| HelenaKitty | I am waiting for a bit of support! Not may fault some randomer joined and started talking to me! | 00:00 |
| albert | bubbasaures, i clicked the bubble in software and updates, now i dont see it anymore after i rebootd, but dont see it in network connections | 00:00 |

| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| linux | i want the crubuntu not chrome os i want my crubuntu back | 00:02 |
| linux | but its not letting me install it | 00:02 |
| bubbasaures | linux, Can you open gparted and take a screen shot and put it in a imagebin | 00:03 |
| linux | all cuz i fed up and put cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -T 1 -S 0 /dev/sda in the cmd prompt | 00:03 |
| linux | and no i cant | 00:03 |
| HelenaKitty | linux, Why don't you install Ubuntu natively?! | 00:03 |
| albert | #nick pimpin | 00:03 |
| Rexter | HelenaKitty, a lot of that in here today, at least you had the balls to just say it. | 00:04 |
| linux | i cant do tht eather it wont let me | 00:04 |
| HelenaKitty | CrUbuntu isn't native. | 00:04 |
| HelenaKitty | Lol? | 00:04 |
| HelenaKitty | Are you sure you're using an x86 chromebook?! | 00:04 |
| Ben64 | linux: only official ubuntu releases are supported here | 00:04 |
| Flannel | linux: You might try #chrubuntu, they hopefully can help you more than we can. | 00:04 |
| HelenaKitty | YOu're asking for support with CrUbuntu well this is native Ubuntu not CrUbuntu. | 00:04 |
| linux | ik when i use crouton or just install it it wont let me | 00:05 |
| HelenaKitty | Now... if you atleast tried to install Ubuntu natively then we'd be luctant enough to support you with Ubuntu on your chromebook. | 00:05 |
| Flannel | linux: This is definitely a chromebook specific issue, you're unlikely to find anyone here who knows anything about it. Try #chrubuntu | 00:05 |
| linux | kk | 00:06 |
| HelenaKitty | linux, I can't go as far as helping you with Chromebook hardware issues. | 00:06 |

| HelenaKitty | Once you've found out how to get Ubuntu on natively we can help you again. | 00:07 |
| HelenaKitty | with things in Ubuntu. | 00:07 |
| EriC^^ | linux: or #chrubuntu | 00:07 |
| albert | EriC^^, interface not supported | 00:07 |
| HelenaKitty | Until then you need to go to that channel. | 00:07 |
| Flannel | HelenaKitty: Lay off. | 00:07 |
| HelenaKitty | Flannel, Lay off what? | 00:07 |
| Flannel | HelenaKitty: He's been told a number of times already, including a few by you, you don't need to keep repeating it. | 00:07 |
| tsunade | :popcorn: | 00:07 |

| HappyNewYear13 | i wanted to play isketch online after so many years and i just learned shockwave player is not available for linux | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | HappyNewYear13: firefox offers several versions for windows and linuxes. so use the one from the ubuntu repos. that is made working with ubunut already | 00:12 |
| HappyNewYear13 | Rexter, wikipedia says "It is also possible to use Shockwave in the native Linux version of FireFox by using the Pipelight plugin" | 00:12 |
| chrismatic | @HappyNewYear13 Shockwave Player == Flash player, I presume? If so, it is available for Firefox on ubuntu | 00:12 |

| shadaloo | Ben64: I can see why | 00:33 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: can you suggest a User interface like fluxbox or something so I can at least get back into my system | 00:34 |

| fingertips | HappyNewYear13, this is answered better by knowing how ubuntu is put together, but honest answers are always rewarded | 00:37 |

| lickalott | don't think so. its been working fine. i think this issue started with my last update/upgrade | 00:57 |

| lickalott | I was just about to follow this - http://nzbget.net/Installation_on_Linux_(mipsel) | 01:01 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: 404, and you should not be doing anything other than "sudo apt-get install nzbget" | 01:01 |
| HappyNewYear13 | when i see the info of my wireless it says Speed 18Mb/s. but different computer connected to same network always said 54Mb/s. is it a driver problem? | 01:01 |

| shadaloo | Ben64: ok | 01:09 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: thanks | 01:09 |
| newbieubuntu | sup, | 01:10 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: how do you know that I need 331? if you do not mind me asking | 01:10 |
| Ben64 | well you have ubuntu 14.04, and 331 is the latest in 14.04, and supports both the 8200 and the 9300 | 01:10 |

| k1l_ | m0h4wk: http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ that are the big desktops ubuntu offers | 02:29 |
| seronis | Kubuntu just defaults to installing KDE desktop mnager instead of unity | 02:29 |
| seronis | i use Xubuntu (XFCE desktop environment) | 02:30 |

| m0h4wk | How do I switch to Unity? | 02:31 |
| k1l_ | m0h4wk: unity is the standard ubuntu desktop. you can install the ones you see on the pictures with installing the package "ubuntu-desktop" or "kubuntu-desktop". then choose the desktop in the menu on the login screen | 02:31 |
| Ben64 | m0h4wk: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop; then choose unity when you're logging in | 02:32 |

| m0h4wk | Should I remove Kubuntu while in Kubuntu or....? | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | shadaloo: try booting to text mode, by appending 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 02:37 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: alright | 02:37 |
| seronis | m0h4wk, i would _guess_ no. wait till you boot into unity | 02:37 |
| jmeps3 | #carding | 02:38 |
| seronis | also that link i posted has a huge apt-get remove command line that lists all the packages used in kubuntu that are not used in ubuntu default | 02:38 |
| seronis | you can use it to ensure the extras are gone but id also read the package names first to see if there is something you want | 02:38 |
| m0h4wk | Should I bother creating an ethernet connection or just let it connect automatically? | 02:38 |
| m0h4wk | Would it improve speeds if I actually created a connection with the necessary details? | 02:38 |

| HappyNewYear13 | m0h4wk, let it connect automatically and put ipv6 on ignore | 02:39 |
| seronis | HappyNewYear13, why put ipv6 on ignore ? | 02:39 |
| eblip | if you get your ethernet connection manually or by dhcp ...the speed is exactly the same | 02:39 |
| m0h4wk | How can I put the ipv6 on ignore? | 02:40 |
| HappyNewYear13 | seronis, i don't use it and it improves performance | 02:40 |
| HappyNewYear13 | m0h4wk, you go to the ethernet icon and chek its properties | 02:40 |
| seronis | basically DONT put it on ignore | 02:40 |
| m0h4wk | It says device not managed | 02:40 |
| HappyNewYear13 | seronis, why not | 02:41 |
| seronis | you need a reason to disable part of theinternet. not a reason to leave it accessible | 02:41 |
| pentagon_ | Ashame this system didn't come with vlock. | 02:42 |
| HappyNewYear13 | who uses ipv6? omg | 02:42 |
| eblip | if you put ipv6 on ignore..it only stops your system attempting to get an ipv6 address and info | 02:43 |
| eblip | its not really massive overhead. | 02:43 |
| m0h4wk | I just realized how light Kubuntu is, only 12gbś | 02:43 |
| m0h4wk | And right now I´m only using around 15% of my 8gb RAM | 02:43 |
| eblip | in fact it may be a good idea...as hackers could install an ipv6 dhcp server and get your machine issued with an ipv6 address if it is left on..i assume | 02:43 |
| m0h4wk | I feel as though this will be better for gaming, right? | 02:44 |
| m0h4wk | So, the command that I put into terminal to install Ubuntu desktop finished. Do I just restart now or how else can I get into it? | 02:44 |
| seronis | m0h4wk, thats basically a non-issue. "better for gaming" will still be whether you like games available on linux or not | 02:44 |
| Ben64 | m0h4wk: log out, click the cog icon near your name when putting in your password and choose Unity | 02:45 |
| seronis | m0h4wk, over half my steam library is available on linux and a decent portion of the rest i can run with Wine (though a few .Net programs require a lot of setup troubleshooting) | 02:45 |
| rww | HappyNewYear13: I do. | 02:45 |

| HappyNewYear13 | rww, you have like a local network? | 02:46 |
| m0h4wk | Wow | 02:46 |
| m0h4wk | This is a lot cooler | 02:46 |
| rww | HappyNewYear13: No, my ISP (Comcast) offers globally-routable IPv6. | 02:47 |
| m0h4wk | It´s more native to Windows 8 with the sidebar feature. | 02:47 |
| Bashing-om | m0h4wk: :) Welcome to tomorrow . | 02:47 |
| m0h4wk | Can I set up multiple desktops on Ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| seronis | hdmi output (for watching videos on my tv) works fine. So most likely multi monitor support is good out of the box now too | 02:48 |
| m0h4wk | No multiple monitor support, I have only 1 monitor. But in Kubuntu you could cycle through several desktops. | 02:48 |
| m0h4wk | Or workstations as theyŕe called | 02:48 |
| seronis | oh.. unity doesnt use those by default ? | 02:48 |
| m0h4wk | Doesn´t look like it | 02:49 |
| m0h4wk | So how can I set it up so that it´s displayed in the top bar? | 02:49 |

| lickalott | Ben64, you still around? | 03:02 |
| lickalott | m0h4wk, have you googled yet? | 03:03 |
| lickalott | https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu | 03:03 |
| lickalott | ^^ | 03:03 |
| Flannel | m0h4wk: sudo apt-get install wine | 03:03 |
| Juca | I got pinged! | 03:04 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | Halp | 03:05 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | So errrr i have an interesting problem | 03:06 |
| teward | MasterCeadeus27: how about you state what your problem is and then perhaps you can get some help | 03:06 |
| teward | because we aren't psychic :P | 03:06 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | fair enough | 03:06 |
| Juca | I got pinged! | 03:06 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | ]:( | 03:06 |
| m0h4wk | What Anti-virus do you guys propose I install on Ubuntu? | 03:06 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: occasionally | 03:06 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | Anyway, sooo. I used Ubuntu on my laptop via a flash drive. I was pleased. So I installed it, allotting 70 gb of space to it, with the goal of allowing dual-boot on my Windows 8 system | 03:07 |
| somsip | !av | m0h4wk | 03:07 |
| ubottu | m0h4wk: 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 | 03:07 |
| superlunary | ##linux | 03:07 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | However, upon startup, I do not find anything that even alludes to the ability to boot it | 03:07 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | so I'm left with the unique problem of obviously having two OSes installed and one not even showing up | 03:08 |
| lickalott | Ben64, after re-install---> /usr/local/bin/nzbget | 03:08 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | ;_; | 03:08 |
| Juca | I got pinged! | 03:08 |
| Ben64 | shadaloo: should be "text" without quotes, should say something like "quiet nosplash text" | 03:08 |
| Ben64 | Juca: could you not do that | 03:09 |
| karrot | hello, I got this command line to edit a .txt document the way I want to (sed 's/[[^]]*"//' Desktop/Untitled.txt), but I'd like to put the results of that edit into a new .txt file, how can I do so? | 03:10 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | So... what could cause such a difficulty? | 03:10 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: usually happens when you manually install stuff, i'm still betting thats the issue | 03:10 |
| karrot | I'm in the process of googling, but it's tough... | 03:10 |
| karrot | I guess I just need to put the output of a command into a .txt file... which should be relatively easy | 03:10 |
| Ben64 | karrot: cat blah.txt | sed s/foo/bar/g >> newblah.txt | 03:10 |
| karrot | Ben64: thanks | 03:11 |
| lickalott | Ben64, does that path look better? | 03:11 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: no | 03:11 |
| m0h4wk | How can I check if my video card has been detected by Ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| lickalott | i did a apt-get autoremove nzbget. then apt-get install nzbget. | 03:11 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: like i've said many times, you probably have a manually installed version that is causing you problems, apt-get doesn't even know about it | 03:12 |
| somsip | m0h4wk: sudo lshw -c Video | 03:12 |
| lickalott | so the newly installed is still getting trumped by the manually installed one? What are you thoughts on getting rid of the other version? | 03:13 |
| Ben64 | lickalott: depends how you installed it | 03:13 |
| m0h4wk | Do I need to install NVidia software as well? Because I remember using a program to optimize my gameplay | 03:13 |
| karrot | Ben64: that didn't quite work, can I give you a litte more specific information, and maybe you can help? | 03:14 |
| Ben64 | karrot: ok | 03:14 |
| somsip | m0h4wk: if you install nvidia drivers, you will also install nvidia-settings which may be what you mean | 03:14 |
| karrot | Ben64: I have a .txt file called Untitled.txt, I'm trying to erase everything between [ ] in the file and the command "sed 's/[[^]]*"//'" does so, and outputs correctly, I would like to use that command on the .txt file and have it write a new .txt file with the sed command's output | 03:15 |
| karrot | Ben64: the output from the sed command by itself works, but it won't write that into a .txt file | 03:15 |
| Ben64 | karrot: then end the command with >output.txt | 03:16 |
| m0h4wk | The program was called the NVidia Geforce Experience | 03:16 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | pls halp | 03:16 |
| karrot | Ben64: I just tried that, and I tried it with >> output.txt for good meause, neither worked... | 03:16 |
| karrot | Ben64: I'm about to just copy and paste out of the terminal... but it's a 10,000 line .txt file :( | 03:17 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: Geforce Experience is only for windows | 03:17 |
| karrot | Ben64: wait | 03:17 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | ;_______; | 03:17 |
| karrot | Ben64: sorry, the sed command did not work as I thought... I'm sorry | 03:17 |

| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: windows 8 and ubuntu are ... different | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | ....well yes | 03:18 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: use playonlinux, it has an install script | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | I should hope so | 03:18 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: Uefi disabled? | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | But it ran fine from the USB drive... Hmm | 03:18 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: GPT disabled? | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | Well | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | Not ATM | 03:18 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | It was during installation | 03:18 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: Installed windows 7 instead? | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | No | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | I've no way to install windows 7 | 03:19 |
| m0h4wk | I love how almost everything that you need to be done can be done through terminal | 03:19 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: thats how i "fixed" it, the only thing working with UEFI alongside win8 was fedora | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | I mean... I suppose I could get a copy from my CST teacher | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | Hmmm | 03:19 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: apt-get? its fantastic | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | OK | 03:19 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | So maybe I try turning UEFI off again | 03:19 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: try fedora, after that switch to legacy boot | 03:20 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: and if that doesnt bring the needed success wipe it all and smash win7 on it | 03:20 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | wipe---wipe it--all??? | 03:20 |
| m0h4wk | Tobias[L]: yeah it's awesome!!! | 03:20 |
| MasterCeadeus27 | I have many important documents that simply cannot risk being "wiped" | 03:21 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: Chocolatey provides a similar function for windows | 03:21 |
| Tobias[L] | MasterCeadeus27: backup into the cloud and locally | 03:21 |
| m0h4wk | How can I optimize my Ubuntu to run efficiently? | 03:21 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: it already does but for some extra speed after booting try preload | 03:22 |
| m0h4wk | What is preload? | 03:22 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: it analyzes what you start often and loads those prgrams into ram(everything over 2 mb from these programs) | 03:22 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: use only if you have more than 4G | 03:23 |
| m0h4wk | I have 8gb's | 03:23 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: perfect, ssd? | 03:23 |
| Bashing-om | MasterCeadeus27: Win8 (UEFI) presens it's pwn set of problems, both to install and to boot . Await advisement here from those who have the experience to advise ( Not me, as I have no UEFI experience) . | 03:23 |

| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: try preload, everything else is as smooth as it gets unless you want to try your butt at gentoo | 03:24 |
| m0h4wk | How do I try preload through terminal? | 03:24 |
| Tobias[L] | apt-get install preload | 03:25 |
| m0h4wk | It says it couldn't open lock file.... | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | Unable to lovk the administration directory | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | lock* | 03:26 |
| Tobias[L] | apt-get obviously needs superuser aka "sudo" | 03:26 |
| Tobias[L] | as in sudo apt-get install preload | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | Ooooh | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | Ok | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | I'm new to this as you can tell | 03:26 |
| m0h4wk | I launched it, now what? | 03:27 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: it is a daemon that analyzes what you usually start as programs. it will use that knowledge to load program files (i.e firefox binary) into ram after you boot so when you load firefox most data already is loaded | 03:28 |
| m0h4wk | How do I set up a default graphics card for all programs to use? | 03:28 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: nvidia optimus? | 03:29 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: check the switch layer you installed (primus or bumblebee i think )for its settings or use the search machine you fancy | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | #join #android | 03:30 |
| m0h4wk | I haven't installed either, do you reccomend either? | 03:30 |
| m0h4wk | And by that I mean which one do you reccommend? | 03:31 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: primus (check if its written right) is the newer implementation and works better afaik | 03:31 |
| Tobias[L] | m0h4wk: i have sli 650m laptop so lenovo decided to kill the switiching ability | 03:31 |
| m0h4wk | What is the command line I type into terminal? | 03:31 |
| m0h4wk | In order to install primus | 03:32 |
| Tobias[L] | sudo apt-get install primus (check before) | 03:32 |
| m0h4wk | So once it is installed, do I open it and set configurations or....? | 03:33 |

| Tobias[L] | shadaloo: download it from the offical vlc website | 03:54 |

| shadaloo | Ben64: thx for your fantastic advice once again | 03:54 |
| Ben64 | Tobias[L]'s suggestion is not recommended nor supported | 03:54 |

| shadaloo | Tobias[L]: where is apt-cache? | 03:57 |

| kazdax | so i set the port and then it should be avalable online ? | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | kazdax, i wouldn't say stupid, but definitely unwise | 04:02 |
| Ben64 | kazdax: read the link ubottu gave you | 04:02 |
| kazdax | well i wont be giving it out | 04:02 |
| === skastur1 is now known as skasturi | ||
| kazdax | i just want to test it and if it does work out | 04:02 |
| Ben64 | kazdax: and you should reconsider, even if you don't give it out, there are bots trolling the internet constantly for vulnerabilities | 04:03 |
| kazdax | id like to study more about firewalls and security procedures i can take | 04:03 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: what do you want to do? also making a dmz for your pc on your router with an webserver cries for your pc to be comrpomitted | 04:03 |
| kazdax | the ubuntu is runnong on vm..so all my other so called sensitive data is on my host machine | 04:03 |
| kandinski | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9052092/ | 04:03 |
| kazdax | well there isnt really anything senstive about the data i have | 04:03 |
| kazdax | oh | 04:03 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: vms (likely Virtualbox) are an extra case, you routing trough windows? | 04:04 |
| kazdax | show how would you setup a webserve if you had to ? | 04:04 |
| kandinski | my apologies for the superpaste: I got the wrong buffer, and pasted the content instead of the pastebin url. I have this apt-get problem where update says it can't download an index file, but wget can. Any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9052092/ | 04:04 |
| kazdax | yes i am routing threw windows | 04:04 |
| kazdax | i am using vmware | 04:04 |
| Ben64 | kandinski: try a different mirror | 04:04 |
| kazdax | where do i remember hearing that name | 04:05 |
| kandinski | Ben64: but why would apt-get fail with this mirror, while wget doesn't? | 04:05 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: you have to setup port forwarding from your router into windows into the vm which has to go all the way back out ... dream again, this is incredibly heavy. get yourself a raspberry pi | 04:05 |
| Ben64 | kandinski: who knows man | 04:05 |
| kazdax | so wait ..my windows is also using port 80 | 04:06 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: smooth recognition | 04:06 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: get yourself a small platine computer like the raspberry pi, if you want a corrupted device this way atleast make it an as msall threat as possible | 04:07 |
| kazdax | i could use a machine ..I dont have real use of ..its apentuim 4 | 04:07 |
| kandinski | Ben64: yes, thanks XD | 04:07 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: perfect, but still your router needs DMZ support and you likely need an Dynamic dns service | 04:07 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: you planning on setting up a forum? | 04:07 |
| kazdax | something like that | 04:07 |
| kazdax | a forum is a good idea | 04:08 |
| kazdax | i was thinking of setting up a bbs for fun | 04:08 |
| kazdax | I have an upload speed of 10 mbits and 50 download | 04:08 |
| kazdax | so i though it should not be much of a problem if i hosted site and allowed people to download its contents | 04:08 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: you need a web adress, a dynamic dns, your router is directly in the way and the security risks... why not take an online offer for a few bucks, that will be safer and more expertedly managed | 04:09 |
| albert_ | anyone know how to get quake 2 installed on ubuntu >? | 04:09 |
| somsip | kazdax: with respect, it's a bad idea. You don't have the knowledge you need right now, so you don't understand the implications of what you are doing. Find a hosted forum if you want one. Don't try to host it with the setup you've described | 04:09 |
| ramborocks | albert | 04:09 |
| Ben64 | albert_: aren't you on zorin | 04:09 |
| ramborocks | albert for quake 2 you should try play on linux | 04:09 |
| Tobias[L] | somsip: yep was saying XD | 04:10 |
| albert_ | no i just installed ubuntu | 04:10 |
| ramborocks | albert i used it today for warcraft 3 | 04:10 |
| ramborocks | albert inside the software center look for 'play on linux' | 04:10 |
| Ben64 | !appdb | albert_ | 04:10 |
| ubottu | albert_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 04:10 |
| somsip | Tobias[L]: I totally agree and was just thinking two voices saying the same might be enough to persuade him | 04:10 |
| kazdax | so the problem is not getting an isolated computer | 04:11 |
| kazdax | but its that it directly connects to my modem or router | 04:11 |
| kazdax | so its easy to just hack into the router and from there access the other computers | 04:11 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: the problem is you open your infrastructure to the world with not only bad configuration and your router in the way but also an fully-fledged web server with a million open security errors which others can use to compromit not only the server but your whole home netowrk | 04:12 |
| kazdax | thats bad and was studying malware analysis | 04:12 |
| somsip | kazdax: the problem being the routing you need to do, the other steps you need to take, and the setup of the forum etc seem to be beyond your current level of knowledge it a way that will be difficult to bridge by giving you step by step instructions | 04:13 |
| kazdax | people could easily pin a bad hack on me | 04:13 |
| kazdax | right ill do online hosting | 04:13 |
| kazdax | till i dont get good at it and know about the security risk | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | kazdax, wouldn't you be happier/safer doing something like hosting an ubuntu mirror or .torrenting images? | 04:14 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: i have a root server running myself and despite my 400 letter password i get logins from china all day XD | 04:14 |
| kazdax | haha sweet | 04:14 |
| kazdax | good way to catch malware to analyise | 04:14 |
| kazdax | but still a bad idea since my other comptuers would be exposed | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | alright | 04:15 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: if you want to get good at running a web server get yourself that pc you dont need, setup ubuntu-server and attack with everything kali linux offers | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | i have vlc.deb | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | however | 04:15 |
| kazdax | cfhowlett, good idea man | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | i just installed nvidia-331 | 04:15 |
| kazdax | never thought about that | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | and I plugged in my HDMI display | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | and it is not detected | 04:15 |
| kazdax | but still wont be a security risk for me to host mirrors or torrents ? | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | and when I try to boot with the display in HDMI, it start to boot | 04:15 |
| kazdax | ahh | 04:15 |
| shadaloo | and then the signal goes dead | 04:15 |
| Tobias[L] | cfhowlett: i would gladly host ubuntu images (1 gbit up and download speed) buuut restricted network, only Ip6 is open for acces from outwards still | 04:15 |
| Ben64 | shadaloo: what are you doing now? how did you install nvidia? same computer? whats going on? you come here, ask a question and then bail for 15 minutes | 04:16 |
| kazdax | okay then i think ill get this old laptop i have | 04:16 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: I installed nvidia on my liveUSB | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | kazdax, less of a risk than what you've proposed and a good learning experience | 04:16 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: do you only want to collect malware? | 04:16 |
| Ben64 | shadaloo: pretty sure that will never work | 04:16 |
| shadaloo | Ben64: I'm just trying to get it so I can use my display | 04:16 |
| kazdax | yes Tobias | 04:16 |
| x_root | hello, i having a problem with the power-menu from ubuntu these days | 04:16 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: why? | 04:16 |
| kazdax | once i am done with studying older malware and from books | 04:16 |
| kazdax | i want to be able to catch them analyse the latest treat | 04:17 |
| x_root | if i try to poweroff from there doesn't open the menu to poweroff | 04:17 |
| kazdax | so i am keep up with my work :D | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: unless you work at <av here> labs thats a really really stupid ideal | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | idea* | 04:17 |
| x_root | also, if i try to end session it doesn't open the gnome-session-quit | 04:17 |
| kazdax | well i will want to paste papers about new viruses | 04:17 |
| kazdax | why not ? | 04:17 |
| x_root | what should i do? | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: and there is a muuuuuch easier way to do so | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: get a spam mail address | 04:17 |
| kazdax | if i am good at doing it ..I should get a job at an av company | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: and post it on any online huestbook you can find | 04:17 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: and then see the "you need to open this .pdf right now" flowing in | 04:18 |

| kazdax | ill try that | 04:19 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: and if you going to analyze malware be sure: do it only on said pc and disconnect it from the internet and be sure: there is malware much more sophisticated thn usual malware, always wipe your system after analyzing it | 04:20 |
| Tobias[L] | kazdax: and even that sometimes doesnt help | 04:20 |

| HelenaKitty | I currently have my system doing automatic backups per night. It backs up the entire home dir. I wanted to know that when Unity 8 comes out will the backups break the system or will the configuration files within the backups for Unity 7 be compatible with Unity 8? | 04:23 |
| uskerine | hi, in ubuntu 12.04, despite I try to modify /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname, values are set back to default. I am working in a VPS, is that due to ubuntu or due to VPS? | 04:30 |
| SchrodingersScat | uskerine: and you used sudo or gksudo to start the editor of the file? | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | uskerine, almost certainly the VPS but I wonder how they're able to override your settings ... | 04:30 |
| uskerine | I am working as root | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | uskerine, !!!?? shouldn't be doing that .. | 04:31 |
| uskerine | actually, I didn't read the file right after the reboot. once /etc/hosts is modified and the VPS restarted, changes are there but VPS adds again its values. | 04:33 |
| uskerine | so host has two FQDNs | 04:33 |
| uskerine | and /etc/hostname is reset to given VPS value | 04:34 |
| SchrodingersScat | uskerine: you may be able to change the hostname using the control panel, but that's between you and them. | 04:37 |
| uskerine | I see | 04:38 |
| uskerine | so this has nothing to do with a specific configuration in ubuntu | 04:38 |
| cfhowlett | SchrodingersScat, but if she set her values, how is the VPS provider overriding the configurations? | 04:39 |
| SchrodingersScat | cfhowlett: I'm just going off that it was reset somehow. | 04:39 |
| cfhowlett | SchrodingersScat, right, I got that. I'm just wondering how ... she set it up as root user and the provider over-rode things ... don't seem right | 04:40 |
| wayafo | hey | 04:42 |
| HelenaKitty | I currently have my system doing automatic backups per night. It backs up the entire home dir. I wanted to know that when Unity 8 comes out will the backups break the system or will the configuration files within the backups for Unity 7 be compatible with Unity 8? | 04:43 |
| uskerine | if this is a virtualized environment I don't see why /etc/hosts can't be overriden at bootup | 04:45 |
| uskerine | anyway I will leave values "as is" and reconfigure postfix to use different values | 04:45 |

I installed vmplayer on ubuntu 14.04 and there wasn't virtualization option in bios. so I searched the issue for [Binary translation is incompatible with long mode on this platform] and some post says the host's bios need to be changed the option "virtualization" but I am not sure there is so... | 04:51 |
| maum | sorry 12.04 | 04:52 |

| nathaneltitane | anyone? | 05:05 |
| devians | EriC^^ any ideas? apt just flat out seems to refuse to cooperate if what you want is not the latest version | 05:06 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: no idea what you want but if you want to stop updates use apt-mark hold *name | 05:07 |
| EriC^^ | devians: seems it will downgrade if it's one of the apt sources, but with ppa's you can only install the latest, there is a fix though but it's kind of ugly | 05:07 |

| === Guest43531 is now known as l2ksolkov | ||
| EriC^^ | devians: i'm curious if you add the ppa as source in /etc/apt/sources.list what would happen | 05:08 |
| nathaneltitane | Tobias[L]: nope.. not that - during install, I,d like for ddclient not to prompt me (silent install) | 05:08 |
| EriC^^ | not sure that would even work | 05:08 |
| devians | the ppa is in my sources list, one sec | 05:08 |
| EriC^^ | yeah it's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 05:09 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's the same as having it in sources.list | 05:09 |
| devians | EriC^^ https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923#file-source-list | 05:09 |
| sjm | in sources.list and in a file in sources.list.d directory is the same | 05:10 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: is it upgradeable with apt? anything you push manually will always ask you .. because it is safer. if you really wanna say "fuck it i dont care if it breaks" there should be the -y option (or -yes / --yes) to always take new configs (and in conclusion -n/-no/--no) for taking the old one | 05:10 |
| EriC^^ | i see | 05:10 |
| nathaneltitane | yes, it install through the apt repos | 05:11 |
| nathaneltitane | it installs* apt-get install ddclient | 05:11 |
| fedora_newb | I am running ubuntu 14.04 through virtualbox and it is running slow | 05:11 |

| Tobias[L] | fedora_newb: in your bios settings | 05:12 |
| nathaneltitane | Tobias[L]: that's fine... i'm talking about the ddclient config itself, ddclient itself prompts for setup info while installing... i'd like to silence that | 05:12 |
| fedora_newb | Ah, need to check, thanks Tobias | 05:12 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: isnt -y doing that too? | 05:13 |
| nathaneltitane | no | 05:13 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: well i remeber it always prompting me aswell but i rather grit my teeth together and do it since sometimes it can break everythign | 05:13 |

| Oggie7797 | #targa-lp | 05:14 |
| nathaneltitane | well i have a config that is already preset and that i concatenate into /etc/.... | 05:14 |

| EriC^^ | devians: it's all a mess though | 05:14 |
| EriC^^ | why do you need an older version? | 05:15 |
| devians | EriC^^ Im frankly stunned that apt is so... opinionated. | 05:15 |
| === jared_ is now known as Guest51682 | ||
| devians | whats the point of a source download command if you cant pick a version. | 05:15 |
| EriC^^ | devians: i think it's to do with the ppa's themselves | 05:15 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: write a script that presses "n" and enter the whole time XD | 05:15 |
| EriC^^ | devians: apt allows older versions from repositories, and it's a frontend for dpkg | 05:15 |
| Tobias[L] | nathaneltitane: but sorry i dont have a fix for that | 05:15 |
| EriC^^ | devians: so i if it was apt not playing ball it could be fixed with dpkg i guess? | 05:16 |
| devians | EriC^^ the point is that I have an automated system that pulls down a specific version of the nginx package, adds modules and repackages it. and apt source is killing that because I can't reliably lock down the version I start with. | 05:16 |
| EriC^^ | not sure | 05:16 |
| nathaneltitane | how do i pass the escape to the apt get install ddclient command (since i assume it'S the same process...) | 05:16 |
| Tobias[L] | EriC^^: its the same as with Ubuntus broken hostapd, only the old .deb can be used for ap-hotspot | 05:16 |

| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: once you load the guest additions image via the virtualbox menu, it should appear as a cd in the VM, from there you can open the directory of the cd and there's a script you execute. | 05:19 |
| devians | sjm, EriC^^ see https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923 so theres a pin, theres trying directly on the command line. the pin is totally ignored, the command line tells you to bugger off if its not the latest version. I'm stumped. Is there a way I can just wget the package? | 05:20 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: does lsusb list the drive still? | 05:20 |
| Roey | no it does not. | 05:20 |
| sjm | devians, are you sure the ppa includes the source? or just the binaries? | 05:20 |
| devians | if I do not specify a version I get the latest source fine. | 05:20 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: it does not | 05:20 |
| fedora_newb | Ok, so I have checked to make sure I have virtualization enabled in the bios (yes), 3d enabled, plenty of cpu and ram but ubuntu 14.04 reacts very slow in virtualbox vm. | 05:20 |
| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: I don't remember the name of the file, but I believe it ends in a .sh or it will mention linux probably? If you list the contents of the directory then someone will probably know. | 05:21 |
| sjm | devians, is there a reason you don't use the nginx repo? Just curious. | 05:21 |
| devians | that _is_ the nginx repo | 05:21 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: likely your connector or the external connector board are dead | 05:21 |
| devians | and if you're referring to the non ppa one, its becase that one is _ancient_ | 05:21 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: how do I check? | 05:21 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: get an cheap 15 bucks external drive case and screw in the drive | 05:21 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: the USB3 card I added shows up under lspci | 05:22 |
| Roey | this IS a usb3 card it's connected to | 05:22 |
| Emrich | Ok, so iv;e tried installing the image for guest additions several times and i have sucessfully done this before with XP but i can't seem to get any responce from my OS when i click to install the additions. | 05:22 |
| EriC^^ | devians: maybe mark the packages that you dont want | 05:22 |
| EriC^^ | devians: look into apt-mark | 05:22 |
| sjm | devians. according to http://wiki.nginx.org/Install that's the community maintained repo, not the official one. | 05:23 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: if your host connector shows but whatever its connected to doesnt... get an cheap external drive case and check again | 05:23 |
| EriC^^ | devians: sudo apt-mark hold <package>=<version> maybe | 05:23 |
| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: if you right click in the directory for the cd, do you see an "Open in terminal"? if so you can try doing that so you can run the script and be able to read any errors. Also, I believe you have to run it with sudo, if I recall correctly. | 05:23 |
| EriC^^ | devians: if that doesn't take a version argument, look into apt_preferences ( man apt_preferences ) | 05:23 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: ok, let me re-phrase this | 05:24 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: I have an external hard drive in a usb3 enclosure that I am connecting to the port on the usb3 card I once bought. | 05:24 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: this worked fine till about...a month ago, I think? | 05:25 |
| devians | sjm well I'm telling you the other one is _old_ | 05:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: tab complete can help you here, once you're in a terminal in the correct directory, you can type 'sudo' a space, the first few letters of the file, then hit tab to see what your options are. | 05:25 |
| Roey | then I notice that /backup has not been mounted at least as of the last uptime, which was ten days. | 05:25 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: so the USB 3.0 card isnt recognized? | 05:25 |
| Roey | it IS recognized | 05:25 |
| Roey | <Roey> Tobias[L]: the USB3 card I added shows up under lspci | 05:25 |
| Emrich | Their is a cd file folder in my system file path but it is not related to the guest additions. It should be known that i am not using a standard ubuntu distribution. | 05:25 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: but your hdd enclosure isnt | 05:25 |
| sjm | devians, it has nginx_1.6.2-1~precise_amd64.deb | 05:25 |
| Roey | correct. | 05:25 |
| Roey | and this is a new issue, it worked before. | 05:25 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: whats stopping you from jamming it inti an usb 2.0 port? | 05:26 |
| fedora_newb | Ok, so I have checked to make sure I have virtualization enabled in the bios (yes), 3d enabled, plenty of cpu and ram but ubuntu 14.04 reacts very slow in virtualbox vm. | 05:26 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: hmm. I suppose. | 05:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: Not sure what to advise then, have you loaded the guest additions image via the virtualbox menu? | 05:26 |
| Roey | let me try... | 05:26 |
| sjm | devians, that page says the official nginx one is at: | 05:26 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: USB 3.0 is explicitely marked as backwards compatible XD | 05:26 |
| sjm | deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx | 05:26 |
| sjm | deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx | 05:26 |
| uskerine | is syslog installed by default in ubuntu 12.04 minimal installation? | 05:26 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: if it isnt recognized there you need a new encasement | 05:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | Emrich: What did you click if you don't see the guest additions cd? | 05:27 |
| devians | sjm yeah. the releases on there are ancient though. | 05:27 |
| uskerine | -I see rsyslogd process but I can't find /etc/syslog.conf- | 05:27 |
| teoma | Is it possible to enable both headphone and speaker output on a laptop? | 05:27 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: look into jack audio server if it switching isnt hardwired into your audio card | 05:27 |
| Emrich | Hold on i might be able to fix it. Sighning off. | 05:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | also !ubuntu | 05:28 |
| teaearlgraycold | Can you have a remote PulseAudio connection? | 05:28 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: I'm already using jackd, actually. | 05:28 |
| sjm | devians, it looks like it has the same version you are trying to use: http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/pool/nginx/n/nginx/ | 05:28 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: yes you can, there is only a small package needed to open it to the network but it will lag and crack the audio | 05:28 |
| teaearlgraycold | Tobias[L], even on gigabit lan? | 05:29 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: then likely the switch is hardwired into your card, making it impossible to do so | 05:29 |
| devians | sjm maybe so, but if I use that source and pull the source, its for a totally different package, totally different version thats incomprehensible | 05:29 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: it is pulse that cracks, not the lan (tested for me from Gaming pc to taspberry pi/banana pi) | 05:29 |
| teaearlgraycold | :( | 05:29 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: I see, thanks... | 05:29 |
| teaearlgraycold | Would be really cool to steam my audio output like that | 05:29 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: do you see two audio outputs or a "switch" in the control panel when you plug in headphones? | 05:30 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: it's a software messup I think | 05:30 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: I just testd with another usb3 enclosure, got the same issue. | 05:30 |
| === Guest21309 is now known as Timido | ||
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: try it out but i guarantee it will mostly mess with the audio thing ... but if you are interested in that look into roard audio | 05:31 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: jup, just RoarD | 05:31 |
| teaearlgraycold | K, thanks | 05:31 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: try an older kernel version | 05:31 |
| Roey | don't have that luxury | 05:31 |
| Roey | not sure I have older ones available | 05:31 |
| Roey | but I un derstand what you mean | 05:31 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: I never use the panel -- would qjackctl be the program to use? | 05:32 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: is pulse still installed? i hope you use the alsa/pulse sink instead of having it replaced | 05:33 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: I am going to bed but if you want type and I will read tomorrow | 05:34 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: also two more issues: (1) my timezone is set corectly yet I have +5 hours on my clocks in KDE and in command line... why?? | 05:34 |
| uskerine | what does '-' mean in rsyslog.conf? mail.* -/var/log/mail.log | 05:34 |
| Tobias[L] | Roey: set time in kde clock app | 05:35 |
| teaearlgraycold | What does Linux have in terms of a firewall? | 05:35 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: I'm using PulseAudio's module-jack-sink and pamodule-jack-source. | 05:35 |
| Roey | Tobias[L]: NYC | 05:35 |
| Roey | it's 00:35 here now. | 05:35 |
| teoma | Sorry, that's module-jack-source. | 05:35 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: it doesnt need ine really since its secure by design but it has "ufw" for easy things and AppArmor for app-to-app things | 05:35 |
| x_root | how to fix power menu problem on ubuntu 14.04? | 05:35 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: open your ubuntu sound menu then | 05:35 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: the one where you see all inputs and outputs and the basic things in system settings | 05:36 |
| x_root | like, from top panel, i try to power off, but the power off button and session button don't work.. how can i fix this? | 05:36 |
| teaearlgraycold | Tobias[L], why doesn't it need one? You mean it's not a problem because apps aren't run as root? | 05:36 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: unlike windows ubuntu comes with zero to no services that actually can recieve and process data unless you explicitely install them. if a system doesnt react to any data stream it gets sent a firewall wont help anyway since there is nothing to block | 05:37 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: I'm embarrassed to say this in #ubuntu, but I'm actually using Debian... | 05:37 |
| teaearlgraycold | Tobias[L], well there's SSH which is packaged with Ubuntu | 05:38 |
| cfhowlett | teoma, no need for apology, but you really need to ask #debian for assistance with this | 05:38 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: UFW can block single ports or port and ip ranges how you want, use GUFW if you want to have it graphical. with apparmor you can limit an app's capabilites aswell as with SELinux rulesets | 05:38 |
| teaearlgraycold | Alright cool | 05:38 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: yep likely, i dont knwo how to display soundcard names in debian or linux | 05:39 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: but a tip: my display changes form "analog speakers" to "headphones" when plugged in, offered by my soundcard which suggests what to use which results in having both possible to use. cheap cards may just reroute the signal if it is plugged in | 05:39 |
| pentagon_ | Why isn't the machine resolving hostnames? | 05:40 |
| Tobias[L] | teaearlgraycold: and ssh aswell is most likely secured and not accessible on most installations (dunno if still but on most linuxes i need to install ssh-server for ssh to work) (only desktop OSes) | 05:41 |
| teoma | Tobias[L]: Thanks very much for the help! | 05:41 |
| Tobias[L] | teoma: no problem, lets hope you dont have the cheap reroute solution but both streams accessible instead ^^ | 05:41 |

| lotuspsychje | im looking for a GUI package that can enable/disable /etc/init system services, now im disabling them the manual way with service.override trick | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | any ideas? | 05:47 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: I know such things exist :) | 05:48 |
| reisio | CentOS comes with one, which is presumably generic for GNOME+whatever init CentOS uses | 05:48 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: i tyed many packages like jobs-admin, bum and others but they dont show all system services right the new upstart way | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: i also read ubuntu 16 will have systemd in the future | 05:50 |
| reisio | it will, if Debian is still using systemd | 05:51 |
| === uwishuno is now known as uwishununoware | ||
| lotuspsychje | reisio: well systemd can brake things i hear..if we still use the /etc/init | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: so im seerahcing for a nice package :p | 05:51 |
| reisio | you tend to want one init system solution at a time, yes | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | yep, just wanna tweak boot time with unwanted services like CUPS | 05:52 |
| reisio | why not cease rebooting? :p | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: meaning? | 05:52 |
| reisio | why reboot | 05:53 |
| lotuspsychje | lol this is a netbook not a server | 05:53 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: makes no difference | 05:54 |
| GoldenAngle | A shrewd man conceals what he knows, | 05:55 |
| GoldenAngle | But the heart of the fool blurts out his foolishness. | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: checl ls /etc/init i want some of those disabled | 05:55 |

| pentagon_ | Where does dnsmasq look for nameservers to use? | 05:56 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: I doubt most have much effect on boot time | 05:56 |

| cfhowlett | ZGN, you'll need to manually delete the windows bootloader entry = ask ##windows | 08:55 |
| hillary | i need to completely remove netbeans 7.4 in my ubuntu 14.04. which command can use to carry out | 08:55 |
| OerHeks | removal in windows softwarecenter should do | 08:55 |
| Ben64 | hillary: sudo apt-get purge netbeans | 08:56 |
| ZGN | There is no Windows Software Centre lol:p | 08:56 |
| ZGN | Guys it shouldnt be this hard to remove an OS what do I do | 08:56 |
| OerHeks | ZNG sure, you said windows 7 ... | 08:56 |
| hillary | ok thanks | 08:56 |
| ZGN | Yes, there is no Such thing as Windows Software Centre. | 08:56 |
| cfhowlett | ZGN, told you already. select the partition, delete and fix the bootloader | 08:57 |
| ZGN | Same partition as Windows. | 08:57 |
| * OerHeks facepalms | 08:57 | |

| eb0t | i dont know anything about the windows bootloader...but you could get a live cd/ zgn and using fdisk you could remove the ubuntu partition | 08:58 |
| cfhowlett | ZGN, ubuntu is inside a windows folder, yes? delete the folder. | 08:58 |
| eb0t | but like the others said from there you will have to update the mbr | 08:58 |
| OerHeks | eb0t, inside windows means ZNG used wubi. | 08:58 |
| bubbasaures | ZGN, It is in add remove use it with admin | 08:59 |
| ZGN | Ok, How would I go about removeing/changiing the SU password? | 08:59 |
| eb0t | ah great ...thanks as i didnt think it was possible prior to now to actually install ubuntu on a ntfs partition | 08:59 |
| eb0t | so wubi is the way | 08:59 |
| cfhowlett | eb0t, except that, as has been stated repeatedly, wubi is NOT the way. unsupported. will break 14.04 onwards | 09:00 |
| ZGN | Ok, How would I go about removeing/changiing the SU password without effecting the mount of Windows 7. | 09:00 |
| eb0t | no i mean it is how it was done | 09:00 |
| eb0t | i didnt know it could be done | 09:00 |
| OerHeks | win7 was the last windows what supported wubi | 09:00 |
| ZGN | Can anyone answer me?:p | 09:01 |

| ZGN | I need to Change root password. | 09:01 |
| eb0t | if so then just open a terminal ..log in to root...and then type passwd root | 09:01 |

| ash`wrk | hey guys - i'm having driver hell atm | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | cynicallemon: right after that it says "use at your own risk!" | 09:06 |
| ash`wrk | Does anyone know how to install ATI drivers so i can install the thing? | 09:06 |
| cynicallemon | Ben64: what risk? | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | cynicallemon: i'm sure its well documented somewhere else, i'm not getting into that here | 09:06 |
| OerHeks | cynicallemon, no it is not on the ubuntu site | 09:07 |
| cynicallemon | Ben64: its for simplicity but not scurity | 09:07 |
| Twinkie | So I have a question regarding hardware compatibility to ubuntu. Anyone knowledgable enough to assist? | 09:07 |

| cynicallemon | OerHeks: it may have been on the docs or forums | 09:08 |
| OerHeks | cynicallemon, again, not. and a forum post is not the official view. sure someone responded to that not to do it. | 09:09 |
| cynicallemon | OerHeks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:10 |
| cynicallemon | OerHeks: please check yours facts before telling someone they dont know the facts | 09:10 |
| Ben64 | cynicallemon: can we just stop this discussion already? its not a supported method, and not good advice to be giving in this channel | 09:11 |
| RahulAN | there is no trusty ppa | 09:11 |
| RahulAN | for terra | 09:11 |
| Twinkie | Sorry in advance for spam. Alright. I just need to know if my specs will run on ubuntu or if I'll need to take extra steps to make them work. The specs are as follows : Motherboard : Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 | 09:11 |
| Twinkie | ---CPU : AMD FX 9370 8-core | 09:11 |
| Twinkie | ---GPU : Sapphire Radeon R9 280x--- Ram : Gskill 16gb(8x2), 1600 MHz | 09:11 |
| Twinkie | --- Sound Card : Asus Xonar DS...... | 09:11 |
| Ben64 | RahulAN: then talk to the maintainer about it, has nothing to do with this channel | 09:11 |
| RahulAN | is it same to install it from another ppa? | 09:11 |
| OerHeks | cynicallemon, see, there are warnings all over. | 09:12 |
| cynicallemon | OerHeks: yes and its on an official ubuntu site... | 09:12 |
| OerHeks | cynicallemon, don't suggest it here. | 09:14 |
| cynicallemon | OerHeks: i didnt suggest it i answered somebodies query - its called freedom to speak, even mark would agree | 09:15 |
| cfhowlett | cynicallemon, can we please move on now?? | 09:16 |
| cynicallemon | sure | 09:16 |
| cynicallemon | next question... | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | cynicallemon: just don't suggest that in the future | 09:16 |
| cynicallemon | Ben64: see above response | 09:17 |
| Ben64 | no, do not suggest that here in the future | 09:17 |
| cynicallemon | Ben64: its useful for everyone to know actually even if they dont use it. | 09:19 |
| Ben64 | cynicallemon: no | 09:19 |
| OerHeks | cynicallemon, you want to win, isn it? | 09:20 |
| cynicallemon | OerHeks: im not bothered about winning im bothered about informing | 09:20 |

| Twinkie | Anyone able to respond to my hardware question? If you know your stuff I'd love the input. | 09:25 |
| cfhowlett | Twinkie, the gpu is a radeon, isn't it? not the best record of linux support. Intel or Nvidia are preferred IIRC | 09:25 |
| cfhowlett | Twinkie, in fact, avoid AMD altogether if possible | 09:26 |
| Twinkie | My whole system is AMD, I can't avoid it ._. i built it lol | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | nothing wrong with amd cpu | 09:26 |
| mdoge | only a little bit | 09:26 |
| Twinkie | So you think my GPU will have issues? | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | quite possibly | 09:27 |
| Twinkie | Are they unable to be solved or really ahrd to solve? | 09:27 |
| Twinkie | hard* | 09:27 |
| cfhowlett | !amd | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | not sure, last ati i had was radeon 9200 | 09:27 |
| Twinkie | Ah, so I could possibly get lucky with this new-ish card being compatible. Mm. | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | might need a newer version of the drivers than ubuntu ships with, you may need to use the xorg-edgers PPA | 09:28 |
| OerHeks | Twinkie, forum tread about your videocard, it is working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2244700 | 09:28 |
| Twinkie | Whoa, you're a good hunter | 09:29 |
| Twinkie | I'll check it out real quick | 09:29 |
| hateball | Twinkie: The issues are more related to performance than it working at all, afaik | 09:30 |
| hateball | For any AMD GPU, that is | 09:30 |
| Twinkie | So basically it DOES work, but the performance might be pooped on, even with proper drivers. | 09:32 |
| Twinkie | @Ben64 what would xorg-edgers PPA be? I know next to nothing about linux/ubuntu related softwares | 09:35 |
| Twinkie | if that even is a software O-o | 09:35 |
| ash`wrk | i'm going to just give up | 09:36 |
| hateball | Twinkie: It's a means of getting updated graphics stuff | 09:36 |
| Ben64 | Twinkie: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories, they are unsupported. xorg-edgers is one that provides bleeding edge drivers and other display stuff | 09:36 |
| ash`wrk | i want to stab microsoft in the face with a big knfie | 09:36 |

| dragan | should i upgrade to 14.10 or should i stick to 14.04(lts) till next lts(16.04)? | 09:51 |
| Ben64 | dragan: really up to you | 09:51 |
| lotuspsychje | dragan: i would stick to trusty | 09:51 |
| lotuspsychje | dragan: alot of users with screen issues on 14.10 | 09:51 |
| lotuspsychje | dragan: depends what you choose like Ben64 suggests | 09:52 |
| enyc | dragan: if 14.04 LTS is working for you keep it!! new versions introduce lots of smaller changes and potential problems... | 09:53 |
| enyc | dragan: AIUI there will be lots of disruptive changes on the way to 16.04 which will hopefully improve matters =) | 09:53 |
| enyc | dragan: but will take time to sort out... as always | 09:54 |
| dragan | im using ubuntu since 8 but i've heard that xx.10 releases arent so stable like xx.04 releases. i will probably wait unitll 15.04(i could swear i've red that ubuntu is gonna be on the roll release). Anyways where i can inform that my dell 5520 hardware gonna work? | 09:56 |
| Ben64 | dragan: theres no difference between .04 and .10, LTS ones happen to be 8.04 10.04 12.04 14.04 16.04, but 13.04, 15.04, etc are not LTS | 09:59 |
| bernard__ | #python | 10:02 |
| enyc | dragan: avoid saying just '8' -- thtas confusing... 8.04 and 8.10 are different releases -- LTS releases are generally more stable versions indeed... | 10:02 |
| enyc | dragan: the best thing you can do is boot the live-CD / live-USB on the dell-5520 and see if it works well! you don't need to install it to test... | 10:03 |

| hmmwhatsthisdo | no dice | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | christian_: ubuntu version always | 11:17 |
| christian_ | but it says these versions are not maintained | 11:17 |

| White_Cat | I am fairly new to ubuntu | 12:50 |
| White_Cat | how can I have these three commands apply on each reboot? | 12:50 |
| White_Cat | http://pastebin.com/1ymRs2TM | 12:50 |
| White_Cat | would it be possible to add them to http://www.theopensourcerer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/odoo-server ? | 12:51 |
| DJones | White_Cat: I know who runs that website, but they're not online at the moment | 12:52 |
| faust | White_Cat: "sudo iptables-save" does not do what you mey think | 12:52 |
| faust | may* | 12:52 |
| White_Cat | when I run those three lines it redirects the two ips | 12:52 |
| Ben64 | White_Cat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 12:52 |
| White_Cat | I am not 100% sure what I am doing with these, I am open to other suggestions | 12:52 |
| White_Cat | these commands to achieve what I want but they are lost on reboot | 12:53 |
| Ben64 | White_Cat: that link i gave you has a few options for that | 12:53 |
| faust | White_Cat: however here you should find how to save iptables rules: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 12:53 |
| White_Cat | Ben64 ya I am reading, its a fairly detailed list | 12:53 |
| White_Cat | "If you were to reboot your machine right now, your iptables configuration would disappear. Rather than type this each time you reboot, however, you can save the configuration, and have it start up automatically. To save the configuration, you can use iptables-save and iptables-restore." | 12:54 |
| White_Cat | faust is that what you mean? | 12:55 |
| White_Cat | oh he left | 12:55 |
| White_Cat | or she | 12:55 |
| White_Cat | Ben64 that is among the commands I use | 12:55 |
| Ben64 | White_Cat: continue reading and it shows how to use them | 12:55 |
| White_Cat | okay | 12:55 |
| White_Cat | I imagine what concerns me more is the "Configuration on Startup for NetworkManager" section | 12:57 |
| iLoveJava1 | I am actually running Linux Mint. I have installed JDK 8 from the tar.gz package by uncompressing it, copying it to /opt/java/jdk8/ add symlinks to /usr/bin and 'sudo apt-get --update-alternatives'. Now when I try to download GeoGebra using synaptics, i could see openjdk-7, openjdk-7-headless, default-jre-7 and default-jre-headless in the dependencies to be downloaded list. how to tell synaptic that I have manually installed jdk and never ask me to install | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | iLoveJava1: mint is not supported here, seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 13:00 |
| k1l | iLoveJava1:please ask the mint guys since they handle the updates and repos differently | 13:00 |
| iLoveJava1 | i thought since the package management system is apt and synaptic, the procedures would be same | 13:00 |
| AlanBell | White_Cat: are you using iptables-persistent? | 13:01 |
| iLoveJava1 | could you please tell how would you get around this if this was an ubuntu pc? | 13:01 |
| Ben64 | iLoveJava1: the repositories are different though, with different packages | 13:01 |
| Twinkie | I would assume that Mint and Ubuntu run very differently, so even if they told you how to fix whatever problem on ubuntu, it wouldn't work on mint. It would more likely break something than fix it | 13:02 |
| Twinkie | Well, it "probably" wouldn't work on mint, I should say, coz I have no idea. Just assuming. | 13:03 |
| iLoveJava1 | let's get more generic. I have manually installed a package from tar.gz archive. I need to tell apt that i have this package and mark it as an installed package so that apt wont ask again to install it as a dependency | 13:03 |
| AlanBell | White_Cat: iptables-save doesn't actually save anything, it just gives you some output that you could potentially save somewhere and then restore later, the saving and restoring bit is up to you, or install iptables-persistent and it does what you would expect in the first place | 13:03 |
| cfhowlett | iLoveJava1, mint does mint and mint is not ubuntu. for ubuntu support; install ubuntu. otherwise; ask mint. | 13:04 |
| Twinkie | Well sed. | 13:04 |
| Twinkie | said* I dissapoint myself. | 13:04 |
| iLoveJava1 | disappoint* :) | 13:04 |
| Twinkie | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</3 | 13:04 |
| k1l | iLoveJava1: again: mint does that package handling a lot differently so ubuntu updates dont override their mint stuff. so ask them. | 13:05 |
| iLoveJava1 | hmm | 13:05 |
| White_Cat | sudo apt-get install network-manager gives an error | 13:09 |
| sacarlson | iLoveJava1: why don't you just let it install the wanted dependancy then overwrite the ban after if that is a benifit | 13:10 |
| White_Cat | Err http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main libsystemd-login0 amd64 204-5ubuntu20.7 404 Not Found | 13:10 |
| sacarlson | ban = bin | 13:10 |
| iLoveJava1 | I already have installed jdk 8. I am on a dialup connection and ~ 100 MB is pretty large for me. Also oracle jdk 8 is not available in mint repos | 13:11 |
| jpds | White_Cat: apt-get update | 13:11 |
| White_Cat | ah yeah | 13:11 |
| White_Cat | weird that it didnt work | 13:12 |
| k1l | iLoveJava1: last time now: ask the mint guys | 13:12 |
| k1l | !mint | iLoveJava1 | 13:12 |
| ubottu | iLoveJava1: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 13:12 |

| zapmed | Hello, I'm using 14.04 and installed NGINX using apt-get but there is no nginx script in /etc/init.d/nginx and this breaks some automated scripts. What's strange is that 'sudo service nginx status' works flawlessly, how do I solve this? | 13:24 |
| White_Cat | -bash: gksudo: command not found | 13:26 |
| White_Cat | eh? | 13:26 |
| White_Cat | does gk have a special meaning or is it just a typo | 13:26 |
| daftykins | White_Cat: it's not on as default anymore | 13:26 |
| White_Cat | do I need it? | 13:27 |
| daftykins | White_Cat: you're supposed to use gksu / gksudo to run graphical programs as root, yes. | 13:27 |
| yeux2lune | gksu | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | White_Cat, gksudo is to launch gui apps with su privilege. just like gksuu | 13:27 |
| White_Cat | oh this is on ubuntu server | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | *gksu* | 13:27 |
| White_Cat | thats why it was weird | 13:27 |
| White_Cat | I am trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 13:27 |
| White_Cat | gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01firewall | 13:28 |
| White_Cat | gedit is possibly a graphical edit | 13:28 |
| White_Cat | I'd be using nano instead possibly | 13:28 |
| daftykins | White_Cat: yes... :P | 13:28 |
| trijntje_ | White_Cat: sudo -H | 13:28 |
| trijntje_ | instead of gksu or gksudo | 13:29 |
| White_Cat | ah | 13:29 |
| White_Cat | what does -H do? | 13:29 |
| trijntje_ | White_Cat: it makes sure the file permissions dont get messed up I think. If you run sudo firefox all firefox config files will get root permissions, so you cant run it as a normal user anymore. With sudo -H this doesnt happen | 13:30 |
| White_Cat | oh | 13:30 |

| Sluimers | daftykins, can I remotely connect to another desktop halfway across the world? | 14:31 |
| daftykins | Sluimers: what's it running? what protocol? | 14:31 |
| Sluimers | daftykins, It's running Ubuntu, I have no idea what protocol it can run. It's basically a friend's computer who needs my assistance. | 14:32 |
| daftykins | Sluimers: ok, teamviewer would make more sense then | 14:33 |
| * Sluimers looks up teamviewer | 14:33 | |
| geirha | Sluimers: If your friend has enabled desktop sharing in his ubuntu, it means you can connect to it with VNC | 14:35 |
| Sluimers | geirha, but not RDP? | 14:35 |
| daftykins | RDP is Windows' protocol. | 14:35 |
| Sluimers | Thanks for clearing that up guys. So VNC is Linux protocol? | 14:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | NOW I remember why I don't use Konversation... | 14:36 |
| daftykins | Sluimers: it's multiple, but it's not secure because it sends passwords in plain text. so teamviewer is still the better option | 14:36 |
| compdoc | Sluimers, you can install xrdp on ubuntu and connect with windows rdp clients | 14:36 |

| HappyNewYear13 | i have a script that changes my background daily according to astronomy pic of the day and now i noticed it hasnt worked, and now i try to check my appeareance settings and the icon is gone | 15:11 |
| reisio | HappyNewYear13: probably unrelated | 15:12 |
| HappyNewYear13 | my script doesnt function anymore. this command gsettings: set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///$APOD_FILE_TODAY" | 15:12 |
| HappyNewYear13 | reisio, it has to do because when installing uninstalling pulse some windows appear transparent as if i had a memory resources problem which is not the case | 15:13 |

| reisio | HappyNewYear13: maybe, I just doubt it has to do with pulse | 15:13 |
| reisio | samthewildone: well it's not a very mature codebase | 15:13 |
| samthewildone | Openshot will crash randomly, blender would crash when rendering.... | 15:14 |

| samthewildone | reisio, hasn't gnome been around for ages or it is the ubuntu gnome itself. | 15:14 |
| samthewildone | reisio, I might just go switch back to unity. | 15:14 |

| samthewildone | reisio, smart... eh. | 15:15 |
| reisio | samthewildone: the project is mature, the code is not | 15:15 |
| samthewildone | reisio, though I was having crashes with unity itself. | 15:15 |
| reisio | also it's lost its leader, for whatever that's worth | 15:15 |
| reisio | well compiz is pretty buggy itself :) | 15:15 |
| cfhowlett | reisio, ?EH? lost its leader? got a link? | 15:15 |

| DwarfFromWest | Hi | 16:48 |
| DwarfFromWest | Is there some way I can format my USB drive WITHOUT using gparted? | 16:48 |
| linocisco | phunyguy, if ubuntu has problem at kernel or boot, it is downgraded to busybox as much as I understand | 16:48 |
| phunyguy | linocisco: that is not relevant | 16:48 |
| linocisco | phunyguy, that is why I am hoping ubuntu guys know that | 16:48 |
| phunyguy | sorry, please find a more appropriate channel. | 16:49 |

| DwarfFromWest | I can't delete the files manually :/ | 16:51 |
| phunyguy | DwarfFromWest: why is gparted not an option, if I may ask? | 16:51 |
| DwarfFromWest | It's a read-only file system. Is it perhaps a permission issue? | 16:51 |
| DwarfFromWest | phunyguy: I'm on a slow connection, and gparted might take a while to install. | 16:51 |
| phunyguy | DwarfFromWest: you can use fdisk. | 16:52 |
| phunyguy | from command line | 16:52 |
| genii | DwarfFromWest: fdisk maybe for the partitioning, if you don't mind CLI | 16:52 |
| DwarfFromWest | Okay, how do I use it? | 16:52 |
| DwarfFromWest | `fdisk -l` gives me this: "/dev/sdb5 2048 3905535 1951744 6 FAT16" | 16:53 |
| DwarfFromWest | phunyguy: Never mind. I have gparted installed. Now? | 16:55 |

| === Guest65170 is now known as molusco | ||
| DwarfFromWest | phunyguy: The device isn't listed in GParted. | 16:56 |
| linelevel | Hi all. After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 on my Thinkpad T410, I can no longer resume from suspend. It starts to resume, but the screen remains blank. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 works (I see the prompt), but going back to Ctrl+Alt+F7 just brings me back to a blank screen. Note that I'm using the Nouveau drivers, because the proprietary Nvidia drivers have even worse problems. | 16:56 |
| DwarfFromWest | fdisk -l says the USB is /dev/sdb5, but in GParted, /dev/sdb5 is 'linux-swap'. Why is that? | 16:57 |
| phunyguy | DwarfFromWest: strange | 16:57 |
| phunyguy | DwarfFromWest: anything in `dmesg | tail` ? | 16:57 |
| phunyguy | (when you unplug and replug USB drive) | 16:57 |
| DwarfFromWest | [16505.024674] FAT-fs (sdc5): error, fat_bmap_cluster: request beyond EOF (i_pos 7691) | 16:58 |
| DwarfFromWest | That repeated a few times ^ | 16:58 |
| phunyguy | you may have some filesystem errors | 16:59 |
| Cyllpher | Not sure how to word this question -- so my example will be, if I browse to my linux machine from windows i can see my user directory (set that up in samba and it's working perfectly), however if I browse to it from my linux VM (with same username/password) I can't see that user directory. Any way to make that work without delving into LDAP or NIS? | 16:59 |
| phunyguy | make sure the drive is not mounted, and perform a fsck, please | 16:59 |
| phunyguy | !fsck | 16:59 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 16:59 |
| DwarfFromWest | Oops. I didn't choose the correct disk from the dropdown on top-right. | 17:00 |
| DwarfFromWest | Unmounted, and there's a Format To option. Cool. | 17:00 |
| phunyguy | DwarfFromWest: yeah I get that, but the read-only thing is caused by a bad filesystem | 17:00 |
| phunyguy | so if you want to format great, but it may not be needed | 17:00 |
| DwarfFromWest | phunyguy: that's fine :) | 17:01 |
| phunyguy | ok cool. Good luck. | 17:01 |
| DwarfFromWest | How long does it normally take though? It's just a 2 GB USB drive. | 17:01 |
| DwarfFromWest | It still says "Operation pending". | 17:01 |
| phunyguy | that really depends on many factors | 17:01 |
| DwarfFromWest | Like what? | 17:02 |
| Helping_Hands | hiyo, i am unable to download ubuntu for intel architecture. On they download page, it says in the link amd64, and when i try to boot it says x86-64 cpu required but only detected i686. | 17:04 |
| daftykins | Helping_Hands: you need to use 32-bit | 17:05 |
| Helping_Hands | daftykins, I see | 17:06 |
| daftykins | Helping_Hands: amd64 runs on 64-bit capable CPUs of both intel and AMD, but yours is not 64-bit capable :) | 17:06 |

| daftykins | ok that's definitely a 64-bit capable processor so something is seriously wrong here | 17:08 |
| Helping_Hands | phunyguy, I think so | 17:08 |
| phunyguy | Helping_Hands: is 64bit disabled in the BIOS somehow? Is that even possible? | 17:09 |

| Helping_Hands | daftykins, you guys are great + phunyguy , ill reboot and look for virtualization enabled | 17:10 |

| daftykins | save RAM + disk by sticking to 32-bit, then you can run more | 17:11 |
| Helping_Hands | daftykins, i maybe running 64 bit malware | 17:11 |
| daftykins | only the host OS needs to be 64-bit capable to address the 6GB RAM | 17:11 |

| dispy | Hi. export GUROBI_HOME="/home/some_path/dev/gurobi/linux64" << if I put this line in .profile, my gui doesn't start up any more though I couldn't find someething in the log. Anything obvious to this problem=? | 17:28 |
| hwilde | dispy, on command line type "locate gurobi" | 17:30 |
| nszceta | can I create and run linux containers within an openvz VPS? | 17:30 |
| jpds | nszceta: It's openvz already like a container? | 17:31 |
| jpds | nszceta: I mean, it shares the host's kernel. | 17:31 |
| nszceta | yes, container within the openvz container | 17:31 |
| jpds | nszceta: You need to go DEEPER. | 17:31 |
| nszceta | LXC container within OpenVZ container | 17:31 |
| nszceta | we must go deeper | 17:31 |
| hwilde | that's what she said @ jpds | 17:31 |

| dispy | hwilde: this isn't from a package but a local installation | 17:32 |
| hwilde | dispy, yes so the 'locate' command will tell you where the path is | 17:32 |
| hwilde | dispy, http://www.gurobi.com/documentation/5.6/quick-start-guide/installation_linux | 17:32 |

| nszceta | jpds: damn it | 17:33 |
| hwilde | dispy, does everything work when you set it via cmd line ? | 17:34 |

| hwilde | dispy, logout/login only reloads bashrc, same as source | 17:38 |
| HelenaKitty | MonkeyDust, You didn't read the question and then you gave me an unrelated answer. I didn't ask how to backup, I asked about configure file compatibility between two Unity versions! | 17:38 |
| Wachu | s | 17:38 |
| dispy | hwilde right, but something must be wrong. .profile is executed on startup too, if I copy it into the command line, it works fine ,so why does .profile crash my gui then? | 17:38 |
| MonkeyDust | HelenaKitty i suggested rsync, so you don't have to worry about that compatibility | 17:39 |
| mekhami | what tool can i use to easily reformat my hard drive in ubuntu? i'm leaving my job and want this to be a clean install with none of my personal information on it... i | 17:40 |
| hwilde | dispy, the generic answer is, .profile is loaded at login, and .bashrc is loaded when the terminal is opened... but I dunno why one would fail and one would succeed, especially if you are just doing an export. | 17:40 |
| daftykins | mekhami: 'dd' to zero fill it :P | 17:40 |
| hwilde | !shredder | 17:41 |
| hwilde | no bot today? | 17:41 |
| HelenaKitty | MonkeyDust, I don't need backup suggestion as that wasn't the question at all. I want to know about the compatibility between Unity 7 and Unity 8. I need to know if I will have to convert my Unity 7 configuration files to Unity 8 or will they just work. | 17:41 |

| TimeVirus | ok | 17:56 |
| Guest65348 | mekhami: to zero over a hard disk (multiple passes aren't really required) you can use shred. First find the block device label (generally something like /dev/sda for the hard disk with /dev/sda1 being the first partition and so on) you can just run gparted to find the partition or disk label. Then run shred on that device name. The syntax would be "shred -n 0 -z (block device name here)". -n 0 #zero passes of random data / -z #ex | 17:57 |
| eb0t | sudo ping 10.19.25.1 TimeVirus | 17:57 |

| TimeVirus | makes me no sense that ping wouldnt be allowed on this network | 18:01 |

| eb0t | normally or sometimes they usually diable ping on the outside interface ..that is your public ip | 18:02 |
| TimeVirus | HexChat is ok | 18:02 |

| Guest65348 | I just installed an ubuntu variant and forgot to set the boot partition to be mounted at /boot during startup. The installer seems to have created a /boot folder in my root partition and put the most recent (and currently running) kernel image there. Ideally there is just the boot partition which is mounted at /boot at startup. I can put an fstab entry in but how would I go about merging the two safely. | 18:12 |

| eb0t | only irssi and weechat and pidgin | 19:33 |
| Outld | MonkeyDust okay ;) thanks | 19:33 |
| riku | but it messed up my input, it's misaligned | 19:33 |
| bubbasaures | m0h4wk, gparted is on the live boot it, you have to be unmounted to resize. | 19:34 |
| m0h4wk | I'm not sure what that means :( | 19:34 |
| m0h4wk | I just installed Linux yesterday and am still getting used to it | 19:34 |
| squinty | m0h4wk: gparted is included on your live dvd. you will have to use it after you have checked over (reshrunk or whatever) your windows setup in windows itself | 19:34 |
| eb0t | i think he means switch off your coputer and boot from the disk to resize | 19:35 |
| bubbasaures | m0h4wk, When your in the OS your mounted, you can't resize linux from inside it, with the partiton of it you have. | 19:35 |

| riku | the touch input thinks my screen is still portrait... | 19:35 |
| m0h4wk | Ok that makes sense, can't resize the partition if I'm using it right? | 19:36 |
| m0h4wk | So how do I work around that? | 19:36 |
| eb0t | switch off you pc and then on again with the live disk in | 19:36 |
| bubbasaures | m0h4wk, Yes, and get used to prefacing all posts with the nicks of whom you're answering please. | 19:36 |

| k1l | m0h4wk: applications that dont get started on boot dont hurt you beside the small amount of disk space they use. but with 100GB+ a 50mb program should not matter | 20:18 |
| bubbasaures | UncleJoe, You have the sda HD being read first I assume in the bios, the errors you get are beyond my support ability is all. | 20:19 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: ok. that are things you can remove easily using the softwarecenter, for example. | 20:19 |
| squinty | floatmastaflex: unity also uses compiz so you might want to check out compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) though I am not 100% sure that has any bearing on your problem just a thought anyways | 20:19 |

| k1l | m0h4wk: its the servers offering the packages with that you can install programs easily | 20:29 |
| earnThis | I need some help configuring both eth0 and eth1 for two separate networks. currently only eth0 is working | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: What did you check last boot? | 20:29 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Also, my internet speed seems to have dropped when I switched over to Ubuntu. My download speed in Steam used to be 7-10 megabytes per second. And now it's 2-3 megabytes per second. | 20:30 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: Smart status | 20:30 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Oh ok that makes sense. | 20:30 |
| bazhang | m0h4wk, what command did you use to enable the partner repos | 20:30 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: the partner repo is the one with programs not from ubuntu or open source but from commercial partners like microsoft (skype) etc. | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: OK. If you're still booted into a LiveCD/USB try running "sudo fsck /dev/sda2". Note that this could take a long time, so be prepared to wait and don't cancel it half way through. | 20:31 |
| m0h4wk | I enabled the partner repo and installed Skype, no problems here! | 20:31 |
| bazhang | great | 20:31 |
| m0h4wk | But I am having connection issues with my Ethernet | 20:31 |
| m0h4wk | The speed is lacking compared to what it was in Windows 8.1 | 20:32 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: Rebooting to live now | 20:32 |

| TimeVirus | bah | 20:33 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Of note, you are booting an old kernel, why ? also need to address the "duplicate entries" in your sources file(s) . | 20:33 |
| m0h4wk | Can anyone help me with my network issues? | 20:33 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: steam servers do vary in speed a lot. dont count that as test | 20:34 |
| UncleJoe | Bashing-om: I don't know the answer to your kernel question. This is how I set it up over a year ago *(with massive help) and I haven't touched it since | 20:34 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Alright, well what would be a good way to test it then? | 20:34 |
| m0h4wk | How can I accurately test my connection speed? | 20:37 |
| chemist^ | hello everyone. | 20:38 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: /dev/sda2: clean *now, after adding a -y | 20:38 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Presently, unless Jordan_U Has a better advisement- when you get the fsck and SMART test completed:, I would suggest we try and get the server updated, maybe then we can isolate the " loading shared libraries " problem ?? | 20:38 |
| UncleJoe | Bashing-om: Seems reasonable | 20:38 |
| UncleJoe | Drive seems fixed | 20:38 |

| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: I very much doubt that boot-repair will help you with this problem. | 20:43 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: I was hoping not to hear that | 20:43 |
| UncleJoe | Is it due to the different architectures? Intel/Amd? | 20:43 |
| chemist^ | zykotick9, i used to import "songs" from an audio cd into Audacity for example | 20:43 |
| TimeVirus | I have to use BRD all the time for to get my Lubuntu to boot from the external | 20:44 |

| === Guest93429 is now known as MobGod | ||
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: No, Intel and AMD processors share the same architecture. | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | it's the API and HW drivers tht don't match | 20:45 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: I don't get it then- I cleanly shut down, mounted the HDDs in 0/1 and it should boot... | 20:45 |
| TimeVirus | It'll boot once then i have to repair grub before it boots again and on and on | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: It sounds to me like you somehow got some important system files corrupted. You might try installing debsums in a chroot to see what files have been corrupted, but it may be wiser to simply re-install. | 20:46 |
| djzn | what is the DEFAULT "Terminus Font" in Ubuntu CLI terminal (with no X11 loaded) | 20:46 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Humm .. not good .. as an attempt to isolate to grub's install, there is an option on the desptop liveDVD to "boot from 1st hard drive" . When this option is selected, will the server boot ? | 20:46 |
| UncleJoe | Bashing-om: Trying now | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: Is this on a BIOS based or UEFI bases system that you're constantly having grub problems? | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | djzn: ? terminus is a specific font, and certainly not the default console font (i use to change the default console font to terminus) | 20:47 |
| TimeVirus | BIOS based | 20:48 |
| UncleJoe | Bashing-om: Dropped to a busybox shell? | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: Sounds to me like the grub-pc package is misconfigured. Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc", "sudo blkid", and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/". | 20:49 |
| MrJones | is there a good way to measure disk throughput of an active system? | 20:49 |
| MrJones | I think I got some disk i/o slowness but I don't know how to confirm my suspicion | 20:49 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | MrJones: iotop is a terminal based realtime montior | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | !info iotop | 20:50 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Yeah. something hosed up in the install boot config files // Jordan_U; is it of benefit to try and CHroot and (re-)install grub ? | 20:50 |

| MrJones | is there a way I can see that disk i/o is maxed out? | 20:50 |
| MrJones | like if I see something in iotop, how do I know the application is just lazy or whether the disk isn't going any faster than that | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | Bashing-om: I see no indication of a problem with grub, so no. | 20:53 |
| MrJones | if jdb2 maxes out on IO for a few seconds (80% something), would that indicate hitting the disk i/o limit? | 20:53 |
| Bashing-om | Jordan_U: k | 20:53 |

| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: Please boot back into a liveCD/USB and run "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/" then "sudo chroot /mnt/" and tell me when that's done. | 20:54 |

| djzn | zykotick9, terminus font is the console font in ubuntu | 20:59 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: Well, that crushed my only understanding of a problem. :) | 20:59 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: (The other direction, your LiveCD being 32 bit and the install 64 bit would be a problem). | 20:59 |
| djzn | zykotick9, it has many variations... | 20:59 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: And you installed 'boot-repair' to the 64 bit live environment, and wrote 64 bit files to 32 bit OS ? Is that the situation ? | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | djzn: hummm, that certainly didn't use to be the case (terminus being default i mean). wasn't aware there where different versions of terminus (other then regular and bold) - well best of luck. | 21:00 |

| TimeVirus | whats that asterisk about in there? under deconf-show grub-pc? | 21:04 |
| === aslkfjsldfjlsjsl is now known as Toast_ | ||
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: OK. It looks like grub-pc is configured to install grub's boot sector only to the external drive, not the internal one. When you're trying to boot, are you explicitly telling your BIOS to boot from the external? | 21:04 |
| delt | "apt-get install libsdl1.2:i386" gives me Package libsdl1.2:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:05 |

| TimeVirus | yes I even remove the internal from the boot options sometime to get the external to boot | 21:05 |
| delt | i could just copy the files, but i want to know how to do it properly | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: That just means that that particular configuration variable is one that you as a user have been prompted about. | 21:06 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 21:06 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: OK. When it fails to boot properly, what does happen instead? | 21:06 |
| TimeVirus | if I | 21:06 |
| TimeVirus | if I've removed the internal from boot options then it says I dont have a boot media present or something like that | 21:07 |
| TimeVirus | and | 21:07 |
| TimeVirus | if I havent removed the internal it will boot from it unless I've used Boor-Rpair-Disk just previous to this boot | 21:08 |
| TimeVirus | understand? | 21:08 |
| TimeVirus | and even if i've used BRD it still fails to boot from external | 21:08 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 21:08 |
| TimeVirus | try again | 21:09 |
| TimeVirus | works | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: I don't understand "if I havent removed the internal it will boot from it unless I've used Boor-Rpair-Disk just previous to this boot", could you please try to rephrase that? | 21:09 |
| TimeVirus | mk | 21:09 |
| kate_r | hi | 21:09 |
| TimeVirus | when I want to boot from the external I have to use BRD to repair Grub on it | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: It seems like somehow you have an odd and broken combination of a 32 bit and 64 bit system. | 21:10 |
| TimeVirus | USB is looked at first in BIOS at all times | 21:10 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: Yes... :) | 21:10 |
| kate_r | is it possible to route traffic from a certain app to VPN whilst everything else remains normal? | 21:10 |
| UncleJoe | If you're going to break something, do it right. | 21:10 |
| TimeVirus | now sometimes after having repaired grub it still fails to boot from the external | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | UncleJoe: I would recommend re-installing, though I'm very curious how you got into this state. | 21:10 |
| TimeVirus | at that time I remove internal and the external will boot | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: When you say "fais to boot from the external", what does happen? | 21:11 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: The only thing I can think of it the liveusb and my attempt to reinstall grub2. | 21:11 |
| UncleJoe | http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd | 21:11 |
| TimeVirus | I'll boot from the internal unless I've removed it from boot options in BIOS | 21:11 |
| UncleJoe | Jordan_U: Bashing-om: My original attempt - probably borked something with the x64, I think | 21:12 |
| TimeVirus | and if that fails then It tells me no boot media found | 21:12 |

| TimeVirus | so | 21:15 |
| HelenaKitty | hi | 21:15 |
| TimeVirus | I removed it from boot options in bios | 21:15 |
| HelenaKitty | Another question... how to I make Empathy automatically available when I log into the system? | 21:15 |
| TimeVirus | and now I'm running from the external | 21:15 |
| HelenaKitty | I currently have my system doing automatic backups per night. It backs up the entire home dir. I wanted to know that when Unity 8 comes out will the backups break the system or will the configuration files within the backups for Unity 7 be compatible with Unity 8? | 21:15 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: Please run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical grub-pc". | 21:16 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 21:16 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: should be fine | 21:16 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: (And pastebin the output). | 21:16 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 21:16 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: and the unity won't be replaced in the same version | 21:16 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: it should only upgrade on the next ubuntu release. | 21:16 |
| HelenaKitty | ikonia, Oh okies <3 | 21:17 |
| HelenaKitty | ikonia, It's just Unity 8 is gonna be shipped with Ubuntu 16 | 21:17 |
| HelenaKitty | We're already on Ubuntu 14 | 21:17 |
| m0h4wk | How many processes should I have running as Ubuntu starts? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: you're not using 16 | 21:17 |
| m0h4wk | I have 260-something running right now | 21:17 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: ubuntu 16 is 2 years away | 21:17 |
| HelenaKitty | I never said I was using 16 now, did I? | 21:17 |
| HelenaKitty | I said it is gonna be shipped with Ubuntu 16. I never said anything about using Ubuntu 16! | 21:18 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: To state the obvious, more time and effort to burn a 32 bit .iso of 12.04 and run 'boot-repair' once more ?? Or quicker just to (RE-)install the server ? | 21:18 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: then apply some logic, you wouldn't be using a backup that is 2 years old | 21:18 |
| UncleJoe | Bashing-om: Downloading 32bit live now | 21:18 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: that depends on the needs. if i say now: 300 is ok. you are not satisfied | 21:18 |
| UncleJoe | Shoudl I go minimal again, or full? | 21:18 |
| HelenaKitty | ikonia, Nope but my system is forever backing up | 21:18 |
| HelenaKitty | So the latest backup will still have a configuration file from Unity 7 | 21:18 |
| HelenaKitty | It would be nice if it can be applied to Unity 8 | 21:19 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: right, and you wouldn't be using them on a system 2 years in the future | 21:19 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Well it's just idling with 260 processes. Should I be worried? | 21:19 |
| TimeVirus | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/9061212/ | 21:19 |
| HelenaKitty | ikonia, Yes I would | 21:19 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: no you wouldn't | 21:19 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Only using roughly 14% of my 8gb memory | 21:19 |
| HelenaKitty | You need to stop making assumptions | 21:19 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Always a good idea to have the full desktop on-hand for trouble shooting purposes. | 21:19 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: as you would upgrade, get new files/upgraded files and they would backup | 21:19 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: if there is no issue dont try to make it an issue :) | 21:19 |
| HelenaKitty | Nope wrong | 21:19 |
| HelenaKitty | The system would be restored from backup after upgrade | 21:19 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: no it wouldn't | 21:20 |
| HelenaKitty | YEs it would | 21:20 |
| HelenaKitty | Why are we having this argument? | 21:20 |
| TimeVirus | did you get that Jordan? | 21:20 |
| HelenaKitty | I came for support, not an argument! | 21:20 |
| ikonia | your right, lets not | 21:20 |
| HelenaKitty | Good, glad we come to an agreement! :) | 21:20 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: my support advice is then don't try to use 2 year old backups | 21:20 |
| ikonia | that is an unwise approach | 21:20 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: my top tells me its 283 jobs right now. | 21:20 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: and that's not too rough on the system? Sweet. | 21:21 |
| zykotick9 | HelenaKitty: fyi, you shouldn't assume config files are going to be backwards compatible (they can lead to strange issues). good luck. | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: Interesting. Everything looks fine. If the drive fails to boot again, please come here or to #grub before running boot-repair again so that we can find out what's going wrong and hopefully come up with a permanent solution. | 21:21 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Is rainmeter worth installing on Ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| HelenaKitty | zykotick9, I never assumed | 21:21 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: again: where is the issue? :) | 21:21 |
| HelenaKitty | I ask if they WOULD be backward compatible | 21:21 |
| HelenaKitty | Another person who hasn't read my question properly today. | 21:21 |
| TimeVirus | lol will do and thanks Jordan! I've been baffled by this for weeks | 21:21 |
| zykotick9 | HelenaKitty: the answer is NO then. config files get updated... | 21:22 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: if you want a most minimal system install the minimal install and then only install services you really need. but that is really some work | 21:22 |
| Jordan_U | TimeVirus: You're welcome. | 21:22 |
| ikonia | HelenaKitty: no-one knows what will be in ubuntu 16, so I suggest you wait until closer the time | 21:22 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Believe it or not that's actually what I did XD | 21:22 |
| m0h4wk | k1l: Now I've been uninstalling services that I now realize I don't need. | 21:22 |
| HelenaKitty | zykotick9, You're generalising | 21:22 |
| HelenaKitty | I asked that question about UNITY | 21:22 |
| HelenaKitty | which Canonical are the developers of | 21:22 |
| HelenaKitty | So you guys should know the answer or atleast have an idea! | 21:23 |
| k1l | m0h4wk: you said you installed the kubuntu iso. that is not the minimal install at all then | 21:24 |

| ansivirus | Jordan_U, guess I should have specified this is a remote server | 21:34 |
| ChogyDan | is there a legit way to restart do-release-upgrade? | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | ansivirus: Sort of, you can echo commands to /proc/sysrq-trigger , but you have to be a little more careful that you don't lose your ssh connection before sending 'b' (for reboot). | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | ChogyDan: What is your actual situation? | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | ansivirus: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | ansivirus: Note that you need to write to /proc/sysrq-trigger and /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq as root. To do so you would use something like "echo b | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger". Note however, if you run that last command it will reboot immediately with no syncing or unmounting of any filesystems, even local ones. | 21:38 |
| ansivirus | thank you Jordan_U | 21:38 |
| ansivirus | working | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | ansivirus: You're welcome. By "working" do you mean that your machine is rebooting? | 21:39 |
| ansivirus | Jordan_U, yes it is | 21:40 |
| ChogyDan | Jordan_U: it errored out. I think it complained that /var/lib/dpkg/status was corrupted. After exiting the "screen" screen (I don't know how to use screen fwiw), I ran dpkg --configure -a, and it certainly complained about .../status. I replaced with a backup per some googling, but now it seems like most of the upgrade didn't take | 21:40 |

| ChogyDan | k1l: well, the release says utopic, the kernel is the one I was running (I haven't reboot yet), and the sources file is a generic utopic sources file. I think all that is pretty standard for a crashed upgraded. I can pastebin if you really think I should, but it's a bit of a pain since this is a non-gui install | 21:47 |
| k1l | ChogyDan: ok. run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 21:47 |

| Bashing-om | Neozonz|Disc: Have you rebooted since the kernel upgrade. | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | Neozonz|Disc: "linux-headers-*" doesn't inlcude a kernel, just the kernel headers. Also, you need to reboot after installing a new kernel before you will be running it (and uname -r shows what's running). | 22:18 |
| Neozonz|Disc | Jordan_U, how can I go about installing the kernel as well | 22:20 |
| Bashing-om | UncleJoe: Well, You are the man, your system and time and effort. But robbing swap (sda1) does not seem like a good thing to do ( have to redo /etc/fstab ! , if we go messing with partitions ) . // Are you sure you are presently in a FULL CHange Root environment ? | 22:22 |

| ZeroDivided | gotcha | 23:57 |
| k1l_ | ZeroDivided: so you need to look out for kernel updates and then prepare a driver reinstall. | 23:57 |
