[00:00] <excelsiora> 0 to remove
[00:00] <excelsiora> 29 not upgraded
[00:00] <excelsiora> should I do sudo apt-get update instead?
[00:00] <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?
[00:01] <Bashing-om> excelsiora: always run -> sudo apt-get update <- before -> sudo apt-get upgrade <- .
[00:02] <excelsiora> just did update, haven't done upgrade, should I do that now?
[00:02] <OerHeks> !bootchart
[00:02] <excelsiora> I'm on 14.04 I don't think it will do anything
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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.
[00:05] <Desperado_> no way to boot sdb from my damn pc?
[00:05] <excelsiora> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542630/
[00:06] <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 !
[00:07] <Desperado_> bashing, explaine i don't understand
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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.
[00:11] <Desperado_> anyone could help me?
[00:12] <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.
[00:13] <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] <Bashing-om> recusion/recursion
[00:14] <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.
[00:16] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: Do you know how to boot manually to grub on sda ? then we see what boots and where to focus attention from grub prompt .
[00:17] <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] <mauro> ciao
[00:19] <Kb50> Guess i will go get a channel list and find another channel to hang on. Night all.
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <Desperado_> yeah i can boot to sda already
[00:21] <Desperado_> the problem is sdb as ever
[00:23] <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)
[00:24] <gharz> squinty: does that mean shares-admin does not work?
[00:24] <squinty> ghartz:  no idea   never heard of it before today.  :)
[00:25] <gharz> squinty: thanks!
[00:25] <squinty> yw
[00:26] <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 ??? .
[00:28] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: I propose to try and boot sdb from the grub prompt of sda ... IF we can boot sdb from sda I will be satisfied that sda config is good.
[00:32] <Snowie> morning all
[00:34] <Snowie> just dropped my hd into a new machine. a newer (yet still old) radeon card r600 chip hd2900. get flickering with the default driver and the whole machine will eventually freeze (moving mouse but no response from desktop). have tried fglrx from repo, from at site as well (both their installer and dpkg). No dice
[00:34] <Snowie> Right now im booted into a default unaccelerated unity. any suggestions on where to start over troubleshooting?
[00:35] <Snowie> 14.04
[00:36] <Snowie> lspci | grep VGA
[00:36] <Snowie> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] R600 [Radeon HD 2900 PRO/XT]
[00:37] <excelsiora> daftykins: sorrry, I'm back, so I need to clean up kernals?
[00:37] <PCLine_> Good evening everyone.
[00:37] <excelsiora> how do I do it?
[00:38] <Snowie> PCLine_: howdy
[00:38] <vertak> I'm having trouble getting sound playing using mpd. I'm using the mpc client, and upon running "mpc status" it shows that I am in fact playing a song, but I hear no sound.
[00:38] <daftykins> excelsiora: kernels yep, so give me a paste in here of "uname -r" first please
[00:38] <vertak> How can I tell if I even have an stereo device attached? I've checked the backside of my machine and the audio jack is in fact plugged in
[00:39] <excelsiora> 3.13.0-36-generic
[00:39] <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 )
[00:40] <excelsiora> synaptic?
[00:40] <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] <Snowie> vertak: im no expert but you could have a look at alsa-mixer from the command line, might give you clues
[00:40] <daftykins> excelsiora: so in a terminal, run "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic linux-image-3.13.0-34-generic linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic"
[00:41] <Snowie> Bashing-om: ouch. yeah i eventually tweaked that the fglrx drivers were legacy. so i guess im troubleshooting the default driver. hmmmm
[00:41] <excelsiora> wow, that's going to free up a lot of space
[00:41] <daftykins> excelsiora: *nod*
[00:42] <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.
[00:43] <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] <Snowie> Bashing-om: if you had to put a percentage on a fresh install of 14.04 with the default driver fixing my flickering freezing problems, what would it be
[00:43] <Snowie> checking now
[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
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <excelsiora> freezes happen when I have a ton of browser tabs/windows and then use some heavy sites typically.
[00:45] <__zug__> Been a little while since I've used Linux. Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't seem to have a screensaver. How do I get get some screensavers?
[00:45] <daftykins> excelsiora: do you have a swap partition?
[00:45] <excelsiora> I think so
[00:46] <daftykins> install pastebinit and run "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit"
[00:46] <daftykins> excelsiora: wouldn't hurt to take a glance at your memory usage from time to time too, if you don't already
[00:46] <daftykins> excelsiora: what system RAM do you have?
[00:46] <excelsiora> what's the command to see disks?
[00:46] <excelsiora>  6GB
[00:47] <excelsiora> df?
[00:47] <waxhead_> any zfs gurus?
[00:47] <excelsiora> I just finished my firm's Linux training, lol
[00:48] <gthank> Is there a way to indicate to upstart *not* to run a job that gets auto-installed?
[00:49] <Bashing-om> Snowie: MY way: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak , sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates , sudo apt-get install dkms , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon , sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sudo update-initramfs -u . // to clean everything up and install open source.
[00:49] <daftykins> excelsiora: i asked you to install pastebinit and run fdisk above
[00:51] <excelsiora> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542789/
[00:51] <Snowie> Bashing-om: ok, thanks. will try that now.
[00:51] <daftykins> excelsiora: hmm, and "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?
[00:52] <Bashing-om> Snowie: It is overkill - but not knowing what is in conflict best wipe all and re-install/re-configure .. come up after reboot on open source .
[00:52] <excelsiora> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8542800/
[00:53] <daftykins> excelsiora: hrmm looks like no. so when your RAM fills up your system chokes and starts to seize up most likely.
[00:53] <Snowie> Bashing-om: hmmm, perhaps... mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’: No such file or directory
[00:54] <daftykins> systems do not have xorg.conf anymore
[00:54] <Bashing-om> Snowie: OK, then that file does not exist, no biggy, continue on.
[00:54] <Snowie> Bashing-om: i was reading you shouldn't need it any longer post 12.01. perhaps i removed it in haste late last nigh
[00:54] <Snowie> Bashing-om: ok, cheers
[00:54] <Bashing-om> Snowie: Some proprietary drivers wull have that file .. not all !
[00:55] <tony_> hey can anyone help me with how people get the bottom bar to look like this http://linuxmint-art.org/content/show.php/Shkiki-Colors-Metacity-Fixed?content=164843
[00:56] <excelsiora> I didn't get a swap when I installed?!
[00:56] <excelsiora> What the heck?!
[00:56] <Snowie> Bashing-om: ok, brb
[00:56] <daftykins> apparently not, looks like you encrypted too
[00:56] <Bashing-om> Desperado_: How ya doing ? not heard from you in some time .
[00:56] <excelsiora> explains me crashing...
[00:56] <excelsiora> easily
[00:57] <excelsiora> but I thought I had one
[00:57] <excelsiora> possibly damaged in a shutdown?
[00:58] <daftykins> excelsiora: what damaged?
[00:58] <excelsiora> What can I do? I can't resize an encrypted partition?
[00:58] <schmiddie> Hi there
[00:58] <daftykins> no ideas there, you wouldn't catch me touching encryption. my cat pics are free for all to see
[00:59] <excelsiora> My meta-meta-data is on a need-to-know basis. :D
[00:59] <Snowie> Bashing-om: so im in accelerated. did get some flickering, but i have this window open. let me open a browser and see if it handles it.
[01:01] <Bashing-om> Snowie: K :( .
[01:02] <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 
[01:03] <daftykins> schmiddie: sounds like a bad driver for the wireless device.
[01:03] <daftykins> schmiddie: keep the language family friendly though please.
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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.
[01:07] <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 .
[01:08] <schmiddie> sure, but afaik its up to date. i've updated it like two weeks ago
[01:08] <camtron> Is there any way to test the progress of building a kernel? My kernel has been compiling for 6 hours, and I'd like to know when it will finish.
[01:08] <schmiddie> let me check if it is
[01:08] <zanukka> can anyone help me set up the menu bar like this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mint-X-Fixed+%28dark+menu%29?content=164842&PHPSESSID=d1e9aa1817d33ed362b6cdb4e70eac44
[01:08] <schmiddie> ... even going to the router-interface takes ages
[01:09] <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"
[01:10] <modelengine> hello, I have a Brother MFC8820D printer and am having one hell of a time installing the drivers. I am running ubuntu 13.1
[01:10] <Snowie> Bashing-om: nope :( right now im in the recovery console. can't get to failsafe x. can't even remember how i got to unaccelerated last time. probs removed all drivers. any suggestions from here? or you reckon im shit out of luck?
[01:10] <daftykins> modelengine: that release is EOL, no longer supported
[01:10] <Desperado_> i'm here! so i have tried to create a chainload for 2 ubuntu install on 2 different HD, but with no luck. At boot in grub it's seems that it not recognized the second usb HD. why?
[01:11] <daftykins> modelengine: someone in here would be happy to help you if you first upgrade to a supported release
[01:11] <relipse> i'm trying to transfer file using filezilla and i keep getting File transfer failed, i chowned it properly and even did chmod 777 on the directory but it keeps failing, any ideas?
[01:11] <modelengine> how do I install the drivers for my print?
[01:11] <modelengine> cool, which release do you recommend?
[01:11] <daftykins> depends on your hardware really
[01:11] <daftykins> can you give a brief rundown of your system specs?
[01:11] <Snowie> modelengine: i think sudo apt-get install cups
[01:12] <daftykins> modelengine: most likely 14.04 though, as it's the newest LTS
[01:12] <daftykins> Snowie: it tends to be a bad idea to assist with EOL releases.
[01:12] <Bashing-om> Snowie: lemme go see what I can find for support for that card (open source) .. I be back.
[01:12] <modelengine> ya for sure.... i7 sandy bridge, 8 gig ddr3 1tb hdd
[01:12] <Snowie> daftykins: missed that. roger
[01:12] <modelengine> 64 bit
[01:12] <modelengine> dell vostro
[01:12] <Snowie> Bashing-om: you rock man, cheers
[01:12] <daftykins> modelengine: yeah i'd backup then give the upgrade a go, then - or clean install if you have the patience
[01:12] <schmiddie> he's running 12.04. with a "broadcom bcm4313802.11bgn"
[01:13] <modelengine> i just clean installed because the nvidia ppa screwed up my whole sys
[01:13] <modelengine> can i just upgrade via terminal?
[01:14] <modelengine> ?
[01:14] <daftykins> schmiddie: ok i'm going to send you a link to check out
[01:14] <daftykins> !broadcom | schmiddie
[01:14] <daftykins> modelengine: yeah try running "do-release-upgrade"
[01:14] <modelengine> right now while on chat?
[01:15] <daftykins> modelengine: sure
[01:15] <modelengine> ok one sec
[01:15] <jcims> hey folks, 14.04 desktop 64 bit has been running fine for a few days on a dell m6700 laptop.  today for some reason, it seems to stop sending packets over wifi after just a few seconds.  it's wps2 personal, same network as before, and i can continue to receive packets via wireshark...i just can't send.  any idears?
[01:15] <jcims> reconnecting restores conenctivity for a few seconds.  no errors that i can see in syslog or dmesg
[01:16] <modelengine> it is doing its' thing. btw i really appreciate you taking the time to help me. thanks :)
[01:17] <daftykins> modelengine: no problem! hope it works out for you. i know it's frustrating not to be able to get to the printer task just yet, but you know how it goes - can't support old things.
[01:17] <modelengine> is there any way in this chat that I can select just our convo so i don't have to see the other convos/info
[01:17] <modelengine> ya lol
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <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.
[01:20] <modelengine> if your not on when it is finished, will i have any trouble finding someone else that is knowledgeable about this?
[01:21] <modelengine> also, i'm assuming that i will have to restart after the upgrade?
[01:22] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> hi
[01:22] <modelengine> will be back after upgrade is finished.
[01:23] <daftykins> modelengine: nah just address the channel again and they should be able to help. there'll be a reboot for certain, yes
[01:23] <modelengine> cool thanks dafty
[01:24] <daftykins> np :)
[01:26] <excelsiora> so why would I have this?
[01:26] <excelsiora> Error: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1: unrecognised disk label
[01:27] <hipitihop> anyone have a link to up to date reference for blueray playback
[01:27] <excelsiora> should I check out gparted?
[01:28] <Bashing-om> Snowie: "All these Radeon(HD) cards and derivatives have good 3D acceleration support. This is not an exhaustive list:" -> R600                        Radeon HD 2900 . is on the list. should be able to make it fully work !
[01:28] <excelsiora> is hard drive going bad?
[01:29] <excelsiora> that would make sense, it's kinda old
[01:29] <Snowie>  Bashing-om yeah, i saw that too. im trying to decide if i create a bug, or look at grub switches. it's like i can hear the card turning on and off sometimes.
[01:30] <Snowie> Bashing-om: hell, could be the card...
[01:31] <Snowie> Bashing-om: appreciate you looking into it.
[01:31] <Moonlightning> If I'm preseeding an installation, can I use a local file for the authorized SSH keys instead of retrieving the file from a server?
[01:31] <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] <excelsiora> running badblocks
[01:33] <schmiddie> okay guys, he gave me his machine and i updated his drivers, now it works :3
[01:33] <schmiddie> thanks a lot!
[01:34] <schmiddie> it was literally a single line of code and a second to shout at him to tell me his sudo-password
[01:35] <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?
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <Snowie> it's /etc/grug/grub.conf or similar?
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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] <Snowie> Bashing-om: roger. brb
[01:39] <Snowie> exit
[01:39] <Snowie> lol
[01:40] <modelengine> ok cool tks
[01:41] <Digipeng> !help
[01:41] <Digipeng> !patience
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <cfhowlett> modelengine, I suggest you move /home to a dedicated partition, do-release-upgrade and then add ppa's.
[01:43] <modelengine> super thx
[01:45] <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?
[01:46] <modelengine> because nvidia proprietary drivers just screw everything up on my system
[01:47] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> can you hack any ubuntu?
[01:47] <modelengine> 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?
[01:47] <cfhowlett> modelengine, I can't offer any meaningful advice on this topic.  Ask #xfce or #xubunt
[01:47] <cfhowlett> !hack | TiMe2HeiNKeN,
[01:47] <modelengine> ok thx'
[01:47] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> i have a server, it's mine, but i forgot the password
[01:47] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> hehe
[01:47] <modelengine> lol
[01:48] <cfhowlett> TiMe2HeiNKeN, hacking is not a topic of discussion here. this is ubuntu support.
[01:48] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> i know i know
[01:48] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> regaining an access is this called hack?
[01:48] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> it's mine !
[01:49] <trndr> TiMe2HeiNKeN: considering it is your server and you then mostlikly have physical access, then it is called password recovery
[01:49] <cfhowlett> TiMe2HeiNKeN, you own a server?  then you know that "hack" strongly implies unauthorized access to someone else's machine.  NOW you claim ownership?  sorry, not believing you for one second.
[01:49] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> yes i know
[01:49] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> it's mine
[01:49] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> i can say "IT'S MINE"
[01:50] <Digipeng> !google
[01:50] <trndr> TiMe2HeiNKeN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[01:51] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> it has a SSH server
[01:51] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> my server that i lost password is a ssh server
[01:51] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> can you retrevieve it for me please?
[01:51] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h-eHNQkV-s
[01:52] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> good song to motivate
[01:52] <trndr> TiMe2HeiNKeN: Not your server then
[01:52] <Ben64> TiMe2HeiNKeN: contact your server provider and they can give you access
[01:52] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> you want the ip?
[01:52] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> no they can't
[01:52] <cfhowlett> TiMe2HeiNKeN, you've been given the link.  do it yourself.  and no video spam please.
[01:52] <Ben64> TiMe2HeiNKeN: yes they can, this channel can not
[01:52] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> it's song helpy link !
[01:52] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> you can
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> you are all hackers here
[01:53] <Terabyte> hey, i have a piece of software located in /opt/software/lib, it's init scripts are /opt/software/bin/myservice  and it responds to the parameters start, stop restart and other things like you'd expect a service to. e.g. myservice start   and myservice stop. i've added a symlink from /etc/init.d/myservice to the bin script, but wondering what else i need to do to register this as a service
[01:53] <Ben64> TiMe2HeiNKeN: stop this topic now, it is not allowed here, you've been given several solutions. pick one
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> lol
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> too proud hackers
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> you can do it in one way
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> with a software
[01:53] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> ./soft mypipserver
[01:54] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> and that's done
[01:54] <Ben64> not possible, and stop this nonsense already
[01:54] <nevermoreraven> what is the best desktop 3d graphics card that works with open source drivers?
[01:54] <cfhowlett> Ben64, you've been warned.
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <TiMe2HeiNKeN> i thought with the bash problem you can hack anything..
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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?
[02:03] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <Ben64> this is what i see for reference... http://ben64.com/nvidiadrivers.png
[02:08] <waxhead> hi everyone...
[02:09] <evil_dan2wik> So...
[02:09] <evil_dan2wik> I just had my VPS cracked into
[02:09] <evil_dan2wik> whoever it was downloaded the filesystem and then ran rm -rf /*
[02:09] <evil_dan2wik> how do I prevent this in the future?
[02:09] <tontre> anywhere to get paid help?
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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?
[02:13] <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.
[02:15] <blahhaaha> perhaps i fixed my CPU issue by adding noapic, nolapic?
[02:17] <waxhead> I have an odd issue with files recovered from a tar archive...
[02:17] <waxhead> -rwxrwxr-x 1 pete pete 6740 Dec 24  2009 mythtv_xmltvid_backup-20091224090503.sql
[02:18] <waxhead> pete@mediacentre:~$ mv mythtv_xmltvid_backup-20091224090503.sql test
[02:18] <waxhead> mv: cannot move âmythtv_xmltvid_backup-20091224090503.sqlâ to âtestâ: Permission denied
[02:18] <waxhead> what's with the ^a in front of the file names?
[02:18] <waxhead> I can move the file fine when doing it as root
[02:19] <tirdtoon> quit
[02:20] <xroads> nope that didnt do it. still 1 cpu
[02:20] <gthank> If I want to disable an upstart job, do I just delete the file from /et/init or is there a way to tell upstart to stop running it while leaving it in place so I can turn it back on later if I need to do so
[02:21] <mezel> Hey Bashing-om, got it all fixed
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <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..
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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?
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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.
[02:30] <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] <mezel> I don't usually, but updates can
[02:33] <xroads> okay acpi=off gives me all my cpus back
[02:35] <Digipeng> thats quite drastic xroads I wonder if there another solution
[02:41] <modelengine> cfhowlett, ok, so, i have installed 14.04 successfully. i have re-plugged in my printer (Brother MFC8820D) and gone into midnight commander, searched for printers, found the printer thingy and tried to add my printer.
[02:41] <modelengine> I would like to give a screenshot, but don't know how to put it into here
[02:41] <Freen0deAdmin> modelengine, screw off
[02:41] <modelengine> ben64, u there?
[02:42] <Freen0deAdmin> modelengine, go away
[02:44] <cfhowlett> Freen0deAdmin, stop that.  abusing other people violates channel rules.
[02:44] <cfhowlett> !paste | modelengine,
[02:44] <Freen0deAdmin> cfhowlett, how dare you say that
[02:44] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | Freen0deAdmin
[02:44] <Freen0deAdmin> cfhowlett, i will putin a request for you to get klined
[02:45] <somsip> !ops | Freen0deAdmin (threats and abuse)
[02:45] <phunyguy> Freen0deAdmin: is there a problem?
[02:45] <somsip> phunyguy: thank you
[02:45] <phunyguy> oh.
[02:46] <cfhowlett> modelengine, take a screenshot , use imgur to paste and share in this channel
[02:47] <modelengine> cfhowlett, http://imgur.com/oK0ZNBv
[02:47] <modelengine> sorry, but i don't know what to do now
[02:47] <cfhowlett> modelengine, this is a network printer?
[02:47] <modelengine> um.....?
[02:48] <modelengine> cfhowlett, no direct line
[02:48] <elky> modelengine: does it have a wifi symbol on it or is there an ethernet cable plugged in to it?
[02:48] <modelengine> sorry, i mean it is directly connected via usb cable
[02:49] <modelengine> cfhowlett and elky, it is connected via a usb
[02:50] <modelengine> cfhowlett and elky, no cat 5 plugged into printer
[02:51] <cfhowlett> modelengine, assuming driver support, the printer should be listed.  different approach: configure with cups
[02:51] <jcims> FWIW folks, that weird wifi issue was power management affecting the centrino wireless card in the 6700.  i disabled power management (sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off) and it's good to go
[02:51] <cfhowlett> modelengine, open your browser and go to localhost:631
[02:51] <jcims> the reason for the change in behavior was that i was running off of battery
[02:52] <modelengine> cfhowlett,  cups is very difficult. asks for user and pw. don't know user/pw
[02:52] <cfhowlett> modelengine, err ...
[02:54] <cfhowlett> modelengine, I'm not able to advise further.  the printer *should* have auto-configured.  I suspect a driver issue, but I've never had to solve as my printers *just work* with ubuntu.  ask again in channel.  someone will know.
[02:54] <modelengine> cfhowlett, thank you for helping me thus far! much appreciated!!!
[02:54] <cfhowlett> modelengine, happy2help
[02:55] <Finetundra> hello, i've tried to install gametree linux. post installition, almost all of my programs were deleted and now it appears that any remaining ones are messed up. anyone have any idea how what caused this?
[02:57] <Finetundra> and it now appears that i have gotten a virus from said program
[02:57] <modelengine> hello, I have a brother mfc 8820d printer. I am running ubuntu 14.04, have a dell vostro pc i7 2600, 3.4ghz with 8 gig ddr3 ram 64-bit system, 1 TB HDD. am looking to connect my printer via usb cable (already done)
[02:58] <modelengine> ubuntu doesn't recognize printer. have tried installing brother driver install tool, but doesn't work. just gives me a gedit script
[02:58] <modelengine> cfhowlett, how would i go about installing the driver?
[02:59] <Digipeng> modelengine: when you do lsusb does it show your printer?
[02:59] <modelengine> digipeng, sorry, how to do that?
[02:59] <Finetundra> modelengine, did you make sure that there's a driver for it?
[03:00] <cfhowlett> modelengine, there is a driver  http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/brother-lpr-drivers-laser1
[03:00] <Digipeng> ctrl+alt+t type lsusb and hit enter
[03:00] <modelengine> ya, can't seem to install driver. when i do it saves a zipped file to downloads, then i extract and it just gives me a notepad looking thing with a bunch of script
[03:00] <Eduard_Munteanu> Bleh, Brother's crappy drivers.
[03:01] <cfhowlett> modelengine, I found it.
[03:01] <Eduard_Munteanu> I have one and I managed to get it working with a generic PCL5 driver plus a custom filter to send the appropriate PJL initialization commands.
[03:01] <modelengine> ok here is screenshot from lsusb
[03:01] <modelengine> http://imgur.com/xhKgRoO
[03:02]  * Eduard_Munteanu has to figure out if he can merge that into foomatic
[03:02] <cfhowlett> modelengine, download the package from the link above.  extract.  sudo dpkg -i the mfc8820dlpr . deb
[03:02] <modelengine> cfhowlett, how to install? can i use ubunt soft centr?
[03:02] <modelengine> cfhowlett thx
[03:03] <modelengine> cfhowlett, i truly feel like an idiot, but which one to i grab from that site?
[03:03] <cfhowlett> modelengine, ***.tar.gz
[03:04] <cfhowlett> modelengine, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/b/brother-lpr-drivers-laser1/brother-lpr-drivers-laser1_1.0.0-3.orig.tar.gz
[03:04] <modelengine> thx. so i saved it. now....?
[03:04] <cfhowlett> modelengine, extract
[03:04] <cfhowlett> modelengine, look inside the extract folder for your model number
[03:05] <mezel-away> ok, sorta back
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <modelengine> true....
[03:07] <Digipeng> man I hate having to get cups to work Im my old distrub I had to download drivers cups and open the firewall
[03:07] <modelengine> cfhowlett, screenshot from failed install http://imgur.com/PunDxUB
[03:08] <Digipeng> lol
[03:09] <cfhowlett> modelengine, sorry.  that was my best shot.
[03:09] <modelengine> no worries. I this has been pi**ing me off for 3 + hours....:(

[03:14] <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++?
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <cfhowlett> modelengine, "How to Install" ... http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc8820d_us&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625
[03:16] <Spark> mysteriously, the segfault completely goes away when i run in valgrind
[03:17] <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.
[03:18] <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.

[03:21] <JavaJosh> bubbasaures: alright thanks. When you say "best not run really" what do you mean? It is best to not run that update?
[03:23] <bubbasaures> JavaJosh, Missing packages is generally resolved within a day or so, so yeah.
[03:23] <modelengine> cfhowlett, no cigar.
[03:24] <mezel> ok, back for a min or two Bashing-om you still around?
[03:29] <Digipeng> how do i reset my internet connection via terminal? ubuntu 14.04 lts ethernet connection dhcp
[03:32] <vual> hey guys i tried to install LXLE on i686 and it wont let me it tells me to get right version for my CPU, but i can only find 64b and 32b i cant find i686 ??? any tips ??
[03:35]  * Digipeng facepalms
[03:35] <Digipeng> vual: 32b is i686
[03:35] <vual> ohhhh

[03:35] <vual> thanks for that
[03:39] <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?
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <daftykins> delt: why do you want openoffice? libreoffice is newer
[03:41] <delt> to try out its spreadsheet program and word processor, mainly
[03:42] <delt> but i'm just wondering what the install procedure is for a package like this (bunch of .deb files)
[03:44] <mrsspammy> Somebody, please kick my butt out!
[03:44] <mrsspammy> Somebody, please kick my butt out!
[03:45] <delt> anyway... it's not important. thanks for the help
[03:46] <Yrie> delt: dpkg -i package.deb
[03:47] <Yrie> or man dpkg =)
[03:50] <samthewildone> !shockwave
[03:50] <Yrie> Digipeng: I suspect you can restart /etc/init.d/networking
[03:51] <samthewildone> ah no thank you, I have to install a windows version of firefox.
[03:52] <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
[03:56] <cyphase> in bash, how can i tell if a command is the first command run in the current session? my goal is to have a script exit the session IFF it was the first thing run in it
[03:57] <cyphase> i.e. i open a terminal, run this command, and it should exit. whereas if i open a terminal, run some other command, then run this command, it should not exit
[04:01] <syntaxc4> join #php

[04:37] <tterrag> so...noob here...am I blind, how do I get a terminal if I have no screen at all? I literally can't do anything before it konks out http://askubuntu.com/questions/41681/blank-screen-after-installing-nvidia-restricted-driver
[04:37] <tterrag> (not my question, but same problem)
[04:38] <bubbasaures> tterrag, You know the tty ctrl-alt-f1-6 for a command line?
[04:38] <tterrag> nope :P
[04:39] <Digipeng> oh ubuntus debian based i foregot. virtual terminals are enabled though right?
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <bubbasaures> tterrag, I'm not up on nvidia, there are optional low graphic boots not sure how that workswith nvidia is all.
[04:43] <tterrag> bubbasaures: googling how to do it gives me a ton of results of how to FIX it -.-
[04:45] <Yrie> tterrag: does it even go to grub?
[04:45] <tterrag> Yrie: not dual booting
[04:46] <tterrag> but I got a grub menu by pressing escape a bunch of times
[04:46] <tterrag> wasn't helpful
[04:46] <xeru> I convinced a kid to run a mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda today
[04:46] <Digipeng> do you guys have an option to select init when booting from command line?
[04:47] <Digipeng> xeru: LOL
[04:47] <Yrie> xeru: why..?
[04:47] <Digipeng> was that a typeo or did you actuall tell him to do that on /dev/sda
[04:48] <xeru> He was asking a forum for a PHP-based RAT, so I sent him a command to curl|sh a file that formatted /dev/sda
[04:48] <xeru> I'm a troll, can't help it
[04:49] <Digipeng> I had a user today ask me if i686 was 32 bit
[04:49] <Digipeng> or really tell me it wasn't
[04:50] <xeru> Like I hate being mean to beginners but this kid literally wanted a "php rat to infect slave", honestly there's a limit
[04:50] <Digipeng> vual	hey guys i tried to install LXLE on i686 and it wont let me it tells me to get right version for my CPU, but i can only find 64b and 32b i cant find i686 ??? any tips ??
[04:50] <Digipeng> 	Digipeng	facepalms
[04:50] <Digipeng> 	Digipeng	vual: 32b is i686
[04:52] <mikhael_k33hl> I've downloaded an .iso
[04:52] <mikhael_k33hl> when I run sha1sum it gives an Input/Output Error
[04:52] <mikhael_k33hl> Any suggested solutions?
[04:53] <Yrie> mikhael_k33hl: redownload?
[04:53] <Yrie> !i686
[04:53] <mikhael_k33hl> Yrie: I'm doing that right now, just wanted to know if there are any alternatives
[04:53] <Digipeng> what was the error that would be a good question
[04:54] <mikhael_k33hl> Digipeng: That's the error, it says: "Input/output error"
[04:54] <Digipeng> !i686
[04:54] <Digipeng> nice hmm well md5 it?
[04:54] <xeru> Should I put gnome or kde on my laptop that I got my girlfriend for school? It currently runs win8 and she hates it.
[04:55] <xeru> And she doesn't like unity
[04:55] <Digipeng> ask her whats she's comfortable with
[04:55] <Digipeng> windows wise
[04:55] <xeru> I have gnome on mine, she seems to like it, but what's best for school generally
[04:55] <Yrie> either one is good for school
[04:55] <Yrie> unless the school prefers a particular gui
[04:56] <Yrie> which would be so so strange
[04:56] <Digipeng> well if you want to make things as windowsy as possible I would choose lxde
[05:01] <Digipeng> I hate gnome xde seems more familiar to me being ex windows guy
[05:01] <hanuwath> hi
[05:01] <hanuwath> anyone here
[05:01] <excelsiora> Ubuntu, I ran badblocks, and it gave me output. what does it mean?
[05:01] <excelsiora> $ sudo badblocks /dev/sda
[05:01] <excelsiora> 479447676
[05:01] <excelsiora> 479447677
[05:01] <excelsiora> 479447678
[05:01] <excelsiora> 479447679
[05:01] <unopaste> excelsiora you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[05:03] <excelsiora> so that was all the output, thoughts?
[05:04] <Yrie> excelsiora: doesn't that just mean you have badblocks..?
[05:04] <hanuwath> Anyone know about the 5th of November
[05:05] <Digipeng> !ops
[05:05] <xeru> Let me guess, you just watched V for Vendetta
[05:05] <excelsiora> Yrie: I think so, four of them to be precise
[05:05] <phunyguy> hi
[05:05] <hanuwath> hi
[05:05] <excelsiora> I think it may have happened in my swap partition, meaning I don't have swap anymore.
[05:05] <phunyguy> Digipeng: what's up?
[05:05] <excelsiora> What it really means is I need a new hard drive...
[05:06] <excelsiora> crap, this was a good one too. 7200 rpm, 500GB.
[05:11] <Digipeng> well excelsiora blocks can be repaired or rather replaced by a hard drives firmware
[05:12] <Digipeng> but there is only a limited supply in reserve after they go then a hard drive is as good as bricked
[05:12] <Digipeng> !backup
[05:13] <Digipeng> I recommend using backups
[05:14] <xeru> I never backup for some reason, 99% of what I need on computers overall is accessible by browser in a moment's notice.
[05:14] <xeru> Or I end up installing it anyway
[05:15] <nevermoreraven> I be super super black
[05:15] <daftykins> excelsiora: i'd rather see "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[05:15] <daftykins> why people start messing with badblocks so early i don't know
[05:15] <Digipeng>  Most users are taught hard drives are forever,but in reality they are the first thing to go I know thats one of my biggest concerns from a customer.
[05:16] <Digipeng> I am always replacing there hdd
[05:17] <Digipeng> sdd are no diff they actually die from too man read/writes
[05:17] <Digipeng> ssd's
[05:17] <daftykins> Digipeng: this isn't a channel for general chat i'm afraid.
[05:17] <daftykins> #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[05:18] <Digipeng> okay im in the grey area here
[05:18]  * Digipeng puts foot in mouth
[05:22] <Roofu> hey, can I ask for some help installing ubuntu in this chat? =x
[05:22] <Digipeng> !help
[05:23] <Yrie> tterrag: so, if you can go to grub, you can go to shell
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:24] <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?
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | Roofu
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> Roofu: make your life easy and single install ubuntu, loose win once and for good :p
[05:26] <Roofu> I'd love to, but I need Windows for school. And I've turned off UEFI.
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> Roofu: you can install win8 inside virtualbox if you like
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> for schoo,purposes
[05:26] <__unik> hello. xubuntu - How can I change the cursor in GTK app? setting in xubuntu only changes the cursor in qt apps
[05:27] <Digipeng> beet me to it lotuspsychje
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> __unik: maybe the #xubuntu guys can also help
[05:27] <Digipeng> you can also run ubuntu inside a virtualbox
[05:27] <Roofu> I don't think my laptop is powerful enough, and honestly I know it's possible to do it
[05:27] <Digipeng> on windows 8
[05:27] <Digipeng> anyway Ill help
[05:27] <Roofu> It seems my problem is something to do with the fact that you can only have four primary partitions or something? :x
[05:28] <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
[05:29] <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] <Roofu> so how do I make an extended partition?
[05:30] <Yrie> !extended partition
[05:30] <CanYouFTLTN> are there any programmers that use git in here?
[05:30] <Digipeng> Roofu: where are you at in the install process?
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> CanYouFTLTN: you can try the #ubuntu-devel channel mate
[05:31] <CanYouFTLTN> ty
[05:31] <daftykins> git probably has a channel
[05:31] <Roofu> digipeng: I was up to the part where I made root and swap partitions
[05:33] <jericho> Ello
[05:33] <Digipeng> okay swaps required and /
[05:33] <Digipeng> you also are required to have windows stuff
[05:34] <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 ?
[05:35] <Digipeng> Roofu: yes 2 / and swap
[05:35] <samthewildone> I do not want my wallpapers in my ~/Pictures folder.
[05:35] <Digipeng> Roofu: how much ram do you have in your laptop
[05:35] <daftykins> excelsiora: any life in you?
[05:36] <Digipeng> too much daftykins  too much
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> jericho: this channel is not to discuss, but solve ubuntu problems
[05:36] <jericho> Ok
[05:37] <Roofu> 2 GB
[05:37] <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?
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <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?
[05:41] <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/
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <Roofu> my computer is not powerful enough to use win8 inside a virtual machine
[05:44] <Roofu> it has 2 GB of RAM
[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
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <Digipeng> i'll*
[05:48] <Roofu> thanks a ton!
[05:49] <Digipeng> Roofu: Its booting up right now
[05:51] <Digipeng> I used to do this before virtual machines were invented.
[05:52] <Roofu> o_O
[05:53] <Roofu> Before I was born, then
[05:53] <Digipeng> well for the x86 that is
[05:54] <Roofu> just a sec
[05:54] <Digipeng> sorry for the delay I had to many vm's running
[05:54] <Roofu> I'll boot up my windows
[05:54] <Digipeng> lol
[05:56] <Roofu> sorry if I'm being too rude, I have a horrible cold and a headache ><
[05:58] <Digipeng> and you have to do disk partitioning nice
[05:58] <Digipeng> lol
[06:01] <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
[06:03] <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
[06:04] <Roofu> if only I knew it was so simple...thank you so much!
[06:04] <Roofu> ...now where did I keep that thumb drive
[06:06] <Digipeng> logical drives fit under extended partitions
[06:07] <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
[06:10] <Digipeng> Roofu: yw and Im verifing the install right now on the test vm.
[06:11] <Roofu> thanks, I finally found the pen drive, I'll install now
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | Digipeng
[06:12] <Roofu> xD he definitely does
[06:14] <Roofu> Digipeng if you don't mind me asking...how old are you? :P
[06:15] <Digipeng> Just turned 30
[06:15] <Yrie> I think Digipeng needs a b33r fund
[06:16] <Digipeng> I remember the good old days having to use fdisk to make partitions, when linux was on 1 cdrom
[06:17] <Roofu> if you were two years older, I'd be half your age
[06:17] <Yrie> yes, those were the days
[06:18] <Roofu> Er, er...I once installed Windows 2000 from a floppy?
[06:18] <Digipeng> I once installed windows 3.1.1 from a floppy
[06:18] <Digipeng> :P
[06:19] <Digipeng> or actually floppies
[06:19] <Digipeng> eh linux used to come on floppies too
[06:19] <Digipeng> but that was before my time
[06:19] <Roofu> wow linux is kinky
[06:19] <daftykins> Digipeng: remember that off topic comment i mentioned earlier?
[06:19] <Roofu> also, just by the way
[06:20] <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
[06:22] <herpderphurr> how do I interpret a wildcard if I get it as output?
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> distra: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[06:24] <distra> lotuspsychje: if you mean the "extra software" the installer offers you at the beginning of the installation, then no I didn't.
[06:25] <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
[06:26] <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
[06:27] <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?
[06:28] <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.
[06:29] <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
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> distra: you can also test out chromium just to test
[06:33] <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.
[06:34] <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] <azulinox> buenas
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> distra: normally chrome should play by default
[06:35] <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.
[06:36] <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
[06:38] <circ-user-wE81h> I don't think, I have any Btrfs filesytem in my computer.
[06:39] <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.
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <circ-user-wE81h> i stuck
[06:42] <distra> lotuspsychje: okay I'll close this session then
[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <circ-user-wE81h> how can i prevent btrfs check via grub2 in boot
[06:45] <circ-user-wE81h> ?
[06:47] <herpderphurr> hmmm
[06:48] <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
[06:52] <herpderphurr> circ, do you have a LiveCD or a USB disk you can boot off of to get to your system otherwise?
[06:53] <circ-user-wE81h> thank u "herpderphurr" but I have seen this before, I don't have access to my linux right now
[06:54] <circ-user-wE81h> USB ok i can make it, what about next?
[06:58] <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
[06:59] <herpderphurr> for example....
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <Guest40509> i don't
[07:01] <herpderphurr> okay then
[07:02] <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.
[07:03] <Guest40509> no thank I am in windows right now, I now how to mount
[07:04] <herpderphurr> ok
[07:04] <herpderphurr> after you've mounted, run chroot /mnt
[07:05] <herpderphurr> you can then uninstall btrfs-tools if you have it installed, or you can blacklist the btrfs module in /etc/modprobe.d
[07:07] <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
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <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?
[07:16] <asktheprobleem_> excuse me, i need solution. when i try to get cidr of two different IPaddress use whois in terminal , sometimes i get result = "xx.x0.0.0/xx" (1 CIDR) and sometimes i get result= "xx.xx.0.0/xx, xx.xx.0.0/xx" (2 CIDR). then i try to block with iptables: #iptables -A OUTPUT -d xx.x0.0.0/xx -j DROP. it was success. but why i try (for 2 CIDR ): #iptables -A OUTPUT -d xx.xx.0.0/xx, xx.xx.0.0/xx -j DROP . (it was'nt success) error message= Bad argumen
[07:16] <asktheprobleem_> t 'xx.xx.0.0/xx'. how to input 2 CIDR ?.
[07:20] <asktheprobleem_> how to solve it?
[07:21] <geirha> asktheprobleem_: split it and run two iptables commands
[07:23] <asktheprobleem_> geirha, thx. i will try to split it.
[07:23] <geirha> asktheprobleem_: What does your script look like so far?
[07:27] <asktheprobleem_> geirha, i'm not use script. but just typing in terminal.
[07:29] <geirha> ah, so you just copy the CIDRs and paste it into an iptables command?
[07:31] <asktheprobleem_> geirha, thx very much i have try your solution (split it), and it was success. thx.,
[07:34] <asktheprobleem_> geirha, i'm not copypaste. in the last time i try use -dst-range but not support in this version. so i must use -d. thx
[07:36] <asktheprobleem_> geirha, thx.
[07:48] <cheqisurl> ubuntu 14.10 run very slow on my laptop...
[07:50] <herpderphurr> sounds like a disk issue. Usually disks are the bottlenecks when it comes to slow systems.
[07:51] <herpderphurr> of course, it could also be not enough memory.
[07:51] <herpderphurr> what's your system specs?
[07:58] <Edico> hi
[08:03] <Edico> I have a problem since I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04. For example when I try to run a shell script using the mouse, it opens it with the text editor. I tried "Choose another application, but there isn't an option for adding another program"
[08:03] <eeee> Edico: nautilus > preferences > behavior > executables
[08:04] <eeee> Edico: you can select ask each time, or run always ( not recommended )
[08:05] <Edico> thanks very much eeee !

[08:31] <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
[08:32] <daftykins> go 30GB
[08:32] <cfhowlett> dreamcat4, how hard?  easy.  load up 10 gb?
[08:33] <cfhowlett> dreamcat4, so your question is really " How much space should I give the ubuntu partition?"
[08:33] <dreamcat4> yes
[08:34] <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.
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <dreamcat4> i shall compromise and go 25GB then. don't intent to install too much
[08:38] <cfhowlett> dreamcat4, movies/music/pictures probably eat more memory than programs

[08:50] <wlxmhls> hi, how to disable automatical blank screen in xubuntu?
[08:51] <cfhowlett> wlxmhls, settings > power manager
[08:53] <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?
[08:54] <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?
[08:55] <wlxmhls> cfhowlett: I am using ac
[08:56] <wlxmhls> cfhowlett: I removed xscreensaver, so there is no screen saver settings
[08:57] <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.
[08:58] <wlxmhls> cfhowlett: ok. thanks
[08:58] <sixequalszero> Anyone know a good screensaver? I found xscreen fairly mediocre.
[08:59] <IIT> what i can do such that an user can install or remove and application, but that must be specific to that user only
[09:00] <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.
[09:02] <sixequalszero> cfhowlett: I had a look through it, I'm after something that overlays like 'Distort' but a bit more subtle.
[09:02] <sixequalszero> facepalm: cheers
[09:04] <sixequalszero> What's the simplest process for writing a screensaver?
[09:09] <OERIAS> http://imgur.com/kF8ipvK
[09:10] <daftykins> OERIAS: off topic. that dog is CLEARLY not running Ubuntu ;)
[09:10] <OERIAS> daftykins, that's the new mascot for Ubuntu lol
[09:11] <herpderphurr> actually, why is linux moving away from screensavers?
[09:11] <herpderphurr> what are going to replace screensavers?
[09:11] <OERIAS> herpderphurr, with new LCD and AMOLED screens why use a software from the 70s and 80
[09:11] <daftykins> do you want to know the best screensaver known to man?
[09:11] <facepalm> Power switch?
[09:11] <daftykins> the power button on the damned screen.
[09:12] <daftykins> facepalm: +1
[09:13] <sixequalszero> But then I can't see the screen :P
[09:13] <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'
[09:14] <sixequalszero> daftykins: depends on the screensaver
[09:14] <daftykins> they've always been pointless, i have disabled them since their inception
[09:15] <herpderphurr> that makes a bit more sense.
[09:16] <daftykins> screensaver off, power button used
[09:21] <eeee> screen-savers, what is it good for? abso-lutely nothing! la la la la ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01-2pNCZiNk
[09:22] <rubiksmomo> What's wrong with my backup app deja-dup? It keeps asking for encryption password. It just asks again every time I give it.

[09:24] <eeee> *lock
[09:24] <eeee> ( or num lock, maybe )
[09:25] <daftykins> eeee: :D just saw the above

[09:27] <antonio__> I'm trying to find out why my cd player isn't loading any of my cds
[09:34] <Ben64> antonio__: define "loading"
[09:34] <antonio__> when I pop in a cd to the cd tray nothing happens..
[09:35] <Ben64> what do you expect to happen
[09:35] <rubiksmomo> Open music player?
[09:36] <facepalm> What happens if you open the music play, then insert said cd, is it available for playback?
[09:36] <facepalm> player*
[09:37] <fps> i heard ubuntu has remote desktop functionality built in
[09:37] <fps> i have a buddy on the phone that uses ubuntu 14.04 with the default shell
[09:37] <fps> i wonder what's the easiest way for him to share his desktop with me
[09:38] <Ben64> fps: search for "Desktop Sharing" in the dash
[09:38] <fps> Ben64: ok
[09:39] <fps> Ben64: it's a little more difficult since he uses a german version it seems
[09:39] <rubiksmomo> What's wrong with my backup app deja-dup? It keeps asking for encryption password. It just asks again every time I give it. I checked the password I typed and it's correct.
[09:40] <rubiksmomo> fps: Why not change the language for a while?
[09:40] <fps> rubiksmomo: he's on the phone. i don't think i can make it clear to him how to do that ;)
[09:41] <rubiksmomo> maybe you could do it after you connect
[09:41] <rubiksmomo> even if you don't know the language, the icons and locations are same
[09:42] <fps> i think he found the desktop sharing thing
[09:42] <fps> ok, now i wonder if it can poke holes into the firewall
[09:42] <fps> i guess it's just a vnc session
[09:42] <fps> now i have to get his ip
[09:43] <helmut_> hi
[09:54] <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.
[09:56] <Aamit> TurkerTunali, fdisk
[09:56] <xeoncore> Really Aamit? I think he said easy...
[09:57] <Aamit> :)
[09:57] <daftykins> nothing like a good trial by fire
[09:59] <eeee> TurkerTunali: gparted is probably the easiest most user friendly way
[10:11] <rubiksmomo> How do I escape spaces and backslashes in /etc/fstab FTP password?
[10:12] <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
[10:13] <rubiksmomo> it's FTP mount
[10:14] <rubiksmomo> curlftpfs
[10:14] <daftykins> you can probably still pass credentials via the options field "credentials=/path/to"
[10:15] <daftykins> not sure though
[10:15] <cristian_c> Hi
[10:15] <cristian_c> when I put my micro-sd card in the card reader (via adapter), I get in dmesg:
[10:16] <daftykins> !paste
[10:16] <cristian_c> sdhci-pci Will use DMA mode even though HW doesn't fully claim to support it.
[10:16] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[10:16] <TurkerTunali> thanks, I will try gparted
[10:16] <daftykins> does the card then come up in "fdisk -l" ?
[10:17] <cristian_c> daftykins, no
[10:17] <sixequalszero> What do I need to read from my exfat usb drive?
[10:18] <daftykins> !find exfat
[10:18] <daftykins> i think it was exfat-tools or similar
[10:18] <daftykins> exfat-utils there you go
[10:19] <daftykins> sixequalszero: ^
[10:19] <sixequalszero> ubottu: thanks ^^
[10:20] <daftykins> ubottu is a bot.
[10:20] <daftykins> but sure, thank the bot :(

[10:22] <cristian_c> daftykins, any ideas?
[10:27] <sysop2> hi I keep getting this trying to compile something.  "has no member named ‘set_gl_state’" I think I need an opengl library but not sure which one.
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <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?
[10:29] <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 "
[10:30] <cristian_c> daftykins, it's the default kernel in 14.04
[10:30] <snpresent> less people have time to read the sourcecode,sad!!!
[10:31] <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.
[10:32] <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?
[10:33] <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.
[10:34] <antonio__> ben64: and rubiksmomo: If I open a music player I can't load a CD
[10:34] <antonio__> I'm trying to find out why my cd player isn't loading any of my cds...when I pop in a cd to the cd tray nothing happens..
[10:35] <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?
[10:36] <eeee> sysop2: k, i was using aria2 for downloading btw.
[10:36] <antonio__> nope
[10:36] <antonio__> actually...when I pop in a cd...it shows cd-r on the left...even though its not a blank cd
[10:37] <rubiksmomo> antonio__: So when you click it, does it show the content?
[10:38] <antonio__> nope..it opens up the blank cd-r folder...the one where you can drop files into it and burn them directly
[10:40] <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] <lax> igot error "  ssh: Could not resolve hostname rsync: Name or service not known "
[10:41] <eeee> lax: you forgot the // after rsync:
[10:41] <sysop2> dude jjust use wget. its designed to do web transfers.
[10:41] <eeee> sysop2: dude rsync is way cleverer
[10:41] <lax> ok will try again
[10:41] <eeee> 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
[10:42] <sysop2> LOL, so you are needlessly making the more complex. great. why not just use wget -c url
[10:42] <eeee> rsync -avP rsync://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso /home/lax/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[10:42] <eeee> lax: sorry ^^
[10:43] <eeee> sysop2: cause rsync is more clever than wget.
[10:43] <sysop2> no your example proves is more clever than aria2.
[10:43] <mesaboogie1> --ProgressBar
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <sysop2> what proof of that do you have?
[10:46] <eeee> " OTOH rsync is very clever indeed when you need to correct a very large file
[10:46] <eeee> such as an iso. All that gets downloaded initially are md4sums of small
[10:46] <eeee> segments of the source file to compare with the md4sums of the corresponding
[10:46] <eeee> segments on your copy. Then correcting segments are d/l and patched as needed. "
[10:46] <Crypt_> anyone familiar with ufw?
[10:46] <daftykins> Crypt_: just ask
[10:46] <cfhowlett> !ufw | Crypt_,
[10:46] <antonio__> rubiksmomo: ..it opens up the blank cd-r folder...the one where you can drop files into it and burn them directly
[10:47] <rubiksmomo> antonio__: you shouldn't point your question to a single person if you want an answer
[10:48] <antonio__> ok...thought you might have come across this issue before
[10:48] <cristian_c> Has anyone other ideas?
[10:48] <lax> by using // as suggested above  i got this error ''ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a / rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1524) [Receiver=3.0.7] "
[10:49] <evil_dan2wik> how to specify a password for sudo?
[10:49] <eeee> lax: did you try with the http:// ?  rsync -avP rsync://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso /home/lax/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso

[10:50] <lax> ok i will do it again
[10:50] <evil_dan2wik> rubiksmomo, I need non-interactive mode.
[10:53] <lax> with out http i got " rsync: failed to connect to www.ubuntu.com: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7] "
[10:54] <macs> ciao a tutti
[10:54] <daftykins> !it
[10:54] <lax> what is the exact path to " ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" file on Ubuntu site?
[10:55] <cristian_c> lol
[10:55] <syeekick> crazy question im using a US layout keyboard but i switched it to the UK style inside ubuntu... but where would the pipe key be? ps aux(said pipe key) grep mumble
[10:55] <Rory> syeekick: to the left of Z
[10:55] <Rory> syeekick: (with shift held)
[10:55] <cfhowlett> lax, http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/
[10:55] <facepalm> lax: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[10:55] <syeekick> yeah thats the shift key buddy its a us keyboard but with uk langugage settings
[10:56] <Rory> No, hold the shift key down
[10:56] <Rory> And hit the backslash kety
[10:56] <lax> ok i will use the above link and try
[10:56] <Rory> *key
[10:56] <Rory> Or paste this |||||||||
[10:57] <Rory> Oh I see what you're saying syeekick ... I'm pretty sure the US (physical) keyboard layout actually has 1 or 2 fewer keys
[10:57] <syeekick> it does :P
[10:57] <syeekick> ¬ going to re map that as my backslash
[10:58] <syeekick> wait fack its not backslash i need
[10:58] <syeekick> might just switch it to us then lol
[10:59] <syeekick> found it under "keyboard layout" in the language settings in the top right :) crisis averted
[10:59] <Rory> I think it might be best to. Depends if you type | or £ more
[11:00] <Rory> Since I don't think they US keyboard layout has a £ key (and if it does, it isn't shift-3)
[11:00] <syeekick> its ok under unity it comes in the keyboard settings and gives me my layout
[11:01] <syeekick> next question: How would I tempory disable the mouse pad? should i modrpobe it and hash it out?
[11:01] <eeee> syeekick: you can use xinput
[11:01] <evil_dan2wik> I need to sudo without a tty, how do I do this?
[11:02] <antonio__> I'm trying to find out why my cd player isn't loading any of my cds...when I pop in a cd to the cd tray nothing happens..
[11:02] <syeekick> crtl+alt f1-f6
 no you can  disable with simple click!
[11:03] <eeee> antonio__: maybe the lens is damaged?
[11:03] <antonio__> eeee: I doubt it...I can burn cds no problem...I just can't play a damn music cd...
[11:04] <facepalm> Can the drive read said burned cd?
 in Mouse setting
[11:04] <syeekick> thanks snpresent
[11:04] <larsantos> I've installed ubuntu in my laptop and I encrypted the whole drive, because I didn't want to write down two passwords at boot time I've chosen the automatic login, is this safe or should I change to asking for my passord at login?
[11:04] <syeekick> ubuntu is damn sexy
[11:05] <syeekick> larsantos, depends is your laptop in a private area?
[11:05] <larsantos> syeekick, yes, personal laptop
 always
[11:05] <Crypt_> larsantos: work computer or?
[11:06] <larsantos> Crypt_, personal, not critical data in it
[11:06] <syeekick> I wouldn't worry about putting a password on login. Due to the fact it booting up quicker :P
[11:07] <larsantos> syeekick, thanks

[11:10] <president_> Hello everyone, from Russia with love ..
[11:11] <daftykins> got a question?
[11:11] <ktosiek> hi! has anyone used bluez5 on ubuntu 14.04?
[11:11] <daftykins> !anyone
[11:11] <daftykins> ugh
[11:12] <president_> Yes,if there's a Russian-speaking community?
[11:13] <ktosiek> daftykins: ?
[11:14] <Stannaz> Hello
[11:14] <daftykins> ktosiek: ultimately, don't ask "does anyone..." just ask the actual question :)
[11:15] <daftykins> Stannaz: hi, got a question?
[11:15] <Stannaz> Nope, thank you though, just being nosey around the IRC, I'm new
[11:15] <sysop2> hi I keep getting this trying to compile something.  "has no member named ‘set_gl_state’" I think I need an opengl library but not sure which one, any ideas did the normal opengl dev packages.
[11:15] <daftykins> Stannaz: ok, support only in here - #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[11:15] <michele_> i've installed sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-extra but the button it's grey why?
[11:15] <Stannaz> Ah, okay, thanks
[11:15] <Rory> !ru | president_
[11:15] <michele_> i can't check
[11:16] <ktosiek> good point. So, the question is: are there repositories with bluez5 and dependent packages for Ubuntu 14.04?
[11:16] <ktosiek> I want to use it with KDE, so I'd need it compiled with bluez5 too
[11:17] <Stannaz> I got a question which should be reletively simple, if I wanted a terminal window to open when my system boots, how would I do it?
[11:18] <eeee> Stannaz: add gnome-terminal to dash > startup applications
[11:18] <Stannaz> oo didn't know about startup applications, thanks for that
[11:18] <Rory> Stannaz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/459277/how-do-i-make-a-program-auto-start-everytime-i-log-in-in-ubuntu-14-04
[11:19] <eeee> Stannaz: no problem
[11:19] <Stannaz> yeah, should've googled
[11:19] <Stannaz> my bad about that one, general questions
[11:19] <Stannaz> but thanks a lot
[11:19] <eeee> Stannaz: nah, he's just trying to give you a comprehensive guide
[11:19] <Stannaz> ah okay
[11:19] <eeee> Stannaz: ask all you want :)
[11:19] <Stannaz> thank you
[11:23] <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
[11:26] <eeee> Stannaz: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[11:27] <Stannaz> I tried that
[11:27] <Stannaz> didn;t work
[11:27] <eeee> Stannaz: did you remove ubuntu-desktop?
[11:28] <Stannaz> I'm using ubuntu-desktop now, the only issue is the login screen isn't ubuntu-desktop
[11:28] <eeee> sudo apt-get install lightdm
[11:28] <Stannaz> I believe I did that too
[11:28] <Stannaz> so
[11:28] <Stannaz> I'll try it now
[11:28] <eeee> try sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm
[11:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:28] <Stannaz> okay, trying that now
[11:28] <Stannaz> heya Blue
[11:29] <Stannaz> okay lightdm is reinstalling
[11:29] <Stannaz> done
[11:29] <Stannaz> should that now be fixed?
[11:29] <eeee> i think so
[11:29] <eeee> try to reboot
[11:29] <Stannaz> okay, one minute
[11:30] <eeee> is it your only pc?
[11:30] <Stannaz> I have others
[11:30] <Stannaz> yes
[11:31] <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> hm
[11:31] <Stannaz> I'll try that now before i reboot
[11:31] <cheqisurl> win7 purely for gaming
[11:31] <Stannaz> yes
[11:32] <Stannaz_> there we go
[11:33] <Stannaz_> okay, going to reboot, thank you
[11:36] <Stannaz> okay, rebooted, login screen is still GNOME
[11:36] <eeee> Stannaz: ok, i think the gnome login is gdm
[11:36] <sydney> yes...
[11:37] <eeee> try to remove it, sudo apt-get purge gdm
[11:37] <Stannaz> uninstall gdm?
[11:37] <Stannaz> yeah
[11:37] <Stannaz> trying
[11:37] <eeee> yeah, and then reinstall lightdm
[11:37] <Stannaz> oke, trying that now
[11:39] <Stannaz> purged gdm, reinstalled lightdm, going to reboot again
[11:39] <eeee> ok
[11:41] <Eduard_Munteanu> What do I have to do to get some attention on this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/1371926
[11:41] <Stannaz> good and bad news
[11:41] <eeee> Stannaz: ?
[11:42] <Stannaz> login screen is back, lovely, but when I type my password in, it loops back to the same login screen (flashes black for less than a second, asks for login again)
[11:42] <Stannaz> it has a ubuntu symbol for choosing between GNOME and ubuntu
[11:42] <Stannaz> tried both, both do the same
[11:42] <eeee> Stannaz: ok, open a tty
[11:42] <Stannaz> I am
[11:42] <Stannaz> on irssi
[11:42] <Stannaz> on a tty
[11:42] <Stannaz> another one, okay
[11:42] <eeee> type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[11:43] <Eduard_Munteanu> Seriously, it's almost 2015 and Ubuntu admins think MD5 is a fine hash.
[11:43] <Stannaz> uhm.. I typed it, it showed one file?
[11:43] <Eduard_Munteanu> They must be consuming it some other way than intended.
[11:44] <Tiberios>   /j #samba
[11:44] <daftykins> Eduard_Munteanu: bad place to have a rant, given it's mostly volunteers. try getting on a relevant mailing list
[11:44] <Stannaz> well a folder I think
[11:44] <eeee> ok, does it say root root , or your username ?
[11:44] <Stannaz> root root
[11:44] <Eduard_Munteanu> daftykins, thanks, haven't considered mailing lists.
[11:44] <eeee> ok, type sudo chown <your username>: ~/.Xauthority
[11:44] <Stannaz> okay
[11:45] <Stannaz> completed with no output
[11:45] <eeee> ok,
[11:45] <Stannaz> repeating the first comand says aaron aaron (my username)
[11:45] <Stannaz> command*
[11:45] <eeee> ok, great
[11:45] <eeee> try to login
[11:45] <Stannaz> okay
[11:46] <Stannaz> okay, it said system problem detected, I clicked ok, now it's gone into gnome(I think I had gnome selected), I'll log out and select ubuntu
[11:46] <eeee> ok
[11:47] <Stannaz> okay it's logged in, but there's a system problem detected box
[11:47] <Stannaz> all else appears okay
[11:48] <ginkgolts> #help
[11:48] <eeee> that's ok
[11:48] <Stannaz> okay looking at the problems, it looks like an issue with teamviewer, so I'll simply uninstall and install that
[11:48] <Stannaz> thank you very much for your help, it looks like my issue has been sorted
[11:49] <eeee> no problem

[11:59] <plasterer> hi
[12:00] <Stannaz_> Hello
[12:00] <marjan_> hmm
[12:07] <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?
[12:08] <eeee> "'
[12:08] <Quatroking> '"?
[12:08] <Stannaz_> http://alternativeto.net/software/synergy/
[12:09] <Quatroking> Stannaz_, none of them seem to support linux
[12:09] <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
[12:10] <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
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <Quatroking> oh well guess I'll have to live with it
[12:13] <Stannaz_> hm
[12:13] <Stannaz_> appears so
[12:14] <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.
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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
[12:18] <Stannaz_> yeah, my bad
[12:18] <Quatroking> lets install dconf editor either way, see what it has to offer
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <Quatroking> heh
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <Quatroking> looks pretty interesting but doesn't involve the screen
[12:22] <Quatroking> a ram drive is probably something I could really use though
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <eeee> Quatroking: did you check gsettings list-recursively | grep brightness ?
[12:27] <Quatroking> lemme make a screenshot of the feature
[12:28] <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
[12:34] <Quatroking> eeee, Stannaz_, the "Turn screen off when inactive for" setting: http://i.imgur.com/F5GWXHL.png
[12:35] <Quatroking> This is only global, there doesn't seem to be a way to make it battery-only
[12:37] <Quatroking> If you want, I got two another issues that are also brain-breaking?
[12:37] <Quatroking> :D
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <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.
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <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....
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <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?
[12:45] <eeee> try to manually lower it, it should turn off
[12:45] <Quatroking> Okay, I've put idle-brightness on 0
[12:46] <Quatroking> unplugged the AC and now all we do is wait
[12:46] <elohimswagger> I'm having an issue untarring.
[12:46] <elohimswagger> Anyone willing to help?
[12:47] <Stannaz_> does tar -xvf archive.tar not work?
[12:47] <cheqisurl> tar -cvf archive.tar
[12:48] <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.
[12:49] <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?
[12:50] <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
[12:51] <elohimswagger> I had a problem with this before with both tar and gunzip.
[12:51] <elohimswagger> And when I was successful, it didn't untar to the dir.
[12:52] <Stannaz_> so navigating to the directory it's in, then doing gunzip filename.tar.gz didn't work
[12:52] <Stannaz_> ?
[12:53] <rubiksmomo> Why does Unison throw "Error in renaming" while trying to sync over FTP? http://pastebin.com/WgTPDncY
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <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.
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <Quatroking> lets plug the AC back in and see if it all stays on
[12:59] <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] <Ade> hi
[12:59] <eeee> you mean /home ?
[12:59] <__unik> there is no root folder in ubuntu
[13:00] <elohimswagger> It's on a different machine with no net access otherwise I would do it easily from the reprositories.
[13:00] <cheqisurl> cd /Home/Desktop/winrar/
[13:00] <eeee> elohimswagger: home is without a H
[13:00] <cheqisurl> then tar -zxvf  rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz
[13:00] <eeee> try /home
[13:01] <eeee> wait
[13:01] <elohimswagger> No such file or dir.
[13:01] <eeee> that doesn't make sense
[13:01] <eeee> /home/<user>/Desktop
[13:01] <elohimswagger> I'm on an ubuntu-based distro.
[13:01] <eeee> just navigate to it by each directory
[13:01] <Quatroking> eeee, nope, screen goes off on AC too
[13:02] <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?
[13:03] <eeee> elohimswagger: type sudo find / -iname "rarlinux*"
[13:03] <elohimswagger> Thanks!
[13:03] <natural> hlo
[13:03] <natural> i am new to git ... please hlp me to add an image to the repostory
[13:04] <cheqisurl> try command  "whereis  rarlinux-5.1.1.tar.gz"
[13:04] <eeee> cheqisurl: it'd have to be in his PATH i think
[13:04] <elohimswagger> We're in business!
[13:04] <elohimswagger> Thanks, guys!
[13:04] <eeee> no problem

[13:06] <natural> help !!!
[13:06] <natural> ????
[13:07] <Wulframn> natural: that's not really an Ubuntu issue, is it?
[13:07] <cfhowlett> natural, git ain't linux.  see the git channels for details
[13:07] <eeee> natural: try to ask in /join #git
[13:07] <natural> ok thnx.. ppl
[13:08] <eeee> natural: it's a huge channel
[13:08] <eeee> ( #git )
[13:08] <eeee> you'll be ok
[13:08] <AR45> pre-released updates (to tick or not to tick)
[13:08]  * AR45 is scared
[13:09] <cfhowlett> AR45, there's leading and there's bleeding edge.  do the math.  and ... you break it, you fix it.
[13:10] <AR45> cfhowlett, let's see if it breaks ;)
[13:10] <OerHeks> You don't want pre-released or proposed updaes, unless you really want it.
[13:10] <Barcelona1937> hello
[13:10] <AR45> Why didn't anyone tell me GNOME 3 was so good....
[13:10] <paulcsiki> Hello everyone
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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?
[13:13] <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
[13:14] <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] <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*
[13:15] <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 ....
[13:16] <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
[13:17] <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] <OerHeks> !info gnome
[13:17] <cfhowlett> Nexia, yep
[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 ...
[13:18] <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.
[13:19] <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] <cfhowlett> Nexia, sure.  plug in and back up.
[13:19] <Nexia> Neat, thanks guys, that should solve my thing here!
[13:22] <paulcsiki> eeee: testdisk is running, will take a while. Since I only messed up the /dev/sda2 partition, why the /dev/sda5 partition disappeared?
[13:23] <paulcsiki> eeee: Also if I recreated the sda2 partition the exact same way as it was before why it's not finding the lvm group in /dev/mapper/ at boot?
[13:23] <paulcsiki> eeee: what have I done to cause that?
[13:25] <eeee> TJ-: you there?
[13:26] <berz3rk> Can someone help me catch the right udev event from bluetooth, and create the right devicefile https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/joystick#PS3_controller "creating the udev rule" . monitor: http://www.fpaste.org/141247/13118244/raw/
[13:26] <B0bsF1sh> Anyone know a solution for this: When using multitail with the -l -R options to run a command, if I try to use "b" to scroll back in a file, it collapses the scrollback buffer when the command refreshes
[13:26] <TJ-> eeee: Yes
[13:30] <TJ-> paulcsiki: wild guess with no supporting evidence - sda2 is/was an extended partition which contained as its 1st logical partition sda5. So re-creating sda2 would also need to ensure it starts at the same sector it did previously else the original sda5 won't show up
[13:30] <eeee> TJ-: paulcsiki has deleted his /dev/sda2 , and after restoring his partition table, /dev/sda5 is no longer there, this is his old partition info http://paste.ubuntu.com/8545831/
[13:31] <paulcsiki> TJ-: I ran eeee's advice and ran TestDisk
[13:31] <paulcsiki> TJ-: after a while he found the partitions and I wrote the partition table and now everything is booting well
[13:31] <paulcsiki> TJ- and eeee: Thank you!!
[13:32] <TJ-> That was quick :)
[13:32] <berz3rk> no udev master here?
[13:32] <eeee> no problem
[13:32] <eeee> TJ-: where have you been?
[13:32] <excelsiora> so I've got an encrypted drive, and I just discovered I have no swap and four bad blocks. Suggestions?
[13:33] <paulcsiki> TJ- and eeee: now I am back at my original problem
[13:34] <paulcsiki> eeee, TJ-: I wanted to expand my virtual box disk from 250gb to 600gb
[13:34] <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 :(
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <TJ-> paulcsiki: "vgdisplay" will list, amongst other things, the number of size of Free Extents in the VG(s)
[13:38] <Sc0tty-> hi, I want to download opencv from github onto a beaglebone black using wget, but it is only downloading a small .git file, what am I doing wrong?
[13:39] <net125mp> how do you access the grub2 installer from ubuntu?
[13:39] <net125mp> Ive already installed ubuntu, but i need to reinstall grub
[13:39] <eeee> net125mp: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx
[13:40] <elohimswagger> Anyone here familiar with droid rooting?
[13:40] <net125mp> eeee: how do i tell what sdx i have?
[13:40] <eeee> ( if you're booted into the installation, not a live usb )
[13:40] <net125mp> sd1 2 3 whatever
[13:41] <eeee> net125mp: type df , and see where "/" is mounted
[13:41] <eeee> if you want to install grub on the same disk, use /dev/sda or /dev/sdb etc.
[13:41] <eeee> ( without any partition numbers )
[13:42] <paulcsiki> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8545976/ vgdisplay
[13:42] <cfhowlett> elohimswagger, not really the channel for that, right?
[13:42] <net125mp> eeee: when i do df i dont see a /
[13:43] <eeee> net125mp: there is no mounted on "/" ?
[13:43] <net125mp> eee: i see a dev/sr0
[13:43] <net125mp> eeee: and a dev/loop0
[13:43] <Lucax> Hello
[13:44] <eeee> net125mp: are you in the ubuntu installation? or a livecd?
[13:44] <net125mp> live cd
[13:44] <Lucax> Does anyone know why my libreoffice (unity) does not have the option to record macro?
[13:45] <Lucax> any way to add that option, it is supposed to be default but it is simply not there
[13:45] <eeee> net125mp: ok, you need to mount the ubuntu installation and chroot, first type sudo parted -l , and see which partition it is
[13:45] <eeee> net125mp: also, is this a efi machine?
[13:45] <net125mp> not efi, but i have multiple operating systems
[13:45] <net125mp> do i need to mount all of them
[13:45] <eeee> net125mp: no
[13:46] <OerHeks> Lucax, https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Recording_a_Macro
[13:47] <eeee> net125mp: do you have a /boot partition?
[13:47] <net125mp> i dont see one when i do df eeee:
[13:48] <eeee> net125mp: sudo parted -l
[13:48] <hamiak> hello, anybody can help me to set up network in ubuntu?
[13:49] <net125mp> eeee: i get dev/sda  with two entries. 1 = ntfs flags=boot  2 225gb  nothing listed. for some reason im not seeing my other OS
[13:49] <net125mp> eeee: it also says unable to open dev/sr0 read-write
[13:49] <TJ-> paulcsiki: I don't have the time to help as I'm heading out, but it looks like you need to ensure the underlying device is truly enlarged; probably the hypervisor storage device.
[13:49] <net125mp> im assuming sr0 is the cd
[13:50] <hamiak> anybody can help me?
[13:50] <eeee> net125mp: yes
[13:50] <hamiak> i have strange problem
[13:50] <net125mp> eeee: so what should i do?
[13:52] <eeee> net125mp: why are you reinstalling grub, what happened?
[13:52] <net125mp> i installed windows after linux
[13:52] <net125mp> killed my grub
[13:52] <eeee> ok
[13:52] <hamiak> GUYS, I NEED HELP! PLEASE RESPOND!
[13:52] <eeee> the multiple os you were talking about earlier, you meant windows?
[13:53] <cfhowlett> !ask | hamiak
[13:53] <paulcsiki> TJ-: Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Good day
[13:53] <net125mp> right, there is one windows, and a freebsd install (pfsense)
[13:53] <cfhowlett> hamiak, in other words STATE THE PROBLEM!  Ms Cleo doesn't work here - no telepaths on duty.
[13:53] <net125mp> eeee: on two partitions
[13:53] <AR45> hamiak, besides what sort of network.. you can't be ambiguous and expect us to help you out
[13:53] <eeee> net125mp: windows & freebcd, no ubuntu?
[13:54] <eeee> *freebsd
[13:54] <net125mp> eeee: right, not yet
[13:54] <net125mp> eeee: just using the ubuntu live cd to try and fix/setup grub
[13:54] <eeee> net125mp: i'm not so sure about reinstalling grub on freebsd, i'd recommend asking in the freebsd channel
[13:55] <net125mp> eeee: will do thanks
[13:55] <eeee> ( #freebsd )
[13:55] <_guest_> is there any screensaver that keeps running continuously?
[13:56] <cfhowlett> _guest_, if you power settings are set up right, any screensaver can run indefinitely
[13:56] <eeee> net125mp: no problem
[13:58] <_guest_> cfhowlett , i haven t correctly explained me. i meant a screensaver that let you interact with workspace while running at the same time
[13:59] <excelsiora> so I've got an encrypted drive, and I just discovered I have no swap and four bad blocks. Suggestions?
[13:59] <eeee> _guest_: you mean an interactive background?
[14:00] <_guest_> eeee , maybe , whats that? i ll check it out. does it exists?
[14:00] <eeee> _guest_: you want a background that is animated?
[14:00] <laurens181> Hi!
[14:00] <eeee> or you actually want this to be over the whole workspace all the time? as in over the windows you're currently using
[14:00] <_guest_> eeee , not a background
[14:01] <_guest_> eeee ,  over the windows you're currently using

[14:11] <AR45> Having a lil problem that I'm having quite some time fixing (when I reboot my computer and it's starting up it gets hung up on Waiting for Network Configuration for 2 minutes I'd say and then it stops waiting and boots)
[14:11] <AR45> Any idea how to solve this?
[14:11] <AR45> I'm on WIFI as well.
[14:11] <eeee> _guest_: this comes up, i'm not sure autohotkey works on ubuntu though,http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/53209-make-window-transparent-and-click-through-it/
[14:11] <AR45> I have the right drivers just thinking something isn't being initialized at boot or what?
[14:13] <_guest_> eeee , do yo know a screensaver where a sphere keeps moving distorting the image where it passes?
[14:14] <_guest_> eeee, thanks anyway
[14:18] <dae> hi (Lubuntu-fr 14.04 on HP) do you have a idea why i take "ign" on apt-update on the all translation-fr lign thanks
[14:18] <dae> hi eeee
[14:18] <eeee> _guest_: i've seen screensavers like that, i don't know where to get them on ubuntu though
[14:19] <eeee> _guest_: if it is only an object passing by, that would be easy to get, if it has to be clickable that would be harder
[14:19] <eeee> ( i mean if it doesn't matter that you click on it and nothing happens )
[14:19] <vitimiti> Hi
[14:20] <_guest_> eeee , it has to be clickable i always thought about the panel bar not being refreshed
[14:22] <michagogo> Hi, does anyone know if there's a way on Ubuntu to seed a torrent from a compressed file?
[14:23] <michagogo> Or, more generally, a way to compress a file on disk invisibly, in a way that will allow it to be read from as if it were uncompressed?
[14:24] <__zug__> I'm trying to get a screensaver running. When searching for gnome-screensaver, it says I already have it in the Software Center but I'm seeing it anywhere. Any tips? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.
[14:29] <_guest_> eeee , but hey, i m very happy with ubuntu, that was just a thought
[14:32] <AR45> http://pastebin.com/jALy1a4n

[14:33] <ikonia> AR45: is it a problem with the file, or the contents
[14:34] <AR45> ikonia, idk! I ran this cmd before 'chmod 0600 /etc/network/interfaces'

[14:39] <ikonia> sheena1: #lubuntu, or you can ask here
[14:40] <_guest_> ikonia , it just says that

[14:40] <ikonia> AR45: no
[14:40] <sheena1> when i try to run desktop preferences, i got a "Desktop manager is not active" error. i did some googling and attempted to reinstall pcmanfm, as that seemed to be a common solution. Now, pcmanfm doesn't run, I get the same popup error when I try to run it from gui or terminal.
[14:40] <eeee> _guest_: sudo apt-get install ccsm compiz-plugins
[14:41] <sheena1> all i wanted to do was fix my suspend time out, and now i've broken things even more :(
[14:41] <AR45> ikonia, ifup: failed to open lockfile /run/network/.ifstate.lock: Permission denied

[14:41] <geirha> AR45: or put in other words, the leading 0 would not make a difference to and from. It still gets treated as an octal number
[14:41] <ikonia> eeee: why are you telling him to install copmiz-plugins when he's getting an error on boot/login
[14:41] <ikonia> AR45: remove that file (or just reboot to clear down)
[14:41] <AR45> ikonia, delete or reboot?
[14:41] <ikonia> AR45: either
[14:41] <_guest_> ikonia , i ve asked another thing before

[15:20] <DJones> cfhowlett: I think all that will do is point them at #ubuntu-ru to spam
[15:20] <cfhowlett> DJones, better there than here ... I don't speak RU
[15:20] <eeee> _guest_: i don't think that has a lot of stuff, if you installed compiz settings manager, install the compiz-plugins and then run compiz from the dash

[15:22] <manco> hi all
[15:23] <manco> guys, im having a bit of an issue with my sound after the latest kernel update 3.13.0-37, i think.. tried everything i could.. running out of options.
[15:25] <AlexPortable> How can I restore a backup I made with clonezilla?
[15:25] <manco> alsamixer seems to be ok, no device muted or anything. pavucontrol shows the right devices and the aplication "sounding"
[15:26] <manco> ping someone ?
[15:26] <manco> @AlexPortable you want to restore it on another partition or over your actual system?
[15:26] <AlexPortable> actual system
[15:26] <AlexPortable> empty harddisk
[15:26] <AlexPortable> old harddisk died
[15:27] <manco> oh ok
[15:28] <manco> @AlexPortable did you tried folowing a guide for restoring a clonezilla image?
[15:28] <_guest_> eeee , i do i switch between windows managers?

[15:29] <Hulio> help is on my way?
[15:29] <trndr> Hulio run lspci and give us the ID of the card0 (if it's there)
[15:31] <manco> @AlexPortable ok, that do you have backed up? is it a full disk backup?
[15:32] <AlexPortable> yes
[15:32] <AlexPortable> partitions backup i think
[15:32] <AlexPortable> but how do i restore it?
[15:33] <manco> @AlexPortable if it doesn't shows you the restoredisk option my guess is that clonezilla is not finding the images to restore from..
[15:35] <igor> hi
[15:36] <AlexPortable> manco: thanks
[15:36] <AlexPortable> that seems logical
[15:37] <manco> @AlexPortable where do you have the actual backup?

[15:47] <AlexPortable> manco: on my external hdd
[15:47] <ubuntu556> hello. can someone help me? i think i have  a virus or something.
[15:47] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, unlikely.  details???
[15:47] <ubuntu556> everything i have written on my computer is saved into terminal history. why is it doing this? including my passwords
[15:48] <eeee> _guest_: what crashed?
[15:48] <eeee> _guest_: compizsettings manager?
[15:48] <ubuntu556> in terminal when i press the up key i can see stuff i have written before
[15:48] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, bash history is default but ... passwords are saved in plain text???
[15:48] <ubuntu556> no like passwords i have logged in to websites
[15:49] <ubuntu556> and applications like skype
[15:49] <cfhowlett> !paste | ubuntu556, screenshot ...
[15:50] <ubuntu556> i cant give u a sceenshot... its stuff i have written in emails..skype.. everything
[15:50] <TekNinja> hi
[15:51] <Hulio> ok my wifi card is BMC4322
[15:51] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, you write your skype in terminal?
[15:52] <ubuntu556> no, but in my terminal history i can see when i logged in to skype with my password. and write in skype for a few hours, AND write in websites, my google searches.. everything. it only seemed to stay for one day
[15:52] <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] <ubuntu556> like somehow everything i did on my keyboard got typed in terminal?how is that even possible
[15:52] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, terminal would not capture websearch history.  it WILL capture terminal commands
[15:53] <ubuntu556> its not capturing my websearch history. it is capturing what i am writing
[15:53] <Hulio> ok my wifi card is BMC4322...how ot make this work in ubuntu 14.04
[15:53] <Hulio> come on man.
[15:53] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, unless you are writing from the terminal --- it is not
[15:53] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | Hulio
[15:53] <ubuntu556> then how did this get here then?
[15:53] <ubuntu556> it only lasted for a day
[15:55] <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.
[15:57] <ubuntu556> cfhowlett:  814 lines, and around 511 lines i have written :/
[15:57] <ubuntu556> all the 511 lines that isnt commands were from yesterday
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <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.
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, why ctrl-f11???
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <ubuntu556> that is just example what it says in my history... some lines are just long long long of me typing stuff
[16:04] <ubuntu556> cfhowlett:  have u encountered this before? it feels very unsafe..because i am a safe person, and this happens.. makes me worried
[16:05] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, I've not - ever.  not normal .bash behavior but I have to wonder if you triggered something via CLI.  a

[16:06] <neh201> I have a problem connecting with eth0 to the internet. I can access the internet with wlan0 but not with eth0. Firstly ifconfig didn't gave a inet addr with eth0. After doing sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0, ifconfig did give me an inet addr next to eth0. But when I disable WiFi in Unity but leave "Enable networking" it doesn't connect to the internet ( I can not access google or anything). Can anyone please help?
[16:06] <ubuntu556> something happened when i started lightdm again.... i think this might be some vulnerability
[16:06] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, if you could reproduce it ... ?
[16:06] <ubuntu556> ok let me try
[16:07] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, hey did the keystroke logging persist after logout/login/reboot?
[16:07] <ecky--ptang-zoob> When doing ls -la - it shows 2 columns of owners, what's the different between the 2?
[16:07] <ubuntu556> nope. last was yesterday evening
[16:07] <ubuntu556> so it seems to have stopped after i restarted
[16:07] <ubuntu556> or shutdown, went to sleep,etc
[16:08] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, that behavior suggest you invoked it ...
[16:08] <ubuntu556> exactly
[16:08] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, and as it hasn't reappeared ....
[16:08] <ubuntu556> when i press ctrl +alt + f1 now.. i cant launch the command thingy
[16:08] <ubuntu556> my sounds disappears and i get pulseaudio crash
[16:09] <vl4kn0> Hi, I tried to play borderlands 2 on ubuntu with nvidia proprietary drivers but the performance is very low, making it almost impossible to play the game. I've read that it is possible to tweak the performance using compizconfig-settings-manager but I don't know what to tweak. Any experience?
[16:09] <neh201> Also the GUI says that: "Wired Network - Device not managed"
[16:09] <ubuntu556> cfhowlett:  how do i launch the command line thing that doesnt use GUI?
[16:10] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, I suspect you're going to find the answer in your logs - somewhere.  It's worth tracking buut it doesn't sound like a hack.  ctrl alt f1        does it for me
[16:10] <neh201> vl4kn0: Use Bumblebee forr NVIDIA support on linux: http://bumblebee-project.org/
[16:10] <ubuntu556> yeah.. i wrote sudo lightdm start, then 500 lines of me typing lol
[16:11] <ubuntu556> ctrl alt f1 doesnt work now...i t has always worked..in every fucking distro i have had...what is going on.. this might be a virus?? lol
[16:11] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, could your keyboard settings / keybindings be off?  also - language
[16:12] <ubuntu556> nope?
[16:12] <ubuntu556> this is what it says when i write it in terminal
[16:12] <ubuntu556> Failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, do you have appropriate permissions?
[16:12] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, what does cat /etc/issue             return?
[16:13] <ubuntu556> Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l
[16:13] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, stranger and stranger ...
[16:13] <ubuntu556> i havent even had a virus on windows, now this shit happens lmao
[16:14] <ubuntu556> do u know any channel here where people know how to fix this ? or find what caused this? otherwise i might just shut off and install something else
[16:14] <vl4kn0> neh201: why bumblebee?
[16:15] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, 14.04.1 is current LTS so perhaps its' time to upgrade?
[16:16] <neh201> vl4kn0: Because has been made to make use of how NVIDIA gpus are made
[16:16] <kill-9> Pulling code with CVS. what is the difference between checkout and get?
[16:16] <ubuntu556> cfhowlett: true, but still? curiousity will kill me, i want to know what caused this, if it is a virus
[16:17] <neh201> vl4kn0: Just install it on Ubuntu and you will see that your game will run much faster
[16:18] <cfhowlett> ubuntu556, I'm thinking more along the lines of an undocumented OHE
[16:18] <kill-9> cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_5_5 -P src  "vs" cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_5_5 -P src

Installation went fine but when computer restarted i was getting "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found"
[16:58] <OnceMe> @ is for reboot?
[16:58] <LinxCat> Could not figure out what is going on so I re-installed 12.04
[16:58] <LinxCat> and everything works fine.
[16:58] <LinxCat> question is, should i now try to upgrade to 14.04?
[17:00] <LinxCat> that should have said "installed 12.04" not "reinstalled 12.04"
[17:00] <OnceMe> lasers:not works ;(
[17:00] <OnceMe> i didnt get any notify
[17:01] <lasers> OnceMe: It might not happen immediately -- Maybe next hour. I don't know. I had this problem myself too... with poweroff (every night).
[17:02] <lasers> OnceMe: Then it worked fine the next time.
[17:02] <OnceMe> i need reboot appereantly
[17:05] <lasers> OnceMe: Replace @daily with */5 * * * *    -- And reboot. If it worked okay, then ya. Fix it back.
[17:05] <lasers> Every 5 minutes.

[17:32] <OerHeks> B0bsF1sh, yes, not executed.
[17:32] <Basketball> ctrl shift u the unicode
[17:33] <B0bsF1sh> Is there a cron/anacron specific logfile somewhere with more info?
[17:33] <fxdx> word
[17:33] <OerHeks> B0bsF1sh, no, default in /var/log/syslog
[17:34] <OerHeks> grep CRON /var/log/syslog
[17:34] <OerHeks> B0bsF1sh, if you want a seperate cron log, see http://askubuntu.com/a/121560
[17:35] <fxdx> whats the latest version of ubuntu?
[17:35] <B0bsF1sh> I have both cron and anacron showing up in the log.  the cron.hourly is under CRON and doesn't look like it's failing. the anacron one looks like it is failing (cron.daily)
[17:35] <fxdx> only website i can access is this one, so don't tell me to look around
[17:35] <OerHeks> fxdx, 14.04 LTS
[17:35] <B0bsF1sh> Nah I'm fine with it in syslog, I just wanted to know if there was more info somewhere else.
[17:36] <AlexPortable> How can i restore clonezilla image of 500 gb to 160 gb hdd?
[17:36] <B0bsF1sh> So is it a problem that anacron doesn't execute the cron.daily every day?
[17:36] <fxdx> OerHeks: thanks, copy that!
[17:36] <OerHeks> B0bsF1sh, no, you have not configured sendmail, that is in the error
[17:37] <sixequalszero> How can I scroll a terminal that's running in screen?
[17:38] <tyrosine> QUESTION: I have a headless ubuntu box on a non-internet-connected LAN. My current computer (windows) has two NICs, and can access both internet and the LAN. I wish to SSH to my ubuntu box and install software with apt-get (with many dependencies). Is there a way I can "share" my internet through the SSH tunnel? I usually read about it working in the other direction...
[17:38] <B0bsF1sh> I thought the sequence was 1) anacron fails to do something (not sure what the something is), 2) in response it tried to send an email to alert me of the failure, but sendmail isnt' set up. Are you saying the error just means sendmail isnt' set up but there isn't a bigger problem?
[17:38] <OerHeks> B0bsF1sh, just that.
[17:41] <AlexPortable> How can i restore clonezilla image of 500 gb to 160 gb hdd?
[17:41] <OerHeks> AlexPortable, not, maybe you can open the image and select the files you wat ( up to 160 gb)
[17:42] <OerHeks> wat-want*
[17:44] <AlexPortable> i want all files
[17:44] <AlexPortable> I just made a fresh install for future computers to use
[17:44] <AlexPortable> configured everything to my liking
[17:44] <robb4n> Hi, Could anyone help me, im using SSH in terminal on latest ubuntu to one of my other virtual machines.. Im running a python script in the ssh terminal, and in the script im running it open 3 more terminals usualy.. but since Im in the SSH terminal now and not the graphical desktop, how can i switch between the terminals that the script opened? :)
[17:45] <OerHeks> AlexPortable, how would you store 500 gb on 160 gb ?
[17:45] <tyrosine> robb4n, the program "screen" may help?
[17:46] <AlexPortable> OerHeks: not, i only used 30 gb or so
[17:46] <robb4n> tyrosine: it doesnt seems to work, i dont know how i would explain it easier what i ment
[17:46] <AlexPortable> 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
[17:47] <robb4n> tyrosine: If im in the gnome3 enviremont on that virtualbox Im ssh:ed into.. and running the script it opens 3 seperate terminal windows, and in each window it runns 3 diffrent things.. Now when I trying to only use SSH/terminal to that machine and run the python script, it works.. but I dont see the other screens :)
[17:48] <linocisco> ubuntu 14.04 LTS sucks on Acer Aspire 5750
[17:48] <robb4n> tyrosine: so i would like to know, how to switch to the other terminals that the python script opened.. the screens list doesnt show anything only 1 and that screen is the script im running
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <AlexPortable> so there is no need for 500 gb to be stored on 160 gb
[17:50] <Finetundra> how would i run a security scan?
[17:51] <AlexPortable> Finetundra: what' s a security scan?
[17:51] <linocisco> when copying big folders of 290 GB, even with RAM 8GB, performance degraded and other clicks are not working anymore
[17:51] <bastidrazor> Finetundra: like a virus scan?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[17:52] <berz3erk> can someone please take a look ? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26327818/how-to-add-symlink-devicefile-for-bluetooth-gamepad-via-udev-rule
[17:52] <Finetundra> bastidrazor, yes thank you
[17:55] <tyrosine> robb4n, screen -r I think
[17:55] <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?
[17:58] <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?
[18:00] <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.
[18:01] <AlexPortable> So what would be the best I can do?
[18:02] <WAR10CK> help me
[18:03] <AlexPortable> WAR10CK: if you help me fifrst

[18:09] <ubuntu678> hello, could someone help me? something is logging down my keystrokes and saving down on my computer..i dont know what
[18:10] <labsin> ubuntu678, How do you know they are saved?
[18:10] <ubuntu678> because i can view them
[18:10] <WAR10CK> terus terang saya masih kesulitan , saya pengguna baru
[18:10] <ecky--ptang-zoob> Is your monitor plugged in?
[18:10] <ZieLonKa> anyone who can help me? any kind of help appreciated
[18:11] <labsin> ubuntu678, In a file?
[18:11] <ubuntu678> yess
[18:12] <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?
[18:13] <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?
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <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
[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?
[18:18] <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.
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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?
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <simonor> zergut:ettercap
[18:22] <AlexPortable> Zaitzev:they do exist
[18:22] <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?
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <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?
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <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.
[18:29] <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.
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <kgwgk_> unless you write a script to backup specific things..
[18:32] <kgwgk_> hmm - does clonezilla archive?
[18:32] <bekks> kgwgk_: clonezilla clones stuff :)
[18:32] <kgwgk_> bekks: ;D
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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.
[18:35] <kgwgk_> ah. i came in late :P
[18:36] <kgwgk_> i guess that's a wrap then
[18:36] <simonor> kgwgk_: Okay. Nice to know I'm not nuts.
[18:40] <netlar> Searching in the Dash uses Locate right?
[18:41] <geirha> netlar: I'm guessing it keeps its own database for that
[18:42] <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?
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <hulio> download the 331 version?
[18:46] <netlar> Everytime I ask questions about Unity , just seems like that is a black hole
[18:46] <Jake> how can I set the message that appears when a user connects via ssh on Ubuntu 14.04 (Server)
[18:46] <kgwgk_> system settings->software&updates->Additional Drivers
[18:46] <kgwgk_> and then select the nvidia binary driver
[18:46] <hulio> hey but i can't select
[18:47] <hulio> all grey out...
[18:47] <Jake> it used to work by editing /etc/motd
[18:47] <Jake>  but that no longer appears to be the case
[18:47] <kgwgk_> all grey out?
[18:47] <kgwgk_> click the window

[18:55] <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
[18:56] <hulio> ok

[18:57] <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?
[18:58] <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"
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <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.
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <hulio> kgwgk_, any fee good game for linux?
[19:05] <xangua> gnome-of-lawn: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[19:05] <hulio> i want to try out 1
[19:05] <kgwgk_> hulio: steam has a bunch of linux games now
[19:05] <pngo> 'lsusb' detects my nexus 4 phone, but 'adb devices' does not. Anyone with same issue?
[19:05] <hulio> is it free?
[19:05] <gnome-of-lawn> I want a clean install.
[19:05] <daftykins> pngo: got developer mode on?
[19:05] <bastidrazor> hulio: freeciv
[19:05] <SchrodingersScat> hulio: plenty of games in your repos as well
[19:06] <hulio> SchrodingersScat, i am interested on running 1 good graphic games :)
[19:06] <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
 i'm using ubuntu-touch so not such option.
[19:06] <hulio> first time to run on linux
[19:06] <kgwgk_> hulio: minecraft :P
 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/ ?
[19:07] <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] <_guest_> whats gtk? gnome?
[19:08] <kgwgk_> gnome tool kit
[19:08] <AlexPortable> bekks: well other software was able to shrink it for me while restoring
 yes adb worked fine for long time, but now I have that problem.
[19:08] <AlexPortable> so which folders do i need to move to my new system?
[19:08] <kgwgk_> hulio: skyrim runs pretty well
[19:08] <daftykins> pngo: ok, as mentioned join the appropriate channel
[19:08] <AlexPortable> to haveall installed applications there?
[19:08] <felon> im having a problem running a run.sh file keeps saying insufficient permissions for device
[19:09] <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? I want a clean install, which is why i am using a disk.
[19:10] <hulio> kgwgk_, qbittorent is nice
[19:12] <kgwgk_> hulio: you can also try unreal tournament
[19:12] <hulio> are they free man
[19:12] <hulio> i dont know where to get them
[19:12] <Bowlers> accidentally did "mov /" instead of "mov ./" this morning, ubuntu crashed. using livecd now, trying to access hard drive. hard drive was encrypted. using this tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html "key slot 0 unlocked" never displays after password is typed.
[19:12] <kgwgk_> oh. do you not have any games?
[19:12] <hulio> i don't
[19:13] <kgwgk_> hulio: http://www.linuxgames.com/  , http://happypenguin.altervista.org/gametome.php
[19:14] <kgwgk_> hulio: you can filter by "free" http://happypenguin.altervista.org/gametome.php?q=&s_name=1&s_desc=1&s_cat=all&s_lic=shareware&submit=Search!
[19:14] <faiq> Hello
[19:14] <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?
[19:15] <daftykins> gnome-of-lawn: sounds like you didn't boot in EFI mode check...
[19:15] <daftykins> !uefi | gnome-of-lawn
[19:16] <hulio> kgwgk_, i use vmware workstation 10.0.2 to run windows 8
[19:16] <hulio> :)
[19:16] <gnome-of-lawn> How do i boot in EFI mode check?
[19:16] <kgwgk_> hulio: how else
[19:16] <hulio> i love it
[19:16] <kgwgk_> hulio: vmware workstation is awesome
[19:17] <hulio> probably better then virtualbox
[19:17] <daftykins> gnome-of-lawn: read the link
[19:17] <kgwgk_> hulio: if you can a$$ord it
[19:18] <kgwgk_> probably should have used lyre sign for that one instead of dollar. oh well
[19:20] <gnome-of-lawn> daftykins, my BIOS does boot in EFI mode
[19:20] <hulio> gnome-of-lawn, you have a bios?
[19:21] <rip1> hello to rip
[19:22] <rip> dcc close
[19:26] <igor> igprigorigor
[19:27] <hero> Which is better ubuntu unity or ubuntu gnome3
[19:27] <daftykins> there is no better, there's what works for you.
[19:27] <eeee> which tastes better chocolate or vanilla?
[19:28] <OerHeks> ubuntu unity runs on top of gnome3
[19:28] <bjrnar> I prefer Unity instead of Gnome Shell, but you might prefer something else.
[19:28] <bjrnar> That's the glory of Linux: Choice!
[19:31] <DoctorDalek> got a quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to
[19:31] <DoctorDalek> I know the network connection manager has network connection sharing built in and it works fine for me
[19:31] <thurstylark> When I try 'adb devices' I get "offline" listed for my device. Does anyone know why?
[19:31] <sydney> hero: you chose. :)
[19:31] <DoctorDalek> but I don't want the bridge to create its own network
[19:32] <daftykins> !touch | thurstylark
[19:32] <DoctorDalek> ie host interface is on 192.168.1.0/24 and I want eth1 to be on the same network
[19:32] <hero> As i am using unity ....can i just move to gnome by downloading some package or just again i have to download ubuntu 14.04 gnome
[19:32] <Giwrgaras> any idea why downloading with pip (Python install) in ubuntu fails? it says ascii codec cand decode byte 0xe2 in postition 72: ordinal not in range (128)
[19:33] <thurstylark> daftykins: How is this a touch question? I am trying to use supported packages on Desktop 14.04 to connect to an android device.
[19:33] <daftykins> thurstylark: ah, we just had someone claiming they were using adb with touch. my apologies, however i still think you'd find more relevant users there :)
[19:34] <thurstylark> daftykins: Alrighty. Thanks!
[19:34] <Finetundra> is there a way to create a live usb while rinning in live boot?
[19:35] <Finetundra> *running
[19:35] <hero> I have a problem ....... When sometime when i listen song from my external hard disk   .... As i remove hard disk  (when music is still playing)   screen just got paused    for about 20 second ..... An solution for this
[19:35] <krasnayarsk> Finetundra: You could apt-get install unetbootin and take it from there?
[19:35] <sydney> hero: You can just install gnome. DO you want to?
[19:35] <Finetundra> ok
[19:36] <hero> I want to try it
[19:36] <root> hello
[19:36] <root> can someone help me please
[19:36] <hero> Sydney : i just wanna feel the difference between unity and gnome3
[19:36] <sydney> Ok,just a min...
[19:36] <Guest8679> i am having a problem when making a new user, i made a remote desktp conection to ubuntu, and other ussers cannt connect.
[19:37] <Guest8679> they keep getting a grey screen
[19:37] <Finetundra> krasnayarsk, will it not target the live usb i'm running from?
[19:38] <Guest8679> someone please help me
[19:38] <krasnayarsk> Finetundra: I thought you said you were running from a live cd.
[19:38] <daftykins> Guest8679: first off it's really unwise being on IRC as root
[19:38] <krasnayarsk> Finetundra: I don't know.
[19:38] <Guest8679> I know, dafty
[19:38] <Guest8679> But that seems to be a problem
[19:38] <sydney> hero: Run in terminal ' sudo apt-get install gnome
[19:38] <sydney> sudo apt-get install gnome
[19:38] <Guest8679> If i make a new account, i am unable to login to my server
[19:38] <sydney>  :)
[19:38] <Guest8679> Via remote desktop connection
[19:38] <Guest8679> Since i am using a VPS with gnome installed
[19:38] <eeee> hero: if you want you can install ubuntu in a VM, take a snapshot, and install whatever DE's and mess all you want with it.
[19:39] <Finetundra> krasnayarsk, i did say live usb.
[19:39] <acerspyro> When my router goes offline (Router still powered on and connected to the computer), it takes maybe hald an hour for my computer to notice that it is offline. Then it keeps bugging me about it each 5 minutes and I have to disable the network. When I get my router back online and re-enable the network on my computer, it fails to connect.
[19:39] <sydney> hero: Sorry for double posting.
[19:39] <Guest8679> daftikins, could you please help me
[19:39] <eeee> hero: i mean, install virtualbox, and put a ubuntu installation there.
[19:39] <acerspyro> I tried re-connecting the wire, toggling the network state, disconnecting the network, nothing works, just keeps failing until I reboot.
[19:39] <hero> Sydney : it ok
[19:40] <acerspyro> Guest8679: Please stop nagging people here, we are not paid.
[19:40] <sydney> eeee: Whats wrong with just installing gnome?
[19:40] <kgwgk_> hulio: find anything ?
[19:40] <acerspyro> ok, whatever I guess.
[19:40] <hero> eeee: thanks virtual box idea is great
[19:40] <rip1> hello from rip
[19:40] <eeee> sydney: well it would leave his system untouched
[19:40] <hero> Sydney: thanks for information :)
[19:40] <hulio> kgwgk_, no, actually they are cost, nevermind
[19:41] <rip> you mean from rip1; this is rip
[19:41] <Finetundra> krasnayarsk, how do i know which is  which
[19:41] <sydney> oops ;)
[19:41] <hero> :) ;) (yl
[19:41] <hero> (Y)
[19:41] <sydney> Hit close accidentally...
[19:41] <hulio> kgwgk_, i try to play game asphalt 8 in vmware..sux on graphic
[19:42] <sydney> :P
[19:42] <kgwgk_> hulio: try some of the links i gave you for the free ones
[19:42] <hero> :/
[19:42] <kgwgk_> hulio: plenty of stuff - http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/
[19:43] <sydney> hero: So, what are you doing? You could also fire up ubuntu gnome on a flashdrive.
[19:43] <kgwgk_> hulio: http://megaglest.org/
[19:44] <eeee> sydney: well it would leave his system untouched, i once wanted to try xubuntu and i did so in a vm, upon restarting it actually broke i don't know why. If he wants he can mess all he wants and just restore the snapshots he takes.
[19:44] <guest661125> hola a todos!
[19:44] <sydney> hero: The best option would probably for you to try ubuntu from a flashdrive. ;)
[19:45] <hero>  Sydney: i can ....but right now i  just trying to remember all the instruction set of 8085 microprocessors ...otherwise that big man will not allow me to attend class for next 10 lecture
[19:45] <sydney> but all three ways we mentioned would do fine.
[19:45] <sydney> ok ;)
[19:46] <hero> Sydney eeee  thanks for suggestion .... I will apply your suggestion...just after i remember all instruction set :)
[19:48] <Giwrgaras> im running now ubuntu on virtual drive. When i tried to install it from the installer the bios skipped the boot from cd option as it usually does for windows. why is that?
[19:49] <Giwrgaras> devices of course are set to boot from cd
[19:49] <Giwrgaras> and im using the 14.04 from the official download page
[19:50] <sydney> hero: Preferably do the flashdrive idea first. Here is the link to download the ISO https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME :)
[19:50] <sydney> FYI ;)
[19:51] <AR45> Where can I download some nice icon and themes?
[19:54] <hero> Sydney: thanks again

[19:57] <tterrag> so, I'm trying to uninstall nvidia drivers via command line with grub, but booting into grub the command line seems very limited
[19:58] <tterrag> for example it can't find "sudo"
[19:58] <tterrag> soo
[19:59] <tterrag> any idea what's up?
[20:04] <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
[20:04] <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?
[20:09] <a7i3n> anyone know of a list of console based apps?
[20:09] <Bashing-om> tterrag: grub's command line is very limited. To access a means to remove nvidia driver try booting to a recovery console from the grub boot menu (enable networking).
[20:09] <Aaron> a7i3n, what type of apps,?
[20:10] <a7i3n> any kind of apps really just checking, or any recommendations...
[20:10] <a7i3n> <-- started computing on console
[20:10] <Aaron> a7i3n, type apt-cache search console
[20:10] <Aaron> and you'll see a list of packages with the term "console"
[20:11] <a7i3n> ok thanks Aaron
[20:11] <Aaron> no problem a7i3n
[20:11] <Aaron> !next
[20:11] <Aaron> xD
[20:14] <a7i3n> :)
[20:28] <halphax> Hi, I think the latest kernel upgrade in 14.04 might have introduced some ugly bugs. 3.13.0-37-generic provides ICRC ABRT errors in dmesg and completely locks up my server, but a revert to 3.13.0-36-generic purrs as well as it did. Any known experiences similar/bugs?
[20:39] <b100s> hi2all
[20:39] <jroes> just booted after installing nvidia drivers, getting a blinking screen from my monitor indicating that nothing is plugged in. I can't switch to tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1, what should I do?
[20:39] <EriC^^> hi b100s
[20:39] <b100s> which util should i use to create common db file in my ubuntu?
[20:40] <EriC^^> jroes: it was working before?
[20:40] <jroes> EriC^^: yeah, the installer worked and it was working on first boot as well
[20:40] <jroes> is there another way to get to a console?
[20:40] <b100s> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[20:40] <EriC^^> jroes: restart, hold shift while booting > advanced > recovery
[20:41] <b100s> so, in man for vsftpd i found some like db_load but i'm not sure my pam ar using the same algorithm
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <jroes> EriC^^: held shift, still didnt get a display :/
[20:43] <EriC^^> jroes: you should get grub
[20:43] <jroes> I notice when I hit ctrl+alt+f1, it beeps, *shrug*
[20:43] <jroes> but no video
[20:43] <jroes> EriC^^: I can plug the installer usb stick back in
[20:44] <EriC^^> jroes: ok, cool
[20:44] <EriC^^> when it loads up, sudo parted -l
[20:45] <Bashing-om> jroes: EFI mother board ? then use escape key rather than shift key to get grub boot menu.
[20:45] <jroes> EriC^^: so should I use try ubuntu?
[20:45] <EriC^^> jroes: yes
[20:46] <jroes> oh, actually
[20:46] <jroes> yeah esc worked
[20:46] <jroes> so I'm at the grub menu for my actual install (no usb plugged in)
[20:46] <Anuska> Hi, anyone know this error> http://pastebin.com/bDQnNWGC
[20:46] <jroes> should I take a look at advanced options?
[20:46] <EriC^^> great, advanced > recovery
[20:46] <EriC^^> sorry
[20:47] <jroes> cool, booting up, seeing console messages anyways
[20:47] <EriC^^> nevermind ^^
[20:47] <EriC^^> ok
[20:47] <EriC^^> when it loads up select to enable networking or something
[20:47] <jroes> stopped here at nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[20:47] <EriC^^> ok
[20:47] <jroes> should I try a prior kernel's recovery mode?
[20:48] <jroes> doesnt seem to be going any further here, can't switch ttys
[20:48] <EriC^^> i think it's to do with nvidia not the kernel
[20:48] <EriC^^> give it a shot if you want
[20:48] <bubbasaures> Anuska, Make sure the extension pack is the one for your vbox version, https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[20:48] <EriC^^> won't hurt
[20:49] <Anuska> yes
[20:49] <squinty> Anuska:  also virtualbox has it's own freenode channel   /join #vbox
[20:49] <Anuska> thanks
[20:52] <jroes> EriC^^: none of them seem to be going any further than showing me dmesg output
[20:52] <jroes> super weird
[20:53] <bobunkuth> i have a dual boot system and just lately ubuntu 14.04 reboots a couple of times before loading. Can one direct me to a solution?
[20:53] <reisio> bobunkuth: you'll have to elaborate more than that
[20:53] <bubbasaures> bobunkuth, Any fail tomount warnings?
[20:54] <EriC^^> jroes: boot the live usb
[20:54] <bobunkuth> when booting up cold I select ubuntu and it attempts to load and reboots twice before loading.
[20:54] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | jroes Might try this:
[20:55] <trndr> bobunkuth: most likely a hardware issue
[20:55] <EriC^^> ^^^ good idea Bashing-om , jroes
[20:55] <bubbasaures> !text | bobunkuth look at the text boot
[20:55] <bobunkuth> but windows 7 works fine
[20:55] <facepalm> pfft
[20:56] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: jroes Don't know, just worth a try and see, surprising that booting to 'recovery' mode was ineffective.
[20:59] <vkt> I have a 2pixel wide pink/purple line going down the left side of my desktop. It seems to be a common problem with gtx 660 gpus. Does someone know how to fix this bug?
[21:03] <jroes> yeah, tbh the installer was pretty wonky too
[21:03] <jroes> the cursor was trailing like mad
[21:03] <jroes> and there was a huge delay on keypresses
[21:03] <almostnoob> Hi, all. Can anyone please help me with issues with the package manager?
[21:03] <jroes> not sure if those are all symptoms of some other problem
[21:04] <jroes> haha, "nomodeset" is literally nowhere on the page linked
[21:04] <k1l_> almostnoob: what issues?
[21:05] <almostnoob> Thanks, k1l_. Eery time I try to update I'm just told that it requires installation of untrusted packages/from unauthenticated sources, and then it quits
[21:06] <kgwgk_> almostnoob: try using 'aptitude' instead of apt-get
[21:06] <k1l_> kgwgk_: that will not help
[21:06] <kgwgk_> if you have some messed up deps it may help fix it
[21:06] <kgwgk_> or not..
[21:06] <Bashing-om> jroes: Check your link -> "How to set NOMODESET and other kernel boot options in grub2 " .
[21:07] <k1l_> almostnoob: please run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and show the whole output in a pastebin please
[21:07] <kgwgk_> ^
[21:08] <almostnoob> k1l_: Sure, just a sec. My Ubuntu install is in Norwegian, though. Will that be a problem?
[21:08] <jroes> oh sorry, I was looking at the textonly mode
[21:08] <k1l_> almostnoob: just give it a go. i dont know how much of the errors are translated there
[21:09] <Bashing-om> jroes: :) , we just ry'n to help .
[21:11] <almostnoob> k1l_: http://www.pastebucket.com/58434
[21:11] <frib> what program can i use to edit the contents of a PDF file ?
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:19] <almostnoob> k1l_: Thanks, but that doesn't seem to have changed anything for me
[21:20] <k1l_> almostnoob: you did "apt-key adv ..."?
[21:21] <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?
[21:22] <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> Hello. Can someone help me fix my dual boot issues on UEFI with Windows 8? I've tried everything. Boot-repair doesn't work, rEFInd doesn't work. I've read the same solution everywhere and it just doesn't work
[21:22] <Bubo> I've been trying to install Ubuntu for days
[21:23] <Bubo> It boots directly into windows, without giving me any menu at all
[21:24] <Bubo> I have secure boot off
[21:24] <frib> Bubo, you need to hit the bios key
[21:25] <frib> Bubo, if you installed windows after ubuntu, it erased your bootloader
[21:25] <alami> i have ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop and i have a Problem with X, when i close the laptop can any one help please?
[21:25] <frib> i.e. grub
[21:25] <Bubo> frib: no I had windows and installed ubuntu after it
[21:25] <Bubo> frib: I tried boot-repair which supposedly fixed grub, but it doesn't work
[21:25] <EriC^^> Bubo: press esc and see if there's any boot options
[21:25] <frib> Bubo, windows has it's own boot partition these days
[21:26] <EriC^^> Bubo: which laptop is this? ( please don't say hp )
[21:26] <Bubo> It's HP :(
[21:26] <EriC^^> lol

[21:26] <Bubo> I've installed ubuntu 50 times and boot-repair always worked for me. But now it doesn't and I have no idea why
[21:26] <EriC^^> Bubo: press esc and see if there's the boot options, select ubuntu
[21:26] <Bubo> EriC^^: where do I press ESC?
[21:26] <EriC^^> and then you have some work to do...
[21:27] <EriC^^> Bubo: when you first turn on the pc
[21:27] <Bubo> EriC^^: Alright, let me try. brb
[21:29] <alami> i have ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop and i have a Problem with X, when i close the laptop can any one help please?
[21:30] <Funnyguy226> alami, x?
[21:30] <hero> 0x
[21:30] <Bubo> EriC^^: it fucking worked. I've been hitting my head in the wall for the past 5 days and all it needed was pressing esc. I owe you a beer
[21:30] <almostnoob> k1l_: I did both of those things, no change
[21:30] <EriC^^> Bubo: that's great, i know what you mean same thing happened with me
[21:30] <frib> i have a PDF with forms which Okular says it doesn't support but lets me fill them out anyway.  If i email the document will the data still be in the forms?
[21:30] <Bubo> EriC^^: stupid UEFI ._.
[21:31] <EriC^^> Bubo: you have a bit of stuff left to do though
[21:31] <adi__> hello.
[21:31] <EriC^^> Bubo: which hp is it specifically?
[21:31] <Bubo> EriC^^: Umm it's HP Envy 17
[21:31] <almostnoob> k1l_: No I turned off all 3rd party PPAs. I get fewer error messages, but still the same from the official repos
[21:31] <Funnyguy226> is it possible to donwgrade versions of ubuntu?
[21:31] <Bubo> EriC^^: what else do I need? I can just use ESC to boot in windows/ubuntu
[21:31] <EriC^^> Bubo: ok
[21:31] <EriC^^> Bubo: you can, if you want
[21:31] <Bubo> EriC^^: can I fix the menu to show automatically?
[21:32] <adi__> anyone can give me info about how to install itunes on ubuntu? the objective is to reset my apple tv 2.
[21:32] <EriC^^> Bubo: or you can have grub appear automatically, and select ubuntu or windows from there
[21:32] <Bubo> EriC^^: that's what is supposed to happen. How do I fix it?
[21:32] <EriC^^> Bubo: open a terminal
[21:32] <alami> Funnyguy226: X11 window
[21:32] <EriC^^> Bubo: type sudo efibootmgr -v
[21:32] <adi__> it can be done from itunes but i dont have a windows box or a mac. but i have ubuntu. can this be done?
[21:32] <The_Woodsman> is it still possible to change keyboard layouts in ubuntu 14.04? when I look in keyboard settings all I see are the typing and shortcut tabs, and nothing there appears to help with keyboard layouts
[21:33] <Bubo> EriC^^: no output
[21:33] <almostnoob> k1l_: When I run the apt-key command I get this error: http://www.pastebucket.com/58435
[21:33] <alami> Funnyguy226:when i close my laptop and open it, i can't type with the keyboard to log in
[21:34] <EriC^^> Bubo: did you type sudo?
[21:34] <Bubo> EriC^^: oh, yea I outputs now. Should I paste it for you?
[21:34] <adi__> Let me make the question better. how to reset my apple tv 2 through Itunes having only a laptop with ubuntu on it?
[21:35] <Bubo> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8548564/
[21:35] <k1l_> almostnoob: that is a lot of PPAs, even a mess
[21:35] <EriC^^> Bubo: no need really, does it say grubx64.efi or shimx64.efi ?
[21:35] <Bubo> EriC^^: it says a lot of stuff, since I had Arch installed before it..
[21:35] <adi__> Thanks in advance anyone.
[21:35] <AlexPortable> Any way I can move my system to another pc? I mean which directories should I backup?
[21:36] <EriC^^> Bubo: ok, looks like it's using grubx64.efi
[21:36] <AlexPortable> I don't want to reinstall all applications I have
[21:36] <Bubo> EriC^^: yes but still it boots directly into windows
[21:37] <holla> ciao
[21:37] <holla> !list
[21:37] <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?
[21:38] <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] <reisio> ubottu: warez the beef?
[21:38] <reisio> no chance there
[21:38] <Bubo> EriC^^: alright how do I do it?
[21:38] <k1l_> almostnoob: see last 3 answers: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214893
[21:39] <_guest_> im trying to change graphics board s drivers however i have canceled and im resuming. should i keep waiting?
[21:39] <EriC^^> Bubo: type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[21:40] <trollolol> Try lookinng here almostnoob: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1263540
[21:40] <trollolol> Apparently it's a known bug!
[21:40] <trollolol> Yeah what ubottu said :D
[21:40] <Bubo> EriC^^: alright done
[21:41] <Bubo> frib: does you HP have beats audio speakers? did you fix them?
[21:41] <AlexPortable> How do I make a bacup of my home folder?
[21:41] <EriC^^> Bubo: type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.backup
[21:42] <Bubo> EriC^^: done
[21:42] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: rsync -av /home/<user> /path/to/backup
[21:42] <jroes> EriC^^: hm, was able to get to recovery menu
[21:43] <EriC^^> Bubo: type ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/
[21:43] <frib> Bubo, yea it does
[21:43] <EriC^^> Bubo: are the backup files there?
[21:43] <jroes> apparently ubuntu hates my keyboard though, pressing up once moves the curso up all the way
[21:43] <frib> Bubo, i have the envy 15
[21:43] <frib> Bubo, fix them? why would i need to?
[21:43] <Bubo> EriC^^: yes they are
[21:43] <Bubo> frib: only 2 out of 4 speakers work and the woofer doesn't either
[21:44] <frib> Bubo, how did you determine that?
[21:44] <Bubo> frib: I listen..
[21:44] <EriC^^> Bubo: ok, now to copy grubx64.efi and rename it
[21:44] <AlexPortable> EriC^^: what is -av ?
[21:44] <frib> Bubo, I don't see 4 speakers
[21:44] <AlexPortable> and how can i read some folders that I don't have permision to
[21:45] <Bubo> frib: I had to fix them with jackretask (hdajackretask or what it was called) to enable them
[21:45] <Bubo> frib: Ah. is it a new laptop?
[21:45] <frib> Bubo, yea..
[21:45] <EriC^^> AlexPortable: -av is archive and verbose , preserves permissions and such
[21:45] <AlexPortable> Ah
[21:45] <almostnoob> k1l_: Yes, that worked! Thank you very much!
[21:46] <Bubo> frib: well I have 4 and a woofer. the woofer is not working and only 2 out of the other 4 are
[21:46] <AlexPortable> can't i just copy with trl a?
[21:46] <Bubo> EriC^^: what do I do?
[21:46] <chuck_> how do I get firefox to change text fields to black on white?  I just installed Gnomish Dark.

[21:46] <EriC^^> Bubo: type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[21:47] <Bubo> EriC^^: done
[21:47] <EriC^^> Bubo: type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
[21:47] <Bubo> done
[21:47] <EriC^^> ok
[21:47] <shau> whats the easiest way to increase the total amount of idle workers? ubuntu 12.04 apache
[21:47] <shau> : /
[21:47] <almostnoob> k1l_: I must say that a terrible bug, though. As long as one often can't get the latest version of apps without PPAs. Not your fault, of course. Just wanted to rant. Thanks again, you're a hero!
[21:48] <AlexPortable> Lets say I modify my start menu, where does it stores?
[21:48] <Bubo> EriC^^: should I test it?
[21:49] <AlexPortable> in my home folder?
[21:49] <EriC^^> Bubo: sudo efibootmgr -o 0000, 3007,3000,3001,3002,3003,3005,3006,2001,2002,2003
[21:49] <EriC^^> that will change the boot order to have ubuntu first
[21:49] <Bubo> alright done
[21:49] <EriC^^> now that the files are switched, it shouldn't put windows first again
[21:49] <_root_> hello
[21:49] <Bubo> EriC^^: ok let me test it
[21:49] <EriC^^> but it still might mess with things
[21:49] <shau> 318 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers
[21:49] <EriC^^> after you boot into windows
[21:50] <camtron> How do I restart Unity 2d? The panel and launchers suddenly disappeared.
[21:50] <reisio> camtron: ls /usr/bin/*unity*, one of those
[21:50] <Bubo> EriC^^: if it does, i'll just use ESC
[21:50] <EriC^^> it might not though ( doesn't here )
[21:50] <Bubo> or delete windows
[21:50] <EriC^^> try to reboot
[21:50] <Bubo> alright brb
[21:50] <EriC^^> ok
[21:50] <_root_> I am in the E17 right now I did install nvidia-331 an modprobe -r nouveau and modprobe nvidia. but still my season uses nouveau. how could I change that

[21:51] <bobby_> whats this?
[21:51] <_root_> reisio: So I did what I should do and what remains is restart x?
[21:52] <reisio> quite possibly

[21:59] <modelengine> Hello, Im looking for help with thunderbird. I saved my profiles.ini, performed a clean install, and now when I try to drop it into Tbird's folder it tells me that
[21:59] <modelengine> it can't recognize tbirds profile or something liek that
[21:59] <modelengine> help please
[22:01] <reisio> modelengine: you saved your ~/.mozilla/whatever dir?
[22:01] <modelengine> um let me just check one sec
[22:01] <Bubo> EriC^^: it's working, thanks
[22:02] <EriC^^> welcome back!
[22:02] <EriC^^> hold on
[22:02] <Bubo> now to fix my speakers
[22:02] <EriC^^> you have to fix the windows entry in grub first
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <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
[22:07] <reisio> modelengine: why're they gone?
[22:08] <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: mmm
[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?
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <Bubo> EriC^^: numlock off fixed it. what, why?
[22:11] <reisio> modelengine: yeah, I doubt there's much email saved in a 94 byte file
[22:12] <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
[22:13] <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?
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <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] <EriC^^> does anybody here save logs of this channel?
[22:16] <Bubo> EriC^^: okay, done
[22:16] <peyam> reisio, I'll check the manufature's homepage
[22:16] <bechampion> any cloud-init expert?
[22:16] <EriC^^> Bubo: ok, if you update-grub or install a new kernel, you'll have to modify it again
[22:16] <SchrodingersScat> EriC^^: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[22:16] <bechampion> or user
[22:17] <Bubo> EriC^^: they are logged here http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[22:17] <EriC^^> SchrodingersScat: i can't find a particular log and i don't know the day it was said on
[22:17] <Bubo> EriC^^: alright, just add .backup and it will work?
[22:17] <EriC^^> log should have TJ- mentioning efibootmgr -v
[22:18] <EriC^^> Bubo: yeah
[22:18] <Bubo> EriC^^: thanks a lot
[22:18] <EriC^^> Bubo: no problem
[22:18] <Bubo> I fixed my speakers problem too. now on to installing nvidia drivers and dota 2 :)
[22:19] <EriC^^> cool :)
[22:19] <Bubo> EriC^^: gksu opens programs with sudo?
[22:20] <peyam> reisio, is recommended resolution and max resolution same thing? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014139
[22:20] <EriC^^> Bubo: yes gksu is like sudo for GUI
[22:20] <Bubo> awesome
[22:20] <EriC^^> Bubo: sudo messes things up with GUI
[22:21] <Bubo> I know
[22:21] <Bubo> EriC^^: now I need to find my old ubuntu bash config.. do you have any where I can find examples of some usefull stuff?

[22:54] <AR45> ankk, and I suggest you take a look at their docs (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/)
[22:55] <AR45> ankk, I don't know much about apache
[22:55] <ankk> E: Unable to locate package apache2
[22:55] <ankk> AR45 it is a fresh install of ubuntu
[22:56] <ankk> should i do anything to reach these packages?
[22:56] <AR45> ankk, a fresh install of which version of ubuntu?
[22:56] <Flannel> ankk: Assuming your computer is connected to the internet, you'll need to do "sudo apt-get update" to update your package lists (and let your computer know about the repositories)
[22:56] <AR45> Flannel, yes forgot about that
[22:57] <AR45> ankk, yes do a sudo apt-get update
[22:58] <AR45> then run sudo apt-get install apache2
[23:01] <somebody> Good night. I'd like a qualified opinion on how large SSD drive do you need to house the system partition on Ubuntu.
[23:02] <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.
[23:03] <AR45> but this is from a minimal install
[23:03] <somebody> AR45: This sounds quite minimal. Do you even use a window manager? :p
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <somebody> bonesTdog: Yes, I did and they are very nice, but 14" looks quite expensive for my current budget.
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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.
[23:08] <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.
[23:09] <AR45> bonesTdog, actually it's like legos for computer nerds
[23:10] <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.
[23:11] <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] <kgwgk> only gripe about macbooks is lack of docking station :/
[23:12] <reisio> who needs docks when you're that rich
[23:12] <reisio> just buy new data
[23:12] <kgwgk> and fan control sucks
[23:12] <AR45> reisio, lmao
[23:12] <somebody> reisio: Ha-ha. :)
[23:12] <reisio> kgwgk: oh, they have fanless ultrabooks these days :)
[23:12] <reisio> can't wait till that's affordable
[23:12] <kgwgk> er.. link plox ?
[23:12] <reisio> or till I'm rich, whichever
[23:12] <reisio> plox?
[23:13] <kgwgk> please - > pleez -> plox -> plx
[23:13] <reisio> ah
[23:13] <kgwgk> oops- skipped plz
[23:13] <reisio> yes, plox
[23:13] <AR45> reisio, the actually google chromebook?
[23:13] <reisio> AR45: hrmm?
[23:13] <reisio> it's an acer c720
[23:13] <AR45> reisio, https://www.google.com/chrome/devices/chromebooks.html#pixel
[23:13] <AR45> ohh....
[23:13] <reisio> no not the pixel
[23:13] <AR45> what's the point of the pixel man...
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <reisio> chromebooks are not meant to run local apps
[23:15] <XO-Splicer> installing yes, but expanding things might get hard
[23:15] <reisio> even though obviously they can
[23:15] <reisio> with a sane OS
[23:15] <reisio> hardware isn't the issue
[23:15] <somebody> AR45: Okay, noted.
[23:15] <AR45> reisio, chromeOS will be the next big thing
[23:15] <bonesTdog> My stock Ubuntu 14.04 is 7.3gb without worrying about space. My data is on a separate drive.
[23:15] <reisio> AR45: nah :p
[23:15] <AR45> reisio, androidOS
[23:16] <reisio> it might be the next popular awful OS we have to deal with instead of Windows, though
[23:16] <XO-Splicer> someone: mayby try lubuntu ?
[23:16] <reisio> it's probably great for normos
[23:16] <reisio> no window manager, one app to be used at a time :p
[23:16] <reisio> dumb :)
[23:16] <AR45> reisio, why are you even in here btw you don't use ubuntu
[23:16] <AR45> ;P
[23:16] <somebody> XO-Splicer: I like Unity. I'd rather buy a different laptop, thank you.
[23:16] <reisio> AR45: I use it as a virtual paper weight
[23:16] <Wulf> Hi
[23:16] <XO-Splicer> reisito: is there harddrive space on chromebooks ?
[23:17] <AR45> XO-Splicer, yes
[23:17] <reisio> XO-Splicer: sometimes
[23:17] <reisio> XO-Splicer: you're meant to use web storage or external storage, though
[23:17] <Wulf> how often are the ubuntu ec2 images updated on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ ?
[23:17] <reisio> they have usb ports usually
[23:17] <XO-Splicer> thats not the way i#d like to work ...
[23:17] <AR45> reisio, so you're telling me this thing comes without a HD at that price range?
[23:17] <reisio> XO-Splicer: nor anyone sane
[23:18] <reisio> AR45: what thing?
[23:18] <AR45> It does have storage.
[23:18] <reisio> yeah it has storage
[23:18] <AR45> v
[23:18] <bonesTdog> sombody-I agree with XO that Lubuntu may be a good call. Minimal programs, purge as you can and then install only whats needed.
[23:18] <AR45> One terabyte Google Drive cloud storage for three years.
[23:18] <reisio> but: you're meant to use web storage or external storage, though
[23:18] <reisio> yeah they like to push the web storage
[23:18] <AR45> 32GB solid state drive (64GB on LTE model)
[23:18] <AR45> lol
[23:18] <reisio> the idea is for you to depend on google as much as possible :p
[23:18] <bonesTdog> sombody-with that, 8gb will be fine.
[23:18] <reisio> that's just because <32GB SSD was probably costing more per the GB than 32GB
[23:19] <XO-Splicer> youll be paying your ass off on lte carriers
[23:19] <reisio> the one I've got is 16GB ssd I think, and that's more than enough for an OS and a handful of personal data
[23:19] <AR45> somebody, yeah use the --no-install-recommends flag
[23:19] <modelengine> hey there, i use XChat, and I was curious if there was a setting that I could change to make it remember the #ubuntu channel?
[23:19] <reisio> besides they have >100GB usb sticks at local retailers now if you need slim expansion
[23:19] <somebody> AR45: It might be something, yes.
[23:19] <AR45> modelengine, most likey...
[23:19] <reisio> modelengine: yes, CTRL+s
[23:20] <reisio> modelengine: find freenode, edit, autojoin channels
[23:20] <squinty> modelengine:  right click on channel button and add to favourites
[23:20] <bonesTdog> sombody-Not sure what you have for data, but you can push it out to GDrive and have virtually nothing stored locally
[23:20] <modelengine> cool thx i'll try that
[23:20] <AR45> chromebook is pretty though
[23:21] <somebody> bonesTdog: I am thinking about having a small SSD for system and a large HDD for data.
[23:21] <xon_> nas
[23:21] <XO-Splicer> is there any linux so far out for chromebook ?
[23:21] <modelengine> squinty, it's already in fav's so will it just auto join this channel in the future when i start up XC?
[23:21] <Wulf> XO-Splicer: chromeos?
[23:21] <AR45> XO-Splicer, chromeos lol
[23:21] <bonesTdog> modelengine-you may want to consider Hexchat instead of Xchat. I dont think X is supported any more
[23:21] <XO-Splicer> Wulf: except that one
[23:22] <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] <modelengine> bonesTdog, you wouldn't happen to know the terminal command to get Hexchat would you?
[23:22] <squinty> somebody: fwiw,  this particular install is about 2-3 weeks old now
[23:22] <reisio> XO-Splicer: there are a few, but
[23:22] <bonesTdog> I think it is just hexchat
[23:22] <squinty> somebody: df -h
[23:22] <squinty> Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/sda3        28G  4.5G   22G  18% /
[23:22] <reisio> XO-Splicer: as long as the drivers aren't a secret, and you can configure the boot loader, you can put any OS on there
[23:22] <AR45> modelengine, sudo apt-get install hexchat
[23:22] <somebody> squinty: Interesting.
[23:22] <modelengine> ar45, thank you
[23:22] <bonesTdog> yep
[23:22] <reisio> Chrome OS is already Linux based, you see
[23:23] <reisio> I wouldn't have bought a chromebook if I didn't know ahead of time I could change the OS :)
[23:23] <XO-Splicer> reisio: sounds reasonable
[23:23] <XO-Splicer> reisio: :D
[23:23] <reisio> although if the store return policy is good, you could risk it
[23:23] <AR45> reisio, brand new?
[23:23] <reisio> AR45: hrmm?
[23:23] <AR45> reisio, for $150
[23:23] <reisio> yeah
[23:23] <AR45> reisio, o_o
[23:23] <reisio> I think they're phasing them out, so they reduced them from $200 to $150
[23:24] <reisio> and I needed a new laptop, done
[23:24] <reisio> at walmart
[23:24] <reisio> you can probably get them at any walmart, walmart is reliable like that
[23:24] <AR45> 11 inches?
[23:24] <reisio> if you can't find one, try a walmart not in a college town, there'll be more laptops :p
[23:24] <reisio> 11.6″ I guess yeah
[23:25] <reisio> it's a fairly ultrabooky laptop
[23:25] <AR45> It looks pretty nice.
[23:25] <reisio> a little taller/deeper I guess
[23:25] <somebody> Okay, a bit more requests for advice. What root directories would I need to move to SSD in order to enjoy having "my system" there?
[23:25] <reisio> but it's pretty decent, from a hardware perspective
[23:25] <reisio> for $150
[23:25] <somebody> I want to compare those against my current setup.
[23:25] <AR45> reisio, full hd display?
[23:25] <reisio> I purposefully did not buy it at $200, but $150 it's a decent price
[23:26] <AR45> reisio, or am I just reading the marketing schemes here
[23:26] <XO-Splicer> somebody: good question, but i hav no answer
[23:26] <reisio> it's 1366x768 I think
[23:26] <somebody> XO-Splicer: That's fine.
[23:26] <somebody> Anyone else?
[23:26] <reisio> which covers 720p
[23:26] <bonesTdog> sombody-not sure I completely understand. You should be able to put the entire install on ssd
[23:26] <AR45> reisio, eh good enough, throw gentoo on it and have fun
[23:26] <reisio> AR45: that's the idea
[23:27] <somebody> By the way, is anyone getting the feeling that 1080p screens not yet being industry standard is exceedingly odd?
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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 ^^
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <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] <reisio> which had to be covered in plastic to avoid fingerprints :p
[23:30] <XO-Splicer> somebody: matt screens are even performing better
[23:31] <bonesTdog> In anything other than perfect lighting matt is the way to go
[23:31] <XO-Splicer> bonesTdog: yessss
[23:32] <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] <modelengine> AR45, thanks Hexchat is much easier
[23:32] <AR45> modelengine, yes and it's open source :)
[23:32] <modelengine> AR45, Sweet :)
[23:33] <bonesTdog> how did devan94 get the peace out signout?
[23:34] <AR45> bonesTdog, these are minor things that should not interest you one bit
[23:34] <bonesTdog> That's my problem. Everything interests me!
[23:34] <somebody> reisio: It's an interesting point, the idea that internet bandwidth is being a bottleneck for the screen pixel density development, but I can't fully buy it.
[23:34] <somebody> There's text as well, after all.
[23:36] <mrkirby153> Okay, I'm using exim for my mail server and php's mail() command isn't sending email
[23:38] <nwo> no mail from php here either
[23:39] <modelengine> each and everytime that i open tbird, it says: 'add security exception' and states that my pop mail site is using wrong cert or something liek that
[23:39] <modelengine> but each time, i save the exception, but it still asks me
[23:39] <reisio> somebody: no it really is
[23:40] <reisio> somebody: and most people honestly won't tell the difference between hd and 720p, nevermind 1080
[23:40] <modelengine> anybody?
[23:40] <somebody> modelengine: Sorry, no.
[23:40] <somebody> reisio: Well, I am glad to consider myself "exceptional" on one more account.
[23:40] <squinty> modelengine:  search for that error message on the thunderbird site. they have a faq
[23:40] <reisio> somebody: 5mbps is all you need for 720p from netflix, for example
[23:41] <somebody> It's unfortunately that this has to do with market forces.
[23:41] <reisio> somebody: but you need five times that for 1080p
[23:41] <modelengine> anybody else have a solution for the thunderbird issue?
[23:41] <reisio> somebody: and that's a very large _monthly_ cost difference
[23:41] <_guest_> is it possible to install compiz on xubuntu?
[23:41] <reisio> somebody: and only for your home, not random wifi
[23:41] <reisio> _guest_: yes
[23:41] <Guest83619> also
[23:41] <reisio> sorry, confused 1080p and ultra hd there
[23:42] <reisio> but it's still more than 5mbps :)
[23:42] <modelengine> squinty, thk
[23:42] <_guest_> reisio , does it fully work?
[23:42] <modelengine> s
[23:42] <squinty> modelengine:  there is also  irc.mozilla.org #thunderbird to ask in too  yw
[23:42] <reisio> _guest_: sure, I'm using compiz with Xfce right now
[23:42] <somebody> reisio: I can see your point, thank you. However, I currently have five times *that*, nevermind the cost, but I'm outside of the U.S.
[23:42] <reisio> _guest_: you've just got to run compiz --replace and save your session so Xfce remembers to use compiz
[23:42] <_guest_> reisio , have you tried water effect?
[23:42] <somebody> I hear internet prices are quite a racket in the States.
[23:42] <reisio> somebody: ins outh korea? :)
[23:42] <reisio> somebody: yeah they are, too many monopolies
[23:42] <somebody> reisio: Ukraine, actually.
[23:43] <reisio> _guest_: yes at some point I tried them all
[23:43] <modelengine> squinty, how to open #thunderbird while still in #ubuntu?
[23:43] <reisio> for the lulz
[23:43] <hulio> guys how to burn blueray disc in linux?
[23:43] <reisio> hulio: I wouldn't bother, use a usb stick
[23:43] <reisio> take less time and be more reliable
[23:43] <_guest_> reisio , did windows lost it s border?
[23:43] <hulio> reisio, darm man, i want to know
[23:44] <_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
[23:45] <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?)
[23:46] <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?
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <hulio> reisio, install wine and imgburn
[23:50] <hulio> reisio, LOL
[23:50] <_guest_> does xubuntu use gnome?
[23:51] <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....?
[23:52] <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 :[
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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.
[23:57] <bonesTdog> and great if you need to buy something from amazon :P
[23:57] <AR45> bonesTdog, it's alright
[23:58] <hulio> squinty, i have to use wine and imgburn
[23:58] <hulio> squinty, how badly it is lol
[23:59] <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
