[00:02] quidnunc2: outside please. [00:04] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9403789/ === rigor789 is now known as rigor789|away [00:05] quidnunc: that all looks fine, [00:07] ikonia, currently i have /var/www/html/mythweb along with an index.html file [00:07] EuaD: ok ? [00:07] ikonia, i don't know where to store my video file [00:08] in the document root on the web server [00:08] Thx guys, I'm copying my files from my ruined partitions ! I'll try to fix the table, but for now I see to folders copied on my External HD, feeling much better :D [00:08] ikonia, i'm unfamiliar with where that is [00:08] I made a mistake.. I accidentally deleted most of my notifications in xubuntu's panel, is there a way to undo this, or get them back? [00:08] EuaD: normaly dictated in the apache config [00:09] shurtagul, try readding indicator plugin or notification area [00:10] EuaD, I searched Notification area in add new items, but it's greyed out and wont let me add it... === annoymouse|away is now known as annoymouse [00:11] ikonia, apache2.conf? this is what was installed by default http://gyazo.com/fab64e1a89b38f5702b9c4ed18f21f7f [00:13] shurtagul: I am not familiar with xubuntu, but does this exist : /home//.config/xfce4/panel/ ? If so you can delete that file and reboot. The file will be re-created to default values . [00:13] Oh, my notification are is still there, but my clock, and everything else is gone, I jsut installed xubuntu desktop, so I just want the defaults back [00:14] EuaD: no, you need the site config [00:14] ikonia: So, any idea on why my mount table is screwed up [00:14] ? [00:14] quidnunc: no, it's most odd [00:14] quidnunc: I just did a test on mine and it worked fine [00:16] Hello, I have a quick question I have around 50GB of text files , and I need to remove duplicate lines from them. How should I go about doing this? [00:16] Rogy: have to work out a regex pattern matching for that [00:17] Rogy: sed/cut/awk would then allow you to remove them [00:17] Thanks guys, I deleted the files & restarted xfce and it remade the defaults :) [00:18] ikonia: Alright, thanks anyway [00:18] I was thinking about doing it like that, however I'm unsure if it would work across files. Aka there's a line with text "foo" in file1 and same line in file2. [00:19] I'm starting to think I should maybe just load the files into a database and have each line be one row (since I'm only worried about identical rows) and do it like that. [00:19] ikonia, there's sites-enabled and sites-available. [00:19] shurtagul: Great ! : ) [00:20] EuaD: enabled would be logical for a site thats working [00:20] ikonia, it's says it's a virtual host [00:20] correct [00:20] Rogy: are they on seperate lines? [00:21] ikonia, maybe i need to get to the basics here. where's a good tutorial for setting up a basic web server in xubuntu 14.04.1 [00:22] https://help.ubuntu.com [00:23] Rogy: sort -u /path/to/file [00:23] Rogy: it will rearrange the order though [00:23] EriC^^: Order is not a problem [00:25] ok, sort -u /path/to/file > /new/file [00:25] Rogy: for i in *.txt ; do awk '!($0 in array) { array[$0]; print }' $i > awked.$i ; done [00:25] :p [00:26] ^^ that will keep the order btw [00:26] xD yep [00:27] Chuck_Norris: Hmm, will that remove duplicates across files? For example, if there's a line with text foo in file1, and there's a line with same text in file2, will it remove that line from file2? [00:28] Chuck_Norris: (Hopefully that made sense, apologies if it's a bit confusing replacing sleep with coffee doesn't work always) [00:28] i did a test recently and it worked like a charm, i did 2 archive with 4 lines where 2 of them duplicated, and it worked, it made [00:29] Rogy: yes i will remove duplicate lines across files [00:30] it* will [00:30] Chuck_Norris: will try it now [00:30] Chuck_Norris: no it wont [00:31] Chuck_Norris: he means as if the files are concatenated and it's doing the awk on it [00:31] ( as if all the files are 1 ) === ubuntu is now known as Guest83677 [00:33] Rogy: EriC^^ is this ok? http://i.imgur.com/udAehLk.png [00:34] is that the result he spect? [00:34] nope [00:35] he wants if there is in test1 and test2 the same line it only leaves one [00:35] he could cat them and run awk then split them again [00:35] Chuck_Norris: Yep, what EriC^^ said [00:35] or maybe use comm or something to get it done [00:36] comm can tell you which lines are in common between the two files [00:36] Since I'm lazy I'll just shove it all into a database and run a query, seems to have least hassle. Thanks for the help anyways guys, much apprecieted :) [00:37] oh! now i undertand, idk about comm but i think "uniq" does something like that too [00:38] i want to install vomiting vertigo, where can i get them? [00:39] !find vomiting [00:39] Package/file vomiting does not exist in utopic [00:39] i can't remember those codenames sorry [00:40] vivid vanguard or something [00:40] !vivid [00:40] Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [00:40] many thanks mrs xangua [00:47] EriC^^: lo) for i in *.txt ; do sort -u $i > sorted.$i ; done [00:48] yeah that's the same though [00:48] it won't do it across files [00:50] hi [00:51] anyone out there to chat with? [00:51] try #ubuntu-offtopic [00:52] i am new to this place [00:52] what is going on here [00:52] This is help channel. [00:52] #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat. [00:52] oh ok [00:52] good start to read a topic [00:53] so all questions are welcomed right? [00:53] ok [00:53] very new to linux [00:53] If you need help yes, whats on your mind. [00:54] depends client, but do /join #ubuntu-offtopic if you aint sure. [00:59] EriC^^: for i in *.txt ; do awk '!($0 in array) { array[$0]; print }' $i | uniq $i > awked.$i ; done -.- [01:00] where is my cookie ? -.- [01:00] !cookie | Chuck_Norris [01:00] Chuck_Norris: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:00] xD [01:00] ty OerHeks [01:01] i'm out of practice i was good at that stuff xD [01:02] salut [01:02] Chuck_Norris: still the same [01:02] it's not across files [01:02] :P [01:02] what's the proper way to have tty8 (ctrl alt f8) have a GUI like tty7? [01:02] y'a des francais ? [01:02] I want to run games on tty8 [01:03] Chuck_Norris: the uniq $i is returning the uniq lines of $i alone ( not checking if it's in other files or not ) [01:03] Chuck_Norris: also uniq only works if it's a sorted file, you have to use sort first [01:03] Ii'm helping a friend install Ubuntu and it looks like windows is taking up 5 partitions... 2 just for recovery... not sure what the others are. How can I figure out which one is safe to delete or live without? [01:04] that looks like bad config [01:04] Hello, I need help getting ubuntu installed on a UEFI device [01:04] best just wipe hard drive and install from scratch [01:04] I want to dual boot windows 8.1 [01:05] guest92394: That would work if he didn't want to dual boot [01:05] EriC^^: got it [01:05] Is there a way to move icons in xfce panel's indicator plugin? [01:05] I have an insignia flex windows tablet, and it runs full windows (x86 processor) I've tried many things, but cannot get it to boot the usb [01:05] It seems to be a bug, there's arrows, but they wont do anything, and I think other people have had the same problem [01:06] Chuck_Norris: i think it would be a headache to do it across files, you could check test1 vs test2, test1 vs test3, then test2 vs test3, or something, i'm sure there's a better way or something [01:06] Chuck_Norris: no idea [01:06] Frogg, sorry, x86 and UEFI will not work with ubuntu/linux [01:06] !uefi [01:06] 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 [01:06] Frogg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:06] codygman_: Required to know the partitoning scheme on the hard drive // MBR or GPT ? -> sudo parted -l <- from the liveDVD . [01:07] The UEFI settings are very bare bones, and dont allow for disabling uefi. though i can disable secure boot and fast boot [01:07] EriC^^: for sure awk could do that but, yeah you have to really know about awk and filters [01:07] Bashing-om: gpt [01:08] codygman_: Then with GPT you may have 128 partitions . [01:09] squinty: i did that, though it still wont boot from the usb. it just boots windows [01:10] !gpt | codygman_ [01:11] I want to run games on tty8 [01:11] what's the proper way to have tty8 (ctrl alt f8) have a GUI like tty7? [01:11] Also is it possible to have tty8 use a different driver? [01:13] guest92394, how do i wipe the disk to install from scratch? [01:14] just to clarify, it is a 64bit processor [01:15] if you really want to go that route of wiping out everything, I think the easist way is just let the Ubuntu install "wipe the entire drive" (close to that exact choice of words) [01:15] during the partiting step [01:15] Frogg: you want to convert to gpt? [01:15] if possible, i'd just advice to doulbe check you have all your stuff backed up first [01:16] whatever gets me dual booting in the long run [01:16] "just in case" / the "measure twice, cut once" thing [01:16] whats one the drive now? [01:17] i cant even access ubuntu, the usb doesnt boot. and since it's a new tablet, i dont really have anything to back up [01:17] (note: * i have no experience with this UEFI stuff if it invloves that) someone else in here could be more helpful in that case [01:18] a) since its a tablet, someone other than me could be more useful :P ... B) thats what I did with my new (now a few years old) laptop .. i started doing dualboot type stuff BEFORE i put to much data that I could lose on it [01:18] Is there a way to move icons in xfce panel's indicator plugin? [01:18] shurtagul: right click then edit or something [01:19] EriC^^, yesh, I think there's a bug, the arrows do nothing [01:19] basically, if you plug a mouse and keyboard into the tablet, it functions as a full windows 8 computer... that doesnt like booting usb... [01:21] I found a fix finally... [01:21] hopefully i am in the market before this toshiba dies on me but really ... i'd think i'd go with (for my next "PC type purchase") another laptop [01:21] I should try harder before I ask [01:21] shurtagul: try right click then panel properties [01:21] then items [01:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-indicator-plugin/+bug/1311606 [01:21] oops wrong channel for that [01:21] Launchpad bug 1307657 in unity-gtk-module (Ubuntu Trusty) "duplicate for #1311606 [SRU] UBUNTU_MENUPROXY should not be set in Xfce" [Undecided,In progress] [01:21] sorry [01:21] It was a bug [01:22] shurtagul: cool [01:33] Can anyone explain to me why firefox is lagging when i scroll?

There only seems to be 1 PPA which has tmux, but I don't know if I can deem it as trustworthy - https://launchpad.net/~pi-rho/+archive/ubuntu/dev?field.series_filter=precise - would you deem this as trustworthy? [01:48] !list [01:48] leonardo_: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [01:49] Does anyone recognize this date format?: 1348185600 [01:49] freeroute: utopic has it. [01:49] rypervenche: right, but I'm on 12.04 [01:50] freeroute: It still may work if it doesn't require too many dependencies. Otherwise you can compile it from source and turn it into a deb package using checkinstall instead of make install. [01:51] rypervenche: you mean enable 14.10's PPA on here? [01:51] also when compiling, am I going to receive updates when I do apt-get update && apt-get updgrade ? [01:51] *after compiling [01:52] freeroute: No, I mean grab the deb package from normal Ubuntu's Utopic repo. If you're getting the latests version, you won't be able to receive updates.

[01:55] freeroute, no, maybe upgrade to 14.04 > 14.10 would be wise, instead of that ppa. === Xiti` is now known as Xiti [01:58] hello, i get error like usb enumerate │Aero-kun │ [01:58] │on port 7 on cli mode, how to solve it? i have try some ▒ │a-evol │ [01:59] #sorry [01:59] i mean i get error like usb enumerate on port 7, anyone can help me to fix it?

[02:04] thanks! [02:04] unity only [02:04] yw [02:07] hi everybody..Just curious whether I can post my question and seek correction? [02:08] Madhusudhan, that is how it works here, just state it. [02:11] babbsuares: Thanks for reconfirming. I have a script http://pastebin.com/75b1gaR8 which exactly replicates the logrotate function in linux based OS. [02:12] what I am trying to get is, I want to check add a line for checkign the default date=7 and if it is beyond 7 days then it needs to be deleted [02:13] how can I do it in ? [02:15] Madhusudhan, probably try in #bash [02:15] yeah, exactly this is what I am trying to: http://pastebin.com/75b1gaR8 [02:15] Is there anything that I need to include? [02:16] Madhusudhan, Sorry, I ment ask in the #bash channel :) [02:16] #bash would probably have been more relevant here [02:16] ah snap [02:16] :) [02:18] I am looking for three things: 1. I should check the log file present in the directory, 2. if it is present then keep it till 7 days 3. once it is passed, it has to be compressed and create a new file with same name [02:18] hello! [02:18] I am trying figure out, but no luck :( [02:19] Madhusudhan: we said ask in another channel. [02:19] oh, can you let me know the channel name? [02:20] thanks for forwarding to the right people [02:20] Madhusudhan: two of us said it twice. read up. [02:20] had we did this [02:20] is it possible to use swap on vram using zram-config? [02:20] i think you want logrotate, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-manage-log-files-with-logrotate-on-ubuntu-12-10 [02:21] i dont know if things would be better [02:21] but it is a good question to pose about GNU [02:21] and the connection that it has on linux [02:21] ubuntu specifically [02:22] one of my favorite aspects of the operating system is the package manager that it had equipped. [02:23] Kruppe_, please no monologs, do you have a support question? [02:23] i really like ubuntu! [02:27] !zram | alteregoa [02:27] alteregoa: zRAM is a module of the Linux kernel which increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM, useful on systems with less RAM, and SSDs.

I switched using drivers to open and did Xorg -configure and started using that conf file but now my GUI won't boot up [02:49] hi [02:50] So you know when you ssh into a box for the first time, it gives you an ECDSA fingerprint and asks if you want to continue to connect? [02:50] How do I verify that ECDSA fingerprint? [02:51] I've searched all over the internet for linux drivers and found none. I would like to know if I can connect this device to Linux: http://www.lindy-international.com/ExpressCard-FireWire-1394a-Karte-2-Port.htm?websale8=ld0101.ld020102&pi=51500 can anyone help me out? Thank you [02:53] ubunaxe: found this: ssh-keyscan -t ecdsa localhost 2>&1 | grep ecdsa [02:54] SchrodingersScat: so do I replace "localhost" with the box I want to ssh into? [02:55] SchrodingersScat: actually, I just tried that, and it doesn't look like the fingerprint? [02:56] ubunaxe: I ran it on the machine I was trying to confirm. [02:56] SchrodingersScat: I mean when I see sometjhing like: The authenticity of host 'x (xxx.xxx.120.182)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is b6:ff:05:ex:25:4b:ad:ed:dd:3c:ea:81:89:97:c7:16. [02:56] I want to know how I know that b6:ff:05:ex:25:4b:ad:ed:dd:3c:ea:81:89:97:c7:16 is legit I guess? [02:57] why would you doubt a machine you just set up? [02:57] daftykins: A machine I'm connected to for the first time. How do I know I'm not being MITM'd? [02:57] lol. [02:57] *connecting [02:57] you are amusing [02:57] is there a way to sort apps in unity by categories? [02:58] daftykins: what do you normally do? just trust? [03:00] D3V in the apps scope you can see an option that says filter results in the top right [03:00] doesn't sound unreasonable to me, idk how to get those digits though. [03:00] super+a [03:00] ubunaxe: no, i just don't rock around with a paranoid mind [03:01] daftykins: ok, so for the sake of argument, if you did have a paranoid mind, how would you verify? [03:01] daftykins: do you know? [03:06] if he is that concerned locate the fingerprint key and make a note of it [03:06] this user seems incapable of google so is asking how to do that, i believe... DIL [03:07] DIL: I guess that's what I'm asking. Where does the fingreprint key come from? [03:07] DIL: these digits the server sends back to me I mean? [03:07] daftykins: It's ok if you don't know either :) [03:10] ubunaxe: childish reverse psychology won't work here :) [03:11] how about searching ssh directory for a file with the word key [03:12] DIL: so I've got a pretty typical ssh directory, which includes the private key of the box I'd like to log in to [03:13] DIL: when you log in with that pem for the first time, you get the fingerprint and a prompt of whether you'd like to add it to known_hosts [03:13] it seems pretty common to blindly say "yes" without looking [03:13] tbh I've never really thought twice [03:14] but under what scenario would I say "no" to that prommpt? [03:14] is it not obvious? [03:14] i'd imagine if the fingerprint was wrong. but I'm trying to figure out how to that make determination? [03:14] ubunaxe:the box you are connecting to - do you have physical acces [03:14] s [03:14] DIL: not necessarily [03:15] could be on ec2 for example [03:15] unable to update to ubuntu 14.04 from ubuntu 13.10, I am getting this message https://pastebin.mozilla.org/7816689 , can you please help me? [03:16] bharath, That is a eol upgrade, any ppa or other 3rd party packages? [03:17] ubunaxe: so if you were trying to ssh to my box and you wanted to know if was indeed my box i guess i would have to provide it to you [03:20] bubbasaures, I disabled all ppas [03:20] bharath, Disabling does not remove packages which may be the cause, a purge of the ppa will. [03:21] !ppa-purge [03:21] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [03:21] DIL: Ok. So in that scenario, how do you know what to provide? [03:24] bubbasaures, sorry for asking too many doubts, how to find out all ppa's? [03:25] bharath, The links generally are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d check your sources.list in the apt folder to. [03:25] bharath, The software & updates gui 2nd tab will have a list as well [03:26] thats easier to understand I think [03:26] bubbasaures, but I removed all the entries in sources.list before and tried do-release-upgrade [03:26] bubbasaures, but got the same error [03:27] bharath, Removing does not remove the modified packages and reinstall the ubuntu repos packages. [03:27] you have to purge a ppa to do this [03:28] bubbasaures: bharath :: I do not know, but has the 13.10 repository been turn away >> now, requiring " old-releases.ubuntu.com " ?? [03:28] bharath, We are having to assume here this is an issue, and are really bogged down just in you getting it, so you understand. [03:30] Bashing-om, I wondered if it is a true eol list upgrade, however we are kinda going at a snails pace, trying to just keep corralled, help is a good thing however. ;) [03:30] it's funny how ubuntu removed owncloud from the repo's. can't they just patch the security leak and reupload it? [03:30] EuaD, Ask them off topic here. [03:35] bubbasaures: : ) . As you say revert all PPAs, that do include proprietary graphics driver, turn of any screen saver, and perhaps change the source list to " old-releases.ubuntu.com " , make sure " /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' is set properly. Then go for it.

[06:42] hi. question. with a new computer, or when installing an os fresh, what is the best first step to take? should i secure my bootloader, or flash my bios? [06:43] hellofoobarworld, updated bios typically solves many problems ... [06:44] cfhowlett: so then the very first thing to do is flash my bios? ok, and then should the bootloader be secured? [06:45] hellofoobarworld, depends on your level of paranoia. by way of example, my library sets the boot bios (windows7) to zero display but did NOT lock it. I insert ubuntu USB, boot, hit the bios switch after POST, select USB boot device, and I haz ubuntu. [06:46] hellofoobarworld, see how secure that is? [06:47] cfhowlett: lol, i don't know, you would know better than me. i'm trying to learn heavy duty computer security, coming from not knowing much, and a windows and basic linux background. [06:47] hellofoobarworld, ah. long story short, unsecured bootloader = unsecured machine. [06:49] cfhowlett: i'm aiming for an ultra-paranoid style of system security education, since i enjoy helping people with their computer problems at my college. i only clean up computers (malware-removal and protection), but i'd like to do more for them. [06:49] cfhowlett: ok, so after i've flashed the bios and secure the bootloader, the next thing do is a fresh install of their system (or preferrably, give them the linux kernel, if they'll take it) [06:49] ? [06:50] hellofoobarworld, different scenario; Beijing Xidan District. Official Apple Store. Does that nice, shiny Mac run linux? let's test ... hmm. "kiosk mode" = reboot back to OSX, no privileges. ... BUT, if you know the trick to force it, you can boot to ... bootloader! selected "windows" insert USB (cuz osx is stupid that way), boot Ubuntu and keep a straight face when the Apple "Genius" comes to look over your shoulder ... :) [06:52] cfhowlett: lol, i don't think that was an answer to my question, but rather just a funny scenario you were thinking of, yes? or am i wrong - were you answering my question by saying that? [06:52] hellofoobarworld, you could do "OEM" install, meaning you set up all the updates. when NewUser boots, s/he will be asked to select an account name and password. then they boot to their nice, updated *buntu. [06:53] hellofoobarworld, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview [06:55] cfhowlett: ah yes, i've done that on my own hard drives several times. i actually thought that was the only way to do it. lol. === Neotecha_ is now known as Neotecha [06:56] how to share network files from ubuntu to windows 7 [06:56] hellofoobarworld, I think OEM install is preferable to sitting with NewUser and handholding for first boot.

[08:03] lasserix_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html [08:10] lasserix_: if it's an auto-sensing switch (which most are) you'll just need to configure static IPs for the clients and plug em all in [08:11] that so far has not work [08:11] ed [08:11] There is bounty for systemd? [08:11] lasserix_: you have the same subnet for all of em and same subnet mask?

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [08:28] juned, you have been told several times today. READ THE MANUAL for a good start. [08:29] thanks i will follow you [08:30] i have different version of Ubuntu back box [08:30] juned, back box is not ubuntu. back box is not supported here. go to back box for help. === ragnarock is now known as Guest41565 [08:34] but it is back box is mack from Ubuntu [08:35] juned: they make changes that are not supported here [08:35] juned, it is NOT UBUNTU. it is NOT SUPPORTED here. if you want ubuntu, install ubuntu. [08:35] juned: what do you want to learn? [08:35] !flavors | juned [08:35] juned: !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.

[08:38] lasserix_: getting lights on both ends of the ethernet for good physical connection? [08:39] lasserix_: I ask because cables or ports can sometimes stop working and with such a simple setup there isn't a ton else that can fail [08:39] Is there any ppa for telegram-desktop? [08:40] frenda: i think google would be better than here to find one [08:40] lasserix_: the switch basically just broadcasts messages to all ports if it doesn't know where an IP is and once it gets a response on one of the ports it remembers that the connection on that port is whatever the computer sent as it's source IP with the outgoing message, so it dynamically builds a table over time of what ports correspond to what IPs [08:40] !manual [08:40] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

I is really hard to explain but I will try. i have built in screen on laptop and external lg screen. the problem do not seem to be excactly the same every time.. but in one of the cases it seems the desktops are mixed up. when using "find screen" it looking at the name of the sreen in upper left cornot it show BOTH screens on both [09:38] Sometimes I see two top menu bar's and it looks like the smaller resolution screen is on top of the bigger screen. [09:38] I can't find anything on google maybe because I don't know what to search for. [09:40] ciao [09:40] !ciao [09:40] xdtc [09:47] Hello guys. I just bought a new graphic card, a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970, and for some reason the second monitor is not working, even though it does work on Windows. Can someone give me a hand to making it work? This is the card: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5209#ov [09:48] dbugger, with nvidia-settings ? [09:49] bazhang, Let me install the package.. [09:50] bazhang, I installed it. There does not seem to be many options at all [09:50] bazhang, definitely nothing about a second monitor [09:50] well you need to be using the nvidia drivers to use that === zz_XeBlackWater is now known as XeBlackWater [09:50] Ben64, How can I know if I am using them or not? [09:51] well if you had to install nvidia-settings.... you probably aren't [09:52] dbugger: go to the additional drivers panel [09:52] dbugger: just search for it in the dash [09:52] wafflej0ck_, I already did. Nothing comes up. It say that no additional drivers were found. [09:55] dbugger: hmm well that's suspect... you can install them using apt-get do sudo apt-get install nvidia (don't hit enter, hit tab twice) you'll see different versions of the driver available from the repository, the alternative is installing from the binary from Nvidia but then rollback isn't as easy since you can't just purge a package [09:55] anyone knows if western digital black2 ssd+hd disk works in ubuntu? (since most of the data would point to it not working) [09:55] dbugger: I have a 670 and it shows up in the additional drivers panel though so not sure what's up there [09:56] wafflej0ck_, wafflej0ck_ so I should install "nvidia-331"? That is the latest I see. [09:57] dbugger: probably need to get a newer one for the 970 [09:57] yea you can give it a shot, if you end up losing X check out nomodeset you can just set this in grub by hitting e and putting nomodeset in place of quiet [09:57] !nomodeset | dbugger [09:57] dbugger: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [09:58] i will give it a try. If not, I will try the one from the website [09:58] Do I need to restart after installing it? [09:58] dbugger: don't try the one from the website [09:59] dbugger: that's probably easiest otherwise usually just killing x and starting it back up works out [09:59] guys, which file should i edit to change GRUB default boot delay? [09:59] Ben64, why not? [09:59] dbugger: its bad. you should use this PPA ... https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [09:59] also, i want windows to be selected by default [10:00] QueensMelons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:02] Ben64, Thanks! [10:04] Ben64, What package from that repo should I use? [10:05] dbugger: at least 343 [10:06] Ben64, done, im gonna restart [10:06] QueensMelons: if you'd rather try a GUI route this app seems to work alright though I'm not sure about the integrity of the package since I just decided to check it out https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/ubuntu/grub-customizer [10:06] cheers wafflej0ck_, i changed it using nano [10:07] i was looking for it in the wrong config :D [10:08] QueensMelons: yeah easy to get lost in the seas of config :P [10:11] anyone with webpage knowledge ? [10:11] HI All, quick question, how does one use pre-scripts on PXE preseeds for ubuntu ? [10:12] I'm trying to config a HP raid card before the OS is installed [10:12] Hey guys I would like to format my notebook and remove the windows partition of ssd.How do I fully backup my ubuntu drive on an external hdd? [10:12] QueensMelons: yup that GUI app is actually pretty nice works well too [10:13] would this be a good resource? [10:13] PCatinean: I typically use Clonezilla, gives you a bootable CD for running DD over a network to a shared location [10:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [10:13] daniel_123: PXE has no scripts. Are you using kickstart or seed files? [10:14] redhad / centos im using KS but deb and ubuntu see files [10:14] looking for the deb version of this https://github.com/russki/hpraid-chroot [10:14] wafflej0ck, okay thanks [10:15] PCatinean: Clonezilla gives you a simple interface to backup the entire disk and restore the entire disk or to backup indvidual partitions and restore them, figuring out the network part is the only thing that can be a little tricky but it helps out and if you get an error just Google what settings you need for your NAS or whatever, if it's all in one machine should be easy [10:16] daniel_123: preseed/early_command [10:16] ah yes , I knew about the late command [10:17] didn't know about early command === Hub is now known as Guest93429 [10:17] that will hopefully do the trick as the raid needs to be done before the OS for obvious reasons [10:18] wafflej0ck, most likely I will make a new system and get what I need from git, and sometimes I might have forgotte something from the old backup and restore 1-2 files [10:18] that's pretty much it since I'm installing 14.04 and dumping 13.10 [10:18] PCatinean: ah hmm [10:18] PCatinean: might be better off doing the tar backup or something then cause partial recovery from the files from clonezilla isn't so easy [10:19] PCatinean: rsync might work out for ya too [10:19] we can start personal chat [10:19] ? [10:19] PCatinean: on Ubuntu Gnome I've been using Duplicity cause they have a GUI built into the desktop for it and it's good for daily backups to a NAS [10:19] juned: go to #ubuntu-offtopic === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [10:20] why your writing in red green black [10:20] ? [10:20] duplicity ok [10:21] PCatinean: yeah well I just use duplicity cause of the GUI supplied with it in this distro/Desktop Environment [10:21] PCatinean: rsync is simpler for just copying things incrementally and can recover if it gets stopped half way through or whatever [10:21] Actually I do have a automatic backup being made by duplicity on each boot from my ssd to my hdd in the caddy [10:22] juned: it's just how IRC clients display if someone has typed your name in the line to get your attention [10:22] PCatinean: typically I use Clonezilla before major upgrades though and then once after I have everything stable on a new version [10:23] PCatinean: just in case I need to rollback for some reason or forgot something really important and then can go back to the new system after I've backed that up too === Alberto is now known as Guest85676 [10:23] wafflej0ck, rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder [10:23] would that do? [10:23] with my external hdd connected [10:23] and onto it [10:23] PCatinean: yup looks reasonable, don't know all those flags by heart but should work [10:23] alright [10:23] * PCatinean goes in [10:24] should also use sudo [10:24] I guess [10:25] yeah, I'd suggest just backing up the things you think you probably need like /etc/ and your home folder (all your . folders and files) with rsync then do a clonezilla snapshot of the whole drive and go with the upgrade [10:27] you can stitch back together the tar file of the drive that clonezilla makes if you have enough space but can take some time/effort to work that out [10:27] By upgrade you mean actual upgrade from the system or format and install new system? [10:28] PCatinean: usually I like to clean install but upgrades have gotten better (still not perfect usually) [10:30] from 12.04 I went up to 14.04 and it was okay but I tried a few different desktop environments so ended up clean installing after deciding to go with Gnome for now... only regret is I don't have the latest Gnome :) [10:31] Hey [10:31] always be prepared to wipe it out at least though, that's why I dig the clonezilla backups, makes me feel good to know I can always just load it back up and at most will take like an hour [10:31] My wifi disconnects every 10 minutes or so, and then I have to reboot?

[12:27] sounds terrible [12:27] yes, it does [12:27] howinstallfhishi, 1. this isn't kali. cant' support you with it [12:27] I'm just reading the google hits [12:28] !kali | howinstallfhishi [12:28] howinstallfhishi: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [12:29] the more I read, the more foul this thing looks [12:30] there is no one in the other channels its Devian like ubuntu [12:30] yes there are many people in the kali support channels [12:30] :'( [12:30] howinstallfhishi, this is NOT "devian" NOT kali. go there. and phishing frenzy is NOT ubuntu so ... not supported here [12:31] wow! sorry cfhowlett ikonia...

[12:34] The disk spins but doesn't get listed in a fdisk -l [12:35] cog: unplug the usb, reboot your machine plug it in and see if it gets detected [12:35] did that plenty already, no luck [12:36] cog: so either the ubs connection is broken, or the disk is dead [12:36] fdisk only show actual partitions, right? So how do I see if the disk itself is being detected regardless of whether it can read the partition table? [12:36] wafflej0ck: The new kernel still disconnects. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [12:36] cog: fdisk will show the disk [12:37] cog: reboot the machine without the disk in, plug the disk in after the boot, and look in /var/log/messages [12:38] the computer was started without the disk in and the disk plugged in after (this is not the normal computer the HDD is plugged to) [12:39] but I don't have a /var/log/messages [12:39] cog: what operating system is this ? [12:39] Ubuntu 14.04 [12:39] there should be a messages file then [12:39] is it hidden? [12:39] no [12:40] lightdm, mail.err, mail.log, news [12:41] no messages [12:41] lord4163: ah bummer, had to reboot there decided to use a PPA for getting the latest gnome [12:41] cog: ls -la /var/log please put the output into a pastebin [12:41] lord4163: er a newer version at least === Shane is now known as Guest24961 === spid3r is now known as oasjaosjos [12:43] http://pastebin.com/7nW4igVX [12:43] seems odd === Guest24961 is now known as Yangsh [12:44] Hey guys [12:44] told you it didn't exist :) [12:44] cog: sorry, /var/log/syslog [12:44] changed in ubuntu 12.04 [12:44] grumble [12:44] lol [12:45] I have deleted all my data from my ssd (well at the step where i need to confirm) and I want to i stall ununtu 14.10 over, do I have to do anything special like creating partitions or will.the installer take care of everything? [12:46] right, what am I looking for on the logs_ [12:46] ? [12:46] Wiz_KeeD-Android: exactly the same as all your other installs === 6A4AAOZ27 is now known as bennypr0fane [12:46] cog: the addition of a usb device that is a disk [12:46] Install now on the empty partition?

[12:49] up to you [12:49] Not sure if it wil undo all the operations in gparted [12:49] it will undo anything you've not commited [12:49] tried to locate a commit button don't see it [12:50] think i'm blind or smth [12:50] there isn't a commit button [12:50] just quit, back, and install now [12:50] http://pastebin.com/a3gjGrt3 [12:50] it just repeats the error after [12:50] the chanel of ubuntu touch doesnt work === CLINT5000 is now known as zebra6000 [12:50] no resonse [12:50] no response [12:51] cog: if you do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" what do you see [12:51] i still with the same doubte [12:51] checking [12:51] IdleOne, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices [12:52] i dont know if ubuntu has acceleration for HW in sansumg galaxy s3 lite === Granis` is now known as Granis [12:53] idler you have the link. we're not going to read it for you. information is on the page. [12:53] returned nothing [12:54] ikonia, if i click back it reverts the changes, if i click install now will it start installing without the partitions like swap space etc? [12:54] Wiz_KeeD-Android: it won't install if you haven't defined partitions [12:54] cog: looks like it's dead then [12:55] all is in english and im very idler and im tired for read pages in english now [12:55] hmm [12:55] cog: as you can see it sends signals down the usb channel, but it's not actually getting to a state where it's advertising itself as a disk [12:55] you are right [12:55] got this on the syslog: sdb: unable to read partition table [12:55] cog: yeah, it can't even see it as a disk [12:55] hence why it can't read the partition table [12:55] i'll just go to gparted in try ubu tu without installig, delete and then run installer [12:56] thanks ikonia! [12:56] and then ... INFO: Quitting due to inactivity [12:56] so it sounds like it is a gonner? [12:56] cog: broken disk === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [13:07] Hi guys! Is there any way to have efi stub play nice with secure boot? Or do I need GRUB= [13:08] !efi | esseks [13:08] esseks: 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 === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [13:14] thanks cfhowlett, I already have ubuntu up and running with uefi. I only need to know if I need GRUB to be able to turn secure boot on. [13:15] Hi guys, is it possible to create a shortcut on the desktop to a command line in the terminal? It should contain the commands that I use in the terminal so I dont have to type them on my own again [13:15] s/turn/boot with/ === tcpman is now known as Guest69277 [13:23] paul_: you can create a runnable script and add it to your PATH in your environment typically that's the easiest way you can also make shortcuts to run the script if you'd like [13:24] paul_: personally I have a ~/scripts folder I made and added to my PATH so I just pop open a guake terminal and run the command [13:24] esseks: i think it's possible [13:24] wafflej0ck, to get more specific: My command is "mupen64plus N64/Kirby64.z64" - How do i get a shortcut out of this? [13:24] you have to sign the .efi file with sbsign http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/secureboot.html [13:25] paul_ like an alias? [13:25] paul_: just write into a text file and save it like runKirby.sh go to the file properties and mark it as executable [13:25] paul_: what do you mean by shortcut? [13:25] like a launcher icon? [13:26] EriC^^, yes [13:26] paul_: see http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/516634-shell-script-desktop-shortcut for making the executable shell script runnable by double clicking instead of opening it [13:26] EriC^^, so the -signed kernel is useless in my use case? [13:26] EriC^^, Like a shortcut on the desktop [13:26] paul_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/299052/how-to-execute-sh-script-from-a-desktop-shortcut [13:26] paul_: go to /usr/share/applications and make a .desktop file using a file that's there, modify the Exec part to your command and then add it as usual to the launcher [13:26] Thanks guys, you helped me out once again! I owe you big time [13:27] paul_: ah yeah what EriC^^said is true too can just make a .desktop file with the Exec set with your command, that is probably a cleaner way to go [13:30] Wait a second! Its loading the script, but nothing happens [13:30] Anyone there? [13:31] I need help [13:31] Hey guys I am unsure on which driver to pick on install, any directions on what route should I take? [13:31] I also have nvidia with a secondary intel proccesor and I installed bumblebee even though there is a bumblebee-nvidia package as well [13:31] paul_: what does the script do? [13:32] "mupen64plus N64/Kirby64.z64" [13:32] is there something that would generate a client-side (javascript?) search engine from a set of static html (or markdown) pages? (The results must work offline as well) [13:32] yeah, does it open a gui n64 emulator? [13:32] paul_: you need to add the full path btw [13:33] paul_: /home//..N64/Kirby64.z64 [13:33] esseks: no idea, never tried it, i think you need to make a .efi file like grub's shimx64.efi or something [13:34] I assume you mean it should be "mupen64plus /home/paul/N64/Kirby64.z64". But nothing happened [13:34] paul_: when you type that in a terminal what happens? [13:35] For some reason the 'system settings' button on the toolbar isn't doing anything ;_; [13:35] any1? [13:35] T0ast_phone: unity-control-center [13:35] I use xfce [13:36] Oh wait it's working [13:36] Thanks :2 [13:36] EriC^^, its starting and I marked "launch as executable" but it still opens with gedit. Terminal played the game [13:37] paul_: did you add a .desktop file [13:38] Ugh, now the system settings window keeps crashing every time I open it [13:39] I'm trying to get to text entry settings [13:39] EriC^^, saved the command line as a .desktop file and it says an error occured [13:40] paul_: you have to use a template from /usr/share/applications , and save it there too [13:40] How do I get directly to the text entry settings? [13:41] paul_: type gksu nautilus /usr/share/applications [13:42] paul_: select a .desktop file and copy it, rename and modify the copy [13:42] EriC^^, I'm there. what to do? [13:42] EriC^^, there is no .desktop file, but Ive seen the commands on the wiki before [13:43] I'm trying to set up nagios graph following this link: https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Nagios_Core_4_Installation_on_Ubuntu_12.04.html but it says The requested URL /nagiosgraph/cgi-bin/show.cgi was not found on this server.. I can access nagios though [13:43] Anybody to compile Neverball into *.deb ? [13:43] mikhael_k33hl: That file does not exist - check your installation then :) [13:44] bekks: I did [13:44] Is there a way to pipe some file (in my case, /dev/urandom) directly into a socket? [13:44] Boreeas: What are you actually trying to do? [13:44] mikhael_k33hl: Then why does it not exist? Did you create it? [13:45] can anyone help me with a linker problem? [13:45] bekks: I have a program that allegedly accepts input it's not supposed to accept to the point of segfaulting, and I want to test that === uber_ is now known as uber [13:45] I try to link my program against libpcap but ld cannot seems to find it [13:45] bekks: I installed it then I have a .conf file with an Alias to it [13:46] paul_: what do you mean by there's no .desktop file? [13:46] mikhael_k33hl: But that UL does not exist. So did you check wether that file is supposed to exist due to your configuration? [13:46] paul_: ls /usr/share/applications show's nothing? [13:46] EriC^^, there is no .desktop file in /usr/share/applications [13:47] er4z0r_: Did you install libpcap-dev ? [13:47] bekks: sorry I kinda new to this, what's UL? [13:47] paul_: type cat /etc/issue plese [13:47] mikhael_k33hl: URL :) [13:47] *please [13:47] bekks: yes. it is not the compiler complaining about missing headers [13:47] bekks: yeah it is [13:47] bekks: it is the linker [13:47] so basically it does not seems to find the correct *.so [13:47] er4z0r_: Then what is the exact, unchanged, full error message? Can you pastebin it please? [13:47] EriC^^, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l [13:47] sure [13:48] paul_: select any application's .desktop file and copy it, not .desktop [13:48] paul_: when you use nautilus to view the directory, you should see a bunch of applications [13:49] EriC^^, I do. What now? [13:49] those are the .desktop files [13:49] bekks: umm how do you switch the locale in the console quickly? [13:49] changing LC_ALL? [13:49] er4z0r_: loadkeys en for example. [13:49] bekks: no i mean output [13:49] paul_: copy one of them, then rename and modify the copy [13:49] bekks: You know, I"m also wondering how I am able to access nagios when my virtual host's root directory is /var/www/nagios << there is no files there [13:49] I doubt you want the error message in german ;-) [13:49] er4z0r_: LC_* have nothing to do with input. :) [13:49] paul_: edit the Exec= to your command [13:50] EriC^^, how am I able to edit the modify the copy? even if i change the file type by renaming, i cant edit [13:50] er4z0r_: You want to change the output. LANG=C ... should do the job [13:50] kk [13:51] Hi guys does someone have experience with external soundards on Ubuntu? [13:51] Glooomy: Do you have a specific question or is that just a poll? :) [13:51] paul_: right click the copy and press rename [13:51] Are they well supported or is it going to be a mess to work with? (I want to connect to HiFi equipment) [13:51] !list [13:51] giaico72: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:51] paul_: then type gksu gedit and drag the copy to the window [13:52] I have a hdd connected to my laptop at all times and ubuntu installed on ssd, how do I permanently mount the hdd so I can see it from ubuntu and install dropbox on it etc? === shroud is now known as Guest99454 [13:52] \list [13:53] bekks: http://pastebin.com/31FkujET [13:53] PCatinean_: what do you mean by permanently mount? [13:53] bekks: sorry, had no english locale installed so most of gcc output still german [13:53] PCatinean_: you can add it to the fstab and have it mounted at a certain mountpoint if you want [13:53] EriC^^, yes that would be it, an article about it? [13:54] EriC^^, Thanks a bunch! It worked! [13:54] PCatinean_: get it's uuid with blkid [13:54] paul_: great, no problem [13:54] hi [13:54] PCatinean_: then type nano /etc/fstab and add it there [13:55] UUID= errors=remount-ro 0 1 [13:56] or use whatever options you want [13:56] er4z0r_: Whats the output of gcc -lpcap sniffer.c -o sniffer ? [13:56] PCatinean_: you need sudo to edit it btw === riot is now known as riot___ [13:58] bekks: http://pastebin.com/Cs6PWAgR [13:58] bekks: the same [13:58] EriC^^, how does this look? UUID=51DDB6994E6674F0 /mnt/caddy ntfs errors=remount-ro 0 1 [13:58] no clue how to tell ld to be more verbose :-/ [13:59] PCatinean_: it's ok, give it a shot, caddy has to be created first though [13:59] EriC^^, wanted to ask that [13:59] so sudo mkdir /mnt/caddy [13:59] with root permissions right? [13:59] ah ok [13:59] then type sudo mount /mnt/caddy and it should grab it from the fstab [13:59] and reboot I assume [13:59] nope not necessary [14:00] ahh so that's how it works [14:00] by looking at the path then querying the fstab doc [14:02] bekks: I found it curious that the libpcap package actually provides _two_ .so files [14:02] PCatinean_: yeah, about the options though [14:02] PCatinean_: you need to add auto for it to automount [14:02] EriC^^, which one is that? :-s [14:03] PCatinean_: use ntfs defauts,errors=remount-ro [14:04] add defaults, youmean? [14:04] yup [14:06] Ahh and those are two options I take it separated by commas and no space [14:06] defaults,errors=val [14:06] yup [14:07] there's a list of options you can use check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options [14:07] PCatinean_: if you want to mount it with certain permissions you can, allowing the execution of binaries or not, and if anybody can mount or not [14:08] PCatinean_: the options are executed one after the other, like if you set something like all users can mount, that implies no execution is allowed, so if you add the exec option after it you can change that [14:12] Where can I download the default ubuntu loading screen? [14:13] AlexPortable, plymouth [14:13] hi [14:14] Is that a website? [14:14] AlexPortable, that's the boot up process [14:16] AlexPortable, filesystem > lib > plymouth [14:16] no i mean for download [14:17] AlexPortable: What are you actually trying to accomplish? [14:17] security question, maybe someone knows. for the most secure internet connection in a desktop environment (meaning everyday use, but not paranoid enough to run a live os all the time), would the following setup be suggested? :: install VM, install Tor, access internet? or am i right in thinking i have no clue what i'm talking about? === g405t is now known as Guest19620 [14:18] hellowfoobarworl: tor does not provide any security, but just obscurity. [14:18] Hey all [14:18] hellowfoobarworl: the most important question is: what are you trying to secure against? [14:18] hellofoobarworld, snowden used tails ... fwiw [14:18] bekks: getting the images [14:18] AlexPortable, open ubuntu software center, type plymouth in the seach bar and install. [14:18] Can I get some assistance with some broadcom drivers? [14:18] hi again cfhowlett [14:18] hellofoobarworld, hey there [14:19] !broadcom | Guest19620, [14:19] Guest19620,: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [14:19] Read it all [14:19] Guest19620, what chipset are you running? [14:20] Got the drivers and made and installed them however the hardware isn't seeming to want to start using them even though I used the additional drivers tool to activate them. [14:20] cfhowlett: you already know what my mission is. :-P bekks: yes, i'm aware it only obscures, and that's why i was wondering if running the obscurity (Tor) within the VM (security) would be a good setup? cfhowlett: is the VM what you were talking about earlier when you mentioned VirtualBox? [14:21] sudo lshw -C network still reports that the b43-pci-bridge drivers are in use on the hardware [14:21] hellowfoobarworl, it was [14:21] Guest19620, what - chipset - do - you - have - ? [14:22] bcm4321 dell [14:22] Guest19620: The BCM4321 is Broadcom chipset. [14:23] cfhowlett: do I have to run the additional drivers tool as root? [14:23] Guest19620, do you have an ubuntu .iso or USB? [14:23] *is a [14:23] cfhowlett: ok cool. i've been following your advice and researching it, as well as bootkits, tpms and more. just wanted to let you know, because no one likes to give advice that ultimately isn't followed :-P [14:23] I am currently using the 'try' portion of UBUNTU Gnome [14:23] hellowfoobarworl, nice. [14:24] I wanted to be sure that my wireless drivers would be acceptable before installing [14:24] Guest19620, ubuntu 14.04?? [14:24] bekks: do you think that the VM security with Tor obscurity is a good configuration? [14:24] cfhowlett: yes 14.04.1 === digifiv5e is now known as daynaskully [14:25] Guest19620, nice. give me a minute to set up. [14:25] hellowfoobarworl: I dont think tor is a good idea at all :) [14:25] cfhowlett: let me change my nick to g405t [14:25] Hi, in Ubuntu 14.04.1 server I'm trying to attach a machine to a WiFi router using the command line. It seems that 14.04 had some modifications rendering the online documentation somewhat outdated. Any advice on how to do this? === Guest19620 is now known as g405t [14:26] cfhowlett: there [14:27] hello can u give me soe tool for customizing themes? [14:27] g405t, I see you [14:28] good to know [14:28] bekks: why would it not be a good idea through a VM though? [14:28] I know I'm just overlooking something stupid [14:28] how do I reset the permissions on a file? I'm booting from the live CD so already in as sudo but can't open a particular file nor copy it [14:29] I tried 'sudo chmod 550 ' but that doesn't seem to have worked. I can see the permissions are different but still can't open the file [14:29] bekks: provided Tor is the only application beign run through the VM? === Blaster is now known as codemedian [14:30] I've a problem with my SSD I get ext4-fs error device(sdc6): ext4_find_entry:1302 during startup and drm_kms_helper panic messages how do I solve this? [14:30] hellofoobarworld: What do you hope to gain through the usage of tor? [14:30] hello again can anyone explain why this happens ? http://picpaste.com/pics/Sk__rmbillede_fra_2014-12-07_15_24_26-xVeNeySI.1417962384.png you can see it displays both monitor indicator on both screens, I can only use clone mode. I cant find anything on google i am not sure what to search for =/ [14:30] bekks: never mind, I had my argument order in gcc wrong [14:30] g405t, OK, good news is you can likely get wifi fired up. open your file manager and navigate to filesystem/cdrom/poo/ [14:30] paulus68: Bu running fsck -f from a live cd. === codemedian is now known as Blaster [14:31] bekks: BU? [14:31] paulus68: bu? [14:32] cfhowlett: in filesystem/cdrom/pool I have main and restricted folders [14:32] bekks: paulus68: Bu running fsck -f from a live cd.

[14:33] bekks: i volunteer my time to people at school, fixing their computer. i have been "securing" them as well (encrypting, anti-keyloggers, getting them password managers instead of browsers, etc), but i have recently learned that my efforts have been mostly vain, as there are ways to circumvent this security (with bootkits being one of them, as well as hardware modifications). i'm trying to learn everything i can so that i ca [14:33] g405t, long story short: sudo dkpg -i those 2 files in that sequence. that should enable your broadcom. might need to kickstart by going to "additional drivers" [14:33] anyone have had any experiance with dual monitor setup =/ i have hit a dead end ! [14:34] So, my system freezes with ubuntu 14.04, ubuntu mate 14.04 [14:34] bekks: and how would I address this drive? [14:34] how can I solve it? should i just ditch ubuntu? [14:34] hellofoobarworld: That doesnt answer my question at all. [14:34] AlexPortable, without knowing why it's failing ? don't seem right, but your choice. [14:34] hellofoobarworld: tor can be considered being snake oil, in terms of security. [14:35] cfhowlett: well what can I do more? [14:35] bekks: what am i trying to accomplish? give people a method, and instruct them on how to implement full security in every day use. that's my goal, at least. [14:35] AlexPortable, check error messages [14:35] Anybody on #ubuntu-touch? I'm not getting a response. [14:36] cfhowlett: you do know that I already downloaded the drivers from broadcom then make and make install them? [14:36] g405t, I do.. [14:36] I assume the dkms is my missing part? [14:36] g405t, if you didn't install previously ... [14:36] Yeah [14:36] ok. [14:36] bekks: so then for every day use on their desktop computers (i doubt they'd all run live usbs all the time), is simply using a VM the best option? [14:36] I think I got this [14:36] hellofoobarworld: Then why do you suggest using tor? That has nothing to do with security. It's the opposite even, using tor, makes them being suspects from the point of view of different agencies, companies, etc. === Jake[1] is now known as Jake [14:37] cfhowlett: give me a few and I think I'll be back via wireless connectivity [14:38] g405t, those 2 files in that sequence [14:38] how does one reverse this? sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" [14:38] in the graphical interface I'm missing it [14:39] I have a problem since I did last dist upgrade....chromium. When I watch a vidoe on youtube, the screen shuts off. The video is still playing, but i have no way to restore the screen [14:39] only since the last upgrade, a few days ago [14:39] bekks: that perspective has to change. possessing a gun doesn't make you a murder suspect. see, i'm also attempting to make even obscurity commonplace, one person at a time. if all of us here can get all of our friends to use it, and so on, wouldn't that be better? [14:39] bekks: get the error message that the superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem [14:40] bekks: exponential growth in usage? [14:40] paulus68: Then what was your exact command? [14:41] cfhowlett: how can i check error messages on live usb? [14:41] anyone =( ? [14:42] bekks: fsck -f /media/this/drivename(which contains dc97C4DR45RS- and so on) [14:42] paulus68: That is not supposed to work at all. [14:42] paulus68: you have to check the unmounted partition, not the mounted mountpoint. [14:43] PCatinean_: sudo add-apt-repository --remove "..." [14:43] g405t, ?? [14:43] bekks: and how do I do this [14:44] bastidrazor, I hope that's not going to remove the standard one as well? [14:44] can this be done with gparted [14:44] paulus68: sudo fsck -f /dev/sdc1 for example, assuming sdc1 is the partition on question. [14:44] PCatinean_: it removes what you put in the quotations [14:44] cfhowlett: errors were encountered while processing [14:45] g405t, errr. from the previous install, I bet? [14:45] cfhowlett: hold on, it looks like I may have typoed [14:45] cfhowlett: gimme a sec [14:45] What is MSI? [14:45] g405t, easiest method: sudo dpkg -i drag and drop the file from the folder [14:46] how to use ping with a text file containing several dns addresses? [14:46] bekks: how can I check what drivename is assigned because I don't get the correct drive names while being on a live cd [14:46] PCatinean_: you could manually edit out the line in your /etc/apt/sources.list === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [14:47] cfhowlett: yeah, typo... not i386 but rather amd64 [14:47] paulus68: sudo blkid will show them to you. [14:47] g405t, thus the drag n drop recommendation [14:47] cfhowlett: lmao [14:47] Hi guys, I'm quickly looking for something similar to "Seatools" From Seagate, so far I have found 3 candidates; "diskscan", "smartmontools" and "GSmartControl". Would anyone have any first hand experience with these tools and perhaps know which would be best at checking for physical defects or otherwise on a HDD? [14:47] cfhowlett: stupid is as stupid does [14:48] g405t, :) [14:48] tab complete!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:49] I'm trying to remap my command key into a alt key, I got it kind of working, except it's not possible to use keyboard shortcuts that are using alt [14:49] Hello, does anyone here know of SAPI 5 text to speech support for Ubuntu? That would be very very helpful. [14:49] cfhowlett: headed to additional drivers now... [14:49] llutz, thanks [14:50] Hi, in Ubuntu 14.04.1 server I'm trying to attach a machine to a WiFi router using the command line. It seems that 14.04 had some modifications rendering the online documentation somewhat outdated. Any advice on how to do this? [14:50] cfhowlett: additional drivers shows the proprietary drivers are already in use but that damn card isn't available in the network admin tool [14:50] bekks: getting :dev/sde6: 302183/6586368 files (0,2% non contiguous) 2495705/26314240 blocks) [14:51] g405t, damn. sorry. that was my best shot. [14:51] paulus68: ...when doing what? [14:51] bekks: the fsck -f [14:52] paulus68: Cann you please state the full command you are using? [14:52] *Can [14:52] cfhowlett: update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media, can I safely assume that this would have workd had this been an actual install?

[14:54] anyone had problems with youtube shutting off the screen since last update?

[14:58] paulus68: yes, you can open a webbrowser on a live cd :) [14:58] bibi234: Compare the checksum? [15:00] 12.04 LTS only has security updates? [15:00] bekks: pastebin.com/eG6TE6ca [15:00] 12.04 receives updates for 5 years. [15:00] bekks: like this for example? so I run "md5sum /path/to/file" on my local and compare to the same command result of the remote server? [15:00] http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/198/md5-checksum-how-to/ [15:01] paulus68: So everything is fine on that filesystem. [15:01] bibi234: Correct. [15:02] bekks: ok thank you [15:03] bekks: ok so every disk that I have has a simular result [15:04] paulus68: So try again now, since now your filesystems are clean. [15:05] Hello. I have a Ralink MEDIATEK Corp. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter on my ASUS X550CV. I'd like to make it work on my Debian 7.7 Wheezy system, kernel 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae. The MEDIATEK driver is for 3.14 kernel and is really, really unstable. Please give me any good tip. Thank you. [15:05] Simplar: So ask the debian support on how to do it. [15:06] bekks: how does Ubuntu handle this wifi adapter? [15:09] bekks: that would work when I access the remote server with ssh for example, but what if I want to serve it through the http protocol for example? [15:09] bekks: ext4-fs error device sdd6 ext4_find_entry:1302: inode #1048577:comm plymouthd: reading directory lblock 0 [15:11] Hiyas all [15:11] hello there, have you installed firefox developer edition in ubuntu [15:12] hey guys, i can not use my keyboard shortcuts anyone know how to fix it? [15:12] they are not disabled, all are active [15:12] Ahad: which shortcuts for example?? [15:13] paulus68: And did you check that filesystem using fsck before? [15:13] rishianand: like ctrl+alt+t for terminal [15:13] bekks: I checked every disk on my system before rebooting [15:13] rishianan: custom made shortcuts too [15:13] Ahad: hmm. [15:13] paulus68: ah ok. [15:13] Tempest: [15:13] paulus68: Can you pastebin "dmesg" please? [15:14] bekks: will reboot into live cd [15:14] rishianan: any idea? [15:14] Ahad: i'll tell you if i find any solution. [15:14] paulus68: No. [15:14] rishianan: thanks [15:14] paulus68: We need to see the _current_ dmesg output. [15:15] bekks: then how would I achieve that since I can't even get into my system [15:15] bekks: I'm getting this error during startup and can't do anything else then reboot or boot into live cd [15:15] Hi everyone!, running 14.04, in the System Monitor I somehow turned the process view into a tree/parent mode, now I have to expand the process tree every time to see processes, how do I turn this off? [15:15] does anyone else know how to enable shortcuts on ubuntu? [15:15] paulus68: Thats was the missing information until now :) [15:16] bekks: you lost me? [15:16] paulus68: Well, you need to boot into live cd then, yes. [15:16] bekks: so boot into live cd [15:18] guys [15:18] bekks: ok I'm there [15:18] I have a ATI 7730 Mobility Radeon (dualed with an Intel HD 4000) [15:18] the driver's doesn't provide 3D acceleration though [15:18] what to do= [15:19] paulus68: Can you identify the partition thats throwing those errors when trying to boot from it? [15:20] bekks: during startup it had sdd6 dunno what it's name is now [15:21] bekks: it's the same [15:21] paulus68: Are you sure? :) [15:22] bekks: when I launch gparted I can see the drives and there is a drive called sdd which is also my bootable ssd drive [15:22] paulus68: Are you sure? Or do you just think that it is the same? [15:24] bekks: I for 99% sure since I have a solid state drive of 120 GIG which is configured to boot from it has a boot partition a root partition and a swap partition [15:24] paulus68: So whats the output of "sudo fsck -f /dev/sdd6" then? [15:26] bekks: same as mentioned in previous pastebin it [15:31] bekks: reinstall? I have my home on a seperate drive [15:32] paulus68: Better check your harddrives using smartctl [15:33] bekks: do you know the command for this? [15:35] how do you edit grubs resolution? === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [15:39] paulus68: smartctl is the command [15:40] I have a linux system that boots from USB flash drive. I would like to patch grub to display the Serial Number of the USB flash drive at boot time. is it possible? I need to ensure that displayed Serial Number belongs to the same drive we booted from (in case there are other flash-drives attached)? [15:42] bekks: pastebin.com/K0jaY4A0 [15:43] decci: Sure, it is possible, why not? You just have to patch grub after writing the source code for your patch. === ara is now known as Guest3405 [15:44] bekks: Any link which can help me with patching the GRUB and applying the patch [15:44] decci: Actually no. You have to read and understand the grub source code first. [15:44] bekks: okay [15:47] bekks: reinstall? [15:50] I'm booting into ubuntu from live USB and plugging in another USB stick, but it always mounts the other USB stick as read-only [15:50] does this have something to do with the live USB mode or am I missing something? [15:51] from the terminal I tried changing the rights to 777 and it says "changed from 700 to 777" but if I re-run the same command just a sec later it gives me exactly the same message: changing from 700 to 777, which means the rights don't stick [15:51] any ideas? [15:51] bekks: http://askubuntu.com/questions/357186/how-to-change-the-header-title-and-help-message-in-grub-menu [15:51] cog, what filesystem is on that 2nd usb ? [15:51] fat32 [15:52] cog oh then it is correct, fat32 isn't posix, so you cannot give any rights, mount that fat32 as rw is your solution [15:52] bekks: In the above guide, it shows how to change the GRUB title. But what about the Serial number displayed. Any idea? [15:53] OerHeks: how can I mount it as rw? [15:53] cog, is your first usb a live iso ? [15:53] decci: you have to patch the grub source code. [15:53] whenever I right click the drive in nautilus to create a new folder/file I get an error saying it's in read-only mode [15:54] bekks: any Ideas? [15:54] what you mean live ISO? [15:54] bekks: Do you mean I need to first build the patch which does that? [15:54] it is a non-persistent live instant [15:54] decci: Of course.

[16:03] bekks: agreed but still getting errors furthermore when this started I also had a drm_kms_helper panic message on the screen [16:04] bekks: thought rebooting should solve this but then got this ext4 error [16:07] hi [16:07] bekks: think the only way to resolve this is to reinstall or am I wrong?

If U14.10 freezes on my PC-64 due HDD errors and I will test it on USB flash and it not fail, can I upgrade? [16:28] jp_hranice: upgrade what ? [16:28] Ubuntu 14.04 [16:28] ikonia, Ubuntu 14.04 [16:28] you said you where on 14.10 [16:29] I got 2 HDD [16:29] 1) testing 2)for stable release [16:31] jp_hranice: you can upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 [16:35] rm -fvr $HOME/.xchat2/budus.so $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript/ [16:36] /UNLOAD budus.so [16:37] rm -fvr $HOME/.xchat2/budus.so $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript/ [16:38] ikonia: is it recommended to upgrade to 14.10 though? IIRC 14.04 is LTS release and has quite a bit more stability tests. [16:41] freeroute: it's up to you [16:42] ah right, got it. [16:47] how do I reset the xorg.conf? [16:48] !xorg | epyx [16:48] epyx: X.Org is an implementation of the X Windows System, and is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart it on an Ubuntu system, type 'sudo service lightdm restart'. To fix screen resolution or other X.Org problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution .

It had a fixed IP, so I changed eth0 back to dhcp in /eth/nerworm/interfaces. But whatever I do, ifconfig only shows lo, no eth0. lspci shows it's detected, lshw shows it's DISABLED. [16:59] The_Pugi1: What chipset? [17:00] themisterbig, maybe detail WHICH macbook pro, and which network card etc [17:02] pepijndevos: macbook pro 8.1 i think, i am not sure what network card i have, this is the first time i use ubuntu. [17:04] themisterbig I take it you tried everything on this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [17:05] they suggest installing the proprietary driver [17:05] sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [17:05] Hello, where is the session login startup script (ie script that runs when user logs in through GUI)? [17:05] pepijndevos: i tried installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Trust Tahr) for the macbook pro 8,1 but it won't reboot [17:06] pepijndevos: i will try the code you have sent me [17:06] well, no matter what, you need to install the broadcom driver somehow. [17:06] opcode0: ~/.config/autostart ? [17:06] pepijndevos: i get E: Unable to locate package firmware-b43-installer, but then again, i get this for every sudo apt-get [17:06] yes, use wired network [17:07] pepijndevos: yes i am connected now through ether net [17:07] ... [17:07] browsing works? apt-get update? [17:08] when i type sudp apt-get update i get E: Unable to locate package firmware-b43-installer [17:08] sorry without the firmware-b43-installer [17:10] pepijndevos: it just started updating, not sure what i did different, i just typed it until it worked :-/ strange, updating now [17:10] !pim [17:10] hi guys [17:10] !PIM [17:10] ok, do update and then upgrade and then try the broadcom driver again. [17:10] so just to let you know, you should remove the 7730 M fglrx support for the additional drivers [17:10] they don't work [17:11] epyx, you should create an issue. Not likely anyone relevant will notice and take action if you just tell it here. [17:11] lots of documentation to suggest the 7730 do work [17:12] thanks pepijndevos [17:12] and yea, eliminate PEBKAC [17:12] themisterbig, np [17:12] pepijndevos, how do I do that? [17:13] ikonia, not possible [17:13] epyx: why is that not possible ? [17:13] after two distributions and several fresh installs I have never gotten them working [17:13] they do install, sometimes [17:13] but what happens is 3D acceleration isn't better than without them [17:13] epyx: so you - 1 person can't get them working does not mean "others can't get them working" [17:14] epyx: as I said, info to suggest others are working fine [17:14] it's hard to tell if you don't play games [17:14] I thought they were working too [17:14] I don't think it is [17:14] because fglrxinfo and lspci gave right information [17:14] unity desktop requires 3d acceleration [17:14] lspci is nothing to do with the drivers [17:15] ikonia, well, it's a dual card so the Intel HD 4000 works just fine without installing the properitary drivers [17:15] epyx, if it does not crash and it's installed, it's working fine. If it's not faster than the OSS drivers, that's great. [17:15] epyx: so ? [17:15] pepijndevos, 30 fps in CS:GO and 20 fps in Civilization V tells another story [17:15] if it works fine then Linux is really inefficient compared to Windows [17:15] if that's working fine [17:15] epyx: you're basing your individual experience and confirming it as fact for everyone else [17:16] the main problem with these drivers are that they are shown as installed fine [17:16] epyx: you don't know that [17:16] I mean great if it gives an error message but it doesn't [17:16] epyx, yea, linux ports of games are not so great at times. [17:16] epyx: you judged they where installed ok by "lspci" [17:16] epyx: that means nothing [17:17] and fglrxinfo [17:17] and amdcccle [17:17] epyx: if fglrxinfo shows the acceleration, then they are working [17:17] what is your definition of working seriously? [17:17] epyx: hardware 3d acceleration [17:17] if something is supposed to provide 3d acceleration but doesn't it clearly isn't working as it's intended to [17:18] epyx: how are you confirming it's not running 3d acceleration [17:18] as bad FPS as without them? [17:18] epyx: thats not confirming no acceleration [17:18] thats just poor performance [17:18] epyx, if I read you correctly, you judge "not working" as slower than windows. [17:18] okay [17:18] back in 2009 I had another ATI Radeon card which worked great [17:18] a lot has changed [17:19] * epyx sighs [17:19] so as long as you get a string telling you that it works it's fine? [17:19] you don't really need to see improved performance [17:19] hey as long as this string says everythings fine! [17:19] epyx: sadly thats the reality [17:19] some cards work better/worse than others [17:20] there are settings you can use to try to improve things, but that requires good knowledge of the drivers and options [17:20] so basically as a developer I don't need to do anything but cout << "everything's fucking awesome"; [17:20] epyx: no need to swear, please don't [17:20] sorry :x [17:22] epyx, that is sadly true. It was recently discovered there was a switch in the intel driver that made it 20% faster... they just disabled it because it had some issues, instead of fixing the issues. [17:22] There are lots of different implementations of Radeon hardware. Even the same chipset might not perform the same depending on how it was implemented. [17:23] oh well [17:24] hi all [17:24] epyx: Some hardware is optimized for Windows and just isn't going to perform in Linux. [17:24] guess I'll have to live with poor performance till I scrap this computer :< [17:24] epyx: You can find reviews and benchmarks that show what hardware does well in Linux. [17:24] advice noted, thanks [17:24] epyx: Toms Hardware and Ars Technica tend to be good sources. [17:25] epyx: Also, there are developers that are constantly working to improve the performance, because they have the same problem as you do. [17:29] jhutchins, some day I hope to gathered the skills to contribute instead of only complaining ;) [17:29] but in the meantime... :p [17:31] hi all! [17:31] got a question: is it possible to update my i915 video drivers? [17:31] How should I do that (intel drivers?)? [17:32] anybody here [17:32] ? [17:32] Ubuntu question [17:33] VoidMainFunction, sup ? [17:33] Caroga: can i ask, why do you think you need to update your intel drivers? [17:33] upgrading my processor, my roommate did the same changeout last month, told me afterwards, he lost his bootloader [17:33] when he reseated the processor [17:34] zykotick9, Cause I want to. I am trying to run Hearthstone through Wine and it doesnt run well. [17:34] that wont happen [17:34] So I wanted to ask more information about updating glx drivers [17:34] VoidMainFunction, so you are afraid of losing your bootloader? [17:35] Why would you lose ur bootloader after installing another cpu ? Sounds more like he upgraded/changed bios as well who lost the bootloaders point. [17:35] yeah, I run a newer board. uefi BS....I remember having a bitch of a time to get the grub bootloader to work on my orig install 2 years ago [17:35] and then he told me that and i got annoyed [17:36] VoidMainFunction, that wont be a problem, just remember which hd entry points you have and where your bootloader is installed. If, for some reason, he cannot find it anymore, you can always boot ur liveCD and scan vor it. [17:36] brb dinrar time! [17:37] Caroga: thanks === Errosion is now known as help [17:40] VoidMainFunction: Changing the processor shouldn't have any effect on the bootloader, which is on the disk. [17:41] VoidMainFunction: It could possibly trigger a change in the EFI, which could cause the system to see the disk differently. [17:41] VoidMainFunction: Then again, fixing the bootloader is one of the easiest fixes there is. Make sure you have a live CD or something to boot from and you're covered even if it does happen. [17:41] yeah im downloading a live cd now [17:42] i wasn't about to try and mess with it before I had someone with more Nix exp then myself === root is now known as Guest29775 [17:43] how to join ubuntu-zh [17:44] join /ubuntu-zh [17:44] Guest29775: Type "/join #ubuntu-zh" [17:44] join #ubuntu-zh [17:45] joined #ubuntu [17:45] Hi [17:45] joined #ubuntu-zh === Gremlin_ is now known as k2gremlin [17:46] I have Lenovo G50-70 with Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit. My Bluetooth doesn't work. [17:46] joined #ubuntu-zh [17:46] I am unable to turn it on. [17:46] 请问怎么进入中文UBUNTU [17:48] Someone help me! I lost all my files! I just installed Ubuntu on a different hard drive. When i boot up my computer it does straight to ubuntu. [17:48] I have windows 8.1 drive still [17:49] I can set PATH= env var at the top of CRON file. Can I set any env var I want? For example, I want to set PYTHONPATH and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. [17:51] TheBlackRussian, you can mount the windows partition in ubuntu [17:51] how can i do that? [17:53] TheBlackRussian, google mount windows partition in linux. depends if you have ntfs or fat32 partition [17:53] i have to google my support? [17:53] When hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL to lock the computer, is there a way to make it such that the "Lock Computer" is the default menu selection instead of "Log Off" from X? This would be Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [17:53] TheBlackRussian, type sudo fdisk -l [17:54] TheBlackRussian, and make sure you have Grub installed [17:54] how can i check if i have grub? and i typed fdisk -l [17:54] TheBlackRussian, do you see your partitions? [17:54] symbiosis: I think Ctrl+Alt+L is the default for "Lock Computer" [17:54] why use ufw instead of iptables? [17:55] I can see my windows 8.1 hard drive. [17:55] TheBlackRussian: WOW! COOL! [17:55] nha: Thank you very much...was not aware of that shortcut [17:55] i know, very cool [17:55] symbiosis: You're welcome :) [17:57] and yes i can see my partitions [17:57] then mount the partition then [17:58] wait what? Mount my partition? [17:58] i think its already mounted... I can see it when i go on file. Its under devices [18:00] The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option. [18:03] olá [18:07] windows [18:07] wachpwnski1, try ##windows and good luck [18:09] am I allowed to ask a Mate related question here? [18:09] (on Ubuntu-Mate) ;) [18:10] epyx, Mate is in the last two releases, if using these yes. [18:10] great! [18:10] Can someone tell me how to boot the ubuntu iso (stored on disk) from the grub command line? [18:11] http://i.imgur.com/1SHWtei.png (screenshot) <-- selection color is set to light blue however some programs, synaptic in the example, goes with green [18:11] worble, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot couple of options [18:11] how would I change this? [18:11] worble, see this wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [18:11] furthermore how do I change the color of a progress bar? [18:11] bubbasaures, DerHeks: I need to use the grub command line and there isn't enough info at that page to actually boot [18:13] worble, that is all the info you need to boot a ubuntu iso from grub, several ways, read it!!!! [18:13] worble, If you want to boot the install from the grub command than state that. [18:14] bubbasaures: I want to boot the iso from the grub command (I did state that ?) [18:14] worble, Never seen a iso booted that way, I said the install. [18:16] worble, It might be worth you telling us the whole story, there may be other options than you're using is all. [18:16] bubbasaures: The page says I can boot the live cd from grub terminal [18:17] Good morning, Ubuntu lovers! I need some help from Ubuntu Touch lovers... [18:17] Hello. On specific machine with Lubuntu, I'm able to loging by user without providing password. But, when I want to apt-get update then system doesn't accept lack of password. What can I do with that? [18:17] bubbasaures: My grub installation is screwed up, chroot in host system doesn't seem to be working. I am going to try chroot from live cd but that largest usb I have is 1G. No DVD drive [18:18] worble, Cool, if that works go for it I use grml rarely but it's onboard. [18:18] Sorry, I didn't know that I was sending a message as somebody else. I'll be waiting for a response under #ubuntu-touch [18:19] bubbasaures: I tried grml, the problem is my grub is screwed up so it gets confused about the drive paths [18:19] I meant, at the same time as somebody else. [18:19] !bootinfo | worble this will give you info to analyze and post if needed. [18:19] worble this will give you info to analyze and post if needed.: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [18:20] bubbasaures: Thanks, that might be helpful [18:21] worble, Sure no prob, show us a pastebin of it if you can. [18:21] I am using Cairo-Dock 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04, I use dock with openGL along with Gnome desktop environment, My window manager is "Compiz" though I am using Cairo-Dock with openGL and CCSM(Compiz Config Settings Manager), It was working like charm seamlessly, recently according to Ubuntu 12.04 "manager update" i installed updates but after rebooting Cairo-Dock with openGL and without openGL is not working, I also tried to run cairo-dock from Ubuntu Terminal, [18:21] it says"segmentation fault" [18:21] I have figured out all options known to me through various forums and threads but fully exhausted in my attempts to recover, Kindly suggest the measures to recover it. [18:24] Hey everyone, I kinda tacked on a recursive to a chmod and I'm not to familiar with the consequences of my actions. [18:24] ran chmod -R 700 on home directory [18:25] single user environment is there a need for a reinstall? [18:25] worble, There is also a tiny download iso supergrub that will boot your installs if bootable still. You can than fix from the desktop. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ [18:26] supergrub is a nice tool to have on a multi boot usb === andrea is now known as Guest15894 [18:30] bubbasaures: Yeah, boot info script doesn't help: I already know what the problem is, I need to install grub on my new drive [18:30] worble, Can I see the script? [18:31] worble, Grub on a msdos goes in the mbr, than you boot from that HD, sorry if this is known by you is all, hard to tell what is going on from here is all. [18:32] bubbasaures: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9415519 [18:32] thanks [18:33] worble, sda is the fix right? [18:33] bubbasaures: More background: I bought a new drive, I wanted to move root onto it. So I rsynced the data but I cannot seem to be able to run grub in a chroot so that it gets updated [18:34] bubbasaures: fix? sda is old SSD with root. sdc is new SSD with root. I can boot from sda. I want to boot from sdc [18:34] worble, Have you failed to just get the chroot to the root on the install? [18:34] i can't wait for the Desura Client update to be released and for GOG Galaxy to be released. #linuxgaming #linuxmasterrace [18:34] bubbasaures: I can chroot but update-grub fails [18:34] worble: It acts like the special devices (e.g. /dev /proc) are not mounted but they are [18:34] bubbasaures: ^ === aguslr` is now known as aguslr [18:35] bubbasaures: So I have been trying to either boot into that device directly from grub or into a livecd where I will try to chroot again [18:35] worble, What is in sdc, and that seems strange from looking at the script is all, trying to understand you reasoning and end goal. [18:35] bubbasaures: sdc is a new drive where I have copied the root partition [18:36] bubbasaures: I want to boot from my new drive [18:36] I am using Cairo-Dock 3.0.0 on Debian 7.7, I use dock with openGL along with Gnome desktop environment, My window manager is "Compiz" though I am using Cairo-Dock with openGL and CCSM(Compiz Config Settings Manager), It was working like charm seamlessly, recently according to Debian 7.7 "manager update" i installed updates but after rebooting Cairo-Dock with openGL and without openGL is not working, I also tried to run cairo-dock from Debian Terminal,it s [18:36] ays"segmentation fault" [18:36] I have figured out all options known to me through various forums and threads but fully exhausted in my attempts to recover, Kindly suggest the measures to recover it. [18:37] I am using Cairo-Dock 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04, I use dock with openGL along with Gnome desktop environment, My window manager is "Compiz" though I am using Cairo-Dock with openGL and CCSM(Compiz Config Settings Manager), It was working like charm seamlessly, recently according to Ubuntu 12.04 "manager update" i installed updates but after rebooting Cairo-Dock with openGL and without openGL is not working, I also tried to run cairo-dock from Ubuntu Terminal, [18:37] it says"segmentation fault" [18:37] I have figured out all options known to me through various forums and threads but fully exhausted in my attempts to recover, Kindly suggest the measures to recover it. [18:37] worble, copied the root from sda1 with a rsync to sdc? [18:37] bubbasaures: Yes [18:38] bubbasaures: And then modified fstab [18:38] on sdc [18:38] bubbasaures: I thought this would be trivial but it has been two days now.... [18:39] worble, Not sure how well this script reads btrfs however it shows nothing in sdc, it should show /boot/grub stuff. I see grub in the sdc. [18:39] sdc's mbe [18:39] bubbasaures: Can anybody come to the Ubuntu Touch channel? I don't mean to be bothersome... [18:39] mbr* Doh [18:39] bubbasaures: Both drives are btrfs === rigor789 is now known as rigor789|away [18:40] worble, Yeah I see that, So was this a attempt to just end up with a seperate home? [18:40] bubbasaures: No, I needed a bigger drive [18:41] worble, Ah I thought so, myself I just clone the whole thing and move it. [18:41] than you have a backup as well [18:42] viva clonezilla ;) [18:43] bubbasaures: What do you mean by clone? rsync was my "clone" [18:44] worble, I mean I clone the whole OS rsync is a transfer, abstractly a clone yes. [18:45] worble, Seems, I may be guessing that you have just taken a much harder road than needed but you may be trying to learn. [18:46] bubbasaures: I don't think that would work for me, I want both drives accessible at the same time. In any case that wasn't the approach I chose, copying files is pretty basic and should work [18:46] worble, Accessible at the same time how? [18:47] bubbasaures: Like, I should be able to see both drives at all times [18:48] bubbasaures: Also, I'm not sure what "clone" means exactly? dd ? [18:48] worble, Hmm, well I seem to not really be getting anywhere helping you, sorry, others may have a better help plan. [18:48] bubbasaures: thanks anyway [18:49] bubbasaures: It just seems insane. People must be upgrading drives all the time, it shouldn't be this hard [18:49] worble, No prob, we all do things differently that's what makes it fun. ;) [18:50] bubbasaures: I thought my approach was the simplest and it was what people recommended: Copy the files, then re-install grub on new drive [18:50] should have been easy [18:50] worble, I rsync my home as it is not separate, and use this for an image/clone http://clonezilla.org/ [18:51] hey all. [18:51] worble: A dd image clone would have been extremely simple. [18:51] I've just purchased a brand new HP Envy laptop [18:51] the install went perfectly as far as I can tell but I can't boot in ubuntu. Windows loads straight away [18:51] no boot menu is presented [18:51] I image all installs, they are all rather small however, all the extra shared is on externals with backups of the images and rysyncs [18:51] I've disabled secure boor mode [18:51] ^boot mode [18:52] but still see no grub menu [18:52] does anyone have any idea whats going on? [18:52] triss, This a W8 dualboot? [18:52] yep [18:53] triss, Have you seen the ubuntu UEFI wiki? [18:53] just looking now [18:53] rypervenche: The UUIDs would have been duplicated which means I would have to have done weird things to separate them [18:53] thanks bubbasaures [18:53] triss: hopefully you booted ubuntu install media in EFI mode [18:54] worble: It's not hard to create a new UUID for a partition. [18:55] hmmm... im not sure. I think uefi on first reading.... [18:56] triss, Make sure you image that windows off the computer if it really matters to you asap. [18:56] you mean backup? [18:56] rypervenche: Yeah I guess not. Anyway a low-level copy like that seemed more risky and that view was shared by at least one other person on #btrfs [18:57] triss, I would image/clone it, you have at least one free if pro or below, cover your booty is the point any thing can happen. [18:57] worble: In any case, I don't think doing an rsync is unreasonable; It's not obviously much worse than any alternatives [18:58] triss, Probably wont happen but we see people brick their W8 setups on occasion is all and not know what to do. === luckybunny is now known as lbaway [18:59] worble: I don't see how it could be bad. It's an exact copy of your data. You would just have to expand your partition to use the new space if the drive were larger. [19:00] bubbasaures: i risked everything it seems... no backup... but the linjk you pointed me at has let me fix things [19:00] worble: But it depends what you want out of the backup. If you just want the files, then rsync is fine. If you want to be able to easily use a new hard drive, dd is the way to go (with a higher than normal bs for better transfer speeds) [19:00] triss, Cool, enjoy. [19:04] Is there a friendly soul out there that can help me debug bluetooth on Ubuntu? [19:04] umolusk, State the issue for help. [19:06] http://lpaste.net/115885 <- Some info. I know I have a bluetooth chip on my computer because when I had win8 installed I could use bluetooth. Now I swtiched to Ubuntu and I can't get Bluetooth to work. === lbaway is now known as luckybunny [19:08] hey guys, anyone here experienced with TestDisk ? I accidentally wiped out my Windows partitions installing Linux. I could access my D: partition with TestDisk. But when I try to "List File" from my C: partition, TestDisk stop working, crashes. === Caroga is now known as Caroga_afk [19:10] Noone good at Bluetooth? === rigor789|away is now known as rigor789 [19:12] umolusk, I know nothing, but there is a wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [19:12] what is hci? [19:13] host controller interface [19:14] umolusk: are you the one that has been playing with bluetooth for several days? at one point, talking about it in here for an entire day? :) [19:17] umolusk, have you powered off your computer leave it for a few seconds the power up again, then recheck bluetooth? [19:18] gr33n7007h, yes. [19:18] umolusk, what does `hciconfig` say? [19:18] from the info in my paste, what can you say? [19:19] http://lpaste.net/115885 [19:19] updated with hciconfig output [19:19] umolusk, try `hciconfig hci0 up` [19:22] steam won't start in after installation in ubuntu 14.04. help please. [19:22] i can't get server 14.04 to boot on an asrock 990fs extreme 9 - are there certain features i should try to disable to get modern desktop boards to boot? [19:23] Baube: What are you running testdisk from? [19:23] ag4ve_: why server? [19:23] ag4ve_: flash drive or DVD? [19:23] gr33n7007h, connection timed out [19:24] ag4ve_: define can't get it to boot [19:24] umolusk, is bluetooth internal or dongle? [19:24] gr33n7007h, internal [19:24] paste `lsusb | grep -i bluetooth` [19:25] i was sent here for this question: i want to make a change to the gui under 12.04, is there a file i can change somewhere to make a change to the gui? [19:25] guijunkie: what do you want to change ? [19:25] gr33n7007h, no output on that [19:25] what does that mean? [19:25] i dont use a usb dongle, bluetooth is internal === rustyraptor_ is now known as rustyraptor [19:26] ikonia: i want to add the volume sliders under settings>sound>applications to the volume popout of the desktop [19:26] rypervenche : I'm running it from Live Ubuntu USB drive. [19:26] guijunkie: no, you can't do that [19:26] so it's not loaded at boot? try a total power off for a few secs then power back on? exactly the same issue I has on my sony vaio [19:27] ikonia: is there any reason why not? or is there a way that i can make a dropdown like chrome does? [19:27] guijunkie: no [19:31] even with leet programming skillz? [19:34] f [19:36] Baube: You may want to try a different live cd ? What version of testdisk does it have on it? [19:38] rypervenche : TestDisk 6.14, now I'm running PhotoRec it's trying to recover files. [19:38] Baube: Yeah, that's the latest. [19:39] rypervenche : It's working well for all the partitions, but for my Windows one (C:). It just crash when I try to list files. [19:39] daftykins: dvd [19:40] ikonia: i've got it to come up with loading syslog (or some such) but it doesn't get past isolinux [19:40] then it's not loading syslog [19:40] is there a way that i can open a specific part of the settings window from terminal? [19:40] ISO linux is pre-boot [19:40] ag4ve_: flash drive would be roughly a billion times better. [19:41] better? [19:41] than DVD. [19:41] i mean how? [19:41] I am now UTL2. I'm changing apps. [19:41] other than not wasting plastic, dvd should work where flash drive doesn't [19:42] daftykins: is there a way that i can open settings from terminal? [19:42] ag4ve_: should, but maybe you have a bad burn... maybe the download was corrupt, maybe your drive is faulty... yada yada [19:42] ag4ve_: did you MD5 test the ISO you burned? [19:42] though this is an old dvd drive, maybe the laser is out of alignment on the inner track or something... couldn't hurt [19:42] quickie121: specifically what are you trying to achieve? [19:43] ag4ve_: did you burn the DVD as slowly as possible? [19:43] nah, just cdrecord -v .... [19:43] speed is irrelevant when verifying - *if* you verify :) [19:43] yeah, i should cat dev | md5sum and see what's up [19:44] daftykins: slower burn makes a better impression on the disk [19:44] ag4ve_: the CD has a self test feature :) [19:44] ActionParsnip: i don't need a lesson ty :) [19:44] daftykins: nw [19:45] ActionParsnip: tried that and the display went blank [19:45] it seriously won't boot :) [19:45] daftykins: i want to open systemsettings>sound>applications from terminal, better yet i want to be able to do it in one line :/ [19:45] ag4ve_: you can also mount the DVD you have and manually kick off the MD5 test from within an OS === Stacey is now known as Guest89528 [19:45] Hello World [19:46] quickie121: yeah no clue. [19:46] huh, wouldn't've thought of that, but i think md5sum /dev/sr0 is the way to go [19:47] though i guess i should check whether ubuntu does md5 or sha before wasting time.. [19:47] s [19:47] ag4ve_: you'll need to mount the ISO then run: md5sum MD5SUMS I think it is, it will then test the data === tekkbuzz is now known as Guest54452 [19:47] gr33n7007h, well i have powered off many times so there must be some setting that i have to change as well [19:48] somthing that tells it to load it at boot [19:49] daftykins: i know about gnome-control-center, but is there a way i can control which section of the settings menu it opens? [19:49] ag4ve_: ActionParsnip md5sum -c /path/to/iso/md5sum.txt [19:49] ag4ve_: indeed :) [19:49] quickie121: i don't even use desktop. i'm the worst person to ask, address the whole channel [19:49] so the checksums look correct [19:50] EriC^^: yeah couldnt quite remember the syntax fully [19:50] how can i control which section i open with terminal command : gnome-control-center ? [19:50] ie, they compare with what's listed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for ubuntu-14.04.1-server [19:51] err, ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso [19:51] i guess i'll go with the second suggestion of writing a thumb drive... [19:52] ag4ve_: so why server? are you actually setting up a server or using a minimal approach to install a non-unity DE? [19:52] quickie121: dont think you can http://man.cx/gnome-control-center [19:52] quickie121: check the man page on the system you have, it may be different [19:52] nah, it seems less gets installed than if i do server and then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:52] using tor, i can configure browser proxy adress to 127.0.0.1:9051 and it will run throught tor. what is easy way to make some port on my pc listen on localhost, but instead go throught some vpn? [19:54] CodeGos6: ports and VPN tunnels are totally different things [19:55] Here I am again! [19:56] ActionParsnip: i found this, and it worked i can use "gnome-control-center sound applications" to do what i need, thank you for pointing me in the right direction! [19:56] quickie121: glad you got the gold :) [19:56] i need to test how some multiplay browser games works with high latency, can i somehow make single instance of application use vpn to access internet? [19:57] ActionParsnip: woops, forgot to include link : http://askubuntu.com/a/280589 [19:57] quickie121: nicely found [19:57] quickie121: not something I use but good to share :) === rigor789 is now known as rigor789|away [19:59] !away > rigor789|away [19:59] rigor789|away, please see my private message === txspud is now known as txspud|afk [20:01] i need to test how some multiplayer browser game works not in localhost enviroment, can i somehow make diferent instances of browsers to use different vpn connections to access internet( configuring only proxy wont suit me since i use webrtc for networking, it connects peers directly )? [20:02] ActionParsnip: well for future reference i used gnome-control-center keyboard shortcuts, and added a custom shortcut to ctrl+mute to run a gnome-control-center sound applications, command so i can set the output of my different applications [20:04] I, UTL2, am also under Ubuntu Desktop. [20:07] UTL: ok........ [20:07] Heh, just letting everyone on the channels know. [20:10] Leaving my tablet for UTL.

[20:45] how do I point ubuntu towards a DNS server through command line or configuration file [20:45] no gui [20:46] bubbasaures: okee, will ask there [20:46] Jinxed-: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null [20:46] Jinxed-: will apply that name server (I used 8.8.8.8 as an example) the setting will be lost on reboot [20:46] Guido1, There are earlier android images that are installable in a regular partition, but you probably know that. [20:47] if I do 'mysql-workbench' in terminal it opens, but if i right click an pin that to the taskbar and then try to open from taskbar shortcut it doesnt open.... anyone know how i can fix this?

Just testing new IRC commands; sorry. [21:20] * UTL apologizes. [21:21] * gotwig is irritated [21:22] * ActionParsnip drinks beer [21:25] * bubbasaures is 50 feet from a brew pub === jrunning_ is now known as jrunning [21:28] arent all pubs brew pubs? [21:29] ActionParsnip, Most are here, in house brew and other locals [21:30] i have a general question may i ask here ? [21:30] hello [21:30] yabbes: if its about ubuntu, yes [21:30] yabbes: as long as it is about Ubuntu support [21:30] its about executing a command in the terminal [21:30] its a general linux question [21:30] yabbes: ok, what are you after [21:31] just wondering if i can execute a command and keep it running even when i close the terminal [21:31] i know & [21:31] but it still ends the process when i close the terminal [21:31] where i made it run [21:31] yabbes: yes because the parent pocess of the thing you run, is the terminal [21:31] yeah, ActionParsnip [21:31] yabbes: so if you kill the parent, all its children die [21:32] yabbes: please state your question in *one* line, don't press so often [21:32] is there a way around it? how do i restart docky for example [21:32] guntbert, sorry, will do that. [21:32] perhaps with screen and detach, yabbes... but not sure [21:32] yabbes: could use nohup [21:32] im sorry, what is screen and detach, parmiggiano ? and thank you [21:33] ty, ActionParsnip, will try that [21:33] yabbes: nohup command & [21:33] its working ! [21:33] ty, guys, ty for helping:) [21:34] np [21:35] yabbes: if the process you run with nohup goes zombie [21:35] yabbes: you will need to reboot [21:35] ActionParsnip, oh :o [21:36] yabbes: check the details of the process in ps ;) [21:36] yabbes: what is the PPID ? [21:36] * UTL listens closely. As the conversation progresses, he wonders if anybody is listening on the #ubuntu-touch channel. [21:36] im doing just that right now because i was curious too ;) [21:36] yabbes: ps -ef | grep command [21:37] holy crap it's "1"?? [21:37] yabbes: yes [21:37] yabbes: the mother of all processes [21:37] mother of god [21:37] :D [21:37] * yabbes is in awe [21:37] yabbes: just type exit in the terminal and it will keep running [21:37] yabbes: so you cant kill the parent if your process goes zombie [21:38] i can still kill this process tho, right ? [21:38] oh [21:38] yabbes: it shouldnt if its something like a dock, should be ok. But just so you are aware [21:38] blabla, you mean like any process i started ? [21:38] even without nohup ? [21:38] yabbes: like & then type exit [21:38] thank you for that trick [21:39] thank you, ActionParsnip, helpful and learnt something about linux processes again.. very nice [21:40] yabbes: we're always learning :) [21:40] Hello! [21:40] blabla: if the parent dies, the children die. So when you run 'exit' the child apps will close too [21:41] ActionParsnip: no, give it a shot [21:41] Firefox crashes when I open standard Gmail, anybody else experience this problem? It's been like this since I updated to 14.10 [21:41] ActionParsnip: it's different then pressing the close button [21:41] *tahn [21:42] blabla: yeah same deal, PPID is 1 [21:43] interesting [21:44] so the terminal kind of consecutively makes all processes that were started during the session to "nohup" ones [21:44] i wonder how that is even possible [21:45] turns ...into * [21:45] yabbes: no the terminal only makes the ones you run from that terminal [21:45] yes [21:45] #warner === blabla is now known as EriC^^ [21:49] sloantothebone, try to remove ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/[profile name]/* and/or ~/.mozilla/firefox/* and try again? [21:50] remove from where? [21:50] oh folder [21:52] will removing both of these crash firefox? [21:53] no [21:53] which one has my history & cookies? [21:53] .cache probably [21:53] test [21:54] why can't I write to /var/log? [21:54] !test > Xsn00py [21:54] Xsn00py, please see my private message [21:54] It's saying permission denied even with sudo [21:54] wtf? [21:55] Foxhoundz: does it have its own partition? [21:55] Foxhoundz: or is it part of / on one partition? [21:55] under one partition [21:55] Foxhoundz: Sounds as though the partitoin is mounted read-only. [21:55] ... [21:56] the entire Linux filesystem partition? [21:56] hi all, since silverlight through pipelight no longer works in chrome, what is the best way to get silverlight working? [21:56] That doesn't make sense [21:56] it's all under one parition [21:56] Foxhoundz: Test it with "touch /testfile" [21:56] under the root folder? [21:56] Foxhoundz: if you run: echo "test" | sudo tee /var/log/test.log > /dev/null [21:56] is there any way i can use different vpn connections for different applications? i need a way test multiplayer in my network engine. is there a way to launch firefox and chrome running throught 2 different vpn connections? [21:56] Foxhoundz: do you see the text in the file? [21:56] Hi! Is there an easy way to have a three finger swipe gesture to trigger 'back' in the browser? [21:56] Foxhoundz: Yes, on the root file system, if you are only using one file system. Run it as root though. [21:57] ActionParsnip: yes I do [21:57] Foxhoundz: then its fine [21:58] Foxhoundz: were you running: sudo echo "text" >> /var/log/whatever ? [21:58] but.. [21:58] ActionParsnip: http://puu.sh/dlh1r/06b607d2e5.png [21:58] Yes [21:58] now I can't open Trash >:( but I think I now the solution [21:58] Foxhoundz: sudo doesnt traverse redirection [21:58] hmm [21:58] Foxhoundz: the only part of that command with sudo access is the echo command [21:58] well I'm trying to execute a cron task and dump its output in /var/log [21:58] so how would I handle the logging ? [21:59] Foxhoundz: hence why my command worked as the tee command was ran with sudo, giving it access [21:59] Foxhoundz: Oh, yeah you can't sudo echo into a file that has root permissions. [21:59] well I'm not echoing. I'm running this cron task [21:59] Foxhoundz: then cron as root [21:59] Foxhoundz: sudo crontab -e [21:59] Foxhoundz: then thecommand(s) will have access to the log folder etc [22:00] Foxhoundz: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [22:00] Ubuntu 14.10 [22:00] Foxhoundz: just checking, your $PS1 looked weird :) [22:01] Ahh, I've been hacking away at my bash profile [22:01] Foxhoundz: :D [22:01] ok. I set the crontab. [22:02] I guess I'll have to wait for five minutes [22:02] Unless...there's a way to force execute crontab tasks [22:02] 5 mins is nothing :) [22:07] yay! [22:07] that worked [22:07] How can I know if Ubuntu is recognizing my PC card? Is there a hardware or device GUI window (or a command line) were I can see all the recognized devices? [22:07] hay all [22:08] i have a question... [22:08] the one in .cache didn't work [22:08] where to begin or with wath to start to become a good programmer [22:08] ?? [22:12] cao [22:13] It crashed again [22:13] velho: Hardware info: terminal commands: lshw , lsusb , lspci . Also look in the logs for relevant info . [22:13] velho: heh Bashing-om beat me to those but also you can check dmesg [22:14] had sound in precise, no sound after upgrade to trusty [22:17] velcho: personally I like the following python script for most hardware/driver related stuff https://code.google.com/p/inxi/ should be installable from repo's iirc [22:18] tried reinstalling firefox, it still crashes [22:19] sloantothebone: do you use Thunderbird as email client? === someon is now known as someone [22:19] it is installed by default I believe but I never use it [22:20] sloantothebone: Close the browser and run: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old [22:20] how do I undo this if it doesn't work? [22:20] sloantothebone: rename the folder back... [22:21] done. Can I start firefox now? [22:23] f [22:23] Trying gmail... [22:25] so I kinda didn't md5sum kali when I partitioned my pc with it. that's self explanatory. but the hard part is that its set to detect a bootable stick. I have a good Ubuntu 14.04 disk. on screen says: a bootable device has not been detected. please refer to the Product Guide at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ [22:25] No luck. Firefox crashed like a china bowl on a diamond floor. [22:25] how can i make my keyboard work? [22:26] zacwalls, That makes no sense at least to me. [22:26] oh yeah [22:26] zacwalls: kali isn't supported here [22:26] your explanation [22:26] sloantothebone: tried firefox --safemode ?? type in terminal. it will start firefox without any addons etc [22:27] but Ubuntu 14.04 does [22:27] zacwalls: does what? [22:27] Before I do that I want to try something [22:27] btw my keyboard wont work now [22:28] i have tried all ports and a separate keyboard [22:28] sloantothebone: you can also try firefox -ProfileManager to see if it runs ok using another profile. type firefox --help for other commandline options [22:28] zacwalls, You're explanation makes no sense, can you detail ubuntu's role in this? [22:28] zacwalls: does it work in BIOS? [22:28] Get the mozilla ppa, move .mozilla and .cache/mozilla to a backup folder, uninstall and reinstall firefox from the mozilla repository, and put the backups back [22:29] zacwalls: Ubuntu 14.04, check settings in bios for USB devices, and enable "plug and play" in bios . [22:29] i had it before i had kali. now i have nothing === XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater [22:29] zacwalls: laptop or desktop? [22:29] zacwalls: again kali isn't supported here. Please ask in #kalilinux [22:30] zacwalls: your issue is in kali, not ubuntu [22:30] sloantothebone, ppa's are not supported here, why a mozilla ppa? [22:30] keyboard wont work [22:30] huh? [22:30] * squinty was wondering the same [22:30] zacwalls: then ask in ##hardware [22:30] sloantothebone, huh what and preface with nicks here. [22:31] okay cuz i alredy ask #kalilinux [22:31] zacwalls: laptop or desktop? (second time here...) [22:31] because a lot of programs that were having problems were easily fixed by downloading from a non-canonical ppa [22:31] zacwalls: that's where your distribution is supported. Not here [22:31] !ppa | sloantothebone that is your slanted experience [22:31] sloantothebone that is your slanted experience: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[22:34] is there a command to control system volume in 12.04? [22:35] *firefox crashes again* [22:35] sloantothebone, Youmight try #firefox [22:36] bashful: amixer can be used to increase and decrease volume [22:36] velho: : ) ; Here to help. [22:36] hello how can i use hping3 to jam my own modem? [22:36] sloantothebone: It's: firefox -safe-mode [22:36] there are only guides for websites. i want my own modem [22:36] sloantothebone: try running it in terminal. The output may be useful === owner_ is now known as Guest27642 [22:37] sloantothebone: does the system have free space and inodes?

[22:41] zacwalls: THIRD time now: laptop or desktop? [22:42] zacwalls: grab another to test. Have you tried resetting bios to failsafe [22:42] zacwalls: try accessing the BIOS when you first turn on the computer. that should show whether the problem is hardware or software related [22:42] yes [22:43] zacwalls: try another keyboard [22:43] i did [22:44] zacwalls: can you navigate the bios ok? [22:44] guys can you determine whether this is a laptop or what, i'm getting sick of asking [22:44] it's quite clear that the USB controllers need a reset via a power cycle. [22:44] if it's a laptop, remove mains + battery, etc etc [22:45] zacwalls: does the system have a make and model? [22:45] yes [22:46] zacwalls: can you even see my messages? [22:46] ok, new question, is there a way i can play an audio file from terminal as well? i dont want to have a gui pop up i just want to hear it.

[22:55] zacwalls: pull the mains power with it off for a minute [22:55] sounds like your USB controllers need resetting [22:55] like...unplug it? [22:55] zacwalls: power off the system and unplug the power. If possible pull the cmos battery and leave the system off overnight then put back together [22:55] zacwalls: correct. [22:55] i dont have that long [22:55] It will reset the board and empty the dmi cache [22:55] ActionParsnip: lol overnight, that's ridiculous [22:56] zacwalls: better get started.

[22:56] this pc isnt mine [22:57] daftykins: its worked in the past [22:57] zacwalls: well none of that is our problem and none of it is ubuntu's problem either. go talk in ##hardware for more please. [22:57] just remove power and hit the powerbutton, that will clear left energy too. [22:57] i just now turned the desktop on in the first 4 months [22:57] explain that [22:58] zacwalls: off topic here. go to ##hardware please.

[23:25] ActionParsnip: ok running it right now [23:26] evidently its not /etc [23:26] ok im back. my laptop just crashed, did i miss any important info? [23:26] wow this thing takes forever to update the package cache [23:27] wonder why it's taking so long... apt-get update doesn't take this long [23:27] MDTech-us_MAN: it doesn't put it anywhere, you make it, and specify it with -co [23:27] oh... [23:28] daftykins, how do i do a live session [23:28] what do i need to download [23:30] does it have to be overnight? [23:31] hey everyone... i have a t420 with ubuntu 14.04 and when i type 5 it registers as 'g5' and h becomes 'h6' same for when i hit 5 and 6 ... no water damage... and never dropped. is this keyboard fubared and should be replaced or what? also numlock is OFF. [23:32] arooni-mobile: does it happen in any other OS or boot cd [23:32] i dont have another os [23:32] other than virtualbox [23:33] arooni-mobile, No pluggable keybaords as a test? [23:33] oa* [23:33] reseting an iShuffle in Ubuntu, is it possible? [23:34] * epyx has not found anything on the nets [23:34] bubbasaures, at my home i do [23:34] what would it tell me if external keyboard works fine [23:34] that the problem is only keyboard?B [23:34] arooni-mobile: make a linux livecd or something, sounds like a hardware problem [23:35] hello [23:35] arooni-mobile, think about it for a minute. [23:35] it would tell me its not ubuntus fault [23:35] its purely a keyboard or a keyboard controller issue [23:36] ActionParsnip: figured it out, just had to stop compton from starting [23:36] arooni-mobile, It is a variable test, you start there looking for the answer. [23:38] coolstar: nice :-) [23:39] hmm, compiz brings up a bug with whisker menu :/ [23:39] oh well I guess I'll just edit whisker menu's code since I already forked it [23:39] Compiz is a joke [23:40] ActionParsnip: what's wrong with compiz? [23:40] isnt compiz a part of new ubuntu releases already out of the bxo? [23:40] coolstar: seen too many issues with it for some worthless eyecandy and a small few useful features. [23:41] yabbes: not here :-) [23:41] yabbes, the ubuntu desktop unity yes. [23:41] yeah in unity [23:41] ActionParsnip: if only blur could be added to compton then I wouldn't want compiz xD [23:41] * yabbes uses unity [23:41] ActionParsnip: compiz seems to run pretty nicely on this $200 laptop though [23:41] coolstar: is it not in gnome shell (for example) [23:42] ActionParsnip: I use xfce though [23:42] Have an odd one I've not seen before. According to the output of dpkg -L lighttpd, the files files /etc/cron.d/lighttpd and /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd should exist. However, those files are not in place after an apt-get install. I even tried re-installing, and they still aren't there. This is 14.04.1. Ideas? [23:42] coolstar: I'm an openbox guy. No DE, not even a DM :-) [23:42] its been a long time since i had any issues with unity, but fullscreen applications in particular have had a history of bad behaviour [23:42] *compiz [23:44] i personally think Cannonical should had went with something in the style of Luna/Elementary OS tho [23:44] Or dtuck to the same as gnome. . [23:46] anyone care to help me with some questions about unity and maybe switching it to gnome? [23:47] HerrBanano, You can have both unity the gnome shell and fallback. [23:47] had sound in precise, no sound in trusty === l2ksolkov is now known as Guest17003 === l2ksolkov_ is now known as l2ksolkov [23:47] cinimoon: did you upgrade from precise to trusty? [23:47] gnome shell is unity with the look of gnome, correct? [23:48] HerrBanano: it uses mutter as WM instead of Compiz [23:48] HerrBanano, Not quite unity is on top of gnome 3 unity is a plugin in compiz the shell is the gnome 3 desktop [23:49] so the fallback is just bare gnome as-is, am i right? [23:49] ActionParsnip: barley, I went through many partial upgrades of quantal,raring,and saucy to get here (videocard issue) [23:49] HerrBanano, A pseudo gnome 2 is the look [23:49] HerrBanano, pics all over the web and info. [23:50] cinimoon: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* ~/.config/pulse* [23:50] cinimoon: wait a few seconds after you run the command and then try some sounds [23:50] I am seeing strange behavior with sudo su [23:51] when I sudo su, it hangs. when I used ctrl d, it successfully went into root [23:51] ActionParsnip: still nosound [23:51] LinuxGold, try sudo -i really not often is this needed [23:52] HerrBanano: might want to check out gnome-session-flashback description. it can be installed without uninstalling unity and selected as an alternate desktop from the lightdm log in [23:52] LinuxGold: or sudo -s [23:52] never had problem with sudo su until now that it changed somehow [23:52] cinimoon: if you run: alsamixer ,are all levels maxed and unmuted? [23:53] sudo -s works -- but sudo -i have same effect as sudo su [23:53] ActionParsnip: wow turns out they removed the blur plugin from compiz :/ [23:53] i found that option, but i don't want to have to select a desktop every time i boot. squinty [23:53] LinuxGold, general linux command not really at home in ubuntu [23:53] any workaround for that? [23:53] ok [23:53] ok back to compton/xf4wm4 it is [23:53] *xf4wm [23:53] HerrBanano: once you select it the first time it will become the default desktop === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:53] maybe pm if that's easier cause i realise this is a bit of a noob question [23:53] ah thanks [23:54] that s probably all i need to know [23:54] HerrBanano, When you have more than one desktop, the login defaults to the one running on shutdown. [23:54] my laptop-turned-desktop is turning into a bit of a dinosaur and i feel unity isn t contributing to it's performance [23:54] HerrBanano: I had it installed on another box for awhile... didn't run into any problems with it. :) [23:55] LinuxGold: why not prefix the commands you want to run as root, with sudo [23:55] HerrBanano, You might want to lighter than like lubuntu. [23:55] LinuxGold: it has a grace period so you don't need to type your password for every command [23:55] tbh if it wasn' t for ubuntu this thing would've gone out the window 3 years ago [23:56] HerrBanano: there are plenty of other distributions. Many existing before Ubuntu [23:56] ActionParsnip: nothing muted. master and headphone maxed. PCM near maxed to green (not red) [23:56] HerrBanano: might also want to consider the MATE desktop [23:56] i'm aware of that ActionParsnip, thanks though [23:56] cinimoon: use F6 to switch devices. Scroll hard to the right [23:57] HerrBanano: so, you could have installed one of those instead of Ubuntu if Ubuntu didn't exist [23:58] more linux OS's than our local planet groups and their moons by a long shot. [23:59] first distro i tried was ubuntu and since it has always worked perfectly for me i haven't tried anything else, ActionParsnip. [23:59] wow this is impressive [23:59] well that was unfortunate [23:59] xubuntu uses less disk space than chrome os [23:59] CD, Mic Phone, Aux were turned down. no effect in turning them up
