[02:40] orlock, I hope I don't have to do any of that.... [02:40] or - do I need to do it from busybox console [02:41] WillW__: Nah, this was like, 10 years ago :) [02:41] WillW__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2038997 [02:43] WillW: this is what I was looking at - http://askubuntu.com/questions/272570/unable-to-install-ubuntu-on-lenovo-y500 [02:43] fyi [02:43] orlock, is that post up-to-date?

[02:52] orlock, my entire / is read only after mounting the iso and restarting my computer. I probably should have wrote that better. [02:52] OhneBrandon: Oh.. Bugger. [02:52] thats very odd then [02:53] check your mounts? not mounted ro? [02:53] Yeah, that's the first time it happened to me too. === doebama is now known as william_doe [02:53] i've seen that happen due to disk issues i think [02:53] but it normally bounces you to the file system check [02:53] It lets me log in and do everything that doesn't require writing to the disk. === memand is now known as Guest88338 [02:55] hello [02:56] I have a question [02:57] I have an answer.

[04:40] to try again w/ clean install [04:40] or - maybe I can get grub back to where it was?

I'm pretty sure I did change it back but I will double check [04:55] thanks for all your help [04:55] I actually can't remember for sure what it's set on right now [04:55] so I'll try that [04:57] orlock 100 mb pfffft, i used to run win 3.11 from my 20 mb hdd comodore laptop, i know bloatware when i see it [04:57] yeah, but thats win3.11 === XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater === zz_XeBlackWater is now known as XeBlackWater === Anoniem4l is now known as Anoniem4l`afk === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [05:15] gents, just ssh'd into my ubuntu rig and it's not letting me do ANYTHING mostly due to "read-only" file system.

[05:43] if I want to rsync but don't care at all about permissions - options -rvz are correct? [05:44] I don't know rsync that well, so I don't know.

[05:48] say it runs on port 8888 [05:48] jmadero: do you care about owner/group ownerships? [05:48] schultza: I don't want to preserve ownership - on my wife's computer she is owner of the files, on my computer, I am [05:49] that's why I think rvz is right, but I'm getting strange results [05:49] the client wants to http google.com, say, so how does that request get sent to the proxy server ? [05:49] how does the proxy server know you are trying to http get from google.com ? [05:49] what results? [05:50] schultza: so I did a small test 3 times - every time I see >f..T...... [05:50] which implies it's sending the file over and over again [05:50] after the first time it shouldn't say >f . . . . . . [05:50] as the file already exists in the target [05:51] -p is progress [05:51] schultza: yes I know [05:51] that is completely irrelevant lol [05:51] oh. no.. thats ... --progress [05:51] both are the same [05:51] rsync has short and long form options [05:51] k0nichiwa the browser sends the request to the proxy instead to the actual website, the the proxy retrieves the website and sends it back to the browser [05:52] Skipper17, but how does the proxy know you wanted to get from google.com ? [05:52] jmadero: use --delete ? [05:52] ...no [05:52] that's dangerous [05:52] I don't want to delete anything [05:52] sy i http://mysever.com:8888/google.com ? [05:52] the proxy know because the browser sends it to the proxy [05:52] Damn.. Spent last 2 days getting my ubuntu plex server setup perfectly... And bam new version drops lmfao [05:53] no [05:53] k0nichiwa: the browser behaves slightly differently when it knows it is using a proxy [05:53] the proxy server should just recieve the GET which doesnt say what the target ip is [05:53] it's worked before for me, i dont know what it's doing now [05:53] k0nichiwa: or you can have transparent proxies the browser doesnt know about [05:53] orlock is there a way i can just change what i type in my address bar to use the proxy ? [05:53] what might cause pulse to not see system sound device or USB headset? [05:54] http://mysever.com:8888/google.com ? no, it's be more like browser options > network > proxy > IP:Port [05:54] k0nichiwa: Depends on the proxy server, but if you are trying to bypass some sort of filter, google translate can be used as a quick and nasty method [05:54] k0nichiwa: but what skipper said really [05:54] its listing an HDMI output and digital output, but it doesn't see the normal audio out or the usb headset? [05:55] orlock, ive used google translator in that way [05:55] and bing and yandex and maybe baidu [05:56] <_Druid_> Hello, is possible to disable verbose mode (-v) if session is already started with ssh -v ? [05:56] im just trying to understand how ti works, say in case of transparent proxy [05:57] can you combine ssh tunneling with a a proxy like tinyproxy so that its transparent to the browser ? [05:58] transparent proxy > browser thinks it's talking to google ( for instance https://www.google.com/search?q=how+does+a+proxy+work ) but is actually talking to proxy ... [06:01] yes i was wondering if ssh tunneling could be set up along w/tinyproxy to accomplish that [06:02] oh well most browsers upport using a proxy so no matter i guess [06:03] by default does tinyproxy only accept connections from localhost ? [06:04] k0nichiwa can't say for sure, ssh tunneling can be used for lots of things but i'd put it more in the category of circumventing transparent proxy's [06:05] jus tlooke at the config, the default config fiel only allows localhost === Guest-3769 is now known as frayhehee [06:09] k0nichiwa never seen that conf but it is supposed to be not local only [06:09] Listen By default, Tinyproxy listens for connections on all available interfaces (i.e. it listens on the wildcard address 0.0.0.0). With this configuration parameter, Tinyproxy can be told to listen only on one specific address [06:11] change Listen 127.0.0.1 to Listen 0.0.0.0 === Guest-3924 is now known as fraytormenta [06:27] Can anyone recommend any applications for capturing http request contents from chrome?

[06:28] somsip: It doesnt seem to save subsequent request traffic, I need to log headers and form data over a series of requests [06:28] sgen_: maybe a http proxy with full logging, if there is such a thing [06:29] on my server i can do for tinyproxy curl -proxy1.0 127.0.0.1:8888 google.com and it works [06:29] sgen_: but are you trying to listen in to an existing chrome session, or just make requests to a website and log them? [06:29] i did ssh -f me@server.com -L 2001:server.com:8888 -N [06:29] somsip: make requests to a website and log them [06:30] but curl -proxy1.0 127.0.0.1:2001 google.com isnt working on the client [06:30] however ive used ssh tunneling to connect to the wev server on the serer as if i were local and that did work so ssh tunneling does work [06:32] sgen_: something like curl then.

[06:38] i guess ubuntu has Gnome 3.8 - 3.12 apps in their repos because they suck [06:39] electricprism: ubuntu has to apply their own patches over gnome apps and sometimes ,or more if you ask me, don't make it in time [06:39] Or fork them like gnome settings [06:47] Does 14.10 support qt5.3.1? http://askubuntu.com/questions/553467/how-build-against-qt-5-3-1 [06:47] !info qt [06:47] Package qt does not exist in utopic [06:49] !info qttools5-dev [06:49] qttools5-dev (source: qttools-opensource-src): Qt 5 tools development files.

So you may need to look for a PPA === b4rbz is now known as Dopagod [06:51] somsip: ok. Yes it looks like most of the qt5 components are using qt5.3.0.

[07:15] since ssh tunnel is supposed to make tcp to local port magically same as tcp to the target port origintaing on the target machien [07:15] and given ive tested it is working on the target machine by doig a curl --proxy localhost:8888 google.com o the remote machine [07:15] i cant figure it out [07:18] the number of tiny proxy proceses grows and grows it seems to start another oevery 5 seonds or something [07:18] but i dont see a problem w/the config file [07:26] Hey guys, my server closes the socket to a client. if the client sends a message on the socket within 60 seconds after going into close wait, my server will reply with a reset packet, but if the client sends message on the socket after 60 seconds of going into close wait, then my server won’t send any packet responses at all. Can someone help me explain this behavior? I thought it was related to the fin_timeout, but it doesn’t seem to be related [07:29] bhahn: fin_timeout only applies after closing a connection, you're running into the normal tcp timeout [07:30] so my server’s tcp stack has a timeout (60 seconds) during which it will reply to messages on that socket with a reset, but after the timeout, it well reply with nothing? [07:31] *it won’t reply at all? [07:41] This morning my trusty tahr rebooted itself on its own (I wasn't looking). Highly annoying. I thought it was only Windows doing crap like that.

I don't have time to mess with multiple distros at the moment. Since I actually work on this platform. [08:15] gokr: okay :) [08:15] Silenced: There are lots of "good" distros.

[08:15] hello karab44 [08:15] guys I am struggling a problem [08:15] mjayk: Indeed. Especially if you to the deep end with source distros :) [08:15] whats the problem karab44 [08:16] with 14.04 from time to time ubuntu doesn't detect my secondary ssd [08:16] gokr: i cant get over how stable fast and compatable this ubuntu 14.04 is im itching to break it === Silenced is now known as Silenced|afk [08:16] it isn't visible in df -h and sudo fdisk -l [08:16] mjayk: Done. Thanks. I just had to change "echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness" [08:16] karab44: how is your ssd configured is it just plugged into a sata port ? [08:16] mjayk: You feel its much better than 12.04? [08:17] mjayk: yes it is just plugged into it. [08:17] I have it encrypted [08:17] mjayk: Cause I can't say I feel much difference, although I am not pushing it perhaps. [08:17] gokr: personally yes although that just might be me enjoying the stability and the ability to get actual work done when 12.04 was out i didnt have much else to do but mess [08:18] karab44: does it show under lsblk ? [08:18] mjayk: But I agree, ever since I "got over" Unity and just accepted it - its been smooth sailing generally. [08:18] mjayk: actually it doesn't show there === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [08:18] mjayk: Did play with ideas of other UIs but then... ah, what the heck, this is what is going to be standard so just biting the bullet. [08:19] gokr: im on gnome atm [08:19] when should i ask a question on ubuntuforums vs askubuntu [08:19] mjayk: I generally don't use the "UI" much, just tons of terminal windows :) [08:19] hey all, I'm having a strange issue, twice now on a brand new Ubuntu install, the hard drive light is solid, no remote access, no keyboard response, yet it pings, anything to check? [08:19] karab44: does it show in the bios at all ? [08:20] gokr: i found that when i use two monitors for presentations etc i prefer the way gnome works, purley personal preference [08:20] mjayk: I don't know. I can't define it. I can't be in bios and in the system at the same time. [08:21] just like I said. Once it works once it doesn't [08:21] karab44: thats correct however its something you need to check as to determine if its a configuration problem or a dead drive [08:21] Probably when I reboot my PC it will start work [08:21] mjayk: dead drive? It's brand new ssd [08:21] mjayk: Presentations... yeah... well, I am not sure, what's the difference? The last year I haven't done much presentations. [08:21] mjayk: Did a lot earlier, but right now I am busy coding :) [08:22] mjayk: so what should I check? [08:22] karab44: if it displays in bios i would [08:22] gokr: the second display doesnt change when you change virtual desktops by default in gnome its just a few little things that i like. Do enjoy unity aswell though [08:23] mjayk: A developer too? [08:23] mjayk: but does it have any sense when I restart my PC and it will appear in BIOS? Like I just said it works in most of the time. I've booted it today and I don't see it, For 99 percent after simply restarting my PC disk will appear. [08:24] gokr: I do some maily for my own use in scientific programs [08:24] karab44: sounds like a hardware problem if its intermitent (?) checked the connection is tight ? [08:25] karab44: Nothing to be seen in dmesg? [08:25] mjayk: Nobody is moving 20kg PC around the room [08:26] gokr: what info should I look for? [08:26] errors? [08:27] karab44: you dont have to be moving it around a room for a wobbly connection to come loose [08:27] how can i detect that the 'Home' key was released? [08:27] Well, stuff it says about it. I see stuff about my Samsung SSD in dmesg. [08:27] owen1: what was the outcome of looking into xev? [08:28] karab44: dmesg | grep SSD === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [08:28] karab44: Is it an intel? I hate Intel SSDs. [08:28] gokr dmesg | grep ata shows no secondary drive [08:29] gokr: it's sandisk ultra II 960GB [08:29] somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9222819/ [08:29] karab44: Good :) [08:29] somsip: not sure what to do with that info (; [08:29] karab44: So its not even mentioned in dmesg? [08:29] it's not there [08:30] but let me reboot and it will be there I believe [08:30] I think it can be BIOS issue [08:30] owen1: it tells you the keycode. That's what you said you wanted yesterday. What environment are you needing to detect this in? [08:30] karab44: You might want to save dmesg somewhere and compare them [08:31] But I have other issues as well. In example when I don't use PC for a day or two, after that break my PC boots to video-fail-safe mode. [08:31] after restarting it - it goes back to normal [08:32] karab44: so you have two hardware issues - one for SSD and one for video card? Could it be a dying mobo? [08:32] somsip: in a bash script [08:32] somsip: i think i can use xinput but not sure how [08:32] and I can restart or turn it off and on whole day long and it's not reproducing more again untill the another two day break. [08:32] somsip: I don;t think so... [08:33] somsip: i saw someone that doing this: while xinput query-state | grep -Flq 'key[9]=up' but not sure what should i put instead of key 9 [08:33] it's more driver's or kernel issue [08:33] owen1: and that's why I told you to use xev yesterday - it tells you the keycode for home [08:34] somsip: right, but i don't see a keycode here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9222819/ [08:34] karab44: I think that's a bad assumption to make, but it's your call [08:34] if the problem is not consistnet its unlikley to be a kernel problem karab44 more likley hardware [08:35] you suggest me X99 on old 3.13 kernel works flawlessy perfect? [08:35] owen1: that output doesn't seem to show you pressing a key. The code is 110 when I use xev FWIW [08:35] I have no similiar issues on windows 8, explain that. [08:36] karab44: not sure; might be useful next time to include all the info at the start [08:36] karab44: ah - adding information that relates to the problem. Always helpful. [08:36] somsip: so let's assume for a minute that 110 is the keycode for home. how do i detect release of that key within bash? [08:37] just ask, because I don't have much experience in similiar investigations. [08:37] somsip: i assume it's a while loop with grep. but not sure about the exact syntax [08:38] let me reboot the os [08:38] karab44: generally for future reference include all info regarding the problem at the start then we dont waste time. So it works in windows all the time [08:38] owen1: if you do not get a 'key not being pressed' event, you probably need to set a flag when it is pressed then poll until that event ends. If you get my drift [08:38] well figured out my issue, for no appearnt reason Firefox & Plugin-Container randomly use up all the memory until the PC decides to freeze [08:38] mjayk: so far yes but I spend 99percent of my time on ubuntu. [08:39] the second thing is that even on ubuntu it's just 1 on 10 cases that something fails so it's hard to say anything. [08:39] so it could be that because the problem is intermitent you dont notice it not working in windows because you dont use it alot [08:39] can you pastebin your dmesg [08:39] mjayk: yes, so far yes. [08:40] might be something in there [08:40] easy question: what is the "Web Content" process? [08:40] somsip: do u know the correct syntax for that loop? while xinput query-state | grep -Flq 'key[110]=up' i don't know if key is even the correct name. [08:40] mjayk: I haven't find any errors but I can't see the drive as well... [08:40] owen1: no I don't [08:40] ok. np [08:40] thanks1 [08:41] mjayk: http://www.pasteall.org/55343 [08:44] owen1: looks like xinput list will help you with the device name. Try these: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/xinput.1.html http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/129159/record-every-keystroke-and-store-in-a-file [08:45] karab44: and you only have sda and sdb where sdb is the one that doesnt work [08:45] mjayk: true is that [08:45] somsip: reading. thanks! [08:45] so it sees a removable drive there [08:45] if sda didn't work I wouldn't be here ;) [08:46] id hope you could find a way here if it didnt [08:46] and i was making sure sdb wasnt a usb drive you plugged in [08:46] yeah, there are other ways to do that [08:47] mjayk: sdb is SSD sandisk ultra II 960G [08:47] it's sata III 6GBs interface [08:47] of course it has hotplug but I don't use it [08:49] I Found something 6.037224] lpc_ich: Resource conflict(s) found affecting gpio_ich === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [08:50] oh it's probably nothing...

[09:01] when it comes to seg fault you can read out of the memory space [09:01] karab44: not always, and it depends [09:02] karab44: and that doesn't mean it's a bug - that could be something to do with your specific hardware config [09:02] so in general anyone who know hows how to write an exaploit can access secured range of memory/ i'e root shell [09:02] karab44: I'd advise not logging a bug for something you don't really understand [09:02] cfhowlett the error reads " mirror does not support the specified release (trusty)" even though I'm using the 14.04 version of Minimal Ubuntu [09:02] karab44: thats not true, [09:02] allstarsnorks2, test by switching to main mirror [09:03] ikonia: I won't discuss it here.

[09:06] ok so what about my drive? [09:07] karab44: "write safe code" is so ambiguous i really don't think that belongs here - unless you're talking about the kernel level? which i doubt [09:07] kernel is interesting case, yes [09:09] dudes [09:09] it's really easy to use libfreetype in any app and catch stock pointer and play it around until you break out. It's time consuming but relatively easy. [09:09] brb [09:11] what do firefox users do to get adobe flash to work correctly while using its latest version? [09:12] ok I restarted my PC and sandisk is with me now [09:12] how to explain that? [09:13] karab44: dodgy hardware. My video card dies about twice a week unless I open the case, wobble it, then reboot. Hence my earlier suggestion. [09:13] which channel is best to discuss vivid issues? [09:13] HappyNewYear13, install flashplugin-installer, it will get you flash 11.2.202.41 [09:13] themusicgod1: #ubuntu+1 [09:13] karab44: any part of the desktop / dependencies used to mount failed [09:13] themusicgod1, #ubuntu+1 [09:13] thx [09:13] you had a segfault on one app, others may have crashed too [09:13] (as a random guess) [09:14] somsip: i see 'key release 110' but when i add the xbindkeys to trigger mousedown when home is pressed, i don't get the 'key release 110' [09:14] ikonia: may be true but it's not anywhere in dmesg [09:14] karab44: dmesg doesn't catch everything [09:14] karab44: it depends on what crashed and why [09:14] OerHeks, are you happy with having version 11.2 instead of 15? do you use firefox? === zz_XeBlackWater is now known as XeBlackWater [09:14] ikonia: but should catch SSD drivers, right? Just like it does second time - I mean now. [09:15] karab44: who said it's ssd drivers ? [09:15] there are no "drivers" for ssd disks [09:15] owen1: with what you describe, you should get key pressed when a key is pressed, not key release. Or maybe key release is not an event and you have to poll for 'key no longer being pressed' [09:15] so how it works then? Magic does the job? [09:15] karab44: no, === Schnabel- is now known as Schnabeltierchen === root is now known as Guest30947 [09:16] HappyNewYear13, 15 wtf that's win/mac osx only, 11.2 latest on linux [09:16] somsip: i always see 'key press 110'. the release is the tricky one [09:17] I tought all my life that kernel or kernel modules contains some drivers to make hw work but I see I was wrong... [09:17] karab44: the mounting of the disk (and especially in the desktop) is made up of many components [09:17] if one of them crashed/hung it can stop the auto mounting of the disk [09:17] owen1: enter loop that checks for 'key being pressed' and exit when condition is false [09:17] (just an easy example) [09:17] HappyNewYear13, adobe dropped support for linux-flash, 11.2 is the latest. [09:18] * only bugs will be repaired [09:18] ikonia: that is right but It's not even detected by the kernel so it can't be mount when it's not even conscious the drive is there [09:18] mounted* [09:18] karab44: again - that could be many things [09:19] ikonia: of course I do not exclude bios or disk itself yet [09:19] HappyNewYear13, pepperflash for chromium/chrome is the newer ppapi version see .https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [09:19] I had some similiar problems when I was using my current primary drive - the firmware was an issue that causes BSODS [09:20] it was there after many many fw updates [09:20] but it's finally stable [09:20] gr33n7007h, OerHeks there's a "fresh player plugin" to run version 15 on firefox but im having problems, but it should work for most: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html [09:20] can I set the kernel to some verbose printing? [09:21] karab44: verbose printing ??? [09:21] karab44: what are you trying to achieve ? [09:21] HappyNewYear13, freshplayerplugin is not supported here, seems like a hack [09:22] look for some errors related [09:22] karab44: errors related to what ? [09:22] to disappearance of my drive [09:22] they will have already gone [09:22] and the kernel is quite verbose anyway [09:22] you seem to be assuming it's a kernel problem [09:22] OerHeks, it's really good [09:22] no I assume that kernel prints may help [09:23] sorry no [09:23] this appears to be random approach to a non-existant problem (at this moment in time) [09:23] so where should I start then? [09:23] HappyNewYear13, so you answered your own issue, good. [09:23] karab44: I would wait for the problem to happen again [09:23] then evaluate your system at that point in time [09:24] probably tomorrow. It happens when PC awakes... really. It lives it's own life [09:24] OerHeks, i wanted to know if firefox users do something else to get version 15 running [09:24] I mean I don't suspend the system, I turn the power off. [09:24] HappyNewYear13, there is no offical way to get flash15 for linux. [09:25] OerHeks, some sites dont work correctly with flash 11.2. nd i don't like chromium/chrome [09:26] why did adobe do that? (stopping support for linux?) i bet they use linux machines to run their servers and develop their shit [09:27] HappyNewYear13, ask adobe - their decision, not ubuntu [09:27] cfhowlett, as if they would reply to me [09:36] I am back with some news! [09:36] http://pasteall.org/pic/80401 [09:36] now this [09:37] but this is still not related to my secondary SSD [09:37] it's related to my primary SSD :) [09:37] any helpful hand would be priciated [09:47] ya [09:53] well?

[10:27] Ben64: debian stable [10:27] martapy: well then you should head to #debian and ask them [10:28] martapy: i have the same problem as you [10:28] I had kernel panic [10:28] Ben64: okay thanks. [10:28] pringles, then you should do the same :-) [10:31] give the kernal some xanax and it will stop panicing [10:32] #ubuntu-offtopic [10:39] You can get the latest flash player for firefox on linux with fresh player plugin [10:39] you can't [10:39] flash has stopped developing from linux [10:39] anything else is not from adobe [10:40] . [10:40] Bakerbart, if you point to http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html it is just a hack, with known issues too [10:40] That's what I meant [10:41] I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a good solution === JacobM27 is now known as bitstring === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [10:45] .

[10:54] I have just installed ubuntu 14.04 but firefox doesn't start, the icon start to blink but the app doesn't start [10:54] karab44: reboot [10:54] karab44, did you give the kernel some xanax? [10:55] It says soft stuck cpu [10:55] SnuskGubben: please don't make silly comments, if you can't of help - don't [10:55] karab44: it doesn't say that [10:55] karab44: it says it can't find your root disk [10:55] Ikonia I had another one [10:56] sounds like you have hardware problems then [10:56] segfaults and kernel panics normally = hardware [10:56] I'm guessing your looking at a line that says "softlock on cpu" [10:56] ikonia, i'm sorry. [10:56] SnuskGubben: no problem [10:56] Doesn't happen on windows [10:56] karab44: doesn't mean anything [10:56] karab44: possible incompatible hardware though [10:57] if you want to approach it from windows work / linux doesn't point of view [10:57] But I moved my ssd from old PC to new one. So it's old system [10:57] any help? [10:57] karab44: that means nothing and has no impact [10:57] Old system with new he configuration [10:57] tirengarfio: open a terminal, type "firefox" and see what happens [10:57] karab44: again means nothing [10:58] Well it is hasewell-e on x99 so quite new and very different [10:58] karab44: again - means nothing [10:59] It means a lot [10:59] I can't in example install sli [10:59] it doesn't [10:59] But on fresh 14.10 I can [10:59] karab44: sli has nothign to do with anything you've said [10:59] karab44: please focus on the real issue rather than random examples to try to score points [11:00] I try to use some logic here [11:00] Hi guys. How do I find out amount of data my ubuntu box uses from internet in a time period? [11:00] karab44: and your logic is failing [11:00] so focus on the problem [11:00] When I don't have enough proves [11:00] karab44: pardon ? [11:00] ajayaa: you can use bwm-ng to keep a running total [11:00] Why failing? You can't prove that [11:00] ikonia: it says could not create gnome accelerators directory /home/tirengarfio/.gnome2/accels : Permission denied [11:01] karab44: I've suggested base reasons, you need to investigate and not make assumptions [11:01] tirengarfio: ok,sounds like you've run firefox as root at some point and messed up the permissions [11:01] Right but I want to start at some place [11:01] karab44: what have you done so far ? [11:02] Ben64, Thank you. [11:02] I checked the connections and slot matching under the hood [11:02] software center does not have "install" option it has "use this source" ?? [11:03] I have bios boot loader. Can I switch it to efi? [11:03] I had some time ago hw fails because of fastboot on old hw [11:04] karab44: what seems unlikely as a problem [11:04] karab44: if your machine is booting - then efi should not be a problem [11:04] It does booting [11:05] But without disk from time to time [11:05] so that suggests hardware [11:05] (from a basic level) [11:05] Nice case for long winter evenings [11:06] OK I switch to w8 for 2 weeks. If it reproduces than I'll blame the hw [11:07] I have no choice [11:07] I've tested all known Linux benchmarks and diagtools [11:07] So far [11:08] Ben64, It only gives the bandwidth. I need total data transferred through a interface. [11:08] ajayaa: it does that too [11:08] karab44, some ssd's need new firmware, did you check that? [11:08] Yes [11:09] Ben64, I can't seem to find that in --help. I will dig further. :) [11:09] ajayaa: do you see where it says "press 'h' for help" [11:09] yes [11:09] Ben64 ^ [11:09] press 'h' for help [11:10] hi guys [11:10] every time i boot lubuntu appears: problem detected :/usr/sbin/samba, i've lubu 14.04, what should i do? thanks [11:13] Ben64, It was a bit counter intuitive but I got it finally. 't' does it. [11:14] hi, i am mounting nfs4 export on ubuntu, and noticed that when copying files using cp im losing the nfs4 acls, after some googling i saw that cp -p uses a different system call for getting the acl, is there anyway to make cp aware of nfs4 acls?

[11:16] My maas cluster master dont see any of its interfaces [11:19] after googling I found that it can be resolved by using this command "sudo apt-get update " but for every repository it shows failed to fetch ,some index files failed to be download ,old ones used instead [11:20] r_a_X: pastebin the error(s) === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [11:25] install dnscrypt, yes/no?

I can't even bring up Terminal by doing a Ctrl+Alt+T How can I restore the Compiz Libraries. I would appreciate any help. [11:39] DrDroid: it would help if you specify how you "disabled the Compiz libraries" [11:39] DrDroid: how exactly did you "disable" them? [11:40] DrDroid: and you can always get a VT with CTRL+ALT+F2 (CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back), just in case of you needing a terminal [11:40] Fuchs: I went into Compiz manager and disabled Compiz from there. [11:40] Oh so that's how you get back [11:41] DrDroid: I assume you mean ccsm. You can start that from said VT, just go there (CTRL+ALT+F2), run DISPLAY=:0 compiz, CTRL+ALT+F7, enable what you need [11:42] I've tried the CTRL+ALT+F7 but I need the correct commands to restore it. [11:42] For that you'd need to tell us how exactly you broke it, [11:43] I'll try that Fuchs. [11:43] if really only by deselecting stuff in compiz-manager (ccsm), then I gave you the needed command.

[13:00] details [13:00] cf the comp boots but fails to read the drive, it’s something wrong with the process of putting things on the drive [13:01] !md5sum | medecau, verify your .iso and USB [13:01] medecau, verify your .iso and USB: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:01] medecau, also what year is your MB? [13:01] I was able to get debian in the target comp but I feel miserable editing files to get a working computer and am defaulting to ubuntu to get past the nightmare of yak shaving [13:02] I am trying to setup a network scanner from an HP all in one device but it is not being recognized. Are there any instructions or documentation about hp scanners/all in one devices. I am on 14.04 LTS [13:02] MB is 4,1 from early 2008 [13:02] !mac | medecau, might be a different process = read the wiki [13:02] medecau, might be a different process = read the wiki: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [13:02] oh md5 is a good idea, didn’t thhink of that [13:04] good moring all [13:04] old wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro4-1 [13:08] hi all [13:08] I'm back [13:08] well, I sorted out some of my past issues with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS installation over a full encrypted disk in manual style [13:09] now I have a new problem [13:09] system won't boot, cause the installer wasn't smart enough to understand my setup and create a proper grub.cfg file [13:10] my problem now is, how I should fix it in order to make system boot? [13:11] well, passing "cryptdevice=/dev/sdaX:MyLVM" on the kernel command line wasn't enough [13:11] my setup is LVM on top of a LUKS device [13:12] OerHeks: mine’s not an MB pro just vanilla MB but thanks [13:12] I tried to chroot via live installer to fix it, but regenerating the config file wasn't sufficient [13:13] still stuck there, system won't boot (after few moment I'm back in an emergency shell [13:13] ) [13:13] I have problems with Ubuntu 5 or 6 months ago, My problem is that the apps get crashed, overall firefox and thunderbird, I get problems also with virtual machines in Virtual Box. Sometimes the Ubuntu get frozen also. I have reinstalled Ubunutu twice and checked the md5sum. I have also change the harddisk and the ram memory. What else can I do? Could be a problem with the motherboard or processor. Im getting crazy.. [13:14] tirengarfio, read your system logs [13:14] where are they? [13:14] @tirengarfio I'm dealing a very similar issue with a friend's computer, looks like you have either a faulty PSU or some bad capacitors on the mobo [13:14] or perhaps something more serious [13:15] psu? what is that? [13:15] Power Supply Unit, your computer power source [13:15] medecau, this is the most recent wiki - should work with 14.04.1 [13:16] yes, that could be!! sometimes the computer shut down by its own, and restart by its own again [13:16] jacco: [13:16] medecau, note: rEFIT has been replaced by rEFIND [13:16] what should I do? what is the relation between the crashing and the power supply?????? [13:17] so, I was looking at the local mirrors for ubuntu and found a problem, contacted the admins and they pointed out that it is coming from upstream. [13:17] an aging/faulty PSU maybe not able to supply enough current to your system, making it unstable [13:17] You might want to know about this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ [13:17] medecau, back down to 12.04 = still supported [13:17] it works [13:17] similar basis applies to bad capacitors on the motherboard [13:19] also, some cheap PSUs tend to have voltage/current fluctuations very often [13:19] But I didn't have these problems when I bought the computer, what should I do then jacco buty another power supply? [13:19] check your current PSU warranty state: if it is in warranty, go to the shop where you bought it and ask a replacement [13:20] hi, i want to auto add a repo but i do something wrong with my command this is what i do : sudo add-apt-repository : deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib [13:20] otherwise, contact the PSU manufacturer (if it is from a serious manufacturer) and ask it [13:20] !webmin | theptr webmin is explicitly advised against and NOT SUPPORTED here. you're on your own [13:20] theptr webmin is explicitly advised against and NOT SUPPORTED here. you're on your own: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [13:21] ubottu, i have to use it for school so i have no option [13:21] theptr: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === matheus is now known as Guest96215 === matheus_ is now known as Guest67340 [13:21] when I use my cd player to rip a cd it puts linux into an unstable state. I start getting "Bus error" when I do "ls" on the hard drive for example [13:21] jacco thank you very much, I will do that [13:22] no worries my friend [13:26] lesshaste: post your /var/log/syslog to see at the errors on pastebin [13:27] solsTiCe, I suppose I will need to find old versions of this? I have to actually turn the computer off at the wall for get out of the proble [13:27] m [13:27] ok [13:27] ah ok.. I found where they live. OK I will do this when i can log back in (it's not here now) [13:28] thanks [13:28] the problem is still there after a reboot ? [13:28] guys, I have to go [13:28] bb all [13:28] see ya [13:28] solsTiCe, on one occasion it didn't seem to come back up fully after a soft reboot [13:28] solsTiCe, maybe it would have done if I had had more patience [13:29] it has to repair ext4 damage too [13:31] well you better avoid using your cd ripper then. It seems to come from the module or the kernel [13:34] solsTiCe, ok.. so you don't think this would be caused by some hardware problem? [13:34] solsTiCe, I built the machine myself :) [13:35] it would of course be nice if linux were robust in any case === hackeron_ is now known as hackeron [13:39] my volume is maxed out after every reboot, how do i fix this ? [13:40] phaenon: Try this, pacmd set-sink-volume 0 32768 [13:40] That last number is your default volume [13:41] what would teoretically happen if i upgrade libglib2.0 from 2.26.1 to 2.31.8 on ubuntu 10.10 ? [13:41] 32k is max, so for half that i would use 16384 ? [13:41] It seems so [13:41] lesshaste: Are the CD drive and the hard disk connected on the same physical interface, such as being primary and slave devices on a single IDE PATA channel? [13:41] rebooting [13:41] TJ-, I wil check. If they are , what should I do? [13:42] DFeniks: it will make trouble all the way. just install a clean supported ubuntu like 12.04 or 14.04 since you seem to not want to upgrade that often [13:43] lesshaste: If they are it would explain the kernel error you're seeing - both devices using the same bus at the same time causing errors might suggests that the devices don't have their jumpers set correctly so one is master and the other slave, or that both device aren't set to use "cable select" [13:43] hi everyone! is there a way to repair my usb filesystem witch contain all my files. [13:43] TJ-, thanks! It is very likely I didn't set something correctly [13:43] ? [13:43] yutuyutu: What needs repairing [13:43] TJ-, should they both be master? [13:44] lesshaste: If they aren't both on the same interface/channel then that stuff won't matter, unless there are other devices also on those interfaces. IF they're SATA devices then none of that applies [13:44] RobodudeMC, aint working .. tnx anyway [13:44] i run ubuntu live 14.10 and i work with initramfs [13:44] phaenon: Hmm... [13:44] lesshaste: On a single IDE PATA channel, with 2 devices, one must be master and the other slave. If both are set to "cable select" instead they'll figure it out for themselves [13:44] RobodudeMC, its just after reboot, when i press any of the vol buttens, the volume corrects itself. [13:44] i guess i will try to find if i can install nvidia-96 and maybe old x server and old kernel (if needed) on my 14.04 (i think it was 04) install then [13:45] phaenon: What version of ubuntu are you running? [13:45] lesshaste: With one device on a channel then it should be master or 'cable select' [13:45] 14.04lts gnome [13:45] or maybe i will try all other video drivers maybe some will work normally [13:45] TJ-, thanks! I'll take a look and see what sort of mess i made :) [13:46] DFeniks: try the opensource nvidia driver [13:46] phaenon: Do you have a dedicated sound card? [13:47] shut [13:47] #ubuntuindonesia [13:47] RobodudeMC, lemme check [13:51] can i use fsck on my usb drive with problems on initramfs? [13:52] zz === Donskoy is now known as Pharoah_Hound [13:52] hello folks, been bashing my head against this all day. I set up samba shares a while back and wanted to add one more today, well my smb.conf doesnt seem to contain any of the share info and it wasnt set with nautalus.. the old shares work but i cant figure out where to alter em! help! [13:55] hi guy [13:55] what did this color ? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/80412 [13:57] !it | michele993 [13:57] michele993: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[13:59] http://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/ [13:59] michele993: use a tool to select a point on the image and get the color code from it [14:00] no i want to know [14:00] what do this choose of color [14:00] i'm sorry you don't make sense [14:00] like this http://pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com/photo-editing/neutral-gray/photoshop-color-sampler-tool.gif [14:00] in aspect of ubunt [14:00] I'm having a big trouble since I updated my ubuntu this morning [14:01] I get this message: The system is running in a low-graphics mode [14:01] the only way to get it running is to remove all the nvidia drivers [14:01] hello folks, been bashing my head against this all day. I set up samba shares a while back and wanted to add one more today, well my smb.conf doesnt seem to contain any of the share info and it wasnt set with nautalus.. the old shares work but i cant figure out where to alter em! help! [14:01] but this isn't an option, as I'm working on graphics programming [14:02] oh my god where is ins [14:02] xD [14:02] warped-coder: sounds like you installed nvidia drivers downloaded from the website before [14:02] nope [14:02] instead of packages [14:02] on my keyboard [14:02] I installed them from the additional drivers [14:02] michele993: it's you michele_ ? [14:02] yes [14:02] ah [14:02] warped-coder: is this a laptop? [14:02] you remember kworker [14:02] xD [14:02] yeah :D [14:03] daftykins: yep, xps 15 [14:03] help i don't found ins [14:03] warped-coder: nvidia optimus setup then? [14:03] when i write the text [14:03] daftykins: not what I'm aware of (this is a custom installed ubuntu, not coming from dell) [14:03] michele993: It'll be the "insert" key, probably next to the home/delete/end keys [14:03] daftykins: I thought it is too much hassle at the moment to install it [14:03] warped-coder: optimus is when you see both intel on-die graphics and the nvidia chip from "lspci" [14:04] ooh tahnks [14:04] daftykins: let me check [14:04] shift +0 [14:04] thanks a lot [14:04] DJones :D [14:04] michele993: You're welcome [14:04] michele993: you want to make a screenshot?

[14:06] warped-coder: and what version are you on? [14:07] michele993: ah === kerosene is now known as UltimateHodor [14:07] daftykins: Ubuntu 14.10, nvidia-331-updates (i tried with just nvidia-current/current-updates/331) [14:08] daftykins: I didn't install anything regarding the intel driver (they apparently don't have support for 14.10) [14:08] warped-coder: yeah you need to install nvidia-prime along with it [14:08] michele993: i think if you choose the wall paper as a color only that's the color of the background [14:08] daftykins: ok, i'll give it a go [14:09] daftykins: it says I already have it [14:09] warped-coder: you might want to run: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* [14:09] michele993: hold on [14:10] daftykins: that's how I tried the previous installations, but it didn't work [14:10] daftykins: but I'll try it again [14:11] daftykins: however, after removing the nvidia drivers, the system becomes so sluggish as if there was no graphics acceleration at all [14:12] daftykins: which driver do you suppose I should install? [14:12] warped-coder: there probably won't be, it'll be running on the intel only - *but* optimus setups don't use the nvidia chip for the desktop i don't think. [14:12] michele993: see this http://eeee.bshellz.net/Appearance_029.png [14:12] michele993: you have to select Colors & Gradients, and select one of them [14:13] i think that's what that box is for in your pic [14:13] daftykins: don't think it is running on any acceleration at all, or windows is much better on intel than unity === OLi is now known as Guest48350 [14:13] daftykins: right, so I removed all nvidia drivers/packages. what next? [14:13] warped-coder: i can't comment on intel in 14.10 - i know nothing about it. [14:13] warped-coder: fresh boot [14:13] hi [14:16] ok, so after reboot I have some decent speed (probably previously I didn't restart after removing the NVIDIA packages), so it's probably running on Intel [14:16] daftykins: ok, so after reboot I have some decent speed (probably previously I didn't restart after removing the NVIDIA packages), so it's probably running on Intel [14:17] Sup all :) [14:17] Hi daftykins [14:17] daftykins: oh my, now it's just frozen as it is [14:17] k2gremlin: o/ [14:19] I've restored old ubuntu image and it's so far so good.

[14:38] warped-coder: i know that too... the next step is trying to install prime again :) [14:38] daftykins: so, what does the procedure says to do next? [14:38] daftykins: just prime? [14:38] daftykins: like, apt-get install nvidia-prime? [14:38] daftykins, if you remember from yesterday, I did end up getting past my efi problems by installing with efi mode set in bios. however, after an apparently successful install, was not able to boot ubuntu - put a rundown of my new issues here if you don't mind taking a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254100 [14:39] warped-coder: no i don't know if that'll pull in the appropriate packages... you can run it and pastebin it without agreeing if you like [14:39] Freddy__: if you're still on hardy, i'd suggest just backing up your data and re-installing... too many version-upgrades required IMO [14:40] can "dd" accept an input file from stdin? [14:40] !lucid | Freddy__, [14:40] Freddy__,: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues.

[14:40] daftykins: ok === Guest26838 is now known as GoTheuS === cal is now known as Guest66051 [14:41] zykotick9: ok - I have to have a lucid, though - to backup via rdiff-backup from a lucid machine ... [14:41] ralph4100: do you recall if it had the black boot screen at first? [14:41] black and white text menu [14:41] Freddy__: i see. well, see info above about EOL updating then. good luck. [14:42] daftykins: by at first do you mean my first attempt at booting after install? [14:42] ralph4100_: no, when booting installation media [14:42] or do you mean before I end up in busybox/intramfs? [14:42] zykotick9: ubottu thanx [14:43] daftykins: when I startup I get a lenovo logo for a sec, then the grub menu, then a blank purple screen for a while until it shifts to busybox/intramfs [14:43] daftykins: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233424 [14:43] daftykins: brb [14:44] doing a "unzip -p myzipfile.zip | dd if=- of=/dev/sdc" doesn't accept stdin as input. is there another way ? [14:44] Interesting, my plex server dropped from 12watts idle to around 3 watts idle after the update I did to it this morning lol [14:44] warped-coder: yeah i wouldn't have installed it there, i think it needs partnering up with a driver as per a guide online (maybe try nvidia-319) [14:45] k2gremlin: this isn't a channel for off topic chat i'm afraid, support only. #ubuntu-offtopic for that [14:45] Sorry man [14:46] ralph4100_: hrmm i wouldn't think it likely but maybe it doesn't like you having so many partitions [14:46] ralph4100_: hrmm hang on do you mind booting into a live session and coming back on here again from it? [14:47] I have read advice saying it's best to turn off DNS recursion in Bind9. [14:50] vroomfondel: just omit any mention of if= and dd will read stdin. e.g. echo "test" | dd of=/tmp/test.dd.txt [14:51] thanks, just read the manpage [14:52] daftykins: I'm actually booted into the real install via the grub console commands right now [14:53] daftykins, would that work as well? [14:53] ralph4100_: oh so you have to manually do it then it's fine? have you tried an update-grub since? [14:53] "sudo update-grub" [14:53] daftykins: do you think 319 is a safer choice? [14:53] daftykins: I ran boot-repair and it repaired my grub menu [14:54] warped-coder: just try a few versions, no harm in it [14:54] daftykins, but still wouldn't let me boot [14:54] daftykins, will update-grub do something different? [14:54] ralph4100_: but yeah this is a totally silly idea but if you could run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | pastebinit" [14:54] hello. I noticed that "sux" is removed from ubuntu. how can I (without having to mess around manually with xauth) su to another user and xauthing it? [14:54] daftykins, last time I ran update-grub windows was missing from my grub menu [14:54] ralph4100_: i would hope that last time it was down to the mix of legacy and EFI [14:55] ralph4100: weird that the busybox screenshot is showing hard drive errors (unable to communicate) [14:55] TJ-: yeah i spotted that, wanted to confirm SMART - but i think it might be more kernel related than bad disk [14:55] kj [14:55] hallo [14:55] nana_: hello [14:55] wie geht es dir ?

[14:56] warped-coder: whichever you feel like typing :> [14:57] nana_: that's a vague question, could you be more specific? Looking for net usage control, for instance? [14:57] daftykins, here are results http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233651/ [14:57] nana_: What are you wanting to do? [14:58] TJ, yes - I was getting a lot of /by-uuid missing errors before logging in via setting the partition/kernel/initrd manually in grub console [14:58] daftykins: ralph4100 Could be an issue with AHCI/RAID/IDE mode selected for the drive channel, in the firmware, but not clear why a manual boot works unless it is trying to read beyond end of disk (sector failing is 1,859,152,224) [14:58] ralph4100: hrmm, you have 4 pending sectors which means your disk has been found to have some issues, you should back it up ideally [14:58] daftykins, I did do a system image yesterday - so I'm good there. have spilled drinks twice on laptop but has still worked, maybe that? haha [14:59] ralph4100: lol oh dear that's not good. [14:59] is there a recommended passphrase generator for encrypting LVM partitions? Or other guidelines I should follow? [14:59] i want to control the time that a custumer take to connect to a computer. to control printers [14:59] daftykins: ralph4100: also, I wonder if the drive has a HPA (host protected area) that was disabled originally and is now enabled, causing reads near the end of the drive to fail - that can happen when otherwise identically size drives are swapped in [14:59] TJ-: ralph4100 i don't really like how messy and numerous the partitions are - if it were me i'd nuke the entire disk and clean install win8.1 followed by ubuntu with a more sane partition layout - sound like overkill? [14:59] daftykins: Yes :p [14:59] hah [14:59] well the disk is faulty now [15:00] so it needs more serious action [15:00] ralph4100: when i get disks with pending sectors i zero fill them to force the drive to remap any others that have issues [15:00] hmm ... would prefer to avoid if possible as lots of things setup on windows [15:00] daftykins, bad idea [15:00] compdoc: no it's not. [15:00] test [15:00] yeah, its really dumb [15:00] daftykins: I ran the command apt-get install nvidia-319, and looking at the output it seems that it installs bits of 331 for some reason (like: setting up nvidia-319 (331.89-0ubuntu5)) and such. is that healthy? [15:00] daftykins - maybe I could format some of the system partitions that are for easy recovery? [15:01] roboteer_: i'd like you to stop that today. [15:01] compdoc: 100% disagree with you [15:01] hi all - last night I ran the exact same rsync command twice - my understanding was after the first time, nothing else should be transfered (as nothing new was added), instead I see literally the same output of >f..T..... both times [15:01] which implies that the files were sent twice [15:01] the drive should have no pending or reallocted sectors. if it does, its dying [15:02] compdoc: not always - forcing it to fully remap lets you find out if it's a small set or a more serious problem [15:02] if the user has backups it's a non-issue [15:03] ralph4100: yeah that'd be good, to reduce how many of them there are... although i think the EFI spec needs to keep at least 4 in total for Windows [15:04] ralph4100: i note that your system has that separate SSD as well, which is presumably transparent to Windows - it's kind of odd ubuntu hasn't tried to do anything with it for boot [15:04] hi, is there any way to recover a system that's missing a bunch of files in /bin (bash, rm, tar, etc) without having to reinstall the whole system? [15:04] daftykins: same results with installing 319 :( [15:04] icebrain: not really [15:04] daftykins - yes supposedly that is used to speed up boot w/ windows although I'm not sure if it is working [15:04] warped-coder: as in, low graphics message? [15:05] icebrain: Re-installing would almost definitely be easier [15:05] icebrain: +1 to Deepfriedice [15:05] daftykins, one question I have is - regarding the boot-repair message to try to set up a boot partition at the beginning of the disk - how do I know whether I can safely do that since there is a small system partition currently there? [15:05] daftykins, Deepfriedice: I feared so. Damn power loss :| [15:05] thanks [15:06] icebrain: Do you have /home on a different partition? [15:06] daftykins: yep [15:06] ralph4100: well, since your disk's health is questionable right now i would say all these suggestions are moot. you really need to buy a new disk as priority #1 [15:06] is there a way to install w3af 1.6 in ubuntu 14.10? [15:07] !info w3af [15:07] w3af (source: w3af): framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1svn5547-1 (utopic), package size 342 kB, installed size 1096 kB [15:07] daftykins - what are you seeing in the results that shows it is questionable? also - if it is questionable that could explain problems I''ve been having in windows where system locks up with high disk activity [15:07] no1_: maybe if you find a PPA, but bear in mind !ppa [15:07] ralph4100: daftykins drive is shown as 931.51 GiB which is 1,000,201,246,474.24 bytes, so sector 1859152224 is either (512 bytes) offset to 951,885,938,688 or (2048 bytes) 3,807,543,754,752 - that suggests 512 byte sectors, and puts 1859152224 at 886GiB at end of sdb7 or beginning of sdb8 [15:07] hewlli [15:07] ralph4100: oh dear, yes that sounds bad. check out line 74 - ID#197 Current Pending Sector, also 58 ID #1 Raw_Read_Error_rate [15:07] oops [15:07] hello [15:08] my fellow nerdsa === OLi is now known as Guest38437 [15:08] guest [15:08] pls i own this [15:08] Guest38437: stop spamming please [15:08] ok sorry sir. [15:08] daftykins: the xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233807 [15:09] Deepfriedice: nope, unfortunately [15:09] actually version 1.2 which is from default repos is freezing. Any way to fix it? [15:09] Deepfriedice: I do have a backup NAS, so I guess I'll copy everything to it and then back after reinstallation [15:09] daftykins, not a linux question but how easy is replacing a laptop hard drive? never done that [15:09] warped-coder: ah, you have a xorg.conf ! please run "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" and reboot [15:09] I'm noticing that Firefox 33 on 14.04 is suddenly extremely slow making networking connections. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032875 Anyone else experiencing this or have ideas? [15:10] icebrain: If you're going to re-install, I really really really recomend splitting /home of onto it's own partition. That way if this happens again re-installing will be much simpler. [15:10] ralph4100: sometimes you can see a little hatch on the underside of the laptop, a few screws and you're in [15:10] demtria [15:10] ralph4100: i'd say that - depending on the given model (they're not always that accessible) HDD and RAM are usually the easiest things you can do [15:10] It seemed like it might have started after I applied pending updates yesterday, but I'm not 100% sure there is a connection there. [15:10] im back guys [15:10] hi [15:11] oliiiiiii: either ask an ubuntu support question or leave please [15:11] hello room [15:11] daftykins: Why would he also need to remove the xorg.conf.old file? [15:11] daftykins: so given the output you saw and that my windows install has been locking up with unexplained high disk activity - what probability would you give that that is the root cause of my issues w/ install? [15:11] usr13: you misread [15:11] o [15:12] usr13: ah no, i mistyped! good catch :) [15:12] warped-coder: sorry i meant "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" [15:12] ikonia: it was me who wanted to install exim - and yes it was necessary to install daemon-heavy or daemon-light [15:12] warped-coder: doesn't matter either way though if you already ran it. [15:13] daftykins: Well, no big deal. Just as well to delete it. [15:13] dinosaur_: errr great [15:14] problem with home server interfaces configs [15:14] ikonia: I managed to install an exim server which would deliver mails locally. But now I would like to configure it to deliver them to my pseudo-network. I don't know how to do that. [15:14] ralph4100: well, it's definitely not helping. but i really don't like that messy disk layout either [15:14] ikonia: that is, the Internet should be treated as non-existen for exim [15:14] ralph4100: it's possible ubuntu installed something important into a now-bad area of the disk [15:15] dinosaur_: what ? exim is all over the internet [15:15] all what it should see should be the pseudo-network === phirez is now known as ZerOlegend-lappy [15:15] daftykins: before I go buying new equipment - is it possible to try an install from an external usb hdd for diagnosing purposes? [15:15] ikonia: would not be it possible to make a network consisting of, let's say, 5 computers (a network separated from the Internet) and then set up one of them as an exim mail server? [15:16] is that even possible [15:16] ralph4100: as in test installing ubuntu to a USB HDD? [15:16] daftykins, right - see if everything works when it isn't my primary hdd [15:16] Is there a way to get the original manifest of a ubuntu install? i need to see what packages have been added to an install [15:16] daftykins, or does that throw to many variables in it to actually isolate the primary hdd [15:17] $nicks hoverboarddinosaur_ yes, that's called smart relay, as long as that 1 computer can get to another mail server with internet access/or the internet directly [15:17] ralph4100: i don't know how to make this any clearer really :) your disk is faulty, you have to change it *regardless* of things you can't get working right now :) [15:17] daftykins lol ok [15:17] oops [15:17] it's dead, Jim [15:17] dinosaur_: es, that's called smart relay, as long as that 1 computer can get to another mail server with internet access/or the internet directly [15:17] ralph4100: you can certainly do it if you want to waste the time, but you'd idealy need to remove the HDD + SSD, plus the external USB HDD would need to be blank [15:18] hosts.allow if i type in sshd: 192.168.0.22 i just can reach the sshd demon from that ip am i right? [15:18] so hopefully you don't use it for your backups [15:18] cwarner, read the manifest on the ISO or dpkg -l | grep installed [15:18] UselessWolf: you should define it's listen address in the sshd_config [15:18] ikonia: But I know that there are networks which are completely separated from the Internet and yet they have mail server (of course this mail server enables you only sending mails between the computers in your network). I need such a solution. Isn't is possible to do it with exim? [15:18] dinosaur_: re-read what I said [15:18] hello guys [15:19] dinosaur_: yes you can do that, but you need either a.) the exim server to have direct access to the internet b.) the exim server to have access to another mail server to relay through to send to the internet [15:19] daftykins: right, I'm still in the low graphics menu, after removing all xorg.conf and xorg.conf.old [15:19] ikonia: I did read it, but it is not what I'm looking for. And your response to my question is basically "no", but I believe you are wrong because I know such networks. [15:19] daftykins: I guess that's not what we expected to get [15:19] warped-coder: hrmm, try different versions [15:19] dinosaur_: no you don't [15:19] ikonia: however, I'm not sure if they are running exim [15:19] Hi. When swapping a machine's motherboard out for another (but keeping HDD and peripherals), what considerations need to be made to keep the system running? Having done the swap, the machine boots to desktop straightaway, all peripherals (USB, network, etc) seem to be detected. [15:19] Is any cleanup required? [15:20] dinosaur_: a mail server of any sort cannot send mail to the internet unless it has a.) access to the internet b.) access to another mail server that it can relay through to the internet [15:20] Grey_Loki: no [15:20] ikonia: but I do not want it to send mails to the Internet. I want it to be able to send mail to my own network. [15:20] dinosaur_: then thats fine [15:20] dinosaur_: you don't need any internet access or smart host [15:20] daftykins: neat. Do you have a link to anything which explains why? I was exepcting i'd be having to get into the internals of the system and surgically remove old drivers etc [15:20] dinosaur_: you can send internally just fine [15:21] #ListenAddress :: [15:21] #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 if i put there both my static ips that work? [15:21] Grey_Loki: i don't need links or articles for hardware sense :) obviously you would have had to have removed drivers if you changed graphics type, but you've not detailed whether a card stayed the same or whether there's onboard graphics [15:21] ikonia [15:21] ikonia: OK, I'll be working on that. If you happen to know how to do it, then I'll be happy to listen your explanation. I'll by trying for myself, anyway. [15:21] Grey_Loki: Driver modules are automatically loaded. [15:21] Grey_Loki: Possibly. If there are persistent network interfaces names set in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" you may need to remove/amend them to match the new MAC addresses [15:22] Grey_Loki: If it is not broke, don't fix it. [15:22] dinosaur_ just need a valid name resolution on each mail server and a mail server listening on each host for local delivery, then user@hostname as a mail address [15:22] daftykins: swaps from onboard to onboard :) [15:22] TJ-: nothing like that going on. [15:22] Grey_Loki: Same goes for any bluetooth HCI; you may need to edit directory names and entries in "/var/lib/bluetooth/" [15:22] intel on-die graphics? [15:22] usr13: butbut, perhaps I could make it BETTER! :D [15:23] Grey_Loki: just be happy it all works and go enjoy. [15:23] Grey_Loki: perhaps it's ok [15:24] daftykins: older; HD3200 based onboard GPU :) [15:24] ikonia: thanks. I do not exactly know how to do that, but I'll try. [15:24] * Grey_Loki smiles [15:24] Alright, thanks for your advice everyone :) [15:24] Grey_Loki: The persistent net names are automatically created by Udev unless you're specifically disabled that, so swapping a mobo with on-board ethernet ports would leave an entry that'd likely cause the port to be named slightly differently. Could also occur if you're using biosdevnames or systemd [15:25] so I have to compare the original manifest with a dpkg --list and then filter out what has been added and what hasn't? to get a list of packages installed.. [15:25] problem with interfaces config [15:26] Someone here with experience of Bind9? I need some help please. [15:26] seems like something dpkg could likely keep track of.. this has to be an option somewhere [15:26] cwarner: can't remember the command but i believe there was a dpkg --get-selections [15:26] cwarner, that would do it. there's also a dpkg command sorted by date. you could see your zero - state and sort for additions === Gremlin_ is now known as k2gremlin [15:28] yeah in this case that won't work the problem is that I'm dealing with a large set of installs and don't have a good sense of timelines or when things were spun up.. another problem is that I need to figure out the original manifest for all these disparate installs and a proper location to grab them [15:28] daftykins: I don't think this is a version issue with the nvidia driver. It was working just this morning with 331, if I remember well [15:28] daftykins: but now it doesn't work with 319, 310, 331, 304 [15:29] warped-coder: what does Xorg.0.log look like now? [15:29] hello, can i have some advise for error upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 from update manager? [15:29] my time would be better spent patching dpkg it seems [15:30] daftykins: the very same: the error is that Undefined Screen "nvidia" referenced by ServerLayout "layout". [15:30] hrmm [15:30] cwarner, http://askubuntu.com/questions/9135/how-to-backup-settings-and-list-of-installed-packages [15:30] daftykins: it's like the nvidia driver doesn't start before X, or something like that [15:31] cwarner, also see http://www.kingletas.com/2012/07/restore-ubuntu-to-the-default-settings-without-re-installing-it.html === lobo is now known as Guest41291 === Guest41291 is now known as lObo1 [15:31] warped-coder: i don't think so, i think this one's beyond me then i'm afraid. i would purge nvidia* again, reboot and ask again [15:31] maybe someone else has better prime experience [15:32] does anyone know about the interfaces config [15:32] well, I'll try [15:33] cfhowlett: yeah all of these would work for one off cases or lets say a small amount of systems.. i'm dealing with 2,000 plus ubuntu installs so pulling manifest and then diff'n will be slow and cumbersome [15:33] warped-coder: You're getting a failure in Xorg.0.log even when "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" has been removed? [15:34] cwarner, ah, it's THAT kind of party! I assumed (silly me) your systems were cloned. sorry. [15:34] greg_1: yes but until you pastebin a config and ask a question about it nobody can help :) [15:34] !paste | greg_1 [15:34] greg_1: 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. [15:34] TJ-: yes [15:34] cwarner: They're not controlled by puppet/chef/ansible/salt/landscape ? [15:34] sorry newbie here [15:34] cfhowlett: yeah.. i think the best approach would be to patch dpkg.. i'll try to sort something out and see what the deal is [15:34] when I create a system user acount with no shell "useradd -s /bin/false -r -M ", if I want to use it only for tunneling, I still need a home directory to store .ssh/authorized_keys right ? [15:35] cwarner, I feelz for you. good luck. [15:35] warped-coder: Can you do "sudo service lightdm restart" then pastebin the latest "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" [15:35] TJ-: sure [15:35] TJ-: they are but waltzing through 2,000 plus nodes running multiple gets, sorts and diffs is a waste of resources [15:36] having a problem with the static ip address [15:36] cfhowlett: no biggie.. thanks for the scouting though I appreciate it [15:36] cwarner, happy2help [15:37] cwarner: The config management tool should already know which packages are installed and how they're configured [15:37] is there a place that shows what major corporations or large operations use Ubuntu Server? [15:37] DammitJim, there are several case studies on the canonical site. [15:38] canonical? got it, thanks.. if anyone has a direct link, please provide as I am trying to get management to switch us from Red Hat [15:38] greg_1: yeah so what have you tried? what have you typed? what's going wrong? we can't read minds :) [15:38] DammitJim, https://insights.ubuntu.com/case-studies/ [15:39] TJ-: sure, that works when you have a config management service keeping track of your installs.. when you don't and need to figure it out.. this is where I'm standing [15:39] excuses me i am new to this so you dont need to be so rude [15:40] greg_1: sorry, it wasn't meant to be taken so. but you're not really giving us much details to go on [15:40] so greg_1 you want to assign your network as static? [15:40] how do you find address network broadcast and gateway [15:40] what is your local lan address? [15:41] greg_1: if you're on your home network, you'll know it from how your router is addressed [15:41] if you are lets say 192.168.1.5 then your gateway your broadcast is 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 [15:41] #oejlug [15:43] TJ-: ok, so I'm installing 331 and then do the lightgdm restart [15:43] greg_1: route -v [15:43] warped-coder: *lightdm [15:43] i 192.168.1.1 no work cant ping it [15:43] cwarner: I thought you'd said they are managed (" they are but...") - in which case I'd deploy a script to each that collects the additional info needed. Otherwise it will require a diff between the tasksel list and what debfoster reports [15:43] daftykins: that [15:44] greg_1, that was an example [15:44] greg_1: route -v [15:44] type ifconfig in terminal [15:44] hhhmmmm... no list per se [15:44] I have ubuntu installed on Macbook pro and just installed the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver and now i get a segfault starting X... how can I switch back to the default Nouveau driver from root shell? [15:46] TJ-: right, the deploy a script part of that equation just isn't what I want to do as it's not going to get everything.. If someone installs a package afterwards I don't get that info, it's just not fast enough.. need to figure something else out [15:46] i'll most likely end up having to patch dpkg to store this stuff in config management db/service [15:48] cwarner: What are you using, Puppet? [15:49] TJ-: yeah, it's always the same nvdiai referenced by server layout [15:49] TJ-: a mix of ansible and chef.. getting ride of chef.. not sure if ansible tower will be purchased [15:50] nothing working cant use ping [15:50] hello. how can I get rights to certain (text) files from programs run from the gnome-menu, I assume under the default user? in particular I'm trying to access a php file for reading and writing from /var/www in various text editors. I tried chowning all files in /var/www with www-data:www-data, and add my default user to the www-data group, but that doesn't seem to have helped [15:50] dpkg with an option to stash info in a cmdb or something like that would work.. we'd run dpkg to post the info anytime a pcakage is installed [15:51] TJ-: and the xorg.conf (after deleting it and restarting the lightdm service) looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9234435 [15:51] then I could slurp up all the info from the cmdb [15:51] there's only intel screen in it, no nvidia indeed [15:51] lasdam: did you log out and back in after adding the group to your user? [15:51] zykotick9: yes [15:51] if anything changes in the timeframe it'd be easier to poll and deal with that at the cmdb [15:53] and /etc/groups reads: www-data:x:33:myusername [15:54] lasdam: but that doesn't matter, if you haven't logged out and back in... thus why i asked. [15:54] zykotick9: and I'm telling you I have :P still no results [15:55] hrmm maybe just redis in the meantime [15:57] anyone want to help a newbie one on one [15:58] greg_1: if you ask a question perhaps the channel could help you (it's safer having the peer-review of information being given) [15:58] greg_1: Generally it's best to ask a question openly, that way anybody who knows the answer can help, and anybody who doesn't can learn. [15:58] greg_1: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? [15:59] zykotick9: That's a good way of putting it. [15:59] trying to setup a home sever [15:59] having trouble with statice ip setting [16:00] like i said i new to this and linux [16:00] is it possible to get the LVM encryption setup process from installation running post-install? [16:00] i accidentially selected without encryption [16:01] address network ect [16:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ [16:01] read the guides [16:02] adsc: reinstalling would certainly be the easiest way to get there... best of luck. i've personally only done encrypted-lvm from install, so i have no suggestions on trying after the install. [16:03] TJ-: daftykins: well, I followed up by checking the dmesg, and I found that module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - trainting kernel [16:03] warped-coder: Looks like nvidia-xsettings is auto-generating an xorg.conf, is that correct? It also looks to be for an Optimus config (nvidia+intel), and is missing the nvidia screen definition [16:03] the problem is the stupid vsphere crap web tool doesn't let me reconnect the DVD image [16:03] greg_1: you just have to edit /etc/network/interfaces, it's pretty simple [16:04] warped-coder: That is expected since the nvidia module is built on the PC not pre-built by the Ubuntu servers, and therefore cannot be signed [16:04] ok tryed that can ping or got a outside connection [16:05] zykotick9: could the problem be 644 permissions? anything else that could cause this or that I've ignored? (I'm fairly newbish) [16:06] TJ-: when I ran nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info, I got the error: "couldn't insert 'nvidia_331': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" [16:06] lasdam: ya, that 4 for group won't give you write access [16:06] TJ-: and when I ran dmesg | grep nvidia, i get the signature issue and unknown symbol mcount (err 0), if this helps [16:07] warped-coder: what does "uname -r" report? [16:08] 3.16.0-25-generic [16:08] zykotick9: 4? what other ways can I get write access other than changing the files permissions or running programs as root? [16:08] lasdam: "sudo chmod g+w foo" might fix your issue [16:08] warped-coder: And does this "ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/" list the "nvidia_331.ko" module? === Vgn|away is now known as Vogone [16:09] lasdam: you said 644, well the 6 is owner permission, then the first four is group, and the last four is other (everyone else) [16:10] TJ-: yep, and nvidia-331-uvm.ko too [16:10] zykotick9: right! I got it now, thanks. your solution also works. I forgot that the middle number is actually group permissions :P [16:10] Hello! I just installed Ubuntu (I got it recomended) but I have two problems, I was tould it would dual-boot with windows, but I can't get any bootscreen? it goes straight into Ubuntu, also it's super slow on my fast computer [16:11] (I have Windows and Ubuntu on two different SSDs [16:11] zykotick9: thanks alot* [16:11] lasdam: glad to help [16:11] no help [16:12] warped-coder: The mcount error usually is caused by the module being built by the wrong version of the gcc compiler, but if you using a stock ubuntu release then that wouldn't make sense. Have you installed any build tools recently that could be taking precedence? [16:13] I have ubuntu installed on Macbook pro and just installed the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver and now i get a segfault starting X... how can I switch back to the default Nouveau driver from root shell? [16:13] greg_1: post the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file and the output of ifconfig on some pastebin [16:15] warped-coder: The other possibility is building against the wrong version of kernel headers (packages linux-headers-*) [16:15] TJ-: I have two gcc on my machine [16:16] can any one help? [16:16] hello! [16:16] TJ-: and the default is 4.4.7 [16:16] could that be the problem? [16:17] and how do I check which linux headers are used? [16:17] I have a LG notebook with windows 8, and it has UEFI [16:17] I already followed the ubuntu UEFI guide, but I can not boot from my usb flash drive [16:18] I also tryed three usb sticks, without sucess [16:18] do you have any idea? [16:20] warped-coder: When the dkms build of the nvidia module is done, a log file is stored in /var/lib/dkms/${MODULE_NAME)/$(MODULE_VERSION)/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/$(ARCH)/log/ [16:21] TJ-: I'll set it to the stock gcc-4.9 and see what's going to happen if I reinstall the nvidia modules (after purge, of course) [16:25] Hi I have installed openjdk 7 on my ubuntu , when I run the command javac hello.java , I get a message saying javac can be found in openjdk 7 [16:25] I dont understand whther openjdk is installed on ma PC [16:25] please help === Anoniem4l`afk is now known as Anoniem4l === Alexandro is now known as Alessandro|AFK [16:27] Anybody there ? === Alessandro|AFK is now known as Alessandro|BNC [16:27] nope === Alessandro|BNC is now known as Alexandro [16:28] Hi compdoc ,any experience in installing openjdk- 7-jdk? [16:28] no, afraid not [16:28] ok [16:29] but there are otrhers here - wait a bit [16:29] okay sure [16:29] theres also a mailing list [16:29] How can I personally retrieve the core dump for an application not installed by apt, from the "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" window? All i can see there is CoreDump ==> (binary data) [16:29] could you please let me know the mailing list compdoc [16:30] nacitar: You've got the crash-dump file in "/var/crash/" ? [16:30] TJ-: yep, had no idea that folder existed, exactly what i need [16:30] https://lists.ubuntu.com/ [16:30] TJ-: thanks a lot [16:31] thanks compdoc :) [16:31] actaully, you want this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users [16:31] the ubuntu-users list [16:31] Amalesh: Does "which javac" report something? [16:33] Amalesh: If so, then check what it points to with "update-alternatives --display javac" [16:33] I have installed openjdk-7-jdk.But when I tried to compile a java program by giving a command " javac Hello.java". I got an message [16:33] The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages: [16:33] * default-jdk [16:33] * ecj [16:33] * gcj-4.6-jdk [16:33] * gcj-4.7-jdk [16:33] Amalesh 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 [16:34] !info openjdk-7-jdk [16:34] openjdk-7-jdk (source: openjdk-7): OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK).

[16:34] OerHeks: It's javac (the compiler), not java (the vm) [16:37] nacitar: gdb reads the dumps; see for example https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash [16:38] TJ-: it's alive! [16:38] nacitar: To do it manually you'll need to unpack the apport creash file using "apport-unpack" [16:38] warped-coder: great news :) [16:38] TJ-: that's what i was missing from the docs, thanks. [16:39] i have a problem with my keyboard shortcut Fn + F12 to increase volume if i change the keyboard shortcut it works [16:39] TJ-: there should have been a warning that the version of gcc isn't right, when installing the nvidia driver package [16:39] nacitar: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#I.27m_a_developer._How_do_I_use_these_crash_reports.3F [16:39] warped-coder: It doesn't know that ... it depends on hundreds of options [16:40] TJ-: it's a simple "gcc --version" command to check, so it could be implemented [16:40] TJ-: IMHO [16:41] warped-coder: No, it isn't. It depends not on the version but on what configuration options the version used, which vary (as you found out). The version/options used to build the module must be identical to that used to build the kernel itself [16:42] I'm trying to configure gammu, but I can't find my modem at /dev/ttyUSB*.. I don't see any /dev/ttyUSB* at all.. does anyone know why?

[sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [16:46] didn't get "serial" in the output [16:46] hello [16:47] zonetti: So maybe you need to have usb_modeswitch do its magic in order for the device to present its network/serial interfaces? [16:47] How do I check whether it is installed, I had used the command sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk [16:47] how far behind is ubuntu from other disrtros regarding security updates ? for example comparing to rolling releases distros [16:47] Amalesh: As I said earlier: If so, then check what it points to with "update-alternatives --display javac" [16:48] @OerHekks [16:48] leeyaa: No difference where CVEs are concerned [16:48] TJ-, I'll take a look.. first time with usb_modeswitch :) [16:48] leeyaa, not, ubuntu is with the fastest linux security updaters [16:50] hello i need help fixing a volume control keyboard shortcut [16:50] TJ I got an error message saying "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for javac" [16:51] Amalesh: So "openjdk-7-jdk" isn't installed, nor is any other JDK [16:51] *push* hello. I noticed that "sux" is removed from ubuntu. how can I (without having to mess around manually with xauth) su to another user and xauthing it?

[16:54] mibr001, we c u [16:55] hey guys what is the best way to keep two folders synced between a windows system and a linux system [16:55] ? [16:55] thank you fn f12 isnt working for adjusting my volume however when i change the shortcut to another key it works [16:57] navetz: are you thinkig about a "cloud" or just filesharing? I persobally use Bittorrent Sync between my devices [16:58] navetz: I dono. (I assume rsync is not cross-platform.) [16:58] quit [16:58] Kira9204, was thinking filesharing. Is bittorrent sync could based or filesharing ? [16:58] navetz: But, why do you need them on both? [16:58] Hi, 14.10 here (desktop). Can someone help telephony-service-indicator stop annoying me? How do I get rid of this? [16:58] usr13, syncing work folders from my computer and my bosses. [16:59] navetz: Oh ok. [16:59] navetz: btsync is a personal "cloud", it simpky sincs directories between online devices [16:59] navetz: But are both these computers on the same network? [17:00] navetz: Right? [17:00] navetz: if you simply wants to transfer files between windows+linux id look into samba/smbd [17:00] I just installed ubuntu 14.10, it is slow, very slow. I have the latest graphics driver (slower before getting the driver), and I have a *very* good computer [17:00] should I rather use ubuntu 14.04 maybe? [17:00] or sftp or whatever [17:00] fn f12 isnt working for adjusting my volume however when i change the shortcut to another key it works i tried everything google could tell me [17:01] usr13, not on the same network, we both work in different locations [17:01] Hello. I am having a problem with network-manager. Every time I do a 'sudo restart network-manager' it changes my default gw to something invalid (169.254.0.0). [17:01] TJ got it thanks! [17:01] Any ideas what might be causing this? [17:01] Loplin: Why do you restart it? [17:01] Kira9204, we are not on the same network. Would like automatic sync between files. bittorrent sync is looking pretty good [17:02] usr13: I was restarting to figure what the heck was changing my gateway all the time. [17:02] friends, my notebook uses UEFI and I can not boot my usb stick! Have you any ideas why? [17:02] usr13: The gateway changes on my kind of randomly so I have to reset it. I restarted network-manager a few times to see if that was caused it, and it did. [17:03] Loplin: Could there be another dhcp server? [17:03] joe_br: what did you put on it and how? [17:03] Loplin: You could just switch to wicd and see how that works.... [17:04] daftykins, I am trying to install Ubuntu and I used Universal USB Installer, Rufus ... [17:04] Loplin: You're on a wireless network? [17:04] joe_br: as in you've tried creating it with different programs? ok. what system is this? [17:04] usr13: No, wired. Wireless works fine. [17:05] Loplin: So you use both? (Is this a laptop?) [17:05] usr13: It is a laptop. I disable wireless when I have wired though. [17:05] daftykins, it is windows 8, the default operational system of the machine [17:05] joe_br: i meant the make and model [17:06] Loplin: I was going to say that if it was connected to only wired network all the time, you don't need network-manager. [17:06] daftykins, the machine is LG SlidePad 2, and Ubuntu is 14.10 64bits [17:06] thank you fn f12 isnt working for adjusting my volume however when i change the shortcut to another key it works [17:06] Loplin: But again, you could just intall wicd and uninstall network-manager and see how that works. [17:07] anyone know if apparmor allows modification of profiles even with sudo? [17:08] Loplin: sudo apt-get install wicd && sudo apt-get remove network-manager && reboot [17:08] Going to restart it again with wireshark up to see if it is coming from a rough dhcp server. === matheus is now known as Guest10369 [17:08] Loplin: Good [17:09] joe_br: i don't think that counts as a normal computer capable of running normal desktop ubuntu [17:09] daftykins, but it has an intel x86_64 processor, an Atom Z3740 [17:10] joe_br: i know, but it looks like a highly custom device [17:10] joe_br, ubuntu-touch perhaps??? [17:11] cfhowlett, I could try it, but I would like to at least boot a pendrive with linux [17:12] joe_br: i can't even find much about the product from google, let alone any ubuntu info. if it doesn't boot the flash drive in any USB port, i don't think it's going to happen [17:12] perhaps it's locked down in the setup screen [17:13] daftykins, I found (on google) a guy who was able to boot gparted live [17:15] joe_br: my best suggestion would be to 1) Download and try other ISOs 2) try and access the system BIOS [17:15] daftykins, I already tryed debian and kubuntu, with no sucess... [17:15] joe_br: did you go back to 14.04 ? [17:16] daftykins, I didn't try it [17:16] joe_br: does the drive boot in another computer (an EFI one?) [17:16] joe_br: I'm late to the conversation but gparted liveCD / liveUSB have both worked fine for me. See: http://gparted.org/livecd.php [17:17] joe_br: The SlidePad2 is UEFI, possibly with Secure-boot enabled, and possibly with the UEFI configured to prevent external boot devices [17:18] TJ-, I have tryed to boot with Secure-boot enabled and disabled, both without sucess [17:18] we're talking about different settings [17:18] joe_br: if you can enter your EFI setup, take some pictures for us of each page perhaps [17:19] daftykins, Sure! Come right back [17:19] joe_br: For an external device to boot - assuming the UEFI has a driver for that device - the boot image needs to have an EFI SP with the boot manager at "/EFI/boot/bootx86.efi" [17:20] joe_br: http://imgur.com/ [17:20] joe_br: Check if the UEFI has an option to drop to the UEFI shell [17:20] hi [17:20] legacy boot?

[17:23] usr13, it doesn't connect the wpa/wpa2 network [17:24] alok_: And what do you do to fix it?

[17:45] daftykins, it is beacause there was no USB HDD pluged on. If I plug it, it gets black [17:46] oh i see [17:46] joe_br: are there multiple USB ports? is one USB 2 and one or more USB 3? [17:47] daftykins, there is one mini usb, one 2.0 'normal' usb and one 3.0 'normal' usb ports [17:47] joe_br: no difference with each i take it? [17:48] daftykins, no. I have made a windows 8 pendrive recovery. It boots from any port... [17:48] hi all.

[17:48] daftykins, but ubuntu usb sticks boots from any of them [17:48] xocolatl, reconfigure plymouth IIRC [17:49] the worst part is it's apparently obeying different settings than the ones I'm configuring (like don't lock after 5mins) [17:49] joe_br: ok, in that case i would come back to - does your ubuntu device boot in other more normal computers [17:49] daftykins, I tested my usb stick in my dell notebook, it boots great! :D [17:50] cfhowlett: thanks for the tip, lemme reboot to see if it works [17:53] daftykins, The windows 8 installed is 32bits [17:53] joe_br: really? hrmm [17:53] daftykins, maybe the uefi is 32bits and then I need ubuntu 32bits [17:53] well UEFI by nature is 64-bit, but maybe that device has a dumbed down one yeah [17:53] cfhowlett: no change :( [17:53] worth trying [17:54] xocolatl, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth [17:56] hello I am having a problem with a “RandR extension is not present” error when trying to change my display settings.

I've seen youtube videos of chromebooks with ubuntu [18:04] Hey all, telephony service somehow receives my Hangouts chat messages and is popping up notifications for every chat. It's really annoying. Does anyone know how to turn it off or change the settings to remove the association?

[18:37] kieron-dell, but be aware, mint has its own issues [18:37] no one is answering atm [18:38] NeoGeo64: :P The images are available for free. Both free as in freedom and free as in free beer. You can donate to Ubuntu if you'd like or choose to pay for support [18:38] kieron-dell: You picks your distro, you have to rely on their support [18:38] for bittorrent sync, do you guys use the repository or download it directly? [18:38] I lost an SD card, but I still have a backup image of it. I now have a new SD card and I need to restore the backup to this card. [18:38] Does anyone know how I can do that? [18:39] ben_g, How did you back it up? [18:39] i had a full system disk. i have removed some stuff, so i have 800M free or something [18:39] still get error from dpkg -i that it cant even create a folder because full disk [18:39] I backed it up with some command someone here gave me. [18:39] !find btsync [18:39] dd or something [18:39] Package/file btsync does not exist in utopic [18:40] but id imagine replacing their repo's with yours is generally the same as they use your ubuntu packages anyway [18:40] ben_g, Use nicks here. [18:40] navetz, i guess you need a ppa for that [18:40] bubbasaures: Ok [18:40] bubbasaures: I think the command was something with dd [18:40] the difference being i wont be using the annoying low latency kernel thats on ubuntu studio [18:40] ben_g, I don't dd myself, you will have to be sure is all for help. ;) === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [18:41] anyway [18:41] does anyone know what opencl is used for with ffmpeg? [18:42] bubbasaures: Is there any way to check the format of the backup image to see how it was generated and how to restore it? [18:42] this is so frustrating :( [18:42] ubuntu studio 14.04 [18:42] ben_g: open a terminal and type history | grep dd [18:42] thats the trusty repositories isnt it === Joshua^Dunamis_i is now known as Joshua^Dunamis === xdm83_ is now known as xdm83 [18:43] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9236826/ [18:44] how would I get a terminal to come up and run a command after a user logs in? [18:44] ben_g: looks like this is it ? sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=rpi_sdcard_backup.iso [18:44] I think that was the command indeed [18:44] is the name of the image rpi_sdcard.. ? [18:44] EriC^^: yes [18:44] ok, so you dd'd the whole disk [18:45] type sudo parted -l and get the name of the sdcard [18:45] hi all.. [18:45] ( /dev/sd.. ) === kellz is now known as shakthi [18:45] I can't believe I have to reinstall my entire system because of this bullshit :( [18:46] How can I switch back to unity7 [18:46] xocolatl: what bs? [18:46] EriC^^: /dev/sdb [18:46] hallo [18:46] can anyone answer me [18:46] i am running unity 8 now [18:47] ben_g: ok, so you need to type sudo dd if=/path/to/rpi_sdcard... of=/dev/sdb [18:47] are the ubuntu 14.04 repo's "trusty" repositories [18:47] EriC^^: I installed the xubuntu-desktop package and it changed everything and I can't get rid of it. there are clearly some settings somewhere that are being obeyed but that I can't change (like "don't like my screen after 5 minutes") [18:47] EriC^^: I've managed to get plymouth back to normal, but nothing else [18:47] Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty Tahr) [18:47] xocolatl: ok, i think it's fixable [18:48] ijust wonder why you cannot find that simple info, kieron-dell [18:48] does that go for ubuntu studio aswell [18:48] xocolatl: get the list of dependencies apt-cache show xubuntu-desktop [18:48] EriC^^: I've already purged most of those [18:48] xocolatl: hold on [18:49] by hand? [18:49] it wouldn't do it any other way [18:49] im kinda new to switching from one lot of repositories to the other [18:49] xocolatl: hold on [18:49] daftykins, I made it! It booted! [18:49] im only doing this cos the low latency kernel in ubuntu studio is shit [18:49] xocolatl: i'll tell you what to do for future reference [18:49] EriC^^: removing xubuntu-desktop did just that and nothing else, leaving me with a bastardized system :( [18:49] EriC^^: yes, please do [18:49] xocolatl: i know i feel your pain [18:49] :P [18:50] xocolatl: seriously though i just went through something similar with cairo [18:50] i decided to install cairo to try it out and when i tried to remove it it broke unity [18:50] joe_br: what changed? [18:50] anyway [18:51] xocolatl: usually you can just remove whatever it installed as dependencies, but it had installed stuff that weren't even there in the list so i used !find & ubottu here to get the package names and remove them to get unity back [18:51] daftykins, the ubuntu 32bits there is no support for UEFI [18:51] xocolatl: anyways, open a terminal and type apt-cache show xubuntu-desktop [18:51] daftykins, at least the image downloaded [18:51] Hey, does someone know how to get preseed file over https? It complains about not being able to fetch my preseed file from github gist - which does have a good certificate. [18:51] joe_br: oh, someone here said you could UEFI with 32-bit. but what made it work then? [18:51] daftykins, then, I have downloaded gparted and then booted! hahaha [18:52] is ubuntu studio 14.04 trusty [18:52] aswell [18:52] EriC^^: done [18:52] from debian installer; main-menu[206]: (process:1084): ERROR: cannot verify gist.githubusercontent.com's certificate, issued by '/C=US/O=DigiCert [18:52] xocolatl: ok open gedit and copy the list of dependencies and paste it there [18:53] daftykins, sorry! I am too excited! I have downloaded gparted live, that comes with UEFI support already [18:53] joe_br: haha, but that's not an operating system [18:53] daftykins, then I used Universal USB... to put it on pendrive [18:53] EriC^^: done (using gvim instead) [18:53] daftykins, I agree, but I may use it to install ubuntu or any other distro :D [18:53] xocolatl: ok, use gvim's search and replace to replace the "," with a space [18:53] installing from gparted? i don't follow, it's just a partitioning tool surely? [18:54] I am having a lot of problems with VLC, so I installed mpv, but, can anyone reccomend a decent player for video files? [18:54] EriC^^: that's why I chose gvim :) [18:54] kieron-dell: https://ubuntustudio.org/download/ pretty obvious imho [18:54] MPV works really well but my wife doesnt like it [18:54] xocolatl: gedit has it too :P [18:54] not as nice, though :p [18:55] haha [18:55] daftykins, I could install, for example, gentoo. but what I mean: boot from pendrive is possible. I just need to make my own EFI bootmanager, just like someone said [18:55] ok now how can i download their repositories [18:55] kieron-dell: Please ask in the Mint channel [18:55] joe_br: oic [18:56] EriC^^: so I should just purge all those and then re-install ubuntu-desktop? [18:56] kieron-dell: You're not using Ubuntu or any of the officialy supported variants [18:56] xocolatl: not by hand [18:56] kieron-dell: If they can't help you, then you need to reconsider which operating system to use [18:56] !it [18:56] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [18:56] xocolatl: open a terminal and type cat /path/to/savedlist | xargs sudo apt-get purge [18:56] but im asking you lot where to download YOUR repositories [18:57] EriC^^: isn't that doing it by hand? [18:57] isnt that basicly installing your system [18:57] xocolatl: it will purge them [18:57] ilken: I like mplayer. [18:57] kieron-dell: ok, what does cat /etc/issue tell you [18:57] xocolatl: by hand i meant purging them one by one manually [18:57] EriC^^: oh heck no :) [18:57] which is all i wanna do anyway but this way i dont have to worry about your low latency kernel [18:58] kieron-dell: ok, feel free to use the Mint channel for support [18:58] kieron-dell: But we can't help you here [18:58] xocolatl: i thought you meant you purged them one by one earlier [18:59] EriC^^: I was doing them selectively one by one, but now I just want them all gone [18:59] so you dont know where to download the repositories for ubuntu studio [18:59] xocolatl: give it a shot and see if it works [19:00] EriC^^: qtdeclarative5-qtfeedback-plugin : Depends: libqt5feedback5 but it is not going to be installed [19:00] xocolatl: report back! [19:01] I'm not trying to install anything [19:01] * xocolatl scratches head [19:02] xocolatl: ok i think that wont work [19:02] xocolatl: i just noticed there's network-manager-gnome in the list? [19:02] xocolatl: well this is pretty nasty [19:03] of apt-get [19:03] that's why I was trying to cherry pick them [19:03] http://pastebin.com/P8qEmVCK [19:05] EriC^^: I guess I could diff the deps between xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop, what do you think? [19:05] yeah that sounds like an idea [19:05] I'll try that [19:10] EriC^^: the backup restoring is still going, and when I click properties in the explorer, it says that the SD card only contains a few kilobytes of data (the backup contains 4GB of information) [19:10] EriC^^: so is there any way to check if it didn't freeze? [19:14] xocolatl: how'd you diff/comm them? [19:14] daftykins, thanks for your help! [19:14] daftykins, :D [19:14] EriC^^: vimdiff [19:14] joe_br: no problem ^_^ don't feel like we got anywhere though! [19:14] EriC^^: rebooting, brb [19:14] xocolatl: you can use sed -i 's/\ /\n/' /path/to/list to get rid of the space and have them on new lines [19:14] xocolatl: ok, cool [19:15] ben_g: You probably just need wait a while longer. === chandler_ is now known as Guest69853 [19:15] usr13: ok [19:15] ben_g: yeah you can use kill -USR1 [19:16] ben_g: What size is the SD card? [19:16] EriC^^: wouldn't that stop the process? [19:16] usr13: 8GB [19:16] Ok [19:16] EriC^^: that did it. I think lightdm-gtk-greeter was the culprit [19:17] EriC^^: thanks for your help, I was about to blow a gasket. [19:17] ben_g: no that wouldn't stop it [19:17] ben_g: type ps aux | grep /dev/sdb [19:17] ben_g: get the pid, and use that commnad [19:18] xocolatl: haha [19:18] xocolatl: cool [19:18] Hi I created a desktop icon/launcher a fews ago. I can see it on my desktop, and click on it to run my program, but I can't seem to edit it, "ls -la" doesn't show it in ~/Desktop bizarrely, and I can't see anything with the same name in /usr/share/applications.....how can I edit the file with a text editor again? [19:18] few weeks* [19:18] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9237280/ [19:19] o,o [19:20] ben_g: sudo kill -USR1 3317 [19:20] hows it angingh [19:22] oa [19:22] :B holi [19:22] EriC^^: either that interrupted the restore or it has just finished. Either way, it seems like something failed, because the SD card only contains a single 32kb file [19:23] ben_g: how big is the .img? [19:23] EriC^^: 7.9GB [19:24] ben_g: hmm [19:24] EriC^^: or 3.8GB zip-compressed (to give an impression of the size of the actual data inside) [19:26] hello I am having this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2058265 and my /etc/xdg/menus/ folder looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9237383/ could someone cast some light? === someon is now known as someone [19:27] ben_g: try to dd it again [19:28] MagicSpud im way to lazy to open u pthat links [19:28] EriC^^: the exact same command again? [19:28] ben_g: sudo dd if=/path/to/rs... of=/dev/sdb conv=sync,notrunc,noerror [19:28] no add the conv part === rigor789z is now known as rigor789 === owner_ is now known as Guest29435 [19:42] hello friends! If I have Ubuntu + Kubuntu + Lubuntu + Cinnamon flavour, will I have incompatibility problems? Or will it run smoothly with no problems? Thanks :D [19:44] velho: I could be wrong, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. [19:45] this chat is a crap because nobody helps [19:46] trying to install webmin error libnet-ssleay-perl is not installed. [19:46] MagicSpud: it's volunteer run, you get what you pay for. [19:46] !webmin | gregfrank [19:46] gregfrank: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [19:46] i installed t on my ubuntu laptop [19:47] can't install on my home server [19:47] gregfrank: but it's unsupported [19:49] is there ant other like webmin that i can use [19:50] i can't remember the name, sorry [19:50] I recently installed xscreensaver, and a lot (90%) of the screensavers say they're uninstalled. How can I fix that? Is this even the place to go? [19:50] i'm sure a search will come up with answers [19:50] !info ajenti [19:50] Package ajenti does not exist in utopic === james is now known as Guest76531 [19:50] ok thanks [19:53] is there any way for me to 1:1 copy an exFAT SD card to a ext4 SD card, maintaining all file metadata like date created etc etc? [19:55] how do you do file sharing [19:55] gregfrank, what kind of file sharing are you referring to? [19:56] porn [19:56] lol [19:57] attention grabber right there ;) [19:57] i have a desktop that has a server just the server and i also have a laptop i want to transfer files and do backup to server [19:57] are they both running the same OS? [19:57] gregfrank: You should use SSH/SFTP for that [19:57] Assuming you're using a Unix on both [19:57] szevasztok [19:57] gregfrank, rsync [19:58] Hey [19:58] It's a lot harder to set up on Windows. [19:58] i have the ssh installed [19:58] then you can scp files around [19:58] english please [19:59] i also have vm on laptop with windows 7 on it [19:59] i have ssh installed and it works [20:01] what is rsync [20:01] Hi [20:02] Is it possible to mount the same nfs share in two different locations on the same file system with autofs? [20:03] MonsieurBon: Yes [20:03] MonsieurBon: Well, I don't know what "autofs" is... but... [20:03] usr13, what might be the problem if autofs only mounts both mountpoints after a "sudo service autofs restart" and not at boot time? [20:05] MonsieurBon: WHat I do know is that I can mount a nfs share from multiple clients. [20:06] MonsieurBon: So it's mounting two shares? [20:06] usr13, no, it should be mounting the same share on two different mount points on the same client [20:07] Beware terminal users, there's a remote code execution flaw/virus in ubuntu when you use the terminal commando "less" to investigate files. [20:07] I have the feeling that using debian instead of ubuntu for servers will get me more of the server resources. is this correct or the difference in performance/resource consumption is negligible between ubuntu and debian? [20:07] usr13, eg. in /home/user1/media and in /home/user2/media [20:07] MonsieurBon: "the same share on two different mount points"? Is that really what you mean? [20:08] or not just ubuntu, but linux in general. [20:08] Hi. I am using Ubuntu Server 14.04 and have two questions about Apache. [20:08] pressure679: do you have any proof of this? 'virus' is definitely rubbish. [20:08] blwww: ok? [20:09] daftykins: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2851692/less-means-more-to-malware-authors-targeting-linux-users.html [20:09] usr13, yes, that's why I'm saying in. I want to mount 1.2.3.4:/someshare in /home/user1/media and also in /home/user2/media. I want both users to be able to use the nfs share if they log in. In fact it's working if I restart the autofs service, but not after the boot. [20:09] 1. In /etc/apache2/sites-avilable there is the file '000-default.conf'. If I have added a vHost there is no reason so keep this file, right? Or is this file important? [20:10] blwww: typically back that up to your ~ then rename it to your new vhost e.g. domain.com.conf [20:10] 2. In the same directory there is the file 'default-ssl.conf'. Can someone explain me the sense of the file? [20:10] blwww: no, but i wouldn't worry about that one :) [20:10] blwww: these are more tasks for you to consult apache documentation on, if you want to learn to administrate a web server. [20:11] blwww: bear in mind you will need to add two additional directives to the vhost.conf once you set it [20:11] daftykins: So I can delete '000-default' if I have configured a vHost. So it is a easy template? [20:11] usr13, I just found this in syslog: automount[5186]: do_umount_autofs_direct: couldn't get ioctl fd for direct mount /home/user1/media [20:11] blwww: well you will have to a2dissite it first else apache won't be happy. or just delete the symlink'd one in sites-enabled too. [20:12] I have 94GB of photos and videos which I want to backup to 20 dvd medias I'm going to store for years. I prefer to store the files one by one instead of creating a 4.7GB tar file. If I can encrypt each file before writting to the disk, better! But I need a script or a program to encrypt and allocate the files to maximum efficiency use of the medias. Somebody can help me? [20:12] daftykins: Thank you for your help. So you also don't know the sense of 'default-ssl.conf'? [20:13] blwww: i couldn't explain it and be 100% correct, no. so i must point you to apache docs :) most likely it's the site definition for SSL access [20:14] piero: why dont you use an ext hdd? [20:14] Is there a torrent client that I can use where you can select what files to download from a large pack of files in a torrent? Transmissions seems not to offer this :( [20:14] daftykins: Thank you. Good bye! :) [20:15] EriC^^, I already have the dvds and I'll send the medias to my parents home (to protect my data agaisnt fire, thieves, etc..). I dont want to buy a $100 external disk [20:16] i think it should be $20 or so [20:16] hello [20:16] I already have a backup in my external drive.. but it can burn in the same fire or be taken by a theft in my house [20:16] EriC^^, I live in Brasil.. its $100 here === kpease_ is now known as kpease [20:17] iam trying this solution http://askubuntu.com/questions/341979/what-to-do-about-the-disk-drive-for-dev-mapper-cryptswap1-is-not-ready-yet-or !

[20:17] hello. How do i get list of packages installed on my system - and dewscription for a package with a given name? [20:18] hii [20:18] Kurvivor`, "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages" will drop a text will everything installed in home. [20:18] with* [20:18] Why i dont have a line that starts with word, cryptswap1 inside my crypttab file ? [20:19] bubbasaures: thanks! [20:20] Kurvivor`, You can use that list for re installs as well. [20:20] also, is emacs 25 in packages yet? [20:21] Kurvivor`: apt-cache search emacs [20:21] (after an update) [20:21] Hi, I have a problem with my webcam. (Actually with Skype) It looks so dark, but when I use the webcam software it a normal picture that I get. I don't get it .. [20:21] thanks again [20:22] Mongey: Not sure what to make of it. (Again, I'm not an autofs user, maybe someone else will have some answers for you.) (I've always just mounted nfs shares with a simple fstab entry.) [20:22] nedal: the light emitted by your monitor and reflected upon your face is often contributory [20:22] nedal, So you can get a good picture right? [20:22] seems it is not there [20:22] MonsieurBon: Not sure what to make of it. (Again, I'm not an autofs user, maybe someone else will have some answers for you.) (I've always just mounted nfs shares with a simple fstab entry.) [20:22] piero: ok, well aes encryption won't make the size larger [20:23] nedal: so a large white window from your 'webcam software' might light your face better than skype's UI alone [20:23] bubbassaures_ when I use the software it s a good picture but when I use skype it's so dark [20:24] nedal, The camera by itself is fine but skype is dark? [20:24] reisio I m using windows 7 too (disk partitions) and the picture is very clear on skype in there [20:24] bubbassaures_ yes ! === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [20:25] nedal: can you show us a screenshot of each situation? (app working well, & skype working poorly) [20:25] reisio: Skype is not an open-source application so I'm not sure we would have any way to troubleshoot or figure out whay it's not operating properly. [20:25] piero: as for the script i guess you'd have to encrypt and copy a file, check the remaining space and search for a file that fits, and repeat the process [20:25] usr13: you think Windows users can't troubleshoot things?... [20:26] reisio_ when can I send the screen captures ? [20:26] piero: you wont get the maximum efficiency, but it'll be ok you'd have to get into optimization algorithms but it's overkill [20:26] nedal: http://imgur.com/ [20:26] reisio: Well, I suppose they can, but we are not Windows users. So how is that relevant? [20:26] usr13: I'm not really sure how anything you've brought up is relevant :) [20:27] nedal, This a skype from it's website or the ubuntu repos? [20:27] reisio: Not sure what you brought up is relevant. [20:29] reisio: bubbasaures has asked you a question.... [20:29] not exactly correct [20:30] bubbasaures_ I don't know, it was giving with the distribution [20:30] bubbasaures: :) [20:31] nedal: screenshots [20:31] nedal, Cool, can you pastebin the out put of grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} [20:31] bubbasaures: Oh, it is nedal with the Skype issue, not reisio Sorry...

I asked this like hundred times but still not get it [21:03] nedal: "what the total number of the command ls -l refers to"? myself... dunno what that means [21:04] which version of php will be installed when i do this: sudo apt-get install php5-fpm? [21:05] bprompt_ when you type the command ' ls -l' there is a total number printed on screen; what does it refers to ?

[21:12] Harry: Without more than 4GB of RAM, there isn't a lot of benefit to using 64-bit. [21:12] Harry: What error are you receiving when you try to boot the USB drive? [21:13] Harry: g4vr0che if your hardware can use 64bit install 64bit [21:13] Thankyou g4vr0che, I just want to find out why it wouldnt boot from the 64 bit installer. [21:13] Tried to read the FAQ section on x-chat without succes. Thanks [21:13] Harry: did you md5sum the iso? [21:13] No, I am not sure how to do that. [21:13] Did you get an error message when you tried to boot the USB? [21:13] It was just a black screen, no beeps or anything. [21:14] k1l is probably right. It sounds like a sum problem. [21:14] Do you have another computer you can use to check the sum? I can help you out with it. [21:15] I am on my desktop at the moment with Window 8, I can boot the netbook into 32bit Xubuntu [21:15] Where is the .iso stored? [21:15] bprompt_ this is what it gives http://imgur.com/0I4G9ne so can you find the link ? [21:15] Its on my desktop, Windows 8 [21:15] Harry: see this: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/ubuntu-13-10-64-bit-auf-lenovo-s205-installier/ (english version included) [21:16] that seems to be a common issue with your laptop [21:16] http://sourceforge.net/projects/md5summer/ [21:16] Probably want to use something like that. Feed it your .iso, and it will spit out an md5 [21:16] Harry: if you have the iso on your windows box, then download and install the freebie winMd5sum it's a bit nicer than the md5sume included with most linux versions [21:17] Ok, I will try these options, thankyou for helping me this is quite helpful! [21:18] Once you have the sum, you can check it on this page for 14.10: http://releases.ubuntu.com/utopic/MD5SUMS [21:18] Or this one for 14.04: http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/MD5SUMS [21:19] Thanks, I am using Xubuntu at the moment, I missed the X, was recommended to me as its good on netbooks I am told. [21:19] Harry: Ah, I'll have to look up the links for hta [21:19] *that [21:20] Harry: here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [21:21] Match your .iso name to the column on the right, then the column on the left has the md5. It needs to match *exactly* [21:21] I checked the values, and they are verified as matching in the software! [21:21] What was the value you got? [21:22] Current value : 8b06ac9d76186721312c17a851801e2e === Donskoy is now known as skinkitten [21:22] The original valie : 8b06ac9d76186721312c17a851801e2e [21:22] Hrm... [21:23] Harry: Did you have a blinking cursor or anything? [21:23] There was nothing! Although I just followed the link you sent me earlier, it mentioned deleting the EFI folder from the USB, and now it is booting into the 64bit installer! :) [21:24] nedal: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7401704/what-is-that-total-in-the-very-first-line-after-ls-l [21:24] Ah [21:24] The USB stick is lighting up, it is loading Xubuntu 64bit live version :) The logo is spinning......am now in Xubuntu 64 bit desktop! === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [21:24] The UEFI must have been trying to boot the disk, but couldn't read the bootloader [21:25] With that gone, it's now falling back to legacy boot instead.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:44] I was trying to install PySoy on Raring, but it complained that libgles2-mesa-dev depended on libegl1-mesa-dev which in turn was not going to be installed because it depended on libegl1-mesa-drivers=10.1.0-4ubuntu5 whereas Ubuntu 14.04.1 came with a newer version of it. [21:44] unbuntu desktop, gnome desktop, kbuntu desktop [21:44] im guessing kubuntu is is minimized ? [21:44] i know [21:44] k0nichiwa: none of them [21:45] k0nichiwa: lubuntu one [21:45] Someone said that I shoudl not need to manually downgrade stuff, so what *should* I do? [21:45] i dont think thats avail via tasksel [21:45] i guess ill just do ubuntu desktiop [21:45] i wanna have the ubuntu repositories replace the mint one's [21:45] k0nichiwa: do you need a destkop there at all? [21:45] Does the information that we enter into the search windows get saved, and sent to outside corporations? [21:46] kieron-dell: dont do that. reinstall a official ubuntu. [21:46] k11 no i thought id just try it to see what its like [21:46] lubuntu is avail by tasksel [21:46] TriNiTy_: you can turn that off in system settings -> privacy settings [21:46] TriNiTy_: Google is your friend. (TL;DR: I think it does get sent to Ubuntu, and god knows what was there in the EULA; but you can disable that from System Preferences.) [21:46] is there a way to make a desktiop persist the way a shell does with tmux ? [21:47] so if i lose my connection, when i reconnect its still there in the same state ? [21:47] Anyone know how to solve this EGL stuff? [21:48] k0nichiwa: that really sounds awkfull. do you really need that gui? are there no real CLI programs for that jobs? [21:48] really [21:48] as i said i thought id just give it a try i have nothing to lose [21:48] and there isnt anything else in the background that couriers information to other people? [21:48] a micro instance costs 0.013 cents per hour [21:48] if i dont like it ill delete the instance and try again or jsut not use the desktop [21:48] if i install a dkestop i dont have to use it [21:48] TriNiTy_: what is the issue with: turn it off on privacy settings? [21:49] linux is created under the pretesne that they are an open platform [21:49] buenas noches [21:49] algun gestor para badass [21:49] and i dont like the fact that they are actually spying on people when they move under he pretense [21:49] again is there a way to have an X session persist after you lose our connection ? [21:49] maybe thats the efault behavior [21:49] for them to presume that it is alright is a bad thing in general [21:49] TriNiTy_: is there any technical ubuntu issue right now? [21:49] k0nichiwa: How is X losing its connection? [21:50] yea this is it [21:50] how can i eliminate it from the code? [21:50] I need help with doing that [21:50] TriNiTy_: turn it off in privacy settings [21:50] pici because im connecting form a coffee shop ? [21:50] i cant ,when i try and install "UBUNTU STUDIO" .... i end up with the low latency kernels [21:50] im using it remotely which is what X was originally designed to support [21:50] I cant do that since i turned of the GUI [21:50] how do you do it throught the command prompt? [21:50] TriNiTy_: are you kidding me? [21:51] *off [21:51] TriNiTy_: aka mendax. stop trolling [21:51] im serious [21:51] I was trying to install PySoy on Raring, but it complained that libgles2-mesa-dev depended on libegl1-mesa-dev which in turn was not going to be installed because it depended on libegl1-mesa-drivers=10.1.0-4ubuntu5 whereas Ubuntu 14.04.1 came with a newer version of it. Someone said that I should not need to manually downgrade stuff just to get EGL, so what *should* I do? [21:51] anyone use tinyproxy + ssh tunneling ? [21:51] could you please answer my question ? [21:51] k0nichiwa: So you're doing ssh -x ? [21:52] YatharthROCK: Are you aware that Raring is no longer supported? [21:52] Pici: Ack, a slip of the tongue (finger?). [21:52] Pici: I meant 14.04.1. [21:53] pixi i dont know am i ? [21:53] YatharthROCK: Also, do you mean python-soya or something else? [21:53] k0nichiwa: I don't know. [21:53] its been a long time since ive used X remotely [21:53] Pici: No, I mean PySoy, a fork of the Soya3D project. [21:53] i just like the idea of using a desktop as a client thats hosted on a remote server [21:53] seems magical [21:54] ssh tunneling is kind of magical also [21:54] but i cant get ssh tunneling + tinyproxy to work so far [21:54] k0nichiwa: Nowadays people just use VNC or similar if they need to connect to a remote desktop running Ubuntu [21:54] To clarify: I was trying to install PySoy on *Trusty Tahr*, but it complained that libgles2-mesa-dev depended on libegl1-mesa-dev which in turn was not going to be installed because it depended on libegl1-mesa-drivers=10.1.0-4ubuntu5 whereas Ubuntu 14.04.1 came with a newer version of it. Someone said that I should not need to manually downgrade stuff just to get EGL, so what *should* I do? [21:54] hm that might work better [21:55] doesnt anyone use tinyproxy ? [21:56] curious to see if anyone has that working because i think i had thing sset up properly yet tinryproxy is supposed to be reliable [21:56] and ssh tunneling was working, i used that to connect to my server as if i were coming from localhost there [21:58] !bug [21:58] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

I've done it on my ubuntu machine, first with ubuntu startup disk creator, and another with UNetbootin [22:39] JavaJosh: nuke the disk with a FAT format, then 'dd' the ISO on via "sudo dd if=/path/to/ISO of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" where sdX is the device name of your flash drive, don't select "sdb1" though - it has to be "sdb" for example [22:39] JavaJosh: You might try just using dd to write the image directly to the drive.

[22:49] daftykins: could you rephrase that? i don't understand? it is a working computer, worked fine with windows 8 === rigor789 is now known as rigor789|away [22:49] hi guys i have a problem with my wifi drivers [22:49] daftykins: im trying this out http://askubuntu.com/questions/471012/ubuntu-14-04-lts-fails-to-start-with-a-kernel-panic [22:50] it keeps disconnecting ever so often [22:50] AlexPortable: so go on the hunt for a service you like and if there is a plugin for it in rhythmbox [22:51] JavaJosh: that's for an install, not a live session [22:51] daftykins: aye dios mios, it is one thing after another trying to get ubuntu on this laptop [22:54] k1l: will do. Thanks [22:54] JavaJosh: Windows 8 is still in one piece and bootable i take it? [22:55] daftykins: nope, not as of just now! now I cannot even get into windows 8. I had to hold shift when shutting down windows 8 to tell it to reboot to the flash drive, now when i reboot, even when trying to boot from the Win HDD, it is pretending that the HDD is not bootable. [22:56] daftykins: integrating windows 8 with the hardware with this secure boot crap was an awful experiment. [22:56] daftykins: i can't even get to the GRUB now to add parameters [22:56] check ur bios [22:57] Ahmuck: me? [22:57] Lazuratus: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch06.html#samba2-CHP-6-TABLE-2 " Logging Configuration Options" maybe of some use. :) [22:57] JavaJosh: no, the laptop you're on is just wonky. not had any issues with it where i've dealt with EFI systems [22:58] daftykins: my lord, after 10 reboots, now i am at the ubuntu screen to install...lets try this out [22:58] yes. an option u could use is dban [22:58] dban will get u a clean drive [22:58] JavaJosh: i would not waste my time. memtest that thing [22:58] without having to worry about backdoored software on the drive [22:58] Ahmuck: im googling dban [22:59] running memory test [22:59] dban isn't necessary at all. could just set bios to boot to legacy or whatever, and use ubuntu to wipe the disk [22:59] Ben64: when booting legacy in the BIOS i can't even see my ubuntu flash drive [23:00] UEFI is the only way to see it *scratches head* [23:00] hmm... [23:00] can you turn off secureboot [23:00] done [23:00] it's been off [23:00] well thats good [23:00] i couldn't get to the flash drive with it on [23:00] "OS IS NOT SECURE DERP" I'm like wtf is this. damn it windows.. [23:01] memtest is running now [23:01] let me put it this way. backuping up my new computer, then getting ready to use dban i got a call "Why are you changing things" in relation to the computer. === cyphase_ is now known as Guest65152 [23:02] Ahmuck: i don't believe you [23:02] Ahmuck: got a call? what? [23:02] unless it was a work machine :P [23:02] sounds like tinfoil hatish fud [23:03] Ahmuck: call from whom? [23:03] squinty: thank you, I'll bookmark the page in case the share breaks again... I followed the "Windows 7 connectivity problems" section on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba/Troubleshooting and the share works again (for now) [23:04] is ubuntu rolling release? [23:04] no [23:04] Lazuratus: yw. good to hear you are back up and running. ;) [23:05] how do i install the right drivers for my wifi card? [23:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface - read this [23:05] JavaJosh: [23:05] Ahmuck: k [23:05] JavaJosh: heh, we don't know [23:05] * Ahmuck reading up on UEFI [23:05] guys, i am having trouble with my ubuntu system [23:06] master_baiter_: you should change your name [23:06] Ben64: why? [23:06] doesn't sound appropriate for this channel [23:06] how come that Debian is rolling release while ubuntu is not ? [23:07] really? i guess nobody here likes fishing [23:07] linuxator: debian is not === mniejbasi is now known as kombaktu1404 [23:07] linuxator: please make sure you know what rolling release is. arch is a rolling release for example [23:08] In 2011, Microsoft announced that computers certified to run its Windows 8 operating system had to ship with secure boot enabled using a Microsoft private key. Following the announcement, the company was accused by critics and free software/open source advocates (including the Free Software Foundation) of trying to use the secure boot functionality of UEFI to hinder or outright prevent the... [23:08] ...installation of alternative operating systems such as Linux. JavaJosh [23:09] Ahmuck: that's ancient news that was completely turned about face, history lessons don't seem particularly useful here either [23:09] we deal in the here and now [23:10] Ahmuck: I knew this when it happened. I don't like it [23:10] What software could I use to turn a USB camera into a network camera? [23:10] JavaJosh: new computer or older one? [23:10] Ahmuck: this is new enough to have windows 8 on it [23:10] Ahmuck: i'm not sure when he got it [23:10] k1l, ok,thanx.but as far as i remember i never had to reinstall Debian [23:11] *shrugs*, i'd dban the drive [23:11] linuxator: you dont have to reinstall ubuntu, too [23:11] linuxator: i think you dont know what the point of rolling release is. [23:11] I lost sound on my Ubuntu 12.04. How can I restart my sound driver without rebooting? I restarted pulseaudio but it has not restored sound. [23:12] k1l, good news [23:13] linuxator: so is there a technical issue behind that questions? [23:14] k1l, no,thanx.just asking [23:15] transmission-daemon has its rpc whitlest set to allow only 127.0.0.1 [23:16] k1l, i was comsidering installinh lts ubuntu [23:16] i did an ssh tunnel from my local port 2000 to its port which is 9091 on the remote machine [23:16] its telling me my ip address is not alowed, any ideas ? [23:16] linuxator: if you dont want to upgrade all 6 months that is a good choice [23:16] i tested the ssh tunnel by doing the same thing to remote port 80 from local port 2001 and it worke dfine [23:16] very confused [23:16] JavaJosh: on my computer i used gparted to view the partitions. there were four partitions as primary. old school only allowed 4 primarys. i rebooted to windows, used the backup software option so i could re-construct the drive when i deceded to sell it 3 years from now, rebooted, dbaned (it took several hours) and then rebooted and intstalled [23:17] i shoudl appear to be comeing from 127.0.0.1 when i do localhost:2000 shoudlnt i ??? [23:17] MKCoin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/230888/is-there-another-way-to-restart-the-sound-system-if-pulseaudio-alsa-dont-work [23:19] suddenly nobody is willing to talk about ssh tunneling relate dissues , people were very helpful a few days back [23:19] im not trying to do somthing hackerish here [23:20] squinty I'll try it a few times and see if it works. It stopped working after a suspend, as someone in the comments there stated [23:22] hm, squinty I am getting this as part of the alsa restart: "(failed: modules still loaded: snd-hda-codec-hdmi snd-hda-codec-realtek snd-hda-intel snd-hda-codec snd-hwdep snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc)" [23:27] mformat a: mformat: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such file or directory === kpease_ is now known as kpease [23:28] plt: http://askubuntu.com/questions/339115/format-usb-drive-using-mformat [23:30] undefiner reference to TCanvas [23:30] MKCoin: quick googling for some of that error message ("failed: modules still loaded: snd-hda-codec-hdmi") returns quite a few hits [23:30] need help with ubuntu's smart linking issue [23:31] ANYONE ? [23:31] hi === kpease is now known as kpease_ [23:32] buenas noches [23:33] Ok, I fixed it. For reference squinty or anyone else, I found the solution here, involving the script shown here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Getting_ALSA_to_work_after_suspend_.2BAC8_hibernate [23:35] MKCoin: thanks for the update...good to hear you got it fixed :) [23:36] The trs-80 color computer copy utilities and the emulator requires it to be named fd0 [23:38] Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W540 [23:39] I cannot get my external monitor to work for me [23:39] Hey, can someone give me their opinion of Xubuntu vs. Ubuntu? Essentially Xfce vs Unity DE's [23:39] darknessthekidd: try them both out and make your own opinion [23:39] darknessthekidd: both work. so best is to try them and see if they work for you, too [23:40] darknessthekidd, I prefer xfce [23:40] I have used both, I don't know which one I like. xD [23:40] but what I like the most is gnome-shell [23:40] darknessthekidd: we cant help you on that one :) [23:40] hi [23:40] darknessthekidd: Perhaps try others as well to get a better comparison. Like Lubuntu and Kubuntu [23:40] I've used both of those also. [23:40] I have tired a lot of different distro's. [23:41] I have an optimus video card [23:41] could I blacklist both nouveau and nvidia [23:41] to get ubuntu to use the intel drive? [23:41] theslow1: use nvidia-prime for optimus cards [23:41] Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu. [23:42] I have used more than those. But those are ones that come to mind. [23:42] theslow1: if its set up right you dont need to blacklist something [23:42] darknessthekidd: since this is not a technical issue you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic for the opinions of the people there :) [23:43] k1l, everything works fine, except for my external monitor. (which only works when I set primary display as VGA in bios) but then my built in display does not work [23:43] My PC only has an intel intergrated graphics, never used anything other than an intergrated so I couldn't help with this one theslow1 [23:43] Okay, will do. Sorry about the bother. [23:44] yea optimus is a huge pita [23:45] theslow1: so you run nvidia-prime? [23:48] k1l, so far I am seeing "command not found" when I run nvidia-prime [23:49] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics [23:49] but it is installed: https://dpaste.de/NUZV [23:50] Hello, let's say I want to play music with one program (say, Nightingale), and a podcast with another program (say, vLC) [23:50] damn, lightdm is requirement? [23:50] is there any way in ubuntu to pan the audio from one source left and the other one right? [23:50] thanks k1l I'll try it [23:53] rodney77, you want to play "song1" from "speaker1" and "song2" from "speaker2" at the same time? [23:54] rodney77, I am not sure if this can be done, [23:54] hi, how do unpack libgmp.tar.lz on ubuntu feisty ... thers no solution at hand is there ? wank o_0 wank [23:54] thanks for the reply, theslow1. Sort of. If I could control the panning so one would be slight left and one slight right, that would be even better. [23:55] nobody ? unpack libgmp on ubuntu feisty howto ? [23:55] why isnt 7z on ubuntu ? [23:56] flashram, I think it is [23:56] rodney77: might want to try asking in #ubuntu-studio https://ubuntustudio.org/tour/audio/ [23:56] flashram, p7zip-full [23:56] just installing p7zip-full thkx :) [23:56] flashram: ubuntu feisty? really? [23:56] so is it an x app ? or a terminal app ? [23:57] Nasa use Ubuntu, is that true? [23:57] the plan is to only run xterm in xming via qemu [23:57] full is both [23:57] so whats the cmd line for lz ? [23:57] flashram: you know that version is horribly eol, out of date, dead, no longer viable etc :P [23:58] and no trojans :p [23:58] flashram, you have tried "tar -xvf filename" [23:58] flashram: it got security issues that a 14 year old learns to use in school [23:58] flashram: so please use a ubuntu that is actually supported [23:58] p7zip creates instead of unpacking o_0 [23:59] ok, thanks squinty [23:59] i dont support ubuntu ... they never support me running old repos [23:59] i like it tho
