[00:00] ubottu Thans [00:00] sebo: Then we set up '/etc/network/interfaces' ; are you comforable with a text editor ( I have to ask !) . [00:00] Bashing-om: I can use vim :) [00:01] bubbasaures: I bit the bullet got impatient [00:01] Bashing-om: ...at least some basic of vim ;p [00:01] Hey guys... can anyone help me out, I need to upgrade our open ssl version on our server but I'd only like to update that nothing else... is this possible? [00:01] bubbasaures: Turns out I'm better at this than I thought [00:01] sebo türkmusun lan .D [00:01] Webdevb: make it a apt-get install --reinstall [00:02] won't that reinstall everything... [00:02] sebo: Great, then make your '/etc/network/interfaces ' same as mine except where I have eth1, yours is eth0, for your interface . ( good practice to make sure there is a back up of any file one edits ) . [00:02] Webdevb: or sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade [00:02] Webdevb: sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade [00:02] so sudo apt-get install openssl --only-upgrade [00:03] Webdevb: no, openssl at the end [00:03] Webdevb: update it on one, take the package from /var/cache/apt/archives/ then manually install that on the rest [00:03] cool thanks Eric^^ do you have to restart after upgrading opensll [00:03] *openssl [00:04] Bashing-om: and where is yours? so I might take a look? [00:04] no idea, i don't think so [00:04] Webdevb: maybe just restart the services relating to it that your running [00:04] OK thanks EriC^^ [00:05] np [00:05] sebo: Mine: here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9081646/ . [00:05] Webdevb: fyi, updating openssl usually requires restarting many services. easiest to reboot system, but if you want you can install debian-goodies and use the checkrestart command. good luck. [00:05] Bashing-om: Ill have to rewrite it :) [00:06] zykotick9 thanks... a little nervous about doing all this kind of stuff. [00:06] sebo: Should only have to add the last 2 lines .(??) === ninegordon is now known as longneckbeard [00:06] Webdevb: rebooting system = sure fire method ;) [00:07] zykotick9 nervous about it all hahaha [00:07] Bashing-om: yep... but I had not seen it when I was writing that ;) [00:09] sebo: :) so long as ya get it all and it is formatted same same (eth0) in your use case . [00:12] nobady [00:13] Bashing-om: I've commited the change and brought the interface up `sudo ifup eth0` [00:13] Bashing-om: ...and now it pings with google :D [00:15] Bashing-om: And the warning about the packages is also gone :) [00:16] sebo: Good deal, do we have DNS resolution ? such that ping -c3 google.com has good return ? [00:17] hey, i am having a problem with 14.10 using gnome. in firefox (only firefox) ever 5 or 6 keypresses types a 'g' and then an 'r' . even if those arent the letter i was pressing. this does not happen in xchat, or console, only firefox. is this a common issue? i cant really search for it because of the problem. here is a sample of my firefox url bar: mary hadgrlittle grb its flgre was wgre as snog [00:17] that was mary had a little lamb :( [00:18] How do I remove a dead physical volume from a volume group? [00:19] Bashing-om: yep :) `ping google.pl` was the firs thing i have tried - thx. Anyway after the `apt-get upgrade` I'll have to set this so that it'll be brought up automatically. [00:20] Bashing-om: or is it better to get some kind of 'network manager' installed? [00:20] hmm [00:21] sems me monitor got bettah [00:21] tanks to intel drivers [00:21] now I kan use linux :) [00:21] So if I've got a tiny SSD holding /, but a large partition on another drive, how can I install large programs onto the other drive? [00:21] retsej: you'd have /usr on the other drive [00:23] Eric^^ right now it's labelled /data, I did a test run to make sure I got the installation right (I did) [00:23] retsej: copy whatever is in /usr to it [00:24] Eric^^: Then sym link? [00:24] retsej: then delete everything in /usr and modify your fstab to mount it on /usr [00:24] sebo: I expect it to wokie great as is, and last long time. [00:27] Bashing-om: I was just wondering if after the reboot the network interface might need to be brought up manualy (which I would not like to). Thx for your advises :) [00:28] sebo: Kernel should detect and bring up wired connection with no intercession on your part . [00:31] Bashing-om: so thanks :) ...Tomorrow I'll have to dig in with the wlan0 :] [00:32] sebo: Good luck. mine has been good, Always to this time WIFI just works out-of-the-box; thus I have had to gain no experience with WIFI .

[01:08] auscompgeek I don't have a clue [01:08] haha [01:08] Actually, I wish openssl was a service. [01:08] Could I check to see what services are using openssl? [01:08] and just restart those?

[01:53] WaterBottle: ^^ [01:53] Yeah, I've tried other Destop enviroments, the only issue is there are some nuances that unity takes care of [01:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [01:53] Like dragging a window to a side to maximzie/take up half the screen [01:53] Yo guys. I have two mounted drives, and I was doing a mass copy of files from one drive to another. [01:54] But I'm more than willing to try another DE [01:54] Hola [01:54] In the middle, I got a series of "cp: cannot create directory '[directory path on destination]': No such file or directory [01:54] A have to partitions, one windows, other with Ubuntu. I want to get rid of windows partition and just have the whole disk for Ubuntu. How can I rejoin the partitions? Do I have to format and reinstall? [01:54] nah man [01:55] Well of course there's no such file or directory -- it hasn't created it yet! Why would it have a problem doing this, though? [01:55] from linux you can format that nasty windows [01:55] WaterBottle, what improvements do you want to make on the appearance? [01:55] transform it to ext2 and use it [01:55] oh mount it in the fstab [01:55] I'm trying to get a more minimalist look. Almost like the newest flavor of OSX [01:55] dormac, You just remove and resize what is left. [01:56] dormac: you don't need to rejoin them [01:56] segodmiche, ext4 works? [01:56] sure [01:56] i live in the past [01:56] reiserfs for a more *killer* approach [01:57] WaterBottle, the most minimalist Ubuntu environment I ever used was Openbox with a black background. [01:58] No one has run into this before? [01:58] segodmiche bubbasaures tnx [01:58] If you want a panel (and most do), LXDE is pretty minimal looking. [01:58] Scrivener_: Odd. What were your args to cp? I prefer rsync -av --progress --partial anyway. [01:58] I don't know what OS/X looks like. [01:58] slitt: it doesn't get more minimalistic than DWM [01:58] Loshki, rp -R /source/dir /dest/dir [01:58] cp* -R [01:58] sudo cp -R, in fact [01:58] dormac whats a bubbasaures? [01:59] They are both HFS+ formatted filesystems, if that makes a difference, but they were mounted properly (as read-writable, as long as I'm root) [01:59] segodmiche, You said you were in the past, just not far enough. ;) [01:59] slitt, I like this look thank you [02:00] segodmiche, I came darn close to using dwm as my daily driver desktop. But it didn't have anything like Openbox's window list sorted by desktop, which I use conxstantly. [02:00] Loshki, trying with rsync now [02:00] Scrivener_: HFS+? Sorry, no experience with it. Still, rsync will avoid having to redo the whole copy [02:01] sorted by desktop..? [02:01] Scrivener_: use the -n (dry run) flag until you're sure you've got the args right. [02:01] firefox 33.0 keeps crashing... is this typical in 14.04? [02:01] segodmiche, yes, first desktop 1 with all its windows, then desktop 2 with all its windows, all the way to desktop 9. And you can move to one with a letter, then hit enter. [02:02] Loshki, is there anything that will cause damage if it doesn't go correctly? [02:02] I did not do a dry run in this case... [02:02] And it looks like it's sitting on a file. [02:02] yeah you can do that with DWM [02:03] it's built in [02:03] well you have to set the shortcuts in the source [02:03] segodmiche, I couldn't find it in dwm. How do you do it? Or, in the source code, what function? [02:03] Scrivener_: only that if the args aren't correct, you risk copying stuff twice & maybe not noticing. And of course, be extra careful whenever using the --delete flag. [02:04] hmm I wrote a tutorial about this, let me see if I can find it on the wayback machine, 1 sec. [02:04] Loshki, not deleting anything [02:04] Scrivener_: if you do it right, rsync will skip over the existing copies, and only copy the missing parts... [02:04] Thanks segodmiche , I looked all over dwm for that functionality. [02:04] Anyone have experience with setting up a Groupon type website? [02:05] Loshki, showing progress, it is not moving from a file. Been sitting showing the one file for a long time now :-/ [02:06] hi [02:06] Scrivener_: list the destination file in a separate terminal. Is it growing? [02:06] i need help with installing teamspeak on my ubuntu machine [02:07] hi. I wouldlike to see what's in my initrd img. But it is not compressed with gzip. and I can't decompress it. cpio -i gives only a 26k file while the initrs is 28Mb [02:08] for the life of me i cant get jackd to start on 14.04. Can someone please help me? [02:09] solsTiCe: plenty of stuff on google I would think e.g. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-initrd [02:09] it does not work [02:09] Loshki, strangely, while I can navigate to the directory in nautilus (running with gksu nautilus), as root when I ll in the destination directory I see nothing [02:09] In nautilus I do see files though... [02:09] as I said mine is not gzip compressed. why ? [02:09] A user trying help me to tuning my keyborad layout, told me to do this @setxkbmap -option compose:ralt , then as i found another solution that work, i wish to put thing as in original state. User told me to change RALT to LALT in the file as i did. This is enought ? [02:10] Loshki, nevermind, hang on [02:11] can someone point me to where I can find accurate information on how to rub jackd on 14.04? [02:11] I never seen the difference between changes at all, anyway. [02:11] Loshki, no, size is remaining the same [02:11] It's just not doing anything [02:12] solsTiCe: dunno, don't more recent versions use initramfs instead http://askubuntu.com/questions/299690/the-relationship-between-initrd-and-squashfs [02:12] what ubuntu should i d/l for a desktop ? [02:12] Loshki, the size of the destination directory is not changing either [02:12] It's not copying new files and just not outputting it [02:13] Scrivener_: that usually means rsync is having trouble reading the source file. Can you cat the file? [02:14] solsTiCe: you can see what's going in the initramfs by passing the -v flag to update-initramfs while it's being built. Beyond that I have successfully extracted the contents to a directory [02:14] hopsin: A lot depends on your hardware, takes some horsepower to run the top-of-the-line editions . [02:14] It depends sometimes it is using xz [02:15] Bashing-om, just a crappy single core pc [02:15] can someone help me with running jackd on 14.04 please? [02:15] I'm at a dead end [02:15] Loshki, I can cat the file [02:16] hopsin: I have successfully installed Lubuntu to many single core machines . Good place to start any way. [02:16] I think I know what might be causing this problem though [02:16] Scrivener_: if you're not seeing actual disk errors reported from rsync, it usually means it's in disk wait? [02:16] In order to cat the file, I had to surround it in quotes [02:16] Bashing-om, what about a dual core ? [02:16] hi channel. i have a question about using different window themes in ubuntu 14.04. currently i am using this one i think its ambiance or the other dark one. it is very stable and i like that. but i want one with bigger window clickable options, like a bigger 'x' for closing etc, and different color options. and ideas on the best stable choices? i know there are a lot of options, i am looking for the ones some people here know as the least bugg [02:16] y. [02:16] If I try to cat it according to how it shows up in ls, it treats each piece of the file (space-separated filename..) as its own file [02:16] And says they don't exist [02:17] I feel like I should just be able to drag and drop >.< [02:17] What it is the difference bewteen have RALT or LALT About this @setxkbmap -option compose:ralt [02:17] But apparently not :( [02:17] Scrivener_: the\ alternative\ is\ to\ escape\ like\ this [02:18] Hey i am trying to connect to a server then open up an active log, ssh -i /Users/J/Documents/SSH/mysshkey.pem ubuntu@23.23.43.23 colortail -f /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log [02:18] zykotick9, of course... but I don't know why it would not do this by default [02:18] And how am I expected to do that manually for 300+ GB of files? [02:18] I know it got to do with this but i can t find the meaning of th word LALT here https://gist.github.com/Spoygg/3122226 [02:18] When i do this all i see is ==> /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log <== with no log info [02:20] anjo-aladiah, have you thought about 'laugh alt loud' ? === bkuberek_ is now known as bkuberek [02:21] Loshki, I just went manually in with nautilus this time, found the exact file it was stuck on, tried to drag and drop it to the destination (which I also have open in nautilus) [02:21] And it gives the same error. [02:21] No such file or directory, as though the thing I am dragging doesn't exist [02:21] Even though I can clearly access it. [02:23] anjo-aladiah, LALT = Left ALT key. RALT = Right ALT key [02:24] ObrienDave: Thanks. So tha mean i should put RALT there, because my ALT right key is on the RIGHT ? [02:24] hopsin: I run ubuntu just fine on a dual core althlon set up .

[02:27] Mine too. but Alt GR m the right one is on the right side [02:27] hopsin: If you are new, just go with the desktop one. [02:27] If i put LALT there with the prior command i mentioned a while ago it will be on contrary function ? [02:27] ObrienDave: [02:28] anjo-aladiah, i don't know [02:28] RALT is the original config ?

[02:35] each time i type it doesnt do commands just is another line of > [02:35] the monitor* [02:35] Anyone have any ideas? [02:35] Hello, i have a bit of an issue. I've been gaming using wine... But I'm having a huge problem with keybindings in Xubuntu. THere are so many random keys that launch shit that I am constantly launching shit while middle of a game. Any way I can either disable them when i'm in fullscreen game or altogether? [02:37] chad: try key combo ctl+c to get out of command mode. [02:37] HerroWor_: I _think_ that colortail just uses regex to get blocks of text, then probably adds ANSI escapes to add color. So it interprets the stream of text, and prolly sends it to your console via something like `echo -en "\033[32GREENTEXT!"` [02:38] Bashing-om, its not free ? [02:38] agent_white, odd i tried to replace colortrail with echo hello [02:39] lol nevermind [02:39] and it does not display anything [02:40] HerroWor_: What is the full command you entered? [02:40] hopsin: Yes it is free, ubuntu has always been free and we have the promise it always will be free, IF you desire to assist the effort with financial aid, you may do so, [02:40] ssh -i path/to/key.pem user@ip -t 'echo hello' [02:40] Since I updated to 14.04, I've had some complaints from others when using Skype that the connection will suddenly get very loud on their end. I use a headset and I can solve this problem temporarily by unplugging and plugging them back in again. I've noticed in the Sound Settings-->Input that the computer has blips where it suddenly no longer detects my headset and defaults back to the... [02:40] ...computer microphone/speakers. I don't know if these two are related, but has anyone else experienced this problem and have an idea what to do about it? [02:40] i get bash: ‘echo: command not found [02:40] HerroWor_: Then you just echo'ed "hello" to the remote console. [02:41] icic [02:41] Bashing-om, if it works out no problem [02:41] HerroWor_: Anything you pass to "-t" is run on the remote machine. [02:41] Hi all, I need to hang up now because I'm going to install PCBSD 10.1 64 bit on this machine now.

[04:18] I need help [04:18] nginx is not executing php scripts [04:18] instead it lets me download them [04:18] jbud: thats possible yes [04:18] I was having problems with 13.10, and 14.04 and 14.10 before that [04:18] I think it was you who took a look at my syslog and identified that I needed to upgrade my BIOS driver [04:19] Thanks for the tip, I did that and installed 14.04 about a week ago, and haven't had any problems since then [04:19] jbud: yes, at wich part are you stuck now? [04:19] No, I just wanted to come on here and thank you [04:19] jbud: thats friendly mate :p [04:19] Been trying to keep my eye out for you, cause I forgot to write down your name [04:20] I really would have had no idea to update my bios driver [04:20] Foxhoundz: don't you need to setup some kind of php thing to work with nginx? [04:20] jbud: any other packages you looking for? [04:20] here ya go FoxHoundz: http://serverfault.com/questions/322018/nginx-not-executing-php-files [04:21] is there a log thats just errors? [04:21] Haha no, I mean nouveau seemed a little slow for some reason, but the nvidia blobs are working fine enough anyways [04:21] ej: dmesg [04:21] ty! [04:21] !yay | jbud [04:21] jbud: Glad you made it! :-) [04:22] Loll [04:22] Foxhoundz: like maybe php-fpm? [04:22] Thanks again lotuspsychje :) [04:23] ohh wow..these r all errors? [04:23] ej: well, not all things are critical, but working points [04:24] ok.. [04:24] ej: check /var/log/syslog aswell [04:24] k! [04:24] ej: best way is to start from your actual problems, then findout more in logs [04:25] just the mouse lagging..every thing else works!! [04:25] Foxhoundz: You may have forgot to setup the php part in default config. Check out https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 [04:25] ej: ubuntu version? [04:26] 14.4 [04:26] with gnome throw back [04:26] Foxhoundz: the part your looking for starts with location ~ \.php$ { [04:26] ej: and grafix card+ driver? [04:26] ej: gnome fallback? [04:26] yup..intel [04:26] ej: you dont like unity? [04:27] 14.4 was to much [04:27] Foxhoundz: your config should look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9086524/ [04:27] i cant explain!! [04:27] ej: if mouse pointer lags, might be grafix lagging on you [04:28] ej, is there a way to refresh the usb contacts? like unplug the stuff, run a single legacy mouse and keybard and reset through some settings? or i would look into any ppa's i installed that were connected to and might have outdated packages connected to any periferals [04:28] ok!! [04:28] ej: maybe try xubuntu or lubuntu to test [04:28] ej: see if your system runs any smoother on it [04:28] i think i just wnat to get into virtual os's and like just have fun with it [04:28] thanks linux [04:29] u mean dl xubuntu? [04:29] geoffmcc: is that the default config under sites-enabled or sites-available [04:29] ej: you can test it from your existing install: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:29] i just went through a day worth of configuring with 14.4!! [04:29] ok..ok.. [04:30] ej:well if desktop 14.04 with unity lags on you, best test out other things [04:30] yeah ej if you keep at it, you learn a lot more faster [04:31] it really might be that your network doesnt allow proprietary interference [04:31] or your hardware might have issues [04:31] not that its broken [04:31] Foxhoundz: sites-enabled is just a symlink of sites available, so make your changes in sites available [04:31] ej: did you install ubuntu with internet enabled? [04:31] ?? [04:31] ej: cable on and updates during install? [04:32] Foxhoundz: this is what i followed to setup on my raspberry pi, its a little different than what the one i just posted for ubuntu states -- http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/web-server/nginx.md [04:32] yes! [04:32] ej, probably a dumb q, but did you set your mouse acceleration higher? [04:32] did you install tweak tools or compiz config manager? and not getthem balanced yet?

If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

[09:36] the touchfoil to work [09:36] is touchd a daemon or a command ? [09:36] touchfoil is thing glass thing that works like a touchscreen [09:36] I dunno what it is [09:36] I suspect it's a daemon [09:36] yer [09:36] when i run it [09:36] it says [09:36] BA_Baracus: if you do "ps -ef | grep touchd" [09:36] "TS Device is connected!"

[09:45] BA_Baracus: well no [09:46] BA_Baracus: I've never used it so I don't know how it works, [09:46] BA_Baracus: however check how to actually setup/configure it [09:46] the instructions we got given [09:46] BA_Baracus: (maybe nothing maybe loads of work) [09:46] were just to run the installer [09:46] then run controller_v1.0.1 [09:46] which i have [09:46] BA_Baracus: what happens when you run controller ?

[09:48] what's your test [09:48] touching the foil [09:48] it should work like a touchscreen [09:48] u touch it it moves cursor and clicks etc [09:48] * BA_Baracus http://imgur.com/caKTQ0w [09:48] ok, more details on my wifi problem.

[09:49] does [09:49] it loads the screen to calibrate [09:49] (youre supposed to touch points) [09:49] I assume calibrate depends on touching [09:49] does that work ?

[09:58] thought it did if u were on desktop [09:58] no [09:58] ok [09:59] hello folks [09:59] so in the one where you run it as "sudo" from the command line, from the correct directory, does the calibrate work ? === ryo is now known as Guest35768 [09:59] hey white// [09:59] no still same [09:59] I've got a bit of a network related problem [09:59] BA_Baracus: ok, so I suggest you feed this back to the support email - as clearly as you can [10:00] ok man [10:00] BA_Baracus: make sure you explain the diffference in clicking/sudo [10:00] thanks very much for your help! [10:00] really appreciate this! [10:00] Hello all...i want to monitor how much bandwidth each computer in my network consumes..also is there a way i can limit or distribute the bandwidth among the users of my network? [10:01] you could arpspoof all the clients on your subnet [10:02] kotel: ifconfig will tell you how much they consumed, maybe run a script that makes the connection go down once a limit is reached [10:03] how do i reate a bootable usb in kubuntu [10:03] anyone here ever heard of a problem transmitting everything after the fourth line with netcat? [10:03] i'm sure there's a better way though [10:03] unetbootin should work for you [10:03] @EjTheory [10:04] thanks white [10:04] getk didnt reconize! [10:05] @kotel arpspoof the whole subnet with either the arpspoof command or a tool like ettercap. You could then monitor the traffic going through your computer with wireshark and simply filter out all other packets than those going to and from a specific ip on the subnet, and repeat the process for other computers [10:06] @kotel if you want an easier way, you should google for a tool that can do what you want, or write a program doing just that [10:07] i will take a look later...checking tcptrack and iftop atm [10:07] Is there an Android App for Remote KB Mouse for using with Ubunut 14.04? [10:07] thanks for your answers [10:07] have a nice day everybody [10:07] :) [10:08] A1Recon, ? see the google play / android store [10:08] I'm behind a proxy that blocks pretty much any traffic that it doesn't like (it seems). Ports like ssh and default ports for pptp are blocked, but most ports are still open (outgoing of course). The problem here is that I'm having a problem simply transmitting more than four lines containing just a single word each line, with netcat. [10:10] The first four lines are transmitted (with netcat, from my computer behind the proxy, to my computer at home, with a port forwarded for sending the traffic (port 750, not in use by anything else on the network)) correctly, but anything after that is simply not received on the server side. (Those long parentheses though) [10:10] If anyone would be willing to help, I'd be happy to try whatever you figure might work [10:10] If not I'll probably post a question in ask ubuntu or something like it [10:12] Whitehooder: so do you have something listening at the end point? do you send tcp or udp packets? [10:13] I have got an ssh connection (web based, since everything's blocked) with a listening netcat session [10:13] (nc -l 750) [10:13] but I've got some news, I managed to transmit more than four lines by echoing [10:13] like this: echo -e "test\nagain\nyay\nney\nnot transmitted" | nc 750 [10:13] and every line is displayed correctly [10:14] and the connection closed [10:14] Whitehooder: ok all sounds good then [10:14] So you want to bypass a company/school proxy :-D [10:14] but when doing just the same with (nc 750) [10:14] and typing in the exact same things (pressing enter for every /n character) [10:14] only four lines are transmitted [10:15] OerHeks: well, haha, yeah I do. I've already managed to transmit quite a lot (using obfsproxy and a socks proxy), but these have the same kind of problem [10:16] only 647 bytes of every website is loaded for instance [10:16] it's a bit odd, and it doesn't happen without the proxy [10:16] so I'm basically trying to figure out how this thing works [10:16] thanks for responding at least sacarlson1 and OerHeks [10:16] :) [10:19] Whitehooder: maybe try nc -l -k [10:19] hmm [10:20] still not transmitting (at least not receiving on the server side) more than those four lines [10:20] Whitehooder: or change -q 20 ; to time out in longer time [10:20] I tried spamming a couple thousand lines with echo -e "test\n" *1000 piped to nc [10:20] and it sends everything just fine [10:21] Whitehooder: maybe nc -o option? [10:21] Whitehooder: and are you using wireshark to see if you are getting ack from the transmited packets on the transmit side [10:21] nevermind [10:21] tried -q 20 too, but I don't think timeout is the issue [10:21] how can I run a program in terminal? [10:22] when i open it from terminal it works fine [10:22] but i want to double click it [10:22] tried uppercase O (in case that was what you meant) and specified 700 bytes [10:22] still doesn't receive more than the fourth line [10:22] Whitehooder: I think it will attempt to send 1 or a few packets but will stop if no ack return is seen [10:23] it's a bit odd [10:23] it does work locally [10:23] (having a nc listen and one transmitting in a screen session) [10:23] sacarlson1: is this the server or client you're speaking of? [10:24] so if the client (the one I'm typing the messages with) doesn't recieve any ack returns, it will stop transmitting, but still keep the netcat session running? [10:24] Whitehooder: wireshark on the server transmit side to listen for ack packets were the recieve side tells you yes I got it [10:25] do you have a one-liner for wireshark in console by any chance? :) [10:26] AlexPortable: you should be able to double click a file that has execute privs and it should pop up asking if you want to run it in a term. or maybe that's only my filemanger ? [10:26] nope [10:26] it only opens text editor [10:26] and does nothing in start menu [10:26] Whitehooder: wireshark is a gui app, you can run filters after you record if needed [10:27] AlexPortable: What is the problem? I might have missed it. :P [10:27] I want to open a program [10:27] AlexPortable: is it set privs to execute? [10:27] but when i doubleclick it it does nothing [10:27] but when i execute it with terminal it shows output in the terminal [10:27] AlexPortable, more info please, what program? [10:27] i want whne i double click it that it opens the terminal [10:28] sacarlson1: Well, I've only used it with the GUI before, hence the question. My remote computer is a headless server, and I'm connecting through a webbased ssh client, so I cannot forward X11 [10:29] AlexPortable: What program is this? Does the file have an extension etc.? [10:29] nope [10:29] it's a custom program [10:29] in terminal it works fine [10:29] oh [10:29] didn't read the last ones [10:29] nvm [10:29] Whitehooder: oh ok and the server side in this case it the transmit in the nc? then I guess you would need to run tcpdump [10:30] AlexPortable: Hmm, a bit odd. And tab autocomplete works in terminal too? [10:30] Whitehooder: or what's the cool wireshark version of tcpdump I forget never used it [10:30] sacarlson1: The server is the one listening. I could try to reverse it, see if the proxy is blocking something incoming [10:31] Whitehooder: well it the client side then you wan't to be looking at as it in my guess is the one failing to get the ack packets [10:32] sacarlson1: Oh well, in that case it's easy. I've got Xorg running here ;) Give me a second. I'll see if I recieve any ACK packets [10:32] unable to run program with following error: Unrecognized option: - [10:32] Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. [10:32] Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. [10:32] Whitehooder: it's also posible that the ack packet are being filtered on the server side but until you know that your really not seeing ack packets then.... [10:33] AlexPortable: When you type half the programs filename in the terminal, and press tab, does it pop up by itself? That would mean it's marked as executable, and not just run by the terminal. It would also be helpful if you could provide the command you use to run the program. [10:33] ubuntuser13: You're missing java [10:34] whitehooder: i installed java 7 runtime. [10:34] ubuntuser13: Oh. Could you try to run "java -version" in a terminal and paste the output here? [10:35] ubuntuser13: Also, it says "Unrecognized option: -".

How are you running yours? [10:37] ubuntuser13: You don't have to, but it might be helpful if you mention what program it is that you're trying to run. [10:37] Whitehooder: i installed a software called isearchgurbani. program installed correctly by i am unable to run it from desktop icon as well as from Terminal with this error. [10:39] ubuntuser13: Hmm. Could you try to cat out the contents of the shortcut (.desktop) file? Like this "cat " [10:39] and paste it here [10:39] ubuntuser13: where is what you tried to run from terminal [10:40] Whitehooder: /bin/sh "/home/monu/isg/1sg2" [10:40] ubuntuser13: Also, if it was a jar file, and you executed it with "java -jar " you don't have to post all the output from the cat command here. It would be a little too much unreadable text. === sins-_x is now known as sins- [10:41] ubuntuser13: Oh, so it tries to run another script.

When i execute a program from terminal, sometimes i can't use the terminal anymore, because the program i opened puts some information in there as long as it runs, but for other programs the terminal is still usabel. My question basically is, how can i execute any program and still use the same terminal window after that?

This is an OVH kimisufi box, and they purport to come with ipv6. It's only stopped working a couple of weeks ago [11:28] Is there a way to make those addresses resolve to ipv4, so I can rule that out? [11:29] Rory: Unless you *need* ipv6 for something, it's probably faster to just disable that first and try [11:29] I don't need ipv6 at all. I do need security updates :3 [11:30] javnut: okay thanks, i was hoping to appending some command would stop that program using terminal for information output [11:32] OK disabling ipv6 in sysctl.conf is enough to get apt-get working, and I only use ipv4 in real life, so this is good enough for me. [11:32] thats not really a solution though [11:32] Ben64: @me ? [11:33] indeed [11:33] It totally is a solution. [11:33] its just allowing something to remain broken by disabling part of the network stack [11:33] I don't need ipv6 [11:34] everyone needs ipv6, ipv4 is on the way out [11:34] I'm getting security updates now, and I still have all the functionality I need. rory.sh resolves to IPv4 anyway and I don't have any sort of records pointing to an ipv6 address [11:35] Istalantar, most terminals permit you to add an additional tab [11:37] cfhowlett: okay ... but, i wasn't talking about tabs === tcpman is now known as Guest79388 [11:47] Istalantar, use " command & " or "nohup & " [11:54] Hello.

[12:16] tarkus: vnc over ssh [12:17] starbuck: probably not [12:17] i would not recommend starting teamviewer from boot/root. [12:17] Ben64, does it work fast enough in comparison to alternatives? [12:17] tarkus: depends on your internet, but sure [12:17] last time i checked vnc worked very slowly.. [12:18] OerHeks: do you have experience doing so?

There is windows on the ssd too. [13:25] nabblet: GRUB goes to /dev/sda, but make sure you're booted and installing in EFI mode [13:25] !efi | nabblet Check here to be certain [13:25] nabblet Check here to be certain: 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 [13:26] Hi to all [13:27] hi [13:28] anyone know of an ftp server that doesnt use the underlying system for accounts? [13:28] i need to integrate it with a service [13:28] so ideally one that read a config file of username, hashed password, chroot dir would be perfect [13:28] then i could just generate it every so often and drop it down [13:28] hey [13:29] martinald: any ftp server should do that, but ftp isn't very great to start with [13:29] ftp/sftp [13:29] whatever :) [13:30] sftp uses ssh, so that is going to use the existing users [13:30] ftp-tls? [13:30] who cares [13:30] most well done (s)ftp servers use the accounts on your system [13:30] could chroot be an option? [13:30] yeah, i definitely don't want to do that [13:30] daftykins: i read the link already but thanks for the pointer! So as I understand it the EFI partition will be used because it is mounted as /boot/efi. correct? [13:30] i have probably 45,000 accounts to manage [13:30] nabblet: yep that's the way [13:30] sounds horrible [13:31] haha [13:31] not really === cynical is now known as XChat [13:31] i did a fresh install of xubuntu trusty tahr and with flash drive(unetboot).I was not given the option to form partitions.Now how can i use Gparted.??Can Gparted in my case requires Live version?? [13:31] considering FTP for that application is definitely horrible :) [13:32] haha [13:32] that's true too [13:32] its a legacy system [13:32] could you explain in a little more detail what the purpose of your FTP server would be? [13:32] maybe there are better solutions (most likely) [13:32] people login and download xml diffs. there's hundreds of applications that are builkt around using ftp for this [13:33] can anyone help me?? [13:33] super you can live boot the USB, run gparted and partition but .. now that it's installed ..what's the point? [13:33] i posted above.. [13:33] the other option is to write an ftp server that sits on top of our services but that seems like reinventing the wheel [13:33] super, yes, gparted can be put on a cd or usb just like any other OS [13:33] cfhowlett, he forgot to partition the drive 7 [13:34] cfhowlett :Iwas not given the option [13:34] super: after installing your system, partitions have been created by the installer. If there's any customization you would like to do with your root partition, I suggest using GParted from a live CD [13:34] to partition [13:34] Whitehooder :Its of 210 MB. [13:35] Any other option [13:35] super yeah, I found out the hard way; unetbootin and ubuntustartupdiskcreator do not result in the same boot USB [13:35] super: the installer does give you the option [13:35] martinald: I'll look into it. Reporting back here if I find any good solutions, but a web based solution would be better IMO if what you said above is all you'll need. [13:35] we have a web based service Whitehooder [13:35] this is for legacy applications that don't use the rest api [13:35] super: So you've got too small of a partition and want to increase it? Boot up the live CD and expand it with GParted [13:35] Ben64 : no,it didnt [13:36] Whitehooder :I have single partition of 1 TB [13:36] martinald: Do you have a web based solution that does exactly that? [13:36] yes, we have a REST API [13:37] Whitehooder :Only the option of Gparted..i dont have dat type of net connection [13:37] super: Well, it does, but it's named "Something else". You probably overlooked it. [13:37] super: the ubuntu installer always gives the option to partition, you may have skipped it, but it does [13:37] Whitehooder, pureftpd does it [13:37] http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/README.Virtual-Users [13:37] super, it's easier to set up the partitions with gparted before try to install, then when you do install just use the manual partition optionand set the mountpoints then install [13:37] Virtual users is a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their [13:37] password, name, uid, directory, etc. It's just like /etc/passwd. But it's [13:37] not /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP. [13:37] It means that you can easily create FTP-only accounts without messing up [13:37] your system accounts. [13:37] martinald 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 [13:38] martinald: try typing more on each line ;) [13:38] martinald: Oh, great :) Problem solved then? [13:38] or just not pasting readme's in here [13:38] whoops. that was meant to be one line :D. [13:38] sry [13:39] Can I use the live USB which has Xubuntu on it?? [13:39] Boot from it?? [13:39] and do the partition [13:40] YES [13:40] yes* sorry caps [13:40] super: That's what a couple of guys have stated already, but sure, yeah, go ahead. [13:41] Ben64 :but it says gparted already installed..and 1 primary partion in use..it says [13:41] super: wait, can you explain exactly what you're trying to do [13:41] conky font blurred and stopped refreshing why? [13:41] how can i show you the image.. [13:42] super: take a screenshot, upload to imgur.com [13:42] ok [13:42] super: The thing is, that if you want to resize the partition your system is installed on (your root partition), the system cannot be running in the mean time. You have to shutdown and boot from a live CD to change anything on that particular partition [13:43] well, not to read/write files to it, but you get the point [13:43] Whitehooder :yeah i did boot from Flash drive(try option).Open gparted.It again pointed about primary partition inuse [13:44] super: Oh. Try to right click it and click on "unmount" [13:45] Whitehooder :I unmounted the drive icon of desktop.Then also [13:45] super: Also, make sure you are on the correct disk (e.g not the flash drive). You can see what disk you're on in the upper right corner of GParted [13:45] Whitehooder : i am just uploading the screenshot [13:47] what language do i need to know to be able to change things in the top panel bar? things like making custom indicator [13:48] bash, i guess.

[13:49] azizLIGHT, wouldn't touch it myself, but I do believe ubuntu tweak can do that kind of stuff [13:50] I think you can code it in any language like C, C++ or Python [13:50] Whitehooder, true. it call compiles down to a .bin anyway [13:50] oh i see [13:50] yeah. Learn C and Bash. [13:50] i know some bash [13:50] but its for shell stuff not whatever indicators do [13:51] http://imgur.com/7Y8sG3q [13:51] Whitehooder :http://imgur.com/7Y8sG3q [13:51] I think you can find some useful info here [13:51] https://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/appindicators/ [13:51] Ben64 : http://imgur.com/7Y8sG3q [13:51] thanks [13:52] hello, how can I control manual the fanspeed of a HP notebook?

Some BIOS allow 'tuning' there. [13:54] Whitehooder :In live xubuntu mode?? [13:54] super: Oh, are you on your system or the live CD/USB in this screenshot? [13:55] Whitehooder :presently on system [13:55] Template::Plugin::HtmlToText cant install on ubuntu 14 . Any pointers ? [13:55] super: You should boot up in live mode, yes. Then try unmounting any partition with sudo umount -f [13:55] Whitehooder :Ok,any suggestion after that [13:56] well, after that you should be able to resize/repartition them [13:56] minimec: 2 options, fan always on or off [13:56] Whitehooder :Ok,thanx..doing it === nb_ is now known as Guest30950 [13:57] super: But keep in mind, your system partition is on an extended partition, which means it's not possible to make another primary partition (without copying the data and recreating the partition as a primary partition) [13:57] Template::Plugin::HtmlToText cant install on ubuntu 14 . Any pointers ? [13:58] littleboss: it probably gives you some error and you should refer to that error to know what's preventing the install/build [13:58] streulma: Well both of them are probably not as usefull for you. My BIOS would allow me to set some temp 'target'. The FAn would then try to reach that target and adapt its speed accordingly. [13:59] Whitehooder :I have no data in the HDD.How to partition the extended mode [13:59] teward: have done the install by hand but when i refer to it its not existing [13:59] .xchat2/budus.so [13:59] super: Are you sure you've got no data on it? That would mean you could not start the system. [14:00] streulma: Ok. So one solution for you would go in this direction... http://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed [14:00] super: And since you've stated that you actually have booted it, I think you've got at least some data on it. [14:00] super: However, a fresh install would be a better option than resizing, as resizing can take a very long time. [14:01] teward: the install apt-get install libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl [14:01] Whitehooder :Thanks iw ill go for fresh install.Any other option than usbnetboot?? [14:01] super: If I were you, I would boot up the live CD/USB again and select install. When you are prompted about "Installing alongside" or "Erase xxxx and install Xubuntu", select the option furthest down on the list, that says "Something else" [14:01] super: You will be able to manually create partitions from there [14:01] teward: the error apt-get install libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl [14:02] Whitehooder :really thanx..i think i can pull that [14:02] super: Usbnetboot?

The solutions presented in askbuntu.com weren't helpful for me. === apsey is now known as vuash [14:08] martapy: optimus? [14:09] @daftykins what's optimus? [14:10] daftykins: what's optimus? [14:10] hi all. Today i realized (after last system's upgrade) that every time i plug in my encrypted usb stick the system asks not only for the encryption's password but it asks also (twice) for root privileges password and the same asks when the usb stick is being ejected. see here: http://postimg.org/gallery/34ne880wa/575d7a67/ Any idea why does this happen and is any way to overpass this procedure and return to the previous one (only encryption's p [14:10] assword)? [14:11] daftykins: I have nvidia prime and I set it to use the intel driver instead of the nvidia driver [14:12] martapy: yeah, so you're using an nvidia optimus setup. laptops with hybrid intel + nvidia [14:12] martapy: so tearing when using the nvidia, or? [14:13] yes. screen tearing when using the nvidia. but no screen tearing when using intel driver [14:13] daftykins: yes. screen tearing when using the nvidia. but no screen tearing when using intel driver [14:13] martapy: try out bumblebee instead [14:14] I'm having trouble with Spanish character configuration. === prosper is now known as Guest27368 [14:15] daftykins: I tried that one, it didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong, but it broke the display for me. [14:15] martapy: yeah you probably did something wrong in the setup stages. that's the only way i've read to avoid the nvidia tearing so far, or enable vsync if you can. [14:16] daftykins: that's another thing I can't find out how to do. How exactly do I enable vsync? I can't seem to find it in the ccsm. I'm using ubuntu 14.04 by the way. [14:16] ccsm has nothing to do with vsync setting i'm pretty sure [14:17] oh. [14:17] how do i enable it then? [14:19] Greetings. I'm looking for help to configure the spanish character configuration. [14:19] In some programs like Thunderbird I cannot type á, but instead I can only do ´a. [14:19] Would this be the right place to get help, or does someone know of a more specialized chat room? [14:19] Thanks in advance. [14:20] diego__, actually #ubuntu-es might know as they speak Spanish ... [14:20] Thank you. [14:20] diego__, happy2help [14:21] daftykins: there's a 'sync to vblank' option in ccsm. is that the same thing as vsync? [14:22] martapy: well, when the nvidia's in use that'd typically be for full screen programs - depends where you're seeing tearing [14:23] The tearing is mostly noticeable when using firefox and the terminal [14:23] daftykins: The tearing is mostly noticeable when using firefox and the terminal [14:24] martapy: doesn't make any sense to me to affect the desktop [14:25] just installed utopic, rebooted, I get the desktop background, but no mouse or menu bar (or whatever its called). I ssh in, run top, see cpu: 60% xorg, 40% migration/0, 40% migration/1 (load 2.2). What is migration/0 ? [14:25] daftykins: it really does. it's so annoying especially when i'm using firefox. I'm just using the intel driver right now and don't have problems with it. I'm not a big gamer anyway, so I don't think I'm missing out much by not using the nvidia driver. [14:25] CarlFK: test the guest session [14:26] daftykins: is that what migration does, or is that what you think I should do? [14:26] martapy: thing is, i don't think optimus works in the way that the entire desktop can be switched to being rendered on the nvidia instead of the intel [14:26] CarlFK: i'm saying try it :) [14:27] daftykins: um.. how will that tell me what migration is? [14:27] CarlFK: you seemed to be saying your desktop isn't coming up properly. i'm not answering your latter question [14:28] daftykins: i have no idea why it happens too. I'm fairly new to linux and ubuntu. I don't want to mess around with it too much yet. === goeo_ is now known as Maybegoeo_ [14:43] hi, on my old laptop (lenovo ideapad s12) i could copy & paste with pressing left and right mouse button simultaneously.

[14:51] MrPunch: just ask, and people will see if they can help [14:51] MrPunch: hopefully :) But you have to ask your question ;) [14:51] ok [14:51] Quick question, is anyone still having issues with Compiz on UB 14.04 [14:52] i've a vps, my users accessing root files and uploading files for exploits in their ssh login. [14:52] Harper42: what issues?. generally it works [14:52] how can i restrict user so they wont be able to upload any file to their ssh [14:53] and wont be even able to browse root directories === adante_ is now known as adante [14:53] There was a bug within Compiz that would cause excessive cpu usage. === `65whatt is now known as e-coffee [14:54] Harper42: can you link that bug?

[14:55] dorkusmaximus: yes. [14:55] how can i restrict user so they wont be able to upload any file to their ssh and wont be even able to browse root directories [14:55] I will try to find the link to the ticket and post it. [14:55] dorkusmaximus: but if you know it will be short on ram maybe try the lubuntu version, which is made for low and old hardware [14:55] ok [14:56] MrPunch: well, they must be able to read some of the root files, while some the must not be allowed to read. I think this question exeeds the capabilities of a proper irc answer. [14:57] Hello [14:57] so I have to login between 1-5 times to unlock my computer... anything I could do to fix this? [14:57] MrPunch: surely you messed up your user permissions. Did you give them root access? [14:57] nabblet no never i never gave them root access. [14:57] i just added them in root "adduser user1" [14:58] MrPunch: what? so this is a hacked vps? [14:58] no [14:58] i've my own [14:58] i bought it from my own money [14:58] with* [14:58] and people uploading exploits, i would remove them from access at all [14:58] Hello folks i have an old HP Proliant Server with no soundcard.Can i still set it up as a music server? [14:58] MrPunch: no, other users hacked your vps? [14:58] i would too i would know who is doing that [14:59] they just use exploit to ddos ppl and then my vps provider company suspends my vps [14:59] MrPunch: what? [14:59] I want the server to hold my music library and connect to it via a musik player [14:59] is that possible? [14:59] you give/sell shells to users and you dont know what they do at all and they use that for ddos other systems? [14:59] i mean i would remove them too from my root if i would've known who uploaded that file and used it for ddos [15:00] Guest95026: yes. [15:00] Guest95026: or use mpd for streaming in your local network [15:00] i have no monitoring system in my vps as my vps ram is not that much higher so i cant afford load on vps [15:00] thx k1l i will figure out the howto by myself.Just wanted to make sure it works before i install the server :) [15:01] yes that is what i want @ k1l [15:01] i was just wondering if it works , well good news [15:02] Guest95026: there are several different server daemons and ways to do it. First figure out if you want it over internet or only within lan.

[15:03] lempel not yet but i will figure it out somehow [15:04] haven't even set up the server yet [15:04] i figured out my question: I had to emulate middle klick.

[15:06] MrPunch: http://askubuntu.com/questions/93411/simple-easy-way-to-jail-users [15:06] MrPunch: but i strongly suggest you stop all users from access as long as you dont have a clue how to run a server at all.

[15:28] hmm [15:29] Yellowberry: yeah it's really bad [15:29] no clue what's triggering it, happens in multiple DE's [15:29] restarting Thunderbird does not fix the problem, a full system reboot is needed [15:29] happens often (every day, at least once) [15:29] have you tried reinstalling Thunderbird?

[15:46] sky-fall, you asked how to make a bootable USB. download ISO. use startup-disk-creator [15:46] i have an is [15:46] iso [15:47] cfhowlett, so just import it to the usb right ? [15:47] cfhowlett, it will be creating a bootable usb i hope [15:47] sky-fall, absolutely not. [15:47] sky-fall, startup-disk-creator will copy the .iso and configure the USB for booting [15:47] sky-fall: no [15:47] cfhowlett, so why is it for ? [15:48] sky-fall: you can use "dd" in terminal or use the usb disk creator [15:48] no luck - Thunderbird is just garbage for me in 14.10 :-/ going to format and go back to 14.04 [15:48] sky-fall, you asked how to make a bootable USB. download ISO. use startup-disk-creator [15:48] sky-fall: if you just copy the image it will be only a data usb stick with an iso file in it. that is not bootable at all [15:49] cfhowlett, ? [15:49] cfhowlett, what for what startup disk creator is used ? [15:49] sky-fall: unetbootin is one easy way (others don't love it but it always works for me) [15:50] sky-fall: startup disk creates a "bootable" USB [15:50] sky-fall, boot ubuntu. start usb creator. [15:50] else you just have data on the USB and the computer doesn't know to try to boot from it [15:50] sky-fall: if you do a little google work you can find easy instructions.... [15:50] sky-fall: where is your issue now? you asked how to make a bootable usb stick with a iso and we answered that. where is your issue now? [15:50] google has *most* of the answers [15:50] usually with pretty how to's and pictures ;) [15:52] k1l, i wanted the name of a software like universal usb installer that makes my usb direct bootable by just copying os installation files [15:52] join /docker [15:52] sorry [15:52] jngd: /join #channel [15:53] sky-fall: why not just use the GUI, seriously there are a ton of tutorial [15:53] k1l, type error, thanks [15:53] you can't just copy an ISO to the drive [15:53] (like going into file browser and copy/paste) that is impossible [15:53] jmadero, ok. i will have a look at it then. thank you all for your information [15:54] sky-fall: an ISO is similar to a zip package, the methods that are available essentially uncompresses them, and then makes the drive bootable [15:54] sky-fall: you can use "dd" [15:54] k11 I don't think that's a good idea given the questions being asked [15:54] sky-fall: no offense [15:54] just dd can make things go HORRIBLY wrong [15:54] and the questions being asked shows that there is some confusion as to what's going on to begin with [15:55] jmadero: that dd way there is no confusion with gui or file browsers at all. [15:56] yes, you just can kill your entire system [15:56] by literally making a "relatively" minor mistake [15:56] (I did this when I was new to Linux...not fun) [15:56] k1l that jail kit is to suspend user, not to restrict user by access rot directory or any other restrictions like prevent upload [15:56] well yes. [15:56] k1l: and again - just given the questions, I suspect he's new [15:56] sky-fall: have you backed up your data :-b that usually answers the question [15:57] MrPunch: why do your users have permissions to write in / at all? [15:57] i dont know [15:57] ;/ [15:57] MrPunch: i think your vps is not setup properly and user used that to exploit that [15:57] jmadero, tbh im kind of new to linux. kind of like it. so just wanted some information regarding third party applications. anyway im so glad u guys helped me. [15:58] sky-fall: backup....seriously, do it [15:58] k1l users can upload files like when making eggdrops they upload tcls.. can i stop uploading only? [15:58] MrPunch: as i said: shut that system down. this seems to be a very unsecure state [15:58] sky-fall: when you're messing with sudo and stuff, things can happen....I once ...(twice)...did "sudo rm -R /*" [15:58] (never do that) [15:58] jmadero, ok. :-) [16:00] k1l my users cant modify but they can read files. [16:00] and they can also upload files [16:00] there is any way i can hide folders from them so cant even read their files [16:00] and stop uploading to their ssh too?

[16:55] the files are still there i think apache moved the root directory for hosting files [16:56] jvwjgames: 14.04 uses /var/www/html/ [16:56] AlexPortable: open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:631 [16:56] AlexPortable: click on printers and see if they're all idle [16:56] ok so now instead of /var/ww it is /var/www/html [16:56] so how do i update my sites [16:56] rotten777: yes [16:57] of can i safly move evrything in that folder [16:57] rotten777: one of them can't be reached, but that's because I tried adding it via apple thing (dp or something) [16:57] toothe: open nautilus as root and browse to /boot/ .... you'll see the different versions of your kernel and you can delete the ones you don't want [16:57] jvwjgames: are you not familiar with apache admin? /etc/apache2/sites-available/ <-- check your configs [16:57] toothe, sorry that was not the right link. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/remove-old-kernels-from-ubuntu-13-04-13-10/ [16:57] toothe: then you can `sudo update-grub` [16:57] kostkon, thank you.

[16:58] nope [16:58] toothe, take you time and you should always keep at least one old kernel as backup [16:59] can reach the web page just fine, also from other devices [16:59] cfhowlett: I want the opposite, to use the older kernel. [16:59] which driver did you use?

How do I remove the boot loader off my hard drive? I am going to do a format with DBAN (darrik's boot and nuke) and I'm wondering if formatting the drive will also take care of the boot loader or if theres something else I need to do? [17:00] jvwjgames: you probably shouldn't be running a website then :) [17:01] NeoGeo64: it will. [17:01] You look fermillar from here [17:01] i know a little about it but not much [17:01] just guide me please [17:01] NeoGeo64: the bootloader is on the harddisk, so it should be removed as well [17:01] Please excuse the previous comment.

[17:14] it says 'processing' when printing, and then it disappears [17:14] hi there, in ubuntu 14.04 does /etc/init.d/networking restart actually re-read my /etc/network/interfaces file, I've added a static ipv6 address but see nothing [17:14] hylian that sounds like a hardware issue [17:14] I only see my link-local address btw - so i know ipv6 is working perse [17:17] this is the config i added to the bottom of my interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9100077/ I then restarted with /etc/init.d/networking restart, yet i still only see my link local on eth0 [17:18] og01: Should use instead sudo service networking restart [17:18] bashfr3ak: i figured it was software. the whistle goes away when i play any audio. it comes bac later, but still, wouldn't that make it a software issue? [17:19] bashfr3ak: it also goes away if I mute all audio. [17:19] genii: Job failed while stopping and already running on start [17:21] genii: I also have ipv4 addresses configured on that same interface (infact I have a /16 work of addresses on that interface, I would rather they not go down...) [17:21] *worth [17:21] hylian maybe the audio the audio "masks" the whistle? also do you have a mic? is it on? anything near it ?

When I ran Ubuntu (I now use Ubuntu Mate) I could connect to Wifi and then to my VPN by entering the password to the default keyring prior to logging in so nothing got broadcast outside of the VPN. [17:48] squirtle_51: Scroll to the bottom... [17:48] squirtle_51: sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [17:48] squirtle_51: change the line that says managed=false to read managed=true [17:49] So, can anyone help me? [17:49] Hi, does anyone use Docky? I can't run any app rom the panel. [17:49] squirtle_51: sudo service network-manager stop && sudo service network-manager start [17:49] Gothicspeaker-, so did you ask a question? [17:49] Gothicspeaker-: since you didnot even ask we cant even help [17:49] cfhowlett: Well, my question is if there can be added a new keyboard lay-out to the next edition of Ubuntu [17:50] Linnak: docky is just a dock, not a launcher, you can't search launchers from it if that os what you are refering [17:50] That's done, so let me log out and back in and see what happens. [17:50] cfhowlett: I have written myself a manuel to use a Gothic keyboard for Ubuntu 12.2, I can refer you to it at Wikipedia, and as people write at the Gothic wikipedia, it would be very useful if we had a standard Gothic keyboard lay-out in Ubuntu which can be choosen by everyone. [17:50] So when I put a lot of app icon on it it should start that app? [17:51] Gothicspeaker-: Ubuntu server? [17:51] acer: Well, I use Ubuntu, wait, let me look up my manuel === sayan is now known as Guest46117 [17:51] gah! [17:51] acer: Here is my manuel: http://roel.tengudev.com/Neo%20Gothic/download_keyboard_layout.php [17:51] im trying to avoid installing this program by source, but I might have to. [17:51] Empathy on Ubuntu is super out of date [17:52] Gothicspeaker-: Oh, you said "next edition of Ubuntu" Sorry, I read it is text edition.... My mistake [17:52] acer: No dice on the login screen. I have the icon after I log in, but not before. [17:52] acer: Like you can see, I made a custom file to add a Gothic keyboard to your ubuntu edition, but the problem is that it isn't standardly included, which I would like. [17:52] Hey guys I screwed up my soources.list so I copied one froma working machine and now I can't install build-essentials [17:53] and I'm totally confused, [17:53] build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed <<--- What?? apt-get update , apt-get install -f, and apt-get clean all don't fix this [17:53] opus_: please put that into a pastebin. and put the error there too [17:53] Gothicspeaker-, according to wikipedia, gothic is an extinct germanic language. so your keyboard is intended for ... who? [17:53] k11: What was your suggestion? [17:54] http://pastebin.com/nSB4HCFA [17:54] cfhowlett: Yes, it's true that it's extinct, but I and some other people are actually, just like Latin, writing modern texts in it. We are for example translating Alice in Wonderland in Gothic, and although I have programmed a tool in PHP to convert Gothic to Latin and vice versa, it's much better for people to be able to type in it directly. [17:54] The error message doesn't tell me anything to help me figure it out [17:55] cfhowlett: Also, I wonder if the standard font supplied by Ubuntu for Gothic can be changed, I hate the current one and I don't know how to change it. [17:55] Gothicspeaker-, so no real reason to make this a part of standard ubuntu. set up a wiki as you have done and maintain it yourself. [17:55] Gothicspeaker-, and choose whatever open font you like [17:56] cfhowlett: If I 'm right, it shouldn't be that much of a big deal to include it, so if some people want to use it, I don't really see why you shouldn't add it [17:56] cfhowlett: And the problem is that I don't know how to add an open font [17:56] opus_: now please "cat /etc/apt/sources.list", "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" and a "uname -a" and "lsb_release -a" [17:56] Gothicspeaker-, not up to me ... but I'm pretty sure "dead" language support is not a priority. ask canonical. [17:56] thry [17:56] lsd -need [17:57] cfhowlett: Where can I find him? And another question is how I can change the standard font.

[18:33] Ok, let's be clear: these are the unicode symbols for Gothic: [18:33] http://jrgraphix.net/r/Unicode/10330-1034F [18:33] bubbasaures: how so? [18:33] 10330-1034F, I want to change those into another font [18:33] so how do I do that? [18:34] Gothicspeaker-: install a font for that [18:34] AlexPortable, Pleading, posting random letters, not having patience....etc is a start. [18:34] Yes, but how do I install a font [18:34] Well I'm about to throw the pc out of the window atm [18:34] if I install it, I can put it somewhere, but that doesn't change how it displays at websites [18:34] I've been trying to fix this for quite a long time, tried many things [18:34] I can download it sure, but then I can just use it independently [18:34] I want to use it for my system. [18:35] AlexPortable: your acting is again demotivating others to help you. you know how to behave here so do it or leave [18:35] AlexPortable, So your inability to fix this allows you to come to this channel and act outside the general norm? [18:35] Gothicspeaker-: what? [18:35] Gothicspeaker-: you are mixing fonts and languages [18:36] bubbasaures: what do you mean act outside the general norm? [18:37] AlexPortable, https://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc and read the code of conduct. [18:38] Gothicspeaker-: maybe something like this is what you want: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13708/how-to-change-the-fallback-font-for-missing-languages [18:38] Gothicspeaker-: if you talk about fonts: go to the unity-tweak-tool, go to the fonts setting, change to your font, done. [18:38] On Ubuntu 10.04 my system was able to shutdown just fine. Now when I want to shutdown my system it just hangs. Doesn't even shuts down on alt+printscreen. /etc/issue is empty. [18:38] k1l: I don't know how to explain it. When I go at the Gothic wikipedia, all those unicode symbols display with the Sadagolthina font, which is not good, I want to change it [18:38] Gothicspeaker-: but before you need to install that fonts correct, like the help article i linked you describes. [18:39] hola, does anyone know, which port is used when I start the ap-hotspot? [18:39] Gothicspeaker-: so your issue is that webpage? [18:40] How do most people use the same test kitchen setup for both testing locally and testing in a CI pipeline? Templated .kitchen.yml, different .kitchen.yml files per environment (specified with an environment variable), or clever use of .kitchen.local.yml? [18:40] k1l: I read that article, but it says that fontconfig is very complicated [18:40] Zoviraksz, This using a PPA to run this? [18:40] wrong channel sorry === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [18:40] bubbasaures: yes [18:40] I can't even use it [18:40] !ppa | Zoviraksz [18:40] Zoviraksz: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [18:41] Gothicspeaker-: where is the issue _exactly_? [18:41] k1l: But if I would change this /.fonts.conf, how is the system supposed to recognize the font which I downloaded? [18:41] Gothicspeaker-: fonts need to be copied to a certain folder. that is mentioned on the help article [18:42] k1l: Which help article? I got a lot of references here but I don't know what you mean [18:42] Gothicspeaker-: and webbrowsers will likely use their own font settings [18:42] Gothicspeaker-: ..... [18:42] Gothicspeaker-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [18:43] AlexPortable: might want to google for "ubuntu acpi shutdown" (if you haven't already). Some boxes (I have an older box here that doesn't) won't shutdown even with recommended proceedures listed in google suggestions. been several years now since I played around with that box though..... anyways just a thought [18:44] Gothicspeaker-: you are mixing all sorts of language , fonts and other settings. you cant even adress your exact issue. if you get some article to increase your knowledge to help you to tell what your actual issue is you dont even read it. i am not sure i got enough motivation left to help in this case [18:44] There's a problem with my installation of the 'unity-tweak-tool' [18:44] squinty: in 10.04 it shutted down fine. Can this cause it? [18:44] I set my options and when I relogin the presets are lost and never saved. [18:45] hey all, i have a process that won't end or kill... [18:45] samthewildone, This an install or on a usb? [18:45] am i missing a flag to forcefully kill it? [18:45] samthewildone, Include the release and desktop. [18:45] k1l: I 'm currently reading your wiki.ubuntu link, but when I thought I was reading the solution, it said that it was ment for the terminal. No, I want to change the font used in webpages and in my whole system for this unicode [18:46] bubbasaures, install [18:46] bubbasaures, 14.04.1 [18:46] samthewildone, unity? [18:47] bubbasaures, actually its a fresh install of unity. [18:47] hi [18:47] bubbasaures, about 3 - 4 days ago when I installed it. [18:47] AlexPortable: the box I mentioned shut down fine when using Windows XP and (iirc) puppy linux but as I say it's been serveral years now since I last played with it.... trying to fix the problem was more of a hassle than just hitting the power switch after everything had finished shutting down (except the power to the computer of course) [18:47] samthewildone, Strange, you all updated/upgraded? [18:47] bubbasaures, I ran the tool in terminal to get any output of errors but, nothing at all. [18:47] yeah [18:48] Might trying doing the reinstall [18:48] noob linux question: what is the difference between services and backgrounded processes? [18:48] samthewildone, I have not run unity for awhile, a little more detail might help like what changes is my guess. [18:49] I have a quite complicated to explain here :) [18:49] but I am not sure it is the good channel [18:49] This is what I mean [18:49] http://askubuntu.com/questions/33716/how-can-i-configure-default-fonts-by-unicode-blocks-or-single-codepoints [18:49] exactly. [18:49] MBach_ THis ubuntu orientated? [18:49] it's about building a debian package for Ubuntu [18:49] with dependencies === badon_ is now known as badon [18:49] MBach_, why? [18:49] bubbasaures, any change to the theme or windows options. I set to my preferred settings then log out and log back in and nothing seemed to be saved. [18:50] because I have made a great - but you don't yet - audio player [18:50] ;) [18:50] http://www.miam-player.org/wiki/index.php?title=How-to-build-Miam-Player -> see the dependency diagram [18:50] MBach_, Maybe help here, if your registered ##linux and there is #debian === derk0pf is now known as derk0pf|NA [18:50] bubbasaures, brb doing a reset [18:51] And the question got closed [18:51] so it doesn't even help me [18:51] well, Ubuntu is the most popular Linux (I think), but are there any differences when building a deb for classic debian compared to ubuntu deb ? [18:51] Why isn't it just possible to simply change your font? Why do you need to go through this mess for it? [18:52] Gothicspeaker-: it is very very very very very very simple [18:52] MBach_: not really, many packages in ubuntu are completely unchanged debian packages that are just rebuilt [18:52] hmm [18:53] I heard that PPA thing is ubuntu only ? [18:53] k1l: If it's very simple, why can't I find the answer at ubuntu.wiki fonts? [18:53] Gothicspeaker-: what did you try and and what did not work? [18:54] in fact, I am using VLC-Qt, which is not included in a "vanilla" ubuntu, so I was wondering how to "trigger" the installation on VLC-Qt PPA [18:54] Gothicspeaker-: sorry to say but you keep just rambling in here that everything is so complicated any doesnt work but you cant neither tell in easy words what you want nor can you tell what you did try and what did not work [18:55] Gothicspeaker-: put the font into the fonts fodler in your home, choose that as system font. done. [18:55] Then why do killing all remaining processes fail squinty [18:56] k1l: Yes, but how do I choose it as system font? What do I have to do for that? I 'm a total noob at ubuntu [18:56] Gothicspeaker-: use "Unity-tweak-tool" like i told you 3 times now [18:56] me too told him.... [18:56] Gothicspeaker-: you beeing a beginner is not a problem. you not reading what people answer you is the problem [18:56] MBach_: when you are building in a ppa you can add other ppas as dependencies, though you'll probably have to mention in the description that the user will need both [18:56] k1l: I can't install it. [18:57] Gothicspeaker-: why? [18:57] k1l: Don't know, it tells me: unable to do [18:57] trism: ok I see [18:57] !paste | Gothicspeaker- [18:57] Gothicspeaker-: 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. [18:57] Oh I did something wrong [18:57] now it works [18:57] ... [18:58] In fact, is it better to build VLC-Qt from the source myself and to provide it or is linking a nicer way to do? [18:59] MBach_: yeah it might be easier if you upload it to the same ppa so you can control the version you link against, ppa packages will build dep on other stuff in the same ppa automatically [19:00] so much work :) [19:00] now I need to create my own PPA [19:00] it's way easier on Windows, haha [19:01] i cannot make my screen bigger and i just put this program on my computer please help. this is really driving me crazy [19:02] How bad is shell shock vulnerability? [19:02] hi [19:02] I have some problems to extract files from a .rar. I'm using both the "rar" and "unrar-free" but I get an error. What tools do you recommend that work ? [19:02] khaya: on ubuntu just run the updates and you are fine. [19:02] how [19:02] having a total nightmare with vsftpd [19:02] thanks [19:02] using pam-pwdfile [19:03] Salr_: just use Archive Manager (File Roller) [19:03] how icant see nothing but s5% of the right hand side screen [19:03] deeman: what? what did you do? what is the issue? [19:03] 25% of the right hand side screen [19:05] or you there [19:05] deeman, we need cause and effect give us details like the install program. [19:05] k1l: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. [19:05] deeman: i cant help you without any more information [19:05] Gothicspeaker-: the new location is ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf [19:06] trism: Ok, but I still don't know what to do. I can't open unity-tweak-tool, because of the previous error [19:06] Salr_: See what it really is: file .rar [19:06] Gothicspeaker-: _what_ error? [19:07] Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Lenovo miix 11. It doesn't recognise my keyboard, touchpad and wifi. Wondering how I can upgrade to 14.10. After installing Ubuntu I'm unable to boot from anything else than the HD (this is an UEFI system) [19:07] k1l: The one which I just sent to you, with line 14. [19:07] I have an external usb keyboard that works however [19:07] trism: I just remember that I've created my PPA a long time ago ... [19:07] which is still empty [19:07] Gothicspeaker-: first answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/206271/how-can-i-bypass-this-fontconfig-warning-to-edit-grub-successfully [19:08] have also tried 2 different usb wifi cards, but it says they are disabled by hw lock [19:08] bubbasares i looked on youtube and got instruction and the man said to down load pendriverlinux and ubuntu to a usb then put it on my pc and i did but my screen only show the right side of the ubuntu screen and i got a 60"screen [19:08] com.canonical.notify-osd [19:08] In order to work properly, Unity Tweak Tool recommends you install the necessary packages [19:08] deeman: install the video driver.

[19:09] can I somehow start the 14.10 upgrade from a 14.10 usb pen drive from within 14.04? [19:10] larstr: Is it a detachable keyboard? [19:10] acer: yes [19:10] larstr, boot it. [19:10] bubbasaures: have booted many times [19:10] im no good with computer so how [19:10] larstr, you can't do it from the OS, with a usb. [19:11] bubbasaures: It looks that UEFI is different. wont boot into BIOS or boot manu or anything else. [19:11] larstr: For the Locked WiFi cards, find the lock switch or the Fn key for it. [19:11] larstr: you can adjust your Software and Updates options to upgrade from 14.04 > 14.10 [19:11] bubbasaures: unless you know a trick. [19:11] bubba so what can i do to fix it [19:11] larstr, You have a 14.04 install on this computer right? [19:11] Gothicspeaker-: install notify-osd [19:11] acer: as long as the built in keyboard isn't working I guess the Fn key isnt either [19:11] squinty: I can not unrar with that tool [19:11] bubbasaures: yes, 14.04 is up and running [19:12] I get an error [19:12] yes [19:12] Salr_, so what error ? [19:12] k1l: Do I need to restart maybe? It still gives the same error [19:12] bubbasaures: but no networking, no working built in keyboard / touchpad [19:13] if the rar has password I get "Cannot open .rar" [19:13] squinty: I told software updates to look for any new updates instead of LTS, but keep in mind I have no networking here [19:13] larstr, Not sure a upgrade will fix your issue, and you will loose the 5 years support 14.04 has. lspci in the terminal will show the wifi hardware, we could use that info. [19:14] bubbasaures: I'm not sure either. I havew no use for a non working 14.04 though [19:14] OerHeks: squinty I think It only happens with passwords'rar [19:14] Salr_, then the rar is corrupted. [19:14] or wrong pass [19:14] larstr, Right, but not all OS plug and play, your issues are fairly standard. [19:15] OerHeks: nops, I can from windows [19:15] the same file [19:15] bubbasaures: I have tried several wifi cards. They are disabled by hw lock (it says) [19:15] bubbasaures: please explain [19:15] do i have to reinstall the whole program to fix my scree [19:16] deeman: you mix program with operating-system [19:16] deeman: what video card do you use? [19:16] larstr, I already explained the info we need to start with, this is a help you situation, not your assumptions and questions. [19:16] how do icheck? no good with computers [19:16] this laptop came with win8 preinstalled and in order to enter BIOS I had to do it from within win8. How can I get to this same place from ubuntu? [19:16] Gothicspeaker-: should work without a restart. maybe relogin [19:17] in order to tell it to boot from usb again [19:17] Now it works! [19:17] Salr_, oke ,how did you unrar ? unrar x -p ? [19:17] deeman: "lspci" in terminal and then show us that in a pastebin [19:17] larstr, All the access you need to the bios is windows or the computers control, ubuntu has nothing to do with it.

[19:18] OerHeks: now I works thank you :))) [19:18] larstr: I have an external usb keyboard that works however why not use that? boot into the system and then post the details of your wireless setup [19:18] my system is not seeing my whole disk [19:18] in gnome-disks it shows a 30GB data partition [19:19] squinty: I can do that, not sure how it'll help [19:19] Riku-VPS, This a dualboot?nd with what if so? [19:19] Can't find the Gothic font in unity-tweak-tool :( [19:19] and* [19:19] gparted doesn't recognize the partition table [19:19] and everything else sees 6.3GB [19:19] Gothicspeaker-: so you still didnt install it? [19:19] bubbasaures: not a dual boot [19:19] k1l: I think you understood me incorrectly. I want to change the Gothic unicode, but I can't find that nowhere in Unity Tweak Tool [19:19] Riku-VPS, Can you run sudo parted -l in ubuntu and pastebin it [19:20] Gothicspeaker-: so you have no font that you want to install? [19:21] Riku-VPS, Any info like this was an apple or windows 8 computer is pertinent, E.G. gpt partitioning. [19:21] k1l: I want to install another font for a certain unicode range, which is not the Latin letters, but similar to Slavic letters, or Greek letters, but I don't want to change Slavic or Greek letters, but Gothic letters, from the Gothic alphabet. [19:22] so its more about mixing fonts. [19:22] still copying info [19:22] I want to change 10330, which is Gothic A [19:22] 10331 which is Gothic B [19:22] 10333 which is Gothic C [19:22] etc. [19:22] currently the font sagolthina is used for that [19:22] but I want to use another font. [19:22] Hmm.. it says Wireless LAN is Hard blocked [19:23] (rfkill) [19:23] Hi guys i need little help at work they installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from the Software Center I installed Flash player for mozilla but its still not working when I try to play forgeofempires [19:23] bubbasaures: pastebin.com/bTgcKUqr [19:24] needhelp123 I think I have a similar problem, my flash player plays youtube, but it just tries to download games [19:24] no idea why though [19:25] riku-VPS this is what says my webpage To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 11.7 or greater is installed. [19:25] is there no working way to sync an iphone in ubuntu yet? i'm assuming not based on about an hour of looking around [19:25] for forge of empires [19:25] not sure then [19:25] Riku-VPS, So what is this HS an external, SSD,USB? [19:25] HD* [19:26] internal flash [19:26] Riku-VPS, I don't understand that, a memory card? [19:26] eMMC [19:27] I should probably go to #ubuntu-arm, my bad [19:27] Riku-VPS, I would fsck it, not sure really. [19:27] yeah woops going to #ubuntu-arm [19:28] it's an arm system [19:28] cool sounds like you have a better place to ask [19:29] don't want to do anything sketchy with partitions, that's how I bricked my last device :P [19:29] hah! wireless now working: modprobe -r ideapad_laptop [19:30] Riku-VPS, It is only sketchy if you don't know what your doing, and are not backed up. ;) [19:30] even if I back it up I can't restore it [19:30] larstr: ah you've come up on a common issue with ideapads where you need to modify the module so that the other ideapad benefits work, but it doesn't lock out the wifi [19:31] last time I erased the whole flash [19:31] no bootloader = no booting = no recovering [19:32] Riku-VPS, Hardly, your argument at least with an explanation looks like swiss cheeses. [19:32] without* [19:32] ? [19:32] daftykins: weird issue.. And I guess this laptop is a close relative to those ideapads [19:32] hello, i'm installing ubuntu in a raid1 system [19:32] my arguement is if you mess up the bootloader you're screwed [19:33] unless you have a dev device with working nvflash [19:33] where should i install the bootloader (i don't have a boot partition) [19:33] Riku-VPS, What I'm saying is " no bootloader = no booting = no recovering" is faulty most likely, you can back it up some way when it's a working setup. [19:34] Ok I understand it now [19:34] maybe, but it's been two years since my device was released and nobody has figured it out yet [19:34] I simply can't change the font as there is a too complicated process and the answer can be found nowhere. [19:34] also I didn't really care to recover it because the touchscreen was bad [19:35] Riku-VPS, Maybe your the one to do it. ;) [19:36] I want to run an application from a bash script [19:36] but then continue the script [19:36] the program seems to keep the rest of my script from running [19:37] I'm having some issues with my battery life, for some reason ubuntu only lasts for about 2 hours. [19:38] Is there any reason behind this? How can I fix it? Or is Ubuntu just a power hog? [19:38] My battery is 6-cell and lasts around 4-5 hours when not using WiFi on Windows 8.1 [19:38] it's not as efficient with power management *out of the box* as Windows, typically [19:38] daftykins: Is there any way to work around this?

[19:59] i'm only using the vps via a command line and no ui. will it still tell me then? or do I need to run a command of some sort? [19:59] miccheck, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:00] ok, thanks. should i run that as you wrote it? with the && ? how often do you recommend running that? [20:01] miccheck: It's 2 commands. the `&&` makes it so they both run congruently instead of having to run them 1 at a time. The first "checks" for updates and the second "installs" them. You can consider changing the "upgrade" command to "dist-upgrade" - "upgrade" will only upgrade existing packages, where as "dist-upgrade" will add new packages and remove obsolete ones. If you're on an LTS version this won't happen often anyway, but things may happen with dist-upgra [20:01] de such as installed a new kernel version etc [20:04] miccheck, other than that - you're relying on the distro repositories to keep packages updated for security risks - for instance, links like PHP or other stuff which may affect your web services (assuming you're using the VPS for something like that) - ultimately it's up to you to keep on top of exploits and occasionally you may have to manually grab a newer versions of a package than is available in your selected repo's if you feel like you are going to be ta [20:04] rgeted by a current vulnerability. [20:04] ikonia: you're spamming almost as much as me xD [20:05] thank you so much for the thorough explanations! so there isn't really an interval you'd recommend, just keep on top of the latest vulnerabilities? where do you go to see that info?

You can try #ubuntu-server (I'm assuming you have the server version installed) for questions pertaining to your specific distro version - otherwise you may consider looking up general information in google using keywords like "sysadmin" and "vulnerabilities" [20:07] hey guys, i got a quick question, i was trying to install openssl-devel but it says package is not available.. has it been changed or do i remember it wrong? [20:07] m0h4wk_: open a terminal "sudo nano /etc/bumb..." [20:07] hello all [20:07] back later. [20:08] i have a g31 graphic adapter and in random instances show as it:http://i.imgur.com/BAIFQbi.png [20:08] daftykins: it said command not found [20:08] what can i do i am using ubuntu 12.04 [20:08] daftykins: this is what I typed: sudo nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf [20:08] miccheck, if you're new to linux in general - you can also do some research on "cron" - and how to use it to automate a small script which can install updates in regular intervals, hands free. [20:09] bumblebee is deprecated [20:09] k1l: ? [20:09] m0h4wk_: use nvidia-prime [20:09] zsoc, thank you again so much! you've been super helpful! [20:09] k1l: would that be a better program? [20:09] m0h4wk_: yes [20:09] !prime [20:09] !nvidia-prime [20:10] how do I call an application from a shell script [20:10] but keep executing? [20:10] m0h4wk_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics [20:11] javnut, & [20:11] k1l: so would the command be sudo apt-get install nvidia-331? [20:11] i have a intel g31 graphic adapter and in random instances show as it:http://i.imgur.com/BAIFQbi.png [20:12] m0h4wk_: no. you are missing stuff then [20:12] k1l: and I'm assuming you have to uninstall bumblebee before doing any of this? [20:12] hello all If there is anyone with experiance of Ubuntu 14.10 I am having a problem with screen flickering anyone have any ideas [20:12] m0h4wk_: yes [20:12] m0h4wk_: uninstall bumblebee first, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime [20:13] k1l: and then lightdm? [20:13] lightdm should be installed [20:13] k1l: automatically? [20:13] yes [20:14] k1l: should I double check? [20:14] m0h4wk_: lightdm is the login screen. i think that is installed allready :) [20:14] hello, I need some help. I've a server with two ethernet cards that connects to the internet and then local PCs. My server can connect to the internet and to the Local lan pcs. However, the Local LAN pcs can't connect to the internet. Here are the configs and routing table pliz http://pastebin.com/rSzWJQ5J [20:14] k1l: oh, yeah lol my bad [20:14] k1l: now that I have installed Nvidia Prime, would that improve my battery power? [20:15] SilentSleeper, that is a really vague question - you're not likely to get a response with only that information. You can try disabling compositing by replacing unity with unity 3d (which will probably fix the problem, but you probably don't want compositing disabled) - otherwise we would need info about your graphics hardware and drivers installed. [20:15] m0h4wk_: well. i dont have a nvidia optimus so i cant tell how much battery that setup saves then [20:15] ffd [20:16] how do I switch to unity 3e [20:16] *3d [20:16] SilentSleeper: there is no unity2d [20:16] k1l: I just typed in sudo nvidia-settings and got this :** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort [20:16] ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no [20:16] SilentSleeper, sorry, I meant Unity 2d, I misspoke. Also apparently it doesn't exist anymore according to k1l [20:16] k1l: once I restart would it work then? [20:16] m0h4wk_: yes [20:16] k1l: brb [20:17] k1l, can you actually not turn off compositing in 14.04? [20:17] ok im kinda new to ubuntu so dont where to find some of this information [20:17] 12.04 has 2d [20:17] zsoc: no, gnome switched form the 2d to the lib that makes 3d with cpu rendering. [20:18] SilentSleeper: what is your issue? [20:18] k1l, interesting, seems inconvenient for some older/fussy hardware. [20:18] SilentSleeper: make sure you got the proper video driver for your video card. which is that video card? what video driver? [20:19] zsoc: well, if its older/slower then use lubuntu anyway [20:19] @kil pretty much when I do anything the screen keeps flickering more so when moving mouse.... typing here prety much when computer in use [20:19] k1l, yeah, his problem is probably gpu/driver related (flicker) - i just thought "turn off compositing" was a simple solution for someone who isn't familiar with how to look up that info. I was wrong apparently. [20:20] k1l: now that I've installed it, how can I utilize it? Or is it simply a driver? [20:20] zsoc: its llvmpipe, which makes 3d rendering === matt_ is now known as Guest283 [20:21] for graphics this is what I see this is under the setting details Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits) [20:21] ok, there we go. [20:21] Hello Earthlings. [20:21] SilentSleeper: "lspci" in terminal. what VGA line do you get there? [20:21] where can i modify the syscptl file? [20:22] irreverant: What is your end goal? [20:22] m0h4wk: see in nvidia-settings [20:23] sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=2 make this permanent [20:23] k1l: this is what pops up ** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort [20:23] ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no [20:23] k1l: along with the Nvidia X Server Settings program [20:23] m0h4wk: do you have a nvidia optimus card? [20:23] Jordan_U, [20:24] k1l: I'm running an Nvidia Geforce 850M card [20:24] k1l: There's also an intel graphics chip [20:24] k1l: isn't that essentially optimus? [20:24] m0h4wk: no [20:24] k1l: I just checked the website for my card [20:24] this /etc/sysctl.conf does not contain the results from sysctl -a [20:24] k1l: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-850m [20:25] k1l: It says it works with optimus [20:25] hello [20:25] irreverant: You probably want to modify /etc/sysctl.conf then, see "man sysctl.conf". [20:25] m0h4wk: i think the laptop still needs to be a optimus one. [20:26] Jordan_U, tha'ts what i'm talking about [20:26] the info i need to modify is not found in /etc/sysctl.conf [20:26] < new user looking to take AM PM off the clock? === enzotib_ is now known as Guest38813 [20:26] irreverant: The sysctl command is explicitly intended only for setting variables once, for the current boot. It is not indended that sysctl will save settings anywhere persisitant. [20:26] k1l: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-V3-772G-747A321-Notebook.93916.0.html [20:26] geek83, What release and desktop? [20:26] k1l: ctrl+f optimus [20:26] I added PPAs that included the same source for Steam, it's causing duplicates in apt-get update, I deleted the PPA and uninstalled Steam, but it's still shoing the duplicates in apt-get update, how do I delete the duplicate? [20:27] Jordan_U, yes; i'm aware of that [20:27] k1l: my laptop is most certainly optimus [20:27] bubbasaures, hi ty, ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit [20:27] m0h4wk: ok. i dont know your laptop so i told you to check [20:27] unity desk [20:27] irreverant: So add a new line, as explained in "man sysctl.conf". If after reading that manual you still have questions, feel free to ask. [20:27] but when i look for that variable in the file it's missin [20:27] ok [20:27] danileigh79, software & updates has a list 2nd tab you can turn off and remove with. [20:27] k1l: done and done brotha, it says it's optimus. So how could I fix this? [20:27] k1l: I'm still not sure why the Nvidia X Server window pops up [20:28] When I issue the command "service apache2 restart" I get the error: env: apache2ctl: No such file or directory [20:28] k1l: I don't have any application profiles set up or anything. Would that be the issue?

[20:28] 00:00.5 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) [20:28] SilentSleeper 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 [20:28] SilentSleeper: that is an old card, is it? === `ar|elo` is now known as zz_`ar|elo` [20:28] danileigh79, That is the apps name, look in applcations [20:29] bubbasaures: Second tab= "Other Software" [20:29] so Jordan_U would it be sysctl.conf = 'net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=2' [20:29] danileigh79, Yeah, now look in that list for the extra stuff. [20:30] bubbasaures: Thanks, got it [20:30] sorry about that all hit wrong button [20:30] SilentSleeper: no chance of running that with any modern nvidia driver. the free driver is all you can expect [20:30] irreverant: I don't think that the quotes are needed. [20:30] danileigh79, Cool, this can be done from the terminal with a text or in it as well, the gui is nice and easy. [20:31] how does i tknow the value = is different for the second one? [20:31] do i have to put == [20:31] bubbasaures: Still learning cli commands, even after 6 years, I like GUI, but some things require sudi [20:31] bubbasaures: *sudo [20:31] danileigh79, Yep, I gotta take off is all. [20:31] cant mount usb..nor burn a dvd/cd [20:32] irreverant: Also, the variable you're setting is not "sysctl.conf", it's "net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout". [20:32] the thing is it wasnt doing this when I installed it previously it did and then it stopped so tryied reintalling and its happening again now [20:32] hi, can someone look at my Dmesg? I think there are some problems with ACPI http://pastebin.com/mCctUM5G [20:32] ah that's what i'm asking [20:32] is there a dev cd? [20:32] !dev [20:32] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [20:32] !minimal [20:32] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:32] danileigh79: indeed [20:32] m0h4wk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/457446/ubuntu-14-04-nvidia-prime-is-it-supported-no [20:32] irreverant: I expect that the following is what you want in /etc/sysctl.conf : net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 2 [20:32] Gonna plaster you guys with questions as I read 'A practical guide to Linux' [20:33] Good luck [20:33] nmatrix9: I also use a DOS based terminal at worl, I get the commands mixed up between CLI and DOS a LOT [20:33] ? [20:33] So how does the GUI work? [20:34] hi there, I had a power outage on my raspberry pi, now I get this when mounting the sd card under ubuntu: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d8cbd266f12b3f54e542 anyone got an idea how to fix this? [20:34] Someone who's got a lot of knowledge on desktop managers, window managers, and GUI's in particular msg me [20:34] danileigh: Iam at work right now, work on a win box I make sure all file names and paths have no empty space in them. [20:34] Last question, does anybody know why X11 is not showing up in taskbar after starting program? If I click on X11 again, it beings up a new server control panel, and not the control panel for the existing server? [20:34] Ranieri_: That's an incredibly open ended question. Try asking something more concrete, or better explain what you're trying to do that you're having trouble with. [20:34] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored [20:35] Jordan_U: Okay, explain the GUI that sits ontop of Ubuntu [20:35] danileigh: as regular user? [20:35] How does it work? Where is this particular thing saved? etc.. etc [20:35] Ranieri_: "msg me" is not how it works here. wikipedia and ubuntu community web pages have a lot of that basic information [20:36] squinty: How do I view them without a GUI? [20:36] net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1 [20:36] is this a recommended setting for syn_flood attacks? Jordan_U [20:36] squinty: But, you're right.. [20:36] Ranieri_: That's still far too open ended. What particular "thingy" are you asking about? What are you trying to accomplish, and where are you running into problems? [20:36] irreverant: I have no idea. [20:36] Jordan_U: I want to create my own GUI ontop of the CLI [20:36] nmatrix9: Yes, I start X11, click on accept connections, and it dialogs that there will be an icon in task/system bar, but there isn't one... I have to use System Monitor to close process when done, which requires restart if I want to launch X11 again [20:37] Ranieri_: this is a technical support channel. not a classroom. you need to get to experience things on your own and if you have a specific technical issue we can help you. [20:37] k1l: ahh kk [20:37] k1l: My GUI doesn't exist or work [20:37] anyone in here do html/php? #web is very dead [20:37] ^ yo [20:38] Ranieri_: and this is not the right place for "teach me how to program my own GUI" too. [20:38] ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000001828-0x000000000000182f SystemIO conflicts with Region \PMIO 1 (20131115/utaddress-251) [20:38] Ranieri_: if you have a technical issue with ubuntu ask for it and give much details and errormessages (use pastebin) [20:38] howdy Jordan_U I'm the guy thats been having troubles with grub on my external HDD and booting, remember me? Last time we chatted I was running from that Ext hdd. I shut down and tried, after some time, to boot back onto the external and it failed. Thought I wouldn't do the 'Boot-Repair-Disk' trick until you had a chance to look at it (Grub config?) on that ext hdd [20:38] what do ya say? [20:39] k1l: The purpose of this channel is then stupid, because it's quicker and more efficient to google those types of problems instead of asking a channel. [20:39] Ranieri_: This is Ubuntu support, you need to give specific details, I'm using xx.xx version of ubuntu, I tried to do this, but something else happened when I expected this [20:39] TimeVirus: are your sure your mainboard can boot from usb-hhds at all? [20:39] cat /proc.... set to 2 [20:39] yes [20:39] Jordan_U, thanx [20:39] ofcourse [20:40] nmatrix9: In other words, how can I make the existing X11 session visable? [20:40] Ranieri_: please stop spoiling this channel. read the !guidelines if needed. [20:40] irreverant: You're welcome. [20:40] k1l: Okay :'( [20:40] Hi @all. I am using ubuntu and connect to a remote debian system. How I can stop "tail -f" on ssh connections? CTRL-C didn't work [20:41] TimeVirus: to me it sounds like this is not "ofcourse" [20:41] ok [20:41] danileigh79: Run top and see who the session is running under? [20:41] bytecounter: Is this a reproducible problem? "tail -f" should stop from a ctrl+C. [20:41] TimeVirus: what is on the internal hdds? what os? [20:41] nmatrix9: "Run top"? [20:41] K1l it boots as long as I use Ubuntu's Boot-Repai-Disk utility [20:42] Lubuntu is on my ext [20:42] internal is win7 [20:42] danileigh: it's a process manager [20:42] TimeVirus: So it's currently failing to boot from the external? [20:42] yes [20:42] TimeVirus: because if your mainboard could "ofcourse" boot from the external hdd it would give you the otion to boot from it in the boot-select-menue [20:42] TimeVirus: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. [20:42] you said to let you know next time it fails [20:42] !bootinfo | TimeVirus [20:42] TimeVirus: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [20:43] Yes, it is reproducable [20:43] nice [20:43] TimeVirus: there is no OS involved in that stage, so its mainboard is not capable of bootin it [20:43] bytecounter: What is the exact command you're running? What are the steps to reproduce this problem? [20:43] ctrl-c works on local instances of "tail -f" but not on ssh connections [20:43] danileigh79: gotta head out but I'll be back later tonight. === MeltedLux is now known as MeltedDed [20:43] nmatrix9: Okay [20:43] so K1l youre telling me that I never run Lubuntu from the external? [20:43] lol [20:44] nmatrix9: Thanks [20:44] k1L: I just encountered a major issue [20:44] TimeVirus: you need another grub setup then. you need to put grub on the internal disks [20:45] ssh myserver <- server config in ~/.ssh/config [20:45] k1l: Remember that Nvidia X Server window I told you about that popped up after typing nvidia-settings? [20:45] and Grub will point to the external from the internal for boot? [20:45] after loggin in: tail -f anyfile [20:45] m0h4wk: that is the nvidia drivers settings yes [20:45] TimeVirus: yes. [20:45] wow [20:45] ok [20:45] k1l: I closed that window, screen went black, and then all I could see was the desktop. [20:45] k1l: no sidebar, nothing on the top. [20:46] m0h4wk: relogin [20:46] k1l: I rebooted and now I can log into my original account [20:46] bytecounter: Just for completeness, let's choose a file so that I have an exact command. "fail -f /etc/fstab" can't be killed by ctrl+c from ssh, but can locally? [20:46] k1l: Iḿ in guest mode right now [20:46] tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log [20:46] But it is on any file === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [20:47] k1l: every time I entered my password, screen went black for 1 second, and threw me back into login screen [20:47] m0h4wk: ctrl+alt+f1 then login , then remove all the nvidia and bumblebee stuff. then sudo reboot [20:47] m0h4wk: wait [20:47] If I try a "local" tail -f I can break it by ctrl-c. But in a ssh-connection it doesn't work [20:48] login on tty (ctrl+alt+f1) and then make "ls -al" and see if the .Xauthority file belongs to user:user or root:root [20:48] X11vnc is running in terminal, I close terminal, but that doesn't kill connection to viewer, X11VNC shows in TOP, but not system monitor. There is no icon in task/system bar. How do I kill x11vnc client without rebooting laptop [20:48] bytecounter: If you run "cat" from an ssh connection, and try to quit it with ctrl+d (*not* ctrl+c) does cat also fail to exit? [20:49] ok I'm now on win7 and to run that script I presume I need to be on a linux so off I go :) [20:49] bbl [20:49] how to change screen resolution via CL when xrandr is not in the repos?

Then explain unix2dos [20:51] jut the newlines maybe [20:51] belgianguy: Line endings differ though. [20:52] in last names add names.txt [20:52] a decent editor (Notepad++ or something) quickly takes care of that [20:52] Ranieri_: Please don't waste time with questions you know the answer to, or with anything else that's not productive Ubuntu support discussion. [20:52] Jordan_U: So I run the unix2dos utility on all my txt files? [20:53] Ok, it seems to be a server problem. On the other one it works fine. Sorry for confusion [20:53] Ranieri_: any text editors cope fine with windows or unix line endings [20:53] popey: ahh ty [20:53] Ranieri_: however some people prefer to remove the windows line endings, and may need to for some application to work correctly [20:53] Ranieri_: hence why unix2dos exists [20:54] popey: So the raw code of a txt file is just 1 long string with \n's everytime you press the enter key? [20:54] yes [20:56] Ranieri_: if you open a txt file with gedit and then click on Save As > at the bottom of the screen you will see a selection box > save as "windows, or unix/linux or apple/mac" format.

[21:20] Very outdated. [21:20] So I try to disable EDID but need to find the frequency ranfes for the Xorg.conf. [21:20] Hi, does any of you use Docky as a dock launcher? [21:21] It doesn't launch any app [21:23] toothe: Try backporting the source package from vivid. [21:23] Hi! Could you advice me how can I disable system suspending on 'when laptop lid is closed'? @ Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. [21:23] backporting the source? [21:24] toothe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/backportpackage.1.html === xubuntu is now known as Guest33802 [21:24] hi everybody just did a fresh instal xubuntu now installing virtualbox but i got a crash but i dont know what it is >>>xubuntu@HP:/var/crash$ ls [21:24] _usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.crash [21:24] _usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.upload [21:24] _usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.uploaded [21:24] toothe: Binary .deb files are built from source package files. [21:25] i hope it is nothing serious [21:25] sebo: system settings, then power - find the option for when lid is closed and set to to nothing [21:25] sebo, I don't actually knowt he 'proper' way to do it - last time I needed to i just added HandleLidSwitch=ignore to /etc/systemd/logind.conf - not sure if it still works in 14.04 [21:26] Can anyone help me install an Nvidia driver? [21:26] sebo: system settings > power [21:26] bak [21:26] m0h4wk: there are tonnes of guides online for bumblebee/nvidia-prime setup [21:26] geoffmcc: And what if I do not have the Graphical User Interface? === timevirus is now known as TimeVirus [21:27] daftykins: well apparently I can't read them because anything I try doesn't work [21:27] nobody that can help me? [21:27] m0h4wk: well you can actually be a lot more specific than "doesn't work" [21:27] Guest33802: you'll need patience [21:27] m0h4wk: did it work with the login now? [21:27] sebo: im not sure, but way back i used to run ubuntu server on an old laptop. When i closed the lid it just did nothing, didnt have to set anything [21:27] sebo: try the setting in the file that I mentioned. [21:27] daftykins: I apologize. My login works now and now I'm trying to install the driver that is compatible with my card [21:28] teward i will be thanks maybe people forget me:P [21:28] m0h4wk: so what stage in a guide are you getting stuck at? (i'm assuming from what i partially read earlier that this is an nvidia optimus setup) [21:28] daftykins: I am using this guide http://in.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/337.12/README/installdriver.html [21:29] zsoc: I will do. Anyway mine has a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS server x64 and it do suspend when the lid is closed [21:29] m0h4wk: yeah no, you shouldn't try and use nvidia's manual downloads [21:29] daftykins: what do you suggest then? [21:29] m0h4wk: ok logout of gui. then you loginto the tty1 again and do there "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*" and then "sudo apt-get purge bumblebee*" maybe make a note on paper to recognize that commands. [21:30] k1l: on it [21:30] m0h4wk: after that you make "sudo reboot now" which will reboot. then it should load with the free driver to the gui. then you install the nvidia drivers again [21:30] sebo, this is not the default behavior (from what I know) - it's likely an ACPI thing from your laptop hardware [21:31] m0h4wk: just go to settings if you use 14.04 then u will see drivers then click on it and it will load drivers that are compitable if i am not wrong [21:31] I'm trying to use pip install bsddb185, but I get this message: "Didn't find /usr/include/db.h". I've got libdb5.3 installed, what am I missing? [21:31] hey [21:31] i need urgent help [21:31] :( [21:31] by mistake i used dd on wrong drive [21:32] Nick_ZWG: To get the header files of a package (*.h) you need the dev package. [21:32] Nick_ZWG: Install `libdb-dev` [21:32] agent_white: Ahh, the dev package [21:32] how do I find out what version of gnome DE I'm running? [21:32] nick_ZWG : is the file in /usr/include? try sudo [21:32] Ey guys, my beeper aint working i tried everything now. [21:32] For gnome-terminal. [21:32] magichex: Unfortunately, there's not really any going back from that. [21:32] Anyone got a clue about this ? Its not working at all.. Really annoying. [21:32] genii: but partition is still mounted [21:32] magichex how much data did you overwrite? [21:33] agent_white: no package by that name [21:33] zsoc: man logind.conf says that 'HandleLidSwitch= default to suspend' [21:33] rberg_: i was trying to make bootable usb so arount 1.6gig [21:33] sebo, that's what's causing it then i suppose [21:33] Nick_ZWG: `libdb-devel` ? [21:33] Nick_ZWG: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ search for the file to see what package is needed [21:33] what does this mean?_usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.crash [21:33] _usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.upload [21:33] _usr_bin_xfwm4.1000.uploaded [21:34] k1l: I did all that except the reboot ofc [21:34] Guest33802: please don't paste multiline. It looks like those are reports of application crashes, which were then uploaded to the error tracker, I believe [21:34] k1l: How would I go about installing Nvidia once I get back to the gui? [21:34] rberg_: that was my home partition on external drive, not sure what happened cuz i can still access all data but dont hnow what happen when i unmount this drive [21:34] agent_white: squinty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libdb-dev seems to be correct, but apt-get says it can't locate it. [21:35] Nick_ZWG: What's the error it gives you? [21:35] !info libdb-dev [21:35] libdb-dev (source: db-defaults): Berkeley Database Libraries [development]. In component main, is extra. Version 1:5.3.21~exp1ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 2 kB, installed size 26 kB [21:35] "E: Unable to lcoate package libdb-dev" [21:35] would dd destroy mounted drive and overite data on it ? [21:35] magichex: I am not an expert with that at all, but I would not unmount that drive, and I would start copying anything you care about off if you can [21:35] Nick_ZWG: Enable "extra" repository [21:35] teward: is this something i should worry about? or shall i just delete them from crash log? [21:35] guest-IdLipZ: after the reboot you do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime" [21:35] Guest33802: and it looks like X window manager died there, which in turn prompted the crash data to be uploaded. If you got a "System problem detected" popup and then chose "Send error report" and then hit continue or such, you're fine, and there's no need to delete them [21:35] Bleh, no, should be in main [21:36] * genii grumbles and goes to look for more coffee [21:36] ;) [21:36] genii: Can't see anything on the page that suggests that... [21:36] TimeVirus: Were you able to run boot info script? [21:36] teward: thanks bery much shall i now reboot or something? or its all fine [21:37] magichex: maybe check out testdisk/photorec available in the repo's [21:37] Nick_ZWG: No, I made a mistake. It should be in the main repository. You did already a sudo apt-get update ? [21:37] k1l: Hi, I'm back. [21:37] Jordan_U not yet I'm on it though - got other things I need 2 do first with this Kali live [21:38] genii: I did not. Let me do that first... [21:38] m0h4wk: guest-IdLipZ: after the reboot you do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime" [21:38] Nick_ZWG: apt-cache show libdb-dev >> Filename: pool/main/d/db-defaults/libdb-dev_5.3.21~exp1ubuntu1_amd64.deb . It is there . [21:38] k1l: that's the latest version I assume? [21:38] Nick_ZWG: make sure you are searching the repo for the ubuntu version you have installed. ie trusty, precise or utopic etc [21:38] for 1 I need an Archive extractor it seems [21:38] lol [21:38] k1l: Would I have to update manually every time or does it update automatically? [21:38] unzipper [21:39] magichex: I dont know that testdisk can save overwritten data.. so I would copy anything off you can before running testdisk/photorec [21:39] magichex: Please pastebin the output of "cat /proc/partitions". [21:39] m0h4wk: its automatic since its fomr ubuntu [21:39] k1l: Now that I've installed this driver, rebooting would be the best thing to do then. [21:39] Thanks guys, I had to apt-get update first. [21:40] How do i fix beeper in gnome-terminal? [21:40] TimeVirus: Archive Manager (aka File Roller) should handle your archive needs [21:40] Hello, I have a problem with keymap on google-chrome. It's for a while and I can't figure how to fix it. The keys works fine, but when I press Ctrl the keymaps seens wrong [21:40] (I've never used ubuntu before, I'm used to centos) [21:40] Impossible to fix this. Tried everything. [21:40] Is there an workaround? [21:40] ok squinty [21:40] squinty: agent_white: Bashing-om: genii: Appreciate it guys, thanks. [21:40] thanks [21:40] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/seH3qLWt [21:41] magichex: Please pastebing the contents of /proc/mounts. [21:42] hi [21:42] Prezident: What is the issue with your bell? [21:42] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/snrw7Gma [21:43] genii: not working at all. [21:43] Prezident: might want to check System Settings > Sound > Sound Effects and make sure the volume is up and not muted [21:43] It is. [21:43] Of course :) [21:43] Sound works, just not beep. [21:43] glass.ogg work [21:43] Prezident: read again [21:44] magichex: So it looks like your first partition is ntfs, possibly a Windows partition. That is where you're going to see the most file loss and difficulty of recovery. [21:44] Prezident: I'd suggest to also check for a line in your .bashrc starting with: set bell-style ..and see what the value is, or if it is even there. [21:44] be back in a few need to use another OS this Package Manager is borked [21:45] Jordan_U: i used dd on /dev/sdb [21:45] its not even there genii [21:45] ı want love [21:45] Prezident: You might try adding a line like: set bell-style audible in there [21:46] aloneheart: All we can offer is Ubuntu support [21:46] Hold on. [21:46] anywhere genii ? [21:46] Prezident: Just as the last line, by itself [21:47] magichex: Then you may be really lucky. Was /dev/sdb1 simply an EFI System Partition? [21:47] Nah that didnt help genii after source .bashrc [21:47] This is a mystery really. [21:47] Prezident: Yes, odd [21:47] Question: there are rules in UFW that I can't for the life of me figure out the origin of (they don't appear in it's .rules files). How can I figure out where these rules originate? [21:47] nobody looking love [21:48] magichex: Rather, it looks like it's ext2, so maybe a separate /boot/ partition from its size? (If not, what was it?) [21:48] aloneheart: This is not the channel for that. If you have a problem with your Ubuntu however, we may be able to help. [21:49] k1l: aww come on, that guy was clearly depressed. [21:50] Jordan_U as far as remember fdisk -l was showing partitions on it but it doesnt anymore [21:50] mk [21:50] Ranieri_: your accusation is false. and i thought we are clear about how to use this channel [21:50] Jordan_U this partition is still mounted and it looks like i can access all data but i dont have any other hdd to make backup [21:51] Jordan_U so my question is would dd desttroy all data on mounted partition ? [21:52] magichex: Was there anything important on /dev/sdb1? [21:53] Jordan_U: i dont care about sdb1 my old home was on sdb3 [21:54] magichex: Good, assuming that your partitions are numberd in disk order (usually true) the filesystem contents from /dev/sdb3 should be untouched, since they are far beyond 1.6 GiB into the disk. [21:54] k1l: :'( [21:55] Prezident: terminal > edit > preferences > general > bell > toggle box [21:55] magichex: The contents of /dev/sdb1 are probably irrecoverable, the contents of /dev/sdb2 are mostly untoched but may (or may not) be very difficult to recover if the beginning of the filesystem was overwritten. You should be able to completely recover /dev/sdb3 using GParted's partition recovery tools. [21:56] squinty: done. [21:56] Thats default i think. [21:56] Prezident: not here it's not [21:57] Jordan_U: have look -> http://pastebin.com/JMxD2EAi [21:58] ok Jordan_U; I have results post to pastebin.ubuntu.? ? [21:59] TimeVirus: Yes please. [21:59] ok [21:59] magichex: You're even luckier, gpt is easier to recover still. [22:00] Jordan_U: (gpartedbin:2632): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 [22:00] magichex: If you run simply "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" it should give you an option to restore the primary GPT header from the data found in the backup. [22:01] magichex: That's OK, we don't actually want to use gparted for this after all. gdisk is a better solution for your situation. [22:02] Jordan_U: Found invalid MBR and corrupt GPT. What do you want to do? (Using the [22:02] GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.) [22:02] 1 - Use current GPT [22:02] 2 - Create blank GPT [22:02] Jordan_U; http://pastebin.com/iaEBweQ4 [22:02] magichex: 1 [22:02] strange happenings there sdc is the external hdd in question here [22:03] Jordan_U: ok i selected option 1 what next ? i dont wanna breaki it if i have chance to recover it [22:04] why does it say 'Devices which dont seem to have a corresponding hard drive'? [22:04] for sdc [22:04] TimeVirus: Odd that BIS isn't showing sdc. Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and the contents of /proc/partitions. [22:04] ok [22:05] magichex: Please pastebin what you currently see on the screen from gdisk. (I'm 98% sure that typing 'w' now will restore your partition table, but I'd like to see the output first). [22:07] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/HGBuR1Fj looks like next should be [ c ] ? [22:09] Hello all, is there a way to refresh xgraph every 1sH [22:10] Jordan_U; http://pastebin.com/ZnPsf165 [22:10] magichex: No, gdisk already did that automatically. You just want 'w', though I'd be a little more comfortable if you 'q' first and started over, running "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" again and never entering the recovery and transformation options mode. [22:11] this is puppy tahr btw Jordan seems I cant do /proc/partitions on this'n [22:11] TimeVirus: /proc/partitions is a text file, not an executable. Please pastebin the contents of /proc/partitions. [22:11] lol [22:11] oook [22:12] sorry [22:14] magichex: To be clear, please use 'q' to quit gdisk without saving, then run "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" and again answer '1' when asked to use current GPT, then run 'p' to confirm that your partitions show properly, then 'w' to save your partition table and exit (though you might want to pastebin the output after 'p' so that I can confirm everything looks right before you run 'w'). [22:15] Oh man - is it even possible to install bsddb185 anymore? pip install bsddb185 fails because it needs HASHVERSION=2, and the current install on ubuntu has a minimum of HASHVERSION=7 in /usr/include/db.h [22:15] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/iVMTmbJ6 [22:17] magichex: Looks good. 'w' and you should be done. [22:17] Jordan_U here it is http://pastebin.com/wZgxk1iX [22:17] anyone ? [22:17] Jordan_U: do i need to do anything else? [22:17] Jordan_U: do you accept tips in cryptocurency? [22:17] magichex: No, and no :) [22:17] lol :) [22:18] Jordan_U: thanks alot man !! you saved my day [22:18] magichex: Now, you really need to go buy another hard drive, or some blank DVDs, or some cloud storage, or *something* and back up all of the files that you care about. If you really can't find any way to back up everything, at least back up those things which you will miss the most or are small. [22:18] magichex: Not having backups was your biggest mistake here, not the typo with dd. [22:18] I need to run REAL soon Jordan_U I'm @ school for an Event [22:19] did you get my last? [22:19] http://pastebin.com/wZgxk1iX [22:19] wnna hash it over til next we meet? [22:20] quit [22:20] quit() [22:20] got about 5 mins remaining [22:20] sorry [22:20] TimeVirus: sudo file -sk /dev/sdc [22:20] exit [22:20] exit() [22:20] k [22:20] wtf how do I do this? [22:20] Ranieri_: /quit [22:20] Jordan_U: ty [22:22] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/c1RukCPm [22:23] Jordan_U do you see whats going on yet? === note is now known as n0te [22:23] TimeVirus: That looks good, so I don't know what's happening. Getting info about sdc from BIS might help, but I guess that will have to wait until next time. [22:23] K1L suggested I install GRUB to the internal [22:24] ok [22:24] thanks again for the help Jordan_U [22:24] I shall return [22:24] :) lol [22:24] TimeVirus: That's certainly an option, and would work, though you'd have to be careful as you probably don't want booting your internal drive to depend on the external drive being plugged in and visible to the BIOS. [22:24] I see [22:25] and youre right [22:25] ok I need to go [22:25] thanks again [22:34] i am getting a kernel panic while trying to install 14.10 live usb in uefi mode...can't seem to find a solution anywhere === MeltedLux is now known as MeltedDed [22:40] i [22:41] Hi i installed a script found the uninstaller and when i try to run it, it keeps aborting is there another way i can completley uninstall the program [22:44] Xodiac13: That depends entirely on the script, which is why it's generally recommended that you only install software via the package manager. [22:44] oh [22:45] i found the main folder and i tried to use the uninstaller aborts should i delete the main folder i want to compeltley remove it [22:45] Xodiac13: If you pastebin the entire install script, and the entire uninstall script, we may be able to help you get it uninstalled. [22:45] okay [22:46] http://pastebin.com/EDa0NfTP [22:46] oops thats the script to run it [22:47] not the installer one sec [22:49] the linux-installer.sh doesnt want to open === dae is now known as dae- [22:50] thats the only one i can open [22:50] Xodiac13: does it give you an error when you try and open it? [22:51] as soon as i run the uninstaller it crashes [22:51] i have the main folder the only other way would to delete the folder [22:52] Xodiac13: 'it crashes' is ambiguous. Pastebin the error content. Use http://paste.ubuntu.com so I don't have to get innundated with ads, if you can. [22:53] teward: were do i find the error in the terminal i try to run it? [22:53] Xodiac13: if the uninstaller 'crashes' and outputs some text, you may want to just include it. [22:53] if it does nothing and just says like "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", that's the error [22:53] teward: okay one sec [22:55] teward: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9106353/ [22:55] teward: thats all it says [22:57] Xodiac13: pretty sure the UT2004 installer just copies the files to a path, so just find out that path and delete it [22:57] daftykins: okay yeah that was the other solution i had i will do so ty [22:58] Xodiac13: some ppl here say sudo wasn't enough, they had to su - to root first [22:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-235395.html [22:59] hello [23:02] :( [23:02] Is it possible status message with bitlbee? [23:02] Or just chats? [23:07] if I want to use a GUI app over VNC, do I need to install ubuntu-desktop or is xvfb enough? === xubuntu is now known as Guest2348 [23:10] !info xvfb [23:10] xvfb (source: xorg-server): Virtual Framebuffer 'fake' X server. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 790 kB, installed size 2355 kB === slyrus_ is now known as slyrus [23:10] sounds like yes. [23:10] OerHeks: yes what? [23:11] bencc1: xvfb probably will go [23:11] bencc1: if not, then install xserverx-org, xinit and xterm [23:11] safinaskar: so I don't need ubuntu-desktop? [23:11] xvfb should do [23:11] those are dependencies, it will find them i guess [23:11] maybe the gui app will install dependencies automatically as well [23:11] bencc1: then type "startx" and you will get x server running with xterm, and run vnc client or server in it [23:12] I'll search for a docket ubuntu container that does all that as an example [23:12] someone probably done this before [23:12] that is one way, or tranfer a container indeed [23:13] bencc1: "maybe the gui app will install dependencies automatically as well" - yes. but gui app will not install x server as a dependency === anthony is now known as Guest62530 [23:13] safinaskar: ok [23:13] bencc1: so, you anyway should install "xserver-xorg" or "xvfb" manually [23:13] bencc1: and i personally recommend "xserver-xorg" (and xterm and xinit) and not xvfb [23:13] Why won't my laptop print? [23:14] it says completed (printed), but the printer not doing anything [23:14] is not doing anything* [23:14] safinaskar: what's the difference? [23:14] bencc1: because framebuffer is very hardware-dependent thing. and this is possible that framebuffer will not start at YOUR computer [23:14] AlexPortable, look in the printjobs [23:14] bencc1: xserver-xorg is standard thing. install it [23:14] OerHeks: it says it's completed [23:14] safinaskar: xserver-xorg will run on a server without a screen? [23:15] put paper in the printer [23:15] Hi, I'd like to know if there's any difference if I add Utopc repo and install from there this (http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/cairo-dock and this http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/cairo-dock-plug-ins) or if I install from here: http://glx-dock.org/mr_article.php?b=5&a=74 [23:15] bencc1: no [23:16] safinaskar: so that's probably what xvfb is for [23:16] safinaskar: tested it on a VPS and it worked but with full ubuntu-desktop [23:19] bencc1: well. let me make some points. "x client" is any gui app. "x server" is a program which can accept connections from x clients, i. e. x server is a program which provides a "screen", either real screen or virtual one. xserver-xorg is one of x servers. it is designed to be run on computer with real screen. and this program is the standard x server (among x servers designed for real screens). if you install ubuntu or kubuntu, it will contain xserver- [23:19] xorg as the x server. xserver-xorg is dependency of ubuntu-desktop [23:20] bencc1: and i don't know what this xvfb is [23:21] bencc1: terms "x server" and "x client" is somewhat misleading. let's imagine that you run some gui app on vps (i. e. remote computer) and this app connects to your screen at your home computer. then your home computer is "x server" and that remote computer is "x client". in this order === sins-_x is now known as sins- [23:24] safinaskar: from my understanding, xvfb is a virtual buffer instead of using a phsycal screen [23:24] so you could for example capture the screen from xvfb to a video file [23:24] Hi, I'd like to know if there's any difference if I add Utopc repo and install from there this (http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/cairo-dock and this http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/cairo-dock-plug-ins) or if I install from here: http://glx-dock.org/mr_article.php?b=5&a=74 [23:24] bencc1: ok, let's talk about vnc. if you remote control one computer from another, then controlled computer is vnc server and computer from which you do this control is vnc client [23:24] small tutor howto run firefox headless http://www.installationpage.com/selenium/how-to-run-selenium-headless-firefox-in-ubuntu/ and yes, you can capture [23:24] Linnak, What release are you running? [23:24] 14.04 [23:24] safinaskar: the remote computer need to have a real or fake screen? that's why I think xvfb is used [23:25] Linnak, Adding another's release repo is a bad idea. [23:25] bencc1: so vnc uses terminology which is somewhat reversed as opposed to x terminology. if you sit at some computer and see screen, then this is "x server" and not "x client". but if you sit at some computer and perform some remote controlling using vnc, then this is "vnc client" and not "vnc server" [23:26] Linnak, There is a cairo ppa if you have to have some release not in 14.04. [23:26] bubbasaures: Ok thanks. And what about this?http://glx-dock.org/mr_article.php?b=5&a=74 [23:26] so it isn't the same [23:26] I mean the two source [23:27] !info cairo-dock [23:27] cairo-dock (source: cairo-dock): Light and eye-candy dock to launch your programs (metapackage). In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.0-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 4 kB, installed size 47 kB [23:28] safinaskar: http://gpio.kaltpost.de/?page_id=84 [23:28] bencc1: there is two ways of using x and vnc together: 1) you use REAL x server (i. e. xserver-xorg) which requires real screen. then you start vnc server on the same host (lets call it A) where you started your x server. also, this host can contain some x apps, i. e. x clients. this vnc server connects to this x server. then you start vnc client on another computer (lets call it B) and connect to that vnc server. and of course, you need some x server on [23:28] this B, too [23:30] safinaskar: I don't have a real screen so there is no reason to explain about it [23:30] safinaskar: I asked about a vps without a screen :) [23:30] I just replaced my graphic card, trying to boot, I get cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available [23:30] graphics card* [23:31] bencc1: 2) you start the program which is x server and vnc server sumatuaesly (and please say me how to write this word correctly :)). this program doesn't need real screen. it virtualizes screen to provide remote control via vnc to it. this program is run on some host (A). same host can contain some x apps. then you connect to this vnc server using some vnc client from another host (B) [23:32] bencc1: so, now, using this terms (x server, x client, vnc server, vnc client, etc), please describe, what is your exact problem. what is your configuration? what computers you use and from which to which you want to connect/manipulate etc [23:32] safinaskar: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16296753/can-you-run-gui-apps-in-a-docker-container [23:32] that's what I need === slyrus_ is now known as slyrus [23:34] Is there any simple command to spawn a command 32 times? [23:35] alexw: why would you want to [23:35] nevermind worked out that supervisord handles it for me already [23:35] bencc1: i just have read xvfb description. yes, xvfb doesn't need real server. but it doesn't provide anyway to "see" x clients. i. e. it doesn't act as a vnc server, nor it doesn't provide any other access. so, you will not see your apps anyway. is it what you want or no? [23:36] bencc1: hmm, oops [23:36] safinaskar: this is the answer for what I need [23:36] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16296753/can-you-run-gui-apps-in-a-docker-container [23:37] what will be the next thing in 15.04? [23:37] what will be the next BIG thing in 15.04? [23:38] bencc1: yes, you probably can use xvfb and still have access to your apps. you just need to run vnc server and connect it to this xvfb :) yes, xvfb is solution [23:38] do you guys pefer firefox, chrome or chromium? i used to like firefox, but now i prefer chromium; too many issues with flash [23:39] chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic HappyNewYear13 [23:39] support for 15.04 in #ubuntu+1 HappyNewYear13 [23:39] thank u [23:41] alexw: for((I = 1; I <= 32; ++I)){ your cmd here; } [23:41] Anyone here know why chrome crashes my computer when trying to watch youtube videos? The whole screen turns black and freezes up [23:42] i think its a loose SATA connection [23:42] anyone had any issues with systemd complaining when a user logs in on the terminal in 14.10? Every time I login to the command line on tty1 it always spits out "systemd-login: Failed to start unit user@1000.service: Unknown unit: user@1000.service" and "systemd-login: Failed to start user service: unknown unit: user@1000.service" [23:42] and anyone know how to fix that? [23:43] slobby: bad drivers for video card [23:45] safinaskar: It plays 1080p videos on vlc just fine [23:45] something to do with flash im assuming [23:46] slobby: no, video card problems. if this was just a flash player / browser / etc issue, than as a maximum the browser crashed, but not the whole x server [23:47] slobby: as a workaround, you can download videos using youtube-dl and then play them is vl [23:47] slobby: vlc [23:50] kind of a bother though hehe [23:50] oh heres another reason i dont think its the driver....firefox works fine [23:52] How do I make the compiz login the default login for all users instead of unity? [23:53] slobby, try chromium and install pepperflash [23:53] Dr_Manhattan: unity is a compiz plugin. so that question doesnt make sense [23:53] hello i've recompiled the kernel from source (3.13.0.39) i've compared the initd.lz with the original one provided in the ubuntu repo, but in mine i've got more less modules. there is a way to get all modules like in the ubuntu initrd? [23:53] Yeah, it makes perfect sense. [23:54] I would like the compiz fallback login to be the default one instead of unity [23:54] HappyNewYear13: Chrome worked fine for a while and started doing it, then i switched to chromium and that worked fine then started doing it. I also tried pepperflash [23:54] glass: What do you mean like in the ubuntu initrd? [23:55] glass: Is it booting ok? [23:55] slobby, it occurs the opposite for me. flash crashes in firefox and not chromium, but i prefer to use firefox [23:56] How do I make the compiz fallback login the default login for all users instead of unity? [23:56] glass: What is it not doing? [23:56] slobby, i assume you have the latest flash? did you check it clicking on a vid? [23:56] glass: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/initrd.txt . there are commands to unpack and pack again this initrds in this link [23:57] acer: the initrd provided with the kernel in ubuntu repositories. yes it booting ok but i want include more modules [23:57] Dr_Manhattan: i think you are naming things wrong? or can you provide a link describing what you mean with compiz login? [23:57] HappyNewYear13 i have 15.0.0.223 installed [23:57] slobby, me too. did you disable hardware acceleration? [23:57] Dr_Manhattan: What ever Desktop Environment a user loggs in with will be default, until such time as he logs into another. [23:58] HappyNewYear13: nope [23:58] glass: why you need more modules? it boots, then all is ok (initrd is designed for booting only :)). you can load any modules you need after booting [23:58] when you log in, you click a little icon next to the slot for your name, it gives you a few choices. Compiz, gnome, fallback, etc [23:58] slobby, you could try it in the flash config [23:58] I would like to make the gnome compiz fallback the default login on my host [23:58] glass: That's not where you include more modules [23:58] Dr_Manhattan: is this 12.04? [23:58] this is 14.04 [23:59] safinaskar: yes i know, but i need to use it for a live cd which will be used on a different machines [23:59] slobby, you can go to chrome://plugins and see if there's only one flash version enabled
