| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, i copied/ pasted it | 00:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | Jeroen1, like any other service ... sudo service php-fpm restart | 00:08 |
| bodhi_zazen | or php5-fpm , depends | 00:09 |

| imastupidguest | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04/Unity. I'd like to modify the "places" area in Nautilus file manager (remove some things from showing up and add others instead). I know I can "Bookmark" a folder but that's not what I'm after. I'd like to actually modify "Places". Does anyone know how I might approach something like this? | 00:15 |
| Jeroen1 | I'd get a 502 error after installing my server using nginx. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Cant find it on Google. | 00:15 |
| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, yep. | 00:15 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: what does ls -l /mnt show? | 00:15 |
| Finetundra_ | ls: cannot access show: No such file or directory | 00:16 |
| EriC^^ | ls -l /mnt | 00:16 |
| imastupidguest | Another option (and one I think I would prefer) is to remove the Places section altogether and go ahead and use Bookmarks only. Would that be easier? How could I approach an option like that? | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: do you see a bunch of directories? | 00:17 |
| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, yes | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | usr boot bin etc | 00:17 |
| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, yes | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: ok is /etc there? | 00:18 |
| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, this, drwxr-xr-x 165 root root 12288 Nov 9 19:20 etc | 00:19 |
| Finetundra_ | ? | 00:19 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 00:19 |
| Finetundra_ | what do i do with it? | 00:20 |
| EriC^^ | is your ubuntu installation 32bit? | 00:22 |
| Finetundra_ | no | 00:22 |
| EriC^^ | is the liveusb 32bit? | 00:22 |
| Finetundra_ | yes | 00:22 |
| EriC^^ | ok, that's why we can't chroot | 00:22 |
| Finetundra_ | oh. ok. so i need to make a 64 bit live then. | 00:23 |
| kush42 | Hey guys. I hope you don't mind if I sneak in a question... :) I'm on ubuntu and trying to monitor a process, and if it fails, kill a remaining process and then restart both. I made a paste of some more details here > http://pastebin.com/ssXGb7hP If anyone has time and could lend some advice to a noob, it would be grealty appreciated. Thanks. :) | 00:23 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: do you have a 64bit ready? | 00:24 |
| Kwayzu | anyone have an idea why after running sudo chmod 777 I can't write to it with transmission? The folder is /media/ditto/Downloads | 00:24 |
| Kwayzu | stat Downloads says its still 0755 (no clue why) | 00:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | is the media vfat or ntfs ? | 00:25 |
| Finetundra | EriC^^, I have a 64 bit dvd handy, is that fine? | 00:25 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra: yes | 00:25 |
| Church | kush42: simplest imho would be writing small shellscript run at acceptable frequency from cron | 00:25 |
| Finetundra | ok | 00:25 |
| OerHeks | Kwayzu, what type of partition is it? ntfs? | 00:25 |
| Finetundra | EriC^^, i gotta reboot the computer | 00:25 |
| Kwayzu | I think so yes, I can't actually recall. Its a CIFS share | 00:26 |
| bodhi_zazen | Kwayzu, vfat and ntfs do not support chown / chmod (unless you mount the ntfs partition with the permissions option | 00:26 |
| kush42 | Thanks church!! I did read about that... however I would need this to check ~ every 10 seconds. I beleive I read the cron would only allow minimum of 1 minute intervals? | 00:26 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra: ok | 00:26 |
| Church | kush42: IIRC in linux crond it's possible to put partial intervals aswell, for example *,*/4,*/2 and alike but have to check about it | 00:27 |
| === Androo56 is now known as Gyeliott | ||
| kush42 | Ok thanks chuch! I will do some reading. :) | 00:28 |
| Church | you can also write that "each 10" seconds for 6 times in loop in script and put that once per minute | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | kush42, cron can't, do a script like this > http://stackoverflow.com/a/9619471 and change 30 to 15 | 00:28 |
| EriC^^ | Church: those like */2 (every 2 minutes) but not partials i think | 00:29 |
| Church | oh. my mistake then | 00:29 |
| metaldog | easy, back to my bootable usb issue, they all work as ive tried them in virtual machine but they just wont boot up off usb. all i want to do is change os. and i cant be doing with putting xp on the pc to then install unetbootin and do an install from there | 00:29 |
| kush42 | Thanks guys. This will keep executing the script though? | 00:30 |
| bb | Hola | 00:30 |
| bb | hablan espanol? | 00:30 |
| kush42 | I'd like to only execute if one of the process' in there fail. | 00:30 |
| k1l | metaldog: you can md5sum the usb to be sure that its done right | 00:30 |
| k1l | !es | bb | 00:30 |
| ubottu | bb: 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. | 00:30 |
| metaldog | yes, kll, i do. and they are all right | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | metaldog, xp on usb ? | 00:31 |
| bb | Tnk | 00:31 |
| k1l | metaldog: so what is the issue when booting? | 00:31 |
| imastupidguest | Oh, I can approach this another day. Thanks fellas :) | 00:31 |
| metaldog | nah, i found my old xp disc earlier but i dont fancy going thru all that just to install an os from usb | 00:32 |
| EriC^^ | kush42: if you wanted to use cron you could do something like add 2 commands, 1 with a sleep 30 before it, so they would run every 30 secs | 00:32 |
| OerHeks | metaldog, lolz xp on usb is no-go, ask in ##windows | 00:32 |
| EriC^^ | kush42: seems kind of hackish though | 00:33 |
| k1l | metaldog: so what are we talking about here now? | 00:33 |
| metaldog | LLI HAVNT GOT XP ON USB,,,,, | 00:33 |
| bazhang | lose the caps metaldog | 00:33 |
| daftykins | metaldog: i'm confused, are you the same person from earlier asking how to make up a USB with XP, or? | 00:34 |
| * OerHeks is waiting for "i have been asking for 3 days" | 00:34 | |
| bazhang | zorin OS iirc | 00:34 |
| metaldog | look. i have working usb os. i want to install it on here but all i get when i boot from usb is error messages | 00:34 |
| k1l | metaldog: so what is the issue? | 00:34 |
| k1l | metaldog: what error messages? | 00:34 |
| Kwayzu | OerHeks: bodhi_zazen: thank you for your help | 00:34 |

| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: we can manually add it i think | 00:51 |
| Finetundra_ | EriC^^, if i'm reading it right, /sda2 is the win boot | 00:51 |
| Finetundra_ | or is that wrong? | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: looks like a small 300mb ntfs partition | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | grub called it the recovery partition | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: in win8 it uses a small fat32 partition | 00:53 |
| EriC^^ | Finetundra_: try to reboot and try ubuntu and windows | 00:53 |
| EriC^^ | if it doesn't work we can manually add the windows entry | 00:53 |

| OerHeks | no, because laptoptools are available | 01:42 |
| Schumi23 | Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 4, and underneath ata1: EH complete | 01:42 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: your graphic card is not supported by that utility i think | 01:43 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: check SMART info on your hard disk from a live session, sounds like that disk is sad | 01:43 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: or may be upgrading the driver could solve that, idk, but i think to remember that nvidia released just days ago 334 or something like that -.- | 01:44 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: sry: Latest Long Lived Branch version: 340.58 - Latest Short Lived Branch version: 343.22 | 01:45 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: source: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 01:46 |
| OerHeks | Chuck_Norris, it is not a big issue, thank you for thinking with me. | 01:46 |
| Chuck_Norris | but there is Oibaf and xorg-edgers (not supported here :P) that has those driver version -.- | 01:46 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: np | 01:47 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins and in english? (I did not understand that.) - would that be fixed by putting in another hard drive? | 01:47 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: boot the live session from DVD/USB again, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" | 01:48 |
| Schumi23 | danke | 01:48 |
| daftykins | link us to the resulting link that command spits out | 01:48 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: even thogh, i think 430 is supported for nvidia's legacy drivers -.- | 01:48 |
| Schumi23 | what will I be looking for? ok | 01:48 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins - the laptop was in my broken pile, but I couldn't find the problem, so there probably is a problem. | 01:49 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: what other tests did you perform on it prior to trying to install an OS? | 01:49 |
| OerHeks | Chuck_Norris, nvidia gt430 is a nice card, good supported indeed, i was just wondering what this 49 watt card is using at the moment. maybe because it gets power from mobo, it does not compute? | 01:49 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: yes, 430 is supported by legacy: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/77034/en-us | 01:49 |
| viejotren | window 1 | 01:50 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: and latest version is: 304.1230 you are using a wrong driver i think :p | 01:50 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins - there wasn't a hard drive in it. Tests were: See if I could see any damage (no.), turn it on, it went to bios. There wasn't a hard drive in it. So I took a HDD I had laying around, and a USB drive with ubuntu I had laying around and tried to 1+1 and see if I would get 2. (Installed OS.) | 01:50 |
| OerHeks | 304 in use | 01:50 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins so the problem could either be: Broken install on USB (I doubt it, it live boots well (In the past. It's booting right now.), it could be broken HDD, or broken laptop. | 01:51 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! sry, forgot your image -.- | 01:51 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: oh well we'll see how this goes and if not, you should run memtest from the liveUSB's menu | 01:52 |
| daftykins | loop that for 3+ passes minimum | 01:52 |
| Chuck_Norris | OerHeks: lately: dmesg -.- | 01:55 |
| Chuck_Norris | just curious | 01:55 |
| whooopsiee | hello can I get help with ecryptfs here? | 01:56 |
| whooopsiee | I mean can I ask? | 01:57 |
| OerHeks | Chuck_Norris, dmesg? does that show powerusage anywere? | 01:57 |
| Chuck_Norris | no, i don't think so -.- but curious | 01:57 |
| OerHeks | I cannot find any info, as i expected | 01:58 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 01:58 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins so I'm living it, I will run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" , then what do you mean by run memtest? On the live install, open memtest and look at it? for 3+ passes? | 01:58 |
| whooopsiee | I think the ecryptfs password on my hdd was changed when I tried to rescue it with the super grub disk? makes sense? | 02:00 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: lets take it one step at a time now, i just started a TV episode :) highlight me when you have the pastebin link | 02:00 |
| Iceland_is_Aweso | hi guys how do I ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| Iceland_is_Aweso | :( pls halp | 02:01 |
| EriC^^ | Iceland_is_Aweso: the verb ubuntu? | 02:01 |
| Iceland_is_Aweso | EriC^^: yes | 02:01 |
| whooopsiee | I am runnning a live system and I can't get my data | 02:01 |
| Iceland_is_Aweso | whooopsiee: try 'fdisk -l' in a terminal as root and see if you can see your disk. | 02:01 |
| whooopsiee | the disk is there and ecryptfs finds my wrapped passphrase but it says it's wrong iceland | 02:03 |
| whooopsiee | is it possible that supergrubdisk changed it or it got damaged because I didn't log out correctly? is that a thing? | 02:06 |
| h4sh | hey | 02:09 |

| ubottu | one: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 02:18 |
| sacarlson | !nomodeset | 02:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:19 |

| Sachiru | @sarath: Depends on what you do with your computer. Some workloads are best under Windows (i.e. modern games, so technically not a *work*load), the rest are best under any of the *nixes. | 02:22 |
| Sachiru | Oh, and of course depending on the complexity and capabilities of your layer8 component Windows and/or Linux may be best. | 02:23 |

| xangua | !ppa-purge | thejman | 02:29 |
| ubottu | thejman: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:29 |

| Schumi23 | ok. (What info on it told you that? I'm gonna try with another disk, see if it's better) | 02:36 |
| daftykins | lines 57 show high raw read error rate and 72 shows 240 sectors are pending reallocation. | 02:36 |
| Guest818 | Does Ubuntu still not have vanilla ffmpeg in it's repositories? | 02:36 |
| somsip | Guest818: no, it's avconv now | 02:36 |
| Schumi23 | ok, thanks. Trying another disk now. | 02:37 |
| Guest818 | Fuck… | 02:37 |
| somsip | Guest818: no need for that language... | 02:37 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: you could also zero fill that disk to see if it recovers it | 02:37 |
| Guest818 | somsip, Is that forbidden here, is that just a matter of respect? | 02:37 |
| somsip | Guest818: this is a fmaily-friendly channel so users are asked to keep the language appropriate to that | 02:38 |
| Guest818 | Understood. | 02:38 |
| somsip | Guest818: so...avconv - it's a problem? | 02:38 |
| rypervenche | Guest818: No, they use libav now. | 02:38 |
| Guest818 | somsip, Not really. | 02:38 |
| somsip | Guest818: I understand the API is the same as ffmpeg and it's a straight replacement | 02:39 |

| sacarlson | Guest818: i just switched to avconv that seems to work just as well as ffmpeg for me | 02:40 |
| rypervenche | Guest818: You're not the only one who still uses ffmpeg^^ | 02:41 |
| Sachiru | sarath, Are you familiar with KVM/Virt-Manager? | 02:42 |
| sacarlson | Guest818: ya ffmpeg is fine also, nothing against it at all. I've been using it for many years without any major problems. so if it's still in ppa as it should be go for it | 02:42 |
| Sachiru | Because if you have a spare disk and some time, you can DD your current disk to a KVM virtual image and run off that. | 02:42 |
| one | i try folloing instructions on dowloading and installing tor.when i attemptempt to run a s root.i get permisions denied error.when dowloading from tor link.archive manager will not open tor | 02:44 |
| Phillies | dont think you need to run tor as root | 02:44 |
| Phillies | and it should just be apt-get install tor | 02:44 |
| Phillies | and then download the tor browser bundle and extract it and ./start-tor-broswer or somthhing like that | 02:45 |
| one | says could not open permission denied | 02:46 |
| h4sh | hello | 02:46 |
| Phillies | on which command the apt-get install tor? | 02:47 |
| Sachiru | sarath, What version of Windows is running on your host? | 02:47 |
| Phillies | you need root | 02:47 |
| Phillies | sudo -i | 02:47 |
| Phillies | or sudo apt-get install tor | 02:47 |
| one | when it opens it opens to several folders not tor | 02:48 |

| Phillies | one ; https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using | 02:50 |
| Phillies | very easy | 02:50 |
| sarath | just looking at kvm | 02:50 |
| Sachiru | Vista? | 02:51 |
| one | im starting over after typing in terminal apt-get install.it says permission denied .tehn askes am i root | 02:51 |
| Sachiru | Hmm. | 02:51 |
| Sachiru | That's... pretty problematic. | 02:51 |
| Sachiru | Are there any programs that you need on your current system that you do not have the installers and licenses for? | 02:51 |
| Sachiru | Because IMHO it's better for you just to nuke the Vista install and install Win7 inside the VM. | 02:51 |
| sarath | i dont have the installer for windows ;) | 02:52 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins paste.ubuntu.com/8911363 This disk looks good to my untrained eye. Is it correct? | 02:55 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: that's an SSD. | 02:55 |
| daftykins | one of the worst models ever, no less :) | 02:55 |
| Sachiru | Then acquire the installer perhaps? | 02:56 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins it's from a 180$ chromebook which broke quickly :) That's to be expected. But should installing work? (Installer just crashed installing onto it, btw) | 02:58 |
| Schumi23 | Error log then told me that it occurs when there's an issure with the disk :) | 02:59 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: time to run memtest. choose 'test memory' off the menu instead of 'try ubuntu' | 02:59 |

| sacarlson | daftykins: did you look at Schumi23 smartctl report? it had over 1.4mil raw_read errors where worst shows should be 79 | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | daftykins: it could be that I just don't know how to read those reports | 03:11 |
| daftykins | sacarlson: which line? | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | daftykins: line 57 but since it doesn't show when-failed maybe that's normal | 03:13 |
| daftykins | sacarlson: also you're referring to the first disk which i already called out as dead. | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | daftykins: oh ha ha my bad | 03:13 |
| daftykins | sacarlson: also line 72 had 240 pending sectors :) | 03:13 |
| scipy53 | I'm experiencing a really weird problem with my mozilla applications (thunderbird and firefox). Neither of them "remember" anything anymore. Thunderbird forgot all my e-mail accounts, and even if I add them again, forgets them upon restart. Firefox doesn't store previous sessions/history. Any thoughts? Thanks! | 03:19 |
| sacarlson | scipy53: maybe your running from a live cd? they don't have persistance over reboot | 03:20 |
| scipy53 | sacarlson, Nope, I've been running this PC booting the OS from harddrive partition for months now. | 03:21 |
| scipy53 | But that would explain it if it was the case | 03:21 |
| xangua | scipy53: did you run firefox/thunderbird with sudo? | 03:21 |
| xangua | *please don't | 03:22 |
| EriC^^ | ^^^ yeah check the permissions | 03:22 |
| scipy53 | umm i just run it from the "start" menu | 03:22 |
| jeffrey_f | scipy53: Try removing the .mozilla and .thunderbird folders. Possibly a corruption of the databases? | 03:22 |
| scipy53 | how can i check permissions, i think it does have something to do with that as ive had to start running some of my apps as sudo suddenly | 03:22 |
| sacarlson | scipy53: touch a file in your home and reboot and see if it's still there. or just cd ; ls -l and see if there are any files with modified dates since before your last reboot | 03:23 |
| scipy53 | jeffrey_f, Would I lose my bookmarks? I guess I'll back those up | 03:23 |
| jeffrey_f | scipy53: Try the permissions first. Otherwise, drop the folders, they will recreate on app start | 03:23 |
| EriC^^ | scipy53: you can find all directories not owned by yourself by running find ~ -type d ! -user $USER | 03:24 |
| sacarlson | scipy53: oh ya that must be it, the permissions set on those apps data , skip my idea | 03:24 |
| scipy53 | sacarlson, Tried the ls -l, nothing unusual | 03:24 |
| EriC^^ | * sudo find ~ -type d ! -user $USER | 03:24 |
| scipy53 | Wait sorry so what should I do with regards to permissions? | 03:24 |
| scipy53 | Thanks in advance fellas, much appreciated | 03:25 |
| scipy53 | oh wow so i know its something related to permissions, i ran the apps as sudo and everything is back | 03:26 |
| EriC^^ | scipy53: you can try the command above to get a list of the directories not owned by your user | 03:26 |
| scipy53 | oh ok | 03:26 |
| scipy53 | well on firefox at least | 03:26 |
| EriC^^ | scipy53: don't run them as sudo, if you need to run anything gui with privileges use gksu | 03:26 |

| jeffrey_f | nomadpenguin: An external keyboard doesn't disable the laptop's keyboard. | 03:28 |
| daftykins | Schumi23: oh so your flash drive isn't good. there should've been 'test memory' though | 03:28 |
| nomadpenguin | jeffrey_f: So how would you disable the laptop keyboard to check? | 03:29 |
| EriC^^ | scipy53: or just sudo chown <your user>: -R /home/<your user> | 03:29 |
| scipy53 | EriC^^, Sweet, ran command, re-ran previous one, looks like im root for all now | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | nomadpenguin: just the leter "t" ? is it only in that application firefox? maybe stuck key on keyboard hardware if seen in other apps | 03:29 |
| Schumi23 | daftykins so reinstall ubuntu onto the flash drive? Ok | 03:29 |
| daftykins | it's not installing, but yes | 03:29 |

| nomadpenguin | sacarlson: No, not usually, she just did that to check if it was a broken keyboard | 03:33 |
| jeffrey_f | sacarlson: yeah, the external keyboard doesn't disable the main keyboard......thinking stuck/worn key | 03:33 |
| nomadpenguin | jeffrey_f: If it's a hardware problem, how come steam chat works fine? | 03:33 |

| ax562 | running 12.04lts 64bit | 03:34 |
| sacarlson | nomadpenguin: Jeffrey ya that sounds right so the bad stuck key on the laptop would still cause problems, so try that link and disable the internal keyboard to verifty that it's not hardware | 03:34 |

| ax562 | but don't want to use the laptop screep only lcd disply | 03:34 |
| ax562 | I'm able to do it but it will not stick if I reboot. | 03:35 |
| jeffrey_f | nomadpenguin: if the main keyboard is disabled and the problem goes away, you have your answer........if not, then there is another problem. rule out possibles | 03:35 |
| nomadpenguin | :jeffrey_f: She hasn't tried that, but the keyboard works fine when booted into Windows | 03:36 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you can turn the screen off if you want | 03:36 |
| ax562 | I have my laptop screen off and my external lcd on. It works but I have to change everytime I reboot. | 03:37 |
| ax562 | will not keep settings | 03:37 |
| sacarlson | Jeffrey you might also try create a new user account and see if it still happen when loged into the new one, but I think it's hardware | 03:38 |
| sacarlson | opps jeffrey_f | 03:38 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: not sure if this would turn both off | 03:39 |
| jeffrey_f | sacarlson: another possibility | 03:39 |
| EriC^^ | xset dpms force off , don't type it yet though | 03:39 |
| EriC^^ | type xset dpms force on | 03:39 |
| EriC^^ | then off, in case both turn off, press the up arrow twice to run the on command again | 03:40 |
| nomadpenguin | scarlson: It shouldn't be hardware, since it works fine on windows, and certain applications are fine | 03:40 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind | 03:40 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: maybe use xrandr to turn it off? | 03:42 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: and add that to the startup apps | 03:42 |
| ax562 | What I want works. Only my external lcd on and my laptop display off. | 03:42 |
| sacarlson | nomadpenguin: ya so maybe some added plugin gone wild, so the new user will have no added plugins so should run ok if that's the case | 03:42 |
| ax562 | THe problem is it will not survive after reboot. | 03:43 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you can add the command to the startup apps | 03:43 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you're turning it off from settings > display? | 03:43 |
| ax562 | using nvidia xserver setting to control | 03:43 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: is there a command you can run from the terminal? | 03:43 |
| ax562 | not sure? | 03:43 |
| ax562 | i use gui | 03:43 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: type xrandr | awk '$2 ~ /^connected/' | 03:45 |
| EriC^^ | and paste it here | 03:45 |

| Geo | Hi, how would I go about changing the default syn_recv timeout? | 03:48 |
| liuxg | EriC^^, I still failed to create the bootable USB disk. I also referred to a video here at http://www.fernhilllinuxproject.com/guidesandhowtos/installubuntutousbdrive.html. I do not what could be the problem for it | 03:48 |

| ax562 | yes | 03:53 |
| EriC^^ | well, turn it on | 03:53 |
| EriC^^ | and try the command again | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | Geo might you have more than 1 connection to wan maybe a load balancer? | 03:53 |
| ax562 | but it will not stick after I reboot | 03:53 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you'll add the command to the startup apps so it runs when you login | 03:53 |
| ax562 | EriC^^ my settings now are how I want them. laptop screen off external lcd screen on. | 03:54 |
| EriC^^ | ok so take a picture of the setup | 03:54 |
| ax562 | which command? This "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off"? Where to? | 03:55 |
| ax562 | take a picture? | 03:55 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: open the dash and type startup | 03:56 |
| nomadpenguin | Well she's seems to be afk now, so I have no idea if switching users helped. Thanks jeffrey_f and sacarlson ! | 03:56 |

| ax562 | running xubuntu. not sure if I have dash | 03:57 |
| Demon_Jester | on xubuntu 14.04 can I have all audio direct through my headset instead of it manually doing for each individual one? do I disable my speaker and it will force it through my headset? | 03:58 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: try gnome-session-properties in a terminal | 03:58 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: if nothing runs, check your home dir for an autostart directory | 03:58 |
| ax562 | it worked | 03:59 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: ok | 03:59 |
| jeffrey_f | nomadpenguin: No prob | 03:59 |
| ax562 | funny thing is nvidia xserver is present | 03:59 |
| ax562 | let me try a reboot | 04:00 |
| ax562 | brb | 04:01 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 04:01 |

| EriC^^ | yes | 04:07 |
| ax562 | didn't do anything. but laptop screen is already off. | 04:07 |
| ax562 | i turned off manually | 04:07 |
| EriC^^ | why? | 04:07 |
| ax562 | because I do it everytime i login | 04:07 |
| ax562 | should I reboot? | 04:08 |
| EriC^^ | turn it on if possible | 04:08 |
| ax562 | how? | 04:08 |
| ax562 | it's laptop display | 04:08 |
| EriC^^ | how did you turn it off? | 04:09 |
| ax562 | done | 04:10 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 04:10 |
| EriC^^ | try xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off | 04:10 |
| ax562 | that actuall works | 04:10 |
| ax562 | xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off | 04:10 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 04:10 |
| ax562 | turned it off | 04:10 |
| uberdub | sup? | 04:10 |
| uberdub | 14.04 or 14.1...that is the question | 04:11 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: when you added it to the startup apps | 04:11 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: did you add it to the program name or the command? | 04:11 |
| jeffrey_f | uberdub: Long Term Support (5 yrs) with no bleeding edge software, or 14.10 - Most recent releases, some could be buggy. | 04:12 |
| uberdub | i know, i cant decide | 04:12 |

| ax562 | EriC^^ I added a command and named it laptop display off | 04:14 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: ok | 04:15 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: if you want you can add the command to ~/.profile | 04:15 |

| ax562 | would heirarchy matter? | 04:15 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: add it to the end | 04:16 |
| ax562 | i just renamed it zlaptop display off | 04:16 |
| ax562 | so it's at the bootom of the list | 04:16 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: don't think so | 04:16 |
| ax562 | it was before nvidia | 04:16 |
| EriC^^ | you can check what the nvidia command does | 04:16 |
| ax562 | should i remove it or leave it in gnome properties? | 04:16 |
| EriC^^ | by pressing edit | 04:16 |
| ax562 | sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only' | 04:17 |
| ganja | i just run ubuntu touch on my galaxy nexus,but it's old version! has anyone know where can find the new version? | 04:17 |
| ax562 | that's what it says | 04:17 |
| ax562 | nvidia | 04:17 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: no idea what that does | 04:17 |
| EriC^^ | you could test it in the terminal to see if it turns the screens on | 04:17 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: i think you have to add the command to ~/.profile to get it to work though | 04:18 |
| ax562 | didn't do anyhthing | 04:18 |
| daftykins | !touch | ganja | 04:18 |
| ubottu | ganja: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 04:18 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: type gedit ~/.profile | 04:18 |
| ax562 | where is ~/.profile? | 04:18 |
| EriC^^ | and add it at the end | 04:18 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you can remove the command from the startup apps | 04:19 |
| ganja | ok thank u | 04:19 |
| lagbox | hello again | 04:19 |
| ax562 | ok added to the end of /.profile and removed from startup | 04:20 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: it's in your home dir, it's a hidden file so you need ctrl+h to see it | 04:20 |
| ax562 | should I restart? | 04:20 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: yeah | 04:20 |
| ax562 | yeah i didn't see it | 04:20 |
| ax562 | I have hidden files enabled as well | 04:20 |
| ax562 | but gedit opened it | 04:20 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 04:21 |
| ax562 | Is this all I add though xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off | 04:21 |
| ax562 | then save? | 04:21 |
| EriC^^ | yup | 04:21 |
| ax562 | ok | 04:21 |
| ax562 | reboot brb | 04:22 |
| usr13_ | axisys: To be sure, it is ~/.profile (not /.profile) | 04:22 |
| usr13_ | ax562 not axisys Sorry | 04:23 |
| ax562 | didn't work :( | 04:26 |
| usr13_ | ax562: To be sure, it is ~/.profile (not /.profile) | 04:26 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: that's odd | 04:26 |
| ax562 | gedit ~/.profile | 04:26 |
| ax562 | is what I ran | 04:26 |

| usr13_ | ax562: EriC^^ What is the problem we are trying to solve? (I'm late to the conversation.) | 04:27 |
| ax562 | and xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off does work if I run manually | 04:27 |
| ax562 | weird | 04:28 |
| ax562 | just tried it right now | 04:28 |
| EriC^^ | usr13_: he wants to turn off his display when the pc boots | 04:28 |
| ax562 | laptop display | 04:28 |
| lagbox | so i had my system working with the radeon driver, which took making an xorg.conf file, for 2 weeks after upgrading and now again it wont boot without nomodeset .. any ideas ? 14.10 | 04:28 |
| ax562 | I have 2 displays laptop and external lcd | 04:28 |
| EriC^^ | ( he's using another display ) | 04:28 |
| usr13_ | EriC^^: ax562 Well, I suppose just a user's startup script would do it. | 04:28 |
| ax562 | but only want one on (external) | 04:28 |
| ax562 | xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off | 04:29 |
| ax562 | ^this works | 04:29 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you could try to add a sleep before the command | 04:29 |
| ax562 | but doesn't work at boot from ~/.profile | 04:29 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: like sleep 5 | 04:29 |
| Chuck_Norris | mmmm... and if ax562 add the command line to /etc/rc.local ? -.- | 04:29 |
| EriC^^ | then the command below it | 04:29 |
| usr13_ | ax562: What Chuck_Norris But it needs to be run as user. Right? | 04:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | that could work too, sleep | 04:30 |
| ax562 | let me try sleep first | 04:30 |
| ax562 | brb | 04:30 |
| ax562 | would sudo matter? | 04:30 |
| ax562 | when running gedit ~/.profile? | 04:30 |
| usr13_ | ax562: You do it as user. Right? | 04:30 |
| usr13_ | ax562: No, it needs to be done as user. Right? | 04:31 |
| ax562 | yes I have not typed sudo | 04:31 |
| EriC^^ | i like the rc.local idea | 04:31 |
| EriC^^ | cause it won't run every time you use an interactive shell | 04:31 |
| EriC^^ | login shell | 04:32 |
| ax562 | so sleep or rc.local? | 04:32 |
| usr13_ | ax562: That is why it did not work. You now need to chown it back to user | 04:32 |
| EriC^^ | usr13_: no need for sudo | 04:32 |
| ax562 | i never used sudo | 04:32 |
| usr13_ | EriC^^: Correct | 04:32 |
| usr13_ | ax562: ls -l ~/.profile #Who owns it? | 04:33 |
| EriC^^ | usr13_: obviously him cause he was able to save it with gedit | 04:33 |
| ax562 | -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 858 Nov 9 20:21 /home/user/.profile | 04:34 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: try the rc.local | 04:34 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: if it doesn't work give sleep a shot | 04:34 |
| ax562 | what do i do to /etc/rc.local? | 04:34 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: you'll need to run gksu gedit /etc/rc.local | 04:34 |
| usr13_ | EriC^^: But if he puts it in /etc/rc.local, it will be run as root. | 04:35 |
| EriC^^ | ax562: add it before the exit 0 in rc.local | 04:35 |
| EriC^^ | usr13_: no biggie | 04:35 |
| usr13_ | Ok | 04:35 |
| ax562 | put this in rc.local "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off"? | 04:35 |
| EriC^^ | yes | 04:36 |
| EriC^^ | before exit 0 | 04:36 |
| ax562 | brb reboot | 04:36 |
| ax562 | didn't work | 04:42 |
| usr13_ | ax562: Is your user name actually "user"? | 04:42 |
| usr13_ | ax562: I did not expect it to work, the command needs to be executed as user. Right? | 04:43 |
| ax562 | i also noticed that if i run xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off my taskbar gets cut off. I lose the time label and all of the right side of the taskbar | 04:43 |
| usr13_ | ax562: You ran the command and it worked. Right? (You ran it as user. Right?) | 04:43 |
| ax562 | yes | 04:43 |
| ax562 | if i run xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off | 04:43 |
| ax562 | it works the my taskbar is cut off | 04:44 |
| ax562 | right side is missing | 04:44 |
| usr13_ | Is the user name really "user"? | 04:44 |
| ax562 | yes | 04:44 |
| usr13_ | Ok. | 04:44 |
| usr13_ | What DE are you using? | 04:44 |

| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: did you try start from terminal to see errors | 05:14 |
| RustyShackleford | i did not, but thats a great idea | 05:15 |
| usr13_ | ax562: not sure what you're saying.... | 05:15 |
| OerHeks | lotuspsychje, you might want to build it yourself? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sux/ | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: is it random crash, or just when playing video's? | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | OerHeks: lemme check | 05:15 |
| usr13_ | ax562: Is the screen size not correct for TV-0 ? | 05:16 |
| RustyShackleford | lotuspsychje, seems to be random. Its not really that frequent. Once a day or so | 05:16 |
| RustyShackleford | ubuntu says it crashes, but its not the whole program. I think perhaps just one tab | 05:16 |
| ax562 | vga 0 is my external lcd | 05:16 |
| RustyShackleford | i don't notice any problems, but ubuntu reports them to me | 05:16 |
| ax562 | lvds-0 is my laptop display | 05:17 |
| usr13_ | ax562: Ok. So is VGA-0 not correct screen size? | 05:17 |
| usr13_ | ax562: (What else needs to be done? Are we killing LVDS-0 with the command we used in Autostart?) | 05:18 |
| suzanne | hello | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | OerHeks: thank you! found the .deb here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57797582/sux_1.0.1-6_all.deb | 05:18 |
| ax562 | not sure but when I run "xrandr --output lvds-0 --off" the laptop display turns off but my vga 0 doesn't adjust to change | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: hello | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: try from terminal :p | 05:19 |
| usr13_ | ax562: What does it need to be? 1600x900 ? | 05:19 |
| ax562 | usr13_: the goal is to kill lvds-o and vga 0 adjust to the kill | 05:19 |
| RustyShackleford | lotuspsychje, will do, thanks for the idea | 05:19 |
| ax562 | yes | 05:19 |
| RustyShackleford | one other thing: I'm running 14.04 and I want to upgrade eventually | 05:19 |
| ax562 | I'm not sure if the resolution is an issue | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | OerHeks: im making a collection of my favorite packages with apt-get download package | 05:19 |
| RustyShackleford | i don't think i've ever performed the upgrade. I just clean install | 05:19 |
| RustyShackleford | what do you think? | 05:19 |
| usr13_ | ax562: Ok. Add another line to /home/user/bin/kill-display | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: stick to 14.04 its rocksolid | 05:19 |
| RustyShackleford | i could do that too. I suppose there isn't anything that I want a newer version of | 05:20 |
| ax562 | it does look like 1600 x 900 but my taskbar is cut off and I'm able to move my mouse off screen to new screen | 05:20 |
| usr13_ | xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x900 | 05:20 |
| RustyShackleford | i'd like to see what they've improved though, if anything | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: 14.10 still has issues with grafix | 05:20 |
| ax562 | ok | 05:20 |
| RustyShackleford | lotuspsychje, i have terrible luck with my graphics card so maybe I'll wait | 05:21 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: of course it depends on your machine | 05:21 |
| RustyShackleford | this version of ATI catalyst works just fine. Better not mess with it haha | 05:21 |
| lotuspsychje | RustyShackleford: enjoy trusty a bit, its supported to 2019 :p | 05:21 |
| ax562 | ~/bin/kill-display | 05:21 |
| ax562 | xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x900 | 05:21 |
| ax562 | then? | 05:21 |
| suzanne | i am having issues with my comeputer, i can use other profiles but the main one that is used alot,does not work after some commands, like remove *desktops and a reboot | 05:21 |
| usr13_ | ax562: No, needs to be on line by itself. | 05:22 |
| suzanne | login issue* | 05:22 |

| lotuspsychje | suzanne: ubuntu version? | 05:22 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, 14.04 | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: so you can login to other users, but not your main account? | 05:24 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, yes, which is the main admin account | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: what happens after login exactly? | 05:26 |
| mblah01 | anyone know how to force ubuntu 14.04 to only use internet when vpn is enabled | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | mblah01: you using openvpn? | 05:27 |
| mblah01 | no pptn | 05:28 |
| mblah01 | ive set the wired connection to automatically connect to vpn but if the vpn drops out it doesnt seem to do what i want | 05:28 |
| lotuspsychje | !vpn | mblah01 | 05:29 |
| ubottu | mblah01: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 05:29 |
| lotuspsychje | mblah01: maybe the #openvpn guys might be able to help also | 05:29 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, http://pastebin.com/1sNTM0K1 this is the commands [some] | 05:30 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: can you tell us what you are trying to do exactly? | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: did you try lubuntu-desktop and trying to remove now? | 05:31 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, what happens is what i go to the main account it flashes text you can barely ready then fail, then redircet me back to the login screen | 05:31 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, i was trying out desktops weeks ago, but i wanted to clean* up my computer,so i this was the atempt | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: your main version was ubuntu desktop? | 05:33 |
| suzanne | yes, i was trying to reinstall the default lotuspsychje | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: purge desktops can be tricky sometimes and remove things you might still need | 05:34 |
| Ben64 | yeah, don't purge | 05:34 |
| suzanne | so i should not have purged ? | 05:35 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: i would reinstall ubuntu desktop 14.04 fresh | 05:35 |
| suzanne | -.-... no | 05:35 |
| suzanne | :P | 05:35 |
| Ben64 | and you should not use "startx" | 05:35 |
| Ben64 | you can try installing the ubuntu-desktop package and see if that works for you | 05:36 |
| suzanne | *reinstalling lubuntu-desktop | 05:36 |
| === Shiftos_ is now known as Shiftos | ||
| suzanne | *reinstalling ubuntu-desktop | 05:37 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: dont forget to backup data, if things go wrong :p | 05:37 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, Ben64 got to relog to try it,as i am using the same pc i am talking about. | 05:38 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, i live my the dangerous side. | 05:38 |
| Ben64 | suzanne: ok | 05:38 |
| Ben64 | don't purge stuff unless you know exactly what it will do | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: its good to experiment, to experience what can happen | 05:39 |
| suzanne | XD no backups cuase of not much room/ no setup to do so | 05:39 |
| usr13_ | ax562: So, did you try the commands from a terminal? | 05:39 |
| usr13_ | ax562: Or what? | 05:39 |
| ax562 | trying now | 05:39 |
| usr13_ | ok | 05:39 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, well all my "catz" videos and pic are going to be gone if i mess up :P | 05:39 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: there is photorec to recover data if you want | 05:40 |
| === sins-_j is now known as sins- | ||
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, lol thanks ify it was a joke... | 05:41 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: i know :p | 05:41 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: maybe Ben64's solution will fix your main login again | 05:43 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, well i guessed i missed tht. what was it again ? | 05:44 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: to download ubuntu-desktop again | 05:45 |
| suzanne | oh well i already did | 05:48 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, please check your pm | 05:48 |
| evi1m0cha | freenode | 05:53 |
| suzanne | back | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: did it work? | 05:57 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, ben64 its the same result. not working, on the strange note. i can use the same pc{im using it to chat your you] to login to another account | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: you can try grub recoverymode and 'fix broken packages' | 06:00 |
| Ben64 | suzanne: so just your user is broken? | 06:00 |
| suzanne | ben64 i guess you can say that. i have never even deal with this/hear of this problem before | 06:02 |

| Hecter | quoting For Ubuntu 12.10 | 06:07 |
| Hecter | Ubuntu 12.10's official repository is updated to PHP 5.4. You should use the main repository package if you can. To do this, just install PHP5Install php5 without enabling any PPA. | 06:07 |
| Hecter | "You should use the main repository package if you can" | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | !12.10 | Hecter | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Hecter: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on May 16th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/quantal | 06:07 |
| Hecter | lotuspsychje: Hi, but i think my client doesnt want me to upgrade 14.04, he just want me to upgrade php version to 5.4 | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | !info php trusty | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Package php does not exist in trusty | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | !php | Hecter | 06:10 |
| ubottu | Hecter: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/php5.html | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | !info php5-cli trusty | Hecter | 06:11 |
| ubottu | Hecter: php5-cli (source: php5): command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language. In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5 (trusty), package size 2105 kB, installed size 8813 kB | 06:11 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, Ben64 still does not work, but i got a little bit of a differnet response. | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | suzanne: meaning? | 06:16 |
| daftykins | suzanne: well don't leave them in suspense! | 06:16 |
| suzanne | daftykins, XD | 06:19 |
| Hecter | lotuspsychje: the links were to upgrade to 5.5, but i just need 5.3.3 from 5.3.10 , this is to simulate the live server. | 06:21 |
| suzanne | lotuspsychje, so the txt was shorter this time when it flashed, then i tried again to login and then nothing, maybe some text that takes most of the screen. the same ones that you see in the older days[still still at times] when you boot in/up | 06:21 |
| suzanne | is it dead today?? is is it cause its a monday.... | 06:22 |
| suzanne | or is it going to be a monday* | 06:22 |
| suzanne | hi yall | 06:22 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: don't tell me you're still here working saving the elementons? you helpd me earlier download the pybookreader, and i thought everything installed allright, but i can't get it to launch any way :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140053 | 06:23 |
| OerHeks | Hecter, bad idea, your "client" is vulnerable for heartbleed and other leaks that are not patched | 06:23 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, what errors do you get when you start it in terminal? | 06:24 |
| OerHeks | use paste.ubuntu.com for multiple lines | 06:24 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: No command 'pybr' found, did you mean: Command 'pytr' from package 'pytrainer' (universe) | 06:25 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: i'm pretty sure all i had to input was pybr in an earlier installation i had two years ago on another laptop | 06:26 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, that package was from 2009, looks like dependencies are gone | 06:26 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: u mean the one i have now, or the previous one? | 06:27 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, i use calibre for ebooks, great app | 06:28 |
| === crypt1 is now known as flair | ||
| OerHeks | i am not sure it can be fixed | 06:28 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: i use pybr as a teleprompter, does calibre offer the same function? | 06:28 |
| === n_ is now known as tp43_ | ||
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, no, i don't think so | 06:31 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: :( i haven't found any other open source app that offers the teleprompter functionality | 06:32 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: i have this great idea for an app called Elementon. it does anything you want it to. lol. | 06:34 |
| slixpk | I made a service file and placed it in /etc/init/chatscreen.conf. But "service chatscreen" outputs "chatscreen: unrecognized service". Am I doing something wrong? | 06:36 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, i cannot find teleprompter/autocue software too | 06:37 |
| mydopey | OerHeks: ask | 06:38 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: what are you trying to do? | 06:39 |
| daftykins | create a custom service, it's pretty obvious ^ | 06:39 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: I'm trying to make a service that spawns a screen session running weechat on boot on another user. And it should restart itself. | 06:40 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: put that in their bashrc file | 06:40 |
| Hecter | OerHeks: ran an upgrade, even apache was upgraded, and files are now in /var/www/html, not in /var/www | 06:40 |
| Hecter | <Hecter>vhosts are showing all the splash page :D | 06:40 |
| Hecter | <Hecter>any advise to fast fix this? | 06:40 |
| mydopey | Hecter: good | 06:41 |
| OerHeks | Hecter, 12.10 is no longer supported. | 06:41 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: The service needs to run before the user connects. The point is to have a persistent IRC client that is always connected, even if the user is not ssh'ed in at that time. | 06:42 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: get a bouncer or use irccloud.net | 06:42 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: This service will also run all of my IM networks with bitlbee, and neither a bouncer or irccloud solve that. I'm planning on having my laptop constantly have a mosh open to this screen, although it's possible that this screen+mosh+weechat solution is too complex and I should reconsider. | 06:44 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: i found this promptcast app, could u help me install for testing? | 06:44 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: its impossible | 06:44 |
| mydopey | Sick | 06:45 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: and irccloud.net will solve it as it will always be connected regardless of where you are. | 06:45 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: I've done this before with systemd. I just ran into this issue where the 'service' command, which I thought ran upstart services, won't recognize my service file. | 06:46 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: i found this promptcast app, could u help me install for testing? http://sourceforge.net/projects/promptcast/ | 06:46 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: irccloud wouldn't be able to connect to a locally-running bitlbee server. Also, I'm concerned that running a web browser just for chatting would be annoying. | 06:46 |
| cryptodan | well for starters its init.d and the config file should be called upon in the bash script | 06:47 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: sorry dint realize i posted without the link | 06:47 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, that would be a windows app, use wine for that? | 06:48 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: Ah, okay. So service files in /etc/init don't magically become available through 'service'. That's unfortunate. The other files in /etc/init.d look relatively complex, and I only want to run a single command.. | 06:50 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: oh, sorry, din't realize it came from the evil empire. i cannot touch it. | 06:50 |
| cryptodan | but that is where service scripts are ran from slixpk | 06:50 |
| rodney77 | Hi, I installed Wine today, and now when I insert an SD card into my computer, 'Resource Hacker' (reshack.exe) tries to run | 06:52 |
| rodney77 | does anyone know how I can disable this? | 06:53 |
| daftykins | maybe it's following autorun code on it | 06:53 |
| rodney77 | thanks for the reply, daftykins. There's no autorun code on the card | 06:54 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: I was hoping upstart made writing services easier. | 06:54 |
| daftykins | rodney77: had you installed said program with wine then? you know there's also a wine channel? | 06:55 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: the service command I believe only checks /etc/init.d/ and goes from there | 06:55 |
| rodney77 | daftykins, I didn't install the program. I will ask in the wine channel. Is it just #wine? | 06:55 |
| daftykins | #winehq i believe | 06:55 |
| daftykins | i sincerely doubt 'resource hacker' materialised onto your non-Windows system ;) | 06:56 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: check Removable Drives and Media and see what options are there | 06:56 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, I'm not sure I understand | 06:58 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: what desktop environment are you running? | 06:58 |
| rodney77 | I can see my SD listed in the sidebar as being mounted | 06:58 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, unity | 06:59 |
| PaulVern | I love the snippets manager plugin in gedit. Other than that, I only used vim. | 07:00 |
| PaulVern | Is there a way I can get gedit to open, with the snippets manager already open? | 07:00 |
| PaulVern | any flag like gedit --snippets ? | 07:00 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: do you have in system settings something called Removable Media? | 07:01 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, no | 07:01 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: can you take a screenshot of your settings? | 07:02 |
| slixpk | I'm trying to start the service with initctl, but if I run status on it immediately after, it says it's stopped/waiting. I've already checked that the syntax is correct. | 07:03 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, http://snag.gy/LoJA5.jpg | 07:04 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: you are missing that option to tell the system what to do when you insert something | 07:05 |
| rodney77 | hmm | 07:05 |
| rodney77 | ok I have an executable on the card | 07:07 |
| rodney77 | and it's trying to autorun it | 07:07 |
| rodney77 | there's no autorun.ini | 07:07 |
| rodney77 | but deleting this will almost certainly fix my problem | 07:07 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: check to see if hidden files are viewable | 07:08 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, all that was hidden was trash | 07:09 |
| rodney77 | i deleted it and the exes | 07:09 |
| roy_ | hello | 07:10 |
| ashlee | hi, my ~/.ssh/ permissions keep changing | 07:10 |
| ashlee | i set it to 600 | 07:10 |
| ashlee | but then after a while some files are 644 | 07:10 |
| ashlee | and i can’t login | 07:10 |
| slixpk | After looking into it further, dmesg reports that my main process is ending instantly. However, I just executed the part in "exec" manually, and it worked without complaint. So I'm not sure why upstart is failing to run it. | 07:12 |
| cryptodan | rodney77: you need to find the place to change what to do when you insert a USB Drive | 07:12 |
| OerHeks | ashlee, 700 for ~/.ssh/ and 600 for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys | 07:13 |
| rodney77 | cryptodan, I removed the exes and the card mounted just fine, so it's doing what I want it to do now | 07:13 |
| rodney77 | thanks | 07:13 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: what about this Telekast, it looks to be linux :: http://sourceforge.net/projects/telekast/?source=typ_redirect | 07:14 |
| ashlee | OerHeks: yeah that’s what it’s set to, but if i try and login i get promted for a password | 07:14 |
| ashlee | debug1: Roaming not allowed by server | 07:14 |
| slixpk | Is there any reason an upstart "script" area would immediately fail, but running the same script via bash or whatever would succeed? | 07:21 |
| OerHeks | mikubuntu, might work, xulrunner | 07:21 |
| slixpk | I'm having trouble debugging this because upstart doesn't say why my script exits, and running the same thing in my shell works correctly. | 07:21 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: dpaste.com the file | 07:23 |
| mikubuntu | OerHeks: could you help me install the telekast for testing? :: (i downloaded the tar.gz already) :: http://sourceforge.net/projects/telekast/?source=typ_redirect | 07:24 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: http://dpaste.com/0B9E35C | 07:24 |
| cryptodan | slixpk: there is no exec before the screen line | 07:26 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: Added it, http://dpaste.com/0NHYY4W . But I still get that error over and over again before upstart gives up. | 07:27 |
| cryptodan | remove the script lines | 07:28 |
| slixpk | cryptodan: I had that before, but it was also erroring. | 07:29 |
| cryptodan | weird | 07:31 |
| slixpk | Oh well. I'll keep looking for solutions. Thanks cryptodan. | 07:34 |

| cfhowlett | linux_noob_buntu, you break it, you fix it ... | 08:16 |
| linux_noob_buntu | I asked for PPA, it would be very helpful to get that. On arch its as easy as pacman -S truecrypt, I'm looking for 7.1a thanks. | 08:17 |
| suzanne__ | ben64_, hello? | 08:17 |
| suzanne__ | he just quit... :? | 08:17 |
| wub_wub | linux_noob_buntu, I doubt you'll find any official or well maintained ppas as truecrypt is not considered safe to use because the development is no longer active and it may contain unfixed security issues. | 08:18 |
| Hecter | cfhowlett : I was following this | 08:18 |
| Hecter | http://askubuntu.com/questions/109404/how-do-i-install-latest-php-in-supported-ubuntu-versions-like-5-4-x-in-ubuntu-1 | 08:18 |
| Hecter | my php version was 5.3.10 | 08:18 |
| suzanne__ | truecrypt is still useful. | 08:18 |
| Hecter | how do i revert even the apache2? | 08:18 |
| linux_noob_buntu | I don't care if it has bugs, I need it, OK? | 08:19 |
| wub_wub | first google result: https://launchpad.net/~stefansundin/+archive/ubuntu/truecrypt | 08:19 |
| cfhowlett | Hecter, right. you asked for revert from an upgrade. not doable in ubuntu. you can only reinstall the previous install. to install a specific app, you need to install that app number, e.g. sudo apt-get install thisname3.1.1 | 08:19 |
| lifek | just boot 14.04 successfully after installed on hdv but needed to set "nomodeset" or get empty screen, howto here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132, thanks sacarlson, EriC^^ | 08:19 |
| suzanne__ | are you wanting someone to do it for you or instruct you on the process ? linux_noob_buntu | 08:20 |
| linux_noob_buntu | wub_wub: yes, I've seen this one, I just came here to double confirm (see what community uses) | 08:20 |
| linux_noob_buntu | wub_wub: thank you | 08:20 |
| wub_wub | I don't use it and I don't recommend it, so if you want that perhaps wait for someone else to respond. | 08:21 |

| Abhijit | hi | 08:22 |

| corey84- | truecrypt is better than bitlocker but its still trash imo | 08:22 |
| Abhijit | how to install libffi5 in 12.04? apt-cache only lists versios 6 | 08:22 |
| Guest46712 | i cannot dual boot my unbuntu along side xp | 08:22 |
| situ_ | not recommended for production it has bugs | 08:22 |
| linux_noob_buntu | corey84-: well, its the only cross platform solution thats production ready and easy to use | 08:22 |
| corey84- | Guest46712, sure can what issue/error | 08:22 |
| suzanne__ | its a question guys, | 08:23 |
| Abhijit | Guest46712, if thats a question, then yes you can dual boot. | 08:23 |
| corey84- | linux_noob_buntu, nope luksFormat OPENED and ntfs will take win its a royal pita tho | 08:23 |
| linux_noob_buntu | besides, I use it in combination with filevault2/luks encrypted drivers, so its fine | 08:23 |
| Guest46712 | i installed ubuntu first no problem there then installed xp over the drive this erased ubuntu now if i try to install ubuntu it doesnot detect xp os and asks if it can install over the entire 160gb harddrive? | 08:24 |
| _10bag | partition the drive. you shouldn't be using xp though | 08:24 |
| suzanne__ | if your wanting some thing to keep your lil bro out of your computer then go with it, if your in a production -ish area then there maybe others that are better[you pay for them] | 08:24 |
| suzanne__ | linux_noob_buntu, | 08:25 |
| Guest46712 | i can partition it but it does not DETECT THE PARTITION | 08:25 |
| _10bag | okay mate CALM DOWN | 08:26 |
| linux_noob_buntu | suzanne__: I use it for passwords/bitcoin wallets and stuff. So my setup is luks + truecrypt file, so its 2x encrypted. so if one is flawed, there is still other. any better setups? | 08:26 |
| Guest46712 | right | 08:26 |
| suzanne__ | Guest46712, please rename yourself so the open chat can have a easier time chatting with your | 08:26 |

| ubottu | Guest46712: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. | 08:27 |
| suzanne__ | linux_noob_buntu, yeah get a fast ssd when your doing this stuff. [best throughtput,on seperate drive] | 08:28 |

| vlt | Hello. I have two Ubuntu machines (12.04 LTS). One has no keyboard or mouse but a screen, the other no screen but keyboard and mouse. I have ssh access to both of them. How can I configure the headless one to forward every key stroke and mouse to the other machine right after booting? And how to tell the other to accept the remote control commands? | 08:29 |
| suzanne__ | linux_noob_buntu, do you have a sdd just for this appicaltion? | 08:29 |
| _10bag | actually i think i tell a lie...what i did was install xp first and used that to partition the drive. i can't remember the exact process though, sorry | 08:29 |
| Guest46712 | still there | 08:29 |
| vlt | (They can reach each other via ipv4.) | 08:29 |

| memand | What I want to do is make a script or maybe even a qt program that can send/receive signals from/to the controller as to change the colors of the buttons as I'd like | 08:32 |
| suzanne__ | well give me a sec im googling stuff linux_noob_buntu | 08:33 |

| suzanne__ | what is your setup linux_noob_buntu as is? | 08:34 |
| linux_noob_buntu | what do you mean? | 08:35 |
| wub_wub | memand, ok - so the suggestion is to wait until the bug is resolved? | 08:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | memand: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo | 08:35 |
| memand | Chuck_Norris: Nice, I guess I can then choose to output CS to the midi controller somehow ? | 08:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | memand: i know nothing about that topic xD | 08:36 |
| suzanne__ | linux_noob_buntu, i just gtting a feel for your set up. so with the infomation, can help me google | 08:36 |
| memand | wub_wub: Since I do not know the exact issue you are having, it's quite hard to give a proper answer... But generally, yes... Don't mess with the kernel unless you know what you are doing | 08:37 |
| Chuck_Norris | memand: i just search some stuff :p but i can't remember the name of the best open source program for midi -.- | 08:37 |

| memand | _10bag: not yet, but it looks like they are working on implementing the functionality I want in my program of choice (QLC+) so I where hoping I could script my way to a "quick" fix until they implement it fully in QLC | 08:41 |
| wub_wub | corey84-, it'll probably crash my gpu again so just give me a second to close my stuff so I can try it out | 08:41 |

| memand | Chuck_Norris: trust me, it was not easy to find | 09:06 |
| corey84- | apt policy google-chrome* gives 37 38 or 39 ? | 09:06 |
| corey84- | wub_wub, ^ | 09:06 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! gtg, cya memand - cya * | 09:06 |
| wub_wub | corey84-, uhm... invalid command. Chrome version is 38 if that's the info you need | 09:07 |
| corey84- | wub_wub, chrome://flags and enable webGL FIRST before a kernel upgrade then reload chrome (it will give button on bottom left) | 09:08 |
| suzanne__ | linux_noob_buntu, ......................... | 09:09 |
| wub_wub | corey84-, I should try running chrome with webgl enabled or should I do it just before kernel upgrade but upgrade regardless | 09:11 |
| corey84- | BEFORE and if still wonky run upgrade and recheck for improve | 09:12 |
| corey84- | make sure you hit ENABLE NOT disable there are BOTH in chrome:flags | 09:12 |
| corey84- | chrome;//flags * | 09:13 |

| wub_wub | Hey corey84- thank you very much for your help, but I think I'm probably better of running something like debian stable - which din't have these issues. | 09:21 |
| Abhijit | wub_wub, it will have another set of issues! | 09:22 |
| corey84- | ^^ | 09:22 |
| wub_wub | Abhijit, no it wont. At least not right now | 09:22 |
| * Abhijit prays for wub_wub | 09:22 | |
| wub_wub | I'm pretty sure this is an kernel, not x/ubuntu issue, however debian uses older but more stable version which as far as I know doesn't have these issues. And in the end I just need my OS to run 3-4 apps daily without any issues I think debian can handle that :) | 09:24 |

| Abhijit | Ben64, the apport maxreport error first occured while installing the bigbluebutton. after that its there everywhere. | 10:03 |
| Ben64 | yeah, and that repository is for lucid | 10:03 |

| Dave666 | Hi, Does anyone know how to disable apparmor? It's causing issues with mysql and even stopping the process still leaves stuff hanging about. Does it need to be uninstalled? | 10:05 |

| Abhijit | sallu29, /j | 10:08 |
| sallu29 | thanks | 10:08 |
| trijntje | Dave666: I'm pretty sure plenty of people use mysql with apparmor, so its probably better to leave apparmor alone and figure out whats going wrong with mysql | 10:09 |
| Dave666 | trijntje: Yeah the problem is that it can't write out the results of queries to files as apparmor blocks it. So reporting wasn't working (we dump out results as csv). I've removed apparmor now and it's working :) | 10:11 |
| soman | Why is files on desktop is removed slowly? When I press 'del' about 5 sec I cannot select any other icon, then file is deleted. How can I diagnose the problem? Linux 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux (Xubuntu 14.04.1) | 10:17 |

| jpic | hi all, how to make apt install mysql but **not** start it ? thanks | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | jpic, apt starts NO applications except apt | 11:10 |
| sacarlson | jpic: how about just kill it after you install it | 11:11 |
| voidDotClass | Hey guys, so I'm using an outdated version of ubuntu on one of my machines, and my apt-get install no longer works, gives 404 errors like: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/android-tools/android-tools-adb_4.1.1+git20120801-1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80] | 11:11 |
| voidDotClass | is it possible to fix these links without having to re-install the distro? | 11:12 |
| jpic | cfhowlett: when i install the percona package, it will try to start the server | 11:12 |
| jpic | sacarlson: because it is already going to setup the datadir in the default location ... | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | jpic, not due to apt = package manager not package launcher | 11:13 |
| === Snowstormer is now known as Guest14428 | ||

| voidDotClass | can someone pastebin their copy of /etc/apt/sources.list please? | 11:13 |
| sacarlson | cfhowlett: apt-get I think can indeed start apps after install as my package I wrote does | 11:14 |
| jpic | voidDotClass: here's a minimal one: http://dpaste.com/134QN8N | 11:14 |

| cfhowlett | voidDotClass, you can build a source.list here: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php | 11:15 |
| voidDotClass | i'm trying to replace this one: http://pastebin.com/iSG3Pe7Q | 11:16 |
| sacarlson | jpic: I guess what you want is to just get all the dependancies then including the deb file and not install it | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | voidDotClass: quantal is no longer supported, you need to upgrade to a supported release | 11:17 |
| geirha | !quantal | voidDotClass | 11:17 |
| ubottu | voidDotClass: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on May 16th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/quantal | 11:17 |
| jpic | sacarlson: i don't think i understand .. | 11:17 |
| geirha | voidDotClass: If you want to upgrade to a supported version, you have to switch to old-releases, upgrade to 13.10, then upgrade to 14.04 | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | jpic: you want the files for mysql to install it later I guess | 11:18 |
| holden87 | hi there ubuntuers. Does anyone please know where i can set/change the fonts for notifyosd? | 11:18 |
| jpic | sacarlson: but the install is going to create the user which i need though | 11:19 |
| sacarlson | jpic: so DON"T install it just get the dependancies and deb files and install it when you want | 11:19 |
| geirha | voidDotClass: The steps are explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 11:19 |
| sacarlson | jpic: then create the user manualy? option 2 modifiy the deb file so it stops install at the point you want | 11:20 |
| jpic | i see, i'm in a world of pain, thanks for answering though ;) | 11:21 |
| sacarlson | jpic: deb files are just made up of simple scripts you can change them as you desire | 11:22 |
| jpic | i understand i can fork the scripts and rebuild the package just to be able to install without automatic server start, thanks ! | 11:23 |
| jpic | sacarlson: what do you think about this way ? https://major.io/2014/06/26/install-debian-packages-without-starting-daemons/ | 11:26 |

| bdbit | Is partition encryption broken in the 14.10 installer? When trying to manually setup partitions ('/boot', unused & encrypted root '/') in either Kubuntu 14.10 or Linux Mint 17 (same installer, it seems), the "physical partition for encryption" option for the third partition doesn't work ("unable to create key file") | 11:48 |
| bdbit | I discovered that the "ubiquity" installer seems to call "partman" as it's partition tool and tried to create my partition setup there | 11:49 |
| viejotren | is there anyway to use a generic video driver in 14.04? I have a lot of problem with the propietary one | 11:50 |
| bdbit | in "partman", in Linux Mint 17 it doesn't work, in Kubuntu 14.10 it works, but I have to repeat the partitioning in the graphical installer and it fails at the same point :( | 11:50 |
| hateball | viejotren: for what chipset | 11:51 |
| russian_ulysses_ | Hi all. I have fairly plain desktop Ubuntu 10.04, w/o any significant customizations, running proprietary nvidia video drivers. Is it ok to upgrade dist 10.04->12.04->14.04 using plain 'apt-get update/dist-upgrade' instead of 'sudo do-release-upgrade'? | 11:52 |
| bazhang | russian_ulysses_, server? | 11:52 |
| Deepfriedice | russian_ulysses_: For a four year jump, I'd just do a fresh install. | 11:53 |
| viejotren | russian_ulysses: I did an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and I have sevral problems with my ati driver, be carefull even if you do a fresh install | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | russian_ulysses_, clean install might be better. dist-upgrade will NOT upgrade the distro versions. | 11:54 |
| === Raansu is now known as ShapeShifter499 | ||
| russian_ulysses_ | bazhang yes, it has server components, so I'd like upgrade path. I thought about removing X and Gnome before dist-upgrade, upgrading, then reinstalling X and XFCE 4.10 instead of Gnome | 11:55 |
| russian_ulysses_ | cfhowlett why dist-upgrade won't upgrade version? Say, I'll replace 'lucid' with 'trusty' in sources.list, then will do apt-get update? Won't it work? | 11:56 |
| cfhowlett | russian_ulysses_, you will find that process exponentially easier by following the !eolupgrade wiki | 11:57 |
| nagaraj | hi | 11:57 |

| russian_ulysses_ | IdleOne it's a bit strange (for me), because this is how debian recommends to do a upgrade (https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-process). I haven't done ubuntu upgrade for much longer, but thought same steps will do. | 12:05 |

| As4xk | Hi. I read (a while back) about a command that one use as a mutex to prevent multiple instances of a script.

| vlt | Hello. I have two Ubuntu machines (12.04 LTS). One ("remote") has no keyboard or mouse but a screen, the other ("local") no screen but keyboard and mouse. They are connected via ipv4 and I have ssh access to both of them. How can I configure the local headless one to forward every key stroke and mouse to the other machine right after booting? And how to tell the other to accept the remote control commands? | 13:31 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I'm trying to create a setup of sda1=/boot, sda2=unassigned (dual boot), sda3=encrypted / (root) | 13:32 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: and you think that's never been done before? | 13:32 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: sometime easer not to reinvent the wheel | 13:33 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I'd like sda3 to be an encrypted LUKS partition. the partition manager provides the option "physical volume for encryption", like here: http://www.hecticgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Entering-values-for-the-encrypted-main-partition.jpg | 13:33 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: but the dialog is different, there are no password fields | 13:33 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: I have some references of scripts that setup luks encryption but not on root | 13:33 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I'm trying to do it through the installer, without any external scripts, because it offers the option | 13:34 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: but it seems the installer is broken in that it doesn't provide the GUI fields for some of the input values that its backend needs | 13:34 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: of course I think that's been done before, that's why I'm wondering :-) | 13:35 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: the option is explicitly available in the installer, but it seems to be broken in some way | 13:35 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: standard stock ubuntu installer supports encrypted root? I've seen articles on doing it some time back | 13:36 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: as far as I understood it from web searches, it should, since about 12.10 | 13:37 |
| aljosa | any ppa available w/ updated bluez packages? need better bluetooth support and bluez 5.25 solves a bunch of problems | 13:37 |

| lancelot_of | k1l_, if i search for linux-image through apt i get linux-image-generic-lts-trusty (and related packages) and linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic (and related pkgs). Which one should i install according to you? | 13:37 |
| k1l_ | lancelot_of: what is "lsb_release -d"? | 13:37 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I did the same setup for my own machine in Arch linux manually. But I'd like the installer to do this for me in this case because it's a setup for another person who is completely new to Linux and an amateur computer user | 13:38 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: I'll find you an article of encryted boot to get you started | 13:38 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I can do it by hand again, but I'm afraid it will break on next update :( | 13:39 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: you can create a custom iso modified ubuntu that makes an encrypted root for your friend, I think that would be cool too | 13:39 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: ya updates to kernel won't be out of the box working unless you add some other scripting | 13:40 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: I can help you make a custom iso that will do that | 13:40 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I also managed to do this in Ubuntu with the command line installer, it was version 10.10 I think | 13:41 |
| lancelot_of | k1l_, Description:Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS | 13:41 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: ya that was the only one that I know back then that supported luks | 13:41 |
| k1l_ | lancelot_of: the "linux-image-generic" package should provide the latest official kernel, which is the 3.13.0.39 | 13:41 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: hmm I'd like to keep things really easy for this machine. I'll rather use the hard disk password (even though I think it's less secure) in case I don't get this working the "stock" way | 13:42 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: but now I think the standard desktop has luks option by default | 13:42 |
| lancelot_of | k1l_, ok, so image, headers and linux-firmware pckgs, right? | 13:43 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: I had crazy passwords system that I get from the web at boot so no human needed to be there to get it to work but could still be disabled remotely | 13:44 |
| k1l_ | lancelot_of: yes. the latest official stuff | 13:44 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: Unfortunately the people at #ubuntu-installer don't seem to be able to respond to my problem | 13:45 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: I really suspect it's just a minor glitch in the way the installer is pieced together | 13:45 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: because it works in "partman" (which is being called by ubiquity installer as far as I understand) | 13:45 |
| bdbit | sacarlson: sadly, the error message is totally non-informative | 13:46 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: well document what you did and we might simulate it in virtualbox to see what we see | 13:48 |
| sacarlson | bdbit: no need to bother people here with the details | 13:49 |

| adaccada | and I have to reboot | 14:11 |
| adaccada | Is this a known issue? | 14:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | !info tmux | adaccada | 14:12 |

| adaccada | Chuck_Norris, well unity is crashing, sory for the bogus | 14:13 |
| adaccada | not screen | 14:13 |
| adaccada | unity or xorg | 14:14 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! ok, adaccada amd? | 14:15 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: what dies the logs say about that? | 14:15 |
| k1l_ | *what do the logs say | 14:15 |
| adaccada | Chuck_Norris, its a intel cpu and a nvidia chip | 14:16 |
| adaccada | Lenovo T410 | 14:16 |
| adaccada | k1l_, where can I find the log if I may ask? | 14:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | adaccada: privative driver? | 14:16 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: any 3rd party stuff? PPAs, .deb packages, drivers from website? | 14:16 |
| carlgo11_ | Hi I'm trying to install Ubuntu along with Windows on my desktop. I'm using a seperate disk for Ubuntu. However I use Raid for Windows and Ubuntu can't seem to see that. Is it safe to install without loosing the option to boot Windows? | 14:16 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: in /var/log/ and then syslog and dmesg. if there was a reboot you need to look at the one with the number , but th lowest one | 14:17 |
| adaccada | Chuck_Norris, the standard one that ships with ubuntu. There is no crash with the nvidia proprietray driver tough. I trid that out alreaady | 14:17 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: is it a hybrid video card? | 14:17 |
| adaccada | k1l_, which file holds the information about that? | 14:18 |
| adaccada | I can gist it | 14:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | adaccada: well cause i was about to recommend you nvidia's privative driver -.- | 14:18 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: lspci | 14:18 |
| k1l_ | if it names one or two vga devices | 14:18 |
| adaccada | Chuck_Norris, Yeah but there are other issues with that one like mouspad scrolling not wokring and also some FN keys | 14:19 |
| adaccada | k1l_, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/de2c3bdcd348c5739d6f | 14:19 |
| carlgo11_ | Chuck_Norris: Maybe you know the answer to my question? | 14:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: didn't read it -.- | 14:22 |
| Chuck_Norris | adaccada: may be you could try another desktop like xfce o lxde and keep using nouveau, just a suggest -.- | 14:22 |
| carlgo11_ | Chuck_Norris: want me to repost it? Or do you see it? | 14:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: yes please :p | 14:23 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: ok, seems like its not a hybrid card (not a intel/nvidia hybrid). so i would suggest to see the logs as mentioned what happend before the restart) | 14:23 |
| carlgo11_ | Chuck_Norris: "I'm trying to install Ubuntu along with Windows on my desktop. I'm using a seperate disk for Ubuntu. However I use Raid for Windows and Ubuntu can't seem to see that. Is it safe to install without loosing the option to boot Windows?" | 14:23 |
| adaccada | Chuck_Norris, I could do that yeah. But better would be to find out what is wrong and fix it :) | 14:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: i never used raid but... i think grub will detect your windows instalation | 14:25 |
| carlgo11_ | It says it can't find any other os when I open the installation application tho. | 14:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: may be it is a uefi bios -.- | 14:27 |
| k1l_ | carlgo11_: what gives you a "sudo fdisk -l"? | 14:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | better is, sudo parted -l -.- it will show (gpt partitions) | 14:28 |

| carlgo11_ | http://pastebin.com/spkuL5HM | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | hey lapion | 14:30 |
| lapion | you know what the runlevel is for system recovery ? | 14:30 |
| adaccada | k1l_, I'm not sure but I thik this was the time when it crashed: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7f820fdd2a22cacac5f2 | 14:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: what is in the ssd ? | 14:33 |
| carlgo11_ | Nothing. It's new | 14:33 |
| adaccada | k1l_, yes that is the last that was logged shortly before or during the crash | 14:33 |
| k1l_ | adaccada: i dont know just from that 2 lines. but i would say ou can try to run the nvidia driver from the repos: nvidia-current or the nvidia-331 one | 14:33 |
| lapion | find grep single | 14:33 |
| lapion | oops..wrong keyboard | 14:33 |
| lapion | darned bluetooth keyboards | 14:33 |
| adaccada | k1l_, yeah but with that i have problems then with FN keys and with the mouspad and also a weird bug that does not allow me to login with the password anymore when the pc went to sleep | 14:34 |
| k1l_ | hmm | 14:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: ok, and you are trying to install ubuntu in that ssd right? | 14:35 |
| carlgo11_ | Chuck_Norris: yup | 14:35 |
| random9090 | disconnect() | 14:36 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: well, that ssd it's gpt so, you need to create a gpt partition in you pendrive "sandisk" to be able to install ubuntu in there | 14:36 |
| lapion | init 1 gets me to a sinlge user mode however then I do not get the recovery menu.. | 14:37 |
| lapion | I know I am spoiled.. | 14:37 |
| carlgo11_ | hm | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | lapion, why don't want to reboot into the recovery kernel? | 14:38 |
| carlgo11_ | okay time to switch back to windows. I'll be back if I don't get ubuntu to work | 14:38 |
| Chuck_Norris | carlgo11_: ok | 14:39 |
| basichash | Is it possible to add some key bindings to ubuntu to control spotify? | 14:39 |
| Chuck_Norris | bashy: surely ubuntu has a webapp for spotyfy | 14:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i have a weird situation, i have dual monitors and when I start up a fresh install of xubuntu 14.04 after installing the nvidia driver despite my xorg.conf being correct (meaning 1 monitor is at 0,0 and the other is at +1920,0) nvidia-settings still thinks there's a 1920 wide monitor in between the my 2 real monitors | 14:40 |
| lapion | BluesKaj, well some servers do not have remote kvm.. | 14:40 |
| hateball | basichash: by default it should work with your media keys if you have them. otherwise it supports dbus so you can send commands that way | 14:41 |
| basichash | hateball: unfortunately my laptop doesn't have media keys. How can I get it working with dbus? | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | lapion, well you could have mentioned that it's a server ..sorry no idea how | 14:43 |
| hateball | basichash: with some scripting. here is a good resource https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/spotify | 14:43 |
| lapion | BluesKaj, well it is not a server but a remote desktop | 14:44 |
| basichash | thanks | 14:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | here's my nvidia-settings as well as the bottom half of the xorg.conf that nvidia-xconfig created. Can anyone suggest what to do besides creating a xrandr script to correct it? http://gyazo.com/02f9627d2e2c525799bb807e82edb10a | 14:47 |
| ntz | hello | 14:50 |
| ntz | I'm addressing the issue of one customer having ubuntu .. I don't have ununtu myself so please that's why I am asking .. how do I restart one particular interface when the etc/network/interfaces files is used (no NM) ? the interface name is in this case ppp0 | 14:51 |
| ntz | ? ifdown ppp0; ifup ppp0 | 14:51 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, yes, that should work. you would probably need sudo though | 14:52 |
| ntz | s/files// | 14:52 |
| === NoahYdr is now known as NoahYdr|Eating | ||
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: sure, thanks | 14:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, actually sorry, it's sudo ifconfig ppp0 down | 14:52 |
| ntz | it won't be ran from the user but from cron under some circumstances | 14:52 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: oh, I need to reload a etc/network/interfaces part related to ppp0 .. ip l set ppp0 down; ip l set ppp0 up; just puts up and down that iface | 14:53 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, i just tested it on my machine. this worked sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 14:54 |
| ntz | similarly, I'd do it like that in el* having ifcfg-XXX files. | 14:54 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: 1) ifconfig is dead relict 2) it doesn't reload that interface according to its static configuration | 14:55 |
| ntz | doing `service network restart' (iirc ubu has service command) is what I want but it is too aggresive | 14:55 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, debian still chooses to stick with ifconfig instead of ip not sure why | 14:55 |
| ntz | I'd like to ubu-friendly restart only that one interface eg ppp0 | 14:55 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: can you please verify if my proposed method works ? | 14:57 |
| ntz | I've already found somewhere that ifup and ifdown works in ubu | 14:57 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, i already tried sudo ifconfig eth0 down, it does work. what do you want me to test? | 14:57 |
| ntz | I only wanted to verify that in some current ubu (either 12.xx or 14.xx LTS) ifup/ifdown works as expected | 14:57 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, so you just want me to run sudo ifdown eth0? | 14:58 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: but you don't understand that putting down the iface and rotating its cfg are two completely different tasks | 14:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, yes i understand that | 14:58 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: no, really, no need to do it | 14:58 |
| ntz | I expected that like ubuntu user you can tell me strong "yes, it's like that" or "no, it's not like that" or "yes, but you should know that ...." | 14:59 |
| ntz | it's just a question, if you never did it you can't answer it | 14:59 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, i can tell you that ifdown does NOT work on my machine because there's no interface file for me. i use network-manager so instead of using ifdown and ifup, using the tool directly like sudo ifconfig eth0 down will work | 15:01 |
| ntz | thanks | 15:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | can anyone help me with my dual monitor issue please? i have 2 monitors and when i first started xubuntu it was mirroring my displays. i installed nvidia driver and used nvidia-xconfig and the xorg.conf looks correct BUT when I restart my machine it thinks there's a 1920 wide monitor in betweeen my 2 real monitors. | 15:02 |
| ntz | because nvidia blob sucks and can't use properly xrandr 1.2+ | 15:03 |
| ntz | and also it depends on what animosity you tell it to do :P | 15:03 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, ok, so i just need to add a xrandr script to fix it? | 15:03 |
| ntz | show use your xorg.conf.d content related to nvidia ? | 15:04 |
| === NoahYdr|Eating is now known as NoahYdr | ||
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: no, xrandr with nvidia blob (iirc) doesn't work reasonably | 15:04 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, ubuntu doesn't use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 15:04 |
| ntz | nvidia driver can't use xrandr 1.2+ (important, there is still xrandr 1, etc) properly | 15:04 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: of course it does but have it elswhere | 15:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/8920793/ | 15:05 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+xorg.conf.d&t=opensuse | 15:05 |
| ntz | so it's wrong .. don't use xorg.conf | 15:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, it's not wrong, i verified that with nvidia's own documentation on configuration | 15:06 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: kick out the metamodes line and your porblem will be gone | 15:06 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: dog shit on what nvidia says | 15:07 |
| ntz | you should have to use only what you want exctacted from nvidia config | 15:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, that is, what xorg.conf IS generated from nvidia-xconfig | 15:08 |
| ntz | i understand | 15:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, so just completely remove that metamodes line and that's it? | 15:08 |
| ntz | and you only need 3 lines of it instead of using some stupid nvidia generic defaults | 15:09 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: yeah, comment it out | 15:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, ok, be right back. restarting X | 15:09 |
| === soee_ is now known as soee | ||
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: check ubu xorg.conf.d and put probably two or three needed lines to apropriate file and send this nvidia generated xorg.conf to the dev/null | 15:09 |
| ntz | anyhow can any responsible adult from here answer my initial question (the reason why I am here): | 15:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, that was it. THANKS | 15:12 |
| ntz | I'm addressing the issue of one customer having ubuntu .. I don't have ununtu myself so please that's why I am asking .. how do I restart one particular interface when the etc/network/interfaces files is used (no NM) ? the interface name is in this case ppp0 | 15:12 |
| ntz | ? ifdown ppp0; ifup ppp0 | 15:12 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: that pre-genarated config as whole is bad and rather troublesome | 15:13 |
| ntz | really use only few lines of it what you need | 15:13 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: i'd start only with the section Device | 15:13 |
| ccapndave | Hey everyone - I have a super-simple server running on an Ubuntu VM, listening on port 3000. I can access it at localhost from the machine itself, but not at 10.10.10.30:3000 from the host machine. Other servers (apache on 80, postgres on 5432) work fine and netstat shows node listening on 0.0.0.0:3000. Does anyone have advice on how to debug? | 15:13 |
| ntz | iptables | 15:14 |
| ccapndave | I *think* its empty | 15:14 |
| lapion | hmm why is the screen fifo location hardcoded to be on the root filesystem. if you want to make a backup of the root fs while keeping the console freed you cannot | 15:14 |
| ntz | *think* != know != is :) | 15:14 |
| dexterity | I need to revamp my company's datacenter (multi UPS setup, master monitoring server). Where can I find some sources/info on how to do this best? | 15:14 |
| susundberg | ccapndave: try with tool that will surely work that nc -l -p 3000 | 15:14 |
| ccapndave | ntz: https://gist.github.com/ccapndave/0a588e7acc37f70f4587 | 15:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ccapndave: you can also nmap between machines to see whats happening | 15:15 |
| susundberg | (netcat to listen port 3000 on localhost) then redo the connection attempt from the host to nc <myiphere> 3000 -- if no connection then something is blocking the connection | 15:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ccapndave, can you use nmap? | 15:15 |
| ccapndave | nc has the same effect | 15:15 |
| ccapndave | ubuntuaddicted: I never heard of it, but sure | 15:16 |
| ccapndave | ubuntuaddicted: What do I do :) | 15:16 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nmap | ccapndave | 15:16 |

| susundberg | the nmap will do little help, it will just show the open ports IMHO | 15:16 |
| ntz | ccapndave: can you show me the unmodified output from `iptables-save -c' | 15:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ccapndave, from another computer run nmap -P0 10.10.10.30 | 15:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ccapndave, that will port scan that ip address | 15:16 |

| kenchow | ** | 15:16 |
| ntz | omg | 15:16 |
| lotuspsychje | -sV can be usefull for services aswell | 15:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ccapndave, should show you all the ports that are open and what's listening | 15:17 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: please, no input for a while | 15:17 |
| susundberg | ccapndave: that output is from the virtual machine you are trying to connect to ? | 15:17 |
| ccapndave | right | 15:17 |
| ntz | ccapndave: no, it's iptables | 15:18 |
| ccapndave | iptables on the virtual machine I am trying to connect to | 15:18 |
| ntz | ccapndave: you said they are empty | 15:18 |
| susundberg | ccapndave: thats dropping all input traffict excatly else than 22,80 and 443 ? | 15:18 |
| ccapndave | susundberg: It is? | 15:18 |
| ntz | but they are not ... just turn them temporarily down and check from remote machine that you can access a 10.10.10.30:3000 | 15:19 |
| susundberg | Well it sure looks like it | 15:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, i find it rather rude of you to ask me not to attempt to help another ubuntu user. more so in the way you asked me. maybe next time simply say, "this is a firewall issue, i'll help him" instead of telling me "no input for a while" | 15:19 |
| ccapndave | ubuntuaddicted: Here is the nmap output https://gist.github.com/ccapndave/74de524b723bf2bcafbc | 15:19 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: sorry, don't take it personal | 15:19 |
| susundberg | ccapndave: how did you create those firewall rules ? with some program ? | 15:19 |
| ccapndave | susundberg: Guess you are right :) | 15:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, i'm only saying you could've phrased your comment to me differently is all. | 15:19 |
| ccapndave | susundberg: I never touched them - I thought they were the default | 15:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ccapndave, it's a firewall issue and i'm not versed enough to help with that. good luck though | 15:20 |

| ccapndave | Ahhh | 15:21 |
| ccapndave | I see it now | 15:21 |
| ccapndave | multiport ports ssh, https, http | 15:21 |
| ntz | ccapndave: i already told you that's iptable issue .. just copy one rule from `iptables-save', change it to open port 3000, place before the last INPUT directive DROP and restart fw | 15:21 |
| ccapndave | oops | 15:21 |
| === martinh__ is now known as martinh_ | ||
| susundberg | ccapndave: yeah, INPUT chain is for "incoming traffic" and it ends up with "DROP packet" if "no rule matches" | 15:22 |
| ccapndave | susundberg: I see it now | 15:22 |
| ccapndave | susundberg: Its a vagrant box, so I guess someone has fiddled with it slightly before I got hold of it | 15:22 |

| f00dWorksta | hi I am having trouble updating ubuntu-docs after upgrading to 14.10 http://pastebin.com/F9Eb5XEa | 15:22 |
| funkt | Hi there I am having trouble connecting a second monitor and getting to recognise or even scale it to the right proportions. I have plugged in another monitor and it seems to work but it just will not recognise my monitor on a dual settings under nvida settings any ideas? | 15:23 |
| lotuspsychje | f00dWorksta: maybe a bleachbit cleanout might help? | 15:23 |
| ntz | ubuntuaddicted: and okay, if you feel touched without any reason I can give you one: please don't ask unmethodically (so no generic nmap against host - at least rather nmap -vv -sT -P0 host -p $some_port) for scanning things when you have to first check that 1) it runs, 2) nothing is hindering its run (selinux, iptables) | 15:24 |
| f00dWorksta | lotuspsychje: already done so | 15:24 |
| ntz | ccapndave: no, that's pretty usual setup | 15:24 |
| f00dWorksta | lotuspsychje: ok i feel dumb, I just removed the package and installed it again and it works haha | 15:24 |
| susundberg | yeah i also agree -- what kind of solution is "just run nmap" if he just had tried that nc wont go trough .. | 15:24 |
| pbx | funkt, Displays settings doesn't offer the resolution choices you want? | 15:24 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | f00dWorksta | 15:24 |
| ubottu | f00dWorksta: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:24 |
| ccapndave | ntz I guess I just kind of assumed the firewall came empty | 15:25 |
| funkt | no they dont i have also tried to set modes in xrandr and that is not working either | 15:25 |
| ntz | ccapndave: there is just firewall having that configuration, so don't break anything and add there a rule similar to one opening 80 but for tcp 3000 | 15:25 |
| ccapndave | ntz: Just changed and restarted, trying it out now | 15:25 |
| ccapndave | etc/iptables2/rules.v4 right? | 15:26 |
| ntz | ccapndave: if in doubts, show us please an `iptables-save -c' | 15:26 |

| ccapndave | ntz susundberg: Thanks a lot :) I learnt something today | 15:26 |
| ntz | ccapndave: frankly, I don't know, I don'[t have buntu. I came here to also ask question (yet unaswered) so maybe I need to work it out | 15:26 |
| ccapndave | ntz: What's the questions? | 15:27 |
| ntz | I'm addressing the issue of one customer having ubuntu .. I don't have ununtu myself so please that's why I am asking .. how do I restart one particular interface when the etc/network/interfaces files is used (no NM) ? the interface name is in this case ppp0 | 15:27 |
| ntz | ? ifdown ppp0; ifup ppp0 | 15:27 |
| ntz | ccapndave: ^^ nothing hard :D | 15:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntz, asking him to run a port scan against the host would provide a path to of troubleshooting, just because it's not the way you would do it doesn't make it any less effective. this is an open irc channel, telling others "how" to help someone is not your place in my opinion. | 15:27 |
| ccapndave | ntz: Right | 15:27 |

| pi94 | hello there, I'd like to install moodle on ubuntu. for that I need to install apache first, but then it says: | 15:35 |
| pi94 | Package apache is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 15:35 |
| pi94 | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 15:35 |
| pi94 | is only available from another source | 15:35 |
| pi94 | E: Package 'apache' has no installation candidate | 15:35 |
| lapion | pi94, apache2 | 15:35 |
| ubuntuaddicted | pi94, it's probably apache2 | 15:35 |
| sacarlson | pi94: also be sure to sudo apt-get update ; | 15:36 |
| pi94 | lapion, ubuntuaddicted, indeed, when I tried with apache2, it says that it is already installed | 15:36 |
| somsip | pi94: apache2 | 15:37 |
| dbugger | Hi guys. I was wondering if there is a way to know what kind of webserver is running on the machine? | 15:37 |
| ubuntuaddicted | pi94, ok, then what's the next issue? apparently you already have apache2 webserver installed. | 15:37 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, who's machine? | 15:37 |
| pi94 | for the same purpose, I also need to install mysql, but last time I installed it, I must have done sth wrong, because after that every time I installed a programme, the terminal gave an error message concerning mysql. | 15:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, ubuntu by default doesn't install any web server. | 15:38 |
| pi94 | so what would be the correct way to follow to install mysql? | 15:38 |
| somsip | pi94: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 15:38 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, my machine. I have started a VPS running GitLab (an image frommy provider), and I want to switch to SSL, so I need to know for what webserver im configuring | 15:38 |
| Simplar | hi, is anybody knowing c++ well enough here? I'd like to ask on how can I get a direct access to keyboard's driver using a c++. Thanks. | 15:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | pi94, mysql can be tricky. it's a database. you probably were getting an error because it wasn't allowing you to connect to the datebase as user root or as your user. what guide are you following? | 15:38 |
| sacarlson | dbugger: you can try ps -A ; or sudo netstat -pant | 15:39 |
| Jinxed- | I'm trying to setup a system with my host OS (Ubuntu) which is hosting multiple VMs. I would like my host OS to have access to the internet, but I would also like it to have a connection on my private VM LAN | 15:39 |
| Jinxed- | what would I need to do to make this possible | 15:39 |
| Jinxed- | I tried to enable a second NIC in virtualbox as host only, but that didn't seem to work | 15:39 |
| Jinxed- | I'm wondering if I need a loopback address or something in Ubuntu | 15:39 |
| Jinxed- | instead | 15:39 |
| pi94 | ubuntuaddicted, it is this guide: https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu | 15:39 |
| linelevel1 | Hi, my Ubuntu server's root partition just filled up with a large db, so I moved the db's data files to a new partition, and `rm -rf`'d the data directory... but `df -h` still shows my disk at 100% used. How do I get it to reflect the free space from the files I just removed? | 15:39 |
| dbugger | sacarlson, that did output something about nginx, so I guess that works. But if the config is not under /etc/nginx, where could it be? | 15:39 |
| pi94 | the guide says mysql-client needs to be installed, too | 15:40 |
| rberg_ | dbugger: look in /etc/nginx/sites-enable | 15:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, you could try which nginx | 15:40 |
| rberg_ | dbugger: look in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled | 15:40 |
| somsip | pi94: it'll be pulled in as a dependency when you install -server | 15:40 |
| pi94 | oh, ok, thank you somsip | 15:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | linelevel1, are you sure you mounted the new partition to the new folder you created? what does mount show? | 15:41 |
| dbugger | rberg_, as I said, "/etc/nginx" does not exist | 15:41 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, that didnt output anything | 15:41 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, which command? | 15:42 |
| linelevel1 | ubuntuaddicted: Yes, the mount worked fine, and that's irrelevant to the `rm -rf` command I issued. | 15:42 |
| === linelevel1 is now known as linelevel | ||
| pi94 | it seems to be a long list of eerie command lines (for me) ..anyone has experience installing moodle? | 15:42 |
| jimmy51v_ | i just had a broken package... linux-firmware-nonfree. It reported "half-installed". the usual tricks of `apt-get install -f`, `dpkg --configure -a` didn't work. specifically saying `apt-get install -f linux-firmware-nonfree` DID work. why did specifying the package help? i thought apt-get install -f fixed all broken dependencies? | 15:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | linelevel, what's the rm -rf command you raan (very dangerous NO ONE run this command please) | 15:42 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, "which nginx" didnt return anything | 15:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | pi94, i do not but i can honestly say that the only reason im comfortable with the command line is that i followed plenty of guides in my day. you just have to sit down and be patient and do them step by step. | 15:43 |
| somsip | dbugger: sudo netstat -tulpn | grep ":80" (will give you a possible hint) | 15:43 |
| linelevel | ubuntuaddicted: I ran `sudo rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/*` -- I can verify that the dir is now empty (whereas previously `du -sh` showed that it contained 22 GB). | 15:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, than it's not installed in your $PATH | 15:43 |
| sacarlson | Jinxed-: do you still want the virtual systems to also have internet access. that normaly the default | 15:43 |
| dbugger | somsip, that gave me that the port 80 is open with nginx, but not where it resides the config | 15:44 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, so how could I find it? | 15:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | linelevel, than you still have something that's using space on /, which is why i asked if mounting your partition really worked | 15:44 |
| somsip | dbugger: configs are installed in /etc by default, unless it's in a non-default location. So /etc/nginx | 15:44 |
| pi94 | ubuntuaddicted, sounds soothing, thank you :) | 15:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, sudo apt-cache search nginx | 15:44 |
| dbugger | somsip, Then it is in a non-default location. My question is how can I find it? | 15:45 |
| Marcel-Maze7 | linelevel: i dont read the hole conversation but have you tries purge ? | 15:45 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, that gave me some packages, but no locations | 15:45 |
| linelevel | ubuntuaddicted: I just deleted 22 GB from that dir, but `df -u` still shows only 5.5 MB (MB!) free. And yes, the mount worked, as I can verify with `mount` (also, I created the mountpoint with `-m 000` to prevent writing files without a mount). | 15:45 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, was there an i on the left hand column of the results? | 15:46 |
| linelevel | Marcel-Maze7: purge what? It's not a package, I deleted the contents of a data directory | 15:46 |
| sacarlson | dbugger: how did you install it? from there they must provide docs on how it is configured | 15:46 |
| somsip | dbugger: long way? sudo find / -iname "nginx*" but it will go through the whole HD | 15:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, sorry, i'm used to using aptitude. try sudo apt-cache show nginx | 15:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | linelevel, i'm saying that something is still using space. you need to find what. | 15:47 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, that gave me a loooot of output, but nothing on a location | 15:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, does it say it's installed | 15:48 |
| dbugger | sacarlson, I did not install it. It is a start image of my provider | 15:48 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, I do not see that info anywhere | 15:48 |
| sacarlson | dbugger: ic | 15:48 |
| somsip | dbugger: then maybe dpkg -L nginx | grep conf | 15:48 |
| Marcel-Maze7 | linlevel: you have broken | 15:48 |
| Marcel-Maze7 | dependencies, right? | 15:48 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, ok, let's back up here. you're trying to figure out what webserver you have on your machine right? are you sure you have a webserver running? | 15:49 |
| dbugger | ok guys. I think i found it. It is somehow embedded into gitlab. I found something about nginx on "/var/opt/gitlab/nginx" | 15:50 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, of course. I use the web of gitlab daily | 15:50 |
| sacarlson | ubuntuaddicted: yes dbugger knows he has nginx installed and running as seen in ps -A | 15:51 |
| dbugger | Apparently the image I am using has nginx somehow embedded into Gitlab... bizarre | 15:51 |
| Marcel-Maze7 | strange :D | 15:51 |
| dbugger | In any case, I should be able to turn on SSL from here... | 15:51 |
| dbugger | it is weird, because there is not even an sites-enabled folder. The structure is all different | 15:51 |
| dbugger | :P | 15:51 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dbugger, probably because gitlab has nginx pre-packeged with it to make it easy for people to deploy gitlab | 15:52 |
| dbugger | ubuntuaddicted, probably. Thanks for the help, guys! | 15:52 |

| linelevel | ubuntuaddicted: So, apparently my `rm -rf` didn't hit directories, nor did it throw an error... now I need to figure out why `sudo rm -rf /path/to/data/*` did not remove the directories in /path/to/data. | 16:05 |
| === Marcel-Maze7 is now known as Maze7 | ||
| jimmy51v_ | linelevel: didn't get a 'directory not empty' message? | 16:07 |

| linelevel | This makes no sense to me. | 16:10 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: to remove including dir sudo rm -rf /path/to/data ; if it didn't delete the files inside then the dir at that location might be mounted as read only | 16:11 |
| linelevel | sacarlson: It's not mounted as read-only, it's on my root partition, and I can verify via `mount`. Also, that would have thrown an error. | 16:11 |
| jimmy51v_ | linelevel: sudo -rm -rfv /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/* | 16:11 |
| jimmy51v_ | linelevel: if that doesn't work, try moving it | 16:12 |
| jimmy51v_ | sudo mv ./main ./main_copy | 16:12 |
| linelevel | jimmy51v_: I don't think you meant to put the - before rm | 16:12 |
| jimmy51v_ | yeah... sudo rm -rf | 16:12 |
| linelevel | jimmy51v_: And otherwise, your command is exactly what I ran originally. | 16:12 |
| linelevel | verbatim | 16:12 |
| jimmy51v_ | try moving it | 16:12 |
| linelevel | jimmy51v_: Moving the whole dir works fine. | 16:13 |
| jimmy51v_ | linelevel: ok. move it out somewhere. recreate empty dir | 16:13 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: can we see a paistbin of mount ? | 16:13 |
| linelevel | but I want to figure out why I can't remove it. I don't want to recreate the parent dir and its permissions.. that would work, but I'm more curious now as to why rm isn't doing anything | 16:14 |
| Chuck_Norris | linelevel: linelevel try: usermod -G postgresql ubuntu | 16:14 |
| linelevel | sacarlson: sure, coming up | 16:14 |
| Chuck_Norris | linelevel: then try remove those files | 16:14 |

| linelevel | Chuck_Norris: That won't work; I can become the `postgres` user with `sudo su postgres`, but I want to know why sudo can't do the rm... that's more important to me than getting it done at this point. | 16:17 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: I don't know what this mount value means discard?? /dev/xvda1 on / type ext4 (rw,discard) | 16:18 |
| maddawg | so i'm having an issue with the ftp command | 16:19 |
| linelevel | sacarlson: Not sure, AWS set that by default upon spinning up this instance. | 16:19 |
| linelevel | Chuck_Norris: It's also worth noting (maybe) that /var/lib/postgres is the home dir for the postgres user.. so I'm operating on a subdir thereof. | 16:19 |

| vlt | Hello. I have two Ubuntu machines (12.04 LTS). One ("remote") has no keyboard or mouse but a screen, the other ("local") no screen but keyboard and mouse. They are connected via ipv4 and I have ssh access to both of them. How can I configure the local headless one to forward every key stroke and mouse to the other machine right after booting? And how to tell the other to accept the remote control commands? | 17:12 |

| reisio | vlt: or any number of other VNC/RDP/ssh/X forwarding solutions | 17:14 |
| gnr | how can i present the real initiator ip to the web server?? | 17:14 |
| gnr | what i did was... iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 100.100.100.251 -j DNAT --to 172.31.254.251 | 17:14 |

| dmek | then get it through apt instead | 17:20 |
| dmek | because i can't understand why it doesn't work | 17:21 |
| reisio | that's what logs are for | 17:21 |

| jimmy51v_ | i just had a broken package... linux-firmware-nonfree. It reported "half-installed". the usual tricks of `apt-get install -f`, `dpkg --configure -a` didn't work. specifically saying `apt-get install -f linux-firmware-nonfree` DID work. why did specifying the package help? i thought apt-get install -f fixed all broken dependencies? | 17:33 |

| pi94 | hello there, I was following this guide for installing moodle on ubuntu: https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu | 17:35 |
| pi94 | and where I would have to insert this: default-storage-engine = innodb | 17:35 |
| pi94 | I pasted it in, but the arrow buttons on keyboard made the line slip down out of sight | 17:35 |
| pi94 | the arrow buttons typed A,B,C,D when I wanted to position the above line | 17:36 |
| pi94 | so now it is gone out of the screen, and cant bring it back | 17:36 |
| pi94 | any terminal guru please | 17:36 |
| pi94 | this is the vi editor, I guess, because the previous step was this: sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf | 17:37 |
| pi94 | I am not familiar with it, but it was required in this step | 17:38 |
| jimmy51v_ | !info colordiff | 17:38 |

| reisio | pi94: sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf is just editing a text file, as root | 17:40 |
| reisio | you can use any editor you like | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | vi ftw | 17:40 |
| reisio | arcane :p | 17:40 |
| reisio | go back to #bsd :p | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: its on every gnu compliant distro, so pays to learn it | 17:41 |
| reisio | gnu compliant, what? :p | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | :P | 17:42 |
| pi94 | reisio, yes, the terminal entered the edit mode, and then I pasted the required line, but then there were some empty spaces, and when I wanted to move up the added line with the arrow keys, they didnt move it up, but instead moved it down out of the screen, typing only A,B,C or D on a new line each time I pressed on any one of these arrow keys | 17:42 |
| jvwjgames | Chuck | 17:42 |
| reisio | are you talking about busybox's vi? | 17:42 |
| jvwjgames | what is that thing for that you pasted | 17:42 |
| reisio | pi94: use a text editor you're more familiar with instead of vi | 17:42 |
| Chuck_Norris | jvwjgames: ok, better do: gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/libdlrestrictions1.postinst | 17:43 |
| pi94 | reisio, I would have done that, but it was the way to do it in the guide..I guess it should be fine when I just open the file and add the line, right? | 17:43 |
| reisio | pi94: yes, for the third time | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jvwjgames: pastebinit | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jvwjgames: accepts text streams from bash too | 17:44 |
| jvwjgames | empty file | 17:44 |
| Chuck_Norris | jvwjgames: did you copied and pasted it? | 17:45 |
| pi94 | how do I exit the vi editor's edit mode? | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | pi94: press ESC | 17:46 |
| jvwjgames | it is an empty file chuck | 17:46 |
| Chuck_Norris | ok, then paste: locate libdl | 17:47 |

| excognac | hi all, is it possible to shrink/modify partitions without data loss using a 14.04 live dvd (kubuntu)? i tried it to google the answer, couldn't find any good. also on my previous attempts kparted failed to do it (none of partitions start/end on cylinder boundary) testdisk didn't find any serious trouble on my hdd | 17:55 |
| Chuck_Norris | jvwjgames: you got serius problems cause look at my output: http://i.imgur.com/OsffWOC.png there i got postscripts and everything | 17:55 |
| Chuck_Norris | jvwjgames: if you want we could try making that postscript but, i think i wouldn't help cause the problem is worst i think | 17:56 |
| reisio | excognac: it's possible, and even likely, but not 100% safe | 17:56 |
| excognac | reisio: ok, can you advice me a good guide? I think my hdd is screwed up to some extent (recently i rewrote the partition table), couldn't yet find the solution for the current problem, most websites said it's not a problem at all. | 17:58 |
| === g_ is now known as Guest99864 | ||
| jvwjgames | ok | 18:01 |
| jvwjgames | lets try | 18:01 |
| jvwjgames | and also what does a postscript do | 18:01 |

| e-dard | Hi, I know this may not be exactly on topic but I just created an EC2 instance with an EBS root disk (which I increased to 20GB) and the Ubuntu banner when i ssh in says “Usage of /: 9.7% of 7.74GB” | 18:02 |
| e-dard | But df -h says 20GB | 18:02 |
| e-dard | who is right? | 18:02 |
| e-dard | (ubuntu 14.04) | 18:02 |
| jvwjgames | ok | 18:03 |
| e-dard | I think the default AMI EBS disk is 8GB, but I don’t know if that means I only have 8GB of a 20GB disk free. Is there a way I can tell what the usable space on a disk is? | 18:03 |

| jvwjgames | ok done | 18:05 |
| Chuck_Norris | pi94: are setting up that server from an ssh? | 18:05 |
| pi94 | Chuck_Norris, this is the guide I am following: https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu | 18:06 |
| Chuck_Norris | jvwjgames: save the file, then close gedit | 18:06 |
| jvwjgames | ok i did | 18:06 |
| pi94 | Chuck_Norris, at step 7, it asks me to do so | 18:06 |
| Chuck_Norris | see if the problem (at this point didn't remember it :p) persists | 18:07 |

| pi94 | OerHeks, thank you. it worked when I inserted 'localhost' | 18:10 |

| ActionParsnip | k0nichiwa: software piracy is something we cannot support here. The guys in #apple or #macos may be able to help | 18:19 |
| k0nichiwa | so congratulations | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | k0nichiwa: thanks, took me long enough | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | k0nichiwa: or ask in #vbox | 18:19 |
| k0nichiwa | i dont think im asking here anymore am i ? | 18:20 |
| reisio | OerHeks: it is allowed :) | 18:20 |
| * k0nichiwa seems to have been silent for awhile, can't think of why action man brought the subject up again | 18:20 | |
| reisio | although not likely much to do with Ubuntu, if you do it the way it's allowed | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | k0nichiwa: your issue is with both MacOS and VirtualBox, not Ubuntu | 18:21 |

| potterapple | anyone? | 18:27 |
| reisio | OerHeks: that's right, as we said, you were wrong :p | 18:28 |
| Chuck_Norris | potterapple: gparted from a live cd | 18:28 |
| teward | OerHeks: reisio: he was right insomuch that the initial question was related to VBox / Ubuntu virtualization of OS X (implied or otherwise) | 18:29 |
| potterapple | Chuick_Norris thanks i just reduce the size and thats it right? | 18:29 |
| teward | oops, meant to CC OerHeks on that, was targetted to reisio | 18:29 |
| teward | :) | 18:29 |
| reisio | what? | 18:30 |
| OerHeks | reiastill no, i am right, as the Q is posted in #ubuntu , not in an apple support channel | 18:30 |
| OerHeks | err reisio ^^ | 18:30 |
| reisio | yes, and Ubuntu provides VM packages | 18:31 |
| teward | reisio: OerHeks was right that it's not permitted to virtualize in any OS other than Mac OS X or Apple Server, and only if the license you have permits it. It's not permitted, and against the EULA, to virtualize Mac OS X in a non-Mac environment | 18:31 |
| reisio | teward: yes indeed, he was wrong :p | 18:31 |
| Chuck_Norris | potterapple: yes it is, if you don't open heavy or too many programs at the same time and then hibernate, then you don't need more than 1 gb | 18:31 |
| teward | reisio: therefore, it's not permitted to virtualize Mac OS X in VBox in Ubuntu | 18:31 |
| OerHeks | ... | 18:31 |
| reisio | teward: sure it is, it's just unlikely | 18:31 |
| teward | reisio: the implication from OerHeks was, that because this is an #ubuntu channel, they're virtualizing in a non-Mac enviro, therefore E:NotPermitted | 18:32 |
| teward | but to not clutter this channel we can continue the discussion in -offtopic or elsewhere :) | 18:32 |
| reisio | implication? :p He said it was illegal :p | 18:32 |

| cultavix | anyone encounter this before? | 18:44 |
| reisio | usually you refer to an OS as a host, not a virtualization implementation | 18:44 |
| reisio | it probably doesn't like one of your arguments, though ;) | 18:44 |
| cultavix | reisio: sorry, I mean hypervisor :) | 18:45 |
| cultavix | reisio: well, its actually Ovirt | 18:45 |
| cultavix | I'm asking them as well if they know how I can get around this | 18:45 |

| dreampwnzor | hi. i have GTX 660 and for some reason in most of the games i have surprisingly bad performance even on the lowest settings possible (e.g. Counter Strike: Global Offensive and other steam games). I have 'nvidia' drivers from official repos and my 'powermizer' settings are 'maximum perfomance'... Maybe anyone has a clue why is it happening? Btw, i'm using ArchLinux, but i think i could get some help here on ubuntu channel :) | 19:07 |

| Pinkamena_D | SO I have been using ubuntu for a while and I never saw this happen. Just doing usual activities, the RAM use dropped from its usual 95% to about 50% and swap started going crazy and making chrome very slow. I have not messed with swapiness value. | 21:17 |
| jpic | jimmy51v_: not sure, our security guys keep messing with us | 21:17 |
| Pinkamena_D | anyone know why? | 21:17 |
| jpic | jimmy51v_: how to fix apt-get update ? | 21:18 |
| bubbasaures | Pinkamena_D, You gotta see whats running top or htop if installed. | 21:18 |

| bobbobbins | daftykins: awesome, thank you! | 21:20 |
| daftykins | guntbert: not my system. i am not the question asker. | 21:20 |
| bubbasaures | Pinkamena_D, Swapping on a spinning HD makes things rather slow to a crawl, on a ssd it is not noticeable in some swapping. | 21:20 |
| Pinkamena_D | chrome, compiz, and xorg are the top processes, nothing unisual there. What happened was that the ram use started filling back up to the top again, but then once more it just crashed down to 50%. Chrome must be taking near the threshold for swap but I dont understand why it would move so much at once. | 21:20 |
| guntbert | daftykins: sorry, I **know**, fat fingers :-) | 21:20 |
| Pinkamena_D | weird, but at least the system stays stable. =D | 21:21 |

| jimmy51v_ | jpic: although that's LTS so it should be good | 21:22 |
| jimmy51v_ | yeah | 21:22 |

| byork9 | sudo apt-get install dist-update | 21:44 |
| bubbasaures | diegoaguilar, That is basically not supported here, at least the kernel | 21:44 |
| bubbasaures | latest ubuntu tweaked is | 21:45 |
| diegoaguilar | becase it relates to linux in particular? | 21:45 |
| j4s0nmchr1st0s | jimmy51v_: How does one check the openssl version? | 21:45 |
| byork9 | whats ubuntu tweaked? | 21:45 |
| jimmy51v_ | j4s0nmchr1st0s: apt-cache policy openssl | 21:45 |
| bubbasaures | diegoaguilar, technically this channel is ubuntu release only. | 21:45 |
| nullpointer0x00 | opensshl version | 21:46 |
| nullpointer0x00 | openssl version | 21:46 |
| bubbasaures | byork9, Ubuntu like most linux distros tweak the kernels for their OS. | 21:46 |
| webdevb | OerHeks but how do I just update openssl... | 21:46 |
| byork9 | oh i thought you meant something else... a different distro than ubuntu | 21:47 |
| jimmy51v_ | nullpointer0x00: i think you mean `openssl --version` | 21:47 |
| jimmy51v_ | webdevb: assuming your ubuntu version is still supported... `sudo apt-get install openssl` | 21:48 |
| nullpointer0x00 | openssl:Error: '--version' is an invalid command. | 21:48 |
| byork9 | so whats the first thing i should be doing after installing ubuntu ... ive already installed flash the codecs and all that stuff... | 21:48 |

| bubbasaures | byork9, Whatever you want, would you ask that of a windows or apple user? | 21:49 |
| kostkon | webdevb, if you are up-to-date, you are fine | 21:49 |
| byork9 | ok let me narrow my question down... security wise... there isnt any avast here so.... what do you do for security.. viruses hacking etc | 21:49 |
| bubbasaures | !av | byork9 | 21:50 |
| ubottu | byork9: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 21:50 |
| timbo_ | I need to reinstall Ubuntu and tell it which partition was ROOT. I have ubuntu-vg-root that is 955220MB ext4 and dev/sda2 ext2 255MB. Which one should be installed as root? | 21:50 |
| byork9 | lol!! ok... i knew it was less prevalent just didnt know that there wa\snt | 21:50 |
| bubbasaures | byork9, Linux like any other is a user interface to the danger, safe practices is all you need and good passwords | 21:50 |
| byork9 | good to go... i know the danger of the command line... i accidently purged the desktop today accidently | 21:51 |
| byork9 | with 'sudo apt-get purge gnome*' | 21:52 |
| byork9 | oops | 21:52 |
| bubbasaures | byork9, Ah, the fun of first use, I wiped all kinds of stuff in the first 6 months. ;) | 21:52 |
| byork9 | so out of curiousity... why cant i keep my system as root? my android is root all the time... and i know they are brother and sister not the same... maybe im asking a stupid question | 21:53 |
| k1l | !root | byork9 | 21:53 |
| ubottu | byork9: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:53 |
| bubbasaures | byork9, Android is not root unless you root it. | 21:53 |
| bubbasaures | or buy it rooted | 21:54 |
| byork9 | lol... and thats what android is for.... ROOT | 21:54 |
| bubbasaures | byork9, Not really, root is exposure. | 21:54 |
| daftykins | byork9: ubuntu is wise and protects us from ourselves. | 21:54 |
| k1l | byork9: basically one of the security ideas is not to run with the loaded gun all the time, but use the root rights when you need it. so use sudo for and when you need it. | 21:54 |
| k1l | byork9: you are wrong. you dont run everything as root just because your device is "rooted" | 21:55 |
| bubbasaures | google play is a known issue with bad code | 21:55 |
| byork9 | lol... i wasnt literal kll.... | 21:55 |
| k1l | byork9: and even windows got to the idea not to be the full power user all the time but to ask when the permissions are needed | 21:56 |
| byork9 | ok... thankyou for the information... have a good day | 21:57 |

| marchelzo_ | hi. How can I get version 4.9.* of gcc in ubuntu 13.10? | 22:44 |
| ZerOlegend | i missed the first + the first time i wrote it | 22:45 |
| k1l | ZerOlegend: oh sorry. misread that control. | 22:45 |
| ZerOlegend | i tested it before I wrote it to be 100% sure to not give bad information | 22:45 |
| EriC^^ | !info gcc saucy | 22:45 |

| OerHeks | marchelzo_, not, as 13.10 is EOL, upgrade please to 14.04 | 22:45 |
| k1l | marchelzo_: 13.10 is out of support update first to 14.04 then take a look about the gcc | 22:45 |
| marchelzo_ | OerHeks, I'm not terribly familiar with ubuntu. Does that mean I have to reinstall? | 22:45 |
| k1l | marchelzo_: no | 22:46 |
| ZerOlegend | you can upgrade the distro | 22:46 |
| k1l | !upgrade | marchelzo_ | 22:46 |
| ubottu | marchelzo_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 22:46 |
| marchelzo_ | I'm actually running Xubuntu, but I take it these docs still apply to me? | 22:46 |
| ZerOlegend | k1l, can you still do just a apt-get dist-upgrade? | 22:46 |
| EriC^^ | marchelzo_: yes | 22:47 |
| k1l | ZerOlegend: not on ubuntu. we have updaters for that | 22:47 |
| k1l | ZerOlegend: sudo do-release-upgrade | 22:47 |
| ZerOlegend | oh ok been awhile since I used ubuntu just re-installed it this weekend | 22:47 |
| ZerOlegend | got tired of gentoo | 22:47 |
| ZerOlegend | I think fiesty was the last version I ran | 22:48 |
| ZerOlegend | so happy netflix works with chrome37 now | 22:48 |
| ZerOlegend | still trying to get a good way to rtmp stream audio/desktop/webcam to a live stream site. castawesome kind of works but doesnt seem to grab audio from pulse | 22:49 |
| tj-main | hey all, i have some questions about nfs performance, wanted to get some comparisons to see if i'm crazy. i'm topping out at ~11MB/s transfer speed between two Ubuntu 14.04 machines connected with cat6 to the same gigabit switch. | 22:49 |
| === slyrus_ is now known as slyrus | ||
| ZerOlegend | tj-main, could also depend on your hard drive read/write speed | 22:51 |
| ZerOlegend | 1gig ethernet maxes out around 125MBps | 22:52 |
| collinanderson | I accidentally over-wrote my /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key. How do I reset it or generate a new one? | 22:53 |
| tj-main | Zer0legend, the drives I am testing on are 2 SSDs in btrfs RAID 0, local write speed with the same test is ~1GB/s | 22:54 |

| ZerOlegend | collinanderson, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-803827.html | 22:54 |
| ZerOlegend | 2nd to last post | 22:54 |
| collinanderson | ZerOlegend: perfect. I just ran "sudo make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite" which at least _looks_ it would fix it. (And I assume it did. I'll know in about a day). Thanks so much for the quick reply! | 22:56 |
| ZerOlegend | no problem you are welcome | 22:57 |
| icewaterman | hi | 22:57 |
| ZerOlegend | helo | 22:57 |
| icewaterman | my ubuntu init process doesnt seem to mount /dev, which presents a whole range of problems | 22:58 |
| icewaterman | its 14.10 but the same happened with 14.04 | 22:58 |
| ZerOlegend | so no devices will mount? | 22:58 |
| icewaterman | how come it no longer mounts it. | 22:58 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: some work, but many devices dont | 22:58 |
| ZerOlegend | what is one that doesn't for example? | 22:58 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: all sound devices | 22:59 |
| k1l | icewaterman: is that some special setup? | 22:59 |
| ZerOlegend | you do not mount a sound device | 22:59 |
| icewaterman | k1l: unfortunately i have to use my own compiled kernel. | 22:59 |
| k1l | icewaterman: what devices do you mean exactly? | 22:59 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: no but the device is in /dev | 22:59 |
| ZerOlegend | are you saying you do not have working sound? | 22:59 |
| k1l | icewaterman: oh. so its not a ubunut issue but a custom-kernel issue? | 22:59 |
| icewaterman | k1l: doubt it, because i explicitly enabled devtmpfs and used the kernel option to mount it on boot | 23:00 |
| ZerOlegend | did you compile support into the kernel for devices that are not working? | 23:00 |
| k1l | icewaterman: so does it work with an original ubuntu kernel? | 23:00 |
| icewaterman | k1l: unfortunately i cannot test that | 23:01 |
| k1l | icewaterman: what devices are we talking about? what machine do you use to need a own kernel? | 23:01 |
| icewaterman | k1l: because of some weired full disk encryption setup i used years ago i cannot use the ubuntu kernel | 23:01 |
| k1l | atm it sounds like: i build a own kernel that doesnt work. | 23:01 |
| icewaterman | i would like to but it would cost me weeks to get a complete setup working again and i do not have the time. | 23:02 |
| ZerOlegend | yeah that is what i am getting too k1l | 23:02 |
| icewaterman | this is why i have been stuck with my custom kernel for years | 23:02 |
| ZerOlegend | sounds like you just missed some kernel modules | 23:02 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: all kernel modules are there | 23:02 |
| ZerOlegend | how are they set to load? | 23:02 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: lets make the problem more simple: | 23:03 |
| ZerOlegend | that would be fantastic | 23:03 |
| icewaterman | uvcvideo and videodev are loaded, but no /dev/video0 | 23:03 |
| icewaterman | because /dev is not mounted | 23:03 |
| ZerOlegend | that is where I am getting lost | 23:03 |
| ZerOlegend | i have only heard of storage devices being mounted | 23:04 |
| icewaterman | http://pastie.org/9710601 | 23:04 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: /dev/ is a virtual filesystem in memory usually. | 23:04 |
| icewaterman | either using tmpfs or devtmpfs these days | 23:04 |
| ZerOlegend | right | 23:05 |
| icewaterman | so it should be mounted | 23:05 |
| juniburp | is there a backdoor preinstalled on every ubuntu os for the nsa? | 23:05 |
| ZerOlegend | that was the output from mount right? | 23:05 |
| ZerOlegend | no juniburp | 23:05 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: yes | 23:05 |
| k1l | juniburp: no | 23:05 |
| bubbasaures | juniburp, They don't need one your on the web. | 23:06 |
| ZerOlegend | i have never in my life seen non storage devices in my mounts | 23:06 |
| juniburp | so why is there a scare with ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| ZerOlegend | lspci will show other devices | 23:06 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: udev /dev devtmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0 | 23:06 |
| ZerOlegend | and lsmod | 23:06 |
| icewaterman | thats the entry in fstab | 23:06 |
| juniburp | http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=43629.80 | 23:06 |
| ZerOlegend | did you add that to fstab? | 23:06 |
| k1l | juniburp: it is some FUD made from groups that dont like ubuntu as a beginners linux | 23:06 |
| k1l | juniburp: and that ones dont know what SELinux actually is | 23:07 |
| juniburp | k1l: i never heard of SELinux | 23:07 |
| icewaterman | ZerOlegend: yes i did add it because it didnt mount it without it. unfortunately neither does it now with it being added. here is my lsmod: http://pastie.org/9710606 | 23:08 |
| icewaterman | as you can see all the necessary modules are there | 23:08 |
| juniburp | wait, selinux was developed by the nsa | 23:08 |
| juniburp | so we can't really trust ubuntu | 23:08 |
| juniburp | or am i stupid? | 23:08 |
| k1l | juniburp: stop | 23:09 |
| icewaterman | juniburp: shut up, | 23:09 |
| juniburp | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux | 23:09 |
| juniburp | it says so in the wiki | 23:09 |
| ZerOlegend | cause wiki's are 100% truth right? | 23:09 |
| juniburp | the key concepts were developed by the nsa | 23:09 |
| ZerOlegend | ubuntu is not selinux | 23:09 |
| cryptodan | lol juniburp dont like it then dont use anything that uses selinux | 23:09 |
| k1l | juniburp: yes some nsa teams were working on it. but that doesnt mean they made backdoors to linux | 23:09 |
| juniburp | so how can one be 100% sure that their system is backdoor-free? | 23:10 |
| k1l | juniburp: just dont get hysteric if you read nsa somewhere. read and think | 23:10 |
| ZerOlegend | icewaterman, i have no idea how to help on your situation unless I were playing with the machine in person | 23:10 |
| k1l | juniburp: its open source. you can see all code that it is | 23:10 |
| ZerOlegend | you got one complicated setup | 23:10 |
| icewaterman | there are more fancy ways to get backdoors into software than by putting them into the code. | 23:10 |
| konner | Hello | 23:10 |
| juniburp | k1l: i don't have anything to hide but the principle behind the government trying to incriminate you every way then can is appaling | 23:11 |
| ZerOlegend | well juniburp that is what they do get over it | 23:11 |
| k1l | juniburp: the task why nsa was working on it was to make more secure linux OS possible to be used by nsa or other government teams. not to make backdoors into linux. | 23:11 |
| juniburp | icewaterman: the only way i know how to put backdoors are by embedding them into files | 23:11 |
| ZerOlegend | encrypt your stuff, dont do crime in open areas, live a happy life | 23:11 |
| icewaterman | juniburp: haha, how naive are you: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection | 23:11 |
| k1l | juniburp: you are on the wrong trip. dont get hysteric if you read nsa and just hop on the shitstorm train. read about it and think about it. | 23:12 |
| juniburp | wow great icewaterman that's some nice language that is impossible to understand, hooray for english names lol | 23:12 |
| icewaterman | juniburp: even the guys writing the code dont fully understand what they are doing, it is extremly easy to but a backdoor generator into their sources without anyone ever noticing because its not in a place where it would be a threat to gcc but only inside the code its generating and lets be honest who looks at the assembly.. | 23:13 |
| k1l | juniburp: selinux was started by an nsa team but its maintained by google and redhat most times now. | 23:13 |
| FilthyMacNasty | anyone know how to make qmmp do the web interface thing? | 23:13 |
| k1l | juniburp: so we can stop calling selinux a backdoor now until you come with a proof, ok? | 23:13 |
| EriC^^ | ZerOlegend: don't do crime in open areas? | 23:13 |
| juniburp | well google and nsa are best buddies | 23:13 |
| kostkon | juniburp, ubuntu does not use selinux by default | 23:14 |
| ZerOlegend | EriC^^, lol just common sense advice | 23:14 |
| k1l | icewaterman: that is not helpful. please try to be helpful in here | 23:14 |
| cryptodan | Encryption can be easily broken | 23:14 |
| ZerOlegend | depends on the bit | 23:14 |
| EriC^^ | how aobut dont do crime, period. | 23:14 |
| juniburp | someone is sending me malicious links | 23:14 |
| ZerOlegend | juniburp, you should unplug your computer then | 23:14 |
| juniburp | <connix> show gratis (solo hooy) --> http://s422803032.mialojamiento.(REDACTED) | 23:14 |
| juniburp | i deleted the tld | 23:15 |
| juniburp | in case you click it on accident | 23:15 |
| FilthyMacNasty | keeel him | 23:15 |
| k1l | juniburp: stop that in here. please come back if you have some proof for your backdoor accusations, not only some forumspost where someone talks about something he doesnt even know about. | 23:15 |
| cryptodan | live a good moral life and government agencies wont want you, | 23:15 |
| k1l | juniburp: thanks, removed that spammer | 23:15 |
| bubbasaures | take your m4ds people | 23:15 |
| ZerOlegend | there you go cryptodan that is what I was trying to get at | 23:16 |
| juniburp | k1l: i'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything, i'm just trying to feel privacy, something i haven't felt for a really long time | 23:16 |
| juniburp | now, it's a lot worse after seeing citizenfour | 23:16 |
| ZerOlegend | hehe | 23:16 |
| cryptodan | And if you live in a nation that oppresses you then stand up and fight against the oppression just as the USA did back in the 1700's against the british | 23:16 |
| k1l | juniburp: no need to worry about selinux then, as i explained. | 23:17 |
| EriC^^ | crime isn't really a problem, unless somebody gets hurt | 23:17 |
| l0rdn1x | lol, juniburp just use Linux pay attention to detail and you will be fine. | 23:17 |
| Airbander | how can i defrag my hdd on linux ? | 23:17 |
| ZerOlegend | you don't | 23:17 |
| timbo_ | I keep asking but no response - I need to reinstall Ubuntu and tell it which partition was ROOT. I have ubuntu-vg-root that is 955220MB ext4 and dev/sda2 ext2 255MB. Which one should be installed as root? | 23:17 |
| CarlFK | how can I have the hostname and maybe IP address show up on my desktop? | 23:17 |
| juniburp | i'm not going to worry about it, i'm going to learn programming at a high enough level to completely understand what code is doing what | 23:17 |
| FilthyMacNasty | no need | 23:17 |
| k1l | and please put the chitchat into #ubuntu-offtopic guys. we need to keep this channel for ubuntu support | 23:17 |
| Airbander | Zero really ? | 23:17 |
| ZerOlegend | linux doenst fragment files enough to need it | 23:17 |
| k1l | Airbander: ext4 doesnt need defrag | 23:17 |
| l0rdn1x | juniburp, you mean low enough level? | 23:17 |
| bubbasaures | Airbander, Linux has fsck, don;t defragg a ntfs | 23:17 |
| Airbander | cooooool | 23:17 |
| konner | #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:18 |
| FilthyMacNasty | you can fsck once in a while | 23:18 |
| OerHeks | Airbander, unless it is a SSD, no need for defrag | 23:18 |
| Airbander | ok any options to optimize linux ? | 23:18 |
| ZerOlegend | yeah i will fsck once a year maybe | 23:18 |
| bubbasaures | Airbander, fsck is rarely used however. | 23:18 |
| Airbander | thanks guys | 23:18 |
| Airbander | fsck what is this ? | 23:18 |
| k1l | juniburp: that is a good intention, to help make sure linux is safe. | 23:18 |
| CarlFK | OerHeks: why would ssd matter? | 23:18 |
| ZerOlegend | Airbander, file system checker | 23:18 |
| Airbander | ssd very fast HDD | 23:18 |
| k1l | Airbander: why optimize? | 23:18 |
| OerHeks | CarlFK, trim is not standard enabled | 23:18 |
| Airbander | i just wonder if there is | 23:19 |
| CarlFK | OerHeks: um.. what's trim? | 23:19 |
| k1l | OerHeks: it is since 14.04 or 14.10 iirc | 23:19 |
| Airbander | linux run for me very good i dont need any optimization i just ask that's it | 23:19 |
| bubbasaures | 14.04 | 23:19 |
| k1l | Airbander: for most users the regular settings are good to run. | 23:19 |
| ZerOlegend | i used to have a shirt that said FSCK YOU! back in 95 | 23:20 |
| FilthyMacNasty | well I put the swap at the beginning of the disk | 23:20 |
| Airbander | ok guys what kind of problems i can face using linux ? | 23:20 |
| FilthyMacNasty | that seems to have a bit of a boost | 23:20 |
| CarlFK | Airbander: I have found that trying to optimize is a way to burn up time making it a little faster, then more time because you broke something. | 23:20 |
| k1l | FilthyMacNasty: :/ stop with that myths please | 23:20 |
| bubbasaures | Airbander, boredom no virus chacing in general. | 23:20 |
| FilthyMacNasty | just stating what I do and it seems to run better | 23:21 |
| bubbasaures | chasing* | 23:21 |
| FilthyMacNasty | !works for me | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 23:21 |
| k1l | Airbander: lets change that. come back if you get some problems and cant solve that. | 23:21 |
| Airbander | ok | 23:21 |
| ZerOlegend | Airbander, with linux do not fix it if it is not broken | 23:21 |
| Airbander | great | 23:21 |
| ZerOlegend | countless times I have b0rked my setup playing around trying things | 23:21 |
| Airbander | thanks every one | 23:22 |
| juniburp | is there a way to run os x apps on ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| ZerOlegend | no | 23:22 |
| juniburp | like a wine-esque type app? | 23:22 |
| FilthyMacNasty | do your experiments in a VM zer0 | 23:22 |
| ZerOlegend | that is what I do now FilthyMacNasty | 23:22 |
| FilthyMacNasty | juniburp: crossover | 23:22 |
| konner | Where would you recommend to start for learning about computer security? | 23:22 |
| Airbander | guys when i make update from terminal | 23:22 |
| ZerOlegend | i was talking about way back when linux was new | 23:22 |
| Airbander | should i reboot the machine ? | 23:22 |
| k1l | juniburp: see if that program is available for ubuntu | 23:23 |
| k1l | !security | konner | 23:23 |
| ubottu | konner: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server | 23:23 |

| jeffers1_ | Hi there | 23:44 |
| jeffers1_ | First time user. May I ask for ubuntu help? | 23:44 |
| EriC^^ | hello | 23:44 |
| EriC^^ | sure | 23:45 |
| EriC^^ | you get 3 questions | 23:45 |
| EriC^^ | ( just kidding ) | 23:45 |
| jeffers1_ | I am finding it extremely difficult to source ubuntu laptops for educational purposes. | 23:45 |
| jeffers1_ | Google is useless. I am talking about approx 200+ | 23:45 |
| m1dnight | guys, I pressed some weird combination of keys today and now I have to readd all my ssh keys after each boot using ssh-add | 23:46 |
| jeffers1_ | In theory. I am open to imports from china etc | 23:46 |
| cryptodan | jeffers1_: what do you mean by source? | 23:46 |
