| AlexQ | daftykins: Can I move that recovery partition to the end of my HDD, to have the fastest space for system files then :D? Can I have a primary partition after an extended partition? Or maybe it doesn't have to be on a primary partition at all? | 00:11 |

| Krixvar | hey all, having some issues getting my routing table to save over reboots.. gotta run the same command every time haha | 00:19 |
| Krixvar | is there something I have to run after the route command to get it to save? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | what are you adding? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | shouldn't be necessary to add anything at all | 00:19 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Okay, thank's very much. Maybe I'll try to Google for MS solution to rebuild the partition table on Windows side (back to basic), if that doesn't work maybe then try to remove D: drive and leave 3 primary partitions and then try if that back to basic option is available, if not, maybe I'll just purge the whole HDD then. | 00:22 |

| axscode | hi guys i have a huge list of images about 7 gigs, and some of the filename has comma on it like this "123412341,12312321,12.jpg" and i would like to rename them all into "123412341_12312321_12.jpg" from comma to underscore, is there a one liner command than can walk through each file in the directory. | 00:23 |
| Krixvar | you mean what am I adding with route? | 00:23 |
| daftykins | Krixvar: ...yes... | 00:23 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: If I decide to purge the whole partition table, should I re-create the partition table using Xubuntu, or Windows? And what about those UFI and MSDOS formats? | 00:23 |
| BarnacleBob | axscode, man rename | 00:24 |
| Krixvar | daftykins: sorry couldn't tell if it was another conversation -- I have to add my router every time... I have no idea how but it was just on a few days ago and my internet connection dropped | 00:24 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: i would nuke the disk from xubuntu live session, install Windows (and pick a partition size smaller than the HDD) then install xubuntu after | 00:24 |
| Krixvar | a friend helped me find a command but it doesn't persist | 00:24 |
| daftykins | Krixvar: is your system set to get an IP via DHCP or static? | 00:25 |
| Krixvar | daftykins: dhcp | 00:25 |
| Krixvar | daftykins: I have to run sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (router ip) every boot | 00:25 |
| daftykins | Krixvar: doesn't sound like it's setup quite right, have you got an install that's been upgraded between releases in the past? | 00:26 |
| axscode | BarnacleBob: ah so rename 'y/,/_/' * | 00:26 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Okay, thanks. Going to bed lol, goodnight to those in more compatible timezones! :D | 00:26 |
| daftykins | Krixvar: yeah i know what you're running :) but it should be totally unnecessary | 00:26 |
| Krixvar | daftykins: gotcha, and yeah I know, its been working fine for months though and it just dropped when I was writing an email a few days ago... I thought our isp had dropped our connection or something because I wasn't doing anything remotely system-breaking :P | 00:27 |

| daftykins | hfp: hold left shift as the system is about to read from the disk to boot, then try picking an older kernel | 00:28 |
| usr13 | hfp: could be missing initrd.gz | 00:28 |
| might_get_loud | axscode: you can use python | 00:29 |
| daftykins | Krixvar: so, is it an upgraded install or not? | 00:30 |

| usr13 | daftykins: Oh, didn't see it. | 00:58 |

| hfp | How can I get into /boot and delete the 20 unused older kernels? | 00:58 |
| hfp | Is the /boot once I'm chrooted the /boot on the disk? or is it the one from the LiveCD? | 00:59 |
| tontre | I've tried a few clean installs with different boot sources with no luck | 00:59 |
| usr13 | hfp: is your boot partition sda1? | 01:00 |
| hfp | usr13: Yes | 01:00 |
| usr13 | hfp: Just looking at the output of parted and looks like your main filesystem is on sda5 and you have boot on sda1 Right? | 01:00 |
| tontre | let me know if there is any information I could provide that would help solve the issue | 01:01 |
| daftykins | usr13: sda5 being 4GB is swap no doubt | 01:01 |
| usr13 | hfp: You don't have swap? | 01:01 |
| usr13 | daftykins: Oh ok. Yea I see. | 01:01 |
| daftykins | i was a tad surprised parted didn't label it as such, in fact | 01:02 |
| hfp | usr13: According to `sudo fdisk -l`, sda1 is the main volume, sda2 is extended and sda5 is swap | 01:02 |
| usr13 | hfp: daftykins Sorry, was a bit distracted. | 01:02 |
| daftykins | no problemo | 01:02 |
| usr13 | hfp: Yea, your / is on sda1 | 01:02 |
| usr13 | hfp: (root partition) | 01:02 |
| usr13 | Ok guys I'm probably going to have to leave for a while, have a few things to take car of right quick. | 01:03 |
| hfp | usr13: Right, so if I `cd /boot`, that will be the /boot that's on sda, not the /boot of the LiveCD | 01:03 |
| usr13 | hfp: Yea after you've chrooted to the filesystem. | 01:03 |
| hfp | usr13: Ok | 01:04 |
| hfp | I can't `apt-get` or ping once I'm chrooted. It seems like I have no network from within the chroot | 01:06 |
| reisio | maybe you haven't | 01:06 |
| hfp | reisio: Was that for me? | 01:06 |
| Wulframn | hfp: yes. Why would you assume your chroot has network access if you can't ping? | 01:08 |

| arthurfiggis | Hello :) I'd imagine this is getting to be a popular question lately...but is there any way that I could completely replace bash as the shell for both my user account as well as all others created in the future? I'm not sure what I'd use in its place so any recommendations there would be helpful as well! | 01:14 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: that's a very unnecessary over reaction | 01:15 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: i'm thinking of this only as a temporary measure, i run a server that i provide shell accounts for and...well, until the holes aren't so big that you could drive a truck through them, i'd like to at least switch to something a bit less risky :) not on a permanent basis of course, i'm sure the issues will be fixed swiftly enough! | 01:16 |
| pbx | sodluv, no, go away. | 01:16 |
| Ben64 | arthurfiggis: pretty sure they're already all fixed | 01:17 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: well, /etc/passwd contains users and their respective default shells at the end of the line... that would be one way to change en masse | 01:17 |
| reisio | arthurfiggis: the largest potential exploit had to do with web servers | 01:17 |
| reisio | bash as it relates to ssh'ing is basically exactly the same | 01:18 |
| reisio | if you can beat ssh, you win, always | 01:18 |
| arthurfiggis | Ben64: hmm...that may be the case, although it seems that opinions are divided on the matter...some places i've read up on it suggest that there are still issues, but I'm not exactly an expert on shells I'll admit :) I'll have to do some more checking, thanks | 01:19 |
| arthurfiggis | reisio: that was the other one i was concerned about, the same server runs nginx...and obviously people are using ssh to connect to it, telnet is a bit too old fashioned for some people ;) | 01:20 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: ahh, i wasn't sure if manually editing /etc/passwd might cause more problems than it would solve...that might be a good way of temporarily flipping a switch toward csh or zsh maybe, thanks for the suggestion! | 01:21 |
| daftykins | np, i still disagree with the action though, fwiw :) | 01:21 |
| reisio | arthurfiggis: heh | 01:22 |
| reisio | arthurfiggis: you probably already have dash as the default shell | 01:22 |
| reisio | arthurfiggis: you should be fine | 01:22 |
| reisio | utterly so if you keep up-to-date | 01:22 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: well no problem having a disagreement with me, i could very well be wrong after all :) out of curiousity though, considering the recent news surrounding the potential exploits...why do you consider it a bad decision to temporarily switch? not trying to be grating or anything, just curious | 01:23 |
| hfp | daftykins: Still the same issue after the chroot, deleting some older kernels and running `apt-get install linux-image-generic` | 01:23 |
| arthurfiggis | reisio: ahh, well i'm sure things are probably fine in that case...it's an up to date virtual server, so even if there were still vulnerabilities i can roll it back to a daily image in about 10 minutes :) | 01:24 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: eh it's not based on any technical understanding, just i think the patch status is good enough if not complete now - and so action is just time wasting | 01:24 |
| daftykins | hfp: yeah none of those actions i would have done and none affect your issue | 01:24 |
| reisio | arthurfiggis: :) | 01:24 |
| daftykins | hfp: what's the latest kernel version? 3.2.0? | 01:25 |
| hfp | daftykins: 3.2.0 got installed during the chroot, otherwise I have various 3.5.0 and 3.13.0 assortments | 01:26 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: well that's a good point...my own understanding of it is limited to the original "exploit" and that's definitely been fixed, but i figured maybe just to be safe until the dust has settled a bit :) | 01:26 |

| ubottu | GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 01:52 |
| lakitu | i forget shero, but i think it was pretty straightforward. just install compizconfig-settings-manager & compiz, & then open the compiz settings manager & find the bindings | 01:53 |
| lakitu | probably just like a line of shell | 01:53 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | https://bpaste.net/show/79877ee12364 | 01:53 |
| lakitu | find the key bindings* | 01:54 |
| shero | lakitu ok ya I just made the key binding for it. Now to just figure out what command line to use | 01:54 |
| sparr | apt-get and software center on my ubuntu live environment can't find photorec or testdisk. Do I need to add some package sources? | 01:54 |
| shero | lakitu how do I know command lines for actions? | 01:54 |

| lakitu | if you want to e.g. show desktop, then i think there's a different setting somewhere in compiz where you can assign something like Show Desktop to the super+d or whatever | 01:55 |
| === Sachiru is now known as Guest6649 | ||
| shero | lakitu so like if I want to show desktop action, how do I find that command | 01:55 |
| === tempnick is now known as Sachiru | ||
| lakitu | shero: better off using compiz's premade thing for that - just find show desktop, i think it's in there | 01:55 |
| lakitu | use the search box for desktop | 01:55 |
| lakitu | if you want super+e to be your filemanager, probably just need something like "gksudo dolphin" if it's dolphin | 01:56 |
| lakitu | "gksudo nautilus" etc | 01:56 |
| lakitu | if it's nautilus | 01:56 |
| shero | ohh | 01:56 |
| lakitu | i'm a little in over my head, maybe someone else can help you the rest of the way | 01:56 |

| lakitu | well | 01:57 |
| lakitu | the program IS your file manager | 01:57 |
| lakitu | dolphin/nautilus/whatever | 01:57 |
| lakitu | compiz will launch it when you use the key combination you bound the command to | 01:57 |
| shero | lakitu ubuntu has a shortcuts in the keyboard applet | 01:59 |

| Aaraigathor | How do I set Ubuntu 14.04 to boot into "degraded" automatically if a drive fails in RAID1? | 02:26 |
| Bashing-om | TyrfingMjolnir: cfhowlett // sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.2.0-{37,38,39,40,41,43,44,45,48,51,53,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,63,64,65,67}-generic , next is to remove those few headers that remain on the system. | 02:27 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, That should be the default. Except the BIOS often only boots the first drive. So make sure the first drive is the good one. Or don't reboot. | 02:29 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | Bashing-om: I just did apt-get purge 37-53 | 02:29 |
| gaffey | hello | 02:31 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : Isn't there some option to set 'bootdegraded=true' ? I am using ssh to connect remotely and I need the system to boot into degraded in a drive fails, not just drop into a initramfs console | 02:33 |
| allen | evening folks, anyone had this error before, i'm running a game through Play On Linux, the error is. This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" | 02:33 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, If the machine is running and the system is up, but has a failed device, my best advice is NOT to reboot until you are prepared to replace the device. | 02:34 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, And replace the failed device as soon as possible. Before the remaining one fails. | 02:34 |
| rwp | Because if the failed device is the first one the BIOS would boot then it won't boot unattended. | 02:34 |
| rwp | In that case it would be necessary to manually reconfigure the drives so that the good drive is the boot device. | 02:35 |
| rwp | And you can't do that remotely. | 02:35 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Background needed: Are you using LVM? | 02:35 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : Both the drives are bootable independantly of each other | 02:35 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp: No, not using LV< | 02:35 |
| Aaraigathor | *LVM | 02:35 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, I have seen systems with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and sda fails and the BIOS will not boot /dev/sdb because the other drive is still there, but failing. | 02:36 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Does your /proc/cmdline show a UUID for the root file system? | 02:37 |
| rwp | cat /proc/cmdline | 02:37 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp: I have tested each drive independently and they boot. I have not tried it with a primary dead drive still attached to see if it would boot. Hope it doesn't come to that. | 02:37 |
| rwp | Hope not too. But that is a motherboard firmware (not always BIOS these days) dependent issue. | 02:38 |
| rwp | Basically the initramfs has a copy of /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf UUIDs for each of the /dev/md* devices. | 02:38 |
| Aaraigathor | Yes, it shows a UUID | 02:38 |
| rwp | At boot the initramfs will try to create all of those /dev/md* devices from that table that is cached into the initrd. | 02:38 |
| Bashing-om | TyrfingMjolnir: Why not all those old kernels ? // and why booting from such and old kernel ? | 02:38 |
| rwp | Since you are not using LVM I expect one of those file system UUIDs will map to one of the /dev/md* file systems. | 02:39 |
| rwp | It will try to assemble the raid. It will then try to use that root file system. | 02:39 |
| rwp | It fails to boot if it can't do those things. | 02:39 |
| hfp | Just curious, why does Ubuntu keep a zillion old kernels in /boot ? Is there a way to autoremove say anything else than the 5 last? | 02:39 |
| rwp | hfp, those old kernels are just lint. It is housekeeping to clean them up. But nothing does it automatically. Must do it manually. | 02:40 |
| rwp | hfp, Because if it were done automatically then assuredly someone would come back with "Hey! I was using that." | 02:40 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Just fyi but RHEL/CentOS does the raid assembly completely differently. | 02:41 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | arthurfiggis: sorry for delay, something came up unexpectedly. Thank you. I can look up how to do that. | 02:41 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, No transfer of knowledge possible. | 02:41 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : My worry is that I will be hours away from the system and all of a sudden a drive might fail but I will still need to be able to access that system with the single drive in there | 02:41 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | Bashing-om: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l | 02:41 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | Bashing-om: How do I install a newer kernel? | 02:42 |
| zenlike | eeee, the xkbmodmap command you gave me worked in ~/.profile | 02:42 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, If you have your system swap on raid1 too then the system will keep running okay. Just as long as you don't reboot it. | 02:42 |
| zenlike | :) good lookin' out | 02:42 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | Using apt that is | 02:42 |
| hfp | rwp: Right, so every now and then I have to rm old kernels | 02:42 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | I can download and compile the kernel, but would like to keep the packaging system working | 02:42 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : The swap is on raid1. How would I know if a drive has failed though without doing cat /proc/mdstat everytime I ssh into it though? | 02:43 |
| rwp | hfp, Right. At whatever time you feel you should clean then you can clean older kernels out. I always leave a couple for booting back to if needed. | 02:43 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | apt-get install linux-image-3.8.0-44-generic ? | 02:43 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, The mdadm daemon will notify you, usually by email. Let me double check how that config works. You have email out from the server to you? | 02:44 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | Bashing-om: linux-image-3.13.0-36-generic appears to be latest | 02:44 |
| Bashing-om | TyrfingMjolnir: Once you have the operating head room. I would -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade . The latest kernel will be installed . as to what you will boot when you re-boot, should be that ltest kernel, but with you presently booting such an old kernel I have to wonder if there is a system problem. | 02:45 |
| jkhl | is there are convenient way to decrypt, open, save and encrypt files on a USB pen drive? | 02:45 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : I ran dpkg-reconfigure mdadm and set the email notification to my email. I'm not sure how that'll work though, I don't have a mail server or anything set up | 02:45 |
| jkhl | which is also secure | 02:45 |
| arthurfiggis | guest-lkajdf_431: oh no problem, hopefully that part won't be too difficult...they seem to explain it there but i've never used that particular version of python from a ppa...so i'd say their instructions are probably the best in that case! just a minor alteration to the script | 02:45 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | sadly, I don't know what the gateway should be | 02:47 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, AFAICS mdadm daemon sends email by default, no config changes needed. See the man page. Search for email. | 02:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I though I could set it to dhcp and write down the gateway it gives | 02:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | but I have no idea how | 02:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | how to see what gateway I mean | 02:48 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | MDTech-us_MAN: Are you connected to an IPv6 source? | 02:48 |
| rwp | TyrfingMjolnir, Please pastebin your interfaces that you have and I will peek at it. | 02:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | what do you mean? | 02:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I do have IPv6 internet access | 02:49 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | MDTech-us_MAN: Is there IPv6 at the other end of the cable? | 02:49 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | yes | 02:49 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : So if I enter my email into the config, it'll just send it without any questions? Do I not need some type of email server setup? | 02:49 |
| Bashing-om | MDTech-us_MAN: does not -> route -n <- give you your gateway IP ? | 02:49 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, It will send to root by default. You should definitely have root email set to mail to you. Because there will be a lot of other notifications that way too. | 02:50 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | MDTech-us_MAN: ifconfig interface [inet6] dhcp start | 02:50 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | route -n only gives IPv4 gateway | 02:50 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, If you haven't been reading it there will be a lot of noise. But after you take care of the noise things will be just what you need. | 02:50 |
| Bashing-om | MDTech-us_MAN: ahhh .. :( | 02:50 |
| TyrfingMjolnir | ifconfig interface [inet6] dhcp inform | 02:50 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | what is [inet6] supposed to mean | 02:51 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | do I have to put my nic there? | 02:51 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : I had changed the email target to my email address instead of the default root. Should I be changing that back then? | 02:51 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | or did you mean it literally | 02:51 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Your best thing is to set up a test / victim machine on a work bench and set up raid1 for testing. Then test it. Pull a drive. Observe the mail going out. Play. Experiement on the victim machine. | 02:51 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Doesn't really matter. But you should get the root email. And if so then you don't need to change the mdadm (or anything else) specifically. | 02:52 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | if I do it literally, I get "[inet6]: Unknown server error" | 02:52 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : How do I access root email? | 02:52 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | ok | 02:52 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I think I understand what you ment | 02:53 |

| rwp | Aaraigathor, uhmm... Deep question. I use "mutt". It is a text mode mailer. But if you forward the email to your main email account then you can read it as you would normally. | 02:53 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, The question of mailers can go on for hours. | 02:54 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, But this tells me that you probably don't have your server set up to forward mail either. | 02:54 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | any ideas TyrfingMjolnir | 02:54 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Probably more than I can help with at this moment. But others can. Or on the mailing list. | 02:54 |
| Aaraigathor | rwp : Unfortunately I haven't looked into all of this. I'm not the most experienced. The server is being built as a minecraft server for a bunch of locals who asked me and I said why not. I've made a few basic servers before but never dealt with details like mail or mail forwarding. Is there no easy way to have the server send me an email directly to my main email account? Or is that an in-depth process | 02:57 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Usually you have an MTA (mail transport agent) installed such as Postfix. | 02:58 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Postfix will need reasonable configuration for the hostname. As in, don't make up a domain name for it. | 02:58 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Then it will be set to exchange email from that server to the outside world. | 02:59 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Basically install Postfix and try to send email from the local machine to your main email address. | 02:59 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Maybe you will be lucky and everything will work out great! | 02:59 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, To send email just a very simple test works. Such as "echo test | mailx -s test you@example.com" | 03:00 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Of course that assumes that mailx is installed. An old command line mailer. Simple for testing. Don't use it to read email. But for got simple tests like the above. | 03:00 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, If that works then you know the system (aka mdadm) can send you mail in the event of a raid problem. | 03:01 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, I think there is even a way for mdadm to send test messages. | 03:01 |
| Haugli92 | Hi, does anyone know how to just visit a page on Ubuntu server ? Page requires htaccess user/pass? | 03:01 |
| rwp | Aaraigathor, Without an MTA installed the email will simply sit on the local machine in /var/mail/root and you would have to log in to read it. Not as nice. | 03:01 |
| Aaraigathor | neither mailx or postfix are currently installed. Wouldn't be difficult to install though. I'll have to look into setting it up. So, forgetting this idea for now, if I have it sent to root, how can I access that? | 03:02 |
| rwp | Log in as root. Depending upon things you should see a mail file sitting in /var/mail/root or possibly /var/mail/nobody. | 03:02 |
| rwp | Postfix for example delivers root mail not as the root (uid=0) user but as the nobody (uid=-2) user by default. Security and all of that. | 03:03 |
| rwp | If it is /var/mail/root then simply "mutt". If /var/mail/nobody then "mutt -f /var/mail/nobody". | 03:03 |
| rwp | You can get out of mutt with 'q'. | 03:03 |
| rwp | All else you can read the on screen menus and other help for it. | 03:03 |
| rwp | Press F1 for the manual. | 03:04 |
| rwp | But remember that mailers like mutt are like a favorite editor. Everyone has their favorite. | 03:04 |

| Aaraigathor | I do not login as root though. Tbh I don't even know how to. Ubuntu picks some random password for root and doesn't tell you afaik | 03:06 |

| guest-lkajdf_431 | I see stuff on the internet about sharing files between computers on a network but this is users on the same box | 04:17 |
| somsip | guest-lkajdf_431: add them to the same group, and make the group sticky on the folder | 04:18 |
| aarcane | Does the Ubuntu Project provide a download that mixes the best of both a livecd (fully functional live environment) and netinstall (none of the overhead of a full ondisk package repository) ? | 04:18 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | somsip: Cool, can do that. What about a location for the folder? I recall trying to do this once in the past and ran into probs bc I was locating it inside the home folder or something. | 04:19 |
| somsip | aarcane: best? You seem to want a live install that is very small. Is that right? There is only the liveDVD or an install iso | 04:19 |
| somsip | guest-lkajdf_431: you'd need to set permissions correctly if you wanted inside a directory that was not accessible to the group | 04:20 |

| aarcane | somsip, The idea I'm thinking about is the general fact that the distro is generally updated significantly after the initial iso download. I want a disk that I can stick in to do hardware testing, or perform an install from, but that doesn't include the whole install repository, doubly so since updates that occur after install are often upwards of 200-300MB, or a third of the original ISO size | 04:21 |
| aarcane | somsip, I think it would reduce overall bandwidth usage for the normal usecase of "download iso once, install one-two times at most" | 04:22 |
| somsip | aarcane: Maybe you will need to roll your own https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 04:22 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | somsip: I'd rather locate it outside /home but I know some system folders have funny perms too that I don't want to change/ mess with (situations where the parent dir has tighter perms gets weird?). What do you think would be normal? /usr/share or something? | 04:23 |
| aarcane | somsip, Meh, no point for me to just roll my own. One user isn't a lot of bandwidth compared to all the users who download the iso to do the install once. | 04:23 |
| somsip | guest-lkajdf_431: if you want to try to stick to a standard, /srv probably. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 04:25 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | its cool man. I gotta run anyhow. Thx n' peace | 04:25 |
| somsip | aarcane: well you say "I want a disk" then say there is "no point for me to roll my own". I don't think I can help you | 04:26 |
| aarcane | somsip, Replace "I want a disk" with "What I was hoping would be available now or in the future because it seems like a generally good idea is..." | 04:27 |

| garnus | how to install ubuntu on btrfs partition scheme(no gpt or mbr)? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | I don't think btrfs is a selectable install option yet | 07:46 |
| garnus | ikonia: any alternative methods? | 07:47 |
| ikonia | none that I'd recommend if you're asking how to do it | 07:47 |
| garnus | somthing like archlinux install? | 07:47 |
| ikonia | archlinux is nothing to do with ubuntu | 07:47 |
| ikonia | so not sure why an archlinux install would be relevant to ubuntu | 07:47 |

| jishjish | hi all, i'm interested in terminal commands to get a picture of every file on my had drive (similar to directory printer programs). Can I just navigate to the root of a drive and say find . -type f with no other parameters? Then i'm not sure how to then pipe that list to somewhere to get just the extensions so I can count i.e. how many .mp3 I have | 08:31 |
| jishjish | etc. | 08:31 |
| vahid | hi. i have a problem with ubuntu 14.04: MY keyboard press down work with problem . that I should press hardly to type.but the keyboard work with no problem in the guest user. any one can help me? | 08:32 |
| somsip | jishjish: find . -name "*.mp3" -type f | wc -l | 08:33 |
| somsip | jishjish: is your starter | 08:33 |
| jishjish | thanks somsip, and if I didn't know what file type I wanted to count, I.e I wanted to explore what various file types were on my drive --> how can I modify it to do that? | 08:34 |
| somsip | jishjish: ls -lR . will give you a recursive list. A very long recursive list probably | 08:34 |
| iptable | jishjish, find / -type f |while read filename; do extension="${filename##*.}"; echo ${extension}; done |sort |uniq -c |sort -n | 08:35 |
| iptable | jishjish, this will go through ALL the files, print their extensions only, then sort them, count them and sort by count occurances. you will only get output once it is finished due to the sort algorythm obviously | 08:37 |
| somsip | iptable: nifty :) | 08:38 |
| iptable | jishjish, note that extensions are not something you should treat as useful in linux. file extensions is more of a windows thing | 08:38 |
| iptable | somsip, why thank you :) | 08:38 |
| iptable | jishjish, on linux files, you would be better off using the "file" command (as in `file /some/where/filename`) and sorting by output of the file type identification. | 08:39 |

Is there a way of getting a list of every command that can be run on a linux system? For example when I type help I know there are mor | 08:46 |

| jishjish | thanks Laban | 08:50 |
| Laban | Or http://images.linoxide.com/linux-cheat-sheet.pdf | 08:51 |
| iptable | jishjish, no | 08:52 |
| === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga | ||
| iptable | jishjish, pretty much every command can be piped into another command. | 08:53 |
| iptable | jishjish, most command are externals and will be either in /bin, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (or sbin for root-only commands) | 08:53 |
| iptable | jishjish, and then lookup bash scripting to see the internal bash commands and the way these should be written | 08:54 |
| eeee | jishjish: http://www.tldp.org/guides.html | 08:54 |
| eeee | jishjish: check out the command line tools summary | 08:54 |
| sgen | when I run apt-get update I get the error: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Im assuming the maintainter of the repos hasnt updated them to reflect the new version of ubuntu. How can I accept the old version of his repos? | 08:54 |
| iptable | jishjish, to find out what command and how: man pages! man find. man while. man sort. in man pages press slash ( / ) and your search term and press enter. then press n for next search result. | 08:55 |
| somsip | jishjish: in short - man man, man | 08:55 |
| jishjish | iptable:im good with manpages and tutorials once I know the command my problem is finding the name in the first place. I'm not sure what you mean by sbin in etc directories? and commands being external. cAn you elaborate for a newbie? | 08:56 |
| eeee | jishjish: ls /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin | 08:57 |
| eeee | if you type that you'll get a list of most of the commands of the system | 08:57 |
| eeee | jishjish: if you need to search for a command, apropos is useful | 08:57 |
| jishjish | eeee: are the "terminal commands of the system" stored as files in those directories you listed? | 08:57 |
| iptable | eeee, you chased me to it :D | 08:57 |
| iptable | jishjish, yes | 08:58 |
| eeee | jishjish: yes, if you type echo $PATH , you'll see what the system uses every time you type a binary name | 08:58 |
| iptable | jishjish, they are not terminal commands. they are small tools that you use. small binary files. find, sed, sort, uniq - every one I mentioned apart from the "while loop" is an external binary | 08:58 |
| iptable | jishjish, while loop is a bash scripting thingie. lookup "bash scripting" on google for more info. Or "bash while loop", "bash string operations", "bash for loop" etc | 08:59 |
| jishjish | iptable: ah I see they are not commands, they are programs I am running when I type commands like "find" is that right? and bash is another language in addition to these little binary pograms I cal "terminal commands" and both the bash and the binaries can be used together in scripts? | 09:00 |
| iptable | jishjish, find, ls, locate, cat - all external binaries you can find in your /bin /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin | 09:00 |
| iptable | jishjish, correct :) | 09:00 |
| eeee | bash is what is doing the magic, between the commands, like redirecting stuff | 09:00 |
| eeee | it's a shell | 09:00 |
| iptable | jishjish, you call a command, pipe it to another command, pipe it to some bash loop if needed ,pipe it to another command and pipe it to output file or leave that bit out to pipe to screen | 09:01 |
| jishjish | iptable: lastly if I didn't know (you already told me - thank you) that binaries were in sbin etc directories, is there a way I could search for them, since linux doesn't work using file extensions? | 09:01 |
| iptable | jishjish, search for the binaries? | 09:01 |
| iptable | jishjish, ls /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin | 09:01 |
| jishjish | yeah? | 09:01 |
| eeee | jishjish: apropos searches for strings in the binary's description | 09:01 |
| iptable | jishjish, and sbin instead of bin to see root-only-need-privileges binaries | 09:02 |
| iptable | jishjish, to find out what type a file is, use the "file" command (yes, it's another binary haha). | 09:02 |
| iptable | jishjish, type in: file /bin/bash | 09:02 |
| eeee | jishjish: if you type apropos rename , you'll get a list of commands relating to renaming files | 09:02 |
| iptable | jishjish, or file /etc/hostname | 09:02 |
| iptable | eeee, that rocks. didn't know about apropos. we live and learn | 09:03 |
| jishjish | ah ok what if I wanted to search for and find all the binary's rather than only ones relating to a particular search term? "terminal programs themselves" Can I type something like find / "all binary progframs"? | 09:03 |
| iptable | jishjish, the only binary programs you can run where you do not need /full/path/to/it are in /bin /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. otherwise called in your $PATH. echo $PATH to see your paths | 09:04 |
| somsip | jishjish: use what you're being told. man find then /executable to find your answer | 09:04 |
| iptable | jishjish, all other binaries would need a full path. also libraries (.so, windows equivalent would be loosely called .dll) are also executable quite often, but you can't run them yourself :D So stick to your $PATH | 09:05 |
| jishjish | iptable who runs the binaries if I don't? or can I just run anything so long as I am root? | 09:06 |
| iptable | jishjish, that's how linux is organised. /bin - binaries (hence the name), /etc - config files, /var - variable files, /usr - user stuff (has /usr/bin /usr/etc etc). /usr/local has stuff you compiled yourself or written yourself (or should...) | 09:06 |
| iptable | jishjish, libraries are loaded as a dependency by binaries, you do not run them. they have no execution point, just a set of functions. | 09:06 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest88576 | ||
| iptable | jishjish, so, as stated, all the stuff you install and want to run as binaries by default in linux will be in /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin. you have to go very custom to find your application installed elsewhere. it will probably be some proprietary, self contained application. usually in /opt. like /opt/zimbra if you install zimbra | 09:08 |
| jishjish | oh great. thanks guys. | 09:10 |
| iptable | jishjish, best approach is LOGIC. Logically you wanted: 1. find all files, 2. get only their extensions, 3. sort by name, 4. get count of each name. | 09:10 |
| iptable | jishjish, then you google for each thing separately and join using pipe ;) No magic involved. google "find all files linux". google "bash get file extension". google "get unique count of file linux". ;) | 09:10 |
| jishjish | iptable: thanks i'll logically break them into parts next time. lastly I would like to have two versions of python installed on my machine 3.3 which I normally use, and 2.7 for a specific gmail script written by https://github.com/charlierguo/gmail. but I don't know the best way to run two instances of python side by side using linux? and a gui for | 09:13 |
| jishjish | writing it. | 09:13 |
| iptable | uhm, no sure what the best method would be, but in ubuntu yout can install both versions using the repos | 09:14 |
| eeee | jishjish: i think you already have 2.7? | 09:15 |
| iptable | then in /usr/bin you will have python3.3 and python2.7 binaries. you have to modify any pythong scripts to not call for #!/usr/bin/python (first line of script) but for #!/usr/bin/python2.7. /usr/bin/python will always point to latest version unless you manually change that | 09:15 |
| iptable | jishjish, if you want a GUI to write scripts, try gedit, gvim, or something more advanced like eclipse | 09:16 |
| bcvery1 | jishjish, consider using python-virtualenv if you're going to be messing around with multiple versions of python | 09:16 |
| jishjish | bcvery1: can I just run #!/usr/bin/python2.7.? | 09:17 |
| jishjish | I Mean put that at the front of my script? | 09:17 |
| eeee | jishjish: type file `which python` | 09:18 |
| bcvery1 | If you put that at the front of the script is will run using that version of python, but there are dependency advantages to creating osolated virtual environments, especially if you're going to be distibuting the program | 09:18 |
| susundbe1g | iptable, jishjish : at least on my system (ubuntu 14.04 ) python points to 2.7 and python3 to python 3.4 | 09:18 |
| bcvery1 | *isolated | 09:18 |
| jishjish | susundbe1g: so all I would have to do then is call the script with python instaed of python3 in terminal? | 09:19 |
| susundbe1g | jishjish: that depends on your setup, see what 'python --version' outputs | 09:20 |
| jishjish | bcvery1: for now I just want 2.7 to write one script to sort through my 8K emails. | 09:20 |
| eeee | jishjish: yes, you can confirm with file `which python` | 09:20 |

| asher1 | i need to ubuntu | 09:32 |
| iptable | asher1, are you seriously asking that | 09:32 |
| cappe | do I have to make a new user to encypt the homedirectory? | 09:32 |
| asher1 | this my first time i install this | 09:32 |
| iptable | asher1, first link I gave you IS for ubuntu. | 09:32 |
| cfhowlett | !encrypt | cappe, no | 09:32 |
| ubottu | cappe, no: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 09:32 |
| somsip | cappe: we see a large number of 'help, I've encrypted my home dir and now I can't get it back' requests here that do not end well. Fair warning... | 09:33 |
| iptable | asher1, and then you can add "ubuntu" at the end of google search term (second link I sent you) if you don't like my tutorial | 09:33 |
| iptable | asher1, https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=postfix+with+virtual+users+ubuntu | 09:33 |
| iptable | cappe, please follow the tutorial you have been sent | 09:33 |

| melottimassi | grazie ubottu era solo un esperimento con un altro utente ciao! | 09:37 |
| iptable | blackyboy, if you try to configure and get any specific errors when it doesn't work, that is when "support" kicks in. you tell us what error you see and what doesn't work and we try to help you fix your config | 09:37 |
| iptable | cappe, refer to links provided | 09:37 |
| cappe | ok | 09:37 |
| iptable | cappe, first link I sent you describes how to check it. | 09:37 |
| blackyboy | iptable: ok ill and i need all three in one DNS, DHCP, TFTP | 09:38 |
| iptable | cappe, alternatively reinstall your system and tick "encrypt my home directory" during install | 09:38 |
| blackyboy | iptable: let me try and ill be back | 09:38 |
| iptable | ok | 09:38 |

| cfhowlett | now if we just get back on topic ... ubuntu! | 09:43 |
| iptable | ubuntu-powered coffee machine would be nice actually. | 09:43 |
| iptable | so I could tell it to make me a coffee from upstairs | 09:43 |
| iptable | satureja, you do realise what phishing is, right? | 09:44 |
| satureja | iptable: you are trying to hack Amazon ubuntu channel user credit card number by sending phishing links to the channel with weird call-to-action | 09:44 |
| eeee | interesting | 09:44 |
| iptable | satureja, uhm, no. that's an amazon.co.uk website link in case you didn't notice. so far you are not making any friends on the channel. and now you are also chowing you cannot see the difference between an amazon link and a phishing link | 09:45 |
| eeee | yeah that's true | 09:45 |
| eeee | nobody's falling for that | 09:45 |
| iptable | what? | 09:45 |
| cappe | can't find a /quit | 09:45 |
| eeee | unless he's fiddled with my dns ? | 09:45 |
| iptable | it's an amazon search term. are you all real or lost your minds? | 09:46 |
| iptable | definitely the link takes me to amazon.co.uk | 09:46 |
| eeee | iptable: we're kidding | 09:46 |

| ubottu | vibvibgyor1_,: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 09:48 |
| vibvibgyor1_ | I have just started with ubuntu...I want to know why linux is so much popular...what windows or mac can't do and linux can? | 09:49 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, windows and mac can't stay virus-free without buying antivirus software. | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | vibvibgyor1_, ask ##linux | 09:50 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, windows and definitely MAC cannot give you 99% of software you will ever want for free | 09:50 |
| brontosaurusrex | vibvibgyor1_: linux is not popular, afaik it takes less than 2% of desktops, check your facts | 09:50 |
| hateball | !ot | 09:51 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 09:51 |
| vibvibgyor1_ | but I have heard that linux can also be infected by virus | 09:51 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, linux is freedom - make it do what you want and look what you want and all for free. | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett | vibvibgyor1_, ASK ##linux | 09:51 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, I also heard that apples cause cancer :/ You have to install the virus yourself to have it. although yes, ask on ##linux channel for more information. this is ubuntu support. | 09:52 |
| === dannixon_ is now known as Guest95379 | ||
| vibvibgyor1_ | ohh I am sorry | 09:52 |
| vibvibgyor1_ | I mean ubuntu is popular among developers :P | 09:52 |
| vibvibgyor1_ | not in general | 09:52 |

| vibvibgyor1_ | @iptable please :'( | 09:53 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, ubuntu is very easy to install, simple to use and comes with nice GUI tools, pleasant to the eye and has a very good software manager (GUI). it also installs on most systems | 09:53 |
| vibvibgyor1_ | but why cli is useful? | 09:54 |
| iptable | vibvibgyor1_, it also has excellent community support on the forums and here for any issues you might have. excellent hardware support as well. | 09:54 |
| k1l_ | guys, vibvibgyor1_ iptable . if you dont have a specific technical ubuntu support issue please move that talk to #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:54 |

| Skutov | Nice easy one, how do I change the default java version to 64-bit? | 09:55 |
| hateball | Skutov: Java as in... browser plugin or what? | 09:56 |
| Skutov | hateball, whatevers used to run eclipse. | 09:56 |
| OerHeks | Skutov, default java is openJDK, you should have the 64 bit version unless YOU specify 32 bit | 09:57 |
| Skutov | OerHeks, So assuming that it's been changed away for some reason, what would be the best way to change it back? | 09:57 |
| hateball | Skutov: I'd use update-alternatives | 09:57 |
| iptable | shuduo, if you have 64 bit OS, you install java from repos and it will be 64 bit | 09:57 |
| iptable | Skutov, ^ | 09:58 |
| OerHeks | hateball +1 | 09:58 |
| iptable | Skutov, reinstall the 64 bit version of java | 09:58 |
| hateball | Skutov: "update-alternatives --get-selections|grep java" shows the current state of things | 09:58 |
| satureja | iptable: your Amazon link wasnt even https, I consider you are a grocery clerk! | 09:59 |
| Skutov | Hmmm... mostly pointed at java-8-oracle, guessing that's wrong. | 09:59 |
| iptable | satureja, are you drunk or drugged? do I need https to share a link to a product? | 10:00 |
| Skutov | Ah, fixed now. update-alternatives to change it back. Thanks for the help guys! | 10:00 |

| OerHeks | nrbrtx, join #ubuntu+1 for utopic support | 10:17 |

| JCT | i am starting the installation process... now | 10:17 |
| nrbrtx | OerHeks, OK | 10:17 |

| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| iptable | pak101, fakeraid you have got will present you with /dev/mdXXX device which is the raid drive. | 10:17 |
| DJones | DevDaemon: From memory there Dansguardian not 100% sure if thats still around though | 10:17 |
| iptable | pak101, if you configured raid0, it will be 8tb. if raid1, it will be 4tb | 10:18 |
| JCT | i went past the release notes screen | 10:18 |
| DJones | DevDaemon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DansGuardian | 10:18 |
| iptable | pak101, wait, so you want to dualboot | 10:18 |
| pak101 | iptable i have configured raid0 windows shows 8 tb but ubuntu shows only 3.6tb | 10:18 |
| JCT | i told it to download updates while installing. | 10:18 |
| iptable | pak101, it's the kind of information we need... please provide all relevant information. | 10:18 |
| DevDaemon | djones, I know about it but it can be use if the systems are in same network of office. but I want to restrict to use to those user who are in remote location | 10:19 |
| pak101 | iptable no i dont want to dual boot, in future if i decide to move from ubuntu to something else this data volume of 8tb will be intact and resusable in other os as well | 10:19 |
| DJones | DevDaemon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls This might help as well | 10:19 |
| pak101 | iptable my OS will be on other disk, not on the 8tb disk | 10:19 |
| JCT | i told it to not unmount partitions, because i want to keep windows seven. | 10:19 |
| DJones | DevDaemon: Not something I've used, so I can't give much advice about them, hopefully others here can though | 10:19 |
| iptable | pak101, ok, can you please give me ALL the information now please? how many drives you got, where is the OS, what is this raid you got? how you accessing it? what filesystem on it? | 10:20 |
| JCT | did i do the right thing? | 10:20 |
| DevDaemon | djones, I want to try nanny but it can be use upto 10.04 LTS and in our office in every desktop and laptop ubuntu 10.04 is uses | 10:20 |
| ikonia | garnus: why are you telling me ? | 10:20 |
| JCT | not unmounting the partitions to keep W7 was right, right? | 10:20 |
| pak101 | iptable 4 disk, first 2 disks form another raid0 on which OS will exist, next 2 disk form another raid0 which will be the data disks (8tb) | 10:21 |
| iptable | DevDaemon, then force them to VPN to the office and redirect all traffic through VPN | 10:21 |
| iptable | DevDaemon, 10.04 is no longer supported | 10:21 |
| JCT | can i keep W7 regardless of unmounting partitions? | 10:21 |
| iptable | JCT, yes, regardless of unmounting you will be asked later if you want to keep windows | 10:21 |
| DevDaemon | Won't it would effect in lantency ? | 10:21 |
| JCT | cool.. | 10:21 |
| pak101 | iptable idea is have data even if OS fails or change of OS | 10:22 |
| HewloThere | Hey there folks! What full mail servers would you suggest with minimal setup? (e.g. iRedmail, Squirrelmail, etc) (HAS TO BE FREE) | 10:22 |
| iptable | pak101, so, 4 disks, 2 RAID0 arrays, each with 2 disks. The OS is on one raid array and the data on another? | 10:22 |
| JCT | so i can keep W7 when partitions are unmounted | 10:22 |
| pak101 | iptable yes you are correct | 10:22 |
| iptable | pak101, you DO realise that RAID0 has -1 (minus 1) redundancy? i.e. if 1 drive fails you loose ALL the data. and drives WILL fail. they are consumables | 10:23 |
| JCT | right? | 10:23 |
| iptable | JCT, yes | 10:23 |
| JCT | kool | 10:23 |
| pak101 | iptable yes i am ok with tht | 10:23 |
| pak101 | iptable if i create the 8tb vol in w7 and come to ubuntu it shows 3.6tb and when i run gdisk it tells the backup gpt is corrupted | 10:23 |

| iptable | HewloThere, full-blown: zimbra community edition. very minimal: configure yourself. guide: http://iptable.co.uk/mw_linux_as_a_server.php#mail | 10:23 |
| JCT | should i select: "something else" as my option instead of "Replace Windows 7 with ubuntu"? | 10:24 |
| pak101 | iptable if i try to delete partition from gdisk and create again it is not letting me to create a 8tb volume | 10:24 |
| iptable | pak101, for a start, does the OS RAID0 present itself correctly with correct disk size? | 10:24 |
| HSaka | Guys, can u guys give me some reasons why ubuntu is better than centos? | 10:24 |
| HewloThere | Cool, thanks iptable. | 10:24 |
| pak101 | iptable yes it does i am able to see full size in w7 but not in ubuntu | 10:25 |
| JCT | obviously if i'm going to keep windows seven on drive C | 10:25 |
| somsip | HSaka: this is not an evangelical channel. Use whatever is best for your purpose | 10:25 |
| corubaruuu | I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on the latest Macbook Air, it seems to run pretty flawless which is great, but there's two tiny little things I'm trying to figure out how to fix. When I boot up the computer and login to Ubuntu, the bluetooth is always turned on, and the keyboard backlight is always turned up to full, even when they're turned off or turned down at shutdown. Where might I start looking to make sure these are both turned | 10:25 |
| iptable | HSaka, better repos (all software in repos, very difficult to get dependency problems), more stable, bigger community to help. | 10:25 |
| JCT | then i select "Something else". | 10:25 |
| iptable | HSaka, apart from that it's a personal choice | 10:25 |
| JCT | OK | 10:25 |
| HSaka | ty for info :) | 10:25 |
| k1l | HSaka: its awesome in every way :) HSaka but for real: use what you want. for comparison ##linux is better for that | 10:25 |
| facepalm | HSaka, try both, best thing about Linux is choice. | 10:25 |
| JCT | installation type is popping up | 10:25 |
| iptable | pak101, in ubuntu, are both raid showing the incorrect disk space, or just one of them? | 10:26 |
| JCT | 4 dev/sda's popped up | 10:26 |
| pak101 | iptable just one, the other raid shows full space (it is raid0 of two 256GB disks) | 10:26 |
| iptable | pak101, try gparted as well. on top-right corener of the window is the HDD choice. choose your device that is RAID, see how much actual disk space it tells you each device has. | 10:26 |
| eeee | JCT: do you have free space for ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| iptable | pak101, so one raid shows the space correctly while the other shows only half the space? looks like GPT issue. 8TB disk does not work with standard MBR partitioning and needs GPT. could be your GPT is corrupt. using gparted, can you make new GPT on that 8TB disk and new partition? | 10:27 |
| JCT | this d drive has 20 gb and according to the installation i can't install it even though 6gb is only required | 10:28 |
| iptable | JCT, apart from "something else", you had 2 other choices. one of them was "erase windows and isntall ubuntu". what was the other one? | 10:28 |
| pak101 | iptable i am not able to run gparted it is failing to open | 10:28 |
| iptable | JCT, from what I remember it was "install ubuntu alongside windows". you should have chosen that. | 10:28 |
| eeee | JCT: you'll need free space to make a partition for ubuntu | 10:28 |
| iptable | pak101, define failing to open | 10:28 |
| OerHeks | iptable, gparted does not go with GPT, parted does, or a gui like gdisk | 10:28 |
| iptable | pak101, errors, not opening at all? | 10:28 |
| JCT | it's not listed | 10:28 |
| JCT | ok let's start over | 10:28 |
| iptable | OerHeks, gparted supports GPT and MBR. | 10:29 |
| pak101 | iptable when i run gparted i am getting this "Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/mapper/isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid | 10:29 |

| pak101 | iptable yes that was 20 mins ago and i tried ubuntu before w7 which had the same issue | 10:31 |
| JCT | next menu | 10:31 |
| iptable | pak101, try gdisk: gdisk /dev/mapper/isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid | 10:31 |

| JCT | part 1 | 10:32 |
| bipul | Hello I am getting this messages on my terminal frequenlty when ever i am trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 14.10 LTS via commad line "sudo apt-get upgrade" http://paste.ubuntu.com/8471068/ | 10:32 |
| JCT | choices on my side? | 10:32 |
| pak101 | iptable it shows GPT damaged | 10:32 |
| iptable | bipul, ubuntu 14.10 is NOT LTS. Ubuntu 14.04 is. and from what I remember ubuntu 14.10 is not out yet | 10:32 |
| iptable | pak101, so windows was unable to create a correct RFC-compliant GPT partition table. | 10:33 |
| iptable | pak101, most likely that is | 10:33 |
| cfhowlett | bipul, for 14.10 support go to #ubuntu+1 | 10:33 |
| iptable | or one of your drives is indeed foobar | 10:33 |
| pak101 | iptable ok so what needs to be done? foobar? | 10:33 |
| iptable | broken | 10:33 |
| iptable | pak101, first smartmontools | 10:33 |
| bipul | cfhowlett: iptablesorry this problem is still persist in ubuntu 12.04 too | 10:34 |
| pak101 | iptable ok trying it out | 10:34 |
| JCT | "replace windows 7 with ubuntu" checkmark choices alongside windows 7? Encrypt the new ubuntu installation for security, and/or use lvm with the installation | 10:34 |
| pak101 | iptable thanks for all the help | 10:34 |
| iptable | pak101, no problems | 10:34 |
| JCT | crap my lag spiked to 6.5 seconds. | 10:34 |
| JCT | and it returned | 10:34 |
| iptable | pak101, and SSDs do suffer from sudden-death-syndrome, so I do not trust them at all | 10:34 |
| JCT | i was like wtd | 10:34 |
| JCT | IS anybody listening to the long scentences i made for a half hour?? | 10:35 |
| iptable | pak101, also sudo gdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid | 10:35 |
| JCT | IS ANYBODY NOTICING ME? | 10:35 |
| iptable | pak101, before the partition table print, it says: Disk /dev/sda: 1953525168 sectors, 931.5 GiB | 10:35 |
| JCT | ... | 10:35 |
| iptable | JCT, please stop | 10:35 |
| JCT | i thought i was being helped too. | 10:36 |
| iptable | JCT, patence? | 10:36 |
| iptable | patience even | 10:36 |
| JCT | geh. | 10:36 |
| eeee | JCT: chill, don't write everything you see and hold on | 10:36 |
| iptable | pak101, what is the disk space reported on that very line for your /dev/mapper device? | 10:36 |
| JCT | k. | 10:37 |
| pak101 | 2.9TB | 10:37 |
| pak101 | iptable 2.9tb | 10:37 |
| iptable | JCT, this is a free help support channel with people who do it becuase they want to ;) | 10:37 |
| bipul | Hello I am getting this messages on my terminal frequenlty when ever i am trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via commad line "sudo apt-get upgrade" http://paste.ubuntu.com/8471068/ | 10:37 |
| JCT | OK. i'm sorry. | 10:37 |
| iptable | pak101, uhm, so the RAID system only displays 3TB disk to ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| JCT | it says no root file system defined. | 10:37 |
| JCT | do you want me to list the SDA things to you | 10:37 |
| eeee | JCT: yes, you'll need to create a main ubuntu partition | 10:37 |
| pak101 | iptable how come it shows 8tb to windows but only 3 to ubuntu ? | 10:37 |
| eeee | JCT: i need you to explain what it is you have and what you want | 10:38 |
| iptable | pak101, I would guess that it's because fakeraid is crap altogether and probably not compatible with ubuntu in your case... although DO check it truly is RAID0. go to raid setup and reconfirm. | 10:38 |
| === daniele is now known as Guest99416 | ||
| JCT | OK | 10:38 |
| eeee | JCT: you mention sda, and another disk that's 20gb ? | 10:38 |
| iptable | pak101, what does ls -l /dev/mapper show? | 10:38 |
| iptable | any other disks? | 10:38 |
| pak101 | iptable yes i am very sure because w7 shows 8 tb :) | 10:38 |
| JCT | yes. | 10:38 |
| JCT | the one i want to install it on | 10:38 |
| eeee | so you have sda and sdb then ? | 10:38 |
| k1l | JCT: what is your actual issue? by all your lines you spammed in here i could not find any technical question | 10:38 |
| iptable | JCT, so you can just tick the "alonside windows 7" option and continue. what is the actual question? | 10:38 |
| pak101 | iptable control, isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid and isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid1 | 10:39 |
| JCT | I'm sorry for spamming | 10:39 |
| JCT | but that option is not highlighted | 10:39 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:39 |
| iptable | pak101, gdisk -l isw_daghhfiajb_DataRaid1 | 10:39 |
| iptable | pak101, what's the size of that | 10:39 |
| iptable | BluesKaj, morning | 10:39 |
| pak101 | iptable it shows 128MB | 10:39 |
| JCT | i had two options in installation type part 1 | 10:39 |
| iptable | JCT, so it's grayed out? | 10:39 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning iptable | 10:40 |
| iptable | JCT, do you have enough disk space to install ubuntu? can you squeeze out free 20GB let's say | 10:40 |
| eeee | JCT: iptable still trying to determine if he has 2 disks or one | 10:40 |
| zaggynl | susundbe1g: I'm back | 10:40 |
| pak101 | iptable the smartmon results have passed for both the disks | 10:40 |
| iptable | pak101, 128MB? uhm... | 10:40 |
| JCT | not even showed. 2 options. install over windows 7, or something else, then these drives pop up so i can see em | 10:40 |
| pak101 | iptable yes | 10:40 |
| iptable | pak101, run smartmon on all /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc | 10:40 |
| bipul | !info virtualbox | 10:40 |

| JCT | my first SDA: | 10:41 |
| pak101 | iptable i ran on both sda and sdb which are the 4tb disks | 10:41 |
| iptable | pak101, got /dev/md* ? | 10:41 |
| pak101 | iptable no md stuff | 10:41 |
| JCT | it's an NTFS as usual, it's about 3 GB, it's described as (Windows 7 [loader]) | 10:42 |
| iptable | pak101, I am pretty ready to say that your raid controller is windows-only and does not support linux. that's what happens with cheap fakeraid controllers... | 10:42 |
| iptable | pak101, you could try using software raid instead on linux, which would be the prefered method | 10:42 |
| pak101 | iptable ok should i buy a raid controller then ? | 10:42 |
| eeee | JCT: ok, what about sda2? | 10:42 |
| pak101 | iptable ack | 10:42 |
| eeee | JCT: if you can take a screen shot it would be great | 10:42 |
| JCT | how to post it? | 10:42 |
| iptable | pak101, well, software raid just works and is fast. | 10:42 |
| iptable | JCT, pastebinit | 10:42 |
| pak101 | iptable ack | 10:43 |
| JCT | gah that's confusing but ill see | 10:43 |
| JCT | ok.. | 10:43 |
| pak101 | iptable how come the other raid0 is showing full size and this one does not | 10:43 |
| iptable | pak101, before you do, go to raid config. some raid controllers (fakeraid only) as so bad they have a choice of "windows optimised raid" which you should untick. | 10:43 |
| JCT | i told it to copy to clipboard | 10:43 |
| JCT | now what | 10:44 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest25220 | ||
| pak101 | iptable ok will reboot and see if that is an iption | 10:44 |
| iptable | pak101, I can answer that one ;) 8TB required a lot more than 2TB. 2TB is limit for standard BIOS disk access and standard MBR etc. over 2TB you need the controller itself to support GPT or other (windows proprietary) access methods. | 10:44 |
| pak101 | iptable ack | 10:44 |
| iptable | pak101, also, is it ubuntu 14.04 64bit? | 10:45 |
| eeee | JCT: go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there | 10:45 |
| pak101 | iptable yes it is 14.04 64bit | 10:45 |
| iptable | pak101, ok, so ubuntu is fine. it also supports large drives (I got 20TB on my software raid array made of 4TB disks). | 10:45 |
| JCT | oh | 10:45 |
| eeee | alternatively you can press alt+printscreen, to take a screenshot and upload it to imgur.com | 10:45 |
| JCT | cool | 10:46 |
| iptable | pak101, it would be the fakeraid issue. with large drives it seems to do something silly that only windows understands. look at fakeraid configuration. maybe remove the array and recreate it. see if that helps. if not, use software raid instead. | 10:46 |
| JCT | um did that do it? lemme do a test | 10:46 |
| pak101 | iptable that is 12.04 :) i am not complaining about ubuntu, i love it and want to have it :) | 10:46 |
| pak101 | iptable yes my old dell machine has 4*2tb in fake raid0 and works jus fine | 10:46 |
| iptable | pak101, but I must warn you again. SSDs are more prawn to sudden-death-syndrome than HDDs and with raid0 one drive lost means all data is lost. it gives no redundancy | 10:47 |
| JCT | did it post | 10:47 |
| === Guest25220 is now known as ipxman | ||
| pak101 | iptable agree i have couple of backups thanks for the suggestion i will check the options if it is optimised to windows only | 10:47 |
| iptable | pak101, ah, so only this particular one has the issue ;) that would also work as a way to highlight that it';s a controller issue. | 10:47 |
| eeee | JCT: i'm afraid i have to ask, are you high? | 10:47 |
| pak101 | iptable yes only issue with this machine | 10:48 |
| JCT | f*k no, i'm just a tweenager | 10:48 |
| iptable | lol @eeee | 10:48 |
| JCT | i berely have any exp | 10:48 |
| JCT | what's the pastbin syntax? | 10:48 |
| eeee | did you upload it to imgur? | 10:49 |
| JCT | it's a type of syntax right? no i didn't | 10:49 |
| eeee | give us the link the paste.ubuntu.com , or imgur.com | 10:49 |
| JCT | i tried alt-prtscrn | 10:49 |
| PCworker | Hello all, I plugged my samsung cell phone using usb into my ubuntu 14.04 desktop PC. It asked me to choose between PC studio and Mass Storage Device. I chose Mass Storage Device. The cell says it is connected and Terminal command "lsusb" says it's there. But I can't access it and it don't show up in my devices list. What can I do to gain access to it so I can get my pictures off of it? | 10:49 |
| JCT | what's the syntax for the post? | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | JCT, if you don't upload the pic, we don't see the pci | 10:49 |
| eeee | JCT: open firefox and type www.imgur.com | 10:49 |
| iptable | JCT: 1. start gparted, 2. shrink a windows partition to get at least 20GB free disk space. preferably 30GB. 3. in gparted, partition the free space to have 1 partition (primary type) of most free space with type ext4 and another one with 1GB space type swap. 4. start ubuntu installation, choose "something else" and choose the new partition you created as mount point / and tick "format". If you get actually stuck with something or are not sure, then ask us. | 10:50 |
| iptable | JCT, also, make a backup. partition resizing can cause data damage if it doesn't succeed | 10:51 |
| JCT | oh | 10:51 |
| JCT | hmm | 10:51 |
| JCT | let me post first | 10:51 |
| iptable | PCworker, change emulation method on the phone | 10:51 |
| PCworker | to??? | 10:52 |
| iptable | PCworker, on the phone you have 2 options only once it is plugged in. MTP or camera. change from one to another. | 10:52 |
| pak101 | iptable this is the response i got from dell case This is in reference to the case reported with Ubuntu does not show up 100% HDD Capacity on OS--- I did have check with my Enterprise team, according to them Ubuntu Kernel should have inbuilt Intel Rapid Storage Drivers, but since is open source OS, it is possible the that downloaded version may not consists the Drivers. | 10:52 |
| iptable | PCworker, MTP should work. also, you have to have the phone unlocked and screen on as you plug it in, or it will not work. | 10:52 |
| JCT | ok. | 10:52 |
| PCworker | What is MTP? | 10:53 |
| JCT | the one highlighted is the one i want to install to.i will make to shots and links | 10:53 |
| iptable | PCworker, use your finger, swipe down and see what the new icon on the phone says in the corner when the phone has been plugged in | 10:53 |
| JCT | http://imgur.com/Ww1DyT3 | 10:53 |
| iptable | PCworker, media access protocol | 10:53 |
| iptable | pak101, it does have the raid drivers, that's why the /dev/mapper appears. but the raid controller itself is buggy at best. | 10:53 |
| pak101 | iptable i understand dells response was lame | 10:54 |
| iptable | pak101, you could try upgrading it's BIOS to see if that helps (you will need to recreate raid array for any fixes to work) | 10:54 |
| HewloThere | Hey, iptable, on the tutorial for setting up a mail server, is that assuming I have the LAMP stack installed? | 10:54 |
| pak101 | iptable ack will check if there is an update to their bios | 10:54 |

| HewloThere | Okay, cool Thx. | 10:55 |
| k1l_ | JCT: you got already 4 primary partitions? | 10:55 |
| JCT | can i put it in a terminal | 10:55 |
| iptable | HewloThere, the page in full contains everything you need. | 10:55 |
| HewloThere | Do I start from the top? | 10:55 |
| JCT | well i know two drives | 10:55 |
| k1l_ | JCT: "sudo fdisk -l" (small L at the end) | 10:55 |
| JCT | hmm | 10:56 |
| JCT | k | 10:56 |
| JCT | what does the command line do? | 10:56 |
| zaggynl | and now ofcourse I can't reproduce the bug, asdf | 10:56 |
| iptable | JCT, you cannot install ubuntu alongside windows on that drive as you already have 4 primary partitions - which is the maximum allowed | 10:56 |
| JCT | drive d, keep c | 10:56 |
| JCT | ? | 10:56 |
| iptable | JCT, is there any drive we can get rid of? | 10:56 |
| JCT | hmm | 10:56 |
| iptable | JCT, from your screenshot,judging by disk space, which one if so? | 10:57 |
| k1l_ | JCT: it lists all drives and partitions | 10:57 |
| PCworker | iptable: This is not a touch screen phone. It is an older type with the slide out keyboard. On the screen it has a PC icon and it says connected. | 10:57 |
| eeee | JCT: ok highlight sda3 and press "-" | 10:57 |
| eeee | ( the minus sign at the bottom ) | 10:57 |
| HewloThere | iptable: For the tutorial, I shall use Ubuntu 14.04 x64, correct? | 10:57 |
| iptable | PCworker, model? | 10:57 |
| JCT | that's the thing. i wanted to clear out sda 3 and put linux tghere | 10:57 |
| iptable | JCT, ok, highlight sda3, press the "-" under it as suggested | 10:58 |
| JCT | k | 10:58 |
| JCT | next? | 10:58 |
| HewloThere | iptable: Hate to say this again, however, for the tutorial, I shall use Ubuntu 14.04 x64, correct? | 10:58 |
| eeee | JCT: highlight the free space and press + | 10:58 |
| JCT | k | 10:59 |
| iptable | JCT, then create a partition on it, 100% of the size and make it type ext4 | 10:59 |
| eeee | make a new partition and format as ext4 with the mount point at "/" | 10:59 |
| jParkton | HewloThere: if your server is 14.04 and 64 bit yes | 10:59 |

| JCT | it is | 11:00 |
| eeee | "/" | 11:00 |

| iptable | as / | 11:00 |
| pak101 | iptable yes there is a bios update available i am going to try that next | 11:00 |
| JCT | mount point is | 11:00 |
| JCT | i s it /usr | 11:01 |
| eeee | mount point is "/" | 11:01 |
| iptable | pak101, try it. if it works, great. if not: you will need to use software raid | 11:01 |
| iptable | JCT: no, as we all say so many times: / | 11:01 |
| iptable | just / | 11:01 |
| pak101 | iptable yes will do thanks a lot | 11:01 |
| iptable | pak101, no probs | 11:01 |
| JCT | no mount points. k | 11:01 |
| eeee | JCT: no | 11:01 |
| iptable | stop | 11:01 |
| JCT | i used / | 11:01 |
| eeee | JCT: mount point is "/" | 11:01 |
| JCT | yes i did that | 11:01 |
| eeee | that's the mount point | 11:01 |
| eeee | ok | 11:02 |
| iptable | JCT, in gparted, just make sure it is formatted as ext4. In the installer choose "something else", select sda3 and choose mount point: / | 11:02 |
| eeee | it's different than having no mount point | 11:02 |
| eeee | anyways | 11:02 |
| iptable | JCT, it should show as mount point / | 11:02 |
| === dannixon is now known as Guest26800 | ||
| eeee | ( selecting no mount point ) | 11:02 |
| iptable | JCT, no mount point woudl be an empty space there. so, once you have chosen, in the installer sda3 as mount point /, continue | 11:03 |
| eeee | JCT: you don't want swap do you? we forgot to ask you | 11:03 |
| JCT | now sda 3 is ext4 instead of ntfs | 11:03 |
| JCT | not | 11:03 |
| JCT | ok | 11:03 |
| JCT | yeah i did eerything | 11:03 |
| eeee | JCT: yes, linux uses ext4, it can't work with ntfs | 11:03 |
| JCT | ohh. | 11:03 |
| iptable | it can see nad read ntfs, cannot boot from ntfs | 11:03 |
| JCT | k i'm continueing | 11:03 |
| JCT | oh. k | 11:03 |
| JCT | eeee you mean press install now | 11:04 |
| eeee | if you don't want swap, yes | 11:04 |
| JCT | k | 11:04 |
| JCT | it says i have not selected any partitions as swap space | 11:05 |
| eeee | yeah | 11:05 |
| JCT | i guess that's normal | 11:05 |
| eeee | yeah | 11:05 |
| eeee | wait a sec | 11:05 |
| JCT | it's starting | 11:05 |
| eeee | in your pic | 11:05 |
| JCT | from dvd | 11:05 |
| eeee | ok | 11:05 |
| JCT | wat | 11:05 |
| iptable | JCT, swap is only useful if you have very little ram or want hibernate to work, but let's skip it for now. we can play with swap later or use a swap file instead of a partition once you install. that's ok. | 11:05 |
| eeee | i was going to mention that it says device for bootloader /dev/sda3 | 11:05 |
| eeee | i think /dev/sda should be selected | 11:06 |
| JCT | i'm good | 11:06 |
| PCworker | iptable: Samsung sgh-a927 | 11:06 |

| mfoo | Hi all. What's the best way to get openssh-server 6.2+ on precise (12.04 LTS)? I don't see it in precise-backports. I would prefer not to host the deb in my own apt repo as I won't get security updates. I can see a few PPAs providing this (e.g. https://launchpad.net/~li69422-staff/+archive/ubuntu/backports-for-precise) but I assume there's no guarantee that they'll release updates. | 11:08 |

| iptable | JCT, I'm sure you can fill in your details yourself without having to tell us about it. | 11:09 |
| JCT | lol | 11:09 |
| JCT | i'm doing it right now | 11:09 |
| JCT | just telling you what part im on | 11:10 |
| iptable | no need. just skip to the issues bit ;) | 11:10 |
| jParkton | you design Linux? | 11:10 |
| iptable | JCT, since you had selected to install grub on /dev/sda3, you will probably fail to boot into ubuntu and will always boot into windows, but we will endavour to fix it once your installer finishes and reboot confirms that to be an issue | 11:11 |
| jParkton | that must be a pain | 11:11 |
| JCT | don't i just go into bios options and reconfigure boot order? | 11:11 |
| iptable | jParkton, not really. why you say that? | 11:11 |
| susundbe1g | zaggynl: were you able to reproduce the segfault ? | 11:11 |
| jParkton | designing OSs would be a pain imo | 11:11 |
| zaggynl | susundbe1g: no :( | 11:12 |
| iptable | JCT, no, you cannot reconfigure boot order of your partitions, only disks. it will boot from that disk, it's the bootloader that does the partition choises | 11:12 |
| JCT | it's copying files' | 11:12 |
| zaggynl | ofcourse it doesn't crash anymore now that gdb is running | 11:12 |
| iptable | jParkton, uhm no. it's not. | 11:12 |
| susundbe1g | zaggynl: thats how they tend to be at the worst case :) | 11:12 |
| zaggynl | :> | 11:12 |
| JCT | dang | 11:12 |
| JCT | but Drive D is a hard disk. | 11:12 |
| JCT | that's how i reconfigured it for cd | 11:13 |
| iptable | JCT, no, what you have shown us was 1 disk with 4 partitions | 11:13 |
| susundbe1g | zaggynl: if you want, you could give it a try with valgrind also, but usually that ends up in shitload of warnings/possible problems | 11:13 |
| jParkton | well I guess that is why you do it and I have my opinions | 11:13 |
| JCT | ? | 11:13 |
| JCT | hmm | 11:13 |
| iptable | JCT, and on that 1 disk you had windows recovery partition, the 20GB we freed etc | 11:13 |
| susundbe1g | zaggynl: valgrind <binary here> (make sure you have debug symbols installed!) | 11:13 |
| k1l_ | JCT: thats why i asked for "sudo fdisk -l" | 11:13 |
| JCT | oh | 11:13 |
| eeee | k1l_: he means Drive D: as in windows Drive D: C: etc. | 11:13 |
| iptable | JCT and you installed bootloader to that drive's partition, not master boot record. so when you choose to boot form that drive, it will boot whatever is in MBR, not ubuntu. but we will see when we get that. | 11:13 |
| k1l_ | eeee: honestly i am not sure. | 11:14 |
| JCT | wait........ | 11:14 |
| iptable | JCT, I am guessing you only got 1 physical drive. Drive D and C are partitions, no? | 11:14 |
| JCT | i forgot to input sudo fdisk | 11:14 |
| eeee | k1l_: http://imgur.com/Ww1DyT3 | 11:14 |
| JCT | no, D is a real drive | 11:14 |
| JCT | in my laptop | 11:14 |
| JCT | and e is my dvd-r drive | 11:15 |
| k1l_ | JCT: "sudo fdisk -l"in terminal and put that output into paste.ubuntu.com | 11:15 |
| iptable | JCT, no it is not. | 11:15 |
| brams | krasnayarsk: Hey d00d. How's ya doin'? | 11:15 |
| iptable | JCT, from your own screenshot: sda1-sda4 are partitions. 1 physical drive, 4 partitions. then you got your CD drive, which is another physical drive. that's all you got. | 11:15 |
| krasnayarsk | brams: I'm fine. Got that ubuntu installed? | 11:15 |
| JCT | oh.................. | 11:15 |
| JCT | i get it | 11:15 |
| JCT | those 4 oh now i get it | 11:15 |
| JCT | i think it finished copying files | 11:16 |
| === dannixon_ is now known as Guest63371 | ||
| JCT | how can i boot windows though? | 11:16 |
| JCT | if i'm successful? | 11:16 |
| eeee | JCT: you'll soon meet grub | 11:16 |
| brams | krasnayarsk: Yes. It's working great! Thanks for telling me about it. Sure beats using Apple! | 11:16 |
| iptable | JCT, C, D etc are partitions on the same single physical disk in your computer. E is obviously your DVD drive as you said. You can choose to boot from hard drive or DVD drive. but which partition you will boot from on HDD depends on the software in it's master boot record, not on your BIOS | 11:16 |
| k1l_ | JCT: you are asked on boot what to start | 11:16 |
| JCT | oh | 11:16 |
| iptable | JCT: ubuntu bootloader (grub2) will ask you which OS to load. windows bootloader: depends... | 11:17 |
| JCT | hmm k | 11:17 |
| iptable | JCT: if it finished it will tell you it finished and ask if you want to reboot. choose "YES", or reboot. | 11:17 |
| iptable | JCT: tell us then where it boots into (windows or ubuntu) | 11:17 |
| JCT | yes, or reboot | 11:17 |
| JCT | ok | 11:17 |
| JCT | yes could mean either thing if i did it wrong? | 11:17 |
| * eeee ponders JCT chrooting | 11:18 | |
| krasnayarsk | brams: You're welcome ;) | 11:18 |
| * JCT says what? | 11:18 | |
| krasnayarsk | Glad you got wifi to work. | 11:18 |
| eeee | windows will most likely load and you're going to boot the livecd again | 11:18 |
| brams | krasnayarsk: krasnayarsk Yeah. It's really good. | 11:18 |
| iptable | JCT: if it boots into windows, we will need to boot to liveCD again, and manually install grub2 in MBR. If it gives a nice ubuntu choice which OS to boot - all is good. If you get windows choice which OS to boot - also good. If you get straight to ubuntu - we will enable the menu in ubuntu grub configs | 11:19 |
| eeee | and chroot into the installation to reinstall grub on the mbr of /dev/sda | 11:19 |
| iptable | JCT: reboot and see what happens. | 11:19 |
| krasnayarsk | brams: You want to go see a movie later? | 11:19 |
| brams | krasnayarsk: lol | 11:19 |
| eeee | i wonder if he could reinstall grub before restarting | 11:19 |
| JCT | it hasn't finished yet very close | 11:19 |
| iptable | eeee, test first? windows 7 does give a boot menu sometimes and he can live with that ;) | 11:19 |
| brams | krasnayarsk: I gotta ask the missus :P | 11:19 |
| iptable | JCT: yes, wait for it to finish first... | 11:19 |
| eeee | yeah sure, just curious as he'd be in the actual system or what | 11:20 |
| iptable | good point | 11:20 |
| eeee | i guess not | 11:20 |
| JCT | remember, i'm a noob 12 year old coding early in the mornin | 11:20 |
| iptable | although installing grub2 will need /proc /dev /sys remounted before chroot again, even after install | 11:20 |
| eeee | when it says continue testing or reboot the thing you do arent saved | 11:20 |
| === brams is now known as Spiderman | ||
| eeee | iptable: true | 11:20 |
| JCT | ? | 11:20 |
| eeee | that's what i was pondering more or less | 11:20 |
| JCT | what's that | 11:21 |
| iptable | eeee, hence I would rather he reboots after installer finished first and see if he gets a choice of OS. might save us a lot of hassle | 11:21 |
| eeee | iptable: im with you on that | 11:21 |

| JCT | i'm using my school home laptop | 11:22 |
| jParkton | Im almost 40 and never coded anything for profit | 11:22 |
| iptable | MrChrisDruif, 1. check if the slider on the SD card is set to "read only". 2. check with another SD card. this one could be broken. | 11:22 |
| k1l_ | !ot I_L0V3_YOU | 11:22 |

| JCT | oh btw i have a sd slot but when i was fumbling with the device manager on W7 unistalled it | 11:23 |
| MrChrisDruif | iptable; thanks, I don't have any spare laying about tho =( | 11:23 |
| iptable | JCT, it will just work in linux ;) | 11:23 |
| JCT | ... ok cool | 11:23 |
| iptable | MrChrisDruif, that how you would be testing it I'm afraid | 11:23 |
| MrChrisDruif | Lol, thanks anyway iptable =) | 11:23 |
| JCT | it probably registered a new device | 11:23 |
| iptable | MrChrisDruif, sd slots are just disk devices as far as linux is concerned. so if it's read-only, either the reader is broken or the sd card is broken or the sd card is read only (see slider on sd card) | 11:24 |
| oleole | Hello, I have a 3G USB modem that works fine on 12.04. In my configuration in networkmanager, I have checked "Connect automatically". But if I e.g. take the modem out, and plug it in again, it doesn't connect automatically | 11:24 |
| oleole | I have to manually click in network in the top menu, and click my carrier to connect | 11:24 |
| oleole | Anyone who knows why it doesn't connect automatically even though I have selected that option? Or how I can fix it? | 11:24 |
| jParkton | click the carrier? | 11:25 |
| jParkton | explain that more | 11:25 |
| iptable | oleole, go to the network manager settings, choose your configured connection and edit. see the "connect automatically" is ticked | 11:25 |
| iptable | jParkton, he is using a 3G USB modem with a simcard | 11:25 |
| oleole | jParkton: Sorry. I mean click the configuration profile | 11:25 |
| JCT | tick by tick it's finishing. it's "completely removing" stuff | 11:25 |
| oleole | iptable: As I said, I have already checked that ooption | 11:25 |
| oleole | So I don't understand why it's not working | 11:25 |
| iptable | oleole, if it is ticked, the problem is that the modem will be presenting itself first as CD drive with windows drivers and as modem second. | 11:26 |
| jParkton | is it a mobile broadband? | 11:26 |
| iptable | jParkton, yes. quite popular in Europe | 11:26 |
| oleole | jParkton: Yep | 11:26 |
| oleole | USB stick with a simcard | 11:26 |
| oleole | iptable: Yep it does | 11:26 |
| oleole | But Ubuntu automatically modeswitch it | 11:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | iptable; thanks. I'll just hop to a store with office supplies to get some scotch-tape (and some staples while I'm at it) and make sure the slider doesn't move while inserting. If that doesn't work I'll hop to the electronics store and buy a new micro-sd card. | 11:26 |
| iptable | oleole, some crappy modems do that. and if it does that, then network manager doesn't correctly work with the modem as udev needs to do extra modeswitch on it. | 11:26 |
| jParkton | iptable: popular in the US as well what is your point | 11:27 |
| iptable | oleole, in which case automatic connection doesn't work | 11:27 |
| JCT | hold on i gotta poop then restart linux bye now | 11:27 |
| iptable | jParkton, uhm, sorry. you asked as if you didn't know. I assumed you weren't sure of such devices | 11:27 |
| jParkton | oleole: Mine bugs out as well for some reason, maybe that is normal? | 11:27 |
| oleole | iptable: Why doesn't that work? Ubuntu switches the mode, and the second it becomes available in modem mode, it should connect? | 11:27 |
| iptable | JCT, way too much info | 11:27 |
| oleole | iptable: What's a fix for that? Write a script that checks if the modem is available, and run it every minute as a cronjob? | 11:27 |
| === rafal is now known as Guest78457 | ||
| iptable | oleole, no, ubuntu discoveres it, NM tries to connect and fails, udev switches. too late, we already tried connecting ;) | 11:28 |
| iptable | oleole, a race condition. | 11:28 |
| jParkton | iptable: I ask because it is dangerous to assume his setup without knowing | 11:28 |
| === DevDaemon is now known as nmap | ||
| oleole | iptable: Yeah, I understand now | 11:28 |
| iptable | oleole, for modeswitch you could create a script that runs after modeswitch, but that' way outside my perimiter | 11:28 |
| iptable | jParkton, ok. cool. I only know as I have excatly the same issue here. | 11:29 |
| === nmap is now known as devdaemon | ||
| iptable | although too lazy to try auto-connecting. I don't mind pressing connect. | 11:29 |
| oleole | iptable: Mine too.. That's why I thought of making a script that runs every minute, checks if there is a modem, and if true, start the connection using nmcli | 11:29 |
| iptable | at least I am in control of the dialler. | 11:29 |
| jParkton | same here | 11:29 |
| wmllz | hello everyone | 11:29 |
| oleole | But is that too hacky? | 11:29 |
| jParkton | not really | 11:29 |
| iptable | oleole, it is hacky as it would take a minute to start connecting... | 11:30 |
| jParkton | if it works for you then do it maybe someone else will find it needed | 11:30 |
| oleole | iptable: that doesn't matter much if it's delayed by one or two minutes | 11:30 |
| iptable | oleole, better solution would be a script that runs in the background (in a screen session for example) and uses inotifywait to wait until the modem appears in /dev. then sleep 2 to allow time to initialise and then nmcli connect ;) | 11:30 |
| === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga | ||
| === ajeffco is now known as ajeffco|away | ||
| iptable | oleole, the script would need to check if it's connected first. and only attempt connect if not connected yet though. | 11:31 |
| lukas1 | virtualbox-guest-additions-iso removes virtualbox-4.3, they conflict with each other, is that normal? | 11:31 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest36359 | ||
| oleole | iptable: That would be an option too | 11:31 |
| iptable | lukas1, yes. you are either running as guest or as normal user. also, virtualbox-4.3 comes iwth the iso for guest mounting already | 11:31 |
| iptable | I meant guest or host | 11:32 |
| oleole | But it really doesn't matter if it's not instantly on. | 11:32 |
| iptable | oleole, in that case, run a script every minute from scron yes. make sure you check connection status before attempting a connect. 1. check if modem is there, 2. check if it's connected, if modem is there but not connected, then connect. | 11:32 |
| oleole | iptable: Yeah, that's a good solution | 11:33 |
| iptable | oleole, also, figure out how long it takes to connect so you don't attempt to connect while it;s already trying | 11:33 |
| lukas1 | iptable: I think that virtualbox-guest-additions-iso is for the host not the guest, is that right? In fact, it recommends virtualbox | 11:33 |
| oleole | iptable: 1 minute (until next run) should be fine | 11:33 |
| iptable | oleole, unless there is a "connecting" status in nmcli, in which case that would mean take no action too | 11:33 |
| oleole | Yep | 11:33 |
| oleole | I don't know that | 11:33 |
| oleole | But will look into it | 11:33 |
| iptable | test | 11:33 |
| iptable | cool | 11:33 |
| iptable | lukas1, you just want virtualbox installed on host, right? | 11:34 |
| lukas1 | iptable: please answer as my last question as stated, thanks | 11:34 |
| iptable | lukas1, no? | 11:34 |
| iptable | lukas1, all you need is virtualbox-4.3 it has everything in that package. | 11:34 |
| oleole | It's because we have some devices at some places where we sometimes want to connect. So we want the people at that place to just plug in a modem, and then it'll make a ping to us, so we get the IP and can connect.. Because it's a headless setup, we really can't say to them "Click in the top bar to activate" :D | 11:34 |
| iptable | lukas1, alternatively in the repos there is the "opensoutce-only" virtualbox with no proprietary drivers, and that requires the package and a few others. but it's not as good. | 11:35 |
| iptable | lukas1, if you want oracle virtualbox in it's full power, you only want virtualbox-4.3 it installs everything you need in that package | 11:35 |
| Xeago__ | I'm running piupart to verify my debian package, but it requires /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trusty to be present | 11:35 |
| oleole | iptable: but thanks for the help! I'll disconnect now as I'm on that particular modem, so have to replug it when I've made the script :D | 11:36 |
| iptable | oleole, that makes sense | 11:36 |
| Xeago__ | I'm running 14.04, but the package debootstrap does not provide that script, what's wrong? | 11:36 |
| iptable | oleole, good luck! | 11:36 |
| oleole | Thank you :) Have a good day | 11:36 |
| iptable | Xeago__, which script | 11:36 |
| Xeago__ | iptable: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trusty | 11:36 |
| iptable | Xeago__, hold on. I'm on 14.04. checking | 11:37 |
| iptable | ls -l /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trusty returns: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trusty -> gutsy | 11:37 |
| iptable | Xeago__, so yes, trusty script does exist in debootstrap in 14.04. It uses gutsy script which figures out that you called "trusty" and installs accordingly | 11:38 |
| iptable | Xeago__, same script, figures out which name it was called by | 11:38 |
| Xeago__ | the file is nonexistent for me, what version of debootstrap do you run? | 11:38 |
| Xeago__ | I'm on 1.0.52-1~0.0.0.293.3bc34ed.1 | 11:38 |
| iptable | Xeago__, on a fresh install of 14.04 I type in: aptitude install debootstrap. that's all | 11:39 |
| jack | gutsy...one after feisty | 11:39 |

| iptable | well, it installs trusty | 11:39 |
| iptable | Xeago__, ah, so not installing the right version of debootstrap. | 11:39 |
| === cryptodan is now known as cryptodan_laptop | ||
| iptable | Xeago__, version here as well: debootstrap 1.0.59ubuntu0.1 | 11:40 |

| Netriots | Hey! | 11:40 |
| Xeago__ | thanks! | 11:40 |
| iptable | Xeago__, whatever version you are running is not the version actively provided by trusty. even version naming doesn't match | 11:41 |

| iptable | matty_r, only that for windows games you need windows. I also did advise the user that steam4linux, html5, java and flash games as well as games from software centre run on linux | 11:52 |
| Svetlana | how bad does it get? | 11:52 |
| jParkton | iptable: he is just too stupid to read a nickname before he launches an assault | 11:52 |
| matty_r | iptables, You pretty much throw away some of the great releases and almost put it into the category of mobile gaming | 11:52 |
| HewloThere | iptable is like a help assassin. | 11:52 |
| jParkton | lol | 11:52 |
| iptable | matty_r, where did I say anything like that? | 11:52 |
| HewloThere | I swear he needs his own channel. | 11:52 |
| iptable | jParkton, agreed. is he even reading? | 11:53 |
| jParkton | matty_r: that was me, stop proving yourself to be a dumbass and read a nickname ffs | 11:53 |
| HewloThere | Hey, iptable, would you suggest MySQL or MariaDB? | 11:53 |
| OerHeks | stop feeding the troll, lets move on please | 11:53 |
| matty_r | iptable: flash and java, there is alot more out there then that | 11:53 |
| iptable | HewloThere, no idea. I am a mysql user although with the way things a re going, looks like MariaDB is the one I should propose. | 11:53 |
| k1l_ | !ot | matty_r iptable jParkton | 11:53 |
| ubottu | matty_r iptable jParkton: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 11:53 |
| iptable | HewloThere, it's compatible | 11:53 |
| HewloThere | I see... | 11:53 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: What chipset and driver combo might that be? | 11:54 |
| iptable | matty_r, where did I say that linux is useless for gaming? | 11:54 |
| * jParkton salutes all the commandos | 11:54 | |
| iptable | ugh, nevermind. | 11:54 |
| MagicSpud | the default graphics driver is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau but with this driver I have no 3d acceleration and the graphics are slow...some web pages remain mixed with the new ones and its hard to trust what you read | 11:54 |
| HewloThere | iptable: Separate issue; I'm trying to run htpasswd, however, it says "cannot create file". | 11:54 |
| Avryn | iptable, you didnt... jparkton essentially did... "<jParkton> just remove Linux and run Windows if you need a gaming rig" | 11:54 |
| MagicSpud | hateball the graphics card is a geforce gt 610 | 11:55 |
| iptable | HewloThere, are you sure you have permission to write in that directory? tried sudo? | 11:55 |
| OerHeks | MagicSpud, what videocard? open terminal: lspci | grep -i VGA | 11:55 |
| OerHeks | ah | 11:55 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: Well you should be able to enable the restricted driver in system settings -> drivers, or some such | 11:55 |
| matty_r | iptable: You didn't mate. You almost dimissed it entirely from being a solid gaming platform. When it's quite capable, lots of AAA titles available now. | 11:55 |
| HewloThere | Tried with and without sudo, even though I am root user. | 11:55 |
| iptable | matty_r, where did I do that? | 11:56 |
| iptable | HewloThere, what command did you run? | 11:56 |
| jParkton | Avryn: yes and I stand by that, but we have been operscolded a couple of times for non kernel related talk | 11:56 |
| k1l_ | matty_r: last time now. this is not a duscussion channel its a technical support channel | 11:56 |
| jParkton | so we dropped it | 11:56 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: I am on KDE, so I am not sure exactly where. Perhaps it is still named jockey-gtk in Ubuntu, if you can launch that | 11:56 |
| HewloThere | iptable: I ran "sudo htpasswd -c /root/passwords/.htpasswd admin" | 11:56 |
| iptable | jParkton, no worries mate. I agree with you 50% of the way ;) At least for current year 2014 ;) | 11:57 |
| MagicSpud | hateball I did but any other driver different from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau turns my screen black | 11:57 |
| OerHeks | MagicSpud, 610 sounds like dual GPu optimus | 11:57 |
| iptable | HewloThere, does /root/passwords directory exist? | 11:57 |
| jParkton | lol | 11:57 |
| HewloThere | No. Lol. | 11:57 |
| MagicSpud | OerHeks and what with that? | 11:57 |
| iptable | heh | 11:57 |
| jParkton | hateball: me too | 11:57 |
| jParkton | love KDE | 11:57 |
| hateball | !bumblebee | MagicSpud | 11:57 |
| ubottu | MagicSpud: The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ | 11:57 |
| k1l_ | bumblebee is outdated, use nvidia-prime instead | 11:58 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, tried nvidia-prime? it's a package that aims at providing the switch natively | 11:58 |
| iptable | oh | 11:58 |
| hateball | I see | 11:58 |
| OerHeks | :-) | 11:58 |
| HewloThere | Still can't create file... | 11:58 |
| hateball | Been a while since I was at the mercy of such a foul beast such as optimus | 11:58 |
| MagicSpud | nvidia-prime¿ | 11:58 |
| MagicSpud | bumblebee? | 11:59 |
| iptable | nvidia prime supports optimus. transformers gone wrong... | 11:59 |
| HewloThere | I created the directories "/path/to/passwods/" and it still didn't work. | 11:59 |
| MagicSpud | the card was performing awesome under 12.04 | 11:59 |
| MagicSpud | why is this crappy in 14.04? | 11:59 |
| iptable | and prime is better than bumblebee :D | 11:59 |
| jParkton | unity? | 11:59 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud - did you use Optirun? | 11:59 |
| HewloThere | iptable: I created the directories "/path/to/passwods/" and it still didn't work. | 11:59 |
| k1l_ | MagicSpud: if you got a 2video card setup (like the nvidia for power and the intel one for saving energy, called nvidia optimus) you will need a special driver for that | 11:59 |
| MagicSpud | matty_r I dont know what that is?¿ | 12:00 |
| pak101 | iptable no luck with bios upgrade | 12:00 |
| iptable | HewloThere, htpasswc -c /root/.htpasswd admin | 12:00 |
| iptable | HewloThere, does that work? | 12:00 |
| iptable | HewloThere, if it does, then move the .htpasswd where you want it to. | 12:00 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, with bumblebee installed you run the game with the launch option 'optirun' which forces the game to use your dedicated graphics card. | 12:00 |
| iptable | HewloThere, if not, can you create any files in that dir in any way? maybe you have a bigger issue | 12:00 |
| === Overtime_Gir is now known as Invader_Gir | ||
| iptable | pak101, did you destroy and recreate the 8TB raid array before checking? | 12:01 |
| OerHeks | MagicSpud, go for nvidia-prime, as bumblebee is outdated | 12:01 |
| pak101 | iptable no i will try now | 12:01 |
| HewloThere_ | iptable: I made the file. | 12:02 |
| iptable | pak101, go for it. if that fails, you have a fakeraid controller that doesn't support large drives under linux. it is not uncommon. | 12:02 |
| iptable | HewloThere, cool. so move it where you want it to. | 12:02 |
| matty_r | OerHeks, Is it? damn. I only just installed bumblebee like a month ago. | 12:02 |
| HewloThere_ | How do I move it in SSH? =P | 12:02 |
| iptable | HewloThere, ssh to the destination server and use the mv command | 12:02 |
| pak101 | iptable trying it out onw | 12:02 |
| pak101 | iptable onw -> now | 12:02 |
| iptable | HewloThere, mv - move | 12:02 |
| HewloThere_ | What's the format? | 12:03 |
| iptable | HewloThere, man mv | 12:03 |
| HewloThere_ | Thx. | 12:03 |
| iptable | HewloThere, it will tell you it's mv {SOURCE} {DESTINATION} on 3rd line of the output. | 12:03 |
| MagicSpud | OerHeks matty_r bumbblebee and nvidia-prime are not compatible are they? | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | MagicSpud: forget about bumblebee, just use nvidia-prime | 12:04 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, no they are not compatible. bumblebee existed for a long while, doesn't matter when you installed it. nvidia-prime is official ubuntu nvidia dual-card support now. | 12:04 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, I installed windows xp only a month ago too in a VM. Oh, it[s obsolete - see where I'm going with this? use nvidia-prime. | 12:05 |
| HewloThere_ | How does one find something recursively? | 12:05 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, what do you mean find something recursively? | 12:05 |
| eeee | HewloThere_: is there any other way ? :P | 12:05 |
| HewloThere_ | Find a file (.htpasswd) | 12:05 |
| iptable | I tend to open all the drawers on the shelf ;) | 12:05 |
| OerHeks | MagicSpud, no, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics#A14.04-1 " you can easily switch between GPUs from the Prime section of the nvidia-settings panel." | 12:05 |
| HewloThere_ | I've got no idea, I'm a noob. | 12:05 |
| MagicSpud | okay I ll give a shot to nvidia-prime though not quite sure what for... | 12:06 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, find /path/to/start/searching -name ".htpasswd" | 12:06 |
| eeee | HewloThere_: find is recursive unless you specify the max depth | 12:06 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, check out this article http://swapniel99.wordpress.com/2014/05/31/bumblebee-or-nvidia-prime/ | 12:06 |
| HewloThere_ | Oh. | 12:06 |
| MagicSpud | there is no graphics card embedded in my motherboard | 12:06 |
| MagicSpud | the geforce gt 610 is the only card I am using | 12:06 |
| HewloThere_ | So if I wanted to find .htpasswd and didn't know which folder to start in, I just type "find -name ".htpasswd"? | 12:06 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, so why bumblebee and/or prime at all? what's the actual issue? | 12:07 |
| === Caroga is now known as Caroga_afk | ||
| eeee | HewloThere_: sudo find / -xdev -iname ".htpasswd" | 12:07 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, if you only got 1 graphics card, no need for either. just install nvidia graphics drivers using the software centre, reboot and away you go. | 12:07 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, Do you have an Intel processor? | 12:07 |
| HewloThere_ | Thx. | 12:07 |
| MagicSpud | the issue is I am having problems to read this chat because of the awfull refresh rate | 12:07 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, and it's in a laptop? | 12:07 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, no, you type in: find / -name ".htpasswd" | 12:07 |
| eeee | HewloThere_: -xdev is useful if you dont want it traversing any mounted ext hdd's you have, it will tell it to stick to the filesystem | 12:07 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, so you start in / | 12:07 |
| MagicSpud | no | 12:08 |
| MagicSpud | desktop | 12:08 |
| HewloThere_ | I found it. =P | 12:08 |
| HewloThere_ | How do I make ls show hidden files? | 12:08 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, ok, then install the proprietary nvidia drivers. did you install them? | 12:08 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, ls -a | 12:08 |
| eeee | HewloThere_: ls -a | 12:08 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, ohhh ok, sorry. I may have lead you down the garden path with this then. as iptable said, goto additional drivers and install the proprietary nVidia ones. | 12:08 |
| frosch | hey, so i borked ubuntu 14.04. some months ago installed lubuntu desktop or other things on normal ubuntu. removed. no problems since, except it still shows "lubuntu" while booting. dunno if this has st to do with the prob, which is: | 12:08 |
| MagicSpud | iptable I did that several times and the only working driver is nouveau | 12:08 |
| pak101 | iptable no luck after recreation | 12:08 |
| pak101 | iptable i will stick with software raid thanks a lot for helping | 12:09 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, when you install nvidia drivers, did you do that via software centre or apt-get? | 12:09 |
| iptable | pak101, no worries mate | 12:09 |
| matty_r | MagicSpud, press the Super button and type Additional Drivers. Open that up and have a look at your options. | 12:09 |
| iptable | it's been a while since someone said "press the super button". kudos to you :) | 12:10 |
| MagicSpud | I first tried the fabulous gui additional drivers but it looks like pulling my leg because the changes are not setting... | 12:10 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, cli drivers will not install just like that | 12:10 |
| frosch | had to reboot today (had for some weeks "need to reboot following updates" but clicked "later"), now when logging in: no desktop, only background. "ubunty" in terminal (started from text console) brings up some things. how to correct? what to reinstall? | 12:10 |
| MagicSpud | then I switched to tty and tried ubuntu-drivers devices to find out wich driver to install | 12:10 |
| HewloThere_ | If I said in a file, something (a .htpasswd) is in /path/to/passwords/, would that be /root/path/to/passwords/ or /path/to/passwords (in the "/" directory, not "/root" directory). | 12:10 |
| MagicSpud | it said the recommended driver is nvidia-340 but I had no luck at all installing it | 12:10 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, you have probably broken it. to install nvidia drivers from cli you need: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers, 2. then you apt-get install nvidia-331-updates nvidia-opencl-icd-331-updates nvidia-prime nvidia-settings | 12:11 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, that will give you full nvidia support. reboot and check | 12:11 |
| HewloThere_ | iptable: If I said in a file, something (a .htpasswd) is in /path/to/passwords/, would that be /root/path/to/passwords/ or /path/to/passwords (in the "/" directory, not "/root" directory). | 12:11 |
| eeee | "/" is the starting directory, /root is a directory under it | 12:12 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, /path/to/passwords is NOT /root/path/to/passwords. /root is just root user home directory | 12:12 |
| HewloThere_ | Ahh... | 12:12 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, "root directory" is /. "Root user's home" is /root | 12:12 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, you need root access to see files under /root | 12:13 |
| eeee | or a really good 0-day :P | 12:13 |
| HewloThere_ | I am root. =P | 12:13 |
| iptable | MagicSpud, but no, you should have, from start, installed nvidia drivers using software centre additional drivers section and rebooted. | 12:13 |
| iptable | eeee, or that | 12:13 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: you shouldn't be | 12:14 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, you are, but apache will not be when it runs. it will not have access to .htaccess | 12:14 |
| iptable | Ben64, when you are executing a lot of root-only commands one after another it helps being root, not having to sudo eveery command one after another | 12:14 |
| HewloThere_ | I put the file in /path/to/passwods | 12:14 |
| HewloThere_ | I put the file in /path/to/passwords * | 12:14 |
| Ben64 | iptable: its an extra 4 letters : / | 12:14 |
| iptable | Ben64, or about 1000 if you are doing a lot of root-related configs | 12:15 |
| iptable | Ben64, ever tried to deploy mail server with antispam and virtualusers in under 1 day? | 12:15 |
| Ben64 | really? 250 lines? don't be silly | 12:15 |
| iptable | my server install manual contains more than that | 12:15 |
| iptable | and 99% of it is stuff in /etc and reboots and installs | 12:16 |
| iptable | there is time to stick to sudo, there is a time to sudo -i to root. on fresh install and configuration, I opt for the latter. | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | you can do whatever you want, most users should not, and its not recommended in this channel | 12:16 |
| eeee | i think it's fine | 12:17 |
| iptable | it's a choice everyone has | 12:17 |
| HewloThere_ | iptable: Do I need a BIND9 DNS SERVER if it's a VPS? | 12:17 |
| eeee | enabling the root user isn't | 12:17 |
| eeee | as it's a security risk | 12:17 |
| eeee | but if you dont know what you're doing, you shouldn't be using sudo <command> anyways | 12:17 |
| iptable | eeee, sudo -i is not enabling root user, is it? | 12:17 |
| eeee | sudo -i what's the problem | 12:17 |
| eeee | iptable: no, it's not | 12:17 |
| iptable | ok | 12:17 |
| HewloThere_ | iptable: Do I need a BIND9 DNS SERVER if it's a VPS? | 12:18 |
| Ben64 | its almost never necessary to get a root shell | 12:18 |
| iptable | ah I see what you are saying | 12:18 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, patience? | 12:18 |
| HewloThere_ | Sorry. =P | 12:18 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: you don't "need" anything | 12:18 |
| HewloThere_ | Is it suggested? | 12:18 |
| iptable | eeee, yes. password on root user is not a good idea. sudo -i ... no, if you need it, you use it. | 12:18 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, do you want to take care of DNS for your own domain? | 12:18 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, you need to answer your own questions... | 12:18 |
| HewloThere_ | Well, I already have a domain connected to it. | 12:19 |
| HewloThere_ | That works. | 12:19 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, so don't deploy a dns server if you don't want it. decide what you do want. | 12:19 |
| raichunator | hello. I have a problem with the flash player. I have ubuntu 14.04. On sites like facebook it requiers me to get flash player | 12:19 |
| HewloThere_ | I'm a complete newb with Linux. That's why I'm asking. | 12:19 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: then why are you trying to run a vps? | 12:19 |
| HewloThere_ | I'm trying to setup a mail server... | 12:20 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, it's not a linux related question really. it's a sysadmin question to server services | 12:20 |
| HewloThere_ | raichumator: Install Flash? | 12:20 |
| iptable | raichunator, go to software centre and isntall flash | 12:20 |
| HewloThere_ | I see... | 12:20 |
| OerHeks | raichunator, flash games on facebook do not work AFAIK | 12:20 |
| raichunator | iptable, it's already installed thats the strager thing | 12:20 |
| HewloThere_ | What IRC client do y'all use? | 12:20 |
| raichunator | OerHeks, i don't play games just for video | 12:21 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: you might want to test out all this server stuff locally before getting a vps and having it connectible worldwide | 12:21 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, it's a personal choice. I use hexchat as it came with my mint and I can't be bothered to switch to something else. it does the job. let's me chat | 12:21 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, and what Ben64 said. follow tutorials, learn what you are doing in a VM, THEN deploy live | 12:21 |
| HewloThere_ | The thing is, I can't test it locally, I don't have a spare server laying around. | 12:21 |
| Ben64 | virtualbox | 12:21 |
| HewloThere_ | I'd prefer not to do that. | 12:22 |
| HewloThere_ | VPS is easier. | 12:22 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, VM? virtualbox/kvm/vmware all do it. | 12:22 |
| HewloThere_ | I can turn it off if I need to. | 12:22 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, and they are the easiest option. | 12:22 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: also opens you up to attack | 12:22 |
| HewloThere_ | =P | 12:22 |
| HewloThere_ | raichunator: Is your Linux install 32 or 64 bit? | 12:22 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, virtualization, really. do that. learn. and yes, you can turn virtual machines off at will too. that's what VPS providers do. only you are in control.. | 12:22 |
| iptable | anyhow | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | HewloThere_: mail servers + inexperience = recipe for disaster | 12:23 |
| HewloThere_ | I'd prefer to leave my Win 8.1 alone. =P | 12:23 |
| raichunator | HewloThere_, 64bit | 12:23 |
| HewloThere_ | Yea. | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | vbox wouldn't mess with windows at all | 12:23 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, get a machine with 4GB of RAM and run zimbra instead. simple install, deployment, powerful mail and calendar system, all auto-deploys without having to do it yourself. and it's free. | 12:23 |
| HewloThere_ | http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11.2_for_Ubuntu_(apt)&standalone=1 | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | raichunator: don't do that ^ | 12:24 |
| HewloThere_ | Do wht? | 12:24 |
| HewloThere_ | what? * | 12:24 |
| OerHeks | helgikrs3, that version is in our repos | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | raichunator: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 12:24 |
| HewloThere_ | I can't afford 4GB of RAM. | 12:24 |
| raichunator | in software center it says installed for mozilla | 12:24 |
| OerHeks | helgikrs3,sorry, was for HewloThere_ > that version is in our repos | 12:24 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, and virtualbox/vmware/windows virtualization do not mess with your windows install. hence they are called "virtual machines". altohugh if you are afraid to run a VM, mail server depliyment is outside your peremiter for now. | 12:24 |
| compdoc | heh | 12:24 |
| HewloThere_ | Mhm. | 12:25 |
| iptable | mail servers are the most complicated thing available to linux admin to deploy themselves. | 12:25 |
| iptable | vlans, nah. bgp, simple. mail server is bloody complicated. really. | 12:25 |
| HewloThere_ | Mhm. | 12:25 |
| compdoc | HewloThere_, if you want a decent mail server thats easy to set up, try SME Server in a virtual machine | 12:25 |
| HewloThere_ | What does SME stand for? | 12:25 |
| compdoc | google it | 12:26 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, installing a mailserver from scratch atm is not for you, trust us. get something like SME or zimbra or other. something that deploys itself. | 12:26 |
| compdoc | its from contribs.org | 12:26 |
| xxd | hello | 12:26 |
| HewloThere_ | I'd like to do that, but can't get it to work. | 12:26 |
| HewloThere_ | I tried iRedmail but constantly not working. | 12:26 |
| raichunator | Ben64, flashplugin-installer is already the newest version. | 12:26 |
| xxd | I don't how to quit | 12:26 |
| Ben64 | raichunator: then you've got flash already | 12:26 |
| iptable | xxd, type in /quit | 12:27 |
| compdoc | HewloThere_, many ISPs block port 25, so you have to take steps to bypass that | 12:27 |
| HewloThere_ | I'm on a VPS... All ports are unblocked... | 12:27 |
| compdoc | cool | 12:27 |
| HewloThere_ | It's with Digital Ocean, which I'm sure many of you have heard of. =P | 12:27 |
| raichunator | Ben64, chrome does not play it it says it is not installed | 12:27 |
| iptable | HewloThere_, hacing all ports unblocked is a first issue already... | 12:27 |
| Ben64 | raichunator: chrome has its own built in flash player | 12:28 |
| HewloThere_ | Well, you can use all ports, you just have to set up firewall. | 12:28 |
| raichunator | Ben64, chromium sorry. so what can i do? | 12:28 |
| iptable | digital ocean ... so many people come here complain about it. | 12:28 |
| Ben64 | raichunator: you should try chrome, has a newer version of flash | 12:28 |

| jishjish | hi all, I've just bought and installed a new hdd. When I use the binary ";sblk" in the terminal it shows the computer detects the drive. So I installed gparted to partition it. When I go to add a partition table it asks for a "partition table type". GPT is default but I don't know which one I should use. I came from windows where the drive was form | 12:31 |
| jishjish | atted as ntfs and linux ext4 but I don't know anything about Partition Table Types on either system. | 12:31 |
| jishjish | I think GPT (the default selected for me ) is standard. | 12:31 |
| jishjish | Any idea on the partition table guys? | 12:33 |

| BluesKaj | jishjish,for what OS do you want to format the drive? | 12:35 |
| compdoc | jishjish, what size is the drive? | 12:35 |
| litropy | killall gimp-2.6 refuses to kill. What command can I run to kill it? | 12:35 |
| jishjish | compdoc its a seagate baracuda 3TB | 12:35 |
| jishjish | top | 12:35 |
| compdoc | jishjish, GPT is a good choice for large drives | 12:35 |
| raichunator | Ben64, Thank you it works | 12:35 |
| jishjish | litropy: top will show you processes running. and information about them. Then use the kill command. | 12:35 |
| raichunator | Ben64, with pepper | 12:36 |
| minimec | litropy: 'killall gimp'? check with 'pidof gimp' | 12:36 |
| HewloThere | What's the difference between aptitude and apt-get? | 12:36 |
| litropy | 20513 19026, jishjish, minimec | 12:37 |
| jishjish | compdoc: what's a good choice for small ones? I've never noticed this setting in gparted before for a partition table and ive reformated and repartitioned many times. | 12:37 |
| compdoc | jishjish, only two choices, really: msdos and gpt | 12:37 |
| litropy | minimec, jishjish kill 19026 && kill 20513 doesn't do anything | 12:37 |

| jishjish | litropy: try again, running the pidof and then kill commands. | 12:39 |
| HewloThere | I see... | 12:39 |
| HewloThere | Do they get from the same repository? | 12:39 |

| geirha | HewloThere: They all manage the same package system, yes. Installing a package with aptitude is no different than installing a package with apt-get | 12:40 |
| finnrobi | I just discovered that a few of my ubuntu servers are running outdated versions of the distro and I'm thinking I should set up monitoring of this, does anyone know if there's something relatively scriptable that I can do?

| HewloThere | Oooh. | 12:40 |
| litropy | thx | 12:40 |
| eeee | np | 12:41 |
| geirha | HewloThere: you can install a package with aptitude and remove it with apt-get, or install with apt-get and remove it with aptitude. Makes no difference. | 12:41 |
| HewloThere | iptable: Is it normal for my /etc/mailname file to only have my domain name it in? | 12:41 |
| OerHeks | finnrobi, you will find out when the server recieves no updates | 12:41 |

| jishjish | compdoc is there a particular linux file system type (i.e. ntfs ext4 ) that is good for storing media and photos? | 12:43 |
| finnrobi | OerHeks, jishjish: it seems like I should be able to use some of the scripts that are in /etc/update-motd.d/, for example 91-release-upgrade | 12:44 |
| HewloThere | I'm following this. http://iptable.co.uk/mw_linux_as_a_server.php#mail | 12:44 |
| compdoc | ext4 is great for linux systems, ntfs for windows | 12:44 |
| jishjish | compdoc: great thanks | 12:44 |
| eeee | finnrobi: you could have a cronjob that ran do-release-upgrade every once in a while and if it finds something emails you | 12:44 |
| compdoc | if you use ext4, and need a windows machine to access, then use samba. but if you need a windows machine to directly use it, go ntfs | 12:45 |
| HewloThere | geirha, , I'm following this. http://iptable.co.uk/mw_linux_as_a_server.php#mail | 12:45 |

I can't seem to restart X or anything other than a reboot to fix it... | 13:01 |
| granden | jParkton: Installed it now by enabling the universe repo. Thanks anyway for taking time. | 13:01 |
| jParkton | eh | 13:02 |

| v0lksman_ | k1l_: nope. while I do run dual (triple actually) I can move my mouse and the login box follows...just in some cases the input field isn't rendered | 13:07 |

| k1l_ | v0lksman_: "sudo service lightdm restart | 13:08 |
| k1l_ | its upstart actually | 13:08 |
| v0lksman_ | oh and the problem does happen with other versions of the driver and the nouveau drivers too | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | v0lksman_, iirc that's an experimental driver not included in the repos ..definitely not recommended | 13:09 |

| reisio | nrbrtx: probably because it's supposed to be remembered anyways, IIRC | 13:28 |
| raichunator | Can some one help me with permissions on my HDD. I have changed the label on my HDD. Steam can now see it, but it now needs execute permission to install apps. Can anyone help me ? | 13:28 |
| arcsky | hey my server got shutdown has that anything to do that i did apt-get upgrade && update earlier today? | 13:28 |
| OerHeks | raichunator, hdd is ntfs? | 13:28 |
| nrbrtx | <reisio>, it does not remembered by default. It remembered in systemd based distros, not Ubuntu. Also it is remembered after resuming from suspend, but it is not a solution. | 13:29 |
| reisio | obviously it doesn't for you :) | 13:29 |
| reisio | hence _supposed to_ | 13:30 |

| raichunator | OerHeks, Yes it is | 13:30 |
| reisio | mornin' | 13:30 |
| OerHeks | raichunator, ntfs is not poix, so it does not allow permissions like ext3/4 | 13:30 |
| OerHeks | *posix | 13:30 |
| OerHeks | turn it into ext 4 and you will be fine. | 13:31 |

| OerHeks | raichunator, yes | 13:32 |

| reisio | i42n: there is no difference | 13:34 |
| i42n | reisio: so this is just mapping to the same? | 13:34 |
| reisio | I believe ".utf8" is the new way, but they do the same thing | 13:34 |
| reisio | yeah, they probably got tired of people asking if it was utf-8 or utf8 | 13:35 |
| reisio | tl;dr: don't put hyphens in things you name | 13:35 |
| i42n | reisio: ok thanks | 13:35 |
| reisio | easily tested by setting either one, then the other | 13:35 |
| i42n | reisio: is just wanted to make sure that it does not mess things up because postgresql creates the default tempalte locale for new databases from this setting | 13:36 |

| i42n | I ran into that because I set the locale to en_US without the utf8 and therefore postgresql used latin1 | 13:36 |
| reisio | i42n: heh | 13:37 |
| reisio | i42n: locale -a | egrep -i 'en.us' | 13:37 |

| Mia | hello channel | 13:48 |
| Mia | I'm new to linux | 13:48 |
| jishjish | hello mia | 13:48 |
| Mia | what's the difference between sudo apt-get and apt-get | 13:48 |
| Mia | I mean, what's sudo in general | 13:48 |
| Vault108 | hello mia any one know whats up with my computer? for the past two days my laptop has been forceshutting down when it gets to like 50% | 13:48 |
| Mia | some tutorials mention sudo, to install packages | 13:48 |
| daftykins | !sudo | 13:49 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:49 |
| Mia | some dont | 13:49 |
| daftykins | Mia: ^ | 13:49 |
| jishjish | sudo involkes root permissions which is like special or administrator permissions | 13:49 |
| zaggynl | 13:49 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 13:49 |
| daftykins | Mia: that's because it's not always needed. | 13:49 |
| zaggynl | Work on your google-fu Mia ;-) | 13:49 |

| zaggynl | I told her to work on her google-fu | 13:50 |
| JCT | i will put in the command lines with && to download it | 13:50 |
| daftykins | Mia: when it doesn't work and you didn't use it, you needed to use it. | 13:50 |
| k1l_ | Mia: if you dont know why it needs sudo dont give it sudo | 13:50 |
| Mia | :D | 13:50 |
| Mia | Perfect answers | 13:50 |
| Snake2k | Ubuntu > Life | 13:50 |
| Mia | thank you very much <3 | 13:50 |
| JCT | i'm putting in the commands | 13:50 |
| jishjish | mia I believe sudo is used for administrator privelige like when installing a program. Most of the time though type the command without it. And terminal will tell you if you need sudo permissions to run it. | 13:50 |
| Urist_ | hello... anyone here has experience setting up bittorrent sync on a headless machine? | 13:51 |
| k1l_ | Mia: its an old and bad windows habbit to run everything with admin rights. you dont need that in 99% of the times. its part of the security setup to not use sudo all the time | 13:51 |
| zaggynl | Urist_: look into rtorrent and rtgui | 13:51 |
| codebanshee | Mia: things that need sudo will often generate "Permission denied" errors if you try and run them without it - or will say "you need to be root to do that" | 13:51 |
| Urist_ | ty zaggynl | 13:51 |
| Mia | thank you very much for all those answers | 13:51 |
| JCT | i will process the command line for zandronum now. | 13:51 |
| h00k | Urist_: Also Deluge can do it, and Transmission has a web interface as well | 13:51 |
| zaggynl | why is it so bad to tell people to google things | 13:52 |
| jishjish | k1l_: it's not a good habit to tell someone if they don't know something like sudo not to use it otherwise people like myself and mia will never learn to use it. Mia as daftykins said. Get in the habit of running commands without it (most don't need) and you will be prompted and therefore learn as you go whats commands need sudo permissions and wha | 13:52 |
| jishjish | t don't. | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | !google | zaggynl | 13:52 |
| Urist_ | sorry zaggynl and h00k , I mean bt sync, not just a torrent client | 13:52 |

| Safiyyah_ | I was trying to do a new install of Ubuntu and I also added a new hard drive, initially I forgot to connect it to the power supply and when I did that, the computer won't turn on anymore at all. Did I blow the power up. | 13:56 |
| dalekusa | I started up my computer today, and it came up with this: http://imgur.com/IOXwYpS | 13:56 |
| dev_neoren_ | i see...love the famework and limitations | 13:56 |
| Safiyyah_ | I already went back and unplugged the new hard divide but still it's dead | 13:56 |
| Fuchs | dev_neoren_: for more generic IRC stuff: see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml and the links on it (the other thing is partially specific to ubuntu channels. Note that some channels have different guidelines, e.g. about off-topic banter, NSFW or other things) | 13:57 |
| * dalekusa worked fie yesterday | 13:57 | |
| dalekusa | fine | 13:57 |
| daftykins | Safiyyah_: this is more of an off topic hardware question, #ubuntu-uk would be better though. | 13:57 |
| dev_neoren_ | wish we could revise those.... | 13:57 |
| somsip | dev_neoren_: join #ubuntu-ops for suggestions/discussion | 13:58 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: are you familiar with the BIOS? check if that artefacting exists over the BIOS image too | 13:58 |
| dalekusa | like the image that appears right as the boot starts? | 13:58 |
| dev_neoren_ | fascinating....love how there is an answer for everything | 13:58 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: yes, and has a keypress to enter the BIOS setup screen | 13:59 |
| k1l_ | dev_neoren_: do you have an technical ubuntu support issue? else we try to keep this channel clear for the users who need support. thanks | 13:59 |
| dalekusa | f10... | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | Safiyyah_, reconnect the HDD , and is this an additional drive to an existing one? | 13:59 |
| dalekusa | no artifacting | 13:59 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: leave it on for a few minutes just in case. now, presumably you saw the image you took after it started to boot from the hard disk... did you see the boot logo still? | 14:00 |
| dev_neoren_ | i think just figured it out....ta | 14:00 |
| dalekusa | That was after the boot had finished | 14:00 |
| dev_neoren_ | thanks y'all | 14:01 |
| dalekusa | but the artifacting started about 15-20 seconds, so I suppose it began when the splash was supposed to appear/ | 14:01 |
| dalekusa | . | 14:01 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: ok, confirm for a couple of minutes that you don't see the same in the setup screen, hit ctrl+alt+del to restart, let it boot back in and at that image, press ctrl+alt+F1 and see if you get a command line login (TTY) | 14:01 |
| dalekusa | We have signal! | 14:02 |
| dalekusa | it works now | 14:02 |
| dalekusa | wonder what might have happened? | 14:02 |
| ObrienDave | not pressing keys hard enough? ;P | 14:03 |
| dalekusa | I didn't even have to press ctrl-alt-f1 | 14:03 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: just a bad boot then, how odd | 14:04 |
| lmat | I'm using compiz, but I need a new feature. the Shift Switcher should be able to show up on *both* outputs (not just "On activated output" or "one big switcher"). | 14:04 |
| daftykins | dalekusa: i'd have expected you'd try again before coming in here ;) | 14:04 |
| dalekusa | a couple of them in a row, how even odder | 14:04 |
| megaloden | Hello all, I need help in installing Wordpress locally ON Ubuntu 14.04 | 14:05 |
| daftykins | megaloden: their guide is pretty detailed. where are you getting stuck? | 14:05 |
| oleole | How can I transfer one network configuration to another computer? I have tried copying /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/CONFIGFILE to the same location on the other computer.. But I can’t see it in the network manager (even after reboot).. So it looks like I’m missing a file or something | 14:06 |
| megaloden | I done sudo apt-get lamp-server^ and sudo apt-get phpmyadmin. daftykins it just isn't working | 14:06 |
| daftykins | megaloden: what does "isn't working" mean? you can't see apache's test page when visiting http://localhost/ ? or what? | 14:06 |
| maxvi | how can I convert dxf file to png/jpg via console? | 14:06 |
| reisio | maxvi: possibly with imagemagick's 'convert' | 14:07 |
| megaloden | like for during install of myphpadmin, its ask for some admin password and i put it in. Now when I run it, the password isn't working. Apache2 is working 127.0.1.1 | 14:07 |
| reisio | convert foo.dxf bar.png | 14:07 |
| megaloden | daftykins: test page is working. | 14:07 |
| megaloden | thats about it | 14:07 |
| daftykins | megaloden: phpymadmin isn't necessary to get it running. | 14:07 |
| megaloden | ok will sudo purge it | 14:07 |
| megaloden | awesome, I can't even purge it peacefully. I put in the password and I get this, "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using | 14:08 |
| megaloden | │ password: YES) " daftykins | 14:08 |
| daftykins | megaloden: share exactly what you ran and the output properly via http://paste.ubuntu.com | 14:09 |
| megaloden | abort abort ... its supposedly uninstalled now. | 14:09 |
| DexterSkull | hello there! when i tried to boot Ubuntu 14.04 after installation it came to a halt and after waiting for 10 or so minutes i pressed 'Esc' key to get out of there. But i found this line being displayed there: "Starting cups-browsed Bonjour remote printer browsing daemon [ok]". | 14:09 |
| DexterSkull | What could be the issue. | 14:09 |
| somsip | megaloden: thats a mysql error FWIW | 14:09 |
| megaloden | sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin . Done. | 14:09 |
| daftykins | megaloden: i want to see real output, not just what you tell me | 14:10 |
| megaloden | ok | 14:10 |
| megaloden | 2sec | 14:10 |
| megaloden | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8472939/ | 14:10 |

| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, just ask your question | 14:12 |
| MagicSpud | hello I am back again...there is no way I can install the nvidia-340 driver recommended in ubuntu-drivers devices. | 14:12 |
| DexterSkull | okay, cfhowlett | 14:12 |
| megaloden | its basically ubuntu 14.04. | 14:12 |
| daftykins | BluesKaj: DexterSkull had already, it was in one screen of scrollback. | 14:12 |
| megaloden | Ok | 14:12 |
| daftykins | no, it's not | 14:12 |
| h00k | megaloden: but its not, | 14:12 |
| OerHeks | mint has its own issues. | 14:12 |
| cfhowlett | megaloden, it's not. use the mint channels for mint support please. you'll get better results. | 14:13 |

| MagicSpud | this is what I do: sudo service lightdm stop sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau sudo apt-get purge nvidia* sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 then it starts installing but at some point an error comes up: error could not open directory /lib/modules/3.5.0.18-generic | 14:14 |

| daftykins | MagicSpud: can you share the result of "cat /etc/issue" ? | 14:17 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins yes desktop | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, did you do a md5sum check of the ubuntu image before insd | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | installing\ | 14:18 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 14:18 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: "uname -r" ? | 14:18 |
| daftykins | dev_neoren_: partitioning correctly doesn't protect you against needing to backup. | 14:19 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins: 3.5.0-18-generic | 14:19 |
| DexterSkull | BluesKaj, i'm a newbie to all these things. so the answer is 'no i didn't' | 14:19 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins: there is more: I have no sound | 14:19 |
| dev_neoren_ | true...in the event that a reinstall of os is required then | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | DexterSkull, always md5sum your .iso. | 14:20 |
| ubottu | DexterSkull, always md5sum your .iso.: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:20 |
| DexterSkull | i couldn't, indeed. BluesKaj | 14:20 |
| DexterSkull | but how can I?, BluesKaj | 14:20 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins after the upgrade the sound config says dumb's output and I cant choose between digital or hd as I did on ubuntu 12.04 | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 14:21 |
| DexterSkull | i actually installed Ubuntu using WUBI, BluesKaj, cfhowlett | 14:22 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: we're talking about graphics drivers, not sound | 14:22 |
| arjun_k | what i the status of 14.04? | 14:22 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins whichever problem you like | 14:22 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: your upgrade didn't work properly, 3.13 is the kernel of 14.04 | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | !wubi | DexterSkull | 14:22 |
| ubottu | DexterSkull: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug | 14:22 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins though I d like to fix graphics first | 14:22 |
| cfhowlett | DexterSkull, bad news there ... wubi is dead, no longer supported and was only ever more of a PITA thana success. | 14:22 |
| arjun_k | Which is the most reliable ubuntu version? means bug free. | 14:22 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins oh okay | 14:22 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: there's something wrong with your install, i'd backup and clean install 14.04.1 personally. no telling what's gone wrong in your upgrade. | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, so did you try to install 14.04 in wubi or 12.04? | 14:23 |
| DexterSkull | 14.04 it was, BluesKaj | 14:24 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins I upgraded using a burnt cd ubuntu 14.04 iso and just installed partitions on the previous partition table without formating... | 14:24 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: that's not enough | 14:24 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins it all went smooth I only needed to reinstall some programs but this driver is a crap | 14:24 |
| chrisss123456 | hey guys anyone have experience with github pulls? | 14:25 |
| maxvi | reisio: convert doesn't work with dxf format | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, that's why it didn't install properly , wubi doesn't support 14.04 and wubi is just a folder inside windows. it's not a proper Ubuntu installation | 14:25 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins not enough? | 14:25 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: well you're on the wrong kernel and you're doing things like purging nouveau which is totally unnecessary. i'm sorry but there's something up with your install, you should be on a 3.13 kernel not 3.5 | 14:25 |
| [jasper] | hej guys, how can i see what devices linux sees connected to usb? | 14:25 |
| DexterSkull | what should i do now, BluesKaj, cfhowlett | 14:25 |
| daftykins | [jasper]: lsusb | 14:26 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins and the best choice is to obliterate the system? | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | !gparted |DexterSkull | 14:26 |
| ubottu | DexterSkull: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 14:26 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins I already made some concessions when upgrading loosing some databases... | 14:27 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: well, how much of your own time do you want to lose to this? | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | DexterSkull, use gparted to setup a proper linux partition for ubuntu | 14:27 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins is really that hard to upgrade the kernel? | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | especailly if you want to also keep windows, DexterSkull | 14:28 |
| DexterSkull | Thanks everyone. I come back here if anything went wrong again. | 14:28 |
| reisio | maxvi: http://www.google.com/search?q="dxf2svg" | 14:28 |
| eeee | MagicSpud: you might have a frankenbuntu | 14:28 |
| MagicSpud | eeee lol | 14:28 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: it's not the only issue, it's apparent that you have way more little issues that are likely only beginning to surface. just backup, do it right, then you'll be in the best position to use the computer long-term. | 14:29 |
| MagicSpud | daftkins hmmm okay... | 14:29 |
| MagicSpud | daftkins how do I do it? | 14:29 |
| MagicSpud | daftkins: can I keep home partition? | 14:30 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: got an external hard disk or multiple hard disks in this PC? | 14:30 |
| daftykins | use tab to complet my nickname :P | 14:30 |
| daftykins | oops complete | 14:30 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins yep two internal hdd and one external and a usb pendrive | 14:30 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: so copy anything you want from your /home/username onto an external, then totally clean install from 14.04.1 media, including formatting | 14:31 |
| [jasper] | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8473020/ .. which device do you think is my receiver? | 14:31 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: /home can contain old configs that cause problems, so i wouldn't restore things 100%. | 14:31 |
| daftykins | [jasper]: i can think of many different types of receivers, can you be more specific? | 14:32 |
| whitesn | anyone got black screen booting into 14.10 after installing? | 14:32 |
| daftykins | !utopic | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) is the next development release of Ubuntu due for release in October 2014. Support in #ubuntu+1. For more info, see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1363 | 14:32 |
| daftykins | whitesn: wrong channel. | 14:32 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins....that is not precisely rocket science... | 14:32 |
| whitesn | daftykins: o, sorry.. which channel should i go to? | 14:32 |
| daftykins | MagicSpud: you're going to have to be a bit more specific about what you're saying. | 14:32 |
| daftykins | whitesn: see above where it explains exactly that | 14:33 |
| MagicSpud | daftykins thanks | 14:33 |

| camtron | Is it possible to find out the root password and log in as root or use the su command in Ubuntu? | 14:39 |
| daftykins | camtron: never use su, there is no root password, run "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" - "man sudo" for more info | 14:40 |
| imbezol | camtron: by default there's no root password. you can set one | 14:40 |
| daftykins | imbezol: we do not advise that, please don't suggest it | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | !password | camtron | 14:41 |
| ubottu | camtron: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 14:41 |
| imbezol | daftykins: weird. you never become root? | 14:42 |
| daftykins | imbezol: i'm asking you not to suggest people set a password for root, that goes against the entire security mechanism of ubuntu. | 14:42 |
| OerHeks | daftykins +1 | 14:42 |
| imbezol | i didn't suggest it.. i just answered his question as asked | 14:42 |
| daftykins | you gave bad advice, please don't feel offended | 14:43 |
| daftykins | i'm just asking that you don't share that idea :) | 14:43 |
| __unik | daftykins: what? you mean there shouldn't be a password for root? | 14:43 |
| imbezol | you don't know what he's doing.. maybe he has a script that requires it | 14:43 |
| imbezol | daftykins: or maybe he's doing a hundred commands and doesn't want to have to bind a key to type "sudo" every time :) | 14:43 |
| daftykins | imbezol: and i'd still say it's a bad idea. | 14:43 |
| theadmin | __unik: Ubuntu has the root account disabled completely by default. | 14:43 |
| imbezol | no it doesn't | 14:44 |
| daftykins | imbezol: right, which is why i said use "sudo -i" or similar, if you read my response. perhaps you've never used it? | 14:44 |
| theadmin | __unik: Which is a good thing, because sudo provides better ways to manage admin access. | 14:44 |
| theadmin | BSD-style! | 14:44 |
| __unik | theadmin: yes, I am confused. sorry | 14:44 |
| __unik | thanks for info | 14:44 |
| OerHeks | imbezol, for that purpose, sudo -i # will grant you sudo/root priv for the whole session | 14:44 |
| guardianpwr08 | Hello, I am trying to get Google 2 step auth working with 12.04.... I have a topic up at askubuntu.com - http://askubuntu.com/questions/531013/installing-google-2-step-authentication-causes-ssh-to-not-connect | 14:46 |
| === king is now known as Guest50110 | ||
| theadmin | ooh, this looks interesting | 14:47 |
| === jnoob22 is now known as Harlin | ||
| arthurfiggis | imbezol: sudo -i or sudo su - (the one i tend to use :) ) will both allow you to run commands as root without doing the sudo bit each time...i'm sure you could set a root password as there's nothing stopping you, but people here recommend against it (i think) because it could wind up breaking something that doesn't need to be fixed :) | 14:49 |
| arthurfiggis | it's certainly necessary to set a root password under other distributions but Ubuntu tries to walk around that by passing everything through sudo...it's a bit different but it works well once you get used to the difference! | 14:50 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: sudo su does bad things, don't ever advise it or use it :) | 14:51 |
| theadmin | daftykins: "su" and "su -" are quite different. | 14:51 |
| daftykins | i saw the hyphen as being grammatical rather than command | 14:51 |
| somsip | http://askubuntu.com/questions/376199/sudo-su-vs-sudo-i-vs-sudo-bin-bash-when-does-it-matter-which-is-used | 14:52 |
| imbezol | arthurfiggis: understood.. protecting new users etc etc... i prefer learn by trial and error but i'll be quiet and let them offer advise as they see fit | 14:52 |
| eeee | imbezol: having no root is a security enhancement | 14:53 |
| Flaiker | hello, after installing ubuntu on a hdd my ssd with windows cannot boot on its own anymore, only after loading grub from the hdd. I get "Reboot and select proper boot device" if I put my ssd as first boot disk in bios. I guess I need to restore my windows bootloader? | 14:54 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: sorry about that, what i meant as a whole line was "sudo su -" but if that's considered bad too I won't even mention it :) | 14:54 |
| eeee | as in somebody has to guess your username if he wanted to bruteforce a pass for instance | 14:54 |
| harovali | hi, openprinting.org is down and I can't apt-get update, is there a mirror ? | 14:54 |
| __unik | Flaiker: Why don't just use GRUB?> | 14:54 |
| imbezol | eeee: yeah i get it. try disabling root ssh logins | 14:55 |
| arthurfiggis | imbezol: oh, there's nothing wrong with learning by trial and error! as long as you're prepared to deal with the inevitable "error" part :) that's why people here will advise against things that might disrupt your system so to speak | 14:55 |
| imbezol | eeee: or just use a password that's sufficiently complex | 14:55 |

| Flaiker | __unik, I want to wipe that hdd to put windows 10 preview on there, so my windows 8.1 system should be able to boot on its own before that | 14:55 |
| daftykins | you're welcome to do what you want with your own systems, but we have new users here. | 14:56 |
| hossam | hi | 14:56 |
| theadmin | Flaiker: Woah, I do not advice to install a Preview version of Windows on physical hardware. Use Virtualbox. | 14:56 |
| OerHeks | harovali, nope | 14:56 |
| hossam | what is better 14.04 vs 13.10 ? | 14:56 |
| daftykins | 13.10 is EOL, unsupported | 14:56 |
| daftykins | you can't use it. | 14:56 |
| somsip | hossam: 13.10 is unsupported, so 14.04 | 14:56 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: no worries, i did read it wrong as i don't know the differnce with - personally, it's a little too close to a bad practice one :) | 14:57 |
| __unik | Flaiker: sorry I don't use windows 8, I don't know how the windows 8 bootloader work. | 14:57 |
| === dannixon_ is now known as Guest70073 | ||
| eeee | Flaiker: if the cd is bootable, it'll boot, it has nothing to do with windows8 | 14:58 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: well that's true, apart from the - it could be very dangerous indeed :) i wasn't aware of sudo -i otherwise i'd probably have been using that myself from the start! | 14:58 |
| Flaiker | theadmin: I would, but since that hdd is just laying around there anyways I thought I might as well. Also I want to get this fixed, as of right now I cannot remove the hdd as it contains grub | 14:58 |
| eeee | Flaiker: so test it, then delete the windows8, you could probably use the installer's partitioning tool to do so | 14:59 |
| chrisss123456 | any github users out? | 14:59 |
| eeee | Flaiker: nevermind, i thought you're trying to replace win8 with win10 on the same hdd | 14:59 |
| __unik | eeee: lol I don't think deleting windows 8 is a way to TEST | 14:59 |
| Grimlock1182 | helo people.. | 15:00 |
| somsip | chrisss123456: does this question have an ubuntu angle? | 15:00 |
| cfhowlett | ! win 10 ??? | 15:00 |
| ubottu | cfhowlett: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:00 |
| eeee | __unik: no i said test if the cd is bootable, if it is, then he can go ahead and delete win8 as i thought he wanted | 15:00 |
| Flaiker | yea, win 8 is kind of like my daily driver system and I just installed ubuntu to take a lookg at it which kind of ruined my normal bootloader | 15:00 |
| Flaiker | ^^ | 15:00 |
| theadmin | cfhowlett: Microsoft skipped Windows 9, yes... Windows 10 is the new version. | 15:00 |
| theadmin | logic = nullptr | 15:01 |
| arthurfiggis | theadmin: or Windows 2 if you're counting in binary :P They should be on schedule for a Windows for Workgroups release in 2018 | 15:03 |
| monkeynutts | hey guys | 15:04 |
| theadmin | arthurfiggis: I think they are just avoiding confusion with Windows 9x in this manner. Either way, 'tis offtopic, if you want to further ramble about that you can PM me though | 15:04 |
| monkeynutts | can anybody explain or point me in the right direction as to why on ubuntu 14.04 lts server i see lots and lots od RUCOS processes | 15:05 |
| monkeynutts | what is an RUC0S process ? | 15:05 |
| arthurfiggis | theadmin: oh sorry, that's pretty much all i had to say about it, just a silly one-off joke :) ubuntu support in here and all, if i have anything else clever to say about it i'll say it in the off-topic channel...admittedly i don't though, that was pretty much it ;) | 15:05 |
| SchrodingersScat | what is rucos? | 15:05 |
| monkeynutts | my question exactly | 15:05 |
| somsip | monkeynutts: rcuos actually | 15:06 |
| monkeynutts | my bad rucos | 15:06 |
| Slart | monkeynutts: this seems relevant... http://askubuntu.com/questions/523025/top-showing-a-bunch-of-rcuos-processes | 15:06 |
| monkeynutts | yes i googled that answer too | 15:07 |
| monkeynutts | but not much in the way of details | 15:07 |
| superbia | how can i close a program using "panel on the left side", instead of of using the top panel | 15:07 |
| eeee | superbia: when you say top panel? you mean the window? | 15:08 |
| theadmin | superbia: Right click the icon, "Close all windows" | 15:08 |
| arthurfiggis | an rcuos process...that's the first time i've ever heard the term actually, although running top on my own system shows plenty of them as well :) i'll have to look up what it actually is before i can figure out why there'd be a bunch of them | 15:08 |
| Slart | monkeynutts: this is a bit more detailed.. apparently it manages memory that should be synced between cpu's/kernels or something like that http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80063/understanding-rcu-when-configuring-the-linux-kernel | 15:08 |
| superbia | eeee, right | 15:08 |
| superbia | id like to close and minimize using left panel | 15:08 |
| eeee | superbia: so you want to close something with the launcher in unity | 15:09 |
| monkeynutts | thanks, im looking at that article now | 15:09 |
| superbia | eeee, minimize :) | 15:09 |
| maimster | Has anyone updated 13.10 desktop, to 14.04 LTS desktop? The 12.04 LTS server updates were pieces of cake. | 15:09 |
| eeee | ok close is as theadmin pointed out, to minimize install compiz settings manager, and in unity enable the launcher minimize by clicking feature | 15:09 |

| monkeynutts | i have a hp proliant d320 gen 8 server, its exporting an nfs volume and doing an rsync. load is at 6,6,6 | 15:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | daftykins: was one of my favorites | 15:10 |
| monkeynutts | which appears really high to me, but looks like the rcuos has nothing to do with it | 15:10 |
| monkeynutts | just never seen this on a server build before | 15:10 |
| arthurfiggis | maimster: this is just my personal experience, but i've never found that upgrading between one release to another has gone completely smoothly...usually i wind up installing the new release fresh and then restoring my backed-up files :) that doesn't mean you'll have the same trouble though, for all i know i might have been doing something wrong! | 15:10 |
| maimster | somsip: Thanks. | 15:11 |
| chro | hi! Anyone knows how the at command works to send mails with the output of scheduled jobs? I mean, how can I specify my email to receive something after the job is executed? | 15:11 |
| maimster | arthurfiggis: Yeah I pretty much feel like you do. | 15:12 |
| eeee | chro: i think that has to do with sending the mail with output from your command, not at | 15:12 |
| Wulframn | arthurfiggis: that was always my experience as well | 15:12 |
| === JDMD is now known as Aaron | ||
| chro | eeee, I think you are mistaken, because you can specify the -m flag with at to send email | 15:12 |
| maimster | arthurfiggis: Actually I didn't really have this install all that long anyway. | 15:13 |
| arthurfiggis | maimster: of course sometimes you have to upgrade, like if the server you're working with is at a remote location :) i should note that my experience there is not limited to ubuntu so i'm not singling it out, upgrading between releases of practically every distro i've used has been a bit fuzzy at best and usually broke a ton of things...but i haven't tried it at all in the past few years, so... | 15:13 |
| arthurfiggis | ...there might well have been improvements on that front :) | 15:13 |
| somsip | chro: are you thinking of a local user or a remote user? | 15:13 |
| chro | somsip, I just want to receive the output in a certain email address that I specify | 15:14 |
| maimster | arthurfiggis: Again that's my feeling as well. I'll take this old girl down this weekend. At least the upgrade prompts will go. | 15:14 |
| arthurfiggis | maimster: i think that'd probably be the best way to do it personally...again, just from my experience :) a little bit of downtime is worth it when you don't have to deal with accidentally broken dependencies, fudged scripts and the like! | 15:15 |
| Mia | how can I create a conf file in ubuntu | 15:17 |
| Mia | (for nginx) | 15:17 |
| somsip | chro: the only answer I find merely suggests you need a functioning sendmail http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/55395/is-there-a-program-that-can-send-me-a-notification-e-mail-when-a-process-finishe | 15:17 |
| Fuchs | Mia: most of them are just text files, so you can just create it with any editor (graphical or CLI, such as nano or vim), or use the touch command. | 15:18 |
| Mia | Fuchs, tyvm | 15:19 |
| Aaron | !next | 15:19 |
| Aaron | xD | 15:19 |
| Fuchs | you're welcome | 15:19 |
| chro | thanks a lot somsip :) | 15:20 |
| somsip | chro: np | 15:20 |
| arthurfiggis | ahh...RCU seems to be for synchronizing data across multiple-core processors or multiple processors for that matter :) makes sense that you'd see a good few of those processes in top then, probably more of them depending on how many cores/cpu's you're working with | 15:21 |
| arthurfiggis | (can't remember who asked about that, I just happened to read it in one of the links posted a little while ago) | 15:21 |

| chro | what's the simplest program to read my email from the command line? | 15:36 |
| somsip | chro: mail, pine, alpine, mutt | 15:37 |
| arthurfiggis | chro: i tend to use one called mutt, it's pretty easy to deal with :) | 15:37 |
| imbezol | chro: it makes a different whether you're using .maildir or Mailbox too | 15:37 |
| imbezol | chro: for .maildir mutt is probably your best bet | 15:37 |
| Slart | chro: I don't think it gets any easier than "mail".. | 15:37 |
| imbezol | chro: though perhaps not the simplest :) | 15:37 |
| Slart | chro: but that is "easy" as in "no extra features" not easy as in makes your life easier | 15:38 |
| maraneta | hey guys, if log in as root, is there a way to cd to the user home directory without having to explicitly hardcode the username? | 15:39 |

| somsip | maraneta: imbezol gave you the answer. But you should probably let users manage their own aliases for virtualenv enabling. | 15:42 |
| imbezol | somsip: heh.. looks like alphine was superceeded too.. by re-alpine | 15:42 |

| there_is_no_spoo | They are all part of the same album. I can't seem to right click them all in the folder and change the album like you can in Windows | 16:07 |

| cappe_ | it's security | 16:35 |
| k1l_ | cappe_: ?! | 16:35 |
| cappe_ | it's a "jail"-alike environment, right? | 16:36 |
| AlexPortable | k1l_: well i want to install mate on ubuntu | 16:36 |
| k1l_ | cappe_: i think you got that idea quite wrong. at least as how i understand your setup | 16:36 |
| cappe_ | glxgears gives me "could not open display 0:0 | 16:36 |

| ikonia | why are you installing it within a chroot | 16:39 |
| z3n_code | Ok thnks | 16:40 |
| cappe_ | well, maybe I should try installing nouveau | 16:41 |
| ikonia | cappe_: why are you not installin the graphics drivers normally | 16:41 |
| ikonia | why are you installing it within a chroot | 16:41 |
| AlexPortable | i want to install mate on ubuntu. should i use ubuntu or netbook image? | 16:41 |
| cappe_ | since I think it's safer to be in another filehirarchy. where nobody can reach into all my files | 16:42 |
| ikonia | cappe_: that makes no sense | 16:42 |
| ikonia | cappe_: these are system files that cannot have anything done with thatm unless they have super user privileges | 16:42 |
| ikonia | what the devil are you doing using chroots | 16:42 |

| i42n | How can I do that? | 16:43 |
| xangua | AlexPortable: if you can wait a little longer, next ubuntu release there will be a mate flavor | 16:43 |
| AlexPortable | k1l_: netboot i mean | 16:43 |
| AlexPortable | xangua: yes there is, but not LTS. i want LTS | 16:43 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: either you go with minimal image and install mate. or you install the full version and install the mate desktop | 16:43 |
| AlexPortable | k1l_: yeah well which one is better? | 16:44 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: i explained already that you dont want the netbook one. | 16:44 |
| i42n | Do I have to manually set all the parameters? | 16:44 |
| AlexPortable | k1l_: well this website recommends it https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/2014-08-ubuntu-mate-14-04-from-scratch/ | 16:44 |
| k1l_ | !netboot | AlexPortable please see what stuff you need to setup to make a netboot install and then you will understand you dont want it | 16:44 |

| AlexPortable | so my best option would be ubuntu 14.04 + mate? | 16:46 |
| AlexPortable | also how can i reinstall the load scren of ubuntu | 16:46 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: you can use the mini iso. netboot is a technic you dont want | 16:47 |
| compdoc | ubuntu 14.04 server + mate | 16:47 |
| k1l_ | yes, server install + mate is the best option, imho | 16:47 |
| ObrienDave | how so? | 16:47 |
| AlexPortable | k1l_: well i meant mini | 16:47 |
| AlexPortable | but is the mini LTS? | 16:47 |
| ObrienDave | 14.04, yes | 16:48 |

| cappe_ | I have told you alrady | 16:48 |

| ikonia | cappe_: your reason for using a chroot are not real | 16:49 |
| k1l_ | cappe_: that is not going to work the way you hope. | 16:49 |
| cappe_ | it's a jail-alike system | 16:49 |

| ubottu | cappe_: Package capi2 does not exist in trusty | 16:50 |
| ikonia | cappe_: if you are doing this custom secure system - you should know the basics of how to install a package | 16:50 |

| cappe_ | fine | 16:52 |
| cappe_ | ok I trust u | 16:52 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: server install doesnt have a gui. so if you install mate afterwards its a plain mate-ubuntu | 16:52 |
| AlexPortable | well but it includes some ssh packages i think | 16:52 |
| AlexPortable | ssh-server, apache2, no? | 16:52 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: ssh-server yes, apache no | 16:52 |
| k1l_ | AlexPortable: at least not if you dont tell the installer to install that | 16:53 |

| eeee | samthewildone: no idea about without firefox, but i think the minimalcd install asks you what you want to install | 17:46 |
| samthewildone | I tried the installation via vm and it worked fine but, seems like evolution and firefox were tied to the core of gnome 3 | 17:46 |

| dhaval2712 | Yeah, I understand. If I'm not mistaken, it uses a file that it mounts with NTLDR and then boots from that. This is pure sorcery, right? | 18:13 |
| dhaval2712 | eeee: I disagree. MAYBE, just maybe, if I can mount the disk, I can chroot into it normally. | 18:15 |

| peppevpn | via router | 20:55 |
| peppevpn | wifi | 20:55 |
| antivirtel | hmm... that's great lbeckman :) | 20:55 |
| peppevpn | but i manage to connect through mac os x | 20:55 |
| antivirtel | but shouldn't it be 1024? | 20:55 |
| sourkraut | peppevpn: so the firewall in the router could not be the problem | 20:55 |
| peppevpn | sourkraut: no | 20:56 |
| sourkraut | peppevpn: do you have the same adress range on the mac and ubuntu machine? | 20:56 |
| lbeckman | antivirtel: yes prob true, at least gets you close. may need to tweak the line a bit to get exactly what you want. | 20:56 |
| peppevpn | yes | 20:57 |

| samthewildone | The installation goes through but, for some reason (2nd time) when I reboot to the terminal and try to update or anything it says failed or error to fetch | 21:06 |
| leif_erikson | @samthewildone My last ubuntu install the network stopped working and I fixed it by reinstalling the Intel lan driver. | 21:07 |
| samthewildone | leif_erikson, how do I install without network connection ? | 21:07 |
| leif_erikson | Your situation may be way different than mine though. | 21:07 |
| leif_erikson | Copy it to a flash drive from another computer | 21:07 |
| samthewildone | copy wut ? | 21:07 |
| leif_erikson | The network driver | 21:07 |
| samthewildone | where can I get it ? | 21:07 |
| leif_erikson | Are you trying to use wifi or ethernet | 21:08 |
| samthewildone | either | 21:08 |
| leif_erikson | Do you know what company made your internet hardware? | 21:08 |

| samthewildone | daftykins, lo , em1, wlan0 | 21:12 |
| daftykins | hmm interesting name | 21:12 |
| WodgeyD | samthewildone lo is just the local loopback address. you need the ethX wlanX p1p1 interfaces. | 21:12 |
| samthewildone | WodgeyD, how do I get them ? | 21:12 |
| WodgeyD | samthewildone firstly, I am only a noob myslef! however. I would edit the /etc/network/interfaces file | 21:13 |
| WodgeyD | and give the ethX a static ip address | 21:13 |

| squinty | daftykins, np at all. am involved in other things too right now so an extra hand is great. :) | 21:39 |

| k1l_ | kaithlin: backbox is not supported in here. please see the backbox support | 21:41 |
| squinty | kaithlin, if you type an exclamation mark plus the word upgrade, the instructions are displayed in your irc client !upgrade and !eol | 21:41 |
| kaithlin | okay I will do, I am willing to lose my data to learn linux :) :) :) | 21:42 |
| k1l_ | kaithlin: download a ubuntu 14.04.1 and install that. than you can come here and get support. | 21:43 |

| ahklerner | hello, i am on ubuntu server with grub2. when i boot i get a bunch of gibberish. if i do advanced mode on boot and edit the startup removing a line, the text is no longer gibberish. where can i update the grub config so i do not have to manually go into advanced and edit the boot options every time | 22:25 |
| onryo | ahklerner im on debian but it should be the same with Ubuntu /etc/default/grub | 22:27 |
| samthewildone | how do I disable the annoying network check state for ubuntu ? | 22:27 |
| onryo | ahklerner once you make your changes just sudo update-grub | 22:29 |
| onryo | samthewildone check state? | 22:29 |
| ahklerner | i am doing that now, thanks. | 22:29 |
| ahklerner | that seems to be the grub options, i am looking for the options that are passed on to the os | 22:31 |
| onryo | ahklerner you want to pass a cmd at boot? | 22:31 |
| ahklerner | like i can see the grub infos fine, it (seems to be) ubuntu loading some gfx driver or something | 22:32 |
| ahklerner | this pc is OOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD | 22:32 |
| samthewildone | onryo, everytime I boot up ubuntu it takes about 2 minutes checking network state... | 22:32 |
| samthewildone | actually it take more than 2 minutes | 22:33 |
| samthewildone | How do I disable network checking from the startup ? | 22:33 |
| ahklerner | /etc/network/interfaces, you can comment out any physical interfaces you do not use ? | 22:33 |
| ahklerner | onryo: here is what i have to do to be able to read the infos(after grub) on boot | 22:35 |
| ahklerner | on grub screen - choose Advanced options for ubuntu | 22:35 |
| ahklerner | press e | 22:35 |
| ahklerner | delete the line that says gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode | 22:36 |
| ahklerner | press f10 | 22:36 |
| onryo | ahklerner sounds like gdm or w/e ubuntu uses as its device manager. I would have a look at " sudo cat /var/log/kern.log |grep gfx " | 22:37 |

| ahklerner | there is one, i have tried commenting, changing to 640X480, 800X600, running the update grub each time | 22:44 |
| ytain | compdoc explain the "put everything back the way it is"? it's impossible to revert the updates that occured 2 days ago before shutting it down | 22:44 |

| ahklerner | i am doing the update initramfs now, will see hopefully that fixes my issue | 22:46 |
| compdoc | ytain, and after it boots up, you have a low rez display? | 22:47 |
| ahklerner | nope it is still gibberish | 22:47 |
| ahklerner | its actually like stretched or something | 22:48 |

| ytain | compdoc, I have an external monitor connected to the laptop, a FHD monitor. This setup worked just fine before this problem started. No low res display, the laptop screen is 1366x768 and it keeps showing the dialog window reporting the "low graphics mode". I can get to the terminal mode by using Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login as usual and using startx command and it loads the desktop, but the performance is slow and the compiz is somewhat disabled, m | 22:50 |
| ytain | eaning the status bar is transparent and can't see the status indicators and I can switch from laptop screen to external monitor by using the Fn+F5 keys | 22:50 |
| ibsin | Hello again | 22:52 |

| Hardtail | Does anyone here run Ubuntu on a tablet? | 23:18 |
| Rudj | Hi i'm running trusty, on a desktop with pci sound card, I finally managed to get mic input working but it comes out of the speakers | 23:18 |
| k1l_ | Hardtail: ubuntu desktop or ubuntu-touch? | 23:18 |
| Hardtail | k1l_ Either or, I have an ASUS T100 coming sometime this week. It has Windows8 loaded on it but I want to wipe it and just run Ubuntu - it should have a docking keyboard. | 23:19 |
| daftykins | !touch | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 23:19 |
| daftykins | Hardtail: ^ | 23:19 |
| Hardtail | daftykins thanks | 23:20 |

| k1l_ | Hardtail: yes, see the #ubuntu-touch channel. but the breaking point will b if the bootloader allows to install other OSs. | 23:20 |
| Hardtail | k1l_ Ok thank you. So the bootloader is not something that can be changed? | 23:21 |
| daftykins | fwiw i would say trying to change OS on a tablet is a mistake | 23:21 |
| Hardtail | fwiw? | 23:21 |
| === bodhi_ is now known as bodhizazen | ||
| daftykins | for what it's worth | 23:21 |
| k1l_ | Hardtail: on ARM (and tablets etc) its not like PC where you just put in a CD and give it a go | 23:21 |
| Hardtail | k1l_ if it has USB on it can't you just make a bootable usb? | 23:22 |
| k1l_ | Hardtail: "secureboot" is the issue | 23:22 |
| daftykins | we already said to join another channel to discuss, please | 23:22 |
| bodhizazen | secure boot is rarely the issue, UEFI is more likely | 23:22 |
| daftykins | we're talking about a tablet. | 23:23 |
| k1l_ | bodhizazen: on ARM. talking about tablets | 23:23 |
| Hardtail | ok sorry...didn't realize it was a problem dafty | 23:23 |
| bodhizazen | secure boot generally applies to drivers, not to booting | 23:23 |
| bodhizazen | For example, with secure boot enabled, the ATI driver fails as the (linux) binary is not signed, but the system boots ot a CLI | 23:24 |
| k1l | bodhizazen: again: talking about ARM. not about the pc uefi stuff. | 23:26 |

| Melar | Hi | 23:33 |
| ibsin | Hello. Anyone help me figure out why Rhythumbox won't load my entire Music library? It only loads like...4 songs and that's it. | 23:34 |
| Melar | trying to find an alternate install dvd 14.04.1 server if it exists. | 23:34 |
| Hardtail | !development | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 23:34 |
| k1l | Melar: there is no server dvd, iirc | 23:34 |
| k1l | !downloads | 23:35 |
| sexyboy | Melar: they've dropped the alternate installer after 12.04 | 23:35 |
| reisio | 'DVD' is just code for 'much longer of a download than you need' | 23:36 |
| k1l | !download | Melar | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Melar: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Trusty, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 23:36 |
| sexyboy | Melar: it's available only for the minimal iso | 23:36 |

| apb1963 | I can't seem to install keepass2 in 14.04. I'm getting: E: Unable to locate package keepass | 23:38 |
| Ben64 | apb1963: keepass2 | 23:39 |
| reisio | ibsin: what's it do instead? | 23:40 |
| === sludge is now known as sludgefrog | ||
| apb1963 | Ben64: yes. keepass2 | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | apb1963: yeah, type that instead of keepass | 23:40 |
| ibsin | It only loads up to 4 songs and lists them. Nothing else happens. | 23:40 |
| apb1963 | Ben64: I tried it both ways... I'll doublecheck in case I was crazy at the time | 23:41 |
| trism | apb1963: you can also check that you have universe enabled in software-properties-gtk | 23:41 |
| apb1963 | trism: where's that? | 23:41 |
| trism | apb1963: that is the command name: software-properties-gtk | 23:42 |
| apb1963 | I check /etc/apt/sources.list and it's enabled... but again, I'll doublecheck... | 23:42 |
| apb1963 | +ed | 23:42 |
| apb1963 | trism: installing that command now... | 23:43 |
| apb1963 | Ben64: confirmed, I tried both ways | 23:43 |
| reisio | ibsin: all the same format? | 23:43 |
| trism | apb1963: you don't have to install it, checking /etc/apt/sources.list works as well, it is just installed by default on ubuntu desktop and so easier for some versus editing the file directly | 23:44 |
| ibsin | reisio: Yep. All MP3s | 23:45 |

| ahklerner | the answer to my problem was to edit the /etc/grub.d/10_linux file and set the dynamic gfx to 0 | 23:45 |
| reisio | ibsin: you might try mv'ing your ~/.config/rhythmbox (or wherever it is) and try again | 23:46 |
| apb1963 | trism: I see.... well... universe is enabled and so... it still can't find keepass2 | 23:46 |
| trism | apb1963: it is definitely there, so there has to be something wrong with your sources/mirror, unless you just installed and didn't run: sudo apt-get update; yet | 23:47 |
| apb1963 | trism: yeah I think I forgot to run update... was doing that right now... although I've run it before so I would have thought it would find it. I'm trying to only enable universe for specific packages so I keep enabling and disabling. | 23:48 |
| apb1963 | trism: Yep... that was it. Sorry to bother you all... thank you :) | 23:49 |

| kbasher | hi | 23:50 |
| kbasher | i'd like to share this with you Using your gamepad as mouse, scroll, click on linux / xorg ! http://pastebin.com/TLY0RqVk | 23:50 |
| Gimhalos | Hello all, I'm working with a fresh install of Ubuntu and using the binary Nvidia drivers with a Korean 27" monitor. Before editting the xorg my secondary monitor worked perfectly. However, the EDID was messed up on the primary Korean monitor so I had to edit Xorg.conf with the model number, resolution, etc to get it to work. My 2nd monitor is trying to run with the same settings as the first now, instead of auto-config. | 23:57 |
| h16h | recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu as my main, loving it | 23:57 |
| Gimhalos | The man for xorg is way over my head and I'm not sure how to manually configure the EDID for the other monitor or get it to auto-detect | 23:57 |
| daftykins | try looking for example two screen configs and adapting as necessary | 23:58 |
| Gimhalos | so basically have screen0 and screen1? I tried that briefly but it kept trying to do both monitors as monitor0 | 23:59 |
| Gimhalos | as far as I know there's no way to set monitor0 to one port and monitor1 to another right? | 23:59 |
