| excelsiora | should I do sudo apt-get update instead? | 00:00 |
| === drew_ is now known as midworldrew | ||
| Bashing-om | excelsiora: sudo apt-get autoremove , then to see what else remains -> dpkg -l |grep linux- <- . | 00:00 |
| excelsiora | autoremove didn't do anything | 00:00 |
| nevermoreraven | how do I speed up ubuntu's bootup time? | 00:00 |
| Bashing-om | excelsiora: always run -> sudo apt-get update <- before -> sudo apt-get upgrade <- . | 00:01 |
| excelsiora | just did update, haven't done upgrade, should I do that now? | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | !bootchart | 00:02 |
| ubottu | bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 00:02 |
| excelsiora | I'm on 14.04 I don't think it will do anything | 00:02 |
| excelsiora | ok, doing upgrade, seems to be doing stuff | 00:03 |
| Bashing-om | excelsiora: dpkg -l | grep linux- | pastebinit <- and pass the resulting URL back here and we see what we are working with, there are command line tools to remove the old kernels using the package manager. | 00:03 |
| excelsiora | why is the gui not as smart as the apt-get commands? Or it apt-get missing stuff? | 00:03 |
| Desperado_ | ok guys, i have chrooted in sdb and install and update on it grub, then disabled 30_os probe and update again. But the problem persist, when i boot i see grub of sda and the menu entry sdb restart the pc | 00:03 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: a pastebin of "ls -l /boot" would be good | 00:04 |
| excelsiora | waiting for upgrade to finish | 00:04 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: you can do it now in another terminal | 00:04 |
| Bashing-om | excelsiora: One can use synaptic to remove the kernels, much easier and faster to use the terminal in relaying instructions. | 00:04 |
| Desperado_ | no way to boot sdb from my damn pc? | 00:05 |
| excelsiora | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542630/ | 00:05 |
| daftykins | yeah you have a bit of junk to clean up there, give me a highlight when your upgrade finishes | 00:06 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: ^ | 00:06 |
| Bashing-om | Desperado_: UH oh ! .. prior to "update-grub" on sdb, should have diabled 30_os-prober .. bet now there is a recusion in both grubs ! | 00:06 |

| Kb50 | hmm earlier I wanted to modify my mouse pointer, and was told to get unity-tweak-tool which I did from software center. Now to run it has to be from terminal, but when I do it says com.canonical.desktop.interface is missing. So how do I get that? Is it in synaptic? | 00:08 |
| bubbasaures | Kb50, zorin? | 00:08 |
| JCT | idk Unity Tweak works fine for me | 00:08 |
| JCT | bye | 00:08 |
| Kb50 | Yes Zorin with unity desktop. | 00:09 |
| Kb50 | I guess I should go locate a Zorin guide not here in Ubuntu. | 00:09 |
| bubbasaures | Kb50, Please don't come here asking for help on zorin, we don't appreciatte it, this is ubuntu support period. | 00:09 |

| Desperado_ | anyone could help me? | 00:11 |
| Kb50 | Yeah well I am guessing ubuntu uses the canonical or rather a completely different interface. I am not against Ubuntu in any way, and I have it but after trying 6 different OS I settled on Zorin which is Ubuntu based but of course not the same. Ubuntu does have a great Janitor also. So it rules above them all. | 00:12 |
| Bashing-om | Desperado_: What 30_os-prober does is find other operating systems and add them to the boot config file(s) as the boots are added on each then recusion sets in that these boot files in /boot/grun/grub.cfg are repeated and repeated and drives the system nuts as to what to boot. | 00:13 |

| Kb50 | The one common thing I found is that all of them out of the box, need for my world to have the smb.conf file modified to get networking to function. I suppose it makes a difference whether you have other windows boxes on your LAN or not. | 00:14 |

| Kb50 | The weather applet also never seems to fully function, i any of them. Well that is I can never seem to get the ribbon to update. It shows the local weather in the launcher, but never shows the map(s) or radar. Just minor things like that but nothing to really care about. | 00:17 |

| gharz | hi, guys. i've been planning to share a folder within my WORKGROUP.... however everytime i run shares-admin on terminal it open a gui and i get an error that says Sharing Services are not installed. It says I need to install at least either Samba or NFS in order go share my folders - Install Unix network support (NFS) and Install network support (SMB)... I clicked Install services and a new window says Could not install package. what is wro | 00:20 |
| Desperado_ | yeah i can boot to sda already | 00:21 |
| Desperado_ | the problem is sdb as ever | 00:21 |
| squinty | gharz: might want to give system-config-samba a try. need to install it so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install system-config-samba (or use synaptic or whatever package manager you like) | 00:23 |
| gharz | squinty: does that mean shares-admin does not work? | 00:24 |

| gharz | squinty: thanks! | 00:25 |
| squinty | yw | 00:25 |
| Bashing-om | Desperado_: Understood that the problem is likely ALL within sdb .. lets check though that the config file on sda to boot sdb is not also in a bad way ??? . | 00:26 |

| tontre | flash is constantly crashing in firefox and chromium and this happens even after clean installs, but memtest and disk utility show healthy hardware, does anyone know what could possibly be going on? | 00:39 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: AMD has dropped support for the 2X/3X/4X series of cards. The only driver that will work in 14.04 is the open source driver. (sorry state of affairs ) | 00:39 |
| excelsiora | synaptic? | 00:40 |
| === sep_alicia is now known as sepero_iphone | ||
| tontre | this is only on my SSD, the 12.04 on my HDD works perfectly fine but 12.04 and 14.04 won't work correctly on my relatively new SSD | 00:40 |

| excelsiora | wow, that's going to free up a lot of space | 00:41 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: *nod* | 00:41 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: do a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' after that too | 00:42 |
| vertak | Snowie: I am currently use pulse as the audio output, since that seems to be what most of the tutorials online suggest. | 00:42 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: Yeah .. I might suggest ya make sure FGLRX is purged from the system and then install open source. -> sudo lshw -C diplay <- to see that the driver is loaded. | 00:43 |
| excelsiora | ok, then gui? or forget gui? Why didn't gui clean this up? I've had a couple of hard shutdowns after freezing up with too much going on... | 00:43 |

| mall | Hello and good (spanish) night. I am looking for a netbook distro to substitute outdated/dead Easy Peasy Linux on a friend's netbook. I've read on Ubuntu Netbook Remix page something about it being "fully incorporated" into ubuntu. I was wondering what does that mean practicly. Or if there was an Ubuntu flavour specific to netbooks with small screens other than xubuntu, lubuntu... Thank you | 00:43 |
| excelsiora | autoremove didn't do anything | 00:43 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: i don't use GUI package management. not enough feedback when things go wrong | 00:44 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: I also run an old ATI card with open source driver, I have absolutely no problem with it. | 00:44 |
| daftykins | excelsiora: what's this about freezing up? you've had stability issues with your install? that's a pretty different topic :) | 00:44 |
| excelsiora | yeah, I'm feeling that, but I want to help with the UX if possible... | 00:44 |
| Snowie | Bashing-om: it says unclaimed. yeah, i had to jump through hoops for the last one at one point. wondering if i changed something crucial | 00:44 |

| schmiddie | I don't want to interfere with any support going on in here right now, but i got a weird issue. any time my bf opens up his laptop the wifi for all other devices somewhat crashes. it keeps going but gets incredibly slow and sometimes gets timeouts. he isn't even running anything draining a lot of bandwith, even if he isn't doing anything all other devices like the other laptops, the ps4, even our mobiles get a very shitty connection. any | 01:02 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: sounds like a bad driver for the wireless device. | 01:03 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: keep the language family friendly though please. | 01:03 |
| schmiddie | a bad driver for the device... we got a fritzbox from our provider | 01:04 |
| mororo | hi, not working Steam, how to fix? Ubuntu 14 :) | 01:04 |
| schmiddie | and it shows an immediate switch in bandwith once he starts his device | 01:04 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: i mean the wireless network card in his laptop | 01:05 |
| schmiddie | he's runing ubuntu and on installing activated some sort of wifi-enhanchement? | 01:05 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: no, the driver is probably just bad. are you at that laptop now? | 01:05 |
| schmiddie | i've herd that you can set up the db of the signal via terminal but i have no clue how to do that | 01:05 |
| daftykins | no it's nothing to do with signal | 01:06 |
| schmiddie | i'm on another laptop in the same network. irc is working but even loading websites takes forever or just stops | 01:06 |
| daftykins | the driver does not work properly to make the hardware run normally, which ruins the wireless access point's (part of the router) for every other device. | 01:06 |
| schmiddie | so it's his driver or should i update the fritzbox? | 01:07 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: never hurts to be running the latest firmware on routers | 01:07 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: Make sure your card supports unity -> /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p -f <- all lines must be yes . | 01:07 |
| schmiddie | sure, but afaik its up to date. i've updated it like two weeks ago | 01:08 |

| schmiddie | ... even going to the router-interface takes ages | 01:08 |
| daftykins | schmiddie: yeah, i would definitely be pointing at your bf's laptop, in which case step #1 is to know which ubuntu version he's running - then share what the wireless card is by using paste.ubuntu.com to share the output of the command "lspci" | 01:09 |

| modelengine | ya lol | 01:17 |
| daftykins | nah :( just gotta sift through the spam | 01:18 |
| modelengine | oh too bad. | 01:18 |
| modelengine | it says that it will take approx 15 min in total to do its' thing. will you be around for that amount of time? | 01:18 |
| daftykins | mmm, i kind of glance in and out. i'd think that'll be the download time, but the actual package install time may take a lot longer | 01:19 |
| daftykins | modelengine: what i would do is have the printer unplugged for now, then with some serious luck maybe the upgrade will make it work when you plug it in afterwards:) | 01:19 |
| modelengine | oh ok. cool. | 01:19 |
| modelengine | if your not on when it is finished, will i have any trouble finding someone else that is knowledgeable about this? | 01:20 |

| Bashing-om | Snowie: Well, it has been around awhile, nothing last forever . .// that card though should be good in open source . | 01:31 |
| Moonlightning | In other words, is there a network-console/authorized_keys_file I can use instead of network-console/authorized_keys_url? | 01:31 |

| schmiddie | okay guys, he gave me his machine and i updated his drivers, now it works :3 | 01:33 |
| schmiddie | thanks a lot! | 01:33 |

| schmiddie | it was literally a single line of code and a second to shout at him to tell me his sudo-password | 01:34 |
| modelengine | is 14.04 a stable version? | 01:35 |
| excelsiora | oops, not recommended to run badblocks directly according to man page... | 01:35 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, itis | 01:35 |
| excelsiora | 14.04 is LTS, long term support | 01:35 |
| modelengine | thank you | 01:35 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: 2 things yet, can you boot 'nomodeset" from grub, and in the liveDVD what driver is in use ? do you have a good display in the liveDVD ? | 01:35 |
| Moonlightning | Alternately, how do I supply a password containing spaces for network-console/password? | 01:35 |
| Snowie | Bashing-om: i dont have a live dvd at present. im in recovery console. but i can try the nomodeset switch. i would have to nano of vi grub i think. | 01:36 |
| Snowie | *or | 01:36 |
| peavey2787 | how can I install new window borders? I'm using ubuntu 14.04 cinnamon 2.3 | 01:36 |
| Snowie | it's /etc/grug/grub.conf or similar? | 01:37 |
| modelengine | after i have finished upgrading to 14.04, will my settings and installed ppa's, etc still be there or will it be like a clean install? | 01:38 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, clean install | 01:38 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, but you might have settings if your /home is in it's own partition and you did not format /home | 01:38 |
| modelengine | oh that's too bad. so it's not like doing a sudo apt-get update ? | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | Snowie: BAh, reboot and soon as bios screen clears, depress and hold right shift key -> grub boot menu -> 'e' key for edit mode -> arrow down and across to "quiet splash, add "nomodeset" - with out the quotes. Boot the degault backup driver, IF still bad graphics a good bet the card is bad. | 01:39 |
| cfhowlett | !home | modelengine, clean install is different from do -release-upgrade. | 01:39 |

| modelengine | cfhowlett, so there is no point in me configing tbird pop mail settings, firefox addons, etc, because what you are saying is it is all going bye bye after the 14.04 has been fully downloaded, installed, etc? | 01:42 |
| modelengine | sorry, i mean configging while it is downloading 14.04 in terminal | 01:42 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, I suggest you move /home to a dedicated partition, do-release-upgrade and then add ppa's. | 01:43 |
| modelengine | super thx | 01:43 |
| modelengine | cfhowlett, were the xfce drivers for nvidia cards updated to actually work for the 14.04 lts, or am i still up the creek if i wanna use my gfx card? | 01:45 |

| TiMe2HeiNKeN | it's mine ok | 01:54 |
| TiMe2HeiNKeN | too proud hackers! | 01:54 |
| Ben64 | cfhowlett: how long has this been going on? | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64, about 7 minutes now. | 01:54 |
| TiMe2HeiNKeN | i thought with the bash problem you can hack anything.. | 01:55 |
| cfhowlett | nevermoreraven, nvidia is pretty well supported. amd finally figured out that they need to support linux but they're far below nvidia's level of support. intel is hit or miss, but they did release a native linux driver. | 01:56 |
| TiMe2HeiNKeN | my server is ubuntu, with no X server | 01:56 |
| nevermoreraven | I only use free software no proprietary software | 01:56 |
| Ben64 | nevermoreraven: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ | 01:57 |
| modelengine | nevermoreraven, i used nvidia proprietary drivers for my gforce, and it screwed up my whole sys. i had to do clean install just to be able to download stuff again. | 01:57 |
| Digipeng | lol thats sad modelengine | 01:57 |
| Ben64 | modelengine: that isn't possible under normal circumstances | 01:58 |
| modelengine | yup. | 01:58 |
| modelengine | well it sure sucked. i wonder what i did wrong then | 01:58 |
| modelengine | i g'd it, and found that others had had the same prob. ppl advised to download xfce drivers only for nvidia gfx cards | 01:59 |
| Digipeng | I wonder if it broke ubutus binarys because of canonical special software | 01:59 |
| Ben64 | modelengine: xfce doesn't have drivers... | 02:00 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, I'd have to say that's questionable advice. xfce = no drivers. it's a desktop environment. | 02:00 |
| modelengine | possibly. it wouldn't allow me to download anything thru ubuntu soft centre. it kept saying that it was broke and to repair. i repaired but it still didn't work. | 02:00 |
| Ben64 | well how did you install nvidia | 02:00 |
| modelengine | first with proprietary driv's thru terminal | 02:01 |
| modelengine | also, after all the nvidia crap happened, i could no longer run steam | 02:01 |
| Ben64 | sounds like you used either a ppa or some other outside package | 02:01 |
| modelengine | in fact, i couldn't even download anything thru terminal at all, incl updates, etc. it would say broken or missing (can't remember what it said after).... | 02:02 |
| modelengine | ya, that was it, a ppa | 02:02 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, too much guess work for a proper analysis | 02:02 |
| Ben64 | next time, just come here first :) | 02:02 |
| blahhaaha | im missing a CPU again. i remember i fixed it last time by doing something with /etc/default/grub any one know what i might have done? | 02:02 |
| modelengine | yup, i will be much more careful in the future with nvidia downloads | 02:03 |
| modelengine | ben64, yeah i will def do that, just didn't realize exactly how knowledeable everybody on here is. so thanks :) | 02:03 |
| Ben64 | I installed 14.04 fresh on this computer (added an SSD) and I didn't have to do anything. Nvidia installed itself, Ubuntu is pretty spiffy | 02:03 |
| blahhaaha | my laptop wont go above 1024x768 on 14.04 but it needs replacing anyway. right now im more worried about this missing CPU | 02:05 |
| modelengine | question regarding comment about xfce being a DE. when i look up drivers on ubunt soft centre, it says in parenthesis 'xfce' , as well it lists a bunch of others incl proprietary and 3rd party ppa's. | 02:05 |
| modelengine | so, my q is, if xfce isn't a driver but is a DE, then why would it say in parenthesis xfce? | 02:05 |
| blahhaaha | x2 CPU but lscpu lists only 1 core 1 thread | 02:05 |
| Ben64 | modelengine: can you take a screenshot or something | 02:06 |
| modelengine | is it saying that it is specifically for the XFCE DE? | 02:06 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, NO Idea where you are seeing driver = xfce. paste the source | 02:06 |
| modelengine | for sure. Just need a couple of min to find | 02:06 |

| evil_dan2wik | how do I prevent this in the future? | 02:09 |
| tontre | anywhere to get paid help? | 02:09 |
| cfhowlett | tontre, canonical offers paid support | 02:10 |
| modelengine | ben64, sorry, been awhile since I looked at the nvidia problem. i just realized after looking at your sceen shot that i meant XORG, not xfce | 02:10 |
| modelengine | my bad | 02:10 |
| tontre | cool, and thats just for a single residential user? kinda looked like business support but maybe not | 02:10 |
| tontre | my firefox and chromium wont stop crashing even after a clean install | 02:11 |
| modelengine | so, xfce then would translate to XUBUNTU interface? | 02:11 |
| modelengine | DE? | 02:11 |
| tontre | everyrime i post here i get ignored so i figured money talks | 02:11 |
| trndr | evil_dan2wik: update, update, update. see ##security for further sugestions | 02:11 |
| modelengine | and man is 14.04 taking forever to install, etc | 02:12 |
| cfhowlett | tontre, I believe that is enterprise support. check into your local linux/ubuntu user group? | 02:12 |
| modelengine | its now at the 'setting up....' pojnt | 02:12 |
| Digipeng | did ubuntu fix shellshock yet? | 02:12 |
| tontre | I built my first computer about 6 months ago and have no idea where to even find a local group? i guess google would help me with that | 02:13 |
| trndr | Digipeng: sortof, like most distros. | 02:13 |
| cfhowlett | Digipeng, it was NOT an ubuntu problem, it was linux problem and it's been fixed. | 02:13 |

| mezel | Hey Bashing-om, got it all fixed | 02:21 |
| mezel | the issue was related to a kernel issue... it had crashed before it was done so grub couldn't find it at all | 02:22 |
| mezel | thankfully my friend was able to figure it all out and we were able to fix it so it's all good | 02:22 |
| Bashing-om | mezel: Great ! .. now that is good trouble shooting ! .. | 02:23 |
| mezel | the kernal headers were mid install.. | 02:23 |
| mezel | when it bombed.. | 02:23 |
| mezel | part of it was related to the fact that I had a repeat souce for installing stuff and it caused the gtub to hang when it updated | 02:23 |
| mezel | grub | 02:23 |
| mezel | when I get back in there and can get it sorted out will install pastebinit and send you a copy of my grub.cfg so you can see what I was trying to get back | 02:24 |
| mezel | will be on in a bit for a bit possibly, but can't be up too late tonight as I have church.. | 02:24 |
| Bashing-om | mezel: Repeat source ?/ as in /etc/apt/sourcers/list file ?? ( should not have effected booting, however) | 02:25 |
| xroads | maybe acpi=off? | 02:25 |
| mezel | yes, but it did for the update.. and caused grub to hang. | 02:25 |
| xroads | no im needing help and your the first person to actually ackowledge me | 02:25 |
| mezel | cause it didn't finish installing the headers etc for kernel | 02:25 |
| xroads | bah too many chats open | 02:26 |
| Digipeng | okay I still am not able to connect to the internet on my 14.04 box | 02:26 |
| mezel | so we had to completely obliterate them and re-install them to get it to work again | 02:26 |
| xroads | Digipeng, how do you connect? | 02:26 |
| Bashing-om | mezel: All is well thay ends well, sure glad we did not have to loose sleep to find all that ! | 02:27 |
| mezel | once that was fixed grup worked and then we had to cat the additions to the cfg file | 02:27 |
| Digipeng | its a vm on vmware workstation using a intel nic. the other guests attached to the virtual net my ubuntu box is connted to works but ubuntu doesn't and its connected to that net. | 02:28 |
| mezel | and he also made sure to dd the mbr as well so I can fix that as well | 02:28 |
| mezel | but gotta go for a bit... thanks for all your help yesterday. | 02:28 |
| Bashing-om | mezel: see ya, yeah a back up of the MBR is good if ya mess about with Grub a lot. | 02:30 |
| Digipeng | it worked yesterday but is not working today | 02:30 |

| modelengine | cfhowlett, ubunt soft cent says that the package is of 'bad quality' and recommends that i don't install cuz it could screw things up. install anyway? | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, pull the trigger. worst case: printer doesn't work | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, and you can always de-install | 03:06 |
| modelengine | true.... | 03:07 |

| modelengine | cfhowlett, shows this after extract. what do i do? http://imgur.com/mdfFjI3 | 03:14 |
| Spark | So libicu-dev has a bunch of .a files, but it's a c++ library. Can I assume I can link to it with any version of g++? | 03:14 |
| Spark | I am getting some weird segfaults since I switched to the packaged version, away from a prebuilt version | 03:15 |
| Spark | err, i mean away from a custom built one | 03:15 |
| JavaJosh | Hi all, I just got a pop up offering a Partial Update. I updated and restarted and I am still at 14.04... does anyone know what this was about? Was it supposed to take me to 14.10? I thought that was the 23rd of october... O_o | 03:15 |

| Spark | mysteriously, the segfault completely goes away when i run in valgrind | 03:16 |
| Spark | but it does appear in gdb | 03:17 |
| modelengine | cfhowlett, oh right. ok, doing now | 03:17 |
| Spark | in icu_52::RegexMatcher::~RegexMatcher | 03:17 |
| cfhowlett | modelengine, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8543306/ | 03:17 |
| Spark | oh it's also possible that the header files don't match the .a, but that would surely be a packaging bug | 03:17 |
| bubbasaures | JavaJosh, partials are not release upgrades, only a regular with missing packages, best not run really. | 03:17 |
| newhoa | Using the ping command, is there a way to have it ping a certain amount of times every so many seconds? I see you can specify count and interval, but I can't find a way to specify the count per interval. | 03:18 |
| teaearlgraycold | Variables named 'temp' are bad, right? | 03:19 |

| Digipeng | !temp | 03:20 |
| JavaJosh | bubbasaures: alright thanks. When you say "best not run really" what do you mean? It is best to not run that update? | 03:21 |
| bubbasaures | JavaJosh, Missing packages is generally resolved within a day or so, so yeah. | 03:23 |

| delt | Hello | 03:39 |
| daftykins | hi | 03:39 |
| delt | I downloaded openoffice and it's a bunch of .deb files - how do i install it? | 03:39 |
| JavaJosh | bubbasaures: well crap. I already did the update. Will I be able to get the missing packages later on by just doing an apt-get update? | 03:40 |
| daftykins | delt: double click, or open a terminal... navigate to the folder and run "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" | 03:40 |
| delt | daftykins: for each file? there's like 50 of them, and i have to do them in the right order for dependencies | 03:40 |
| daftykins | delt: why do you want openoffice? libreoffice is newer | 03:41 |
| delt | to try out its spreadsheet program and word processor, mainly | 03:41 |

| samthewildone | ah no thank you, I have to install a windows version of firefox. | 03:51 |
| samthewildone | Very few sites still use shockwave, just annoying to see an plugin error on chromium. As most of the sites I visit seem to be using shockwave. | 03:52 |
| daftykins | chrome ditched NPAPI support, probably part of why | 03:52 |

| tterrag | (not my question, but same problem) | 04:37 |
| bubbasaures | tterrag, You know the tty ctrl-alt-f1-6 for a command line? | 04:38 |
| tterrag | nope :P | 04:38 |
| Digipeng | oh ubuntus debian based i foregot. virtual terminals are enabled though right? | 04:39 |
| tterrag | bubbasaures: I was able to get a command line for all of 1/2 a second | 04:40 |
| tterrag | then it flashed white and went to black, as per usual | 04:40 |
| tterrag | can hear it running, it's not off | 04:40 |
| bubbasaures | tterrag, I'm not up on nvidia, there are optional low graphic boots not sure how that workswith nvidia is all. | 04:41 |
| tterrag | bubbasaures: googling how to do it gives me a ton of results of how to FIX it -.- | 04:43 |
| Yrie | tterrag: does it even go to grub? | 04:45 |
| tterrag | Yrie: not dual booting | 04:45 |

| Digipeng | was that a typeo or did you actuall tell him to do that on /dev/sda | 04:47 |

| Digipeng | well excelsiora blocks can be repaired or rather replaced by a hard drives firmware | 05:11 |

| Roofu | Okay, basically...I'm trying to dual boot Win 8.1 and Ubuntu, following the guide in itsfoss. I've gone up to the part where I make the root partition, the swap area partition...and then the rest of the partition becomes unusuable, doesn't let me make the Home partition. Win8.1 is only using C drive, there's a little System Reserved, and all the rest is unallocated. What am I missing? | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | !uefi | Roofu | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Roofu: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| lotuspsychje | Roofu: make your life easy and single install ubuntu, loose win once and for good :p | 05:25 |
| Roofu | I'd love to, but I need Windows for school. And I've turned off UEFI. | 05:26 |

| Digipeng | anyway Ill help | 05:27 |

| lotuspsychje | Roofu: 14.04 is so fantastic, you will never need windows anymore :p | 05:28 |
| Digipeng | yes 4 primary | 05:28 |
| Digipeng | but 1 of those can be an extended | 05:28 |
| Digipeng | and you can have other partions in an extended partition | 05:29 |
| CanYouFTLTN | can I ask room a question? | 05:29 |
| Yrie | I wonder... | 05:29 |
| Yrie | !partition | 05:29 |

| jericho | Ello | 05:33 |
| Digipeng | okay swaps required and / | 05:33 |
| Digipeng | you also are required to have windows stuff | 05:33 |
| Digipeng | by your words that is | 05:34 |
| jericho | So what are we talking about? | 05:34 |
| Roofu | well, | 05:34 |
| Roofu | on that partitions page it says linux only needs two partitions | 05:34 |
| Roofu | so I'm wondering if root swap and home are all needed or I'm misunderstanding | 05:34 |
| samthewildone | is there a way to import my wallpapers from my ~ into the default gnome 3 wallpaper directory ? | 05:34 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: yes 2 / and swap | 05:35 |

| Yrie | !ubuntu-offtopic | 05:37 |
| lotuspsychje | jericho: there is a nice chitchat room in #ubuntu-offtopic yes | 05:37 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: okay so make a swap for 4gb | 05:37 |
| Roofu | I did | 05:37 |
| Roofu | so does that mean I don't need to make home? | 05:37 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: home will be automaticly included when you make a / | 05:38 |
| Roofu | I'm a bit confused now, the guide said I had to make home separately | 05:38 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: thats the linux equiv to c: and home is like c:/home | 05:38 |
| Roofu | so like...just what do I have to do | 05:39 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: well if you are doing things specialy you can do that | 05:39 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: what do you have currently on your partition table? | 05:40 |
| Roofu | C, "system reserved" and unallocated | 05:40 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: okay good, how much unallocated? | 05:40 |
| Roofu | 265 GB | 05:41 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: can you provide a link to the guide you are using? | 05:41 |
| Roofu | http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ | 05:41 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: okay now i can see what your seeing maybe that helps | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | its foss has some nice guides, but i would go for the easy win8 install in virtualbox | 05:43 |
| Roofu | my computer is not powerful enough to use win8 inside a virtual machine | 05:44 |

| Digipeng | Roofu: click the plus | 05:44 |
| Roofu | digipeng, I am not up to that part of the installation yet | 05:44 |
| cfhowlett | Roofu, perhaps a lighter version = lubuntu 32 bit or xubuntu 64 bit | 05:44 |
| Roofu | however, I can tell you what happened | 05:44 |
| Roofu | i made root, following the instructions | 05:45 |
| Roofu | I made swap, following the instructions | 05:45 |
| Roofu | then it wouldn't let me add anymore and became unusable | 05:45 |
| Roofu | (I mean to say that I had installed up to that part; when it wasn't working I quit) | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | a machine with 2gig ram with win8 as default Os, thats just why i would install ubuntu single | 05:45 |
| Digipeng | right system reserve partitiong | 05:45 |
| Roofu | uh, sorry? | 05:46 |
| cfhowlett | lotuspsychje, sad to say, those specs are par for a new computer here in China. Perhaps that's why win XP is still so prevalent. | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | cfhowlett: agree | 05:46 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: you were right on 4 primary partitions limitation | 05:46 |
| Roofu | yeah, but I have no idea how to make an extended partition... | 05:47 |
| Roofu | even googling doesn't help | 05:47 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: I create a vm and walk you through | 05:47 |
| Digipeng | i'll* | 05:48 |
| Roofu | thanks a ton! | 05:48 |
| Digipeng | Roofu: Its booting up right now | 05:49 |

| Digipeng | lol | 05:54 |
| Roofu | sorry if I'm being too rude, I have a horrible cold and a headache >< | 05:56 |
| Digipeng | and you have to do disk partitioning nice | 05:58 |
| Digipeng | lol | 05:58 |
| Roofu | but I'll get Ubuntu, so it'll be worth it(probably) | 06:01 |
| Roofu | i tried typing import immune_system in python, but it didn't fix my cold- maybe I need to do sudo import immune_system :p | 06:01 |
| === kernel is now known as Bayangan | ||
| Digipeng | Roofu: okay got it the proceedure for you, just make swap and /home logical | 06:03 |
| Roofu | really? that'll fix it? | 06:03 |
| Digipeng | it should add the extended partition | 06:03 |
| Roofu | O_O | 06:03 |
| Roofu | if only I knew it was so simple...thank you so much! | 06:04 |
| Roofu | ...now where did I keep that thumb drive | 06:04 |
| Digipeng | logical drives fit under extended partitions | 06:06 |
| Digipeng | they made it look easy by not including the partition but in reality they should of made it a tree drawing of whats conneted to what | 06:07 |
| samthewildone | clear | 06:07 |
| samthewildone | nope | 06:07 |

| distra | Hey guys, I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 and I find it quite comfortable, but flash videos on chrome don't work, they lag so bad it just freezes the whole browser, is this a known issue? | 06:20 |
| Roofu | I am having to spam random buttons just to enter the BIOS on my laptop | 06:20 |
| Roofu | it's terrifying | 06:20 |
| herpderphurr | hey everyone. When I run "lsof -i", I get some files as "UDP *:27015". I don't understand why an asterisk is used, and I don't see it explained in the man pages. Can anyone enlighten me? | 06:20 |
| Roofu | I have no idea which one works | 06:20 |
| Digipeng | typically * is wildcard | 06:20 |
| herpderphurr | how do I interpret a wildcard if I get it as output? | 06:22 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 06:23 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: if you mean the "extra software" the installer offers you at the beginning of the installation, then no I didn't. | 06:24 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:25 |
| distra | btw flash videos work just fine on Firefox | 06:25 |
| Digipeng | okay network connection context | 06:25 |
| Digipeng | udp means protocol | 06:25 |
| Digipeng | *means anything at udp port 27015 | 06:26 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: chrome should be able to play video's by default | 06:26 |
| herpderphurr | hmm, so I could I interpret *:27015 as meaning the process is listening on that port for any incoming connections? | 06:26 |
| hanuwath | hello | 06:26 |
| hanuwath | anyone here? | 06:27 |
| hanuwath | O:) | 06:27 |
| Digipeng | right | 06:27 |
| hanuwath | :) | 06:27 |
| hanuwath | do you know about the 5th of November? | 06:27 |
| hanuwath | quit | 06:28 |
| herpderphurr | ah, I see. So it looks like when it comes to UDP, lsof doesn't print (LISTEN) at the end of the line. | 06:28 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: Ok I'm on it, it's installing a damn lot of stuff.. | 06:28 |
| hanuwath | what | 06:28 |
| hanuwath | what? | 06:28 |
| herpderphurr | what threw me off was that I was thinking that the process was writing to *:27015, which I thought that it was just spamming nonsense into whatever possible addresses there are. | 06:28 |
| Digipeng | not an expert though. | 06:29 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: Yes that's the answer I get by googling, and Chrome kinda plays them, but teerrible, sound is out of sync and they play reaaaally slow | 06:29 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: try after installing the extras | 06:29 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: you can also test out chromium just to test | 06:30 |
| Digipeng | UDP to the best of my knowlege is pretty dumb all it does is give the computer packets and expects it to find out what to do with it | 06:33 |
| Digipeng | its like telling someone here catch | 06:33 |
| Digipeng | right lotus offtopic i know , I jsut like to wrap up thats all | 06:33 |
| circ-user-wE81h | Hi guys! I have some problem with booting, When i try to boot Ubuntu, it's hang out and when I press esc button it says: "Scanning for Btrfs filesystems", but it doesn't do anything. | 06:33 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: Nope they still run terribly. By the way I just re-installed the whole system to see if the problem went away but it didn't. I tried Chromium in the past and it worked, after installing pepper-flash that is. Oh btw I can watch YouTube videos just fine on Chrome, I guess it's because they use HTML5 instead of flash. | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !btrfs | circ-user-wE81h | 06:34 |
| ubottu | circ-user-wE81h: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs | 06:34 |
| azulinox | buenas | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: normally chrome should play by default | 06:34 |
| herpderphurr | circ-user-wE81h: Do you get stuck at that point in the boot stage, or does it go away pretty quickly? | 06:35 |
| herpderphurr | if you get stuck, that's probably a problem. If it goes away, that's not a problem. | 06:35 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: Yeah that's what I've been told, I guess I just have bad luck. | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: how about starting google-chrome from terminal, see what error you get on videos | 06:36 |
| circ-user-wE81h | I don't think, I have any Btrfs filesytem in my computer. | 06:38 |
| herpderphurr | if you don't think you have any, you probably don't. The message shouldn't worry you though. I see it, too, but it doesn't cause me any trouble. | 06:39 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: Never thought of that. I just get "Created new window in existing browser session" and returns to prompt. I guess I'd have to close this chrome session for it to work. | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | distra: yes open new chrome from terminal | 06:40 |
| circ-user-wE81h | i stuck | 06:41 |
| distra | lotuspsychje: okay I'll close this session then | 06:42 |
| circ-user-wE81h | I don't use Btrfs! that the point. It says: "scanning for btrfs", and i stuck at that point. and my hard led blink every 1min. i let it do it for a while but it didn't boot anyway. | 06:44 |
| circ-user-wE81h | how can i prevent btrfs check via grub2 in boot | 06:45 |
| circ-user-wE81h | ? | 06:45 |
| herpderphurr | hmmm | 06:47 |
| herpderphurr | this might be relevant to you circ: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/78535/how-to-get-rid-of-the-scanning-for-btrfs-file-systems-at-start-up | 06:48 |
| herpderphurr | circ, do you have a LiveCD or a USB disk you can boot off of to get to your system otherwise? | 06:52 |
| circ-user-wE81h | thank u "herpderphurr" but I have seen this before, I don't have access to my linux right now | 06:53 |
| circ-user-wE81h | USB ok i can make it, what about next? | 06:54 |
| herpderphurr | once you boot in with the USB, launch a terminal. mount your filesystems somewhere (preserving the usual structure). Then you run chroot on the mount point and then run the usual commands you need to remove btrfs-tools package | 06:58 |
| === circ-user-wE81h is now known as noob | ||
| === noob is now known as Guest40509 | ||
| herpderphurr | for example.... | 06:59 |
| herpderphurr | after launching the terminal, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 07:00 |
| herpderphurr | if you have a separate boot partition (if you don't know what it is, you probably don't have a separate boot partition and shouldn't worry about this step), mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot | 07:00 |
| Guest40509 | i don't | 07:01 |
| herpderphurr | okay then | 07:01 |
| herpderphurr | you'll have to replace /dev/sda1 with whatever your filesystem sits on. I can walk you through this with the fdisk command if you would like. | 07:02 |
| Guest40509 | no thank I am in windows right now, I now how to mount | 07:03 |
| herpderphurr | ok | 07:04 |
| herpderphurr | after you've mounted, run chroot /mnt | 07:04 |
| herpderphurr | you can then uninstall btrfs-tools if you have it installed, or you can blacklist the btrfs module in /etc/modprobe.d | 07:05 |
| foyripvgf | hello! | 07:07 |
| Guest40509 | how can I uninstall btrfs-tools, what is this command? Is it "apt-get"? | 07:07 |
| herpderphurr | yeah, apt-get purge btrfs-tools | 07:07 |
| dht7166 | DAV | 07:07 |
| dht7166 | DAV | 07:07 |
| dht7166 | DAV | 07:08 |
| Guest40509 | thank you "herpderphurr" | 07:08 |
| herpderphurr | I don't have the package installed but I still get the scanning message. It might even be better to blacklist the btrfs module in /etc/modprobe.d | 07:08 |
| herpderphurr | speaking of btrfs, I'm thinking about putting together a machine running btrfs for the fun of it all. Are there any things I should know before I start? | 07:09 |

| dreamcat4 | hi. how hard is it to use up 10GB installing programs from apt-get ? | 08:31 |
| dreamcat4 | if ubuntu installs 6GB of data, i'm trying to decide between either 20GB or 30GB / partition | 08:31 |
| daftykins | go 30GB | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | dreamcat4, how hard? easy. load up 10 gb? | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | dreamcat4, so your question is really " How much space should I give the ubuntu partition?" | 08:33 |
| dreamcat4 | yes | 08:33 |
| hdtune2k_ | hi | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | dreamcat4, example: I've got ubuntustudio ... all primary package AND the suggested alternates. I've used 8.9 GB of my 15 GB /filesystem. BUT I have over 100 GB in my /home. | 08:34 |
| dreamcat4 | great. so if i go 20GB, it would be pretty difficult to fill up right? (just from apt-get install xyz) | 08:35 |
| dreamcat4 | my home (like yours) will also be on another partition | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | dreamcat4, it would be EASY to fill. completely depends on what kind/how many apps you decide to load. "average" users would find 20 GB /filesystem more than adequate ... again: not addressing your /home | 08:36 |
| dreamcat4 | i shall compromise and go 25GB then. don't intent to install too much | 08:37 |
| cfhowlett | dreamcat4, movies/music/pictures probably eat more memory than programs | 08:38 |

| wlxmhls | hi, how to disable automatical blank screen in xubuntu? | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | wlxmhls, settings > power manager | 08:51 |
| victor__ | Is there a GUI for rsync where I can verify/confirm the changes before performing them? This is possible in Unison but Unison is too slow. The tools that I've tried are based on rsync and the only possibility in them has been to do a dry run. However, doing a dry run is easy to miss and if the regular run button is pressed then there is no way back. | 08:53 |
| wlxmhls | cfhowlett: yeah, I set the monitor to never blank screen, but when I watch flash videos for about 10 minutes, the system still goes into dark. why? | 08:53 |
| cfhowlett | wlxmhls, disable the power manager and/or screensaver settings. My guess is one or the other is enabled. also; same behavior on AC and battery? | 08:54 |
| wlxmhls | cfhowlett: I am using ac | 08:55 |
| wlxmhls | cfhowlett: I removed xscreensaver, so there is no screen saver settings | 08:56 |
| wlxmhls | cfhowlett: there is only power manager | 08:57 |
| cfhowlett | wlxmhls, ask #xubuntu or #xfce. There's probably a well-hidden setting that is causing this. | 08:57 |
| wlxmhls | cfhowlett: ok. thanks | 08:58 |

| facepalm | sixequalszero, gnome-look.org has some. | 09:00 |
| cfhowlett | sixequalszero, ubuntu and linux are moving away from screensavers ... but if you insist ... xscreensaver is probably your best bet. install the extras though. | 09:00 |

| herpderphurr | Is there something wrong with old software? | 09:13 |
| herpderphurr | I don't see the logic in how old necessarily means bad or detrimental. | 09:13 |
| daftykins | you don't see the screen when a screensaver is on | 09:13 |
| sixequalszero | herpderphurr: He's saying modern screens don't need 'saving' | 09:13 |
| sixequalszero | daftykins: depends on the screensaver | 09:14 |

| TurkerTunali | Hi guys, I have a Ubuntu Server 14.04 and I want to install new 3TB HDD. What is the easiest way to partition my new hdd on ubuntu? I will use it to share some files on our network. | 09:54 |
| Aamit | TurkerTunali, fdisk | 09:56 |
| xeoncore | Really Aamit? I think he said easy... | 09:56 |
| Aamit | :) | 09:57 |
| daftykins | nothing like a good trial by fire | 09:57 |
| eeee | TurkerTunali: gparted is probably the easiest most user friendly way | 09:59 |
| rubiksmomo | How do I escape spaces and backslashes in /etc/fstab FTP password? | 10:11 |
| daftykins | you don't put a password in there | 10:12 |
| daftykins | you create a file called credentials in /root/ with 400 permissions and refer to it | 10:12 |
| daftykins | especially if you are doing a samba mount | 10:12 |
| rubiksmomo | it's FTP mount | 10:13 |
| rubiksmomo | curlftpfs | 10:14 |
| daftykins | you can probably still pass credentials via the options field "credentials=/path/to" | 10:14 |
| daftykins | not sure though | 10:15 |

| lax | while downloading ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso file it didnot downloaded completely in Firefox, how to resume and conitnue to complete the download? | 10:27 |
| eeee | lax: use rsync | 10:27 |
| lax | how to use it | 10:27 |
| eeee | rsync -avP rsync://path/to/online/iso /path/to/iso/on/pc | 10:28 |
| eeee | ( open a terminal and type that ) | 10:28 |
| xeoncore | ^ +1 | 10:28 |
| sysop2 | would about wget? | 10:28 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: found a kernel bug from 2 years ago, what version are you on? | 10:28 |
| sysop2 | what about wget? why would you use rsync for that? | 10:28 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, kernel or ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: one would be indicative of the other | 10:29 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, 14.04.1 | 10:29 |
| cristian_c | 3.13.0-37-generic | 10:29 |
| daftykins | oh so up to date, shame | 10:29 |
| lax | should i use the source path "http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop " | 10:29 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, it's the default kernel in 14.04 | 10:30 |
| snpresent | less people have time to read the sourcecode,sad!!! | 10:30 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: yes, yes i know | 10:31 |
| snpresent | less people find bugs.... | 10:31 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: no ideas then, sadly. does it work in another OS? | 10:31 |
| daftykins | lax: that is not a source path. | 10:31 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, the same micro-sd card works if inserted in an external card reader | 10:32 |
| sysop2 | so any ideas which package I need for that opengl error? | 10:32 |
| snpresent | opensource not equal safe,yeah | 10:33 |
| eeee | sysop2: i once downloaded an iso and it completed the download, after installing it was odd and missed stuff so i checksummed and it was missing stuff, anyways rsync fixed the iso. i guess it's just better. | 10:33 |
| antonio__ | ben64: and rubiksmomo: If I open a music player I can't load a CD | 10:34 |

| === Ubuntu is now known as Guest67346 | ||
| sysop2 | that sounds like a problem with a spefic version of wget. I have used wget's resume before with 0 problems. but not really interested in that, just need to know what pacakge I need for that open gl issue. | 10:35 |
| rubiksmomo | antonio__: so the CD doesn't appear on the left bar? | 10:35 |
| eeee | sysop2: k, i was using aria2 for downloading btw. | 10:36 |

| lax | by using the following rsync -avP rsync:http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso /home/lax/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 10:40 |

| sysop2 | dude jjust use wget. its designed to do web transfers. | 10:41 |
| eeee | sysop2: dude rsync is way cleverer | 10:41 |

| mesaboogie1 | --ProgressBar | 10:43 |
| daftykins | sysop2: you are not helping by fighting advice. | 10:44 |
| sysop2 | its not good advice. wget -c is a much better option. | 10:44 |
| eeee | wget is faster | 10:44 |
| daftykins | both achieve the same goal, you are spreading FUD | 10:44 |
| eeee | but for a huge iso rsync is better | 10:44 |
| sysop2 | what proof of that do you have? | 10:45 |
| === PsiOmega is now known as AlphaBeta | ||
| eeee | " OTOH rsync is very clever indeed when you need to correct a very large file | 10:46 |

| syeekick | it does :P | 10:57 |
| syeekick | ¬ going to re map that as my backslash | 10:57 |
| syeekick | wait fack its not backslash i need | 10:58 |
| syeekick | might just switch it to us then lol | 10:58 |

| ktosiek | I want to use it with KDE, so I'd need it compiled with bluez5 too | 11:16 |

| Stannaz | thank you | 11:19 |
| Stannaz | right okay, here's an issue I've had for a while, I was going to test out other launchers (xfce), googled around, and ended up installing xubuntu-desktop - after things not really working, I uninstalled, however my login screen is gnome becuase my ubuntu-desktop wasn't working, so I installed gnome in another ctrl-alt terminal, how would I change it back to the ubuntu desktop without having an unloggable in computer agai | 11:23 |
| Stannaz | n? | 11:23 |
| Stannaz | tl;dr, login screen is gnome, ubuntu-desktop login appears broken, how do I change | 11:23 |

| Stannaz | I tried that | 11:27 |
| Stannaz | didn;t work | 11:27 |

| eeee | is it your only pc? | 11:30 |
| Stannaz | I have others | 11:30 |
| Stannaz | yes | 11:30 |
| eeee | you can use irssi in the terminal to get back on irc if you can only access a tty | 11:31 |
| Stannaz | this is a dual boot with win7, win7 purely for gaming | 11:31 |

| Stannaz | I'll try that now before i reboot | 11:31 |
| cheqisurl | win7 purely for gaming | 11:31 |
| Stannaz | yes | 11:31 |
| Stannaz_ | there we go | 11:32 |
| Stannaz_ | okay, going to reboot, thank you | 11:33 |
| Stannaz | okay, rebooted, login screen is still GNOME | 11:36 |
| eeee | Stannaz: ok, i think the gnome login is gdm | 11:36 |
| sydney | yes... | 11:36 |

| Stannaz_ | Hello | 12:00 |
| marjan_ | hmm | 12:00 |
| Quatroking | Does anybody know an alternative to Synergy that works on both windows and linux and doesn't have an awful bug regarding the shift key? | 12:07 |
| eeee | "' | 12:08 |
| Quatroking | '"? | 12:08 |
| Stannaz_ | http://alternativeto.net/software/synergy/ | 12:08 |
| Quatroking | Stannaz_, none of them seem to support linux | 12:09 |
| === szsocial is now known as new_HOSTINGandVP | ||
| Stannaz_ | good point, didn't really look at that | 12:09 |
| Stannaz_ | http://www.share-mouse.com/ | 12:09 |
| Quatroking | other than vnc but vnc isn't what I'm looking for | 12:09 |
| Stannaz_ | yeah, I gathered | 12:09 |
| Quatroking | and sharemouse is only for mac and windows :( | 12:09 |
| Stannaz_ | o shit wow | 12:09 |
| Stannaz_ | is language allowed here | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | Stannaz_, language! | 12:10 |
| Quatroking | haha | 12:10 |
| Stannaz_ | I assume not | 12:10 |
| Stannaz_ | I do apologise | 12:10 |
| === new_HOSTINGandVP is now known as HOSTINGandVPS | ||
| Quatroking | I wish I was a super programmer, then I'd just fork synergy and fix the bug myself | 12:12 |
| __unik | Quatroking: #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:12 |
| Stannaz_ | I assume you've tried searching for solutions online? | 12:12 |
| Stannaz_ | to specifically the shift bug? | 12:12 |
| Quatroking | Yeah, requires removing security updates on windows that I don't even have installed | 12:12 |
| Quatroking | oh well guess I'll have to live with it | 12:13 |
| Stannaz_ | hm | 12:13 |
| Stannaz_ | appears so | 12:13 |
| Quatroking | lets try a different question that I've been asking for the past couple days to different people but haven't gotten a workable answer for yet | 12:14 |
| Stannaz_ | go ahead | 12:14 |
| Quatroking | On my laptop, I want to have the screen turn off after 5 minutes of activity. this can be easily done in the brightness settings. But I want this only to happen when running on battery power. | 12:14 |
| Quatroking | In windows this is a simple matter of enabling some options in the current power plan, but ubuntu doesn't seem to have anything like it | 12:15 |
| Stannaz_ | yeah | 12:15 |
| Quatroking | it's probably very possible but I have no idea how | 12:15 |
| Stannaz_ | looking around | 12:15 |
| Stannaz_ | http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/change-screen-dimming-timeout-ubuntu-13-04-laptop/ | 12:16 |
| Stannaz_ | not sure if this is actually right, but it has a battery setting too | 12:16 |
| Stannaz_ | I believe you have to install dconf Editor | 12:17 |
| Quatroking | I think that's just changing the brightness down when on critical power | 12:17 |
| Stannaz_ | hm | 12:17 |
| Quatroking | which is a setting I do have enabled, but is not what I'm missing | 12:17 |
| Stannaz_ | yeah, my bad | 12:18 |
| Quatroking | lets install dconf editor either way, see what it has to offer | 12:18 |
| Stannaz_ | looks like it has quite a few options | 12:19 |
| Stannaz_ | well good luck with that | 12:19 |
| Stannaz_ | that wasn't sarcasm actually, sounded like it | 12:19 |
| Quatroking | heh | 12:20 |
| Quatroking | well it doesn't seem to have the options we're looking for | 12:21 |
| Stannaz_ | hm | 12:21 |
| Quatroking | it's all just variables you can set through the power settings | 12:21 |
| Stannaz_ | not directly related | 12:21 |
| Stannaz_ | http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/enable-laptop-mode-and-other-tweaks-to.html | 12:21 |
| Stannaz_ | but may be of interest | 12:21 |
| Quatroking | looks pretty interesting but doesn't involve the screen | 12:22 |
| Quatroking | a ram drive is probably something I could really use though | 12:22 |
| Stannaz_ | there's solutions for dimming the screen while on battery, but again, doesn't appear to have timeout | 12:23 |
| Quatroking | got 4gb in the thing but barely ever make use of everything | 12:23 |
| Stannaz_ | you gotta be careful with ramdisks tho as you may already know | 12:23 |
| Quatroking | oh I'm not talking about dimming by the way, I'm talking about turning it off altogether | 12:23 |
| Quatroking | I may already know, I use one on my windows desktop, but elaborate? | 12:24 |
| asanchez1987 | Hello. How could I downgrade OpenGL version from Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3 to 2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04? | 12:24 |
| Stannaz_ | oh, yeah, you do then, I just meant about power cuts and the fact that it's voliatile memory | 12:24 |
| Quatroking | yeah okay | 12:24 |
| eeee | Quatroking: am i having a dejavu? | 12:24 |
| Quatroking | eeee, totally! | 12:24 |
| krasnayarsk | ping | 12:24 |
| Stannaz_ | yes, he's asking the question as he failed to get an answer previously | 12:25 |
| Quatroking | but different people every day so it's always worth a try | 12:25 |
| eeee | Quatroking: didn't you ask that yesterday? | 12:25 |
| Quatroking | Yes I did, and we didn't come to a solution | 12:25 |
| eeee | i thought we did | 12:25 |
| Quatroking | it ended up not working | 12:25 |
| eeee | if you set it to never dim, and leave the "dim to save power" it will dim after 1min or so when on battery | 12:25 |
| eeee | Quatroking: what do you mean by not working? | 12:26 |
| Quatroking | I may have asked wrong yesterday if you're thinking about dimming: I want the screen to turn off after inactivity, not dim | 12:26 |
| eeee | Quatroking: did you check gsettings list-recursively | grep brightness ? | 12:27 |
| Quatroking | lemme make a screenshot of the feature | 12:27 |
| eeee | Quatroking: there is org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30 | 12:28 |
| eeee | try to set it to 0 | 12:28 |
| Quatroking | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8545544/ | 12:28 |
| eeee | gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 0 | 12:28 |
| eeee | hold on, testing it | 12:28 |
| Quatroking | isn't that dimming | 12:28 |
| Quatroking | eeee, Stannaz_, the "Turn screen off when inactive for" setting: http://i.imgur.com/F5GWXHL.png | 12:34 |
| Quatroking | This is only global, there doesn't seem to be a way to make it battery-only | 12:35 |
| Quatroking | If you want, I got two another issues that are also brain-breaking? | 12:37 |
| Quatroking | :D | 12:37 |
| ircnode0 | somebody know a package with which I can search for terminology of linux operation system? e.g. magic_dictionary tasklets or magic_dictionary scheduler? | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | ircnode0, yep. man man | 12:39 |
| ircnode0 | No manual entry for tasklets. No manual entry for scheduler | 12:40 |
| eeee | Quatroking: dconf-editor says about it: This is the laptop panel screen brightness used when the session is idle. | 12:40 |
| Tiberios | anyone familiar with using virtualbox on 14.04? | 12:41 |
| eeee | Quatroking: try to set it really low. | 12:41 |
| Quatroking | alright lets try that | 12:41 |
| facepalm | Tiberious, likely, just ask. | 12:42 |
| Tiberios | got an issue where I want to auto start my headless vm. all the faqs say I should use vboxautostart but that doesn't exist on my server.... | 12:42 |
| Quatroking | eeee, no.. that's for dimming | 12:43 |
| Quatroking | the option I'm talking about turns off the display after inactivity | 12:43 |
| Quatroking | it doesn't dim, it goes off | 12:43 |
| eeee | Quatroking: if you lower the brightness beyond a certain level, the screen goes off. | 12:44 |
| rubiksmomo | How do I get Unison working with FTP? http://pastebin.com/WgTPDncY | 12:44 |
| Quatroking | really? | 12:44 |
| eeee | try to manually lower it, it should turn off | 12:45 |
| Quatroking | Okay, I've put idle-brightness on 0 | 12:45 |

| cheqisurl | tar -cvf archive.tar | 12:47 |
| elohimswagger | Well, I tried but I don't think I have the path right maybe? | 12:48 |
| Stannaz_ | what happens? | 12:48 |
| elohimswagger | It's on desktop of a live boot. | 12:48 |
| elohimswagger | Obviously in a dedicated dir. | 12:48 |
| Stannaz_ | start terminal, cd Desktop, tar -xvf archive.tar | 12:49 |
| Stannaz_ | done? | 12:49 |
| Stannaz_ | what doesn't work in that process | 12:49 |
| eeee | elohimswagger: what's the filename? | 12:49 |
| elohimswagger | Rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz | 12:50 |
| Stannaz_ | gunzip | 12:50 |
| eeee | elohimswagger: ok right click and press extract | 12:50 |
| Stannaz_ | gunzip Rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz | 12:50 |
| Stannaz_ | or that | 12:50 |
| eeee | elohimswagger: or tar -xzvf Rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz | 12:50 |
| elohimswagger | I had a problem with this before with both tar and gunzip. | 12:51 |
| === eugen is now known as Guest74805 | ||
| elohimswagger | And when I was successful, it didn't untar to the dir. | 12:51 |
| Stannaz_ | so navigating to the directory it's in, then doing gunzip filename.tar.gz didn't work | 12:52 |
| Stannaz_ | ? | 12:52 |
| rubiksmomo | Why does Unison throw "Error in renaming" while trying to sync over FTP? http://pastebin.com/WgTPDncY | 12:53 |
| elohimswagger | I navigated and I put the right path in but it returns no such file or dir. | 12:54 |
| Basketball | hey | 12:54 |
| Wulframn | elohimswagger: no such file or directory for the directory you're navigating to? | 12:54 |
| Quatroking | eeee, that's a nope | 12:54 |
| Quatroking | it only dimmed | 12:55 |
| elohimswagger | I got it to return a file list once in verbose mode even though it didn't untar to the right dir. | 12:55 |
| Quatroking | and not even on all displays, the external display is still on 100% because it can't control that one | 12:55 |
| elohimswagger | I can't recall what I did to make it work. | 12:55 |
| Quatroking | oh! | 12:56 |
| eeee | Quatroking: if you type in a terminal echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | eeee, it just went entirely black! | 12:56 |
| eeee | what happens? | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | okay, so now it first dims, and then it goes black | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | seems about right | 12:56 |
| eeee | Quatroking: is the battery low right now? | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | no | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | 99% | 12:56 |
| eeee | ok | 12:56 |
| Quatroking | lets plug the AC back in and see if it all stays on | 12:57 |
| elohimswagger | Hmm, the path should be root/Home/Desktop/winrar/rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz | 12:59 |
| elohimswagger | Still not working. | 12:59 |
| eeee | elohimswagger: when you say root/Home | 12:59 |

| paulcsiki | Hello everyone | 13:10 |
| Nexia | hi | 13:11 |
| paulcsiki | I've messed up my partition table on a VM with ubuntu 14 lts | 13:11 |
| Wulframn | paulcsiki: details | 13:11 |
| paulcsiki | I still have access to the machine via bootable ubuntu disk but I don't know how to fix it | 13:11 |
| eeee | paulcsiki: no screenshot? | 13:11 |
| frib | I installed the driver for a wifi epson 3540 but can't get the prtiner to install via settings panel. what should I do? | 13:11 |
| eeee | i mean, snapshot | 13:11 |
| paulcsiki | I removed the sda2 partition and the VM is trying to boot from lvm from /dev/mapper but initrd cannot find it | 13:12 |
| paulcsiki | I still have a copy of the fdisk -l /dev/sda before I messed things up | 13:12 |
| paulcsiki | @eee you want a screenshot of the emergency shell that initrd drops me to? | 13:12 |
| eeee | paulcsiki: man sfdisk | 13:13 |
| Nexia | My piglet is this: I installed Ubuntu 14.04 a few weeks ago, and then installed the KDE DE as a second environment. Long story short: Recently KDE fucked up, and I can't boot into unity or KDE, one hangs for 5 seconds and returns to login screen, the other hangs after logging in. | 13:13 |
| eeee | paulcsiki: no, i was asking if you had a snapshot of the VM | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, language ... | 13:13 |
| paulcsiki | @eeee no snapshot unfortunately | 13:13 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: oh, my apologies :P | 13:13 |
| paulcsiki | @eeee I still have access to the old partition layout (start and end of partitions) but I don't know how to recreate the lvm so that the initrd can mount it at startup | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | !pureubuntu | Nexia, leean out kde. you can still boot to terminal, yes? | 13:14 |
| ubottu | Nexia, leean out kde. you can still boot to terminal, yes?: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu | 13:14 |
| eeee | paulcsiki: man sfdisk , you can modify the partition table with it | 13:14 |
| paulcsiki | @eeee this was my old partition layout: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8545831/ | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, *clean* | 13:14 |
| Nexia | In any case, the kubuntu guys told me that if I really liked Kubuntu, I should re-install linux with Kubuntu instead. So now I'm stuck trying to uninstall ubuntu and things. Does anyone have a nice recommendation for backing up my files? | 13:15 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: Yes, I can. | 13:15 |
| paulcsiki | @eeee I already did that but after restoring the old partition layout sda1 and sda2 I still don't get back the sda5 which was the lvm | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, uninstall? no. | 13:15 |
| Quatroking | so yeah, eeee, that didn't work :( | 13:15 |
| Nexia | I'm getting "access denied" errors tho when trying to connect to a network in the ubuntu login screen | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, if you choose to reinstall, just select your your existing ubuntu partition for your new OS target | 13:15 |
| Nexia | and trying to do network manager in terminal .... | 13:15 |
| eeee | Quatroking: odd that it turns the screen off even when plugged in | 13:16 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: Oh, that's possible? | 13:16 |
| AR45 | what version of gnome is in ubuntu? | 13:16 |
| Quatroking | maybe the laptop just doesn't give a damn and is anarchistic | 13:16 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: I've got weird errors beside that issue anyway, and it makes sense to actually install Kubuntu for real this time. | 13:16 |
| cfhowlett | AR45, in ubuuntu? none. in ubuntu-gnome ... | 13:16 |
| Quatroking | oh hell now it keeps turning off even after I reverted the changes | 13:16 |
| eeee | Quatroking: do you have dconf-editor ? you could mess around with when it starts to dim the screen and stuff | 13:17 |
| Quatroking | yeah I used dconf-editor | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, you've already got partitions. just recycle them for kuubuntu | 13:17 |
| eeee | Quatroking: yeah i think that's due to something else | 13:17 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: but format them first before doing them, right? | 13:17 |
| Nexia | using them* | 13:17 |

| eeee | paulcsiki: testdisk , maybe? | 13:17 |
| AR45 | Guys which ppa has gnome 3.14? | 13:17 |
| Nexia | K, makes sense, I didn't want to have any old trace of ubuntu ... | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, formatting will wipe it | 13:18 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: one more thing, is it possible to backup my files from within the Kubuntu live cd itself? | 13:18 |
| Nexia | or live usb, which I am going to use. | 13:18 |
| paulcsiki | @eeee installing it now | 13:18 |
| Nexia | I don't know how to backup files from the Ubuntu terminal. | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | Nexia, possible if you made save space when you created the USB. | 13:18 |
| OerHeks | AR45, no ppa for 14.04, wait for 14.10 release in 2 weeks | 13:19 |
| Nexia | cfhowlett: well ok, and is it possible to connect another USB drive while attempting to back up? | 13:19 |
| eeee | Nexia: yes | 13:19 |

| paulcsiki | eeee, TJ-: The disk did get extended but I don't know how to extend my LVM | 13:34 |
| paulcsiki | eeee, TJ-: I followed some guide on the internet which caused a great disaster :( | 13:34 |
| TJ- | paulcsiki: If a partition is assigned to LVM, it is a Physical Volume (PV). That is attached to only one Volume Group (VG). If the PV grows the VG should see that new size and show additional extends free. You can then 'lvextend' or 'lvresize' a Logical Volume (LV) and then resize the file-system inside it if required | 13:36 |
| TJ- | paulcsiki: "vgdisplay" will list, amongst other things, the number of size of Free Extents in the VG(s) | 13:37 |

| dimitrovskif | Hi guys, I had a TCP socket open and somebody connected. Is there any network history, so I can see the IP? | 15:52 |

| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, terminal would not capture websearch history. it WILL capture terminal commands | 15:52 |
| ubuntu556 | its not capturing my websearch history. it is capturing what i am writing | 15:53 |

| ubuntu556 | then how did this get here then? | 15:53 |
| ubuntu556 | it only lasted for a day | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, look for a hidden file in your /home = .bash_history | 15:55 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, I would be be shocked to see any non-terminal content there. | 15:55 |
| ubuntu556 | cfhowlett: 814 lines, and around 511 lines i have written :/ | 15:57 |
| ubuntu556 | all the 511 lines that isnt commands were from yesterday | 15:57 |
| ubuntu556 | cfhowlett: the last thing i wrote was sudo lightdm start | 15:58 |
| ubuntu556 | before my text started happening | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, lightdm wouldn't log all content in that manner | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, I'd suspect you enabled some kind of logging app but I'm on xubuntu so ... different system spec | 15:59 |
| ubuntu556 | i remember unity freezing up> so ipress ctrl + F11 and wrote that, sudo lightdm start. then it had LOGGED everything i had typed on my keyboard until i shutdown the system | 15:59 |
| ubuntu556 | so something about me typing sudo lightdm start...made it log down my keystrokes.. does that make sense? | 15:59 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, gotta show us at least partial logs of what you're seeing. | 15:59 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, no that make NO sense. | 16:00 |
| ubuntu556 | ok give me a sec | 16:00 |
| ubuntu556 | where can i paste? | 16:00 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, imgur | 16:00 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, why ctrl-f11??? | 16:01 |
| ubuntu556 | cfhowlett: because when unity freezes i restart from ctr+f1... http://paste.ubuntu.com/8546728/ | 16:03 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu556, f1 or f11 as you posted earlier? | 16:03 |
| ubuntu556 | i think it is ctrl +alt + f1 | 16:03 |
| ubuntu556 | that is just example what it says in my history... some lines are just long long long of me typing stuff | 16:04 |

| AlexPortable | OerHeks: the disk image is 500 gb, the partition image is 260 gb, the target disk is 160 gb. there is 30 gb used on the partition image | 17:48 |
| AlexPortable | so there is no need for 500 gb to be stored on 160 gb | 17:49 |

| ecky--ptang-zoob | Hi guys, I am trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 8 - when i chose that option it only lets me pick an external drive letter, not the drive that windows is on | 17:55 |
| ecky--ptang-zoob | even though I partitioned that drive | 17:55 |
| ecky--ptang-zoob | How can I keep windows and make a partition for ubuntu with the installer? | 17:55 |
| ecky--ptang-zoob | it lets me change the size of the partition windows is on, but will that erase it? | 17:55 |
| bastidrazor | ecky--ptang-zoob: it is advised to resize a windows partition with windows before doing a dual boot install. | 17:58 |
| ZieLonKa | Hi, I am currently using Ubuntu server 14.04 on 2nd computer. Previously this computer ran Win2012 Server, which I did not shut down properly, because I knew I'd format the HDD. Now I want to mount a NTFS partition (different physical hdd), which was also in use by Windows, but I can't (The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state...), even with 'ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile'. After remounting | 17:58 |
| ZieLonKa | read-only, I checked whether there is a hiberfil.sys and there is none. What can I do to mount the NTFS partition with read/write? | 17:58 |
| ZieLonKa | I dont have windows installed anymore, so I can't boot and shut down properly ;( | 18:00 |
| maujhsn | ecky--ptang-zoob Windows eight is the problems perhaps you should downgrade to Windows 7 to install Ubuntu. | 18:00 |
| AlexPortable | So what would be the best I can do? | 18:01 |

| labsin | ubuntu678, How do you know they are saved? | 18:10 |
| ubuntu678 | because i can view them | 18:10 |

| ecky--ptang-zoob | Is your monitor plugged in? | 18:10 |
| ZieLonKa | anyone who can help me? any kind of help appreciated | 18:10 |
| labsin | ubuntu678, In a file? | 18:11 |
| ubuntu678 | yess | 18:11 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: try ps -aux and look for anything with "key", "log" or "logger" in the name. | 18:12 |
| labsin | ubuntu678, Open a terminal and try 'lsof <file>' | 18:12 |
| AlexPortable | I want to reinstall ubuntu on a new system but keep my settings and programs | 18:12 |
| AlexPortable | how can i do this? | 18:12 |
| Zaitzev | AlexPortable: You are asked if you want to keep it when reinstalling | 18:13 |
| ubuntu678 | the file is bash_history | 18:13 |
| AlexPortable | no i mean | 18:13 |
| Zaitzev | what :D | 18:13 |
| AlexPortable | not reinstall on the same disk | 18:13 |
| AlexPortable | also if i do this; gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop where does it stores this? | 18:13 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: bash_history is not a keylogger other than keeping a history log of your input in a terminal | 18:14 |
| AlexPortable | also start menu entries are sved on a per user base? | 18:14 |
| AlexPortable | and other program configuration thgs | 18:14 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: You can turn it off completely by typing: shopt -u -o history | 18:14 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: it has all my conversations..everything i typed.. all my password logins | 18:15 |
| zergut | Good day, how to monitor traffic in Ubuntu? | 18:15 |
| simonor | AlexPortable: you need a portable drive;image your current installation using Clonezilla. Flash to the new drive. Adjust the new drive using GParted. | 18:15 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: uh, ok. that's a bit more worrying | 18:15 |
| OerHeks | ubuntu678, hoax, bash does not record passwords | 18:15 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: i imaged by current installation with clonezila, but i can't restore it | 18:15 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: i know, but it has all the text every key i wrote yesterday | 18:16 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: the original harddisk was 500 gb, the destination harddisk is 160 gb | 18:16 |
| simonor | AlexPortable: Is the target drive big enough? | 18:16 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: appears as it started when i did "sudo lightdm start" | 18:16 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: Reopen the file and see if it has logged anything you've written these past minutes | 18:16 |
| ubuntu678 | i cannot shutdown my computer either | 18:16 |
| ZieLonKa | Hi, I am currently using Ubuntu server 14.04 on 2nd computer. Previously this computer ran Win2012 Server, which I did not shut down properly, because I knew I'd format the HDD.

After remounting | 18:17 |
| ZieLonKa | read-only, I checked whether there is a hiberfil.sys and there is none. What can I do to mount the NTFS partition with read/write? | 18:17 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: it appears to have stopped when i shut off my computer yesterday. so sofar today no logs | 18:17 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: no | 18:17 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: but i only used 30 gb on the 500 gb disk | 18:17 |
| simonor | AlexPortable: If you can, shrink the source before imaging. | 18:17 |
| AlexPortable | how? | 18:17 |
| ubuntu678 | i cant press ctrl + alt + f1 , cant shutdown computer , it just makes me stuck on lock screen | 18:18 |
| AlexPortable | also I don't need all partitions i backed up | 18:18 |
| simonor | GParted live. | 18:18 |
| AlexPortable | you mean live usb with ubuntu and then start gparted? | 18:18 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: please help | 18:18 |
| AlexPortable | wait you mean theoriginal hdd | 18:18 |
| AlexPortable | no i can't\ | 18:18 |
| AlexPortable | i can only shrink the image if needed | 18:18 |
| simonor | No. Download Gparted live iso and burn to disk. | 18:18 |
| ubuntu678 | how is it even possible....that everything i have written on my keyboard is saved in bash history? is this some serious bug | 18:19 |
| AlexPortable | also every time i try something in clonezilla something is wrong , it' s either GPT source and MBR destination, or disk space issue | 18:19 |
| AlexPortable | then do what? | 18:19 |
| AlexPortable | ubuntu678: maybe you ran some program that doesthat | 18:19 |
| simonor | Alex, you need another disk to flash to. Then shrink that one instead of the 'master'. | 18:20 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: It's not supposed to happen | 18:20 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: and then create a new backup? | 18:20 |
| ubuntu678 | if i could run ctrl + alt + f1 and type lightdm start i could probably replicate this issue | 18:20 |
| ubuntu678 | but i cannot anymore | 18:20 |
| AlexPortable | how big should the other disk be? | 18:20 |
| zergut | how to monitor network in the system? | 18:20 |
| simonor | AlexPortable:Yes. | 18:21 |
| Wollie88 | zergut, what do you want to monitor | 18:21 |
| ubuntu678 | am i first person to have this issue on ubuntu ? | 18:21 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: probably not since keyloggers do exist | 18:21 |
| simonor | zergut:ettercap | 18:22 |
| AlexPortable | Zaitzev:they do exist | 18:22 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| zergut | Wollie88: Amount | 18:22 |
| zergut | simonor: Thank you | 18:22 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: like I said, check your processes for anything with names related to key/logger | 18:22 |
| AlexPortable | simonor: then clone which images? all? | 18:22 |
| ubuntu678 | zaitzev i have an idea. what is it called when i press ctrl + shift + f1 ? because when i wrote lightdm start. it might have not shutdown that "non gui terminal mode" and whenever i wrote something in the desktop, it was written into the same terminal mode. including my commands. sounds reasonable ? | 18:23 |
| simonor | zergut:You're welcome. | 18:23 |
| massimo | |ciao list | 18:23 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: Pressing it opens a terminal yes, and ctrl+alt+f7 goes back to GUI | 18:24 |
| zergut | simonor: not exactly what im trying to find :D | 18:24 |
| Wollie88 | zergut, zergut you could use nload for that | 18:24 |
| ubuntu678 | Zaitzev: so if i "start" lightdm without it being shutdown. it might somehow get stuck in the fullscreen terminal, yet allow me do as i wish in the GUI, including, browse the internet, chat on skype, etc | 18:25 |
| simonor | AlexPortable: You have an image of the 500. You flash it to a spare 500+ drive. You shrink that drive using GParted to 160-. Then re-image. Flash the new image to your 160. | 18:25 |
| AlexPortable | can i convert from gtp to mbr afterwards? | 18:25 |
| === kamkam_ is now known as l34rn | ||
| bekks | AlexPortable: most liekly no. | 18:26 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: I honestly don't know. Have you tried hard-rebooting (press the button)? | 18:26 |
| l34rn | what affect command "aptitude install -f" | 18:26 |
| ubuntu678 | i wil ldo that | 18:26 |
| zergut | Wollie88: thank you | 18:26 |
| simonor | AlexPortable: Sorry, you're beyond me on that. I wouldn't know. | 18:26 |
| Zaitzev | ubuntu678: but it's still a weird issue with all your input being logged to .bash_history | 18:26 |
| AlexPortable | bekks: so what should i do then? | 18:27 |
| Wollie88 | zergut, no problem | 18:27 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: What do you want to do, actually? | 18:27 |
| AlexPortable | bekks: restore a backup, but clonezila is bitching about x not working and y not owrking | 18:27 |
| Zaitzev | AlexPortable: There's another backup program called TimeShift | 18:27 |
| AlexPortable | well backing up again takes more time i think | 18:28 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: And what are "x" and "y"? | 18:28 |
| AlexPortable | i just want to restore th abackup on my 160 gb driv | 18:28 |
| AlexPortable | why is itso hard | 18:28 |
| Zaitzev | timeshift is more of a system restore program, but I guess the principal stands | 18:28 |
| AlexPortable | well ifi select restordisk image it says that th disk should be 500 gb | 18:28 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: Why is what so hard? | 18:28 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: So your target disk is too smal. Get a bigger disk. | 18:28 |
| kgwgk_ | I've got timeshift .. haven't had to use it ever since installing ... . . | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | andif i selct image to partitions it says there is no partition, then i make a partition | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | then it says partition isn't gtp | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | GPT | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | then i set partition table to gpt on that disk | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | then clonezilla says still too bg | 18:29 |
| AlexPortable | too small* | 18:29 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: GEt a bigger disk. | 18:29 |
| kgwgk_ | how large is your system drive? | 18:30 |
| AlexPortable | the source is 500 gb. the target disk is 160 gb | 18:30 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: The target disk is too small. Get a bigger disk. | 18:30 |
| kgwgk_ | yeah, it's too small for a large-scale backup | 18:30 |
| kgwgk_ | unless you write a script to backup specific things.. | 18:31 |
| kgwgk_ | hmm - does clonezilla archive? | 18:32 |
| === l34rn is now known as Kamkam_Haha | ||
| bekks | kgwgk_: clonezilla clones stuff :) | 18:32 |
| === Kamkam_Haha is now known as L34rn | ||
| kgwgk_ | bekks: ;D | 18:32 |
| AlexPortable | with acronis i would be able to just backup straight away | 18:33 |
| AlexPortable | also i don't have money for a bigger disk | 18:33 |
| kgwgk_ | well, as long as you clone only 159.9GB of your source drive it should be fine :P | 18:33 |
| kgwgk_ | what if you make a partition on your source drive that's exactly the same size as your clone drive ? | 18:34 |
| bekks | AlexPortable: a) you are not using Acronis, so do not complain about not using it b) you want to restore 500GB onto 160GB - which is not possible. | 18:34 |
| simonor | kgwgk_:which brings us back to GParted live. | 18:34 |
| kgwgk_ | ah. i came in late :P | 18:35 |
| === CoreIT84 is now known as Corey84 | ||

| netlar | Searching in the Dash uses Locate right? | 18:40 |
| geirha | netlar: I'm guessing it keeps its own database for that | 18:41 |
| netlar | geirha: Ah, I updated the updatedb.conf, hoping to exclude my dropbox directory from the searches in Dash | 18:42 |
| geirha | normally updatedb does not include directories under /home, since that would allow anyone in the system to use locate to see what files the other users have | 18:42 |
| hulio | hi there | 18:42 |
| hulio | how are you all doing tonight? | 18:42 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: heloo | 18:43 |
| hulio | sometime the windows flash, ist hat the driver issue? | 18:43 |
| hulio | the text flash many time ...is it the display issue? | 18:43 |
| netlar | geirha: The /home directory was not in the PRUNEPATHS in the updatedb.conf file | 18:44 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: could be, what driver are you using ? | 18:44 |
| geirha | netlar: Hm, either it used to in earlier releases or I've always been wrong about that. I see it's included now at least | 18:44 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: er.. what card | 18:44 |
| netlar | geirha: So difficult to get any indepth documentation for Unity and the Dash | 18:44 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, nvidia x64 v.340 from nvidia site | 18:45 |
| hulio | GTX 580 | 18:45 |
| _guest_ | eeee , im downloading graphics card updated drivers too see if compiz works | 18:45 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: I'm running a GTX770 with the 331 drivers | 18:45 |
| hulio | maybe should stick with the ubuntu one? | 18:45 |
| kgwgk_ | yeah, stick with the ubuntu qualified drivers | 18:45 |
| hulio | well how to change back? | 18:45 |
| kgwgk_ | i had trouble running CUDA with the new drivers | 18:45 |
| hulio | download the 331 version? | 18:46 |
| netlar | Everytime I ask questions about Unity , just seems like that is a black hole | 18:46 |

| kgwgk_ | pray? | 18:55 |
| kgwgk_ | probably restart X | 18:55 |
| hulio | you meant reboot the machine? | 18:55 |
| kgwgk_ | or reboot the whole thing | 18:55 |
| kgwgk_ | yeah, probably better | 18:55 |
| hulio | ok | 18:56 |

| cartnam | Hello, does anyone know do I check what mouse polling rate do I have? | 18:57 |
| Giwrgaras | what is the command to execute a file in ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, must better now | 18:58 |
| bastidrazor | Giwrgaras: a service or a file in your current directory? | 18:58 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: awesome | 18:58 |
| Giwrgaras | a file in my donwload folder | 18:58 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, how about my wifi card....use the STA or the vendor one? | 18:58 |
| Giwrgaras | the extention is .deb | 18:58 |
| Giwrgaras | is this the .exe equivalent? | 18:58 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, my last link contain the wifi | 18:58 |
| hulio | can u take a look? i use the STA from ubuntu | 18:58 |
| daftykins | Giwrgaras: those are not executed, they are installed. "sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/file.deb" | 18:58 |
| bubbasaures | Giwrgaras, Why did you download this what is it? | 18:59 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, should i download from the broadcom driver? | 18:59 |
| Giwrgaras | its sublime text | 18:59 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: looks like you're already using the driver | 18:59 |
| hulio | i have DW1510 BCM4322 | 18:59 |
| hulio | is the STA good? | 18:59 |
| daftykins | Giwrgaras: that's not how you install software on Ubuntu btw | 18:59 |
| kgwgk_ | not sure, it's been a while | 18:59 |
| kgwgk_ | is it working? | 18:59 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, it's working fine | 18:59 |
| hulio | leave it alone? | 19:00 |
| kgwgk_ | if it ain't broke don't fix it | 19:00 |
| Giwrgaras | i tried by the sudo apt-get install way but i couldnt find it. And it was not in the "shop" | 19:00 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, so if it working fine..let it be? latest drivers dont' meant shlt right? | 19:00 |
| bastidrazor | Giwrgaras: those advices are correct from the others BUT, sudo dpkg -i DEB_File.deb | 19:00 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: i'd say it's safe to stick to whatever ubuntu set up for you unless it doesn't work | 19:00 |
| hulio | ok | 19:00 |
| EOBeav | The biggest push back I get from Win users when I suggest helping somebody switch to ubuntu: "Are you going to be there to help them troubleshoot?" Actually, as a user of both platforms on a regular basis, I find that both have about the same amount of learning curve. Any updates/upgrades in ubuntu are a matter of giving the machine permission (and entering a password) to do so. In Win, it's done behind the scenes and takes up so much RAM that your ma | 19:00 |
| EOBeav | chine crawls to a halt, making the user what's wrong. A computer set up with ubuntu for basic email, web browsing and office tasks is really pretty simple to use. | 19:00 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, last one....how can i test 3d bench mark? | 19:01 |
| daftykins | bastidrazor: already said that :P | 19:01 |
| hulio | any soft out there? | 19:01 |
| bastidrazor | daftykins: :) i have too many screens open :) | 19:01 |
| kgwgk_ | yeah, there are a few | 19:01 |
| bastidrazor | -o | 19:01 |
| daftykins | EOBeav: this isn't the place for your general chat, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:02 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, if i press CTRL+ALT + F1, and if i want to go back to window, how do i do that? | 19:02 |
| hulio | most of the time i reboot the machine. | 19:02 |
| kgwgk_ | ctrl-alt-f7 should take you back | 19:02 |
| EOBeav | daftykins: You're saying my post wasn't about ubuntu? | 19:02 |
| hulio | let me try | 19:02 |
| SchrodingersScat | EOBeav: it wasn't a ubuntu support question. | 19:02 |
| Giwrgaras | thanks bastidrazor. | 19:02 |
| hulio | oh | 19:02 |
| hulio | what if i stop the lightdm ? | 19:03 |
| daftykins | EOBeav: support only in here. | 19:03 |
| Giwrgaras | btw how do i search for a file in the terminal in order to install it? | 19:03 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: here are some tools http://www.geeks3d.com/gputest/, or you can get the cuda sdk, it has a stress test | 19:03 |
| EOBeav | ok, didn't know that. | 19:03 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: but be careful, I fried a K6000 at work running stress tests :/ | 19:03 |
| hulio | nevermind then. no stress test | 19:03 |
| bastidrazor | Giwrgaras: to install with the package manager, preferred method, use: apt-cache search package-name | 19:04 |
| gnome-of-lawn | I want to overwrite my ubuntu install with ubuntu gnome, but i also have windows 8 and the installer doesn't detect it. What should i do? | 19:04 |
| kgwgk_ | you have to have perfect cooling | 19:04 |
| Giwrgaras | the package manager is the apt-get ? | 19:04 |
| kgwgk_ | if the gpu fan isn't getting enough fresh air, you'll kill it | 19:04 |
| bastidrazor | Giwrgaras: yes | 19:04 |

| Jake | Hi there, I'm having trouble getting an motd to appear when I log into ssh (Ubuntu 14.04) editing /etc/motd worked for 13.10 but no longer works | 19:06 |
| pngo | <daftykins> i'm using ubuntu-touch so not such option. | 19:06 |

| kgwgk_ | hulio: minecraft :P | 19:06 |
| pngo | <daftykins> it was working fine about month ago. | 19:06 |
| hulio | minecraft is not good graphic | 19:06 |
| daftykins | pngo: ... and adb is meant to work with that? you're in the wrong channel, #ubuntu-touch | 19:06 |
| kgwgk_ | hulio: http://sauerbraten.org/ ? | 19:06 |
| gnome-of-lawn | xangua, i wanted a fresh install of ubuntu GNOME | 19:07 |
| kgwgk_ | also, if you install wine, you can run Oblivion & Skyrim on it too | 19:07 |
| SchrodingersScat | hulio: then sure steam is free as in money, and they have several free-to-play linux games. You can also check the software center, it has a games tab. Wide range there. | 19:07 |
| hulio | kgwgk_, thanks, but i would say PC is better on gaming for sure | 19:07 |

| b100s | if exists bd3... and so on then exists diff algorithm | 20:42 |
| b100s | buuut... common db(berkley) format should be the same anyway | 20:42 |
| b100s | thats trouble | 20:42 |

| bubbasaures | !text | bobunkuth look at the text boot | 20:55 |
| ubottu | bobunkuth look at the text boot: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 20:55 |

| frib | what program can i use to edit the contents of a PDF file ? | 21:11 |
| almostnoob | k1l_: The top error messages says "the following signatures could not be verified b/c the public key is not available" | 21:12 |
| reisio | frib: edit in what way | 21:12 |
| frib | reisio, i need to replace one of the pages with a page from another PDF | 21:12 |
| reisio | frib: the way I'd do that is separate them all with pdftk and recombine them all with the substituted page, with pdftk | 21:13 |
| reisio | you could also use gs, though, it's just more involved | 21:13 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/235880/how-to-fix-gpg-in-updater | 21:13 |
| frib | resio ok thx | 21:13 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: the first answers tells how to add those keys, put your missing key hash in there | 21:14 |
| reisio | frib: pdftk foo.pdf burst; cp newpage.pdf existingpage00#.pdf; pdftk *.pdf cat newcombined.pdf | 21:14 |
| reisio | frib: kinda like that | 21:14 |
| reisio | frib: I'm sure there are GUI apps, too, but it'd just waste your time :p | 21:14 |
| almostnoob | k1l_: Thanks, but that doesn't seem to have changed anything for me | 21:19 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: you did "apt-key adv ..."? | 21:20 |
| frib | reisio, thanks, it worked. only problem is the form data doesn't carry over :\ i guess i can fill it out again though | 21:21 |
| almostnoob | k1l_: Yes, I just copy pasted the two lines (seperately) from the answer | 21:21 |
| reisio | frib: ew | 21:21 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: did you exchange the numbers at the end ofthose 2 lines with the numbers mentioned in your error message? | 21:21 |
| frib | actually, i don't think the form data will stay in the file if i email it. will it? | 21:22 |
| frib | i.e. using okular | 21:22 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: if so, run "sudo apt-get update" again | 21:22 |

| Bubo | EriC^^: could it be because I have Ubuntu installed on my second HDD, while I have windows on my first HDD? But the EFI partition is on the first, so it shouldn't be a problem right? | 21:37 |
| k1l_ | almostnoob: seems like you got too many keys in "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d" from all that ppas. so remove some you dont need anymore. after that a sudo -apt-get udpate should work | 21:38 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: you need to switch the efi files | 21:38 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: it's cause the bios is hardcoded to boot only windows' efi | 21:38 |

| === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] | ||
| Bubo | EriC^^: There is a Windows boot manager option in the grub menu | 22:02 |
| EriC^^ | cause grub still thinks windows is using the .efi file | 22:02 |
| modelengine | reisio, i have saved on a usb the following: Mail folder, Extension folder, and profiles.ini file | 22:02 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: i know, but it won't work unless you tell grub the file is .efi.backup | 22:03 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: alright go | 22:03 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: well you can modify it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:03 |
| EriC^^ | but when you install a new kernel, or update-grub it will disappear | 22:04 |
| modelengine | reisio, it's strange, b/c in the past all I have done is saved the profiles.ini file and then dropped it into the same directory as the new profiles. ini file is in. | 22:04 |
| EriC^^ | there's a file that grub uses which you can modify and that would let it work after updating or installing new kernels, without having to edit the file again | 22:04 |
| reisio | modelengine: I doubt a file named profiles.ini is much use | 22:04 |
| reisio | modelengine: IME you need to backup the directory in ~/.mozilla | 22:04 |
| reisio | or wherever the profile dir is on whatever OS you start from | 22:05 |
| EriC^^ | i can't remember where it is though :) i tried to grep -r , for it but nothing showed up | 22:05 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: so type gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:05 |
| EriC^^ | ( to modify it manually ) | 22:06 |
| modelengine | reisio, crap, that means that ALL of my emails that i needed so much are completely gone forever. | 22:06 |
| modelengine | I started from ubuntu 13.1 | 22:06 |
| reisio | modelengine: why're they gone? | 22:07 |
| modelengine | reisio, cuz i performed a fresh clean install and installed 14.04 | 22:08 |
| pmenon | guys, I've upgraded to trust LTS but my kernel is still 3.5, how do I get an odler version of linux-tools for my kernel ? | 22:08 |

| reisio | modelengine: data might still be there, but it could be tedious to get at it | 22:08 |
| modelengine | reisio, :( | 22:08 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: it gives me wrong password when I enter my sudo password | 22:08 |
| reisio | modelengine: how large is this profiles.ini file? | 22:08 |
| modelengine | reisio, probably just have to see if I can pull them off the pop server....the prof.ini file is 94bytes | 22:09 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: is num lock on? | 22:09 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: yes | 22:09 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: numlock off fixed it. what, why? | 22:10 |
| reisio | modelengine: yeah, I doubt there's much email saved in a 94 byte file | 22:11 |
| modelengine | reisio, ok, thank you for your time and help. I appreciate it. | 22:12 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: if you weren't using the numpad to enter numbers i guess it's just that the password was wrong the first time | 22:12 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: i entered it 3 times, it wasn't wrong | 22:13 |
| peyam | is there anyway to know what maximum resolution my screen can show in hdmi , without testing it with a hdmi cable? | 22:13 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: does your pass use a number? | 22:14 |
| reisio | peyam: look it up on the gpu manufacturer's website | 22:14 |
| daftykins | peyam: LCD screens have a finite number of pixels. that is the maximum resolution. | 22:14 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: no. But as soon as I turned off numlock and entered it, it worked | 22:14 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: odd | 22:14 |
| Bubo | EriC^^: nevermind that, let's continue with the grub conf | 22:14 |
| reisio | I think he's worried about the graphics device's limitations, not the screen's | 22:14 |
| peyam | reisio, i was more instressted if there is anycomand that shows it | 22:14 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: ok, press ctrl+f , and search for bootmgfw | 22:14 |
| peyam | reisio, the screen. i got a monitor with a hdmi port. | 22:15 |
| Bubo | alright, found it EriC^^ | 22:15 |
| reisio | peyam: well presumably you want to know because you don't think the software is getting it right | 22:15 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo: you should get something like chainloader .... bootmgfw.efi | 22:15 |
| reisio | so relying on more software to figure it out might not be ideal :p | 22:15 |
| EriC^^ | replace bootmgfw.efi with bootmgfw.efi.backup | 22:15 |
| peyam | reisio, im using dvi now. just wanted to know what reolution is would have before I test it. | 22:15 |

| somebody | Good night. I'd like a qualified opinion on how large SSD drive do you need to house the system partition on Ubuntu. | 23:01 |
| somebody | I am considering a Lenovo IdeaPad option with 8 Gb SSD, but I have my doubts about it's sufficiency. Any comments? | 23:02 |
| AR45 | somebody, well my entire desktop takes up 3GB with all applications and files. | 23:02 |
| AR45 | but this is from a minimal install | 23:03 |
| somebody | AR45: This sounds quite minimal. Do you even use a window manager? :p | 23:03 |
| bonesTdog | sombody - have you looked at the System76 machines? I bought a Kudu and am loving it. Great machine. | 23:04 |
| reisio | bonesTdog: they seem expensive | 23:04 |
| somebody | bonesTdog: Yes, I did and they are very nice, but 14" looks quite expensive for my current budget. | 23:05 |
| bonesTdog | reisio - true-pricey. I see it as a one-time in 5+ years expense and loving the easy hardware for Linux. | 23:06 |
| bonesTdog | I guess it is more for less.... | 23:06 |
| AR45 | somebody, http://imgur.com/tZS027V | 23:06 |
| reisio | probably more worthwhile to figure out how to install drivers :p | 23:06 |
| reisio | but yeah | 23:06 |
| reisio | if you can afford a thing, that's always simpler | 23:07 |
| bonesTdog | sombody-yea, realized the 8gb SSD comment and realized my comment didn't make sense. | 23:07 |
| somebody | AR45: Thank you, I'll take that for a "yes". :) | 23:07 |
| somebody | bonesTdog: No, they are great machines. | 23:07 |
| bonesTdog | Wrestled with drivers for years on my HP, and support for my Radeon 4650 was practically impossible as the years went on. | 23:08 |
| AR45 | Eh.. I rather build it myself... | 23:08 |
| AR45 | Laptops are boring... | 23:08 |
| bonesTdog | AR45-definitely difficult to build and mess with hardware. | 23:08 |
| AR45 | bonesTdog, actually it's like legos for computer nerds | 23:09 |
| AR45 | bonesTdog, pretty simple if you ask me | 23:10 |
| AR45 | bonesTdog, these system76 laptops have better specs than macbooks and they cost around the same price | 23:10 |
| bonesTdog | My cheap computers all came off of Craigslist. Bought a bunch of older machines for $50-100 that I can mess with. | 23:10 |
| somebody | AR45: I agree in the sense that I would much rather buy System76 than a Macbook, but there is a lot happening under that price range as well in the world. :p | 23:11 |
| reisio | AR45: yeah, but macs are about a 200% market, so anything the same price should really be twice as good | 23:11 |
| * reisio just got a $150 chromebook (which will soon have proper GNU/Linux on it) | 23:11 | |
| bonesTdog | AR45-Yea, supporting the "expensive" comment. :P | 23:11 |

| reisio | who needs docks when you're that rich | 23:12 |

| reisio | no not the pixel | 23:13 |
| AR45 | what's the point of the pixel man... | 23:13 |
| somebody | So, can anyone offer a "yes" or "no" opinion on a 8 Gb Ubuntu installation that is a bit outside of minimal, given that I am going to be using said partition purely for system-related things? | 23:14 |
| reisio | to ruin another word, I guess | 23:14 |
| reisio | holy hell that's expensive | 23:14 |
| reisio | ...and not meant to use local apps? | 23:14 |
| * reisio rolls eyes | 23:14 | |
| bonesTdog | 8gb should be adequate as long as you keep it light | 23:14 |
| AR45 | somebody, I'd go with a minimal install and build it up. That way you're in control ;) | 23:14 |
| reisio | adequate and sane for the price are different things | 23:14 |
| reisio | plus I meant apps | 23:14 |
| reisio | chromebooks are not meant to run local apps | 23:15 |

| reisio | yeah it has storage | 23:18 |

| XO-Splicer | Wulf: except that one | 23:21 |
| AR45 | XO-Splicer, ye you can install whatever you want on the thing | 23:22 |
| AR45 | XO-Splicer, it's hardware after all it must be configurable | 23:22 |

| AR45 | reisio, full hd display? | 23:25 |

| reisio | AR45: that's the idea | 23:26 |

| AR45 | reisio, overclock it | 23:27 |
| XO-Splicer | somebody: maybe try install it on the ssd and link your data to your home folder | 23:27 |
| reisio | somebody: not really | 23:27 |
| reisio | somebody: a lot of people can't justify the cost of an internet plan that will stream 1080p nicely | 23:27 |
| modelengine | AR45, i dnld'd hexchat, but it doesn't show ubuntu servers in the network list and when i try to add it, it says that maybe i spelled it wrong which i didn't | 23:27 |
| reisio | even less so if you're on a random wifi, as you might be if you're using a laptop | 23:27 |
| AR45 | modelengine, what? | 23:27 |
| trndr | somebody: no, more the fact people have wanted to push is as a standard | 23:27 |
| AR45 | modelengine, the network list is freenode | 23:28 |
| reisio | plus at 1080, you either have a very large laptop, or a very dense set of pixels | 23:28 |
| AR45 | modelengine, i mean the server is frenode | 23:28 |
| bonesTdog | modelengine-on freenode" | 23:28 |
| AR45 | the channel is #ubuntu | 23:28 |
| modelengine | AR45 ok | 23:28 |
| reisio | and most people can't tell the difference in pixel density, I'm sorry :p | 23:28 |
| XO-Splicer | you wont need 1080p on an 11" laptop ^^ | 23:28 |
| somebody | reisio: This might explain it, unfortunately. | 23:29 |
| modelengine | AR45, super got it, tks | 23:29 |
| AR45 | modelengine, np | 23:29 |
| reisio | somebody: it's unfortunate for the price, for those who can tell the difference, yeah :) | 23:29 |
| reisio | if more people wanted it, it'd be cheaper | 23:29 |
| reisio | I will say though | 23:30 |
| somebody | Now, all what is left, is for me to understand the humanity's irrational lust for the glossy screens... | 23:30 |
| reisio | I _can tell_ the difference, but don't really care | 23:30 |
| reisio | it's certainly not worth the extra cost to me, but I'm poor :) | 23:30 |
| XO-Splicer | somebody: cant understand that aswell | 23:30 |
| reisio | somebody: omfg, for real | 23:30 |
| bonesTdog | glossy screens are a nightmare | 23:30 |
| reisio | this chromebook has an ordinary non-glossy screen | 23:30 |
| reisio | and that's a pleasant surprise | 23:30 |
| reisio | of course it has glossy plastic all around it for some reason :p | 23:30 |

| alturic | hey guys, I've got NFS setup on both a client and server and everything seems to be working correctly. However, when I restart the NFS server and once it's rebooted, if I try issuing a ls or even touch blah.blah on the client it seems to hang. After about ~2 minutes of the NFS server being back "up" it works fine though it's just right after boot for the first X minutes it doesn't seem to | 23:32 |
| alturic | "respond". Anyone have any input on what could be causing that? The clients mount the NFS mount via /etc/fstab if that matters at all. | 23:32 |

| _guest_ | reisio , did windows lost their s border? | 23:44 |
| reisio | _guest_: only if you don't do it 100% correctly :) | 23:44 |
| modelengine | squinty, nm figured it out | 23:44 |
| squinty | modelengine: probably a good idea just to add it to your irc clients server list you can then open it from there. or use /server (irc node) | 23:44 |
| _guest_ | reisio , what am i missing? | 23:44 |
| reisio | hulio: probably with growisofs | 23:44 |
| AR45 | modelengine, just type /join #thunderbird in the chat as if you were typing a message to us | 23:44 |
| reisio | _guest_: gtk-window-decorator --replace | 23:45 |
| hulio | reisio, nevermind, i use nero for linux | 23:45 |
| hulio | :) | 23:45 |
| reisio | heh | 23:45 |
| squinty | AR45: thunderbird is not on freenode | 23:45 |
| nwo | nero for linux? | 23:45 |
| hulio | yes | 23:45 |
| hulio | nero burner | 23:45 |
| eridu | Are there any DLNA *controllers* for Ubuntu that can stream to an xbox one? mediatomb, rygel, and minidlna do not work | 23:45 |
| nwo | heck yea! (is it like the old nero or the bloated new school nero?) | 23:45 |
| modelengine | AR45, thanks a bunch | 23:46 |
| SolarisBoy | eridu: ps3mediaserver was what i always used - im not sure if it's in the repos any longer | 23:46 |
| hulio | or image burner | 23:46 |
| eridu | SolarisBoy: it's not, but is it a controller (as in, you select what to play and control the playback on your Ubuntu computer) or a server (the PS3 controls what to play)? | 23:46 |
| _guest_ | reisio , do i run gtk-window-decorator --replace before or on another window? | 23:46 |
| modelengine | I have 2 other questions regarding HexChat (HC), #1: Is there a way to make HC not show users leaving/joining? | 23:47 |
| modelengine | too much spam for me | 23:47 |
| squinty | modelengine: right click on channel button | 23:47 |
| AR45 | modelengine, on your right | 23:47 |
| AR45 | modelengine, I mean left sorry.... | 23:47 |
| AR45 | modelengine, right click the channel | 23:47 |
| nwo | yup. havent used it in a while but i think you right click on the channel name | 23:47 |
| AR45 | modelengine, then go down to settings | 23:48 |
| modelengine | AR45, then 'hide join/part msg'? | 23:48 |
| AR45 | modelengine, :) | 23:48 |
| modelengine | tks | 23:48 |
| AR45 | modelengine, ya np | 23:48 |
| AR45 | modelengine, are you new to linux? | 23:48 |
| modelengine | Question #2: make HC only show colored text when it is specifically addressed to me? | 23:48 |
| AR45 | modelengine, the strip color option in settings | 23:49 |
| modelengine | AR45, been using it for approx 1 year now. tinkered around a bit too much with 13.1 and royally screwed it up. yup, i'm a noob :) | 23:49 |
| squinty | modelengine: check it's settings | 23:49 |
| hulio | reisio, install wine and imgburn | 23:50 |
| hulio | reisio, LOL | 23:50 |
| _guest_ | does xubuntu use gnome? | 23:50 |
| Yrie | _guest_: I suppose you can make xubuntu use gnome | 23:51 |
| hulio | i just hardly believe that ubuntu don't have bluray burning software | 23:51 |
| modelengine | AR45, squinty: I have 3 options in color stripping: messages, scrollback, and topic....? | 23:51 |
| Yrie | _guest_: but I don't see the point of doing so when they come with xfce already | 23:52 |
| modelengine | AR45, Squinty: messages, i presume? | 23:52 |
| nwo | bluray isnt dead yet? i thought physical media was obsolete | 23:52 |
| tremorcontrol | nwo: lol | 23:52 |
| AR45 | modelengine, I'm not sure what you're talking about :[ | 23:52 |
| squinty | hulio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Blu-Ray_Burning | 23:53 |
| bonesTdog | _guest_-there is an Ubuntu Gnome spin already. Better than adding Gnome to Xbuntu | 23:53 |
| modelengine | AR45, trying to get HC to only show colored text when it is specifically addressed to me. | 23:54 |
| B0bsF1sh | I thought Ubuntu's GUI .. the DE (?) was based on Gnome ... ? | 23:54 |
| bonesTdog | That said, my Ubuntu Gnome spin was stuck on 3.10. I messed with the repos to get it to upgrade to 3.12 but still no sight of 3.14 | 23:54 |
| tremorcontrol | B0bsF1sh: Ubuntu DE used to be GNOME, then they made Unity and blessed the world | 23:54 |
| Guest36903 | How does Ubuntu differ from Debian? | 23:55 |
| B0bsF1sh | I didn't realize if I had Unity it was a whole different ballgame | 23:55 |
| bonesTdog | Unity is based on gnome - under the hood womewhere | 23:55 |
| bonesTdog | somewhere | 23:55 |
| tremorcontrol | Unity still comes with a lot of the GNOME tools, so theres that | 23:55 |
| bonesTdog | I love gnome, but don't hate Unity. It's pretty usable once you "give in to the dark side" and just use it. | 23:56 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest18529 | ||
| bonesTdog | and great if you need to buy something from amazon :P | 23:57 |
| AR45 | bonesTdog, it's alright | 23:57 |
| hulio | squinty, i have to use wine and imgburn | 23:58 |
| hulio | squinty, how badly it is lol | 23:58 |
| Digipeng | hey what the difference between apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade? | 23:59 |
| B0bsF1sh | I've set my Ubuntu VM to boot to a text console. If I want a GUI, I run "sudo service lightdm start." That works fine. When I'm done, I want to go back to the text console, so I run "sudo service lightdm stop." That ends the GUI session, but I get a funky-looking black screen that's unusable (no GUI elements, will not take text commands, etc - looks like http://imgur.com/zMAI0Tt). Any tips to get back to a usable text console after shutting do | 23:59 |
| squinty | hulio: if something works, I don't get upset about what particular os or proggie I am using. ;-) | 23:59 |
| modelengine | alrighty, final question, then i'll leave you Einstein's alone :) when I would come on here, everytime there was a msg specfically for me, it would make some sort of audio sound to alert me. doesn't do that n e more, and i have settings set to alert me | 23:59 |
