| EriC^^ | hardtail: what's the error msg? | 00:05 |
| fizbin | Huh. So, that mirror list claims that us.archive.ubuntu.com is a US mirror, and up to date. Deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/*Rel* and retrying worked. | 00:06 |
| fizbin | So I guess I just needed a newer Release file. Don't know why apt didn't go get it. | 00:06 |

| linelevel | Hi guys, it took me a while, but I was finally able to boot from a LiveCD and run `smartctl -a` on my hard drive. Here is the output. Can anyone help me to interpret it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8695707/ | 00:10 |
| linelevel | daftykins: ^ | 00:10 |
| daftykins | linelevel: sure reading now | 00:11 |
| linelevel | It says it passed, but running `sudo badblocks -sh` on my primary partition had previously reported errors. | 00:11 |
| linelevel | ^ -sv not -sh | 00:11 |
| daftykins | linelevel: yep reallocated sectors, that disk is toast | 00:11 |
| hardtail | EriC^^: I am trying to install ubuntu on my hybrid laptop/tablet and when I enter "install ubuntu" the screen goes black but still illuminated and nothing is there | 00:12 |
| daftykins | linelevel: it still has 27 pending sectors too, so it's getting worse. if you want any data off that thing you need to copy it off now | 00:12 |
| hardtail | daftykins is the pro there | 00:12 |
| linelevel | daftykins: I've been making nightly backups, but I only keep them for a week, so that's probably after this problem started... | 00:12 |
| daftykins | linelevel: well, if the data is good you'll be fine. you need to replace this disk though | 00:13 |
| linelevel | daftykins: I just ordered an SSD from Amazon to replace this drive, but I'll need to keep using it until it arrives. (it's my primary work computer.) Any thing you would recommend to minimize my chance of data loss until then? | 00:13 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: odd | 00:13 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: that's not a grub problem btw | 00:14 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: vga or something i guess | 00:14 |
| daftykins | linelevel: you would be better off creating a persistent liveUSB session and just accessing the HDD piecemeal, i wouldn't even attempt to boot from it as it'll work it too hard and likely kill it | 00:14 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: try to press alt+ctrl+f1 | 00:15 |
| hyuukai | Could anyone help me, i am new at ubuntu and my firefox says i need to install flash player, i downloaded a tar.gz file now what? | 00:15 |
| daftykins | linelevel: you can keep running smartctl to see if the values increment, you'll want to watch ID numbers 5, 196 and 197 | 00:15 |
| linelevel | daftykins: Sigh, well okay, thanks. One more question: Is there anything I can run on my backup (which is just a copy of my home directory using `rsync -a`) to see which, if any, of the data is corrupted? | 00:16 |
| EriC^^ | hyuukai: install flash from the repositories, sudo apt-get install flashplayer-installer | 00:16 |
| EriC^^ | hold on | 00:16 |
| EriC^^ | !find flash | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Found: flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, pepperflashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-downloader, flashbake, flashbench, flashcache-dkms, flashcache-utils, flashrom, flashybrid (and 10 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=flash&searchon=names&suite=utopic§ion=all | 00:16 |
| hardtail | eric^^: nothing happens when I press those buttons | 00:16 |
| daftykins | linelevel: no idea i'm afraid, you can only do comparisons to existing data which could already be corrupted depending on where these bad sectors are | 00:16 |
| EriC^^ | hyuukai: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 00:16 |
| hyuukai | EriC^^, thanks bud | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | hyuukai: i think you have to have the multiverse repository enabled | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 00:17 |
| hyuukai | how do i enable that? | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | hyuukai: open the dash and type software | 00:17 |
| hyuukai | yep | 00:18 |
| linelevel | daftykins: So there are 82 reallocated sectors (from #5)... where can I see how many that's out of so I know what % of the drive is corrupt? | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | hyuukai: click on software & updates and select the multiverse repository | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: maybe try to boot the live usb with nomodeset | 00:18 |
| hyuukai | EriC^^, cant see an option for that | 00:19 |
| hyuukai | EriC^^, wait found it! | 00:19 |
| daftykins | linelevel: each sector is 512 bytes | 00:19 |
| linelevel | daftykins: Thanks. | 00:20 |
| linelevel | so unlikely to have hit much of my important data | 00:20 |
| tafa2 | hi guys does anyone know how I can prevent the display from going to sleep from the command line? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | linelevel: the problem is that yours are cascading, so it's possible that your drive has one head scraping the platter surface or some other failure that'll spread | 00:20 |
| hardtail | eric^^ how do i do that? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | linelevel: if you are confident in your backups, i would zero the entire disk which would force the drive to discover all bad sectors and remap them | 00:21 |
| EriC^^ | tafa2: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false | 00:21 |
| EriC^^ | ( i think ) | 00:21 |
| linelevel | daftykins: Undersood, but doesn't it mean that in my last backup from last night, there are at most 512B * 82 = 41 KB of bad data? | 00:22 |
| tafa2 | EriC^^ cool! I think I should have specified that im using xubuntu? | 00:22 |
| compdoc | linelevel, the drive is beginning to fail. you should replace it | 00:22 |
| linelevel | compdoc: No question there. Replacement already ordered. That doesn't answer my last question, though. | 00:23 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: hold shift while the live usb boots, and press e over the default entry that boots, and add nomodeset to the line that starts with Linux vmlinuz .... and press ctrl+x to execute it | 00:23 |
| compdoc | whats the question? | 00:23 |
| EriC^^ | tafa2: not sure if it matters | 00:23 |
| daftykins | linelevel: well you know how your system is locking down the disk after some points of usage? that's it reading or writing or modifying a file on disk that's in another bad spot, so at present it's maybe not discovered them all. you might get lucky and them be in blank space though | 00:23 |
| m4t | anyone got libvirt-bin to start via systemd? | 00:23 |
| EriC^^ | tafa2: try gsettings list-recursively | grep idle | 00:23 |
| tafa2 | will do thanks | 00:23 |

| EriC^^ | tafa2: see if you get that option | 00:23 |
| linelevel | daftykins: Okay, makes sense. So what utility would you use to zero the disk? wipe? srm? | 00:23 |
| aceanimations | those are my specs can i use ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| compdoc | zeroing the disk is a bad idea. its not going to help anything | 00:24 |
| EriC^^ | tafa2: no problem | 00:24 |
| linelevel | compdoc: daftykins' idea was to zero it to force it to discover all currently bad sectors. | 00:24 |
| daftykins | linelevel: i'd dd zero fill the disk | 00:25 |
| hardtail | eric^^ do I add nomodeset after the -- ? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | compdoc: it'll detect any further bad sectors and cause the remaps to complete. nothing wrong with that. | 00:25 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: what's it say before -- ? | 00:25 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: i've never tried this before | 00:26 |
| * aceanimations ** SysInfo ** Client: HexChat 2.10.1 (x64) ** OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 ** CPU: AMD A8-5545M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (1.00 GHz) ** RAM: 7364 MB Total (4660 MB Free) ** VGA: AMD Radeon(TM) HD 8510G ** Uptime: 2.01 Hours ** | 00:26 | |
| aceanimations | those are my specs can i use ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| linelevel | daftykins: And after doing that, if I run smartctl, it will tell me the total # of bad sectors that existed at the time of the `dd`, right? | 00:26 |
| linelevel | Just checking my understanding. | 00:26 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: yeah, i was under the impression it worked that way as well? at least with modern hard drives, if it detects bad sectors during a complete reformat it'll tend to remap them to locations where they (hopefully) won't corrupt anything | 00:26 |
| hardtail | eric^^ it says linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/pressed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- | 00:26 |
| daftykins | linelevel: #5 will increment to include the values from '197 | 00:26 |
| daftykins | * #197 | 00:26 |
| EriC^^ | ok add nomodeset after splash | 00:26 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: yep | 00:27 |
| linelevel | daftykins: and possibly more that it hasn't yet discovered, right? | 00:27 |
| daftykins | linelevel: yep, keep this pastebin link bookmarked and compare before and after, etc | 00:27 |
| compdoc | files are damaged, and if its a system disk its just a matter of time before a critical system files are damaged and it wont boot anymore. what happens is, the bad sectors will continue to grow. damaging more and more files as it goes. | 00:28 |
| daftykins | linelevel: your disk isn't very large so it won't take too long "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of =/dev/sda bs=2M" | 00:28 |
| aceanimations | WILL SOMEONE ANSWER ME | 00:28 |
| daftykins | compdoc: yes i have said this, but the user wants to use it in the meantime. my advice is to find out how bad the damage is. | 00:28 |
| daftykins | aceanimations: not with that attitude no | 00:28 |
| linelevel | daftykins: So let's say I run `dd` on it every day for a month, testing it with smartctl after each re-zeroing, and after the first `dd`, the # of bad sectors never increases... would it then be relatively safe to start using that disk again? | 00:28 |
| aceanimations | daftykins, im sorry | 00:28 |
| aceanimations | can you please answer me? | 00:28 |
| daftykins | linelevel: i would never use a disk again after even a handful of bad sectors, i'd throw that thing in electronics recycling :) | 00:29 |
| daftykins | life is too short to use unreliable storage | 00:29 |
| compdoc | deleting the partition and restoring your files only makes sure you damage even more files. just leave it alone | 00:29 |
| compdoc | its a bad idea | 00:29 |
| daftykins | the user has backups, your comments are unfounded | 00:29 |
| hardtail | eric^^ when i try control + x it just adds x to the ediot | 00:29 |
| arthurfiggis | aceanimations: the specs that you're listing are certainly enough to run Ubuntu...the question mark would be the AMD Radeon GPU. This is just my experience, others might disagree, but...I've found that for 3d acceleration at least, there aren't really any very good drivers for AMD cards, not even the official ones. If you're only doing regular desktop stuff, browsing around on the internet,... | 00:30 |
| CRCinAU | so I'm still trying to get Ubuntu to install on Xen.... I posted this: http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/problems-installing-ubuntu-on-xen-kernel-problems/1952 | 00:30 |
| arthurfiggis | ...Radeon will probably be fine...if you want 3d acceleration you'll want to install the official drivers, and hopefully your card is better supported than the one I sold recently :( | 00:30 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: try f10 | 00:30 |
| CRCinAU | any ideas at all on where I can chase this up? | 00:30 |
| aceanimations | pl arthurfiggis | 00:30 |
| hardtail | eric^^ screen is wiped again | 00:30 |
| hardtail | eric^^ i lied...it hanged for a bit now the ubuntu logo is there with the preloader...not sure if its gonna work | 00:31 |
| aceanimations | thx arthurfiggis | 00:32 |
| charlie_ | hello everyone | 00:32 |
| arthurfiggis | aceanimations: no problem :) and like i said the radeon problem seemed to be a problem whenever i tried a radeon card...that was a long time ago, the official drivers are likely a lot better now so i'd not be discouraged and give it a try! there are open and closed source drivers for amd cards and depending on what you have it seems like one works better than the other...so i'd try both and... | 00:33 |
| arthurfiggis | ...whatever works (and doesn't crash), stick with that :) | 00:33 |
| charlie_ | I am running lubuntu 12.04 lts and I have an IOGear bluetooth dongle, I cannot get it to come up under blueman | 00:33 |
| linelevel | daftykins: compdoc: Yeah, I'll never trust it again. I was just asking to check my understanding. If the # of bad sectors stop increasing despite repeated zero-ing, that indicates that the problem probably isn't spreading quickly at least, I would think. | 00:33 |
| charlie_ | it is not recognizing it | 00:33 |
| CRCinAU | bueller? | 00:34 |
| Greylocks | aceanimations: reading this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/installation-guide/en.armhf/ch02.html | 00:34 |
| aceanimations | pl | 00:34 |
| aceanimations | ok | 00:34 |
| daftykins | linelevel: yeah, maybe zero it twice and see if the numbers jump | 00:34 |
| arthurfiggis | linelevel: mmm...depends on what the problem with the drive is really, though that's not a very good answer, sorry. :) i do know that if you start zeroing/formatting the disks and the number of bad sectors _increase_...then it's going to get worse, probably quickly | 00:34 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: sorry got distracted by pain in my mouth (hate this kind of pain) you make any progress on that? | 00:35 |
| aceanimations | guys how come in ubuntu my gpu might suffer? | 00:35 |
| arthurfiggis | linelevel: so i'd keep an eye on that...though as you already have a new drive coming and backups, sounds like you're going to be just fine :) | 00:35 |
| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, not really. | 00:35 |
| === Owner is now known as Guest26095 | ||
| wafflej0ck | aceanimations: suffer how also have you installed or checked for additional drivers | 00:35 |
| linelevel | arthurfiggis: Yeah, thanks. | 00:35 |
| aceanimations | im on windows atm | 00:35 |
| linelevel | As far as bad disks go, would you say I caught this problem pretty early? | 00:35 |
| daftykins | aceanimations: AMD graphics support is notorious for being rubbish in Linux | 00:36 |
| arthurfiggis | aceanimations: it might not at all, as i say it's just been my experience that ATI/AMD cards aren't very well supported in Linux in general...you might try the same drivers on different hardware and have no problems at all, the only way to know for sure would be to try it, switch drivers to see which ones work the best :) | 00:36 |
| linelevel | 82 bad sectors doesn't sound like much, but maybe it was alrady 10 a year ago, for all I know. | 00:36 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: okay so if you don't set any manual settings in the ethernet on the client and it does connect to the internet could you show those settings too for the IP status | 00:36 |
| aceanimations | ok arthurfiggis and daftykins thx for the help | 00:36 |
| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, via ipconfig? | 00:37 |
| daftykins | np | 00:37 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: yup that works | 00:37 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: just want to see what does work vs what isn't working and see if we can incrementally change things to see what difference in the manual config breaks it exactly | 00:37 |
| charlie_ | when I do lsusb for the bluetooth dongle I get this | 00:37 |
| charlie_ | Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) | 00:37 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: that's pretty much what i wanted to say but i didn't want to come off as insulting to anyone with an AMD card :P but yeah, overall support for AMD GPU's in Linux is a shambles...if i can at all, i tend to buy computers with either an nvidia card or an intel gpu, since their open source drivers seem to actually work | 00:37 |
| charlie_ | but it wont come up under blueman | 00:37 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: ok | 00:38 |
| acerspyro | > You have to download a total of 1,031 M. This download will take about 8 minutes with your connection. | 00:38 |

| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, i have to go somewhere, ill be about maybe 10 min. | 00:38 |
| aceanimations | ok arthurfiggis | 00:38 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: k cool | 00:38 |
| acerspyro | daftykins: No problem so far here, using proprietary AMD drivers on a Radeon Mobility HD 5470 | 00:38 |
| CRCinAU | ok - so - seeing as I can't find anyone who has done a net install of Ubuntu on Xen, where do I go to file bug reports? | 00:39 |
| charlie_ | and help? | 00:39 |
| charlie_ | someone | 00:39 |
| daftykins | acerspyro: anecdotal evidence doesn't cover an entire industry | 00:39 |
| acerspyro | daftykins: I know that | 00:39 |
| acerspyro | Just sayin' | 00:39 |
| daftykins | no point saying then if you know that my friend :) | 00:39 |
| acerspyro | I do hope that ATI will one day fix their drivers. It's prolly going to be faster here too | 00:39 |
| acerspyro | I never saw Windows on this comp | 00:40 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: really need to narrow down where the problem lies to know who to report the bug to and what info you should include | 00:40 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/problems-installing-ubuntu-on-xen-kernel-problems/1952 | 00:40 |
| CRCinAU | I started with that - but as a non-ubuntu user, I couldn't find a traditional bug reporting area on the web site :\ | 00:41 |
| spirit88 | hello all | 00:42 |
| spirit88 | have a quick question | 00:42 |
| hardtail | eric^^: seems to be hanging at the installation wizard.not sure if this is normal or now | 00:42 |
| daftykins | ask away | 00:42 |
| spirit88 | had an update go bad, reinstalled on a different partition (smaller) | 00:43 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: pretty sure ubuntu itself uses launchpad for the bugs but would be curious if you can reproduce the problem with another distro to see if it's a problem with the Xen configuration or execution or the ubuntu image you're using or what? | 00:43 |
| aceanimations | spirit88, ok ok? | 00:43 |
| spirit88 | is there a way i could CPIO the required files over to the old broken partion and have any hope of it working? | 00:43 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: same config (obviously using different vmlinuz / initrd images) works for RHEL6 & debian | 00:43 |
| br1ckd | I'm running Ubuntu Server 14.04 (w/ stock kernel) and trying to set up cgroups but the memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes file isn't in the cgroup VFS. I'm following the official kernel documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt Anyone know why it's not working? | 00:43 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: like before you mean? if not which part of the installation wizard? | 00:44 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: okay cool think you would want to find the right section in here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu | 00:44 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: sorry can't be of any help on the Xen part though as I have 0 experience with it | 00:44 |
| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, paste.ubuntu.com/8696085 | 00:45 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: thats cool - I've never used ubuntu before - and all I can say is that the site etc seems very....... marketting orientated - and a SOL if you have a problem ;) | 00:46 |
| EriC^^ | spirit88: what went bad with the upgrade? | 00:46 |
| CRCinAU | awww man - I have to create an Ubuntu One account to report a bug? L\ | 00:46 |
| spirit88 | I think one of the gnu C libraries crapped out mid install | 00:46 |
| hardtail | eric^^ - the part where is says ubuntu has 6.5 gb of space. now it says. "the installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/mmcblk0" do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? if you leave them mounted you will not be able to create, delete or resize partitions on these disks but you may be able to install to existing partitions there. | 00:47 |
| daftykins | Ubuntu One is dead, maybe a single sign on account | 00:47 |
| daftykins | idk | 00:47 |
| hardtail | so since i want to wipe everything and install ubuntu i should unmount it then? | 00:47 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: yeah, you can unmount that i guess | 00:47 |
| spirit88 | ERIC^^: It was frozen for what appeared to be days | 00:47 |
| hardtail | eric^^ ok thank you we will see what it does. very slow | 00:48 |
| EriC^^ | spirit88: why don't you back everything up, and reinstall? | 00:48 |
| arthurfiggis | spirit88: i don't think i've ever had an upgrade from one linux distribution to another go completely smoothly...then again i can say the same thing for windows :) that being said, i would probably check to make sure there isn't some hardware problem first...you wouldn't want to waste a load of time trying to copy files from one installation to another only to find out it's a bad hard drive... | 00:50 |
| arthurfiggis | ...and that won't fix it, you know | 00:50 |
| spirit88 | Eric^^: that would be the right way to do it I suppose, but it is the kids pc, I am not sure what they have installed where | 00:50 |
| CRCinAU | wtf | 00:50 |
| CRCinAU | the Report a bug link goes to the wiki on bug reporting etiquette..... | 00:51 |
| spirit88 | arthurfiggis: don't think it is hardware, I am on the machine now, but on an alternate boot method | 00:51 |
| EriC^^ | spirit88: you could get a list of the installed packages, and copy the /home directory, then reinstall the packages and copy the /home back | 00:51 |
| EriC^^ | spirit88: ask them if they have any files somewhere else before i guess | 00:51 |
| spirit88 | I am most concerned on gettingt heir games and stuff over, and saved games, and god know where all theat crap is | 00:51 |
| hardtail | eric^^ i am wiping the 32 gbs on the tablet and its going to attempt install. ... crosses fingers | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | hardtail: ok | 00:52 |
| spirit88 | Eric^^ LOL they are 9 and 7... I can ask, the answer woudl be humorous i am sure :) | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | hehe | 00:52 |
| CRCinAU | ok - so if the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+filebug (Report a bug) link goes to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 00:53 |
| CRCinAU | how the smeg do you actually lodge a bug report? | 00:53 |
| spirit88 | well I think I am going to copy over /usr to the old partition and see what happens | 00:53 |
| spirit88 | we will see what happens | 00:53 |
| spirit88 | ton of sym links make be an issue | 00:54 |
| EriC^^ | maybe if you try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it might help? | 00:54 |
| spirit88 | thanks for the cycles folks !! (Feels Eric Reinstall coming my way) | 00:54 |
| EriC^^ | if you do decide to reinstall | 00:55 |
| EriC^^ | use this command | 00:55 |
| EriC^^ | comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u) | 00:55 |
| spirit88 | give me a manafest of where it dies? | 00:55 |
| EriC^^ | it will list the installed packages | 00:56 |
| spirit88 | sweet | 00:56 |
| spirit88 | thanks | 00:56 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 00:56 |
| CRCinAU | ok - this whole launchpad thing is bullshit. | 00:58 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: hmm sorry if I misguided you here thought it was straightforward but really haven't used it aside from finding bugs, watch the language though the ops in here try to keep it family friendly | 00:59 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: oh - its the right place.... but every time I click the "Report a bug" link, even after registering, I get dumped at a wiki page. | 00:59 |
| CRCinAU | I ended up here -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 01:00 |
| CRCinAU | that takes me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs when I try to use the "Report a bug" link | 01:00 |
| CRCinAU | which is a static wiki page | 01:00 |
| TekNinja | hi | 01:02 |
| arthurfiggis | CRCinAU: no idea why that would be happening, i followed all the links that you listed and they all led me to the ubuntu one signin page | 01:02 |

| wafflej0ck | it is weird | 01:03 |
| potatoes_ | I have a bash script that is basically catting out multiple files, so file1.txt file2.txt how do I echo out the current file it's catting out it's loop iteration? | 01:03 |
| CRCinAU | ffs | 01:03 |
| CRCinAU | that is 110% useless. | 01:03 |
| CRCinAU | potatoes_: for i in *.txt; do echo $i; cat $i >> output.txt; done | 01:04 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: ubuntu-bug doesn't work for ya? seems like that's the "general purpose" answer | 01:05 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: I don't even have ubuntu installed ;) | 01:06 |
| CRCinAU | that's the whole problem - can't get it to install ;) | 01:06 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: ah right *face palm* | 01:06 |
| CRCinAU | and its something to do with the xen images that are published here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ | 01:06 |
| CRCinAU | I can't believe in this day and age something as simple as filing a bug is so complex | 01:11 |
| CRCinAU | I haven't had any of these issues on github / redhat / debian and just about any other major project :\ | 01:11 |
| daftykins | i would think there'd be other people in here kicking up a stink if what you say is true, CRCinAU | 01:12 |
| CRCinAU | I kinda thought I was a little unfair on Ubuntu thinking it was a bit of a braindead project - but I'm starting to reconsider that :\ | 01:12 |
| daftykins | now feel free to continue to comment in #ubuntu-offtopic but this isn't a channel for venting ones spleen | 01:12 |
| CRCinAU | well - thats the interesting part - if I use the debian vmlinuz - with the ubuntu initrd, I get the installer screen | 01:13 |
| CRCinAU | but different kernel versions mean no network drivers etc etc etc | 01:13 |
| CRCinAU | if I use the ubuntu vmlinuz, nothing works :\ | 01:13 |
| CRCinAU | its almost like the vmlinuz was built incorrectly for the install on Xen - even though its a xen netboot image | 01:15 |
| wafflej0ck | CRCinAU: have you tried any Xen focused chats might have more luck with other Xen users? | 01:15 |
| Pinkamen1_D | what desktop enviro supports having two seperate video cards and spanning the desktop across them | 01:15 |
| CRCinAU | its fine if you use the xl console (ie log into the Xen host), but we use VNC | 01:15 |
| CRCinAU | wafflej0ck: yeah - nobody admits to installing Ubuntu ;) | 01:15 |
| CRCinAU | to install only using the hvc0 console, you have to give everyone root access to the Xen Dom0 - which is not going to happen | 01:17 |
| CRCinAU | the VNC console that is an emulated video card etc doesn't need any of that. | 01:17 |
| BuffyBZ | I just rebooted my ubuntu 12.04 (I think) server with md raid5 boot drive, got got a grub2 error saying disk not found. I have downloaded the live cd, and am getting the bootinfo script. Is there a channel that specializes in help with raid or boot issues? | 01:18 |
| CRCinAU | BuffyBZ: since when you can boot off a md RAID5? | 01:18 |
| CRCinAU | I was pretty sure it was RAID1 only for /boot at the most (and really, the boot doesn't use the RAID1) | 01:19 |
| BuffyBZ | CRCinAU, Sorry, the root fs is raid 5. not sure where the boot was. | 01:20 |
| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, did you get my last message? i think my internet might have cut out. | 01:21 |
| wafflej0ck | yeah saw it actually just didn't flip back to start looking at how to reconfigure it | 01:21 |
| CRCinAU | BuffyBZ: I'm going to guess you haven't made an /etc/mdadm.conf - therefore the initrd doesn't have a copy of the RAID layout to progress past the kernel boot | 01:21 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: basically deal is they need to end up on the same subnet so the subnet mask should be the same, but would need to look at how the connection sharing on linux determines the IP to use for the shared connection | 01:23 |
| hardtail | eric^^ it installed rebooting now | 01:24 |
| BuffyBZ | CRCinAU, The server has been running raid5 for quite a while, and rebooted a few times since going to raid5. In fact I rebooted yesterday with no issues. | 01:24 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: other thing that needs to happen is every device on the network needs to have a unique IP, conflicts will cause problems, beyond that part the DNS needs to be able to resolve for you to connect through a regular browser using domains, but if you can ping across the network then everything but the dns is good | 01:26 |
| wafflej0ck | l2ksolkov: problem is we need to start with, where is it getting that 10.*.*.* address for the ethernet connection and how do we change it | 01:27 |
| hardtail | if ubuntu loading bars are frozen should i just power off and on? | 01:27 |
| wafflej0ck | hardtail: yeah if you're stuck at the shutdown screen you can just power off and power on, you could also check if you can get to a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 you might want to drop the output of dmesg somewhere to see what's failing | 01:28 |
| l2ksolkov | wafflej0ck, the 10.*.*.* seems to be the default for ICS | 01:28 |
| hardtail | wafflej0ck hmm, it is not responsive to ctrl alt f1 | 01:29 |
| lkthomas | hey guys, is there have a way to disable apparmor logging ? | 01:33 |
| jac1d | Just trying to install 14.04 on an older mobo with NVidia GF9400 onboard graphics. I've run afoul of the apparently common problem of "no screens found" when you try and start x | 01:33 |
| jac1d | I have read that I may need to sert a BUSID line in the xorg.conf file (why, I can't even imagine?!) but I can't find the file?? where do I set this, or any other ideas welse | 01:33 |
| jac1d | welcome | 01:33 |
| BuffyBZ | So in live cd I install mdadm, re-assembled the array and it looks fine. I did a modprobe dm-mod, then a vgchange -ay, and the root fs popped up in nautalis. So the fs and array look okay. | 01:34 |
| daftykins | !nomodeset | jac1d try this | 01:34 |

| hardtail | uh oh. after rebooting now the screen just flashes tints of black,..now what? haha | 01:36 |
| wafflej0ck | hardtail: what were you doing before the reboot, are you aware of and/or have used nomodeset boot parameter | 01:38 |
| farva | Hello, I have multiple java processes and I need to stop one of them, when I use HTOP I cannot kill the processes, how can I stop that one process without effecting the other java processes? | 01:39 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, did you user start the processes, or are they owned by another user? | 01:40 |
| farva | I started the process | 01:40 |
| hardtail | wafflej0ck i was installing ubuntu with nomodeset boot parameter yes. once it completed it said reboot | 01:40 |
| farva | I have full perms for the server | 01:40 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, When you say you cant kill them with htop, why not? Error? | 01:41 |
| farva | it gives me no output | 01:41 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, Tried a kill from the command line with the pid of the process? | 01:42 |
| === jayar is now known as Guest85284 | ||
| farva | okay, so I would do: sudo kill [pid] ? | 01:42 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, Yes. If that doesnt work, try a sudo kill -9 [pid] | 01:43 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, The first sends a request asking the process to TERMinate. The second KILLs it. | 01:44 |
| farva | sudo kill -9 [pid] worked | 01:45 |
| farva | thank you Buffy <3 | 01:45 |
| BuffyBZ | farva, no probs, your welcome. | 01:45 |

| BuffyBZ | So I have managed to mount my raid5 array and get my LV mounted in a live cd. I know which disk had grub installed. I can see /boot inside the LV. How do I reinstall grub2 to fix the issue when grub reports 'disk lvmid/[hash] not found' and drops to a grub rescue prompt? | 01:47 |

| hardtail | if using nomodeset to install ubuntu, then after reboot the screen flickers black what should you do? | 01:52 |
| bubbasaures | hardtail, repeat and rinse with a graphics driver. | 01:54 |
| hardtail | bubbasaures - what does that mean with a graphics driver? | 01:55 |
| bubbasaures | hardtail, Just sounds like you need a graphics driver, not all are autoloaded on a install. | 01:56 |
| hardtail | bubbasaures my apologies, i am not experienced with this. so how do i get one? | 01:56 |
| bubbasaures | hardtail, use the nomodeset boot, update and upgrade when in and check the additional drivers app. | 01:57 |
| wafflej0ck | hardtail: typically, you want to use "jockey" or "Additional Drivers" GUI to add or change the graphics drivers, nomodeset parameter should have it skip using any specific graphics drivers and use the generic drivers without acceleration | 01:57 |
| Bashing-om | hardtail: Ubuntu 14.04 ? , can you get to a terminal or console ? then try terminal command -> ubuntu-drivers autoinstall <- to install a proprietary driver. | 01:57 |
| hardtail | it wont accept any commands ctl alt f1 does not work | 01:58 |
| bubbasaures | !nomodeset | hardtail read the install boot | 01:58 |
| ubottu | hardtail read the install boot: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:58 |

| daftykins | that seems somewhat unlikely | 02:00 |

| ajeet | hi all | 02:08 |
| arthurfiggis | neldogz: i have run into the exact same problem...whatever it is, it goes away if you -don't- use encrypted home directories. When i reinstalled and used full disk encryption instead, left the encrypted home directory unchecked, the swap file was mounted without issues | 02:09 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: asdf- Odd agreed, booting version 14.04, but has the later 3.15 & 3.17 kernels. Curious what the synlinks are from -> ls -al / <- . | 02:10 |
| neldogz | arthurfiggis, thank you for confirming. I will do just that actually. | 02:10 |
| Bashing-om | symbolic links. | 02:10 |
| hardtail | bubbasaures - i read the instructions. i cant get to grub or open the terminal at all. non of the keyboard commands prompt anything | 02:11 |
| arthurfiggis | neldogz: no problem :) i wish i knew more about what was actually causing it, hopefully it's fixed in 14.10...but that seemed to solve it for me at least, so hopefully it'll work for you as well | 02:11 |
| Bashing-om | hardtail: EFI system ? | 02:11 |
| neldogz | arthurfiggis, i tried recreating it but same problem. I like the disk encryption idea better :) | 02:11 |

| BuffyNZ | wafflej0ck: Yeah, my issue if really specific, thanks for reading though, appreciate it | 02:57 |
| BuffyNZ | Okay, change of tack. I have access to my old root fs. I am rebuilding the server. Is there an easy way to find out which packages were installed from the old root fs and reinstall them on the new one? | 03:02 |
| wafflej0ck | BuffyNZ: you can check out your /var/log/dpkg.log that'll show anything installed with dpgk or apt-get, probably scripts to get just the package list too | 03:03 |
| wafflej0ck | BuffyNZ: looks like this post walks through a few steps to reinstall from dpkg.log http://askubuntu.com/questions/50622/how-to-reinstall-many-removed-packages-at-once | 03:04 |
| wafflej0ck | oh wait that's looking for removed ones thoguh I think... might need to change that a bit | 03:05 |
| wafflej0ck | ah also might have some older logs since that one "rolls over" it looks like | 03:07 |
| BuffyNZ | wafflej0ck, Yeah, this a four or five year old server, I think. :) Going back through the logs may be hard. | 03:07 |
| wafflej0ck | BuffyNZ: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17823/how-to-list-all-installed-packages this is using apt-get but think you'd need to chroot probably? | 03:08 |
| BuffyNZ | wafflej0ck: I am going to try chrooting to the old root fs and ... Great minds think alike. :) | 03:08 |

| linuxmint | Hello, is anyone able to help with ssh remote access. It was working last week, but the same command doesn't work this week? | 03:11 |
| BuffyNZ | linuxmint: what command, any errors? | 03:11 |
| wafflej0ck | linuxmint: what feedback are you getting? | 03:11 |
| linuxmint | BuffyNZ: I can't ssh from outside public WAN into LAN machine behind pfSense. pfSense has the port forwarded, ssh works inside the LAN, I tried the commands ssh user@publicWANIP:portNumber, ssh user@publicWANIP -p portNumber and ssh -p portNumber@publicWANIP. Error: ssh: Could not resolve hostname publicWANIP: nodename nor servname provided, or not known | 03:12 |

| ubuntuaddicted | my friend has a weird situation. if he runs steam from a terminal he can connect to my borderlands 2 game and has audio from the game BUT if he starts steam from the menu entry he can't connect and he has no sound. he's verified the command he's running in the terminal is the same command in the menu entry. why is this? something about ENV variables? how does he track down this issue | 03:23 |
| linuxmint | BuffyNZ: that's ok. The trick I find is trying to troubleshoot to find the problem. Port scanner is a bit unreliable as it shows most ports as Stealth, but I know they are open and work. I might have to check at the packet leve. | 03:24 |

| ubuntuaddicted | wafflej0ck, ok, i created a menu entry using menu editor in xubuntu 14.04 and for the command i typed in "printenv >> ~/somefile.txt" without the quotes but when I click the menu entry no file gets created in my home folder? | 03:39 |
| rr1991 | Simple question for Ubuntu Desktop 14.04: I want to change my user password to something that is both 'too short' and 'not good enough'. I know , not supersafe, but I want that. Can it be done? I remember it was possible for early versions of ubuntu. Thank you | 03:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rr1991, you can set whatever password for your user you want to the best of my knowledge | 03:41 |
| BuffyNZ | rr1991: 'sudo passwd <login>' will override any password complexity requirements | 03:42 |
| BuffyNZ | rr1991:Run it from terminal | 03:42 |
| wafflej0ck | ubuntuaddicted: not sure about the menuentry file you're referring to have a link by chance? if you just run that command in a terminal you should see the resulting file | 03:43 |
| wafflej0ck | ubuntuaddicted: if not try just, printenv, it should output to the terminal | 03:43 |

| okimoyo | This should be a simple question but it's been vexing me. When I log into my ubuntu system (14.04) there is a nice system summary display. It's not coming from .bashrc, does anyone know which script is generating that | 03:54 |
| Guest27393 | Hi guys, I'm having the same issue as the individuals in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2161232 . I believe the common thread is the CPU model. I am wondering if anyone knows a workaround besides using a DVD? I would use a DVD rom drive but the only one I have is an IDE and this new mobo I got doesn't have an IDE slot | 03:55 |
| somsip | okimoyo: /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile are also run on login. Worth checking in those perhaps? | 03:56 |
| Guest27393 | I would have made another thread about it but that thread got closed before there seemed to be a resolution so I didn't want to be disrespectful | 03:56 |
| wafflej0ck | ubuntuaddicted: yeah not sure really just tried fiddling with a few ways of doing it in alacarte but nothing working | 03:59 |
| Bashing-om | Guest27393: There is nothing dis-respectful about saying you have a problem, and referencing that original thread. Sorry I do not have a solution to offer. | 04:02 |

| ajeffri | I need to go, but I will check in soon... | 04:17 |
| wafflej0ck | Guest27393: plenty of distros out there, you might want to check out RedHat or SuSe they are pretty polished as well and not part of the main Debian line of Linux that Ubuntu and some of it's related distros come from, but believe RedHat is using Gnome 3 now and SuSe is using KDE so on the surface you can check out some other Linux distros that use the same desktop environments you could use in Ubuntu but the underlying package | 04:19 |

| wafflej0ck | Guest27393: no they have different repositories of packages, in a large part that's what makes up a "distro" so it's typically not trivial to just switch ditros since you would have a bunch of packages from different repositories that may have incompatibilities (also the package managers themselves are different in many cases though I'm not sure between Ubuntu and Debian how far all the tools have diverged) | 04:24 |

| cloudbud | Flannel : admin | 05:46 |
| Flannel | cloudbud: You /can/ do that, but it won't be ideal (and it'll take extra steps). There's already a group called "admin", and users all get their own group. Which is what is causing that error (it can't create the 'admin' group, because it already exists) | 05:47 |

| OERIAS | any chance of upgrade ubuntu 6.06 to 14.04? | 06:01 |
| Flannel | OERIAS: through 8.04, 10.04, and 12.04 | 06:02 |
| abram_ | OERIAS: holy cow, you're runing 6.06? ;-) | 06:02 |
| abram_ | OERIAS: I would recommend simply starting from a fresh 14.04. Otherwise you're in for a long tedious process | 06:02 |
| abram_ | that will likely break things | 06:02 |
| abram_ | one single dist-upgrade is bad enough | 06:02 |
| OERIAS | abram_, Flannel I can't restart from scratch | 06:02 |
| abram_ | OERIAS: sure you can. Just install a fresh system and copy your files | 06:03 |
| abram_ | all the state on your existing system can be moved to a new one | 06:03 |
| OERIAS | no, i was specifically not to | 06:03 |
| Bashing-om | OERIAS: Verry slim to none at all .. Way too much has changed in the Opersying system since then, And the time & bandwidth is tremendous ! | 06:03 |
| OERIAS | Bashing-om, via full dvd? | 06:03 |
| abram_ | OERIAS: not being able to simply start with a fresh install is an unreasonable requirement in your situation | 06:04 |
| OERIAS | abram_, I know, but the requirements are set | 06:04 |
| Flannel | OERIAS: You can go 6.06 to 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 to 14.04. This was already stated. It's not going to be fun or elegant, but it'll work. | 06:04 |
| abram_ | anyway, there's got to be a way to wipe the hibernation state... I couldn't find anything with googling | 06:04 |
| OERIAS | Flannel, via Full dvd, right? | 06:04 |
| abram_ | Usually when I do a dist-upgrade, something gets funky, and I waste a lot of time fixing it | 06:04 |

| ki7mt | darkelfjuggalo, boot into recovery mode: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password | 06:30 |
| quuxman | darkelfjuggalo: a simpler option is to plug a bootable disk in, boot off that, open a root prompt, mount the root from your system, run `chroot /mnt/myroot; passwd` | 06:31 |
| ki7mt | quuxman, that's what the how too explains | 06:32 |
| quuxman | I like manually changing init to /bin/bash with grub, because it doesn't require a boot disk ;-) | 06:32 |
| wafflej0ck | coolstar: typically you want to find the source development site and see if they provide a PPA or a deb file, the problem is the PPA is outside of the scope of being supported by canonical it's use at your own risk since you're downloading from a third party in the "worst case scenario" you would download the source and compile it but would need to read the instructions with the source or on the site that provides the source to | 06:32 |
| wafflej0ck | build and install the program | 06:32 |
| neXyon | hi, I have a weird problem, can't find anything on google :-/ I have a network card that is connected to the internet and the default route; I also have a wifi USB stick that is configured to access to an access point; now when I try to connect to this PC over the wifi network it always fails, but after I ping the other device from this PC it works; any clue what's wrong here? | 06:33 |
| wafflej0ck | coolstar: problem with doing it yourself is you'll never get updates and it isn't being tested by anyone but you | 06:33 |
| ki7mt | quuxman, fare enough, linux should == there's always more than one way to do something :-) | 06:33 |
| helpUbuntu | hi | 06:34 |
| quuxman | ok, I'm going to reboot to see if my sledgehammer fix to my completely borked hibernate state works | 06:34 |
| wafflej0ck | helpUbuntu: hello | 06:34 |
| helpUbuntu | i am getting the system is running in low graphics mode. | 06:35 |
| coolstar | wafflej0ck, only thing is the one in the default ubuntu repo is broken :/ | 06:35 |
| coolstar | otherwise I'd gladly use the one in the repo | 06:35 |
| ki7mt | coolstar, if the repo version is not what you want / need, build it from source and use something like checkinstall to manage it, bare in mind, you'll need to resolve the deps manually. | 06:35 |
| wafflej0ck | coolstar: yeah I understand sometimes it happens and sometimes I go outside the main repos but just need to let you know it's no mans land at that point | 06:35 |
| learning | I am planning to host my project on aws and want to encrypt home directory. I have setup password less ssh login via key. When I logout from the ssh session, will the home directory get encrypted? In that case, how the program will be able to read the text files from the filesystem? | 06:36 |
| ki7mt | coolstar, another option is to looks for PPA's of the latest versions, but you should consider something like y-ppa-manager to keep things sane. | 06:37 |
| helpUbuntu | i am new to ubuntu! i rebooted in recovery mode and did the failsafeX | 06:37 |
| helpUbuntu | and I am still getting the same screen. | 06:37 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: I'm not sure as you have setup two path on the same network and it will prefer the faster I would think so wifi would be lower slower and maybe disconect it | 06:39 |
| ki7mt | helpUbuntu, It would helpful if you could describe the original problem ( as to why you needed failsafeX to begin with), maybe you have already not sure. | 06:39 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: it may or should also have 2 ip address on your network if they did work so you sure you are ping the correct ip? | 06:40 |
| ki7mt | .. s/would helpful/would be helpful/g .. | 06:40 |
| helpUbuntu | Hi ki7mt, i tried upgrading my 12.04 to 14.04. During the upgrade, my system displayed a window which said your system is running in low graphics mode and I couldnt get past that window. | 06:41 |
| ki7mt | helpUbuntu, I'm not a graphics expert, but this may provide some assistance: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error | 06:43 |
| helpUbuntu | I checked this link, but here after ctrl+alt+f1, i am not able to login. It says login incorrect everytime | 06:44 |
| helpUbuntu | I have tried resetting the password, and checked if there is a keyboard layout issue. Still no luck. | 06:44 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: yeah it's the correct IP; how can I check if it shuts down? :-o | 06:45 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: wow maybe an encrypted /home ? | 06:45 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: well you can see how it's presently setup to route with route -n as it will set priority at whatever hits the mask first | 06:46 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: yeah the routing is setup fine | 06:47 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: you should be able to manualy modify the order of the route if you prefer to have wifi on top | 06:47 |
| neXyon | 10.1.1.* is the wifi network and that's configured for the wifi, the normal ethernet network is in a different network | 06:47 |
| ki7mt | helpUbuntu, it would appear you have multiple issues unfortunately. If you PW is not working, you need resolve that before anything else can transpire. | 06:47 |
| helpUbuntu | hi sacarlson1, there is no .ecryptfs folder. I am assuming hence not encrypted. | 06:48 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: oh they are on subnets? so then behind nat so only one direction to start might be the case | 06:48 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: ok that's out. you ever login from a term before? | 06:49 |
| helpUbuntu | sacarlson1, no I have never done that before. I am new to this stuff :) | 06:50 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: you should be able to boot as single user mode and see what the state of the none working acount is in | 06:50 |
| neXyon | schmidtm: no the devices I'm trying to connect are all in the same subnet 10.1.1.1/24 | 06:50 |
| neXyon | oops sorry schmidtm wanted to autocomplete sacarlson1 | 06:50 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: see that the /home for that account is still present and see that /etc/password /etc/shadow still contain the account | 06:51 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: if they are in the same subnet then the order they are listed in route would be on top I guess then | 06:54 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: try change the order of route to prove or disprove that theory | 06:54 |
| helpUbuntu | sacarlson1, Checked, both the files have the entry for my username. | 06:55 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: but it seems somewhat pointless to have two path to the same network but there must be some method to use it as redundent | 06:56 |
| quuxman | damn, that did not work | 06:56 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: there is no redundant path | 06:57 |
| neXyon | the default eth0 device is connected to the internet, not to the private network that is a wifi | 06:57 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: well then I count two subnetworks NOT one | 06:58 |
| shadej | hey all | 06:58 |
| shadej | I am trying to install adobe air but getting this error "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" | 06:59 |
| shadej | Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"", I searched the web but cant get useful info. | 06:59 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: what is the total number of nics now 3? | 06:59 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: instead of making me guess why not paistbin route -n and ifconfig | 07:00 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: ok let's start from scratch, the PC has two nics: eth0 which connects to the internet and wlan0 which connects to an access point in the private 10.1.1.1/24 network, I want to contact the PC with my phone in the same wifi network, but I have to ping it from the PC first before I can establish a connection from the phone | 07:01 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: don't tell me show me | 07:01 |
| ki7mt | shadej, which version of Ubuntu ? Your probably missing a lib somewhere | 07:01 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: I get confused as I speak to computers not people | 07:02 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: also SHOW me iptables -L | 07:03 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: I would also need the same data from the phone as how is it getting it's route info? dhcp? | 07:04 |
| ki7mt | the easy way is to setup an ad-hoc hot spot. there's lots of how-too's to do that. | 07:05 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: no iptables configured, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8699945/ | 07:06 |
| darkelfjuggalo | i just changed to the root password through recovery mode... the root password is not responding to anything that requires the root password | 07:07 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: phone is in via DHCP to the access point and can connect fine to a laptop in the same network, laptop also can't connect to the PC, so the problem is not on that side | 07:08 |
| sadfdsa | is there a good gui for mplayer, so i can pause and rewind and stuff? | 07:08 |
| helpUbuntu | sacarlson1, i checked the /var/log/auth.log, i am getting a a bunch of PAM adding faulty module lines and pam_windbind errors PAM_USER_UNKOWN and NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USERS if that helps. What can I do? | 07:09 |
| ki7mt | sadfdsa, Have you looked at mplayer-gui in the repo's ? | 07:09 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: well I have to assume there is missing info here as the xx.xx part and the other missing part is I would guess that each of the device have a different gateway path | 07:10 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: so from that guess the ubuntu can ping the phone but the phones path to it's gateway can't find you ubuntu | 07:11 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: I can connect to the PC after the PC tried to connect to the phone | 07:12 |
| Sunstream | Okay | 07:12 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: pam? | 07:12 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: I guess it's either an arp problem, routing or the device really shuts down, because after some time without packages sent I cannot connect anymore and have to do the same again | 07:12 |
| Sunstream | Is there a "scandisk" or some option to test the HDD and make sure it really has a bad sector? | 07:13 |
| Sunstream | for lUBUNTI | 07:13 |
| Sunstream | um | 07:13 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: I"m not sure why pam would be involved here. is there something different you setup on this account? | 07:13 |
| Sunstream | netsh?! | 07:13 |
| Sunstream | Netsh, why are you pinging me? | 07:13 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, sudo /sbin/fsck -t ext4 /dev/sdbx | 07:13 |
| Netsh | Sunstream, sory, please forgive | 07:13 |
| sacarlson1 | helpUbuntu: oh that must be from the samba network | 07:14 |
| Sunstream | No I was wondering | 07:14 |
| Sunstream | I do not have a problem with it i was wondering | 07:14 |
| Netsh | Sunstream, I'm trying to script python to ping someone that says !ping | 07:14 |
| Sunstream | ahh | 07:14 |
| Netsh | I suddenly realized I was pinging everyone that said anything :( | 07:14 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: oh ya that could be a power saver mode in the phone. I've had that happen when I ssh into my phone at times | 07:14 |
| helpUbuntu | sacarlson1, no i did not anything. :( | 07:14 |
| Netsh | I've stopped that bug | 07:15 |
| Sunstream | well I suggest if you want to do something like that, go into the room dedicated to python scripting | 07:15 |
| Sunstream | nods | 07:15 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: no not the phone, the wifi on the PC | 07:15 |
| Netsh | yeah, good call | 07:15 |
| Sunstream | Okay ki7mt not that I do not mind doing stuff CLI is there a GUI one? | 07:15 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:16 |
| Sunstream | thats right | 07:16 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Select the device and select, "Check" | 07:16 |
| Sunstream | thanks I forgot the name of the silly program | 07:16 |
| Sunstream | thank you | 07:16 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, welcome | 07:16 |
| Sunstream | btw | 07:17 |
| Sunstream | how do I get the CLI to quit trying to resolve host for my system with sudo commands? | 07:17 |
| * Viking667 departs for now | 07:18 | |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: ya I guess the attempt to connect to the phone will update it's arp records and have maybe aid it's path. also maybe in the network switch it sets up with arp | 07:18 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: the solution being setup keep alive ping | 07:19 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, not sure I understand, what commands are you using, and then what's the output ? | 07:19 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: small script that set a single ping every X secounds | 07:20 |
| ki7mt | try pingtest with a cron: http://pingtest.sourceforge.net/ | 07:21 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: that's not really how I want to solve it :-/ | 07:21 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: well without a quick solution one uses what works at the time | 07:22 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: other wise you can keep dwelling on it | 07:22 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: well, the clients might get different IPs from the DHCP router, so I'd have to ping the whole subnet | 07:23 |
| Sunstream | I will PM it to you | 07:23 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, just pastebin it .. so others can see as well. | 07:24 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: other clients? well any ping creates an arp that is seen by all | 07:24 |
| karab44 | hello | 07:24 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: lol I just found the problem | 07:24 |
| xeirrr | Anyone use minimal install image here? | 07:24 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: cool what is it? | 07:24 |
| Sunstream | its just 3 lines | 07:24 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: there's another PC with the same IP :-o | 07:24 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: wow I would have never guessed that one | 07:25 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: yeah, too bad I don't have that wifi for myself | 07:25 |
| Sunstream | Hold I gotta make it | 07:25 |
| potatoes_ | I realize this may not be enough info to tell but can anyone explain why: grep $i node12.last | cut -d ' ' -f2 | sort -u | see -i "/$i/d" node12.txt apparently deletes everything from the file | 07:25 |
| karab44 | guys I had app installed via application market and I downloaded latest version directly from the web. It was beautiful until I haven't uninstalled old one. Nautilus stopped launching my app when clicking on the file. Now I have to launch the app and open files from the program. How to bring back direct file opening? | 07:25 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: and the only info I got from the admin is that 10 to 200 is DHCP and I can use the rest for static -.- | 07:26 |
| geovane | algum brasileiro ? | 07:26 |
| ki7mt | xeirrr, whats' the question. allot of folks do QA install testing here .. | 07:26 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: you have more than one dhcp running on one network? hows that even posible? | 07:26 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: it's only one DHCP, why do you think it's 2? | 07:26 |
| geovane | speak portuguese? | 07:27 |
| hateball | !pt | 07:27 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. | 07:27 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: you can put 10 dhcp servers on it. I"ve had 2 runing by accident | 07:27 |
| ki7mt | karab44, You more than likely need an appropriate .desktop file, which are provided by the package maintainers, you could add one to ~/.local/share/applications directory if the souce project doesn't provide one. | 07:27 |
| xeirrr | kit7mt: fluxbox doesn't looks clear... | 07:27 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: I meant the DHCP server handles 10.1.1.10 to 10.1.1.200 so the rest is free for statics like I need for that PC that should work as a local server | 07:28 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: well ping the fringes and see what's out there | 07:28 |
| karab44 | ki7mt: it's a bit different issue. I am not able to launch files with particular extensions with that program, not program itself. In example if you have xcf extensions you would like the GIMP opens it. | 07:29 |
| ki7mt | karab44, Oh, file associations, that's a bit different. | 07:29 |
| karab44 | yes, file associations | 07:30 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: I've done it at my company back in the old days with all static ip I didnt' wait for an admin to hook me in I would just ping find an opening and hook in. but later the guy would come to work and have problems with me on the same ip is him | 07:30 |
| neXyon | sacarlson1: just ran nmap :D | 07:30 |
| ki7mt | karab44, The "easiest way" that I use, is to use Ubuntu Tweak for that. | 07:30 |
| sacarlson1 | neXyon: ya I think nmap will ping ranges | 07:30 |

| edition | dvdchr: For applications, you should consider a package for debian based releases (ie: Ubuntu 12.04) | 08:03 |
| sacarlson | Lope: but it can be done | 08:04 |
| Lope | sacarlson: okay, then the system would boot up chroot'ed? | 08:04 |

| Lope | sacarlson: I think to make my life simpler, I'll split the disk into multiple partitions | 08:04 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, In general, if a file is not located in /etc/login.def $PATH, the file is not executable or readable globally, however, it can still be "found" with locate, find and other search tools. | 08:05 |

| ki7mt | dvdchr, it also depends on what the .out file is, a library, binary (executable) or what, as to where in the FHS the file should reside. If all you need is to ahve it available to a user, add it to ~/bin, and edit the ~/bin conditional in your ~/.bashrc file, then source it. | 08:07 |
| sacarlson | Lope: I just use symbolic links to move stuf | 08:08 |
| dvdchr | the .out file is an executable; using absolute path e.g. "./a.out args1 args2" it is working normally | 08:08 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, The I would use /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin | 08:08 |
| ki7mt | .. then .. | 08:08 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, Adding a binary to /usr/local/bin allows for local installation, without messing with the packaging directories, and is sourced in $PATH by default. | 08:09 |

| dvdchr | ki7mt, what about file dependancies? The binary depends on some folders and text files adjacent to it | 08:19 |
| linuxmint | Shunya: you're welcome :-) | 08:20 |
| dvdchr | *dependencies | 08:20 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, system dependencies should be picked up automatically, if you binary is looking for libs and things you've built, you need to install them where they need to be, for example: /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/share/man1 etc | 08:21 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, If the folders are shared, and not system / ARCH dependent, /usr/local/share/<foldername> etc | 08:22 |
| dvdchr | ki7mt, okay, thanks! | 08:23 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, I would also recommend you use pkg-config to install you program, as that solves allot of these issues. | 08:23 |

| dvdchr | ki7mt, one last thing; how do I uninstall the program if I installed it via gnu install? | 08:27 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, Losts of ways, through the use of a manifest file, or manually. Your make install target should have both an install and uninstall target, listing the things you install, and thus, would uninstall using "make uninstall" | 08:29 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, Alternatives for this is an application called checkinstall .. does allot of this work for you when managing souce build installations. | 08:30 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 08:30 |
| dvdchr | ki7mt, how about programs installed via your command earlier: sudo install -m755 <binary-name> /usr/local/bin/<binary-name> | 08:31 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, However, like I said earlier, a properly constructed Makefile should account for both installation and removal. | 08:32 |
| Sunstream | no I had to do a emergency reboot so I lost that info | 08:33 |
| ki7mt | dvdchr, sudo install is a imple wrapper script, it simply allows for ag1, arg2, arg3 etc, see man install .. uninstall is simply removing the bianry with an sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/<binary-name> | 08:33 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, pastebin your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files so we can have a look at them. | 08:34 |
| Sunstream | So I need the command to fix that | 08:35 |
| dvdchr | ki7mt, thanks! | 08:35 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, more than likely, you need to set the host name up properly, like 127.0.0.1 or something simple, but it's not causing any major grief, other than saying it cant find it. | 08:35 |
| bmatusiak | anybody know why html5 apps built on ububtu-sdk dont work on touch device? | 08:36 |

| ki7mt | Sunstream, commands to do what ? | 08:36 |
| Sunstream | to get to the file and do the edit | 08:37 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, first, cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit | 08:37 |
| ki7mt | then we can look at what needs doing. | 08:37 |
| klander | hey guys. I'm trying to upgrade to 14.10 with do-release-upgrade but it comes back with No new release version found. | 08:38 |
| klander | (ubuntu server) | 08:39 |
| Sunstream | well why should I do that since it has never been edited | 08:39 |
| Sunstream | I assume that the default file is the same | 08:40 |
| Sunstream | I will do it b | 08:40 |
| Sunstream | hold | 08:40 |
| venkat_330 | Getting partition boundary error when using GPARTED: http://pastebin.com/gxKHaGZj | 08:40 |
| DJones | klander: If your on 14.04, I would guess that update manager is currently set to only show LTS upgrades | 08:41 |
| DJones | klander: Just trying to remember where the flag is that needs changing | 08:41 |
| ki7mt | klander, Check: cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades |grep Prompt .. it should say normal v.s lts, if not edit to say normal, | 08:41 |
| klander | DJones: ah i see. how might i get around that? | 08:41 |
| klander | cool | 08:41 |
| klander | Prompt=lts | 08:42 |
| sacarlson | klander: I would think before you jump. lts is better long term | 08:43 |
| ki7mt | klander, sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades && chenge Prompt=normal && sudp apt-get update .. then sudo do-release-upgrade | 08:43 |
| sacarlson | klander: you can backport most if not all that run on 14.10 | 08:43 |
| ki7mt | klander, Assuming you on 14.04 and want 14.10 that is. | 08:44 |
| DJones | klander: Must admit, I'd agree with sacarlson about sticking with LTS for a server release, you get 5 years support, won't need to keep continually upgrading every 9 months | 08:44 |
| ki7mt | +1 for servers LTS is best | 08:44 |
| Sunstream | ki7mt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8700941/ | 08:44 |
| Sunstream | +1? | 08:44 |

| Sunstream | then after 9 months | 08:46 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, No. it's only supported until July 2015 or there abouts. | 08:46 |
| Sunstream | I lose support for UU? | 08:46 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Yes, after July next year you will. | 08:46 |
| DJones | Sunstream: Yep, thats it, LTS is supported for 56 years from release, but non LTS will only be supported and get updates for 9 months | 08:46 |
| DJones | 5 years even | 08:47 |
| DJones | 56 year support would be great | 08:47 |
| Sunstream | 56 years wow | 08:47 |
| ki7mt | :-) 56yrs, Mark would not be happy with that | 08:47 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, You hosts file looks ok to me. | 08:47 |
| sacarlson | Sunstream: and also note all the people in here that after upgrade things that were working perfect now no longer work. best not to fix it if not broken | 08:47 |
| Sunstream | then | 08:48 |
| Sunstream | if it is ok | 08:48 |
| Sunstream | why is it still giving me unable to resovle | 08:48 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Actually, the second line, AD7BK-laptop .. may need to be just laptop, as that's the host name. | 08:48 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Actually, my bad, suntop looks to be the hostname .. | 08:49 |
| srccon | what ever happened to the ubuntu-android, meaning the one that ran desktop ubuntu when connected to a monitor | 08:50 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, suntop@AD7BK == <hostname>:$USER .. so that may be the issue. | 08:50 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, So in /etc/hosts .. try changing : 127.0.1.1 AD7BK-Laptop to 127.0.1.1 suntop | 08:51 |
| Sunstream | sudo leafpad hosts (while in the folder?) | 08:51 |
| srccon | wouldn't it be sudo leafpad /etc/hosts | 08:52 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, if you on Xubuntu, I suppose it's Leafpad .. so .. sudo leafpad /etc/hosts | 08:52 |
| srccon | is leafpad good? I have geany, but it feels a little to heavy for notes, what is the best small GUI notepad? | 08:53 |
| srccon | vim in the terminal, of course... ;) | 08:53 |

| Morpheusxnl | just a general question, i have ubuntu 14.04 installed. Would it be wise to install cinnamon? | 09:51 |
| Sunstream | well it has a scary warning | 09:53 |
| Sunstream | and I wish I could use disk utility | 09:53 |
| Sunstream | but | 09:53 |

| Fatboy_Slim | Does anybody here use ubuntu on a high DPI laptop screen? I have a Lenovo laptop with 14" screen and 2560x1440 resolution. Im having problems getting large enough text size in all my programs :/ | 09:54 |
| ki7mt | Morpheusxnl, If you want to test it safely, install VirtualBox, and install it there. | 09:54 |
| Sunstream | I got 0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt. ki7mt | 09:55 |
| sacarlson | Fatboy_Slim: I think there is a way to chage font size but might just be easier to change resolution of the screen more fitting for your vision | 09:55 |
| alokg | Do Selinux support ubuntu? | 09:55 |
| Sunstream | i did dismount the drive | 09:55 |
| Sunstream | before doing the command and this drive is "empty" | 09:56 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Like the others have posted, best way to run these thnigs is from a LiveCD, so yu cna ensure the volume is not mounted. | 09:56 |
| sacarlson | Fatboy_Slim: also if I recall when I tried to change font size it didn't seem to be active in all apps as some use different params I guess to change | 09:56 |
| Sunstream | well the file system is not mounted | 09:57 |
| Sunstream | I did unmount it | 09:57 |
| Sunstream | I know how to do that | 09:57 |
| oki | ki7mt: seems look some files doesn't upgraded yet, i in upgrade that files in process now and then i try to again install | 09:57 |
| Sunstream | I really do not want to mess around with liveCD | 09:57 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, is this drive part of your installation or a secondary volume ? | 09:58 |
| ki7mt | oki, Ok | 09:58 |
| Sunstream | options are as follows Remove dirty bit or no action and this is the secondary volume or rather a seperate HDD that is not the system drive ki7mt | 09:58 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Ok, well if you've unmounted the volume, then should be ok. I dont knwo what Remove dirty bit means, so can't really advise on that. | 10:00 |
| Fatboy_Slim | sacarlson: yes thats my experience as well, changing font size don't work on all programs, and I need to set it manually in half of my programs :/ | 10:00 |
| Sunstream | Well a "dirty bit" is part of fat32 that reports that it was not unmounted correctly or the system was turned off when it was in use. I will just remove it | 10:01 |

| porterhouse | hello, i would like to connect to ssh through a port other than 22 / 21. how can i know that the new port i am changing to is not alreasy taken? | 10:29 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: it might be you need to install some package for it to be suported | 10:30 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: I've never used pptp but openvpn is the same needing to install something | 10:30 |
| porterhouse | lets say i want to use port 6392, how can i be sure i am not blocking another service that is using it? | 10:30 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, The thing is I want to use PPTP instead because it's easier for me to set it up on any computer, even if I don't have admin rights. | 10:32 |
| billbo | ^porterhouse: Ubuntu has a /etc/services file which lists the most commonly used services even if you don't have them installed on that system. | 10:32 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, I've used openvpn before, but as for what I need to do, I need PPTP, which is set up on my Asus router, and everything worked fine until I updated to LTS 14 | 10:33 |
| sacarlson | cloudbud: I'm not sure what your reading to tell you how to move it so best show us that. also mysql might have security limits setup on ubuntu that allow it access to only certain locations unless changed | 10:33 |
| billbo | ^porterhouse: You can also use"netstat -ta" to list which services you are current running. Look for LISTEN state entries | 10:34 |
| porterhouse | billbo thank you, that is what i found online but could not fully understand | 10:34 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: check in synaptic to verify that pptp-linux is installed and if so maybe reinstall it | 10:35 |
| porterhouse | i see a few states - ESTABLISHED , TIME_WAIT , LISTEN, which one means i can use that port? | 10:35 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: there are 3 others I see in sysnaptic with pp2p in the name. it might be any of those | 10:36 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, apt-get says pptp-linux is at the latest version. | 10:36 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: so you do see it in network-manager then? | 10:37 |
| porterhouse | lets say i would like to see specifically about port 18355, what should i look for? | 10:37 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, the VPN option? It is there, but it always says "The VPN connection <name> failed" | 10:38 |
| bodom | Hi there, i've just upgraded to 14.10 and now my column list is empty in mysql-workbench. Anyone with the same issue? | 10:38 |
| billbo | porterhouse: Any entry in the local address column is in use at the moment. Entries that are in LISTEN state are for actual servers. The other states are related to established or old connections. | 10:38 |
| dmionica | i wrote <name> out of lazyness, btw :) | 10:38 |
| ki7mt | porterhouse, sudo netstat -tapen | grep ":<port-number>" | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: ok well I'm not sure I've never used pptp so at most you might try connect from the command line as at times you see more info that way | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: also verify from another path that the pptp is still working on the other end | 10:40 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, PPTP is working fine from Windows | 10:40 |
| billbo | porterhouse: Each end of a connection has a port number. That's why you need to look at the local address column. | 10:40 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, what do you mean from the command line? You mean configuring pptp without network manager? | 10:40 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: yes | 10:41 |
| porterhouse | ki7mt, if i enterred that line and it did not output anything, does that mean that that port is not in use and i am free to use it? | 10:41 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, I'm not sure how to do that, I've never configured PPTP from command line. | 10:41 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: all you see from networkmanager is true false it worked or not | 10:41 |
| sacarlson | dmionica: well your one up on me I"ve never configured it even with network-manager | 10:42 |
| ki7mt | porterhouse, it means, there's nothign "at the moment" listengin on that port number, but does not mean, you dont have multiple servers configured to sue that port if started. | 10:42 |
| porterhouse | billbo, i see, and if the port i am looking for is not on that list, does that mean that it is free or does it mean that ubuntu is not listening to it and i need to pick something from the list or add it to the list? | 10:42 |
| ki7mt | .. configured to use .. .. | 10:42 |
| dmionica | sacarlson, hmm... nevermind, apparently there is a problem with the encryption type o.O | 10:43 |
| === ybon1 is now known as ybon | ||
| sacarlson | dmionica: see that may have been more aparent at the command line | 10:44 |
| porterhouse | ki7mt, that sounds bad - if i use a port that i see is now free, later on some other program might start and decide to use it too? | 10:44 |
| === guy is now known as Guest56035 | ||
| ki7mt | porterhouse, Indeed, that would not be good. | 10:46 |

| k1l_ | arcsky: what gives you "lsb_release -d"? | 13:17 |
| arcsky | Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS | 13:20 |
| sacarlson | arcsky: I can't upgrade my openssl eather, I guess it's due to that there are dependancies already installed that need that version | 13:20 |
| k1l_ | arcsky: ok. can you pastebin a "apt-cache policy openssl" | 13:21 |
| arcsky | http://pastebin.com/Jr6xWbwq | 13:22 |
| sacarlson | what does the ! box in synaptic stand for in openssl as I can't upgrade I don't know what that symbol means as it's gray | 13:22 |
| k1l_ | arcsky: ok, you are aware, that ubuntu doesnt increase the version number but builds the patchs into that? | 13:23 |
| k1l_ | arcsky: see the changelog: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7/changelog | 13:23 |
| k1l_ | arcsky: so its the basis of version 1.0.1f but there are all security patches included (which makes it ubuntu version 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7) until 15.10.2014 | 13:25 |
| sacarlson | oh the symbol ! means Installed (upgradable) but it won't let me upgrade it eather | 13:25 |
| k1l_ | sacarlson: just run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal to make sure you got all updates | 13:26 |
| arcsky | k1l_: thanks | 13:26 |
| sacarlson | k1| i don't want to upgrade 14.04 to 14.10. I want lts | 13:27 |
| sacarlson | but I did apt-get update | 13:28 |
| k1l_ | sacarlson: apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt make it to 14.10. see the explanaition form apt | 13:28 |
| k1l_ | !dist-upgrade | 13:28 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 13:28 |

| moritzs | i've got a horrible rendering performance with XMonad after upgrading to 14.10 e.g. chrome stutters while scrolling. CPU governance is on performance, i've got an i7 4xxx. someone has an advice to track the issue? | 14:39 |
| sacarlson | even after the upgrade I don't see the difference in the file, maybe they added a space or something | 14:40 |

| Falc | somsip: no, no conflict. Also, I don't even get a 'command not found' error, I just get nothing | 14:45 |
| sacarlson | moritzs: I saw some discusion of how something changed in one of the new kernel release that not all the cpu cores are being used with 4 available only 2 cores went to 100%. not sure that has anything to do with you thing | 14:45 |

| somsip | Falc: hmmm | 14:48 |
| Falc | I'm going to try adding /opt/ibm/notes to my $PATH | 14:49 |
| sacarlson | ok upgrade complete time to reboot. if you fail to see min in 4 min then I advise against disp-upgrade ha ha, see ya in a bit I hope | 14:50 |
| Falc | aha, that doesn't work either | 14:50 |
| Falc | so if that executable needs to be looked up on the path, it doesn't work... but it's a java thing and that might have something to do with it | 14:52 |
| somsip | Falc: instead of a symlink, create a batch file like "PWD=`pwd`; cd /opt/ibm/notes; ./notes; cd $PWD" It seems like it's expecting to find something in the CWD | 14:53 |

| Falc | somsip: I know I can make it work, I'd just really like to find out why the obvious way doesn't work :-) | 14:54 |

| AlexPortable | Any way to have some 'mobile hotspot mode' in ubuntu? Which basically prevents it from checking updates, syncronising time and other stuff? | 15:19 |
| sacarlson | AlexPortable: I prefer google calender that integrates with my phone | 15:19 |
| AlexPortable | does google calendar requires internet? | 15:20 |
| sacarlson | AlexPortable: as well as integrates with all your google+ circle of people | 15:20 |
| AlexPortable | Well I don't always have internet on my machine | 15:20 |
| sacarlson | AlexPortable: on my phone it only requires internet to sync | 15:20 |

| AlexPortable | yeah well I'm on a mobile connection on my lapto | 15:20 |
| cable | AlexPortable you don't have to have always internet | 15:20 |
| jParkton | unicorn__: probably not | 15:21 |
| AlexPortable | well i prefer an offline solution | 15:21 |
| sacarlson | AlexPortable: my phone is the real calender and time keeper. the computer just makes it easy to update it and sync to all that need it | 15:21 |

| jParkton | maybe a better brain? My google cal only keeps track of events I put in there | 15:22 |

| AlexPortable | huh | 15:22 |
| AlexPortable | No I mean | 15:23 |
| AlexPortable | on desktop you can add it offline right? | 15:23 |
| cable | also on your phone | 15:23 |
| cable | and it will sync later on your desktop as well | 15:23 |
| cable | if you use google calender | 15:23 |
| cable | thats the power of sync. | 15:24 |
| jParkton | AlexPortable: there is NO calendar in the world you can add events OFFLINE and have it sync online | 15:24 |
| jParkton | thats just dumb | 15:24 |
| sacarlson | AlexPortable: aparently you can update and use google calender offline. I've never tried it https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/1340696?hl=en | 15:25 |
| tgm4883 | lol | 15:25 |
| cable | jParkton huh? | 15:25 |
| AlexPortable | jParkton: where exactly did I said sync online? | 15:25 |
| jParkton | and if this os for strictly offline access why even download a calendar? Just click the time in the sys tray and add an event to the already shipped calendar | 15:25 |
| sacarlson | jParkton: I beg to differ, you can update it offline until you sync when it is online | 15:25 |
| * tgm4883 reads backlog | 15:26 | |
| jParkton | sacarlson: that makes zero sense | 15:26 |

| tgm4883 | jParkton: no it really doesn't | 15:26 |
| jParkton | UPDATE denote some updating | 15:26 |
| sacarlson | jParkton: some people don't need to sync if they have only one device | 15:26 |
| jParkton | at least in English UPDATE means it is synching to something | 15:26 |
| AlexPortable | jParkton: how do I add an event? | 15:27 |
| tgm4883 | jParkton: I can easily update the calendar on my phone without it being connected to the internet. The next time I connect to the internet, it syncs the calendar to the rest of my devices | 15:27 |
| jParkton | sacarlson: then why talk about google calendar / ubuntu ystem calendar for 15 minutes if all he needs is an offline notebook | 15:27 |
| jParkton | tgm4883: so the FUNCTION of the calendar is to keep events updated somehow? | 15:28 |
| jParkton | weird | 15:28 |
| jParkton | almost like that is exactly what a calendar does and is intended to do | 15:28 |
| sacarlson | jParkton: it's just another option, wether he wants to use notebook or.... why not have options as to what you use for a calender | 15:28 |

| AlexPortable | waressea1cher2: camera (ptp) is to let the OS see the device you attached as a digital camera | 15:53 |

| White_Cat | ActionParsnip I used the commands with root | 16:18 |
| White_Cat | I attempted to access the folder using the created username | 16:18 |
| White_Cat | which cannot get there | 16:19 |
| === lily_ is now known as ooloo | ||
| jParkton | hulio: I dont see how that applies to anything but good to hear | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | White_Cat: then you will need to chown the folder back to its rightful owner | 16:20 |
| jParkton | White_Cat: also wrong command | 16:20 |
| White_Cat | I am unsure how to do that | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | White_Cat: if you avoid using root so very freely you will have significantly fewer issues | 16:20 |

| Skutov | Does anyone here know of a serial terminal client that will show the hex and the characters for recieved data at the same time? | 16:20 |
| White_Cat | it is what I start with | 16:20 |
| White_Cat | this is why i am creating a new account | 16:20 |
| White_Cat | so as not to use root | 16:20 |
| jParkton | White_Cat: you need to ls -la the /home/odoo or whatever that user was | 16:21 |
| jParkton | not /home | 16:21 |
| NJ_sysadmin | compdoc: Sorry didn't pastebin. | 16:21 |
| jParkton | that is roots and NO DO NOT CHOWN that | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | White_Cat: sudo chown -R odoo_user:odoo_user /home/odoo let the command run, you will see a warning but this is fine. | 16:21 |

| White_Cat | but I want to create a second username that has sudo access, someone not root | 16:23 |
| White_Cat | how can I do that? | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | White_Cat: add the user to the sudo group, job done | 16:23 |
| cuppy | White_Cat, you can even do that using the System Prefs GUI | 16:24 |
| sacarlson | Skutov: nope but long ago I wrote one back in like 1998 long since lost only needed one time. | 16:24 |
| Skutov | sacarlson, dammit... guess I'll have to do the same thing then... | 16:25 |
| sacarlson | Skutov: there are hex editors that will display hex files so if you can get the term data saved you can display it later | 16:26 |
| op_test221 | i am thinking of adding it to /etc/rc.local, but i am afraid of editing that file that may get rewritten next time i update ubunut | 16:26 |
| sacarlson | Skutov: does it have to be displayed in realtime? | 16:27 |
| hulio | jParkton, any good app for linux you have know or like ? | 16:27 |
| Skutov | sacarlson, Ideally, otherwise I'd be having to reload files a lot. | 16:27 |
| cuppy | I'm kinda surprised that I can't upgrade from 12.04 because my GPU is "old" | 16:27 |
| sacarlson | Skutov: maybe edit a version of tail then to display it while it come out | 16:28 |
| AlexPortable | ActionParsnip: no. i downgraded to driver 173, problem is stil lthere | 16:28 |
| waressea1cher2 | AlexPortable: right, its just I have regular phone motorola and when I plug it over USB it gives me options "charge" or "webcam" or "storage" so I mistakenly assumed at first I could do the same with android phone | 16:28 |
| AlexPortable | waressea1cher2: well you can with an app | 16:28 |

| srj55 | I have VM workstation on a windows laptop with 2 Windows server VMs and a ubuntu server vm. How can I make the hostname in the ubuntu server visible to the other VMs and my laptop? I set /etc/hosts --> 192.168.65.144 proxy and also set hostname to proxy. I also went into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and set -> send host-name "proxy";. what am i doing wrong? | 17:18 |

| rba1988 | quit | 17:19 |
| yossarianuk | ActionParsnip: what I mean is using the free driver does unclock your card (for any gl task) by about 80% | 17:19 |

| yossarianuk | ActionParsnip: ok in your case you do not. | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip | yossarianuk: I know, thats why I use the open driver | 17:21 |
| pgnome | <use gnome - obviously? :) | 17:21 |
| yossarianuk | ActionParsnip: but for someone who has paid money on a card really they need to use the binary to make use of it - otherwise you may as well have gone with intel | 17:22 |

| pgnome | I wonder if I should upgrade 14.04 to 14.10 | 17:23 |

| LurgidBee | Hello, I'm looking to autolink my cs50.h library so that I don't have to manually link it every time I compile. For example I have to do "gcc hello.c -lcs50 -o hello" instead of just "make". I have already followed the instructions at https://manual.cs50.net/library/#installation and I can't seem to get it to auto link the library. I'm trying to avoid using the cs50 appliance. | 17:23 |
| sacarlson | srj55: I don't fully understand your setup but can't you just have all the vm set to bridge network mode, have them all get ip from the same dhcp server? then they should all talk to each other. if you want to add names then that's another step maybe with bind9 | 17:23 |
| pgnome | although firefox is at 33.0 | 17:23 |

| yossarianuk | no but one of the reason ubuntu+debian are great is usually upgrading to next version is easy and fairly trouble free | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | pgnome: if 14.04 is working ok, stick with it | 17:24 |
| pgnome | I like to be at the latest , not necessarily bleeding edge...sometimes, some packages need a certain ver. of gcc? | 17:24 |
| yossarianuk | there isn't much difference between 14.04->14.10 (same for kubuntu also) | 17:24 |
| pgnome | for e.g. | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yossarianuk: go check the freenode answers section. Lots of users upgrading and having issues | 17:24 |
| pgnome | ok | 17:24 |
| pgnome | so, I'll just upgrade nvidia driver for now? | 17:25 |
| pgnome | i can upgrade release later? | 17:25 |
| yossarianuk | ActionParsnip: ok usually it is fine - and the track record is better than most other distros.. | 17:25 |
| sacarlson | LurgidBee: maybe just write your own script to compile and link it then | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yossarianuk: I always clean install. When 16.04 is out, new HDD and a clean install | 17:26 |
| srj55 | sacarlson: the vm's all use NAT to share host's IP address. I'm not sure if the problem is with the VM config, or just the way my ubuntu box is setup. the windows machines all work: I can connect using the hostname to web servers running on those VMs, so I'm lead to believe the isssue is with ubuntu hostname not being "propogated" to the other machines? | 17:26 |
| nusr | ActionPArsnip: thanks but I found the error. it was missing the tail end of a deb. however, now update is saying could not resolve http. it is just one of t he mirrors for R | 17:27 |
| yossarianuk | ive upgraded kubuntu 14.04 -> 14.10 - took about 30 mins - no issues whatsoever - i didn't have any extra repos(PPA's) added though | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nusr: can you pastebin the sources.list file please | 17:27 |
| sacarlson | srj55: oh ok so everybody can ping everybody? so you just want hostnames that all share? does it have to be seen on wan or just local net? | 17:29 |

| pgnome | current driver being 343.x but in software center - is 304 | 17:50 |
| reisio | pgnome: 'cause they're dated? | 17:50 |
| k1l | pgnome: the package is called nvidia-current | 17:50 |
| pgnome | reisio, what is dated? | 17:50 |
| pgnome | the write-up is a mth ago but in software center, the only package is way older | 17:51 |
| pgnome | k1l, yes...except it's nowhere near 'current' :) | 17:51 |
| reisio | pgnome: all things | 17:51 |
| sacarlson | pgnome: as soon as you write something it's already out of date | 17:51 |
| k1l | pgnome: and if you think about how release on ubuntu work, you will get to know why that is the way it is | 17:51 |
| pgnome | the package maintainers are not updating/upgrading it? | 17:51 |
| pgnome | no wonder ppl use nvidia website :-/ | 17:52 |
| k1l | pgnome: hint: we have freezes before releasing | 17:52 |
| k1l | pgnome: so you stand for shipping not tested drivers into a release. ok than go with the nvidia side and dont blame ubuntu if something breaks. | 17:52 |
| pgnome | oh, maybe it will no longer be 304.x if I upgrade to next release, too? | 17:53 |
| pgnome | k1l, okay, but 340 are tested? | 17:53 |
| pgnome | ver 340 | 17:53 |
| pgnome | but, I think maybe because my OS is using 14.04 packages | 17:53 |
| sacarlson | pgnome: my last computer had nvida and I used the binary and when it worked it works very good | 17:53 |
| k1l | pgnome: "apt-cache search nvidia" | 17:53 |
| pgnome | ok, hold on | 17:54 |
| pgnome | sacarlson, yes, it works fine | 17:54 |
| ki7mt | pgnome, If you want the bleeding edge drivers, use the xorg-edgers ppa | 17:54 |
| pgnome | sacarlson, I just don't want the dreaded black screen if I upgrade anything :) | 17:54 |
| k1l | sacarlson: and when it breaks you blame nvidia-side? or you come here and blame ubuntu? | 17:54 |
| k1l | pgnome: so dont use nvidia.side driver if you dont like black screens | 17:54 |
| sacarlson | pgnome: I do recall having problems everytime I installed a new kernel I had to reinstall nvidia drivers | 17:55 |
| sacarlson | pgnome: maybe they fixed that | 17:55 |
| pgnome | k1l, 343.22 is listed | 17:55 |
| pgnome | sacarlson, I believe that is still necessary if you use the nvidia 'way' to install nvidia drivers - i.e. .run script etc. | 17:56 |
| sacarlson | pgnome: ya that was the best latest stuf that worked best for me at the time | 17:56 |
| pgnome | sometimes I make a mistake though... :) when doing it that way :) | 17:56 |
| pgnome | k1l, well, what is the option? nouveau or buy new amd card? :) | 17:58 |

| sacarlson | dreamcat4: but I guess they don't serve the same purpose as we don't run the chrooted files just package them. your jail I guess you run them in it? | 18:18 |
| cryptic0 | genii: thanks | 18:18 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: i think there are some linux software projects that can manage and create chroot jails for you | 18:18 |
| givello | Any tips on how to fix a "screen not found" error with an nvidia gtx770? | 18:19 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: but i've been using freebsd jails up until now (with qjail on freebsd) | 18:19 |
| givello | Or at least where to look | 18:19 |
| sacarlson | dreamcat4: sure with a working script you should be able to chroot to another of your grub boots | 18:19 |
| cryptic0 | genii: that did it, thank you. | 18:20 |
| sacarlson | dreamcat4: but these jails they are not full systems just minimal libs for what you want to run in it? | 18:20 |
| sjmikem | why doesn't my iterm come to the foreground when I alt-tab to it? | 18:20 |
| genii | cryptic0: You're welcome | 18:21 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: the way qjail (or 'qchroot') and ez-jail work on freebsd is there is a shared read-only folder containing the base system | 18:21 |
| sjmikem | s/iterm/terminal | 18:22 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: and that is mount --bind into every jail. then symlinks to re-create the basic unix / folder structure | 18:22 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: like for /usr/lib etc. then anything that isn't in those folders is rear-write inside the jail (your own programs) | 18:22 |
| kris__ | hi there..is this place to solve only ubuntu problems? | 18:23 |
| k1l | kris__: yes | 18:23 |
| sjmikem | If I alt-tab to the Terminal app, then opt-tab to the window, that works | 18:23 |
| kris__ | cool.. | 18:24 |
| ErwinRoos | anyone know how to figure out which 3rd party programs might be problematic for the distro upgrade ?? | 18:24 |
| sacarlson | dreamcat4: that sounds cool and useful for someone without sudo privs could do most anything in his space | 18:24 |
| xangua | ErwinRoos: basically any 3rd party program/repository might be | 18:24 |
| kris__ | Erwinroos, everything is available from the repository right..any special significance for third party ? | 18:24 |
| ki7mt | scampbell, that's what dchroot is designed to do, non-root usage. | 18:24 |
| branko_ | hi all | 18:25 |
| === branko_ is now known as Guest50027 | ||
| ki7mt | sacarlson, not scampbell .. lol .. sri | 18:25 |
| dreamcat4 | sacarlson: yes indeed. there's no reason why it can't be done on linux either (except with the 'chroot' cmd rather than the 'jail' cmd) | 18:25 |
| ErwinRoos | @Xanngua and Kris__ standard error can't calculate blah blah | 18:25 |
| sjmikem | is it a gnome-terminal bug or a problem with unity settings somewhere? | 18:25 |
| k1l | ErwinRoos: please pastebin the whole error | 18:26 |
| dreamcat4 | perhaps someone did it already on linux too. just not yet familiar / aware of all the various linux jails software | 18:26 |
| === dfgas is now known as dfgas_off | ||
| kris__ | @Erwinroos, agree with K1l, please paste the error here | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | This can be caused by: | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu | 18:28 |
| daftykins | ErwinRoos: for upgrades you need to remove all PPAs | 18:28 |
| ErwinRoos | How do I do that Daftykins ? | 18:28 |
| k1l | ErwinRoos: next time please use paste.ubuntu.com. can you please show the output of "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" | 18:29 |
| daftykins | ErwinRoos: first off identify which ones you're running, then follow k1l 'cause he's beaten me to it \o/ | 18:29 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, look at y-ppa-manager, but you'll need to remove that before upgrading also. Linky: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/y-ppa-manager | 18:30 |

| daftykins | ki7mt: i greatly appreciate the irony in suggesting adding a PPA to install a program to manage PPAs to remove prior to an upgrade though. Chickens and eggs come to mind :) | 18:32 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, Indeed .. but it's much easier than chasing them all down .. if you only have one or two, not a big deal. | 18:33 |
| sjmikem | anyone have ideas on my alt-tab problem? | 18:33 |
| sacarlson | ki7mt: looks like schroot is a super set of dchroot, dreamcat4 I would have to read more about it, it looks cool but I don't really have a real use for it that i can think of | 18:33 |
| ki7mt | sacarlson, I use it to share /home dirs between the two. | 18:34 |

| ki7mt | daftykins, Hmm .. thought I did, fare enough. | 18:36 |
| SpareMeBS | #freebsd | 18:36 |
| sacarlson | ki7mt: ya I guess it might be good to test something in a pristeen freesh install that you could just snap to | 18:36 |
| ki7mt | sacarlson, You have to when you build packages,. | 18:37 |
| sacarlson | ki7mt: I was using virtualbox for my package test | 18:37 |
| ki7mt | sacarlson, i use pbuilder or cowbuilder most often, but like the schroot to test postinst / postrm scripts. | 18:38 |
| squinty | fwiw, there was no need to disable ppa's on the one box I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 as the updater stated it was going to automatically disable them before starting the upgrade (via the gui upgrader) | 18:38 |

| hulio | can surface pro installed on ubuntu? please advise | 18:49 |
| potterapple | What could be the problem? | 18:49 |
| jParkton | didnt Ubuntu drop nvidia drivers from the last release? | 18:49 |
| k1l | hulio: first check if the bootloader allows that at all. | 18:50 |
| jParkton | er nvidia dropped linux support or some thing | 18:50 |

| jParkton | Torvalds recently spoke out on it | 18:51 |
| jParkton | let me try to find it | 18:51 |
| ki7mt | ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa ... have a read on Launchpad | 18:51 |
| EriC^^ | potterapple: maybe it was performing a chkdsk or something? | 18:51 |
| sjmikem | trijntje - hi :-) Any idea what alt-tab to gnome-terminal window would not bring it to foreground? | 18:51 |

| ki7mt | And here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/08/nvidia-driver-340-32-fixed-bugs/ | 18:52 |
| jParkton | any reason why people would continue to use that dumb perl switch to correct typos? | 18:52 |
| hulio | does assphalt game have for unbuntu? | 18:52 |
| givello | I'd paste the error I get to you guys when using startx, but the thing is I'm in a tty right now | 18:52 |
| potterapple | EriC^^ but on every boot? Also sometimes i get this wierd screen when i select windows 8.1 ill show it yo you hold on | 18:52 |
| givello | and I forgot the name of that one pipe-able paste service | 18:53 |
| jParkton | givello: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:53 |

| jParkton | then pastebinit cat /var/logs or whatever | 18:53 |
| givello | jParkton: perfect, thanks | 18:53 |
| sjmikem | jParkton do you have a better syntax to use? and I thought it was sed long before it was perl... | 18:53 |

| yourname1 | hello | 18:55 |
| ki7mt | AlexPortable, whatever the fix, make sure you post your issues on the bug, so they know it's either back or wasn't really fixed to begin with. | 18:55 |
| givello | And here is my auto-generated xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/8708125 | 18:56 |
| jParkton | k1l: ty I will | 18:56 |
| AlexPortable | ki7mt: it's not fixed. it even shows in the bug report | 18:56 |
| jParkton | givello: and this happens on boot? | 18:56 |
| bazhang | sjmikem, are you on gnome-shell or something else | 18:56 |
| ki7mt | AlexPortable, fare enough, I didn't study the bug, didn't even look at it actually. | 18:56 |
| givello | jParkton: nope, on boot I blink back to the terminal after a loading screen. | 18:56 |
| givello | jParkton: this happens when trying to startx | 18:56 |
| sjmikem | bazhang: not sure what gnome-shell is... I have a gnome-terminal window running, but when I try to alt-tab to it, it does not come to the foreground | 18:57 |
| jParkton | givello: did you recently autoremove some things? | 18:57 |
| givello | jParkton: I have yes | 18:57 |
| lickalott | is there a way to upload a file to something like dropbox via command line on ubuntu server? | 18:57 |
| k1l | givello: any reason you dont use lightdm but startx? | 18:57 |
| bazhang | sjmikem, the other shell being Unity | 18:57 |
| jParkton | hrmm | 18:57 |
| sjmikem | bazhang: oh, running Unity | 18:57 |
| potterapple | Ill be rigjt back | 18:57 |
| jParkton | try to apt-get install -f see if you get anything | 18:57 |
| givello | k1l: I'm just trying to start X from the terminal, didn't know lightdm was where it was at | 18:57 |
| givello | jParkton: let me try that | 18:58 |
| hulio | jParkton, i love Ubuntu man | 18:58 |
| k1l | givello: yes, on ubuntu you start it with "sudo lightdm start" | 18:58 |
| hulio | jParkton, with Samsung Evo 840 and fast shlt | 18:58 |
| potterapple | I'm back | 18:58 |
| bazhang | sjmikem, ok. gnome-shell has a number of alt-tab replacement extensions if you cannot get it going with unity. the nicest being a coverflow effect at the gnome extensions website | 18:58 |
| potterapple | EriC^^ I'll send the pic | 18:58 |
| givello | jParkton: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8708160 | 18:58 |
| jParkton | opinions vary on Ubuntu lol | 18:58 |
| givello | k1l: let me try that, though I doubt if X can't start on it's own it'll start with lightdm | 18:59 |
| jParkton | givello: that is some odd stuff | 18:59 |
| jParkton | look in /var/logs see if you can find what fails | 18:59 |
| k1l | givello: no. lightdm will handle all that xserver starting stuff for you | 18:59 |
| sjmikem | bazhang: what's involved in switching from unity to gnome-shell to try it out? | 18:59 |
| ki7mt | no much, just install gnome-desktop | 19:00 |
| bazhang | sjmikem, apt-get gnome-shell and then choose at login | 19:00 |
| k1l | givello: what desktop do you want to start? what ubuntu is that? | 19:00 |
| sjmikem | bazhang: i'll try that out, thanks! | 19:00 |
| givello | jParkton: wait, forgot the 2>&1 or whatever the syntax is, so you might not have gotten all the errors | 19:01 |
| bazhang | sjmikem, once logged into it, you need to go to the gnome live extensions site and install some | 19:01 |
| givello | k1l: it's ubuntu with gnome3 installed, I was using gdm I believe | 19:02 |
| givello | k1l: and sudo gdm fails to do anything whatsoever | 19:02 |
| k1l | givello: so start the gdm | 19:02 |
| potterapple4269 | Ugh i cant upload the pic | 19:02 |
| k1l | givello: so show the errors | 19:02 |
| k1l | potterapple4269: use imgur.com | 19:02 |
| givello | Anyone remembers the exact syntax to redirect errors to stdout? 2>&1 or 2&>1 or something like that? | 19:03 |
| givello | k1l: well, for sudo gdm it'll be quick, it just hangs | 19:03 |
| givello | k1l: I have to kill it | 19:03 |
| potterapple4269 | K1l i did im on my phone so its not working properly windows will take ages to boot up | 19:03 |
| k1l | givello: try "sudo service gdm start" | 19:04 |

| ki7mt | givello, you have it right 2>&1 more info : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html | 19:04 |
| givello | k1l: it was already running, and adding restart, well, restarted it, blinking me back to the terminal after a wee while | 19:05 |
| potterapple4269 | So does anyone know why windiws could take 7-10 mins for booting up? Earlier it took about max 1 min | 19:05 |
| givello | jParkton: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8708227 | 19:05 |

| AlexQ | Hi guys! Just can't find that in Google: I need to compress one large file, chosen gzip, might use bzip2 if necessary. I would like to compress that file into a single, multi-file archive. How to do it? | 19:08 |
| k1l | givello: so please draw the whole picture: what ubuntu is that? what did you do before the problems came up? what is the error messages? etc. | 19:09 |
| ki7mt | Whats more concerning is the mpdprobe.d directory errors, what did you do before the DM started failing givello | 19:09 |
| potterapple4269 | ErixC^^ i created a 200Gb partition (had to use fixparts) and then i used 100 gn of it for ubuntu but windows is installed in a whole different partiton | 19:09 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: tar czvf <filename.tar.gz> /path/to/files | 19:09 |
| givello | k1l: okay, let's start over: I don't remember what I did before it happened, since it revealed itself at boot tonight, and the last time I used my computer was the day before | 19:09 |
| givello | It's ubuntu 14.04.1 | 19:10 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: And where do I choose how large is one piece? I have only one file to compress | 19:10 |
| givello | The problem manifest itself in that when booting, after the ubuntu loading screen, I get thrown in a terminal, with nothing in ctrl+alt+F7 | 19:10 |
| givello | or any of the other Fs | 19:10 |
| k1l | givello: can you show a "dmesg" output? | 19:11 |
| givello | I don't get any error per se, but when I try to run startx I get the error pasted above | 19:11 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: If it is not possible, I could use a pipe with a program that would save into a new file every e.g. 512MiB | 19:11 |
| givello | k1l: good call, let me fetch that | 19:11 |
| ki7mt | givello, Well it appearts, thatn neither of you display managers are functional .. maybe not the absolute fix, but maybe reinstalling one fo them or another DE would get you to a point where you can investigate further. | 19:11 |

| k1l | givello: forget about startx. gdm in your case it the way to start a xserver. startx will ruin permissions | 19:11 |
| givello | ki7mt: let me try to reinstall gdm | 19:12 |
| potterapple4269 | EriC^^ if i enable fastboot would that help? | 19:12 |
| EriC^^ | potterapple4269: i don't think it's the problem, no | 19:12 |
| givello | for starters I just dpkg-reconfigured gdm | 19:12 |
| givello | doesn't work | 19:13 |
| givello | I'll try to reboot | 19:13 |
| givello | see you in a few | 19:13 |
| potterapple4269 | EriC^^ okay! Thats a lead. So anything else i can try? | 19:13 |
| OnionGirl | hello everyone | 19:13 |
| k1l | givello: dou you have a nvidia hybrid card setup and removed the drivers at any chance? | 19:13 |
| OnionGirl | Can someone please help me. I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago and I've been having audio problems. For some reason the audo is really choppy and skippy. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? | 19:14 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: You sure you got my question correctly? I want to compress one file into an archive that would be split into chunks | 19:14 |
| ki7mt | he needs to reconfig gdm, stop lightdm, then start gdm, but he's gone now. | 19:14 |
| givello | So, it didn't work. | 19:14 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: yeah, hold on | 19:14 |
| k1l | <k1l> givello: dou you have a nvidia hybrid card setup and removed the drivers at any chance? | 19:15 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: i can think of one way, but i'm pretty sure there's a better way | 19:15 |
| EriC^^ | 1 sec | 19:15 |
| givello | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8708312/ here is my 200 last line of syslog | 19:16 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Yeah, it would be good to be able to decompress these files without the need of joining the archive back first | 19:16 |
| givello | k1l: nope, plain old gtx 770 | 19:16 |
| givello | well, not that old. | 19:16 |
| givello | Oh, wait, I might have a video chipset on that motherboard | 19:17 |
| givello | let me check if I've an output there | 19:17 |
| EriC^^ | potterapple4269: does windows have a log file for starts? | 19:17 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: I think that would work, but with gzip instead, as I don't need to tar anything: tar czpvf - /path/to/archive | split -d -b 100M - tardisk. | 19:17 |
| potterapple4269 | No idea sorry i can check though | 19:17 |
| givello | There is a video output on the motherboard so I can only assume there's an internal chipset | 19:17 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: And decompress just by piping too: cat tardisk* | tar xzpvf - | 19:17 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Is it good? | 19:17 |
| givello | would that count as hybrid? | 19:17 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: All replaced with appriopriate gzip/gunzip commands ofc | 19:18 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: i guess so | 19:18 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Wonderful. Actually, I wanted to archive my Windows recovery partition and upload it into cloud, so that's why I want to split it - to make uploading easier | 19:19 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: ah i see | 19:19 |
| tgm4883 | givello: I believe hybrid would be having both intel and amd/nvidia on the motherboard. This would be different than having a dedicated graphics card in a slot (do you have a dedicated graphics card also)? | 19:20 |
| potterapple4269 | EriC^^ yeah there is a way to generate bootlogs but i can do that now only tomorrow | 19:20 |
| givello | tgm4883: I do | 19:20 |
| potterapple4269 | Also guys do you know of any irc for windows? | 19:20 |
| EriC^^ | potterapple4269: ##windows i think | 19:21 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: I believe there is some software for it too, (partimage or sth), and it can split obviously, but... I don't have such control over compression as by doing it manually, and my only point is to get rid of empty space on the disk, which should be mostly 0s (this is not a active partition, unless Windows uses the rest of space for installation) | 19:21 |
| potterapple4269 | EriC^^ thanks I'll ask there | 19:21 |
| k1l | givello: well, i think its a video driver issue | 19:21 |
| EriC^^ | np | 19:21 |
| MartinMaritim | hey | 19:22 |
| givello | k1l: sure looks like it. I tried installing the "current" version of the nvidia drier | 19:22 |
| givello | k1l: didn't change anything | 19:22 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: I don't think partimage or whatever is clever enough to read what space is empty from the filesystem and ommit it in the backup? | 19:22 |
| givello | k1l: I tried generating a xorg.conf file using xorg -conf I believe | 19:22 |
| MartinMaritim | i've just put a font into /usr/share/fonts/truetype and refreshed cache, but its not available in Libreoffice. | 19:22 |
| tgm4883 | givello: ok, so this is a long shot, but I had a similar issue to yours. Basically I found that my graphics were being output on the onboard VGA rather than my dedicated graphics card. I had to go into BIOS/UEFI to disable the onboard and that fixed the issue | 19:22 |
| givello | k1l: didn't work either | 19:22 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: could have an option | 19:22 |
| givello | tgm4883: oh, I see. I'll try to do that. maybe it was reset somehow? | 19:23 |
| givello | let me try that and i'll be right back :) | 19:23 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: no idea | 19:23 |
| tgm4883 | givello: not sure, but it's such an easy thing to test it's worth checking | 19:23 |
| MartinMaritim | Or: are there any packages providing fonts for ink-saving (ecological) printing? | 19:24 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Well, the size produced by bzip2 -9 was only a bit smaller than empty space on that disk, and the disk contains mostly software and other files, which are already compressed I presume; I guess that's the reason of poor compression ratio rather than compressing and storing empty space with some random file chunks | 19:24 |
| MartinMaritim | What I did is: http://superuser.com/questions/345599/how-to-install-ecofont-on-various-operating-systems | 19:24 |
| MartinMaritim | fc-list is listing the font: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/ecofont_vera_sans_regular.ttf: Ecofont Vera Sans:style=Regular | 19:26 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: yeah | 19:26 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Thanks for evaluating that approach then! Trying | 19:26 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Curious what gzip2 -1 will produce, how large files. | 19:26 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: i think 7z has the best compression ratio | 19:30 |
| === kasperti_ is now known as kaspertidemann | ||
| EriC^^ | maybe it also has some kind of inherent split archiving too | 19:31 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Yeah, but I want it to be quick to start uploading today... Just curious if it is empty space, or not. | 19:31 |
| EriC^^ | oh ok | 19:31 |
| potterapple4269 | EriC^^ so i installed utorrents file for ubuntu its tar.gz i read that i need to use terminal to install it | 19:31 |

| genii | EriC^^: utorrent is a web-based client, bittorrent is not | 19:34 |
| potterapple4269 | Any way how does one install a .tar.gz? | 19:34 |
| bekks | potterapple4269: You unpack that archive, and you have to read the installation instructions included. | 19:35 |
| potterapple4269 | Oh okay | 19:35 |

| NeedHelp | Hi all! Me again... I've faced another problem while trying to recover my GRUB after installing Windows 10. | 19:39 |
| NeedHelp | I've made my USB bootable with Ubuntu, whenever I try to run my USB, it says that no operating system was found. | 19:39 |
| bekks | NeedHelp: How did you make it "bootable"? | 19:40 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: how did you make your usb? | 19:40 |
| NeedHelp | unetbootin | 19:40 |
| NeedHelp | with an .ISO file of course | 19:40 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: did you select it in the bios? | 19:40 |
| NeedHelp | yes. | 19:40 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: is it a good .iso? used before? checksummed if new? | 19:41 |
| NeedHelp | It seriously won't start up, I tried even Linux Mint and Ubuntu for now. Both didn't work. | 19:41 |
| bekks | NeedHelp: Which iso file? | 19:41 |
| NeedHelp | 64bit ubuntu | 19:41 |
| bekks | NeedHelp: Did you check the checksums? | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: is secure boot enabled? | 19:41 |
| NeedHelp | no | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | no about the checksums or secure boot? | 19:42 |
| === snuffeluffegus is now known as gurpgork | ||
| potterapple4269 | Try recreating it? | 19:42 |
| NeedHelp | But CSM is enabled, without it it only keeps loading to BIOS, kinda in a loop. | 19:42 |
| NeedHelp | I've no idea about this checksums you talking about, what is it? | 19:42 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: if linux mint and ubuntu both didn't work | 19:43 |
| EriC^^ | maybe your usb is bad | 19:43 |
| EriC^^ | or some setting in the bios is wrong | 19:43 |
| NeedHelp | I'm sure it's not my USB. | 19:44 |
| onlaz | if I remove some apps from that unity menu, like libreoffice. Where can I find it by browsing, if I forget its name and cant use the search function? | 19:44 |
| NeedHelp | I've made Windows 10 and other Linux distro's before bootable. | 19:44 |
| sacarlson | NeedHelp: md5sum checksum will verify that the iso file you put into the usb is correct | 19:44 |
| k1l | onlaz: super+a | 19:44 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: in the dash you can select the applcations at the bottom and get a full list | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | NeedHelp: Why wouldn't you be able to use the search function? | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | onlaz: ^^ | 19:44 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: nice | 19:44 |
| k1l | onlaz: or type keywords like cd for a burning program | 19:45 |
| sacarlson | NeedHelp: also I have had some bad usb flash drives before. you might try another one or test it if it's the only one you have | 19:45 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: how are you selecting CSM with win10? | 19:45 |
| NeedHelp | It's a real weird problem. With CSM disabled it keeps looping into BIOS, without it it just goes only to Windows 10. | 19:45 |
| onlaz | EriC^^: in the dash? you mean the leftside menu? I have trash at the bottom | 19:45 |
| NeedHelp | Unfortunately it's my onlu USB, but i'm almost sure it's not my USB. | 19:46 |
| NeedHelp | only* | 19:46 |
| k1l | onlaz: use the apps-dash and on the right you can choose sections like multimedia, system,.. | 19:46 |
| NeedHelp | @Eric, I'm able to go to BIOS, from there I can enable/disable CSM. | 19:46 |
| k1l | onlaz: but its really easier with the dash | 19:46 |
| onlaz | k1l: that super-a seems to be what I want thanks | 19:46 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: press super+a (windows key + a) , or press the first icon at the top to open the dash, then press the applcations icon at the bottom (2nd one) | 19:46 |
| Jordan_U | NeedHelp: How did you prepare the USB for booting? You probably shouldn't have CSM enabled, as both Windows and Ubuntu will probably work better (and step on each other less) when configured for, and booting with, UEFI. | 19:47 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: yeah, what Jordan_U said | 19:47 |
| NeedHelp | @Jordan_U without CSM enabled, my laptop keeps in a loop to BIOS. | 19:47 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: shouldn't it just boot windows? | 19:48 |
| EriC^^ | win10 is uefi right? | 19:48 |
| NeedHelp | I don't know, it boots only the BIOS with CSM disabled. | 19:48 |
| * EriC^^ feels a doh. moment dawning | 19:48 | |
| Jordan_U | NeedHelp: What do you mean by "boots only the BIOS"? What do you actually see when you try to boot with CSM disabled? | 19:49 |
| NeedHelp | Whenever the I start the laptop it immediately goes to BIOS. | 19:49 |
| OerHeks | secure boot? | 19:49 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: you said it was booting windows before | 19:50 |
| NeedHelp | When CSM is enabled, yes. | 19:50 |
| EriC^^ | NeedHelp: you mean if you have the usb selected as the boot device? | 19:50 |
| EriC^^ | csm means legacy right? | 19:50 |
| NeedHelp | Compatibility Support Module (CSM) | 19:50 |
| onlaz | is it possible to have the classic taskbar behaviour and the toolbar of the windows above the actual windows while having the super button quick search thing menu? | 19:51 |
| NeedHelp | When CSM is enabled and I choose the boot option USB, I get an error that no Operating System is found. | 19:51 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: toolbar above the windows, settings > appearance > behavior > show menus | 19:51 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: classic taskbar behavior, not sure what you mean | 19:52 |
| NeedHelp | I'm sure the USB is bootable, it's my laptops problem not mine USB. | 19:52 |
| Jordan_U | NeedHelp: What do you mean by "boots only the BIOS"? What do you actually see when you try to boot with CSM disabled? | 19:52 |
| NeedHelp | Just BIOS. | 19:52 |
| NeedHelp | @Jordan. | 19:52 |
| NeedHelp | Save and quit will let me again go to BIOS. | 19:52 |
| onlaz | I don\t know where to go to settings > appearance > behaviour so I went to super and typed appearance, icon appeared, I clicked it but nothing happened | 19:53 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: click the top right corner and select settings | 19:54 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: what did you mean by classic taskbar behavior? | 19:54 |
| NeedHelp | BTW, Windows 10 is a little better then Win 8 if you were questioning yourself. ;-) | 19:55 |
| onlaz | alrighty.. well I just meant the taskbar thing where the running apps are shown on top or bottom bar instead of left bar with showing also those that are not running | 19:56 |
| onlaz | classic menu shows only running, this shows all | 19:56 |
| onlaz | but I guess I could get used to this too by removing the useless ones | 19:56 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: yeah, you can remove what you want, it'd still show whatever you run | 19:57 |
| NeedHelp | Someone want to help me in DM? It will be easier that way. | 19:57 |
| EriC^^ | onlaz: to place it on the bottom, you can use cairodock | 19:57 |
| EriC^^ | !info cairodock | 19:57 |

| Jordan_U | NeedHelp: This is an important question, please answer it. *What do you see?* | 19:57 |
| NeedHelp | I think I already answered it @Jordan. I see the BIOS. It simply directly boots to my BIOS. I'm not able to press any other keys. | 19:58 |

| Bubo_ | EriC^^, yea we did. Can you explain what we did? I need to fix my Arch boot too | 20:08 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo_: ok | 20:08 |
| onlaz | oh.. I thought windows installations up from 7 or 8 at least have managed to leave grub alone, or just add their own entry there. So installing that windows 10 will mess up the bootloaders? | 20:09 |
| onlaz | or such | 20:09 |
| Bubo_ | onlaz, every windows installation messes up boot | 20:09 |
| NeedHelp | I thought the same @Bubo. | 20:09 |
| EriC^^ | Bubo_: the bios looks bootmgfw.efi in the efi partition, and we replaced that file with grub's .efi file and called it bootmgfw.efi so that bios loads it instead of the microsoft boot manager | 20:09 |

| k1l | adac: there will not be any version number updates but patches. but best is to make a bug report to make the maintainer of that package be aware of the issues | 20:17 |
| bazhang | Linnak, conky | 20:18 |
| dfdf | bazhang, ok i'll try it now :P | 20:18 |

| kahtahs_ | david38400: don't see how that problem wouldn't emerge there, too | 21:22 |
| === mary is now known as Guest43807 | ||
| kahtahs_ | david38400: there was a transitional ffmpeg package for years which said to switch to libav. if you ignored it.. | 21:23 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, It just seemed so much easier with Mint. All of a sudden nothing works properly, not even my bluetooth | 21:23 |
| SigMa__ | brainwash: if your still there, i have made some progress. it appears that mountkernfs is failing somewhere | 21:23 |
| k1l | david38400: that actually depends on what you did before it magically did not work anymore | 21:23 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, Ok, glad you got it sorted. | 21:23 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, If I type in libav in software it sends me to winFF which is installed alaready | 21:24 |
| brainwash | SigMa__: did you try to enable or start the service manually? | 21:24 |
| david38400 | Thanks guys I will just have to give up sorry. Nobody yet has been able to help me get my bluetooth working as an example. Its very disappointing for me to say that | 21:24 |
| kahtahs_ | david38400: type libav-tools | 21:25 |
| SigMa__ | it appears to be a signal emit that happens on boot so that brltty can start. | 21:25 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, I have installed it. What do I do now? | 21:26 |
| david38400 | k1l, Honestly cant say I did anything to have all these bugs | 21:27 |
| kahtahs_ | david38400: did you uninstall ffmpeg? | 21:27 |
| isomorphismes | Does unity do anything besides GUI? | 21:27 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: like what? | 21:27 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, no, but will do | 21:27 |
| isomorphismes | I found it's installed on my EC2 server, and thinking I could probably remove it (to open up space). | 21:28 |
| isomorphismes | reisio: Basically I just mean — this is a terminal-only environment, can I apt-get remove unity ? | 21:28 |
| SigMa__ | brainwash: i tried to start brltty without it, and it seemed to work, but sudo apt-get install -f gave the same error as before | 21:28 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: yeah if you want | 21:28 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, you see what I mean, I go to remove and it tells me I must remove libav-tools? Its ridiculous | 21:28 |
| isomorphismes | thanks reisio | 21:28 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: ubuntu-desktop is the whole thing | 21:28 |
| isomorphismes | reisio: oh great. and I guess compiz too? | 21:29 |
| reisio | libav is an alternative to ffmpeg | 21:29 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: I would think so, yes | 21:29 |
| isomorphismes | I was just owrried it might have like gvfs in it or something | 21:29 |
| kahtahs_ | david38400: just do it and reinstall again | 21:29 |
| isomorphismes | or some other kinds of common files | 21:29 |
| kosmas | ubottu: Thanks but I have got Intel Graphics card and I have already tried the grub options. is there any specific that I should give a go? | 21:29 |
| ubottu | kosmas: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:29 |
| brainwash | SigMa__: did you already try to reinstall brltty? | 21:29 |
| genii | isomorphismes: If you install things that for some reason want to also xserver stuff, xvfb is good to have on server machines | 21:30 |
| SigMa__ | brainwash: yep, and the same error as before again | 21:30 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: it shouldn't | 21:30 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, thats what I have done, its now installed | 21:30 |
| kosmas | ubbotu: just run out of ideas.. any help please leave a comments on the thread.. Thanks! | 21:31 |
| kahtahs_ | david38400: not sure what you expect when using unsupported packages and not like any debian based distro will not have the same problem | 21:31 |
| reisio | isomorphismes: might want aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop instead | 21:31 |
| brainwash | SigMa__: try to reinstall "mountall" which provides mountkernfs | 21:31 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, I didnt know I was using unsupported packages. I was always used to using debian packages. | 21:31 |
| SigMa__ | brainwash: will do | 21:31 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, I always use the Ubuntu software or terminal | 21:32 |
| kahtahs_ | david38400: there was a transitional ffmpeg package which should have guided you to libav in the past | 21:32 |
| SigMa__ | brainwash: got an error off of than. ill thow up another pastebin | 21:33 |
| brainwash | SigMa__: then try to manually start the mountkernfs service, "sudo service mountkernfs start" or "sudo start mountkernfs" | 21:33 |
| david38400 | kahtahs_, Thanks a lot for all your assistance. I will just have to put my desktop in the computer shop and ask them to reload as I cant get my bios to do it for me. | 21:33 |

| SigMa__ | brainwash: says the job is already running | 21:36 |
| kahtahs_ | bazhang: handbrake and avconv/ffmpeg aren't really interchangeable. but at least handbrake depends should have forced update to libav not like winff | 21:36 |
| reisio | they are to a certain extent | 21:37 |
| bazhang | kahtahs_, sure they are. I've used them that way for ages. | 21:37 |

| AlexPortable | .deb or ppa? | 22:51 |
| AlexPortable | what's a better solution? | 22:51 |
| squinty | one that suits *your* needs of course | 22:52 |
| rww | neither is supported, so *shrug* | 22:52 |
| AlexPortable | No I mean | 22:52 |
| AlexPortable | .deb also gets updates? | 22:52 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: .deb is a one time install. you need to take care of that. PPA means you can get updates if the maintainer takes care of that. but he could push any software he wants on to your system | 22:52 |
| AlexPortable | or only ppa? | 22:52 |
| AlexPortable | what do you mean push any software he wants? | 22:53 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: since you triggered the bots messages already its not the time to read them and the links they provided :) | 22:54 |
| AlexPortable | k1l: doesn't says anything about any other software on my system | 22:55 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: you need to trust the PPA maintainer that its the program in that PPA that you actually wanted to be in there. | 22:56 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: we cant guarantee that and will not support that in here. so its your choice. | 22:56 |
| AlexPortable | so .deb is safer? | 22:56 |
| chick_ | Hi I have been using ubuntu 14 for a month now and suddenly my login password seems not working I cant login unless as a guest cos it keeps asking me to login | 22:57 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: well. .deb means (in most cases) you dont get updates at all. so its your task to keep that in mind for security or bug fixes. | 22:57 |
| chick_ | what can I do to recover my account? | 22:58 |
| daftykins | chick_: forgive the idea, but it's nothing as simple as caps lock being on? | 22:58 |
| AlexPortable | so there is no good solution? | 22:58 |
| k1l | chick_: does it say wrong password? | 22:58 |
| AlexPortable | .deb requires manually updating every time, ppa allows the maintainer to install anything he wants, ubuntu won't update the virtualbox version for 14.04 | 22:58 |
| AlexPortable | I prefer the windows way then. | 22:59 |
| AlexPortable | Each application has it's own update mechanism | 22:59 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: there are good solutions. its only what you want to choose | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | chick_: My guess is that it's not that your password isn't working, it's that your gnome session is immediately crashing. What options do you have for sessions at the login screen? | 22:59 |
| chick_ | No it shows a dark screen and asks me to login. when i type a wrong password it shows the error wrong password | 22:59 |
| k1l | possible .Xauthority owned by root issue, due to messing with sudo | 23:00 |
| daftykins | this sounds more like a TTY than X | 23:00 |
| k1l | chick_: go to tty (ctrl+alt+f1) log into there, see if .Xautority belongs to root:root ("ls -al"), if so chown it to user:user back again, then come back to gui with ctrl+alt+f7 | 23:01 |
| chick_ | Jordan_U: im not sure i understand what you mean by options | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | chick_: It doesn't really matter since you are explicitly seeing an error that tells you your password is wrong. | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | chick_: Are you sure that you have the correct username entered/selected? | 23:05 |
| k1l | Jordan_U: i think on explicit wrong pw it says wrong pw. else black screen | 23:06 |
| chick_ | Jordan_U: this girl is sure with her passphrase | 23:06 |
| k1l | i bet its .Xauthority owned by root | 23:06 |
| chick_ | k1l: please how can I fix this | 23:07 |
| k1l | chick_: first validate like i said before | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | chick_: If it's not too much work, please grab a camera[phone] and take a picture of your login screen just before pressing the login button, and then again showing the error message. | 23:07 |
| k1l | chick_: loginto tty and see with "ls -al" if that is owned by root | 23:07 |
| k1l | l> chick_: go to tty (ctrl+alt+f1) log into there, see if .Xautority belongs to root:root ("ls -al"), if so chown it to user:user back again, then come back to gui with ctrl+alt+f7 | 23:08 |

| hulio | can someone tell me what is the issue here: install.sh: 15: install.sh: ./Unlocker.Linux64: Permission denied | 23:16 |
| hulio | i am doing this: sudo sh install.sh | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | hulio: We'll need more information. What is your end goal? | 23:17 |
| Tripel1Truth | death | 23:17 |
| hulio | i am trying to do vmware unlocker | 23:17 |
| Tripel1Truth | the end of every goal comes a life achievement. when goals are set, you put ahead your mind into the future. when goals are finished, you realise the success you made. | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | hulio: By "do vmware unlocker" do you mean install a piece of software called "vmware unlocker"? If so, what does vmware unlocker do? | 23:18 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: it removes arbitrary requirements vmware has out of the box | 23:18 |
| reisio | like not allowing you to run vmware on certain hardware, even though it runs fine on that hardware | 23:19 |
| reisio | hard coding that makes no sense, basically | 23:19 |
| reisio | if (foo) { sorry, you can't run this on foo, because: {no_reason} } | 23:19 |
| chick_ | k1l: I went to tty and .Xauthgority is owned by root I dont know what it means | 23:19 |
| l0rdn1x | lol | 23:20 |
| reisio | hulio: is Unlocker.Linux64 in the same dir? | 23:20 |
| k1l | chick_: ok, that is the cause for you not able to login. | 23:20 |
| chick_ | k1l: what next should i do? | 23:20 |
| hulio | reisio, same dir | 23:20 |
| hulio | reisio, do you have teamviewer? | 23:21 |
| reisio | hulio: you might just 'sudo su', and then try it | 23:21 |
| k1l | chick_: go to tty again and login to that user. then do "sudo chown user:user .Xauthority" replace "user" with the username you logged in | 23:21 |
| reisio | hulio: mmm, it'd be a pain for me to use it ATM | 23:21 |
| hulio | reisio, i did that also, got same issue | 23:21 |
| reisio | wouldn't help anyways | 23:21 |
| k1l | chick_: after that press ctrl+alt+f7 and try to login | 23:21 |
| reisio | hulio: chmod +x Unlocker.Linux64 ? | 23:22 |
| hulio | let me try | 23:23 |
| === giovanni is now known as Guest48789 | ||
| Jordan_U | reisio: hulio: Running "sudo su" first shouldn't help at all, and is certainly the wrong solution. | 23:23 |
| jcstarken | Hello all just a quick question how to clear up video play back in firefox and chrome 14.04 lts | 23:24 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: we past shouldn't a while back | 23:24 |
| reisio | jcstarken: is it cloudy? | 23:24 |
| jcstarken | reisio: yes | 23:24 |
| hulio | reisio, great | 23:24 |
| hulio | chmod +x works | 23:24 |
| hulio | reisio, thanks mucho my dear friend | 23:25 |
| reisio | jcstarken: what does that mean? | 23:25 |
| reisio | hulio: coo | 23:25 |
| hulio | is there a way not to have path: keep on adding directory? | 23:25 |
| jcstarken | reisio: not clear cloudy fuzzy blurry | 23:26 |
| hulio | when i have deep directories.. my path is full on the screen.. it's annoying | 23:26 |
| Rastart | oh please help me. | 23:26 |
| hulio | in ubuntu can it be always say > no matter what folder you're in? | 23:26 |
| leonic12 | ohow can i changue a read only file system ? | 23:26 |
| Rastart | i made a mistake while formatting,I interrupted the process suddenly. | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | hulio: PS1='> ' #Though I highly recommend against that particular choice of prompt | 23:27 |
| Rastart | now I can't format it no more but luckily it recognizes the device. | 23:27 |
| Rastart | it started to make weird sounds. | 23:27 |
| think | Rastart: like a clicking sound? | 23:28 |
| Rastart | I don't want to put my hard-disk in the trash | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | hulio: Since '> ' is generally the secondary prompt, $PS2, I would highly recommend against setting $PS1 to '> '. Setting PS1 to '$ ' would make a lot of sense though. | 23:28 |
| Rastart | yeah like a click but sometimes it makes a really soft bip. | 23:28 |
| Rastart | beep. | 23:28 |
| Rastart | ^^ | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | hulio: PS1='$ ' # Will give you a nice, non-problematic static prompt see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt for more information | 23:28 |
| reisio | jcstarken: blurry?... | 23:29 |
| jcstarken | reisio: not clear I do not know how else to explain | 23:29 |
| Rastart | its like click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click beep click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click beep click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click | 23:29 |
| Rastart | click click click click click click beep etc. | 23:29 |
| think | Rastart is that coming directly from the hdd? | 23:30 |
| Rastart | not regular. | 23:30 |
| reisio | jcstarken: how about a screenshot | 23:30 |
| hulio | reisio, thanks man, i got vmware working fine :) | 23:30 |
| Rastart | think, yeah directly from the hdd | 23:30 |
| reisio | hulio: yayzville | 23:30 |
| reisio | I still need to play with vmware unlocker | 23:31 |
| reisio | stupid vmware | 23:31 |
| hulio | reisio, btw, the most useful app for me in ubuntu is Nero 4. it's the best burner software | 23:31 |
| SimonKing | haha | 23:31 |
| reisio | hulio: nah, cdrkit/growisofs is | 23:31 |
| think | Rastart: :( sounnds like the click of eath | 23:31 |
| think | death* | 23:31 |
| Rastart | I think is not because...let me explain what I've done. | 23:32 |
| Rastart | I deleted partition and started the format process. | 23:33 |
| reisio | clicks are nothing to fear, as you have a backup already, right? :p | 23:33 |
| reisio | but they are an annoying sound | 23:33 |
| Rastart | i chosen the wrong one the faster safe one. i prefered to make the longer one | 23:33 |
| Rastart | i stopped it in seconds. | 23:33 |
| Rastart | it still recognize the hard disk | 23:34 |
| daftykins | what format command? | 23:34 |
| Rastart | now it does click beep click beep click beep | 23:34 |
| Rastart | it changed | 23:34 |
| daftykins | and these sounds survive a power cycle? | 23:35 |
| Rastart | is there some program that can recover it? | 23:35 |
| Rastart | i don't need data. | 23:35 |
| Rastart | I only need to repair partition. | 23:35 |
| daftykins | Rastart: can you respond please? | 23:36 |
| acerspyro | fglrx does not provide the library usually linked by -lGL, where would I get it? | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | Rastart: Clicking sounds, depending on exactly what they sound like, usually indicate a hardware problem. If you have a hardware problem with your hard drive, that can't be fixed by software (and wasn't caused by software either). | 23:36 |
| Rastart | oh i done by interface. | 23:36 |
| Rastart | the disk stuff | 23:36 |
| Rastart | how to view it in terminal? | 23:37 |
| daftykins | view what? | 23:37 |
| daftykins | you didn't reply to my two questions yet | 23:37 |
| jcstarken | reisio: how can I make sure that I am running best drivers for video | 23:37 |
| Rastart | daftykins I dunno what a power cycle is. | 23:38 |
| daftykins | has this disk been turned off and on again? | 23:38 |
| Rastart | i haven't done it by terminal so no command. | 23:39 |
| daftykins | i'm talking about _power_ | 23:39 |
| daftykins | is it in a laptop or desktop? has it been switched off | 23:39 |
| reisio | jcstarken: what's your graphics device? | 23:40 |
| Rastart | Jordan_U I'm pretty sure that can be fixed..I need some quick help with terminal please. | 23:40 |
| Rastart | how to detect devices connected in terminal? | 23:41 |
| jcstarken | reisio: AMD 7580 or something like that it is running off the processor | 23:41 |
| Rastart | hdd. | 23:41 |
| Rastart | sda,sdb etc. | 23:41 |
| === Artemis3v is now known as Artemis3 | ||
| Jordan_U | Rastart: sudo lsblk | 23:41 |
| jcstarken | reisio: it has a gig a ram dedicated to it | 23:41 |
| daftykins | Rastart: how did you format? you mentioned quick vs. slow, was this a Windows format? | 23:41 |
| reisio | jcstarken: what driver are you using | 23:41 |
| jcstarken | reisio: what ever came with the install of 14.04 lts | 23:42 |
| reisio | jcstarken: k, you might try fglrx, then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 23:43 |
| Rastart | ok it doesn't find it now. | 23:43 |
| daftykins | Rastart: you seem to be ignoring my questions. | 23:44 |
| Rastart | how to see if there is some device that is not mounted? | 23:44 |
| Rastart | yeah ntfs | 23:44 |
| Rastart | not window... | 23:45 |
| jcstarken | reisio: thank you what is fglrx | 23:45 |
| Rastart | compatible with many os. | 23:45 |
| === [m3n]NoNaM3 is now known as NoName | ||
| Rastart | yeah i made the safe method.. | 23:45 |
| reisio | jcstarken: another driver, the one from the manufacturer | 23:45 |
| daftykins | Rastart: right so what was the format tool? run "sudo fdisk -l" | 23:45 |
| jcstarken | reisio: thank you | 23:45 |
| Rastart | that is for big hdds.. | 23:45 |
| === NoName is now known as NoNaM3 | ||
| daftykins | Rastart: it doesn't make any difference | 23:46 |
| Rastart | and i though i made wrong and wanted to make the slow one... | 23:46 |
| Rastart | so i interrupted it. | 23:46 |
| daftykins | you're not making any sense and you're not answering me :) | 23:46 |
| Rastart | the format tool is the gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0-1ubuntu3 | 23:47 |
| Rastart | daftykins i'm trying to reply you sorry. | 23:48 |
| daftykins | Rastart: so since attempting this format, has the system ever been switched off? | 23:48 |
| Rastart | I already formatted with this and worked all the times..great and easy tool. | 23:49 |
| jcstarken | reisio: Sorry one more question, what do you believe would be best option for the Radeon HD 7480D in 14.04lts | 23:49 |
| daftykins | Rastart: alright so what does "sudo fdisk -l" show? | 23:49 |
| reisio | jcstarken: something that doesn't make your video 'fuzzy' | 23:49 |
| Rastart | yeah but after already interrupting the process. | 23:49 |
| Rastart | that not happened because of a system switch off...but because of a manual interruption of the process..i clicked the button to interrupt process.. | 23:50 |
| Rastart | and it did. | 23:50 |
| daftykins | i'm not saying that | 23:51 |

| daftykins | but you keep avoiding a very basic question, which is getting very frustrating | 23:51 |

| a_ | does someone knows the reason for that, i am quite confused | 23:57 |

| EriC^^ | a_: why wouldn't they be there? | 23:57 |
| Rastart | Jordan_U it doesn't work. | 23:57 |
| EriC^^ | a_: the bookmarks are saved in your home directory i think | 23:58 |
| reisio | yes, they're in ~/.mozilla/ | 23:58 |
| a_ | EriC^^, yes and thats the problem. the container should be fully seperated from the host | 23:59 |
