Any suggestions on getting it to rotate closer to the time it's scheduled?

[00:48] is it critical to be running iptables rules on a remote linode server? [00:48] EuaD: they're your provider, ask them for their advice :) [00:49] doubt they provide support like that for free accounts. [00:49] in fact i'm just asking if i have a WAN facing server, is it critical to be running iptables rules in general [00:49] didn't know they offered anything for free. ho-hum [00:49] 14 days yes [00:50] yes, i know you are [00:50] Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz, 250GB, 1GB RAM, 2000GB/month bandwidth [00:52] daftykins: heres my fdisk output http://paste.ubuntu.com/9434366/ [00:52] so the verdict is stil out? iptables rules or no on a WAN facing server running apache, nginx, teamspeak, mumble, minecraft [00:52] soomro786: so you need to resize sda5 to make an sda6 [00:52] EuaD: it'd be more relevant in #ubuntu-server [00:53] daftykins: i have data on it will that get tampered?

It works fine when logged into the desktop on the host. Any tips? [00:57] EuaD: The answer is "it depends", if the iptables rules you're going to write just allow all traffic from anywhere to the same ports you're already opened, well, they're not doing much. [00:57] EuaD: i'd set up rules on that, yes - locked down as much as you can by source IPs, but I"m a little paranoid [00:57] EuaD: BUT, you are protecting yourself against configuration errors where you open up something to the world that wasn't intentional. [00:58] n[p0 [00:58] EuaD: So I'd use iptables just to limit exposure. [01:00] makes sense, thanks guys [01:01] some times when i switch on the computer it shows unable to munt the other volume in hdd [01:01] mount [01:02] and restart require === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as J^D_is_coming_so [01:04] what to do [01:06] devilspgd, not intentional? all those services to the best of my knoweldge are meant to be run open to the world unless i'm not understanding your statement [01:07] EuaD: Right. I guess my point is that if the iptables rules you're going to write just say "Allow all traffic to a list of ports, reject everything else" and if you only have those ports open, and everything else is closed, the results are the same whether you remember to load your iptables rules or not. [01:08] devilspgd, oh that i understand. i'll lock it down with ufw or iptables to only allow traffic on specific ports. [01:09] Sure, but if those are the only ports that happen to be open, the end results are the same. [01:09] But say you didn't intend to open MySQL to the world, and in a week you accidentally bind it to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, well, having iptables already set up might save you some hurt. [01:09] So it's good form to have it enabled, definitely. [01:10] devilspgd, i think you just confused me more. lol im going to lock down my server completely by reject/drop all traffic to ports besides the specific ports that my services are running on. is that correct? [01:10] hey guys... ive installed libbluray and vlc, but i cant play my bluray. any help? http://i.imgur.com/sMOsl3W.png [01:11] Yup, that's correct. [01:11] dts|pokeball, not all blueray discs will play [01:11] But even without iptables, traffic sent to ports that aren't opened by something will just get rejected anyway. [01:11] OerHeks, how can i tell if it will play or not/ [01:11] dts|pokeball: luck [01:12] if it doesnt work on linux can it work better on windows?

It supposedly satisfies dependencies for source based installs, but don't binary packages also require those dependencies? Or are those dependencies already compiled into the binary when you're just installing from the package manager? === codell is now known as colinodell [02:07] I'm using 14.04 LTS and I'd like to prevent deluge from running at boot. It doesn't show up in the startup applications, even if I do this: sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop Deluge doesn't appear to have an option to change this behavior in its preferences, either. Does anybody have any other suggestions? [02:08] freeroute: grab a package with: apt-get source packagename; and look at the debian/control file, you'll see the difference (compare with say, apt-cache depends packagename;) [02:08] didn't even know I could get only the source package haha [02:09] oh crap it installed without asking me [02:09] wtf [02:10] bad apt-get! [02:10] freeroute: it doesn't install, it downloads and unpacks the package to the current directory [02:10] freeroute: hence the lack of sudo [02:11] ah I see [02:14] hi [02:14] hi. [02:14] What is the point of IRC? [02:15] what is the point of life? [02:15] I'm not really sure [02:18] Hey. You know youtube-dl? Is there a way to download tracks that a soundcloud user "likes" [02:19] oh [02:19] trism: so what's this debian/control file you're referring to? I did 'apt-get source tmux' inside a dir I made and it downloaded and extracted a subdir with a bunch of .c files [02:20] explodes: not sure, but if you know the link and that link is a list you can usually youtube-dl that. Just as say I go to a user's soundcloud link and that user has a bunch of tracks he made, I can simple do 'youtube-dl "www.soundcloud.com/userprofile"' and then it downloads all tracks from that user. [02:21] but be sure to upgrade your youtube-dl to support feature [02:21] *more features [02:21] freeroute: the apt-get source tmux will download and unpack a directory tmux-version-something, in that directory there will be a debian directory, and a file name control in there. that's where the build-deps are specified [02:22] freeroute: that is tracks that the user published, not the one's they liked [02:23] trism: ah... so that's the info I see when I do 'aptitude show tmux'. Cool :) [02:24] explodes: true, but if soundcloud has a link to the tracks that the user liked, you could potentially use that [02:24] freeroute: don't see any build-deps there, just deps [02:24] freeroute: if i parse the webpage myself; i'm just hoping there was a way to have youtube-dl do it. [02:27] freeroute: it deps on libevent-2.0-5, libtinfo5, those are required to run the binary, it build deps on libncurses5-dev, libevent-dev which have the headers and such to build the binary === Metacity is now known as Goat [02:27] freeroute: plus some other build tools like pkg-config === Goat is now known as Metacity [02:27] trism: this is what I get - http://ubuntu.kpaste.net/c86 [02:28] good morning to all [02:28] o/ [02:29] hello, so here is the thing, i love cPanel, but its too expensive for me to use on my 5$ a month vps from digitalocean. and i think webmin is too complicated to use (i can't manage to setup emails on the vps with wembin) I was wondering, is there any other free panels for managing your VPS? that are good? [02:29] f.y.i. i am not a real pro at command-line without specific guides. [02:29] trism: so are those deps then compiled into the binary I install when I choose to 'sudo aptitude install tmux' ?

[03:33] lotuspsychje: Hm. "This does not look like a tar archive." [03:33] A clue, Sherlock? [03:33] since 2012 [03:33] Crell: this the bug i found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1312533 [03:33] Launchpad bug 1312533 in apache2 (Ubuntu) "Installing apache2 fails in apache2.preinst when a previous version was in removed state" [Medium,Fix released] [03:33] * Crell scratches his head. [03:35] * WyZeGuY scratches Crell's head, too. [03:35] I'd rather you scratched my back. I've an itch right behind the shoulder blade. [03:35] Crell: you sure permissions arent messed up somehow? [03:35] I don't think so... and I'm now trying as root directly. [03:35] Wait... wha? [03:36] Use the corner of a wall. [03:36] The /var/www dir is owned by "1000". [03:36] Crell: cause im readin snort similar errors on permissions [03:37] Hm. OK, now this is interesting... [03:38] The /vagrant dir is owned by vagrant:vagrant, as are its children. [03:38] But /var/www is 1000:1000 [03:38] Crell: i think if you install apache2 from a livecd, would install without errors [03:39] Had I a live CD... [03:39] Crell: talk to the #httpd guys, they might know what it is [03:39] This is in a Vagrant box.

[04:29] somsip: the only reason why I was being paranoid about it was the environment/permissions but I suppose there's no reason it should fail to work if I impersonate the right user [04:29] hi, [04:29] I've installed Grub2 on a USB and plan to use it to run ISO's. The problem is, I cant find the correct way to add custom menu-entries for grub2 === Fudster is now known as xpy [04:30] they all say edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom .. but where is this file ? as I have a boot partition/usb there is no /etc/grub.d/40_custom , only USB/boot/grub/* [04:31] !offline === xpy is now known as Guest80792 [04:33] MichaelHabib: To boot an .iso : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot . On an install that file " /etc/grub.d/40_custom " does exist >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214 Oct 23 2013 /etc/grub.d/40_custom . [04:35] Is it possible to expand an encrypted LUKS without deleting it? [04:35] Bashing-om: so /etc/grub.d/40_custom is available after installing the OS ? === Guest80792 is now known as Fudster [04:37] MichaelHabib: That is a fact . do in terminal -> ls -al /etc/grub.d/40_custom <- to see that is true. [04:38] akurilin: ignoring environmental needs is a common reason for the cronjob to fail, so you're right to focus on it. [04:39] Bashing-om: the thing is, I need to create the custom menus without any OS is installed . The idea is to have the USB to boot ISO's and maybe other OS's when needed .. but I need all these Grub2 Menu changes to be in one location, not depenent on installing an os [04:40] MichaelHabib: In your proposal, I see no way . You see grub's 2nd stage boot code is located in the installed system . [04:41] the idea is Grub2 + Custom Menus + ISOs all on one partition [04:42] SO looking at Stage1 , how do I create Custom Menu entries to point GRUB2 to the OS(s) I want to boot? === O_O is now known as kerosene [04:42] MichaelHabib: BUT, from an 'buntu install from grub it is possible to boot up an 'buntu .iso . [04:44] When expanding a LUKS partition, is it required to remove it and replace it with a new expanded one? [04:44] MichaelHabib: I know of no way to embedd the pointers in stage 1 boot code to point to the location of the stage 2 code. [04:46] MichaelHabib: IF one is conversant with a hex editor, and know their stuff, I am sure it can be done, but way above my skill set . [04:48] hi guys [04:49] hi [04:49] MichaelHabib: This is the manual : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html . All you wnat to know about grub and more. [04:49] want* [04:50] I am trying to pass some requests via a proxy server on my localhost [04:50] and I am getting this error: [04:50] Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused [04:50] on askubuntu, the only thing I could find was this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/403512/connection-was-refused-by-other-side-111-connection-refused [04:50] can anyone explain how I can get my requests through this ? [04:51] nomadist: you are proxy on localhost? [04:52] holstein, yes, I am using https://github.com/scrapinghub/splash [04:52] it is a service that renders javascript for scraping.. [04:52] nomadist: maybe the creators will provide support [04:53] but isn't this an OS problem? [04:54] nomadist: you can always try it with another OS via a live CD.. i would want to isolate the OS and the application for sure [05:01] hello [05:01] world [05:03] Bashing-om: ty ty, while non of the 10s of sites I have been on mention ist, I can create /boot/grub/custom.cfg .. this will keep my custom menu entries on the boot partition while other os specific changes can be done on /etc/grub.d/40_custom [05:05] I installed Ultimate Edition 4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04 based) dual booted with windows 8. I added the swap partition but did not add the bios manager option. I can only boot into linux through the CD > Boot from harddisk. How can I get a grub menu that lets me choose between win8.1 and linux without having to wipe my linux partition? [05:06] MichaelHabib: Yes, and NO, be aware that grub.cfg is a dynamic file .. it is created from a number of other files. Each time there is a change in the kernel that file will be re-created. [05:17] I can only reboot if I first boot into live USB [05:18] MichaelHabib: Is this an exercise in learing ? The obvious thing is to install a bare bones ubuntu ( @ 5 Gigs) and then boot any .iso file from the installed grub . ( grub's boot process is a particular interest of mine) === dave is now known as Guest53439 [05:22] hello [05:22] hey all. I just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, and now whenever I log in the background image shows up but nothing else of the desktop. Just hangs. In /var/log/syslog I find this error: *ERROR* No supported display adapters were found [05:22] so it seems like it may be some driver issue, but I am not sure how to proceed. The ubuntu wiki did not help me [05:23] i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc [05:23] why?? [05:25] Hey guys, quick question (hopefully), I added a second hard drive (sdb) that I want to mount as /home/jason/ [05:25] So can I use this second hard drive in addition to my first hard drive to supplement the space of my home/jason dir? If so, how can I do it via the cli [05:26] Smaug: A proprietary drive in use prior to the release upgrade ? such that the driver is now broken . [05:27] Bashing-om: perhaps. how would i determine that? [05:28] if I run "lspci | grep VGA" it shows I have san AMD RS880M [Mobility Radeon 4225/4250] [05:28] i looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver but i don't see instructions on it for installing anything [05:28] Smaug: For a looksee; what returns -> sudo lshw -C display <- ? look on the "configuration" line annd see if/what driver is installed . === sins-_m is now known as sins- [05:30] Smaug: " [Mobility Radeon 4225/4250 " that card no longer has support from ATI . [05:30] the configuration line just says "latency=0" [05:30] \exit [05:31] Bashing-om: alright, so I need to switch to open source support? (Hopefully? <:/) [05:33] according to the RadeonDriver wiki page it has community support [05:33] Smaug: That is a fact. IF you want 14.04 . Purge FGLRX and install the open source driver. ( I run an old ATI card/open source driver and have no problem, but, I am not a gamer ) [05:33] I am not a gamer either [05:34] i dont believe you [05:35] how can I install open source driver? on the wiki page the only install it has is "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" is that the driver? [05:35] Smaug: -> dpkg -l | grep fglrx <- and take it from there to purge the proprietary driver that no longer does you any good . [05:36] ok to purse using apt-get as described https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx ? [05:36] *purge [05:36] or is dpkg better [05:36] Smaug: A LOT depends on how you installed a driver ( if you did) as to what it will take to remove it . [05:37] well IF i installed anything, i would have preferred ap-get (but it would have been a few years ago, honeslty don't remember) [05:37] i may not have installed anything non default also [05:37] certainly the computer has the same hardware as when i got it [05:40] i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc [05:40] why?? [05:42] hi, I'm trying to run flashplayer (standalone) to run a swf and it complains about not being able to load canberra-gtk-module. Now, all points to the fact that I have a 64-bit installation and flash was compiled for a 32-bit env, so there's some conflict.... is there any way to run a swf file in Ubuntu with a player that works? :) [05:42] doing it now...looks like there was no fglrx to uninstall.. [05:42] Smaug: Run -> dpkg -l | grep fglrx <- and we see what components are installed . [05:43] <_root_> hello [05:43] <_root_> I am looking for another source for http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yosemix?content=167692 [05:43] <_root_> do any of you know another source for this theme? === luckybun| is now known as luckybunny [05:47] Bashing-om: ahhh. messed up something bad. tried to follow the instructions to purge fglrx. restarted. issue remains [05:48] Bashing-om: at the terminal log in prompt, however, when i type an "a," instead of "a" appearing, either nothing appears or "^[a" appears [05:48] so i can't log in on terminal now either [05:49] does anybody know how to install Ubuntu on hp Omen? [05:49] Smaug: I fail to see how those instructions from the wiki could have this result. From grub boot menu, do you know how to boot to terminal ? [05:51] Bashing-om: i do not...is there a keyboard shortcut? [05:53] hold dodwn shift [05:53] i'm there [05:53] in grub [05:54] Bashing-om: i have grub command line, don't know if that counts as terminal [05:55] Smaug: I bet there is still an Xorg.conf file in effect from a maybe FGLRX driver (??) . // At the grub boot menu with the latest kernel with a asterisk to the left, press the e key for edit mode, arrow down to the kernel boot line ( similar: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=217ed9a7-e11a-4e32-8c05-992e8c8932b6 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff ) replace the terms "quiet splash" with the term "text" with out the quotes, key combo ct [05:55] i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc [05:55] why?? [05:55] this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashPlayerStandalone is NOT helpful. It does not work. [05:56] Bashing-om: i am replacing the words "quiet splash" with "text" [05:56] anything else? [05:57] what do you mean key combo ct? [05:57] it says press ctrl - x to boot, should I do so? [05:58] Smaug: Small steps, when in terminal, does the keyboard work ? key combo is a combination holding the control key and press the x key at the same time. [05:58] k. so should i boot now or not? [05:58] i was able to type and make the changes as you requested [05:58] it works in the grub editor [05:59] Smaug: You should now be booted to a terminal ( Command Line Interface) . [05:59] after pressing CTRL X? [05:59] Smaug: Yes, if you made the edit to the boot parameter line. [06:01] boots to terminal now, keyboard working correctly, able to sign in [06:03] Hi, I have a basic question about http proxy - is a scenario possible when there is a username without password? Like http_proxy=http://username@8.8.8.8:3128 ? === Kryxo is now known as Kryptron [06:03] Bashing-om: should i investigate something now? [06:04] Smaug: small steps ( I am tired 12 hours now on this keyboard ) .. does this file exist -> ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf <- . [06:05] Bashing-om: i appreciate you helping me! yes, the file exists [06:06] di [06:06] 이야 [06:06] 이야호! [06:07] Smaug: There be the problem why the keyboard was messed up earlier, delete it -> sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf <- there will be no future need of it . [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] ㅇ [06:07] sist you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [06:09] Bashing-om: done [06:09] Smaug: Good, now what remains. What returns -> dpkg -l | grep fglrx <- . [06:10] fglrx, fglrx-amdcccle [06:12] Smaug: -> sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle <- . [06:14] Bashing-om: done [06:15] if my file system is full and i want to continue to add files to my system, can i add a new partition with free memory and continue to add files to /home/userA [06:15] ? [06:15] Smaug: -> ls -al /usr/share/ati/ <- ; just to make sure a OEM install has not been attempted . [06:16] Bashing-om: yup, there is no /usr/share/ati [06:17] jackhall: The better thisng is to find out why/where the fullness exist ( many times it is old kernels in /boot that need to be removed) . in direct answer to your question, yes there are ways . [06:18] Bashing-om: its because i made it full with software im developing and using [06:18] and i need to continue my development [06:18] and need more storage [06:18] i have an encrypted ubuntu running by the way. what ways are there? is it recommended? what do other large corporations do? [06:19] jackhall: Then you want to investigate a) symlinks to other partitions, b) making up a new partition and mounting it . [06:20] Smaug: OK, next in the install ladder -> sudo apt-get install dkms <- . [06:20] Bashing-om: what do other companies do? Do you store their development files on an NAS server? [06:20] Bashing-om: just want to know the most recommended way of doing things [06:21] Bashing-om: already the newest version [06:21] jackhall: NAS is one solution, I store my stuff on a separate partition on my local hard drive. [06:22] Smaug: Good ! next -> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon <- . [06:22] Bashing-om: would you say NAS is preferred? i can buy a NAS server no problem === dts|pokeball is now known as illuminaughty === illuminaughty is now known as dts|pokeball [06:22] im gonna do that. how would i integrate an NAS server i buy with Ubuntu? [06:23] already newest version [06:23] jackhall: No I would not say it is preferred, your use case and what you do is the determinning factor. I like things in house and under my own control . [06:24] Smaug: Great ! -> sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core <- . [06:24] Bashing-om: i can buy a NAS server in house, but what would i do to integrate it to my /home === dts|pokeball is now known as marketbot [06:25] jackhall: Mount the NAS in fstab. But been too long since I have done that, Others can better advise . === marketbot is now known as dts|pokeball [06:27] Bashing-om: done [06:28] Smaug: Lastly, again -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <- just cheap insurance . then reboot to the GUI, let's see what we have now . [06:29] should i modify grub to revert back to what it was before when i restart? [06:30] Smaug: Nope, that edit was a one-time thing, will not persist. [06:30] ok [06:31] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTt9k4Y-a8 how can this shit have so many views? where does it come from? [06:31] by doing what you do [06:31] promoting it everywhere [06:32] haha, good answer [06:32] but srsly... those people commenting saying its a great song [06:33] its screwing with my mind [06:34] Bashing-om: Nice! Seems to be working now! [06:35] Smaug: Outstanding ! You do good work . [06:35] You have been such an amazing help, I appreciate it. I would send you a cake if I could.

[07:19] I've noticed that it can shrink it, but not expand HFS+, as far as I can tell [07:22] anyone? HFS+ support? [07:22] seventyninefourt: Give it time for a response. [07:23] seventyninefourt: As far as I know it needs to be done in OSX. [07:24] rypervenche: last I checked Disk Utility nukes the soul out of partitions it doesn't recognize, I don't know if that's changed since 10.6.8 [07:24] I'd gladly use DU, but I don't want to nuke my partitions in the process [07:25] seventyninefourt: If no one answers you might want to try in ##mac. From what I know Linux's support of HFS+ is limited. [07:25] if the media keys for changing the brightness used to function, and after a restart no longer function, what's likely to be the cause? scratching my head [07:26] lewis1711: drivers? [07:26] rypervenche: i'll hop over there, not positive === seventyninefourt is now known as henesy [07:27] henesy, I did change from the open source driver to fglrx, but I changed back and it still doesn't work. it's very strange [07:28] lewis1711: I've had problems in the past with swapping drivers, nvidia ones always needed some fix in /etc/X11 somewhere, I don't know about your card [07:31] changing the screen brightness in the energy saving dialog doesn't do anything either. weird. will try everything I read on google even if it makes no sense, and if it fails I'll reinstall I guess [07:32] lewis1711: can you use xsetbacklight [07:34] henesy, what package is it in?

I changed drivers yesterday and restarted and all was fine [08:07] henesy, Radeon HD 8330] [08:07] something I should look for on the wiki actually [08:07] probably, I have to go, best of luck [08:07] check the arch wiki too [08:07] cheers, thanks for your help [08:07] mp [08:08] henesy: that gives me fail to upload [08:08] bubbasaures: do you know which process that draw the desktop background?

[08:08] *or [08:08] henesy: that's what upload means, right? [08:09] If so, what's your framework, what's the process of uploading? SCP? Wordpress interface? FTP? [08:09] ahmadsu, compiz is the manager lots of ways to tweak and break there, can be reset though. === Guest16942 is now known as _lucifer [08:10] if you are uploading from FTP, you have to make sure whatever "user" is being written as by the FTP daemon has permissions, if you're scp'ing you have to make sure the local user is part of the www-data group or w/e, alternatively do the same wtih the FTP daemon (change group/append group), and if it's through wordpress, see ftp [08:10] and i'm off to sleep, night all [08:10] gl with your web server [08:14] bubbasaures: trying to reset compiz now. Thanks [08:15] what is this? [08:16] what is this program? === hien_ is now known as Guest97647 [08:26] what is what program? [08:27] you know that one with the thingy [08:27] oh, the thing-a-ma-bob, forgot about that do-hickey === Yukitteru is now known as Yukinotteru [08:33] Hello [08:34] Howdy [08:34] how do i change the hostname permanently? [08:34] !hostname [08:34] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [08:34] ^^ [08:35] why both the old and new hostname in /etc/hosts? [08:36] For transitions sake. You can remove the old one after everything is working. [08:36] ie. after a reboot? [08:36] Sure [08:37] ok, thanks very much! [08:49] Hi [08:51] accidently renamed /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ on a ubuntu LTS server. [08:52] Still have an ssh session open but can't run anything, it seems. [08:52] can anyone advice on what can be done please? [08:54] michaelr525: can you rename it back? no? In that case, shutdown, boot into recovery using a USB/CD boot and rename back. [08:54] michaelr525: another way would be to boot into busybox from grub and hope you can rename from there. [08:55] iptable: it's a server which I access with ssh [08:55] not sure I can do the above.. [08:56] michaelr525: that's not really relevant though, no? if you cannot run any commands from the box itself, then it will not get fixed and services will begin to fail. you will have to go to recovery/busybox. [08:56] michaelr525: you *could* try forking busybox from your bash session if you have it installed [08:57] michaelr525: why'd you do that, anyways? [08:58] hmm.. it wasn't me.. [08:59] he had some stupid reasons [08:59] shoot whoever done that. there is no reason to rename it. [08:59] it's like having some reason to throw a server out of the window to reboot it ;) [08:59] michaelr525: just type /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ [09:00] michaelr525: just type /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ sudo mv/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 [09:00] put a space after mv [09:00] i think it should work [09:01] EriC^^: out of couriosity, what will that do if he cannot run any commands? [09:01] iptable: do you know why he can;t run any commands? [09:01] unless he was lying and CAN run commands [09:01] EriC^^: I'm guessing more than just the ld library got renamed, but who knows === ascetic is now known as slick [09:03] Hello there, Is there some way to extend the max search-domains without recompiling libc? [09:03] is ubuntu still cool? === slick is now known as ande [09:03] Consfearacy: no, it's red hot ! [09:04] iptable: if you chmod -x an executable, you can run it by typing /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 [09:04] Consfearacy, do you have a TECHNICAL support question? [09:04] EriC^^: good call. how will bash fork+exec the library without the library needed to fork it though...? *might* just work. worth a try [09:05] I know it's not strictly ubuntu, but can anyone recommend a good font for putty? [09:06] Eric^^: interesting.. thanks [09:06] iptable: god bless busybox [09:06] nichlas, "good"??? unable to process your subjective parameter [09:06] it worked [09:06] nichlas: if you stop using putty, you will get very nice fonts actually. Loads of good terminal emulators out there. even with semi-transparency [09:06] n [09:07] i was actually puzzled why there is not mv/ls/cp in /sbin [09:07] cfhowlett: i don't ask to get the subjective truth here :) [09:07] now i understand that ubuntu just replaced these with busybox [09:07] michaelr525: yes, no problem at all :) busybox is a lot of commands compiled in to one binary. [09:07] iptable: objective* [09:07] it's a "recovery application" more or less. also used in embedded systems to avoid having so many binaries around [09:08] how to delete the 5th line for a lot of files? [09:08] quickly in one batch [09:08] nichlas: no, there are, really. comping from windows background, it took me 2 years to switch over form putty as I was used to it. Now I don't know how I could have ever used it. [09:08] hello world? [09:09] bq: so in all files in a single directory you want to delete line 5? [09:09] bq: text files? [09:09] iptable: what do you suggest? I've always used putty, so I've never looked around. [09:09] anyone in there? [09:09] iptable: yes text files. several folders [09:09] nichlas: on linux mint I use the provided cinnamon-terminal and mate-terminal, which are very nice. === some1_ is now known as kryptospecht [09:09] bq: directories [09:10] iptable: but if you can do it in one directory. [09:10] what is the full path_to_kernel_sources? [09:10] iptable: ah, but i use different terminals when actually in linux. but unfortunately I'm displaying ubuntu from other systems most of the time. [09:10] bq: find /path/to/dir -type f |while read fn; do sed -i '5d' "${fn}"; done === ande is now known as anderson [09:11] nichlas: why not use the ubuntu terminal then? nice fonts, configurable, semi-transparency, tab support. what more you want? [09:12] nichlas: of course, changing the text/background colours and font size is a must ;) [09:13] nichlas: sorry, I'm assuming you are using ubuntu ON your machine on which you were running putty itself? or is the host windows? [09:13] kk [09:13] ciao [09:13] !list [09:13] marck: 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 ». [09:14] iptable: the host is multiple systems. I don't always get to choose. When i'm on Ubuntu i use the terminal. [09:14] I'm usualy ssh'ing to ubuntu. Was just interrested in if anyone had a favorite terminal font. [09:15] nichlas: ah. so you do end up on windows hosts too... I normally reboot them and boot to my liveUSB as I refuse to use windows for any employer ;) But I see your point. [09:15] iptable: great. thanks [09:15] nichlas: favourite terminal font is different for everyone, although most stick with default [09:15] bq: no probs === root is now known as Guest53135 [09:16] iptable: I'd prefer ubuntu, but booting in my own system is usually not possible for network reasons. When on windows I use Putty-portable. === Guest53135 is now known as fatboy [09:16] nichlas: makes sense [09:16] iptable: are you linux system admin? [09:17] nichlas: although on windows, putty will use windows fonts, so your question is kind of irrelevant for #ubuntu [09:17] bq: solutions architect [09:17] some times i even have to run it through TOR because they thing opening outgoing ports are dangeours. [09:17] wow, sounds great. [09:17] not bad. less stress more money. [09:17] need to be a damn good engineer beofrehand though [09:18] big consulting companies offer that [09:18] iptable: i knew it was kinda irellevant. but i thought many commandline folks would not mind sharing their preferences for fonts. [09:19] nichlas: I know the pain ;) I have an ubuntu box at home running at all times with a GUI allowing me to connect to it (ssh) on port 443. And then I VNC (or equivalent) once I have my ssh connection. from there I feel more "at home" ;). I also carry cygwin with me as a backup === tcpman is now known as Guest33241 [09:23] iptable: how much should I pay to hire you? [09:23] . [09:25] bq: onsite? [09:25] no [09:25] blackstone_: ?

[09:28] yes [09:29] Im learing ,its funning [09:30] bq: no, I do most contracts from home/customer sites if required. [09:32] bq: PM [09:33] Hi guys, I have a problem. I'm unable to connect to my dedicated server from my current IP address. Can access it through ip out of office. Any help would be great === blackstone_ is now known as h7054 [09:35] crito: are you using standard port 22? [09:35] crito: If I understand you, you can connect to your server (at the office) using your internal office network, but can't connect outside the office via the internet [09:36] not a problem with ssh. Yes that is right DJones. [09:37] crito: might be an issue with blocked ports on your office network. Especially if you are not using standard ports. [09:38] crito: So inside your office your connect to the servers internal ip address (Guessing at 192.168.0.x) but outside the office you connect using the external ip of your network, have you set your router to forward ssh requests from the outside world on a specific ssh port to your server? [09:38] my server isn't even letting me access the hosted websites through my browser [09:39] router is set to forward traffic, worked fine until yesterday morning. [09:39] Can the hosting site blacklist my ip address? [09:39] crito: DO you have a fixed ip address? Is there any chance that it could have changed? [09:40] crito: so when on the network you cannot access the server using the EXTERNAL IP of that network? [09:40] we have a static ip [09:41] crito: but you can access it using it's internal IP? [09:42] yes the office ip is unable to access the server, but offsite ip can [09:42] crito: if you use the internal IP of the server from the office, can you access it? or also no? [09:42] its hosted offsite iptable [09:43] crito: so you have a server in location A. You can access it from location B but not location C. All locations have their own external IP and there is no VPN involved. Correct? [09:43] yes [09:43] crito: can you ping the server from the office? can you ssh to it? can you connect on port 443 (https) and/or port 80 (http)? [09:44] crito: answer yes/no to ALL questions [09:44] no ping, traceroute, ssh, port 80 or 443 [09:44] all connections just hang [09:45] crito: ok, so you cannot access the server AT ALL from the office. [09:45] no iptable [09:45] crito: on the server: iptables-save. provide output in pastebin [09:45] crito: also, check if your office router has got any outgoing port/ip blocking or rate-limiting enabled [09:46] will do iptable, thanks, just be a min [09:46] crito: also provide traceroute to server IP from office and from remote location. both tcp-syn and icmp traceroutes. [09:47] crito: once you have all the details, pastebin them to us, stating which one is which. [09:53] can we talk about ubuntuphone here?

[10:01] that will work [10:01] it would still be ugly [10:01] will i lose my files [10:01] will it break things? [10:01] as some files would get missed i guess [10:01] but the system files will work [10:01] correct [10:02] if I open synaptic [10:03] mark all the currently installed files [10:03] and hit mark for reinstallation [10:03] crito: yes [10:03] will it save my PC [10:03] chowndungoof: get the list of packages and use apt-get install --reinstall [10:03] just remove the deny rule (same rule, with -D instead of -I or -A [10:03] chowndungoof: you will still have config files and other files you created that need fixing manually [10:04] chowndungoof: you can use find / -user to get them and fix the ownership [10:04] chowndungoof: you should chown -R user:user . , not ./, to avoid that. you pretty much screwed it up. you could try apt-get reinstall all packages. not sure how well that will work.

[10:23] i sudo chown most of my server to user [10:23] and if I reboot [10:23] i'm saying /sys gets made every boot, not every file on the computer [10:23] will all the tmp files and stuff like /sys/ fix them selfs [10:23] correct [10:23] will my system boot tho [10:23] if most files are owned by user [10:24] who knows [10:24] time to reinstall [10:24] apparently, bindfs "will take an already mounted file system and provide a view of it with whichever uid you'd like" [10:24] so if I know the osx user id I could use bindfs to access the files as that user [10:25] MaxFrames: again, if you can't view it using sudo, nothing will work [10:25] so far I have just tried to view it from the gui [10:25] sudo ls /path/to/it [10:27] sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin [10:27] FUCK [10:27] watch the language here [10:27] I cant sudo stuff anymore [10:28] should my /etc/ folder be owned by root? [10:28] or by user? [10:29] every dir is owned by root [10:29] chowndungoof: on your computer, deploy a virtual machine or LXC container and configure a fresh system. Migrate your live website to it. test, make sure it works. then reinstall hosted server and copy stuff (config etc) over [10:29] not necessarily true, but nothing outside of the user's home should be owned by the user [10:29] so if I sudo chown -R root:root / [10:29] chowndungoof: yeah, i mean every dir in "/" [10:30] chowndungoof: no, read above [10:30] chowndungoof: so you cannot sudo or su to root (I'm guessing you didn't set root password). In this case, 2 options: 1. reinstall the OS, 2. boot from liveCD/liveUSB recovery and try to fix permissions. not sure which one is easier. I would opt for reinstall for safety [10:31] learn from this about safety using sudo, chown, and recursive [10:31] then reinstall [10:31] chowndungoof: some stuff needs to be owned by not root. like /var/www stuff and /var/spool/ etc stuff. all in all, this is *almost* unrecoverable for you. It's a big challange for an experienced sysadmin [10:32] /var/spool and /var/logs are still owned by root [10:32] /var seems untouched [10:32] chowndungoof: what about /etc ? [10:32] hey [10:33] does ubuntu have tcl ? or do i have to install it? [10:33] chowndungoof: those were just examples. there is a lot more. all /bin needs to be root. 99.9% of /etc is root, so should be kind of ok. [10:34] chowndungoof: which dirs did you nuke so far? [10:35] chowndungoof: i'd say get a template of your distro from a fresh install, and run a script that checks every file and sets the permissions as such [10:35] chowndungoof: on my server everything in /etc is root owned, so try to make /bin/ /sbin/ /etc/ root owner (from recovery if you cannot sudo anymore) [10:36] explosive: except that his one is a server so will have more configs than a virgin distro. lots more. [10:36] iptable: yeah but apparently everything in /etc is owned by root, except for a few files who have a differen group [10:36] iptable: i thought way more files weren't owned by root [10:37] iptable: it seems feasible at least, i dont know, what do you think? [10:37] I cant sudo anymore [10:37] how do I fix that to start [10:37] explosive: same here, but apparently on a server only a few would be. only on my asterisk box. not on my webserver though. [10:37] explosive: looks like on desktop it's a different story [10:37] chowndungoof: /bin, /sbin/ /etc/ /boot/ /lib /lib64/ /mnt/ /root/ /sys/ are ROOT OWNED. [10:37] chowndungoof: so these are easily fixed [10:38] I cannot sudo chown right now [10:38] how do I get Sudo powers back first? [10:38] recovery mode [10:38] chowndungoof: IF you nuked dirs other than the ones I just mentioned, you ARE screwed as they have a mix of ownerships [10:39] Will I be able to boot? [10:39] chowndungoof: I already told you 3 times. recovery mode. or boot liveCD/liveUSB [10:39] iptable: it was a chown -R / [10:39] chowndungoof: boot lto liveCD for recovery [10:39] what LiveCD should I use [10:39] chowndungoof: there's also the issue of suid, once you chown it, if you set it to root it wont have the suid set anymore [10:39] Ben64: but he cancelled it half way and chown would be more or less alphabetical, just like rm -rf / (DO NOT EXECUTE) [10:39] chowndungoof: ubuntu live CD? [10:39] iptable: then he did another chown -R / [10:39] i say reinstall [10:40] Ben64: same here. said that 3 times to him too [10:40] not so good at listening then i guess [10:40] chowndungoof: ^^ ^^ reinstall. only true way to fix it. [10:40] kk going to power off and liveCD and will be back in a bit [10:40] My hard drive is encrypted [10:40] Ben64: yup, in panic [10:40] does ubuntu have TCL on it? [10:40] so If I cannot boot back in what do I do to reinstall savely [10:40] chowndungoof: you know the password? then you can do it. [10:41] I know the password [10:41] I just don tknow how to mount it or anything [10:41] chowndungoof: so you can mount encrypted drives [10:41] and im terrified of locking away all my stuff [10:41] chowndungoof: that you already did [10:41] okay I will be back shortly [10:41] wish me luck guys [10:42] luck [10:42] * iptable goes to do some work [10:43] <|MaxFrames|> re [10:43] <|MaxFrames|> I have made progress, in the terminal I *can* enumerate the directory contents with sudo ls [10:43] <|MaxFrames|> and I *can* copy single files to the usb hdd [10:43] <|MaxFrames|> but I cannot seem to copy *all* files [10:43] cp -R [10:43] <|MaxFrames|> -R also didn't work [10:44] <|MaxFrames|> the command I tried is this: [10:44] how did it "not work" [10:44] <|MaxFrames|> cannot find the file(s) specified === derk0pf|NA is now known as derk0pf [10:45] Hi [10:45] <|MaxFrames|> sudo cp [-R] [user directory path on the osx drive]/*.* [path to the usb drive] [10:45] <|MaxFrames|> with or without -R, same result [10:45] * [10:45] *.* ?? just use * [10:45] <|MaxFrames|> without -R it didn't work, let me try that with -R [10:45] or use rsync [10:46] |MaxFrames|: that won't actually copy all files, the *.* [10:46] ^ [10:46] that only copies files with a . in the filename [10:47] and even then, that will probably also skip hidden files (those where the first character in the filename is '.')

[11:18] Hello [11:18] is there any way of finding out how to make the new versions none hybrid [11:18] DJones, I'm confused. "hybrid" meaning ... what? [11:18] what does network manager use as host name to identify itself to the network? [11:18] cfhowlett: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/06/ubuntu-switched-to-hybrid-disc-images.html [11:18] delt: the machines hostname [11:18] is it the file system thets the problem? [11:18] DJones, thank you. reading [11:18] ikonia: as set by the command 'hostname'? [11:18] that doesn't work :/ [11:19] delt: whatever your machines hostname is [11:19] delt: it's actually calling dhclient, and dhclients default is to use the machines hostname [11:19] ikonia: i disconnedted, set the hostname to something else with 'hostname', then reconnected, it still used the old name [11:19] delt: hostname will not work like that [11:20] delt: you need to set the hostname properly, not just use the hostname command [11:20] so, from a livecd for instance... without rebooting? [11:20] you can't set the livecd hostname realistically [11:20] technically you can - but realistically not practical [11:21] ah ok... :/ [11:21] just out of curiosity, how would one go about doing that? [11:22] edit /etc/dhclient.conf or something like that? [11:23] delt: yeah, thats a good option [11:24] chowndungoof: still there? [11:25] http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/ [11:25] it seems that ubuntu does not contain a 64-bit mit-scheme ? [11:25] ikonia: i want to understand how this works. any tutorial / webpage on this? (immediate hostname, no confg files / reboot) ? [11:26] Hello everyone [11:26] hello :> [11:26] few questions, is there anyone with AMD R9 2xx graphic card & proprietary drivers using Ubuntu with Unity? How are they working together? [11:27] gansteed: seems that way. Ubuntu is multiarch these days though, so you can just install and run it in your 64-bit install if thats all you need. === sjefskoder is now known as Guest68218 === |MaxFrames| is now known as MaxFrames [11:28] Wow, mounting an LVM drive is a right pain in the wotsit [11:29] MaxFrames: it's straightforward [11:30] Pici: yeah, I should compile it myself. [11:30] Marezz: install 14.04 and see for yourself [11:30] MacroMan: what? lvm is the win [11:31] OpenTokix, Just find it odd that Ubuntu can boot and use an LVM drive, but to mount a secondary lvm drive I have to install lvm2 [11:32] MacroMan: yes, ofc. [11:33] MacroMan: if you can boot from an lvm disk - you don't have to install anything [11:35] ikonia: no, he is correct - to handle the lv's and vg's you need to install lvm2 [11:35] OpenTokix: right, but if he can boot and mount an lvm disk - it's already there [11:36] ikonia: Actually no - i have had the problem he is talking about. - you can mount it, but dont do anything like activate it - it is kinda weird actually. - Did not inspect it further. [11:36] ikonia: I think for th boot, it is included in the initrd [11:36] OpenTokix: you can't mount a non-active volume [11:36] But no userspace tools [11:36] I clicked the "power off drive" button in Disks utility for a USB drive, and now when I plug the drive back in there is nothing mounted... how can I undo that action? [11:36] Not sure how it is done [11:40] hi again, is there a way to include a file in grub.cfg ? [11:44] What was the security website to download the LTS kernels as deb? [11:45] it's the repo in your sources.list [11:45] so it depends which repo mirror your using [11:47] why is my system telling me I can't access /data as the ubuntu user when I've chown'd the dir to ubuntu and opened up all permissions to the world? [11:47] floatmastaflex: show us the permissions in a pastebin [11:48] Hello folks! [11:48] floatmastaflex: And if it's really /some/longer/path/to/data then you must make sure the ubuntu user also has execute access to each directory component === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [11:49] hola [11:49] ikonia drwxrwxrwx 4 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Dec 9 09:09 data [11:49] Ubuntu bug 4096 in meld (Ubuntu) "meld: merge new debian version" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/4096 [11:49] hi [11:49] literally 777 on /data [11:49] I'm trying to configure my network for IPv6. I've setup my router for stateful DHCPv6. However, Ubuntu seems to change the DUID, can I do something to prevent this?

[11:50] -bash: cd: /data: Permission denied [11:51] actually, when i do ls -la I get this: [11:51] Hello , I have a problem with my wifi adapter Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter ( rev 01) , someone can give me a hand?

[11:53] digitsm: How did you try it? [11:53] floatmastaflex: why are you trying to mount 2 device files to 1 mount point [11:54] floatmastaflex: why are you mounting devices files rather than partitions ? [11:54] OpenTokix, I have CPU Freq monitor plugin on my XFCE panel [11:54] ayuda mi wifi no anda alguien que me pueda dar una mano [11:54] And I can see what freq the cpu is using now [11:55] digitsm: yes, but did you do something that requeired lots of cpu work? [11:55] Help my wifi does not walk someone who can give me a hand [11:55] digitsm: a chatclient is not using much cpu [11:55] Isn't there any newer kernel than 3.2 for "precise"? [11:55] ikonia it shouldn't matter, but I needed a quick way to use all the space provided by both epheremeral disks as if they were a single dir (AWS) [11:55] digitsm: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ <-- you can adjust values for the cpufreq here. [11:55] floatmastaflex: it does matter [11:55] bugtraq: wifi doesn't walk, it flies :D Sorry, I just had to. [11:55] ikonia tell me how it matters [11:55] bugtraq: what is the wifi chipset? lsusb to find out. [11:56] OpenTokix, After some work (many open firefox tabs, etc) cpu temperature goes up, until some point when the max cpu freq gets limited [11:56] floatmastaflex: because you don't mount multiple disks to one mount point [11:56] the file system will not be aware of spanning the two disks [11:56] digitsm: ok, maybe you have cooling problems? [11:56] ikonia this does not matter to me in this case [11:56] unless using btrfs, which can be aware or spanning across 2 disks. [11:56] i literally have no reason to care about this [11:56] floatmastaflex: it does matter [11:56] no [11:57] it doesn't matter for my application [11:57] floatmastaflex: I'm not fully aware of mhddfs so can't give you specifics [11:57] OpenTokix, Hmmm, in that case after my laptop getting cool for some time, max cpu freq must go up again [11:57] OpenTokix, But it doesn't [11:57] floatmastaflex: mhddfs seems to suggest you mount directories, NOT device files [11:58] OpenTokix, I feel after max freq getting limited, it stuck in that situation for ever [11:58] floatmastaflex: you are mounting devices, not partitions, and looking at the docs you don't mount disks/devices with it, you mount already mounted directories [11:58] floatmastaflex: so I think it does matter [11:58] does anybody know a good documentation webpage for creating a debian package from a tarball file? [11:58] <[Arab]> Any geeky teen boys here who are interested? lol [11:58] rfxchlx: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ is a good place to start [11:58] [Arab]: not in this channel please [11:59] <[Arab]> ikonia: lol [11:59] ikonia i am glad you told me that. it definitely solved my issue [11:59] [Arab]: not laughing [11:59] digitsm: I would start by adjusting settings for the governor, and if its emergency scaling due to heat, you have problems with your hardware and its not a software problem [11:59] floatmastaflex: really ? [11:59] no [11:59] [Arab], take that mess elsewhere [11:59] <[Arab]> cfhowlett: ok fine [11:59] floatmastaflex: try it with directories rather than device files [11:59] <[Arab]> lol [11:59] floatmastaflex: see if iactually works [11:59] bugtraq: answered in PM. In short, that chip does not work. [12:00] OpenTokix, How could I change my default governor from "ondemand" to "performance"? [12:00] digitsm: yes [12:00] OpenTokix, yes what? [12:01] digitsm: yes performance [12:01] OpenTokix, but how? [12:01] with what command? [12:01] Q: can i use UUID instead of (hdx,y) in this Grub2 Menu Entry loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile [12:01] Also, can I use UUID instead of the (hdx,y) format ? I will be moving alot of my harddrives around now and want a way to make booting OS's and iso's easier [12:01] or setting? [12:01] echo foo > /path/to/bar [12:01] as root [12:02] OpenTokix: Thats not very helpful... if you don't know, you can just say that. [12:02] OpenTokix, OK thanks. I will do remaining things with Google's help [12:03] Pici: I know perfectly well how to, but if he cant navigate the proc filesystem by himself, he should not change values there. - Some sanitation in the recommendations. [12:03] Pici: But I guess you want me to give some sudo paste-item here [12:04] MichaelHabib: yes. inux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=71f08932-5b0d-41b6-9738-1278769b9619 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [12:04] OpenTokix, If I could disable intel speed-step and set cpu freq to max for all time it would be great [12:04] But I think it's not possbile [12:04] Does Unsupported mean releases are wiped from mirrors? [12:04] MichaelHabib: you need a search first. search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 71f08932-5b0d-41b6-9738-1278769b9619 [12:05] digitsm: yes, you change it to performance, or just disable speedsteop in bio s [12:05] bios [12:05] digitsm: it would not be great. it would shorten the lifespan of your CPU and if using a laptop, reduce battery life [12:06] hi [12:06] digitsm: but if you want it, as OpenTokix said, it's a BIOS option [12:06] OpenTokix, I tried disabling speed-step in bios, but then it said if I disable speed-step, the bios will set cpu-freq to min!!! [12:06] No way to set it to max! [12:07] iptable: is this the correct format ? search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 0000000000 or should it be set=root=uuid=0000000 at the end ? [12:07] ikonia it's because I mounted the super dir as root [12:08] so magical [12:08] P.S. I have an old Dell Latitude D-830 laptop [12:08] hi [12:11] ... [12:11] can i ask?

[12:22] Personally, I prefer to add groups to the sudoers file, so I don't need to muck around in there any more than necessary, [12:23] iptable: np, and ty for your help this far, enjoy ;) [12:23] cheers, no worries :) [12:23] santhosh: srt idk about that, but if you want to add users to your sistem you may want to use command: adduser ro so [12:24] or* so [12:26] Hi. Can anyone suggest how to convert single flac file to mp3 (not flac+cue)? [12:27] crazydiamond: soundconverter is a small converter coming with an ui [12:27] #lsit [12:28] crazydiamond, avconv [12:28] crazydiamond, or audacity ... [12:30] Does Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 hav ads in any way and does it gather data about its user? [12:30] *have [12:30] ive never seen ads [12:31] fidel_, cfhowlett thanks! [12:31] Marezz: it does not have adverts [12:31] apart from the web, of course ;) [12:31] crazydiamond, happy2help [12:31] can anyone recommend a good anominizer [12:32] It wont show any ads in that search thingy/menu/lense or what its called? [12:32] Marezz, "lens" [12:32] Why can't I use the /admin command? I see it in the ubuntu club... Forgive my ignorance [12:32] Sorry, lens :) [12:33] veto: What would you expect that command to do? [12:33] Marezz, only the unity interface uses lenses. you could use any number of alternates: xfce4, lxde, kde, gnome being the most readily available [12:33] Just test? [12:33] thats not adverts though either [12:33] thats search recommendations based on your search [12:34] Pici:I thick it would show some message, but actually it shows nothing [12:35] cfhowlett, thanks. So you recommend gnome flavor? [12:35] veto: I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with this command. Is it something that you've used on Ubuntu before? What information did you get previously? [12:36] Marezz, I don't but only because ubuntustudio uses xfce4 instead. they are easy to test and have full-blown official ubuntu releases. sudo apt-get install kde-plasma xfde4 lxde (not sure how to get gnome) [12:37] Marezz, if you have a preference for any of them, consider installing the full distro [12:37] *xfce4* not xfde4 [12:38] Marezz: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [12:38] Pici:No... I see that command in the ubuntu bbs for new hand and I just want to test what I'll get [12:39] Pici:Anyway, thank you~ [12:39] * cfhowlett wishes there were standardization of package names ... [12:39] cfhowlett, once again thanks, I will have that in mind, I am currently searching a distro and a DE that agrees well with games and my AMD R9 270X graphic card [12:40] hey guys, silly boot questoin: i have a windows 8 partition that i kept while installing ubuntu. it came up initially on grub but now its gone... (there is still the windows security boot option, but then it says "image not found" [12:40] any ideas? [12:40] Marezz: well, try not to use DE that use compiz -.- [12:41] Marezz, amd ... you'll find that of the big 3 = intel, nvidia, amd = AMD is still, sadly, the least linux-friendly. [12:41] ive heard windows 8 especially doesnt play well with machines with other OSes installed... i cant remember the trick but you need to convince it that its the primary partition [12:41] Chuck_Norris; hehehe, speaking from experience? :) [12:41] Marezz: xD yep [12:41] tmofee: mmh, ok. how would i go about doing that? i still want to use ubuntu mainly though... === sjefskoder is now known as Guest36913 [12:42] do you have a spare hard disc you could install??? personally find it easier to install an OS on each disc and when booting just select via BIOS [12:42] tmofee: thats not ideal for a laptop though :/ [12:43] ahh laptop, sorry.. yeah... hmmmm give me a few seconds i see if i can find anything online [12:44] Marezz: and... last thougt try SteamOS :p they got some good overall improvements [12:45] http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-8-ubuntu.html im not too sure how well this is.. personally i HATE all the partition stuff .. especially when you introduce ubuntu into the mix... so headachey ;) [12:45] i used to run mac os/win7/ and lubuntu on my macbook air.. i ended up wiping it recently and just sharing between 7 and mac lol [12:52] hi guys. i want to start a vnc connection over the internet. if I want to access the vnc server from my local network I just need to connect to local.ip.address:displaynumber (e.g. 192.168.0.2:1). What do I need to do in order to connect to it over my online ip address? i tried with both [ipaddress]:1 and with [ipaddress]:5900 but neither worked [12:53] set up a port forward? [12:53] would it be port 5900? [12:53] yeah [12:53] i think [12:53] will try that, thanks [12:57] hi people, I have installed in the additional drivers section my nvidia driver, and now after rebooting I do not have that xubuntu logo with that animated circle anymore. Is there a way how to restore that? [13:03] is there a page which lists mirrors for http://archive.ubuntu.com? === ubuntu is now known as Guest21965 [13:06] OpenTokix, Hello again. I disable speed-step and now freq of cpu of my laptop is always on 2.19GHz [13:07] littlebit: unfortunately Nvidia doesn't support KMS, which means no fancy stuff while booting [13:07] Okitain: ah ok [13:08] And it got even cooler! Which is weird. I am running mprime CPU stress test now the cpu temp doesn't go upper than 55 degree Celsius. [13:09] But when speedstep technology was enabled, temp could go up to 70 degree under load [13:09] I don't understand why intel even implemented speedstep in my cpu! [13:09] it is likely the temperatures are not correctly being reported === ARMEN_ is now known as EREVAN [13:10] Ben64, I get the temp using "Sensors" command [13:10] digitsm: ok? [13:11] Ben64, I think so === gimnazjum is now known as erroreus [13:11] digitsm: i don't see how that contradicts what i said [13:12] Ben64, I am not sure speedstep is only for reducing heat, but more for reducing power consumption by lowering voltage [13:12] digitsm: its both [13:13] However it can be done by using "nop" assembly codes too, which OS does automatically when idel [13:13] *idle [13:13] I have never seen so many people leaving the windows OS, and installing linux in these times.. WOW [13:13] digitsm: not the same at all === Kryxo is now known as Kryptron [13:14] Ben64, I have a Dell Latitude D830, with Intel T7500, with 2.2GHz at max. Now it's at 2.19GHz, speedstep is off, and it is cool and running very smooth === Silenced is now known as Silenced|examON [13:15] digitsm: cool.. [13:15] Ben64, There is something else about my laptop too. My fan always turns at highest speed. Because my fan is now connected to 5v DC after my motherboard got repaired after a failure [13:16] i need win os for my games, but my two older machines run lubuntu... i knew they couldnt handle win 7 and they shouldnt stop being used anymore just because theyre old [13:16] I'm running NetRunner 14 on a Dell Optiplex 7010, and it's running great... I did have PC-BSD 10.1 installed on it. [13:17] just for shits and giggles, as part of my work we have these ancient pentiums for a contract with 128 MB of ram that still run a basic software with nt 4.0 ... i managed to get damn small linux running on it, [13:17] So fan speed chipset (which increases fan speed in case of increased heat/load) is useless. So even at highest frequencies, my fan turns at highest speed and so cpu keeps cool [13:17] But it got noisy! [13:18] digitsm: cool? try to keep on topic here though. if you'd like to chat, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [13:19] Okitain: but how come do I have better performance when playing an mkv file with vlc with the nvidia drivers than the nouveau? [13:20] Ben64, I was talking about cpu freq of my laptop. First I thought it's ubuntu's fault. Now I turned speedstep and found that it's more about my cpu/bios/heat-exhausting [13:20] littlebit: because of vdpau and hardware acceleration [13:20] It was not offtopic [13:20] But anyway thanks [13:21] i think he was talking about me being off topic :P [13:22] digitsm: 4 lines about how you think its better to have a basic cpu functionality disabled and how you have your fan macgyver'd is not really related to ubuntu at all [13:22] Ben64, OK [13:23] Ben64, The only strange thing was how turning off speedstep could make things cooler. It's weird for me [13:24] Ben64, But sorry for being too chatty [13:24] Anyway thanks all for your helps [13:25] digitsm: back to my original point -- it is likely the temperatures are not correctly being reported [13:25] Ben64, How could I know the correct temps? [13:25] by physically measuring the cpu [13:26] Ben64, It's impossible [13:26] pretty much, yep. don't trust what software says [13:27] Ben64: Hmm, Thanks === tobi_ is now known as zenbit === debian is now known as Guest98260 [13:38] Hi guys, just flushed the iptables and my ssh connection died. now can't connect. Any ideas? [13:40] Is anyone who knows good the program protel? === jeremy_ is now known as Guest36986 [13:51] how can i trigger a script to run when i connect/disconnect hardware, like my AC adaper or my monitor? [13:52] from dmesg [13:52] firmware: agent aborted loading tiacx100c11 (not found?) [13:52] so where does "it " look for firmware ? [13:56] hey guys, does anybody knows if Ubuntu Year End Hack Days are running?? at the irc channels there is not any activity, anyone knows something? [13:59] hi [14:05] hey all, ive dual boot installed ubuntu alongside win 8 and i have all the partitions, but win8 doesnt come up on grub [14:05] what do? [14:06] yea, u might have problems with that [14:06] chrisss123456: are you in the ubuntu installation right now? [14:06] win 8 is a bit different to 7 [14:07] explosive: yes. when i reboot and grub shows up, i see the windows recovery option, but that also bugs out and says "disk image not found" [14:07] chrisss123456: ok type sudo parted -l and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [14:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9442120/ [14:09] explosive: partition 4 contains the win8 os [14:09] hi, does firefox html5 + vdpau work (amd open source drivers)? [14:09] chrisss123456: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt [14:09] can scp send multiple files at once? [14:09] i.e, 2 uploads simultaneously [14:10] or 3 or 4.. === Rory is now known as violentacrez [14:10] explosive: ooh it says: "mount: can't find /dev/sda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [14:10] chrisss123456: mind the space between sda6 and /mnt [14:10] explosive: ah. [14:10] explosive: done. [14:10] m1dnight_: yes [14:11] chrisss123456: type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot/efi [14:11] explosive: done. [14:11] chrisss123456: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [14:11] type away :) [14:12] explosive: done :) [14:12] chrisss123456: sudo chroot /mnt [14:12] explosive: done :) [14:13] chrisss123456: update-grub [14:13] windows 8 should have a .efi file that loads it up called bootmgfw.efi [14:13] explosive: ok :) working... [14:13] is it done? [14:14] iirc you should disable quickboot too, on windows 8, correct me if i'm wrong [14:14] chrisss123456: did it say anything about the windows 8 loader? [14:15] explosive: nope. m1dnight_: thanks :) how do i do that?

[14:16] also, explosive what about the boot-repair tool? it always solved my issues.. [14:16] not sure though, havent been following the entire conversation [14:16] chrisss123456: if you type ls /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot do you see a bootmgfw.efi file? [14:17] explosive: still while under root? [14:17] i see nothing [14:17] chrisss123456: sorry, ls /boot/efi/EFI... [14:18] explosive: yes i see one :) [14:19] hi everyone [14:19] chrisss123456: ok, out of curiosity, what's the output of efibootmgr -v ? === violentacrez is now known as Rory [14:19] explosive: ha. gotta paste that. what does it do? [14:19] are all /etc/default files generated after installation, or are they included in the package? [14:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9442216/ [14:21] chrisss123456: it shows the entries in the boot manager [14:22] chrisss123456: grub isn't picking up the windows .efi file for some reason [14:22] chrisss123456: and i think you're missing some files, i'd try to reinstall grub, if you want [14:23] explosive: mmh :( i tried to reinstall grub. should i do it from root though? i hadnt before [14:23] chrisss123456: is it a 64bit machine? [14:23] explosive: yes [14:24] i forgot my root password .. how do i change it ? for some reason /etc/passwd is unchanged after i passwd ...

[14:39] hey [14:39] lol you cant?? [14:39] oops wrong chat [14:40] can anyone of you give me a hint what to disable so that no service or anything in Ubuntu 14.04 does any communication to the outside world while having just the desktop and firefox running? [14:41] Mathis: unplug the internet [14:41] good. next point? [14:41] or do you want firefox to connect? [14:41] I wanted to create some kind of kiosk client [14:41] just firefox showing one website, nothing else [14:42] Mathis, configure your router: one url allowed [14:42] How long does it take to mount a floppy O_o [14:42] cannot configure outgoing traffic [14:42] only incoming [14:42] GeekDude: five seconds? [14:42] well then I must've done something wrong [14:43] wait, also cannot configure incoming traffic [14:43] Mathis: if you can't control the in/out traffic at all, then you can't achieve your goal [14:43] I am using a UMTS stick for connecting to the internet [14:44] teward: I want to control it by shutting down the services which are responsible for that unwanted traffic [14:45] Mathis: you'd have to hunt and peck at the services, some of which are auto-updates, and some which will likely require hacking away at the core software set to remove the functionality. Have you even identified the services which are causing the unwanted traffic? [14:45] no, not yet [14:45] Mathis: that's your first step [14:45] thought there is an official list [14:46] Mathis, WAY too many variables to make a standard list. check your services [14:46] its a default installation, so there are nearly no variables [14:46] Mathis: there's an infinite number of variables, and it's impossible to make a standard list, that's why i said you have to hunt and peck to find the services generating the traffic [14:47] I didnt install anything beside the default image [14:47] Mathis: you might also want to look at this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/07/create-ubuntu-kiosk [14:47] cool, thanks :-) [14:47] neither of the guides on that link though are for the faint hearted [14:48] http://thepcspy.com/read/converting-ubuntu-desktop-to-kiosk/ is probably what you want, going from Desktop to Kiosk [14:48] Mathis: back up critical data first, though - these things might explode [14:48] I have no critical data on my client [14:49] Mathis: note though the same page says it's probably better to start with Server and build up [14:49] rather than Desktop and cut away at it [14:49] Mathis:http://thepcspy.com/read/building-a-kiosk-computer-ubuntu-1404-chrome/is a from-scratch method though [14:50] Mathis: either method is not for the faint of heart and will take some time and configuration === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as J^D_is_coming_so === J^D_is_coming_so is now known as Joshua^Dunamis [14:51] Hey === Gaben is now known as Rory [14:52] teward: I think, I am fine with my current kiosk mode, but thanks :-) [14:53] i've just recently installed Ubuntu GNOME 3.14 in my laptop, and after installing Numix Project's elegance-colors theme, my X server just.. broke [14:54] There are no logs, anywhere.

[15:34] so I went from an amd card to an nvidia, installed the drivers okay... Xrandr claims i'm at 1920x1080 but all the test is MASSIVE [15:34] /join #openstack-meeting-alt [15:35] Greping dpkg -l to filter out the intel video drivers returned xserver-xorg-video-intel. Should I reinstall that? also, if it was a driver issue, wouldn't it break lightdm too? [15:35] Is it normal to have 20 running pids of Viber? [15:36] Tigerken, no. [15:37] That's what I thought... :D [15:37] Killall the vibers. [15:37] (quite literally) [15:38] Chuck_Norris, that command said "Kernel driver in use: i915", greping dpkg -l returned the package xserver-xorg-video-intel [15:38] also, if it was a driver issue, wouldn't it break lightdm too? [15:39] But that's when I look at htop.. when I do "ps aux | grep viber" there's only 1 pid === hades is now known as Guest50034 [15:39] DemHydraz: edit "/etc/default/grub" and remove "quiet splash" from: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= so it will be: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" and reboot to and see where it's hang or if there is any problems [15:40] DemHydraz: then you could try some graphic PPA to see if solve the problem, or upgrading the kernel 3.18 just came out -.- [15:40] I WANT TO HAVE RIGHT CLICK OPEN TERMINAL WHY ISNT IT THERE [15:40] if that is the problem [15:40] How do I know of my wifi driver is installed while I'm connected through eth0? unplug the cable? boohiss [15:40] Alright.

[15:50] is there some way to find out if my wifi driver (b43 firmware) is installed while I'm using eth0? Other than disco cat 6?

[17:16] gomari: i'm gonna guess you mean the Linux kernel's support for NTFS - the Windows file system? [17:16] Yup [17:16] gomari: never had any speed issues before. [17:16] No it was too slow [17:17] standard logic applies though, if you're using NTFS with Linux - maybe you're doing it wrong. [17:17] gomari: well unless you have any metric to quantify this claim, all we'll have is your word against mine :) [17:17] How does one set the Java library path globally without having to launch each application from the command line? I'm trying to use the svn plugin for Eclipse, but the native libraries are not in the expected location. [17:17] hey all. I've recently purchased a nice new shiny hp envy laptop [17:18] the fans seem to be on a lot more on ubuntu than on windows [17:18] Zerock|Work: pretty sure establishing environment variables is a step 1 of installing a java setup, perhaps find some java channels and ask some java devs for advice [17:18] hurray! [17:18] and the box isn't working very hard [17:18] Sure there is a metric it's the windows speed vs Ubuntu speed [17:18] are there any nice apps that can help me figure wich fan is running and have it turned down? [17:18] gomari: i'm talking about tangible proof, not your say-so :) [17:19] !fan maybe | triss [17:19] daftykins: Well if the path is not set by default, then the software is incorrectly packaged. There should not be software that installs to an arbitrary location that does not comply with the software it intends to work with. [17:19] And asuming u r right and has no issues why would be wrong to install Ubuntu to a ntfs partion? [17:20] Zerock|Work: maybe you've yet to log out and in? :) who knows. you've not mentioned what you've installed in much detail, still say a developer would be better to ask than a general OS channel [17:20] gomari: you actually can't install Ubuntu on an NTFS partition. [17:20] I think i just did [17:21] gomari: nope. [17:21] not possible [17:21] can't execute files on ntfs, afaik [17:21] unless you're talking WUBI, then i shall commence laughter immediately [17:21] m^ [17:22] How can i confirm my root partion type from ubuntu then? [17:22] gomari: explain how you installed first, if it was WUBI (the installer from within Windows) then all bets are off [17:23] It was Ubuntu 12 from and i intalled it from windows not from live cd [17:23] gomari: show the output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l" (small L at the end) in a pastebin [17:23] Hey, I have a quite annoying problem. I am using a Logitech Ultrathin Mouse (T630) on Bluetooth and from time to time sequences of numbers 6 7 or 3 gets spammed like a key was stuck. When I turn the mouse off the spamming stops. Im running Ubuntu 14.10 and Gnome Shell. I wondered if anyone in here have had a similar problem and might direct me how to solve it ? [17:23] gomari: so its a wubi install inside windows? [17:23] gomari: yeah so that's WUBI, an absolutely horrific idea [17:24] gomari: you are lucky it got that old and should not blame slow speeds at all with wubi. if you want better ubuntu performance make a real install. [17:24] gomari: so truthfully, the original question should've been "how is performance with WUBI?" not performance with NTFS. the answer to that would've been "oh dear Tux don't ever use WUBI! it's an abomination!" [17:25] I have a strange issue with font corruption. Happened a few times with no trigger I'm aware of [17:25] http://ultraimg.com/image/5Mu4 [17:25] look at the e [17:25] A reboot fixes it [17:25] But it keeps happening [17:36] hello; so apparently kernel 3.18 adds support for focaltec touchpads, and indeed /proc/bus/input/devices reports that it's now being recognized as a focaltec touchpad [17:36] unfortunately it mentions that it's in ps/2 mouse emulation mode; i'd like for it not to be, so that i can toggle it on and off and use multitouch gestures with it [17:36] how do i go about configuring it? [17:43] diphtherial: there is a really long thread at bug 1372609 might find something there [17:44] bug 1372609 in linux (Ubuntu) "Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1372609 [17:45] Hi, all! Remember my problems with the SD card not working right? I've just tried to research the problem, and I'm not getting anywhere, so I thought you might help. [17:45] UTL: the one we pronounced dead? [17:45] trism: ah, yes, that thread's been my bible lately [17:46] the gist of it is that someone made a kernel patch, but 3.18 includes the change they made afaik [17:46] (i actually have a ux303ln, currently trying to overcome a host of issues) [17:48] daftykins, I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm talking about the problems with the SD card writing. I've got errors like "end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector #" and "mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt." and "mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 61057, nr 1024, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xc00" [17:48] UTL: ah, just confusing a different user, don't worry. [17:49] so im using xrandr to set my dpi to 96, but the text isn't getting any smaller [17:49] :\ [17:49] diphtherial, You want to be aware that except for small exceptions packages outside the repos or releases are not really supported here [17:50] bubbasaures: i'm confused; is the main kernel release of 3.18 not supported? [17:50] that's what i installed this morning, as it includes the support that that patch added [17:50] diphtherial: no that's not a kernel version in any stable release. [17:51] diphtherial, Not in any release is all, just making sure you know the channel norm, people do help if that is the only option or just care. [17:51] LinuxGold [17:51] daftykins, bubbasaures: ah, thanks for letting me know. i am new here, obviously :) [17:52] yes? [17:52] i try doing this and this install but [17:52] Like I've said before, it doesn't happen to Windows. I've found out that one reason might be an old laptop, but I have a fairly new laptop I got from Walmart this year, running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, with a built-in SDXC card slot [17:52] generally speaking, if you want to configure a peripheral, is there a central place to do it or does it vary by driver? [17:52] i have this gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) [17:52] (let's constrain the discussion to input devices, specifically mice/touchpads, if possible) [17:52] diphtherial, No problem, it is all good. ;) [17:52] and i try to configure something and i see error something like this libpq++.h [17:53] so Im having a problem where my dpi shows as 96 but is clearly much larger [17:54] asher1: can you put in pastebin? [17:54] yes i can [17:54] to make it easier | pastebinit (make sure you install pastebinit) [17:54] and give me the url [17:54] ok [17:54] 3/4 of my terminal are covered with these errors about mmc0. What do I do?!? [17:54] DF3D2, How about a screen shot. [17:54] UTL: take the card out? 0o [17:55] bubbasaures, all my text is clearly around 300 DPI [17:55] yet all the command line commands show it as 96 [17:55] I tried to kill the transferring process, but it wouldn't kill, so I just ejected. [17:55] LinuxGold [17:56] http://pastebin.com/kQeuB9P8 [17:56] Do I wait? [17:56] apt-get install libpq5 [17:56] thanks [17:57] DF3D2, You're description just needs way more to be helped by the channel. Like release, desktop, any possible cause and effect, was it ever normal....etc [17:57] apt-get install libpq-dev [17:58] I put the card back in. It hasn't shown me the SD card icon on the Unity panel, yet. [17:58] bubbasaures, it was caused by switching from AMD binary driver to Linux binary driver. [17:58] It's like the process is running in the background. [17:58] UTL: dmesg, and put SD card in and make sure it is recognized. [17:59] It was fixed by running xrandr --dpi 96 , but then on reboot that command no longer works [17:59] DF3D2, Good info for the channel, I was just trying to get you to post enough for help. === isantop is now known as isantop-pc [17:59] Got a timeout error and this: "mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card" [17:59] You know what it seems to be some issue with Lightdm [17:59] I found this: [18:00] What's "error -110"? [18:00] linuxgold this for me what you write now? [18:00] ASHER1: apt-get libpq-dev try it [18:00] Run gksudo gedit, open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add a parameter under [SeatDefaults] section: [18:00] xserver-command=X -dpi 90 [18:00] ok i try [18:00] and that actually sticks on reboot [18:01] it's very odd that xrandr --dpi 96 worked once, and then never again [18:01] ok it done [18:01] but i see error [18:01] ok, try recompile again [18:01] what error? from apt-get?

[18:23] ASHER1: this is not "run the program" that is "compiling the program" [18:24] ASHER1: and you need to get to know what that program needs to be installed on the system. and then you need to get all that stuff. and like i told you last time that program is very very very old and its very difficult to get all the old stuff [18:25] :\ ok [18:25] f0urh1r3: What error message do you get?

[18:31] i want install this my i think if this possible install something like this without postsql [18:31] ASHER1: do you really need mod.chanfix? are you really sure?

[19:05] What's the pkg name for installing mate? [19:05] isantop: it says sudo: unmount: command not found [19:05] bubbasaures: this isn't a particularly old computer either [19:05] marcel_: make there's no "n" in there. Just umount [19:06] isantop: it says not mounted now [19:07] You should be fine to remove it, then. If it's not mounted, then there shouldn't be any more write operations pending to the drive. [19:07] mikubuntu, I would use a conky or htop to tell. My concern is that all you answers and questions are rather empty of info for the channel to help you is all. [19:07] marcel_: You might reboot, too. It shouldn't be necessary to run any of the mount commands manually. [19:07] your* [19:08] isantop: ok. but im still a bit confused. why does it show up in the explorer when its not mounted? is this usual? [19:08] bubbasaures: whats a conky or htop ? [19:08] Its saying it copied to my usb but when I look in that usb nothing is there [19:08] Yeah, If the drive is connected, it will show up in that list on the right so that you can click it and open it. [19:09] mikubuntu, Easily found on the web, you have to be careful you rely on the channel for any info. Both will show processes. [19:10] !htop | mikubuntu [19:11] mikubuntu, here is a htop link, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/using-htop-to-monitor-system-processes-on-linux/?PageSpeed=noscript [19:11] how can I create an alias on the fly? like: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade [19:11] bubbasaures: k i'll check it out [19:11] can I add it to my bash with an alias in a single line? [19:12] mikubuntu, Cool, hope we can get you working as you want. ;) [19:12] isantop: ok that makes sense. another question: under devices it show a lot of things which im unsure about why it is displayed there or what it means: "OEM" "ROOT-A" "ROOT-A" "EFI-SYSTEM" "EFI" "34 GB VOLUME". Is this supposed to look like this? [19:13] I see that there's a ubuntu-mate.org, but they only have isos. Is there a way to install mate on this server? [19:13] johnfg, What release is this? [19:14] johnfg: yes.. its in the repos, or at the mate site, you can read about adding the ppa's to get *exactly* what is in the mate 14.04 version [19:14] 14.10 [19:14] !info mate-desktop [19:14] mate-desktop (source: mate-desktop): Library with common API for various MATE modules.

[19:16] * bubbasaures welcomes holstein back with a 14736251 salute [19:16] thanx man the dd to usb worked awesome. [19:16] upsell5: if you want to add an alias to your currently running shell instance: alias l='ls' (to alias l to ls) [19:16] What's the preference for a dm. I'm using both gdm and lxdm on other machines, at present. [19:17] lucid_interval: cool, and what file does it append to? [19:17] johnfg, lightdm is used === guest677 is now known as DSM [19:17] if you want to have this alias available when you log in next time (also): add a line with the same text to ~/.bash_aliases [19:18] So, with make-desktop installed, will startx start with mate? Or how do I call it? [19:18] johnfg, You will end up with a gui to login with. [19:18] If you add to ~/.bash_aliases and you want the alias immediately available in the currently running shell, after adding the line, in your current shell do: . ~/.bashrc - remember the '.' (DOT) at the start and the space between the dot and the .bashrc [19:19] bubbasaures: after a reboot, right? [19:19] johnfg, Yeah, [19:19] marcel_: Is that on your main drive? [19:19] bubbasaures: Or just logoff? [19:20] johnfg: did you install "ubuntu-mate-desktop" ? [19:20] johnfg, Might work with a log off with the correct start, my gnome shell would be sudo service lightdm start [19:20] johnfg: did you get a login manager? lightdm? when you added your mate packages? [19:20] holstein: I installed make-desktop. Is that the same thing? [19:20] isantop: im not sure what you mean. [19:21] johnfg: no.. but, that doesnt mean you want/prefer the ubuntu-mate-desktop metapackage [19:21] upsell5: also see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781047 [19:21] isantop: im running ubuntu on the internal ssd of my chromebook (installed via crouton). [19:22] marcel_: Ah, it's likely that ChromeOS is booting via UEFI, and the rest of those partitions are set up as a part of ChromeOS. You'll want to keep those partitions, since they contain the bootloader for your Ubuntu partition as well as for ChromeOS. [19:22] holstein: with the console that came up on the first boot of the vm, I can't scroll back, so I'm not sure if it installed a dm or not. [19:23] What's the diff between ubuntu-mate-desktop and mate-desktop? [19:23] johnfg: sure. the "easy" way, is literally reboot.. see if you have a login manager or not.. then, you can try "startx" or whatever.. [19:23] johnfg, make or mate desktop was that a typo? [19:23] typo [19:23] cool [19:24] johnfg: the "similarity" there is mate.. its like xubuntu vs xfce.. xubuntu cusomizes xfce to some degree [19:24] customizes [19:24] hi [19:24] Ok, I'll just reboot and see if I like it. Thanks for the help guys! [19:24] isantop: ok so the mess has to stay :D. im also struggling with installing my printer. since "ADD" in Printers is shaded gray. any idea on this? === luckybun| is now known as luckybunny [19:25] marcel_: it depends.. and who knows what you have insatlled, since you are not using ubuntu.. but, you have access to the repos, i assume [19:25] !printing [19:25] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [19:25] marcel_: That's about the one thing I no experience on. The only printers I've ever set up are HP, which are all plung-and-play [19:26] interesting. I get a regular login after a reboot, and mate-desktop didn't even install X! [19:26] marcel_: one thing i might do is load up an ubuntu live cd on other hardware, and see if anything "magically" happens with the printer support [19:27] I wonder if ubuntu-mate-desktop would do the same? [19:27] johnfg: i wouldnt jump to any conclusions like that.. i would just try insatlling that meta package.. and *look* and see what is being installed [19:27] "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop" [19:27] hey all, any one have a minute to help configure upstart to set oom_adj when a process starts?

[19:32] johnfg, you said "mate-desktop didn't even install X!" , did you change Desktop at login or just went back in?

[19:34] startx did what? johnfg ? [19:34] marcel_: It should be possible. My guess is that you're missing a package or two. Printing is not my forte. [19:34] johnfg, oke. autologin, then just logout, change desktop to mate and voila [19:35] OerHeks: i think the issue is, there is no login manager.. no lightdm, etc.. [19:35] OerHeks: Nothing, not installed :- [19:35] oh [19:35] I wonder if their repos are all open or all there [19:36] would it be a bad idea to employ TrueCrypt for whole disk encryption, then use freeOTFE? [19:36] for partition encryption? [19:36] sure you are on 14.10? mate-desktop is not availabe for 14.04 [19:36] WyZeGuY: its a bad idea to use truecrypt period, the developers say its should not be used anymore [19:36] WyZeGuY: that will be a matter of opinion, for you to decide. i would try a security channel.. there are included full-disk options [19:36] i would use what is stock, and supported.. not truecrypt [19:37] trijntje: i'm aware that they say it's broken, but the fact that they tell people to switch to bitlocker leads be not to believe it [19:37] OerHeks: yup [19:37] uname -a [19:37] WyZeGuY: sure.. so, research it, and use it if you want.. *no* one will say its "good" idea.. [19:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto is what i would refer to, WyZeGuY [19:38] holstein: i guess what i was wondering is whether or not it would break my computer? [19:38] mate is in 14.04 cinnamon was not in 14.04 [19:39] hey [19:39] WyZeGuY: sure.. try it and see.. i would have backups regardless.. since, *all* drives fail [19:39] hey [19:39] i have a problem: [19:39] http://pastebin.com/Zv8D4MUe [19:40] elichai2: try running this: sudo apt-get install -f [19:40] holstein: that's why i decided to ask first. i have paid software on here that i'd rather not lose to an experiment [19:40] nope [19:40] isantop, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

[19:48] yeah, but i can reinstall wine [19:48] i am working on py project for open source cloud hosting [19:48] frexious, ask in the rails and python channel [19:48] if it were my system, i would hit yes, and then, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see that that completes without issue, and move on from there [19:48] !alis | frexious [19:48] frexious: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[19:50] holstein, the weird thing, is that i'm pretty sure i already had g++ and build-essential and openssl etc. [19:50] elichai2: sure, could have been removed, or, you are misinterpreting a prompt somewhere [19:51] holstein, yeah, but how can i check that? [19:52] elichai2: i would, as i said, either purge my unsupported sources, and get back to stock, and go from there, or, just have that list of pacakges removed, and get the apt-get update and dist-upgrade to complete without error, and go from ther [19:52] there* [19:52] holstein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9445985/ [19:53] elichai2: sure. no doubt, you have packaging problems..

[20:22] holstein: yes.

[20:23] as well as sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras [20:23] johnfg: did you do that? [20:23] holstein: I'll read it and get back to ya.

[20:38] Curiosity4tech: sure, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:39] my question is can I remove afterwards everything related to KDE?

Anyone know more about this? [20:51] I removed the old files and sysstat started working again. [20:51] Curiosity4tech: not being an expert, I guess there's no other way than manually removing a bunch of packages... perhaps you find a list of these packages online in some forum.
