| Bashing-om | rypervenche: If that is current, sure looks like a Windows operating system to me. As to why ubuntu's OS-Prober is not picking it up, beyond my experience. | 00:37 |
| ghandi | it tells that grub is not configure, thats ridiculous | 00:37 |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: did rypervenche share a partition output at some point? | 00:38 |
| lawn_gnome | try sudo update-grub | 00:38 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: I did. Let me get it for you. | 00:38 |

| Bashing-om | daftykins: rypervenche :: I will bow to daftykins at this time ( or any other too ) . | 00:38 |
| ghandi | lol i did that i also tried to remove grub and reinstall it | 00:39 |
| lawn_gnome | grub or grub2? | 00:39 |

| rypervenche | daftykins: Yes. One moment. | 00:40 |

| lawn_gnome | nahtnam: in bluetooth options you need to select the device then choose pin options. | 00:42 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: irt rypervenche not to this time: http://pastebin.com/c55JAugn , http://pastebin.com/c55JAugn , http://pastebin.com/3jX5sE1D . are all I have . | 00:42 |
| nahtnam | lawn_gnome: Yeah, I do that. I click 1234, and if I press close, and then click on pin options again, it resets | 00:42 |
| ghandi | i hope it works again at least now it installs a few packages after i removed some init.d entries | 00:43 |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: ty | 00:43 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: I am in my learning mode . | 00:43 |
| daftykins | :) | 00:44 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: so i see gdisk refers to that disk as having a GPT with protective MBR setup, which means it's some kind of quirky hybrid. i missed the start of your query, but presumably you're just trying to install ubuntu alongside Windows (which version out of interest?) to this disk? | 00:44 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: And some back story. Friend with a working Windows 8.1 installation. He had first partition, then some unallocated space, and then a second partition that was just for data. I got rid of the second partition, created EFI system partition, swap, and linux partition. Then installed Ubuntu on the system, manually choosing those three partitions and installing the bootloader on sda. | 00:45 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: gdisk always shows protective MBR on all disks that you have GPT on. | 00:46 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: hrmm, it looks like it was a real mess already, as i can see old Windows XP folders as well as win7/8 | 00:46 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: It apparently wasn't an update either. Straight installation to 8.1. | 00:47 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: you can see the Windows.Old folders though, heh | 00:48 |
| rypervenche | Yeah... :/ | 00:48 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: anyway i missed the actual issue at the moment? | 00:48 |
| daftykins | presumably you've been pastebin'ing from the ubuntu install? | 00:48 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: I can't boot back into Windows. update-grub is not giving the chainloaders. | 00:48 |
| daftykins | ah i see | 00:48 |
| daftykins | it's definitely a new enough system to have an EFI? | 00:49 |

| EriC^^ | autoexec.bat brings back memories fooling around with the pc's at school | 00:50 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: actually you said it was your addition, the EFI partition, so i suspect the system is actually installed in BIOS mode, you might need to wipe ubuntu and reinstall it in legacy too (despite the disk appearing GPT) | 00:51 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: although it looks so messy to me that i'd probably backup the user data and nuke the thing from orbit and start again | 00:51 |
| daftykins | i bet a lot of disk space is being wasted on those old Windows installations | 00:51 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: Ok, I'll try a few things and then boot using BIOS mode. I suppose that would let us know if it is installed in BIOS mode or not. | 00:52 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: *nod* good luck | 00:53 |
| rypervenche | Bashing-om: daftykins: Thank you both for the help. I'll let you know if I can get something to work :) | 00:53 |
| skyfall | hello. ? anybody ? | 00:53 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: rypervenche For my info, does not Windows expect the EFI partiton to be the 1st partition. and is not GPT sector size 4096 vice 512 (MBR) ?? | 00:54 |
| n0w_ | Every time I start the system, xfce popups nautilus showing home directory. How can I fix it? | 00:54 |

| n0w_ | Every time I start the system, xfce popups nautilus showing home directory. How can I fix it? | 00:56 |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: sector size is more of a physical disk thing, it doesn't influence the use of MBR or GPT at all really. an EFI'd Windows install would have the EFI boot partition at the start yeah, so i don't think this was an EFI Windows at all. i think an in-place windows 8 install has stuck to installing to this disk in legacy BIOS mode due probably to seeing an older Windows version on there to begin with (you can see XP folders on the | 00:56 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: Thanks for the probable explanation. makes sense now to me. ( I bet no Windows boot code in the EFI partition ) . | 00:59 |
| rypervenche | daftykins: Hmm, and it wouldn't be possible to have a mix of BIOS and UEFI systems, would it? I just realized the custom grub stuff would be for EFI, which Windows doesn't have. | 00:59 |
| Ubuntu-nice | I can't burn Ubuntu in a CD anymore :< | 01:00 |
| Ubuntu-nice | More than 1GB size, why is this o.O | 01:00 |
| daftykins | rypervenche: nah, the user would have to keep using the system's boot menu (if it has one) to select between the installations, if it's even EFI capable | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | rypervenche: Must be one or the other, else Bios can not hand off to the boot code at a known location. | 01:00 |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: my pleasure :) indeed, it'd have nothing right now | 01:01 |
| yeats | Ubuntu-nice: because CD-ROMs can't hold that much data? ;-) | 01:01 |
| rypervenche | Ok, I'll put the system in BIOS mode and reinstall I guess. Thanks again. | 01:01 |

| pantato | daftykins, and the same for the other folder i want to share as csserver ? | 01:18 |
| pantato | should i login to csserver on the box before doing that command? | 01:18 |
| daftykins | pantato: well lets see the permissions on it first | 01:18 |
| daftykins | no that's not necessary | 01:19 |

| EriC^^ | Hardtail: hi | 01:20 |
| daftykins | pantato: you also need to remove "public = yes" from your two share definitions, as that means to share without authentication | 01:20 |
| daftykins | pantato: comment those lines out with a leading hash | 01:20 |
| Airbander | guys this command dont work 'findsmb' | 01:21 |
| Hardtail | Hey Eric^^! | 01:21 |
| EriC^^ | Hardtail: daftykins told me you were asking about me? | 01:21 |
| Airbander | or work in other distro ( i'm new in linux ) | 01:21 |
| pantato | done, should i chmod 770 those folders, daftykins? | 01:21 |
| Hardtail | eric^^ ahh. did you change your handle from 'eeee | 01:22 |
| EriC^^ | Hardtail: ah, yeah, i use eeee as well | 01:22 |
| daftykins | pantato: well they have more permissions than they need, but just try those edits for now, be sure you restart the samba service then try again from the Windows box (which shouldn't be part of a homegroup, by the way) | 01:22 |
| EriC^^ | Hardtail: what's up? | 01:23 |
| pantato | daftykins, still not able to join | 01:24 |
| daftykins | pantato: ok what do the logs say? | 01:24 |
| hipitihop | In earlier versions of ubuntu I used to be able to do `sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb` and then `sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` but neither the path or usbfs seems to exist these days | 01:25 |
| antitau | Hey folks - got a wifi problem I'm hoping someone can help with. I just installed Elementary OS (12.04) on a laptop with a Broadcom 43328 chip. A few other things didn't work so I upped to kernel 3.13 and did a --reinstall of bcmwl-kernel-source to get the wifi driver for the new kernel. Now it works but only finds the 5GHz channel from my dual band router which seems to be very unreliable compared to the 2.4 i'm usually on. Any suggestions? :-) | 01:25 |
| === csheldon_ is now known as corey84 | ||
| daftykins | !elementary | antitau | 01:26 |
| ubottu | antitau: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 01:26 |
| antitau | elementary is just an interface on top of Ubuntu though...this is a lower level issue than Pantheon or something | 01:27 |
| Bashing-om | Airbander: Not sure of you goal here .. 'find' is a terminal command, must include a target and arguments . See: -> man find <-. | 01:27 |
| daftykins | antitau: yes, but we don't support it regardless. | 01:27 |
| AlexPortable | How do I start chrome with a custom profile? | 01:27 |
| cfhowlett | antitau, we have no way of knowing all the changes elementary makes to ubuntu and thus don't support it. ask the elementary folks for help with their distro. | 01:27 |
| antitau | daftykins, okay, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.13 and my wifi only finds the 5GHz channel. | 01:28 |
| daftykins | antitau: sorry, dishonesty does not make me start helping you. | 01:28 |

| Hardtail | cfhowlett no I mean if I am developing games and I want to publish to ubuntu, what are the limitations? | 01:31 |
| daftykins | pantato: hmm i think i would rather start with a default config file again. what server version is this? | 01:31 |
| Airbander | thanks guys for answers but how can i type in red coloe like Bashing-om and cfholett | 01:32 |

| pantato | 14.04 LTS ? | 01:32 |
| cfhowlett | Airbander, on your irc client, type the persons name | 01:33 |

| Blizzy | I'm trying to run Ubuntu on a VM on Windows. I've tried VirtualBox. what do I do? | 01:33 |
| Airbander | ah nice | 01:33 |
| Blizzy | however, VirtualBox won't work. | 01:34 |
| teward | Blizzy: VirtualBox would be the way to go, installing it inside a VM. Has it not worked for you or something? If it hasn't, what errors or such showed up | 01:34 |
| Blizzy | I can install VirtualBox, however, I get an error when I try to install Ubuntu on it. | 01:34 |
| Ahmuck | what is the error? | 01:34 |
| teward | Blizzy: what's the specific error? | 01:35 |
| daftykins | pantato: yeah so it would have been better to add your share definitions to the end of a stock smb.conf | 01:35 |

| willpowers | Hello. | 01:39 |
| willpowers | I was trying to fix my graphics card issue and so I purged a few video related packages, and now I can't boot into the desktop. | 01:39 |
| willpowers | It prompted me for my password and I can see the desktop background image, but Unity just doesn't load. | 01:40 |
| willpowers | It hangs at the background image forever. | 01:40 |
| willpowers | Any ideas how to fix? | 01:41 |
| willpowers | I feel like the graphics card drivers must be semi-installed because it still shows the background image in full resolution on all three of my screens. | 01:42 |
| hipitihop | usbfs is no longer in modern kernels. What is the alternate way to list devices via hid udev , used to be able to mount /proc/bus/usb and then `sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` | 01:42 |
| daftykins | willpowers: nvidia? | 01:43 |
| vbgunz | forgive me but what is the simplest way to log onto a very restricted account and be able to log in as say sudo without ever leaving that account? sort of like sudo but with a very special password instead of just the users password. this has to be possible? | 01:43 |
| willpowers | daftykins: Originally I had ATI drivers but I tried to uninstall them, then I switched to using Intel integrated graphics and I installed those drivers when I added a 3rd monitor, and things became rather buggy. | 01:47 |
| willpowers | But now I'm running into more annoying video bugs so I tried uninstalling all the video drivers and now I'm locked out of my desktop. | 01:48 |
| cfhowlett | willpowers, ??? drivers should match the hardware. | 01:48 |
| willpowers | I originally had an ATI card but when I added a third monitor I decided to use onboard video. | 01:48 |
| rantarou | greetings all, my name's rantarou. i'm an | 01:48 |
| rantarou | ubuntu user from jakarta | 01:48 |
| daftykins | willpowers: i don't even know why anyone feels the need to install drivers for intel, they're part of the kernel as default fine typically. | 01:48 |
| willpowers | Anyways do you know how I can get back into the desktop? It just sits at the post-login screen with a full resolution background image and Unity won't load. | 01:49 |
| daftykins | rantarou: hi, do you have a support question? | 01:49 |
| Jon31 | hey guys, i am trying to install vpn on my server. i was recommended to use openvpn, but i don't understand why use openvpn because it requires you to use a client. I remember there was something simpler that allows you to establish a VPN connection without the need of a client. Was it PPTP? I can't remember. Any advise? | 01:49 |
| daftykins | willpowers: test a guest session would be idea 1, to prove it isn't a user config issue | 01:49 |
| willpowers | daftykins: I had to install aftermarket ones because I couldn't get my third monitor to work at the time. I don't think the ones integrated into the kernel could support 3 monitors at the time. | 01:49 |
| daftykins | willpowers: i see | 01:49 |
| willpowers | What's testing a guest session? | 01:50 |
| willpowers | I think I have guest login disabled, let me try. | 01:50 |

| qanadin | So I installed windows on a completely different hard drive. When I tell the BIOS to boot to the linux hard disk now, it doesn't boot. It just sits on a black screen with the flashing cursor. Is the MBR messed up on this drive now cause of the windows install? If so how do I repair it? | 01:51 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, reinstall grub | 01:51 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, wait wait | 01:51 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: Okay I will look for the instructions... | 01:51 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: k | 01:51 |
| daftykins | willpowers: ok sounds graphics related then yep. what's the currently in-use card then? the AMD? | 01:51 |
| willpowers | No I'm using the Intel onboard graphics daftykins. | 01:52 |
| willpowers | There's 3 video outputs on the motherboard being utilized. | 01:52 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, bios should be able to find that additional drive. where did you send the windows bootloader? | 01:52 |
| willpowers | All 3 monitors are still lighting up so I feel like the graphics drivers must be partially installed still. | 01:52 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: Bios can find the drive it can see it, as it allows me to select it from the boot up options. | 01:53 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, experiment. unplug the non-windows HDD and see if you get boot | 01:53 |
| metrix | I have a USB drive that I can't get to boot from BIOS (it works on another PC) is there a way to get it to load from grub2? | 01:53 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: windows bootloader should still be on the drive the windows system is on | 01:53 |

| qanadin | yep no problem | 01:57 |
| qanadin | I thought it might have been somethign to do with the new hard drive and linux on it | 01:58 |
| daftykins | willpowers: assuming you installed something like, the intel driver from the x-swat PPA or wherever, i don't know what that driver module would be called | 01:58 |
| willpowers | daftykins: I removed the intel-xorg driver and that's when this started. | 01:58 |

| willpowers | From the CLI. | 01:58 |
| daftykins | willpowers: was it from a PPA? | 01:59 |
| willpowers | I can't remember. | 01:59 |
| daftykins | willpowers: why not just read your APT history to see what you removed? :) | 01:59 |
| willpowers | I don't want that version again, I want the latest one. | 01:59 |
| willpowers | I was having lots of buggy video problems. | 01:59 |
| vbgunz | I think I may have been looking for su instead of sudo | 02:00 |
| daftykins | willpowers: ok, maybe you should jump on a live session, research the newest driver then switch back and install it | 02:01 |

| willpowers | There's a whole bunch of mesa stuff, and I'm not sure what that is. | 02:39 |
| guest1177a | cfhowlett, I did run the 14.04 32 bit version in the store before I left (I'll want to install the 64 bit version). So, how much of a gurantee is it that if the trial run is successful that the install will be also? | 02:39 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: That didn't work | 02:39 |
| cfhowlett | guest1177a, you tested in store and it ran? very good sign. | 02:40 |
| EriC^^ | firebb: no idea | 02:40 |
| willpowers | I give, I'll be back in a bit to bang my head against this some more. | 02:40 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, still getting the grub> prompt? | 02:40 |
| guest1177a | l0rdn1x, thx for the input. A few yrs ago (around ubuntu 10.04 era) I recall people having trouble with the display/drivers. | 02:40 |
| qanadin | I am going to see i I can get grub2 to install | 02:40 |
| EriC^^ | firebb: i have the same here | 02:40 |
| EriC^^ | firebb: ssh isn't installed, and i can't connect to port 22 | 02:41 |
| firebb | EriC^^: can you show your command? | 02:42 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 02:42 |
| l0rdn1x | guest1177a, yep np, i just switched to a different laptop and Ubuntu works great... It was a few years ago when I tried the Acer so it might have improved not sure. | 02:42 |
| qanadin | still getting grub> promt cfhowlett | 02:42 |
| EriC^^ | firebb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8782709/ | 02:43 |
| guest1177a | l0rdn1x, right on. guess I'll give it a shot :) | 02:43 |
| l0rdn1x | guest1177a, boot a live cd first and test everything out | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | qanadin, wait 1 | 02:43 |
| qanadin | cfhowlett: 10-4 | 02:43 |
| guest1177a | l0rdn1x, for sure. I did get connected to wifi in the store running 14.04 live so I feel pretty comfortable going forward. Just wanted to check one last time before I start pushing buttons. | 02:44 |
| l0rdn1x | guest1177a, yep make sure you check the graphics also if your going to need them give me a moment and I'll give you a command to test it out. | 02:45 |
| guest1177a | l0rdn1x, I'd love the help. Thank you. | 02:46 |
| l0rdn1x | guest1177a, /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | 02:46 |
| guest1177a | I'm working to burn the Ubuntu 64 bit cd now also | 02:46 |
| l0rdn1x | guest1177a, run that in your terminal from the live machine | 02:46 |
| guest1177a | cool | 02:46 |

| dkog | hi - can somebody explain how samba or CIFS (presumably) works when it allows a computer on LAN to recognize and connect to another one by the hostname it declares? | 03:02 |
| dkog | I'm troubleshooting something related and kind of guessing | 03:03 |
| sacarlson | dkog: I think one method that I saw is clients can pass the dhcp server a name at lease time | 03:04 |
| dkog | sacarlson: ok so it's not so much broadcasting names/requests as registering as that | 03:05 |
| sacarlson | dkog: I think there is more than one method, you can set ip in hosts and the old windows method that I don't know the name of | 03:06 |
| dkog | right, I'm looking into the non-hardcoded more ad-hoc methods | 03:06 |
| sacarlson | dkog: windows used some kind of broadcast method | 03:06 |
| dicky | hii all | 03:06 |
| dkog | I uninstalled a few packages (samba and cifs related) and now the dynamic discovery by name is not working, but I did other things too, so trying to pinpoint it | 03:07 |
| sacarlson | dkog: the dhcp method I would guess would meet you ad-hoc method, but you can research others | 03:07 |
| sacarlson | dkog: the old window method as I recall when it did work was not instant and took maybe hours before others would see them by name | 03:08 |

| dkog | if DHCP allows registering by name as you suggest, and the other computers use the router (or same place as handling DHCP) for name resolution, then that sounds like a good simple way to do it | 03:09 |
| cfhowlett | Levitcus, if you know, stop violating the channel rules | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | dkog: the dhcp method on desktops is normaly default, on kubuntu or lubuntu you might have to do some added setup | 03:10 |
| dkog | I'm using Raspbian (Debian variant for Raspberry Pi), and my other machines were able to see 'raspberrypi' host on LAN until I fiddled with it, now I'm trying to figure out what system component was making that happen | 03:11 |
| dkog | becaues I'm also working on making a read-only root filesystem, and that blocks writing to /etc/resolv.conf among other things, so lots of moving pieces now, trying to understand how they work instead of just guessing and "seems to work" | 03:11 |
| cfhowlett | dkog, raspbian not supported here. sorry. | 03:12 |
| dkog | cfhowlett: understood, I was giving that for background, but I'm really asking general "what's responsible for ad-hoc LAN name recognition" | 03:13 |

| willpowers | Will anyone help me fix my video card problem? | 03:27 |
| willpowers | I uninstalled the driver and now I can't get back into my desktop. | 03:27 |
| willpowers | It was the Intel X11 graphics driver. | 03:28 |
| willpowers | All I can do is get to a command line but I can't figure out how to install that driver from the CLI. | 03:28 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: you should analize what card you have with lspci and then google to see if others are having the same or similar problems | 03:28 |
| lewis1711 | is there anyway I can turn off my separate graphics card? my computer is overheating. trying to backup files so I can re-install ubuntu but it keeps switching off halfway through | 03:29 |
| willpowers | I don't have a card, I'm using integrated graphics. | 03:29 |
| willpowers | It worked fine (albeit there was some glitches), so I was trying to fix them and I ended up purging the package, and then when I restarted I couldn't get into Unity. | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: it maters not lscpi will display the built in alls | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | o | 03:30 |
| willpowers | From reading the X11.log file I can see that it says: module "intel" not found. | 03:30 |
| willpowers | But I can't figure out how to get it back. | 03:30 |
| willpowers | VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller | 03:30 |
| willpowers | I have three monitors plugged in to the motherboard. | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | lewis1711: you can eather disable your builtin grafic card in bios or unplug the added card. not sure you can disable a plugin other than not load the needed modules I guess | 03:31 |
| naileth | jvjv | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: I have the same video card. it works plug and play on ubuntu 14.04 | 03:32 |
| willpowers | scarlson: I heard that, but why won't it work now? | 03:32 |
| willpowers | It seems like my system is still trying to find intel drivers. | 03:32 |
| willpowers | Can I configure it so just use the plug and play drivers? | 03:32 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: sounds like you broke it when you uninstalled drivers | 03:33 |
| willpowers | Yea. | 03:33 |
| willpowers | But it should be fixable. | 03:33 |
| lewis1711 | sacarlson, thanks for the hints, I'll give that a try if it overheats again and i have to reboot | 03:33 |
| willpowers | Unfortunately the only intel graphics driver installer seems to be a GUI tool. | 03:33 |
| willpowers | The plug and play drivers wouldn't support all three screens when I tried initially anyways. | 03:33 |
| willpowers | So I think I need the latest graphics driver directly from Intel. | 03:34 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: well all I can think of is reinstall the drivers you deleted or reinstall ubuntu 14.04 again | 03:34 |
| willpowers | I installed them with the GUI tool. | 03:34 |
| willpowers | I don't want to have to reinstall Ubuntu for this. | 03:34 |
| Fudge | anyone brilliant with gsettings? org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | how do i fix it when my alsa library does not match my alsa utilities version? | 03:35 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: last I looked 14.04 kernel already incorporated latest drivers for Xeon E3-xxxx | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | !!ALSA Version | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | !!------------ | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | Driver version: k3.13.0-39-generic | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | Library version: 1.0.25 | 03:35 |
| lizzie_ | Utilities version: 1.0.27.2 | 03:35 |
| willpowers | scarlson: Well I think I removed them. Now I just need to get the xorg-intel package back somehow. | 03:36 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: what version of ubuntu do you now have installed? | 03:36 |
| willpowers | 14.04 | 03:36 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: without knowing what you removed it's too much trouble for me to guess what is needed | 03:37 |
| willpowers | Isn't there an apt log where I can see what I purged earlier? | 03:37 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: good idea research that | 03:37 |
| Loshki | willpowers: check /var/log/dpkg.log, then check to see if you still have a cached copy in /var/cache/apt/archive | 03:38 |
| willpowers | What about /var/log/apt/history.log? | 03:38 |

| === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i | ||
| Bashing-om | willpowers: Here is one thought, NOT supported here ! -> INTEL RELEASES LINUX GRAPHICS DRIVERS INSTALLER , in the process of installing the propprietary driver may find what dependencies are missing: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/intel-releases-linux-graphics-drivers.html . | 03:44 |
| willpowers | scarlson: I reinstalled the xserver-xorg-video-intel and it still doesn't load my desktop. | 03:44 |
| willpowers | Bashing-om: That's explaining the GUI tool, I only have access to the CLI now that I am locked out of my desktop. | 03:45 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: " via command line ("intel-linux-graphics-installer") and use it to upgrade your Intel graphics drivers: " . | 03:46 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: Or does that activate a GUI utility ? | 03:47 |
| willpowers | How do I get that executable? | 03:47 |
| willpowers | I think it activates a GUI | 03:47 |
| willpowers | That's how I installed the Intel graphics drivers before when I could access my desktop. My third monitor wouldn't turn on until I installed the latest driver using that. | 03:47 |
| willpowers | Now my XOrg.log file says "Could not load software renderer". | 03:48 |
| sacarlson | Bashing-om: I don't see any package and no wheris return for intel-linux-graphics-installer | 03:48 |
| willpowers | The thing is, from reading the apt.log file, when I did `apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel, it removed a bunch of dependencies. | 03:49 |
| willpowers | And now that I did `apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel`, it installed it, but I didn't get all the dependencies back. | 03:50 |
| willpowers | And thus the XOrg.log file is saying "Could not load software renderer" because one of the dependencies is missing. | 03:50 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: A command line way ! http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/how-to-use-intel-linux-graphics-drivers.html . | 03:50 |
| willpowers | Hmm that looks old it's for 13.04. | 03:52 |
| willpowers | I see that there's a https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/14.04/main/ too. | 03:53 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: To resolve dependencies -> apt-get depends xserver-xorg-video-intel , apt-cacxhe rdepends xserver-xorg-video-intel <- make sure all listed packages are installed (??) . | 03:53 |
| willpowers | How can I check and see if I already have that intel repository? | 03:53 |
| Bashing-om | apt-cache* | 03:53 |
| willpowers | I think I might already have it from previously using the GUI tool. | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: I note you have been researching this isue now for 2 hours, it only takes 14 minutes or less to just install a fresh copy of 14.04, do you have some custome installs on this box? | 03:54 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: look in -> cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list , tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* <- for source. | 03:54 |
| willpowers | scarlson: Haha, I might do that if I knew how, and if I also knew that my files and programs would be safe. | 03:55 |
| breed | hi! how you guys doing? | 03:55 |
| willpowers | No custom installs btw scarlson. | 03:56 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: you could just backup /home on a flash if it's not already on it's own partition and start a reinstall | 03:56 |
| breed | anyone can help me?, i cant run ccsm on ubuntu 14.04 lts, tryed few ways and times, installs, reinstalls... thanks! | 03:56 |
| OERIAS | ?join #debian | 03:56 |
| willpowers | sacarlson: I'll do that if I can't fix it in the next 30 minutes. | 03:57 |
| willpowers | I don't want to risk any data loss. | 03:57 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: in the future if you want to go back to a prevouse point you should setup rsync backup and perform it before any big changes like you made | 03:58 |
| willpowers | I agree. | 03:59 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: there is also the new disk partition format that allows freeze points that can be recovered that I"ve never tried | 03:59 |
| willpowers | I heard you should just store /home on a separate partition and then you can easily reinstall Ubuntu. | 03:59 |
| === mussolini is now known as SwisherSweets | ||
| === SwisherSweets is now known as Phillies | ||
| willpowers | Okay well I'm going to try those `depends` commands now. Hopefully that fixes it. | 03:59 |
| celroc | willpowers: I have /home on its own partition. Very handy when installing/reinstalling distros :-) | 04:00 |
| willpowers | `apt-get depends` says Invalid operation. | 04:00 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: so if you like to do what you just did maybe on your new install you will also want to try btrfs disk format https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs | 04:00 |
| willpowers | `apt-get depends xserver-xorg-video-intel` says Invalid operation, I mean. | 04:00 |
| breed | hi!!! :)) anyone can help me?, i cant run ccsm on ubuntu 14.04 lts, tryed few ways and times, installs, reinstalls... thanks! | 04:01 |
| willpowers | sacarlson: I'm more concerned about just getting this fixed so I can get back to work right now lol. | 04:01 |
| willpowers | If I can figure out the depends stuff, hopefully I can get those dependencies all back. | 04:01 |
| evilddog | hello | 04:02 |
| willpowers | sacarlson: Here you can see the apt.log, and it displays all the dependencies that got removed too. http://i.imgur.com/7LA19NO.jpg | 04:02 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: Sorry, tired, the command is apt-cache depends <package-name> and apt-cache rdepends <package-name. | 04:03 |
| willpowers | Bashing-om: it listed a bunch of depends on new lines, and then one that says Conflicts. | 04:04 |
| willpowers | Conflicts: xserver-xorg-video-intel | 04:04 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: Right, those in the 1st section are required to be installed -> dpkg -l <name> <- . | 04:05 |
| willpowers | Bashing-om: I have to type that for each one? | 04:06 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: Do not know how a package could conflict with it's self, less a different versions of same package . | 04:07 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: from that it looks like you pulled one branch that made the entire tree fall down. I can't tell what's on top the tree to see what would need to be installed first. I see ubuntu-desktop maybe that will recover the try but I dought it | 04:07 |
| willpowers | Bashing-om: Might be something to do with which architecture. | 04:08 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: " I have to type that for each one" yep, I know of no short cuts . | 04:08 |
| willpowers | Haha this is funny. | 04:08 |
| willpowers | I guess I just need to reinstall Ubuntu if installing `ubuntu-desktop` doesn't fix this. | 04:08 |
| willpowers | But I am just worried that backing up /home won't back everything I need up. | 04:09 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: my guess is even when you have something that looks like it works you will later find other branches missing that cause other problems | 04:09 |
| willpowers | Stuff like server configurations, etc. | 04:09 |
| willpowers | Damn. | 04:09 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: manually resolving dependnecies is a real pain .. Imagine what it was like before package management (dpkg) was thought up ! | 04:09 |
| willpowers | Shoot me. | 04:10 |
| willpowers | I haz my desktop back. | 04:10 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: just think how much cooler your system will be with btrfs added to a new install ha ha | 04:11 |
| Bashing-om | willpowers: ! big step for willpowers , and as sacarlson remarks, what next is broken ? | 04:11 |
| willpowers | Same annoying screen flickering when using certain websites though. | 04:11 |

| ubuntuaddicted | i installed nvidia 343.22 from the nvidia website and when i boot i am presented with a black screen. it's weird cause there's no errors in xorg.0.log nor .xsession-errors | 04:49 |
| willpowers | sacarlson: I just don't want to forget anything or I will be in big trouble. :) | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: all my virtual hosts files are in /home | 04:49 |
| Orangestar | Is he referring to virtual machines or am I missing something here? | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | willpowers: I also personaly scatter things from within /home with sybolic links to use space on other partitions but not sure you do the same | 04:50 |
| just_jon | thanks for the info on the server | 04:50 |
| just_jon | any tricks to getting ubuntu-mate to read DVD movies? | 04:54 |
| willpowers | If I can just copy the /home directory that should be sufficient. My projects all have provisioners that configure the vhosts. | 04:55 |
| Amminadab | hello over here | 04:55 |
| Orangestar | If the programs you use aren't exactly hefty you could probably just redownload those. | 04:55 |
| sacarlson | just_jon: from ubuntu there are some packages to add codec they have the word extra at the end. maybe dvd has it's own package | 04:55 |
| Orangestar | /home is obviously the big one | 04:56 |
| just_jon | I added libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 | 04:56 |
| just_jon | and then ran the script to set up css | 04:56 |
| sacarlson | just_jon: if you like mate then you might like Linux mint that has all the codec preinstalled for you including what's needed for dvd | 04:57 |
| just_jon | yeah, idk, I like more vanillia installations | 04:57 |
| OerHeks | just_jon, after those steps, reboot | 04:58 |

| just_jon | won't play, but thats what you get | 05:12 |
| sonetea | sacarlson: yes essential that's what it's suppose to do | 05:12 |
| sonetea | essentially* | 05:12 |
| sonetea | and is what xubuntu will later be running on | 05:12 |
| sonetea | err nvm they decided not to use xmir | 05:13 |
| sonetea | for xubuntu | 05:13 |
| sonetea | but yeah xmir is used so that Applications that can only respond to X can run on mir | 05:14 |
| willpowers | How do I backup /home? When I do `cp -r /home/user /media/user/` it just sits there forever. | 05:14 |
| willpowers | BTW /media/user is an external hdd. | 05:14 |
| Orangestar | it's probably taking a while | 05:14 |
| willpowers | I need to find out how to find out how big my home directory is. I'm new to Linux. | 05:15 |
| Orangestar | You can use -v to print in verbose mode, which tells you each file that's being copied iirc | 05:15 |
| sabgenton | sacarlson: based on xwayland | 05:15 |
| sonetea | i wonder if there is a compatibility layer for mir-wayland in development | 05:16 |
| willpowers | Wow my home dir is 162 gigs. | 05:16 |
| willpowers | I don't know how it got that big. | 05:16 |
| sacarlson | sabgenton: yes I just read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_%28software%29 but I can't even get my apps to run in unity, it would require me to rewrite and port to it to make it work. for me it was easier to just move to Mate | 05:16 |
| Orangestar | willpowers: you can use the disk usage analyzer in ubu to determine what's taking up all that space | 05:17 |
| sabgenton | sonetea i heard xmir can | 05:17 |
| Orangestar | You can also use GDmap but it displays it's results differently. It's a matter of taste | 05:18 |
| sabgenton | But then read elsewhere it cant | 05:18 |
| sabgenton | Which was confusing | 05:18 |
| Joufflu | It's been a while since I've used a LiveCD. Normally had one to test hardware. I can't find the LiveCD to download. Is this no longer a supported feature ? | 05:18 |

| sacarlson | sabgenton: yes unity runs on x11 | 05:19 |
| sabgenton | sacarlson: the new one doesn't | 05:20 |
| sabgenton | ( well i thought) | 05:20 |
| sonetea | unity7 is the last unity to run on X | 05:20 |
| sacarlson | sabgenton: I ported one of my apps to unity and I failed to recover all functionality and the job was too big for me to handle so just moved to mate | 05:21 |
| sabgenton | Yeah | 05:21 |
| sonetea | unity8 which is still in development will use mir | 05:21 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: sabgenton oh when I played with it last it was on X11, my apps today still run on mate without change | 05:21 |

| sabgenton | scary if it was dependent on gnome | 05:26 |
| sonetea | had to be gtk2 | 05:27 |
| sacarlson | sabgenton: I no longer support it | 05:27 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: yes it looks like I later ported it to glade with gtk2 support | 05:27 |

| josmala | No and I cannot get the program even running. | 06:00 |

| sonetea | It looks interesting | 06:51 |
| sonetea | Zlacer: have you tried recreating the usb and trying again? | 06:51 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: I"m not sure as I run from Linux Mint that has it by default | 06:51 |
| sonetea | or possibly redownloading the iso | 06:51 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: and love it | 06:52 |
| sonetea | sacarlson: It uses compiz right? | 06:52 |
| sonetea | and can into wobbly windows? | 06:52 |
| icecube45 | ha! | 06:52 |
| icecube45 | So I can | 06:52 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: I don't think it uses compiz by default | 06:52 |
| sonetea | sacarlson: ah, i thought some versions did. What is its default WM for mint? | 06:53 |
| Zlacer | sonetea: That I have done couple of times but to the same USB drive. Maybe I will try with another USB and then download again. | 06:53 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: I think I even installed compiz and don't notice any change so maybe it also has to be activated | 06:53 |
| sonetea | Zlacer: this probably isn't the problem but do you have secureboot? | 06:53 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: I'm not sure how would I find out? | 06:54 |
| abhishek | sacarlson: just saw the screenshots of Mate, looks interesting, will surely try but 'looks' a bit noisy for me | 06:54 |
| Zlacer | sonetea; I have secureboot and to my understanding I have disabled it. Although I cannot confirm that from Windows Powershell (running admin) as the command is not regornized. I will check the command and let you know in a moment | 06:55 |
| sacarlson | abhishek: noisy as in too many icons? you can remove and add them | 06:55 |
| sonetea | ye mate should be pretty configurable | 06:55 |
| abhishek | sacarlson: flashy would be the word, sorry. do give me the command I will check it out | 06:56 |
| sonetea | ah sacarlson it probably uses a fork of metacity | 06:56 |
| sacarlson | abhishek: the link I did see required like 4 - 5 command lines to install | 06:56 |
| sonetea | which was gnome 2's window manager | 06:57 |
| sacarlson | sonetea: I show compiz still installed | 06:57 |
| sonetea | sacarlson: do you want to use it? | 06:57 |
| sonetea | you have to do some command to make it run on startup instead of marco(metacity) | 06:57 |

| sacarlson | sonetea: so to exit my present manager I could ??? then just type compiz --replace on the terminal maybe after I login? | 07:20 |
| sonetea | yes that's what you can do | 07:21 |
| sonetea | you can also have that run on startup | 07:21 |

| Fudge | anyone familiar with trusty gsettings setting custom-keybinds | 07:42 |
| sacarlson | servet: you should be able to make changes to sound setting while in the app from preference>sound but I do find that my skype makes it's own changes at start up that mess up some of my other apps at startup | 07:42 |
| sacarlson | servet: I later wrote a script for one of my apps that force my sound settings by command line to the way I want when I start it | 07:43 |
| nusr | i am either unable to physically hear digital sounds (only analog) or i messed up my drivers by bleachbit..... | 07:44 |
| sacarlson | servet: by adding a line like this pactl set-sink-volume 1 40% ; not sure if that helps you | 07:44 |
| servet | sacarlson: Yes, but only a few apps allow this. cheese and google hangouts don't have that preference-sound menu... Does that line set the sound volume? | 07:47 |
| sacarlson | servet: yes I that line sets the volume input that I use. but you can control any part of pulseaudio from the command line depending on what you need | 07:48 |
| ubuntunewbie | Hi! I have a problem in my newly installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS box. I am unable to access certain sites like edx.org . I am able to do the same in windows | 07:50 |
| sacarlson | servet: sound preferences can run outside of the app your controling sound for | 07:51 |
| ubuntunewbie | Could you please help? | 07:51 |
| servet | sacarlson: pulseaudio doesn't work well, it is crackling. That's why I need every app, at least hangouts, to use alsa with the correct device settings (ALC660-VD analog) ( that is the settings I use with gstreamer-preperties) | 07:52 |
| servet | sacarlson: anyother settings with pulse audio or o others don't work | 07:53 |
| sacarlson | servet: oh ic so you bypass pulseaudio, then my method won't work in that envirnment | 07:53 |
| sacarlson | servet: but that might be due to you having volume up listening on some other input or 1000+ other reasons in pulseaudio | 07:54 |
| sacarlson | servet: I also bypass pulseaudo when I play with jackd | 07:55 |

| sacarlson | ubuntunewbie: that's also why the NSA always knows what you research from you dns logs that windows provides them | 08:03 |
| servet | sacarlson: is there a central controller for audio settings to set the defaults? or every app is independent? | 08:03 |
| sacarlson | servet: yes in both alsa and pulseaudio they are controled accross apps. however apps can also change the settings as I do with command line when I run mine | 08:04 |

When I run nmap from one of my computer and scan just one port of another one of my computers using the command `nmap -v -p 22 -sT --reason -d mac` it shows the port 22 as `filtered because no-response` but I know that the port 22 is open and I can ssh into it... why does nmap say its filtered? | 08:06 |
| servet | sacarlson: aren't there terminal commands for alsa like there are for pulse audio? | 08:09 |
| sacarlson | servet: yes there probly is I just never needed them so didn't research it | 08:11 |
| sacarlson | servet: as you might note if you shutdown pulse audio as I assume you did to use alsa that only one app at a time to access sound, so no rings on skype while you play music | 08:12 |

I had thought it was simply impossible to be detected, but on one boot it was actually recognized for some reason, and I don't know why and I can't get it to recognize it again. | 08:15 |
| farva | jacobmischka: the problem with this is, when I run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java' it returns with 'command not found' | 08:16 |
| jurisdan_ | OMG, so many people and noone answer me :( | 08:17 |
| jacobmischka | farva, um you could try apt-add-repository I guess, but there's no reason that command should be missing | 08:18 |

| jacobmischka | farva, you can also add a repository via the "software and updates" application on the "other software" tab | 08:19 |
| jacobmischka | but yes, you should look into fixing that problem | 08:19 |

I have run both the commands and the ip seems the same and I have configured the google dns 8.8.8.8 as my secondary dns in my dsl connection config. I was able try curl to https://www.edx.org and I got some html code as a response. But when I curl https://courses.edx.org/login , thats does not yeild anything. The terminal just blocks | 08:20 |
| ubuntunewbie | sacarlson: does this have anything to do with openssl not supporting sslv2 in 14.04 | 08:22 |
| servet | sacarlson: I only tried skype to test it via a test call, it was pretty bad. No noise cancelling, fan noise was getting picked up as well as that crackling. I use google hangouts. But, the behavior is the same with all apps. gstreamer settings are not being used, they try to do their own settings, and they fail. BTw, there is no problem with audio playback while using pulse audio. So, I don't experience an issue with rings and wh | 08:22 |
| sacarlson | after_r: I looked at the man page of nmap to see what your up to . what is the mac at the end? I didn't know nmap works with mac address. also might you be looking at yourself? as when I do arp -n I don't see my present system I'm running it from on the list | 08:27 |

| albv | so, it's not a network issue, i m sure about it | 09:11 |
| Fearlessness | Well this seems a bit weird but can you try to install other distro like linuxlite. My friend had this problem.tried linuxlite worked like charm | 09:12 |
| Fearlessness | Or if you want try to find and install the needed drivers for your wifi card | 09:13 |

| Guest12345 | So I've got Lubuntu (Utopic) installed on my laptop, and it recognises two sound cards... one HDMI, and one PCH. The HDMI was set to default, so I wasn't getting any output. I've created/edited the asound.conf file in /etc/ setting the default card to the PCH, and I'm now able to hear things. However, it only plays the audio from any one application at a time. I understand that I've to install a software daemon for software mixing | 09:15 |
| Guest12345 | I installed esd, and gstreamer (as mentioned on the ALSA wiki) but wasn't able to find a properties panel to direct the applications to the daemon instead of each one directly taking control of the sound card. Any ideas? | 09:16 |

| kngharv | dear all, my attempt to upgrade from "14.04" to "14.10" amd64 ubuntu-gnome has been a complete failure. it said that the system is left in an inconsistent state. and all attempt to rescure by dpkg --configure -a, apt-get install -f, aptitude build-dep, etc, all give me the same message: process stop due to too many errors" What can I do at this point? | 12:00 |
| updater | lotuspsychje thank you | 12:00 |

| frog | hi | 12:01 |
| frog | how can i pull up a screenmesagge, of a task i started via ssh, after i restart my PC? | 12:01 |
| frog | screenmesage = whatever it is called | 12:02 |
| poli | lotuspsychje: And when I boot grub manually, it drops to initramfs prompt. I am doomed. | 12:02 |
| kngharv | i would like to know if there is a way to "upgrade" again. i have a 14.10 usb, but it only have "install" option, no "upgrade" option, i am afraid that it will erase everything, including all the software i've installed, and change my userID, which I would like to keep it the same | 12:02 |
| cfhowlett | poli, wild card suggestion: try lubuntu | 12:03 |
| poli | cfhowlett: I am already trying ubuntu server, I will mind the graphics when I get the basics... but thanks for the advice. | 12:03 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, use the existing partitions, do not format /home. you should be fine. | 12:04 |
| kngharv | @cfhowlett: but it will reassign user iD, right? and I do have back up what software I've installed? | 12:06 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, it will NOT change the user id. on install you specifically select the existing /home and all your info will be retained. | 12:06 |
| frog | i think i need somethign called tmux or so... | 12:06 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, don't backup your software, backup your data | 12:07 |
| kngharv | @cfhowlett: thank. I will give it a try, neveously. I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04, and this is the first time when upgrade end up in disaster. sigh... | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, backup your data. worst case: you have to rebuild the system. | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | !home | kngharv | 12:09 |
| ubottu | kngharv: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 12:09 |
| kngharv | @ubottu: my home partition is already in a separate partition. | 12:10 |
| kngharv | @cfhowlett: i *AM* backuping up the data as we speak... i am using dd to clone the harddrive to an external one. but the process has been slower than i thought. my haddrive is 1TB and it's been 21 hours... and it's not done yet (my external usb is hooked to a usb/2.0) | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, yea, dd is meticulous and slow. go out for a pint, take a nap and check it afterwards. | 12:12 |

| kngharv | @cfhowlett, @ubottu thanks. i guess i just have to wait until dd is done and reinstall everything | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | gamer, ask your ubuntu support questions | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, with that much data, I'd suggest you investigate ongoing backup solutions. | 12:17 |
| gamer | I have question about irc channell actually.. | 12:17 |
| gamer | guys | 12:19 |
| gamer | this is my first time using irc | 12:19 |

| kngharv | @cfhowlett: i suppose to set up with rsync to back up my data to my NAS on daily basis, never managed to get my rsync script to work properly. I am a 20+ years Linux newbie... sigh... | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | kngharv, :) sounds like you have important stuff saved. ##linux or #ubuntu-server might have some guidance for backup solutions. | 12:21 |
| Walsh | quick question, how do you search for software through the terminal? sudo query apt-get Teamspeak or something along them lines? struggling to find the command. | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | Walsh, apt-cache show package name | 12:23 |
| Walsh | that's the one! :) thanks | 12:23 |

| ubuntuaddicted | AlexPortable, sorry, the directory would be /home/name/.config/google-chrome/newprofilenamehere | 13:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | peins, i would imagine there's logging for an irc server yes. | 13:08 |
| peins | just use ~/ instead of home/name | 13:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | peins, are you asking from a irc client perspective or you actually run a irc server? | 13:09 |
| peins | I actually have IRC server. Me and my friends want to get rid of skype (for Voip we already use teamspeak server) | 13:09 |
| peins | The only issue with irc so far is that it does not save messages like skype does | 13:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | peins, which irc server software are you using? | 13:11 |
| AlexPortable | ubuntuaddicted: --user-data-dir= doesn 't works | 13:12 |

| peins | right now i use unrealircd, but not sure if I will stay with that one | 13:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | AlexPortable, if you issue google-chrome --help you can see setting the --user-data-dir is what you want for loading a certain profile. | 13:13 |

| peins | we dont really like google hangouts | 13:17 |

| peins | ubuntuaddicted, yup, thats what i am using it now. Not the best fps (intel hd 3000) but works probably even better than my crappy gt520mx in windows :O | 13:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | peins, ah yeah, the hd 3000 isnt as good as the newer hd 4600 | 13:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | well this is really irritating. i install the nvidia driver using the .run file but it just won't load. fails to intialize and it says to check the kernel log but that doesn't show anything either. | 13:26 |
| peins | ubuntuaddicted, yeah, gonna buy new laptop soon (lenovo y50). That one, i think, will have hd 4600. Still thinking if it is worth dual booting with windows or make linux only... | 13:26 |

| psso3 | Hi, I am an advanced ubuntu beginner. I want to deal with web-server - which webserver do you recommend for starting? | 14:21 |
| frank_o | k1l_: I swear to God I wish Ubuntu was as simple and straight-forward as OpenBSD | 14:21 |
| frank_o | k1l_: The entire system coming to a halt just because I installed a different Python, that's not cool | 14:21 |
| k1l_ | frank_o: its not that easy as you try to show it here. you changed stuff that a lot of system apps rely on. so i would not blame ubuntu for your fault | 14:23 |
| psso3 | Which webserver do you recommend for beginners? | 14:26 |
| somsip | psso3: Apache is the most widely used, so has lots of support and guides out there | 14:26 |

| k1l_ | Walex2: there are special cases where 32bit might be still better choice. but these users know that they are that cases. for the regular user 64bit is the way to go | 14:39 |

| Finetundra | good morning all. I'm having an issue where if I reopen my laptop it doesn't detect signal from the router. anyone know what's wrong? | 14:57 |
| shaarad | Finetundra: type ifconfig in terminal and see the output category wlan0 | 14:58 |
| abhishek | anyone knows how to set Unity to default, using ubuntustudia with xfce default | 15:03 |
| sam-essy | punaise !! | 15:03 |
| Finetundra | shaarad, what am i looking for there? | 15:07 |
| shaarad | Finetundra : have you got any ip address from that wlan0 interface? | 15:08 |
| Finetundra | shaarad, yes | 15:09 |
| shaarad | Finetundra : so you are connected to that network. Maybe you are getting signals but it's not being shown | 15:10 |
| Finetundra | shaarad, i've reconnected to it by turning off wifi then back on, but thats the only way i've been able to fix it | 15:11 |
| shaarad | So that's the problem of wireless signal indicator and not your network | 15:12 |
| Finetundra | sure | 15:12 |
| shaarad | even I am not an expert, I wanted to help in narrowing down the problem of whether it is a network issue or just the indicator issue :) | 15:13 |

| Aziroshin | Where is /dev/shm configured on ubuntu? I cannot find it in /etc/fstab, and I would like to change the mount point. | 15:28 |
| Aziroshin | I would just add an entry to the fstab, but as /run gets initialized at every start, /run/shm would be missing and mounting the tmpfs would be unsuccessful. | 15:30 |
| Walsh | still not working. | 15:30 |
| shaarad | Finetundra : Sorry, even I don't know the solution. Maybe some other guy might be able to help | 15:31 |
| Aziroshin | Let alone symlinking /run/shm before that "mystical" process setting it up jumps in and does whatever. | 15:31 |

| lotuspsychje | Walsh: nothing more when you try a youtube? | 15:34 |
| Walsh | lotuspsychje: nope | 15:34 |

| SchrodingersScat | pue: since vim is optional, that would make sense? | 15:55 |
| ubottu | Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in trusty | 15:55 |
| raub | pue: Don't think any linux distro comes with real vi; they all have vim which is probably calledvi in ubuntu | 15:55 |
| pue | preinstalled vi is not the same as vim then? | 15:55 |
| raub | pue: So, you could always alias vim to vi and be done | 15:55 |
| raub | preinstalled vi is vim | 15:55 |
| pue | raub: thank you very much | 15:56 |
| somsip | pue: depends what you want to do. Just run vi when entering 'vim', then yes. If you want full/different functionality not included in the default vim, you may need vim-gtk or vim-nox, etc... | 15:56 |
| raub | If you want to see real vi, you need to try solaris or aix | 15:56 |
| Finetundra | what would cause random video freezing? | 15:56 |
| Aziroshin | raub: Wouldn't it compile on Ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| raub | Aziroshin: probably would | 15:56 |
| pue | one more question. how can i check whether i have ubuntu-restricted-extras or not, how can i understand it from command line? | 15:56 |
| pue | with -z ubuntu-restricred-extras? | 15:57 |
| pue | i mean [ -z ubuntu-restricted-extras ] | 15:57 |
| pue | or dpkg --get-selections? | 15:57 |
| raub | pue: that is a package so you need to use a package tool like dpkg | 15:58 |
| pue | raub: so, --get-selections will work i guess | 15:58 |
| pue | raub: thank you very much | 15:58 |
| raub | So I stupidly upgraded my 14.04.1 vm withotu snapshotting. And now I found out I cannot NFS mount any longer | 15:59 |
| pue | oh, guys. vi is not vim. you can try it out. | 16:02 |
| Aziroshin | How would I go about mounting a filesystem in fstab during boot on mount point that on a tmpfs? | 16:06 |
| Aziroshin | After all, that tmpfs will start empty and not have the directory to mount on created yet. | 16:06 |
| lyntoo | /etc/fstab | 16:06 |
| Aziroshin | Will the mount points be created automatically in case the mounted filesystems are tmpfses as well? | 16:07 |

| Aziroshin | One blunt way would be to simply open it in a screen session | 16:21 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| lyntoo | think is something like ~/path/to/script | 16:22 |
| Aziroshin | Oh dear. I can't seem to figure out why /run/shm is't available in a chroot. | 16:23 |
| daftykins | MrSavage: run it from the dash icon instead of from a terminal | 16:23 |
| Aziroshin | I even mounted the actual shm into the chroot's root directory and made the actual host system have bind mounts to that location. Even with that radical approach, the chroot simply behaves as if there was nothing mounted on /run/shm. | 16:24 |
| onla | fans keep too much noise I don't like it. I set pwmconfig and something but meh. the cpu fan spins at some 4000rpm and more when the temp is over 40C, but when it reaches 38-40C it spins at around 3800rpm which is still noisy | 16:24 |
| MrSavage | daftykins: you mean that search thing? | 16:24 |
| daftykins | yes | 16:24 |
| sonetea | MrSavage: alt+f2 | 16:24 |
| daftykins | the 'new' Alt+F2 | 16:24 |
| Aziroshin | There is a work around that has been suggested on some website, using --chroot-directory to chroot - the problem is, I am actually using "schroot", which changes the game completely again I suppose - beginning with the fact that it doesn't have that option. | 16:25 |
| sonetea | or you could run it through tmux | 16:25 |
| MrSavage | daftykins: I didn't install it this software, i extracted it from a .tar and put it in /opt and /usr/local/bin | 16:25 |
| daftykins | and now you're gone | 16:25 |
| sonetea | rip | 16:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | MrSavage: can maybe background it with & | 16:26 |
| sonetea | MrSavage: the alternative is install tmux and running it through there | 16:26 |

| YourPlaceOrMine | thanks! | 16:44 |
| lyntoo | dlsensei: http://pastebin.com/PkGn73aJ | 16:44 |
| kost | the way of installing ubuntu is to go (the simple) on their custom site, then you are going to follow the step that says for install it with usb. | 16:45 |
| Aziroshin | Gah, I configured all the /run related tmpfs filesystems in a custom fashion in /etc/fstab, but somehow something is still mounting different tmpfs instances ontop of them. | 16:45 |
| dlsensei | no i just need to reinstall software center | 16:45 |
| dlsensei | its corrupted | 16:45 |
| lyntoo | before reinstall, you must remove and purge the program | 16:46 |

| imLOST | is DWG viewer available for Ubuntu ? | 16:48 |
| sacarlson | imLOST: there are many dwg viewers in ubuntu, there should be one setup as default that will work from nautilus | 16:49 |
| lyntoo | I only use synaptic, never bug | 16:50 |
| sacarlson | imLOST: oh maybe you mean dwg like autocad file viewer? | 16:50 |

| dlsensei | i need to change my software update to ubuntu server | 16:51 |
| dlsensei | how? | 16:51 |
| imLOST | sacarlson, Autocad one | 16:51 |
| andlabs | Hi. Is there a ppa-purge that does NOT depend on aptitude? Thanks. | 16:52 |
| PhantomPhreak53 | Hey I messed up and removed /usr/local/bin/php. I have tried apt-get purge php5 and to reinstall it but it won't restore that directory. What am I missing? | 16:52 |
| sacarlson | imLOST: look like there is dwg viewr support, I'm not sure what version of autocad they will view http://lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/ | 16:53 |
| imLOST | sacarlson, so not official viewer from AutoDesk for Ubuntu ? | 16:53 |
| dlsensei | ummm | 16:54 |
| imLOST | ok I wish they had one, why do not they even release the viewers | 16:54 |
| daftykins | talk to them | 16:54 |
| lyntoo | php5 is on /usr/bin/php5 | 16:55 |
| plotino | hi | 16:57 |
| imLOST | daftykins, I did but they say we do not support those platforms yet | 16:58 |
| daftykins | imLOST: good stuff. | 16:58 |
| plotino | do you know what is the program or plugin that alows to open a bash shell in the current position from a nautilis window | 16:58 |
| sacarlson | imLOST: I see some of autodesk software on linux but not autocad as far as I know. you can export dwg to dxf and use tools in linux to edit and do anything with them | 16:58 |

| EriC^^ | onla: it will be added to your $PATH when you login | 17:01 |
| EriC^^ | ( ~/bin ) | 17:01 |

| onla | Do I need to install the zsh environment? I don't think they mention it on the site | 17:01 |
| EriC^^ | maybe | 17:02 |

| daftykins | JQ: i don't know what point you're trying to make, either way it's not relevant here | 17:31 |
| LemonSqueeze | I have just installed ubuntu, not familiar, but did a clean install over windows. I have a nVidia graphics card and had installed steam, but when playing a a game I found that it could only play smoothly on really low quality | 17:32 |
| LemonSqueeze | so i looked around | 17:32 |
| LemonSqueeze | seeing if there was a was to download or enable my graphics card | 17:32 |
| daftykins | what card? | 17:33 |
| LemonSqueeze | nvidia geforce 560M | 17:33 |
| LemonSqueeze | i looked around | 17:33 |
| daftykins | oh laptop then :( | 17:33 |
| LemonSqueeze | yes | 17:33 |
| daftykins | yeah look into nvidia-prime via the additional drivers menu | 17:33 |
| Aziroshin | JQ: That's possible. If that's the case, then please give them a _really_ hard time about it. And, of course, if applicable, even try to get your money back. Manufacturers that are hostile to to a free society understand only one language: money. | 17:33 |
| daftykins | sounds like an nvidia optimus setup | 17:33 |
| LemonSqueeze | but I read online (reddit) that a guy with my exact graphics card is running games on ubuntu perfectly | 17:34 |
| LemonSqueeze | so | 17:34 |
| LemonSqueeze | i did some looking around | 17:34 |
| daftykins | yeah, probably with drivers installed | 17:34 |
| LemonSqueeze | and came across this thing called bumblebee | 17:34 |
| daftykins | LemonSqueeze: yes, looking around 3x now. | 17:34 |
| daftykins | bumblebee is the older approach, i'd try nvidia-prime first. | 17:34 |
| LemonSqueeze | ok | 17:34 |
| LemonSqueeze | where do I find nvidia prime | 17:35 |
| JQ | Aziroshin:Thanks for understanding.. | 17:35 |
| LemonSqueeze | and undo the harm that i did with bumblebee | 17:35 |
| LemonSqueeze | cause now my screen is blown up to a lower resolution | 17:35 |
| daftykins | oh right so you've already tried with bumblebee? you didn't get so far as explaining that part | 17:35 |

| daftykins | LemonSqueeze: ok please run "lspci | pastebinit" | 17:51 |

| daftykins | because it works | 17:53 |
| lyntoo | grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:53 |
| Aziroshin | JQ: A "real world" test could be to run a game where you know that a certain setting (say, textures) is supposed to use a certain amount of video memory. Starcraft II would prove handy in that regard, as you can choose a setting that is too high. If it is, the textures on the map will have black stripes. | 17:54 |

| JQ | Aziroshin: i m new to xubuntu.Is there a MAME versin for ubuntu | 17:56 |
| Aziroshin | JQ: are you asking because you feel a game you're running isn't using all the resources available? In case it's not a native game, but you are running it through wine, there is a registry key called "VideoMemorySize (source: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys). | 17:56 |

| Valduare | is there a way I can mark it off and use this drive still | 18:20 |
| bekks | Valduare: How old is that drive? | 18:21 |

| IonaBlu23 | most hard drives are warrantied for 3 years... some for 5. | 18:23 |
| Valduare | dont have receipt for it | 18:23 |
| IonaBlu23 | well - just saying it might be better to replace it. | 18:24 |
| IonaBlu23 | depends on the importance of the data. | 18:24 |
| Trudko | wols_ the ssd | 18:24 |
| IonaBlu23 | and honestly, really important data should be on hard drives, on a server in a RAID array, imho | 18:25 |
| bekks | Valduare: You did not answer my questions yet. | 18:25 |
| bekks | Valduare: How old is that drive, and did you run a full fileystem check yet? | 18:25 |
| Valduare | it is under 4 years old | 18:25 |
| daftykins | Valduare: can you share the SMART output from smartctl? | 18:26 |

| Valduare | will -f let it get past just stating bad superblock? | 18:27 |
| bekks | Valduare: Can you please pastebin the full output you can see, along with the command that produces that output? | 18:27 |

| Bitwise_ | Hello. I just installed Ubuntu server 14.04 on VMWare with Windows 7 as the host. During the initial setup the network configuration failed, I think because I'm using a wireless adapter on the host. Is there a way to run that same reconfigure script from inside the tty1? I need it to be bridged so I can port forward to the VM. | 18:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | Foxhoundz: xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce, you can install as many different desktop environments as you want. | 18:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bitwise_: VMware should present the network interface as a virtual network adapter with it's own address. | 18:40 |
| jacobmischka | I've read the guidelines and it doesn't really say how long you should wait before trying to ask again, so I'm wondering if an hour and a half is reasonable enough or not. Can anyone help me troubleshooting my touchpad? It was detected on boot one time, but I can't get it to do it again, nor do I know why it worked that one time. | 18:41 |
| Bitwise_ | jhutchins_wk, NAT won't give the VM it's own IP address on my LAN? | 18:42 |
| Foxhoundz | jhutchins_wk: well the thing is I installed the xfce4 package | 18:44 |
| Foxhoundz | but when I log in it still goes into Unity | 18:44 |
| Foxhoundz | I want to completely disable any traces of Unity, including that hideous purple login screen | 18:44 |
| Foxhoundz | and use the xfce login and desktop environment | 18:44 |
| Foxhoundz | There were no options in the login screen to select a DE | 18:45 |

| Valduare | whats the command | 18:56 |
| Valduare | i’ll try and make pastebin thats short enough for me to type on this computer by hand lol | 18:56 |
| bubbasaures | grubissue, The first mnt command is the error? | 18:57 |
| grubissue | sudo chroot /mnt at this one | 18:57 |

| jacobmischka | sns_, had you tried simply installing xboxdrv itself? yes, I'm looking at that page already | 18:58 |
| grubissue | bubbasaures: i should mount sda right? not sda4 ecc ? | 18:59 |
| bubbasaures | grubissue, As you run each command it should show no error. | 18:59 |

| jacobmischka | sns_, I've always had to run it as sudo, but it's worked fine | 19:00 |

| daftykins | DreamPCs: you only share the driver from the host if you want it to be auto, you can just install it manually on the Windows end | 19:19 |
| grubissue | jhutchins_wk: partition table gpt what dos that mean? strange i'm having trouble mounting the right partition | 19:19 |
| Wordsman | i believe that any windows box that adds the printer will search locally for a windowes driver so u dont need cupts | 19:19 |
| Wordsman | err | 19:19 |

| jhutchins_wk | Wordsman: Use the command line. Running file managers as root is very dangerous. | 19:19 |

| DreamPCs | daftykins Ok but do I need a special CUPS driver or can I use the regular hardware driver that came with the printer | 19:20 |
| JokesOnYou77 | I want to see if installing a manufacturer's driver helps fix a LAN speed issue. If it doesn't, how can I revert to what is installed by default (possibly without internet)? | 19:20 |

| DreamPCs | Wordsman: try opening the original directory with gksu (where the fonts you want to copy are) and copy the fonts, navigate (using the same window) to /usr/share/fonts and paste it | 19:20 |

| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: though i can certainly tell you that changing 'driver' is a waste of time since LAN transfer works fine | 19:34 |
| daftykins | there isn't anything magically different about internet connectivity versus LAN | 19:35 |
| daftykins | other than that your internet connection could have issues / your speed tests not great | 19:35 |

| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, Really crappy. But Now I'm wondering if it's hardware. This is a home LAN and I'm using re-purposed routers as switches, some of them very old. It may be my configuration that's changed since my last tests. But something is still hinky because my download speed from the internet is also slow and now I'm wondering if Verizon is really the one to blame... | 19:42 |
| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: switch switch then :) | 19:43 |
| LemonSqueeze | jhutchins_wk: so it just like a driver issue? It's not completely disconnected or something, I mean 4286 act as arrowkeys, +-*/, work correctly, and " . " acts as a delete key.... | 19:43 |

| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, It looks like it was the switches :P SHould have known better than to accuse the software. | 19:48 |

| jhutchins_wk | LemonSqueeze: If there are a lot of people using linux on that laptop someone will probably come up with drivers for the unusual hardware, or ways to map it. | 19:49 |
| LemonSqueeze | jhutchins_wk: ok thanks | 19:49 |
| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, Well, the router itself is gigabit, but ofc I don't have enough ports. When I was in school I couldn't afford new hardware so I just repurposed old stuff, but now that's getting silly :P | 19:50 |

| freezevee | and I mounted a vboxfs volume | 19:54 |
| freezevee | daftykins: aha do you think that this matters | 19:54 |
| daftykins | freezevee: undoubtedly, what is the file system? | 19:54 |
| freezevee | daftykins: is there something I can do for it ? It doesn't change any other than root:root | 19:54 |
| freezevee | daftykins: vboxfs says | 19:54 |
| LemonSqueeze | jhutchins_wk: i figured it out, I had to enable numlock through the bios and the terminal, did it all on one restart... thanks for helping find the way | 19:55 |
| daftykins | freezevee: er, what? pastebin the output of "mount" | 19:55 |
| AlexPortable | bubbasaures: so how do i log out? | 19:55 |

| MagicSpud | hello anybody uses popcorn time? copy pasting magnet links is not working for me and it is version 3.4 | 19:56 |
| daftykins | freezevee: i don't follow? | 19:56 |
| xangua | /j #popcorntime | 19:56 |
| bubbasaures | AlexPortable, Not sure your exact issue, my link was a full freeze up option. | 19:56 |
| freezevee | daftykins: vmSites on /media/sf_vmSites type vboxsf (gid=999,rw) | 19:56 |
| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, out of curiosity now, I'd still like to look at my LAN driver as I'm not sure how to revert it, or compare it to what I get from the manufacturer. I have the output of lshw but the version there looks newer than what's no the manufacturer's website, which is confusing | 19:57 |
| daftykins | freezevee: is it a disk image you tried to mount? | 19:57 |
| v3zz | if you install ubuntu on top of lvm with enryption, using full disk, and after that if you break your system partition and cannot boot, how can you restore data from /home /media/myData ? is it possible at all? | 19:57 |
| freezevee | daftykins: nope | 19:57 |
| freezevee | daftykins: it's a vbox share | 19:57 |
| v3zz | i believe if you cannot boot - you cannot decrypt... | 19:58 |
| daftykins | freezevee: ah, go ask in #vbox then | 19:58 |
| freezevee | daftykins: roger that | 19:59 |
| freezevee | thanks | 19:59 |
| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: i really don't tend to think of LAN drivers as things you update or change, in Linux - as you do with Windows. so i'm no use there | 19:59 |
| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, actually, scratch that. It ain't broke I won't break it. I have a a different problem. I looks like just having those switches on my network is cutting my speedtest.net download speed in half. Is it possible those old switches are actually clogging the network somehow? | 20:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | JokesOnYou77: What manufacturer is this that supplies a linux driver outside the kernel tree? | 20:00 |
| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: speedtest.net is rubbish, try some actual Linux ISO downloads from local mirrors | 20:00 |
| boopdrop | anyone help me out really quick? having a problem installing on my new computer | 20:02 |
| xangua | !ask | 20:02 |
| daftykins | you have to explain what's happening first | 20:02 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:02 |
| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, don't need to be good or bad. Ran 10 tests with the old networks on my LAN and then 10 after. AVG DL speed decreased by 8 Mbit/s (and I only pay for 25 down so that's a lot). | 20:02 |

| JokesOnYou77 | "JokesOnYou77: speedtest.net is rubbish, try some actual Linux ISO downloads from local mirrors" | 20:03 |
| daftykins | yes. | 20:03 |
| JokesOnYou77 | I was just making the point that the source of the test is irrelevant to what I was observing | 20:04 |
| daftykins | it actually is entirely relevant | 20:04 |
| JokesOnYou77 | I can do an iperf with a remote host, think that would be better? | 20:04 |
| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: my internet connection consistently performs better in real world versus the stats speedtest.net shows, so that makes it a rubbish test. | 20:04 |

| daftykins | JokesOnYou77: i already said how to test more effectively :) | 20:05 |
| JokesOnYou77 | daftykins, the point I was trying to make is that it looks like having those old switches on my LAN is clogging the network somehow and I was wondering is that was possible. I can try the ISO download as well but it seems pretty clear that something is going on to me | 20:06 |

| ex-parrot | the concept doesn't map directly kamx | 20:48 |
| ex-parrot | executable files in a unix-like environment typically just have their 'executable' bit set in the filesystem | 20:49 |
| kamx | i mean the executable files in ubuntu are basically replaced with what extensions? | 20:49 |

| kamx | ok! i got you. | 20:50 |
| k1l_ | kamx: file-extensions is a windows setup. you dont need file extensions if the file says what it is in the header of that file | 20:50 |
| ex-parrot | look instead for an 'x' in the output of ls -l or stat when listing the file | 20:51 |
| k1l_ | kamx: and as a hint: on ubuntu you dont load all the stuff from websites like on windows. you first look if ubuntu already ships that in the official ubuntu package system | 20:51 |

| Blaster | How do I verify it? | 21:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Blaster, did you verify its checksum before writing the iso to the ubs? | 21:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | *usb | 21:16 |
| Blaster | No. | 21:16 |
| EriC^^ | Blaster: start by doing a checksum on the iso you used. | 21:16 |
| Goldwing | Blaster : i had a similar problem, did a fresh install from USB but every time i installed the videocard was not recognized, mouse didnt work and LAN didnt work.. i remade te USB and reinstalled, and everything worked like a charm | 21:17 |
| Blaster | Hmm interesting. | 21:17 |
| Blaster | If the checksum verifies, does that rule all that out? | 21:17 |
| Goldwing | Blaster: somehow the part that handeled the modules was corrupted on the USB | 21:17 |
| Goldwing | blaster : yes | 21:18 |

| Crell | Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the right room for this but I'm unclear what would be. I've a vagrant box running locally, mapped to a 192.168... IP address. My /etc/hosts file has that IP mapped to a domain name. | 21:37 |
| Crell | I can ping that domain name from the command line and it loads fine. When I try to access that domain in a browser, though, it says it can't connect. | 21:37 |

| Bashing-om | Crell: As ping works, but the 'name' does not, generally indicitive that DNS is not enabled . | 21:42 |
| Crell | Actually I figured out the issue. My vagrant setup script is failing to install apache correctly for as yet unknown reasons. Which would of course make browsers fail at connecting. :-) | 21:42 |

| Goldwing | dd = Copy and Convert | 21:55 |
| Blaster | Convert to what? | 21:55 |
| bekks | dd is a tool that operates on block level and which can be used for various things - even for copying a file onto an USB. | 21:55 |
| Goldwing | only "cc" was allready used in *nix, so they called it "dd" | 21:55 |
| EriC^^ | it is a low level copier, it can make bit for bit copies, like if you want to image a hard disk (including the partition tables and everything) it can do that | 21:55 |

| rebs | wrong server :p | 21:57 |

| NoobsFlyVFR | Hello, I installed an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server on a headless server with LUKS-Encrypted LVM, but every time it starts up, it asks for the passphrase. Is there any way to automatically decrypt it on boot? | 22:07 |
| Blaster | I'm trying to install an Ubuntu guest through libvirt, but when I use virt-viewer it's just sitting at that Ubuntu screen with the 5 circles blinking below it. | 22:08 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: It is not easy if you want the encryption to make sense | 22:09 |
| Blaster | Is it because 256mb of ram is not enough? | 22:09 |
| EriC^^ | CheckDavid: unmount the usb ( sudo umount /dev/sdx ) | 22:09 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | blaaa, so it's not possible? | 22:09 |
| === Red_M is now known as Guest75466 | ||
| EriC^^ | CheckDavid: then dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdx bs=1M | 22:10 |
| bekks | Blaster: Use the nomodeset kernel option for booting. And 256M is far too less for a reasonable good Ubuntu experience, when using a desktop. | 22:10 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | I've seen articles on how to get it to work by invoking ssh in init.d but I want it to boot without having to SSH to it. | 22:10 |
| EriC^^ | CheckDavid: make sure you have the usb's /dev/sdx | 22:10 |
| bekks | NoobsFlyVFR: Automatically decroyting it would make no sense, and would make the encryption useless. | 22:10 |
| Ben64 | NoobsFlyVFR: if you want it to decrypt automatically, then what is the point of having it encrypted at all | 22:10 |
| Blaster | bekks, I only want a server. I guess I need to figure out how to install it using CLI. | 22:10 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: it is possible, but you will need to store the key in some way accessible to the server | 22:10 |
| k1l | CheckDavid: sorry for the confusion. i thought for a debian user, dd was a known program. | 22:10 |
| bekks | Blaster: Just use the server iso. | 22:10 |
| EriC^^ | CheckDavid: as a mistake in the /dev/sdx could destroy the disk | 22:11 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | Well, that makes fair sense. | 22:11 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: if the key is accessible to the server, it is difficult to have it not accessible to someone with access to the server | 22:11 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | But can I invoke OpenSSH daemon at startup? | 22:11 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | So I could enter the passphrase from SSH? | 22:11 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: you could have the volume mounted after a system with sshd is running | 22:12 |
| Ben64 | NoobsFlyVFR: are you sure you need encryption? it just makes everything more difficult | 22:13 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | I am certain I do not need encryption, although the problem remains, it used to be the HDD from a desktop, which I moved to a headless server. | 22:13 |
| skinux | Somehow, Weather Indicator for KDE is popping up in Ubuntu default DE? | 22:14 |
| CheckDavid | k1l: the thing is that I am an odd guy. I am a non geek using Linux. | 22:14 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: to unlock the volume remotely only makes sense if you have some way to check if the hardware and software are safe and untampered with | 22:14 |
| CheckDavid | EriC^^: I am going the unetbootin route I guess | 22:14 |
| Ben64 | NoobsFlyVFR: so reinstall without encryption | 22:14 |
| EriC^^ | CheckDavid: sounds good | 22:14 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: Ben64 has a good suggestion I'd say | 22:14 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | Reinstalling seems like a lot of work. Although it might be the only way I have left, now. I've checked the article http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5017/ssh-to-decrypt-encrypted-lvm-during-headless-server-boot which seems relevant. | 22:15 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | But it explains the procedure for dropbear. | 22:15 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | If I install dropbear if I already have OpenSSHd running, does it cause a problem? | 22:15 |
| blaaa | NoobsFlyVFR: you could just transfer the contents of the (decrypted) encrypted volume to a new unencrypted volume | 22:15 |
| NoobsFlyVFR | True that, blaaa. | 22:15 |
| k1l | CheckDavid: i doesnt really fit into the nerd picture myself, but its a good sign that linux works for regular users nowadays :) | 22:16 |

| EriC^^ | puke: open the dash, type sublime and drag the icon to the launcher | 22:58 |
| EriC^^ | puke: you mean it's not in the dash? | 22:58 |

| puke | EriC^^: i mean the panel on the left | 23:01 |
| Sunstream | do not forget for those who have a "daylight savings time" in your area tonight (for the US at least except Arizona) you need to set the clocks back an hour at 2AM | 23:02 |
| EriC^^ | puke: i don't follow | 23:02 |
| EriC^^ | puke: if it's in /usr/share/applications , you can type it's name in the dash and it should show up | 23:02 |
| puke | EriC^^: if there's a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/, doesn't it have to have an icon in the launcher? | 23:03 |
| daftykins | Sunstream: that was last night. it happens sunday AM | 23:03 |
| puke | EriC^^: i guess dash is the panel that opens when i press the super key. | 23:04 |
| EriC^^ | puke: yes | 23:04 |
| puke | EriC^^: i'm not talking about that. i'm talking about the panel on the left. | 23:04 |
| EriC^^ | puke: ok, the launcher | 23:04 |
| EriC^^ | if there's a desktop file in /usr/share/applications | 23:04 |
| puke | you know, there's trash there. there's amazon thingy when you make a fresh install. | 23:04 |
| puke | the launcher? | 23:04 |
| EriC^^ | it can be there and not be in the launcher, yes | 23:05 |
| puke | EriC^^: what causes this? | 23:05 |
| EriC^^ | what do you mean? | 23:05 |
| puke | do i have to add new info to .desktop fie? | 23:05 |
| EriC^^ | i still don't follow | 23:05 |
| Sunstream | Thats right | 23:05 |
| Sunstream | hehe | 23:05 |
| trism | puke: the icons in the launcher are in: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites | 23:05 |
| EriC^^ | what exactly are you trying to achieve | 23:05 |
| trism | puke: they are just names of .desktop files from /usr/share/applications/ (or ~/.local/share/applications/) | 23:06 |
| Sunstream | forgot | 23:06 |
| Sunstream | heh | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | puke: you mean it doesn't have an icon? | 23:06 |
| Sunstream | Reset clock | 23:06 |

| isene | Samsung laptop (NP900X, series 9) - running "samsung-tools -c silent" (to turn off the incessant fan) reveals "CPU fan control is not available" (I did get fan control on my old, identical machine that was upgradet from 12.10/13.04/13.10/14.04, but with my new laptop and a clean 14.04 install, I cannot control the fan). I have googled and googled and yet some and keep running into a brick wall here. Anyone with a bit more brain juice than me | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | puke: open the dash, and type the name of the program, and then drag and drop it into the launcher, it'll appear there | 23:07 |
| puke | trism EriC^^ i'm trying to put an icon to launcher. i have to have a .desktop file for that, but it already is a .desktop file | 23:07 |
| puke | EriC^^: how can i do that in the console? | 23:07 |
| Sunstream | I forogt that was last night okay silly me | 23:07 |
| puke | EriC^^: it happens when I drag and drop. but how can i do it in command line? | 23:08 |
| trism | puke: just add it to the list in the gsettings key I just listed | 23:08 |
| puke | trism: thank you very much | 23:08 |

| willpowers | I created a guest VM using libvirt (quemu+kvm) and I can't figure out how to connect to it via SSH. | 23:12 |
| willpowers | I think I am using bridged networking. | 23:12 |
| willpowers | virsh -c qemu+ssh://demo@localhost/system says connection refused on port 22. | 23:12 |
| reisio | willpowers: same way you connect to any install via ssh | 23:12 |
| willpowers | I installed OpenSSH on the guest. | 23:13 |

Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-37-generic (x86_64)" and the same when I then installed the easy-slow-down-manager package. Is there a known issue with dkms? | 23:13 |

| jrib | kevin: also, pastebin output of "apt-cache policy gnome-session-common" | 23:16 |
| kevin | jrib: uhhmm i think i was going from saucy to trusty. here's the output: http://pastebin.com/EdLr9H1e | 23:17 |
| jrib | kevin: I assume these gnome-session- packages came from unofficial repos? | 23:22 |
| kevin | jrib: i cannot recall, but i guess so...? | 23:22 |
| jrib | kevin: this is what is causing your issue. Saucy had version 1 (simplifying to integers), your unofficial repo had version 3. And now in 14.04 only version 2 is available. so apt sees that you have the later version and won't install the earlier stuff | 23:23 |
| jrib | kevin: you can either add the unofficial repo back assuming they have packages for trusty or remove/downgrade all packages it provided and finish upgrading | 23:24 |
| kevin | jrib: oh i see. thank for breaking it down for me. after i take one of those resolution methods, how do i continue the upgrade? do-release-upgrade says there's no upgrad, and "lsb_release -a" already says i'm at trusty | 23:26 |
| jrib | kevin: start with "dpkg --configure -a" to configure any packages left to configure and then just do a normal "apt-get dist-upgrade". But pay very close attention to output before agreeing since sometimes you might end up with apt wanting to just remove half of your system do to deps issues | 23:27 |

| willpowers | What's the proper networking type for a libvirt VM so you can access it via SSH from the host? | 23:27 |
| kevin | jrib: alright, thanks for the help. | 23:29 |
| reisio | willpowers: should work as long as the ip isn't the same as the host's | 23:30 |
| reisio | I'd imagine nat | 23:30 |
| reisio | ask #kvm | 23:30 |
| Jericho | #minerealms-chat | 23:35 |
| Loshki | willpowers: Dunno what libvirt is, but for vmware/virtualbox I usually use bridged networking. That way, the VM instance looks just like another IP host sitting on the same network segment. | 23:40 |
| willpowers | Loshki, how do you find out the IP of the guest VM when using bridged networking? | 23:41 |

| Loshki | willpowers: that's up to the guest. But generally, the same way it would if it were running native. Either you tell it, or it asks DHCP... | 23:44 |
| Loshki | zut alors! | 23:45 |
| willpowers | Loshki, so if I do ifconfig on the guest, that would print the IP I would SSH to from the host? | 23:45 |
| Loshki | willpowers: yep, just like if it were running physically on your iron. Note the host and the guest are on the same network but have different IP addresses, just as would 'real' machines sitting on your network. | 23:48 |
