| MrSavage | hi all, i'm wondering how you actually use unity? | 00:15 |
| Chuck_Norris | MrSavage: hold super key | 00:16 |
| kostkon | !manual | 00:16 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 00:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | ("windows" key for windows users :p) | 00:16 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: what if i want a dedicated icon for a terminal that's holding Irssi? | 00:17 |
| MrSavage | Also how can I select the right window from a gropuing properly? I find it very convuluted and just takes longer | 00:17 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: make a .desktop file with the command gnome-terminal -e irssi | 00:17 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: but them anything run in gnome-terminal will be grouped with other gnome-terminals right? | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: you mean with alt+tab? | 00:18 |
| MrSavage | then* | 00:18 |
| creatorb | morning all... | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: no, just that icon | 00:18 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: with alt-tab and also clicking | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: with alt+tab use alt+` to switch between the groups | 00:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | MrSavage: gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new shortcut.desktop | 00:19 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| EriC^^ | Chuck_Norris: what's that? a unity-tweak command? | 00:19 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: where do i put the .desktop file? | 00:20 |
| MrSavage | desktop folder? :P | 00:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | EriC^^: no, that will pop up a windows for him to create a launcher | 00:20 |
| BUSY | ~ | 00:20 |
| EriC^^ | Chuck_Norris: i dont have that | 00:20 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: /usr/share/applications | 00:20 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: I find that so convuluted | 00:20 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: I have unity | 00:21 |
| MrSavage | i don't have that command | 00:21 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: use a desktop file in that directory as a template | 00:21 |
| MrSavage | I find it very convuluted to use alt-tab, then use using alt-` | 00:21 |
| EriC^^ | huh | 00:22 |
| Chuck_Norris | doh' i am on gnome and i have it, but EriC^^ will is telling you how to do it manually | 00:22 |
| EriC^^ | it's pretty easy | 00:22 |
| Chuck_Norris | gnome-shell* | 00:22 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: it just feels annoying for my hands to press and it seems like an extra step | 00:22 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: what you mean gnome-shell? | 00:23 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: if it was otherwise it would probably open up the stuff you didnt want | 00:23 |
| MrSavage | personally i would rather click then have to use keyboard shortcuts to manage many windows | 00:23 |
| rnms | hiiii | 00:24 |
| rnms | whats here | 00:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | MrSavage: it's a shell for gnome, like unity is a shell for gnome too -.- | 00:24 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: I don't mind double clicking for an application on the taskbar, but i notice if you click too many times it closes the window displays... | 00:24 |
| getoo | i have installed ubuntu on my macbook pro and now i am trying to put snow leopard back on it .. can anybody help me out please | 00:25 |
| getoo | i did try google with not much help | 00:26 |
| reisio | getoo: try #macosx | 00:26 |
| getoo | reisio: the funny thing is they sent me here | 00:26 |
| getoo | :) | 00:26 |
| getoo | and for some reason i think linux people know a lot more then #macosx peeps | 00:27 |
| reisio | that is funny | 00:27 |
| reisio | yeah, like they know the right channel :P | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | if you want to wipe ubuntu, they know howto do it with leopard. | 00:27 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: I mean what would i type to make the shortcut for unity? | 00:27 |
| getoo | i tried booting acording to the apple instruction but the installation wont beging and i get a beep :) | 00:28 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: open a terminal, type cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop /usr/share/applications/irssi.desktop | 00:29 |
| Chuck_Norris | MrSavage: idk, but you could create a keyboard shortcut i think | 00:29 |
| getoo | I'm using ERC Version 5.3 with GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.21, multi-tty) of 2013-10-25. | 00:29 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: then type gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/irssi.desktop and change the Exec part to gnome-terminal irssi | 00:29 |
| EriC^^ | sorry i mean gnome-terminal -e irssi | 00:29 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: you need sudo for the cp command | 00:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | well... i am going to watch "Manny Pacquiao vs Chris Algieri" n1 EriC^^ cya MrSavage | 00:33 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: putting "gnome-terminal irssi" doesn't work if i put it in the Exec. Nothing opens | 00:36 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 00:37 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: I mean the terminal opens, but no IRSSI | 00:37 |
| EriC^^ | gnome-terminal -e irssi | 00:37 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: It worked but the icon is getting grouped with my other terminals | 00:38 |
| in_deep_thought | I have a ubuntu iso file on a flash drive that I did the dd if = /Downloads/ubuntu iso of = /dev/disk1s2 thing with. How, when I put it into the computer, can I get it to boot from that so that I can install ubuntu | 00:38 |
| MrSavage | I'm not liking unity so far :( | 00:38 |
| adriantora | truqui | 00:38 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: set the bios to boot the usb first | 00:39 |
| in_deep_thought | EriC^^: is the bios on F12? | 00:39 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 00:39 |
| MrSavage | DELETE FOR ME | 00:39 |
| MrSavage | F12 for boot menu | 00:39 |
| in_deep_thought | hmm my bios didn’t give me any boot options. | 00:40 |
| MrSavage | in_deep_thought: you have to hold down the key until it comes up, from bootup | 00:40 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: check the boot options in the bios | 00:41 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: you can change the order permanently | 00:41 |
| in_deep_thought | It says a bunch of text, and then press Ctrl R to change boot options. Then it takes me to a purple screen with ubuntu versions (previous install). I don’t think im on the bios yet | 00:42 |
| in_deep_thought | it keeps giving me the Power Edge expandable raid controller bios. whatever that is. The only option is Ctrl-R and it takes me to that purple screen, not the real bios. | 00:45 |
| in_deep_thought | perhaps this is a better question for #linux? | 00:45 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: try a different keyboard button | 00:46 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: try pressing esc when the pc boots see what you get | 00:47 |
| daftykins | in_deep_thought: disk1s2 didn't sound right. (not only for sounding like a nasty Mac) but how about testing that drive in a normal system to see it boots, before wrestling with some antique? ;) | 00:51 |
| in_deep_thought | daftykins: I have another working ubuntu comptuer. maybe if I do the whole dd thiing from a /dev/sdb or whatever, it will be bootable? | 00:52 |
| daftykins | yeah, or just test it on that system too | 00:53 |
| daftykins | make sure the drive is known good before experimenting in the funky system | 00:53 |
| daftykins | but entering a BIOS really ought not to be to difficult | 00:53 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: why would you dd your /dev/sdb? | 00:53 |
| daftykins | i believe in_deep_thought means the ISO onto /dev/sdb if that were the flash drive :) | 00:54 |
| in_deep_thought | EriC^^: I mean that when doing the dd line I have to use of = /dev/disk1s2 because its moving from a mac. Maybe if I moved it from a ubuntu machine where the flash drives are labeled /dev/sdb it would work better | 00:55 |
| in_deep_thought | I have no idea why, sounds like it might work better though | 00:55 |
| in_deep_thought | but yeah if I can’t enter the bios on the machine I am trying to install on, I am kind of screwed anyways | 00:55 |
| daftykins | i can't say i understand mac disk naming enough to say what it would be on there | 00:56 |
| MrSavage | Chuck_Norris: You still there? | 00:56 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: ok, not sure but i think it should be /dev/disk1 | 00:57 |
| EriC^^ | i think /disk1s2 means the second partition of disk1 | 00:57 |
| EriC^^ | not sure | 00:58 |
| pyrotix | So I can't update anything through the software updater. It keeps trying to tell me to check my internet connection. I tried a couple mirrors and this didn't change. Trying "select best server" gave me a server in China which also did not work | 00:59 |
| pyrotix | ping -c3 archive.ubuntu.com works with no lost packets | 00:59 |
| daftykins | pyrotix: forget silly GUI updaters, "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal and pastebin it to us. | 00:59 |
| in_deep_thought | EriC^^: yes I think you’re correct. I will re-flash it or whatever its called. I still need to get to that bios however, hmmmm | 01:00 |

| OerHeks | MrSavage, carefull with ppa's, they can break something, and are unsupported here | 01:16 |

| Yaazkal | What to check? user is on the lp group | 01:24 |
| Yaazkal | Epson TM-U220 is the printer | 01:25 |
| MrSavage | i did apt-get install wine, how bad was that? | 01:27 |
| MrSavage | bubbasaures: I found out the reason why i couldn't install linux | 01:27 |
| bubbasaures | MrSavage, Cool, what was it? | 01:28 |
| bubbasaures | lyle, I like the cairo-dock as an extra place for icons, however I don't use unity | 01:29 |
| MrSavage | bubbasaures: I had 1 monitor plugged into my graphics card, and 1 monitor plugged into my mobo. It was making ubuntu freak out and it still does | 01:29 |
| MrSavage | bubbasaures: I haven't submitted the bug yet | 01:29 |
| MrSavage | I'm still trying to get ubuntu setup | 01:30 |
| MrSavage | well customized | 01:30 |
| bubbasaures | ah, the hidden variable hehe heh | 01:30 |
| MrSavage | So is apt-get install wine a bad idea? | 01:31 |
| MrSavage | am i installing uneccsassary stuff? | 01:31 |
| bubbasaures | Good job though, that was hard work for you MrSavage | 01:31 |
| MrSavage | bubbasaures: it was easy, i installed it via uefi, the monitor bug was just wow | 01:31 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: either way it's not bad like Windows bad where you'll be left over with a ton of crap - it's easy enough to remove | 01:32 |
| bubbasaures | no fanboi tones there, lol | 01:33 |
| MrSavage | i have alot of stuff needed | 01:33 |
| * jmadero isn't ashamed at all :-b | 01:33 | |
| MrSavage | I need to make a separate icon for IRSSI so it's not grouped with other terminals gnome-terminal --disable-factory --class term-red --name term-red --title Term-Red --window-with-profile=red -e '/home/virtual/Desktop/test1.sh' | 01:33 |
| jmadero | I really wish Unity prioritized locally installed software over anything else for the universal search - without that, it's about half as useful | 01:34 |
| MrSavage | and I need to somehow get IRSSI to play sounds when my name is said | 01:34 |
| MrSavage | also why can't the file browser remember my zoomed in levels for a folder? I want to view pictures at a very zoomied in level, but it keeps resetting and generating thumbnails | 01:34 |
| bubbasaures | well the ability to communicate clearly without bias is a developmental issue | 01:34 |
| EriC^^ | jmadero: try super+a | 01:35 |
| jmadero | EriC^^: ah that's useful - but still would be best if it searched everything but just prioritized software over things like wiki | 01:35 |
| jmadero | bubbasaures: I see no reason to hide bias here | 01:35 |
| MrSavage | also how do i get the terminal title bar to show what directory i'm in or what program i'm running? | 01:35 |
| jmadero | and bias based on objective criteria isn't really bias | 01:35 |
| jmadero | anyhoo that's off topic | 01:36 |
| jmadero | EriC^^: thanks for that shortcut | 01:36 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: i think you can set that in the profile | 01:36 |
| jmadero | EriC^^: do you know if I can default just super to that, and then have super+a to do an "all" search? | 01:36 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: i tried look but it doesn't show | 01:36 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: yeah it's not doing it | 01:37 |
| MrSavage | also i'm not really liking how it's hard to navigate multiple instances of a process | 01:37 |
| MrSavage | why doesn't 3 clicks on one icon in taskbar make it stay on window selection? It would've been ok | 01:37 |
| MrSavage | isntead it cancels window selection if you click too much | 01:38 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: you could set the irssi profile to have irssi as a title, and set it to keep the initial title | 01:38 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: I want my current viewed directory to show, along with the process currently running if there is one | 01:38 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: It only says "Terminal" | 01:38 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: change the initial title to Irssi | 01:39 |
| MrSavage | also another strange thing i noticed. I see an instance of filebrowser, i try clicking the instance on taskbar but it starts a new instance | 01:39 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: But what if I'm using cd to get around and i'm doing terminal stuff? I want to differentiate the terminals i'm in | 01:40 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: yeah that happens if you've opened an ext hdd with it | 01:40 |
| D3V | does ubuntu cover kubuntu aswell? | 01:40 |
| jmadero | D3V: you mean the chat? | 01:40 |
| D3V | yes | 01:40 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: Is there a way so it doesn't do such an annoying bug like thing? | 01:40 |
| jmadero | most is the same outside of the DE, so probably ;) | 01:40 |
| D3V | its a plasma issue :| | 01:41 |
| jmadero | ah, maybe try #kde | 01:41 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: I would rather have 1 icon instead of an icon for each of my 4 HDDs | 01:41 |
| MrSavage | takes up too much space | 01:41 |
| D3V | thanks | 01:41 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: set irssi just for the profile you created for irssi | 01:41 |
| mori | is there any chances to repartition curently working Ubuntu system? | 01:41 |
| jmadero | mori: gparted | 01:41 |
| jmadero | with a live distro | 01:41 |
| jmadero | mori: highly recommended to backup | 01:41 |
| mori | will I lose my data? | 01:41 |
| bubbasaures | mori, Can you be exact in what you mean? | 01:41 |
| jmadero | mori: you shouldn't, but there's always a chance | 01:41 |
| EriC^^ | jmadero: not sure how you could do that | 01:42 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: Should I use mounts then to avoid the weird taskbar bug? | 01:42 |
| jmadero | mori: how is your current setup? All in one partition? Split home from root? | 01:42 |
| mori | yup | 01:42 |
| jmadero | yup what? | 01:42 |
| mori | default partitioning provided by ubunt installer | 01:43 |
| jmadero | mori: ah, if you ever redo it, probably best to split it up | 01:43 |
| jmadero | saves a lot of pain | 01:43 |
| jmadero | or at least that's my experience | 01:43 |
| === Shaun__ is now known as Shaun | ||
| mori | is there any guide showing how to partition "in a right way", swap, home ,/, boot and so on | 01:44 |
| jmadero | mori: you'll get a ton of opinions about what is right and wrong | 01:44 |
| jmadero | mori: but generally I just separate home from root always | 01:45 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: what do you mean by mounts? | 01:45 |
| mori | jmadero, i see | 01:45 |
| jmadero | mori: I can format and reinstall everything with all configuration ready to go in about 25 minutes using a script | 01:45 |
| EriC^^ | MrSavage: manually mounting it? | 01:45 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: Using /mnt/ | 01:45 |
| jmadero | others split boot also - I haven't found that to be useful personally | 01:45 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: So I trick unity into thinking it's accessing my computer and not whatever device. So when i click filebrowser IT THEN ACTUALLY GOES TO THE OPEN FILE BROWSER AND NOT MERELY OPEN A NEW INSTANCE. | 01:46 |
| MrSavage | seriously, that's ridiculous | 01:46 |
| jmadero | mori: if you just google "separate home root partition ubuntu" you'll find plenty of blogs and how tos | 01:46 |
| jmadero | mori: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installseparatehome | 01:46 |
| mori | jmadero, tyvm | 01:46 |
| bubbasaures | there is a ubuntu wiki on that | 01:46 |

| MrSavage | maybe i should use a different file browser anyways? Since this file browser doesn't remember my zoom levels either | 01:48 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: set the zoom level in preferences | 01:50 |
| jmadero | else it reverts | 01:50 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: but in all honesty I think nemo browser is better than Nautilus - so if you're using a different one, maybe try that | 01:50 |
| mindless_chaos | I was having trouble finding nemo | 01:52 |
| MrSavage | jmadero: I only want the zoom to be remembered for ONE folder | 01:52 |
| MrSavage | for a certain folder | 01:52 |
| MrSavage | EriC^^: Thanks for the workaround | 01:52 |
| jmadero | ah, let me see if Nemo does that | 01:52 |
| jmadero | one minute | 01:52 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: nemo does that | 01:52 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: allows you to do list/icon view + zoom level, per folder | 01:53 |
| MrSavage | alright so do i do apt-get install nemo? I'm always unsure if i'm supposed to pick a certain thing | 01:53 |
| MrSavage | or if i'm installing apps right | 01:53 |
| jmadero | MrSavage: I believe it's nemo-browser | 01:53 |

| MrSavage | the proper names for packages? | 01:54 |
| jmadero | ah no it's not | 01:54 |
| jmadero | sorry, it's nemo | 01:54 |
| jmadero | it's chromium-browser ;) | 01:54 |
| xangua | o_O nemo is a file browser, chromium is an internet browser | 01:54 |
| jmadero | indeed - but the -browser is unique to chromium ;) | 01:55 |
| jmadero | that was m ypoint | 01:55 |

| DarkAceXtreme | what's the best way to run a program with its own new config folder? (instead of using its default usually located in ~ or ~/.config) | 02:05 |
| bubbasaures | DarkAceXtreme, That config is modified as you modify, it's not default unless you leave it that way in general. | 02:10 |

| retroispresto | I'm running ubuntu 14.04.4 | 02:12 |
| retroispresto | *8.04.04 | 02:12 |
| retroispresto | woops | 02:12 |
| retroispresto | i'll pastebin it | 02:12 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: 8.04? | 02:12 |
| jmadero | that's incredibly EOL | 02:12 |
| retroispresto | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/9360644/ | 02:13 |
| retroispresto | That is the md5sum.txt on my hardy cd | 02:13 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: is there a question somewhere that I missed? | 02:13 |
| EriC^^ | ok.. | 02:14 |
| retroispresto | ummm, yes! what are the minimum requirements to upgrade? | 02:14 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: well first off, I never recommend upgrading, vs. just starting fresh | 02:15 |
| zykotick9 | retroispresto: i think, you should back up your data, and reinstall with something supported... YMMV | 02:15 |
| bubbasaures | retroispresto, About a weeks worth of survival supplies. | 02:15 |
| mindless_chaos | upgrade? From 8!? whoa, I'd clean install | 02:15 |
| jmadero | yes definitely | 02:15 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: I'd be shocked if you could upgrade all the way to 14.04 without breaking everything | 02:15 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: as for requirements: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 02:15 |
| mindless_chaos | damn I broke everything by upgrading from 12 to 13 | 02:15 |
| jmadero | I break everything all the time ;) that's why I separate home from root | 02:16 |
| mindless_chaos | of course nothing was standard | 02:16 |
| jmadero | 14.10 was garbage on my system, fortunately only 30 minutes to be back to 100% functional with 14.04 | 02:16 |
| mindless_chaos | yes yes, always have a partition for home | 02:16 |
| bubbasaures | okay okay the personal stories are off topic | 02:16 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: that have the info that you need? | 02:16 |
| retroispresto | what bubby said ^ | 02:16 |
| retroispresto | "700 MHz processor (about Intel Celeron or better)" | 02:17 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: that link has the system specs, just probably backup to begin with because I doubt it'll work for you to upgrade | 02:17 |
| retroispresto | Impressive, my cpu is an intel celeron m | 02:17 |
| retroispresto | Lol | 02:17 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: how fast? | 02:17 |
| retroispresto | 700mhz | 02:17 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: would not recommend it | 02:17 |
| jmadero | I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu 8.04 either though | 02:18 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: try something lighter | 02:18 |
| mindless_chaos | download and run it in live CD and see how it does | 02:18 |
| mindless_chaos | DSL | 02:18 |
| mindless_chaos | ? | 02:18 |
| jmadero | it'll run but it'll be tediously slow | 02:18 |
| jmadero | I've run 12.10 on a 750mhz machine before, it ran but wasn't fun | 02:18 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: look for light weight distros, you can find some based on ubuntu that are pretty snappy | 02:19 |
| mindless_chaos | how about LXLE? | 02:19 |
| jmadero | or Bodhi ;) my preference, requires 300 mhz | 02:20 |
| bubbasaures | jmadero, Bro, you jump on any post and 3/4 or more of your response is your life story, all while whom your addressing just sits there no answer. | 02:20 |
| MrSavage | How can I get unity to snap and resize windows into a grid of 4? | 02:20 |
| jmadero | bubbasaures: I thought that was on point "bro" - please don't call me that btw | 02:20 |
| retroispresto | oki | 02:20 |
| bubbasaures | this is support | 02:20 |
| jmadero | bubbasaures: I suggested he try a lighter distro, gave him a suggestion based on his system | 02:21 |
| jmadero | I supported | 02:21 |
| jmadero | he replied "oki" -- seems like it added to the discussion bro | 02:21 |
| bubbasaures | jmadero, You also cannot reflect in any manner, you just defend, grow up. | 02:21 |
| jmadero | bubbasaures: thanks for not calling me bro | 02:21 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: all in all - you could try a live boot, it might work to your likings, else there are options out there for you | 02:22 |
| retroispresto | okay | 02:22 |
| retroispresto | thanks everyone | 02:22 |
| kostkon | retroispresto, xubuntu or lubuntu would be a sensible choice | 02:23 |
| jmadero | good luck :) | 02:23 |
| jmadero | kostkon: be careful room cop might say you're off topic | 02:23 |
| retroispresto | can i upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to lubuntu 14.10? | 02:23 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: nah you'd have to start from scratch (backup remember) | 02:23 |
| bubbasaures | jmadero, Many others here have questioned you I'm just the only one directly. | 02:24 |
| mindless_chaos | I may be treading here, but I didn't see anything j* said that wasn't on topic.... | 02:24 |
| jmadero | mindless_chaos: no need to defend me :) but thanks | 02:24 |
| jmadero | I know I didn't say anything off topic | 02:24 |
| mindless_chaos | retro* if you are going to eventually do a clean install of something, you might as well try, but backup everything, because more then likely it will break it | 02:24 |
| mindless_chaos | so much has changed from 8 until now... | 02:24 |
| retroispresto | okay | 02:25 |
| * mindless_chaos was just sayin, cuz he was confuse at what was going on. | 02:25 | |
| retroispresto | I could download 10.04 and then 12.04? | 02:25 |
| jmadero | anyone have an opinion about NFS with streaming ? | 02:25 |
| jmadero | in another room someone said NFS "wasn't designed for streaming" and that's what's causing my issues . . . I can't find evidence of this claim | 02:25 |
| mindless_chaos | like I said, you could try, but your better off backing up and clean install | 02:25 |
| retroispresto | thanks | 02:25 |
| mindless_chaos | are you familiar with live cd? | 02:26 |
| jmadero | mindless_chaos: he/she left | 02:26 |
| mindless_chaos | most distro's have that now, which means ..... the wall is a good listener.... | 02:26 |
| === diana is now known as Guest28574 | ||
| bmercer | I just want you all to know that this fucking shitty software overwrote an entire disk instead of installing over windows 7 like the installer said | 02:27 |
| EriC^^ | bmercer: did you press reinstall ubuntu? | 02:28 |
| mindless_chaos | then you did something wrong, or there was something wrong with your MBR to begin with | 02:28 |
| mindless_chaos | or that.. | 02:28 |
| xangua | installing over windows 7 sounds like installing OVER windows 7 as you said bmercer | 02:28 |
| bmercer | yes, except it installed a separate disk I had in my machine | 02:28 |
| mindless_chaos | oh, then it may not have overwrote windows, just didn't add it to grub | 02:29 |
| mindless_chaos | you just have to fix your windows MBR | 02:29 |
| bmercer | no, it was supposed to overwrite windows, and overwrote my other disk instead | 02:29 |
| mindless_chaos | oic | 02:29 |
| bmercer | my data is gone, and the installer is stupid | 02:29 |
| EriC^^ | bmercer: how do you know that | 02:29 |
| jmadero | and how is that a support question | 02:29 |
| EriC^^ | bmercer: which disk are you booting in the bios? | 02:30 |
| mindless_chaos | if it did indeed overwrite you can probably still recover a majority of files | 02:30 |
| EriC^^ | yeah ^^ | 02:30 |
| mindless_chaos | no doubt the installation was smaller then what was there | 02:31 |
| mindless_chaos | I have seen it happen before, but wont promis, but I have created the same size partition in the same place, and not formated, and poof stuff was there, granted Ill stuff, but it was there | 02:32 |
| bmercer | it's not likely to happen, what it overwrote was setup with fdisk, *and* disklabel | 02:32 |
| bmercer | and... it was an ssd | 02:33 |
| jmadero | you can still recover it - it's not fun to do but it's possible | 02:33 |
| mindless_chaos | unless you specify to over write blocks, it will not erase, just overwirte where it needs, but not all | 02:33 |
| jmadero | bmercer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 02:33 |
| k2gremlin | I really love how easy it is to update Ubuntu Server :) | 02:34 |
| bmercer | yes, off to restore from backups | 02:34 |
| jmadero | bmercer: it takes a lot to actually delete data, when you format you're really not deleting anything, it only tells the system "you can write over these blocks if you need to" | 02:34 |
| jmadero | ah that's better ;) | 02:35 |
| jmadero | glad you have those | 02:35 |
| mindless_chaos | **** has backups and is *&#&$# | 02:35 |
| mindless_chaos | sheesh | 02:35 |
| jmadero | what's the proper rsync command if I don't want to preserve ownership/permissions | 02:35 |
| mindless_chaos | just popped in to complain i see | 02:35 |
| jmadero | was pretty obvious at the beginning ;) | 02:36 |
| mindless_chaos | he had to have something hinkey with his hardware if the installer decided the other disk was appropriate | 02:37 |
| jmadero | mindless_chaos: I'm sure the problem was the person sitting in the chair, but you never want to say that - especially after loss of data which is no fun | 02:38 |
| jmadero | mindless_chaos: and let's not forget the huge warning about backing up before the installer even lets you move forward | 02:38 |
| mindless_chaos | HAHA | 02:38 |
| retroispresto | i'm going to try upgrading to 12.04.5 after the iso is done downloading and i burn it to usb | 02:39 |
| mindless_chaos | did you backup? | 02:39 |
| retroispresto | yus | 02:39 |
| mindless_chaos | have at it hos | 02:40 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: I'll be really curious about how that goes - please report back once you're done | 02:40 |
| jmadero | for future support reference | 02:40 |
| retroispresto | okay | 02:40 |
| retroispresto | there is a possibility it might not give me the 'upgrade' option o.o | 02:41 |
| mindless_chaos | Yes, but if it breaks, you should as suggested before, that when you clean install you make a partition to mount your home directory. | 02:41 |
| jmadero | retroispresto: I'm just curious why you're doing it this way to begin with vs. the clean install, but so is your right to try ;) | 02:41 |
| xangua | retroispresto: it will not, 100% | 02:42 |
| xangua | also you were told about Lubuntu already, instead of Ubuntu | 02:42 |
| mindless_chaos | because if you ever break it again, you can install clean, then mount your home and update in fstab so it mounts at boot | 02:42 |
| jmadero | does a cd/usb install even offer an upgrade option? I've never seen that | 02:43 |
| mindless_chaos | yeah I believe so | 02:43 |
| mindless_chaos | yes it does, because b4 I installed 14.04 I broke 13 by upgrading | 02:44 |
| mindless_chaos | but it was expected | 02:44 |
| mindless_chaos | it should ask you if you want to upgrade if it detects an ubuntu installation present | 02:45 |

| IbsinRG | Evening all | 02:46 |

| IbsinRG | I really, really, really would love some help on some descion making here | 02:46 |
| jmadero | IbsinRG: hi there | 02:46 |
| jmadero | IbsinRG: be prepared for a thousand opinions if it's a subjective thing ;) | 02:46 |
| IbsinRG | I, no matter what I try, cannot seem to stick with one distro. I've tried ubuntu, ubuntu Gnome, Deepin, Mint, Cruncbang, Kubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE. | 02:47 |
| IbsinRG | I want to just find one and stay with it DX | 02:47 |
| jmadero | that really comes down to personal preference | 02:47 |
| retroispresto | Oh god | 02:48 |
| * retroispresto hides | 02:48 | |
| jmadero | IbsinRG: suggest ubuntu-offtopic | 02:48 |
| somsip | IbsinRG: this is looking like an offtopic issue. Is this anything to do directly with ubuntu support? | 02:48 |
| jmadero | I think that's the room | 02:48 |
| daftykins | IbsinRG: that's nice but it's not an ubuntu support question | 02:48 |
| castiel | debian ist top, also Archelinux | 02:48 |
| IbsinRG | Nope, how do I get to offtopic? | 02:48 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:48 |
| somsip | IbsinRG: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:48 |
| jmadero | same way you got here just join that one | 02:48 |
| mindless_chaos | heres the solution.. get a bunch of usb pen drives, install each distro directly to USB drive. Then just plug in which you want to use, and select to boot from usb | 02:49 |
| castiel | lol | 02:49 |
| retroispresto | ^ what mindless_chaos said except with sd cards | 02:49 |
| retroispresto | lol | 02:49 |
| mindless_chaos | I'd type it out for you, but I don't want to go to off topic.... | 02:50 |
| daftykins | except you can't always boot SD cards | 02:50 |
| daftykins | and they'd all be slow and die | 02:50 |
| mindless_chaos | you can if you have the SD card in a usb card reader | 02:50 |
| castiel | +1 | 02:50 |
| daftykins | nope, that's system dependant | 02:51 |
| mindless_chaos | I have a key ring, with 4 key chain USB drives, each with a distro on it | 02:51 |
| castiel | mandrake still exist? | 02:51 |
| daftykins | not for years i don't think | 02:51 |
| daftykins | it became mandriva then... who knows | 02:51 |
| mindless_chaos | oh man, i remember mandrake | 02:51 |
| castiel | xD | 02:51 |
| retroispresto | mandrake? <3ed it | 02:51 |

| reisio | regardless of user | 03:30 |
| reisio | so that's /home/ and /root/ (does Ubuntu use /root/ ?) | 03:30 |
| reisio | wherever root's ~/ is | 03:31 |
| MrMonkey311 | reisio: rly? why is that? | 03:31 |
| reisio | and if it's a server, a lot of things in /etc/ _can_ be sensitive | 03:31 |
| reisio | MrMonkey311: that's just where personal data is kept | 03:31 |
| reisio | ssh keys :) goat porn :) other things | 03:31 |

| MrMonkey311 | ohhhh well I was only asking re: things that I wouldn't /know/ were tied to me or my system. but point taken! | 03:33 |
| reisio | well you gotta at least skim stuff :) | 03:33 |
| reisio | there's no substitute for reading, alas | 03:33 |
| reisio | if you're rushed, you can do something like | 03:33 |
| MrMonkey311 | reisio: but nothing like getting hacked through the secrets that your xorg.conf has revealed I take it | 03:34 |
| reisio | egrep -i 'username|realFirstName|realLastName|pr0n|goat' path/to/file | 03:34 |
| reisio | and it'll tell you if those strings occur in it | 03:34 |
| reisio | don't um, don't grep for your password, though :) | 03:34 |
| reisio | and don't save passwords in plain text :D | 03:34 |
| reisio | MrMonkey311: unheard of :) | 03:34 |
| reisio | a xorg.conf could... I mean it could indicate where, for example, a VNC password file is | 03:35 |
| reisio | BUT | 03:35 |
| reisio | VNC is already insecure by default | 03:35 |
| reisio | and everyone knows where those files tend to be kept anyways | 03:35 |
| reisio | and they'd still need access to your system | 03:35 |

| Striking71 | Ben64 I have a raid5 with 3 disks and it got corrupted | 04:14 |
| Striking71 | Ben64 this is actually a friend's system. He had it "recovered" by a local shop before I could get to it | 04:15 |
| Ben64 | Striking71: ooh, i don't know much about raid. normally i would check logs for IO errors, check smart data, fsck | 04:15 |
| Striking71 | so I don't have specific error messages and didn't get a chance to check logs and the like before it was messed with | 04:15 |
| Striking71 | Yeah, I just found a post about smartctl on the ubuntu forums | 04:15 |
| Striking71 | I'm trying that out | 04:16 |
| Ben64 | although SMART says my drive is fine, but it is just about dead | 04:16 |
| Ben64 | so i wouldn't rely on that | 04:16 |
| Ben64 | currently ddrescue'ing at a whopping 16K/s read speed | 04:16 |
| reisio | smart is utterly useless :) | 04:19 |
| reisio | no matter what it says, your actions will be unchanged | 04:19 |
| reisio | it could be theoretically useful if you have a ridiculous amount of drives | 04:20 |
| reisio | if you were google or the like | 04:20 |
| reisio | but even then only the quickest test would be worth the time | 04:20 |
| MrSavage | Hi all | 04:20 |
| reisio | and on that level, you're probably replacing old drives with new ones before they're even broken | 04:20 |
| reisio | MrSavage: heyo | 04:20 |
| MrSavage | I'm wondering why is it that when I scroll it scrolls what I don't want? In terminal I get a scroll of previous commands instead of the actual terminal buffer | 04:21 |
| MrSavage | in xchat, i get a scroll of the text input as well, but not the buffer of the chat | 04:21 |
| MrSavage | why is this happening? | 04:21 |
| reisio | MrSavage: ...using a touchpad? | 04:22 |
| MrSavage | reisio: no | 04:22 |
| MrSavage | but i did install imwheel | 04:22 |
| MrSavage | due to scrollspeed being so slow | 04:22 |
| reisio | maybe it needs more configuring | 04:22 |
| Striking71 | Ben64 I used the "badblocks" command but it took forEEEEEVER so I interrupted it | 04:23 |
| MrSavage | reisio: I don't know how to configure it | 04:23 |
| reisio | dpkg -L imwheel | 04:23 |
| reisio | Striking71: also pointless | 04:24 |
| zivester | hah i updated xubuntu to 14.10 and all my windows are purple... is that normal? | 04:24 |
| reisio | why spend time on something that is already broken | 04:24 |
| reisio | it's not a human being | 04:24 |
| reisio | replace it | 04:24 |
| daftykins | why do we always get people running badblocks o0 | 04:24 |
| reisio | more time than sense | 04:24 |
| daftykins | Striking71: who told you to run it? | 04:24 |
| Striking71 | resio - because of the 3 drives only 1 may be bad | 04:24 |
| Striking71 | Or none | 04:24 |
| Striking71 | daftykins: nobody, I'm sort of driving blind | 04:24 |
| Striking71 | I'm new to data recovery and raids | 04:25 |
| reisio | Striking71: doesn't matter | 04:25 |
| reisio | your time is not worth knowing which is bad | 04:25 |
| reisio | replace them all | 04:25 |
| reisio | you'll need more drives eventually anyways | 04:25 |
| daftykins | Striking71: install smartmontools and run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX" on each disk, the SMART data should show up pretty easily which is bad | 04:25 |
| imastupidguest | I have an issue with how content is displayed on the command line. Not sure if I need to run ls with different options, configure something, create alias(es), or some combination thereof. Any help would be appreciated. | 04:27 |
| imastupidguest | --> Order in which contents are displayed with ls on the command line... | 04:27 |
| imastupidguest | * Currently, ls -al displays hidden files mixed in with non-hidden folders | 04:27 |
| imastupidguest | * Workflow need : Display files before folder, display hidden before non hidden | 04:27 |
| Striking71 | resio - I'm sort of strapped for cash so I'd rather only replace the drives that are bad. Besides, this is valuable stuff to learn | 04:28 |
| Striking71 | daftykins: thanks, will do | 04:28 |
| daftykins | also never run RAID 5 with 3 disks again | 04:28 |
| imastupidguest | I would like the order (starting at the top) to go : hidden files, hidden dirs, non-hidden files, non-hidden dirs (if possible) | 04:29 |
| imastupidguest | excuse me... | 04:29 |
| imastupidguest | hidden files, non-hidden files, hidden dirs, non-hidden dirs | 04:29 |
| imastupidguest | I'm using gnome-terminal | 04:30 |
| Striking71 | daftykins: Why is that? | 04:31 |
| daftykins | 3 is the minimum and is a bad move | 04:31 |
| Striking71 | daftykins: What is bad about it? I figured it wouldn't be the minimum if it wasn't a good idea | 04:32 |

| f00dMonsta | I've tried chrome, chromium, firefox | 04:36 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: I've tried chrome, chromium, firefox | 04:36 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: There could be some content settings in the browser (not sure) have you checked that in the browser's preferences? | 04:36 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: I've tried clearing everything | 04:37 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: Not just clearing cookies or history, but settings which limit the type of content (like parental controls) | 04:37 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: I didn't think they were set by default, but I could be wrong about that. It's where I would check first | 04:39 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: it was working perfectly fine last night... and for the past year | 04:39 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: I see. Have you tried pinging one of the sites you're having trouble with? | 04:40 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: If you would like, I'm willing to try to go to one of the url in my browser to see if it loads for me (also) | 04:40 |

| ponA | hey guys, i installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my other machine and i want to use it without a monitor connected. i tried remote desktop but xrdp did not work with unity so i installed team viewer and set it up for LAN connections only | 04:42 |
| reisio | techrat: need ye the xinerama/xrandr support | 04:43 |
| union-hive | ponA: you should just ssh into and terminal command everything | 04:43 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: I can't ping live.com, can you try? because some servers block icmp packets | 04:43 |
| ponA | the problem is, that the window is rather small, how do i setup a higher standard resolution? | 04:43 |
| reisio | techrat: and/or a graphics driver/config to match | 04:43 |
| union-hive | using a remote desktop is over taxing and using a lot of resources sometimes | 04:43 |
| techrat | reisio: xrandr support as in apt-get install xrandr ? | 04:44 |
| reisio | techrat: likely not | 04:44 |
| ponA | i know i can do it with ssh but for some tasks it seems rather inconvenient | 04:44 |
| techrat | reisio: Oh looks like I already have xrandr | 04:45 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: It loads for me but redirects to a login page, specifically : https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=12&ct=1417668295&rver=6.4.6456.0&wp=MBI_SSL_SHARED&wreply=https:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx%3Frru%3Dinbox&lc=1033&id=64855&mkt=en-us&cbcxt=mai | 04:45 |
| ponA | e.g. i tried to change the ip address to static and it would have taken me a lot of time to figure out how it really changes a thing using ssh+terminal, then i ended up using the gui and everything worked fine in seconds... | 04:46 |
| techrat | reisio: although I do not have xinerama | 04:46 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: ok suddenly that works now. But the more important one: https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?nc1=h_m_mc | 04:46 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: Has anything changed in your firewall settings? (this would be a bit over my head but perhaps someone here could work w/ you on it - if need be) | 04:46 |
| ponA | but back to topic, how do i setup a higher standard resolution for the desktop? | 04:46 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: I turned it off to see if it helps | 04:46 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: Yes, that latter link loads for me.

| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: meh, something is wrong with my ubuntu then | 04:48 |
| imastupidguest | whoa - is a url supposed to be that long? | 04:48 |
| techrat | reisio: Were you talking about dual monitor or flux in specific? My dual monitor works fine but it's just that just one screen gets flux while the other doesn't | 04:48 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: just tried on a windows machine, and my phone... both works | 04:48 |
| MrSavage | Alright I'm getting issues with my ubuntu 14.04 on not being able to minimize openGL games | 04:49 |
| imastupidguest | f00dMonsta: I'll leave you to the experts then. Hope some of the troubleshooting helped | 04:49 |
| reisio | techrat: I mentioned other things :) | 04:49 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: i bet you if I load up a vm, it'll work :P | 04:49 |
| techrat | reisio: Oh other things as in making dual monitor work? | 04:50 |
| reisio | techrat: using nvidia? | 04:51 |
| f00dMonsta | imastupidguest: aww I was wrong, it doesn't work in a vm | 04:51 |
| techrat | reisio: I'm using intergrated GPU from intel | 04:51 |

| ikeboy | I'm having a problem with grub settings; my system doesn't start unless I press enter, but I would like it to start automatically | 05:23 |
| ikeboy | also my os-prober stopped working | 05:23 |
| bubbasaures | ikeboy, Have you been messing with it? | 05:24 |
| ikeboy | no, just upgraded to 14.10 a while ago. i think the problems are from then | 05:24 |
| mozzarella | MrSavage: pls | 05:24 |
| ikeboy | I also had some boot problems around then that i needed to reinstall grub after | 05:24 |

| ikeboy | yes | 05:25 |
| bubbasaures | ikeboy, What other OS's? | 05:25 |
| ikeboy | I have windows and hackentosh on other partitions and drives which used to show up but don't now | 05:25 |
| ikeboy | but I can get to those with easybcd. My main problem is the timeout | 05:26 |
| bubbasaures | ikeboy, You're using easybcd to get to grub to get to ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| ikeboy | looking at grub custumizer right now shows "boot default entry after 10 seconds" but that doesn't happen | 05:26 |
| ikeboy | yes | 05:27 |
| link0_ | ikeboy: check /etc/default/grub | 05:27 |
| bubbasaures | ikeboy, So you have using the customizer? | 05:27 |
| ikeboy | yes, but the options don't change | 05:27 |
| link0_ | ikeboy: sudo update-grub | 05:28 |
| ikeboy | i did that | 05:28 |

| link0_ | ikeboy: so GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=10 would wait 10 seconds before auto booting | 05:34 |

| explodingmango | Hello, I have question about a built-in Linux kernel driver (if this the right place to ask). | 05:53 |
| explodingmango | There is a series of 3D navigation devices made by 3D Connexion which are supported by kernel drivers. The most basic model, the SpaceNavigator, works right out of the box. There's a more advanced model, SpacePilot, which also works for input, but it also has an LCD screen. My question is, is the SpacePilot's LCD screen also supported by the kernel driver? | 05:55 |
| explodingmango | And if no one knows, is there some resource where I can find out more about Linux's kernel drivers? | 05:55 |

| link0_ | mozzarella: start xev in terminal...it waits for your input...press key you want to change | 06:21 |
| link0_ | mozzarella: then repeat with other key | 06:22 |
| NeilG | Need help in keep runing a jar program even after quitting from ssh amazon box. | 06:22 |

| mozzarella | link0_: I tried keycode 108 = Control_R | 06:23 |
| mozzarella | doesn't work | 06:23 |
| link0_ | mozzarella: did you do "xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Control_R" | 06:25 |
| mozzarella | no I wrote a file instead | 06:25 |
| mozzarella | and did xmodmap file | 06:25 |

| jetro | hey guys I just reinstalled ubuntu 14.04 on a machine that had two partitions, one with windows and one with ubuntu | 06:40 |
| jetro | I only see 1 partition now with ubuntu | 06:40 |
| jetro | I think the reinstall got rid of the windows partition? | 06:41 |
| jetro | Is there any way I can get windows back or recover my files? | 06:41 |
| tuxakadjseb | Your NTFS partition is it mounted ? | 06:41 |
| jetro | tuxakadjseb, what do you mean? | 06:41 |
| jetro | I am on the ubuntu os right now | 06:42 |
| jetro | and I used gparted to check my partitions | 06:42 |
| jetro | the windows one is gone | 06:42 |
| tuxakadjseb | Oups ! | 06:42 |
| jetro | tuxakadjseb, I'm screwed? | 06:42 |
| tuxakadjseb | How many HDD have your computer ? | 06:42 |
| jetro | Just one | 06:43 |
| jetro | I have 1 HDD with windows and ubuntu on 2 different partitions | 06:43 |
| jetro | then I inserted the ubuntu cd to reinstall | 06:43 |
| jetro | the cd said that it detected an ubuntu installation, should it do a reinstall, and I said yes | 06:43 |
| mozzarella | guys | 06:43 |
| mozzarella | which mod key is right alt | 06:44 |
| jetro | I had no idea it was going to wipe everything out and then do the reinstall, I thought it would just reinstall on that partition | 06:44 |
| jetro | tuxakadjseb, can I run any data recovery programs to get back files? | 06:44 |
| jetro | I just need to get my python files | 06:44 |
| tuxakadjseb | I'm afraid you have lost your windows partition :-( | 06:44 |
| somsip | mozzarella: er...the alt key that's to the right of the spacebar | 06:45 |
| tuxakadjseb | Hey people, any idea to help jetro ? | 06:45 |
| jetro | tuxakadjseb, damn! Any way to recover the data? I just need to get python files back | 06:45 |
| mozzarella | somsip: I know | 06:45 |
| somsip | !recovery | jetro | 06:45 |
| ubottu | jetro: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 06:45 |
| somsip | mozzarella: maybe ask a better question then? | 06:45 |
| mozzarella | but it has a number | 06:45 |
| somsip | mozzarella: use xev | 06:45 |
| mozzarella | mod1, mod2, mod3, etc. | 06:45 |
| mozzarella | dude, it doesn't say | 06:46 |
| somsip | mozzarella: to be used in what program? | 06:46 |
| mozzarella | xmodmap | 06:46 |
| somsip | mozzarella: use the keycode reported by xev | 06:46 |
| mozzarella | I need the keysym | 06:46 |
| mozzarella | not the keycode | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | xev tells you that | 06:47 |
| jetro | somsip, ubuntu is booting up normally, but windows is gone. I have one HDD, is it possible to use ubuntu to search for windows files that may still be on the HDD? | 06:47 |
| mozzarella | I have remapped my right alt already | 06:47 |
| mozzarella | can't see the keysym | 06:47 |
| Ben64 | its right there where it says "keysym" | 06:47 |
| somsip | !undelete | jetro (unlikely, but you could look into these) | 06:47 |
| ubottu | jetro (unlikely, but you could look into these): Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 06:47 |
| somsip | mozzarella: ie, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L) on mine | 06:48 |
| mozzarella | sorry, keysym is not what I meant | 06:49 |
| mozzarella | the thing I must "clear" | 06:49 |
| mozzarella | e.g. clear Mod1 | 06:49 |
| Ben64 | you're not making a whole lot of sense | 06:50 |
| jetro | I'm screwed, I'm going to have to recode everything | 06:51 |
| jetro | Why the hell did that cd ask if I wanted to reinstall ubuntu and then go ahead and not ask me about partitions and wipe everything... | 06:51 |
| mozzarella | Ben64: trust me bro | 06:51 |
| mozzarella | I also find it confusing | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | mozzarella: i'm not your bro, guy. it's not xmodmap that is confusing, it is your description of what you still need to do | 06:52 |
| mozzarella | Ben64: I have to "clear" the key function, but I'm not sure why | 06:53 |
| mozzarella | doesn't work if I don't | 06:53 |

| mozzarella | no, the alt key is fine, I need to remap the command key | 06:54 |
| somsip | mozzarella: use said right Alt earlier... | 06:54 |
| Ben64 | jetro: sounds unlikely that it wouldn't tell you, maybe you clicked next without reading? you can use photorec to find files | 06:54 |
| Ben64 | mozzarella: dude you need to explain much better what you want to do | 06:55 |
| mozzarella | yes, I need to remap the right command key to be a right alt key | 06:55 |

| Laibsch | Grub comes up, I choose the boot entry that used to work flawlessly for me and then eventually the boot halts with "no volume groups found". | 08:13 |
| Laibsch | I tried adding "insmod usb" to the grub invocation but still no go. | 08:13 |

| Vespian | Hello. | 08:56 |
| Vespian | Anyone know anything about reading data from a serial device plugged into USB? | 08:56 |
| sgo11 | hi, I am running ubuntu 14.04.1. I did "sudo apt-get update" "apt-get dist-upgrade" and then "do-release-upgrade". it returns "No new release found". why? I thought the latest version was 14.10. thanks. | 08:56 |
| DJones | sgo11: I suspect your update manager is set to only show LTS releases | 08:57 |
| bahamas | hello. can anyone recommend me a tool that allows me to edit the desktop wallpaper? I want to be able to update it constantly with text | 08:57 |
| sgo11 | DJones, how to check that option? thanks. | 08:58 |
| DJones | sgo11: Just trying to remember where its set | 08:58 |
| sgo11 | ok. thanks. | 08:58 |
| fidel_ | bahamas: update it with text? | 08:58 |
| Vespian | http://pastebin.com/g7PDDszR | 08:59 |
| fidel_ | if i interpret it right - you want to display a changing text as part of your desktop (or wallpaper) if so - take a look at conky | 08:59 |
| geirha | bahamas: imagemagick can add text on images | 08:59 |
| Vespian | Screen isn't showing ANY data from the SIM Card Reader. | 08:59 |
| fidel_ | conky can display text as layer above your wallpaper/desktop | 09:00 |
| geirha | yeah conky is probably what you want | 09:01 |
| DJones | sgo11: Open up Software and updates, on the 3rd tab called updates, there is a tick box "Notify me of a new UBuntu version" probably says LTS only, that needs to be "For any new version" | 09:01 |
| bahamas | fidel_, geirha: basically I want to use the wallpaper as a reminder of things | 09:02 |
| sgo11 | DJones, right, thanks. I set it to "Never". btw, why does ubuntu.com still recommend 14.04.1 LTS instead of 14.10 ? It didn't do this in previous LTS release. thanks. | 09:02 |
| Vespian | Anyone? http://pastebin.com/g7PDDszR | 09:03 |
| DJones | sgo11: Its probably recommended as LTS because it is LTS with longer support | 09:03 |
| fidel_ | bahamas: check conky then | 09:04 |
| sgo11 | DJones, in the page http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/ it recommends 14.04.1. From my memory, in the old days, it always recommends the latest version for desktop PC. I feel this is weird. does it mean 14.10 is not stable? | 09:06 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, 9 months of support vs. 3 years. do the math. | 09:06 |
| sgo11 | cfhowlett, ok. | 09:07 |
| DJones | sgo11: I think thats just because a lot of users want long term stability and support (5 years with LTS) so they're recommended to use that, wheras the non-LTS releases are only supported for a short time and the user would have to upgrade within 9 months to keep getting support, not everybody wants the latest versions and has the time for regular upgrades | 09:08 |
| EriC^^ | *5 years support | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | sgo11, personal choice and pain tolerance question. IMHO, LTS is optimized and polished for stability. bleeding edge = bloody. | 09:08 |
| Vespian | Surely someone here knows about reading/writing from/to serial devices.... | 09:08 |
| Vespian | http://pastebin.com/hQfEuGFE | 09:09 |
| sgo11 | If I stay with 14.04.1 LTS and when 15.04 is out, can I directly upgrade the system from 14.04.1 to 15.04 with do-release-upgrade? or do I have to go through 14.04 --> 14.10 --> 15.04 ? thanks. | 09:11 |
| DJones | sgo11: 15.04 isn't LTS, so you'd have to go through 14.10 | 09:12 |
| DJones | sgo11: LTS are only released every 2 years, 12.04, 14.04 and next one will be 16.04 | 09:12 |
| sgo11 | DJones, ok. what about upgrading to 16.04? do-release-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 directly? or go though 14.04 -- 14.10 -- 15.04 -- ... -- 16.04 LTS ? | 09:13 |
| DJones | sgo11: You'll be able to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 directly | 09:14 |
| Vespian | Only issue with major updates is that it can break a lot of programs. ( | 09:14 |
| sgo11 | DJones, that's cool. thanks a lot. :) | 09:14 |
| Vespian | :( * | 09:14 |
| Vespian | DJones: Do you know anything about reading from a serial device? | 09:15 |
| DJones | Vespian: Sorry, no | 09:15 |
| sgo11 | Vespian, that's not cool then.. will it be safer in server upgrade? | 09:15 |
| Vespian | sgo11: Nothing that can be done about programs breaking... takes a while for developers to make it work for the new version of the OS.... which is why every major version update to the OS is given a label... for instance 14.10 is Utopic Unicorn | 09:16 |
| Vespian | And the version names are quite relevant when adding a PPA to the repository. | 09:17 |
| sgo11 | Vespian, ok, cheers. | 09:17 |
| DJones | sgo11: Most people will probably stay with LTS releases for servers because it doesn't involve 4 updates and they can be more certain that anything running on it won't have issues with 4 different upgrades | 09:19 |
| Vespian | Anyone know why Cinnamon uses so much RAM? I have very few applets running in it and it's using 395 MB of RAM. | 09:19 |
| sgo11 | DJones, ok. got it. my server will stay with LTS version and my desktop will update to 14.10 then. :) | 09:20 |
| Vespian | sgo11: Wise choice. | 09:20 |
| sgo11 | Vespian, ^_^ | 09:20 |
| Ankoran | anyone that can help me use a static ip with my usb wireless interface? i cannot seem to figure out how to do it im using ubuntu 14.04 lts | 09:24 |
| wildwind | Please point me to some good guides on setting up PXE environment. I want to have several Linux images on the server (different distros, releases, archs etc.) for testing purposes and clients on the network able to quickly boot any of them. For client, it should be the same experience as booting LiveCD. | 09:25 |
| cfhowlett | WildSoft, better asked in #ubuntu-server or #edubuntu | 09:25 |
| krzkrz | any reason why ps aux | grep cron is not returning anything significant? | 09:26 |
| krzkrz | shouldnt crond display as running in the bg? | 09:26 |
| Ankoran | what does ubuntu use for wireless config it doesnt seem to be using wpa_suppicant | 09:26 |
| Ankoran | keep trying to use /etc/network/interfaces to configure static but there was no previous entry for wlan0 in there | 09:26 |
| krzkrz | or does ubuntu use something else as its daemon for cron? | 09:28 |
| Neo31 | hello guys, i wanna report a bug concerning locale configuration for my country :) | 09:29 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Your question isn't about Ubuntu, but rather it is about your UI. Each UI uses a different application for wireless connection management. | 09:29 |
| cfhowlett | !bug | Neo31, | 09:29 |
| ubottu | Neo31,: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 09:29 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: By default, Ubuntu comes with Unity UI and GNOME UI | 09:30 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: I myself use Cinnamon UI. | 09:30 |
| Ankoran | yeah i have the default everything | 09:30 |
| Ankoran | i want to set a static ip with my wireless | 09:30 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Okay, then are you using Unity or GNOME right now? | 09:30 |
| krzkrz | anyone? | 09:30 |
| qwerty_ | asdf | 09:30 |
| Ankoran | whatever comes with the install of ubuntu | 09:30 |
| Ankoran | im guessing unity | 09:30 |
| krzkrz | what does ps aux | grep cron return for you guys? | 09:30 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Both come with it. | 09:30 |
| krzkrz | do you see crond running? | 09:30 |
| Ankoran | i dont remember selecting anything | 09:30 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Does your desktop look bare or does it have all kinds of icons and such? | 09:31 |
| Ankoran | bare | 09:31 |
| krzkrz | anyone?! | 09:31 |
| Neo31 | what's the package for locale configuration? | 09:31 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Then you're likely in GNOME. | 09:31 |
| krzkrz | yes/no/maybe/foff? | 09:31 |
| Ankoran | i just have no idea what this is usingto configure the wireless as is | 09:31 |
| Ankoran | there is no wpa_supplicant configuration file and /etc/network/ineterfaces doesnt have wlan0 | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | Neo31, terminal time: dpkg -l | grep locale will tell you | 09:32 |
| Ankoran | wifi works just fine dhcp but i run a few services that use port forwardingand its a bugger to have to change that all the time | 09:32 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Ctrl + Alt + t and execute: nm-applet | 09:34 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: That's the default GNOME Network Manager application. | 09:34 |
| Ankoran | nevermind i found it in the network list when i selected my AP i clicked edit and its all in there to assign stuff for ipv4/6 | 09:35 |
| Ankoran | but thanks | 09:35 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: I also advise that you do Ctrl + Alt + t and execute: /usr/bin/software-center | 09:35 |
| Ankoran | for what? | 09:36 |
| Happzz | hey guys. | 09:36 |
| Ankoran | ive been using this install of ubuntu for a month now i just never bothered to learn how to assign a static IP for wifi | 09:36 |
| Ankoran | im updated and customized | 09:36 |
| Happzz | i have win8.1 installed on disk1 and i'd like to put ubuntu on disk2 (two separate physical disks) | 09:36 |
| Happzz | i dont want to mess with dual booting and whatever. i'd rather just tell the bios which disk to load every time | 09:36 |
| nusr | how can i run a bash script? what file extension do i use for ubuntu? the script runs when i input line by line into gnuplot, but when i try to cat <filename.gp> | gnuplot it says data file unreadable | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | Happzz, install but skip the bootloader | 09:37 |
| Happzz | windows is already on disk1 and running fine. how do i go about installing ubuntu on disk2 without accidently touching disk1 at all - not the data and not the bootloader there | 09:37 |
| Vespian | Ankoran: Are you now? Perhaps you should do Ctrl + Alt + t and execute software-properties-gtk and then enable Canonical updates and also check your drivers out too. Ahah | 09:37 |
| Happzz | cfhowlett im really asking how to, not what to :) | 09:37 |
| Ankoran | already done Vespian | 09:38 |
| Happzz | and i guess there needs to be a boot loader for ubuntu as well, just on a diff disk, no? | 09:38 |
| Ankoran | i have also been using linux since 1993 | 09:38 |
| Ankoran | I have just never used wireless with it before a month ago | 09:38 |
| cfhowlett | Happzz, choose "something else" during installation type. do NOT install bootloader = "how to" | 09:38 |
| qwerty_ | how to install ubuntu on crusoe cpu?? | 09:39 |
| wildwind | cfhowlett: tu | 09:39 |

| ubuntul0ver | my drive is running full .. but aptitude says i have bout 200 packets installed how do i swipe the rest ? | 09:39 |
| Vespian | Anyone have any experience with reading data from a serial device that is plugged into USB? http://pastebin.com/hQfEuGFE | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | Happzz, you said you wanted to specify at boot! | 09:39 |
| Happzz | i want to choose the disk with the f12 menu that tells the bios which disk to load | 09:40 |
| cfhowlett | Happzz, you could install the bootloader to ubuntu disk ... | 09:40 |
| Happzz | when/where do i choose that? | 09:40 |
| wildwind | cfhowlett: btw, why have you suggested edubuntu, does it have pxe preconfigured? | 09:41 |
| ubuntul0ver | i.e. where are the unneeded files hiding ? | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | wildwind, edubuntu seems to do pxe / ltsp type installs a lot more than typical desktop installations | 09:41 |

| Happzz | and if i tell it to put the bootloader on disk2, it will not touch disk1 AT ALL? | 09:42 |
| Happzz | im sorry for annoying with this, im just not going to be able to come and ask while doing it for real ;) | 09:43 |
| Happzz | so i have to understand first. | 09:43 |

| cfhowlett | Happzz, nope. but to be sure, you can disable disk1 at bios, right? | 09:43 |
| Happzz | i dont know? | 09:43 |
| Happzz | if i can, does this ensure nothing at all is written to it? | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | Happzz, disabled disk1 = no disk1 so far as live session concerned | 09:44 |

| medecau | Good morning. I have just installed ubuntu server on a mac mini. I have made some of the necessary encantations for this to work but I am getting hung on boot. It displays a blinking cursor on the top left. Any idea why? I believed this is something to do with grub | 10:22 |

| ubottu | medecau: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 10:22 |
| medecau | somsip, the wiki is dated | 10:23 |

| Lachezar | Hey all. Upgraded Ubuntu Server to 14.04.01 LTS, and now I can not ssh into the server with the 'backup' account. How can I fix this (without compromising the system completely)? | 10:31 |
| Ben64 | Lachezar: can you ssh in at all? | 10:31 |
| Lachezar | Ben64: yes, I have user users that ssh in as expected, but the 'backup' account is a system one, and even though it has .ssh/authorized_keys and is explicitly noted in AllowUsers in /etc/ssh/sshd_config it does not allow ssh in with 'backup'. | 10:33 |

| p01s0n | hello all ,i am trying to share my block device exported over iscsi to multiple hosts | 10:46 |
| p01s0n | formatted device as GFS2 | 10:47 |
| p01s0n | how can i mount it?Does it require corosync and other tools to mount this | 10:48 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest41132 | ||
| Walex | p01s0n: you can mount GFS2 in non-cluster mode | 10:52 |
| p01s0n | Walex thanks so with non clustered option (nolock) can i still share that between two hosts? | 10:53 |
| Walex | p01s0n: depends. clustered mode means that among its users one is the "active" one, but you can mount it shared without its clients being in cluster mode. | 10:59 |
| tony_ | hello everyone | 11:00 |
| Walex | p01s0n: GFS2 supports concurrent writes without problems with the right options (but they are slow). It is the systems mounting it that may not be able to work together. | 11:00 |
| Walex | p01s0n: put another way the lock manager and the cluster manager have completely different roles. | 11:02 |
| Walex | p01s0n read carefully gthe fully the paragraph beginning "The GFS requires fencing" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFS2 | 11:04 |
| p01s0n | Walex : i am trying to achieve a shared file store for my webservers but our SAN supports only iscsi.So i am trying to use a file system that supports sharing file.tried using (lock_nolock) with this it can mount block device across nodes but contents are missing | 11:05 |
| Walex | p01s0n: that's a different problem... | 11:05 |
| Walex | p01s0n: if there are multiple clients writing the distributed lock manager is necessary to handle access to the journal as mentioned in the Wikipedia. This needs to be clustered itself in case of client restarts. Then perhaps the client themselves need to be clustered if they cannot work together. | 11:07 |
| Walex | p01s0n: however "missing" content most likely is due to *caching*. | 11:08 |
| Walex | p01s0n: suppose that you have client A, client B, and server X with the GFS2 block device. | 11:09 |
| Walex | p01s0n: client A updates a file. When does client B "sees" the update? It could be several seconds later, as the update may be cached in RAM on client A, if the application does not use 'fsync' or similar. | 11:10 |
| Walex | p01s0n: so in your case you must use the DLM, rather than 'nolock', and ensure that applications use 'flock'. | 11:10 |
| Walex | p01s0n: but the overall issue is that you are trying to use a filesystem as a shared remote database. This can be made to work but perhaps a shared remote database would be a more natural backend. | 11:11 |
| raskel | hello, i have ubuntu 14.04 which is LTS. should i upgrade to 14.10 or i should wait for 15.04? | 11:12 |
| p01s0n | Walex : thanks, so for DLM to work i need to configure CMAN and other cluster management tools .I thought it will be simple as formating with GFS2 and mounting across multiple nodes | 11:13 |
| anselan | raskel: Depends on what you're doing, I guess | 11:15 |
| k1l | raskel, when you upgrade you need to do every release, besides the LTS to LTS upgrade which is 14.04 to 16.04 | 11:16 |
| anselan | raskel: How important is stablility to you? | 11:16 |
| k1l | raskel, but if you dont want to upgrade all 6 months you should stay on LTS | 11:16 |
| anselan | raskel: I stay on LTS versions for installations I build, but only because I need to ensure hardware compatibility over a long term, and don't need "bleeding edge" features | 11:17 |
| streulma | hello | 11:17 |
| Walex | p01s0n: as that Wikipedia paragraph says, that workish except at restarts. When a node crashes and restarts it tries to replay the journal, which is a bad idea if there are other systems. | 11:17 |
| streulma | if someone asks some help with the new Macs (running newer EFI), I can help with setting up a Linux only boot. There is some problem with the new EFI not detecting the EFI file of Ubuntu. | 11:18 |
| Walex | p01s0n: the DLM does not strictly speaking need the cluster manager; you can do it manually, but that's unreliable. | 11:18 |

| ServerSage | wildwind: So you want to run "pmount some-magic-here" and have it A) Figure out the drive label B) Mount the drive in /media/LABEL? | 12:38 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: Something like this might work then: pmount /dev/sdb1 `blkid -s LABEL /dev/sdb1` | 12:39 |
| wildwind | ServerSage: yes. Nautilus (or whoever) does it somehow | 12:39 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: The blkid portion gets the label of the drive, putting that in `` (these are the backticks to the left of the 1 on your keyboard) executes the blkid portion and uses it as an argument for pmount. | 12:40 |
| EriC^^ | wildwind: sudo mkdir /media/$(sudo blkid -s LABEL /dev/sdb1 | grep -o \".*\") && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/$(sudo blkid -s LABEL /dev/sdb1 | grep -o \".*\") | 12:43 |
| wildwind | ServerSage: blkid -s LABEL /dev/sdb1 doesn't work for me, shows no output | 12:43 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: Then the drive doesn't have a label. | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | wildwind: blkid needs sudo | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | wildwind: you'll need to use grep to remove some stuff | 12:43 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: Or what EriC^^ said. :) | 12:43 |
| wildwind | ServerSage, EriC^^: yes, for volume with labels it works, even w/o sudo | 12:46 |
| wildwind | *volumes | 12:46 |
| ServerSage | Thought it should. | 12:46 |
| ServerSage | Wasn't sure. | 12:46 |
| SCHAAP137 | it will probably be mounted under /media/username/LABEL right? | 12:46 |
| SCHAAP137 | without sudo | 12:47 |
| ServerSage | SCHAAP137: Using pmount it should get mounted in /media/LABL | 12:47 |
| SCHAAP137 | ahh, ok | 12:47 |
| wildwind | But things started to get complicated. I'll have to deal with different partitioning (sdb1 vs sdb2 vs sdb) and probably different device names (sdc etc.) I hoped there is some API in that I can just call from console. | 12:51 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: I think you might want to ask yourself why you are doing it the way you want to do it. | 12:52 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: And learn about partitioning. sdb is not a partition. sdb1 and sdb2 are. | 12:53 |
| EriC^^ | wildwind: earlier one doesn't work, use if you want i guess sdb1=$(blkid -s LABEL /dev/sdb1 | grep -o \".*\" | sed 's/\"//g') && sudo mkdir /media/"$sdb1" && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/"$sdb1" | 12:54 |
| ServerSage | EriC^^: If he just uses pmount he doesn't need the mkdir nor does he need sudo. | 12:58 |

| flipapy | morning everyone. :) did anyone just run a 'sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get upgrade, then sudo apt-get update? i mena that's the typical pattern i run during my daily update. i'm using ked-mint 17, but it updadtes from ubuntu and i'm just wondering if anyone else experienced a Significantly slower update than usual. did anyone? | 13:02 |
| ServerSage | flipapy: Huh? | 13:03 |
| acerimmer_ | !mint | flipapy, you'll have to take it up with Mint support. Not supported here. | 13:03 |
| ubottu | flipapy, you'll have to take it up with Mint support. Not supported here.: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | flipapy: you only need to run update once, and then upgrade | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | flipapy: it's not like zeroing a disk or something | 13:03 |
| flipapy | ok, thanks, but during the update it does say they update from ubuntu servers | 13:04 |
| Jelio | hello | 13:05 |
| flipapy | did you guys experience a slower than usual update today? | 13:05 |
| EriC^^ | flipapy: depends which server you're using i guess | 13:05 |

| wildwind | ServerSage: I often do different things with USB drives. Sometimes I just mount them, sometimes I insert them, get an image, write another image, then mount, test, unmount etc. So automount is not convenient for me. Mounting with GUI isn't convenient either due to constant keyboard/mouse switching. | 13:10 |
| ServerSage | wildwind: Well, with what EriC^^ and myself have given you a shell script could easily be written so you could run "myautomount.sh /dev/sdb1" and it would do what you want. | 13:12 |

| afidegnum | I used about 3 mirros, from us, uk and se | 13:14 |
| afidegnum | no luck | 13:14 |
| DJones | afidegnum: Because 12.10 is end of life, the repo's get removed | 13:14 |
| afidegnum | is there no way i can get them back? | 13:15 |
| ServerSage | Derp, I was thinking 12.04. | 13:15 |
| afidegnum | or no outstanding repo? | 13:15 |
| xangua | afidegnum: please upgrade to a supported ubuntu release | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | afidegnum, drop back to 12.04. it's still supported and repos are still live. using an unsupported distro is BEGGING for a breach and asking for trouble | 13:15 |
| afidegnum | I do have the 14.04 version, but I am facing serious problem with it | 13:16 |
| ServerSage | afidegnum: In the future if you have a system that will need to stay at a particular version you should install an LTS version of Ubuntu. | 13:16 |
| afidegnum | the first problem is after ubuntu launches, it goes totally black screen | 13:16 |
| afidegnum | I have installed ubuntu on dual-boot | 13:16 |

| ServerSage | afidegnum: I'm going to assume desktop install. Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there are any errors. | 13:19 |
| afidegnum | ServerSage: it's a desktop insstall | 13:20 |

| usrb1n | Hello guys. I am using the following command to find some files recursively: grep -r -i --include="*.php" "Step 1 - Check Stats 0" ./ . My issue comes because the found files are "snapshots" from the same file on different parts of the development. I need to use somehow wc -l in order to identify the path for the file with more lines (which should be the last one) | 14:02 |
| usrb1n | I have tried to add | wc -l | 14:02 |
| usrb1n | But it does not make any change | 14:02 |
| Pici | usrb1n: have you considered using find in conjuntion with grep? | 14:03 |
| usrb1n | Pici: Also tried that. find . -name "*.php" | grep -i "Step 1 - Check Stats 0" | wc -l | 14:04 |

| ikonia | don't redo it | 14:08 |
| Pici | usrb1n: find just outputs filenames, so that won't do. you'd need to modify the find command to filter for the production files, but something like this will work: find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} grep -H "Step 1 - Check Stats 0" {} | 14:08 |

| iggymydog | ok | 14:09 |
| iggymydog | ummmm how do i do that? | 14:09 |

| Pici | MagicSpud: press tab to get the the OK button then press enter. It shouldn't asl you again. | 14:38 |
| MagicSpud | oooh really thats great! | 14:39 |
| ikonia | oupty: you should never modify the package database EVER, and you don't need to modify any packages to list the dependencies | 14:39 |
| MagicSpud | I will try it right now | 14:39 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: it says that everything is installed.. | 14:39 |
| ikonia | oupty: you should not be modifying ANY package database EVER | 14:39 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: hmm... weird, gimme a sec to find the proper thingy | 14:39 |
| oupty | ikonia: why? | 14:39 |
| iggymydog | cfhowlett: i got it working yayayay | 14:39 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: Ok, thank you a lot! | 14:39 |
| iggymydog | cfhowlett: thanksa <3 | 14:39 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: ok... "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms" see if that gives any error | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett | iggymydog, nice | 14:40 |
| ikonia | oupty: because your whole machine depends on that package database, and to list dependencies, you shouldn't modify anything | 14:40 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: if that works how its supposed to, it should build the module... (although will all those packages it should have done it before) | 14:40 |
| irishspy | cfhowlett: its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 14:40 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: No, no error | 14:40 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: did you see it build a module | 14:40 |
| oupty | ikonia: If you want to do some extra features, you can do it. | 14:40 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: It didn't output anything | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett | irishspy, how did you fix? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | oupty: a.) you should not do it b.) he does not want extra features, he just wanted to list dependencies | 14:40 |
| irishspy | cfhowlett: i just ckicked on the update thing and under additional drivers it said do not use this device so i clicked the other option which is some third party drivr or some shit | 14:41 |
| irishspy | cfhowlett: im iggymydog | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | irishspy, nice. I should have have you do that first. now you know. | 14:41 |

| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: "find /var/lib/dkms | grep nvidia | grep ko$" | 14:41 |
| oupty | ikonia: That's sad to read. I think you're wrong. | 14:41 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: still no output | 14:42 |
| ikonia | oupty: your welcome to think I'm wrong, however please don't offer that bad advice to people | 14:42 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot: ok so that means the module still isn't being built, but if you have all the packages above... i have no idea why | 14:42 |
| MagicSpud | Pici I tried the tab trick...it didnt work :-( here a snapshot of what I get with the shortcut: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=80772 | 14:42 |

| magesing | Anybody know how I can satisfy a dependancy on 32bit libtermcap.so on a 64bit ubuntu 14.04 system? | 14:43 |
| oupty | ikonia: it's an very effective optio to modify the databases, because you can do it whatever you can if you know about programming in debian | 14:43 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot: not unless a file ends in ".ko" | 14:43 |
| oupty | ikonia: so it's a very good option to do | 14:43 |
| ikonia | oupty: it is unacceptable, please don't offer it again | 14:43 |
| Pici | MagicSpud: err.. I was envisioning another screen. Sorry, UI've never seen anything like this before. I'd take a look at eula.txt though. | 14:43 |
| MagicSpud | Pici I ve tried to just write in the console what it is supposed to be in the eula.txt file but it doesnt recognize it as a command | 14:43 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: what version of ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| oupty | ikonia: can you explain us why is unacceptable? | 14:44 |
| __raven | 14.04lts server with cli only: no effect on free space when deleting files. issue from encrypted home folder which is not being updated? | 14:44 |

| oupty | Ikonia, i'm been serious. Reply me. | 14:45 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: and you did add the xorg-edgers repo properly? | 14:45 |
| ikonia | oupty: I am being serious also, please drop it now | 14:45 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 , with kernel 3.16 lowlatency | 14:45 |
| ikonia | 3.16 on 14.04 ? | 14:45 |
| ikonia | is that the right version ? | 14:46 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: I added the repo as instructed and it offered me some updates too. How can i check if the repo is installed correctly? | 14:46 |
| oupty | modifying the database is the best option to install extra features in Ubuntu | 14:46 |
| Ben64 | !info linux-image-3.16.0-25-lowlatency trusty | 14:46 |
| ubottu | linux-image-3.16.0-25-lowlatency (source: linux-lts-utopic): Linux kernel image for version 3.16.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP. In component main, is optional. Version 3.16.0-25.33~14.04.2 (trusty), package size 52104 kB, installed size 146731 kB | 14:46 |
| Ben64 | apparently its a thing | 14:46 |
| j0hnskot1 | ikonia: yes, i updated the kernel because based on phoronix only kernel 3.15 had better support for this gpu | 14:47 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-25-lowlatency | 14:47 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: That was not installed. Apparently i messed something up already. What to do next? | 14:48 |
| azus | what is lowlatency for ? | 14:48 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: then... "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*" .... then .... "sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 nvidia-settings" | 14:48 |
| ObrienDave | azus, timing issues, usually | 14:48 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: and it should work after that... but i got to go to sleep like... an hour ago | 14:49 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: Hehe, thank you very much! I'll try it! Can you give me a quick tip of what i messed up here? | 14:49 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: in case i mess it up again so i can fix it | 14:49 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: you have some weird kernel and i don't see a normal headers meta package for it. you need the headers for whatever kernel you're running in order for a module, like the nvidia module, to be compiled | 14:50 |
| Ben64 | so i had you install the specific headers for the only lowlatency 3.16 kernel i see in trusty | 14:50 |

| j0hnskot1 | Ben64 oh ok. But this happened with the 3.13 kernel too. That's why i updated to 3.16 | 14:51 |
| j0hnskot1 | Ben64: Well, i hope it works now! Thanks again! | 14:51 |
| Ben64 | which means... i need to update my super awesome nvidia fixing line to account for that possibility | 14:51 |

| ikonia | graphics performance will be a problem | 14:57 |
| ikonia | as it uses a virtual graphics card | 14:57 |
| Ben64 | in case anyone cares, that should prepare any ubuntu system for nvidia install | 14:57 |
| j0hnskot | crap,still the same :/ | 14:58 |
| gansteed | is there some graphics-io software like virtio | 14:58 |
| Ben64 | j0hnskot1: any results for the find command now? | 14:59 |
| j0hnskot | no,nothing again | 15:00 |
| Ben64 | i think it's because of your kernel then | 15:00 |
| j0hnskot | Ben64: i should mention that i installed nvidia-346 as nvidia-graphics-driver-346 because it didnt exist and i thought you made a typo. Is that the case? Or not being able to install the specific package means something? | 15:01 |

| railsraider | Hi I am trying to run an upstart file when a shared folder is mounted on virtulbox, how can i make sure the upstart runs AFTER the drive was mounted | 15:13 |
| ikonia | upstart should be run at init | 15:13 |
| ikonia | not on trigger | 15:13 |
| railsraider | it does, but the mounted drive is not ready | 15:13 |
| ikonia | railsraider: then change the dependencies order | 15:13 |
| EriC^^ | railsraider: maybe add if df | grep -qs /path/to/mountpoint; then .....; fi | 15:14 |
| railsraider | any other suggestions on how i can run it , i tried to add start on block-device-added | 15:14 |
| railsraider | and also tried this start on local-filesystems | 15:14 |
| ikonia | a udev rule? | 15:15 |
| railsraider | its still not running because the folder does not exists | 15:15 |
| ikonia | that can respond to triggers | 15:15 |
| railsraider | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/589841/upstart-calling-script-for-inserted-usb-drive | 15:15 |
| railsraider | i figured a shared folder would act the same? | 15:15 |
| railsraider | but it doesnt | 15:15 |
| ikonia | no because the shared folder is not really a device trigger | 15:16 |
| ikonia | it's a userspace mount | 15:16 |
| koss | wow cheap http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00BQ8RHJ2/fpv-20/ | 15:16 |
| ikonia | koss: nothing to do with this channel | 15:16 |
| railsraider | virtualbox is mounting it like a network drive | 15:16 |
| koss | sorry | 15:16 |
| ikonia | railsraider: virtual box uses it's own internal method to present drives | 15:17 |
| railsraider | the point is that its not mounted yet | 15:17 |
| railsraider | if iadd what EriC^^ suggested would that not halt the system? | 15:17 |
| ikonia | I think you are approaching it wrong | 15:18 |
| EriC^^ | railsraider: put whatever you want to run inside the if | 15:18 |
| ikonia | I don't think upstart should be doing this, but if you MUST use upstart, just put a depend resource on that script on a specific file system | 15:18 |
| EriC^^ | that will just check if it's mounted or not | 15:18 |
| railsraider | in the upstart file ? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | so it will not run that script until that file system is available | 15:18 |
| railsraider | i’ll give it a try | 15:18 |

| DF3D2 | I have two ubuntu machines and neither one can I restart networking on | 15:27 |
| railsraider | ikonia: EriC^^ here’s my upstart http://pastie.org/9760671 with the change of the if file, the process says that its running but its not, when i launch it manually it does work | 15:27 |
| DF3D2 | "stop job failed while stopping" | 15:28 |
| DF3D2 | so I have to reboot to change network settings, wtf ? | 15:28 |
| ikonia | railsraider: thats not what I advised you do | 15:28 |
| railsraider | im sorry i completl skipped your line, i’ll try that now | 15:29 |
| DF3D2 | anyone know what is up ? | 15:30 |
| DF3D2 | doing ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up doesn't work either | 15:30 |
| kraftb | DF3D2: Any messages? | 15:30 |

| kraftb | ifconfig -v | 15:31 |
| DF3D2 | the interfaces shows up | 15:31 |
| daftykins | DF3D2: yeah it hasn't worked via that method for years now, full reboot. | 15:31 |
| DF3D2 | daftykins: why would I need to reboot? that's like anti linux | 15:31 |
| EriC^^ | DF3D2: how are you rebooting it? | 15:31 |
| daftykins | welcome to fact versus theory. | 15:31 |
| EriC^^ | DF3D2: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:32 |
| kraftb | It differs what people define as the innermost "essence" of Linux :) | 15:32 |
| kraftb | At least the essence is free :) | 15:32 |
| DF3D2 | EriC^^: no error but doesn't work either | 15:32 |
| DF3D2 | and my interface isnt getting an IP even tho it is set to static | 15:32 |
| EriC^^ | DF3D2: sudo service network-manager restart ? | 15:32 |
| DF3D2 | im not using network-manager | 15:33 |

| ikonia | so unless you have disabled that you shouldn't be configuring your network anywhere else | 15:33 |
| DF3D2 | okay so it allowed me to restart network-manager | 15:33 |
| DF3D2 | but my interface still isnt pulling the Ip I assigned staticly | 15:33 |
| ikonia | pulling the IP ? | 15:33 |
| ikonia | it's static, it doesn't come from anywhere | 15:34 |
| EriC^^ | sudo ifconfig <interface> down && sudo ifconfig <interface> up ? | 15:34 |
| kraftb | DF3D2: Using "ifconfig" will set the IP for a short time | 15:34 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: no | 15:34 |
| daftykins | did you hand edit the interfaces file? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | it's controlled by network manager | 15:34 |
| ikonia | upping/downing the interface does nothing | 15:34 |
| kraftb | but soon it will get reset to the settings defined by the network manager | 15:34 |
| kraftb | what do you mean by: you are not using network manager? | 15:34 |
| DF3D2 | rebooting didn't help either | 15:34 |
| daftykins | none of you have stopped to ask if this is a server thus rendering NM irrelevant | 15:34 |
| DF3D2 | and my /etc/network/interfaces is correct | 15:34 |
| DF3D2 | THIS RIG is not a server | 15:35 |
| ikonia | you should not be using /etc/network/interfaces | 15:35 |
| DF3D2 | but i get the same behavior on ubuntu-server on my other rig | 15:35 |
| ikonia | remove all that stuff you put in and use network manager | 15:35 |
| ikonia | network manager will fight with that | 15:35 |
| daftykins | DF3D2: nice caps | 15:35 |
| DF3D2 | how do I use network-manager ? | 15:35 |
| DF3D2 | daftykins: what ? | 15:35 |
| kraftb | whats in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 15:35 |
| kraftb | well if you have a ubuntu desktop network manager will be used by default | 15:35 |
| yecril71pl | How can I connect to a shared calendar in Microsoft Exchange? | 15:35 |

| kraftb | which also leeds us to the question: which varian of ubuntu are you using? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | DF3D2: thats fine | 15:36 |
| DF3D2 | my network interfaces file has: iface eth1 inet static | 15:36 |
| DF3D2 | and then all the correct info after that | 15:36 |
| compdoc | what abouit eth0? | 15:36 |
| DF3D2 | i don't have an eth0, just eth1 | 15:36 |
| ikonia | DF3D2: remove the mapping data from /etc/network/interfaces | 15:37 |
| DF3D2 | according to ifconfig -a | 15:37 |
| DF3D2 | ikonia: okay | 15:37 |
| DF3D2 | even the lo info ? | 15:37 |
| daftykins | no | 15:37 |
| compdoc | DF3D2, have you added or removed interfaces? you might look at your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 15:38 |
| DF3D2 | k | 15:38 |
| DF3D2 | apparently it changed from eth0 to eth1 | 15:39 |
| DF3D2 | i commented out the old entry | 15:39 |
| mcphail | DF3D2: is your interface set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces? | 15:41 |
| DF3D2 | mcphail: yeah | 15:41 |
| DF3D2 | fixed it | 15:41 |
| DF3D2 | with compdoc suggestion | 15:41 |
| DF3D2 | thanks compdoc | 15:41 |
| compdoc | np | 15:41 |
| DF3D2 | the question still lies why changing network stuff requires a reboot now | 15:42 |
| DF3D2 | it's because im not using network-manager? | 15:42 |
| compdoc | I tend to reboot | 15:43 |
| daftykins | i figured you meant server before. server hasn't worked properly on a networking restart for ages | 15:43 |
| daftykins | yeah, true reboot is the only way to confirm settings anyway | 15:43 |
| compdoc | I like to make sure my chnages survive a reboot | 15:43 |
| mcphail | DF3D2: it shouldn't need a reboot. You mentioned above you were using "ifup eth0" but your interface had switched to eth1... | 15:43 |
| DF3D2 | daftykins: I have a server also with the same behavior | 15:43 |
| DF3D2 | mcphail: I had used ifup eth1 | 15:43 |
| DF3D2 | i know how to check ifconfig -a :-P | 15:43 |
| mcphail | ;) | 15:43 |
| DF3D2 | this happened because I changed mobo's | 15:44 |
| daftykins | not seeing eth0 should've been a *MASSIVE* warning sign | 15:44 |
| DF3D2 | and the udev rule pointed to the old mac address | 15:44 |
| DF3D2 | daftykins: well on my server rig the first of the 2 gigabit nics is called em1 | 15:44 |
| DF3D2 | and the other is | 15:44 |
| DF3D2 | p5p1 | 15:44 |
| DF3D2 | so ..... | 15:44 |
| daftykins | but we're not talking about that one right now | 15:45 |
| DF3D2 | oh well it's fixed now :-P easy enough | 15:45 |
| compdoc | DF3D2, btw, with /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, you can delete the lines at the bottom that mention your interfaces, and reboot, and the system is supposed to rebuild those lines | 15:45 |
| DF3D2 | compdoc: ahh good info! | 15:45 |
| DF3D2 | I just commented out the old mac addr one | 15:46 |
| DF3D2 | it had already added the new one | 15:46 |
| compdoc | thats fine too | 15:46 |
| DF3D2 | I should have mentionedi n the beginning I installed a new mobo | 15:46 |
| DF3D2 | :\ my fault | 15:46 |
| compdoc | once you edit the file manually, it should keep your changes | 15:46 |
| DF3D2 | I just thought as long as /etc/network/interfaces was correct | 15:46 |
| DF3D2 | it would work :-P | 15:47 |
| compdoc | OSes are complicated beasts | 15:47 |
| DF3D2 | true that | 15:47 |
| DF3D2 | atleast linux you can swap a mobo without reinstall | 15:47 |
| DF3D2 | :-D | 15:47 |
| Eggs_ | DF3D2: some simpler OS's can just use that file, like arch | 15:47 |
| DF3D2 | Eggs_: ahh I see | 15:48 |
| DF3D2 | I have tried to use arch but nothing ever worked right with uefi | 15:48 |

| compdoc | ubuntu is much better, tho :) | 15:49 |
| DF3D2 | it was working, then just stopped for no reason, so i gave up on it | 15:49 |

| DF3D2 | so now i have ubuntu-server on it | 15:49 |

| Eggs_ | DF3D2: much more powerful than mine, ive just got a dualcore i3 and 8gb of ram, seems to work ok, ram gets capped out though with 20tb of storage | 15:52 |
| DF3D2 | EPIC epic epic | 15:52 |
| DF3D2 | Eggs_: nice I plan on adding 8x3tb more eventually | 15:52 |
| Eggs_ | mcphail: ZFS on linux is much more mature than btrfs, hopefully you will find it less error prone | 15:52 |
| DF3D2 | need to buy 2 more adaptec 1430 AAR SA cards first tho | 15:52 |
| Eggs_ | DF3D2: im at the max capacity for my mobo, i need to get a LSI JBOD card or something similar if i want to upgrade | 15:53 |
| mcphail | Eggs_: i've always worried the Linux implementation would be buggy compared to Solaris. I remember the BSD version used to crumble quite easily | 15:53 |
| kraftb | Ok. Finally found the issue. The kernel options "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" from /etc/default/grub.d/dmraid2mdadm.cfg where desturbing my now-mdadm raid1 | 15:53 |
| DF3D2 | Eggs_: yeah I have 6 mobo ports, and 1x Adaptec 1430 AAR SA or something raid/JBOD card and I just use it for JBOD obviously. the guy I bought the ram/mobo/cpu just gave me as well as a nice 2U case just cause. | 15:53 |
| DF3D2 | the adaptec card works great | 15:54 |
| kraftb | It was dmraid before (just for testing - I had problems with dmraid back in '04) since then I always used mdadm (like before '04 :) | 15:54 |
| DF3D2 | has 4 ports | 15:54 |
| kraftb | but it seems dmraid still is somewhat buggy | 15:54 |
| kraftb | On tuesday I just lost a whole directory without ever seeing it again | 15:54 |
| DF3D2 | kraftb: zfs man | 15:54 |
| DF3D2 | u can't beat it | 15:54 |
| Eggs_ | mcphail: ive been running it for over a year now and ive had zero errors, its great because the info about the disks is stored across multiple sectors on all disks so it never corrupts | 15:54 |
| kraftb | I use xfs since about 10 years. When I switched from gentoo to back to ubuntu I stayed with xfs | 15:55 |
| kraftb | as it is developed by SGI and quite stable | 15:55 |
| Eggs_ | DF3D2: I upgraded from a 6port mobo to an 8port as it was cheaper than the LSI card lol | 15:55 |
| kraftb | whats zfs good for? | 15:55 |
| DF3D2 | Eggs_: the guy who sold me my server shit and gave me the adaptec card said he doesn't like LSI | 15:56 |
| Eggs_ | kraftb: its great for cheap disks, its got a hash table that checks the data vs bitrot | 15:56 |
| DF3D2 | good news is a matching adaptec card is $15 on ebay | 15:56 |
| DF3D2 | lol | 15:56 |
| DF3D2 | so I can add more ports for cheap | 15:56 |

| kraftb | ok ... this wasn't the issue | 15:56 |
| Eggs_ | DF3D2: awesome, apartently you have to flash it with some jbod firmware for zfs as you dont want the raid card trying to do anything inteligent | 15:56 |
| kraftb | still "Incrementally starting RAID arrays ...." | 15:57 |
| kraftb | message loops | 15:57 |
| DF3D2 | Eggs_: yeah my adaptec is cool it just works in JBOD unless u tell it otherwise | 15:57 |
| DF3D2 | really happy with it | 15:57 |
| Eggs_ | DF3D2: awesome, got a model number for that i may have to look into it | 16:01 |

If I boot normally when the xbuntu splash request passphrase for luks everything I type on keyboard is visible end on top left angle of screen and it is not passed to cryptsetup, so I cant continue boot. instead if I boot in recovery mode and from it to "remume normal" everythings work. what can I see to solve this issue? | 16:38 |
| nithin | So I could not continue | 16:38 |
| daftykins | nithin: possibly you're booting EFI when you need to be booting legacy, or vice versa. have you read the EFI help page? | 16:39 |

| OerHeks | Bazyl, those menu items go to top panel, when thunderbird is maximized | 16:47 |
| OerHeks | Bazyl, what you mean with window launchpad, i don't know | 16:48 |
| kraftb | Found the solution for my problem: I had to manually add "dm-mod" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 16:49 |
| kraftb | It just bugged me that there isn't really a "dm-mod.ko" module and I assumed dm_ modules were for dmraid | 16:50 |
| kraftb | instead they are necessary for LVM | 16:50 |
| Bazyl | OerHeks, now i am on xchat and i can see and click on launchpad and also i can see the top tool bar with time, sound volume adjustment and so on... when i change (ctrl+tab) to Thunderbird it's all gone... | 16:50 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: have you tried to do it with pass increased to 1 or 2? | 16:50 |
| OerHeks | Bazyl, that changing to the top panel is called global-menu, you can disable that | 16:50 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: or maybe with the disk label as /dev/sdb1 just to test that | 16:51 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, yes I have tried with both | 16:51 |
| Bazyl | OerHeks, ok so items on my global-menu disapear | 16:52 |
| Bazyl | OerHeks, the only way to leave Thunderbird window is ctrl+tab... | 16:52 |
| OerHeks | Bazyl, see https://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/disable-the-global-menu-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 16:52 |
| OerHeks | works for 14.04 too, afaik | 16:52 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: what is the error message? | 16:52 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, Well I can test that, but that wouldnt be a solution I cloned my old failing harddrive, and now Ubuntu is refusing to starting up without it, If I don't use the uuid Ubuntu does confuse the 2 drives | 16:53 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, it'just telling me it tries to start plymouth | 16:54 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, uncommenting that line solves the issue thought. | 16:54 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, commenting not uncommenting I mean | 16:55 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: and can you mount the disk with mount once your in? | 16:56 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, I assue I screwed up the fstab syntax somehow, but I don't know | 16:56 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: which line do you comment out to make it work? | 16:57 |
| AndroUser6738638 | What is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade? | 16:58 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, yes :-) Please notice the system won't boot without the faling harddrive (the old one) it does however works if I have the new drive installed as well (those are both (USB-drives) | 16:59 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, this one UUID=12316065-d647-4fbf-b94e-827233bff900 /media/zteam/Master ext4 rw,user,exec 0 0 | 16:59 |
| Eggs_ | Zteam: Zteam looks fine to be, is the folder empty? | 17:01 |
| Zteam | Eggs_, nope, /media/zteam/Master is not empty, as I said before both the cloned (new drive) and the failing one (old one) works for making the system happy again | 17:04 |

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 and I am having a problem with my graphics (video), which is apparent while playing videos or displaying quickly changing graphics - looks like problem with display sync - for a fraction of a second, part of the screen is displaying the new frame, while part is still displaying the previous, apparently. | 18:23 |
| AlexQ | The division line is horizontal and usually somewhere in the middle of the display | 18:23 |
| mkk | What command does virtual file system use for deleting file? (Can't find anywhere.) Unlink, remove, delete...? | 18:24 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: that's called tearing. usually due to a lack of vsync, what's your graphics hardware and driver? | 18:24 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Intel inbuilt, GMA 950 or sth like that. What's the best way to check that + the driver? | 18:25 |
| drk | hi guys. Does anyone have or had issues with no sound after suspend on ubuntu 14.04 ? | 18:25 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: hmm sounds pretty old. pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:25 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: It's an old laptop. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9370755/ | 18:26 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Oh, sorry. It's Ubuntu 14.04.1 | 18:27 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: I've been using Ubuntu on the very same laptop a couple of years ago and there was no tearing. | 18:28 |
| mkk | What command does virtual file system use for deleting file? (Can't find anywhere.) Unlink, remove, delete...? | 18:28 |
| compdoc | virtual file system? | 18:29 |
| drk | but AlexQ, maybe you yoused a few years ago other video comprimation like a divx , and if you're trying to open now 720p or 1080p it'll surely be laggy | 18:30 |
| drk | used* | 18:30 |
| jeffrey_f | mkk: explain. To the system, there should be no difference in virtual or physical file system. Once mounted, you can do normal commands. rm is delete. However, use caution as there is no recovery from rm command | 18:30 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: yes, times change... older hardware gets less focussed on... the usual | 18:30 |
| AlexQ | drk: As I am saying, it's not a video playback problem. It's an graphics display problem. | 18:30 |
| drk | AlexQ : i don't know honestly what could be the problem, maybe try to search the forums for answers | 18:33 |
| drk | unlike you, i have an issue with sound after suspend on 14.04 | 18:33 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: [ 24.914] (**) intel(0): "Tear free" disabled | 18:33 |

| primo | I'm having issues doing a command line install. The guide says use an alternative image and select "command line install" but that's not an option. Anyone have a link? | 18:35 |
| daftykins | primo: mini.iso provides a network textmode installer, is that sufficient? | 18:35 |
| _abc_ | Say, the LTS 10.04 based linuxcnc live disk, is it safe to update packages from LTS 10.04 when installing that to hdd and then setting up the system for normal use? Some packages in it are ancient. | 18:36 |
| primo | daftykins: from what I read, mini.iso image doesn't support uefi | 18:36 |
| daftykins | _abc_: "linuxcnc" ? that doesn't sound like an officially supported derivative | 18:37 |
| _abc_ | UEFI refers to uefi boot only or is it relevant also after the system runs? | 18:37 |
| daftykins | primo: i would doubt that, i've done an install with it | 18:37 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Should I create it? | 18:37 |
| _abc_ | daftykins: Well I am asking anyway. It is 10.04 LTS with realtime kernel and linuxcnc/emc2 installed | 18:37 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: yep | 18:37 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: that's the only way to set those parameters | 18:37 |
| daftykins | _abc_: 10.04 is only supported on server until April, then it's dead... | 18:38 |
| AlexQ | seems like it might work. Thanks! Rebooting | 18:38 |
| _abc_ | daftykins: I am aware. It seems they came out with a Debian based one too now | 18:39 |
| primo | _abc_: If i booted in legacy mode for the install and switched back to uefi, wouldn't the installer then install the bootloader in that mode? | 18:39 |
| === Guma_ is now known as Guma | ||
| _abc_ | We'll see. Anyway, would you say it's safe(ish) to use normal update procedures for 10.04 from that system? Worst thing that can happen is, I'll reinstall it. So no real risk, this is a toy machine connected to a cnc router I made | 18:40 |
| daftykins | primo: installs can be converted, but i don't understand why you would intentionally do it wrong to begin with | 18:40 |
| daftykins | !efi | primo | 18:40 |
| ubottu | primo: 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 | 18:40 |
| _abc_ | primo: I don't know, really. UEFI is too new for certitudes like that. | 18:40 |
| sonetea | primo: it depends on how it partitioned | 18:40 |
| daftykins | _abc_: sorry, non-ubuntu = off topic here. | 18:40 |
| sonetea | it's* | 18:40 |
| _abc_ | 10.04 is ubuntu right? | 18:40 |
| sotiredofthesest | So does anyone know what package/binary is responsible for locking the screen? Is it lightdm? | 18:41 |
| SchrodingersScat | not if it's 10.04 linuxcnc | 18:41 |
| primo | daftykins: did you do it in legacy mode? I mean, did you install with mini.iso setup to boot using the efi partition? | 18:41 |
| _abc_ | So I want to try. Pretend it's plain 10.04 and update packages as needed. The only thing which is sure to break linuxcnc is kernel update. So I won't do that. | 18:41 |
| daftykins | primo: why don't you grab it, throw it on a flash drive, boot in EFI mode and see? :) | 18:41 |
| sonetea | if it's automatically installing, it's going to be using mbr | 18:42 |
| _abc_ | Is there an ubuntu not based on gnome desktop/compiz please? | 18:42 |
| Almis90 | Guys I want to delete a file exactly 30 minutes afters its creation (cron job) what package you suggest me to use for that? | 18:42 |
| _abc_ | Almis90: atd | 18:43 |
| Almis90 | but I dont want to run cron every second | 18:43 |
| SchrodingersScat | !flavors | _abc_ a few | 18:43 |
| ubottu | _abc_ a few: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 18:43 |

| IbsinRG | Thanks | 18:44 |
| _abc_ | You don't. You do echo "rm -f /some/file"|at "now + 30min" | 18:44 |
| Chuck_Norris | IbsinRG: /j # elementaryos | 18:44 |
| Almis90 | abc but I must run this script every second right? | 18:44 |
| _abc_ | no, it queues the job and crond / atd handles it | 18:45 |
| primo | I might have to just try the mini.iso. I'm just frustrated the recently updated, official howto isn't accurate and I've spent so much time on it when i don't have the time for all this trial and error. I have a presentation for work in the am :/ | 18:45 |
| _abc_ | read the atd manpage | 18:45 |
| Almis90 | abc ok | 18:45 |
| _abc_ | Almis90: time resolution is 60 seconds | 18:45 |
| daftykins | primo: how is it that the docs are responsible for your delays? | 18:46 |
| daftykins | primo: by that, i mean is something wrong somewhere? | 18:46 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Seems to be solved! Thank you | 18:47 |
| _abc_ | Is ubuntu entirely systemd controlled now? | 18:48 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: excellent, do you happen to have an example link or video that exhibits the tearing? i have an old system with similar hardware on the shelf i'd like to test | 18:48 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Eem, it was visible on just any video that had image changing quickly enough, especially on 'panoraming' scenes | 18:49 |
| primo | daftykins: it says when you boot that command line install is a presented option. That is inaccurate. Also, the docs on it are poorly organized on this topic compared to a couple other distros. Guess i just expected more from a noob-friendly distro | 18:49 |
| AlexQ | panning maybe* is the correct word | 18:49 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: ah ok panning shots in video, roger that | 18:50 |
| Almis90 | abc yeah its exactly what I needed but is it okay to have hundreds such watchers? | 18:50 |
| _abc_ | Almis90: It's probably okay. | 18:50 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: No matter what the resolution of the video was. | 18:50 |
| primo | The problem is my fault ultimately. I shouldn't be messing around when I knew i needed my computer functional | 18:50 |
| AlexQ | Btw. that laptop is capable of 720p and 1080p playback. Actually it's much better on Xubuntu with all default codecs and drivers, than on Windows 8.1 (some problems with renderer) or Windows 7 (no problems with renderer, but occasional stutter/frame rate issues) | 18:50 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: what's the processor? | 18:51 |
| chachan | hi, can I use openvpn client to connect a server through a cisco vpn? | 18:51 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Some dual core 1.3GHz Pentium, CULV or sth (low voltage) | 18:51 |
| FreewheelinFrank | hi i want to update i2p, can i simply use console command? | 18:52 |
| wildwind | chachan: no, they are incompatible. Cisco has free native linux client AFAIK. | 18:52 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: That's an Acer 1825PTz, unfortunately with no touch panel as it's been broken. | 18:53 |
| chachan | wildwind: ok, thanks | 18:53 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: I am dual-booting with Windows 8.1 and sharing a NTFS partition between these systems. Is there any way to unmount it in Windows without the need of making a full shutdown? I've been trying to use some kind of unmounting commands, but that does not seem to physically close the filesystem as it is when doing full shutdown. Or map that partition as a removable drive instead? | 18:54 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: mmm pretty antique then :) lol @ running 8.1 on that, oh deary me | 18:54 |
| mkk | can someone explain to me what file descriptor is? In simple terms please. I have read wiki's article | 18:55 |

| AlexQ | daftykins: I think now I might be having some minor issues with windows rendering when switching apps | 18:56 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: sorry i don't use desktop so i don't understand all that auto mounting stuff. i'm only used to manual mounts via /etc/fstab - however you can type "mount" by itself in the terminal and see the mountpoint / device name of the NTFS partition and run "sudo umount /dev/sdX#" | 18:56 |
| sotiredofthesest | thanks squinty | 18:57 |
| daftykins | MandaMae: "cat /etc/issue" ? | 18:57 |

| daftykins | MandaMae: run that in the terminal please. | 18:58 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: I don't want to remove it completely, just to be able to unmount and close the filesystem before hibernating/quick shutdown | 18:58 |
| daftykins | jazzzu: #ubuntu-server | 18:58 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: why? | 18:59 |
| MandaMae | Daftykins: "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l" | 18:59 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: To be able to write to that partition on Ubuntu | 18:59 |
| wildwind | AlexQ: diskmgmt.msc as daftykins pointed out or mountvol in console. but it's offtopic here. | 19:00 |
| AlexQ | wildwind: I know it's offtopic; just thought some Ubuntu/Linux users might just have experience with that when dual booting. | 19:01 |
| jazzzu | daftykins: thanks ill ask it there | 19:01 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: just shutdown Windows properly | 19:01 |
| AlexQ | wildwind: I think I tried to use mountvol from console and then doing quit shutdown or hibernation, but there still was that mounting error on Ubuntu. | 19:02 |
| AlexQ | daftykins: Having to make a full shutdown of Windows is quite irritating. It takes much more time to both shut down and boot up; hibernation is really fast, even on that ancient hardware (Win8.1 wakes up in around 25 secs from power button press, with 10 seconds to reach GRUB, so not bad). | 19:02 |
| wildwind | AlexQ: I use USB drives in such cases. | 19:02 |
| AlexQ | Btw. how to enable hibernation in 14.04.1? | 19:03 |
| AlexQ | I mean, is it feasible/stable? | 19:04 |
| daftykins | AlexQ: i understand how it works. maybe go chat to ##windows then | 19:04 |
| daftykins | as mentioned it's OT here | 19:04 |
| sotiredofthesest | hi squinty, sorry to bother you again, but I don't have light-locker on my system | 19:04 |
| sotiredofthesest | squinty, how do I tell what's locking the screen then? | 19:05 |
| wildwind | AlexQ: what do you mean 'quick shutdown'? | 19:05 |
| AlexQ | wildwind: The default shutdown in Windows 8.1, I think it's called 'hybrid'. | 19:05 |
| wildwind | AlexQ: Oh yes. | 19:06 |
| _abc_ | Quick shutdown means, do not spend 3 minutes doing nothing obvious then stopping the shutdown process with a modal popup asking me if I really want to shut down, because I really want to, and I was hoping it was shut down already by then. | 19:07 |
| _abc_ | Iow emulating Windows' habit to take its sweet time shutting down is NOT a desirable feature in Ubuntu. It should ask immediately or not at all. | 19:08 |
| AlexQ | _abc_: My Xubuntu shuts down really quickly. It's almost like a power-off xD When I shut down with Chromium left open (or running in background), it reports that it was not closed properly, so strange. | 19:09 |
| FreewheelinFrank | hi i want to update i2p, can i simply use console command? | 19:10 |
| EriC^^ | _abc_: i think the quick shutdown is hibernate | 19:10 |
| EriC^^ | _abc_: you don't want that | 19:10 |
| AlexQ | _abc_: EriC^^: What "quick shutdown" are you guys talking about? And in what OS? | 19:11 |
| MandaMae | how do I check PolicyKit Authentication Agent in Startup Programs, Sorry to sound stupid but I don't know where to go, I've only used Mint. | 19:11 |

| wildwind | AlexQ: you coined it 5 min. before :) | 19:13 |
| === Guest35988 is now known as ET_Warrior | ||
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Then no, it's not hibernate. I mean hybrid shutdown, the default shutdown in Windows 8 and 8.1. As you can guess, it's kind of a hybrid of normal shutdown and hibernation. It does not preserve state of programs etc. | 19:14 |
| AlexQ | EriC^^: Apparently, it also does not close filesystems on local drives. | 19:15 |
| EriC^^ | AlexQ: ah ok, yeah it's a sort of hibernate without saving the programs | 19:15 |
| AlexQ | sort of a partial hibernation. | 19:17 |

| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| _DeLa_ | this question might seem very naive to most of you, but I'll ask it anyway: is it possible to infect once ubuntu 14.04 based pc with any kind of malware by simply pluging in an infected usb stick and do nothing exept open some png-images files from the usb stick? | 19:36 |
| VelhoP4_ | trism, so the source is debian? i checked other parts of the manual, the portuguese version in very complicated to read. Ive noticed that the english version is nice and simple. The translations seems to be done by google translate... | 19:37 |
| _abc_ | No _DeLa_ , unless the usb stick was manipulated and is now more than a usb stick. | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | _DeLa_, or it cam affect any windows installs on your network, or so I've heard | 19:38 |
| ikeboy | I can't change my grub settings; when i edit them and run sudo update-grub, nothing happens | 19:38 |

| _DeLa_ | _abc_: BluesKaj: thanks for your answers | 19:39 |
| drk | i can't listen to music via headphones | 19:39 |
| drk | when I plug them out everything works fin | 19:39 |
| trism | VelhoP4_: well, the source is in ubuntu too, it's just one of those things that should also be fixed in debian and then filter back into ubuntu. I'm sure they would be very happy to get a better translation, and an ubuntu bug would be a good start either way | 19:39 |

| BluesKaj | make sure there's no #in front of the lines you're editing, ikeboy | 19:40 |
| ikeboy | it's not that | 19:40 |
| ikeboy | could my grub be installed in the wrong place or something? | 19:40 |
| _abc_ | Vespian: one more thing: there is no guarantee the sim card reader uses a plain ascii protocol. | 19:40 |
| ikeboy | the file is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9371580/ | 19:41 |
| ikeboy | and grub doesn't start automatically, I need to press enter to start ubuntu | 19:42 |
| rago | @drk I had the same problem, go the sound settings and increase the volume for your head/ear phone | 19:42 |
| _DeLa_ | my question had the following background: today, I plugged in an usb stick to transfer a few png files whose owner (windows user) later told me that the stick was probably infected...at first I didn't worry of course, but then I remembered that around the time of plugging in the stick there was wine window openend stating some kind of update....wine itself wasn't opened but the window was deifinetly there....so I was quite scared...what happened? maybe | 19:42 |
| _DeLa_ | there was some autorun on the usb stick that resulted in the wine window? | 19:42 |
| drk | @rago, I did that and nothing changes | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | ikeboy, when you update grub is there any output? | 19:43 |
| trism | VelhoP4_: you might also want to talk to the people in #ubuntu-doc they might be able to help you out | 19:44 |
| ikeboy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9371627/ | 19:44 |
| VelhoP4_ | trism, thanks friend | 19:44 |
| _abc_ | _DeLa_: I don't know what you did, and yes, wine should not run when you stick in a stick. But autorun is not interpreted by ubuntu normally. | 19:46 |

| _DeLa_ | _abc_: should scanning my whole system with bitdefender or clamtk put me on the safe side? | 19:48 |
| ikeboy | what command should i run? | 19:48 |
| krasnayarsk | If I wanted to create a virtual machine to test a modification of my installation, to see if what I can expect if I actually made the changes to my computer, how would I create the virtual machine? Would I need to make a copy of my installed system to an empty partition? I am new to this so bare with me. | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | ikeboy, ok got it now ...exactly what are you trying to edit in grub? | 19:50 |
| ikeboy | the last line was supposed to make grub start ubuntu without input, but my grub just waits until I press enter | 19:50 |
| krasnayarsk | Maybe I should ask in Linux. | 19:51 |
| _abc_ | _DeLa_: maybe. Yes you should do that. But I would look in syslog where wine should have left a mark. Scroll or search for about the wall clock time when it happened. | 19:52 |
| confrey | hi everybody | 19:52 |
| in_deep_thought | can someone give me help on installing ubuntu? I have the iso file on my usb stick, I put in in my computer, I booted it, I went to the bios, now I need to find the usb stick in the bios. Where Do I look? Under Select boot device, all I See is a virtual device I presume it uses normally. Where can I find physical devices? | 19:52 |
| backbox | hi | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | ikeboy just edit this line and change the number, GRUB_TIMEOUT="10" | 19:53 |
| _DeLa_ | _abc_: will do! thanks so much! | 19:53 |
| ikeboy | changed it to 1, but why would 1 work and not 10? | 19:54 |
| confrey | I need some help to manage rub, efi, and windows8; I've just installed 14.04, but I gt a fatal error about installing bootloader, and now I don't know exactly what to do; I started ubuntu manually from grub menu by a usb key, how may I install grub in uefi mode properly? | 19:54 |
| confrey | in_deep_thought, is your pc uefi or legacy stadard? | 19:55 |
| BluesKaj | ikeboy, the last last line is the problem,I think, just comment it | 19:55 |
| _abc_ | _DeLa_: Okay my wine does not log in syslog. Also you can search for files changed since then, using find ... -ctime -1 for files changed in the last day | 19:55 |
| ikeboy | I added the last line yesterday after coming here. It was supposed to fix the problem, but didn't | 19:56 |
| ikeboy | it wasn't the problem as i had the same problem before I added it also | 19:56 |
| _DeLa_ | _abc_: could you please write the exact terminal command? ctime -1 doesn't work | 19:57 |
| _abc_ | find ~ -ctime -1 searches changed files in your home dir. Likewise f.ex. ctime -1 /media/somevolume searches that | 19:58 |
| _abc_ | There's also mtime and atime depending on what exactly you think you are looking for | 19:58 |
| in_deep_thought | confrey: how do I check that/find out? | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, how old is your pc? | 20:00 |
| in_deep_thought | dell precision t5600 | 20:00 |
| in_deep_thought | i think its pretty new | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | since 2010? | 20:01 |
| in_deep_thought | yeah | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | then it's probly uefi/bios | 20:01 |
| in_deep_thought | good to know. so would I find the usb stick under “select boot device” and if so, why is there only 1 virtual drive listed there? | 20:02 |
| Vespian | _abc_: I give up on this for today. I'll try again on Monday. | 20:02 |
| === pixelfog is now known as Guest11032 | ||
| _abc_ | Vespian: Interesting you brought this up, I also have a sim usb card reader buried somewhere in a box. I'll see what it does. | 20:03 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: where? | 20:03 |
| _DeLa_ | re...args | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, in the uefi/bios do you see the boot section , is the hard drive listed or cdrom ? | 20:03 |
| in_deep_thought | Its under Ctrl Mgmt | 20:04 |
| in_deep_thought | there is also PD Mgmt | 20:04 |
| in_deep_thought | VD Mgmt | 20:04 |
| in_deep_thought | and Properties | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, in most uefi/bios it's the second last section moving from left to right | 20:05 |
| confrey | in_deep_thought, I think you must press a key to access to boot menu at startup, in my lenovo I do that by pressing F12, a menu appears, with window bootloader, USB efi, nd other voices about IPV4 (NO MATTER) at that point I choose USB efi and PC starts from usb stick | 20:05 |
| in_deep_thought | BluesKaj: right thats Ctrl Mgmt | 20:05 |

| in_deep_thought | confrey: I have done that, thats how I entered this BIOS thing I am in. I need to figure out how to put the USB stick as the “boot device”, but all thats currently listed is a VD (virtual drive?) | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, guess not , you must have a booot section that lists the real drives on the pc not the virtuals | 20:07 |
| confrey | in_deep_thought, I can't help you better... sorry, each BIOS might have a different interface, | 20:07 |
| in_deep_thought | BluesKaj: I have PD management. That lists 4 Sata drives. But I see no usb drive | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, try the legacy mode | 20:08 |
| in_deep_thought | BluesKaj: is that something I would change on the BIOS im in? or a different button I press upon starting the comp? | 20:09 |
| === moresnow is now known as morsnowski | ||
| alex_217 | wtf | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, do you see a listing for uefi mode or some such, choose that and dialog with legacy as another option should open | 20:11 |
| bubbasaures | alex_217, Do not swear here. | 20:11 |
| in_deep_thought | ah ha F2 says entering setup. rather than F12 which says preparing one time boot menu | 20:12 |
| bubbasaures | this is not twitter | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | oh lord, I thought you were actaully in the bios | 20:12 |
| in_deep_thought | BluesKaj: yep Im a dangus. well this is looking better | 20:13 |
| alex_217 | bubbasaures: Man, where is twitter ? | 20:13 |
| in_deep_thought | well uhhh not 100% better. the setup screen is like turquoise and flashing giving me a seizure. Not purple and orange and relaxing | 20:14 |
| in_deep_thought | Is there anything about flashing the usb stick froma mac onto /dev/disk1 that might “mess up” my version of ubuntu? this one seems not right | 20:16 |
| EriC^^ | in_deep_thought: try it on another pc | 20:16 |
| azizLIGHT | how come i cant delet things to a trash can on secondary hard drive? i have it mounted via /etc/fstab using this line: UUID=98E607E0E607BE0E /media/aziz/Backup ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | 20:19 |
| rjonesx1 | what user does cron run as in ubuntu? | 20:19 |
| azizLIGHT | it asks me to delete them forever | 20:20 |
| in_deep_thought | ahh man. now I have to figure out how to enter the bios on this other machine. Its not F12 or F2 this time | 20:20 |
| EriC^^ | rjonesx1: i think the user's cron | 20:20 |
| in_deep_thought | each computer needs to have instructions for entering the bios imprinted onto the case | 20:20 |
| rjonesx1 | I am trying to run a simple php script via cron (php /var/www/html/create.crawl.php). When I run from the command line, it works, when I run from crontab, it fails... weird | 20:22 |
| _abc_ | Use the full path for php and set the environment and run directory right. | 20:23 |
| _abc_ | in the script. | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | in_deep_thought, sometimes it's Fn+F2 | 20:24 |
| === [Tristan] is now known as Guest38445 | ||
| in_deep_thought | BluesKaj it was F12 but I was pressing F2 as well which was making it not work. In any case the installer works fine on another computer. I guess its the computer and not the stick thats the issue | 20:25 |
| Lucax | When I type a command in terminal and nothing happens, what does it mean? it worked or didn't work? | 20:25 |
| tigerpledd | Hello! Have anything changed with regards to the sound drivers within the last month or so? I've been on a break from ubuntu and when I came back everything (sound from all sources, javascript, flash, sometimes graphics.) stutters. My CPU/GPU is far from maxed, and I've confirmed the issue is there on the fresh install (newly downloaded image) of Xubuntu 14.04 LTS both befopre and after updates. | 20:25 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: which command? | 20:25 |
| Lucax | sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://opensource.conformal.com/packages/ubuntu/$(lsb_release -rs)/\$(ARCH)/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conformal.list | 20:26 |
| Lucax | that command | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | Lucax, which command? | 20:26 |
| Lucax | I am trying to install Cyphertite | 20:26 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: check if it was written with cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conformal.list | 20:26 |
| in_deep_thought | Lucax: I think its because you aren’t closing the quotations. It expects more entries before it executes anything? idk just my noob guess | 20:27 |
| === krasnaya1sk is now known as krasnayarsk | ||
| Lucax | eric: what do you mean? how do I check that, I am just a beginner following an installation proceedure even though the command is long it doesn't tell me much | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: if it returned nothing then it probably worked | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: you can check the contents of the file it wrote to with cat | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: you should get the deb https://.... if you run cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conformal.list | 20:31 |

| === jee1mr1 is now known as jee1mr | ||
| Lucax | how to I check the content of that file and how do i get the deb https://....as you mentioned? | 20:34 |

| Lucax | no such file or directory | 20:35 |
| Lucax | which is the answer I wanted I guess | 20:35 |
| Lucax | nothing happened | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: did your command end with ' ? | 20:35 |
| Lucax | no | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | hmm | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | ok try ending the command with ' | 20:36 |
| Lucax | should I end it with ? | 20:36 |
| Lucax | I mean ' | 20:36 |
| Lucax | ok | 20:36 |
| Lucax | ok, now it looks like this : > | 20:37 |

| Lucax | ok back to normal, what does it mean when > happens? | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | it's waiting for you to continue the command i think | 20:38 |
| Lucax | I didn't type sudo sh-c' yet no | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | ok i meant in the first command, did it end with ' ? | 20:39 |

| in_deep_thought | has anyone ever seen this before? the installer screen is turqoise and flashing. Not purple like it is on most computers.

| BluesKaj | err instructions | 20:53 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: you could use this to get the 12.04 package, i don't think apt would install any older dependencies, so you could try grabbing the package and see if the dependencies are satisfied, anyways use at your own risk.. sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://opensource.conformal.com/packages/ubuntu/12.04/\$(ARCH)/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conformal.list | 20:54 |

| Vanny | OerHeks: Oh my apologies, the chat on the start page linked here. I hear its based of ubuntu? Anyways. Sorry for the confusion :/ | 21:12 |
| ventanitas | hello whats your name) | 21:12 |
| ventanitas | ? | 21:12 |
| retroispresto | i've decided to try upgrading from 8.04.4 to 10.04.4 | 21:12 |
| Pici | ventanitas: #ubuntu is for support with Ubuntu itself, if you are looking to chat, check out #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps #ubuntu-es-offtopic | 21:12 |
| retroispresto | then see where to go after that | 21:12 |
| retroispresto | because they are both LTS | 21:13 |
| ventanitas | No english | 21:13 |
| retroispresto | and 8.04 and 10.04 are both gnome 2 | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | e | 21:14 |
| EriC^^ | o | 21:14 |
| EriC^^ | l | 21:14 |
| ventanitas | hello eric | 21:14 |
| retroispresto | i know they're eol, but i'm still running 8.04.4 lts | 21:14 |
| retroispresto | a jump straight to a supported version would probably render the system unusable | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | well i'm rooting for you | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | fwiw | 21:15 |
| Kurvivor | nmap seems confusing. oh well. I will try to read the manuals and try to understand how to discover everything in my local network, then | 21:16 |
| EriC^^ | Kurvivor: zenmap is the gui for nmap it's very easy and intuitive | 21:16 |
| retroispresto | !define intuitive | 21:16 |
| retroispresto | D: | 21:17 |
| ventanitas_ | no english!!!! | 21:17 |
| retroispresto | now i have to use effort .-. | 21:17 |
| ventanitas_ | >:D | 21:17 |
| Kurvivor | EriC^^: well, it is easy in representing results of nmap runs | 21:17 |
| Kurvivor | but all i get is 'Host seems down' | 21:17 |
| EriC^^ | Kurvivor: you have to add the -Pn or something | 21:18 |
| EriC^^ | to the command it's running | 21:18 |
| Kurvivor | and i don't really know how to discover other ips in my local network | 21:18 |
| retroispresto | ping 192.168.1.1 | 21:18 |
| ventanitas | hola | 21:19 |
| Kurvivor | 100% packat loss | 21:19 |
| retroispresto | Hint: if your using ping to check your network connection, you can add -c [number of times you want it to ping] | 21:19 |
| Kurvivor | or rather i should, otherwice it is Ctrl-C time | 21:20 |
| ventanitas_ | hwello how is there | 21:20 |
| Kurvivor | could you explain what command should i use to try and determine what IPs are there in my local network? | 21:20 |
| retroispresto | On Windows if you press CTRL + ALT + DELETE it reboots the computer instantly. It doesn't work after it's in the desktop | 21:21 |
| retroispresto | Only when booting up~ | 21:21 |
| daftykins | Kurvivor: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.x-y (where x is the first IP and y is the last (e.g. .1-254) | 21:21 |
| Lucax | i am trying to build from source now | 21:21 |
| retroispresto | Lucax: what from source? | 21:21 |
| Lucax | and it says: no such file or directory when there certainly is such a file or directory | 21:22 |
| Lucax | cyphtertite | 21:22 |
| ary | k1l | 21:22 |
| Kurvivor | daftykins: thanks a lot! | 21:22 |
| ary | k1l, are you there mate? | 21:22 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: yeah? | 21:23 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, Did you read the wiki? | 21:23 |
| Lucax | I read the wiki | 21:23 |
| retroispresto | Kurvivor, if you ping you could always open another terminal, type xkill and hit the pinging terminal | 21:23 |
| Lucax | wiki tells nothing more than what the website does | 21:23 |
| retroispresto | or if your on a eol version of ubuntu, just click the kill icon in the task bar :P | 21:23 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, Did you see the extra packages to install possibly? | 21:23 |
| bubbasaures | the wiki is more detailed on the install Lucax | 21:24 |
| bubbasaures | both the tar or deb | 21:24 |
| Lucax | yes, that is what I liked, there was just this sudo apt-install and a ginormous list of packages install in a second | 21:24 |
| retroispresto | Lucax | 21:25 |
| Lucax | but still it tells me No such file or directory when I execute tar zvxf cyphertite-full-2.0.4.tar.gz in the respective directory | 21:25 |

| retroispresto | sudo apt-get install [package] --no-install-recommends | 21:25 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, Did you try the deb? | 21:25 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, Really there is no 14.04 release, I assume you're running 14.04. | 21:26 |
| Lucax | no I am confused | 21:26 |
| Lucax | haha | 21:26 |
| Lucax | so that means I am trying to build from source something that doesn't exist? | 21:26 |
| retroispresto | how can i make it default to not install any recommended packages? | 21:27 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, Hard to say, as you cannot really give exacting details, and have no real experience it seems in this area, and probably don;t know the cd to folders process. | 21:28 |
| bubbasaures | That's all okay it just makes it hard to help. | 21:28 |
| retroispresto | I have a beast Mac o.o | 21:29 |
| Lucax | yes, maybe I am too eager. back to command line for dummies, haha! | 21:29 |
| retroispresto | It can compile wine and all of it's dependancies with one -j in about 7 minutes | 21:29 |
| bubbasaures | Lucax, We want to help, some are just better than others in specific areas and deciphering the users processes. ;) | 21:30 |
| ary | Hi. Some time ago i had a problem with libreoffice and was sayed that the problem was my video memory. So I bouth a new motherboard because my old mb passed out. But this new motherboard have Radeon 3000 integrated video chipset, and i have installed the fglrx from ubuntu repos, but those drivers are not so fine. I know that this integrated video chipset can be too much better then it is now. I think that the driver is not the proper driver. I | 21:30 |
| ary | t is using Xorg to render the video. How can I install the proper driver for this card? | 21:30 |
| daftykins | ary: your card is unsupported by fglrx | 21:31 |
| daftykins | ary: you have no choices, you're better off buying a simple cheap card to put in that system - the 3000 is not supported on any ubuntu version that is still supported | 21:31 |
| Lucax | So let's start from scratch, I can build from source, install the tarball: cyphertite-full-2.0.4.tar.gz modified October 30 2014 or I can install from package, which would you recommend? | 21:32 |
| Lucax | the deb? | 21:32 |
| daftykins | ary: however if you are the one that came by the other day with this issue... have you booted without nomodeset with the open source 'radeon' driver yet? | 21:32 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: you need to install a lot of dependencies to get it to work | 21:33 |
| daftykins | Lucax: 1) repo is best 2) deb's second 3) other methods last - but none are supported by us | 21:33 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: type sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://opensource.conformal.com/packages/ubuntu/12.04/\$(ARCH)/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conformal.list | 21:34 |
| alexa | hello guys! I could not edit successfully an existing keyboard layout :( | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: then type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cyphertite | 21:34 |
| Lucax | I install all the dependencies allready, it is super easy, a simple sudo apt-get install LONGLISTOFDepEnDencies.. | 21:34 |
| alexa | it's in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: ok | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | then | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | type wget -O bla.deb https://opensource.conformal.com/packages/ubuntu/12.04/i386/cyphertite_2.0.4-1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i bla.deb | 21:34 |
| alexa | I edited it, it looks now exactly as it looked like when I was using 12.04 version, except that it doesn't work now :( | 21:35 |
| ary | daftykins, the fglrx is installed and working. Compiz is working fine too. But some games are too low. | 21:35 |
| ary | daftykins, I booted with nomodeset and installed fglrx, and then i boot normaly | 21:35 |
| Lucax | hmm, still it demands even more dependencies but at least it names them, it is not too many | 21:35 |
| dario_ | i have study math to the uni | 21:36 |
| alexa | anyone, please! | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: ok, install them, then type sudo dpkg -i bla.deb to try again | 21:36 |
| daftykins | ary: i doubt that, as that device isn't supported. anyway, it's utterly rubbish and you should replace it. you have no driver options at all i'm afraid | 21:37 |
| ary | daftykins, how can i see what driver the system is using? | 21:37 |
| daftykins | ary: like i said last time, "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 21:38 |
| === infamy_ is now known as infamy | ||
| Lucax | to install these dependencies it is just sudo apt-get install dependencies? | 21:38 |
| MasterPiece | Where can I find Ubuntu's upstream tracker system ? | 21:39 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: yeah | 21:39 |
| Lucax | I get these errors on all the dependencies: Package libclog2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:39 |
| Lucax | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 21:39 |
| Lucax | is only available from another source | 21:39 |
| ary | daftykins, Here it is. Doesn't before: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9372832/ | 21:40 |

| Chuck_Norris | ary: lo) that's the output that gave you the EriC^^ commands xD not mine, but... you are using free drivers, not privative, i mean not fglrx | 21:45 |
| daftykins | i have already stated fglrx does not support that device | 21:46 |
| bubbasaures | EriC^^, You're setting up a users that will be in a whole probably installing a unsupported release, and update could break it. | 21:47 |
| bubbasaures | any* | 21:47 |
| Chuck_Norris | daftykins: i read that he wanted to know what drivers is he using -.- | 21:47 |
| daftykins | yeah there was a lot more to it than that. | 21:47 |
| ary | Chuck_Norris, Ok. It is how daftykins sayd. Need a vcard that is compatible with fglrx. But why there is no driver for ubuntu for god's sake? | 21:47 |
| EriC^^ | bubbasaures: i'm going to tell him to remove the ppa once he installs the package | 21:47 |
| EriC^^ | so it doesn't break anything in the future | 21:48 |

| Lucax | ? | 21:50 |
| EriC^^ | Lucax: from the sites repo | 21:50 |
| EriC^^ | did you add that sudo sh -c command? | 21:50 |
| bubbasaures | EriC^^, Installing from source is a outlier in it running in ubuntu from the repos, is all I'm saying, personally I would have steered them away with understand in the risk. ;) | 21:51 |
| EriC^^ | bubbasaures: apt-get is not going to downgrade any packages it finds in the repo, so it will only pull what's necessary for the package to install, there is no risk | 21:51 |
| EriC^^ | bubbasaures: i just said use at your own risk earlier cause it is a bit unorthodox | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | MasterPiece: Partial answer to your question: https://merges.ubuntu.com/ | 21:52 |

To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:04 |

| imastupidguest | Chuck_Norris: Ok, I did that and was success with sudo chown myRealUserName:myRealUserName but still does not work when I try to mount the image through vbox. Here is a screenshot of what I'm looking at (maybe it makes more sense to you) : http://imgur.com/0ALgwZy | 22:12 |

| imastupidguest | Chuck_Norris: Just pondering on something. Now if the problems with mounting guest additions is that it's already mounted (and mounting it was my goal) - then there's nothing to do, right? If it's mounted already it's mounted already - or am I missing something here? | 22:25 |
| imastupidguest | Why would 'you don't have a problem to begin with' be a problem for anyone? | 22:25 |
| Chuck_Norris | imastupidguest: idk, it was like your virtual cd/dvd drive was already in use or something like, so it doesnt wanted to mount any other thing -.- | 22:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | it didnt* | 22:27 |
| retroispresto | so far the upgrade to 10.04.4 is going well | 22:28 |
| xangua | retroispresto: are you planning to upgrade to 12.04 as well? 10.04 desktop is no longer supported | 22:29 |
| dontpet | So, PXE/Kickstart: does anyone know why the installer would ignore the %end after a %packages declaration in a kickstart config? | 22:29 |
| retroispresto | xangua: yes, after 10.04.4 is done. An upgrade straight to 12.04.5 would almost definately brick the system | 22:30 |
| dontpet | it's driving me mad | 22:30 |
| imastupidguest | Chuck_Norris: In my Ubuntu guest, it appears that guest additions is mounted. Is there some component of guest additions where it needs to be installed to the guest? | 22:30 |

| xangua | retroispresto: as far as I remember you are using a limited resource machine, so why didn't you go with Lubuntu as you were told severald times yesterday? newer Ubuntu releases need more resources | 22:31 |
| retroispresto | I have medicial conditions, i have patience to sit at a desk for 6 hours watching a progress bar move along | 22:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | imastupidguest: mmm... i don't remember very well but if it's mounted then check /media... and see what inside that iso, and if there is an installer or something | 22:32 |
| xangua | retroispresto: a fresh Lubuntu install would be faster that sitting 6 hours to uprade | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | retroispresto: While you're watching the progress bar move along, download and burn (or load onto a USB drive) Lubuntu 14.04 so that if things die you have rescue media on hand. | 22:33 |

| imastupidguest | Ok. Sounds like a good idea. I think I see what's going on. My ubuntu install image was still configured to be what's mounted to /dev/sr0. I thought I had changed that setting; but, since the setting change was made while the guest was running, i tmay note have took. | 22:34 |

| Chuck_Norris | imastupidguest: how did you install "GuestAdditions" from ubuntu repos? | 22:36 |
| dontpet | @bekks which one? | 22:36 |

| vifino | ;) | 22:37 |
| dontpet | @bekks lines 24-28 used to be uncommented | 22:37 |
| dontpet | (before lines 20-21 existed) | 22:38 |
| bekks | dontpet: maybe the whitespace after the @ breaks it? | 22:38 |
| dontpet | hmm... I'll try that if my single line hack fails. thanks for the suggestion! | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: There is an option for doing that in the Ubuntu installer (that doesn't require use of subvolumes or separate partitions at all), though 1: I haven't used the feature (or Ubuntu's installer) for years and 2: I have no idea if Ubuntu's installer properly handles existing btrfs subvolumes. | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: You should however habe backups of any important data, no matter what you're doing. | 22:41 |
| retroispresto | my eee pc 4g surf is my intellectual property | 22:41 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: well yes I have backups | 22:42 |
| EvilRoey | just wondering what the utility of BTRFS is if the installer cannot handle installating making sure not to nuke all the subvols | 22:43 |
| EvilRoey | *installing. | 22:43 |
| EvilRoey | haha, installating. | 22:43 |
| azizLIGHT | how do i check what partition table a usb hdd has? | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | azizLIGHT: sudo parted -l | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: I have no idea if it can or not. To check for the sanity of your proposal, what paths other than /home/ are you trying to preserve? | 22:45 |
| EvilRoey | just /home, actually | 22:45 |
| EvilRoey | oh, and /archive (which is where I put media) | 22:45 |
| EvilRoey | I have a few volumes that I hang off of / | 22:45 |
| dreamcat4 | has anyone else been experiencing boot problems on the latest 14.10 kernel 3.XXX.25 ? | 22:45 |
| dreamcat4 | or is it just me ? | 22:46 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: //home, /archive, /porn-for-the-greater-good, etc. | 22:46 |
| dm7freek | I have LDAP and just messed with my routing a bit. Now when I try to log in, I get a black screen followed by the same login screen. What's going on? | 22:46 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: and with BTRFS being this meta-container for volumes, I am concerned that if I remove it and re-make it in the partition table, it will wipe out those subvols that I did not want touched. | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: I expect Ubiquity's feature for installing over an existing system (overwriting only "system" directories) will work fine for you. No guarantees though :) | 22:47 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: thanks for ansewring | 22:47 |
| EvilRoey | heh :) | 22:47 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: I was hoping to do a clean installation | 22:47 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: in the worst case, I'll jsut copy the data back frombackup. | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: Try it out and tell me how it goes, I'm curious :) | 22:47 |
| EvilRoey | ;) | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | EvilRoey: Note that i expect that the default will be to simply whipe the partition you're installing to, so please do read through the install screens carefully. | 22:48 |
| EvilRoey | aye | 22:48 |
| EvilRoey | ok, seems like we think alike on this :) | 22:48 |
| EvilRoey | Jordan_U: btw.. so the context is that my current 14.10 system is failing, | 22:48 |
| EvilRoey | and I think a fresh installation would fix that. | 22:49 |
| dreamcat4 | grrr. or does everyone here just use LTS these days ? | 22:49 |
| === matias is now known as DrCachetez | ||
| bekks | dreamcat4: Which kind of problems do you experience using 14.10? | 22:50 |
| bekks | Taking polls wont solve them ;) | 22:50 |
| dreamcat4 | bekks: well the kernel moved from 3...24 --> 2....25 recently, and at that time it's not booting for me anymore | 22:51 |
| dreamcat4 | but i need to check if its the new kernel, or some 3rd party software i've installed | 22:51 |
| bekks | dreamcat4: What exactly does it do then? | 22:51 |
| dreamcat4 | i did a re-install, but same thing happened again | 22:51 |
| dreamcat4 | boot hangs / blacnk screen | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | dreamcat4: Have you tried booting in recovery mode/ | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | ? | 22:52 |
| dreamcat4 | last thing on the log is 'makefile something runlevel S' it's all pretty strange | 22:52 |
| dreamcat4 | Jordan_U: i've been able to use the recovery mode feature. but the failure cause is still a mystery to me | 22:53 |
| dreamcat4 | it may be because i've innstalled some debian pkgs from 3rd party srcs, but the precise failure cause isn't very clear | 22:53 |
| Bashing-om | dreamcat4: Proprietary graphics driver ( not building ) ?? | 22:54 |
| __raven | cfhowlett: read again: encrypted home is no server specific function | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | dreamcat4: What happens if you select the recovery mode entry, then select the option to continue booting normally? | 22:55 |
| dreamcat4 | it could be something to do with the graphics driver. i tried removing 2 such pkgs installed from stemos repos. but that didn't solve the boot issue | 22:55 |
| Chuck_Norris | dreamcat4: what is your graphic card¿ | 22:56 |
| dreamcat4 | Jordan_U: i've just done that no on .23 kernel after re installing over the same partition (unchecked format box in the installer) | 22:56 |
| dreamcat4 | the card is an intel GMA HD 3000 / 945 or something like that | 22:56 |
| dreamcat4 | IGP | 22:56 |
| dreamcat4 | right not i've booted that way and am installing updates with software updater. i still don't understand what cruft was remaining for the problem to return since i re-installed from the live CD today | 22:58 |
| dreamcat4 | that should have wiped out everything in /etc/ /usr and /var directories and grub too. | 22:58 |
| dontpet | @bekks single line hack failed. Trying the multiline with the whitespace removed per your suggestion now. | 22:59 |
| dreamcat4 | time to reboot to finish installing the latest updates... | 22:59 |
| dm7freek | I am unable to log in via gui, only over ctrl-alt-F# (using LDAP) I have ldap auth log open. what's going on? | 22:59 |
| dreamcat4 | ah-ha. it's booted properly this time | 23:00 |
| dreamcat4 | now if i can just figure out which 3rd party software / repos NOT to re-install again (steamos most probably) | 23:01 |
| dontpet | @bekks same thing :( | 23:02 |
| dreamcat4 | question: if i add a debian-based repository into my apt-srcs list (even if it's at the bottom of the list). will that cause debian pkgs to be pulled in be accident instead of ubuntu ones ? | 23:02 |
| dreamcat4 | i suspect that was my problem here | 23:03 |

| __raven | du -h on / gives me 50 gb but df -h gives me 300 gb used space. whats wrong here? | 23:07 |
| Walex2 | __raven: nothing | 23:07 |
| Walex2 | __raven: depends on filesystem, or perhaps you need to 'fsck' | 23:08 |
| Walex2 | __raven: also use '-x' with 'du' | 23:08 |
| __raven | Walex2: deleting files does not effect the free space at all | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | maestrojed: For some reason it look like bash was trying to allocate 783 MiB of RAM in one go, and failed. What is the exact command you ran? | 23:09 |
| Walex2 | __raven: In that case 'fsck' will be quite necessary | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | __raven: What files are you deleting and how? | 23:10 |

| dm7freek | I have an nfs automount and ldap. I cannot log in w the gui. i can log in via cli, but my automount fails. can anyone help me? | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | maestrojed: Triple check that you're running "source filename.sql" at the MySQL CLI ;) | 23:12 |
| maestrojed | Jordan_U All day long buddy :) | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | maestrojed: I don't understand your last comment. | 23:12 |
| maestrojed | Jordan_U the last two commands I listed give a different error | 23:12 |
| maestrojed | Jordan_U mysql server gone away | 23:12 |
| maestrojed | Jordan_U just joking. I have double checked a bunch. | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | maestrojed: The error message you posted looks a lot like what I would expect from running "source really_large_sql_file.sql" from *bash* instead of from an SQL prompt. | 23:14 |
| maestrojed | Jordan_U interesting. I will ponder that and Quadruple check | 23:14 |
| __raven | Jordan_U: how to force a fsck on boot? i have no option to control the boot menu | 23:15 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | __raven | 23:15 |
| ubottu | __raven: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:15 |
| __raven | ok tnx | 23:16 |
| dontpet | !ks.cfg | donotpet | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | __raven: You're welcome. | 23:16 |
| maestrojed | I am sure I am on the MySQL CLI. BUT I think I just had success. I put bash into noprofile mode before entering the mysql cli. I got a few server gone away messages but it looks like it reconnected and recovered. | 23:16 |

| __raven | Jordan_U: ok that solved the problem (for now) and deletion again affects the free space | 23:23 |
| __raven | hopefully that will remain | 23:23 |
| RobBurkeOne | anything else apart from that? ;) | 23:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | RobBurkeOne: Firefox for linux use an old version, and some webpages require you to use last or near lastest version of adobe flash plugin, last version of Chome for linux uses latest | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | __raven: You should do a S.M.A.R.T. test, and maybe a memory test also to rule out failing hardware as a root cause. | 23:23 |
| __raven | another strange behaviour: exchanged ssh keys but sometimes key auth fails and it asks for password. whats that? | 23:24 |
| __raven | Jordan_U: yes thats an option... | 23:24 |
| * Chuck_Norris got no flash plugin, just so webm videos .,. | 23:24 | |
