[00:14] yes [00:14] I don't use nautilus / gnome [00:14] Hi all, I have a mac pro (cylinder) running Ubuntu 14.04 and when I installed the ATI drivers from the "Additional Drivers" page I rebooted and X starts but it doesn't show X on the screen. I have "nomodeset" appended to my kernel boot options.

[00:25] googled but i haven't seen anything [00:27] hujo: hey man you there? [00:27] hujo: testdisk has failed to copy some files, its still copying tho [00:28] Hello guys, any channel to ask some questions about installation? [00:29] !ask [00:29] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:29] i'm having trouble with libGLU.so.1 [00:30] kokut, and with what error has it failed? [00:30] i think it hasn't created a symbolic link [00:30] thanks [00:30] konam: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ might be worth a shot [00:30] Hi there [00:31] hujo: its still copying the files... it just says so far 50k files have been copied ok, 15 failed, still copying.. [00:31] how do i figure out where I'm supposed to create a symbolic link? [00:32] I have Windows 7 installed and partition style is MBR. I have an unallocated partitions and when I try to install Ubuntu 14.04 is does not detect the partitions neither my Windows. It only deletecs /dev/sda. How can I get around this? [00:33] I have Ubuntu 14 in my pendrive, trying to install on my Toshiba Satellite. The HD is empty. Chose the first option on the instalator. Computer rebooted. Even with the right boot order asks me to install again and doesnt boot the OS. Run instalator again and tells me that Ubuntu is already installed. Went to the partition menu and can see it there occupying a good part of the HD. Tried over 10 times, same outcome. Any suggestion? [00:33] dimi: my copy reports the following (14.04) ls -al /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1 [00:33] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 1 14:19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3.1 [00:34] Noobuntu, change to boot order in your bios to favour the HDD over the pendrive [00:34] kokut, and you're sure your disk is healthy? [00:34] thanks, squinty [00:34] dimi: yw [00:35] hujo: yea, 100% sure, those files were deleted tho. Can i remove the live cd after booting? [00:35] kokut, not exactly sure what you mean? [00:36] badcom: you could use gparted to preset the new linux partitions before starting the installation. usually the installer partitioneer will pick up the new partition(s) then [00:36] anyway to disable landscape-common on su -. its giving me the system stats everytime i sudo su - [00:36] pryorda: dont do that. [00:36] pryorda: use sudo -i [00:36] hujo: im on the live cd at the moment but i would like to remove the cd and continue using ubuntu, is that possible? [00:37] badcom, does parted detect the partition when booting, say, a live cd? [00:37] squinty, I tried using gparted but it showed only 1 single unallocated partition [00:37] kokut, I'm afraid I don't know [00:38] hujo, gparted only shows my whole disk unallocated [00:38] hujo: okay dont worry [00:38] sudo -i? [00:38] hujo I guess it should show the partition where my Windows is installed? [00:39] badcom, I'd suggest you check the drive's health first - last time partition tables vanished on me the drive said goodbye a couple hours later [00:39] badcom: might be something applicable at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:39] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9824da16015255f0e44d [00:39] even sudo -i [00:39] badcom, unless of course the partition table was wiped accidentally [00:40] hujo: the LUKS approach seems to work pretty well, thanks for the tips [00:41] pryorda: my comment was not about the landscape stats. it was about your wrong use of su [00:42] does anyone know how to install a bootable usb stick with ubuntu image? I do not want to have a liveusb. [00:42] akurilin, you're welcome [00:42] Hey guys, how do i change the monitor that's the default fullscreen menu? i have 3 screens and when i full screen a game its always the left one. i want it in the center. this is easily done in windows but i cannot find the option for it on ubuntu 14.04 [00:43] I was not expecting to have so much trouble to have Windows/Ubuntu on my PC. It must be this UEFI thing... [00:43] badcom: what's the problem? [00:44] badcom, have you tried changing the boot order? [00:44] badcom, doubt that. my 2 office machines have asrock mobos with a uefi. they have both windows 7 and ubu. upon boot the grub shows and i can select which os to boot to [00:44] liuxg: two sticks or livedvd plus one stick. start normal installation but make sure the installer is pointing to the usb you want to install to. key points are the installer partitioner and where to install grub (ie /dev/sdb if stick is the only usb ) [00:44] is there a good game package for kids? specifically I have 7 and 10 y/o boys [00:45] Badcom, make sure you partition your drives properly and before installing windows. also dont use the windows utility to do the parts either [00:45] the problem is not with the boot. It's that Ubuntu won't detect my partitions i.e: the partition where Windows is installed [00:45] wont detect or wont mount? [00:45] hi [00:45] ....and some educational packages? [00:45] please check it my new video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCFCWjq4t7s [00:46] liuxg: if you want to use a full install usb stick on various machines, then using any (ie video) proprietary drivers is not recommended [00:46] trying to dabble in this field of art [00:46] k1l: meh... [00:46] sudo su - is no different the sudo -i [00:46] smacktalk, i know that roloblox is a education game for kids that teaches them how to program [00:46] badcom, hmm, alright what happens when you turn on the machine without the pendrive? [00:46] squinty, thanks for your reply. I did that . however, the installed usb stick cannot be bootable on another pc. If I chose the bootloader to the usb stick, it crashes my pc grub. I think it removes my previous grub installation. [00:46] Mightcould3, won't deletect. I mean, in the installation process it says that there's no other OS installed [00:46] pryorda: sure it is. its a difference in what env variables are called. on ubuntu please use sudo -i [00:46] hujo, it loads the Windows [00:47] EriC^^: hey man you there? [00:47] kokut: yeah, what's up? [00:47] I'm on my Windows right now [00:47] badcom, are you trying to install ubuntu or do you have it installed now? [00:48] Mightcould3, I'm trying to install Ubunto. I wanna have both Windows and Ubuntu [00:48] badcom: maybe os-prober can't find the windows .efi file [00:48] EriC^^: testdisk is taking a lot of time to copy the files, so far it has copied 110k files, but it says it failed to copy 51 of them, is there a way to tell which files failed to copy after if finishes? I don't think i enabled the create log file option [00:48] badcom: check what it's called in your efi partition or type efibootmgr -v and check it's name [00:48] squinty, if I take my installed ubuntu usb stick, my machine cannot even boot, and it boots to the grub command. I think it put the grub into the installed usb. [00:48] liuxg: it shouldn't alter any of the grub setup on your pc grub [00:48] sudo su - calls all root envs [00:48] sudo -i calls what different ones? [00:49] you should partition your drives before install, you'll need to run the live cd of your install, select the try option. use gparted to partition your drive and format the new part to ext4. then when you go to install select manual and select that new part (ext4) for install [00:49] badcom: modify /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft accordingly [00:49] hi [00:49] squinty, I tried a few times, and every time, it does crash my grub. I had to use grub-update to fix it. The installed usb is not bootable on another pc. === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [00:50] i can't figure out where it is i'm supposed to make the symbolic link. can someone figure out where it should go? http://pastebin.com/npn7q4SC [00:50] Ok, guys. Will check these options. Thanks! [00:51] dimi: use the "locate" command in a terminal locate libGLU.so.1 [00:51] anyone have any idea why i always have to boot my pc twice? every morning i press the power button, it comes on but black screen. then i turn it off, and turn it on again, then the grub shows. any ideas? [00:51] k1l: sudo su - just looks at .bashrc [00:52] sudo -i looks at .login .profile and bashrc [00:52] squinty, I know where it is, but where am I supposed to link it to? that's what i don't know how to figure out [00:53] well anyway imma go play warzone 2100. cheers! [00:53] kokut: no idea [00:53] squinty: it's where it's supposed to be, but i'm being told it's not there? [00:53] kokut: not sure if the files will copy with 0 byte size or what [00:53] squinty, have you tried this before? I just got stuck here. my grub got screwed up every time after the installation. [00:54] EriC^^: so far it copied 120k files, 62 failed [00:55] dimi: see if this helps http://paste.ubuntu.com/8892051/ [00:55] EriC^^: don't you think those are a it too many files? could it be copying something that was mounted or something? I cant believe i have so many files, all my ubuntu installation wasnt more than 20gb, i barely installed 10 programs and this is supposed to be my home folder .private only... [00:55] anyone know why this would be happening [00:55] is. its a difference in what env variables [00:56] bah [00:56] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9824da16015255f0e44d [00:56] EriC^^, good evening to you!

[01:00] EriC^^, oh, it is really very late for you. I think you may need to have good sleep.

[02:57] do you want the programs you still have running? [02:57] because no idea how to do that, but you can probably restart X [02:57] Yeah [02:57] cashnguns, either tap the hot key on the laptop to toggle the screens or change the input source on the tv [02:57] Thre's no such hotkey [02:58] oops, meant for squiff [02:58] you'd probably be better off going back to said screen and plugging it in again [02:58] but i doubt that'll work [02:58] That would work [02:58] But it's at home [02:58] And I'm at work [02:58] I could restart and that would fix it too [02:59] But I don't want to lose what I had open [02:59] I've had X freeze up on a different machine before and I just ssh'd to it and restarted x [03:00] What's the command for that? [03:00] And will restarting x close all my windows? [03:00] yes [03:01] yeah it'll kill the programs so that might be a deal breaker [03:01] I did it the other day just to keep from having to hard-boot the system.

[03:15] i mean the cluster not the apache server side includes. [03:15] evening all - I'm having some terrible boot times and curious what's going on - I've installed bootchart but I can't make sense of the results [03:16] jmadero1, Have you tried a text boot to see whats going on? [03:16] ubuntu español? [03:16] have not - not even sure how to do it, any wiki or anything [03:16] to be fair - I have several DE's installed [03:16] !text | jmadero1 [03:16] jmadero1: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:17] and I'm thinking it might be related to my nfs mounts [03:17] jmadero1, Hitting the esc key right after grub does the same. [03:17] fender: ubuntu-es? [03:17] ;) [03:17] yes gracias [03:18] and what would I be looking for during text boot? [03:18] jmadero1, If it is sitting on something you should see it. [03:19] all right - will try it, thanks [03:19] this is where I would start anyway [03:19] it's crazy how complicated the bootchart graph is [03:19] it's a bit unusable ;) [03:20] ok guys, one question: a single server image is like a cluster which appears as one single system right? then i should be able to combine all my systems that i have (all are ubuntu-14.04 amd64) so they should improve the speed. [03:20] second question is if it's worth me fresh installing to 14.10 or if the changes are so minor that I might as well stick on .04 [03:21] 14.04 is LTS, that's reason enough to stay put [03:21] jmadero1: afaik long support is just for 14.04 so you better stick with that. [03:21] jmadero1, 14.04 has 5 years support, 14.10 does not. [03:21] I don't care about support ;) [03:21] just wondering about performance gains and the like [03:21] I run pre-release software all the time ;) [03:21] list [03:21] jmadero1: new software has more bugs...

[03:23] ptt: / j #chile (no space between the / and the j) [03:23] daftykins: awesome thanks [03:23] thanks! [03:23] that's what I gleaned from blogs and the like [03:25] is there any channel i might have more success with single server images because without offending you there might be more people knowing about the stuff. where could i start? [03:26] veryhappy: #linux maybe [03:26] be prepared for some ....aggressive personalities ;) [03:26] jmadero1: thank you [03:26] veryhappy: including some laughter that you're using Ubuntu ;) that is not abnormal [03:26] jmadero1: why aggressive personalities? [03:26] many of them are on Arch or some similar distro [03:26] not all ;) but I've had some....interesting conversations over there [03:27] what's in trusty-proposed? can it mess up my system [03:27] jmadero1: tried arch few times... no one has time to enter every single command to get the system running :D [03:27] ...you'd be surprised at their reaction to that (lol) [03:27] but they are all quite nice [03:27] and knowledgeable [03:27] ubuntuaddicted, I believe proposed is only open during development. [03:27] jmadero1: i try my luck [03:27] thanks [03:28] is it possible to hide partitions in nautilus from showing up. i dont care about stupid windows partition to be mounted or not, or recovery partition [03:29] so would you recommend enabling pre-released updates? [03:29] ubuntuaddicted, It is addressed in this wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu easily found. [03:29] azizLIGHT, try to right click on it, can you hide it? in dolphin you can [03:30] bubbasaures, thanks [03:30] ubuntuaddicted, I recommend you do the voodoo that make you do the hulu. === ian is now known as Guest81952 [03:32] ubuntuaddicted: nope i cant [03:32] not even on nemo [03:33] ok, so... I'm installing Ubuntu from a flash drive, and I get to the step where I can connect to wifi, all's normal. I select my wifi network and the WPA password is already memorised... While installing... How? [03:33] (After thinking of it, I hypothesised that the first time I installed Ubuntu, it stored the password on the flash drive. Would that be correct?) [03:35] depends if your flash drive is a persistent install [03:35] hello? [03:36] daftykins meaning? [03:37] I have (I think) Wubi? Either that or whichever the install on the Ubuntu Canonical site, and using a USB installer they recommend [03:37] one that saves settings. [03:37] no WUBI is where you install from within Windows [03:37] and don't ever touch that, it's terrible [03:38] Hey guys, I have a weird issue. When I press the volume up/down/mute on my keyboard sometimes the action is delayed by a few seconds === redonk is now known as flair [03:42] I saw that file on the flash drive, but ok. [03:42] RB2_ is it possible that it's just your computer freezing/being slow? [03:43] daftykins, I don't know, I already added a ppa for it but made no effect. I am tired of searchng it over and over, I did not remove it myself. [03:44] Schumi23, Nah I'm pretty sure it's a bug somewhere. It was fine in Ubuntu 14.04 (I'm on 14.10 right now) [03:44] I can see that the media keys are being registered (using xev) [03:44] daftykins, http://dpaste.com/25RYC7Q.txt <-- I don't understand 90% of this stuff. [03:44] Svetlana: maybe it's stuck with the name of an older release, if you upgraded ever [03:44] but I'm not sure why it takes a few secs to adjust the volume/mute [03:45] daftykins, I did upgrade quite a few, just pasted the sources.list for you. [03:46] Svetlana: i see most are disabled, the ubuntu-mozilla-daily at the very end says it was disabled during the upgrade to trusty too. [03:46] but did I not uncomment it? [03:46] Svetlana: you might need to click the settings cog on the left, go to software and sources then check it's enabled [03:46] Svetlana: it looks enabled, did you run an "apt-get update" prior to searching for seamonkey again though? [03:47] I uninstalled the software-center so it would be nice if we came up with advice without using that gui. yes I did. === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [03:50] Svetlana: er, why? [03:50] I don't like it. [03:51] EriC^^: hey man you there? testdisk finished copying the files [03:52] Svetlana: ok well that was just a confirmation. i don't even know if that PPA is the one seamonkey is meant to be in, that'll be job #1 for you to confirm [03:52] EriC^^: somehow it copied more than 460k files [03:53] daftykins, it is not. [03:53] Where is the PPA I already spent time searching a few months ago? Do I have to search it again? [03:54] Svetlana: sadly my database of your personal history is severely lacking [03:54] is there a gaming version of ubuntu? [03:56] There's steam for ubuntu, if that's what you're after.

[04:45] gr0undhog: not quite sure what makes this an ubuntu support query vs. an ISP support query? [04:46] :daftykins Hi, well I was hoping for some edit-something-in-/etc-folder comment, - in Ubuntu ... [04:46] right, for doing what? :) [04:46] gr0undhog: did you just say you pooched your ubuntu install and have a problem configuring an application ? thats how i read it [04:47] 'installed the domain name' doesn't make much sense i'm afraid [04:47] hi [04:48] daftykins: it looks like he screwed up his install and is tring to join it to a domain, so sounds like there is some aditional info missing [04:48] Clarification: Ubuntu installed and running well. Dump old SP and join Plusnet. They assist well, but on checking e-mails figure something's wrong and check - no domain name set. [04:48] What's a Plusnet? [04:48] SP [04:49] Service Provider [04:49] whoever: nope [04:49] gr0undhog: oh you need help setting your pop or imap server setting s [04:49] is that correct [04:49] Hola [04:49] martin__: holll a [04:50] whoever: If you say so ... ? [04:50] gr0undhog: you're still being about as vague as it gets. are you saying you're having trouble checking email? [04:50] Cómo va ? [04:50] what 'domain name' do you refer to? [04:50] gr0undhog: ok, so is your problem that you cannot getto/read your email [04:51] martin__: english please [04:51] w [04:51] oops [04:51] gr0undhog: who is you sp [04:52] Phew, I'm thinking I'm talking to my old SP now. I THINK the absence of the SP's domain name is stopping the receipt of e-mails. SP is Plusnet [04:52] My gmail congtinues OK. [04:53] gr0undhog:http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/settings.shtml [04:54] gr0undhog: It's probably not, though your mail user agent is probably misconfigured. [04:54] If I install Debian again it'll ask for the domain name in its installation dialogue. [04:55] gr0undhog: that link i posted gives your servers at the top of the page [04:55] whoever: whilst i'm as lost as you, i know you're totally on the wrong track with this one [04:55] gr0undhog: delete it and start over [04:56] gr0undhog: you think you need an FQDN entered for your system's hostname? [04:56] Ok, is there something on the standard ubuntu install that would be turning off the monitor after 4-5 minutes that isn't xscreen-saver? [04:56] gr0undhog: you don't seem to be able to phrase your query well enough to make sense i'm afraid. [04:56] daftykins: i don't think he even knows what he needs [04:57] whoever: yeah well spotted, it's definitely not email though ;) [04:57] lol yep [04:57] daftykins: maybe its his AD :-) [04:57] no it most definitely isn't [04:58] hey how can i know why ubuntu does not loading i try to you use previous version and it does not help i think it is something with video things [04:58] ID10T error << gr0undhog [04:59] OKeydokey - well I'm an octogenarian old fart so normality rules. But you have given me some ideas, so thank you all. I'll persevere. [04:59] IPSvb: what happens when you try to recover [04:59] !nomodeset | IPSvb [04:59] IPSvb: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:59] might be helpful [04:59] hi all - another issue, my computer is hard turning off when battery dies instead of going into standby at low battery - any suggestions? [05:00] jmadero1: Are you saying it doesn't hibernate? [05:00] ball: yes - it literally goes to 0% and hard shuts down [05:00] If the battery's low you probably don't want it to sleep. [05:00] let me check [05:00] obviously not good on the drive ;) [05:00] ...but to suspend to disk. [05:00] jmadero1: power options [05:00] whoever: is that DE dependent? [05:00] ok seriously [05:00] I'm running Cinnamon [05:00] What screen saver is doing this to me? [05:00] jmadero1: no [05:01] whoever: it says "Hibernate" for "when battery power is critically low" [05:01] ah crap - but it's grayed out .... [05:01] so power off is my only real option [05:01] jmadero1: the laptop does not care what DE/wm your running all it knows is the amount of charge it has [05:02] apparently I can't hibernate [05:02] and it doesn't have suspend as an option [05:02] jmadero1: Do you have your disk configured properly for hibernation? [05:02] s/configured/partitioned/ [05:02] jmadero1: are you sure that power profile is the only profile that you have [05:02] seems like I don't ;) I never hibernate [05:02] whoever: sure....no, but I think so [05:02] buu, You probably have X configured for screen saving. Which is normal. Read about the 'xset' command. [05:03] jmadero1: just making sure there isn't a profile overriding another [05:03] whoever: pretty much just a normal install - I haven't messed with power settings at all [05:03] rwp: I'll try it [05:03] but I suppose a controlled shutdown is better than where I'm at now [05:03] so I'll set it to that [05:03] jmadero1: i also assuae you have laptop-tools package installed [05:04] Hrm, nope, thats not it [05:04] whoever: laptop-mode-tools? [05:04] jmadero1: that would be it [05:04] rwp: I just tried manually using xset s activate and its just displaying a blank screen not killing the output [05:05] oh dpms [05:05] hello. I'm using 14.04 LTS. Is it possible to get virtualbox-guest* 4.3.18? [05:05] jmadero1: also if when you try to power off and it restarts there is a script for that [05:05] 4.3.10 is installed right now, but sometimes reziding the window doesn't play nicely [05:06] . [05:07] .. [05:07] ... [05:08] jmadero1: hows it goin over there [05:09] whoever: not sure if I need laptop-mode-tools === irctestuser is now known as testuser [05:17] when i normally load ubuntu it says "the system is running in low-graphics mode " press ok "run in low-graphics mode " ok "stand by one minute while the dispay restarts " ok now there is a comand line and last line is " starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation " nothing more if i try to press ctrl+alt+ f2 or another screen there is a login offer but when i type sudo or my login it does not recognise it and ask me a password it just again ask l [05:17] ogin [05:27] Laptop isn't going above 1200mhz, full speed is 2500 [05:27] But sometimes it does [05:27] after reboot [05:32] Hello is there where I ask questions for help?

[05:38] i try to fix my system by upgrade it . but the installer only offers to me reinstall the system and upgrade (fix) old version does not available to use why that? [05:40] IPSvb, fix/upgrade has never been offered on the ubuntu intallation menu. upgrade or install? yes. [05:40] yes [05:41] IPSvb, so: install [05:42] but i will loose all my files and programs [05:44] IPSvb, false. save your data in a /home. do not format /home.

[05:59] Quixx: It says nvidia gfx only. [05:59] I think OBS works on linux [05:59] Run windows in a VM [06:00] Quixx: I'm not playing minesweeper. [06:00] I think I accidentally deleted my windows partition.... [06:00] Oh, are you actually playing a game inside linux? [06:00] Probably fucked [06:01] Quixx, no profanity. you know this.

[06:01] Realistically, all the documentation I've found points to FFMPEG being capable, but I can't find it, avconv, or any other related video authoring software. [06:01] Oh [06:01] eronides: Not possible yet. [06:01] I was able to get netflix working but the quality is very poor... [06:02] eronides: There's an unofficial method using chrome beta and a user agent switcher. [06:02] Can VLC do RTMP streaming? [06:02] Rallias, I know, thanks! [06:03] I apologize but I am not sure what you are talking about. I was able to get it working on firefox by downloading something (I forgot what it was) [06:03] So again, how do I find out what clock speed my IGP (GMA x3100) is running [06:03] I believe it's being run below maximum clocks [06:03] DeMO: In theory, you can use wine, but it's awful compared to the native-ish streaming chrome would provide. [06:04] I would send a link to the site where I found the repository but I have long sense lost it.... [06:04] since means sense in that context [06:04] I mean.... sense means since [06:05] <|m0nk> the ttf-msfonts-installer doesnt work [06:05] netflix, just use chrome & html5, no need for a newer nss package afaik [06:05] |m0nk, esc key [06:06] Well, I am weird and I would rather install the package so I can try to decipher it at a later date. [06:06] <|m0nk> what does that do? [06:06] ? [06:06] <|m0nk> esc key [06:06] |m0nk, I assumed you were not able to give the yes install, that is the key you hit. [06:07] <|m0nk> at first. i did sudo apt-get install upgrade [06:07] <|m0nk> then i did apt-get isntall [06:07] |m0nk, if you cannot accept the UELA of the ttf-package, use tab and space [06:07] <|m0nk> i did. and it didnt work [06:07] |m0nk, nope. there is no apt-get install upgrade [06:07] <|m0nk> y there is [06:07] OerHeks, Thanks, I do it automatically, my mistake. [06:07] |m0nk, nope. apt-get upgrade yes.

Can do netflix . [06:09] * DeMO confused === haha is now known as Guest14884 [06:10] name a [06:10] <|m0nk> then i used terminal to manually install them. then i manually tried to configure the msfonts. so i never got the actual agree or cancel buttons. there were only 2 screens that had ok as only option. 1 if i already had them i could type them in a box. 2nd if i knew any alternate download locations [06:10] <|m0nk> 1 = the msfonts [06:10] Does this channel have a anti-spam plugin? [06:11] * DeMO Notices awkward silence.... [06:11] DeMO, I have the pm off and am registered, both have there use. [06:11] <|m0nk> then i found out i wanted to redo all that. so i uninstalled the fonts that was already downloaded. then apt-get upgrade again and apt-get install but then there were no files in that folder for the msfonts [06:12] |m0nk, those fonts take a bit of time to download. patience. [06:12] Oh, well I was just looking at the documentation for Kiwi IRC so I was wondering if a plugin was being used. [06:12] <|m0nk> i tried this yesterday. [06:13] DeMO, anti spam plugin is useless, if it filters any url [06:13] <|m0nk> i stopped when i saw that the msfonts didnt download the second time [06:13] Well, depends... I don't know enough of the community that uses Kiwi IRC or the documentation of Kiwi. [06:13] |m0nk, let it run, it can look for different mirrors [06:14] <|m0nk> it just quits [06:14] <|m0nk> only thing i can do is press ok. [06:14] anyways off subject since we are suppose to talk about Ubuntu. [06:15] So what was |monk 's problem? [06:16] * DeMO runs to desktop to check kubuntu's installation progress is [06:17] <|m0nk> it started with ubuntu telling me that it couldnt download some stuff so it told me i had to do it manually. i skipped a beat and went for apt-get upgrade then apt-get install then i read about the last packages msfonts couldnt be installed and had to be manually configured. so i wrote what it told me to and i got nowhere. [06:19] Is there a safer way of exiting the installation process of kubuntu instead of manually turning it off === Gamable is now known as KatherineA [06:19] Because I think there is an issue and the installation is frozen [06:20] DeMO, does caps lock still work ? [06:20] Let me check [06:20] (light) [06:21] Yes [06:21] the caps lock still works [06:21] I guess it is oke, let it run [06:21] its been sitting here for an hour on the User Info step [06:21] DeMO: so [06:22] * DeMO confused [06:22] .. that sounds not oke [06:22] Yes' [06:22] I had a similar problem with opensuse [06:23] whats the difference, graphics wise, between ubuntu and xubuntu [06:24] Finetundra_: a lot [06:24] More of a windows 7 desktop interface if memory serves.... [06:24] Well then I am wrong.... [06:25] Should I stop the install and grab my ubuntu disk or should I just let it sit over night [06:25] mydopey, non aesthetically [06:25] * DeMO waits intently for a response [06:27] DeMO I wonder if f2 would bring you to a point that you could at least see what it's trying to do [06:28] I will take a picture of my screen [06:28] DeMO it should only take about 14 minutes to install total so i it takes more than 30 min than might be best to abort [06:29] sacarlson1: minutes? [06:29] DeMO I think if you choose to get online update it might get stuck. so sometimes just to speed things I chose not to update and not hook up networks === winston is now known as Guest57813 [06:30] nvm the quality of the picture is low. But anyways, I think your are correct [06:30] sacarlson1: You so smart [06:30] I am at a command prompt [06:30] kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ [06:31] I will look for a command to bypass the online update if that is possible [06:32] default xubuntu when i try to choose a different desktop background, .png and .jpg are greyed out. what's gives? [06:33] DeMO it might also be some graphic problem it gets stuck on [06:34] ubuntuaddicted: wrong folders [06:34] I was able to get end it using crt+alt+delete [06:35] so I am gong to try to install it again without the online updates [06:35] desktop settings manager. Folder: is currently set to backdrops but i can't choose a new folder which contains .jpg and .png. can anyone help? [06:36] I'm sorry but I know more about windows 7 than I do about ubuntu [06:37] A folder is set to backdrops? [06:37] i figured it out, i misunderstood. i needed to select a folder whereas i thought i was chosing an image [06:39] when installing ubuntu to usb stick, I always see a swap from my local harddisk [06:40] is there anyway not to get the swap for my hard disk? I have created a very small swap 500M on the usb to do it. [06:40] I think I fixed my partitioning problem for my flash drives [06:42] liuxg, stab is where you would add the usb swap in place of the HD's. [06:42] fstab* [06:42] Two totally different problems that I mentioned lol [06:42] Partitioning and Installation errors [06:43] bubbasaures, I am now using one usb still (bootable liveusb) to install another USB disk [06:44] bubbasaures, i have chosen the "something else" to manually install the ubuntu OS. [06:45] liuxg, Hmm, not sure I have your issue understood, I have to take off shortly as well, so others may be better help. [06:45] Ok, it is installing properly now... so it was networking issues... [06:45] bubbasaures, during the installation, it always takes the HD swap during the installation process. thanks for your kind help. [06:46] * DeMO waits for installation process to end so he can check on his windows os [06:46] bubbasaures, I want to install a 16G USB as a ubuntu bootable disk for development. I need to install our phone SDK into the image. I am using another liveusb to install an image to the USB. [06:47] liuxg, sdk goes in the ubuntu right? You are just trying to make sure the install usb has the swap? === l2ksolkov is now known as SpydayO07 [06:47] * DeMO gets yelled at [06:48] liuxg: at the size of your swap partition it seems pointless to even have it. you can run without a swap also [06:49] I was scared for a moment because I thought the install bugged out because the process bar was glitching for a moment... [06:49] liuxg: I guess it won't break anything having it so don't let me stop you === SpydayO07 is now known as l2ksolkov [06:49] bubbasaures, yes, the SDK goes in the ubuntu. Previously, I made a usb stick in such a way without any swap in the USB driver, and it takes my HD swap (which has a ubuntu OS there). Finally, my grub crashes, and my pc boots to the grub command, and USB is not bootable as well. [06:50] -_- 1688 users... [06:50] wow [06:50] sacarlson1, thanks for your reply. yes, I failed, so, I am now trying to have one in the disk. [06:50] liuxg: wow then maybe the 500m swap is a good idea [06:50] liuxg, Ah, well gotta go, looks like others are noticing you. [06:51] bubbasaures, thanks for your help. Have a good day! [06:51] sacarlson1, without a swap, it seemed to me that I got something broken. I am now trying to have 500M swap. Still, during the installation, it shows me two swaps (another one is from the HD as well). [06:52] liuxg: also usb flash drives have limited number of write cycle life so prefer not to setup things on it to write often [06:53] sacarlson1, this is more for the univ training program since a lot of student may not have the ubuntu OS on the laptop. We are thinking of using USB as a starting point. [06:54] liuxg: ya sounds fine. should work no problem [06:55] sacarlson1, I have tried a few times with no success. I have got the bootloader pointing to /dev/sdb (my usb). Hopefully, this time, it will not crash my system again. [06:56] liuxg: you might have some problems with some bios to setup boot order of usb first as some don't seem to detect usb until later [06:57] liuxg: you might find it better to just create a modified casper boot disk with the added apps you need [06:57] sacarlson1, I have booted one of my usb as a liveusb, and I use it to install another usb which will have the system [06:58] is there a fundamental difference between how ubuntu and xubuntu handle graphics? [06:58] sacarlson1, I do not know how to make it. the SDK is pretty big (quite a few Giga) [06:59] liuxg: I also have some system that to boot usb I had to create a plop cd boot disk that would then boot the usb [06:59] liuxg: you can make a modified casper iso any size as long as it fits your usb [07:00] sacarlson1, oh, sounds a good solution to it. I am now trying the current solution and see how it goes. [07:01] how to set maximize, restore and minimize window keybindings? [07:01] liuxg: ya your solution might work 70% - 100% depending on the bios types your students end up having. [07:01] absk007, what DE are you in? [07:01] Finetundra_, Unity [07:02] sacarlson1, you are right. some of the support uefi, and some of them may not. it is a problem for sure. [07:02] how to set Terminator as my default terminal to open when i press CTRL + ALT + T ? Now when i press it, it opens the Terminator in root mode [07:04] absk007, there should be an entry in system settings about keyboard shortcuts.

[07:07] oh [07:09] Finetundra_, everything fine now [07:12] any good ISO or CD/DVD image editor? [07:14] how to ensure all partitions are mounted at startup? [07:15] liuxg: if your present method fails you might look at some of these methods I was speaking of http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/create-a-customized-ubuntu-based-distro-using-ubuntu-builder/ [07:16] is there a fundamental difference between how ubuntu and xubuntu handle graphics? [07:16] whats a good socks proxy server package in the ubuntu repositories? [07:16] Finetundra, nope [07:16] liuxg: note I haven't really tried this builder, I forget what I used in the past [07:17] dw1: I think openssh-server can do that. [07:17] Finetundra well I'm not sure xubuntu uses compiz [07:17] Finetundra but the bottem end grafic drivers I would assume would be the same [07:18] cybrhuman: if I run ssh -D 1080 localhost it asks root pass :( [07:18] sacarlson1, reason i ask is that it seems like i experience almost no crashes while gaming in xubuntu but trying to do anything in ubuntu is a nightmare [07:19] dw1: are you using a root terminal? [07:19] cybrhuman: yea [07:19] Hi, is there any alternative package of gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0_1.32.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb for xbuntu, i cant find this package in synaptic package manager or by aptget [07:19] dw1: that would be the reason it asks for root password. [07:20] dw1: I think when I used it I didn't need to be root to make it work [07:20] cybrhuman: if i want the proxy running all the time i dont want to enter the pass. [07:20] cybrhuman: maybe add root public key as authorized key to itself.. :/ [07:20] dw1: why do you need to do this as root? [07:21] cybrhuman: its the same with a user acct [07:21] cybrhuman: I'm not sure what you attach to when pointing to port 1080, reverse ssh from local address? [07:23] i also download this 'gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0_1.32.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb' package but its dependency is not present on xbuntu [07:23] dw1: I am a bit rusty on socks, but I have used it to surf from remote machines, and I never had to be root.

[07:25] * dw1 tries redsocks [07:25] cybrhuman, it wont work. i tried [07:25] dw1: you usually never have to be root to use ports above 1024 I think, 1080>1024. you are just using socks to tunnel I think. [07:26] zero_coder: what? did you uninstall unity? [07:26] Finetundra_, i will try that [07:26] cybrhuman, nope i didnt. but after installing kde , i cant boot into other DE's [07:26] cybrhuman: good to know, but the need to authenticate to set up the server is weird/dumb to me [07:26] cybrhuman, but ofcourse its shown in the session manager [07:27] dw1: the server is already running, openssh-server is configured to run if installed as default. [07:27] zero_coder: what happens when you select unity or ubuntu-session and log in? [07:28] cybrhuman, only the background loads nothings else [07:28] cybrhuman: to make it easy there is a package to setup reverse ssh bettween two systems with backdoor https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor [07:29] hello, is there any solution for my problem?

[07:39] cybrhuman, nope [07:40] dw1 it's easy with backdoor it's a package to setup reverse ssh bettween two systems https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor it sets up password less and sets up keysync for you [07:40] cybrhuman, i am sorry, it was there. i removed it now [07:40] cybrhuman, thanks :) [07:42] anyone familiar with apcupsd?

'sudo hcitool cc [address] ; sudo hcitool auth [address]' returns 'HCI authentication request failed: Input/output error' [07:47] thurstylark: for some devices like my bluetooth speakers I've had to push the reset botton to get them released from the last device they were bond to [07:48] cybrhuman: yea that does it but was hoping for some dedicated server process [07:48] e === hawk_ is now known as Guest39721 [07:48] sacarlson1: so, clearing the memory so to speak... [07:49] thurstylark: it clear the bind it had with my android phone so my computer could use it [07:49] dw1: you can fire and forget that command I think, and having it run at login. [07:49] yea, and its secure [07:50] sacarlson1: well, this is when the device in question is in discoverable mode, so it's not looking for a specific device to connect to, just any device to connect to. [07:50] dw1: backdoor has the option to auto start at boot [07:52] thurstylark: oh so maybe it's like some of my other devices that I just didn't get to work or only work sometimes with my ubuntu [07:56] dw1: but yes, I see the issue with having to restart that process from time to time. [07:56] cybrhuman: i just figured there was a server package that would make it more 'normal' server-client [07:57] now I just wish I could specify the outward-facing IP :/ [07:57] like squids tcp_outgoing_address option [07:59] dw1: squid is not suitable for this? [08:00] Where is the ap-hotspot package? [08:00] dw1: also out of curiosity, what package? [08:00] i went with the ssh client-side method for now [08:01] dw1: you sure you shouldn't just set up vpn? [08:01] i was hoping to bypass some geo-restricted site, and thought squid's anonymizing wasnt working, but i think the site actually blocked my dedicated server provider, so switching to socks doesn't seem to be helping anyway/either :) [08:02] Dan Akroyd [08:03] Is ubunty still using the Gsiffy framework? [08:03] dw1: or your browser is infested with cookies :P [08:04] cybrhuman: good call, but sadly no [08:06] Is it possible to set up sudo in such a way that it will be possible to restrict parameters which can be passed to a command? [08:06] Michael_: command? [08:06] Michael_: It has nothing to do with sudo [08:07] Michael_ you could setup so that only a certain set of scripts are allowed that have preset params of some commands [08:08] Michael_: The sudoers file is the extent of what sudo does. [08:08] Michael_ and yes you could also write custom scripts that are allowd by sudo that would also filter params entered [08:08] Michael_: yes, you can add things like this: username ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tee /sys/class/leds/asus\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness [08:09] I'll experiment with this. [08:09] Michael_: you know how to edit sudoers? [08:10] !visudo [08:10] cybrhuman: yes, I know about it. Checks syntax. [08:11] Michael_: good, just because it is a bit pain to fix if you screw up in there :) [08:11] the bot doesn't know visudo? [08:13] cybrhuman: generally, I have already learned that it's safe to have at least two consoles if you're doing things like that. For editing sudo we're lucky to have visudo, but not every file can be handled by such a tool. [08:14] how to mount all partitions at startup? [08:14] absk007: modify fstab [08:15] sacarlson1, i don't exactly know how to [08:15] Michael_: no, but most files aren't as important as visudo [08:15] how to customize grub? [08:16] absk007: might start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab [08:16] absk007: customize how? [08:16] cybrhuman, change background and menu colors [08:17] absk007: there was a cool gui app to make some simple mods of grub like grubcustomizer or something like that [08:17] absk007: depends on what exactly you want to do. Take a look at /etc/default/grub, /etc/grub.d/ [08:17] absk007: then remember to run update-grub [08:17] Michael_ I would just edit the sourcecode. [08:18] j4s0nmchr1st0s: why? [08:18] Hi, i have installed ubuntu on my mother computer, but actualy i want to know somethng, she like using the touch screen in windows (for move in the navigator (internet explorer)) but in ubuntu when you use the touche screen on a navigator you "can't" move the page, it directly start selecting the text. Is there an option in ubuntu for set that ? Set what to do when you hold pressing the touche screen ? [08:19] Try moving things with the title bar. [08:19] Michael_ this is a case where having the sourcecode is an advantage. [08:20] i am speaking in FIREFOX how to move the page with touch screen without touching the scrolls bars [08:20] in windows you have just to put your finger in the page and move [08:20] j4s0nmchr1st0s: sure, but I'm wondering why you want to go that if you have already most of things you are likely to want to modify in configuration files. Your choice, anyway. [08:21] OH [08:21] use two fingers [08:21] ? [08:21] Michael_ the top is spinning [08:21] hold the left one still, and drag the right. [08:22] Michael_ everytime I open the laptop [08:23] cyber37: on my computer I seem to need an addon to enable swipe scrolling for my touchscreen [08:23] I care about you enough not to let you become a nihilist [08:24] what is the adon you need ? [08:24] please [08:24] where of how can tel my how to partion a pc with ssd 128 gb and a 1TB [08:24] hi there [08:24] Boot, root, and swap on the ssd [08:24] If you reach the Ancient of Days before the top stops spinning it never has to stop spinning [08:24] cyber37: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/grab-and-drag/ installed it 2 minutes ago to test it [08:24] maybe it will work, thanks i try it [08:24] Home on the 1tb. At least, that's how I'd do it. [08:25] basil1x why swap on ssd [08:25] The speed of the ssd is superior [08:25] Glda19: because it speeds up hibernation. [08:25] and all swapping. [08:26] What will you become Michael_ [08:26] THANKS it works cybr [08:26] cyber37: ^^ [08:28] cybrhuman and basil1x yesterday the told me this ssd / onb the 1TB /tmp 1GB /var 20gb swap 2gb /home rest [08:29] does we know what files to configure for encrypted home directories.. like how to enable or disable after a reboot [08:29] You can do it that way, sure. But why bother with a separate var? === yan is now known as a0726h77 [08:29] cybrhuman: your example not exactly works [08:29] Nobody needs a 128GB root [08:30] You will **NEVER** fill that. [08:30] basil1x: log files eating up / is no fun, but not often that useful [08:30] That's what bleachbitch is for, cyber37 === a0726h77 is now known as yan [08:30] cybrhuman, [08:30] grrr... tabfail [08:31] how than make the partions [08:31] newdistro: you might find the package cryptkeeper as a nice gui tool to create and mount crypted diretory that you can then later move places [08:31] Turn off the LVM first thing. It's annoying, and unnecessary. [08:31] Glda19: the graphical installer have a wizard for it I think [08:31] thats what im talking about thank you [08:31] Do you see what I see Michael_ ? [08:32] basil1x: lvm is awesome, and cool, if you are a poweruser :P [08:32] Then you can either let the magic partition elf create them its' way, or do it yourself. [08:32] cybrhuman that is not what i mean [08:32] where does software-properties-gtk, update tab store its configuration, which file ? [08:33] LVM is only cool if you never have issues. Playing with a failing HDD with LVM is not any fun at all. [08:33] j4s0nmchr1st0s: what are you talking about? [08:33] follow the advice from basil1x, it seems sound. [08:33] The question is how to set up the partions what partion on what drive and the sise off it [08:34] anyone know of free virtual servers so i can run cod4 from? [08:34] basil1x, in some scenarios LVM can save ur ass tho [08:35] My method: /boot = 500mb | / = 50GB | /swap = installed memory or 2GB, whichever is greater | /home = whatever you like. [08:36] Home can be the whole of the 1TB drive that way. [08:36] newdistro: you mean free remote virtual servers? I'm not sure what cod4 is so don't know what it needs. you can get free php mysql apache servers [08:36] call of duty [08:36] I always split off /var from / [08:36] cus of logs [08:37] That also leaves you with a sizable chunk of SSD if you want to put /var there instead. [08:37] The first thing you need is to comprehend self-evident. Michael_ [08:37] Footy: but most users don't really need that, so I say keep it simple. [08:37] cod4 call of duty 4 theres a linux server binary for the game but you need 1gig of space to upload the maps [08:37] cybrhuman: guess it depends if your running as a desktop or server [08:37] j4s0nmchr1st0s: OK. Everything's going well at your place? [08:38] newdistro: as far as I know if it's not php code it won't be free and even the free php servers suck [08:38] Michael_: All is well. Do you want to help setup the bridge between you and I? === Malsasa- is now known as Malsasa [08:39] basil1x so installed memory is 8G so 8gb swap [08:40] Footy: of course, but that is more in poweruserland, and does not seem relevant for the current question. [08:40] Yup. More is wasteful. [08:40] theres a few twoonie hosting servers what i am really hoping is that dedicated gaming returns on call of duty advenced warfare [08:40] Unless you;re gonna up the total to 16GB soon. [08:41] j4s0nmchr1st0s: not necessarily. Why do you ask? [08:41] basil1x but i read that tmp /var/swap/home is on the hdd on may websites [08:42] you can have a separate /tmp, but I've never once done so. [08:42] It seems an excess of partitions to me. [08:43] Michael_: I am trying to choose something to forward the domain to my laptop it will help you locate my machine. [08:44] basil1x therefore only the root ond ssd the rest on the hdd [08:44] Michael_ I am going to search through my notes putting them on real paper helps to preserve them in the event of aeon flux. [08:45] Ummm... you can do it any way you like, but that sounds backwards to me. Only /home on the HDD. rest on the SSD. [08:45] There is a dynamic dns provider used before. [08:45] basil1x: personally I would have /home on the ssd and mount the hdd as ~/, because that way all config files should be quick to load and all the large files go to HDD, but not sure how to walk people through that. [08:45] OK [08:46] You go through it with him. [08:47] how have installed linux on a desktop with a ssd + hdd and how partion and witch partion on witch drive [08:47] I keep all my big files on externals, so my main HDD is mostly empty anyway. [08:47] basil1x: I don't think I can explain it in a good way, so I feel your solution is a good compromise. [08:48] Right. [08:48] Let's talk him through then. ;) [08:48] Start with /boot [08:48] It goes on the SSD, and is 500MB [08:49] then /swap, on the SSD at 8GB [08:49] then / (root) on the SSD at 50GB [08:51] then /var on the SSD, if you wish it separate, at whatever size cybrhuman recommends [08:51] that is a huge waste of time [08:51] Then /home on the HDD at 1TB [08:51] and uneeded in several places [08:51] They stole some of my passwords Michael_ [08:51] (it'll be 993.something actually) [08:52] bubbasaures what is a wast of time [08:53] * basil1x gives up. Too many cooks. [08:53] basil1x why not put the var on hdd [08:53] Put it where you please. [08:53] Glda19: you want it on SSD because of its usage pattern [08:54] It's your system. The entire point of linux is to have your OS your way. [08:54] Glda19, Not sure why you have not just installed it's been 24 hrs, however that description is faulty and stupid advise for someone not even able to install themselves. [08:55] bubbasaures there is something els in live the only linux [08:56] bubbasaures and i whant a good partioned system [08:56] Michael_: you must know that every word has possibly 2 or more definitions [08:57] Glda19, Just install it on the SSD and use the other for storage...etc. You need to get your feet wet. [08:57] once opon a time there was a big hdd disk and small fast ssd disk. the momy bare said lets put / root and /boot on the fast sdd and the rest like /var /home /swap on the slower big hdd. The baby bare said ok. The End ha ha just kiding [08:58] Glda19, You are over thinking this, you have to get your hands on it to learn. [08:58] Oh, lau. We're cathcing flak from someone who doesn't know the difference between 'bare' and 'bear'? I think NOT. [08:59] Glda19: for most of it you can later move the locations with symbolic links when needed [09:00] * basil1x actually agrees with bubbasaures about this. [09:00] There is in the end an imposter. [09:00] basil1x: thanks for my splling checker [09:00] You need a better one, hon. it's m,issing letters as well. [09:00] -, [09:00] Michael_: Have you seen Lawnmower Man? [09:01] i had a other pc with almost the same config for windows and i put windows on the ssd and the user on the 1tb [09:01] test [09:02] sacarlson1 how big must the /boot and /root [09:02] Glda19, why not let the installer pick your partitions this time. When you install again, and this being linux you *WILL* install again, you'll have a better idea of what you want. [09:02] Glda19: listen to bubbasaures and just install on SSD. [09:03] "Installing aint nuthin but a pardy" Bootsy Collins [09:03] Glda19: the numbers provided by the others above looked fine. I would just put root and boot on the same partition. I'm not picky [09:03] basil1x is not a pc to install and aftward installed again [09:03] There are mathematical limitations set, these are the factors of insurance companies. [09:04] Beg pardon, hon? [09:04] I'm beginning to think there's a language issue as well. [09:04] Card counting is a must it is the beginning of insight. [09:04] Glda19, If you are not prepared for it to be a brick at any time you will not have fun. [09:04] why is there a markov-chain bot here? [09:05] Did it message you or summat? [09:05] sacarlson1 50gb for root and then is 70 gb free space on the ssd [09:06] Michael_: Are you following I have activated a mechanical ego defense mechanism decoy. [09:06] basil1x: no, it just sends to channel it seems. [09:06] Michael_ your job is to mitigate the threat. [09:06] Glda19: ya 50gb root should be plenty, I'm not sure you will ever find way to use much more than 20gb and good to have 2'X that === Guest9182 is now known as Snowstormer [09:06] Is that the one making nonsensical statements? [09:07] yes [09:07] AH. Ignored ages ago. [09:07] sacarlson1 and what to do with the rest of space on the ssd [09:07] When I couldn't work out whom it was talking to. [09:08] From the birth of numbers you see the symbolic nature of adding the numbers as vowels. The top is spinning Michael. [09:08] Glda19: save it for an upgrade so you install from a fresh not upgrade what you already have running [09:08] o_O sometimes my own grammar appalls me. [09:08] basil1x: http://kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com/ :) [09:08] Glda19: you can play with it or experiment with it as maybe tmp [09:09] cybrhuman, that's sad and annoying, all in one handy little package. [09:10] Michael_: Exchange the cipher key so that it is a unique identifier. [09:10] * basil1x recites the 105 maxims of indifferent contentment. [09:10] I am going to rest now but leave the machine on. [09:10] Glda19: you can add sybolic links to it and see how it improves performance on some data bases and such [09:11] Oh, please, let's not introduce the topic of links into this. [09:12] In the manic desire to do everything exactly properly, he/she will never get to the point of actually using the blessed thing. [09:13] basil1x: here here [09:13] Which is why most people abandon linux as a bad idea and run off and hug the nearest Windows DVD. [09:13] sacarlson1: if you agree with that just have him use the defaults and install on ssd without partitioning [09:15] 1412 [09:15] cybrhuman: ya that's find with me as long as I keep one extra partition free to install new versions or other destro later. I move things as needed at later times and go with the defaults [09:15] j4s0nmchr1st0s: apart from that, everything's OK? [09:16] sacarlson1: he have an entire HDD which he can use for that purpose. just get him started [09:16] So make one partition, to reserve space for another OS, and let the automagic thingie do the rest. [09:17] Wait... there's an actual Michael that thing was talking to?? [09:17] Michael_: I think you should just ignore the bot that talks to you. [09:17] i think to do it so /boot 500mb / root 50GB /swap 8 on ssd /home -+1tb /var 20gb on hdd what did you think about it [09:17] I think I'm gonna barf. Who has that kind of free time? [09:18] Michael_: The top hasn't stopped spinning yet. Is that OK? [09:18] I thought it was seeing angels or summat. [09:18] Or at least John Travolta in his pants with wings. [09:18] Glda19: I'm sold on that one, any spare like 10gb left on the hdd to try experimental distros? [09:19] it's a 128GB, so there's about 69GB left for playing. [09:20] * basil1x saw the first part of this round. [09:20] Glda19: basil1x oh ok good to go [09:21] * basil1x is cincerned about the var being on the regular hdd, but decides to SHUT UP before he makes this more complicated than it already is. [09:22] sacarlson1 i can't do that what you say last 10 gb to try with experimental distro is not my pc but for a company [09:22] kyoshero, hon, please stop that. [09:22] basil1x: like you said they have 69gb to play with they can later move var if they want with symlink [09:22] basil1x, I'm curious, why does it concern you? [09:23] bcos var would benefit from the SSD. [09:23] ah, I see [09:23] I didn't mean concern as in it's wrong, just I'd do it different. [09:23] Glda19: ya no problem you have the 69gb on the ssd to use for that or other purpose [09:23] +ly [09:24] I have got to stop listening to the people here. My English is suffering. [09:24] basil1x: well I thought ssd had limited write cycle so var would reduce life span I would think as it's constant writes === neopsyche is now known as Ububotu [09:24] sacarlson1 for what other [09:24] Possibly, though the same holds true for the HDD. [09:24] do i need to install burg to install burg themes? [09:25] or it comes pre-installed? [09:25] Glda19: for fresh upgrade installs and experimentation [09:25] Trying to install something that's already there won't hurt one bit. Suck it and see. [09:25] There are a lot of unpaid debts. Is that OK? [09:25] absk007, ^ [09:26] Sorry. 3h26 here. getting punchy. Insomnia is bad. [09:27] basil1x, please guide me about installing a cool burg theme. Never installed a grub or burg theme before. [09:28] sacarlson1 it's not my pc to do that [09:28] Nor have I. I'd think you choose one and install it. [09:29] Have I lacked in eliminating "invincible ignorance"? [09:29] basil1x, how to check resolutions that is supported by my VESA BIOS Extensions ? [09:29] Do I miss David? [09:30] Here's a burg primer: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/12/6-best-burg-themes-and-how-to-install.html [09:30] Glda19: at some point they will have to upgrade. so I just feel it's not a big sacrafice to have space set aside for that. or keep a boot backup on it in the event of disk partition coruption [09:30] Has Paul hastened me? [09:30] Through all of we. [09:30] basil1x, i'm trying to install one theme i found and it asks about resolution. I don't know what resolutions are supported by my VESA BIOS Extensions [09:31] basil1x, how to know? [09:31] Most themes will work regardless of resolution. Just some won't be as pretty. [09:31] Glda19: as I'm told you have already set it aside as not in us with the number you have planed so it's a done deal [09:31] sacarlson1: wear time for ssds worth anything seems to be better than the expected lifetime of laptops. [09:31] basil1x, it says about some command `hwinfo`. But i'm unable install this program. [09:32] cybrhuman: even when used 24/7 in /var that is writen like ever 6 seconds? [09:32] basil1x, typing `hwinfo --framebuffer` would list all my supported resolutions. [09:32] Michael_: It is OK, it is on. [09:32] absk007, have you installed the synaptic package manager? [09:32] hey anyone can help me out?? [09:32] basil1x, yep [09:32] sacarlson1: unrealistic usage pattern [09:32] But is there an excess of tranquility? [09:32] Look for hwinfo there. ;) [09:32] how to install itunes on xubuntu [09:33] cybrhuman: I will look at my /var logs and verify time stamps [09:33] basil1x, that's what i'm saying. The candidate not found. I've Ubuntu 14.10 [09:33] Charming. sec. [09:33] sacarlson1: unrealistic for most people is the interpretation of that. [09:34] how to install itunes on xubuntu?? [09:34] hello, anyone know if Ubuntu is working on integrating an emoji keyboard? [09:35] cybrhuman: I verified adm 7187819 Nov 9 16:34 auth.log seems at minimal is updated every 60 secounds [09:35] absk007, http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/hwinfo_16.0-2.1_amd64.deb.html there's a link for hwinfo there. I have no idea if it'll work for you. [09:36] kaustav, you can't. it's an application for the Mac OS X operating system. there's other software available serving the same purpose however [09:36] wats that?? hujo [09:36] Hey anyone knows how to access the #ecryptfs channel on irc? looks like theres nobody there in this server :\ [09:37] but like I said, most themes will work regardless of resolution. They mainly ask that to be annoying, imo. [09:37] i need help to decrypt my old home folder and im having truble, can someone give me a hand_ [09:37] kaustav, I don't know what you mean, but try google for enlightenment [09:37] sacarlson1: what machine are you looking at? [09:37] kokut, have you read the manpage? === Rahul is now known as Guest66884 [09:38] what is the other software similar to itunes?? [09:38] cybrhuman: my own desktop that I note from that has an attempted root hack 10 times per secound so that's all being loged [09:38] hujo?? [09:38] hujo: yea man its pretty confusing and incomplete, i want to try this http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html but im wondering if i can do it without having to boot into the live cd again, it takes a lot of time [09:40] emoji keyboard on Ubuntu, anyone knows if it'll happen? [09:41] sacarlson1: it is not a common thing, since most machines are not directly facing internet. [09:42] cybrhuman: there are other files also being writen very often check your own /var/log files to verify I'm sure there will be minimal 1 every 60 sec changed [09:43] sacarlson1: may I suggest that you are not what we call an average user? [09:43] cybrhuman: I wouldn't know until you verify that yours is any different [09:44] sacarlson1: 20 minutes since last change in /var/log on my machine [09:44] cybrhuman: then I stand corrected [09:45] sacarlson1: the issue with being able to help other users is that we are often powerusers with different usage patterns than most. [09:47] Or just longtime users that like to poke the innards to see what shatters. ;) [09:47] basil1x: apt never shatters [09:47] ok now it's my turn to ask a stupid question... how do I shut down ssh-server? I don't see it in /etc/init.d [09:47] it can throw a right wobbler, though, innit. [09:48] sudo service ssh stop I think [09:48] sacarlson1, try openssh [09:48] hujo: no not in /etc/init.d [09:48] systemctl stop sshd.service [09:48] or is that Fedora? [09:49] what is systemctl? [09:49] Well that answers that question. [09:49] It's for systemd [09:49] is that potterings new project? [09:49] makes all that service nonsense neater. [09:49] cybrhuman, ya. [09:50] seems they changed it as now to stop ssh-server its sudo stop ssh [09:50] cybrhuman: that might have also worked [09:52] basil1x: sysctl is the command it seems. [09:52] hujo: I wonder in what way this will break then. [09:53] that at least slows down the hacker trying to login to root over ssh on my system ha ha. now time to change the port to 3333 [09:54] * basil1x can't keep his distros apart any more. [09:54] quiero ir al canal de español [09:54] !es | victorh [09:54] victorh: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [09:55] sacarlson1: do you need the root login for ssh? [09:56] cybrhuman: no they were using random names and passwords but my only user has sudo privs [09:56] Hi, I can't take a screenshot. The result is a black image. Why is this happen? [09:56] sacarlson1: you could disable password logins and only use keys. [09:56] ok my ssh ports are changed to slow them down for next time [09:57] People is pigs, innit. [09:57] Hacking... feh! [09:57] cybrhuman: yes I could also do that, I saw some other cool stuf you can add that won't open the port until you knocked or something [09:57] sacarlson1, fail2ban might be another option [09:59] hujo: does it work well? [09:59] hujo: knockd sounds cool but I'm not that security mindied [09:59] minded [10:01] cybrhuman, yep - I use it on all production machines that I manage [10:03] cybrhuman: hujo from this last attack I don't think that fail2ban would work as I note that after 4 attempted fails of login they would change there ip address [10:03] sacarlson1: yes [10:03] ups!!! === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [10:04] sacarlson1: emm... i was about to say that... that is how theirs bots works -.- [10:05] There is so much competition when it comes to ciphers. [10:05] i meant, i was administrating a server (a urban terror server) and i notice that, they (the guys from China "mostly") change its ip [10:05] so the knockd solution looks to me to be the best for security minded people. for me random port slows them down enuf [10:07] Ubuntu includes so many ciphers. [10:07] It includes all of the competitors to whatever cypher wins. [10:08] as I look closer at my logs it seems they have been working this attack for 7 days now [10:08] ciphers? for what? [10:08] High Quality photos and videos http://tny.de/patJ2 [10:09] Chuck_Norris: differential cryptanalisis [10:10] sacarlson1: http://terminal28.com/how-to-block-countries-using-iptables-debian/ seems to hold some info [10:10] cybrhuman: I've seen them come from all over at the same time, that won't work [10:10] j4s0nmchr1st0s: ok, i thought someone wanted to cipher some files :p [10:11] Chuck_Norris: it is all in kernel. [10:11] sacarlson1: you could add several rules so it only cares about a very little part of the world :) [10:11] Chuck_Norris: any source code can call the kernel to use the cyphers [10:11] j4s0nmchr1st0s: ok, i just do: gpg -c archivo.txt and gpg archivo.txt.gpg -.- [10:12] cybrhuman: this is better, the whole world can't get in. you have to knock on a squence of ports to open it http://www.zeroflux.org/projects/knock === Rory is now known as Guest1771 [10:12] cybrhuman: this way I can also travel any place and still get access [10:13] Chuck_Norris: the hardest part is keeping the private key secret. [10:13] #ubuntu! [10:13] Is it possible to create new console session with the screen embedded in the do-release-upgrade on cconsole ? [10:13] sacarlson1: I am aware of knocking sequences, I just say you can probably disable access from many places of the world without it ever affecting you, since you should be able to predict where you will be the next monts. [10:14] Hello [10:14] how to install any app ? [10:14] I have tried using ^A-c to no avail [10:14] seyad: install new programs? synaptic probably. [10:14] cybrhuman: I've had some of my worst attacks on my same true network that got into my samba files [10:15] cybrhuman: if I had blocked that address mask I would also block myself [10:15] Chuck_Norris: it is like I told Michael_ they stole my passwords. [10:15] seyad apt-get install app_name [10:15] nvm there where some stale screen locks that had to be removed.. [10:16] how can I prevent this stupid bot from showing up? I have already ignored it and it appears again and again [10:16] sacarlson1: but that sounds like misconfigured samba. [10:16] cybrhuman: I guess one of the first thing a bot does is scan it's local most net [10:16] Michael_, which one? [10:16] hujo: j4s0nmchr1st0s [10:16] Michael_: what client? [10:17] cybrhuman: quassel [10:17] cybrhuman: yes it was I later added iptables to protect those ports [10:17] sacarlson1: that sounds like bad bandaids, shouldn't you fix the samba config? [10:18] cybrhuman: I don't see any need for it, only 192.168.2.X can access it [10:18] cybrhuman: try and get in to verify === haseeb is now known as haseebr7 [10:19] Michael_: quassels wiki doesn't seem to have an entry on ignore -.- [10:20] could trolls please append _troll to nick names so i can tell them apart? [10:20] It goes into the HID. [10:20] Haskell [10:20] cybrhuman: I can right click, choose ignore, then choose custom, but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. [10:20] Michael_: I guess it just don't work then. === haseebr7 is now known as haseebr [10:20] Michael_, what ignore mask have you picked? [10:20] Similar to keepass the machine is like 13 ghosts but eventually its a single word password. [10:21] Michael_, perhaps just the nick and a star do the trick? [10:21] ignore *_troll [10:21] Michael_: notabot === haseeb is now known as haseebr [10:22] ONAK: but doing so would be against their purpose. [10:22] Michael_, never did get /ignore to work in xchat. HEXCHAT is quite willing to point&click /ingore [10:22] ignore *_* ? [10:22] HexChat is good with ignore [10:23] hujo: now I have followed your suggestion, checked the regular expressions and type j4s0nmchr1st0s@.*, we'll see [10:23] They go away utterly. [10:23] better get a mIRC script [10:23] another advantage of hexchat: pm /ignore is enabled by default === goldenfox is now known as Guest44115 [10:24] better4 then that is disconnect the internet [10:25] it ignores all trolls by default [10:26] Did this bot already say something? If yes, it means that I've succeeded at blocking it. [10:26] Dunno. Blocked it ages ago. [10:27] Do the german keyservers have an O.s. using haskell? === parduse is now known as Guest21495 [10:27] is there an user IRC on your distro? [10:28] ONAK: are you talking to me? Yes, there is.

[10:32] Hi, i need to find a way to convery my ipod nano into a bootable usb "stick" has anyone done this ? Any tips? [10:33] Why? You can't find a real USB stick anywhere? [10:33] They're really inexpensive now, you know. [10:34] basil1x: nope, I'm poor and i have 2 useless ipod nanos that i wont use again and i wont be able to sell unless i fix their screens/buttons so might as well use them to save my hard drive (i need them to be able to boot because i need to update my hard drive's firmware bc its about to self destruct) [10:35] Does anybody have a government issued photo ID?

[10:59] sliddjur: if they run on the command line then yes [11:00] sacarlson1: I run spotify in gui on a remote PC (in the living room) [11:00] sliddjur: have a look at Despotify [11:00] its a CLI version of it, but it requirea preminum [11:01] Kira9204: i dont need another client. I just need to control another one running :) [11:01] like a remote control over ssh or smth [11:01] sliddjur, if only the other client supports what you're looking for, you'd need another client, right? [11:02] sliddjur: I used to control vlc on my computer with my android phone that would play my music with an app they had for vlc [11:03] sliddjur: I think vlc also works on ip radio stations [11:04] sliddjur: but yes you can also run most any gui app from ssh but maybe a bit slow if not a good cat5 or wifi connection [11:04] sacarlson1, perhaps, yes [11:05] there mp3 support on ubuntu?

I got a mute notification tough :/ [11:38] sacarlson1, no [11:38] looneygod, try sudo ifconfig eth1 inet dhcp please [11:39] hujo, ok [11:39] there's too many desktop environments. Anyway. Is there a main continued 'fork' of the GNOME 2 project? [11:40] looneygod: it should be accecible from the icon up down arows as seen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieKUqcqCUG0 [11:40] hujo, dhcp: Unknown host [11:41] sacarlson1, okay. i had a feeling u were talking about that [11:41] looneygod, next: dhclient eth1 [11:42] hujo, http://s23.postimg.org/oz7vqvamj/Screenshot_from_2014_11_09_11_41_26.png [11:42] looneygod: you should see the eth1 in mode auto dhcp method [11:43] hujo: I'm not sure why but my attempts in recent past the dhclient eth1 method failed to work for me. it used to work fine before. not sure what's changed on that [11:44] hujo: I think in part that network-manager overides attempts to change things when it's incontrol [11:44] sacarlson1, yeah, that might be the case [11:45] elementary, what you want is a small partition with a special flag, just as described in the error message presented to you [11:45] elementary, a really tiny one, say 2MiB should be fine [11:45] hujo, with the bios grub flag? [11:46] elementary, exactly [11:46] hello room [11:46] hujo, and i install the bootloader into that partition,right? [11:46] newbaby ubuntu [11:46] hujo, sacarlson1 I am on a call with technicians.... [11:46] looneygod: ok [11:46] slt [11:46] hujo, sacarlson1 they dont know anything obviously. but lets see [11:47] what is best ubuntu for netbook [11:47] ?? [11:47] hujo, sacarlson1 thanks a lot for helping [11:47] the bootloader goes to the drives' master boot record itself, which will reference the bios boot partition for further stages of the boot process [11:47] hujo, http://s11.postimg.org/a9le2s5ub/Screenshot_from_2014_11_09_13_47_15.png [11:47] elementary, try /dev/sda [11:48] hujo, i tried /dev/sda i cross my fingers that the bootloader works fine [11:48] which ubuntu best for packerd bell dot s [11:49] hujo, http://s22.postimg.org/z8yuxhvvl/Screenshot_from_2014_11_09_13_48_45.png [11:49] hello there [11:50] hujo, http://s13.postimg.org/xod32m0xz/Screenshot_from_2014_11_09_13_49_47.png [11:50] how the range of scan with nmap ? [11:50] tyuio: man nmap [11:51] not found [11:53] tyuio: example nmap -sn 192.168.2.1/24 ; will echo ping 192.168.2.1 - 255 [11:53] what is a good partion configuration with a ssd 128 gb and a hd 1TB [11:53] tyuio: on do you have nmap installed? [11:54] yes of course [11:54] but that's my question [11:54] [ 1535.931] (EE) intel(0): Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration. [11:54] [ 1535.931] (EE) intel(0): When reporting this, please include /sys/class/drm/card0/error and the full dmesg. [11:55] i would like to know by default nmap scan how many port ? [11:55] I found this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and I've been having issues with xorg using high CPU. I'm on GMA965 and have the 'intel drivers' from 01.org. What do? [11:55] what is range of scaning port for nmap ? [11:55] by default [11:56] tyuio: by default? I gave you an example of ping scan so I'm not sure what the question is [11:56] tyuio: what range do you want? [11:57] tyuio: standard ranges for local networks on 192.168.x.x for all subnets? [11:57] well this is what i got during a scan of nmap [11:57] Initiating SYN Stealth Scan at 12:56 [11:57] Scanning 192.168.1.22 [1000 ports] [11:57] anyone familiar with the openstack installer? I've started the process a few hours ago, but no sign of progress other than the elapsed time in seconds and some animated blue thingy from which I assume that there is activity [11:58] and my question is by default only scan 1000 ports ? [11:58] Dual boot with windows 8.1 is a pain, boot repair hangs after default repair [11:58] tyuio: then it's not doing a ping scan it's scanning all ports on a single address [11:58] and my question is by default nmap only scan 1000 ports ? [11:58] any idea's what to try next? [11:58] Scanning 192.168.1.22 [1000 ports] 1000 ports means what ? [11:58] tyuio: I think depending on what command you provided will scan the standard 1024 bottom system used ports [11:59] tyuio -p 1000000000000 [11:59] I really need dual boot because my wifi doesn't work ether :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184 [11:59] Ubuntu bug 1383184 in linux (Ubuntu) "Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] not supported" [Medium,Confirmed] [11:59] tyuio: best you provide what command you gave to get the results [11:59] nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.22 this the command [12:00] tyuio: ok ] [12:01] nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.22 -p 1000000000000 this command not working [12:01] try -p 60000?

[12:08] tyuio: what is watch mode? [12:09] yeah [12:09] like scanning baggage on aeroport [12:10] i would like to scan port in permanent mode [12:11] tyuio: you could setup a script to do so if you had an idea of what you are looking for yes [12:12] tyuio: normaly to find what's on my net I use arp -n ; or arping since most systems have firewalls preventing detection [12:12] i think it can also be done with watch command [12:13] tyuio: but they can't block arp or they wouldn't work at all [12:14] tyuio: yes watch or a cron job to run at some periodic time [12:15] -T0-5 how long it will take for scanning with nmap ?

[12:33] How can I get HTTPS on localhost?

[12:40] guess it is /dev/sdc8 ext4 === walt is now known as Guest57625 [12:42] ssshvb: so it fails to boot?

[12:52] ssshvb: what's the 1TB partition and the 500GB partition? [12:52] EriC^^: he should be able to mount them and take a peak inside to be sure [12:53] i try to update it from live usb but it stops and does not do something 4 hours some i reset the system [12:54] ssshvb: you can't update ubuntu from a liveusb [12:54] ssshvb: you need to do sudo do-release-upgrade from the installation, or a fresh install from a live usb ( after backing your stuff up ) [12:54] EriC^^: I assume he means he was installing a new on top the old or in a spare partition? [12:56] ssshvb: sudo mount /dev/sdc8 /mnt [12:56] but i can not start the old system how ... [12:56] ok [12:56] sacarlson1: as you suggested let's look at what's there [12:57] sacarlson1: ssshvb i think sdc8 is the old installation, it has a bios-boot partition before it, the other partition sdc6 also has a bios-boot partition too i think it's another installation [12:57] EriC^^: hard to say it looks big [12:58] ok [12:58] ssshvb: open a terminal and type sudo mount /dev/sdc8 /mnt [12:58] ssshvb: which ubuntu version did you have? and which were you installing/updating to? [12:59] did it 12 [12:59] 14 [12:59] ssshvb: type cat /mnt/etc/issue [12:59] and paste here [12:59] EriC^^: a peak at /home might give a clue of it's age, if it's a new install maybe erase and start again [13:00] with sudo ? [13:00] ssshvb: no need [13:00] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /mnt/etc/issue cat: /mnt/etc/issue: No such file or directory [13:00] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /mnt/etc/issue cat: /mnt/etc/issue: No such file or directory [13:01] EriC^^: or if you can figure out how to get one to boot then a standard upgrade might be posible [13:01] ssshvb: type ls -l /mnt [13:01] ssshvb: what do you see?

[13:20] ssshvb: why can't you reinstall the expensive software? [13:21] EriC^^: ssshvb ya and what kind of software is it?? [13:21] maya [13:22] EriC^^ there are a few programs and all of them work together it will cost me lots of tiem to get it work back [13:22] ssshvb: EriC^^ oh wow autodesk 3d animation must be expensive.

[13:47] hi [13:47] gdrizzt: No space left on device [13:47] yeah I can't access it [13:47] gdrizzt: please show a "df -h" in a pastebin [13:47] it's on a dedicated server cluster at a datacenter, this is why I'm so confused [13:47] newlex: try dig youname [13:47] thanks k1l [13:47] interstellar is amazing movie [13:47] newlex: maybe you dns isn't setup with ipv6 to your website [13:48] I added an AAAA entry like 3 days ago [13:48] dig youname? [13:48] EriC^^, I still failed in the bootable USB image. I used another USB to do the test. [13:48] i watched it yesterday [13:48] newlex: dig nameofyoursite.com [13:48] ah k [13:48] sexy movie [13:48] good call I see ZERO AAA entries [13:48] AAAA* [13:48] !ot | chips [13:48] chips: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:49] that's really odd [13:49] newlex: well it could be your client has no aaaa access [13:49] hm [13:49] well in this case it's the server itself that I ran dig on [13:50] I may contact my server host [13:50] newlex: can your client ping ipv6.google.com [13:50] yes [13:50] both my client and server [13:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8900614/ [13:50] does anyone know exactly steps to install a bootable USB with Ubuntu OS (it is not a liveusb). I am now trying to install it using another USB stick. However, I always fail. [13:50] one of the first things I tested actually [13:50] newlex: oh ok from the server no ipv6 dig ya so thats broken [13:50] yeah [13:50] exactly [13:50] liuxg, select the usb. partition as normal. install. [13:50] I can dns ipv6 it here [13:50] gdrizzt: your /boot is full. remove a old kernel package first [13:51] So I should contact my server host you think? [13:51] or maybe its just a matter of the DNS servers there [13:51] gdrizzt: show a "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" in a pastebin [13:51] gdrizzt, sudo apt-get autoremove should clean out older kernels [13:51] k1l_ just a sec [13:51] newlex: you might verify that you can direct ping it with ipv6 address [13:51] k [13:51] I can't ping it even on ipv4 it's configured like that I presume from them [13:52] cfhowlett, yes, I did it that way. chose "something else". I created a swap 500M, and the rest leaves to the "/". I also chose the /dev/sdb as the bootloader. still I fail. [13:52] liuxg, what size USB? [13:52] cfhowlett, I got 16G and 32G both sizes. [13:52] newlex: it's posible only ipv6 but you should be able to get the ipv6 address and attempt to ping it from outside wan [13:52] k [13:53] well I'm saying I think they firewall out pings [13:53] I don't know [13:53] cfhowlett, do I need to set the bootloader to "/dev/sdb" or "/dev/sdb1" which has the installation. [13:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8900691/ k1l_ [13:53] liuxg, /dev/sdb should do. [13:53] newlex: oh no pings then netcat or something on port 80 [13:53] k [13:53] liuxg, "fails" means .... what exactly? [13:53] cfhowlett, after installation, it always crashes my grub, and make my pc not bootable. It comes to the grub command line, [13:53] cfhowlett, the autoremove ended in a similar fail, as my first pastebin [13:54] gdrizzt: "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic" [13:54] gdrizzt, let me look. I was wrong. autoremove does NOT clean kernels. [13:54] newlex: maybe try ping first. only windows disables pings [13:54] newlex: oh and I think it's ping6 [13:54] gdrizzt, k1l_ has your solution [13:54] cfhowlett, my pc cannot find it a bootable device in the bios. Instead, the liveusb does. [13:54] yeah ping6 I can't ping it [13:54] I can dns it [13:54] Thanks, I;ll input that! [13:55] I also tried setting nginx to host on ipv6 [13:55] liuxg, /dev/sdb reinstall grub to that location [13:55] and just did listen to :: [13:55] !grub2 | liuxg [13:55] liuxg: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:55] and nothing [13:55] newlex: oh maybe dig @ipv6addressyoursite yahoo.com [13:55] k [13:56] yeah nothing lol [13:56] no worries [13:56] i will try to restart [13:56] I can just go without IPV6 for the moment, it was just something like a bonus [13:56] I have a feeling it's them not me [13:56] Hey everyone, my server is flooded with traffic and I'm having trouble finding out where the traffic is from [13:56] the server host [13:57] I've tried iftop but I can't make head or tails of it [13:57] cfhowlett, I have repeated the step for many times. yes, I can recovery the problem by updating the grub. I pressed F12, and chose "Ubuntu". I can boot into the installed USB drive. However, if I insert it into another machine, it does not boot at all. [13:57] but look much appreciated for the help [13:58] mnngfltg2: get some water pumps and some paper towels and dry the baby out, just kiding [13:58] sacarlson1: seriously, thanks for your time [13:58] mnngfltg2 you too: there's also #ubuntu-server [13:58] I don't know what else to do really at this point but blame them lol [13:58] MonkeyDust, I'll check that out! [13:58] liuxg, I'm guessing that your installation included a /dev/sda partition which would be absent on a different machine [13:58] how can I know what to clean out for next time ? or how can I prevent these kernels from filling up the boot ? k1l_ ? [13:58] ubottu, thanks for your help. I have basically repeated the steps again and again to recover the grub. [13:58] liuxg: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:59] gdrizzt: regulary remove old kernels [13:59] sacarlson1: oye im the dumb one [13:59] mnngfltg2: is it a website? [13:59] I'm reading now I just have to add the ::1 [13:59] how do I know which to remove ? [13:59] cfhowlett, yes, my pc has two partitions. one for windows, and one for ubuntu 14.10. [13:59] sacarlson1, yes, though I'm not sure it's port 80 traffic I'm seeing === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [13:59] newlex: opps I should have assked you for the address [13:59] sacarlson1: yeah lol [13:59] sacarlson1: I have a ::/61 [13:59] sacarlson1: I have a ::/64 [13:59] and I think I just need to add the ::1 [13:59] and it'll work [14:00] sacarlson1, my hosted tells me I have higher than usual traffic (5GiB per hour) [14:00] mnngfltg2: well you can look at the apache logs to see whats touching each page [14:00] cfhowlett, even on the same machine, the grub crashes to command line. In the BIOS, UEFI boot order, the newly installed USB is not listed there. [14:00] sacarlson1, yes I checked the access logs and there's nothing there unforunately [14:00] liuxg, this one is over my head. sorry. sounds like you did everything right ... but [14:00] mnngfltg2: otherwise I don't know what other ports you have listening [14:00] cfhowlett, the purpose of having this is for the student training. We need to produce a bootable image with SDK inside it. [14:01] sacarlson1: adding the ipv6 add fixed everything [14:01] liuxg, option: virtualbox on windows + ubuntu virtual machine?// [14:01] mnngfltg2: you can look at sudo netstat -pant and get a list of posible ports that are in listen mode [14:01] I'm looking at Ubuntu as a host OS for running VirtualBox. Any issues I should be aware of before I do this? [14:01] newlex: oh cool now you owe me a beer then ha ha [14:02] Jinxed- are you familiar with vbox? [14:02] Jinxed-, nothing in particular = typically works just fine. [14:02] sacarlson1: I suppose I do ;) [14:02] cfhowlett, the thing is that the emulator does not run well on VM. Another thing is that the 3D acceleration does not really work on virtualbox. [14:02] MonkeyDust: yeah I have used it a few times [14:02] liuxg, ouch. sorry but ask around. most people in this channel are smarter than I am. [14:02] cfhowlett, the current USB stick seems a doable solution to students who may not have the ubuntu OS installed. [14:02] sacarlson1: lol now off to #openvpn support since its not listening [14:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8900802/ this is what the commands df -h and dpkg -l | grep linux-image wield now [14:03] Jinxed- tip: change NAT to bridged, for the type of network [14:03] sacarlson1, makes sense. I'm also using ntop which shows me lots of traffic (I see the tcp or udp ports there) [14:03] cfhowlett, anyway, thanks for your kind help on this. [14:04] mnngfltg2: ya one of those text ip monitors should sort by trafic [14:04] mnngfltg2: I don't recall witch since I normaly use wireshark that can filter and graph anything [14:05] and that it for me, time for me to find some girls and a beer [14:05] anyone knows how to install the USB bootable image with Ubuntu phone SDK installed. I want firstly make a bootable USB stick with another liveusb. I met a probably to make the bootable disk. [14:05] gdrizzt: yes, your first issue should be resolved now [14:06] k1l_ thanks a lot! btw can I remove the other kernels displayed in dpkg -l | grep linux-image ? [14:07] gdrizzt: no. you need at least 1 kernel installed to run ubuntu. and 2 kernels to use the recovery. only the ones with ii in front are installed [14:09] k1l_ so, I can remove all but 3 kernels ? I am just asking so I can keep the machine tip top and be able to deal with this on my own in the future. your help has been awesome! [14:10] gdrizzt: just keep at least 1 kernel. or 2 to run recovery. [14:10] fair enough! [14:14] I have bumblebee installed and Nvidia X Server settings installed ...

[14:24] what for? [14:24] thrash-talking [14:24] escuse me how i reinstall a package with this all dependencies ? [14:24] what? I'm telling him 170 isnt that hot [14:24] guig33k, sudo apt-get install --reinstall package name [14:24] guig33k, note the double - - [14:25] cfhowlett: yes but it just reinstall the package not the dependencies [14:25] Airbander: install dconf-editor go to com canonical unity-greeter there are more options there you can change [14:25] he asked a question and I'm answering it based on personal experience... it asked what he has because it's an important aspect to answering the question and i was saying in comparison to other machines 170 degrees isnt that hot [14:25] 76deg C ...................CPU high temp= 87 deg C and critical at 105.0 deg C [14:25] ok thanks [14:25] see [14:25] not that hot [14:25] So yes its quite high [14:25] depends on the cpu [14:25] EriC^^ what is the command to launch it ? [14:25] disable nvidia card and use cpu only [14:25] Airbander: dconf-editor [14:25] how can i copy my home folder if i booted from a live usb it say i do not have permition [14:26] and that isnt neccessarily the CPU temp that is being reported [14:26] cfhowlett: i want reinstall all the dependencies too [14:26] kertg: nvidia-prime should be used with optimus cards now. bumblebee is deprecated [14:26] that is the total temp of the computer [14:26] guig33k, what package? [14:26] unless your CPU is reporting it's own temp that is [14:26] wine:i386 [14:26] eric i'm using xubuntu [14:27] is that will make any problems [14:27] k1l_ I have Nvidia prime too. [14:27] Airbander: no i dont think so [14:27] k1l_ so, I did some more kernel removal and this popped up : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901147/ [14:28] guig33k, apt-cache show wine:i386 read through. the only dependency listed is wine 1.6 easily installed [14:29] k1l_: ONAK: Output for dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901176/ [14:29] [A [14:29] I did the Nvdia Bumblebee stuff ages ago...so i might have installed everything [14:30] kertg: remove the bumblebee stuff. just use nvidia-prime [14:30] k1l_: i type in sudo apt-get purge bumble-* ?? [14:30] kertg: but take a look what packages it wants to remove with that [14:31] gdrizzt: run a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [14:32] k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901238/ Do I proceed? [14:33] kertg: no [14:33] just get rid of bumblebee packages. see your package list fo that specific packages [14:34] k1l_ sorry, but what was the command again ? I dropped off just as you typed [14:34] i have an usb hard drive that has no partition at all. just a big formatted disk. how does trisquel does the recognition? so far it sees two bogus partitions, which are broken, unusable and make about ten times the actual size [14:34] gdrizzt: run a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [14:34] trisquel is ubuntu 14.04 without the non-libre parts [14:35] thanks man [14:35] HolyGhost trisuel is not supported here [14:36] gdrizzt_: let the update run through. maybe you need to make a reinstall on the latest kernel because it got incompletly installed because of the full disk issue. [14:36] k1l_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Uninstall Do I follow the instructions here then? [14:36] kertg: did you install that from a PPA? [14:36] gottcha running now k1l_ thanks [14:37] MonkeyDust: neither ubuntu 14.04, i see [14:37] thanks [14:37] kertg: i dont know what your setup is there. i know bumblebee is deprecated and nvidia-prime is the way to go now. remove the bumblebee packages and use only prime now. [14:37] HolyGhost type /topic to find out what's supported here [14:38] HolyGhost: 14.04 is supported. come back when you run a original 14.04 and not a changed one. [14:38] k1l_: I can't find bumblebee ppa in "Other Software" in Software & Updates ... SO no [14:39] kertg: you gave a list of nvidia and bumblebee packages installed on your system. i would suggest you just remove them. by naming them with apt-get remove [14:39] k1l_ OK [14:41] plz nobody can say to me how reinstall a package and all this dependencies ? [14:41] hi. I have a problem with an usb key. It was working fine on Ubuntu 12.04. But now, It is not autmounted on Ubuntu 14.10. I have this in dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901336/. It seems misdetected as somthing as a CUMNA/ADFS. wtf ! [14:41] guig33k sudo apt-get install [package] --reinstall [14:42] MonkeyDust: this commande line not reinstall dependencies !!! [14:44] guig33k, sudo apt-get purge the package. then install the package. all dependencies satisfied. [14:44] guig33k what you can try: apt-cache depends [package], see what it shows, then install what you need <-- workaround [14:45] guig33k or what cf suggests [14:45] cfhowlett* [14:45] EriC^^: i found it in /lib/plymouth/themes [14:45] i want be able to reinstall the dependencies purge not uninstall dependencies [14:45] How do i set up Nvidia-Prime? [14:46] guig33k, you asked to install the package and it's dependencies. that command would do it. [14:46] k1l_ here's the results from sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901426/ [14:46] guig33k don't reject every suggestion, please [14:47] ok [14:47] gdrizzt_: looks good [14:47] purge seems to work [14:47] Do I have to setup Nvidia prime or does it run on its own? [14:47] k1l_: great man, really awesome [14:48] saved my butt [14:48] Hi guys [14:49] Is there a way to add something like "download folder as zip" on an NGinx index page ?

[14:51] lol [14:51] says its not supported [14:51] gdrizzt_: Netflix seems to work fine if you use google chrome (rather than chromium) for me [14:51] ah! djones, that might be it [14:51] Will do that [14:51] not really an ubuntu question, feel free to redirect me to a better place.. anyway: which runs better on ubuntu/linux, epsxe or pcsxr?

[14:56] _unreal_: Make sure your careful when using dd, choose the sdcard and not any main hard drives. Tripple check with something like gparted to make sure that you're looking at the right drive [14:56] then it's just dd if / of [14:56] _unreal_, what Guest47305 said ...

[15:27] dwiktor, this is tech support. your question is better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:27] ok, sorry [15:28] is there method to do a diff that doesn't care about line order? [15:29] for example, I have two files that are 99% identical, but out of order. the few differences mean that lines to match and diff basically says the entire file is different, though it's definitely very similar. [15:33] rebelwireless, diff <(sort file1) <(sort file2) [15:34] enzotib, doesn't work properly.

[15:36] syadnom, ^^ [15:38] enzotib try rev [some text file] [15:39] MonkeyDust, I was proposing a solution, I have no problem, and I don't think "rev" could be a solution in the probem at hand [15:39] enzotib, I mean that because of the few changes, the lines in the file are not on the same line numbers. I have 4000 lines per file and if I remove line 3 from the first file and line 5 from the second, diff spits out almost 8000 lines of change. [15:40] syadnom, with a simple diff or with my command? [15:40] either, the sort isn't the issue [15:40] syadnom, try the -d option to diff [15:40] does anyone know a program that will go "between" a USB device and a program i'm running for purposes of capturing what data is sent back and forth? eventually i want to try to emulate a usb device by writing a script that sends back preprogrammed responses depending upon what gets sent to it, and i think this would be a good way to sniff the data. unless anyone has any other ideas...? [15:40] perhaps mkfifo in some way? [15:41] syadnom, -d "Try hard to find a smaller set of changes" [15:41] still, same [15:41] good evening.. [15:42] I heard next ubuntu slogan is gonna be like [15:42] https://pastee.org/9h24a [15:42] When i run "sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/$JAVA_VER/bin/java" 1" it says there is no alternative to update. I have not installed java on it before so what do i do? [15:43] * Latrina Ubuntu, Linux for homosexual being [15:43] if thats the case.

[15:47] i mean all flash security updates when i do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [15:47] b12, for flash 12.x, yes [15:48] b12, flash plugin is still at 11.2 for what I know [15:48] 11.2.x my bad === codepilot is now known as ramsudharsan === ramsudharsan is now known as codepilot [15:49] my nfs share doesnt get mounted during boot, but when I do sudo mount -a it gets mounted without error. What could be going on? [15:49] b12, 11.2.x is supported by Adobe until 2017 [15:49] @kostkon: so this means i dont get updates security updates that are included in version 15.x? [15:50] trijntje add the nfs share to fstab [15:51] or does it mean that i have all securtiy updates that windows user get with flash 15.x? [15:51] b12, flashplugin-installer gives you 11.2.x so you get the security updates for that version [15:51] b12, you can use chrome or chromium+pepperflashplugin [15:51] MonkeyDust: I already did that, thats why mount -a mounts it [15:51] trijntje true [15:51] b12, Adobe supports 11.2.x with security updates until 2017 [15:52] ok, so this means i can use the flashpluggin installer until 2017 without worrying about unfixed security issues? [15:52] b12, true [15:52] ok thx [15:52] salve a tutti [16:01] silencce wow [16:01] Hi Everybody [16:01] yo [16:02] Hello! Which sega genesis emulator i could use with ubuntu 14.10 x64?

[16:03] NoOova_: dgen [16:04] superbu let's hear it [16:05] When i close the lid of my laptop, and open it, it stops at blank screen [16:05] @MonkeyDust [16:05] superbu what happens when you close the lid? suspend? hibernate? or you don't know [16:06] I dont know. But i have to hard reboot. MonkeyDust [16:07] MonkeyDust? [16:08] superbu i guess the laptop has wake from suspend, after you closed the lid [16:08] superbu find out what happens when you close it [16:09] It says suspend. MonkeyDust [16:09] superbu so that's it, wake from suspend... you need enough swap for it to work propoerly [16:10] superbu or disable swap and change it to "do nothing" or so [16:10] disable suspend ^^^^ [16:10] Swap is 10 gb. RAM is 4 GB. MonkeyDust. Isnt hat enough? [16:10] superbu yes, that should do... odd [16:11] OK. Thanks for your time. MonkeyDust. [16:13] Just add your RAM together to decide swap space. [16:13] don t understand i was with the proprietary fglrx driver and now it has switch on the open source driver and impossible to be again on the proprietary when i select him it switch on the open source driver [16:13] start to be boring [16:13] you got 4GB, add another 4 oh that's 8 lol, you got 8GB add another 8 oh that's 16 [16:15] Anyone here who can help me? [16:16] oeri wireshark will record trafic on usb bus [16:17] anyone? [16:19] superbu, have you installed different login managers, is this a fresh install, can you tell anything ? [16:20] I am having a multi boot with win 8. It is a fresh install. I dont know about login managers. asdofindia. Are yu from india? [16:21] trijntje: sounds like it tries to mount NFS before network is stable you might find a work around by adding delay in /etc/init.d or /etc/init script that starts it or fix the script to be sure network is up first [16:22] The only external software i have installed is this xchat gnome which i did just now. asdofindia [16:23] superbu, do you hear hard disk whirring up when you open the lid? are the laptop lights on? [16:23] sacarlson1: that seems like a pretty bad hack for such a simple problem. There should be a normal way to do this right? I dont want to edit a bunch of scripts on every PC I have just to be able to use nfs [16:24] trijntje: the /etc/init script should tie to /etc/network/interface scripts to be sure it's up before nfs mount [16:24] trijntje: you would have to look at them to find out [16:24] asdofindia. Laptop lights are on But no disk whirring [16:25] asdofindia. Wait when i think about it, i think i hear it. [16:26] trijntje: look in /etc/network/if-up.d to see if anything to do with nfs mount is present if not add it [16:26] okay superbu . means it's going to suspend. and trying to wake up. (And getting frozen halfway, according to what you said) [16:27] asdofindia. So what should i do? Is there anyway i can repair it? [16:27] sacarlson1: add what? I dont understand why I need to edit stuf when it used to work by just adding the nfs to fstab [16:27] trijntje: same but that redhat has https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027114 [16:27] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1027114 in systemd "nfs mount fails during boot because network is not ready" [Unspecified,Closed: duplicate] [16:27] well superbu, the easy way out would be to just set it to do nothing when you close laptop lid. (I wouldn't be satisfied with that if it was my laptop, though) [16:28] trijntje: you want me to write the script for you? [16:28] but = bug [16:28] asdofindia. I wont get satisfied either. Is there any other way? [16:29] sacarlson1: no, I could write a script myself, its just weird that I suddenly have this issue with nfs [16:30] superbu, try isolating your problem. suspend manually and see if that wakes fine? [16:30] ok. asdofindia [16:30] hi there.. I'm currently looking at beaglebone as it supports ubuntu and OTG usb. Is there a way to present a iscsi as a read-only disk over OTG? [16:30] what's OTG?

[16:34] photo [16:34] there is a image made from script and bash ? [16:34] Airbander: you don't run photos you display them as images [16:34] how can i switch an active windows (e.g. firefox) to desktop 2? [16:34] ah ok [16:34] with what shortcut [16:34] asdofindia. Are you still there? [16:34] Airbander: use xdg-open [16:34] superbu, no I quit [16:35] The manual suspend didnt work. asdofindia [16:35] superbu, ah. now you have bigger problems than what you were thinking :P [16:36] What is the problem?asdofindia.

[17:55] !minimalcd | DarkLinkXXXX [17:55] DarkLinkXXXX: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:55] ikonia 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu [17:56] tafa2: that's not the output of uname -a [17:56] tafa2: please show me the output of uname -a [17:56] hey [17:56] Im running ubuntu on a Windows 8.1 VM using briged network. I am getting error messages on startup and cant ssh to it. [17:56] hey can i ask a question? [17:56] only thing ommited on there ikonia is 64 bit and the date, time and hostname [17:56] so not sure why u need those [17:56] algeria: maybe [17:56] Someone? [17:56] tafa2: I won't be helping any more [17:56] NoahYdr: are you going to pastebin the message somewhere or do I go fetch my crystal ball? [17:56] hahaha [17:57] how can i add servers? [17:57] alegria: servers to what ? [17:57] alegria to what? [17:57] Ok, it is many errors........ [17:57] alegria: you mean ppa? [17:57] NoahYdr: use a pastebin service, don't paste herre [17:58] Can anyone help? Running Ubuntu 14.04 My Grub is no good and I can't fix it. I have VMWare Player with Windows installed. Do I reinstall to the device-mapper(linear) 995K MB or straight to the 1 TB HD? [17:58] azashog, Im new to ubuntu, so I don't really know what you mean, but I typed dmesg to command and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8904154/ [17:58] MonkeyDust: can you instruct Miau how to log into unity-2d? [17:58] Sorry about the repost, but I was curious as to what criteria a package would need to meet to be bundled with the LiveCD [17:59] i mean for having more channels [17:59] gdrizzt: if that last /dev/sdb1 set of messages is relevant to your disk, then it looks like the kernel is recognizing it, so what's the problem? What is on that hdd? What kind of partition is that? [17:59] not just the official support channel [17:59] alegria: /join #channel_name [17:59] alegria: /join #channel_name [17:59] cybrhuman and MonkeyDust: I'm sorry for all the trouble guys... <:c [17:59] thanks ikonia [18:00] ill give it a try [18:00] azashog, the disk doesn't show up in the home folder, the disk is just files, mostly from my old windows machine from work [18:00] gdrizzt: was that message for me? [18:01] azashog is helping me timbo_ thanks man [18:01] oh ok. sounded like part of my question... === jack is now known as Guest97161 [18:01] gdrizzt: what partition or filesystem type is that? [18:02] azashog, how can I find out ? [18:02] Is there a way I can recover from accidentally deleting /etc/ssl/certs without reinstalling? [18:02] mrkirby153: you can try testdisk [18:03] i guess [18:03] What do you mean? and how do I use? [18:03] gdrizzt: also does a disk icon appear in the launcher when you plug in the disk? [18:03] EriC^^ [18:03] azashog, not at all no icon [18:03] mrkirby153: sudo apt-get install testdisk [18:03] it appears then dissapears [18:03] then? [18:04] EriC^^, [18:04] gdrizzt: can you mount it manually? eg. sudo mkdir /mnt/usbdisk && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdisk [18:04] mrkirby153: sudo testdisk [18:04] mrkirby153: select your hdd === gimpcoindev is now known as gimpcoindev_ [18:05] Ummmmmmm [18:05] no harddisk found [18:05] gdrizzt: might want to check to see if it listed in Disks (look in software center ) if listed you can also mount it from there [18:05] Miau: no worries, I have been there myself :P [18:06] mrkirby153: what does sudo parted -l say? [18:06] command not found. this is a VM btw [18:07] squinty, I will give it a shot, meanwhile, I tried to mount it mannually and got this message, azashog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8904305/ [18:07] Miau: do you know how to choose login session? [18:08] EriC^^ [18:08] cybrhuman: You mean, by using terminal? [18:08] Can anyone help my Grub is no good and I can't fix it. I have VMWare Player with Windows installed. Do I reinstall to the dev/mapper(linear) ext4 995K MB or straight to the 1 TB HD? [18:08] squinty, thanks man, I did find it in Disks [18:08] mrkirby153: sudo parted -l [18:08] mrkirby153: not found? [18:09] yes [18:09] mrkirby153: type echo $PATH [18:09] Miau: no, you can have several graphical sessions install and choose which one to use [18:09] gdrizzt: so, mounted? [18:09] mrkirby153: are you using ubuntu? [18:09] yes [18:09] ok, type echo $PATH [18:09] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [18:09] EriC^^ [18:09] My /etc/fstab file has /dev/sda3 mounting as /, but when I do df, / shows up as /dev/sdb3. Why might this be? [18:10] mrkirby153: ok [18:10] yes, it's mounted! it looks like and its a HPFS/NTFS [18:10] weird it's not showing up in homefolder at all though [18:10] uh [18:10] topdownjimmy: you really should use UUID or LABEL instead [18:10] I have two identical drives (cloned one onto the other with dd) so I think it's having difficulty differentiating them. [18:10] mrkirby153: try sudo fdisk -l [18:10] cybrhuman: w-well... I'm not familiar with this... :c [18:10] topdownjimmy: because /dev/sd* names are not reliable between kernel upgrades etc [18:10] timbo_: what does your grub and vmware have to do with each other? are you unable to boot your machine or vmware? [18:10] EriC^^, No output [18:11] Ubuntu seems to run slow on my quad core laptop. Debian runs way better. If I want to stick with Ubuntu should I try gnome-session-flashback, or would something like lubuntu be better? [18:11] MrElendig: Thanks; unfortunately the UUIDs were copied to a second disk when I cloned with dd, so they appear not to be unique. [18:11] mrkirby153: sudo lsblk -f [18:11] no output [18:11] topdownjimmy: labels ftw [18:11] mrkirby153: try to restart the vm [18:11] exit [18:11] mrkirby153: something isn't right i guess [18:11] topdownjimmy: or PARTUUID/LABEL if you use gpt [18:11] Miau: in the screen where you write your password you can also select session [18:11] mrkirby153: type which lsblk [18:12] MrElendig: Thanks; I don't know anything about that but I'll google around. [18:12] gdrizzt: it's not supposed to show under /home unless you mounted it there manually [18:12] /bin/lsblk EriC^^ [18:12] Miau: but I googled a bit and I found something I overlooked, can you bring up ccsm again? [18:12] mrkirby153: ok, does the vm use any special hdd or something? [18:12] topdownjimmy: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Persistent_block_device_naming [18:13] cybrhuman: Ohh, sure, it's opened here [18:13] I don't think so. How can I check? [18:13] Miau: Search for unity in there [18:13] thats' trippy, I didn't know that azashog because most of my external hdd appear at the dock automatically [18:13] EriC^^ [18:13] MrElendig: Thanks [18:13] so confused [18:14] gdrizzt: "the dock" is not "homefolder" [18:14] *n000000b* @_@ [18:14] gdrizzt: home folder is the /home/your_username directory [18:14] cybrhuman: Hmm, right, I found it [18:14] mtn: when I boot it takes me just to "Grub_". I'm running Live right now and all my partitions and data are still there. I'm going to choose Install from my Live session. I want to be sure I choose the right partition and don't lose my VMWare with Windows partition. I think I should install to the dev/mapper-ubuntu-vg-root ext4. Does that sound right? [18:14] Miau: that is not loaded? [18:14] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8904433/ Here's what "df -aTh" outputs [18:15] I see, wel...how...do I get it to appear in the dock then ? @_@ I feel stupider by the minute [18:15] timbo_: this should help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2 [18:16] Hey, I have a quick question [18:16] cybrhuman: Well, the left part of the window (which says "use this plugin") is unchecked here [18:16] I have the iso to the current LTS version's install [18:16] gdrizzt: no idea, I do all my stuff from command line, I don't rely on bells and whistles of the UI :) But, if it doesn't do automatically, there's a problem. My guess is it wasn't unmounted properly so Ubuntu is refusing to mount it automatically. [18:16] Could I just copy the files from the iso to a USB stick? [18:16] Or would that not work? [18:16] mtn? so I just want to go to a terminal and type grub - install? [18:16] Miau: load that plugin, save settings and restart unity (setsid unity) [18:17] cybrhuman: So, should I check it? [18:17] EriC^^, can't I copy the ssl certs from another computer? [18:17] mrkirby153: type mount | grep /dev/simfs [18:17] cybrhuman: Okay! Just a moment [18:17] Miau: yes. [18:17] azashog, jealous man, Im working on learning as I go, I've made the switch 3 months ago to ubuntu [18:17] EriC^^, Nothing [18:17] Thanks for the help [18:17] timbo_: you read the entire link already? just follow the appropriate steps ;) you can also use boot repair, which might be easier for you. [18:18] gdrizzt: question, can you mount it from Disks? [18:18] gdrizzt: if you open the file manager, does it show at all? [18:18] Would it be better if i just reinstall EriC^^? [18:18] mtn: I've tried these steps including Boot Repair and couldn't fix it [18:19] mrkirby153: no idea, maybe someone more knowledgeable will shed some light [18:19] I'll just reinstall. Its easier that way [18:19] where is bash.rc? [18:19] or .bash.rc [18:19] success: no such thing exists [18:20] timbo_: you would need to explain what went wrong if you want anyone to understand what it is you are doing and what is happening. you can paste your info to dpaste.com [18:20] did you mean .bashrc? [18:20] cybrhuman: Oh wait, since I can use terminal, I'll use xchat instead of my cellphone, just a moment [18:20] MrElendig, yes thats it then [18:20] blueblur112198: To make the .iso bootable, one must burn to disk as an "image" . Then the "omage" is created, else one just has the "data" not in a bootable format. [18:20] not at all, doesn't show in files manager, azashog, in fact I can only access it by clicking at the shortcut available in Disks :NTFS — Mounted at /media/pegasus/. Hack [18:21] success: man -P "less -p INVOCATION" bash [18:21] cybrhuman: Much better with keyboard, but back to the topic [18:21] mtn: sorry never used XCHat before. what can I tell you to help you help me? [18:21] Miau: indeed, didn't think about that :P [18:21] MrElendig: So, if lsblk -f shows that / is sdb3, I can refer to that partition in fstab by the ID in /dev/disk/by-id? [18:22] timbo_: remember, don't paste here in the channel. what exact command did you try that failed? what was the error message? that would be a good start. [18:22] topdownjimmy: don't use that path [18:22] MrElendig: I actually, in fact, see two IDs pointing to /dev/sdb3 in /dev/disk/by-id [18:22] Miau: load the unity plugin and close ccsm then setsid unity. [18:22] MrElendig: Oh, ok. [18:22] topdownjimmy: just label it and use LABEL=whatever [18:22] cybrhuman: And I can also access firefox to pastebin the message that appears when I type setsid unity [18:22] Miau: oh, great :) [18:23] MrElendig: Ok cool, I'll try that. Thanks. [18:23] hello! I have installed boinc-client to my VPS (Ubuntu 14.10 64bit). I get "Authorization failure: -155" error when I try to use boinccmd --project_attach command. I have tried to use weak and "regular" account key but it did not help. I am not sure if the bug reported here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/347651 affects me, in any case I installed the dev version mentioned there from a 3rd party repository but nothing changed. Can an [18:23] yone help me here please? [18:23] Ubuntu bug 347651 in boinc (Ubuntu) "boincmgr and boinccmd fail to authenticate - looking in wrong place" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:23] MonkeyDust: have you loaded the unity plugin? [18:23] mtn: I was installing new memory and the system kept hanging so several times I had to do hard reboots then suddenly on boot it will now only go to a line that says "Grub_" [18:24] timbo_: you said you tried all the steps in the help file and they "didn't work". what steps and what errors? paste to dpaste.com and give us the link. [18:24] cybrhuman: Uhh, for some reason, setsid unity hide my other xchat window [18:25] azashog: any sugestions ? === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [18:25] gdrizzt: what does fuser -m /dev/sdb1 say? [18:25] mtn: when I boot it says "Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported" then on the next line "Grub_" === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:26] cybrhuman: But anyway, I closed ccsm and typed setsid unity, but it still looks the same... :c [18:26] azashog says: specified filesname does not exist [18:26] timbo_: and what step is it in the link I gave you that gives you that result? are you reading what I am typing? [18:26] mtn: I'd have to reboot into Boot Repair to run it again [18:26] can some tell me what the use is of a ext4journaling filesystem [18:26] Miau2: hmm, strange, can you try log out and in again then ? [18:27] "pkill unity" will work. [18:27] cybrhuman: You mean, logout my user and re-enter it? [18:27] Glda19: what use is of NTFS? [18:27] mtn: http://dpaste.com/3E71PQX [18:27] Miau2: yes [18:27] mtn: that is the result of my fdisk -l [18:27] cybrhuman: Well... Since the top bar is missing, I can't do that, unless there's a command for that for terminal [18:28] !details Glda19 [18:28] Miau2: "pkill unity" a bit hacky but it should log you out very forcefully [18:28] !details | Glda19 [18:28] Glda19: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [18:28] cybrhuman: Hmm, alright, just a moment [18:29] azashog i didn't explane me write what is the difference between ext4 and ext4journaling filesytem === fred_ is now known as Guest36433 [18:29] cybrhuman: Uhh... I typed pkill unity, but I'm still here :P [18:29] Glda19: ext4 IS a journaling filesystem, so I don't get it what you mean. [18:29] Miau2: try sudo service lightdm restart [18:29] cybrhuman: The visual of the windows changed though [18:29] Miau2: compiz --replace ? [18:30] ( that'll take you to the display manager ) [18:30] Miau2: are you trying to reset unity? [18:30] azashog: Glda19 has been asking amazingly basic questions about formatting for days over on the linuxmint channel :P [18:30] mtn: sorry if I'm frustrating you. I don't mean to. [18:30] hey [18:30] mtn: I really appreciate you're trying to help [18:30] mtn: I suppose google is broken for him/her :D [18:31] I give up, X_X [18:31] EriC^^: something like that was what he was trying to fix, seems that unity plugin was not loaded. [18:31] azashog: I think it is just too hard to read and think for themself :) [18:31] cybrhuman: oh ok [18:31] mtn: :) [18:31] Miau: setsid unity resets unity [18:32] Miau: is unity working? [18:32] EriC^^: setsid unity asks unity to replace itself and that way use new settings, isn't it? [18:32] mtn: based on that dpaste where do I reinstall ubuntu? [18:33] cybrhuman: it resets it, loads it again [18:33] EriC^^: Well, not really, I'm back to my cellphone because there's only this blinking underline on the top left of the screen, I'll probably restart my computer [18:34] Miau: try the guest account [18:34] hi, anyone knows a group for C lenguage?? [18:34] Foxtrot88: group? [18:34] Miau: if it works then it's a config problem [18:34] Foxtrot88: I think its ##c [18:34] Thanks DJones :D [18:36] EriC^^: Well, still the same, no toolbar and top bar with Guest user [18:36] Miau: ok, how did this happen? [18:36] is there an audio mixer/controller for xfce4? [18:37] EriC^^: I simply logged in today and it was like that, out of sudden [18:37] Miau: which kernel are you using? [18:37] Miau: unity-2d seems to be something to check now. [18:37] EriC^^: Yesterday was working fine [18:37] Miau: uname -r === jan is now known as Guest56673 [18:37] ftjtyjtj [18:37] i can't control my volume without unity indicators panel [18:38] cybrhuman: unity 2d doesn't exist anymore i think [18:38] hjtyitjhgj === flavio is now known as Guest66511 [18:38] Miau: didn't you play with graphics drivers? [18:38] i have a panel configured for xfce that has only a whisker menu. [18:38] and a clock [18:38] blalbla [18:39] cybrhuman: Well, yeah, but since none of them worked, I just set to the one I was already using in the past === Guest56673 is now known as linux_noob_ubunt [18:39] is there a program attached to sound that i can run from terminal? [18:39] Miau: try to reinstall unity [18:39] EriC^^: Alright, lemme try [18:39] Miau: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [18:40] EriC^^: is purging and reinstalling maybe better? since there is probably some settings somewhere. [18:40] or for a lighter interface use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [18:40] the default setting works like unity. === derk0pf is now known as derk0pf|NA [18:40] cybrhuman: don't know a reinstall helped someone once [18:40] worth a shot first [18:40] more like windows 7 === derk0pf|NA is now known as derk0pf [18:40] EriC^^: okay [18:41] is there a terminal command for an audio control?

I cant switch to my nvidia card it gives an error. In the past when I have been able to switch to the card It will only run for about 5 minutes before locking up [18:43] EriC^^: Well, I reinstalled it, but still looks the same [18:43] Miau: ok [18:44] Miau: did you restart the pc before it happened btw> [18:44] Miau: try the same process with "compiz" [18:44] EriC^^: Hmm, okay, just a moment [18:44] mtn: or anyone who can help, here is a dpaste link when I tried to reinstall grub http://dpaste.com/0W4D60Z [18:44] Miau: no [18:45] Miau: i'm asking if you had restarted the pc earlier before the problem started [18:45] Miau: try to reinstall compiz as cybrhuman suggested [18:45] hellome, need help to setup hostapd with openvswitch. I created a bridge (WIFI) and a Port(wifi_wlan0) now I would like the physical wlan0 to associate to the port(wlan0). how can this be done, since I always get: failed to add interface wlan0 to bridge: operation not permitted [18:45] need help to setup hostapd with openvswitch. I created a bridge (WIFI) and a Port(wifi_wlan0) now I would like the physical wlan0 to associate to the port(wlan0). how can this be done, since I always get: failed to add interface wlan0 to bridge: operation not permitted [18:46] http://dpaste.com/0W4D60Z can anyone help with this output? [18:46] cybrhuman yes, have the unity plugin loaded [18:47] EriC^^: Well, I just turned off my computer yesterday before going to sleep [18:47] Miau: ok, maybe it's the new kernel? [18:47] Miau: which kernel are you using? [18:47] ( uname -r ) [18:47] EriC^^: probably not a kernel issue, since he had working grpahics, just not working unity. [18:47] EriC^^: 3.5.0-54-generic [18:48] ok [18:48] did you try dconf reset -f /org/compiz ? [18:49] cybrhuman: btw, what was the command to open the terminal again? (DISPLAY... something) [18:49] cybrhuman 12.04.5 here, when I use xserver-xorg-lts-trusty, it works, but then my laptop heats up rapidly and shuts down -- now using xserver-xorg-lts-precise [18:49] DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal [18:50] Miau: press ctrl+alt+f2 and try DISPLAY=:0 ccsm [18:50] check if the unity plug-in is enabled [18:50] i made it [18:50] EriC^^: already done. [18:50] i am very happy [18:51] ok [18:52] one last try for help then it's just a full reinstall. [18:52] EriC^^: Sorry for the late asnwer, I opened xchat to type faster than using the cellphone [18:53] MiauPC: you have working graphics again now? :) [18:53] EriC^^: [18:53] can anyone help me with issues regarding optimus laptop [18:53] MonkeyDust: could it be dust? [18:53] cybrhuman: Not really... I used this trick of DISPLAY=:0 and opened xchat through terminal [18:54] my standards for working graphics is low, MiauPC :P [18:55] cybrhuman: Well... It looks like I definitely need to reinstall it now x~x' [18:55] cybrhuman: The more that I use ubuntu, more bugs arrive to cause me headaches [18:56] MiauPC: the more you change things. [18:57] MiauPC: "rm -rf ~/.compiz" and log out and in again? [18:57] EriC^^: Well, ccsm is opened here, btw [18:57] MiauPC: unity and opengl is loaded? === owner_ is now known as Guest48568 [18:58] cybrhuman: You mean... Inside ccsm? [18:58] MiauPC: checking that those are loaded inside ccsm, yes. [18:59] cybrhuman: Well, only opengl is not loaded [18:59] cybrhuman: ...oh wait, it is loaded, nevermind [19:00] MiauPC: this is just weird. Now I am going to try to break unity myself. [19:00] MiauPC: try the open source driver [19:00] cybrhuman: Should I use rm -rf ~/.compiz? [19:00] cybrhuman not sure, i had to switchback to 12.04, because 14.04 gave a lot of other issues too, together with the ones mentioned earlier [19:00] EriC^^: uhh... Through terminal? [19:00] MiauPC: it's quite futile as it's not a config problem [19:01] EriC^^: I still believe this is is config related. [19:01] cybrhuman: but wouldn't creating a new user solve it [19:01] EriC^^: Well... When I try to use Guest User, the same thing happens, unfortunately :c [19:02] My audio skips when I change my volume level. Does anyone know what would cause this? [19:03] EriC^^ and cybrhuman: This may be off-topic, but my computer has an ATI Radeon 5570 (I'm not sure if this info would help but...) [19:04] is ubuntu 14.04 a LTS? [19:04] MiauPC: did you try xserver-xorg-video-ati ? [19:04] EriC^^: Hmm, lemme try [19:04] MiauPC: it's worth a shot i guess [19:04] basichash: yes [19:06] EriC^^: So uhh... I just type "xserver-xorg-video-ati" inside terminal? [19:06] how can i assign a shortcut to change the language in xubuntu 14.10? [19:06] MiauPC: no, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati [19:06] EriC^^: Oh, okay, my bad. Just a moment [19:07] My audio skips when I change my volume level. Does anyone know what would cause this? [19:07] EriC^^: It's saying it's already installed [19:07] MiauPC: try sudo lshw -C video | grep driver [19:07] EriC^^: Hmm, okay [19:07] i'm using it and it says driver=i915 [19:08] EriC^^: A text appears "PCI (sysfs)" and... that's about it [19:08] how can i assign a shortcut to change the language in xubuntu 14.10? [19:10] MiauPC: ok, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati [19:10] EriC^^: Hmm, done [19:10] EriC^^: MiauPC :: Hybrid graphics . Maybe something like : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD ?? [19:10] how can i assign a shortcut to change the language in xubuntu 14.10? [19:12] MiauPC: press ctrl+alt+f3 and type DISPLAY=:0 software-properties-gtk [19:12] MiauPC: go to additional drivers, see what's installed [19:13] Greetings. When I launch an application, the window does not start on top of the others. How do not find the way to change this behavior. Anybody has a clue? Oddly, I could not find the answer on the web. [19:14] miroshi: over all windows? [19:14] miroshi: check if they are set to always on top [19:14] I do not want them to be always on top. [19:14] hi ubuntu users, i search for people who own or know somebody with olympus voice recorders. I need testers for Olympus DSS Voice audio format. [19:14] However, when I start the application, I do not want the window to appear behind the others. [19:15] miroshi: What desktop? Which release? What specific applications? [19:16] miroshi: If you create a new user and log in as that user, do the windows behave the same way? [19:16] Ubuntu 14.04 Unity [19:16] miroshi: I have a window in my window manager settings that has to deal with 'Focus' and how things react, do you have this? [19:16] EriC^^: Hmm, alright, there are three options here: X.Org X Server, fglrx-updates and fglrx [19:17] jhutchins, you made me realize... [19:17] MiauPC: which is selected as in use? [19:17] Many applications do work ok. [19:17] Seafile client does not however. [19:17] It might be specific to this tool. [19:17] miroshi: press alt+space and check if the windows are set to always on top [19:17] nevermind [19:17] EriC: For some reason, fglrx-updates is checked, but it was always set as fglrx [19:18] Hi all [19:18] MiauPC: try to set it to the xorg one === devil is now known as Guest56977 [19:18] apparently my nvidia gfx card drivers aren't functioning properly with opencl [19:18] MiauPC: or fglrx [19:18] Ok, nevermind for my problem. [19:18] anyone have a clue about that? [19:18] because I'm lost [19:18] Must be a problem specific to Seafile client. [19:18] !nvidia [19:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [19:18] EriC^^: Well... Whenever I try to apply fglrx or X.Org, it goes back to fglrx-updates [19:19] MiauPC: try to purge it [19:19] MiauPC: sudo apt-get purge fglrx-updates [19:20] Hello all. I noticed in my dmesg output that my proprietary nvidia drivers can not load because noveau is still loaded. I used the ubuntu method of installing the nvidia drivers. Should that not disable nouvea automatically/ [19:20] EriC^^: I got the fglrx things active on my ati driven machine btw. [19:20] I see nouvea in my currently loaded modules list. This must be a bug... [19:20] cybrhuman: cool [19:20] cybrhuman: i tried the fglrx i think once but i liked the open source one better [19:20] theRealGent: Have you rebooted? [19:21] jhutchins, a few times since I thought I had installed the nvidia drivers. [19:21] theRealGent: Last I knew you had to manually blacklist nouveau. [19:21] lol What? [19:21] theRealGent, something went wrong. [19:21] So the ubuntu additional drivers page will install it for you, then say "One proprietary driver in use" and then not have it be in use? x( [19:21] Usually it works after a reboot. [19:22] EriC^^: Hmm, done, and it seems that xorg was automatically checked [19:22] MiauPC: ok [19:22] try sudo service lightdm restart [19:22] miroshi, not in my case. [19:23] hi there [19:23] EriC^^: I needed some more 3d performance than the open ones gave, the open ones did work at least, just a bit slow. just mentioning in case you find it relevant in comparing system. === ilk is now known as spork [19:24] EriC^^: So... Should I use that command "dconf reset -f /org/compiz" and "unity --reset-icons"? [19:25] MiauPC: try sudo service lightdm restart [19:25] MiauPC: if it doesn't work try dconf reset -f /org/compiz [19:25] anyone know what log to tail to see hardware related message? [19:25] MiauPC: then setsid unity [19:25] as in why a device may be disconnecting and reconnecting very quickly? [19:25] cybrhuman: i see [19:26] theRealGent: /var/log/syslog i guess [19:26] EriC^^: Well, the last I tried to use, Ubuntu stopped working, so if that happens I'll get disconnected okay? [19:26] hello, can you suggest me a task manager (todo list) application that is capable of managing recurring tasks? and maybe capable of managing tasks of multiple users? i want to use it for household/housework management [19:27] hollusion: cron is useful [19:27] i thought "getting things gnome" would be it but it misses the recurring tasks feature [19:28] theRealGent: Sorry. At that point, you must hit the web and search. [19:28] EriC^^: u-uhh... Something unexpected happened here [19:28] Miau: ? [19:28] hollusion: taskwarrior [19:29] Now, regarding, my problem, I notice that now it works. The problem is intermittent. Sigh... [19:29] My audio skips when I change my volume level. Does anyone know what would cause this? [19:29] exit [19:29] quit === newbie is now known as Guest85340 [19:29] I installed 14.04 last week and it is extremely buggy. Very disappointed. [19:29] EriC^^: A prompt of text appeared while Ubuntu was loading, and now I got a black screen on the user menu [19:30] Miau: what was the prompt of text that appeared? [19:30] Miau: check dmesg [19:31] EriC^^: time to give up and suggest reinstall? [19:31] EriC^^: Well... I can't, since I can't access my user [19:31] Miau: ctrl+alt+f1 [19:31] miroshi, known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1315156 [19:31] Ubuntu bug 1315156 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "nvidia-331 selected but nouveau loads" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:32] cybrhuman: Yeah...

I have connected the two computers together through the RJ-45 port I think. Can I, with my Ubuntu desktop, diagnose his hard drive? [19:32] is there a way to "vote" for this bug?

[20:03] and it mentions quantal somewhere too [20:04] squinty: Don't see it in a menu. And gnome-disks and gnome-disk-utility are not found on the livecd [20:04] thought maybe you had quantal with precise repos [20:04] Hello. If I execute extension=zmq.so and if I look php -m output I not see the module enabled. The procedure is correct?

I recently updated it to 14.04, before yesterday [20:04] Miau, and check the contents of your sources.list as EriC^^ suggested, just in case [20:05] Guest85340: hmmm...which livedvd version are you using?

[20:06] Miau: you should be on 3.13 [20:06] but can-t expand. I shrinked NTFS partition so that free space is under the /home partition [20:06] what shall I do_ [20:06] ?

[20:08] alexxaa: Can you take a screenshot and upload it?

Apparently the desktop sees the portable with disks. The portable looks to connect to the internet trhough the connection with the desktop, though it doesn't succeed. I would like to diagnose the portable and, eventually format the hard drive of the portable so I can install Ubuntu on the portable [20:09] Guest85340: SchrodingersScat just booted a lubuntu 14.04 iso here and Disks is definitely included... seem to remember it was on unity too. [20:10] Miau: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as kostkon suggested [20:10] Miau, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean [20:10] ^^ [20:10] kostkon: So... Should I use that command you asked me to use? [20:10] can someone tell me the command to move directories? [20:10] from one to another [20:10] squinty: Im' not doubting SchrodingersScat, just telling you what I see on my side [20:11] EriC^^ and kostkon: Okay, just a moment [20:11] GuyThatNeedsHelp: mv [20:11] Miau: run sudo apt-get update first [20:12] bekks> screenshot > http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2L/U3/2qVDbfrz/screenshot-11092014-0811.png [20:12] Gotta go, the Mrs is getting upset with me [20:12] nvm can you tell me the command to remove a directory? [20:12] see y'all later today [20:12] Guest85340: you cant invistigate a hdd over ethernet cable while the other system is not running [20:12] Guest85340: why aren't you just running a livedvd on the portable (I thought you mentioned previously you were but may be mistaken). you could also check the hard drive manufacturers site for their testing software (most are windows based though iirc) to see if the hard drive is on it's way out. [20:13] EriC^^: okay, just a moment [20:13] k1l: Each time I try to install Ubuntu on the portable, it crashes. Another friend told me that he tried to install Windows, but it, too, crashed [20:14] isnt the beta test immediately published after upload? [20:14] squinty: Live CD works, but I'd like to make something permenant on the portable [20:14] Guest85340: you said the portable is damaged. so if there is a hardware failure ubuntu cant do much about that [20:14] Guest85340: you will need to run a live system to make checks on that device [20:15] Guest85340, There is a hardware channel, you might talk with them if needed. === derkopf is now known as derk0pf|NA [20:15] k1l: I understand that. I'd like to see what the problems are so I can see if it's worth the try to install anything somewhere on the portable, perhaps after a hard drive replacement [20:15] bubbasaures: thx [20:15] gonna do that once the Mrs is calmed [20:16] Guest85340: ok, come back when you got a live system running [20:16] see ya all [20:16] EriC^^ and kostkon: Alright, I used sudo apt-get update, but when I used kostkon's command, two messages appear saying "Impossible to find package apt-get and autoremove" [20:16] Is my problem solvable_ [20:16] ? [20:17] alexxaa what is your problem? [20:17] Miau, the cmd is sudo apt-get autoremove === derk0pf|NA is now known as derkopf [20:17] Miau: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:18] alexxaa: you want to increase the ubuntu partitions? [20:18] EriC^^ and kostkon: uhh... Which one first? [20:18] Miau: dist-upgrade [20:19] EriC^^: It's saying it's already installed [20:19] k1l, yes [20:20] I want to increase /home partition [20:20] alexxaa: its possible. but you cant do that from the running ubuntu. you need to boot a live cd/dvd/usb and do that from an outside OS [20:20] tuxtimo, I'd like to increase my home partition. Please see what I wrote previously and check the link with screenshot [20:21] Miau: type dpkg -l | grep linux-image [20:21] can't see what you've wrote before [20:21] k1l, I' already on live USB [20:21] Miau: is the 3.13 there? [20:21] I am waiting [20:21] you have to boot into a linux live system [20:21] there you can use gparted [20:21] or something similar [20:21] tuxtimo [20:21] Miau, autoremove will hopefully remove thr old kernel and update grub [20:21] tuxtimo, I am running live USB and opened gparted. I can't achieve what I want [20:22] are the / and /home on the same partition? [20:22] https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.package.name [20:22] EriC^^: uhh... Just to make sure, is it an "-i" or -L"? [20:22] alexxaa: if you've created a backup, simply repartition the drive, format the partitions, and restore the files. [20:22] -L ( small case) [20:22] alexxaa: if you are on a live ubuntu check the sda4 and increase that. then increase the partitions inside sda4 you want [20:22] so if my app packahe is com.sj.xxx then it should be https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sj.xxx right? [20:23] not https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.com.sj.xxx.xxx [20:23] alexxaa: http://gparted.org/documentation.php has good docs [20:23] ,kernels [20:23] Miau: how did you upgrade to 14.04 btw? [20:23] alexxaa: i dont understand where your issue is right now [20:23] k1l .. i am neither [20:24] easy. a quick one for you. how do i use terminal to install unetbootin? [20:24] Ok, I'll explain it once more (plus I'd like to avoid jhutchins's solution): [20:24] I have 3 NTFS and two ext4 partiotions> / and /home [20:24] alexxaa: no [20:24] I shrinked one NTFS and want to add free space to /home [20:24] here is the screenshot [20:24] alexxaa: you have 3 ntfs and 2 ext4 inside a extended partition [20:24] success, how is this related to ubuntu support? [20:24] http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2L/U3/2qVDbfrz/screenshot-11092014-0811.png [20:25] hi all, anyone familiar with apcupsd? [20:25] EriC^^: Well... Ubuntu showed a message saying that there was a newer version, so I just accept the installation [20:25] alexxaa: you need to be aware that its a extended partition. [20:25] metaldog: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install unetbootin [20:25] I need to "move" unallocated space down [20:25] and then to extend /home partition [20:25] thanks shrodinger [20:26] Resize/move? [20:26] impossible [20:26] alexxaa: you need to be aware that its a extended partition. [20:26] alexxaa: do you even listen? [20:26] k1l, so? [20:26] alexxaa, unmount that drive first, drag sda4 to the left [20:26] what does it mean to be extended? [20:26] XD [20:26] alexxaa: so there is your issue [20:27] extended is like a folder, with sda5 and 6 in it [20:27] an extended partition is like a container for other partitions. [20:28] alexxaa: the reason is you can only have 4 primary partitions on one drive. so after 3 ntfs there is only one more primary which is that extended that includes the 2 ubuntu ones. so increase that first. [20:28] !partitions | alexxaa [20:28] alexxaa: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:28] EriC^^ and kostkon: Just a moment, I'll use my brother's laptop to type faster, the cellphone just slows me down [20:29] alexxaa: see this link for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [20:29] OerHeks, I have unmounted, but can't drag it lo left [20:30] k1l, I need practical advice, I'm on battery on laptop, no cable attached, my time is running out [20:30] please [20:30] I'll read it all later [20:30] I need some action right now [20:31] alexxaa: i told you what to do minutes ago [20:31] even 2 or 3 times already. [20:31] alexxaa: My suggestion would be to delete the existing partitions and create new ones with the structure you want. [20:31] alexxaa, sure it is possible to drag sda4, try again [20:32] k1l, it worked [20:32] now I understand [20:32] I've read your words once againg [20:32] *again [20:32] extending sda4 was right thing to do [20:32] alexxaa: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted [20:33] alexxaa: http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=moving-space-between-partitions [20:33] alexxaa: http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual [20:35] now the situation is following> thanks to k1l, I managed to move unallocated space from ntfs to forth primary partition (sda4 that contains sda5 / and sda6 /home) [20:35] but even now I can't increase the volume of sda6 :( [20:35] alexxaa, now first hit apply, before you move sda5 [20:36] I applied [20:36] alexxaa: you still need to move sda5 to the fron of sda4, then sda6 [20:36] alexxaa: and next time you need support actually use your OS support channel. [20:37] EriC^^ and kostkon: Finally, keyboard [20:37] k1l, that is the problem, I cannot move it. I cannot drag it [20:37] MiauAnotherPC, :) [20:37] dracula [20:38] EriC^^ and kostkon: So, back on the topic, there are a lot of linux images installed it seems [20:38] MiauAnotherPC: any 3.13 ? [20:38] alexxaa: i dont know if the mint install and mint live cd are different in their installed setup. on ubuntu you could just choose sda5 and resize/move it to the beginning of sda4. [20:39] EriC^^: There is one, "linux-image-3.13.0.19-generic" [20:39] alexxaa: but i bet the mint support channel, made the first channel you join with your irc program on default, could help you on that. [20:39] latest should be 3.13.0.39 [20:39] http://www.dodaj.rs/f/1h/Ec/4HwUhmRR/screenshot-11092014-0811.png [20:40] MiauAnotherPC: type cat /etc/issue [20:40] EriC^^: A text appears saying "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l" [20:41] I'll come back in a minute [20:41] MiauAnotherPC: ok, it's odd that it didn't install the latest one [20:42] Is it possible to pastebinit that command "sudo apt-get disdpkg -l | grep linux-imagem"? [20:42] try sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic [20:42] EriC^^: MiauAnotherPC /boot partition full ? -> df -h <- ?? [20:43] MiauAnotherPC: yeah dpkg -l | grep linux-image | pastebinit [20:43] MiauAnotherPC: not sudo apt-get in front. [20:43] Bashing-om: he said it said no packages to be installed [20:43] ( dist-upgrade ) [20:44] EriC^^: Yeah, then is strange . [20:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8906709/ [20:44] MiauAnotherPC: 3.13 is there [20:44] type uname -r again please [20:45] you said it said 3.5 earlier [20:45] 3.5.0.54-generic [20:45] ok, that's odd but nice [20:45] try to restart [20:45] and hold shift to get grub [20:45] EriC^^: I guess it's related to my grub [20:45] boot into the 3.13 kernel [20:45] MiauAnotherPC: try update-grub first [20:46] see if it picks it up [20:46] EriC^^: Alright [20:46] EriC^^: maybe try "sudo update-grub" and see if it picks up the other kernels [20:46] EriC^^: Done [20:46] MiauAnotherPC: did it mention 3.13? [20:47] EriC^^: Ayup! [20:47] ok cool [20:47] boot into it [20:47] how would one install windows AFTER ubuntu? [20:47] Finetundra: install it, then boot ubuntu cd/usb and reinstall the grub [20:47] Finetundra: same, but you have to use a liveusb to reinstall grub [20:47] EriC^^: u-uhh... h-how? Do I need to restart my computer or...? [20:47] i installed ati drivers and xorg stopped working [20:47] thats why [20:48] MiauAnotherPC: yes [20:48] k1l, EriC^^, ok, I'll begin and then be back [20:49] Is there any difference between cp ~/inf/salt/cloud.profiles.d/gcloud.conf /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ ........... AND ........... cp ~/inf/salt/cloud.profiles.d/gcloud.conf /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/. ... with the period at the end? [20:49] EriC^^: So... I just press the reset button, right? Or can I do it through terminal? [20:49] MiauAnotherPC: no, sudo reboot [20:50] if you ever need to hard restart [20:50] press alt+prntscrn and type reisub slowly [20:50] ( if sudo reboot doesn't work from a tty or something ) [20:51] EriC^^: Ohhh, I booted up 3.13 and finally the stuff appeared :3 [20:52] ok cool [20:52] EriC^^: But uhh... How about the other versions? Like 14.04 [20:52] what do you mean? [20:52] delinquentme: May I suggest you try it both ways with a test file and see? [20:52] 3.13 is the kernel version [20:53] jhutchins, they behave the same ... but I was looking for edgecases [20:53] hello [20:53] MiauAnotherPC: you're on 14.04 right now using the 3.13 kernel ( which is the latest one ) [20:53] EriC^^: Ohh,okay, I think I got it [20:53] delinquentme: If you do ls -a, you will see two tokens, . and .. [20:54] MiauAnotherPC: if you want you can sudo apt-get autoremove [20:54] EriC^^: Well, before I forget, lemme fix my grub to set this kernel [20:54] delinquentme: . represents the directory itself, .. the "parent" directory that preceeds it. [20:54] it will remove the unnecessary packages, including any old kernels and leave the last 2 [20:54] EriC^^: Oh, so this will remove the old ones? [20:54] MiauAnotherPC: yes [20:55] MiauAnotherPC: "sudo update-grub" [20:55] MiauAnotherPC: put the stuff into a pastebin then afterwards [20:55] jhutchins, right. so then the behavior would be the same [20:56] kll and EriC^^: Hmm, right, it's because I usually use grub customizer to make things easier for me to organize grub, but lemme pastebinit [20:59] MiauAnotherPC: you mean "i use grub customizer to ruin my grub and make issue that bring me to this channel to ask for help" :) === mindstorm_ is now known as mindstorm [21:00] kll: Well, not really, it was working fine yesterday :v [21:00] kll: And I didn't even touch grub customizer [21:01] hey guys I have a problem with brightness fn keys in ubuntu 14.10 it doesn't work for me so I have a question will it be fixed with updates in the future ? ot I need just use ubuntu 14.04 ? Please give me some advice. Thanks [21:02] Is there a way to flush swap back into RAM? [21:03] kll: paste.ubuntu.com/8907029/ [21:03] MiauAnotherPC: yes, that worked [21:04] kll: phew, finally it's working [21:04] quidnunc: swapoff -a === S is now known as Guest62650 [21:05] EriC^^, MonkeyDust, cybrhuman, kll: Guys, thank you so much for the help, I thought it was a lost case, but thank you very much. :3 [21:05] quidnunc: it will only swap it to ram if the processes are still using it [21:05] ( so some might disappear if they aren't in use anymore ) [21:06] I had one small issue with the minimal install. === anomie is now known as Guest818 [21:06] hi [21:06] I had to to boot the cd again and install grub so that it would work with UEFI secure boot. [21:07] i want to crack fb password how? [21:07] Guest62650: Email facebook with the username & responses to their security questions [21:10] EriC^^: I have gotten hard crashes (kernel panics?) when using swapoff [21:10] quidnunc: do you have sufficient free ram? [21:11] Hey Guys... I've a question about the really odd swappiness thing.... I've seen many youtube videos and read many webpages about this topic now and I'm still not sure which value I should use on my system.... I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 unity with an dualcore 1.8ghz and 2 gb on ram. It would be nice to hear what values you are currently using and perhaps one has an advice for me. I was going to set the value to 40 but almost in every repo [21:11] rt the value of 10 is given O.o [21:12] EriC^^: Now yes. I believe I did when I used swapoff in the past also. [21:13] EriC^^: "Sufficient" => Maybe I got a RAM spike and oom_killer got called which tanked my system [21:13] I got a very slow HDD with a swapdrive and a swapfile, each priority 5 and 2gb on space ... [21:13] EriC^^: Anyway, thanks [21:15] Hello - trying to connect a projector (benq pe7800) to 12.04 using dvi-d cable - and nothing is happening afaics, kern.log tells me nothing.. can connect another monitor with the same cable, and can connect the projector to another computer with the same cable, so it should be working. any suggestions? btw, if I use a hdmi cable from my puter and a hdmi->dvi-d adapter I get the following in kern.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8907258/ [21:15] sorry, 14.04 [21:16] HI [21:17] I want to create a instalble pendriver of windows XP to install on my kid PC [21:17] i try to use yumi but doesent suport Windows XP [21:18] some one have a tip? [21:18] Ary_Mainart: 1st windows xp is end of live. 2nd please ask the windows guys how to make that work as a live usb [21:18] Ary_Mainart: surprisingly this isn't a Windows support channel [21:18] Ary_Mainart, This is a ##windows issue, and it is a eol, don't expect much support. [21:18] no man [21:18] im using Ubuntu [21:19] you're out of luck either way. [21:19] but need to install windows on my childrens PC [21:19] Ary_Mainart: ok, that is a windows issue. we can tell you how to make a usb bootable. [21:19] Hi guys [21:19] Ary_Mainart, xp does not work on usb, check in ##windiws [21:19] ok guys [21:19] forget about it [21:19] or ##windows [21:20] Can you not put XP in a kvm? [21:20] sorry to bother you [21:20] Is there any shell scripting expert who can help a novice ? :) [21:20] c ya [21:20] basil1x, sure [21:21] Would make all this faff easier, yes? And a better solution than telling people to ask in the windows room. ick. [21:21] I need help on one of my script if possible :) [21:23] xp is not the easiest usb load anyway, I have had to use windows tools to do it [21:23] #ubuntu-fr [21:23] basil1x: the problem is, that that users asking for that dont want that virtual or kvm solutions. they want the service they know from ubuntu but with windows. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [21:24] hmm... the occasional, rare, valid point. [21:25] ow [21:25] other thing [21:25] I am having an issuie on my network === sythe is now known as sythe-afk [21:27] Ary_Mainart: what issue? can you tell the ubuntu version, the error messages, the network setup? [21:27] when i try to acess my samba network, and click on workgroup there is a windows asking for a password. [21:27] ubuntu 14.04 [21:28] i have a print screen to show [21:28] none of the passwords i use work on that [21:28] if i leave blank cant connect [21:28] did you setup a password for the home workgroup on the other windows machines? [21:28] no [21:29] that option is diseabled [21:29] i installed vsftp and i'm not seeing it inside of the init.d folder [21:29] what gives? [21:30] Ary_Mainart: try setting: "obey pam restrictions = no" in smb.conf [21:31] Ary_Mainart: here is my top portion of smb.conf - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8907493/ [21:32] Ary_Mainart: it allows for guest access OR user-with-password access.. I remember having struggled with this in the past [21:32] how do you install that damn boost 1.55 on 14.04.... i am stuck with 1.54 and i just cant upgrade... [21:33] Ary_Mainart: oh, from debian wheezy, not strictly ubuntu, maybe it helps a little anyway :) [21:33] nuke_: you are sure you need boost in that verison? [21:34] how to restar samba anyway? [21:34] i forgot [21:35] sysctl restart samba? [21:35] Not sure about that, mind [21:35] nope. sudo service restart smbd [21:35] Ary_Mainart https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html [21:35] ok. im losing patience now. im on lubuntu. i am trying to make bootable usbs of other os's. the only problem is is that it will only do it with ubuntu or ubuntu usb's. need to sort it as i need to change os [21:36] * basil1x keeps confusticating his Fedora and his Ubuntu [21:37] You can make a bootable USB of any linux OS rather easily. Sec... lemme find the instruxions. [21:38] i do not need instructions. i know what to do. its just that the only ones that work are lubuntu and ubuntu [21:38] unetbootin will do it, metaldog , or seek help in the channel for your OS [21:38] OK === metallic_ is now known as metallic [21:38] You can use unetbootin then. [21:38] basil1x: do you like Tolkien? [21:38] :D [21:39] unetbootin. fails. startup disk creator fails (both versions) and i dont know how to do ir in dd [21:39] I do. [21:39] though what that has to do with aught, I have no idea. [21:40] basil1x: nice :) [21:40] doesn't work mate. [21:40] hey [21:41] still asking worgroup pass [21:41] Ary_Mainart: i bet you did setup a workgroup password on the windows machine then [21:41] new daylibuild [21:41] for all [21:42] so...any help to be found on this so called help page then? ive only been in and out asking about this for 3 days now..... [21:42] metaldog, what OS's you want to make a usb stick for [21:43] peppermint os bazhang. all this will let me install tho are lubuntu and ubuntu [21:43] kkkkkkkkkkkkkk [21:43] im shure i didnt, but i will check anyway [21:43] I looked up my issue on google and the internets want me to install a new kernel [21:43] metaldog: does that OS have special requirements for been put on usb? ubuntu isos work with dd or startdisk creators like unetbooin or disk-creator [21:45] the most strange is because before works fine. then i format my ubuntu and install the same ubuntu version. when i tryed to acess network i got this [21:45] i know they work. ive been doing it for 3 days. i have never had any issues doing this in windows, linux. zorin or even peppermint. ubuntu hates me, lol [21:46] metaldog: what is the issue after the creating? did you check the iso? did you try to format the usb stick by hand? [21:46] metaldog, ask in #peppermint on spotchat, don't blame ubuntu please [21:47] metaldog: tried dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M (replace X with your right device) [21:48] if anyone knows the dd commands and could let me have em it would be nice...and im not blaming ubuntu, i just said it hates me, lol. i have done everything i can find or think of and the only usb os's that will work are lubuntu and ubuntu. slax linux wont even boot [21:48] sure that usb is fat32? [21:48] ok, magulu, i will try it. thanks [21:48] and yes, it is fat 32 [21:49] metaldog: be sure to type in the right device number or you might be mighty sorry.. check and double check with 'fdisk -l' [21:49] and oerheks. i dont have a peppermint issue i have a lubuntu issue [21:50] metaldog: what is the lubuntu issue? [21:50] ok, thanks, magulu [21:50] metaldog, do you have nautilus and gnome-disk-utility installed? [21:50] metaldog: and note that there should not be any numbers after, if your memory stick is /dev/sdf, then put that, not /dev/sdf1 or whatever [21:51] umount it if its currently mounted before running dd [21:51] You can open the iso with 'Disk Image Writer' choose your USB, and tick 'Restore'. It should create a bootable USB from any live image. [21:51] he's gone [21:51] heh [21:51] why the 'tab-complete' didn't work [21:52] OI! bearface ! Izzat you? [21:52] 'tis [21:52] let's hope he doesn't come back looking for help with testdisk :) [21:52] he'll be back [21:53] asking for photorec advice [21:53] yep [21:53] I would bet $20.00 if I had it [21:53] lol [21:53] Probably be sooner than you think [21:54] Hey. I check and its all Ok on windows machine. Share password protected is disabled [21:54] the windows machine doesen't see samba network [21:54] Ary_Mainart: did you read the guide? [21:55] didnt see. just a sec [21:55] Ary_Mainart: and did you try my config file? [21:56] Does anyone know the safest way to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS? I did it, but I had to revert to my old image, because the update (using dist-upgrade) caused my web server (Apache2) to break [21:56] x0rs: things in apache change so you can't just do it straight and expect it to be all perfect, is the deal i think [21:57] daftykins, ok, thanks [21:57] A certain amount of repair work might be necessary. [21:57] Hi [21:57] another shot: trying to connect a projector (benq pe7800) to 14.04 using dvi-d cable - and *nothing* is happening afaics, kern.log tells me nothing.. can connect another monitor with the same cable, and can connect the projector to another computer with the same cable, so it should be working. btw, if I use a hdmi cable from my puter and a hdmi->dvi-d adapter I get the following in kern.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8907258/ - any thoughts on this? [21:58] 'Lo, ben_g [21:58] I'm trying to generate a backup image of an SD card, but there are multiple partitions on the SD card. How should I do this? [21:58] x0rs: btw dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade releases [21:58] EriC^^, sorry, i did a do-release-upgrade following that [21:58] Ary_Mainart: which ubuntu version is it exactly? [21:59] daftykins, EriC^^, i figured it out. the upgrade with apache requires me to rename my virtual host files with a ".conf" extension [21:59] x0rs: some metnions and possible solutions/explainations as to what changed [21:59] http://jrs-s.net/2014/06/02/apache-2-4-ubuntu-trusty-problems/ [22:00] or is generating an image not the reccomended way for backing up an sd card? [22:00] ben_g, there's programmes to duplicate partitions. [22:00] bearface, thank you [22:00] ben_g: try clonezilla [22:00] basil1x: I'd like to put it all in one image, so I can easily restore the SD card if something goes wrong [22:01] AH [22:01] can clonezilla do that? [22:01] Never tried that. [22:01] Ary_Mainart: see if that helps, which is from 2010 strangely :/ https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/114345 [22:01] I do backups by shoving everything onto the drives in the closet. [22:03] what architecture is an i5? (I need that for the clonezilla download) [22:04] Ary_Mainart: and make sure your ubuntu user is in the sambashare group [22:04] Intel x64 [22:05] ben_g: "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/home/username/nameoffile.img" (without double quotes) where sdX is the device of the sdcard. will make an image of the sdcard and store it at /home/username/nameoffile.img [22:05] it only lets me choose between i686-pae, i486 and amd64 [22:05] ben_g: amd64 [22:05] bearface: how do I see the device? [22:05] amd64, then [22:05] in the explorer, I only see the separate partitions [22:06] if it's currently mounted 'mount' will list it [22:06] dd would be easier than clonezilla for backing up an sd card [22:06] ben_g: how big is the sdcard anyhow? [22:06] bprompt: 8GB [22:08] ben_g: am afraid I'd side with Ben64 on that... just run an "dd" line on it to make the image... . the only thing about "dd" is that it stores also "blank" unused space, but does the job -> dd if=/dev/SDCARDENTRY of=IMAGEFILEHERE [22:09] i think you guys are forgetting that with 'dd' a restoration will write to every LBA of the card again, which'll artificially reduce its' lifespan [22:09] the sdX thing seems to be different for each partition when I type mount [22:09] ben_g: making an image of say /dev/mmcblk1 or so.... would grab the device at raw.... irrelevant on how many partitiions there are or if it has an active or not partition and/or boot code in it [22:10] ben_g: yes... the partitions would have a number at the end... say /dev/mmcblk1 /dev/mmcblk2 and such.... the device itself, would only be say /dev/mmcblk [22:11] bprompt: ah, so I have to enter the name without the number? [22:11] ben_g: so doing /dev/mmcblk would gobble up the device at raw, and make it an image [22:11] right [22:12] ok [22:12] I guess it'll take quite a while to backup all that stuff, right? [22:12] (the command gives no output yet, is that normal?) [22:12] depends on read speed of the card/controller and write speed of the HDD you back it up onto [22:13] yes, that is normal [22:13] ben_g: it will only show output once it's done [22:13] ben_g: depends... on the sdcard read speed... I'd think a class4 would be slower than a class10 one [22:13] ok, [22:13] Thanks guys [22:14] ben_g: yeah.... is normal "dd" is a modest guy =) but I check my disk i/o activity and that tells me it's working [22:14] adding conv=sparse could eliminate copying any empty space **i think** [22:15] ben_g: like say I've done 8gbs usb sticks "dd" and on usb 1.0 stick it took 25mins.... on a usb 2.0 took me about 8mins.... so I'd think a class10 sdcard may take 10mins or less [22:15] oh well, if it contains lots of empty space, then I can still decrease the filesize later on by zipping it, so I don't really care [22:16] well, my hard drive is crap, so I guess I'll have to wait a while [22:16] ben_g: yes... I've done that... like an 8gbs stick I imaged... was half-emtpy so I zipped it... of course, I had to unzip it first to reexpand it [22:16] right click > properties on the image file says it's at 1.5GB, but I don't know if it's relyable [22:17] you can get progress output from 'dd' by running "kill -USR1 $PID" where $PID = the process ID number of the 'dd' process [22:18] "pidof dd" to get the PID of dd for daftykins command [22:20] i love you ubuntu, my box have crashed so i just moved my ssd disk to laptop and it works, totally different hardware configuration, but it just works from the very beginning [22:21] micom: that's more Linux but ok ;) [22:22] Let's all give a rousing shout to genericism. ;) [22:23] basil1x: not sure on your point there? [22:24] Only mean the generic drivers work across hardware, where windows goes on a massive hunt that takes hours. [22:25] ok i have a problem that many of you might also have, please tell me otherwise: [22:25] in the terminal, i use ctrl+shift+c to copy [22:25] OK [22:25] but in google chrome, ctrl+shift+c opens the console [22:25] yes [22:25] do you ever accidentally open the console when trying to copy something [22:25] that's really frustrating me right now [22:26] no. I use FireFox [22:26] and there doesn't seem to be any way to change chrome hotkeys [22:26] this might be the 1 thing that force me to switch to firefox [22:26] hephaestus_rg: no. shortcuts can vary from program to program [22:26] You could shift the copy keys instead. [22:27] Plenty unused macros lying about. [22:27] what do you mean basil1x [22:27] 'shift the copy keys' [22:27] I've installed Awesome wm (desktop environment) and im on it right now and when i try to use the command awsetbg then the image name i get this error [22:27] ~/Downloads$ awsetbg foggy_day_5-wallpaper-1366x768.jpg [22:27] The program 'awsetbg' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [22:27] sudo apt-get install awesome [22:27] hephaestus_rg, use ctrl + c to copy in chrome, ctrl + shift + c is for terminal only [22:27] Instead of ctrl+shft+c, you could make it ctrl+alt+shft+k or summat [22:28] is there some way to change the hotkey in chrome at the OS level? like rebind ctrl+shift+c to behave as if it was ctrl+c in chrome only? [22:28] I have a problem: I recently installed gnome shell and upgraded my software packages, now the only graphical session that I'm able to log into is Awesome WM. At the moment I'm IRCing through TTY. I've tried reinstalling lightdm/gdm [22:29] Praash: installed gnome-shell from official ubuntu repos? [22:29] I also had just plugged in my secondary display before this problem appeared [22:29] k1l: yes [22:29] Praash: so no PPAs involved there in that issue? [22:30] HALP [22:30] Praash: make sure in the users home the .Xauthority file belongs to user:user and not root:root [22:30] Manual seems to say that in Chrome F10 will poen the config menu, and let you play with all sorts of helpful settings. Perhaps it's in there? [22:30] k1l: .Xauthority is owned by me [22:31] hephaestus_rg: I've found that the UI of webkit browsers, chrome none the less, do not allow access to much.... thus not very customizable.... that includes keybindings as well, btw I've looked for keybind or remapping extensions for chrome... no dice [22:31] Praash: then what is the error when you do sudo lightdm restart === bob is now known as Guest38159 [22:33] k1l: I'm getting "Failed to use bus name org.Freedesktop.Displaymanager, do you have appropriate permissions?" === Praash is now known as Praash__ [22:35] thanks for the tip bprompt [22:36] np [22:38] Praash: did you change something regarding the video drivers? [22:38] k1l: nope [22:38] k1l: though I'm not sure if that software upgrade did anything suspicious [22:39] "software upgrade"? [22:39] I didn't upgrade the ubuntu version, just packages [22:39] Which hour is in US now? [22:40] Praash: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [22:41] then sudo start lightdm [22:41] k1l: I tried that already, but I can give another try again [22:43] Praash: else try to look at dmesg log or xserver log if there is something about that [22:44] I've installed Awesome wm (desktop environment) and im on it right now and when i try to use the command awsetbg then the image name i get this error [22:44] ~/Downloads$ awsetbg foggy_day_5-wallpaper-1366x768.jpg [22:44] The program 'awsetbg' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [22:44] sudo apt-get install awesome [22:44] GuyThatNeedsHelp: did you try the command mentioned? [22:45] no [22:45] why not? [22:45] i didnt see a reply to my question [22:45] GuyThatNeedsHelp: please re read the lines you just pasted in here [22:45] ;x [22:46] guys, I just ran dd to copy raspbian to my sd card but dd does not return [22:46] I have installed awesome already [22:46] it said: 1199570944 bytes (1,2 GB) copied, 35,5814 s, 33,7 MB/s, but the command does not return [22:46] and im using it [22:46] I did do pkill -USR1 -n -x dd to give output [22:46] GuyThatNeedsHelp: from the official ubuntu repos? [22:46] sudo apt-get install awesome [22:46] [sudo] password for bacon: [22:46] Reading package lists... Done [22:46] Building dependency tree [22:46] Reading state information... Done [22:46] awesome is already the newest version. [22:46] GuyThatNeedsHelp 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 [22:46] then I tried "sync", but that does not return either [22:46] hello guys, does anyone know of a tool (even a windows one) I can use to write to a usb drive a windows 7 installation CD and have it boot? [22:47] anyone done this? [22:47] gabeyfone: unetbootin perhaps? [22:47] gabeyfone: there is an officiel windows tool [22:47] !google windows 7 usb tool [22:47] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [22:47] gabeyfone: best is to ask there windows support for their tool [22:47] ah lol [22:47] so I have to run it within wine or virtualbox then, that [22:47] that's cool :) [22:47] you said it could be a windows tool, so I give you a windows tool :p [22:47] gabeyfone: unetbootin is cross-platform i believe, could be wrong though [22:47] so anyone on that dd? [22:48] !find awsetbg | GuyThatNeedsHelp [22:48] GuyThatNeedsHelp: File awsetbg found in awesome [22:48] GuyThatNeedsHelp: what ubuntu are you on exactly? [22:48] I'm using the Rackspace mirrors at their Sydney datacenter, but they are inconsistent and frequently down. Which mirrors do you recommend for production servers in .au? Thanks. [22:48] 14.04 [22:49] newest version [22:49] (note: for some values of 'frequently', but bad enough that we notice it when we run our ops scripts) [22:49] kandinski: honestly, i would use the main repositories [22:49] ver irc.explosionirc.net [22:49] Ben64: I hear you. It's not like a bit of latency is going to kill us. [22:50] kandinski: indeed. it was more of an issue like 15 years ago. now i don't really understand why you'd need to pick the closest location [22:50] well, choosing Rackspace itself did seem a good bet at the time... [22:51] (grumble grumble) === sythe-afk is now known as sythe [22:51] Ben64: because some mirrors are actually faster, bandwidth-wise [22:51] they update once a day at 4am, and it seems that they aren't down, but that Rackspace suffers from weird internal network partitions [22:51] GuyThatNeedsHelp: what gives you "apt-cache policy awesome"? please show in a pastebin [22:51] Ben64: I've gotten packages faster on non-main repo locations many times in the past [22:51] I've had issues with two servers not reaching each other on public IPs, despite me being connected to both of them via dial-up [22:52] I'm pretty sure this is the same kind of problem. [22:52] ulkesh: 100MB maybe at 100mbit or 50mbit isn't going to be noticeable [22:52] Ben64: I'm around 120Mbit, and it's very noticeable to me when i get 2 MB/sec from main repos, and 15 MB/sec from an alt === jan is now known as Guest91330 [22:53] k1l: I'm going to try rebooting with the secondary display disconnected [22:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8908481/ [22:53] The other reason would be politeness. Not for our own benefit, but to offload the traffic. [22:54] GuyThatNeedsHelp: talk to the PPA maintainer about the damaged awesome package you installed. [22:57] nvm then i can just change it in the config thanks for your help [22:57] hello! me again [22:57] k1l wasn't right about moving unallocated space [22:58] alexxaa, why? [22:58] I have unallocated space before sda5 and can only expand sda5, but not sda6 [22:58] GuyThatNeedsHelp: you are using 3rd party awesome packages. so please ask the maintainer for further issues since its working with the right ubunut awesome ones [22:59] but my /home is mounted to sda6 and I want to expand it [22:59] k1l, I'm using latest ubuntu live usb at the moment [22:59] alexxaa, k1l told you to move sda5 to the start of sda4, then move sda6, then finally you can expand sda6 [23:00] Oerheks, how to perform that [23:00] It cannot be done [23:00] dragging doesnt help [23:02] alexxaa: right click onto the partition, then choose resize/move, then choose the settings in the next window. then apply. [23:03] i hope you have backupd your data before this :-) [23:03] k1l, I can expand sda5 only, not sda6 [23:03] not expand, move [23:03] alexxaa, read carefully [23:04] ohhhhhhhhh [23:04] i see [23:04] move means to drag the selection to left part [23:04] ;) dummy me [23:04] alexxaa: yes. [23:04] :-) [23:04] k1l you could have told so [23:05] alexxaa: come on. i told you to move it all the time. [23:06] yes, to move. I thought it means to somehow drag it, but I didn't know WHAT I'm supposed to move. Now I know :) [23:07] anyway, I'm thinking of moving to unity. Is there any way to adjust DASH to show application categories when clicked (or when super button pressed)? [23:07] alexxaa: press super+a to go to program lense [23:08] alexxaa, sure, open dash, en click on 'fileter results right top corner [23:08] filter* [23:09] linux noob here, installed ubuntu 14.04 and upon booting it says one of my partitions (NTFS) cannot be mounted/found [23:09] i set it to automount a while ago and it just stopped working for whatever reason [23:09] Here's the info /dev/sda7: LABEL="BackUp" UUID="01CFF2686913A750" TYPE="ntfs" [23:09] splergy: do a "sudo mount -a" and put it into a pastebin please [23:10] coming right up [23:10] k1l, super + A is not what I want [23:11] http://pastebin.com/W01Tyti4 [23:11] it shows all apps [23:11] i also am dual booting and am able to access that partition when in windows [23:11] I want app's categories instead [23:11] alexxaa: see right handside to sort after groups [23:11] gropus/categories [23:11] that's handy [23:11] thanks [23:12] flair === crypt1 is now known as flair [23:12] alexxaa: but most modern desktops go for the "type program name or keyword to start/find app" approach. === Praash is now known as Praash__ [23:13] splergy: now please "sudo blkid " [23:14] http://pastebin.com/MbSSssAd [23:14] the partition in question is where i keep images/documents [23:14] not that it matters [23:15] splergy: now please (to be sure) a "cat /etc/fstab" [23:16] splergy: because it looks like you got a old uuid in the fstab and therefore it cant get mounted because that doesnt exist anymore. [23:16] http://pastebin.com/wzL1NNsX [23:17] is that what you wanted? how would i go about fixing this? [23:18] splergy: ok. like i thought. the backup partitions got a new uuid. you need to copy the one form he "sudo blkid" comand and paste it into the line in the fstab. use "sudo nano /etc/fstab" to edit the fstab [23:19] does that folder /media/BackUp exists? [23:19] ok ill try it. hopefully not too complicated [23:20] alright how do i save the changes in the terminal window? [23:21] dont see a save button listed on the bottom [23:21] is it writeout? [23:21] or can i just exit? [23:21] splergy: ctrl +o [23:21] for saving. then ctrl+x for exit [23:21] okay so i was right. noice [23:22] splergy: afterwards do a "sudo mount -a" to check === root is now known as Guest25709 [23:22] k1l, right shift doesn't work on live usb [23:22] why?

[23:23] splergy: in that case "nothing" is the result we want :) [23:23] yay [23:24] its "no errors" [23:24] okay noice. will it automount on boot? [23:24] splergy: yes [23:24] 0erHeks, I've entered live usb, currently working on live usb, waiting for gparted to finish copying and moving [23:24] and while waiting I noticed that right shift doesnt work [23:25] okay imma go test it just to be sure. ill be back if there's another issue (hopefully not). Thanks for your help [23:25] alexxaa: could depend on generic keyboard layout [23:25] Any official or unofficial news about so long waited ubuntu phones/tablet? [23:26] end of the year sounds like Christmas or what? [23:26] alexxaa: yep. that could be the timeframe [23:26] I hoped I would see it in Septembar or so [23:27] i just downloaded PyBookReader to Downloads folder -- could someone help me install this via these instructions please :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140053 (first prob -- i don't know how to cd properly) [23:29] mikubuntu, cd Downloads ( note the capital D) === Owner is now known as Guest5652 [23:29] or cd Down [tab] [23:30] OerHeks: don't have to use the little '~' thingy ?

All I want is to be able to remote in, see my desktop and work with a GUI from anywhere I'm at. [23:40] I finally get vino to let me see my desktop, but I have to login first, export my display, pkill vino and then start it back up [23:40] SleePy: it isn't hard at all [23:40] I've been googling but maybe for the wrong answer [23:41] vino "just works" [23:41] unless you're running a server or something like that [23:41] Its Ubuntu desktop [23:41] I can't get vnc to work without doing the above steps [23:42] then you're doing something wrong [23:43] I must be [23:43] This is a brand new setup on 14.04.1 LTS. Just built the machine yesterday. Not too much going on it yet [23:44] how I learned to love cli and not worry about the gui [23:44] but yeah, ssh is so much better [23:45] It is, i've got that setup and got my key in. Its a desktop though ;) === fginther` is now known as fginther [23:48] OerHeks: when it finished, the prompt reads : "~/Downloads$" do i need to cd out of downloads or just close the term?

[23:49] mikubuntu, next time you open terminal you will be in ~/ again [23:49] !bootrepair | Finetundra [23:49] Finetundra: Boot-Repair is a simple tool to repair frequent boot issues you may encounter in Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for more info. [23:50] EriC^^, as i said earlier, i was installing windows [23:50] yeah [23:51] EriC^^, both you and k1l said i'd have to reinstall grub from a live boot [23:51] true [23:51] Finetundra: that is true. use bootrepair for a guided reinstall [23:51] k1l how do i get there [23:51] install pastebinit then type sudo parted -l | pastebinit [23:51] Finetundra: see the bots message [23:52] Finetundra: you can do it manually, or use boot-repair [23:52] I may have a problem with my kernel on a VPS. /prov/version says 2.6.32-41 which is > 2 years old, /etc/issue says I am ubuntu 14.01 and in I can find no mention of 2.6 kernels in /boot/grub.cfg nor any file in /etc/grub.d/. [23:52] EriC^^, i'm just gonna use boot repair [23:52] Finetundra: boot-repair would take longer, and could possibly need some adjusting [23:52] worik: talk to your hoster. he is providing the kernel. [23:53] worik, check with your vps-provider ? [23:53] EriC^^, ok then, talk me through your way [23:53] Finetundra: ok sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:53] Finetundra: then sudo parted -l | pastebinit [23:53] OK. Can it load form somewhere other than the file system? Ther is no 2.6 kernel I can find there... [23:54] worik: you know what a vps is actually? [23:54] Finetundra: which windows did you install? [23:54] EriC^^, win 10 beta [23:54] Finetundra: ok [23:54] worik: the kernel gets provided by the host-system. is that only provides a 2.6 kernel you cant do anything on your vps. so talk to the hoster to provide a modern kernel. [23:55] uh oh, windows10 crap can really mess up your grub [23:55] how do I open a file in ubuntu? [23:55] Jeroen1: what type of file?

[23:57] Jeroen1: press "q" [23:57] omg lol thanks [23:57] used ctrl+Q [23:59] but one more thing. Using less I can not edit it [23:59] EriC^^, here ya go Finetundra [23:59] how could I? :/ [23:59] oops [23:59] Jeroen1: use nano [23:59] Jeroen1: yeah, type nano [23:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8909206/ [23:59] Jeroen1: nano /file/to/path
