[02:30] <studio_> hey guys, is there a disk utility for studio?  something that checks hd health?
[02:38] <delt> what's a good skype client for linux?
[02:39] <Unit193> Skype.
[02:39] <delt> hehe (:
[02:39] <Unit193> The only Skype client is Skype....
[02:39] <delt> but i can't install it... it says my internet connection is down, but clearly not the case :/
[02:39] <Unit193> !info skype-bin partner
[02:40] <delt> component main...?
[02:40] <studio_> anyone know from experience the life expectancy of a hard drive?
[02:40] <Unit193> You'll have to add the partner repo if you don't have it already, delt.
[02:41] <Unit193> studio_: Really depends, keep backups though.  You can generally get advanced warning with SMART tools, but not a money back thing.
[02:41] <delt> Unit193: ah, i see ....any other good stuff on that repo?
[02:41] <studio_> ok. thanks
[02:41] <Unit193> delt: Heh, not really. :P
[02:42] <Unit193> !partner
[02:42] <Unit193> studio_: Sure.
[02:45] <delt> i'm running 64bit.. how come it says all new packages installed will be :i386?
[02:45] <delt> (from running apt-get install skype)
[02:45] <Unit193> Skype is only built for 32bit, but lucky for you there's multiarch.
[02:46] <delt> :) thanks for the info
[17:27] <lexito> hello. I made a live version of the ubuntu studio but it fails to run. After i choose to run in live mode, it loads the splash screen and then everything ggoes black
[17:27] <lexito> any help ?please
[17:28] <holstein> lexito: i would try a few things..
[17:28] <holstein> !nomodeset
[17:28] <holstein> !md5
[17:30] <lexito> holstein: By nomodset do you mean i should clickk that button? Well i did. And even i clicked the acpi thingy....i don't under stand any of those.nothing worked
[17:31] <holstein> lexito: i try all the options.. the only thing to understand is that they can help..
[17:31] <holstein> lexito: confirm your iso download and your live media as well
[17:31] <lexito> holstein: okay I am checking the link
[17:35] <lexito> holstein: the version in the link is for version 11.10 but mine is 14.04
[17:35] <holstein> lexito: sure..
[17:35] <holstein> lexito: you can check your iso the same way
[17:36] <holstein> you can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck
[17:37] <lexito> holstein: so the numbers differ
[17:37] <holstein> lexito: sure..
[17:38] <holstein> lexito: you use the location of the iso you downloaded for the sum
[17:38] <holstein> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/14.04/release/ for example
[17:38] <holstein> or just use the integrity checker i linked above
[17:38] <holstein> lexito: this is *not* a fix for anything.. so dont waste too much time on it
[17:39] <lexito> holstein: 6842dfc487beb8cbd4787577ad7b7178
[17:39] <holstein> lexito: i say, just download main ubuntu, and try that, and if you get the same issue, you can go to the more populous #ubuntu and get assistance for your specific hardware
[17:39] <holstein> lexito: i dont konw if that is the sum for the iso you downloaded..
[17:40] <lexito> holstein: that is the number that came up
[17:40] <lexito> holstein: but i don't want the main ubuntu. I want the ubuntu studio
[17:41] <holstein> lexito: i dont see that sum here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/14.04/release/MD5SUMS
[17:41] <holstein> lexito: i understand that, friend.. but, ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu
[17:41] <holstein> lexito: anything that can help your specific hardware case run ubuntu will be relevant in running ubuntustuduio
[17:41] <holstein> lexito: but, it seems you are not getting the proper sum
[17:42] <lexito> holstein: you don't understand. I used about a month to download ubuntu studio .I have very slow internet
[17:42] <holstein> lexito: then, i would gurantee that is the issue, then
[17:42] <holstein> lexito: if you have spotty internet, its seems that is the issue
[17:44] <holstein> not sure how i would proceed.. i might start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[17:44] <holstein> those iso's are small.. then, i could get my installation done and know the hardware is working and go from there
[17:44] <lexito> holstein: but could it go up to the point of allowing me to select the type of boot? It even showed me the animated splash screen. Is all this possible
[17:45] <holstein> lexito: yes.. thats why i had you check the sum, and you are reporting the sum is not "correct"..
[17:45] <holstein> lexito: wont hurt to run that integrity check
[17:47] <lexito> holstein: i will run the integrity check then and get back here
[17:59] <lexito> holstein: but i think i will have to download with a faster connection again
[18:00] <holstein> lexito: or, you can search about how to fix them..
[18:00] <holstein> lexito: you can try main #ubuntu
[18:01] <lexito> holstein: SINCE i can't see the sum there i think the integrity is wrong
[18:01] <holstein> lexito: i agree
[18:02] <holstein> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/10/29/use-zsync-to-update-existing-iso-images/ may suggest using zsync to "repair"
[18:02] <holstein> i have not done this myself, and cannot say
[18:03] <holstein> you may be able to do with automatically with a torrent setup
[18:05] <lexito> holstein: what do you mean by the torrent setup?
[18:05] <lexito> where can i get that
[18:05] <holstein> lexito: i dont know what operating system you are using..
[18:06] <holstein> .torrent
[18:06] <holstein> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads for example
[18:06] <holstein> lexito: im saying, setting up a torrent download, and putting your current iso in place *may* just sync the difference for you automatically.. im not sure
[18:07] <holstein> lexito: im just trying to postulate the path of least resistance for you..
[18:11] <lexito> holstein: i am on mint 17
[18:11] <holstein> lexito: then, the references to the torrent applications will be relevant
[18:11] <lexito> holstein: I am using transmission
[18:12] <holstein> lexito: also, the ubuntustudio applications are in the default ubuntu repos. thus, you can just install them in to mint17..
[18:12] <holstein> lexito: yes.. transmission is what i was implying.. that *maybe* transmission would repair the iso for you
[18:12] <lexito> holstein: Is that possible? I thought it would mess up my system. I tried with simple unity and my whole system was messed up
[18:13] <holstein> lexito: if you just install the applications you want..
[18:13] <lexito> holstein: so you mean I should download with transmission
[18:13] <holstein> lexito: i wouldnt install the ubuntu-studio-desktop
[18:13] <holstein> i would just install what i want.. jack, ardour.. qtractor.. whatever
[18:14] <lexito> holstein: Yh I did that. But I felt there should be a different feel with the real thing :)
[18:14] <holstein> lexito: i mean, *maybe* if you load up the torrent file in transmission, and put the iso you have in place at the download location, then *maybe* transmission will zsync the changes and "Fix" the iso
[18:15] <holstein> lexito: there *is* a different feel.. but, its the *same* applications.. and, if i were on limited bandwidth, this would be on the table..
[18:16] <lexito> holstein: I am still not getting the torrent idea. but I think you mean i need not download a new iso file right?
[18:16] <holstein> lexito: thats what im implying that you should try.. i linked zsync as a potential way to fix the iso, that i have not personally tried. you can ask about fixing the iso first hand in #ubuntu as i suggested
[18:17] <holstein> i then suggested that *maybe* transmission would just magically do that for you..
[18:17] <holstein> thus, *not* needing to download a new iso
[18:17] <lexito> holstein: oh ok. But how can i do that with transmission. Sorry for the nooby questions
[18:17] <holstein> *and*, adding just what you are interested in using into mint17, thus also, *not* needing to download a new iso
[18:17] <holstein> lexito: i would literally get the torrent file for the iso i have.. load up transmission.. and put the iso i have in the download location
[18:18] <holstein> then, i would start the torrent, and see if transmission check the sum and tries to "fix" it..
[18:18] <lexito> holstein: oh i get it now. Same location right?
[18:18] <holstein> if not, i would read about ways to fix the iso i have downloaded.. if i found no help online,  would ask in #ubuntu
[18:19] <holstein> lexito: i would expect, transmission will try and download.. it will look at the location and see the iso.. and, am postulating, it would run a sum, and check the difference. and hopefully try and repait if
[18:19] <holstein> repair*
[18:19] <holstein> the location would have to be the same,yes, for any of that to potentially work
[18:20] <holstein> i personally *have* put iso's in that i have previously downloaded in order to seed them.. but i have not needed to try and repair an iso personally
[18:20] <lexito> holstein: ok. Thanks I will read more about it.
[18:55] <studio-user188> hey !
[20:55] <nightheron> I can't sudo apt-get update my ubuntu studio :(
[20:56] <holstein> nightheron: you can.. try it, and paste any errors..
[20:56] <holstein> !paste
[20:56] <holstein> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[20:56] <nightheron> ok, let me try again...
[20:57] <nightheron> A typical 404 not found...
[20:58] <holstein> nightheron: please open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and paste the entire output here..
[20:58] <holstein> !paste
[20:58] <holstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:58] <nightheron> Err...it stuck
[20:59] <holstein> nightheron: control c will "break" that..
[20:59] <nightheron> By the way, I set default language as spanish, will it bring any trouble?
[20:59] <holstein> nightheron: no
[21:00] <holstein> nightheron: please open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and share the entire output here.. http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:00] <nightheron> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606441/
[21:00] <nightheron> Like this?
[21:02] <holstein> nightheron: looks like you have messed up your sources
[21:02] <holstein> i would use http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ to repair that..
[21:02] <nightheron> Hmm...I can't remenber how many software I tried...
[21:03] <holstein> nightheron: you broke your sources
[21:04] <holstein> nightheron: when you run "sudo apt-get update" you have sources in place that are broken
[21:04] <holstein> nightheron: i dont konw why or how they are broken, but they are
[21:04] <nightheron> Yeah, I asked for it, thx for the link, I may try.
[21:04] <holstein> nightheron: you get 404's becuase they are broken
[21:04] <holstein> nightheron: ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu. so you can as about how to repair that in #ubuntu if you like
[21:05] <nightheron> Even if it's XFCE environment?
[21:05] <holstein> nightheron: friend.. xfce is just that
[21:05] <holstein> nightheron: ubuntu is the base.. they are *all* ubuntu.. same repos
[21:05] <holstein> nightheron: you have broken repo sources..
[21:06] <nightheron> I feel so noob and helpless here. :p
[21:06] <holstein> nightheron: you will replace them with the stock ubuntu ones
[21:06] <holstein> nightheron: you should come here *before* doing whatever it was you did to break your sources
[21:06] <holstein> nightheron: prettu much, anytime you run a sudo command, you can be breaking things. feel free and ask *before* doing that.. it'll make it much easier to help
[21:10] <nightheron> And what does GPG keys do?
[21:10] <holstein> nightheron: the sources are *very* important
[21:11] <holstein> nightheron: when you install ubuntu, you run "sudo apt-get update" the repo sources are accessed.. the keys insure that things are "signed" and are what they say they are
[21:11] <holstein> its a security attempt
[21:16] <nightheron> Ok...it said "Replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with the following one"
[21:17] <holstein> nightheron: right.. thats what i said, as well
[21:17] <nightheron> And I am suck at doing it in terminal
[21:17] <holstein> nightheron: you broke  your sources.. fix them with that ^
[21:17] <holstein> nightheron: then, dont use the terminal
[21:19] <nightheron> I mean, it don't authorize me editing the source.list
[21:20] <holstein> nightheron: sure.. you need root permission
[21:20] <holstein> nightheron: gksudo gedit /path/to/file
[21:20] <holstein> nightheron: or, you can use a live CD to "fix" them
[21:20] <nightheron> Ok, will try...
[21:23] <nightheron> Iput the liveCD, opened "sotware & update"...
[21:24] <holstein> nightheron: why?
[21:24] <nightheron> Where to reset my source list with my liveCD?
[21:24] <holstein> nightheron: what you need to open is the file you broke, and fix it with the information the link i gave you exported
[21:24] <nightheron> Or is that I should reboot with it?
[21:25] <holstein> nightheron: using the live CD is just a way to deal with the permissions issue you are having
[21:25] <nightheron> Ah...I am a dumb ass...
[21:26] <holstein> anyways.. i gotta run. you can use #ubuntu or #xubuntu may also be able to assist
[21:26] <holstein> cheers and good luck
[21:28] <zequence> gksudo might not work anymore
[21:28] <zequence> sudo should do it though
[21:40] <nightheron> I can update now, finally! thx you all! :D
