| daftykins | lakitu: are you familiar and comfortable with dropping to a TTY and restarting X? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Seonfr | so, separate /boot or separate /boot/grub | 00:00 |
| Basketball | OerHeks, under seetings and network the mac address is greyed out | 00:00 |
| lakitu | should i try another log now that i have the tv for sure on? | 00:00 |
| lakitu | daftykins: maybe have done it noce, but no comfortable, no | 00:00 |
| lakitu | once* | 00:00 |
| k1l_ | Seonfr: why seperate /boot at all? | 00:00 |
| lakitu | not comfortable* | 00:00 |
| lakitu | sorry | 00:00 |
| daftykins | lakitu: should be ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to TTY1, log in, run "sudo service lightdm restart" <-- i would do this after unplugging the HDMI from the TV end whilst it's running | 00:01 |
| daftykins | lakitu: sorry, unplugging and plugging back in | 00:01 |
| lakitu | ok | 00:01 |
| Seonfr | k1l_, if grub files are on one partition and i decide i want to remove/reinstall that operating system, or to move the partition, grub would break | 00:01 |
| lakitu | what's the how do i login? | 00:01 |
| lakitu | err | 00:01 |
| lakitu | how do i login? | 00:01 |
| squinty | ctrl alt f7 | 00:02 |
| daftykins | lakitu: you'll see a username prompt, you type your user then your password. | 00:02 |
| lakitu | ok | 00:02 |
| lakitu | i'm goin' in. | 00:02 |
| lakitu | =P | 00:02 |
| k1l_ | Seonfr: well. that is some really special setup then. most users are fine without seperate /boot | 00:02 |
| lakitu | f7 or f1? | 00:03 |
| squinty | lakitu: f1 to go into tty f7 to return to the desktop | 00:03 |
| lakitu | oh ok | 00:03 |
| lakitu | good info =) | 00:03 |
| Seonfr | k1l_: so what do they do when they want to remove the os with grub? | 00:04 |
| k1l_ | Seonfr: if you remove ubuntu you will actually install other one. and that will bring is own bootloader | 00:04 |
| lakitu | alright didn't work | 00:06 |
| lakitu | for learning purposes, what is lightdm | 00:06 |
| javier_ | hola buenas tardes | 00:06 |
| Seonfr | k1l_, I'll go with a separate /boot/grub, two OSs might overwrite each other's kernel/initrds | 00:07 |
| daftykins | lakitu: the login manager, which kinda controls starting up the GUI | 00:07 |
| squinty | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightDM | 00:07 |
| lakitu | ok | 00:07 |
| daftykins | lakitu: ok remove catalyst and try an older version | 00:07 |
| lakitu | so a way to restart "X"? | 00:07 |
| k1l_ | Seonfr: so far we are talking about ubuntu only. you didnt mention a dualboot at all | 00:07 |
| Basketball | daftykins, the mac address box is greyed out | 00:08 |
| Seonfr | k1l_"[19:55] <Seonfr> So I want to install multiple linux operating systems" ... | 00:08 |
| daftykins | Basketball: this is still not a virtualbox channel. | 00:08 |
| squinty | Basketball: /join #vbox for virtualbox support | 00:08 |
| lakitu | daftykins: last line of defense - do i need to use a certain driver, in the video card part of kde's "driver manager"? | 00:08 |
| k1l_ | Seonfr: ah, my mistake. didnt scroll that much back | 00:09 |
| daftykins | lakitu: why is it offering some there? | 00:09 |
| lakitu | there's 3 | 00:09 |
| lakitu | i'm trying the 3rd one now | 00:09 |
| Aziroshin | No matter how I google around about it, apt-get missing from a debootstrap install doesn't seem to be a very common problem. There are a few cases, but no one has an answer for them. :o | 00:09 |
| daftykins | lakitu: wait - you can't install one of those if you installed manually from a download | 00:09 |
| lakitu | is doing that tty command different than logging out? | 00:09 |
| lakitu | hm? | 00:09 |
| daftykins | you can't just logout and in after driver installs | 00:09 |
| lakitu | ok | 00:10 |
| daftykins | at least - i think? anyone else? | 00:10 |
| lakitu | let me try to restart lightdm & see if it works with this driver | 00:10 |

| lakitu | i did the same thing i did all the other times | 00:19 |
| daftykins | lakitu: you installed menu ones after you downloaded a file from AMD's site to install? | 00:19 |
| lakitu | i tihnk | 00:19 |
| Aziroshin | I would like to verify a package from there: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap - Where would I be able to get the public key to do so? | 00:19 |
| lakitu | daftykins: after what i tried - downloading amd's installer - didn't work | 00:20 |
| lakitu | i didn't do that first | 00:20 |
| daftykins | lakitu: what was the first option that gave you catalyst 13 then? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | one of those 3 menu items? | 00:20 |
| lakitu | hm? | 00:20 |
| lakitu | the driver manager you mean? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | yeah | 00:20 |
| daftykins | were you just off trying the other 2? | 00:21 |
| lakitu | i didn't touch it at first, remembered catalyst & installed it after Display etc did nothing | 00:21 |
| lakitu | first | 00:21 |
| lakitu | then when that didn't work, i tried switching to other drivers, wondering if that was it | 00:21 |
| lakitu | because occasionally (before i'd restart) it'd throw an error about the driver | 00:21 |
| lakitu | but that's probably just because id din't restart first | 00:22 |
| lakitu | but | 00:22 |

| daftykins | wadie: how come you didn't pick the newest release, 14.04.1 ? | 00:27 |

| daftykins | wadie: can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to hopefully shed some light on what's going on? | 00:29 |
| squinty | Aziroshin: use Archive Manager to display the .deb's contents and then look for a file named md5sums. (not really sure if that is exactly what you are looking for or not) | 00:29 |
| daftykins | anon9ks83j: ok but this isn't a developer channel, you need to go and find the python channel | 00:29 |
| wadie | daftykins: what's the command ? | 00:30 |
| anon9ks83j | i just need a generic chat room , its statistical analysis | 00:30 |
| daftykins | wadie: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" then share the link | 00:30 |
| anon9ks83j | mostly llexical | 00:30 |
| daftykins | anon9ks83j: you are not welcome to perform any such activities here | 00:30 |
| daftykins | you can use #ubuntu-offtopic just fine | 00:31 |

Assuming normal conditions, and no abnormal network poopery, is there any reason that direct chats between myself and a friend, using different tmux sessions, on the same vps, connected to the same IRC server, would be horribly laggy? | 00:33 |

| wadie | daftykins: done | 00:34 |

| geudrik | anon9ks83j: why.. that doesn't make any sense | 00:36 |
| anon9ks83j | so we can determine it isn't your network, that it is the server app or the host | 00:37 |

| geudrik | s/server/server that my tmux session is on | 00:37 |

| anon9ks83j | 00:38 | |
| anon9ks83j | Have you tried to reinstall the same server from a defferent tarball | 00:38 |
| wadie | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8444169/ | 00:38 |
| Meridian | That's unfortunate, I'd expect people would be all over it considering the price/spec ratio. Doesn't seem particularly difficult to get it running, but I can see how it might turn some people off. | 00:38 |

I do not want to install along side Ubuntu and Windows, nor do I want to format (loosing windows) I just want to replace Ubuntu with XUbuntu | 01:05 |
| EriC^^ | TLoFP: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-destop | 01:05 |
| TLoFP | EriC^^: same as installing XUbuntu? lol, now I feel stupid | 01:06 |
| EriC^^ | that will install the xfce de, and you can choose unity or xfce at the login screen | 01:06 |

| _unreal_ | now how could you go and do that to the poor guy EriC^^ ;) | 01:06 |

| BadHorse | any suggestions? | 01:08 |
| buntutech | i had no idea u could do unity like that | 01:08 |
| daftykins | BadHorse: i'd bet your profile in ~ is owned by root instead of by you. | 01:08 |
| TLoFP | EriC^^: ok, good to know, I will go repair GRUB then instead of reinstalling | 01:08 |
| TLoFP | thanks again | 01:08 |

| daftykins | BadHorse: you haven't shared the output of the commands given to you... you need to confirm that root owns the folder first | 01:22 |
| daftykins | BadHorse: step 1, do this right now... find where the thunderbird profile is kept. | 01:23 |
| BadHorse | daftykins, i did an it works, but it stalls out for 20 secs before opening | 01:27 |
| BadHorse | and bogs down the cpu | 01:27 |

| daftykins | BadHorse: i am asking you to open a terminal and locate where the profile is stored, then share via pastebin "ls -al" in that folder | 01:27 |
| daftykins | BadHorse: if you cannot respond to my requests shortly i will have to stop trying. | 01:27 |

| blahdeblah | Hi. What's a good screen recorder with audio support for Ubuntu? I've tried gtk-recordmydesktop and istanbul and they both just hang for me (at different points). | 01:43 |
| kostkon | blahdeblah, those are rather old and outdated | 01:44 |
| d0lph1n98 | blahdeblah: just use ffmpeg | 01:45 |
| RonWhoCares | is it possible to copy the ubuntu ISO to a hard drive | 01:45 |
| kostkon | blahdeblah, vokoscreen, simplescreenrecorder, kazam are some better ones | 01:46 |
| blahdeblah | kostkon, d0lph1n98: thanks | 01:47 |
| blahdeblah | RonWhoCares: You can copy it to a bootable USB (presumably including a hard disk, although I haven't tried) using unetbootin | 01:47 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: whilst it's an ISO it's a file on your hard disk yes. what do you really mean? | 01:47 |
| blahdeblah | RonWhoCares: However, ISOs are not directly bootable from hard disk | 01:47 |
| kostkon | blahdeblah, all those 3 are easy to use. simplescreenrecorder is also especially good for gaming | 01:47 |
| RonWhoCares | I am trying to fix a laptop computer where an infant spilled a drink on it | 01:48 |
| daftykins | blahdeblah: they are with some GRUB editing, afaiui | 01:48 |
| RonWhoCares | The easiest option for me is to use my USB SATA cable and mount the ISO onto the hard drive | 01:48 |
| RonWhoCares | and then put the hard drive into the computer | 01:48 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: mounting an ISO onto an HDD is not a term that makes sense | 01:49 |
| blahdeblah | daftykins: interesting; I might have to look that up sometime | 01:49 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: all this fiddling then, is it because you don't have a USB flash drive and don't have any blank DVDs? | 01:49 |
| blahdeblah | kostkon: Looks like none of those are in the Ubuntu repos. :-\ | 01:49 |
| RonWhoCares | It appears the DVD drive and some USB ports were compromised in the spill | 01:50 |
| kostkon | blahdeblah, indeed. all of them offer .debs or ppas though. search webupd8.org or omgubuntu.co.uk for that info | 01:50 |
| EriC^^ | RonWhoCares: what kind of spill was it? ( im an expert on these, i learned my lesson though and never drink use the laptop as a coaster anymore ) | 01:51 |
| RonWhoCares | some type of milk shake | 01:51 |
| EriC^^ | ahh, that could be problematic | 01:51 |

| RonWhoCares | So I would like to put the ISO directly onto the hard drive | 01:52 |
| EriC^^ | RonWhoCares: this seems odd, when you mount the image, how will you run the installer? | 01:53 |
| === Guest26118 is now known as McPeter | ||
| RonWhoCares | Isn't the installed what I downloaded | 01:53 |
| Bashing-om | RonWhoCares: This ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-Ubuntu ISOs are designed to allow booting directly from the hard drive using GRUB 2 and eliminates the need for burning a CD/DVD. | 01:53 |
| RonWhoCares | or does it have to be elsewhere | 01:53 |
| OerHeks | install ubuntu normally without any special videodrivers, and transfer will take a longer boot 1st time, but will do. | 01:53 |
| blahdeblah | RonWhoCares: Can you explain your ultimate goal a bit more? Are you trying to install Ubuntu to an external hard disk from your working system, then put that hard disk into the target computer to run it? | 01:55 |
| RonWhoCares | blahdeblah: correct | 01:55 |
| blahdeblah | RonWhoCares: There is probably a better way to do that using the installer, but I'm not familiar with the process. | 01:57 |
| EriC^^ | RonWhoCares: boot up a live usb, and install ubuntu to the hdd you want to transfer | 01:59 |
| EriC^^ | RonWhoCares: be sure to install the bootloader onto it | 01:59 |
| === samuel_ is now known as Demetria | ||
| daftykins | EriC^^: sadly RonWhoCares has mentioned the DVD and USB ports are damaged from the spill | 02:03 |
| EriC^^ | daftykins: yeah i mean on the working pc | 02:03 |

| EriC^^ | RonWhoCares: i just was thinking about something, if you can open up the laptop and clean it, it might work again, | 02:04 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: are you wanting to avoid putting the spare drive into yours to install to... or is it not an option? | 02:04 |
| EriC^^ | btw i think the keyboard shouldn't be a problem if it works again, i just remembered spilling pepsi and such didn't cause issues, it was only when stuff was hot, like coffee + sugar | 02:05 |
| EriC^^ | or it could be something to do with something else | 02:06 |
| EriC^^ | report back! | 02:06 |

| openfly | hey all i am in the middle of an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and texlive has bombed out the upgrade process | 03:07 |

| daftykins | openfly: was it from a PPA? | 03:09 |
| openfly | no | 03:09 |
| daftykins | yeah i'd remove with dpkg -r then try to resume | 03:09 |
| openfly | hell of a lot of dependencies... | 03:09 |
| openfly | this is going to be a giant PITA | 03:09 |
| kostkon | openfly, many possible solutions in the comments | 03:10 |
| minimec | openfly: Try to 'sudo apt-get purge texlive-base', then 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 03:10 |
| openfly | 5Pcan't | 03:10 |
| openfly | can't execute a purge until the apt repo figures out the install | 03:10 |

| Megabyte | Hi, guys | 03:12 |
| Megabyte | Lately, I noticed that Wine improved dramatically in application compatibility | 03:12 |
| agus | hello | 03:12 |
| Megabyte | Why is that? | 03:12 |
| Megabyte | I've checked a few programs that were always "garbage": | 03:13 |
| BetyChan | Hola | 03:13 |
| Megabyte | Fritz, Photoshop... | 03:13 |
| agus | hola | 03:13 |
| Megabyte | these run really well now | 03:13 |
| BetyChan | Cómo andas? | 03:13 |
| openfly | kostkon too long for a buffer | 03:13 |
| Megabyte | The only one that still seems to refuse to run is InDesign | 03:13 |
| openfly | waaaaay too long | 03:13 |
| daftykins | Megabyte: i'd join the WINE channel and ask them. | 03:13 |
| Megabyte | daftykins you mean wine-hq? | 03:14 |
| kostkon | openfly, redirect it to a file | 03:14 |
| Megabyte | Wait... where's the wine channel? | 03:14 |

| ajeet | hi | 03:18 |
| lokoum | hello | 03:19 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I have multiple ubuntu installations and they both have bootloaders, could that cause any problems? | 03:24 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I have multiple ubuntu installations and they both have grub, could that cause any problems? | 03:24 |
| daftykins | why do you have that setup? | 03:25 |
| lokoum | i don't think | 03:25 |
| nrgyzerbenny | Because grub is installed by default. | 03:25 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, choose not to install grubs bootloader. update your preferred bootloader. problem solved. | 03:25 |
| nrgyzerbenny | The first installation seems to have dominance. | 03:25 |
| nrgyzerbenny | How would i uninstall grub bootloader? | 03:26 |
| openfly | http://paste.openstack.org/show/116132/ | 03:26 |
| openfly | now this is fun | 03:26 |
| openfly | i think i may have encountered a circular dependency in texlive | 03:26 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, actually the last bootloader installed will dominate. don't uninstall your grub, just don't install a new grub. | 03:26 |
| nrgyzerbenny | Then i guess mine may not have grub then. | 03:27 |
| nrgyzerbenny | How do i add ascii images to grub? | 03:27 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I'm currently customizing a gaming rig. | 03:28 |
| nrgyzerbenny | And i'm not familiar with customizing grub. | 03:28 |
| daftykins | this channel tends to be about serious issues of support | 03:28 |
| cfhowlett | !grub2 | 03:28 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 03:28 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, you'll have to read a bit. what you describe has been done. | 03:29 |
| nrgyzerbenny | Yes, i know, i'm actually basing it upon a grub screen i once saw in a youtube video | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, ... oooookay. try this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation | 03:30 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, see the 3rd paragraph "Warning ... " | 03:30 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I'm actually using grub-customizer for it. | 03:31 |
| cfhowlett | nrgyzerbenny, about the most exotic thing typically seen in this channel is dual boot. you're going to have to do serious research since your end-goal is relatively rare. | 03:33 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I'll try a customized dual boot screen then | 03:34 |
| nrgyzerbenny | I'll use burg. | 03:35 |
| openfly | okay side stepped bug... posted notes to bug i think it was related to | 03:35 |
| openfly | kinda ugly solution though | 03:35 |
| t0ntin | is it ok to paste a link here to ask a question? | 03:35 |
| nrgyzerbenny | In a day i've learned to use apt and compile c++. | 03:36 |
| openfly | thanks for listening to gripes and giving advice | 03:37 |
| mashu | hey | 03:40 |
| mashu | i want to create code | 03:41 |
| Bashing-om | t0ntin: Posting a link is fine, asking a question is fine, just ask and see if there is a response. | 03:41 |
| mashu | that adds an extra for loop | 03:41 |
| mashu | each time it loops | 03:41 |
| mashu | how would i do that | 03:41 |
| mashu | say i want to print | 03:41 |
| mashu | for i in [a,b,c]: print i | 03:41 |
| mashu | so i get a b c | 03:41 |
| mashu | but then i want to an extra for loop | 03:42 |
| mashu | and have | 03:42 |
| daftykins | mashu: this is not a channel for coding, find one for the language you're dealing with. | 03:42 |

| Seonfr | hi, how do I start unity 8 from the terminal? | 03:50 |
| Seonfr | or even better, are there any nice-looking DMs not using Xorg? | 03:51 |
| elhoir | Seonfr, XMir, but itsw not "ready" | 03:53 |
| t0ntin | I was trying to change my default file manager, so I ran these three commands from this web page: http://www.noobslab.com/2014/02/set-nemo-as-default-file-manager-in.html . Now I cannot see any desktop icons or right click the desktop. Any ideas? | 03:53 |
| Seonfr | elhoir, so with XMir I can use lightdm unity greeter, which requires xorg? | 03:54 |
| elhoir | yes, with the package xserver-xorg-video-mir (or something like this) | 03:54 |
| elhoir | this package allows an Xorg server nested in top of Mir | 03:55 |
| elhoir | but i have not tested it | 03:56 |
| Seonfr | so it starts automatically on boot? | 03:56 |
| Seonfr | it doesn't seem to work | 03:58 |
| Seonfr | do i have to start it somehow? | 03:58 |
| ovnicraft | i am looking for xorg.conf, so 14.04 has not, i could create it to add a device and wont be problems with other devices ? | 04:01 |
| elhoir | Seonfr, what have you done? | 04:02 |
| Seonfr | elhoir: I've installed xserver-xorg-xmir, rebooted, and tried to start lightdm | 04:03 |
| elhoir | nah | 04:03 |
| elhoir | you just installed the way xorg is nested in mir | 04:03 |
| elhoir | but you didnt actually install the Mir server | 04:03 |
| Seonfr | i had installed unity8-mir-something earlier | 04:03 |
| elhoir | try this --- sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop-mir && sudo reboot | 04:04 |
| === cppforlife_ is now known as cppforlife | ||
| elhoir | (i think it works if you just kill Xorg , without needing reboot, but as i said, i havent tested this) | 04:04 |
| Seonfr | I don't have Xorg | 04:05 |
| elhoir | huh? | 04:05 |
| elhoir | you do | 04:05 |
| elhoir | for sure | 04:05 |
| Seonfr | no, i don't | 04:05 |
| elhoir | and what are you using=? | 04:05 |
| Seonfr | I have these packages on ubuntu server: unity8-desktop-session-mir lightdm (no recommends) unity-greeter xserver-xorg-xmir | 04:07 |
| Seonfr | lightdm needs xorg, can i get it to use xmir? | 04:07 |
| elhoir | ah, you are in server edition | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, server? with a gui? but why? | 04:08 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, I want to use unity8 with mir on my laptop, and i don't see why i need unity7 on it, and all those lens things, and anyway, I use the packages included in the server install | 04:09 |
| elhoir | you installed the wrong edition :) | 04:10 |
| elhoir | you should have installed desktop, not server :) | 04:10 |
| daftykins | pretty sure mir is non-final and thus not supported yet. | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | !mir | Seonfr, | 04:11 |
| amporabipo | hi | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Seonfr,: Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir | 04:11 |
| elhoir | still, you can install the ubuntu-desktop-mir package | 04:11 |
| elhoir | and it will do the rest | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, if you insist on mir, you are in fact beta testing - you break it, you fix it. | 04:11 |
| Seonfr | Yes, but desktop comes with unity 7, x org, and those stupid lens packages, and I want unity 8 with mir | 04:12 |
| elhoir | desktop-MIR | 04:12 |
| elhoir | :) | 04:12 |
| Romance | Hello please help me, my ISP dont give ipv6, so im thinking can i do ssh tunneling from my vps (has ipv6) and then open any ipv6 website from my computer? please | 04:13 |
| elhoir | i dont know if it will install unity 7 or 8, through | 04:13 |
| elhoir | Romance, why do u need ipv6? | 04:13 |
| Seonfr | it's also going to install xorg | 04:14 |
| Romance | elhoir: the same question to why i need internet | 04:14 |
| elhoir | ? | 04:14 |
| elhoir | im on Internet and i dont have ipv6 in my router | 04:14 |
| daftykins | Romance: there are plenty of IPv6 tunnel brokers out there, set one of those up maybe. | 04:15 |
| daftykins | Romance: but your desire to have this is utterly pointless. | 04:15 |

| OoTLink | Hi :) What would be the most bullet proof way to get a remote desktop server running that will start up on its own every time the computer starts.. and wil work with tightvnc with a password and no funky ass config? :) | 05:51 |
| OoTLink | because in my experience the built in one almost never works | 05:52 |
| OoTLink | -_- | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !vnc | OoTLink | 05:52 |
| ubottu | OoTLink: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 05:52 |
| OoTLink | doing it over the internet isn't necessary, the machine is in the same room on my network, I'd just prefer not to touch the dan gthing | 05:53 |

I deleted CRYPT-LUKS partition, and before that partition were my partition where i keep all my photos. Later I noticed that the photos partition were unable to mount, and after some searching, i found out that "either the superblock or partition table is cor | 07:12 |
| Migho | rupt". After some googling i tried "sudo mke2fs -S /dev/xxx && sudo fsck /dev/xxx" but it ended into a silly amount of questions, so i terminated it. Now i tried to copy the partition with GParted, and it have been running command "e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdc1" for 15 hours now, is it really fixing it, or is it messing it up more? :c anyone knows? | 07:12 |

| stim | any suggestions? | 08:16 |
| stim | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS | 08:17 |
| ikonia | stim: what package are you installing | 08:17 |
| ikonia | stim: you've shown apt-get install -f | 08:17 |
| ikonia | stim: but what package caused the problem | 08:18 |
| stim | ikonia libc6 because it depends on locales | 08:18 |
| ikonia | it's cleraly something significan as it's removing sendmail and procmail | 08:18 |
| ikonia | stim: you can't remove libc | 08:18 |
| stim | i've pinned the dependencies for libc because need version 6 | 08:18 |
| ikonia | then how do you expect it to work | 08:18 |
| ikonia | if you've pinned the dependencies, but it wants to upgrade them to update libc | 08:19 |
| ikonia | stim: again - what was the actual package/command you did before apt-get install -f | 08:19 |
| ikonia | what was the command that "broke" this ? | 08:19 |
| stim | what i exactly does was apt-get -t jessie install libc | 08:19 |
| stim | 6 | 08:19 |
| ikonia | stim err no | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: you can't do that | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: jessie is debian | 08:20 |
| stim | i've done it | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: libc is also already installed and should not be changed | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: why did you do that ??? | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: thats' not going to work | 08:20 |
| stim | because batctl (batman mesh) project requires libc6 | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: that doesn't mean you can do that | 08:20 |
| ikonia | stim: have you added/changed any repos ? | 08:21 |
| stim | yes exacly give me a sec i'll post my sources.list | 08:21 |
| stim | http://nopaste.info/01d52b61c0.html | 08:21 |
| ikonia | stim: yeah - game over | 08:22 |
| ikonia | stim: you can't do that | 08:22 |
| ikonia | stim: I'd very strongly suggest you re-install and only use ubuntu repos | 08:22 |
| ikonia | you've created a problem with the mission critical C library your system uses | 08:22 |
| ikonia | get it back to a good state | 08:22 |
| stim | i can't reinstall system | 08:23 |
| ikonia | stim: you need to | 08:23 |

| === sdx32 is now known as sdx23 | ||
| ikonia | you've updated your C library from a wrong/external distro | 08:23 |
| stim | and my system works fine | 08:23 |
| ikonia | you could manually fix this, but the effort/concern for it actually being %100 fixed is not something I believ ein | 08:23 |
| ikonia | stim: sorry - no it doesn't | 08:23 |
| stim | why? | 08:23 |
| stim | only my dependencies are messed up | 08:24 |
| ikonia | stim: because you've used a critical C library from the wrong version of a different distro | 08:24 |
| stim | can you please explain why that is so bad | 08:24 |
| stim | it won't fit in my head why i couldnt install a fresh version. are the functions included wich are different to the old version? | 08:25 |
| ikonia | because it's not designed to use your system | 08:25 |
| ikonia | stim: if you disagree, thats fine, carry on | 08:25 |
| ikonia | but your ubuntu support stance is now "out of support" | 08:25 |
| stim | what happens if i kicked the jessy sources out apt-get update | 08:25 |
| stim | apt-get install libc | 08:26 |
| ikonia | no | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | then you probably have a bunch of stuff already broken | 08:26 |
| ikonia | you're depdencies are broken | 08:26 |
| ikonia | and as I said I wouldn't have confidence in reversing it as the C library is critical | 08:26 |
| stim | and things like what should be broken? | 08:26 |
| stim | it are just libfiles right? i know importent libfiles | 08:27 |
| ikonia | or I wouldn't "trust" the system | 08:27 |
| stim | as i said i havent notices problems jet exept the broken dependencies | 08:27 |
| stim | ikonia could you tell me how to try? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | no | 08:27 |
| ikonia | I'm not being part of that | 08:28 |
| stim | wow | 08:28 |
| ikonia | I strongly suggest you re-install your system | 08:28 |
| stim | it must be a huge problem | 08:28 |
| ikonia | if you don't want to, that's your decision | 08:28 |
| Ben64 | it really isn't worth it to try to undo that. learn from this and reinstall | 08:28 |
| stim | easy to say | 08:28 |
| ikonia | then if it's that important you should have done more research before doing it, and not rushed in blind | 08:29 |
| ikonia | apologies if that sounds harsh, but it's the truth | 08:29 |

| koell | Hi there, I just have a weird problem on my dad's pc. He is using sylpheed email client and the folder list on the left is in its own window. How do I put this folder list back to the left of the screen so it is all a single window? I guess sylpheed is a gtk app, but I just down know how to "dock" both windows together. | 09:21 |

| outofspace | hi guys , im having a problem in my ubuntu device | 09:47 |
| outofspace | cant even remove files | 09:47 |
| outofspace | when i try, it says: rm git-bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device | 09:47 |
| outofspace | df -h shows 100% full | 09:48 |
| tarelerulz_ | I read that netflix should work natively in Ubuntu now. If you can get the NSS 3.17 . How would I get that package? | 09:51 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | outofspace, try truncate -s 0 git-bash | 09:52 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: check dpkg -l | grep libnss | 09:53 |
| cyberpolice | see all ur package is more than 3.17 | 09:53 |
| kevin78 | i will be hosting a game server on my pc in the basement that's running 24/7 soon, but is there any way i can avoid losing connection when getting ddosed without losing too much performance of my server connection? | 09:54 |
| kevin78 | when i'm working on my other pc's | 09:54 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: try search libnss3 on ubuntu software center | 09:54 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: software updater | 09:55 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | kevin78, possibly TCP syncookies depending on the game | 09:55 |
| tarelerulz_ | It says I have libnss3 2:3.15.4-1ubuntu7 . | 09:56 |
| kevin78 | will try to look that up, thanks | 09:56 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: then you gotta do sofware updates | 09:56 |
| outofspace | Eduard_Munteanu thanks, i dont want to delete the entire git folder, only a certain path: git/folder1/logs | 09:56 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hm, a folder. | 09:57 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | outofspace, the above works for single files, try finding a large-ish one to free up a bit of space. | 09:57 |
| tarelerulz_ | This may sound dumb ,but how do you update that package ? I don't see an update feature on the gui on the package manger | 10:00 |

| xangua | tarelerulz_: open the update manager | 10:01 |
| kevin78 | i have another problem also, everytime i connect to my rdp with xrdp i get the error "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed:Cannot determine user of subject" (using Lubuntu) | 10:02 |
| kevin78 | i did some research about the problem and forums say PolicyKit Authentication Agent has to be unchecked, but for me it was unchecked already | 10:02 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: go to software update application | 10:03 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: sorry, "Software Updater" | 10:03 |
| tarelerulz_ | What is it called ? | 10:03 |
| outofspace | Eduard_Munteanu thank u very much! | 10:04 |
| tarelerulz_ | Wow , really need to learn my system again | 10:05 |

| rzyz | Hello, last ubuntu with xfce, is there possibility to set the active window to bo allways on top by a shortcut? | 10:08 |
| tarelerulz_ | I click the first one , its says I am update | 10:08 |
| tarelerulz_ | This where I'm lost , its says I have libnss3 ,but it an old version. | 10:13 |
| bekks | tarelerulz_: Which Ubuntu release are you on? | 10:13 |
| tarelerulz_ | 14.04 | 10:13 |
| bekks | tarelerulz_: Then just run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:14 |
| tarelerulz_ | Have any of you watched netflix on Ubuntu with the new 14.10 ? | 10:15 |
| k1l | tarelerulz_: for 14.10 better ask in #ubuntu+1 | 10:15 |
| tarelerulz_ | I ask for the simple reason that nss is updated in 14.10 and That is what I read netflix needs. | 10:17 |
| tarelerulz_ | Have any of you watched netflix on Ubuntu at all? | 10:18 |
| minimec | rzyz: Looks like this could be a solution http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=8231 | 10:19 |
| k1l | tarelerulz_: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/nss-updated-to-allow-native-html5.html | 10:20 |
| kevindf | hello, how can i set a azerty keyboard on xrdp? | 10:20 |
| k1l | tarelerulz_: "And with today's update, all the supported Ubuntu versions (12.04, 14.04 and 14.10 - currently in development) include NSS 3.17 so all that's left is for Netflix to add Ubuntu to their supported OS list, and Ubuntu users will have native Netflix HTML5 payback out of the box." | 10:21 |
| tarelerulz_ | it is funny tell me it should work ,but no one for sure it it does at all. I mean not find anything on the web other then new update should work. | 10:22 |
| minimec | tarelerulz_: Looks like trusty & utopic have the same version now of libnss3... So I guess lib nss has been updated in trusty... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=libnss3&searchon=names | 10:22 |
| theperfectpunk | how can i run a script in background | 10:23 |
| kevindf | i'm trying to set azerty keyboard on my ubuntu server but can anyeone tell me what the "pc104" stands for in this command line? "setxkbmap –model pc104 –layout us –variant dvorak" | 10:23 |
| theperfectpunk | i tried adding & at the end | 10:23 |
| kevindf | obviously i have to change the other layout | 10:23 |
| theperfectpunk | but i need to keep the terminal open | 10:23 |
| theperfectpunk | i want to close the terminal after executing the script | 10:23 |
| rzyz | minimec, thanks, i will look at it | 10:24 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: i did have netflix working on livecd 14.04 | 10:25 |
| tarelerulz_ | That was all native no hack or wine or anything like that | 10:26 |
| bekks | theperfectpunk: then use "nohup scriptname" | 10:26 |
| kevindf | can anyone tell me what the "pc104" stands for in this command line? "setxkbmap –model pc104 –layout us –variant dvorak" | 10:28 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: yeah, i updated nss, got google-chrome-stable, and installed a user agent extension and entered the user agent string from a website (i cant find it), and then enabled html5 player in netflix settings | 10:29 |
| cyberpolice | tarelerulz_: i had a problem, it wasnt working immediately, but i just restarted chrome again and it worked after that | 10:29 |

| bekks | kevindf: it stands for a pc keyboard with 104 keys. | 10:30 |
| kevindf | ok thanks bekks | 10:30 |
| kevindf | do you have any idea to set a belgium azerty keyboard layout what i should use? setxkbmap –model pc104 –layout be –variant dvorak? | 10:30 |
| aksnot | hello guys how can use more than 1 nic for internet access on 12.04 ? Thanks . Any insight appreciated . | 10:30 |
| bekks | kevindf: do you want to use dvorak? | 10:32 |
| kevindf | i'm not sure what the azerty keyboard layout is called | 10:32 |
| bekks | kevindf: not dvorak ;) | 10:33 |
| kevindf | :) | 10:33 |
| bekks | kevindf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard | 10:33 |
| Fuchs | kevindf: be should be belgian azerty | 10:34 |
| Fuchs | kevindf: both -variant and -model are quite probably not needed | 10:34 |
| kevindf | ok | 10:34 |
| kevindf | thanks | 10:34 |
| kevindf | weird | 10:36 |
| Fuchs | hm? | 10:36 |
| kevindf | when i do cd/etc/rdp and after that "setxkbmap -layout be i get "XKB extension not present on :13.0 | 10:36 |
| kevindf | cd /etc/xrdp* | 10:37 |
| Fuchs | kevindf: wait, are you in a graphical environment or on a VT? | 10:37 |
| kevindf | i'm using lubuntu | 10:37 |
| kevindf | so graphical, as i'm not familiar with the commands enough in order to go fully server | 10:37 |
| Firefly67 | hi, my middle mouse button is not copy-pasting any longer, how can I fix this? | 10:38 |
| === kev is now known as Guest73023 | ||
| Fuchs | kevindf: okay, that's an oddly high Display number ... anything special you are running? Also just setxkbmap be should work, even though that should not matter | 10:38 |
| kevindf | i'm not running anything at the moment | 10:39 |
| kevindf | but at the start when i connect to xrdp from windows i do get a error | 10:39 |
| Fuchs | oh, xrdp | 10:39 |
| Fuchs | yeah, that's something entirely different | 10:39 |
| kevindf | :) | 10:39 |
| Fuchs | kevindf: you need to use xrdp-genkeymap for that | 10:40 |
| sriram | hi | 10:40 |
| Fuchs | for that you need to find out the correct code (as in: numbers, unfortunately) for Belgium. I don't know that one by heart | 10:40 |
| Fuchs | I assume it should be google-able though | 10:41 |
| kevindf | like for example xrdp-genkeymap km-0409.ini but then with the code from my country | 10:41 |
| Fuchs | yes. | 10:41 |
| kevindf | i'm fine with the french layout also if your familiar with that code :) | 10:41 |
| kevindf | but if not i'll take a look on google | 10:41 |
| minimec | kevindf: Can you have a look at /etc/default/keyboard ? If you set XKBLAYOUT="be" in there... you should be ok... | 10:42 |
| Fuchs | neither I'm afraid, I use the Swiss variant | 10:42 |
| Fuchs | minimec: not for xrdp, no | 10:42 |
| minimec | Fuchs: Oh. OK. | 10:43 |
| Fuchs | kevindf: http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=3858 there you go | 10:43 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:52 |
| pinumbernumber | okay, the panic I mentioned doesn't seem to be happening in 3.17-rc6, so it looks like a kernel radeon bug indeed | 10:53 |

| minimec | Fohlen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 11:09 |
| Fohlen | grazie | 11:09 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I'd expect at least mangle to be enabled by default. | 11:12 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Perhaps one just needs to modprobe ipt_mangle | 11:12 |
| minimec | folivora: Eduard_Munteanu: Right. Both modules are available in a standard Ubuntu kernel --> 3.13.0-35-generic 'CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE=m' 'CONFIG_IP_NF_RAW=m' | 11:15 |

However, instead of showing up with other games in the Unity dash I'd like to have a new application sub-sections (something like "Retro Games" or "Commodore").

| MagicSpud | cfhowlett is the first news I get | 12:34 |
| MagicSpud | I guess the upgrade worked partially | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | MagicSpud, so those precise entries in your repos are quite likely to cause confusion and breakage. clean them up. | 12:34 |

| dariuss | Ubuntu 13.10 Server. 16 Ramdisks are pre-built at about 64M (/dev/ramX).

Is there any way for me to get a 2G BLOCK DEVICE without rebooting? Note that I need a block device, not a tmpfs filesystem. Thanks | 12:35 |
| MagicSpud | I ve been using this distro for years | 12:35 |

| MagicSpud | it is called steam-launcher but it keeps complainning about nis | 12:47 |
| bekks | MagicSpud: What is "it"? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | nis is nothing to do with steam | 12:48 |
| bekks | We dont know what you are doing. | 12:48 |
| ikonia | and nis is not installed by default on ubuntu (client or server) | 12:48 |

| ikonia | MagicSpud: you know you are banned from this channel | 12:49 |
| ikonia | MagicSpud: please stop | 12:49 |

| ikonia | Samurairoma | 12:49 |
| MagicSpud | $ sudo apt-get remove --purge steam-launcher | 12:49 |
| bekks | MagicSpud: Yes, you removed that package successfully. | 12:50 |
| MagicSpud | bekks really? but it keeps complaining with the dpkg error | 12:50 |
| bekks | MagicSpud: And it removed steam-launcher before. | 12:50 |
| MagicSpud | cool | 12:51 |
| MagicSpud | now what? | 12:51 |
| bekks | What do you need nis for? | 12:51 |
| MagicSpud | I dont even know what it is | 12:51 |
| ikonia | MagicSpud: apologies, you're not who I thought you where | 12:51 |
| bekks | Why did you install it then? :) | 12:51 |
| MagicSpud | networking information system perhaps | 12:51 |
| shadow33 | i want to start a chat with nc/netcat but the command nc -l -p 1300 gives an usage error. it is started as root :-O. Why? | 12:52 |
| MagicSpud | ikonia :-) | 12:52 |
| ikonia | MagicSpud: why do you need nis ? | 12:52 |
| MagicSpud | no idea | 12:52 |
| ikonia | then why is it installed ? | 12:52 |
| MagicSpud | I dont know | 12:52 |
| bekks | MagicSpud: So remove it. | 12:52 |
| MagicSpud | okay | 12:52 |
| MagicSpud | sudo apt-get remove --purge nis | 12:53 |
| bekks | MagicSpud: "apt-get remove --purge" can be written as "apt-get purge" | 12:54 |

| tdn | I just installed ubuntu 12.04 for the thrid time. It wont boot. It just says No operating system after BIOS POST. What am I supposed to do? It appears that grub was not installed or something like that. I am installing form USB. Please advice. | 12:57 |
| tdn | I think the machine might use EFI/UEFI. Can that be it? | 12:58 |
| cfhowlett | tdn, oh, yes it could | 12:58 |
| tdn | It has worked with Ubuntu before. Then the installation broke and I had to reinstall. | 12:58 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest78317 | ||
| tdn | cfhowlett, how do I fix that? Does Ubuntu not handle EFI/UEFI? | 12:58 |
| cfhowlett | !uefi | tdn, | 12:58 |
| ubottu | tdn,: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 12:58 |
| auscompgeek | tdn: just curious, why are you using 12.04 rather than 14.04? | 13:01 |
| frog | nautilus doesn't want to start. what can i try? killing or ending over the system monitor doesnt help | 13:03 |
| tdn | auscompgeek, because I rely on pycentral and other stuff that is not present in 14.04. Also, 12.04 is still supported, right? So this should not be a problem. | 13:03 |
| auscompgeek | tdn: fair enough, as long as you have a good reason :) | 13:04 |
| tdn | cfhowlett, wow, that looks extremely complicated. :( | 13:06 |
| cfhowlett | tdn, microsoft doesn't make it easy to use linux. :) alternatives exist: install virtual box to windows, install 32 bit lubuntu/xubuntu inside virtualbox. | 13:06 |
| frog | nautilus doesn't want to start. what can i try? killing or ending over the system monitor doesnt help | 13:07 |
| EriC^^ | cfhowlett: you can use 64bit | 13:08 |

| auscompgeek | EriC^^: virtualising a 32bit OS uses less RAM than virtualising a 64bit OS, I believe | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | exactomundo! | 13:13 |

| tdn | EriC^^, I can boot on live USB, yes. | 13:26 |
| kevindf_ | how can i make i can edit it, | 13:26 |
| compdoc | kevindf_, sudo | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | tdn: ok check sudo efibootmgr -v | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | you might need to chroot to your installation first | 13:26 |
| compdoc | nano is nicer than vi | 13:26 |
| kevindf_ | let me see | 13:26 |
| kevindf_ | easier to work with, | 13:27 |
| kevindf_ | ? | 13:27 |
| compdoc | I think so | 13:27 |
| kevindf_ | just one more thing, how do i exit this vi editor with saving? | 13:27 |
| kevindf_ | i know :wq is for saving | 13:27 |
| kevindf_ | without* | 13:27 |
| marlo_ | kevindf_, :q! | 13:27 |

| Seonfr | Is it a good idea to have a small command line install of ubuntu which all it does is manage grub, so that grub doesn't break if I remove one of my OSs? | 13:33 |
| kevindf_ | i like working with linux commands so much | 13:33 |
| === CoreIT84 is now known as Corey84 | ||
| kevindf_ | it makes you feel good :) | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, no. remove the os and update grub to reflect changes. but if your command-line fu is strong - go for it. | 13:33 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, yes, but if I remove the os with the grub configuration files, I'd have to install grub on another OS and move the config files | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, grub installs to the device partition, not the OS partition ... reinstall grub is you need to | 13:36 |
| tdn | I tried using boot-repair to get Ubuntu to boot from UEFI. THis is the paste that it created: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8447805/ | 13:37 |
| tdn | It does not work. I still get the No OS boot error. | 13:37 |
| tdn | What to do? | 13:37 |
| Seonfr | but grub needs /boot/grub to boot, which is on my first-installed OS's partition | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, you installed it on the OS partition? not the usual method ... | 13:39 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, how else would I install it? | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, install to the device e.g. dev/sda | 13:39 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, I did install it to a device | 13:39 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, that's just the stage 1 bootloader which loads the rest from /boot/grub | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, so with subsequent installations do NOT install a bootloader, just update grub | 13:40 |
| Seonfr | cfhowlett, yes, but if for some reason I decide to remove my main OS, then grub would break | 13:41 |
| EriC^^ | tdn: try to install grub manually | 13:41 |
| kale | hi, need some help getting X running again. I get a segfault when running startx | 13:41 |

| tdn | EriC^^, yes | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | Seonfr, and easily fixed by resintalling grub - full circle recommendation | 13:41 |
| tdn | EriC^^, I am running boot-repair right now. | 13:41 |
| tdn | EriC^^, did you see the paste above? | 13:42 |

| raichunator | whats the best choice | 13:44 |

| Guest41876 | question, is there a way to get my fingerprint device on my laptop to work with ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| Guest41876 | i've googled for it but no solution works | 13:50 |
| Guest41876 | mostly old docs | 13:51 |
| auscompgeek | depends on which fingerprint device | 13:51 |
| Guest41876 | how do i find out? | 13:51 |
| kevindf_ | is SSH remote standard installed in desktop versions of like lubuntu | 13:52 |
| k1l | kevindf_: ssh client? yes | 13:53 |
| auscompgeek | kevindf_: client or server? afaik openssh-server isn't installed on any desktop release | 13:53 |
| kevindf_ | i'm using lubuntu to get used to the linux commands now before using the regular ubuntu server | 13:53 |
| kevindf_ | i don't have to secure me against SSH brute forcers if i installed the desktop version? | 13:53 |
| raichunator | Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 14.04 and in additional drivers I see 3 options, the proprietary drivers and opensource one, which one is the recommended choice? I've seen some posts that say not to use proprietary dirvers from the website since it will break the installation | 13:54 |
| raichunator | not sure what to do | 13:54 |
| k1l | kevindf_: you dont have the ssh-server running because its not installed on default in the desktop versions | 13:54 |
| kevindf_ | ok thanks | 13:54 |
| auscompgeek | raichunator: if you need features only the proprietary drivers offer, then use them; otherwise stick with opensource drivers | 13:55 |
| raichunator | auscompgeek, features like what ? | 13:55 |
| bekks | kevindf_: There is no "desktop" version of ssh. There is openssh-serve and openssh-client only. | 13:55 |
| k1l | raichunator: which card? | 13:55 |
| Guest41876 | anyone? fingerprint reading for ubuntu? | 13:56 |
| raichunator | radeon hd 7770 | 13:56 |
| bekks | *server | 13:56 |
| kevindf_ | i guess using lubuntu desktop with the GUI first is a good way to start hosting servers? | 13:56 |
| kevindf_ | after that move on to the regular ubuntu server | 13:56 |
| cfhowlett | Guest41876, fingerprint readers are not especially well supported. there are some ppa if I recall correctly | 13:56 |
| k1l | raichunator: so you can try the fglrx from the official ubuntu repo. so this is made working with the ubunut setup and you get updates to it. the one form the website you need to update yourself and dont know if it works properly | 13:57 |
| bekks | kevindf_: ubuntu server is just ubuntu without a desktop environment. | 13:57 |
| kevindf_ | ok | 13:57 |
| raichunator | k1l, i think i'm going to go between the proprietary from the official ubuntu repos and the opensource, not sure which one is the best though | 13:57 |
| raichunator | website thing I should avoid since it's not supported I guess | 13:58 |
| blackangelpr | Guest41876, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/how-to-get-your-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu mine its microsoft they stop the support after one year and never got it to work under linux | 13:58 |
| k1l | Guest41876: there are big differences on the fingerprint readers due to the way the manufacturer supports it etc. | 13:58 |
| k1l | raichunator: the open source driver is some sort of "reverse engeneering". most things work, but sometimes it lacks stuff some people need. so you are running the open one as default. if you install the fglrx one you can test if that is better (performance, features, heating, etc) | 13:59 |
| auscompgeek | ^ | 14:00 |
| raichunator | k1l, thank you very much i'll test the proprietary one | 14:00 |
| Mickey | Hello, I have a problem with my Dell Latitude e6420 running ubuntu 14 32bit | 14:01 |

| auscompgeek | Mickey: what's the problem (we can't read minds :P ) | 14:03 |

| EriC^^ | Foorack: btw i dont have javascript.conf here | 15:29 |

| Foorack | not javascript.conf | 15:29 |
| mozhan | ?? nobody don't have any ideao about it ? | 15:29 |
| EriC^^ | that too | 15:29 |
| Foorack | :O | 15:29 |
| Foorack | I deleted mine without having a backup of it.. | 15:30 |
| EriC^^ | Foorack: if it's completely fresh you could just reinstall apache2 or something | 15:30 |
| graingert | !patience | mozhan | 15:30 |
| ubottu | mozhan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:30 |
| graingert | Foorack: where did you get it from? | 15:30 |
| Foorack | It's on a quite configured server so I can't just reinstall it :/ | 15:30 |
| Foorack | I dont know, been there since install. | 15:30 |
| graingert | Foorack: are you sure? | 15:31 |
| Foorack | about 78% sure :P | 15:31 |
| graingert | Foorack: can you re-provision your server? | 15:31 |
| graingert | Foorack: using your configuration management tools | 15:31 |
| Foorack | what does that mean? | 15:31 |
| graingert | Foorack: salt, puppet chef ansible etc | 15:31 |
| graingert | Foorack: do you use it? | 15:31 |
| collizion | Foorack, hold on, let me see if I can find the package copy. | 15:31 |
| collizion | Foorack, what version you running? | 15:32 |
| Foorack | graingert, never heard of.... I'm just using ssh.. | 15:32 |
| Foorack | latest version | 15:32 |
| collizion | Foorack, stand by. | 15:32 |
| graingert | Foorack: okay you should probably switch to using Configuration Management of some sort. This way you can rebuild your server each time you do a deploy | 15:33 |
| bellow | I am thinking about buying a series on VUDU but already have the first three seasons. Would you buy the series(even though that means rebuying the first three seasons and mess it up if they come out with the rest on blu-ray with the code) or set up another account(not to mess up the redeem codes in the future when you buy the blurays) and buy them? | 15:33 |
| collizion | Foorack, Advice in the future: don't accidentally delete stuff. | 15:33 |
| graingert | Foorack: all your settings etc go into git or other DVCS | 15:33 |
| collizion | graingert, i dont think hes doing a deployment, i think he just borked a file by accident | 15:33 |
| laurens181 | Hi | 15:33 |
| newlin | is it possible to insert a line like (------------) after every command? | 15:33 |
| graingert | collizion: I'm aware :p | 15:33 |
| graingert | newlin: yes, but why? | 15:33 |
| Foorack | Yes, I connected with ssh and accidently deleted a file | 15:33 |
| newlin | graingert, just for fun | 15:34 |
| AndChat|51401 | My screen brightness control is not working in ubuntu.. | 15:34 |
| newlin | :) | 15:34 |
| newlin | graingert, experimenting with command propmt | 15:34 |
| graingert | newlin: ah if it's just for fun you should go work that out by yourself :p | 15:34 |
| newlin | graingert, :( | 15:34 |
| collizion | Foorack, configuration management is massively overcomplicating the solution - in the future, dont zap files. | 15:34 |
| graingert | newlin: it will be no fun if I tell you what to paste in | 15:34 |
| graingert | collizion: it's really not | 15:34 |
| newlin | graingert, yup, not for fun now ;) | 15:34 |
| Foorack | Yes, I know I made a mistake.. | 15:34 |
| collizion | graingert: it really is. :) | 15:35 |
| graingert | collizion: it really isn't | 15:35 |
| Foorack | But is there anyone that knows how I could get a copy of the file so I can recreate it? | 15:35 |
| collizion | Foorack, patience. im working on it. | 15:35 |
| graingert | collizion: my argument is that you should use CM so that if you zap a file then you can rebuild your server from scratch | 15:35 |
| collizion | Foorack, is that apache 2.4? | 15:36 |
| Foorack | collizion, ok sorry, thanks | 15:36 |
| graingert | and you shouldn't be able to zap a file because you will only be making changes using CM | 15:36 |
| newlin | graingert, trying to search but google is giving off topic results | 15:36 |
| Foorack | 2.4.7 | 15:36 |
| Foorack | But I dont think it matters.. | 15:36 |
| Foorack | It should be the same over most versions | 15:36 |
| graingert | Foorack: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=javascript-common.conf&mode=exactfilename&suite=trusty&arch=any | 15:36 |
| collizion | Foorack, lets not play with fire. | 15:37 |
| graingert | Foorack: what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 15:37 |
| Foorack | 14.04 | 15:37 |
| graingert | Foorack: a "sudo aptitude reinstall javascript-common" should get it back | 15:37 |
| Foorack | dpkg: error processing package javascript-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: javascript-common | 15:38 |

| swede_30 | hello channel! im kinda new to linux, has just installed lubuntu, but are not very happy with the looks of it. i would like to try Cinnamon, which disto is the best one? Mint? | 16:05 |
| garrie | Mint, yes. | 16:06 |
| jhutchins | RixiM: The best way to achieve that is to download the DVD images and use those. | 16:06 |
| garrie | I'm personally a fan of XFCE, which you can get on Mint, or with ubuntu via Xubuntu. | 16:06 |
| daftykins | swede_30: try out xfce, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 16:07 |
| jhutchins | garrie: Or just install on regular ubuntu. | 16:07 |
| swede_30 | daftykins, you mean i can try xfce on my lubuntu? | 16:08 |
| jhutchins | swede_30: You can install any of the DEs on ubuntu, there's no need to change distributions. You can have multiple DEs on the same install. | 16:08 |
| jhutchins | !install xfce | 16:08 |
| jhutchins | !xfce | 16:08 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:08 |
| ldiamond | I modified my mouse's acceleration and sensitivity in the mouse settings (with the cursor) in 12.04. I need to know what settings are affected and their exact value (so that I can reproduce the same sensitivity on other systems). Anyone knows that? | 16:08 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: Only you know that. | 16:09 |
| swede_30 | jhutchins, oh, that was news to me. but can i also have cinnamon on lubuntu? i thought lubuntu was only for lxde | 16:09 |
| ldiamond | jhutchins: No, I'm asking what settings are affected by that user interface. | 16:09 |
| RixiM | jhutchins: does ubuntu archive those packages someplace? It sounds a lot like you are saying no :D | 16:09 |
| alien64 | swede_30: just install Cinnamon | 16:09 |
| jhutchins | swede_30: Yes. | 16:10 |
| swede_30 | alien64, i will. but how? =) | 16:10 |
| jhutchins | Let's see if the bot knows... | 16:10 |
| jhutchins | !cinnamon | 16:10 |
| jhutchins | Nope. | 16:10 |
| ldiamond | swede_30: you can install ubuntu-server and install cinnamon on it,. | 16:10 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: You can also install it on lubuntu. The variants like xubuntu and lubuntu are just what desktop installs by default, you can add any of the other desktops to those installs. | 16:11 |
| ldiamond | jhutchins: of course. But cleaning up LXDE from lubuntu might be quite a hassle. | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: There's no real need to. | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: You can have all of the DEs installed together. | 16:12 |
| swede_30 | i will try this. thanks for the information, everyone! | 16:12 |
| ldiamond | jhutchins: of course, but then it becomes a big mess. | 16:12 |
| alien64 | swede_30: https://www.google.com/search?q=lubuntu+install+cinnamon&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=iceweasel-a#rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&q=lubuntu+install+cinnamon+debian | 16:13 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: Not really. You just choose the desktop from the greeter and don't worry about the packages. | 16:13 |
| ldiamond | jhutchins: also the desktop environments packaged are more "intrusive", they install packages like web browsers and email clients which you can't remove on their own. | 16:13 |
| jhutchins | ldiamond: Actually, you can, and again, nothing says you have to use them. | 16:13 |
| _Trullo | hah, another bash upgrade | 16:14 |

| nobodysme | hi, i reinstalled xubuntu12.04 in the same root, because hard system problems, and i create a new user name like "user2" because the fear of losing /home/user , now it's enough to create user named "user" to reuse it without problems? | 16:33 |
| jParkton | you can generate the repos list from there | 16:33 |
| jParkton | nobodysme: whut? | 16:33 |
| nobodysme | /home/user is present and with all the original content | 16:33 |
| nobodysme | i would eliminate user2 to come back using user | 16:33 |
| jParkton | is user1 the root user? | 16:34 |
| nobodysme | jParkton, not , my preview user | 16:34 |
| nobodysme | that i create with the preview installation | 16:34 |
| jParkton | you are confusing | 16:34 |
| nobodysme | i reinstalled without formatting , to take the old /home/user | 16:34 |
| jParkton | delete and add users at will but do not remove the root users account | 16:35 |
| nobodysme | jParkton, i reinstalled withoud formatting, but i created an user named user2, only because i wasn't sure of what happens if i create in the new installation an user named user, like my old user | 16:36 |

| gusto | hi, i had just an idea how to easily get rid of the ppl who are trying to get into ssh on my virtualserver, mostly these ppl come from far away countries, but i do not want to block every country and then allow only specifics, because the ip ranges vary, i locked myself out by myself, because i had a list with the ip addresses of my provider, and then he suddenly started to use a different (new) prefix | 18:55 |
| gusto | so i just think, maybe the fastest way would be to take the /8 address ranges of RIPE | 18:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info fail2ban | gusto | 18:56 |
| ubottu | gusto: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.11-1 (trusty), package size 126 kB, installed size 616 kB | 18:56 |
| gusto | i know fail to ban, but that could be then used as a second level | 18:56 |
| gusto | but at first, when there is someone comming from outside of RIPE, meaning outside from europe, it surely is not me | 18:56 |
| gusto | for the remeaning 20% of the address space ... yes ... fail to ban would be an option | 18:57 |
| bazzzb | gusto http://www.axllent.org/docs/view/ssh-geoip/ | 18:58 |
| loic_ | hi | 18:59 |
| gusto | bazzzb: yes, that was the case to me, where i locked myself out, i used geo lists and when a new ip address range came into usage by my DSL provider, it did not find the IP range in the list and kept me out | 19:00 |
| === i4saken_ is now known as i4saken | ||
| gusto | bazzzb: that's why i said that RIPE (or whatever regional are you in) is a better idea, because these ranges are assigned only rarely | 19:00 |
| gusto | the IPv4 that i got back then was used in france (orange) and was then used by orange in slovakia | 19:01 |
| gusto | and i also seen that UPC was using austrian IP ranges in several countries, ... so because of the lack of IPv4 (they ran out) ISPs are moving ranges here and there | 19:02 |
| bazzzb | Gusto if you want a second layer do 2fa with Google authenticator. Ip based will never be reliable. | 19:02 |
| gusto | yes, thats what i said | 19:02 |
| gusto | but RIPE is reliable enough | 19:02 |
| gusto | the chance that you ran into an IP that was assigned to some different regional is next to zero | 19:03 |
| bettycla1p | We're having a problem. We started a do-release-upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 and the terminal has just frozen. (We're guessing the reason might be that we did it while logged in to gnome). How do we get out of this? | 19:04 |
| bettycla1p | A process called efibootmgr is taking up 100% of the CPU currently. | 19:05 |
| edoceo | bettycla1p: is there an alternate SSH port started? | 19:05 |
| edoceo | Generally on port 1022 , try to get in there | 19:05 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: maybe, but we can ssh in through port 22 anyway. | 19:05 |
| bettycla1p | We're afraid to reboot. | 19:05 |
| bettycla1p | Cuz that might keep the system in a broken state. | 19:06 |
| edoceo | Oh, can you inspect that process and see what it's doing? | 19:06 |
| edoceo | Or, see it's command line to see what it's trying to do? Like in /proc or from pstree or something? | 19:07 |
| AustriaBound | I have a, not so intelligent, question to ask. I've been using Linux for a couple of months now. The question is I'm looking for a single point external access to all my servers. Would the easiest way be to have a OpenSSH server that's only purpose is to be the single point of entry? So from that SSH login I could access the other machines from it? | 19:07 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: if inspecting means lsof, then the process has a whole bunch of files open in /usr/lib/x64_64-linux-gnu/libgudev-1.0.so.0.1.3 | 19:07 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: or are you referring to strace? | 19:07 |
| edoceo | strace | 19:07 |
| edoceo | Or, looking at it's command line to see what it's trying, or whos calling it. | 19:08 |

| BTJustice | sudo touch -t 201409301300 /test/*.* | 19:38 |
| BTJustice | Like that? | 19:39 |
| TTN | apparently, there's a noatime option that can be set in fstab see http://openquery.com.au/blog/hint-day-noatime-relatime-fstab | 19:39 |
| Loshki | BTJustice: yes, when you do "ls -l", do the files show the correct date? | 19:40 |
| bishakh | planning to develop an indicator applet. anyone need any specific applet? any idea what to develop? | 19:41 |

| edoceo | bettycla1p: what else is going on on that machine? | 19:50 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: well fwiw, efibootmgr is hogging an entire cpu. | 19:50 |
| edoceo | Do you have low memory? space? | 19:50 |
| BTJustice | Loshki: I am fine with Ubuntu if it would do something simple like I want it to do without becoming a programmer or a terminal junkie. | 19:51 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: no, neither low on memory nor on disk. | 19:51 |

| k1l_ | BTJustice: do you have an actual technical ubuntu issue for this support channel? | 19:58 |
| BTJustice | OerHeks: It's not a rant. It's the truth. If Linux is said to be this amazing oasis where the user can do anything they want with the operating system then why is it limited with terminal? | 19:58 |
| mastershake | hey guys so i just installed ubuntu server 14.01, and i know it doesnt boot me to a GUI, but it hasnt detected my ethernet & wifi adapters. | 19:58 |
| mastershake | can someone lend a hand? im on a dif laptop ofcourse ATM | 19:59 |
| k1l_ | BTJustice: this is not the offtopic channel. so last warning: do you got an actual ubuntu support issue? | 19:59 |
| _Jake | bastidrazor, From that article, I gather that installing ubuntu onto a system with existin xp installation - is merely a matter of popping in the ubuntu intall cd and following the prompts? The article doesn't mention much detail or address possible problems or tweaks that may need to occur. | 19:59 |
| BTJustice | kil_: Yes. Still waiting for a solution on how to freeze the date and time. | 19:59 |
| _Jake | Am I reading that right? | 19:59 |
| [SLB] | is anyone having trouble using the built-in mic with skype 4.3 | 20:00 |
| Loshki | BTJustice: empty files created by "touch" are often used to keep track of times that something happened. It's a cheap way of keeping a timestamp that doesn't disappear when the system reboots. | 20:00 |
| bettycla1p | edoceo: do you think it would be okay to kill efibootmgr? | 20:00 |
| brontosaurusrex | _Jake: do your data backups first | 20:00 |
| OerHeks | mastershake, https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 20:00 |
| bastidrazor | _Jake: yes. also it would be wise to create an unallocated partition, in windows, for the ubuntu install. Then do the ubuntu install | 20:02 |
| mastershake | OerHeks: Its a WiFi Adapter i would like to configure, will this make a difference? | 20:02 |
| BTJustice | Loshki: I understand what you are saying but it doesn't help me in wanting to see what actual files are accessed or modified. If I could simply freeze the sate and time and copy the files and folders over while all timestamps for those files are set to the frozen date a time, I could easily see when they have been accessed and modified. | 20:02 |
| Loshki | BTJustice: the terminal is one of the most powerful tools available on Unix. If you don't want to learn it, get a Mac or a windows machine. You'll be happier... | 20:02 |
| edoceo | bettycla1p: I don't really know. | 20:02 |

| bishakh | BTJustice: answer me please so that i may try to atleast understand your problem | 20:05 |
| BTJustice | This is what I am after: a program I can open, pick the date and time, click a button that in turn sets the system date and time to what I specified in the program and holds/freezes it. I then simply copy files and folders over so they are all set to the date and time I specified in said program. When done coping/pasting, I close the program to return back to the current date and time. This is exactly what the Windows' program "Clock Stopper" does. | 20:06 |

| _Jake | bastidrazor, right on. thxt again man. peace | 20:08 |
| bastidrazor | _Jake: good luck | 20:08 |
| bishakh | so its a date/time changer for files? :P | 20:08 |
| mastershake | hey guys i just installed ubuntu server and its not recognizing my wlan0 | 20:09 |
| BTJustice | Not exactly a changer. More like whenever files and folders are copied, their timestamps are the frozen date and time. | 20:09 |
| edoceo | BTJustice: while true; do date 201309261300; done | 20:09 |
| edoceo | Then CTRL+C when done copying | 20:09 |
| mastershake | im in the bash prompt and still debating weather i want the GUI or not | 20:09 |
| bishakh | BTJustice:when you fix a time, do the files folders get back that you had deleated of changed? | 20:09 |
| EriC^^ | BTJustice: thats the most ridonculous thing ive ever heard, clock freezer! | 20:09 |
| mastershake | im not a linux pro although i will be taking my LPI soon | 20:10 |
| EriC^^ | BTJustice: use touch like a sane person | 20:10 |
| bishakh | BTJustice:so it changes the "last modified " only? | 20:10 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I frankly wonder why nobody else reports these issues. People must not care about secure downloads, or there are so few people installing Ubuntu from non-Ubuntu. | 20:10 |

| bishakh | BTJustice: just focus on changing the timestamp i guess | 20:27 |
| k1l_ | levo: the updates stops because of that blocking of google. so i showed you 2 solutions. either change network/proxy settings or remove the google repo | 20:27 |

| sanjeb | <brontosaurusrex> but when I try to log in my admin the screen just shows background and cant do anything | 21:03 |
| sanjeb | <brontosaurusrex> I gguess so | 21:03 |
| bonhoeffer | [SLB]: what process do i need to kill | 21:04 |
| mastershake_e | okay so a sudo lshw -C network displays my ethernet and wireless adapters, however, it indicates a "*- network DISABLED" argument in its output | 21:04 |
| Guest86976 | where i found new server list? | 21:04 |
| bonhoeffer | or squinty, what lock file should i delete | 21:05 |
| squinty | sanjeb: might want to try ctrl alt f1 and then restart unity with: setsid unity and then try logging back into your desktop via ctrl alt f7 (use at your own discretion) | 21:07 |
| squinty | bonhoeffer: lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock see if that returns anything | 21:08 |

| bonhoeffer | sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 | 21:54 |
| daftykins | funta: WinSCP | 21:55 |
| funta | daftykins: ok and and i save it under which name? | 21:55 |
| daftykins | stick to the guide you're reading | 21:55 |
| funta | daftykins: its not mention windows option | 21:55 |
| funta | but I will google it | 21:56 |
| daftykins | oh hang on | 21:56 |
| daftykins | you want to key auth connect to a host from Windows? | 21:56 |
| funta | nope | 21:56 |
| daftykins | get PuTTY, or my favourite - KiTTY | 21:56 |
| funta | sorry yes :D | 21:56 |
| funta | crazy night | 21:56 |
| funta | I made key with putty gen just have to see in which format to save it | 21:57 |
| funta | the public key | 21:57 |
| daftykins | plenty of guides online i'm sure | 21:57 |
| funta | cool | 21:58 |
| frustrated | funta: you'd probably want to save the file to your ~/.ssh directory | 21:58 |
| funta | also hosting provider made 2 root users, root and oneprovider - I wonder is oneprovider user is used for recovery of passwd and some other useful stuff | 21:58 |
| funta | frustrated: yep but as what? | 21:58 |
| funta | key.txt nope? | 21:58 |
| funta | this is linux version from howto scp ~/.ssh/spree_rsa.pub spree@[your server's address]:~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 21:59 |
| funta | oki got it | 21:59 |
| funta | as .pub | 21:59 |
| frustrated | funta: yep | 21:59 |
| daftykins | hang on - we're not giving you support if you've got a hosting provider... contact them | 21:59 |
| funta | daftykins: its unmanaged server :D | 22:00 |
| funta | hehe | 22:00 |
| frustrated | funta: rsa if you're using RSA encryption | 22:00 |
| funta | well anyway i figured it out | 22:00 |
| funta | yes I use rsa | 22:00 |
| daftykins | i don't get what you mean by that | 22:00 |
| funta | RSA2 | 22:00 |
| bonhoeffer | i have /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, but they aren’t running | 22:01 |
| funta | frustrated: in puttygen when I save public key it saves it extensionless so I simply rename it? | 22:01 |
| frustrated | daftykins: He means they don't provide support. He pays for a machine and is responsible to do all of his own management of it. | 22:01 |
| bonhoeffer | i get the default — i forget, how do i modify to point to them | 22:01 |
| funta | frustrated: ty :) | 22:01 |
| daftykins | ok, bit annoying though | 22:01 |
| frustrated | daftykins: Yes, but cheaper. | 22:01 |
| funta | way cheaper | 22:01 |
| daftykins | you should buy a service you're capable of operating | 22:01 |
| daftykins | anyway, this is off topic. | 22:02 |
| funta | daftykins: ty for your suggestion :D | 22:02 |
| funta | and yes | 22:02 |
| frustrated | funta: is it a dedicated server? | 22:02 |
| funta | bonhoeffer: restart apache | 22:04 |
| funta | frustrated: yes and price is lovely :D | 22:04 |
| funta | anyway I am doing it now I understand how | 22:04 |
| funta | bonhoeffer: also consider using nginx imo its easy to learn | 22:05 |
| frustrated | bonhoeffer: service apache2 restart | 22:06 |
| funta | frustrated: .ssh dir should be in the ubuntu root dir? | 22:06 |
| frustrated | funta: your home dir | 22:06 |
| funta | true | 22:07 |
| frustrated | funta: i.e. ~/.ssh | 22:07 |
| funta | ty | 22:07 |
| frustrated | yw | 22:07 |
| funta | I find ubuntu really secure OS once understood how to manage it | 22:10 |
| funta | frustrated: now I copied key and server rejects it, it also does not ask for password phrase | 22:14 |
| funta | when I generated key in puttygen and enter passwd do I have to click generate again? | 22:14 |
| === frustrated is now known as apb1963 | ||
| apb1963 | funta: rejects it how? | 22:16 |
| apb1963 | funta: what's the error? | 22:17 |
| funta | server rejected key provided | 22:19 |
| funta | I guess I have to find ssh conf file and add IdentityFile ~/.ssh/spree_rsa | 22:19 |
| funta | well with my user :D | 22:19 |
| apb1963 | funta: What are you running on the server side for ssh? | 22:24 |
| funta | openssh | 22:24 |
| apb1963 | funta: did you generate the key in openssh format? | 22:24 |
| funta | apb1963: no idea yet to be honest I used Puttygen | 22:25 |
| funta | I might start 1 more linux box and follow new tutorial I found | 22:26 |
| funta | apb1963: also I could use same server to generate keys, what for I need exra server? | 22:26 |
| funta | since if provider wants to access box they got physical access anyway | 22:26 |

| l7yl4rl | hey everyone, I'm looking for some help installing related to this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it | 22:27 |
| ObrienDave | !nomodeset | 22:28 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:28 |
| l7yl4rl | yep, I've tried that and all the options listed there. | 22:28 |
| l7yl4rl | I'm getting no signal to my monitor after goign through all install options. | 22:28 |
| apb1963 | funta: There's a box that talks about a key for openssh in puttygen.... | 22:29 |
| l7yl4rl | after specifying my user name and everything. I've also verified the disk using the built-in utility and it loads as a live cd just fine. | 22:29 |
| apb1963 | funta: See if this helps: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/generating-rsa-keys-with-ssh-puttygen#Assigntoexisting | 22:30 |
| l7yl4rl | any other suggestions before d/l and trying the alternate cd? | 22:30 |
| ObrienDave | l7yl4rl, sorry, i would not know | 22:30 |
| bonhoeffer | anyone know why a2ensite can’t find a site in sites-available | 22:33 |
| bonhoeffer | anyone know why a2ensite doesn’t work with a site that is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ | 22:34 |
| bonhoeffer | i know i could copy them manually | 22:34 |
| daftykins | don't repeat yourself | 22:34 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu-server and possibly an apache channel would be more useful i'd think | 22:34 |
| bonhoeffer | sorry if i did — | 22:34 |
| bonhoeffer | agreed . . . httpd perhaps | 22:34 |
| bonhoeffer | but those guys often say ubuntu mods it so much they can’t help | 22:35 |
| jhutchins | bonhoeffer: I'm not sure what file extension a2ensite expects. Try giving it the full filename | 22:35 |
| jhutchins | bonhoeffer: I'm pretty sure the spec has changed. | 22:36 |
| bonhoeffer | will do | 22:36 |

| IRCopNET | hi | 22:49 |
| reisio | heya irc | 22:50 |
| dj_ | so I unsuccessfully installed Ubuntu alongside with Windows, so i go back to Windows and delete the partition for Ubuntu. The next time I reboot my laptop, I entered grub rescue mode and get a "no such partition" message. but since I already delete the partition, I don't think I can find any partition with Ubuntu installed, right? So then I tried to boot from USB, but it does nothing. I already changed the boot preference to boot from US | 22:50 |
| dj_ | just continues to enter grub rescue mode | 22:50 |
| reisio | dj_: msg too long | 22:50 |
| reisio | dj_: fixmbr from a windows install image, talk to #windows about it | 22:51 |
| sandokanne | hello | 22:51 |
| sandokanne | finally i got chat working on a rescue disk | 22:51 |
| dj_ | okay.. | 22:51 |
| bubbasaures | dj_, Do you have a windows recovery or install disc? | 22:51 |
| sandokanne | my ubuntu wont show login screen, it only shows ubuntu background | 22:52 |
| dj_ | nah this laptop doesn't have a CD disk | 22:52 |
| sandokanne | i need some help | 22:52 |
| bubbasaures | dj_, The media is the point iso's or on a usb? | 22:52 |
| bubbasaures | dj_, You need these to fix the windows boot. | 22:53 |
| dj_ | on a usb | 22:53 |
| dj_ | wait, point iso's? | 22:54 |
| bubbasaures | dj_, What is the end goal? | 22:54 |
| sandokanne | honestly, if ubuntu dies it dies good, i dont get this hassle on windows | 22:54 |
| sandokanne | i used bootrepair | 22:54 |
| sandokanne | qnd it gave me a crazy number | 22:54 |
| dj_ | to install ubuntu on the machine | 22:55 |
| sandokanne | is there some log i can look at when ubuntu fails | 22:55 |
| sandokanne | or the desktop fails? | 22:55 |
| sandokanne | is there a log somewhere? | 22:55 |
| bubbasaures | dj_, Than install ubuntu and let it grab grub Is this a W8 dualboot? | 22:55 |
| daftykins | sandokanne: version? | 22:56 |
| dj_ | W7 | 22:56 |
| dj_ | but the thing is the usb doesn't do anything | 22:57 |
| dj_ | it continues to enter grub rescue mode.. | 22:57 |
| squinty | dj_: take a close look at your initial computer boot splash to see if there is a hotkey to initiate Recovery Mode for windows (not linux or grub recovery). as long as you have a Windows recovery partition on your harddrive, then you should be able to restore the mbr via that method. for alternate methods (as suggested before, seek advice in a Windows related channel or forum... or google for that matter as there should be tons of r | 22:59 |
| squinty | elated information out there) | 22:59 |
| dj_ | I see | 23:00 |
| dj_ | Thank you guys!! | 23:00 |

| OerHeks | hui, unpack the file ( doubleclick in filemanager ) and read the readme | 23:16 |
| hui | ok | 23:17 |
| reisio | hui: you'd be better off with deluge | 23:21 |
| hui | thanks, I will have a look | 23:23 |

| kenw2 | Super quick question, I have a vps, the remote desktop is laggy, should I buy another core or extra RAM? I don't care what you guys say, I want a simple gui o_o | 23:28 |
| reisio | kenw2: what're you using for remote desktop? | 23:28 |
| kenw2 | reisio client or server? | 23:28 |
| k1l | vps-bundles are not meant to run a gui, so you might need to calculate with more ram and cpus cores than the cheapest bundle | 23:29 |
| reisio | kenw2: both | 23:30 |
| kenw2 | I think I may need another core, 2GB RAM should be fine I thought | 23:30 |
| Vampire-bill | need to ghost old drive to new ssd clonezilla fails every time not sure about dd could not get it to work going from 1tb to 120g 14.04 | 23:30 |
| kenw2 | reisio desktop is lubuntu and remote desktop viewer is tightvnc | 23:30 |
| kenw2 | well lubuntu isnt too laggy | 23:31 |
| kenw2 | Just enough to annoy me though | 23:31 |
| reisio | you can configure VNC's quality/performance settings | 23:31 |
| reisio | or you could try something like xrdp | 23:31 |
| kenw2 | reisio I tried the vnc compression level to fastest but no real change | 23:34 |
| kenw2 | I'm just kinda worried that I'll buy more RAM and not have it change the lag | 23:35 |

| funta | hey I rund useradd -G groupname user and it said user already exist | 23:45 |
| funta | but user is yet to be in the group | 23:45 |
| funta | how do I fix it? | 23:45 |
| rww | log out and back in | 23:46 |
| spagett | Use usermod | 23:46 |
| collizion | funta: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/usermod.8.html | 23:46 |
| funta | rww ok when I use su does it count? | 23:46 |
| rww | no | 23:46 |
| spagett | rww is wrong | 23:47 |
| rww | unsurprising. | 23:47 |
| collizion | funta: youre trying to modify an existing user (usermod) not add a new one (useradd). | 23:47 |
| spagett | Useradd adds a new user, usermod doesn't. | 23:47 |
| funta | collizion: i want to add user to new group | 23:53 |
| collizion | funta: did you already create the group? | 23:54 |
| funta | yes | 23:54 |
| funta | and I am using http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ | 23:54 |
| collizion | funta: that only works if the user you're adding to the group doesn't exist yet | 23:54 |
| collizion | funta: if the user already exists, that wont work | 23:54 |
| funta | oki so usermod then? | 23:55 |
| funta | -a -G | 23:55 |
| collizion | Yup. | 23:55 |

| Flannel | collizion, funta: No, you should use `adduser USER GROUP` it's much safer than useradd (less likelyhood of erasing all of your groups) | 23:59 |
| reisio | or you could pay me $5 to do it | 23:59 |
| funta | eee? | 23:59 |
| reisio | even less likely | 23:59 |
