[00:04] maybe doens't display the desktop to save on bandwidth digitsm?

That isn't going to fix all the other vulnerabilities that got patched in 14.04 since 13.10 went EOL, so it doesn't help you much.

I've pasted an explanation here: http://pastebin.com/fZxMn1ku or http://paste.ubuntu.com/8576978/ . Can anyone help me? [02:44] ]I use a live persistent version of ubuntu on a pendrive to do maintenance on my hard drive installation. Till now I have used on pendrive the same 3 years old ISO file that I have used for installation (same version/locale/etc). It's safe if I use a more updated ISO on my pendrive to do maintenance on desktop installation? (E.g.: system on hard drive installed with ISO: [ ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso, 2-3 years ago] and latest ISO [02:45] * and latest ISO on pendrive [ ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso ] ) [02:45] I can't think of any reasons why that would be a bad idea.

This package is being installed through a preseed, and the preseed entry is "d-i sudouser/question1 string" and a variable is passed via command line arguments to the preseed like so: "question1=sudousername".

[04:55] hi [04:56] Chetic: can you try dig youhostname [04:56] Chetic: find out if your dns is providing the ip or did you ping the name and get the correct number? [04:57] sacarlson: dig times out by hostname [04:57] Chetic: ok can you dig some other address like google.com ? [04:57] can you ping 4.2.2.1 [04:57] oh, nvm [04:58] 4.2.2.1 works, but not google.com [04:58] Set a domain name in your hosts file. [04:58] That means your nameservers are probably not set [04:58] Check your /etc/network/interfaces and look for nameservers. [04:58] shouldn't they be set automatically? [04:58] no nameservers in there [04:58] Thats your problem. [04:58] Chetic: ok your dns server is not working. what address is dig useing as your dns server? [04:58] sacarlson, he just said he didn't have any nameservers [04:58] Thats why its not working [04:59] sivik: sorry can't write and read at the same time [04:59] Does anyone know how to enable two-finger clicking on a clickpad?

[05:00] sacarlson sivik why do I suddenly need to set a nameserver? shouldn't dhcp handle that? [05:01] Chetic, because apparently your networking settings didn't set one. === Termana is now known as Guest71685 [05:01] or you can manually add them in the /etc/resolv.conf but they won't stick on reboot or networking restart === PsiOmega is now known as AlphaBeta [05:01] dhcp should be enough. I know it would be if this was a windows machine [05:01] I don't know what dns server address to use [05:02] Just use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 as your nameservers [05:02] Laputa, because [[ x ]] implies there should be more that one term between outer [ ] [05:02] *thank one [05:02] *than one [05:04] sivik: that only solved the issue of connecting to the internet [05:04] So whats the problem now? [05:04] I'm concerned with not being able to connect to a qemu machine [05:04] Can you connect to the qemu machine using an ip? [05:05] yes [05:05] Did you assign a hostname to an IP using a zone file for said qemu server? [05:05] ObrienDave: sorry, i didnt get you. i'm asking because i used to have " [[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources " in my .xinitrc to load customized things. it works on archlinux, but doesnt work on ubuntu 12.04 [05:05] sivik: I don't know what a zone file is, but this has been working before [05:06] Laputa, ubuntu is not arch ;P [05:06] ObrienDave: i'm guessing that maybe xinit is not using bash , so [[ ]] can not be used ? [05:06] i really don't know [05:07] ObrienDave: yeah, just wondering double bracket doesnt work, since single bracket tester works. [05:07] ObrienDave: thanks anyway.

[06:51] sacarlson, oh hey you're right, i just realized the only way to open a folder is to open up the manager myself [06:51] ha, thanks for nothing then, lol [06:52] you could set a program to open that type of file with [06:52] Quatroking: oh wait but when I plug in my phone my file manager does auto start [06:53] its in default programs but I couldnt tell you where that is right now [06:54] sacarlson, oh [06:54] Quatroking: FilthyMacNasty yes I'm sure it's in /etc/defaults.... === sins-_m is now known as sins- [06:57] found it, "xdg-mime default kde4/dolphin.desktop inode/directory" [06:57] anyone got an idea why 14.04 ubuntu-desktop when you open firefox and try to go somewhere it blackscreens and locks up? [06:58] FilthyMacNasty: are you really using both 12.04 and 14.04 and have weird problems on them both? [06:59] I think my problem stems from the 12.04 disk, I think my partner got it from a torrent instead of ubuntu.com [07:00] all the machines have been installed with that disk [07:00] its patient 0 [07:00] FilthyMacNasty, depends on where you get the torrent from [07:00] torrents aren't necessarily bad. verify the md5sum here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [07:00] I'll just burn a new copy from ubuntu.com tomorrow and fix it all [07:01] the sources.list says trukty not trusty [07:01] ok, that could have been user error [07:01] verify the md5s [07:01] what is the best english dictionary for ubuntu?

[07:11] chz, external devices auto-open the default file manager [07:11] Quatroking: just grep -r nautilus * in your home /home/you and you should see where nautilus is used [07:11] in this case, nautilus [07:11] he wants to double click a folder and have it open in file manager [07:12] sacarlson, grep can take a while to run I assume? [07:12] FilthyMacNasty: no I expect he wants to plug in his phone or flashdrive and have it autoopen dolphin instead of nautilus [07:12] Quatroking: that depends on what you have in your home. you can focus on ./config and ./gnome first [07:12] well there is always the pick a file manager and remove the other [07:13] whoami [07:13] youareyou [07:14] youareyou.com [07:14] whois [07:15] FilthyMacNasty: my guess is if you removed nuatilus that if you create new users the default skeloton configs might change but accounts that already exist will still have nautilus in them [07:16] purge? [07:16] just removed nautilus [07:17] I typically have a written plan of what I want installed and rarely uninstall anything [07:17] Don't trust Paypal. They can freeze your account and steal your money. http://imagebin.org/321673 [07:17] Quatroking: my guess is now that nautilus is removed you just won't have an auto start of any filemanager for a usb flash drive. so try plug one in and find out [07:17] welp, it now opens up disk usage analyzer [07:17] how helpful [07:18] Quatroking: is that when you plugin a flash drive?

I didn't think of that one [07:49] test [07:50] !test | sunan [07:50] sunan: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [07:50] Haha [07:50] I just use test to test if I can send a message [07:51] sunan: next time you can use #test [07:51] what would trusty be doing in 12.04 sources.list? [07:51] FilthyMacNasty: you've already done this hear earlier [07:51] *here [07:51] I'm just curious why someone would do that [07:52] FilthyMacNasty: moot question given what you said were your circumstances earlier. [07:52] point [07:52] FilthyMacNasty: if you've got a dodgy install and you're going to replace it with an official install to be sure, then do that [07:53] already on the way [07:53] #test [07:53] makes me question what else is hosed with it [07:55] is there a way to do a network install of ubuntu? [07:55] ie I aint got a blank cd handy [07:56] hi guys. i'm not sure if this question is right, but hopefully you will get it: on which debian version runs ubuntu 14.04? [07:57] FilthyMacNasty: there used to be a method with a like 10m iso file to fully install ubuntu from an online source [07:57] theyre cousins, not husband and wife [08:02] FilthyMacNasty: the other method I have used is install with pxe over localnet with no iso at all on the target. just bare metel intall with a bios that supports pxe [08:02] yeah I got discs at the shop, guess it will be tomorrow [08:02] now more brainbleach === tvoss|food is now known as tvoss === wiky_ is now known as wiky [08:08] /load .xchat2/budus.so [08:10] wtf [08:10] Ello everyon [08:11] hello again Agent_Sm1th_BR [08:11] err agent_white [08:11] \o [08:14] so many agents [08:16] I am white of the agents. [08:18] hi [08:18] hey guys is docker on ubuntu 14.04 broken? no problems on my arch but if I use either ubuntus repos or the docker.io one, it cn't create virtual network interface at docker0 and fails miserably [08:18] i just created a backup of my rootfs with tar -cvpf , however the backup is a bit smaller than the rootfs, should i worry? or is that normal? [08:20] is there a recommend way how to "copy" my ubuntu installation to a new workstation? http://eggsonbread.com/2010/01/28/move-ubuntu-to-another-computer-in-3-simple-steps/ says I could use sudo dpkg --get-selections | sed "s/.*deinstall//" | sed "s/install$//g" > ~/pkglist [08:20] but if I'm not wrong this would also copy the graphical drivers etc [08:20] and my new workstation has a completly different working shape (new processor ofc, new graphic card, ddr3) [08:21] hello [08:21] does anyone have any idea why would php5-cli show different php version then the actual php version on the server ? [08:21] Fohlen: you could use tar/cp to copy everything over and then rewrite the bootloader/mbr [08:22] g44: mhm, I would be fine with doing a fresh installation and copying all the stuff, but I don't know what to do about the packages [08:22] and sorting them by hand may take hours or days [08:22] :D [08:23] Fohlen: I"m not sure about recomended but you should be able to just cp -a from one root to another root of your target disk. it would think both disks would have to be offline like boot from cdrom [08:23] Fohlen: if the above command works and reinstalls all packages you can use it i guess :) [08:23] can anyone advise when 'add-apt-repository cloud-archive:juno' will work per the openstack install guide for ubuntu trusty 14.04 LTS? [08:23] it = I [08:24] shane_: PPAs aren't supported here at all [08:24] hi - just seen 14.04 has another libssl update -> 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7 is this just related to the poodle attack or are there other issues fixed also ? [08:25] Fohlen: In the future, look to separating /home and /usr into separate partitions. [08:25] agent_white: in how far does that solve my problem of copying all my packages to a new system? [08:26] I have no trouble with copying ~ to the new computer ofc, just wanna keep my software [08:26] but the command mentioned above will also install my old nvidia driver to the new system, which is pointless [08:26] kinda. [08:26] Fohlen: From http://tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/install-partitioning.html [08:26] Fohlen: then edit the resulting text file and remove the ones you dont want to install? [08:27] "most of the binary files required by Linux, as well as any locally installed software, web pages, Squid proxy cache, Samba share services, some locally-installed software log files, etc. are stored here." [08:27] maybe that would be best. [08:27] Fohlen: as I think about the complications of the cp -a method. that would not install the needed grub mbr and I would think the uuid in fstab would not match so they would have to be modified manualy [08:27] yeah [08:28] you could use FOG [08:28] Fohlen: that will install the packages & their dependencies [08:28] this post here, http://positon.org/clone-a-linux-system-install-to-another-computer, describes a different approach which does what you described [08:28] Fohlen: that means if you uninstall a package, the dependencies will remain since they weren't pulled in by the package itself [08:28] ( and the list is going to be huge ) [08:29] Fohlen: use this instead comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u) [08:29] it will compare with the original packages installed and leave you with almost only the ones you installed yourself [08:29] Fohlen: Also, it's _generally_ good to just re-install the packages. You could also look into provisioning software, like Puppet and Chef. [08:31] Fohlen: ya that looks like it would work in very good detail [08:31] EriC^^: nice, this one is awesome. [08:31] actually gotta strip the linux/headers packages, because the new fresh installation will replace them anyways, but the rest is insane! [08:32] Fohlen: the other method I've used in the past was just dump a list of all installed packages that makes a script that will auto install them on the running target machine. This is not as exact as you will end up with differnet version at times on each of them [08:33] sacarlson: yes + what I mention above [08:33] if you copy linux/image/headers and graphic driver packages you will result in a huge buggery :D [08:33] never do that, compile/install them in time on the running host [08:34] may sometimes work for server hosts, but the recommend approach is to keep the headers previously installed [08:35] Fohlen: if you cloned it with that link method I don't see any problems with headers and video drivers , other than maybe the needed drivers on the target are still not present [08:35] Fohlen: it should be posible to fallback to standard video drivers until you install the needed video on the target [08:36] Fohlen: If you plan on doing this more than once, I would still recommend some provisioning software. Learn Puppet then you'll thank yourself later. [08:37] agent_white: thank's, seems for what I'm looking for [08:37] I previously used http://www.stephenlang.net/2012/06/full-server-rsync-migrations/ for servers, and it should also be working for desktop machines if you copy the home folder [08:37] Fohlen: Look into that or Chef. (if you prefer ruby) or fabric for python. [08:38] neither ruby nor python [08:38] :D [08:38] ;P Well I would still recommend either. Puppet is BIG in the sysadmin realm. [08:38] Add Vagrant into it, and you got workstation provisioning. [08:40] hi [08:41] Hello guys [08:42] I have problem: I have installed ubuntu on board but I need to create ntfs partition. So I'm using live cd, but after boot I don't have option: try ubuntu but only recovery mode [08:43] after resuming from suspend, I get a "xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Not enough bandwidth on HS bus for newly activated TT." error message, and can't use my mouse anymore. I successfully removed that module with rmmod -f xhci_hcd, but I can't load it back with `modprobe xhci_hcd` (nothing happens). Anybody knows how to reload that? [08:43] agent_white: I just looked at puppet. I think I've attempted to use this or something like it in the past but failed. It would be worth learning if you had 10 or more systems to setup I guess. otherwise the learning curve may not be too short === Daemoen_ is now known as daemoen === mk3548208_ is now known as mk3548208 [08:44] sacarlson: Aye, it is definitely an investment. But I actually only have 4 servers I manage, but it still makes it REALLY easy to keep track of packages across all systems, and easily deploy a new one :) [08:45] I agree though. Learn it if you have time, and it'll pay off in the long run. Otherwise, scripts work as well :) [08:45] agent_white: ya for continued support I guess it would also be a benifit [08:45] of a group of machines [08:46] Indeed. Not to mention, they have a little "intro to Puppet" with VM's you download to follow along. You'll have a managed MOTD in an hour :) [08:46] Query: One does not need to chroot to edit a remote system's FSTAB correct? [08:47] Sachiru: correct [08:47] agent_white: I think the one I looked at in the past it was suposed to fully automate from bare metal install of a group of systems with pxe installs without touching them [08:47] The intention is to migrate from small HDD partition to larger, dedicated SSD [08:48] Does Clonezilla clone UEFI/Grub? [08:49] sacarlson: Ahhh. Wouldn't be hard to add PXE into the equation. Just PXE to image the bare OS, then Puppet to install all the software :) [08:50] agent_white: it was an all in one package you just configured the systems bios to boot pxe pluged them in to the localnet and turn it on and move to the next [08:51] agent_white: but I assume now most is done on virtual servers that most never see [08:52] sacarlson: Ahhh. I only did that with Windows when I worked as a refurb tech. [08:52] Never tried the same with linux ;) [08:52] 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? [08:59] Greetings. Could someone explain why doing a "ls -ld /" outputs just one line? [09:00] Varro: that is the expected output [09:00] Varro: because that is what you told it to do.. check the ls man page [09:00] ls -al / if you want everything in / [09:00] PAJEROS [09:01] YOU ARE BITCH [09:01] quit [09:01] k1l: How about `ls -ld */` [09:01] so.. ls -ld lists the info of that directory only? not the contents of that directory? [09:02] Yes. "*/" matches all subdirectories of the current directory. [09:02] */ is a lot different from / [09:02] make it /*/ if you mean the root directories [09:03] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14352290/listing-only-directory-using-ls-in-bash [09:03] agent_white: */ only works if you are in /. if you are in /home you see the directories in /home with */ [09:05] so how do I ls all files on / including subdirs, without counting the directories as a separate entry? [09:05] k1l: ? [09:05] k1l: It works everywhere. [09:05] Not sure what you mean. [09:05] not if you're trying to list stuff in / [09:06] Varro: what do you mean "without counting the directories as a separate entry"? [09:06] agent_white: ls -ld */ prints the actual directory, not / [09:07] k1l: Oh! I mean `ls -ld /*` [09:07] ;) [09:08] Varro: maybe with find . ; that should provide you a list of files and all recursive file contents of the present directory [09:08] Ben64: count the # of files you got on the computer, not counting directories [09:08] sacarlson: yeah find is ok, but is it possible doing the same with ls? === corey84_ is now known as corey84 [09:08] Or I guess `find /path/to/dir/ -type d -print` works as well. [09:09] Varro: find . -type f -ls | wc -l [09:10] yes k1 is corrrect and no as far as I know you can't filter directory in recursive mode with the ls command [09:10] so listing all files except directories is not possible with ls? [09:10] Hi [09:10] why not just use find? [09:11] Varro: the find function is more tuned for that perpose and is used in maybe bash scirpts [09:11] maybe = many [09:12] find solves it jsut fine. im just curious if I can achieve the same thing with ls. [09:12] Varro: Best to use "find" at that point. [09:12] Varro: time to check the ls manpage then [09:12] (find all files recursively in current directory) == `find ./ -type f -print` [09:12] Varro: maybe you could in a script that would require 4 more lines in it to grep filter out then directory entrys and other crap [09:13] Varro: it can be done but why would you when we already have tools to do it easier [09:14] Varro: also find is preinstalled at boot so no added packages are needed to use it [09:17] we got a case at school where it asks us to count every file on the computer. and as a tip it says use ls and set recursive). so basically ls -lR /* | wc -l > output But that counts directories aswell, which will give you the wrong answer. [09:17] *ls -laR [09:17] so you want us to do your homework === ubuntu is now known as Guest35462 [09:17] where am I? [09:18] Ben64: ha ha ya the lazy persons way to do homework these days [09:18] Guest35462: the Ubuntu support channel, on Freenode [09:18] cool [09:18] Varro: so they just want to force you to write a bash script to do it the hard way so you can learn to think [09:19] Ben64: don't be condecending. I've read the man page, and there's nothing in there to exclude directory entries. But im no guru at linux, so that's why i came here to ask if there's anything I'm missing. [09:19] sed, cut, grep, awk [09:20] Varro: i think that is more a task for #bash since its going to far for ubuntu support since we already gave you a working solution [09:21] Varro: ya you could write a script in bash with grep filters and such but it would be a chalange. but I guess that's why your teacher gave it to you [09:22] alright. Thanks anyway :) [09:22] Varro: bring us back your results if you don't flunk out [09:23] Varro: I'll bet you could also do it in a single line in a shell with pipes and ; [09:23] Varro: you could do it in a million ways [09:23] hi !

[09:55] cajo, if you installed via software center, kill that one [09:55] Sulamif, OK, no old kernels available = my theory was wrong. [09:56] cfhowlett, thanks it worked to kill the process. Hope my Xubuntu is still alive. Will reboot now. Thanks anyway for your help [09:57] cajo, happy2help [09:57] cfhowlett, I tried Alt+Ctrl+F1 on login screen, it loaded with a delay, I enter my login (which was on login screen) and correct password. It states: Login Incorrect. [09:57] !password | Sulamif, [09:57] Sulamif,: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes.

[10:07] hi i have step7 basic software working in windows and i wanna interfacewith linux ,is der any possible ways? [10:08] ubottu step7 [10:08] pk___, step7???? [10:08] simatic step 7 basic plc softwarte [10:10] !wine | pk___ maybe but there seem to be linux step7 downloads available [10:10] pk___ maybe but there seem to be linux step7 downloads available: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [10:11] no i tried in wine but it was not possible [10:11] pk___, ask the publisher. [10:12] hello. with ufw, its the first rule that gets matched wins, right? [10:16] is der any chances of using step7 in linux [10:17] pk____, no word of success anywhere that I've seen. demand linux from the publisher or use a FOSS alternative. [10:17] cfhowlett: if only the world worked like that :( [10:17] EriC^^, I put so much time on making a good looking xfce over vnc. I am going to give it up [10:18] mjayk, yeah --- still waiting on my flying car that was promised in 1975 ... [10:18] EriC^^, But I want to consult with you about something, if you have time :) [10:20] hi [10:20] I need Windows and MS Office for my university stuff. So I planned to use Windows on my laptop and ubuntu on my pc and connect to my pc over vnc in Windows to work with linux [10:20] oh now den i have no chance of interafcing with linux:( [10:20] digitsm: sure [10:20] digitsm: don't give up [10:20] I am a heavy linux user, but recently I found out I can't satisfy many needs only by using linux [10:21] cfhowlett: im sorry im still working on that [10:21] mjayk, "make it so!" [10:21] but how ca i talk to plc using linux [10:21] EriC^^, For example making powerpoint slides, presentation and like that is much faster on Windows + MS Powerpoint [10:22] digitsm: you can dual boot [10:22] or install cygwin [10:22] EriC^^, Yeah I have both linux and windows on my laptop. But it is very annoying to reboot for every simple task like making a slide [10:22] but how can i talk to plc using ubuntu [10:23] that is my problem [10:23] FilthyMacNasty, cygwin never fills like real linux [10:23] pk, http://www.linux-automation.de/plc/index_en.html [10:23] digitsm: you can use a vm [10:23] digitsm: install win in a vm with a shared folder [10:23] EriC^^, My laptop is not so strong for simultanously running (virtual) windows and linux [10:24] pk, it appears that you cannot. just notice all the links on this topic are quite old. [10:24] but using vm how can i do user interface to linux:( === tcpman is now known as Guest83455 [10:24] vmware [10:24] EriC^^, A dual core laptop (intel core2due) with 4GB RAM. It will make both linux and windows slow [10:25] I tried it before [10:25] digitsm: hmm [10:25] i have a i7 [10:25] by using libnodave only s7300 and s7200 works [10:25] so go buy a $50 dual core tower and put it on your network [10:25] but i am using s71200 plc [10:25] EriC^^, Could you run windows smoothly as a VM in your linux? [10:25] i think win and linux should be fine [10:26] digitsm: yes it runs fine [10:26] as well as another vm sometimes too [10:26] the fan turns on === corey84_ is now known as corey84 [10:26] but other than that it feels as usual [10:26] digitsm: it depends on things - it's not a black and white answer [10:26] digitsm: yes it depends on what you're running === Owner_ is now known as Guest61833 [10:26] EriC^^, Oooh! A powerfull system. Do you run a win xp? (because running a win7/8 in a vm is very heavy) [10:26] if it's only slides and such it'll be ok i think [10:27] digitsm: no, win8 [10:27] why not use openoffice impress? [10:27] i also dual boot, but like you im lazy [10:27] FilthyMacNasty, I used libreoffice a long time [10:27] :) [10:27] It really sucks [10:27] openoffice impress is better [10:27] I even wrote my BSc thesis with libreoffice writer [10:27] But impress is very bad [10:29] FilthyMacNasty, Some problems for a presentation in linux: 1. while showing slides it will go to screensaver! 2. when connecting a projector it won't make both screens the same resolution (you have to do it manually which takes time) [10:29] I guess its what you learn to use well [10:29] no, it's not [10:29] digitsm: not all [10:29] it's nothing to do with "learning" [10:29] the tools are not up to the same standard as microsoft, and have compatability issues, [10:29] digitsm: in enlightenment, when the screensaver comes and you remove it it asks if you're doing a presentation or what [10:29] 3. There are many ready templates for MS Powerpoint [10:29] digitsm: use what you feel is best for your needs, [10:29] hello, would anyone know blocking an Ip via ufw or iptables would still be letting traffic in from the source ip? [10:29] I run trivia nights with 2 projectors almost every weekend with impress [10:30] prawnsalad: it's not blocked [10:30] prawnsalad: if you've blocked it, it won't be allowing taffic in [10:30] hello [10:30] i have double boot, when i instaled Lubuntu i had windows xp sp2. Later i was replace windows xp sp2 (with norton ghost) with windows xp sp3 and i have error - when Lubuntu is starting there is message that it can't recognize partition where is windows and ask me if i want to wait or skip mounting, i used NTFS configuration tool and partition is mounted in system, but i still have that message when starting Lubuntu. How to fix this? [10:31] FilthyMacNasty, trivia nights? [10:31] ikonia: that much i got. however ufw has a rule in first its position that says it *should* be denying traffic. and i also see the rule in iptables INPUT chain [10:31] What is this? [10:31] the source IP has been copy/pasted from logs, it is definitely correct [10:32] a 3 hour presentation where people answer trivia questions for prizes [10:32] prawnsalad: what is the rule - can you show me the rule (use a pastebin please) [10:32] EriC^^, I use xfce4 not enlightment [10:33] FilthyMacNasty, I like to make impress my default app, but it takes more time. e.g. there are very less templates for it [10:34] digitsm: the bug seems to have been fixed [10:34] digitsm, impress can use wps and windows templates ... [10:34] FilthyMacNasty, And how do you make all displays the same resolution [10:34] cfhowlett, it can but with defects [10:34] suncokret: so lubuntu still boots ok then? do you have it mounting a disk in /etc/fstab that is no longer a ext2 partition? [10:34] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/hDAbeLFv [10:34] e.g. the bullets will be broken [10:34] etc. [10:35] it's easier to make your own template rather that fix an uncorrectly imported powerpoint template [10:35] ufw rule, iptables rule, how im still seeing the traffic, and a syslog mention [10:35] each one has its own resolution I have a 120" screen and a 300 inch screen [10:36] FilthyMacNasty, Ooh! So you don't mirror the displays? [10:36] prawnsalad: is there a UFW rule that says "open port 80" [10:36] as that maybe overriding your rule [10:36] digitsm: in the display settings i think there should be "mirrored displays" on xubuntu, ubuntu has it [10:36] prawnsalad: I don't see it in your iptables output === rotzbub__ is now known as rotzbub [10:37] EriC^^, Yeah there is, but every display will have a different resolution [10:37] digitsm: otherwise i guess you could make a script that uses xrandr to set stuff up when a projector is plugged in [10:37] prawnsalad: you do seem to have "any any" rules open before the drop [10:37] so it looks like it maybe pattern matching the first rule before the drop [10:37] I use the same resolution on both and use the projectors to size the displays [10:37] Which results in cropped desktop in lower resolution display [10:38] EriC^^, Hmmm! writing a script! [10:38] good idea [10:38] prawnsalad: sorry, miss-read thats the drop rule [10:38] ikonia: prawnsalad: ya I guess we don't know what's in those pretables, so if you just insert the drop before them instead of put it at the end I guess it should work [10:38] xrandr can also be used to scale it mmmmm [10:39] prawnsalad: for a test, do a flush all then just add the drop rule then you'll see it working [10:39] sacarlson: in ufw or iptables? right now it is the very first rule in ufw - which according to docs should match first [10:39] prawnsalad: I'm not familiure with the workings of ufw, I'm old school with iptables [10:40] FilthyMacNasty, but you have to set same resolution for both projectors manually. which takes some time. not as easy as pressing super+p [10:40] sacarlson: ok, whats the easiest way to insert the iptables rule in first position? [10:40] prawnsalad: you could maybe just add another insert with iptables [10:40] im not familiar with iptables other than _L :) [10:40] sacarlson, lubuntu boot fine, but i have that warning message about partition where is xp. after replacing xp sp2 with xp sp3 i had some error message after grub menu when i choose xp, but xp was start fine, and i fix that with grub customizer [10:40] my projectors have size and focus functions [10:41] they will both do 300 inches I just use one on a 120 inch screen [10:41] suncokret: ok so problem solved I take it [10:42] prawnsalad: let me look at my old stuf to make up a line that should insert. I'm not sure how it will work along with ufw as maybe ufw will override it [10:42] no, there was 2 problems, i solve first with grub custimizer, but i didn't solve second problem :) [10:43] FilthyMacNasty, Let me explain more. I have a 1680x1050 laptop display. But my projector (at university) has is 1024x768. When I connect the projector I have to manually lower my laptop display to 1024x768, otherwise my desktop will be shown cropped on the projector [10:43] sacarlson, this is second problem: when Lubuntu is starting there is message that it can't recognize partition where is windows and ask me if i want to wait or skip mounting [10:44] digitsm: mirrored displays should use the same resolution for both displays [10:44] FilthyMacNasty, And lowering my resolution manually will take time, which is high for a 20min presentation [10:44] well I did a little homework and bought a laptop with the same resolution as my projectors [10:44] it's odd that it doesn't [10:45] EriC^^, No it doesn't. (I use xfce4 and nvidia xserver settings) [10:46] FilthyMacNasty, :)) The problem is that you don't always know resolution of the projector. For example in an invited talk [10:46] EriC^^, yeah it's odd [10:46] true, I bring my own equipment for my shows [10:47] prawnsalad: I'm not totaly sure of this but you can try this sudo iptables -I INPUT -s 50.18.210.65 -j DROP [10:47] FilthyMacNasty :)) oooooh! [10:47] they pay me $500 a night for a trivia night [10:47] sacarlson: ive managed ot get this rule as the first in the INPUT chain. is that what you were suggesting? DROP all -- ec2-50-18-210-65.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com anywhere [10:47] prawnsalad: that should insert it above all and drop all source ip of 50.18.210.65 [10:48] FilthyMacNasty, OK! it's your business, no a quick talk you want to show to students [10:48] *not [10:48] not a bad deal filthymacnasty [10:48] sacarlson: ah cool, same command i got, but i added a 1 after INPUT [10:48] but even with that, traffic still comes in [10:48] prawnsalad: like I said I'm not familure with the ufw format . if you show me the results it creates in iptables -L I could tell you [10:49] it's a long process developing the presentation [10:49] 100 trivia questions not too hard, not too easy and all the answers researched [10:50] sacarlson: the full INPUT chain, http://pastebin.com/Rg36iaNy [10:50] prawnsalad: a 1 after in put? maybe an i for input device [10:50] prawnsalad: yes that looks like it should work [10:51] http requests are still coming in from that source though [10:51] slam port 80 shut [10:51] prawnsalad: try sudo iptables -v -L you should see the number of packets the get droped [10:52] hi [10:52] prawnsalad: not sure how it could get past it now maybe preroute [10:53] prawnsalad: maybe more detail with iptables -v -t nat -L ; iptables -v -t mangle -L ; but I think they also created custom tables in ufw [10:54] pull the network cable, the ultimate firewall [10:54] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.23 80] [10:54] Err http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main mysql-client-core-5.5 i386 5.5.38-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 [10:54] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80] [10:54] Err http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main mysql-client-5.5 i386 5.5.38-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 [10:54] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80] [10:54] E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-5.5/mysql-client-core-5.5_5.5.38-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80] [10:54] MMukherjee you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted === Owner is now known as Guest51548 === blackdragon is now known as Guest69160 === enzo is now known as Guest29641 [10:55] ahh! i apologies sacarlson, had just realised that my access log IPs are rewritten from cloudflare. so that IP will not actually be the source >.< [10:55] explains all the confusion.

It's a .mp4 file. Any tips? [12:20] Narwhaal: hmm, and you've tested the 13.04 DVD still boots fine? [12:20] drussell, yes [12:20] israel: I mean that it shows only 3GB when checking the details of my installation. [12:21] ping ? [12:21] Narwhaal: which image are you downloading/burning? [12:21] elfranne: pong [12:21] drussell, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [12:22] drussel: thx ... testing a new irc client [12:22] Narwhaal: sure, but which specific image, what is the full filename [12:22] ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [12:22] MD5 is 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd [12:23] cjdm: ok... hmmm I am not sure why... did a previous version show you have more? [12:24] israel: is a new memory, I replace one of 1GB with a new one of 2GB [12:25] cjdm: Oh, ok, so you upgraded the computer after it already has Xubuntu installed, right? [12:25] israel: Yes. [12:26] israel: do you think I have to reinstall? [12:26] cjdm: not at all [12:26] No [12:26] drussell, I'm just gonna redownload everything [12:26] I cba anymore :/ [12:27] Narwhaal you can use zsync instead [12:27] the md5sum matches http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/MD5SUMS so I don't see any point in redownloading [12:28] geirha, I mean redownload everything, anti-virus, burn software; hell, even Windows if I have to [12:28] seems to be more a problem with my computer [12:29] Narwhaal: Have you tried with USB though? [12:29] Narwhaal is your BIOS setup to boot from CD/DVD first? [12:29] geirha, yes [12:29] israel, yes [12:29] :) just checking [12:30] I see. weird that 13.10 would work but not 14.04.1 [12:30] I've installed and updated my Ubuntu for ~ 5 or 6 years now ^^ [12:30] I've not tried 13.10, only 13.04 [12:30] cjdm: I know it can be done, just can't think off the top of me head right now... other than rebooting so the kernel can reload everything... [12:31] anyone can give me link to raid + preseed + ubuntu in detail? [12:31] with actual real examples? [12:33] israel: thanks, I been reading some posts about it and nothing seems to help my case. Thank's anyway. === mac_nibblet is now known as Guest76693 [12:43] Narwhaal: does the system have a make an model? [12:56] Hey all [12:57] ActionParsnip, what do you mean ? my actual computer ? [13:01] Hey. I have an HP Pavilion laptop here running Ubuntu 14.04. Whenever it is not plugged in, the maximum brightness lowers. To be clear, brightness control does work, but only up to a limited amount. [13:01] Any ideas on how to increase the maximum brightness while on battery? [13:01] (the brightness bar still maxes out, but the brightness it's at at that point is significantly lower than when it's plugged in) [13:03] Hello [13:03] Could someone help me? [13:04] ibsin: Just ask your question ;) [13:04] ibsin: we don't know === ryu is now known as Guest48409 [13:05] I wqas using Unity Tweak Tool, and switched the icon theme. And now, even after removing hte theme, the cursor is still stuck on that theme. Can someone help me revert it back to the default? [13:05] does anybody know a website with ssh lessons on linux terminal, security and stuff? [13:06] I solved my issue btw, it was not Ubuntu-related but was a Catalyst Control Center setting. Cheers! [13:06] in any lesson you would have to login to a server, through ssh, and use some commands, manipulate some files and find the password for the next level [13:06] zadock: Try asking ##security or something, its not really an Ubuntu thing. [13:06] ibsin, search dash for appearance and change your theme back from there [13:07] It's on the default theme right now [13:07] zadock, that's kinda generic question. Normally you approach a problem, like "I want to do that", and then find how to do it. But just something about "security", it's a bit vague. Is this for you or for somebody else? [13:07] The cursor is still stuck though [13:08] vocx, it's for me [13:08] ibsin, try to change to another theme from there and then change back [13:08] This why I don't use the themes xD [13:08] i can't remember too many details about it. i used to take the lessons on this site, but now i can't find it [13:09] hello there [13:10] Gaaahhh....it's still not working >w< [13:10] basic question, i would like the number of user affected on the group staff, how to do i t? [13:11] ertyui what group staff? affected by what? [13:11] zadock, you mean you were already doing this in a website, and now you forgot? I see. Well, I think the best thing to do is to practice, that is, to actually have a server running and stuff. If you just test it once or twice through lessons, but you are not really going to use it, then yeah, it may be entertaining for a while, but do you really need it? [13:11] Cause, I know that the cursor is white, and it's not right now, even with switching it back and forth. And the loading icon is....some small watch, like I think from the Macbuntu theme I installed, but got rid of [13:12] number of users affected on group staff in linux ? [13:12] vocx, i guess i don't really need it. it was just a fun way to learn that stuff [13:13] zadock, yes, I kinda understand what you mean. If you have the time it's good, but for example, I don't have so much time, so I forget every time how to secure copy, so I just check every time online how to do it, and so. [13:13] is there away to setup a reverse proxy which allows the incoming connection to use a self signed cert. However when the proxy goes to the backend service to use a client certificate? [13:14] Anyone? [13:15] ibsin, well that does have to do with the theme [13:15] vocx, i see. well, it seems i found it. this is what i was talking about: http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ [13:15] I know, and it' weird that it's stuck like this and not reverting back [13:15] ibsin mactheme and removal cause issues, i think time to reinstall [13:15] so chaning your theme back should definetly work [13:15] Reinstall what? [13:16] Reinstall the theme? Or....the whole system? === user__ is now known as DhcpIssues [13:17] ibsin, you can always, go into nautilus and erase the settings folders [13:17] I can? owo [13:17] ibsin, that would reset all your settings to default [13:18] Where do I go to do that? And, will it endanger the system at all that I'll have to fix something? [13:18] mac theme goes deeper than that, the price for blasfemie [13:18] Hello all, I am trying to configure my ubuntu unit as a router. All went well but my dhcp doesn't seems to work. If I try to connect a laptop to the internal address then no DHCP lease is given to it. I tried rebooting and changing the subnet but that doesn't seem to work. [13:19] ibsin, go into nautilus press CTRL + H to view your hidden folders, press ctrl +A to select all your folders and then deselect .mozilla documents, pictures and all other folders you want to keep [13:20] ibsin, but keep in mind anything you don't deselect will be moved to the trash [13:21] Well, how will I get those folders back after deleting them? [13:21] ibsin, logout. login. files will reset [13:21] DhcpIssues: how did you setup the dhcp server? (did you edit a config file? if so, post it) [13:22] DhcpIssues use a pastebin for multiple line pastes [13:22] Wait...so, I delete those folders, logout, and they'll be fixed? [13:22] ibsin, yep. [13:22] ibsin, you don't need too, Ubuntu will recreate them for you, but as I said, remember to deselect .mozilla otherwise you will lose your saved passwords [13:23] reboot [13:23] CarlFK: I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router and the configuration from dhcp is http://paste.ubuntu.com/8579099/ [13:23] ibsin, .thunderbird can be useful to backup too, if you use thunderbird [13:24] How do I upgrade FileZilla? I have two .tar.bz2 files but unsure on how to truely update this. Any ideas? [13:24] hello all [13:25] R13ose filezilla is in the repos [13:25] My Ubuntu downloads updates automatically every day. There seems to be way more updates than I ever had to download in Windows 7. Why is this? [13:25] There is always some package/security update/etc. [13:25] I guess its like that no matter what OS I'm running? [13:25] NeoGeo64, because win7 got very poor support compared to ubuntu? [13:26] NeoGeo64 it's called "security" [13:26] I thought Linux was "secure" [13:26] MonkeyDust: yes but this is 3.5.3 when th newest version is 3.9.0.6 [13:26] Is Linux more secure than Windows 7? [13:26] R13ose then contact the maintainer of the version you use [13:26] NeoGeo64, generally speaking yes [13:26] OK great [13:27] NeoGeo64, windows is a much more popular target for malware users [13:27] *abusers* [13:27] I'm actually running a variant of Ubuntu called Mint [13:27] im really happy with linux [13:27] NeoGeo64 mint has its own channel [13:27] NeoGeo64 and read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus#Possible_reasons_linux_is_less_prone_to_malware [13:27] i use ubuntu for my server [13:27] MonkeyDust: okay I will do that [13:28] Ubuntu is way better than WIndows Server [13:28] !server | NeoGeo64, [13:28] NeoGeo64,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

I can boot from iso files, everthing is perfect. THough loading the iso takes time, so I opied all the iso's content on my usb stick and modified the syslinux.cfg file to take this into account. On the syslynux documentation, I read "APPEND root=/dev/sda1". Does it mean that the root directory for the new boot will be "/dev/sda1"? If so, [13:28] since I am booting form my usb, how can I write the "APPEND root=/dev/sdX" ? I mean it is not ffixed, sometimes my usb will be on "/dev/sdb", another time it will be /dev/sdc". [13:29] hi guys [13:29] here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/syslinux#Kernel_parameters [13:30] Hey, thanks, it worked c: [13:30] i'm setting up backupninja [13:30] NeoGeo64, the reason that you see that many security updates in Ubuntu is that they update it as soon as a security hole is found,Microsoft only updates Windows once a month :-) [13:30] and when i'm executing it, it doesn't do anything [13:30] ibsin, of course it did ;-) [13:31] log is ok: [13:31] Oct 06 01:00:01 Info: >>>> starting action /etc/backup.d/20.mysql (because current time matches everyday at 01:00) [13:31] Oct 06 01:00:01 Info: <<<< finished action /etc/backup.d/20.mysql: SUCCESS [13:31] Oct 06 01:00:01 Info: FINISHED: 1 actions run. 0 fatal. 0 error. 0 warning.

[13:33] how do I debug a problem with udev and my ethernet device being named /dev/p4p1 instead of /dev/eth0? /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is being ignored, I think [13:33] it's a remote server, so if I get it wrong I can't access the system again after reboot [13:35] NelsonMinar: is it still working now? if so, if it aint broke don't fix it [13:36] sacarlson: it's working now, but I worry it won't next time it reboots. The 70-persistent-net.rules says to name it eth0, but it's running as p4p1. [13:36] NelsonMinar there's alos #ubuntu-server [13:36] I think installing biosdevname may have been what broke it. Does that change how Ubuntu boots? === PsiOmega is now known as AlphaBeta [13:37] !find biosdevname [13:37] Found: biosdevname [13:39] my working theory is that Ubuntu's boot sequence is different if that program is installed, but I have no evidece for it [13:39] LBreakout2 is the best game for Linux ever [13:40] NelsonMinar: maybe you could setup a virtualbox on your local machine setup in the same manner that you can experiment with, without causing any big problems [13:40] NelsonMinar: otherwise there is no real way to be sure what you try will work or not [13:41] sacarlson: thanks. the docs for this stuff are terribly tangled in Google searches. May also try #ubuntu-server [13:41] NelsonMinar or if you're skilled enough: use a fakeroot [13:41] I just tried to purge and reinstall isc-dhcp-server, this worked succesfully but it doesn't change the issue. I do remember that it started after I switched the two cables. I made eth0 intern and eth1 extern. Is it possible that this is the cause ?

[14:21] Rhapsody: easiest way is to boot up a windows cd and let it install the windows bootloader with fixmbr [14:21] Rhapsody, make an ubuntu USB, boot from USB, navigate to HDD [14:21] kll: I don't have one on hand since I installed Windows 10 via a USB stick, the USB stick I'm now using for a live Ubuntu distro [14:22] Rhapsody, the windows repair tool should re-set the windows bootloader [14:22] hi [14:23] cfhowlett: How am I supposed to access this? I can't run an installation CD of Windows because I installed via USB and I only have one USB stick, which I'm currently using. [14:23] I do have an SD card I'm using to try and run UBC, which is 4GB [14:23] So not large enough for Windows [14:23] Rhapsody, you're going to need the windows stick to reset windows. unetbootin will create one IIRC [14:24] cfhowlett: Unetbootin never works for me, it gives me an error when I try to boot via it, and only via that program [14:24] Is there any way to get to Windows via the GRUB rescue menu?

[14:48] I tried lucky backup at first, whcih has a way more sensible GUI with options, explanations and all. Except when I wanted to run the first backup it claimned that the destination was not mounted (which it totally was, I made sure manually and it still said no) [14:48] om, monkey dust is spot on. terminal is less convenient and requires you to actually think before you execute commands - which is precisely what you should be doing when operating as root.

[14:50] iptable, yes, and the first solution suggested is dejadup. And it has no documentation of its own [14:50] bennypr0fane: rsync as safe as cp -a ? ya it works fine and can be used to move back in time. rsync is cool [14:50] cfhowlett: No, that's forever.

[14:51] bennypr0fane, in terminal, sudo dejadup to run as root [14:51] Romance, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183418 [14:51] Romance, you can also set sudo for your user to never ask for password, although it's not safe [14:51] I'm sure there is any command like netstat administrator(windows) that turn every gui tool run as root [14:51] I know one important con for dejadup already: it's dumb. sometimes Ubuntu has the most useless stuff for default solution. done bitching now [14:51] can anyone help me??? [14:51] gksudo is not installed [14:52] iptable: :o [14:52] iptable, thanks [14:52] bennypr0fane, do you need documentation? "man dejadup" provides it [14:52] !help | Aigeano, [14:52] Aigeano,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:52] @greentree [14:52] Aigeano, you imght make certian you have the graphical version of sudo by doing < sudo apt-get install gksudo> or should that already be installed /wonders [14:52] iptabel i looked at the docu. e.g. it doesn't indicate the location of log files [14:53] @om then try sudo [14:53] r3almode, I don't have gksudo either. I think it's no longer installed by default [14:53] also: ~$ man dejadup [14:53] No manual entry for dejadup :-) [14:53] Actually m having problem after upgrading my ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS [14:53] bennypr0fane, dejadup doesn't save logs anywhere, hence it's not mentioned [14:53] I used to know where my system's log files were located.... and then I installed Samhain.... now I don't even know where they are [14:53] ^_^ [14:54] My login screen just blinks for sometime before it asks for password and this has been having ever since i upgraded.. [14:54] right... error messages are just discarded. I said it's dumb ^_^ [14:54] I get a Error "desktop manager is not active" at startup 14.04 [14:54] iptables thanks for your help though [14:54] bennypr0fane, the link with list I provided, if you visit it, you will note, has a lot more tools [14:54] Aigeano, so you can't login anymore? did you ever manage to login to 14.04? [14:54] @GreenTree: how to find the name of File Manager, i'm on Xubuntu\ [14:55] I want to merge 50GB of unallocated space into another partition in gparted, but the unallocated space is above the partition that I want to merge it into. To my understanding, this means that I can't merge them unless the partition is above the unallocated space. [14:55] What can I do? [14:55] bennypr0fane, also it mentions that dejadup is just a frontend for duplicity (a text tool). So it doesn't log by itself. [14:55] @greenTree it says only File Manager [14:55] I do not understand why gksudo would not be installed by default.... If I am not mistaken it's the official method for super-user do [14:55] yes, eventually i can login after seeing alot of blinking [14:55] r3almode: It wasn't installed by default for me either, actually [14:56] bennypr0fane, grsync is a graphical rsync utility. rsync is very good for backups. Duplicity as well. [14:56] i see. looking at it more, I just thought maybe the first solution, also being Ubuntu's default, should be easy to handle and work well etc. checking out rsync now [14:56] but then after some time my system crases and my consoles get jammed or something and nothing responds [14:56] r3almode, because super user do *should* be done with terminal. [14:56] and apparently for a while there , misconceptions related to the use of sudo led to unstable computers [14:56] cfhowlett, copy that [14:56] Somehow i have managed to delete folder from terminal using rm -rf foldername, still hard from UI [14:56] *the first solution in the list on Ubuntu help pages [14:56] Aigeano, this was a direct upgrade, not a 14.04 clean install, yes? [14:57] @om try sudo thunar [14:57] if you run sudo nautilus for instance... you are going to end up with root owning some of the temp files generated during that nautilus session [14:57] bennypr0fane, it's just the simpliest. in linux you have a choice. all tools are free. you test which one suits you and use that. [14:57] yes , [14:57] if you instead use gksudo that will happen less often [14:57] always use gksudo with GUI tools. use sudo with text tools [14:57] Aigeano, no errors and it actually does login ... not sure where to take this but: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:58] iptable, copy that [14:58] om learning something new can be hard and frustrating, make sure you have backups [14:58] bennypr0fane: what I use that uses rsync is rdiff-back that is cool if you want to explore the past with a file browser you can mount all the history with rdiff-backup-fs /tmp/backup_to_view /mnt/backup_daily/etc [14:58] gksudo does some interesting X session management to NOT compromise security using those tools as root. [14:58] iptable, I must have forgotten that late last night. Why did you just tell me to start a graphical tool with sudo? [14:58] bennypr0fane, which one? dejadup? [14:58] you sure that will help [14:58] iptable, yes [14:59] @GreenTree @MonkeyDust: Yep it works :) [14:59] bennypr0fane, quite simply I didn't realise that it was a GUI tool until I looked it up later [14:59] thunar [14:59] Aigeano, it won't hurt to bring your packages to current release: 14.04.1 [14:59] pretty much anything with a gk in that guy is graphical interface.... [14:59] bennypr0fane, that would be my fault. Can't know all the tools. having said that, a home user's backup utility is hardly a security concern ;) [14:59] @om did that work === PsiOmega is now known as AlphaBeta [14:59] or perhaps I am the victim of a bizarre joke [14:59] ;) [14:59] iptable, security concern? [15:00] but what if my system crases in between the update?? [15:00] @GreenTree: Yes sudo thunar, runs the file manager in root, and i can now delete folder from GUI, Weeee! [15:00] Aigeano, so you *never* update ... ? [15:00] :D [15:00] can anyone help me with installing windows software on ubuntu ?\ [15:00] !wine | skyfall, [15:00] skyfall,: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [15:01] thank you !

[15:01] i use windows in vbox for windows software [15:01] i need to run skype [15:01] no i kept my my system upto date till i had 12.04 after the upgrade i dnt know the status of the packages [15:01] how to make a share on network on ubuntu [15:01] bennypr0fane, if you run online GUI tools using sudo, there are some X session (GUI) compromises that otherwise gksudo secures [15:01] skyfall, skype is available for linux!@ [15:01] thats a very resource intensive sip phone sir :) [15:01] !skype | skyfall [15:01] skyfall: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [15:02] hellow, i have a problem with minimize animation, when I minimize windows they become black... i tried all drivers and surf on a net but no answer found, any help? [15:02] skyfall: skype has a linux version [15:02] hey... somebody had to tell me at some point [15:02] skyfall, install linux version of skype. works well with everything. [15:02] im using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. .i went to the official site of skype but im unable to find the exact version [15:02] iptable, online, as in over the network you mean? [15:02] Greentree, MonkeyDust, kll: Thanks Guys [15:02] skyfall, download and install 12.04 multiarch version [15:02] skyfall, use the ubuntu software center to install [15:03] skyfall, full instruction: download 12.04 multiarch deb. go to command prompt and run: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/your/skype.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [15:03] alright. letme have a try on that one [15:03] I did have to use wine to get the windows version of Line to run. it works ok in text chat mode [15:03] what are the chances that my packages are upto date ,then any alternative solution to my problem?? [15:03] thank y'all for your valuable information [15:03] I have experienced some problems running graphical tool through ssh -X with sudo whc ih were solved by using gksudo. Not security stuff but just plain non-starter [15:03] bennypr0fane, yes. shared workstations, tools that need internet connectivity, stuff like that. [15:04] iptable, got it [15:04] Aigeano what problem was that? [15:04] I was under the impression I would be receiving a penguin for switching over to Linux [15:04] bennypr0fane, that's be3cause sudo tries to run them as root, and root doesn't forward X, only your user has ssh X forwarding setup. gksudo works a bit different. [15:04] i have one more issue with my laptop. My battery is getting drained so fast while using ubuntu. . [15:05] bennypr0fane, gksudo will run the app as root but under YOUR X user session from what I understand [15:05] im having Nvidia Geforce 520mx [15:05] how to make a share on network on ubuntu, previously i was using windows and when i move to ubuntu. after installing ubuntu i make one folder share and thenset my default ip 10.0.0.9 as i was using it in windows but it did not show my share on my other devices or you can say not working properply. even when i try to set my wifi ip to something 10.0.0.9,its simply stop internet connection, and my question how to make a working share and also my internet sh [15:05] ould work after these setting [15:05] skyfall, did you install nvidia proprietary drivers using the restricted (or additional) drivers section of software center? [15:05] skyfall, if not, do it. [15:05] r3almode no, but you do get a virus for switching over to windows [15:05] no .can you briefly tell me how to do it iptable [15:06] Actually i upgraded my sysytem from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS and ever since that m having this blinking problem on my ogin screen and after loging in it crases with consoles getting unresponsive [15:06] is there a way to install the kali-linux tools to an Ubuntu system? [15:06] skyfall, go to ubuntu software centre, click on the drviers tab, choose nvidia driver, click install [15:06] skyfall, more or less. I use linux mint atm so that's from memory [15:06] how to make a share on network on ubuntu, previously i was using windows and when i move to ubuntu. after installing ubuntu i make one folder share and thenset my default ip 10.0.0.9 as i was using it in windows but it did not show my share on my other devices or you can say not working properply. even when i try to set my wifi ip to something 10.0.0.9,its simply stop internet connection, and my question how to make a working share and also my internet sh [15:06] !kali | r3almode, kali isn't supported here.

Dell laptop. You can rebind the key settings or live with it. [15:07] oaulakh: seems it takes time for the shared samba files to be visible on the network. you can connect with a windows box to the ip direct to see the files without waiting for them to be shown on the localnet [15:07] Hi guys. When I try to shutdown, the systems gets stuck on this message: "unregistered_netdevice: waiting for vboxnet2 to become free. Usage count = 1".

[15:08] Aigeano yes? [15:09] any solution to my problem ,on your side?? [15:09] Aigeano remind me... what problem? [15:09] how can I disable ssh without root? [15:09] Actually i upgraded my sysytem from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS and ever since that m having this blinking problem on my ogin screen and after loging in it crases with consoles getting unresponsive. [15:09] oaulakh, note though that if you do it exactly like this, you won't have write access to that share from the network (which the whole point of "securing" it) - just a heads up because I believe that's not how it works in Windows [15:09] i tried switching off my nvidia graphics using bumblebee [15:10] hey guys - the boot-repair graphical tool - is there a text only command line tool that accomplishes the same thing? [15:10] skyfall, what do you mean? for skype? [15:10] Aigeano i had plenty issues too, with 14.04, no solution found, forced me back to 12.04, so i'm no help [15:10] i want both write and read rights [15:10] no. not for skype [15:10] t1608: maybe if you have control of the gateway you could filter port 22 so no access to ssh at least from outside localnet [15:11] which means permission to 766 [15:11] thanks anyway for hearing it out. [15:11] how can I disable someone sshing into my user account without root? [15:11] i am clear about the steps you told me about the skype [15:11] i will change these after i get this done properly :) [15:11] skyfall, for nvidia drivers from command line, you can: sudo apt-get install linux-headers build-essential; sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates nvidia-opencl-icd-331-updates nvidia-prime nvidia-settings [15:11] how can I disable someone sshing into my user account without root? Possibly something in .bashrc? [15:12] im having another graphics problem . .i tried reading FAQ's and ended up switching off my additional graphics memory [15:12] skyfall, for downloads, easy. if ubuntu 14.04 version is there, go for it. if not, go for the latest available [15:12] t1608: otherwise ssh is run as root and there is no way that I know that you could stop it as a none root user on that system [15:12] i used bumblebee [15:12] t1608, you want to enable root-only ssh? security-wise, people normally do it the other way around [15:12] sacarlson: I don't want to kill all ssh, I just want to stop ssh logins with my non root username [15:13] all i need to know whether is it okay to use it ? [15:13] i mean bumblebee [15:13] iptable: I want to stop ssh logins to a user account (but I don't have root to change the ssh config) [15:13] t1608: so do you have control of the gateway? [15:13] t1608, you want to reconfigure ssh without root access on that box? [15:13] sacarlson: no, I don't want to block all ssh, just logins to a specific user [15:14] iptable: yes [15:14] t1608, impossible [15:14] iptable: I disagree [15:14] t1608, hence linux is SECURE. you need root to change ssh configuration. [15:14] iptable: no you don't [15:14] t1608 ask someone who has root access [15:14] t1608, if you have access to the USER you want to ban ssh for, then you could do it (if you want to lock yourself out) [15:15] iptable, are you there ? [15:15] skyfall, do NOT use bumblebee. it's old and buggy. use nvidia-prime [15:15] iptable: yes I want to lock myself out of ssh but not logging in manually on the machine [15:15] t1608: oh a spacific user that you have the password for? even with that I'm not sure how I would attempt it. maybe setup a local alias for ssh so that user when they try to run ssh would run null [15:15] ok. . [15:15] t1608, well, changing shell to lockout completely would work, but you only want to stop ssh for yourself... [15:16] I need to install a bin, how do I do it? [15:17] t1608, the only way to do that with your own account would be to code this into .bashrc. check if the login is a tty or a virtual terminal from ssh and if it's from ssh, terminate. that is NOT foul-proof though and can be circumvented [15:17] iptable: that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of [15:17] i have successed drop data packet use iptables. this is my result: pkts=54,bytes=3240,target=DROP,prot=all,opt=---,in=*,out=* source=0.0.0.0/0,destination=(xx.xx.x.x/x). how to view/see data packet ? [15:17] t1608, the problem is YOU as a USER has no access to ssh configs. by the time your user session is initialised, ssh has already happened. without root access and ssh reconfiguration it cannot be done. [15:18] iptable: that way seems like a hack though, I was looking for the correct way [15:18] iptable: I thought I could put something in .ssh in my home dir or something [15:18] iptable , i have another question too.. is there any need to install internet security or antivirus application in ubuntu ?? am i prone to such attacks ? sorry for asking this as i am new to ubuntu. . [15:18] t1608, the bash configuration with .bashrc is a simple hack option that can be easily gotten around [15:18] !virus | skyfall [15:18] skyfall: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:18] t1608, there is NOT correct solution for that. simple as that. get root access to do that [15:18] *i have successed drop data packet use iptables. this is my result: pkts=54,bytes=3240,target=DROP,prot=all,opt=---,in=*,out=* source=0.0.0.0/0,destination=(xx.xx.x.x/x). how to view/see text in data packet? [15:19] Thank you iptable [15:19] that i mean how to see "bytes=3240"? [15:19] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 with Unity. I'd like to see the contents of /home//Desktop folder on my desktop. But how to do that? [15:19] t1608, you can only disable pubkey auth via .ssh [15:19] by screwing up the permissions [15:19] skyfall, I enabled my firewall. I dist-upgrade regularly. No viruses in the past 6 years [15:20] skyfall, of couurse, YMMV [15:20] how to turn on the firewall cfhowlett ? [15:20] a stupid question: how can I see what name server is really in use? I see nslookup say server is 127.0.1.1...

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [15:20] iptable, thx.

[15:24] i jst want to know how graphic programs are coded in linux [15:24] iptable, is the firewall enabled by default ? [15:24] skyfall, nope. [15:24] skyfall, Dunno. check. it's not a requirement [15:24] oh [15:24] how can i check whether it's on ? [15:24] iptable: (also for nmcli, I didn't know such a thing existed...) [15:24] i want to wnable it [15:24] skyfall, I believe the control center has the option [15:24] can any one suggest a channel [15:24] skyfall, man ufw will tell you all about firewall [15:24] hyde, "Network Manager CLI" ;) [15:24] yep [15:25] akhil, tried ##c ?

[15:28] hyde, you can. how, I dunno [15:28] (or any other way, with NM in use) [15:28] ok, ty [15:28] hyde, dhclient does that [15:28] hyde, sudo dhclient -r; sudo dhclient [15:29] hyde, apparently that's the best way. nmcli would have to down/up the interface [15:30] akhil, the message should give you a clue [15:30] * iptable goes to get tea [15:30] !register [15:30] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[16:12] bmacnaughton, you will get a choice, install ubuntu-desktop [16:12] I want to search for a particular file from a group of files easily and instantly [16:13] tranjeeshan: searching files on disk? i fail to see how this would be better or worse with a given DE [16:13] No. [16:14] Say, I have 10/15 opened PDFs, files, folders etc. [16:14] OerHeks - thanks. I chose that option. Is there someway to switch to the desktop? I tried sudo service lightdm start, but am stuck in single user mode. [16:14] now I want to search open a particular file from these opened files [16:15] tranjeeshan: wmctrl -l -G will list windows and stuff, can probably grep through that for great victory [16:15] bmacnaughton, ctrl alt F7 [16:15] In Unity I can just press Alt and search for the file by typing it's name [16:16] tranjeeshan: i think you should just try others and experiment for yourself, your use case sounds odd to me [16:16] at the console? I tried, no reax. but you're saying that choosing ubuntu desktop should have installed desktop and made it the default for booting? [16:17] bmacnaughton, did you boot after install? [16:17] yes, that's how I ended up in single user mode. [16:17] daftykins, how would you search a particular PDF easily from a large pile of opened files? [16:18] bmacnaughton, then i have no clue :-( [16:18] OerHeks, thanks for your help anyway. Neither do I. [16:18] tranjeeshan: i would never have that much open, and i am fine with task switching so that would be unnnecessary [16:18] Hey folks, we have a 12.04.4 LTS server. ps aux is hanging, top hangs, w hangs, and stopping services (like apache) hang. But, I can do other things like ls, cp, and even mount it over NFS. Any ideas? [16:19] ServerSage: that's slightly out of date if that version # is accurate. sounds like it's resource constrained possibly [16:20] tranjeeshan: pipe lsof for example [16:20] Switching works fine with 3/5 number of files. For 10/15, it would be time consuming [16:21] @Sez, any DE suggestions? [16:21] Terminal would be time consuming in this case [16:22] daftykins: Version number is correct, it's an LTS release, and gets security updates. This started out of the blue. It's not swapping (only 21mb of 3GB swap used). Has about 300mb of memory free. Nothing is in state D. [16:22] tranjeeshan: only as you work out the function the first time [16:22] tranjeeshan: dunno depends on the DE i guess? [16:22] ServerSage: how is disk space? (df -h) [16:23] and if so why bother overhead anyways and do not taskswitch? *eg* [16:23] ServerSage: then it's out of date, 12.04.5 is current [16:23] @Sez, I mean a GUI based DE instead of using terminal would be better [16:23] Roidan: the / partition has 5.5G remaining. [16:23] i got your question you got my answer? [16:23] yeap [16:23] *yep [16:24] daftykins: Ok... [16:25] Serano: do you have any sub-mounts for other paths, or is it all under / ? [16:25] daftykins: After 300+ days of uptime I kind of doubt the server is upset about being a minor revision out of date. :) [16:25] Ughh Wubi you already have a good ISO quit trying to download a new one [16:25] ServerSage: that's not my point, my point is your install isn't up to date [16:25] UseTh3S0urce: we don't support WUBI by the way, i would seriously advise against using it. [16:26] daftykins: Ok, noted. :) [16:26] ServerSage: backup and dist-upgrade it [16:26] Why would you not support Wubi? Page says it is still supported just not windows 8 [16:26] it's an absolute abomination [16:26] It still ships with every ISO for a reason [16:27] it's a seriously bad idea. [16:27] Because the devs still develop it, so don't se why it would not be supported here [16:27] If I had any other means of installation I would [16:27] daftykins: That is seriously the most useless suggestion. Clearly you don't work in industry. [16:27] daftykins: You can't just pull servers out of production in the middle of a work day to dist-ugprade. [16:28] I used to use my Galaxy s4 and DriveDroid to install Linux distros [16:28] ServerSage: sure i do, but i can't read your mind as to what scenario this system is in :) [16:28] But I have an S5 now, and it doesnt work [16:30] 10-17 09:24 ERROR CommonBackend: The md5 of the metalink does match [16:30] Hi guys. When I try to shutdown, the systems gets stuck on this message: "unregistered_netdevice: waiting for vboxnet2 to become free. Usage count = 1". I have to halt manually the vagrant boxes if I want to shutdown successfully. Is there any way to fix this? [16:30] Thats what wubi says [16:30] Even though the md5 hashes fine [16:30] can we use multiple xchat at same time [16:30] akhil: yes [16:30] hello guys, I am having an issue with my USB3 hdd dock, it will mount and detect HDD on startup but not plug and play, I get a usb6-1:Device not responding to set address, device not responding address 19, error -71, This only happens in USB3, USB2 is working plug and play, system is 14.04 amd64 updated today [16:31] eric how [16:31] akhil: click on the icon on the top right corner === drew is now known as midworldrew [16:31] dbugger: append shutdown script or force shutdown, for example [16:32] UseTh3S0urce: wubi is very hard to support. if it works: fine (even if a native install would be better) but if it doesnt work, there is just very little we can do about it [16:32] Sez: sorry, what? I did not understand what you tried to tell me [16:35] k1l_: Thats okay google is helping there is an option to skip md5 check [16:35] dbugger: look up shutdown process + ubuntu and try to add your missing link, turning off vbox networking... [16:35] And it is installing, finaly, yey. [16:36] Finaly. [16:36] wrong MD5, i would not proceed [16:36] Now I can actually use this crappy Alptop and not on this clogged up broken Vista install [16:36] My girl doesnt want me to fix it [16:36] Or upgrade it [16:37] And I just wanted Linux, but no CD/DVD/USB [16:37] No way to run a PXE server [16:37] SO, yes I have to use wubi, I know everyone hates Wubi. [16:37] great, wubi on a broken vista install [16:38] .oO(hate cryptic leet nicknames ever more;) [16:38] UseTh3S0urce: Wubi is hated, but its still included, but not many people are willing to support it [16:39] UseTh3S0urce wubi = will ultimately be inefficient [16:47] I'm currently running Python 3.4.0. I have a dependancy that claims to only work with up to 3.3. How do I switch my 3.X version? === parduse is now known as Guest87309 [16:47] I think I have 3.3 installed already somewhere === root is now known as Guest72674 [16:54] Hello === gordon is now known as Guest14980 [16:55] hi guys... English is not my native language... I'm trying to search on the internet for a php system that could handle something like a bank line, when each client get a number, and the screen shows who's next. [16:56] i know this has nothing with ubuntu, but it's just a quick tip, if you guys could help me. I don't know the therms to search for it [16:56] hi guys [16:56] sometimes when I log on my altgr key is understood as super... === freijon_ is now known as freijon [16:56] I need to click on the keyboard layout again to make it act as alt gr again [16:56] does anyone already have that issue ? [16:57] i am setting up drbl clonezilla on a brand new virtual machine of 14.04 lts server edition and i used the software center to get it, where would it be located now? [16:58] markand, I use "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -option compose:menu" in my .xsession when I log in. You could explore doing similar with your gr options. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [17:02] rwp, it's random [17:02] it does not happen all the time [17:03] the .xsession is always read even with lightdm? [17:03] That is strange that it would be intermittent. Should be always or never. So strange if it is something different. === tcpman is now known as Guest96200 [17:04] The .xsession is part of the Xsession startup used by all of the graphical login managers. [17:04] But perhaps I should not have mentioned it since it is a longer topic of discussion to understand how to insert things there. [17:04] see that is your problem depending on DE keyboard device could be reinitialised otherwise though [17:04] Perhaps .xsessionrc instead is better? === Owner is now known as Guest3293 [17:08] hola [17:08] vfuihvj [17:09] Hi I created a "Linux filesystem" with gdisk. gparted clearly shows the filesystem is "ext2". Then I used "mkfs.vfat -F 32" on that partition. gparted shows it is now a fat32 file system. However if I check with gdisk, it still tells me it is a Linux filesystem. Isn't it contradictory? [17:11] kaligne: gdisk looks at the partition type. [17:12] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity. I'd like to see the contents of /home//Desktop folder on my desktop. But how to do that? [17:12] how download a .deb from debian or ubuntu [17:12] !apt | obounaim [17:12] obounaim: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [17:13] diffis, Me? I would type in "ls ~/Desktop". You? You didn't give enough context. [17:14] rwp: On the desktop, not terminal. [17:14] diffis, open nautilus, it will show you [17:14] Which desktop? Implies graphical file manager. Which graphical file manager? [17:16] diffis : "ls /home//Desktop". Or open nautilus file managment [17:16] Err... How I'd explain this...? I'd like to see them as icons or what ever on screen. Like there was possible to add files on desktop on Windows. But is that possible? [17:16] SchrodingersScat, I am look for a tool to download the .deb form the specified version (sid, utopic, ...) not to install the package. Thanks! [17:17] I know the nautilus, but it is not the thing I'm looking for now.. [17:17] What is the pkg. name for Open-JDK [17:17] ? === mkramer is now known as Guest16103 [17:17] how can i put xbmc 13.2 stable on trusty? [17:17] MMukherjee, easy to find in softwarecenter [17:18] hi [17:18] diffis : Nautilus is graphical.. === federico is now known as Guest89980 [17:18] I am using a Server, OerHeks. -.- [17:18] No GUI there. [17:18] apt-cache search openjdk? [17:19] MMukherjee, sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre === Owner_ is now known as Guest44416 [17:19] 'k [17:19] kaligne: Yes, but you need to launch it before you can access the files. I'm looking for something that they just sit on the screen and you can click one of them and open it. [17:19] apt-cache search openjdk [17:21] diffis : you just istalled Ubuntu right? If you do not see anything on your Desktop, it means your Desktop folder is empty. === Termana is now known as Guest88568 [17:21] do you see 14.04 reboot start with lots of popups of stuff crashing? [17:21] diffis : did you put files in your Desktop folder? [17:22] kaligne: Now, I've used this installation some months now. And I've created some stuff on there to test, but they won't show. [17:22] how modify program that gets called for SCREEN LOCKING? [17:22] Maybe I've missed one/some settings at some point or something... I afraid.. [17:23] diffis : DO you mean you could see your files on your desktop, but it suddenly stopped working correctly? [17:24] diffis : or was it from the very start? [17:25] kaligne: No, I mean that I haven't seen any files on my desktop ever. And I can't get them showing or find any tips what to do. [17:26] diffis : and you can see them on your desktop when browsing your file manager? [17:26] Yes. Or using the ls on terminal. === hootan is now known as _gentle_giant [17:28] diffis : otherwise your GUI is working right? [17:28] How is the cmd script used for making a build log? === CoreIT84 is now known as corey84 [17:29] kaligne: Yes, it works fine. I've even installed the Ubuntu Tweak and tried to force the icons like trash to show but no success so far. [17:29] hey can anyone help me with DDNS? [17:30] there is a wiki for it > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [17:30] how do I set up the client to receive a DHCP ip addr from one server but register the IP address/hostname with a different nameserver [17:31] diffis: I once mistaingly deleted my Ubuntu Desktop folder, re-creating it with mkdir would not give me the "desktop displaying" back. If I recall I booted from the Ubuntu live CD. I then mounted my hard drive (mount /dev/your_hard_drive /mnt) and copied the live Desktop folder in /mnt/home// [17:31] I dont think I need ddclient because I can see I registered with nameserver1 === havanami_ is now known as havanascode [17:33] diffis : the hard drive to mount is the partition your Ubuntu is installed on. Perhaps there are easier solutions out there, I did that hack because I did not want to spend time searching [17:35] kaligne: Yes, this is guite hard problem to search. Perhaps I simply leave it to be as it is right now... But thank you. Perhaps I look into the settings one more time and try to see if I'm clicked something strange... :D [17:36] diffis : mmm... Have you tried re-installing ubuntu-desktop? "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [17:37] where can I download an ISO of Utopic RC? I saw that it was scheduled to come out yesterday (Oct 16) [17:37] Hello. I am trying to get connected to campus wifi at my university. They use PEAP and 802.1x I understand that I need wpa_supplicant, but am unsure of exactly how to configure it. I've seen things about PSKs...do I definitely need that? [17:37] Is anyone here using a multi-button mouse ? I have Gigabyte M8600 v2 and I can't get the extra buttons to work. Ubuntu 14.04 detects left, right buttons and the wheel button + up & down but not the 4 extra buttons on the side. [17:37] kaligne: No. [17:38] w 20 [17:38] zenlinux, join #ubuntu+1 untill release for help [17:39] OerHeks, will do, tnx [17:43] Hey, guys. Sorry...connection went down. [17:44] If anyone responded to me, could you please send your response again? :) === kl15 is now known as Guest20018 [17:44] ckildegaard_ better repeat your qsuestion [17:45] I am trying to connect wirelessly to a connection that uses 802.1x. My machine doesn't even see it when scanning for networks and I can't connect. I have tried configuring wpa_supplicant with no success. [17:45] (I am currently connected via ethernet to that network, but only to look up how to do it wirelessly) === Guest20018 is now known as insomnia [17:47] hi [17:48] moin. [17:48] What is the ntp command line client? === ckildegaard_ is now known as ckildegaard [17:48] scrote was that directed at me? [17:49] ckildegaard: he just joined [17:49] oh, okay [17:49] I didn't see it, sorry. [17:49] ckildegaard, not on linux right now but if you have wireless adapter, it certainly supports 802.1x [17:50] ckildegaard: no problem [17:50] ckildegaard: type lspci | grep Network [17:50] DX099: great, but do you know how I use it? [17:50] ckildegaard, also wpa_supplicant is installed per default on Ubuntu [17:51] are you able to see the network with some other device from where you are ? [17:51] D099: I remember having to install wpa_supplicant, and yes, I can see the network. [17:51] YOU ARE ONLY ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM ETERNAL TORMENT [17:51] Luke 12:4-5; Luke 13:3 [17:52] !ops | YOU ARE ONLY ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM ETERNAL TORMENT [17:52] Luke 12:4-5; Luke 13:3 [17:52] EricC^^: that command doesn't give me any output. What should it do? [17:52] ckildegaard: it should return the wireless network controller [17:52] ckildegaard: try lspci | grep Wireless [17:53] ckildegaard, that's really strange because wpa_supplicant is what network-manager uses to operate with wireless networks and ships per default with every ubuntu install out there [17:53] Hmm...I am not using Unity (although it is installed). Could that have anything to do with it? [17:54] 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) [17:54] nope, nothing to do with unity [17:55] ckildegaard, could you try lsmod | grep ipw200 ? [17:55] DX099: no output [17:57] ckildegaard, "sudo modprobe ipw200" ? [17:57] *2100 [17:57] no output [17:58] OerHeks, oops yeah [17:59] ckildegaard, rather than ipw200, try given commands with ipw2100 [17:59] I copied Ubuntu iso to my usb stick with "dd if=ubuntu of=/dev/sb1". When I boot on my usb, it says "no operating system". It usually works, why wouldn't it work this time? Should I flag /dev/sdb1 as "Legacy BIOS Bootable" with gdisk? I never had to do so though [17:59] DX099: I tried that [17:59] still no output [17:59] ? [17:59] Correct [18:00] This wouldn't be because I'm already on Ethernet, would it? [18:00] did you try "lsmod ipw2100" after using "sudo modprobe ipw2100" ? [18:00] no [18:00] nothing to do with Ethernet unless really weird bug [18:01] kaligne: you dd'd it to a partition or the whole disk? [18:01] nevermind [18:01] EriC^^ : I used dd to the only partition which covers the whole disk space [18:02] EriC^^ : which was /dev/sdb1 [18:02] kaligne, that should have been /dev/sdb [18:03] DX099 : Oh shoot.. Ill get it right thanks :) [18:04] np [18:05] ckildegaard, mmh the module for your wireless chipset should be built with the kernel [18:06] hello, which java should I use with libreoffice, I want to convert some files to odt using "soffice --headless --convert-to odt * docx"? thanks [18:06] here's a plan, guys [18:06] actually no plan [18:06] nevermind [18:06] yay [18:07] ¯\(ツ)/¯ [18:07] When running "lsmod ipw2100" I just get "usage: lsmod" [18:07] was that the plan all along? [18:07] :P [18:07] or was it? [18:07] Well I'm planning on moving my ubuntu install over to a new drive [18:07] what for? [18:07] ckildegaard, that's my mistake. Rather, after "sudo modprobe ipw2100", try "lsmod | grep ipw2100" [18:07] it's currently installed on the second drive of my laptop [18:08] I'd rather have it on the primary drive so I can pull the secundary drive out [18:08] Quatroking try to keep your question in one line, it's easier to easier and repeat [18:08] easier to read and repeat* [18:08] Sure, will try [18:09] hey now, that's two lines! [18:09] is should be loaded because when the "modprobe xxx" is used, it outputs something if "xxx" module doesn't exist. So the operation should have been successfull === UseTh3S0urcE is now known as GEntoon === GEntoon is now known as GeNtOOn [18:10] Quatroking: ok so backup your stuff, get the list of programs and reinstall [18:10] Quatroking: i don't know if you could just dd the whole thing too [18:11] I've done one of these aptoncd things - should I backup /usr/ too? === GeNtOOn is now known as UseTh3S0urce [18:11] i'm guessing aptoncd is the repositories on a cd? [18:12] if you're reinstalling the apps, no need to backup /usr/ i guess [18:12] yeah it grabs all your installed packages minus the default ones [18:12] !aptoncd [18:12] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [18:12] hi [18:12] DX099: found several files [18:12] !dd [18:12] guys I can [18:12] ah damn this enter key [18:13] EriC^^, what's dd do? [18:13] Quatroking: it's a low level copier [18:13] Quatroking: will image the whole disk bit for bit [18:13] guy I can't record audio from system, like, audacity cannot record the current playing song [18:13] or teamspeak cannot hear system sound even I've set it to monitor system sound [18:13] ckildegaard, do you see a line like "ipw2100 weird-number chat,chat,chat" ? [18:14] ShrewdSpirit: try pavucontrol [18:14] MonkeyDust: thanks, sounds cool [18:15] can't I just install realtek drivers? cuz ubuntu doesn't detect the mic on my handsfree [18:16] ShrewdSpirit: pavucontrol might help you record the current playing song [18:16] EriC^^: I have it right now [18:17] EriC^^: but none of the apps can hear system sounds. they only hear microphone [18:17] D099: I do not see that, no. Thanks for your help...I'm just going to get in touch with IT at my university [18:17] ShrewdSpirit: you have to switch it in audacity i think [18:18] ckildegaard, well hope they know their way around linux [18:19] ckildegaard, one last thing try "ifconfig -a" [18:19] heh [18:19] would be funny if it was down [18:19] definitely [18:21] Anyone able to get java apps to work in firefox? [18:21] EriC^^: I thought audacity will record system audio automatically but it wont. I had to set it to monitor audio in pulsecontrol [18:22] *pulseaudio control :D [18:24] ShrewdSpirit: yeah :D [18:24] choppy video in facebook in chrome - any suggestions ? [18:25] hey guys [18:25] LucidGuy, you need to install icedtea-plugin first [18:25] So I got select Wubi to work by disabling the md5 check [18:25] i am using precise puppy based on ubuntu. there is also slacko puppy based on slackware. why is ubunut better than slackware or wise versa? [18:25] then it wouldnt mount root [18:25] It was set as read only [18:26] so once I fixed that, by directly editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg(I know this is a no no) it works like a charm, finally! [18:26] lovely [18:28] i'm afraid to ask, but you did remove the md5 check cause of a bug right? not cause the iso's md5 was off? [18:28] kostkon, I have .. but some sites still complain I don't have it installed. [18:29] EriC^^: I downloaded the image 5 times from 3 different sources [18:29] UseTh3S0urce: and the md5 was always not checking out? [18:29] And the md5 kept failing and it would download its copy of the iso via torrent [18:30] and that md5 would fail [18:30] UseTh3S0urce: why did you not use rsync ? it can patch it up with it's differencing algorithm [18:30] EriC^^: Yeah I just read where to find the log [18:30] I wasnt on a nix system [18:31] argh, sounds like a mess [18:31] Anyways, I had to disabe the md5 check, but i checked the file integrity [18:31] And the grub lines were all ro [18:31] SO root wouldnt mount === Termana is now known as Guest47606 [18:32] I almost thought I did have a bad image, luckily I found someone who had similar issue online, and looked at the boot params [18:32] Hi everyone [18:32] i pcn [18:33] What's the best channel to ask questions about net installing ubuntu (with cobbler in my case) [18:33] I'm trying to use local mirrors in a lab w/o internet [18:33] it's proving challenging :) [18:35] on a 500gb drive, what'd you guys suggest to assign to /home/, / and swap? [18:36] Quatroking: swap depends on whether or not you want hibernation, /home if you're using it all just assign 30gb to "/" and the rest as /home [18:37] Quatroking, let the installer choose, and you will be fine [18:37] Quatroking: if you want hibernation swap should be slightly larger than your ram [18:37] Swap need if small RAM [18:37] OerHeks: installer won't partition a seperate home, would it? [18:37] OerHeks, installers aint the boss of me! anarchy!! - EriC^^ alright, will keep that in mind [18:38] throwing 10gb at swap, 40gb at / and the leftover 450 at home [18:38] sounds good === Michael is now known as Guest99196 [18:40] Quatroking: 10GB swap - so you have 10GB RAM? [18:40] I've got 4GB ram but I like the number 10 [18:41] Well, thats wasting more than half of your swap then. :P [18:41] meh, I can always adjust it later [18:41] So... something about me firing events between master and jobs is making my Windows minion crash :/ https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/16723 [18:41] or exit. [18:43] is hexchat in thedefault ubuntu repos? [18:43] 14.04 [18:43] errietta, yes [18:44] errietta, yes it's in universe [18:44] is it better than xchat? :D [18:48] hi I have a very basic question, if I create a file and do chmod 775 and then I upload if and someone downloads it , is it still 775? [18:49] Supermathie: I don't find much difference between them, if anything, hexchat seems less stable in that it crashes more often, but other than that, very little difference [18:49] Whatever uploads/downloads the file would have to query and explicitly set the mode. It's metadata. [18:50] Supermathie that was for me? [18:51] balance, yep [18:52] Supermathie, ah ok, so how do I know what permission is set after the download? What are the rules ubuntu uses? [18:52] ta [18:53] balance, ubuntu doesn't have any rules per se, but take a look at umask - that probably mostly addresses your question [18:53] Supermathie ok thanks :) [18:55] in windows you can enter cli info into the run box [18:55] such as \\server\folder [18:55] where can i enter this info in ubuntu? [18:55] balance: there is no way to enforce the permissions of a download. [18:56] balance: It always depends on the defaults/rules on the client - the uploader cant enforce that. [18:56] bekks ok good thanks [18:58] :-D [19:01] tsimpson here are 2 pictures of the problem: https://i.imgur.com/aaAJizR.png --- https://i.imgur.com/iaiykny.png === s is now known as Guest65355 [19:04] how do I know which data to enter into the fstab file when I want to add a partition to it? [19:04] Anybody here knows if on any laptop optical drive, you can just replace the drawer front-panel? [19:05] also, can I add a partition to fstab if its not permanently mounted, but only mounted if I want to mount it via sshfs? [19:05] Hello, many times I will ssh-add a pem file and then use the nautilus "connect to server " feature to get the sftp style connection. This works great for a week or so then it says permission denies and I have to ssh-add the same exact key again. [19:05] Is this intentional or not? [19:06] I often do through many keypair adds, is it possible that some of the new ones overwrite older ones somehow? [19:06] Wryness in a terminal, type lsblk [19:09] thanks [19:09] upgraded to 14.10.. virtual consoles are all black / blank / not working [19:09] I have a windows server and ubuntu box and need to transfer files from one to the other, what's the best method to accomplish this task? [19:09] known issue? [19:10] Hello everybody [19:10] imbezol, join #ubuntu+1 for support untill release 14.10 [19:10] OerHeks: thx [19:12] irreverant: There are many options, and "best" is subjective and dependant on exact circumstances. One option is to make a network share on the server and connect to it from Ubuntu, after which you can copy things as you normally would. [19:12] If you are free I need some help here please [19:13] dxtr_: Just ask your question. If anybody thinks they can help they'll respond :) [19:13] Well , ubuntu can't connect to wifi [19:14] Im connecting through ethernet cable now [19:15] Just installed Ubuntu 14.04 server. I plan to install some software in /work and I would like all users to be able to access that software. Do I need to set any special permissions? [19:15] cryptic0: No. === Zerant is now known as Guest3184 [19:16] cryptic0: What are you actually trying to install? [19:16] Jordan_U: data analysis software [19:16] cryptic0: What software specifically? === sarsaeols is now known as sarsaeol [19:17] Jordan_U: not sure why people keep asking me this question. We are an academic research lab, we need hundreds of pieces of code to do data analysis. [19:17] it's all going into /work [19:17] Jordan_U yes i'm trying that but it doesn't want to accept account credentials [19:18] cryptic0: The standard prefix for proprietary software is /opt/, and the standard prefix for locally built (as opposed to installed from the package manager) software is /usr/local/. If you keep things in /work/ you will (at least) need to change all users' $PATH. [19:18] Jordan_U: thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to know. [19:19] can I mount /work partition onto /usr/local? [19:20] cryptic0: You're keeping this on a separate partition rather than just a separate directory? [19:21] cryptic0: /work and /usr/local are mountpoints, not partitions. And as Jordan_U already stated, the standard prefix for proprietary software is /opt/ [19:21] I made a /work a separate partition [19:22] cryptic0: Why? [19:22] You won't be able to change ownerships/permissions if it's a partition [19:22] that's what I was told to do when I was trying to install biolinux. I eventually gave up biolinux and installed Ubuntu server, but the partition scheme stayed the same [19:23] genii: what? [19:23] ( well, you can, but it will reset to root every boot) [19:24] genii: cryptic0: That is not true at all, permissions are perfectly editable on separate partitions, as long as they use a filesystem which supports the permissions you need (e.g. ext3/4). [19:24] Jordan_U: all partitions are ext4 on my system. [19:24] I can just add /work to the $PATH variable for everyone [19:25] cryptic0: I generally advocate for a single partition for everything, because that way you don't need to worry about guessing how much space you'll need for each and having one partition get full while overall you still have tons of space left. [19:25] Jordan_U: The problem is, you can permanently change permissions of for instance a folder which is on a partition, but the ownership of the root of the partition gets set by udev/modprobe to root every time the system boots [19:25] Jordan_U: storage isn't really a problem, we have a large network storage available to us. This machine is only for data analysis and on the fly storage. [19:26] genii: that makes no sense. [19:27] cryptic0, set your PATH in /etc/environment and all users will pick that [19:27] 30% ext4 OS partition 2% swap 68% /home [19:27] Supermathie, thanks [19:27] pavlos: is 'environment' a file? [19:27] what's the syntax to push a file using ftp from cli (ubuntu) to windows? [19:27] cryptic0, yes /etc/environment [19:28] thanks [19:28] i need to say put /home/ftp c:\.......... [19:28] irreverant, ncftpput [19:28] ncftpput? [19:29] why is /home owned by 'root'? Is that normal? [19:29] irreverant: The FTP server is running on windows? [19:29] cryptic0: yes, that is normal. [19:29] ok [19:29] cryptic0: /home/youruser should be owned by youruser though. [19:30] yes, can confirm. [19:31] If I wanted /work partition to be accessible by everyone, is it prudent to do: chmod a+rwx /work? [19:31] Hi guys. Everytime I restart the computer, I need to replug the webcam to make it works. Otherwise it says it can not detect it. What is the problem?? [19:31] chmod 777? [19:32] cryptic0: It's generally a bad idea to give word write permissions to important files. Do all of these users need to write to this directory, or only read from it? [19:32] cryptic0: no, you should add a group and then put all those people in that group and then chown the path to that group. [19:32] Jordan_U: read/write/execute permissions are needed for all users. We are small group of 5 people. [19:32] Pici: great idea [19:32] ciao [19:32] !list [19:32] Luca24: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [19:32] yup group it and group the users [19:33] a user can be part of many groups right? === Termana is now known as Guest31624 [19:33] cryptic0: Yes. [19:33] at least put a README file to remember what you did 6 months ago [19:33] bah documentation is for weenies [19:33] pavlos: was that for me? [19:33] yes [19:33] pavlos: ditto! [19:34] never comment your code, its job security === christian is now known as Guest12493 [19:34] FilthyMacNasty: lol [19:34] nice troll, FilthyMacNasty [19:34] wasnt a troll, just making funny [19:37] I have mounted a remote partition via sftp/sshfs. how can I find out which sda number it has so that I can add it to my fstab? [19:38] doubt it will have a /dev/sdx [19:38] but fstab doesnt need it [19:39] Can root share ownership of a partition with a group? [19:39] i just used scp [19:39] but when I want to unmount it, I always get the message "umount: /media/partition is not in the fstab (and you are not root)" [19:40] Wryness using sudo? [19:41] with sudo it works, but if I just click on the unmount/safely remove button in nautilus, the message appears (unless I am running nautilus as root) [19:42] mount is a root thing [19:42] but why can I mount and unmount say usb keys without needing root in nautilus then? [19:43] because automount runs as root === magic is now known as pretty [19:46] that doesnt make sense. If both runs as root, then why can I unmount usb keys from nautilus but not remote partitions? [19:50] I set up my public key in authorized_keys on the server and the automated ssh login was working fine for a while. But now it's asking me for password again. [19:50] Any ideas? [19:52] Wryness: Because there are PolicyKit policies in place for external devices, but not for manual sshfs mounts. Also, there is no device node associated with sshfs mounts, as there is no block device. [19:52] This might be a stupid question, but is there any way to setup a keyboard shortcut for "CTRL+LEFT" to act as "HOME" and "CTRL-RIGHT" to act as "END" like on a Mac keyboard? [19:52] Or at least in OSX [19:53] Wryness: If you add "user" to the mount options field in the fstab then any user can mount that entry, and the same user that mounted it can unmount it. [19:53] !fstab | Wryness [19:53] Wryness: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:53] can you use username instead of user? [19:54] so i have to literally add "user", not my username? [19:54] cryptic0: start with telling ssh to be more verbose: ssh -v user@server [19:54] Wryness: Correct. [19:55] now of course if you set the user on the partition to "username" they should be the only one accessing it [19:56] !who | FilthyMacNasty [19:56] FilthyMacNasty: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:57] FilthyMacNasty: Most irc clients will auto-complete a nic if you type the first few characters and hit . [19:58] FilthyMacNasty: No, is not a valid mount option, althoug uid is. Man pages and web docs go into detail. [19:58] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8580942/ [19:58] FilthyMacNasty: Still haven't tracked down the genius who decided that removable devices should always mout read-only. [20:03] cryptic0: Check ownership and permissions on your private key. [20:03] cryptic0: should be owned:group by you an RW user only. [20:05] jhutchins: "Still haven't tracked down the genius who decided that removable devices should always mout read-only.", that should not be happening. If it is for you, something is wrong (possibly filesystem corruption on your external drive). [20:07] Hallo.There is some freezing on my testing system. I'm testing Utopic. final release. [20:08] jirka_, join #ubuntu+1 for support untill release 14.10 [20:08] Greetings. I'm following the LiveCD customization tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization I'm stuck under "Producing the CD image". The 2nd command is "sudo chroot edit dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\n' > extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest" and it appears it is trying to change the root, and extact information outside the root. Does this look right? It is failing for me.. [20:09] OerHeks, Thanks [20:10] does anybody know if someone has ever written a tool/script for ubuntu/linux to automatically be notified about (attempted/failed/successful) logins on ones ssh servers? [20:10] Wryness: would something like fail2ban work? [20:10] !info fail2ban [20:10] fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.11-1 (trusty), package size 126 kB, installed size 616 kB [20:10] Wryness: Look into fail2ban, as tgm4883 suggests [20:11] will do, thanks [20:11] one liner grep sshd.\*Failed /var/log/auth.log | less [20:11] it sends me an email every time someone gets banned on our servers and bans them for 10 minutes by default (I changed ours to an infinite ban) [20:12] OerHeks: that would work, but is less of an automated response [20:12] tgm4883, true, fail2ban is an excellent solution [20:14] Fishscene: Please pastebin the exact command you're running, and its complete output. === Eduardo is now known as Guest30730 === jirka__ is now known as jp_hranice === Guest30730 is now known as EduardoLopes [20:15] cryptic0: that looks like neither the id_dsa nor id_rsa keys are accepted, are you certain that one of them is in the autorized_keys file of your server?

I tried going to tty and it wasn't working. Kernel panic? [20:18] tempmemp: not likely for kernel panic [20:18] read your logs maybe [20:18] tempmemp: usually you'd see your keyboard lights blinking on a kernel panic [20:18] tempmemp: Was your caps lock light flashing? [20:18] although that is odd you couldn't get to another TTY [20:18] Jordan_U: Nope, nothing was flashing [20:18] !sysrq | tempmemp [20:18] tempmemp: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [20:19] tempmemp: (for future reference). [20:19] how can I set up a user to be able to authenticate private key to a server without giving them the admin user .pem file? [20:20] For example I am x user and I have the admin .pem file for a remote server. I would like to give y user access to the remote server with their own username [20:21] Jordan_U: Didn't know something like this even existed. Thanks. [20:21] tempmemp: You're welcome. [20:21] hey [20:21] the REI parts of REISUB always say they are disabled for me. [20:22] daftykins: syslog?

[20:25] Jeremyb : ok wait I will try [20:25] AdmantgardSam: Can you clarify the Ubuntu support relevance please? [20:25] I manage a server with many users where the remote server changes fairly frequently and I was looking for a way to do it programatically [20:26] I am not looking for the program logic but rather a mechanism where an administrative user would setup the ssh pairs for non administrative users [20:26] bekks: Knowledge is good. I like Ubuntu people so they dont get harmed in any way.

I can't pastebinit because the command fails unless I use sudo to execute, and if I sudo the command, Pastebinit has no output. [20:27] wait [20:28] Well, looks like I was getting spammed with "Oct 17 16:11:27 PC1 acpid: 1 client rule loaded" Multiples of these on every other line and "Oct 17 16:11:27 PC1 acpid: client 4864[0:0] has disconnected" "Oct 17 16:11:27 PC1 acpid: client connected from 4869[0:0]" [20:29] Constant connects and disconnects.

[20:31] Basically, I'm running this exact command: sudo chroot edit dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\n' > extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest [20:32] Output: bash: extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest: Permission denied [20:32] TronicKey: One way to (rather forcefully) kill X is to use alt+Sysrq+K . (I don't remember if this is one of the sysrq commands disabled by default in Ubuntu or not). [20:32] I'm guessing the acpid errors were due to some bug? [20:32] Fishscene: Does your user have write permissions to extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest ? [20:33] let me check [20:33] Thanks Jordan_U .Sure a far cry from fvwm2. Things have changed the GNU/Linux world ! [20:33] TronicKey: You're welcome. [20:33] No. I do not. But I'm running the command with sudo permissions I thought? [20:34] anybody? [20:34] Jordan_U: I always thought it was ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X, or does that command do the same? [20:34] It appears that I'm chroot to the edit directory, and then extracting information out of the chroot environment, which doesn't make sense to me.. [20:34] Fishscene: You're running the command "chroot edit dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\n'" as root, then telling bash (which is running as your user) to safe that commands output to extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest . [20:35] i get the following message when i try to install certain things via terminal. can anyone help me out, please? http://imgur.com/fVNJh8k [20:35] tempmemp: ctrl+alt+backspace is a shortcut to kill X, which has been disabled in most distributions. Alt+Sysrq+K is a kernel command to forcefully kill whatever is on the current tty, (SaK). [20:36] Jordan_U: That would explain the permission denied. I'm nervous about changing the permissions as I don't want to mess up the custom livecd I'm putting together. [20:37] ...and I find it odd that no one else has caught this gap in the website tutorial. :P Who should I contact to talk about updating the tutorial? [20:37] modelengine, you dont have to use: sudo apt-get install? [20:37] or are you trying to remove it? [20:37] Jordan_U: Ohh, ok. [20:38] Fishscene: You have a common misconception about how commands in the bash shell work. It's bash that handles redirection of output, like '> somefile' or '| some_other_command'. So if you run "echo foo > /tmp/bar" bash runs "echo foo", then takes the output ("foo") and saves it to the file /tmp/bar. It is not echo that saves to /tmp/bar, in fact the echo command knows nothing about the file /tmp/bar. Do you understand that much [20:39] ave [20:39] i've tried to run Compulite Vector PC on my ubuntu but the only error i get is: [20:39] err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize [20:39] donno how to fix this cause google results show people had other errors with it. [20:39] can anyone try to diagnose the problem with me? [20:40] Hi guys. Everytime I restart the computer, I need to replug the webcam to make it works. Otherwise it says it can not detect it. What is the problem?? [20:40] compdoc, i think i may have figured it out. at one point i wanted to change my computer name. i went into gedit /hosts/etc/hostname [20:41] compdoc, it brough up a window where i changed the host name, now when i type certain things in terminal, it can't resolve the host name b/c it is diff from the main host (i think) [20:41] oic [20:41] Fishscene: What is the output of "ls -ld extract-cd/"? (If it's more than one line, use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ). [20:41] its /etc/hosts [20:41] and /etc/hostname [20:42] !hostname | modelengine [20:42] modelengine: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [20:43] compdoc, and Jordan_U, i used this tutorial http://imgur.com/wdXJmUD [20:44] modelengine, looks like you forgot to edit /etc/hosts [20:45] OerHeks, yeah, so what i did is, i went back into gedit, and changed the hosts back to the orig host name. it wants me to restart, so i will be back in a jiffy....and thanks to everyone :) [20:46] modelengine: Try to stick to official documentation whenever possible, instructions from random blogs are usually wrong (and sometimes dangerous). Also, why did you link to a screenshot of the webpage instead of the webpage? [20:47] Hi there, I'm using n2n to setup multiple VPN interfaces on a single host. I would like to use avahi/mDNS to broadcast a different hostname tied to a different IP address on each device. [20:47] hi, is the static analyzer named clang already in the ubuntu repositories? i cannot find it, but i am not entirely sure [20:48] ok i'm bakc [20:48] modelengine: Try to stick to official documentation whenever possible, instructions from random blogs are usually wrong (and sometimes dangerous). Also, why did you link to a screenshot of the webpage instead of the webpage? [20:48] For example, if I have a 'prodvpn0' interface and a 'testvpn0' interface, each with their own IP (assigned by avahi-autoipd), how can I have avahi-daemon broadcast the mDNS hostname as mybox.testvpn.local on the testvpn0 interface and mybox.prodvpn.local on the prodvpn0 interface? [20:48] Jordan_U, yeah, i realized that afterwards....my bad [20:49] I tried creating individual upstart scripts pointing to different avahi-daemon.conf files, but avahi-daemon refuses to start when it detects a running daemon. [20:49] What VPN solution would you guys suggest on a ubuntu server 13.04, OpenVPN? Also i'm hosting a voice server on my server, would hosting vpn take alot of cpu/ram & network connection off? [20:50] Jordan_U, i just took a screenshot of what the terminal looks like when i first open it http://imgur.com/GFGtuDT is there a way for my computer name to just be " kcnixon-vostro-460 " instead of having keithandcandace at the beginning? [20:50] kevindf: None. Upgrade to a supported release of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 13.04 is incredibly insecure. [20:51] for server? i taught the newest version of server from ubuntu was only available for 64bit? [20:51] i've tried to run Compulite Vector PC on my ubuntu but the only error i get is: "err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize". Donno how to fix this cause google results show people had other errors with it. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem? [20:52] modelengine: Do you want to change your hostname, or the prompt in your terminal? Right now the prompt in your terminal is your_username@your_hostname, and your hostname is "kcnixon-Vostro-460". [20:53] Jordan_U, i just don't want the username to show up in the terminal, or anywhere else for that matter. [20:53] kevindf, http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.1-server-i386.iso [20:53] kevindf: Definitely not, you can get Ubuntu 14.04 server 32 bit. [20:53] but that would force me to do a complete fresh install? [20:54] !eol | kevindf [20:54] kevindf: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:54] kevindf, you can try the eol upgrade path 13.04 -> 13.10, then 13.10 -> 14.04, that's 2 upgrades [20:55] ok [20:55] once that's done, would you reccommend openvpn as vpn service? [20:57] also, does anyone know where to download a compatible ICC profiler for linux? [20:57] kevindf: openvpn works reasonably well, but I prefer PPTP for compatibility reasons. The builtin clients on all the major OSes support PPTP natively. === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [20:57] i have a asus vg 248 qe gaming monitor [20:58] Plus, there's a really handy digitalocean guide for setting up a L2TP/PPTP VPN server.

I'm still at work. :P [20:58] thank you [20:59] It works on non-DO servers, but if you want to practice, a DO server costs just $5/month. === Termana is now known as Guest21489 [20:59] I use those DO instances like Ewoks, cute, cheap, expendable.

[21:07] fuuucccck! [21:07] i've tried to run Compulite Vector PC on my ubuntu but the only error i get is: "err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize". Donno how to fix this cause google results show people had other errors with it. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem? [21:08] What would be the best way to backup 1 single file to a external hard drive on a ubuntu server? [21:08] soory for bad language!dont boot me lol lol [21:08] kevindf: manually or automated? [21:08] manually [21:08] just one time [21:08] kevindf: copy it [21:09] would it be possible to just transfer over with like FTP or something? [21:09] kevindf: i might be missing some information. where is the file? [21:10] it's teamspeak SQLite file [21:10] to backup my ts server [21:10] it's in /data/server/teamspeak3 [21:10] data is located in root directory [21:10] is it on THE ubuntu server? [21:10] yes [21:11] then SSH to the server and copy the file with: cp /source/path/filename.ext /destination/path [21:11] ok [21:11] thank you [21:12] kostkon, which profile do i use? [21:12] Bushman: What is Compulite Vector PC? Is it proprietary software? Is it designed to run on GNU/Linux or are you trying to run it via wine? If you purchased it, have you tried the companie's tech support? === tybadrat is now known as knigh_trider === knigh_trider is now known as knight_rider === knight_rider is now known as tybadrat [21:13] kevindf: if both, source and destination are on the same machine the simple way is to use terminal. unless the server has desktop enviroment installed and you have phisical access to it then copy it with your mouse :P [21:13] Jordan_U: yes, i am trying to run it with wine. [21:13] and no, it was not designed for GNU/Linux unfortunatly [21:13] nono no GUI :D [21:13] Fishscene: I'm still waiting for responses to my last two messages to you. I can repeat them if needed. [21:14] i will try transfer over ssh with putty to windows [21:14] kevindf: then terminal is your friend ;] [21:14] with that command you gave me [21:14] kevindf: no [21:14] kevindf: wait... [21:14] Bushman: Try #winehq then. [21:14] Jordan_U: no answer yet [21:14] Bushman: What does this software do? [21:14] it's a stage light console [21:15] when i go to system settings --> color profiles, the 'calibrate' button is greyed out....anybody? [21:15] kevindf: don't copy it to windows back and forth [21:15] as i'm gonna do a fresh installation to a newer version of ubuntu i will copy the file over to windows [21:15] kevindf: if the file is on the server and the disk is connected to the server copy it directly from one place to another [21:15] why not if i may ask? [21:15] I guess what I need help with is calibrating my monitor and creating a color profile [21:16] kevindf: the external drive is connected to the server, is it? [21:16] nm i figured it out [21:17] i could do it with a external hdd but i was planning to put it on my windows pc [21:17] over ssh [21:17] then transfer it back once new installation was done [21:17] then you need sftp client [21:17] kevindf: there is one on putty website === Owner_ is now known as Guest27115 [21:18] kevindf: but it's command line only so you need to understand the login and filepath syntax [21:18] filezilla would work with pageant if i'm correct [21:19] i will try to look up some guide [21:19] kevindf: if you have http or ftp service on your server just use any browser to access the file to download it to your windows machine [21:19] Yea, I'm a little familiar with bash. However, to answer your 2nd question: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8581272/ [21:20] Sorry for the extreme delays. I answer phones and got tied up with a complicated call. [21:20] Jordan_U: do you have any reasonable experience with wine related issues? Could you try to help me perhaps? [21:21] Jordan_U: ^ (Forgot to tag your name in my reply) [21:21] Bushman: Not really, no. [21:21] ok. :( [21:21] Bushman: You might try their channel [21:21] !wine [21:21] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [21:22] genii: i AM on it. thank you. [21:22] it's just not that busy channel as this one [21:22] Bushman: Yes, waiting can be painful sometimes. [21:22] so i'm still waiting for anyone to wake up and read my question [21:23] ok, so when i try to add a color profile it doesn't add even though i import the correct profile. is there anywhere on the net where i could download a suitable gaming profile for my VG248QE monitor? this is what the profile screen looks like for me http://imgur.com/stFv8w5 === mikewalsh7394 is now known as mic-w [21:24] Fishscene: OK, so going back to concepts, you understand that when you enter "echo foo > /tmp/bar" into the terminal, it's bash (not echo) that's writing to /tmp/bar. The same is true of "sudo echo foo > /tmp/bar", bash runs a single command "sudo echo foo" and writes its output to /tmp/bar. The command "sudo echo foo" runs /usr/bin/sudo with the arguments "echo foo", and then runs (as root) /bin/echo and passes it "foo". But [21:26] So what is with this new development with nftables, im curious to see if anyone is using it, I very much like iptables but are the major linux distros going to stick with iptables for awhile.Iptables works great for me on my ubuntu machine. [21:27] Fishscene: As to your specific problem, I don't think that the directions are wrong, I think that you didn't follow one of the earlier instructions. Please run the following, and post (or pastebin) its output: history | grep "mkdir extract-cd" [21:28] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8581320/ [21:30] Fishscene: OK, I thought you might have run "sudo mkdir extract-cd" instead of just "mkdir extract-cd", but it looks like you did follow the instructions properly. I don't know what caused extract-cd to be owned by root. [21:31] Jordan_U: Would the rsync a couple of commands later change it to be owned by root? [21:31] Fishscene: I wouldn't expect it to. [21:31] I'll test. :) [21:31] ohhhh baby! I figured it out, and it is AWESOME!!! === Owner__ is now known as Guest92856 === stickabee is now known as shifttt [21:32] is it good to do a upgrade from ubuntu server 13.04 to 14.04 with the "do-release-upgrade" method? [21:33] kevindf: You'll need to follow the steps in the EOLupgrade page linked to you earlier, and it will take two upgrades. One upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, and another from 13.10 to 14.04. [21:33] !eol | kevindf [21:33] kevindf: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:34] kevindf: Only LTS versions can be directly upgraded to other LTS [21:34] would you suggest fresh install or the 2 upgrades [21:34] if it was your server, what would you pick [21:34] kevindf: Fresh, if nothing crucial there [21:34] kevindf: I would do a fresh install, especially as your server might already be compromized given how insecure 13.04 is. [21:35] ok [21:40] Just connected a Samsun Tv with hdmi connection to my computer, but as the tv has a separate remote control the sound bar panel is appearing and I can't get it off the screen. Also when I turn up the volume automatically is goes back to zero. Does anyone know why this is happening plealse? [21:44] Jordan_U: I ran the commands, but set up a test folder to extract the CD. As soon as I run the rsync command (sudo rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a mnt/ test), the test folder owner is changed to root: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8581356/ === Termana is now known as Guest39341 [21:48] Fishscene: OK, I'm not sure if changing the permissions of the directory will break some other part of the instructions, but you should be able to run "sudo chroot edit dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\n' | sudo tee extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest > /dev/null" to have the file written to as root (by the command tee, which unlike bash is being run as root). [21:48] I have an irq problem showing up in dmesg. Can someone help? [21:48] paste is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8581397/ [21:49] Also, I don't think that paste contains all of dmesg (maybe too long for pastebin). There are other warnings and stuff when I look at it in the terminal. [21:49] Jordan_U: Command seems to have executed just fine. [21:49] obscure hard to answer question time! Does anybody know a working alternative to Synergy that can run on windows and linux? And please, don't throw the alternative software site at me, it only suggests a synergy fork and a program that won't do [21:51] Yes we will see if giants win over KC.yeah i know its not about #ubuntu.Fuck it i do what i do. [21:51] Jordan_U: I've made note of your command in my notes for future reference. I'll have to validate it later, but it executed just fine. Thank you so much for looking into this and being patient with me. I really appreciate it. [21:51] I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. He would "play the bongos" on my ass.

It's asking me. [22:00] its an ssd [22:00] !fsck [22:00] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [22:00] m{a}zel: Lets back up. First, do you have all importand data on this drive backed up? [22:00] Jordan_U: (1) Ubuntu 13.04. (2) I am a homeless person and the machine was given to me through my local church. I need to use the comptuer to seek empolyment (in web or software development). Purchasing anything is not really an option for me (I seldom have more than a little spare change in my pocket). If I can't make this work, well, the outlook is bleak to say the least. (3) I do havce a paste of dmesg though if anyone can help. [22:00] If it is even possible to fix. [22:00] yes, not worried about the drive. [22:01] I meant 14.04 [22:01] m{a}zel: The first thing I would check is the S.M.A.R.T status of the drive. [22:01] not doing at this exact moment but wanted to know if one could force a check and possibly repair [22:01] didn't come back with anything [22:01] hmm... running into more issues with the "Producing the CD image" section. I'm running the command "sudo mksquashfs edit extract-cd/casper/filesystem.squashfs -nolzma", but "-nolzma" doesn't seem to be a valid argument for squashfs [22:02] but when I boot the drive winblows says it's gonna check and fix the drive [22:02] NVM.

[22:59] kailas, get this book http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Linux-Kernel-Third-Edition/dp/0596005652 [22:59] kailas, or read the linux source code [22:59] <[976497]A> What are you doing with Ubuntu sytem? First: OpenGL went down and today the sound on my PC is down. WTH? [23:00] <[976497]A> I didn't change anything. [23:00] Freen0deAdmin: I would read the source if I had some more time, although I think I should start doing that, any online stuff would also be greatly appreciated [23:00] Hi, I have a game that, when I launch it, it says "error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I have tried installing "sudo apt-get install libopenal1" but it's already installed. Can someone help me?

[23:21] I want to disable it globally [23:23] is that option possible? [23:23] or is it hard coded to be turned on? [23:27] after_r, somewhere in the settings there is a calibration wizard for the fonts [23:27] no there isn't [23:27] i figured it out, theres a tool called gnome tweak tool that does it [23:28] but the problem is, Firefox still uses smoothed fonts [23:28] how can I turn that off in FF? [23:30] !ops [23:31] I think that i somehow broke my entire libc setup :/ ubuntu wants to update linux-libc-dev but always fails with the error that this is blocked by oss4-dev 4.2-build2007-2.1.

[23:43] Byyyyee [23:46] can someone help please. i cant delete a file from my home folder [23:47] or i should say i cant delete a folder [23:47] newbme: sudo rm -r [23:47] i tried sudo nautilus and the folder does not appear in the home folder when i use that command [23:47] newbme: don't use sudo nautilus, use gksu for gui apps, gksu nautilus [23:52] so eric^^ it would be sudo rm -r home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run/razerd [23:53] can you remove it from wine? [23:53] there's a leading "/" before home, and yes no idea about wine [23:54] so eric^^ it would be sudo rm -r /home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run/razerd [23:54] yeah [23:55] rm: cannot remove `/home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run/razerd': No such file or directory [23:55] do i need the dots? [23:55] type sudo find /home -iname "razerd" [23:57] /home/me/.local/share/Trash/expunged/3387526693/razerd [23:58] but the folder is still in wine directory [23:58] maybe you have to delete it in wine? [23:58] what do you mean it's still in the wine directory? [23:59] ls -l /home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run [23:59] it doesnt show up in wine, but the folder razerd is still in wine, but i cant delete it [23:59] shows the directory? [23:59] ls -l /home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run [23:59] ls: cannot access /home/wine/dosdevices/z:/run: No such file or directory
