| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| daftykins | yip, more relevant though | 00:34 |
| daftykins | you may also want to look for web server channels | 00:34 |
| daftykins | though i'm not 100% on what "IIS files" means | 00:34 |
| daftykins | nor why you would try and do something with them on Linux | 00:34 |
| Jeeves_Moss | it's just annoying. I'd like to clean up ~500Mb of crap per site. it starts to grow horns/teeth when there are a large number of sites | 00:34 |

| daftykins | sojirgfmj: why do you need it in ISO form again? | 01:17 |
| daftykins | VM_iso_: because when you understand the task, sometimes you can offer a better solution. | 01:18 |

| benzhninja | Hi | 01:40 |
| Wig | anyone familiar with lightdm? | 01:42 |
| daftykins | Wig: just ask the main question | 01:43 |
| Wig | daftykins: I've encountered behavior that I am 99% sure is a bug | 01:43 |
| Wig | let me post my screenshot somewhere | 01:44 |
| === Wig is now known as Wug | ||
| Wug | here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/dyEin6b.jpg | 01:46 |
| Wug | its not particularly obvious by looking, but the issue is that lightdm will get stuck that way sometimes after locking the screen | 01:46 |
| Wug | I can't login, I can't do a clean shutdown or anything from the login screen (or get it to interact in any way) | 01:47 |
| Wug | somewhere behind it is my desktop environment with programs running and I'd really like to get back to them, but I can't because the only way to make it responsive again is to kill the session | 01:48 |
| Wug | and restart lightdm | 01:48 |
| k1l | Wug: even no tty? (with ctrl+alt+f1 get back with ctrl+alt+f7) | 01:48 |
| Wug | I can get to a tty, but I can't fix lightdm without killing everything | 01:48 |
| k1l | you could loginto your user there and see if dmesg shows some errors or the .xsession-errors | 01:49 |
| imnotsurewhat | hey i have an issue with ubuntu 14.04 server that is driving me crazy | 01:49 |
| imnotsurewhat | i would love some help with it if anyone is available | 01:49 |
| daftykins | !details | imnotsurewhat | 01:49 |
| ubottu | imnotsurewhat: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 01:49 |
| k1l | Wug: is it this bug? | 01:50 |
| k1l | Wug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1301125 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1301125 in unity (Ubuntu) "Lock screen after idle time freezes unity" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 01:50 |
| Wug | it's similar, but it doesn't happen just after idling out, a ctrl+alt+L triggered lock triggers it randomly well | 01:50 |
| Wug | as well* | 01:50 |
| imnotsurewhat | I am trying to setup a crontab at boot that will start a python script that is an irc boot, in fedora 17 a simple crontab worked great, i modified it for ubuntu and tested the command in the terminal before i made it a crontab and it worked great there but when i put it into crontab it doesnt work | 01:51 |
| imnotsurewhat | the crontab is: @reboot /usr/bin/screen -dm /usr/bin/python2.7 /home/TrollOP/willie/willie.py | 01:51 |
| k1l | Wug: which video driver? | 01:51 |
| imnotsurewhat | its ubuntu 14.04 server x64bit LTS | 01:51 |
| Wug | there does not seem to be anything useful in dmesg, and .xsession-errors has something in it but it doesn't look particularly useful | 01:51 |
| Wug | there are no timestamps for instance | 01:51 |
| Wug | nvidia | 01:52 |
| imnotsurewhat | any ideas why its failing in crontab? | 01:52 |
| imnotsurewhat | i added it via crontab -e | 01:52 |
| imnotsurewhat | i used the comamnd whereis python2.7 to find the install location | 01:52 |
| imnotsurewhat | its the default python that comes with the install | 01:53 |
| k1l | Wug: i dont have that bug and dont know what will help there. best is to contribute to the bug or make a new bug and provide logs to help the devs hunt it and solve that | 01:53 |
| Wug | just looking at it, it smells like a race condition | 01:53 |
| Wug | it's as though I typed a wrong password and it's churning over it waiting to prompt me again | 01:54 |
| Wug | except I never entered anything, and it will never prompt | 01:54 |
| Wug | it's probably deadlocked on something, and I doubt it will log anything useful | 01:54 |
| k1l | Wug: lightdm (or the logscreen thingy) had some security issues and they got fixed but maybe they triggered other bugs now | 01:55 |
| Wug | oh well | 01:55 |
| Wug | this has been an issue for some time | 01:55 |
| k1l | Wug: best is to talk to the devs inside the bugtracker. that will actually lead to a fix | 01:55 |
| imnotsurewhat | anyone have any idea about my issue? | 01:56 |

| entenienne | if I install ubuntu and don't want it to put its version of grub as the new boot menu (but instead want to keep my old one that another linux dist already have), would I set "Device for boot loader installation" on /dev/sda7 (if sda7 is the partition I am installing ubuntu on) ? | 02:51 |

| entenienne | we6jbo: yes lets hear your question? | 02:52 |
| we6jbo | I have two folders. One of them is empty and the other one contains my files. I want to have the contents in the folder with stuff constantly copied over to the folder without the stuff. Is there a way to do that? | 02:52 |
| ineedhelpwithcro | k1l: a resonse would be lovley, i was hear earlier with not even a i dont know resonse | 02:52 |

| k1l | ineedhelpwithcro: if no one knows the answer in here see ubuntuforums or askubuntu | 02:55 |
| somsip | we6jbo: use a combination of cron and rsync is probably your easiest approach | 02:55 |
| we6jbo | Yeah but I don't know how to do that | 02:56 |
| entenienne | webbyz: I don't know much about that but I guess rsync is a tool for keeping two folders in sync... perhaps in cron ebery two hours hehe :-D | 02:56 |
| daftykins | we6jbo: that's where research and study come in | 02:56 |
| entenienne | *every | 02:56 |
| somsip | we6jbo: starter for you - http://abdussamad.com/archives/353-Using-rsync-to-efficiently-backup-files.html | 02:57 |
| we6jbo | Thats too dificult | 02:57 |
| entenienne | about not replacing my current systems grub menu, I'm not totally off when telling it to put its new grub on the partitions bootsector (where it won't be used but can't do any damage) instead of the harddisks mbr ? | 02:58 |
| we6jbo | Besides this is all on the same computer. Why do I need to remote? | 02:59 |
| webbyz | entenienne: ? | 02:59 |
| somsip | we6jbo: if you can figure out that involves remote, you can figure out how to copy local to local | 02:59 |
| entenienne | webbyz: as I understand it rsync can be used locally also, instead of over network | 02:59 |
| entenienne | we6jbo: I mean | 03:00 |
| entenienne | webbyz: maybe I didn't ask in a good way, but when I install a new linux dist, will it not puts its new shiny version of grub on the system? so mbr will load the grub menu from the new installed linuxdist's partition? | 03:01 |
| webbyz | ? | 03:01 |
| maybemaybe | hey does anyone know of any good tutorials for firewall and vpn and ssl | 03:01 |
| entenienne | webbyz: sorry, I was tabcompleting your name when I was trying to write we6jbo. sorry for that :-D | 03:01 |
| maybemaybe | i dont really wanna learn i just want the most secure | 03:01 |
| webbyz | ;-) | 03:02 |
| entenienne | maybemaybe: the more you learn the more you know how unsecure things are ;-) | 03:03 |
| Bashing-om | entenienne: Partly true. stage 1 of grub is installed to the MBR (sector 0) of the hard drive, stage 2 gets installed to /boot/grub and other files are also in play. | 03:03 |
| entenienne | ok | 03:05 |
| entenienne | suddenly starts to think of a old song by sting... ♫♪♯♬♩ "Every breath you take, every move you make, every step you take, we'll be watching you. Every single day, every word you say, every game you play - we're the nsa..." or wait... I might rememebr the song wrong in the end there... | 03:07 |
| entenienne | but they probably have a backup of your stuff maybemaybe ;-) | 03:07 |
| entenienne | no wait, it was we6jb that wanted backups | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | entenienne: While ot is possible ( difficult. somewhat ) to install the boot code to the partition, that practice is discouraged. Can lead to problems IF one is not aware of where the code is installed. ( partition headers are 'block' devices and re-writing to the block device can have its draw backs) | 03:08 |
| entenienne | Bashing-om: so if I want to make sure ubuntu don't install its stage 1 of grub is installed to the MBR, I can set it to put at /dev/sda7 (where I install ubuntu) so it doesn't do any harm (not really used)? | 03:09 |
| entenienne | and then manually edit in the line for ubuntu in my existing grub menu, by copying the relevant lines from the grub.cfg that the new ubuntu made on its own partition' | 03:10 |
| we6jbo | Ok I worked on it for 5min and I got nowhere with the rsync thing | 03:11 |
| daftykins | wow, 5 whole minutes | 03:11 |
| Bashing-om | entenienne: Short answer, yes it can be done. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Install_to_partition_or_partitionless_disk . Do this at your own risk . | 03:12 |
| we6jbo | Well how ever many minutes that passed. That's how long I've been working on it | 03:12 |
| entenienne | we6jbo: yeah I haven't dared to touch rsync yet. :-) but I will probably try it some day, when I collect some more guts. | 03:12 |
| Bashing-om | entenienne: Nope, not going to work that way ( editing grub.cfg0 .. what is going to happen is grub in sda7 will be chainloaded . | 03:13 |
| entenienne | Bashing-om: oh.... | 03:14 |
| ST-AV | I'm having a lot of trouble getting my new GT 730 graphics card working with either nouveau or the proprietary drivers.Can anyone help? | 03:14 |
| somsip | we6jbo: so what have you tried? | 03:14 |
| we6jbo | I have two folders. One has a bunch of stuff in it that I continue to work on and another is empty. I'd like to run a script or something that will copy everything from the folder with the stuff to the empty folder and continue to update that folder | 03:16 |
| somsip | we6jbo: i remember that from when you said it before. What have you tried? | 03:16 |
| we6jbo | Well I tried rsync but it's way too complex | 03:17 |
| Snwspeckle | Hey all this isn't directly related to linux but I need some input to help me figure out what the hell is going on lol. I have a SIP server (Kamailio) that I am using to proxy devices for peer 2 peer VoIP.

| somsip | we6jbo: tried how? What commands have you run? | 03:17 |
| we6jbo | rsync | 03:17 |
| somsip | we6jbo: with what parameters? | 03:17 |
| we6jbo | Just that | 03:18 |
| entenienne | the thing is I have this wonderfully handcrafted /boot/grub/grub.cfg (despite that it says "do not edit this file" at the top hehehe) that I want to keep using on. And thought of manually put in a new menuentry for ubuntu I'm gonna install there. | 03:18 |
| we6jbo | Its all on one computer anyway. I'm not remoting into another machine | 03:18 |
| somsip | we6jbo: you are expecting rsync to know which folders to copy without you specifying them? | 03:18 |
| we6jbo | Well I don't know what to type | 03:18 |
| wookienz | hi, jut upgraded from 12 somethign to 14 LTS. My nfs mounts seem to have stopped working. there are in fstab, but dont mount. Something change in 14 for mounting nfs? | 03:19 |

| somsip | we6jbo: I'm trying to help, but I suspect you are playing the fool for effect. End of thread for me | 03:19 |
| we6jbo | So is there a script or program that will do that for me? | 03:20 |

| lyle | I'm trying to install bluegriffon. I have tried get PPa's and file not found (istall from terminal). I downloaded the "trusty Tahr. Now what I have gleaned is I need to make a file executable. Can you guys just point me in the right direction. Am I in over my head? | 03:29 |
| lyle | should I read a book on terminal commands? Seems boring | 03:30 |
| somsip | lyle: are you following a guide>? If so, which one | 03:30 |
| wayfarer | right click on the file and change the property to executable file | 03:31 |
| lyle | I have most of the book "Ubuntu Make easy" it kinda stops at downloading tahr packages unless they have a executable command. | 03:31 |
| somsip | lyle: what guide on installing bluegriffon are you following? | 03:32 |
| entenienne | ok | 03:32 |
| lyle | which file do I make executable? Dumb question.... I was just googling how to install it. It said to download from the website , unzip, the make a file executable. It assumes I know which one to make exicutable | 03:33 |

| somsip | ezzou: depends on your mail client settings, and how your provider (yahoo) works | 03:34 |

| ArchZombie | also, how to switch user? | 04:20 |
| daftykins | Seven_Six_Two: not even sure if GRUB is happy booting GPT disks from legacy, one way to find out i guess | 04:22 |
| Bashing-om | Seven_Six_Two: GPT partitioning requires a BIOS-Boot partition . | 04:22 |
| Bashing-om | Seven_Six_Two: Description: the BIOS-boot partition contains GRUB 2's core. It is necessary if you install Ubuntu on a GPT disk, and if the firmware (BIOS) is set up in Legacy (not EFI) mode. It must be located at the start of a GPT disk, and have a "bios_grub" flag. | 04:22 |

| farseen | i believe that most part of an ISO stays same between ubuntu updates. So isn't it possible to use a diff tool like the original diff that comes with every distro or the jdiff(jojodiff) to provide the users with older iso files to download the diff and apply it to the older iso to get the new iso rather than forcing them to download the huge iso which is around 900mb. not everyone have unlimited broadband | 04:48 |
| daftykins | farseen: i think a lot has changed. | 04:49 |
| daftykins | if you think it's worth a go though, try it | 04:49 |
| farseen | but not the whole 900mb | 04:49 |
| farseen | but i have a slow internet connection 40kbps | 04:50 |
| daftykins | i doubt it's worth the effort | 04:50 |
| farseen | it would be a great help if some one did that for me | 04:50 |
| daftykins | i've gotta sleep now, be happy to give it a go another time if you prepared commands. | 04:51 |
| farseen | i had diffed the android ide for windows and linux which resulted in a ~140kb file | 04:51 |
| k1l | farseen: you have more luck to get to some internet connection and load that 900mb file once. | 04:51 |
| farseen | k1l, not here in India. broadbands are very costly. the 40kbps costs me ~ $5 | 04:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I set up my partitions with a 1mb partition (unformatted) at the beginning of drive for bios_grub, but I'm not sure what to do during the installer. do I set /boot to the 1mb parition? Do I just install bootloader to sda1 instead of sda? | 04:57 |
| farseen | you dont have to worry about the 1mb partition | 04:58 |
| wamarcum | Hey guys. Thinking about switching over to Ubuntu 14 from Arch. | 04:59 |
| wamarcum | Pros/cons? | 04:59 |
| farseen | install bootloader to sda not sda1 or any sdaN | 04:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | farseen: I can install without the partition, or I don't have to do anything with it aside from creating it? | 05:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | farseen: it's a 3tb drive, no other OS. | 05:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | farseen: 2009 computer, so it's bios only. | 05:00 |
| farseen | i am not sure what bios_grub is. but usually the ubuntu installer leaves 1 or 2 mb before the first partiton unused inorder to improve performance. you can google partition alignment if you want to know more. but an average user need not worry about it | 05:02 |

| Ben64 | Noreen: yes, you're in a strange town in turkey. but the fact remains. broadcom doesn't work well even when it does work, you'd save so much time by getting a different wireless and/or an ethernet cable | 09:34 |

| Noreen | yesterday people were saying it was impossible to even get as far as i've gotten | 09:41 |
| _ryt | what happened about your wifi? | 09:41 |
| Noreen | lucid was really old so i did a clean install of trusty | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, I have the exact same chipset as you. dpkg -k dkms bcmwl-kernel-source brings up wifi in less than a minute on 14.04.1 and I've used this method for the past 3 years. no dependency messages at all ... | 09:42 |
| cfhowlett | dpkg -i | 09:42 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, matter of fact on a dell 1545 | 09:42 |
| Noreen | well clearly it isn't the same, cfhowlett, because when i do that it just tells me i need dependencies | 09:42 |
| Noreen | it says i need gcc | 09:42 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: download gcc as a .deb | 09:42 |
| Noreen | i have lubuntu, you have ubuntu, it might be that | 09:42 |
| Noreen | gcc requires more dependencies | 09:43 |
| Noreen | which i tried to get | 09:43 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, get xubuntu then | 09:43 |
| Noreen | but they required more dependencies | 09:43 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: it requires only 2 c++ and gcc or something | 09:43 |
| Ben64 | i dont think any of the ubuntus come with build-essential | 09:43 |
| Noreen | i tried to install build-essential but it said i needed dependencies.. | 09:43 |
| Ben64 | then get them? | 09:44 |
| Noreen | i got them | 09:44 |
| Noreen | but i couldn't install them because they required dependencies | 09:44 |
| Ben64 | then get them? | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64, might be a difference btw distros. I've got it on 14.04.1 xubuntu | 09:44 |
| Noreen | i was doing that, it was taking hours | 09:44 |
| Noreen | dependency after dependency after dependency | 09:44 |
| Ben64 | there really shouldn't be that much to that though | 09:44 |
| Noreen | each thing required at least 3 and each of those 3 required at least one, maybe more | 09:44 |
| EriC^^ | isn't there a metapackage or something? | 09:45 |
| Noreen | maybe! | 09:45 |
| Noreen | couldn't find it | 09:45 |

| Noreen | i have most of the cflowlett confersation in the first reply here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254994 | 09:45 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64, /pool/main/d/dkms/dkms /pool/restricted/b/bcwl/bcmwl-kernel-source | 09:46 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, your local ubuntu team certainly has a solution for you. suggest you contact them. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TurkishTeam | 09:46 |
| Noreen | they could tell me where to order a cable from.. | 09:47 |
| Noreen | the ethernet cable will definately connect to the wireless router? | 09:48 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: you could this pretty easily | 09:49 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: apt-cache show gcc | grep Depends | 09:49 |
| EriC^^ | then you get 2 things, | 09:50 |
| EriC^^ | then apt-cache show gcc-4.8 | grep Depends | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, you did not do as I suggested. the command to install is dpkg -i those files .. NOT apt-get install | 09:50 |
| EriC^^ | you get another list | 09:50 |

| Noreen | can i describe it to you? two computers, an exclamation point, when you hover it says what i wrote in the thread, limited or no connectivity, and when you click on it you get a list of wireless in the area | 09:53 |
| Noreen | when i click on mine ad put in the password nothing happens | 09:53 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, then you have a live wifi. now you need to figure out the connection | 09:53 |
| Noreen | yes | 09:53 |
| AlexPortable | Anyone can help me enabling wifi? sudo nmcli nm wifi on doesn't works | 09:54 |
| Noreen | alexportable my computer has a button on the keyboard for disabling wifi, before i changed the bios settings i used to hit it accidentally and turn it off. anything like that? | 09:55 |
| _ryt | what happened about your wifi? | 09:55 |
| AlexPortable | Noreen: pressing the button doesn't does anything | 09:57 |
| AlexPortable | _ryt: nmcli nm wifi says: wifi disabled | 09:57 |
| AlexPortable | _ryt: nmcli nm wifi on works, but it still says wifi disabled when i do nmcli nm wifi | 09:57 |

| eguneys | I installed a new hd, mounted to /home/user/new1, and moved some folders there to free up the old drive, but the old drive don't free why? | 09:57 |
| quem | anyone got experience with installing a printer in ubuntu server? | 09:58 |
| AlexPortable | quem: yes | 09:59 |
| _ryt | the hardware may be out of the question | 09:59 |
| _ryt | check it! | 09:59 |
| AlexPortable | _ryt: wifi works fine on windows 8. also it used to work fine on ubuntu. | 10:00 |
| AlexPortable | but due to some software setting (maybe an update) it stopped working | 10:00 |
| eguneys | please look at this command and tell me what's wrong http://pastebin.com/VQLhWTE4 | 10:00 |
| cfhowlett | AlexPortable, try booting an older ubuntu kernel | 10:00 |
| AlexPortable | cfhowlett: doubt that will work | 10:01 |
| quem | AlexPortable: where do you suggest i start? | 10:01 |
| quem | heh | 10:01 |
| grosjean | eguneys: what's wrong ? | 10:02 |
| AlexPortable | quem: finding out if the manufacturer provides drivers | 10:02 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: nothing is wrong | 10:02 |
| eguneys | /dev/sdb1 is a new hdd mounted to new1 folder, but new1 folder also takes up space in the old hdd | 10:02 |
| Noreen | Eric^^ apt-cache show gcc | grep Depends does nothing. and also, it would have to show what dependencies the dependencies had, because i had a lot of gcc dependencies that wouldn't install because i needed more dependencies for them, and i had to do it one by one because the deb installer only tells you one dependency at a time? | 10:02 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: it should work, unless i guess the cache is empty | 10:03 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, why are you still discussing installing the drivers? drivers are installed, already. | 10:03 |
| EriC^^ | Noreen: does apt-cache show gcc work? | 10:03 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: the uppermost item is the old hdd, and it's quite full, how do I make sure the mounted drive doesn't take space in old hdd | 10:03 |
| AlexPortable | don't mount it under /home/user/ ? | 10:04 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: what do you mean, what should i do | 10:04 |
| AlexPortable | not mount it under /home/user | 10:04 |
| Noreen | eric^^ "can't select from gcc as it is purley virtual" cfhowlett oh okay, it doesn't matter. is there anything more i can do at this point, if i have the drivers and i can see the wireless connections but i have no conectivity? | 10:05 |
| grosjean | modify your fstab | 10:05 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mynewdrive | 10:05 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest18925 | ||

| AlexPortable | quem: huh, there are no GUIs for drivers as far as i know | 10:06 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: I want the new folder to be under my home/user directory now what? | 10:06 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, contact your Turkey ubuntu group. they're local and would be happy to help troubleshoot this. could well be a country specific issue --- I've run into this here in China. | 10:07 |
| Noreen | i have seen other people on the ubuntu forums with the same problem, but it was never solved | 10:07 |
| Noreen | so i don't think it's to do with turkish internet | 10:07 |
| _ryt | ls | 10:07 |
| Noreen | and the person with the problem had ethernet cable and still couldn't solve it | 10:08 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: why do you want that? | 10:08 |
| _ryt | ls | 10:09 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: see the old hdd is mount to / anyway, so /media/newdrive is still under the old hdd (not different than /home/user/new) | 10:09 |
| AlexPortable | no /media/ is for media | 10:09 |
| AlexPortable | it's a special directory | 10:09 |
| eguneys | oh ok now it says /media/newdrive doesn't exist | 10:10 |

| Noreen | thanks | 10:13 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, sorry we couldn't get you sorted. | 10:13 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: omg i messed up, when I did `mv /home/ubuntu/new1 /media/newharddrive`, it copies new1 into itself, because they now point to same directory i guess, AlexPortable: What have you done, give me a proper solution | 10:13 |
| Noreen | it's ok, something will work out | 10:13 |
| ugliefrog | how do i change the windows buttons to a different theme. I have the ubuntu tweak and unity tweak tools, however the window buttons dont change | 10:14 |
| eguneys | AlexPortable: ok now I lost all my files thanks <3 | 10:16 |
| Noreen | would there be anything i could do if i had an ethernet cable? (here is the backstory: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2255082&p=13178758#post13178758) i want to know if there is any point in ordering one | 10:16 |
| Lachezar | Hello people. I'm getting lots of Hash Mismatch errors for the Bulgarian mirrors (for a month or so). Anyone else (or located elseware) seeing similar issues? | 10:17 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, change your mirror? | 10:17 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: Tried. It's not a single mirror that is broken. Seems more than one mirror in the pool is affected. | 10:17 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, when I see these errors, I change mirrors. typically the issue self-corrects given time. | 10:17 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, try setting to main ubuntu mirrors | 10:18 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: That works, but is (obviously) undesired. I do it as a last-resort (actually I put a 'fixer' in /etc/hosts) | 10:18 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, "fixer"??? would you mind sharing that on fpaste.org please? | 10:19 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, limited connection could be a dns issue, i.e. not at all hardware related. again: you HAVE wifi, you just can't complete the connection. ethernet cable won't change that. | 10:20 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: I just '91.189.92.201bg.archive.ubuntu.com' | 10:20 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, clever. thanks | 10:21 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: I just '91.189.92.201 bg.archive.ubuntu.com' (sorry 'bout the broken paste). The IP is any of the archive.ubuntu.com addresses | 10:21 |
| Noreen | cfhowlett i am connected to that internet connection right now on this computer, doesn't that mean the DNS is okay and the problem has to be with lubuntu? | 10:22 |
| Lachezar | Noreen: DNS problems are commonly obscured by caches. | 10:22 |
| Noreen | is there a way to fix that? | 10:23 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, the fact that you HAVE active wifi but still can't connect points away from hardware | 10:24 |
| Ben64 | Noreen: see if you can ping the router, 4.2.2.2, 8.8.8.8, other stuff | 10:24 |
| Noreen | i can't because i can't connect at all | 10:24 |
| Noreen | at no point does it say i am connected, ben64 | 10:24 |
| Ben64 | limited connection = connected | 10:24 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, ping your router. | 10:24 |
| Noreen | really? but it says limited connection even at times when it says "no networks found" | 10:25 |
| Noreen | it said it was unreachable | 10:25 |
| Lachezar | Noreen: diagnose: 'ping 8.8.8.8' (must be OK), 'host www.ubuntu.com' (must give address), 'host nonexistent.whatever.uz' (must say 3(NXDOMAIN)) | 10:25 |
| Noreen | it says "llimited or no connectivity" < i think it is more on the side of no connectivity than limited | 10:26 |
| Noreen | no matter what i ping it says network is unreachable | 10:26 |
| Ben64 | Noreen: what is the ip address shown when you do "ifconfig | grep inet" | 10:26 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, your ROUTER is unreachable??? | 10:26 |
| Lachezar | Noreen: Do a 'route -n' in a console, upload result to pastebin | 10:27 |
| Noreen | yes, as i said, i cannot connect to the internet | 10:27 |
| Noreen | when i click on my connection, put in the password, nothing happens | 10:27 |
| Noreen | literally nothing, as if i had put in the wrong password (i didn't, i retried lots of times to be sure) | 10:28 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, "ping 8.8.8.8" means open a terminal, type ping 8.8.8.8 then press <enter> key | 10:28 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: why mv? | 10:28 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: just unmount and then unmount in the new folder. Or use the gui and just doubleclick | 10:29 |
| AlexPortable | eguneys: if you removed your files, restore your backup | 10:29 |

| Ben64 | broadcom _always_ is bad | 10:32 |
| grosjean | :) | 10:32 |
| Noreen | someone said the ethernet wouldn't help | 10:32 |
| Ben64 | it would help you get internet | 10:32 |

| guig33k | rythmbox isnt still importing tracks | 10:34 |

| Noreen | i don't really understand what i'm doing i just do what people tell me to do. anwyay. i don't have gcc, it was a dependency for... either the firmware or something i needed before i could get the firmware | 10:39 |

| Lachezar | AlexPortable: depends on the model. Most have USB Tethering options. | 10:44 |
| AlexPortable | It says USB not connected | 10:45 |
| Lachezar | AlexPortable: You have to connect the phone to the computer, In the USB options of the phone enable 'Share my Internet Connection with the computer' (or something of the sorts). The Network Manager applet should see a new device (looks like a Wired Connection) that you can use (automatic DHCP works). | 10:47 |

| Silex | I'd rather find something more agnostic than rc6.d given that in the next upgrade my system will likely be on systemd. Can we tell a module to remove itself on shutdown? | 11:07 |

| tafa2 | and just wondering which one is prob best to start learning based on other user's experiences | 11:48 |

| viejotren | Hi, i have problems with ubuntu-sdk, i don't have installed these packages: process-cpp, libunity-scopes and net-cpp, I've already update my click target, still the same problem, these packages are not in repos, do you have any idea how to fix it? | 11:49 |
| somsip | tafa2: we discourage polls in this channel. They are very similar. There are others including ansible (which I use) too. Each offer different ways of controlling servers, and of accessing them | 11:49 |
| tarelerulz | So I understand correctly I would have a live usb if stuck the usb in at boot and a normal USB drive in a running computer that is in the os? | 11:49 |
| bazhang | tarelerulz, persistence means you run from the usb and can save to it | 11:50 |
| bazhang | tarelerulz, if you want live only (ie no save) the partition it that beforehand | 11:51 |
| hxm | guys i like transmission, but it has low features, exists an alternative to use bittorrent trought web? | 11:51 |
| jvrodrigues | ok so i pinpoint the problem to gsettings not reading hte dconf configurations, anyone knows why this would happen? | 11:52 |
| tarelerulz | So I could make a partition with my free space for all pictures , songs ect and other part for the live iso file? | 11:52 |

| MrClaw | Hey! I have a computer that I control using a web interface. I'd also like to control what's displayed on the computer's screen. The best scenario, since I'm a web developer so I could take the most out of it, would be to display webpages on the screen in a sort of full screen mode. Do you have any ideas how to make it so that the computer wouldn't log in to a user account, yet run a server that would tell the computer what to display? | 11:54 |
| bazhang | MrClaw, like a kiosk? | 11:55 |
| MrClaw | bazhang: Sort of, only you wouldn't be able to control it with the computer itself, only remotely. At the moment what it is is a webserver taking requests from users through a web interface and then running stuff, but I'd like to be able to play youtube videos and display some text and this sort of stuff. | 11:56 |
| MrClaw | (A web interface should be enough, though I'm a programmer, so I could also write some OpenGL stuff... Anyway, I need to know how to do it without logging in as a user, or WITH logging in, but then I'd have to ignore the keyboard/mouse input.) | 11:57 |
| bazhang | MrClaw, a thin client, soudns like | 11:57 |
| MrClaw | Basically, a computer that plays youtube videos/displays stuff, but you can't control it locally, only remotely. | 11:57 |
| cfhowlett | MrClaw, sounds like a kiosk ... | 11:58 |
| MrClaw | Well, the server and the display are the same computer, only I don't want people to press keys on the computer, because it's a notebook. | 11:58 |
| MrClaw | It's not a business thing though, I'm making this for my flatmates | 11:58 |
| Noreen | IT WORKS IT WORKS I'M CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET ERIC^^ ! everybody! everybody! it works! I uninstalled lubuntu and put on ubuntu and it worked immediately righto ut of the box | 11:58 |
| cfhowlett | Noreen, it's all in the wrist ... | 11:59 |
| MrClaw | I don't want them to be able to fiddle with the computer using it's keyboard/mouse, but I want them to be able to control it remotely. | 11:59 |
| MrClaw | Well, I guess it would be a combo of a server and a thin client... | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett | MrClaw, over my head but do-able. | 11:59 |
| Noreen | thanks for your help cfhowlett! everything you said would have worked if i'd had problems with ubuntu instead of lubuntu, i know it, but it just didn't have the files it should have had.. TOO light | 11:59 |
| MrClaw | cfhowlett: I know. :) | 11:59 |

| MrClaw | Hm. Maybe a way would be not to block the keyboard and mouse input, but only run a web browser on the computer, so that they can't alter the system settings and stuff, but still be able to control the browser. | 12:00 |
| jvrodrigues | Hum, if i change UI settings in the settings screen nothing happens, has no effect whatsoever, anyone has any idea why? | 12:01 |

| xubuntuuser | says it is missing a libuser.conf | 15:00 |
| bbryant | well there you go | 15:00 |
| xubuntuuser | i can't get that conf file to install | 15:01 |
| xubuntuuser | i have removed and reinstalled a few times | 15:01 |
| xubuntuuser | there are other errors too | 15:01 |
| xubuntuuser | how do I post them all? | 15:01 |
| hateball | !paste | 15:01 |

| bbryant | xubuntuuser: that appears to be a known error right now | 15:02 |
| bbryant | according to my research | 15:02 |
| xubuntuuser | really? where did you see that? I couldn't find it anywhere | 15:02 |

| bbryant | reported a few days ago | 15:02 |
| xubuntuuser | so I just wait for updates to be issued? | 15:03 |
| bbryant | or if you come up with a solution, you can post it on the bug report | 15:03 |
| bbryant | and become a contributor to the project | 15:03 |
| xubuntuuser | i'd love to but i'm a huge n00b | 15:03 |
| bbryant | then I'd sign up for an account on that website | 15:04 |
| bbryant | and have it email you updates to that bug report | 15:04 |
| bbryant | you'll see "subscribe to this bug's notifications" on the right | 15:04 |
| xubuntuuser | ha, the fix there works | 15:04 |
| xubuntuuser | i didn't see it | 15:04 |
| xubuntuuser | Thanks for pointing me to that bbryant | 15:05 |
| bbryant | oh I didn't see the fix in the report | 15:05 |
| bbryant | cool! | 15:05 |

| reisio | MrSavage: yes | 15:13 |
| hikenboot | trying to restore a cloned image from clonezilla and the partition happens to be on dev/sda5 | 15:13 |

| akis | hi all. i want to install xubuntu 14.04.1 on my brand new hp HEWLETT PACKARD 14-r107nv N2840 with Intel® Celeron® Processor N2840 2.16 GHz and 4gb ram. do i have to proceed with 64 bit version or can i go on with 32 bit version? will 32bit version works properly with my 4gm ram memory? the notebook is coming with windows 8.1 if this helps. | 15:14 |
| MrSavage | reisio: can i choose upon format? | 15:15 |
| reisio | MrSavage: format? | 15:15 |
| reisio | akis: you can use either, but it's likely you'd want 64-bit, hang on | 15:15 |
| MrSavage | reisio: when i install ubuntu | 15:16 |
| reisio | akis: yes that's a 64-bit "amd64" processor, so it can do either 32-bit or 64-bit, but since it's 64-bit you'd be wasteful to not use 64-bit | 15:16 |
| reisio | MrSavage: um, you can technically, but it'd probably be simpler to go through the install as normal, and then once you're installed, replace the window manager as desired | 15:16 |
| MrSavage | ok | 15:17 |
| MrSavage | is it hard to change? | 15:17 |
| bbryant | the only reason to use 32bit is a 32bit processor | 15:17 |
| medecau | hi | 15:17 |
| bbryant | MrSavage: no | 15:17 |
| bbryant | hi medecau | 15:17 |
| bbryant | how's your day going? | 15:17 |
| medecau | it’s cold | 15:18 |
| reisio | what he means is the only reason to use 32-bit is a 32-bit _only_ processor | 15:18 |
| akis | reisio: thank you my friend. i started already the 64bit iso download. | 15:18 |
| reisio | akis: :) | 15:18 |

| medecau | I am about to blast my mac mini(late 2012) with ubuntu. I intend to use it for servers like minecraft and teamspeak but also and more importantly to host small “web apps”; long running scripts, like scrapers; long running scripts/daemons like bots; and some dbs, like elasticsearch. One of the points I have most doubts about is that some of the apps and scripts have to be pulled from public repo and should be available to some other users. | 15:26 |
| medecau | Maybe even isolated. What is the best version of ubuntu for this? I see a few options on the site but am not sure what to go for. | 15:26 |
| reisio | OerHeks: they don't make it easy for people who know what an arch is :p | 15:26 |
| remd1196 | It may be a ro fs good point, I’ll check | 15:26 |
| reisio | hxm: http://alternativeto.net/browse/search/?q=plex&platform=linux | 15:27 |
| reisio | a lot of things that do work for arm aren't stated as working for arm, though | 15:27 |

| hxm | yes i was reading those list too, but i dont know if they are able to connect to the tv | 15:27 |
| hxm | yeap, is not easy | 15:28 |
| bbryant | but I will warn you, if that yours goal and your question, you've got a long road ahead of you to accomplishing what you want | 15:28 |
| xoxo | noob question. Will 14.04 recieve Firefox 34? | 15:28 |
| medecau | bbryant: what do you expect to be the biggest point of struggle? | 15:28 |
| bbryant | medecau: general linux aptitude | 15:29 |
| reisio | xoxo: various ways you could provide it regardless | 15:29 |
| bbryant | familiarity with the terminal | 15:29 |
| bbryant | that sort of thing | 15:29 |
| malinus | I've been getting this error for a few days: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9345980/ should I find a other mirror or what? | 15:29 |
| medecau | bbryant: I already use the terminal a bit, not scared. Just a bit lost with the options. | 15:30 |
| xoxo | reisio: Will it come to official repo? | 15:30 |
| bbryant | medecau: well literally anything from server ubuntu to desktop ubuntu can do what you want | 15:30 |
| bbryant | server ubuntu would be most efficient, and might be what I'd choose for the project | 15:30 |
| bbryant | but someone with less familiarity should definitely go with a gui on top of that as well | 15:30 |
| bbryant | so I'd suggest the latest lts | 15:30 |
| remd1196 | any way to restart selinux without rebooting ? Im copying some folders over and don’t want to rsync them aferwards if I can avoid as there are many files.. | 15:30 |

| remd1196 | I guess selinux shows up in /sys/fs/selinux if it is started... | 15:31 |
| remd1196 | and sssd seems to be missing that folder to start... | 15:31 |

| Krambiorix | cj i really dont | 16:04 |
| cj | Krambiorix: perhaps you've got a keyboard attached that your bios doesn't recognized but grub does... unlikely these days, but possible | 16:04 |

| Krambiorix | bbryant , i see the lenovo button and start hitting f2 but i end up in grub rescue... | 16:07 |

| reisio | fix? Sounds ideal | 16:16 |
| reisio | did you rely on a blinking light to know your wifi was working? | 16:16 |
| reisio | isn't it... apparent? | 16:16 |
| bbryant | lol | 16:16 |
| bbryant | related | 16:16 |
| reisio | light is just an annoying redundancy | 16:16 |
| bbryant | how do I turn that off? | 16:16 |
| reisio | bbryant: hahahah | 16:16 |
| reisio | ask Pinkamena_D | 16:16 |
| Pinkamena_D | hmm, well I am an oldie I guess | 16:18 |
| reisio | so you like the light? | 16:18 |
| Pinkamena_D | I liked that on my last laptop, off was disconnected, on was connected, and different blink rates showed different speeds of transfer | 16:18 |
| Pinkamena_D | it actually scaled well too | 16:18 |
| bbryant | so for anyone wondering, yes it does still work as a wifi toggle despite seizing like an epileptic on a regular basis | 16:19 |
| Pinkamena_D | bluetooth did the same thing also | 16:19 |
| bbryant | the gods have looked at you kindly, Pinkamena_D | 16:19 |

| mEHtHINX | Sacrificial Lamb maybe | 16:29 |
| Harminuriel | Lenovo has a recovery system that allows you to restore windows to factory stats, I was wondering if I will be able to reinstall windows with this recovery system even thought I use Ubuntu (I found multiple partitions that maybe are used for this purpose) | 16:29 |
| bbryant | if you remove windows you will not be able to use the recovery system to get it back | 16:30 |
| bbryant | however, you can dual boot | 16:30 |
| hwilde | how do I upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 ?? | 16:31 |
| OerHeks | Harminuriel, sure, but be carefull, recovery will wipe all bits except the recovery partition | 16:31 |
| hwilde | Err Upgrade tool signature | 16:31 |
| hwilde | 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8c01::19 80] | 16:31 |
| bbryant | OerHeks: are you sure it'll be able to do that? | 16:32 |
| bbryant | my understand is taht those recovery partitions work on incremental backups | 16:32 |
| bbryant | and don't have a full restoration available if you haev overwritten windows | 16:32 |
| OerHeks | bbryant, if the hotkey to go to recovery still works | 16:32 |
| Harminuriel | Oh the hotkey is a button near the power one (called Nova Button) | 16:33 |
| OerHeks | bbryant, never seen a partial diskuse, only full | 16:33 |
| Harminuriel | http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/127597018499211 I've found this about the Lenovo feature | 16:35 |
| Harminuriel | Also I used it once and it worked, it seemed like a full reinstallation of Windows (I had no recovery points, I completely restored) | 16:36 |
| acmehandle | Which apt-get package do I need to install for syslog? | 16:36 |
| bbryant | Harminuriel: that's a users guide, it doesn't explain to me the technical underpinnings of what's going on | 16:36 |
| OerHeks | Harminuriel, there you go, after that you need to reinstall ubuntu again | 16:36 |

| Harminuriel | OerHerks, can you explain? | 16:38 |
| OerHeks | Harminuriel, explain what? how windows recovery will wipe all data? | 16:38 |
| bbryant | OerHeks: he wants to know if ubuntu is on that partition | 16:39 |
| bbryant | can everything be restored back to windows with lenovo recovery? | 16:39 |
| bbryant | I don't know enough about it to give a definitive answer | 16:39 |
| Harminuriel | I know this, but will it reinstall windows even if I have wiped it with Ubuntu? (but kept the extra Lenovo partitions) | 16:40 |
| reisio | Harminuriel: if you have the media that reinstalls, it will reinstall | 16:40 |
| reisio | if you haven't, it won't, 'cause you won't have it | 16:40 |
| OerHeks | Harminuriel, yes, if the hotkey to go to recovery still works | 16:40 |
| === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux | ||
| Harminuriel | Uhm.... ok... | 16:41 |
| OerHeks | else see reisio, use the media that comes with the machine | 16:41 |
| xamxam | Harminuriel: Why don't you back that partition up on external HDD drive? Is there any option like that? HP laptops have this feature. | 16:41 |
| Harminuriel | the recovery partition? | 16:41 |
| squinty | Harminuriel: you should make Windows Recovery DVDs of that partition anyways just so you are covered in event of that partition failure etc | 16:42 |
| Harminuriel | Uhm, I'll try to backup! | 16:43 |
| xamxam | Yeah, which holds OEM windows data and everything, one which can be used when system goes corrupt. | 16:43 |
| hwilde | how do I upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 ?? | 16:43 |
| xamxam | Hi, How do i reset my ubuntu fonts to default ones? | 16:43 |
| hwilde | it says it cannot calculate the upgrade | 16:43 |
| squinty | !upgrade | 16:43 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 16:43 |
| hwilde | it says it cannot calculate the upgrade | 16:43 |
| Harminuriel | xamxam, what didi you used to change the fonts? I did it some time ago (before my old pc broke) and I restored the default ones also | 16:45 |
| gamingrobot | I am installing ubuntu server 14.04 from a disk to a flashdrive, the server has no harddrives and after I boot from the flashdrive I get a blinking cursor. I think it is grub that cant find the main/boot partition. | 16:45 |
| Harminuriel | So I could help you | 16:45 |
| xamxam | Harminuriel: I wanted to have these persian fonts work while using facebook, so i installed windows fonts, which messed up the usual ubuntu fonts, i want to revert back to how it was before i did any of fonts installation. | 16:47 |
| Harminuriel | have you selected them with tools like Unity/Gnome tweak tools? | 16:48 |

| xamxam | Harminuriel: Honestly, i dont know what i did, it did involve some package which has windows fonts. | 16:50 |

| jhobbs | it's happening on multiple systems | 16:51 |
| jhobbs | i think it's a problem with the archives, not my system | 16:51 |
| Harminuriel | uhm... I've found this. Never tried to reset through terminal... but try the graphical way first http://askubuntu.com/questions/4989/reset-gnome-font-configuration | 16:52 |

| moza | Hello, i need some help with my printer-scanner. I thought it was just not responding because of a problem in the ink levels, but i managed to do a copy from a color drawing, so it must be in the connection between ubuntu and the printer. | 17:31 |
| moza | I can't print anything at the moment. I am running ubuntu 14.04 and the printer is an Epson Stylus SX200 | 17:32 |
| OerHeks | moza, happened to me too, colour ink is there, but without black it will not print. solution: buy new black ink | 17:33 |
| moza | I have black ink | 17:34 |
| moza | I can copy a colour + black drawing | 17:34 |
| moza | OerHeks : i bought new ink several times, but since i upgraded to 14.04 it completely stopped working. | 17:35 |
| OerHeks | moza, oh oke, i thought you had a ink issue. | 17:35 |
| OerHeks | epson is great supported | 17:36 |
| moza | I thought it was an ink issue at first, but it doesn't seem to be anymore. | 17:36 |
| moza | OerHeks : then i must be doing something wrong. | 17:36 |
| moza | Is there a way to check what i could have done wrong? Updated drivers? a tutorial? | 17:36 |
| OerHeks | epson is just plug and play, not sure what you can do. what happens when you print? does it accept the job but does not print? | 17:39 |

| e-i-k-e | adding -r to the command and placing the regexp parts in [] brackets also won't make this work for me | 18:47 |

| ubuntul0ver | longloop: ln -s target link-name | 19:22 |
| Rory | fdfddfdf: You should use TRIM http://askubuntu.com/a/443779 | 19:22 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: looks good .. | 19:22 |
| longloop | ubuntul0ver: I am doing that . but it doesnt work | 19:22 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: what exactly ? | 19:23 |
| pbx | fdfddfdf, i'm pretty sure trim is enabled by default in 14.04. i see it in cron.weekly | 19:23 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: are you trying to link ? | 19:23 |
| Rory | pbx: It's vendor-dependent | 19:23 |
| fdfddfdf | it says that only intel and samsung ssds have it by default, mine is kingston so do i just add --no-model-check to that file | 19:23 |
| dj_rechner | my | 19:23 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: ./ ? | 19:23 |
| Rory | fdfddfdf: Did you TRIM on Windows? | 19:24 |
| longloop | @ubuntul0ver while being in A/B I typed ... | 19:24 |
| longloop | ln -s D C | 19:24 |
| fdfddfdf | yes | 19:24 |
| longloop | but it wont work | 19:24 |
| Rory | fdfddfdf: Then yes. | 19:24 |
| Rory | fdfddfdf: You can also just do it manually every so often with: sudo fstrim -v / | 19:24 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: ln -s D C only works in the same dirctory .. | 19:24 |
| fdfddfdf | so that's enough that i dont need to worry about it then anymore since it should now run trim for it weekly | 19:25 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: try using absolute paths .. | 19:25 |
| ubuntul0ver | longloop: or hard links .. (without -s) | 19:25 |
| berz3rk | Hey, where can I get help regarding Unity Next | 19:25 |

| xubuntuuser | anyone good with samba configurations? | 19:26 |
| pbx | xubuntuuser, ask your question with detail and you'll find out | 19:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | or rather, ask your real question. | 19:28 |
| xubuntuuser | samba is asking for a workgroup password when there isn't one | 19:29 |

| MrSavage | or games like league of legends | 19:46 |
| grosjean | if you are a hard gamer, they maybe run more natively under windows | 19:46 |

| grosjean | soman: if you have the deb packages you know the name of the package | 20:09 |
| saleem | english | 20:09 |
| soman | grosjean: how to find out package name from deb filename? For example for 'libfontconfig1_2.9.0-7.1_amd64' ? libfontconfig>? | 20:10 |
| soman | and what will happen with replaced / updated packages? They will return at old ver or will be removed completely? | 20:10 |

| bbryant | wbill: ~/.bash_history | 20:20 |
| bbryant | it's all in that file | 20:20 |
| bbryant | at least everything that's saved between sessions | 20:21 |
| bbryant | it might not have your current sessions history in it yet | 20:21 |
| bbryant | but the rest is in that file | 20:21 |
| wbill | ok what is the command line if i wanted toprint that whole history to a file say in my home dir or other? | 20:22 |

| Tinkerlad | If grub wont install while I am installing ubuntu server 14.04.1 what are my options, can I install it later? | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | wbill, do that in ~/.bashrc > HISTSIZE & HISTFILESIZE | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | wbill, that will do for that user only | 20:36 |

| xangua | DualBootMePlease: you shouldn't neither be using windows XP or Wubi | 20:38 |
| DualBootMePlease | I was never given any option with the Ubuntu install from LIveUSB for "intall alongside Windows XP" so i manually created the two necessary partitions beside the Windows XP partition. This is okay? | 20:38 |

| rfxchlx | easy as that and Linux will recognise both partitions | 20:45 |

| daftykins | waressearcher2: just try it and find out, it really comes down to what you're trying to run. a java channel might provide more insight as to what works well and what doesn't | 20:45 |
| monkeyjuice | DualBootMePlease: windows is most likley using all the partiti0ns on your hard drive you can only have four of them | 20:45 |

| brianblaze420 | u probably skipped the install grub part when installing ubuntu DualBootMePlease | 20:47 |
| trijntje_ | DualBootMePlease: something went wrong with the install. The easiest is to now delete the ubuntu and swap partitions, and start the install again | 20:47 |

| DualBootMePlease | I can only access WindowsXp right now, and have no internet via it since it needs a driver. | 20:48 |
| littlebit | daftykins: gain performance at playing a 1080p mkv file with no lag | 20:48 |
| rfxchlx | mount your partition first | 20:48 |
| brianblaze420 | why u make me repaet 20 times | 20:48 |
| rfxchlx | then chroot to it | 20:48 |
| rfxchlx | pretty simple | 20:48 |
| DualBootMePlease | Okay *how do i install grub* , don't make me repreat question 40 times | 20:48 |
| brianblaze420 | re install ubuntu | 20:48 |
| daftykins | littlebit: mkv is a container, the codecs inside are the relevant part. i'd recommend XBMC (now called Kodi) if you want a media centre like experience, depends how you use this device. | 20:48 |
| brianblaze420 | or go into live cd | 20:48 |
| brianblaze420 | and install grub | 20:48 |
| rfxchlx | you dont need to reinstall ubuntu, that is bullshit | 20:48 |
| brianblaze420 | (usb) | 20:48 |
| waressearcher2 | also about that one: "You can run Minecraft with the default open-source drivers, but the proprietary drivers will improve Minecraft?s performance.", is that true ? its better to use proprietary drivers for better game experience ? | 20:49 |
| brianblaze420 | well I don't know if he even installed ubuntu properly so | 20:49 |
| daftykins | rfxchlx: that language is not acceptable here. | 20:49 |

| littlebit | daftykins: I plan to use that pc as a small browsing station and eventually watch a movie | 20:49 |
| trijntje_ | DualBootMePlease: something went wrong with the install. The easiest is to now delete the ubuntu and swap partitions, and start the install again | 20:49 |
| DualBootMePlease | how can i "get inside of LiveUSB" i have to go to BIOS and click a boot override to get to it at all (not sure why it won't work with set boot order) but then it asks "try ubuntu" or "install ubuntu" or "OEM isntall" is there another option specifically for grub? | 20:49 |
| brianblaze420 | plus if u re install then you can see at the end where us skipped the install grub lol | 20:50 |
| daftykins | littlebit: ok, well you still haven't actually said what you're comparing between. if you mean you had ubuntu with unity on it to start with, then yes xubuntu will be faster for the older limited hardware (ion1 perhaps?) | 20:50 |
| brianblaze420 | u don't know how to boot a live cd/usb? | 20:50 |
| DualBootMePlease | Before i try reinstalling ubuntu for a 3rd time, can someone answer this extremely basic question: I was not given a "install along side Windows XP option". It was NOT greyed out. It was NOT THERE. Is that a problem? Is it a problem that i manually created the partitions via "select other" ? | 20:50 |
| DualBootMePlease | Is that inherently wrong? Or could it work? | 20:50 |
| rfxchlx | you said your logged into the liveUSB, didnt you? | 20:50 |
| monkeyjuice | DualBootMePlease: windows is most likley using all the partiti0ns on your hard drive you can only have four of them | 20:50 |
| monkeyjuice | so you cant dual boot | 20:51 |
| brianblaze420 | windows boot manager will not see anything but windows | 20:51 |
| DualBootMePlease | Windows XP was using ONE partition. Not four. Stop saying that please. | 20:51 |
| brianblaze420 | u need grub lol | 20:51 |
| brianblaze420 | but ask me again | 20:51 |
| DualBootMePlease | I'm asking you to answer the question i asked. not something else. | 20:51 |
| DualBootMePlease | Is that technically a correct method for isntallation? | 20:51 |
| trijntje_ | DualBootMePlease: why dont you try a recent version of ubuntu, instead of one that isnt supported anyway? | 20:51 |
| DualBootMePlease | I can not try a recent version because I am already using the liveUSB. Unless you know a away to use a live USB and download ANOTHER. | 20:52 |
| littlebit | daftykins: ah right. I was trying to compare the standard video drivers that are shipped with xubuntu, and the one that are provided from the vendor in the "additional drivers" section | 20:52 |
| DualBootMePlease | can i reformat this stick while i am "using it" or is it not in use? | 20:52 |
| trijntje_ | !lts | 20:52 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) | 20:52 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: what's wrong with downloading the newer release from in XP? | 20:52 |
| DualBootMePlease | I CANT FREAKING USE XP TO DOWNLOAD> I DO NOT HAVE INTERNET> I"VE SAID THAT FIVE TIMES NOW. | 20:52 |
| brianblaze420 | so just boot live usb... via boot menu at bios and then install grub or reinstall ubuntu | 20:52 |
| DualBootMePlease | XP needs a freaking driver. | 20:52 |
| DualBootMePlease | My wireless adapter driver. | 20:52 |
| DualBootMePlease | You guys remember that Windows uses drivers, right? | 20:52 |
| rfxchlx | dude just mount your ubuntu partition somewhere and chroot into it | 20:52 |
| daftykins | so why don't you download that driver with the session you're typing from now? | 20:53 |
| rfxchlx | after that you can update-grub | 20:53 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: showing attitude is going to get you nowhere. | 20:53 |
| DualBootMePlease | aww shutup daftykins. you and your ideas. :D | 20:53 |

| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: you're correct you can't change the flash drive whilst it's booted, so sure grab a driver download if you can to get XP up and working online - then use that to download 14.04.1, then rework the flash drive and install that. | 20:54 |
| DualBootMePlease | In otherwords, is the USB being USED right now, or just to load out the gate? | 20:54 |
| daftykins | it's in use yes | 20:54 |

| Nedal | Hi, My webcam doesn t work they say Couldn t connect to video device /dev/video0 please check connection. ( I have an integrated camera in my laptop and it works fine on windows) | 20:54 |
| DualBootMePlease | alternately i have a DVD-RW and a huge stack of DVD-Rs ... i could put the ISO on there? maybe that would be more-betterer anyhow? | 20:55 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: if you still can't use firefox to find your driver, give me your wireless adapter's make and model and i will be happy to give you an alternative way to download it so you can get XP online again first. | 20:55 |
| === jarek is now known as Guest38163 | ||
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: yeah, you won't have enough space to really download the ISO during a live session though, unless you download it to the Windows hard disk | 20:55 |
| DualBootMePlease | i ahve the iso | 20:56 |
| DualBootMePlease | it is actually the ISO i used to make this liveUSB, so i'm not sure why this instance is 13.10 cuz the file clearly says 14.4 ? | 20:56 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: what's the file name? where did you first see 13.10 mentioned? | 20:56 |
| DualBootMePlease | ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 20:56 |
| DualBootMePlease | As soon as i stuck the LiveUSB in to run it, it said "13.10" | 20:57 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: given you had XP on this system, are you sure it's new enough to take 64-bit ubuntu? | 20:57 |
| DualBootMePlease | My system is bran UEFI spankin new. | 20:57 |
| daftykins | oh my word and you used XP :( | 20:57 |
| DualBootMePlease | So new it actually took Ubuntu 9 months after purchase to clear all the serious bugs from it. | 20:57 |
| DualBootMePlease | I NEED XP FOR AUTOCAD2004 :( | 20:57 |
| daftykins | next time you use caps, i will walk away | 20:57 |
| DualBootMePlease | ^^^super super lower case ... I need XP for autocad2004^^^ | 20:58 |
| daftykins | alright well i gave you a course of action, so you can either resolve wireless drivers in XP, download a new ISO to be 100% certain and put it on DVD (though flash drive is infinitely better)... or something else | 20:59 |
| Nedal | Guys , My webcam doesn t work they say Couldn t connect to video device /dev/video0 please check connection. ( I have an integrated camera in my laptop and it works fine on windows) | 20:59 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: to confirm what version your flash drive is, open the terminal program and run "cat /etc/issue" or "lsb_release -a" | 20:59 |
| DualBootMePlease | Did anyone answer the basic question of if i am not seeing "install Ubuntu alongside of Windows XP" if that fundamentally indicates a problem? | 20:59 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: likely you booted in EFI mode when XP won't be, since it doesn't support EFI. for more info... | 20:59 |
| daftykins | !uefi | DualBootMePlease read here | 20:59 |
| ubottu | DualBootMePlease read here: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 20:59 |
| DualBootMePlease | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /cat /etc/issue | 21:00 |
| DualBootMePlease | bash: /cat: No such file or directory | 21:00 |
| DualBootMePlease | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb-release -a | 21:00 |
| DualBootMePlease | No command 'lsb-release' found, did you mean: | 21:00 |
| DualBootMePlease | Command 'lsb_release' from package 'lsb-release' (main) | 21:00 |
| DualBootMePlease | lsb-release: command not found | 21:00 |

| carif | looking at /var/log/boot.log, it looks like cloud-init is run even for a desktop install, is that true? | 21:00 |
| daftykins | schultza: configure the power options in system settings | 21:00 |
| VanceX | DualBootMe Please: If you've confirmed Ubuntu is installed upon the drive, have you switched to "Legacy" boot within your bios? | 21:01 |
| DualBootMePlease | i don't know what you want me to read about UEFI, but I am aware that it is a PIA, and I am also aware that even with UEFI disabled for some reason this LiveUSB instance would not allow me to run the install from the Non-UEFI USB choice. It simply failed. Only the UEFI choice would run the LiveUSB install. :( | 21:01 |
| schultza | ill have to install that.... for some reason.. it's currently not installed. | 21:01 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: can you run my commands again without typos, please - you didn't get them right "cat /etc/issue" | 21:01 |

| DualBootMePlease | When you stick a USB drive in and go to BIOS you have the option of selecting it UEFI or selecting it not UEFI .... whichever isntance you select is how it installs. Only the UEFI choice is working. | 21:02 |
| DualBootMePlease | i'm really good at typos though | 21:02 |

| daftykins | yeah so you can't dualboot with XP by booting EI | 21:02 |
| daftykins | *EFI | 21:02 |
| DualBootMePlease | so you are saying the XP install is probably OK but i need to get Ubuntu installed NON-uefi? | 21:03 |
| wbill | ok another newb ? if i update my ~/.bashrc how do i update it on the fly correctly- ie without havng to reboot? | 21:03 |
| daftykins | correct | 21:03 |
| gr33n7007h | 13.10 not supported | 21:03 |
| daftykins | DualBootMePlease: alright, so regardless that flash drive is an unsupported version. so resolve XP's wireless driver and download 14.04.1 proper. | 21:03 |
| DualBootMePlease | okay. i'm gonna try burning this 14.4 ISO to DVD and see where that gets me. | 21:03 |
| schultza | 14.04 lts without desktop installed.. then i installed the ubuntu-desktop package... for some reason, not everything installed | 21:03 |
| DualBootMePlease | no i have 14.04 ... i'll just burn it to DVD. | 21:03 |
| daftykins | schultza: sure you're not seeing the little cog icon on the left-hand side launcher? | 21:04 |
| Tinkerlad | Whilst we are on 14.04.1, Why do I keep getting BADSIG:********* when I run apt-get update | 21:04 |

| DualBootMePlease | Hey Dafty ... if i alraedy have that 13.10 copy installed am i going to have to manualy delete those partitions first? or do you think it will still give me the option to "install alonside Windows XP" even though it already also recognizes an installed copy of Ubuntu? You follow that q? | 21:15 |
| clinggg | I'm still on 12.04 and I won't upgrade lol | 21:15 |

| Tinkerlad | im at the ash terminal | 21:27 |
| schultza | Tinkerlad: in the /var/cache/apt/archives | 21:28 |
| schultza | Tinkerlad: should be a grub*.deb file | 21:28 |
| Tinkerlad | schultza, on the ramdisk or /target? | 21:28 |
| schultza | in /target then | 21:29 |
| schultza | hmm... not sure if .... or ramdisk.. i dont know where installation puts packages... check both | 21:29 |
| schultza | if it is... installed it from cache with no connectivity... i dont know why you are having limited connectivity | 21:29 |
| Tinkerlad | Also how do I list files in dir from ash terminal? | 21:30 |
| schultza | Tinkerlad: should be the 'ls' command | 21:31 |

| bynarie | simple question: im running 14.10 right now, and cannot get my nvidia drivers to work no matter what i do... do you think if i goto 14.04 I will have better support? | 22:06 |
| kolossen | so, how do i check if my bluetooth is working? | 22:07 |
| bbryant | bynarie: so they weren't working when you installed, correct? | 22:07 |
| kolossen | and is there a program to let you send commands to it from the command line? | 22:07 |
| bynarie | bbryant, honestly im not sure because as soon as i installed, i upgraded kernel to latest and finally wantedf to play games so i tried to setup drivers | 22:08 |
| bbryant | kolossen: what | 22:08 |
| bbryant | bynarie: ok, what happened next | 22:08 |
| bynarie | bbryant, they "appear" to be loaded in additional drivers, but nvidia-settings doesnt work | 22:08 |
| bynarie | it loads but doesnt show the full options | 22:09 |
| bynarie | then, i tried to install steam to play CS, i get opengl errors | 22:09 |
| bbryant | hm | 22:09 |
| bbryant | well it's always worth trying a version that's been out longer | 22:09 |
| bynarie | bbryant, Open GLX extension not supported | 22:09 |
| bbryant | I certainly think it's worth a shot | 22:09 |
| bbryant | but I'm no expert on nvidia issues with linux | 22:10 |
| bynarie | bbryant, now check this out... im dual booting linux mint 17 along with buntu 14.10.. linux mint 17 nvidia works perfect.. no problemsa | 22:10 |
| bynarie | bbryant, pretty much same config on both OSes | 22:10 |
| bbryant | same from the nvidia side\ | 22:10 |
| bbryant | probably not the kernel side | 22:11 |
| bynarie | and since lm 17 is based on buntu 14.o4, i figure i may have a better shot | 22:11 |

| Tinkerlad0 | soooo. Running sudo apt-get update keeps failing.... GPG Errors on many of the repos.... Any ideas? | 22:12 |
| DilloYoda | Ah, OK | 22:12 |
| bynarie | Tinkerlad0, which repos specifically? | 22:12 |
| g0th | hi | 22:12 |

| DilloYoda | There have been some issues, but it's smooth at the moment | 22:13 |
| Tinkerlad0 | trusty-updates, trusty-backports, trusty-security all from au.archive.ubuntu.com | 22:13 |

| DilloYoda | you can change the mirror in the Software & Updates panel | 22:14 |
| Tinkerlad0 | DilloYoda, Im on 14.04.1 server | 22:14 |
| bynarie | Tinkerlad0, when you get the error, does it give you a key number? | 22:14 |
| bynarie | you probably need to install the keys | 22:14 |
| Tinkerlad0 | bynarie, BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 | 22:15 |

| g0th | like in a new installation? | 22:18 |
| DilloYoda | g0th, I don't know that there is a global reset to defaults | 22:19 |

| g0th | reinstall what? | 22:19 |
| bynarie | your DE | 22:19 |
| DilloYoda | you might have to go into the Control Panels for whatever you want set back to default | 22:19 |

| g0th | I didn't have it installed | 22:21 |
| g0th | but I can try to install it | 22:21 |

| Bazyl | Bashing-om, unity i think | 22:50 |
| Bashing-om | Bazyl: And the only problem is 'Thunderbird' ? .. Might try re-installing the plugin . | 22:51 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, yes, only Thunderbird's widnow is broken | 22:51 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, i cant resize it | 22:51 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, i did try: sudo apt-get remove --purge thunderbird and then restart PC then sudo apt-get install thunderbird | 22:52 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, and nothing... | 22:53 |
| Bashing-om | Bazyl: Sorry, that is all I knew to try. I would have thought too it would resolve the issue. | 22:56 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, ok thx anyway | 22:56 |
| Bashing-om | Bazyl: A thought, have you rebooted, and started FireFox for the change to take effect ? | 22:59 |
| Bazyl | Bashing-om, Firefox? for what? i have problem with Thunderbird - it's mail client | 23:00 |

| k1l_ | christian_: you are aware that you need to track all updates etc if you want to rely on rkhunter? its not like a "i clikc that button and are safe" program | 23:30 |
| k1l_ | christian_: if you or a update changes files in the meantime the hash is changed without a bad hacker compromising your system at all. | 23:31 |
| k1l_ | christian_: i think you got a wrong impression of how rkhunter makes your system more secure | 23:32 |
