubuntu?im new here thanks!
[18:05] <loki__> smithzv_, i don't know how to help you. I sometimes have problem with my 560 ti and i did just upgrade or reinstall. You can try to check if nvidia module is loaded and check what xorg said in logs.
[18:05] <loki__> it would be good start point i think.
[18:05] <smithzv_> loki__: xorg.logs, good point
[18:07] <starlight_> loki, I've given it a read and i now understand the 4th, 5th and 6th parameters
[18:07] <loki__> and maybe you can search strings in dmesg about your video card, maybe there is something usefull.
[18:07] <starlight_> but one thing i am wondering: what does it mean to 'dump' a mounted drive?
[18:07] <starlight_> dump a filesystem* i mean
[18:08] <starlight_> i know that it needs to be either 'defaults 0 2' (no dumping) or 'defaults 1 2) (will dump the fs)
[18:09] <loki__> starlight_, maybe it is about dumpe2fs. But i don't think you need this.
[18:10] <starlight_> loki__:  "this field is used by the dump(8) command" is what it says
[18:10] <Nadeem> hi
[18:11] <loki__> starlight_, you can install dump and read what it do.
[18:11] <starlight_> oh wait i just checked it
[18:11] <starlight_> it backs up files that need to be backed up?
[18:11] <starlight_> and this page only mentions ext2/3 so i assume it is quite old
[18:12] <Carl_> Can anybody help me, I'm having trouble connecting remotely using Microsoft Remote Desktop
[18:12] <Nadeem> I have Lenovo G50-45 ... It has AMD A8 6410 ARM processor ... I am unable to install Ubuntu
[18:13] <bettycla1p> I've just installed a 14.04 vmware instance and via console I can see that ssh is up and listening. But I can't connect to it remotely. iptables shows no firewall rules, and 'ufw status' says 'inactive', which I'm guessing means there's no firewall, right? What could be the problem here?
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> Carl_  sure you're in he right channel?
[18:13] <Carl_> Not exactly. Just looking for any resource that might be able to help
[18:14] <Nadeem> Can someone help me plz
[18:14] <compdoc> Nadeem, I dont think amd sells ARM cpus yet
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  i'm in the same situation as you, vmware 14.04 and ssh ... make sure openssh-client and server are installed
[18:14] <Nadeem> yess
[18:14] <Nadeem> I dont no whats the problem
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> Carl_  type /j ##windows
[18:15] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: thanks for the tip, but as I said, not only are they installed, but the ssh server is up and listening.
[18:15] <Carl_> Thanks monkey
[18:15] <capsule> hello people
[18:15] <compdoc> thats not an ARM cpu
[18:16] <Nadeem> I made USB bootable and trying to install but it says try Ubuntu without Installing and withinstallation and when I choose one it just shows the cursor and nothing happens
[18:16] <capsule> please , i have problem about install of ubuntu games ...
[18:16] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  what happens when you use    ssh -X [remote user]@[remote IP] ?
[18:16] <loki__> Nadeem, try to load live cd
[18:16] <loki__> and then try to install it.
[18:16] <capsule> when i try to lauch "heroesIII" after install , i have this message on terminal : XF86DGAGetVideo: failed to mmap /dev/mem (Invalid argument)
[18:17] <capsule> do you know how can i fix this ?
[18:17] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: it hangs then times out. Note that the same command works on the machine itself (in console).
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  what's the remote machine? ubuntu?
[18:18] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: yes
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  which ubuntu?
[18:19] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: as I said: 14.04.
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> yes, but 14.04 guest and host?
[18:20] <capsule> when i try to lauch "heroesIII" after install , i have this message on terminal : XF86DGAGetVideo: failed to mmap /dev/mem (Invalid argument) , anyone can be help me , please ?

[18:21] <capsule> bye
[18:22] <theo_> I was wondering if anyone can assist me? I need a script to periodically print a test page on my inkjet in order to keep the printhead in good nick.
[18:22] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: the guest is Ubuntu 14.04. vmware is running the show on the remote end, but I'm afraid I don't what exactly what OS the host is running.
[18:23] <ghoulsblade> hi all, trying to install google earth on ubuntu 64bit 14.04 , ubunut-wiki says to install 32bit version and do some apt-get install libc6:i386, but that throws couldnt find pack error. i already activated universe+multiverse in packetlibs and did update. help please ? =)
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  i guess i missed something... when you switch on the pc, which OS is it?
[18:24] <starlight_> I have really fucked up. I can't login to Ubuntu on my user account and I am having to use a guest account. The password is correct, but the changes I made to /etc/fstab are preventing it.
[18:24] <starlight_> I think I was supposed to use /media/home instead of /home in fstab
[18:24] <Nadeem> I have Lenovo G50-45 with 4GB RAM and AMD 6410 APU processor ... I am unable to install Ubuntu on it
[18:25] <nukeu666> help, i have a similar wifi problem to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/08/msg00184.html
[18:25] <nukeu666> i have to dhclient wlan0, then ^C it, then ifdown ifup wlan0 for net connection to work
[18:26] <minimec> ghoulsblade: I used that howto to force a 32bit installation on my 64bot system. Worked like charm... http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/install-google-earth-in-ubuntu-1404.html
[18:26] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: nvm, it seems I solved the problem. Thanks for the help all the same...
[18:26] <starlight_> can anyone help me?
[18:26] <name_> @starlight: if you know so exactly what the problem is, you could just boot in with a live disk/usb and make changes to fstab right?
[18:26] <Nadeem> Can someone help me plz
[18:27] <starlight_> name_:  didnt know you could do that
[18:27] <nukeu666> Nadeem, what error?
[18:27] <starlight_> i will try it out now
[18:27] <name_> I am not entirely sure if it works eighter, but it is a strong possibility.
[18:28] <Nadeem> no error.. when I boot from usb it says try without installation and with installation... no matter what I choose it just shows the cursor and does not go further
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | Nadeem try this
[18:29] <Nadeem> Let me check it sir thank you
[18:30] <minimec> Nadeem: Just another one to show how to boot with nomodeset ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/152847/how-to-access-boot-options-12-04-live-usb
[18:32] <Nadeem> okay sir
[18:32] <Nadeem> thank you
[18:32] <name_> Sorry, does anybody know for sure if the files of a normal linux (ubuntu) partition are accessible for writing through a live disk, or are there some means of prevention against tampering with them?
[18:33] <daftykins> name_: depends if you have a normal disk setup or encryption, etc
[18:34] <name_> I am asking this because _starlight just went to boot from a live disk and change the fstab file on his existing installation which he dosent have normal access to.
[18:34] <OerHeks> name_, they are, unless you have an excrypted disc
[18:34] <name_> I dont think he has.
[18:34] <daftykins> name_: when a user has physical access to a system and is able to boot alternative media, all security bets are off.
[18:34] <name_> Ok, thanks. Never tried yet, only with windows files.
[18:34] <bekks> name_: you just need sudo to edit the /etc/fstab file - no need for a live medium.
[18:34] <name_> Sure?
[18:35] <bekks> name_: Sure.
[18:35] <Nadeem> okay so when I see that screen I just need to type nomodeset
[18:35] <Nadeem> right
[18:35] <minimec> name_: Per default, NO, because they don't have the same owner, but if the /home directory is not encrypted, you can write on them launching the software as 'sudo', but you will change the owner of that fiel to 'root'.
[18:35] <daftykins> Nadeem: append it to the line as the links say
[18:35] <daftykins> Nadeem: you don't need to type it though, press F6 and enable it as an option
[18:36] <Nadeem> okay so when I see that blank screen I need to press F6 thats it .. right ?
[18:37] <OerHeks> before that, when you choose live/install
[18:38] <name_> @bekks & minimec: Well, at least on ununtu 12.04 you dint have sudo rights as guest as far as i can recall.
[18:39] <daftykins> name_: they weren't talking about as guest
[18:39] <name_> He cannot log in otherwise.
[18:39] <name_> Thats the source of his problem.
[18:39] <daftykins> name_: no offence, but this is a support channel. if you don't know, you shouldn't really be providing advice
[18:39] <manikanta> hi
[18:39] <bekks> name_: Which is expected, yes. You didnt tell us he is/was using the guest account.
[18:39] <daftykins> bekks: the user did
[18:39] <name_> His text is just above.
[18:39] <name_> @daftykins: Ok.
[18:40] <daftykins> name_: for what it's worth, the better solution would've been !recovery
[18:40] <daftykins> no need to mess with alternate boot media that way
[18:41] <minimec> name_: That would somehow surprise me. A user 'live-disk' should not be able to overwrite files of user 'minimec'. Maybe if they have the same user ID by chance, user  'live-disk' and 'minimec' got ID 1000 during installation...
[18:42] <Clifo> !lista
[18:42] <daftykins> it's like a fly zapper that thing
[18:42] <Clifo> !addon
[18:43] <daftykins> Clifo: do you have a support question?
[18:43] <Clifo> "!addon"
[18:43] <rww> that's a new one
[18:44] <ashwin_> hi..
[18:44] <daftykins> hello
[18:44] <rww> Clifo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu technical support channel, for support questions related to Ubuntu. It is not for general chat or download/warez.
[18:44] <ashwin_> ok
[18:44] <ashwin_> i am actually new to this
[18:44] <ashwin_> thank you
[18:44] <daftykins> ashwin_: do you have a question? the above wasn't for you
[18:45] <name_> I @minimec: i see. Well, you are probably right.
[18:45] <starlight_> i beg of someone to please help me
[18:46] <starlight_> i have tried to edit this fstab file on a live USB stick, but it wont let me
[18:46] <theo_> starlight: whats up?
[18:46] <daftykins> starlight_: you should use recovery mode to get a root shell and undo what you did wrong
[18:46] <daftykins> !recovery | starlight_
[18:46] <starlight_> it does boot normally
[18:46] <daftykins> starlight_: just read it
[18:46] <starlight_> but when i login to my account, it takes me back to the login screen
[18:46] <starlight_> !recovery
[18:47] <daftykins> starlight_: i already typed that, read the link.
[18:47] <starlight_> ok
[18:48] <starlight_> ok ill try this
[18:48] <Virca7816> is it a good idea, to install ubuntu on raspberry pi, with zswap?
[18:49] <ikonia> Virca7816: ubuntu doesn't run on a pi
[18:49] <OerHeks> Virca7816, no, as ubuntu needs arm7 or higher
[18:49] <Virca7816> hmm, maybe, old version of ubuntu can?
[18:50] <OerHeks> !arm
[18:50] <rww> Virca7816: none that are supported here
[18:50] <Virca7816> thanks
[18:50] <Virca7816> Thanks!
[18:50] <rww> (support stopped in 9.10)
[18:51] <Virca7816> I love irc. Quick answer, quick support, nyaaa :)
[18:53] <ikonia> rww: was it really 9.10 the last version that would have run on the right arm
[18:53] <rww> ikonia: no, 9.04. 9.10 was the first that didn't
[18:53] <reisio> well, Ubuntu does run on a Raspberry Pi, just not any official version of Ubuntu this channel is allowed to support :p
[18:53] <ikonia> ahh
[18:53] <reisio> what's more important is that many versions of Debian run on it
[18:53] <daftykins> off topic though.
[18:55] <reisio> echo in here...
[18:57] <Rhode1> Some french users here ? I can't find the french channel
[18:57] <ikonia> #ubuntu-fr
[18:58] <name_> Good luck, starlight_!
[18:59] <Rhode1> ^^ Merci
[18:59] <starlight_> Still can't edit fstab, even in recovery mode. I tried mounting / as read-write but it still gave me the permission denied errors
[19:00] <starlight_> for those who missed what i said earlier: i can't log on to my account because i fucked up on the fstab edit
[19:00] <ikonia> starlight_: please control your language
[19:00] <ikonia> starlight_: there is no need to swear
[19:00] <starlight_> sorry
[19:00] <daftykins> starlight_: you were trying to remount / read write yes?
[19:01] <starlight_> yes
[19:01] <starlight_> i tried this:
[19:01] <daftykins> what errors did you get?
[19:01] <starlight_> mount -o remount,rw /
[19:01] <starlight_> "bash: permission denied" when i tried to access fstab
[19:01] <damascene> Hi, some how my ubuntu dns is notworking with the dns server I'm testing. when I query the dns server with dig it gives me the records. in network manager I set the same server but it does not recognize domain when I ping
[19:01] <ikonia> the mount command is nothing to do with you trying to access the fstab
[19:01] <ikonia> what is the command and what is the error
[19:01] <starlight_> i know
[19:01] <starlight_> ok, before accessing fstab
[19:01] <starlight_> i need to make sure / is read-write
[19:02] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the output of the mount command you run
[19:02] <starlight_> it gives no output
[19:02] <daftykins> starlight_: i'm asking if there was an error from the mount command
[19:02] <starlight_> no error from mount command
[19:02] <daftykins> ok so what did you try to run to edit fstab?
[19:02] <ikonia> starlight_: that suggests it's mounted ok
[19:02] <ikonia> so what is the next command (exactly) that's erroring
[19:02] <starlight_> i tried to access it by typing /etc/fstab
[19:02] <daftykins> not going to work
[19:02] <starlight_> and it gave me permission denied
[19:02] <ikonia> that's not a valid command
[19:02] <daftykins> "nano /etc/fstab"
[19:02] <starlight_> oh ok
[19:02] <ikonia> you're trying to execute a text file
[19:03] <starlight_> nano is a command line editor?
[19:03] <justin_xp> hi
[19:03] <daftykins> text editor yes
[19:03] <starlight_> ok thanks guys
[19:03] <starlight_> i will try this out
[19:03] <starlight_> bbl
[19:04] <justin_xp> where is window channel
[19:04] <frenda> How can I restart /etc/hosts after editing without restart/logout?
[19:04] <ikonia> frenda: you don't stop/start /etc/hosts
[19:04] <ikonia> justin_xp: ##windows
[19:04] <OerHeks> justin_xp, join ##windows
[19:05] <frenda> Is it in-time? ikonia: ^
[19:05] <ikonia> frenda: it's a text file thats parsed on each lookup
[19:06] <frenda> ikonia: I've added this line into it:
[19:06] <frenda> `127.0.0.1       hello.site`
[19:06] <frenda> but
[19:06] <frenda> hello.site does not open as localhos!
[19:06] <ikonia> what do you mean doesn't open ?
[19:07] <ikonia> what exactly are you doing
[19:08] <frenda> ikonia: I want to change ServeName (in vhost config file) from localhost to hello.locally because of https://github.com/Goteo/Goteo/issues/137#issuecomment-56168329
[19:08] <frenda> or hello.site
[19:09] <ikonia> frenda: right ?
[19:09] <ikonia> frenda: so you've put an entry in /etc/hosts, then what ?
[19:10] <frenda> I get this error in chrome: The requested URL could not be retrieved, The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://mygoteo.site/  Unable to determine IP address from host name mygoteo.site
[19:11] <ikonia> frenda: you're typing in mygoteo.site
[19:11] <ikonia> frenda: you didn't put mygoteo.site in your hostfile
[19:11] <ikonia> you put hello.local
[19:11] <frenda> I'm care
[19:11] <ikonia> hello.site sorry
[19:11] <ikonia> you're care ?
[19:12] <stevendumani> I'm not care
[19:12] <frenda> I've put mygoteo.site; I just use hello.site here to make make it clear!
[19:12] <frenda> ikonia: ^
[19:12] <ikonia> sorry - I'm not getting into this
[19:12] <ikonia> you said you'd put hello.site into the /etc/hosts file - you actually pasted it as "I've put this"
[19:12] <ikonia> now you're telling me you've put something different
[19:13] <ikonia> I suggest you look if its using dns or the hostfile - I suspect dns
[19:13] <ikonia> I'm not really interested in helping with fake info
[19:15] <m_tadeu> hi...what's the difference between "sudo service xxx start" ans "sudo start xxx"?
[19:15] <mlindner> Does anyone know how to feed seg fault messages generated from programs started by upstart to logs as well as the main stdout and stderr?
[19:15] <mlindner>  or do i need to manually write a parser to read the return code of the program
[19:16] <frenda> fake? I share the original link: https://github.com/Goteo/Goteo/issues/137#issuecomment-56168329 --> mygoteo.local has a problem becaus .local is a tld -->  `mygoteo.site` is what I insert in that file  --> I use hello instead of mygoteo to make it simple: hello.site; ikonia: ^
[19:17] <frenda> However, Chrome is telling me: The DNS server returned:  Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
[19:19] <pratikxolt> HI GUYS
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> caps
[19:20] <johncooper> to stop Linux from crashing, what should I install with Trusty and 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)?
[19:20] <ikonia> linux shouldn't be crashing
[19:21] <johncooper> ikonia: I know
[19:21] <ikonia> so why do you think it's a graphics problem ?
[19:22] <johncooper> because it crashes to a skewed 'rolling picture' pattern (frozen). only responds to reisub
[19:22] <bennypr0fane_> hello, who can tell me about DNS+SSL? I want to use my domain for a https site. they say that's not possible bcs I'd have to migrate the domain to the server where the certificate is located. I don't really understand what they mean. by migrating the domain i would understand moving it to a different registrar. does that mean SSL domains can only be on the same servers as their registrar?
[19:22] <ikonia> apologies, but I don't know what a rolling picture patern is
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: nothing to do with dns
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: your webserver needs to support ssl and you need to install / buy a valid ssl certficiate on that site
[19:23] <bennypr0fane_> *to clarify, ""they are the provider i rented the domain from
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: nothing to do with providers
[19:24] <pratikxolt> unfortunately  i unistalled unity config by unstalling compiz config and now bad thing is that it is not opening terminal
[19:24] <pratikxolt> plz help
[19:25] <johncooper> ikonia: 3cm bar of of sky blue, 0.5cm of white bar, 1cm of black bar, repeat for the whole screen and its rotated about 20 degrees to the left. and this happens when 3D apps are run including DOSBox and composited
[19:25] <ikonia> johncooper: what video card module (driver) are you currently using ?
[19:25] <johncooper> not sure
[19:25] <johncooper> nvidia-common?
[19:25] <ikonia> johncooper: do you get offered nvida drives from ubuntu ?
[19:26] <johncooper> ikonia: before the upgrade to trusty, yes. since, no. I works for a short while after the upgrade
[19:26] <ikonia> johncooper: what version did you upgrade from
[19:27] <johncooper> pretty sure it was raring
[19:27] <johncooper> had quantal before raring
[19:28] <ikonia> johncooper: what happens if you open the additional divers tab
[19:28] <stevendumani> did i miss the answer? I was asking about minbar, I'm running it in terminal and I'm getting this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8402856/ but the main window won't show, I'm using trusty 64bit
[19:29] <minimec> pratikxolt: If you are familiar with the terminal, you can switch to a non graphical console with <ctrl><alt>f1, and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal', or maybe better 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-desktop' ...
[19:30] <_justinsd> Hello
[19:30] <_justinsd> Does anyone in here use logrotate?
[19:30] <bennypr0fane_> what's more, i actually have pointed my server's IP to that domain with https, and it works! I use a self-signed certificate, and that's fine because the server is a single-user instance of Owncloud at my house. I'm just not sure if it's in fact secure now because the provider said "it can't work", so I'm afraid something might be wrong there.
[19:30] <_justinsd> I was wondering if the logs referenced in logrotate need to be added to syslog or not.
[19:30] <pratikxolt> jhnx #minimec stay online i will tell you what happens
[19:31] <tnli> Does anyone have experience on installing ubuntu on Thinkpad S440?
[19:31] <johncooper> I'll try that. incase it freezes me, see you in my next boot
[19:32] <tnli> the resources on internet weren't too convincing.
[19:32] <bennypr0fane_> tnli what seems to be the problem?
[19:32] <pratikxolt> #tnli are you going to dual boot the system?
[19:32] <thurstylark> are there guidelines documented somewhere for icons and themes for unity? I would like to create a theme, and would like to know some best practices for my first attempt.
[19:33] <tnli> Probably not, I have a 256 gig ssd, not enough for a dual boot, imo
[19:33] <pratikxolt> thnx minimec first option works
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> tnli  i have 250GB and had dual boot, before i deleted windows
[19:34] <pratikxolt> ubuntu requires only 6.5 gb of space to install
[19:34] <minimec> pratikxolt: cool!
[19:34] <bennypr0fane_> tnli have you tried installing it and failed, or are you just worried it might cause problems?
[19:34] <tnli> I don't think it's worth it, if I can get eve online to work on this. :D
[19:35] <unstable> I'm trying to install smartmontools 6.2 or higher on precise. trusty has the latest version, but it's compiled against a newer version of libc. Is there a way to take the deb src from trusty, and compile a deb for precise with similar options. (note, I do _not_ want to compile from source)
[19:35] <MonkeyDust> unstable  try the !backports
[19:36] <^^x^^> if I have /very/long/path/toFile.txt and I want toFile.txt to be readable by everybody, do I have to chmod anything in particular along the /very/long/path ??
[19:36] <unstable> !backports
[19:36] <tnli> I heard that the drivers for the wireless card are not too good.
[19:36] <pbx> ^^x^^, no, as long as you don't need them to be able to find the file by drilling down dir by dir
[19:36] <thurstylark> is it still supported to upgrade from 13.10 using do-release upgrade?
[19:37] <xangua> !eol | thurstylark
[19:37] <pratikxolt> does any one knows how to sync smartphone to ubntu
[19:37] <unstable> MonkeyDust: The only one is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/s/smartmontools/smartmontools_6.2+svn3841-1.2_amd64.deb , which requires a newer version of libc
[19:37] <tnli> I guess I should just make the ubuntu usb stick and test it all, yes? :)
[19:37] <^^x^^> pbx: thank you sir!
[19:38] <minimec> thurstylark: SHould be possible. I would maybe change the sources to the old.releases repo and do an update/upgrade. Then launch the system upgrade.
[19:39] <starlight_> hello
[19:39] <sempf> I am getting hundreds of 404s from 91.189.91.13 trying to use apt-get on 13.04. Just me? Anyone else?
[19:39] <thurstylark> minimec: Where would I find the old.releases urls?
[19:39] <ikonia> 13.04 repos are dead
[19:39] <ikonia> hence why you get 404
[19:39] <OerHeks> sempf, that is normal, 13.03 ie EOL
[19:40] <minimec> thurstylark: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[19:40] <starlight_> I managed to fix /etc/fstab so that I can login again, but I have encountered another problem now: the partition I want to use for /home does not show up on the devices list and /media/home is linking to my windows 7 partition
[19:40] <preceptor> where is a good place to start when learning about ubuntu/linux?
[19:40] <ikonia> /media/home is not where your home directory is
[19:40] <thurstylark> sempf: I'm dealing with the same thing. Look at my convo just now... :P
[19:41] <starlight_> i had to use rsync to move /home to /media/home as recommended by this guide
[19:41] <thurstylark> minimec: thanks a bunch!
[19:41] <starlight_> and then change /media/home in fstab to /home once i had migrated the files
[19:41] <ikonia> starlight_: so what's the problem ?
[19:41] <yecril71pl> Can I have a non-breaking space under [Shift [Space]]?
[19:41] <minimec> thurstylark: No problem. YOur not alone. --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/502905/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-13-10-end-of-life-to-ubuntu-14-04
[19:42] <pratikxolt> #minimec need some help
[19:42] <starlight_> the partition i was going to link /home to does not appear on the list of devices anymore, and /media/home is, oddly enough, linking to my windows 7 partition
[19:42] <starlight_> i have used the correct UUID in /etc/fstab
[19:42] <jhutchins> starlight_: What guide?  It sounds like you missed a detail somewhere along the line.  What did you originally mount on /media/home?
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:42] <OerHeks> starlight_, /media/home/ is ext4 or ntfs ?
[19:42] <starlight_> hang on i will link you up
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: just answer the question
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:42] <jhutchins> Too many helpers.
[19:42] <pratikxolt> status bar  and left side dock bar is not visible
[19:42] <thurstylark> minimec: strangely enough, 13.10 isn't listed there, but under releases.ubuntu.com...
[19:43] <starlight_> here is the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[19:43] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[19:43] <starlight_> oh sorry
[19:43] <starlight_> as an answer to your question:
[19:43] <thurstylark> pratikxolt: use his username without the # to properly higlight on IRC :) jsyk
[19:43] <rww> thurstylark: old releases aren't moved for a little bit after they go EOL, so you can just stick with the normal address and ignore changing to old-releases when following upgrade instructions
[19:44] <starlight_> i am typing a response but it is not showing up
[19:44] <pratikxolt> sorry #thurstylark
[19:44] <Ben64> starlight_: use two slashes at the beginning
[19:44] <starlight_> ah damn :P thats it
[19:44] <thurstylark> pratikxolt: It's cool, you just might get better results without using # is all. :)
[19:45] <starlight_> ok: //media/home is linking to an NTFS partition (should not be doing this) and /home is just linking to the usual place
[19:45] <starlight_> i tried 2 // but it didnt work again
[19:45] <thurstylark> rww: Ahh. awesome. Thanks.
[19:45] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:45] <pratikxolt> i dont know what are u saying
[19:46] <Ben64> like /dev/sda1
[19:46] <Ben64> is what ikonia wants
[19:46] <starlight_> oh, it is /dev/sda2
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: can you mount /dev/sda2
[19:46] <pratikxolt> got it
[19:46] <starlight_> yes
[19:46] <minimec> thurstylark: Is it. But if you do the changes 'accordingly' to other old releases, you will see when you update if the repo is available. I you do an update/upgrade right now, do you get no error messages for missing repos? In that case, I guess you are good for the update.
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: so it is showing p
[19:46] <ikonia> up
[19:46] <starlight_> but i cant mount /dev/sda4 anymore because it has disappeared
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: what has sda4 got to do with anything ?
[19:47] <starlight_> it is the empty partition i am trying to set /home to
[19:47] <thurstylark> minimec: I'm only getting a 404 for http://ppa.launchpad.net saucy/main i386 Packages. All the other repos are working fine.
[19:47] <pratikxolt> minimec need some help
[19:47] <starlight_> it is ext4 and i have set the UUID of it in /etc/fstab
[19:47] <ikonia> starlight_: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" please
[19:47] <pratikxolt> status bar  and left side dock bar is not visible
[19:47] <minimec> thurstylark: Well ok. So I guess your goo for the upgrade. The ppa's will be disabled anyway...
[19:48] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405614/
[19:48] <s5s> Hi has anyone got Nvidia Optimus working with multiple monitors? I've got a thinkpad W520 and I can't get it to work under ubuntu. I can only get it to work under arch linux but I'd like to use ubuntu...
[19:48] <bekks> !saucy | thurstylark
[19:48] <ikonia> starlight_: /dev/sda4 is there
[19:48] <ikonia> starlight_: why do you think it's not there
[19:48] <starlight_> sorry if this is very confusing, i just wanted to use a partition for /home and everything is going wrong
[19:48] <starlight_> it doesnt show up on my list of devices
[19:48] <starlight_> in the explorer thing
[19:48] <minimec> pratikxolt: Ask your question to all the users here. Like that others might answer too.
[19:48] <ikonia> it shows up there
[19:48] <ikonia> you can see it /dev/sda4
[19:48] <thurstylark> minimec: mmkay. By my logic, i would assume that I would be able to get far enough to get to a supported version, then resolve unmet dependancies later. Sound crazy?
[19:49] <thurstylark> Guys. I get it. 13.10 is eol. chill.
[19:49] <unstable> Best guide for making a deb for precise that already exists in trusty? The dependencies are really simple.
[19:50] <starlight_> i have tried "sudo mount -a" and it still doesn't show up in that left panel (GUI)
[19:50] <ikonia> mount -a won't mount anything that's not in fstab
[19:50] <starlight_> i have made sure to add /dev/sda4 to fstab, as the guide told me to
[19:50] <starlight_> for /home
[19:51] <starlight_> this is what it told me to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[19:51] <Ben64> starlight_: probably did it incorrectly. pastebin "sudo blkid"
[19:51] <ikonia> starlight_: so what's the problem then
[19:51] <starlight_> hang on
[19:51] <starlight_> pastebin this first
[19:51] <minimec> pratikxolt: Ok. I se  your question now. Use the second command I gave you to reinstall all needed packages for a normal ubuntu-desktop.
[19:51] <Ben64> starlight_: oh, and pastebin your fstab
[19:51] <minimec> pratikxolt: If you are familiar with the terminal, you can switch to a non graphical console with <ctrl><alt>f1, and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal', or maybe better 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-desktop' ...
[19:52] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405649/
[19:53] <ikonia> starlight_: why do you think it's not mounted ?
[19:54] <starlight_> if you click the 'files' icon on the left panel on the desktop (unity), it brings up a list of devices in the left panel of that window
[19:54] <starlight_> the 52GB partition wont show up anymore
[19:54] <starlight_> since i made the fstab edits
[19:54] <starlight_> and /home isnt linking to that partition either
[19:54] <thurstylark> minimec: kind of nuke and pave on that last answer, eh?
[19:54] <ikonia> starlight_: pastebin the output of the command "mount"
[19:55] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405661/
[19:55] <ikonia> starlight_:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405661/
[19:55] <ikonia> oops
[19:56] <ikonia> starlight_: /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw)
[19:56] <ikonia> starlight_: it's mounted
[19:56] <henry_> setting up my first ever server. so pumped.
[19:56] <starlight_> but why am i not able to access it, why does /home not link to it, and why does /media/home link to my NTFS partition?
[19:56] <starlight_> it is all very weird
[19:56] <starlight_> i followed the instructions from that wiki very clearly
[19:56] <thurstylark> henry_: it's a good feeling :)
[19:57]  * rww shakes head at silly IRC clients
[19:57] <ikonia> starlight_: you can access /home just fine
[19:57] <thurstylark> rww jeez thanks :P
[19:58] <rww> not you :P
[19:58] <starlight_> OH WAIT
[19:58] <starlight_> sorry
[19:58] <starlight_> i just checked the properties for my user folder in /home
[19:58] <starlight_> it shows up as having about 50GB free space
[19:58] <starlight_> it has worked then
[19:59] <starlight_> but /media/home still links to my NTFS partition
[19:59] <starlight_> not sure why
[19:59] <starlight_> oops
[19:59] <ikonia> why do you really care ?
[19:59] <starlight_> oh it doesnt matter
[19:59] <ikonia> it's mounting your ntfs directory based on it's label
[19:59] <starlight_> i will figure it out
[20:01] <thurstylark> is there an alternative to http://ppa.launchpad.net saucy/main i386 Packages so I can upgrade out of 13.10?
[20:03] <daftykins> henry_: you might want to know of #ubuntu-server
[20:03] <starlight_> i think i may have misunderstood something about /media
[20:03] <starlight_> from what i have just read: /media/username contains all mounted drives, except /, correct?
[20:04] <daftykins> no
[20:04] <starlight_> so in this case it only shows my NTFS partition
[20:04] <starlight_> oh
[20:04] <starlight_> damn
[20:04] <daftykins> ignore that, i hit enter in the wrong channel
[20:04] <starlight_> oh
[20:04] <starlight_> so i am correct?
[20:06] <nuke_> i just installed the japanese locale, now everything is coming in japanese...i want englishhh as default like before...help
[20:06] <starlight_> thankyou for your help guys
[20:06] <geirha> starlight_: Not exactly
[20:07] <thurstylark> ugh. why did compiz just restart.... -_-
[20:07] <starlight_> "contains mount points for replaceable media", so NTFS is the only 'replaceable' partition i have?
[20:07] <preceptor> how do i run programs automatically on startup?
[20:07] <geirha> I haven't been following the case though, but ''df -h'' will probably show some more mounts than / and ones inside /media/username
[20:08] <preceptor> i did the settings manager-startup-add but it didn't work
[20:08] <stevendumani> so what can I do about minbar problem in trusty 64bit? I don't know what else to try!
[20:08] <thurstylark> Where do I find logs?
[20:08] <nuke_> thurstylark, /var/log
[20:08] <thurstylark> I'm looking for compiz logs
[20:09] <starlight_> geirha: thanks for that, useful command
[20:09] <starlight_> i have just learned why /run has a different storage capacity from other folders in /
[20:09] <starlight_> it has its own partition(s)
[20:10] <starlight_> how do you guys cope with all the 'username joined/quit channel' messages in this IRC room?
[20:10] <preceptor> how do i automatically run programs on startup?
[20:10] <starlight_> is it because I am using the web client?
[20:10] <starlight_> it is quite spammy
[20:11] <Fuchs> starlight_: most clients have a setting to disable it, but quite a lot of people, including me, simply don't bother
[20:11] <geirha> starlight_: yes, tmpfs which basically means /run is stored in RAM
[20:11] <starlight_> oh ok
[20:11] <Fuchs> because most clients also display these in a different colour, so it's easy to see what messages are actually more interesting
[20:11] <starlight_> ah i see
[20:11] <starlight_> i will get a client at some point
[20:12] <starlight_> thankyou to all the people who helped me solve my (lack of a) problem
[20:12] <geirha> because /run (and /var/run) is only meant to hold files for running programs
[20:12] <starlight_> at least now i know how the mounts and /media actually work
[20:12] <starlight_> geirha: /run is volatile storage?
[20:12] <geirha> It's gone when you reboot, yes
[20:12] <starlight_> alrightey
[20:13] <geirha> or "wiped" if you prefer
[20:13] <starlight_> yes
[20:13] <starlight_> sort of labelled as 'this can be freely overwritten'
[20:13] <starlight_> rather than irrecoverably removed
[20:13] <Fernest> I'd like to run a mail server on my ubuntu server. Can anyone recommend a good, free one?
[20:13] <starlight_> like when you delete any file
[20:13] <starlight_> afaik
[20:14] <pbx> Fernest, postfix
[20:14] <jhutchins> Fernest: There are three fairly popular ones and a handful of lesser ones, but you need to understand some of the implications of running your own server.
[20:15] <pbx> Fernest, and of course what jhutchins said.  running a mail server is a thankless and fraught task
[20:15] <hecatae> how do I bring up the unity shortcuts screen in case I want to remember the key bindings?
[20:15] <jhutchins> Fernest: If you're planning on using it to send your own outbound mail, be aware that you'll probably have to relay it through a commercial service.  Private mailers are discouraged and blocked by many sites out of concern for spam and malware.
[20:16] <guntbert> hecatae: press <win> for a second
[20:16] <Fernest> jhutchins oh!
[20:16] <jhutchins> Fernest: Having an exposed inbound server is a problem for those same reasons, and because you then become a target for people tying to relay their spam and malware through yoru server.
[20:16] <Fernest> jhutchins: This was exactly why I was intending to use one: To reduce the costs.
[20:16] <hecatae> guntbert,  that seems to just bring up the search bar?
[20:16] <hecatae> ahh long press got it
[20:16] <guntbert> hecatae: keep it pressed
[20:16] <Fernest> pbx jhutchins: I'll read about them. Thank you!
[20:17] <jhutchins> Fernest: sendmail, postfix, and exim are the three big ones.
[20:17] <Fernest> jhutchins: It's for a small web shop I'd like to run. Own hosting, administration and mail. It won't make much money and will have not many customers. Would you advice me to use third party still?
[20:18] <hwilde> how to hide passwords in config files ?
[20:18] <jhutchins> Fernest: Yes, I probably would.  A commercial account with gmail or your provider or registrar is just as professional.  Even some of the big shops contract it out because it's such a headache.
[20:19] <geirha> hwilde: make sure the config file is only writable and readable to the users that need either
[20:19] <hwilde> geirha, looking for one step beyond that, since many people can do sudo
[20:19] <Fernest> jhutchins: Is there a way to use gmail and still appear as e.g. info@my-webshop.com ?
[20:19] <thurstylark> Looks like I might be better off moving my home to another partition, and doing a complete reinstall. do-release-upgrade has way too many repo errors for me to be comfortable with it...
[20:20] <geirha> hwilde: Then you can't really hide it ...
[20:20] <chasep_work> Fernest: I use dreamhost for all my webhosting, but gmail for all my email hosting - uses my own domain(s)
[20:20] <hwilde> for example, not everyone should see the mail password in the ssmtp config,  or the logins  in .ssh/config
[20:20] <chasep_work> Fernest: it's free
[20:20] <jhutchins> Fernest: Yes.  They charge a fee for that, but it's pretty reasonable.
[20:20] <thurstylark> How do I get a list of packages installed?
[20:20] <geirha> If you give users unrestricted root access with sudo, you really do give them unrestricted access to the system
[20:21] <jhutchins> thurstylark: dpkg -l
[20:21] <chasep_work> jhutchins: I don't pay anything for it, and I've got at least a half dozen, if not more, domains using google hosted email
[20:21] <thurstylark> jhutchins: thanks.
[20:21] <guntbert> hwilde: for ssh: just use key based login everywhere - I have no passwords in my config
[20:21] <jhutchins> thurstylark: There are ways to clone the package list, but what are you upgrading _from_?
[20:21] <Fernest> Guys, you saved me a lot of work  I guess. Thanks!
[20:22] <jhutchins> Fernest: Most domain registrars will handle your mail for a fee as well.
[20:22] <thurstylark> jhutchins: from 13.10
[20:22] <nuke_> i installed the japanese locale, now most menus and konsole come in japanese, how to i get it back to english?
[20:22] <jhutchins> Ah - I believe it's EOL and therefor the servers have moved.
[20:22] <jhutchins> !eol
[20:23] <thurstylark> jhutchins: Yeah, I get that. My idea was to get a complete package list, upgrade, and compare installed packages to get what I have installed.
[20:23] <jhutchins> !clone
[20:23] <thurstylark> !automate
[20:24] <hecatae> guntbert thankyou, testing 12.04.5
[20:24] <thurstylark> jhutchins: so, what does that do, exactly?
[20:25] <thurstylark> apt-clone, that is...
[20:27] <thurstylark> My main thing is to exclude system packages or depends so that I don't get superflous packages.
[20:27] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Basically generate a list of installed packages that you can then duplicate during an install.
[20:28] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Which is why it's difficult to do this over different releases.
[20:28] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Things change, like devfs vs. udev and init/upstart/systemd.
[20:29] <thurstylark> jhutchins: It seems like I may be better off doing a clean install...
[20:29] <thurstylark> then re-nesting...
[20:29] <jhutchins> thurstylark: On the other hand, you could manually list the packages you know you use, and just make sure they're installed (or something that does the same thing is).
[20:29] <jhutchins> thurstylark: If you don't know a package is installed, why do you care?
[20:31] <artie|home> Is it possible to use dm-crypt in the way, that the encrypted fs to be mounted has a volume of 100x, while the files, that represent the fs are split into smaller portions, of e.g. 1x?
[20:32] <thurstylark> jhutchins: You make a good point.
[20:33] <thurstylark> jhutchins: it also makes the case for a test machine for software that I may not want, but want to test :P
[20:33] <pinumbernumber> I want to backup a partition containing a different Linux distro and replace it with Ubuntu. 2 questions: 1) is `dd if=/dev/sdc of=/some/file bs=4M` a reliable backup method (IE, could I revert simply by reversing if and of), and is it easy to mount such a dd's file so I can cherry pick some files from it?
[20:33] <thurstylark> I'm sure I have a lot of crap that I tried to test, and then never used...
[20:34] <pinumbernumber> (not Ubuntu specific, actually, but I'm not sure where there's an active generic linux one)
[20:34] <pinumbernumber> ("one" = IRC channel)
[20:35] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: I would be super careful with dd. There is a way to dd to an iso, but I don't know it off the top of my head.
[20:36] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You can actually mount the image in Windows.
[20:36] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: also, yes, there are ways to mount a disk image, but I'd have to google it myself.
[20:36] <jhutchins> thurstylark: dd doesn't create an iso, although it can copy one.
[20:36] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, it'd be Linux I'd be mounting it in.
[20:37] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Yeah, I mean the answer is so "yes" you can even do it in windows.
[20:37] <thurstylark> jhutchins: Can it read from one as a source? I seem to remember doing that in the past...
[20:37] <pinumbernumber> thurstylark, yes I wrote the Ubuntu liveusb I'm using that way
[20:37] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: heck, OS X can mount iso, also..
[20:38] <thurstylark> jhutchins: but, just not as a dest..."
[20:38] <thurstylark> *?
[20:38] <jhutchins>  If you do it by partition you just mount -t ext? <imagefile> <mountpoint> -0 loop
[20:38] <jhutchins> er -o
[20:39] <pinumbernumber> Okay revised question: I want to backup my Mint partition so I can scrap it and install Ubuntu instead. I want the backup to be reliable, and to be able to mount it easily so I can pick certain files off it
[20:39] <pinumbernumber> I would use Clonezilla but it looks like mounting its images is a bit of a pain
[20:39] <Fohlen> hey. Just wondering, would: apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-35* linux-image-3.13.0-35* --fix-missing be the propper way to update my kernel to the newest version ubuntu 14.04?
[20:39] <Fohlen> *eh
[20:39] <Fohlen> 14.10
[20:39] <jhutchins> thinkabout_: If you do the whole disk losetup can help you mount the partitions.
[20:39] <Fohlen> apt-cache show's it's the newest available
[20:39] <jhutchins> thurstylark: ^
[20:39] <xangua> pinumbernumber: next time you can try make a /home partition
[20:40] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: just backup the file system to a directory
[20:40] <OerHeks> Fohlen, join #ubuntu+1 for utopic support
[20:40] <thurstylark> Fohlen: have you tried 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[20:40] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: or tar it up
[20:40] <ikonia> there is no need for an "image" option
[20:40] <Fohlen> thurstylark: doesn't work out :/
[20:40] <thurstylark> Fohlen: Is there a specific error?
[20:40] <pinumbernumber> I have plenty of scratch space, but it's all NTFS. Anyway, I want to be able to revert just by writing the partition straight back (and fixing GRUB) rather than reinstalling
[20:41] <Fohlen> thurstylark: yes with my kernel: libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1619 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[20:41] <Fohlen> that's why I want to either reinstall or upgrade it
[20:41] <Fohlen> how would I do that?
[20:41] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: then just backup the file system as I said
[20:41] <Fohlen> ubuntu page says sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) but it fails.
[20:42] <OerHeks> Fohlen, 14.10 is on 3.16.0-14.20
[20:42] <pinumbernumber> ikonia, I don't think copying from an ext4 filesystem to an ntfs one will keep all the permissions and such when I copy back
[20:42] <thurstylark> Fohlen: Oof. Just left my depth. sorry. Others may know here, though.
[20:42] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: no it won't
[20:42] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: so tar it up
[20:42] <Fohlen> OerHeks: mine is on 3.10 somehow.
[20:42] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Yes, that should work.
[20:42] <Fohlen> pre-stoneage
[20:43] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You could also use something like tar to preserve permissions and ownership.
[20:43] <Fohlen> OerHeks: how would I fix that? Install linux-generic image and headers?
[20:43] <ODB> Alright lads
[20:43] <ODB> Random question
[20:43] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You will want to do this from something other than the system you're backing up.  Something like clonezilla live is an easy solution.
[20:43] <ODB> What is the server address of EFNet?
[20:43] <ikonia> ODB: nothing to do with this channel
[20:43] <ikonia> ODB: read their website
[20:44] <ODB> Sorry
[20:44] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, I'm currently on an Ubuntu liveusb so I'd prefer to see to it now
[20:44] <OerHeks> Fohlen, i don't know if that kernel is available, anyway  join #ubuntu+1 for utopic support
[20:44] <pinumbernumber> Also, I'm running out of scratch USB sticks :P
[20:45] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Don't they sell 'em by the case these days?
[20:45] <Fohlen> OerHeks: mkay I'm wrong, server is 14.04, sorry. that explains. My kernel seems somewhat broken, what would be the recommended way to reinstall/upgrade ?
[20:45] <AcidRain|2> http://pastebin.com/Ry7fnskY   full details in post. can anyone plz help?
[20:45] <ODB> "scratch USB sticks" lol
[20:45] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: what's the issue
[20:45] <ODB> You must have a hell of a time erasing them when the FBI or NSA come knocking on your door.
[20:45] <pinumbernumber> ODB, as in unneeded ones I can write ISOs to
[20:45] <ikonia> ODB: drop it
[20:46] <jhutchins> AcidRain|2: Summarize so we'll know whether we should bother.
[20:46] <pinumbernumber> so if I just dd to a file I can't expect to easily write it back?
[20:46] <AcidRain|2> hang on, let me look at the log files
[20:46] <jhutchins> AcidRain|2: Ie if it's about crypt or lvm I'm not the guy who should look.
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> Sep 22 15:46:22 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 sshd[7446]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/media/AcidShower/FTP/jkdf2/"
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> like i said, all dirs and files are owned by root:root
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> as per doc of ssh
[20:47] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: right - so unless you're logging in as root that will be a problem
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> ikonia: false. the user ftpuser has the EXACT same setup. works perfect
[20:48] <thurstylark> what does the -X flag do in rsync? I'm not seeing it in it's manpage...
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: not false
[20:48] <chull> ←- chalcedony hi i'm trying to help my husband with his ubuntu 14.04 upgrade. He's getting an “internal error” on boot up. /usr/lib/screensaver/pacman caused a segfault.
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> ftpuser is not part of the root group
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: you will only have read acces to those directories
[20:48] <chull> ubuntu 14.04 “pacman crashed with sigsev in_lib_start_main
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> ikonia: if i can just get read access that would be great
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: what's the actual problem ?
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> it would be a start to solve my issue
[20:48] <dstokes> hey guys, getting 404's from the default repositories (12.04). what's the std way to fix this?
[20:49] <AcidRain|2> my problem is i currently cannot even get read access due to Sep 22 15:46:22 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 sshd[7446]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/media/AcidShower/FTP/jkdf2/"
[20:49] <ikonia> dstokes: what is the URL of the repo you are using
[20:49] <dstokes> us.archive.ubuntu.com
[20:49] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: ooh hang on
[20:49] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: aren't you the one with all the loopback/bind mount file ysstems
[20:49] <cacaocaca> hi anyone can help me ?
[20:49] <AcidRain|2> lol. yes.
[20:49] <ikonia> dstokes: that repo is up
[20:49] <jhutchins> cacaocaca: Not unless we know what with.
[20:50] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: yeah, I'm not interested in this, I've advised you to stop your bad file system / bind mount layout, it creates problems
[20:50] <dstokes> ikonia: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]

[20:50] <AcidRain|2> :(
[20:50] <dstokes> 12.04
[20:50] <AcidRain|2> thx anyways
[20:50] <cacaocaca> i can t close all my page for go in my desktop
[20:50] <dstokes> there's about 6 resources returning 404s

[20:51] <ObrienDave> !precise
[20:51] <Fohlen> OerHeks: http://pastebin.com/qcQNJpyW does that seem quiet unusal to you too?
[20:51] <ikonia> dstokes: that file doesn't exist
[20:51] <dstokes> right. not sure why it's being queried
[20:51] <Fohlen> OerHeks: happens when I run: apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic --fix-missing
[20:51] <jhutchins> dstokes: Well, I can confirm it's 404
[20:52] <ObrienDave> yes 404
[20:52] <dstokes> how can i debug this? /etc/sources looks normal
[20:53] <jhutchins> dstokes: Interesting.  Packages doesn't exist in other releases, it's either .bz2 or .gz
[20:53] <ObrienDave> could be just a mirror error
[20:54] <jhutchins> dstokes: Pastebin the sources.list.
[20:55] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> Can anyone help with a bcmwl wireless setup?
[20:55] <jhutchins> ObrienDave: I looked at a couple of other releases, it's all .gz or .bz2

[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> The Problem: When I boot Ubuntu, I attempt to activate the Broadcom Driver by going to: System Settings > Additonal Drivers
[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> Here, i attempt to enable the Broadcom Driver (by clicking the enable option right above the Do Not Use Option). I then click Apply Changes (not sure about the exact text used here). However, after entering my password, the option immediately reverts back to the Do Not Use Option. This happens every time I try to enable it.

[21:00] <ODB> Nvidia unified memory is what it says on the tin.
[21:00] <ODB> As opposed to virtual memory
[21:01] <jhutchins> dstokes: Sorry, not coming up with anything.  It could be a transient mirror problem.

[21:02] <ODB>  Then type in "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[21:02] <jhutchins> Fleck: There may be a transient problem with the mirrors right now.
[21:02] <Venehacker> :-(
[21:02] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, ikonia, I'll go with the tar-it-all-up filesystem backup after all. should probably do that as regular practice actually. Thanks
[21:02] <Orukusaki> just installed ubuntu 14.04 and it has aircrack-ng in repositroy
[21:02] <Fleck> ODB: up to date!
[21:03] <William_Gates> Orukusaki: arent you bad
[21:03] <ODB> Well I'm stumped Fleck
[21:03] <Fleck> jhutchins: so I need to swap/change server?
[21:03] <ODB>  You should ask ubottu
[21:03] <ODB> ubottu being all intelligent and all
[21:03] <jhutchins> Fleck: Just give it some time, like maybe tomorrow.
[21:03] <Orukusaki> yeaaaah
[21:03] <Fleck> jhutchins: ok, I can do that!
[21:04] <ODB> ubottu nobody thinks you're intelligent
[21:04] <ODB> You may as well return from the depths of hell you were once cast
[21:04] <ObrienDave> ODB, lay off the bot abuse, please
[21:05] <ODB>  How does a bot feel "abuse", precisely?
[21:05] <grobe0ba> ODB: regardless of the fact that a bot cannot feel, it is still very OT, and trollish
[21:05] <ikonia> ODB: it's a tool to help the channel, can you stop playing with it please.
[21:05] <grobe0ba> please cease and desist
[21:05] <ikonia> is that clearer ?
[21:05] <ODB> How about programming it to be useful and not making smart arse remarks
[21:05] <ODB>  Fine fine
[21:05] <ODB> I shall stop
[21:05] <ultrixx> how about you not making smart ass remarks?
[21:06] <ikonia> ok, I think we've got it sorted now
[21:06] <ikonia> lets move on please.
[21:06] <asher1> Hello i need please Help where i can find plugin i see in this link is have plugin
[21:06] <asher1> http://fluffy.jussi01.com/devel/wiki/Plugins
[21:06] <asher1> !help plugin
[21:06] <Martiini> ikonia help!
[21:06] <ikonia> Martiini: just ask the channel for the help you need
[21:07] <asher1> someone can help me
[21:07] <asher1> ?
[21:07] <Martiini> I was testing if ikonia is a bot
[21:07] <ikonia> asher1: what do you want ?
[21:07] <ObrienDave> Martiini, you DON'T want to test that theory
[21:07] <labsin> Anyone that knows something about partition tables?
[21:08] <ObrienDave> labsin, ask, please
[21:08] <labsin> I have dd something to sda
[21:08] <asher1> i want plugins for SupyBot
[21:08] <asher1> like in here
[21:08] <labsin> and The partion table is messed up
[21:08] <asher1> where i can find this?
[21:08] <William_Gates> labsin: i guess you dd'ed an iso
[21:08] <ikonia> asher1: it lists the names of the plugins in that wiki page
[21:08] <labsin> a small one yes
[21:08] <William_Gates> and you get like partition 1 8 9
[21:08] <labsin> yes
[21:08] <ikonia> asher1: so you get them from the supybot plugin site
[21:08] <William_Gates> all i can say is
[21:09] <William_Gates> its normal
[21:09] <labsin> William_Gates, I know
[21:09] <labsin> But I'm still running on this pc
[21:09] <asher1> i see plugins but i want like in this bot
[21:09] <labsin> And if you power it down, it wont start again.
[21:09] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> I am having trouble with bcm4360
[21:09] <ikonia> asher1: so load the plugins into a bot
[21:10] <asher1> where?
[21:10] <asher1> this from ubuntu
[21:10] <Martiini> anyone knows any good US numbers to call?
[21:10] <labsin> William_Gates, Do you know any way to 'restore' the previous partion info
[21:10] <asher1> http://fluffy.jussi01.com/devel/wiki/Plugins
[21:10] <OerHeks> asher1, a little reading brings you to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bots/ubuntu-bots/
[21:10] <ikonia> asher1: ubottu is just a supybot loading the plugins listed on that page
[21:10] <jhutchins> labsin: What did you dd?
[21:10] <William_Gates> labsin: do you want the whole thing deleted?
[21:10] <ikonia> Martiini: nothing to do with this channel - so please keep it out
[21:11] <jhutchins> labsin: Not really any way to recover the partition table.  That's probably not all that got overwritten either.
[21:11] <OerHeks> asher1, not sure those plugins are public.
[21:11] <Martiini> labsin, testdisk & fdisk , try them
[21:11] <asher1> yes
[21:11] <asher1> i see now command
[21:11] <asher1> s
[21:12] <asher1> like this
[21:12] <asher1> supybot.plugins.Bantracker.enabled
[21:12] <thurstylark> Does anyone know of a good reference that details the different filesystems and their abilities for linux?
[21:12] <Martiini> labsin, did testdisk help with partition table? .. -- ??
[21:12] <labsin> jhutchins, Yes I know. But the first partition can be missed
[21:12] <asher1> this from link
[21:12] <labsin> Martiini, I'm installing it
[21:12] <Martiini> jeesh
[21:12] <Martiini> poor peaople
[21:14] <labsin> Martiini, Yes, it finds them
[21:14] <Slart> thurstylark: you've looked at the wikipedia page about file systems? it's not really clear or even well presented.. but there is a lot of information
[21:15] <Martiini> I've skyped some random police numbers in US and told them to die .. but that becomes boring after a while
[21:15] <bazhang> !ot | Martiini
[21:15] <Martiini> I'd rather call something interesting in US but can't think of anything interesting
[21:15] <srikanth> hi
[21:15] <bazhang> Martiini, not welcome here
[21:16] <Martiini> same words to you, bazhang
[21:16] <Guest19413> hi i am new to this can anyone say whatsgoing on
[21:16] <bazhang> Martiini, take this chit chat elsewhere
[21:16] <Guest19413> here
[21:16] <ObrienDave> and that takes care of that LOL

[21:18] <thurstylark> OerHeks: thanks
[21:20] <malkauns_> ooooo k
[21:20] <thurstylark> What kind of support does HFS+ have in Ubuntu
[21:20] <Slart> thurstylark: ah.. I see
[21:20] <OerHeks> thurstylark, read only is safe, AFAIK
[21:21] <Fleck> jhutchins: maybe you have some other ideas I can try at the moment?
[21:21] <smart_developer1> It seems that for chmod for a file/directory, 755 and 644 seem to be pretty common.
[21:21] <OerHeks> thurstylark, for writing you need to disable journaling ( and you don't want that
[21:21] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus
[21:21] <thurstylark> Slart: that sounds loaded ;)
[21:22] <ikonia> there is no such think as "common"
[21:22] <ikonia> ot's what's needed
[21:22] <thurstylark> OerHeks: mmkay. Thanks.
[21:23] <Slart> thurstylark: nah, no worries =)
[21:23] <smart_developer1> It seems that for chmod for a file/directory, 755 and 644 seem to be pretty common -- in which types of cases do you generally use one, or the other ?
[21:23] <ikonia> smart_developer1: there is no such thing as "common" as I just said
[21:24] <thurstylark> Slart: The story is that I am moving my mobile machine from a MBP to ubuntu, and my desk machine is still Mavericks. I would prefer HFS+ for my thumb drive if possible, but if FAT is the way to go, then, whatever :P
[21:25] <Slart> thurstylark: I usually just go with ext4 or ntfs if I really have to use it in some kind of microsoft-land =)
[21:27] <thurstylark> Yeah. The support for NTFS on a Mac is good enough for the meantime, but if I need to change partitions on a mac, I only have FAT32, exFAT, or HFS+ availible to choose from.
[21:27] <bsm117532> Hi folks, I'm trying to make a boot usb with a casper-rw partition.  But nothing I do seems to cause it to use the casper-rw partition as a persistent data store.
[21:27] <thurstylark> Also, Mac is super picky about wanting HFS+ for some stuff
[21:28] <skinux> What package has tool for configure scripts?
[21:29] <ikonia> skinux: what do you want to do
[21:29] <skinux> I want to compile from source
[21:29] <ikonia> then it depends on the tests the configure script is running
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: what is it you want to build ?
[21:30] <skinux> autogen can't work because there is no configure
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: it's not a black and white answer
[21:30] <skinux> I want to compile an MP3 tag editor
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: is it not in the ubuntu repos
[21:31] <skinux> Apparently it is.
[21:31] <ikonia> ok, use that then
[21:32] <skinux> Where is configure if I ever write my own software? I'd need to compile it..
[21:32] <ikonia> skinux: if you write your own software you'll know what you need as you'll have written it

[21:34] <wt79> can anyone help with a small mythbuntu problem?? the mythtv channel isnt responding
[21:36] <thurstylark> wt79: have you tried #ubuntu-mythtv
[21:36] <thurstylark> ?
[21:36] <wt79> yeah im in there now
[21:37] <thurstylark> Mmkay. Just checking. Someone might know, but this chan is more desktop-focused. :)
[21:37] <wt79> i figured that. thanks anyway
[21:37] <thurstylark> From what I gather, the mythtv channel is probably a bit slower ;P
[21:38] <wt79> lol yeah 33 people vs the 1674 current here
[21:38] <Krixvar> Hey all :)
[21:39] <Krixvar> Still having issues with my nvidia drivers, not sure if anyone was around yesterday when I was talking about it - at this point I think its that the kernel module isn't building and/or loading correctly.. any ideas?
[21:39] <Psil0Cybin> Krixvar: What kind of issues are you having? what did you do prior to having those issues? Did you install drivers from the Nvidia website?
[21:40] <frezix> http://kpaste.net/cbdffa385 - does this mean that the GPG key has been compromised?
[21:40] <Krixvar> Psil0Cybin: They seem to have broken after an apt upgrade that I didn't notice affected graphics drivers... gotta run and make a phone call real quick, mind if I give you a forums link where I described it in pretty good detail?
[21:41] <Psil0Cybin> Krixvar: yea let me try a go at it, honestly I am not the guy when it comes to drivers...but i did fiddle with nvidia drivers and got it working before but not the results i really wnated so..
[21:42] <Krixvar> Psil0Cybin: Hey, if you've gotten it working you might have found something I'm missing.. here ya go, I'll be back soon hopefully, thanks! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2245196
[21:44] <asher1> :S
[21:44] <asher1> please how i can get plugins like ubottu?
[21:45] <OerHeks> asher1, maybe the guys in #ubuntu-bots can help you
[21:45] <k1l_> !bot
[21:45] <k1l_> asher1: ^
[21:46] <k1l_> but please dont bring own bots into this channel :)

[21:49] <Fleck> 12.04 LTS, says there is no new release, ideas?
[21:50] <eimf333> Is it ok if I ask a non ubuntu related question here?
[21:50] <k1l_> Fleck: "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first to make sure you are up-to-date packagewise
[21:50] <k1l_> eimf333: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat
[21:50] <Fleck> k1l_: done, I am up to date!
[21:50] <k1l_> Fleck: does "sudo do-release-upgrade" work?
[21:51] <Fleck> no, says there is no new release
[21:51] <eimf333> well its not so much chitchat, as I have a question that I can't find a chat with any activity to answer
[21:51] <k1l_> Fleck: what mirror are you on?
[21:51] <eeee> Fleck: try sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[21:51] <eimf333> thats cool though ill hit ot
[21:51] <eimf333> thanks
[21:51] <EOBeav> k1l_: Yes, except when it doesn't.
[21:51] <Fleck> k1l_: tried few, also Main server, did not work!
[21:52] <Fleck> eeee: already installed/newest verison
[21:52] <k1l_> Fleck: please install "pastebinit" and run "lsb_release -a | pastebinit" and show the link in here

[21:57] <kingplusplus> d
[21:57] <litropy> Is there no way to unmount an encrypted home folder that was mounted from an external drive other than logging out?
[21:57] <k1l_> Fleck: where is the release-prompt directing at?
[21:58] <Fleck> k1l_: sorry?
[21:58] <k1l_> Fleck: yes, we need to invistigate where the problem is. so please show the info so people in here can see if it works with the same setting for them
[21:59] <Fleck> k1l_: what do you mean? I didn't understand the first question!
[21:59] <Fleck> what/where is that release-prompt
[22:00] <k1l_> Fleck: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[22:00] <bradfasterty> Fleck:

[22:09] <daftykins> Fleck: thanks :)
[22:11] <chaotix> hey guys..  i was trying to set a static ip on my ubuntu laptop, and i have accidentally turned off my eth0, and i am not sure how to get it back
[22:12] <chaotix> i can pastebin everything i did, and what my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like if that will help
[22:12] <chaotix> please help, thanks in advance
[22:13] <maddawg2> chaotix you need auto eth0 up at the start of your config
[22:13] <maddawg2> do you have that? chaotix
[22:14] <maddawg2> err iface auto eth0 up
[22:14] <maddawg2> or something llike that
[22:14] <chaotix> ok i will try iface auto eth0 up
[22:14] <chaotix> i did ifconfig eth0 up and that hadnt worked
[22:15] <Krixvar> a little more testing... the nvidia module appears to load fine (shows up in lsmod), but starting lightdm still isn't using it.. so I suppose its either the module is broken but can still load or my system is choosing not to use the driver for some reason
[22:16] <chaotix> oh you mean in my config file
[22:17] <maddawg2> auto eth0
[22:17] <maddawg2> iface eth0 inet static
[22:17] <maddawg2> thats what i meant
[22:17] <maddawg2> auto eth0
[22:17] <maddawg2> do that first
[22:17] <chaotix> i am not sure what messed it up, but in my network manager indicator menu, it says device not managed
[22:17] <maddawg2> yes
[22:17] <maddawg2> if you use the network config file it overrides the network manager
[22:17] <maddawg2> best to just uninstall it
[22:18] <maddawg2> the network manager is different
[22:18] <maddawg2> and uses it's own config file
[22:18] <maddawg2> i would remove it and just use the interface.config file to be honest
[22:18] <maddawg2> /etc/network/interfaces
[22:18] <chaotix> ok, so just sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces
[22:18] <chaotix> ?
[22:19] <maddawg2> ummm no
[22:19] <maddawg2> lol
[22:19] <chaotix> lol
[22:19] <maddawg2> that'd be bad
[22:19] <chaotix> glad i asked then
[22:19] <maddawg2> you want to uninstall the network manager
[22:19] <maddawg2> sudo apt-get purge network-manager
[22:19] <maddawg2> that will get rid of it
[22:20] <maddawg2> then config the interface file
[22:20] <chaotix> if i showed you the pastebin of everything i did, and what my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like, could you tell me what to undo that way?
[22:20] <maddawg2> yes but the issue is you still have network-manager installed
[22:20] <chaotix> ok i will purge network-manager
[22:20] <maddawg2> you need to remove the ubuntu one
[22:20] <chaotix> and here are the pastes
[22:20] <maddawg2> and then it will use your interface one
[22:20] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406505
[22:21] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406506
[22:21] <maddawg2> ok chaotix where are your configs tho?
[22:21] <maddawg2> that doesnt help me at all
[22:21] <mzaza> I have been trying to download a 1GB file for a couple of days. I have unstable connection, so I am looking for a download manager like on Windows for Ubuntu which integrates with Chrome or Firefox. I tried wget but it wont work well because it can't load cookies and the file is protected and I have to be logged on.
[22:22] <chaotix> mad
[22:22] <maddawg2> chaotix do you know how to see the config file?
[22:22] <chaotix> i do not
[22:22] <chaotix> unless you mean the /etc/network/interfaces one
[22:22] <maddawg2> sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:22] <chaotix> that is the second paste
[22:22] <maddawg2> yes
[22:22] <maddawg2> oh i dont see a second paste
[22:22] <maddawg2> oh wait
[22:23] <maddawg2> i do
[22:23] <maddawg2> client cut it off
[22:23] <chaotix> ok
[22:23] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406506
[22:23] <maddawg2> yea i can see what's up already
[22:23] <chaotix> oh awesome
[22:24] <maddawg2> you are missing auto eth0 before your iface eth0
[22:24] <maddawg2> look at auto lo
[22:24] <maddawg2> you need that same thing but auto eth0
[22:24] <chaotix> ok
[22:24] <maddawg2> put it above iface eth0 inet static
[22:24] <maddawg2> and then save it
[22:24] <maddawg2> then do "sudo service networking restart"
[22:25] <maddawg2> but also remove network-manager so it doesnt mess it up
[22:25] <maddawg2> you should only use one or the other
[22:25] <chaotix> and then reinstall it?
[22:25] <maddawg2> no
[22:25] <chaotix> ok
[22:25] <maddawg2> you dont need network-manager
[22:26] <maddawg2> it's a completely different thing
[22:26] <maddawg2> the /etc/network/nterfaces is ran by the linux OS
[22:26] <maddawg2> the network-manager uses a completely different config file
[22:26] <chaotix> how will i connect to networks in the future
[22:26] <maddawg2> and doesnt even tie into the built in one
[22:26] <maddawg2> what do you mean?
[22:27] <chaotix> i purged it, and now there is no network indicator in my panel
[22:27] <maddawg2> if you're connected to a dhcp server you'll change the config
[22:27] <maddawg2> yes that is correct
[22:27] <maddawg2> the network-manager is a gui
[22:27] <maddawg2> it's stupid
[22:27] <maddawg2> you can still get DHCP addresses
[22:27] <chaotix> i was just setting the static ip so that i could put my router into client bridge mode
[22:28] <maddawg2> ok then once you're done with that just delete the eth0 settings and change inet static to inet dhcp
[22:28] <chaotix> ok so how do i connect now
[22:28] <maddawg2> what do you mean how do you connect?
[22:28] <maddawg2> i'm confused
[22:29] <maddawg2> do you mean how do you make it dhcp again to get an IP automatically?
[22:29] <chaotix> i mean, how do i connect and disconnect to the internet now that i no longer have the network manager
[22:29] <maddawg2> ummm you connect using your computer
[22:29] <maddawg2> lol
[22:29] <chaotix> i wasnt trying to learn some new way of using my computer just now, i just wanted to fix that problem
[22:29] <maddawg2> how do you connect
[22:30] <maddawg2> it's not a new way
[22:30] <maddawg2> how did you connect before?
[22:30] <maddawg2> you connect wireless or wired?
[22:30] <chaotix> normally i would go to the network manager indicator on the panel, and select the network i want to connect to
[22:30] <maddawg2> wifi?
[22:30] <chaotix> sometimes
[22:31] <maddawg2> ok you just need a wifi tool that relies on that interfaces
[22:31] <chaotix> in this particular case, i was connected using usb tethering on my cell phone, but after that sudo purge network-manager i am not even connected to the internet
[22:31] <chaotix> lol
[22:31] <maddawg2> sudo apt-get install wicd
[22:31] <chaotix> but i cant because i have no connection now
[22:31] <maddawg2> oh
[22:31] <maddawg2> i see
[22:31] <chaotix> lol
[22:31] <maddawg2> you never said you were usb tethering
[22:31] <maddawg2> probably something you should have mentoned
[22:32] <chaotix> ok well i can prolly get onto a wifi networ
[22:32] <maddawg2> i dont really know how to do that part since i never use it
[22:32] <chaotix> temporarily
[22:32] <maddawg2> yes
[22:32] <maddawg2> you'll need to do that
[22:32] <maddawg2> and you can use another network-manager
[22:32] <chaotix> how can i connect to a wifi network real quick
[22:32] <maddawg2> or the same one
[22:33] <maddawg2> wifi connect MyNetworkNameA
[22:33] <maddawg2> but that's a different interface from eth0
[22:33] <chaotix> "wifi: command not found"
[22:34] <maddawg2> sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[22:34] <maddawg2> try that
[22:34] <maddawg2> does anything show up
[22:35] <maddawg2> http://blog.tplus1.com/blog/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/
[22:35] <maddawg2> once you are connected you can use another network-manager
[22:35] <daftykins> wpa-supplicant may end up making you tear your hair out
[22:35] <chaotix> i hear you, but now i cant seem to connect
[22:35] <chaotix> lol
[22:36] <maddawg2> well you probably should have mentioned all this
[22:36] <chaotix> interface doesnt support scanning
[22:36] <maddawg2> did you see that link?
[22:36] <chaotix> i am not trying to point fingers
[22:36] <chaotix> ok thanks
[22:37] <maddawg2> http://blog.tplus1.com/blog/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/
[22:37] <chaotix> i am reading it now
[22:37] <maddawg2> i never have this problem cuz my ubuntu machine is hardwired with static
[22:37] <maddawg2> and my laptop i use wicd
[22:37] <maddawg2> which connects to wifi
[22:37] <maddawg2> but uses settings in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:45] <chaotix> ok so for me, the essid i need to connect to is called SDG41, my interface is wlan0, and the key is 1f901cbe2c
[22:45] <chaotix> and the key is wep
[22:45] <chaotix> that tutorial is a lil murky for keys
[22:45] <the_last> Hi guys I'm having a weird problem with SSH, when I change the port in the config and do /etc/init.d/restart it doesn't work, and I don't think it's actually restarting the service... Any suggestions?
[22:46] <daftykins> the_last: that's not how services are handled anymore. "sudo service sshd restart"
[22:47] <the_last> daftykins: sshd: unrecognized service
[22:47] <daftykins> maybe ssh
[22:47] <the_last> ah
[22:47] <the_last> yep
[22:47] <daftykins> and confirm with 'netstat -tuln' ?
[22:47] <the_last> daftykins: thanks :)
[22:47] <daftykins> no problemo
[22:47] <Krixvar> daftykins: just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction yesterday with the nvidia drivers, turns out I had the bumblebee package installed from when I had been messing around with cuda and it was breaking things
[22:48] <daftykins> Krixvar: aaaah that setup issue, that makes sense why it never identified the nvidia module being there then - :D
[22:48] <maddawg2> the_last do you run /etc/init.d/restart
[22:48] <Seannie> i would like to turn about 30 photos into a time lapse, using FFMPEG, all photos have been renamed already to a numerical sequence starting img001, and ending img032.jpg I do not fully understand the syntax of the commandline for ffmpeg and I keep getting file not found errors and i don't quite understand why
[22:48] <maddawg2> cuz you're not telling it waht to restart
[22:48] <maddawg2> sshd restart
[22:48] <Krixvar> daftykins: the weirdest part is that it was there! 0.o when I was checking it with lsmod today it showed as being loaded, and if it wasn't it would be after I did modprobe
[22:48] <maddawg2> oh wait daftykins solved it
[22:48] <the_last> ^
[22:48] <the_last> :P
[22:48] <maddawg2> my fault
[22:48] <maddawg2> i was too eager to help
[22:49] <the_last> haha, thanks anyway
[22:49] <maddawg2> and it was ssh not sshd
[22:49] <maddawg2> but i made the same error he did
[22:49] <daftykins> Krixvar: i suspect bumblebee changes it somehow
[22:49] <Krixvar> daftykins: so then I figured something was taking precedence over it, and eventually found that it was bumblebee trying to switch it to integrated or something... except I'm on a desktop so that doesn't work :P
[22:49] <Krixvar> daftykins: yeah, its apparently for laptops with integrated and discrete graphics, lets you offload graphics intensive stuff to discrete then pushes it back through integrated
[22:50] <daftykins> Krixvar: yep i'm on such an nvidia optimus laptop right now! albeit not in Linux
[22:50] <chaotix> ok so i am doing ifconfig wlan0 essid "SGD41" key s:1f901cbe2c
[22:50] <chaotix> and getting the output:SDET failed on device wlan0
[22:50] <Dina> hello is there any one here who can help me with lighttpd
[22:50] <Krixvar> daftykins: ah cool, I'm definitely gonna have to fiddle with it sometime... but on a laptop not a desktop haha :) thanks again for the help, definitely wouldn't have been able to fix it with school and all without your pointers
[22:51] <Krixvar> daftykins: sorry about the pm by the way
[22:51] <chaotix> hopefully i have a copy of ubuntu laying around on a usb key
[22:52] <Seannie> my question doesn't have to just be about FFMPEG i believe it could be answered by someone who knows about commandline syntax in terminal
[22:52] <chaotix> for anyone wondering, if someone ever tells you to apt-get purge network manager because you dont need it, make sure you have all the facts
[22:52] <chaotix> nite everybody
[22:52] <Dina> ooo
[22:52] <Dina> do not leave until you help me to
[22:52] <daftykins> Krixvar: ;) no worries
[22:53] <daftykins> Dina: what's that? i should go to bed? oh ok
[22:53] <k1l_> !ask | Dina
[22:54] <Krixvar> Seannie: I'm not the one for super fancy syntax but if its basicish I may be able to help.. what's up?
[22:56] <Krixvar> Seannie: whoops missed your post above, never done that but let me see if I can find anything
[22:57] <Seannie> @krixvar ty
[22:59] <Krixvar> Seannie: here's a link that looks like what you're trying to do, skip past the first part if you've already renamed em: http://www.hackourlife.com/make-time-lapse-video-from-images-in-linux-ffmpeg/
[23:00] <Krixvar> Seannie: unfortunately I haven't done it myself so I can't do too much more other than try to help if you have specific errors from that
[23:02] <Seannie> well... it is ALMOST working but not quite
[23:02] <Krixvar> Seannie: cool, where's it breaking?
[23:03] <Seannie> i'm assuming i need to be in the working directory to run the commandline in term
[23:03] <Krixvar> Seannie: that's what it looks like yeah, then the image%3d.jpg thing is some sorta wildcard
[23:04] <Seannie> i have 32 photos named "september 2014 680.jpg" to "september 2014 718.jpg" and they are the only files in that folder
[23:04] <Seannie> the image%3d.jpg is tripping me up
[23:04] <Seannie> what nearly worked was using quotes
[23:05] <Seannie> but the resulting output file had no content, no duration
[23:05] <Krixvar> Seannie: general when you're referring to filenames with spaces you need a \ - so something like september\ 2014\ %3d.jpg
[23:06] <daftykins> or hit tab to auto complete
[23:06] <Krixvar> Seannie: let me see if I have any files sitting around I can test this one, but yeah autocomplete's much easier
[23:08] <Seannie> i am now looking at this site https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20video%20slideshow%20from%20images to see if the additional arguments are what i need to make this work
[23:09] <Krixvar> If the order doesn't matter you can try just using *.jpg
[23:11] <Krixvar> hmm the command's not working for me though.. and saying its a deprecated program so not sure haha
[23:11] <Seannie> i think because all the files in the folder are the same and for the purpose of the time lapse, i could use cat *.jpg to work instead couldn't i?
[23:13] <Krixvar> a lot of the examples I'm seeing seem to be doing just that
[23:14] <popey> Krixvar: i use mencoder to do this...
[23:14] <popey> Krixvar: http://popey.com/blog/2014/07/03/creating-time-lapse-videos-on-ubuntu/
[23:14] <FreewheelinFrank> Any Ubuntu drivers for a Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface?
[23:15] <Krixvar> popey: Oh no way, that's you? I was just looking at that :) Maybe you could help Seannie out more than I can haha I'm just googling things
[23:15] <Seannie> i was also consulting http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html and it shows how to use cat to pipe jpgs to mp4 but the command does not say anything about frame rate per image or how to set a loop parameter
[23:15] <popey> lolz
[23:16] <Krixvar> not sure Seannie, popey seems to be more of your guy for this one ;)
[23:16] <daftykins> pretty sure ffmpeg was dropped in ubuntu anyway 0o
[23:16] <daftykins> in whatever way that was
[23:16] <Krixvar> yeah it says that when I run it
[23:16] <popey> nah, it was switched for libav
[23:17] <Krixvar> I've gotta go for now, good luck Seannie sorry I couldn't be more help
[23:17] <popey> Seannie: I'm just off to bed, but the blog post above and the linked script on github should help
[23:17] <Seannie> mencoder is what you suggest?
[23:17] <popey> works for me
[23:17] <popey> Seannie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZXxNvuQCNE example result
[23:18] <Horxnyphkiyns> oh big boy, you have any Ubuntu drivers for a Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface?
[23:21] <Seannie> @popey ok so seems i've picked it up when i got ffmpeg its also commandline yeah?
[23:22] <daftykins> Seannie: pretty sure the web link he provided explains all required.
[23:22] <Wryness> I have tried to clean free space by overwriting it, with bleachbit, today... as it took like 1000 minutes to finish I stopped the program. Since that moment my file system is very slow (copying with only 1 MB/sec for example). Why can that be and what can I do?
[23:22] <Wryness> using Ubuntu 14.04
[23:25] <stevendale1> how do i install grub on a 3tb hd with a gpt partition table?
[23:26] <loa> hello. I have settings that my display will go black after 5 minutes (i think it is default one). But for some reason it goes black after 5 minutes, but after some time it goes active again. What it can be and how i can debug it?
[23:26] <Seannie> I'm sorry Daftykins, browser took time to load, and yes, its a nice time lapse Popey
[23:27] <squinty> Wryness:   personally I would probably run a file system check first.    sudo touch /forcefsck     type that in a terminal and reboot.
[23:28] <jhutchins> or shutdown -r now
[23:28] <jhutchins> or shutdown -rD now
[23:29] <jhutchins> or shutdown -rD now
[23:29] <jhutchins> or shutdown -Fr now
[23:29] <jhutchins> Stupid fingers!
[23:29] <daftykins> :P bit spammy
[23:29] <stevendale1> jhutchins: sudo killall --user root should instantly reboot your computer, but sometimes it does other things
[23:29] <Wryness> sudo touch/forcefsck -> command not found
[23:30] <squinty> space between touch and /
[23:30] <Wryness> that gives me no output
[23:30] <squinty> or try what jhutchins mentioned
[23:30] <eeee> Wryness: after you restart it'll fsck
[23:30] <squinty> not supposed too.
[23:31] <Wryness> ah ok
[23:31] <eeee> ( using touch /forcefsck )
[23:31] <Wryness> brb
[23:32] <cmdr-keen> Hello all.  I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty" 64 bit and need to know how to force ubuntu to use a proprietary driver of my choice.  The issue is that when I use the "Additional Drivers" feature, the driver that it selects changes every time I do an update.  Thanks for any help you can offer.
[23:33] <eeee> cmdr-keen: if nobody knows a better way, look into apt_preferences ( man apt_preferences )
[23:33] <stevendale1> how big is the server that handles #ubuntu?
[23:34] <eeee> stevendale1: that doesn't make sense, #ubuntu is on freenode
[23:34] <stevendale1> eeee: there is 1626 users in this channel
[23:35] <daftykins> stevendale1: that's off topic, feel free to discuss this IRC network in #freenode
[23:35] <eeee> stevendale1: yeah, and around 1500 in ##linux
[23:35] <Seannie> program i want you to do this and this and this with this parameter and put it into this container
[23:35] <daftykins> eeee: hi sir
[23:35] <eeee> daftykins: hi daftykins
[23:35] <daftykins> :)
[23:35] <eeee> :)
[23:35] <Freedomx21> Hola
[23:36] <Freedomx21> Alguien de aqui habla en español?
[23:36] <eeee> !es | Freedomx21
[23:37] <loa> !ru | loa
[23:37] <Wryness> so i did touch /forcefsck and rebooted, the filesystem was checked, no errors. Its still as slow as before
[23:37] <cmdr-keen> I'll take a look at apt_preferences.  Thanks!
[23:39] <Wryness> maybe I should add that the slow copy problem affects not the home folder or ubuntu partition, but a second one.
[23:39] <cmdr-keen> Thanks eeee.
[23:39] <Neldogz> is it normal for an ext4 partition that i created in Ubuntu 14.04 not to auto mount on start up?
[23:39] <eeee> cmdr-keen: no problem :)
[23:40] <k1l_> Neldogz: did you put that into fstab?
[23:42] <pyrg> `\
[23:43] <Wryness> I did an fdisk -l and it only shows me one partition instead of seven, and says that that one partition "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary."
[23:44] <eeee> Wryness: try sudo parted -l
[23:44] <Wryness> eeee: that shows me all partitions as normal
[23:45] <Wryness> although it says: Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
[23:45] <Wryness> maybe its a problem that the logical sector size is not the same as the physical one obviously?
[23:45] <reisio> Wryness: maybe what is?
[23:47] <Wryness> ?
[23:47] <reisio> Wryness: maybe what's a problem?
 maybe its a problem that the logical sector size is not the same as the physical one obviously?
[23:48] <reisio> things aren't problems unless they are
[23:48] <eeee> Wryness: reisio wants to know what the problem is
[23:48] <Wryness> Can the discrepancy of sector size cause slow read/write processes on the disk?
[23:49] <Wryness> as I said before, copy/write/read processes are very slow, just about 1MB/sec
[23:49] <reisio> Wryness: over what, sata?
[23:49] <Wryness> yes
[23:50] <reisio> slower than they used to be?
[23:50] <Wryness> I didnt change anything in terms of partitions, just ran Bleachbit over my system
[23:50] <Wryness> yes, much slower
[23:50] <reisio> ew
[23:50] <reisio> you let something do random things to your system :/
[23:50] <reisio> what's an example of something that's slower?
[23:51] <reisio> did bleachbit make a log of what it did?
[23:51] <Wryness> copying a directory from /home/username to /media/datapartition
[23:51] <Wryness> I have been using bleachbit for ages, just not on ubuntu yet
[23:51] <reisio> /media/ is over sata?
[23:51] <k1l_> is this a usb hdd?
[23:51] <Wryness> never had any problems doing a complete cleanup of my system with it
[23:51] <Wryness> its all on one sata disk
[23:51] <k1l_> and is this ext4 partition? or ntfs?
[23:51] <Wryness> no, not usb
[23:51] <reisio> eh, that doesn't mean you know what it's done
[23:51] <Wryness> from ext4 to ntfs
[23:52] <reisio> but it used to be faster... from ext4 to ntfs?
[23:52] <Wryness> yupp
[23:52] <reisio> is /media/ automounted, or do you have params for it in fstab?
[23:52] <k1l_> well. ntfs works, but its not really fast
[23:52] <reisio> ntfs also fragments more
[23:53] <squinty> Wryness:  is that ntfs an active windows setup.  if yes, did you shut down windows cleanly the last time you ran it?  if no, then chkdsk that partition
[23:53] <Wryness> How can I check if I have parameters for it in fstab?
[23:53] <Wryness> but it has never been this slow
[23:53] <reisio> you'd probably already know, but just cat /etc/fstab
[23:53] <Wryness> squinty: no, its not a Windows partition
[23:54] <Wryness> no, i didnt know that, thx
[23:54] <reisio> no I mean
[23:54] <reisio> you'd probably already know if it was in there
[23:54] <reisio> :)
[23:54] <reisio> but you can cat it regardless
[23:54] <Wryness> /dev/sda5 /media/datapartiton ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[23:55] <Wryness> thats the info in fstab about my datapartition
[23:56] <reisio> mmm, well
[23:56] <reisio> may as well run a chkdsk like squinty said
[23:57] <reisio> 'ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY' might inform you of some things, but I doubt it'll do as much as chkdsk
[23:57] <reisio> which brings us to:
[23:58] <Wryness> ok, will do that, but just to be sure: does that take more than an hour? cause then I would do it tomorrow as I dont have much time left. The partition size is about 150 gb
[23:58] <reisio> if this isn't a drive you can separate from your Unix system, you may as well not use NTFS
[23:58] <reisio> I forget if it automatically tries to fix things or just spits out errors, #windows would know
[23:58] <reisio> it can take a long time to fix things, though, if it fixes them
[23:58] <reisio> the ntfsresize thing is probably fast, but less useful
[23:59] <reisio> bbl
[23:59] <Neldogz> k1l_, do you have to eventhough it was created using Ubuntu?
[23:59] <Wryness> oh chkdsk is on windows?
