[00:00] <littlebrillo> Ben64: is there a #kubuntu+1?
[00:01] <bprompt> !kubuntu+1
[00:01] <Ben64> littlebrillo: i dont think so, but you can ask in #ubuntu+1 still
[00:03] <bprompt> acerspyro:    sure
[00:12] <acerspyro> bprompt: IT won't boot
[00:13] <acerspyro> dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb
[00:13] <mos_basik> I have recently gotten access to a private server running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.  For the next several months I will only have SSH access to it.  Is it feasible to update it to 14.xx using SSH, or to somehow perform a remote clean install?  Or would it be wiser to wait until I have physical access to do something like that?
[00:13] <netlar> I am on Ubuntu Unity.  When I change the file name the dash will still find the document under the original name. Do I need to reindex for the old name not to show up when I do a search under dash?
[00:14] <bprompt> acerspyro:      are you sure you didn't say     f=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb1   or sdb2  or some partition number at the end?
[00:14] <acerspyro> gparted says "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 4096 bytes."
[00:14] <acerspyro> dd if=/home/acerspyro/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb
[00:14] <acerspyro> Exact command
[00:16] <bprompt> acerspyro:     does the maching is set to boot from usb?
[00:16] <Bashing-om> acerspyro: " IT won't boot " : check UUIDs in /etc/fstab and in "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"  againist sudo blkid, sudo fdisk -lu .
[00:16] <bprompt> acerspyro:    in short.. it should
[00:16] <acerspyro> yes
[00:16] <acerspyro> bprompt: Forced it to boot from it, and it gives the classic "no bootable media" message.
[00:17] <acerspyro> Bashing-om: Get some context.
[00:18] <Bashing-om> acerspyro: You are dd'n the OS to USB correct, such that now the UUID's on the USB will not match to boot up, yes ?
[00:18] <acerspyro> Bashing-om: no
[00:19] <acerspyro> I am DDing the .iso for the installer to my flash drive
[00:19] <acerspyro> because DVD media fails for some reason.
[00:21] <daftykins> acerspyro: you're definitely dd'ing onto the root device /dev/sdx and not a partition, correct?
[00:21] <daftykins> ah yeah i see above
[00:21] <daftykins> acerspyro: you also want a "bs=4K" on the end of that
[00:22] <acerspyro> daftykins: Oh, will try
[00:22] <daftykins> acerspyro: you md5's the download so the ISO is good yes?
[00:23] <acerspyro> daftykins: Never lol why would a download go wrong?
[00:24] <acerspyro> Plus, I burnt it to a DVD which failed to complete the install for some reason.
[00:24] <acerspyro> half way thru
[00:24] <daftykins> acerspyro: it happens.
[00:24] <daftykins> !md5
[00:24] <acerspyro> Uhhhhhhhhh
[00:25] <acerspyro> Eh, uh. Where did it copy?
[00:25] <daftykins> ?
[00:25] <acerspyro> I did my DD... Without the thumb drive plugged in.
[00:25] <acerspyro> I'm a genius :D
[00:25] <daftykins> oh dear.
[00:25] <daftykins> pastebin "sudo fdisk -l"
[00:26] <acerspyro> -IF- my web browser complies
[00:26] <acerspyro> ah there we go
[00:26] <acerspyro> daftykins: http://pastie.org/9638740
[00:27] <acerspyro> Ok, let's try it again - with the drive plugged in :D
[00:28] <daftykins> acerspyro: can you do another of the same above command before trying the dd?
[00:29] <daftykins> also do the md5 before carrying on, no point letting this task get any more off track
[00:29] <acerspyro> It's like my system knows I'm switching from Arch to ubuntu and it's suddently being slow.
[00:30] <acerspyro> Creeps me out, it always does that.
[00:34] <sheap> I have an init script that provides a dialog menu before login, and when the machine starts up it shows for like a second, and then lightdm plows over it I guess and the login screen (with X) comes over it....is there a way to make lightdm wait until this script finishes?
[00:34] <acerspyro> daftykins: same hash
[00:34] <apb1963> How can I change file associations for the browser, so that I get a different browser to come up when I click on a downloaded file?  ubuntu 14.04
[00:35] <Tex_Nick> daftykins: a couple days ago I posted a question about a nautilus sftp share on my local LAN ... it worked good except nautilus search broke the sftp connection ... you recommended samba ... I've never really liked sambe ... but it solved the issue ... thanks for pushing me in that direction :)
[00:36] <daftykins> Tex_Nick: no problem! NFS was also my first idea
[00:36] <daftykins> Tex_Nick: glad it worked out ^_^
[00:36] <daftykins> acerspyro: do you have that new pastebin?
[00:37] <Tex_Nick> daftykins: Thanks again :)
[00:37] <acerspyro> daftykins: why?
[00:38] <acerspyro> http://pastie.org/9638753
[00:38] <daftykins> wow
[00:38] <daftykins> what on earth is going on there
[00:38] <acerspyro> no idea
[00:38] <acerspyro> lotsa loop devices
[00:39] <daftykins> indeed, no /dev/sdb in sight
[00:39] <acerspyro> gparted shows it as unallocated...???
[00:39] <daftykins> fresh boot with the drive removed, sudo fdisk -l before and after plugging in please
[00:39] <acerspyro> But mounting it creates a loop device.
[00:40] <daftykins> maybe this is something to do with that crazy arch you run
[00:40] <acerspyro> it does fuck up quite a lot.
[00:40] <acerspyro> Anyways, brb
[00:40] <daftykins> so gparted sees /dev/sdb as the whatever size flash drive? what happens if you create a 2GB FAT32 partition on it?
[00:41] <acerspyro> I have a 2 GB iPod Shuffle
[00:41] <acerspyro> let me reboot
[00:41] <ianorlin> !language |acersypro
[00:41] <Daghdha> Do i have to defrag my ubuntu disks? Or is it automagic?
[00:41] <daftykins> acerspyro: so this isn't even a flash drive? omg.
[00:41] <acerspyro> nope
[00:41] <daftykins> !defrag
[00:41] <daftykins> Daghdha: ^
[00:41] <acerspyro> I do not have flash drives.
[00:41] <daftykins> acerspyro: game over, can't be done
[00:42] <acerspyro> let me checksum my DVD
[00:42] <ianorlin> dding to an external hard drive would be a waste and that is probably your backup
[00:42] <Daghdha> ok, cool. all mine are using ext4
[00:43] <Daghdha> and tempfs but the major ones use ext4 so that good
[00:43] <Daghdha> btw
[00:43] <Daghdha> http://linkpot.net/behead/  <- 404
[00:43] <sss> Hiiii
[00:44] <Daghdha> daftykins, did you see?
[00:44] <daftykins> Daghdha: i don't recognise that URL and don't see any reason to click it
[00:44] <Daghdha>  The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.
[00:45] <Daghdha> You triggered it
[00:45] <acerspyro> ianorlin: Think I swear too much? Want to see what we talk about in #archlinux?
[00:46] <Daghdha> Well whoever learns/unlearns ubottu then. FYI: the link in !defrag gives 404
[00:46] <daftykins> Daghdha: oh right, nevermind then.
[00:47] <daftykins> Daghdha: if you fancy finding a replacement, it can be edited in
[00:50] <Daghdha> i think someone udnerstanding the subject matter better :)
[00:52] <Daghdha> e4defrag says me it is all fine :)
[00:55] <acerspyro> Yet, how would an install fail at 3/4th of the installation?
[00:55] <rbnswartz> I'm trying to build a custom ubuntu iso but when I try to install the latest version of the kernel via apt-get upgrade I get the following.http://paste.ubuntu.com/8536398/ Any ideas?
[00:56] <daftykins> acerspyro: what, from a DVD-R?
[00:56] <acerspyro> daftykins: es
[00:56] <acerspyro> yes
[00:56] <acerspyro> Isn't it supposed to get its packages online?
[00:56] <daftykins> acerspyro: funky laser, unstable PC, bad cables... don't know, plenty of variables
[00:56] <daftykins> not if you uncheck update during install
[00:56] <acerspyro> Uhhhhh system seems to be functionnal anyways.
[00:56] <daftykins> which i would recommend
[00:57] <daftykins> well i wouldn't just take your word for it, no offence
[00:58] <Daghdha> I had a bad ISO once.
[00:58] <Daghdha> Caused install to fail some random place
[01:02] <heliosfear> Is there any way to set up a dual boot without an usb or CD?
[01:02] <reisio> heliosfear: so many ways
[01:03] <cuddylier> How do I view the current user with the most open files?
[01:03] <reisio> cuddylier: mmmmm, could use lsof I guess
[01:03] <reisio> one way
[01:03] <reepeecheep> Hello, I have a problem when play a mkv video, is lag and pixel gray screen, Only with VLC, :( :( Any Idea'?? Pleasse
[01:03] <cuddylier> reisio: Do you know the parameters?
[01:04] <reisio> reepeecheep: what res?
[01:04] <cuddylier> I cannot find any on Google
[01:04] <heliosfear> reisio: do tell. I want to put use fedora along with ubuntu but do not have any usb or cds
[01:04] <reepeecheep> res?
[01:05] <reisio> heliosfear: what's installed right now?
[01:06] <reisio> reepeecheep: -olution
[01:07] <reepeecheep> 1080p
[01:07] <reepeecheep> reisio:
[01:08] <reisio> reepeecheep: how big is your screen? What graphics device do you have?
[01:08] <reepeecheep> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[01:09] <heliosfear> reisio: ubuntu 12.04 LTS I also have an iso for fedora (not completely sure its the right one)
[01:09] <reepeecheep> It's a laptop Lenove g460
[01:09] <reisio> heliosfear: you got a swap partition?
[01:09] <Ben64> reepeecheep: maybe just not use vlc?
[01:09] <heliosfear> reisio: yes
[01:09] <reisio> heliosfear: how big?
[01:10] <reepeecheep> Ben64: Yes Without VLC (Kaffeine, dragonplayer) its OK
[01:11] <heliosfear> 533 MB seems small
[01:11] <reepeecheep> But Need use VLC for Multilang Subtitles :(
[01:11] <reisio> heliosfear: that's pretty small :p
[01:11] <reisio> heliosfear: but you could put an install image on it
[01:11] <reisio> swap partitions are great expendable partition space
[01:12] <reisio> probably the best reason to use them over a swap file
[01:12] <reisio> even if it needn't be an issue often
[01:12] <heliosfear> reisio: yea its an old computer my neighbor gave me...
[01:13] <heliosfear> reisio: i'm just lost on how to set this thing up
[01:14] <reisio> mmhmmmm
[01:14] <reisio> you can always take the hard disk out and attach it to another computer, too
[01:14] <reisio> install an OS, then put it back
[01:14] <Ben64> reepeecheep: use mplayer/mplayer2
[01:14] <reepeecheep> In VLC Ctrl+M Show me the logs when gray screen is active
[01:14] <reepeecheep>   p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }  ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 300 ms)
[01:14] <Organicanarchy> hey if i installed ubuntu on an external would it mess up my ability to boot to windows without it plugged in?
[01:15] <reepeecheep> ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
[01:15] <reisio> vlc is so buggy
[01:15] <reisio> if you want a GUI, try gnome-mplayer
[01:15] <reepeecheep> for each time that occurs
[01:15] <reisio> or smplayer if you're on KDE
[01:15] <reepeecheep> yes i'm on KDE
[01:17] <heliosfear> reisio: the problem being i dont really know how or where to mount etc.
[01:17] <reepeecheep> really? :( I'ts a a shame, OK
[01:17] <Organicanarchy> will installing to an external USB drive mess up my bootloader and make my PC unable to boot without it?
[01:18] <reisio> heliosfear: hrmm?
[01:18] <acerspyro> Hm. system lagging hard.
[01:18] <reepeecheep> mmm How Can I add a sub with mplayer? (Is Launched for terminal True?)
[01:19] <reisio> reepeecheep: -sub path/to/file
[01:19] <daftykins> acerspyro: memtest o'clock
[01:19] <reisio> reepeecheep: or 'j' to toggle extant subs
[01:19] <Bashing-om> Organicanarchy: Nope, be carefull though that in the install process = "something else" that grub gets installed to the external device .
[01:19] <heliosfear> reisio: i downloaded an iso. thats as far as i got
[01:19] <acerspyro> lol
[01:19] <reepeecheep> Sorry again 4 my eng jijiji (I dont accustomed)
[01:19] <bubbasaures> Organicanarchy, Not if done correctly.
[01:20] <loa> Can somebody explain what is tear issue? everybody talks about it, but i never had it lol.
[01:20] <loa> i am happy or what?)
[01:20] <loa> lucky *
[01:20] <Organicanarchy> Bashing-om, bubbasaures : So if i install "Somethign else" as the option to the external, my windows partition should boot just fine if they external isnt plugged in? its not gonna mess up the bootloader?
[01:21] <reepeecheep> OK reisio and Ben64 Really TNKS
[01:21] <bubbasaures> Organicanarchy, What windows release/
[01:22] <reisio> loa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing
[01:22] <Organicanarchy> bubbasaures, its windows 8, but its not that crappy UEFI, its got a regular bios
[01:22] <Bashing-om> Organicanarchy: If the boot loader (grub) isinstalled properly to the external drive,; Windows boot code will not be touched, and with the external plugged in you have the option of which OS to boot.
[01:22] <loa> reisio, i think i know what it means, i am just curious why i have not got it?
[01:22] <loa> looks like everybody complain about it
[01:23] <Organicanarchy> Bashing-om, do i install grub to the external or to my windowd boot drive?
[01:23] <bubbasaures> Organicanarchy, Cool, just make sure that dropdown in the first gui of the something else option reads as the externals mbr.
[01:23] <Organicanarchy> so write the grub to the external's MBR, not the internals
[01:23] <Organicanarchy> ?
[01:24] <Bashing-om> Organicanarchy: You have said you do not want Windows' boot code disturbed, install grub to the external - assumming the external is where you install 'buntu.
[01:24] <bubbasaures> Organicanarchy, Yes, the grub loader in ubuntu will boot bith OS and the internal windows boot stays the same.
[01:25] <bubbasaures> both*
[01:25] <reisio> loa: I doubt most people who use that term actually know what they're talkinga bout
[01:25] <reisio> they just use that for lack of a better term
[01:25] <Organicanarchy> bubbasaures, Bashing-om: Thank you both very much!
[01:26] <loa> reisio, maybe i found some more examples in nvidia bugtrack...
[01:26] <Bashing-om> Organicanarchy: : ) good luck !

[01:31] <user123321> Greetings Ubuntians.
[01:32] <daftykins> user123321: hi, got a question?
[01:32] <user123321> daftykins, I'm afraid not :(
[01:33] <daftykins> ah, #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like to chat then
[01:34] <user123321> aha
[01:34] <heliosfear> apb1963: what browser?
[01:40] <timini> I have just installed bower using 'npm install -g bower' and there is a javascript file at /usr/local/bin/bower but when I run any bower command nothing is returned.
[01:41] <timini> Does anyone know how I can install it propoerly?
[01:42] <daftykins> what's npm?
[01:44] <trndr> daftykins: i'm guessing npm refers to Node(.js) packet manager.
[01:44] <grobe0ba> daftykins: node package manager, for node.js
[01:44] <daftykins> ok, never touched then.
[01:57] <apb1963> any browser.... however firefox seems to have the most promise.  Rumor has it that chrome no longer supports java
[01:58] <daftykins> likely correct, since they ditched the NPAPI
[02:13] <ceger> hey... whats best full disk encryption to use with a ubuntu desktop installation ?
[02:14] <aQueg> et
[02:17] <cai> hi
[02:17] <cai> i need help
[02:17] <kcmomo808> wats up
[02:18] <cai> i just got ubuntu and i made a few scripts to run my server
[02:18] <cai> well steam decided to delete my game files
[02:18] <cai> idk why
[02:18] <cai> is it a linux problem
[02:19] <kcmomo808> honestly doubtful
[02:19] <cai> HDD problem? or App?
[02:19] <cai> I personally love it and i dont wanna give it up
[02:20] <kcmomo808> you shouldnt have to
[02:20] <kcmomo808> umm it could be few things
[02:20] <cai> ok .. such as?
[02:20] <kcmomo808> sorry gimme sec im at work
[02:20] <cai> oh no your fine
[02:20] <cai> i dont mean to be rude
[02:21] <daftykins> data doesn't just disappear
[02:21] <trndr> steam on linux can be a bit iffy, but the game files should be steam cloud synced in most cases
[02:21] <cai> i know i rebooted and all my game files deleted
[02:21] <cai> and it is
[02:21] <daftykins> are you talking about game saves or game cache?
[02:21] <acovrig> external partition that didn’t mount?
[02:21] <cai> but the files for the games cache are gone
[02:22] <SchrodingersScat> !bitrot | daftykins
[02:22] <daftykins> SchrodingersScat: no thanks
[02:22] <daftykins> cai: so opening Steam it just starts to redownload?
[02:22] <cai> yes
[02:22] <cai> @daftkins
[02:23] <daftykins> cai: what's your disk setup? single disk?
[02:23] <cai> i only have 1 hardrive and a back up harddrive thats 25 gb
[02:24] <daftykins> cai: ok and what do you see in steam's cache folder?
[02:24] <cai> which sub folder
[02:25] <daftykins> i have no idea.
[02:25] <cai> oh o.o
[02:26] <kcmomo808> thank you guys
[02:26] <daftykins> cai: shouldn't be hard to find out
[02:27] <cai> im looking cant ind it
[02:27] <cai> i only have appcache
[02:29] <cai> i .. just dont want my files disappearing again v.v
[02:30] <cai> i love Ubuntu that i have to do everything my self.. and everything to it ..but i dont wish to get on and my files gone...
[02:31] <daftykins> cai: this is a clean install of 14.04? did you use ext4 on the disk?
[02:31] <cai> i burned it to a usb from the website
[02:31] <daftykins> copied, burning is optical media only
[02:32] <trndr> cai are sure the files got deleted and it wasn't steam changing the library folder?
[02:32] <daftykins> cai: open a terminal, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[02:32] <cai> i used a usb burner .. technically all it did was got the files from the iso i know
[02:32] <cai> ok
[02:32] <daftykins> trndr: good call
[02:33] <cai> ill do a search
[02:33] <trndr> cai steam changed from using ~/.local/steam to ~/.local/Steam for me once, it was strange and rather iritating, but fixable
[02:34] <cai> i only have /home/cai/.steam
[02:35] <cai> there is a steam local
[02:35] <cai> but it has no game files
[02:35] <trndr> sorry ~/.local/share/Steam
[02:36] <cai> yeah
[02:36] <cai> its there
[02:36] <cai> but no game files
[02:36] <daftykins> still awaiting commands
[02:36] <cai> paste bin didnt work
[02:37] <cai> cai@Cais-laptop:~$ sudo parted -l | pastebini
[02:37] <cai> No command 'pastebini' found, did you mean:
[02:37] <cai>  Command 'pastebinit' from package 'pastebinit' (main)
[02:37] <cai> pastebini: command not found
[02:37] <cai> cai@Cais-laptop:~$ ^C

[02:37] <unopaste> cai you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[02:40] <cai> hello //
[02:40] <trndr> cai is .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/ empty also check if .local/share/steam exists
[02:41] <daftykins> cai: you typo'd, "pastebinit"
[02:41] <acovrig> I have this issue (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/195735), I am trying to push audio over HDMI through DisplayPort on a dell laptop
[02:43] <cai> i did both empty
[02:44] <cai> http://pastebin.com/sg6mKHZY
[02:45] <daftykins> cai: no, you keep on typo'ing it
[02:46] <trndr> cai you missed a t in pastebinit
[02:46] <daftykins> it's even telling you that you probably meant 'pastebinit'
[02:47] <cai> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8536788/
[02:47] <cai> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8536795/
[02:48] <cai> sorry im tired
[02:48] <cai> long day at school
[02:48] <acovrig> I’ve seen audio over HDMI on my desktop (ATI 6970), but it doesn’t show up in this system; I’ve tried almost all the nvidia drivers and still nothing
[02:49] <anyMoreHC> acovrig:.....
[02:50] <acovrig> anyMoreHC: yea, I didn’t think I would have issues with audio, and really don’t feel like running a separate line for audio...
[02:51] <daftykins> ok looks like a LVM setup, i have zero experience with that
[02:52] <daftykins> however line 71 on the SMART output is a very large number, that does not look good
[02:52] <cai> well i guess ill go thanks for the help
[02:52] <acovrig> daftykins: it also looks like a dm RAID…
[02:52] <daftykins> RAID with one disk? nice idea
[02:52] <daftykins> :P
[02:53] <acovrig> daftykins: I see “dm”, isn’t that a dmraid? so could it be showing the raided partition instead of the individual disks?
[02:53] <cai> do i need to redo my partians
[02:55] <acovrig> cai: probably not, could it have ‘moved’ your steam library?
[02:56] <daftykins> acovrig: i really don't think they're related
[02:56] <cai> i apparently have two and neither have my games
[02:59] <cai> sigh
[03:01] <daftykins> cai: two disks? where do you get that idea from?
[03:02] <cai> daftykins: what do u mean
[03:02] <trndr> cai try "find ~ -name SteamApps"
[03:03] <daftykins> cai: nevermind.
[03:03] <cai> trndr: in terminal
[03:03] <cai> ?
[03:03] <trndr> cai yes
[03:05] <trndr> cai it might take a while, but if steam is in your home directory it should find it
[03:05] <cai> trndr:got it
[03:05] <trndr> is it the empty one?
[03:05] <cai> yea
[03:06] <trndr> let it keep going it might find an other
[03:06] <cai> it finished instantly
[03:07] <cai> only goes to one
[03:07] <trndr> just to check, since files dissapering is rather unusual, you haven't changed user when making your scripts have you?
[03:07] <cai> nope
[03:10] <cai> all on one
[03:10] <cai> besides my steam cmd
[03:10] <mezel> hello all
[03:10] <cai> hi
[03:10] <mezel> wonderin if I could get some help
[03:10] <cai> everyone is :P what you need
[03:10] <mezel> I had ubuntu running fine with triple boot of 2 windows OS's
[03:11] <cai> 05 XD
[03:11] <mezel> then I tried to do an update and it hung on the grub instal
[03:11] <mezel> l
[03:11] <cai> u want 8.1 code?
[03:11] <cai> or 7
[03:11] <mezel> I force quit it, and then rebooted, hoping that my original grub stuff was ok.
[03:11] <cai> cause thats old
[03:11] <mezel> it pooched the whole thing and beeped at me every few seconds
[03:12] <mezel> Now I have a grub menu working sorta, but am stuck in command line
[03:12] <mezel> and can't get /dev/sda to work
[03:12] <mezel> it also can't find /cow
[03:13] <cai> trndr any other ideas
[03:13] <mezel> I had a custom boot so I could hide windows from windows
[03:14] <cai> that sound problematic
[03:14] <cai> sounds
[03:14] <trndr> cai: sorry, not at the moment
[03:14] <mezel> but all I really need to fix that is to be able to get the main grub working so I can fix the other stuff
[03:14] <circ-user-dh30s> 中文
[03:14] <mezel> i would just have to cat the rest on the end
[03:14] <cai> ill start a new file to start and delte the rest
[03:15] <mezel> so if I can get some help with getting my OS to just boot it would be a good start
[03:15] <mezel> grub-mkconfig fails
[03:15] <mezel> mainly because grub-probe can't find '/cow
[03:16] <mezel> tried boot-repair and that just gave me a command line grub
[03:19] <cai> my steam just now deleted everything again
[03:19] <mezel> oops
[03:19] <mezel> lol
[03:20] <mezel> still trying to figure  out xchat-gnome
[03:23] <Bashing-om> mezel: Show the channel how and what you are booting, from the liveDVD -> sudo parted -l | pastebinit <- . will see what we can do.
[03:23] <mezel> ok, hold on will have to get xchat on there first
[03:25] <cai> anyone know any reason why my steam files were deleted
[03:28] <ubuntu_mezel> ok here

[03:36] <ubuntu_mezel> ok

[04:10] <mezel> yes

[04:11] <mezel> gotta reboot first

[04:13] <Bashing-om> mezel: Before running the dpkg command .. ya might want to copy grub's files back off, to aid in rebuilding your edits at a later time .
[04:14] <mezel> I already have that done.. in a .old
[04:15] <mezel> was done when it was set up so I could just cat them back in when it does an update to grub..

[04:27] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Goodmorning everyone, Ryan here from South Africa.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.  I am having an issue with mounting and copying to a USB HDD.  I have tried formatting it as NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 (from a Windows 7 machine).  Ubuntu disk manager detects it as /dev/sdb.  When I try format it just continues forever attempting to format but it does nothing.  I have checked the integrity of the drive on a Windows 7 laptop that I have
[04:27] <Ubuntu_User_SA> and there is definitely not hardware problem.  Is there anyone who could guide me to resolving this?  Thank you so much
[04:27] <bynarie> chaotix, i would, in my opinion, think you should have atleast 4gb of RAM
[04:27] <chaotix> bynarie, is there a distro in which 1gb of ram will cut it?  she is only using it for google chrome(gmail, youtube, various web sites), and to play sudoku, mahjongg, and solitaire, mostly  :) and lubuntu has cut it in the past
[04:27] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: look'n .
[04:27] <bynarie> chaotix, maybe puppy linux on a flash drive
[04:28] <bynarie> damn small linux
[04:28] <crystalmatrix> hi guys please helpme with my sound card, i  need some five
[04:28] <crystalmatrix> please :)
[04:29] <bynarie> chaotix, check out http://crunchbang.org/
[04:29] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: if you set it up from Windows, why are you then trying to format it in Ubuntu?
[04:30] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I just tried to format it in Windows to see if there was anything wrong with the hardware, just as a double check
[04:30] <Ubuntu_User_SA> The same issue happens with USB pen drives
[04:30] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: so what happens with mounting?
[04:30] <crystalmatrix> hey chicos tengo un problema con mi tarjeta de sonido, maudio firewire 410, existe  alguna forma de instalar drivers de windows o macosx y funcione  en ubuntu studio 14.04
[04:30] <cfhowlett> !es | crystalmatrix,
[04:30] <daftykins> !es
[04:31] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I was wondering if there were any logs I could query.  The ubuntu disk manager is attempting to mount but it doesn't
[04:31] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Are there logs I could query?
[04:31] <crystalmatrix> ok guys i have some problems with my soundcard maudio firewire410 with freebob andalsa
[04:32] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: The only file in there non standard is ' 40_custome ', if you do not have a backup of the original file, here is my default file -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8537095/ <- .
[04:32] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I kicked off a format on the USB HDD last night and left it when I went to sleep.  It still had not formatted it and created the new partition by the morning
[04:33] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: have you tried a manual mount via command line?
[04:33] <cfhowlett> crystalmatrix, ask (in English :) ) in #ubuntustudio or, even better perhaps, #opensourcemusicians
[04:33] <mezel> Bashing-om, I have a copy of the custom but how do I get it so it just does the OS stuff?
[04:33] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: what kind of computer is this?
[04:34] <crystalmatrix> amd fx 8350
[04:34] <Ubuntu_User_SA> It is an x86 builtup desktop
[04:34] <mezel> will the dpkg command do it?
[04:34] <Ubuntu_User_SA> 16 GB RAM, Intel core i3
[04:34] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I seem to have managed to mount the drive now.  But there are issues copying any large file to it
[04:35] <Bashing-om> mezel: Just copy the original back in place, and try the install command from the CHroot once more, see if now it files.
[04:35] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: can you open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" ?
[04:35] <mezel> how do I do that?
[04:36] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Daftykins - what does that do?
[04:36] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I mean is pastebinit an alternative to Nautilus?
[04:36] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: installs a program which uploads command results to a pastebin site
[04:37] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Ah I see
[04:37] <Ubuntu_User_SA> I will do so
[04:37] <whoever_> mezel: what are you tring to do
[04:37] <Bashing-om> mezel: As I can not know where or what location the original 40_custom file is, I can not advise on that .
[04:38] <mezel> grub.d isn't it?
[04:38] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Thank you for your help daftykins.  I am busy installing that software now
[04:38] <whoever_> Bashing-om: so mezel never made a .back
[04:39] <ubuntu_mezel> no, there is a custom_40.old
[04:39] <Bashing-om> mezel: That is the target ,, IF you do not have that original file, back up the present 40_custom file and copy mine into it .
[04:39] <whoever_> mezel: so what is the issue
[04:39] <whoever_> mezel: or uninstall , perge , and reinstall to get the original
[04:40] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: Yeah but .old is not default either .." -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   214 Oct 23  2013 40_custom " file sixe is fifferent .

[04:44] <unimos> ylmf os:: how to download
[04:44] <Ubuntu_User_SA> could you send me the command?
[04:45] <Bashing-om> whoever_: We may do a purge on grub yet ,, TBD .

[04:45] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Sorry 8(  Don't know all the syntax out of my head yet

[04:45] <whoever_> ubuntu_mezel: ah thx, that does make a bit of a problem
[04:45] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: 41_custome is the correct size, so should be at default.

[04:48] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: There is no need for me to look at the files, the size and the parser say they are not default, Let's just make 40_custom back default and run the install once more.
[04:48] <ubuntu_mezel> ok, how do I do that?

[04:57] <boggle> ubuntu_mezel: nevermind, turns out my user agent switcher had crashed
[04:57] <boggle> ubuntu_mezel: thanks anyway
[04:57] <Bashing-om> ping -c3 google,com **
[04:57] <ubuntu_mezel> np boggle
[04:58] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: I am some kind of tired, -> ping -c3 google.com < - !
[04:58] <ubuntu_mezel> yep
[04:58] <ubuntu_mezel> got it
[04:58] <Ubuntu_User_SA> daftykins: I ran the command http://paste.ubuntu.com/8537180/
[04:59] <ubuntu_mezel> its connected
[05:00] <daftykins> Ubuntu_User_SA: ok nothing at fault with the disk, maybe USB is funky on that system
[05:00] <Ubuntu_User_SA> daftykins: Thank you.
[05:01] <jrgill> I'm running the latest live CD in memory and seems all SysRq events besides sync are disabled.  Any way I can recover or at least write out my unsaved data?
[05:01] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Its so nice being able to contact experts like this on IRC 8)
[05:01] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Thanks everyone for being so helpful
[05:02] <Floss> we aim to please
[05:02] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Are you guys sofware developers for a living?
[05:04] <ubuntu_mezel> ok, have chroot
[05:04] <cfhowlett> Ubuntu_User_SA, most of us are users like you.
[05:05] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: 3 tandsmitted and 3 packets received ? then -> apt-get remove --purge grub grub-pc grub-common , mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup , mkdir /boot/grub , apt-get install grub-pc grub-common , grub-install --recheck /dev/sda , update-grub . Ignore the warnings and go on. when done reboot into the install. In the install run once more update grub, just as cheap insurance.
[05:05] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Thanks daftykins.  Cheers cfhowlett.  I will come back later when I try doing some large copies to that USB HDD.  I will try reproduce a situation where the copy dialogue sticks and then maybe I can query logs?
[05:06] <Ubuntu_User_SA> Bye and thanks again
[05:06] <mezel> ok
[05:06] <mezel> so I do those each separate right?
[05:08] <PCworker> hello everybody, Ubuntu 14.04 on a small hard drive. Is there a program or app I can use to clone the small onto a much larger drive??
[05:08] <ubuntu_mezel> or do I just do in string?
[05:08] <cfhowlett> PCworker, clonezilla
[05:09] <Floss> thats not an app
[05:09] <PCworker> can I get that with software center or do I need to download it through terminal?
[05:10] <cfhowlett> PCworker, either method workds
[05:10] <cfhowlett> *works*
[05:10] <ubuntu_mezel> just wanna make sure I get this right
[05:10] <PCworker> ok, thanks
[05:10] <cfhowlett> !info clonezilla > PCworker
[05:12] <Bashing-om> mezel: Yeah ,, in that chroot routine from the liveDVD . will have to step to/through the reconfigure-er .
[05:15] <ubuntu_mezel> Bashing-om, where am I sending the grub to? /dev/sda? or /dev/sda1, or /dev/sda5
[05:15] <ubuntu_mezel> I would assume sda
[05:15] <Bashing-om> ubuntu_mezel: Install to 'sda' .
[05:15] <ubuntu_mezel> ok thanks
[05:17] <ubuntu_mezel> ok, here goes nothing...
[05:18] <mezel> no dice
[05:18] <Bashing-om> mezel: HUH ?? what failed where ?
[05:19] <mezel> says I can boot to system setup and then  give error: can't find command 'fwsetup'.  Press any key to continue
[05:20] <Bashing-om> mezel: from bios you are getting this ?
[05:20] <mezel> no, from grub
[05:20] <mezel> rebooted.
[05:21] <hunterx> Hi
[05:21] <hunterx> just wanna know "kworker" process! I see the number of kworker processes over 400 processes on linux kernel3
[05:21] <Bashing-om> mezel: I have no clue where that is comming from .. lemme think on it a bit.
[05:22] <mezel> in the meantime I will re-boot into live
[05:23] <ceger> hey... whats best full disk encryption to use with a ubuntu desktop installation ?
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> !encrypt | ceger
[05:24] <mezel> sorry about that
[05:24] <ceger> hmm is there anything like truecrypt at the boot level for full disk?
[05:24] <mezel> ok
[05:25] <mezel> am logged back into livedvd
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> ceger: check software centre for endrypt packages
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> ceger: or apt-cache search encrypt
[05:25] <ceger> thx
[05:26] <Bashing-om> mezel: Change root and -> ls -al /etc/grub.d <- is there 13 files there incisive of '. and  .. ' ??
[05:26] <Bashing-om> inclusive*
[05:26] <mezel> not sure hold on.. will check
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> ceger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> ceger: for realy paranoid use, i would go external hd encrypt only and hide the device behind a wall
[05:28] <ceger> hehe
[05:29] <ceger> halfway there it is external hdd
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> ceger: connected to internet a machine can never be 100% safe right
[05:29] <mezel> ok one sec
[05:29] <ceger> its not :)
[05:30] <ceger> but its connected to the electrical outlet :/
[05:30] <mezel> Bashing-om, 10 files
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> ceger: it all depends what your end goal is..why you need encrypting ubuntu
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> ceger: you can tighten up security for sure
[05:31] <ceger> well, i encrypt all my PCs  first time running full install ubuntu
[05:32] <Bashing-om> mezel: Best pastbin, -> ls -al /etc/grub.d | pastebinit <- lemme see what is missing .
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> ceger: for real sensitive data i would tar/rar password them with long compilcated pass on encrypted external hd
[05:35] <mezel> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8537298
[05:36] <Bashing-om> mezel: Look'n .
[05:41] <Bashing-om> mezel: All there ! (12) I miss counted ! ... so far so good .. ok -> ls -al /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- does it exist ?
[05:41] <bubbasaures> brig
[05:41] <bubbasaures> doh sorry
[05:41] <mezel> nope
[05:42] <mezel> sorry yes
[05:42] <mezel> typed in the wrong command
[05:42] <Bashing-om> mezel: Hummm .. does not make much sense. what results -> grub-mkconfig < - ??
[05:43] <Bashing-om> mezel: Never mind my last ..
[05:43] <mezel> just did a config,
[05:43] <mezel> no issues
[05:44] <mezel> should I try reboot seeing as it made menu entries?
[05:45] <Bashing-om> mezel: OK, will do no jarm, might even do some good. with all the files in place, it should boot ! .. when you rebooted last into the install are you sure you did not have a dvd inserted OR had reset bios to boot from hard drive ?
[05:45] <mezel> nope
[05:45] <mezel> ran it form Hard drive
[05:46] <Bashing-om> mezel: Yeah, let's see what happens when you attempt to boot into the install now .
[05:47] <mezel> no dice, same issue
[05:48] <Hockenheim> А тут русские есть?
[05:48] <mezel> I am gonna have to fight with this later, I need to do some stuff and go to bed..
[05:48] <mezel> this is annoying..
[05:49] <mezel> may have to just re-install linux
[05:49] <mezel> can't do it right now tho..
[05:49] <OERIAS-1> ?join #debian
[05:50] <mezel> OeRIAS you missed the /
[05:50] <mezel> OERIAS-1 you missed the / I meant
[05:50] <OERIAS-1> Yeah the silly keyboard is not registering the slash key
[05:50] <mezel> it is, just not the way you need it to
[05:51] <mezel> Bashing-om, thanks for your help... Will be back tomorrow and we can try again..
[05:51] <mezel> Will be in the evening but hopefully earlier
[05:52] <tracyone> hi all,how to add screen resolution use xrandr :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2247869

[05:54] <Dr_Phil> hello anyone here
[05:55] <Dr_Phil> i have something that maybe you could help me get to work, i got it to work fine on windows but i cant get it to work on ubuntu (i'm a linux noob)
[06:03] <daftykins> Dr_Phil: just ask the channel, someone will reply if they know
[06:04] <Dr_Phil> basically trying to get a git bash script to run and am having trouble

[06:17] <chaotix> hey hey
[06:22] <chaotix> anyone familliar with memtest86+?  i ran it, and its been going for 19 minutes now...  at the bottem, it says "Pass Complete, No Errors, Press ESC to Reboot", however, at the top it seems to contradict by saying: "Pass 83%", "Test 71%", "Test #7 [Random Number Sequence]", and some other stuff, and it is still going, leading me to believe that there is more testing to be done...  so why on earth does it say on the bottom "Pass Complete, No Errors, Press ESC
[06:22] <chaotix>  to Reboot"?
[06:24] <TTN> yea so its done, and it just starts the test again
[06:25] <Ben64> chaotix: it keeps going forever. 19 minutes isn't really long enough to determine if there is an error though
[06:25] <TTN> how long would you run it?
[06:26] <Ben64> overnight
[06:26] <chaotix> thanks Ben64
[06:27] <chaotix> i only have 1gb ram, though
[06:27] <chaotix> will that matter?
[06:31] <TTN> chaotix, I don't think it would.

[06:56] <daftykins> !alis | kanhiay

[07:03] <kanhiay> hi all, i downloaded number text extension but it has done half of my work, for example: it is converting 500 to  five hundred , but result i expected it to convert 500 to "five hundred rupees only."Is there any way to combine custom text with formula?
[07:03] <kanhiay> i am using libre office 4.2.6.3
[07:04] <TTN> lumia900, I know somethings about external drives recovery etc, but nothing helpful for you sorry.
[07:14] <zerous> I am actually having two network connections. i have connected my laptop to a wifi hotspot for internet and attached a lan cable to access the local network (which isn't connected to the internet). But i am not able to access internet when i am connected to these two networks
[07:15] <zerous> I guess that's because the laptop seems to be trying to access internet through the wired connection. Is there a way to configure the laptop to connect to internet through the wireless adapter. ?
[07:15] <b0x> ethernet takes priority?
[07:16] <zerous> b0x: yes. is there a way i can solve this ?
[07:17] <daftykins> put a static IP on the wired interface
[07:17] <daftykins> state only the IP and netmask.
[07:19] <zerous> daftykins: yes the wired interface has a static ip and i have only configured the ip and netmask.
[07:19] <zerous> but still it doesn't work.
[07:19] <daftykins> your default gateway must be changing
[07:20] <zerous> daftykins: but i have not configured any gateways yet for the wired interface.
[07:22] <daftykins> zerous: so? ok, debug this situation. show routing table info when just the hotspot is on, then show it after connecting wired
[07:22] <daftykins> give us something to work with
[07:22] <daftykins> some data
[07:22] <zerous> ok.
[07:23] <daftykins> some test pings and DNS resolution couldn't hurt either
[07:26] <zerous> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/H5zASCvm
[07:26] <zerous> that is the routing table info.
[07:27] <daftykins> zerous: it would be so much easier if they were different subnets
[07:28] <bpbutti> quit
[07:28] <daftykins> zerous: what you need to do is have it put a larger weight on eth0
[07:28] <daftykins> (if you refuse to change addressing)
[07:30] <helmut_> hi
[07:31] <zerous> daftykins: could you explain it to me ?
[07:31] <daftykins> zerous: the re-addressing?
[07:31] <zerous> daftykins: yes.
[07:32] <daftykins> change your LAN to use something other than 192.168.1.x
[07:36] <xatr0z> http://nos.nl/artikel/708634-leden-no-surrender-vechten-in-irak.html

[07:42] <r0f0> anyone faced issues with ubuntu 12 and virtual box ?
[07:42] <cfhowlett> !details | r0f0,
[07:43] <r0f0> I have ubuntu 12, 64 bit iso.I am running latest version of virtual box on osx 10.7. When I run live CD it gets stuck at screen resolution.Screen does not resize and ubuntu does not start
[07:44] <daftykins> did you enable 3D support on the VM before booting?
[07:44] <r0f0> I did
[07:44] <cfhowlett> r0f0, running vbox with a 64 bit .iso requires a kernel flag to be set, IIRC.  I don't know anymore.  ask #vbox
[07:45] <Anuska> I add this in my .bashrc : export PS1="\[\e[31m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]\h\[\e[m\]\[\e[34m\][\[\e[m\]\[\e[34m\]\w\[\e[m\]\[\e[34m\]]\[\e[m\] # "
[07:45] <Anuska> and the yellow [ host ] ... not show as yellow ... show as orange..
[07:46] <r0f0> what HVs do you guys generally use ?
[07:47] <daftykins> HV?
[07:48] <r0f0> hypervisors
[07:48] <daftykins> vmware and vbox
[07:49] <r0f0> which vmware ?

[07:51] <Churuya-san> I am on Xubuntu 14.04. After updating to kernel 3.13.0-37, my Apple bluetooth keyboard stopped working. It can connect and pair with the computer, but doesn't work. There used to be an option in blueman to "Connect to input services" which no longer appears. This was how I was making the keyboard work before. Reinstalling the kernel and bluez and blueman do not help.
[07:52] <daftykins> Churuya-san: what happens when you boot -36 again?
[07:52] <Churuya-san> Any insight on this? Looking through Google, people seem to be blaming either bluez or GRUB2. Oddly enough, GRUB2 didn't recognize my Windows partition until after the update... precisely when the keyboard stopped working. I don't know how that could be possible.
[07:53] <Churuya-san> daftykins: How would I go about doing that?
[07:53] <daftykins> hold left shift on boot, spy the GRUB menu... select 'advanced options' then pick the -36
[07:53] <daftykins> (one without 'recovery' beside it)
[07:54] <Churuya-san> I think I might've removed the old version of the kernel. Is it possible to reinstall it without causing problems?
[07:55] <daftykins> should be able to find the package for -36 and add it manually
[07:55] <daftykins> i don't *think* it'll cause any drama
[07:55] <daftykins> but i promise nothing (:
[07:55] <seth> hello
[07:55] <daftykins> hi
[07:55] <seth> i just got my dell xps13 developer edition
[07:56] <daftykins> ok
[07:56] <Churuya-san> I'm gonna try that out, daftykins. I will report back!
[07:56] <daftykins> tuxspeed, Churuya-san
[07:56] <Balduin1> how can I set the zfs_arc_max in ubuntu?
[07:56] <seth> ubuntu 12.04 lts preloaded and i want to know, should i do release up to 14 or should i install 14, all over
[07:56] <seth> which way is better
[07:57] <Balduin1> seth for ubuntu reinstall it!
[07:57] <daftykins> seth: better yet - download 14.04.1 and make up a USB flash drive with it, then test it all works
[07:57] <cfhowlett> seth, depends your your needs
[07:58] <seth> so if test are ok, i should reinstall it, not upgrading right?
[07:58] <daftykins> seth: i would make a backup and clean install, personally
[07:59] <seth> okay, thanks daftykins
[07:59] <seth> this ultrabook rocks all .)
[07:59] <cfhowlett> seth, reinstalling will not grab all of the developer packages which are included on the DELL ubuntu iso.
[07:59] <seth> or maybe i should buy
[07:59] <cfhowlett> seth, eh?  buy what?
[08:00] <seth> or ask for those packages to dell support
[08:01] <cfhowlett> seth, no need.  they are listed. install them after you get main ubuntu going.
[08:01] <seth> all right
[08:01] <cfhowlett> seth, http://odm.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/
[08:01] <seth> thanks!
[08:01] <cfhowlett> seth, happy2help
[08:02]  * cfhowlett is waiting for the 512 gb xps 13 *or* the m3800 from dell with ubuntu.
[08:02] <Churuya-san> I'm in 36 now, and it still doesn't work.
[08:03] <Phoenix_Dragon> hi
[08:04] <icloud> my VLC has no seekbar and no control, can someone help me?
[08:04] <daftykins> Churuya-san: oh well, it was an idea
[08:04] <daftykins> icloud: maybe they're turned off?
[08:05] <icloud> daftykins, sorry how do i turn it on?
[08:05] <daftykins> i don't know. i've never used VLC, but i am used to players that have configurable options
[08:06] <daftykins> last night i accidentally typed a message to IRC in my video player, suddenly it looked very very different
[08:06] <daftykins> all the letters were shortcuts to disable things
[08:06] <Churuya-san> icloud: You could try purging VLC and reinstalling.
[08:06] <Churuya-san> This *should* remove any config files which keep the changes to the UI saved
[08:07] <daftykins> good idea
[08:07] <Svetlana> daftykins: sounds like a nasty video player i think (how did it start listening without a proper modifier key!?) :)
[08:08] <Svetlana> (i can understand ctrl+t disabling something funny, but just 't'...)
[08:08] <daftykins> i disagree
[08:08] <Svetlana> also, i think vlc has a 'reset all the things' button which is helpful when insane people get to it :)
[08:08] <daftykins> my fault for thinking it wasn't the active window
[08:08] <Svetlana> hehe
[08:08] <icloud> Svetlana, ok i just did purge and reinstall
[08:09] <Churuya-san> Did it work? o:
[08:09] <icloud> I don't see any option at all
[08:09] <Churuya-san> Shoot. Hmmmm.
[08:09] <Svetlana> do you see a menu bar?
[08:09] <Svetlana> click things around until you see a menu bar ( ctrl + p also invokes the preferences window )
[08:11] <icloud> nope, still the same
[08:11] <lakitu> is linux mint a flavor of ubuntu?
[08:11] <pi__user2> icloud: u may want to delete .config/vlc and restart the program
[08:11] <daftykins> ubuntu is Mint's upstream
[08:11] <lakitu> ok
[08:11] <daftykins> which means they take ubuntu as their source, and change it
[08:11] <lakitu> right
[08:11] <lakitu> ok
[08:11] <eeee> lakitu: it's based on ubuntu.
[08:11] <lakitu> thanks
[08:14] <icloud> pi__user2,  ok its back i used dpkg-reconfigure
[08:14] <icloud> i deleted the .config/vlc folder too
[08:14] <Svetlana> good, i think deleting that folder helped -- unlikely to have been a broken install
[08:15] <Churuya-san> apt purge *should* have gotten rid of that folder... I think. Oh well
[08:15] <Svetlana> (i have kids here watching cartoons in vlc and they break it (and the rest of computer) so much, but not to that point yet)
[08:15] <Churuya-san> At least it works now, eh?
[08:15] <Svetlana> yes
[08:15] <Churuya-san> Svetlana: You ought to try mpv
[08:15] <Svetlana> could you file a bug report about broken purge? i thought that purge only touches /etc, though, not ~
[08:16] <Churuya-san> Does it only touch /etc? That would make sense.
[08:17] <icloud> thanks for the help
[08:18] <daftykins> some days we have users complaining a purge does clean out their configs, other days users complain a purge *didn't* clean out their configs

[08:36] <katja> silverlight
[08:36] <Guest39892> kann silverlight nicht installieren
[08:37] <Guest39892> kann mir jemand helfen
[08:38] <daftykins> silverlight isn't available for Linux
[08:38] <daftykins> also this is an English only channel
[08:38] <ddo> .htaccess ?
[08:38] <ddo> i didn't change that
[08:38] <eeee> ddo: check /etc/php.ini
[08:38] <Guest39892> Sorry my english is not so god
[08:39] <ddo> @eeee what should i check in /etc/php.ini
[08:39] <eeee> nevermind
[08:39] <ddo> i think when i upgrade it. it mess with my configuration
[08:39] <daftykins> Guest39892: Da ist #ubuntu-de
[08:39] <ddo> i'm using fpm
[08:40] <eeee> ddo: how did you used to manage the permissions?
[08:40] <daftykins> i always build up a new distro version beside web servers, then mimic the configuration by hand. can't trust upgrades
[08:43] <ddo> @eeee i create a sock file
[08:43] <ddo> with the same owner as the site
[08:44] <ddo> but still i can only access the website
[08:44] <ddo> let say that the website it self contain admin directory
[08:44] <eeee> ddo: check /etc/apache2/apache2.conf , did you used to have AllowOverride all , instead of "none" ?
[08:44] <ddo> this one is the one that i can't access.
[08:44] <ddo> the funny thing is. when i try to access other file which is not .php i can..
[08:45] <ddo> so only .php in the root domain. directory after the root domain for .php file is inaccessible
[08:45] <ddo> yes.. i allow override all
[08:45] <ddo> both nginx and apache have the same issue
[08:47] <ddo> in apache it will show 403 error
[08:47] <luc4> Hello! Anyone with experience installing ubuntu on a macbook?
[08:47] <ddo> which is forbidden
[08:47] <ddo> @luc4 i don't have macbook. i can't help
[08:48] <luc4> I tried to dd the startup usb disk into the partition, and Ubuntu starts correctly. The problem is that it cannot be installed on another partition. An error occurs. If instead I create a Ubuntu installation and dd that root partition, refit says “No boot partition”.
[08:48] <luc4> Maybe related to the fact that refit only reads fat32?
[08:49] <daftykins> surely you mean refind.
[08:50] <rjaac> a27
[08:53] <ddo> @eeee so what should i do
[08:53] <ddo> i forgot to backup my old config
[08:56] <wlxmhls> hi guys, I want to learn 3D developing. Could you recommend which tool to use? Thanks!
[08:56] <rjaac> for 3D developing i think Blender is top notch
[08:57] <rjaac> hi guys
[08:57] <luc4> daftykins: no, I mean refit
[08:57] <luc4> daftykins: should I use refind?
[08:58] <wlxmhls> what about freecad/silo
[08:59] <daftykins> luc4: it's newer!
[09:00] <luc4> daftykins: tried with that already anyway
[09:00] <daftykins> luc4: do you not own a DVD / USB flash drive?
[09:00] <luc4> daftykins: DVD yes, but it is broken :-)
[09:00] <luc4> daftykins: USB does not boot
[09:00] <daftykins> how old is this thing?
[09:00] <luc4> daftykins: 2006 macbook
[09:02] <daftykins> hah, ok i've done USB boot with a mid-2010 one
[09:02] <daftykins> not that old though
[09:03] <luc4> daftykins: how did you create that usb?
[09:03] <luc4> daftykins: startup disk creator?
[09:03] <luc4> daftykins: or unetbootin?
[09:04] <daftykins> 'dd'
[09:04] <luc4> daftykins: what I can’t understand is why it boots by dd’ing the startup disk but not dd’ing an installation.
[09:04] <luc4> daftykins: So you download the ubuntu image and dd the iso into the usb?
[09:05] <daftykins> yep
[09:06] <daftykins> i dunno, that seems like such a weird way of installing to me
[09:06] <daftykins> luc4: are you doing EFI or BIOS installs?
[09:06] <daftykins> eh
[09:07] <daftykins> to be honest i don't know how macs and refit/refind work so i can't really comment
[09:07] <luc4> daftykins: I suppose EFI. There is no bios in there.
[09:07] <daftykins> was the 2006 model too early for bootcamp?
[09:07] <luc4> daftykins: no, I think it is in there.
[09:07] <daftykins> as it'd have BIOS emulation otherwise
[09:08] <daftykins> so when you tried a flash drive, you held left alt after the chime and just never saw a flash drive listing?
[09:10] <luc4> daftykins: no, I see the flash drive option, but then I get a number of errors.
[09:10] <Surendil> morning
[09:12] <MichaelH_> hi everyone
[09:13] <killer> hey, any good alternative to notify-send , I can't utilize the time-out function in notify-send . So any alternative with functional time-out
[09:14] <MichaelH_> How do I find out the HD and Parition number to be used for GRUB boot command line ?
[09:14] <MichaelH_> I need it in the format of (hd#,#) .. I only get sdb7 on here
[09:15] <Surendil> MichaelH_: by number, you mean, /dev/sdaX?
[09:16] <errietta> how do i set a custom motd? i put my message inside a new file in /etc/update-motd.d/ but it says it can't be executed
[09:16] <MichaelH_> Surendil: no, i got that /dev/sdb7  but I need it in (hd#,#)
[09:16] <errietta> sigh
[09:17] <MichaelH_> Surendil: As far as I can see, Grub doesnt understand the "sdb7" format and needs the (HD_Number,Partition_Number)  something like (hd3,6)
[09:18] <geirha> errietta: That's because those files get executed
[09:19] <MichaelH_> (Counting from 0 ) , I have the Ubuntu install on the 4th HD (connected to Sata2_3 slot on the mother board) and on the 7th Partition
[09:19] <errietta> i went for using cat to print a text file
[09:20] <errietta> probably easiest way :p
[09:22] <geirha> errietta: well, you can put the text in the script by using a heredoc.  cat << 'EOF'<newline>lines of text here<newline>EOF
[09:23] <vitimiti> Hi
[09:25] <errietta> also,k  can i prevent the login screen from starting automatically?
[09:25] <errietta> and get just a terminal
[09:25] <errietta> not gui
[09:26] <Svetlana> errietta: hi! what are you using for boot? upstart, systemd, something else? set your display manager to not boot automatically in that
[09:26] <Surendil> ./surendil
[09:26] <errietta> eek *hideds*
[09:27] <eeee> errietta: you can add "text" to your grub kernel line ( Linux vmlinuz ..... text )
[09:28] <askprobleemm-> excuse me. i have problem. i had open firefox.then i did'nt do anything. after that, i open another application(in the same time i see in my terminal) . i see in my terminal (use netstat), why firefox send data to internet.?that we know i did'nt do anything with firefox(idle). what it was happent?
[09:28] <askprobleemm-> *why it was happent?
[09:29] <MichaelH_> askprobleemm-: U know that FF sends report / performance data to FF server ? u can disable that somewhere in the setting .. also check if u have Sync on
[09:30] <MichaelH_> askprobleemm-: and, the page u are on my do some refresh if it has ads on it .. that will request new ads/data and "use the internet" while Idel ?

[09:33] <artemm> Hello. I'm trying to mount storage disk automatically on system startup. I put into /etc/fstab:
[09:33] <artemm> UUID=627cd586-cfb1-49eb-83b4-ee52e95b36bf /home/artemm/store           ext4    defaults,errors=remount-ro        0       2
[09:34] <artemm> Running sudo mount -av mounts storage disk normally. After reboot it looks mounted but does not contain any fles or folders (empty in Nautilus). Any idea what could be wrong?
[09:34] <askprobleemm-> MichaelH_, thx sir. is it danger for our data such as when we use text editor . ff send report send our data?
[09:34] <askprobleemm-> *MichaelH_, thx sir. is it danger for our data such as when we use text editor ?. ff send report send our data?
[09:34] <errietta> thanks
[09:37] <askprobleemm-> *MichaelH_, to our data
[09:38] <askprobleemm-> *MichaelH_,ok sir. thx for your info. i try to find how to disable it. thx very much.
[09:38] <askprobleemm-> MichaelH_,ok sir. thx for your info. i try to find how to disable it. thx very much.
[09:38] <joschhh> I want to update a server running Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04. The problem is that I can't access the server room this weekend, so I've only remote access. I'm using freenx to administrate the server remotely but before starting the update the package "freenx" is on the list with packages that get removed during the update. How can I ensure that I can access remotely even after the update 10.04->12.04?
[09:38] <cfhowlett> !server | joschhh,
[09:38] <Svetlana> errietta: (display manager being lightdm, gdm or whatever else -- you could also turn off Xorg in the same -- i used 'bum' package at a point but it massively failed to be a gui for this)
[09:39] <k1l_> well, just making "text" a boot option solves the task in the first place.
[09:39] <Svetlana> ah, yes, that's right
[09:39] <errietta> yeah text worked
[09:39] <OERIAS> ola. onde pode encontrar o canal de ubuntu em portugues europeu?
[09:40] <k1l_> !pt | OERIAS
[09:40] <OERIAS> k1l_,  European Portugues
[09:41] <k1l_> OERIAS: what about #ubuntu-pt ?
[09:41] <indrachavan> New to Linux. facing an issue with desktop after updating XUbuntu 14.04
[09:41] <OERIAS> k1l_, sorry I read too quickly. lol
[09:41] <indrachavan> after updating and rebooting, the desktop now has an unclickable area on the right side like an overlay
[09:41] <OERIAS> Hey the brazilian channel has no ops or anyone on the channel
[09:42] <indrachavan> http://i.stack.imgur.com/JedAD.png
[09:42] <indrachavan> please help with the same
[09:43] <k1l_> OERIAS: well, make sure the channel name doesnt end with "
[09:43] <OERIAS> k1l_, never mind it was the quotation that sent me there.
[09:44] <Svetlana> indrachavan: i would check with the #xubuntu folks (sounds like you probably have a wrong screen resolution set or something like that)
[09:45] <indrachavan> thanks Svetlana. Seems so too but this wasnt a problem before updating
[09:47] <Nosphar> hi there
[09:47] <Nosphar> in what place in /etc/apache2 do i put the part from example.conf from wordpress, please?
[09:47] <Svetlana> can you show me the "part from example.conf"?
[09:48] <Nosphar> Svetlana: this part: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8538250/
[09:51] <Svetlana> Nosphar: this has to go to sites-enabled subdirectory of the directory where apache2.conf lives
[09:52] <maxvader> can somebody help me with gparted
[09:52] <Nosphar> Svetlana: at the moment there is only a symlink 000-default.conf -> ../sites-available/000-default.conf
[09:53] <Svetlana> that is fine, edit it and add the virtualhost in there :)
[09:53] <shibboleth> Svetlana, Nosphar: I would rather advice that you copy the default config and edit it
[09:53] <shibboleth> Nosphar: afterwards, delete the default symlink
[09:53] <Svetlana> oh yes, i now see why it's called a default config! an excellent idea -- i have been always just using the default one
[09:54] <Svetlana> (which was a bit weird a feeling)
[09:54] <shibboleth> Nosphar: you should also unlink status* and autoindex* in mods-enabled
[09:55] <shibboleth> Nosphar: cgi* is not activated by default
[09:56] <Nosphar> hmmm
[09:57] <askprobleemm-> i did'nt found how to disable ff send data. how to do that?
[09:57] <shibboleth> firefox telemetry, HTTP POST, what?
[09:57] <athira> Hi,   I have attched a patch for the bug  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/secure-delete/+bug/1246286 but it didn't get reviewed .Could someone please help me to proceed with the bug?
[09:57] <Nosphar> apache 1.x was so much easier to configure
[09:59] <Nosphar> ah, a2dismod is the magic command
[10:00] <athira>  Hi,   I have attched a patch for the bug  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/secure-delete/+bug/1246286 but it didn't get reviewed .Could someone please help me to proceed with the bug?
[10:00] <shibboleth> Nosphar: you preferred that monolithic config file?
[10:01] <Nosphar> shibboleth: maybe i habituate too much
[10:01] <shibboleth> Nosphar: also, the mods-/sites-enabled/available structure is mandated by distro/packaging, you can still cram it all into httpd.conf

[10:04] <codephobic> hi
[10:04] <codephobic> I recently installled moc on ubuntu 14.04
[10:05] <codephobic> For some reason the audio is completely garbled and it plays the files at 3-4x normal speed.
[10:05] <codephobic> I've searched for speed settings, but can't find any, anyone help?
[10:06] <Nosphar> shibboleth: is it possible that i saw your nick on twitter btw? :P
[10:06] <Surendil> codephobic: is not about speed i think, is about cpu and ram usage
[10:06] <shibboleth> Nosphar: social media? nevvah
[10:06] <Nosphar> hehe
[10:07] <Surendil> !ping
[10:07] <codephobic> Surendil, oh, wasn't aware of that ... any recommended settings/configurations?
[10:08] <Surendil> codephobic: might be a good idea to know which or what is taking all cpu usage
[10:09] <athira> Hi,    I have attched a patch for the bug  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/secure-delete/+bug/1246286 but it didn't get reviewed .Could someone please help me to proceed with the bug?
[10:10] <codephobic> Surendil, I've got 'top' running ... 16GB RAM, 2 VMs (web dev stuff, both using upto 1GB RAM in total) and wow .. 35.9% of my CPU is being used by Firefox
[10:10] <codephobic> looking at temps and per-core usage, much of my system is underused
[10:11] <codephobic> it's telling me 3gb is free
[10:12] <Surendil> codephobic: update sound drivers?
[10:12] <codephobic> I can't figure how moc would have trouble getting adequate ram or cpu % [of my core i5 4670k] on my system
[10:13] <codephobic> hmm, I'm reticent to do that unless I absolutely have to. I've had plenty of audio chip related pains with Ubuntu in the recent past.
[10:14] <codephobic> VLC and Rhythmbox work perfectly, so could this really be a alsa/pulseaudio issue?
[10:14] <Ben64>  i'd say yes
[10:14] <OerHeks> i would say moc issue
[10:14] <codephobic> oh
[10:14] <codephobic> :(
[10:14] <kevindf> What would be the best backup solution to upload 1 folder (teamspeak server) to a remote website?
[10:14] <Surendil> i would say moc missing codecs
[10:15] <kevindf> to keep my teamspeak server data backed up
[10:15] <codephobic> ah
[10:15] <Ben64> kevindf: rsync
[10:15] <kevindf> alright
[10:15] <codephobic> Surendil, so I need to look up the moc codecs for mp3, flac etc?
[10:16] <Ben64> or not use moc : /
[10:17] <codephobic> Ben64, that's a shame. I used to have moc running in the background whenever I was coding, prefer it to the occasionally buggy rhythmbox.
[10:17] <codephobic> now rhythmbox works but moc does not :(
[10:17] <Ben64> i mean, theres other alternatives... mplayer2 comes to mind
[10:18] <codephobic> I haven't really looked into the alternatives, I just assumed that if moc wasn't working right, I must have been missing something.
[10:19] <Ben64> pulseaudio is weird with certain things
[10:19] <Ben64> or certain things are weird with it
[10:19] <Surendil> codephobic: kaffeine
[10:19] <codephobic> but yeah, I will have to look at something lightweight and nimble ... I used to have Clementine, might go that route again.
[10:20] <codephobic> Surendil, I haven't tried that before, should I apt-get that or is there a better way to install it?
[10:21] <Surendil> codephobic: apt-get
[10:21] <codephobic> k, will give it a go right now :)
[10:21] <lololo> What's up?
[10:23] <OerHeks> !info quodlibet
[10:24] <codephobic> btw, is there anyway to play blu-ray movies on linux yet? I mean other than having to rip them to disk etc ... I've got a stack of movies I bought a while back and it seems a shame to reboot into windows for them...
[10:24] <OerHeks> !blueray
[10:24] <OerHeks> some ccan, most don't
[10:24] <codephobic> oh, thanks
[10:25] <codephobic> well, I'll have a read of that stuff ... if there's something stable out there, might as well get it.
[10:25] <codephobic> save myself a reboot and more virtualboxes under windows.
[10:26] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[10:27] <codephobic> ah, kaffeine is a KDE app ... no wonder I wasn't familiar with it
[10:27] <codephobic> looks nice
[10:27] <Ben64> usually safe to assume anything starting with a k is a KDE application :)
[10:27] <codephobic> hehe
[10:27] <codephobic> I'd forgotten all that
[10:29] <azizLIGHT> whats a music player thats puts the artist - title in the indicator panel or at least shows notification popups for artist- title after a song change?
[10:29] <codephobic> (and Kaffeine's just hanged in the background ... lol)
[10:30] <OerHeks> clementine does that, and some other players too
[10:30] <codephobic> azizLIGHT, banshee and rhythmbox both do that, iirc.
[10:30] <OerHeks> azizLIGHT, ^^
[10:30] <codephobic> ^^ and Clementine.
[10:30] <azizLIGHT> which of those is super lightweight
[10:30] <codephobic> Clementine
[10:31] <azizLIGHT> i just need playlist features and nothing else
[10:31] <azizLIGHT> like good palylist mangageentn
[10:31] <eeee> azizLIGHT: rhythmbox is lightweight, but it hangs a lot.
[10:31] <azizLIGHT> ok i can apt-get clementine?
[10:31] <eeee> ( at least here )
[10:31] <azizLIGHT> oh
[10:31] <OERIAS>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I use clementine
[10:31] <OERIAS> sorry
[10:31] <codephobic> yep, rhythmbox (in my experience) hangs a hell of a lot ....
[10:32] <codephobic> lol
[10:32] <eeee> OERIAS: OK!
[10:32] <OERIAS> is there a way for clementine to sync mobile phones?
[10:32] <azizLIGHT> clementine puts notification popups or has a indicator panel
[10:32] <azizLIGHT> for song info
[10:32] <OerHeks> clementine can handle large music collections fast, that is why i like it, and the equaliser
[10:32] <vitimiti> I use Rhythmbox and it doesn't hang
[10:33] <eeee> vitimiti: which ubuntu and arch ?
[10:33] <vitimiti> Utopic and amd64
[10:33] <codephobic> vitimiti, hmm you're lucky :)
[10:33] <vitimiti> I use the music-app, too, but as it's under development, I prefer Rhythmbox
[10:34] <azizLIGHT> basically what am trying to do is i got a internet radio station, sometimes it plays good songs sometimes not. i wanna know the song info, if its a lame song, mute, if its a good song unmute
[10:34] <azizLIGHT> so i was thinking i can watch a indicator panel with song info or something and mute/unmute manually
[10:34] <codephobic> I've had Rhythmbox under several iterations of Ubuntu and with several different cpu & ram configurations, it has served well but with frequent hangs/crashes.
[10:35] <lumia900> whats the config i need t
[10:35] <azizLIGHT> anyone get me
[10:35] <OerHeks> azizLIGHT, why you need song info to say it is a lame song? use your ears :-D
[10:35] <vitimiti> It's only hanged for me when all of the PC starts hanging, like when Compiz fails
[10:36] <codephobic> vitimiti, I don't want to jinx it, so not gonna say anything about the stability (or otherwise) of my ubuntu ...
[10:37] <codephobic> but I've frequently had to open terminal and kill it or wait for 10 minutes or so, for it to recover from its hanged state.
[10:37] <azizLIGHT> OerHeks: haha fair enough
[10:37] <lumia900> my host name is not getting ping
[10:37] <lumia900> any help
[10:37] <azizLIGHT> OerHeks: i guess im trying to see what song it is while its playing. sometimes im not paying attention
[10:37] <lumia900> i can ping my serer ip but not the host name
[10:37] <azizLIGHT> i wanna get the song infopermanently in the indicator panel
[10:37] <codephobic> I suspect it is either or both due to the size of my music collection and the fact that I run it across my network from a NAS ... bandwidth related issues possibly.
[10:38] <azizLIGHT> like while im browsing, im not going to switch to the music player just to see what song it is
[10:38] <lumia900> its frced static ip i have configured
[10:38] <codephobic> lumia900, tried looking up hostname -f in terminal?
[10:39] <lumia900> codephobic that shows my hostname perfect
[10:39] <lumia900> ubuntu server 14.04
[10:39] <lumia900> my host name is CMLSVR02
[10:39] <codephobic> lumia900, what about /etc/hosts - is it in there?
[10:40] <codephobic> should be there with your 127... loopback and your network (LAN) IP, if you've setup a static ip
[10:41] <codephobic> (just had to kill Kaffeine, gave it 10 mins+ but was still hanging :()
[10:42] <lumia900> http://pastebin.com/WFzezGBR
[10:42] <vitimiti> Rebooting
[10:42] <lumia900> codephobic the one in last was added by me manually.. just tried it might resolve
[10:43] <codephobic> lumia900, I think you need to have your hostname attached to both your loopback address and your network address
[10:43] <codephobic> eg 192... hostname
[10:43] <codephobic> 127... localhost hostname
[10:44] <lumia900> 10.0.1.201 CMLSVR02
[10:44] <codephobic> and then best to reboot just to make the network daemon load the settings (possible without, but not 100% guaranteed to work)
[10:44] <codephobic> lumia900, yep that ... I was just trying not to divulge your network ip :)
[10:45] <lumia900> 127.0.0.1 CMLSVR02
[10:45] <codephobic> not that it matters, it's perfectly safe, but I'm a little paranoid about other people's stuff.
[10:45] <codephobic> 127.0.0.1 localhost CMLSVR02
[10:45] <codephobic> you need to keep localhost.
[10:45] <lumia900> 127.0.1.1 is the right ?
[10:46] <codephobic> that should be fine
[10:47] <lumia900> let me see i have reboot the server now
[10:47] <codephobic> k
[10:47] <codephobic> good luck
[10:48] <Sohail-Ahmed> I have been working on this desktop pc for over 2 years. its a dual boot with ubuntu and window 7 with 2 hard disks. Today I retarted the machine from ubuntu so that I can switch to windows for playing cs1.6, a strange thing start happening, the whole process of booting started in very very slow motion. Does any body has a clue, what actually happened or is happening????
[10:49] <cfhowlett> Sohail-Ahmed, hardware failure?  ram failure?   so many variables ...
[10:49] <b0x> bad sectors?
[10:49] <Sohail-Ahmed> I have checked in boot set up. Its showing the exact ram
[10:49] <Sohail-Ahmed> how can I be sure about bad sectors?
[10:50] <tracyone> hi
[10:50] <tracyone> in ubuntu 14.04 i can not find xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[10:50] <lumia900> codephobic my luck it works :)
[10:50] <codephobic> lumia900, excellent :)
[10:50] <codephobic> happy ... dev'ing?

[10:52] <cfhowlett> Sohail-Ahmed, do I understand then that boot failed??
[10:53] <Sohail-Ahmed> no boot has not failed. it has just gone tooooooooooooooo slow
[10:53] <cfhowlett> Sohail-Ahmed, I don't have enough knowledge to recommend tools but ##linux would know
[10:54] <Sohail-Ahmed> cfhowlett:  thanks!!!
[10:55] <cfhowlett> Sohail-Ahmed, happy2help
[10:55] <eeee> Sohail-Ahmed: if you boot into ubuntu, check dmesg
[10:55] <OerHeks> Sohail-Ahmed, if windows boots slow, nothing to do with linux i guess
[10:56] <Sohail-Ahmed> no the whole process of booting meaning from the first screen to onward is toooooo slow. even the navigation with in grub options of OS is too slow
[10:57]  * cfhowlett places a small wager on RAM failure
[10:58] <otakbeku> Sohail-Ahmed: try reinstall your grub
[10:58] <Sohail-Ahmed> how???
[10:59] <otakbeku> google it
[11:01] <OerHeks> !google
[11:01] <OerHeks> !grub
[11:01] <codephobic> Sohail-Ahmed, you should be able to get reliable disk health info in Ubuntu using the "Disks" app.
[11:02] <Sohail-Ahmed> I have just looged onto ubuntu, it was like my old pc, meaning nothing was slow there. but now I am again in slow grub when I restarted.
[11:02] <codephobic> that should give you info on bad blocks, on any attached hard drive
[11:03] <bekks> Sohail-Ahmed: "slow grub"?
[11:03] <otakbeku> They should have something to indicate if the user is new or not. Well there are a lot of trolls these days.
[11:03] <OerHeks> Sohail-Ahmed, what windows, win8 ?
[11:03] <Sohail-Ahmed> 7
[11:03] <Sohail-Ahmed> yes bekks its like booting in very slow motion
[11:03] <OerHeks> fastboot enabled? that could explain this issue
[11:03] <Sohail-Ahmed> I dont know about fastboot
[11:04] <Miar> #kali-linux
[11:04] <OerHeks> Miar, please don't spam, thanks
[11:05] <otakbeku> Sohail-Ahmed: maybe you got a boot sector virus and it is starting a program at the booting process. Try get into bash in grub and monitor if there is outcoming connection or anomaly activity.
[11:05] <Miar> sorry I meant to type /j #kali-linux
[11:05] <As4xk> Hi. I copy paste the same ldapsearch command (ldapsearch -x -H ldap://misc.nas.ludi.no -D ...MY_DN... -W) into both my FreeBSD server and Ubuntu server. All entries are returned on FreeBSD, but "No such object" is returned on my Ubuntu 14.04 server. Any idea what could be wrong?
[11:05] <bekks> otakbeku: You cannot get into bash in grub. All there is is the grub shell.
[11:06] <bekks> Sohail-Ahmed: How long did you not use that computer?
[11:06] <Sohail-Ahmed> otakbeku:  Would you please be specific how to monitor about outcomming connection or abnormal activity
[11:06] <otakbeku> bekks: oh i'm sorry. I confused between between those shells.
[11:07] <Sohail-Ahmed> bekks:  this computer is ON from last 3 or 4 days
[11:07] <bekks> Sohail-Ahmed: So can you define "slow booting" a bit further?
[11:07] <otakbeku> Sohail-Ahmed: netstat -lep
[11:08] <Sohail-Ahmed> its like normal booting but you can think of it as a boooting in verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slow motion.
[11:09] <otakbeku> Sohail-Ahmed: or maybe you should try to do memory test in the bios menu
[11:09] <bekks> Sohail-Ahmed: Can be be more detailed, like telling times?
[11:09] <Sohail-Ahmed> at present I am in ubuntu, and I was told earlier to use Disk app to get some tests on hard drives
[11:12] <codephobic> Sohail-Ahmed, use the "Disk" app to see the health of your attached disks
[11:14] <Sohail-Ahmed> bekks: my boot option has first option as ubunut then advanced options for ubuntu, then 3rd and then windows. I need approx 10 secs to move between each of them. 10 secss to move from ubuntu to adavned options then onward.
[11:14] <Sohail-Ahmed> by moving I mean when I presss up and down buttons
[11:14] <codephobic> I've had similar troubles in the past and they have tended to be as a result of a dying drive or bad blocks that the OS was written on.
[11:15] <codephobic> as everyone's saying, there could be a variety of factors but, to atleast get some idea of the health of the disks is useful for eliminating potential faults from consideration.
[11:16] <Sohail-Ahmed> codephobic: would you please be specfic which app would be useful
[11:17] <Sohail-Ahmed> I already have gparted
[11:17] <codephobic> Sohail-Ahmed, the app I was talking about earlier is "Disks", just open the dash and type Disks
[11:18] <codephobic> it will give you a health, bad block etc status on each attached drive
[11:20] <codephobic> anyway, best get gone.
[11:20] <codephobic> thanks all for the help :)
[11:24] <Miar> Guys ubuntu runs way slower than windows 8.1 on my same machine. Is this supposed to be happening or is there a fix?
[11:25] <otakbeku> Ubuntu got lots of bloatware actually. Try to install server edition and install/start only what you need
[11:26] <cfhowlett> Miar, try a less resource-hungry desktop environment;  sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4
[11:26] <Ben64> no it doesn't. unity might be slowing it down if you have a slow GPU or something
[11:26] <cfhowlett> Miar, then logout choose an alternate session and login.
[11:27] <Miar> hm
[11:27] <Miar> But I thought my GPU was sufficient, I have 4 gb ram , 1 tb harddisk(i assigned 80 gb to ubuntu) ,i5 4th gen. Isnt it?
[11:28] <Ben64> what gpu
[11:28] <ph88> hey guys how can i know when i will get a new version of php with apt-get ?
[11:28] <Miar> Nvidea Geforce 750m 2gb
[11:28] <teejmya> Miar: VM?
[11:28] <Ben64> yeah thats not too great, but you should check if you have the proprietary drivers enabled
[11:28] <cfhowlett> Miar, "sufficient" yes, but unity is a known glutton.  testing an alternative might be informative
[11:29] <Ben64> probably need nvidia-prime for that
[11:29] <OerHeks> ph88, update will tell you
[11:29] <ph88> OerHeks: there is no new package available now, so when ?
[11:29] <Miar> No, not VM.
[11:30] <Miar> Okay thanks. Ill try another alternative environment.
[11:30] <OerHeks> phwhen it comes out, i guess not with the LTS
[11:31] <ph88> yes when does it come out ?
[11:31] <teejmya> Miar: Have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[11:31] <teejmya> just noticed that's already been mentioned
[11:31] <OerHeks> ph88, next release utopic will have 5.5.12 http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/php5
[11:32] <ph88> oki thx
[11:32] <ph88> OerHeks: is this for ubuntu 14.10 then ? i dont know about utopic
[11:33] <OerHeks> utopic = 14.10, it will be out in a few weeks
[11:33] <ph88> ok cool
[11:33] <ph88> will my ubuntu 14.04 update to 14.10 ?
[11:34] <eeee> ph88: if you want it to
[11:34] <ph88> with the software updater ?
[11:35] <bazhang> once 14.10 is released
[11:35] <eeee> ph88: it might inform you of a new release, i'm not sure. You can open a terminal and type sudo do-release-upgrade , to upgrade.
[11:35] <ph88> ok i will see in a few weeks
[11:35] <bazhang> if you upgrade prior to that, keeping up to date will land you with it
[11:36] <Quatroking> thank you ubuntu for reviving my laptop after the nvidia gpu broke
[11:37] <Quatroking> windows would only work with the microsoft basic display driver, which can't really do anything, but ubuntu's basic driver allows me to do pretty much everything

[11:41] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion, audacity
[11:42] <Quatroking> cfhowlett, is it out as in 14.10?
[11:43] <cfhowlett> Quatroking, it's NOT out.  be patience ... AND ask yourself: do you really NEED a distro that has only 6 months of support?  if not = LTS = 5 years
[11:43] <Sohail-Ahmed> otakbeku: I tried netstat -lep in grub terminal, but it says 'cant find command netstat'
[11:43] <Quatroking> wait I thought 14.04 wasn't LTS either
[11:43] <Sohail-Ahmed> cfhowlett:  Hard disks are ok. no red lines
[11:43] <cfhowlett> Quatroking, falst.  14.04 is LTS
[11:44] <Quatroking> oh
[11:44] <cfhowlett> *false*
[11:44] <OerHeks> !info gramofile

[12:07] <cfhowlett> Surendil, not really ... global community = not morning all over.  "greetings"
[12:09] <CJDM> Hello, I have a question about the 4GB RAM in Ubuntu 32 bits. I have dual boot with Windows Vista 32 bits and while Windows shows 4GB of RAM Ubuntu only shows 3GB, why?
[12:10] <OerHeks> CJDM, linux counts all memory, ram, cache, videomemory and such, so you have a big videocardmemory
[12:11] <OerHeks> * and how windows counts, we are not responcible for that outcome
[12:11] <Surendil> cfhowlett: you are right
[12:11] <cfhowlett> Surendil, no worries.  what's your ubuntu issue???
[12:12] <CJDM> But that does not mean my Ubuntu partition is working in a bad way, right?
[12:12] <Surendil> cfhowlett: I don't have any
[12:14] <OerHeks> CJDM, no, you have full acces to 4 gb, only systemmemory is limited to 3 gb
[12:15] <CJDM> OerHeks, thanks. Do you think I should reinstall an Ubuntu version of 64 bits?
[12:15] <Surendil> `/surendil
[12:15] <Quatroking> how can I find out what chipset my bluetooth adapter uses?
[12:15] <OerHeks> CJDM, if your CPU is capable, sure !
[12:16] <CJDM> OerHeks, is a ntel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz × 2
[12:16] <OerHeks> Quatroking, use ' lsusb' and search with the 8 digit hex ID number
[12:16] <Catbuntu> Hi
[12:16] <OerHeks> CJDM, should work with 64 bit http://ark.intel.com/products/36503/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E7500-3M-Cache-2_93-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB
[12:17] <Quatroking> "Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)"
[12:17] <Quatroking> thanks
[12:17] <CJDM> Thanks, OerHeks, Thanks a lot.
[12:17] <Quatroking> it's a cheap $2 adapter that stopped working on my win8.1 desktop so I'm trying to find drivers for it
[12:17] <Quatroking> that's not ubuntu-related though, I only used ubuntu here for identification
[12:17] <Quatroking> :)
[12:18] <OerHeks> Quatroking, it will work OOTB i guess
[12:18] <kestasjk> Hi, I've got a desktop media server set up, and I cant get a wired connection to it so I've got a wifi connection going
[12:19] <Quatroking> well it used to do that, OerHeks, but not since 8.1
[12:19] <Ascavasaion> I have "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)", and it works in Ubuntu as is.
[12:19] <kestasjk> but its very flakey, and if I move the antennas around that seems to help, but in windows there was always this screen that let you turn the power output up etc to give it some extra oomph
[12:19] <kestasjk> Ive looked for a device manager or something, but cant find anything
[12:19] <Quatroking> it works on my ubuntu machine, my mint machine, my xp, my win2k, my win7, it worked on win8 but quit working on 8.1
[12:20] <Ascavasaion> Quatroking: Oh, Windows... no idea... sorry.
[12:20] <Quatroking> but as I said that's a windows problem, not an ubuntu problem. Glad I was able to figure out the chipset with ubuntu though
[12:20] <Quatroking> at least I own like 5 of them, made it easy to figure out if it was hardware-related
[12:21] <BluesKaj> hi all
[12:22] <CapsuL> hello
[12:22] <CapsuL> someone can be help me ?
[12:23] <CapsuL> impossible to connect my computer on my wireless home
[12:23] <CapsuL> i just instal gnome , and he detect network , i put true password
[12:24] <Quatroking> how can I config my ubuntu to turn the screen off after 5 minutes of inactivity when on battery, but keep it on until the end of times when plugged in?
[12:24] <CapsuL> after i see nnetworking picture/widget ok
[12:24] <eeee> Quatroking: settings > power
[12:24] <CapsuL> but nothing with firefox or ping www.google.fr
[12:25] <Quatroking> that doesn't list the monitor setting, eeee
[12:25] <eeee> Quatroking: settings > brightness
[12:25] <Quatroking> only suspend
[12:25] <eeee> Quatroking: nevermind
[12:25] <Quatroking> and the setting in brightness is global, for both plugged in and on battery :)
[12:25] <eeee> i don't know if you can have it different for on a/c or battery
[12:26] <eeee> yeah :)
[12:26] <Quatroking> on windows you just do it with a power plan, real easy, but ubuntu doesn't seem to have this
[12:26] <eeee> Quatroking: I'm pretty sure you can modify it, because when i'm on battery and the power gets low, the screen dims pretty quickly
[12:27] <Quatroking> yeah I have that too
[12:27] <CapsuL> aout dns maybe ?
[12:28] <CapsuL> about dns maybe ?
[12:30] <eeee> Quatroking: maybe it defaults to dimming it after 5mins or so on battery?
[12:30] <Sohail-Ahmed> I don't know where was the problem but my windows restoration of 10 days earlier solved my grub problem
[12:30] <Quatroking> eeee, probably
[12:31] <Quatroking> I'd really like my monitor to stay on when plugged in though
[12:31] <eeee> Quatroking: if it does, then you could set it to never dim in brightness.
[12:31] <eeee> and leave the "dim to save power" checked, that way it would dim if it's on battery
[12:31] <eeee> ( i think )
[12:31] <Quatroking> I think that's still global
[12:32] <Quatroking> yeah that's global
[12:32] <Quatroking> dim screen to save power is only used when the battery is running at like 25% or so
[12:33] <Quatroking> huh, it really surprises me that I can't quickly find something like windows' power plan
[12:34] <eeee> i just tried it
[12:34] <eeee> it's not global
[12:34] <eeee> set it to never dim, and leave the pc untouched on battery
[12:34] <eeee> it'll dim after a min or so
[12:35] <eeee> ( my battery is almost full )
[12:35] <Quatroking> oh, okay, lemme try that out
[12:35] <Quatroking> if that's true then that's some pretty bad wording there
[12:35] <eeee> why?
[12:35] <kristian_> hi all
[12:35] <eeee> it says dim to save power
[12:35] <Quatroking> nothing indicates a difference between plugged and on battery
[12:35] <Quatroking> I assumed the setting was for when it's low on battery
[12:36] <eeee> dim to save power kind of implies you're on battery and you want to dim to save power
[12:36] <Quatroking> Yeah
[12:36] <Quatroking> but I don't want to have my screen dimmed and then locked when plugged in
[12:37] <eeee> Quatroking: the setting below it is for when you're plugged in
[12:37] <eeee> you can set it to never dim, and/or lock
[12:37] <Quatroking> really?
[12:37] <eeee> yeah, that's what i'm saying
[12:38] <eeee> set the one below to never dim, (it's for when it's plugged in) and leave dim checked
[12:38] <Quatroking> okay, thanks
[12:38] <eeee> no problem :)
[12:38] <Quatroking> still it'd be so much nicer if you had the amount of options windows gives you here
[12:39] <Quatroking> I'd show a screenshot of an example but I don't have windows running on a laptop atm
[12:40] <eeee> Quatroking: well all that's extra is that you can set how long before it dims when it's on battery
[12:40] <bastidrazor> apples to oranges
[12:40] <eeee> Quatroking: you can change that with gsettings or dconf-editor
[12:40] <eeee> open a terminal and type gsettings list-recursively | grep brightness , if you want to see stuff
[12:40] <eeee> you can set the amount of brightness it dims to probably, too
[12:43] <Adlez> hi I need an application to copy Ubuntu in a usb
[12:43] <Adlez> for intalling it
[12:43] <Quatroking> Adlez, are you currently on windows?
[12:43] <Adlez> no xubuntu
[12:43] <Quatroking> oh ok
[12:44] <Adlez> Quatroking my software center does not work
[12:44] <OerHeks> xubuntu has got usb-creator too, no?
[12:44] <Adlez> no
[12:45] <Quatroking> usb-creator-gtk should help you out there
[12:45] <Adlez> how can I download it?
[12:46] <OerHeks> ADyes it should,  you can find it in your menu as Create a USB startup disk (on Xubuntu it is located under Applications->System)
[12:46] <Quatroking> Adlez, open up a terminal, sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk
[12:46] <day--> if i disable secureboot. do i need gummiboot/ deal with the efi trouble?
[12:46] <Quatroking> or that
[12:47] <Adlez> Grazieeee
[12:50] <bluer> Hello, I had some problems with the suspend mode(never ending high cpu load after wakeup), and couldn't solve it on launchpad/ubuntuask/forums etc.  One workaround that unbinds and binds pata sis(I guess) caused overheating in myy HDD ( lost the whole disc ).  I want to try 14.10 when it comes out, but I have no hope left to be honest. So my question is if I try the new release, for deep problems
[12:50] <bluer> like mine, is this chat a better place since it is the Oficial support channel?
[13:01] <CapsuL> help me ! i show my network wireless  but i can't connect it .. true password .. just be formated for ubuntu gnome 14

[13:05] <Quatroking> screen still dimmed after 5 mins
[13:06] <Quatroking> and once fully dimmed, boom, locked
[13:07] <CapsuL> thx jeremy31
[13:08] <CapsuL> nothing on IPv6 and IPv4 setting ... what can i put in editing routes for my_network
[13:12] <jeremy31> You will need to access your wifi routers config to change or check the security settings and you can usually access it using a web browser like firefox.  I use 192.168.1.1 to access my router settings

[13:34] <odisa> Hello. I'm having some trouble with my dual-boot laptop. I have Ubuntu 12.04 on one drive, and had Ubuntu 14.04 on another. I formatted the 14.04 drive (NTFS) to install Windows 7 on it, but the setup claims it was unable to create a new system partition. Also, when trying to boot in to 12.04, I now get the Grub recovery screen, not the usual menu..
[13:34] <odisa> Did I mess up the grub?
[13:34] <cfhowlett> odisa, one thing at a time.  suggest you first reinstall grub to recover your working system
[13:34] <eeee> odisa: maybe grub was on the other disk.
[13:34] <cfhowlett> !grub2
[13:34] <eeee> odisa: do you have a live usb?
[13:35] <odisa> cfhowlett: haha yeah sorry for overwhelming.. wasn't sure where to start.
[13:35] <cfhowlett> odisa, no worries.
[13:35] <odisa> eeee: can't remember tbh.. and no, I used the live ubuntu USB for the Windows install
[13:36] <odisa> I guess I could make another live usb
[13:36] <eeee> odisa: ok
[13:36] <eeee> odisa: make another live usb and boot it.
[13:36] <cfhowlett> odisa, *always* have a working ubuntu live usb nearby.  just sayin.
[13:36] <odisa> cfhowlett: I know.. I was going on good faith, haha
[13:37] <cfhowlett> odisa, uh huh.  How's *that* working for you?
[13:37] <odisa> cfhowlett: chaotic :)
[13:38] <odisa> wait, so is this grub issue interfering with me installing Windows?
[13:38] <cfhowlett> odisa, you did do one thing right: LTS only.
[13:38] <cfhowlett> odisa, install windows first is the recommended practice
[13:38] <odisa> I know.. figured wouldn't be much of an issue because they were seperate drives.. thought it'd be isolated
[13:39] <odisa> can I just take out the other drive to stop it from interfering?
[13:39] <eeee> odisa: yes
[13:39] <odisa> oh.. sweet
[13:39] <cfhowlett> odisa, yea but you'll still need to grub up ...
[13:39] <eeee> odisa: you would have to select which disk to boot from the bios though
[13:39] <odisa> cfhowlett: even if I'm going to install Windows on the first drive? I don't need to save the 12.04 per se.. it just has my backup partition on it is all
[13:40] <eeee> odisa: i'd recommend installing windows alone on the drive first. Then put the other drive and attempt to fix grub, and hopefully it will pick windows up on the other drive.
[13:41] <odisa> eeee: well I was thinking I'd do that.. I wanted to transfer my files from the 12.04 drives to my Windows drive, then format the 12.04 drive and install 14.04 on it
[13:41] <odisa> in that sense I'd be installing Windows first
[13:41] <odisa> then Ubuntu
[13:42] <odisa> alright, I'll try taking out the other drive and see what happens then
[13:42] <odisa> thanks
[13:43] <amacuser99> can i post a system rescue question here?
[13:44] <odisa> eeee: how exactly is grub interfering with the Windows install when I'm installing it from a USB though?
[13:45] <eeee> odisa: grub isn't interfering i think.
[13:45] <eeee> odisa: go to the windows command prompt, type diskpart , and make a partition table for your disk.
[13:46] <odisa> eeee: will try, sec, thanks
[13:46] <eeee> odisa: is this win8?
[13:46] <odisa> eeee: win7
[13:46] <eeee> ok
[13:46] <odisa> burned the iso to a USB
[13:51] <odisa> guess I should head over to a Windows chan for help on that
[13:51] <odisa> what type of partition table though?
[13:52] <M3mphiZ_> Hey guys, which Debian version is ubuntu 14.04 based on?
[13:57] <jq-> Whats the easiest way to set up daily backups of the whole filesystem in server 14.04?
[13:57] <somsip> !backup | jq-
[13:57] <jq-> !sbackup
[13:59] <somsip> M3mphiZ: "Starting with the 14.04 LTS development cycle, automatic full package import is performed from Debian unstable" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[13:59] <M3mphiZ> somsip: means debian 7?
[13:59] <jq-> somsip: Anything without a gui? This is for ubuntu server, not regular ubuntu. I don't wanna waste memory on a gui.
[13:59] <somsip> M3mphiZ: dunno. I have nothing to do with debian
[14:00] <somsip> M3mphiZ: does their 'unstable' branch have a name? Did it have on in 04/14?
[14:00] <somsip> *one
[14:00] <M3mphiZ> no idea
[14:00] <jq-> !cloning
[14:02] <jhutchins> jq-: There are a lot of ways to make backups, but basically it's just a matter of copying files to some other media.  rsync is an excellent tool for that.
[14:02] <eeee> odisa: MBR , i think.
[14:03] <jq-> jhutchins: Yeah I figured there's a million ways, that's why I asked here. Does rsync have options for automation?
[14:03] <odisa> thanks eeee .. doing some further searches on my question leads to mentions of my particular usb drive being a common culprit
[14:04] <odisa> may just be that for some odd reason
[14:04] <jhutchins> jq-: Not in itself, but you can schedule it (or pretty much anything else) with chron.
[14:04] <jq-> Hmm
[14:04] <jq-> Alright, I'll look into it
[14:04] <jq-> Thanks
[14:04] <jhutchins> jq-: A quick web search should come up with suggestions of what to include and what to exclude.
[14:05] <jhutchins> jq-: There are also tools like partclone that can do image backups.
[14:05] <Unknown0BC> I am confused. I have an android phone connected to a wifi router ( one of those small pocket ones ) and my Ubuntu (14.04.1 LTS )laptop connected to the same router. The router is offline ( ie no internet or other network ), its just connecting the laptop and the Android phone. When I ping the router from my Ubuntu laptop I get like 1-2 ms delays and zero packet loss. When I ping the android phone from the Ubuntu Laptop I get delays 30ms - 1000ms and sometim
[14:05] <Unknown0BC> es packet loss. When I ping the router from the Android phone I get acceptable delays like 15ms and never packet loss. What gives ?
[14:05] <jq-> jhutchins: Hmmm an image backup might be an even better option
[14:05] <Balduin1> how can I set the samba share to guest, so I could access the folder without credentials (username, password)
[14:07] <Unknown0BC> When I swap routers I get the same result.
[14:08] <OerHeks> Balduin1, guest ok=yes https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html#samba-fileserver-configuration
[14:08] <Balduin1> OerHeks thanks a lot!
[14:09] <root> hi
[14:09] <OerHeks> !rootirc
[14:10] <mykevirus> tar xvzf buduscript_3786_xxx.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2
[14:11] <jhutchins> jq-: The problem with an image backup is you really need to shut down the system.  Clonezilla offers an iso that has several backup tools on it.
[14:11] <jq-> jhutchins: I just came across clonezilla in a search
[14:11] <jq-> :P
[14:11] <yeahman> hello
[14:11] <mykevirus> tar xvzf buduscript_3786_2808.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2
[14:11] <jq-> jhutchins: Have you used acronis before?
[14:12] <jhutchins> jq-: I don't think so, but I've been at this a while.
[14:12] <odisa|PC> eeee: I also have a USB SATA docking station.. would that make it any easier getting the partition right?
[14:12] <yeahman> do u know how to change the font colour in awesome WM ?
[14:12] <odisa|PC> eeee: with a GUI, either via GParted from a live CD or via Disk Mgmt
[14:13] <odisa|PC> live USB*
[14:13] <jhutchins> !awesome
[14:14] <Paddy_NI> Does anyone know why I have a white background on "hangouts" http://i.imgur.com/7LFPUeR.png
[14:15] <Paddy_NI> I suspect chrome is not picking up hardware acceleration or something
[14:15] <eeee> odisa|PC: try to make a MBR partition table in diskpart, and let the windows installer partition as it sees fit.
[14:15] <odisa|PC> eeee: alright, I'll try that first
[14:22] <streulma> I have a Canon network scanner MG, but the Scangear MP preview on 14.04 is gray
[14:24] <diffis> Hi there! Could someone please tell me briefly, what are the differencies between 1) sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-session 2) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop 3) sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback 4) sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[14:24] <compdoc> seems like just variations of the same thing
[14:25] <compdoc> gnome-session-fallback was a 2d version, which doesnt seem to wrok anymore
[14:25] <cfhowlett> !gnome
[14:26] <diffis> ... That's sad. I like 2D more than 3D...
[14:28] <OldSam> hi
[14:29] <mojtaba> Hi, unfortunately I must install Windows on one of my partitions, and I think it will overwrite Grub. Do you know what should I do to install it?
[14:31] <cfhowlett> mojtaba, it WILL overwrite grub.  make an ubuntu USB.  install windows.  boot USB.  reinstall grub.
[14:31] <OldSam> mojtaba: you can just do a "normal" win-install on a free partition (not formatting whole hd or something of course), afterwards boot with a linux rescue cd or so and reinstall grub
[14:31] <mojtaba> cfhowlett: How should I install grub, I have not done that before.
[14:31] <cfhowlett> !grub2 | mojtaba
[14:31] <mojtaba> cfhowlett: thanks
[14:32] <cfhowlett> mojtaba, happy2help
[14:36] <OldSam> I have an issue with my X11 (running on Ubuntu 14.04) atm using a HDMI-connected monitor: If I switch to another HDMI-channel of the monitor (not the PC) and then I switch back, the Monitor loses the graphics signals of the X-Server unfortunately... :-( however, this does not happen on the console, so it must be an issue of the X-Server/X-Graphics-Drivers or something... Any hints how I can find the solution and fix the issue?
[14:37] <OldSam> moreover what I found out so far is, that the effect only happens _after_ a login to the window manager (currently XFCE), as long as I stay at the display manager login (currently KDM) the signal stays stable after switching hdmi channels...
[14:38] <audreeliss> Hello, I have Xubuntu 14.04.1. When you turn on the pc, NTFS partition, it is inactive. How do you turn the computer it will always be active?
[14:39] <cfhowlett> audreeliss, that's for your protection.  override only if you have a VERY good reason ...
[14:39] <intrin> i am running ubuntu in a vm, and i made my drive to small, so i made it bigger. whats the easiest way to increase my partition size to the new drive size?
[14:40] <audreeliss> To seeding torrents, need to be checked again, and then allows it to bypass?
[14:43] <trndr> audreeliss: this should help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[14:43] <cfhowlett> audreeliss, mounting the windows partition requires root level permission because it is so easy to delete/scramble the windows partition.  and if break windows while in ubuntu, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to reinstall.  safer to mount the partition only as needed.  takes ...what?  10 seconds?
[14:44] <audreeliss> ow that everything is clear. Thanks for the help. ,)
[14:44] <cfhowlett> trndr, good find.  audreeliss: see "General Considerations"
[14:52] <Rudj> hi guys please i need help restoring boot, i had a power shortage and now i can't boot from the hdd with linux on
[14:52] <Rudj> the hd is fine as the ntfs partition can be read in windows
[14:53] <Rudj> but i can't boot ubuntu and anything related to sdb1 (the mountpoint for ubuntu) just hangs in the debug menu.
[14:53] <Rudj> any suggestions greatly appreciated
[14:54] <odisa> eeee|BNC: creating an MBR partition didn't help either alas..
[15:01] <intrin> i am running ubuntu in a vm, and i made my drive to small, so i made it bigger. whats the easiest way to increase my partition size to the new drive size?
[15:02] <jere__> What is the difference between kmod and insmod?
[15:16] <jhutchins> jere__: You might start with the manpages.
[15:17] <jhutchins> intrin: parted (from a live iso) or resize2fs.

[15:44] <d0x> Hi, i like to send my pc to a friend and access it with ssh at any time. I thought about using a cron triggered reverse ssh tunnel to a server of mine. Are there other ideas how to bypass the NAT?
[15:48] <rickyrayjay> looking for a bit of help, i recently picked up a lower end but ok Asus laptop. boot is UEFI and has legacy available. my issue is that there is only "Boot Option #1" available, so im unable  to choose usb to boot from. trying to try ubuntu 14.04 live and if i like, i may dual boot. how do i add a "Boot Option #2" please?
[15:48] <rickyrayjay> running windows 8.1
[15:49] <cfhowlett> rickyrayjay, your device either does/doesn't support USB.  try a different usb stick and port
[15:49] <kiznkitten> no option to boot from USB in bios or change boot order in bios?
[15:49] <cfhowlett> kiznkitten, good question.
[15:50] <cfhowlett> rickyrayjay, if no usb is detected, the *temporary* boot options will not show USB options.  you can force it to boot USB from the boot setup options.
[15:51] <rickyrayjay> well, im not sure if im seeing it wrong possibly, but there is only one option to boot from currently. and it is taken by the windows OS. there is an option to "creat another boot option", but then it asks for which drive path to use, and that can differ depending on what drive letter is designated to a USB drive. or am i understanding that wrong?
[15:52] <rickyrayjay> im just unfamiliar with UEFI and been trying to youtube on it, but having a difficult time
[15:52] <farbod> hi David are you there?
[15:52] <kiznkitten> are you in bios?
[15:53] <kiznkitten> ricky are you in BIOS?
[15:53] <rickyrayjay> not currently. im on the pc. just thought i might ask a few questions here and give it a whirl after
[15:53] <kiznkitten> Windows won't help you for what you wan tto do.
[15:54] <kiznkitten> OK when you machine boots up chose "setuyp" in setup you can change things like boot order.
[15:54] <kiznkitten> *setup
[15:55] <rickyrayjay> i do understand that part. but theres only one "Boot Option #1", and no others in the list
[15:55] <rickyrayjay> even when i have the flashdrive plugged in
[15:55] <kiznkitten> Your hardware profile is stricktly a windows option--windows won't help you
[15:56] <kiznkitten> don't chose boot option. chose setup. should be two different options
[15:57] <kiznkitten> in setup yo will have a section for your devices that can be altered. You may have a boot order menu or somthing  similar
[15:57] <rickyrayjay> ok, i will have give it a shot again. i miss the 'ol standard bios and windows 7... :) thanks for the help
[15:58] <kiznkitten> ok good luck
[15:59] <john_doe_jr> is there a good gui program to manage iptables?
[16:00] <Nosphar> i installed the wordpress-theme-twentyfourteen and the site has no styles at all. whats wrong?
[16:00] <thewisenerd> how to output to screen as well as pipe it to a program in bash?
[16:01] <dreamcat4> hi, i'm having a problem running fsck from 14.04 USB key
[16:02] <acovrig> is if possible to pipe data into GNU Screen? And if so, how?
[16:02] <dreamcat4> HDD light stops and then lots of numbers start scrolling across the screen
[16:02] <dreamcat4> (they look like inode numbers)
[16:04] <farbod> hi David are you there?
[16:05] <dreamcat4> so this means i can't run fsck to clean up my partition without fsck itself crashing / dying ... any ideas?

[16:15] <OerHeks> Alina-malina ?
[16:15] <Alina-malina> yes
[16:15] <Alina-malina> erm
[16:16] <Kartagis> np chachan
[16:16] <Alina-malina> i am looking for  this locachion local\apache\bin
[16:16] <Alina-malina> but i cant find it on ubuntu
[16:16] <Alina-malina> my files should b there :-/
[16:17] <Pogolauncher> Hey ubuntu people. I have this oldish laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) and I have installed Ubuntu. How would you reccommend I get the most out of this laptop. I have a PC so this is just something on the side.
[16:18] <odisa> Pogolauncher: install a different desktop environment
[16:18] <Pogolauncher> How so?
[16:19] <odisa> Pogolauncher: reduces resource consumption, going from Unity to LXDE worked pretty well for the netbook I'm using now
[16:19] <Pogolauncher> Ah. Thanks. Ill try it out.
[16:19] <odisa> went from unusable to functional
[16:19] <odisa> Pogolauncher: cheers
[16:19] <netlar> why isn't gnucash in main repository but in universe
[16:20] <k1l_> Pogolauncher: try Lubuntu
[16:20] <k1l_> !lubuntu | Pogolauncher
[16:20] <jeremy31> Alina-malina: my apache files(html) are in /var/www
[16:20] <Pogolauncher> Id like the lightweight features but I do like the style of the Ubuntu desktop as it is, anyway to just get the style of unity?
[16:21] <odisa> eeee: well.. removing my 12.04 drive did the trick.. any idea how that could've interfered?
[16:21] <Alina-malina> jeremy31, no my apache files are not there :-/
[16:21] <OerHeks> netlar as it is not officially supported software https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[16:22] <Alina-malina> how to make an apropriate search on all server *.txt files?
[16:22] <netlar> OerHeks: I know this is stupid to ask, but why is it not in the officially supported repository
[16:22] <odisa> Pogolauncher: Unity is relatively intensive.. if you don't like LXDE, there are several other light(er) DEs that might suit your taste
[16:22] <OerHeks> netlar, see the url
[16:23] <netlar> ok
[16:23] <Pogolauncher> Care to give any other suggestions? :) thanks.
[16:24] <odisa> Pogolauncher: XFCE, iirc, is another lightweight one. then there's Gnome and KDE.. not sure how those compare in terms of performance
[16:24] <odisa> Pogolauncher: if it's really bad, you might want to consider using another distro
[16:25] <jeremy31> Alina-malina: using the file manager graphical interface will work and you don't have to worry about running too many lines in terminal
[16:25] <Alina-malina> jeremy31, i am on server :-/
[16:25] <Pogolauncher> Well, the speed isn't too much of an issue, obviously i'd like to have a faster laptop but considering I don't use it too often, it doesn't bother me.
[16:25] <eeee> odisa: maybe the windows installer was reading it or something.
[16:25] <cariveri> Hi. Im looking for a class diagram tool in ubuntu. does anyone know some?
[16:25] <dreamcat4> can i repair my grub.cfg from ubuntu live usb ? it seems to be broken somehow
[16:25] <dreamcat4> error: something wrong with extent
[16:26] <shaddowed> you can chroot
[16:26] <odisa> eeee: I suppose.. still strange
[16:26] <Pogolauncher> Anyway, thanks for the suggestions :P One more unrelated question, im sort of new to IRC as well as Linux, how would one mention another like you did with me?
[16:27] <BIllytHe1> Ohhhhh yeahhhhh
[16:27] <guite> hi all, is there a way to make an old Quickcam zoom work on ubuntu 14.04. So far, cheese and firefox plugins cannot use it, I bet that it is both for the same reason…
[16:27] <BIllytHe1> Yes
[16:28] <BIllytHe1> I know how to do it
[16:28] <jeremy31> Alina-malina: man find in terminal should give you some ideas
[16:28] <odisa> Pogolauncher: just type the first few letters of a name, press tab, and it'll finish it for you.. similar to cmds in the terminal
[16:28] <BIllytHe1> Only youuuuu
[16:29] <bazhang> !ot | BIllytHe1
[16:29] <Pogolauncher> odisa: < Like so, hopefully that worked. Thanks.
[16:29] <BIllytHe1> okay sorry
[16:29] <odisa> yep Pogolauncher, that's correct. manually typing also works. cheers.
[16:30] <Pogolauncher> Oh, I see. You just mention the name and it pings me. Good good. Thanks for the help.
[16:30] <huttan> Alina-malina: find / -iname *.txt
[16:30] <Alina-malina> yes hutt
[16:30] <mall> HElloooou... xubunters :) I made some xubuntu stickers for download and print and play , find them here: http:/jaumeferrete.net/linuxlogos
[16:30] <Alina-malina> thanks huttan
[16:31] <odisa> Pogolauncher: Yep, that's basically it. No problem, hope you find a DE that suits your needs. You're welcome :)
[16:31] <mall> I know that if you buy them online the xubuntu project gets some extra stickers, which is great and a good option, but printing your own is also nice; I included several colors and also logos for crunchbang and kali linux, very offtopic, jaja, url again http://jaumeferrete.net/linuxlogos
[16:32] <trndr> guite: could you give us the ID of the camera supplied by "lsusb"

[16:34] <dbear> can anyone recommend any troubleshooting techniques for ubuntu when the kernel load process sometimes fails to complete? I have a lenovo w520 that about half the time hangs during the kernel loading phase -- prior to any init scripts executing.

[16:36] <dreamcat4> hmm. looks like i may need yannubuntu/boot-repair (to reinstall grub)
[16:37] <dreamcat4> if on 14.10 s/trusty/??? in apt-get sources
[16:37] <ObrienDave> can be done from terminal. don't know the command
[16:37] <dreamcat4> utopic ?
[16:38] <ObrienDave> you should be in #ubuntu+1 for utopic
[16:38] <DJones> dreamcat4: Probably best jpiing #ubuntu+1 and making sure there, 14.10 is stil in devolpment, so websites may ot be the best thing to follow

[16:42] <dreamcat4> ah right - it's my apt sources the /utopic/ part isn't right or something
[16:42] <DJones> dreamcat4: Don't be surprised at error messages for 14.10
[16:43] <OerHeks> both, looks like a steam/TF2 issue, not ubuntu as other games do work
[16:43] <DJones> dreamcat4: Its stil in development, so its expected. support is in #ubuntu+1
[16:43] <dreamcat4> i guess my live usb key is still 14.04 (just trying to repair a 14.04 -> 14.10 upgraded)
[16:44] <DJones> dreamcat4: Please join #ubuntu+ for problems with 14.10

[16:44] <shaddowed> DJones Bugs are expected? lmao
[16:45] <dreamcat4> my mistake i misread the instructions and put the wrong ubuntu release in the apt-sources/ config file
[16:45] <dreamcat4> it had nothing to do with the ubuntu version i'm actually on...
[16:45] <OerHeks> dreamcat4, as there is no Utopic version of bootrepair, use the bootrepair iso?
[16:46] <trndr> guite: could you pastebin "dmesg | grep pwc"
[16:46] <dreamcat4> well it's installed now so i'm fine

[16:50] <ObrienDave> bye
[16:51] <trndr> guite: as far as I can see you are experiencing an old bug where the module doesen't get properly unloaded, and cant be used if that happens
[16:52] <Martusia> i can log to guest but if i choose mine account nothing happens and from guest i cant access my files
[16:52] <guite> trndr: which module ? can I unload/reload it myself ?
[16:52] <Anuska> Hello
[16:52] <guite> trndr: like modprobe -r pwc
[16:52] <trndr> guite: run sudo modprobe-r pwc if you disconnect the webcam and want to reconnect it
[16:52] <guite> ok
[16:53] <guite> trndr: in fact, I think I can get the video
[16:53] <guite> but the sound is not ther…
[16:53] <guite> :/
[16:55] <guite> is there a tool in ubuntu 14.04 to record sound
[16:55] <guite> I can’t find gnome-sound-recorder
[16:55] <guite> even with apt-get
[16:56] <OerHeks> lots of tools, audacious
[16:56] <guite> OerHeks: yes, but I was talking about the default unity tool for recording sound
[16:57] <guite> OerHeks: audacious is fine, thanks :)
[16:57] <bazhang> !info audacity
[16:58] <bazhang> audacious is a player, not dissimilar to winamp
[16:58] <OerHeks> oops, audacity, not audacious ( i am hungry and go for a snack now)
[16:59] <guite> errrr…

[17:02] <luzifer9999> Hello everybody! I need to know how I can grep the beginning and end with one command?
[17:03] <luzifer9999> I want to know all tools in /usr/bin/ with beginning "c" and ending "s"
[17:04] <geirha> luzifer9999: /usr/bin/c*s
[17:05] <geirha> grep should not be used on filenames
[17:06] <geirha> luzifer9999: that's a shell glob you can pass to ls for instance;  ls /usr/bin/c*s
[17:06] <luzifer9999> geirha, how can I use this with grep? My try "ls /usr/bin/ | grep ^[cl]*s$"
[17:06] <luzifer9999> It is important to do this with grep it
[17:06] <geirha> luzifer9999: as I said, don't use grep on filenames. grep is used to select lines.
[17:06] <dreamcat4> how to mount /dev ?
[17:06] <geirha> luzifer9999: ls /usr/bin/[cl]*s
[17:08] <luzifer9999> geirha,  ok but what could I do if I want to know how it works with grep on files where the beginning is specific and the ends too?
[17:08] <geirha> dreamcat4: it should already be mounted ... or are you thinking of mounting it in a chroot or something?
[17:08] <luzifer9999> geirha, files means textfiles
[17:08] <dreamcat4> geirha: yeah, i chroot from usb key to revcoer grub
[17:09] <dreamcat4> in the chroot /dev isn't mounted, must mount manually
[17:09] <geirha> luzifer9999: to select *lines* that start with c or l, and end with s, it's grep '^[cl].*s$'
[17:09] <geirha> dreamcat4: sudo mount --bind /dev /the/chroot/dev
[17:09] <acer> ???
[17:09] <dreamcat4> geirha: i'll try it and see
[17:10] <geirha> dreamcat4: basically says: "mount this over here too"
[17:12] <luzifer9999> geirha, thank you. And now last question why should I do not use grep for filenames?
[17:13] <geirha> dreamcat4: Firstly because it's pointless, shell globs are already better at it, and second, grep works on lines, not filenames. filenames can contain lines themselves.
[17:13] <geirha> luzifer9999: err that last message was for you, not dreamcat4 ^
[17:14] <luzifer9999> geirha, ok I saw that. THX
[17:14] <jere__> i have a module foo.ko, i run depmod -a in the same directory, but I find nothing against it in modules.dep

[17:30] <dreamcat4> it seems easier to just reinstall utopic from scratch... ubuntu's recommended boot-repair tool just doesn't seem up to the job
[17:30] <dreamcat4> and such tool should be included  already in the ISO img (but unfortunately it isn't)
[17:31] <ObrienDave> dreamcat4, no, it comes from a PPA. not officially supported
[17:32] <ObrienDave> and as such, if it borks your system, don't come here for help
[17:32] <dreamcat4> yeah i know. i'm saying it would help a lot if there was an officially supported tool already on the ISO
[17:33] <dreamcat4> just to re-install grub / re-scan the partitions for boot drives
[17:33] <DJones> dreamcat4: You've been pointed to #ubuntu+1 for supprt with unrealeased and stillin development versions of Ubuntu
[17:33] <DJones> Please join that channel for support
[17:33] <dreamcat4> DJones: ok then
[17:36] <dreamcat4> DJones: perhaps the same suggestion is still relevant for 14.04 anyway since that happens to be an LTS release
[17:51] <griffin_> hello

[18:04] <fghfh> hello ubuntu users
[18:05] <fghfh> not realy a alot of conversation around here a ?
[18:05] <ObrienDave> do you have a support question?
[18:06] <bprompt> fghfh:    maybe not at the moment, bear in mind the channel topic though
[18:06] <k1l_> fghfh: you can take a look into the social channel #ubuntu-offtopic . we try to keep this channel clear for technical support, and if ther is non that is a good sign :)
[18:06] <k1l_> erm well, no technical issues is a good sign. no support would be a bad sign :)
[18:07] <fghfh> ohh thx for info guys didn t know
[18:07] <ObrienDave> that's what we do best. inform the uninformed ;P
[18:11] <facepalm> Not really having any issues but after checking .xsession-errors and looking around... Well anywho does any of this look important? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8540912/
[18:11] <sixequalszero> I keep programs in fullscreen however when switching workspace the title/menu bar shows; how do I stop this?
[18:28] <red__> hey folks, I've upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04, however when I boot with the 3.13 kernel, networking is not working, screen res is 640, if I boot with kernel version 3.11 it all looks fine
[18:34] <fghfh> hey i got a qiestion
[18:34] <daftykins> ask it
[18:34] <fghfh> sry for my bad english but i hope you understand me
[18:34] <ztane> hi, is there a way to migrate an *existing* (lvm) partition to md raid1 without copying all 1.5TB of data around?
[18:35] <ztane> so i'd want to move the entire pv to mdX that would contain the original pv disk...
[18:35] <daftykins> ztane: backup no matter what you do, 1.5TB is nothing these days
[18:35] <Hulio> can anyone show me how to install ubuntu along side with windows 8.1?
[18:36] <ObrienDave> !uefi | Hulio
[18:36] <fghfh> why after updating ubuntu 12.04 i got a "sleel" problem in ubuntu my pc goes slow freezes when i type it all gows verry slow and the screen flikers
[18:36] <fghfh> sleep*
[18:38] <fghfh> practically i can't use the sleep comand and its verry frustrating to restart the os all over again
[18:38] <sixequalszero> Can I do anything while software updater is updating
[18:39] <ztane> daftykins: ah nvm, I guess I will do it the "slow" way to make the system faster (striped layout)
[18:39] <m3n3chm0> sixequalszero sure
[18:39] <daftykins> ztane: err if you care about this data you shouldn't be using the equivalent of RAID 0...?
[18:40] <sixequalszero> I want to install things but resources are locked
[18:40] <user__> Hi everyone
[18:40] <fghfh> hi user__
[18:40] <m3n3chm0> sixequalszero you said anything... but the point is anything except isntall :)
[18:40] <c4rt3r84> are you root or sudo sixequalszero
[18:40] <m3n3chm0> jaja
[18:41] <user__> I've got a little issue on my laptop. when i clic on shutdown button in the menu, all the programs start beign unresponsive and it takes like 1 minute to give me the shutdown menu (restart, shutdown, logout)
[18:41] <sixequalszero> c4rt3r84: I'm gunna say sudo
[18:41] <user__> is there anyone that had the the same issue and solve it?
[18:42] <fghfh> user_ what os you have?
[18:42] <ztane> daftykins: striped raid 1 = 1+0 (or was it 0+1)
[18:42] <user__> i've got an xubuntu
[18:42] <user__> the lastest version
[18:42] <xubuntuewad> hi. is there any way to make flux work in xubuntu 14.04
[18:42] <daftykins> ztane: good stuff
[18:42] <fghfh> abd how about the sleep comand works?
[18:43] <ztane> daftykins: the naming's so confusing, linux can do the striping on 2 devices and no one knows what really to call it.
[18:43] <user__> fghfh, what command?
[18:43] <sixequalszero> How do I uninstall things?
[18:43] <fghfh> sleep like the stand by
[18:43] <user__> fghfh, if i go from terminal like shutdown -r now ir restarts imediatly
[18:43] <daftykins> ztane: 1+0 on 2 disks? nah that must be a mistake
[18:44] <c4rt3r84> user__: why not type "reboot"
[18:44] <user__> fghfh, idk, need to test. its just close the laptop lid right?
[18:44] <fghfh> he whats to shot dows but i guess it freezes
[18:44] <fghfh> well not allways work
[18:44] <user__> let me see
[18:44] <user__> 1 min
[18:45] <fghfh> just click on the menu insteed
[18:45] <fghfh> ok
[18:45] <user__> yes it works
[18:45] <ztane> daftykins: no its not, I have done it on many servers
[18:45] <sixequalszero> How do I stop the menu bar from showing everytime I switch workspace?
[18:46] <OerHeks> xubuntuewad, i would try redshift > http://askubuntu.com/questions/493507/flux-for-ubuntu-14-04-possible
[18:46] <user__> fghfh, humm, why i still got wifi internet after the sleep mode?
[18:46] <fghfh> user__ i asked you because i have a eal problem with that and the shot down word for me
[18:46] <user__> the irc not even shutdown
[18:46] <fghfh> because it resumes
[18:46] <daftykins> ztane: sounds terrible :)
[18:47] <fghfh> where it left off
[18:47] <user__> oh cool
[18:47] <user__> fghfh, what you thin i should do?
[18:47] <fghfh> my cable connection seems to close but when i resime it connects again
[18:47] <fghfh> well user__
[18:47] <fghfh> when you start
[18:47] <fghfh> having this problem?
[18:48] <ztane> daftykins: it is faster for reads than raid 1 (theoretically), sucks for writes.
[18:48] <user__> yes, i've installed yesterday. this is a brand new laptop
[18:48] <user__> ive get rid of w**** 8
[18:48] <user__> and installed imediatly the xubuntu :D
[18:48] <daftykins> ztane: the only way i can think of that functioning is if it splits each disk into halves and then treats all 4 halves as separate disks
[18:49] <fghfh> well if you have the problem for the begining i think its a compatibility bug from the os and the system
[18:49] <fghfh> my sleep work but after the update goes crazy
[18:49] <ztane> daftykins: it does (that is the "far layout")
[18:49] <daftykins> ztane: yeah that's a mistake :(
[18:50] <user__> fghfh, yeh, need to see
[18:50] <user__> fghfh, thanks anyway mate
[18:50] <ztane> daftykins: depends on definition of a mistake, well a degraded array with that setup will suck
[18:51] <fghfh> user__ what can i say :))
[18:56] <ztane> daftykins: ah someone had made a benchmark (alas now I am in console only)
[18:57] <ztane> raid10,f2 loses to raid 0 only on sequential write speed
[18:58] <ztane> twice as fast reads as on raid 1
[18:58] <fghfh> user__ no problem sry can't help you
[19:04] <dreamcat4> is 30GB enough space for an ubuntu partition if i keep my data on another drive?
[19:05] <eeee> dreamcat4: yes.
[19:05] <ztane> how did I re-setup grub?
[19:06] <ztane> my harddisk failed
[19:06] <ztane> I managed to copy the boot partition
[19:06] <ztane> and 14.04
[19:06] <bprompt> dreamcat4:     basic install is around 6gbs for 14.4
[19:07] <eeee> ztane: do you have a live usb?
[19:07] <ztane> now I have booted computer ;)
[19:07] <ztane> but the broken harddisk is now as sda, so I guess grub will guess drive numbers wrong?
[19:08] <eeee> sorry i dont understand
[19:08] <ztane> I have console only now, so it is really hard to browse internuts...
[19:09] <eeee> lol
[19:09] <ztane> I have the system running, how do I install grub :d
[19:09] <ztane> this is a brand new disk, but when I shut the computer down I bet the hdd with old boot will die :P
[19:09] <eeee> grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx
[19:10] <eeee> type sudo parted -l , and get the correct disk which has your installation, and/or where you want to put grub
[19:10] <eeee> replace /dev/sdx with the disk you want
[19:11] <ztane> seems to take forever, grub seems to probe my broken disk too
[19:11] <ztane> ah and ofc I have a gpt disk with bios computer blah,
[19:12] <ztane> I guess easier to just put this on a mbr disk :P
[19:12] <eeee> i think you need a 1mb bios-boot partition for gpt + bios
[19:13] <Anuska> Hi, i want to add widget on ubuntu, how i do?
[19:14] <eeee> ztane: did it work?
[19:14] <kia> hello
[19:15] <eeee> Anuska: no idea, but you might find conky useful
[19:15] <eeee> !info conky-all
[19:15] <ztane> eeee: I have an entry for the boot partition in "MBR" too, but grub does not think so and complains about GPT partition and blocklists and ext2 etc pfft.
[19:15] <Anuska> let me see
[19:16] <kia> what are some cool things to try out with ubuntu?
[19:16] <ztane> I guess I am just stupid for trying this
[19:17] <eeee> ztane: do you have a bios-boot partition ?
[19:17] <eeee> ( it's not the /boot )
[19:17] <ztane> eeee: nope
[19:17] <eeee> you need that
[19:17] <ztane> how do I do that?
[19:18] <eeee> enter cgdisk
[19:19] <ztane> ef02 partition?
[19:19] <Gerowen> Does DVD95 have an option to copy "all" of the video titles, or does it only convert the one that you select?
[19:20] <eeee> yes
[19:20] <jq-> So I accidently just deleted my /usr/share/php5 dir, how can I get it back?
[19:21] <ztane> eeee: haha, 2m was not big enough
[19:21] <eeee> Anuska: there are already made scripts online on forums btw
[19:21] <eeee> ztane: O.o
[19:21] <ztane> ah sorry :P
[19:21] <ztane> I wrote 2m so grub thought it was 11 sectors :D:D
[19:22] <eeee> oh
[19:22] <ztane> *gfdisk
[19:22] <eeee> hehe
[19:22] <ztane> *gdisk
[19:22] <ztane> *22 sectors
[19:24] <ztane> eeee: thanks, installation finished without error reported...

[19:25] <dae> ?
[19:25] <shane__> Hello
[19:25] <shane__> I am getting the following error in my syslog. Is it something to worry about?
[19:25] <shane__> [Firmware Bug]: battery: (dis)charge rate invalid.
[19:26] <xangua> !14.10 | dae that neither one are currently supported here
[19:26] <eeee> dae: i'm not sure, i think ubuntu desktop next uses unity 8 or something like that
[19:26] <xangua> ubuntu uses unity, ubuntu gnome uses gnome shell, both use gnome desktop
[19:27] <eeee> xangua: he's asking about the ubuntu desktop next
[19:27] <ztane> shane__: prolly means that your battery tries to make your computer believe it takes 100 yrs to empty or
[19:27] <squinty> !testdisk > squinty
[19:27] <ztane> shane__: your battery generates energy from virtual particles :D
[19:28] <ztane> shane__: how I'd think is that can't trust the battery indicator...
[19:28] <shane__> Thanks...although the applet does show that the battery discharging at the expected rate
[19:28] <shane__> Is that something to worry about though?
[19:31] <dae> thanks you xangua , ubottu and eeee

[19:57] <Boingo> I have a Promise NS4300N.  A pretty old unit.  As fas as I can tell, the 4 drives that make up the RAID are fine and working correctly.  I think the power supply has failed.  I really don't like the unit anymore and would love to take the drives out and put them into my desktop computer.  I would like to get the data off the drives intact though.  So... I need to move 4 drives in a RAID 5 set to a new computer.  Any tips or suggestions
[19:57] <Boingo> would be great.
[19:58] <erle-> is there any clean way to adapt mozilla firefox and thunderbird to high resolution displays (200 ppi and more)
[19:58] <daftykins> Boingo: each RAID implementation can be proprietary, you'll need to do some research as to whether you can actually use any Linux based configurations to manage what the Promise controller created.
[19:58] <Boingo> daftykins: Yeah, I have been googling for a while.  Havent found anything yet.  That is why I was asking in here.
[19:59] <daftykins> Boingo: you'd probably be better off with #ubuntu-server , #linux , or more
[19:59] <Boingo> #linux us in some osrt of flame war with a troll.
[20:00] <Boingo> I step into what feels like a flaming bag of poop on my doorstep.
[20:00] <Boingo> Not much help there.
[20:00] <Boingo> I will try #ubunut-server thanks.

[20:02] <Kb50> Hello everyone.
[20:02] <sixequalszero> Hello Kb50
[20:03] <Finetundra> another1, how would i do that?
[20:03] <sixequalszero> So apparently update is installing sudoku
[20:03] <Finetundra> gotta reboot
[20:04] <Kb50> I am seeking out Zorin but the channel appears to be pretty much dead. As in nobody there. I am looking at 2 small issues. One is how to enlarge and change the mouse pointer, the other is related to probably something else hardware wise.
[20:04] <another1> Finetundra:  right click, properties, look at the line titled command
[20:04] <Kb50> Perhaps I should grab the channel list and seek out a IRC for Zorin instead.
[20:05] <another1> Finetundra: the path noted there you can type into console also
[20:05] <bubbasaures> Kb50, Just ubuntu here, you migh consider installing it, bigger support and all that zorin has or wants to be. ;)
[20:05] <OerHeks> it is #ZorinOS
[20:06] <OerHeks> we don't support derivates, as they have their own issues
[20:06] <Kb50> Yeah fell in love with Zorin, so I plan to stick with it for now. Perhaps it is the eye candy. Everything about it is perfect other than finding support.
[20:07] <LinxCat> xan: i just want the desktopHey guys. I had a win8 laptop, over which installed Ubuntu 14.04. During installation i erased all existing partitions and created new ones.

[20:07] <Finetundra> i'm back

[20:08] <another1> hi james!
[20:08] <Finetundra> hello, another1
[20:09] <another1> Finetundra: any progress?
[20:09] <metallic> Kb50, it is easy to do that if you're using the KDE
[20:09] <Finetundra> lets check
[20:09] <metallic> if you're using unity...
[20:10] <metallic> it can be done, but there are less things that you can configure using the GUI
[20:11] <squinty> LinxCat:  you may need to see the following to determine if any of the information applies to your system  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

[20:15] <netlar> Does Ubuntu Unity need to reindexed to find files recently added?
[20:15] <acerspyro> Two questions: 1. What repo do I need to add to get Blender 2.7? 2. why did GRUB and Plymouth suddently stop offering graphical display, and now only does text mode?
[20:16] <kostkon> Kb50, echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
[20:17] <acerspyro> oh, I guess I need the current release instead of LTS?
[20:17] <Kb50> zoring desktop: unity
[20:17] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, 3rd party repos are your matter, Did you add a graphic driver?
[20:17] <another1> Finetundra: you have to start it with java.      java -jar minecraft.jar
[20:18] <acerspyro> bubbasaures: It installed with the OS, and I checked, it is the correct nvidida driver.
[20:18] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, 14.04 is the latest release.
[20:18] <acerspyro> bubbasaures: I see 15.10 here
[20:18] <OerHeks> acdf
[20:18] <Finetundra> another1, copied from the terminal:   java -jar minecraft.jar
[20:18] <Finetundra> Error: Unable to access jarfile minecraft.jar
[20:18] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, Never messed with nvdia, but that is your culprit most likely on a text boot.
[20:19] <daftykins> acerspyro: it's not 2015 yet
[20:19] <OerHeks> acerspyro, utopic 14.10 will have 2.7, relese in 2 weeks
[20:19] <acerspyro> bubbasaures: It was working on SUSE but not on Arch...
[20:19] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, 14.10? that is the development, not released, and covered on #ubuntu+1
[20:19] <another1> Finetundra: you are in the right directory? path?
[20:19] <acerspyro> oh
[20:19] <Finetundra> oh
[20:19] <acerspyro> wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[20:20] <acerspyro> Thought 15.10 was released, but it was a prediction
[20:20] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, Your comparing OS and whether you see a splash?
[20:20] <acerspyro> So latest is LTS?
[20:20] <Finetundra> another1, not really sure how to do that
[20:20] <acerspyro> bubbasaures: I tried a lot of OSes. And on Arch, people told me that Plymouth didn't work with nvidida.
[20:20] <acerspyro> but it always worked on openSUSE with the same card.
[20:21] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, this is ubuntu support other OS are not even relevant different setuos.
[20:21] <bubbasaures> setups*
[20:21] <another1> Finetundra: you change to a directory with command cd
[20:21] <pauljw> Kb50, look for unity tweak tool in the software center.  that gives you access to more features to tweak including themes and cursors
[20:22] <acerspyro> bubbasaures: Stop being retarded, it's the same software with a different set-up, package manager, kernel tweaks and some add-ons.
[20:22] <Kb50> Did you try grub customizer to change the background? Or well most have no joy but I have Burg working on my Linux Mint on my laptop. I dont think it is graphic card specific, as it is only in 640X480 resolution most of the time.
[20:22] <SchrodingersScat> !language | acerspyro
[20:22] <acerspyro> What did I say again?
[20:23] <Finetundra> another1, how do i determine the directory?
[20:23] <scx> Finetundra: pwd?
[20:23] <bubbasaures> acerspyro, If you want help be respectful, your rhetoric is empty and means nothing, you are just generalizing, and welcome to ignore.
[20:23] <acerspyro> ty
[20:23] <Finetundra> scx, what?
[20:23] <acerspyro> I'll get help in #arch, they don't care, I can go off-topic whenever I want :D
[20:24] <kostkon> good
[20:24] <Kb50> pauljw: ok I will go look for that thanks! Didnt even know one existed! Cool.

[20:24] <another1> Finetundra: well, it is noted in the propertiers of the icon to the app (right click/properties)
[20:25] <Finetundra> another1, makes sense.
[20:25] <another1> Finetundra: there is a whole path to the binary or executable file you need
[20:26] <Finetundra> another1, of course. i'm still a bit tired. not thinking thongs through
[20:26] <Finetundra> *things
[20:26] <another1> Finetundra: you can copy and paste the path, just type the cd in front of the line in terminal and switch to the path of the app
[20:28] <Finetundra> another1, no error. it also shows the same exact thing as the terminal in the launcher
[20:29] <another1> Finetundra: is there a file minecraft.jar in this path?

[20:32] <another1> Finetundra: if it is launched try to provocate the till the error appears

[20:44] <Finetundra> what's the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu other than default DE and programs
[20:45] <metallic> not any relevant I think, Finetundra
[20:45] <eidet> anybody here who want's to give a noob a tip?
[20:46] <bprompt> Finetundra:      yoiu said it... .that's all, the DE and apps
[20:46] <eidet> i have an intel NUC with an integrated 4GB mmc card.
[20:47] <eidet> when i use the ubuntu 14.04 minimal image to install the system... the mmc is not detected in the partitioner.
[20:47] <eidet> based on information on the intel website the linux distro must contain the mmc_block kernel module.
[20:47] <adam_> hi
[20:48] <adam_> NegativeFlare,  hi
[20:48] <eidet> now when i install the ubuntu 14.04 desktop variant... the installer detects the mmc drive.
[20:48] <eidet> so i guess i need to somehow add this mmc kernel module to the minimal variant.
[20:49] <eidet> but i'am not very good with linux... i know how to do basic stuff... can anybody help me... or at least explain to me what's needed?
[20:50] <eidet> the ubuntu desktop variant is too large for the 4 GB mmc i need more free space so i wanted to start based on the minimal installer.
[21:02] <streulma> problem is solved :) downloaded source code from Canon, changed some values in a .c file and do dpkg-buildpackage. Solved.
[21:11] <Pinkamena_D> I have noticed in the past months that on google chrome going to a downloaded item and clicking 'show in folder' opens the folder in nautilus in the [background but does not pop it up innediatly instead requiring a second click on the nautilus icon. Is this the intended bahavior?
[21:12] <SchrodingersScat> could check your focus behavior in settings, see if it has an option for you
[21:18] <Rory> Pinkamena_D: This is NOT the default behaviour. Check the settings of Focus and Raise Behaviour in CompizConfig Settings Manager > General > General Options. (You may need to install the "ccsm" package first)
[21:18] <Rory> Pinkamena_D: From http://askubuntu.com/questions/165908/unity-nautilus-folder-opens-in-background

[21:28] <Quatroking> I want it to stay on forever when plugged in.
[21:28] <ObrienDave> Quatroking, somewhere in power manager
[21:28] <s4my> Quatroking: check the power options in system settings
[21:28] <BenNZ> Quatroking: in power management settings there should be an option for 'On Ac'
[21:28] <Guest33431> click on the batter
[21:28] <Guest33431> then Power Settings...
[21:29] <Guest33431> it's right there

[21:35] <daftykins> hephaestusrg: i've heard of issues with the intel 7xxx series, i wouldn't get one if you're deciding to buy right now
[21:35] <daftykins> JCT: still in the wrong channel.
[21:35] <JCT> type: WXP 32  bit
[21:35] <JCT> i know
[21:35] <JCT> sry
[21:36] <daftykins> why did you paste it then?
[21:37] <hephaestusrg> oh man i just bought it daftykins
[21:37] <daftykins> :(
[21:37] <Quatroking> at least there are native linux drivers?
[21:37] <daftykins> things might have changed by now, but i kept hearing people say their connections dropped repeatedly
[21:37] <Quatroking> hipitihop, from what I understand about BT speakers is that all you have to do is pair it up like any other device
[21:37] <daftykins> anyway, you may have better luck
[21:37] <hephaestusrg> hmm i hope so
[21:38] <hephaestusrg> i'm trying to stretch my old eee pc 1000
[21:38] <Quatroking> hephaestusrg, is my link of any use to you
[21:38] <hephaestusrg> Quatroking: seems like it could be
[21:38] <Quatroking> :)
[21:38] <daftykins> you don't download drivers manually like in Windows land, so you shouldn't need to do anything really.
[21:38] <Quatroking> daftykins, that kind of changed since windows 7 actually
[21:39] <hipitihop> Quatroking, sure, what I'm trying to do though is setup my ubuntu box so that it is happy accept a stream from say an iphone or android and just play it over normal audio
[21:39] <Quatroking> a large amount of hardware has its drivers auto-downloaded by windows nowadays, especially gpu's and stuff like that
[21:39] <daftykins> Quatroking: sorry, disagree 100% - i predominantly use and administrate Windows for a living.
[21:39] <Quatroking> oh
[21:39] <daftykins> Quatroking: yes and they're all outdated. :) anyway, Windows is off topic.
[21:39] <Quatroking> but it always downloads my stuff :I
[21:40] <daftykins> yeah, no.
[21:40] <hephaestusrg> alright well i guess ill cross my fingers and hope it's good
[21:40] <Quatroking> hipitihop, so what you want to do is have your ubuntu machine act as a middle man between your speakers and your android/iphone?
[21:41] <hephaestusrg> yeah i see a tgz file on ther website
[21:41] <LinxCat> ould someone look at boot-repair log at paste.ubuntu.com/8541963 and tell me why i am getting a "kernel panic - not synching: no init found" error?
[21:41] <hephaestusrg> how would i actually install it thought http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034398.htm
[21:41] <hipitihop> Quatroking, not quite, just want ubuntu to accept a stream and play it ... the fact that I take adio out and plug it into my sound system is a btw.
[21:42] <hephaestusrg> or would it just work with apt-get update
[21:43] <Quatroking> hipitihop, that should be doable, I've done it before on my windows desktop so I don't see why ubuntu wouldn't be able to do it
[21:43] <hipitihop> Quatroking, I'm reading this at the moment, same requirements  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464189
[21:43] <Quatroking> it's really just sending audio to your machine and having it output to the machine speakers

[21:49] <ki7mt> In particular, I need to know if zenity is a default package install as I have a package postinst Debian script that requires it, and I really don't want to do a Pre-Depends if I can avoid it..

[21:52] <ki7mt> daftykins, Thanks, I knew there was an easy way, but had a brain block.
[21:53] <daftykins> ki7mt: no ideas how to do it without ubottu though ;)
[21:53] <Digipeng> bubbasaures: i pasted ifconfig
[21:53] <daftykins> apt-cache policy and showpkg showed nothing to me
[21:54] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: it boots into GRUB, then i hit enter to select Ubuntu and get "Kernel panic - not synching: no init found"
[21:54] <guntbert> daftykins: use  apt-cache show
[21:54] <LinxCat> "try passing init=option to kernel"
[21:54] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, Have you tried an earlier kernel?
[21:54] <LinxCat> no
[21:55] <ki7mt> daftykins, apt-caceh show zenity |grep Priority
[21:55] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: i only see one kernel version in grub
[21:55] <ki7mt> whoops apt-cache .. ..
[21:55] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, 2nd line in the grub menu is a folder where they are, try the top one. We just had a kernel upgrade, maybe it did not finish.
[21:56] <eeee> ki7mt: gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | grep "Package: zenity"
[21:56] <daftykins> ki7mt: ty :)
[21:56] <eeee> that'll tell you if it is installed in the ubuntu installation
[21:56] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: second line is memory test for me
[21:57] <ki7mt> eeee, Is that from a base  / new installation standpoint ?
[21:57] <eeee> it's installed here, and apt-cache policy confirms it, (unless it got pulled by something else)
[21:57] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: i am in grub command line
[21:57] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, There is a recovery line it has the earlier kernels
[21:58] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: i only see linux 3.13.0.32-generic and 3.13.0.32-generic (recovery mode) in advanced options
[21:58] <ki7mt> eeee, I have it as well, on Ubuntu Desktop, it's Xub && Lub that I'm concerned about. However, it does show up in the Tasks for all the desktop meta in apt-cache.
[21:58] <eeee> ki7mt: yes, it is.
[21:58] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, the grub menu has all the kernels installed available
[21:58] <droidbuster> i am stuck in grub rescue after swapping a disk drive out. not the bootable. but When i list the disks i have a (hd0) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,1) (hd2) (hd2,2) and nothing i do is able to list in depth the drives, partitions, tables. This PC is not accessable Via any means. It does not boot from a usbStick, nor have any CD, DVD besides a live other disk. And since this computer is the only one with a burner how the heck do i get
[21:58] <droidbuster>  detailed information on drives, partitions and tables, and set them accordingly
[21:58] <ki7mt> eeee, ok thanks.
[21:58] <eeee> ki7mt: i've confirmed it is installed, http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.manifest
[21:59] <eeee> it's in the manifest for 14.04.1
[21:59] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: so in my case there is only 1 version
[21:59] <ki7mt> eeee, That's where I was going first, but wa not sure if the manifest was the actual installed packages, or available.
[22:00] <ObrienDave> LinxCat, try doing a dist-upgrade
[22:00] <ki7mt> eeee, Anyways, thanks for turning the lights back on :-)
[22:00] <eeee> ki7mt: no problem
[22:00] <LinxCat> Obrien: from grub command prompt?
[22:01] <Digipeng> droidbuster: what was the reason for the swapout?
[22:01] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, grub command prompt like this grub>
[22:02] <LinxCat> that is there i am at
[22:02] <LinxCat> there=where
[22:02] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, You need the grub menu.
[22:03] <bubbasaures> would help anyway
[22:03] <droidbuster> Digipeng: To many computers, to many drives and i am, was stripping all the good parts, drives, power supplies so i can give the other pc's to a friend
[22:03] <LinxCat> omg you guys are killing me. i can get the grub menu and i can get to the grub command prompt.
[22:04] <gfgre> I have ubuntu 12.04 and when I ran apt-get install php5 it installed php 5.3, shouldn't it install 5.5?
[22:05] <eeee> !info php5 precise
[22:05] <eeee> gfgre: ^^^ nope
[22:05] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, Than your misunderstanding that the grub prompt is not important here got in your way, it seems this may be new to you is all. So you have only one kernel, this a new install, or have you removed kernels?
[22:05] <Digipeng> droidbuster: what was the setup before the drive was taken out?
[22:06] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, grub prompt here is generally an error is all.
[22:06] <droidbuster> Digipeng: Ubuntu 12.04 primary hd 1TB, 160HD Windows XP
[22:06] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: new install onto a laptop which had win8
[22:07] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, So ubuntu only?
[22:07] <Digipeng> droidbuster: the 160 gb hard drive the one that was removed?
[22:07] <droidbuster> Digipeng: now it is 4tb,1tb, 500gb. Gig
[22:07] <droidbuster> Digipeng: yes
[22:07] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: during installation, i went into the custom option and deleted all partitions and created two, one for root one for swap.
[22:07] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: yet
[22:08] <LinxCat> "yes"
[22:08] <tiberios> hey guys
[22:08] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, W8 brings the uefi gpt questions, are you familiar with these acronyms?
[22:08] <Digipeng> droidbuster: tell me about your system how old is it?
[22:09] <Basketball> !14.04
[22:09] <Basketball> !14.10
[22:09] <Basketball> is it ready yet
[22:09] <tiberios> I'm having an issue with the xserver -  until now I've been booting using the passing grub the text option as I don't normally need X running on the machine
[22:09] <droidbuster> Digipeng: Idk lol 1.8ghz athalon 4 gig ram...
[22:09] <Susning> If I'm on a laptop using Ubuntu 14.04 and battery drains - will the computer exit the system in some kind of "resume-mode" or state that is resumable after i start the computer again?
[22:09] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: yes. so in order to be able to first boot to my USB with buntu, i had to go into bios and change boot type of EUFI to legacy. Only then was i able to select/change boot source
[22:10] <droidbuster> msi k7n2 delta2
[22:10] <Susning> Is that an option? I've drained the battery a couple of times and from what I see the computer just turns of whichs doesnt seem very "good".
[22:10] <tiberios> I've recently tried booting to X again and I don't get a login screen, it just goes blank
[22:10] <tiberios> any suggestions?
[22:10] <Digipeng> bingo
[22:11] <eeee> Susning: if you remove the power off option, it will suspend, and eventually turn off
[22:11] <Susning> eeee how is that done?
[22:11] <brainproxy> this almost works: `cat some | tr '[:punct:]' ' '`
[22:11] <eeee> Susning: settings > power
[22:11] <ridethespiral> Can someone help me figure out why my display settings keep changing when using dual displays??
[22:12] <Susning> eeee thanks i'll look at that
[22:12] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, Cool it sounds in general like your aware of uefi bios and a gpt partition table. Did you check the original iso's md5sum, it may be just a bad download.
[22:12] <brainproxy> the thing is that I want to subtract the hyphen from the :punct: class
[22:12] <Digipeng> droidbuster: that computer doesn't support a 4tb hard disk drive
[22:12] <eeee> Susning: there's hibernate there, but it is grayed out for me.
[22:12] <Digipeng> droidbuster: as a boot drive that is
[22:12] <droidbuster> Digipeng: :/
[22:12] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: i can the ubuntu from that usb in "Try ubuntu without installation" mode and it seems to be working fine
[22:12] <droidbuster> 500 gb ? windows ?
[22:12] <gfgre> eeee sorry, I mean ubuntu 14.04!
[22:13] <eeee> !info php5
[22:13] <droidbuster> but the fact is grub is the issue here with the no such device BS...
[22:13] <eeee> gfgre: yes you should have php5.5
[22:14] <kubunto> how can i tell what ports are open?
[22:14] <kubunto> in my firewall
[22:15] <bubbasaures> LinxCat, It is just that live is not using all the download like the install would be, not a fair comparison. Could be a hard ware/computer issue or software, google might have something. This is variable and outliers to be honest, no easy answer, starting with a sum check is correct.
[22:16] <LinxCat> bubbasaures: should i try re-installing without the internet connected? this way it will only use what is on USB?
[22:16] <tiberios> anyone
[22:16] <bubbasaures> !md5sum | LinxCat
[22:17] <Susning> eeee "When power is critically low", 2 options where one is "Power off" and one is "Hibernate". There is nothing selected there atm, Hibernate is greyed out.
[22:17] <Digipeng> droidbuster: its built into your bios http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2754/~/hard-drives-greater-than-2-tb-do-not-work-on-existing-operating-systems
[22:18] <eeee> Susning: ok, same here. I have no experience with the power off option.
[22:18] <Susning> eeee just found article regarding activating hibernate.
[22:18] <droidbuster> Digipeng: ya i have to figure this out bc honestly with 6 hd's out here i can be sure the origional drives that was in there
[22:18] <eeee> Susning: nice
[22:19] <droidbuster> and i cant lose either windows, or ubuntu because of software, etc
[22:19] <eeee> Susning: any link?
[22:19] <genii> kubunto: If you're using the one that came by default with Ubuntu: sudo ufw status
[22:19] <kubunto> genii: if not, would i have to go to the router's firewall in browser?
[22:19] <Susning> eeee,  http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-14-04/
[22:19] <Digipeng> droidbuster: okay boot drive has to be less then 2 tb on your motherboard
[22:20] <eeee> Susning: thanks
[22:20] <gfgre> eeee it's because the sources file is using all the repos for precise. is it safe to change all references from precise to trusty?
[22:20] <genii> kubunto: If you mean your router and not your computer, log into the router and check.
[22:20] <eeee> gfgre: if you're using 14.04 , yes i guess, why is it using precise anyways?
[22:21] <droidbuster> Digipeng: what are the grub  rescue commands besides ls insmod set and unset... very very limited access i can see many drives but zero details about any
[22:21] <gfgre> eeee i don't know but it's a vps so i'm guessing my host is on crack
[22:21] <BenNZ> is anyone able to help be with eth0 connection problems
[22:22] <eeee> gfgre: ask them about it.
[22:22] <Digipeng> BeNz:I am having problems as well
[22:25] <Digipeng> droidbuster: okay so type ls
[22:25] <droidbuster> yes
[22:26] <droidbuster> as said before i come up with just hd0 hd1 hd1,1 hd2 hd2,2
[22:26] <droidbuster> nothing descriptive
[22:26] <droidbuster> like shooting in the dark
[22:26] <Digipeng> droidbuster:  okay then type  ls (hd0)/
[22:27] <droidbuster> unknown filesystem
[22:28] <Digipeng> droidbuster:  try ls (hd1,1)/
[22:29] <droidbuster> i did to every drive and i am not liking this Everyone is unknown. in the only cd i have slax live every drive registers and displays contents
[22:30] <Digipeng> I may have put a typeo it might be ls (hd1,1) /
[22:31] <Digipeng> theres a space after ) and before /
[22:31] <droidbuster> Digipeng: i checked every drive as you stated and
[22:31] <droidbuster> Digipeng: ok i will look into it and Thank you for your help.
[22:33] <ihsw> hi, i installed compizconfig-settings-manager and i was trying to turn off window shadows, but now unity won't load, what do?
[22:33] <droidbuster> Digipeng:
[22:33] <Digipeng> what we're looking for is a root partition once we find it we can go about booting
[22:34] <droidbuster> still the same result except this time disk hd1,1 came back with no such disk.
[22:34] <Digipeng> hmm
[22:35] <droidbuster> Digipeng: I think i am going to try from Slax and work with gparted if i can get it to boot into windows update the motherboard so i can boot from usb and properly fix this\
[22:36] <Bashing-om> droidbuster: hdo= 1st hard drive, hd1= 2nd hard drive ; msdos1= 1st partition, msdos2= 2nd partition // so ls -lh (hd0,msdos1)/boot would show the boot files IF they exist on the 1st hard drive's 1st partition. Hope this helps.
[22:37] <droidbuster> Digipeng: Thank you very much i will give it a try in a bit.
[22:39] <Digipeng> bashing-om helped. yw
[22:40] <Digipeng> look for boot files /boot is a tell tale sign  or vmlinuz*
[22:41] <droidbuster> Bashing-om: Thank you as well
[22:41] <Digipeng> droidbuster: here droid this is helpful http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/776643-how-to-rescue-a-non-booting-grub-2-on-linux/
[22:42] <Susning> eeee, i followed the instructions and now it hibernates both when i close lid and when battery is low. works nice as far as i have tested now.
[22:43] <Susning> eeee hibernate eventually turned off computer fully and reboot went back on fully with everything left (ssd system drive helps out a lot with getting up fast) :)
[22:44] <BenNZ> can i get some help with my wired connection , i cant see any errors in dmesg , the nm-applet keeps trying to connect but it fails to connect , does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is ?
[22:45] <droidbuster> Digipeng: thats if i make it to grub not grub rescue lol
[22:45] <zykotick9> BenNZ: does your NIC has a light?  is it on?  2nd, does your network have a DHCP server, and are you using dhcp?
[22:45] <zykotick9> s/has a light/have a light/
[22:45] <BenNZ> zybyes the light is on , and yes the router is a dhcp and i can connect to it using the wln0 connection
[22:45] <BenNZ> *wlan0
[22:46] <Basketball> i used the script from here http://askubuntu.com/questions/61708/automatically-sleep-and-wake-up-at-specific-times to sleep my pc and to wake a certain time except it never wakes up
[22:46] <zykotick9> BenNZ: do you have some weird LAN hardware then?  amazing you can get wlan0 working, but NOT eth0....
[22:46] <rathitlike> Problem xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set overscan on. Cause weird display. Radeon driver.
[22:47] <tiberios> can anyone help me with a strange xorg problem, basically when I boot up 14.04 lightdm seems to start but rather than giving me a login screen I just get a black screen...
[22:48] <BenNZ> zykotick9: not really , it was 2 weeks ago , went on holiday , not i cant seem to connect using the wired connection
[22:48] <rathitlike> tiberios: what video card?
[22:48] <rathitlike> Problem xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set overscan on. Cause weird display. Radeon driver.
[22:49] <rathitlike> tiberios: what video card?
[22:49] <tiberios> rathitlike: not sure, it's an onboard one on an older abit mobo
[22:49] <BenNZ> zykotick9: worst yet , its seems to work sometimes . bit not others
[22:49] <zykotick9> BenNZ: ahh, so it did work at one time?  in that case, i really don't have any suggestions :(  sorry, i don't actually use N-M...  good luck.
[22:50] <rathitlike> tiberios: do u know how to edit grub during boot?
[22:51] <trndr> droidbuster: scroll down on the link digigeng gave you, finding the correct partition is still an ls guessing game
[22:51] <tiberios> I don't seem to get a grub screen, suspect it is due to it not having a timeout on the screen or something
[22:52] <rathitlike> tiberios: You probably have just ubuntu installed then.
[22:52] <zykotick9> tiberios: holding shift after BIOS use to show grub
[22:52] <tiberios> ok, will do that.
[22:53] <tiberios> rathitlike: so what do you want me to do in grub?
[22:53] <rathitlike> tiberios: just a temporary work around by adding a command nomodeset.
[22:53]  * zykotick9 wonders what's up with grub2 prompt in #u right now?  the only thing i use that for, is to know i need to reboot and fix my grub?!?!
[22:54] <tiberios> rathitlike: just at the end of the grub config?
[22:54] <rathitlike> tiberios: no enter it just before the word QUEIT splash.
[22:55] <tiberios> ok, will give that a go.  wish me luck :)
[22:58] <rathitlike> Problem xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set overscan on. Cause weird display. Radeon driver.
[22:59] <Desperado_> hi everybody, there is someone that couldb use help me? i need some clarify on gru
[22:59] <sveinse> I'm running gnome-shell on 14.04. To connect to a smb share I can use smb:// in nautilus. How can I specify user name?
[22:59] <genii> !info gru
[22:59] <genii> Hm.
[23:00] <Desperado_> grub sorry, misstype
[23:01] <genii> sveinse: smb://user@wherever
[23:02] <facepalm> !info grub | Desperado_
[23:03] <Desperado_> i know something on grub, but i have to configure in a different mode this time
[23:03] <facepalm> Different mode?
[23:03] <genii> Possibly EFI is my guess
[23:04] <Desperado_> i have 2 ubuntu system (1 desktop 1 server) on the same pc, but on different HD. so i have install grub on ech hd. but only one system boot, when i select the second OS on grub the pc reboot only
[23:06] <excelsiora> hi
[23:06] <excelsiora> trying to update with the gui, not enough free disk space, should I go command line?
[23:06] <camtron> Does anyone know if Enlightenment 19 can be successfully installed on Ubuntu 12.04?
[23:07] <daftykins> excelsiora: can you use paste.ubuntu.com to share the output of "df -h" ?
[23:08] <Desperado_> noone could help me?
[23:11] <Tiberios> rathitlike: nomodeset doesn't appear to have made any difference
[23:12] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, run sudo update-grub in the OS that is first in that grub menu.
[23:12] <eeee> Desperado_: boot the first system, try to update-grub
[23:13] <bubbasaures> 2 hd's 2 mbr's 2 ubuntu's, either mbr boot will both, just has to have the mbr's in order with the OS on that HD
[23:15] <Desperado_> if i update grub nothing change, i already see the menu entry for other OS (like ubuntu 14.04 (on /sdb1)) but not start if i select that
[23:16] <Desperado_> bubbasaures explaine to me, i need details
[23:16] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, Which install is at the top of the grub menu?
[23:17] <Desperado_> Ubuntu desktop is on top of menu
[23:17] <Desperado_> and it start
[23:17] <Desperado_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542400/
[23:17] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, Can you pastbin sudo fdik -l
[23:18] <Desperado_> just doing it
[23:18] <bubbasaures> fdisk*
[23:18] <Tiberios> rathitlike: I've just noticed that while the screen is blank, if I hit the return key on teh connected keyboard, unity-greeter suddenly shows up in top
[23:18] <Tiberios> it's like it's working fine, but nothing is being displayed on the monitor
[23:18] <Desperado_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542400/
[23:20] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, So sda is the desktop sdb is the server?
[23:20] <Desperado_> yes
[23:20] <Desperado_> and sda desktop start
[23:22] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, So do this, in the desktop run sudo grub-install /dev/sda ; sudo update-grub  this make that install control the sda=mbr of that HD. Do the same command from the server command line which should boot after this first command. however in the server it is sdb not sda
[23:24] <Desperado_> i have installed grub on sda, i could try to update or reinstall, but i can't do the same command on server because it's don't boot
[23:24] <Desperado_> but i have installed grub on sdb too when i have installed it
[23:26] <bubbasaures> Desperado_, It should boot after the command I gave you. you than run in the server terminal.  sudo grub-install /dev/sdb ; sudo update-gru
[23:26] <daftykins> Desperado_: you don't put a GRUB her disk
[23:26] <daftykins> *per
[23:27] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Yeah way more complex than it has to be, heh.
[23:27] <daftykins> :(
[23:27] <waxhead_> hey everyone... I've restored a tar.gz file to my /home directory and it's done something odd
[23:27] <waxhead_> this is what I get when I try moving files around as the user
[23:28] <waxhead_> mv: cannot move âshepdâ to âshepherd.1â: Permission denied
[23:28] <Desperado_> i have a grub per disk, i'm sure of that, 1 grub on sda 1 grub on sdb
[23:28] <waxhead_> I can move the file as root, but not as the user
[23:28] <bubbasaures> Desperado_ If you just run the install and update and keep the sda first in the bios, both OS should boot from grub
[23:28] <Desperado_> ii try to run grub install in sda desktop
[23:28]  * ObrienDave stays out of this mess
[23:29] <bubbasaures> Desperado_ run this whole command  sudo grub-install /dev/sda ; sudo update-grub
[23:30] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: bubbasaures I am watching, I multi boot, and have grub installed to each disk BUT 30_os-prober is disabled on all but the master boot system.
[23:31] <Desperado_> how i could disable 30_os probe on system that not boot? chroot?
[23:31] <ObrienDave> grub-customizer ;P
[23:32] <Desperado_> ok i run command on sda desktop, grub install going OK and grub see 2 ubuntu (1 on sdb)
[23:32] <bubbasaures> the only problem here is not understanding grub, a real basic area tah boot
[23:32] <Desperado_> now?
[23:33] <OerHeks> why do you want to chainload?
[23:33] <Desperado_> i'm sorry if i don't understand, really. i try to do it, i ask for help because i can't figure it out of situations
[23:34] <ObrienDave> Desperado_, a word of advise, come here with questions BEFORE you want to do anything :)
[23:34] <bubbasaures> Bashing-om, I have 4 OS on my one HD, me to.
[23:35] <Desperado_> so, i have run command on sda, then?
[23:36] <evan__> has anyone encountered issues with battle net on crouton
[23:36] <Desperado_> i'm here for understand, not be scary for me, my system it's protected, i don't miss data or other. only i want to use this system and i can't do it
[23:36] <ObrienDave> evan__, NOT an Ubuntu support issue, thanks
[23:37] <Desperado_> i try to reboot on sdb?
[23:37] <Tiberios> hrm, given that rathitlike has gone, does anyone have any more suggestions for getting x working properly on 14.04?
[23:39] <Bashing-om> bubaI have 4 OSs on 2 drives, presently considering how I am going to re-arange booting, not real happy with the present configuration ! .. I have lubuntu embeded in sda7 (extended) and not working out too well when the kernel is upgrded. I am still *thinking*.
[23:42] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: bubbasaures :: do as bubba has directed, is one way, decide on what is the be that master booting system,. We can test from grub what does boot; then take corrective actions.
[23:43] <Desperado_> so how? i want sda to master boot HD, and it boot, how could i make sdb boot if selected?
[23:45] <chimpboy> hi everyone i am a chimp
[23:47] <bubbasaures> Desperado_ Have you run sudo grub-install /dev/sda tha sudo update-grub in the desktop and than tried the reboot to the server?
[23:47] <bubbasaures> than*
[23:47] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: As you want sda as master, set in bios to boot that 1st hard drive, boot into the system and -> sudo update-grub <- that 'might' pick up sdb. IF it does then boot into the server install from sda and there also re-install grub to the MBR of sdb, and now IMPORTANT disable 30_os-prober in sdb. Problems booting into sbd we can work from a liveDVD or a CHroot .
[23:49] <chachan> hey guys, I have a public IP address assigned by my ISP but it has a firewall and there's no way I can do the forwarding trick. To solve this, I want to create a VPN so that my me and my partner can work but should I install this server outside my network right?, otherwise I may continue the same problem to access to the OpenVPN server, or can I have the OpenVPN server inside my network and "do something" to make it accessible to my
[23:49] <chachan> partner (from outside my network) ?
[23:50] <Kb50> My bios (old system using Asrock Conroe MB) automagically picks Master IDE when it boots) but some computers might not. Then on my system I have a removable drive bay, which has the Master drive in it, and then a second HD (sdb) with Windows XP on it.
[23:51] <Kb50> Grub seems confused or delayed. However being Western Digital drives, it could be I got to play with the jumpers of the drives to be sure its not just that.
[23:51] <Desperado_> ok, i try after reinstall and update grub on sda, nothing changed. Now i try to boot in sdb and install and update grub on it and then disable 30 os right? i try
[23:52] <Kb50> So my system is with Linux on sda and windows Xp on sdb. If I remove the sda (Linux) drive then Xp boots very fast, but with the sda in place thre is like a 30 second dead time before the Grub screen appears. But I can boot either OS just fine.
[23:53] <Kb50> And yes I ran update so everything shows up ok.
[23:53] <SchrodingersScat> chachan: not sure why you wouldn't be able to port forward, but if that's completely off the table, then yeah, I think you would need to have the VPN outside and reachable, unless you can do something with a reverse tunnel
[23:54] <chachan> SchrodingersScat: thanks =/

[23:58] <excelsiora> ^ regarding trying to update with the gui, not enough free disk space, should I go command line?
[23:58] <excelsiora> sudo apt-get clean doesn't help
[23:59] <Bashing-om> excelsiora: What release ? .. 14.04 try terminal command -> sudo apt-get autoremove <- to remove the old kernels ( will not remove precise kernels !) .
[23:59] <excelsiora> 14.04
[23:59] <excelsiora> I don't think it did anything
