[00:00] i'm assuming there's a driver as that BT chipset is included in several certified laptops - potentially an rfkill issue, or something to do with the hardware switch. that'd be my guess, but it's just a guess [00:00] <[Saint_]> ditched grub2 for grub, grub2 install errors out. Reboot required, wish me luck. [00:00] the results i am seeing seem to imply you need to build the driver [00:00] Curious I am wondering what is the oldest version of linux that has a firefox browser that supports the current website technology I am using this old lucid version 10 ish and this computer is 512 MB , AMD Athlon XP 1500+ processor , with 80 GB HD [00:01] Guest28273, well you would have to look into firefox and find when they implemented html5 [00:01] lagbox, any ideas or sites that I can use as a reference? [00:01] The browser I am trying to get to work with the newest web sites the only way to do this is install a new version of ubuntu but I don''t want to install a to new version that would run to slow for this slow computer already [00:02] No , I just want to know what ubuntus repo support what firefox versions quickly without have to look it up [00:02] lonewulf i just googled "ubuntu Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth" [00:02] !info firefox [00:02] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 33.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.10.1 (utopic), package size 36030 kB, installed size 87366 kB [00:02] Guest28273: packages.ubuntu.com [00:02] Guest28273, ^ [00:02] lagbox, I did and got an ubuntu forms site http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2115570.html should that work? [00:02] Guest28273, the bottleneck is your videocard, ram and cpu, not an older firefox [00:03] Guest28273, get Xubuntu for such ancient hardware [00:03] k1l: ok now I removed everything and was able to move forward. Now im getting this (After sudo apt-get install ... apache2-prefork-dev): [00:03] The following packages have unmet dependencies: apache2-prefork-dev : Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed [00:03] idk i suppose its worth a try [00:04] kojakzito: try installing the lib manually - it could be that the 12.04 version can't be installed because it conflicts with the 13.10 software you've probably got on your system now due to your sources.list mishap [00:04] kojakzito: yeah, looks like a broken system to me. you should remember this for future reference, and install 14.04 [00:04] kojakzito: at this point, if you need this box to be reliable, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to just rebuild it [00:07] <[Saint_]> Just wanted to come back and say thank you to those who attempted to assist me through this [00:07] forget it normally I have to figure it out anyway [00:07] <[Saint_]> I have it "fixed" [00:07] <[Saint_]> Swapping out grub2 for grub "Just Worked(TM)" [00:08] yeah [00:09] ill just go ahead and reinstall the system [00:09] brb! [00:12] lol [00:12] lagbox, I tried to make the drive and still no luck [00:12] http://askubuntu.com/questions/324115/ralink-bluetooth-not-working-in-ubuntu-13-04 that is the one i was reading [00:13] i would imagine that there may be a driver already and that driver needs to be blacklisted [00:13] lagbox, I will give that a shot [00:13] but im just kinda guessing my friend [00:13] i haven't had a need for my bluetooth so i haven't tried to enable it yet [00:14] i am having problems setting up OpenVPN on my system. I have downloaded the pkg and ran command dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.0.10-Ubuntu14.i386.deb and it gives me dpkg: error processing archive openvpn-as-2.0.10-Ubuntu14.i386.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory. How do I install the package [00:14] dj: why are you using the deb [00:14] Is there any way to get the people in the #libreoffice channel to become active? They are always asleep ;) [00:15] Ben64: I downloaded it from the openvpn website. I was trying to follow their instructions [00:15] lagbox, I want to transfer files from my pc to my tablet with out the usb cable. [00:15] dj: it is in the ubuntu repositories, use that. Ubuntu Software Center or open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install openvpn" [00:15] well that is a good use for it :) [00:15] lagbox. lol yeah i thought so [00:15] actually my bluetooth used to be enabled .. atm in 14.10 it isn't even accesible [00:16] lagbox, nice [00:16] Does anyone in here know anything about working with video clips in Libreoffice Impress? [00:17] !ops | bazhang [00:17] Ben64: Thank you. I got it from the repository now, but how do I access it? i am fairly new to Linux [00:17] BlackDalek, I have not even tried but thumbs up why not use dalekcon [00:18] okie dokie then [00:18] dj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN [00:18] Ben64: Thank you for your help [00:20] I have a problem with Impress where I inserted a video clip into a slide, but then I needed to edit the video clip, and when I re-inserted the NEW video clip, the old (I assume cached) version of the clip is inserted instead. It just refuses to update to the current version of the video clip. :( [00:20] firefox build 33.0 for ubuntu 14 ish and precises 12 ish has the same version of firefox about , lucid update has say firefox 20.0 so I big leap I would say either uses 13 or 14 don't know how much performance hinderness is between 13 to 14 but not sure I even care to look it up [00:21] I am hoping someone knows how to or if it is possible to delete Libreoffice Impress' cache for video files (if such a thing exists). [00:24] Guest28273: 13.04 and 13.10 are both out of support [00:24] then I guess I should do something about my dapper mail server [00:25] <[Saint_]> Sooooo - the path back to sanity was kinda weird. [00:25] Guest28273: you should install either 12.04 or 14.04, 12.04 is supported until 2017, which hopefully you can get a better computer by then, or if not, 14.04 is supported until 2019 :D [00:26] <[Saint_]> uninstall grub; purge the excess kernels; reinstall grub; update grub; install grub2, update grub [00:26] <[Saint_]> Now to see if I can replicate that success on a real machine. [00:26] [Saint_]: got grub and grub2 installed? doesn't sound like a good idea [00:26] <[Saint_]> Ben64: no...that's impossible. [00:26] that is what you said [00:27] <[Saint_]> It is, but one should know that grub2 will remove grub. [00:27] who knows man, you could get around that [00:27] O wait firefox and html5 not even sure they implemented the complete standards for it but most of it so I guess the equation is the browser that will last the longest for new site in the future so I don't have to upgrade .... hmmm maybe just uses/try ubuntu 14 and forget everything else it is for another computer guy but he only really uses the browser sometimes so I could go with a new distro but why complicate things [00:28] <[Saint_]> You actually can't...but, whatever. [00:28] no single version of a browser will be current [00:28] they are constantly updating [00:28] Guest28273: you should really use the whole version. there is no "ubuntu 14" there is 14.04 and 14.10 [00:28] <[Saint_]> grub(2) has quite some protection from stupidity, for exactly this reason. [00:28] just re-installed the box, 12.04 LTS [00:28] <[Saint_]> Its not possible to have both installed unless you do some _extreme_ manual fuckery. [00:29] kojakzito: why not 14.04? [00:29] [Saint_]: watch the language here [00:29] well I would like an operating system of linux that supports the 99.999% of websites without having to reinstall another OS in a couple of years or do updates every 3 to 6 months [00:29] Ben64: I'm forced to use this one. [00:29] i' d choose 14.04 no questions [00:29] you can't [00:29] as websites are built using newer technologies that 99% number will become impossible [00:30] Guest28273: i've explained this already. 12.04 is supported until 2017, 14.04 until 2019. pick one [00:30] anyone use/recommend Artillery? [00:31] Plus I need new internet capablities on a limited hardware old machine so if not ubuntu what other linux one would you recommend that would run fast and not be like tinylinux or some other archic hard to uses linux for the nonlinux user... for me i don't have any problem with any version ... not for me and tell me something I don't know [00:31] <[Saint_]> With the slow and broken adoption of HTTP2 draft, it'll be impossible to obtain that 99.999% number for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time. [00:31] <[Saint_]> The Internet is always, constantly, being broken. [00:31] i would imagine there is some backporting going on in those versions [00:31] Guest28273: i'm a little lost as to why you believe an OS is holding back websites [00:31] <[Saint_]> Always has been, always will be. [00:32] jayar that would be more a backtrack or kali question [00:32] Guest28273: this is an ubuntu support channel, this is not the place to get distro recommendations [00:32] Ok for the major sites like yahoo , google , sports fantasy football ,...etc sites [00:32] hehe [00:32] google is the site that uses bleeding edge [00:32] <[Saint_]> I was just going to say. [00:32] atleast for parts of it [00:32] Guest28273: for the 42nd time, 12.04 is supported until 2017, 14.04 is supported until 2019. pick one of them, or pick another distro. stop asking the same question over and over [00:33] <[Saint_]> Google is _constantly_ failing to correctly apply SSL2/TLS [00:33] <[Saint_]> As is Mozilla, rather hilariously. [00:33] even facebook is a super heavy demand on your browser [00:33] because the OS only can have certain versions of firefox install only updates so high until it get ridiculous to install stuff plugins break and all kind of other shit that would be a waste of time for me to even try to figure out how to fix [00:33] Guest28273: for the 42nd time, 12.04 is supported until 2017, 14.04 is supported until 2019. pick one of them, or pick another distro. stop asking the same question over and over [00:33] <[Saint_]> lagbox: that's mainly because its trying to suck your history out of every other site you've got an active session cookie for. ;p [00:34] hehe [00:34] i would imagine the older versions are getting some backporting [00:34] <[Saint_]> said user seems to be missing the point of what LTS means entirely. [00:34] <[Saint_]> And/or inventing reality [00:35] If I uses 14 will it run or be to slow on an AMD Athlon XP 1500+ . memory 512 MB [00:35] Guest28273, get Xubuntu for such ancient hardware [00:35] dont use unity [00:35] and dont use a 3d desktop [00:35] <[Saint_]> Anything'll run slow on such hardware, really. [00:35] if not will 12 do anything significantly better ... I mean 10 lucid seems to be medium speed already [00:35] <[Saint_]> You'd have to have some form of VERY minimal setup for that to not run like a bag of crap. [00:35] there are ways to gain performance on older systems but that is a process [00:35] <[Saint_]> LXDE+openbox, or even perhaps solely openbox. [00:35] lots of tweaking [00:36] <[Saint_]> Even LXDE is probably too heavy for 512MB RAM [00:36] window maker :) [00:36] Well of course I will turn off monitor features to speedup things but other then that I cann\t manipulate much more even if I in large swap space it is not going to speed anything up :) [00:36] <[Saint_]> On a system with that little CPU and RAM, I wouldn't even consider trying to run a GUI. [00:36] yea you will hit a limit [00:36] will the monitor toning it down be enough [00:37] make sure it has a decent graphics card if your worried about video [00:37] that processor wont handle software decompression very well i would imagine [00:37] <[Saint_]> With an Athlon XP 1500+ and 512MB RAM, I sincerely doubt it has decent graphics capabilities. [00:37] i mean video decoding [00:37] <[Saint_]> Likely some embedded chipset cruft. [00:37] i have boxes that have those specs but they are headless [00:38] fuck this old hardware shit I have had enough mucking with and fixing this shit to the point of ridiculousness I still have more then 10 year old computers running fine but laptops suck my dick [00:38] laptops can be a pain because they are already slower [00:38] right [00:38] Guest28273: hey, that language is not appreciated in this channel [00:38] well I am going to give it a try at least [00:38] i literally bought a refurb 2 years ago this time for $300 that is a beast of a laptop [00:39] <[Saint_]> If you buy a crap laptop...it'll be a crap laptop. [00:39] <[Saint_]> A craptop. [00:39] when i mean beast i mean good [00:39] <[Saint_]> There are, however, laptops that vastly excede most consuer desktops of the day. [00:39] <[Saint_]> You get what you pay for. [00:40] At the vary least I can at least download the newest tar of firefox and uses that with out the plugin features most of the other features will work just not video/flash things [00:40] <[Saint_]> *consumer [00:40] exactly [00:40] Guest28273, hopefully [00:40] i guess it cant hurt to try [00:40] turn off all services you dont need, etc [00:40] <[Saint_]> Guest28273: is the expense prohibitive, or...what? [00:41] You get what you pay for well how about i get access to all the companies and make everything from scratch with a few people helping here and there don't need much just access and time to thing [00:41] <[Saint_]> There's very little good reason to be running hardware that is a decade old in this day and age. [00:41] Guest28273, would be nice [00:42] <[Saint_]> Well...there's nothing stopping you from doing that. One can buy generic laptop cases the same as they can PC cases. [00:42] <[Saint_]> I've built all my laptops based on requirement. [00:42] <[Saint_]> You can too. [00:42] yes you can build your own .... it just doesn't seem to be cheaper [00:42] I still don't get how people define a persons worth by money smarts strength "NATURAL" will I have to say pound for pound nobody comes closes [00:42] <[Saint_]> Oh, no, certainly not. [00:42] well except maybe a few [00:42] * [Saint_] fails to parse that [00:42] <[Saint_]> It was just a random jumble of words [00:42] Guest28273, yes we have a crazy society where our self worth is skewd [00:43] but back to ubuntu [00:43] i don't think anyone here is defining you based on money - we're just curious why you're persevering with such old hardware which is already frustrating you right now, and is only going to get worse [00:43] ya if I had access to everything then maybe people would see that I can do there work just as good as them [00:43] Guest28273, and i would like to see you have that oppurtunity [00:43] <[Saint_]> gac: well said [00:43] if computing is important to you, as it seems to be, it's worth investing a little in [00:44] <[Saint_]> no one is defining you as anything, Guest28273. [00:44] <[Saint_]> We're just wondering why you're keeping decade old hardware alive for seemingly no reason. [00:44] i wish I could run the same computer I had 10 years ago - if I want a good experience then I can't, and I have to deal with that with occasional upgrades [00:44] <[Saint_]> Which is a valid question. [00:44] "such is life" [00:44] im not better because i have a newer laptop, that would be silly and immoral [00:44] I got a cloud of old crap computers people dropped off at ny computer shop [00:44] can you move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:45] <[Saint_]> ...a please would be nice. [00:45] i know this has been answered im sure ... is it possible to test out mir yet on 14.10 ? [00:45] well working when I am at my best not when I am pissed off or using 10/20% ish of my ability [00:46] or are we still that far off [00:46] <[Saint_]> lagbox: its been possible for roughly a year [00:46] <[Saint_]> longer, I think. [00:47] the whole point of this question is irrelevent I had the means to figure it out if I really wanted to hell I have computers that are like 13 years old running fine I don't think I would have to much problems figuring this out problem is it gets as boreing here with nothing to do [00:47] gotcha [00:47] don't feel bad, my mail server still runs dapper drake [00:47] so I like getting the people going lol [00:48] 6.06; that seems...brave [00:48] noice [00:48] it's never been blacklisted for getting pwned [00:48] lagbox, the closest thing you can get to even trying the Mir/Unity 8 combination is a special ISO build called Ubuntu Desktop Next. http://www.techrepublic.com/article/is-mir-and-convergent-desktop-hampering-the-development-of-ubuntu/ [00:48] OerHeks, thanks [00:49] and i love that title [00:49] <[Saint_]> errr, that's not even remotely true. [00:49] <[Saint_]> We've been able to run a Mir preview you an age. [00:49] <[Saint_]> bah. damn autocomplete [00:49] it is pointing to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-desktop-next/daily-live/current/ and should seek support in #ubuntu+1 [00:50] <[Saint_]> see: http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/using_mir_on_pc.html [00:50] <[Saint_]> that's been a possibility since...jeez, 13.04? [00:51] i would rather them have had mir ready for desktop instead of worrying about mobile [00:52] <[Saint_]> lagbox: makes more sense for them to work out the kinks on the smaller platform [00:52] <[Saint_]> it'll get there. [00:52] <[Saint_]> slowly. [00:52] <[Saint_]> As most things Ubuntu do. [00:53] it will either work or die [00:53] <[Saint_]> Many would argue it is dead already but Ubuntu is just overly persistent with flogging a dead horse. [00:53] * [Saint_] shrugs [00:53] indeed [00:53] thanks for the info [00:54] they dumped that ubuntu one idea like a hot rock [00:54] now back to playing with drivers to get off of fglrx [00:55] <[Saint_]> Well, in all seriousness, Ubuntu One was largely irrelevant. [00:56] <[Saint_]> No reason to concentrate on a cloud storage platform when many other players are vastly better at it than you are. [00:56] <[Saint_]> One of the few times Ubuntu seems to have admitted an irrelevancy instead of forcing it and beating it into the ground. [00:57] I thought that was all Canonical did [00:57] !ot [00:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:57] I built a 4tb owncloud and it does my shop fine [00:58] FilthyMacNasty: how does owncloud abstract the hardwre? [00:58] hardware* [01:00] sorry to sound silly but abstract the hardware? it runs on 14.04 like a dream [01:01] the only theoretically quantifiable aspect of 'cloud' is abstracted hardwre, the rest is 100% marketing nonsense :p [01:01] anybody?

[01:24] videowhisper and red5 [01:24] plex works good but i can hide folders [01:25] Michael_ also to shutdown network-manager has been tricky at times with service network-manager -stop ; [01:25] daftykins: Once I tried that with help of people in this forum. I can't exclude that something was done wrong. For the time being I am killing the processes in order to see which are actually responsible for networking. Perhaps I will examine the source codes later. [01:25] sacarlson: I want to have networking starting automatically without NetworkManager, that's the whole point. [01:25] automatically at boot, of course. [01:25] Michael_: may i suggest that it'd make a lot more sense to share the config file with us so we can see if it was made wrong? also you don't volunteer any info as to why it went wrong? [01:26] Michael_ you don't need network-manager to autostart networks that can still be done in /etc/network/interfaces [01:27] I have DHCP/NAT. I will share this configuration, where's this page where I should paste the links? [01:27] As to why it went wrong, I don't exactly remember.

[01:30] appears to be same issue. no icons or windows [01:30] gjo: ok, type lspci -v | grep VGA [01:30] Michael_ my software is also fully tested in ubuntu-server edition [01:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8740277/ [01:31] VGA compatible controller AMD/ATI turks radeon hd 6670 [01:32] (prog-if 00 [01:32] gjo: ok, type sudo lshw -C video | grep driver [01:32] Will a geforce gt 640 hold up in ubuntu? im a gamer, but i will upgrade the gpu later i just want to know if it will really be compatible [01:33] MichaelC: yes that's a terrible and incomplete config [01:33] the amd radeon hd 7660d cant run half the xubuntu wine games due to compatiblity === gthank is now known as zz_gthank [01:33] driver=fglrx_pci latency=0 === elegant is now known as BrielfElegant [01:34] accidentally killed quassel [01:34] MichaelC: sorry bad highlight [01:34] gjo: try to install the open source driver [01:34] hello === BrielfElegant is now known as _moon_ [01:34] Michael_: bad config, incomplete too. here's my suggestion - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8740291/ [01:35] !find fglrx [01:35] Found: fglrx-pxpress, fglrx, fglrx-amdcccle, fglrx-amdcccle-updates, fglrx-core [01:35] ok, how?

[01:35] I need som help with setting up the audio [01:35] gjo: remove the fglrx one first [01:35] Michael_: this'll still be lacking DNS too, so you would need resolvconf removed and to hardcode DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf [01:35] gjo: type dpkg -l | grep fglrx [01:35] daftykins: will the "static" configuration work? My IP's assigned by DHCP === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [01:36] i see several lines after that [01:36] Michael_: you would not be online with what's in that file, there's not enough there. so something else weird must be going on with your config. i think network manager is still working in your seutp [01:36] gjo: anything that stands out? do they all start with fglrx? [01:36] If someone named Atrius ever joins any server, stay away from him [01:37] daftykins: Of course it's working, I said that I'm working on disabling it, not that I'm done with this work.

[01:39] Michael_ next I'm not sure why you are using eth0:0 as a device as that's virtual but I guess that's optional but I think you still need to bring up the real one before a virtual can be added.

As far as I know NetworkManager calls wpa_supplicant and it's where the problem must be resolved. I'm gonna be careful cause once I uninstalled NetoworkManager and there was no way to have it back and running. For the time being I'm gonna kill almost all pids , see which ones relate to networking, then examining their source code and see what's actually going there. I will be then [01:52] able to start it by hand. You're speaking something about my configuration being incomplete, but I didn't even touch it, can you explain what you exactly mean?

[01:53] Michael_: never mind, never asked if it was wireless. [01:53] yes, it's wireless. [01:54] gjo: ok, what does the error say btw? [01:54] Michael_: so if you want to use a static IP, use network manager to specify it, it'll be hair-tearing-out-painful to try and use the interfaces file [01:54] Michael_: you should have lead with that information. wireless is not trivial to get working from cli only [01:54] exec path xorg [01:55] willing to do additional debugging work? [01:55] yes? [01:55] ok [01:55] sorry, I got so used to it that for a moment I even forgot that there're other ways. OK, I think that for the time being I'll be better to do the job on my own.

[01:57] there is much more ... not sure what is helpful [01:57] Michael_: why do you want to not use network manager [01:57] Ben64: because I don't know how to have it running without X-es [01:58] what is X-es [01:58] Michael_: you're better off booting in, let NM configure it, then drop to TTY and stop X if you must [01:58] !find xserver-xorg-core [01:58] Found: xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-core-dbg [01:58] daftykins: why??

[02:41] one of the VPS that will have a bandwidth limit [02:41] does Ubiquity in trusty put the bootloader automatically in the mbr when one manual partitions or should one explicitly leave space unallocated in the beginning? [02:41] MDTech-us_MAN: sorry I've never really compared bandwidth much. I've used ssh and samba that seem to be about the same [02:41] get a better allowance on that VPS [02:42] I am planning to move away from that VPS company entirely [02:42] they are too expencive [02:42] and they have service interruptions [02:42] MDTech-us_MAN: if you want stuff compressed you can do that over a compressed ssh session [02:43] not going to have much of an effect on most files though [02:43] why? [02:43] MDTech-us_MAN: I just prefer ssh as it provides easy access to any point of a system [02:43] most stuff is already about as small as it can get [02:43] hmm ok [02:44] is there a guide or someother literature where I can learn about mounting a directory over compressed SSh [02:44] MDTech-us_MAN: ya like ben64 states most is already compressed like video is compressed [02:45] text can be compressed [02:45] it really isn't going to be worth the trouble and cpu time to do that [02:45] MDTech-us_MAN: ya but text is normaly already small compared to bw [02:45] Hello [02:45] Who here is using ubuntu in a windows VM box?

[03:04] hey anyone know of a way to get feagrouter to install [03:04] igoryonya_: what are you trying to do [03:04] SchrodingersScat: see bad info from me AGAIN. lucky I said I would think, but I didn't think [03:05] Bend64, bring up the interface p6p1 and bring it down, when I need it, using ifdown [03:06] sacarlson: you can test, I made a /tmp/test and then populated it with empty files, including directories with empty files. clamscan seems to go at least one directory deep if you glob with * === Malsasa- is now known as Malsasa [03:08] igoryonya_: well it seems you don't have a p6p1 interface [03:08] SchrodingersScat: I am confident and trust you are correct [03:08] It's me again, thank you for your help, I've managed to set up console networking with wicd-curses, it's awesome ! :) [03:09] igoryonya_: what did they do change your ifconfig's [03:09] Ben64, but it shows up in 'lshw' in network section, also in 'ifconfig -a' and in 'ip addr' [03:10] Michael_ I didn't even know there was a wicd-curses sounds cool [03:10] Michael_ does it save after reboot? [03:10] sacarlson: saved me debugging at least :) [03:10] Michael_ well lucky you didn't listen to me then it would have taken longer [03:11] sacarlson: yes, I checked that. Just it is necessary to service network-manager down. And you have to configure your wireless and save the password in this program, otherwise it won't run. [03:11] sacarlson, because, since, in ubuntu 14.04, (service or /etc/init.d/) networking (stop|start|restart) stopped working, I have to resort to using ifdown -a; ifup -a, but p6p1 shows that error, when I try to bring it up. [03:11] Michael_ this is what my plan was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 would have been way more complicated [03:12] (by configuring your wireless I mean that you just have to press C - which is key for configuration in wicd, and then you type the password in the appropriate field, at least it worked for me). [03:13] hello everyone, offtopic channel seems dead :( [03:13] sacarlson: I once tried that and it worked on Slackware but it didn't want to work on Ubuntu. I don't know why. Perhaps I was doing something wrong. [03:13] igoryonya_: oh does sudo ifconfig p6p1 up ; bring it up then? [03:14] Michael_ I have used that method with success but later just setup scripts to do it so I didn't have to make permanent changes to my system as wifi was always changing [03:15] Michael_ but next time I need it I will look at your wicd method as I've always liked there wicd gui [03:15] sacarlson: do you have a link to this script? I like reading such things, so if you're willing to share... [03:15] sacarlson, it does, so, but then is there a way to do a it by a wildcard to restart all interfaces, similar to ifdown -a; ifup -a, I don't want to restart a server every time I change some network config. [03:16] Michael_ I think it's in my older mini-isp files on github if you want to take a look at them [03:16] sacarlson: thanks [03:17] igoryonya_: I don't know, I've never done it that way, again I just wrote scripts to bring all the nics up and set them as needed [03:18] igoryonya_: ifup and ifdown was developed after I learned stuf. I did try ifup ifdown but it conflicted with my old ways so held back on using them [03:18] test [03:19] fdisk -l /dev/sda shows three partitions. even tho i only configured 2 in ubiquity. unknown new partition is the same size swap and positioned just before swap but id 5 not 82 [03:19] s/same size swap/same size as swap [03:19] maybe anyone knows, why ifup doesn't work for that interface, it works for others. [03:19] igoryonya_: I think it's best to work on using ifup ifdown correctly if you don't have conflicts like me [03:19] Hey guys, so - my system hangs on login and I am now forced to use "tty"? to do anything. I am pretty sure the problem is that I installed the ati-graphics thing from the software center, can anybody help me fix this? I am on 14.10 [03:20] you installed the fglrx drivers ? [03:20] im trying to join another channel but it says can't join i need to be idetified by services [03:20] @lagbox Yeah [03:20] ubuntuaddicted, you need to register your nickname more than likely [03:20] lagbox, my nickname has been registered for forever [03:21] lagbox, how do i register again? guess i'll try again [03:21] /m nickserv help [03:21] says it isn't registered [03:22] igoryonya_: there is also this newer method to bring up devices ip link set dev eth0 up [03:22] they do get released if you dont identify for awhile [03:22] igoryonya_: oh it could also be some need to edit preup scripts [03:22] I am thinking I can just remove the package, but i am a bit hindered when only using tty to do stuff. (googling is a bit difficult) === Owner__ is now known as Guest41706 [03:24] ill see if i can get you the packages you need to reinstall [03:24] sacarlson, I need a wildcard method, that will bring up or down all cards at once, without listing all interfaces individually, like ifup -a or ifdown -a does or mount -a for disks, for example. [03:25] I might also have forgot to remove the old ones, which I assume probably caused some problems too. But thanks! [03:25] as it does while starting the computer [03:25] morsing, seems like a common issue [03:25] igoryonya_: yes and those should work if /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart is setup correctly [03:26] oh okay. [03:26] you can try purging fglrx and reinstalling it ... but i imagine you want to go to the open source drivers ? [03:27] is there a stable graphics driver for the AMD/ATI cards? [03:27] igoryonya_: maybe the scripts aren't setup to support that strange name of your device. you will have to look at both scripts for up and down [03:27] edition, depending upon the card and what features you need there are open source drivers and proprietary drivers [03:27] Yeah, that will be fine now. I just couldn't get "direct rendering" when try to play games, so I wanted to try another driver. [03:27] I am on HD4890 [03:28] morsing, so you had a desktop before with fglrx working ? [03:28] lagbox, OpenGL applications like flightgear have serious problems. The 'generic' driver isn't suitable for gaming. [03:28] sacarlson, so ifup looks in /etc/network/if-up.d/ folder for bringing up interfaces? [03:28] lagox: Would the non-free drivers be a better option? [03:28] I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 using the built in thing, but suddenly steam complained about direct rendering. [03:29] igoryonya_: yes and the script looks at all process that need to use nets when it does connect [03:30] honestly i can't stand fglrx [03:30] i think its a pile of crap [03:30] but besides that ... you may need to use them depending upon the card [03:30] and will probably have better results than me [03:30] How do i purge it? dpkg? - but the oss drivers worked fine before, so I will just go back to those. [03:31] morsing, you can purge fglrx then you would have to reinstall xorg stuff and libmesa and that stuff [03:31] lagbox, edition, opensource drivers for ati cards are to slow yet, they are still playing catch up to be feature complete as the proprietary drivers, so no time for speed optimization yet. so, for now, have to use proprietary drivers, if looking for performance. [03:31] thanks [03:31] edition, on amd.com site, you can download the ati drivers for linux. [03:31] i have always had better results with the open source drivers [03:31] but then again i dont play games [03:32] well its more to do with graphics performance. [03:32] but gaming is important. [03:32] lagbox, even gnome/unity and video players lag, when I tried to use opensource [03:32] not for me [03:32] its the opposite [03:32] fglrx is laggy [03:33] open source drivers were smooth as silk [03:33] @lagbox, i am pretty sure the mesa drivers are still there. Which might be the cause of my problems, unless fglrx uninstalled them. But they might have conflicted and now it is all fucked? [03:34] morsing, its possible [03:34] sacarlson, thank you, I will look inside those files. [03:35] igoryonya_: ok good luck and have fun [03:35] I think i will just try removing the fglrx drivers and see what happen, can't be worse than tty. Can you help me with the command? [03:36] morsing, yea i will find it ... just recovering from a graphical glitch that likes to lock up unity / compiz / chrome with these drivers [03:36] @lagbox Alright, thanks a lot. [03:37] morsing, you might also have some nvidia drivers installed that conflict with ati drivers, I've had that problem before. Checked and uninstalled nvidia drivers and it started working. The reason, because I had an nvidia card before, the drivers left over. [03:38] morsing, did you see a message like this Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0 ? [03:38] Can't remember, but it said some errors. [03:39] Can i find them again somewhere? [03:39] Is this updated ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Thumb2 [03:39] "Default Build Options for Lucid" [03:41] Is there a version of ubuntu for the raspberry pi [03:41] bray90820: no [03:41] :( [03:42] Any sort of debian for it === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [03:42] bray90820: this is not #debian [03:42] but yes i believe it's called raspbian [03:43] Cool [03:43] Thanks [03:43] bray90820: there are several PC on stick that comes with ubuntu if that is what you are looking for [03:43] bray90820, I think you can install ubuntu on rasberry pi, if you install wayland instead of xorg., I might be wrong. [03:44] I was actually gonna turn my raspberry pi into a tablet [03:48] igoryonya_: there is no version of ubuntu that runs on a pi. It's to do with the instruction set supported by the pi (arm6) and that required by arm ports of ubuntu (arm7) IIRC === xubuntu is now known as Guest82961 [03:54] somsip, what about the phone version of ubuntu? [03:55] <[Saint_]> somsip: that's plainly untrue [03:56] <[Saint_]> If you go back far enough, of course you can run Ubuntu on a pi. [03:56] <[Saint_]> FWIW, I'm taking issue with the "no version" statement. [03:56] <[Saint_]> As that is demonstrably untrue. [03:57] <[Saint_]> No /current/ version, sure. I'll accept that. [03:57] <[Saint_]> No version /period/, is quite wrong. [03:57] [Saint_]: give me one link [03:58] igoryonya_: it's a phone version, not a pi version [03:58] <[Saint_]> somsip: jaunty and karmic will run on a pi. [03:59] <[Saint_]> In theory. [03:59] <[Saint_]> Ubuntu /did/ support ARM not so long ago. [03:59] <[Saint_]> Ubuntu pissed and moaned about the raspberrypi and asked them to specifically stop staing it had compatibility. [03:59] <[Saint_]> It was hilarious. [04:00] [Saint_]: so that's 9.1 which has been EOL for..how long? I disagree that is a solution. [04:00] <[Saint_]> It still invalidates your claim, does it not? [04:00] <[Saint_]> Saying otherwise is demonstrably untrue. [04:00] [Saint_]: but next time I say this to anyone here, I will add 'no current and supported version' - you're right on that [04:03] hi everyone, after upgrading to 14.10 none of apps is able to use the laptop webcam, any clues where to start debugging or what to do? [04:03] [Saint_]: i think you're failing to see the wood for the trees. the channel doesn't support EOL releases so your point is moot. [04:03] you can install ubuntu on rasbarry pi if you want to compile a system for arm6, and that can be done. but easier to just port an app to debian and compile just your app if not already suported on debian [04:04] <[Saint_]> daftykins: I think you're just being assinine, the point is valid. [04:05] <[Saint_]> The statement "no version of Ubuntu for raspberrypi" is wrong. Period. [04:06] [Saint_]: there's no need to get so personally attacking in here. this is a friendly channel meant to connect volunteers with people that have questions. rather than second guessing other volunteers, perhaps you could focus on actually helping people? [04:06] [Saint_]: I think there are just no supported binarry repository at this time, but you can compile it and we will support a none EOL compiled on rasberry pi [04:07] <[Saint_]> So, correcting misinformation isn't helping people? === uwishuno is now known as uwishununoware [04:07] <[Saint_]> OP now knows it is indeed possible. [04:07] <[Saint_]> If that's not a positive.... [04:08] *sigh* [04:08] <[Saint_]> Yeah, you do that. [04:08] you're not helping :) good night. [04:09] the acpi thermal sensor is reporting 91 Degrees!

[04:11] laptop ? [04:11] yes [04:11] edition, don't let children/smokers/animals near it and clean your vents. [04:11] edition: opps BIGGER fan [04:11] amd/ati ? [04:11] as long as it isn't powering off, it's probably fine [04:11] yes. [04:11] haha [04:11] that was a dangerous temperature. [04:12] it was 93 degrees for a short time. [04:12] yea that is a little high [04:12] 93 degC [04:12] edition, C or F [04:12] C [04:12] C [04:12] edition, smokin! [04:12] that is shutdown time [04:12] edition, I would have expected it to shutdown long before it got that hot ... [04:13] can I check for damage? [04:13] gents, for some reason I can't map my wifes laptop to any of my NFS shares and I can't figure out what it is that's preventing it. [04:13] <[Saint_]> ~100C is a usual thermal shutdown temp for modern CPUs. [04:13] my account works like a champ. [04:13] <[Saint_]> ~95C thermal limiting kicks in. [04:13] edition, smell of smoke? [04:13] she's coming from a windows machine btw [04:13] edition, honestly i would shut it down [04:13] not really, unusually :/ [04:13] edition: that thermocopler can't be correct. we didn't even make military stuf run at 93C 55C max maybe 60C [04:13] sacarlson, mine registers those temps as well [04:14] hi everyone, after upgrading to 14.10 none of apps is able to use the laptop webcam, any clues where to start debugging or what to do? [04:14] its dropped to 58 degrees [04:14] lagbox: what's the command to see it? [04:14] mine is 51 C at the moment [04:14] anyway. How can i assess the damage? [04:14] if i run it full with full graphics it will hit 90C [04:14] (to my laptop cpu) [04:15] probably not really easily [04:15] <[Saint_]> edition: assuming the reported temperature is correct, its largely capable of looking after itself. Unless you've diabled thermal limiting/shutdown at a BIOS level. [04:15] to me its more about heat damage over time at that rate [04:15] <[Saint_]> It'll take care of itself if it thinks its in danger. [04:16] plus there are really fun things with ATI and these drivers and fans [04:16] but can I check if all the flags/features are still working? [04:16] edition, i suppose you can check the cpu in proc [04:16] thanks [04:16] lickalott: paistbin /etc/exports to start and what is being used on the client side? fstab ? [04:16] lickalott: and I assume the needed packages are installed [04:17] is it possible to run the fan at a constant high speed? [04:17] if you really wanted to [04:17] how [04:17] there are all kinds of odd flags you can pass at boot to the kernel depending upon which drivers you are using [04:18] and there are some known issues with fans and having to set boot settings [04:18] what sort of odd flags? [04:18] you would have to google it [04:18] <[Saint_]> lm-sensors and fancontrol can do it. [04:18] you have to be careful [04:18] <[Saint_]> it'll be _loud_ though. [04:18] dont just play around [04:18] :) [04:18] some of those will disable the fan [04:18] \o/ [04:18] fire hazard. [04:19] if there is software that will control that i would use that before playing with boot params [04:19] <[Saint_]> install lm-sensors and run 'sensors' to get a wider view of what's ahppening with fan speed, C|GPU temp, chassis temp, disk temp, etc. [04:20] <[Saint_]> its also your freind, and required, for fancontrol. [04:20] <[Saint_]> But there's a great many ways to do this. [04:20] sacarlson, yes. My account works fine (from anywhere) [04:21] plus the computer should be able to regulate the fan itself [04:21] more than likely you probably need to blow out the vents and make sure the laptop isn't directly on a surface [04:22] <[Saint_]> Placement of the box can make a huge difference as well. [04:22] <[Saint_]> If its just sucking the hot air its blowing out back in, you're gonna have a bad time. [04:22] plus there is actually a different between notebooks and laptops [04:22] difference [04:22] sacarlson, http://paste2.org/GPy6sMEF [04:22] I blame HP. [04:23] you want FSTAB also? [04:23] btw: thanks for taking the time [04:23] <[Saint_]> Really? I thought notbook/laptop was largely interchangeable, and netbook was the one that should be differentiated against? [04:23] <[Saint_]> But I suppose the usage varies by locality. [04:23] Hi all, All my menu's text seemed to have turned black, can I reset this to white text? [04:24] some are not made to be directly put on surfaces that they can't easily vent [04:24] JordanJ2, settings > appearance [04:24] the only netbooks anyone sells anymore are chromebooks, and they don't call them netbooks [04:24] all some kind of laptop [04:24] not netbook [04:25] ok. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll have to shutdown the system for a while... [04:25] i would recommend blowing out the vents [04:26] lagbox: continue this conversation at #ubuntu-chat? [04:26] cfhowlett: Where in there? [04:26] <[Saint_]> Clean her out, sure. But its largely capable of looking after itself if you've not specifically disabled thermal limiting. [04:26] sure [04:26] JordanJ2, should be a selection of themes which = appearance. experiement [04:26] *experiment* [04:27] cfhowlett: Don't see that.. [04:28] JordanJ2, might be a xubuntu thing ... I've never used unity ubuntu so I *could* be in error. but you should have an appearance reset button somewhere. [04:28] I have "Reset behavioural settings" [04:29] But doesn't touch that [04:30] JordanJ2: appearance settings refuses to always on top, but I'm in xubuntu 14.04 if that helps you at all. [04:31] SchrodingersScat: Fixed [04:31] lickalott: yes the fstab might help also, I don't see anything outstandingly wrong in exports but it's been some time since I've played with nfs [04:31] SchrodingersScat, as am I. he said his colors reversed so I thought it must be "appearance": ... [04:31] oops, i reversed that somehow [04:31] k. wait 1 sacarlson [04:32] lickalott: also I'm already getting ready to go fly and go cook and eat breakfast so don't have much time but with that added info there should be others here that can also help [04:32] http://paste2.org/ndzphtbn [04:33] i ensured that the NFS client package was installed for windows. [04:34] lickalott: more on the client side is needed fstab on the client or the method used to connect to nfs from client [04:34] sorry... [04:34] mount -o :/media/wolverine (for example) [04:35] lickalott: oh clients on windows, can you test a client from a linux system?

Sorry bud.

[05:15] and besides there may or may not be a solution to that problem [05:15] lagbox, ubuntu 14.04 [05:15] i will have to load my browser up again and see if i have that issue as well [05:15] anyone here === notzopsi is now known as zopsi [05:16] it_ nope [05:16] m new to ubuntu.. using it live.. i wanted to know how could i customize it.. === notzopsi is now known as zopsi [05:20] it_: there are tools to make custom iso files for ubuntu to add presinstalled packages or remove unneeded ones. I'm not sure that's a good step for a beginner [05:21] people must think I'm a speed typist or something?? [05:21] eh? [05:22] sacarlson: use 'remastersys' === notzopsi is now known as zopsi [05:23] l0rdn1x: ya but it_ already left the room 20 secounds after asking the question not awaiting the answer [05:23] l0rdn1x: don't you hate that? [05:24] sacarlson: yes [05:24] Query: For some reason, sudo apt-fast autoremove does NOT remove old kernel headers from my machine. Why is this? [05:24] sacarlson: they are worse in #elementaryos [05:24] sacarlson: they will stick around maybe 25 35 seconds [05:25] Add to that my inode count was 99%. Manually removing old headers and rebooting made that go down to 37%. What gives? [05:25] l0rdn1x: they think we are computers like google that return requests in 1.2 secounds === ubuntu is now known as Guest97025 [05:26] sacarlson: yeah I know what you mean lol [05:29] and remastersys has gone bye bye afaik === abb is now known as Guest78159 [05:30] ObrienDave: I still have remastersys [05:30] I will have it forever ;) [05:30] yea, but the author quit developing it [05:31] Yeah I know he kept getting trolled [05:31] how do I prevent "System Problem detected. Do you want to report this problem now?" dialogs from popping up? I get three every time I log in [05:31] siloxid, well you could fix the problem, that is one way [05:32] but i have a feeling as updates roll out that issue might get resolved [05:33] * l0rdn1x has a sneaking suspicions that siloxid is using the unicorn lol j/k [05:33] they have been popping up for six months now. I just want the dialog to go away. [05:33] look at the details and find out what is causing the problem [05:34] the system isn't doing anything horrid so I don't really see a point in the nagware-style dialogs [05:34] because there was a problem [05:34] reminds me of the early nineties shareware trend [05:34] if we dont report software problems how do the developers know there is an issue ? [05:34] you report them silently without a stupid dialog popping up three times on login [05:35] how about you find the problem and fix it [05:35] then it will stop popping up [05:35] siloxid: they have to let you know when your sending a bug report or it's a privacy violation. [05:35] or do something crazy like remove apport or something [05:36] l0rdn1x: yes.. you have a dialog that says "report system problems" with a yes or no button. not rocket science [05:36] that is what we have [05:36] so, send the reports. not rocket science either [05:36] siloxid: you have to be notified 'every' time they send data or it's a privacy violation. [05:37] maybe if you sent the damn report they may have fixed it by now ??? [05:37] no. you have three dialogs that pop up saying "system problem detected". if you click on "report problem" it takes you on a wild goose chase. not nearly the same thing [05:37] l0rdn1x: no, it isn't. take a look at how iOS handles the same thing. and chrome. and everything else [05:38] then use a mac [05:38] *no feeding trolls* [05:38] siloxid: just remove apport then [05:40] lagbox: use a mac? are you serious? [05:41] no im not .. im just done arguing with you [05:41] lagbox: well that's good. you weren't contributing anything to the conversation [05:41] siloxid: we told you the solutions, you can try and fix the error by looking at the details, or you can remove apport [05:43] hello [05:44] hi [05:58] I have a camera that requires the SE401 driver. Is the module still part of the linux kernel? [05:59] probably [05:59] where? [06:00] I couldn't find the SE401 module. [06:00] i see a se401.h [06:02] Hello [06:02] Greetings & Welcome [06:02] Thanks [06:02] Ben64: where did you find the header file? [06:03] In ubuntu can do like that... means... I select all my video files and can see how long it's... [06:03] edition: /usr/src/... [06:03] thanks [06:03] Shunya: huh? [06:04] l0rdn1x, I mean i select some video file and can see it's video time length [06:04] they want to know if there's a length column in file manager a-la windows [06:04] yup [06:05] i think duration is right word i mistaken [06:05] oh [06:05] select them all ... go to properties and maybe in the additional info ? [06:05] Shunya, length or duration is fine :) [06:05] se401.h is empty. [06:06] but anyway, there is no se401 library in the kernel. [06:06] *system. [06:06] thanks lagbox and ObrienDave [06:07] first i need to restart my machine :) [06:07] hehe i dont think properties will give that [06:07] nope it wont [06:07] lol [06:07] ah was worth a shot [06:07] probably need to put them all in some media gallery and have it do it [06:08] yep I think VLC will do it === jack is now known as Guest66723 [06:08] VLC will once it reads the file [06:08] Well now I am curious to find a command that does that so I probably will tomorrow lol [06:09] i know my avis have audio/video tab in properties [06:09] l0rdn1x, really now i want to know as well [06:10] * ObrienDave = 3 LOL [06:10] lol [06:11] first world computer problems [06:12] hello [06:12] hi [06:12] any Ubuntu expert? need help [06:12] ask away [06:13] hello, can I create a windows7 bootable USB with this command? dd if=~/xxx.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ?? [06:14] I am planning to install Ubuntu in over 150 systems in our office. We only use VLC for videos and local network(browser and network file) which distro would you recommend? [06:14] really [06:14] Yes [06:14] Do I need sudo dd if=~/xxx.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ?? [06:14] hehe i guess you mean like what flavor of ubuntu ? [06:14] yes [06:14] maven: whichever you prefer [06:14] I found this guys, http://gentoovps.net/video-length-from-command-line/ then we just make a script that does that recursive for all file names in your folder wham [06:14] lol [06:15] nice [06:15] Yes :) i asked couple of my friends and they said Lubuntu would be good? [06:16] kelvinella: no [06:16] maven: you'd probably want something like ubuntu desktop and a kickstart file. you could completely customize the packages that come pre-instaled and tweak as needed [06:16] http://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu [06:18] kelvinella: you can try it though, for fun ;) [06:18] sqwaw: I checked the link, that is actually good. I was checking SuseStudio, is that any good? [06:19] basically, I want VLC to stream from the SE401 camera.

Is there any command to update the software information without rebooting the computer? [06:49] someone here used tightvncviewer? [06:49] miandonmenmian, where are you seeing this listed of installed software ? [06:49] ok, my machine finally finished processing files. I rebooted to make it bring up the "report problem" dialogs and submitted the problem. one admin password and five dialogs later it submitted the bug. I'm not seeing any more dialogs now when I log in. awesome! [06:49] sweet only 6 months in the making [06:50] lagbox: not actually seeing, just installed an updated version of a software, and when i call it on the terminal it still shows the old one. But i've had similar issues before. I believe i heard there is a command that refreshes this [06:50] lagbox: the last time I tried to report the problem it went into an infinite loop of dialogs and I gave up [06:50] lagbox: I need to find a way to get this SE401 camera to work as video1. My laptop webcam by default is video0. [06:51] siloxid, ah ... yea that would be very very annoying [06:51] understandable [06:51] edition, what ever software you are using should be able to see all the devices so you can pick which one [06:52] I need to install the driver first. [06:52] somehow. [06:52] miandonmenmian, for fun type which your-command-here [06:52] edition, it is entirely possible that after you get the driver and reboot that that device may become video1 [06:53] yes. But I need to install the driver first. Any suggestions? [06:53] usb webcam ? [06:54] someone here used tightvncviewer? [06:54] lagbox: more explicitly I'm talking about cmake. which cmake : /usr/local/bin/cmake then the installer says: -- Installing: /usr/local/bin/cmake [06:54] akaWolf: ask your actual question [06:54] cmake version says its the old one. [06:54] miandonmenmian, your not installing it from the repo ? [06:55] no [06:55] edition, is it aox, philips, or kensington [06:55] miandonmenmian: what version of ubuntu do you have, and which version of cmake do y9ou have [06:55] miandonmenmian, do you know where the correct version is located atm ? [06:55] well, i tried with #updatedb and looks like got something [06:56] nah [06:56] lagbox, according to the hardware description: "Endpoints, Inc. SE401 Webcam", so probably AOX. [06:56] or not. [06:56] isn't it an external webcam ? [06:56] tried on a new terminal, cmake --help shows the new version. old terminal shows the old version :S [06:57] yes, its an external webcam. [06:57] miandonmenmian: ok so close the old terminal? [06:57] ah i guess it has no identifiers on it [06:57] it was bought more than several years ago; I doubt it. [06:58] Ben64: yeah, well. I tried with #reset before, i was hoping to find a command that refreshes this. but i suppose close the old terminal does the trick [06:58] it could be endpoint [06:58] they make the se402 [06:58] I can't grab all keyboard events in the fullscreen mode in tight vnc viewer. [06:58] Ben64: [06:58] yes, thats the endpoint, but definitely the correct driver. [06:59] lol, it said to run sudo youtube-dl -U , then to run it again and here is what I get when trying to run it the second time.. /usr/bin/youtube-dl: 1: /usr/bin/youtube-dl: Not: not found [06:59] pulseaudio plays just fine with VLC media player for flash and netflix it says "ALSA plug-in [plugin-container]" there is alot of stuttering and when I put in full screen it just crashes [07:00] your kernel might have a se401 driver [07:00] running 14.04.1 LTS === dominus_ is now known as rikut [07:00] gspca_se401 ?

[08:01] i have 6gb and i run out [08:01] no vms [08:02] Long time ago ia32-libs used to be go to requirements for Android SDK. It no longer exist. I see blogs don't mention any package requirements for Android SDK except Java. Is there no 32 bit package requirement for Android SDK on Ubuntu 14.04? [08:02] l0rdn1x: it's soldered, Macbook Air [08:02] I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a VM. I can't for the life of me locate the settings for keyboard layout [08:02] 8GB does me some good so far, but I would love to have 16gb just so I don't have to worry about it. [08:02] I want the OS in English, but I'm using a Swedish keyboard and want that layout [08:02] for me chromium is the biggest offender :) [08:04] l0rdn1x should I buy a new notebook ? [08:04] streulma: yeah and send me the old macbook air I could put that thing to some good use [08:04] lol' [08:04] it should say EN somewhere in the upper bar, near the volume control and bluetooth and clock, shouldn't it? [08:05] or there should at least be a choice for keyboard layout in the "Keyboard" entry in the settings, but there isn't [08:05] wtf? [08:05] hello.whats the reason for using both tar and gzip together? Why not just use gzip to compress a folder containing files into a compressed file, without needing to use tar? [08:05] ???????????????????? [08:05] no, for real [08:06] streulma: for real if your going to buy a brand new notebook, send me your Macbook if your gonna toss it lol [08:07] instigator: It makes for better compression. [08:07] nooooooooooo [08:07] Goodnight all [08:07] I sell it [08:07] no takers on my keyboard layout problem... I guess I'll try again later [08:08] l0rdn1x: from what I read tar does not compress files, only archives a number of files into one file, while gzip and compress a number of files in one file. So I dont see the point of using tar with gzip, since tar does not further compress the file [08:08] *while gzip can compress [08:09] sorry for typo [08:09] hey [08:09] KTorrent 9 kibs/s wtf.. when my speed test shows 100mbps download speed [08:09] Hi need some help, i need mailutils without postfix. [08:09] instigator, you are quite right. Tar is just an archiver, whilst gzip and bzip would be better for your needs [08:10] or use the command mail i need [08:10] anyone suggest a better torrent ?

[09:34] i've tried copy paste and just right clicking the iso [09:34] and going write to disc [09:34] when i copy past [09:35] or move [09:35] it says [09:35] the destination is read only [09:35] is it a RW cd/dvd? [09:36] ill check [09:36] ive tried 3 different cs [09:36] ones a cdr [09:36] ones a dvd r [09:36] tried both [09:36] they have files from a windows computer [09:37] what ubuntu is that exactly? which program do you use(the filemanager?)? [09:38] told you its such a difficult problem :/ [09:38] kinda puts me off ubuntu [09:38] can you explain what you want fully in as much detail as possible [09:39] yup [09:39] Okay so i have an iso [09:39] that i downloaded [09:39] i want to put it on a disc [09:39] but the disc says read only [09:39] if you explain it on one line it will really help people read it [09:39] i cant crosscheck since i dont have a cd/dvd device anymore. but last time i tried on a differen device it worked as expected. so please put more details in your question (best in one line) [09:39] ive tried 3 differen t discs and searched the problem [09:40] Itachi: what ubuntu is that exactly? which program do you use(the filemanager?)? [09:40] ubuntu 14.0 [09:40] filemanger ummm [09:40] how do you find out that [09:40] 14.04? "lsb_release -d" give the full number [09:40] pretty new to ubuntu only got today [09:40] 14.04 yeh [09:40] Itachi: do you want to write the iso to the disc as an image? or as a file on the disc? normally you'd write it as an image so you can use whatever it is supposed to be [09:41] Itachi: yes which program do you use for that task? [09:41] h [09:41] its an operating system so an image [09:41] is it the filemanager or something else? [09:41] 14.04 lts [09:41] Itachi: ok so open up your favorite burning software (mine is k3b) and write it as an image to a blank disc [09:41] Itachi: can you start the program "brasero" its like nero burning on windows [09:41] ok [09:42] create a new project [09:42] hello, how i can disable the LAN input like "blacklist uvcvideo" disable the webcam ? [09:42] seems to not want to do the iso [09:43] it says please replace the disc with a supported cd or dvd.. [09:43] Itachi: is it a proper image? [09:43] if you're in brasero, choose "Burn image" [09:43] yeh [09:43] friend used jsut before [09:43] is the disc completely empty? [09:43] no [09:43] then you can't burn an image to it [09:43] but it has space [09:43] i think [09:43] how can i delete stuff off it ? [09:43] cause i only have a mac [09:44] Itachi: no. a iso needs to use the whole disc. [09:44] so? an image is a full disc image of a disc, and it has to be written fully [09:44] ohh [09:44] is there any way of fomating the disc [09:44] not if it isn't a cdrw/dvdrw [09:45] oh okay i think i have some cdrws upstairs [09:45] if i grab one will i be able to re write it on ubuntu [09:45] or you can get a blank cdr [09:45] might not be one [09:45] ill see [09:48] back [09:48] hi [09:48] hopefuly not scratched found some cdrws [09:48] hi [09:49] i made some modifications to the ubuntu kernel [09:49] Itachi: a cd will be too small for the standard Ubuntu image, I think [09:49] not im trying to put windows 8 [09:49] its 3.6 gb i think [09:49] how can i prevent apt from "upgrading" the packages i generate and install when building my kernel? [09:49] Itachi: yeah, a cd is 0.7GB so that won't work [09:49] really [09:49] it says 4.7gb [09:49] then that is a dvd [09:50] yeh it is [09:50] dvd rw [09:50] dvd and rw [09:50] ill insert now [09:50] !pinning | ppf [09:50] ppf: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:50] cool, have fun [09:50] no wait [09:50] it says this [09:50] you have just inserted a blank dvd choose what to do [09:50] nvm ill see if it works [09:51] brainwash: so whenever i build and install a new version of my kernel i should pin it in dpkg/apt? [09:51] sweet looks like its working :) [09:51] Itachi: its the same task as if you want to burn a iso to a dvd on windows or mac. it may be have other program names or other colors but the task is the same. just dont let you distract because its a linux. [09:51] Itachi: good. [09:52] yeh i understand now [09:52] only had ubuntu for few hours getting the hang of it now [09:52] ppf: I guess you could pin the ubuntu linux packages by setting the priority to a low value, maybe even 0 or -1 [09:52] does anyone know how much space ubuntu OS takes up ? [09:52] \ [09:53] ppf: you can simply remove the linux-image-generic package and things won't get updated (I think that's the package name...) [09:53] Itachi: like minimal install? or on a full desktop isntall? [09:53] full desktop install [09:53] why does apt try to update my custombuilt packages anyways? is it because of the name and version? [09:54] are you using apt update ? [09:54] mcphail: i did that already, and that successfully prevents major version updates, nontheless it still tries to upgrade the individual packages if there is a change within a version [09:54] ppf: take a look at "apt-cache policy " [09:54] Itachi: i would say 7-15 GB for / (system. depends on what amount of software you want to install) and then /home as much of you need for your files like media, hotos etc. [09:54] ppf: how are you building and installing your kernel? The simple way or are you making a .deb? [09:55] oh okay do you know if you can partion ubuntu whilest running win8 ? [09:55] because i remember when i installed it there was a partion option but thats when i had no OS [09:55] Hey guys, any body expert on ubuntu sound issues? I am facing problem: http://pastebin.com/Et5mh77F [09:55] ppf: apt will install any version that is newer than the one installed, when it finds one in the active repos. [09:55] i use the git sources at kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git, and i build it using the debian/rules script [09:55] Itachi: you can't really do anything with ubuntu partitions in windows [09:55] and that generates .debs [09:55] o okay [09:56] ppf: Aah. I find it much easier to do a simple make install. I don't like to use the package manager for kernels [09:56] Itachi: of course you can manually change partitions in the installer. or in the live-ubuntu [09:56] yeh [09:56] I want to learn some more about ubuntu before i move back to windows do you have any suggestions ? [09:56] i know some simple terminal commands [09:57] mcphail: that doesn't sound like the worst idea, i think i can give that a shot [09:57] ppf: if you make a deb, it will be updated by the package manager unless you do pinning as above [09:57] Itachi: just start using it. [09:57] yeh i have but i'm still a bit confused with the installing stuff offline thing [09:57] mcphail: or could i somehow make it generate packages with a different name? [09:57] ppf: use apt pinning to prevent updates [09:58] ppf: probably but I don't know how ;) [09:58] !manual | Itachi [09:58] Itachi: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [09:58] ppf: but be aware of the updates you need to do manually then [09:58] okay thanks :) [09:58] !rute | Itachi and this [09:58] Itachi and this: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [09:58] yes, i understand that [09:58] what do the names in red mean btw? [09:59] ppf: the only problem I've had with "make install" is the nvidia driver tends to get into a muddle. I always run "apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-whateverversion" afterwards [09:59] Itachi: its called "highlight". when somebody names your nick [09:59] first i'll try to find out how to change the -generic to something more distinguishing, maybe that'll throw apt off it's course!

[15:18] Uh, type "compiz" and press tab [15:18] apt-get remove resolvconf [15:18] White_Cat: ^ [15:18] ah remove [15:19] White_Cat: why is it a hyper-V host, are you in education? [15:19] acerspyro: compiz or compiz-decorator ? [15:19] AlexPortable: Did you install it% [15:19] ?* [15:19] yes [15:19] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [15:19] daftykins because I am testing something [15:19] compizconfig [15:19] live server will come later [15:19] compizconfig: command not found [15:20] in the meanwhile I dont want to spend all my time next to the water cooler looking like an idiot :) [15:20] http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2756/ubuntu_install_compiz_config_settings_manager_configure_desktop_effects/ [15:20] White_Cat: water cooler 0o [15:20] ok found it === Magnet_ is now known as MagogH [15:20] it was in the start menu [15:20] it cools water :p [15:20] >Start menu [15:20] What's a start menu? [15:20] the button you press to start applications [15:20] its the button that existed since the 90s [15:21] left top corner [15:21] You can'T access your computer when it's turned off, how could you have a menu to start it? :P [15:21] it exists in windows and ubuntu desktop [15:21] it doesn't starts hardware [15:21] it starts software [15:21] how can you access a menu when your computer is turned off? [15:21] acerspyro 'd appreciate if you dont confuse people asking for help more :p [15:21] White_Cat: It's not a start button [15:21] what is it then? [15:21] It's the Unity button [15:21] a shutdown button? [15:22] and in windows 8 it's the metro / modern ui button [15:22] and on windows 7 it was the start button [15:22] Yeah whatevs [15:22] and on mac os it's finder button [15:22] w/e [15:22] acerspyro, and your seat cussion cant be used as a flotation device either but you do not see me complaining [15:22] Unity button. [15:22] anyway [15:22] it'sz called HUD in Unity [15:22] how do I disable the unity minimize animation? [15:23] i clicked unity in compizconfig [15:23] there is a module for that IIRC but I never used it [15:23] Also, title bars disappear during animation, is this normal? [15:23] rather I always use ubuntu-server [15:23] no UI :/ [15:24] hello guys.I have a problem which i think is small for you.I installed a new hdd on my ubuntu pc.I changed the sata ports of the hdd,on the motherboard.The first time i power on the pc i got stuck on the listing pci devices screen(its an old cpc) [15:24] *GUI not UI ;) [15:24] webb1wd: change them back [15:24] then i went to bios and changed order to boot from and it worked allright [15:24] also i don't mean window animation [15:24] i mean animation poping up in the left bar [15:25] thanks daftykins for your answer,i have already slolved this problem and i thought i might be important for the upcoming problem. [15:26] now i get to ubuntu to startup and i get "Gave up waiting for root device error" [15:26] webb1wd: ok, i shall wait for the actual question [15:26] #zinc [15:26] webb1wd: so did you have adisk with an old install, then you plugged in the new one and installed a clean ubuntu to that new disk? [15:26] msingh_: nup, u phail, try again. [15:27] acerspyro: don't make useless comments [15:27] D: you guys have no sense of humor. [15:27] daftykins i just added a new disk,it says smthng about uuid. [15:27] >This is not a channel for humor [15:27] webb1wd: so the new disk is storage only? [15:27] Then it's lifeless [15:28] Also in ubuntu everything is faded it seems, windows is more sharp. why is this?\ [15:28] daftykins yes,untouched [15:28] acerspyro: we do, but the place for stupid chatter is in #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is for support only. so please buck up [15:28] daftykins maybe tell it to see for another uuid ? [15:28] AlexPortable in windows everything is more sharp, why is this? [15:28] Hrm. That channel is the toughest channel I've seen on Freenode. So seriopus it's inhuman, but w/e [15:28] webb1wd: did the SATA cable juggling involve moving the OS disk away from being in a more primary port number? [15:29] MonkeyDust: thanks for rephrasing my question [15:29] AlexPortable: What do you mean it's "more sharp"? [15:29] It happens faster? [15:29] no [15:29] on ubuntu it's like someone put something on my screen [15:29] daftykins im not sure mate. [15:29] sounds like it's not running at your screen's native resolution [15:29] ? [15:30] it is [15:30] 1366x768 [15:30] AlexPortable: Are you sure? [15:30] yes [15:30] It looks sharp here, pixel for pixel [15:30] webb1wd: if you boot a live session you can check your UUIDs versus what's in your /etc/fstab file to see if they need updating [15:30] webb1wd: there's no reason they should have changed though [15:30] webb1wd: Please start typing the username, and then press tab instead of copy-pasting their name. [15:31] acerspyro: ok [15:31] windows is just more crisp [15:31] daftykins: thanks i will now burn a dvd. [15:31] AlexPortable: imho, it's ugly. [15:31] so? [15:32] webb1wd: ISO on a flash drive would be nicer if you have any :) [15:32] And that's how Windows is. Crisp. [15:32] AlexPortable: maybe you can take pictures, i don't understand what you mean at all, nor does anyone else it seems [15:32] It's an art style. So is Ubuntu's fade effects. [15:32] daftykins: my computer is too old for that :S.i have tried it im not sure why it doesnt boot it,its a 2005 pc. [15:33] webb1wd: ah - do you remember which ubuntu version you have on there? [15:33] hmm i need something i can compare [15:33] daftykins: yes 14.04 [15:33] webb1wd: good stuff. [15:34] webb1wd: i'll be back shortly, if you're ready in the meantime just ask the channel that you want to compare UUIDs to /etc/fstab if you need more assistance :) [15:34] webb1wd: fwiw, if your unit won't boot from usb then you might consider burning a "plop" cd which when booted first will allow the computer to boot from usb. http://www.plop.at/en/home.html [15:35] hi guys, having problems with sama [15:35] samba* [15:36] squinty: wow!thanks very much i never knew about that ill certainly try it. [15:36] my problem with samba is normally windows [15:36] i think it's ubuntu in this case actually [15:36] i have a share set up using the built-in nautilus local network share tool on my LAN [15:36] Pinkie_Pylon: Ask a real question, not an affirmation [15:37] daftykins: http://img.nl.eu.org/EiYUpW.png [15:37] well, can I link my askubuntu question? [15:37] left = ubuntu, right = windows [15:37] there is some blur over ubuntu [15:37] AlexPortable: Emulator? [15:37] You could have said it, that's why, it's in no way Ubuntu'S fault. [15:38] AlexPortable, not gonna lie, I don't really see blur.. [15:38] Neither do I [15:38] what do you mean emulator? [15:38] AlexPortable: it's a different level of sub pixel rendering, look into whether you can tweak it. i have no idea [15:38] the left it's not sharp [15:38] If you like, you can change the antialiasing style for the font [15:38] while the text on the right is [15:39] Depends on your monitor. [15:39] hi, is there a way to make apt-get tell me from which source it's going to install a specific package? [15:39] acerspyro: well, i made a screenshot on windows, and one on ubuntu, and then moved them to the same machine [15:39] here is my question http://askubuntu.com/questions/543634/problems-with-folder-permissions-using-samba [15:39] so how does that depends on my monitor or system? [15:39] i guess that window is buzy, AlexPortable, just be patient [15:39] buzy? [15:39] AlexPortable: Ok, still, all you have to do is change your font antialiasing style [15:40] AlexPortable: myself and acerspyro have already told you what's up. [15:40] acerspyro: how? [15:40] * acerspyro googles for someone else again [15:41] AlexPortable: http://superuser.com/questions/819535/what-exactly-is-the-difference-between-grayscale-and-rgba-font-anti-aliasing [15:41] look at that GUI, it's in the Compiz settings menu [15:41] Pinkie_Pylon: did you create this other user prior to creating an smb password for it? [15:42] Anyone getting this? http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7801 [15:42] shouldn't have to on 14.04 IIRC but yes, it's a unix user with the same password as the smb user [15:42] Pinkie_Pylon: and none of these systems are in homegroups on Windows? those break things [15:42] P-NuT, CentOS is not supported here. [15:43] checking the logs for the second user I'm getting permission denied when they tried to access the folder, which is hosted in /media/james/shared [15:43] what command can I use to give everyone read and write access to that folder? [15:43] Pinkie_Pylon: you've added both users to a group, chown'd that path to the group and allowed relevant permissions yes? [15:44] acerspyro: greyscale / rgb doesn't really matters [15:44] AlexPortable: try other options [15:44] *checks what Windows is using* [15:44] daftykins, i'm a bit crap with unix so bear with me. the unix user is in the group sambashare [15:44] i'm just wondering if there is a unix command I can give to allow everyone access to the /shared folder [15:45] Pinkie_Pylon: pastebin the output of "ls -al /path/shared" [15:45] this is on a home LAN anyway so not much risk === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er [15:45] daftykins, will do [15:45] is there a GUI for upstart system services? [15:45] Pinkie_Pylon: might want to consider installing and checking out system-config-samba [15:45] Pinkie_Pylon: add all users you consider "everyone" to that group. Do NOT make it world writable [15:45] first off stop saying unix :P, second - it'd be samba that can share as guest only, not permissions [15:45] Anyone know what purpose dnsmasq serves in Ubuntu? It seems like it could be used as a DHCP server or for DNS caching. However DHCP isn't configured and its DNS cache is turned off. It seems to have something to do with NetworkManager but I don't know what purpose it would serve there. [15:45] Mail delivery failed via SMTP server 'localhost'. [15:45] Pinkie_Pylon: ^ [15:45] is this normal? [15:46] I am using sudo apt-get install postfix [15:47] http://pastebin.com/vJKh29VM [15:47] acerspyro: which other options? [15:47] idk not on my computer right now [15:47] :D [15:48] ah [15:48] AlexPortable: Go explore and figure it out? [15:48] ok [15:48] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/vJKh29VM [15:48] when installing ubuntu, do i have to choose UEFI or BIOS? [15:48] Pinkie_Pylon: yeah so you've got a permission and group mess there [15:48] AlexPortable: Depends on your BIOS type [15:49] thought as much, resulted from failed attempts to grant access [15:49] Newer computers usually use UEFI [15:49] if you don't pick the right one, it usually won't boot [15:49] daftykins, thought so. is there a command that will soft it out? [15:49] http://i.imgur.com/o9hbYA9.jpg [15:49] Oh, another question, is it possible to do BIOS upgrades under Linux? [15:49] that's really probably the worst photo I've seen [15:49] average: lol [15:49] Pinkie_Pylon: add your two users to a group, chown the path with that group, then set the group permissions to allow read and write as appropriate [15:50] wrong channel, average [15:50] OerHeks: i won't insist on that picture.. [15:50] average: Run, people be gettin' mad! [15:50] Pinkie_Pylon: first up "sudo chown -R user:group /media/james/shared" would bea good start [15:50] acerspyro: well i have both [15:50] AlexPortable: ? [15:50] acerspyro: i'm not running [15:50] i can choose between uefi and bios boot [15:50] acerspyro: so did you see the pic. did you like it ? [15:51] !ot | average [15:51] average: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:51] !ot > average [15:51] average: you're off topic, leave please. [15:51] average, please see my private message [15:51] haha [15:51] AlexPortable: in your BIOS, you mean? [15:51] daftykins, done [15:51] well, if you say it's so.. i guess i have to pack my bags and go === average is now known as jack [15:52] Pinkie_Pylon: you substituted 'user' and 'group' appropriately yeah? [15:52] jack: We clearly saw that [15:52] acerspyro: in the multiboot selection menu [15:52] AlexPortable: In Ubuntu? [15:52] no in my computer === jack is now known as Guest20817 [15:52] daftykins: did you see what i did there ? ^^ [15:52] daftykins, i used the group sambashare and did the command both for myself and the other user that i'm using [15:52] AlexPortable: Very descriptive [15:52] when i turn it on i can choose: UEFI: USBSTICK 4GB and BIOS: USBSTICK 4GB === Guest20817 is now known as jack22 [15:52] daftykins, and then rebooted smbd and nmbd [15:53] Oh, I thought you were wondering what kind of GRUB to install, mape yourself clear [15:53] make* [15:53] pick whichever you want [15:53] AlexPortable, so what did you choose last time? [15:53] flip a coin [15:53] Pinkie_Pylon: command? you can't haha, you can't set two different users on the same path. the users must be *members* of the group [15:53] OerHeks: last time i didn't had uefi [15:53] OerHeks: also on my other laptop with uefi it went wrong [15:53] !uefi [15:53] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [15:53] read that manual first i guess [15:53] daftykins, what should I do if I have two users that want to have the same permissions for the same folder then? [15:54] OerHeks: ty [15:54] Pinkie_Pylon: what i just said above. [15:54] daftykins, so do I leave the user blank? just do sudo chown -R :sambashare /path [15:54] I would love to fix my maximized window problem someday... [15:55] both users are members of the group [15:55] Pinkie_Pylon: just see if you can get in your test folder now. my battery's going so i'll be back shortly [15:56] " If the BIOS is set up to boot the CD in EFI mode, then you will see the screen below: " [15:56] i have that [15:56] http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png [15:57] AlexPortable: you've been in here for weeks, surely you have an install already [15:57] daftykins: yes, surely on an old pc [15:57] Hello All! Is there anyway I can have a different background for each of my monitors in ubuntu?? [15:57] where i don't have to deal with UEFI crap [15:58] Guest93716: I think so [15:58] AlexPortable: make your life easy and install ubuntu on single hd [15:58] lotuspsychje: well then how can i run battlefield 3?

Display settings? === Guest93716 is now known as whoppaz13 === SE is now known as Guest97381 [15:59] AlexPortable: make another box for gaming only [15:59] daftykins, still no joy i'm afraid [15:59] lotuspsychje: give me the money for it [15:59] also i't s annoying to move 2 laptops along to school [16:00] hi [16:00] Pinkie_Pylon: ok collect logs together and pastebin relevant sections and i'll bbl [16:00] acerspyro: I looked into display settings and it only lets me have 1 background for all my monitors =/ [16:00] daftykins, gotcha [16:00] whoppaz13: Hm. I know it's possible on KDE, but on GNOME... [16:00] How about the chatroom ? [16:01] acerspyro: you think there might be a package or somehting out there?? I'm using Unity [16:01] whoppaz13: I found Nitrogen with a quick google [16:01] http://askubuntu.com/questions/390367/using-different-wallpapers-on-multiple-monitors-gnome-2-compiz [16:02] acerspyro: ok cool I'll try that out then.

Create an empty partition of at least 10gb. Boot your usb. Then select the option "do something else" [16:14] can't I create the partition in ubuntu? [16:15] When I go to All Settings>Network>Options.... The options menu does not open up. Also the ethernet/network icon does not show up near the date. I am running ubuntu 14.04.

[16:32] because that's where efi partition from windows is [16:33] frodopwns: what does your work use for email protocol? like pop3? that can also be read with gmail google mail [16:33] alexportable, you will need to first create a partition using gparted in order to install [16:33] you cannot repartition your current machine using the installer [16:33] sacarlson: exchange [16:33] i already did guzzi_jones [16:34] repartition using installer [16:34] made my windows partition 130 gb smaller [16:34] now putting an partition on the free space [16:34] ok.. didn't know you could do that. [16:34] ok so what is your question [16:34] AlexPortable: Oh cool. Now click on + button below [16:34] yes [16:34] but it asks me for mount point [16:34] no suggestions for me? [16:34] AlexPortable: Select the type as swap. And give it as 2-4 fb [16:35] why only 4 gb? [16:35] AlexPortable: It's swap. [16:35] I have 8 gb internal ram [16:36] Ok.. Then select 8gb. It doesn't matter, I guess. [16:37] frodopwns: microsoft exchange can be imported into gmail, ms exchange uses standard imap or pop3 format that gmail can handle [16:37] AlexPortable: After swap is done, create a new parition with filesystem type ext4 and mount point as "/" [16:37] frodopwns: https://support.google.com/a/answer/57920?hl=en === leixing is now known as lioin [16:38] frodopwns: but linux has other apps that can also read imap and pop3, gmail is just my personal preference [16:39] AlexPortable jeelmr it is interesting swap having at minimum the RAM size [16:39] sacarlson: i lso need to be able to accept meeting invitations via mail [16:39] 8 gb ram <-> 8 gb swap [16:39] which device for boot loader installation ? [16:39] AlexPortable jeelmr in order to hibernate the computer successfully [16:40] computer stores hibernate on swap partition? [16:40] anyone here good with samba and permissions? [16:40] julianofischer: Oh Alright [16:40] so i should have 16 gb swap? [16:40] yes [16:40] ok [16:40] and which device for boot loader installation? [16:40] frodopwns: oh maybe you have some meeting deal integrated into exchange like google has the google calender but I'm not sure if import for that is suported [16:40] I think something higher than RAM its better [16:40] Nitrogen doesn't seem to work for the seperate backgrounds in ubuntu 14.04 and unity. Would this work beter with either KDE or Gnome?

[18:11] haidora: for what purpose? [18:11] haidora, Is this a wireless issue, do you reach the net plugged in? [18:11] bubbasaures: ok [18:12] my wierless is working fine but i want to know how to connect to a wifi using wps pin [18:12] webb1wd, I would include a pastebin of the setup with sudo parted -l in your inquiry, I would like to see it if possible. [18:13] bubbasaures: ok i will now go boot with live cd,im on another pc. === Swaglord is now known as Guest14533 [18:14] wud up [18:14] webb1wd, Can you be on the channel from that live, that in general is best. [18:15] or at least have access quickly [18:15] hello all, I'm at remote locate trying to fix a dualboot laptop Debian 7 / Ubuntu 14.04 Debian boots ok, but the Ubuntu image keeps dumping into a low graphics error screen. Whenever I try to update grub ( I suspect the UUID is hosed up in fstab), fsck just hangs up. Theres also an error on the boot splash stating the UUID is not mounted yet. Any Ideas how to resolve this? [18:16] help how to launch network-manager from terminal? [18:16] ki7mt, Updating grub wont change the graphics. [18:17] bubbasaures: i will have quick access the other pc is slow with mozilla cause it live cd. [18:17] bubbasaures, Yes, I know, but I can't get into a r/w partition as the fsck keeps hangin up, so I thought updateing grub may fix that, but wasn't sure. [18:17] ki7mt: are you fsck'ing from a live session? [18:18] ki7mt: have you checked the disk is ok from its' SMART info? [18:18] daftykins, No, I dont have access to a CD here. [18:18] ki7mt: ok i would not try and fsck via this means. you need bootable media [18:18] or do it from debian [18:19] daftykins, ok, well I can boot int the Debian side just fine if that helps. [18:19] ki7mt: ok, it'd be nice to confirm the disk is healthy before proceeding with the fsck. [18:20] if you are going to fsck with debian wear a jiffy [18:20] daftykins, Ok, how to proceed ? /dev/sda1 is Debian, sev/sda3 is ubuntu and /dev/sda5 is swap [18:20] that's not helpful, Filthy. [18:20] .. /dev/sda3 .. [18:20] bubbasaures: hi [18:20] ki7mt: get smartmontools installed under debian and run "smartctl -a /dev/sda" to check the SMART output is fine [18:20] Hey there, I was around the previous two day for a freeze at boot. I have new information and could use some advice [18:20] bubbasaures: im talking from the ubuntu machine. [18:21] I finally found a way to get the system to output the errors encountered during boot [18:21] Why isn't screencloud in the repos anymore? [18:21] Which necessitated a removal of $vthandoff and adding text --verbose nomodeset nosplash in the boot line [18:22] And the result is that it stops right after printing loading initial ramdisk [18:22] daftykins, Ok, installing [18:22] Any advice? [18:22] привет [18:22] bubbasaures: here is my parted -l paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/8749968/ [18:24] bubbasaures, Thanks that worked [18:24] that threw my touch 90' off now ;) [18:24] daftykins, Only thing of interest, it spit back power on lifetime message. [18:25] RaMcHiP-Mobile, Cool, no problem. [18:25] ki7mt: i'm afraid i can't follow that sentence at all. if you could pastebin the smartctl output that would be helpful [18:26] webb1nd, So I see one HD, 1 TB, any others? [18:26] daftykins, Sri, the only Error Message presented was Error 81, at disk power-on lifetime: 31136 hours (1297 days + 18 houts ) [18:26] daftykins, the rest looked ok [18:26] RaMcHiP-Mobile, Ah, not sure on the touch part, heh. [18:26] bubbasaures: that is sdb,sda it says "Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sda " [18:27] bubbasaures: and i also have a new one unplugged now. [18:27] ki7mt: can you not pastebin it anyway? not sure if debian has the package 'pastebinit' [18:27] daftykins, I'll check [18:27] webb1nd, I would see what sda looks like in gparted on the live. [18:28] the sda HD [18:28] bubbasaures: so to burn gparted on cd and then boot from it? [18:28] can u name me the best kali group????? [18:28] how do I set the LANG locale in ubuntu, /etc/default/locale file doesn't work [18:28] webb1nd, gparted is on the live. [18:29] daftykins, Im going to long into IRC from the Debian box, make this easier. It has pastebinit. [18:29] bubbasaures:i understand now okay. [18:29] webb1nd, I just wonder if that HD shows anything, what was on there exactly? [18:29] "Your Ubuntu 14.04 experienced an internal problem" keeps poping now and then with tracker-extract crashing [18:30] daftykins, http://paste.debian.net/129467/ [18:30] bubbasaures: there was /home and / [18:30] bubbasaures: also swap [18:30] webb1nd: can you help me sir [18:30] webb1nd, Any windows, ntfs...etc? [18:31] linus_, Wait for help, don't ask randomly. [18:31] ki7mt: that disk is toast, see lines 61 and 72 [18:31] ki7mt: copy the data off onto another drive from all OSs and replace it [18:31] webb1nd: no,i was using it right before i installed the new hdd.I booted it up yesterday. [18:31] Ya, I have to do some research now. This will be my first touch screen project and I need to do it 90' rotated ;) [18:31] When trying to run '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service' I get 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface (g-dbus-error-quark, 16)', but I am doing this outside of unity. Any idea what I should have run first? [18:31] bubbasaures: how do I get in line? [18:31] webb1nd: and sure it didnt have any ntfs partitions [18:32] linus_, No line, it is just you state your issue, and any one who wants to and knows the answers talks with you is all. [18:32] daftykins, Is this due to age or something or just a general failure ? [18:33] ki7mt: could be both, bad sectors can be due to a laptop that's dropped, general failure of heads coming in contact with platters, many things really [18:33] how do I set the LANG locale in ubuntu, /etc/default/locale file doesn't work [18:33] how do I set the LANG locale in ubuntu, /etc/default/locale file doesn't work [18:33] how do I set the LANG locale in ubuntu, /etc/default/locale file doesn't work [18:33] "Your Ubuntu 14.04 experienced an internal problem" keeps poping now and then with tracker-extract crashing [18:33] daftykins, Ok, I guess the the section that the Debian is on must be ok, as that's what Im on now. [18:33] webb1nd, sda was a gpt setup as well? This a former windows uefi bios? [18:34] anybody got any ideas what may be the reason [18:34] linus_, what version of Ubuntu. (and no need to flood the question multiple times) [18:34] linus_: read! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [18:34] Ubuntu 12.04 :ansivirus [18:34] ki7mt: it may be, but this issue may very well get worse, so you need to consider this disk dead and backup immediately [18:35] daftykins, Yup understand. The only thing of value on the Ubuntu partition is the GPG keys. [18:35] linus_, what are you trying to set it to? [18:36] ansivirus: I have this in /etc/default/locale : LANG=en_US.utf8 [18:36] bubbasaures: I had moved it from a windows pc to this pc.:S the sda.Also it is gpt system. [18:36] daftykins, I've already backed up most of user directory. Just wondering if I can get keys off it before scrapping it. [18:37] how to make a linux app?? [18:37] ki7mt: yeah, just mount the volumes read-only and perform small tasks one at a time - so you don't lose too much if it freezes up [18:37] bubbasaures: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/8750150/ [18:37] linus_, in /etc/default/local put LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and LANGUAGE="en_US:en" then in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local put en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 then issue command locale-gen and init 6 to reboot [18:38] haidora, make a program, compile it [18:39] i want to know how to make a program? [18:39] haidora, choose the programming language first, then do it === BL4cKR4Bb1t is now known as Guest20118 [18:40] webb1nd, I would take your setup to someone who knows this stuff. It is not beyond help here, or on forums but needs a clear outline. I don't see that happening here is all. [18:40] did you try to make one? [18:42] bubbasaures: ok bubbasaures im glad for helping me out.Do you suggest posting on forums? [18:42] haidora: google for articles similar to the following http://www.opensourceforu.com/2010/05/write-your-next-program-on-linux/ [18:43] webb1nd, Do you have any friends who know this area well? [18:43] bubbasaures: no i dont.

[18:50] nou en? [18:51] linus_, did you logout/login to let the changes take effect? [18:51] HaaPut, I just noticed a time on it's running, not familiar with it so wondering. [18:51] OerHeks: yes I did everything perfectly [18:51] hi, i recently upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04.. The upgrade reported a failure halfway through, and then asked me to continue `dpkg --configure -a`. I have not restarted the machine yet.. Can I have some help locating the error log, so you I can show it to you please? [18:51] OarHeks: What you mean vendor? [18:52] OerHeks: What you mean vendor? [18:52] Marasgeon, the maker of your machine [18:52] OerHeks: so there is no command or program that can made my reader recognize the SDHC cards? [18:53] webb1nd, Just keep trying here, someone eventually will get more help for you. === Gl-l0ST is now known as BL4cKR4Bb1t === Nao is now known as Scorppp [18:53] Marasgeon, it is a harware limit, not software, or does that cardreader work well with SDHC cards in windows ? [18:53] Bonsoir [18:53] bubbasaures: ok [18:54] OerHeks, yes it does [18:54] the upgraded was from 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04. First step happened flawlessly.. but the 2nd reported failures.. [18:54] hello, sometimes my browser (Chrome) is able to defeat the login screen after the screen dims [18:54] I'm on 14.10 [18:54] but it's done it before [18:55] I wonder how that is possible [18:55] Marasgeon, does ubuntu read sd cards well? [18:55] yes [18:55] how do I set the LANG locale in ubuntu 12.04 server version, /etc/default/locale file doesn't work [18:55] Marasgeon, then i have no clue [18:55] It usually happens when playing full screen flash video [18:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale [18:56] kasunbg, After running 'dpkg --configure -a' what happened? [18:56] OerHeks: I followed those instructions but this happened https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/165059/how-to-set-lang-in-locale-despite-its-in-etc-default-locale-in-ubuntu-for-uni [18:56] bubbasaures it takes input from stdin so I guess it will wait for 30 seconds for input before quitting [18:57] bubbasaures, that went fine.. at the end it warned the upgrade didn't happen properly, so the system might be unstable. [18:58] bubbasaures, i'm yet to restart the machine.. Everything else seem to work fine. Suspend, and waking up also works fine [18:58] kasunbg, Ah, were or are you backed up off the drive, or somewhere? [18:59] bubbasaures, nope.. but i have a separate root partition.. [18:59] kasunbg, I would use a the sudo apt-get -f install command if needed at any failure point to see if any installs need finishing. [19:00] When trying to run '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service' I get 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface (g-dbus-error-quark, 16)', but I am doing this outside of unity. Any idea what I should have run first? [19:00] linus_, if i follow the good manual, sudo locale-gen && sudo locale-gen en_US.utf8 #and reboot [19:01] kasunbg, Kinda a foolish upgrade really, okay if your backed up, with a separate home you could have just installed 14.04 [19:01] OerHeks: I already did that, it doesn't work, it says up-to-date anyway [19:02] bubbasaures, hmm.. yea.. but i wanted to keep the configuration files of apache2 etc. [19:02] OerHeks: how do I see if it works I run locale and see LANG=en_US right, but I see LANG= ... [19:03] linus_, just type 'locale' === Owner is now known as Guest20129 [19:03] bubbasaures, would apt-get -f install have any bad side-effects.. i once removed ubuntu-desktop while trying to remove some qt libs <>.. so, wanted to know there won't be mishaps like that [19:03] OerHeks: it outputs LANG= . So i guess it doesn't work right [19:04] kasunbg, -f install is just to finish stopped package installs. Did you use eol upgrade here? [19:06] bubbasaures, i had a fresh 13.04. Last month i upgraded the EOLed 13.04 to 13.10. Then, upgraded to 14.04 y'day [19:07] !eol | kasunbg Did you follow the eol upgrade sources.list change from eolupgrade here [19:07] kasunbg Did you follow the eol upgrade sources.list change from eolupgrade here: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

But not for 13.10 since the saucy repo is not moved to old-releases yet. [19:10] bubbasaures, i just ran the said command. it didn't do anything.

[19:13] they can take the battery out, or press the power button [19:14] anyone familiar with cssh ? Or generally with operating many VMs with different passwords? [19:14] nuke1989: Whats the problem with that? [19:14] nuke1989: try salt instead of ssh [19:15] bubbasaures, ok.. i probably don't have to do `apt-get autoremove`.. since it asks to remove some packages i love dearly. [19:15] well i am controlling around 18 VMs and i loging 3 times each day typing the exact commands. Problem is every VM has different password. And it takes time.... [19:16] i will check salt [19:16] nopf: Use key based auth then. [19:16] hello [19:16] Seveas: battery can't be taken out. power button does nothing [19:16] bekks, i cant....Big story... [19:17] nuke1989: So you have to type in the passwords. [19:17] i wonder if cssh or something similar can take passwords from a file [19:17] kasunbg, Sometimes they are removed, if 3rd party...etc, problem here is that really you have not provided enough detail to really help. Had you come on here before, mots would say fresh install. [19:17] zymm, for wine issues you better join #winehq [19:17] bekks, yes [19:17] most* [19:17] nuke1989: Taking the password from a files is "key based auth". [19:18] bubbasaures, yea.. i don't which error log i shud point u to.. the /var/log/dpkg.log doesn't seems to be useful :( [19:18] bekks, doesnt key based auth need changes on the VMs ? [19:18] bekks: yes, that's best in most cases :) [19:18] nuke1989: you need to tell each VM to accept your specific key, yes. [19:19] kasunbg, I can't really sieve out the truth here on your issues, ;) maybe others can. [19:19] bubbasaures, i will probably try a restart tomorrow, and do a fresh install if it giving me trouble at the cost all my configurations [19:19] bekks, problem is that the VMs reset every day... [19:19] bubbasaures, sure thing.. thanks anyway.. [19:19] nuke1989: So change the template where those vms are recreated from. [19:20] hi everybody [19:20] greetings!

[20:06] desktop [20:06] basically, I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed on a USB (it has to be 8.10 because of some old drivers) [20:06] I installed it onto my hard drive [20:06] I set 1GB of persistent storage when I made the usb [20:06] gorillaz, do you have mesa-utils installed [20:07] ansivirus: see my updated pastebin, I followed your instructions, http://pastebin.com/p4pbRr0k, now LANGUAGE is set, but LANG is still empty, is that allright? [20:07] is there a way to move everything saved on my usb's filesystem to my hard drive? [20:07] drivers etc [20:07] BluesKaj mesa-utils: command not found [20:07] because the .deb I downloaded yesterday is no longer available [20:07] bekks: everything worked out nicely :) Thanks [20:08] Is there a way to move drivers from my Live USB to my installed Ubuntu system? [20:08] Drivers that I have installed on my live USB [20:08] gorillaz, sudo apt- get install mesa-utils [20:09] BluesKaj installed [20:09] reboot? [20:09] gorillaz: No. [20:10] Can someone help me with my issue? [20:10] noobieneedshelp: 8.10 is end of live for a long time now. Just move your personal data and reinstall a new 14.04 [20:10] Bekks [20:10] I need to use 8.10 [20:10] I don't want anything else [20:11] noobieneedshelp: It is unsupported. [20:11] I just want to move the drivers from my live usb to my system [20:11] how can I do that? [20:11] which folders? [20:11] Hey there. I screwed up my Ubuntu quite a lot and stuff isn't working that I want to work. And reinstalling is probably the easiest and fastest way to fix all this. [20:12] noobieneedshelp: That won;t happen, 8.01 isn't supported for about 2-3 years [20:12] Now the reinstallation page says: it is possible to reinstall Ubuntu without losing the content of the /home folder [20:12] ffs [20:12] Sheepolution: Only if /home is on a separate filesystem. [20:12] If I wanted to move drivers from my live usb to my system in 14.04 [20:12] how would I do that? [20:12] would I move a folder? [20:12] is there an application for it? [20:12] noobieneedshelp: You dont have 14.04. And you cant "move drivers" that way. [20:13] noobieneedshelp: You have to install a supported release. [20:13] why? [20:13] bekks: Oh? The page doesn't say that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation [20:13] noobieneedshelp: Because 8.10 is unsupported. [20:13] I have to use 8.10 because the drivers have not been updated for a supported release [20:13] there is no other option [20:13] drivers for what? [20:13] my 56k modem [20:14] the last supported kernel was 2.6.27-7 [20:14] But it's a bit vague for me what files I keep and not. [20:14] noobieneedshelp: You'll nedd to contact your modem supplier [20:14] doesn't exist anymore [20:14] And I'm afraid that I will keep files that might be the ones causing the problems. [20:14] they merged with another company [20:14] and no longer offer support [20:14] the driver works on my live usb [20:14] I just want to move it [20:14] noobieneedshelp: Thats too bad, but it doesnt make your 8.10 being supported. [20:15] does ubuntu server have a mail server built in, or do I need to install that? [20:15] I'm a noob. [20:15] cubby_: you need to install it. [20:15] bekks: seriously. this isn't about the version, it's about moving my drivers [20:15] Thanks, bekks [20:15] bekks: is there no way to move my drivers? [20:15] noobieneedshelp: Seriously, 8.10 is out of support. [20:15] noobieneedshelp: No, there is no way to just "move" drivers. [20:16] bekks: that's all you had to tell me. ty. [20:16] noobieneedshelp: I did, two times already. [20:16] what modem exactly? [20:17] BluesKaj no other workaounds? [20:18] hi all [20:19] I can't start transmission due to a bug when I added a specific .torrent file [20:19] how can start a new session of transmission? [20:20] or delete al .torrent files that are downloading in transmission? [20:21] OK! I give up, why can't I restart the networking service? I've added a static IP definition in /etc/network/interfaces but it won't let me restart the network daemon and the old static IP is still set on reboot [20:22] the static IP that it keeps setting was set during install [20:22] if that helps [20:22] K4k have you tried from the wingpanel? [20:22] Which Wacom tablets are fully compatible with Ubuntu? [20:22] gorillaz: what's the wingpanel? [20:22] i mean from the dropmenu Enable Networking [20:22] taskbar [20:22] This is a headless server, no gui [20:23] alo21, remove /home//.config/transmission/settings.json and restart transmission? [20:23] i m out [20:23] OerHeks: it's an Agere 11c11040 [20:23] lol [20:23] ;) [20:23] I found a driver for my kernel but the download is not working [20:23] * K4k pops his head in to #ubuntu-server [20:23] any ideas where I might be able to find a mirror for a download? [20:24] OerHeks: I still have torrent in downloading [20:24] anyone know why apt is downloading at 5-75 KB/s when I can download an ISO from the same mirror at 1.5+ MB/s? Using HTTP for apt and the iso... [20:25] br1ckd: just try running the auto select mirror or pick another one manually [20:26] alo21, remove them from config/transmission/torrents/ and /resume/ ? [20:27] hey guys - would a 56k dial up connection using my pc as a server be stable in a Live USB? [20:27] Would the connection be stable and fast enough? === zz_freyes is now known as freyes [20:28] ahoi I read ubuntu 14.10 claims to do be able to do something like coreos. As a fact I didn't find out by what means? Is there docker integration for juju? Is there something else? [20:29] noobieneedshelp, 56k dial up? im not sure if that still exist. if it does... dude seriously? [20:29] it's not for internet browsing [20:29] it's for my dreamcast lol [20:29] hello, i'd like to try ubuntu touch with the ubuntu emulator [20:29] so it can play games online using my pc as a server [20:30] my phone gets 20mbps. i didnt know a company would still offer 56k. what would you do on it? [20:30] do you recomend me the ubuntu emulator included in the repositories of 14.04 or the phablet ppa? [20:30] http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/guides/pc-dc-server-guide-win7/#step3 [20:30] this explains it [20:30] arm or i386 image? [20:31] basically, instead of a dial-up ISP you use a computer as a router of sorts to play online [20:31] yeah pretty sure 56k wont do any games. when i used to run a multiplayer KSP server most clients avr'd at 100 kbps. [20:31] mightcould3: this isn't for po games [20:31] read the link [20:31] it's designed for 56k [20:31] pc* [20:31] I probably know the answer, but just to be sure: If I installed Ubuntu on Drive A and have files on Drive B, and I reinstall Ubuntu completely, Drive B will be unharmed right? [20:32] I'm paranoid [20:32] yes SHeep [20:32] Drive B will be fine [20:32] well isnt that cute. good luck with it. dreamcast was one of my fav consoles :D [20:32] yeah it's great [20:34] Is there a way to 'merge' my Live USB filesystem with a hard disk-installed Ubuntu's filesystem? [20:34] Paramezius: the ppa, definitely [20:34] Like, move the all the files on my live usb filesystem to the hdd one? [20:35] popey, do you mean the phablet ppa? [20:35] the ubuntu sdk ppa, yes [20:35] for all of the sdk, what release you on? [20:38] hello [20:41] someone change their name to skylake [20:42] Is it worthwhile to install Mir on my laptop (ubuntu 14.10)? === charles_ is now known as Guest49770 [20:42] if you change your name to skylake [20:42] How much things will break? Can I switch back to xorg? [20:43] popey, i'm on 14.04 [20:43] benzhninja: and that's the dev of Mir? [20:43] please === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [20:43] OerHeks: it works thanks :) [20:44] alo21, have fun === benzhninja is now known as broadwell [20:44] Anyone here good with touch screens? I installed ubuntu 14.04 and use xrandr to rotate the screen -90'. Now when I do xinput_calibrator it pops the calibration screen up but it only shows the right hand side of the sccreen [20:45] is there any way to get my touch to rotate as well? [20:45] Paramezius: so yes, definitely use the ppa [20:45] How can I enable my trash in Ubuntu? [20:47] What user runs the "nfs auto mount"-thingy? === PriceChild is now known as Pricey [20:49] the_drow_: do you plan to test unity8? [20:49] popey, thanks a lot. One more thing. do you recomend me the arm or the i386 image? === pbx is now known as pbx-afk [20:50] Paramezius: the i386 one is way faster [20:51] thanks a lot popey :) [20:51] the_drow_: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/mir-devel/2014-October/000908.html [20:52] how do i use ntfs as root fs [20:52] you don't [20:52] why not [20:52] Paramezius: no problem, #ubuntu-app-devel is where other like minded devs hang out [20:52] brainwash: hahahaha [20:53] how can I add a user to a group? "sudo adduser username groupname"? [20:53] Squidward: ntfs doesn't support some of the things we need (like symlinks) [20:53] oh [20:54] hi, does anyone know how to get more than 30hz with 2560x1440 over HDMI with an intel graphics hd 4400? [20:54] solars: dont you need dual dvi for that? [20:54] popey, well I got 30hz working [20:54] popey, but I have no clue and it's a laptop with only hdmi [20:55] solars: pretty sure it needs dual dvi to get higher bandwidth.. i may be wrong [20:55] solars: from googling it looks like that video card doesn't support it [20:55] solars: e.g. https://communities.intel.com/thread/30360 [20:56] popey, I found this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/2560x1440-or-2560x1600-via-HDMI.92840.0.html [20:56] "Intel graphics does not support dual-link, therefore 1920x1200 is the maximum for DVI and HDMI, 2560x1440 is only possible with a displayport port" [20:56] well I currently run 2560x1440@30hz [20:56] right, which is as high as you can get [20:57] hi. i just updated 14.04 -> 14.10, and my kernel version is 3.14.x. How can I get to 3.16.x? I need the HW support. thx [20:57] popey, there is also the option with 50 as written in the link I posted [20:57] but I'm not sure if that's only for the hd 4000 [20:57] Xaphod2: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic [20:57] thanks will try that [20:57] np [20:58] Xaphod2: the upgrade _should_ have updated to that [20:58] Xaphod2: you may want to also run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^" to see if there's anything else missing (assumiung you use unity based ubuntu and not kubuntu/xubuntu etc) [20:58] I think i might have uninstalled the generic, in favor for a specific 3.14.x, because there was some 3.14.x update that didn’t work for me [20:58] Xaphod2: note that hat ^ [20:59] that might have done it, yes [20:59] thanks ok will check that. What does the carat mean? [20:59] re-install the task, which will pull in any missing bits that should be there [20:59] "mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd." -- what do? I don't want local locks(bad when multiple users from different machines using the same storage?). "sudo service statd" -> running. Help?! [20:59] popey, did you see the statement about 50hz? [21:00] solars: i did. dunno what to say. [21:00] solars: pretty sure you've hit the max HDMI can do === broadwell is now known as notlove [21:00] :/ [21:00] well for working 30hz is okay === notlove is now known as benzhninja [21:01] I use the laptop only for work [21:02] hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu and i would like to know if there is a channel for specific questions if there are any problems === kpease_ is now known as kpease [21:03] Faultier: this is the support channel [21:03] okay thanks [21:04] !ask [21:04] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === max__ is now known as Guest32756 [21:05] Faultier: yeah, you found it, welcome! :D [21:05] im confushed about hostnames, should i use ubuntu or ubuntu.domain.net when i am asked during installation, i plan on having it resolve from an A record [21:05] you can use either and modify it later [21:05] its not crucial to set the hostname in stone during install [21:06] i'm just wondering why ubuntu hasn´t xchat pre-installed like Mint [21:06] Faultier: most users dont use irc [21:06] Logicwrath: the hostname is "yourhostname" and the full qualified domain name is "yourhostname.domain.tld" [21:06] (strange though that seems) [21:06] to be clear, during installation it is requesting hostname and not fqdn [21:07] so i should skip the fqdn during install? [21:07] Logicwrath: i generally just put hostname, and modify after. [21:07] Logicwrath: you can, yes. [21:07] Logicwrath: Actually it is just requesting a hostname. [21:07] it will work fine, you can modify it after [21:07] is it better to define a fqdn during install? [21:07] it doesnt matter [21:07] compdoc: It doesnt matter :) [21:07] Popey What do you mean most users dont use irc in ubuntu, what do they use instead? [21:07] takes 2 mins to change later [21:07] Faultier: most Ubuntu users don't use IRC at all [21:08] so how do they get help if they need it? [21:08] how do they wind up here?? [21:08] Filthy: Using forumns, e.g. [21:08] .o/ [21:08] Faultier: depends, people may have technical friends, or family [21:08] i dont rly like forums and familiar things [21:08] or they might use forums, askubuntu or mailing lists [21:09] we have a _lot_ of support options, irc is just one [21:09] Faultier: you dont have to, but others do. [21:09] i know ^ [21:09] Im trying to use libpam-ldap libnss-ldap but for some reason the AD account must also exist locally for SSH to work.. Anyone have any idea why that is? pretty basic and plain config. === sc0tty__ is now known as Sc0tty- [21:09] there's 1800 people here, which represents 0.003% or so of the ubuntu userbase ☻ [21:09] has anyone got Xchat to work with tor inside a VM? [21:09] CoC_towlie: People did, yes. [21:10] see, in my enviremont i am the only one using linux and i'm thinking about to replace my win 7 with ubuntu [21:10] i followed this guide verbatim but xchat can not connect [21:11] lilith-lela.bogspot.com/2012/01/xchat-with-tor-for-freenode-on.html [21:12] Nice try. Spam link. Ignore set. [21:13] I also only get spam in that link. [21:14] hopefully links2 doesn't help out much === cups is now known as doge [21:15] Schrodingers Cat, Are you there?? [21:17] OK, fixed the xinput_calibration problem, had to disable a 2nd screen. Now when I do the calibration is seems to accept it but doesnt stick. [21:17] Hi [21:18] RaMcHiP-Mobile: run it from a terminal [21:18] I am [21:18] I ran xinput_calibration from terminal [21:18] shoudl I do it before the desktop starts? [21:18] RaMcHiP-Mobile: doesn't it tell you exactly what to do to make the calibration permanent? [21:18] I have an Ubuntu live usb. If I were to use it as a dialup server on my computer, would the connection be stable/fast enough (for a 56k connection)? [21:19] Let me double check, not that I could see [21:19] I'm talking about a PC-Dreamcast dial-up connection btw [21:19] dialupnewb: a 56k connection is not fast enough for almost anything nowadays. [21:19] RaMcHiP-Mobile: it gave me a text. something like take this snippet and put it in usr/shareblabla [21:19] bekks: it's the correct speed for the dreamcast modem [21:19] look it up [21:19] it's a dialup connection [21:20] dialupnewb: my understanding is all functionality got turned off for the DC anyway. [21:20] dialupnewb: I'd put a bet on it probably would work, maybe little laggy, but once it's up it should be good? [21:20] is there a way to make it show my real time touches?? [21:20] daftykins: the servers were turned off. however, it's pretty easy to use a pc as one with linux [21:20] so I can where its registering relative to my touches? [21:21] SchrodingersScat: I'll try it as soon as I get an RJ11 cable online. Thanks. [21:21] dialupnewb: a PC as one what? [21:21] A dialup server [21:21] dialupnewb: right but what does getting it online allow you to do?

[21:22] *grub2 [21:22] SchrodingersScat: would the connection be any different in terms of stability to a hard-disk installed Ubuntu? [21:23] because I do have Ubuntu on my HDD, it's just that the drivers for my modem are on the USB and I can't figure out how to move them :( [21:23] dialupnewb: while i had a dreamcast, and played some PSO, I don't know how I could estimate that :/ [21:23] you sold the DC? [21:24] cognitiaclaeves: Depends on what got broke where, maybe as simple as (re-)installing grub from a liveDVD. Is this a EFI based system ? [21:24] Bashing-om, I don't think it is. I disabled it from BIOS and it still seems to boot. [21:24] vote charlie baker ma 2014 [21:24] cognitiaclaeves: I would go Bashing-om [21:25] route of fixing [21:25] vote charlie baker ma 2014 [21:25] Bashing-om, Does it need to be installed from a liveDVD? I booted into Ubuntu using supergrub 2. [21:25] cognitiaclaeves: Let's look, and make sure of what we are working with : sudo parted -l | pastebinit . [21:27] cognitiaclaeves: Nopoe, IF you can boot into the install .. just figure out weather it is a EFI partition involved. and try to (re)-install grub, see what happens.

Stuff like RealVNC and Teamviewer obviously connect directly to the server and are not session based. [21:29] Semajnad: Do you have more than one user?

[21:30] Bashing-om, do I reinstall grub with grub-install ? [21:30] ikonia: I installed some drivers on the usb (persistent storage of 1GB) [21:30] Semajnad: you can have permissions such that parts of your home are accessible by others [21:30] dialupnewb: which ones ? [21:30] ikonia: I'd like to access those drivers as I can't download them anymore [21:30] Semajnad: It really doesn't matter. Just the current user's directory would be fine. Just create direcory /home/Semajnad/Share [21:30] quitte: If we are running game servers, what's the best way to do it.

I do not know how grub works with encrypted partitions. [21:31] dialupnewb: define "not working for you" [21:31] ikonia: it won't download [21:31] Semajnad: Have it owned by a group that You're user and the oters also belong to. [21:31] Bashing-om, /boot ( sda5 ) is not encrypted. [21:31] Semajnad: well that sounds like the admin is the owner. then it goes in /usr/local/ [21:31] ikonia: network timeout. I think it's down [21:32] dialupnewb: what version of ubuntu are you using [21:32] quitte: We have 3 admins who manage them. So I don't want any of them owning the files inidividually. So I created a group called server-admin and made the 3 users owners of that group. My plan was to use a shared place to store the files, make the group own the files, then let the individuaal users manage them that waya. [21:32] ikonia: outdated but that isn't really relevant. 8.10 [21:32] cognitiaclaeves: Thgink'n . [21:32] it is relevant [21:32] ikonia: and no I can't nor do I want to upgrade [21:32] users of that group sorry* [21:32] think'n* [21:32] Semajnad: so make a directory group writable in /home ? [21:32] dialupnewb: ok, then support ends [21:33] ikonia: ikr [21:33] quitte: Okay thanks, I'll do that then. Just create /home/server-files [21:33] this channel only supports in support release, so good luck, find the module in the kernel tree and move it across to your other system [21:33] good luck === kpease is now known as kpease_ [21:34] Bashing-om, just tell me how it would work without encryption... [21:34] Semajnad: look into the set group id bit [21:34] quitte: How do I create a directory in /home when a normal aadministrator account does not have access? Should you enable root to do this or is there a preferred way. [21:35] Semajnad: http://xkcd.com/149/ [21:36] how is that helpful ? [21:36] quitte: Oh damn ye [21:36] quitte: Thanks [21:36] *And the penny drops* [21:37] self validating : http://pastebin.com/QnHSbAYj [21:37] lultron: ? [21:37] topic validated in 372 lines [21:37] Bashing-om, I think I found my answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2_from_a_Working_System [21:38] lultron: it's nothing to do with this channel, or any of the other channels your posting it in [21:38] cognitiaclaeves: Again I am not at all sure, but maybe try: -> sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda <- from the ubuntu install. see if sda5 /boot is picked up. [21:38] lultron: please stick to ubuntu discussion in this channel [21:38] The reinstall page says that I must use the same username and password, but that's only when doing a soft reinstall right? [21:38] can't get VPN to connect. http://pastebin.ca/2866453 <-- anything in there stand out as an obvious issue? [21:38] quitte, Yes I got that but the config does not work [21:38] ikonia it is discussed in the article how best to use ubuntu [21:38] so i find you incorrect [21:38] Where I don't reset the homefolder [21:38] quitte, it tells me to make a script that runs at startup [21:38] Semajnad: groupadd -g 211 wheel && usemod -a -G wheel Semajnad #And add other users to it in the same way. And then have the directory owned by the group. mkdir /home/Semajnad/Share && sudo chown Semajnad:wheel /home/Semajnad/Share [21:38] you didn't read it [21:38] rtfm and stfu tx [21:38] lultron: again - nothing to do with this channel [21:39] http://pastebin.com/QnHSbAYj you decide [21:39] del_: ubuntu doesn't use wheel [21:39] del_: I don't get it :/ I was just going to do chown on the /home/shared-files folder to the group? [21:39] quitte, but it does not work in the first place :(. It appears that is KNOWS what is wrong and that it needs to reverse the axis as well so I am a little confused [21:39] Ben64: ubuntu uses any group you want it to. [21:39] Bashing-om, hmm ... hadn't heard of --recheck [21:39] del_: ok well, wheel has no effect === qwerty is now known as Guest73980 [21:40] del_: Oh thaat's just adding Semaajnaad to the group wheel (sorry for the aaaa's btw, my keyboard is screwed atm) [21:40] Ben64: wheel is just a name [21:40] del_: Semajnad already has a group name, why change it? and why change it to wheel [21:41] cognitiaclaeves: --recheck does just that .. if files are missing will create them. [21:41] Ben64: It is the name of a group [21:41] Thanks, Bashing-om . I'm going to give it a shot now. [21:41] Ben64: del_ I've changed the users daniel, felix and nathan to the group server-admin, then going to make server-admin own /home/shared-files [21:41] Semajnad: yep [21:41] Ben64: Nice. [21:41] del_: Thanks [21:42] Ben64: A user can be member of as many groups as you want. [21:42] del_: you're not understanding [21:42] Last question, what's the best waay to remote connect to ubuntu-desktop. I tried VNC servers but they don't connect using sessions, they just connect directly. I want it so when I connect it asaks for the users login / password :/ [21:42] I tried XRDP but people said it wont work with ubuntu-desktop [21:43] Ben64: *You* are not understanding. groupadd creates a *new* group. (I just use the name wheel as an example. You can use any group name you want, but wheel will work just fine.) [21:43] del_: but he already has a group! why add another! why wheel! wheel is used in other distros for something very particular! [21:43] Having MAJOR problem with 750 Ti crashing Unity/Compiz [21:43] Ubuntu 14.10 [21:44] RaMcHiP-Mobile: I have the same problem, I think [21:44] RaMcHiP-Mobile: bay trail tablet per chance? [21:44] When trying to run '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service' I get 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface (g-dbus-error-quark, 16)', but I am doing this outside of unity. Any idea what I should have run first? [21:44] Ben64: Do we care that other distro's use the same group name? Or user name for that matter? If another PC has a gourp or user name that is the same as the one you are on now, do you care? [21:44] Ubuntu 14.10, having MAJOR problems with 750 Ti crashing Compiz/Unity, errors in the Xorg.0.log show ^@^@^@^@^@ [21:44] del_: it could confuse other users, but you're missing the main point, which is that HE ALREADY HAS MADE A GROUP [21:45] I am using the latest stable 340 drivers, btw [21:45] Thanks, Bashing-om . That did the trick! [21:45] cognitiaclaeves: Great ! I had my fingers crossed . [21:45] :) [21:46] Ben64: So he can use the group he just made then. That is ok. I was just showing the complete operation. Again it does *not* matter what the name of the goup is. It can be pineapple if you want. [21:46] del_: i'm glad you figured that out after so many lines of pointless argument [21:46] Nothing_Much: is your PSU plenty beefy enough? [21:47] quitte, No I am using a chinese IR touch screen overlay on 42" TV [21:47] I can tell for sure that its getting an input [21:47] and the coordinates are right [21:47] Ben64: Maybe it is pointless argument but maybe you learned a little from it :) [21:47] its even recognizing that it should invert axiw [21:47] del_: there was nothing to learn from you [21:47] but its acting like its taking its own advice ;) [21:48] like its NOT taking its own advice [21:48] Hi [21:48] I need some help with this tutorial: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113588/install-from-persistent-liveusb-including-files-changes-on-casper-rw [21:48] del_: I've put them in a group called server-admins, then chmod 774 /home/shared-files, but they still can not create directories inside shared-files. Should server-admins be those users primary group? [21:48] RaMcHiP-Mobile: how do you do the testing? here i see that it reacts to touch but i have no idea if the coordinates match anything [21:49] If I do chmod 777 they can, so to me that seems like they are not part of the group? [21:49] I can't figure out how to move my persistent usb's files onto a new install [21:49] i think iut even got worse after putting the snippet in the config file [21:49] quitte: Yes, it's 430 watts [21:49] Semajnad: Uesers will need to log out and back in again for changes to be effective. [21:49] del_: Thank you. [21:49] Nothing_Much: that's not plenty [21:50] quitte: The minimum requirements for the 750 Ti is 400 watts [21:50] del_: Do you know a good RDP client that works with ubuntu-desktop? [21:50] server* [21:50] Nothing_Much: that's about just enough [21:50] I am 30 watts over [21:50] Right [21:50] see. it's probably the psu [21:50] And that would cause Compiz to crash? [21:50] What? [21:50] Are you joking? [21:50] quitte, I can just tell by the coordinates that it puts out [21:50] quitte, the script it tells me to make looks absolutely proper [21:50] quitte, it just doesnt seem to be taking its own advice [21:50] hi guys, I've started aptitude and I saw 40 security updates. I would like to perform only security update, but after I press u, the amount of security updates keeps the same. What I'm doing wrong [21:50] ? [21:51] a4: you need to install them [21:51] Nothing_Much: the psu powers more than just the gpu. and the wattage is combined of all rails. so unless you have plenty... [21:51] it does what you want, security update only, so install those 40 [21:52] I know, and I also trying. but somehow I do something wrong. I press u, but that doesn't help [21:52] If I do xorg it tells me to add to xorg.conf.d but there is none in etc/X11 [21:52] quitte, If I do xorg it tells me to add to xorg.conf.d but there is none in etc/X11 [21:52] Semajnad: krdc [21:53] !krdc | Semajnad [21:53] del_: Thank you [21:53] RaMcHiP-Mobile: there is one in usr/share. at least in debian. it tells you about that,too [21:53] !info krdc | Semajnad [21:53] Semajnad: krdc (source: krdc): Remote Desktop Connection client.

Version 4:4.14.1-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 474 kB, installed size 1170 kB [21:53] a4: press + on the updates you want to install, then press g to confirm [21:54] Nothing_Much: try setting the power saving governor to energy saving in the nvidia control center [21:54] a4: You should use apt-get [21:54] a4: pressing u just updates the list of packages [21:55] del_: aptitude's not so bad...it's a bit easier to see what's available, especially when x breaks >.< [21:55] quitte: I have a 45W APU [21:55] !aptitude [21:55] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter multiarch problems on non-updated 12.04 installs, see http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [21:56] And apparently the recommended 400 W on the box was based on a Core i7 [21:56] So I can assume either 65W or 120W [21:56] del_: yeah but that was 12.04 :P [21:56] Nothing_Much: if someone tells you that you need "at least this" it means any less and you're screwed [21:56] That the Core i7 would take up === MeltedLux is now known as MeltedDed [21:56] jcgs: I see.... [21:57] quitte, thanks trying that now [21:57] quitte: The ranked wattage for the 750 Ti it 65 W itself [22:00] del_: Does KRDC have server software then? === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [22:01] del_: KRDC just seems to connect to the server, doesn't actually let you login with multiple sessions or does it? === testBOT is now known as Guest83027 [22:02] Semajnad: You may just want vnc (session based?) If so you can use tightvnc and/or x11vnc [22:03] del_: I thought VNC wasn't session based? It just connects to whatever the server is on at the time of connecting? [22:03] Grrrr [22:03] all I need to do is swap axis on this and its perfect [22:03] del_: I want it so when you login, it asks for your ubuntu login details and then creates a session for you? [22:03] del_: So more then one person can be logged in at once. [22:03] when I touch middle of screen its dead on but goes exact oppisite of whatever direction I go so its 180' out of phase [22:04] anyway...I just upgraded to 14.10 and now my sound doesn't work. I can't run alsamixer because I get the error message "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [22:04] " [22:04] !info xtightvncviewer | Semajnad [22:04] Semajnad: xtightvncviewer (source: tightvnc): virtual network computing client software for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.10-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 52 kB, installed size 180 kB [22:04] Sorry, 90' out of phase [22:05] Semajnad: tightvncserver - virtual network computing server software And there is also x11vnc (server side) [22:05] hey all, when i try to ssh into something i get an error message asking for a keyring password [22:06] omosoj: We hope you remember it. [22:06] del_: So will x11vnc let users connecting have their own sessions, and ask for linux login details? [22:06] Semajnad: Or not... [22:06] del_, never set one [22:06] Semajnad: default for x11vnc is no password, but you set it up as you see fit. [22:07] del_: But doesn't VNC just haave a general VNC password, or can you set it up so it asks for a ubuntu username and password? [22:07] Semajnad: Choice is yours [22:07] omosoj: what is the error message? [22:08] omosoj: Password recovery is not something we can help you with. [22:09] hello there, i have an issue when updating some php packages, here is my dpkg output https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0c93ada6ecc3d4086b88 , does anyone have a clue [22:10] I really need help with my gpu [22:10] unlock private key. enter password to unlock private key. an application wants access to the private key '' but it is locked. [22:10] jcgs ^ [22:10] omosoj: what were you expecting? just to be asked the plain text password for the user account? [22:11] Semajnad: x11vmc will let anyone connect. (So it is best to only turn it on when you need it, and yes, it is best to set a password, but if there are no untrusted users on your network, just leave it open. Again, the choice is yours. [22:12] jcgs, not sure what i was expecting. i'm not an expert... i was trying to clone a repo from bitbucket... created a key etc, then got this error. (never have a problem with github) [22:12] del_: I think I'm not explaining myself well. I want a way to connect to the Ubuntu GUI, so multiple users can be connected to the server at once. I want it so when you connect, it asks for your Ubuntu Login, not a general password. It will then load the user into their account. [22:12] Nothing_Much: you need to be more specific [22:12] Semajnad: You can ssh in and run it for one session, connect and after that it goes away. x11vnc by itself is for only one session, x11vnc -forever is for continued use. [22:12] jcgs, but instead of downloading into the terminal, a window pops up with that message [22:12] del_: But will it ask you for your ubuntu login, or just a general password. And can more then one person be connected to x11vnc at once?> [22:13] del_: Doing different things? [22:13] there are lot of people on google who have the problem, but haven't found a solution [22:13] Semajnad: Linux Terminal Server may be more like what you are looking for. [22:14] omosoj it's because your key is password protected, when you created it you must have set a password and forgot it [22:14] del_: I'll look that up thanks. [22:14] del_: So that would be like virtualisation? [22:14] Semajnad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP [22:15] omosoj if you don't use your key for anything else that github, just remove it and create a new one, if you set a passphrase don't forget it :) [22:15] !ltsp [22:15] LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [22:15] Oxymore, are you sure? [22:15] 99.5% [22:16] heh. i was going to say i was 99% sure i didn't put a password [22:16] omosoj: That is because there is no solution. [22:17] osomoj save your old key somewhere, and generate a new one, pay attention if ssh-keygen ask you to set a passphrase [22:17] omosoj: this gnome-keyring thing sounds like a pain in the butt (pardon my french)...here is a suggestion grabbed from internet forum: sudo gconftool-2 --set -t bool /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh false [22:17] omosoj: If you use keyring and set a password and do not remember it there is not much we can do about it. (Nor you for that matter.) [22:17] jcgs, what's that do? [22:17] anyway, does anybody can help me with that crazy apt-get who won't upgrade my packages? :( [22:17] omosoj: look here...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008797 but i haven't tested it [22:18] Oxymore: sudo apt-get -f install [22:18] del_ already tried, same problem [22:18] del_, thank you for your help but i'm skeptical of you and your dour attitude. [22:19] Oxymore: Pastebinit [22:19] Hello [22:19] del_ https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0c93ada6ecc3d4086b88 [22:19] I've got a multimedia keyboard [22:19] either /lib/udev/findkeyboards and sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/eventX commands, pressing multimedia keys does nothing [22:19] that's a dpkg output, but it's the same as the apt-get one [22:19] same situation with sudo evtest [22:19] Any ideas? [22:20] Oxymore: can you try just configuring php-cli on it's own as that is the one which is failing...are you even interested in that package? [22:20] Oxymore: correction there are three that are failing [22:21] jcgs, didn't work :/ [22:21] Oxymore: unfortunately, all the log says is that a subprocess exited with status 1. That could mean absolutely anything... to find out what's actually wrong you'll need some more detail [22:21] jcgs indeed, but I can't put my finger on why they are failing, I even purged them, no difference [22:22] jcgs yeah, that's kind of the issue, I can't find any logs anywhere [22:22] i know it's in the postinst scripts, but no idea what's actually crashing [22:23] Oxymore: sudo dpkg-reconfigure libapache2-mod-php [22:24] Oxymore: (in other words, try doing them individually...) [22:25] del_ i'll try that [22:26] Oxymore: I left off the 5 (libapache2-mod-php5) [22:27] Oxymore: apparently the script lives in /var/lib/dpkg/info/.postinst [22:27] Oxymore: you can run it manually from there and see what it says [22:28] Oxymore: in theory all postinst scripts are required to be written in a way which means that runnning them multiple times is not harmful, but it might be worth trying to undertand what it is attempting to do first by reading it [22:29] jcgs I already tried that, but I've some dpkg related error poping up when I do [22:29] I fully purged php5 packages again and I'm trying to install from a ppa, maybe that'll do it [22:30] Oxymore: anything helpful? did the script exit with status 1 (the status can be checked by running echo $? after the script in bash) [22:31] Oxymore: you will have to run
