[00:06] <Timoty>  Hello, anyone knows how to enable fixed-point in gccH
[00:07] <lawn_gnome> hmm.
[00:07] <lawn_gnome> TotallyNotMikeyP it failed?
[00:08] <TotallyNotMikeyP> yeah. doesn't seem to be doing anything elae now

[00:08] <ubuntu_y> hi all. anyone can tell me the best and secure vpn????
[00:08] <lawn_gnome> TotallyNotMikeyP ok um...
[00:09] <lawn_gnome> what option did you hit?
[00:09] <TotallyNotMikeyP> install
[00:09] <TotallyNotMikeyP> i tried live mode a million times :/
[00:10] <lawn_gnome> did you say to wipe and install it?
[00:10] <rypervenche> I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a separate partition on my system. I have Windows 8.1 on my first partition. When I boot I don't have the choice to boot into Windows. How can I resolve this? (Using UEFI)
[00:10] <ghandi> i got some weird problems installing 14.10
[00:10] <TotallyNotMikeyP> how do i choose to wipe and install? i want it on a seperate partition
[00:11] <ghandi> http://pastebin.com/ETGVdRmd
[00:11] <lawn_gnome> TotallyNotMikeyP: try booting windows and using the disk utility to resize its partition
[00:12] <lawn_gnome> then install Ubuntu in the empty space
[00:12] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: IF booting to ubuntu -> terminal, try terminal command -> sudo update-grub <-. See if that picks up and chainloads Windows for ya.
[00:12] <TotallyNotMikeyP> well it doesnt even get to the install part
[00:12] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: I'll try that. THanks.
[00:13] <lawn_gnome> TotallyNotMikeyP: huh?
[00:13] <lawn_gnome> what does it say before that?
[00:14] <lawn_gnome> can you pastebin the boot.log?
[00:14] <TotallyNotMikeyP> nothing. it hangs at the splash screen.
[00:14] <TotallyNotMikeyP>  sure, wheres the log saved?
[00:14] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: Doesn't look like it does. Only my Linux kernels.
[00:15] <lawn_gnome> http://askubuntu.com/questions/330407/how-to-save-boot-log-from-failed-boot
[00:16] <lawn_gnome> oh wait nvm
[00:16] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: In the process, Windows was not seen ?
[00:16] <lawn_gnome> heh
[00:16] <TotallyNotMikeyP> :/
[00:16] <TotallyNotMikeyP> is there not a 12.04 wubi i can use?
[00:16] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: Correct. http://pastebin.com/c55JAugn
[00:17] <lawn_gnome> i dont know. are you using UEFI?
[00:17] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: Look'n
[00:17] <TotallyNotMikeyP> bios uefi?
[00:17] <lawn_gnome> yes
[00:18] <TotallyNotMikeyP> nope. its just your typical bios
[00:18] <lawn_gnome> hmm
[00:18] <lawn_gnome> go to the bios setup
[00:18] <Commodore94> Hi! Little question: In the Unix/Linux OS, a "System call" can call another "System call"?
[00:19] <lawn_gnome> what does usb options say
[00:19] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: UnGood ! .. what have we got on the hard drive ? -> sudo parted -l | pastebinit <- .
[00:19] <TotallyNotMikeyP> not sure, youll have to give me a moment, i cant figure out how to get rid of 13.04
[00:20] <TotallyNotMikeyP> oo wait a minute
[00:20] <lawn_gnome> wha?
[00:21] <TotallyNotMikeyP> ive found a 12.04 wubi similar to rhe 13.04 one i used
[00:21] <TotallyNotMikeyP> maybe i can use it.
[00:21] <daftykins> myself and other volunteers would highly recommend against ever using WUBI
[00:21] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: I was able to mount it via NTFS-3g, but it looks as though fastboot was enabled, so I could only do it in r/o mode: http://pastebin.com/nxrfJBNH (gdisk at bottom)
[00:21] <daftykins> TotallyNotMikeyP: don't do it if you can avoid it.
[00:21] <daftykins> and it can always be avoided.
[00:21] <lawn_gnome> yes
[00:21] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: Oh, you wanted parted. One sec.
[00:22] <TotallyNotMikeyP> Well with all the problems ive been having trying to get the usb method to work on this machine id say its worth a shot :/?
[00:22] <lawn_gnome> try just using windows disk util to delete the ubuntu partition
[00:22] <daftykins> i would seriously say no
[00:22] <TotallyNotMikeyP> i literally cant get to the install through all mt usbs :/
[00:22] <lawn_gnome> listen to him ^
[00:22] <lawn_gnome> what machine?
[00:23] <ghandi> my grub doesnt want to get installd after upgrade http://pastebin.com/ETGVdRmd
[00:23] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: My concern is that the Windows install no longer exists, we need to see the partitioning from -> sudo parted -l | pastebinit <- .
[00:23] <TotallyNotMikeyP> its a stupid old compaq
[00:23] <TotallyNotMikeyP> from around 2006
[00:24] <Ahmuck> is there a bare bones install for ubuntu?
[00:24] <daftykins> Ahmuck: yeah mini.iso
[00:24] <TotallyNotMikeyP> whats that?
[00:24] <lawn_gnome> ^
[00:24] <TotallyNotMikeyP> can i make a drive from mini.iso?
[00:24] <lawn_gnome> yes
[00:24] <Ahmuck> i can't seem to locate it on this page http://releases.ubuntu.com/utopic/
[00:25] <TotallyNotMikeyP> maybe i could give that a shot
[00:25] <OerHeks> !mini
[00:25] <EriC^^> TotallyNotMikeyP: try 14.04
[00:25] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/0JcPtCSU
[00:25] <EriC^^> TotallyNotMikeyP: is it installing successfully?
[00:25] <TotallyNotMikeyP> hmm ill try 14.04 first
[00:25] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: Look'n
[00:26] <TotallyNotMikeyP>  no, it hangs before i even reach the installation part of the setup
[00:26] <TotallyNotMikeyP> during the boot, i guess
[00:27] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: Single hard drive ? as Windows does NOT exist on this drive .
[00:27] <sonetea> TotallyNotMikeyP: what errors do you get when you press "delete" on the loading screen
[00:27] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: Windows is on the first partition.
[00:28] <rypervenche> Is it not?
[00:28] <Ahmuck> i have a windows program i would like to run but am not sure it will.  is Wine still the package i need?
[00:28] <sonetea> or where is it stuck on
[00:28] <daftykins> TotallyNotMikeyP: is this system memtest stable?
[00:28] <sonetea> Ahmuck: yes
[00:28] <TotallyNotMikeyP> ill try pressing delete next time i try
[00:28] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: ...that's just a data partition, isn't it?
[00:28] <Ahmuck> thx.  i had heard there was another program that ran games better
[00:28] <TotallyNotMikeyP> im just downloading 14.04 instead
[00:28] <sonetea> TotallyNotMikeyP: i can't remember if it's delete or enter
[00:28] <lawn_gnome> its delete
[00:29] <sonetea> Ahmuck: yes playonlinux is a front end for wine
[00:29] <TotallyNotMikeyP> alt-enter shows me the goings on
[00:29] <sonetea> you might want to install that
[00:29] <lawn_gnome> or esc
[00:29] <TotallyNotMikeyP> thought it returns fail for 'restore sound card state'
[00:29] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: "ntfs            Microsoft basic data  " Not seen it in this format . Think'n .
[00:31] <sonetea> Bashing-om: do you know your sound card model?
[00:31] <Bashing-om> sonetea: No I do not right off hand ( I do not have audio on this station ) .
[00:32] <efgsdsdfs> exit
[00:32] <sonetea> oops sorry Bashing-om meant to ping TotallyNotMikeyP
[00:32] <TotallyNotMikeyP> alright, time to try .04
[00:32] <lawn_gnome> heh
[00:32] <bray90820> How would someone add a power button to a case that doesn't have one
[00:33] <TotallyNotMikeyP> : nah, im guessing realtek, its intergrated
[00:33] <daftykins> bray90820: that's more a question for the 'hardware' channel
[00:33] <bray90820> OOPS I was in completely the wrong channel my bad

[00:34] <lawn_gnome> my dog decided to curl up next to me. using him as a mousepad now.
[00:34] <Bashing-om> rypervenche: Let's have others with greater knowledge & experience with Windows look at this. ( need to look into " 105MB   fat32           EFI System            boot ", see what is there, too ) .
[00:34] <daftykins> Windows and EFI
[00:35] <daftykins> lets see
[00:35] <rypervenche> Bashing-om: I made that for EFI to work. It wouldn't install Ubuntu without it.
[00:35] <rypervenche> I'm very new to UEFI, so I could very well have done things wrongly.
[00:35] <daftykins> rypervenche: wow that disk is a mess
[00:35] <ghandi> well unicorn just crashed my system
[00:36] <ghandi> great job
[00:36] <daftykins> ghandi: trust me, you won't get much assistance in here with that attitude
[00:36] <lawn_gnome> ghandi: details please
[00:36] <ghandi> well i posted it like 15 minutes ago a pastebin

[00:37] <nahtnam> Hey! I am trying to connect to my NXT core via bluetooth. I need to set the pin to 1234. When I do, pin options, and click 1234, and then press next, it shows a 6 digit number and then says then connection failed. I NEED 1234 to connect to the device
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <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] <daftykins> ty
[00:38] <Bashing-om> daftykins: rypervenche :: I will bow to daftykins at this time ( or any other too ) .
[00:39] <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: http://pastebin.com/HAanD1GE
[00:40] <daftykins> rypervenche: can't say i'm familiar with gdisk, can you do a 'parted -l' and a 'fdisk -l' ?
[00:40] <rypervenche> daftykins: Yes. One moment.
[00:40] <nahtnam> Anyone?
[00:41] <nahtnam> I really need to connect!
[00:41] <lawn_gnome> nahtnam: NXT has issues with linux
[00:42] <rypervenche> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/8HGq8XaE
[00:42] <nahtnam> lawn_gnome: But bluetooth should work, right?
[00:42] <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
[00:43] <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 .
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <rypervenche> daftykins: It apparently wasn't an update either. Straight installation to 8.1.
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <daftykins> it's definitely a new enough system to have an EFI?
[00:49] <daftykins> as remnants of XP have me thinking oooooold :)
[00:49] <daftykins> it even has a config.sys and autoexec.bat :(
[00:50] <skyfall> i have an issue. im dual booting ubuntu 14.10 and windows 7.  im unable to boot into ubuntu now sometimes. it's showing PORT 2 PORT 4 and then keeps loading ubutnu. if i boot into windows 7  , the time and date is changed.
[00:50] <rypervenche> daftykins: I suppose I can try to add the manual the grub lines. I'll give that a shot.
[00:50] <skyfall> can anyone please tell me how to solve this issue ?
[00:50] <EriC^^> autoexec.bat brings back memories fooling around with the pc's at school
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <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.
[00:53] <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 ?
[00:54] <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] <ghandi> das upgrade ist eine zangengeburt
[00:56] <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
[00:59] <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.
[01:00] <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.
[01:01] <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] <Ubuntu-nice> yeats: I mean, why is Ubuntu 1GB+ o.O was not 700MB+/-
[01:01] <Ubuntu-nice> before? is xubuntu or lubuntu ligther?
[01:01] <daftykins> Ubuntu-nice: it grew, can't fit on CD anymore. DVD or USB only, sadly. been that way for a few years
[01:02] <EriC^^> Ubuntu-nice: lubuntu is around 700mb or so
[01:02] <yeats> Ubuntu-nice: oh - it's been that way for a while - I think the expectation is that you're probably using a live USB
[01:02] <Ubuntu-nice> I'm in a old Ubuntu version, wanted to upgrade, that's why I noticed.
[01:03] <EriC^^> which version
[01:03] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Ubuntu-nice Last I burned a Lubuntu disk 706 Mb .. Will not fit on a CD any longer either .

[01:09] <pantato> soo i was trying to set up two different accounts for two different folders i'm sharing via samba
[01:09] <Ubuntu-nice> Then, lubuntu is what I want I think
[01:09] <pantato> and i ended up denying privileges to any login i try when i try to access from my windows box
[01:09] <daftykins> EriC^^: oh although i don't know if said user knows your dual identities ;)
[01:09] <pantato> not sure how
[01:10] <Ubuntu-nice> when you recently install ubuntu how much ram does it use?
[01:11] <EriC^^> daftykins: yeah, i've been using this nickname more often lately
[01:11] <daftykins> :)
[01:11] <Airbander> how to know if i have the last version of xubuntu ?
[01:12] <pantato> i want to make /home/daniel/Desktop/stuff accessible on my windows box via username "daniel"
[01:12] <pantato> and /home/csserver accessible via username "csserver"
[01:12] <pantato> but it just says permission denied for both folders when i try to browse them
[01:13] <daftykins> pantato: did you use manual smb.conf edits to set up these shares?
[01:13] <pantato> yes
[01:13] <Ubuntu-nice> hello Airbander
[01:13] <daftykins> pantato: pastebin your config please
[01:13] <Airbander> Hello

[01:15] <Ubuntu-nice> theme? No.
[01:15] <Airbander> because i have xubuntu (xfce)
[01:15] <daftykins> Airbander: no point upgrading if everything works fine.
[01:15] <pantato> daniel@tinkerbox:~/Desktop/stuff$ ls -al , ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied
[01:15] <Ubuntu-nice> And you will update to xubuntu 14.10
[01:15] <daftykins> pantato: ok ls -al in the folder above if that happens for both
[01:16] <Airbander> ah i was thinking he will change my system to ubuntu themes

[01:21] <Airbander> guys this command dont work  'findsmb'

[01:22] <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)
[01:23] <EriC^^> Hardtail: what's up?
[01:24] <pantato> daftykins, still not able to join
[01:24] <daftykins> pantato: ok what do the logs say?
[01:25] <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? :-)
[01:26] <daftykins> !elementary | antitau
[01:27] <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.
[01:28] <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] <cfhowlett> !flavors antitau haha.  these are supported.  if not on this list, not supported.
[01:28] <pantato> daftykins, which one shuold I look at? I've looked at a few and the most recent entry was [2014/11/01 18:03:32.534381,  0]
[01:29] <pantato> cores  log.10.0.0.2  log.%m  log.nmbd  log.pan-pc  log.samba  log.smbd  samba.log
[01:29] <Airbander> Bashing-om my goal is learning network command i just search on net and try all command but this one didnt work
[01:29] <pantato> that's what i see
[01:29] <pantato> http://puu.sh/czBJs/4d78543433.png
[01:29] <daftykins> pantato: you should be able to find a samba log in /var/log with access attempt info. Windows logs too
[01:30] <Hardtail> does anyone know what sort of restrictions there are when developing games for ubuntu?
[01:30] <cfhowlett> Hardtail, ?? you mean licensing?
[01:30] <pantato> http://puu.sh/czBMB/db3e1d8bc9.png <--- log.smbd , daftykins
[01:30] <Airbander> ah any sweet game in linux ?
[01:31] <Bashing-om> Airbander: man -k findsmb >> findsmb: nothing appropriate. :)
[01:31] <cfhowlett> Airbander, yes.  see the software cente
[01:31] <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?
[01:32] <Airbander> thanks guys for answers but how can i type in red coloe like Bashing-om and cfholett
[01:32] <Airbander> ?
[01:32] <Airbander> Thanks for answers by the way
[01:32] <pantato> 14.04 LTS ?
[01:33] <cfhowlett> Airbander, on your irc client, type the persons name
[01:33] <teward> Airbander: that's not them typing in the color - it's a feature of the IRC client, when your name is stated it highlights it in red
[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
[01:34] <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?
[01:35] <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] <cfhowlett> Hardtail, see developer.ubuntu.com for guidance
[01:35] <Hardtail> thank yoiu
[01:39] <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.
[01:40] <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.
[01:41] <willpowers> Any ideas how to fix?
[01:42] <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`
[01:43] <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?
[01:47] <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.
[01:48] <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.
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <willpowers> What's testing a guest session?
[01:50] <willpowers> I think I have guest login disabled, let me try.
[01:50] <rantarou> regarding to my asus notebook, does anybody have solved about wlan light wont turn off if you're not using the wlan?
[01:50] <SchrodingersScat> !info network-manager-openvpn | Jon31
[01:50] <willpowers> daftykins: Guest login does the same thing.
[01:51] <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?
[01:52] <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.
[01:53] <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> k
[01:53] <daftykins> willpowers: hrmm ok, well X's log would tell you. /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:54] <pantato> one more question: http://puu.sh/czDnH/967be30c9d.png <--- how do I change it so I can at least go to the directory on other users ?
[01:54] <cfhowlett> !ops | umbrella alive: threats and profanity via pm
[01:55] <elky> who?
[01:55] <willpowers> daftykins: Okay I will check that log in another TTY.
[01:55] <qanadin> cfhowlett: I will let you know here shortly.  Booting the system up now
[01:55] <cfhowlett> elky, nvm.  the ignore function seems to have worked.
[01:56] <willpowers> daftykins: There's no obvious error messages in the last 50 lines of that file.
[01:56] <qanadin> cfhowlett: with the Non-windows drive disconnected, boots to windows with no issues
[01:56] <willpowers> daftykins: Just a bunch of modesetting/modeline stuff.
[01:56] <daftykins> willpowers: no but the whole thing will tell you which driver is in use and whether everything started fine
[01:56] <daftykins> willpowers: if you can install pastebinit you can share it with me
[01:56] <cfhowlett> qanadin, sounds like you might have a bios system level setting wrong.  over my head.  sorry.
[01:57] <willpowers> daftykins: Failed to load module "intel"
[01:57] <qanadin> yep no problem
[01:58] <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> How do I re-add it?
[01:58] <willpowers> From the CLI.
[01:59] <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.
[02:00] <vbgunz> I think I may have been looking for su instead of sudo
[02:01] <daftykins> willpowers: ok, maybe you should jump on a live session, research the newest driver then switch back and install it
[02:01] <willpowers> daftykins: What's a live session?
[02:01] <daftykins> willpowers: booting from DVD/USB in 'try' mode
[02:02] <willpowers> That's too much work, I have another machine right beside it that I'm on right now.
[02:04] <daftykins> willpowers: well whatever works for you, i can't mind-read :)
[02:06] <pantato> well, it appears that i have to fully logout of my windows account and log back in if i want to access the other folder
[02:07] <pantato> it doesn't allow me to just switch folders in the same session
[02:14] <firebb> how do i restart sshd?
[02:14] <daftykins> pantato: depends if you're letting it retain the user+pass or not
[02:14] <daftykins> firebb: sudo service restart ssh
[02:15] <EriC^^> firebb: sudo service ssh restart
[02:15] <daftykins> oops i swapped those last two.
[02:16] <firebb> ssh: unrecognized service
[02:16] <EriC^^> try service --status-all
[02:16] <willpowers> daftykins: Any idea why it's trying to load that intel drivers module?  Can I make it just load the Ubuntu default ones?
[02:16] <EriC^^> see if something like ssh comes up
[02:17] <firebb> no ssh
[02:17] <willpowers> Hmm I have no xorg.conf in my /etc/X11 directory. :\
[02:18] <daftykins> willpowers: without seeing the log i can't really comment. it might just be a sequence of events a normal install goes through
[02:18] <daftykins> willpowers: nobody typically does anymore.
[02:18] <firebb> what do those -/+/? mean?
[02:18] <EriC^^> if it's running ( + )
[02:18] <EriC^^> !find ssh
[02:19] <EriC^^> firebb: did you install openssh-server ?
[02:19] <firebb> isn't ssh installed by default?
[02:19] <daftykins> firebb: no
[02:20] <firebb> EriC^^: no I don't remember I did that
[02:21] <EriC^^> firebb: ok, you need to install openssh-server
[02:22] <jedi__> n
[02:22] <firebb> EriC^^: but why it says "connection established....but ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" when I try to ssh into it?
[02:22] <firebb> EriC^^: this is done even without installing openssh-server
[02:24] <jedi__> exit
[02:24] <jedi__> sorry
[02:24] <EriC^^> firebb: try lsof -i :22
[02:25] <firebb> nothing
[02:25] <mcarr> i have ubuntu desktop 13.10 , and firefox isn't auto-updating
[02:25] <mcarr> and there is no option, or button to make it do that
[02:25] <cfhowlett> mcarr, end of life, no updates, no longer supported.  time to upgrade
[02:25] <bubbasaures> !13.10 | mcarr
[02:25] <mcarr> hmm. weird
[02:26] <daftykins> mcarr: it's dead.
[02:26] <mcarr> upgrade ubuntu?
[02:26] <mcarr> ok
[02:26] <mcarr> can't use apt for that i guess
[02:26] <firebb> you can try do-release-ungrade
[02:26] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | mcarr,
[02:27] <mcarr> oh, ok
[02:27] <cfhowlett> firebb, too late for do-release-upgrade
[02:28] <firebb> cfhowlett: yeah probably. he has to do-release-upgrade for each release ahead.
[02:30] <firebb> EriC^^: how do i check if sshd is running or not/
[02:30] <mcarr> thanks for the links guys
[02:30] <Blizzy> I am trying to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox, however, I keep getting this error. sorry that I can't copy and paste the error. http://gyazo.com/c87c93a73304f6cbdcf7c70ac4ab000e
[02:31] <guest1177a> I just got an Acer E1-572-5870 a few hrs ago at my local electronics store. I'm told that if I change (write to) the disk at all I will void the return policy. Does anyone here know of any particular hardwar challenges that come wtih this machine? Has anyone here owned one or helped anyone with any installation problems?
[02:31] <daftykins> Blizzy: the VM might have been created with the wrong profiles, the ISO might be corrupted or some other issues
[02:32] <cfhowlett> guest1177a, what kind of messed up warranty is that?!
[02:32] <Blizzy> I've tried 2 different ISO.
[02:32] <daftykins> Blizzy: different how?
[02:32] <Blizzy> I've tried Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04.
[02:32] <daftykins> Blizzy: also, have you asked in the virtualbox channel?
[02:32] <guest1177a> I know I want to run ubuntu only since I've been doing so for about the 12 yrs but I don't want to go for the install until I check with you folks for some knowledge.
[02:32] <cfhowlett> !vbox | Blizzy,
[02:33] <Blizzy> thank you, cfhowlett and daftykins.
[02:33] <guest1177a> cfhowlett, That's what they told me (sux but I gotta live w/ it)  :)
[02:33] <willpowers> I can't seem to install the Intel graphics driver from the command line, and I can't boot into my desktop GUI because I don't have the driver. What should I do?
[02:33] <cfhowlett> guest1177a, I keep an ubuntu on a stick around my neck for those trips to the electronics store.  boot up and test.
[02:33] <l0rdn1x> guest1177a, I have never had luck with Acer for Ubuntu unfortunately
[02:33] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset | willpowers
[02:34] <qanadin> Anybody know how to get the GUI version of grub to load and not command line?
[02:34] <willpowers> cfhowlett: The X11 log says it was unable to find module "intel".
[02:34] <firebb> EriC^^: lsof -n|ssh --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8782645/
[02:34] <pantato> daftykins, it definitely asks me for a new user when i try switching folders in the same session but it simply denies it unless i log out and log back in
[02:34] <willpowers> cfhowlett: It just hangs at the background image after login and desktop doesn't load.
[02:34] <cfhowlett> qanadin, if you are seeing cli grub, then something went wrong.
[02:34] <EriC^^> qanadin: what do you mean>
[02:35] <qanadin> yeah all I see is grub> with flashing cursor
[02:35] <mchelen1> anyone aware of a bug with ubuntu openvpn and node.js? all my node apps fail to connect to remote servers over openvpn
[02:35] <willpowers> A .deb graphics installer should work from the command line too right?  Why does it seem like Intel's only works on a GUI?
[02:36] <cfhowlett> willpowers, you can install the intel graphics driver via command line:  https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0.6-linux
[02:36] <qanadin> At this point i am not opposed to reinstalling linux...
[02:36] <cfhowlett> qanadin, before you do that, reinstall grub
[02:36] <cfhowlett> !grub2 | qanadin
[02:36] <willpowers> cfhowlett: intel-linux-graphics-installer is a GUI program.
[02:37] <qanadin> cfhowlett: I did.  Said no issues
[02:37] <cfhowlett> willpowers, ah.  so it is.  sorry.
[02:37] <willpowers> So what do you do when you can't get into a GUI environment?
[02:37] <qanadin> ubottu and cfhowlett:  It stated when I installed it there were no errors.  when I do a !grub2 it says can't find command
[02:37] <willpowers> How do I search aptitude for any intel graphics drivers from CLI?
[02:38] <cfhowlett> willpowers, dpkg - l | grep intel
[02:38] <willpowers> I think I need the xorg-intel package or something.
[02:38] <willpowers> cfhowlett: Hmm, doesn't look like the one I need is there.
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <EriC^^> firebb: ssh isn't installed, and i can't connect to port 22
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <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
[02:44] <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.
[02:45] <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.
[02:46] <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

[03:02] <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?
[03:03] <dkog> I'm troubleshooting something related and kind of guessing
[03:04] <sacarlson> dkog: I think one method that I saw is clients can pass the dhcp server a name at lease time
[03:05] <dkog> sacarlson: ok so it's not so much broadcasting names/requests as registering as that
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <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
[03:08] <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

[03:09] <Levitcus> !ops | whats up rww  What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory—
[03:09] <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
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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"
[03:12] <cfhowlett> dkog, raspbian not supported here.  sorry.
[03:13] <dkog> cfhowlett: understood, I was giving that for background, but I'm really asking general "what's responsible for ad-hoc LAN name recognition"
[03:14] <cfhowlett> dkog, noted   :
[03:15] <sacarlson> dkog: this is what I've found as I note lubuntu didn't set it up for you http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-get-linux-static-dhcp-address/
[03:16] <dkog> sacarlson: that looks helpful, thank you
[03:27] <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.
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <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?
[03:33] <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.
[03:34] <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.
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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
[03:37] <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
[03:38] <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?
[03:39] <mahem1> Is there no pepperflash for Saucy 13.10? The PPA doesn't seem to have it for 13.10. This tutorial doesn't show it either. http://askubuntu.com/questions/449103/chromium-34-and-later-cannot-detect-flash-plugin
[03:39] <bubbasaures> mahem1, 13.10 is eol
[03:40] <mahem1> bubbasaures: Oh, true. Darn, I guess I should have chose an LTS.
[03:40] <bubbasaures> mahem1, 14.04 is, back it up and upgrade.
[03:41] <mahem1> bubbasaures: Fair enough, thanks.
[03:41] <willpowers> scarlson: xserver-xorg-video-intel
[03:42] <willpowers> intel-gpu-tools
[03:42] <willpowers> libdrm-intel
[03:42] <willpowers> And since I purged it looks like all the dependencies of those got wiped too.
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <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.
[03:46] <Bashing-om> willpowers: " via command line ("intel-linux-graphics-installer") and use it to upgrade your Intel graphics drivers: " .
[03:47] <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.
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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.
[03:50] <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 .
[03:52] <willpowers> Hmm that looks old it's for 13.04.
[03:53] <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.
[03:54] <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.
[03:55] <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?
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <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.
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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] <willpowers> Okay well I'm going to try those `depends` commands now. Hopefully that fixes it.
[04:00] <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.
[04:01] <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.
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <Bashing-om> willpowers: Sorry, tired, the command is apt-cache depends <package-name> and apt-cache rdepends <package-name.
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <Bashing-om> willpowers: Right, those in the 1st section are required to be installed -> dpkg -l <name> <- .
[04:06] <willpowers> Bashing-om: I have to type that for each one?
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <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.
[04:09] <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 !
[04:10] <willpowers> Shoot me.
[04:10] <willpowers> I haz my desktop back.
[04:11] <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] <willpowers> :(
[04:11] <willpowers> I wonder if a reinstall might resolve that.
[04:12] <hipitihop> I need to run 'sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio' to get my usb headset working, but this does not survive reboot, can someone please help to make this stick
[04:13] <sacarlson> hipitihop: there is a directory in /etc that contains modules you can add at boot, I would have to research the name
[04:15] <sacarlson> hipitihop: /etc/modules  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Loadable_Modules
[04:16] <hipitihop> sacarlson, apreciate the pointer, no /etc/modules here but reading your link thanks
[04:16] <sacarlson> hipitihop: then you must not be running ubuntu
[04:17] <sacarlson> hipitihop: you will have to research the destro you are presently using
[04:18] <hipitihop> sacarlson, thanks, it's a file not a dir, my bad and fyi I'm on ubuntu 14.04 Anyway this doc looks like it will get me going many thanks
[04:21]  * hipitihop reboots to test
[04:21] <samthewildone> I'm having trouble syncing google calendar with evolution, I'm able to get my chat working though.
[04:21] <samthewildone> I connected my google account to the ubuntu online accounts.
[04:22] <Ahmuck> hi. i used to use ctl + c for copy and ctl + v for paste from term to desktop apps.  is this functionality gone?
[04:23] <samthewildone> Ahmuck, forgetting shift
[04:23] <sacarlson> Ahmuck: for me it seems to work for some apps but now all.  but in most it works for me
[04:23] <sacarlson> now = not
[04:23] <samthewildone> Ahmuck, I experienced this problem myself but, for ubuntu I believe you have to include the shift key. Something about bindings.
[04:23] <Ahmuck> arg!
[04:24] <Ahmuck> ok, so starting an app in the term i used to be able to terminate it gracefully using clt | or alt |
[04:24] <hipitihop> sacarlson, Awesome, worked. Many thanks
[04:24] <Ahmuck> same thing, now i'm stopping them with ctl + c.  am i missing something again?
[04:25] <Ahmuck> change is good, but change that breaks long standing functionality is baaaaad.
[04:25] <moondog> Ahmuck: keybindings are user-defined
[04:25] <moondog> make them whatever you like
[04:26] <samthewildone> I know this is going to be off topic but, any update on the Ati prop drivers or open drivers ?
[04:29] <lizzie_> Sound has stopped working on my laptop
[04:29] <lizzie_> I notice that alsa library(1.0.25) does not match alsa utilities(1.0.27.2) version
[04:29] <lizzie_> How do I correct this?
[04:30] <sacarlson> lizzie_: for me sound has got more complicated as more devices are sound devices and I need to select what device to play or record from
[04:31] <lizzie_> sacarlson, it was working fine a week ago
[04:32] <sacarlson> lizzie_: for me the fix is normaly found in preferences>sound;  I found my skype was fliping my mike to front and I needed rear
[04:32] <Orangestar> Is there a better place to ask a Pulseaudio support question or can I do it here?
[04:33] <sacarlson> Orangestar: best to just ask you might get lucky
[04:34] <Orangestar> Aight, well I can't seem to get pavucontrol or blueman to set my headset's audio profile to hsp/hfp
[04:34] <Orangestar> It always stays at "off" and sometimes throws me an error that it just can't do it.
[04:35] <Orangestar> Googling has been of little use. Most of the replies don't get this far or just say "it's broke, just stop."
[04:35] <lizzie_> sacarlson, you're saying that it doesn't matter that library and utilities don't match, then?
[04:37] <Orangestar> Oh, and doing it from the command line just says "input/output error"
[04:38] <samthewildone> well shotwell just crash while trying to push a photo to picasa.
[04:46] <mate|73404> I'm using pidgin in ubuntu mate 14.04, I'm trying to set up pidgin to use freenode with IRC, whats the actual server?
[04:46] <Orangestar> irc.freenode.net i believe
[04:46] <willpowers> I need HELP!
[04:47] <willpowers> I want to reinstall Ubuntu but I need to know how to figure out what I need to backup?
[04:47] <willpowers> Obviously my home folder, but what about other programs or settings?
[04:48] <sacarlson> willpowers: most important is /home  then depending on what apps you had installed like mysql and others you might need some things in /var
[04:49] <willpowers> I have virtual hosts and stuff.
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <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
[04:54] <just_jon> any tricks to getting ubuntu-mate to read DVD movies?
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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
[04:58] <OerHeks> just_jon, after those steps, reboot
[04:58] <just_jon> alright, brb
[04:59] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[05:00] <sacarlson> OerHeks: bummer just missed just_jon,  I hate that when that happens
[05:01] <sacarlson> just_jon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[05:02] <just_jon> thanks guys, I
[05:02] <just_jon> I'll check that out
[05:03] <sacarlson> as I steel the credit from OerHeks that found the link above
[05:04] <OerHeks> still not all dvd's will play :-)
[05:04] <just_jon> thats what I
[05:04] <just_jon> thats what I'm reading, I
[05:05] <sacarlson> OerHeks: just_jon oh the hardware region code thing?
[05:05] <just_jon> sorry, I'm missing part of my pinky and I keep hitting enter, I've never had this much trouble getting this to go, I've been using ubuntu and debian for years
[05:06] <just_jon> so this dvd didn't play but the other is playing just fine
[05:06] <sacarlson> OerHeks: just_jon I recall some newer dvd try to inforce the region code wear as older didn't or provided methods to clear the region code stuf
[05:07] <sacarlson> just_jon: and some dvd just get old and fail to read on some readers
[05:09] <sabgenton> Does ubuntu touch run x11 programs fine?
[05:10] <sacarlson> sabgenton: I don't understand the question
[05:10] <sabgenton> Does this xmir thing make traditional apps work
[05:11] <sacarlson> sabgenton: xmir?  I will have to look that up
[05:12] <just_jon> far out, thanks guys
[05:12] <just_jon> I don
[05:12] <just_jon> I don't know why this movie won
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <sonetea> err nvm they decided not to use xmir
[05:13] <sonetea> for xubuntu
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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] <willpowers> Orangestar: Roger that.
[05:18] <sonetea> I hope they can get something that can do it, or else devs are going to have a pretty hard time
[05:18] <alnr> my arrow keys in bash stopped working after upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10, tab completion works though. how do i correct that?
[05:19] <sabgenton> sacarlson: x11 unity?
[05:19] <HikaruBG> Hi Guys
[05:19] <HikaruBG> nice Saturdau/Sunday Night :)
[05:19] <sabgenton> Or the new mir unity?
[05:19] <sacarlson> sabgenton: yes unity runs on x11
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <sabgenton> sacarlson: what was your app running in? Gnome?
[05:22] <sacarlson> sabgenton: yes it was developed in gnome
[05:23] <sabgenton> sacarlson: gtk app?
[05:23] <sacarlson> sabgenton: I still note today that nautilus doesn't have all functionality it once had
[05:24] <sacarlson> sabgenton: yes I think at some point I used gtk but under ???
[05:24] <sonetea> nautilus is losing features with every gnome release
[05:24] <sonetea> no more separators
[05:25] <sacarlson> sabgenton: oh it was glade
[05:26] <sacarlson> sabgenton: https://github.com/sacarlson/GenPlayList
[05:26] <sabgenton> scary if it was dependent on gnome
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <sonetea> gtk scares me and I'm very thankful that unity is being ported to QT
[05:32] <sacarlson> sonetea: ya caja is now a super set of nautilus but I guess doen't run on ubuntu with unity
[05:33] <sabgenton> X11 is not supported (so far) so all GUI standard applications will not run
[05:33] <sabgenton> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/FAQ
[05:35] <eightvirtues> hi
[05:36] <eightvirtues> is there a keyboard shortcut to get to desktop in ubuntu like windows d in windows
[05:38] <nukeblitz> So, the window spread option in Unity tweak tool has stopped working for me. Can anyone help? All it does it make the screen flash and displays an empty screen
[05:38] <sacarlson> sabgenton: I would guess you can still run an x11 server from within it
[05:40] <sabgenton> Yeah but im hoping this xmir thing will take off and enable support out of the box
[05:40] <samthewildone> is there a way I print from terminal ?
[05:40] <samthewildone> For example, 'print pass'
[05:40] <josmala> How to change keyboard language without changing system language questionmark.
[05:40] <samthewildone> or something along those lines ?
[05:41] <sabgenton> Yes
[05:41] <sacarlson> samthewildone: man lp
[05:42] <samthewildone> I just did lp pass
[05:42] <samthewildone> :D
[05:42] <sacarlson> samthewildone: but I'm not sure that would print graphics.  that was old days print text
[05:42] <samthewildone> sacarlson, I'm a man of text
[05:43] <sacarlson> samthewildone: oh then in that case maybe it still works
[05:44] <josmala> 14.10 messed my keyboard layout from fi to us. And hopefully somebody answers this even without question mark which I cannot find.
[05:47] <sonetea> josmala: Wouldn't going into your setting manager and then text entry
[05:47] <sonetea> and then changing your keyboard input source do the trick?
[05:49] <sonetea> josmala: http://a.pomf.se/kkfzvk.png
[05:52] <josmala> Sonetea thanks. In text entry I had Finnish as only option that was on there, and but luckily it had option show current in menu bar and I could change through that.
[05:53] <sonetea> np
[05:56] <dkog> anybody have experience using "wpa_cli" command line utility?
[05:56] <josmala> Now graphics problem. I have monitor that does support only few modes while wine programs seem to want smaller resolutions, non-free drivers used to have some scaler to work with that but non-free hasn't been option for years.
[05:58] <josmala> (continued) So I'm using opensource radeon drivers 4670 and I would like to somehow get 640x480x16 mode to wine while monitor only supports 2560x1600.
[05:59] <saGGio> hi
[05:59] <sonetea> josmala: are these wine applications fullscreen?
[05:59] <josmala> Yes.
[06:00] <sonetea> Can you change the resolution from within the program?
[06:00] <josmala> No and I cannot get the program even running.
[06:02] <sonetea> if you can't change the setting with xrandr then it seems like you'll have to get the game to not play in full screen, which might be a problem if the game is initlially in fullscreen
[06:16] <linuxlinux> anybody is here?
[06:17] <Dtxenioutha> I think I'm here.
[06:18] <sonetea> maybe i am
[06:19] <nukeblitz> exit
[06:21] <j4rh3rD> has anyone managed to install package manager on sublime text 3 on ubuntu 14.10? I'm getting an error, here's my locale http://paste.ubuntu.com/8784541/
[06:24] <josmala> Can I somehow Give playonlinux installer that fails to download pathofexileinstaller.msi already downloaded PathofExileinstaller.msi
[06:26] <icecube45> Now here's a question.. without a desktop manager/window manager. Can I run a gui program via ssh or whatever, being as I don't actually need the gui aspect of it, but the program has no option to run without a winow
[06:26] <icecube45> window*
[06:29] <asdfasdf> hey guys, I have a serious problem here.. a mechanical voice speaks out loud every time I point my mouse over something.. it feels like it is made for blind people
[06:30] <asdfasdf> how do I switch this thing off?
[06:30] <asdfasdf> it really pisses me off when this dude says "Window" or "Mouse pointer on close button"
[06:30] <icecube45> check under settings, should be something like accessability
[06:31] <asdfasdf> I already have checked that, but haven't found anything there
[06:31] <sonetea> icecube45: that's a good question
[06:31] <asdfasdf> I got this thing after I installed clementine dev version
[06:31] <icecube45> sonetea, any thoughts?
[06:31] <asdfasdf> I'm in panic
[06:31] <sonetea> I think i've seen it done before on a raspi where someone played a video using mpv
[06:31] <icecube45> Well, the thing is
[06:31] <icecube45> imagine I had an ubuntu server install, this means no xserver at all
[06:31] <icecube45> I still want to run this program
[06:32] <icecube45> b/c its what is on the command prompt that matters to me
[06:32] <sonetea> I think you would need X
[06:32] <icecube45> Yea.. there's the problem
[06:32] <icecube45> I'm wondering if I can trick it at all
[06:32] <sonetea> heh I've never seen someone do that before.
[06:32] <sonetea> what program>
[06:32] <icecube45> its a game
[06:32] <icecube45> So yea
[06:33] <icecube45> trying to force it into a dedicated server :3
[06:34] <asdfasdf> Please guys, how do I fix that? Can't find anything on the Internet
[06:35] <icecube45> asdfasdf,
[06:35] <icecube45> I told you
[06:35] <icecube45> settings
[06:35] <icecube45> accessability
[06:35] <icecube45> or
[06:35] <icecube45> universal access
[06:35] <unopaste> icecube45 you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[06:35] <sonetea> asdfasdf: i got you

[06:35] <asdfasdf> icecube45 I checked it down there, found nothing
[06:36] <sonetea> asdfasdf: did you get that?
[06:36] <icecube45> sorry
[06:36] <icecube45> unopaste muted me
[06:36] <icecube45> apparently it disapproves of my enters
[06:37] <sonetea> alternaviley System settings -> Universal Access, and turn screen reader off
[06:37] <lewis17122> how do I back up my home folder if theres "no space left on the device"?
[06:38] <sonetea> well i think you're going to need to get a bigger harddrive
[06:38] <Rohan_14> Hello i just want know what is the number after the line number of my gcc error take a look http://pbrd.co/1o3Fcqz
[06:38] <lewis17122> I tried to do it with rsynch but it aborted. sonetea I think there's an error with inodes or something like that, I don't think I've legit used up all space
[06:38] <lewis17122> but the point is I can't get in there and do anything as there's no space left on the device.
[06:39] <sonetea> Rohan_14: is that the column number?
[06:39] <Rohan_14> sonetea: i dont know thats why i asked
[06:39] <asdfasdf> Thank you very much, sonetea. It really annoyed me even though it was off. I turned it on and off and I am so happy now to not hear that fucking voice
[06:39] <asdfasdf> Thanks again
[06:39] <sonetea> np
[06:40] <Rohan_14> sonetea: what do you think ?
[06:40] <sonetea> Rohan_14: lol i can check if you want, but im pretty sure it's the column
[06:40] <sonetea> line 14, column 2
[06:40] <Rohan_14> sonetea: yeah its coloumn solved
[06:41] <Rohan_14> sonetea: thnaks sonetea
[06:41] <Rohan_14> thnaks*
[06:41] <sonetea> np
[06:44] <icecube45> hmm
[06:45] <icecube45> sonetea, let me bounce some things off you?
[06:45] <sonetea> k
[06:45] <abhishek> Hello, how should I install Unity, am using Ubuntu Studio Xfce
[06:45] <sonetea> sudo apt-get install unity-desktop
[06:45] <icecube45> So, sonetea
[06:45] <icecube45> I'm trying to run the server, right
[06:45] <icecube45> There is a commandline option to start it
[06:46] <icecube45> that will boot up fine, will require no input on the gui side of things
[06:46] <icecube45> but I need to force this to run a window, or at least think it is
[06:46] <sonetea> heh
[06:46] <icecube45> I have no gpu on this thing..
[06:46] <icecube45> I can create a vnc session
[06:46] <icecube45> and vnc into openbox
[06:46] <icecube45> but cannot start the window there
[06:46] <abhishek> "sudo apt-get install unity-desktop" is enough to install the whole Unity environment?
[06:47] <sonetea> abhishek: i blieve so but let me check
[06:47] <abhishek> Sonetea: I also intend to install Gnome after that
[06:48] <sonetea> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:48] <sonetea> i believe that will work
[06:48] <icecube45> sonetea,
[06:48] <icecube45> is there a way for me to run opengl w/o a gpu?
[06:49] <sonetea> icecube45: hmm i wonder
[06:49] <sacarlson> abhishek: you might like Mate desktop better.  I've seen links to install it on ubuntu
[06:50] <sonetea> icecube45: ha
[06:50] <sonetea> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7310885/opengl-without-a-graphics-card
[06:51] <sonetea> sacarlson have you tried the offical ubuntu mate desktop yet>
[06:51] <Zlacer> Hello all. I have problems installing 14.04.1 along Windoe 8.1. At the moment I receive error message unaligned pointer 0x74ee5818 after I have chosen Install Ubuntu from Live USB. Any ideas how to proceed.
[06:51] <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
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <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?
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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
[06:57] <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: I also show metacity installed
[06:58] <Zlacer> sonetea: Secureboot is off. I double checked running msinfo32 in Windows
[06:58] <sonetea> Zlacer: strange
[06:58] <sacarlson> sonetea: ya I would like to try it some time if I can switch it back easy
[06:58] <sonetea> have you tried any different ubuntu versions?
[06:58] <Zlacer> sonetea: I haven
[06:58] <sonetea> sacarlson: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE#Use_a_different_window_manager_with_MATE
[06:59] <sacarlson> sonetea: ubuntu version on my old system back to like 08 or 09
[06:59] <sonetea> Zlacer: try 14.10 next time
[06:59] <sacarlson> sonetea: cool I'll check it out
[07:04] <Zlacer> sonetea: I will do that. Just noticed something strange. Looking from Control Panel is says that I have 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor. Looking from system information (msinfo32 from command line) it says that x86 based-PC.
[07:05] <sonetea> Zlacer: then try install the 32bit version of ubuntu
[07:05] <sonetea> that would explain why you get a pointer error
[07:08] <Zlacer> sonetea: Will do that.
[07:10] <sacarlson> sonetea: that link provided did look to provide me enuf details as to switch to compiz, or even if compiz is an option as a windows manager
[07:11] <sacarlson> did = didn't
[07:11] <sonetea> does compiz --replace not work?
[07:19] <sacarlson> sonetea: I see this link that showed that command compiz --replace http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1298  also noted it said it could be done from a terminal so maybe that would be the best to try first
[07:20] <sacarlson> sonetea: so to exit my present manager I could ??? then just type compiz --replace on the terminal maybe after I login?
[07:21] <sonetea> yes that's what you can do
[07:21] <sonetea> you can also have that run on startup
[07:21] <sacarlson> sonetea: ya I'll wory about startup if I see it working first
[07:25] <servet> Hi, by default my mic settings are not good; sounds crackling. I change them to alsa and choose the correct device using gstreamer-properties to get them fixed.  But, applications still don't seem to use those new settings and I still get that crackling sound with cheese and hangouts. Only Audacity works fine because you can do the settings from withing the app.  What can we do about that?
[07:32] <icecube45> sonetea,
[07:32] <icecube45> as a workaround..
[07:32] <icecube45> I can use xfowarding
[07:32] <icecube45> to a spare desktop machine
[07:32] <icecube45> kinda defeats the purpose
[07:33] <icecube45> but it works I guess
[07:35] <sonetea> ehh yeah it sort of does, but i guess it does work

[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
[07:43] <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
[07:44] <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
[07:47] <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?
[07:48] <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
[07:50] <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
[07:51] <sacarlson> servet: sound preferences can run outside of the app your controling sound for
[07:51] <ubuntunewbie> Could you please help?
[07:52] <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)
[07:53] <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
[07:54] <sacarlson> servet: but that might be due to you having volume up listening on some other input or 1000+ other reasons in pulseaudio
[07:55] <sacarlson> servet: I also bypass pulseaudo when I play with jackd
[07:55] <sacarlson> but again write scripts to auto switch
[07:57] <sacarlson> ubuntunewbie: try dig edx.org  ;  and dig @8.8.8.8 edx.org
[08:01] <sacarlson> ubuntunewbie: from that you should be able to determine if the problem is in your local dns server settings as windows uses a hardcoded dns address as backup in the event of networks defaults
[08:02] <jurisdan_> can someone help me? i have a LUKS + LVM install and i made a 3,9 GB swap partition, but there is some error and it doesn't load
[08:03] <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?
[08:04] <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] <farva> good evening
[08:05] <farva> what is the best way to upgrade my java version on a server machine? I am very new to linux so a helpful command line would be great
[08:05] <sacarlson> servet: any app that runs and changes things effects all all most apps that use sound
[08:06] <jurisdan_> can someone help me? i have a LUKS + LVM install and i made a 3,9 GB swap partition, but there is some error and it doesn't load
[08:06] <after_r> Hello... I have this behavior that I dont understand. 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?
[08:09] <servet> sacarlson: aren't there terminal commands for alsa like there are for pulse audio?
[08:11] <sacarlson> servet: yes there probly is I just never needed them so didn't research it
[08:12] <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
[08:13] <farva> I am trying to use this tutorial but the first command tells me it is unavailable: http://askubuntu.com/questions/183867/how-do-i-update-oracle-java-7-jdk-and-jre
[08:13] <sacarlson> after_r: I would have to look that one up
[08:13] <farva> can some one help me update my java please?
[08:14] <jacobmischka> webupd8 has a handy ppa for installing oracle's java https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java
[08:14] <OerHeks> that is one of the answers on that page

[08:15] <mehdi> hey guys how can i change my $PATH ? i set sth wrong for java path
[08:15] <jacobmischka> I'm having problems with touchpad detection on a new laptop, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it. 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.
[08:16] <farva> jacobmischka: the problem with this is, when I run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java' it returns with 'command not found'
[08:17] <jurisdan_> OMG, so many people and noone answer me :(
[08:18] <jacobmischka> farva, um you could try apt-add-repository I guess, but there's no reason that command should be missing
[08:18] <acelot> farva, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=add-apt-repository+command+not+found
[08:18] <farva> yea...command not found =[
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties # for apt-repository

[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

[08:35] <bhavesh> I extracted flat_no_frames to /home/myname/.local/share/themes
[08:36] <bhavesh> then what do I have to select in themes? I already have Adwaita as my theme and Adwaita again for window borders

[09:03] <OERIAS> albv, you may join, but unfortunately it is an English-only channel
[09:03] <OERIAS> #ubuntu-it for Italian support
[09:04] <albv> Well, i'm here, if i don't bother i will ask you for some support anyway...i don't really where to crush my head
[09:05] <albv> *know -.-, sorry just finished the first coffee in the morning, i miss some words :D
[09:06] <albv> Yesterday my sister bought a new ASUS F550LDV with windows 8.1 pre-installed. After ten minutes she asked me to install ubuntu
[09:07] <albv> i did it, not so many issues with the UEFI stuff
[09:07] <albv> but i can't have any kind of internet connection, both wired and wireless
[09:08] <Fearlessness> Hello
[09:08] <albv> if i plug in the cable nothing happen, and, after some google search, i finally turned on the wifi but still no signal detected
[09:09] <albv> do you think you can help me someway?
[09:09] <ilya> jk
[09:09] <ilya> ok
[09:09] <Fearlessness> Try to reboot your pc and reset your router
[09:10] <albv> oh, my lan works perfectly..i am on my job mac, and in her windows 8 everything works smooth...
[09:11] <albv> so, it's not a network issue, i m sure about it
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <Fearlessness> Or if you want try to find and install the needed drivers for your wifi card
[09:13] <mcfactor> try to put the notebook in sleep mode (key combination: FN + F1), wake it up right afterwards and check your wireless card settings again
[09:13] <mattero> ...
[09:14] <mattero> Does anyone know if PopCorntime.io is safe to use?
[09:14] <mattero> I mean, is it open-source?
[09:14] <mattero> i'm not wondering about the legality of the service
[09:14] <albv> key combinations doesnt work too (as the touchpad) but it's a minor issue, i will do it by terminal :D
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <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?
[09:18] <albv> nothing changed
[09:18] <albv> network manager state says everything is enable true
[09:21] <mcfactor> ok, do you see any SSID in network list?
[09:22] <albv> no no, actually i just see the wifi icon but there's no SSID list
[09:23] <mcfactor> open terminal, type ifconfig, can you find wlan0 interface there?
[09:31] <DTSCode> why not just ifconfig | grep wlan0 mcfactor ?
[09:31] <albv> sorry, switching between to pcs it's a slow process :D
[09:32] <albv> i can see just eth0 and lo
[09:32] <albv> DTSCode: no result for that
[09:34] <mcfactor> albv that's the answer...
[09:36] <albv> mcfactor: i don't have the wlan installed? is it that?
[09:37] <mcfactor> it's either ubuntu doesn't have a driver or it can't load it for some reason
[09:37] <albv_> sorry, line drop
[09:51] <pr_> how can i run grpahic s program in ubuntu like i do in  turbo c++ in window
[09:51] <Wizard> pr_: ?
[09:52] <pr_> how can i run grpahic sprogram in gcc in ubuntu 14.04  like i do in  turbo c++ in window
[09:52] <pr_> wizard:
[09:53] <Wizard> Hmm, maybe somebody has written some compatibility library you can use.
[09:53] <Wizard> turbo c++ is quite ancient, isn't it?
[09:53] <mcfactor> pr_ I haven't heard about Turbo C++ for... 10-15 years :) anyways, what exactly do you mean? you mean how do you developer applications?
[09:54] <pr_> no just want to run computer graphics  program   ubuntu
[09:54] <pr_> help me out
[09:55] <Wizard> Turbo c++'s graphics module is specific to this particular ancient compiler. If you want to use it on Ubuntu, you either have to find compatibility library or port/write it yourself.
[09:56] <Wizard> Ugh, seems this thing also uses conio.h :D
[09:57] <mcfactor> Wzard actually Turbo C++ was a whole IDE from Borland
[09:58] <Wizard> Than replaced by Borlad C++ Builder, than sold.
[09:59] <sacarlson> we should have asked pr_ what does his application do?  we must have one already ha ha
[10:08] <bokoboko> Hello, why i cant see ubuntu install when im on windows? And how i can access its folders from windows? Thanks in advance
[10:08] <bokoboko> I have installed both in my machine(first windows)
[10:11] <cfhowlett> bokoboko, because windows doesn't see linux.  you can force it to but ... not advisable to share folders between linux/windows

[10:32] <Kartagis> I have an issue that the mysql service doesn't restart on boot even though the upstart links exist, so I put @reboot /usr/bin/service mysql start in crontab to no avail. what else can I do?
[10:36] <lindner_> is there a way to force tumbler to create thumbnails for a specific folder and its subfolders?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: can you start it manually?
[10:39] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: aye, no problem with that
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: add the command in /etc/rc.local , above the 'exit 0' line and it will run at boot
[10:41] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: all of /usr/bin/service mysql start?
[10:45] <Kartagis> unbelievable, still no

[11:15] <strk> I'm stopping/reloading gdm using /etc/init.d/gdm stop/start but it keeps coming out with just a blank (black) screen with the top-menu (accessibility/wifi/bluetooth) and nothing in the center
[11:16] <strk> actually, "stop" does not release the X window either
[11:17] <strk> killing X forces the restart, but it still comes out that way
[11:17] <strk> syslog shows some assertion failures from gdm/gobject, like Nov  2 12:16:43 localhost gdm-simple-slave[5807]: GLib: Source ID 4 was not found when attempting to remove it

[11:28] <brent> hey guys
[11:30] <brent> im currently using windows 8 to connect to ubuntu desktop using TightVNC. It works great but it isn't anywhere as good as sitting on the real machine. Comparing this to the likes of windows RDP its far worse. Anyone know if it is possible to connect from a windows machine to Ubuntu over RDP?
[11:30] <funkt> thanks k1l cannot see anything
[11:31] <n0w_> Every time I start the system, xfce autostart nautilus showing home directory. How can I fix it?
[11:31] <strk> a reboot helped with my gdm issue. I suspect a dbus isse (as I always do when I don't understand what's going on)
[11:32] <cfhowlett> n0w fix it to do what?  what's wrong?
[11:34] <n0w_> cfhowlett, stop open my home directory automatically
[11:34] <n0w_> cfhowlett, how can I do it?
[11:35] <cfhowlett> n0w_, settings manager > system > Session and Startup > Session > clear saved sessions
[11:37] <n0w_> cfhowlett, ok I'll try it!
[11:42] <brent> just had a look around, in relation to RDP what would an ubuntu "instance" be?

[11:49] <poli> Hello all! Besides being a very experienced sysadmin, for some reason I am having a terrible time trying to install Ubuntu on a Alienware 17 laptop. After solving countless install issues with even some ugly hacks now I am trying to get Ubuntu server to boot (desktop will just not install). Though on my first boot GRUB2 is dropping to prompt complaining about "error: failure reading sector 0x0 from `cd0'". I cannot find any cd0 entry on /etc/grub.d or /boot/grub.
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> brent: ssh between your home boxes could be a good idea also
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> poli: desktop doesnt wanna install on your laptop?
[11:50] <poli> lotuspsychje: Graphic install will usually lock up just before partition screen. Kubuntu has the same behavior.
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> poli: you sure you waited long enough? that point of setup is always bit of bottleneck
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> poli: this is ubuntu 14.04 you trying?
[11:52] <poli> lotuspsychje: I left it there and went for a coffee... Configuration of the laptop might be an issue. It was pre-formatted with Intel RST, 2x1TB drives and a  80GB SSD.
[11:53] <poli> lotuspsychje: Tried Ubuntu 14.10 and Kubuntu 14.10.
[11:53] <poli> lotuspsychje: When I tried to get a LVM partitioning on the HD neither would even boot up.
[11:53] <lotuspsychje> poli: i suggest you try 14.04 first, to see if its not some grafix driver issue
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> poli: what kind of grafix card inside that laptop?
[11:55] <poli> lotuspsychje: I will try that. I am getting the most random weird results even from kernel. Softlocks and Hardlocks even when Overclocking is disabled.
[11:55] <lotuspsychje> poli: what Os came default on that laptop?
[11:55] <poli> lotuspsychje: The main one is NVidia GeForce GTX880 and the Intel-on chip that comes with the i7 4910
[11:55] <poli> lotuspsychje: Windows 8
[11:55] <lotuspsychje> poli: is that an optimus card?
[11:56] <poli> lotuspsychje: Yes.
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> poli: i would try doublecheck bios, if secureboot disabled, no security locks on ssd and try install 14.04 LTS
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> !optimus | poli
[11:57] <poli> ubottu: Thanks! That will surely be one of the next issues...
[11:57] <k1l_> use nvidia-prime now. bumblebee is deprecated
[11:57] <updater> 6 packages can be updated. how do i do that?
[11:58] <poli> lotuspsychje: Thanks! That will surely be one of the next issues...
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: tnx for info
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime
[11:58] <poli> lotuspsychje: I am walking baby steps so far. Trying to find out how to boot the thing.
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> poli: make sure you download this package k1l_ suggested
[11:59] <updater> i am running ubuntu 14.04 and i see it says: 6 packages can be updated. 2 updates are security updates.  on startup. how do i perform the update?
[12:00] <poli> lotuspsychje: I will. Thanks.
[12:00] <lotuspsychje> updater: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:00] <Kartagis> if I regenerate my existing certs because of the heartbleed, does the ca need to sign them again?
[12:00] <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
[12:01] <frog> hi
[12:01] <frog> how can i pull up a screenmesagge, of a task i started via ssh, after i restart my PC?
[12:02] <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
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <cfhowlett> kngharv, use the existing partitions, do not format /home.  you should be fine.
[12:06] <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...
[12:07] <cfhowlett> kngharv, don't backup your software, backup your data
[12:08] <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...
[12:09] <cfhowlett> kngharv, backup your data.  worst case: you have to rebuild the system.
[12:09] <cfhowlett> !home | kngharv
[12:10] <kngharv> @ubottu:  my home partition is already in a separate partition.
[12:11] <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)
[12:12] <cfhowlett> kngharv, yea, dd is meticulous and slow.  go out for a pint, take a nap and check it afterwards.
[12:14] <farhang1> SUP
[12:15] <gamer> hello people :)
[12:16] <gamer> anyone online? :O
[12:16] <kngharv> @cfhowlett, @ubottu  thanks.  i guess i just have to wait until dd is done and reinstall everything
[12:17] <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..
[12:19] <gamer> guys
[12:19] <gamer> this is my first time using irc
[12:20] <cfhowlett> gamer, stop hitting the enter key.
[12:20] <k1l_> gamer: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat. this channel is for technical ubuntu support only
[12:20] <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...
[12:21] <cfhowlett> kngharv, :)   sounds like you have important stuff saved.  ##linux or #ubuntu-server might have some guidance for backup solutions.
[12:22] <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.
[12:23] <cfhowlett> Walsh, apt-cache show package name
[12:23] <Walsh> that's the one! :) thanks
[12:23] <Walsh> so what would the line be for teamspeak for exame?
[12:24] <Walsh> apt-cache show package teamspeak ?
[12:24] <cfhowlett> Walsh, apt-cache show teamspeak
[12:24] <Walsh> okay, thanks. Shame Teamspeak isn't showing up.
[12:24] <cfhowlett> !info teamspeak
[12:25] <k1l_> teamspeak is not in the repos anymore, iirc
[12:25] <Walsh> okay, so just download it from the website?
[12:25] <k1l_> yes
[12:26] <Walsh> so, how do .run files work? I'm brand new to ubuntu. I only got it installed yesteday.
[12:26] <pupil> Walsh: sh file.run
[12:27] <pupil> or ./filename.run
[12:28] <Hardtail> morning all
[12:28] <pupil> it's evening here
[12:31] <Walsh> another noob question, how do I accept the terms and conditions? it just says (END) at the bottom
[12:32] <cfhowlett> Walsh, scroll down the page and you'll probably see a radio button.
[12:32] <Hardtail> pupil good evening then :D
[12:32] <Walsh> I'm at the bottom of the page and theres nothing there...

[12:56] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, add %U onto the end of the command i think
[12:57] <nusr_> EriC^^: gedit opens but the file does not contain the ascii

[12:57] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, you asked how to launch chrome with a certain profile
[12:58] <AlexPortable> yes but what does %U does?
[12:58] <EriC^^> nusr_: which file?
[12:58] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, it tells it to use that users profile
[12:58] <AlexPortable> so ./chrome %U namehere?
[12:59] <AlexPortable> ubuntuaddicted: nope, it opens anything i put behind the %U
[12:59] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, ah i see what you're saying. wait, when you say profile do you mean like what google chrome syncs with?
[12:59] <AlexPortable> no
[12:59] <AlexPortable> i mean the profile i create for multiple users on the pc
[13:00] <Paramezius> 3609: ERROR: grampsgui.py: line 384:
[13:00] <Paramezius> i reinstalled and this is the error i get when i try to run it
[13:00] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, chrome should be using the profile of the user that currently logged in, thats what the %U does
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> EriC^^: trusty and later doesnt need gksu for GUI apps now. Sudo has been fixed :-)
[13:00] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, there's no name after the command, it's just ./chrome %U
[13:00] <EriC^^> ActionParsnip1: really?
[13:01] <AlexPortable> ubuntuaddicted: huh?
[13:01] <nusr_> EriC^^: it worked. i had the wrong directory earlier and didn't use .cow
[13:01] <AlexPortable> i made multiple chrome profiles
[13:01] <EriC^^> ActionParsnip1: nice!
[13:01] <AlexPortable> and why isn googlizer in the repos?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> AlexPortable: never heard of that...
[13:02] <poli> So... "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 23s! [host:1179]" Overclocking is off, Turbo mode is off. Kernel is 3.16.0-23. Any ideas?
[13:03] <vlad__> привет
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> AlexPortable: its in the repos dude
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> AlexPortable: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/googlizer/
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> !info googlizer
[13:03] <EriC^^> !ru | vlad__
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> !info googlizer trusty
[13:04] <vlad__> its english chat?
[13:04] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, try to look into the --user-data-dir option of chrome
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> AlexPortable: I move my cache folder to tempfs using a symlink :')
[13:06] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, so it would be google-chrome --user-date-dir=/home/name/.config/newconfigdir
[13:07] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip1, can you help me with gettig the nvidia 343.22 driver to work?
[13:07] <peins> Hello everyone
[13:07] <peins> is there any way to make IRC server to remember previous messages?
[13:07] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, sorry, the directory would be /home/name/.config/google-chrome/newprofilenamehere
[13:08] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, i would imagine there's logging for an irc server yes.
[13:08] <peins> just use ~/ instead of home/name
[13:09] <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)
[13:10] <peins> The only issue with irc so far is that it does not save messages like skype does
[13:11] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, which irc server software are you using?
[13:12] <AlexPortable> ubuntuaddicted: --user-data-dir= doesn 't works
[13:12] <peins> use ./.config instead
[13:12] <peins> right now i use unrealircd, but not sure if I will stay with that one
[13:13] <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> what's the issue he is having? I might be able to help. Had issue with profiles in chrome.
[13:14] <cfhowlett> peins, false.  messages can be saved to your logs
[13:14] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, he wants to launch chrome using a certain profile
[13:14] <k1l_> peins: that is more a task for the client to save messages
[13:15] <ubuntuaddicted> i need help figuring out why the nvidia driver 343.22 isn't loading. the log says it failed to initialize but nothing more specfic
[13:15] <peins> Yeah, but what I want is for it to be more server sided
[13:15] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, are you using nvidia optimus (bumblebee?
[13:16] <peins> Also, perhaps any of you would recommend good reaplacement to skype?
[13:16] <sennn> hi
[13:16] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, no, i have a GTX 760 in a desktop.
[13:16] <k1l_> peins: google hangouts :)
[13:16] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, me and my friends use teamspeak. for video we use jitsi
[13:17] <peins> then sorry ubuntuaddicted, i cant help with desktop :( Only use laptops with shitty nvidia optimus -_-
[13:17] <peins> we dont really like google hangouts
[13:18] <peins> yeah, we also use teamspeak. But we also are looking for reliable messaging client. it should be hybrid for windows/linux as most of my friends (all of them) use windows
[13:18] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, yeah, we hate google hangouts also but it is really easy to setup and use. i don't like it's compression.
[13:18] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, i beleive jitsi is cross platform
[13:18] <mib_mib> is there a way to open a browser with a global keyboard shortcut?
[13:19] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, I also dont like the idea of using google services for everything haha
[13:19] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, I will check that out, thank you :) does it support messaging?
[13:19] <peins> mib_mib, just set up custom shortcut in setting :)
[13:19] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, yes
[13:20] <mib_mib> mib_mib ah, well to be honest i'm on OSX =D
[13:20] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, thank you very much. Does it require any dedicated server?
[13:20] <AlexPortable> peins: how do i launch chrome with profile from commandline?
[13:21] <ubuntuaddicted> ive never had issues with the nvidia driver in the past but i tried installing it for kernel 3.17 yesterday but couldn't ebcause that kernel was compiled with gcc 4.6 and my system only had gcc 4.8. so i switched back to kernel 3.13-39 and now i can't get the nvidia driver to load at all
[13:21] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, no
[13:21] <anonymous_> хи алл
[13:21] <anonymous_> hi all
[13:21] <peins> AlexPortable, try to see if you can rename profile to the one you are actually using now :P
[13:22] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, i just gave up with nvidia on my laptop and i am using now only intel hd. It is really unstable. Especially compared to amd gpu I used on my last laptop :(
[13:22] <ubuntuaddicted> AlexPortable, google-chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/google-chrome/newprofilenamehere
[13:23] <peins> ubuntuaddicted, he might be using chromium
[13:23] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, ive been reading great things about the intel driver. latest kernel and mesa=good FPS in games. the oibaf ppa has that stuff in it if you're interested
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <ubuntuaddicted> peins, ah yeah, the hd 3000 isnt as good as the newer hd 4600
[13:26] <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] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntuaddicted: there are nvidia drivers in the repos
[13:27] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip1, i didn't think the later 343.22 was in there
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntuaddicted: whats in the newer version you need so much?
[13:29] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip1, many bug fixes. specifically a 3.0 shader bug when running unigine heaven
[13:31] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip1, i'll try the nvidia driver from the repos as im stuck trying to use the website provided ones. i normally never have an issue
[13:33] <ubuntuaddicted> whats weird is that im currently not using nvidia or nuovue driver, i think im just using a frambuffer driver, LOL
[13:34] <ubuntuaddicted> it's almost as if the nomodeset option in my kernel boot line is being ignored
[13:39] <ubuntuaddicted> maybe someone can help me with a differnt issue. i installed some ubuntu mainline kernels like 3.16.1 and 3.17 and realized that those kernels aren't supported by ubuntu (more specifically i can't get nvidia to work them due to cc compiler check) and now i can't figure out how to remove them. can anyone help me remove them?
[13:41] <ubuntuaddicted> when i issue sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.16.1-* linux-image-3.16.1-* it returns that it couldn't locate the packages
[13:43] <ubuntuaddicted> when i click on the .deb package i downloaded, it opens in the ubuntu software center but i only see reinstall, no option to remove it
[13:47] <ubuntuaddicted> wow, the room got really quite. lol
[13:51] <nusr_> i modified an existing .cow by just changing the ascii and keeping everything else the same but i'm getting this cowsay: Can't find string terminator "EOC" anywhere before EOF at /usr/share/cowsay/cows/angelamerkel.cow line 4.
[13:51] <wgwinn> I'm currently reading over http://askubuntu.com/questions/97153/install-ubuntu-server-to-a-flash-drive-permanently and i wanted to know if it's possible to consider installing ubuntu server directly to a thumbdrive without copying it from a harddrive ?
[13:53] <wgwinn> My primary issue is that i have a 4x zfs-array, and 4 sata slots. so no space to jsut add another drive to boot to/from
[13:55] <ubuntuaddicted> ok now this is weird. i opened synaptic and located the linux-header-3.16* and 3.17 stuff, i choose to completely remove them but they somehow still appear in my grub menu
[13:55] <jpds> ubuntuaddicted: That'd be linux-image.
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntuaddicted: run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo update-grub
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> wgwinn: sd card boot...
[13:57] <ubuntuaddicted> jpds, oh yeah, forgot about the image. thanks
[13:58] <shaarad> :1
[14:00] <ubuntuaddicted> sudo apt-get --purge autoremove didn't do anything
[14:00] <ubuntuaddicted> finding the linux-image in synaptic and completely remving them worked though
[14:00] <k1l_> ubuntuaddicted: use ppa-purge to get rid of your PPAs.
[14:01] <k1l_> that will remove the PPA and the files the PPA installed.
[14:01] <ubuntuaddicted> k1l_, i never added any ppa. i individually downloaded each .deb
[14:01] <ubuntuaddicted> k1l_, thanks though. ppa-purge is awesome. i've used it before
[14:01] <gh0stn0te> hi!
[14:02] <ubuntuaddicted> k1l_, i especially like how it downgrades the packages and removes the ppa
[14:02] <gh0stn0te> anyone have got any issue with an intel i915 gpu + nvidia card on  ubuntu 14.4 with the latest kernel?
[14:02] <ubuntuaddicted> whereas just apt-add-repository --remove only removes the ppa, it doesn't downgrade the packages
[14:03] <nusr_> yes  i have climbed to the next wrung of ubuntu asesomeness...i have my own cowsay ascii!! woohoo...thanks k1l_ and EriC^^
[14:07] <ubuntuaddicted> does anyone know which version of the nvidia driver is nvidia-current in xubuntu 14.04?
[14:09] <k1l_> !info nvidia-current trusty
[14:09] <Jason___> Hey
[14:09] <Kartagis> if I regenerate my existing certs because of the heartbleed, does the ca need to sign them again?
[14:09] <Jason___> Can anyone here help me with a problem
[14:09] <Jason___> ?
[14:09] <Jason___> I've been trying to fix this for like two days now.
[14:09] <Kartagis> Jason___: only if you ask
[14:09] <Jason___> Basically
[14:09] <Jason___> I installed ubuntu right
[14:09] <Jason___> and whenever I try to power off
[14:09] <Jason___> it'll reboot
[14:10] <Jason___> I'm on arch now and it does the same thing
[14:10] <shaarad> Jason___ : try sudo shutdown -P now
[14:10] <Jason___> I tried turning off wireless lan in bios
[14:10] <Jason___> I tried that
[14:10] <Jason___> still boots
[14:10] <k1l_> Jason___: do yourself and us a favor and keep it on one line
[14:10] <Jason___> Sorry
[14:10] <k1l_> Jason___: and since arch got very different setups please see the arch support in #archlinux
[14:11] <Jason___> okay
[14:11] <shaarad> kil_ : but still shouldn't the 'sudo shutdown -P now' work?
[14:12] <k1l_> shaarad: not if a issue calls the restart on the acpi side while shutting down.
[14:12] <shaarad> what is acpi exactly?
[14:12] <shaarad> even I am not that deep into ubuntu
[14:12] <Jason___> I'm back and er
[14:13] <alo21> hi, is there a way to enable trash? When I try to delete a file, it asks me if I would like to delete it permanently
[14:13] <Jason___> I'm new to this irc thing. When I try joining #archlinux it says I have to be identified with +r or something. I'm using weechat
[14:13] <k1l_> shaarad: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, a standard for all the mainboard related stuff like poweroff etc
[14:14] <k1l_> !register | Jason___
[14:14] <shaarad> Jason___ : register your nickname on the server you are joining to
[14:14] <k1l_> Jason___: for more details please see the #freenode channel. they will assist you on that issue with the channel
[14:14] <shaarad> k1l_ : thanks bud
[14:16] <ubuntuaddicted> my xorg.0.log is showing that modesetting is being loaded despite having nomodeset within my grub boot line. how do i fix this?
[14:18] <ubuntuaddicted> somehow i have a desktop BUT it's using a framebuffer?
[14:19] <frank_o> Hi! Why am I getting `ImportError: No module named apt` when doing `do-release-upgrade`?
[14:20] <k1l_> frank_o: did you fiddle with python lately?
[14:20] <frank_o> k1l_: Yep
[14:20] <k1l_> there is the issue
[14:21] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <LoganGray> as with anything else.... with more options, more choices... comes more complexity
[14:28] <Walsh> whats the best IRC client for ubuntu?
[14:28] <nopf> Walsh: irssi
[14:28] <onla> where can I set the default application to handle .torrent files? I have the Transmission installed by default, and I just installed qbittorrent as an alternative. I only find the system settings - details as a GUI for setting default apps, but it doesn't list an app for torrents.
[14:28] <RDX400> Walsh, XChat
[14:28] <onla> Walsh: irssi
[14:28] <Walsh> ta
[14:29] <onla> if you provided more background info, then you could get a better answer to fit your preference :)
[14:29] <shaarad> woah Walsh, I just asked the same question on ubuntu-offtopic
[14:29] <nopf> Walsh: maybe use chatzilla
[14:30] <onla> like, what clients you have used earlier and did you like them. Do you need a mouse or do you want it to be more lightweight
[14:30] <shaarad> nopf : how to remove the XYZ joined or left messages from main chat in irssi?
[14:31] <onla> in one particular irc channel, or on all channels?
[14:31] <nopf> shaarad: try /help ignore
[14:31] <shaarad> nopf : thanks
[14:32] <onla> I am using /ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS in my .irssi/startup file
[14:35] <YourPlaceOrMine> hello
[14:35] <YourPlaceOrMine> only 4gm ram on laptop, 32bit would be right choice?
[14:35] <YourPlaceOrMine> 4gb*
[14:36] <RDX400> YourPlaceOrMine, you can even choice 64 bit it doesen't matters :)
[14:36] <YourPlaceOrMine> RDX400, oh ok yea this is 64bit, had win 8 on it
[14:36] <YourPlaceOrMine> ok ty
[14:37] <RDX400> YourPlaceOrMine, your welcome :)
[14:37] <k1l_> YourPlaceOrMine: if the hardware can work 64bit there is no reason not to go with 64bit
[14:37] <YourPlaceOrMine> kll_, thanks!
[14:38] <YourPlaceOrMine> :)
[14:38] <Walex2> k1l_: allegations that many programs compiled in 64b mode take up a lot more memory are unfortunately true
[14:38] <Walsh> any tips on changing mouse sensetivity? I have followed a few tutorials online but they don't seem to want to work.
[14:39] <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
[14:41] <walsh_> just got Irssi sorted, I'm used to the windows clients though aha.
[14:43] <k1l_> walsh_: there are gui clients like hexchat, too.
[14:46] <Walex2> walsh_: there is the 'xset m' command. and there are mice with sliders that control the sensitivity

[14:50] <alexxio> i have wifi of my ubuntu pc connected to my network, then i connected via cable ethernet a raspi. i configured wifi with dhcp and eth1 with static ip. every X seconds i have to recofnigure eth1, otherwise i loose connection via ethernet..i just have to restart the ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2 up , then i reach the raspi, then after some second i loose again connection...why? what can i do to let it last forever?

[14:56] <abhishek> I want to set unity as default, using Ubuntu studio with XFCE as default...how should I do it?
[14:57] <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?
[14:58] <shaarad> Finetundra: type ifconfig in terminal and see the output category wlan0
[15:03] <abhishek> anyone knows how to set Unity to default, using ubuntustudia with xfce default
[15:03] <sam-essy> punaise !!
[15:07] <Finetundra> shaarad, what am i looking for there?
[15:08] <shaarad> Finetundra : have you got any ip address from that wlan0 interface?
[15:09] <Finetundra> shaarad, yes
[15:10] <shaarad> Finetundra : so you are connected to that network. Maybe you are getting signals but it's not being shown
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <shaarad> So that's the problem of wireless signal indicator and not your network
[15:12] <Finetundra> sure
[15:13] <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] <walsh_> hey guys, getting an error now with Flash player, wondering if you could help me. Failed to load "libpepflashplayer.so", any idea's? it says I have flash installed when I try installing it.

[15:20] <Caroga> Hi all
[15:20] <Aziroshin> Hello.
[15:20] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: once I've done this I close the terminal and restart my browser?
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: sure, you can try
[15:21] <Caroga> I'm trying to add a new set of disks to my ubuntu server where I am using LVM. I added it as a physical volume /dev/sdc, and created a volume group. Whenever I run pvscan I see it's there, but I also see that the other 2 volume groups have a number appended to the Disk's location.
[15:21] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: still getting failed to load "libpepflashplayer.so"
[15:22] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: this might be interesting aswell: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pipelight/+bug/1366514

[15:22] <mrlami> TY ubottu
[15:22] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: that's the link I used and it worked fine but stopped youtube from working.
[15:23] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: Sky Go is still working fine, just YouTube.
[15:23] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: whats your firefox version plz?
[15:23] <walsh_> 33.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
[15:23] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: 33.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
[15:23] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: should be good..
[15:24] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: it was working perfectly fine earlier until I did the thing with Sky Go, is it easy to do a fresh install of Flash?
[15:24] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/521234/my-flashplugin-doesnt-work-on-firefox
[15:25] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: I tried this, didn't work either.
[15:26] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: I tried removing Adobe Flash Plug-in and reinstalling it.
[15:27] <lotuspsychje> walsh_: how about pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[15:28] <walsh_> lotuspsychje: still nothing, I'm just going to quickly restart
[15:28] <BluesKaj> shaarad, sorry, I've seen this issue before, but I wasn't able to help, it looks like a bug that occurs after upgrading to 14.10 on some laptops
[15:28] <Aziroshin> Where is /dev/shm configured on ubuntu? I cannot find it in /etc/fstab, and I would like to change the mount point.
[15:30] <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.
[15:31] <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] <h16h> when i connect my android over openvpn, i'm unable to ssh to a ubuntu box behind that vpn network..but if im in the same network without vpn (like wifi), i can ssh fine. the client gets stuck at ssh_msg_kexinit sent
[15:31] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: can you open ff from terminal, see what more erros you get?
[15:32] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: how do I do that? I only started ubuntu yesterday aha
[15:32] <Slamd64> hello. is there a way to upgrade xorg server to 1.16 on ubuntu 14.04 lts?
[15:32] <abhishek> anyone knows how to set Unity to default, using ubuntustudia with xfce defaul
[15:32] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: open a terminal and type firefox, then goto youtube and try play video
[15:33] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[15:33] <Aziroshin> Okay, there is /lib/init/fstab. Kind of interesting. What's the benefit of seperating this out of the /etc/fstab or /etc/fstab.d structure?
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: nothing more when you try a youtube?
[15:34] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: nope
[15:35] <Aziroshin> Perhaps because people might be more inclined to put /etc on its own partition?
[15:36] <Finetundra> shaarad, all good
[15:37] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: other browsers play youtube fine?
[15:37] <Walsh> I haven't got any others installed
[15:38] <Walsh> lotuspsychje:  I will install chrome now
[15:38] <Walsh> wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
[15:38] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: and you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed right?
[15:38] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: is there anyway to see if it's properly installed?
[15:39] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:39] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: newest version
[15:40] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: real strange..
[15:40] <Walsh> installing chrome now
[15:41] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: installing chrome stable now
[15:41] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: you getting black screens on youtube?
[15:41] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: no, a yellow cross with the missing error
[15:42] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: I just installed Chrome and it's put a YouTube icon on my bar and it works in there...
[15:42] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: did you try flashplugin-installer
[15:43] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: yeah
[15:43] <Guest27206> ciao
[15:43] <Guest27206> !ciao
[15:43] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: graphics drivers are installed correctly?
[15:43] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: okay it's sort of better... audio actually works but video doesn't on Firefox.
[15:43] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: indeed
[15:43] <Guest27206> list
[15:44] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: it works perfectly fine on the youtube app.

[15:45] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: im out of ideas then :p
[15:45] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: you on 14.04 or 14.10?
[15:45] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: it's not a problem for now, I have that app thing which I can use for YouTube. noob question: How do I launch chrome once I've installed it?
[15:45] <Walsh> 14.04
[15:46] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: you can drag n drop the icon to left unity bar
[15:46] <Guest27206> !ciao
[15:46] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: or just start it and rightmouse on icon 'lock'
[15:46] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: I think I just fucked up Flash with Firefox because Chrome is working fine aha
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: did you try adobe-flashplugin?
[15:47] <SchrodingersScat> !language | Walsh
[15:47] <lyntoo> chrome as built in flash
[15:47] <lyntoo> not firefox
[15:47] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: sudo apt-get adobe-flashplugin ??
[15:47] <Walsh> lyntoo: I had it working on Firefox before but fucked it up somehow
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[15:48] <shaarad> Walsh: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[15:48] <somsip> Walsh: if you need unsubtle - stop swearing please.
[15:48] <Trudko> Hi guys , how do i change command create by package in ubuntu?
[15:49] <lyntoo> ok ... something wrong in flash plugin
[15:49] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: I got Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate'
[15:49] <Walsh> somsip: sorry boss.
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> !info adobe-flashplugin
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[15:50] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: event not found
[15:50] <somsip> !info flashplugin-installer
[15:50] <Walsh> event not found
[15:51] <Walsh> I'll just soldier on with Chrome, it's not a huge problem. I'll look into it later.
[15:51] <Walsh> thanks for the help lotuspsychje , really appreciate it.
[15:51] <lotuspsychje> Walsh: np, good luck
[15:51] <Walsh> lotuspsychje: thanks bud
[15:52] <Aziroshin> lotuspsychje: Maybe you can bookmark this to try it at a later time: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/10/enable-flash-for-firefox-ubuntu-14-10/
[15:52] <Aziroshin> I just found this, no guarantees. :x
[15:52] <lotuspsychje> Aziroshin: he's on 14.04
[15:52] <Aziroshin> Gah, never mind. I misgathered that then, I suppose.
[15:53] <Aziroshin> Because the bot gave back utopic I somehow jumped to the conclusion that might be the distribution we're talking about.
[15:53] <pue> hey guys. ubuntu comes with preinstalled vim?
[15:53] <pue> which vim returns null
[15:53] <raub> pue: AFAIK yes
[15:53] <lotuspsychje> Aziroshin: oh right, thats my bad indeed
[15:53] <pue> but there's vi, and it says vi impoved
[15:54] <pue> raub: but i can open it with "vi"
[15:54] <raub> vi improved == vim
[15:54] <pue> raub: not with "vim"
[15:54] <SchrodingersScat> !info vim
[15:54] <Aziroshin> lotuspsychje: Never mind. :)
[15:54] <pue> raub SchrodingersScat but in console, vi works, not vim
[15:54] <somsip> pue: you get vim.tiny be default IIRC
[15:54] <SchrodingersScat> !info vi
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> !info adobe-flashplugin trusty
[15:55] <pue> somsip: so, i can just add an alias to vim for vi and its ok?
[15:55] <SchrodingersScat> pue: since vim is optional, that would make sense?
[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
[15:56] <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?
[15:57] <pue> with -z ubuntu-restricred-extras?
[15:57] <pue> i mean [ -z ubuntu-restricted-extras ]
[15:57] <pue> or dpkg --get-selections?
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <raub> So I stupidly upgraded my 14.04.1 vm withotu snapshotting. And now I found out I cannot NFS mount any longer
[16:02] <pue> oh, guys. vi is not vim. you can try it out.
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <Aziroshin> Will the mount points be created automatically in case the mounted filesystems are tmpfses as well?
[16:08] <Aziroshin> Well, I guess I'll find out... XD

[16:21] <MrSavage> How can I run a command on ubuntu that pops up a gui but makes it so that if i close the terminal, then the gui doesn't close as well?
[16:21] <Finetundra> the x's in the brackets are a rapidly increasing numerical value
[16:21] <Finetundra> i just reopened my laptop to this:   [xxx.xxxxxxxx]: mei_me: destination client not found 0x00000985        or something like that. i know for a fact that everything from destination to 0x00000985 was there though. what do i do?
[16:21] <Aziroshin> One blunt way would be to simply open it in a screen session
[16:22] <lyntoo> think is something like ~/path/to/script
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <SchrodingersScat> MrSavage: can maybe background it with &
[16:26] <sonetea> MrSavage: the alternative is install tmux and running it through there

[16:37] <dlsensei> anyone?
[16:37] <SchrodingersScat> hello
[16:38] <dlsensei> my ubuntu software center not opening
[16:39] <dlsensei> what can i do?
[16:41] <SchrodingersScat> dlsensei: could maybe open it from a terminal, see if it says anything, software-center seems to open it for me
[16:42] <dlsensei> how do i uninstall it and reinstall it
[16:42] <dlsensei> ?
[16:43] <YourPlaceOrMine> anyone have an idea why i can't pin google chrome to plank?
[16:44] <YourPlaceOrMine> all other app's do
[16:44] <YourPlaceOrMine> thanks!
[16:44] <lyntoo> dlsensei: http://pastebin.com/PkGn73aJ
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <lyntoo> before reinstall, you must remove and purge the program
[16:47] <dlsensei> ok
[16:47] <dlsensei> i used deepin software center and got corrupted with ubuntu one
[16:48] <daftykins> !deepin
[16:48] <daftykins> ugh.
[16:48] <imLOST> is DWG viewer available for Ubuntu ?
[16:49] <sacarlson> imLOST: there are many dwg viewers in ubuntu, there should be one setup as default that will work from nautilus
[16:50] <lyntoo> I only use synaptic, never bug
[16:50] <sacarlson> imLOST: oh maybe you mean dwg like autocad file viewer?
[16:50] <Aziroshin> Let's see what happens if I disable all /run related mount points in /lib/init/fstab.
[16:51] <dlsensei> i need to change my software update to ubuntu server
[16:51] <dlsensei> how?
[16:51] <imLOST> sacarlson, Autocad one
[16:52] <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?
[16:53] <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 ?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <lyntoo> php5 is on /usr/bin/php5
[16:57] <plotino> hi
[16:58] <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] <onla> what means "Download this executable and place it into your path." Where should I place it?
[16:59] <onla> what is "my path"? I wgetted it to my home dir but it doesn't work
[16:59] <EriC^^> onla: in a directory in $PATH
[16:59] <EriC^^> onla: open a terminal and type echo $PATH
[16:59] <onla> ok tks
[17:00] <EriC^^> onla: np
[17:00] <onla> /usr/bin/env: zsh: No such file or directory
[17:00] <EriC^^> onla: you can create a bin directory in your home
[17:01] <onla> Hmm this comes, when I try run this app now. This is the app http://www.soimort.org/translate-shell/
[17:01] <EriC^^> onla: it will be added to your $PATH when you login
[17:01] <EriC^^> ( ~/bin )
[17:01] <onla> Ok. I placed it to /usr/local/bin
[17:01] <onla> Do I need to install the zsh environment? I don't think they mention it on the site
[17:02] <EriC^^> maybe
[17:03] <onla> says on site though that bash or zsh is enough, but seems bash is not enough
[17:04] <sacarlson> imLOST: also dwg version 10 looks to be fully supported in 3rd party and opensource linux http://www.linuxcad.com/
[17:04] <jacobmischka> I'm having touchpad detection problems on a new laptop. The weird thing is, it was detected on boot once and worked perfectly, but I can't get it to do it again. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

[17:16] <AlexPortable> SchrodingersScat: nope
[17:16] <AlexPortable> daftykins: just starts with default new profile
[17:16] <AlexPortable> like you would first start chromium
[17:16] <daftykins> every launch?
[17:16] <daftykins> as in it doesn't save anything?
[17:17] <nusr_> daftykins: sorry to ask about something like settings to turn off password prompt when coming back from blank screen (the check box is empty) but i'm still getting prompted to enter pw. i installed xubuntu
[17:17] <daftykins> AlexPortable: you're being about as clear as mud
[17:17] <JQ> hey
[17:17] <daftykins> nusr_: i have no idea why you highlighted me there
[17:17] <JQ> anyone can troubleshoot my prob
[17:17] <SchrodingersScat> could even --incognito
[17:17] <daftykins> JQ: not until you explain it
[17:18] <JQ> ok
[17:18] <nusr_> daftykins: i asked earlier but no one replied, and i just saw you here so you are convenient target
[17:18] <JQ>  hey i have a portable drive..2 partitions are encoded in Win Bit locker encryption
[17:18] <AlexPortable> daftykins: it laucnhes with default profile
[17:18] <JQ> how can iaccess in xubuntu
[17:19] <daftykins> AlexPortable: you can't explain something in MORE detail by using the *exact* same words.
[17:20] <daftykins> JQ: i don't think it's supported, but i don't have anything to back that claim up - did you find anything when researching this?
[17:20] <AlexPortable> daftykins: well, when i do that command it launches a new profile. not the profile i want
[17:20] <SchrodingersScat> JQ: http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/README.txt seems that the internet says this might be able to read them, wouldn't be supported though
[17:21] <JQ> thanks both
[17:22] <JQ> but its a general prob.It has to be dealt
[17:22] <SchrodingersScat> JQ: the general problem was choosing a proprietary encryption scheme, your beef is with microsoft, not us.
[17:24] <JQ> Schrodingerscat: dont pull my leg..
[17:28] <LemonSqueeze> 8-)
[17:28] <JQ> hey
[17:28] <daftykins> JQ: i think SchrodingersScat made a very correct and succinct point.
[17:29] <LemonSqueeze> 1729 people in this room you'd think there were more people chatting
[17:29] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: it's a support channel, not a chat channel.
[17:29] <LemonSqueeze> i see
[17:29] <daftykins> quiet = good
[17:30] <SchrodingersScat> LemonSqueeze: this is support, traffic can be random, !offtopic is more general chat, !guidelines still apply.
[17:30] <LemonSqueeze> well my question is:
[17:30] <JQ> daftykins :Yes.so portable disk manufacturers onus lies to provide encryotion that works in any os
[17:31] <daftykins> JQ: i don't know what point you're trying to make, either way it's not relevant here
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <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
[17:36] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: it would also be great if you could type out complete sentences instead of using the enter key for punctuation
[17:38] <LemonSqueeze> SO with bumblebee, I used the 13.10 and after approach it listed on its wiki, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, and did everything it said to do and restarted. Now my screens resolution is quite low, and steam apps run very slow at best. I assume I might have disabled my graphics gard, and now using the intel chip or something
[17:39] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: what version are you running?
[17:39] <LemonSqueeze> I am running 14.04 of ubuntu
[17:40] <daftykins> are you typing from something else right now?
[17:40] <daftykins> i.e. is the laptop unusable or are you just using it with the low resolution?
[17:40] <LemonSqueeze> no, i am using my PC that i have it installed on
[17:41] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[17:41] <LemonSqueeze> ok, will get back with results
[17:43] <LemonSqueeze> ok, I entered both
[17:44] <daftykins> you should have a link to paste here showing a log file from your system
[17:44] <josmala> Playonlinux problem: err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"WLDAP32.dll": /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20: undefined symbol:  ??
[17:44] <LemonSqueeze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8791619/
[17:44] <LemonSqueeze> is this it?
[17:44] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: yep, one moment
[17:46] <josmala> I have some playonlinux vs libraries compatibility problem on 14.10 http://pastebin.com/LmHScq9v
[17:47] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: first step then, restore it to working order. "sudo apt-get purge bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus" then reboot
[17:48] <LemonSqueeze> ok reboothing will be back soon
[17:50] <JQ> daftykins: hey my AMD 780g motherboard has inbuilt 256MB graphics memory...how can i check its operating
[17:51] <LemonSqueeze> alright, im back, and it worked. I have the right screen resolution now
[17:51] <ultrixx> JQ, to check what? the memory?
[17:51] <daftykins> JQ: is your monitor connected to it? can you see a picture?
[17:51] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: ok please run "lspci | pastebinit"
[17:52] <ultrixx> JQ, and no it doesn't have 256mb built in. it uses 256 mb of your ram for graphics
[17:52] <LemonSqueeze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8791713/
[17:52] <JQ> means when i run a game..how can i be sure thats the graphics memory is being used
[17:53] <daftykins> because it works
[17:53] <lyntoo> grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:54] <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> ultrixx:really thats the concept of integrated graphics
[17:55] <JQ> ultrixx:??
[17:55] <ultrixx> JQ, yes
[17:56] <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] <AlexPortable> So anyone can help me out?
[17:57] <Aziroshin> I can't seem to find your question.
[17:57] <ultrixx> JQ, i tried to explain that to you because you said the memory is built in the motherboard graphics
[17:58] <JQ> ultrixx:I got it.Thnx
[17:59] <ultrixx> JQ, thats what most hw vendors try to trick customers into believing they got a huge bad ass gfx on the board
[17:59] <JQ> Aziroshin:Thnx for info.
[18:00] <josmala> AlexPortable: What is your problem you need help with?
[18:00] <JQ> ultrixx:Fault was on my part.Shud have researched deeper.
 how to find more topics on network security?
[18:01] <LemonSqueeze> daftykins: is there anything I can do to help at the moment, or are you still looking at the paste file?
[18:02] <dunnowho> how to find more topics on network security?
[18:02] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: oh i never saw it as you didn't use my nick :)
[18:02] <xangua> !alis | dunnowho
[18:02] <LemonSqueeze> daftykins: want me to paste it again?
[18:02] <AlexPortable> josmala: starting chromium with custom profile
[18:02] <dunnowho> thanks. am new into the linux world.
[18:02] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: nah it's ok i found it. please re-run "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[18:03] <LemonSqueeze> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8791845/
[18:05] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: hrmm ok i can't see any sign of intel graphics, looks like your laptop might be nvidia only, which would be odd. if you click on the settings icon on the dock to the left, then run 'software and sources' i think it's called, then switch to the additional drivers tab on the far right (it'll take a few moments to refresh)
[18:07] <Basketballlll> hey
[18:07] <Basketballlll> anyone here use rtcwake
[18:08] <LemonSqueeze> daftykins: ok i am there, 5 show up 4 proprietary, and one open source. I have legacy binary driver- version 304.117 from nvidia updates (proprietary) selected
[18:09] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: check how your games perform
[18:10] <bwallum> Anybody have any insight in how to recover deleted files from a SSD?
[18:10] <daftykins> bwallum: not a chance
[18:10] <bwallum> thought so
[18:11] <ooloo> okay, when I have my headphones in, my volume bar goes a little crazy when I try turning it up or down
[18:12] <ooloo> like, the volume bar rapidly goes lower when I make it higher, and I have to fiddle with it a lot to get it the way I want it
[18:13] <LemonSqueeze> daftykins: what a hero, everything works great now. Thanks for a good first impression of this community
[18:14] <daftykins> LemonSqueeze: ^_^ no problem, glad it worked out!
[18:15] <LemonSqueeze> i'll be back with more problems in the foreseeable future, thanks
[18:15] <andlabs> that's the story of all of us
[18:15] <daftykins> hey, i don't come here with problems! :P
[18:17] <lyntoo> don't forget the online documentation and web search
[18:20] <Valduare> hi guys i got a terabyte drive here with bad superblock
[18:20] <Valduare> is there a way I can mark it off and use this drive still
[18:21] <bekks> Valduare: How old is that drive?
[18:21] <bekks> Valduare: And did you run a full filesystem check yet?
[18:22] <Valduare> laptop is under 4 years old
[18:23] <Valduare> I tested it with dd-ing an image to it and it will boot
[18:23] <Valduare> but smart complains about read tests
[18:23] <IonaBlu23> most hard drives are warrantied for 3 years... some for 5.
[18:23] <Valduare> dont have receipt for it
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <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
[18:26] <daftykins> Valduare: can you share the SMART output from smartctl?
[18:26] <Valduare> and yes i’ve run checks thats how i know what i know so far lol
[18:26] <bekks> Valduare: 1 day or 4 years?
[18:26] <MagicSpud> hello does anyone use popcorn time? the copy pasting magnet links is not working for me
[18:26] <Valduare> its from a dell inspiron n7110
[18:26] <bekks> Valduare: Did you run "fsck -f" yet, from a live cd? And can you pastebin the entire smartctl output for that drive?
[18:27] <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?
[18:28] <bwallum> you could try a repair by using a back up superblock
[18:29] <sns_> anyone experienced any troubles with ubuntu-xboxdrv in 14.10?
[18:29] <bekks> sns_: How does that poll help you? Do you have a specific question? :)
[18:29] <bwallum> http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Data-Rescue
[18:31] <sns_> I can't get the xbox 360 controllers working in emulators. All emulators show that there are 4 xbox controllers assigned to the pc and none seem to be working
[18:32] <sns_> and the led flashes like it does when xpad driver is controlling it - but xpad is blacklisted

[18:38] <Foxhoundz> is it possible to install xubuntu on an existing Ubuntu box?
[18:38] <Foxhoundz> I want xfce :(
[18:38] <Foxhoundz> I hate Unity :(
[18:38] <bekks> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[18:39] <jhutchins_wk> !install xfce
[18:39] <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.
[18:40] <jhutchins_wk> Bitwise_: VMware should present the network interface as a virtual network adapter with it's own address.
[18:41] <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.
[18:42] <Bitwise_> jhutchins_wk, NAT won't give the VM it's own IP address on my LAN?
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <Foxhoundz> There were no options in the login screen to select a DE
[18:45] <Foxhoundz> as far as I know
[18:45] <jacobmischka> install xubuntu-desktop
[18:46] <bekks> Foxhoundz: In the login screen, you can select the environment to be used.
[18:48] <Valduare> when you reformat a hd does it get a new superblock?
[18:49] <daftykins> Valduare: still waiting on that SMART data
[18:49] <bekks> Valduare: that will not fix a bad block.
[18:50] <Valduare> k
[18:50] <Foxhoundz> bekks: where in the UI?
[18:50] <Valduare> tryin im not on irc on same computer the drive diagnostics on
[18:50] <bekks> Foxhoundz: In the login screen.
[18:51] <sns_> anyone gotten xboxdrv working in 14.10? I can't seem to be able to use the xbox wireless controller with emulators
[18:51] <Guest85286> hi i'm no more able to restore the grub2....i'm using a 1404 live to restore it....what's happening?
[18:51] <jacobmischka> xboxdrv is working fine for me in 14.10, though I've had it installed since 12.10
[18:51] <Finetundra> has anyone, managed to install ubuntu onto an IBM xSeries 225 type 8647? I
[18:52] <grubissue> i want to restore my grub from the terminal
[18:52] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Sure, context?
[18:53] <grubissue> bubbasaures: i'm running 14.04 live , i want to restore a grub2  i was trying to chroot into mnt but i get an error...
[18:54] <grubissue> bubbasaures: if i try ionly grub-install i get an error too
[18:54] <jacobmischka> sns_, did you install it using the ppa?
[18:54] <sns_> yes that's right
[18:55] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Have you chrooted before?
[18:55] <grubissue> with another version of ubuntu
[18:55] <Valduare> hey I think I repaired the superblock
[18:55] <Valduare> smart overall assesement says disk is ok
[18:55] <grubissue> http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/AmministrazioneSistema/Grub/Ripristino  i used this bubbasaures
[18:56] <jacobmischka> oh, it's apparently included in the universe since 14.04, you installed that then I'm guessing?
[18:56] <daftykins> Valduare: i'd still prefer to see SMART data
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <bubbasaures> grubissue, The first mnt command is the error?
[18:57] <grubissue> sudo chroot /mnt at this one
[18:57] <daftykins> Valduare: install 'smartmontools' and 'pastebinit' then run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[18:57] <grubissue> chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: No such file or directory
[18:57] <Valduare> got them instaleld
[18:57] <sns_> jacobmischka, was it pointed towards me?
[18:58] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Are you sure the previous commands complete, IE the first partition mount to, as a staart?
[18:58] <jacobmischka> yeah, sorry
[18:58] <sns_> I installed ubuntu-xboxdrv from a ppa. Apparantly it's supposed to do everything automagically
[18:58] <grubissue> what do you mean bubbasaures
[18:58] <sns_> jacobmischka, https://launchpad.net/~rael-gc/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-xboxdrv
[18:58] <jacobmischka> sns_, had you tried simply installing xboxdrv itself? yes, I'm looking at that page already
[18:59] <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] <Valduare> daftykins: pastebin.com/aQ9DCs01
[18:59] <bubbasaures> grubissue, sdXX is the hard drive and the partition where grub is.
[18:59] <sns_> jacobmischka, I tried. But I get a permission error when I try to run it in userspace
[19:00] <jacobmischka> sns_, I've always had to run it as sudo, but it's worked fine
[19:00] <daftykins> Valduare: ok disk health looks *mostly* ok, what's there could be down to a bad SATA cable if it's a desktop
[19:00] <grubissue> bubbasaures: the grub should be in the partition where i intalled linux or ....where?
[19:00] <Valduare> its a laptop
[19:01] <mrkirby153> Okay. I'm runnin exim but http://mxtoolbox.com/ is saying that my smtp server isn't responding
[19:01] <Finetundra> on a different note, why does ubuntu's video freeze when doing graphic intensive things( such as playing a game)?
[19:01] <Valduare> whats that “type” column that syas pre-fail or old-age mean
[19:01] <sns_> jacobmischka, so I did a "apt-get purge ubuntu-xboxdrv", then "apt-get install xboxdrv", and finally xboxdrv
[19:02] <grubissue> anyone?
[19:02] <sns_> shows: http://pastebin.com/D1rV4Td8
[19:02] <Pupilliam> What did you say?
[19:03] <sns_> jacobmischka, and now xbox controller is blinking in parelel between two-two leds
[19:03] <jacobmischka> sns_, have you tried running it as sudo?
[19:03] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Grub is in the boot of root of the install and in the mbr which is sdX just the HD. try this link, http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/creating-chroot-ubuntu.html?m=1  It would help if you gave more info as to why and what this grub issue is.
[19:03] <mbalmer> _as_ sudo?
[19:03] <daftykins> Valduare: it indicates that values on that row may increment typically due to being pre-failure or just from old age.
[19:03] <mbalmer> or _using_ sudo?
[19:03] <Valduare> ok
[19:03] <daftykins> sudo isn't a user. you cannot *be* sudo
[19:03] <sns_> done. did not give segmentation fault, but still blinking
[19:04] <sns_> not assigning the controller to one slot
[19:04] <jacobmischka> using sudo, yes.
[19:04] <lyntoo> i can confirm right now fresh install of xboxdrv with emu and work without any permissions, controller work perfectly plug to usb
[19:04] <Valduare> what could have caused the superblock to go bad
[19:04] <grubissue> bubbasaures: cant' boot linux after win8 decided to install the 8.1 update
[19:04] <sns_> It's a wireless controller, lyntoo
[19:04] <lyntoo> (the official xbox360)
[19:05] <sns_> lyntoo,  it's the official wireless xbox 360 controller
[19:05] <bubbasaures> grubissue, The dual boot with W8 should have been part of your inquiry is all, I can't help you there, a few on occasion here can.
[19:05] <sns_> (with pc usb connector in the package)
[19:05] <bubbasaures> grubissue, If your msdos not gpt I can help.
[19:05] <lyntoo> thats what i have
[19:06] <lyntoo> oups wired only
[19:06] <daftykins> sns_: *USB dongle
[19:06] <lyntoo> no dongle
[19:06] <lyntoo> i don't think thats work dongless
[19:06] <jhutchins_wk> !fixgrub
[19:06] <sns_> daftykins, How would I proceed to restore the default xubuntu settings for gamepads? I installed the ubuntu-xboxdrv and xboxdrv packages
[19:07] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Does it appear that grub was overwritten by windows?
[19:07] <Valduare> daftykins: the selft test log structure section   in the pastebin shows some tests Completed: read failure
[19:07] <daftykins> sns_: not a clue.
[19:08] <daftykins> Valduare: oh i didn't realise you ran any... that thing's probably toast.
[19:09] <Valduare> the last test I ran after I replaced the superblock from a backup now the overall health states the drive is fine
[19:09] <Valduare> so are these results from the past few tests i ran before I replaced the superblock?
[19:09] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: sure because it does not pop up anymore
[19:09] <daftykins> Valduare: won't stop it reading badly if the controller's gone.
[19:10] <daftykins> Valduare: disk tests don't have anything to do with the file system state, you're confusing things
[19:10] <Valduare> smart tests
[19:10] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Follow the RestoreGrub procedure above then.
[19:10] <daftykins> Valduare: there is no distinction
[19:10] <grubissue> bubbasaures: jhutchins_wk  why doesn't fdisk -l show my linux partition? gparted does....but fdisk -l doesn't
[19:11] <jhutchins_wk> Valduare: If you're seeing read errors in the log it's time to go hardware shopping.
[19:11] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Try sudo parted -l
[19:11] <bubbasaures> grubissue, pastebin that parted command
[19:11] <Valduare> i already bought new drive for the laptop and ddrescued the contents to the new drive  now im playing around with this old drive
[19:11] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: fdisk doesn't deal with gpt correctly.
[19:11] <Valduare> so far i’ve been able to restore the superblock and now smart tests states its fine
[19:12] <daftykins> Valduare: oh right, and you keep playing with the file system when it's faulty? that's fine and all for your own time, but not much point involving others
[19:12] <andlabs> Hi. Is there a ppa-purge that does NOT depend on aptitude? Thanks.
[19:12] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk:  bubbasaures  you're right  nice command parted -l i didn't even know it now it's better let me retry the procedure.
[19:12] <Z3> Hi, why with  nouveau driver the screen looks darker than nvidia proprietary driver? It always happened to me, with different nvidia graphic cards and ubuntu versions. Sometimes like in "openarena" graphics are much more darker than nvidia proprietary driver.
[19:12] <daftykins> Valduare: i would zero fill that disk and read the SMART info after.
[19:12] <Valduare> the drive had windows 7 on it before and some bad viruses and destroyed its ability to boot windows in a timely mannar
[19:12] <Valduare> ok
[19:13] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Remember you want to install grub to /dev/sda, not to a partition like sda1.
[19:13] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: sure so it detects also other os ?
[19:15] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: having trouble to umount what i mount on /mnt lol ?   busy?
[19:17] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: The BIOS points to the root of the boot drive for the first stage bootloader.
[19:17] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Doesn't actually have anything to do with the other OS, that's detected when you run update-grub.
[19:17] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: umounted it umounting firts sys proc and stuff .... strange
[19:17] <Valduare> its zeroing out now wonder how long a terabyte 5400 sata 3 drive will take
[19:17] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: ah sorry it's true
[19:18] <Wordsman> hello all   got a questions...i am tryign to copy some fonts to usr/share/fonts so i can use them with the app infinality .. so i installed gksu and created a context menu entry "open as root" and now i can access, create and delete, but i can not paste into any folder that requires root access.... need ehlp thx
[19:18] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, quick question. If I'm sharing a printer over SMB (Ubuntu host) do I need a CUPS driver to share to a Windows client or can I have the real drivers?
[19:18] <daftykins> Valduare: hours
[19:19] <Valduare> these drives are getting too big
[19:19] <Valduare> code needs to get smaller and smarter lol
[19:19] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all
[19:19] <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] <Wordsman> err cups
[19:19] <jhutchins_wk> Wordsman: Use the command line.  Running file managers as root is very dangerous.
[19:20] <grubissue> sorry
[19:20] <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] <daftykins> DreamPCs: standard driver...
[19:20] <Wordsman> yes u can use the driver that came with the printer
[19:20] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: wired interface?
[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
[19:21] <Wordsman> yeah yeah i dont have time to move 600 fonts over with the mv command....
[19:21] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, yes.  And the computer doesn't have wifi
[19:21] <DreamPCs> Ok cool, thanks daftykins
[19:21] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: in what scenario are you seeing poor performance?
[19:21] <Wordsman> ok i will try that
[19:21] <DreamPCs> Wordsman typically using mv is quicker than using a GUI to do the same thing.
[19:22] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: look : http://pastebin.com/MGi7xJPm  bubbasaures
[19:24] <bubbasaures> grubissue, Is this a OEM windows? i wonder if you are efi booting.
[19:24] <Wordsman> ok using the move command in the context menu as root worked.... sadly this has to be either an issue with Mate or nautilus cause i never had this issue on my laptop running 14.04 xfce
[19:24] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, primarily download speed.  On the local LAN.  Running iperf between the computer in question and a server connected through a 100 Mbit switch results in less than 100 Mbit speeds (by a lot).  Same test worked fine several months ago (was still on 12.10 then)
[19:25] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: you know you have to adjust the TCP window size yes?
[19:25] <daftykins> with iperf.
[19:25] <grubissue> bubbasaures: it's a toshiba so...yes i mean...everything that is not its  windows  i try to boot.....i boot it using CMS boot.... UEFI doesn't work from the beginning
[19:25] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, ?
[19:26] <grubissue> this 14.04 live is so fast on my i5
[19:26] <Wordsman> ok thx for the help  tc all
[19:26] <hyponic> I am trying to install ffserver. i installed ffmpeg where ffserver is supposed to be a part of the package but it is not. can anyone help?
[19:26] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: ok run "iperf" and read the info about the TCP window size :)
[19:27] <grubissue> gonna use mii-tool monday morning lol i'm making a new network rack with coloured cat5 jhutchins_wk bubbasaures
[19:27] <bubbasaures> grubissue, As other info, the W8 key will not work for the W8.1 update if you try to reinstall W8.1 so clone that install, on booting I'm not sure.
[19:27] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, but, between two other servers running the same test on the same LAN I get 70-95 Mbit/sec
[19:27] <daftykins> bubbasaures: grubissue - there are ways to feed an 8 key to 8.1. very simple.
[19:27] <LemonSqueeze> I'm sure this question is asked a lot, but my num pad is not working (but it does scrool when on internet pages) .... did some looking online and saw many people finding out it was acting as their mouse, I looked and found out that is not the problem, looking for other solutions. THanks
[19:28] <grubissue> bubbasaures: i can't understand...everything is pretty stock however....it's just linux to be fixed....
[19:28] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Hmm, so your suggesting breaking the rules in the MS contract, right on the ubuntu channel.
[19:28] <jhutchins_wk> LemonSqueeze: Not exactly a common problem.  What kind of hardware ?
[19:28] <grubissue> i need to eat now....
[19:29] <bubbasaures> ;)
[19:29] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: http://pastebin.com/MGi7xJPm
[19:29] <daftykins> bubbasaures: i think you misunderstand.
[19:30] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Yes, I know of several ways, however having a clone covers all your bases, was my point in short.
[19:31] <daftykins> bubbasaures: ok, totally unnecessary though
[19:31] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, I see the option for the window size in the man page, but I don't know what I should set it to?
[19:31] <LemonSqueeze> jhutchins_wk: intel core i7, nVidia 560m, 12 gb ram... that kinda of hardware? Its a g74sx, so a laptop with a full keyboard
[19:31] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: experiment with multiples of 8KB
[19:31] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: have you tested *actual* disk to disk transfer rates?
[19:31] <bubbasaures> daftykins, sigh th opinions abound,this is such a waste of time and ego fueled.
[19:32] <jhutchins_wk> LemonSqueeze: Numlock?
[19:32] <daftykins> bubbasaures: oh not at all, i'm sorry you think that way - i just don't believe i would suggest to take a lengthy process when there's a legitimate course of action.
[19:33] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, Yes.  Repeated transfer of 2.5 GB file saturated 100 Mbit LAN speed at 12.2 MB/s
[19:33] <LemonSqueeze> jhutchins_wk: no, no numlock key, replace with a calculator quick key... which does work....
[19:33] <JokesOnYou77> This was before I upgraded to 14.04 though
[19:33] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: but somehow you say your internet connection isn't up to speed?
[19:34] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, Yeah.  Started noticing about two weeks ago.  Haven't had time to debug until today
[19:34] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: so what have you done to actually test this?
[19:34] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: though i can certainly tell you that changing 'driver' is a waste of time since LAN transfer works fine
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <LemonSqueeze> jhutchins_wk: did some more digging since you got me on another train of though, check this out: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?5642-How-to-turn-Numlock-LED-off
[19:38] <jhutchins_wk> LemonSqueeze: Yeah, sounds like you've got some pretty special hardware there that doesn't even support Windows 8.
[19:38] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, file transfer did work fine several months ago.  Last week tried to transfer a similarly sized file and got a tenth of that speed.  Thus my problem
[19:39] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: and how is it today?
[19:40] <LemonSqueeze> jhutchins_wk: So just suck it up with no num pad from now on?
[19:42] <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...
[19:43] <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....
[19:48] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, It looks like it was the switches :P  SHould have known better than to accuse the software.
[19:48] <daftykins> ;)
[19:49] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: struggling with 100Mb is pretty funny, i've run gigabit for what feels like 10 years now and i saturate that. 110MB/sec+
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:52] <AlexPortable> How do I reset everyhint when something freezes?
[19:52] <bekks> Press the power button
[19:52] <freezevee> I am trying to sudo chmod user:user a folder and it completes successfully but the owner does not change
[19:52] <bubbasaures> !reisub | AlexPortable
[19:52] <AlexPortable> in 10.04 i had alt+printscreen+k
[19:52] <freezevee> any ideas ?
[19:53] <daftykins> freezevee: sounds like it's on an NTFS volume?
[19:53] <jhutchins_wk> freezevee: Wrong command.
[19:53] <jhutchins_wk> freezevee: You want chown.
[19:53] <daftykins> ah yes ^
[19:53] <freezevee> chown* sorry my mistake
[19:53] <freezevee> I wrote chown
[19:53] <freezevee> actually it's ubuntu as a vbox guest in a mac os host
[19:53] <daftykins> freezevee: so what file system is this on?
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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] <jhutchins_wk> LemonSqueeze: Wow, good on ya!
[19:56] <freezevee> daftykins: can't do that because it runs in vbox but I can type it
[19:56] <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)
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <v3zz> i believe if you cannot boot - you cannot decrypt...
[19:58] <daftykins> freezevee: ah, go ask in #vbox then
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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
[20:02] <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] <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).
[20:03] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: i don't know what you're saying. 'good or bad'
[20:03] <JokesOnYou77> jhutchins_wk, realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2
[20:03] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, rubbish -> bad ?
[20:03] <daftykins> yes
[20:03] <JokesOnYou77> "JokesOnYou77: speedtest.net is rubbish, try some actual Linux ISO downloads from local mirrors"
[20:03] <daftykins> yes.
[20:04] <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] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: since i'm using irssi... did you reply?
[20:05] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: iperf isn't meant for that
[20:05] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: i already said how to test more effectively :)
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: i prefer results over discussion of theories :)

[20:08] <ubuntuaddicted> how do i determine what modules a package was configured with? for example, i want to see if the nginx package provided in the ubuntu repos has the rtmp module configured in it
[20:08] <Guest1821> Guys, after some help - I have Xubuntu 14.04 installed on my Laptop but i get random crashes. (laptop completely locks up)
[20:09] <Guest1821> I'm unable to exit to TTY
[20:09] <Guest1821> Not sure which log i should be looking in
[20:09] <IonaBlu23> you know... sometimes, if not many times, it's perfectly okay to let someone else believe something, even if you know it's not true.  It's not necessary to correct other people's ideas, due to stubbornness, lack of open mindedness, or impatience.
[20:09] <JokesOnYou77> daftykins, I'm downloading from the main ubuntu site but I'm not sure that's what you meant
[20:09] <daftykins> Guest1821: have you run memtest?
[20:09] <XCVB> how do I autostart a user in the background
[20:09] <Guest1821> Yes, i ran two passes and it passed
[20:10] <Guest1821> No errors
[20:10] <daftykins> Guest1821: disk healthy?
[20:10] <Guest1821> Yep, brand new samsung SSD
[20:10] <daftykins> IonaBlu23: keep your thoughts to yourself in future
[20:10] <Guest1821> This is a pretty fresh install too
[20:10] <daftykins> hmm, no ideas here then
[20:10] <Guest1821> It only happens like once a week
[20:11] <Guest1821> but still.... It shouldn't happen.
[20:11] <Guest1821> :(
[20:12] <Ben64> Guest1821: check logs?
[20:12] <Linnak> Hi. I read a test on internet about GPU testing with linux "built in" drivers and NVIDIA drivers, and with NVIDIA drivers the speed was almost 10 times faster. When I choose my card on NVIDIA site and download it for linux 32bit it always fu**s up my system. No signal or just terminal. What can I do then?
[20:12] <Guest1821> Ben - Which log should i be checking?
[20:12] <Guest1821> I
[20:12] <Ben64> Guest1821: is ssh still active (if you don't have ssh server installed, install it)
[20:12] <Ben64> Guest1821: all of them
[20:12] <jhutchins_wk> Guest1821: Sounds hardwareish.  Have you installed lm_sensors?
[20:13] <Guest1821> I havent tried SSH, i shall install it
[20:13] <Guest1821> Nope - Should i?>
[20:13] <Ben64> Guest1821: sometimes a computer can lock up but you can still ssh into the computer, its very handy
[20:13] <jhutchins_wk> Guest1821: Yeah, it's a good idea to have it available.  install it and run sudo sensors-detect.
[20:13] <grubissue> jhutchins_wk: my problem is really hard.....
[20:13] <jhutchins_wk> Guest1821: The problem is that when something locks up, it usually stops logging before anything useful gets logged.
[20:14] <Guest1821> Im installing it now
[20:14] <Guest1821> Once this is installed. How will it help me track down the issue?
[20:15] <Guest1821> I
[20:15] <Guest1821> I
[20:15] <Guest1821> I've had a look in the xorg log and syslog and couldnt see anything that indicated the problem
[20:16] <IonaBlu23> and so the true face shows itself.
[20:16] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Sorry, didn't see you come back.
[20:16] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Not sure what your issue is.  Maybe you have an odd partition scheme?  Figure out why it's not finding that module file.
[20:16] <kambaya> hi there
[20:17] <daftykins> IonaBlu23: if you have a question please ask it
[20:17] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: You can actually run apt-get from within the chroot if you need to reinstall something.
[20:17] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: You might want to fsck the (unmounted) partitions before you go further.
[20:17] <jhutchins_wk> grubissue: Do you know what caused the problem?
[20:18] <jhutchins_wk> Guest1821: Once you get it installed and configured it should log to /var/log/syslog, and you can see ifyou're getting high temperatures or voltage problems.

[20:19] <frank_o> k1l_: its ubuntu's fault its relying on python for such stuff in the first place. how should i know that if i modify python my whole system will get messed up?
[20:20] <frank_o> k1l_: this is clearly bad strategy on ubuntu's part. more nature unix-like os'es do not rely on python for basic low-level or shell-related stuff. doing that is like taking a private jet to go visit your next door neighbor imho.
[20:20] <frank_o> k1l_: * more mature unix-like os'es, sorry
[20:24] <k1l_> frank_o: i am fine with you using whatever you think i more mature. but changing stuff that is systemrelevant and then wondering if something breaks and then blaming ubuntu, well, that is not surprising to me.
[20:24] <kostkon> frank_o, same thing will happen if you modify your glibc. Your logic doesn't make any sense. Python is just another programming language.

[20:29] <bazhang> try the mailing list frank_o
[20:29] <bazhang> !lists | frank_o
[20:29] <Paramezius> there is sme kind f bug.it chashes while starting
[20:29] <kamx> sory am new here,,,, what this chanel dealing with?
[20:29] <bazhang> kamx Ubuntu OS
[20:29] <andlabs> is there a ppa that provides xutils-dev with xorg-macros.m4 1.18? 14.10 ships with 1.17

[20:34] <xentity1x> I'm having trouble starting civ 5 on steam. It was working yesterday but today it suddenly stopped. I think it's having trouble running it on my nvidia card.
[20:34] <xentity1x> Anyone have advice
[20:34] <bazhang> trijntje, what does sudo blkid show
[20:34] <andlabs> bazhang: thanks
[20:35] <bazhang> xentity1x, what card
[20:35] <Paramezius> ok, one moment please
[20:35] <trijntje> bazhang: if I run that from the live system it shows the same UUID for root as fstab. In fact, I've set the UUID of the partition to the value in /etc/fstab, using copy/paste
[20:36] <bazhang> trijntje, this was home right?, or did you try to restore the / partition
[20:36] <xentity1x> bazhang, http://pastebin.com/zCWUy0Sg
[20:37] <trijntje> bazhang: I only had a single partition on the original system, so everything was under /
[20:38] <bazhang> trijntje, pardon, I did not see the method of backing up/restoring; was it clonezilla, or something else
[20:39] <bazhang> xentity1x, is that card supported with the prop drivers? ie in the additional drivers area? how did you install drivers for it, if so
[20:39] <Paramezius> bazhang, here you are
[20:39] <Paramezius> http://pastebin.com/AKzhFXdJ
[20:39] <trijntje> bazhang: no, I just used rsync from a live system to copy every file under / to an external drive, using sudu rsync -avrxH. And I restored the backup with the same command

[20:45] <ex-parrot> does anyone know how to update the lowerdir when using the overlayroot package?
[20:48] <kamx> usually on windows os the programs extension ends with .exe..... what are extensions that identifies the linux based programs?
[20:48] <ex-parrot> the concept doesn't map directly kamx
[20:49] <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?
[20:50] <ex-parrot> 'file extensions' is a DOS concept, it doesn't directly map to unix-like environments like ubuntu
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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] <kamx>  i tried to download XAMPP for ubuntu but i failed to install it. but it now the downloaded file is located in DOWNLOADS forder

[20:52] <kamx> Kil_ : y dont i use xampp
[20:52] <k1l_> kamx: ubuntu already ships all you need as packages . just install the lampp

[20:58] <Fleuv> histo, How to clean the cache of the favicons at my local apache2 webserver for my firefox browser?
[20:59] <Fleuv> Hi*
[21:00] <rypervenche> Fleuv: That will be in your browser. Browsers cache favicons very well :P
[21:01] <rypervenche> Fleuv: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/clear-favicon-firefoxs-cache-31354.html
[21:02] <Fleuv> rypervenche: Doesn't seem to work
[21:03] <rypervenche> Fleuv: Try ctrl+r to refresh the page.
[21:03] <Fleuv> xD
[21:03] <Fleuv> Of course i did that already
[21:04] <Fleuv> rypervenche: ctrl+shift+r also doesnt work
[21:04] <rypervenche> Fleuv: It is not "of course" for us. We can't know what you've tried. Are you sure you've fixed it on the web server? Are you able to view it correctly in another browser?
[21:05] <Fleuv> Yes I just replaced it with another favicon
[21:05] <Fleuv> the current favicon
[21:06] <rypervenche> Fleuv: I would try some of these suggestions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208933/how-do-i-force-a-favicon-refresh
[21:07] <rypervenche> Like I said before, they are a pain to update :P
[21:08] <CheckDavid> Does ubunto work well on hybrid PCs?
[21:08] <CheckDavid> The more affordable ones.
[21:10] <Blaster> Hey I'm having trouble with a fresh install of Ubuntu.  RhythmBox won't play any of the mp3 files I backed up from my 14.04 installation and that used to play fine.
[21:10] <Blaster> Ubuntu 14.10 that is.
[21:10] <EriC^^> Blaster: did you install the restricted-extras
[21:10] <Goldwing> Blaster : did you check the "Intall 3rd party plugins" during installation
[21:11] <Goldwing> EriC^^ : heh, beat me to it :)
[21:11] <Blaster> Yes I installed those.
[21:11] <EriC^^> Blaster: any error from rhythmbox?
[21:11] <EriC^^> Goldwing: :)
[21:12] <Blaster> I'm just trying to copy the files over again. One minute.
[21:13] <EriC^^> Blaster: try to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
[21:13] <EriC^^> if it doesn't work
[21:14] <ubuntuaddicted> whats the command to get a service to run at boot up if i added it to /etc/init.d/?
[21:15] <Blaster> Ugh everything is crashing on a fresh install.  When I double click an mp3 it opened in the video player and then that crashed.
[21:15] <Blaster> And RhythmBox won't play the mp3's for some reason.
[21:16] <Goldwing> Blaster : did you check the installation medium for error's?
[21:16] <Blaster> Goldwing, no.  I installed from a USB.
[21:16] <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.
[21:17] <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
[21:18] <Goldwing> blaster : yes
[21:18] <EriC^^> Blaster: you can run a integrity check on the usb when it boots, so you know the usb isn't faulty
[21:18] <CheckDavid> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop - why doesn't this link tell me how to put Ubuntu on the USB first?
[21:19] <Ben64> CheckDavid: who cares what order they're in?
[21:19] <CheckDavid> Ben64: order?
[21:19] <k1l_> CheckDavid: it does one page before you got to that page
[21:19] <Ben64> usb is right under dvd
[21:19] <Blaster> Goldwing, the checksum is different.
[21:20] <CheckDavid> Ben64: that link doesn't tell about it at all I'm confused.
[21:20] <Blaster> But I downloaded it right from the Ubuntu site, so how could it be different?
[21:20] <EriC^^> Blaster: are you positive?
[21:20] <k1l_> CheckDavid: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop  scroll down to "easy ways to switch to ubuntu" and then from windows
[21:20] <Goldwing> Blaster : rebuild the USB, and connect the USB directly to the computer, do NOT use a USB HUB
[21:20] <EriC^^> md5sum /path/to/iso
[21:20] <Blaster> Goldwing, what's a USB hub?
[21:20] <CheckDavid> k1l_: not really. I didn't find anything about it in the previous page. The previous is just download
[21:20] <CheckDavid> k1l_: I'm on Debian now
[21:21] <k1l_> CheckDavid: see my 2nd answer
[21:21] <k1l_> CheckDavid: well then just dd the image onto the usb
[21:21] <EriC^^> Goldwing: Blaster how does rebuilding the usb help
[21:21] <CheckDavid> It's just as simple as DD?
[21:21] <Blaster> Goldwing, what if I download Ubuntu again and the checksum is still different from the one on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[21:21] <Goldwing> blaster : a USB hub is a device to connect more devices to a single USB port
[21:21] <EriC^^> Blaster: you need to use rsync to patch up the iso
[21:21] <k1l_> CheckDavid: yes, since ubuntu uses "hybrid isos"
[21:21] <EriC^^> Blaster: read above ^^
[21:21] <BTJustice> I am installing Ubuntu onto an Acer Laptop.  Whenever the desktop loads, the screen goes completely black.  I have to hold down the FN key and press the left arrow key to get the brightness back up where it needs to be.  I tried editing grub with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux" but that does nothing.  Any pointers?
[21:22] <CheckDavid> k1l_: oh wow wth I'm impressed. I remember having an hard time with other Linux distros
[21:22] <Blaster> EriC^^:  Why would I do that when I could just download the ISO again?
[21:22] <CheckDavid> Thanks k1l_
[21:22] <EriC^^> Blaster: cause it doesn't make sense to download it again
[21:22] <k1l_> np CheckDavid
[21:22] <EriC^^> Blaster: rsync can just download the missing parts in a couple mins
[21:23] <EriC^^> Blaster: it uses a differencing algorithm
[21:23] <Goldwing> Blaster : do what EriC^^ says, it's faster
[21:23] <Blaster> EriC^^: How do I do that? I'm doing this on OSX by the way, since my Ubuntu PC has been borked.
[21:23] <Blaster> Actually I'm not sure if I verified the checksum properly.
[21:23] <EriC^^> Blaster: ok, first are you positive about the iso's checksum?
[21:23] <ubuntuaddicted> anyone familar with init scripts? i need some assistance please.
[21:24] <Blaster> Where do I find the SHA256SUMS.gpg file for ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso so I know what hash to compare against?
[21:24] <EriC^^> Blaster: md5sum /path/to/is
[21:24] <EriC^^> */path/to/iso
[21:26] <Blaster> EriC^^:  I guess my hashes do line up.
[21:27] <Blaster> I thought they didn't but I was mismatching SHA256 and MD5.
[21:27] <EriC^^> ok
[21:27] <EriC^^> did you install the gstreamer package?
[21:27] <Blaster> So I guess I don't need to reinstall Ubuntu.
[21:27] <EriC^^> Blaster: try to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
[21:27] <Blaster> I think so but let me make sure.
[21:27] <Blaster> Rhythmbox prompted me to download that initially I think.
[21:28] <Blaster> EriC^^: Yep already installed and latest version.
[21:28] <EriC^^> ok
[21:28] <Blaster> Hmm, really weird that RhythmBox won't open the mp3 files.  They worked fine when I had 14.04.
[21:29] <Blaster> Actually it works now, not sure why. :)
[21:29] <EriC^^> cool :)
[21:29] <Blaster> I reopened RhythmBox and it finally worked.
[21:29] <Blaster> Now to figure out how to prevent RhythmBox from crashing when I plug my iPhone into USB for charging.
[21:30] <dreamminder> do you know any mod that changes terminal look to some oldschool stuff ? :p
[21:30] <dreamminder> like you know, these old green CRT fonts
[21:30] <EriC^^> dreamminder: define oldschool stuff
[21:31] <bekks> dreamminder: Just change the color?
[21:31] <ubuntuaddicted> could someone please help me make this init script see my nginx that I installed in /usr/local/nginx/sbin please? https://github.com/Fleshgrinder/nginx-sysvinit-script
[21:31] <SchrodingersScat> dreamminder: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
[21:31] <dreamminder> is it possible to do it in the native terminal?
[21:31] <EriC^^> dreamminder: you mean gnome-terminal?
[21:31] <EriC^^> dreamminder: or a tty?
[21:31] <dreamminder> tty
[21:31] <dreamminder> wow this is beautiful
[21:32] <EriC^^> tput setaf <number>

[21:36] <BTJustice> I am installing Ubuntu onto an Acer Laptop.  Whenever the desktop loads, the screen goes completely black.

Any pointers?
[21:37] <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.
[21:38] <Crell> Wait, hang on...  Ignore me for a moment.
[21:40] <Blaster> I have 3 monitors and when I open a video file it causes all three monitors to go black for a second, and then when they turn back on, only 2 monitors are enabled.  Then I have to open another video file to reverse it.
[21:40] <Blaster> It's super annoying!
[21:40] <mrkirby153> can anyone explain why exim4 isn't recieving email? Some site says it can't make an SMTP connection
[21:40] <Bashing-om> Crell: Awaiting, in the meantime, where is "Domain Nmae Serve"r defined ?
[21:41] <Crell> Bashing-om: huh?
[21:41] <_Trullo> Blaster, they are changing resolution or something
[21:42] <Blaster> _Trullo, why are they doing that when opening a video?
[21:42] <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. :-)
[21:44] <Crell> apt is giving this error when installing apache2: error setting ownership of `/var/www/html.dpkg-new': Operation not permitted
[21:44] <CheckDavid> I got a boot error while trying to boot my usb
[21:44] <Bashing-om> Crell: Great ! good trouble shooting ! .. When you are good, you are good.
[21:44] <Crell> I have my vagrant root mapped to /var/www/, and there's a web directory in there that is supposed to be my docroot.
[21:44] <CheckDavid> I wonder why. Maybe because I had other files in the USB?
[21:44] <Crell> I am assuming that's related, but I don't know why it would be an issue now when it wasn't on my office computer.
[21:44] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: unlikely
[21:45] <CheckDavid> Then why? EriC^^
[21:45] <EriC^^> what's the boot error?
[21:46] <CheckDavid> "Boot error" EriC^^
[21:46] <CheckDavid> Just that. 2 words.
[21:46] <Guest81906> Is it normal for internal errors to popup if you restart using `sudo shutdown -r now`?
[21:46] <Bashing-om> Guest81906: No, that is not "normal" !
[21:46] <EriC^^> Guest83482: no
[21:47] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: did you checksum the iso?
[21:47] <CheckDavid> I didnt
[21:47] <CheckDavid> Is there a checksum tool in Debian that I can use?
[21:47] <EriC^^> md5sum /path/to/iso
[21:47] <Blaster> I keep getting internal errors, this time it's from /usr/lib/upower/upowerd and it says it crashed with SIGSEGV in service_client_free().
[21:47] <CheckDavid> Never checksummed anything EriC^^
[21:47] <CheckDavid> Thanks EriC^^
[21:47] <EriC^^> np
[21:47] <Blaster> Should I set it to ignore problems of that type?
[21:48] <k1l> CheckDavid: did you dd that iso plain onto the "dev/sdx" or a partition? did you checksum the iso?
[21:49] <CheckDavid> k1l_: I drag and dropped into my usb
[21:49] <Bashing-om> CheckDavid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM , Windows: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows .
[21:50] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: that won't work
[21:50] <CheckDavid> Why not? ;(
[21:50] <EriC^^> you need to extract the iso
[21:50] <EriC^^> is there unetbootin for debian?
[21:50] <CheckDavid> k1l_: told me that is not required. :o
[21:51] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: you can use dd too
[21:52] <CheckDavid> I thought I could download and dd
[21:52] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: so you did use dd?
[21:52] <EriC^^> you just said you dragged and dropped
[21:52] <EriC^^> oh
[21:52] <EriC^^> dragged & dropped = dd
[21:52] <EriC^^> ?
[21:53] <CheckDavid> That's what I am assuming it is
[21:53] <EriC^^> no, dd is a program
[21:53]  * Hulio is in the house
[21:53] <CheckDavid> Lool omg
[21:54] <EriC^^> hehe :)
[21:54] <Goldwing> ROFL
[21:54] <CheckDavid> I'm feeling so bad.
[21:54] <Blaster> From reading the manual dd it didn't seem obvious how that tool is used to create bootable media.
[21:54] <CheckDavid> :p
[21:54] <CheckDavid> What is dd again?
[21:54] <EriC^^> Blaster: it's a low level copier
[21:54] <EriC^^> "dd - convert and copy a file"
[21:55] <CheckDavid> What? How does that work?
[21:55] <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] <bekks> Blaster: To whatever you use it for. :)
[21:56] <juan_> :O!
[21:56] <AlexPortable> Why is my cpu fan constantly turned on?
[21:56] <Ben64> AlexPortable: quite normal
[21:56] <AlexPortable> on windows my system was quiet
[21:56] <Blaster> I mean in the case of bootable Ubuntu media, what's it converting the iso/img to?
[21:56] <Goldwing> AlexPortable : to much pr0n?
[21:56] <bekks> Blaster: No.
[21:56] <Goldwing> sorry.... :)
[21:57] <bekks> Blaster: It just copies the iso file onto the usb device.
[21:57] <rebs> !servers
[21:57] <AlexPortable> rebs: what is that command supposed to do?
[21:57] <rebs> wrong server :p
[21:57] <rebs> it lists available servers for somewher i idle
[21:58] <Blaster> bekks, I think it must do more, because it's a series of directories and files on the usb device after using dd command, not just an ISO file.
[21:59] <bekks> Blaster: It doesnt do more.
[21:59] <AlexPortable> ah
[21:59] <AlexPortable> :P
[21:59] <bekks> Blaster: It copies all blocks of the iso file to the USB. It doesnt care about the content,
[21:59] <kklimonda> anyone familiar with how is dnsmasq configured in ubuntu, and its interaction with vpns?
[21:59] <Blaster> I think it must extract the ISO or something.  The ISO must be an archive.
[21:59] <EriC^^> Blaster: it can transfer a hard disk into a file, and a file back to a hard disk
[21:59] <bekks> Blaster: It does not extract the iso whatsoever.
[22:00] <Blaster> bekks, then why does it appear to be files and directories on the bootable medium after using the dd command, and not simply just an ISO file?
[22:00] <bekks> Blaster: BEcause it copies all bocks of the iso file and doesnt care about the content.
[22:01] <CheckDavid> How do I did EriC^^ ?
[22:01] <bekks> *blocks
[22:01] <Blaster> bekks: Isn't that file extraction?
[22:01] <bekks> Blaster: No.
[22:01] <bekks> Blaster: It is "copying all bytes of that thing to the target, and not caring what those bytes actually mean."
[22:02] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: first make a fat32 partition on the usb if it's not there already
[22:03] <EriC^^> CheckDavid: sudo parted -l will list the partitions and disks
[22:04] <CheckDavid> Ah must format the USB first. And me thinking I would only need to DD lol
[22:05] <bekks> CheckDavid: no, you dont need to do that.
[22:05] <bekks> Current iso images can be transferred as is to the USB.
[22:07] <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?
[22:08] <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.
[22:09] <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?
[22:10] <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.
[22:11] <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?
[22:12] <blaaa> NoobsFlyVFR: you could have the volume mounted after a system with sshd is running
[22:13] <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.
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <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.
[22:16] <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] <blaaa> NoobsFlyVFR: you could also look into using a TPM (tpm-luks) and trustedgrub etc, but that only has limited value
[22:18] <lamp> hi guys, i am trying to rewrite the url on ubuntu 14 lts apache. i need all requests to go to index.php in the root directory. i cant get it to work. i have enabled mod_rewrite. and my .htaccess works on an older version of ubuntu
[22:18] <NoobsFlyVFR> Well, my server doesn't come with a trust platform module, but trusted-grub seems promising.
[22:19] <CheckDavid> :p k1l only because you guys help me on IRC lol
[22:20] <mrkirby153> So, why is it that Mxtoolbox can send emails to my server just fine but gmail can't?
[22:20] <skinux> Can Bazaar be used to download source files from Launchpad?
[22:21] <SchrodingersScat> lamp: and you have the right settings in apache2.conf ?
[22:21] <lamp> cool nick, checking right now
[22:23] <SchrodingersScat> lamp: i'm not great at that, but when i was having .htaccess problems I added some AllowOverride and etc. and then suddenly .htaccess rules were being followed.
[22:36] <puke> hey guys. i installed sublime text, and checked /usr/share/applications/. there's a .desktop file there. but sublime text isn't in the launcher. what causes this?
[22:39] <robert__> -
[22:41] <BTJustice> I am installing Ubuntu onto an Acer Laptop.  Whenever the desktop loads, the screen goes completely black.  I have to hold down the FN key and press the left arrow key to get the brightness back up where it needs to be.  I tried editing grub with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux" but that does nothing.  Any pointers?
[22:42] <l0rdn1x> BTJustice, sounds like a graphic driver issue.
[22:42] <NoobsFlyVFR> I tried to bypass the LVM LUKS-Encryption passphrase prompt by replacing the lines $cryptkeyscript "$cryptkey" | $cryptcreate --key-file=- ; then with echo -n "PASSWORD" | $cryptcreate --key-file=- ; then in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot in order to put the password straight into the decryption part of the code instead of prompting the user.
[22:42] <NoobsFlyVFR> But this hasn't worked.
[22:42] <NoobsFlyVFR> Any idea why?
[22:42] <BTJustice> There is no graphic driver installed by me.
[22:43] <BTJustice> It is usung whatever the default for the Intel chipset is.
[22:43] <BTJustice> And there is nothing listed under Additional Drivers.
[22:43] <l0rdn1x> BTJustice, is this 14.04 ?
[22:43] <BTJustice> 14.10
[22:43] <puke> hey guys. i installed sublime text, and checked /usr/share/applications/. there's a .desktop file there. but sublime text isn't in the launcher. what causes this?
[22:43] <BTJustice> Ubuntu MATE
[22:44] <BTJustice> http://ubuntu-mate.org/
[22:45] <l0rdn1x> BTJustice, I'm not familiar with that distro
[22:45] <BTJustice> *https://ubuntu-mate.org/
[22:45] <BTJustice> It is awesome and i have installed it onto many computers, but this Acer laptop is the first time this issue has happened.
[22:45] <l0rdn1x> BTJustice, I've always had issues with Acer for Linux that's why I stop buying them.
[22:46] <lamp> SchrodingersScat you are not only a physics phenomena - you are a genius!
[22:46] <lamp> thank you
[22:47] <BTJustice> It is for a client.  Not my personal laptop nor choice of one, lol.
[22:47] <SchrodingersScat> lamp: great, have fun
[22:47] <puke> is there a way of reloading the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/?
[22:49] <Finetundra>  why does ubuntu's video freeze when doing graphic intensive things( such as playing a game)?
[22:49] <Finetundra> video drivers are the correct ones
[22:49] <testerbit> how can I allocate more diskspace to an existing partition?
[22:50] <Finetundra> testerbit, i believe you can manage it via gparted
[22:50] <Surendil> testerbit: gparted
[22:50] <testerbit> where is the documentation?
[22:50] <Crell> OK, the folks in #httpd just sent me back here.
[22:50] <Surendil> hi everyone
[22:50] <robert__> is there a good way to find the correct video drivers?
[22:50] <Crell> I have an apache vhost configuration that is not loading.
[22:50] <Crell> I'm on a freshly installed 14.04 vagrant box.
[22:51] <testerbit> Finetundra: problem is this is a remote host, can this be done from terminal
[22:51] <Finetundra> testerbit, i honestly don't know.
[22:51] <Surendil> testerbit: gparted is gtk
[22:51] <Finetundra> have you googled it?
[22:52] <Surendil> f1?
[22:52] <robert__> exit
[22:52] <robert__> exit
[22:52] <testerbit> Surendil: is their a way to do from terminal?
[22:53] <Surendil> testerbit: if you use lvm yes, i don't know if it's possible with ext3 or ext4
[22:54] <Finetundra> testerbit, perhaps this will be of some use:  http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=gparted-live-manual#gparted-live-working-with-terminal-window
[22:57] <puke> hey guys. i installed sublime text, and checked /usr/share/applications/. there's a .desktop file there. but sublime text isn't in the launcher. what causes this?
[22:58] <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?
[23:01] <puke> EriC^^: but doesn't it have to be in the dash or launcher in the first place
[23:01] <puke> EriC^^: i mean the panel on the left
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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?
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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] <EriC^^> it has a "?"
[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 
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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] <puke> EriC^^: thank you very much
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <willpowers> I installed OpenSSH on the guest.
[23:13] <isene> Trying to install an earlier package (easy-slow-down-manager from http://code.google.com/p/easy-slow-down-manager/downloads/detail?name=easy-slow-down-manager-dkms_0.15_all.deb&can=2&q=), I needed first to install dkms and got this; "Error! 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] <reisio> willpowers: that's a start
[23:13] <kevin> hey guys. tried to do-release-upgrade and i got an error of unmet dependency that cannot be installed (ubuntu-desktop), here is some relevant information: http://pastebin.com/E1xDrZtZ can anyone assist? thanks.
[23:13] <mcnunyo> http://xdcc.kametsu.com/?search=fractale kametsu
[23:14] <willpowers> reisio, how can I figure out the issue?
[23:14] <reisio> willpowers: what issue?
[23:14] <willpowers> Why I am unable to connect to the guest via SSH.
[23:14] <willpowers> I can connect using VNC.
[23:15] <jrib> kevin: what ubuntu versions?
[23:15] <compdoc> willpowers, not using user 'root' are you?
[23:16] <willpowers> compdoc: Nope.
[23:16] <jrib> kevin: also, pastebin output of "apt-cache policy gnome-session-common"
[23:17] <kevin> jrib: uhhmm i think i was going from saucy to trusty. here's the output: http://pastebin.com/EdLr9H1e
[23:22] <jrib> kevin: I assume these gnome-session- packages came from unofficial repos?
[23:22] <kevin> jrib: i cannot recall, but i guess so...?
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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] <miceiken> miceiken@clusterbrain:~$ sudo -u mangos -H screen -x mangosd
[23:27] <miceiken> Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.
[23:27] <miceiken> what can I do about this?
[23:27] <willpowers> What's the proper networking type for a libvirt VM so you can access it via SSH from the host?
[23:29] <kevin> jrib: alright, thanks for the help.
[23:30] <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
[23:35] <Jericho> #minerealms-chat
[23:40] <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.
[23:41] <willpowers> Loshki, how do you find out the IP of the guest VM when using bridged networking?
[23:42] <dourmo> salut
[23:42] <EriC^^> dourmo: bonsoir
[23:42] <dourmo> premiere fois que j'installe ce client irc
[23:42] <rom1504> lequel ?
[23:43] <dourmo> xchat
[23:43] <rom1504> ok
[23:43] <dourmo> il faut dire je debute linux
[23:43] <EriC^^> dourmo: c'est bien
[23:43] <dourmo> j'ai lancé irssi à partir de la console
[23:43] <dourmo> en fait je prefere la console
[23:43] <k1l> !fr
[23:43] <dourmo> pour les installations
[23:44] <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...
[23:45] <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?
[23:48] <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] <vxnuke> I have a new laptop and the touch pad does not work in ubuntu. Where would i go to to get help.
[23:50] <vxnuke> ...looks like no ones here................
