[00:31] <rommel092079> good day. I am new to ubuntu just because I was testing the easyhotspot.  I would like to ask how to update chillispot and the freeradius in ubuntu 9.04
[00:32] <rww> !9.04
[00:32] <rww> rommel092079: 9.04 hasn't been supported since 2010. Switch to a supported version for help here.
[00:32] <ap0c> rommel092079: You should get 14.04.1 LTS
[00:34] <sluckxz> ap0c: sorry didnt notice i didnt post the link...  http://askubuntu.com/questions/418296/fastest-way-to-reload-graphics-driver-module
[00:34] <rommel092079> yes I know that ubuntu has new latest version but easyhotspot is on ubuntu 9.04.  i tried upgrading the operating system and all but after upgrading, my desktop turn to terminal. I am not sure.
[00:36] <Foxhoundz> good day ubuntu
[00:36] <rommel092079> can someone help me also help me how to properly upgrade that ubuntu 9.04 desktop to lastest version.
[00:36] <Foxhoundz> I am using minidlna to serve music and images

[00:39] <EriC^^> rommel092079: download the 14.04.1 ubuntu iso from releases.ubuntu.com ( i think )
[00:40] <EriC^^> rommel092079: amd64 ?
[00:40] <EriC^^> http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/
[00:40] <rommel092079> eric, if I do that, and install it, will it overwrite all my installations in jaunty?
[00:41] <EriC^^> yes
[00:41] <EriC^^> backup whatever data you have
[00:41] <EriC^^> and get a list of the installed packages
[00:41] <EriC^^> then copy the data back and install the packages you had
[00:42] <rommel092079> does the new install have the option to ugrade only not new installation?
[00:43] <EriC^^> rommel092079: you can upgrade from the current installation
[00:43] <rommel092079> ok. i will try
[00:43] <EriC^^> but it will take a few upgrades to get there
[00:43] <EriC^^> like 9 to 10 then 10 to whatever
[00:43] <xangua> But it would be faster to do a clean install rommel092079
[00:43] <EriC^^> yeah
[00:44] <rommel092079> Eric: I am thinking to burn the new version and use that to upgrade. will that be possible?
[00:44] <EriC^^> nope
[00:44] <EriC^^> you can clean install with it
[00:45] <EriC^^> if you want to upgrade, you don't need to download anything
[00:45] <rommel092079> that is what I am afraid of.  can you teach me instead how to upgrade from like 9 to 10 then 10 to whatever.
[00:45] <EriC^^> sudo do-release-upgrade , in the terminal
[00:45] <EriC^^> ok

[00:55] <xangua> lucian: that it's not supported here
[00:56] <xangua> !ot
[00:56] <rommel092079> yes I changed it to old-releases and upgrade it like the article you provided but after that my computer rebooted and made my desktop to terminal. so from there i dont know what happened why it turned out like that.

[01:08] <rommel092079> it was preinstalled on the easyhotspot iso
[01:09] <EriC^^> ok
[01:10] <rommel092079> can you help me instead now how to upgrade manually to each version?
[01:10] <EriC^^> yeah sure

[01:42] <Steven-> If I have two fresh HDs and I want to install & dual boot Ubuntu/Win7Pro (both on same HD) do I just install Win on one drive and just resize the partitions?
[01:44] <bubbasaures> Steven-, The manual MS install has a partition sizing option.
[01:44] <Steven-> during the install?
[01:45] <bubbasaures> Steven-, It is an option in the install gui, called advanced I believe.

[02:08] <Everspace> Hello! I have a problem with PuTTY, and trying to edit things. When I go to SSH in to to do something like sudo 'nano /ect/fstab', there is no such file or directory. But I can copy and paste the command fine. What am I doing wrong?
[02:09] <n1cky> I've used a lot of distros over time, most recently gentoo for the past year. Arch was always a treat, before then. I first started using linux on debian, and later ubuntu.
[02:09] <rww> Everspace: try sudo nano /etc/fstab
[02:09] <n1cky> I'd like to come back to ubuntu but I use a lot of obscure packages where I'd like something similar to the AUR on arch
[02:10] <Everspace> I get a new file from nano

[02:22] <Steven-> So many dual boot tuts out there makes my head hurt
[02:23] <richac> Steven-: is vm better?
[02:23] <Steven-> I thought about that :-/
[02:25] <sluckxz> when i dual boot /often/ i just load up windows7 then install linux and it just works.  have you tried that?
[02:30] <Steven-> sluckxz, I have windows 7pro 64 install on a 120gb ssd. I have another 1TB HDD drive. I'm a little confused on the best way to go.
[02:30] <Steven-> I was thinking maybe partitioning the 120gb SSD 90gb for Windows and 30GB for ubuntu
[02:30] <Steven-> then I'm not sure what I have to do for the other 1TB drive which would be for files
[02:31] <sluckxz> i put my dual OS's on one drive and let linux manage the bootloader/chainloading
[02:31] <sluckxz> you can mount storage later
[02:32] <sluckxz> if your a newb to it.. unplug the data,  image the ssd and go to town testing.
[02:32] <Steven-> it'll be a fresh install
[02:33] <Steven-> not worried about losing anything
[02:33] <sluckxz> then just go.  it works pretty easy.
[02:34] <sluckxz> i like to unplug my storage drives when im messing around just to be safe..
[02:34] <sluckxz> you can mess with partition sizes before or after win7 install
[02:34] <sluckxz> then load linux and let linux install the bootloader
[02:34] <Steven-> ahh was going to ask that
[02:35] <Steven-> alright then. seems fairly straight forward then. I'll give it a go
[02:35] <serpent> uptime
[02:35] <sluckxz> worst case you have a clean win7 install,  image the system and figure the rest out at your leasure
[02:36] <Steven-> why do I need to image?
[02:36] <sluckxz> you dont need one
[02:36] <Steven-> ah ok
[02:36] <sluckxz> unless you bork something it saves time so you dont have to start over
[02:38] <sluckxz> just doing windows updates is worth a system image to me.  pita
[02:38] <Steven-> haha, I cant totally agree with that

[02:41] <Steven-> sluckxz, I appreciate the help. I'll likely lurk here if I run into any issues. heh
[02:41] <sluckxz> cool.
[02:43] <Steven-> sluckxz, do I need to do any partitioning in the win gui installer?
[02:44] <Steven-> or just let it do the default
[02:44] <sluckxz> either way you can before or after up to you

[03:00] <Avenger> Hello. I am curious to know if there are other desktop lay-outs. For example I would like to move the tool bar on the left to perhaps the bottom of the desktop.
[03:01] <somsip> Avenger: under Unity? No - just on the left
[03:01] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: you can hide left unity bar and use docky or something
[03:01] <lotuspsychje> !info docky | Avenger
[03:03] <Avenger> i will try research about docky and how to use it. thank you very much.
[03:04] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: sudo apt-get install docky in terminal to install, usage is pretty easy :p
[03:04] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : i will type that now.
[03:06] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : there is so much stuff happening in the terminal!
[03:06] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: its installing probably
[03:07] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : i think it is done but how to configure and open this?
[03:07] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: open startbutton left corner and search for docky to start
[03:09] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : something appeared at the bottom now. that looks like how mac does it! will it stay open and how to configure sir?
[03:09] <Avenger> thank you very much
[03:09] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: when you open a program, it will show icon on docky then you can rightmouse it to lock on docky
[03:11] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : but is this a good replacement for the default tool bar on the left hand side of ubuntu? am i able to add applications to docky like skype, etc..?
[03:11] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: yes, every program you open should appear on docky
[03:12] <MoreFreeze> test
[03:12] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: but unity leftbar is more solid of course, once you get used to it, its very intuitive
[03:12] <tracyone> +1
[03:13] <Avenger> i just want unity to be at the bottom
[03:13] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: not possible as somsip said :p
[03:13] <Avenger> and i dont want to have to open a program for it to be shown on docky. i wish that i could add applications to docky and launch them from it.
[03:14] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: i just told you howto, did you read it?
[03:14] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: when you open a program, you can right click it to 'lock' on docky so it stays
[03:15] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : right click and "pin to dock" ?
[03:15] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: yes
[03:16] <Avenger> lotuspsychje : i am very happy you have helped me. thank you very much sir.
[03:16] <lotuspsychje> Avenger: no prob
[03:17] <Avenger> i am very new to linux ubuntu but i want to learn as much as i can so that one day i can help others to enjoy the freedom of linux ubuntu and not be windows zombies

[03:44] <Everspace> Hello! I'm back :(
[03:44] <Everspace> cd / && sudo ls ect -> No such file or directory
[03:44] <keviv> GParted isn't letting me make an extended partition. It's only allowing primaries. Also, I apparently have 6 primary partitions, including one formatted using "unknown". What gives?
[03:45] <keviv> Everspace: what does ls / say?
[03:45] <Everspace> Say's it's there
[03:45] <keviv> ?
[03:45] <keviv> It says ect is there?
[03:45] <Everspace> Yes
[03:46] <keviv> Are you sure you don't want etc?
[03:46] <lotuspsychje> keviv: what kind of hd is this?
[03:46] <Everspace> omg
[03:46] <Everspace> I've been doing this for hours
[03:46] <Everspace> I'm an idiot
[03:46] <keviv> lotuspsychje: oh boy. Hell if I know. But it's from an OEM HP laptop
[03:46] <keviv> lotuspsychje: it's win8 btw
[03:46] <Everspace> I'm going to go run rf -r /
[03:47] <lotuspsychje> keviv: whats your endgoal exactly?
[03:47] <keviv> I think they did something funky with UEFI whatnot
[03:47] <keviv> lotuspsychje: install 14.04 dual boot
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | keviv
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> uefi dualboots are nightmares
[03:48] <keviv> Everspace: can't only root do that? :D
[03:48] <keviv> Shit
[03:48] <LinusTorvaldsII> use VM instead
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> keviv: i would install 14.04 single and use virtualbox win8
[03:48] <keviv> Hmm maybe
[03:49] <lotuspsychje> keviv: ive installed 30+ machines with 14.04 single on win8 machines already, worked all like a charm
[03:49] <keviv> Oh nice
[03:49] <lotuspsychje> use the hardware as it should be
[03:50] <keviv> That is, not UEFI?
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> keviv: some boxes need secreboot off for singleboot, others dont
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> secureboot
[03:51] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah I had to turn it off for my live USB to boot
[03:51] <lotuspsychje> keviv: i never liked dualboots, with any Os, but thats just an opninion right
[03:51] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah I feel ya
[03:52] <keviv> lotuspsychje: honestly I'm only using Windows because some of my Steam games don't work 100% on linux yet, and then I'm more comfortable with Office than I am OpenOffice/LibreOffice, and I can't afford interruptions in my writing
[03:53] <lotuspsychje> keviv: there is steam for ubuntu, and playonlinux you can simulate ms office also
[03:53] <lotuspsychje> !info playonlinux | keviv
[03:53] <keviv> Hmm indeed
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> keviv: libreoffice saves files in .doc and docx also
[03:55] <lotuspsychje> 14.04 is really the best Os for any machine :p
[03:55] <jazzytrumpet> anyone know anything about ubuntu?
[03:55] <lotuspsychje> !ask | jazzytrumpet
[03:55] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah I just mean the actual program itself. I really couldn't care less about the format that Office saves its stuff in (causes enough trouble for us Python devs :P)

[04:26] <choiwonjun> hello
[04:26] <choiwonjun> cc1: fatal error: include/linux/autoconf.h:
[04:26] <choiwonjun> what is this mean?
[04:26] <choiwonjun> ?
[04:26] <bigrig_> so..any ideas..anyone?
[04:31] <Massrawy1> whois
[04:40] <bigrig_> Ok i can see this is a waste of time
[04:41] <bigrig_> I can see why so many Windows users just end up going back to an OS world that JUST WORKS.
[04:41] <_krux> bigrig, what is it that you need help with?
[04:46] <Paulus68> the channel is slow this morning :(
[04:52] <maybefbi> what does "ip route add VPNSERVER_IP via LOCALGATEWAY_IP dev eth0  proto static" mean?
[04:53] <keviv> My laptop has 2 hd slots. Can I make some sort of dual boot that way, yet still have each hd an independently bootable system?
[04:53] <keviv> Did that even make sense?
[04:54] <daftykins> keviv: yep
[04:57] <keviv> daftykins: do I just specify the second hd's partitions during setup?
[04:58] <daftykins> keviv: what i would do, is pull the disk and install to the second as the only drive in there... then i'd use the laptop's boot menu to switch between.
[04:58] <keviv> Ah ok
[04:58] <keviv> Also, if I have a live persistent USB, will saving in /home persist, or do I have to save in he casper fs?
[04:59] <daftykins> where's /home?
[04:59] <daftykins> i don't know much about persistent ones to be honest
[04:59] <keviv> Oh wait sorry not home
[05:00] <keviv> I don't know. I just shit it off
[05:00] <keviv> Shut
[05:00] <keviv> But it might've been /ubuntu?
[05:01] <daftykins> hmm doubt it, but no clue
[05:01] <keviv> OK. I saved in both places.
[05:01] <keviv> I'll see next time
[05:02] <Ace> ultra noob here how do i install a hardrive
[05:02] <Ben64> Ace: like physically install it?
[05:03] <Ace> i hooked it up to the sata cables
[05:03] <Ace> and power
[05:03] <Ace> but windows doesnt recogonize it
[05:03] <Ace> i wanna put ubuntu on it and run it on another machine
[05:03] <Ben64> this is an ubuntu support channel, you should head over to ##windows for windows support
[05:04] <Ace> ok will do
[05:04] <Ace> is it possible though to put ubuntu on a hardrive and then boot a machine from that
[05:04] <Ben64> or if you want to install ubuntu on it, put it in the computer you want to install it on, download the iso and write it to a dvd/usb
[05:04] <Ace> you can do it with a usb?
[05:04] <Ben64> indeed you can
[05:05] <Ace> how many gigs is it?
[05:05] <Ace> sry if these are stupid questions
[05:05] <Ben64> need probably at least 1GB free on the usb to put the installer on it
[05:05] <HikaruBG> anyone runnig ubuntu web Server?
[05:05] <HikaruBG> hi all
[05:05] <Ace> so just download the installer and put it on the usb stick and boot from that?
[05:06] <Ben64> well you have to write it a specific way
[05:06] <Ben64> Ace: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[05:06] <Ace> kk thnx
[05:06] <HikaruBG> how to configure apache web server virtual hosts to be accessed from another computer? to be visible from the network?
[05:07] <Ace> ben64 the complicated part is that im salvaging hard drives from an old windows machine to install on a different machine with a fried hard disk that i want to put ubuntu on
[05:09] <Ace> is #windows on freenode?
[05:09] <Ben64> its ##windows and yes.
[05:09] <Ben64> but why cant you put the drive into the actual computer where you want it to be?
[05:09] <Ace> dont i need to wipe it clean and reformat it?
[05:09] <Ben64> no, the installer can do that
[05:10] <Ace> ooooo
[05:10] <Ace> niice
[05:16] <Tim_Miller> hello
[05:17] <therue> anyone uses ubunto for web development?
[05:17] <therue> or as web server?
[05:17] <Tim_Miller> i am going to be
[05:17] <Tim_Miller> if i ever get it to install
[05:18] <therue> :D
[05:18] <therue> you do backend or frontend web dev?
[05:19] <Tim_Miller> my wife does the web development she does both
[05:19] <Tim_Miller> she has just been asking me to get the server up
[05:20] <Tim_Miller> i know she prefers the front end
[05:21] <daftykins> Tim_Miller: are you stuck on something?
[05:22] <Tim_Miller> i would keep getting a black screen during different parts of the install and the computer would lock up
[05:22] <daftykins> bad ISO? bad RAM?
[05:23] <dw1> why is launchpad.net so picky.. https://pastee.org/d687e https://pastee.org/6evyv - I copied the request directly from Chrome web developer.. every other SSL site works fine. Weird.
[05:23] <Tim_Miller> i think it was the graphics card (knock on wood)
[05:23] <daftykins> for a server? aren't you installed server? :)
[05:23] <daftykins> *installing
[05:24] <AR45> Would a TITAN Z GFX card perform on linux equally as it would preform on windows? does the same go for cpu?
[05:24] <daftykins> that's task dependant
[05:25] <daftykins> or rather, application dependant
[05:25] <Tim_Miller> no i am not installing server, i wanted to play with the gui version
[05:26] <daftykins> Tim_Miller: did you try nomodeset ?
[05:26] <Tim_Miller> nope
[05:27] <daftykins> !nomodeset
[05:27] <dw1> AR45: prob too specific and noone knows the answer
[05:27] <dw1> AR45: but it likely works fine
[05:28] <Tim_Miller> after pulling and reseating the graphics card and setting the bios to the correct vram size and agp speed it seems to be working
[05:28] <AR45> dw1: yes works fine but at its best? what if the developers at intel for the i7 cpu do more driver updates for windows
[05:29] <daftykins> Tim_Miller: hah, AGP - nice.
[05:29] <dw1> AR45: when's the last time you installed a CPU driver :p
[05:29] <AR45> dw1: never lol
[05:29] <CryptDrift> Hey guys/gals, I forgot my unlock password for ssh keypair is there anyway around it?
[05:29] <Tim_Miller> ya its a old p3 system that has a blazing 866 MHz processor
[05:29] <daftykins> AR45: that is most definitely not how processors work :P
[05:30] <AR45> I'm asking because I'm picking parts for my first computer build
[05:30] <AR45> and I do plan on using ubuntu as my primary os
[05:31] <daftykins> right, a Titan Z is not a very wise choice. you'd know if you wanted one of those
[05:31] <daftykins> it really depends what you're going to *do* with it

[05:33] <AR45> just a new environment to learn programming
[05:34] <AR45> comfortably on a desktop
[05:34] <AR45> that's super fast
[05:34] <Tim_Miller> make you a deal on a P3 computer
[05:34] <agent_white> CryptDrift: Unless you know the old one, you need to make a new pair.
[05:35] <rommel092079> guys I need help. after updating my ubuntu 9.04 desktop to 9.10 to 10.01 LTS, i am now facing a terminal environment and not desktop environment. how can I turn this back to desktop?
[05:35] <CryptDrift> agent_white, thanks I should try not be smart when making passpharse this time
[05:35] <rommel092079> and I cant even login
[05:35] <agent_white> CryptDrift: Or look into using a keychain manager so you won't have to remember :)
[05:37] <daftykins> AR45: that's a really silly idea.
[05:37] <AR45> daftykins: o_o
[05:38] <Tim_Miller> ARRRGGGG its working but its soooooo sloooooooo
[05:39] <daftykins> Tim_Miller: DVD boot? what RAM?
[05:40] <Tim_Miller> HDD boot, i think around 400Mb of PC133 LOL
[05:40] <daftykins> oh so you installed already.
[05:41] <daftykins> 400MB? i'm amazed that booted the live session. that thing is barely good enough for a headless server.
[05:41] <Tim_Miller> yep i got it installed, the problems seems to of been the graphics card
[05:42] <Tim_Miller> lol, it met the minimum requirements exactly
[05:42] <daftykins> maybe for Lubuntu
[05:43] <Tim_Miller> is there a way to turn off the menu fades
[05:44] <daftykins> you should try lubuntu and xubuntu instead
[05:44] <daftykins> unity is just not going to happen on that thing
[05:44] <Tim_Miller> lol
[05:49] <Tim_Miller> so click and wait 5 minutes is not normal
[05:49] <daftykins> lol no.
[05:50] <daftykins> honestly, i tell people with old dual core processors and 1GB RAM to consider xubuntu first.
[05:50] <daftykins> Ubuntu just isn't that lightweight anymore
[05:50] <Tim_Miller> obviously
[05:50] <daftykins> it's probably mostly graphics with your situation right now though
[05:50] <Tim_Miller> its been a while since i used it but it used to be you could install it on anything
[05:50] <daftykins> what graphics chip type is it? which driver is in use?
[05:51] <Tim_Miller> radeon 9200 128Mb Vram
[05:52] <daftykins> ok i don't think drivers are going to help you
[05:52] <daftykins> the Unity desktop being 3D is just too much for that spec
[05:52] <Tim_Miller> probably not
[05:52] <daftykins> wipe it and try xubuntu or lubuntu instead :)
[05:52] <daftykins> but really i have a headless web server with more than twice the RAM
[05:53] <Tim_Miller> but i just got it working :(
[05:53] <Tim_Miller> lol
[05:54] <daftykins> 5 minute delays is working? :)
[05:54] <Tim_Miller> sure better than looking at a black screen
[05:55] <Tim_Miller> it doesnt want to shut down lol
[05:58] <Tim_Miller> any preferences on xubuntu or lubuntu
[06:01] <daftykins> Tim_Miller: xubuntu will be middle of the road, lubuntu will be the absolute lightest
[06:02] <daftykins> (though i find lubuntu sacrifices too much in looks, personally)
[06:02] <Tim_Miller> i enable 4x AGP its a bit faster now LOL
[06:02] <x0james> .
[06:05] <therue> hey guys, i'm interested in downloading ubuntu and getting more familiar with it.. i'm currently running windows 7.. what do you guys would be the better way for me to install ubuntu? can i set it up so i can use both windows and ubuntu simultaneously? i remembered back in the days there were software i belive called wine or something that allows the user to switch between os
[06:05] <hateball> !dualboot
[06:07] <daftykins> therue: if you mean at the same time, look into virtualbox
[06:08] <therue> oh i see. so once i installed virtualbox i can just switch between at the same time
[06:08] <therue> i still need to dual boot though right?
[06:08] <Ben64> no
[06:09] <Ben64> virtualbox allows you to have a virtual computer, with any os on it you wish
[06:10] <therue> for someone who is simply learning linux and not yet completely switching from windows to linux
[06:11] <therue> virtualbox would be the way to go then? instead of dual boot... since there's no hassle of logging out and signing on to the other os?
[06:12] <daftykins> therue: correct
[06:12] <therue> ah ok :)
[06:13] <therue> have you tried other linux distros?
[06:13] <therue> way back in the past i've tried slackware 3.5
[06:13] <therue> then i think redhat got pretty popular
[06:13] <therue> and alot more user friendly
[06:13] <therue> then ubuntu made it even more user friendly for people i believe
[06:14] <therue> but what are the differences between the various distros that are available these days
[06:14] <therue> like opensuse, arch, fedora, redhat, ubuntu, etc
[06:16] <daftykins> therue: plenty to be learnt on distrowatch.com or online in general
[06:17] <therue> thanks
[06:17] <therue> :)
[06:30] <sacarlson1> ok at your request a preview of my backdoor software release https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor
[06:31] <ratsarebig> sacarlson1: You big dope
[06:32] <sacarlson1> ratsarebig: so I take it, it's a bad idea?
[06:34] <ratsarebig> You breathing is a bad idea sacarlson1
[06:34] <sacarlson1> ratsarebig: ha ha thanks
[06:35] <sacarlson1> I"m sure it was out there someplace just most people didn't see it
[06:38] <fortynine> how secure and private is ubuntu?
[06:38] <fortynine> is it open source?
[06:38] <sacarlson1> fortynine: yes it's open source strictly
[06:39] <monkwitdafunk> the kernel is open source as well as a lot of packages
[06:39] <circ-user-eJsCj> hi
[06:39] <fortynine> so its impossible for them to get away with snopping?
[06:39] <monkwitdafunk> ubuntu is aka GNU linux
[06:39] <fortynine> snoop*
[06:39] <monkwitdafunk> gnu.org
[06:40] <monkwitdafunk> except certain modules and other non-free
[06:40] <monkwitdafunk> are apart of the repositories
[06:40] <sacarlson1> fortynine: being the code is open with all the world to see,  there is no easy way to hide a snooper
[06:40] <fortynine> im gona give it a try, i just hate unity ;(
[06:41] <sacarlson1> fortynine: there are other options than unity like mate that is more like the old windows XP or ubuntu 10.X
[06:42] <__unik> I am using LXDE. very good.
[06:42] <__unik> unity sucks in every dam nway
[06:42] <__unik> damn
[06:43] <sacarlson1> fortynine: there is also Linux Mint that is a directly connected dirivitive of ubuntu that has a defaulted Mate envirnment
[06:44] <vozz> All my sound is playing at about a semitone and a bit higher pitch than it should be. I thought it might be something to do with sample rate, so I worked out 48000/44100 = 1.088 = 8.8%, one semitone is 5.95% difference, two is 12.25% percent, so the ratio is indeed a semitone and a bit different. How do I fix this?
[06:44] <__unik> I use 16:9 monitor so... two panels make my screen a gnome ... lol
[06:45] <sacarlson1> vozz: what are you using to play the sound with and what format is the sound file?
[06:45] <fortynine> oh god, so much input lag ubuntu in VM
[06:46] <vozz> sacarlson1: It happens with everything, youtube, tuxguitar through fluidsynth, and vlc playing mp3s
[06:47] <sacarlson1> fortynine: ya with the added eye candy that unity has it takes some power to display.  you might find that mate envirnment runs a bit faster as it has less eye candy to run
[06:48] <rommel092079> hello. can I ask how to update a package like if I want to update chillispot, what is the command line for updating that?
[06:48] <sacarlson1> vozz: I never heard of this happening before.  I assume sound driver then maybe alsa
[06:48] <hip2theehop> sudo apt-get install chillispot
[06:49] <sacarlson1> vozz: sure it's not hardware.  does it do this on other platform?
[06:49] <Tim_Miller>  was playing with some settings on my sound card the other day and there was a pitch shift setting
[06:49] <Tim_Miller> never knew it was there
[06:50] <sacarlson1> hip2theehop: if your interested in chillispot you might be interested in this https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage
[06:50] <vozz> sacarlson1: i fixed it! put default-sample-rate = 44100 in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and restarted pulseaudio
[06:51] <vozz> i wish I'd known that 5 years ago, i remember troubleshooting it with completely different hardware when gnome2 was the default, and never solved it so i gave up on linux ;_;
[06:51] <rommel092079> I have error sub-process: /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[06:51] <rommel092079> it is when I install freeradius
[06:52] <sacarlson1> vozz: oh cool, I guess my card just happens to default at the correct number
[06:52] <rommel092079> or anything after I update my 9.04 to lucid
[06:53] <vozz> it's strange, when I first had the problem i was on a crappy laptop with pretty standard audio hardware, this time i'm on a desktop using a usb pro audio interface
[06:53] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: I recall some time back I couldn't get the freeradius package to work,  I had to compile a fresh copy from the developers.  not sure that is still the case as that was over 1 year ago
[06:54] <fortynine> my goodnes, the unity interface is hideous
[06:54] <fortynine> this reminds me of vista
[06:54] <rommel092079> sacarlson1: i cant uninstall it too using apt-get remove
[06:54] <rommel092079> i get the same error when removing.
[06:55] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: I use freeradius and you can see examples of my using it at https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage
[06:56] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: or maybe more detailed uses of freeradius can be found here in my other less updated git https://github.com/sacarlson/mini_isp
[06:57] <Tim_Miller> lol i'm wiping unity and installing xubuntu
[06:57] <Tim_Miller> see how this works
[06:57] <sacarlson1> Tim_Miller: that should run much faster  or lubuntu
[06:57] <Tim_Miller> i figured i'd try xubuntu first if its still slow then i will go withe lubuntu
[06:58] <rommel092079> sacarlson1: thanks for the links. anyway can I ask something? which software manages the download and upload speed for the users? is it the chillispot or the freeradius or none of them?  I am utilizing easyhotspot as my experiment.
[06:59] <__unik> Tim_Miller: had you done apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[06:59] <__unik> ?
[06:59] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: as far as I know it's none of them.  on my system I have two different methods of bw control the new being in the package  git
[06:59] <Tim_Miller> no
[06:59] <__unik> you have to do that after installing any new desktop enviroment
[07:00] <Tim_Miller> actually i did
[07:00] <Tim_Miller> went to settings then get update
[07:01] <fortynine> ok, so whats the best replacement desktop envir for ubuntu?
[07:01] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: my present release uses this as part of bw control in the package edition https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage/blob/master/mini-isp-1.0-1.debpackage/usr/share/mini-isp/bwc.sh
[07:04] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: my script should easily port into openwrt router to run there also if needed.
[07:05] <fancyfetus> hey guys
[07:05] <fancyfetus> how come when I theme everything, nautilus doesn't change?
[07:05] <fancyfetus> I'm changing my close, minimize maximize buttons, but nautilus stays the same.
[07:05] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: the new versions of chillispot or it's dirivitives might also add methods to control bw as it's not hard to do
[07:05] <fancyfetus> terminal changed.
[07:13] <rommel092079> sacalson1: are you familiar with easyhotspot?  I dont know how they control bw but on their gui, when you create an access for user, their is this download and upload rate that you should set also. but I dont know what manages it.
[07:17] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: if they added the data to the freeradius link then they probly use it at the router point in easyhotspot.  they are all dirivitives of chillispot.  I"ve tried many of them but presently don't use any of them.  easy just to plug in any access point on my system without the need to flash them
[07:18] <rommel092079> ok thanks. can you suggest me any package for bw control that I incorporate ?
[07:19] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: my method can also be cheaper as you don't need an expesive accesspoint that can run openwrt, any cheap one will work
[07:19] <idar> I am having some trouble with dhcp on one of my nics, noramlly it works. Now i don't receive the dhcp offer the server send to my client. Client log says dhcpDiscover, server log says dhcpdiscover and dhcpoffer.
[07:19] <arcsky> good morning, when i login via ssh there is a script which show some tech data. how do i add so eth0 shows their IPv6 address too?
[07:20] <rommel092079> ok thanks I will check on your work.
[07:20] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: I incorporate bw control at the gateway point as seen in my ilistrations in my wiki of my package
[07:20] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage/wiki
[07:21] <rommel092079> thanks. I will study that.
[07:21] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: should be easy to install with 3 clicks of the deb file
[07:22] <rommel092079> do you mind if I ask you for any email contacts where I can ask if ever there will be problem?
[07:22] <sacarlson1> rommel092079: my email contact is on github
[07:32] <rommel092079> tnx. good day
[07:32] <helmut_> hi
[07:38] <Tim_Miller> it seems like it is taking xubuntu much longer to install than ubuntu
[07:48] <Tim_Miller> xubuntu much faster :)
[07:49] <Tim_Miller> no waiting 5 min for a menu to open
[07:49] <arcsky> good morning, when i login via ssh there is a script which show some tech data. how do i add so eth0 shows their IPv6 address too?

[08:39] <hitori_> Hi. I need help with motion. I want to switch to the vlc window when motion is detected. I'm using wmctrl for that `on_event_start wmctrl -a vlc`. But when I start motion as a service wmctrl command doesn't work. I think it's because the sevice is started as a motion user. How can I fix this? Thanks.
[08:40] <lh_> why the rt2800usb driver doesn't stable?My wifi card is rt3070 chip.

[09:38] <jack_> talk bout WINE?
[09:39] <jack_> how to install WINE on elementary?
[09:39] <Ben64> elementary isn't supported here, sorry
[09:39] <Luyin> jack_: should be accomplished via 'sudo apt-get install wine'
[09:40] <jack_> huh...thanks
[09:40] <jack_> last chaos?
[09:40] <jack_> anyone?
[09:40] <Ben64> what?
[09:41] <jack_> game server?
[09:41] <jack_> is a mmorpg.
[09:41] <Ben64> ElementaryOS support is in #elementary, this channel is ubuntu only
[09:41] <Ben64> not sure why you're talking about a game server really
[09:41] <jack_> ok dude
[09:42] <jack_> sorry
[09:45] <ankk> is there a console tool to automaticly fix all network issues?
[09:45] <ankk> must i do everything manually at this age?
[09:45] <Ben64> ankk: theres no magic button for anything
[09:46] <ankk> Ben64 is there a way to make linux detect network devices from beginning and set it?
[09:46] <ankk> like fresh linux installation
[09:46] <Ben64> could you describe your issue
[09:47] <ankk> i'm using ubuntu in a virtual machine and i changed network connection type. but i want it to detect that changes automaticly
[09:47] <ankk> i don't want to install linux again or manually change settings
[09:47] <Ben64> you might need to restart for it to take effect
[09:48] <ankk> :s
[09:48] <ankk> there must be a tool to do this without reboot
[09:49] <Ben64> ankk: when you change the settings of a virtual machine, its like changing hardware
[09:49] <Ben64> which you normally can't do while the computer is on
[09:51] <ankk> Ben64 thank you
[10:01] <pngl> Hi everyone. I'm having an issue with my touchpad on Ubuntu 14.04. Some time after reboot, it stops working. I have a trackpoint, so I can still use my laptop, but I need to reboot for the touchpad to work again. I looked at the system logs and saw nothing suspicious. What should I try to investigate?
[10:04] <buIa> Pls VOTE mis BULA as TOP TROLL 2014

[10:10] <kakashiA1> hey guys, I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the firefox that you can have from the repos
[10:10] <kakashiA1> I am german and I have problems to render some letters correctly
[10:11] <kakashiA1> but if I activate unicode it looks fine
[10:11] <kakashiA1> but if I refresh, I have to activate unicode again
[10:11] <kakashiA1> I cant set unicode as default
[10:24] <pipi_> Hi guys, why does hexchat not come with perl on ubuntu 14.10 ?

[10:26] <pipi_> Ben64: thanks.
[10:26] <hyde> Hi, is there an official way to install Ubuntu as read-only on HD? Ie. basically same as booting live CD from HD partition.
[10:26] <hyde> ...official, or just documented unofficial, actually
[10:29] <Rory> Does anyone know of any good resources for learning about and implementing the "acct" tool? Google throws up plenty, but I'm sure most is just blogspam
[10:31] <sacarlson> hyde: I've installed ubuntu in this manner that boots the same as you see from a live cd by adding an entry in grub2
[10:31] <kailas> hi guys, if i am developing applications for Ubuntu, how can i submit them, or what is the procedure to follow after development is done?????
[10:32] <sacarlson> hyde: this link looks a bit old but I think it should still work this way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples
[10:33] <sacarlson> kailas: I recomend to start by publishing on github.com  like in this example https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor
[10:34] <sacarlson> kailas: you can also publish on code.google.com or sourceforge.com  but github.com to me is the best
[10:34] <kailas> ok
[10:35] <sacarlson> kailas: i've never tired it but I think anyone can also publish on pps
[10:35] <sacarlson> ppa
[10:36] <kailas> sacarlson: The reason I ask is, I have to present in class, and state what the development procedure for Ubuntu looks like, so is there a certain procedure, like an end to end description of how changes are incorporated or how ppas are added to the official repos
[10:38] <sacarlson> kailas: oh I'm not sure but my guess is that ppa is involved at one point before anything is certified into the standard repo http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/other-forms-of-submitting-apps/ppa/
[10:39] <kailas> sacarlson: perfect, that sounds good, thanks
[10:39] <sacarlson> kailas: many times there will be mirrors of github and ppa and branches that never get published direct
[10:40] <kailas> sacarlson: ok
[10:52] <sacarlson> kailas: I think I've found what you are looking for and it does involve ppa in the steps as seen here http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/scope/application-states/
[10:53] <kailas> sacarlson: Thank you so much, that is precisely what I needed, its almost 7am and I could barely keep going, this is great help... :D
[10:54] <sacarlson> kailas: np

[11:01] <mnr> i just installed ubuntu 14.04 but having a few problem
[11:01] <sacarlson> MagicSpud: I guess a work around would be to use mint-meta-codecs  from the mint repository, but I"m not sure how you would import it
[11:01] <tykayn-ubuntu> i cant see xdebug call stack in my browsers , despite having it enabled in php info
[11:02] <MagicSpud> oh cool wise suggestion...which would be the shell command to turn all wma files into mp3?
[11:02] <mnr> first prob is vlc does not start]
[11:02] <Ben64> MagicSpud: playing a wma file here in rhythmbox fine here btw

[11:02] <Ben64> - one of those heres
[11:03] <mnr> need help? anyone?
[11:03] <Ben64> MagicSpud: wma isn't a good format to start off with, but you can probably convert using lame
[11:04] <sacarlson> Ben64: does your version of ubuntu running in i386 or amd64?
[11:04] <Ben64> 64
[11:04] <mnr> MagicSpud:  hey can u help me?
[11:04] <MagicSpud> hmmm they are cds I bought how come they have that weird format?
[11:04] <Ben64> mnr: be patient, also, give more details
[11:04] <MagicSpud> what do you need mnr?
[11:04] <mnr> ok
[11:04] <Ben64> MagicSpud: cds don't have wmas on them...
[11:04] <MagicSpud> yeah specify buddie
[11:05] <mnr>  i just installed vlc .. but its not working
[11:05] <Ben64> define "not working"

[11:06] <sacarlson> as the bug that MagicSpud has might only fail on the amd64 platform
[11:06] <Ben64> well i'm on 64, so nope
[11:07] <mnr> im on 32 bit
[11:07] <Ben64> mnr: that version isn't an ubuntu version
[11:07] <MagicSpud> mnr you already posted a hint: qt4
[11:07] <mnr> so what i need to do?
[11:08] <MagicSpud> go to synaptic and check which qt4 packages you have installed
[11:08] <Ben64> get support from whoever you got that vlc from
[11:08] <Ben64> since its not an official package
[11:08] <sacarlson> Ben64: oh so maybe you don't have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed?  but you can still listen to mp3 and mwv files?
[11:08] <erjoni> ke passa chavalesss
[11:08] <tykayn-ubuntu> ok i had the display_erros to off in php.ini :D
[11:08] <MagicSpud> if any
[11:08] <Ben64> sacarlson: ii  ubuntu-restricted-addons
[11:08] <Ben64> try again :)
[11:08] <erjoni> soi el yonatan
[11:09] <erjoni> vamonos arriba nanoooooos!!"!
[11:09] <mnr> MagicSpud:  im new i dont know how to fix... n what qt4 is
[11:09] <erjoni> pff el samu se ha rayao
[11:09] <Ben64> mnr: where did you download vlc from
[11:09] <Ben64> erjoni: english only here, please
[11:09] <MagicSpud> yeah me neither... mind it is something you need on your sytem for vlc to work
[11:09] <erjoni> yu jave to delete
[11:10] <sacarlson> MagicSpud: so that must be another workaround try install ubuntu-restricted-addons , if that fails still uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:10] <MagicSpud> mnr I would first check out whether it is installed or not
[11:10] <erjoni> ben64 te revientoooo
[11:10] <Ben64> mnr: uninstall that vlc however you got it, and install the one from the software center
[11:10] <Ben64> !es | erjoni
[11:10] <MagicSpud> sacarlson,  okay I ll give it a shot
[11:11] <erjoni> okai grasiaaas benni
[11:11] <erjoni> me fum0o la distancia

[11:11] <mnr> MagicSpud:  i just put this code into terminal...   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:djcj/vlc-stable
[11:11] <MagicSpud> sacarlson,  it says it is already in the latest version
[11:11] <mnr> sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:12] <Ben64> mnr: yeah, don't use PPAs unless you know what they do and what you're doing
[11:12] <MagicSpud> mnr okay which ubuntu version are you using?
[11:12] <Ben64> ubuntu already has VLC, and it works if you install it normally from the software center, no PPA required
[11:12] <therue1> should i do a regular install? or bare install? my goal is to get more familiar with ubuntu for web development, web hosting in the future
[11:12] <mnr> Ben64:  ok man... im new here.. thats the all thing i need to know
[11:12] <Ben64> !ppa | mnr
[11:12] <therue1> having too many soaftware could cause problems sometimes right?'
[11:12] <mnr> ]14.04 lts
[11:13] <Ben64> therue1: not really
[11:13] <sacarlson> MagicSpud: so is ubuntu-restricted-extras a dependancy of ubuntu-restricted-addons?  maybe you could unistall ubuntu-restricted-extras.  there must be something different installed on Ben64's sytem
[11:13] <MagicSpud> sacarlson,  why do you think uninstalling ubuntu-restricted* would fix the problem?
[11:13] <MagicSpud> no idea
[11:14] <sacarlson> MagicSpud: well that's were the bug is located
[11:14] <Ben64> not necessarily
[11:14] <Ben64> could be the file(s)
[11:14] <MagicSpud> oh and reinstall the addons?
[11:14] <Ben64> wma supports funky stuff and that could be breaking things
[11:14] <mnr> Ben64:  so what should i do ? remove the ppa
[11:14] <mnr> ?
[11:14] <Ben64> mnr: if you want support here, yes
[11:14] <MagicSpud> I like funky
[11:14] <MagicSpud> lol
[11:14] <MagicSpud> thats precisely what is not playing
[11:14] <MagicSpud> lol
[11:15] <sacarlson> Ben64: MagicSpud: the package that is documented as having the bug is ubuntu-restricted-extras, as I don't have it installed and I can run all the codecs with no problem then ....
[11:15] <mnr> ok .... how to do that then :D
[11:15] <Ben64> sacarlson: its not even confirmed to be a bug yet
[11:16] <MagicSpud> okay uninstaled do I need to reboot?
[11:16] <sacarlson> MagicSpud: Ben64 well it's confirmed not being a bug for me and Ben64
[11:16] <Ben64> MagicSpud: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37793&p=2851469#post2851469
[11:16] <Ben64> a method to convert a bunch of music
[11:16] <mnr> Ben64:  hey how could i remove ppa?
[11:16] <Ben64> !ppa-purge | mnr
[11:17] <mnr> ok thanx man
[11:18] <MagicSpud> oh thanks for the alternative solution Ben64
[11:18] <MagicSpud> lets fix that vlc problem
[11:18] <Ben64> a little ppa-purge and installing the proper vlc should do it
[11:19] <MagicSpud> mnr so 14.04lts vlc not default installed but you can easily get it from software center
[11:19] <mnr> MagicSpud:  ok man
[11:19] <MagicSpud> I myself like to install software using ppa aswell...
[11:19] <MagicSpud> but if youre doing so you need to satisfy dependencies
[11:20] <MagicSpud> I use to go to launchpad page to do so
[11:20] <MagicSpud> or to the package info page at ubuntu packages
[11:21] <mnr> Ben64:  it says .. 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:djcj/vlc-stable ' it says  'sudo: ppa-purge: command not found'
[11:22] <MagicSpud> mnr you will see in this page : https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/stable-daily a green text saying: technical details about this ppa
[11:22] <k1l> install ppa-purge first
[11:22] <user74747> Hi! I want to make a paswordless telnet user with my ncurses game for a shell. But if you make a passwordless user in ssh, anybody can mess up his files with scp. Are there any similar catches associated with telnet?
[11:22] <mnr> MagicSpud:  ok i'm gonna check this out
[11:23] <MagicSpud> mnr you click the arrow and then you see the repositories you just need to add your ubuntu version there and copy paste those lines into your sources.list
[11:23] <mnr> ok
[11:23] <Ben64> mnr: MagicSpud: installing more ppas is not the answer :|
[11:23] <MagicSpud> the easiest way to do so is to have synaptic installed on your system...oh?
[11:23] <MagicSpud> sorry
[11:24] <MagicSpud> I just tell what I usually do to get latest versions
[11:24] <Ben64> latest isn't always better
[11:24] <mnr> Ben64:  MagicSpud  so i wanna remove the ppa first that i added .. but pppa-purge is not working
[11:24] <Ben64> you need to install ppa-purge first
[11:24] <MagicSpud> okay
[11:25] <MagicSpud> I didnt know about that one
[11:25] <mnr> okay
[11:25] <k1l> mnr: install ppa-purge
[11:25] <mnr> k1l:  ok man
[11:25] <k1l> mnr: its not installed as default, so install it.
[11:25] <k1l> !ppa-purge
[11:25] <MagicSpud> I was telling the way to install latest versions as for mnr seems reticent to use software center...which is the tested version for the system
[11:26] <Ben64> the default ubuntu repositories contain a huge amount of software, probably everything that you could need. PPAs add unnecessary complexity and usually problems
[11:27] <MagicSpud> but you cant install webmin that way for instance Ben64 you will need to add repositories
[11:27] <k1l> MagicSpud: webmin is a no-go
[11:27] <MagicSpud> no-go?
[11:27] <MagicSpud> lol
[11:27] <k1l> MagicSpud: there is a reason it was pushed out of ubuntu and debian.
[11:27] <MagicSpud> what does no-go mean?¿
[11:28] <MagicSpud> ???
[11:28] <k1l> MagicSpud: not good, trash, evil.
[11:28] <sacarlson> user74747: you can setup a passwordless ssh that is still secure or more secure than passwords by setting key pairs
[11:28] <MagicSpud> at school the teacher loves it
[11:28] <k1l> !webmin | MagicSpud
[11:28] <MagicSpud> annoying
[11:29] <k1l> MagicSpud: webmin will make trouble. and then you can do nothing than make a reinstall.
[11:29] <MagicSpud> okay so webmin is a nogo
[11:29] <bazhang> !ebox
[11:29] <Ben64> if you're going to run a server, you should really know how to administer it without fancy tools
[11:29] <sacarlson> user74747: for details about passwordless ssh see http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
[11:29] <MagicSpud> oh no I only used it on virtual box machines...for school practices
[11:30] <k1l> and you dont need to install the latest version of all program. most times the ubuntu version will run fine and you will not even feel a difference.
[11:30] <MagicSpud> and its a real monster with cloudmin and so
[11:31] <MagicSpud> okay
[11:31] <MagicSpud> hey mnr is that vlc running or what¿
[11:32] <mnr> MagicSpud:  just still renoving it lol
[11:32] <MagicSpud> okay
[11:32] <user74747> sacarlson: Yes, I know about it, but it would require few additional commands from the user, and the telnet way seems to be secure, since I'm not sending any passwords over it anyway. Also, I couldn't find a way to log in into a predefined user with ssh. In telnet you don't have to specify the username, just the IP.
[11:32] <user74747> *a few
[11:32] <mnr> MagicSpud:  okay its done... now which way i should install it
[11:32] <MagicSpud> I removed the restricted extras but it is still crashing I dont know whether I need to reboot logout or what
[11:33] <MagicSpud> mnr sudo apt-get update
[11:33] <MagicSpud> and then use software center to install it
[11:33] <arcsky> hi i have some errors while do a apt-get install , http://pastebin.com/3J39d7RW
[11:34] <mnr> MagicSpud:  ok
[11:34] <k1l> mnr: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc"
[11:34] <k1l> mnr: the ppa is removed, right?
[11:34] <MagicSpud> yep that will also do
[11:34] <fwaokda> my chromium context menus have alot of padding. is there a way to solve this anyone knows of?

[11:41] <mnr> Ben64:  im completely new on ubuntu :D
[11:41] <Ben64> mnr: it is probably in the dash if you search for vlc, or in a menu or something, i don't use vlc, not sure
[11:41] <hyde> sacarlson: thanks!
[11:42] <k1l> that vlc is still the ppa one right?
[11:42] <Ben64> nope
[11:42] <mnr> Ben64:  i mean still vlc is installed on software centre... so should i remove it from there?
[11:42] <Ben64>   Candidate: 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1
[11:42] <Ben64> and i don't have PPA for it
[11:42] <k1l> !info vlc
[11:43] <k1l> yes, but he said: 2.1.4+git20141006+r54582+19+11~ubuntu14.04.1
[11:43] <Ben64> ooh
[11:43] <Ben64> i just paid attention to the 2.1.4
[11:43] <customOS> hello?
[11:44] <Ben64> k1l: before he was on 2.2.something
[11:44] <mnr> Ben64:  k1l  : so what should i do?
[11:44] <Ben64> multiple PPAs perhaps?
[11:44] <k1l> mnr: please use a pastebin and put the following output there: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/"
[11:44] <k1l> !paste | mnr
[11:44] <k1l> mnr: its still the wrong version, you seemed to have one some mess already there
[11:45] <mnr> ok
[11:46] <user74747> ...So, I guess, there's nothing wrong with a passwordless telnet access with a application program instead of a shell. Unless the program has security breaches, ofc.
[11:50] <geirha> user74747: maybe look at what services like nethack.alt.org are using. (telnet nethack.alt.org to test)
[11:50] <cyber_dweller> do group in dhcpd.conf are considered known hosts?
[11:52] <mnr> k1l: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 à¦…à¦•à§à¦Ÿà§‹  20 17:28 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 à¦…à¦•à§à¦Ÿà§‹  20 16:39 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  136 à¦…à¦•à§à¦Ÿà§‹  20 17:28 djcj-vlc-stable-trusty.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  134 à¦…à¦•à§à¦Ÿà§‹  20 16:50 djcj-vlc-stable-trusty.list.save -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  146 à¦…à¦•à§à¦Ÿà§‹  20 16:50 videolan-s
[11:52] <k1l> !paste | mnr
[11:52] <cyber_dweller> do host in group in dhcpd.conf are considered known hosts? or i should host them also outside the group to make them known?
[11:52] <k1l> mnr: put it into a paste service. not in here. in here we need only the link
[11:52] <mnr> k1l:  oh ok sorry
[11:53] <mnr> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8601019/plain/
[11:53] <k1l> mnr: ok, so that is still 2 PPAs for vlc. that is pure mess.
[11:54] <k1l> mnr:  use ppa-purge to get rid of them both
[11:54] <mnr> k1l:  ok ...but i allready use  'sudo ppa-perge'
[11:55] <chenqirpr> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[11:55] <k1l> mnr: no. its still there
[11:55] <mnr> k1l:  sudo ppa-purge ppa:djcj/vlc-stable
[11:55] <k1l> mnr: what was the command and what was the output? please copy all that into a pastebin again
[11:55] <mnr> ok
[11:57] <mnr> k1l:  it worked before.. but now it says ... PPA to be removed: djcj vlc-stable Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: djcj vlc-stable
[11:58] <user74747> geirha: Thank you, that was informative. They use dgamelaunch. But I'm not sure what are its advantages over plain old telnet. And I'm not sure if it includes a pseudo-terminal emulation like telnetd. Curses has strange glitches if its stdout is connected to a pipe/socket, and not to a terminal.
[12:00] <k1l> mnr: yes, that is what i meant with mess. :/, try the other ppa with ppa-purge
[12:01] <geirha> user74747: nethack is very much a curses game
[12:03] <jirka_> Hallo. How can I ubuntu-bug code:shutdown?
[12:04] <therue> why did ubuntu change their ui from gnome to unity? now i'm staring at a desktop that looks more like a mobile device :\
[12:04] <k1l> therue: because gnome stopped making the desktop.
[12:05] <k1l> therue: try xubuntu-desktop or Lubuntu-desktop if you want the old style desktop back
[12:06] <jirka_> therue, look at http://ubuntugnome.org/
[12:06] <therue> i see
[12:07] <therue> would it be better for a beginner to use ubuntu or mint? or is there basically not much difference
[12:07] <k1l> therue: ubuntu (because you come to the ubuntu community to ask). for desktops see: http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ
[12:07] <jirka_> Because I help develop Ubuntu, I can say Ubuntu is better.
[12:08] <jirka_> :-)
[12:08] <mnr> k1l:  what is the next step solve it?
[12:08] <k1l> mnr: show the pastebin of what you did and what the output was
[12:09] <mnr> k1l:  it just shows two  lines of info... like this Updating packages lists PPA to be removed: djcj vlc-stable Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: djcj vlc-stable
[12:10] <k1l> !paste | mnr
[12:10] <user74747> geirha: I wish they wrote what's the reason for using dgamelaunch. The article says something about a chroot jail, maybe it is the reason in some way.
[12:10] <mnr> ok
[12:10] <dagon_> does anyone of you have any experience with rfid readers?
[12:10] <mnr> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8601129/
[12:10] <dagon_> I'm currently having a scemtec rfid reader/writer
[12:11] <dagon_> need a driver for rfdump etc.
[12:11] <k1l> mnr: so what about the other ppa?
[12:15] <mnr_> hey
[12:15] <user74747> geirha: ...And it uses telnet too. I guess, I should ask on their IRC channel. Thank you!!
[12:16] <mnr_> hello evryone
[12:17] <mnr_> k1l:  u there?
[12:17] <mnr_> i got disconnected
[12:17] <dagon_> is there even a generic driver for rfid devices?
[12:18] <k1l> mnr_: still the same task for you: remove the ppas with ppa-purge and show the _whole_ output in a pastebin. and not only what you find interesting but everything.
[12:18] <k1l> mnr_: we cant help you if we only see half of what is going on.
[12:18] <aib> where is the udev log?
[12:19] <mnr_> k1l:  could u just tell me what code i should i type in the terminal
[12:19] <k1l> sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory>
[12:19] <mnr_> k1l:  that was the full code
[12:19] <mnr_> k1l:  yea i did it
[12:19] <aib> anyone know where the udev(d) log file is?
[12:20] <k1l> mnr_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8601019/plain/ lists 2 ppas
[12:20] <irgendwer4711> hi, I am doing an dist-upgrade right now. some config files should be replaced and I select "watch it in a shell". now, how to get back?
[12:21] <aib> dist-upgrade? is 14.10 out?
[12:21] <irgendwer4711> aib: no, to 13.04
[12:21] <irgendwer4711> 14.04
[12:22] <irgendwer4711> aib: I am stuck in samba upgrade process :-(
[12:22] <mnr_> k1l:  it just shows the same line
[12:22] <aib> there was some program that run during, that used a weird key combination to exit
[12:22] <mnr_> PPA to be removed: djcj vlc-stable Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: djcj vlc-stable
[12:23] <k1l> mnr_: the other PPA!
[12:23] <mnr_> k1l:  which one
[12:23] <k1l> ....
[12:23] <irgendwer4711> aib: ctrl + d?
[12:23] <aib> irgendwer4711: C+q or +x or something
[12:23] <k1l> mnr_: ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d           lists all your ppas
[12:24] <aib> can you tell what process has your input?
[12:24] <k1l> mnr_: get rid of them all
[12:24] <mnr_> k1l:  ok
[12:24] <irgendwer4711> aib: may be too late. I closed ssh session
[12:25] <mnr_> k1l:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8601245/
[12:25] <k1l> mnr_: yes, and that is crap that you got both ppas installed. that is a mess.
[12:26] <mnr_> k1l:  so how can remove them all
[12:26] <k1l> mnr_: so remove the 2 PPAs with ppa-purge. and first come back if you are done with that or you provide the full output including the command and all messages after that, in a pastebin
[12:26] <k1l> mnr_: its still the same what i tell you since 30min now.
[12:26] <aib> irgendwer4711: wild guess here, any chance it's on a screen? try "screen -ls"
[12:27] <mnr_> k1l:  i think u didnt get me
[12:27] <mnr_> k1l:  its just not working
[12:28] <mnr_> k1l:  can you tell me what should be the code exactly.... from the output
[12:29] <mnr_> k1l:  to remove these?
[12:29] <k1l> mnr_: use ppa-purge for the other PPA, the videolan one
[12:31] <ddssc> got chrome-beta installed but for some reason it won't launch from my stripe and forgets all my setting when I launch it from terminal. how do I make it launch for stripe?
[12:31] <ddssc> ubuntu 14.04 lts
[12:34] <jjavaholic> i'm looking for app to process 7,000 + image xmp metadata which app would you recommend?
[12:38] <k1l> mnr_: so after 1,5 hours i am leaving now. the task is still the same. use ppa-purge to get rid of both ppas. if there is the warning that there is no package list just remove the ppa by hand. after that make sure you got the original ubuntu vlc installed and stop messing around with the ppas
[12:42] <ddssc> got chrome-beta installed but for some reason it won't launch from my stripe and forgets all my setting when I launch it from terminal. how do I make it launch for stripe? 14.04 lts
[12:43] <ddssc> think I installed it as root
[12:43] <cfhowlett> ddssc, installed as ROOT?  why?  anyway that's probably why it won
[12:43] <cfhowlett> won't work.  root owns it.  delete and try again
[12:44] <White_Cat> root is woot
[12:44] <mnr> k1l:  hey still u there?
[12:44] <mnr> k1l:  what was the code to check the ppas?
[12:45] <OerHeks> mnr, to list them:  ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[12:46] <mnr> OerHeks:  ok
[12:46] <bentinata> Hello, anyone know how to run application without screen?
[12:46] <ddssc> cfhowlett: do I need to purge and reinstall with my user using sudo? or is there a way I can make it open with my user, maybe if I give access right to my user to chrome files?
[12:47] <bentinata> Currently I use xdummy, but it give screen not found error.
[12:47] <cfhowlett> ddssc, sudo dpkg -i foo.deb will install and should be available to all.  note: this is NOT root.
[12:47] <ddssc> cfhowlett:  do I need to purge first?
[12:48] <bentinata> While xvfb give segmentation fault in the middle of process.
[12:48] <Pici> ddssc: how did you install it?
[12:48] <cfhowlett> cfhowlett, yep.  I think you need to go to root and dpkg -r foo.deb
[12:49] <mnr> OerHeks:  hey can u help me?
[12:49] <ddssc> Pici as root
[12:49] <mnr> OerHeks:  just having prob with vlc and ppa
[12:49] <Pici> ddssc: How?
[12:50] <Pici> ddssc: Did you run some random script? Did you use dpkg? did you use apt?
[12:50] <OerHeks> mnr, k1l suggested to remove those ppa's ?
[12:50] <mnr> OerHeks:  yes
[12:51] <OerHeks> mnr, sudo ppa-purge ppa:djcj/vlc-stable
[12:51] <ddssc> Pici: apt from ppa as root
[12:51] <OerHeks> mnr and the 2nd:  sudo ppa-purge ppa:videolan/stable-daily
[12:51] <Pici> ddssc: Okay.  Then how did you run the application itself?
[12:52] <OerHeks> mnr this will reverse to the standard vlc
[12:52] <mnr> OerHeks:  i already did those
[12:52] <OerHeks> mnr, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:52] <OerHeks> mnr, still strange errors?
[12:53] <mnr> OerHeks:  updating
[12:54] <mnr> OerHeks:  yes still it does http://paste.ubuntu.com/8601487/
[12:56] <OerHeks> mnr, stange, i think 2 ppa's with the same programm messed up :-(
[12:57] <OerHeks> mnr, what ubuntu version are you on?
[12:57] <OerHeks> current vlc is 2.2.0 in trusty
[12:58] <madrid> hola
[12:58] <mnr_> OerHeks:  u there?
[12:59] <OerHeks> mnr, what ubuntu version are you on?
[13:02] <Pici> ddssc: You likely have configuration files owned by root in your user's home.  Reinstalling/purging the software is not going to help.  You can either try to remove the root owned files in your home dir, or just chown them to your user.

[13:06] <Hacker_AB> yes

[13:12] <Dekker3D> For a piece of software, I'll need to install libboost-system1.48.0, a library that's so old it's no longer in the apt repository.
[13:13] <Dekker3D> I'm rusty with Ubuntu. Can anyone tell me what to do? I've already tried looking for ppa repositories to add
[13:16] <loganrun>  I have a 4TB software raid partition /dev/md127 that I want to back up to a 4TB backup drive that I can boot off of if need be. is "dd if=/dev/md127 of=/dev/sdd" the correct way to do this?

[13:22] <ddr9> hello community members, pls help me in ubuntu installation dual boot with windows
[13:23] <ddr9> on booting the usb drive it says low graphics error and no option
[13:23] <ddr9> to click
[13:25] <cfhowlett> ddr9, try booting with nomodeset
[13:25] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset
[13:26] <OerHeks> xiaoy, i can't find any setting, not in unity-tweak nor in dconf
[13:27] <ddr9> cfhowlett,ubottu: one more thing, last time i somehow installed ubuntu using black window 'terminal', but the heatup was so huge that after 30 mins I had to close the system and uninstalled everything; while this never happens on windows
[13:27] <xiaoy> OerHeks, its strange, not that is a very big problem, but i was used to have a little nice panel with 12, and now I don't understand why i can't change settings with 14
[13:27] <cfhowlett> ddr9, too vague to analyze.
[13:28] <ddr9> okay, I have integrated Intel graphic card HD 4000 and ATI AMD Radeon HD 8570M
[13:29] <cfhowlett> ddr9, radeon is not especially well supported on linux/ubuntu.  nvidia is preferred
[13:32] <ddr9> cfhowlett: any fix to this?
[13:32] <ddr9> by default that Gallium is installed and I guess thats the reason for the heatup
[13:32] <cfhowlett> ddr9, not the kind you'll like: if possible get an Nvidia card
[13:35] <yocapybara> guys is there a recommended way to remove all the ubuntu-desktop software from the system, leaving it just as ubuntu-server?  I've tried tasksel but I just get aptitude failed (100) even after apt-get update

[13:41] <robyver> Ciao
[13:41] <OerHeks> xiaoy, what do you mean with iconize ?
[13:41] <xiaoy> OerHeks, i mean minimize
[13:42] <OerHeks> xiaoy, no, but that should be a feature.
[13:42] <xiaoy> OerHeks, so it's not possible, right?
[13:43] <OerHeks> xiaoy, yes, not possible AFAIK
[13:43] <OerHeks> just the min button on the corner of the window
[13:43] <xiaoy> OerHeks, well, are there any shortcuts?
[13:43] <Dekker3D> Can anyone help me install libboost-system1.48.0?
[13:45] <pbx> xiaoy, yes, you can set a keybinding for minimization.  i use "pause"

[13:48] <pikaren> pbx: to the DE?
[13:50] <pbx> pikaren, by the nature of permissions there isn't much you could set up yourself that you couldn't get around yourself. you might need to enlist a human helper for this one :)
[13:52] <agent_white> Not to mention, if you do lock yourself out and want to get in, you _will_ do it. ;P
[13:52] <pikaren> hmm thanks for the response
[13:53] <vivid> wonderful
[13:53] <vivid> going to get pinged relentlessly on that one
[13:53] <pbx> pikaren, some ideas: http://alternativeto.net/software/macfreedom/?platform=linux
[13:53] <pauljw> pikaren, you might look at RSIBreak in the repos.  It is used to force rest periods to prevent repetative strain injury.  don't know how long you could set the break period for.  it can be set to lock the screen.

[14:40] <mnr_> OerHeks: still u there?
[14:42] <Massrawy> pcatinean ar vx mypackage.deb
[14:42] <Massrawy> Then extract the contents of data.tar.gz using tar:
[14:42] <Massrawy> tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
[14:42] <Massrawy> Or, if you just need to get a listing of the files:
[14:42] <Massrawy> tar -tzvf data.tar.gz
[14:42] <Massrawy> for more info ... http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/
[14:43] <pcatinean> but it's a deb not .tar Massrawy
[14:43] <pcatinean> or am I missing something? :-s
[14:43] <Massrawy> you are
[14:43] <pcatinean> XD
[14:43] <Massrawy> "ar vx mypackage.deb"
[14:43] <pcatinean> that "switches" from deb to tar?
[14:43] <Massrawy> it should
[14:44] <geirha> dpkg-deb -x foo.deb dir/to/extract/in/
[14:44] <pcatinean> hmm, takes quite some time
[14:44] <Massrawy> Please read the link provided ^^^ for more info
[14:45] <mnr_> fresh installed ubuntu 14.04 .... install button is not enabled on softwae center... anyone .. any idea?

[14:47] <pcatinean> :D
[14:47] <L1N> hi
[14:47] <Massrawy> if updating "sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
[14:47] <Massrawy> pcatinean, you're welcome :)
[14:50] <Guest88827> hi
[14:52] <mnr_> k1l:  hey man i reinstalled the ubuntu i need the basic instruction...  would plz help me
[14:53] <L1N> Hi, normally when we format and reinstall windows. We do install a number of drivers. Whereas in Linux, do we need them ?
[14:53] <learning> How to ensure that stunnel connection stays live for long duration
[14:54] <Alkeemik> L1N, depending on the kernel you're using..
[14:54] <L1N> kernel as in hardware ?
[14:56] <Massrawy> L1N, you don't usually need drivers for Linux
[14:57] <loganrun> does anyone how I can make a partition of a particular size in bytes
[14:57] <Massrawy> Kernel is a collection of instructions and codes that have a bunch of drivers already available for the OS, think of it as the heart of the OS
[14:59] <Massrawy> for a more Technical read please check this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28operating_system%29
[14:59] <L1N> kernel comes itself with ubuntu right? we dont need to change anything i assume ?
[15:00] <Massrawy> yes it does and no you usually don't
[15:00] <Massrawy> without Kernel no OS :)
[15:01] <Massrawy> please read the link to get an idea what it is
[15:01] <L1N> thanks
[15:05] <mnr_> install button disabled in ubuntu software center... anyone any idea?
[15:05] <jimmy51v_> how can I set up a login script (interactively) in cinnamon?
[15:06] <tonyt-> thought cinnamon was used in linux mint
[15:06] <Massrawy> mnr_, please read above and let's know the result
[15:07] <catcher> I just upgraded from 12.04 -> 14.04, and I'm unable to use the key bindings to switch to other workspaces.  This is looking like a known bug, does anyone have a workaround?
[15:07] <jimmy51v_> tonyt: apt-get install cinnamon gets you cinnamon on ubuntu
[15:07] <OerHeks> tonyt-, cinnamon was removed in trusty, but will return thursday in Utopic 14.10
[15:07] <jimmy51v_> tonyt: well, after you add the repo.  i'm trying to set up a login script that runs regardless of the user's DE
[15:07] <tonyt-> k
[15:07] <vvver_562> Will 14.04 run well on 2 gb ram?
[15:07] <mnr_> Massrawy:  i dont get it.. what to read.. ?
[15:07] <OerHeks> !info mate-desktop
[15:07] <loganrun> what will happen if I use dd to copy from a partion that is slightly smaller to one that is slightly bigger. i.e. dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 where sdb1 is slightly bigger than sda1
[15:08] <loganrun> will sdb1 be mountable and usable?
[15:08] <digitalcrow> help ! Can i install ubuntu 14.10 beta 2 or still has the problem with mencoder dependencies ?????
[15:08] <OerHeks> loganrun, sure, the left over space will not be used.
[15:08] <OerHeks> !14.10
[15:08] <loganrun> ok thanks
[15:09] <OerHeks> digitalcrow, support in #ubuntu+1 untill release
[15:09] <Alphakarem> mnr_, have you tried a terminal ?
[15:09] <Alphakarem> do you have root access ?
[15:09] <Alphakarem> sudo apt-get install <package_name>
[15:09] <mnr_> Alphakarem: softare center?
[15:10] <digitalcrow> can you tell me why i have 100% perfect 3d performance with linux and on windows 8.1 it sucks ?
[15:10] <digitalcrow> i have intel integrated graphics card
[15:10] <mnr_> Alphakarem:  yes i have root access
[15:11] <BluesKaj> loganrun, you can "fix" the partition after dd has finished by using gparted to "check" the partition which restores the partition a normal state...at leas that was my experience after dd
[15:12] <vvver_562> will 14.04 run fine with 2gb ram?
[15:12] <OerHeks> vvver_562, sure
[15:12] <vvver_562> thanks
[15:13] <anuvrat> Unable to connect my nexus 5 to ubuntu 14.04
[15:13] <anuvrat> syslog flooded with messages https://dpaste.de/LjVr and https://dpaste.de/YWjz
[15:13] <anuvrat> depending upon whether I connect to usb 3.0 or 2.0
[15:14] <Alphakarem> mnr_, are you trying to update your installation or install a new package ?
[15:15] <mnr_> Alphakarem:  i just installed ubuntu 14.04... now i need to install some software
[15:15] <mnr_> Alphakarem:  and i updated successfully
[15:16] <Alphakarem> try to reboot, if that doesn't help try this "apt-get install <enter_your_package_name_here>"
[15:17] <mnr_> Alphakarem: have a look at this someone allready have had the problem...  http://askubuntu.com/questions/90734/install-button-in-software-center-is-disabled
[15:18] <mnr_> Alphakarem: anyway i need to install vlc first... what would be the code in terminal
[15:19] <Alphakarem> sudo apt-get install vlc
[15:20] <fwaokda> my chromium context menus have alot of padding. is there a way to solve this anyone knows of?
[15:21] <squinty> anuvrat:  no expert on this topic but you many want to google for   mtpfs, android and see if your phone is set to mtp (in your phone settings)
[15:21] <Alphakarem> mnr_, it's a bug but as stated on the page you shared, seems like it's a bug, future updates will hopefully fix it. in the meantime you can use terminal or the method mentioned in the link.
[15:23] <mnr_> Alphakarem:  ok i wanna install vlc through terminal... what would be the code for ubuntu repo
[15:23] <mnr_> Alphakarem: donta wanna do it via ppa
[15:24] <squinty> mnr_: he already said  <Alphakarem> sudo apt-get install vlc
[15:24] <mnr_> squinty: ok
[15:25] <squinty> mnr_:  if you haven't updated recently then you might also want to run  sudo apt-get update  first before  sudo apt-get install vlc
[15:25] <mnr_> squinty: yea  i just updated 10 mins ago
[15:26] <Alphakarem> "sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install vlc" this should do it from wheezy repo
[15:27] <OerHeks> wheeza backports ?
[15:27] <OerHeks> uh oh
[15:28] <Alphakarem> OerHeks, :) well .. he can adapt to his need i assume
[15:28] <OerHeks> Alphakarem, please don't suggest that, and if you do, say we don't support it. ( and mnr_ will have issues like a few hours ago)
[15:28] <mnr_> Alphakarem:  but allready did apt-get install vlc... is that ok?
[15:29] <OerHeks> just keep it with our repos
[15:29] <mnr_> OerHeks:  i just did sudo apt-get install vlc .... is that ok?
[15:30] <Alphakarem> OerHeks, he was looking for the syntax of the command this is a syntax of how to get from a repo
[15:31] <Alphakarem> mnr_, yes that ok and perfectly fine because you are using ubuntu's offical repos
[15:31] <OerHeks> mnr_, that is fine
[15:31] <OerHeks> mnr_, you won't see the install button ( geyed out) unless you select a package
[15:32] <OerHeks> *greyed
[15:33] <mnr_> OerHeks:  yeah after selected the install button is just look like disabled.. take look here kind of like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/90734/install-button-in-software-center-is-disabled
[15:34] <OerHeks> mnr_, that is an old bug, sure you are on 14.04?
[15:35] <mnr_> OerHeks:  yess
[15:35] <mnr_> OerHeks:  ubuntu 14.04 lts
[15:36] <redts456> I just bought lenovo z510 laptop with pre-installed Windows 8.1. I like to install ubuntu and completely wipe out Windows and its recover partitions. Is this ok? I hope i dont brick my laptop..
[15:37] <OerHeks> mnr_, i am sure you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade", you might want to run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get distr-upgrade" too to see if there are newer packages
[15:37] <OerHeks> this will not bring you to 14.10
[15:37] <OerHeks> redts456, sounds music to my ears :-D
[15:38] <mnr_> OerHeks:  ok im on this
[15:38] <Insomniac17> Hi everyone
[15:39] <Lucax> Hi, where is system/administration/software services?
[15:40] <redts456> OerHeks, am i doing it right? Should I remove windows specific recovery partitions?
[15:41] <catcher> I just upgraded from 12.04 -> 14.04, and I'm unable to use the key bindings to switch to other workspaces.  This is looking like a known bug, does anyone have a workaround?
[15:41] <OerHeks> redts456, if you never want to go back, yes, but i would keep that, just in case
[15:42] <redts456> Any official guide from community regarding backup in this direction would be preferable
[15:43] <redts456> And ty
[15:43] <NegativeFlare> !backup
[15:45] <redts456> !sbackup
[15:45] <redts456> !cloning
[15:46] <tehcereal> hello i installed gsynaptics and i want to remove it now but when i remove it gpointing-device-settings stays installed
[15:46] <tehcereal> did i install gpointing-device-settings with gsynaptics or its just there?
[15:47] <tehcereal> by default
[15:51] <squinty> tehcereal:  on my laptop here, that particular software is not installed so would image it is not part of the default install... therefore probably in your case it was installed after
[15:51] <redts456> There is a One Key Recovery Button on most of the laptops these days which is used to restore Windows to a factory set restore position. Can ubuntu works same like this and utilize this button for its own backup recovery?
[15:51] <subhojit777> I have updated some applications, and after that I notice the system startup has become slow. How can I fix it. Is there any way I can diagnose the problem
[15:52] <tehcereal> squinty, thx
[15:52] <squinty> subhojit777:   System Monitor, or top or  htop (needs to be installed)  see if any resources are taking excessive cpu time etc
[15:53] <squinty> tehcereal:  yw
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> redts456: you could implement a partition with an image of a working Ubuntu system partition. You can then use dd to spit the image over the top of a standing install (in live CD).
[15:54] <subhojit777> squinty, the startup has become slow. Rest of the things are alright
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> subhojit777: run:  dmesg | less       look for large gaps in time on the left hand colomn (this is time in seconds since the kernel came up)
[15:55] <Lucax> for a beginner, could you mention the basic things that I most probably need like: python, openssl, synaptic..more?
[15:55] <Lucax> it might save me some time
[15:55] <Lucax> :D
[15:55] <joel_> swere
[15:55] <arcade_high> hey guys
[15:55] <arcade_high> and girls
[15:56] <squinty> subhojit777:  oops! sorry misread your question :(
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> Lucax: those things are in a default install, ubuntu is made for linux beginners so has a lot of that stuff already
[15:57] <Lucax> ok
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> Lucax: you dont need synaptic, there is software centre now......
[15:57] <Lucax> oh I figured that
[15:58]  * squinty still prefers synaptic :P
[15:58]  * ActionParsnip prefers apt-fast :)
[15:58] <Lucax> I go on and surf old linux info, haha
[15:59] <arcade_high> prefers apt-get
[15:59] <arcade_high> apt-fast?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> arcade_high: indeed
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> arcade_high: apt-get + axel = apt-fast]
[16:00] <arcade_high> oh okay
[16:01] <Lucax> I am trying to install getdeb to make use of their packages...hmmm, not managing
[16:01] <arcade_high> I don't know i miss the gnome2 days
[16:01] <arcade_high> gnome3 is so bulky and stuff
[16:02] <arcade_high> the unity desktop i cannot get along with anyway
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> arcade_high: unity isnt a desktop, its a shell
[16:03] <arcade_high> i don´t mock ubuntu at all, i switched from windows to ubuntu
[16:03] <arcade_high> yes a shell my bad
[16:03] <arcade_high> but bulky and slow
[16:03] <arcade_high> however it is still great to learn linux
[16:04] <zesterer> Hello? I was wondering if anyone could help me configure the FOSS graphics drivers on Ubuntu. I have an Intel Ivybridge integrated card, and an AMD Radeon HD 7700M Series discrete graphics card. But at the moment, the drivers are only using the intel card for games, not the AMD card (I think)
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> arcade_high: I use openbox as standalone WM, super light :)
[16:04] <arcade_high> ActionParsnip good choise ;)
[16:05] <arcade_high> did you try awesome ?
[16:05] <zesterer> I'm using the proprietary fglrx drivers atm for performance reasons - but they cause all kinds of visual glitches outside of games, and make everything very slow

[16:05] <cryptic0> I am in sudoers list, and would like to change my username.  How do I accomplish this while I am logged in?
[16:06] <arcade_high> but yeah i usually use openbox or xfce aswell
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> arcade_high: not yet but I'm finding openbox ok tbh
[16:06] <Lucax> ok, how to leave a directory, in dos it was cd..
[16:07] <Lucax> say I have /home/lucax/dadadadada how to come to /home/lucax
[16:07] <arcade_high> Action can you simply uninstall nautilus and install thunar?
[16:07] <facepalm> Lucax, cd ..
[16:07] <squinty> Lucax:  leave a space between cd and the dots
[16:07] <Axton> Lucax cd ..
[16:07] <Lucax> aha
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username#34075   you may need to change sudoers in root recovery ode
[16:07] <Lucax> kind of dosy
[16:08] <learning> I am trying to compile stunnel 5.06 but getting this error in "make" step: stunnel-5.06/src/options.c:2123: undefined reference to `SSLv2_client_method'
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: actually, the username should still be in the sudo group....
[16:08] <arcade_high> or do you have to leave the ubuntu files
[16:08] <learning> Any idea how to fix this?
[16:08] <cryptic0> ActionParsnip: does this need rebooting?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: i don't believe so, you may need to log off and on
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> learning: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[16:08] <cryptic0> I take it this has to be done on localhost
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: well....yeah, wherelse?
[16:09] <cryptic0> ssh
[16:09] <learning> ActionParsnip: 12.04.5 \n \l
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: but you are connected to the box you want o manipulate, so commands ran there will act on localhost
[16:11] <cryptic0> ActionParsnip: Ah I see. I can do sudo su -, and then just do usermod?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> learning: did you check the readme file in the install and readme files in the source
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: sure, probably less issues too
[16:12] <learning> ActionParsnip: yea. ./configure make and make install
[16:12] <learning> I get error in make step
[16:12] <cryptic0> ActionParsnip: how do I then get out of root mode?
[16:12] <gladiator-cc> can i install linx (forcedly ? ) to a loopback device. i mean forcing installer to install to a loopback device. since by default it causes errors.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> cryptic0: press CTRL + D or type:  exit
[16:12] <arcade_high> learning did you install build-essential?
[16:13] <cryptic0> ok thanks
[16:13] <arcade_high> apt-get install build-essential
[16:13] <cryptic0> ActionParsnip: user olduser is currently being used by process 1970 (bash)
[16:14] <learning> arcade_high: This error is not due to that.
[16:14] <arcade_high> missing unmet dependecies and libraries
[16:15] <learning> arcade_high: Its not due to build-essential dependencies.
[16:15] <learning> those erros are of different kind
[16:15] <alius> HI ! I need help, How can I create a .deb with a file.sh ?

[16:17] <tehcereal> i use 6/11 pointer speed on windows
[16:17] <sacarlson> alius: I guess we need a bit more info than that as to what is in the file.sh and why would you need to make it a package?
[16:17] <tehcereal> so i want to match that on linux
[16:17] <Maltahl> Hi i have some trouble, when i plug in the secondary display to my laptop i get logged out instantly and if i try to login agian with GUI while having the secondary display plugged in it will just get black screen for a moment and then show login screen agian.
[16:19] <mnr_> OerHeks: hey u there?
[16:19] <mnr_> OerHeks:  just updated n upgraded
[16:20] <arcade_high> Maltah unplug the second screen and go to energy settings
[16:20] <mnr_> OerHeks:  but vlc still not working
[16:20] <Maltahl> arcade_high : im there
[16:20] <arcade_high> switch action desktop lid closed to "nothin" or "ignore"
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: tried renaming it's configuration folder?
[16:20] <alius> sacarlson: hello, I download a software and the file is .sh, I just want to know if it's possible to buil the .deb pkg with dpkg or if I can only do sh my_file.sh ?
[16:21] <gladiator-cc> lol kvirc is interesting it detect live users and zombie ones and shows statistics about it :D
[16:21] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  which folder... where is it?
[16:21] <arcade_high> if there is no such option open a terminal and "dconf-editor"
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: ~/.config/vlc
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> alius: you will need to run it as a scrtipt. What are you installing?
[16:22] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  n how to reaname it would plz tell me on terminal
[16:22] <arcade_high> navigate to org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: mv ~/.config/vlc ~/.config/vlc_old
[16:22] <alius> I want to install netbeans (the latest version) from the official website
[16:22] <sacarlson> alius: the *.sh file normaly is a script file that can be run direct without the need for any dependencies or other libs.  *.deb file are normaly created for that reason to pull in needed dependencies
[16:23] <Maltahl> arcade_high its been disabled already by myself
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> alius: yeah thats how it is done
[16:23] <arcade_high> ah okay
[16:23] <arcade_high> do you have any propiertary drivers installed?
[16:23] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  should i just type vlc then?
[16:24] <arcade_high> video drivers
[16:24] <sacarlson> !netbeans
[16:24] <alius> so the only reason is that there no dependencies with other pkg and I just need to run the script ?
[16:24] <alius> why !netbeans ?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: yes, run it as you expect
[16:24] <Maltahl> arcade_high Yes Nvidia_331 but it have not caused me trouble before
[16:24] <alius> ok thank you
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> alius: sacarlson was trying to see if Ubottu had a factoid for netbeans, apparently she doesnt
[16:24] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  but still not working
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: what happens when you try to launch it?
[16:25] <arcade_high> wait Maltahl i'll try to help you
[16:25] <arcade_high> gimme a second
[16:26] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  in terminal itsays something like thsis http://paste.ubuntu.com/8603663/
[16:26] <Maltahl> arcade_high Yes Nvidia_331 but it have not caused me trouble before
[16:26] <Maltahl> arcade_high ups sorry, yes no problem
[16:26] <sacarlson> alius: I would assume so, but a script can do most anything including install things in a different manner than we normally do in ubuntu.  so without knowing what is in the *.sh file it's hard to say
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> alius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: can you please pastebin the output of:    lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy vlc
[16:28] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  yeah sure!
[16:28] <subhojit777> is there any risk of upgrading kernel?
[16:29] <alius> the script said that I do not have a compatible JDK, what's happen ?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> subhojit777: there is risk in any upgrade]
[16:29] <mnr_> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8603687/
[16:29] <sacarlson> subhojit777: there is always some risk but the standard kernel upgrade method had fallback built in in most case if it fails you can fallback to last kernel

[16:38] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: oh is that what your attempting to do is record other ir remotes to emulate them?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Maltahl: if you arent using ubuntu you are not supported by the ubuntu community. NONE of the "Ubuntu based" distros are supported here
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Maltahl: just like Ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #Debian or Debian forums you will be told to ask the Ubuntu community

[16:40] <Alphakarem> sacarlson, I have a cyberlink remote and I am trying to get the thing to work with XMBCBuntu .. have been doing this for the last 3 weeks and no luck yet
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: run:     dpkg -l | less       then READ the second lot of packages at the bottom of http://paste.eseaf.com/?pid=340
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: if there are packages listed that you dont have installed, install it
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: could you not try a different media player, probably easier than all this fuss
[16:42] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: it seems obvious the first error you show is due to you taking this literaly /home/your-xbmc-user-name/myremote.txt"    I think the  word your-xbmc-user-nam  needs to match your real user name
[16:43] <Alphakarem> a gentleman from #xbmc refered that mentioned link ^^^ as a guide ... "irrecord -list namespace" works however "sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /home/your-xbmc-user-name/myremote.txt" doesn't erroring witha a file not found .... ls/dev doesn't show the file
[16:43] <Alphakarem> sacarlson, yea I replaced with my actual path but still no luck
[16:44] <Alphakarem> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8603824/
[16:44] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  its huge n unreadable
[16:44] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: well the other error you got when the correct user name is used may have more use to us
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: thats why we use less, you can scroll the text up and down using cursor keys
[16:45] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  so what can i do
[16:45] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: from the paistbin it apears you need to run as sudo
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: compare the 2 lists, are there any packages in the link that you dont have installed?
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: its simple reading....do you see the same words in your output as on the page. Nothing technical here
[16:46] <Alphakarem> sacarlson, I am running all commands as root actually
[16:46] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  its fresh installed ubuntu.. n downloaded it just yesterday
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: doesnt matter if it 20 years old, are the packages the same....
[16:47] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: when you paistbin it's best to also include the commands entered to get the results or we can't tell what you are doing
[16:48] <Alphakarem> my apologies
[16:48] <sacarlson> I have a doctors apointment early tomaro so I can't continue to play.  But it's been fun all and good luck to all
[16:48] <Alphakarem> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8603878/
[16:49] <Alphakarem> Thanks sacarlson
[16:49] <nuntwo> hi all
[16:50] <nuntwo> where can i report package dependency problems?
[16:50] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: be sure you look at the directory /dev/ to verify that /dev/lirc0 file exists.  sounds like it may be named something like /dev/lirc1 or /dev/lirc
[16:50] <nuntwo> e.g. i cant install openssh-server or audacity
[16:50] <sacarlson> Alphakarem: good luck
[16:50] <mnr_> ActionParsnip: no dont find anything same
[16:51] <genii> nuntwo: A pastebin of whatever errors you are encountering may be useful
[16:51] <valedances> ciao
[16:51] <rocky> my /etc/lsb-release says i'm running ubuntu 11.04.1 LTS ... shouldn't update-manager show me the new 14.10 release for upgrading?
[16:51] <valedances> !list
[16:51] <punkgeek> hi, im using sed s/1/2/g test.txt but this command didnt change this changed on my file, just show me with this changed, what should i do?
[16:51] <valedances> !alis
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: then install all the package names in the link.
[16:53] <squinty> rocky: no  14.10 hasn't been released yet and update manager doesn't work that way anyways
[16:53] <nuntwo> genii: here is the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8603913/
[16:54] <punkgeek> no body help me?
[16:54] <rocky> oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS made it seem like 14.10 was out
[16:54] <nuntwo> it seems the package that is installed as a dependency is newer than the version on the servers
[16:54] <nuntwo> which is weird
[16:54] <squinty> rocky:  ask in #ubuntu+1 channel
[16:54] <francesco2> good evening
[16:54] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  i tried but .. output can not locate package
[16:54] <pavlos> punkgeek, sed s/1/2/g test >result
[16:55] <francesco2> guys someone could help me to understand how to run on startup a sudo program?
[16:55] <rocky> squinty, haha, chicken and egg problem... do i go into #ubuntu+1 to ask about a release that may have happened, if so they'll tell me to go to #ubuntu much like you just did
[16:56] <squinty> rocky: #ubuntu+1 is the correct channel for 14.10 questions etc
[16:56] <mnr_> ActionParsnip: what does this mean? skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the qt4 plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[16:57] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  how compile the qt4 plugin
[16:57] <squinty> mnr_: fwiw, i just install vlc on my 14.04 laptop here and are not facing any of the dependancy problems you seem to be encountering.  I suspect you may have more problems than just what you are currently encountering.
[16:57] <odinho> squinty: But rocky is on 11.04.  So EOL.
[16:58] <odinho> rocky: Don't upgrade. Reinstall. You're on an unsupported version.
[16:58] <odinho> rocky: If you want, you can still upgrade though, but it's a hassle IMHO.
[16:58] <squinty> oddie:  yes but this is still not the channel to be enquiring about 14.10
[16:58] <mnr_> squinty:  so how to configure all the problem i have?
[16:58] <squinty> odinho:  ^^
[16:59] <mnr_> squinty:  should i change the server location?
[16:59] <nuntwo> so where can i report this problem?
[17:00] <odinho> squinty: Yeah, though I guess s/he wants to go to 14.04, as per what rocky wrote.  (being confused about what's the current version)
[17:00] <squinty> mnr_:  no idea.  I have no idea what you have done to your system but personally if I were encountering such problems I would be more enclined to reinstall rather than waste time chasing down buglets.  If the same situation happens again after reinstalling then a fresh approach to the problem may be possible
[17:01] <mnr_> squinty:  i just reinstalled it couple of ours hour ago... n spending time to solving this issue
[17:01] <squinty> mnr_:  "......encountering such problems after a fresh install...."
[17:02] <squinty> mnr_:  point is you shouldn't be encountering such problems after a fresh install ... period.  yes try switching servers after purging your vlc install and then try installing again
[17:02] <genii> nuntwo: Most likely you have some PPA which installed a newer version
[17:03] <nuntwo> genii: no i dont. this is a clean setup which was just installed
[17:03] <nuntwo> i did the dist-upgrade and i tried several mirrors
[17:03] <nuntwo> the problem persists
[17:03] <mnr_> squinty:  yeah... that skkks...  even nothing installed just vlc is the single programme
[17:03] <genii> nuntwo: Have you done first: (sudo) apt-get update   ...to get the lists current?
[17:03] <nuntwo> yes
[17:05] <genii> nuntwo: Please pastebin contents of your sources.list and result of cat /etc/issue
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: is there no scope to use a different player, like mplayer
[17:06] <nuntwo> genii: i need to know where to report my problem. i am not a clueless beginner
[17:06] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  yes i can... but point is im having some problem that should not happen after fresh install ... even install button is not enable in software center
[17:06] <genii> nuntwo: If it's actually a bug, it would be with ubuntu-bug <packagename> and it will go to bugs.launchpad.net
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: then report a bug, like I said earlier. You can start this process with:    ubuntu-bug vlc
[17:08] <mnr_> ActionParsnip: what would be the code for skype ' sudo apt-get install skype'?
[17:08] <nuntwo> genii: this is not a bug related to a package. it is related to the package archive as it seems
[17:08] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  even i need to install virtual box
[17:08] <genii> nuntwo: Since it comes when you try to install for instance audacious, it would be against that package.
[17:09] <genii> nuntwo: If it needs to be refiled under some other category, whoever reviews the bug after you report it will do that.
[17:09] <nuntwo> ok, thanks
[17:11] <Avenger> i want to learn about virtual machines
[17:12] <lotuspsychje> !vm | Avenger
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: you need the partner repo enabled to install skype
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: virtualbox is in the repos
[17:14] <Avenger> virtual machines are used to run other programs like those for windows right?
[17:15] <brx> whenever i try to install something i get the message
[17:15] <genii> Avenger: Primarily they are used to run an entire other operating system, for whatever reason ( compartmentalizing services, or using a different OS than the host OS)
[17:15] <brx> Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[17:16] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  installed skype but it also dosnt start
[17:16] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  output http://paste.ubuntu.com/8604109/
[17:17] <Avenger> i think i am looking in the wrong areas. i just dont know what to do with my new linux ubuntu. i installed docky. i like docky very much. but it keeps disappearing and i have to launch docky again and again.
[17:17] <Pyro_Killer> Tally chaps, I've tried googling this but can't find a good answer, I need to see the progress of my copying progress, and can't find a good alternaitve, any ideas?
[17:17] <genii> Avenger: If you just have some Windows application you want to run, better to try and see if it runs under WINE first
[17:18] <Avenger> genii : you are a very nice person. thank you for your help sir.
[17:18] <star_prone> Hi!
[17:19] <alami> hello, after suspend, network is disabled some time, can any one help?
[17:19] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  ok so its a symbol error... with skype.. so im gonna face the problem all the way ... i mean with all the software
[17:19] <OerHeks> skype is a MS product, reboot after install :-D
[17:20] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  but if in terminal 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /usr/bin/skype'
[17:20] <Pyro_Killer> OerHeks: this guy gets it
[17:20] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  then skype just starts
[17:20] <banermatt> hi there
[17:21] <DanNL> Hello
[17:21] <Nuovo> ciao a tutti
[17:21] <Pyro_Killer> No bu seriously, is there a more verbose version of cp or some alternativ where I can see progress?
[17:21] <genii> !it | Nuovo
[17:22] <star_prone> I have an Asus laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 installed on it. The laptop has an Nvidia Geforce 750 and I'm using nvidia-331 driver. My problem is that the monitor doesn't detect any resolution and, probably as a consequence, the text displayed is not sharped and the colours are... strange
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: then make an alias in ~/.bashrc and it will run that way each time
[17:22] <star_prone> red is too red, green is too green and bright
[17:22] <Nuovo> where?
[17:22] <star_prone> is it a driver problem, an OS problem or a hardware problem?
[17:22] <alami> hello, after suspend, network is disabled some time, can any one help?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> star_prone: sure its not that Optimus nonesense?
[17:22] <banermatt> I have a problem with hibernation
[17:23] <francesco2> guys it seems mission impossible how can I run on start up a sudo program? I already did the sudo visudo thing and add program to the list of start up program but nada
[17:23] <banermatt> when I execute pm-hibernate it works well
[17:23] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  thats not the solution... will i do that for every programme?
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> alami: if you unload and reload the network module does it come back to life?
[17:23] <star_prone>  ActionParsnip: ?
[17:23] <banermatt> but when I restart the system nothing is saved
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: no, skype is horrible, in general
[17:23] <banermatt> I checked and I have an active swap partition
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> star_prone: if you run:   sudo lshw -C display    do you see an Intel GPU and an Nvidia GPU?
[17:24] <banermatt> do you have an idea where the problem could come from?
[17:24] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  i mean whatever im installing thats not working in a simple way
[17:24] <larry__> i have a flash drive that im trying to copy my videos to in order to upgrade my system. does anyone know a way to make the transfer speed faster?
[17:24] <alami> ActionParsnip: how to load/reload the module?, i just tryed service networking restart, i don't have service network-manager
[17:24] <star_prone> ActionParsnip: yes
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> alami: is it for the wired, or the wireless
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> star_prone: then you have an Optimus system. Look intgo nvidia-prime or bumblebee
[17:25] <star_prone> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8604203/
[17:26] <mnr_> ActionParsnip:  anyway what would be the purge code for vlc exactly?
[17:26] <Nuovo> aiuto!
[17:26] <star_prone> ActionParsnip: can you please explain "Look intgo nvidia-prime or bumblebee"
[17:26] <star_prone> ?
[17:26] <larry__>  does anyone know a way to make the transfer speed faster? usb on ubuntu 12.04
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> star_prone: r esearch them...use the web.....
[17:26] <OerHeks> mnr_, open softwarecenter and remove in there ?
[17:27] <teward> larry__: USB transfer speed is dependent on hardware, too, USB is always going to be slower than, say, the hard drive itself.
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> larry__: what file system are you writing to?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> alami: is it the wireless that goes after you wake up?
[17:27] <larry__> how do i find out which file system?
[17:28] <brx> whenever i try to install packages using apt i get E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[17:28] <mnr_> OerHeks: ok
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> larry__: run: sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a      pastebin the output using http://pastie.org or similar
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> brx: run:   sudo apt-get update      pastebin the output using http://pastie.org or similar
[17:29] <Pyro_Killer> has anyone tried using Tox?
[17:29] <mnr_> OerHeks:  hey is that could be for my country's  server problem
[17:30] <alami> ActionParsnip:yes
[17:30] <mnr_> ActionParsnip: is that could be for my country's  server problem? im from bangladesh
[17:30] <squinty> Pyro_Killer:  surveys are held next door in offtopic channel :P   Better to just ask your specific question rather than "has anyone...."
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> alami: ok, then run:   sudo lshw -C network      under the wireless chip, look for "driver="   what do you see?
[17:30] <alami> ActionParsnip: i use wireless
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> mnr_: the packages are sync'd so are the same
[17:30] <larry__> ok i used pastie.org.. what do i do with it?
[17:30] <Pyro_Killer> squinty: fair enough
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> larry__: copy text to it and hit the big paste button. When the page changes, copy the URL in the address bar and paste to the channelk
[17:31] <larry__> http://pastie.org/9663369
[17:32] <alami> ActionParsnip:driver=iwlwifi
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> larry__: you dont have the USB in now.....there is only sda listed there
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> alami: try:  sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi; sleep 2; sudo modprobe iwlwifi
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> alami: does it start working again
[17:33] <larry__> ok so do it again with flash in it?
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> larry__: yes
[17:33] <alami> ActionParsnip: so i have restarted now, and i have connextion now, if i run this now, i will lost connection to you, but i will try it when i have this issue
[17:33] <alami> okay?
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> alami: fine by me :)
[17:34] <larry__> http://pastie.org/9663377
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> larry__: so you are using FAT32
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> larry__: /dev/sdb1   *          62    15936479     7968209    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> larry__: 8Gb
[17:34] <alami> ActionParsnip: but there is no comand service network-manager restart?
[17:35] <larry__> ..yes whats that mean
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> alami: /etc/init.d/network-manager restart       but the hardware isnt awake so wont do anything
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> larry__: is it an SD card or USB?
[17:35] <larry__> usb
[17:35] <AnthonyUK> Hi all, I installed the 64bit amd version onto a new intel celeron ivy-bridge pc, but some stuff isnt working like it used to.
[17:36] <alami> ActionParsnip: ahh is there a way to solve that permanetly, so i don't have to load/reload module?
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> larry__: what version of USB is the port you are using?
[17:36] <AnthonyUK> i just thought the amd part of the 64bit was just outdated,
[17:36] <larry__> not sure on that one
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> alami: lets see if the reload of the module works fist, then we can make it stick
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> larry__: is the system a laptop?
[17:36] <alami> ActionParsnip: ah okay i will try now
[17:36] <larry__> yes laptop
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> larry__: so....not thought to maybe check the manufacturers website to find out.....
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> larry__: manufacturers post detailed specs of their systems on the Internet you know.
[17:38] <larry__> ok.. so nothing i can do to the system to make it faster?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> larry__: if its USB 1.1 it will be slow
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> larry__: if it's USB 2.0 it should be ok and a defrag may help a tiny bit
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> larry__: if its USB 3.0 it should be super fast
[17:38] <kevindf> I have a OpenVPN server running, in order to be able to use a printer from somewhere else that's in my local network I have to set the OpenVPN server up for a bridged connection right?
[17:38] <larry__> ok
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> larry__: could also make sure you have the latest BIOS. I advise Windows for this unless you use a Dell
[17:39] <larry__> its a dell
[17:40] <catcher> I just upgraded to 14.04, and I can't seem to bind keys to switch workspaces.  It looks like a known bug, but does anyone have a workaround?
[17:42] <larry__> details say its a 3.0 usb
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> larry__: are you connecting the device to a USB port that is blue?
[17:43] <larry__> no
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> larry__: then its not usb3
[17:44] <larry__> ok so find and use that one
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> larry__: be sure you use the safe removal feature before physically unplugging the device too (important)
[17:45] <larry__> ok
[17:45] <AnthonyUK> which ubuntu should I use for a intel 64bit cpu the amd64bit or the i386-32bit?
[17:46] <genii> AnthonyUK: amd64
[17:46] <AnthonyUK> thanks genii
[17:48] <AnthonyUK> how come they still have amd in the release title, i know back in the day amd was making 64 bit cpu's and intel wasn't but that was ages ago
[17:49] <brx> ActionParsnip, apt-get update works, its a very long output
[17:49] <brx> its when i try apt-get upgrade or apt-get install that i get the error
[17:50] <brx> theres no errors show with atp-get update, just a massive list
[17:51] <brx> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/SGzzEsRZ
[17:52] <brx> and heres apt-get install http://pastebin.com/TApdRf7q
[17:53] <brx> i tried the suggested command "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."
[17:53] <brx> same problem
[17:53] <richac> man,  if this was the physical world,  and someone told me i'm too lazy to google,   i'd bite their fucking head off
[17:54] <agent_white> Hahah. If I can't find something, I blame my google params and ask others for what terms to google.
[17:55] <brx> can you all stop talking shit please and help me?
[17:55] <brx> :)
[17:55] <agent_white> brx: `apt-get install recordmydesktop` ?
[17:55] <richac> ya can you imagine,  you go into a "help" room,   and they smugly tell you to go find help elsewhere lol
[17:55] <brx> agent_white, ye that fails
[17:55] <richac> because they are crying they don't get paid
[17:55] <agent_white> Looks like it's from an svn repo
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> brx: what is the output of:   apt-cache policy gtk-recordmydesktop recordmydesktop
[17:56] <richac> only ting I would pay them with,  is a punch in the face
[17:56] <richac> i'd beat them with their linux cds and then go install windows
[17:56] <brx> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/i8UtN8Pp
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> brx: there is the issue, those versions don't match
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> brx: try:  sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop; sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop
[17:58] <brx> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/ijbkVwxw

[18:03] <brx> agent_white, im in linux mint, i dont see the dialog you linked me to
[18:03] <rom1504> the right one ofc
[18:04] <brx> its slightly different in mint
[18:04] <agent_white> Ahhh.
[18:04] <sveinse> I can gain access to X apps using "ssh -X user@server", but how can I forward root X apps when the user has been logged in with ssh and then sudo root?
[18:04] <OerHeks> mint has its own issues
[18:04] <kevindf_> Hello I have created the bash for bridge-start in my /etc/openvpn/bridge-start with the text "https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/76-ethernet-bridging.html#linuxscript" from the bottom inside
[18:04] <OerHeks> !mint
[18:04] <kevindf_> how can i startup this bash file i created in /etc/openvpn/bridge-start/
[18:04] <brx> thanks derFlo
[18:05] <brx> thanks OerHeks
[18:05] <OerHeks> larry614, format for what?
[18:05] <agent_white> larry614: What are you using to format the usb drive?
[18:05] <larry614> flash drive. im putting my videos on it
[18:06] <dreamminder> a little of topic: How often when you give an advice or help someone do you rely on your own knowledge and how often you just google it for that person?
[18:06] <OerHeks> larry614, depends on what machines you want to use it. fat32 would be universal but has a 4 gb filelimit
[18:06] <kevindf_> How to excecute a bash file in ubuntu? Does anyone know
[18:06] <dreamminder> sure
[18:06] <kevindf_> i created a bash file in /etc/openvpn/bridge-start but want to excecute it now
[18:06] <dreamminder> kevindf_, set chmod +x thefile
[18:06] <dreamminder> and then ./thefile
[18:06] <larry614> 15R (N5110)  dell
[18:07] <kevindf_> ok i'll try that out
[18:07] <agent_white> larry614: Are you wanting to use that usb drive on windows as well as linux computers?
[18:07] <larry614> yes
[18:07] <dreamminder> chmod +x sets execute bit so that the file can be executed by user and ./ is a generic "command" for executing anything
[18:07] <backman> dreamminder: googling to confirm my knowledge :-D
[18:07] <Guest26186> can someone help me
[18:08] <dreamminder> I realized that nowadays the ability to find information is just as valuable as any kind of knowledge
[18:08] <OerHeks> never ask and then change your name, guest26186
[18:08] <agent_white> larry614: Do you know the path to your usb device?
[18:08] <kevindf_> dreamminder, i've set the permission set chmod +x bridge-start when in the directory then i type ./bridge start but it says bash: ./bridge-start: Permission denied now
[18:08] <dreamminder> try with sudo?
[18:08] <larry614> physically yes otherwise no
[18:09] <kevindf_> tried says command not found then
[18:09] <agent_white> larry614: Basically, don't plug it in. Run `lsblk` and `df`. Look at the output. then plug it in, and run both again.
[18:09] <agent_white> you'll see which is yours, usually it's /dev/sdc
[18:09] <dreamminder> kevindf_, do ls -l on that directory. If the file you set chmod +x is not marked green then it doesn't have the chmod+x
[18:10] <larry614> what will that do? do you want me to past the output?
[18:10] <kevindf_> dreamminder,  "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   745 Oct 20 19:58 bridge-start"
[18:10] <dreamminder> so it means that it doesn't have the proper chmod set
[18:10] <agent_white> larry614: Check it out yourself, they WILL be different by a single entry. That single entry will be your usb device.
[18:10] <kevindf_> i'll try excute again
[18:10] <dreamminder> it has read write for user, read for group and read for others
[18:10] <dreamminder> try chmod +x with sudo
[18:10] <kevindf_> ok thanks
[18:11] <dreamminder> it's very important to have at least a basic knowledge about permissions in linux
[18:11] <agent_white> larry614: OR... `sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog` and then plug it in, you'll see some lines pop up.
[18:11] <larry614> sdb1?
[18:11] <richac> dreamminder: do you use selinux?
[18:11] <kevindf_> i will try to do sosme more research on that
[18:12] <agent_white> larry614: Mmm what all you you have in the left-hand column when running `lsblk` ?
[18:12] <dreamminder> richac, nope\
[18:12] <dreamminder> kevindf_, can you execute it now?
[18:13] <agent_white> Also, if you think it's sdb1... using `lsblk`, check out the column for "size" and see if it's the size of your usb device.
[18:13] <larry614> http://pastie.org/9663453
[18:13] <kevindf_> dreamminder, still not green, even typed sudo su then went to the directory and tried again
[18:13] <mariusz_k> can anyone help with gpt partition
[18:13] <kevindf_> dreamminder, when i type "sudo set chmod +x bridge-start" it says sudo: set: command not found
[18:14] <dreamminder> because there is no such command as set
[18:14] <agent_white> larry614: If you're on a time-constraint, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/22381/how-to-format-a-usb-flash-drive   -- Though using the terminal is a better learning experience :)
[18:14] <dreamminder> you are supposed to execute sudo chmod+x bridge-start
[18:14] <mariusz_k> got problem with installation of ubuntu
[18:14] <kevindf_> ok, let me try that
[18:14] <dreamminder> mariusz_k, what's the problem?
[18:14] <agent_white> larry614: You are correct, sdb is the device :)
[18:15] <kevindf_> dreamminder, it is turned green now both start & stop thank you ;)
[18:15] <larry614> ok how does that help me with my formatting question?
[18:15] <kevindf_>  Mon Oct 20 20:15:18 2014 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened Mon Oct 20 20:15:18 2014 Persist state set to: ON
[18:15] <kevindf_> :)
[18:15] <dreamminder> kevindf_, very good :)
[18:15] <agent_white> larry614: Now, to format it to a fat32 filesystem, we do `sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1`
[18:15] <kevindf_> thanks
[18:15] <agent_white> larry614: It's another way to do it :P
[18:16] <dreamminder> before you start doing anything in bash get at least a basic understanding of how everything works in linux, otherwise you can do some serious harm to it, especially if you execute your scripts with sudo
[18:16] <agent_white> then make a directory somewhere (in your home folder), and `sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /home/larry/UsbDirectory`
[18:16] <kevindf_> dreamminder, yes i been working for about 1-2 months with linux for first time on desktop and server envoirment so still alot to learn :)
[18:17] <dreamminder> do you like linux, kevindf_
[18:17] <kevindf_> dreamminder, i like it alot
[18:17] <nixfreak> Question: What is the quickest way to install ia32-libs* in Ubuntu 12.04 and then copy it to another Ubuntu 12.04 installation (All of this using the install of Ubuntu 12.04 alternate x86_64)
[18:17] <kevindf_> dreamminder, really enjoying working with it so far especially the server version
[18:17] <zzara4> Hi, I am unsure as to whether the printer driver must be installed with the printer connected or not. First printer connection then driver or first driver then printer connection?
[18:18] <backman> Guest57894: with?
[18:18] <Laurenceb> hi
[18:18] <Laurenceb> i have a problem, firefox kills my pc
[18:18] <dreamminder> Laurenceb, how does it kill it xD
[18:18] <Laurenceb> instant reboot if i load a large jpeg
[18:18] <Guest57894> backman: sorry?
[18:18] <dreamminder> do you have sufficient memory, Laurenceb ?
[18:18] <Laurenceb> if the size is over ~4k pixels
[18:18] <Laurenceb> 4GB
[18:19] <Laurenceb> its memory related, but how come it kills the machine
[18:19] <Laurenceb> that should be impossible surely?
[18:19] <agent_white> What do you mean 'kills'?
[18:19] <Laurenceb> instant reboot
[18:19] <dreamminder> Laurenceb,  do you have swap enabled?
[18:19] <Laurenceb> screen turns off and everything goes dead
[18:19] <Laurenceb> yes
[18:20] <Laurenceb> i hope...
[18:20] <dreamminder> check it
[18:20] <Laurenceb> it may have broken
[18:20] <Laurenceb> yeah
[18:20] <dreamminder> basically turn task manager on
[18:20] <dreamminder> and see if it has swap
[18:20] <zzara4> The printer is a CANON PIXMA
[18:20] <Laurenceb> it does now
[18:21] <agent_white> Laurenceb: You may also want to peek through /var/log/kern.log
[18:21] <Laurenceb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/622849
[18:21] <agent_white> And possibly /var/log/boot.log
[18:22] <ilk> why is FF so slow and glitchy lately?
[18:22] <zzara4> I couldn't get it to work before. Now I am giving it another shot. Want to make sure I am doing everything correctly.
[18:22] <agent_white> Laurenceb: Good find, though 'hanging' and rebooting are very different.
[18:22] <Laurenceb> i know
[18:22] <Laurenceb> not the same as i see
[18:22] <ilk> iceweasel is even worse!

[18:23] <lionrouge> hi !
[18:23] <zzara4> It does not install automatically. (driver must be downloaded and installed, also for scanner)
[18:23] <ilk> re: firefox and iceweasel ----->  http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/b3/b3d24fb241ec203b8c27ae3d4d3fd60e16a6b4f94af1816bdd4e44a8954a4ec9.jpg
[18:23] <lionrouge> after recent update my flashplayer stopped working
[18:23] <lionrouge> maybe i should go for lightspark?
[18:24] <zzara4> Also I am not sure whether to install first the printer driver and then the scanner driver or viceversa.
[18:24] <agent_white> Laurenceb: -ish?  You may want to grab both /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/boot.log and poke through to see what happened right before the shutdown.
[18:24] <ilk> almost all browsers are glitching lately....its gotten so bad i use lynx
[18:24] <ilk> using lynx on mobile sites
[18:25] <lionrouge> ilk, lynx is cool !
[18:26] <Laurenceb> hmm
[18:26] <Laurenceb> it may have been a x sever restart
[18:26] <agent_white> Laurenceb: `/var/log/messages | grep firefox`
[18:26] <agent_white> ^^ :D
[18:26] <EriC^^> i don't think that command does anything
[18:27] <Laurenceb> sudo cat
[18:27] <EriC^^> nevermind
[18:27] <agent_white> ;)
[18:27] <EriC^^> there's no messages anyways
[18:27] <agent_white> No need to cat to grep. Just grep it!
[18:27] <EriC^^> haha, yeah
[18:27] <EriC^^> grep firefox /var/log/syslog
[18:27] <Laurenceb> nothing there
[18:27] <Laurenceb> hmm

[18:34] <agent_white> ;P
[18:35] <larry655> usb 3.0 transfer speed is only 4.7 mb/sec is that normal?
[18:35] <dreamminder> depends on the device
[18:35] <agent_white> Laurenceb: Did you see that `lspci -vvnn` ? Check the output.
[18:35] <dreamminder> I guess you are talking about pendrive?
[18:35] <OerHeks> depends on how many small files too
[18:35] <agent_white> But... maybe just update and see what happens ;D
[18:36] <dreamminder> larry655, if you have a pendrive and it has slow memory then even if it was USB4 (non existant yet xD) then the speed would be the same
[18:36] <larry655> k
[18:36] <Gaming> long time ago when using irc, what was the command to change my name?

[18:42] <ProjectHardcore> Hi
[18:42] <rgb-one> How are you?
[18:42] <ProjectHardcore> I'm fine, how about you?
[18:42] <rgb-one> same :)
[18:42] <ProjectHardcore> how was your day :P?
[18:43] <rgb-one> Its been ok
[18:43] <rgb-one> working on an assignment
[18:43] <ProjectHardcore> aha cool
[18:43] <ProjectHardcore> I've been working at my work, lame
[18:45] <rgb-one> I have a presentation on /etc files
[18:45] <rgb-one> comming up wednesday
[18:46] <h00> I am trying to setup networking on a system with 2 nics. one dhcp, one static. I want the def gw to use an address on the static network. does anyone have any documentation on how this can be configured? Ideally I don't want to do this via the gui
[18:49] <Nokiabot> Hola crap name ubuntu 15.04
[18:50] <ProjectHardcore> Haven't been using ubuntu for a while lol, version 15.04 already?
[18:50] <pavlos> h00, http://www.sudo-juice.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-in-ubuntu-the-proper-way/
[18:51] <h00> pavlos, thanks for the link. I will take a look in a few
[18:52] <ProjectHardcore> guys, simple question; if im using python terminal and filling memories, do they persist in memory after closing the python terminal? I don't think so, right?
[18:52] <agent_white> ProjectHardcore: Nope! Python has a garbage collector.
[18:52] <Nokiabot> Projecthardcore:lol thats due in 2015 i was taking of the name as i can barely spell it :p
[18:53] <ProjectHardcore> haha, ok thanks :D
[18:54]  * OerHeks is making artwork with blue balls for 15.04
[18:56] <jimmy51v_> how can i completely remove a package and all associated configuration files?  ex: package name is BigMessyApp.  apt-get remove --purge BigMessyApp   or something like that?
[18:58] <ProjectHardcore> jimmy51v_ Hi, i tought it was like sudo apt-get --purge programname, followed with sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:59] <jimmy51v_> that sounds familiar
[18:59] <ProjectHardcore> jimmy51v_ what you are doing with that latest command is removing the unneeded packages after you removed the program that used those, so i guess that's what you was looking for :)
[19:00] <jimmy51v_> yeah.
[19:00] <jimmy51v_> i've got a script that installs a lot of tools (and whatever dependencies are needed for them).  I want it such that if they re-run it, it blows away all of the previous and starts over in case they've messed something up.

[19:07] <cryptosidd> i need help please
[19:07] <cryptosidd> why cant i mount my freebsd partition into ubuntu
[19:07] <cryptosidd> http://pastebin.com/PEjF42uL
[19:07] <mansour> hello
[19:08] <Jordan_U> cryptosidd: Please calm down and be patient. Repeating yourself won't get you help any faster.
[19:08] <pbx> cryptosidd, instead of pleading, give more context.  have you succeeded at this before? what context is not in the paste? can you summarize the issue without making people read the console session first?
[19:09] <cryptosidd> the issue is im unable to mount my freebsd hdd in ubuntu, i need to mount it so i can edit 2 file and fix my pfsense installation
[19:09] <cryptosidd> i never suceed no, never had this prob before
[19:10] <mansour> guys i have a question ,,, i've been trying to sniff traffic on my network i tried wireshark i wrote a python scapy code ,, it seems that i cant sniff any traffic other then my on -- i set my interface on promisc by ifconfig nothing seems to work ?????????? what do i doooooo???
[19:10] <cryptosidd> all i need is to write /boot/loader.conf and /boot/device.hints but im unable to mount the partition:(
[19:10] <bprompt> cryptosidd:    shouldn't you be mounting   sda1?  rather than sda?
[19:10] <Nuovo> w i korn
[19:10] <cryptosidd> its sda1, i tryed sda also
[19:10] <cryptosidd> since sda1 isnt working
[19:11] <mansour> helloooo any one !!
[19:11] <bprompt> well... sda would be the device itself...not a mountable partition
[19:11] <Jordan_U> cryptosidd: You are trying to mount /dev/sda, which is a reference to the entire drive. You need to be passing at least a partition number (if not a bsd subpartition). Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". Also note that there are many different variants of UFS, and you should therefore always be careful when writing to a UFS volume created by one OS in another.
[19:11] <Terabyte> hey i'm trying to create an upstart script, but whenever i start it, and check its status it says it's stopped, the upstart script exec's a script that's installed locally, that script contains an exec for java, am i doing something wrong?: https://gist.github.com/danielburrell/bf87ee04fa6d1d8bee7f
[19:11] <mansour> try df -h any see witch device !
[19:12] <mansour> guys i have a question ,,, i've been trying to sniff traffic on my network i tried wireshark i wrote a python scapy code ,, it seems that i cant sniff any traffic other then my on -- i set my interface on promisc by ifconfig
[19:12] <Jordan_U> mansour: df only lists devices that are already mounted.
[19:12] <cryptosidd> jordan as i said i tryed with sda1 also
[19:13] <Terabyte> mansour wired or wireless?
[19:13] <mansour> sorry jordan i wasn't following from the beginin
[19:13] <cryptosidd> and blkid dont list sda and sda1
[19:15] <mansour> guys i have a question ,,, i've been trying to sniff traffic on my network i tried wireshark i wrote a python scapy code ,, it seems that i cant sniff any traffic other then my on -- i set my interface on promisc by ifconfig
[19:15] <mansour> anyone helpa
[19:16] <Jordan_U> cryptosidd: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" anyway. Please also pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo grub-fstest /dev/sda ls -- -l".
[19:17] <Jordan_U> mansour: Try asking in #wireshark.
[19:18] <mansour> i dont think Jordan that the issue is with wireshark
[19:18] <mansour> coz when i sniff on a virtual mechine it works
[19:19] <Jordan_U> mansour: It may not be, but those in #wireshark may be familiar with these problems.
[19:19] <cryptosidd> Jordan_u: http://pastebin.com/zNZFj941
[19:19] <cryptosidd> im 100% sure the partition i need to mount is sda1
[19:19] <cryptosidd> im not able to mount it, this is my problem
[19:20] <cryptosidd> error say i dont use the right fs
[19:21] <Jordan_U> cryptosidd: No, sda1 is not the correct device. sda1 points to another BSD style partition label, which itself has two more partitions.
[19:21] <cryptosidd> ho^
[19:22] <cryptosidd> so what is the partition i need to mount^
[19:22] <jimmy51v_> bprompt:    sudo apt-get -y --force-yes purge PACKAGE; sudo apt-get -y --force-yes autoremove;
[19:23] <cryptosidd> Jordan_U i only see sda and sda1
[19:23] <jimmy51v_> hah!  i sent my previous message to my wife on IM.  i mean to ask if there's a recommended way to choose between echo'ing 'y' or passing -y --force-yes
[19:24] <mansour> jimmy51v_  hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[19:24] <jimmy51v_> mansour: ?
[19:25] <EriC^^> jimmy51v_: i think -y would be better
[19:25] <cryptosidd> Jordan_U:  still there^
[19:25] <mansour>  jimmy51v_ >>>>>>>>>>i sent my previous message to my wife on IM.  i mean to ask if there's a recommended way to choose between echo'ing 'y' or passing -y --force-yes
[19:25] <Jordan_U> cryptosidd: Yes. Please be more patient.
[19:25] <cryptosidd> sorry im in panic mode
[19:25] <cryptosidd> :)
[19:26] <jimmy51v_> thanks
[19:27] <Jordan_U> jimmy51v_: I would recommend almost never echoing y, and only slightly less rarely using --force-yes. The nice thing about a command having a -y option is that you know that the developer thought about what might happen in an unattended situation, and tried to avoid the possibility of -y doing really bad things. That is not true of --force-yes (which implies that the developer didn't think it was a good idea to just ...
[19:27] <Jordan_U> ... blindly always choose yes) and is also not true of echoing y, where the developer didn't plan for it at all.

[19:33] <dyauspitar> java is a bish to update
[19:33] <cryptosidd> well
[19:33] <cryptosidd> Jordan_U^
[19:33] <LMNOP> you can say that again
[19:34] <Pici> dyauspitar: Is there a support question here somewhere?  If not, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat.
[19:34] <LMNOP> he was reporting that Ubuntu was sorking
[19:35] <LMNOP> working*
[19:35] <LMNOP> isnt this the # to discuss ubuntu?
[19:35] <dyauspitar> ok thansk ill join
[19:35] <Pici> LMNOP: This is a support channel.
[19:35] <cryptosidd> Jordan_U can i pv you^
[19:36] <pavlos> cryptosidd, not sure if this helps ... http://rcjbp.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/mount-a-freebsd-filesystem-in-ubuntu/
[19:36] <LMNOP> where do people go to talk about using ubuntu
[19:36] <LMNOP> meh
[19:36] <dyauspitar> I cant find an ubuntu compatible 32 bit download for java 8u25 update
[19:37] <cryptosidd> nope same error
[19:37] <cryptosidd> it say wrong fs type
[19:37] <vitimiti> Hi
[19:38] <LMNOP> may i help u
[19:38] <LMNOP> hi
[19:39] <dyauspitar> hi
[19:39] <dyauspitar> I cant find an ubuntu compatible 32 bit download for java 8u25 update
[19:39] <dyauspitar> I went thro the instructions on java.com but
[19:39] <Slart> dyauspitar: I assuming you're not a java developer since you didn't mention that you're looking for oracle java and not just any java
[19:39] <dyauspitar> when I check my java thro the java site it still reports version 7u25
[19:39] <OerHeks> dyauspitar, if you really need that closed source version, http://ppa.webupd8.org/post/100077683311/oracle-java-7u72-and-8u25-available-in-ppa
[19:40] <dyauspitar> youre correct
[19:40] <Slart> dyauspitar: have you tried the openjdk java that is in the repositories? if it works it's easier to maintain
[19:40] <dyauspitar> I did down load that and its plug in
[19:40] <dyauspitar> ice tea
[19:40] <Slart> dyauspitar: is there a specific reason you need java?
[19:40] <OerHeks> openJDK works for me too, if it fails i question the service
[19:40] <kevindefrene> this might be a stupid question, but what are the advantages of running your OpenVPN server for example bridged on your network compared to non bridged?
[19:40] <dyauspitar> yes i take classes online.  No error yet but I was being proactive
[19:40] <ZZRMike> Does anyone know the default tmp folder for mysql?
[19:41] <dyauspitar> maybe "if its not broke dont fix it?"
[19:41] <Ben64> you'll usually have much less trouble using the one in the ubuntu repositories
[19:41] <dyauspitar> maybe i have ice tea plug in enabled and thats why its working
[19:41] <Slart> dyauspitar: I would go with openjdk then, for now.. and if you run into problems you can switch to oracle java.. I doubt you'll see any differences in your course
[19:41] <dyauspitar> I havent actually had a problem yet, just the java.com version check
[19:41] <nulldata> Hey
[19:42] <dyauspitar> okay ill stay with my config
[19:42] <dyauspitar> Thanks Slart
[19:42] <Slart> dyauspitar: you're welcome
[19:42]  * dyauspitar puts the kettle on for some tea
[19:43] <nulldata> I've just bought a new laptop ( Acer Aspire E 15 ) and both under the installation ( from USB ) and now that the system is installed the touchpad doesn't work.
[19:43] <nulldata> I've tried the `modprobe psmouse` trick but no luck
[19:44] <nulldata> The touchpad device isn't listed under `xinput` either
[19:44] <pavlos> cryptosidd, there is a ufsutils package, do you have that?
[19:45] <nulldata> Only "Virtual core XTEST pointer" and an empty string is listed under "Virtual core pointers", the empty string pointer the id: 11
[19:45] <capruro> Hi
[19:46] <EriC^^> hi
[19:49] <capruro> anyone can help me whit ssh?
[19:50] <dyauspitar> any funny bot commands in this channel?
[19:50] <genii> dyauspitar: The amusing ones are reserved for #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:51] <dyauspitar> thnx
[19:51] <Nokiabot> Dyausptair:unfortunately no infobot here :(
[19:52] <dyauspitar> oh I see

[19:53] <nulldata> Hmm it seems like I have the same problem as this guy, but his problem haven't received any attention either: http://askubuntu.com/questions/530896/touch-pad-dosent-work-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-dual-boot-with-windows-8
[19:54] <LMNOP> this blows i have to go to the store because i forgot stuff and then i have to try to install ubunto
[19:55] <LMNOP> maybe some help
[19:56] <Slart> LMNOP: what seems to be the problem?
[19:56] <LMNOP> for starters i dunno which version
[19:56] <Slart> LMNOP: of regular desktop ubuntu?
[19:56] <k1l_> LMNOP: "ubuntu"
[19:57] <LMNOP> i kinda want a pxe setup if poss but yeah deskto[
[19:57] <k1l_> LMNOP: if you make a more specific question you get more specific answers
[19:57] <LMNOP> it is for games
[19:57] <LMNOP> yeah totally
[19:58] <k1l_> pxe is a install setup, you are aware?
[19:58] <Slart> LMNOP: sounds like you want a regular desktop install.. I would go with 64 bit if your cpu can handle it
[19:58] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: If this is the first time you're installing Ubuntu for the first time, doing so via PXE is probably not a good idea.
[19:58] <Quantumpants> hi guys, can anybody tell me how to get itunes for my ubuntu
[19:58] <LMNOP> i do pxe so i can fire up a bunch of vms
[19:58] <arubi> Hi all, today I got this message on my motd : "/dev/sda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot". this is my /boot partition. running 14.04.1 Server 32bit, this never happened before (been running for months now). should I be worried?
[19:59] <LMNOP> to test it there are sooooooo many distros
[19:59] <k1l_> Quantumpants: ask apple for a linux client :) or use wine to use the windows one
[19:59] <Slart> Quantumpants: use wine and a windows version of itunes? I'm not sure if there is an itunes for ubuntu/linux
[19:59] <Quantumpants> thanks guys
[19:59] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: PXE and virtual machines are mostly orthoginal concepts. What is your end goal?
[20:00] <Slart> arubi: it does that every X boots in the default settings.. not sure if X is 10 or 30 or whatever.. but it's quite normal
[20:00] <LMNOP> i want to be able to use a pxe boot
[20:00] <LMNOP> Jordan_U, ^
[20:00] <LMNOP> it is my preferred method for booting
[20:00] <troii> discordianuk has been admitted into hospital
[20:00] <Jordan_U> Quantumpants: I would highly recommend that you just use one of the native music library software options available in Ubuntu instead of trying to use iTunes.
[20:01] <arubi> Slart, thanks. not much rebooting was done on this machine, but it is running for a long time now. good to know it's a 'once in a while' thing.
[20:01] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: Why do you wnat to boot via PXE? What machine will be running the tftp server?
[20:01] <LMNOP> probably a windows vm
[20:02] <LMNOP> i have a lot of hardware with no cdrom
[20:02] <arubi> Slart, I mean, I checked SMART right after I saw this and everything was ok, so I wasn't too worried. thanks for the tip.
[20:02] <k1l_> LMNOP: you can install ubuntu from usb-pen drive
[20:02] <LMNOP> no i cannot
[20:02] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: What machine will be running the tftp server though?
[20:02] <LMNOP> a vm
[20:02] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: On what physical machine?
[20:03] <LMNOP> my Arch Linux PC
[20:03] <Avenger> i downloaded and set up docky. I really enjoy it. but it keeps closing and disappearing randoly. is there any way to get it perminatly attached to the desktop? or maybe there is another solution other than docky?
[20:03] <k1l_> LMNOP: so what is your actual ubuntu issue?
[20:03] <LMNOP> well i want to know which version and i want to use ubuntu for gaming
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> Avenger  Cairo is similar, install it, so you can select it in Lightdm
[20:04] <LMNOP> that is when i get back from the store because i forgot a bunch of shit
[20:04] <ido_> Hello everyone! I'm trying to test out Ubuntu Desktop Next. When I boot the Live USB, I get a "Not a COM32R image" error. By pressing TAB and typing "live", I can get to the desktop environment, but am greeted to a black screen with nothing but a cursor on it. Is there a way to run the USB on live mode?
[20:05] <Avenger> MonkeyDusk : i am very new still. where can i get it, and what do you mean by  Lightdm?
[20:05] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: Ubuntu 14.04, which is the latest release, and is also a long term support release.
[20:05] <k1l_> LMNOP: the answer is plain "ubuntu" if you dont specify anything
[20:05] <ido_> I'm running a machine with i5-760 and GT220 by the way
[20:05] <LMNOP> i wnat to have a grub partition
[20:05] <LMNOP> that i can select iso
[20:05] <LMNOP> mainly Ubuntu, Fedora
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> Avenger  cairo is in the software center; Lightdm is the login menu
[20:06] <LMNOP> Jordan_U, ok as long as it has the latest nvidia
[20:06] <LMNOP> blob
[20:06] <Avenger> MonkeyDust : sudo apt-get install Cairo?
[20:06] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: We can help with booting Ubuntu isos via grub, but not with booting Fedora isos via grub. For booting Fedora isos via grub, you'll have to ask in #fedora (though off the top of my head, I don't think they support loop booting at all).
[20:06] <BluesKaj> ido_, try disabling secure mode in the uefi/bios
[20:06] <Rienzilla> Hey there. If I change /etc/security/limits.conf to increase the max number of open files, what do I do to activate that change?
[20:07] <LMNOP> well it will NEED to boot from iso
[20:07] <LMNOP> they don't?  so they changed it mayhaps
[20:08] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: Ask in #fedora and find out.
[20:08] <ido_> BluesKaj: Is it possible that it is even enabled if stable ISO's and beta versions work and only Desktop Next daily doesn't?
[20:08] <MonkeyDust> Avenger  i guess it's called cairo-dock
[20:08] <k1l_> LMNOP: last time now: what is your actual specific ubuntu question?
[20:08] <LMNOP> when i get back from the store i need dish soap
[20:08] <LMNOP> ok heres another specific q k11
[20:09] <LMNOP> k11 where is some docs on PXE
[20:09] <k1l_> !pxe | LMNOP
[20:09] <LMNOP> pm me if u want i bbl thx
[20:09] <LMNOP> !fail
[20:09] <pavlos> Rienzilla, just logout/login will do
[20:09] <Jordan_U> LMNOP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[20:09] <LMNOP> ahh thank you
[20:10] <LMNOP> bbl
[20:10] <Rienzilla> pavlos: it's for a process that is started via start-stop-daemon -c user:group
[20:11] <CryptoSiD> hey Jordan_U problem fixed, i used mfsbsd
[20:11] <CryptoSiD> and you were right, there is 2 other partition
[20:11] <talisman87> ll
[20:12] <Rienzilla> hmm, and even logout/llogin doesn't work
[20:13] <pavlos> Rienzilla, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108603/do-changes-in-etc-security-limits-conf-require-a-reboot
[20:14] <Rienzilla> pavlos: that's apparently not true
[20:14] <Rienzilla> a new ssh session still has the old values
[20:16] <alexgl> I need to figure out a way to create and deploy images of windows 7 drives and I would like to use an ubuntu virtual machine as the server. VM issues aside, so far trying to setup clonezilla on 14.04 lts is just plain old agravating as the packages do not mach instructions I can find. Has anyone had success with this combo ubuntu 14.04 lts and clonezilla drbl for win7?
[20:18] <arubi> alexgl, this isn't an answer to your question, but as a side note, I was successful in running a live win7
[20:18] <arubi> (tbc)
[20:18] <alexgl> arubi: the live clonezilla cd?
[20:18] <arubi> over pxe-tftp from hiren's bootcd
[20:19] <arubi> I clonezilla is a major part of drbl so.. but I didn't try running that
[20:20] <arubi> (sorry for the typos, I'm not on my native keyboard)
[20:20] <alexgl> arubi: that's part of the problem, when configuring drbl on 14.04 it says i'm missing a bunch of packages
[20:20] <arubi> like which?
[20:21] <Jarli> Anyone out there familiar with Gnome Nanny?
[20:21] <alexgl> arubi: mkswap-uuid drbl-chntpw mkpxeinitrd-net freedos
[20:22] <arubi> you should probably run some type of dhcp server and tftp server
[20:23] <arubi> alexgl, is the ubuntu setup only there to host the win7 image? maybe use the drbl image and that's it?
[20:24] <alexgl> arubi you don't need a full ubuntu server running drbl?
[20:24] <alexgl> arubi could you point me to a link where i can see how to set it up?
[20:25] <Jordan_U> alexgl: How did you try to install drbl?
[20:25] <arubi> alexgl, http://drbl.sourceforge.net/
[20:25] <Jarli> #ubuntu-gnome
[20:25] <arubi> more specifically : http://drbl.sourceforge.net/download/
[20:26] <arubi> the live image is perfect
[20:28] <alexgl> Jordan_U: I've been going through how-to on clonezilla and the official ubuntu how-to at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Clonezilla_Server_Edition
[20:31] <Jordan_U> alexgl: At what point did you get the error message about missing a bunch of packages? Did you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list at all?
[20:33] <alexgl> Jordan_U arubi i am actually a bit stuck at Server Setup for clients step on that last link I sent
[20:33] <alexgl> Jordan_U arubi I thought I added it with a command, it was last week...
[20:35] <Jordan_U> alexgl: You thought you added what with a command? The instructions about editing your sources.list are only for 6+ year old versions of Ubuntu, so you really shouldn't have followed them.
[20:35] <alexgl> Jordan_U: I did notice that so I wasn't able to follow that step
[20:35] <arubi> alexgl, on that live image, two scripts are on the desktop. one for setting up drbl (for pxe booting iso's or for thin clients), and the other for setting up a clonezilla server. both pretty much automatic
[20:36] <Jordan_U> alexgl: Good. Did you run "sudo apt-get install drbl" to install drbl?
[20:37] <alexgl> Jordan_U: i found it in the Ubuntu Software Center and installed it through that
[20:38] <alexgl> Jordan_U: it says drbl is already the newest version.
[20:39] <Jordan_U> alexgl: Great. So where were you seeing an error message about "missing a bunch of packages"?
[20:40] <Happy10years> Happpy birthday!
[20:41] <alexgl> Jordan_U: i ran this: drblsrv -i
[20:42] <Jordan_U> alexgl: Please pastebin the exact output of that command.
[20:43] <alexgl> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606249/
[20:43] <alexgl> Jordan_U: at the bottom
[20:44] <Avenger_> Is there an app to use with linux ubuntu for defraging the hard disk? i remember old versions of windows my dad would always defrag
[20:45] <dyauspitar> yeah good question
[20:45] <k1l_> Avenger_: ubuntu uses another filesystems that dont need that
[20:45] <pavlos> Avenger_, linux does not need defrag
[20:45] <Avenger_> oh no kidding.
[20:45] <dyauspitar> okay best OS ever
[20:45] <bekks> Avenger_: Linux isnt Windows, and linux filesystems work quite differently - no need to defrag on linux.
[20:45] <Avenger_> that is really neat.
[20:46] <Avenger_> you are both nice people. thank you for the support.
[20:48] <Jordan_U> alexgl: I'm not sure how do deal with that.
[20:52] <vox_> ATTENZIONE: Non e' stata intercettata la versione originale di lynx.
[20:52] <vox_> Questo script e' in grado di funzionare sono con lynx e non links2.
[20:52] <k1l_> !it | vox_
[20:53] <alexgl> Jordan_U arubi so is 14.04 LTS just too new for drbl?
[20:53] <alexgl> on drbl page they say instructions work for 14.04 but... they don't seem to
[20:54] <bekks> alexgl: They dont see to what? :)
[20:55] <alexgl> bekks: at the bottom of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606249/ and this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606374/
[20:56] <arubi> alexgl, I think you might not have all the needed repositories, take a look at this : http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl/pool/drbl/stable/
[20:56] <arubi> all those missing packages are found there
[20:58] <miss_sunshine> d
[20:58] <miss_sunshine> str(round(1,7)) in Python, then how can I make it return 1,70?
[21:01] <trism> miss_sunshine: round(1, 7) would round the number 1 to 7 digits, which is still 1, also #python is more appropriate to these sorts of questions
[21:03] <alexgl> arubi: how would i ad them to sources?
[21:04] <bekks> alexgl: Described here: http://drbl.sourceforge.net/installation/02-install-required-packages.php
[21:05] <bekks> alexgl: As you can see the URL for the packages is the same for 12.04 to 13.10, so a quick look at the URL content should reveal that they will work on 14.04 as well.
[21:08] <JCT> what's that unity3d webplayer fork being called on ubuntu again? i sitalled it and forgot it's name, but i'm running xubuntu and chromium, and the unity3d web games won't launch even though i installed it
[21:09] <JCT> it uses wine and i have wine already
[21:09] <JCT> do i have to start a program for it to work?
[21:09] <trism> JCT: you should check if it works in firefox, it is probably an NPAPI plugin and so won't work in chrome/chromium anymore
[21:09] <arubi> alexgl, I can't find that repo's gpg key, but technically you'd need to create a file "drbl.list" in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/", and in it paste the line "deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl/ drbl stable"
[21:10] <JCT> yea, i noticed chromeapps that use NPAPI don't work almost at all...
[21:10] <JCT> okbai
[21:10] <arubi> alexgl, then `sudo apt-get update`, and those packages should be found next time. if they're compatible with 14.04, I can't really tell...
[21:11] <MagicSpud> hello why Terminal is not among the options to open a script in shell? using ubuntu 14.04 hre
[21:12] <MagicSpud> and how could I bring it up
[21:13] <alexgl> arubi bekks ok i got it to pull them from drbl repository, i think
[21:13] <OerHeks> JCT go for PPAPI  versions, like pepperflash
[21:14] <arubi> alexgl, you can try running `apt-cache policy <package-name>` for each of the packages that were not found. if you're getting a sane output out of that, then you have a source for those packages.
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  right click on the file, properties > permissions > Allow executing etc
[21:14] <MagicSpud> done
[21:14] <alexgl> arubi: so far so good it's downloading them and looks like unpacking
[21:15] <MagicSpud> but it will open the file with gedit MonkeyDrone
[21:15] <MagicSpud> but it will open the file with gedit MonkeyDust
[21:15] <arubi> great, hope those really are compatible ubuntu debs'
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  right click, open with
[21:15] <MagicSpud> yep and terminal is not in the list!
[21:17] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  after you set "make executable", it should ask if you want to run it terminal
[21:17] <MagicSpud> It wont
[21:18] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  then i don't know
[21:18] <MagicSpud> I only can run it from terminal
[21:18] <alexgl> Jordan_U arubi bekks thank you guys, looks like it's installing packages now
[21:18] <MagicSpud> pathfinding the file
[21:19] <MagicSpud> thanks anyway MonkeyDust, I think I ll add a shortcut the old way
[21:19] <arubi> good luck alexgl
[21:21] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust, I got it working adding first the shortcut in main menu using alacarte
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  great!

[21:24] <acerspyro> iei
[21:26] <ses1984> i have a samba share set to mount in /media/foo when i boot, and on my desktop i have some symlinks pointing to locations within this share. am i doing something wrong or atypical here?
[21:26] <ses1984> if my network flakes out even a little bit, the symlinks report as broken, even after the network comes back
[21:26] <ses1984> i either have to delete and recreate the symlinks, or restart the desktop environment
[21:27] <ses1984> is there some other pattern i can follow instead that will be more tolerant of a flakey network?
[21:28] <arubi> acerspyro, what's the output of `ls -l ~/.gimp-2.8` ?
[21:28] <rcix> got a bit of a puzzle for everyone here
[21:28] <rcix> i use ibus-hangul, and i was troubleshooting some issues with it (mostly by reinstalling things)
[21:28] <acerspyro> rcix: What's blue and teleports?
[21:28] <rcix> lol acer
[21:28] <ghutzriop> HI! I'm using ubuntu 14.10 and I have both kde and gnome installed. now I try to use an vpn, but even tough the network manager says it's connected, it is simply ignored(whatismyip.com shows my original ip). how can solve this?
[21:28] <rcix> and when removing and reinstalling ibus and ibus-hangul
[21:29] <rcix> ...i no longer have a system settings app
[21:29] <rcix> either that or im completely forgetting what its called

[21:33] <kostkon> simonor, #ubuntu+1 for 14.10
[21:33] <rcix> well okay then
[21:33] <rcix> for some reason it decided to remove unity-control-center
[21:33] <rcix> to apt-get
[21:33] <simonor> Thanks KostKon. Ciao.
[21:35] <ghutzriop> xangua: kthxbye

[21:57] <acovrig> Is it possible for Client laptop to connect to a LAN behind another OpenVPN client (see this diagram: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606998/)?
[22:00] <ajax0x217> Things are dead here
[22:00] <genii> ajax0x217: It ebbs and flows. Should be pretty busy in 3 days when 14.10 arrives.
[22:01] <Avenger_> Docky keeps disappearing! im getting pissed now. why does it keep going away? all i want is a neat task bar at the bottom of my screen!
[22:01] <ajax0x217> haha I cant wait for that
[22:01] <MagicSpud> hello! one particular case here in which I formated system partition when upgrading but not home one...the point is all the programs installed using wine are still there but the menu shortcuts are not working...which would be the best way to re-sync or if better to re-create them?
 First timer
[22:03] <ajax0x217> Why do I feel so happy to be on IRC? The geek part of my soul is amazed
[22:06] <kaddi> ok, for the last few days Iǘe had horrible issues with my wifi.. can't stay connected for more than a few minutes before the transmitted rate drops to 0b/s
[22:10] <Hardcore7> kaddi, i know your trouble; it sucks...
[22:10] <Hardcore7> have you tried a different driver?
[22:10] <MagicSpud> just to get to understand wine a bit better...does it work entirely from the home folder...or does it need host system files to get the applications working?..I guess as being installed on ubuntu via apt... It is just like anyother program and I will need to reinstall all the applications I got on the previous ubuntu version...right?
[22:10] <tgm4883> kaddi: what card?
[22:11] <kaddi> i ve reverted to a previous kernel version, which improves things a bit
[22:11] <kaddi> lemme get that for you.. i've witched to win8 for now
[22:11] <kaddi> (and knowing how much i dislike win8... that means a lot :p)
[22:11] <kaddi> itś intel
[22:12] <tgm4883> MagicSpud: I believe that is incorrect. You have a ~/.wine/ folder that contains all of your windows programs and stuff. You would need to install Wine after the upgrade, but it should automatically see everything you previously installed
[22:12] <MagicSpud> thanks for the tip
[22:12] <tgm4883> kaddi: I don't know the current status, but I recall seeing quite a few posts about the intel drivers and needing to disable N and/or power management on them
[22:12] <MagicSpud> that was my first thought...
[22:12] <ajax0x217> I switched from windows to Ubuntu and I am alot happier than before must be the trust tar taste it has
[22:13] <kaddi> MagicSpud, iǘe already done that.. it helped until about 2 weeks ago
[22:13] <MagicSpud> but trying to sync shortcuts with wine folder applications is driving me nuts
[22:13] <Hardcore7> i'm running a quadraboot xD windows 2012 R2, windows 8.1, arch linux and ubuntu xD
[22:13] <MagicSpud> it didnt work kaddi
[22:13] <kaddi> MagicSpud, how do you mean?
[22:14] <Hardcore_> xxx
[22:14] <kaddi> ah sorry, got you mixed up
[22:15] <kaddi> tgm4883, itś a samsung ativ book 9 with an intel ac7260 wifi card. I think this problem relates to mine: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2014-10/msg14009.html
[22:16] <squinty> MagicSpud:  fwiw, there is a #wine channel here on freenode
[22:17] <madalin__> screen
[22:20] <tgm4883> kaddi: were you able to test what david wood stated was helping him in that bug report
[22:20] <tgm4883> kaddi: also, it's much easier to follow that bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1354975
[22:20] <kaddi> no, not yet. tgm4883... just found it now that iḿ able to actually use the wifi to google

[22:20] <zenman11_> had 12.04 server (encrypted homedir) on an ssd, attempted to remove cryptswap using instructions here: http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/29155. machine no longer boots, am i totally screwed trying to erase this drive?
[22:21] <zenman11_> i just want to zero the drive out, can't even mount it on a mac, or pc either - not being recognized
[22:22] <kaddi> tgm4883, gonna try now bbiaw
[22:23] <bean1020> @zenman11 try zeroing the drive and starting from scratch
[22:23] <genii> Alternately, just zero out the MBR
[22:23] <squinty> zenman11_:  gparted see it maybe?
[22:24] <t-ask> Hi, Has anyone a nice triple head xorg.conf file with just one graphics card working? I'm using the Nvidia 770 with three screens while two of them are from the same manufacturer and all are FullHD.
[22:24] <zenman11_> bean1020: i want to zero it out, but all i have is a mac and a pc, neither of which can detect the drive
[22:24] <zenman11_> squinty: i don't have another linux machine
[22:24] <zenman11_> squinty: unless i use virtualbox on my windows pc maybe - but i doubt it'll be able to see the drive there
[22:25] <squinty> zenman11_:  gparted live usb or cd/dvd
[22:25] <ObrienDave> zenman11_, try a live cd/dvd?
[22:25] <zenman11_> ObrienDave, squinty : don't have an optical drive
[22:25] <zenman11_> basically fucked
[22:25] <ObrienDave> install live system to USB stick?
[22:25] <Spec> zenman11_: language pls
[22:26] <cinnamonrollz> Guys Ive got a question, Whats the last build of ubuntu that doesnt require pae
[22:26] <zenman11_> i guess i could make a live usb, boot my windows pc up with that, and attempt it?, sorry Spec
[22:26] <squinty> zenman11_:  read my comments again and please remember this is a family channel
[22:26] <bean1020> @zenman11_ give me a second, you can make a bootable usb to wipe it
[22:27] <zenman11_> squinty: if i do a live usb, i'd have to use my windows pc - boot that up using the usb stick, and then plug in the ubuntu drive with another usb thingy, and then wipe it?
[22:27] <squinty> zenman11_:  why not just plug it in to the machine with the problem?
[22:28] <zenman11_> squinty: it's mobo doesn't support usb booting - it's from 2006 lol
[22:28] <zenman11_> squinty: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
[22:28] <squinty> zenman11_:  pretty much limits your choice then  :)
[22:28] <ObrienDave> BIOS might have "external drive". try that
[22:29] <zenman11_> ObrienDave: it has "Removable" which corresponds i guess to a floppy
[22:29] <bean1020> @zenman11_ do you have dvd booting then? or cd booting
[22:29] <zenman11_> bean1020: i don't have any optical drive, no
[22:29] <ObrienDave> no optical
[22:29] <Bashing-om> cinnamonrollz: see; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211590 .
[22:29] <bean1020> @zenman11_ http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
[22:29] <bean1020> try going there
[22:30] <bean1020> see if one of those will work for you
[22:30] <squinty> bean1020:  no need for the @ when typing someones nick
[22:30] <bean1020> squinty thanks!
[22:30] <squinty> bean1020: yw
[22:30] <zenman11_> bean1020: does this software require that the OS can see the disk? If so, it won't work - no OS I have can recognize the drive
[22:30] <bean1020> squinty does it turn a different color when I use your username? I am very new to the irc
[22:31] <EriC^^> zenman11_: virtualbox can see the disk if you use a rawdisk image
[22:31] <bean1020> zenman11_ try hooking it up into your windows computer and reboot the computer
[22:31] <squinty> bean1020:  yes.  you can type the first few letters of someones nick and then press the tab key for auto complete
[22:31] <zenman11_> bean1020: i'll give it a shot, thx - EriC^^: what do you mean by rawdisk?
[22:31] <bean1020> squinty,  that makes it so much easier too
[22:32] <EriC^^> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[22:32] <bean1020> zenman11_, after the reboot, open up diskmanagement
[22:32] <squinty> bean1020:  some irc software will also allow  double click on the nick and then paste so no typing is needed
[22:32] <EriC^^> zenman11_: you create a file that represents the disk, and use it as the vm's disk
[22:33] <zenman11_> bean1020: right now when i go in diskmanagement, it can see the disk - it wants to initialize it, but then fails saying "Disk not ready". I'm guessing this is just the encrypted partition failing to mount
[22:33] <bean1020> zenman11_, from there format it
[22:34] <bean1020> zenman11_,  right click and it should have an option to format
[22:34] <zenman11_> bean1020: can't though, everything just fails
[22:34] <ObrienDave> zenman11_, how are you trying to read the drive currently? what size drive?
[22:34] <zenman11_> ObrienDave: I have a USB>SATA connector, powered by wall power. It's a 128gb SSD, toshiba
[22:35] <ObrienDave> k
[22:35] <bean1020> zenman11_, it might be fried
[22:35] <miso> hi , is there easy way to full table ps_stock_availability ? i  have it empty and stock managment is not working beecouse its empty :)
[22:36] <bean1020> squinty, is there a way to make it so I don't have to see everyone who logs in and out?
[22:36] <zenman11_> bean1020: the only evidence i have to the contrary, is that i * was * able to boot the old server up with the drive in it. that was until i attempted to remove cryptswap and probably borked the drive
[22:36] <ObrienDave> bean1020, right click channel, hide join/part
[22:36] <ObrienDave> in settings
[22:39] <zenman11_> bean1020: tried killdisk - couldn't do it either. i'm almost convinced now that this drive is still encrypted. i'm guessing my best play is the Live USB route then
[22:39] <zenman11_> when I do get that going, squinty, ObrienDave, how can I erase/decrypt if it ever becomes visible again?
[22:40] <zenman11_> these were the commands i ran previously: http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/29155
[22:40] <ObrienDave> zenman11_, kill the partition, make new one
[22:40] <bean1020> ObrienDave, I am using xchat, and i don't see it in the settings
[22:40] <bean1020> zenman11_, agreed, kill the partition
[22:40] <ObrienDave> bean1020, right click channel, settings, hide
[22:40] <ObrienDave> bean1020, do yourself a favor, install HexChat
[22:41] <bean1020> ObrienDave, much better?
[22:41] <ObrienDave> try it :))
[22:41] <bean1020> ObrienDave, and that fixed my problem
[22:43] <bean1020> ObrienDave, Just got it
[22:44] <bean1020> ObrienDave, It is fantastic in comparison
[22:44] <ObrienDave> knew you would like it
[22:45] <bean1020> ObrienDave, much more visually pleasing for chat

[23:00] <zenman11_> interestingly when it booted this time it didn't report the encrypted swap being mounted, it mounted the new swap i made up in /dev/sda5
[23:01] <zenman11_> anyone have experience decrypting ubuntu server drives?

[23:30] <Avenger_> Bashing-om : do i type that in terminal?
[23:31] <zenman11_> anyone know why i can't wipe this drive that had ubuntu server 12.04 lts installed on it?
[23:31] <Bashing-om> Avenger_: no will have to activate a text editor with the privileges to edit a system file.
[23:32] <Avenger_> Bashing-om : i am too new to try this. that sounds too scarry and my dad said not to listen.
[23:32] <Avenger_> thank you very much for the responce though friend.
[23:34] <_temp_> hi, i'm trying to follow steps from a bug report, but I don't know how to do the following steps
[23:34] <_temp_> 4. loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm
[23:34] <_temp_> 5. linux-firmware 1.127.7
[23:34] <_temp_> how do I get a specific version of firmware and how do I check if ti's loaded
[23:34] <celroc> Avenger_: Typing "gksu gedit /etc/hostname" in a terminal without the quotes and pressing enter, then inputting your password at the prompt and pressing enter again should open it in a GUI editor with proper privileges
[23:34] <_temp_> (and finally what does op_mode iwlmvm" mean
[23:35] <Avenger_> celroc : i will try that.
[23:35] <Avenger_> celroc : i think you are a nice man. thank you very much for being friendly.
[23:36] <celroc> Avenger_: Thanks, I give credit to Bashing-om for listing where the files were located, too.  I sort of springboarded off of his response, so to speak
[23:36] <zykotick9> !hostname | Avenger_
[23:36] <zykotick9> Avenger_: careful, i think celroc's suggestion, by itself, will break sudo on your system!
[23:37] <celroc> zykotick9: It will?  I'm sorry, I didn't hear about that
[23:37] <Avenger_> celroc : (gedit:3800): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

[23:38] <celroc> Avenger_: Um, I might have messed up, apparently.  I was not aware of the issue zykotick9 brought up.
[23:38] <Avenger_> zykotick9 : i have done something terriable!
[23:39] <zykotick9> Avenger_: i dount it's "terrible" but, i don't know the fix, good luck.

[23:40] <Avenger_> sudo apt-get will not work anymore?
[23:40] <zykotick9> Avenger_: try "sudo ls" ans see if that works...

[23:41] <celroc> Avenger_: It looks like sudo is still working
[23:42] <Avenger_> celroc what is sudo?
[23:42] <ObrienDave> Avenger_, Super User DO
[23:42] <celroc> Avenger_: It is a tool commonly used in the linux command-line to run things as the root ("super") user
[23:43] <Avenger_> i wanted to change my host name to TobascoSauce
[23:43] <celroc> ObrienDave: I may be wrong, but I believe it is actually "Switch User Do" as you can actually use sudo to run commands in accounts other than the root, too.  Root is just the default :-)
[23:43] <zykotick9> ObrienDave: actually "switch user" i believe...
[23:45] <kaddi> bleh
[23:45] <kaddi> tgm4883: did everything that's in that list.. still having problems
[23:46] <celroc> Avenger_: If you open a new terminal, does it list the hostname you typed in that file earlier?
[23:46] <Bashing-om> Avenger_: MY file -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8607982/ , see where " 1404mini", change in your file to " TobascoSauce " -> gksudo gedit /etc/host <- ; next is to change "/etc/hostname" .
[23:48] <Avenger_> Bashing-om : what file do i open on my computer sir?
[23:49] <celroc> Avenger_: Try "gksu gedit /etc/hosts" to get the file he lists
[23:50] <Bashing-om> Avenger_: In terminal do:  -> gksudo gedit /etc/host <- opens the file for editing, make the edit and save the file.
[23:51] <Avenger_> okay i pressed save
[23:51] <Avenger_> now exit the editor?
[23:51] <bella> when updating ubuntu, the computer froze and now the computer is extremely slow and the font on the desktop changes and then changes back to the original font, its weird. also my external usb drives dont work so i cant backup files. please help
[23:52] <Avenger> bashing-om : my host name did not change
[23:53] <Bashing-om> Avenger: Well, did you 'save' the file after making the edit ( changing whatever was in that field to TobascoSauce ) ?  - easy does it !
[23:53] <squid22> hello
[23:54] <zenman11_> can anyone help me get ubuntu off a hard drive so i can install windows on it?
[23:54] <Avenger> Bashing-om yes sir i changed it to tobascosauce and clicked save. terminal still says a big host name from before
[23:54] <squid22> @zenman11: all you have to do is format the hard drive
[23:54] <Avenger> i like tobascosauce and i hope i can name my computer it.
[23:54] <celroc> Avenger: You may need to open a new terminal to see the change in hostname
[23:55] <Avenger> celroc : i did that too my friendship and it still says brandon-HP-Pavilion-TS-Sleekbook-14:~$
[23:55] <Avenger> my name is brandon
[23:55] <Bashing-om> Avenger: I said above, we must edit 2 files .. right ? .. so next is -> gksudo gedit /etc/hostname <- .. where the old name was, change to "TobascoSauce", save the file and exit. Log off and back on to see the change.
[23:56] <OerHeks> you need to logout/login to let it take effect
[23:56] <Avenger> okay friends i will try.
[23:57] <bella> when updating ubuntu, the computer froze and now the computer is extremely slow and the font on the desktop changes and then changes back to the original font, its weird. also my external usb drives dont work so i cant backup files. please help
[23:58] <celroc> bella: Sorry, I don't know a direct fix.  If you can open a terminal, try "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" to run the updater, maybe it will help fix whatever broke
[23:59] <squid22> bella: you can also try "sudo apt-get -f install"
