| h16h | is there any RDP client available that supports Multiple Monitors? | 00:00 |

| kenny__ | hi guys, new to irc in general, but heard there are great communities. Do I just ask a question here? | 00:00 |
| ObrienDave | pretty much, yes | 00:01 |
| daftykins | kenny__: no, this is for ubuntu support only. you can go and ask in #freenode though | 00:01 |
| daftykins | (for anything else) | 00:01 |
| kenny__ | It's a ubuntu question. | 00:01 |
| reisio | h16h: VNC | 00:01 |
| daftykins | yay \o/ | 00:01 |
| daftykins | then please do | 00:01 |
| ObrienDave | then ask away :) | 00:01 |
| h16h | reisio: I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require multiple monitors to be plugged physically into that machine | 00:02 |
| h16h | reisio: in other words, I am trying to remote to a laptop, but use both monitors from host machine | 00:03 |
| reisio | h16h: what? :p | 00:03 |
| nith1210 | h16h: If you're ok with shared mouse/keyboard but different programs on laptop and host machine, you can look into Synergy. | 00:03 |
| kenny__ | Cool, very friendly. :) The border for apps (specifically Firefox) is VERY thin. Hard to grab. Especially, using seamless mode. Anyone know a way to get that thicker to make it easier to grab? | 00:04 |
| reisio | h16h: you want a single "screen" stretched across two monitors, or vice versa? | 00:04 |
| h16h | nith1210: not exactly what I need | 00:04 |
| === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan | ||
| kenny__ | Tried this, but doesn't work. "Another workaround is to hack the theme itself. For the Ambiance theme edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml and in the section starting <frame_geometry name="frame_geometry_normal" change left_width, right_width and bottom_height from 1 to 3." | 00:04 |
| nith1210 | kenny__: If you hold ALT then RIGHT click and drag, it'll resize a window no matter where you grab it | 00:04 |
| h16h | reisio: i am remoting to a laptop running Windows 7 from my Ubuntu machine. Ubuntu has two monitors, the laptop obviously only has one | 00:05 |
| sludgefrog | Why is ‘continue’ greyed out in the install dialog, page “install Ubuntu alongside windows 8” ,etc etc.? It doesn’t matter what I choose. | 00:05 |
| kenny__ | this is for fool-proof end-users..so no keyboard combos. | 00:05 |
| h16h | reisio: if i were running Windows on my host as well, I could enable that remote session to work across both monitors (extended desktop), not stretching or mirroring etc | 00:05 |
| reisio | h16h: okay | 00:06 |
| reisio | h16h: you can do that, yes | 00:06 |
| reisio | h16h: you can have VNC start two X servers, or twinview or whatever it would normally for two monitors | 00:06 |
| reisio | oh sorry the remote is Windows :p | 00:07 |
| reisio | hrmmm | 00:07 |
| h16h | so basically I'm looking for the "use All monitors" option found in mstsc (Microsoft), in some solution now that I've transitioned to Ubuntu =) | 00:07 |
| squinty | nith1210, two boxes here one running gnome3 and the other unity... neither responding to expanding on alt right click drag. :) | 00:08 |
| reisio | h16h: hrmmm, I guess you should check with xrdp first | 00:08 |
| h16h | reisio: thanks | 00:08 |
| Bashing-om | tj | 00:09 |
| docmur | I have minidlna installed and for some reason only 13 folders out of 200 are showing up on my xBox, has anyone seen this? I'm running 14.04 | 00:10 |
| daftykins | docmur: you shared 200 folders? | 00:10 |
| docmur | well in minidlna, private to my network | 00:10 |
| daftykins | docmur: why not put those 200 in one folder and share... one? :D | 00:11 |
| reisio | h16h: I just read that 'realvnc has the use all monitors option', whether that applies to windows boxes too is another matter :) would still check xrdp first | 00:11 |
| h16h | reisio: thanks reading now =) | 00:11 |
| nith1210 | squinty: try ALT + MouseWheel instead. | 00:11 |
| reisio | h16h: so you wanted remote windows fake monitor one on real monitor 1, and remote windows fake monitor two on real monitor 2, same session? | 00:13 |
| nith1210 | squinty: ALT+MouseWheel on unity and gnome3, ALT+RightClick on KDE (atleast on my box) | 00:13 |
| kenny__ | anyone know how to make app (firefox specifically) BORDERS larger so that it's easier to grab for resizing? No keyboard shortcuts please. | 00:18 |
| daftykins | no idea, always seen that as an issue with Ubuntu though | 00:18 |
| daftykins | can't believe it passes user experience testing | 00:18 |
| kenny__ | oh, so it's a known thing? | 00:19 |
| kenny__ | darn... | 00:19 |
| daftykins | well, i'm familiar with it being a real pain to try and grab the window resize controls, yeah | 00:19 |
| kenny__ | my granny has a hard time resizing. | 00:19 |
| daftykins | i don't know about being 'known' known :) | 00:19 |
| h16h | reisio: yes, exactly. but i figured it out ..thanks to some searching | 00:19 |
| h16h | reisio: using freerdp, i can do "xfreerdp -u username --no-nla -f RemoteIPAddress" | 00:20 |
| h16h | it's the --no-nla that makes it work..no idea what that means but I'm about to find out lol | 00:20 |
| === toto is now known as Guest58521 | ||
| daftykins | no network level authentication | 00:21 |
| reisio | h16h: cool, is that even in the docs? :p | 00:22 |
| reisio | my freerdp doesn't even have a man page :p | 00:22 |
| reisio | although _usually_ rdesktop's man page applies | 00:22 |
| h16h | reisio: well, not exactly lol, not that combination of options to make this work atleast | 00:23 |
| squinty | i will second that on window resize being a pain too. | 00:24 |
| reisio | h16h: how not? | 00:26 |
| h16h | reisio: sorry it had nothing to do with --no-nla (disabling TLS), as long as I use -f (full screen), i get what I want | 00:28 |
| h16h | reisio: i was getting a different behavior last night, wth..i must be confused | 00:28 |
| reisio | oh... | 00:28 |
| reisio | so just with -f it covers both monitors, but they act as separate monitors should? | 00:28 |
| h16h | reisio: sorry ignore everything..LOL . FreeRDP is perfect. Exactly, it covers both monitors but behave as separate monitors as well with -f | 00:29 |
| reisio | h16h: oh neat, I had no idea :p | 00:29 |
| h16h | this is great. I like to come home and dock my laptop (just network and power), then remote into it from my main machine with nice huge 27" screens | 00:29 |
| reisio | I'm sure anyone who'd used freerdp/rdesktop with two monitors could've told you that :p | 00:29 |
| h16h | the dock is connected to a hardware vpn hence all this crap | 00:30 |
| reisio | yeah, windows, crap :p | 00:30 |
| h16h | lol | 00:30 |
| h16h | Remmina doesn't work this way, that much I do remember | 00:30 |
| reisio | well that's a frontend for rdesktop/freerdp | 00:31 |
| reisio | who knows wtf it does | 00:31 |
| reisio | it's true that freerdp is supposed to have newer fancies than rdesktop, though | 00:31 |
| daftykins | tsk tsk language, reisio | 00:31 |
| reisio | although I've only encountered one myself | 00:31 |
| reisio | daftykins: tsk tsk boring commentary, daftykins | 00:31 |
| daftykins | well, you should follow the rules, sir | 00:32 |

| hydraidm801 | i guess i can reboot and go to the login screen it will take me a few minutes to get back | 01:20 |
| Sachiru | @Penguin1: What about it? | 01:20 |
| Sachiru | @Penguin1: If your computer is behind a firewall you are protected against shellshock attacks from external sources. | 01:21 |
| Guest89659 | what is taskel for ? | 01:21 |
| daftykins | selecting multiple package setups in one go | 01:21 |
| daftykins | Guest89659: such as adding a desktop environment or web server | 01:21 |
| penguin1 | hi @Sachiru Is there any impact on other running services like mysql-server, apache2 , phpmyadmin, vsftpd when I update the bash program? | 01:21 |
| Guest89659 | daftykins: thanks | 01:21 |
| hydraidm801 | tasksel is for installing a server the easy way | 01:21 |
| penguin1 | @Sachiru using sudo apt-get update && apt-get install bash | 01:22 |
| Sachiru | Assuming that the upgrade is done the proper way (via apt-get upgrade), I don't see any issues with other running services | 01:22 |
| Sachiru | Unless you use some form of obscure voodoo magic with your Apache server. | 01:22 |
| Sachiru | That relies heavily on a very specific version of bash, or relies on the bug that triggers the shellshock exploit | 01:22 |
| hydraidm801 | normal operations under apache == voodoo magic | 01:23 |
| Guest89659 | how do you add facebook and twitter ? | 01:23 |

| Foxhoundz | and redownloaded the ISO | 01:28 |
| hydraidm801 | back | 01:28 |
| hydraidm801 | at lightdm login screen there is no option to select Ubuntu(default) or classic or anything | 01:29 |

| hydraidm801 | yes | 01:30 |
| Foxhoundz | I found a workaround online by basically mounting /dev/sdb under /cdrom | 01:30 |
| hydraidm801 | no I am using xchat | 01:30 |
| hydraidm801 | i can manage through tmux | 01:30 |

| nith1210 | It is, I just didn't realize it was. | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: i've been here for years. you were missing the clock and some other stuff in unity, not sure what you think gdm is going to do | 01:44 |
| hydraidm801 | basically unity is half broken | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | that still doesn't explain anything | 01:45 |
| hydraidm801 | this happened when I ppa-purged gnome | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | ah there we go | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: so what is your end goal | 01:45 |
| hydraidm801 | to get unity functional again | 01:45 |
| hydraidm801 | apt-get update didn't work | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | why did you purge gnome | 01:46 |
| hydraidm801 | cause I didn't like gnome 3 | 01:46 |
| hydraidm801 | I didn't realize unity was based off gnome at the time | 01:46 |
| reisio | :) | 01:47 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: what version of ubuntu | 01:48 |
| Snake2k | sudo apt-get install unity* | 01:49 |
| Snake2k | :| | 01:49 |
| Snake2k | Don't do that lol | 01:49 |
| hydraidm801 | 14.02 | 01:50 |
| hydraidm801 | so how can i remove unity and reinstall ? | 01:52 |
| xangua | Maybe you could start from the beginning hydraidm801 | 01:53 |
| xangua | Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:53 |
| hydraidm801 | xangua, that just says I am at the newest | 01:53 |
| hydraidm801 | I think I need to remove it reinstall it | 01:54 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: My vote is still on gdm. You said your unity session works fine after you login right? | 01:54 |
| hydraidm801 | yeah but I have to "setsid unity" first lol | 01:55 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: Right, and given your lightdm log, lightdm is not starting the correct session. Given that lightdm is broken and now allowing you to switch sessions, my vote is another login manager. | 01:55 |
| Ben64 | gdm isn't going to change anything | 01:56 |
| nith1210 | Ben64: It does if lightdm is the issue. | 01:56 |
| Ben64 | its not | 01:56 |
| nith1210 | Ben64: If he logs into TTY and runs unity desktop with setsid he gets a sessoin and life is good. | 01:56 |
| nith1210 | *session | 01:57 |
| hydraidm801 | I can't install gdm it says I have held broken packages | 01:57 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: that might be the root issue then | 01:57 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: apt-get -f install | 01:57 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: can you pastebin "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 01:57 |
| hydraidm801 | ... | 01:58 |
| hydraidm801 | http://dpaste.com/048M52A | 01:58 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: did you run apt-get -f install before that and if so, did it do anything? | 01:59 |
| hydraidm801 | no I didn't | 01:59 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: what ppas do you have | 01:59 |
| hydraidm801 | I wonder if uh what is it called xauthority is working? | 02:00 |
| Ben64 | ls -l /home/<you>/.Xauthority | 02:00 |
| marcjs | hey, does a programm exist, that tells me the memory usage of a command? like `time myprogramm` it does: something like `memory myprogramm `. I want to run a programm and want at the end read out the memory used by this programm in my app. | 02:01 |
| hydraidm801 | policy kit authentication agent! | 02:02 |
| daftykins | marcjs: watch it with top or htop | 02:05 |
| hydraidm801 | http://dpaste.com/2T4YD5A | 02:05 |
| Ben64 | hydraidm801: reinstall and be more careful next time, especially with apt-get purge | 02:06 |
| marcjs | daftykins but I need to read it programmatically, means I need it at the end when the command is done | 02:07 |
| hydraidm801 | I can't reinstall it would take weeks to reconfigure all my dev servers | 02:07 |
| daftykins | marcjs: ah, oh well no idea | 02:07 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: Something else you could try is re-adding the gnome3 ppa then trying to install gdm again. | 02:08 |
| hydraidm801 | that might work | 02:08 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: if your adiment about not reinstalling, just house them both and use one. | 02:08 |
| xangua | hydraidm801: it looks like you have a PPA of gnome 3.12 still enabled, also you didn't say how you removed the PPA neither said what PPA | 02:08 |
| hydraidm801 | sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging | 02:09 |
| hydraidm801 | sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 | 02:09 |
| hydraidm801 | i ran those | 02:09 |
| hydraidm801 | apt-mark showhold | 02:10 |
| hydraidm801 | oops | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | you must still have conflicts with PPAs. good luck with that | 02:10 |
| hydraidm801 | this article is dangerous BTW http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/upgrade-gnome-3-10-ubuntu-13-10 | 02:11 |
| hydraidm801 | thats how I got into this whole mess | 02:11 |
| xangua | They always explain those PPA will likely break unity hydraidm801 | 02:13 |
| hydraidm801 | I just always thought unity was it's own thing I didn't realize it was a part of gnome fork | 02:14 |
| xangua | And that's why it uses nautilus, eye of gnome, etc. | 02:15 |

| hydraidm801 | i have a few 2TB drives connected and using nautilus I don't have permission to mount them. Which is weird cause before all this gnome unity stuff happened I could | 02:52 |
| hydraidm801 | my user is in the sudoers list and I should be able to mount anything | 02:53 |
| daftykins | Suzuya: pretty sure they removed screen sharing | 02:53 |
| Suzuya | daftykins, really? It's supposed to work, it's like cloud based or something | 02:53 |
| daftykins | err | 02:53 |
| hydraidm801 | Suzuya: Google Hangouts has a better screen sharing tool anyways | 02:53 |
| daftykins | dunno then. i heard something about desktop sharing being removed | 02:53 |
| daftykins | or something similar | 02:53 |
| Suzuya | hydraidm801, nobody I know uses hangouts | 02:53 |
| daftykins | hydraidm801: eh, i'd just run "sudo fdisk -l" to identify the disk + partition, "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk" then "sudo mount -t $filesystem /dev/sdx1 /mnt/disk" for example | 02:54 |
| hydraidm801 | do you know anyone that uses gmail? | 02:54 |
| daftykins | where $filesystem = ext4, for example | 02:54 |
| Suzuya | yes, but I'd rather not make them use hangouts | 02:55 |

| nith1210 | Suzuya: Sorry, I couldn't find anything specific, if you want to try it out then daftykins' suggestion is the best. Close skype, rename folder, start skype, test, put folder back. | 03:06 |
| nith1210 | Suzuya: The only settings I found were in ~/.Skype ; you might renaming that instead but if skype was a fresh install, it'll probably do the samething. | 03:07 |
| Suzuya | nith1210, yeah I tried renaming the folder and starting up again and still I have those features disabled, I guess the website is correct that it doesn't work. I'll just have to use my windows for skype from now on. | 03:14 |
| nith1210 | Suzuya: I hate that feeling. Sorry we couldn't do more. | 03:15 |

| karex | Hi everybody, if you install (or just copy/extract) an application not by using apt-get or dpkg, where do you place it? "/opt"? "$HOME/.something"? | 03:33 |
| reisio | karex: preferably /dev/null :) | 03:34 |
| reisio | karex: $HOME/.something is probably the least awful way | 03:34 |
| reisio | if it even allows that | 03:34 |
| jengar | normally opt is used fo this | 03:34 |
| nith1210 | karex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 03:35 |
| reisio | well, normally opt is used for things still done by the package manager :p | 03:35 |
| reisio | if you keep it in ~/, you have a chance of being able to clean up its mess in future | 03:36 |
| nith1210 | karex: Although, I agree with reisio if it's for your own usage exclusively. If its for group usage, you may want to create your own package for it if you can (even if you don't distribute it). | 03:36 |
| karex | reisio: nith1210 's link says "/opt can be used to store addition software for your system, which is not handled by the package manager." | 03:38 |
| karex | If I use $HOME/.something, what is "something" usually named? | 03:39 |
| nith1210 | karex: Completely agree, says so in the doc; but it can be easier to manage in ~/ for one-off programs. | 03:39 |
| hydraidm801 | I fixed unity!! | 03:40 |
| nith1210 | karex: In the single user case, i'm not sure opt is worth it. | 03:40 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: Please do tell. | 03:40 |
| hydraidm801 | so stupid | 03:40 |
| hydraidm801 | I installed XFCE through tasksel | 03:40 |
| hydraidm801 | then I uninstalled ubuntu desktop | 03:41 |
| hydraidm801 | then in a XFCE session I installed unity through tasksel | 03:41 |
| hydraidm801 | hahaha! | 03:41 |
| reisio | karex: you should use a package manager | 03:41 |
| hydraidm801 | everything is back to normal so back to work. | 03:42 |
| hydraidm801 | oh how do I change my icons back to ambience? | 03:42 |
| karex | reisio: nith1210: Thank you. | 03:42 |
| karex | reisio: Unfortunately not all apps I need provided in the repo. | 03:43 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: congrats | 03:43 |
| nith1210 | karex: nor me, hense why I suggested you package it yourself. That way you can ensure install is clean, uninstall is clean and it's properly integrated. | 03:44 |
| reisio | karex: lies :p | 03:44 |
| nith1210 | karex: Either way, at this point it's philosophical and not support. /opt for no package manager. | 03:45 |
| karex | nith1210: how complicated :D | 03:45 |
| nith1210 | karex: Package creation? It really depends on the software. If it's a tarball, it can be cake. If it's an installer and you do it properly... it can be... involved. | 03:46 |
| nith1210 | karex: do you plan to install this on more than one machine and for more than just your own usage? | 03:46 |
| nith1210 | karex: If no, don't worry about it. If yes: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html | 03:48 |
| nith1210 | hydraidm801: Not sure about the icons, sorry. | 03:48 |

| VanessaE | ok folks, I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but there's so much outdated info and unanswered questions on the web that I'm lost. Without invoking MakeMKV, AnyDVD, or anything involving ripping or Windows, can someone please tell me how to play a blu ray disc in Linux? at this point I've got VLC, libaacs, libbdplus (compiled), and one or two libs. | 04:22 |
| VanessaE | I'm able to play blu-rays, but if they have BD+, their video is garbled. | 04:22 |
| VanessaE | audio thereof is still okay (if not BD+, the video plays fine) | 04:22 |
| VanessaE | my reading seems to imply I'm missing some kind of "conversion tables"? but nothing seems to explain how the heck to get these files, or whether I'm supposed to download them at all. | 04:23 |
| sethj | VanessaE, while I don't have any blueray disks to tinker with, I doubt getting it to work is possible. A good How To Geek article here http://www.howtogeek.com/138969/why-watching-dvds-on-linux-is-illegal-in-the-usa/ explains the situation with DVDs and FOSS quite well. | 04:26 |
| somsip | !dvd | VanessaE | 04:26 |
| ubottu | VanessaE: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

| slyrus | so I can successfully log in with "ubuntustudio" on my 14.04 box, but if I choose "ubuntu" it hangs after entering my password. any suggestions? | 04:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | so really we need to contact the ACLU, and fight for rights | 04:27 |
| VanessaE | sethj: meh, DVDs are nothing new for me. I'm a pretty well-read geek, but blu-rays are new territory for me. | 04:28 |
| sethj | VanessaE, yes, I figured you would already know all that. What makes you think BlueRay disks are any different though? | 04:29 |
| VanessaE | somsip: I'm quite aware; I've long since figured out DVDs, and I can play blu-rays now as well. it's just this stupid BD+ crap. I figured someone here had figured it out | 04:29 |
| somsip | VanessaE: no idea myself. I was just aware of the factoid that might have had something helpful on it | 04:29 |
| sethj | According to wikipedia BD+ is just a newer form of encryption. Kinda resets back at square 1 for the whole crack DVDs thing. | 04:30 |
| VanessaE | sethj: BD+ has allegedly been cracked, so I've read, but everyone seems to want to use those two programs I mentioned, or otherwise do it in Windows, all of which are out of the question for me | 04:32 |
| VanessaE | i.e. I don't want to rip, let alone do it on Windows. I just want to watch the discs in my lib. Especially now that my home theater is currently inoperable. | 04:32 |
| sethj | VanessaE: That doesn't really sound cracked to me :/ You said you have libbdplus? | 04:33 |
| VanessaE | sethj: yep. | 04:33 |
| VanessaE | got it from videolan's website. | 04:33 |
| === night-owl2 is now known as night-owl | ||

| VanessaE | sethj: I have somewhere around 50 discs. I've tried only a few so far. Some exhibited what looks like BD+ corrupted video (such as Silent Movie or Young Frankenstein), the others just work as long as I don't need menus (Amelie for example). One I tried worked but wasn't too useful without menus (Star Trek:TOS season 1, disc 1) | 04:35 |
| frankenstein | I'm old. | 04:36 |
| aldair | hello | 04:36 |
| VanessaE | I literally haven't had time to try my whole library - I just unboxed the drive today (it's replacing a failed unit) | 04:36 |
| VanessaE | s/unit/DVD reader/ | 04:36 |
| sethj | Have you seen this VanessaE? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BluRay | 04:38 |
| VanessaE | yep, been there already | 04:38 |
| viscera | Howcome for the same user account and block device, smartctl returns SMART data but GNOME Disks doesn't (disabled menu)? | 04:39 |
| sethj | So basically you are just looking for these tables to decrypt the data, since you (apparently) don't have the right ones? | 04:39 |
| viscera | Oh wait | 04:39 |
| VanessaE | sethj: no | 04:39 |
| viscera | Yeah, both are running as superuser | 04:40 |
| VanessaE | sethj: I'm actually confused about that - some of the sites I've read claim it simply won't work, some say I need some kind of conversion tables (but then of course they don't say where they come from), and some say it should just work. | 04:41 |
| VanessaE | I know dvdcss just works since it reads the keys from the disc, and a standalone bluray player does the same thing, that's why I'm confused as to what REALLY is needed here | 04:41 |
| VanessaE | one page (I think it was from the Arch Wiki) implied getting them out of MakeMKV but that sounds totally wrong since the site for that package as neither a Linux version for download, nor an obvious separate package for those tables. | 04:42 |
| VanessaE | so those tables sounds like the wrong thing. | 04:43 |
| VanessaE | so I must be missing a library or somethinbg | 04:43 |
| VanessaE | -b | 04:43 |
| sethj | It's possible. From what I can gather they keep tweaking the spec as cracking gets better. | 04:44 |
| VanessaE | yeah, that's what I read also. | 04:44 |
| sethj | What about libblueray-git? | 04:44 |
| slyrus | any suggestions on how to begin to debug the post-login window-manager hang? | 04:44 |
| VanessaE | I haven't tried it from git yet. I checked the commit log, but didn't see anything obvious there that suggested anything that would help. I'll give that a shot later after the current movie is dun | 04:45 |
| sethj | slyrus, take a look in /var/log/xorg.0.conf. All my hangs have been graphics card/driver issues. | 04:45 |

| havanamintz | hey i'm mounting drive with sshfs and samba, how do i let these volumes sleep? | 04:47 |
| havanamintz | mounting drives... | 04:47 |
| havanamintz | they keep spinning | 04:47 |
| === Guest78746 is now known as jack | ||
| Sachiru | @havana: It's supposed to automatically sleep if nothing's accessing it for an extended period of time | 04:48 |
| Sachiru | Check if there's anything accessing it periodically first, me thinks | 04:48 |
| Sachiru | Ensure that it *CAN* sleep because nobody's using it | 04:48 |
| havanamintz | sachiru, you're probably right... i've been using crypto wallets, and it keeps the drives constantly active.. might be smart to go to ssd, just for life cycle | 04:49 |
| Sachiru | Uh... | 04:51 |
| Sachiru | TBH HDDs have a longer lifespan than SSDs, especially with regards to writes | 04:51 |
| Sachiru | The gap is shrinking, though. | 04:52 |
| joshuasm32 | How would I keep an application running in the background after it has been closed, using Ubuntu itself (not within an application)? | 04:52 |
| havanamintz | i know that... which is why im concerned that my big drive has been failing | 04:52 |
| VanessaE | oh well, bbl. | 04:52 |
| Sachiru | Also if it's small periodic writes like crypto wallets a HDD should be enough. The power draw of one or two drives writing data is relatively miniscule after all | 04:52 |
| havanamintz | josheasm32 you could try screen | 04:52 |
| joshuasm32 | screen? | 04:52 |
| joshuasm32 | Is that an application? | 04:53 |
| Sachiru | @havanamintz: If you really want to see if your drive is failing you can check its SMART status using smartmontools | 04:53 |
| havanamintz | sachiru: i've had a large lacie volume mounted to my server for less than a year, and noticed it needs to be cycled now to mount properly | 04:53 |
| joshuasm32 | Synaptic has the following listing: screen - terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation | 04:53 |
| joshuasm32 | Is this what you are referring to? | 04:54 |
| havanamintz | joshuasm32: screen is command line application for just what you may be needing | 04:54 |
| havanamintz | screen -S screenname; | 04:55 |
| joshuasm32 | ok... | 04:55 |
| joshuasm32 | screenname, is it an application? | 04:55 |
| havanamintz | screenname is the name of the screen session you're wanting to create | 04:55 |
| havanamintz | i would look up the use of screen | 04:55 |
| havanamintz | there are a few commands... | 04:55 |
| joshuasm32 | I apologize for any excessive questions, I am a Linux newb. | 04:56 |
| somsip | !info screen | joshuasm32 | 04:56 |
| havanamintz | you are talking about running command line applications in the background? | 04:56 |
| ubottu | joshuasm32: screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-9 (trusty), package size 613 kB, installed size 936 kB | 04:56 |
| slyrus | well, that's lovely. now I can log in... at 640x480 only... | 04:57 |
| joshuasm32 | ... | 04:57 |
| joshuasm32 | I would like to keep thunderbird running. Could I see an example syntax? Thanks | 04:57 |
| havanamintz | well i dont think screen is what you're looking for | 04:58 |
| joshuasm32 | Oh... | 04:58 |
| havanamintz | sorry... screen is an app for command line | 04:58 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: no. If it's closed, it's closed. If you minimise it, it's running | 04:58 |
| havanamintz | for operating processes with terminal | 04:58 |
| joshuasm32 | I can't seem to find a good extension for it | 04:58 |
| Sachiru | @havana: I see. Check its SMART status with Smartmontools then | 04:58 |
| joshuasm32 | Programs like pidgin can run through the messaging menu without being open | 04:58 |
| havanamintz | there you go!... my ubuntu experaince is mostly headless | 04:58 |
| joshuasm32 | Is this possible to do? | 04:59 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: they are open. They are just minimised (probably to the systray) | 04:59 |
| joshuasm32 | Right | 04:59 |
| joshuasm32 | I don't like having to keep a window open | 04:59 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: minimise it then | 04:59 |
| joshuasm32 | I would like to be able to close thunderbird and still see notifications... | 04:59 |
| joshuasm32 | for new mail | 04:59 |
| joshuasm32 | i use alt+tab a lot, this is why | 04:59 |
| havanamintz | sachiru — this is an os x server thats shelling our samba... so i will have to try that option out | 05:00 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: unsupported: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/minimizetotray-revived/ | 05:00 |
| Sachiru | @havana: IIRC GSmartControl (gui for SmartMonTools) is available for OSX | 05:00 |
| joshuasm32 | ...I've used this in Windows, is this a functioning Linux version? | 05:00 |
| joshuasm32 | Thaks somsip | 05:00 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: I did mention it was unsupported here | 05:00 |
| joshuasm32 | What do you mean by this? | 05:02 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: you basically asked "does it work". It's not an official part of ubuntu, so you need to test it yourself | 05:02 |
| joshuasm32 | I do not believe it works... | 05:03 |
| joshuasm32 | No indictor | 05:03 |
| joshuasm32 | is this just because it is not supported? | 05:04 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: ask the plugin developer | 05:04 |
| joshuasm32 | Alright. | 05:04 |
| joshuasm32 | I'm sorry for the intrusion. | 05:04 |
| joshuasm32 | One last time, to clarify, there is not a terminal command that allows you to run a program from the taskbar using Ubuntu itself? | 05:05 |
| somsip | joshuasm32: that would be a function of the app (it must be attachable to the systray) | 05:06 |
| joshuasm32 | Thank you. | 05:06 |

| Random832 | Whenever I use a shortcut key with "alt" in any app, if I release the letter key before releasing the alt key, it opens some menu crap, how do i disable this | 05:20 |
| Random832 | er if i release the alt key first i mean | 05:21 |
| Random832 | like if i press alt-a, and it's <keydown>alt <keydown>a <keyup>alt <keyup>a, i get a weird menu | 05:21 |
| Random832 | how to fix | 05:21 |
| Random832 | (I refuse to accept "carefully press and release the keys in the 'right' order every time, because it's insane and no other OS in the history of ever has done this) | 05:22 |
| somsip | Random832: press the keys properly. You would you release a modifier and expect the char key not to be recognised? | 05:22 |
| Random832 | somsip: The fact that I pressed a key while having the modifier down means it should not be interpreted as an isolated press of the modifier | 05:22 |
| Random832 | no other OS has ever done this | 05:22 |
| Random832 | it's pretty damn rare to bind actions to isolated modifier keypresses to begin with | 05:23 |
| Random832 | and it doesn't even happen for alt-tab, just for application alt-letter shortcuts | 05:24 |
| akiva_ | why won't this chat let me paste!!! | 05:24 |
| akiva_ | bah | 05:25 |
| matty_r | use pastebin | 05:26 |
| akiva__ | somsip: http://ibin.co/1cJILIm4X6ia | 05:26 |
| somsip | akiva__: firstly, there's nothign wrong with that script that I can see. Secondly, 14.10 is in beta and not supported here. Please join #ubuntu+1 | 05:27 |
| akiva__ | somsip: fair enough | 05:28 |
| Random832 | somsip: the _normal_ usage of shortcut keys is to release all keys at the same time, rather than carefully in reverse order, once the desired action has taken effect. | 05:30 |
| Random832 | any system that does not support this is broken. | 05:31 |
| Random832 | ("at the same time" means the actual key release events may come in any random order) | 05:32 |

| pali1 | now it doesn't give me error, just hangs after launching the command | 08:20 |
| iptable | pali1, you are going to be trying to emulate an actual CPU feature :D Don't. get a version of skype that works for you. | 08:20 |
| pali1 | i will try, but i read that they wont allow to login with an older version | 08:21 |
| iptable | pali1, from official docs, only video calling won't work without SSE2 on skype. have you actually tried installing and running skype without qemu? qemu skype will be too slow for video anyways | 08:21 |
| Ca11um | In Ubuntu 14.04 is it possible to change the login screen so it prompts for a username and password? Eventually the system will have hundreds of users, so obviously a 'classic login' would be better than selecting your username from a list. | 08:21 |
| auscompgeek | Ca11um: which DM? | 08:23 |
| Ca11um | auscompgeek: sorry, DM? Not used to using Linux. | 08:23 |
| iptable | which translates to: lightDM - standard - i.e. whatever came with ubuntu 14.04 | 08:24 |
| auscompgeek | Ca11um: display manager | 08:24 |
| auscompgeek | iptable: probably, but gotta make sure :) | 08:24 |
| Ca11um | Where can I find that information? It's Ubuntu 14.04.1 with the latest updates, running on a VMWare system. | 08:24 |
| iptable | pali1, no, skype 4.2 won't work. it won't login, that's correct. skype 4.3 needs SSE2. early version of 4.3 (4.3.0) required SSE2 for video only. Now they implemented checks to allow only SSE2 machines to run the binary | 08:25 |
| auscompgeek | Ca11um: are you using the normal (Unity) Ubuntu desktop release? | 08:25 |
| iptable | pali1, basically: you are using microsoft bull* software which forces you to upgrade for no real reason other than $$$. Ms wants you to buy a new machine, meaning you will buy OEM version of windows 8.1 that comes with it automatically. | 08:25 |
| iptable | pali1, and yes, qemu version is too slow to be called usable | 08:26 |
| wheeei | Ben64 I've read the ubuntu-faq about the swap-file but their examples is for 1gb/2gb, If I got 12gb ram should my swap-file still be around 12gb in order to hibernate without a issue? | 08:26 |
| iptable | wheeei, no. if you wantto hibernate, you need more than 12GB swap | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | wheeei: if you want to hibernate, swap needs to be equal or over the amount of ram | 08:26 |
| iptable | wheeei, rule of thumb would be 1.5x. | 08:26 |
| Ca11um | auscompgeek: Yes, the default | 08:26 |
| pali1 | iptable: since ive launced the command, it doesnt showed up till now | 08:26 |
| iptable | wheeei, so for 12GB RAM, I would say 18GB swap. | 08:27 |
| pali1 | iptable: i need video calling on this old PC, what alternatives i have? | 08:27 |
| wheeei | iptable really? that's not what the documenation says https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 08:27 |
| iptable | pali1, let it run for a few days. it will show up in a week or so... then try chatting lol | 08:27 |
| iptable | wheeei, if you swap stuff out (and it does swap out, even if you are not over ram), suddenly your hibernate will not work. minimum I would advise for hibernation to work at almost all times would be 14GB or SWAP. | 08:28 |
| pali1 | iptable: anything else beside skype? | 08:28 |
| iptable | pali1, your choices are: upgrade or not use skype | 08:28 |
| auscompgeek | Ca11um: take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM then | 08:28 |
| iptable | pali1, google hangouts is one | 08:28 |
| wheeei | iptable ok, I will go with your recommendation | 08:28 |
| Mia | any top or htop alternative for monitoring through ssh? | 08:28 |
| iptable | wheeei, but with a 12GB-RAM machine I don't believe you can't spare 18 or 20GB for swap to make sure it ALWAYS works with hibernation. | 08:29 |
| iptable | Mia, what's wrong with running top through ssh? | 08:29 |
| karex | iptable: swap now can be in the file, so if I don't need hibernation, is there any reason to make a swap partition? | 08:29 |
| iptable | karex, the user specifically asked for hibernation actually | 08:29 |
| karex | iptable: this is a different question | 08:30 |
| iptable | karex, also, files do get fragmented, so swap on partition will give you better performance. | 08:30 |
| karex | iptable: :D not his/her questioin | 08:30 |
| wheeei | iptable well I was going to only use 100gb for linux including home. I guess 30gb for root 18gb for swap and the rest for home | 08:30 |
| iptable | karex, then again, if you use ext4 and force a continous trunk of space, shouldn't be an issue. with 12GB of RAM you should never run out (unless you use chrome :P) | 08:31 |
| iptable | karex, on my laptop, on which i do NOT hibernate, I got 8GB RAM and 2GB swap and it works. If I run a huge process count for extended periods of time, including virtualization, it does get close though... | 08:32 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: htop does show RAM usage in MB. | 08:32 |
| iptable | so does free -m :P | 08:32 |
| __unik | hello. How can I use a superadmin privileges command in system() function? | 08:32 |
| __unik | <__unik> I want my program to update the system: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:32 |
| iptable | wheeei, yes, that will be perfect for root, swap and home size. | 08:32 |
| iptable | wheeei, you can stuff any large files on your ntfs which ubuntu does support | 08:33 |
| karex | iptable: "I got 8GB RAM and 2GB swap and it works" does "it" refers to hibernation? | 08:33 |
| wheeei | yeah that was my plan, thanx! | 08:33 |
| iptable | __unik, you are creating a command to not have to type apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? | 08:33 |
| iptable | karex, no, "it" refers to system. I don't use hibernation and it would not work. | 08:34 |
| karex | iptable: oh i see | 08:34 |
| __unik | iptable: no, I am doing a C++ application. I want it to update my system | 08:34 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: (well, actually, htop chooses the most convenient units to show RAM usage, usually either KB or MB) | 08:34 |
| __unik | iptable: system() function is used for terminal commands | 08:34 |
| __unik | but I doesn't work with sudo | 08:34 |
| iptable | __unik, so you are writing an application in C++ to run 2 external commands? | 08:34 |
| Ca11um | Thank you very much, auscompgeek | 08:35 |
| Ca11um | It's all working as intended now. | 08:35 |
| sonne | why is the default scheduler on ubuntu desktop deadline rather than cfq? | 08:35 |
| auscompgeek | Ca11um: not a problem. | 08:35 |
| __unik | iptable: yes | 08:35 |
| iptable | __unik, of course it doesn't work with sudo. sudo needs interactive password AND also elevates permissions. for safety, you need to run your applicaiton as sudo /you/app | 08:35 |
| iptable | __unik, can't you do it in bash? | 08:35 |
| Mia | auscompgeek, how to set it to show in mb | 08:35 |
| Mia | I mena, per-process | 08:35 |
| iptable | __unik, you could setup sudoers to not ask for password when you type in: sudo /your/useless/c/app | 08:36 |
| Mia | in the table | 08:36 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: it does by default | 08:36 |
| iptable | Mia, what's wrong with top/htop/atop/iotop? | 08:36 |
| iptable | for monitoring | 08:36 |
| Mia | iptable, auscompgeek I can't seem to make it | 08:36 |
| Mia | to show the table in MB | 08:36 |
| Mia | rather than percent | 08:36 |
| __unik | iptable: I am developing it, I don't want my users to write that code line whenever they want to open my app. Yes thanks for your suggestion, I will try bash | 08:37 |
| Mia | let me send a screenshot | 08:37 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: it *does*. it shows % and exact amount at the same time *by default*. | 08:37 |
| Ben64 | __unik: whats wrong with just typing "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?? | 08:37 |
| Mia | http://img.ctrlv.in/img/14/10/02/542d08fadd9fc.png | 08:37 |
| Mia | auscompgeek, here is my ss | 08:37 |
| === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga | ||
| iptable | __unik, no, if your users want to elevate permissions, they should type a password in. | 08:37 |
| iptable | __unik, it's called security | 08:37 |
| iptable | __unik, otherwise you are doing them and yourself great danger and breaking the way things should work... | 08:38 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: yup, that's the default setup. it's showing RAM usage of each process just fine. | 08:38 |
| Mia | aukaicue, it doens't show in mb values | 08:38 |
| Mia | it shows in percent | 08:38 |
| __unik | iptable: yes, of course, but doing it at opening is not the true time | 08:38 |
| Mia | auscompgeek, | 08:38 |
| Mia | ^ | 08:38 |
| iptable | __unik, if you do insist, you can (not in bash, but on C app) set a suid flag so when you run your app, it will automatically set it's UID to root. Then you can system() apt-get update && apt-get upgrade without the need for sudo. | 08:38 |
| auscompgeek | Mia: here's a good explanation of htop that I found, please read this. http://www.deonsworld.co.za/2012/12/20/understanding-and-using-htop-monitor-system-resources/ | 08:39 |
| __unik | iptable: yes, thanks. | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | __unik: seriously, why waste time and make that at all | 08:39 |
| JediMaster | I've got three 14.04 machines talking to each other. One is running Redis, the other two Redis clients. On the syslog of the redis server, I can see [UFW BLOCK] .... DPT=6379, which is the port for redis. Despite this, it appears to work and I can telnet to that port from the clients without being blocked. Strange. However, every few days there one or two minutes where it does actually appear to be blocked, or at least can't get connected. UFW | 08:39 |
| JediMaster | has a rule to allow everything from the client IPs (the ones listed in SRC= in the UFW syslog block reports), so why is UFW reporting them as blocked? | 08:39 |
| Mia | auscompgeek, I know | 08:39 |
| Mia | don't you see that it, too, shows in % | 08:39 |
| __unik | Ben64: thanks for answering sir. But you didn't know what my question is. | 08:39 |
| iptable | Ben64, apparently his users are too stupid to type in their password when they run sudo apt-get update. and too stupid to type that in... | 08:39 |
| JediMaster | And when the client can't connect to the server, it's the same on both clients | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | <__unik> <__unik> I want my program to update the system: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:40 |
| iptable | __unik, no, I still don't know why bother making everyone's life difficult | 08:40 |
| Ben64 | i can read perfectly fine. it still doesn't make any sense | 08:40 |
| Mia | aukaicue, oh so the virtual mem. is that? | 08:40 |
| Mia | VIRT | 08:40 |
| __unik | iptable: me? | 08:40 |
| iptable | __unik, yes. you. why are you doing that? they users have to type in a command to upgrade, one that everyone who uses CLI to upgrade should know. WHY bother? | 08:41 |
| iptable | __unik, if you want to run that command at boot, you are still not doing it right. all you have to do is put it in rc.local or in crontab as @reboot. not write bash scripts or C programs XD | 08:42 |
| __unik | iptable: I apologize I am not trying to bother anyone. You will need that when you are creating stuff like Ubuntu software center | 08:42 |
| iptable | __unik, no, you got me lost. break user's computers with upgrades they didn't want? | 08:43 |
| iptable | some users might want NOT to upgrade their packages for one reason or another... | 08:43 |
| iptable | and upgrading is NOT needed to install apps | 08:43 |
| __unik | iptable: My program will only do that when the user ask | 08:44 |
| auscompgeek | __unik: why are you writing yet *another* (and probably horrible, by the sounds of the conversation) apt frontend? we already have Synaptic and aptitude... | 08:44 |
| iptable | __unik, apt-get update; apt-get install whatever <= will upgrade all dependent packages to install what you need. | 08:44 |
| iptable | __unik, but the tool for upgrades is already there. it's called apt-get. and software centre too! | 08:44 |
| iptable | why make another app to call the first one! | 08:45 |
| __unik | lol sorry you guys. I gave up. | 08:45 |
| __unik | thank you | 08:45 |
| iptable | auscompgeek, and software centre - or 5 software centres I found so far actually :D | 08:45 |
| jpentland | Hi, I am trying to execute a binary (which has no parameters and that I can't recompile), but when running with strace I see it's missing the file "/lib/ld-linux.so.2". Is there a package I can install to get this file, or perhaps I need to create a symlink to a different "ld-linux.so.X"? | 08:45 |
| auscompgeek | iptable: and ubuntu's update manager... | 08:46 |
| iptable | jpentland, do you have the file? ls -l /lib/ld-linux.so.2 | 08:46 |
| eeee | !find ld-liux.so | 08:46 |
| ubottu | Package/file ld-liux.so does not exist in trusty | 08:46 |
| eeee | !find ld-linux.so | 08:46 |
| Ben64 | that file is in libc6 | 08:46 |
| ubottu | File ld-linux.so found in libc6, libc6-armel-armhf-cross, libc6-armel-cross, libc6-armhf-armel-cross, libc6-armhf-cross, manpages, manpages-fr, manpages-ja, manpages-pl | 08:46 |
| iptable | auscompgeek, ah yes. I like cinnamon software centre myself :D | 08:46 |
| jpentland | iptable, no the file isn't there | 08:46 |
| iptable | jpentland, ls -l /lib/ld-linux.so* | 08:47 |
| iptable | the user will already have libc or his system wouldn't work | 08:47 |
| jpentland | iptable, still nothing - locate ld-linux.so shows me "/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz" | 08:48 |
| Ben64 | jpentland: so what system are you running | 08:48 |
| jpentland | iptable, and yeah I tried installing libc6 but I had it already - | 08:48 |
| jpentland | Ben64, Ubuntu 14.04 | 08:48 |
| iptable | jpentland, what's the architecture? | 08:48 |
| jpentland | iptable, x86_64 | 08:49 |
| eeee | jpentland: do you have /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ? | 08:49 |
| Ben64 | sudo apt-get install libc6:amd64 libc6:i386 libc6-dbg:amd64 libc6-dev:amd64 libc6-i386 | 08:49 |
| iptable | :) | 08:49 |
| jpentland | iptable, yes i have that | 08:50 |
| eeee | jpentland: try to copy it to /lib/ so that your binary works, if you can't set any arguments or recompile | 08:50 |
| bcvery1 | I'm trying to set up a network printer (windows network) using system-config-printer on 14.04, I getting this error: pastebin.com/9jT1i9Qv | 08:50 |
| jpentland | Ben64, you are probably right that I need to install the 32-bit libs | 08:50 |
| iptable | jpentland, the binary is 32 bit one. you need to also install libc6:i386 to get 32-bit library for libc | 08:50 |
| jpentland | iptable, yeah I'm trying that now | 08:51 |
| iptable | jpentland, run Ben64 command. that will resolve this issue. you might need ot install more 32 bit libs after that. but yeah, that's the way | 08:51 |
| jpentland | iptable, ok thanks | 08:52 |
| iptable | jpentland, and don't use locate. it's not reliable, as you can see. always use find for full results. sudo find / -name "ld-linux.so*" | 08:52 |
| jpentland | iptable, yeah I don't expect it to return everything, I just normally run it first time round because its faster. If it doesn't return anything I know I can always try find later | 08:53 |
| auscompgeek | iptable: that find command wouldn't have found the library either | 08:53 |
| eeee | auscompgeek: it does | 08:53 |
| auscompgeek | eeee: I believe ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 doesn't match ld-linux.so* | 08:55 |
| jpentland | I wonder why Ubuntu/Debian are still referring to x86_64 as amd64 | 08:55 |
| eeee | auscompgeek: ah, my mistake, i thought it was ld-linux* | 08:56 |
| iptable | auscompgeek, good point :D ld-linux* | 08:56 |
| auscompgeek | iptable: in which case `locate ld-linux` would probably have found it as well :P | 08:56 |
| iptable | auscompgeek, although my "find" was : type in /lib, press tab-tab, type in x86_, press tab, type in ld-li, press tab tab :D | 08:56 |
| jpentland | n | 08:57 |
| eeee | auscompgeek: it wouldn't | 08:57 |
| eeee | auscompgeek: locate -r ld-linux* , would though | 08:57 |
| eeee | nevermind | 08:58 |
| eeee | :P | 08:58 |
| landau | hi, in my fstab I have this line: | 08:59 |
| landau | UUID=E0F2098BF20966DE /media/ACER ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 08:59 |
| landau | how to allow exec permissions for files? | 09:00 |
| hui | how can I set combination key to switch between specified programs to make work easier? Is there a software to achieve this? | 09:00 |
| eeee | hui: alt+tab | 09:00 |
| OerHeks | landau, ntfs is not posix, so there is no way to set a file as executable | 09:00 |
| landau | ohhh... :( I need files execution | 09:01 |
| hui | I open many program,,but I only want two of them for example ,others work background.. | 09:01 |
| eeee | landau: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/ | 09:01 |
| eeee | i think you need to add exec to the end of the line | 09:01 |
| iptable | landau, there *is* a way | 09:02 |
| landau | iptable, really?? | 09:03 |
| iptable | landau, on ntfs, if a file is .com or .exe, the file with automatically be marked as executable due to extension. | 09:03 |
| iptable | it's a workaround | 09:03 |
| landau | ok i'll try it | 09:03 |
| iptable | I wonder if one can give ntfs mount option to get all files to be executable. what's dmask/fmask? | 09:03 |
| eeee | landau: add exec to the end of the line ( it has to be the last option on the line ) | 09:03 |
| eeee | UUID=E0F2098BF20966DE /media/ACER ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,locale=en_US.UTF-8,exec 0 0 | 09:04 |
| landau | iptable, .exe non works :( | 09:04 |
| iptable | landau, or change the fmask. fmask is file mask for what permissions should files have by default. change to 027 from 137 and you all files will be marked as executable | 09:04 |
| landau | eeee, i'll try that...thanks! | 09:04 |
| iptable | I'm not sure ntfs driver supports exec. We will know soon :D | 09:05 |
| onla | hey. how do I change the window manager in lubuntu? In ubuntu I read it is storing info at /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/"YOURSESSION" but I don't have that in lubuntu | 09:05 |
| landau | iptable, yes, 027 might be a solution, but i don't like to have all files executable | 09:06 |
| iptable | landau, you do not have a choice. either all executable or none | 09:06 |
| eeee | landau: try adding the exec, it might work | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | landau: how are you planning on executing exe files anyway? | 09:06 |
| rom1504 | YoLtA is starting unsolicited query, talking about intelligent design, anybody up to ban him ? | 09:06 |
| iptable | landau, ntfs does NOT support posix permissions, so you cannot choose which file you want to be executable | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | rom1504: i'm not seeing anything | 09:06 |
| rom1504 | fine hopefully he's just doing that with me | 09:07 |
| eeee | landau: add exec , give it a shot brotha | 09:07 |
| iptable | rom1504, not on the channel he is now | 09:07 |
| iptable | not | 09:07 |
| landau | Ben64, I usually use ./file.exe | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | landau: ok, but exe files are for windows, not linux | 09:07 |
| rom1504 | iptable: ? #ubuntu is the only channel he is in | 09:07 |
| iptable | landau, for windows files you mean wine ./file.exe ? | 09:07 |
| OerHeks | !pm | YoLtA | 09:07 |
| ubottu | YoLtA: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. | 09:07 |
| iptable | rom1504, and not talking on it. not a single line I can see. | 09:08 |
| eeee | landau: add exec, it's on my responsibility | 09:08 |
| eeee | flyyyyyy | 09:08 |
| iptable | eeee, exec seems to make .exe files executable | 09:08 |
| iptable | landau, ^ | 09:08 |
| iptable | on ntfs that is | 09:08 |
| iptable | so you could try that | 09:08 |
| iptable | landau, you do realise you cannot run windows exec files under linux and that you need wine or an emulator? | 09:09 |
| landau | eeee, I'm editing fstab | 09:09 |
| landau | iptable, yes I know i can't exec windows files... :) | 09:10 |
| iptable | ok | 09:10 |
| eeee | landau: it has to be at the end | 09:10 |
| rom1504 | iptable: yes ofc he's just taking names here | 09:10 |
| landau | ok, how to remount partition without reboot? | 09:11 |
| iptable | rom1504, ignore list? tell him to talk to me as I am interested. I run a ##troll for demented people with psych issues too :D | 09:11 |
| iptable | rom1504, go for it. troll the troll | 09:11 |
| Caroga | landau, mount -a | 09:11 |
| iptable | landau, or mount -o remount,exec /path/where/it's/mounted | 09:12 |
| iptable | landau, that will temporarily add exec just on this occation to test. no need to change fstab | 09:12 |
| eeee | landau: sudo mount -o remount,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,locale=en_US.UTF-8,exec /media/ACER | 09:12 |
| iptable | eeee, won't -o remount,exec just add exec and take the rest from fstab? | 09:13 |
| iptable | I need to test that | 09:13 |
| landau | ok I'm triyng | 09:13 |
| iptable | eeee, it does indeed ;) mount -o remount,exec takes all options from fstab and adds exec to the end | 09:13 |
| iptable | eeee, mount -o exec,remount adds exec to the beginning it seems. quite cute | 09:13 |
| rom1504 | iptable: :D | 09:14 |
| eeee | ok, cool | 09:14 |
| iptable | rom1504, patience. annoy them so much with pointless responses that they will want you to stop :D I'm cruel like that. It appears I was born a troll but never utilised the power :D | 09:15 |
| landau | I reboot...stay toned | 09:15 |
| eeee | iptable: i'm toned, are you toned? | 09:16 |
| iptable | yup, toned 100% | 09:16 |
| iptable | it's the sun that keeps me toned ;) | 09:16 |
| eeee | hehe | 09:16 |

| landau | this is my line: UUID=E0F2098BF20966DE /media/ACER ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,locale=en_US.UTF-8,exec 0 0 | 09:19 |
| iptable | landau, change fmask ro 027 or remove it at all! fmask locks permissions, so exec and nothing else will work | 09:20 |
| iptable | landau, with fmask removed, exec *might* work. with fmask set to 027 all files will be set with executable flag. your call what you want to test and use | 09:20 |

| Caroga | o/ | 09:23 |
| Caroga | Got a question about using ACL. | 09:23 |
| Caroga | I have a group container three (application) users which I want to give full access to /cloud/media. | 09:24 |
| Caroga | Can I put the ACL persistency to group:group instead of owner:group ? | 09:24 |
| Caroga | on that folder that is. | 09:24 |
| Caroga | containing* | 09:25 |
| Caroga | anyone ? | 09:35 |
| iptable | Caroga, permissions are user:group | 09:38 |
| kk_drop | my menu_item_delete($mlid) not working when $mlid is view path. I must use normal query to remove link from database | 09:38 |
| Caroga | iptable, then giving that group full access is already enough ? | 09:38 |
| iptable | Caroga, I got no idea what you mean by group:group. it's user:group. you can use ACLs to give permission to more groups to a directory/file. | 09:38 |
| iptable | Caroga, yes. if a user belongs to that group and you give full access to that group, the user can change files in that dir. | 09:38 |
| Caroga | iptable, no matter who the owner is, if the group is there and with full access, then it's no problem ? | 09:39 |
| * iptable goes to figure out how to inflate his bicycle tyres on the weird connect they got. wtf is presta? | 09:39 | |
| vitimiti | Hi | 09:40 |
| iptable | Caroga, no. If the permission flags say group has rwx for group X, then no matter who is the user | 09:40 |
| iptable | Caroga, you need group ownership and access (chmod-type acl too). | 09:40 |
| Caroga | iptable, okey, because user1 will create a folder inside that mount, which will have user1:group. Since user2 is member of group, it will have no problems doing whatever he needs to do with that folder then. | 09:41 |
| iptable | Caroga, outside acl you would do: chmod 770 /test; chown -R user:group /test <= that would make the dir and all files belong to user:group and give full rwx permissions to the user and anyone who is member of said group | 09:41 |
| Caroga | Ofcourse I will setup ACL on that mount as well. | 09:41 |
| iptable | Caroga, as long as user1 gives rwx permission to the group | 09:41 |
| iptable | Caroga, default permissions, unless defualts are changed, are 755 (rwx for user, rx for group and all) | 09:41 |
| Caroga | iptable, that's the point, I dont want user1 to be setting all these rights everytime, I need it to be persistent, that's why I thought I needed ACL for. | 09:42 |
| iptable | Caroga, find ouot how to change defualt permissions on a directory. That's as far as I can go with this. | 09:42 |
| iptable | Caroga, no, you need default permissions for new dirs/files to be adjusted | 09:42 |
| iptable | Caroga, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1314/how-to-set-default-file-permissions-for-all-folders-files-in-a-directory | 09:43 |
| * iptable really goes now | 09:43 | |
| Caroga | iptable, thanks for the tip, I will search on how to do so | 09:43 |
| Caroga | iptable, thanks for the url and your time. | 09:43 |

| cyber_dweller | hello, i have set a tftp server with a pxe that launches winpe, after i mount the remote share from winpe, net use \\hostname\folder /user:username password, i'm getting access denied while trying to execute setup.exe from a loop mount of a windows iso image. i assume it is a permission issue in samba and windows 7. did anyone encoutered this situation? | 09:44 |
| CoolCoder | I have installed New version of Ubuntu 14.04, once logged in, i found there are some updates available. I clicked to update. after few mins, when I try to login, I gets message Incorrect login! Nice work! | 09:44 |
| iptable | Caroga, that's applying default group/user permission on newly created files/dirs using acls. that will work for you. happy reading :) | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | CoolCoder, wrong login name or wrong password. one or the other. | 09:44 |
| Caroga | yes thank you very much iptable ! | 09:44 |
| CoolCoder | it was the login box to enter the password. I have already logged in to same user and with same password to click on update. | 09:45 |

| cfhowlett | CoolCoder, ??? your description is confusing. you say you can't login ... but you have logged in ... | 09:45 |
| CoolCoder | I have explained. I have logged in to system after installation. then given for update as notified. after few mins, I have logged in again, so it was downloading the update. few mins later, again login box came, and when i tried to enter password to check the progress. it says wrong password | 09:47 |
| CoolCoder | hope its clear | 09:47 |

| daliak_ | hello | 09:58 |
| guest-44 | hi | 09:58 |
| daliak_ | i have installed xubuntu 12.04 | 09:58 |
| daliak_ | on an older pc | 09:58 |
| daliak_ | while installing from live cd | 09:59 |
| daliak_ | it freezed for a couple of times | 09:59 |
| daliak_ | it has now restarted and I am at the login screen. it hasn't remembered the layout i have applied for in the installation, and it doesn't recognize the password i gave it | 10:00 |
| guest-44 | i'm using mythbuntu 14.04. my computer freezes when firefox is running for some time(with default kernel it happened even without firefox running). i think this happens since i upgraded to 14.04. i tried with 3.16.3 kernel but still freezes. syslog shows no sign of warnings/errors when freeze occured. anyone knows how to fix this? | 10:00 |
| cfhowlett | !password | daliak_, | 10:00 |
| ubottu | daliak_,: 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 | 10:00 |
| Mia | is there a point to use the sudo command when you're already the root user ? | 10:00 |
| CoolCoder | cfhowlett, I am not able to login now. I am sure about my login and password. I am a normal user. Can you give me any link to know how to reset the password without login? I have googled and they says when we press Shift key on rebooting, we will get a recovery screen. for me nothing. it goes to login screen again | 10:00 |
| cfhowlett | !password | CoolCoder | 10:01 |
| ubottu | CoolCoder: 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 | 10:01 |
| CoolCoder | the root password is what I am trying to login. username and password same. plts & plts | 10:01 |
| CoolCoder | nothing is working now! | 10:01 |
| cfhowlett | CoolCoder, the exact key to boot into recovery might be specific to your machine. experiment: alt, shift, ctrl ... | 10:01 |
| cfhowlett | !root | CoolCoder, root password? | 10:02 |
| ubottu | CoolCoder, root password?: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:02 |
| CoolCoder | "it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password" - ? How can I get the terminal screen? its ok, i will try reinstalling again from starting. Thanks | 10:03 |
| OerHeks | guest-44, hard to say what could be wrong, roll back that 3.16.3 kernel as it is not supported | 10:03 |
| cfhowlett | CoolCoder, reinstall is unnecessary. (this ain't windows!) | 10:03 |
| daliak_ | cfhowlett, i tried | 10:04 |
| daliak_ | nothing happens | 10:04 |
| daliak_ | when i press shift at booting | 10:04 |
| guest-44_ | re, i got disconnected. did anyone answer to my question? | 10:04 |
| OerHeks | guest-44, hard to say what could be wrong, roll back that 3.16.3 kernel as it is not supported | 10:05 |
| guest-44_ | OerHeks: you mean 3.13? | 10:05 |
| guest-44_ | OerHeks: i had 3.13(default) in use before. then it froze even with no firefox running | 10:06 |
| OerHeks | after rollback, try memtest86 to see what is wrong with your ram first | 10:06 |
| guest-44_ | OerHeks: if i had to guess i would say it's the graphics driver. it caused lockups in the past. but these lockups showed errors in syslog if i recall correctly. | 10:07 |
| guest-44_ | (or Xorg.log) don't know | 10:08 |
| Alive | I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and have run into a kernel panic. I cant boot my system now. I have two choices, find the problem and fix it or re-install. Re-install is a HUGE job since this system has many many configurations, its a development laptop for Webdevelopment, Android Development, c and c++ and more... | 10:08 |
| cfhowlett | Alive, or reboot into advanced options and choose older kernel | 10:08 |
| CoolCoder | cfhowlett, (this ain't windows!), windows never shows such errors. Sad to say, for a normal user, its a bad experience. after update he cant login to the system or cant do anythnig! I can understand this is opensource etc. | 10:09 |
| Alive | chhowlett, thank for the try, however this sistem will not boot up even when trying advanced options... I get the same kernel panic. | 10:09 |
| Alive | cfhowlett, | 10:09 |
| Alive | * | 10:09 |
| cfhowlett | Alive, ah, that's ... bad. | 10:09 |
| guest-44_ | Alive: older kernel doesn't work? weird :o | 10:10 |
| daliak_ | cfhowlett, i have tried pressing both shift and esc | 10:10 |
| guest-44_ | Alive: but you can always boot a livecd and save your work | 10:10 |
| daliak_ | @cfhowlett nothing happens, tho | 10:10 |
| cfhowlett | daliak_, "tab" ... | 10:10 |
| cfhowlett | Alive, what guest-44 waid ... | 10:11 |
| cfhowlett | *said* | 10:11 |
| Alive | cfhowlett, I have actually tried an older kernel by renaming the vmlinuz link in the root manually. Same kernel panic message. | 10:11 |
| daliak_ | @cfhowlett i tried tab, no result. i don't even see the grub thing at booting. | 10:11 |
| Alive | guest-44 I can save my work, but this system has loads and loads of configs and installs on it. Not all is lost, but I am trying to find the reason for the kernel panic so I can rather perhaps just fix that. | 10:12 |
| cfhowlett | Alive, this is above my pay grade. ask in channel. I'd be backing up and reinstalling at this point. | 10:12 |
| Alive | cfhowlett, yeah well thats my last resort. | 10:13 |
| Alive | I am hoping that some ubuntu expert would be able to read the kernel panic message and perhaps deduce the reason. | 10:13 |
| cfhowlett | daliak_, press "shift" CONTINUOUSLY to get grub ... | 10:13 |
| Alive | or something. | 10:13 |
| daliak_ | @cfhowlett that doesn't work either | 10:14 |
| brew | Hi, i have been looking everywhere to find info on how to get ubuntu 14.04 LTS automatically mount a partition named DATA at bootup... any feedback on this please? | 10:15 |
| cfhowlett | daliak_, don't know what else to suggest ... sorry | 10:16 |
| eeee | brew: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions | 10:17 |

| === xubuntu is now known as Guest46680 | ||
| gms_ | I have no knowledge on python, | 11:11 |
| iptable | searching, last link I am sharing with you unless you can tell me what is the purpose of this excercise: http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/simple-cgi-and-apache-examples-on-ubuntu-linux | 11:12 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, :( sorry nobody going to answer you in a programming task, if you are really interested check out ##programming | 11:12 |
| iptable | searching, it explains how to make all cgi scripts works on ubuntu on apache2 | 11:12 |
| searching | i follow your link but config don`t work | 11:12 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: No no, I've been just looking for some hints. surely I'll handle the programming part | 11:12 |
| iptable | searching, and as stated, your cgi scripts need to be executable (+x) | 11:12 |
| searching | yes chmod +x script.py | 11:13 |
| searching | not working | 11:13 |
| gms_ | thanks for your helps. I'll take a look at cron jobs | 11:13 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, I gave you a hint, but in python :) | 11:13 |
| iptable | searching, "don't work" does not help me. I also need logs, your config all in pastebin. oh and an answer to "what is the purpose of this excercise" would be appreciated. | 11:13 |
| gms_ | :) I wish I knew python. Thank you anyway | 11:13 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, What language are you working on? | 11:13 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: well, I'm not a programmer but I know C and C++ | 11:14 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, Well, you want to write a bash script then? | 11:14 |
| iptable | with C/C++ knowledge, learning all other languages is rather simple. unless you don't do OOP, in which case, prepare to have your brain turned inside out. | 11:15 |
| iptable | gms_, ^ | 11:15 |
| iptable | in python, even a string is an object :/ | 11:15 |
| somsip | gms_: /var/log/apt/history has everything in there, so perhaps easier to parse this. dpkg --get-selections dumps installed packages. | 11:15 |
| TheBigDeal | iptable, OOP ;) | 11:15 |
| searching | iptable I found something like RewriteEngine On | 11:15 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: I guess yes. Once upon a time , I had written an alarm script which used to warn me after passing 1 hr in front of computer | 11:15 |
| iptable | there is time and place for OOP, I just don't understand people pushing it on your everywhere. some things are best left without it. | 11:15 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, What command have you been using to retrieve the logs of the installed packages? | 11:16 |
| iptable | searching, you have still failed to answer any question from my last sentence | 11:16 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: dpkg --get-selections > log.file | 11:16 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, Great :) | 11:16 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: file.lgo | 11:16 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:16 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, oh yeah, what do you want to add to this? | 11:17 |
| gms_ | somsip: I'd like it to log installed packages on regular basis. | 11:17 |
| searching | iptable thanks for help | 11:17 |
| somsip | gms_: then this seems to be more a programming query than an ubuntu problem. | 11:18 |
| iptable | gms_, TheBigDeal got a better one. use aptitude to list only manually selected packages | 11:18 |
| searching | I search search search | 11:18 |
| iptable | and yet you fail fail fail to answer any questions from people whoa re trying to help you for free. | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | !details | searching, | 11:19 |
| ubottu | searching,: 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) | 11:19 |
| gms_ | iptable: I don't think I've understoond it well | 11:19 |
| somsip | gms_: but a cronjob to 'dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/packages$(date+"%m_%d_%Y).log' might be enough for you | 11:19 |
| TheBigDeal | iptable, Good idea, but still can't figure out what gms_ exactly want to accomplish | 11:19 |
| OerHeks | cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ installed\ " | 11:19 |
| iptable | TheBigDeal, good point. that should be the first question | 11:20 |
| searching | Ok thanks for helping I am on my own | 11:20 |
| TheBigDeal | searching, assume that you are just joined the channel, and ask a self-contained question again | 11:20 |
| TheBigDeal | :) | 11:20 |
| somsip | gms_: (typos in last suggestions - fixable) | 11:20 |
| iptable | searching, well, if you refuse to help us help you, you are on your own. no problelm. | 11:21 |
| searching | where is located httpd.conf file? | 11:21 |
| iptable | TheBigDeal, apt-mark showmanual ;) | 11:21 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: Every time I reinstall the os I don't want to bother with package installations. That's why I'd like to keep log it and keep it updated | 11:21 |
| somsip | searching: /etc/apache2/ | 11:21 |
| searching | ok thanks | 11:21 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, What's the problem with the code you have written already, what it cannot do? | 11:22 |
| iptable | somsip, he wants to know why cgi doesn't work for him but fails to provide 1. his config files, 2. his logs, 3. the purpose for trying cgi as opposed to dedicated apache2 modueles | 11:22 |
| somsip | iptable: and he's on his own with that as far as I'm concerned. But I'll tell him where config files live :) | 11:22 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: It works fine but I want to automate this process. Say, every monday the os logs the installed packages . | 11:22 |
| TheBigDeal | aha | 11:23 |
| somsip | gms_: cronjob. bash command of your choice. Example already given (that needs some work) | 11:23 |
| TheBigDeal | cron jobs then | 11:23 |
| iptable | gms_, 1. on fresh install run apt-mark showmanual. save to file1. 2. regularly run apt-mark showmanual and save to file2. a diff of file1 and file2 will show you which packages you manually installed after the original system deployment. | 11:23 |
| === el_toro is now known as t0r0 | ||
| gms_ | iptable: thanks. I'm noting this one too. | 11:24 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, use apt-mark showmanual | 11:24 |
| iptable | gms_, you will need |sort before using diff. | 11:24 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, But remember not remove the 'file.log' before formating your HD to re-install ubuntu, because this is going be the worst scenario ever | 11:25 |
| TheBigDeal | ;P | 11:25 |
| iptable | gms_, it IS considered the best solution, with apt-mark ;) | 11:25 |
| weriou | I have 2 PCs running ubuntu 14.04 . If both have the same usernames, then will it be a problem to share folders with samba? | 11:25 |
| * iptable goes to buy more spray paint. restoring my outdoor bench | 11:26 | |
| iptable | weriou, I already answered you | 11:26 |
| weriou | sorry there was some problem with IRC | 11:26 |
| weriou | I didnt get the messages | 11:26 |
| iptable | weriou, no is the answer. no problem. | 11:26 |
| gms_ | iptable: I see. But I'm not on a fresh install at the moment. How can apt-mark deal with this ? | 11:26 |
| TheBigDeal | gms_, I mean to save it in a safe location | 11:26 |
| gms_ | TheBigDeal: ^^ | 11:26 |
| iptable | gms_, it cannot. download a manifest file for your ubuntu version. it will have a list of stuff installed during system install. use that for comparizon. | 11:27 |
| iptable | gms_, alternativelyt install a fresh ubuntu in a VM and generate the file that way | 11:27 |
| gms_ | iptable: aha . I got it | 11:27 |
| iptable | gms_, OR, be diligent and just keep an up-to-date list everytime you install something | 11:27 |
| * iptable really goes now | 11:28 | |
| gms_ | thanks people . I appreciate your help! See you | 11:28 |

| quants | can anybody help me, my laptop battery is not working, i thinks its softwere issue | 12:04 |
| cfhowlett | quants, not working = ??? | 12:04 |
| zeeble | If your laptop does not boot with the battery only connected, and only boots when you connect AC Power, you need to get it checked. | 12:05 |
| cyber_dweller | hello, i have set a tftp server with a pxe that launches winpe, after i mount the remote share from winpe, net use \\hostname\folder /user:username password, i'm getting access denied while trying to execute setup.exe from a loop mount of a windows iso image. i assume it is a permission issue in samba and windows 7. did anyone encoutered this situation? | 12:05 |

| Mia | How to run apps installed to /var/www from a non-root user? | 12:07 |
| wheeei | Im getting mixed messages, if I wanna dual-boot with windows should I overwrite windows MBR with grub or should I install the ubuntu boot loader to the root-partion? | 12:08 |
| wheeei | I only got 2 OS on the computer.. | 12:08 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> it seems to be a problem in thw booting of the computer | 12:08 |
| cyber_dweller | wheeei, what r u trying to do? | 12:09 |
| zeeble | First install Windows. Then install ubuntu. And install grub into the mbr. | 12:09 |
| cyber_dweller | wheeei, r u migrating or just trying out the linux flavor | 12:10 |
| wheeei | cyber_dweller just installing ubuntu alongside windows, read that a warning about overwriting the mbr with grub when using multiple OS but I think it's only when you use more than 2 os | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | quants, boot while plugged in, insert battery and run battery test utilities | 12:10 |
| wheeei | cyber_dweller not trying, I'm gonna use it heavily but still want my windows | 12:10 |
| cyber_dweller | wheeei, then you should replace windows boot loader with grub | 12:11 |
| wheeei | ok thanx | 12:11 |
| wheeei | guess the warning was only for 3 or more os | 12:11 |
| cyber_dweller | you should install it on the drive and not on a partition | 12:11 |

| sid_ | Hello, I've got intel i3 motherboard with ubuntu installation , but everything seems bigger than usual and i unaware of installing graphics on ubuntu . Can anyone help me some guide or so how to install graphics on ubuntu | 12:16 |
| bazhang | sid_, what card | 12:16 |
| sid_ | bazhang: sorry i didnt understand | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | quants, updating or upgrading? what ubuntu release do you have? | 12:17 |
| bazhang | sid_, the additional drivers should list any, if they are available to your particular graphics card | 12:17 |
| bazhang | sid_, lspci to pastebin please | 12:17 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> i have 14.04 lts, ive been running it since its release with no trouble | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | quants, so it stopped ... froze? | 12:18 |
| sid_ | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8478858/ | 12:18 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> i cant be fully shore when it happened as it was out of power so i put it on charge and i was not working, i charged again but no joy. | 12:19 |
| bazhang | sid_, so it's an integrated intel chip | 12:19 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> very od | 12:19 |
| sid_ | bazhang: yes i think | 12:20 |
| bazhang | sid_, there are not likely to be any on offer from the additional drivers facility | 12:20 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> sombody said it could be related to grub | 12:20 |
| bazhang | sid_, did you need to run some 3D game or something similar? | 12:20 |
| sid_ | bazhang: no, but on chrome or mozilla everything seems bigger | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | quants, I seriously doubt the software impacted the hardware ... sounds as if your installation was scrambled if you now can't boot. suggest you boot an ubuntu USB and backup your data. then reinstall. sorry, no better options come to my mind. ask around | 12:21 |
| bazhang | sid_, checking xrandr , whats available as far as resolution | 12:21 |
| quants | <cfhowlett> i have a link, could you take a look? | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | quants, send it | 12:22 |

| sid_ | bazhang: i dont know , but its showing like that | 12:25 |
| sid_ | bazhang: but when i go to display , its showing up to 1024 pixels only | 12:25 |
| bazhang | sid_, I meant the 32k one | 12:25 |

| mroszkowski | Soooo, I'm wondering if there's any prefered alterantives to ntopng that look as polished but don't require a paid-license for the netflow collector.

I read something about GRUB having to be installed on /dev/sda on newer machines - can somebody confirm this? /dev/sda is my big slow HDD, and /dev/sdb is my SSD. | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | burkmat, eh? doesn't sound right. | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | !grub2 | burkmat try again with the "restore grub" option here | 14:04 |
| ubottu | burkmat try again with the "restore grub" option here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | burkmat, assuming you ran a live ubuntu session, how ubuntu friendly is that m3800? | 14:04 |
| burkmat | cfhowlett: I'm told it's supposedly extremely Ubuntu-friendly. I was shocked to notice touch-screen worked out of the box on LiveCD. Already tried to manually fix grub btw, either getting a message about "GRUB_CRYPTODISK_ENABLE" not being set in /etc/default/grub, which seems to be a fake error. | 14:05 |

| EiriksHDD | hello, I am trying to delete a directory as well as it's sub-directories, and the files that are in those directories, it says i don't have permission even though i used sudo, please tell me how to do this | 14:13 |
| cfhowlett | burkmat, I've not touched this configuration so I'm reluctant to guess/advise. suggest you consult the dell forums for more informed info | 14:13 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: What filesystem is it? | 14:15 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: You may need to chmod +w it | 14:15 |
| EiriksHDD | it's in my home folder | 14:15 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: You may need to chmod +w -R it | 14:15 |
| EiriksHDD | ok, thank you | 14:15 |
| EiriksHDD | trying it now | 14:15 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: Well, I think I have that backwards, chmod -R +w | 14:16 |
| mroszkowski | EricksHDD: sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory should work | 14:16 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: But secify the directory... | 14:16 |
| mroszkowski | the "-f" is force and the "-r" is recursive | 14:17 |
| usr13 | mroszkowski: I was assuming that is what he did... | 14:17 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: But yes, as mroszkowski suggests, try -rf | 14:17 |
| EiriksHDD | awesome, mroszkowski your solution worked, thank you | 14:18 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: What command were you using that did *not* work? | 14:19 |
| EiriksHDD | i tried sudo rmdir | 14:19 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: If it was rmdir, that is only for empty ones. | 14:19 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: from the man file: "rmdir - remove empty directories" | 14:20 |
| EiriksHDD | okay that makes sense, i did try sudo rm -r but that didn't work either | 14:20 |
| EiriksHDD | so i needed the -rf (recursive, force) | 14:21 |
| mroszkowski | EiriksHDD: don't forget the "f" to force it to remove the directory even though it has files in it. | 14:21 |
| mroszkowski | EiriksHDD: yes | 14:21 |
| usr13 | EiriksHDD: rm -rf is the standard way to remove a directory that is not empty. But be sure you get the path correct, it can be a dangerous command. | 14:21 |
| mroszkowski | Agreed | 14:21 |
| EiriksHDD | yes, i also know it can be a pain to recover, but not to much :) | 14:22 |
| EiriksHDD | thank you both for the assistance | 14:22 |

| * eeee head explodes | 14:46 | |
| blippe | iptable, unregistered_bob, mroszkowski and please escape that ! with find ./ \! -name '*.mp3' | 14:47 |
| iptable | mroszkowski, unregistered_bob, without escaping the dot in grep -E, you will get false positives, it will for example match rob.mp3 but also robmp3 | 14:47 |
| iptable | blippe++ | 14:47 |
| iptable | or, to be sure: find ./ -type f -not -name '*.mp3' | 14:47 |
| iptable | unregistered_bob, ^ | 14:47 |

| vitimiti | Hi | 15:00 |
| grobe0ba | wheeei, mysql and postgres put their database storage in /var | 15:01 |
| grobe0ba | personalized websites are generally in home directories if they have a local user account, e.g. a shell server | 15:01 |
| grobe0ba | otherwise, you'll have to set up some other system for them to deploy a web site and set up virtual hosts | 15:02 |
| Alive | I need some advice: package crda, when uninstalled from a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS causes a kernel panic. ( ie no complete boot-up just a frozen system with a stack trace on the screen ). package crda has a priority of optional noted in its control file. One would thus not expect a kernel panic after uninstalling it. | 15:02 |
| wheeei | ok so I should make the home-partion a bit bigger than most if I plan to develop a lot of websites locally grobe0ba ? | 15:02 |
| wheeei | I mean root-partion | 15:03 |
| === ivo is now known as Guest20246 | ||

| grobe0ba | it all depends on the use case, and exactly how you plan to deploy web sites | 15:03 |

| cyber_dweller | can somebody help with samba permissions? | 15:03 |

| grobe0ba | or will you be using nginx? | 15:04 |
| wheeei | eeee yes, probably! | 15:04 |

| grobe0ba | that question has literally a million answers | 15:06 |
| grobe0ba | you need to google, and figure out what's right for you | 15:06 |

| grobe0ba | cyber_dweller, no? | 15:06 |
| grobe0ba | nginx | 15:06 |
| grobe0ba | nginx is the leading performance httpd right now | 15:06 |
| wheeei | grobe0ba it's just for development anyway | 15:07 |
| grobe0ba | wheeei, how much disk space are you playing with? | 15:07 |
| wheeei | around 200gb | 15:07 |
| grobe0ba | i mean, the average website is maybe a couple of hundred mb | 15:07 |
| grobe0ba | unless you are hosting some pretty big files, it shouldn't really matter much | 15:07 |
| grobe0ba | or, you could go the really easy route, and not use seperate partitions | 15:08 |
| grobe0ba | one big partition with everything | 15:08 |

| grobe0ba | 18gb for swap is useless | 15:08 |
| grobe0ba | 4gb tops | 15:08 |

| grobe0ba | searching, yup. go learn how apache works | 15:09 |
| cyber_dweller | wheeei, there's no difference, partition, using your whole drive, or using the partition. the most important is redundancy | 15:09 |
| wheeei | gah that swap-partion confuse me everyone is saying diffrent things | 15:09 |
| grobe0ba | you can't directly go /cgi-bin/script | 15:09 |
| searching | help me please | 15:09 |
| grobe0ba | wheeei, a good rule of thumb is 1.5x the amount of ram you have | 15:09 |
| wheeei | that would be 18gb | 15:10 |
| grobe0ba | but after 8gbs or so, that's stupid | 15:10 |
| grobe0ba | searching, already told you what's wrong | 15:10 |
| OerHeks | swap size depends, if you want to hybernate/sleep or not | 15:10 |
| grobe0ba | you need to learn how to use cgi and apache correctly | 15:10 |
| grobe0ba | which can be found in apache's manuals | 15:10 |

| cyber_dweller | grobe0ba, it depends at what you do. i'm using 12gibi of swap sometimes | 15:11 |

| cyber_dweller | grobe0ba, hhh | 15:11 |
| searching | ok | 15:11 |
| grobe0ba | do you mean you HAVE 12gb of swap, or you actually USE all of that 12gb? | 15:11 |
| grobe0ba | 'cause having it is simply a waste of space | 15:12 |
| cyber_dweller | grobe0ba, it's on my san system | 15:12 |
| grobe0ba | USING it all means you have a problem | 15:12 |
| grobe0ba | SAN should be low memory usage, medium cpu, high network and disk | 15:12 |

| jaksi | hi | 15:13 |
| wheeei | somsip I didn't consider that I could need more space on root-partion for web-development 5 hours ago. | 15:13 |

| grobe0ba | he'll never use it | 15:13 |
| jaksi | i'm trying to create a kickstart config which removes existing partitions and installs ubuntu | 15:13 |
| grobe0ba | wheeei, use freebsd and zfs, then it won't matter. | 15:13 |
| jaksi | but it can't delete LVM groups | 15:13 |
| jaksi | it asks for a confirmation during install | 15:14 |
| wheeei | grobe0ba made my mind up, thanx anyway! | 15:14 |
| jaksi | despite having 'clearpart --all' in my ks.cfg | 15:14 |
| grobe0ba | i'm happy to see clueless people stay where they belong. no skin off my back. | 15:14 |
| iptable | uhm no. you should have 1.5x your RAM if you want reliable hibernation | 15:14 |
| grobe0ba | iptable, yeah, i doubt it's hibernating | 15:15 |
| iptable | so if you have 12GB of RAM and want hibernation to work, I would advise AT LEAST 15GB, preferably 18GB. | 15:15 |
| grobe0ba | sounded more like a semi-remote always on dev box to me | 15:15 |
| cyber_dweller | hello, i have set a tftp server with a pxe that launches winpe, after i mount the remote share from winpe, net use \\hostname\folder /user:username password, i'm getting access denied while trying to execute setup.exe from a loop mount of a windows iso image. i assume it is a permission issue in samba and windows 7. did anyone encoutered this situation? | 15:15 |
| iptable | If you don't want hibernation, 4GB of SWAP should be more than enough. Truth being - if you hit swap as you ran out of RAM, you are doing something wrong. | 15:15 |
| wheeei | I want hibernation to work so yeah I will have 18gb swap | 15:16 |
| grobe0ba | iptable, you're wasting your time | 15:16 |
| grobe0ba | or not | 15:16 |
| ivo_ | hello...I would like to assign an old home folder to a new active user is it possible? | 15:16 |
| grobe0ba | was about to say we've been over that | 15:16 |
| ivo_ | with aplications and hidden files and folders? | 15:16 |
| grobe0ba | yes | 15:16 |
| iptable | wheeei, didn't you ask me exactly the same question about 4 hours ago and didn't you get exactly the same answer then? | 15:16 |
| ivo_ | I mean sort of bring it back to login again | 15:16 |
| cyber_dweller | iptable, you can always add swap with files so don't worry to much about it | 15:16 |
| grobe0ba | just set it in /etc/passwd, and then update the permissions | 15:16 |
| iptable | cyber_dweller, no, for hibernation you cannot. hibernation doesn't work with swap files. | 15:16 |
| wheeei | iptable I didn't ask anything about the swap file now hehe it was grobe0ba who brought it up when I mentioned how I'm gonna partion my disks ;P | 15:17 |
| iptable | wheeei, oh, ok. I forgive you then :P | 15:17 |
| cyber_dweller | iptable, you can | 15:17 |
| cyber_dweller | iptable, Using a swap file instead of a swap partition requires an additional kernel parameter resume_offset=swap_file_offset | 15:18 |
| iptable | cyber_dweller, only if you install uswsusp which will modify the linux kernel suspend method to work with swap files. that's a hack, not a solution | 15:19 |
| === jParkton_ is now known as jParkton | ||
| iptable | suspending to swap file is not officially supported nor considered stable enough to promote. hence still the use of swap partitions. also hibernation to swap file only works on certain filesystems. | 15:19 |

| cyber_dweller | iptable, yep. when i mount it in winpe as user it doesn't work. when i mount it as user root it works. same ocassions i've added uid=user gid=user to the mount command and it was mounted as user and group that i chose but file access was limited | 15:25 |

| iptable | cyber_dweller, so samba shares only allow you execution if you access them as root, but not if you access them as normal user(?). That sounds wrong. Can you launch them normally using a proper windows install? or using a linux access to the share and wine? just to see if it's winpe problem or samba issue | 15:32 |
| JCT | ok..... i don't think of all my words at once. | 15:32 |
| jopro | example pokerstar have installed in wine works but does not connect to the servers and had not been online | 15:32 |

| usr13 | JCT: You can use youtube-dl to download the video and whatch it with mplayer | 15:32 |
| iptable | jopro, as stated, take that to #winehq, they are more equipped to deal with windows-compatibility-layer apps | 15:33 |

| guest-lkajdf_431 | guys - alll I'm finding on google so far is for sharing dirs across a network, not between users on the local machine. I've tried to do this in the past and ran into problems because the location I chose to create the dir and or the way I want about it (using soft links between the users home dir and just /home). If anyone can point me to information on the internat (I'm mean instructions a 4 yr old could follow); or is willi | 17:23 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | it - please do. | 17:23 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | thanks in advance :0 | 17:23 |
| sp3ck | guest-lkajdf_431, I think you should create a folder with correct permissions 770, if i understand correctly what you're up to, and place it under /home dir. So let's say you have /home/tarzan (as user1), /home/jane (as user2), /home/tarzan-jane-shared (as shared dir) | 17:23 |
| trism | mustmodify: you want the paths from the first find which are not in the second find? find . -type f -name 'foo*' -and \! -name '*bar' -print; something like that? | 17:24 |
| sp3ck | guest-lkajdf_431, and create a shortcut on their desktops as well. | 17:24 |
| leporello | guest-lkajdf_431, or you can create it anywhere with same permissions. /share or /srv/share, which you can share to network if you want | 17:25 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | sp3ck: ok. That's the general way I tried to do it before. I must have made mistakes when I tried it first time. I'll giver it a shot and come back if I have probs. | 17:26 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | thx | 17:26 |
| sp3ck | guest-lkajdf_431, if you want a more automated solution upon creating new users an they all have the same dir as shared, I suppose you can modify the default bash profile | 17:26 |
| sp3ck | no p. | 17:27 |

| usr13 | guest-lkajdf_431: I use nfs | 17:29 |
| usr13 | !nfs | guest-lkajdf_431 | 17:29 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | sp3ck, There's just one more thing I'd like to ask for clarification on/be reminded. By default, the /home dir on ubuntu 14 has --> drwxr-xr-x 4 root root <-- perms/ownership. Now, isn't there something in linux about how the perms/ownership of a parent dir effects the perms of the sub dir in it? And, what is that about? | 17:29 |
| ubottu | guest-lkajdf_431: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 17:29 |

| usr13 | guest-lkajdf_431: /etc/group | 17:31 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | But when I struggled with this before I think it was bc I didn't understand the way perms work between parent and sub dir and all that | 17:31 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | iirc, if the parent dir has tighter perms than the sub dir, then the parent dir's perms take precedence?? | 17:32 |
| usr13 | guest-lkajdf_431: Probably because you did not correctly set permissions and did not have everyone in the same group | 17:32 |
| sp3ck | guest-lkajdf_431, i think your point envolves umask but generally for your purpose, no | 17:32 |

| Dylan | Using Ubuntu 14.04 | 17:38 |
| daftykins | Dylan: what was the file you downloaded? ideally you should stick to installing packages | 17:40 |
| Dylan | Let's see here... | 17:40 |
| Dylan | I installed fluxgui from the terminal. | 17:41 |
| Dylan | And right now it shows up as running in my System Monitor. | 17:41 |
| Dylan | But there's no GUI to interact with. | 17:41 |
| daftykins | Dylan: if you can, try and respond on less lines so i don't have to keep looking up and down multiple screens to glue your conversation together. it's very spammy. | 17:42 |
| Dylan | Understood. | 17:42 |
| daftykins | ok so that's a very diferent version than i first expected, have you consulted their documentation to how the program works under Linux? | 17:42 |
| Dylan | No. | 17:43 |
| daftykins | that would be port of call #1 then in my opinion | 17:44 |
| burkmat | So it seems that when attempting to install to a hybrid laptop, the installer first wonders which disk to install the OS to, then just tries to install GRUB to whatever disk was first in the list. When that failed, I was prompted to select a new location for GRUB, but doing so failed the install anyway. Setting up my own partition table and selecting the right GRUB-disk from the get-go seems to have resolved it. | 17:45 |
| Dylan | Looking it up now. You mentioned that's a very different version than you first expected. Which version were you expecting? | 17:45 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | usr13: ok, I didn't see a mention of whether umask is global (when you change the setting it goes from /root down recursively) or more local (you have options and can set multiple umask values for specific dirs under /root). However, I only ask from curiousity since I don't think umask is really needed in my case (I only need a single shared folder where the members of that group have full access but if you aren't a member of | 17:45 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | nothing). | 17:45 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | With that in mind... | 17:45 |

| guest-lkajdf_431 | sp3ck: sorry, I asked a question about umask only out of curiosity, so that one doesn't matter. What I really wanted to ask is what the perms and ownership ought to look like for /home (what would be the parent dir of my shared folder), for /home/<the_shared_dir>, and for any soft links that would be used to connect the user to the shared dir. Now I'm guessing about the need for links, maybe using links to make the shared di | 17:56 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | home dir is not the right way). | 17:56 |
| guest-lkajdf_431 | guess there's two questions in the above. Whether to use links to show the shared dir in each user's /home/<user_name> | 17:57 |

Has the iso been mislabeld? | 18:22 |

| OerHeks | Mattias__, it doesn't | 18:31 |
| daftykins | abdel: find where it stores its' configuration files and delete them | 18:31 |
| Mattias__ | Quatroking: first I go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download select ubuntu desktop -> 64bit -> then I get this iso link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you/?version=14.04.1&architecture=amd64 | 18:31 |

| Wulframn | Quatroking: it sends line that driver is causing all kinds of grief. Try using the open-source driver. | 18:35 |
| daftykins | abdel: "sudo apt-get purge transmission" then "sudo apt-get install transmission" | 18:35 |
| Quatroking | Wulframn, alright, how do I switch | 18:35 |

| daftykins | Quatroking: it's using the nvidia device then yeah, is this standard ubuntu or are you using lu or xu? | 18:58 |
| Quatroking | standard | 18:58 |
| Quatroking | but aren't those all the same under the hood, other than the graphical shell? | 18:58 |
| daftykins | Quatroking: hmm i'm amazed the 3D of ubuntu's unity is still working for you without showing the artefacting. i think it's game over with that damaged machine i'm afraid, doesn't look like much choice there | 18:58 |
| daftykins | Quatroking: they use different desktop environments yes, i'd probably run xubuntu on yours to avoid the unnecessary graphical elements | 18:59 |
| Quatroking | I thought about that but tried vanilla ubuntu for the heck of it | 18:59 |

| Killswitch | Hello guys, I am having an issue upgrading Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS ImageMagick from 6.7.7 to 6.8.9 from source. I do everything like ImageMagick's site says, but get "Illegal Instruction" | 20:43 |
| Killswitch | I searched for the last few days and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this | 20:43 |
| daftykins | PermaNull: did you run the disc check yet? i'm not really up for more responses until that's tested | 20:43 |
| ObrienDave | Killswitch, use the repo version | 20:43 |
| PermaNull | daftykins, give me a moment the thing is being picky. | 20:44 |
| daftykins | Killswitch: if you're lucky you might find someone willing to assist, but we typically don't support non packages | 20:44 |
| Killswitch | ObrienDave: the repo version is too old. We need the new version. | 20:44 |
| ObrienDave | Killswitch, glwt | 20:44 |
| Killswitch | So no possible help at all, like maybe figuring out what the heck "illegal instruction" even means and how to work around it? | 20:45 |
| PermaNull | Killswitch, Where are you encountering "Illegal instruction" | 20:45 |
| ObrienDave | illegal instruction is just what it sounds like. something compiled wrong | 20:45 |
| PermaNull | What are you executing/doing when that happens? | 20:46 |

| PermaNull | Killswitch, I'd have to agree with daftykins and say you need to contact imagemagick directly. | 20:50 |
| PermaNull | It appears to be an ongoing bug in their software. | 20:50 |
| PermaNull | http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24353 | 20:50 |
| PermaNull | Probably no the same version but it's reported again and again per version it seems. | 20:51 |
| PermaNull | *not | 20:51 |
| Killswitch | Yeah the only thing I found even near what issue I am having said "install older version" then "this has been fixed in new version" but all versions are older than what we need. heh | 20:51 |
| daftykins | Killswitch: tried finding a PPA with newer builds? | 20:51 |
| daftykins | that's your other, still unsupported option | 20:52 |
| OerHeks | Killswitch, try this way configure ,make, make install http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-imagemagick-ubuntu-14-04/ | 20:52 |
| ObrienDave | Killswitch, where did you find "convert -version"? | 20:52 |
| Killswitch | What confuses me though, is I'm trying to do this in a vagrant virtual machine, and couldn't get it working, co-worker did it on his machine which is the exact same as mine, (same vagrant files) and it worked for him, so we tried to do it on our staging server the exact way he did it, no go. | 20:52 |

| ObrienDave | Killswitch, where did you find the instructions for adding "convert -version"? | 20:54 |
| Killswitch | Same outcome | 20:54 |
| Killswitch | ObrienDave: it's a standard command for ImageMagick. | 20:54 |

| PermaNull | ^ ObrienDave, "convert" is an imagemagick binary and -version is well, self explanatory. | 20:55 |
| ObrienDave | ok fine | 20:55 |
| PermaNull | Killswitch, my recommendation see if you can get the arguments that were used to compile the version you have working 6.7.7 and compile the new version with same args. | 20:56 |
| Killswitch | PermaNull: that's what comes from apt-get in stock Ubuntu 14.04 | 20:57 |
| PermaNull | If that doesn't work submit a bug report on their forums. | 20:57 |
| Killswitch | PermaNull: how do I get those args? | 20:58 |
| PermaNull | Killswitch, not 100% sure it spits that out I was basing that on previous experience with other things. | 21:01 |
| PermaNull | Though this may be interesting to look at, https://gist.github.com/rodleviton/74e22e952bd6e7e5bee1 | 21:01 |

| PermaNull | http://douglascrp.blogspot.com/2014/06/how-to-install-imagemagick-from-sources.html | 21:01 |

| quants | well im newb any someone on hear said it sound like a grup problem? | 21:08 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, carefully? ;P | 21:08 |
| daftykins | quants: highly unlikely. | 21:08 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: ;) | 21:08 |
| PermaNull | daftykins, now that I got this iKVM thing to stop being a PoS. | 21:09 |
| quants | <daftykins> will im a a loss, i find it hrd to believe that a battery can suddenly go | 21:09 |
| daftykins | quants: explain the battery tale, if you will | 21:09 |
| daftykins | PermaNull: ok, keep the language even in acronym form family friendly please | 21:10 |
| ObrienDave | quants, dual boot setup? can you check it in windows? | 21:10 |
| PermaNull | daftykins, alright will do. | 21:10 |
| quants | <daftykins> i only run ubuntu on this laptop. | 21:10 |
| daftykins | PermaNull: what was it then? | 21:10 |
| PermaNull | Basically thing is scanning the disc now for 'defects'. | 21:10 |
| PermaNull | Oh I haven't discovered the actual issue yet. | 21:10 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 21:11 |
| gianni2468 | ciao | 21:11 |
| PermaNull | Just doing the integrity check, the reason I said that was it took me forever to even get it to boot the disc again. | 21:11 |

| PermaNull | daftykins, I guess it fails part way through. | 21:12 |
| daftykins | PermaNull: where is the ISO in relation to the host that's booting it? | 21:13 |

| rlinx | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8481685/plain/ | 21:13 |
| daftykins | quants: alright well try a live session of Ubuntu from flash drive, if the battery life is better, maybe it's your software, if not - it really is a dead battery. | 21:13 |
| PermaNull | I'm thinking about doing it from a share on the local network instead. | 21:13 |
| daftykins | PermaNull: *nod* makes sense to consider that a variable | 21:14 |
| daftykins | rlinx: sorry, your support query should be with them, not us | 21:15 |
| quants | <daftykins> can a battery just totally stop in an instant? even after working quite well? | 21:15 |
| daftykins | quants: so you got say an hours worth of life from it before, then suddenly 0? | 21:16 |

| tankerkiller125 | OK so I have a rather odd request I guess? I was installing Ubuntu to an external hardrive and all went well however I now HAVE to have that external harddrive plugged in otherwise my laptop won't boot and it'll just show grubs recorver mode. How can I fix this so that I don't need to have the external hardrive plugged in but If I want to boot to it I can? | 21:18 |
| quants | <daftykins> yes to your last question. take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2144463 | 21:18 |
| daftykins | tankerkiller125: remove it, boot install media, chroot your local install and run update-grub | 21:19 |
| daftykins | tankerkiller125: rely upon your laptop's BIOS/boot menu to select a different device at boot time instead of having GRUB handle it, that was the mistake | 21:19 |
| quants | <daftykins> just switching to my other laptop so may be gon for 30 seconds | 21:20 |
| tankerkiller125 | daftykins: Yes I'm aware of that but like I said I have to boot into the external drive the laptop has windows installed. and for some reason grub got installed in the laptops harddrive | 21:21 |
| daftykins | oh it's Windows. | 21:21 |
| tankerkiller125 | daftykins: Yeah sorry I should have clearified | 21:21 |

| daftykins | Quantumpants: until you do post 7 and try a live session i don't really see any good course of action, but GRUB is definitely unlikely | 21:30 |
| daftykins | rlinx: i told you already you should contact the person that made the module, it is not an ubuntu support issue | 21:30 |

| clepto | i had samba set up and running previously and my router died. so i replaced it and now my ubuntu machine is not showing up in network discovery. i can connect to it via SSH using the same ip address it had before internally as that didnt change but its not showing up in networked computers list from my windows boxes. anyone able to help me figure out this issue? | 22:56 |
| Davy_Crockett | Hello peeps Oi! | 22:57 |
| Loshki | clepto: is smbd running? Try sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart | 22:57 |
| clepto | loshki: service smbd status | 22:58 |
| clepto | smbd start/running, process 3529 | 22:58 |
| Loshki | clepto: restart it... | 22:58 |
| clepto | loshki: ive restarted it, reinstalled it, and reconfigured and restarted it about 5 times now. ive gone through 3 different howto guides and its still not working. my best guess is somehow network discovery got messed up on the ubuntu network config because of the new router/network | 22:59 |
| Loshki | clepto: I've always found smbd to be a bit unreliable. And at least once I recall having to download the latest source and compile/run it because the regular one was buggy. The only thing that changed was the router? | 23:01 |
| tripelb | I eant t erase my entire ubuntu partition and remove the grub so it just boots to win 8 again. How do I do this? Thanks. | 23:02 |
| tripelb | I want to erase " | 23:02 |
| clepto | loshki: yep, machine has the same internal ip address it had before. i replaced one DD-WRT router with another one. | 23:02 |
| clepto | loshki: whats interesting is i can see my other Ubuntu machine when i do smbtree but it isnt showing my windows boxes.... | 23:04 |
| Loshki | clepto: same router config? access lists preventing smb packets? Got a laptop handy? Use it to sniff the network & see... | 23:05 |
| clepto | loshki: i can access my samba shares between my two linux boxes just fine. the communicate with each other but not windows... its friggen odd | 23:06 |
| clepto | loshki: and my windows boxes see each other as well but dont see the linux boxes | 23:07 |
| emanuele | ciao | 23:07 |

| ahklerner | i am using pidgin on xubuntu, with ssl login. i have 4 or 5 rooms set to autoconnect. when i open pidgin it successfully connects, then opens some of the rooms and then disconnects 'server closed the connection'. if i do reconnect it works.......any ideas ? | 23:26 |
| Talidan | but it doesnt seem to bootinto ubuntu | 23:26 |
| ahklerner | works = doesnt disconnect me | 23:26 |

| ahklerner | so i came here | 23:30 |

| daftykins | ok, not our problem. | 23:30 |
| === bitretouch is now known as btcretouch | ||
| ahklerner | yeah i thought maybe someone had seen the issue before | 23:31 |
| Chanito | ahklerner, Maybe the ssl is set to disconnect after some idle time | 23:32 |
| daftykins | ahklerner: best thought, change client. | 23:33 |
| Chanito | ahklerner, nvm i was thinking of something else | 23:33 |
| ahklerner | i am just used to pidgin been using it for years | 23:34 |
| kenny__ | anyone know how to get a list of all keyboard input layouts available? Is there a file? | 23:41 |
| kenny__ | There is 'languagelist' but I think that is for 'locale' only. | 23:41 |
| === Ubuntu is now known as Guest99741 | ||
| rypervenche | kenny__: Well, there are the keymaps that are in /usr/share/keymaps, there are also IMEs out there that you can use to provide other languages' input. | 23:48 |
| rypervenche | kenny__: What language(s) are you looking for? | 23:48 |
