[00:00] * daftykins bows [00:00] how can i move files off my phone that has WP7 ? [00:02] can gtk+ do this work well? insert a html into a gtk+ layer? [00:02] like this in osx: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e996460609ccffc22690bee5da8ea7bc64fbc480/68747470733a2f2f7261772e6769746875622e636f6d2f4f70656e4669626572732f57595959592d4f53582d6d6164652d696e2d4368696e612f6d61737465722f73637265656e73686f74312e706e67 [00:03] Finetundra_: underline the word ubuntu in your question :) [00:04] hi all - I'm trying to mount an image to a folder with Furious ISO mount - I select the img, a new folder appears in my home folder - but it's entirely empty (the img is not empty....I can restore it fine with dd to my device) [00:05] how can i move files off my phone that has WP7 on ubuntu? [00:05] Finetundra_: does windows phone provide a usb mount thing? how would you do that on windows? [00:06] I didn't realize Windows phones still existed....last I saw they were at something like 6% of the market [00:06] k1l, plug it in. then windows would install drivers. [00:07] Finetundra_: does it provide a mtp mode? [00:08] jmadero, this is an older. however i believe you have the option of getting the recent HTC One M8 w/ WP8. something [00:08] k1l, i believe so [00:08] Finetundra_: if you have MTP you should be fine, but from what I see the 7.x line does not have mtp [00:08] http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/usb-mtp-mode-on-windows-phone-78/db87e8a4-90e8-499f-ae60-e5960f62b474 [00:08] Finetundra_: ubuntu works with mtp. make sure the phone provides that [00:08] jmadero: Have you tried mounting the iso from the command line to see if that works? [00:09] Well, upgrading ubuntu didn't make any difference in the skype package. Still seem stuck with an older version, and it tells me "no upgrades are available" when i click check for upgrades in the program. [00:09] or a usb mount option like the old androids [00:09] jsheldon: that just means the repository isn't updated, just install the .deb from skype website [00:09] k1l, it is mounted, however when i try to access the files i get an error [00:09] jmadero: I've never used the program you're talking about but it's possible it could be doing something weird that's messing up the mount. Permissions come to mind - it may have permission to make the directory but not permission to mount [00:09] which is now owned by microsoft so you can laugh at the irony every time you use it ;) [00:09] Something they did on the server side of skype in the past week seems to have broken multi-user chats. [00:09] Finetundra_: ........ [00:09] what error? [00:10] Striking7: gah I'm an idiot, permissions made it click haha I'm going to try to chmod it first :) [00:10] you had been here often enough to know that the more info you give the better support there is [00:10] Which happens to be one of the main things i have to use for work [00:10] k1l, "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Storage": libmtp error: could not get object handles." [00:10] Is there any way to suggest that a package in the ubuntu repositories be upgraded? [00:10] Hey folks, what is the channel for app devs? [00:10] k1l, which equates to no files shown === Metacity is now known as ChewToyOfFailvil [00:12] Finetundra_: some windows phones need to disable the touchscreen pattern lock [00:12] k1l, i have unlocked it === ChewToyOfFailvil is now known as Metacity [00:13] what ubuntu is it exactly? what phone? [00:13] jmadero; [00:13] k1l, 14.04. HTC [00:14] k1l, Titan II w/ WP7.8 [00:14] jmadero: i tried to install the .deb from the skype website and it gave an error message. [00:14] jsheldon: best to paste in pastebin or some similar service what exact errors [00:14] I remember some dependency issues that I just had to track down a few packages [00:15] Striking7: for command to mount img mount RaspMain.img /data/temp -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop [00:15] i was using the ubuntu software center like it said to on the skype website [00:15] I get an error saying /dev/loop not found [00:15] so it wasn't anything too detailed [00:15] jsheldon: I purged skype completely and installed from debian package [00:15] hi all...What app do you recommend that would let me have multiple tabs for the terminal ? Thanks [00:15] jmadero: BEcause /dev/loop does not exist. [00:15] and installed from terminal so I saw dependency issues [00:16] jmadero: it just says "conflicts with installed package skype-bin:i386 [00:16] It is a horribly wrong command. [00:16] bekks: found on manpages.ubuntu....might correcting it for me? [00:16] jsheldon: purge skype first [00:16] oh [00:16] i wanted to find a way to upgrade it though [00:16] jsheldon: then install from terminal sudo apt-get dpkg -i *skype* [00:16] not erase everything i already had [00:16] jsheldon: it won't erase anything [00:17] your configurations are separate from the software [00:17] jmadero: mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk [00:17] jmadero: I never really bother with the /dev/loop part. I usually just say mount -o loop blah.iso mount_point [00:17] jmadero: as root [00:17] i was surprised there was no PPA for this [00:17] I hate using .DEB files, they never quite work right [00:17] thanks! [00:18] !skype | jsheldon [00:18] jsheldon: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [00:18] jsheldon: why would you be surprised? Microsoft owns it [00:18] jsheldon: they have no interest in making a ppa [00:18] yeah [00:18] I'm shocked it even exists on linux still [00:18] jmadero: sure thing. I know there's a plugin for nautilus that should mount isos [00:18] I suspect give it a year or so and it'll be gone [00:18] unfortunately i don't get a say as to what a 600-employee company uses [00:18] sure - just be prepared to have things out of your control [00:18] if i had my druthers we'd all be running linux and using XMPP for isntant messaging [00:18] including the day that EOL is reached on Linux [00:19] which I would bet on [00:19] well, i plan to only be at this job another year [00:19] lol fair enough [00:19] (I use skype also btw) [00:19] never found a reasonable alternative in open source world [00:19] if anything, though, isn't linux only becoming more popular? [00:19] not less so? [00:19] fanboys (including myself) would like to think so [00:19] but I doubt it [00:19] in the grand scheme of things [00:20] going from 1% to 1.05% isn't going to do much [00:20] jmadero: the popularity is not a support issue ;) [00:20] linux is taking over...hide your wife, hide your kids [00:20] and on our side we can say "that's a 5% increase!" [00:20] bekks: I disagree actually - I think support is a major thing missing [00:20] working with LibreOffice has proven that to me [00:20] my company just went from IBM AIX to Redhat Linux [00:20] but we're all free to have different opinions [00:20] !ot [00:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:21] jmadero: In here, you are in an Ubuntu support channel. Not in a statistics / pool fan channel ;) [00:21] * jsheldon giggles [00:21] *poll [00:21] this channel is strictly ubuntu support, lets return to that [00:21] ...no clue what that means, but that's fine [00:21] yea lets talk ubuntu...can you please tell me a nice terminal client for ubuntu that would let me have all terminals as tabs...my fingers are going to die from alt-tab [00:22] blackmatrix_ny: terminal, e.g. [00:22] jmadero: i think they're saying that we're getting too much into the mathematics and veering off the topic of ubuntu. [00:22] gotcha [00:24] Finetundra_: tried gmtp? [00:24] k1l, yep [00:24] Finetundra_: and again: seems like you need to remove the unlock pattern, so its disabled [00:24] Any ideas on fixing a BADSIG error whilst running apt-get update? Ive tried pretty well everything and I still get it... [00:24] jsheldon: when Microsoft was abandoning MSN for Skype I got my company of 100ish to switch over to a local XMPP server [00:25] It creeped them out that their data could be so easily at the mercy of an outside force that doesn't give a flying crap about their privacy or needs [00:25] So it was an easy sell at the time :) [00:25] bekks, I use the gnome terminal and it doesn't list all my open terminals as tabs [00:26] Tinkerlad: Pastebin the full output please, so we are able to help you instead answering a poll :) [00:26] you guys are awesome - my Pi is back to life thanks to that mount [00:26] :) [00:26] blackmatrix_ny: Which is user fail, actually, since you did not create all terms as tabsm but as separate windows. [00:26] k1l, well, that sorta worked. was hoping to get a bit more than just media. guess i should be greatful though. thanks man. [00:26] had lost all my scripts (which were all in the image file that I didn't want to have to do more than mount and then walk away) [00:27] bekks, I cant get a pastebin as I cant install openssh-server to use putty? Ill get a photo. one sec [00:27] jmadero: Lost scripts mean they had no value, since there where no backups ;) [00:27] * Striking7 high fives jmadero [00:27] lol the backup was the image [00:27] duh ;) [00:28] okay, well, the upgrade to -1 didn't make any difference [00:28] still having the same trouble [00:28] i guess it's time to report the problem to microsoft [00:28] * jsheldon_ sighs [00:28] good luck getting no where with that (no offense, but that is a doomed effort) [00:28] I ONCE reported a issue with Access to MS [00:28] jmadero: Then the source was still intact so you did not need tha backup. If not, your backup stragety is failing hard. [00:28] bekks, how do you create as tabsm ? [00:28] one single time - they basically were like "this will never be fixed" [00:28] blackmatrix_ny: Whats a "tabsm"? [00:28] hey, at least with no group chats it will be nice and quiet during the workday ;) [00:28] i will enjoy my peace and quiet :D [00:28] bekks: the backup was done last week but I had a separate issue on the pi [00:29] jmadero: I'm going to be making a small distro that's intended to set up an automated tor node soon. Would you be so kind as to give me your IM info so you can test it on your pi when I get it ready? [00:29] so I started from scratch but needed those scripts [00:29] jmadero: thanks for the help. :) [00:29] jmadero: See above :) [00:29] it was crazy, my nfs started acting up (out of nowhere, literally....) [00:29] bekks, you mentioned tabsm " Which is user fail, actually, since you did not create all terms as tabsm but as separate windows. since you did not create all terms as tabsm but as separate windows." [00:30] Striking7: you can find me in #libreoffice-qa any time ;) (probably off topic again so I'll not go down that path beyond saying that) [00:30] blackmatrix_ny: What does "tabsm" mean? [00:30] Tinkerlad: In tough cases, might try -> sudo apt-key update <-, see if that gives any additional hints . [00:30] blackmatrix_ny: From what you are writing, I am forced to think that "tabsm" are different from "tabs"? [00:31] bekks, I'm confused...So it's possible to have multiple tabs on gnome terminal ? [00:31] blackmatrix_ny: Yes. [00:31] bekks, imgur.com/tv82JwX [00:31] bekks, Can you please tell me how ? [00:33] Tinkerlad, i see failed to fetch cd-rom... disable this one first [00:34] Yeah, that was originally disabled, I reenabled it to try and get openssh-server off the cd, didnt work. But with disabled, same error [00:34] jmadero: K, thanks. [00:35] I really need someones help [00:35] blackmatrix_ny: ctrl+shift+t [00:35] Bashing-om, I tried that and it says it processed 4 keys but didnt update any [00:35] I can't get Rhythmbox to import all of music === russell is now known as Guest14725 [00:35] It only imported like...16 tracks [00:35] k1l_, Thank you [00:36] I can't seem to remember what I did in the past to fix it, to import all of my music. [00:36] blackmatrix_ny: or just see in the menu of that program [00:36] Tinkerlad, i think your keys are oke, but lists are damaged, try: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:37] OerHeks, Same result [00:37] Someone? [00:38] Tinkerlad, then report a bug about that server, i guess :-( [00:39] *mirror [00:39] Tinkerlad: Not to belabor the obvious, you have done -> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 <- ? [00:39] Bashing-om, I have, it didnt seem to change anything with the keys... [00:40] Someone's help please? [00:41] Guest14725: ...please state your problem [00:41] oh sorry it's up there, one moment [00:41] Guest14725: You haven't given us much info to go off of here. What only imported 16 tracks? From what? [00:41] please instead be patient ;) [00:41] indeed, what types of files [00:41] what software importing into [00:41] Rhytmbox only imported 16 tracks. [00:42] From my Music folder. [00:42] From what? An iPod? Another machine? [00:42] Aha. K [00:42] hm - I don't use rhythmbox sorry [00:42] And, I have over 1200 tracks. [00:42] clementine for me :) [00:42] OerHeks, Its the au mirror. Is there an easy way I can change it or do I have to manually edit the sources [00:42] Guest14725: It could be that your music is in a format Rhythmbox doesn't have a plugin for [00:42] Not a problem. We can just install the right codec [00:42] They're in mp3s, and some are in wma [00:43] Guest14725: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:43] probably get everything you need [00:43] I already have that installed [00:43] Tinkerlad: Maybe try as : gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 40976EAF437D05B5 , gpg --export --armor 40976EAF437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - ... Which adds the key to apt trusted keys. [00:43] But, I can try restarting [00:43] that won't help [00:43] Guest14725: can you see anything different about the 16 tracks that did import? [00:43] Tinkerlad, sure, softwarecenter > edit > sources, you'll find a fastest mirror/choose your own mirror there [00:43] Are they also Mp3's? Are they in a different directory? [00:44] The 16 tracks are in .wav and .ogg [00:44] Also make sure that you're looking at the right view within Rhythmbox [00:44] yup it's definitely codec then....weird ubuntu-restricted-extras should have delt with that [00:44] Aha. So it could be that you don't have the mp3 codec installed. [00:44] yup [00:44] Did you shut rhythmbox down and restart it? [00:44] You won't need to restart your computer, just that program possibly [00:45] not sure that is necessary, but it's worth a shot [00:45] Mhm, it's shut down, and I restarted it [00:45] possibly purging restricted-extras and then reinstalling also... [00:45] K. Tryinstalling libgstreamer-plugins-bad [00:46] and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly [00:46] gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly too [00:46] I just tried that via Terminal, and it says it can't locate it, the libgstreamer [00:46] can't hurt [00:46] pop open synaptic and check in there. [00:47] sometimes a simple typo can mess it up when you're trying to install packages from the terminal [00:47] Let me give that a go, and I'll let you know [00:47] OerHeks, Im on a server :/ [00:47] how do i remove everything kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-active installed ? [00:48] MichaelP: if you didn't make a note of what it installed, it is not so easy [00:48] Bashing-om, With that command I get "gpg: can't open `' : No such file or directory === iris is now known as Guest51929 [00:50] Well, from what it looks like in Synaptics, all of those ones are installed already... [00:51] hi [00:52] Ben64, I thought ubuntu supose to be the easy distro.... [00:52] I really want to love Ubuntu - but I always have this resize windows issue - where the borders are 0.04pixels wide and grabbing it is hard :( [00:52] I've read a few pages but I can't seem to find the right setting [00:52] I remember in my last Ubuntu 10 (before Unity) [00:52] If I really, really have to, I'll just do a fresh install to get this blasted thing to work. That's a last option though. [00:53] I found some where where I could change the width of the window borders [00:53] anyone have an idea of where that is in Unity? [00:53] I thought Window Snapping or "Hot Corners" were what I wanted... but also no joy [00:54] PS - is there an "Ubuntu_help" channel that I should be asking this question in? :) [00:54] java 8 [00:56] Tinkerlad: Maybe the process is changed since ? We can try to delete the key and re-install it . I can work up a paste of the procedure. [00:57] MichaelP, try this link see the remove kubuntu line [00:57] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [00:58] Striking7 : I looked, nothing seems any different, and I don't know what else I can do. If I really, really have to, I'll just do a fresh install of Ubuntu... [00:59] Guest14725: I just had an emergency and I have to jet - may have ruined a DB. See if Rhythmbox has a "refresh library" type option [01:00] Audacious is good [01:00] Sure thing, thanks anyways [01:11] ubuntu14_04LTS: http://askubuntu.com/questions/455677/how-to-edit-the-color-of-the-title-bar-and-border-width-of-a-gtk3-theme (or similar via google) haven't as of yet tried it but will at a later date because I too get frustrated with the window border widths. ;-) [01:16] What order are run level scripts ran?

[01:52] i see those two questions as comparable === shroud is now known as Guest60818 [01:57] I'm having a Utopic install problem that's killing me. Asus P6T mobo, installing desktop from a USB image. [01:58] Doing an expert install, CD-ROM installation is reported as successful. [01:58] For the next step, "load the debconf preconfiguration file", it hangs. [01:58] Spy your Whatsapp contacts in http://www.checkwhatsapp.com [01:59] !spam [01:59] Please don't spam [01:59] Console reports "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0" [01:59] And "floppy: error -5 while reading block 0" [01:59] OMG alt-tab allows me to switch between applications -- until I use windows-d to view the desktop -- then I cannot switch between the already open applications with alt-tab BUT I can create more applications and switch between them -- until I use windows-d again in which case those are lost too. What is going on here? [02:00] Looking in a console, /cdrom indeed mounted. [02:00] papachan, We would know no more than you can discover, not a real popular desktop in ubuntu, here anyway. [02:02] zenoli: that's... not a desktop image, sounds more like mini.iso [02:02] daftykins: hm. [02:02] what did you download? [02:02] zenoli: heh it's attempting to read from a floppy disk. [02:03] Image is ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso [02:03] anyone else just get spam from ashleee22? [02:03] Got the same results with the server ISO, which is what I actually want to install. [02:03] TheNet: yeah please report in #ubuntu-ops [02:03] TheNet, Show it to the #ubuntu-ops [02:03] Both downloaded via torrent. [02:04] zenoli: ok i don't think expert install is what you're after, just "install" with server should give the text mode installer. [02:04] At the very start of the boot, the image reports "missing parameter in a configuration file: Keyword: path" and "gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image" [02:04] daftykins: Indeed. Only doing the expert install so I could figure out exactly where the install was failing. [02:05] Setting the USB mass store device to register as a floppy drive doesn't work, can't even get the USB to boot. [02:05] i think your images or (most likely) your flash drive makings have failed [02:05] daftykins: Both of them? In exactly the same way? [02:06] I did use usb-creator-gtk instead of the usual dd. [02:06] zenoli: i highly doubt they're both doing the same funky thing, though i don't even recall an 'expert mode' on desktop ISOs [02:06] And two separate USB drives, in case something was wrong with one of them. [02:06] <3 dd [02:07] daftykins: On one of the boots, the text-mode menu came up, which listed 'expert' as something to potentially enter at the boot prompt. [02:07] ah not encountered that one [02:07] I last installed Ubuntu on this mobo about four years ago, but can't recall if I had to jump through any weird hoops to make it work. [02:08] zenoli: if you're after a server, why aren't you picking LTS? (14.04) [02:09] But, I probably installed it via an actual CD at that point. Just installed the mobo in a new case, no actual DVD drive. [02:10] Checking [02:10] how can i figure out which graphic card my computer has? [02:10] What is going on? wmctrl enables me to bring a window to the front but the application isn't shown with alt-tab? [02:10] daftykins: Headless home server, going to mostly be used for media and act as an SSH bounce server. I was hoping to avoid majorly old software versions relative to my desktop. [02:11] Hi! Can someone help me install the latest version of ffmpeg on Ubuntu 13.03? [02:11] bubbasaures which desktop recommend you? i love cinnamon becasue its light [02:11] Is there some pay-support for ubuntu that won't give me answers like "reinstall"? [02:11] angel: lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga ; will do that nicely. [02:11] zenoli: thing is you'll be stuck in upgrade land though ;) [02:12] angel: open the terminal and run "lspci" [02:12] angel: paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com to share it with us [02:12] Bashing-om, daftykins http://pastie.org/9757221 thanks. now how do i install the drivers? [02:12] daftykins: My old server that just died was running Debian. I suppose that would be where I would go if I really wanted stable versions. [02:13] papachan, I have checked out cinnamon, seems nice, really use what you like. Here we are users like you so we don't have any release info in general that is an extra. [02:13] Upgrading the server is a heck of a lot less annoying than upgrading the desktop. [02:14] angel: there are none available for you as your hardware is too old [02:14] A friend is trying to persuade me to go back to Gentoo...deb-based upgrades are soothing by comparison. [02:14] papachan, There is a ppa for cinnamon, but we don't have support here for ppa's..3rd party in general is all. [02:14] daftykins, ohhh [02:15] zenoli: fair enough, i personally find non-LTS a mistake :) [02:16] OK. I didn't fix the problem but at least I won't lose any work. The following brings all the windows to the front so that I can close them "for w in `wmctrl -l | cut -d' ' -f1`; do wmctrl -i -a $w ; done" I still need to know how to diagnose alt-tab "losing" windows when I use super-d to access the Desktop [02:16] bubbasaures but my problem is: after upgrading to 14.04.1 i have no more ppa available for cinammon [02:16] it have removed all my cinnamon core [02:16] daftykins: You're not wrong. [02:16] angel: daftykins :: checking as from this: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci/1002%3A9616/ . that card does (did ?) have certification. [02:16] Where do I look to figure out what is going wrong with the window switcher? (this is 14.04) [02:17] Sorry... 14.04.1 LTS if it matters. [02:17] Bashing-om, thanks but what does that mean? [02:17] Bashing-om: anything Radeon 4xxx and below got switched to legacy status, so no fglrx with anything newer than 12.04.1 [02:17] papachan, Not supported here but you have this, I have not looked at what version is in this ppa or the ubuntu repos is all. https://launchpad.net/~gwendal-lebihan-dev/+archive/ubuntu/cinnamon-nightly [02:18] angel: it doesn't change anything unfortunately, your onboard graphics will be using the open source driver and that's the only choice [02:18] daftykins, ok how do i install that driver? [02:19] papachan, Yeah cinnamon is not supported from the ubuntu repos in Trusty, it's in utopic however. [02:19] angel: it already will be using it. [02:19] hi all [02:19] daftykins, i have a very poor resolution just 1024px. then it will stay that way? [02:20] angel: possibly. what version do you have installed? [02:20] papachan, I had forgotten it was not in the 14.04 release, it has appeared and disappeared at time due to stability is all. [02:20] daftykins, version of what? [02:20] bubbasaures, oh thank you so much, you give a me great information [02:20] angel: ubuntu [02:21] daftykins: Yeah // but this card " Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATIRS780L [Radeon 3000]" -- not an HDxX series -- card -> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/category/VIDEO/ . also shows it as cerified. I do welcome a correction to my thinking. [02:21] papachan, No problem, I was trying to give you what would help. ;) [02:21] daftykins, 14.04 [02:22] Ubuntu One is no longer. How do I get Ubuntu One "off" of my computer? [02:22] cornell, You can just have it off, it has dependencies I would just leave it. [02:23] Bashing-om: yeah being non-HD makes it even worse i think. i don't have a clue what certification involves === Guest90282 is now known as TURK [02:23] angel: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [02:23] I have it in "Places" and I get notices that it's no longer available... I should just ignore it, because of dependency problems, bubbasaures? [02:24] cornell: "cat /etc/issue" ? [02:25] daftykins: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l [02:25] daftykins: angel ::You are correct, per other sources also, that card is legacy, and no longer has proprietary driver support . End of story . [02:25] ah ok still supported [02:26] Bashing-om: ty for confirming :) i hadn't remembered the 'HD' prefix so it was definitely worth checking [02:27] cornell, I would just turn it off in startup applications. [02:27] you might have to populate that list, if so I have a command [02:28] daftykins, Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/9351854/ [02:28] daftykins: :) I just recalled the legacy status as " HD 2x/3x/4x-series chipsets. " .. Sorry to cause a bother. [02:28] loading chromium is crashing X for me, can anyone help? [02:28] bubbasaures: I don't have it in Applications / System Tools / Preferences / Startup Applications [02:29] angel: ah you have "nomodeset" in your boot parameters. did you need that to boot successfully to even install? [02:29] Bashing-om: not at all - you are most welcome :) [02:29] cornell, Type it in the dash [02:30] Sorry, bubbasaures, I don't understand "Type it in the dash" [02:30] daftykins, no idea, i just installed it, i don't remember altering any param. [02:30] bubbasaures: i don't think cornell is using unity [02:30] angel: ok follow this guide to see if 14.04 boots without nomodeset [02:31] Correct daftykins. [02:31] !nomodeset | angel try the opposite of this (removing it) [02:31] angel try the opposite of this (removing it): A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:31] cornell, THe unity desktop search top button left panel, or hit the windows key to bring it up. [02:31] I'm not using the Unity desktop, bubbasaures [02:31] daftykins, I think you're right but just playing along till we get there. [02:32] heh [02:32] the clue before was the "applications" menu ;) [02:32] cornell, Well maybe we need to know what you are using ehh. [02:32] must be ol' unity-2d or whatever the thing is that gives the old gnome2x desktop [02:32] gnome, I think 2. [02:32] daftykins, I saw it but one never knows here, you know with all the "expert modes". [02:33] *nod* :) [02:33] cornell, You on the fallback gnome desktop? [02:35] daftykins, /etc/default/grub doesn't contain that param so i can't remove it [02:36] I don't always know which versions, or how to find them... in synaptic, I have gnome-desktop3-data [02:36] Is that, is there a, gnome 3? [02:36] cornell, There is no supported gnome 2 desktop, mate might be, not sure it's a fork. Must be the fallback, however there should be a startup applications in the app menu if this is ubuntu. [02:38] angel: i wouldn't do it by file, i would do it by one-time menu boot. so hold left shift at boot time, go to advanced options then highlight the newest kernel without "rescue" beside it, then press 'e' on it to edit and delete 'nomodeset' [02:38] bubbasaures: there is: Applications / System Tools / Preferences / Startup Applications. And it doesn't list Ubuntu One. It's got Dropbox, Psensor and Visual Assistance. [02:38] angel: if it doesn't boot successfully, likely you're out of luck and that hardware is just too old with that onboard graphics. you'd need to get a supported graphics card in there [02:39] ok let me try [02:39] cornell, Run this command and see if the list is populated. sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [02:40] bubbasaures: Recon -> apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop <- would relate the DE in use here for cornell ?? [02:40] bubbasaures: other than asking for password, no response [02:41] cornell, Did you close the app than open it again. [02:41] Which application bubbasaures? [02:41] How do I do an installed packages template dump? [02:42] cornell, startup applications [02:42] Whoa. [02:42] There's a bunch of stuff in it now. [02:42] from the command line [02:42] Including Ubuntu One :-) [02:43] cornell, Yep, in 12.04 that was hidden, what was there were the 3rd party apps you added and their startup cammand set by them. [02:44] So it seems, bubbasaures. That command changed the population of the Startup Applications. While it was open. It just wasn't on top, so I didn't notice it before. [02:44] So I just remove it? [02:44] hello all [02:44] 'lo soph [02:44] cornell, I thought it did, just wasn't sure. [02:44] i just heard SR person arrested on NPR [02:45] cornell, No untick the check box [02:45] unfortunate [02:45] Ah... so it's still there, just not launched, cool. Thanks bubbasaures [02:46] cornell, Yeah, you have it, not sure how to kill it now but it should not start on a restart. [02:46] acmehandle: maybe like: dpkg --get-selections will dump a list of all packages you have installed, so you can use dpkg --set-selections to reinstall them all later. ?? [02:46] Ah, the sed changed NoDisplay from true to false. So from now on, the Startup Applications will show all. Cool. [02:47] it's all in the .config heh [02:47] Yes, looks good. Thank you [02:47] I've been using Linux since Mandriva was called Mandrake. Unfortunately, I don't get to spend enough time in the nitty-gritty to learn, and keep, enough [02:50] acmehandle: Might want to keep a file of the packages or for use of -> dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages <- . [02:50] Thank you much, bubbasaures and daftykins [02:51] *tips hat* === Rob3rto is now known as febrian [03:02] hi guys!

[03:18] Im using this sed line to replace line 16 of 1.txt - My issue is, the text i need to insert is a folder path like /this/path - but the slashes mess up the sed command, I tried escaping the /'s like /\ but it still errors out, Any ideas? Basically on like 17 of this file, is a folder path, and i need to update that path with the sed command [03:20] DrRodneyMckay, #sed [03:21] Thanks, I think i just worked it out - needs to be sed -i '' '17s|.*|/Folder/Path/|' 1.txt [03:21] Yep that did it, Sorry for the hassle and wrong channel [03:47] Is it possible to make an exact usb back up of my server drive(local in my office) that I can boot and restore from? (Kinda the basic start iso) [03:47] !clone | Malgorath [03:47] Malgorath: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [03:48] cfhowlett: thanks [03:48] Malgorath, happy2help [03:53] msg /hello [03:54] I was wondering if any one has ised how to resize root partition on first boot after dd. I created a script that I need to test but not sure how to run it before root / is mounted. What is the best way doing it? [03:58] exit [03:59] Guma: Using LVM? Is / the last partition on the drive? Can you run "fdisk -l" for us? [03:59] rypervenche. No lvm [03:59] one sec [04:00] Guma: Also, are you trying to expand or shrink? [04:00] rypervenche /dev/mmcblk0p2 is last partition. ext3 for root on SD Card [04:01] Guma: What kind of device is this? [04:02] expand to remining free space. Trying to make small *.img so can be dd to what ever card. Then on first boot it will resize to use entire. So youser does not have to do this. [04:02] This is ARM board with uSD Card [04:03] rypervenche : imx6qsabrelite [04:03] Guma: So normally you would rewrite your partition table to have the second partition go to the end of the SD card, then reboot (if running live), then run resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 [04:03] Guma: And to rewrite your partition table, you'll need to delete the p2 partition, then recreate it using the SAME beginning sector and then the last available sector. [04:06] That is what I am trying to do. I created a script that removes itself on after successful run. Not I need to place it on SD card and dd again from sd card to img file. So not when I dd this file back to any sd card on first boot this script will auto run and resize then remove itself so on next reboot it will not be run. [04:07] rypervenche I think there was something like runonce file [04:07] Guma: Well, it would need to run, then run a second time once the thing is booted back up. [04:07] I'm running Ubuntu on a late 2008 macbook. wifi is BCM4322. it supports 5GHz wifi afaik, but I haven't been able to successfully connect to my 5 GHz network. any idea why? [04:08] it works fine with 2.4GHz [04:08] it might be a range issue, not sure... but my newer mac connects to the 5GHz network fine in the same location. [04:09] ningu: broadcom are terrible under Linux, their driver likely only supports the 2.4GHz [04:09] ah, ok [04:09] rypervenche. Well I was thinking that I will need to do reboot between fdisk and resize2fs . I was not sure if I could do this in single shot. [04:09] daftykins: too bad. I like running Ubuntu on this. I'll survive, though. [04:09] Guma: Not unless you do it from a live session. [04:10] I have my keyboard to english, but my keyboard ir european. how can I change the settings? [04:11] rypervenche I did read that raspberry pi image file does such trick. So it is possible if others are doing it. Would you agree? [04:11] VelhoP4, system > settings > language support > apply system wide [04:12] I seemed to have messed up unity menu on start up I'm just getting the blank wallpaper no menus and ctrl alt t not opening terminal kinda stuck [04:13] All I can do is right click and get the new folder menu lol [04:13] Guma: They do things differently. They have tools that can make that happen for you. You would hae to do some searching to see if your device has such a tool. [04:19] cfhowlett, thanks! [04:19] VelhoP4, happy2help [04:22] Hi I am installing ubuntu [04:23] On an ssd, does the installer automatically align the partitions to a 4 k drive? [04:23] By 4k I mean sector size [04:25] Hi, how do I determine whether my wireless card supports 802.11n or 802.11ac? Is there a line I can run in CLI? [04:26] rodney77: sudo iwconfig [04:27] rypervenche, I see it [04:27] IEEE 802.11bgn [04:27] so that answers my question. n support, no ac [04:27] rodney77: No AC then. [04:28] thanks so much rypervenche. one more thing, slightly off topic: I like running Tomato because it's linux based, so if anyone recommends a good wireless n router that will run tomato, please let me know [04:29] rodney77: Tomato has a specific list of routers that are supported. Check their website. I personally use OpenWRT on a Buffalo router that I love. [04:29] thanks rypervenche, I have never used openwrt. I will check it out. What's the buffalo router you love? [04:30] So Flash is currently broken on 14.04. Are you guys aware of that? [04:31] rodney77: They don't make the kind I use anymore, but they have an upgraded version out. This is the one I have: http://ryp.io/4C [04:31] rodney77: Basically, the ones that have DD-WRT pre-installed on them are the ones I get.

[04:36] I did an update today, it included flashplugin-installer. I didn't use any flash-based sites. [04:36] It broke with an update. [04:36] TiZ, ! havent' had that experience with ubuntustudio. [04:37] If I install an older deb, will it try to install the older flash?

I get brought up to a login screen with a username and password [05:04] MrSavage, I would check the sum of the iso and if you can the usb [05:04] this is like an omen lol [05:04] the sum?

Never researched it, since it always happens when my PC is down :-). Just reached for the dvd burner. [05:07] bubbasaures: how do i know if it's a uefi computer? [05:07] bbryant, I know them pretty well so I just confirm here, http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu&search=wifi&order=name%20ASC&page=0 [05:07] !ubottu | bbryant [05:07] bbryant: Hi!

[05:07] thank you Ben64 and bubbasaures [05:08] bubbasaures: i got everything brand new in the summer. i see uefi and legaccy in my bios [05:08] !uefi | MrSavage you should be aware of this [05:08] MrSavage you should be aware of this: 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 [05:09] So if you don't need to dual boot with windows, can't MrSavage just select legacy and not worry about it? [05:10] UEFI is a windows thing? [05:10] I can set it to legacy [05:10] MrSavage, Do you have windows still and want it to boot? [05:10] no [05:10] no UEFI is a cross platform thing [05:10] i mean I have windows 7 but i'm formating into ubuntu [05:10] oh [05:11] I might need windows for some games [05:12] MrSavage, UEFI is not an area I'm really up on so others here will be better. [05:12] I think Firefox 34 might actually have broken Flash. Where could I get an old version? [05:14] hey whats up [05:15] anyone know how to install binaries on ubuntu ? [05:15] canonical: you're going to have to give more details [05:16] yes i only have the binaries files and i wanna built it into a deb pakege [05:17] you mean source? [05:18] yeah [05:18] bubbasaures: I think I had 2 errors on my ISO. And the MD5 is 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f096553fbd [05:18] is that ok? [05:18] what do you mean 2 errors? [05:19] I did the check errors option and it came with 2 errors [05:19] canonical: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/#AEN131 [05:19] when chosing between try, install, check errors [05:19] hey i canot install the linux 14.04 lts [05:19] its give error gpu lockuo === saikrishna is now known as anhsirk [05:20] thank's men [05:20] MrSavage, You want the sum to read perfect and n o errors in the disk test. [05:20] ok [05:20] try in verbose mode [05:21] MrSavage: I thought you were talking about from md5sum [05:21] do i need persistent file size for storing changes? [05:22] I mean, file size not being persistent isn't going to ever be a good thing [05:22] Also should i stick with stock ubuntu? I don't want to use unity [05:22] but I doubt that's what you meant [05:22] MrSavage: if you don't want to use unity, you could do a few things [05:23] as a matter of personal opinion, if I was doing that, I'd use ubuntu-server [05:23] and build up from that [05:23] i'm using this ubuntu for gaming === knightshade2 is now known as knightshade [05:23] so not unity, what do you want? [05:23] what are my options? I only know of xfce and gnome [05:24] kde [05:24] a friend told me unity sucks [05:24] and some other smaller ones [05:24] why wont you try ubuntu mate remix [05:24] huh? [05:24] well, don't let friends make all your decisions for you [05:24] I'd at least try it first [05:24] MrSavage, kde,xfce,gnome,openbox,mate, & many many more [05:24] i jump of bridges all the time [05:24] i have never been a fan of Unity before really ... but in 14.10 i have to say i like it [05:24] I don't even know what are the differences [05:24] MrSavage, but try Unity first [05:25] xmetal: I've used it since it was released [05:25] never really had any complaints [05:25] before that I was a die hard gnome [05:25] does unity have support for workspaces being seperated on each monitor in a multi monitor setup? [05:25] yes [05:25] I've used that before [05:25] unity needs more memory than anothers panels [05:26] MrSavage, yes [05:26] i like most DE's really .. though i do have my favorites [05:26] canonical: how much memory? [05:27] MrSavage, with xchat and rythmbox going right now im using 649MB of RAM. [05:27] CONFIRMED: Firefox 34 broke Flash. Downgrading to 33 fixed it for me. [05:27] If it's a gaming machine, the tiny amount of memory used by the DE should be negligible. MrSavage, I assume your machine is cherried out? [05:27] ffs, my usb ubuntu keeps booting into a login screen [05:27] I WANT TO INSTALL DAMNIT [05:27] Cassandro: yes [05:27] relax and don't use even acronym form language here please [05:27] should i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS? [05:27] not sure what lts is [05:28] long term support [05:28] !lts [05:28] 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) [05:28] MrSavage, when you load a browser you get to about 1.2, 1.3gb [05:28] yes depending the arquitecture you have [05:28] canonical: architecture [05:28] in my case 64 bits the conseume of memory is high [05:29] so how an i get this install to work properly? [05:29] 32 bit gaming? It is to laugh. Install from DVD instead. [05:29] MrSavage: what version of ubuntu? [05:29] ubuntu 14.04 LTS [05:29] MrSavage: I prefer 12.04.4 for rock solid stability. [05:30] MrSavage: what was your hash again? [05:30] I checked it matched [05:30] daftykins, i heard someone say earlier systemd was getting completely implemented in 14.04lts within a few months is this accurate? [05:30] ok [05:30] not a clue [05:30] I did a check errors on disk on my USB again and it says check finished: erors found in 2 files [05:30] what is up?

[05:35] hi all. i m trying to install xubuntu 14.04.1 through usb stick on my brand new laptop HEWLETT PACKARD 14-r107nv N2840/4GB/1TB - (K5E35EA) with win 8.1 pre-installed. i would like to completely remove win8.1 (after i took a full manufacturer restore backup) and run xubuntu as the only OS on my laptop. do i have to pay any special attention or can i proeceed with the "erase the whole disk" option? whta about "efi" partition? will xubuntu 64bit cr [05:35] eate a new one during installation? and how can i have access to system bios after the installation? i read a lot of documantation but i am still confused. i am running 14.04 on 3 older machines and is the 1st time i try to install it on a newer one. any help pls? [05:35] bbryant: it asks me for the user [05:35] is this a graphical prompt [05:35] or a terminal [05:36] bbryant: graphical [05:36] akis: just disable secureboot and install xubuntu [05:36] !uefi | akis place to start, the bios is before any OS.

[05:42] * lotuspsychje likes wiping a win8 uefi machine to ubuntu :p [05:43] lotuspsychje: that's good news! you mean it will hunde my laptop the way it does it on my older machines. simply a root and a home dir on a single partition (no swap activated)? and how can i access the notebook's bios? on older machines usually presses F10 OR F2 or del. i dont see any option for that now. only through win8.1. [05:44] akis: what brand is your laptop? [05:44] HEWLETT PACKARD 14-r107nv N2840/4GB/1TB - (K5E35EA) [05:45] akis: ESC or F10 should work [05:46] akis: if you really cant find it, to enter check the ##hardware guys [05:46] lotuspsychje: on that moment with win8.1 still on the system esc and f10 dont work. after ubuntu installation will work? [05:47] akis: like bubbasaures said, bios is before the Os ubuntu wont change the hotkeys [05:47] akis, You have to shut windows down not use the hybrid sleep/hibernate [05:48] Your manual should say [05:48] akis: first things first, find your way into bios/uefi [05:48] akis: then change uefi to legacy bios and disable secreboot [05:48] secureboot [05:49] lotuspsychje: yea. i read that. full shut down and then restart from usb. should i choose erase everything and proceed? all the rest will be done from ubuntu installation? [05:49] akis: if you want ubuntu on full hd, yes install will do that [05:50] lotuspsychje: and is for sure that everything of win8 will absolutely gone, isnt it? [05:50] akis: if you choose install on full hd, yes [05:51] akis: w8 + recovery partition will be wiped out [05:51] akis: whats the reason you choose xubuntu over ubuntu? [05:52] ok Im still having issues installing ubuntu [05:52] MrSavage: whats going on? [05:52] now the prompt is showing when i select install but it's turning the monitor on and off.... [05:52] lotuspsychje: when I select install from my usb install, it goes to a prompt [05:53] graphics driver issue maybe [05:53] MrSavage: how did you create your usb stick? [05:53] (my guess) [05:53] lotuspsychje: i used pendrive [05:53] MrSavage: what grafix card chip? [05:54] amd r9 200 series [05:54] MrSavage: ubuntu 14.04? [05:54] i'm not sure if it's because of some uefi bios setting [05:54] lotuspsychje: yes [05:54] MrSavage: what does prompt say? [05:55] lotuspsychje: it's just a graphical promp that asks for a username or password [05:55] thats real odd [05:55] is it a bios settings? [05:55] sounds like (?? my terminology) its loggin OUT of Live mode [05:56] yeah sounds like ubuntu prompt asking user/pass [05:56] in the command line [05:56] i have no idea what's going on :( [05:56] MrSavage: did you try livemode instead of install? [05:57] you mean the try option? [05:57] yes [05:57] i think lotus may have been onto something ... if possible try to make the usb with a different method (different program or the dd command) ... sometimes that may (** may ) help [05:57] lotuspsychje: should i select uefi or the non-uefi from my boot menu? [05:57] sometimes with certain distro's new releases certain methods work, others dont [05:58] (my experience) [05:58] MrSavage: if you want ubuntu on your machine, disable secureboot and switch to legacy bios [05:58] lotuspsychje: but then i can't have an sdd for windows? [05:58] i'm guessing [05:58] hi [05:58] MrSavage: you want dualboot? [05:59] in group "root" is it safe to put my administor user? [05:59] i guess not, huh [05:59] lotuspsychje: i'm guessing that's only needed if you partition? [05:59] lotuspsychje: i'm in try mode and i see a prompt for a username [05:59] lotuspsychje: i change the boot option to legacy one and secure boot is now disabled. now i can access bios through f10. so now after manufacturer restoration backup i can proceed with my ubuntu installation through usb stick device. isnt it? do i have to pay any other attention before that or during installation beyond the common things? [05:59] MrSavage: say first what you want, dualboot or singleboot? [06:00] i want to have an sdd for ubuntu and another sdd for windows [06:00] akis: yes, put eth cable in and install with updates enabled [06:00] MrSavage: thats gonna be a harder job then [06:00] why?

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [07:47] MrSavage: oi, that sounds weird [07:47] yes [07:47] I'M FED UP [07:47] lol [07:47] try linux lite [07:48] lubuntu?

If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [07:48] partake: don't suggest that here, it is not supported [07:49] lubuntu is awesome - [07:49] i dont have UEFI BIOS [07:49] I didn't like Lubuntu very much. Way too ugly [07:49] but I admit it was lightweight [07:49] LXQT [07:50] anselan: any ideas? [07:50] for lightweight installation systems (I make interactive installations) I prefer to install full Ubuntu and then use OpenBox for the desktop environment and run only the things I need [07:50] ok thanks for the info , guess we have to go for ltsp [07:50] MrSavage: what exactly does the UEFI "warning logo" say? [07:50] 1 gig of hard drive space is not much.. :P [07:50] anselan: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445119.png [07:50] anselan https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [07:51] MrSavage: I also get that screen when I install on my NUCs, but it doesn't actually cause me any trouble. After a second or two, it goes to the normal installer and then no problems from then on [07:51] anselan: mine goes into a live CD [07:52] why are people working on coreboot? [07:52] is it a fedora thing? [07:52] anselan: is try it supposed to bring you into a GUI with a username login? [07:53] MrSavage: no, usually after that it goes straight to the normal installer [07:53] .... [07:54] also i'm trying legacy again right now [07:54] MrSavage: is it possible that your Hard Drive is not being detected? [07:54] I have 4 HDDs, and 1 SDD [07:54] and the installer brought me into a gui login on my 2nd monitor instead of the primary [07:54] ASDFLAHJSDLFKHJ [07:55] well selecting the install option brought me there [07:56] hello people. I have followed instructions here http://www.maketecheasier.com/customize-the-gdm-sessions-list/ but inspite of that I am not seeing the changes in my sessions list [07:56] MrSavage: I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if maybe the installer sees no suitable HDDs to install to, so assumes you can "only" run in Live Mode [07:57] anselan: I tried disconnecting my 2nd monitor and it's a black screen on my only monitor now [07:57] when i click install [07:58] like backlight isn't coming on [07:58] well it's just a black screen [07:59] Can I talk about Ubuntu Touch here, or is that topic reserved for the ubuntu-touch channel only? [08:00] !touch | UbUntUToUchLover [08:00] UbUntUToUchLover: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [08:01] I knew that. I was just wondering if I can talk about it here. I'm not getting much help from the ubuntu-touch channel. [08:02] anselan: i got an installation prompt, i'm going somewhere now! [08:02] MrSavage: whoo hoo!! [08:03] anselan: who do i contact about the bug? [08:03] Somebody named nhaines was helping me, but he's a little preoccupied with a book. [08:04] MrSavage: I'm afraid I can't help you there... I think these types of things are very specific to different hardware. For example, with my NUC apparently a future BIOS update is going to fix the troubles with Ubuntu installation === Raa is now known as Raaa [08:06] i have a server ubuntu 12.04 with a degrated raid issue, but i dont know how to troubleshoot it , http://pastie.org/pastes/9757657/text and here a screenshot that aparently showed when the server booted : http://prntscr.com/5coa28 , the server works now , any ideea how to see whats the problem with it ? === Raaa is now known as Daaven [08:08] bubbasaures: hey [08:09] bubbasaures: i fixed my issue [08:09] I'll try again... Can I talk about Ubuntu Touch on this channel? Forgive me if I seem to be rude, but I'm also desperate. I have a Nook HD+ that I want to boot Ubuntu Touch, but the only image I've found is from a guy named "wesnoth", and it's very buggy. Any help will be greatly appreciated. [08:09] UbUntUToUchLover, ask in the touch channel, not here. [08:10] UbUntUToUchLover, note: the list of supported devices is short. if your device is not the on the list, support, if any, will be limited [08:10] :/ clang is stillll installing [08:11] Sorry, cfhowlett. Please try to understand. I've been working on this for months, and have gotten nowhere. Sorry for the inconvenience. [08:11] UbUntUToUchLover, not to worry. perhaps westnoth (sp?) can aid you? [08:11] hello [08:12] if my ubuntu system is suspended, will it eat up battery? [08:12] How do I get in touch with wesnoth? [08:12] UbUntUToUchLover, you said you got an image him, so I presume you can contact him as you did before? [08:13] bubbasaures: you there? === Paradisee_ is now known as Paradisee === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [08:14] UbUntUToUchLover, I might add: Nook has not made what you're attempting easy. you might be better off to take a less hacky and more sane approach: purchase a refurbished and supported device, e.g. Nexus 7? [08:16] cfhowlett. I'm sorry if I implied that I contacted wesnoth, because I don't think I did. I talked to somebody under the #wesnoth channel, but they have no idea about it. As for getting a different tablet, I really don't see a reason to. I currently am using Cyanogenmod on my Nook. [08:17] UbUntUToUchLover, noted. All I can do is wish you luck and hope you document your future success. [08:18] Yes, I agree that Barnes & Noble did not make it easy to install Ubuntu Touch; I had to install Cyanogenmod first. [08:18] Thanks anyway, cfhowlett. [08:21] how to install nvidia driver in xubuntu ? [08:22] !nvidia | ankita [08:22] ankita: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto === dts|pokeball is now known as dts [08:23] cfhowlett, yes [08:23] ankita, instructions are in the wiki - please read. [08:26] cfhowlett: its showing "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) [08:26] " [08:26] ankita, intel...INTEL. not nvidia. [08:26] but it should show nvidai [08:27] ankita, ehhhh, are you certain that's an nvidia card??? [08:27] cfhowlett: I bought my laptop with nvidia cars [08:27] *cards [08:27] cfhowlett: nvidia 820 geforce [08:28] ankita, and you verified that ... how? [08:28] bumblebee job [08:28] cfhowlett: in my packing it's written..and I am using nvidia 820 in windows [08:29] ankita: lspci | grep VGA [08:29] that only gives you the intel one? [08:30] EriC^^, how to get nvidia then [08:30] all video is lagging [08:31] in all players video quality is not good.screen blinks on high fps [08:32] ankita: please run `lspci | grep VGA` in a terminal and put the output you get on pastebin.com [08:33] http://pastebin.com/WEVwTeU0 [08:33] trijntje_, : "http://pastebin.com/WEVwTeU0" [08:34] ankita: is that everything you get as output? [08:34] trijntje_, : yeah === rahu__ is now known as RahulAN [08:34] in that case I dont think you have an nvdia card in that laptop [08:35] hi all. do i have to install xubuntu 14.04.1 in EFI mode on my brand new HEWLETT PACKARD 14-r107nv N2840/4GB/1TB - (K5E35EA) or can i proceed on the way we did on older pc's deleting the entire disk and the pre-installed win 8.1? [08:35] ankita: can you go to software & update -> Additional drivers to check if ubuntu can find any drivers for you? [08:36] trijntje_, : yes..it is here,My laptop has 1 sticker too of nvidia 820 === gian is now known as Guest81757 [08:36] trijntje_, : i checked that there is o any nvidia type driver showing [08:37] ankita: I dont understand what you mean, you made some typo's [08:39] trijntje_, : I tried to install nvidia..but I messed up there and did some wrong cmds [08:40] akis, pretty sure that lappy has EFI ... easy test: make a 64 bit boot USB. boot the lappy and hit the boot options. you should see efi available. [08:41] okey!! no problem guys..I will find it [08:42] ankita: its no use to isntall nvidia drivers since ubuntu thinks you dont have an nvidia card in your laptop [08:43] my video is lagging [08:43] I know that, but ubuntu thinks your pc does not have an nvidia card, so it wont use it even if you install it. First you have to figure out why lspci doesnt show it [08:44] ankita, you could also try the intel drivers. if those work ... [08:44] how can i do that ? [08:44] ankita, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads [08:44] cfhowlett: actually the laptop has an efi. i have already the 64 bit iso on hands on a usb. should i proceed with an entire disk delete as i dont need win8.1? [08:45] akis, ah, different question. if you *know* you don't need WIN ... nuke it form orbit. [08:45] *from* [08:47] cfhowlett, it shown a error Dependency is not satisfiable:ttf-ancient-fonts [08:48] in ubuntu software center [08:48] ankita, intel rejected due a font issue? [08:49] cfhowlett: i dont need them at all. i am running linux over 10 years now. but i am used on older machines (before 2010). so can i proceed with an entire delete without any "efi" installation? [08:49] !efi | akis, [08:49] akis,: 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 [08:49] cfhowlett: now what should i do ? [08:50] ankita, wait 1 [08:50] ok [08:50] ankita, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-install-microsoft-core-fonts-in-ubuntu-linux/ [08:53] cfhowlett: yea ok. i read already this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI. but i dont understand if this is needed if someone wants to keep win8.1 alongside of ubuntu. i am little confused. i dont need win. only a clen installation of xubuntu and to be able to handle my bios (already turn it to legacy option). [08:54] akis, I'm hesitant to advise as I've not yet installed on an EFI machine ... ask in the channel. someone will advise. [08:56] cfhowlett: that's my question too as i have never installed on an EFi machine too. but as far as i read it's not a problem if the ubuntu is the only OS on the machnine. but i am not absolutely sutre for that. [08:56] akis single OS is always easier than multi-boot [08:57] sure [08:57] I found an annoying bug for ubuntu [08:57] i think unity [08:57] !bug | MrSavage [08:57] MrSavage: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

Do you see any messages+ [09:01] no i forced shut it down [09:01] it's stuck at the loading screen [09:01] with full red dots [09:02] Can you hit the arrow keys to see the messages? [09:02] nothing shows [09:04] wait let me see if this works [09:06] ever since i installed the amd drivers, there's a problem now with x11? === dts is now known as dts|pokeball [09:07] hi === uber2 is now known as uber [09:13] My root drive isn't mounting quick enough when booting and my windows partition has corrupted (not that I'm bothered about Windows).

[11:05] maybe_carl, freya is not supported here. ubuntu only. for elementary support, use their channels. [11:05] So the bad ppa used an experimental ricotz ppa that since has been removed. So with the help of ricotz himself I managed to add the proper ricotz experimental ppa in the hope that now ppa-purge will help me get rid of the all the experimental packages that have been installed on my system.

[11:22] i also have usr/local/bin/bin [11:23] yeah home ikonia, i think. you're asking if i did this as root? i didn't, [11:24] quick question whenever anyone has the time [11:24] rabbit_: no, I'm not asking if you did this as root [11:24] rabbit_: I'm asking you "what directory did you run these commands in" [11:24] rabbit_: can you pastebin the output of ls -la / === sjefskoder is now known as Guest5873 [11:26] ikonia ls -la result: bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory [11:26] I CDed to /Desktop before i did it, if that's what you're asking, sorry for not understanding ikonia [11:27] rabbit_: /usr/bin/ls -la / [11:27] bash: /usr/bin/ls: No such file or directory [11:27] grosjean? [11:28] Guest95831: i'm a bit busy @work right now, sorry [11:29] well i know waht it is you are implying [11:29] any ways thanks [11:30] hi ! I am installing my wireless broadcom driver manually on kubuntu 14.04 It asks for "libitml" But I can't find this package anywhere. Pls help. [11:31] if i go back to the directory before home directory, the file that has etc and proc in it.. it doesn't have bin, and it should have bin. bin is somewhere else. how do i move it back. [11:31] (knowing where it is) [11:31] unless i am remembering wrong and it's not supposed to have bin [11:33] i know this is my fault, but it will let me do things as superuser through the terminal, where it's much less clear to me what i am doing.. but it won't let me copy and paste the bin file back to where it should be because the place where it should be requires root privilages.. yet if i try to do it through sudo in the terminal again i'll probably break everything even more [11:33] am i being attacked? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9354102/ [11:34] what log file is that? [11:34] kern.log [11:34] i'm no info man but just curious man. maybe info man can tell [11:34] tks [11:35] does anyone know where to find the package libitml ? or is it a mistake in kubuntu 14.04 that it displays a worng dependency? [11:35] onla any idea what this is about? [11:36] no [11:40] Is there a tool to set up a vpn easily on ubuntu? A colleague wants to do this but doesn't want to do everything manually [11:41] !vpn | solars [11:41] solars: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [11:42] thanks ikonia [11:42] any ideas ikonia? i can't use ls anywhere because it must require something from bin, and bin isn't where it should be [11:43] ikonia, the page seems a bit outdated, I assume he can simply use: Ubuntu 10.04 comes preinstalled with VPN support. [11:43] This features is available under the networks connections tab. [11:43] solars: they all come with it in network manager [11:43] that page is out of date though, a fair point [11:44] :) how do I start this manager from the console? [11:44] shooooooot i can't use mv either [11:45] i really did just break my os trying to get lxde to take a screenshot. marvelous [11:45] is there a way to get super user privileges through the gui on lubuntu / lxde without logging out? i think if i log out or shut down i won't be able to start up again [11:46] rabbit_, su superuseraccountname === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [11:48] ikonia, hm but is this in the network settings only the client, or also the server? [11:48] thanks cfhowlett, fingers crossed [11:48] solars: the server [11:48] solars: or you can install and configure a standalone server [11:49] ikonia, when doing it in the NM, is the server started automatically etc? [11:49] cfhowlett The program 'su' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [11:49] sudo apt-get install login.. when i put that in it says i already have it [11:49] when the network comes up [11:49] alright [11:49] I think that's fine [11:49] rabbit_: it's because it's in the wrong location [11:49] and your PATH is set wrong while your file system is screwed up [11:50] The ubuntu package manager tells me that I have to install libitml. But I can't find any information on the internet that this package even exists. The only topic where this package is mentioned is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2238423.html But where can I find the deb file from this package?

[11:53] Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [11:54] Rory: It tells me that I need this package when I try to install libgcc-4.8-dev = 4.8.2-19ubuntu1 [11:55] Can I see the command you run and the complete output? [11:55] fixed it! ikonia, cfhowlett i don't know if you are interested but this was the solution: sudo /usr/local/bin/bin/mv /usr/local/bin/bin / (because mv wasn't where it should be so i couldn't just write "mv" or "ls" for that matter ) [11:55] rabbit_: I told you to do that about 25 minutes ago [11:55] did you ikonia? i never saw it [11:56] Rory: I run the normal install command: sudo dpkg -i libgcc-4.8-dev_4.8.2-19ubuntu1_amd64.deb [11:56] sorry!

[11:57] matu: Can I see the full output? [11:57] yeah ubottu i really wish there was a way to repay people for helping [11:59] Rory: Kubuntu 14.04 , I can't use the package manager because I have to install my wireless internet driver first, so I download the packages via windows and install them via this command [12:00] rabbit_, you can repay by helping others :) [12:00] matu: Do you have some way of getting the complete output of the command you're running onto a pastebin? [12:01] matu: The easiest solution to what you're trying to do would be to plug in with a cable temporarily, use the package manager to set up your wifi [12:01] everyone's questions are too difficult for me here! sometimes i go on yahoo answers and help people with their questions "how do I copy and paste" sort of thing, that's about my level of expertise [12:01] rabbit_: Keep doing that then, pay it forwards [12:01] rabbit_: there's no competition here :) [12:01] it's just as well :D [12:01] Rory: I know, but I don't have cable in the residence where I am. You can see the output, but then I have to reboot and login to kubuntu, so please wait a second [12:02] hi, firefox on ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) shows steam page incorrectly, even in clean install. mail.com also doesn't show correctly (missing images in both sites).

[12:18] matu: Is this 14.04? [12:18] hi [12:19] Donskoy: You can run it with the full path to the Eclipse binary, so something like /usr/local/path/to/eclipse [12:20] Rory: it's Kubuntu 14.04 [12:20] matu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libitm1 you need this deb [12:20] matu: It's a "1" not a letter "l" [12:20] Thanks Rory how can I mmake it run without the path, somethinng like "eclipse" [12:21] Donskoy: When you run the command "eclipse", the shell will look for a file called "eclipse" in all the locations in the $PATH variable. [12:21] Rory: thank you very much, I feel dumb rightnow :) [12:21] !path | Donskoy [12:21] Donskoy: The $PATH variable tells the shell where to look for the commands you tell it to run. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables [12:21] ubuntu 14.04 is nicd [12:21] Donskoy: So, if you have a file /usr/local/bin/eclipse you can just run "eclipse" [12:22] e it is loaded in my laptop [12:22] matu: You might get stuck chasing dependency after dependency though. But http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ is the place to be. [12:23] it is really nice [12:23] daddy: We all think so too. Did you have a support question? [12:24] non that i can think of [12:25] Rory: I am already chasing dependency after dependency for a long time so it should be coming to an end soon :) I knew that site, I just didn't read the name of the package correctly, [12:26] matu: and thank you for all the help.

[12:56] i have returned....from the depths of eol with my upgraded 14.04 lts :D how ever the internet on the thing still wont work [12:56] akis: autoclean will remove uneeded packages [12:57] my computer can not get on wifi [12:57] ikonia: autoremove will, autoclean does something completely different. [12:57] ikonia: autoclean is the same as autoremove? [12:57] jpds: oops, thank you [12:57] akis: nope, see jpds's comment [12:58] can someone help? [12:58] epicfail: supppp [12:58] buyoancing: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo aa-status" ? [12:59] jpds: sure, one sec [12:59] akis: if your not crazy busy wanna help me a lil bit [12:59] how can i be sure that the removed package doesn't leave any files on my /home or somewhere else [12:59] iggymydog: please don't hassle individuals [12:59] iggymydog: ask the channel and wait for a response [13:00] akis: they won't, thats why they are being removed [13:00] iggymydog: help on what? [13:00] akis: trust the package manager [13:00] ikonia: i did three times..... [13:00] iggymydog: so wait [13:00] iggymydog: rather than asking random individuals [13:00] akis: i cant connect to the internet [13:00] ikonia: i did! [13:00] akis: There's nothing that removes things from the /home folder. [13:01] Is there a tool which, given a name such as libpng, would output the name of the right package to install, such as libpng12-dev on Ubuntu 14.04? [13:01] mietek that doesn't make sense [13:01] jpds: where should i search? in /.local or in /.config? [13:01] ikonia: i dont feel like i was hasseling him by asking him if he was busy he could have told me to go away [13:01] mietek: Bash's tab-completation ? [13:01] mietek: you can use apt-file to look at specific files [13:01] ikonia: I know about apt-file, but searching for libfoo.a does not give unambiguous results. [13:02] mietek: use the full path [13:02] iggymydog: didi you try using ethernet? [13:02] akis: That entirely depends on the how the software is coded to do things. [13:02] iggymydog: please ask the channel until people respond [13:02] akis: yes i did and it worked fine [13:02] ikonia: for .a? [13:02] mietek: should work [13:02] ikonia: no [13:02] akis: how ever i had to go to my nebors house to use it because i dont have a chord here [13:02] mietek: eg apt-file search test.a [13:03] ikonia: go ahead and search for libstdc++.a [13:03] jpds: the aa-status output is at http://pastebin.com/wy3K8Wta, i removed 2000 lines with "null-xxx" [13:03] mietek: that doesn't look like a file [13:03] mietek: normally you see a version, but I can't check it onthe machine I'm on [13:04] buyoancing: Ah, hmm. [13:04] ikonia: you are thinking about dynamic libraries, which are usually named *.so [13:04] iggymydog: so, you cannot just connect wirelessly? [13:04] akis: correst [13:04] mietek: the apt-file command should still search though [13:04] akis:correct* [13:04] jpds: looking at "ps", I see tasks called "dovecot/imap-login" and also "dovecot/auth" [13:04] Can someone help me out with chromeos-apk and dvd::rip? [13:04] ikonia: yes, but as I said, it doesn't give unambiguous output. [13:04] I'm asking if anyone knows a better tool than apt-file. [13:04] jpds: but no "dovecot-auth" [13:04] mietek what does it actually give you [13:04] mietek: pastebin the output, lets have a look [13:05] iggymydog: what kind of adaptor you are using to conncet wirelessly? [13:05] There are many packages which contain libstdc++.a, and I'm wondering about a general solution. [13:05] I don't have a problem installing this file specifically. [13:05] jpds: but I get lots of lines like this in the kernel log: apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="exec" info="profile not found" error=-13 profile="/usr/sbin/dovecot" name="/usr/lib/dovecot/auth" comm="dovecot" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=0 ouid=0 [13:05] its a dell so i believe its bro something.... [13:05] mietek: there really shouldn't be [13:05] akis: its a dell so i believe its bro something but im not sure...do u mean router or my nic === buyoancing is now known as buyo [13:05] ah, that's better [13:06] buyo: Can you file a bug report about this on bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu ? [13:06] ikonia: https://gist.github.com/mietek/cd74e4a02ac02350b46a [13:06] jpds: yeah i will [13:06] iggymydog: i mean the onboard adaptor. [13:06] jpds: just wondering why noone had files one before :) [13:06] I can use with no problem dvd::rip and chromeos-apk on Xubuntu but on Ubuntu it's just not working : dependicies or webgl not supported. [13:06] filed even [13:06] akis: im not sure [13:06] mietek: that looks fine, if you look there is one generic one - the rest are different archs [13:06] where can I get help for bash? [13:06] ikonia: I know that. [13:07] I am asking about a tool which can do that automatically. [13:07] mietek: do what ? [13:07] mietek: apt-file has just done exactly what you want [13:07] Rory: I installed all the required packages, and my wireless internet works now :p Cheers! [13:07] ikonia: He wants to map short names of libs to their long versions. [13:07] ikonia: you said I should look and figure out which one is the generic name. [13:07] mietek: no, you should use which one fits your needs best === k1l is now known as Guest30567 [13:08] mietek: eg: you're not using arm, or cross-compiling for arm, so you don't need that one [13:08] ikonia: are you dense? [13:08] buyo: Yeah, I don't use dovecot myself. [13:08] iggymydog: did you try to edit your connection? [13:08] mietek: I don't believe so [13:08] akis: yes [13:08] jpds: are you involved with the apparmor-profiles package? === Guest30567 is now known as k1l [13:09] jpds: do you know if a tool or service like that exists? [13:09] akis: manually put in my wifi's infromation in hopes it would work === buyo is now known as buyoa [13:11] iggymydog: is it able to scan wireless networks? [13:11] buyoa: I'm familiar with apparmor. [13:12] mietek: I literally just use the tab-complete in my shell. [13:12] akis: negetive [13:12] jpds: what, you write "apt-get install libz", press tab, and get "zlib1g-dev"? [13:13] mietek: That one's a special case. [13:13] jpds: funny! [13:13] mietek: I do: [apt-cache show|apt-get install] libpng, done. [13:13] jpds: sure, I know I can do that. But as you see, it's not automatic. [13:14] There are packaging systems which let users declare just the short library names, and give no help in installing the actual libraries. [13:14] I'm working on adding automation to such a system, and just trying to find out if anyone has done the work before. [13:14] mietek: You shouldn't be installing libraries, you should be installing apps which pull in those libraries. [13:15] * mietek shrugs [13:15] Glad there is no such system, that could lead to unwanted packages. [13:20] akis: sooo... [13:21] javnut: man bash?

So, here's the odd issue [13:24] Installed Emacs24, then went to install modules/plugins ( i can't recall exactly what ) [13:24] and then I lost total keyboard control, except the ALT key for that login [13:25] purged Emacs24, still no help. Seems like this should be a config file I can remove/fix [13:25] i can login, but after login, no keys work, aside from ALT === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [13:26] any thoughts? or is this a more specialized/difficult request? === TonyL is now known as Guest41932 [13:27] warfrog: reboot your machine see if you have the same problem [13:28] ikonia - i have, multiple times [13:28] warfrog: and every time you have the same problem [13:28] yes [13:28] warfrog: if you can only use the alt key after a reboot - how do you login with your username and password [13:28] keyboard works fine for other users and works fine on login screen [13:29] post login, however, it stops working, as though something has taken over the keybindings [13:29] Hi. how do I install a software from a later release? like a later version of teamviewer in that case? [13:30] cariveri: you don't [13:30] warfrog: backup your configs, and remove all the . files in your home directory, then add them back one at a time and see whats breaking it [13:31] cariveri: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/dyngate.aspx [13:31] ikonia: so if that software does not let me connect to a peer on a later version, Im forced to upgrade my ubuntu? [13:31] previous versions of Teamviewer are located there [13:31] cariveri: or find a later version built for your OS version [13:32] ikonia: thanks! I was hoping that wasn't the solution, but it makes the most sense at this point [13:35] hello [13:36] i from romania [13:36] hey all i have installed ubuntu 14.10 server edition on a vm and i am occuring a strange situation..the ls command doesn't work..i press the comand and nothing happens no errors ,nothing..any ideas?

[15:03] azizLIGHT: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" [15:03] time to watch snooker [15:03] grosjean: do you think was my decision right to delete swap before any leak to it? [15:03] k1l: i misspok, am not manually installing anything (as in building from source or grabbing a random .deb from somewhere). i mean all about ppa, reinstalling purging and installing [15:04] Lili USB Creator does not have support for 14.04 LTS. That is the answer. What a joke. [15:04] akis: i think that you still need a swapfile [15:05] DualBootMePlease, ubuntu next to xp is a joke too? [15:05] Yes. But I *need* XP for an old AutoCad instance for work :( [15:06] morsnowski: yes the ppa is in my sources, ive done apt-get update as well. when i try to install the base package it installes only it, and successfully, but without the dependencies and it doesnt mention this but i know there are dependencies. when i check dpkg -l, theyre already listed as installed, when theyre not [15:06] grosjean: what for? i do multitasking and the system doesnt go over 1gb of ram. [15:06] DualBootMePlease: lili usb can make a 14.04 live usb fine [15:06] DualBootMePlease: i've used it myself for 14.04 [15:06] Is it inherently conflictory to try and install 32bit XP and 64bit Ubuntu? or is ok? [15:06] akis: in fact, it's like you want [15:06] yea, sure. [15:06] DualBootMePlease: see if autocad will run under a virtual machine [15:06] Eric. Literally it isnt the list. and the program tells me Unsupported. [15:06] But whatever you say. [15:06] oki [15:07] DualBootMePlease: it doesn't need to be supported [15:07] You want me to run one of the most machine intensive programs known to man under windows emulation? [15:07] DualBootMePlease: it can still make a live usb fine [15:07] Well whatever. im using Unetbootin now. [15:07] Is 32BitXP dualbooted with 64bitUbuntu OK or NOT? [15:07] are you a mech engineer? [15:08] im trying to figure out what the previous problem with this attempt was. [15:08] Also wondering if i installed WinXP DVD from UEFI mode accidentally. [15:08] i have been unsuccesfful 4 different ways getting 14.04 to install alongside of it. Everytime the install crashes. [15:08] DualBootMePease, if your machine supports 64 bit, install 64 bit. [15:09] No. I am a CAD drafter. [15:09] anyone faced similar situation before? [15:09] DualBootMePlease: i dont think winxp has uefi support! [15:09] Ok. But WinXP is 32 bit. That is my question. Is that conflicting? [15:09] DualBootMePlease: i think it started with vista [15:09] I know it doesnt have UEFI support. But the WinXP install is working just fine. [15:09] DualBootMePlease: ubuntu doesn't care what windows is [15:09] But im wondering if it was installed under UEFI mode if that is somehow screwing up Ubuntu. [15:09] DualBootMePlease: if you would explain what exactly happened we could help better [15:09] xp and uefi, no go. [15:09] DualBootMePlease: why don't you run XP in a VM? [15:09] DualBootMePlease, "shouldn't" but ... windows ... [15:10] I DO NOT WANT TO RUN AUTOCAD IN A VM. THAT IS DODO TALK [15:10] I know someone who runs ubuntu as primary OS and XP in a VM [15:10] and it's fast :) [15:10] sure. ok. ash. [15:10] hm i don't like your tone, im out [15:10] :) [15:11] DualBootMePlease: can you explain what happened earlier? [15:11] EriC ... i have put this .iso of 14.04 to USB and to DVD ... the USB refuses to even start the install process unless run from UEFI mode. The DVD starts installing and crashes every time. [15:11] hi evryone, i’ve been doing some file shuffling for the last day or so and now I need to pick a filesystem for my external drive. I am currently on osx and moving to ubuntu server. ON wiki(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems) I noticed that if I use NTFS I will be able to use the filesystem with a kernel 2.2 or newer. Just wanted to confirm this before jumping in. [15:11] WinXP was installed over a hard drive, and fast wiped through XP installer. It is in one single partition. === zz_XeBlackWater is now known as XeBlackWater [15:11] I realized my first attempt at installing Ubuntu alongside it went wrong because I was in UEFI mode via bios, not Legacy. [15:12] DualBootMePlease: so the live usb wont boot unless you boot it in uefi mode? [15:12] But in legacy mode, and using Boot Overide to ensure i am NOT in UEFI mode, NO install of 14.04 will even complete \ start. [15:12] medecau: NTFS will 'work' in Ubuntu but you won't have the same Linux permissions structures - as NTFS doesn't support those kinds of permissions [15:12] DualBootMePlease: how are you in uefi mode and running winxp though? [15:12] Yes. Correct, EriC. [15:12] DualBootMePlease: did you use a usb stick? [15:12] teward: will I be able to read and write? [15:13] EriC, itś not that i am running XP in UEFI mode, it is that the reboot to get the DVD or USB to boot first goes to UEFI by default. [15:13] medecau, sure, ntfs is good supported, as a data drive. [15:13] But i have figured out how to overide that and make it go to Legacy DVD or USB. [15:13] thanks OerHeks and teward [15:13] But The USB 14.04 wont even start without being in UEFI. and the DVD just gives me a fail error once started. [15:13] medecau: yes you should be able to (that's what I meant by 'work'). [15:13] hi again...i am trying to configure authentication with crypto-keys in OPENSSH i have created the keys using ssh-keygen but i am a bit stucked could somebody help me continue with the next steps?Host pc ubuntu desktop server ubuntu server on a vm .. [15:14] kotel: so your creation's key was successfull ? [15:14] kotel you need to place the .pub inside of .ssh/allowed_keys [15:14] i am redownloading the ubuntu 14.04 live via unetbootin now to rule out a crap iso. [15:14] DualBootMePlease: ok, did you md5sum the iso? [15:14] DualBootMePlease: hold on [15:14] i dont know how or i would. [15:14] DualBootMePlease: md5sum the iso [15:14] see above === def_jam is now known as eb0t [15:14] md5 [15:14] kotel: next, ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub @ [15:15] ok. so iĺl just say the word MD5 to my screen and poof. [15:15] http://www.nullriver.com/downloads/Install-winMd5Sum.exe [15:15] DualBootMePlease: md5sum file.iso [15:15] Hi all, is there a way to do backups and restores on ubuntu? I screwed up my xorg when i installed amd drivers and was unable to have my desktop bootup [15:15] i am in windows. fyi. [15:15] he already said it so I stopped..hit enter anyway. lucky anyone tries to help you at all [15:16] DualBootMePlease: see the link above [15:16] DualBootMePlease: come on bro, just google "md5 windows" and there should be a program [15:16] but that's my opinion [15:16] ty eric [15:17] key succesfully created..i've created the keys in my host computer not the one running ssh server..i 've already read that i have to copy the pub file into .ssh/allowed_keys but my .ssh folder only has id_rsa and id_rsa.pub [15:17] so i got 119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd [15:17] the compare field was blank [15:17] i press compare and it says different [15:17] DualBootMePlease: ok, and which iso are you using? ubuntu 14.04.1 desktop amd64? [15:17] hi. im not sure how to install mobility radeon 4330 driver? if i try with fglrx then when i do "sudo aticonfig --initial" i get aticonfig: no supported adapter....if i try to get drivers from 'additional drivers' it shows drivers only for network card...what to do? [15:18] klex, did you get something a log file? [15:18] ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [15:18] I'am using Ubuntu 14.04 Yesterday i bought a Blackmagic intensity Pro Video capture card. Now i want to watch my setup box channels in this card. Is there any TV viewer like software which will support blackmagic intensity Pro ? [15:18] klex check your fglrx log file [15:18] DualBootMePlease: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [15:18] blackyboy: probably several, if it's supported at all [15:18] klex, ati 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx are no longer supported by fglrx, use the standard driver/ [15:18] klex, it probably didn't install due to packes not being preinstalled [15:18] !ati [15:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:19] DualBootMePlease: the iso seems fine [15:19] DualBootMePlease: do you have a different usb you can try with? [15:19] Hi all, is there a way to do backups and restores on ubuntu? I screwed up my xorg when i installed amd drivers and was unable to have my desktop bootup. What is your recommended backup tool? [15:19] its not the usb. [15:19] reisio: i have tries mytv and metv these are not working. [15:19] tried [15:19] !backup | MrSavage [15:19] MrSavage: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [15:19] DualBootMePlease: ok, is secure boot enabled? [15:19] Do you think it could be that the WinXP dvd in all likelyhood booted from within UEFI mode (the default mode my computer loads up in) ? [15:20] cfhowlett i need a recommendation since there are many [15:20] MrSavage, there's a built in Backups app (in 14.04 anyway) [15:20] No. I have all UEFI crap turned off now. BUT see ABOVE. [15:20] pbx: which one to use? [15:20] OerHeks: ok i thought they might not be supported anymore...what do u mean by standard drivers? to accept those opensource? [15:20] blackyboy: "not working"? [15:20] k1l morsnowski i fixed it by explicitlty listing all the ppa packages in a apt-get install command. now everythigns working and dpkg -l | grep qt53 is listing true things [15:20] klex yes, see your card here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti [15:21] MrSavage, i have no particular recommendation. however if you have no backup system currently then the most important thing is to begin, and the built-in one is ready to roll [15:21] reisio: yes software not detecting the card. Is there any video capture Software available ? The software must have the import option from HD camera or from PAL format. [15:21] pbx: what's the name of the built in one? [15:21] DualBootMePlease: even if winxp was installed in uefi ( which i think isn't possible ), ubuntu should install in legacy mode [15:22] pbx: if i install gfx drivers and i screw up my ubuntu by making it hand on the loader, can the backup restore and fix the problem in a fast manner? [15:22] DualBootMePlease: when you select legacy and boot the usb, what happens? [15:22] blackyboy: already answered that [15:22] blackyboy: did you install the driver yet? [15:22] DualBootMePlease: some people install win in uefi and set legacy and install ubuntu that way, then we tell them to install either both in uefi or legacy, but ubuntu still installs.. [15:23] OerHeks: 4330 isnt listed there, it is 4350 though...but if i use those opensource drivers then my pc is freezing when im closing terminal or chrome (not every time but it happens at least once in 30mins and the freeze is few mins) [15:23] reisio: yes i have installed blackmagic software and drivers, they are working fine. But i wan to use the same card for Viewing tv while im not using the export or import process and one thing more i need any other video import software rather than what i get from blackmagic. [15:24] EriC, i was told yesterday by someone here that Ubuntu outright will NOT install in UEFI. ? [15:24] DualBootMePlease: no ubuntu uses uefi fine [15:24] blackyboy: what makes you think they're working fine? [15:24] DualBootMePlease, false === ubuntu is now known as Guest32360 [15:25] Ok. Well i am just going to bite the bullet and scrub the drive. and re-do the XP install and gaurantee it is NOT in UEFI mode. (after i try one more crappy time here in a sec with ANOTHER usb ubuntu install) [15:25] i've got a Dell tp713 external touchpad, and it's locked to 'natural scrolling' on ubuntu. the mouse settings only recognize it as a 'mouse', so i don't have any options beyond cursor speed. how can i force ubuntu to treat it as a touchpad? [15:25] reisio: i can capture video in PAL format, but i can't capture HD videos its too enabled with HDCP we can't if we need to capture a HD we need HD furry II or III [15:25] that person was DaftyKins, FYI [15:25] DualBootMePlease: lol i doubt daftykins said that [15:26] pbx: so what'st he name of the built in backup tool that i should use? [15:26] STG [15:26] blackyboy: doesn't seem relevant [15:26] :'( [15:26] but whatevs. === max is now known as duracell [15:26] cz? === Guest41932 is now known as TonyL [15:27] !cz | lukasxx84 [15:27] lukasxx84: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [15:27] czecho! [15:27] what backup tool should i use if installing drivers make my ubuntu hang on boot? [15:27] DualBootMePlease: i dont think it matters what is installed on the hdd for the ubuntu live usb to boot [15:27] where i can only use command line [15:27] MrSavage: unrelated, just uninstall the drivers [15:28] reisio: I don't know what changed on my computer when i use the .run file [15:28] ah, that is the "charm" of .run files, isn't it :p [15:28] EriC, well i am honestly just grasping at straws to understand the problem at this point. [15:28] DualBootMePlease: i think you could remove the hard disk and the live usb will still run [15:28] reisio: so i think a simple backup would be my best bet [15:28] for when i screw up my system [15:29] MrSavage: for if you encounter this situation in the future, you mean? [15:29] in UEFI mode, Ubuntu actually DID install next to WinXP but i did it manually, because in UEFI mode Ubuntu Install did not recognize nore give me an option for Install Next To Windows XP so i manually made the partitions. [15:29] But then i had no access to Ubuntu. Grub never came up, and WinXP just loaded straightaway. [15:29] reisio: yes so I can restore quickly and retry installing gfx drivers [15:29] DualBootMePlease: ok, so wait a second [15:29] That was around the time DaftyKins told me Ubuntu UEFI no no. [15:29] Windows XP on a UEFI box, far out [15:29] MrSavage: right [15:29] i installed java plugin on my firefox but website of nvidia says that required java [15:29] DualBootMePlease: you're not making a lot of sense [15:29] MrSavage: I like rsync and rsync-based things, like rdiff-backup, depending on the type of backups you want [15:30] oh. i am pretty sure i am making perfect sense. [15:30] but try me. [15:30] DualBootMePlease: after installing ubuntu in uefi mode, winxp was loading ( with the bios set to uefi ) ? [15:30] reisio: I want to make a restore point for the system and restore it so i can boot properly again [15:30] Ok. I am ASSUMING that when i stuck the WinXP disk in to install, that my computer WAS in UEFI mode. [15:30] reisio: should i use rdiff-backup? [15:30] Thus, i am assuming XP installed UNDER UEFI mode. [15:30] so anyone knows how to install mobility 4330 drivers on ubuntu now that fglrx doesnt support it anymore? [15:31] DualBootMePlease: you didnt answer my question.. [15:31] After that, I went to install Ubuntu for hte first time next to it. [15:31] My computer was STILL in UEFI mode for THAT install. [15:31] klex: check the company site for proprietary drivers [15:31] When i started that Ubuntu install, i was given no choice for Install Next To Windows [15:31] So i manually made partitions, and installed it next to it myself. [15:31] DualBootMePlease: i think uefi was made in 2001 or so, winxp was made in 2000 i think [15:31] AFTER THAT. No Ubuntu to be found. Only XP loaded. [15:31] reisio: should i use rdiff-backup? [15:31] ^WELL I HEAR YOU ON THE THEORY. [15:32] im just telling you *what i did* [15:32] DualBootMePlease: ok great, i'm trying to understand what you did [15:32] well im telling you if you stick a DVDinstall disc in my computer with out specifically overiding the boot process, it is inherently in UEFI mode. [15:32] And that is how i installed XP (because i was not thinking) [15:33] DualBootMePlease: maybe it's a hybrid system that runs efi first, if it can't find anything loads stuff as msdos? [15:33] it IS. it is a brand new computer (earlier this year) [15:33] it is so new Ubuntu had some serious bugs with my system for months and months. [15:33] DualBootMePlease: ok, so if ubuntu isn't loading except as uefi [15:33] like i had to reboot twice everytime i rebooted to get passed bios screen. [15:33] t [15:34] (fixed now, btw) [15:34] DualBootMePlease: ok, is ubuntu still installed or did you wipe the installation? [15:34] i deleted those partitions. [15:34] its just the one WinXP partition now. [15:34] ok [15:34] try to install ubuntu again [15:34] actually can you try to boot the live usb [15:34] got a brand new computer, install XP on it :/ [15:35] then come here as you can check the partition table and if efi is enabled etc. [15:35] xangua: yeah [15:35] alright im out for 5. let you know when i get back wtf is up [15:35] * cfhowlett thinks installing XP, an unsupported and defunct OS, on ANYTHING, let alone a NEW computer is ... questionable. [15:36] Well I aint payin for Windows7 just to dick around in AutoCAD2004. sorry. [15:36] MrSavage: rdiff-backup makes rsync do really nice incremental backups [15:36] MrSavage: so if you want the ability to see changes in your files over time, it's good [15:36] MrSavage: if you _only_ need to be able to access how your system was at some single specific interval from the present to the past, rsync alone is fine [15:36] i see [15:37] And XP is runing just fine on this new computer. Its ubuntu that is giving me crap in a DualBoot environment. (worked fine by itself though) [15:37] whatever. out. back in 5. [15:37] using rsync alone is simpler if you want to give yourself a window to backup [15:37] like say 24 hours passes, and you replace the old backup [15:37] reisio: how would backup my entire system? [15:37] but you can not replace if you want, rdiff-backup just works better for that [15:37] MrSavage: something like: rsync -Hav / /elsewhere/ [15:38] or s/rsync -Hav/rdiff-backup/ [15:39] hey guys? should I be able to boot into my live (64bit) cd on a machine with UEFI bios? cuz I'm not. [15:39] * MrMonkey31 is at his wits' end [15:39] MrMonkey31, details [15:40] cfhowlett: well I'm pretty scanty on what is/isnt important. the machine gives no feedback whatsoever, but proceeds to boot up W8. I've set it to boot from ODD that's cd drive, first [15:41] MrMonkey31, so what happens at boot? [15:41] should I turn off "safeboot" on the bios boot section? cfhowlett, that's the thing - it's a dell, so I get the rotund dell logo and then the windows screen as if no cd was inserted === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [15:42] MrMonkey31, I've not done UEFI on a dell - only lenovo ... on lenovo, the bios menu shows entries for uefi, NIC and USB ... [15:43] reisio: how do i rsync backup without backuping up stuff from my /media/user folder? [15:43] reisio: It's backup up stuff on my other HDDs [15:43] MrSavage: man rsync, /--exclude [15:43] I'm loath to screw anything up or ordinarily I'd have fiddled the hell out of this first. I did try selecting boot options by pressing f12, where it listed my optical drive, but choosing it once more failed to boot me right [15:43] MrMonkey31, turn off safeboot and fastboot [15:43] MrSavage: and there are other switches, there's one for not leaving the specific single FS it starts on [15:43] i have a graphic card that is nvidia gforce 7300 gs [15:43] but when i install driver nvidia then after reboot , system is runing in low level graphic mod === warchild34x is now known as warchildx3 [15:45] OerHeks: yeah, you figure it has to be that. I mean, what else could it be right? but I have to do reserch first on what if I begin booting win 8 inadvertantly with the safeboot not on [15:47] ciao a tutti [15:47] Firefox 34 is maxing out my cpu [15:47] philinux: good story [15:47] maska: :) [15:48] pretty sluggish compared to 33 [15:48] so don't use 34?

[16:23] brianblaze420, Carol__ take this conversation to a pm if you'r e doing windows support, or maybe even the #windows chat would work [16:23] he Bought this pc for me half year ago [16:23] and said it was expensive computer [16:23] My computer is pentium 1 and it's the newest ^^ [16:23] Joe-e19, celerons are still around [16:23] but he didn't care about the money [16:23] I need some help trouleshooting a network connection. For some reason (on a fresh install) certain web pages don't load at all (firefox and chromium), thunderbird can't get mail out. Happens in different networks, I need some way to start troubleshooting...

[16:25] Okay, so i have gotten closer this time around but still not there yet :( [16:25] Joe-e19: stop spoiling this support channel. please make sure you read the guidelines [16:25] Hello. What command can I use to figure which driver my keyboard and my mouse are using? I can't identify them through lspci or lsusb (they're not marked as such). [16:26] This time i got LiveUSB 14.04 to load. I got it to install. It gave me the option for Ïnstall Alongside WindowsXP ... the install completed. It told me to reboot. But then XP just loads up. ? [16:26] what for guidelines i never used this ubuntu and i never what to use it [16:26] DualBootMePlease: u r missing grub again haha [16:26] :( Can someone one hold my widdle biddy hand and walk me through this? [16:26] !guidelines | Joe-e19 Carol__ [16:26] Joe-e19 Carol__: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:27] Hi, I am having problems controlling brightness on my Lenovo Z500. It has optimus graphics (Intel HD 4000 + NVIDIA GT635M), but I cannot control it on either mode. /sys/class/backlight/ only lists intel_backlight [16:27] Why would a full Ubuntu install not include Grub? [16:27] it asks you if you want to install it [16:27] I MD5 checksummed the ISO. it is fine. [16:27] it gives you the option it is not forced [16:27] No it most certainly does not. [16:27] i'm having issues trying to install some AMD driver, can I get some assistance please? [16:28] Not true. [16:28] http://pastebin.com/TRnd25ZA [16:28] and when you install it you need to make sure you put it in the right place [16:28] DualBootMePlease: when You selected to install ubuntu alongside XP, at the bottom at the window what did You select? to install the bootloader into /dev/sdaX or /dev/sda (sdaX is the ubuntu partition) [16:28] ^^ [16:28] oli_b ... i saw no such option and it did not ask me to select an option? [16:28] DualBootMePlease, Don't just argue a point you have no clue on and just detail the issue. [16:29] What would be the point of having an Install Alongside WindowsXP option if you were then required to specify something in addition to make both installs work? [16:29] Im not arguing. 420s point is not correct. [16:29] It never asks you to install grub. [16:29] because it didn't mess with your xp partition [16:29] is this correct for 14.04 mounting ntfs partition? UUID=519CB82E5888AD0F /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 [16:29] on fstab [16:29] I dont know how denying something untrue makes me argumentative.

[16:30] because on every ubuntu install live disk I have ever installed and I have installed a lot they ask if you want to install grub... [16:30] it says will not be installed? [16:30] DualBootMePlease, You are starting to look like a troll, even if you're not this is help on a detailed problem get to that. [16:30] i am in XP right now. [16:30] I don't mean to make be irritating [16:30] can you please just back up bubba. ? [16:30] im constructively asking for help [16:30] lel^^ [16:30] trying to get passed non issues.

[16:34] then every single command uses Sudo [16:34] sorry, that was offtopic, will never happen again [16:34] DualBootMePlease: it says if u dont know what u r doing be careful with sudo lol [16:34] BluesKaj: No, but I just installed it now [16:34] well i certainly have no freakin clue what i am doing so... [16:35] que? [16:35] islandmonkey, please clarify...installed what? [16:35] BRB im going to log back in from a Live ubuntu instance so we can better troubleshoot [16:36] BluesKaj: I just installed nvidia-prime after you said it [16:36] islandmonkey, ok [16:38] is it ok to use tabs rather than spaces in /etc/fstab [16:39] BluesKaj: Sorry to disrupt anything you were writing next, but I just noticed something weird - attempting to put brightness down (it has no visible effect on the backlight itself of course) actually changes the value of /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness [16:39] Highest it can go is 976 btw [16:39] I need some help trouleshooting a network connection. For some reason (on a fresh install) certain web pages don't load at all (firefox and chromium), thunderbird can't get mail out.

[16:42] Hello everyone [16:42] Good afternoon [16:42] Hello fellows, I have heard a lot of good thing about Cinnamon but I wanna know if there is anyone who think it’s a bad DE and why [16:43] Ugb8: that discussion suits better in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:43] Ugb8, We don't do polls here. [16:43] Ugb8, this cahnnel is not for polling, cinnamon was removed in 14.04 and returned in 14.10 [16:44] polls? asking opinions is a poll? [16:44] Ok so discussing about ubuntu de is off topic ? [16:44] brianblaze420, yes. [16:44] bubbasaures: that's not a poll, IDIOT [16:44] Ugb8: this is not discussion channel, this is support [16:44] can i use tab characters on /etc/fstab k1l ? [16:44] I have upgraded my Ubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10... Now networking doesn't work, nor the icons...etc. What can I do? [16:44] That was the nicest comment I've gotten [16:44] I upgraded online [16:45] I’m not asking for oppinion, just for « scientific » infos, but ok i guess I will go somewhere else… [16:45] Ugb8: brianblaze420 we try to solve technical issues in here. hourlong discussions dont help there. so please take that discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:45] hey guys i have understood, stop flooding me !

[16:46] http://superuser.com/questions/663902/some-sites-wont-load-on-ubuntu-mint this sums up quite well what I am experiencing... [16:46] nicofs, that would be a mint issue [16:47] !mint | nicofs, ask mint for support = this is ubuntu not mint [16:47] nicofs, ask mint for support = this is ubuntu not mint: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[16:50] OerHeks, it must be some global misconfiguration - chromium and firefox have issues, some pages load, some don't, some only partially. upload is somewhat inhibited, mail not going out, google drive/docs not working... [16:50] nicofs, on IPv6? [16:51] OerHeks, IPv6 is disabled as per network manager, didn't solve the issue... [16:51] Hi, I am having problems controlling brightness on my Lenovo Z500.

[16:52] I roll soft [16:53] can i just run Boot-Repair from LiveUSB? [16:53] nope follow the instructions [16:53] can you repaste the link, 420? [16:53] Hello everyone [16:54] Good afternoon [16:54] I'm having a problem here [16:54] brianblaze420, They could use boot repair don;t just say no, that is not helping [16:54] Will you please help me out?

[16:57] DualBootToTheHea, bootrepair auto generated a bootinfo script when run save that url for posting if needed.

[17:00] u already have boot repair on the live cd I think DualBootToTheHea [17:00] you mean, 14.04 to 14.10?

[17:08] ikonia: an attitude problem i think [17:08] u want to put grub on /dev/sda [17:08] Everyone here tells me either i scrweed up my ubuntu install, failed to load grub, or some other shenanigans. [17:08] windows xp + attitude = bad combination [17:09] DualBootToTheHea: summerise the problem please. [17:09] xubuntu75w: Tried to right-click it? [17:09] ^problem. Want dualboot XP and 14.04 ... no option to not load in to XP at start. [17:09] Question, are there any other ways to increase preformance for Ubuntu 12.04 installed in a Virtual Box? I've already blacklisted the i2c_piix4 [17:09] Have both OS installed per instructions. Restart yields only XP. [17:09] DualBootToTheHea: boot a live usb [17:09] Need method for accessing Grub at restart or otherwise to select OS. [17:10] I am in a Live USB right now. [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: so if it boots straight to XP either a.) the boot loader was installed on the drive you are not booting from b.) the boot loader was not installed [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: what if they are right but you beeing to stubborn thinking you can do everything right? i did not see you actual work propperly on a solution but just shouting and denying. [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: those are the two realistic options [17:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9355954/ [17:10] Yoko|Work, couple options: no unity. switch to xfce or lxde. that will lighten your system demands a bit [17:10] someone look at THIS:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9355954/ [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: ok, type sudo parted -l [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [17:10] Yoko|Work, Ubuntu is a bit chunky in vbox how much ram is allocated? [17:10] wildwind I tried to reconfigure the network with the Network Manager, but everything appears grayed :-( [17:10] cfhowlett, forgot to metion, I'm on Xubuntu. Unity was terrible. [17:10] same on lighter de as well [17:10] DualBootToTheHea: looking at that boot report - it looks like it's booting off the second disk [17:11] break it down for me, ikonia. [17:11] DualBootToTheHea: it looks like it's booting from the disk with windows on, rather than the disk with linux on [17:11] what do? [17:11] Yoko|Work, agreed. How much ram did you give the VM? [17:11] well i could have told you that. [17:11] :( [17:11] bubbasaures, 4 GB at present with 4 CPUs, though that may be a bit overkill [17:11] wildwind I mean, I can initiate Network Manager, but the pages are grayed when I try to add a wired network... :-( [17:11] server has 32 GB total [17:11] DualBootToTheHea: change the boot disk in the bios, or press the boot selector (normally F12 in most pre-boots) to select the other disk for a one off boot [17:12] Yoko|Work, that is plenty, not sure beyond trying a lighter desktop. [17:12] BIOS only gives me option for my entire driev as ONE. [17:12] no option for either or partition. [17:12] DualBootToTheHea: you don't boot a partition [17:12] you boot a disk [17:12] It reads the entire drive as one. [17:12] and you need to boot the other disk [17:12] Figured as much bubbasaures, I'm just glad Unity is gone! [17:12] Ok. so here is what i am saying for the 3rd time. [17:12] DualBootToTheHea: you have like 3 disks [17:12] Two partions on one disc. One option: that disc. [17:12] EriC^^: one is the USB [17:12] i think 2 disks [17:12] yeah [17:12] Eric http://snag.gy/6hCXh.jpg [17:12] there are two disks [17:13] and the boot report shows it clearly [17:13] i couldn't figure out your ubuntu paste link [17:13] windows is on one, and grub/linux is on the other [17:13] Yoko|Work, I imagine you've enabled guest additions? [17:13] Yup. Those are two "disks" on ONE harddrive. [17:13] My bios does not recogjnize TWO [17:13] it recognizes the ONE physical drive. [17:13] Sure did cfhowlett [17:13] DualBootToTheHea: there are 2 hard drives [17:13] not one [17:13] What you are asking me to do is impossible. [17:13] DualBootToTheHea: the 1TB drive has winxp? [17:13] DualBootToTheHea: you are mistaken about your hardware [17:13] BBL, gone2lunch [17:13] Hi Ubuntu people. I am in the market for a quality MP3 player. I had an ipod touch, which didn't play nice with ubuntu at all. Even my android smart phone wasn't great with it. My question for you is: What line(s) of audio players are ideal for syncing with ubuntu? [17:13] Ok the TB drive is a STORAGE driev. [17:13] DualBootToTheHea: there are two different disks [17:13] Nope. [17:13] DualBootToTheHea: ok no problem [17:13] The second drive you see is likely irrelvant. [17:14] DualBootToTheHea: focus with me [17:14] xubuntu75w: are there any wired connections in the list? [17:14] DualBootToTheHea: no it's not [17:14] Thank god he's not doing a RAID [17:14] whatever. [17:14] DualBootToTheHea: it's very important [17:14] Eric. [17:14] DualBootToTheHea: type sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [17:15] i did that. it indicated no progress or anything just new line at prompt [17:15] if you look at the boot report you can see that SDB1 contains the windows boot loader [17:15] Eric ^ [17:15] DualBootToTheHea: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [17:15] OerHeks: No, that workaround did not work [17:15] DualBootToTheHea: type the above line ^^ [17:15] * OerHeks wonders if that XP is running on IDE-mode instead of AHCI [17:15] you can see it is booting from the wrong/second disk [17:15] it's that clear [17:15] wildwind No, there aren't [17:15] sdb1 Boot files: /boot.ini /ntldr /NTDETECT.COM [17:15] EriC^^, They have grub in sda [17:15] islandmonkey, sad to hear that :-( [17:15] so it needs to boot from sda [17:16] it's that simple - there is no more work / debug needed [17:16] bubbasaures: i know [17:16] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [17:16] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [17:16] there is no need to mount any disks [17:16] the bios boot order is wrong [17:16] DualBootToTheHea: type sudo chroot /mnt [17:16] is there a way to swap alt and super? [17:16] ikonia: let him reinstall grub anyways [17:16] no [17:16] I've played a bit with various settings. Still my problem persists: some web pages load, some don't, some only patially; mail through thunderbird won't go out, but in. Networking is messed up - I don't know what to do. Please help! [17:16] that would be bad [17:16] ikonia: how so? [17:16] applying grub to the second disk - woudl remove his only windows boot loader [17:16] I have a question. i have two monitors and if i want to watch movie or youtube video on fullscreen on left monitor and if i mouseclick something on right monitor the fullscreen goes away. hmmm [17:16] k. i did that (no signs it did anything) Eric [17:17] timvisher, sure. system > keyboard > keybindings [17:17] ikonia: i mean installing to sda [17:17] not the second [17:17] EriC^^: it's already on sda [17:17] !keybindings | pilikeits [17:17] how i will prevent that to happen? [17:17] DualBootToTheHea: do you get a # prompt ? [17:17] we can see it's on SDA [17:17] rodney77: What program do you use to sync? Try MediaMonkey, it works with iPod an Android [17:17] yes [17:17] we don't need to apply it to sda - boot report shows it as on sda [17:17] it's booting from sdb [17:17] hold on Eric [17:17] DualBootToTheHea: type grub-install --recheck /dev/sda [17:17] you can see this [17:17] For Ikonia's sake: [17:17] cfhowlett, what you mean? [17:17] DualBootToTheHea: you're 2 commands away, and there's no harm doing it [17:18] there is [17:18] do not do iot [17:18] THIS is the PHYSICAL hardrive with BOTH OS on it: http://snag.gy/c8lFv.jpg [17:18] you have a sane grub [17:18] wildwind, MediaMonkey is fantastic, but the last time I checked there wasn't a native version for ubuntu [17:18] the other one you see (if you see it) IS irrelevant. Just FYI [17:18] ikonia: what's the harm in reinstalling grub to sda? [17:18] applying it to an already applied grub from an unknown chroot [17:18] fix the boot order [17:18] cfhowlett: meaning system settings -> keybord -> keybindings? because i don't see the keybindings option there [17:18] DualBootToTheHea: use the drop down - you will see there is an sdb [17:18] See? http://snag.gy/4gM40.jpg [17:18] in the top right [17:18] That is STORAGE [17:18] wildwind, to answer your question, I use Nightingal [17:18] Nightingale [17:18] DualBootToTheHea: but your boot loader is on the storage disk [17:18] SDB IS MY STORAGE DRIVE! [17:18] DualBootToTheHea: that is where it's booting from [17:18] LOOK AT IT [17:18] DualBootToTheHea: please stop the caps [17:19] DualBootToTheHea: that is where the boot laoder is [17:19] DualBootToTheHea: that is where it is booting from [17:19] how can you see that? [17:19] boot flags :) [17:19] wildwind I'm going to try the right click thing, I'll be right back... [17:19] DualBootToTheHea: in the boot report [17:19] DualBootToTheHea: you pasted it earlier [17:20] last couple of lines on bootrepair states this [17:20] Ok. fine. So do what now? [17:20] DualBootToTheHea: tell your bios to boot from the other disk [17:20] I really don't want a boot sector on my SDB drive though :( [17:20] DualBootToTheHea: so it boots grub instead of windows [17:20] But i guess that is maybe for another day. [17:21] Why would Ubuntu Install not ask if two phyhsical drives were present which to use? [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: it does ask you, you probably just missed it [17:21] Why wouldn't it make the LOGICAL choice and install on the same drive as the XP OS? [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: it did [17:21] nicofs: is there a page that fail to load every time? [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: it did [17:21] I just chose "install alongside XP" [17:21] hi all, in ubuntu 14.04 I am using gnome 3 flashback, how to get the gnome panels to autohide without the side effect of removing unity components, which I am unsure might break the system or prevent switching to unity if I want that later? [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: it installed it on the primary master [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: you are not booting from that drive though [17:21] does your xp have satacontroller drivers at all? so strange you installed xp on such new hardware .. with 32 bit satacontroller drivers, that makes me think your sata controller is in IDE mode [17:21] How is my storage drive the "primary master" if XP is on the other? [17:21] DualBootToTheHea: it can't know that you've told it to boot from the other disk [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: ubuntu is installed on the primary master, and so is grub [17:22] cfhowlett: or maybe you means xfce4-settings-editor [17:22] wildwind, always the same pages don't load - it's not random. most prominent page is facebook [17:22] Can you clarify what designates "primary master" [17:22] ? [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: your WINDOWS install installed the boot loader on the the second drive - so ask microsoft [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: it appears that your other storage drive has a boot loader [17:22] As the drive you are refering to has ONLY EVER contained music and files. [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: so ? [17:22] timvisher, I'm sorry, I thought you were on ubuntu no xubuntu ... [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: it would be better if you stopped arguing and started fixing [17:22] lol. [17:22] I'm trying to understand, not argue. [17:22] DualBootToTheHea: you've had it explained to you very clearly, and it's getting tedious you stating how wrong I am [17:23] I can't really proceed with anything until i am sure i understand WTF is going on. [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: so either fix it, and accept the truth of the issue, or give it a rest [17:23] i'm getting much closer now. THANK YOU [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: I've explained exactly what's going on [17:23] THANK YOU [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: you are booting from your second drive [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: windows bootloader is on the second drive [17:23] okay. that is unfortunate. :( [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: ubuntu has chosen to install it's bootloader to the drive with the OS on [17:23] you are not booting from that drive [17:23] DualBootToTheHea: the bootloader and partition table are only on the first 512bytes in mbr [17:23] your bios config is the problem [17:23] fix it [17:23] "fix it" not detailed enough for this idiot. [17:23] but thank you generally [17:24] DualBootToTheHea: open the bios - select the other disk from the boot drive order [17:24] Lixumux, it is in the shell as an addon, don't see anything on the fallback. [17:24] so when booting just choose the first drive probably F12 or go into bios and permanently change the order :) [17:24] DualBootToTheHea: use the temporary boot device menu that a lot of bioss have (normally F12) and seclect the other disk to test [17:25] ok. But if i want to move all that crap to the correct drive, that is basically a complete reinstall of both at this point? [17:25] DualBootToTheHea: no [17:25] DualBootToTheHea: no - but one thing at a time [17:25] Okay. I'll be back. Booted from drive 2. [17:25] DualBootToTheHea: what do you mean by remove all that crap? [17:25] I mean i want to get any boot stuff on to the other drive. [17:25] DualBootToTheHea: everything is fine it's just that sdb has a boot loader and your bios may be booting it [17:25] That TB drive should have no trace of an OS on it. [17:25] period. [17:25] DualBootToTheHea: it doesn't affect anything, it's just the first 512 bytes [17:26] Ok. So i'm gonna go swtich boot order and be back. [17:26] i think [17:26] yes? [17:26] DualBootToTheHea: you're actually in a very good configuration point [17:26] ^that's encouraging [17:26] nicofs: you can enable web developer tools in Firefox or Chrome and colect network requests log when loading that page. then paste it somewhere [17:26] thanks for tolerating my idiocy. [17:26] hmm. i'm still not seeing how to swap and using xfce4-settings-editor [17:27] assuming that's where i'm supposed to be [17:28] bubbasaures, when selecting to install gnome-shell or gnome-shell-extensions, it informs me that it will REMOVE such things as unity-controlcenter and gnome-flashback..., sounds scary... [17:29] timvisher, KEYBOARD > Layout [17:29] wildwind, nothing happening there apart from Method: GET and status PENDING [17:29] Question, is there anyway to downgrade from 12.04.5 to 12.04.4? [17:30] Yoko|Work: not really [17:30] Yoko|Work: why would you want to do that? [17:30] Yoko|Work, nope. reinstall. no rollback. [17:30] hi friends ... i have one problem that i couldnt find a solution for it the problem is when i watch youtube 1080p it shown like pictures or the sound spliting from video and my pcs cpu goes on 100 but on 720p its fine but also uses cpu between 90-96 i changed firefox cache its same thing im using ubuntu 14.04 .thx [17:30] NComputing software has to have 12.04.4 to work [17:30] Yoko|Work: which software [17:30] 12.04.5 breaks whatever they do [17:30] Yoko|Work: why exactly? [17:30] pavel_: what resolution is your monitor at? [17:30] rodney77: hmm, I had always thought MediaMonkey has Linux version. [17:31] pavel_, 1080 is more demanding than 720. could be your system isn't able to handle it. [17:31] Yoko|Work: you could downgrade a certain package or so [17:31] nicofs: can you post screenshot? [17:31] intel singel core 900 [17:31] I'll play around with it, it's just a test VM that has 12.04.5 installed [17:32] thanks! [17:32] Yoko|Work: what is the software you want to use [17:32] NComputing [17:32] vSpace Server [17:32] Release notes say 12.04.2, but I've got it to work in 04.4, but not 04.5 [17:33] Yoko|Work: what does it error out on? [17:33] but befor im switching to linux on windows was fine .then i have tested so many distributions its same with all just manjaro i can watch 1080p on normal screen but when i watch on full screen same problem .thx [17:33] wildwind, upload won't work. but console shows nothing except for "GET" and then status "Canceled" while no data whatsoever has been transferred... [17:33] I assume timeout [17:34] It doesn't really give any error in terminal, just says its uncompressing the installation, they returns to bash prompt [17:34] it should go through an install process and then ask to register the software === root is now known as Guest91947 [17:35] ai de ba di home [17:35] DualBootInThePoo: did it work? [17:35] YES... but... [17:35] hi guys. my audio just started sounding really warbly and has lots of artifacts when playing music with either amarok or just mplayer [17:35] i had to boot from SDA not SDB ? [17:35] great [17:36] yes [17:36] I am officially in a hard installed Ubuntu copy! [17:36] sorry is there anyone who can help me [17:36] DualBootInThePoo: so exactly what we told you [17:36] I will buy you all a cheap round of beer. [17:36] problem solved [17:36] ^thought you said to use SDB though? [17:36] either way. THANK YOU [17:36] DualBootInThePoo: it depends on the bios ordere against the OS order [17:36] thats why I kept saying the "other" disk [17:37] nicofs: maybe your ISP uses content filtering and it works bad. [17:37] okay. ... so this is "good to go" nothing else needed to scrub any OS junk off of SDB? [17:37] DualBootInThePoo: you don't need to change anything [17:37] you are in a good state now [17:37] when i change to Thunderbird's window launchpad and top tool bar items disapear, how to fix it (ubuntu 14.04LTS, unity 7.2.3) ? [17:37] ^you mean besides having XP on my computer, generally?

I want to use firefox and watch fullscreen youtube with left monitor. [17:40] bubbasaures, not sure what you mean? [17:41] how to make local repository and make it go from my own path in ftp using ubuntu 12.05 [17:41] bubbasaures, I have gnome3-team/gnome3-staging [17:41] Lixumux, What you describe makes no sense, so I'm trying to figure out how you got there. Extra repos add dependencies at times causing similar problems. [17:42] Lixumux, Sounds like a PPA. [17:42] bubbasaures, yes, that is a PPA that I needed to get gnome3 in the first place... [17:43] bubbasaures, should I remove that PPA after I installed gnome3? [17:43] Lixumux, We only support what is in the ubuntu repos not 3rd parties like PPA's, Here is the warning from the one you're using "The packages here have been deemed not ready for general use, they have known bugs and/or regressions," [17:44] !ppa-purge | Lixumux If you want to remove the ppa [17:44] Lixumux If you want to remove the ppa: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [17:44] how to make local repository using my own path in ftp://ipaddress in ubuntu 12.04 [17:44] !offline | Saleem i think this explains it [17:44] Saleem i think this explains it: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script.

[17:45] can we put ftp://then ip address/folder name [17:45] Lixumux, What release are you running? [17:45] Saleem: i think so [17:45] i am using 12.04 [17:46] bubbasaures, ubuntu 14.04 with gnome3 [17:46] Saleem: you might want to look into apt-cacher-ng perhaps... i'm not clear what you want though. [17:46] Lixumux, gnome 3 the shell and fallback are in the 14.04 repos, you just do not understand, you did not need the ppa. [17:46] Saleem: if ftp doesn't work http should [17:46] i want to install software using local repository instead of going to internet [17:46] cfhowlett: are we talking about this? http://i.imgur.com/kxs9wSq.png [17:47] Lixumux, And what you have installed we don;t support. [17:47] Hi. I want to backup the whole /home folder, but instead of having scheduled backups, I would like to have to whole map mirrorred on an external drive, pretty much like how you would have it with a cloud. So that every time I adjust/create/delete a file, the same happens on that external drive. What software can do this? [17:47] rr1991: You can do it natively with a bind mount in fstab [17:47] i need atlease step by step guide it will do it [17:47] bubbasaures, so what should I do to get a gnome3 standard/supported configuration? [17:48] im in shock now :D i did some googling and this problem A) has been around a long time B) is only fixable by "dirty hacks". There should be button in display settings to make it primary so that flash videos etc. will be fullscreen what ever you do in another screen. Hmm.. === lstblr is now known as lostblur [17:48] Lixumux, If all is good on your install beyond this use the ppa-purge, than install the gnome-shell it loads the fallback as well. [17:49] I have seen warnings online about some of the gnome3 installations removing parts of the system and making it unstable or not working. I want to be able to choose between unity and gnome3 at the login screen [17:49] Lixumux, I'm a bit concerned however you did not know this was in the repos, so we don't now how stable your setup is, be sure to be backed up. [17:50] bubbasaures, and the "fallback" is the function that provides a way to choose unity ? [17:50] Rory: is there graphical software for that? Too inexperienced to do this on an important system that is not mine. [17:51] Lixumux, No the fallback is what you said from the beginning you are running, you called it flashback. [17:51] These are all desktops [17:51] bubbasaures, I saw that it was in the repos, but several online articles said to add that PPA first and do an apt-get update before installing, including posts at ubuntu.com [17:52] !fstab | rr1991 [17:52] rr1991: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[17:52] !touch | rodney77 [17:52] Lixumux, You have to know what your doing not just install on someones word, you have to know the context. Is it an opinion, is it a need that is personal, is it vaild for support here. [17:52] rodney77: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [17:52] bubbasaures, right - so I should purge/remove that one, and then (re-)install exactly what from the repos?

Once i reboot the box its all working again. Any ideas?

Need to get to bed soon and my computer is my alarm clock. === Guest9784 is now known as Sleepnbum [18:37] arooni-mobile: ahh, curl -v === solsTiCe_ is now known as solsTiCe [18:38] anyone have an antivirus recommendation for Ubuntu? I wanna scan a windows disk [18:38] Hi guys, I am having problem with laptop battery on ubunut [18:38] ubuntu [18:38] When I switch users in 14.04, unity left bar is corrup. Its display is incorrect, up until I click the non-visible ubuntu icon and the dash opens, then everything is OK from then on. I'm using a nvidia 304 graphics driver with dual screen. Any clue on how to fix this? [18:39] its a new dell laptop and it gives charging around 6 hrs in windows and only 2 and half hours for ubuntu [18:39] Sleepnbum: the only one I know is clamav [18:39] Any suggestions ? [18:39] solsTiCe thanks! [18:40] srikar: you could try to install laptop-mode-tools that will provide ways tor educe power drain on the battery. [18:41] there is also TLP but you need a PPA I think [18:41] yeah I have read about that [18:41] srikar: yeah you might need to reconfigure something [18:42] does adding PPA might land us in trouble ? [18:42] from laptop-mode-tools [18:42] it doesn't load all its things by default [18:42] srikar u can also install PowerTop to see what's taking the power [18:42] oh ok thanks solsTiCe reisio [18:42] sure CosmicSpirit [18:42] thanks [18:42] srikar: there is also powertop that will help you track down the most poroblematic thing [18:43] oops. === matheus_ is now known as Guest21118 === Guest21118 is now known as GoTheuS [18:48] can someone say my name [18:49] monsieur savage [18:49] heh, too late, no patience [18:49] Mr_Sheesh: [18:50] err [18:50] That was fail on two levels. === Melliz_ is now known as Melliz [18:53] Greetings, everyone. I just installed some updates (on 14.04) and now my onboard soundcard isn't being recognized (already tried rolling back to the old kernel, no dice). Help, please? Need to get to bed soon and my computer is my alarm clock. [18:54] guys, i need help [18:54] i run a pc that has all of gnome installed [18:54] and i want to remove everything to slim the thing down to a server [18:55] kish: Does it run Ubuntu? [18:55] Mint server :-D === cyphase is now known as Guest47002 [18:57] bekks, of course! [18:57] heh. === pinnen_ is now known as pinnen [18:58] forgive me ahead of time as this may be a crazy question, but is there software for Ubuntu that provides an SFTP server that does not use users on the system? (i.e. it uses users set up in a configuration file/etc) [18:58] hi, i'm trying to find more detailed information about the integrated audio in my PC. the sound settings just say "built in audio" [18:59] lspci -vvv says "Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller" but i dont think intel makes audio controllers... [18:59] ulkesh, the answer is yes! [18:59] there is a ftp user usually [18:59] if i go to acer, the manufacturer's website, it just says 'realtek' but not which model [18:59] runs as a daemon. [19:00] kish: my point is that i'd like to have an sftp service that doesn't require me to `adduser`, but instead read user auth/config from a configuration file [19:01] kish: or `useradd`, rather [19:01] ses1984: Are you trying to find out because your onboard audio quit working, by chance? I have that same audio chip and it just stopped working after an update. [19:01] nope it's working fine, so far, i'm on 14.04 x64 up to date [19:01] hmm [19:01] ulkesh: Not that I know of. You would have to use a different method of authentication, such as LDAP or something. When you log in using SFTP, it needs a home directory, a user, and permissions. [19:01] i'm trying to find the specs on it, like what is the signal to noise ratio. basically i'm trying to decide if i should buy a better sound card [19:02] ulkesh: øu can use proftpd or vsftpd with a virtual user setup. [19:02] rypervenche: okay thanks, we may just have to add the users then and chroot them to the folder they would be allowed to upload files to...i was just hoping to avoid creating users in the system [19:02] bekks: oh okay, i'll check those out, thank you [19:02] ulkesh: you dont need to create system users :) [19:02] ses1984: if you install inxi (https://code.google.com/p/inxi/) it will display your current audio card setup. [19:03] thanks i'll try that [19:03] ses1984: squinty@ubuntu14041:~$ inxi -Ax [19:03] Audio: Card Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k3.13.0-40-generic [19:04] Anyone know anything about what the permissions sound be on the devices under /dev/snd? The HDMI device, which is working, has extended permissions assigned, while the onboard, which is not working, does not. [19:04] ses1984: type in inxi -Ax to see similar output to the above [19:05] it says the exact same thing as lspci Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller [19:05] i'm trying to find the specifications online and no luck [19:07] i dont know if the "intel" thing is just some OEM thing, because if you look up Aspire TC-605 on acer's website it says "realtek" under audio driver downloads === Lingo_ is now known as breakoutbit === XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater [19:08] that is my main clue that this is not an intel audio thing [19:08] Hi! I have problems registering on https://login.launchpad.net/. Captcha asks for two words, while picture shows house numbers. How do I solve this? [19:09] dabbeduller: they count numbers as words, just type the numbers [19:09] I did three times, but validation failed. === kpease_ is now known as kpease [19:11] dabbeduller: it can take a few tries, captchas are terrible [19:11] Captcha input field (text field) says "Type the two words" while the picture shows a single number. [19:11] Tell me about it, haha :) [19:11] dabbeduller: Can you show us that captcha? :) [19:11] i have an odd situation. when installing ubuntu 14.10, i have to set nomodeset in the kernel options... then my nvidia card doesnt function properly... when installing 14.04.1 i DONT have to set nomodeset and my video card works fine.. any ideas? [19:11] I guess i can upload a image to some image-site? === tcpman is now known as Guest98176 [19:13] anyone? [19:13] I need help trying to mount [19:13] oh wait wrong channel [19:14] bekks, here you go: http://i58.tinypic.com/2vkxg82.png [19:14] bynarie: afik you should be able to install with nomodeset and then use "Additional Drivers" to install the nvidia drivers. once installed tweak with nvidia X server settings [19:15] squinty, i know how to install the nvidia drivers, but they never load properly.. for example: when loading steam, i get an error about opengl not supported === konder is now known as Qoray [19:15] when i load the "nvidia-settings", i dont get all of the options [19:15] How to change alternative key? For example, when I press alt gr + D, I get “ . I would like to change that, so it prints another character. How to do that? [19:15] dabbeduller: So just generate a new captcha [19:16] I did about ten times. Keeps giving me numbers. === ross`_ is now known as ross` [19:16] the cron daemon is sending email, but the From: header is From: Cron Daemon . How can I specify my own From header? [19:16] squinty, wierd thing tho is that i did a dist-upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 and it still works fine... only when doing a fresh install of 14.10 it dont work [19:17] ..which won't validate. [19:17] IMO, 14.10 is faster for me [19:19] It doesn't work on https://login.ubuntu.com/ either. I don't think there will be many new Ubuntu One users before this is fixed.. [19:21] dabbeduller: fwiw, the capt displays words here. maybe try another browser or see if maybe one of your browser plugins is causing an issue [19:21] Sure, give me a sec :) [19:22] Nope, getting same error in different browser. [19:23] dabbeduller, if you cannot solve it,. hit the top icon to reload a new captcha [19:23] use the audio captcha [19:23] I reloaded about ten new captchas, all of which won't validate. [19:23] Okay, audio captcha it is. [19:24] hi guys [19:24] hi guy [19:24] got a new question [19:24] bensen123: prove it! [19:24] Does any one has experience with pptpd？I installed it in ubuntu，and it worked yesterday but failed today. I didn't change anything，but via the log I can't see any GRE [19:24] great! coz I'm gonna ^^ [19:25] have a kernel panic resuming after suspend [19:25] Doesn't accept audio captcha either. Anyway...How do I join the Norwegian documentation team?! [19:25] fog_proxy: Sure it's not a problem with the server? [19:25] Oh err [19:25] hmm let me give you more detail [19:25] Wait, is pptpd the server or the client? [19:25] but first got to look the pic to find the error [19:25] oh god [19:25] remembered [19:25] mei_me error [19:26] theadmin: I am not sure，but the server is vps setuped by myself [19:26] "setuped" [19:26] fog_proxy: I see === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:26] hi [19:26] thebomb [19:26] nikola_: hi [19:27] what's up :) [19:27] 'bout luncheon time [19:27] theadmin: the problem now is I don't know how to dig out the root cause [19:27] has anyone ever heard mei_me error while resuming from suspend mode? [19:28] If anyone's interested, I would like to share my solution for remapping alternative characters: All you need is to change file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. Of course, you should edit your layout. Mine was rs. [19:28] theadmin: logs give me too few info，even i enabled ppp debug [19:32] So yeah, there is an issue with registering on Ubuntu One.

The USB that has it installed isn't recognized and the USB that doesn't have it is recognized. I tried copying the files to the recognized USB but the computer still says "Missing Operating System".

But it says no OS even with a force boot from USB [20:24] FangornTheEnt: what does happens when you try to boot your usb [20:24] FangornTheEnt, in some bios types you need to set your usb in 2 places, boot priority and hdd priority [20:24] FangornTheEnt: sounds like the usb isnt set right indeed [20:24] OerHeks: I'll try that. [20:25] FangornTheEnt: Maybe the .iso is bad ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows . [20:25] FangornTheEnt, or try an other port [20:27] The bad USB isn't recognized on any port. The good USB is "Missing operating system" on all ports. Is there a way to copy the files so that it will boot? [20:27] FangornTheEnt: i rather think its like OerHeks said your bios is not set to boot usb everywhere [20:28] FangornTheEnt: check boot priority, boot sequence,etc [20:29] FangornTheEnt: you can check if your usb stick works on another machine? [20:30] Both USBs are recognized and work with the chromebook. The boot priority is set to USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk then USB CD/DVD ROM Drive then the Notebook HD [20:32] FangornTheEnt: did you check sata layout, some bios have settings there also [20:32] Should I enable boot from USB floppy? [20:32] no [20:32] FangornTheEnt: go tru all bios options, makes no sense it doesnt boot the usb [20:32] if you sure your usb stick has working ubuntu on it;.. [20:32] I have gone through all the options unless there's some hidden menu I can't see [20:33] FangornTheEnt: what mobo bios is this? [20:34] FangornTheEnt: try that plop boot manager write on a cdrom, and force your usb to boot [20:34] if that doesnt work, its a bad usb [20:35] Can I just extract the zip or do I need to do something else? [20:35] FangornTheEnt: burn as an image to the cd [20:36] FangornTheEnt: check on their site howto [20:36] Slight problem with that. I have Chromebook. The Chromebook can't do that afaik. [20:36] kk [20:36] FangornTheEnt: maybe the ##hardware guys might also know howto set usb first [20:37] bbl [20:42] FangornTheEnt, There must be a per-session boot menu? [20:42] bubbasaures: Nope. [20:42] is there a way to extract from nautilus that doesn't cache the result on the home drive?

[20:51] apt-get update waits already ~10 mins for an answer from it === richyrichrich is now known as Loshki [20:52] How do I force apt to reload package lists? [20:53] Bundestrojaner, That link is not the same as your security in the sources.list [20:53] slm [20:53] I have a system, where a normal apt-get update does not show the update for libc6 [20:54] !libc6 [20:54] jost: sudo apt-get update doesn't show anything, only sudo apt-get upgrade does [20:54] !find libc6 [20:54] bubbasaures: atm, it says "100% [Connected to security.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1360:8c01::18)]" (translated from german) [20:54] Found: libc6, libc6-arm64-cross, libc6-armel-armhf-cross, libc6-armel-cross, libc6-armhf-cross, libc6-dbg, libc6-dev, libc6-dev-arm64-cross, libc6-dev-armel-armhf-cross, libc6-dev-armel-cross (and 20 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libc6&searchon=names&suite=utopic§ion=all [20:55] Does anyone here have some nice script to save TMUX sessions ? [20:55] How do I upgrade to Duplicity 0.6.24? [20:55] Bundestrojaner, Dud you posted a web page, you do not understand. Change the repos [20:55] Dude* [20:55] guntbert: apt-get upgrade does not show an update for libc6, but the installed version is "2.19-0ubuntu6.3", the latest version is "2.19-0ubuntu6.4" [20:55] slm [20:55] It does not appear to be in the repository [20:56] Bundestrojaner: that sounds more like a network issue on your ISP? [20:58] I read that there was a bug in duplicity 0.6.23 [20:58] k1l: everything else works, and it read many repos succesfully. [20:58] jost: apparently you are on 14.04 while I am on 14.10 [20:58] guntbert: correct. [20:59] bubbasaures: i didn't post a website, i've only posted the last line from apt-get update [20:59] bubbasaures: and what is wrong with my repos? so this url doesn't belong there? [20:59] netlar: You could also try the duplicity-team PPA for version 7 [21:00] genii: Don't want to add another PPS [21:00] PPA [21:01] netlar: Then your othr option is to compile it yourself. [21:01] genii: Why is that version not in the repository? [21:01] is there better options besides mozillas thunderbird??? [21:02] rgb3 Welcome to the channel [21:02] richardjs Welcome to the channel [21:02] ejuan Welcome to the channel [21:02] rgb3: stop [21:03] holymac_ Welcome to the channel [21:03] netlar: Probably because 6.25 is the last release of that series and they are going to just go to 7 [21:03] Bundestrojaner, You may just need to change the repos called go the ubuntu software center click edit than software sources. Than first tab has a drop down "Download from choose other and let it find the best one. [21:04] netlar: But only the devs know for sure. [21:04] hmm how do i read this, was 0.6.24 not published ? https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+milestone/0.6.24 [21:04] genii: Just i read there is a corruption in 0.6.23 [21:04] bubbasaures: the security repo will not change [21:05] I am confused, thought 14.04 did updates to correct problems for 5 years [21:06] netlar: From http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ "Please NOTE: The 0.6 series is in the process of being deprecated and the 0.6.25 release is the last release of the series that will receive new additions or enhancements. It will continue to receive critical bug fixes to support distributions with long term support. The major focus of development will be on the 0.7 series." [21:07] genii: Ok, so I just need to wait for Ubuntu 14.04 to get 0.7? [21:07] netlar: That, or add the PPA as I said earlier [21:08] bubbasaures: thx :) [21:08] genii: I am wary of adding PPA's read they can create conflicts when upgrading to next Ubuntu release [21:09] guntbert, Really, I know that, any repos can be having issues is all an easy check. [21:09] netlar: Yes, when that happens, you need to run ppa-purge on them === _pelle is now known as Guest34475 [21:10] bubbasaures: I don't get your point - you told someone with problems getting updates from security.ubuntu.com to switch to another mirror - which will in no way remedy his problem with security.ubuntu.com [21:11] genii ok thanks [21:12] Bundestrojaner, Is the problem fixed? [21:12] bubbasaures: yes, it is. i chose another server from an university near me [21:13] I rest my case. ;) [21:15] bubbasaures: facts speak for themselves :-)) although I still don't get how that could help [21:19] <_war10ck_> I need some help with the update-alternatives for gcc [21:20] <_war10ck_> When switching versions, if I use sudo, it allows me to switch but does not allow when trying in non-sudo [21:20] <_war10ck_> Is it a proper behavious? [21:20] Yes. [21:20] You are not allowed to switch global alternatives as a user. [21:21] <_war10ck_> bekks: Even for gcc? [21:21] _war10ck_: for every global alternative. [21:22] <_war10ck_> bekks: hmm, I am using this alternatives portion only for gcc, okay cool - I will switch using sudo then [21:25] guntbert, we only got a partial link to security.ubuntu.com which shows us the web page not the sub are pointed at, to be honest you are just being a jerk, your arguement is and was not needed and is a waste of all our times. You have no specific explanation just criticism, I'm a longterm user, there were a number of variables there we just happened to get this fixed, could of just been any number of reasons. [21:25] and welcome to ignore [21:32] hello there [21:32] can someone check if i am trying to make a bootable usb the right way? [21:32] here is what i got [21:32] a flash stick [21:32] fat32, msdos partition table [21:32] then i am doing: [21:33] sudo dd if=/home/image.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4M [21:33] is that right? [21:33] the_tricky: that is wrong. you need to dd onto sdc not sdc1. and that will erase all that is on the ubs [21:33] *usb [21:34] so? [21:34] sudo dd if=/home/image.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M [21:34] is that right now? [21:34] if that is a ubuntu iso. they are hybrid isos and can be dd'ed, yes [21:35] sorry, what do you mean by "hybrid"? [21:35] and yes, that's ubuntu [21:35] if you take other OS isos they might not work after you used dd. but ubuntu isos do work [21:36] thanks a lot [21:36] and do i have to make it bootable by adding a flag? [21:36] how do i do that> [21:36] ? [21:36] no [21:36] the_tricky: Hybrid image files don't need to be converted from one type to another to boot properly. You can use the same image to make a DVD or use it to make a USB [21:37] genii: thanks a lot, that's the explanation i was looking for [21:37] anonymous is legation [21:39] and btw, is there a nice way to view dd progress? [21:40] i came across smth with process id [21:40] that sound weird [21:40] sounds [21:40] the_tricky: for i in $(pgrep -x dd); do kill -USR1 "$i"; sleep 10s; done [21:41] don't ask [21:41] dd as such doesnt have fancy progressbars etc. it just copies one bit from "if" and puts it into a bit on "of" [21:41] note that the progress will show in the term you have run dd at [21:41] some other dd implementations do progress, though [21:41] personally, I tend to watch the file size of where I'm writing [21:41] while(true); do du -hs path/to/newstuff; sleep 1m; done [21:41] 'cause the final file size is usually known...ish [21:42] and the total amount of data dd will process _can_ be misleading [21:42] the_tricky: if you know the size you can pipe it through pv [21:42] the_tricky: try sudo apt-get install pv -y === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [21:43] the_tricky: then sudo dd if=/home/image.iso | pv | of=/dev/sdc bs=4M [21:44] Chuck_Norris: interesting... /me notes [21:44] Chuck_Norris: wow, thanks for that -y flag, haven't heard before [21:44] Pici: xD [21:44] the_tricky: np [21:45] the_tricky: You might want to be careful of -y, if apt wants to do weird things, using that switch will do them without letting you review.

[23:06] SleepersTide: which package? [23:06] k1l: hexchat [23:06] how did you install hexchat? [23:06] from the ubuntu repos === Kryxo is now known as Kryptron [23:07] SleepersTide: How are you trying to upgrade? What is the exact message about removal of hexchat? [23:08] Jordan_U: using do-release upgrade or its frontend; it says "41 packages are going to be removed. 237 new packages are going to be installed. 2112 packages are going to be upgraded." [23:08] and hexchat is one of the ones to be removed [23:09] oops, *do-release-upgrade [23:10] that should not do that. [23:10] I tried setting the Lock Version option in synaptic but it didn't help [23:10] maybe just let it go and install hexchat afterwars [23:12] backup its folder first, it shoud be .hexchat -.- [23:12] SleepersTide: ---- [23:12] its not purging. so configs will stay [23:13] I'll back it up just in case [23:14] there seems to be a new version in the utopic repos, possibly there's a dependency conflict [23:18] LFM need 1 tank and 3 dps Soo HC full run wisper me [23:21] General release/package question: There's a package currently available in vivid that I'd like to use, but I'm on trusty. Is the only solution here to have the upstream maintainer make a new build for trusty or is there a way to make this work? [23:21] you will need a trusty package [23:22] vlad_, build it yourself? [23:22] see if a PPA is for trusty [23:22] OerHeks: It's a bit complicated, I'm creating cloud images for other people so I'd like for their systems to be maintainable [23:22] Happy to do that, but I'd prefer for them to be updatable if possible [23:22] xangua: ty so much dude [23:22] I got it [23:23] SleepersTide: Remove the lock before upgrading, as it will only make things more complicated (and you don't want to forget about it). [23:23] math695: did you made it¿ === math695 is now known as Ethoscience [23:23] yeah xangua [23:23] I downloaded mozplugger and I changed it in "preferences/applications" [23:24] SleepersTide: Unless having hexchat is really critical for you, I would just upgrade and try installing hexchat again post-upgrade. It's likely there will be some problem with installing it (or it wouldn't have been removed in the first place) but it will be easier to pin down the exact issue. [23:24] Jordan_U: too late, I'll sort it out after the upgrade [23:24] jhutchins: that link don't works since there isn't adobe for linux [23:25] Ethoscience: What Adobe product are you looking for? Acrobat is available for GNU/Linux (though I would recommend using Free alternatives instead). [23:25] Adobe reader. [23:26] Chuck_Norris: BTW hexchat's config is stored in ~/.config/hexchat [23:26] I was looking for a good pdf viewer. [23:26] I used to use okular [23:26] (and I'm still using it) [23:27] Ethoscience: It seems Acrobat for GNU/Linux actually has been discontinued since I last looked. [23:27] Oh, I've never seen it in inux [23:27] linux* [23:27] Anyway, I'm newbie on kubuntu. [23:27] (and Gnu/linux) [23:28] Ethoscience: Have you tried Evince? (It's the default PDF viewer in Ubuntu, though not in Kubuntu and some other flavors). [23:29] Yeah I've used it. [23:29] I think I prefer okular. [23:29] Ethoscience: What improvements are you looking for? [23:30] I'm not looking for anything in particular [23:30] Just cheking if there is another pdf viewer. [23:30] ?
