[00:05] hello [00:05] hi [00:06] I just installed ubuntu on a machine I have. After reboot, I find that my Mouse and Keyboard are not even getting power. === MDT- is now known as MDTech-us_MAN [00:07] though just a few minutes ago they were workign fine while I was installing Ubuntu [00:07] my ubuntu is very slow with every thing need helpeen [00:08] MDTech-us_MAN: USB devices ? check in bios for USB legacy and "plug and play" . [00:08] ok [00:08] Bashing-om, but it was working on live cd. [00:09] is there something different? [00:09] ill take a look any way [00:09] MDTech-us_MAN: Not the same drivers . See what bios hands off to the operating system . [00:09] is it normal for flash to use 30+% of cpu? [00:10] when playing music without video [00:10] who knows, probably [00:11] got any ideas on how to fix it [00:11] If apt-cache show PACKAGE shows two different candidates, how do I specify which one to use in "apt-get install PACKAGE"? [00:13] ehm: I ran "apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev/trusty-updates" and it worked. I guess that I gave up on google an instant too soon [00:13] Kobiak: I believe you just add a - then the version number you want after that. But you'll want to set up apt preferences to pin teh package. [00:13] Bashing-om [00:14] I have Legacy USB enabled [00:14] is that bad? [00:14] I've got a new 14.04 LTS box, is there any way to install a slightly older version of PHP? 5.4 rather than 5.5? I don't see a package for it, but I'm not sure if there's a way to get to outdated packages. [00:15] devilspgd [00:15] MDTech-us_MAN: Not at all nad if you have PS/2 key board . [00:15] check in the repostories for a deb file [00:15] Bashing-om, well I have a USB keyboard [00:15] nad/bad* [00:17] devilspgd: http://www.howtogeek.com/117929/how-to-downgrade-packages-on-ubuntu/ [00:17] Bashing-om, so what do I do? [00:17] whats the problem? [00:17] MDTech-us_MAN: OK, set so 'legacy' is not enabled, and make sure "plug and play" is enabled/ see what then results . [00:17] Hey, everyone. I'm trying to install from Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS to my desktop computer SSD, but the live USB I'm using does not recognize my Crucial M4 or my Hybrid SSD (SATA controller). Debian 7.6 live USB is able to see both SSD and hybrid drives, but the RAID-1 array appears as two separate drives. [00:18] What could be happening here? Do I need to install some drivers to the Live USB to get it to recognize the AHCI/IDE controllers? [00:19] MDTech-us_MAN: Thanks... That's actually where I started before I got here. Unfortunately this is a new box which never had an older version, so apt-cache doesn't show anything older. [00:21] devilspgd [00:21] here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5 [00:21] you can see versions of the package there [00:22] all ubuntu packages are on launchpad [00:23] devilspgd: also see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/92019/how-to-install-specific-ubuntu-packages-with-exact-version === rayston is now known as Tenju === petra is now known as Guest79909 === Guest79909 is now known as PetraArkanian [00:28] why isn't there an easier way to add repos to sources.list? [00:28] why manually write to some file [00:28] hi all, i'm running into an issue with webapps crashing on 14.10. has anyone encountered this or know a fix for it? [00:29] oh maybe it's apt-add-repository... [00:29] PetraArkanian: Have you checked to see if it's browser-dependent? [00:29] diamonds [00:30] yo [00:30] its in the software center [00:30] oh [00:30] somewhere in file or tools [00:30] or somethign like that [00:30] I forgot [00:30] diamonds: There is an option in Synaptic Package Manager to add external repositories. It's the same format as editing sources.list, though. [00:31] AgentHeX: its built into unity and doesnt seem to have a dependancy on browser. [00:31] * diamonds nods [00:31] Bashing-om, its still not working :( [00:31] ty AgentHeX [00:31] this is ridiculous... http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ [00:32] I can't grok why mongo has so many f'ing install steps [00:32] PetraArkanian: What I'm asking is, if you change browsers (Chrome instead of Firefox), does it still happen? [00:32] afk [00:33] why doesn't my keyboard and mouse work? [00:33] I keep trying to fix my damn Windows 7 install that shat the bed after a BIOS update (ahcix64s.sys causes BSOD). If I could just do that, I'd be 90% done with today. [00:34] MDTech-us_MAN: Sorry, that was the only thought I had, If ya got an old PS/2 keyboard around, might try it and see ? How old is the mother board in your box ? [00:35] tghe motherboard is a couple months old [00:35] AgentHeX: sounds like your SATA ports are in the wrong mode. [00:35] I have a Windows 7 .iso, but I'm having a hell of a time copying it to a USB stick to use. Linux is always trivial to flash and just works. I'm a CS grad, and I just can't stand the stupidity anymore. [00:35] I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard and it magically started working [00:36] AgentHeX: i'm finding the stupidity of discussing Windows issues in a Linux channel to be pretty great (: [00:36] I know. [00:36] the PS/2 keyboeard works [00:36] but I still need my usb keyboard [00:36] MDTech-us_MAN: WOW ! As to the why of that, I can not explain .. Is now working with USB keyboard ? [00:37] AgentHeX: yea it does. [00:37] no [00:37] daftykins: I have tried all the modes possible, and Windows still BSOD on boot. Linux boots fine, prime95, memtest, check out, so it's just some stupid driver issue. I want to replace W7 with Linux, but I need Steam and virtualization support. That leaves me with *buntu or shoehorning Steam into Debian/Arch/other. [00:37] USB still not working [00:37] AgentHeX: or give up gaming! [00:38] any ideas? [00:39] PetraArkanian: Are you using free GPU drivers or proprietary binaries? Are they the latest release? [00:39] daftykins: NEVER! You'll have to pry the mouse out of my cold, dead, mountain-dew-sticky hands. [00:39] MDTech-us_MAN: No good ideas, just play with bios settings for USB. ( is this new motherboard EFI ? ) [00:40] MDTech-us_MAN: pull the mains. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:40] now that I I think [00:41] I do have EFI [00:41] what software can I used to compress a 1gb video to 500mb ? [00:41] samthewildone, #ffmpeg [00:42] ohoh!!!!!! [00:42] I foud something! [00:42] I just ran dmesg [00:43] I see a lot of USB spam [00:43] MDTech-us_MAN: just stick to the facts rather than the running commentary, please :) [00:44] usb 7-1: new low-speed USB device number 48 using ohci-pci [00:44] usb 7-1: device not accepting address 48 error -100 === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [00:47] night people [00:48] anyone? [00:50] MDTech-us_MAN: as i said, power off, pull mains... see if the USB controller reset helps. === g4vr0che is now known as g4vr0che_ [00:51] mains is what? [00:51] electricity. [00:51] oh [00:51] should I BIOS reset? [00:51] nope [00:52] ok [00:52] * MDTech-us_MAN gives it a try [00:53] * MDTech-us_MAN waits 30 sec [00:53] * MDTech-us_MAN powers it on [00:54] I see the num lock on during post [00:54] Ubuntu is booting up... [00:55] remember what i said about not needing a running commentary? [00:55] oh [00:55] ok === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:55] well, I started it up and it isn't working [00:57] I just ran dmesg and I see "device descriptor read/64, error -110 [00:58] Did a bit more reading, but I'm still completely lost. The closest I see to PHP pre-5.5 is 5.3 from precise-security, I have no idea whether that even helps me on 14.04, or whether I can remove php 5.5 and install something from precise. [00:59] you probobly can, devilspgd [00:59] devilspgd: why do you want an older version? [00:59] devilspgd, also you can compile source from here: http://php.net/downloads.php [01:00] Ben64: Short version, a PHP script isn't compatible. Longer version, WHMCS is built using an older version of ioncube, the ioncube loaders for 5.5 won't/can't load files built for older versions. [01:00] devilspgd: maybe you shouldn't use whmcs then [01:00] MDTech-us_MAN: Yeah, that's the next option. But that complicates the setup further, I was hoping to stay with defined packages to make future upgrades more straightforward. [01:00] Ben64: Maybe, but that's easier said than done in the short term. [01:00] use checkinstall ;) [01:01] devilspgd: better than solving a broken whmcs by breaking php [01:01] it generates a .deb package for you [01:02] Ben64: I was hoping to find a 5.4 instead of 5.5 as it's still an officially supported version of PHP, but at this point I'll take what I can get for the short term. === sarsaeol is now known as sarsgobblegobble === xubuntu is now known as Guest60047 [01:19] how do i make it so that alt tab is a separate window for seaparate window and doesnt group [01:22] hi [01:23] Hi!

I'd like to fix that [01:28] damn [01:28] sorry === Yukinotteru is now known as Yukitteru === timvishet is now known as timvisher [01:34] how do i get xfce4-terminal (or any other vte based terminal, for that matter) to set TERM to xterm-256color by default? === toast_ is now known as Guest39599 [01:37] hey [01:38] darronf__, [01:38] exit [01:41] hi can people see this? just installed a new irc client... [01:41] yes we can see this === john is now known as johnasassdwsgre [02:02] does everyone _really_ set TERM in their bashrc!? i can't believe this... :\ [02:03] timvisher: what are you talking about [02:04] it seems that vte based terminals (like gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, terminator) all set TERM to xterm by default, with no way to override it save for setting it in your bashrc [02:04] timvisher: grep -r TERM /etc/bash/ [02:04] which is crazy, so i must be searching for the wrong things [02:04] why is it crazy [02:04] no you can definitely override it [02:04] High Quality photos and videos http://tinyurl.com/ozfvxy3 [02:05] Ben64: because they support xterm-256color [02:05] you can export TERM=xterm-256color and get 256 colors [02:05] i fail to see how that is "crazy" [02:06] Ben64: because then you have to set TERM in your bashrc if you want 256colors, which then will break on any terminal emulator that doesn't actually support 256colors [02:06] i'm sure i'm completely misunderstanding something [02:06] for instance, you have to jump through hoops to use tmux, because tmux wants its TERM value to be screen-256color, which you then override in your bashrc [02:07] as opposed to it being set by the application that knows what it knows how to emulate [02:07] reisio: how? [02:07] timvisher: how what? [02:08] reisio: $ grep -r TERM /etc/bash/ [02:08] grep: /etc/bash/: No such file or directory [02:08] tmux doesn't need 256 [02:08] how do you override it without setting it in your bashrc? [02:08] Ben64: it does if you want 256colors [02:08] well duh [02:09] timvisher: ah, must be elsewhere on Debian distros [02:09] dpkg -L bash | grep etc [02:09] timvisher: why do you want to override it? [02:10] reisio: because i want 256color :) [02:10] for things like emacs, or any of the many cli programs that support 256color [02:11] timvisher: what makes you think you haven't got 256 colors? [02:11] identify encuss [02:11] sorry [02:11] reisio: tput colors: 8 [02:11] i typo [02:12] reisio: emacs list-colors-display: 8 colors [02:12] i mean, isn't this how programs decide how many colors to output? based on TERM? [02:12] reisio: but yeah, that's the whole point. the terminal _does_ support 256colors, but it doesn't tell anyone [02:12] timvisher: what makes you think you haven't got 256 colors? [02:12] instead it claims only 8 color support [02:12] timvisher: so... this discussion is pointless [02:12] 'cause you don't have a problem? :p [02:12] try #philosophy [02:13] haha [02:13] reisio: my problem is that in order to get 256colors, i have to override TERM in my bashrc, which means that i'm making claims about my terminal emulator in my bash configuration, which is, i maintain, crazy. [02:13] prove it [02:13] but i'd welcome an explanation as to why not [02:13] show me your non-256 color screenshot === mark- is now known as mark === mark is now known as Guest74905 === billxinli is now known as billli [02:31] Does anyone here use LDAP in their ubuntu, but use only SSH keys for SSH login?

[02:31] reisio: https://gist.github.com/timvisher/616148d07ad52653bb8f http://picpaste.com/upload.php http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_11262014_-_09_29_54_PM-bw65x0Uj.png [02:32] timvisher: what's the problem? [02:32] meh... s/upload.php/http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_11262014_-_09_16_32_PM-8WLEY859.png [02:33] so that screenshot is when TERM=xterm, and the second one is when TERM=xterm-256color [02:33] timvisher: what's the problem? [02:33] so because TERM=xterm, emacs thinks it only has access to 8 colors [02:33] when the terminal emulator (xfce4 in this case) does support 256 [02:33] but isn't reporting that to anyone, presumably because of vte [02:34] timvisher: what's the problem? [02:34] which presumbaly doesn't tell anything that it supports 256 colors because... ? [02:34] timvisher: what's the problem? [02:34] reisio: could you maybe take a more declarative approach and explain to me why there isn't a problem? i'm all out of ways to express what's not working here. [02:36] hello [02:37] why is the terminal emulator not reporting that it's capable of what it's capable of not a problem? [02:37] I'm trying to recover some data form a hard drive [02:37] *from [02:37] MDTech-us_MAN: gj [02:37] dmesg gives me loads of DID_BAD_TARGET errors [02:37] timvisher: why is it? [02:37] timvisher: somewhere, outside, there is a bear [02:37] is that a problem? Nope [02:38] somewhere, there is a fire [02:38] I'm guessing not in your terminal [02:38] if you find a problem, let someone know [02:38] is my hard drive f-ed? [02:38] MDTech-us_MAN: can you read data from it? [02:38] MDTech-us_MAN: http://serverfault.com/questions/520930/is-this-a-sign-of-dying-hard-drive [02:38] nope [02:38] MDTech-us_MAN: then your hard drive is messed up [02:38] replace it [02:38] ddrescue gives me 0B rescued [02:39] no backup [02:39] reisio: it's a problem because the programs running under it doesn't know to use 256 colors? [02:39] this is the one I forgot to backup [02:39] timvisher: what's a problem? [02:39] gaddamit [02:39] MDTech-us_MAN: live and learn [02:39] reisio: are you able to explain yourself any further? [02:39] timvisher: yup [02:39] would you mind? [02:40] timvisher: yes [02:40] need a problem first [02:42] reisio: what i'm asking you to explain is why you don't find what i'm describing to be a problem. i've documented that a program many people use won't use 256 colors unless TERM is set in such a way that it can expect the terminal emulator it is running under to support them. i've shown that xfce4-terminal (and presumably vte under the hood, i don't understand the internals here) _do_ support 256 colors, and yet they do not [02:42] set TERM=xterm-256colors outside of your bash configuration files or at the CLI. which means that i'm using bash configuration files to describe my terminal emulators capabilities, which will be wrong at some point [02:43] so please, explain as if to a 5 year old, why this isn't a problem? [02:43] not reading that [02:43] stating a problem does not take 10 lines of text [02:44] i've stated the problem in far les lines, but you maintain that it's not a problem. i'm asking you to explain why [02:44] less* [02:45] you don't have a problem [02:45] why? [02:46] for the same reason Mt. Everest is not cotton candy [02:46] it simply isn't [02:46] you simply haven't [02:47] reisio: it would be possible to explain why Mt. Everest is not cotton candy. you could talk about molecular structures and size differentials and many other things. can you not do the same thing here? [02:47] does anyone have experience with configuring pulseaudio in Ubuntu 14.04? [02:47] user1111119: many people have [02:48] timvisher: it might be possible to do that, but only a fool would _bother_ [02:48] it is not cotton candy [02:48] the end [02:49] reisio: so the statement your making is that i so fundamentally misunderstand computers, terminal emulators, bash, emacs, etc. that i am making the same level of error as confusing Mt. Everest w/ cotton candy? [02:50] I'm trying to configure pulseaudio for DRC. I can do it via pacmd but not in /etc/pulse/system.pa or default.pa [02:50] no, it's much worse than that [02:50] you think you have a problem even though you haven't [02:50] I also tried running the pacmd commands via rc.local but that's not working either [02:50] is there something you'd like to do that you are unable to do? [02:50] I think there isn't [02:51] user1111119: DRC? [02:51] i'd like to _not_ have to set TERm in my bashrc [02:51] dynamic range compression [02:51] for audio [02:51] because i shouldn't be setting TERM in bashrc [02:51] timvisher: like I said [02:51] using module-ladspa-sink [02:51] TERM describes the capabilities of the emulator, not bash [02:51] timvisher: try #twitter [02:52] reisio: done. [02:52] is what you're saying that it's not wrong to set TERM in bashrc? [02:52] I have a superuser question with no responses if it helps anyone [02:52] http://superuser.com/questions/845369/pacmd-dynamic-range-compression-ubuntu-14-04 [02:53] timvisher: :) [02:53] you don't listen [02:53] reisio: what haven't i heard? [02:53] user1111119: don't cross post [02:53] can you copy and paste it from scroll back? [02:53] timvisher: things [02:53] I sure can [02:54] sorry. should I copy the info in here? [02:54] i'd appreciate it. i'm not seeing anything that i missed [02:54] timvisher: that was my point [02:55] you aren't seeing :) [02:56] reisio: i really do promise i'm not trying to be obstinate here. i'm genuinely not seeing something, which i've admitted several times. can you provide any more help to enlighten me or are you done? [02:57] timvisher: what is it you cannot accomplish? [02:58] i cannot accomplish 256 colors without using bashrc [02:58] here's a pastebin of what I've tried so far http://pastebin.com/KG9FFNRf [02:59] timvisher: how are you trying to accomplish 256 colors? [03:02] Sorry, just read the topic again. Here's an ubuntu paste since I'm failing at following rules right now http://paste.ubuntu.com/9260542/ [03:03] reisio: for terminator, i tried editing ~/.config/termitator/config (or whatever that file should be), for xfce4-terminal i tried setting it in preferences [03:03] timvisher: to do what? [03:04] to get either one to set TERM to xterm-256color [03:04] timvisher: to do what? [03:05] to get things like emacs to know that the terminal supports 256 colors [03:06] timvisher: and then? [03:06] reisio: i don't understand the question? [03:07] timvisher: what do you get if emacs does what you want that you don't already get? [03:07] reisio: i get 256 colors for things like themes [03:07] which makes the program more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use [03:07] alright [03:07] show me a screenshot of your theme that isn't showing the colors you want [03:08] the two screenshots i sent earlier show that [03:09] instead of running emacs, run TERM=xterm-256color emacs [03:09] timvisher: two? [03:09] in this particular instance, i want hl-line to be a light gray, but there is no light gray in 8 color [03:09] all I saw was a screenshot with buttloads of colors [03:10] reisio: first paste had eroneous upload.php link, which i then corrected in my next message: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_11262014_-_09_16_32_PM-8WLEY859.png [03:10] what's the other screenshot? [03:11] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_11262014_-_09_29_54_PM-bw65x0Uj.png [03:12] this looks like a screenshot of a whole lot of colors [03:12] reisio: it is [03:12] timvisher: so what's the problem? [03:12] reisio: i can't set hl-line to a light gray unless i have 256colors [03:13] and i can't 256 colors unless TERM is set properly [03:13] timvisher: read this, please. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7617458/terminal-emacs-colors-only-work-with-term-xterm-256color [03:14] timvisher: it exaplins that this is how it works, and it's designed to be that way. You have not found a flaw, or a problem. You've found how to do what you want. [03:14] timvisher: so what's the problem? [03:14] i have read that [03:14] timvisher: so what is the problem? (in the words of reisio) [03:14] can any body tell how to add new kernel entry into grub.. doing it like this https://github.com/arjun024/mkernel/blob/master/_grub_grub2_config/grub2_config_with_ubuntu_14_04.txt [03:14] reisio: so i repeat then, that what you're saying is that it's not wrong to set TERM in your bashrc? [03:15] somsip: it appears the problem is it requires a tiny bit of effort to get 256 colors [03:15] and i'd accept a simple yes, although i still wouldn't understand why [03:15] why would it be wrong [03:15] skbly7: what are you doing, and why [03:15] Ben64: that's where I am with this too. I'm just getting tired of the channel being filled with this and thought I'd try to help. [03:15] it's your own personal config file [03:15] somsip: agreed. i [03:15] 've been watching this for quite a while now [03:16] i am trying to follow this blog : http://arjunsreedharan.org/post/82710718100/kernel-101-lets-write-a-kernel [03:16] because your bashrc shouldn't be describing the capabilities of the terminal emulator it's running in? [03:16] but adding new entry is creating problem it always show "file not found" when i select it [03:16] timvisher: there are many solutions listed on that link above, do one of them [03:17] Ben64: i understand that you can set TERM on the CLI just before the command, and it will work, but why is that not a kludgy workaround to the terminal emulator correctly reporting its capabilities? [03:17] i can solev this problem in a dozen ways, but none of them are the right one, which makes me think i'm missing something [03:17] solve* [03:17] skbly7: writing your own kernel definitely isn't supported here [03:17] you're missing that you don't have a problem :p [03:18] i will have a problem the moment i run tmux [03:18] Ben64: can you provide some channel for that please ?

Couldn't get my wifi network to show up so i did a full reinstall. no matter which version of ubuntu i try, i keep getting the GRUB error. anyone know of this issue??? [03:37] nuke it from orbit. [03:39] wish it were that simple. just been struggling for 2 days. askubuntu, stack exchange, still nothing that works [03:39] dmagus85: I'm a grub dunce, but what is 'the GRUB error' in case it's relevant? [03:40] !find innotop [03:40] File innotop found in mariadb-client-5.5, mysql-client-5.5, mysql-client-5.6 [03:40] dmagus85: i second this query. telling us an error'd help. i'd nuke the disk with a nice zero fill to the first 100MB of the disk though [03:41] Grub installation failed. The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. [03:41] ok, so an EFI setup [03:42] dmagus85: yeah - I'm useless at this stuff so wil leave it to the others. [03:42] somsip, right on lol [03:43] bed time for me sadly [03:43] EFI setup? i'll search it. but idk how to pull that off when it won't let me into desktop [03:46] how do you get out of insert moe in vim???

I don't even allocate a swap partition anymore. [04:00] Granted, I'm on BTRFS now, so I couldn't even if I wanted to. [04:01] actually, it's still doing it [04:01] wtf [04:01] beebop: doing what?

[05:22] probably not, because I do use it. [05:22] can you still move with the touchpad? :| [05:23] but anyway, why dont you downgrade to nvidia 331? [05:24] because every driver except 173 causes severe corruption and freezing. [05:24] Seven_Six_Two: what card [05:24] did you uninstalle others nvidia rivers? [05:25] before installing it [05:25] I just got back in to xfce, scrolled my mouse on the desktop to switch to desktop 1, and now it's a grey screen, no mouse cursor. that took all of 5 seconds. It's an 8200m. I let ubuntu's driver manager do what it will. I haven't manually installed anything. [05:25] even alt+ctrl+f1 doesn't work. [05:27] Seven_Six_Two: 8200m is supported under nvidia-331 [05:28] can i get more info when package fails to configure?

So I can't help others then? That's too bad... [05:30] so you are reinstalling ubuntu [05:30] Seven_Six_Two: Most people use computers to use specific applications, and the OS is generally not that relevant.. but i know what you mean [05:30] Seven_Six_Two: oh, well you can do that of course [05:31] i have an usb with ubuntu, just in case [05:31] Tommmmmy, no, I'm going to try mint. yes, I know it's the same, and yet it works better on my desktop... [05:31] i'm really suspecting user error on your part, Seven_Six_Two [05:31] orlock, it shouldn't be relevant. but when my computer freezes and I can't work, it is very relevant. [05:31] if you use the console, its the same xD [05:32] i could but its probably useless . im tryingt to install too old nvidia-96 on ubuntu 14.04 and i think its not gona work at least without making frankenstain like thing anyway [05:32] i want to learn hacking, i heard that this distro Backbox will help me to get started as a beginner [05:34] !backbox | scorpio_ [05:34] oh, thought that was a trigger [05:34] Seven_Six_Two: Yeah, its pissing me off too.

How can I prevent the computer from sleeping and the monitor from turning off at the command line ? [07:42] thanks [07:44] Hey! Im having some sort of trouble pinpointing the source of increased traffic on a Ubuntu machine running KVM/LibVirt virtualisation. I have tried from ifstat to nethog. No chance. Can someone give a hand? [07:47] I would have said NetHog too -- do you know what port it's running off of - the increased traffic? [07:47] /msg NickServ identify 123456 [07:48] -_- [07:50] umm, zlhgo? [07:51] sorry. [07:51] Anyone having issues with MaaS region importing from the Ubuntu main archive ? [07:51] zlhgo, no problem, just making sure you noticed [07:52] thanks [07:52] zlhgo, sure. pro-tip: don't enter sensitive commands while in a channel :) [07:53] so, still having issues. i'm running a virus scan now but i'm wondering if anyone could have an idea of what exactly could be happening, or how i can fix the problem. [07:53] Raa: can you explain what's going on [07:54] i tried to install skype and i couldn't even find it in the app center. i downloaded the package from the main site and installed it that way, the app center still didn't recognize it was installed [07:54] get it from partner Raa [07:55] i really don't think it's skype, i'm thinking there's a glitch in my system [07:55] !info skype partner | Raa [07:55] Raa: skype (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service. In component main, is extra. Version 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (partner), package size 15 kB, installed size 61 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [07:56] I don't think you have a virus on your system. I could be wrong however. [07:56] 1. That's TINY, and 2. Mighty white of MS to still support Skype on *nix. [07:57] oh the virus is something i suspect for other reasons, my sons account got a random protecter icon on it but i'll be looking into that later [07:58] i had his account set limeted, but then found out wine wil install things :/ yay [07:59] the site i got skype from was the official one, and it's linked in the ubuntu help site as well [07:59] hola [07:59] hola [08:00] I'm bored.... Sad... and lonely...... [08:01] aweeee cute girl is lonely, sadly this isn't the place to deal with that [08:01] seems i dont need to use nvidia driver after all . this time opensource driver works fine [08:01] <--- restrains himself from the obvious commentary [08:01] haha guest^ [08:02] but how i add more display resolutions ? im using xubuntu [08:02] annnywho, someone mentioned getting skype from "partner" what exactly is that? [08:02] I actually resorted to pulling down and installing the AMD driver in mine, and I can see a more solid refresh than with the pre-rolled one, imo. [08:03] I'm having some girl problems now, ex-bf--ugh!, can any guys PM me and help me with them? [08:03] I just wanted help. :( [08:03] DFeniks: are you still on ubuntu 10.10 [08:03] no [08:03] Cute_Girl_: wrong channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic [08:03] Yes, absolutely - in the terminal, type "apt-get install battery-operated-boyfriend" [08:04] now on 14.04 [08:04] DFeniks: usually all modes will be available to choose from, unless you have a weird monitor or something going on [08:05] Raa: you're mean... :( [08:06] well its not bad i have a lot modes , but on 10.10 with nvidia i had some mode that i liked [08:06] actually i'm very nice [08:06] try chatting up a chanel that isn't a help channel [08:08] U might be mean. Do you scare kids? :) [08:09] i simply wanted some 1.6 ratio resolution that isnt my max 1680 x 1050 its native , but its hard to see and slower for my old video === sherlock_ is now known as Guest27519 [08:16] does any one know the current way to run 32 bit binaries on ubuntu 14.04 [08:17] what do I need to install, it seems to have changed since the last time I had done it [08:19] I was only joking. LMAO!!!! [08:20] They weren't. LMAO!!!! [08:20] >.> [08:21] Accounts created with LDAP have a weird log-in shell.

[08:24] my shell was sh instead of bash [08:24] I can fix that in the ldap === gully_foyle_ja is now known as polgirl === polgirl is now known as aryangoddess [08:25] what a brutal evening. I installed mint on my misbehaving laptop bc of nvidia issues, and get video, network, and kernel panic issues. [08:26] Guest8199: I fixed it [08:26] https://i.imgur.com/BFCjEOe.jpg [08:27] I had to go on the LDAP server and change the default shell [08:27] What's so surprising about being a girl!!! [08:27] then restart slapd and nscd [08:28] Seven_Six_Two: randomly? install lm-sensors and monitor CPU temperature. you could have failing fans instead [08:28] Hey! Is there some decent tool to permanently analyze traffic from machines and report on anything malicious? like an IDS for standalone machines? [08:28] Cute_Girl_: I think it's the "Cute" bit people are surprised by. Stereotyping IT personnel = men and ugly women. Stereotypes all around. [08:28] ossec [08:29] dym: ossec [08:29] Xeus: aha [08:30] dym: ntopng: http://www.ntop.org/products/ntop/ [08:30] dym: comes complete with reports and a webbased interface on local machine. [08:31] hello [08:31] iptable: looks good. but does it have reporting features? [08:31] original install was xubuntu 14.10 64bit desktop, switched to ubuntu/unity via install ubuntu-desktop but would like to use the original ubuntu/unity login manager, at the moment still xfce style, i believe both use lightdm now, so how I can force my system to apply non-xfce ubuntu/unity defaults [08:32] Xeus: is this packaged for 'bunut yet? [08:32] no [08:32] dym: yes, as stated, comes with reports. Also comes with DPI inspection. By default it will report, graph and save everything! Pretty cool. [08:32] dym: just install it yourself [08:32] iptable: nah, i mean proactive reporting. [08:32] notifications, etc. [08:32] dym: oh, alerts [08:33] dym: no idea. [08:33] give it a try and you will know [08:33] dym: zabbix is pretty customisable with lots of plugins, but not sure if it has something to cover what you need [08:34] somsip: zabbix is more monitoring, no? [08:34] like nagios/icinga [08:34] dym: advise: note down all advises (zabbix, ntop, ossec) and try them all in a virtual machine to see which one you like. [08:35] dym: if you want alerts/notifications, you need a monitoring tool, like nagios. If you want traffic analysis, you use traffic analysis tools. If need be, you can make ntop report certain values to nagios for alerts for example. [08:35] dym: yes, but difficult to know exactly what you're after so thrown in as a possible for you to research [08:35] somsip: zabbix looks pretty awesome :) [08:35] don't use nagios [08:35] use a fork, like opsview [08:35] somsip: thanks. [08:35] Icinga! [08:35] dym: opsview is very good [08:35] Xeus: It works for me, but each to their own. [08:35] so is icinga [08:36] somsip: there are many required features that nagios doesn't have that are required in a lot of enterprise distributed environments [08:36] opsview looks very commercial [08:36] dym: it is [08:36] expensive [08:37] Icinga is good as gold and freely available [08:37] makes use of NRPE [08:37] write your own plugins => voila. [08:38] NRPE is ? [08:38] Nagios Remote Plugin Executor. [08:38] From the initial Nagios Project [08:38] Xeus: I chose zabbix after doing some research, but only have it setup for basic monitoring for now. Haven't had time to do the custom plugins thing, but it looks capable [08:38] These plugins are for ? [08:39] Not sure what is Nagios [08:40] Mralexxx: wat [08:40] Mralexxx: http://www.nagios.org/ [08:40] Ok anyways i am testing how much credit does irc costs [08:40] On phone [08:41] See ya later its pretty nice community [08:41] awesome [08:41] On manjaro irc i gotta wait hours to somebody come to help [08:42] Good luck guys [08:44] Lol iz uses 4din (serbian currency 120din = 1€) [08:46] hi guys [08:46] I wanted to know if I can learn advanced programming on c++ somewhere online [08:46] can you guys help me out?

How can I find the install location of it? I need to find where it put its main jar file. [08:51] hello, i would to ask about ssh, it's any alternatives to solve the host verification failed without removing it from our known hosts? [08:52] yusuf: man ssh_config (search for CheckHostIP No) [08:55] ok thanks somsip :) it's really helpful [08:55] np [08:56] Anyone able to help? [08:56] Aiden: dpkg -L vuze [08:56] Aiden: although using apt-get is the recommended way to install all software, it seems that the version of vuze is often older than the current package and the vuze people recommend you install manually. YMMV [08:57] somsip: Have you used vuze before? [08:58] Aiden: no [08:59] hello [08:59] hello everyone [08:59] is there an official guide for upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS suitable for production systems ? [09:00] leeyaa: what exactly are you after? Normally you'd backup and do-dist-upgrade. Dunno if I'd do an upgrade on production though - I built new servers from 12.04 to 14.04 [09:00] somsip: i was asked first to check out if upgrade works. i would normally rebuild from scratch, but i dont have a choice here [09:00] so dist-upgrade then [09:01] leeyaa: can you mirror the server to a test server and try it on that? Most are okay, but people do have problems... [09:01] somsip: yeah thats the plan [09:01] leeyaa: my bad - do-release-upgrade https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html [09:01] thanks somsip [09:01] np [09:02] i know from experience with centos upgrades almost always fail. we will see whats the case with ubuntu ;p === doebama is now known as william_doe [09:02] leeyaa: on my home server, I've upgraded okay from 10.10 to 12.04 with minor issues. But not the sort of minor issues I'd want to have on a production server [09:03] somsip: yeah and ill be upgrading xen dom0s and important router servers [09:03] leeyaa: backup, mirror, upgrade, migrate. Be safe and lucky :) [09:03] always a major pain :( [09:04] hi all, i would like to install ubuntu on my desktop currently running win8 - i dont want to install them side-by-side but i would like to try and generate a image of windows that i can perhaps run later in a virtual machine so, i am looking for any resources/info that can hlep me out [09:04] iptable, that's a good idea, but I couldn't really install anything. It's at least in part due to software, because I have now installed ubuntu again and am in the process of updating without a single issue. knock on MDF. [09:05] somsip: btw do-release-upgrade is unsafe under a ssh session i presume ? [09:05] leeyaa: yes. run in screen session if doing via ssh [09:05] leeyaa: I've heard of it working. Never tried it though. More research may be needed [09:05] leeyaa: and DO have an option to get to the KVM of that machine [09:06] iptable: yeah i have ipmi prepared [09:06] i might add that i have run across a similar situation previously and msft, in their attempts to limit piracy, invalidated my key - this was later resovled but i would like to try to avoid the situation if possible [09:06] philr: this may help. First search result so may need second-sourcing http://www.sysprobs.com/physical-virtual-virtualbox-virtualbox-p2v === Hobby_boy_m is now known as Hobby_boy [09:11] somsip: i found something similar and think that it or your suggestion will prob be end solution - im really wondering how to generate a fresh image and run it without having to deal with any nonsense over activation keys [09:11] figured i'd ask the channel since i havent quite found the issue in search [09:11] philr: that's a windows issue. Nothing to do with ubuntu [09:12] right but it is reasonable to think ubuntu support has come across the issue, anyhow, off to try your link, i appreciate it [09:12] Philr: try P2V [09:12] Citrix has some utils like this as does Microsoft === aryangoddess is now known as gully_foyle [09:14] thanks [09:14] Did I just FULLY disconnect from ubuntu? any1 seen a part/join message for me? === havingFun is now known as xrosnight [09:15] I get a "udev requires hotplug support, not started" [09:15] iptable: give it a minute or two... http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/11/27/%23ubuntu.txt [09:15] I am unsure what to make of it [09:16] somsip: cheers [09:16] I am trying to apt-get install wkhtmltopdf [09:16] do guys know how much space is usually needed in order to upgrade ? on some servers we run root volume with 95-98$ [09:16] 95-98%* [09:16] so i know how much to increase [09:16] leeyaa: very ugly, unless the drives are veerrrry big [09:17] somsip: drives are big. root volume is small, usually between 2g and 4g [09:17] leeyaa: I wouldn't like to guess how much you need, but >80% is usually the warning for me. But if you are going with a mirror, you could just suck it and see [09:17] somsip: xen dom0s write almost no logs and disk usage does not change at all [09:18] somsip: not even some rough estimate ? [09:18] where does apt store downloaded packages from updates ? [09:19] leeyaa: lol - I don't see how that helps. I've said I don't update production servers. [09:19] leeyaa: if it's 95/98%, don't upgrade [09:19] iptable: thats 98 of 2 or 4gb [09:19] leeyaa: also, production servers should be rolling-reinstalled as upgrade. NOT upgraded with that [09:20] hm, so where does apt store updates [09:20] iptable: i know, but i was forced to do it this way [09:20] any suggestions to me? [09:20] dom0 can write a great deal of logs if you don't handle them correctly. [09:20] leeyaa: apt doesn't store updates. new software gets downloaded into /var/cache/apt and installed onto the system (everywhere around) [09:20] leeyaa: do NOT upgrade. rolling-reinstall. and plan for better disk usage while doing so [09:21] disk usage is fine, its been like that for years [09:21] just never upgraded ubuntu before, not without rebuilding the whole thing [09:21] White_Cat: do you ahve udev started? [09:21] ah so its var cache apt [09:21] leeyaa: well, if you are running it 98% disk usage, then it is NOT fine as it is not planned for upgrades. [09:22] ^ [09:22] iptable: not my call... [09:23] iptable: so i take it 2.0G 1.1G 861M 56% wont be enough then [09:23] thats for a basic router [09:23] it has just iptables, tinc and pptpd [09:23] leeyaa: then tell the caller that ugprade is not safe-enough to do with this deployment. simple as that. it's not safe at al lfor that [09:24] iptable: i will in my next email, so i warn them [09:24] again [09:26] oh my god, my broadband is down for maintenance and i am stuck using 3g [09:26] does apt keep full log for upgrade ? [09:26] i have to admit i am so impressed these days how mobile broadband just works with no real effort [09:28] leeyaa: yes. also, it IS a bad idea to ugprade production servers unless you have them failed over to another box first. they may and could and probably will go down. [09:28] and have a back up [09:29] iptable: yes, i will be running the upgrade on a mirrored copy [09:29] and don't upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 weird stuff happens, i just had the init process run at 100% after and upgrade [09:29] BadApe: hah, you too? seems to be a plymouth issues [09:30] it is best to run up a new vm, do a fresh OS install, test the software on this new release and then switch your dns/load balancers or whatever way you direct traffic to your server [09:30] yup [09:30] cutting a long story short [09:30] best practice. [09:30] however if you don't care, like i don't most of the time, screw it and just go round making random changes [09:31] ^ [09:31] :) [09:32] iptable: i have a jira/confluence/stash server i thought it was something to do with postgresql, or java or err, i shut down all the services but sshd, and yet it still ran hot, i remove almost everything, even some of plymouth [09:32] eventually i stopped wasting my time, made a new vm and migrated to a new clean install [09:33] Hi all, I need help joining AD from trusty. Winbind is not starting on my machine, and I can't figure out why. Any suggestion? [09:34] what to do while my main broadband is out, i can't even install the modules to openwrt to tether my mobile to my router via usb until i can get an internet connection to the router [09:34] mregg: first thing to do would be to check the logs [09:35] one of my many skills isn't being able to remotely scan your drive and read the config files and log entries [09:35] BadApe is an ape, gentlemen [09:35] ....a bad one. [09:35] that would be self evident [09:35] how can I check the Wkhtmltopdf version in ubuntu server? [09:35] 大家好 [09:35] 大_大 [09:36] White_Cat: apt-cache policy [09:37] hmm [09:37] "You should upgrade your version of Wkhtmltopdf to at least 0.12.0 in order to get a correct display of headers and footers as well as support for table-breaking between pages." [09:37] well im upgrading one of the test servers. we will see if init goes crazy [09:37] I have 0.9.9-4 [09:38] I imagine 0.12 is more advanced [09:38] apt-get does not seem to have the most up to date library [09:38] White_Cat: you will have whatever version shipped with the distro [09:39] I apt-get with ubuntu-server [09:39] !info Wkhtmltopdf utopic [09:39] wkhtmltopdf (source: wkhtmltopdf): Command line utilities to convert html to pdf or image using WebKit.

[09:42] BadApe: Thanks. It was due to the fact that the domain had not been joined. [09:42] White_Cat: theres a deb package here, but keep in mind it isn't supported here http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html [09:43] mregg: glad you got it sorted [09:44] err [09:45] so what is the best practice for me to get to v 0.12 wkhtmltopdf? I am a tad bit confused [09:45] I am fairly new to ubuntu server [09:45] I dont want to blow it [09:45] White_Cat: I already gave you a solution [09:46] There are 3 solutions, upgrade, backport, and manual install [09:46] i would upgrade, backport can give you more issues. [09:46] upgrade as in apt-get upgrade I imagine ? [09:47] White_Cat: if this is a production server, you really don't want to use a non LTS release [09:47] the purpose of the production server is to run odoo 8 [09:48] White_Cat: in production? [09:48] not yet [09:48] but will be [09:48] I have a test server too [09:48] ok, really don't run a non LTS release, stick with 14.04 [09:48] I am not completely insane. :) [09:48] BadApe I must upgrade to 0.12 [09:48] I know it isnt the best practice [09:49] you could compile it yourself, [09:49] if odoo cant print invoices there might as well not be a server [09:49] White_Cat: i gave you a solution! [09:49] * Ben64 pokes White_Cat super hard in the shoulder [09:49] * White_Cat falls into peices [09:49] oh well done Ben64, i didn't see that [09:49] apparently nobody did [09:50] you mentioned http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html [09:50] * OerHeks did [09:50] White_Cat: Ben64 gave you a link to a .deb package, download it on to your server and run dpkg -i balh.deb [09:50] I saw it [09:50] and your problems are gone [09:50] ah! [09:50] kudos to Ben64 [09:51] if you really need to be told how to open a link, download a deb and install it, maybe you shouldn't be running a server at all [09:51] damn it is frustrating to be without broadband, i was supposed to be configuring my build node, [09:55] bonjour quelqun pour un tit conseil [09:55] !fr | shanti [09:55] shanti: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[10:02] rather than actually stopping the process [10:02] White_Cat: is what the correct one? trust? yes [10:02] White_Cat: lsb_release -a will tell you [10:03] BadApe, i just want to set my swap to bee 4gb in preseed - the rest of the partitioning should be automatic (max) [10:04] hojgaard: am i right in thinking you can only set a % of the drive to be swap? it has been a long time since i was doing what you are [10:04] BadApe, no i am sure you can set a specific size, the question is if i can set swap only - the rest automatic [10:05] hojgaard, depends were you define swap, f you do it as last, it can take more than your ram, set it before the data partition , see http://askubuntu.com/a/360156 [10:06] else i have no explanation why swap is so big [10:07] hojgaard: many years ago you could only set a % for swap, iirc, what i think you can do now is set +4g swap and 100% for / [10:07] I want to limit my X-Server's color output to 18bpp under ubuntu 14.04, how can I achive this?

[10:22] ok here is something i've not managed to figure out yet, a desktop install of ubuntu will send the host name and my openwrt will map the ipv6 address no problem [10:22] however ubuntu server using dhcp will only register the hostname for ipv4 not ipv6 [10:22] so something needs to be added to the ubuntu by default for it to send the hostname as part of it's ipv6 lease request [10:23] anyone know what extra config needs to be added? [10:24] hey guys. I got a quick question about application launchers [10:25] I've created custom .desktop files for a couple of websites. My problem is, that as soon as I include a path in the URL for `chromium-browser --app=https://...`, the assigned icon is not used in the launcher [10:25] when it's just a domain, it is used [10:25] any idea why that is? === kim_ is now known as augustN [10:26] example: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/336a49734cc5c9bc904c [10:27] or rather, to be correct, in the example with the path, the default chromium icon is used in the launcher instead of the assigned inbox icon [10:28] would i have issues just installing a ssd on an old laptop and running ubuntu on it? is there anything i need to do to make it handle the drive better?

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10, and now my Alt key doesn't work properly. I can see my old shortcuts (such as Alt+F2 for switch to desktop 2) in the settings, but pushing it doesn't do anything. [12:59] Trying to rebind the key shows it detecting as Alt+F2, though. xev suggests that my Alt key is indeed Alt_L. [12:59] Alt+tab also doesn't work. Ditto Alt+Enter, which I have set to "toggle maximisation state". [12:59] Interestingly, Alt+Space, which I have set to "Give unity program launcher search bar focus", *does* work. But that's the only one I've found. [13:00] In addition, if I have a terminal open and I press Alt+F2, I get a capital Q appear. [13:00] I am open to suggestions on how to troubleshoot or fix this.

I have a dual screen set up on my computer, but when I fullscreen videos in my web browser (Firefox and Chrome) they open in the wrong screen [13:04] how do I set the default screen? [13:05] That I do not know [13:05] I have the launcher placement om the 'wrong' screen, and I want it like that [13:05] I know a way, but it's prolly not the best. [13:05] can I have the launcher on the not primary screen? [13:05] some programs have a launcher parameter [13:05] oops [13:05] oerKeks: thanks, they are already installed. I guess I must uninstall, reinstall them, then.. [13:06] I ment: some programs have a screen parameter [13:06] can't' I just set the general default? [13:06] for all programs? [13:06] yes [13:07] You could disable all but the primary screen in the display configuration, then re-enable all the screens [13:07] the last enabled screen will be made the primary screen [13:07] It's prolly not the best way, but it works. [13:08] maybe I can use nvidia X-server [13:09] WOHO it worked, you can use nvidia X-server settings to change it [13:09] thanks for making me think about x-server settings [13:09] no problem .. xD [13:09] the method I suggested works for all Graphics cards though [13:10] probably [13:10] dosen't ATI have something similar? [13:10] like tha catalyst stuff for windows, but for linux [13:10] yep [13:11] fglrx i think [13:11] If you want to change the screen for a specific program, may GUIs accept --geometery or -geometry [13:11] *many [13:12] oh [13:12] I just started with this whole linux thing === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [13:12] =D [13:12] still lot's of things that are ..weird. like having to chmod 777+ my files that I want to run i virtual webserver. in Windows they just worked [13:13] but loving it [13:13] you shouldn't have to chmod 777 anything [13:13] chmod 777 means anybody can access it [13:13] Hiyas all [13:13] yeah I read that [13:13] I'd highly recccomend "man chmod" [13:13] but I don't care if China can hack into my webserver [13:13] it contains some loops and echoes, also a banana calculator [13:13] andreas_: you should care about proper permissions [13:13] learn what the numbers mean [13:14] Although really, for a single user computer, and a guy just starting is not that bad. [13:14] hey guys [13:14] hi [13:14] if I was in a business or feared hackers I would not use 777 [13:14] thats not the point at all [13:14] I just found it on a forum, but the guy in the forum went "this is not safe" [13:14] if you're going to do something, learn the proper way [13:15] I did the same thing the first few months I was using linux, just remember to come back to it soon. [13:15] It's VERY important. [13:16] primarily because of the blurred line between servers and single-user computers in linux. [13:16] http://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html this was slightly complex [13:16] and for basic security. if you get into the habit of chmod 777 whenever something doesn't work, you're going to have a lot of problems down the road [13:16] you could also yous chmod [a|u|g|o][+|-][r|w|x] [13:17] *use [13:17] like chmod a+x gives everyone execute permission [13:17] chmod g-w removes write permission from the file's group [13:18] same thing as removing 2 from the center digit [13:18] You will probably find yourself using a very small set of file permission numbers, so in the end the *** number format is easier. [13:18] yep [13:18] thats why a lot of files are 755 [13:19] nobody uses permissions like chmod 123 [13:19] doesn't give write permission to group and others [13:19] usually the first diget is largets, then second, then third [13:19] in google they don't' use the numbers (when I google chmod /var/www), they use user groups [13:19] and usually only the numbers 0,4,5,6,7 aare used [13:19] that's chown [13:19] theyre both used [13:19] oh, they do the same thing? [13:20] chown = change owner [13:20] the g in g+x is the group you are giving access to [13:20] but if I own the folder that's like 777 [13:20] right [13:20] no... [13:20] Each file has a group, and user, and a permission level for the the group / user / everyone [13:20] oh dear [13:20] he'll get it, it's confusing at first [13:21] each number in 777 is for a different person/group. first is the owner, second is group, third is everyone else [13:21] ah [13:21] the permission for the owner is the first digit, group is second, everyone else is third [13:21] and 7 is give everything [13:21] then I get it more [13:21] so 777 means owner gets 7, members in the files group get 7, everyone else gets 7 [13:21] 7 = 4 + 2 + 1 [13:21] so 755 = everything to me, read to ..the rest [13:21] 4 = read [13:22] 7 = 111 in binary. 4 2 1 are what the binary digits are. 4+2+1=7. 4 = read 2 = write 1 = execute [13:22] 2 = write, 1 = execute [13:22] read and execute to the rest [13:22] 5 = 4 + 1 [13:22] oh 5 = read + execute. 4 = read [13:22] yep [13:22] hello! [13:22] 1 is execute [13:23] so just add the combonation of 4.2,1 you need [13:23] hi [13:23] maybe I'll rent a linux book === ola is now known as Guest27093 [13:23] or buy :D [13:24] my uni-library probably has a couple of hundred linux books [13:24] I can find one I like [13:26] or I do have allot of money now, relatively speaking. this good? http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Line-Complete-Introduction/dp/1593273894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417094757&sr=8-1&keywords=Linux [13:27] !manual | andreas_ This might be useful, [13:27] andreas_ This might be useful,: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[13:34] like the blue is way too dark [13:35] linux the land of extremes... [13:35] hey guys [13:36] what's the best way to share your ubuntu / unity configuration across different computers? or accounts? [13:36] check ~/.config and ~/.share into a git repository? [13:36] netzhaut: puppet. [13:37] jpds, argh. rather not. :) [13:37] netzhaut: Why stop at user config when you can cover everything? [13:37] wow it's because vim expects a white background [13:39] jpds, I don't like puppet :) I'd use ansible, yeah. But it seems overkill for just keeping configurations in sync. E.g. if I change a compiz setting on a computer, or create a new .desktop file, I want it to be available next time I log into another computer without having to go through a dozen hoops [13:39] netzhaut: Every time I install a new computer and hook it up to puppet, I know it's going to be configured the exact same way the old one was. [13:39] Whenever I try to log on to my user account, after pressing login it just shows a black screen at gets me back to the login page. How do i fix this??( I am on ubuntu studio) [13:39] jpds, what do you do if you change a compiz config? [13:39] jpds, or set up a new keybinding? [13:40] netzhaut: I don't use those. [13:40] hello [13:40] jpds, what do you use then? [13:40] Hello [13:40] netzhaut: Repalce 'puppet' with your preferred config management. [13:41] jpds, config management is fine. I use that for servers. Not for ad-hoc updates to my workstation and DE though. [13:42] Was thinking of just keeping that all in Dropbox and symlink it to ~/.local and ~/.config [13:42] Not sure if I'd break something this way though [13:42] netzhaut: I like to automate my desktop stuff too.

I used a USB-drive. also if ubuntu is installed in EFI/UEFI and Windows in Legacy (or wise versa) one of them needs to re-install so that both is eitehr efi or legacy [13:57] uskerine: and put it in /etc/modules, if its not getting autoloaded properly [13:57] daftykins :clean install [13:57] FATAL: Module tun not found. [13:58] daftykins :I did update and upgrade cmds [13:58] anyways i get on ubuntu cuz it automaticly goes on ubuntu [13:58] cpugirl: with what, wired networking connected? [13:58] daftykins :now!wired lan [13:58] yeah, try the boot tool MrAlex, install it in Ubuntu. if ubuntu is installed in legacy and windows is installed in EFI you need to re-install [13:58] try the boot tool first, it will tell you [13:59] cpugirl: install the package "pastebinit" then share "lspci | pastebinit" [13:59] uskerine: Oh - I see its built-in. It should just work then [13:59] Please give me an idea to install konica minolta pagepro 1500w laser printer. CUPS does not list it. open printer will not hvae an PPD file. anyother alternate ways? [13:59] trippeh /dev/net/tun is not present [13:59] ubuntu is installed in EFI cuz i the legacy didn't work with mint, manjaro.. but i think windows is in legacy [13:59] daftykins :ok [14:00] trippeh, I was able to create it in a 12.04.4 using udevadm trigger, but that is not working for 12.04.5 [14:01] anyways i ahd pretty strange thing happend when trying install windows 7 (starts like red, blue, black screen and repeats that but then i swapped monitor with bro and it did install it normaly but now it works with my too i think linux fixed it xD) [14:01] uskerine: hrm. I'm not running a ubuntu kernel right now, so cant look. [14:01] daftykins :this package is installed [14:01] MrAlex ...did you run the boot tool now? [14:02] anyone in here use a logitech C920 and guvcview? [14:02] cpugirl: ok, follow the rest of what i said too. [14:02] daftykins :I didn't get 2nd part :( [14:03] cpugirl: it was all on the same line... [14:03] padhu sure it is 1500 ? not 1050? [14:03] then share "lspci | pastebinit" [14:03] 1500w [14:03] OerHeks: pagepro 1500w [14:04] daftykins :type terminal cmd .I didn't get that [14:04] OerHeks: http://bt.konicaminolta.in/laser-printers-2/pagepro-1500w-product-overview/ [14:04] cpugirl: ok, well read carefully.

[15:50] Also possible to share the folder with samba, the problem is i got problem to connect to the samba server with ubuntu, but from windows 7 computer its no problem. [15:50] Thats wierd, isnt it? [15:50] Both groups in WORKGROUP [15:50] both linux computers* [15:51] Prezident: alternatively mounting via sshfs would allow you to use gedit [15:51] ok [15:51] sshfs would need installing (apt-get install sshfs) - but this might _not_ be what you want [15:51] Best would be if i could join the samba server [15:52] I find the shared mount but cant join the network/dir from my ubuntu comp [15:52] You could mount that using cifs? [15:52] and then add an auto mount record in /etc/fstab [15:53] I've used cifs as a mount point when connecting to Samba servers before. [15:53] In haproxy, is there any benefit to using "reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ https if { ssl_fc }" vs "http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Proto https if { ssl_fc }"? What's the difference between "reqadd" and "http-request add-header"? [15:54] Prezident: if it's from time to time, even Filezilla -given you've got a SFTP access- can do the trick. Just tell it to open the file with gedit, locally. [15:54] So sshfs is working well to mount dirs also i see. [15:54] Thank you guys, will try this out. [15:55] Prezident: man sshfs for how to mount/unmount if you choose that [15:55] yea [15:56] found it! you rock.

[16:05] hello everyone [16:05] JavaJosh: no, that's not possible. i'm saying enter the BIOS and load the defaults [16:05] daftykins: i got it, just did [16:06] daftykins: now some memory error, print a call trace: "vomit here" [16:07] daftykins: downloading 32bit [16:07] !md5 | JavaJosh and make sure to run this on the download [16:07] JavaJosh and make sure to run this on the download: 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 [16:07] daftykins: i have been [16:08] ok, just checking.

[16:09] i'm left looking at the purple login background and the mouse pointer [16:10] JavaJosh: probably, load the defaults in the BIOS like i said. power off, then power on - do you have anything to take pictures of the BIOS screens or video the boot attempt?

Reinstalling unity did nothing to fix my problem [16:14] pressing keys does nothing [16:14] dots still going [16:14] sometimes its easier to just reformat and start fresh [16:14] this does not sound like a conventional boot whatsoever. [16:14] that screen, i know what you mean, with the keyboard logo at the bottom? [16:14] haven't seen it yet [16:14] or if i did, it was too fast for my eye [16:15] i'm wondering if doing this over and over, rebooting and rebooting, may have the memory garbled up? [16:15] you know how some times on a desktop swapping ram sticks saves the world? [16:15] nah i don't think rebooting has any negative effects [16:15] no it really really doesn't - and i've been dealing with hardware for years :P [16:15] oh, okay, good [16:15] and lol no. because powering off clears RAM contents [16:15] /home/ubuntu/Pictures/Screenshot from 2014-11-27 08:15:06.png [16:16] still at purple ubuntu screen with dots [16:16] err..

[16:51] win7, hp pavillion dv7 4190us, two seperate drives, sda and sdb, with windows on sda and ubuntu on sdb, but the BIOS only boots into sda [16:52] m1r0: hmm [16:52] it's msdos not efi? [16:52] m1r0: did you install windows or ubuntu first? [16:52] I think it's msdos but i'm not sure [16:52] Windows came on the computer [16:52] If grub went on sdb, then would that cause that? [16:53] m1r0: and where did you install the ubuntu bootloader? [16:53] Yeah, I think that grub is on sdb, but i've been trying for the past couple days unsucessfully to install bootloader on sda1 [16:53] I think it installed on sdb1 [16:53] m1r0: can you try booting with supergrubdisk if you have a spare usb? [16:53] m1r0: boot a live usb [16:53] I'm chatting y'all from a live usb right now [16:53] m1r0: don't install on sdb1 -- install on sdb (withouth the "1") [16:54] m1r0: ok sudo parted -l [16:54] Or install easybcd on windows, then add a linux entry [16:54] sorry I mispoke I think I installed on sdb [16:54] easybcd didn't work [16:54] Can you download a supergrubdisk iso and add that in easybcd? [16:54] m1r0: if grub is installed on sdb (not sdb1) you will need to change the boot order in your bios to boot sdb before sda [16:54] mcphail- bios only boots to sda [16:55] m1r0: mount the installation, chroot and reinstall grub on sda [16:55] parted output: http://pastebin.com/2XuJpGSQ [16:55] m1r0: taht would be an odd bios. If that is the case, install grub on sda (not sda1) [16:56] mcphail- it is an odd bios but searching the forums for my computer confirms it only boots to sda [16:56] mcphail: ok this seems ok [16:56] i mean m1r0 [16:56] :D [16:56] m1r0: sdb is gpt [16:56] it has what appears to be an efi partition ( fat32 ) [16:56] and there's no bios-boot partition for gpt to work with legacy [16:56] yet sda is msdos [16:56] so... O.o [16:57] okay how do i tell ubuntu to not use GPT and how do i install bootloader in sda while installing the OS on sdb [16:57] m1r0: are you using efi right now [16:57] type ls /sys/firmware [16:57] is there efi there? [16:59] efi is there but i thought i was hsing msdos [16:59] m1r0: type efibootmgr -v [16:59] I'm trying to install a plugin for QGIS, quantum geographic information systems, it's like CAD for maps.

[17:02] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/jrpKJnjn [17:02] m1r0: ok, well [17:02] seems odd [17:03] m1r0: can you check the bios and make sure legacy is selected [17:03] what do you mean legacy is selected? [17:03] wait [17:04] m1r0: did you make the fat32 directory in sdb? [17:04] i think the installer thought you have efi, ( which you seem to somehow given the dir is there ), and made an efi partition on sdb [17:05] everything in sdb was made by the ubuntu installer [17:05] if you had legacy it should have made a bios-boot partition for gpt to work [17:05] m1r0: i think you have some hybrid thing going on [17:05] no idea [17:05] lol what [17:05] anyways check what's in the bios, then install grub on sda [17:05] since it's msdos it doesn't need a bios-boot partition [17:05] so you should be good [17:05] if you ever need grub on sdb though you need a bios-boot for it to work with legacy [17:06] just to doublecheck how do I get bootloader on sda from the ubuntu installer [17:07] m1r0: no need to reinstall [17:07] m1r0: hold on [17:07] so how?

[17:44] m1r0: or leave it gpt, whatever [17:44] m1r0: yes, in the Something else menu select it at the bottom [17:44] okay so first let me go on my bios [17:44] EriC^^: what do you mean check what it's set to?

[19:03] I have rebooted my computer, reinstalled my sudo. What may be the issue ? [19:03] rishianand: so "the display hangs a lot" means driver install, not graphical issues? :) [19:03] Anyone have a skype account here?

[19:33] espen_: what errors do oyu get [19:33] when you try [19:33] isn't that the consequence of only being able to acces his home alone?

I tried to mount if via fstab but it didn't behave properly, so I'd just like to imitate the filemanager's mounting behaviour.

[19:40] Wryness: you can chmod the other home dir's and modify a file so that new users that are created have a 770 on their home dir on creation [19:40] I don't get such a prompt [19:41] OerHeks: gnome fallback [19:41] but same problem in unity [19:41] does that work for /media too? [19:41] i clicked 'enable wifi' and it has a checkmark in front of it, but wifi is still disabled [19:42] Wryness: /media is like that by default [19:42] Wryness: the user name's in it can't be accessed by other users [19:42] ok, will try what you said [19:42] thanks for your help :) [19:42] Can someone recommend me a video editor that actually works? And with working, I mean the sound [19:43] xi [19:43] Ok looks like the filemanager uses the "udisks" command which seems to take care of all filesystem peculiarities itself. So in my case running "udisks --mount /dev/sdc2" should do the job. [19:43] ciaoooo [19:43] or, alternatively, get mplayer to play sound [19:43] Wryness: change DIR_MODE in /etc/adduser.conf , no problem :) [19:45] EriC^^: ever noted a difference between using ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop^ for adding unity to a mini.iso install?

[19:52] atlas-hive, yeah man. it worked [19:53] dark_lord --- fuck yea! [19:53] :D [19:53] daftykins: never used the mini.iso :D [19:53] what's ubuntu-desktop^ ? [19:54] EriC^^: i think it's meant to pull in more deps, or something odd [19:54] dark_lord --- that happened to me a while ago when installing on a new computer and forgetting that i had the same hostname... took me a few hours to realize that my internet was phasing in and out. [19:54] daftykins: ah [19:54] atlas-hive, lol. I was mindfucked also :P [19:55] dark_lord --- glad i was some help [19:55] dark_lord: packages ending with caret ^ are tasksel tasks [19:55] dark_lord --- what else do you got?

[19:58] atlas-hive, yeah man. sure. :) === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [20:10] hey guys [20:10] ive searched google for a while now, i cant find how to autorun 2 chromium or firefox page à Lubuntu start on each screen [20:11] (dual monitor) [20:12] o_be_one: use the startup apps [20:13] EriC^^, sure but my two webpages will stard on the same Firefox on only one screen [20:13] i want that my 2 webpages auto open on each screen (one page by screen) [20:14] hello. tried 2 different usb mouses. both dont work. how can I bring them to work, without reboot.? [20:14] o_be_one: you can open apps on certain workspaces i think [20:15] o_be_one, Set chromium and firefox to autostart and the page you want is home, separate monitors not sure. [20:15] ok EriC^^ but i use lubuntu :p [20:15] o_be_one: yeah i think it has 2 by default [20:15] bubbasaures, yes ive thinked about that, with that i just need to set wich monitor to start [20:15] still though i think there's a better way [20:15] hold on, searching google [20:16] Hi, i don't know if i am at the good place but, did someone know how to increase the amount of memory available to JAVA runtime in UBUNTU (i use openjdk, but i'm not realy sure about if i realy use it) i am using "projectlibre" [20:17] hi friends anyone knows how to fix virtual box resolution [20:17] cyber37: a java channel might make more sense [20:17] haidora, You add the guest additions? [20:18] the term is "heap minimum size" * ubuntu [20:18] haidora, Put yourself in the vbox group and install dkms in the host if needed. [20:18] Hi, I have a problem [20:18] ElliottB1, what is it? [20:18] I just updated Ubuntu today [20:18] ElliottB1, and? === Snowstormer is now known as Paramore [20:19] MY ubuntu is really slow everything is slow [20:19] Watching a YouTube video crashes my computer [20:19] The screen freezes [20:19] hi [20:19] o_be_one: you can use compiz's window placement [20:19] which is better: adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-installer? [20:19] And sometimes, it even turns pitch black with nothing but the cursor visible [20:20] o_be_one: i think you can set a certain window title to start on an output, so if you start firefox with that title it should go there [20:20] ElliottB1, Give the channel your hard ware info. [20:20] EriC^^, yeah, seen this method, but i want a lightweight system i think compiz will not be a good idea for that [20:20] o_be_one: ah, right [20:20] Okay, hold on [20:20] o_be_one: devilspie then [20:20] devilspie Oo [20:20] * o_be_one google it [20:21] ElliottB1, Try to consolidate the posts or you can get lost. [20:21] ok why not but devilspie seems to be for gnome wm, i use LXDE :p [20:21] is this channel logs available on the web?

[20:22] HP Compaq [20:22] o_be_one: it works with lxde too [20:22] Is that enough info? [20:23] o_be_one: it's pretty potent [20:23] EriC^^, so it could be a solution, with the kiosk mode of chromium i think i can do it [20:25] can someone tell me why when I log into my DigitalOcean Ubuntu 14 droplet, it says that there are X packages that can be updated, but when I run sudo apt-get update and log back in the message is still there? [20:25] i've already asked in #digitalocean but nobody is responding :\ [20:25] yuung: have you tried "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? [20:26] yuung: apt-get update only updates the list of packages [20:26] ahhh [20:26] EriC^^, wich action you'll use ? geometry ? something like set_workspace ? [20:26] Since nobody is answering, I'm gonna leave [20:26] (i'm still a linux newb, obviously :p) [20:26] yuung, Or upgrade at all? === benonsoftware is now known as \b [20:26] yuung: "update" updates the package list (letting you know about new packages), upgrade/dist-upgrade both actually upgrade the packages (with different rules for each) [20:26] bubbasaures i have upgraded [20:27] i see === \b is now known as benonsoftware [20:27] well i have sudo apt-get upgrade'd [20:27] before [20:27] but not dist-upgrade. [20:27] yuung, I mean sudo apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade for held packages [20:28] bubbasaures, what do you mean by held packages? The only two commands I've tried are sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade [20:28] linux geek what do i do with this link [20:29] dist-upgrade worked! thanks guys. [20:29] thanks EriC^^, [20:29] and i got virt-manager to work on xorg/openbox. [20:29] cool [20:30] Jonlee: that is not an acceptable way to ask a question [20:30] yuung, some security and kernel packages are held for a dist-upgrade when using in the terminal [20:30] ok daftykins can you help me please [20:30] EriC^^, the gray console is how it is with xorg/openbox. if you right click on the console terminal and other options is available. there is no display manager which will give the traditional login screen. thanks again. [20:31] o_be_one: hmm [20:32] how can i install a "2nd policy" app? [20:32] like.. i try apt-cache policy docky, i have 2 results, can i install, using apt-get, the 2nd? [20:33] why does ubuntu restrict its rootfs to the root subvol in btrfs? [20:33] how to install the dkms additions for virtual box?? [20:33] bubbasaures, i see! thanks [20:33] JonJ: you referred to a link but didn't include it [20:33] !virtualbox | haidora [20:33] haidora: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:33] daftykins: say what now? [20:34] haidora, What OS is the host? [20:34] JonJ: sorry, tab complete fail [20:34] user quit [20:34] daftykins: no worries [20:35] i have ubuntu 14.04 and i have installed windows 7 SP1 on virtual box but the resulotion is so bad and i cannot see the whole screen [20:36] haidora, In ubuntu sudo apt-get install dkms Have you installed the guest additions in windows and logged out than in? [20:36] haidora: so windows is the guest? haha, oh my that wasn't very well explained. === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [20:37] I did whole disk encryption. I always end up with a separated boot partition that is encrypted. I really need to access and mount this partition but I have no idea what the key is. what is it? [20:38] I choose whole disk but it automatically makes a separate boot partition that ends up encrypted... [20:38] When I lock my screen after about 20 seconds the screen will turn off. However, if I move my cursor at all the screen will not turn back off no matter how much time passes. How can I have the screen turn off when it's locked after I have moved the mouse? [20:38] why the hell can't we change the refresh rate on the display manager ??? [20:39] mirak: possibly because this is 2014 and we don't use CRTs anymore? [20:39] vbgunz: are you _sure_ your /boot is encrypted? seems odd to me. my encrypted-lvm 14.04-based setup doesn't encrypt /boot. [20:40] my /boot should never end up encrypted but I always end up with an encrypted boot partition :/ [20:41] I just can't access it, my file manager acts as if the partition is encrypted and prompts me for a password, I can't simply mount it either [20:42] Hi guys. I have an issue using a Ubuntu host and kvms. I'm using eth0 as a bridge interface for my kvms to get an IP from the router, it works great. Nevertheless, even the port forwarding is well configured on the router, I can't ssh my host from an external location (outside my local network). but if I configure the port forwarding on a kvm (and not on the host, where I want my ssh server), I can ssh ! to resume, I can't ssh my host [20:46] my HDMI monitor show me 'cable not connected' even after i see it in xrandr and type 'xrandr --auto'. any ideas? [20:47] hi [20:47] xinit tells me "no screens found". its cli-only (headless) 14.04 server but i need ssh xforward to configure mythbackend [20:48] ideas? [20:48] guest217: yeah, search the mythtv wiki and find their channel [20:48] guest217: For a minimal xserver without hardware, install xvfb [20:49] I did it. I don't know why my file manager says it's encrypted and prompts for a password. trying to mount /dev/sdh1 and /dev/mapper/etc resulted in "mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'" ... turns out I had to mount /dev/sdh1 and use the -t option for mount with ext2 as auto does not automatically work [20:49] daftykins, read everything again and start again with smart answers [20:49] genii, thank you [20:49] guest217: no, i was content the first time :) [20:49] guest217 what's error u have if u start ssh -X ip [20:49] guest217: You might want to read the manpage for afterwards as well [20:51] Im trying to compile a driver for a DVB card called dvbsky. But I'm getting this compile error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9274090/ [20:52] I think its something I need to do in /usr/src/linux or something [20:59] hi guys, are there any epub readers for the command line? [21:00] how can i get newer kernel with new hardware support on 14.04 [21:00] azizLIGHT: what's the actual problem ? [21:01] i wanna get a ps3 or ps4 controller and make it work out the box [21:01] azizLIGHT: why do you think your kernel doens't support that ? [21:01] i did a google search and it said kernel 3.16 adds support for ps3/ps4 controller [21:02] and im on 3.13 [21:02] that seems a little odd as I've used a PS3 controller on a much earlier version [21:02] hello [21:03] oh it says "much improved support" [21:03] azizLIGHT: the PS3 controller is much earlier than 3.16, force feedback comes in at 3.14 [21:03] I have a bash script and I want to SED a variable, it is YEAR=$(date...) and the sed value is from 2014 to $YEAR [21:03] how can I do this ? [21:03] streulma: can u explain a bit differently [21:03] streulma: I don't understand [21:04] I mean: sed -i 's/2014/$YEAR/g' file.sh [21:04] yeah, please explain again [21:04] but it doesn't come correct [21:04] streulma: errr yes [21:04] he doesn't know the variable [21:04] $ needs to be escape [21:05] azizLIGHT: looks like PS4 controller should also work in 3.13, although the tools used to configure it (eg: xboxdrv) may need to be updated, depending on what you expect [21:05] $ means end of line afaik [21:05] ikonia: ok thats good to know. thanks for checking [21:06] doesnt look like i need kenel update then [21:06] but if i did, how do people do it [21:06] just so i know [21:06] azizLIGHT: it depends on what they want [21:06] azizLIGHT: bottom line don't change the kernel unless it is the only way to do something [21:07] streulma: as it stands right now ure telling sed to take every instance of 2014 and add YEAR to the endof the line, for every instance [21:07] ikonia: gotcha === kirk is now known as Guest19002 [21:08] also i wouldnt use -i unless u got a backup [21:08] try sed 's/2014/\$YEAR/g' file.sh > newfile.sh [21:09] hi [21:09] streulma: ^^ [21:09] anyone normal?

[22:30] velhop4: Try and see if you are getting out of house; What results from terminal command -> ping -c3 8.8.8.8 < - ? [22:31] atlas-hive, i left the computer alone. Router is working fine, I have wireless in my tablet and cable in this old machine were I'm writing to you Bashing-om [22:32] velhop4 --- so you left the computer in working state and now it no longer connects to internet or connects but no ping??? [22:32] Bashing-om, the output of that command is "connect: Network is unreachable" [22:33] atlas-hive, yes, I left the computer working fine and it doesn't connect [22:34] Should I try the command again, with cable? [22:34] velhop4 --- are you wired/wireless? [22:34] atlas-hive, currently wireless. tryed cable, but no connection [22:36] velhop4 --- so im assuming that all other computers can connect wired/wireless. can you connect to router and see if your ubuntu ip is blocked??? or maybe hostname on another computer is the same. [22:36] let me see if I can explain my problem. I have two displays, when I move my mouse from one display to the other the cursos stops at the end of the current screen, and I have to move my mouse over the entire mousepad to get it over to the other screen, is there a way to make it go smoother? [22:37] velhop4: Wireless issues are not something I am familiar with. No regret :) in that. Just never have had to cross that bridge. I take a back seat and lurck , see what is advised. [22:37] velhop4 --- what kind of router do you run??? [22:38] goosfraba: I think you need to disable the "sticky edges" option in settings for display [22:38] genii: thank you very much, worked!

[22:43] velhop4 --- so, linksys or dlink router for starts. you can find what ip your router is, connect and see if all computer ip are registered to the router. [22:45] velhop4 --- you should run a ddwrt on your router. they are much more customizable and easy to debug and troubleshoot. [22:48] hello [22:49] atlas-hive, I was checking info on the router, but I have none. Let me explain: I have Internet from a company called MEO. The router isn't mine, it's theirs.

[22:51] gabygaby: http://chrome.google.com [22:52] whats the off topic channel [22:52] velhop4 --- someitimes in terminal or cmd, if you ifconfig or ipconfig, you can get the router home ip that you can use to connect to.

[23:31] nothing appears in dmesg when it happens... [23:31] they are only detected as "disconnected" when I physically unplug them. yet, they are unresponsive [23:31] can I ask about installing ubuntu on android, here ?

Question 1. Is there a way to do that or would I have to wipe the whole drive and re-format? Cause I'm not seeing anything that tells me I can do this. #2 I have erased the partition after not being able to use as one drive with no partition I re-partitioned it, it told me that the partition [23:59] was misalinged by 3584 bytes what should I do to fix this. Thanks. [23:59] Sry, wrong link - http://imgur.com/6v2qMSR - circumference is 20 FYI
