I have had the same thing happen to me several times over the years now when using thunderbird. [00:14] modelengine: suggest if you get stuck though, check in the thunderbird channel... [00:14] modelengine: maybe the file it saves the config to doesn't have the right persmissions? [00:14] Yeah I had that issue with tbird on one of my mail accounts. I switched to mutt and had no issues though [00:14] squinty, just performed clean install, and clean tbird install. enter all pertinent (correctly) info into tbird. but still....

[00:15] he asked [00:16] thats exactly what it is, a mail client [00:16] tremorcontrol, is mutt comparable or better looking ui wise than tbird? [00:16] tremorcontrol: "How do I do X in Y" isn't an appropriate venue for "I use Z to do X!"

[00:24] tremorcontrol: I like the IdeaPad line for my money, but I don't like how they are lacking TrackPoint pips... [00:24] To start, new thinkpads are very expensive, used thinkpads are everywhere because businesses and schools buy tons of them and sell them a couple years after getting them, and are much cheaper and still in great shape [00:25] new post 2012 thinkpad now have the chiclet keyboards which are shit, the old thinkpad keyboards are one of the primary advantages [00:25] is there a way to make it so that if i accident click x it asks b4 closing hexchat? [00:25] overall build quality has declined in recent years [00:26] tremorcontrol: Did it have to do with the Lenovo's acqusition of the ThinkPad line from the IBM? Does your reasoning apply to the IdeaPads as well? [00:26] plus the newer thinkpads are less linux compatible than the older ones [00:27] Lenovo aquired Thinkpads in 2004 and were good initially, but continuously got worse [00:27] up until the last few years where they have completely divebombed into utter garbage [00:27] somebody, tremorcontrol #ubuntu-offtopic please [00:27] the old IBM thinkpads are nice... [00:27] sorry ill stop [00:27] tremorcontrol: Go to my PM if you have something more to say, this is interesting, thank you. [00:28] mesage me if you want to continue this conversation [00:28] squinty, I found that after I unchecked use STARTTLS it didn't ask me anymore. this is probably not a good thing security wise, though is it? === OERIAS is now known as ezgod === ezgod is now known as OERIAS [00:31] anyone know how to get Hex Chat to 'confirm before exiting'?

[00:46] you must have it enabled as an mta [00:47] so i wanted to test if it is in fact capable of booting an operating system [00:47] if you want to use exim as your mta, you need to either use a different port, or disable sendmail [00:47] phunyguy, how do I do that?

However, when I restart the NFS server and once it's rebooted (at login console), if I try issuing a ls or even touch blah.blah on the client NFS mount 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 [01:01] it doesn't seem to "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. [01:04] alturic: that's historically sounded like NFS reacts to loosing connection (NFS is meant to be a constant connection. my clients historically never got the nfs connection back as i recall) [01:04] I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 Series Laptop.

[01:07] zykotick9 - Technically the clients did lose connection when I reboot the nfs server, granted they eventually "reconnect" but it's not like "lose connection. zomg start sending pings/heartbeats to the NFS server".

It's irssi for noobs, except its just as good as irssi [01:28] weird [01:28] zykotick9, i got it figured with the tab thing, but thx [01:28] modelengine because here you can find more people :P [01:29] modelengine: because its mozilla [01:29] Query: What NICs support VirtIO for KVM when using bridge-utils? [01:29] modelengine: you will get that here on occasion too. and for that matter a great lot of other support channels. please remember that participants are volunteers... if you want immediate results, then it's time to dig out your wallet. :P [01:29] Besides the obvious "Intel" [01:29] tremorcontrol, eh.. I don't see the big fuss over irc clients.. I have bigger things to worry about [01:30] thoonai both solutions? Strange [01:30] AR45: Smuxi! [01:31] AR45, i realize that everyone's help is a gift freely given, all i am saying is that the ppl on mozilla irc dont seem too excited to help. look someone else wants help and all they do is sit there. if i were one of the 300 users on there, i would help ppl. http://imgur.com/Cez3GK3 [01:31] modelengine: I heard very good things about commercial Ubuntu support, and they charge something like $100 annually. [01:31] Sachiru: check out #kvm [01:32] modelengine: wow [01:32] modelengine if I read well setting a different theme may help you [01:32] Zangune: thanks, Ill give up and retry tomorrow, thank you [01:32] thoonai you are welcome :) [01:32] kgwgk, I only read this because it has GNOME notification integration lol [01:32] modelengine: are you running inside a VM ? [01:33] kgwgk, it runs in the terminal as well cool [01:33] yes yes yes, i know i know, where else can i get free tech support from all the experts. I agree, you guys do it all for nothing and yet here i am complaining complaining. i'm just sayin that there are a lot of users on the right hand column in the mozilla channel and not one of them have lifted a finger. if i had the knowledge that you guys have, i would do just what you guys do, help people! it's just diff coming from here and [01:33] going to mozilla irc where they are not interested in support. [01:34] AR45: yeep [01:34] what is the point of mozilla irc #thunderbird support if they don't support? just curious? [01:34] sorry, not trying to sound ungrateful. am very greatful for all the help received today, and if it weren't for you guys here at #ubuntu, i would still be fumbling around. [01:34] modelengine: you need to take the mozilla thunderbird chat to another channel [01:36] squinty, ok. i'm done with the rant. sorry [01:36] modelengine: welcome to open source support [01:36] modelengine: are you running native or VM? i had a problem on my macbook if i enabled retina 1:1 resolution in vmware workstation [01:37] modelengine: you also might want to notice that there are over 1600 participants logged onto this channel but probably only 20 or so are answering questions. :) Anyway my turkey dinner is ready so I am off for now. :) [01:37] nothing would scale well [01:37] squinty, oh. didn't know that ....oops [01:37] n [01:37] squinty, happy thanksgiving! === kernel is now known as Bayangan [01:37] kgwgk, native [01:39] modelengine: have you tried noodling around with gnome-tweak-tool ?

I tried lots of things and ended up installing xubuntu 14.04 on another partition. It works until I install the nvidia drivers after this x wont start. [02:43] Can this mean my graphics card is dying or it is just a driver problem? [02:47] excalibas: you installed new driver and it won't start... -> likely a driver problem [02:48] excalibas: How did you install the driver ? What card ? How old is the card ? Does Nvidia still support the card ? So yeah. likely a driver issue. [02:49] I installed via settings/additional drivers. The card is old 8600. I think it is still suported [02:50] I thought it was just the driver but when I made a clean install ox xubuntu 14.04 and it doesn't start x I start worrying [02:51] I was using with xubuntu 12.04 since 2012 and never had problems before [02:51] until it crashed (with lots of video glitches) [02:52] !nomodeset | excalibas Try this, and we then see about drivers: [02:52] excalibas Try this, and we then see about drivers:: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:52] yo, I just added my fingerprints for login. Everything went fine. and at lightdm stage they were recognized and I had "log in" button. However the screen goes black with a message(I can't read because it's too fast) and then lightdm comes again [02:52] only typed password works [02:58] Hello. I am using lubuntu. I just installed nvidia-current for an older mobile nvidia gpu. AFter doing this, I have a really strange issue where google chrome follows me when I try to switch desktops in Lubuntu. Just the pixels come over to the other desktop pane and not the functionality. Somtimes it covers up the windows on the the other desktop panes until i minimize and open the window again. This problem doesn't occur with firefox or an [02:58] y other programs... any idea what might be causing this issue and how I can trouble shoot it? [03:00] Bashing-om, nomodeset doesnt work [03:03] Bashing-om, GeForce 8600M GS [03:04] say i already have an existing installation of Ubuntu, but i want to reinstall it. I also have Windows 8 on the system. However, the installer fails to recognize the windows insallation and only gives options for installing alongside ubuntu and just overwriting the entire drive. What should i do so i don't lose my windows install? [03:06] gnome-of-lawn, There should be an option (the last one I think) where you can chose where to install [03:06] excalibas: ", nomodeset doesnt work " does not tell us anything. What is the actual result ? can you get a GUI (degraded graphics is OK at this point !) . [03:07] Bashing-om, sorry. it is the same result. a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left [03:07] Bashing-om, The same as without the nomodest [03:08] Yes, but it is difficult to differentiate between Ubuntu and Windows partitions. I don't want to destroy everything. [03:10] excalibas: Unexpected result, to say the least. OK one other "test"; replace "quiet splash" in the boot parameter line rather than adding "nomoeset", key combo ctl+x to boot to terminal (TTY1) . yes ? [03:10] gnome-of-lawn: "sudo fdisk -l" will give you info on what is on what partition [03:11] Bashing-om, replace "quiet splash" with nomodeset? [03:12] excalibas: Sorry .. replace "quiet splash" with the term "text" .. :) [03:14] Ok, so i have a fresh install of lubuntu. Well,when my monitor is told to shut off, my computer locks the screen,and only blanks the monitor. What am i doing wrong? [03:17] Bashing-om, replacing "quiet splash" with "text" It starts [03:17] Bashing-om, in text mode [03:20] excalibas: Good ! a Conflict of drivers OR no driver loaded ? -> sudo apt-get install pastebinit , sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit <- and pass the resulting URL back to us inchannel.

Is there a solution? === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold [03:35] Bashing-om, It is strange because it was working fine with 12.04 until yesterday [03:37] excalibas: A bug .. Yes, no, maybe a solution, A quick look reveals that some had good results by upgrading bios . [03:37] Bashing-om, I read this but is it the card bios? [03:38] excalibas: I did not read thouroughly , maybe it is kust the kernels in trusty ? What kernel are you running ? maybe the new -37 kernel will run ? [03:39] hi everyone, does anyone know if fake-raid is supported in Ubuntu 14.04.1? Meaning, if i setup a Raid 1 on my motherboard bios will Ubuntu see it as 1 disk? [03:39] Bashing-om, I have 3.13.0-37-generic [03:40] Bashing-om, on the but report, #16 says it loads ok with 3.16 kernel? [03:41] excalibas: bios is what starts the boot process - Basic Inpur Output system .. is the CMOS on the mother board. [03:43] Bashing-om, So I should try to update the bios? [03:43] excalibas: some were able .. try it and see what your results are // from the grub boot menu, choose the older kernel to boot . [03:44] Bashing-om, But 3.16 is more recent than 3.13 right? [03:44] excalibas: -16 lernel is real old .. net it is not on yoir system .. I would have to look around to confirm it is available. [03:47] excalibas: IF it is 3.16 series then yes it is the more recent -- maybe; http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ . [03:49] Bashing-om, I have a windos partition, I will try to update the bios, there is a link with some files on the bug report page I hope it doesnt kill the computer ;) [03:50] hi everyone, does anyone know if fake-raid is supported in Ubuntu 14.04.1? Meaning, if i setup a Raid 1 on my motherboard bios will Ubuntu see it as 1 disk? [03:52] excalibas: Messing about with bios does entail a risk - if things do not go well .. BUT I know of nothing better to do . IF your bios is on a chip, and you are not in a hurry one can order a new bios chip and replace it !

I will test [04:04] Bashing-om, f***. stupid windows didnt start, I just started the recovery partition and I get a big screen saying ERROR. I restart and I get a grub error... [04:05] Bashing-om, It is too much for me today. It is 5 am here and I need to sleep. tomorow will try to fix this. Thanks for helping anyway. At least now I have hopes it is not the card [04:06] Neldogz yeah not sure on 14.04 specific, just general experience with posix [04:06] Good night all! [04:06] interesting to know RH/fedora supports some [04:07] excalibas: When it rains it pours // is Windows installed on the same hard drive as ubuntu ? [04:07] Bashing-om, Yes, same hard drive :( [04:07] Bashing-om, It probably erased the grub partition right? [04:08] excalibas: Get some rest .. may take some time to fight this out. [04:08] Bashing-om, I hope it is just that, will see tomorow.

[06:18] using git bash in windows env [06:18] i added bash script to crontab. it does not execute it. bash script works. the bash scripts writes dns entry to /etc/resolv.conf i added /bin/bash script and still it do not work. i am using @reboot. help [06:19] sounds like you should ask your actual question that's causing you to write a script to modify /etc/resolv.conf and put it in cron [06:19] can any one tell me [06:20] argha: this is not the channel to ask it [06:20] rww, facebook, youtube do not load completely. they load like its 1995. they load completely only with google dns. [06:20] then give me a link [06:20] rww, its just plain html. one line below other. all links only blue. only text. nothing else. [06:20] argha: try ##windows or http://help.github.com/ , I guess [06:21] Abhijit: okays. what are you using for network management? have you added Google DNS to there? [06:21] NetworkManager, /etc/network/interfaces, wicd, etc. [06:21] rww, its pppoe. i am using standard NetworkManager for this. it only ask for my isp username and password. my isp do not need anything else. cant add dns there. [06:22] rwp, wait. i think i can add dns in NetworkManager. wwill try that. [06:23] rww, ^ [06:23] * rww nods [06:23] Hello friends. [06:24] How do you hide the clock? [06:24] We don't want to see what time it is! [06:24] Blaster, Remove panel? [06:25] Abhijit: We only want to hide the time part. [06:25] Not the entire top panel. [06:25] Unity BTW. [06:26] Abhijit: We found a way. [06:26] right click on clock > [06:27] You just uncheck, “Show a clock in the menu bar”, in the clock settings. [06:35] q [06:35] quit [06:40] Ubuntu (desktop/unity?) freezes now and then without any (for me) resonable pattern. It's only at a logged in stage (never at boot/logon). I can always solve it by doing CTRL-ALT-F2 and then go back with CTRL-ALT-F7 and then I'm back - so it's a solvable freeze but very annoying. As soon as I switch F2/F7 the freeze goes away. I [06:41] I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 using Nvidia 331.38 - what to do? [06:49] join #haskell [06:49] sorry forgot to add a command / [06:49] :) [06:51] I have a dual video screen system but sometimes would like some apps to start on the first screen, is there added command line that makes this posible? [06:54] I have now learned from trial and error that if I open a terminal first it always opens in screen 1 and seems firefox starts in the screen that the terminal is running in === Sachiru is now known as Guest68868 === Sachiru_ is now known as Sachiru [07:20] I guess what I'm looking for is the way to change the default geometry of firefox like I can do in gnome-terminal --geometry 80x24+1600+200 opens it on my right screen where I want it [07:22] ok so, I've tried to install ubuntu twice now on this macbook, every time I end up seeing strange rendering issues, mostly characters being all messed up. Is this a driver issue or perhaps a hardware issue? I've run a disk check multiple times with no errors found. [07:22] tterrag, I'd guess a mac specific issue ... [07:22] mhm [07:23] I'm on a 2011(?) nvidia mac [07:23] tterrag: I would render to say it's probly the video driver, maybe there is a propraitary one available? [07:23] macbook pro [07:23] tterrag, apple really does make it difficult to do things with their hardware ...

[07:33] Thank you cfhowlett [07:33] gelos, happy2help [07:33] Blackweb, ext4 is the default - and better than ext3 [07:34] I updated the system and have 3 Data Drives that were ext3 - [07:35] why not ext4? [07:35] so left the data drives the same and just installed new system on system drive\ [07:35] heres example from my fstab [07:35] UUID=9a969600-d76b-4437-ab88-1e703cc929c3 /media/DataBase ext3 rw,auto,user,exec,async 0 0 [07:36] Would any of those options be slowing it down?? [07:36] Right now then I'm trying to transfer something with filezilla & if I send it to any drive mounted in /media then top speed is 500kbps [07:36] what type of externel hard drive are they? [07:36] Their internal drives [07:37] but If I tell filezilla to download to the actual system drive its over 2mbps [07:38] Would any of these options be effecting it (UUID=9a969600-d76b-4437-ab88-1e703cc929c3 /media/DataBase ext3 rw,auto,user,exec,async 0 0) [07:38] That entry is in /etc/fstab [07:40] cfhowlett: http://imgur.com/sNmwsNi.png any idea what's up?

[07:43] tell you in a sec, pretty sure it was just 14.04 [07:43] still unpacking updates... [07:46] cfhowlett: even after all that, still broken packages [07:46] maybe I'll skip this step :P [07:51] aha, after installing macfanctl it really reved up [07:51] think it might have been a tad overheated === wolf is now known as Guest47735 === petar is now known as Guest79877 [08:09] top vs htop [08:11] so I tried enabling the nvidia proprietary drivers, using legacy this time, black screen (as expected).

I am running 14.04 on my desktop. Today I agreed to install some update, and now I don't have a login screen anymore (the graphical UI that appears after boot is complete asking for my user and password). Any hint ? [08:34] Whir: what sort of performance issues? [08:35] How can I swap out the maintained OpenSSL package for something that's actually up to date without wrecking everything? [08:35] Yrie: lags in everything, from chaning browser tabs to opening terminals [08:35] *changing [08:35] I need the latest version of OpenSSL, but I need everything else that's relying on the packaged version to work with the latest. [08:36] Yrie: /home is via a NFS share, but internet connection is fine and the rest of the workgroup does not report any misbehavior [08:37] Yrie: I see this things in dmesg quite abundantly: "Mon Oct 13 10:34:22 2014] type=1701 audit(1413189263.657:801): auid=4294967295 uid=1001 gid=1001 ses=4294967295 pid=15606 comm="chromium-browse" reason="seccomp" sig=0 syscall=195 ip=0x3cd416 code=0x50001" [08:37] could that be sth ? [08:39] Whir: I don't see why that would cause performance issues [08:40] Hi [08:40] Yrie: Ok, I am out of ideas basically :/ [08:40] Whir: what's the GPU load? [08:42] how to set my password in channel on irssi? [08:42] Yrie: I check it..but I doubt it is the reason, even chaning directories in the terminal takes ages some time [08:43] Whir: have you tried booting it up just from shell and test it? [08:44] Yrie: ok it is generally at 0% and when I change desktop it raises to sth like 7% [08:44] that's an insignificant amount [08:44] Yrie: So I should boot in recovery root shell mode you mean ? [08:44] Whir: ya, and see if normal operation still take ages [08:45] Whir: if it does, then it's not a GUI-related problem, if it doesn't, we can probably say it's something else [08:45] Yrie: sorry, firefox just crashed [08:48] can someone pls kick the ghost Whir ? [08:48] my browser crashed.. === Whir_ is now known as Whir [08:49] Whir: no problem [08:49] anyone knows why my pc does not boot the ubuntu cd? its set on boot on cd [08:49] have you ever seen this problem before [08:50] win7 and i try to install a ubuntu 14.04 [08:50] Yrie: ok, so I boot into root shell recovery mode and look if it also lags ? [08:51] Whir: yup, because you have a really really strange problem on your hand that I highly suspect is due to graphical problems [08:52] Yrie: Ok I'll do it, and report back in like 5min [08:53] brb [08:53] Giwrgaras: try again? double check in BIOS that it is set to boot to cd? [08:53] Whir: okay [08:53] done that [08:53] have you ever seen such an issue before? or maybe the cd wasnt burnt right [08:54] Giwrgaras: that would've been my next guess [08:54] if thats not the case what else could it be? [08:54] Giwrgaras: can your computer read it on win 7? [08:54] yes [08:54] and it restarts in order to install it [08:54] its the official release from the ubuntu page [08:55] send me the link?

I don't know how, but I ended up with a partition called "overflow", mounted on "/tmp", of 1M. Which is: I cannot put more than 1M of data into my /tmp folder. How is that ? I'd swear ubuntu did it all on his own [09:40] ggherdov: it did not do it on it's own [09:40] ggherdov: the best option is to boot from a live media cd such as the gparted CD - remove this partition (delete it) [09:41] ikonia: ok [09:41] ggherdov: then boot into ubuntu and configure /tmp as you see fit [09:41] Yrie, I have 2 VPS servers and I want to move 1 to the other because it took me 3 days to update it to 14.10 [09:41] no sorry, 14.04.1 [09:41] evil_dan2wik: talk to your VPS provider about cloning [09:41] ikonia, ggherdov: google says it happens when you fill up the root partition [09:42] Ben64: ubuntu will create a partition and mount it on /tmp if you fill up / ? [09:42] apparently [09:42] ikonia, they will do it for $10 [09:42] evil_dan2wik: there you go then, pay the %10 [09:42] I don't want to spend $10 on it if I can do it myself. [09:42] $10 [09:42] evil_dan2wik: you can't [09:42] Ben64: thanks, will check [09:42] I can do it. [09:42] Just watch me. [09:42] i've never experienced it, and never heard of it, but supposedly you can unmount it and everything will fix itself [09:42] evil_dan2wik: ok, get on with it then [09:42] now, tell me how to do it please.

[12:46] scale factor doesnt change mouse size [12:46] k1l : moment [12:47] k1l, cfhowlett well this might be related to some radeon cards that are under the given circumstances. In my example, I manage to run only one combination of Ubuntu with radeon driver to have a fully supported graphical card. On the other hand the driver has its glitches within some gtk applications. Thus finding a compatible ubuntu and radeon driver couple is rather difficult [12:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8552309/ [12:48] k1l [12:48] combinatorically, there might be an individual which managed to get a newer versions with a couple [12:48] thus I'm trying to find such through communities [12:49] shookees, radeon is not well supported and is unlikely to become so. AMD is FINALLY getting on the linux support wagon with their future releases. Given a choice: nvidia is the safer option. [12:49] muculus_: ok and now please a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" === ubuntu is now known as Guest22172 [12:50] switching to nvidia with a laptop that is with amdish graphics card might be a big investment [12:50] muculus_: is there a reason you got a saucy repo in your sources.list? the last line? [12:51] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8552318/ [12:51] k1l: because my grub has problem, then I isntall bppt-repaire, I think it added saucy in source.list [12:52] muculus_: remove that last line in there. [12:53] k1l: just a moment [12:54] i've accidentally activated a UI mode i don't understand. the app i was in (thunderbird) went fullscreen, and alt-tab stopped working. when i quit (via its little menu icon in the upper right) my next app came up... but same thing. i can't even see how to log out. what might i have done? 14.04 FWIW. [12:54] i am trapped in xchat until i figure this out or force powerdown :) [12:55] k1l: I remove it, then I execute "apt-get update" ,but when I execute "apt-get upgrade" error occurred again. :( [12:55] pbx: by force powerdown you mean alt+clt+f1 & sudo reboot right? [12:55] muculus_: try a "sudo apt-get -f install" [12:57] seriously why is this crap not booting?!

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 [15:04] hello, i tried to install cedega but it removed everything except the most basic ubuntu packages. even after i reinstalled everything nothing seems to function properly and something is altering my typing at times. anyone have an idea as to how to fix this? [15:05] or rather missing drivers [15:05] um [15:06] you might have to find the right ones. Google with details of the specs, particularly touchpad [15:08] B0bsF1sh: switch to tty1 with alt ctrl 1 [15:08] Finetundra, it removed your ubuntu? and you authorized that? Here's the fix: purge cedega. then sudo apt-apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:08] if your [15:08] you're lucky [15:09] jnxd1: I try that, but nothing happens with any of the virtual terminals [15:09] so you are able to switch? how do you know you're able to? [15:10] cfhowlett, it seems to have removed itself is the issue yet i still am having problems [15:10] Finetundra, "seems to" ... [15:10] Finetundra, too much guess work. reinstall ubuntu-desktop [15:10] B0bsF1sh, you mean sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop am i RIGHT ? [15:10] Sorry for the caps [15:11] cedega is down for years now [15:11] cfhowlett, i have reinstalled a desktop gui, but as i said there seems to be something. and i said nothing about removing Anything [15:11] sorry, it [15:12] Finetundra, "hello, i tried to install cedega but it removed everything except the most basic ubuntu packages" [15:13] cfhowlett, when i went to install it there was nothing stating that it'd be deleting things [15:13] Shangri-l: What do you mean? I installed desktop, but now that I've got it configured mainly as a server, I set it to boot only to a text console (In /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" and GRUB_TERMINAL=console. In /etc/X11/default-display-manager : /bin/true and #/usr/sbin/lightdm. sudo update-grub.). Now occasionally when I want to get into the GUI, I sudo service lightdm start. I just want to get BACK to the terminal when [15:13] Finetundra, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop doesnt' install the gui. it installs the default ubuntu OS metapackages [15:13] I am trying to install biolinux which is based on ubuntu on a dell poweredge server with usb bootable key. The dell doesn't want to boot from it. [15:13] Finetundra, can't help you with that ... Cedega should have warned you you. [15:13] cryptic0, sorry, biolinux is not an ubuntu distro so not supported here.

[15:45] Its the same thing ;) [15:45] Mountain_R, same same just a different look and feel. why would the gui make a safety difference? use what works for you. [15:45] Mountain_R: kubuntu got a different set of standard programs in comparison to a plain kde install onto a ubuntu. but its all the same securitywise [15:46] thanks guys, ubuntu team said that they will not support derivates anymore? is that true? [15:46] if you install KDE, it wont have all the default programs,but if you install Kubuntu-desktop it will install all the Ubuntu default Kubuntu programs... [15:46] Mountain_R: can you rephrase?

Ubuntu support said didn't know what really it was so I was forced to ask to Xubuntu support channel.... but there were not good support [15:53] Mountain_R: uh, a few things. 1) What is this "Ubuntu support" that you are talking about, 2) why would they refer you to the xubuntu channel if you are using kubuntu?

[17:08] i made a mistake on editing vi /etc/sudoers files [17:08] OpenFerret: sorry, can't answer your question. I fail to see any benefit of this `tpm' so I don't know how to use it either. [17:08] on a pc === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [17:08] so i can't switch to root [17:08] Guest83920, sounds like a smb.conf problem, or a permissions problem on the directory [17:08] Wulf: No worries, I will take my search else where. Have a great day bud! [17:09] ok, how do I conf samba? [17:09] is there a conf file? [17:09] and my question is it possible to do something like vi pc2:/etc/sudoers from pc1 ? [17:09] ertyui: no. [17:09] Guest83920, in /etc/samba [17:09] to modify the sudoers file from an other pc ? [17:09] so what i can do ? [17:09] !recovery [17:09] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [17:10] ertyui: ^ [17:10] there is no quesiton to reboot the pc [17:10] i would like to do it without rebootng [17:10] ertyui: you cant [17:10] Guest83920: sudo apt-get install system-config-samba [17:10] compdoc, I was missing a quote after the hwaddress, I think this resolved the issue...Now to figure out why the 70-persistent-net.rules file isn't being generated on reboot [17:11] I have samba installed, squinty [17:11] why i can't ? [17:11] there are all on a same LAN [17:11] I just cant log from a pc with a user that isnt root [17:11] koibedand, cool [17:11] why i can't mount the pc2 /etc on pc1 to edit the sudoers file ? [17:11] ertyui: root doesn't have a password, so you cannot just su to root. Since you blew up sudoers, that means that any user that would be able to sudo won't work. [17:12] ertyui: and how do you propose to mount /etc with write permissions on another PC? [17:12] Guest83920: afaik system-config-samba is not part of the default samba install... need to install after. anyways good luck :) === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [17:13] thanks, squinty [17:13] i tried this one : mount pc2:/etc /mnt/pc2file/ [17:13] but i got this error : [tcp] pc2:/etc: Permission denied [17:13] ertyui: exactly :) [17:13] i have some issues with my sound card external [17:13] why ? [17:14] ertyui: seriously? [17:14] yes seriously i got that error : [17:14] ertyui: because it would be a huge security hole if you could just mount the root partition as RW over the network for anyone to edit [17:15] why i got this error : Permission denied [17:15] insstead of operation wrong ? [17:15] ertyui: because you don't have permission to mount it? [17:15] so it could be possible ? [17:16] ertyui: because it's not shared out over the network [17:16] so what is the solution to troubleshoot it ? [17:16] koibedand, these commands might help: http://pastebin.com/LejdhjwC [17:16] ertyui: if you are asking if it's technically possible to do what you are asking, then yes it is. If you are asking if it's technically possible for you to do what you are asking in the current state of that system, then no it is not [17:17] compdoc, yeah i'm aware, i was just hoping i could get the rules file generated upon reboot automatically as rhel/sles does [17:17] ertyui: you won't be able to edit that over the network unless you already have root access on the machine, simply because currently you don't have rigths to edit the files you need to share that directory [17:17] normally, it does [17:18] ok good but i removed all root priviliges on pc2 [17:18] yeah it is possible the image I am using disabled it somehow...trying to figure out what the image creator did :) [17:19] ertyui: I know, which is why you have to fix it in recovery mode [17:19] koibedand, I install Ubutnu Server, and then a minimal desktop (usually Mate). Maybe thats why mine populates 70-persistent-net.rules [17:19] well then how it works on recovery mode ? === tlindenmann is now known as NC_Hydra [17:20] compdoc, mind pastebinning the contents of /lib/udev/rules.d/75-net-persistence.rules for me?

[18:14] indian: I think it defaults to the highest quality available, but you can read its --help output to specify max quality explicitly [18:15] okies, sjm...its time for me to quit [18:15] sjm, thanks for the tip [18:16] reisio, theres an option for audio quality and video format and nothing for video quality? [18:17] indian: just as it says in the man page...: -f bestvideo [18:17] but also as it says, and as I already said [18:17] it defaults to best [18:17] reisio,yes there is,.....thanks [18:18] ubuntu has problems installing on ssd drives? [18:19] giwrgos, no, why? [18:19] giwrgos, not to my knowledge [18:19] hello i want ask something if i have python2 how i can change this for python3? [18:19] i try to install it and it fails to see the dvd [18:20] giwrgos, DVD? what fails? [18:20] it doesnt boot from the dvd in order to install it [18:20] i have cd as a boot priority [18:20] asher1, open terminal: python3 --version [18:20] asher1, sudo apt-get install python3 [18:21] you should have P3 already === zz_climbup is now known as climbup [18:21] giwrgos, How did you burn it to the dvd? [18:21] giwrgos, is your BIOS set to bood DVD first? [18:21] *boot [18:21] windows image burn [18:21] yes [18:21] can ssh-copy-id copy private keys????? [18:21] its burned as an image not an iso [18:21] giwrgos, sounds like a bat bvurn or bad ISO d/l [18:21] , yes i did that "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" already and updated and did the dist upgrade command ... still no use [18:21] giwrgos: Not sure why you think that because it won't boot to a DVD that it can't install on an SSD [18:22] giwrgos, There is a per-session boot with a key or key prompts at boot mine is f12, see if you can find your. [18:22] yes ive found that [18:22] it still fails to load [18:22] giwrgos, sounds like a bad burn or bad ISO d/l [18:22] i have burned 3 different dvd's [18:22] giwrgos, Not boot but powering on, sorry, could be a bad burn or download as suggested. [18:23] luist: it doesn't look like it, public keys only [18:23] luist: there shouldn't be a reason to copy the private keys over though === arash is now known as |PiP|` [18:23] giwrgos, did you check the MD5SUM of the ISO? [18:24] tgm4883: why not.. i want to sign gpg repositories with another user actually [18:24] from the same iso i loaded the os in my virtual box first === tcpman is now known as Guest94066 [18:25] luist: because the private key is something that is generally per user/per machine? Why not just make a new key pair for the other user? [18:25] and i have it perfectly functional in my virtual box [18:25] cheebu, sorry, i'm out of ideas [18:25] giwrgos, The bios boot is funky, I always use the per session personally. [18:26] giwrgos: Have you verified the md5sum of the iso image and verified the disk after burning? [18:27] giwrgos: What did you use to burn it? [18:27] tgm4883: theres a single pair to register the company repository… i dont get why i should make more than 1 [18:27] windows image burn, daemon tools, and i draged and drop the files to the dvds [18:28] ObrienDave, i installed some apps by "force version" certain packages from precise to trusty ... is there a way to make all switch to trusty? [18:28] also i repeat its functional cause from the same dvd i run ubuntu now on my virtual box [18:28] giwrgos: That will not produce a bootable image - it will produce a cd/dvd containing one file, your iso file. [18:29] luist: ok, well you asked about ssh-copy-id which indicated you wanted to use it for logging into remote machines [18:29] Hi [18:29] tgm4883: no.. i want to sign repositories [18:29] regarding this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Securing_Apache [18:29] 'Change ports.conf so that it contains: ' [18:29] luist: yes I know that now. You still can't use ssh-copy-id to move the private key [18:29] exactly, what does it mean? [18:30] Any ideas? [18:31] tgm4883: really? i dont see about this anywhere… how can i do it [18:31] luist: you would have to manually copy over they keys. from man ssh-copy-id — use locally available keys to authorise logins on a remote machine [18:31] oh okay [18:31] thanks [18:33] Hi Guys, is the process crypto normal on Ubuntu? [18:35] reisio, i get an error everytime when i switch on 'System error detected' how do i resolve it? [18:37] is there a difference in terminal between unity and gnome ? if yes which one is better ? [18:38] milad1512: unity is lame :P [18:38] Just wondering does Crypto have a manual page? [18:38] zackify: why ? [18:38] milad1512, terminal is terminal. no difference [18:38] zackify: that would be an opinion [18:38] tgm4883: yes, sorry, there's not a difference just an opinion [18:39] i get an error everytime when i switch on 'System error detected' how do i resolve it?

I'm not able to install it. [19:00] another question: [19:00] . [19:02] question: I've got a lenovo carbon x1 (2013 model) running 14.04; it has one displayport out and supports displaylink (but only in windows). I would love to use two monitors (not including the screen). Any way to do this through displayport? Thanks! [19:02] cristian_c, did you get an answer to your other question?

I have succeeded in establishing connection from VM to host (NAT) as well as I was able to establish connection from host to VM (Host-only adapter vboxnet 0). Now can you tell me if it is possible to combine both? [19:16] cristian_c, if you are going to use SSL, then change that too. [19:16] sjm, same for gnutls.c [19:16] Err, anyone know matthewpaulthomas' (Reddit r/Ubuntu) nick (assuming his IRC handle isn't the same as his reddit one). Taking a survey when you just woke up, from your mobile device, probably isn't a good idea. I accidentally used the wrong email address (one that'll end up being invalid). Reference: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/2j4gs7/canonical_survey_what_do_you_think_of_your/ [19:16] sjm, I don't think to use ssl [19:16] then don't worry about the 443 ports [19:16] so, I change only Listen 80 [19:17] sjm, thanks === Xeno_ is now known as LooseChange [19:17] I installed official nvidia drivers, and now chromium won't render [19:17] any idea?

After googling it seems Nvidia card problem is anybody know any solution??? Plz [19:42] Giwrgaras: Rhythmbox does that, though it comes preinstalled. [19:44] guys is it a good idea to replace my win7 with lubuntu, im all about speed and performance, dont care about aesthetics [19:45] ForTheWin: thats the question for yourself. [19:45] ForTheWin, what kind of speed and performance are you after? desktop or gaming? [19:45] ForTheWin, I'd dual boot, so you'd have both OSes. [19:45] kostkon: desktop. this pc is hopeless for gaming [19:46] camtron: ok so dualboot win7 for emergencies but mainly use lubuntu, good plan? [19:46] sounds good [19:47] heh, win7 for emergencies, thats rich [19:47] i was just thinking the same :) [19:48] it's good for making live usbs [19:48] what kind of emergency would trigger a w7 boot? [19:48] Any PC is good for retro gaming, though. [19:48] :D [19:49] UTF: I suppose if you wanted to verify that your pentesting laptop was working properly you might want to boot your desktop into windows [19:50] hahaha, ok youre right, i meant for those pesky ms office files that wont convert perfectly or maybe some progs that wont run on wine/playonlinux? [19:50] hello, am looking for a way i can record a screencast from the terminal, this is ubuntu 14.04 32bits, i want only screen (no sound or webcam) into my screencast.mp4(avi,or etc) file, no from a graphical app but from terminal, am trying to figure out avconv, since ffmpeg is not longer in use by 14.04, thanks. [19:50] haha tgm4883 :) [19:51] ForTheWin: I'm not in the finance world, so google apps converts all the office files just fine. As for programs that won't run in wine, find an alternative [19:52] deb: well, avconv is just stupid libav's stupid rename :p [19:52] ForTheWin: i would also consider just installing one OS. Most ms office conversions works okay. i had just little trouble with ppt files but other than that it seems to be ok === AlphaBeta is now known as PsiOmega [19:53] deb: -x11grab -s FOOxBAR -r 30 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast -threads 2 -an baz.mp4 [19:53] reisio, fine, how you do your screencast with out mic or webcam, only video, using the terminal under MATE? [19:53] ForTheWin: also most windows programs works in wine/playonlinux. I had trouble with a few games but since it is not a gamer computer i think you will be ok [19:54] most windows programs do not work [19:54] it is a case by case situation and depends on a lot of things [19:54] deb: just said [19:54] Lots of D3D games run significantly slower in Wine. [19:54] lots run significantly slower on Windows, too [19:55] buy more linux games :) [19:56] most common programs should run fine in wine then [19:56] no they do not [19:56] There are windows only games on a 3d engine that will run on linux, but apparently they do not release it to linux. [19:56] reisio, http://sprunge.us/GhYO [19:56] lol [19:56] again it depends on many things [19:56] wine should not be considered a solution you depend on - more a temporary work around that may/may not work at that point in time [19:56] mostly how poorly authored the program is :) [19:56] ok then all the programs i have used on windows works fine in wine [19:57] my nvidia legacy binary driver version 304 has been applying changes for half an hour now and the progress bar hasnt budged a millimeter, help please? [19:57] camtron: I see no fault with your sources.list file, Are you at work and behind a 'proxy' ? [19:57] deb: sorry, it's -f x11grab [19:57] i run photoshop and a few games [19:57] runs perfectly in wine [19:57] everything i need [19:57] :) [19:57] No. I'm at home. Could it be a mirror problem? [19:57] utf: thank you [19:57] photoshop is a great exampe of a hit and miss application [19:58] UTF: what version of photoshop? [19:58] is gimp just as good? [19:58] gimp is excellent [19:58] brontosaurusrex: i'm running CS6 at the moment [19:58] but can't deal with the propitary adobe formats [19:58] UTF: nice [19:59] Gimp can do pretty much anything Photoshop can do, and it's faster. But it's GUI isn't as good. [19:59] bottom line, you want the program to work, use the OS the program was designed to be used on [19:59] camtron: As that is the "main" mirror, and others say they have no problem with it, I would not think it likely the mirrpor is at fault - in this case. [19:59] not really, photoshop is way faster/better/more features [19:59] camtron: gimp is awesome, but when you are used to photoshop it can be a pain getting used to the UI [19:59] * reisio rolls eyes [19:59] my nvidia legacy binary driver version 304 has been applying changes for half an hour now and the progress bar hasnt budged a millimeter, help please? [20:00] brontosaurusrex: yes, but most of those features people do not need. and I would disagree that photoshop is faster [20:00] gimp is faster in my experience.... [20:00] it takes a bit more horse power to run win7 + adobe photoshop than ubuntu + gimp [20:00] I find GIMP to be faster, too. [20:00] KavanS: but photoshops content aware fill really rocks [20:00] true... [20:00] just most people aren't using elite features [20:01] gimp/photoshop is usually a matter of familiarity/preference. Similar to Unity/KDE [20:01] your standard person at home gimp is a great solution [20:01] yep agreed [20:01] just saying that the feature difference, is negligible when you bring in the real world users [20:01] I've never found any Adobe product to be fast. [20:01] tgm4883: i agree [20:01] no sound in 14.04? what do i do? [20:02] no sorry i found it [20:02] :) [20:02] Giwrgaras, say more. what hardware? did it work before? if yes, what have you changed? [20:02] how do I find how to map a network name to an mac address? [20:02] i had to change the output [20:03] clementine btw is an awesome player [20:03] leitao: what do you mean? [20:03] reisio, ok cool, looks like is working but when i play my file said "fine have no data", how you quit with saving from that command, so i can see my .flv? [20:03] Digipeng, I want that my NIC (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) be ethx instead of eth0 [20:03] for example [20:04] Is there an irc channel to talk about Terminator?

I belive that would just be editing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [20:05] tgm4883, it is the old style [20:05] thanks.. ill take a look [20:05] tgm4883, on 1404 or newer, it changed to something else. [20:05] not sure if this is /etc/networks/interface.... [20:05] is there a way to open one note documents in ubuntu? or even better a whole book? [20:05] leitao: I'm on 14.04 right now [20:06] tgm4883, do you have 70-something? [20:06] okay that makes better sense.

[20:11] You can also use Ubuntu Software Center instead of gdebi, but it's painfully slow. [20:12] ok and its fun to use the terminal btw. for one note is there an alternative? [20:12] or there is nothing in ubuntu like that === jak is now known as Guest6582 [20:14] Afternoon! [20:14] I've noticed that the url http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages generates a 404 Not Found error, but there is a Packages.bz2 and a Packages.gz instead. Could apt somehow be missing that filename extension? [20:14] leitao: just checked one of my 14.04 servers, it's still eth0. I don't have a persistent rules file for udev though [20:15] my desktop was upgraded from 12.04, so it might have that leftover [20:15] camtron: run a "sudo apt-get update". you seem to have a old package list for files that are not on the servers anymore [20:15] at the login screen I can choose the window manager type (KDE,gnome, cinnamon, etc). is this someting I can preset via command line or script? [20:15] tgm4883, right, that might explain it. [20:15] switched from Unity to Gnome: now the mouse scroll wheel shows command history, not up/down viewing in the terminal -- howto revert this unexpected behavior ???? [20:15] k1l: That's what I did. And it gives me 404 Not Found errors each time. [20:16] camtron: can you pastebin it? [20:17] k1l: http://pastebin.com/53SVxFKT [20:17] rsvp: What term emulator do you use? [20:18] Giwrgaras: sorry wife came home and I have to go again. re commandline dpkg works with installing debs ie sudo dpkg -i .deb check the docs for further details. :) [20:18] agent_white: just the generic one which came installed with Trusty. [20:18] camtron: -> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ <- resolves for me .. what is your result ? [20:19] rsvp: Probably gnome terminal? -- `basename $(ps -f -p $(cat /proc/$(echo $$)/stat | cut -d \ -f 4) | tail -1 | sed 's/^.* //')` to check and see. [20:19] (greps parent process name) [20:20] camtron: did you make changes to your sources.list? [20:20] Bashing-om: Yes, that url resolves for me. But addresses like http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/Packages (see the W: lines in that pastebin) don't resolve. [20:21] Hey, need feedback for a Ubuntu PC build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4W6NBm [20:21] agent_white: yup, Gnome terminal 3.6.2 -- but how does one modify its said behavior? [20:21] rsvp: `dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal` [20:21] Let me know if that works for you! [20:21] Gnomethrower: what is the intended use? [20:21] thanks very much [20:21] :) cheers! [20:21] tgm4883: as a server [20:22] I don't believe I made changes to sources.list, but here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8554674/ [20:22] Gnomethrower: do you really need like a billion thermal paste?

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [20:23] I have been trying to get the ubuntu kernal source for saucy, but oddly the git repo rejects my request to clone. Does this work for anyone else: git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-saucy.git [20:23] Just never use more than a pea's worth on your cpu! :) [20:23] isn't thermal paste so that the conduction between the heat sink and the cpu is improved? [20:23] ok sorry [20:23] Gnomethrower: honestly, did you just go through and pick the most expensive parts you could buy? This would be a terrible server [20:24] well, terribly priced [20:24] actually, I'm just going to ask Gnomethrower to stop trolling [20:25] tgm4883: what if I want legit advice? :/ [20:25] If I buy a capable computer, ++ processor with quad core, or 8 cores with hyperthreading, ++ GPU, 16 of ram, etc, could a Vbox .vdm of Windows 7 run streaming TV? I don't want to mess with my Linux installs, for that stuff, I keep the browsers, buttoned down with Linux. [20:25] Gnomethrower: then you should bring a legit build [20:25] camtron: Do not know yet "The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/Packages was not found on this server. " I also get. [20:25] tgm4883: it's a matter of taste [20:25] I like my builds cool and expensive [20:25] camtron: hmm. dont know actually [20:25] price is no object [20:25] Gnomethrower: BullS***. A server doesn't run Windows 7, 16GB ram and 3 monitors [20:26] camtron: you could try to change to the main-servers (in system settings for updates) and then run "sudo apt-get update" again [20:26] tgm4883: I wanted Windows 7 so I could wipe it out [20:26] Bashing-om: I'm wondering if there should be a .bz2 or .gz appended to those bad urls. [20:26] neiter an 12gb nvidia card [20:26] neither* [20:26] kostkon: it's for rendering... [20:27] Gnomethrower: for $85K this is a terrible server [20:27] camtron: no. that is what apt is doing in the background. it seems to not find that specific server [20:27] not even power redundant [20:27] lovely [20:27] jungle_bg_: Reject for me too. All the others worked... odd. [20:28] Gnomethrower: for rendering? Good thing you have $1.5K headphones and $1K 2ch speakers [20:28] camtron: I saw no fault with your sources.list file, If I step through from " http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ " I find no fault, and I can ping the IP ..hummm. [20:28] lol [20:28] agent_white: Thank you for the sanity check === wolf is now known as Guest57700 [20:28] jungle_bg_: Yeah... I'm just curious what the deal is there! Makes no sense... [20:29] wireless and wired. Because that is what I need in my rendering server, wireless NIC [20:29] I was about to kick the dog and the cat. Well F..That's the release I need [20:29] Gnomethrower: thanks, it's been a busy day and I needed a good laugh [20:29] and with that, I think we can get back to Ubuntu support. [20:29] tgm4883: hmm... I can do a build for $130K that I think you'll like a lot more [20:30] !ot [20:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:30] Gnomethrower: leave the channel clear for actual support, thanks [20:30] Gnomethrower: doubt I would "like" it, but might think it's pretty funny though. I agree that this is OT though === gthank is now known as zz_gthank [20:30] jungle_bg_: Try asking in #ubuntu-devel [20:32] rww: I'm asking seriously [20:32] but sure. I'll just be ignored anyways :P [20:32] Gnomethrower: What he means is -- that question is very broad, not suitable for #ubuntu specifically. [20:32] Gnomethrower: in any case, even if you were serious that isn't a support question [20:32] Gnomethrower: ask it elsewhere. [20:32] rww: Way to be welcoming to newbies. [20:32] #ubuntu-offtopic is always good for a discussion of a metric tonne of thermal paste [20:33] * Gnomethrower writes rww on a list [20:33] hey all, since a day or two ago I'm getting a 404 on: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages [20:33] lol [20:33] Gnomethrower: just go to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat about your fantasy build [20:33] Gnomethrower: this channel is for technical ubuntu support. not for hardware support. so please ask in ##hardware or in #ubuntu-offtopic. no drama needed. [20:34] but http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-security/Release says it's there and has checksums for it [20:34] I wouldn't mind except that the warning is throwing my automation off... [20:34] k1l: I was asking specifically how it would do as a #ubuntu server. [20:34] rww made it personal [20:34] So... to bump jungle_bg_'s question... any of you guys able to clone the Ubuntu-Saucy repo? [20:34] (git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-saucy.git) === zero is now known as Guest29568 [20:34] TheMystic: well, camtron got same issue right now. === A7med is now known as Neo31 [20:35] k1l: heh, so is anyone here that manages the security repository? :) [20:35] Packages.gz and Packages.bz2 are there, and if I un-gzip Packages.gz, it checksums correctly per precise-security/Release [20:35] TheMystic: for the other user its not the security server but some us.archive server for precise. [20:36] TheMystic: maybe the servers have some mirroring issue right now. or your ISP got some dns issue [20:36] Hello people. In my desktop I have 3GB of ram and I am running xubuntu 14.04 LTS and the memory usage doesn't get over 500 (I assume its considering 512MB of ram out of 3GB) and at times cpu usage goes high and hangs for few seconds. I need to know how to get full usage of ram ? [20:37] agent_white: it isn't listed here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git so it's probably gone [20:37] * camtron crosses fingers [20:37] munnabhai: why do you think you are not getting use of your ram [20:37] k1l: not a DNS issue -- I can get to security.ubuntu.com just fine. it's been going on for at least 24hrs or so [20:37] camtron: Always amazing to me what I do not know; " http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/ " resolves, but "packages" is not in the list , to complete your given URL - above. [20:38] Woohoo! I followed this and it fixed my problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/128369/sudo-apt-get-update-error-on-ubuntu-12-04 [20:38] trism: Huh, didn't bother to check there! But I did find it in the list. [20:38] I have checked it in system load monitor it shows around 480MB out of 3021MB used even on heavy usage [20:38] trism: Thank you! [20:38] jungle_bg_: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/bradf/ubuntu-saucy/.git [20:38] munnabhai: it only uses the ram it needs [20:39] munnabhai: but heavy usage doesn't necessarily mean RAM usage [20:39] munnabhai: you can't make it use ram it doesn't need (it uses that for caching) [20:39] thanks [20:39] agent_white: thank you [20:39] munnabhai: What do you consider heavy usage? [20:39] :) [20:40] camtron: checking what that solution is ! [20:40] hello all. my friend has a broadcom4321 wireless card. He's running Linux Mint. It connects to most access points fine, as long as he doesn't have to go through an authentication page... then it refuses connection. [20:40] ikonia: Okay! I heard people saying use PAE KERNEL if am using 32bit of os with more than 2GB of ram [20:40] ...did that paste? [20:40] munnabhai: they gave you the wrong info [20:40] jungle_bg_: Yup! It was all trism though. He said to check http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git [20:40] munnabhai: you're fine with 3GB of ram on 32bit [20:41] munnabhai, it's more than 4GB needs PAE kernel [20:41] hey hey [20:41] PAE is some way for 32-bit systems to use more than 4 GB of RAM. But I think programs have to support it to be able to utilize it. [20:41] tekrar bağlandım. [20:42] was in here earlier asking about 14.04 and a heat issue [20:42] https://scontent-b-vie.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1900090_10152342995187791_1734234298476119364_n.jpg?oh=41fabde22b69e9aa821aba63caee3922&oe=54C5BFF1 [20:42] https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10371360_10152342995407791_6858589693690265914_n.jpg?oh=4347882e7f35140697f62d43b91713fa&oe=54AA8E39&__gda__=1420663366_a3459fb8f9f45f2e60df2eb4637c4520 [20:42] ^^ thats the fix [20:42] ah, URIs conceived by geniuses... [20:42] Jordan_U: i wanted to check the performance with 3GB of ram so i opened many applications (browser, media player, kdenlive, gimp etc) but my cpu usage goes upto 100% but ram never get over 500MB. I got confused there ! [20:43] munnabhai: you would need to open programs known to use large amounts of RAM [20:43] impi: heh, where'd you find that tribble? [20:43] reisio, that's pushing the 255 character limit, i guess LOL [20:43] munnabhai: how do you check ram usage? [20:43] camtron: so changing the mirrors did help? [20:43] TheMystic, tribble? the baby thing? [20:43] tgm4883: Programs known to use large amounts of RAM ? like ? [20:44] ObrienDave: it's just hard to imagine a human being using logic to conceive such a scheme :p [20:44] impi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribble [20:44] brontosaurusrex: i used System Load Monitor. It'll give me cpu, memory and swap usage details. [20:44] munnabhai: actually, even with PAE, individual programs are still limited to the 3.2(or whatever)... [20:44] reisio, i never said it was logical LOL [20:44] k1l: Yes. Going to the "Software Source" from either Synaptic or USC and changing the mirror and choosing "Select Best Server" fixed it. [20:44] HAHAHAHAHA [20:45] nor I :p [20:45] TheMystic, thats funny! i found him hiding in my fan the bugger [20:45] munnabhai: and a utility like htop agrees? [20:45] munnabhai: cpu is a resource just like ram is just because rams enough doesn't mean your cpu is powerfull enough to run everything [20:46] a 486 cannot run 3d graphics smoothly [20:46] Okay! I have used windows with this configuration and it worked pretty fast, now I dont understand my xubuntu doesn't work that efficiently. Any way to install graphic drivers in xubuntu ? [20:47] Munnabhai: have you tried #xubuntu? [20:47] brontosaurusrex: htop ? Sorry, No idea. I would consider looking at it [20:47] munnabhai: apt-get install htop & htop [20:48] Digipeng: No. Thought this would be the right place to get it instantly. [20:48] brontosaurusrex: get it ! I will give it a try. Hope my desktop doesn't hang. [20:50] when does the swap memory will get used ? I am kind of beginner to these funtionalities. [20:52] munnabhai: If you're curious, check out this article. http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/tales-from-responsivenessland-why-linux-feels-slow-and-how-to-fix-that [20:52] brontosaurusrex: Be careful when giving instructions that look like terminal commands. "apt-get install htop & htop", as a terminal command, has two issues. 1: It would need a sudo to run apt-get as root, and you would want to use "&&" to run htop only after apt-get finishes (successfully) ('&' will run second command at the same time as the first, with the first command running in the background). [20:52] (it's about prioritizing RAM vs swap usage, and stuff) [20:52] agent_white: I am on it. [20:53] Jordan_U: i stand corrected [20:53] munnabhai: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq < possibly worth reading [20:55] brontosaurusrex: Thanks. I ll go through these and few other similar forums to fix the issue. [21:00] anyone have an anti-virus that they suggest?

[21:04] i think that means "if i have a virus", so the answer is no [21:06] question: How do I delete the last word of the line I am are currently in while using Vim?

Why it is preinstalled in so many distros when it causes so many troubles and nearly nobody uses its features [21:11] and why Ubuntu use such old version of pulseaudio when there is version 5 with many fixes for years?

Pulseaudio is one of two ways (the other being dmix) to allow two applications to play sound at once, and pulseaudio (unlike dmix) allows for variable latency between different applications and operations within applications, so a music player can avoid skipping and conserve power (large buffer), while a game can play soun [21:13] pbx, how do i run clamav?

[21:41] OerHeks: so you have to use pacmd to load any different profile and then load again 51 [21:42] how can i install nvidias latest driver on the livecd before it boots up [21:42] ObrienDave: thanks Jordan_U, No I just needed to know what to launch from terminal [21:42] remaster it or use a usb with persistence grubs_mcgee === Effenberg0x0 is now known as Effenberg0x0Away [21:43] ZeXx86 what is this spirit system i dont understand...

If you are using LVM then you can take a snapshot and backup that. [22:04] Ah, thanks pinumbernumber & Jordan_U [22:04] POLYPUSHER: You're welcome. [22:04] hi [22:04] hello, I have a question related to ALSA and JACK [22:05] !ops [22:05] Help! Channel emergency!

When I record, there is a clicking noise every few seconds and then it becomes more and more frequent. It's similar with playback through JACK - there's clicking when I play a virtual instrument [22:06] I though it could be occured by varying clock rate but I fixed it to 4GHz and it's still occuring. I tried changing buffer settings in JACK but nothing really helps. JACK runs through ALSA and I bet it's a problem with ALSA in fact [22:06] aethersis: are you musician? [22:06] kinda, I play baroque music [22:06] aethersis: kool [22:07] it's really annoying - not very annoying when you just play for yourself (although disturbing) but when I want to record something, such noise is unacceptable! [22:07] aethersis: have no idea dude :) [22:07] I would be so thankful if anyone could help... I've been fighting with this issue for months and nothing comes to my mind... I even tried different soundcard and the problem still occurs [22:07] aethersis: just change the tempo of the song to match the clicking noise [22:08] haha good one, but the clicking is irregular so it's impossible [22:08] it's not like clicking in background, it distorts signal [22:08] hi all i need urgent help i tried to install to remove --purge a package and there were many packages that were listed too , to remove but i thought whatever an hit enter... then i read sth about xfce .. and i quickly exited but it was too late... now it removed some really important packages including X ... can i somehow install the essentials again quickly_ [22:08] like it's choking on frames [22:09] Alopex yes - do you use xubuntu? [22:09] zes [22:09] yez [22:09] yes [22:09] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:09] it should fix it [22:09] Alopex: if that doesn't work, add install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop [22:10] ok lemme try.. ill report and pay you in bitcoin if it worked [22:10] u [22:10] what would be the downsides to using an old release of ubuntu? (9.04) [22:10] I bet what you did introduced some horrible changes and removed lots of apps so this command is neccessary. Otherwise you could just reinstall missing components but it would take too much time [22:10] int_r security :D [22:10] int_r: why would you not use 14.04? [22:10] :( shame [22:11] explosive: just the feel of 9.04 hasn't been matched since [22:11] if you don't like the new look and unity, you can go to xubuntu just like me. [22:11] hm. [22:11] aethersis: what does your xfce look like? I need some inspiration [22:11] int_r: besides lacking security updates: lacking features,lacking hardware support, lacking bug fixing, no actual software build for it,.. [22:12] it's also lighweight, simplistic and convinient (at least for me). If you want to see what it looks like, you just google it :p [22:12] to be honest, i just switched to lxle. still ubuntu based, but half-uses the old gnome [22:12] int_r: google images, xfce [22:12] is lxle the lxde distro? [22:12] there's lubuntu based on lxde [22:12] int_r: try xubuntu or with 14.10 mate-ubuntu [22:12] that's the distro you are looking for [22:13] int_r: lxle is not a ubuntu version. Lubuntu is the lxde version [22:13] can anyone help me with the horrible issue with alsa and jackd? [22:13] k1l why did you ban that person === Gnomethrower is now known as Gnomey|away [22:14] aethersis: triggering the ops trigger with no reason (besides to make drama). for future questions you are free to ask in #ubuntu-ops [22:14] How do i set the permissions of the others group, and only the others group to nothing (0 or ---)?

[22:15] facepalm: Found: pepperflashplugin-nonfree [22:15] aethersis: nice .. thank you , i was really shaking [22:15] facepalm, you don't need a ppa [22:15] aethersis: i'm using linux for like 5 years [22:16] xangua, kostkon thanks.

[22:22] noblow91, What are the basic specs? cpu/mem/hd [22:22] noblow91: don't use GNOME/Unity/KDE [22:22] noblow91 don't install ubuntu, install lubuntu - it's much lighter [22:22] don't reinstall just to change DE, though :p [22:23] noblow91: Lubuntu uses zram and its lightweight [22:24] Is a list of lsof processes on 2 of 40 boxes a sign that something is dying hardware wise? [22:25] Causing the load to go sky high [22:25] After random time periods e.g. 2 weeks of being online [22:25] well im currently using a distro based on lubuntu 10.04, but its still running a bit sluggish. [22:26] ive got 2gb ram, 60gb hard drive, and i have no idea what my processor speed is. its a celeron m. [22:26] so how about that ebola [22:27] noblow91: grep -i mhz /proc/cpuinfo [22:27] noblow91: lspci | grep -i vga [22:27] Eugene_: this is a technical support channel only. so for chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic [22:27] noblow91: Try Lubuntu 14.04, which is running fairly well on my 10 year old laptop. [22:27] if you want to know about ebola listen to the alex jones show [22:27] k1l do you have any idea about ALSA and JACK? [22:28] cpu: 1496.263 [22:28] DavyCrockett: Please stick to the channel topic here as well, #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussion. [22:29] holy crap...my phone is faster than my laptop... [22:29] aethersis: sorry, no audio-guy [22:30] Jordan_U, I will give it a shot. [22:30] cuddylier: What do you mean by "a list of lsof processes"? [22:31] Jordan_U Just a lot of lsof processes running [22:31] Processes go from 250 to 1200 [22:31] And the load goes from 5 to 200 [22:31] And it keeps rising until I reboot [22:32] So it would eternally rise to a point then crash probably [22:32] cuddylier: Try running "pstree" and hopefully it will tell you what's spawning these lsof processes. [22:32] Jordan_U I've done that before and apparently cron was when it wasn't even enabled and I checked all the cron files. [22:33] cuddylier: Do you have a system experiencing these symptoms currently? === AndChat|88724 is now known as Loshki_uk [22:33] Jordan_U Yep [22:33] What is a CPU soft lockup? [22:33] cuddylier: Please pastebin the output of "pstree" from it. [22:34] i get cpu soft lockup now [22:34] AlexPortable: it's a lockup where you can't see the actor's naughty bits clearly [22:34] actors'* [22:35] AlexPortable: It's some code in the kernel starving other code that would want to execute on a given CPU core, generally caused by a kernel bug leading to an infinite loop. [22:35] cpu freeze for 24s [22:36] so how do i fix? [22:36] AlexPortable: File a bug report with "ubuntu-bug linux". === eka_ is now known as Guest32921 [22:45] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/9645704 [22:46] cuddylier: Are you using a non EN locale? [22:46] Jordan_U: I selected United Kingdom in the install originally so I guess no [22:46] Hello! I might have done something very silly [22:47] Jordan_U: It always adds those weird characters around every process name [22:47] The weird a's [22:47] I've deleted the /dev/sdb device file. Is there any way to restore it? [22:47] cuddylier: Try "pstree -A" :) [22:48] HexSquid: How did you do that, and why? [22:48] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/private/r0du9acgycevc81qmqwraw [22:48] The java processes are MC servers [22:49] something along the lines of dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb [22:49] you can see the lsof at the top [22:49] I was frantically trying to obliterate an sdcard [22:49] But I think I've borked my laptops sdcard reader [22:50] HexSquid: You haven't hurt the reader at all, but you have lost all of the data that was on /dev/sdb. [22:50] lol [22:50] So I figured [22:50] reboot the computer and see if it comes back [22:50] HexSquid: in other words, mission accomplished [22:51] I am using 14.04 with gnome-shell, what's the tool to manage window decoration? [22:51] Yeah I've tried that - any sdcard I put in is not recognised. /dev/sdb doesn't appear to even be there anymore [22:52] cuddylier: What user is lsof running as? [22:52] Jordan_U What command do I need to type to see? [22:52] Actually, root [22:52] I remember from before [22:52] All the MC servers run under their own users so it's definitely not them [22:53] HexSquid: you might of just deleted the driver or the links to the driver [22:53] It's impossible for someone even with a python script on one to run a process outside of their user [22:53] So it's something else randomly generating them at a random point in time [22:53] HexSquid: It probably won't appear as /dev/sdb, but rather as some other /dev/sdX. Try "lsblk" to list all block devices. [22:53] ok found it, it's called tweak-tool [22:53] Jordan_U ok, trying ... [22:55] cuddylier: What is the output of "sudo crontab -l"? [22:55] # m h dom mon dow command [22:55] 0 */1 * * * sh /root/modpack_autoupdater.sh [22:55] */45 * * * * sh /root/autoupdaterscript_update.sh [22:55] Just that [22:55] And I made those two scripts, neither go near lsof [22:55] They run on the 38 other nodes too every hour. [22:55] cuddylier: Next time for more than one line of output please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com === jq- is now known as CyberBully [22:56] Jordan_U Yeah sorry [22:56] Jordan_U I just see sda there [22:57] so im locked out of my lock screen? this has never happened before.. i can see a square around my login name.. but when i click on it, it doesnt do anything [22:57] cuddylier: Do you use PHP? There appears to be a sessionclean script automatically run via cron related to PHP. [22:57] Digipeng: this is a lesson in knowing enough to break things :( [22:58] keyboard input doesn't do anything.. this is latest 14.04.1 [22:58] Jordan_U Only for this: http://node42.spartanhost.net/uptime.php [22:58] But again, runs on all nodes. === William is now known as Guest37325 [22:58] Apart from that, php is used for nothing else [22:58] lol @Hexquid we all have that temptation [22:59] he's missing the link to /dev/sdb [22:59] has anyone else been locked out of the lock screen ? [22:59] i want to try and recover my logged in session if possible.. i have unsaved work etc [22:59] cuddylier: "locate sessionclean" [22:59] ./usr/lib/php5/sessionclean === Gnomey|away is now known as Gnomethrower [23:00] ideas anyone ? .. i could restart lightdm.. but that will kill all the apps in the session [23:00] cuddylier: If that's the only file named "sessionclean" on your system, it's probably what's causing this (as it's the parent of lsof). [23:01] snadg3: Can you log in at a tty? [23:01] Jordan_U: What should I do with it? [23:01] yes.. thats how im on irc right now === CyberBully is now known as jq- [23:02] snadg3: First, try switching to the tty that has your gnome session in it, using ctrl+alt+F{7,8,9}. You should get to a screen saying something along the lines of "Your session is locked, bringing you to the login screen". === CoreIT84 is now known as Corey84 [23:02] yes.. in this session, it has my login name with a square around it.. but if i click on it, or type.. it does nothing, its as if its frozen [23:02] snadg3: If you do, make note of what tty you saw that message on, so that we can try unlocking the session via the terminal, then switch back to it once it's unlocked. === Guest37325 is now known as Conna [23:03] its F7 [23:03] snadg3: Does it have a message about redirecting you elsewhere? [23:03] Jordan_U: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1356113 [23:03] Ubuntu bug 1356113 in php5 (Ubuntu) "PHP5 session clean cron job causes OOM" [Undecided,New] [23:03] Jordan_U: nope.. i've never seen this behaviour from lightdm before.. its unusual [23:04] snadg3: Then it's not the screen I'm talking about, try F8. [23:04] Jordan_U: This is the sessionclean file: http://pastie.org/private/un7ruizjapapkiwlq9ea [23:04] You can see the lsof in it [23:05] Jordan_U: everything after F7 is blank cursor [23:06] Jordan_U: It seems my other server boxes have an empty /var/lib/php5 [23:07] sinc... [23:08] whatsup kythera [23:08] hey, someone here could point me a cool chating spot? maybe another server...

[23:13] i remember (back in the day) that i had to use "/server -m", but this dont work here... or does it? [23:16] Scyth: thats off topic, but /server servernamehere works for chatzilla [23:17] i had trouble adding logical partitions for swap and /home because my free space kept becoming unusable after i put the 4th primary position for / [23:17] so i did the 4th primary last, did i do it right? [23:17] you can only have 4 primary partitions [23:17] *up to 4 [23:18] i want trying to put a 4th primary. i wanted to put 2 logical but free space was unusable [23:18] wasn't [23:18] Hulksmash: You need to have one of your primary slots used by an "extended" partition, and all of your logical partitions must be within the space allocated to this extended partition. [23:18] wasn't trying to put a fifth primary [23:19] Well if you system used uefi not a biggy [23:19] Hulksmash, 3 primaries and a extended for the logicals is your option. [23:19] how do I get the ubuntu version? [23:19] from terminal [23:19] thank you. i did not see option for extended in the installer, only primary and logical [23:19] i will check again [23:20] hi guys [23:20] i am new in ubuntu. i would like to install comfiz [23:20] how ill i do that ?

[23:25] oh ok. i am just a newbie sorry [23:25] Mugen_Deutsche, sorry, i use XFCE, not unity [23:26] evil_dan2wik: might want to consider installing the following nice utility imho https://code.google.com/p/inxi/ [23:26] Mugen_Deutsche: its "compiz" and yes, compiz is already running since unity is made with that. you can see "unity-tweak-tool" for settings with unity. [23:26] Mugen_Deutsche: there is the "ccsm" for settings with compiz, but this is an advanced users tool. if you mess with that you can make ubuntu not login any more [23:26] is it good too like compiz ? === NaStYdoG is now known as Guest91886 [23:27] it's personal preference. i don;t happen to like unity or gnome [23:27] kll, will you teach me ? [23:27] Mugen_Deutsche, before messing with compiz, use it's back up for the stock setup, and be aware of resets for the unity desktop and compiz.
