| neldogz | Hi all, do you have to install any 32 bit libraries to run Steam games if you are running Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-bit? | 00:00 |
| Quatroking | I'm not interested in just moving home, I'm interested in moving the entire install | 00:01 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, i'm back | 00:01 |
| Quatroking | yay https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MovingLinuxPartition | 00:01 |
| reisio | Quatroking: from the live OS, recreate partitions, rsync -ap the data over, reinstall grub | 00:01 |
| Quatroking | reisio, is that faster than the movinglinuxpartition tutorial? | 00:02 |
| ObrienDave | Finetundra_, k, do you have anything critical on this drive? | 00:03 |
| pbx | neldogz, i think the steam installer will do what it needs to do. | 00:03 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, nothing really important. anything that i intended to keep is currently backed up. hows this look for the edit? http://imgur.com/14620hK | 00:04 |
| ObrienDave | looks good | 00:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: why did you setup on the wrong hd exactly? | 00:05 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, ok, hitting go | 00:05 |
| ObrienDave | k | 00:05 |
| neldogz | pbx, thanks ! | 00:05 |
| Quatroking | I probably did because windows was on the primary drive, and I cut secondary drive's size in half for ubuntu | 00:05 |
| Quatroking | didn't expect to never use windows again on the laptop, I guess | 00:06 |
| ObrienDave | Finetundra_, like that extra wide monitor BTW :) | 00:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: make your life easy and single install 14.04 on your whole hd | 00:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: you can run winblows from virtualbox after :p | 00:06 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, thanks | 00:06 |
| Quatroking | is there a way to quickly transfer over all settings, installed packages, my custom bootup, etc.? | 00:07 |
| lotuspsychje | !info aptoncd | Quatroking | 00:07 |
| ubottu | Quatroking: aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.98+bzr117-1.4 (trusty), package size 213 kB, installed size 1561 kB | 00:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: thats for the packages part | 00:08 |
| Quatroking | er | 00:08 |
| Quatroking | does that also work without disc | 00:08 |
| Quatroking | my laptop doesn't have an optical drive | 00:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: yes | 00:08 |
| Quatroking | oh, cool | 00:08 |
| reisio | Quatroking: I'd say it's faster and more reliable | 00:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Quatroking: maybe someone else knows a nice package to backup configs | 00:09 |
| reisio | all your configs that matter should be in ~/, which you'll likely want to backup entirely | 00:10 |
| ObrienDave | rsync? ;P | 00:10 |
| lotuspsychje | there we go :p | 00:10 |
| Quatroking | reisio, hey now, my custom boot screen is very important | 00:10 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 00:11 |
| Quatroking | it has a shiny ubuntu logo rising up like a sun and everything | 00:11 |
| ObrienDave | screenshot? | 00:11 |
| * lotuspsychje rather likes fast 'quiet splash' off boot on his ssd | 00:11 | |
| Quatroking | ObrienDave, this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-4xTkN1_RQ | 00:12 |
| reisio | Quatroking: you probably have a copy of it in your ~/ then | 00:12 |
| ObrienDave | Quatroking, very cool :) | 00:12 |
| reisio | you don't need to backup things available in the repos, either | 00:13 |
| Quatroking | no idea if I have a copy of it in my ~/ | 00:13 |
| Quatroking | there's no .plymouth or anything so I don't think I do | 00:13 |
| Quatroking | meh, guess I can reinstall it | 00:13 |
| reisio | logic would suggest | 00:14 |
| reisio | did you decide not to just migrate? | 00:14 |
| Quatroking | I just made an aptoncd iso | 00:14 |
| reisio | k... | 00:14 |
| Quatroking | the bootscreen isn't saved in home or something | 00:15 |
| Quatroking | will be moving everything on friday, when I'm done with uni and got a week off | 00:15 |
| reisio | well it won't take a week to move an install from one disk to another :) | 00:17 |
| ObrienDave | hopefully ;P | 00:17 |
| Quatroking | yeah but in case something goes wrong I can at least do my schoolwork | 00:17 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i tail -f networking/wifi errors only from syslog or dmesq? | 00:17 |
| Quatroking | if I go and do everything now I risk not being able to do stuff tomorrow | 00:17 |
| Quatroking | which isn't really something I'm looking forward to | 00:18 |
| Waffl3x | hi | 00:18 |
| reisio | ohai | 00:18 |
| Waffl3x | I accidently installed kubuntu 32 bit, is there an easy way to install 64 bit or do I have to completely uninstall and reinstall | 00:18 |
| reisio | Waffl3x: latter | 00:19 |
| keviv | Why hello | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | unfortunate | 00:19 |
| reisio | Waffl3x: that is, you have to reinstall | 00:19 |
| reisio | Waffl3x: yeah | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | okay so | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | how do I uninstall | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | :D | 00:19 |
| reisio | it's not that you can't replace a 32-bit system with a 64-bit system without running the installer, it's just that running the installer takes less time and effort | 00:19 |
| reisio | Waffl3x: you don't need to, just install again, with the 64-bit version | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | it will install right over? | 00:19 |
| Waffl3x | nice | 00:19 |
| reisio | it should at least give you the option | 00:20 |
| reisio | otherwise you can delete the partitions and it will | 00:20 |
| Waffl3x | I just installed it today, didnt realise I downloaded 32 bit | 00:20 |
| reisio | Waffl3x: :) | 00:20 |
| reisio | luckily it doesn't take all that long | 00:20 |
| Waffl3x | so do I have to install it from usb again | 00:21 |
| Waffl3x | or can I just run the iso? | 00:21 |
| Waffl3x | actually that sounds silly | 00:21 |
| Waffl3x | am I being silly | 00:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Waffl3x: you can use disk creator from your 32bit to create your 64bit usb stick | 00:22 |
| Waffl3x | not completely sure how to do that | 00:22 |
| === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson | ||
| Waffl3x | but sounds good | 00:22 |
| Waffl3x | could I just use yumi? | 00:23 |
| Waffl3x | would that be easier? | 00:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Waffl3x: download the 64bit iso, start the usb disk creator and create | 00:23 |
| Waffl3x | lotuspsychje: easier said then done when I dont know how to navigate kubuntu yet :) | 00:24 |
| lj1102 | hello, i want to execute two commands in terminal simultaniously but want to exit both of them when one exits, how would i accomplish this? | 00:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Waffl3x: ah kubuntu, not sure it uses the disk creator there | 00:24 |
| reisio | lj1102: gnu parallel | 00:25 |
| celroc | Waffl3x: You can probably click on the Application Menu thing (Sorry, haven't used KDE for a while. That little thing that's like a Start Menu) and then start typing "disk Creator" ... I think that will search for it. Maybe. | 00:25 |
| reisio | lj1102: for runningg simultaneously; exiting is simpler: foo && killall bar | 00:25 |
| reisio | lj1102: or sigterm to be nicer | 00:25 |
| SorcerousFox | Should it be called a KMenu? x) I haven't used kde in a while either | 00:25 |
| Waffl3x | thank you | 00:26 |
| lotuspsychje | unity freaks here :p | 00:26 |
| celroc | SorcerousFox: Either that of the K Application Launcher thing... unless they renamed it since I've used KDE | 00:26 |
| SorcerousFox | lotuspsychje: Openbox actually ;) | 00:26 |
| lotuspsychje | SorcerousFox: also nice | 00:26 |

| celroc | lotuspsychje: Haha! Alright, I'll admit to that. | 00:29 |
| lotuspsychje | someone knows how i can -tail -f networking/wifi errors only from the /var/logs? | 00:29 |
| SorcerousFox | I just have a preference for low resource usage lol. the 1Gb ram+ on the big DE's boggles me brain | 00:30 |
| SorcerousFox | unity and gnome-shell 3 | 00:30 |
| SorcerousFox | i don't know how kde is | 00:30 |
| celroc | lotuspsychje: I don't exactly, but if you know a specific piece of text that is present in all the networking/wifi errors, you can pipe the output through grep I think. Something like: tail -f /var/logs/awesomeLogFile.log | grep textInErrorMessages | 00:32 |
| === Termana is now known as Guest10202 | ||
| lotuspsychje | celroc: lemme try colortail -f /var/log/syslog | grep network | 00:32 |

| loa | Rexter, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input | 01:50 |
| Rexter | milad1512; you can find IDE's for just about everything | 01:50 |
| veryhappy | milad1512: you need to know what you want to program. then you should ask yourself: what language is the best for that purpose? | 01:50 |
| rebeccarobertlil | what are you trying to code/program? | 01:51 |
| milad1512 | veryhappy , is there a question like that ? | 01:51 |
| milad1512 | very happy , the way you say it i should go learn every language that exist | 01:52 |
| veryhappy | milad1512: you can use java if you want your program to run on windows and linux or you are using c for some hardware programming / software | 01:52 |
| veryhappy | milad1512: you do yourself a favor if you learn c / java ... | 01:52 |
| veryhappy | that's mostly used nowadays afaik | 01:53 |

| veryhappy | guys anyone who can help me with my standby mode? | 01:53 |
| SorcerousFox | I learned java first and then ended up wanting to learn c and c++ but I just can't make myself do it lol. so instead I taught myself node.js and python . | 01:54 |
| loa | Rexter, needle? there is exact answer what you need to do. | 01:54 |
| SorcerousFox | veryhappy: I used to get that error on an older toshiba and it was because the firmware wasn't compatible with linux.. I don't know what exactly your issue might be though. Its been a while | 01:54 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, got about 1.5 hrs left | 01:55 |
| loa | just pasting command xinput somewhere is bad decision, because mouse is hotplug device. | 01:55 |
| ObrienDave | Finetundra_, np | 01:55 |
| loa | create input class for your device and setup accelaration as you want. | 01:55 |

| gshmu | can xargs work with & | 02:16 |

| gshmu | `$ echo './t.md' | xargs -i gedit {} &` !== $ echo './t.md' | gedit ` | 02:20 |
| rebeccarobertlil | samba?? good,,bad? | 02:20 |
| somsip | rebeccarobertlil: slow | 02:20 |
| loa | Rexter, again "-conf" | 02:20 |
| rebeccarobertlil | any recommendations? | 02:20 |
| Rexter | loa, xorg-conf? | 02:21 |
| somsip | rebeccarobertlil: depends on the need. NFS is faster but trickier to setup. with connections to WIN machines, samba is probably easiest. | 02:21 |
| loa | Rexter, i give up. | 02:21 |
| gshmu | `$ echo './t.md' | xargs -i gedit {} &` !== `$ gedit ./t.md &` | 02:21 |
| rebeccarobertlil | thank you very much for your advice | 02:22 |
| Rexter | loa, i think you mad a mistake this time | 02:22 |
| loa | Rexter, compare your path and this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.10.16-06%3A11%3A44.png | 02:23 |

| Rexter | loa, yes, so why did you say "-conf" I know I'm dumb, but I'm starting to think you are high.. ;) | 02:26 |
| Rexter | loa, It all looks right to me, so I'm gonna reboot again. | 02:27 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: "NFS is.. trickier to setup" (then samba)? wow, i certainly don't think so, but YMMV. | 02:29 |
| reisio | I do, because it is | 02:31 |
| reisio | they're both more complex than sshfs, though | 02:31 |
| Rexter | loa; well still not working. Here is my path. What am I missing? /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-deceleration-conf | 02:31 |
| Rexter | loa, here's the config file: http://pastebin.com/fxx9DBcT | 02:33 |
| loa | Rexter, try to move that file here | 02:34 |
| loa | /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 02:34 |
| loa | and ffs call it 50-mouse-deceleration.conf | 02:34 |
| somsip | zykotick9: s/is/can/be to suit personal experience | 02:36 |
| Rexter | loa; well, I can move it, but I have no idea what you mean by ffs call it. I'm out of time, and you're out of patience. Thank you so much for your help. I'm going to put this off til tomorrow. | 02:37 |

| ObrienDave | Finetundra_, back | 03:07 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, its got a minute left | 03:07 |
| ObrienDave | sacarlson, if a tree falls and no one is near to hear it, does it really make a noise? | 03:08 |
| sacarlson | ObrienDave: I don't know I"ll have to look that one up | 03:08 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, its done | 03:08 |
| varunendra | ObrienDave, sacarlson, try "/var/log/treefall.log" There may be some clues there. :p | 03:09 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, where do i go from here | 03:09 |
| ObrienDave | imgur please | 03:09 |
| mrkent | I want to install ubuntu over my lubuntu. Should it just install over everything and work? | 03:11 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, here ya go http://i.imgur.com/pYd3FI4.png | 03:11 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, do i need to reboot? | 03:12 |
| ObrienDave | ok, take LEFT edge of sda2 and move to the front of sda6 | 03:12 |
| Finetundra_ | one sec | 03:12 |
| ObrienDave | that should not take long | 03:12 |
| ObrienDave | couple of minutes i hope ;P | 03:13 |
| ObrienDave | and imgur when done please | 03:13 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, it won't let me move it | 03:14 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, the only available option is to create a new partition in the unallocated space | 03:16 |
| ObrienDave | dang, thinking | 03:16 |
| Finetundra_ | ok | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | ObrienDave: re:Finetundra_ is swap turned off? | 03:18 |
| ObrienDave | it's mounted | 03:18 |
| ObrienDave | right click on sda2 and unmount | 03:18 |
| Finetundra_ | ok | 03:18 |
| ObrienDave | then do the move | 03:19 |
| ObrienDave | if that does not work, turn swap off | 03:19 |
| ObrienDave | zykotick9, yea, forgot that one, thanks | 03:20 |
| Finetundra_ | i can't click unmount, its grayed out. how do i turn off swap | 03:20 |
| zykotick9 | Finetundra_: "sudo swapoff -a" should work | 03:21 |
| ObrienDave | you still on live system, yes? | 03:21 |
| Finetundra_ | of course | 03:21 |
| ObrienDave | cool | 03:21 |
| Finetundra_ | i can resize now that swap is off | 03:22 |
| ObrienDave | excellent, thanks zykotick9 | 03:22 |
| ObrienDave | it was those key looking icons, partition was locked | 03:22 |
| Finetundra_ | yes, thank you zykotick9 | 03:23 |
| Finetundra_ | gotcha | 03:23 |
| zykotick9 | :) | 03:23 |
| satelite | can i develop for android on ubuntu with openjdk or do I have to use oracle's java? | 03:24 |
| Finetundra_ | so i guess i just go ahead and shrink whats left? | 03:24 |
| ObrienDave | after this you can expand sda1 to what ever size you like, then adjust sda2 | 03:24 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, should i resize sda2 first? | 03:24 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 03:24 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, how long should that take | 03:25 |
| ObrienDave | hopefully just a few minutes | 03:25 |
| Finetundra_ | cool | 03:25 |
| === sydney is now known as sydney_goodnight | ||
| ObrienDave | moving left end of sda2 and moving right end of sda1 should be fairly quick | 03:26 |
| ObrienDave | it's when you have to move left end of sda6 to fill sda2, it will take a long time | 03:26 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, how long should expanding sda1 take? | 03:27 |
| ObrienDave | same thing just a few minutes | 03:27 |
| Finetundra_ | ok | 03:27 |
| varunendra | ObrienDave, Finetundra_ playing with the 'LEFT' edge of any partition, even if empty, has never been quick for me. | 03:28 |
| ObrienDave | yes, that is possible also | 03:28 |
| Finetundra_ | cool, both were just a few seconds | 03:28 |

| somsip | sacarlson: using openjdk with eclipse fine here | 03:29 |

| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, so we're cool, all good? | 03:32 |
| Finetundra_ | ObrienDave, the larger one on the left | 03:32 |
| ObrienDave | yes so far. now sda1 does not really need to be that large because sda6 is your /home partition | 03:33 |

| ObrienDave | ok | 03:35 |
| Finetundra_ | so we're all set in that case? | 03:35 |
| ObrienDave | then just fill sda2 with sda6. this move will take a long time. and your done | 03:36 |
| ObrienDave | then reboot and done | 03:36 |
| Finetundra_ | does that have to be done now or can i wait for tomorrow? | 03:36 |
| Finetundra_ | *it | 03:36 |
| ObrienDave | it can wait. reboot and test if you like | 03:36 |

| ObrienDave | langit, http://www.getdeb.net/software/conkywizard | 03:39 |
| langit | oke thx, im go on | 03:40 |
| xpistos | Could it be saying pre-fail because the drive is almost full? | 03:40 |
| ObrienDave | what is the pre-fail value? | 03:41 |
| Finetundra | one more thing, how do you change the splash screen? | 03:41 |
| ObrienDave | which one? | 03:42 |
| Finetundra | for ubuntu | 03:42 |
| Sachiru | Query: Please recommend me a SSD with good write endurance (read/write speeds not that big of a priority, longevity of the device is), 120GB in size, and costs $120 and below please, for OS (not /home or /var) use. | 03:42 |
| ObrienDave | not sure tbh | 03:42 |
| Sachiru | The drive is intended to be read much write rarely | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | !plymouth | Finetundra | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Finetundra: Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 03:43 |

| r3almode | or is there some sentimental attachment ot the dater on that drive | 04:07 |

| Doogie44 | don't think so... it seems to spin fine... I think just somehow corrupted | 04:07 |
| Doogie44 | it's a WD passport | 04:07 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: maybe you could try dd over the partition data, I've had some disk with corupted partitions that dd over partition aria would fix it | 04:08 |
| r3almode | the most delicate component to my ( very limited ) knowledge of hard disk drives.... like the kind which I took the liberty of just assuming you had a 7200 rpm western digital caviar or some such part left over from a shelf-sold retail jaint? | 04:08 |
| r3almode | is the seeker thingy | 04:09 |
| Doogie44 | willing to try... plz explain dd suggestion | 04:09 |
| r3almode | the part which actually writes changes to the platters | 04:09 |
| Doogie44 | oh no this is not a converted drive... it is an actual external drive from the box | 04:10 |
| r3almode | the fact that its spinning, while something to feel good about is but one piece of the puzzle.... lotta pieces to that guy | 04:10 |
| ObrienDave | the part which actually writes changes to the platters are the read/write heads | 04:10 |
| r3almode | Doogie44, I read you now | 04:10 |
| r3almode | get yer ole receipt of purchase | 04:10 |

| r3almode | were you aware that hard drive manufacturers take their products life-times pretty seriously? | 04:11 |
| Doogie44 | is that the actual command | 04:11 |
| Doogie44 | no | 04:11 |
| Doogie44 | so I should call them? | 04:11 |
| r3almode | those cats will give you a new drive.... but it gets weird when you've purchased one from off the shelf somewhere.... Apparently the manufacturers tend to feel its more the responsibility of the retailer to replace any potentially defective drives.... | 04:11 |
| r3almode | its why i order all my parts from resellers who acheive a factory warranty hand-off. Like New Egg or that tiger site whatever it is | 04:12 |
| Doogie44 | ah... yeah I doubt best buy is quite as generous | 04:12 |
| r3almode | :D | 04:12 |
| r3almode | Best Buy aint no hoe | 04:12 |
| r3almode | :D | 04:12 |
| Doogie44 | lol | 04:12 |
| r3almode | they'll hook you up bro | 04:13 |
| Doogie44 | really I am just into the challenge | 04:13 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: the actual command but I don't know what disk you are having the problem with, I'm also not sure the bs size is big enuf but it's enuf to try assuming you plan to loose all data on the disk | 04:13 |
| Doogie44 | yeah not a prob | 04:13 |
| r3almode | they arent worried about the singular incident of a quantum wave-function collapse of fiscal loss.... so long as you - the precious customer goes back to the Best Buy next time you require some new thing..... | 04:14 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: the system should see that after it's done as a system that is unpartitioned and allow you to then correct it | 04:14 |
| r3almode | there is one old trick i used to do years ago to get one last read off of a failing drive | 04:14 |
| r3almode | but this is the stuff of legends.... from back in the ""Big Foot" hard drive days | 04:14 |

| r3almode | Doogie44, | 04:15 |
| r3almode | you are using a passport hdd? | 04:15 |
| Doogie44 | you mean the local internal drive? | 04:16 |
| r3almode | were you aware that there is a boot loader which has to be removed if you desire to use the drive as any type of primary logical volume | 04:16 |
| Doogie44 | yes a usb external one | 04:16 |
| r3almode | think about how many times you plugged that little drive in and HOPED whatever computer you were at would see it | 04:16 |
| Doogie44 | computer is running off an internal seagate or something | 04:16 |
| r3almode | I hate passports | 04:16 |

| === Sachiru_ is now known as Sachiru | ||
| r3almode | Doogie44, theres ways to acheive solid state data storage rather cost-effectively. Where many people go astray is getting far too large a volume from which to store their Operating System files | 04:20 |
| r3almode | or heck at least RAID | 04:20 |
| Doogie44 | could you plzxspell out the dd comand again | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: what is the drive device name? /dev/sdX ? | 04:21 |
| Doogie44 | sdd is in my future for sure | 04:21 |
| r3almode | everybody feels the need to break my raid mirrors though.... they see parity-bit redundancy on the one hand.... and combined data storage wins out in that feeble little cortex - errr time | 04:21 |
| Doogie44 | dev/sdb | 04:21 |
| r3almode | i like the idea of solid state. | 04:22 |
| r3almode | considering I dont even have a truly competent understanding of the old-school jaints though.... I probably dont really need / deserve one yet | 04:22 |

| Doogie44 | lol | 04:26 |
| r3almode | I am personally seeking someone who understands IDS ( intrusion detection software ) and how to actually implement it in some way at least vaguely on-par with the way the enterprise cats at Tripwire do it. | 04:26 |
| Doogie44 | all it will do is wipe the passport right? | 04:26 |
| r3almode | I really just want particular directories to be recursively checked for integrity.... binaries and /proc really | 04:27 |
| sacarlson | r3almode: there is the tripwire package you can configure to be tight | 04:28 |
| r3almode | got myself middled one good time i did | 04:28 |
| r3almode | a date which will live in infamy | 04:28 |
| sacarlson | r3almode: I played with it once when my website was hacked by rusians | 04:29 |
| r3almode | got me a ole persistent 3 way MBR/ smbios/ RAM backdoor | 04:29 |
| r3almode | I had a blast though | 04:29 |
| r3almode | I learned more than is fair :) | 04:29 |
| r3almode | and I now vehemently oppose Absolute software inc.... but thats a story for another chan | 04:30 |
| r3almode | sacarlson, what kind of problems did they cause you? :) | 04:31 |
| r3almode | and did Tripwire give you some peace? | 04:31 |
| sacarlson | r3almode: small only changed my index.html file as I had index.php and my apache read the html first. all other files couldn't be changed | 04:31 |

| joephilly | I run a linode ubuntu server and I am trying to install vagrant which has a dependency on virtualbox. I can't get the dang thing to work.... VirtualBox is complaining that the installation is incomplete | 04:33 |

| r3almode | joephilly, I really am captivated by the whole virtualized machine arena. I lived with a senior member of the VMware dev-team in a place called Fort Collins Colorado.... he was responsible for helping acheive hardware acceleration on the VM's graphics adapter.... which is also virtualized.... sigh | 04:35 |
| Doogie44 | k np | 04:35 |
| r3almode | anyway my point is this | 04:35 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: I guess a read of raw data from the disk would be sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/you/tmp.dat bs=512 count=1 | 04:35 |
| r3almode | virtualization has got me burned more than once | 04:36 |
| Doogie44 | so uh what is the read command mentioned | 04:36 |
| joephilly | r3almode, the only reason i'm using it is because installing graphite+statsd is a huge pain in the ass and I figured installing a vm with it already set up would be easier... its not easier so far | 04:36 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: note you will have to change /home/you/tmp.dat to a real user name | 04:36 |
| r3almode | no free lunch | 04:36 |
| joephilly | r3almode, its not for production use. Just testing stuff | 04:36 |
| r3almode | but I do understand | 04:36 |
| r3almode | I would probably be doing the same thing | 04:37 |
| joephilly | I think im going to try docker instead | 04:37 |
| Doogie44 | think I got that | 04:37 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: so it reads but can't write? | 04:37 |
| r3almode | I thought I knew a couple things about I.T. and what-not... till I lived in Fort Collins w. my friend... this dude flashed the firmware on his microwave so the buttons wouldnt beep late at night when I got the uhh munchies | 04:38 |
| r3almode | a true wizard | 04:38 |
| joephilly | haha | 04:38 |
| r3almode | find out this cat can read hexadecimal..... but keeps it secret.... | 04:39 |
| r3almode | :D | 04:39 |
| joephilly | r3almode, how high are you right now? jk :D | 04:39 |
| joephilly | winniaa is spamming me | 04:39 |
| sacarlson | r3almode: I can still remember that 20 is a space in hex | 04:39 |
| r3almode | just a bit tired.... I have a client whose webserver keeps getting turned into a proxy | 04:39 |
| r3almode | its quite odd really.... not so odd as to take over administrating the server or anything.... but yeah he's getting webscraped and SQL tables vomitting up all kinds of stuff it shouldnt | 04:40 |

| r3almode | and aint even know it | 04:42 |

| r3almode | I would go with something totally off the wall | 04:42 |

| ubottu | Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org | 04:42 |
| r3almode | it forces redundancy | 04:42 |
| sacarlson | smacktalk: any version of linux is good for kids, it's the apps you select for them that's important | 04:43 |
| Toggi3 | edubuntu still exists? Surprised | 04:43 |

| r3almode | el oh el less than three | 04:44 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: so we can't read or write. so maybe it's an interface problem. try take the disk out of the usb case and hook in it direct over sata or ide what ever it has | 04:44 |
| r3almode | i wouldnt | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: I've had bad usb interfaces before where the disk is fine | 04:45 |
| r3almode | the boot loader resides as firmware on a small controller card | 04:45 |
| r3almode | in the SLED | 04:45 |
| r3almode | err... the case or whatever | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | r3almode: it's just a hardware interface, the disk is still a disk | 04:46 |
| r3almode | sacarlson, showurite | 04:46 |
| Doogie44 | I just am baffled that I ubuntu can see the drive under certain commands but no tools what-so-ever can format it....... interesting idea... we do all know that this is a little portable drive right... If I take it out of its case there will be no connectors at all I imagine | 04:46 |
| r3almode | Doogie44, clearly there is a non-standard interface to those diskeses | 04:46 |
| ObrienDave | Doogie44, probably a sata drive | 04:46 |
| ybon | sacarlson: around? | 04:47 |
| sacarlson | ybon: yup | 04:47 |
| Doogie44 | I believe so | 04:47 |
| ybon | cool :) | 04:47 |
| r3almode | put it in a Windows machine and that guy will fire right up. | 04:47 |
| Doogie44 | nope done that | 04:47 |
| r3almode | as in plug it into a usb port of a machine running you kow that os | 04:47 |
| r3almode | it sounded good | 04:48 |
| r3almode | ^_^ | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: my old usb disk was an ide interface that required a micro ide to normal size ide adapter to hook it direct to my desktop computer | 04:48 |
| Doogie44 | even tried the mini windows in hiren's boot disk | 04:48 |
| ObrienDave | Doogie44, more than likely it's a 2.5" laptop sata drive with hardware encryption | 04:48 |
| ybon | sacarlson: so I've run the fsck with -y, and it finished, but now when I mount sda1 I see only boot and lost+found, does that mean that data has been throwed over board you think? | 04:48 |
| Doogie44 | for sure 2.5 | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: otherwise it could be the usb3.0 problem. try another usb port that might be usb2.0 or force the usb3.0 to be usb 2.0 in bios | 04:49 |
| r3almode | ObrienDave, I can vouch for the IBM-styled disk lock. methinks theres more to that controller card than a driver loader | 04:49 |
| ObrienDave | what brand? | 04:49 |
| r3almode | Passport is the model | 04:49 |
| r3almode | and the company is WD | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | ybon: ya sounds like the data is lost. nothing you can't replace I hope | 04:49 |
| r3almode | but theres more to it than that. There have been quite a few variants of the WD Passport | 04:50 |
| Doogie44 | but it used to work... I think I screwed up the logical drive or my boy reformatted it to ext.? not sure... but it dod work once upon a time | 04:50 |
| ObrienDave | yup, that card encrypts that drive. | 04:50 |
| ybon | sacarlson: a bit sadly, but I think that the game was lost from the beginning | 04:50 |
| r3almode | All varying slightly in their degrees of harlotry and non-usability | 04:50 |
| ybon | sacarlson: so thanks anyway :) | 04:50 |
| Doogie44 | this is older comp no 3.0 on it | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: ok cross that one out then | 04:51 |
| r3almode | Doogie44, you are at a stable Linux install trying to get this drive to function? | 04:51 |
| Doogie44 | yup | 04:51 |
| Doogie44 | fresh install of ubuntu 14.? lts | 04:51 |
| ObrienDave | the drive is encrypted by that card. will not be readable anywhere else. you can take the drive out and reformat it | 04:51 |
| r3almode | dmesg output and also dmidecode output pastebin stat :P | 04:51 |
| r3almode | ObrienDave, just hit the ole nail on the ole .... you know right there on the end of that guy | 04:52 |

| r3almode | Doogie44, was the Passport Drive connected via USB cable to your machine at the time you entered the dmidecode command? | 04:59 |
| r3almode | just trying to be thorough an all | 04:59 |
| r3almode | *giggle* | 04:59 |
| Doogie44 | yup and led is flashing away | 04:59 |
| r3almode | kk | 04:59 |

| r3almode | Doogie44, you see where the problem is? | 05:01 |
| r3almode | are you seeing | 05:01 |
| r3almode | what im saying | 05:01 |
| r3almode | :) | 05:01 |
| Doogie44 | sacarlson... saw that b4 what is internal target failure | 05:02 |
| r3almode | lets find out what Sense Key hardware error is | 05:02 |
| Myrth | hi, i do-release-upgrade and grub-pc is asking to reconfigure boot devices. i have /dev/xvda and /dev/xvda1 - which one should i select? thanks | 05:02 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: I don't know but it sounds broken to me. I would bypass the interface to determine point of failure | 05:03 |
| Doogie44 | lol I have been googling stuff for hours..... now it is just a matter or principal.... I wanna win hehehehe | 05:03 |
| cfhowlett | Myrth, grub is typically placed on the main boot drive device; /dev/sda .... | 05:03 |
| r3almode | Doogie44, you sir are fighting the good fight | 05:03 |
| Doogie44 | bypass interface? | 05:03 |
| r3almode | or at least it sounds good | 05:03 |
| r3almode | which is often even more important | 05:03 |
| r3almode | and Doogie44 what about that dmesg output | 05:04 |
| ObrienDave | oooooo, new OP ;P | 05:04 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: bypass the usb interface and go direct to the sata or ide of the disk itself | 05:04 |
| r3almode | did i just get shot at? | 05:04 |
| * r3almode looks over like neo | 05:04 | |
| r3almode | ....i moved like they did | 05:04 |
| Doogie44 | r3almode http://paste.ubuntu.com/8572111/ | 05:05 |
| r3almode | copy that guy brb | 05:05 |
| Myrth | cfhowlett: thanks. i just don't want to break cloud server.. | 05:05 |
| Doogie44 | understand the idea... but not how to | 05:05 |
| cfhowlett | Myrth, ask in #ubuntu-server? They'll know more than I | 05:05 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: you would need the $2 adapter to try it | 05:06 |
| Doogie44 | ahh which adapter I will get it | 05:07 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: as I had people ask me to recover data from broken laptops I already had one | 05:07 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: that depends on the interface of the drive inside, there are two posibilites | 05:07 |
| Doogie44 | always been able to recover via live cd boot... but not this time | 05:08 |
| sacarlson | Doogie44: I thought this was a device failure not a system failure | 05:09 |
| r3almode | Doogie44, I have a fairly verbose example of outright drive component failure. While some of the output lines you and I read are similar, I still am not convinced your drive has failed mechanically | 05:11 |
| r3almode | here is a link in pm to an article I just grokked | 05:11 |
| ObrienDave | more than likely a controller failure | 05:11 |
| Doogie44 | agreed I don't think so either | 05:11 |

| nusr | hi i have to connect to an ubuntu server using a ssh client like putty. how can i connect to that server with 14.04 desktop? | 05:18 |
| cfhowlett | !server | nusr | 05:19 |
| ubottu | nusr: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| nusr | is there a putty equivalent for ubuntu (of course there is). what is it called? or do i do everything from the terminal (SSH) | 05:20 |
| Doogie44 | all right... well I will muster on... my thanks to all for their input | 05:21 |
| sacarlson | nusr: you can use caja or nautilus to move files over ssh | 05:21 |
| === Termana is now known as Guest50419 | ||
| nusr | sacarlson: thanks. i'll check that out | 05:22 |
| sacarlson | nusr: gui filemanagers that you can drag and drop | 05:22 |
| nusr | sacarlson: i'm goolging it now and there is a putty for linux (but not on the putty website itself- just checked). i want to try and not use gui | 05:23 |
| sacarlson | nusr: oh you can also right click and edit files and save over ssh with caja | 05:23 |
| nusr | sacarlson: i'll definitely look into caja and compare with putty | 05:24 |
| sacarlson | nusr: I have minimal experience with putty but I think it had gui file managment | 05:24 |
| nusr | sacarlson: thank you so much. i'll try all 3 | 05:25 |

| newbhelp | anyone here? | 06:00 |
| fxdx | newbhelp ping admin | 06:00 |
| newbhelp | why would i do that? | 06:01 |
| fxdx | if you need help dude | 06:01 |
| rww | don't ping admin if you have help, just ask your actual question | 06:02 |
| rww | need help ** | 06:02 |
| fxdx | oh crap this is ubuntu, had forgotten | 06:02 |
| fancyfetus | hey guys | 06:02 |
| newbhelp | ok well i had a razor deathadder mouse, and it died, so i bought a new one razor deathadder 2013. I already had the razer tool installed but it did not recognise my new mouse because it was out of the date but the new tool does have what i need. | 06:03 |
| newbhelp | how do i update my old one to the new one? | 06:03 |
| fancyfetus | I'm not 100% sure if I can use graphics switching on my laptop with the latest version of ubuntu. | 06:03 |
| fancyfetus | I have an AMD Radeon 6400M | 06:03 |
| Asrael | If someone's available to help, I'm using 14.04 LTS and am having what seems to be a gfx driver crash after the last update. Can't get past splash. | 06:03 |
| fxdx | rww can answer that... he is a geek :P | 06:03 |
| fancyfetus | The default Xorg drivers seem to only use the integrated card, but I'd like to be able to switch between them. | 06:03 |
| newbhelp | just to clarify i am using this tool http://bues.ch/cms/hacking/razercfg.html | 06:04 |
| newbhelp | i have version 20 there is a newer version 30 | 06:04 |
| maxis11_ | <fancyfetus> I use DRI_PRIME var to run on dGPU. For example: DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears | 06:06 |
| newbhelp | no one? | 06:06 |
| fancyfetus | maxis11_, I didn't quite get that. | 06:07 |
| sickblobs | fancyfetus, I got him, he is using the Discrete GPU by DRI_PRIME=1 command | 06:08 |
| sickblobs | it would ask the dGPU to do the rendering and the INtel HD graphics to display the result | 06:08 |
| fancyfetus | Is this using the open source XORG drivers? | 06:09 |
| sickblobs | maxis11_, which GPU ? | 06:09 |
| fancyfetus | or proprietary ones? | 06:09 |
| sickblobs | the ones he has installed | 06:09 |
| sickblobs | maxis11_, DRM_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" | 06:09 |
| sickblobs | what is the output ? | 06:09 |

| fancyfetus | When I used fglrx, aticonfig found no drivers. | 06:12 |
| fancyfetus | I couldn't run catalyst | 06:12 |
| sickblobs | maxis11_, Does linux support automatically graphics switching ? | 06:12 |
| sickblobs | or do not yet | 06:12 |
| sickblobs | and hence we have to do DRI_PRIME=1 <app> | 06:13 |
| sickblobs | everytime ? | 06:13 |
| maxis11_ | you can use /etc/environment or ~/.bashrc. BTW new kernels (3.13 and later) enables radeon.runpm by default, so try to upgrade your kernel | 06:15 |

| oleole | Is it possible to change the priority of network devices? I have a PCI-E WiFi card on that is connected to a WiFi network. But when I insert my USB 3G modem/dongle (mobile broadband), I would like it to take over instead of the WiFi connection | 06:58 |
| oleole | So my priority is: 1) 3G, 2) LAN, 3) WiFI | 06:58 |
| oleole | (it’s due to some firewall issues on the public hotspot I’m on) | 06:58 |
| ObrienDave | not sure but easy enough to click off the wifi | 06:59 |
| Sachiru | @oleole: Firewall/Proxy/Traffic Shaper? Tor. | 07:00 |
| oleole | Sachiru: Haha no - it’s not about Tor :) | 07:00 |
| oleole | ObrienDave: Yeah, it’s an easy solution. But I would have loved to do it automatically | 07:00 |
| oleole | Can I disable wifi from the command line? | 07:01 |
| Sachiru | No, what I mean is | 07:01 |
| Sachiru | If it's a firewall issue on a public hotspot, turn on Tor | 07:01 |
| Sachiru | Problem (usually) solved | 07:01 |
| oleole | Ahh, okay… But it’s not exactly what I want :) | 07:03 |
| oleole | But thanks anyways | 07:03 |
| somsip | oleole: try looking into ifdown wlan0 as a way to disable the wireless via cli. You might be able to come up with something to detect when 3g is inserted and ifdown wlan0 automatically, and to ifup wlan0 when the 3g is removed | 07:04 |

| jeaye | I've just installed Ubuntu 14.04 server on a Mac Mini and I want to ensure that grub is functioning correctly. If I drop to a shell, chroot into /target, and run efibootmgr, it doesn't see that efivars is setup. Manually probing efivars doesn't error, but doesn't help. | 07:05 |
| jeaye | Suggestions? | 07:06 |
| peepsalot | is it possible to increase my file limit, i'm getting 'too many open files' errors | 07:10 |
| jeaye | ulimit | 07:10 |
| somsip | peepsalot: man ulimit | 07:10 |
| peepsalot | root@peeps-ThinkPad-W510:/home/peeps# ulimit -Hn unlimited | 07:11 |
| peepsalot | bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted | 07:11 |
| somsip | peepsalot: sudo | 07:11 |
| peepsalot | somsip, that was already in sudo su session | 07:12 |
| peepsalot | root@peeps-ThinkPad-W510:/home/peeps# sudo ulimit -Hn unlimited | 07:12 |
| peepsalot | sudo: ulimit: command not found | 07:12 |
| jeaye | peepsalot: Log in as root | 07:12 |
| jeaye | As in, a proper login shell (not sudo) | 07:12 |
| somsip | peepsalot: sudo su is not a good idea. Nor is logging in as root. Log in as a normal user and set it using sudo unlimit | 07:12 |
| peepsalot | somsip, set it using what now? | 07:14 |
| somsip | peepsalot: sudo ulimit - previous typo | 07:14 |
| peepsalot | when i use sudo it does not recognize the ulimit command | 07:14 |
| peepsalot | sudo: ulimit: command not found | 07:14 |
| somsip | peepsalot: what user are you logged in as? Have you su or sudo su after that? | 07:15 |
| peepsalot | i tried both ways | 07:15 |
| Asrael | If anyone's available, I need some help, I'm using 14.04 LTS and am having what seems to be a gfx driver crash after the last update. Can't get past splash, and there's no useful error messages. I'm able to login if I do xforcevesa nomodeset, but can't get anything GUI to run. | 07:15 |
| peepsalot | doesn't make a difference | 07:15 |
| peepsalot | what's wrong with sudo su | 07:16 |
| somsip | peepsalot: beg pardon - ulimit works on a per user basis, so sudo not needed at all http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21515463/how-to-increase-maximum-file-open-limit-ulimit-in-ubuntu | 07:17 |
| somsip | peepsalot: on other question re sudo http://askubuntu.com/questions/376199/sudo-su-vs-sudo-i-vs-sudo-bin-bash-when-does-it-matter-which-is-used | 07:17 |
| somsip | peepsalot: short answer, sudo su does not setup the root user environment correctly. sudo -i or sudo su - will | 07:19 |
| sudoroomie | I can't figure out how to run a GUI program as a user without sudo privileges. sux is no longer in the Trusty repository. I don't want to add this user to the sudo or admin group, but occasionally would like to run programs like gnome-disks from that account.. | 07:22 |
| somsip | !gksudo | sudoroomie | 07:22 |
| ubottu | sudoroomie: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:22 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: hmmm.that's not what you meant is it? | 07:22 |
| Lumbendil | hi | 07:23 |
| sudoroomie | Right, but the problem is that even that gives me xhost: unable to open display ":0.0" | 07:23 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: does the user has a valid X display running? | 07:23 |
| sudoroomie | Yes, and I've tried to cop .Xauthority to /root, but still can't run a GUI program. | 07:24 |
| sudoroomie | cop/copy | 07:24 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: Can you start the explanation again. You have a normal user and you want to run some GUI programs as root. Is that right? | 07:25 |
| sudoroomie | Correct, and the normal user is not in the sudo group. | 07:25 |
| sudoroomie | And I don't want to add the user to the sudo group or mess around with visudo | 07:25 |
| sudoroomie | I would like to use a regular root password which I created with "# passwd" | 07:26 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: then they don't have permissions to run those programs as root. So they can't. You either fix it properly with sudoers, or those users don't have access to those programs as root | 07:26 |
| XforceVesa | Hi | 07:26 |
| sudoroomie | But I don't have Xauthority | 07:26 |
| sacarlson | sudoroomie: you can setup any user restricted access to only commands that you think they will need with or without a password with sudo setup | 07:27 |
| sudoroomie | Well, that didn't used to be the case. You could install a program called sux and then from the terminal just use "sux" instead of "sudo -i" | 07:27 |
| === llakey_ is now known as llakey | ||
| sudoroomie | And it would transfer Xauthority. | 07:28 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: perhaps you're thinking of 'sudo sux' as command line options? | 07:28 |
| somsip | sudoroomie: no ignore that. Hit enter too quick | 07:28 |
| sudoroomie | I guess I could use X forwarding if I had to. | 07:31 |
| Lumbendil | On a laptop I have only one language configured (es) for the keyboard, but when it starts up, even though it's highlighted as if it was selected, the keyboard layout is us. I tried dpkg-reconfigure but it didn't persist the changes through a reboot.

| Lucax | anyone aquaninted with samba here? | 08:00 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: some | 08:00 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: at one point it was as easy as just right click the dir in nautilus and pick share | 08:01 |
| Lucax | is it still that easy? | 08:01 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: it's been some time since I've used it. now I just use ssh to file share in caja or nautilus | 08:02 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: as I already have ssh setup and I have no restrictions as to where I can look or modify files with ssh | 08:03 |
| maum | hello | 08:07 |
| maum | I have trouble. I installed ubuntu 14.04.1 version in parallels and black screen appears after login | 08:08 |
| maum | how can I fix this problem? | 08:08 |
| Lucax | is ssh a program or something existing by default (I have ubuntu Unity) | 08:08 |
| ikonia | it's a package that's installed by default, yes | 08:08 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: ssh client is installed by default on ubuntu, the server side is optional with just sudo apt-get install ssh ; will install the server also | 08:09 |
| maum | does anyone know about this issue? | 08:09 |
| maum | please help me | 08:10 |
| maum | I am waiting for someone's help | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | maum: I assume it's a video driver problem, maybe you can try propraitary drivers or if already using them try remove them | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | maum: strange you have any video at all if you can still see the login screen at boot | 08:11 |
| maum | sacarlson: thank you for your comment but I am using mac pro | 08:13 |
| Lucax | so ssh is an active part of ubuntu or do I have to install it? | 08:13 |
| Lucax | I can not find anything called ssh | 08:13 |
| sacarlson | maum: all the more reason for video problem but with mac it could be other problems I've never had to deal with | 08:14 |
| Lucax | I find SSHFP.py only | 08:14 |
| maum | sacarlson: ok. thank you | 08:14 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: you don't see ssh in repo? | 08:14 |
| Lucax | what is repo? | 08:14 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: the stuf you see in synaptic | 08:15 |
| ikonia | that Lucax it's where the software for ubuntu is stored for you to download | 08:15 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: or just in a term sudo apt-get install ssh | 08:15 |
| ikonia | Lucax: do you want an ssh server ? | 08:15 |
| Lucax | I installed one allready, I just ran the commando but since I am quite a beginner a little walkthrough I believe | 08:16 |
| ikonia | Lucax: what command did you use ? | 08:16 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: after you have a server client set you can use nautilus to connect to a server, pick ssh and enter the ip of the server side. after the conection asks for passwords you can save them and make a bookmark for the next time | 08:17 |
| maum | sacarlson: I found same issue ==> http://askubuntu.com/questions/529124/ubuntu-14-04-lts-under-parallels-graphic-distortion-after-update | 08:17 |
| Lucax | ok, then what is nautilus will be my next question | 08:17 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: nautilus is the default filemanager that you can drag and drop files and diretories | 08:18 |
| Lucax | aha, that's sounds quite easy | 08:18 |
| sacarlson | Lucax: it's the same program you would probly use for samba also | 08:21 |
| Lucax | I see | 08:21 |
| sacarlson | maum: looks like there solution was echo "xserver-xorg-video-intel hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "xserver-common hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections ; so I assume from that the the new software is broken and the old was working | 08:22 |
| Lucax | the problem is that I am so new to linux and dont understand all the terms and so on. like when you say pick ssh I think: how can I pick ssh? | 08:22 |
| maum | sacarlson: I did like that but same problem | 08:22 |
| sacarlson | maum: mybe those packages have new ppa candidates to fix them? | 08:23 |
| Lucax | I installed the ssh server like you said with the sudo apt get command, so now I can pick ssh and enter the ip? how? | 08:23 |
| maum | sacarlson: I don't know but the same problem exists after reboot | 08:24 |
| sacarlson | lucax: it take me time to find nice pics http://askubuntu.com/questions/34768/where-is-connect-to-server-for-ssh-connections-in-unity | 08:26 |
| chalcedony | Lucax boy i understand you | 08:26 |
| chalcedony | i just use command line or putty | 08:26 |
| sacarlson | http://askubuntu.com/questions/34768/where-is-connect-to-server-for-ssh-connections-in-unity Lucax | 08:27 |
| Lucax | would this be a way to share between one windows and one linux computer? | 08:28 |
| sacarlson | windows has putty that can share the same as nautilus | 08:28 |
| Lucax | I am looking for a way to share in a local network regardless of OS, I live in a community where we have them all, mac, windows & linux | 08:29 |
| Lucax | ok | 08:29 |
| Ben64 | uh.. putty and nautilus are not the same | 08:29 |
| Lucax | nice | 08:29 |
| Lucax | thanks | 08:29 |

| ShrewdSpirit | I've a problem with virtualbox. I have edited fstab so partitions are mounted on startup. but virtualbox cannot find the vdi files from my partition. I add them manually but it says cannot register it | 08:52 |
| Darq_ | what does lubuntu have? you mean lxde? | 08:52 |
| Darq_ | isn't it the same like using mate? | 08:53 |
| sacarlson | ShrewdSpirit: I would think if you add a vdi disk you should be able to mount it like with nautilus in /media | 08:53 |
| sacarlson | ShrewdSpirit: try it that way before you try modifiy fstab | 08:54 |
| sacarlson | ShrewdSpirit: oh or is that what you plan to boot from? | 08:54 |
| ShrewdSpirit | No, I dont wanna mount the vdi file. I just wanna add it to virtualbox to load the OS but when I add it it says: | 08:54 |
| ShrewdSpirit | Cannot register the hard disk '/media/filesPartition/VirtualMachine/win7_.vdi' {ac23487e-91aa-47e6-8859-2b84404ef27c} because a hard disk '/media/shrewdspirit/01CFDBD5544097B0/VirtualMachine/win7.vdi' with UUID {ac23487e-91aa-47e6-8859-2b84404ef27c} already exists. | 08:54 |
| sacarlson | ShrewdSpirit: oh ya that's a problem you should never have two uuid that match | 08:55 |
| sacarlson | ShrewdSpirit: I guess you will have to modify the one you boot from first before you mount this new one | 08:56 |
| ShrewdSpirit | sacarlson, the file path of prev. vdi file has been changed. it doesnt exist anymore there | 08:57 |
| geirha | ShrewdSpirit: It just means it's already added, now you just add it to the other VM | 08:57 |
| ShrewdSpirit | you mean make another VM with same configuration and vdi partition? | 08:57 |
| geirha | Ah sorry, didn't notice the path was different | 08:58 |

| geirha | ShrewdSpirit: I'd consider asking in #vbox There's probably some magic VBoxManage command you can use to rename the path | 08:59 |
| sacarlson | howlymowly: get smaller usb sticks | 08:59 |
| ShrewdSpirit | okay geirha I will ask my question there. sacarlson you mean changing UUID of vdi or the whole partition? | 09:00 |

| Daghdha | Hi, what is this and should i be worried: no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory | 09:14 |
| Daghdha | leaking sounds pretty bad | 09:14 |
| Daghdha | i only have 8Gb, i don't wanna lose it | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: depends what you are doing | 09:15 |
| Daghdha | sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep 'Filesystem created:' | 09:15 |
| Daghdha | i did that | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: or what application is calling that | 09:15 |

| XforceVesa | . | 09:17 |
| Daghdha | sudo causes it it seams | 09:17 |
| Daghdha | seems | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: run sudo -i then test it | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: it's not "eating" memory | 09:17 |
| EriC^^ | sujata: go to settings > text entry > press on "+" > add Indian | 09:17 |
| Daghdha | or samba, hmm https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8449 | 09:18 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.samba.org bug 8449 in libsmbclient "simple use case results in "no talloc stackframe around, leaking memory" error" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 09:18 |
| Daghdha | Is SAMBA integral part of ubuntu? As in; does it get automatically updated? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: it's a package set installed by default on the desktop | 09:19 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: I don't see why samba has anything to do with the error you jsut posted | 09:19 |
| kalyani | I want to enter telugu words in english it should automatically convert into telugu words like working with indic tool in windows | 09:20 |
| sujata | Eric: i got it but i should know the indian language keyboard | 09:20 |
| EriC^^ | Daghdha: there's a solution in post #14 here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1257186 | 09:20 |

| sacarlson | ikonia: Daghdha: I don't know if it's related but it was the first hit I saw with the solution being sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Daghdha: run the test I suggested | 09:21 |
| sujata | so how can i get the indian words by typing the english word? | 09:21 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: seems to do with libpam-smbpass | 09:21 |
| ikonia | running the test will guide toward/against that | 09:21 |
| EriC^^ | sujata: ah i see | 09:22 |
| Daghdha | Is anyone aware of a ctrl + key to disable borders on terminal windows? I seem to have accidently hit that and my terminal has no border anymore at left right and bottom | 09:23 |
| sujata | Eric : As we have worked in windows there we have install indic tool which help me to type indian word in english which gives me the particular language word for example i tried with marathi language | 09:24 |

| dxtr_ | Yes I do Varunendra | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | dxtr_: maybe like iwconfig eth0 essid "nameofyouracpoint"; just to see if we can try to connect to it | 11:18 |
| jalal | can any one tell me how to downgrade os? | 11:18 |
| dxtr_ | How to duagnostics report of wifi ? | 11:18 |
| jalal | i want to downgrade to 12.04 | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | dxtr_: opps iwconfig wlan0 essid "nameacpoint" | 11:19 |
| jalal | latest update did mess up | 11:19 |
| varunendra | dxtr_, please try the script in this post to generate the report. Post back its pastebin link here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=13024222 | 11:19 |

| jalal | i am not getting gui | 11:19 |
| jalal | only low graphic mode error and login to cli | 11:19 |
| jalal | <DJones> | 11:20 |

| sacarlson | dxtr_: oh now the software block is active | 11:22 |
| bazhang | jalal, tell us the exact card, and the driver | 11:22 |
| varunendra | dxtr_, the "NetworkManager.state" shows "WirelessEnabled=false". Is it enabled from the NM menu (has a tick mark beside it)? | 11:22 |
| jalal | ATI | 11:22 |
| bazhang | jalal, simply repeating wont get any help | 11:23 |
| bazhang | jalal, there are many many ati cards | 11:23 |
| dxtr_ | It is off now , i made it off after getting tired of trying | 11:23 |
| dxtr_ | should i run the script again and make it on ? | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | dxtr_: ya try that | 11:24 |
| varunendra | dxtr_, obviously we need to see the stats while you are trying to make it work and it doesn't :) | 11:24 |
| jeremy31 | looks like TKIP being used also | 11:24 |
| dxtr_ | Okk 1 min please :) | 11:24 |
| bazhang | jalal, tell us the exact card, which driver you installed and from where, whether that card is old or new, is it still supported or not, version of ubuntu etc,all on ONE line | 11:25 |
| dxtr_ | varunendra , sacarlson : http://pastebin.com/m2hy4fwj | 11:25 |
| jalal | <bazhang> i did not install anything..i install 12.04 long time ago... today i updated then after that everything mess up | 11:25 |
| dxtr_ | <varunendra> http://pastebin.com/m2hy4fwj | 11:26 |
| bazhang | jalal, you are not giving any of the info I asked for | 11:26 |
| jalal | how to find card and driver info? | 11:26 |
| varunendra | dxtr_, please try - "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off". Then check - "iwconfig" to make sure "Power Management" appears to be "off". | 11:26 |
| bazhang | jalal, I need all of that info, all on one line | 11:26 |
| jalal | <bazhang> any command for get card and drver name? | 11:27 |
| dxtr_ | yes it does | 11:27 |
| dxtr_ | Power Management:off | 11:27 |
| bazhang | jalal, lspci in the terminal, put in a pastebin, do not paste in the channel | 11:28 |
| jalal | <bazhang> card is ATI Mobility radeon | 11:28 |
| bazhang | jalal, which one, give us the pastebin | 11:28 |
| minimec | jalal: My guess is, that you were using the fglrx driver for your GPu in 12.04, and your card is no longer supported with fglrx in 14.04. And that might not even be that bad... ;) I would check with 'ls /etc/X11/xorg*' whether you have a xorg.conf file. If you have one, I would try to rename it with 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' and then reboot. If you are lucky, you get your GUI back... | 11:29 |
| dxtr_ | varunendra : i will be back in 10 minutes , can yu please stay with me | 11:29 |
| varunendra | dxtr_, can you connect now? Could you connect it earlier with Ethernet connection on? NM prefers Ethernet and may not attempt a wifi connection if the cable connection is detected. | 11:29 |
| jalal | <bazhang> i am not able to pastebin ..i am not at pshycle machine | 11:29 |
| bazhang | jalal, we need that info | 11:30 |
| jalal | <minimec> yes i am using fglrx | 11:30 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: I never thought of that due to eth0 would disable wifi. I don't see anything wrong with wifi other than I never see it assosiate | 11:31 |

| === michael is now known as Guest92273 | ||
| varunendra | jeremy31, pleased to see you here. I hope I can take a quick break now. :) | 11:34 |
| jeremy31 | varunendra: about time for me to go to work | 11:35 |
| setre | how can I make my super_l key a control key on Ubuntu 14.04? | 11:35 |
| varunendra | No problem jeremy31 :). dxtr_'s AP's are both using non-recommended encryption by the way. I just want to try one thing at a time. | 11:35 |
| varunendra | sacarlson, not only NM, some BIOS even tend to disable the wifi interface if a cable connection is detected. | 11:36 |
| jeremy31 | time to go | 11:37 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: yes I verified flat9 is wep so maybe we can connect with command line then | 11:37 |
| e_Dregon | why can't see anyone in other channel> | 11:37 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: iwconfig supports or did support wep | 11:38 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: I don't recall how to use suplicant on command line | 11:38 |
| Lumbendil | hi, I'm having an issue on a ubuntu 14.04 installation on a laptop. I have only one keyboard configuration defined, "es", but on reboot it's always "us", even though the language bar shows "es". When selecting "es" from the language bar, even though it's already selected, it does indeed switch. | 11:38 |
| Lumbendil | I've tried using dpkg-reconfigure to set the keyboard config, but it didn't persist on reboot | 11:39 |
| varunendra | sacarlson, every network manager I know of supports WEP. It is just not recommended anymore for two big reasons - 1) it is insecure, 2) It is inefficient (may cause speed or connectivity issues). | 11:39 |
| setre | damn it would be nice if keys could be rebound from the keyboard layout chart | 11:40 |
| setre | or similar | 11:40 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: but the good part is that we can use the command line to try connect sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "flat9" key xxxxxxxxxx | 11:41 |
| minimec | Lumbendil: Can you check '/etc/default/keyboard' and maybe adjust the "XKBLAYOUT" to your needs. | 11:41 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: if that fails then ??? | 11:41 |
| varunendra | sacarlson, I don't know the exact command, but I believe that is also doable with WPA or WPA2. Probably it takes wpa_supplicant to work. | 11:42 |
| Lumbendil | minimec: it's set as "es" | 11:42 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: ya but we don't need supplicant for wep | 11:42 |
| Lumbendil | restarting to check | 11:43 |
| Lumbendil | rebooting* | 11:43 |
| minimec | Lumbendil: Ok. So that's ok. Now in the GUI environment, go to the keyboard settings, set es as default and remove the US one. I have to do that too with my CH layout. | 11:43 |
| Lumbendil | minimec: I already removed the US layout | 11:43 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: I"m not sure but even if the key is wrong it would or should still assosieate to the ac point | 11:44 |
| Lumbendil | minimec: I don't see the option to set as default though | 11:44 |
| minimec | Lumbendil: Hmm... strange. After that procedure I normally ok with the layout.... | 11:45 |
| Lumbendil | minimec: I added us back, going to try rebooting/checking/removing us | 11:46 |
| varunendra | sacarlson, perhaps, but only for a few seconds. The "Authentication" stage comes immediately after "association", and it'll fail with wrong key. | 11:46 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: oh ok | 11:46 |
| varunendra | sacarlson, dxtr_ need to go afk, should be back in 10-15 minutes. | 11:47 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: so maybe that's what's wrong he has the wrong key now programed. have her reenter the key | 11:47 |
| Lumbendil | minimec: how do you define one as default? by being at the top of the list? | 11:47 |
| sacarlson | varunendra: ok seeya | 11:47 |

| vitimiti | Hi | 11:51 |
| minimec | jalal: ok. Do you have a second user to test, or could you ance add a new user and login. Maybe your user session config files are not working with the new unity version... | 11:52 |

| jalal | <minimec> is this permament fix? or i have to do anything for testing? | 11:53 |
| minimec | jalal: fglrx needs a xorg.conf. Without xorg.conf the Xserver is using the opensource driver 'radeon' (in your case). So the solution should be permanent. You can even 'sudo apt-get purge fglrx*' to remove the fglrx packages. | 11:55 |

| mjayk-lap | facepalm: im always impressed by the hardware support so much improvement compared to 10 years ago, thanks for the reply | 12:08 |
| facepalm | mjayk-lap, I totally agree, you're welcome. | 12:08 |
| newhoa | facepalm, yes, made a script: | 12:10 |
| newhoa | #!/bin/bash | 12:10 |
| newhoa | vblank_mode=0 java -jar /home/USER/Minecraft.jar | 12:10 |
| newhoa | pointed the launcher to the script. Works great. | 12:10 |
| facepalm | newhoa, I'm surprised you had to go through that. | 12:10 |
| facepalm | It's good that it works however. | 12:10 |
| newhoa | facepalm: Yeah, I don't know why... Exec= should be the same as entering it into terminal shouldn't it? Maybe I've missed the way launchers work. | 12:11 |
| zetheroo | anyone know what I can do to get Ubuntu to extend my display to my second screen? | 12:12 |
| sacarlson | zetheroo: that seems to be default for me the secound screen when pluged in becomes another view window | 12:13 |
| sacarlson | zetheroo: in the display gui you can set it to miror or not | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | sacarlson: I found this - it seems Linux is lacking driver support for this hardware http://askubuntu.com/questions/473610/thinkpad-w540-w-ultra-dock-only-one-external-monitor-works | 12:13 |
| facepalm | newhoa, I'm looking into it. | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | zetheroo: you sure? did you see at >preferences>monitors ? | 12:16 |
| facepalm | newhoa, did you try vblank_mode=0 /location/minecraft.jar *w/o java -jar* | 12:18 |
| sacarlson | zetheroo: oh so you see nothing on the output of the laptop video? I recall I had to reboot the computer with the monitor pluged in to be active | 12:18 |
| jkbbwr | This is pissing me off so much | 12:23 |
| facepalm | jkbbwr, What's wrong? | 12:23 |
| jkbbwr | facepalm: I have never had a single nvidia card just *work* with linux | 12:23 |
| jkbbwr | its bloody annoying | 12:23 |
| zetheroo | sacarlson: I fixed it - one screen has to be plugged into the laptop and the other in the dock | 12:24 |
| mjayk-lap | jkbbwr: im surprised i tend to find ati to be one of my biggest problems; what things do you have to do | 12:25 |
| facepalm | jkbbwr, I'm sure someone here can help you eventually if you have a question about it. | 12:25 |
| jkbbwr | facepalm: im just gonna do a complete reinstall first :/ | 12:25 |
| jkbbwr | and tehcnically im using elementary but their channel sucks | 12:25 |
| facepalm | jkbbwr, Oh.. yeah can't help there. | 12:26 |
| jkbbwr | facepalm: technically its ubuntu in a wig | 12:26 |
| jkbbwr | facepalm: so | 12:26 |
| facepalm | jkbbwr, I know, still not supported here. | 12:26 |
| jkbbwr | facepalm: im gonna cry | 12:27 |

| facepalm | unkn-error, To what? | 12:27 |
| unkn-error | to the Midnight Commander .DEB from the ubuntu official repro? | 12:27 |
| sacarlson | Zethrok_: ah see everything works | 12:27 |
| newhoa | facepalm: Didn't work without the java -jar. I'm fine with it working the way it works, it just doesn't make sense. I wouldn't worry about it except that it might be a bug, but I'm not really sure. | 12:29 |
| newhoa | Thanks very much for the help though. | 12:29 |

| facepalm | simbabad, Yes I realized I told you to be patient. I do not know the answer to your question. Can you elaborate on it? Maybe someone else will see and answer you. | 12:34 |
| jalal | <facepalm> i am facing many error when i login in sys | 12:35 |

| EriC^^ | Dovev: la | 12:35 |
| lumia900 | how good is webmin configuration for openLDAP ? | 12:35 |
| facepalm | Dovev, ls -al | 12:35 |
| simbabad | when I try to add .ovpn config file settings manager opens and closes after selecting file | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj_ | Hiyas all | 12:36 |
| Dovev | facepalm so there is no global setting where i can set hidden files to show always? | 12:36 |
| EriC^^ | Dovev: you can use la instead of ls, if you have that alias set | 12:36 |
| facepalm | Dovev, not that I know of. | 12:37 |
| Dovev | okay. Thanks :) | 12:37 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: you can run it on the command line to see how far it gets openvpn file.ovpn or something like that. maybe add the -v verbose | 12:38 |
| simbabad | sacarlson: how? | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: from a terminal | 12:46 |
| simbabad | cmd? | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: I don't know the name of your .ovpn file | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: but just openvpn config.ovpn | 12:47 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: try man openvpn | 12:47 |
| simbabad | do I need to be in the file direc? | 12:47 |
| simbabad | hmm | 12:47 |
| simbabad | ok thx | 12:47 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: you will ether need to be in the dir or provide full path name to config | 12:48 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: I think it also requires sudo openvpn | 12:48 |

| sacarlson | ddssc: one way is with top | 12:59 |
| manlin | ddssc: the other way is htop :) | 12:59 |
| MrAlex_ | hey guys | 12:59 |
| ddssc | sacarlson: I'm using htop which shows CPU 1 and 2 but lshw says there's 8 cores. which one is true? | 12:59 |
| sacarlson | ddssc: I'm not sure let me take a look at mine | 13:00 |
| ddssc | manlin: it's what Im using and its showing me different thing than what lshw is showin me | 13:00 |
| sacarlson | ddssc: cool htop I never tired it. it shows I have 4 cores that is correct with my i5 intel | 13:02 |
| Aravinth | hi | 13:03 |
| manlin | ddssc: yeah i have 8 cores and i'm trying to read through lshw output which doesn't clearly show me how many cores | 13:03 |
| hateball | manlin: use lscpu | 13:04 |
| hateball | ddssc: ^ | 13:04 |
| t1mp | hello | 13:04 |
| t1mp | why is there no mencoder package in the utopic repositories? | 13:04 |
| manlin | hateball: aaahhh.. Yeah it shows the count correctly. there are lots of ls** commands and need to get used to them. thanks :) | 13:06 |
| iptable | t1mp, utopic is still beta | 13:06 |
| sacarlson | ddssc: I don't see anything telling me how many cores I have with lshw | 13:06 |
| iptable | sacarlson, cat /proc/cpuinfo | 13:07 |
| Pici | t1mp: While normally I'd say to ask in #ubuntu+1. I'll just asnwer, it looks like mplayer is no longer being maintaned and it was dropped from debian and then from ubuntu. | 13:08 |
| manlin | ddssc: as other people here suggested, go for lscpu, htop count, cat /proc/cpuinfo | 13:08 |
| Pici | t1mp: if you want to discuss more, feel free to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 13:08 |
| ddssc | manlin: thanks, as is usually the case I was just reading it wrong. lshw shows like n cores but only first 2 are actually active | 13:10 |
| philinux | t1mp;~ mplayer is in utopic | 13:11 |
| philinux | it's been in all versions iirc | 13:12 |
| mregg | Hi all, Webmin no longer starts. If I force a reinstall, would I lose all of my settings, or should that be okay? | 13:12 |
| t1mp | ok, thanks. I'll check in #ubuntu+1. Pity if the packages are no longer in utopic | 13:12 |
| t1mp | yeah I saw that mplayer is there, but nu mencoder | 13:12 |
| iptable | t1mp, and yes. it is. http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/mplayer | 13:12 |
| iptable | oh | 13:13 |
| iptable | yes, mencoder not there. RIP mencoder | 13:13 |
| philinux | t1mp;~ yep: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+package/mencoder | 13:13 |
| t1mp | I liked mencoder | 13:13 |
| Pici | philinux: the package was deleted. | 13:14 |
| philinux | Pici;~ ah ok, back on topic then now | 13:14 |

| iptable | zetheroo, http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapter | 13:18 |
| cable | guess so ^_^! | 13:18 |
| dzragon | not dual dvi | 13:19 |
| iptable | no | 13:19 |
| zetheroo | yes dual - as in 2 normal sized displayports going out (female) | 13:19 |
| zetheroo | iptable: link no working for me | 13:20 |
| iptable | zetheroo, no? | 13:20 |
| iptable | zetheroo, what does the link say? | 13:20 |
| iptable | zetheroo, you cannot connect 2 monitors to a single monitor connections slot. hence: no | 13:20 |
| zetheroo | link is saying something in various languages | 13:21 |
| zetheroo | keep changing | 13:21 |
| iptable | welcome to apple store :D | 13:21 |
| dzragon | says "apple is updating bvlablabla" | 13:21 |
| iptable | zetheroo, if you have VID-2X DisplayPort, you can use this: http://uk.hardware.info/productinfo/178533/sapphire-vid-2x-displayport-to-dual-dvi-display-expander | 13:21 |
| ses1984 | if i have connected to a file server through the unity file browser, and i see it in the left hand pane under "network" is there any way to browse it via command line? | 13:21 |

| iptable | ses1984, yes | 13:22 |
| iptable | ses1984, you are actually visiting the directory that is shared? is that CIFS share (windows share)? | 13:22 |
| ses1984 | yes it's cifs | 13:22 |
| zetheroo | iptable: how would I know what kind of displayport I have in the laptop? | 13:22 |
| ses1984 | i know i can mount the cifs share but i was wondering if there was any way to use whatever connection has already been established through the unity browser | 13:23 |
| iptable | zetheroo, check with manufacturer | 13:23 |
| ses1984 | i thought there was something called .gvfs or whatever hidden gnome folder that linked shares you could see in the file browser...? | 13:23 |
| iptable | ses1984, you can, hold on, let me find the mount link | 13:23 |
| zetheroo | eh - it does exist ... though it's out of stock :P http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812228017 | 13:23 |
| ses1984 | i thought there was a way to do it without performing the extra mount command | 13:23 |
| iptable | ses1984, as I said, there is. WAIT!" | 13:24 |
| ses1984 | ok ok no rush :) | 13:24 |
| manlin | ses1984: gvfs | 13:24 |
| iptable | ses1984, ls /run/user/1000/gvfs | 13:25 |
| zetheroo | so the adapter exists - the next question is if it will let me extend my two monitors ... | 13:25 |

| iptable | no | 13:27 |
| iptable | it's not | 13:27 |
| zetheroo | it says here it's a splitter | 13:28 |
| iptable | some people want to hard-wire stuff and just switch whenever. That' also the way HDMI splitters work for TVs | 13:28 |

| zetheroo | Thnkpad T440p | 13:29 |
| zetheroo | Thinkpad* | 13:29 |
| ses1984 | iptable: there's nothing there...? | 13:29 |
| iptable | zetheroo, if you check the manufacturer's specifications (what you should have done beforehand), you will note the graphics card supports up to 2 monitors | 13:29 |
| ses1984 | my uid is 1000, there's no other uid folders in there | 13:30 |
| iptable | zetheroo, so, no, you cannot extend | 13:30 |
| iptable | ses1984, so you have not mounted it yet maybe. try to access a dir inside it. | 13:30 |
| ses1984 | im definitely accessing, browsing, playing media located on the drive | 13:30 |
| ses1984 | on the share i mean | 13:30 |
| iptable | ses1984, ls -a /run/user/1000/ | 13:31 |
| ses1984 | . .. | 13:31 |
| iptable | ses1984, and do it as your user. also, mount command should show gvfsd-fuse in the list | 13:32 |
| iptable | ses1984, forgot to ask, which ubuntu version? | 13:32 |
| ses1984 | im an idiot | 13:32 |
| zetheroo | iptable: I don't get it ... then why can I plug one monitor into the VGA port and the other into the mini Display port and extend them? (That is what I am doing right now) | 13:32 |
| iptable | ses1984, in ubuntu<12.10, it will be in ~/.gvfs | 13:32 |
| ses1984 | its ubuntu 14.04... im an idiot because...i DID mount the share from /etc/fstab not through the file browser | 13:32 |
| iptable | ses1984, XD. we all make mistakes :D | 13:33 |
| iptable | zetheroo, ask the manufacturer | 13:33 |
| jkbbwr | yea bollocks to this :/ | 13:33 |
| iptable | zetheroo, got a docking station? | 13:33 |
| zetheroo | iptable: yes | 13:33 |
| jrgill | I'm running the latest live CD in memory and seems all SysRq events besides sync are disabled. Any way I can recover or at least write out my unsaved data? | 13:33 |
| iptable | zetheroo, now, if you checked the specs for the docking station for your laptop as well, you would note it has an extgended GPU, whatever that means. I will assume it has anothe grapgicsc card | 13:34 |
| zetheroo | iptable: 2 displayports, one HDMI, one VGA and one DVI | 13:34 |
| zetheroo | The dock is useles for what I wants to do | 13:34 |
| zetheroo | iptable: Linux lacks support for the display hub in the dock - and I tried several combinations - none work | 13:35 |
| iptable | zetheroo, then only the manufacturer can help you. I don't konw the specific workings of that system. and a mini-displayport, is normally a multi-stream-single-monitor port. one monitor per displayport. that's how it's wired to the GPU. | 13:35 |
| sacarlson | jrgill: I'm not even sure what a sysrq is. what unsaved data do you have? can't you just copy data onto a usb drive? | 13:36 |
| iptable | sacarlson, sysrq is "magic" | 13:36 |
| EriC^^ | it's what is at the end of the rainbow | 13:36 |
| iptable | sacarlson, I urge you to read it, since you have an actual sysrq button on the keyboard | 13:36 |
| EriC^^ | right iptable ? | 13:37 |
| iptable | uhm, almost | 13:37 |
| zetheroo | iptable: the only way I get two monitors extended is to plug one into the laptop VGA port, and the other into the laptop mini-displayport. There is a third way - plug one screen into the dock and one into the laptop - but the outcome is that one screen has washed out colors (the one connected to the dock). | 13:37 |
| sacarlson | iptable: never used it unless it's that one that I use to print screen | 13:37 |
| iptable | sacarlson, sysrq are direct system controls. you can force immediate reboot with either sysrq pipe to /proc OR with a special keyboard sequence. | 13:37 |
| rberg | s u b should still be enabled, at least it was when I did it yesterday | 13:37 |
| iptable | sacarlson, no, it's the one with sysrq written on it | 13:37 |
| iptable | modern keyboards have it | 13:37 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: it can be the same as prnt scrn | 13:38 |
| iptable | not on my keyboard. my one is next to F10. prnt screen is F11 | 13:38 |
| iptable | sacarlson, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 13:38 |
| sacarlson | so how is not having a normaly useless key on a keyboard going to prevent jrgill from saving his data? | 13:39 |
| iptable | sacarlson, if you press the sysrq key and while holind it, you type REISUB, it will immediately reboot. it stands for (loosely), Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken :P | 13:39 |
| === Owner_ is now known as Guest97498 | ||
| sacarlson | iptable: oh cool I did try that once but forgot the sequence when I really needed it | 13:40 |
| somsip | sacarlson: ALT PrintScreen if you cant find SysRq | 13:40 |
| iptable | jrgill, sysrq does not allow you to save data. it would be useless if you want to save actual data. | 13:40 |

| mfoo | Hello, I have multiple mysql servers that fail with the mysql-server.5.5.40 upgrade. They all upgrade and then die with the following error: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1". This seems to be due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708176. This seems | 13:53 |
| mfoo | quite bad as it is a security update. Does anybody have any preventative measures to run before an upgrade? | 13:53 |

| learts | perfect. Thanks EriC^^ | 13:54 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: I'm not sure but it looks like a bug | 13:54 |
| EriC^^ | learts: np, it's not persistent though | 13:54 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: is this a package that you created? | 13:54 |
| mad2k | well that bug breaks the apt-get system because it fires whenever i want to install sth. | 13:54 |
| mad2k | no it must be in the repositories.. i normally run an update like every 2 weeks and this one broke it | 13:55 |
| lumia900 | my slapcat has not configured... but how to get that configured ? | 13:55 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: must be an event that normaly doesnt' hapen or it wouldn't get released | 13:55 |
| lumia900 | how to make the configuration ... | 13:55 |
| mad2k | is there a way to block the new kernel or sth to get rid of it? | 13:56 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: I guess just get rid of it or fix it | 13:56 |
| mad2k | even when i do "sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic" it fires the error | 13:56 |
| mad2k | it is stated as "half-installed" | 13:56 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: I would have to look at the postrm script to see what it is | 13:56 |
| work | hello. i have a problem with Toshiba laptop. it runs but after 1 - 2 minutes it stops, screen becomes solid color. thats all | 13:57 |

| mad2k | unfortunate i am not a programmer | 14:21 |
| mad2k | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8574176/ | 14:21 |
| rcmaehl | sacarlson, the partition isn't a known filesystem (FAT16/32, NTFS, EXT2/3/4 to the live cd ) | 14:21 |

| sacarlson | mad2k: oh you tried both ways and still get a syntax error? | 14:21 |
| mad2k | exact | 14:22 |
| sacarlson | rcmaehl: oh yes then can you just remove the partiton then or does it contain something you neeed? | 14:22 |
| rcmaehl | sacarlson, I could technically remove it, but I'd like to see what's on it before I do so | 14:23 |
| sacarlson | mad2k: see we should of had someone else look at it. | 14:23 |
| sacarlson | rcmaehl: my guess is that you can add the needed module to read whatever it is like maybe a osx partition? | 14:24 |
| sacarlson | rcmaehl: or maybe a raid partion? | 14:24 |
| somsip | rcmaehl: how big is it? What OSes were on the HD in the past? Could it be a system/manufacturer recovery partition? | 14:25 |
| mad2k | sacarlson the funny thing is that he now wants the ) | 14:26 |

| rcmaehl | somsip, the partition is 10GB. I don't know what OSes were on before but it had been powered on 1600 times before this (according to SMART) and I'm unable to boot to it | 14:26 |
| rcmaehl | The partition takes the entire disk | 14:27 |

| sacarlson | zuka8: I guess multiverse is optional in that checkbox thing in synaptic? | 15:08 |
| zuka8 | i am sure i want to get rid of the second (trusty-proposed), but not sure of the first. can you please explain to me the first? | 15:08 |
| sacarlson | opps | 15:08 |
| zuka8 | sacarlson: so it's unnecessary? | 15:08 |
| zuka8 | sacarlson: i am worried to get rid of it because it's "security" | 15:09 |

| zuka8 | EriC^^: but if first one is important, why is it not in the other sources.list file (which is default) ? | 15:10 |

| EriC^^ | zuka8: i think trusty-updates is selected by default.. | 15:11 |

| sacarlson | irreverant: there is a file /etc/passwords and /etc/shadows but I'm not sure I'm on the same page | 15:19 |

| zuka8 | ok | 15:20 |
| Pici | zuka8: those six lines are the same thing as the line you just pasted. They are equivalent. | 15:20 |
| zuka8 | they are the same? | 15:20 |
| EriC^^ | zuka8: yeah, i think you can just leave the first one you pasted ( with main restricted universe multiverse ) | 15:20 |
| loa | michael_j_p, you can try ubuntu disks utility. | 15:21 |

| zuka8 | Pici: ahhh ok i understand, thanks. sorry for stupid question. but then what i dont understand is why in the other sources.list file there's a repetition? | 15:24 |
| zuka8 | Pici: i mean in the other one there are those six lines plus the other one | 15:25 |
| Pici | zuka8: No idea. | 15:25 |
| zuka8 | it does not make sense, so i can take it away? | 15:25 |

| ObrienDave | irreverant, the question remains, what is Ubuntu 6? | 15:27 |
| sacarlson | ObrienDave: I would assume ubuntu 6 is like 2006 version of ubuntu | 15:27 |
| zuka8 | last question: why is it written sometimes # (just one time) and sometimes ## (two times)? | 15:27 |
| zuka8 | the comment character # | 15:28 |
| ObrienDave | sacarlson, i would not assume anything at this point :) | 15:28 |
| sacarlson | zuka8: oh oh I know that one. in md files the more ## the smaller the fonts | 15:28 |
| Pici | zuka8: Just for formatting. It has no other use. | 15:28 |
| zuka8 | there is no difference? | 15:29 |
| sacarlson | ObrienDave: when no one tells me I have to fill in the blanks or nothing gets done | 15:29 |
| Pici | zuka8: no difference. | 15:29 |
| Pici | zuka8: # = ## = ###################### | 15:29 |
| zuka8 | sacarlson: i dont understand what you wrote | 15:29 |
| irreverant | Yes an old version of ubuntu | 15:30 |
| zuka8 | Pici is the best at getting beginners to understand :) | 15:30 |
| ObrienDave | zuka8, it does NOT matter how many # are in the line | 15:30 |
| irreverant | similar to like ubunto 12.04 | 15:30 |
| zuka8 | thank you everybody | 15:30 |
| ObrienDave | zuka8, anything after the 1st # is a comment | 15:31 |
| sacarlson | zuka8: in md files like in github.com readme.md files they convert md files into html whre ## are control of h1 h2 fonts in html | 15:31 |

| Pici | zuka8: what sacarlson is talking about is somewhat irrelevant for what you are asking | 15:31 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: oh so now you fixed it | 15:32 |
| sacarlson | zuka8: like in the readme.md in this example of github.com https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage | 15:32 |
| simbabad | sacarlson: ? | 15:33 |
| sacarlson | simbabad: well you got your openvpn config to work so you found a workaround | 15:33 |
| simbabad | lol :D | 15:33 |
| sacarlson | Pici: yes I think pici is correct zuka8 I may have misunderstood | 15:34 |
| zuka8 | sacarlson: ok, well thanks anyways | 15:36 |
| zuka8 | and there is no difference in putting the # (whatever it is called) in front or just erase the whole line? | 15:36 |

| NoahYdr | How do I access Ubuntu Server using SSH? | 16:00 |
| sacarlson | Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Desktop End of Life reached on May 9, 2013 | 16:00 |
| hggdh | NoahYdr: first install openssh-server on the server | 16:00 |
| NoahYdr | hggdh, then? | 16:00 |
| SchrodingersScat | ssh user@server | 16:00 |
| hggdh | NoahYdr: then ssh over to it | 16:01 |
| NoahYdr | hggdh, I can't. | 16:01 |
| NoahYdr | I am trying using PuTTy and using the IP in ifconfig, but it doesn't works. | 16:01 |
| hggdh | NoahYdr: and what does putty say when it fails? | 16:02 |
| SchrodingersScat | NoahYdr: is there a firewall between you and the machine? | 16:02 |

| NoahYdr | SchrodingersScat, Idk. | 16:02 |
| NoahYdr | sacarlson, How? | 16:03 |
| hggdh | NoahYdr: then what SchrodingersScat and sacarlson asked apply | 16:03 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: from a term you should be able to $ ping 192.168.2.x or whatever your ssh server ip is | 16:03 |
| NoahYdr | In Ubuntu? | 16:04 |
| NoahYdr | The same machine as the openssh server? | 16:04 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: from the client side I guess your windows system | 16:04 |
| NoahYdr | Yes, then 'ping -t IP'? | 16:05 |
| NoahYdr | No, then I can't ping. 'Timeout' | 16:05 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: I'm not sure what the added -t does | 16:05 |
| hggdh | prolly traceroute -T would be better | 16:05 |
| NoahYdr | -t means IP to a computer. | 16:05 |

| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, The compuer I am connecting from is another PC in the same network. | 16:08 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: good point maybe NoahYdr is attempting from wan | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: ok so both have a similar address, except the last number in the IP | 16:08 |
| NoahYdr | sacarlson, The ping is failed. | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: apparently not :( | 16:08 |
| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, Huh? | 16:08 |
| NoahYdr | Ok | 16:08 |
| NoahYdr | It is the correct IP | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: eg. your PC is 192.168.0.2 and the server is 192.168.0.3 | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: both have the same numbers in the first 3 places in the IP, but the last one is different | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: is taht what you have? | 16:09 |
| NoahYdr | I'm using VMWare on a Windows Machine, with Ubuntu Server. Im using the Ubuntu Server ip in ifconfig | 16:09 |
| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, The IP is: 192.168.114.130 | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: but do the IPs follow the pattern I gave? | 16:09 |
| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, The IP is: 192.168.114.130 | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: ok and what is the IP of the system you are sat on? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: the system you want to connect from, the windows system? | 16:10 |
| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, It is: 192.168.1.74 | 16:11 |
| NoahYdr | This is wireless, the host is wired. | 16:11 |
| NoahYdr | Here's the Ubuntu IP https://playdalife.tinytake.com/sf/MTUzXzExNzk | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: oh NoahYdr oh I think your vmware is behind a nat firewall | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: I don't think they are on the same network | 16:12 |
| NoahYdr | sacarlson, Should I change it to Bridged mode? | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: yes bridged mode you should be able to ping and ssh between them | 16:13 |
| NoahYdr | Ok | 16:13 |
| NoahYdr | Should I select the checkbox 'Replicate physical network connection state'? | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: then its a different subnet | 16:14 |
| NoahYdr | ActionParsnip, Should I select it? | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: set the VM to use a bridged connection and it will get an IP from your router and work without issue | 16:14 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: I'm not sure what that would mean | 16:15 |
| NoahYdr | Should I select the checkbox 'Replicate physical network connection state' In VMWare? | 16:15 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: it won't blow up try both states | 16:15 |
| NoahYdr | ok | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: its not working because the virtual system is in its own network and you havent bridged between. | 16:18 |
| NoahYdr | Its working now! | 16:19 |

| Giwrgaras | what do you use? | 16:21 |
| NoahYdr | But I can't sign in using SSH! | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | NoahYdr: I'd ask in the vmware channel to see the config needed for the traffic to be brought in to the virtual environment | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Giwrgaras: vlc usually | 16:22 |
| NoahYdr | I can't sign in using SSH | 16:22 |

| EriC^^ | never tried it though | 16:39 |
| sacarlson | NoahYdr: so you installed this ubuntu server into vmware? if so you should have recorded the user name and passwords when you created it. if not I guess you will have to reinstall it and record it this time | 16:39 |
| EriC^^ | give it a shot | 16:39 |
| Giora | Will do | 16:39 |

| TenLeftFingers | I can't drag because my mouse can't go to the second screen (because there is none). | 16:45 |

| rigor789 | Hey guys, any ideas why is ubuntu lagging and unresponsive on a fresh install? | 16:59 |
| rigor789 | Specs: i5 3570k 8gigs of ram, ssd drive, gtx550ti | 16:59 |
| Giora | It should be blazing fast with your specs | 17:00 |
| rigor789 | Giora, I know right, but for some reason it isn't | 17:00 |
| rigor789 | And as I said it is a fresh install also 14.04 | 17:00 |
| rigor789 | Can it be something with the video drivers? | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | Giora: there might be a solution here http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-global-application-menu | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | Giora: it seems you want gsettings set com.canonical.Unity integrated-menus false | 17:03 |
| Giora | Thats what I just tried | 17:03 |
| EriC^^ | Giora: and sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu | 17:03 |
| Giora | Did that already | 17:03 |
| EriC^^ | ( but that will break the hud ) | 17:03 |
| Giora | I don't mind | 17:04 |
| EriC^^ | both should give you no menus, no? | 17:04 |
| Giora | It should restore em actually | 17:04 |
| Giora | But it doesn't work for everything | 17:04 |
| Giora | For terminal I do see it | 17:04 |
| Giora | But not for nautilus | 17:04 |
| EriC^^ | Giora: maybe sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt | 17:05 |
| Giora | Tried that too | 17:05 |
| Giora | Still doesn't affect nautilus | 17:05 |
| EriC^^ | Giora: try to set the setting to global menu, who knows | 17:07 |
| Giora | No matter what I've tried global menu would refuse to die | 17:07 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest48970 | ||

| zzxc | Sooo I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this. But if I'm getting the "/dev/xvdh1 will be checked for errors at next reboot" message. I can cirsumvent the fsck on the drive by unmounting the drive and running fsck on it correct? | 17:28 |
| jemendja | hi | 17:29 |
| zzxc | hey jemendja | 17:30 |
| sacarlson | I'm not sure running fsck will stop it from running the test at boot by you can always break out of the test at boot I think with esc key | 17:32 |

| sacarlson | Giora: gave you what I thought you would like and I found what looks like an easier solution to install mate on ubuntu http://blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=1253 | 17:34 |
| zzxc | sacarlson: Its on an EC2 Server so I can't override it. Plus it needs to happen anyways. | 17:34 |
| sacarlson | zzxc: oh ic | 17:34 |
| Giora | I'm not going to install mate | 17:34 |
| sacarlson | zzxc: what do they force boot those every x days or what ? | 17:35 |
| sacarlson | Giora: it's now down to 6 lines of apt-get's in the last link. I can make you guys a single deb file to do it in a single line | 17:36 |
| zzxc | sacarlson: Honestly I don't remeber. I get an email every so often. I'm just trying to avoid downtime with the server. And I have 8tb attached to it so fsck can take a while. | 17:36 |
| Giora | I still don't want to use Mate | 17:36 |
| sacarlson | Giora: oh it's not the difficulty to install it's just you don't like the old way like ubuntu 10 | 17:37 |
| Giora | I don't have any problem installing it | 17:37 |
| Giora | I simply want to keep using Unity thats all | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | Giora: well it's no longer unity after what you have already done to it ha ha | 17:38 |
| Giora | Eh | 17:38 |
| Giora | Be it hacked unity | 17:38 |
| sacarlson | Giora: linux is just one big hack | 17:39 |
| Giora | Yeah I've noticed | 17:39 |
| zzxc | sacarlson, Giora: I've seen people use unity and pantheon. But everything is pretty swappable. | 17:41 |
| zzxc | It takes a little bit of work but everything is pretty swappable* | 17:42 |
| Giora | I'll just keep removing packages until either it works or ubuntu breaks | 17:42 |
| zzxc | Giora: What are you trying to get it to do? | 17:44 |
| Giora | Kill global menu for good | 17:44 |

| rigor789 | Any ideas why is Ubuntu unresponsive on a high end pc? (14.04) the whole system feels laggy and unresponsive.. :( | 17:53 |
| sacarlson | rigor789: I guess they expect you to have like solid state drives and 8 cores and..... | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | sacarlson, I have a solid state drive | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | In fact 2 of them | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | i5 3570k 8gigs of ram | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | should not have any issues | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | gtx 550 ti | 17:55 |
| sacarlson | rigor789: opps and a super nividia gpu | 17:55 |
| rigor789 | sacarlson, 550ti should be fine | 17:56 |
| sacarlson | with the propriatary drivers running | 17:56 |
| sacarlson | turn off the eye candy and it might run faster | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | rigor789: which driver are you using? | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | rigor789: it's probably a graphics driver issue | 18:00 |
| rigor789 | EriC^^, It used the default, I can't recall, then I selected the nvidia latest tested | 18:00 |
| rigor789 | but both lag | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | rigor789: type lspci | grep VGA | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | then type sudo lshw -C video | grep driver | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | and paste in paste.ubuntu.com | 18:01 |

| sacarlson | what is that eye candy stuf called that runs on the desktop with all the flames and transparant windows and stuf called or package used? | 18:01 |
| Giora | compiz? | 18:02 |

| rigor789 | I'll reboot then | 18:03 |

| diphtherial | hey, apologies for this generic linux question, but i can't remember the name of that file you can somewhere in your home directory that allows you to give a short name + ssh key to a host | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: well it's not running on my machine and it's just fine | 18:05 |
| diphtherial | anyone happen to remember? | 18:05 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: if he removes compiz he will break his DE | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: aparantly not as he has already tried that and didn't say anything about breaking it | 18:05 |
| EriC^^ | rigor789: maybe something is using the CPU ? type top in a terminal | 18:05 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: he said he turned off the effects, not removed it | 18:06 |
| rigor789 | I might change to no gui though.. I feel more confortable without it (mostly used linux for servers) | 18:06 |
| rigor789 | EriC^^, should not be | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: disable remove same thing | 18:06 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: man are you nuts? | 18:06 |

| diphtherial | Pici: ah, thank you! | 18:06 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: compiz is what draws the windows | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: aparantly they have an alternate method to draw boxes as I doubled checked and compiz is not installed on my system, but to make you happy I will install it to try it | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: it's because you're using a different window manager | 18:09 |
| sacarlson | you people scared to try anything | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: buddy that's not the issue | 18:10 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: you're telling people to remove their window manager and thus break their DE | 18:10 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: it should warn you if you attempt to remove it that these package will also be effected. just take a look at what would be lost | 18:11 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: that doesn't make sense | 18:12 |
| sacarlson | EriC^^: you never attempted to see the effects without removing a package will do? there is the botton to continue before it starts | 18:13 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: i know, that's not the point | 18:13 |
| EriC^^ | sacarlson: so if i tell you to break your system with a command, but there's a do you want to continue it's ok? | 18:14 |

| Rhapsody | I want to install Ubuntu on my flash drive, but I don't want to overwrite the current bootloader (since I'm currently using Windows 10 and overwriting that bootloader would likely lock me out of the OS, if I understand how that works). | 19:10 |
| Rhapsody | Er, rather, I want to install Ubuntu VIA my flash drive | 19:11 |
| Rhapsody | but you get the point | 19:11 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: how do you plan to boot ubuntu? | 19:11 |
| Rhapsody | I plan to make a partition on my SSD to install it to, while installing it via the USB device | 19:11 |
| OerHeks | there is no manual for windows 10 chaining bootloader yet | 19:11 |
| Rhapsody | OerHeks, the bootloader seems identical to the Windows 8 one, I'm not even sure if it's changed... I wonder if I can look up the bootloader version? | 19:12 |
| Rhapsody | We can simplify this with this question that I've run into while researching; | 19:13 |
| Rhapsody | I read that GRUB launches at the start of the computer, but if you select to boot into Windows it goes to the Windows screen to select the OS instead. | 19:13 |
| Rhapsody | Is this true? | 19:13 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: if you're using efi, it will load the bootmgfw.efi file | 19:14 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, A full install to the USB? | 19:14 |
| EriC^^ | which is basically as if grub wasn't installed, i guess | 19:14 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: As I understand to properly install Linux, you need to install it to a USB device/SD card and then boot into it, and install it via the installer that's provided. | 19:14 |
| EriC^^ | ( that's for win8 efi ) | 19:15 |
| Rhapsody | Or am I mixing it up with WUBI? | 19:15 |

| Rhapsody | (I'm actually dual booting Windows 7 and 10 already, but that's besides the point) | 19:15 |
| jmacdonald | hi | 19:17 |

| jmacdonald | i just installed squid3 via apt-get and it didn't create an init file... weird.! | 19:17 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: So I can just install without any concern for not being able to boot into Win10? | 19:17 |
| Rhapsody | Also, how hard is GRUB to remove if I decide to not use Ubuntu? Is it just as simple as repairing the bootloader via a Windows install disc? | 19:18 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: yes, i simple /fixmbr should suffice | 19:18 |
| EriC^^ | *a | 19:18 |
| Rhapsody | Fair enough, I'll probably be back with questions later | 19:19 |
| genii | Rhapsody: For the issue with your G35 headset, try setting the value default-sample-channels in your /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to 8 | 19:19 |
| Rhapsody | genii: If you could hold onto that or send it to the email I'll PM you, that'd be great | 19:20 |
| Rhapsody | If that doesn't work, I've been looking around and it seems like Pulseaudio manager can do it, too. | 19:20 |
| Rhapsody | PulseAudio Equalizer | 19:20 |
| Rhapsody | my bad | 19:20 |
| Rhapsody | Uh, final question, since it's important to me; how do Intel CPUs fare with OpenGL? | 19:21 |
| Rhapsody | Like, the Intel HD 3000 graphics | 19:21 |
| jmacdonald | GPUS? | 19:21 |
| Rhapsody | No, I think the term is APU | 19:22 |
| Rhapsody | I have an Intel 2520M and I use it for some games on Windows. These games use the DirectX library on Windows, but OpenGL on Linux. | 19:22 |
| Rhapsody | How will the CPU perform with that? | 19:22 |
| kakashiA1 | hey guys, I installed the powerline via cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone | 19:24 |
| kakashiA1 | https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline | 19:24 |
| kakashiA1 | this is my .vimrc: https://paste.xinu.at/Hn7bA/ | 19:24 |
| kakashiA1 | this is what I get if I start gvim: https://paste.xinu.at/oGOvr/ | 19:24 |
| kakashiA1 | I used the same config on an archlinux mashine and it works there | 19:24 |
| bekks | And whats "not working" in your paste? | 19:25 |
| bekks | No error to be seen. | 19:25 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, I think we all support your use of ubuntu, but you have to just set it up and try it, asking broad questions about what it may be like is not the channels use past a certain point.;) | 19:25 |
| kakashiA1 | bekks: thats right, but do you know how the poweline have to look like? | 19:25 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: I'm aware, I'm just asking for a generalized opinion of it's performance since I couldn't find anything and I'm sure other people had the same CPU, but I'll try it myself, of course. | 19:26 |
| bekks | kakashiA1: No. I never heard of that - so please explain what you expect to happen. | 19:26 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, A generalized opinion means nothing at best it is subjective at worst worthless individually | 19:27 |

| pc_magas | I also managed to install grub2 on a usb stick and I want to boot the ubuntu.14.04 iso from it | 19:50 |

| === jack is now known as Guest96717 | ||
| pc_magas | But when I sellect to boot the iso I want to show the original menu and its selections | 19:51 |
| pc_magas | in few words how can I configure the grub2 to boot another bootloader from the Ubuntu Iso? | 19:51 |
| bubbasaures | pc_magas, There are a handful of usb loaders, some boot the gui you see on a disk boot. | 19:51 |
| pc_magas | bubbasaures, | 19:52 |
| pc_magas | I want to make grub2 to do that | 19:52 |
| pc_magas | TRhat I installed on USB | 19:52 |
| kakashiAL | bekks: thanks anyway | 19:52 |
| EriC^^ | pc_magas: why don't you just install ubuntu onto the usb as a normal installation? | 19:52 |
| andras | When you do a stress test using the stress command, what do the numbers mean? Intensity? Like what does stress --cpu 10 mean | 19:53 |
| EriC^^ | ( if you want a standalone installation on a usb ) | 19:53 |
| bubbasaures | pc_magas, Lots on the web on this. Here is a wiki on doing it with multiple iso possibilities. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using-linux/ | 19:54 |
| pc_magas | EriC^^, cause I want to be able to boot multiple isos from different isos | 19:54 |
| kaligne | Ok thank you Ill explain briefly : my current goal is to make a multi-boot usb stick using syslinux. TO begin with, I read on some documentations that sslinux suports fileformats such as Fat, ext{2,3,4}. It also is compatible with MBR and GPT. | 19:58 |
| kaligne | I used the tool gdisk to create a `Linux file system` partition (/dev/sdb1). Then I formatted it with `mkfs.ext2` and when I try initializing syslinux with `syslinux -m /dev/sdb1` I get this error "syslinux: invalid media signature (not a FAT filesystem?)" | 19:58 |
| kaligne | I thought syslinux was supposed to suport ext2 files, isn't it the case? | 19:58 |
| bekks | kaligne: "ext2" is not "FAT". | 19:59 |
| kaligne | bekks I get it, but the documentation says it supports ext2 as well? | 20:00 |
| bekks | kaligne: I believe in the error message telling you it doesnt. | 20:00 |
| reisio | that might mean it will _boot_ a system on ext | 20:00 |
| reisio | #syslinux | 20:00 |
| maxis11 | i have a question. I'm using liquorix(based on zen-kernel) kernel on Ubuntu 14.10 and don't know on which file system(ext4,brtfs,xfs) os will work faster. Can anyone help me with choice? (sorry for my bad English) | 20:04 |
| EriC^^ | kaligne: why syslinux? why not grub2? | 20:05 |
| === Guest15838 is now known as icecream_ | ||
| bekks | maxis11: After booting, the filesystem is on of the irrelevant factors for "performance" of a OS. | 20:05 |
| kaligne | bekks : ok Ill try Fat32 format | 20:05 |
| bekks | maxis11: The interesting part would be the filesystem where your data resides, not your OS. | 20:06 |
| cat_pants | Hi folks. How do I tell if my driver for my wireless card is installed? I can see my card via lspci. | 20:06 |
| kaligne | EriC^^ : because I read it is supposed to be easy to set up and to chainload. Does Grub2 do that too? | 20:06 |
| EriC^^ | kaligne: yes very much so | 20:06 |

| Garrett2 | Hello guys! I already posted this over at the Ubuntu-Gnome channel but there seems to be nobody there, so I hope it's not in bad taste to ask here as well: My notebook decided to show me nothing but a black screen today (from the moment when i press the power button, so i don't even see the bios-screen) but when i hook it up to an external monitor everything's fine, so there doesn't seem to be a problem with the OS (Ubuntu Gnome | 20:48 |
| Garrett2 | 14.04) itself (i would think). I suspected something's wrong with the display driver, so i went ahaed and reinstalled xserver-xorg, but that didn't help... What else could i try (before acknowledging that my display is actually faulty)? | 20:48 |

| pips_ | ~dconnolly@user1.kumc.edu | 21:08 |
| Rhapsody | I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto my secondary drive (an external SSD connected via eSATA). The thing is, Ubuntu can't see the partition I made for the Ubuntu installation when I run the Ubuntu installer after booting into Ubuntu (via my USB drive); it can only see the partitions from my main drive. | 21:08 |
| Rhapsody | Some info; the secondary drive is formatted as an MBR device, and all partitions are NTFS. | 21:09 |
| Rhapsody | The Ubuntu file manager can see and mount the secondary drive manually, but doesn't see it in the installer. | 21:09 |
| Ben64 | Rhapsody: did you partition in windows | 21:09 |
| Rhapsody | Yes, I did | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Is the drive not listed, or is it listed as being unpartitioned? | 21:10 |
| Rhapsody | Should I try gparted instead? | 21:10 |
| Ben64 | there you go, windows is dumb with partitions | 21:10 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U:It's not listed in the list of partitions I can install Ubuntu to, but I can still select the actual drive from the menu asking me where to install the MBR | 21:10 |
| Ben64 | this problem happens all the time in here, but i haven't seen a easy solution that doesn't destroy data | 21:10 |
| Rhapsody | Ben64: What do you mean? Isn't it as easy as merging the partition I wanted to use back into the main partition, and then using gparted to make the installation partition again | 21:11 |
| Rhapsody | ? | 21:11 |
| Ben64 | well the problem is that windows creates some gpt data but not valid or something, so it breaks certain things | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". | 21:11 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: I'm not booted into Ubuntu currently because of a recurring issue when trying to install Ubuntu | 21:12 |
| simo2200 | hello | 21:12 |
| Ben64 | i've seen people try to fix it using dd, gdisk, and other things, but not sure if any work | 21:12 |
| Rhapsody | When I get to the stage where it asks me where to install it, my connection drops every time and I can't reconnect without rebooting | 21:12 |
| Rhapsody | So for now I'm on Windows | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | Ben64: That problem is easy to solve without destroying data: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ | 21:13 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: I'll get back to you if I run into any issues. For now I'm going to merge my installation partition back into the main partition, and split it again in gparted | 21:13 |
| tafa2 | would anyone know how to automate a checkinstall command? | 21:13 |
| Ben64 | Jordan_U: yay! | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: was the drive a gpt? | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | tafa2: What is your end goal? | 21:14 |
| EriC^^ | yeah as Jordan_U said ^^^ | 21:14 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: The two formats are GPT and MBR, right? | 21:14 |
| tafa2 | Jordan_U installing something on a few servers from source and need to automate the process | 21:14 |
| Rhapsody | If that's the case it's formatted as MBR since Windows requires MBR for installation and I have Windows 10 on this drive as well | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | tafa2: What are you installing? | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: if it was gpt and you converted to MBR ( you said you are using win7 earlier right? ) then stray gpt data would confuse the ubuntu installer | 21:15 |
| tafa2 | accell-ppp Jordan_U | 21:15 |
| seed_ | asdf | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: yeah, but was it originally GPT ? | 21:15 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^:Yes | 21:15 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: Windows doesn't require MBR | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | then that's the problem, most likely | 21:15 |

| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: no | 21:16 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: version? booting EFI or not? | 21:16 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: i don't think so | 21:16 |

| EriC^^ | *have done it | 21:16 |
| Rhapsody | daftykins: I'm currently dualbooting Windows 7 and 10, using the Windows 10 bootloader. | 21:16 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: so are you booting in EFI mode or not? | 21:16 |
| Rhapsody | It originally had Windows 7, so take that into consideration; I don't know whether it is or not | 21:16 |
| tafa2 | Rhapsody how is windows 10? | 21:16 |
| tafa2 | Jordan_U any ideas? | 21:17 |
| Rhapsody | tafa2: Pretty nice, my only major bug was when I booted once and the startmenu didn't work, and shutdown stalled | 21:17 |
| Rhapsody | A hard restart fixed it | 21:17 |
| daftykins | ok you need to install OSs in the same mode, so boot your install media properly in EFI mode. | 21:17 |
| Rhapsody | daftykins: I don't know what EFI mode is. All I do is press ESC and select my boot media. | 21:18 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, There is a script you can run from ubuntu that would answer a lot of questions and get you on with your install likely. | 21:18 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: And that is? | 21:18 |
| Jordan_U | tafa2: Checkinstall will make a .deb for you, so you can just "dpkg -i" that .deb on all of your servers. | 21:18 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: yeah you're not doing it right then. look up how to boot copies of Windows from USB flash drive in EFI mode, if your system is EFI capable | 21:18 |
| bubbasaures | !bootinfo | Rhapsody | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Rhapsody: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 21:18 |

| djoomla | good evening | 21:19 |
| bubbasaures | I'm not emailing from my own account | 21:19 |
| Rhapsody | Anyhow, I'll use fixparts first as suggested | 21:20 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: If you won't email it, I'll just rejoin when I get there | 21:20 |
| Rhapsody | Rebooting now, thanks all | 21:20 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: tip: if you want to store something to remember, create a new email in your gmail and save it as a draft = instantly there and synced between devices | 21:20 |
| djoomla | can anyone help me with PGP keys on ubuntu? I can't run apt-get update as there are some expired keys, but when I try to delete them and run apt-key update it re-adds the old ones | 21:20 |
| Rhapsody | daftykins: Google Keep is a thing, I just remembered | 21:20 |
| tafa2 | Jordan_U yeah... but not really an option... compliance+security paranoid people bla bla | 21:20 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: that too. | 21:20 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, fixparts works well if you not efi in your installs and are mbr booting, however being backed up/imaged is your best insurance. | 21:20 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: boot into ubuntu, we can probably figure out what's going on | 21:21 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: Will do, rebooting now :) | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | tafa2: So for security reasons you're required to build the same program on multiple different machines rather than building once and installing it on all of the machines? | 21:21 |
| tafa2 | can you believe it | 21:22 |
| tafa2 | the source is checked from a secure place | 21:22 |
| tafa2 | *checked out | 21:22 |
| tafa2 | where "it hasn't been tampered with" | 21:22 |
| tafa2 | but building the deb | 21:22 |
| tafa2 | and distributing that is too much work | 21:22 |
| bekks | tafa2: Much less work than building it on every host. | 21:23 |
| tafa2 | bekks sorry i forgot to add </sarcasm> | 21:23 |
| Rhapsody | Okay, I'm on Ubuntu now. | 21:24 |

| EriC^^ | and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com, or install pastebinit ( sudo apt-get install pastebinit ) | 21:25 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: interesting | 21:25 |
| EriC^^ | type gdisk -l /dev/sdx | 21:26 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: Give me a second, I think I need to manually mount the other drives | 21:26 |
| bekks | Rhapsody: You dont need the drives to mount for using fdisk/gdisk | 21:26 |
| Rhapsody | bekks: Apparently. I mounted them and got the same result | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l", whatever that happens to be. | 21:27 |
| Rhapsody | Oh, I see why it didn't show up now! | 21:27 |
| bekks | Rhapsody: Why? | 21:27 |
| Rhapsody | parted prevents the rest of the output from showing up if it asks for a yes/no until that's answered | 21:27 |
| Rhapsody | I CTRL+Ced out and it printed the rest | 21:28 |

| Rhapsody | In other words, what I'm currently using | 21:31 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: ok, that's good | 21:31 |
| EriC^^ | fixparts should do it | 21:31 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: It claims the partition table is GPT, but I used a program to switch it to MBR without data loss, unlike what MS's program would've done. | 21:32 |

| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: The program you used left the GPT signatures around, which parted doesn't like. You can use fixparts, as described here: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ , to whipe the GPT signatures. | 21:34 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: I already ran the command if you read the output again, it's now leaving me with an MBR command prompt. | 21:34 |
| Rhapsody | Does that guide discuss that? | 21:34 |
| Mugen_Deutsche | hi guys, i am a newbie in linux and i have installed ubuntu desktop already. how can i install redhat to make it dual boot ? | 21:35 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: it seems to be a bug in fixparts | 21:36 |

| k1l_ | Mugen_Deutsche: install redhat on different partitions. their bootloader should recognize ubuntu | 21:36 |
| Mugen_Deutsche | oh ok | 21:36 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: I didn't know that it didn't actually do anything yet, whoops. EriC^^, will this pose a problem for me, in short? | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Just enter 'q' and re-run "sudo parted -l". | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: i dont think so | 21:36 |
| walooo | al9lawi | 21:36 |

| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: i think the 0xEE means a protective mbr | 21:37 |
| ego | I ran sudo du -hs /*, and the directories takin up the most space are /lib (2.2G), /opt(1.5G), /usr (8.1G) and /var (5G), apart from /home which is 24G. I have no idea if these sizes are normal. I have now only about 16M of free space in root | 21:37 |
| walooo | pour | 21:37 |
| bekks | ego: My /home is about 120M. | 21:37 |
| ego | *160M | 21:37 |
| ego | bekks: Thanks. I do download a lot ofo movies, so I gave /home a big chink. This doesn't seem to be the problem, though. | 21:38 |
| Ben64 | ego: what partitions do you have | 21:38 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: It already stated that it's erased GPT data from the drive. Is my issue over now? | 21:40 |
| bekks | ego: Well, I guess you installed quite a lot of software which you dont use actually - do you? :) | 21:40 |
| ego | Ben64, I only have swap, root and home, plus other windows-related partitions. | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Check by running "sudo parted -l". | 21:40 |
| ego | bekks, I HAVE installed quite abit, but I'm not sure it's stuff I don't use. | 21:41 |
| Ben64 | ego: ok, so how big is root | 21:41 |
| ego | Ben64, 18.64G | 21:41 |
| Ben64 | and you filled that up? wow. mine is 24GB and I've used only 8.3GB | 21:42 |
| ego | bekks, The weird thing is that it seems root is filling up without me installing extra stuff. | 21:42 |
| khaya | is there a way to play .wav format in ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8576110/ | 21:43 |
| Esor | hi | 21:43 |
| Ben64 | khaya: yes, many ways. any media player should be able to | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | khaya: Yes. Any of the many media players available in Ubuntu can open .wav files. | 21:43 |
| smog | khaya: apt-get install bplay | 21:43 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: ok, it sees the partitions, the installer should as well | 21:43 |
| khaya | sorry I meant to say .wma? | 21:44 |
| Esor | does anybody know how to make in bash file (cd folder) in nice way in one line | 21:44 |
| bekks | ego: Thats due to log files, etc. - I'd just uninstall all those big software packages I dont use/need | 21:44 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U: Looks good, or is there a problem? | 21:44 |
| EriC^^ | Esor: make cd folder ? | 21:44 |
| bekks | khaya: wma is just a n audio container. | 21:44 |
| Esor | without using cd + enter | 21:44 |
| Esor | for example cd blabla | 21:45 |
| Esor | to access a folder | 21:45 |
| Jordan_U | khaya: Yes, many of Ubuntu's available players can play .wma files, though since it's a patented format support can't be included by default. Have you tried double clicking the file? It should open the file in Totem media player, which will then prompt you to install the needed packages. | 21:45 |
| ego | bekks, Thanks, but I'm not sure there are any that I don't need. Plus, it has been a good while since I installed any big software, and my computer's been acting up only recently. | 21:45 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Looks good. | 21:45 |
| Esor | i made a bash file with wine ./CoDMP.exe | 21:46 |
| EriC^^ | Esor: cd <directory>; <other commands> | 21:46 |
| bekks | ego: I am very sure there is quite a lot of stuff you dont use with 1.5GB /opt and 8 GB /usr :) | 21:46 |
| Esor | and i would like to have in bash file the directory of the place the file i run is | 21:46 |
| khaya | media player opens and shut-down immediately | 21:47 |
| Esor | ah so | 21:47 |
| Esor | cd blabla; wine ./CoDMP.exe ? | 21:47 |
| khaya | Amarok | 21:47 |
| ego | Ben64, I'm also noticing there is another partition that has 45G free space. It must be related to linux because it's ext4, but doesn't say what mount point it is. | 21:47 |
| EriC^^ | Esor: it would be as if you were in the directory in an open terminal | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | khaya: Is this .wma file wrapped in DRM? | 21:48 |
| === kokooo is now known as walo | ||
| khaya | I don"t know how to check that | 21:49 |
| === walo is now known as testtest | ||
| geirha | If it's a one-liner it should be cd blabla && wine ./CoDMP.exe # cd's exit status should not go unchecked | 21:49 |
| ego | bekks: Thanks. I noticed that /usr/lib takes up over 4G. Is this anywhere near normal? I'm not sure what files to delete from there. I use computer vision and robotics libraries frequently. Is it possible it all comes from that? | 21:49 |
| bekks | ego: It depends on the aoftware you installed. | 21:49 |
| EriC^^ | Esor: ^^ as geirha suggested | 21:50 |
| bekks | ego: And you dont delete just files, but you have to uninstall software packages. Deleting files will corrupt your package management system. | 21:50 |
| NCS_One | hi | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | khaya: Did you purchase this file or rip it from a CD. If you purchased the file, it probably has DRM (because otherwise they would have likely gone with mp3 or aiff). Do you know what DRM is? | 21:50 |
| tafa2 | brand new vps | 21:51 |
| teward | running `do-release-upgrade -s` is a safe way to generate the changes list that will happen during upgrade, right? Without actually running the upgrade | 21:51 |
| tafa2 | its getting stuck on apt-get update | 21:51 |
| NCS_One | I changed xorg.conf and forgot to backup the original, if I delete the file and restart it creates another? | 21:51 |
| tafa2 | just waiting for headers | 21:51 |
| ego | bekks, but why is my computer acting up just now, and not months ago when I last installed big software? Also, why is it still filling up, if I haven't installed anything recently (yesterday i had 300M free space, today it's half of that). | 21:51 |
| bekks | ego: Just check the software installed and uninstall the software you dont need. | 21:52 |

| k1l_ | ego: "dpkg --get-selections | awk '!/deinstall|purge|hold/ {print $1}' > packages.list " | 21:54 |
| bekks | ego: I'd just use "synaptic" which is a frontend for the package management system. | 21:55 |
| ego | bekks; Thanks. Let me give it a go and I'll be back to tell you if it worked. | 21:55 |

| Guest50692 | Propellerhead Reason | 21:56 |
| ego | EriC^^, Thanks, I'll try that. | 21:56 |
| PandaStyle | Can anyone recommend some starting software for an initial xubuntu install? | 21:57 |
| Guest50692 | this program Propellerhead Reason | 21:57 |
| Guest50692 | any one have | 21:57 |
| teward | PandaStyle: just the standard Xubuntu install, it should come with most of the stuff you'll need | 21:58 |
| k1l_ | Guest50692: this is not a warez channel. | 21:58 |
| k1l_ | PandaStyle: that depends on the stuff you want to do :) just start using (x)ubuntu like you would use another OS and install the programs from the softwarecenter you need | 21:59 |
| PandaStyle | yeah thanks, I've just made the move from windows now, Trying to make a really big push so that *buntu will be my daily OS | 21:59 |
| Esor | PandaStyle, ubuntu is easier and better | 22:00 |
| Esor | than xubuntu imo | 22:00 |
| teward | Esor: might be a load factor issue | 22:00 |
| teward | Esor: Ubuntu is pretty heavy on low-resource system | 22:00 |
| Esor | I've had million issues with games on xubuntu | 22:00 |
| Esor | teward, sorry | 22:00 |
| Esor | (anyway compton fixed most of them) | 22:01 |
| PandaStyle | I have tried ubuntu before and just spent the entire of yesterday VM'ing distros from debian to fedora and i prefer the XFCE | 22:01 |
| ObrienDave | PandaStyle, Xubuntu come with a lot of software. what are you looking for? | 22:01 |
| Esor | Steam! | 22:02 |
| bekks | PandaStyle: You can use pretty much every desktop environment on pretty much every linux distro :) | 22:02 |
| PandaStyle | actually this is perfect :X how do i reply to a user like you guys are doing to me now on Xchat? | 22:02 |
| bekks | PandaStyle: Just type the first part of the name and press the tab key :) | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | but back to the question: if you got a task: search for a program. every one got other usecases for their systems | 22:03 |
| ObrienDave | PandaStyle, use TAB to auto complete user names | 22:03 |
| rww | PandaStyle: put their nick at the start of your message. Generally, typing the first few letters and pressing tab will do that | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | Panda<tab> | 22:03 |
| PandaStyle | bekks, ObrienDave, rww, k1l_ , thanks guys! i see it works multi user to | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | PandaStyle: that works in the terminal for /path/to/file and commands like apt-get too | 22:04 |
| PandaStyle | bekks, I'm still trying to work it all out but how i unserstand it so far is if i install multiple DE's I keep the other apps eg, LXDE's Terminal which might cause bloat | 22:04 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: ...but if you are looking for Ubuntu experience, not welding XFCE to an ArchLinux, I would go with the Xubuntu. :) | 22:05 |
| === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 | ||
| k1l_ | but on modern systems the "bloat" is not really hurting anyone | 22:05 |
| squinty | PandaStyle: if you are using hexchat, double clicking on person's nick and the pasting works too (some other irc clients use Shift double click) | 22:05 |
| PandaStyle | k1l_, thanks good to know, i was wandering actually I read a post somewhere about a guy modding his terminal to have a "pipboy" feel does anyone have any experiance with this? im sure i could find it easilly enough | 22:05 |
| rigor789 | EriC^^ Hey, I pasted my commands a few hours ago, but it doesn't matter anymore... it just got responsive after not doing anything to it... I guess I didn't reboot it enough times xD | 22:06 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, hehe i tried archlinux I felt like a true command line h@xX0r but damn as a daily driver i think it may take me a week to setup, Xubuntu feels right i guess just what i need, maybe ill poke around with LXDE to | 22:06 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: There might be something that is already built on Ubuntu with LXDE on top of it, check Distrowatch. | 22:07 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: It'll save you time. | 22:07 |
| PandaStyle | oh dear, Anyone know an alternative to windows' "snipping" tool really quick? | 22:07 |
| EriC^^ | rigor789: :D | 22:08 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, I have seen Lubuntu, I guess i am inbetween LXDE and XFCE at the moment | 22:08 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Snipping? Like, screenshot taking? | 22:09 |
| matrixa1 | somebody, he means this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool | 22:09 |
| PandaStyle | @somebody pretty much yeah, Bonus would be auto upload to say imgur or similar <3 | 22:09 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Shutter. | 22:09 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: It can be configured to upload almost anywhere, if you want it to. | 22:09 |
| Rhapsody | So, I need some help. I installed Ubuntu to my secondary SSD's partition, and it installed fine. Thing is, once I restarted after the install, I went straight to the Windows bootloader (since it gave me the option to boot into Windows 10 or Windows 7, but no option for Ubuntu) | 22:10 |
| Rhapsody | This implies GRUB wasn't installed at all or it doesn't see the partition? | 22:10 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, will take a look thanks! | 22:10 |
| somebody | Rhapsody: You need to install it to the MBR. I guess it wasn't where you looked for it. | 22:10 |
| Rhapsody | I looked for it on that partition, which wasn't correct, then. | 22:11 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: You won't be disappointed, or your money back. Shutter is a monstrous Swiss army knife of screenshot taking. | 22:11 |
| Rhapsody | How do I identify where the MBR was, and is there any way to do it without having to install again? | 22:11 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, Agh! the dreaded attempt to install 2 packages at once hehe anyway around it or should i just wait to install shutter? | 22:12 |
| somebody | ??mbr | 22:12 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, Set the SSD as first read in the bios if not already. | 22:12 |
| PandaStyle | MBR = master boot record | 22:12 |
| somebody | Ughh, wasn't there a bot on #Ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: Not possible, BIOS is locked | 22:12 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, By whom? | 22:13 |
| Rhapsody | It came like that. | 22:13 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Not really. You can queue, but that's about it. | 22:13 |
| Rhapsody | I'd rather not have to delve deeper into this to get Ubuntu working, I just want to get it done, bubbasaures. If I can't re-arrange the boot order, do I have to reinstall Ubuntu or not? | 22:13 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, Can be unlocked the manual or manufacturer can help there, very important access in the end. | 22:13 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, minor issue, but i could live with it, thanks for the help! oh another think actually is there an easy way to "duplicate" a terminal window or just a easy way to open another one | 22:14 |
| PandaStyle | remember im on XFCE | 22:14 |
| think | did someone say my name? | 22:14 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: I don't have experience with the XFCE, but usually, either [Ctrl] + [T], or [Ctrl] + [N] will do the trick. | 22:15 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, The bios controls many things, for one the HD rad at boot, much easier to deal with than reinstalling or monkeying around at half mast getting around it. | 22:15 |

| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: whichever drive is in the bios's boot order is going to be booted | 22:15 |
| NCS_One | hi | 22:15 |
| think | hi | 22:15 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: I'm essentially looking to install GRUB post Ubuntu install, then? | 22:15 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: you need to select the drive that has ubuntu so that grub is loaded | 22:15 |
| EriC^^ | no, ^^ | 22:15 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: That's an impossibility, this is a school laptop. The only reason this is okay is because I can restore the original bootloader when I'm done. | 22:16 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: i don't follow | 22:16 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, well Ctrl + T didnt work but [windows](is there another name seeming as *nix?) + T worked fine | 22:16 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: all you have to do is select the drive which has ubuntu | 22:16 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: I can't unlock the BIOS because it's locked by the school administration. | 22:16 |
| EriC^^ | ( totally reversible by selecting whichever drive you have right now ) | 22:16 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Try opening a help window via [F1] with the apps shortcut list. It helps. | 22:17 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: ok, well which bootloader is being selected right now? win7 or win10's ? | 22:17 |
| === enzo is now known as Guest41482 | ||
| Rhapsody | Win10's, since it overwrote Windows 7's | 22:17 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, There is an per session boot, mine is f12 at powering on, as if you were trying to get to the bios. You choose the boot from this menu. | 22:17 |
| EriC^^ | hm | 22:17 |
| EriC^^ | yeah that too, but you'd have to press it each time | 22:17 |
| PandaStyle | somebody, awesome thanks, btw i xubuntu considered a rolling release? | 22:17 |
| ObrienDave | no | 22:18 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: It's possible for me to boot into a specific device, but NOT a specific partition, via that menu. | 22:18 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: The option to re-arrange the boot order is more than likely in the actual BIOS settings. | 22:18 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: I guess so, not really sure. | 22:18 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: you are booting a specific drive | 22:18 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Wait, no. | 22:18 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, correct your not booting the partition grub is, you want the device grub and ubuntu is on to boot. | 22:18 |
| somebody | PandaStyle: Most Ubuntu derivatives follow it's release schedule. | 22:18 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: you can boot a live usb, and install grub to whichever disk that is being loaded | 22:19 |
| Rhapsody | bubbasaures: Let me set this straight; I installed GRUB on the same partition as I installed Ubuntu on, which was a mistake; it should've been installed to the main partition of the first drive. | 22:19 |
| NCS_One | I changed xorg.conf and forgot to backup the original one, how can I create another? tryed "sudo X -configure" but it gives a error | 22:19 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^: Thank you, that's all I needed. | 22:19 |
| Rhapsody | I'm going to reboot into Ubuntu now. | 22:19 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: you installed grub to the same disk, not partition | 22:19 |
| bubbasaures | Rhapsody, Ah, on the install partition, easy mistake, as suggested you can fix this with a live boot. | 22:20 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: ok, you'll have to mount and chroot | 22:20 |
| Rhapsody | EriC^^:The current bootloader, Windows 7/10's, is on the first drive, which is where GRUB was supposed to be | 22:20 |
| Rhapsody | That's what I was asking how to fix the entire time | 22:20 |
| Rhapsody | Once I reboot into Ubuntu I'll come back on for further instructions, EriC^^, okay? | 22:20 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 22:20 |

| ObrienDave | LinuxWannabe, no, just standard joliet mode will do | 22:40 |
| Finetundra | i'm having an issue that when i try to boot i get as far as the splash screen and then i cannot get my monitor to display | 22:40 |

| Rhapsody | However, when I try to go online or ping a site it times out. | 22:47 |
| squinty | loa: you should be able to install libreoffice via the software manager or apt-get etc. are you sure it's not already installed as it seems to be part of the default installation these days? | 22:47 |
| wjtaylor | squinty: I can't get the machine to boot, and I need a manual to look into jumpers.... | 22:47 |
| wjtaylor | Thanks though | 22:48 |

| squinty | wjtaylor: option = optional | 23:00 |
| loa | squinty, looks like i have hardware problems with data integrity. i run sudo apt-get install libreoffice-writer again and again, and finally it installed. | 23:01 |
| wjtaylor | sqinty: It's kind of an old motherboard. It has sata and pata. HDD is pata, but cannot get the dvddrive (sata) to boot | 23:03 |
| wjtaylor | squinty^ | 23:03 |
| squinty | loa: good to hear on the reinstall. maybe run fsck on your drive to check for problems. might also use the Disks program to check for Smart Data and Selftests to see if it says anything | 23:03 |
| squinty | wjtaylor: guess you have already checked boot preferences in BIOS and/or hot key boot sequence via the computer splash screen when booting (eg F12 for example)? | 23:06 |
| loa | squinty, can you help me in another question. because of that data problems with archieve my ubuntu failed to load. It was very bad because i don't know what to do. Looks like installer don't finished some tasks and dpkg --confugre -a helped me. | 23:07 |
| squinty | wjtaylor: tried another live dvd to eliminate the disk itself? | 23:07 |
| loa | squinty, so i upgrade proccess failed for some reason i must run dpkg --configure -a every time? | 23:08 |
| loa | i am right? | 23:08 |
| wjtaylor | squinty: Yes, checked boot priority and media. I don't see it in the bios though.. should optical drives show? I don't even see anything for sata channels in bios | 23:09 |
| wjtaylor | I see a brief glimpse of the drive being detected during a startup screen, on serial channel 0, but that's it... | 23:09 |
| wjtaylor | wondering if the drive is faulty... it's new | 23:09 |
| wjtaylor | course the board is a pretty shitty old board too. :) | 23:10 |
| squinty | loa: the software will more than likely display that message after the failure. it is not going to, afaik, hurt anything to run that command anyways. | 23:10 |
| Rhapsody | I'm trying to connect to the internet in my new Ubuntu install, but when I connect to my network, it says that it's connected, but I can't even ping Google. | 23:10 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: why are you modifying a school laptop? | 23:11 |
| loa | squinty, so again. Look what happened. I run apt-get upgrade. And after plenty of packages upgrade stucked on libreoffice-writer. I tried to reboot. And system did not load. What was my mistake? | 23:11 |
| squinty | wjtaylor: usually there is a BIOS option to boot from cd/dvd drives even on older equipment. seems strange that is not showing up.. :( | 23:11 |
| loa | looks like some packages was not setuped properly right? | 23:11 |
| loa | and dpkg --configure -a relsolved it? | 23:12 |
| Ali_M_Ahmed | exe.exit | 23:12 |
| Rhapsody | daftykins, all I'm trying to do is boot into Ubuntu via an external SSD. This is already done, and now I have a new problem as stated above | 23:12 |
| Rhapsody | Additionally, the connection worked fine in the live session, but not the install | 23:13 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: uh-huh, use network manager to specify DNS servers manually | 23:13 |
| Rhapsody | daftykins, I have no program called Network Manager | 23:15 |
| Rhapsody | I'm looking at Network in System Settings, though | 23:16 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: it's not a program, kind of, it's the network icon in the tray. | 23:16 |
| squinty | loa: might be you have a corrupted deb package in your cache which the installer tried using again. might want to check /var/cache/apt/archives/ for the relevant libreoffice-writer deb and delete it to elimate it as a potential problem source. then run the sudo dpkg --configure -a again and then try updating again | 23:17 |
| Rhapsody | Done, connection still isn't working | 23:17 |
| Rhapsody | Do I need to reboot? | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Does "ping 8.8.8.8" succeed? | 23:17 |
| daftykins | Rhapsody: what is 'done' ? you need to share the actual actions you took. | 23:17 |
| EriC^^ | Rhapsody: i dont think so, you can reboot the network manager with sudo service network-manager restart | 23:18 |
| Rhapsody | I added the DNS servers like you asked? | 23:18 |
| daftykins | *which* | 23:18 |
| daftykins | you are giving a part answer | 23:18 |
| Rhapsody | Google DNS | 23:18 |
| loa | squinty, i removed package from there few times. | 23:19 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U, I can't copy it, so ill paraphrase the result | 23:19 |
| Rhapsody | 12 packets sent, 9 errors, 100% packet loss | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Ok, that gives me the information I needed. It's more than just a DNS problem. | 23:20 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U, in case you didn't see, the router itself sees the device and it's assigned an VIP | 23:20 |
| Rhapsody | *IP | 23:20 |
| Rhapsody | BUT I can't access the router's panel from the device. | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Try pinging the ip address of your router. Does that succeed (zero or close to it packet loss)? | 23:21 |
| Rhapsody | Failure, Jordan_U, 100% packet loss | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: The entry in your router's control panel may actually be referring to the connection you had while you were booted from the LiveUSB. I'll bet if you disconnected entirely, the entry would still be there. | 23:23 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U, I'm not sure about that, the IP Ubuntu says it has and the IP reported to the router match up | 23:23 |
| squinty | loa: maybe cat /var/log/dpkg.log will say something. might want to try switching servers too to see if that makes any difference | 23:24 |
| ident849384 | ip lease time could account for that Rhapsody | 23:24 |
| Rhapsody | Fair enough | 23:25 |
| Rhapsody | Jordan_U, so what can I do? | 23:25 |
| ident849384 | what device Rhapsody? you can't always access the gateway via wi-fi or web connections for security reasons | 23:26 |
| Rhapsody | It's a laptop | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | ident849384: They can't even ping their router, so there is definitely a connection problem. | 23:26 |
| Rhapsody | A ProBook 6560b, to be exact | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | Rhapsody: Please pastebin the output of "nm-tool", "ifconfig", "ip route", and "dmesg". You'll need to save the output to a flash drive or otherwise get it to a machine that can connect to the internet. | 23:27 |
| ident849384 | Rhapsody: how did you determinte the gateway IP? | 23:28 |
| justicefries | anybody using the google-authenticator PAM module? | 23:28 |
| Rhapsody | It says it in the connection's properties | 23:28 |
