[00:00] when I try to install xenserver on ubuntu 12.04 version. I got PXE-E53 No Boot Filename Received [00:00] through vmplayer [00:01] yes, I've pinned it, package manager complains about 17 packages, not all of them are "xorg" === jason_kr_ is now known as jason_kr [00:03] zerothis: pastebin? [00:05] ChogyDan:pastebin.org/LThNpLJX [00:07] zerothis: I don't know why, but it's not working for me [00:08] ChogyDan: http://www.pastebin.org/LThNpLJX [00:09] hey any here with any knowledge of .sh files? [00:10] zerothis: it's the same link. It just goes straight to pastebin.com for me :( [00:10] jeff__: a sh file is a shell script. A set of command-line commands that run with the sh is run [00:11] http://www.pastebin.com/LThNpLJX [00:12] that worked :), silly me [00:12] sorry, my bad [00:12] http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/11-benefits-of-green-tea-that-you-didnt-know-about.html [00:13] HappyNewYear13: no need for that in here [00:13] zerothis: you can apt-get upgrade the individual packages, to see why they are being held back, so, sudo apt-get upgrade apparmor [00:13] is Jordan_U here? I cant see the list :-| [00:15] TimeVIrus: if you have an actual support question or something you need help with related to Ubuntu, it's probably better to address the entire channel rather than one user [00:15] ChogyDan: did that, they all complain about "xserver-xorg-video-trident" a few also complain about "xorg-video-abi-11" and some about "lightdm" [00:15] why doesn't lightdm want to upgrade? [00:16] I did ask the entire channel my problem got not answer and he (Jordan) was on top of it a couple hours ago - just thought that if hes still here he'd be my best chance at a solution to said problem [00:16] teward [00:16] ^ [00:17] the only way is up! [00:17] unless youre going to crash and burn up is it [00:17] ChogyDan: lightdm complains about trident and abi [00:18] zerothis: you might be as good as you can get, fwiw. most of the packages are related to xorg. apparmor wants a certain version of lightdm, and maybe xorg wants a conflicting version as well. So, you might be as good as you can get [00:18] why no HexChat in Kali PM? [00:18] bah [00:19] zerothis: and you should probably file a bug report with ubuntu-bug if you haven't done that [00:20] the helpers were more abundant a couple hours ago :( [00:21] ChogyDan: i'm off to ubuntu-bug. thank you. [00:21] STRIKE while the iron is hot I always say - and now its going to be months before it heats up again I spose [00:21] lol [00:21] TimeVIrus: i didnt see you asking a question last time, just chatter. no wonder no one can help you even he he knew the solution [00:23] vampires go to ignore === rigor789 is now known as rigor789|away [00:30] As an AMD GPU user, what drivers should I be using? [00:30] how can I mouse click in another workspace? [00:31] I see a few options in the proprietary drivers section [00:31] from the terminal [00:32] teaearlgraycold: fglrx from the ubuntu repo [00:32] k1l_, I see fglrx and fglrk-updates [00:33] Is that like a beta channel? [00:33] teaearlgraycold: X2 athlon, ATI graphics card; open source graphics driver works well for me . [00:34] Bashing-om, yeah they're working fine for me, not sure if I'll get better performance with fglrx [00:39] Goodevening all :) [00:45] I'm getting an error that I don't know how to address. It is tied to a repository needed to download modules for xiphos, which I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04. The error is: "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found" Can anyone offer suggestions? [00:45] had same issue yesterday [00:45] ramborocks: you talkin to me? [00:45] or someone else? [00:45] yeah i not sure how we worked it out [00:46] imastupidguest: that PPA is not for trusty [00:46] last update seems like 2011? [00:47] 2012, latest for precise [00:47] no, last update 04.2012 [00:47] im trying to get permissions for plex to run on my ubuntu machine [00:47] ramborocks: is this the plex media player? [00:48] it isnt getting permissions and im not exactly sure how to use chmod command to give my /media to work [00:48] anyone got tips [00:48] k1l_: Any idea how to make things work? I tried to fire up xiphos for first time last night; and, on it's first run, it tells me I have to install at least one module (of course). Well I can't install anything in xiphos for some reason and I thinks this has something to do with it. [00:48] dunno what to do or who to contact about it [00:49] ramborocks: check your fstab [00:49] imastupidguest: i dont know xiphos and that software seems quite unmaintained. at least for crosswire. [00:49] well. xiphos is not unmaintained. [00:50] does anyone know the difference between /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg and /var/lib/apt-keryings/ubuntu-archvie-keyring.gpg? [00:50] googling around I find references to both [00:50] k1l_: I'll look for a way to get ahold of someone through esword or something along those lines. Thanks [00:52] imastupidguest: you need to load the modules form here: http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ and put the stuff to /usr/share/sword/ [00:52] http://www.ebay.com/itm/181586874797?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase === matrix is now known as Guest25298 [01:01] So I just switched to fglrx and now Xubuntu won't get past the splash screen [01:01] Should I switch back? How do I do that? [01:01] Ctrl+Alt+F2 won't bring me to the tty [01:01] I suppose it's frozen [01:03] teaearlgraycold: From grub boot menu -> recovery mode -> root -> resume normal boot. Once to the desk top in Additional Drivers utility, choose an alternate driver. [01:03] k [01:03] Bashing-om, I'm at the root prompt, how do I resume the normal boot? [01:04] Should I startx [01:05] dont startx [01:05] restart the lightdm [01:05] How do I do that? [01:06] sudo lightdm restart [01:07] "Failed to open log file /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log: Read-only file system" [01:08] Now I'm told "Could not create lock file in /tmp/.tX0-lock" [01:08] I'm going to ^C [01:08] is this recovery? [01:08] Yes [01:08] .....

[01:09] After I switched to fglrx I get stuck at the splash screen [01:10] teaearlgraycold: Sorry, at that root prompt -> mount -o remount rw / <- to enable write to the file system. then 'exit' -> click next on " resume normal boot " . [01:10] Can't ^Alt+F2 [01:10] did you try nomodeset already as a grub parameter? [01:10] No [01:10] Bashing-om, that worked, thanks [01:10] Back to the free drivers! [01:11] Gotta protect those freedoms [01:12] K, it boots without issue now [01:12] teaearlgraycold: Great. What card are you running ? as the HD 2X/3X/4X cards are legacy and AMD no longer supports them . [01:12] Bashing-om, Radeon HD 7970 [01:12] GHz [01:13] !nomodeset | i bet its just this [01:13] i bet its just this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:13] teaearlgraycold: FGLRX should work ?? [01:13] It doesn't ?? [01:14] Also if I want certain partitions to mount when I log in should I just put a mount command in the startup section of the settings? [01:14] or use fstab?

[01:23] No problem [01:24] greetings, I am installing a package from source and am wondering what an appropriate destination for the program is?

[01:31] storrgie: no, since some time you dont get any updates nor security patches. you need to upgrade to 13.10 and then 14.04 asap. [01:31] !eolupgrades | storrgie [01:31] storrgie: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:32] oof, didnt realize it went EoL so soon [01:32] if yu dont want to upgrade all 6 months stay on LTS, which is 12.04 or 14.04 (and 16.04) [01:32] yeah I have some LTS boxes too [01:32] bummer [01:33] storrgie: if you don't want to always be upgrading, you should stick to the LTSes almost religiously, like k1l_ said. Also, you can refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for a list of current releases and their approximate EOL times [01:34] I get it, I have LTS boxes, I've never let a non LTS box stick around this long. first time EoL as bitten me [01:34] when I try to install xenserver on ubuntu 12.04 version.

Anybody know why it is doing this ? [01:43] and i dont have access to BIOS, first boot device is HDD [01:43] Guest99359: have you set up a virtual host or are you using the default conf? [01:43] the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.com.conf points to /srv/www/mydomain.com/public_html [01:43] Joe_knock: You using sudo in front [01:43] virtual host [01:43] Guest99359: and it's enabled? [01:43] i a2dissite the default [01:44] enabled my conf [01:44] yep mrcoolset . I used sudo [01:44] Guest99359: try a2ensite then [01:44] Guest99359: ok - gotcha [01:44] it says allready enabled [01:44] Guest99359: paste the conf to ubuntu.paste.com [01:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9064025/ [01:48] can aonyone tell me whats wrong here: [01:48] sudo apt-get --simulate dist-update [01:48] E: Command line option --simulate is not understood [01:48] Guest99359: you sure you dissite on default and not default-ssl as this conf looks like you copied it from default-ssl [01:48] it should be noted that i am using the ip address to access the server and not the actual domain [01:48] azizLIGHT: dist-upgrade [01:48] oh [01:48] sure. i also looked in sites-enabled and see only my domain [01:49] k1l_: that error message is misleading then [01:49] Guest99359: and you have an entry for domain.com in your /etc/hosts? [01:50] my.ip.address domain.com domain [01:51] right under "127.0.0.1 localhost" [01:51] j qt [01:52] Guest99359: and what does the access log tell you? [01:53] Guest99359: you might need to look at the default access log in /var/log/apache2/access.log if it's redirecting to that somehow [01:54] that is where i am looking, seems fine [01:54] i cant get plexto work because of permissions [01:54] Guest99359: what does 'fine' look like? Is it accessing the domain.com webroot? [01:54] is anyone able to walk me through it.. i feel like im just missing one touch [01:54] no errors, only webkit mozilla and chrome and ip addresses === chad is now known as ramborocks [01:56] i am not sure how to check that. it does not say where it is accessing, only ip addresses that make the requests. [01:56] that and the fact that it is accessing index.html file [01:57] Guest99359: where is the log that your looking at - which directory? [01:58] the one you recommended /var/log/apache2/access.log [01:59] and it is updating every time i make a new request from my browser [01:59] Guest99359: so the default conf is still being used. Your domain.conf should be creating log files in /srv/www/mydomain.com [01:59] i know, it is weird [01:59] what could be causing it? [02:00] Guest99359: I know what you've said, but it looks like you've not enabled the sites correctly [02:00] could it be the fact that i am using the ip address and not the FQDN as the url? [02:00] Guest99359: you are putting an IP as the URL in the browser bar? [02:01] yes [02:01] sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf ------------------ Site 000-default already disabled [02:01] Guest99359: it doesn't reverse lookup from the /etc/hosts file so use domain.com so the virtual host matches the ServerName in the conf [02:01] any help for plex [02:02] sudo a2ensite mydomain.com.conf Site mydomain.com already enabled [02:02] plex isnt getting permissions [02:02] Guest99359: did you restart apache2 after enabling/disabling? [02:02] yes [02:02] gonna try again [02:02] same [02:03] Guest99359: what URL now? [02:03] still the same url - my ip address [02:03] Guest99359: use domain.com [02:04] i should redirect the domain from namecheap and then try again [02:04] thank you for your help somsip [02:04] Guest99359: if you have an entry in /etc/hosts you can use the fqdn. If you want this as the default site, don't use a ServerName so it picks up all incoming requests so you can use the IP [02:05] Guest99359 does this help? http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32163/move-var-www-to-srv-www-on-fedora-16 [02:13] [ 0.219454] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC failed (AE_ERROR); disabling ASPM -- is this an issue?

[02:55] external [02:55] right now I'm running TahrPup from flash [02:55] RAM actually [02:56] that boots from flash no problem and actually any flash boots without issue [02:56] any linux that is [02:58] TimeVirus: get your bios sorted to boot from that disk [02:58] had to boot into puppy tahr to get here and be ready for any suggested commands to investigate whats going on with boot ext hdd [02:58] Maybe I should clarify my question. What should my next step be after receiving the BUG: Soft lockup CPU#x for xx s issue when I try to either a live-cd session or an install? It happens right after I choose an option from the CD boot menu. I have not been able to find anything that applies to my situation in the forums. In those instances every seems to be able to at least get the OS installed. Should I try a different distro, [02:58] omg sudo restart PythonServer works to restart it =D [02:58] so easy [02:58] Kil how can it be a BIOS issue if flash has no issues? [02:59] never has had [02:59] even [02:59] did it run before? what did you do? what changed? [03:00] where in ubuntu 14.04 should wpa-conf be specified for a wireless connection (i.e. wlan0) such that it starts automatically? in 12.04, in /etc/network/interfaces I could just add wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to the wlan0 config [03:00] it does run MOST of the time if I do a boot repair disk on it after every time I shut it down [03:00] usb-pendrives and usb-hdds have different hardware modes. [03:00] and especially if I take out the option to boot from internal [03:00] But that isn't working, wpa_supplicant is never called, and I can't find anything saying where it *should* go now [03:01] TimeVirus: so is the external hdd spin up and ready? that is a very common issue. [03:01] TimeVirus: make it first in boot order.

[03:21] lol [03:21] k [03:22] i told you to get your bios and hardware sorted so its not only the dumbest issue, that the usb-drive is just not spinned up [03:22] right [03:23] how to 'sort' what hardware/ [03:23] ? [03:23] its a damn est hdd [03:23] lol [03:23] and sort the BIOS? [03:23] *sigh* [03:23] reflash it? [03:24] TimeVIrus: so please pop up the manual booting menue and wait some time to let the disk get spinned up. [03:24] ,,, [03:24] been there [03:24] done tha [03:24] t [03:24] if the harddrive does not appear there at all it cant be an ubuntu issue since that is all hardware level where ubuntu doesnt affect anything. [03:25] ... [03:25] :P [03:29] TimeVirus> it does run MOST of the time if I do a boot repair disk on it after every time I shut it down [03:29] TimeVirus> and especially if I take out the option to boot from internal [03:29] TimeVirus> I can make it the OLNY option to boot from [03:29] TimeVIrus> and when that fails BIOS tells me it found no bootable media - There is no option to boot external hdd only USB as to where it should look [03:30] that's the most inconsistent problem ive ever seen [03:31] i think its bios cant boot usb-hdds at all. so he does need to install a grub setup on some usb or intern hdd that launches the lubuntu on the external hdd. [03:31] but he doesnt want to tell whats on the other hdds at all. [03:43] Hey, can anyone help me with net crap? My internet is so fucking terrible on Ubuntu now it's driving me insane. === MindSpark_ is now known as MindSpark [03:45] It's excellent on Windows, but on Ubuntu I have to take my dongle out and put it back in every 30 seconds since the net is only good for 40 seconds before it steeps off into 0 kb/s land. [03:45] 30, 40, whatever. [03:45] !language | tsunamical [03:45] tsunamical: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [03:46] I'm on 14.10 with kernel 3.18 RC4 if it matters. [03:46] Sorry. [03:46] gha, I can't get Google hangouts working on Chrome [03:46] Alright, then someone please help me with this cursed issue. [03:47] please, anyone, i'm at my wits end. I cannot get postfix to send mail using TLS. It just won't do it. I've tried everything. Can anyone help me? [03:47] How do I reset net settings? [03:48] !wireless [03:48] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:50] Dear god I can't even load the pages [03:51] tsunamical: how are you talking to us now then? [03:52] I'm still taking the dongle in and out [03:53] It's been getting pregressively worse and worse. [03:53] With repo [03:53] Before I was able to download ~30 GB of Android stuff. [03:53] tsunamical: if you type sudo service network-manager restart [03:53] what happens? [03:53] But now it stalls out in the first couple seconds [03:54] I'll give it a shot [03:54] Hi, I need to backup an old Windows NTFS hard drive to an external USB HDD. Is it safe to do this with the dd facility? If so, is it safe to use the media devices in ubuntu (/media/username/8271028369274828273) to do this? [03:55] It works, naturally, but it pretty much does exactly what taking it in and out does. I can only assume within the next minute it's going to drop again [03:55] jamesbdev: I would think you would want to do it either by the entire disk /dev/sdx x=pick the right one, please. or /dev/sdx1 to specify the partition. [03:55] jamesbdev: with the drive unmounted, dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/sdy conv=sync,notrunc,noerrors [03:56] sorry, thats noerror not noerrors [03:58] Okay, I'm way too worn out to deal with it right now. Thanks anyway, I'll eventually be back. There's no official drivers for a TP-LINK WN725N (Hardware revision 2). [03:58] jamesbdev: if you only need a copy of the files, something like rsync, etc. can work just fine. [03:58] SchrodingersScat, EriC^^: Thanks both. I just discovered it's actually a partition. Will there be any issues with selecting the input file as /dev/sdxx (selecting a partion) and the output file being just a device (/dev/sdX)? [03:58] jamesbdev: make sure you get the if= and of= correct , "if" is the drive you are cloning, of is the output [03:58] SchrodingersScat: Actually rsync might work better for my purposes [03:58] I only need the files saved [03:59] tsunamical, http://brilliantlyeasy.com/ubuntu-linux-tl-wn725n-tp-link-version-2-wifi-driver-install/ [03:59] Well I'll be darned. Thanks. [04:01] if that doesn't work you can do an ugly hack until you sort it out correctly ( run a loop that restarts the network every 30secs or so ) [04:02] The dongle's a piece of crap anyway. Might as well just get a PCIe card eventually. [04:09] yes [04:09] how do i change a directory from drwxrwsr-x to drwxrwxr-x [04:09] chmod -G +x ? [04:12] woot [04:12] >_> [04:14] Evenin' folks [04:15] howdy [04:15] is that a yes? [04:15] how do i change a directory from drwxrwsr-x to drwxrwxr-x [04:15] SchrodingersScat: you might wanna change that nic [04:15] Hello, I'm trying to make a bridged device in Ubuntu 14.04.1 in KVM to no avail. [04:15] Does anyone else get gaps between terminal and other windows when using Compiz Grid in ubuntu 14.04? [04:16] junkanoo: i'm not familiar with see "s" in the list - so i checked "man chmod" and i find "set user or group ID on execution (s)" i still have NO idea what that is... good luck. [04:16] jamesbdev: chmod g-s [04:16] junkanoo: chmod 775 looks like what you want... [04:16] junkanoo: chmod g-s [04:17] learn permissions by the #'s [04:17] somsip, that looks right thx [04:17] g-s is bs [04:17] 755 644 <- these matter [04:17] awktion, the numbers don't change the s [04:17] having trouble getting GOogle hangout's video chat working on Chromium. NOt sure why. [04:17] junkanoo: perhaps not [04:17] awktion, :) [04:17] (actually they can) [04:19] hey guys i'm getting an error "env: -u no such file or directory" when trying to run sudo -u [username] is there something i'm missing? [04:19] toothe: have you tried google-chrome? [04:19] can I install Xenserver on Ubuntu 12.04 whick is virtualized on parallels? [04:19] After following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge -- if up br0 doesn't work (doesn't seem to detect device) [04:19] ChogyDan: Is that not the same thing? [04:20] junkanoo: http://linuxg.net/how-to-set-the-setuid-and-setgid-bit-for-files-in-linux-and-unix/ [04:20] \learn [04:20] be amazed [04:20] read [04:20] apologize to room for spreading bad knowledge [04:20] whoa, i thought they were the same thing!!! [04:20] okay, I"m using GOogle Chrome, not Chromium. [04:20] toothe: chromium is the open source version, google-chrome is the closed source build put out by google, and supported by google [04:20] yes, I"m using Googlechrome, I got it off their website. [04:21] tbh, I"m fine with either-or. but, I'd like to get my web camera working with google hangouts. [04:21] toothe: have you checked it within google settings? I only know about getting at it through gmail [04:22] which particular set of settings? [04:22] toothe: Did you allow chrome to use your webcam? In the URL bar on the far right a video camera icon appears when the browser requests it. [04:22] hm...lets suppose I didn'...how do I reallow it? [04:22] I might have quickly pressed no when I first used it - honestly not sure. [04:23] toothe: Should just be able to click the icon and reselect it.. best do by example, http://meet.jit.si try it out, you'll see the icon on the far right of the URL bar [04:24] for the record, I f'ing love this system.!!!!! [04:25] (BTW http://meet.jit.si is a great alternative to Google hangouts, it's open source, fully encrypted) [04:26] it's also anonymous which is nice. [04:26] I see nothing that says I fi want to autothorize anything... [04:26] toothe: On the URL bar, is there a video camera on the left of the star (bookmark) icon when you're at http://meet.jit.si ? [04:27] yes... [04:27] toothe: Click that [04:28] there it goes [04:28] you probably saw me for a few seconds, i assume? [04:28] Google hangouts should have a similar thing, you need to allow each individual website access to it. =) [04:28] No, when you visit http://meet.jit.si it makes a random room. I wasn't in your room, if you want someone else to join you give them your URL. You can lock the room first with a password. [04:29] admiralakber: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/ neat, you weren't kidding [04:30] I need help when I run sudo with any flag e.g. -u , -v it returns and error env: no such file [04:30] why use chromium over chrome or vice versa/ diffrence? [04:32] Hi Everyone. I'm new to Ubuntu and was hoping to be able to run it from a USB Flash drive and move it between both home and work computers [04:32] Google Chrome is Chromium after Google has done their dirty work on... Google Chrome has that Chromium doesn't: automatic updating (pointless in Linux thanks to package managers), "anonymous reporting" on by default, Latest Adobe Flash Player, + anything else Google did (we can't see the code) [04:32] j4rh3rD: Try this http://serverfault.com/questions/510888/sudo-u-fails-with-env-u-no-such-file-or-directory http://askubuntu.com/questions/183093/sudo-arguments-not-working [04:32] Can someone fix this .conkyrc file for me, I've been messing with it all day, it keeps either vanishing or causing problems with Unity, ubuntu 14.04.1LTS [04:32] Does anyone have any suggestions? [04:32] thanks somsip will do [04:33] Michelle_1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:33] Michelle_1: I think there is a website as well called pendrivelinux [04:33] Thank you somsip [04:33] how would I make sure my x org starts with -bs option? is it launched from lightdm? [04:34] ChogyDan, isn't that to create a bootable flash drive? [04:34] thanks somsip that worked :) [04:34] Michelle_1: that's what you asked for, no? [04:34] here is a link to the .conkyrc file http://sprunge.us/GSBK [04:35] where to change default screen resolution for new users? [04:36] ChogyDan, I was able to create a bootable drive using the startup disk creator [04:36] l0rdn1x: what doesn't work? Have you run parts of this separately to see where it fails? [04:36] I was looking for some "best practices" [04:37] Once I do the first boot up, should I make a partition for my Home folders? [04:37] Michelle_1: the startup disk creator is for creating an install medium. pendrive, and what somesip linked are for persistent installations on the usb itself [04:38] ChogyDan: great information. I didn't know there was a difference [04:38] somsip, yeah I've been messing with it all day, when I set it to own_window_type desktop it works for a second then goes away, when i do it as own_window_type normal it stays but causes problems with unity's menu === sins-_x is now known as sins- [04:41] how would I make sure my x org starts with -bs option? i've read in some forum posts that doing this helped fix screen tearing in video playback for xbmc so I want to set it. [04:41] ubuntuaddicted: Not sure about the -bs option, but I might be able to help with screen tearing... What video card do you have, and what driver are you using? [04:42] ChogyDan: is there a way to use the "toram" function to speed things up a bit? [04:42] Hi, could someone please let me know if Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 is stable enough for use on my work desktop? It would be safer to use Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 4 but I think plasma 5 is pretty :) [04:42] Michelle_1: Mounting partitions with tmpfs is probably better: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tmpfs [04:43] what exactly is plasma vs KDE? [04:43] how do we know what is stable enough for someone else? [04:43] ianorlin: Deep [04:43] ianorlin: true, I was just wondering for example, if it crashes often? Or is buggy as all hell? etc [04:44] admiralakber, GTX 760 nvidia 346.16 [04:44] * ianorlin doesn't use plasma5 or plasma 4 personally but I don't know how to answer that question for someone else [04:44] admiralakber, i have a dual monitor setup though. [04:44] admiralakber: I saw that you could load Ubuntu into ram, but I read that you lose the last state when doing so [04:45] admiralakber: Using Xinerama? Can you force enable vsync in nvidia-settings ? [04:45] ianorlin: what desktop environment do you use? I'm sick of the bugs i've experiend with unity [04:45] Michelle_1: That is correct, almost by definition of RAM. [04:45] lxde [04:46] admiralakber, not using xinerama according to sudo nvidia-xconfig that was created. it's value is 0 [04:46] jamesbdev: Thought of trying a lightweight tiling window manager? [04:46] somsip, I think i fixed it by setting it own_window_type panel [04:46] admiralakber: I have, and back in the day I used to run arch linux with i3. But I just found that I was fighting it more than I should have to - and at work I don't really have time to, for example, play around with config files [04:47] ubuntuaddicted: try run "sudo nvidia-settings" it'll bring up a GUI to configure your video card. You need to enable wait for vertical refresh, or VSYNC. [04:47] jamesbdev: True, how about MATE? [04:47] admiralakber, this isn't my first rodeo, i've already tried that. [04:48] ubuntuaddicted: And it still tears? Is hardware acceleration on in XMBC? [04:48] admiralakber, it still tears watching this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xkNy9gfKOg and in games [04:48] ubuntuaddicted: Also, IIRC Xinerama either breaks or fixes vsync in dual screen. [04:49] admiralakber: Yes, but using the persistent partition and home folders to keep from losing everything [04:49] has anyone used zram before? How exactly does it get enabled? [04:49] admiralakber, if i set powermizer to prefer max performance it solves all my problems however I don't want to run my card full throttle all the time. it's not good for heat/life of the card. not to mention the electricity draw increase [04:49] admiralakber: it doesn't seem to be that different than unity (at least from what I can see on https://ubuntu-mate.org/)? [04:49] sudo apt-get install zram [04:49] !info zram [04:49] Package zram does not exist in utopic [04:49] admiralakber, i'm not using Xinerama [04:49] mmm :/ [04:50] !info zram-config [04:50] zram-config (source: zram-config): Upstart job to enable zram support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.2 (utopic), package size 3 kB, installed size 36 kB [04:50] admiralakber, this is what xorg.conf has for that Option "Xinerama" "0" [04:50] jamesbdev: It should be significantly different from unity. [04:51] ubuntuaddicted: Then, I would try set it to 1. It shouldn't break your dual screen setup but you might need to reconfigure bars. [04:51] admiralakber: Could I ask you, if you were to choose from a non-unity variant of ubuntu, what would you choose (and why)? At this time I'm considering Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu-Mate [04:52] jamesbdev, sudo apt-get install kde lxde xfce4 logout/choose alternate DE/login test and decide for yourself [04:53] cfhowlett: That's definately an idea considering I will be removing my current install soon in the future! [04:53] jamesbdev: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server, then I'd install i3. I actually use Arch + i3 on all my PC's. I found the defaults perfect for me, I haven't touched the config file for over a year. [04:54] fwiw, the zram enabled after a reboot. I don't know how it configures itself, but it seems to be plug-and-play [04:54] I approve of cfhowlett's solution. [04:54] admiralakber, i don't really follow your thinking here, everything i've read in the nvidia driver documentation doesn't even have that option anymore. if it's going to be set it's actually nvidiaXineramaInfo and that info is here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/346.16/README/xconfigoptions.html [04:57] ubuntuaddicted: Sorry, you're right. My Nvidia knowledge is old. So you're using TwinView then? === kyle is now known as Guest3790 [04:57] admiralakber: One more question (you seem quite knowledgeable about ubuntu!) - if I choose an LTS version, am I able to upgrade select packages to their latest releases? What is the equivalent to debian "testing" (is it just ubuntu 14.04?) [04:58] Can someone tell me if this is true? http://tny.cz/9c8cedc0 [04:58] admiralakber, i don't actually know to be honest. nvidia-xconfig just sets it up by itself. i don't have a twinview option set. we're sort of getting off topic. i'm only asking how to start X server with the -bs option. if you can't help with that than thanks anyway for trying. [04:59] oraclePRISM, look on the oracle site for details. [04:59] jamesbdev: The only way you could update to the latest would be using 'backports' or a ppa. Otherwise you're stuck with the packages in the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS repo. I'm not sure what Debian release it's equivalent too. [05:00] ubuntuaddicted: Okay, well - one last thing if you want to try this fix: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia#Vertical_sync_using_TwinView [05:00] i think IF ubuntu provides virtualbox, it should compile itself without the orcale ip connections [05:00] admiralakber: thanks for your advice. if Im just undecided on the desktop environment, would i be best to just install standard ubuntu and then install my select DE on top of that [05:00] any obvious things i shud do for a wakeup froms suspend to work correctly on a dell xps 13? i'm on ubuntu 14.10... I've already disabled intel smart connect in the bios [05:00] admiralakber, yeap, i've already done all those. :) [05:00] jamesbdev: That's the best part about GNU/Linux. =) [05:01] oraclePRISM: I would be a bit skeptical. Sometimes programs make connections just for networking reasons, like resolving dns servers and what not. It can be complicated to sort out. I know chrome makes dozens of such sketchy connections, but they are intended to run various services [05:01] !ot | oraclePRISM, this is support channel. ask in ##linux or off-topic [05:01] oraclePRISM, this is support channel. ask in ##linux or off-topic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

The LTS versions are current for 4 years, whereas the in between versions are only current for 6 months so if you don't want to be upgrading every 6 months I would suggest 14.04, try the 32 bit desktop edition. If that doesn't work to your satisfaction, then try lubuntu 14.04 32 bit desktop, or xub [05:45] HerroWorlds: you have no GUI on your server? === james is now known as Guest97458 === Guest97458 is now known as J_Y [05:50] guys [05:53] lotuspsychje: Which version?

[06:06] is anyone willing to go down teh rabbit hole with me? [06:06] thanks! lotuspsychje [06:06] once in a while (especially when I load google chrome) [06:06] the screen on the latop will die completly [06:06] the caplock button still works [06:06] and the wireless light seems to show tx/rx [06:07] but i an't do anything since the screen is dead - so i am forced to reboot the machine [06:07] zhenccini: screen goes black?

[06:11] but never had an issue like that before [06:11] i think chrome seems to exacerbate it [06:11] but i think it's had the same issue without chrome [06:11] zhenccini: can you try chromium browser if you have same issue? [06:11] i use firefox and i need chrome for a specific chrome function [06:12] chromium would be of little use to me : [06:12] zhenccini: maybe start chrome from terminal to see errors or in --debug mode or safe-mode [06:12] would sharing the fail log after reboot help? [06:12] zhenccini: we need to findout what crashed at the chrome start [06:12] Hi I'm getting this error when I try to run civ 5 on steam http://pastebin.com/FPVwkBeV [06:12] anyone know what might be causing it? [06:13] its definitely not at the start of chrome if thats what you mean [06:13] it happens while using it / sitting in thebg [06:13] definitely feels like a graphic issue - maybe some kind of weird font incompatibility of something [06:13] zhenccini: thats weird issue indeed! [06:13] lotuspsychje: Conky loookkss really nice! [06:13] zhenccini: try to gather as much info as you can to findout errors [06:13] HerroWorlds: :p [06:14] looking at the report it says its a kerneloops [06:14] zhenccini: tail -f /var/log/dmesg and start chrome from terminal [06:14] zhenccini: can you paste that line?

[06:20] seems like everhting is working except the monitor when chrome starts to work "hard" [06:20] nothing just a hard black screen [06:20] :( [06:20] zhenccini_: sounds like grafix card gets a hard time [06:20] yep agreed [06:20] have you ever heard of anything like this? [06:21] zhenccini_: try the same hard work with chromium [06:21] zhenccini_: no never seen such issue.. [06:21] hmm interesting idea [06:21] ok [06:21] is there a way to see if there are better drivers for my vixeo card? [06:21] this is a completely vanilla install of ubuntu [06:21] zhenccini_: if you installed with internet/updates enabled, you have best driver [06:22] ok cool [06:22] and apt-get update would cover any thing old right? [06:22] zhenccini_: but check your /var/log/syslog also afterall.. [06:22] zhenccini_: and dmesg [06:22] elky: cool thanks, reposted in #python, im getting pretty close to just writing a new program to do it for me [06:23] cool what am i looking for?

[06:30] zhenccini_: bios flash update can do miracles sometimes [06:31] zhenccini_: 14.04 is stable, so investigate anything that could cause this error on your machine [06:31] got it ok - i'll keep trying [06:31] is there a biod update command from terminal [06:31] the only bios update seems to be available for win only mahcing [06:31] There is any way to personalize the Keybord under Lubuntu or ubuntu ? My keyboard is Spanish and i use to right in Portuguese, so i not able to put the ~ up on the A or the O !Some tip to help me ?

[06:33] lotuspsychje: bios update seems like its just for wifi update [06:33] zhenccini_: acpi, fan monitor, cpu health, grafix card settings [06:33] ok will do - thank for your help so far [06:33] you are awesome :D [06:33] np [06:33] really appreciate your patience with me :D [06:34] zhenccini_: best way would be sorting your logs, they might hold the key to your problem [06:34] There is some way to run a website that need Microsfot Silverlight to run under ubuntu or lubuntu ?

[09:40] Ok [09:40] agent_white network-manager I think [09:40] hellyeah: 14.10, 14.04 (LTS) and 12.04 (LTS) [09:41] i dont want ubuntu unity [09:41] can i exlclude ubuntu unity while installing [09:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo has some instructions but I got list in it [09:41] old fashion ubuntu is cool [09:41] White_Cat: Hrm. Well what is your use case? Why do you want to redirect port 80 traffic? [09:41] because it is the standard odoo port [09:42] I want users to simply type in the url without the port number [09:42] !flavors | hellyeah, install a different flavor [09:42] hellyeah, install a different flavor: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [09:42] hellyeah, after install, add your favorite DE [09:43] your typical user is clueless as to what a port is [09:43] i have ubuntu live on my usb is there a software i can upgrade the files on usb without downloading iso file? [09:44] i am in windows actually [09:44] port is strong wine ;p [09:44] hi, i have a good working ubuntu server 14.04 now i want to emigrate to a vsphere is it possible if yes what is the easy way to do it [09:44] wut [09:44] mdoge: still not working (=slow) [09:44] http://imgur.com/0Qvb9hX [09:45] White_Cat: So your webserver is listening on something else besides 80, and you want to redirect HTTP requests on port 80 to that other port? [09:45] bergelmir: im not sure, maybe your internet is just slow?! [09:47] mdoge: "curl -4" is fast so i don't think the internet connection is the problem [09:47] White_Cat: if you could have apache running on port 80 you can have an index.html file or other that will redirect to another port running some other app [09:47] bergelmir: 'nano /etc/resolv.conf' and replace the nameserver with 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' [09:48] agent_white precisely [09:48] sacarlson I dont want port number to show up on the url ideally [09:48] White_Cat: generally those settings are in your webserver config. Are you using nginx/apache? [09:48] mdoge: omg, this is fast [09:48] bergelmir: works now? [09:49] agent_white I am unsure what odoo uses [09:49] mdoge: yep [09:49] anyone good in jenkins? [09:49] I'd rather not mess with it [09:49] bergelmir: great [09:49] :) [09:49] the #jenkins room is dead [09:49] White_Cat: I'm not familiar with it. But that is what you need to configure. [09:49] :) [09:49] mdoge: so the pre-configured is slooowww [09:49] I would prefer all communication to port 80 be just forwarded [09:49] bergelmir: the resolv.conf configuration gets pushed by your router [09:49] the line I mentioned gets the job done [09:49] however it is overriten on each reboot [09:49] bergelmir: i usually override it with 8.8.8.8 (googles dns servers) [09:50] mdoge: its a server, not my laptop ;) [09:50] White_Cat: Did you save your iptables config after applying that? [09:50] White_Cat: apache also has invisible proxy that would not display the port [09:50] bergelmir: doesnt matter [09:50] agent_white well yes [09:50] and thats how it works [09:50] it still got an ip through dhcp [09:50] fmor a router [09:50] it however is overriten duruing reboot [09:50] White_Cat: It shouldn't reset the iptables rules on reboot though. [09:51] sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i venet0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8069 | sudo iptables-save [09:51] That's... odd. [09:51] White_Cat: Instead of rebooting, see what happens when you restart the iptables service... (see if those rules are still saved) [09:51] okay I can try that [09:53] White_Cat: I would look into using `sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/iptables.rules` [09:54] instead of `iptables-save` without the params [09:56] http://imgur.com/0Qvb9hX [09:56] anyone used a video editor on a 4gig , 2 core 2.6 ghz machine hosting the ubuntu virtual machiine ?

But I would suggest first just trying to restart the service. [10:42] agent_white I do not believe restarting the firewall makes a difference [10:42] White_Cat: Aye. Though I can _almost guarantee_ that if it works when you restart the service, it will on reboot. [10:42] White_Cat: Try it and see :) [10:42] it doesnt make a difference if I restart the firewall service [10:42] I already tried [10:42] And did it save your firewall rules? [10:43] normally restarting the firewall service should break the rules [10:43] it doesnt [10:44] White_Cat: You need to look into finding where ufw is reading your rules from.

[10:51] let me paste what I have [10:52] Personally, I would add a rule to each suspect file, and restart ufw to see which file it ends up reading.

Then at some point I started experiencing some kind of system crash whenever using one of the browsers - my screen would just go black, like it had lost signal. I would end up hard resetting the computer. [12:05] I then uninstalled both browsers and the problem went away ... until today (just now) ... when I visited the Chrome website in Firefox - BANG - black screen and hard reset needed ... [12:05] What's going on here? :D [12:06] Hi. Need a quick reminder. A 32 bit systen has <= how much RAM again? [12:06] Is it 2, if I remember correctly?

[12:11] Now there is a "Sorry, Ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error" window popping up ... [12:12] something about "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server" [12:12] what is that?

[12:20] Right now I am accessing the Chrome (official) website via Firefox and it's doing the exact same thing that the Chrome and Chromium browsers did [12:20] zetheroo: which website is it then? do you get a more indicating errormessage?

[12:21] www.google.com/chrome/ [12:21] I won't go there again since it will just black out my screen again [12:22] k1l: could it be that the browsers and the Chrome website load something in the background that is causing the blackout?

[12:29] I already installed bcm-kernel-source from the software [12:30] I already installed brcmsmac driver but it seems I am unable to connect to any wireless networks [12:31] is syslog the best place to look for info on crashes? [12:31] mikhael_k33hl_: is this in an installation or a live session? [12:31] daftykins: installation, fresh [12:31] zetheroo: it depends what's crashing [12:32] mikhael_k33hl_: presumably this was the one offered via Additional Hardware/Drivers - and you rebooted after install? [12:32] zetheroo: or .xsession-errors [12:32] ikonia: hmm ... vino-server? :P [12:32] zetheroo: depends where/how you've set it to log [12:32] I suspect the syslog won't be logging debug output for that [12:32] daftykins: the one offered in additional hardware does not finish. I mean it just says download/installing but doesn't finish or anything [12:32] k1l: where is that located? [12:32] ~ [12:33] /home/user [12:33] ikonia: I have not set anything to log anywhere.. so it's all defaults I guess [12:33] mikhael_k33hl_: this one then - did you get an interface appear ok? [12:33] k1l: ok [12:33] daftykins: what do you mean? [12:33] and what setup is this on your machine? plain ubuntu ??.?? as native install? or is it some remote desktop? [12:33] mikhael_k33hl_: did you get a 'wlan0' or similar with this driver? [12:34] k1l: simple Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 [12:34] x64 [12:34] hllo everybody [12:34] daftykins: ifconfig seems to be display two ethernet ports, eth0 and eth1 which is wrong since I only have one ethernet port, the other one is for wireless [12:35] that's all that is in the .xsessions-errors log file : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9071493/ [12:35] mikhael_k33hl_: ok, did it actually show some networks then? [12:35] (wireless) [12:35] daftykins: yeha it does [12:35] yeah it does, it even asked me for its password [12:36] mikhael_k33hl_: ok, you can use the system logs to see what's happening when you try (and presumably fail) to connect. have you been referring to the broadcom guide page for all of this? [12:36] zetheroo: well, the logs would be interessting from the time while/after a crash [12:36] daftykins: yeah [12:36] daftykins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [12:36] good stuff [12:36] k1l: you mean the logs in [12:36] i'd have linked it otherwise ;) [12:37] /var/log/ ? [12:37] zetheroo: yes, the recycled logs for xorg or syslog. .xsession-errors gets cleared on reboot (irrc) [12:38] ah ok [12:38] * k1l will be afk now for some time. maybe other can help you there [12:39] ok thanks [12:39] !list [12:39] catullo898: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [12:43] finally fixed bluetooth device..thanks for the help.. [12:45] ok, I am going to visit the Chrome website again in Firefox and then immediately after the crash and hard reset will inspect the syslog ... :P [12:45] hey, does anyone know how to use shh and ftp? [12:45] get too it!! [12:46] Hardtail: do you mean sftp/scp ? [12:46] ikonia, I guess so. I just want to learn how to use terminal instead of and sftp program [12:46] zetheroo: you won't get a log in the syslog for firefox crashing [12:46] Hardtail: man scp [12:47] scp user@host:/destination_path/ local_file [12:47] scp -r user@host:/destination_path/ local_dir [12:47] ok, crashed as expected ... [12:47] I was logged into my website with SSH. When that is done I use SCP? [12:48] Hardtail: no [12:48] Hardtail: you use it from your client to your target [12:48] Hardtail: not when you are logged in [12:48] Hardtail: man scp [12:48] ah ok [12:49] thank you [12:49] I iwll read up on that [12:49] I got this pretty line in syslog ... right before the machine starts booting up again: "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^$" [12:49] :D [12:49] Can I abbort a do-release-upgrade? After updating the sources and stuff, at the point where it tells you how many packages are going to be upgraded, before upgrading ? [12:49] zetheroo1: the syslog will not log firefox crashes [12:50] which one is more standard for exporting a env var? $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.profile? [12:50] mad_: you shouldn't update the sources [12:50] ikonia: I only did do-release-upgrade [12:50] Kartagis: there is not a standard [12:50] Kartagis: it's down to how you want to set it up [12:50] mad_: then whey did you say "after updating sources and stuff" [12:50] This time I opened FF from the terminal and when I went to the Chrome website there was some output .. something about session being reset .... [12:50] But I am in the process at the point where it suggestes the new packages. [12:50] And I wonder, if I can revert from this point safely [12:51] k [12:51] hi [12:51] ikonia: I assumed that are the first steps that do-release-upgrade does [12:51] I am going to try that again ... and take a photo with my phone ... since screenshot didn't work .. :P [12:51] ok, wine doesnt work with ubunbtu [12:51] zeth whats the deal? [12:51] if i load a program it just does nothing [12:52] vbnb66: check the appdb to see if it even works with wine [12:52] ok [12:53] vbnb66: also consider some applications need additional software installed to work with wine - if the software has a wine appdb entry it should state as such... https://appdb.winehq.org/ [12:53] s/installed to/installed within Wine to/ [12:56] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/913175/Workspace%201_113.png <-- I took a screenshot for my question. What's the area called, where the icons are, on the "menu bar"? [12:57] Hello! Short fast question: why would I use a "--system" (-r) group in order to jail my internal-sftp users inside their /home directories? Creation of a normal group wouldn't fit my needs? [12:58] SuperLag: those're indicators - I don't think there's a special name for them, just the 'indicators section of the top bar'... [13:01] ikonia: here is the output of FF before my system goes down ... http://tinypic.com/r/24z9kly/8 [13:03] how can I auto click an area on workspace 2 without switching to workspace 2? [13:05] javnut: I think you would still have to change focus to click it. there are command line tools that might do it [13:05] sacarlson: yeah, that's what I'm doing with xdotool right now [13:06] but it's annoying to see while I'm working [13:06] javnut: IC [13:07] javnut: well what is the window app doing. there might be a way to access it's libs to do the task without xdotool [13:07] I don't know what the window app is [13:08] javnut: ok maybe another option is run it from a headless user so no real screen [13:09] woah, what [13:09] hi [13:09] like have two users logged in? [13:09] and do it on another users computer? [13:09] do you guys know any pdf which describes every step to keep the system clean, safe and stable? [13:10] I mean, on another users account [13:10] that's a really good idea actually [13:10] teward: question about those indicators. If assets that are provided with an application's source have a transparent background, why would they have a non-transparent background when they show up on the indicator section? [13:12] teward: namely, like the leftmost icon on this screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/913175/tomighty_icon.png [13:12] javnut: well I guess the same user can use multiple screens You can use a display server like Xvfb for creating the virtual display and then run GNOME or another desktop [13:12] is the terminal where i would use /configure? [13:13] ej: yes, after you `cd` to the path where the configure file is located [13:14] ej: yes. In the same directory where you extracted your source code files. Keep in mind, that for most binaries, if you don't specify a prefix yourself the final product will go in /usr/local/bin/ [13:14] never used virtual displays [13:15] gg!! ty guys... [13:15] I think the auto-clicker just running on another user's account is just simpler [13:17] javnut: everything a windows app can do you can do from the command line in most cases, so I would look at that first. but there has been times I recall I did web screen scraping that required a real browser [13:17] im soo new!! [13:17] grr.. [13:18] sacarlson: that's good info to know, but the learning curve for the payoff is too small [13:18] javnut: in those cases it would have been nice to have it run in the background off the visible screen [13:18] javnut: ya other option is to run it on a virtual box that you don't have to look at [13:18] agreed! [13:19] doing it in another user's profile kind of does that [13:19] ok open terminal..where is /configure? [13:20] javnut: even in another users account it still comes up on one of the video displays on the system. so if you don't have that user setup to point it's output to virtual you will still see it I think [13:21] sacarlson: see it how? I wouldn't see it unless I logged in I thought [13:22] javnut: well to run an app with that users acount you would have to login. and the app will need to output it's window to something [13:23] ok open terminal..where is /configure? [13:23] that's ok, as long as it's not stealing focus from what I'm currently viewing [13:23] SuperLag: might be a bug in the notifiers - I am not a dev so I do not know why indicators do/don't do something... [13:23] hols [13:23] javnut: I'm not sure if it would or not steel focus [13:24] well I'll test right now [13:24] eyes on your own comp [13:24] javnut: cool tell me how it goes === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [13:26] om26er zhou [13:27] zhou [13:27] hello [13:27] hey.. [13:27] javnut: this is what I should have know about when I was working with silenium to perform it headless http://www.installationpage.com/selenium/how-to-run-selenium-headless-firefox-in-ubuntu/ [13:27] anyone [13:28] zhousida: either ask a support question or go somewhere else [13:31] javnut: so it should be as easy as sudo Xvfb :10 -ac ; export DISPLAY=:10 ; run_your_gui_app ; so another thing to try, note I've never done this before [13:34] In need of some assistance, or at least a general pointing in the right direction... I've installed 64-bit Ubuntu 15.04 from the daily build to my bay trail atom tablet. However, system won't boot after install. I need to install 32-bit efi bootloader from my installation media (live ubuntu usb). Anyone know how to do this? [13:34] zhousida: the answer is 47 [13:35] !+1 | zpertee [13:35] !15.04 | zpertee [13:35] zpertee: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [13:36] so i just extract my downloaded driver pkgs and thats it? [13:36] pretend I said 14.04. The main question is how to install 32-bit efi bootloader from usb stick? [13:37] zpertee: except we can't 'pretend' - use #ubuntu+1 [13:37] zpertee: would the 32bit release not be an option? [13:38] zpertee, not, uefi does not support 32 bit ubuntu [13:38] finally fixed bluetooth device..thanks for the help..// dang it!! [13:38] see the uefi manual [13:38] I'll re-install with 14.04, but I'll have the same issue. 32-bit ubuntu is bios only. 64-bit is 64-bit uefi only. what's a person to do if they need 32-bit uefi? Use a different distro? [13:39] in terminal where is /configure plz.. [13:39] zpertee, no, use 64 bit or go back to the OS your vendor gave you [13:39] hello world...somebody here [13:39] ? [13:40] zpertee: no such thing as 32-bit EFI [13:40] hello all [13:40] hi!! [13:40] daftykins, only for windows ;-) [13:40] really 0o [13:40] ho-hum [13:40] hello people...first time here so ...i m frm greece.. [13:41] periklis: that's nice. do you have a support question? [13:41] (i got peppermint 4 nd need help where should i go?_ [13:42] periklis, look at the peppermint site for the irc channel ? [13:42] i thing nobody is there...(i m new to holl this) [13:43] periklis, another reason to use ubuntu, no? [13:43] periklis: yes we are there [13:43] is there a configure gui? [13:43] ok which chnel should i enter? [13:44] sacarlson: I'll see in aminute === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [13:44] it took a bit of time to set up the new user [13:44] how do i set up a transparent proxy with tor and ubuntu? [13:44] ej configure gui for what? [13:45] my audio drivers [13:45] i unzipped [13:45] said i need to use /configure [13:45] periklis, for peppermint help, ask peppermint. for ubuntu help, install ubuntu and ask. [13:45] ok :P [13:45] thnk [13:46] !build [13:46] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:46] ej: open your terminal and navigate to the folder and use the command [13:46] ej you might need to install a few packages first [13:46] ej: use oerHeks recommendation [13:46] not sure why you need to download audiodrivers anyway [13:46] ty..ty.. ive installed everything.. [13:47] ej: np [13:47] realtek intergrated audio device [13:48] sacarlson: yeah, it works [13:48] simply getting another user to do it is fine [13:48] javnut: cool case closed. [13:49] javnut: but don't you still see the other users screen then? [13:49] OerHeks: Sorry I got a phone call and couldn't respond... So, previously I did install 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04. It would not boot. My system only supports 32-bit uefi. I don't want to run windows... Is there anything that I can do to get ubuntu to work or is it IMPOSSIBLE? Just need to make sure that I understand the bottom line... Thanks. [13:49] sacarlson: no, I lock his/(my) screen [13:49] and their processes just run in the background [13:49] OerHeks: I see a grub-efi-ia32 package out there. what's this for? [13:50] javnut: oh ya I guess if you switch users that other users screens can still be running but you won't see them [13:50] !uefi | zpertee i guess no go, sorry to tell you, read the manual .. [13:50] zpertee i guess no go, sorry to tell you, read the manual ..: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [13:50] pretty much [13:50] u folks r great ..thanks for the info [13:50] good day!! [13:50] have fun ej [13:51] OerHeks: Thanks. I don't mind putting time into something, but if it is impossible then I don't want to waste time either... [13:51] loving this!! [13:51] zpertee: ya the processor mode in a UEFI environment can be either 32-bit (x86-32100, AArch32) or 64-bit (x86-64101, Itanium, and AArch64) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface [13:52] hi! Is it possible to use built-in bluetooth for catching signal from wireless keyboard? [13:53] alexa, wireless keyboard sometimes have their own receiver @ 2.4 khrz, others are bluetooth [13:54] In theory, if I can get a live USB drive with persistent share to work, then it seems like I could clone this drive to the internal hard drive and make a go of it. No? [13:54] find /home/li/ -ctime 0 |grep 'grub' >$name is wrong,why [13:54] OerHeks: first I'll check what frequency this one uses [13:54] alexcheck if it is a bluetooth device, if not, no go === dejan is now known as Guest27590 [13:56] OerHeks: it's 2.4GHz [13:59] OerHeks: I cannot tell if it is bluetooth or not. There is nothing about it in manuals [13:59] alexthere you go, you answered your Q yourself. [14:00] use the dongle/reciever that comes with the keyboard [14:00] OerHeks: so, it's not bluetooth? :( [14:00] OerHeks: broken [14:00] zpertee: seems I still see a bug in ubuntu for install from uefi so look how these guys did it http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/how-cool-lenovo-flex-10-netbook-and-how-install-linux-32-bit-uefi-system/ [14:01] sacarlson, i read more of those attempts, the problem then is: drivers for some hardware .. [14:02] OerHeks: bummer [14:02] jups [14:04] Hi all. Odd question - Trying to configure the moka icons for my system. I set them within unity tweak (on Ubuntu 14.04) but they're not being applied. Any idea where to look in order to troupleshoot? [14:05] pyoor, did you try logout/login ? [14:05] OerHeks: I did, yes. [14:06] what's odd is that they worked for a period of time, then after an update disappeared [14:06] I've made sure the repo is installed and the package as well but still no luck [14:07] I'm new to unity so not entirely sure where I might check [14:07] pyoor, odd, also on their site they claim "To fully experience Moka, it is recommended that you also install Faba Icon Theme." http://mokaproject.com/moka-icon-theme/download/ [14:09] I'm on trusty and have a bunch of old custom stuff stuck from saucy chilling out - it all falls under the "mesa" meta package - but I can't use this package name to remove/purge via apt. Is there some other way I can remove all 30 packages associated with "mesa" without manually typing them all in? Also is there a simple way I can remove all of the stuck "candidates" so dkpg/apt doesn't get confused when I go to reinstall from trusty repos? [14:13] how to check if certain installed package is for arch x86 or x64? [14:14] asido, sudo apt-cache policy should show the arch of the repo it was installed from, i think. [14:14] asido, sorry - apt-cache doesn't require sudo [14:14] asido, install synaptic, that is a detailed softwarecenter. [14:15] zsoc +1 [14:15] zsoc, that worked [14:16] OerHeks, sorry - i just slipped in for a moment - i forgot about the non-CLI-centric approach to user help here xD [14:16] OerHeks, it's headless machine === shadow is now known as Guest64788 [14:20] when i try to use transparent proxying i get this error.

[14:30] RustinCohle: i have no experience with gnome session flashback though, sorry [14:44] If I started an update with do-release-upgrade and the ssh session died, in a new sesson apt-get claims, that there is still a process running in the background. Can I somehow re-attach to the update process? [14:45] How do you make it a position at 1/4th or 1/3rd column to move a window via hot-key? I can only make it 1/2 column or whole column. (Crtl + Alt + KeypadNum) KeypadNum can be 1, 3, 7, 9 or 8, 2, 4, 6 or 5 [14:45] mad_: check if there's a running screen process, iirc it do-release-upgrade launches one...

[14:51] NoName: activate partner repo, then update package list, then install skype package [14:51] Hi [14:51] Noname: keep calm, most people here need up to hours to answer and also do as k1l said [14:51] NoName go into softwarecenter > edit > sources, and enable 3th party repo, then you can install skype [14:51] I've exported a var in my .bashrd and when i do 'echo $var' it works [14:52] however, if i do ssh 'root@178.62.239.179 "echo $var"' it's empty [14:52] why is that? [14:53] Danielss89_: i think because ssh'ing opens up a new tty or something akin to this process [14:53] Danielss89_: because you are running that command instead of your login shell.

You can upgrade [15:11] to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html [15:11] i didnt said it was "broken" in "it doesnt let you chat" [15:11] Tobias[L]: also, if you think that privacy or whatever became *worse* by the acquisition, you seem to be pretty bad informed about the past of Skype [15:11] also pdfinfo return this [15:11] http://hastebin.com/ivewezuzih.avrasm [15:11] Tobias[L], wrong again. [15:11] hello [15:12] how to find what modules nginx-extras and nginx-full provide ? [15:12] i need nginx minifying module [15:12] leeyaa: try apt info nginx-extras [15:12] Tobias: I was unaware of a pgp gui that works with the current ubuntu [15:12] er [15:13] GStoyk: why gui? [15:13] I was sure it was "info". Give me a moment O.o^^ [15:13] ToBeFree: did i say i ever thought it has privacy in the first place? [15:13] "show". :D [15:13] leeyaa, ToBeFree: apt-cache show nginx-extras [15:13] because its pretty [15:13] yeah, I mixed it up with NickServ. :D [15:13] GStoyk: but the command line version works without a flaw XD [15:13] i am not skilled enough [15:14] Tobias[L]: "since microsoft took it," and "glad i switched a long time ago" [15:14] Tobias[L]: that at least *seems* to imply you think it became worse [15:14] hm no minify module [15:14] damn [15:15] leeyaa: you can try to use the subs_filter stuff [15:15] ToBeFree: no idea how to use it [15:15] leeyaa: you can use it to replace, e.g., newlines with something else or nothing [15:16] leeyaa: or you could look for HTML comments using regex matching, and remove them [15:16] ToBeFree: for me it did, the mobile version cleared my battery in minutes while the linux version began to had its features chopped right after (no video calls, group chat problems and way more) while everything worked (mostly) flawlessly on Windows. but as said i switched, every person important to me either did before or slowly changed too so... it doesnt matter to me anymore what happens with [15:16] skype [15:17] Tobias[L]: afaik, Video calls and group chats work fine under Linux too. But I'm happy that you found something that fits your needs. [15:17] ToBeFree: it does now [15:18] the user with the skype issue doesnt answer since some time so please put that discussion into #ubuntu-offtopic. thanks. ToBeFree Tobias[L] [15:18] i cant install skype [15:18] NoName: where are the pastebins? [15:18] Noname what error did you get?

[15:21] ok thank u [15:21] anyone please? [15:21] PCatinean: maybe re-ask if it got lost [15:22] Hello everyone, running ubuntu 13.10 and I open up a pdf and I get: To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade [15:22] to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html [15:22] also pdfinfo return this: [15:22] http://hastebin.com/ivewezuzih.avrasm [15:22] How do I restart the networking in 14.04? Tried a few ways in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015 [15:22] but couldn't get any of them to work [15:22] Launchpad bug 1301015 in ifupdown (Ubuntu) "Networking does not restart" [High,Confirmed] [15:22] (without restarting) [15:22] PCatinean, 13.10 is EOL, upgrade please [15:22] PCatinean: 13.10 is end of life. please upgrade and see if that issue is still there [15:22] OerHeks, tried in it ubuntu 14.10 and still not working [15:23] freshly ugraded and installed [15:23] PCatinean: with which program? [15:23] will update thix box soon [15:23] the standard I guess [15:23] PCatinean: install an alternative program like evince [15:23] PCatinean: try evince or okular [15:23] tried it and still no luck [15:24] isn't the original Adobe Reader available for Linux somehow? I'd try using that, if possible, and maybe checking if there's actually something the other readers won't see. And then maybe file a feature request for the free readers [15:24] (try Wine if it's not natively available) [15:24] ToBeFree: PCatinea: i fancy Foxit installed with wine [15:25] no,#ubuntu-cn, nobody help me [15:25] I should give wine a spin, never tried it even since using ubuntu [15:25] * ToBeFree suppresses a comment on that [15:25] afaik, someone can manually add such a message to a PDF file, with some kind of IF-condition; maybe it's just a wrong message [15:25] NoName: than show the logs i asked for in a pastebin so we can help you [15:25] come on, using a pdf viewer in wine? m( [15:26] k1l: for debugging purposes ^.^ at least if you're referring to my suggestion [15:26] ToBeFree: Foxit is the only program i can use to print PDF files as picture, my printer wont handle any kind of postscript [15:26] Adobe has that function too, I'm sometimes using it [15:26] so how do i use privoxy with tor? [15:26] ToBeFree: k1l: to watch i have pdf.js and evince [15:27] someone with free time to give a hand plz? [15:27] vbnb66: you tell privoxy to use a SOCKS5 connection to your Tor instance at 127.0.0.1, port e.g. 9050 [15:27] i want to be able to use tor as a http proxy [15:27] how do i do that? [15:28] vbnb66: yeah, you would then use privoxy as http proxy which uses Tor to anonymize the traffic. Note that Firefox and probably many others are well able to natively use Tor SOCKS5 instead of a HTTP proxy [15:28] Hey just a quick one. I often use the "^foo^bar" syntax in bash to replace the first occurence of foo with bar. How can I replace *all* occurences of foo with bar from the last command [15:28] yo wassup homie g's [15:29] ok, what do i put into the config file [15:29] vbnb66: also, you might want to use the Tor browser bundle or even Tails linux if this is for web surfing, as there are some issues that might weaken your anonymity else [15:29] okular failed me as well [15:29] ;( [15:29] https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en https://tails.boum.org/ [15:29] vbnb66: the config file should have comments that give an example; try searching for "port" in that file [15:29] i cant get the bundle to install on ubuntu [15:29] vbnb66: well, then *that*'s your issue, not the privoxy thing [15:29] what about socks5? [15:29] vbnb66: let's try to fix that :) [15:30] tor runs fine [15:30] PCatinean: could the pdf file be maliciously made to only run "properly" under a reader it can infect? [15:30] just not the gui [15:30] vbnb66: would it be okay if we try to get your Tor browser bundle running? Because you seem to actually want that and asked for a kind of workaround :) [15:30] vbnb66: The old tor gui got replaced, vidalia doesnt really run anymore [15:30] Tobias[L], not excluded, even though it's from the tax officials [15:31] yea, thats right [15:31] vbnb66: you mean Vidalia? Hmm; could you try to explain what exactly happens when you start the bundle? Do you get any error messages? Are you starting the bundle from the command line? [15:31] its just cmd line i think [15:31] it runs fine [15:31] PCatinean: XD definitely malicious XDXDXD open it inside firefox (native pdf.js viewer), if it doesnt work there try a reader inside wine [15:31] vbnb66: I'll download the newest bundle now and try to run it, give me a moment :) Been some time since I've been using it [15:32] then i get this error, when i try and use it as a http proxy. Socks version 71 not recognized. (Tor is not an http proxy.) [15:32] vbnb66: with which program exactly are you trying to use it as proxy? [15:32] wget and a few others [15:32] ah [15:32] vbnb66: try torify [15:32] torify wget http://whatever [15:33] (might not be installed; try installing it using apt-get install torify tor) [15:33] torify is now just a wrapper around torsocks(1) for backwards compatibility. Usage: /usr/bin/torify [-hv] [...] [15:33] torsocks is installed [15:33] ah [15:33] well then try torsocks :) [15:34] ok [15:34] (that might depend on the standalone Tor daemon to run without special configuration; if it fails to connect to Tor, try installing the system's tor package, using apt-get) [15:37] im trying to torsocks through wine [15:37] get this error [15:37] libtorsocks(8715): WARNING: The symbol res_send() was not found in any shared library with the reported error: Not Found! Also, we failed to find the symbol __res_send() with the reported error: Not Found [15:37] hmm [15:38] vbnb66: so wget works now, and wine is the next problem we're trying to fix? :) === rock is now known as radxarockdualboo === radxarockdualboo is now known as radxabrickedrock [15:38] vbnb66: which program in Wine is it, by the way? [15:39] I have a little problem. I have a network printer over a lan. now I have a wifi adapter connected to that lan and my laptop is connected to that wifi adapter through wifi. Can I send a print to that printer? ( the printer does not support wireless connection) [15:39] this is such a difficult version of lubuntu to have on a raxda rock i really wish i could figure out how to boot it with q4os maybe, or zorin lite, i cant click anything its all just fake click, and grey non options [15:39] pr [15:39] hello [15:39] ??? [15:40] nan [15:40] mum [15:40] Sohail-Ahmed: theoretically, WiFi should behave (with IPs etc.) exactly like a normal wired LAN connection [15:40] sis [15:40] theres a few i want to try [15:40] roboteer_ you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [15:40] can u torsocks through wine? [15:40] i gotta set up wine on your own its good practice, i need some wine [15:40] vbnb66: which program in Wine, and do you mean "wine through torsocks"? I'm unsure what exactly you're trying to do [15:41] ToBeFree: Thanks for responding. Any resource? so that I can make it happen. [15:41] theres a few i want to try [15:42] Sohail-Ahmed: I sadly have no resources in mind about this :D If there's something you'd do if the printer had a WiFi connection, it should simply work, I think - but I'm saying that as someone who failed to get a WiFi-enabled printer working :s [15:42] vbnb66: which exactly did you try when you got the error [15:42] ToBeFree: Sorry but printer is not wifi [15:42] ToBeFree: is it still possible? [15:43] printer is connected over a lan. [15:43] vbnb66: and which command exactly did you enter [15:43] Sohail-Ahmed, sorry, I thought you managed to wifi-enable a printer which normally has no WiFi but just a wired LAN connection. If you managed to do that, it should work as if there was a LAN connection, I would think without having tried it or knowing the exact situation [15:43] Sohail-Ahmed: it *does* work via wired LAN, you've tried that? [15:43] could someone tell me what this actually does? :) [15:43] echo "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0" >> /etc/fstab [15:43] ToBeFree: yes its working on the lan. [15:44] ToBeFree: I tried to search for a network printer over my wifi connection, but it failed to bring it up. [15:44] I found the answer in another channel: !!:gs/foo/bar/ [15:44] tafa2: I'm not an expert. To me it looks like it adds a partition which is going to be available by default, a temporary partition (tmpfs) at /dev/shm ... but waiting for someone with more knowledge about fstab should be a good thing :D [15:45] thanks ToBeFree [15:45] tafa2: do you expect it to do something specific? [15:45] no problem^^ [15:45] do debs record where programs will log to if the configuration file is unchanged? my guess is "no" [15:45] tafa2: ToBeFree is correct [15:45] No im reading through a security tutorial/blogpost and someone mentioned that is a good step by not sure what it did... [15:46] Sohail-Ahmed: is the WiFi allowing peer communication? I know some routers that allow the admin to disable WiFi clients talking to each other [15:46] Sohail-Ahmed: that'd be the only thing I could think of here; again, I am completely unexperienced with that stuff and can just guess :/ [15:46] zykotick9 any point to it? [15:47] ToBeFree: would you plz elaborate peer communication over wifi? [15:47] tafa2: that i'm not sure of. my /dev/shm is empty... no idea what that actually does, other then putting a tmpfs there? i've never run across /dev/shm before?!? [15:48] Sohail-Ahmed: you'd need to be able to connect to your printer's IP in your LAN via WiFi. Some routers can forbid that, if they are configured to forbid that [15:48] ToBeFree: But how can I get the ip of my network printer when its dhcp configured? [15:49] tafa2: zykotick9: I haven't yet read through it, but maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/what-is-devshm-and-its-practical-usage.html helps [15:50] Sohail-Ahmed: I'd really just check if it responds to pings: fping -g 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.255 (for example) to ping all clients in that range [15:50] Sohail-Ahmed: what's your computer's LAN IP? [15:50] thank ToBeFree ill check it out [15:50] Sohail-Ahmed: try the "ifconfig" command, maybe pastebin the output [15:50] you're welcome :) [15:50] HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [15:50] ToBeFree: 192.168.9.5 [15:50] hello [15:50] hi Carolina, can we help you somehow^^ [15:50] hi [15:51] can anyone english lend me 5 minutes? Trying to pen this ubuntu box [15:51] yesss [15:51] ToBeFree: thanks. TIL. tafa2 so you might want to check with "mount" if that is already setup tmpfs (mine was). [15:51] Carolina: if you're just looking for a nice place to chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##chat or whatever :) Else, feel free to specify your question ^.^ [15:51] aparently this pdf works only in acrobat reader in windows [15:51] ToBeFree: installing the program fping [15:52] ah right, it's not shipped by default [15:52] also install nmap while you're at it [15:52] we might need to do portscanning to find that thing. lol [15:52] byeee :) [15:53] ToBeFree: nmap and fping installed [15:53] Sohail-Ahmed: ah, now I saw the line with your computer's IP :D Do you know the IP of another computer too? Maybe of your router, e.g. 192.168.9.1, or of someone else having a computer in your network? [15:53] great :) [15:53] Sohail-Ahmed: or maybe you even know what range IPs in your LAN can be in, that would be what I'm looking for [15:53] :) === jan is now known as Guest70098 [15:54] Sohail-Ahmed: also, are you the person who set up the router? The router admin might have a way to show all WiFi clients attached to them, with their IPs and MACs [15:55] ToBeFree, that is a good start indeed [15:55] referring to what line, sorry? :D [15:55] ToBeFree: 4 are alive. 1, 3, 7, 25 [15:55] Sohail-Ahmed: all at 192.168.9.x? [15:56] yes [15:56] one moment [15:56] I'm running an ubuntu server 12.04, and python-virtualenv seems not to be available [15:56] ToBeFree: np, you are already very helpful [15:56] to get into the router and find attached networkdevices , also this might be a help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [15:56] Sohail-Ahmed: okay, then let's try [15:56] fping -g 192.168.9.1 192.168.9.255 | grep alive [15:57] ah, I'll add that page to my bookmarks, that will be a nice page to link to in many cases - thanks! :D [15:57] (maybe it even helps me to get mine working one day. lol) [15:57] if I try to run virtualenv I get `you can install it by typing apt-get install python-virtualenv`, but if I try to install it I get package 'python-virtualenv' has no installation candidate [15:57] lacrymology, should be > http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-virtualenv [15:58] ToBeFree: same but one addition, 19 is also alive [15:58] OerHeks: what "should be"? [15:58] ToBeFree: so now 1, 3, 7, 25, 19 [15:58] Oh, I see, fping uses the error output for the unreachable lines. That's inconvenient and breaks my grep command a bit... at least it won't *only* show the ones which are alive. But if it works anyway, nice :) [15:58] lacrymology, come on, what url did i post? [15:58] Sohail-Ahmed: I guess 19 might be either your mobile phone or your printer. :D [15:59] Sohail-Ahmed: we could try to find out: [15:59] sudo nmap -sS -A 192.168.9.19 [15:59] (might take some time to run) [15:59] OerHeks: I understand what you typed, but WHAT should be that? should I wget that? should I apt-add-repository that? [16:00] I just got used to -sS for whatever reason, it might be unneeded. It should work like that, but maybe -sS is not needed. It just specified the kind of portscanning done. The -A is the important thing [16:00] maybe even try both, with -sS and without [16:00] OerHeks: should I navigate into that from my cell phone and then copy it through ftp to the server? [16:00] lacrymology, it should be available without doing something special, can you pastebin the output of the complete error? [16:01] ToBeFree: wait plz. it has runned instantly. I need to show you output in paste bin [16:01] OerHeks: sure, give me 2 minutes, I'm giving apt-get update a second chance [16:01] Sohail-Ahmed: ok sure :) [16:01] I'm unsure what this is about, but apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade can't be wrong [16:01] ^.^ [16:01] especially the latter tends to fix some problems sometimes [16:03] hmpf.. is there a way to somewhat automatically re-select the apt sources? it's pointing to us.archive.ubuntu and I'm in freaking malaysia [16:04] desktop ubuntu? yes go to settings and software and sources [16:04] How do I find a duplicate PPA and delete it? [16:04] daftykins: no, server [16:04] danileigh79: check /etc/apt/sources.list + /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [16:04] daftykins: thanks [16:04] lacrymology, you can search for the nearest/best server near you [16:05] source, other. performs a search of servers [16:05] ToBeFree: sorry for the delay, I have to shift to my laptop, since I was on my desktop initially. http://pastebin.com/ZA3rkXDD [16:05] Sohail-Ahmed: hey, no problem :) [16:06] * ToBeFree looks at that one, also did you know http://paste.ubuntu.com exists? :) [16:06] Hello guys, I've tried to add text tag to grub so when booting into ubuntu i will be booted into tty1 instead of tty7. And it works fine. But when i after that do startx it starts login screen but then just hangs.. Any ideas? [16:07] Hey, would anyone be able to help me with problems I'm having with kernel modules [16:07] ToBeFree: I think its my tablet. runing the scan over 7 [16:07] Sohail-Ahmed: ok :) [16:07] ObrienDave: that's not available in server, though :) [16:08] ooooooo [16:08] ToBeFree: for 7 http://pastebin.com/XL0bKQeq [16:09] if all scanned ports are closed, there are two possibilities: 1) The printer listens on a port we didn't scan for; to be entirely sure we'd need to add -p1-65535 to the nmap line, and -T4 or even -T5 to survive waiting for that... or it's simply not the printer and it would be wasted time anyway. It would be surprising me if it didn't listen on one of the checked 1000 ports [16:09] * ToBeFree looks [16:09] daftykins, i'll have to study server. i got one last week :) [16:09] Sohail-Ahmed: there's a SSH daemon running on that device O.o [16:10] Sohail-Ahmed: is that a server / your linux machine with a SSH server you manually added? [16:10] ToBeFree: wait [16:10] lacrymology: did you find a solution yet? [16:10] lacrymology: make a backup of your /etc/apt/sources.list then use this - http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [16:10] ToBeFree: its my laptop. [16:11] Sohail-Ahmed: ah ok^^ [16:11] ToBeFree: 25 is taking too much time [16:11] baxos: i wouldn't expect startx to start a login screen (DM), it should be starting a DE or WM. Look into creating a ~/.xinitrc or better a ~/.xsession with your DE/WM specified like "exec FOO_DE". good luck. [16:11] Sohail-Ahmed: I'm afraid the connection might simply be not working if we don't even see the printer, but there is also the other possibility that the printer doesn't respond to pings [16:11] We could now check - instead of pinging - who has their printer ports listening [16:11] ToBeFree: and printer is responding while scaning the ip 25 from my laptop [16:12] :o [16:12] hey really? Did it do something? [16:12] ToBeFree: I think we have found the ip [16:12] baxos: never use startx, it's sudo service lightdm start [16:12] Sohail-Ahmed: in any case, I'd wait for the scan to complete, even if it takes some time :) [16:12] daftykins: is there any reason ubuntu has gone anti-startx? [16:13] zykotick9: nothing official i know about, i've just seen it said - and seen people break things with it :) [16:13] daftykins alright i'll check it out =) [16:13] . [16:13] ToBeFree: this is my printer. see for yourself http://pastebin.com/T1UV2U4n [16:13] \o/ [16:14] 515/tcp open printer? <--- try using that one maybe :D 192.168.9.25, port 515 [16:14] (now nobody can say nmap hasn't got its legitimate not-even-pentesting use cases. =P) [16:15] ToBeFree: I am sorry for being noob, but at this point I don't know what to write in the host box of network search for printers apart from 192.168.9.25 [16:16] Sohail-Ahmed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu#Printing_from_Ubuntu and use 192.168.9.25 ? [16:18] ToBeFree: OerHeks: May latop has found the printer and has also installed the driver itself. But now the problem is that printer is dhcp configured. How can I make/add this printer permentaly. Do I need to make printer static? [16:19] Sohail-Ahmed, yes, static is preferable, i think your router can do this. [16:20] OerHeks: theoretically I guess your router already even does this [16:20] sorry, I meant Sohail-Ahmed [16:20] :D [16:20] Hi all, I'm working on an ARMHF ubuntu image.. I'm starting with the .img from the website, but is there a way I can chroot into it and apt-get/update some things so I don't have to do it on-boot on every board? [16:20] applepi, you might want to ask this in #ubuntu-arm [16:21] Sohail-Ahmed: at least until you reboot it (the router, not the printer) - but yeah, try using the router's configuration interface (I think at 192.168.9.1) to set that up. Should be possible somehow [16:21] ToBeFree: I am sorry, what does that mean. my printer is configured to be a dhcp. Does my router keep it static???? [16:21] OerHeks: okay, thanks. [16:21] Sohail-Ahmed: it normally should, a bit. I'd expect it to do so, but explicitly telling your router to use a static IP for that MAC address will be better [16:21] ToBeFree: to make my printer static, I have to use the printer's lcd. I know that.

[16:53] Naphatul_: are they not in /var/crash/ ? [16:54] untill now they've been in the working directory, with previous versions of ubuntu and other distros [16:55] so ulimit -c will set it to the previous behaviour permanently?

[17:08] I recently tried to move a a roughly 1TB tar.gz file from a backup drive to my 14.04 machine. [17:08] My 14.04 machine has 4 hard drives, sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd. The sda disk has my Windows 8 data, and sdb has my Ubuntu OS and some other data on it. [17:08] all the disks are roughly 500GB large. [17:09] I'm using LVM, so I assumed that when I tried to move the 1TB over Ubuntu would be able to splay the data over the multiple disks, specifically sdc and sdd. [17:10] no [17:10] However the write failed, and then I realized that sdc and sdd weren't even mounted. I realized this by typing "mount" and seeing that only /dev/sdb1 showed up. [17:11] From my understanding if you have a 1TB file, you need a drive that is 1TB in size or greater to hold that file. [17:11] along with a bunch of other stuff in /sys/ and /run. So my question is, how do I get these drives to mount automatically, and is there a way for me to say "send my 1TB tar.gz file over to my 14.04 machine, but have it splay that data over multiple disks"? [17:11] vertak: sidenote, a compressed .gz 1TB is kinda dangerous, if any part of that gets corrupted, you'll loose the whole thing. just sayin' [17:12] zykotick9: that makes a lot of sense, I didn't know I hsould be worried about it being corrupted. [17:12] So then I should unpack it on the backup server, and then send it piecemeal from there to the different disks. [17:12] vertak: justmoreinfo, with just a tar, you can safe some of the data sometimes, with gz no hope... [17:14] sh === apsey is now known as vuash [17:15] So I try to do the following command: [17:15] sudo mount /dev/sdc5 secondhd/ -t auto [17:15] and it says: [17:15] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [17:17] df -T [17:18] vertak: What filesystem is on sdc5? [17:18] vertak: might want to take a look in your menu for Disks. you can see what you are mounting and mount from there [17:18] vertak: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc [17:18] vertak: try putting the full path to secondhd/ like /foo/secondhd [17:18] squinty: I'm running 14.04 server edition, so I don't have access to any GUI applications [17:19] vertak: oops, also try taking the "-t auto" out [17:19] acer: here's the output of your command [17:19] Disk /dev/sdc: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes [17:19] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders, total 1250263728 sectors [17:19] Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes [17:19] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [17:19] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [17:19] vertak you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [17:20] !paste | vertak [17:20] vertak: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[17:27] vertak: "try taking the "-t auto" out" [17:28] acer: yes, when I do "sudo mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt/secondhd/" I get that I must specify a filesystem type [17:28] blkid [17:29] hello [17:29] how to enable SLI in ubuntu 14.04 ? [17:29] and later - How to check is SLI enabled? [17:30] vertak: You do know then that "auto" is not a filesystem type. Right? [17:31] acer: yes, I assumed it was an option that tells mount to try to guess what the filesysem is based on data within the block device. [17:31] vertak: it's not [17:31] It looks at partition info and tries to deduce from there the filesystem [17:32] genii: OK, so by the fact that it can't detect the filesystem from the partition info, that suggests that the drive is formatted correctly. [17:32] I meant isn't* formatted correctly. [17:33] vertak: Correct. But did you try the mount command without "-t auto"? [17:33] vertak: The problem is you can have szay a partition which says it's something like NTFS or FAT32 LBA but it's actually formatted some other thing like ext4 , in that case it can't be automounted [17:34] acer: yes, the output of running "sudo mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt/secondhd/" was "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [17:34] lunch, afk [17:34] vertak: Try ext3 or 4 [17:34] vertak: your /dev/sdc5 is LVM volume. read up on LVM... you need to hande it with LVM tools to expose the actual parititions, I think (don't ask me more, never played with it manually myself) [17:34] vertak: But it should auto-detect and mount it. [17:35] vertak: Are you sure it's not alreday mounted and in use? [17:36] acer: I run it with "-t ext4", and it says "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5" and then I look in syslog because it suggests to look there, and in syslog it says "can't find a valid FAT filesystem, can't find ext4 filesystem" [17:37] it's definitely not mounted, because I type "mount" and nothing related to sdc or sdd shows up. [17:37] vertak: sudo apt-get install lvm2 [17:38] vertak: google for "lvm howto" or "lvm tutorial" [17:40] vertak: lvdisplay /dev/Vol #And hit the tab key couple times [17:40] vertak: Or: pvs [17:42] hey [17:42] acer: will do. Just for more info. when I do "sudo lshw" and I look at the info for sdc and sdd, it says they're NTFS volumes. [17:42] its cool [17:43] 有中国人在吗 [17:43] which is strange because "sudo fdisk -l" seemed to suggests they were Linux under the System column of the info. [17:43] sudo fdisk -l [17:44] vertak: you really can't rely on sda sdb sdc staying the same. i believe often, what you are booting from will become sda, and everything else will shift (thus reason for using UUIDs/Labels) [17:45] hey guys [17:45] I just noticed that I don't have multi desktop anymore...is it normal? [17:45] Where can i find the labels?

I type "sudo lvdisplay /dev/Vol" and then hit tab multiple times and nothing happens. [17:52] eb0t, how do we tell? [17:52] acer: lol.

[17:52] i said kb waht is that ...and they didnt respond [17:52] He4dShOt: I had to toggle on in 14.04 not sure about previous versions to be honest [17:53] I don't know what to say, lvdisplay doesn't do anything for me. it can't find ANY of the logical volumes on my machine, even the sda and sdb disks which are mounted.

[18:16] vertak: what was your initial question? are you looking for help mounting your second disk? [18:16] matrixa1: best go back to 14.04 then [18:17] daftykins, is it possible to run 14.10 with 14.04 kernel?

[18:17] matrixa1: what benefit do you believe you're getting, from running 14.10 over the LTS? [18:17] pocheche: remove that file and stop trying to run X applications as root [18:18] daftykins, time, I have a lot of development going on right now [18:18] matrixa1: somehow running non-LTS saves you time? [18:18] vertak: But the way I understand it, you'd have to had to have installed via LVM configuration in order to utilize it.

[18:21] ikonia, i know Thinkpads have the necessary kernel module to modify charging settings [18:21] You don't want to tell the kernel anything unless you wrote it AFAIK [18:22] matrixa1: why do you think this problem is the kernel [18:22] ikonia, because identifying battery statistics is extremely non-portable code [18:22] matrixa1: what you just said makes no sense [18:22] output of "sudo parted -l": http://paste.ubuntu.com/9076012/ [18:22] matrixa1: the kernel is very portable [18:23] Tried to delete the file startx throughs same error (xauth: /home/myusername/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored) and (xinit: unable to conect to X server: no such file or directory [18:23] Is Ubuntu easy to use [18:23] ikonia, what I said is that battery statistics are read with the help of asm code, using a module, that resides in the kernel [18:23] pocheche: ls -la /home/yourusername/.Xauthority [18:23] matrixa1: it's also managed and controlled via APM and APIC [18:23] matrixa1: I'm also not sure it is a problem with the kernel but if 14.04 worked well, and 14.10 does not work well for you, my advise [also] would be just to re-install 14.04. (Besides the fact that 14.04 is LTS and 14.10 is not.) [18:24] matrixa1: what is your issue? Fiddling with kernel params is usually at the bottom of things to try [18:24] daftykins: output of "sudo parted -l": http://paste.ubuntu.com/9076012/ [18:24] Same as before but with my username [18:24] pocheche: please show me exactly [18:25] belgianguy, OS can't stop charging battery, it goes into a charge/finish/charge/finish loop at ~92% [18:25] what model? [18:25] matrixa1: that is expected behaviour in some thinkpads [18:25] belgianguy, NAPA battery model, this is a Fujitsu NH532 Ivy Bridge [18:25] eg: the T42 and T43 do it by design [18:25] -rw------- pocheche pocheche 0 nov 18 19:20 /home/pocheche/.Xauthority [18:26] ikonia, trickle charge shouldn't be advertised as normal charging [18:26] pocheche: and what is the command you are running [18:26] startx [18:26] which in that case reduces the problem to false positives by bad GUI management ikonia [18:26] matrixa1: it doesn't differentiate in a dispay factor [18:26] eg: I have a battery at %97 plugged in and not charging [18:26] vertak: yeah because sdc and sdd are LVM, you can't mount them by the partition [18:26] pocheche: as who [18:26] pocheche: why is your desktop not starting automatically ? [18:27] pocheche: there should be no need to run startx [18:27] HexChat: 2.10.0 ** OS: Linux 3.16.0-25-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "utopic" 14.10 ** CPU: 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.60GHz ** RAM: Physical: 5.7GiB, 85.1% free ** Disk: Total: 1.9TiB, 89.6% free ** VGA: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI1: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH ** Ethernet: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[18:27] vertak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM [18:27] matrixa1: yes, mine does that in windows also [18:28] vertak: you're only reading the primary partitions, likely you've used them with Windows before and have never properly removed their boot partitions [18:28] I know but starts on text line and askme to login [18:28] ubuntu_: yes, somehow [18:28] you cabn see more battery info with acpi > sudo apt-get install acpi && acpi -i -b -a [18:28] pocheche: why ? [18:28] cabn-can [18:28] ubuntu_: what do you plan to use Ubuntu for? :) I could then tell you how easy or hard that is [18:28] pocheche: when you install the ubuntu desktop release it will start X by default [18:28] ubuntu_: also, are you used to some other OS's applications? Microsoft Word can be nicely replaced by OpenOffice/LibreOffice Writer, for example [18:28] pocheche: did you fiddle with gfx drivers or some such? [18:29] daftykins: does that I mean I should used parted to repartition them? I have nothing on them. [18:29] vertak: They are flagged as LVM 8e [18:29] when K login I get (sh: /var/run/motd.new: not a directory) [18:29] I know [18:29] ikonia, in that case I want to confirm one more thing with you, since you experience a similar behaviour. Whenever tricke charging kicks in (on and off for some time) does the battery voltage drop with each "trickle"? Check battery stats [18:29] Is an old installation [18:29] pocheche: please answer the quetion [18:29] vertak: no, it's only 256MB so there's no point. just focus on learning to mount LVM [18:29] pocheche: when you install ubuntu it starts the desktop by default - why is yours not [18:29] vertak: So we don't know they are formatted at all. Look at the link I sent you above [18:30] Yes is an old installation and today thats happened [18:30] I am using it for my Ubuntu class [18:30] btrfs is a nice file system that can be resized at runtime, while the partition is mounted - just if that's interesting here, I thought I should mention it [18:30] pocheche: and how did this happen? [18:31] any particular thing you were doing or did you just start it and no screen? [18:32] acer: daftykins: I have to go, but thank you so much for the help, I will backup my data and learn LVM. [18:32] vertak: or avoid using it entirely ;) [18:32] ubuntu_: for a class? Well, what are you going to do with that class? :) [18:33] ubuntu_: I assume you're a teacher? Or a student? [18:33] Don't know, well sure something, but I shutdown yesterday and today has that present [18:33] daftykins: maybe. Really from this convo I've learned I need to learn more about partitions/disks in general. [18:33] ubuntu_: also, if you prefix your answer with "ToBeFree:", I get a message about it, that would be useful :) [18:34] any of you guys looking for the source code for DES256.CPP well here it is [18:34] ubuntu_: also others then know who you're talking to^^ [18:34] Had to save it on a USB and run it that way but wish I could download it to my computer but I don't really want to mess my computer up. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:34] !tab | ubuntu_ this might help with ToBeFree's request [18:34] ubuntu_ this might help with ToBeFree's request: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:34] ubuntu_: also try entering "ToBe" and pressing the Tab key, that makes it easier - hah zykotick9 thanks [18:35] ubuntu_: you saved an Ubuntu .iso on the stick? [18:35] or did you install Ubuntu on it? I'm unsure what you did :) [18:36] ToBeFree, yes [18:36] ubuntu_: also, copying an .iso file to your computer's harddrive won't mess anything up [18:36] ubuntu_: you could then use that .iso to burn a DVD/CD from it [18:36] CD if it's less than 700MB afaik [18:36] ToBeFree, he ran ubuntu from a stick, odd question you asked [18:36] what problem u have? [18:37] OerHeks: no, it's not odd imho. Especially if they ask if it's easy to use, I wonder if they even used it ever, and their "yes" reply to my first question also seems to imply that it's just an .iso :/ [18:37] ToBeFree, yes it is, as he ran it already. read carefull [18:38] Please heelp [18:38] !ask | pocheche [18:38] pocheche: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:38] pocheche: what version are you running?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:39] OerHeks: I seem to be blind though. Could you maybe point out to me where I overlooked that? :D [18:39] I might well have missed it between all the other chat, especially because of the missing prefix :D [18:39] Hi there can't start ubuntu, it does start on text line and when K login I get (sh: /var/run/motd.new: not a directory) and when trh to startx get also errors (xauth: /home/myusername/.Xauthority not … [18:39] …writable, changes will be ignored) and (xinit: unable to conect to X server: no such file or directory) Im a bit crazy with this can anyone help me? [18:39] Had to save it on a USB and run it that way ... [18:40] pocheche: Any events leading up to this issue? [18:40] OerHeks: thanks :) [18:40] No [18:40] pocheche: Is it a fresh install? [18:41] ToBeFree, I had to download the OS to my flash drive [18:41] Its an old installation, never have problems [18:41] ubuntu_, if you run into issues while installing, you can get advice from here [18:41] pocheche: did you update the system maybe? [18:41] pocheche: How old? [18:41] can you try an older kernel? [18:41] (if there were more installed) [18:41] pocheche: 12.04? [18:42] Well two years may be, yes 12.04 [18:42] ubuntu_: that's how you install ubuntu, you download it to your flash drive, boot the live usb, and then install it from a live session [18:42] pocheche: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:42] ubuntu_: so you can boot from that stick and Ubuntu runs? That's nice. You can install Ubuntu next to your current OS using that stick. It should not mess anything up, but as with every such thing, it's always best to have a backup of everything you don't want to lose. That's not an Ubuntu-specific suggestion but something you might want to do regularly anyway.^^ [18:43] pocheche why not get LM17 MATE (Qiana) 64bit and boot off the disc and let the desktop come and then double click the install OS icon which looks like a DVD showing on the desktop and follow the instructions to the letter then everything should fall into place [18:44] David1965: why dont you join irc.spotchat.net and join #linuxmint-chat and everything will fall into place [18:44] David1965, he could, but would not get support from us :-D [18:44] ToBeFree, I already do that I have a lab I had to do and it said to ask a question on here to see if someone responds but I know what I am doing so far but thanks for the help [18:45] EriC just trying to help someone get their of up and running [18:45] pocheche: reinstall ubuntu-desktop maybe? [18:45] sudo apt-get update error stat under /var/lib/sudo: not such a directory and missing list etc [18:46] anthing i donload in linux mint doesnt show when i restart my computer but the free space remains the same [18:46] Cant do anything [18:46] maybe you can provide a pastebin of uname -a and lsb_release -a [18:46] perhaps check if you can drop to a shell from grub? [18:46] pocheche: May have filesystem errors. You might reboot again and see if it does fsck for you. === dejan is now known as Guest18107 [18:46] !mint | ravi_ [18:46] ravi_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [18:46] I prefer to use Quassel rather than the other package that was installed as it sooms to work better [18:47] sudo apt-get install cinnamon would probably work, too [18:47] (just the DE, not the distro) [18:47] its same as ubuntu [18:47] Tried to reboot several times [18:47] Thank u a lot any way [18:47] rebooting doesn't magically fix things, people fix things :) [18:47] ravi_: mint is not the same as ubuntu. just as ubuntu is not the same as debian. get support from the proper channel/people. [18:48] ravi_: join irc.spotchat.net and join #linuxmint-chat [18:48] and repeating the same action and expecting different results... :) [18:48] True [18:48] their support sucks :( [18:48] ravi_, Install ubuntu than. [18:48] ravi_: so, perhaps support should be a criteria for choose what distro you use [18:48] ravi_: Or, to say it more accurately, use irc.spotchat.net server and join #linuxmint-chat [18:49] mint has its own issues [18:49] pocheche: can you get to a terminal? [18:49] Hi, guys, what channel should I go to to get help with Linux Lite? [18:50] Would installing a different DE overwrite his X settings? [18:50] pocheche: I'm not on Ubuntu but /etc/motd is the message of the day. Some X config file is reading it as a directory. [18:50] kat_, look at hte linux lite website ? [18:50] I login on textline [18:50] ok thanks [18:50] pocheche: ok [18:50] pocheche: maybe you can provide a pastebin of uname -a and lsb_release -a [18:51] Well dont know how to do it without gui [18:52] pocheche: ... [18:52] pocheche: what does "lsb_release -sc" report? [18:52] One sec [18:52] pocheche: those are commands for the text line [18:52] Yes but how pastebin then [18:52] Un sec I write down [18:53] irc.spotchat.org doesn't want to work in Quassel or I must be doing something wrong as there was only I operator plus me and no one els [18:53] pocheche: pastebinit is a terminal command for putting stuff on pastebin sites. but the "lsb_release -sc" should be one word. [18:53] Must go now bye. [18:53] pocheche: Please do this and send me the URL: sudo grep -Hnr "$HOME" -e "/etc/motd" | pastebinit [18:54] he might need to install pastebinit first through CLI, which he might not be accustomed to [18:56] "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" [18:57] on AZERTY, the pipe character is + <1> [18:57] meaning this: | [18:58] pocheche: lsb_release -sc | pastebinit [18:58] I am having problems with ubuntu 14.04 which seems to be lagging on my laptop with 4gb ram and AMD radeon R2 processor, any help would be greatly appreciated [18:58] usr13: -sc should be one word, no need for pastebin [18:58] pocheche: But something like the above would be only one line [18:59] pocheche: (Was just giving an example to answer your question, how to use pastebin). === prosper is now known as Guest80037 [19:00] vasanth: Try xfce [19:00] thank you usr13, will try that out now [19:01] Ok thanks. 5 minutes Im a person whith disabilitys [19:02] vasanth: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:02] usr13: thanks again running that [19:02] * zykotick9 believe xfce4 is the package for just the DE, if you don't want to duplicate a lot of programs... [19:03] vasanth: my note above was intended for you, as an FYI [19:04] zykotick9, so running sudo apt-get install xfce4 would be preferable ? [19:04] vasanth: zykotick9's suggestion will give you a more generic desktop, which may be more to your liking. [19:05] vasanth: it'll install "less" that's for sure, but if you want the full xubuntu experience, use the desktop metapackage as usr13 origionally suggested. [19:05] vasanth: Choice is yours, but xfce4 will install less [19:05] vasanth: You could try it and see.... [19:05] I will be going with xfce4 to try it out and maybe install the entire thing later, hope it fixes the lag, thank you [19:05] vasanth: Good idea. === Chaser__ is now known as Chaser [19:07] hi [19:07] vasanth: you might need to log out and log in and pick Xubuntu/XFCE rather then Ubuntu (the icon to the right of your name) [19:08] that will load the chosen interface [19:08] belgianguy, thanks its still downloading so once done, will do that [19:10] is there a way to eliminate the option of logging into a guest session?

Yes I get error cant open /var/lib/dpkg/lock open 20: it's not a directory [19:18] Amy_Lu_Who: Ctrl + O saves (look at the bottom) [19:18] ok [19:18] ^O = Ctrl + O [19:18] belgianguy: thanks. [19:18] and that's 'oh', not 'zero' [19:19] belgianguy, that is not listed as an option. i would have seen that. [19:19] Amy_Lu_Who: Can you state what is at the bottom of your screen? [19:19] or upload a screenshot if possible [19:20] belgianguy, that worked, but the options did not include "save" [19:20] I've done a full install custom encrypted / . so no swap just / and no lvm. it works but I mounted / and added some files and now when I boot it and correctly enter my pass it doesn't complete boot and offers the option of dropping to a maintenance shell with the error of the checksum not matching for root fs. how do I regenerate this checksum? [19:21] belgianguy, i am going to reboot and see if it really worked. thanks for the help [19:21] What's the best way to reinstall without losing a lot of info [19:21] pocheche, By being backed up. [19:21] pocheche: I think you can use the Live DVD to back up your data before the re-install. [19:22] pocheche: as naptime says, boot from liveUSB and backup to an external disk [19:22] pocheche: and then install 14.04 or 14.10 [19:22] Yes i can do it but what follder i have to keep [19:23] pocheche: Which directories/files are important to you? [19:23] pocheche: you can use another PC to create bootable USB sticks (UnetBootin works on everything AFAIK) === jack is now known as Guest59063 [19:23] pocheche: You probably don't need any system/config files since you're reinstalling. Just save any user data you want. [19:24] pocheche: work/school/private data, pictures, savegames and documents [19:24] belgianguy, i still have a guest session. [19:24] Amy_Lu_Who: Then you probably didn't save it :) [19:24] Amy_Lu_Who: can you reopen the file and check if the line is still there? [19:24] ciao [19:24] 'nano' is the name of the text editor [19:24] so the question is how to re-generate the checksum of a crypto install? [19:24] Well im going to backup the entire home folder [19:25] Amy_Lu_Who: I think you need to reboot for it to take effect, not just log out. [19:25] But what abot programs? [19:25] pocheche: Just reinstall them. [19:25] Ooookk [19:25] pocheche: you'll have to reinstall them, but you can make a list of the ones you need [19:26] Hi all has anyone tried installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer lately on 24.04 [19:26] Oookk thank you very very much [19:26] I get an error that it isn't available but reffered to by another package [19:27] belgianguy, "WriteOut" means save? [19:27] Amy_Lu_Who: Yes [19:28] Amy_Lu_Who: Mine's in Dutch, so it probably adapts its shortcuts to its translations [19:28] DarkStar1, Check software & updates 2nd tab that independent and canonical partners repos are ticked, if not do that and run a update. [19:28] bubbasaures: I'm on remote server [19:28] bubbasaures: and I have ran the updates [19:29] DarkStar1, That is your issue, I just gave you a path. [19:29] ok, it is saved, and I restarted the computer... but i moved the line "allow-guest=false" to below "[SetDefaults]" I think that might have been my mistake [19:29] Amy_Lu_Who: so did it disable it now? [19:30] belgianguy, i will log out again and see [19:30] bubbasaures: that's a desktop solution but I will see if I can find something online as to which repository it exists in for trusty [19:30] bubbasaures: but thanks [19:31] DarkStar1, Those are the repos it would be in it is 3rd party. [19:32] belgianguy, that did it, thank you. === Guest59063 is now known as jack [19:33] heh [19:33] what? [19:34] its funny [19:34] Amy_Lu_Who: you're welcome! [19:34] albert___, No dual nicks here. [19:34] bubbasaures: like this one : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/3.4+nmu1ubuntu1 [19:34] really? [19:34] im just boring [19:34] the next thing I want to do is to set permissions for a child's user account, like an admin password required for say anywebsite not on a list of what I approved. is that possible? [19:34] albert___, You're abusing the channel. [19:35] Amy_Lu_Who: I'd say look into a browser extension, and that your child cannot bypass it [19:35] Amy_Lu_Who: as he or she might install another browser, or find out what a proxy is, or use Tor... [19:36] what does '?' means in `service --status-all` [19:36] belgianguy, i don't think she is that smart, just yet. how do I "look into browser extention? [19:37] Amy_Lu_Who: this might be of interest to you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls [19:38] belgianguy, by seeing the name I think so! thanks again. I am sure i will be back. I still have so much to learn. [19:38] Amy_Lu_Who: until next time then :) [19:41] belgianguy: I child on Tor, SCARY! [19:41] does anyone here have experience with Pithos? [19:42] naptime: ? [19:43] "as he or she might install another browser, or find out what a proxy is, or use Tor..." I thought the idea of a child finding out how to use Tor was unsettling. [19:43] belgianguy: Oops, forgot to prefix with your name there. [19:44] naptime: it's an app as any other, accessible from the software center [19:44] Tor is just a browser [19:45] what you do with it is up to the person using it [19:46] eg SilkRoad, darknet are bad apples, but people can also at least experience some real internet in countries where there is government set censorship [19:46] naptime: but I understand your worry, but do think Tor is not on top on any kid's list to break out of the browser lockdown [19:47] hankyd, Help here relies on your detailed description of the issue, including if this is a PPA version. [19:47] belgianguy: True. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing (the contrary, I'm glad it exists)... I just wouldn't let my kids use something like that. [19:47] naptime: and a regular browser? [19:48] There's plenty on the internet that isn't suited for them, that's why I think tools and extensions are only a small thing in the whole experience, but getting them to understand the dangers and pitfalls is the most important one IMO [19:48] belgianguy: A regular browser would be okay. But the Tor tutorials all seem to mention the Hidden Wiki, which last I checked, had links to drugs, cp, hitmen, bombs, etc right on the front page O_O === hankyd is now known as HankyD [19:49] naptime: since when does Tor require a tutorial?

[19:56] Amy_Lu_Who: feel free to msg me if you run into trouble (not in the main chat) [19:56] altin, I would just run the install manually and tell it to install in the partition there.

[20:38] that is correct sir [20:38] !notunity | Dr_Manhattan [20:38] Dr_Manhattan: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. === PiyushB is now known as yank [20:38] Dr_Manhattan What ever desktop is used last will be where it defaults to. [20:38] I will test that.

[20:40] All the resources on net are very old or obsolete.. [20:41] just a guess but what about making firefox its own user, then restricting that user from being able to look at the file system [20:42] hey all. I'm running an ubuntu dev server under virtual box on mac osx and the 'system settings' won't let me change basic things (like brightness and lock). Any pointers?

[22:49] the big HD* [22:49] every time a try to open libreoffice I get this error: http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1000/sUBeKK.png [22:49] bubbasaures: I don't need the windows partition. I plan on overwriting it [22:49] but the most strange is that the libreoffice is not installed and still there [22:50] retsej, You will still have a gpt partition table at the least, read that link carefully. [22:50] Ary_Mainart: is it just libreoffice stuff? or other programs too? [22:50] Ary_Mainart: its not only one package. dont mind the packages now please. concentrate on the issue to fix, which is the blurry window [22:51] Ok [22:51] Ary_Mainart: which video card?which driver used? where was the driver from? [22:51] for now its just an libreoffice stuf [22:52] the videcard is a onboard nvidia630a [22:52] retsej, This is not your mothers setup is all, however it is known. You want to be sure you understand is all, so anything you don't, don't assume. [22:53] the driver is Legacy Binaru Driver Version 304.123 de nvidia 304 open sourcer [22:54] Ary_Mainart, C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] ? [22:54] Yup [22:55] that one needs the 173 driver AFAIK [22:55] my video is onboard Asus m2n68 am plus [22:55] sorry. that was my MB [22:55] i would suggest to try the "nvidia-173" which is the legacy driver [22:56] k1l +1 [22:56] ah wait, you have 14.10 running? [22:56] there might be no 173 anymore [22:56] bubbasaures: Thanks. I'm doing some reading, I came on because I was trying to follow the instructions here: askubuntu.com/questions/234111/how-to-boot-ubuntu-from-ssd-drive-which-cannot-be-selected-as-boot-device [22:56] Hi! I have just set up a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (server x64) from scratch and when trying to run first `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` it raises the warning abot not being able to authenticate the packages. Is it OK? [22:56] k1l, yes, only for trusty :-( [22:57] bubbasaures: but I wasn't sure about some of the steps [22:57] Ary_Mainart: try to turn off the hardware acceleration of libreoffice: Preferences/LibreOffice/View/Use Hardware Acceleration [22:58] retsej, I think you keep mixing up the SSD 24 gigs HD with the 500 HD spinning. That computer should allow any HD as booting, I think your in the weeds there. ;) [22:59] Ary_Mainart: if that doesnt help try to set the video memory to a higher volume in the bios menue [22:59] sebo: Not normal; show, so we see in context -> pastebinit sudo apt-get update , pastebinit sudo apt-get upgrade <- . [23:00] i trying to change the driver [23:00] Ary_Mainart: no [23:00] but the video memory it is at max [23:01] it is not to me to change the driver??? [23:02] Hi all, SSD question: do i need to do anything to enable TRIM, Crucial M500 240GB SSD, Ubuntu 14.04LTS? Partition was encrypted at fresh install, LUKS (not sure if that makes any difference as far as TRIM) === don is now known as Guest16979 === clopez_ is now known as clopez [23:03] Ary_Mainart: 304 is the lowest driver 14.10 offers. make sure its vram is set to maximum in bios and try to turn off the hardware acceleration in libreoffice [23:04] Bashing-om: I have found out that the host is now not online. I have set up the WiFi network by the installation but this configuration was not saved. I need to set up it once again. Is there any quick way to do so from the shell (bash) terminal? [23:04] Ary_Mainart:install windows xp === ilk is now known as ilken [23:05] sebo: VM's are not in my experience, wait here for others to advise. [23:07] gtrplayer: it should be enabled automatically by a cron job in /etc/cron.weekly, so there is nothing you have to do. [23:08] Bashing-om: I am not talking about the VM = VirtualMachine. I have got a phisical host (laptop) with a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (server x64). I am setting the server system there cause it has the brocen screen and I would like to use it for training and some developement etc. [23:08] sounds good, thanks! [23:09] sebo: OK, on the server, do you have a wired internet connection ? [23:09] bubbasaures: Does this look kosher? http://imgur.com/pgStIkP [23:10] retsej, I have not done a uefi install so can't say with certainty is all. [23:11] Bashing-om: I do have the wired and wirless Network card... However it might not be so easy to get the wire from the router right now. [23:11] bubbasaures: If I get it wrong, I just do it again, no? [23:12] retsej, Problem I see is you have a gpt table still, and are putting grub in the mbr. Have you looked at the link about this, that looks like a msdos partitioning on top of a gpt table. [23:13] sebo: Best results, wired internet connection, then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install, THEN look and see if there are any additionl drivers (WIFI, Vedeo ) required. [23:13] retsej, Really you need other help. [23:14] bubbasaures: Np, thanks for trying [23:14] change the drivers and get a problem [23:15] must to boot with nomodeset parameter and gnome-classic [23:15] can anyone help me understand my mad partitioning problem :P [23:15] the problem persist [23:15] changing the driver back again [23:15] hey [23:16] Bashing-om: But it was connected through the WiFi at the installation time. I suspect this needs to be just configured once again. Am I wrong? [23:16] any solution for my case? [23:16] retsej: I am in the same boat as bubbasaures ; You are doing proper, await others here whi do have the UEFI experience. [23:18] i will reboot now. be back latter [23:18] sebo: Maybe, not wrong. Could be a config issue but I have very limited experience trouble shooting WIFI . [23:19] hi does seveas still come around here? [23:20] sambagirl: "sometimes". but for chitchat we have the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [23:21] Bashing-om: OK... I have managet to move the laptop up so that it is now next to the router and connected by Ethernet cable... anyway the network interface is still down. [23:21] the problem persist. anny other solution for my case [23:22] General question ignoring all attempts made yesterday... (Hi! Bashing-om , bubbasaures !) Is there an easy way to reinstall (with bootloader) onto an existing install, preserving data but essentially using the reinstall to repair broken/borked install? [23:22] Hi, Everybody! [23:23] sebo: OK, I can work with wired . Step 1, is the network card detected > -> sudo lshw -C network < - . [23:23] UncleJoe: if you have backups you can try the reinstall option on the installer [23:24] ok thanks k1l [23:25] k1l: THat would be too easy and therefore impossible since I don't have a backup that is usable - backup is on VMWare disk that is also borked. [23:26] i dont suppose i can get any support for wireless with hoary huh? [23:26] sambagirl: no. 5.04 is way way way out of support. [23:27] The problem I had so far was the issue with the disks on the installer- no root partition was defined or something similar? [23:27] I still have the cd;s though and it still works :). [23:27] sambagirl: Correct, who remembers back that far ? and hoary is long End-Of-Life, and no longer has support. [23:28] Just to remind... [23:28] Hi. I have Ubuntu instaled on my desktop. The OS came with LibreOffice, but it is presenting errors. I am trying to remove the packages to do a fresh instalation. But when I try to sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice, I get a message: libreoffice is not installed. But the app is there. Writer for example is normal and functional. How do I remove the software? [23:28] Every time a try to open libreoffice I get this error: http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1000/sUBeKK.png [23:28] For now its just an libreoffice stuf. [23:28] The videcard is a onboard nvidia630a [23:28] The driver is Legacy Binaru Driver Version 304.123 de nvidia 304 open sourcer [23:28] Ary_Mainart you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [23:28] sambagirl: Yeah, but no security fixes. lots of holes have been discovered, and many many improvements have been made to the operating system . [23:28] Ary_Mainart: dpkg -l | grep libre [23:29] Ary_Mainart: you can reinstall so often you want. that is not going to change [23:30] Ary_Mainart: if you car got a puncture you can drive it in and out of the garage the often you want to. its not going help. same with your libreoffice issue [23:30] UncleJoe: Even after "sleeping" on the issue, nothing new has occurred to me. [23:30] you are saying is not libreoffice problem. I belive in you. But the question is, how do I fix it [23:30] Bashing-om: It has detected my both cards: network:0 wlan0 & network:1 eth0 ... both are DISABLED [23:30] Bashing-om: :( [23:30] Ary_Mainart: reduce the screen setting? [23:31] I didn't sleep much at all- I think I need to sit back and do this when I'm more awake [23:31] Ary_Mainart: libreoffice with hardware acceleration support demands too much from your old video card. === UncleJoe is now known as UncleJoeAway [23:31] UncleJoe: boot a live usb, collect the important data and save it. reinstall, done. [23:32] k1l: It's ubuntu minimal 12.04 and the data is mydql db, webserver, etc. [23:32] sebo: Working with the eth0 interface, what is shown in the lshw output for a driver in the "configuration:oline ? Mine "configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=8139too " . [23:32] UncleJoeAway: that does not make my plan not work. [23:33] with the windows minimized i was able to open the writer and uncheck acceleration [23:33] lets see if it works [23:33] just a sec [23:33] k1l: It does if you're a n00b. I required help to even set this up a year ago... just every once in a while /svn up'd it... [23:34] same problem mate [23:34] hello [23:34] there is another software alternative [23:34] ? [23:34] I like to ask about ip multicasting [23:35] I like to pet my cat [23:35] Ary_Mainart: the problem with your first question is you said "it is presenting errors" which doesn't really give much detail [23:36] So, are there any new advisors/victims to help me with my partitioning? http://askubuntu.com/questions/234111/how-to-boot-ubuntu-from-ssd-drive-which-cannot-be-selected-as-boot-device [23:36] daftykins, I put a link with a print [23:36] Bashing-om: configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=8139too driverversion=0.9.28 duplex=full latency=64 link=no maxlatency=64 mingnt=32 multicast=yes port=MII speed=100Mbit/s [23:36] retsej: ubuntu 12.10 is dead, why are you installing that? [23:37] daftykins, http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1000/sUBeKK.png [23:37] ME EYES [23:39] Ary_Mainart: and it only looks like that when you run Calc? [23:39] retsej: so boot a live usb [23:39] retsej: your bios won't see the ssd no matter what? is it an external ssd? [23:39] daftykins, calc, writer and other libreoffice apps [23:39] sedoHumm, no IP .. so step 2 : ifconfig eth0 | pastebinit . To a pastie so we see in contect waht is . [23:39] that is a known issue with older nvidia cards and libre (or other java stuff?) [23:40] daftykins, if all windows is minimized i get the same error. [23:40] sebo: Humm, no IP .. so step 2 : ifconfig eth0 | pastebinit . To a pastie so we see in contect waht is . [23:40] Ary_Mainart: try to turn down the resolution [23:41] k1l, MAte, are you saying is a video memory problem? If was that i will buy a Video Card. [23:42] Ary_Mainart: yes it is [23:42] Ok mate [23:42] Thanks!!! [23:42] that is why i said to make sure it gets maximum video ram in bios [23:42] Ugh, silly unity keeps messing up if I click the desktop now [23:42] I have another issuie but i will google it first [23:43] thanks again [23:44] Why does the application name keep vanishing from the Unity menu this is so annoying.. http://i.imgur.com/b80tN3s.png === Shaun__ is now known as Shaun [23:45] I had a boyfriend named "Ubuntu" once.

[23:46] daftykins, it should say xchat where I have the arrow [23:46] daftykins, on the screenshot [23:46] but it's not full-screen? [23:46] no [23:46] I have global menus activated [23:47] Bashing-om: `ifconfig eth0` is same as on each not connected interface (like on the other pc which I am writing from and which is connected through wlan0) : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9081543/ [23:47] sebo: Looking at http://paste.ubuntu.com/9081543/ . [23:49] This is how it should look all the time when I have the window open... http://i.imgur.com/okPgQOY.png [23:49] Iḿ looking for help installing Ubuntu 14.04 from scratch, I cannot boot from USB stick using Ubuntu 12 [23:50] dormac: step 1 - put 14.04 on the USB flash drive [23:50] dormac, if your computer does not support booting from a usb you can use PLOP and it will help you [23:51] sebo: Not talking to your router, huh ? .. OK is your interface "static" or dhcp ? what is set -> cat /etc/network/interfaces <- ? [23:51] daftykins, did you get that last screenshot of how it should look all the time? This problem didn't happen until I started using conky [23:52] Bashing-om: it should be configured through dhcp. [23:52] l0rdn1x: yeah, still failing to see why you consider that such a problem [23:52] daftykins, sometimes I can't click the menus [23:52] 10rdn1x, how does PLOP run? do I install PLOP and reboot computer? [23:53] dormac, you burn PLOP to a CD boot from the CD then you insert your USB and it will boot the USB for you.. Let me get you the PLOP website. [23:53] sebo: Verify then that my http://paste.ubuntu.com/9081646/ is the same as yours, except you show eth0 where I am eth1 . [23:53] dormac, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html [23:54] 10rdn1x, thanks, appreciate it [23:54] dormac, yep np anytime ;) [23:54] Bashing-om: and the /etc/network/interfaces does not list neither eth0 nor wlan0 - there are just two lines there "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" [23:54] I just wish I could get Unity to quit messing up so I don't have to switch DE's. [23:55] Bashing-om: of course except some comments. [23:56] sebo: This is a server, yes? And you have no installed " Network Manager " ? [23:56] hi folks [23:57] I got t61 laptop and when I use linux on it eyes start to feel mad [23:57] daftykins, Do you know where in the Unity configuration there is code that recognizes a click to the desktop and I could perhaps disable that to prevent the issue? [23:57] similar to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861251 [23:57] I wonder whats the solution for it [23:58] I need someone who knows please refer to Turkish [23:58] Bashing-om: this is going to be 'a server' and i have a fresh ubuntu 14.04.1 with nothing except those packages which are preselected by the instalation system.
